Now we will see why my previous comment was relevant.

A lesser included offense is an offense which itself constitutes one element of another offense. Under the doctrine of multiplicity, you may either be tried for the lesser included or the offense for which the lesser included is an element — but not both. To be charged with both would run afoul of the constitutional provisions limiting double jeopardy.

This is not part of any Utah statute, it’s a general constitutional principle under US law.

Why you made me say this twice, I do not know.

It's definitely along these lines. Like so much (everything?) that is us happens amongst this tiny little mesh of connections. It's just eerie, isn't it?

Sorry for the mundane, slightly off-topic question. This is far outside my areas of knowledge, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. :)
This is desktop only, correct? Personally I've been using Librera for my textbooks, would love to try some other recommendations.
[AI] "Frontier [supercomputer]: the storage capacity is reported to be up to 700 petabytes (PB)" (0.0007 ZB).

[AI] "The installed base of global data storage capacity [is] expected to increase to around 16 zettabytes in 2025".

Thus, even the largest supercomputer on Earth cannot store more than 4 percent of state of a single human brain. Even all the servers on the entire Internet could store state of only 9 human brains.

Astonishing.
I don't have any particular thoughts about DeepMind's board game algorithms or how they were advertised, but even if I happened to think it was the most innovative and influential research in years, I'd still ask for honest communication about the work. It's part of being a healthy research community - although clearly the AI community falls well short on this, and nobody could say it's only DeepMind's fault.
Don't like to see comments like these. I think it violates several HN guidelines, including this one:

Point 4 is what resonates with me, and first got me into knitting. So much of what I do is in front of a screen, and creating a real, physical object and having something to occupy my hands lets me step away from the computer and work relatively mindlessly.

My ghoti would like a word.
Yeah that's kinda the impression I got but was hoping it wasn't or there was an alternative. Thanks.

Is this one Open Source too? I wasn't sure which project it was under. But if it is then maybe someone else can revive it because I'd love to have a Slack alternative that is E2EE.
Temporal is really neat but I think its marketed at too many use cases.

After a year of high-scale Temporal work, I found it was only good for low-scale work.

The onboarding and learning curve were insanely difficult and complex. Ultimately it doesn't scale as well as you think. The temporal team invented their own database to get around this limitation.
Yeah we advise Graphistry users to keep GPU umap training sets to < 100k rows, and instead focus on doing careful sampling within that, and multiple models for going beyond that. It'd be more accessible for teams if we could raise the limit, but quality wise, it's generally fine. Security logs, customer activity, genomes, etc.

RAPIDS umap is darn impressive tho. Instead of focusing on improving further, it did the job. Our bottleneck shifted to optimizing the ingest pipeline to feed umap, so we released cu_cat as a GPU-accelerated automated feature engineering library to get all that data into umap. RAPIDS cudf helps take care of the intermediate IO and wrangling in-between.

Downstream, we generally stopped doing DBSCAN , despite being so pretty. We replace with cugraph/GFQL on the umap similarity graph, to avoid quality issues we see in practice, and then visually & interactively investigate the similarity graph in pygraphistry. Once you can see the k-nn similarity edges - and lack thereof -- you realize why scatter plot clusterings (visual or algorithmic) are so misleading to analysts and treat with more caution. There is a variety of umap contenders nowadays, but with this pipeline, we haven't felt the need to go beyond. That's a multi-year testament to Leland and team.

The result is we can now umap and interactively visualize most real world large datasets, database query results, and LLM embeddings that pygraphistry & louie.ai users encounter in seconds. Many years to get here, and now it is so easy!
It's simple, lightweight, safe serialization. If you need to convert data structures to bytes, you're going to use protobuf or something comparable.

It feels like it just has so many weird edge cases. A stable 2.3 branch that hasn't changed while the 1.2 branch has major security issues punishes you for not using the 1.x version.

A regularly updated 1.x branch for docs/security looks like you're doing fine even though the project is on 3.x and deprecating soon.

Perhaps as a vague guide to point to potential issues, sure.
I assume it's an oversight rather than an actual attempt to earn few pennies.
I think mainstream culture used to be more tolerant of people saying unintentionally hurtful things. And that cultural change puts at an disadvantage individuals who have higher autistic traits, impulsivity, etc. Whereas, people at the opposite end of the personality trait spectrum aren’t disadvantaged by it to anywhere near the same degree
A similar argument can be made of many primitives and their corresponding higher order applications.

Why build higher order concept Y when it's simply built on primitive X?

Why build the C programming language when C compilers simply generate assembly or machine code?

A sensible answer is that new abstractions make lower level primitives easier to manage.

I agree with you that the question of free will is a waste of time, which is why I generally avoid it. Maybe if you are a student of Catholic Church doctrine and have a final exam coming up? Sapolsky does not write from a Catholic perspective, but his audience might have been brought up with it so his writings might be provocative for them and thus profitable for him. I've been watching his career with more amusement than irritation. He is classic case of a regular guy becoming an "influencer." The same thing happened to Jordan Peterson. At the same time [2015] I found Sapolsky's lecture on depression I found Peterson's. Both not well known at the time. Both lectures really helpful. Both now well known influencers.
Then the rails example on the main page is wrong.
A while ago I started to build something similar, but I didn't get much farther than choosing a name for the project (https://github.com/mk12/loopy). I want to design a language that can specify patterns precisely and unambiguously, and then visualize them in a physically accurate way. For basic 2D patterns I was thinking I could render each stitch based on it and its neighbors (3x3 grid of K/P). But that wouldn't be that useful. What would really be neat is to use a physics engine to simulate the yarn in 3D. For example the simulations would show stockinette curling and ribbing stretching without that being hardcoded anywhere. But I think it's too hard and I have no idea where to start with that.
A sibling comment responded to me saying that it was pretty much dead, but that I was thinking of this[0]. You'll notice it looks a lot like Slack and that there's full teams support with full E2EE. And unlike slack you keep your history and other stuff. But I guess it is Open Source so maybe someone could revive it?

It's not, it's just supervised learning on evaluations. There is no self-play involved when training the model.

Two lines of argument: social opposition (people are scared by the technology and many religions strongly oppose human GMO) and lack of adequate technology (we couldn't actually make a permanent change that does what we want without side effects).

Note, germline modification means making changes to future children, and all their cells would permanently be modified, and they would pass the changes on to their children.

If one removes red while the other removes green, then if something looks dark through the lens that blocks green, and looks bright in the one that doesn't block green (but blocks red), then one could tell that it is green. (and visa versa for something red)

Not that this would give the same subjective experience of a person w/o colorblindness seeing red vs seeing green, but I wouldn't be surprised if it allows one to pass r/g colorblindness tests fairly well?

The towel doesn't really cool the cable, it just cools the temp sensor, which means now an important safety feature is indicating inaccurately. Best case, this could wear out the charger more quickly. Worst case, it wear out or damage your battery.
Ok, you've described the problem again, but I'm trying to understand what a realistic answer would look like.

Let's say for instance that some answer were "handicrafts built from local, Martian materials" along with "YouTube channel revenue". Sounds unrealistic to me, but maybe people would be willing to pay $1M for a little puppet made on Mars, and they could ship them out by the ton. The economics on this are unusual.

I don't know. I honestly think Martian colonization just will not happen until we have a global, peaceful, prosperous civilization. Then it would just be funded by the global government in a similar way and for similar reasons as the antarctic stations.

Even if protobuf isn't your preferred serializer, having any tight binary format be the standard across the ecosystem is miles better than everything slinging JSON around.

Lord knows how much energy we are wasting turning binary data into human readable text that no human will ever look at before it's parsed back into binary.
Starlink is not there to bring Internet in places that don't have it. It's here to bring fast Internet in places that already have slow Internet.

The question is: how fast an Internet connection do we need? Do we really need to swipe 4k videos on social network, or to download 50G of docker containers for every build? I don't think so.

New Ways to Manage UTIs
> And go is wrong for doing that, at least on Linux. It bypasses optimizations in the vDSO in some cases.

Go's runtime does go through the vDSO for syscalls that support it, though (e.g., [0]). Of course, it won't magically adapt to new functions added in later kernel versions, but neither will a statically-linked libc. And it's not like it's a regular occurrence for Linux to new functions to the vDSO, in any case.

Nothing pedantic about it. We live in an era where people ought to understand the difference between power (measured in watts) and energy (measured in joules, or calories, or watt-hours).

But for some reason this is widely misunderstood, resulting in frequent errors and poor decision making. The Times, a generally-reputable UK newspaper, once published a front page headline declaring that electric vehicles would require the equivalent of 20 new nuclear plants to be built in the UK. None of their fact checkers noticed that the entire article was based on an error that confused GWh (energy) with GW (power).
Quic is mostly used between client and data center, but not between two datacenter computers. TCP is the better choice once inside the datacenter.

Reasons:

Security Updates

Phones run old kernels and new apps. So it makes a lot of sense to put something that needs updated a lot like the network stack into user space, and quic does well here.

Data center computers run older apps on newer kernels, so it makes sense to put the network stack into the kernel where updates and operational tweaks can happen independent of the app release cycle.

Encryption Overhead

The overhead of TLS is not always needed inside a data center, where it is always needed on a phone.

Head of Line Blocking

Super important on a throttled or bad phone connection, not a big deal when all of your datacenter servers have 10G connections to everything else.

In my opinion TCP is a battle hardened technology that just works even when things go bad. That it contains a setting with perhaps a poor default is a small thing in comparison to its good record for stability in most situations. It's also comforting to know I can tweak kernel parameters if I need something special for my particular use case.
I would posit it is less from native speakers but from those learning the language. When you grow up hearing/learning/using a word, you just use it. I don't really remember learning words and being told their etymology, but do remember learning some when taking a foreign language class in school.

Could be completely wrong though

Until we start making them pay for the environmental impact, that is.
> Fix the apps. Nobody expect magical perf if you do that when writing to files,

We write to files line-by-line or even character-by-character and expect the library or OS to "magically" buffer it into fast file writes. Same with memory. We expect multiple small mallocs to be smartly coalesced by the platform.
Yeah, no one is going to "run a wire" out to Umiat, Alaska.

"I'm an interactive shell so I expect to have a lot of tiny packets" is what the delay is for. If you want to turn it off for those, you should turn it off for everything.

(If you're worried about programs that buffer badly, then you could compensate with a 1ms delay. But not this round trip stuff.)

Sounds like it was mostly a boondoggle all along. Seems smart to focus on smaller/cheaper drones. Life-cycle cost per F-22 looks to be $678 million/plane. For 32, that's $20 billion. What kinds of payloads and capabilities can you have with a swarm of 1 million $20,000 mass-produced drones? How would you defend against something like that? Or maybe a mix of 10 million $1,000 drones, and half a million $20,000 drones. Whether the Air Force would actually do something like that is another story through...

> Weeks aren't reality. Timezones aren't reality. Julian/Gregorian calendar months aren't reality. But they are essential.

And we ignore all of those in computer "system" clocks, and track them in a secondary local time layer, quite rightly. We should have handled leap seconds the same way.
Let us know when you switch back to a 300 bps audio modem.
If we wait until UTC and UT1 differ by one hour, dealing with the adjustment will be no more difficult than dealing with time zones.

Fittingly, the project is part of NIAC (NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts) which is specifically for borderline outlandish, far-future ideas like magnetic sails, space elevators, nuclear propulsion, a "Lunar Crater Radio Telescope" and many other somewhat crazy ideas.

I have some predictions (somewhat competing with one another, but I do think all three will occur to varying degrees):

1. It will lead to an even higher incidence of counterfeit products and used products being sold as if they were new.

2. It will lead to higher prices.

3. It will lead to a poorer selection of products.

All three, I think, will damage Amazon's future business, which in turn will induce Amazon to make more changes like these in a kind of profit-driven death spiral.

I already use Amazon very little these days because I can find more reliable quality and better prices from other sites. I used to use Amazon all the time for routine purchases, but now I only use it for items I can find nowhere else (an increasingly uncommon scenario).
The original games in the 90's? Yeah, probably. But cost of living was very different (so even if they made > 100k after adjusting for inflation, it went a lot farther), and the standards of games were much lower.

You can definitely make Doom 1993 with 1-3 people today (and without crunch). Making Doom 2016 levels of fidelity (even if we ignore the excellent optimization) would still be a very lofty task for 10 people. We still don't really have that many "full stack game devs" that can work at that scope and fidelity to bring the team size down.

It's not that much work; after all, every libc needs to have its own implementation. The kernel maps the vDSO into memory for you, and gives you the base address as an entry in the auxiliary vector.

But using it does require some basic knowledge of the ELF format on the current platform, in order to parse the symbol table. (Alongside knowledge of which functions are available in the first place.)
I've always liked the simplicity of protobuf, and this change seems to add unnecessary complexity. And: "What problems are Editions solving? In short, nothing really (for end users). The introduction of Editions is the result of major Google-internal refactoring[...]"
For me the disorder of it is stressful to look at. The brain has poor cable management.

That said I do get this eerie void feeling from the image. My first thought was to marvel how this is what I am as a conscious being in terms of my "implementation", and it is a mess of fibers locked away in the complete darkness of my skull.

There is also the morose feeling from knowing that any image of human brain tissue was once a person with a life and experiences. It is your living brain looking at a dead brain.

What made you choose the Supernote over the Remarkable?
It's not saying that black people cause murders, I don't think. It's an illustration of massive demographic replacement and gentrification: disadvantaged people are being pushed out. It's gone from being a poor minority community to a community with few minorities, and those that remain are of a higher economic class.

In turn, you don't have large groups of disadvantaged people milling together; you have a larger tax base for social programs and policing; etc. So it's also nonlinear.
"At least, that's my cynical internal dialog for the world's mentality today."

Did that not have the intended effect of stating that's how I feel other people think?
No, I am not. Car dominated cities and transport have many issues.

All EVs do is mitigate the tailpipe CO2 issue.

Take for example the phrase “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

Cars definitely are ideal for certain things, but designing society and the built environment with car transport at the primary concern is highly misguided and bad for the environment even if tailpipe emissions are no longer a thing.
