Fine but lately I have been worried that people are crazy or the news I get are fake because I can't understand that in 2024, some countries are still warring to the point that people speak loosely about their nuclear arsenal and nuclear options (French media).
While deaths could be averted so easily if this is merely a territory issue.

There has to be some meta-level concerns.

Politics is really strange. Are they playing poker or is this some obscure stuff going on?

Oh I could ramble on people playing the geo-positioning game in Africa too for instance but that existed before I was born and as stupid as I think it may be... They are still trying to do it for some reason. French specificity I guess nowadays because what the goal of the presence near Australia...
I mean if some people reproach to Putin that he has views on part of the Ukrainian territory, assuredly, they can't be claiming to still have views on New Caledonia, or Chad, or elsewhere(they call these interests, whatever that means, probably minus the people) etc.
Am I misunderstanding something?

Doesn't seem very democratic to me...

Just wondering if this is intellectual laziness and lack of EQ that make them take the wrong decisions each time or whether there is something else, perhaps at the brain level?

Even "real" news are weird.

Not all MVNOs are deprioritized. Many are, but the Reddit thread mentioned in a sibling comment outlines it well.

Been with Verizon Wireless for 20 years. Got sick of how expensive their entry level 5G plan was with deprioritized data. Switched to US Mobile a few months ago. Half the price month-to-month, good prioritized data pool (35GB), and 5G UW access.

I'm not sure what you mean. There are fewer flashy announcements for things that block people, but development continues unabated, with large refactors that enable things that weren't possible before. Things like Return Position Impl Trait In Traits, Derefs in patterns, a new trait system checker, enhancement to const eval, generators and that's just of the top of my head. Not everything is gonna land soon, but development is happening. The major language feature work is happening, they just are large enough or contentious enough that stabilizing them will take time.
We've All Felt It
The tensor cores that do the bulk of the flops on the bulk of the gpus people use are just various sizes of floats, i think. We're in a funny position where progress in models and progress in hardware are kind of linked.

As far as expressive power goes, it shouldn't make a difference for the models in common use, but I could totally imagine models where it improves readability.
"Inconveniencing people" is such a...polite? take, which I don't agree with.

* Wife in labor, need to get to the hospital. Stuck in traffic for hours. Mom and/or baby die.
* Job interview, been unemployed for 8 months, late, stuck in traffic for hours. No job.
* Ambulance trying to rush a patient in critical condition to hospital. Stuck in traffic. Dead.
* Trying to pick kid up from daycare. Hours late, huge fee, kicked out of daycare, possibly lose job.

I can keep going.

Let us assume for a second that all the above scenarios are people who are neutral to the cause of the protest. Now they hate the cause of the protest, along with all of the people who felt second-order effects from the "inconvenienced" people.

"Inconveniencing people" is such an arrogant, selfish, self-centered way to view a protest that can have lasting consequences. Accepting that at collateral damage is, frankly, bullshit.
Even in electronica, trivial "vocal hooks" go a long way towards getting the audience to bond with the music.
A technical factoid: A "song" has melody and words. A convenient term for a tune without lyrics is... "tune."
I believe the highest achievement in music as an art form occurs when complex, stimulating lyrics are married to equally complex music.

In rock music I think "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" by Genesis achieves that pinnacle. After nearly 50 years the Lamb stands alone in that it blends a weird, complex story line riddled with references and allegories to classical literature with an equally complex score of music that fuse together into a cinematic, theatrical and intellectually stimulating musical experience. Nothing, I mean nothing, in the rock music catalog comes close to what the Lamb achieves: what other album weaves in references to Sondheim's West Side Story, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Keats' Lamia, and Carl Jung? The storyline was almost entirely written by Peter Gabriel, who loves word play, which is peppered throughout the lyrics. Even the title itself is an allegorical word play, as the story line is about a young man Rael who goes on a spiritual journey; in literature a lamb is a symbol of self-sacrifice for redemption.

The Lamb is headphone music to ponder by. It's not party music, it's not to dance to, just as one doesn't read Huxley or Cervantes while on the beach.

My understanding is that the "flaw" was that it allows itself to be modified via the amendment process. Given his connection to self-referential problems, this makes sense.
I like d3 and have built a lot of things in it but every time I go back to it after not using it for a few years, I can never remember much, the docs just confuse me more, and I feel like I’m back at square one.

Whereas you could show me some partial differential equations to solve that I haven’t touched in 10 years and that somehow comes back quicker.

But I also think the d3 reference docs are absolutely horrible too.
>Meetup app also helps connecting with people with similar outdoor activities such as hiking.

Hah! It's funny that you mention that. Like OP, I've also kicked social media and heavy internet use to the curb. I also happen to love multi-day backpacking trips, but one of the things I love the most about them is the complete solitude I can have for days on end! Something about being completely disconnected like that is soul-soothing for me.
Thank god, i am so sensitive to all lawn equipment noise, this is a huge public good and I think there should be more restrictions on this class of machine, gas and electric
That theory is espoused by the same people who think it was built by aliens. It's not plausible. Per this study, by the time the Sphinx is built rainfall has already decreased substantially. The rain erosion theory requires the Sphinx be thousands of years older than records indicate and predate the first pharaoh by several millennia.
Most people don't realize how much solar is getting deployed and how quickly it's grown, so the poster is most likely expecting the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, numbers in solar always seem to exceed estimates, see for example this veteran forecaster joking about the 1TW/year deployment mark:

> Reasons solar industry analysts don't want to forecast that a terawatt gets built in a year, ever:

> - axis on chart doesn't go that high

> - makes wind industry feel bad

> - can't find markets to put it all in without the number being clearly ridiculous for that specific market

Yes and no.

One can debate whether anti-theft is a worthwhile trade-off for stalking, but because it's implemented as a peer-to-peer network, the consent of the owners of the other peers is relevant.

The huge shift here is that this feature exists in the first place - it's an on-by-default peer-to-peer network that runs on almost all phones, very few people know about and almost nobody would have consented to if they understood it could be used for stalking.
You are approaching this as if this is some sort of a debate, with a panel of judges who score us point depending on our performance. That is not the case. There is no competition, no judges, and whatever it is we are doing is nothing like competitive debate.

If we were doing competitive debate, a tactic like building a hypothetical Nakba denier, and claiming I have to understand their point—despite denying the Nakba being obviously wrong—that tactic might work in competitive debate, but not here. I don’t care about people who deny a real historical event, and I don’t have to acknowledge them, let alone understand them. They are just wrong. If they exists, that changes nothing, except the number of misinformed and wrong people surrounding this issue.

This is not a competitive debate, but an internet forum aimed at tech workers and tech enthusiasts. My goal here is to inform people of the ongoing genocide (which is really sad that that is something we need to do in the 21st century) because there are tech workers contributing to the genocide. I entered this thread 10 days ago because you had been gish galloping common myths about the issue (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40269500) and I felt the need to correct some of them for a wider audience. Some of those myths were ridiculous and obviously wrong, such as Zionism being a dog whistle, and smearing Pro-palestinian protestors as Nazis. It was not hard to correct those. Why I continued the thread though, that is anybodies guess.

IF your goal is to win me in a debate, you have probably succeeded. Congratulations. But I’d like to remind you that there are real victims in the ongoing genocide. Real people, some of them are tech workers who may have an account here on HN. To them this is not a debate which seperates people into “our team” and the “other team”. To them this is a disaster, a tragedy. Out of respect to all the victims of the genocide, I’m not gonna “agree to disagree”. You were wrong on multiple points in your original post, and while these wrong points persist in the public dialog, there will be tech workers feeling OK about contributing their work into furthering the atrocities, which will result in even more of our comrades being murdered in the ongoing genocide.
I'm pretty sure Berkeley (or UC?) had a System V license and was allowed to redistribute code based on it in BSD. That became a point of contention later, when the *BSDs started to become popular. This is all very old stuff so I might have the details wrong.

It was definitely a fun time to be at UCB. I remember getting the early Sun workstations and porting stuff to them. It was a really good port of BSD, but that Motorola chip was a problem for some things. I ported the Franz Lisp compiler (liszt) to it.
Random question: how does one even make a Facebook account nowadays?

My wife has a client whom needed her to manage a campaign on Facebook so she attempted to make an account. It instantly got banned as spam. Like, instantly, before even being able to login.

I then tried to make one on her behalf to the same result. Me being me, I thought “I’ll use a different email”. Nope. Phone number, nope. Different phone number, nope. Different phone number while I’m in India, nope. Get my mum to make one, nope. Pay a local to make one, nope.

We just gave up in the end and her client settled for being advised over a screen share in a call.

I’ve not had an account for well over a decade nor has my wife so this was all really strange considering she only wanted the account in order to make them money by the way of managing ad campaigns for her clients.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Genuinely: what do you know about effective protesting? Are you speaking from experience as a successful organizer who got legislation passed or local policies reformed due to your activism? Do you have sociological papers on the phenomenon maybe, are you a journalist who investigates this? Your criticisms would have more weight if I had a better idea from which the experience you had to make these criticisms.
I think it's a little different. It's like asking "what is the probability that a given coin is in the round that the player wins?" But the St Petersburg paradox isn't about that, it's purely about how many coins the player wins. I suppose it runs into similar problems when you ask about prizes that are so large that the bank runs out of coins, but I think it remains interesting even if you cap it at some finite number of coin flips. It still has the small-probability-of-huge-payout property.

If you've ever looked at the Kelly Criterion, that seems related (and in fact is one of the articles linked to from that Wikipedia page). There you maximise expected log return at each round, and I think that tames the infinity in this case (though I have _not_ checked that).
you could even train an llm on examples of ai generated code you've edited to look like your own and use that to rewrite ai written code
I am not actually intending to be sarcastic at all - I think the entire industry is morally bankrupt. I am a real estate developer (re-developer actually - specializing in heritage buildings and other complicated adaptive reuse projects), so I deal with planners, committees, official plans, zoning by-laws and the building code daily. It is painful to see indefensible requirements being thrust on projects - even those projects (like mine) that the municipality seems predisposed to desire (saving old buildings, intensifying the core, etc etc).

What’s worse, is to watch governments now rush to “fix” the mistakes that they are solely responsible for by punishing people - retroactively changing the rules - and costing average folk their savings. I refer to Canada specifically which made it so challenging to build housing for 40 years that we have a massive scarcity and housing crisis that is being “fixed” by taxing / fining people for having a second home.
> Qualcomm is basically raising prices behind the scenes

> it still a shame that of all the things they decided to cut to make it cheaper / hit the $600 pricepoint (instead of the $800+ flagship tier) is... the radio.

If it's truly a shame that they went to a lower-performing competitor then maybe Qualcomm thinks that their modem is worth more than they were charging because they provide a superior product.

Despite the demand, the revenue per employee for the company might be low, and those companies might not be able to pay high salaries to employees.

Would it be different from a web-browser? Isn't the webstack already the modern textual interface everyone is using? I mean that's also the direction they all are walking to, with adding images to terminals, having more complex layout with TUIs. I think I remember some TUI-toolkit which even used a limited CSS for describing their interface. And there are some terminals and alternatives which are build with NodeJS and webstack IIRC. So would it make more sense to find some proper standards for webstack-based cli-interfaces?

Albums and playlists are not themselves pieces, but collections of pieces. Passage is a generic term for a portion of a song across the time domain, and part is the term for what one performer is contributing among many.

Analogy: "image" is like "piece of music" in that it is a general term that divides into photo, graphic, and more. A photo album is not an image, it is a collection of images (specifically photos). And across art more generally, "piece" could be a unit of music, image, sculpture, or others.

A piece is a unit. Like a SKU. Like a chocolate bar with a barcode on it (piece of music), which arrives in a carton of many bars (album or playlist) and can also be broken along scored subdivisions (verses or movements). Some bars are milk chocolate (song), others are dark chocolate (concerto), and plenty of other varieties as well. Don't clap between movements, only at the end of the piece.

Is "hoover" a genericized trademark used to refer to many other vacuum cleaners because "vacuum cleaner" is more cumbersome to say in casual conversation? Yes. Is it useful to point that out in an analysis of different vacuum cleaners? Yes.
> Scoped threads have been reintroduced to Rust

Right, but those are a mere shadow of what they used to be, which was JoinHandle with a lifetime parameter. You can’t build a thread pool or async runtime with static borrowing across tasks, which makes the use case very narrow.

> There's also significant interest in introducing true linear types to Rust, where destructors would be guaranteed to run

I’m glad to hear that. I’ve always hoped it’s possible to introduce non-breaking through a new auto trait but there are many delicate details around unwinds and such that may be gnarly. As well as an accumulated dependence on Arcs in library code.
You basically can run through a high capacity battery in less than 10 minutes, completing a light cleanup of a standard 1/4ac lawn. The battery itself will take 3-4 hours.

Running through an entire block would deplete numerous batteries, meaning you’ve got to purchase 2 dozen if your crew is going to do the average 20ish homes a day. The purchase cost is one thing sure, but batteries are a consumable and the logistics of charging are no joke for the average crew.

This is all just to blow some light leaves and clippings. This doesn’t account for running trimmers or god help you the lawnmower itself.

The tech just isn’t there yet and given the extremely high energy density and ease of use of gasoline, it may never match it.
Ouch, I think "holding it wrong" is an optimistic view, I would describe this as gaslighting really
Some women have multiple partners as well, though. It's not obvious to me that this indicates some sort of imbalance.
> It's not an argument for always insisting on eliminating 100% of memory safety bugs via sound methods regardless of budget.

Firstly, I never said sound methods ought to be used. Secondly, I also never said that memory safety bugs always must be eliminated without qualification, I specifically couched this in a context of security. In that context, ensuring memory safety is absolutely critical. For instance, scientific simulations of the weather or something don't have such considerations.

The whole problem of memory unsoundness is that you cannot predict the scope or severity of unsoundness. They are simply not like other "bugs", so the heuristic arguments the OP presented simply don't work. All other desirable properties derive from memory soundness, so if you cannot rely on it then your system effectively has no guarantees of any kind.

So yes, any system with any kind of attack surface should absolutely ensure memory safety by any means necessary. If you need to use an unsafe language for performance reasons, as per my initial reply, then isolate the unsafety to trusted kernels (like checked arrays) that can be verified by model checking or other proof techniques.

> given that 1) It's not in Meta's interest

Somewhat glib answer is it needs to be in their interest. Section 230 means the social media platforms are insulated from liability for the content they publish and promote. It was conceived in a world where those platforms were perceived as (relatively) neutral infrastructure for publishing and sharing content. But it's a long time since they were neutral. The algorithms used to promote content are, in effect, editorial control. The net result is that these platforms get to choose what users see - without any of the accountability that mainstream media has with regards journalistic integrity and veracity of content. Which isn't to suggest mainstream media is a paragon of balance and truth; but at least there are laws that can be used to hold those organisations to account.

I'm no lawyer and doubt the answer is as simple as revoking section 230. But something needs to be done. Perhaps the EU's investigations into Meta [1, 2] will inform an answer.

"I suddenly had a picture of the entire astonishing edifice collapsing and modern man plunging headlong back into the primordial ooze. He's floundering, sloshing about, gulping for air, frantically treading ooze, when he feels something huge and smooth swim beneath him and boost him up, like some almighty dolphin. He can't see it, but he's much impressed. He names it God."

Yeh, U[0, 1] is different because it assigns non-zero probabilities to intervals, not points. In this case we're assuming that we live in an uncountable population (each real in [0, 1] is a person), so you can't do things like assign a unique number to each person. There, even if the maniac goes on kidnapping forever, he will only kidnap a countable subset of the population. Thinking about this honestly makes my brain hurt a little.
