An app like this, that interoperates non-consentually with another app to modify or augment its behavior, is complete anathema to Apple's desired model of computing. In their view app developers have more right to control how your iPad operates than you do. Of course, Apple themselves have more control than app developers (and you), but don't worry, Apple will use their position to make sure that only good developers take control of your iPad!

I think you're glossing over how massive our factories and supply chains have become to enable today's miniaturization.

Primitive Technology can get you to the iron age, sure, but that's scrap quality. That's the INPUT to our current smelting chain. To make stainless steel you're going to need CO2 and Argon and Nickel and Chromium. That's just one of the structural materials needed, and it's one of the easiest! Polymers are going to be the real challenge...

A bigger problem is gonna be chips. Yes, chips are really small these days. Fabs are not. Fabs take billions of dollars and millions of man-hours to construct. Your robots which are accurate on the scale of millimeters (maybe), are going to need to produce and place optics to nanometer levels of precision (mm->nm is on the same scale as km->mm).

On top of all that, you need to confirm that the thing you're making is the thing you intended to, so you need to measure a bunch of stuff! You're going to need interferometers, CMMs, spectroscopes, electrical test equipment, etc. You can buy all that, sure, but now we're back in the billions of dollars and millions of man-hours territory.

Premium priced lunch food should not involve dealing with rude employees.

My experience at Sweetgreen has also been sour/rude employees.

Pay them more, figure out how to cut costs somewhere else since when you look at the breakdown in the article they are spending the money elsewhere and not on wages.

The interesting thing IMO is rude employees are not that common in these high priced fast food places.
Both Subversion[1] and CVS[2] had keyword substitution, which replaced
those tags with useful information like the commit id, author, date,
etc.

They were very useful when you were looking at a source file, to see what
version of that file you had.

Git had something similar with Git Attributes[3], but AFAIK, they were
just references to blob ids, so they never really took off.

For git, I now use tags (and versioning based on tags), that more or less replaced svn/cvs keyword substitution in the git ecosystem.

I don't quite understand. You don't update any references when thunks are evaluated, GHC's runtime does. The runtime shields you from any mutation, doesn't it? (Unless you explicitly ask it to let you mutate a value in memory, of course. But that goes beyond the normal evaluation of thunks.)

It's hard to tell with Google what's actually being released VS speculative demos. At first glance it all seems ahead of OpenAI but it's hard to tell how much of this is actually 'real' and will be in our hands.

The studio was pretty up front about it, they released a making-of video one day after debuting the short which made it clear they used VFX to fix Soras errors in post, but OpenAI neglected to mention that in their own copy so it flew under the radar for a while.

When we think about making an observation with a telescope, we might think of someone in a crow's nest looking at a far away island, and think: it could be debris, it could be a boat, it could be a smudge on the telescope, it could be a whale, etc. etc. There are several reasons why this intuition breaks down looking at the stars.

For one, astronomical systems are extremely regular. The same thing will happen, over and over, almost the exact same way, millions or billions of times before anything appreciably changes. It's extremely rare to find a system that is in the midst of significant change. We do find them, of course, and study them, but we do so after passing over countless "boring" areas of the sky.

This regularity means that anything we look at is extremely likely to be in a very stable configuration, and we can use our knowledge of orbital mechanics to rule out all sorts of things like weird dust clouds orbiting the star, which would not be stable (or would look very different if they were). Realize also that we stare at these systems (or at least check up on them periodically) for years at a time -- in this case they said 2006 to 2008, and again 2011 to 2012. So we can easily rule out some random thing passing between our telescope and the star precisely every 6.25 days for 3 years. It must be something stably orbiting the star.

We can also use the exact shape of the "light profile" to be pretty certain about the shape of the object passing in front of it. Over dozens or hundreds of observations, we see the same characteristic dip in light at the exact same period every time, and it matches the shape of a circle passing in front of another circle. It doesn't happen immediately, because the planet spends a bit of time only partly obscuring the star, and we can use this to discern that it is roughly circular in shape. We use this profile and the amount of reduction to calculate the size of the planet. Asteroids would be far too small to detect (we can't even detect all the asteroids in our own solar system!)

Also realize that when they say "light", they're usually looking at a whole spectrum of light. It's not one number that dips, it's a whole waveform that subtly changes. A dust cloud would be partly transparent, differently for different wavelengths, and change the light in a different way. In the extreme cases we can even use this to guess whether the planet might have an atmosphere, because it changes the waveform differently at its edges.

Space is also really empty. A bird might pass in front of your telescope on land, but in space, it's almost certain that nothing is going to randomly pass between you and what you're looking at, even over years.

And finally, even with all this, they spend years analyzing the data before they can be confident enough to make claims like this. There is a lot of data and a lot of time spent on it, and it's the culmination of many different lines of evidence. It's certainly not "flimsy".
Ok, with that one there’s definately a swastika and it’s not even slightly hidden.
Correction: Two professors teaching non-honors mechanics at Harvard. Authors' claim that using the non-honors course filtered out the "most well-prepared" students. The class appears to count as credit towards a physics degree and 1/3 of the class went on to pursue a physics degree.

Sure it's calculus-based, but non-calculus based mechanics is, IMO, educational malpractice at the collegiate level. You can do a qualitative approach to mechanics without calculus, but that ought not fill up an entire semester; a "survey of physics" class could take such an approach, but a purely mechanics class ought not.

[edit]

Also, the marginal student at Harvard is going to be quite similar to a student at any number of only-slightly-less selective schools. I could see an argument that this might not replicate at a large non-selective state school, but (assuming it replicates at Harvard), I'd assume it would replicate across a wide swath of selective schools.

I don't think this is what hayley-patton meant (although it's not crystal clear). I think SBCL does memory management with a bump allocator and a moving collector. So if you build a linked list sequentially, the cons cells will be allocated sequentially, and will be sequential in memory. If you build it in random order, they won't be. But when the collector runs, it will move the whole list, and it will move the cells in sequential order, and then it will be.

Ramsey's responsible for the famous theory that bears his name. The core concept of Ramsey Theory is this: Regardless of how extensive and complex a system S is, and no matter how large a positive integer n is, it is possible to find a sufficiently large super system Q that includes S. In such a way, no matter how Q is colored using n colors, Q will always contain a monochromatic copy of S.

So Ramsey Theory explores the mathematics of coloring, but it has exerted tremendous influence on 20th century mathematics more generally -- it works to elucidate a lot of notions surrounding infinite and finite sets. In fact, it's clearly among the most influential 20th century mathematical theories; Paul Erdős' storied career owed an awful lot to Ramsey, and Ramsey theory also inspired Ramsey's friend Ludwig Wittgenstein's work in analytic philosophy.
Well, when Chrome first came out, it was definitely way faster than the other browsers for websites that had heavy JavaScript usage a la GMail. I imagine the gap has closed quite a bit, but I would suspect that it's probably still there, since they can coordinate development of both their web apps and the browser to work well together.

More recently, there was that whole thing where YouTube was "accidentally" adding delays to non-Chrome browsers.

Ask HN: Recruiters Ghosting
A recruiter canceled an interview they scheduled with me without any notice. I open my calendar the event was removed, no email, no nothing. I email them to see if this was intentional/mistake - no reply.

Do they not understand that their behavior can tarnish the company's reputation? I'll never work for them, even if they chase me in the future and offer me a fortune. I don't want to be part of a company that treats people that way.

The potential harm to the business is massive. Why do companies let recruiters treat prospects like less than?
Today this is mostly implemented by having a guest driver pass calls through to a layer on the host that does the actual rendering. While I agree that there is a lot of magic to making such an arrangement work, it's a terrible awful idea to suggest that relying on a vendor's emulation layer is how things should be done today.

Proper GPU virtualization and/or partitioning is the right way to do it and the vendors need to get their heads out of their ass and stop restricting its use on consumer hardware. Intel already does; you can use GVT-g to get guest gpu on any platform that wants to implement it.

This is good to see! I have been testing with some of the Pimoroni NVMe bases, but a major issue with those is that the unshielded cable completely blocks 2.4GHz WiFi signals. Hopefully that's an artifact of the base sitting under the Pi (so the cable curves around the WiFi antenna) -- a HAT theoretically doesn't have the same issue.

Though the question arises of how to use this HAT with the active cooling system... if we can get both an SSD and a fan on the same Pi (without sacrificing WiFi), that gets us to basically full blown computer performance!

> Sora was impressive because the clips were long and had lots of rapid movement

Sora videos ran at 1 beat per second, so everything in the image moved at the same beat and often too slow or too fast to keep the pace.

It is very obvious when you inspect the images and notice that there are keyframes at every whole second mark and everything on the screen suddenly goes in their next animation step.

That really limits the kind of videos you can generate.
I don't find the fixed code "better in every way". The ultra-long names are hard to read, partly because they take up a lot of space and move the important part -- the GetTable() call -- further right:

var err error
var leftSideTableExists
tm.leftTbl, leftSideTableExists, err = rm.left.GetTable(...)
if err != nil { ... }
if leftSideTableExists { ... }

Plus, the code explicitly defines the variables with "var" instead of ":=", making it more verbose, and it overwrites tm.leftTbl even if GetTable returns an error (doesn't matter in this case as tm is locally-created, but is often not desired). I'd probably just call it "exists", but if you do want to distinguish left-exists and right-exists, I'd use "leftExists"; "side" and "table" are obvious from the context:

left, leftExists, err := rm.left.GetTable(...)
if err != nil { ... }
if leftExists { ... }
tm.leftTbl = left
