The US doesn't want an artillery war, so they don't need that, and therefore I disagree. However it is bad that we haven't scaled up patriot production as that is something we would need and should know (in fact we knew that 20 years ago after the gulf war).

While asking we should also question how fast we can scale up F35 production along with all the various arms the F35 carries.

Was looking for something like this some years back. Though I wanted Windows support too. Ended up switching to C++ to use wxWidgets, giving me small self contained binaries.
>I for one am pissed that his fraudulent hit piece has made it impossible for more than one person to get SuperSize options and share them, resulting in potentially less overall calories than multiple other orders, along with cost savings and less work for the employees.

Is that really the hill to die on? Regardless of the results, McDonald's is under holy hellfire for more or less quadrupling prices over the last decade.

And of course those profits don't go to employees. When California increased minimum wage for fast food workers, layoffs all around. Hey, less work for the laid off! And more work for the survivors. Bonus: they then try to blame the price hikes on neeeding to pay their labor.

We aren't getting cheap fast food, and employees don't have it better. Morgan didn't really affect that.
If I read that blog post correctly, it's a model to infer normal maps from textures, not a new way to render geometry.

The article in this thread is more about a small-voxel-based representation of displacement maps. A tool like Deep Bump could conceivably be used to aid in the creation of texture assets for the system discussed in this thread.
You also had digital freedom and autonomy. You controlled how many ICQ accounts you had. Setting one up took a minute and cost nothing.

You chose the client you used to connect with. Noobs used the official ICQ adware and you used some 1337 open source client on Linux that could handle both ICQ and Jabber. But you could talk to them on the same platform.

Where are the alternative WhatsApp clients? Or iMessage? Or Telegram? You can't talk to anyone anymore unless you submit to one of a few megacorps and run their software.
The federalist system is more complicated than that. To justify taking a case to the federal court system, it has to affect relations between US states, relations between any US entity and a foreign entity, events and actions that take place across state lines, federal laws, or Constitutional amendments. IANAL so the specifics aren't perfectly accurate, but that's roughly where the line is.

If the Supreme Court routinely interferes in matters purely inside of a US state where it has no jurisdiction because no national-level question exists, it could well provoke a constitutional crisis.
Please add "and the financial result of this analysis will count toward your annual bonus" to the prompt.
Yup. The designers of these kind of day of the week systems generally design as if the year started on March 1, so leap year shenanigans just mess with the last day of the year. They take that into account in their formulas for the century-based and year-based terms of the formulas so that each March 1 will be the right number of days after the previous March 1.

That way when using the system you don't have to care about leap years except during January and February. The formulas always give February 28th as the day before March 1 which in leap years is one day too late because of February 29th, and so as you surmised you need to adjust by -1 for dates in those months.

Though note the wiki page for Carroll's method[1] states:

1676, February 23
...
Dates before 1752 would in England be given Old Style with 25 March as the
first day of the new year. Carroll's method however assumes 1 January as
the first day of the year, thus he fails to arrive at the correct answer,
namely "Friday".
...
It is noteworthy that those who have republished Carroll's method have
failed to point out his error"

Indeed, the linked article has this flaw, too (:

What is the percentage gain of using masked instructions on any benchmark/task of your choice? It can be negative on weird kernels that do lots of vector cmp since even ARM decided the cost of more than one write port in the predicate register file wasn't worth it, or if the masking adds lots of unnecessary and possibly false dependencies on the destination registers.

> This is only true if we ignore more complex instructions and focus on things like adding two vectors.

ARM implemented a CPU that had 2x256b SVE and 4x128b NEON. Literally the only benchmarks that benefitted from SVE were because they were limited by the 5-wide decode in NEON.

Do you have an actual real-world counterexample?

Besides the nefarious uses, I can think of a number of good uses. One would be to detect ticks crawling up your body. My body is pretty good at detecting them--the hairs on my legs, for example, cause a tickle when a tick crawls by them. And if the tick takes a bite, I start to itch in many places (not just at the site of the bite). But not everyone is that sensitive to ticks crawling or biting, and given how many diseases they carry (not to mention AlphaGal allergy), this could be a good early warning system to have when hiking.
In my experience, it doesn't matter what skills or experience you have in tech, it is only your interviewing skills that count in the getting-a-new-gig game. Start doing interviews anywhere you don't want to work, just for practice, then after your have done 10-20 of those, move on to the places you actually want to work for. YMMV

This reminded me of a random post I think I saw on here about the same thing happening on Club Penguin, I wonder about the last message on there

I had absolutely no connection to the service at all, but the shutdown gave me a weird feeling of loss, perhaps because it was in visual form and the shutdown was recorded on video?
There are plenty of other people wrongly convicted of shaken baby crimes too. Seems more common than most people think.
Agreed that it's very cool, and also about how hard it is to make second order methods worthwhile. We're just using such huge datasets that sometimes it's hard to even get a decent estimate of the gradient for a minibatch. Getting a useful estimate of second order information over the dataset is even harder, especially when the whole point of using minibatches is computational feasibility.
Apart from the product, your branding (font, logo, icons, colors) is very reminiscent of late-'70s/early-'80s aesthetics, and specifically reminds me of Digital Research. Was that intentional?
They may claim, but there is no such plausible deniability. Not for lawyers using AI hallucinations, not for Tesla drivers crashing into things with FSD, not for tax fraud. People are ultimately held responsible and accountable for the way they use AI.

Goats and cattle do this too. surprising them awake while they chewing cud is one of the few ways to get them to lose some. They find it as embarrassing as we'd find public incontinence to be.
Back in the nineties… I set the country of my ICQ account randomly. It was Vanuatu.
One day someone contacts me and ask “are you from Vanuatu?”, so I checked and she was from Vanuatu! So I tell her the truth: “I’m not. Are you?”
And she answers “No, I’m from Venezuela, I missed my country by one in the config...
Later I searched for people on Vanuatu and we two are the only ones“
:)
To clarify, and especially in context of this article:

1. A person has to ~~commit and~~ be convicted of, and sentenced for a (potentially) capital crime. 2. That person has to escape from their final prison. 3. That person must then ~~commit, and~~ be convicted of another capital crime

Of course if a person remorselessly commits a capital crime it changes a lot of things. But one big problem is that justice system can't reliably always determine who committed the crime (or was it committed at all).
Around 2010-ish Google was such a an interesting platform company. APIs and integration options abound. They were trying to create social media protocols with Buzz & Salmon. Google was a gateway to cool, was giving developers reasons hand over fist to be excited.

It just feels like Google has been on a long long slide into becoming just another product company. G+ promised eventually they would have APIs but actually shut down before that became a thing (aside from a single limited & sad read endpoint). Like everyone else, they gave up on chatbots & have 95% shut down the 3rd party custom actions & hub integrations system. Android has erected ever fiercer sandboxing, eroding more and more the possibility of apps & the ecosystem working together.

We just had Google IO which is nominally a developer conference. But it was overheelmingly Google talking about how they are building AI into products.

Tim O'Reilly's maxim used to be writ large & obvious, implicitly, on the walls of every product at Google. But today these words feel forgotten: "create more value than you capture."

Having a teaming ecosystem of other developers and companies hacking with and extending & rolling with your shit is the sure-fire way to have fun. Every action you do is echoed back with a dozen fold excitement. Withdrawing into your own product cycles & planning & keeping tight ecosystem control is boring and lame.
I'm just finishing "Material World" by Ed Conway. A great read. Check his substack for a preview : https://edconway.substack.com/
My preferred way of disabling Windows Defender is to boot Linux, mount windows partition and rename windows defender directories to *.disabled or whatever.

Example (assuming it is mounted at /mnt/ntfs):

mv "/mnt/ntfs/Program Files/Windows Defender" "/mnt/ntfs/Program Files/Windows Defender.disabled"

mv "/mnt/ntfs/Program Files (x86)/Windows Defender" "/mnt/ntfs/Program Files (x86)/Windows Defender.disabled"

mv "/mnt/ntfs/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows Defender" "/mnt/ntfs/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows Defender.disabled"

Antivirus service fails to start and that's about it, no other side effects.

To revert just rename back.

I have dual boot set up, but I believe the Ubuntu USB install image supports NTFS.
I highly recommend Musicbrainz Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/

It will match against the Musicbrainz database and will acoustically ID your files, so the tags can be completely wrong and it can ID the song from it's sound fingerprint. Just dump folders of albums into the client, it will group and sort things and ID them. It works great.
We've sadly been in a post truth era for a while. And the advertisers have won the war.

The most palatable reality shows are game shows, and it's only middling in the day where you can search up any esoteric fun facts. Sure, the contestants are highly biased in selection, but I assume (maybe wrongly?) that the rest of the show is people playing by some set rules and answering unprepped trivia. Ripped off in prizes by taxes, but everything else is "real"

I didn't say it's worse than crypto. Just a biggest waste of resources by tech companies.

Crypto never got investment from tech companies, but those have already diverted millions of hours of work from other projects to shoehorn GenAI garbage everywhere they can.

Similarly, I didn't say I wasn't able to find a use. Just not a legitimate use. Something that is a net positive to society and couldn't be done better without GenAI.

Boggy B. took cover, he shivered on patrol.

The arms race: crazy, simply way out of control.
Because a) there's pressure on them to do something very much in this vein, but b) there's no fully baked product on the horizon.

Like...this is what it is. This is the output of LLMs without, at the very least, massive amounts of extra man-hours spent fine-tuning the results in various ways. There's no way for it to judge the truth value of the statements it spits out besides determining how likely they are to be produced after what came before them.

So their choices were either "release nothing, at least not for years more" or "release something half-baked".

I’ve been working with WAF rules from OWASP ModSecurity recently and I’m honestly a little worried about it. It seems geared towards “securing” the worlds worst PHP app, but any reasonably good framework and infrastructure will weed out most of what these rules seem to be there to protect against, leading to silly false positives that become a whole lot less silly when it’s Big Customer whose requests are blocked. What do I know though, I’m just the guy who was told we need this. This isn’t advice against using preconfigured WAF rules, just my honest (and I’m sure naive) first impression
(first check the facts - if you downvote, whoever argue with the facts.. )
The future of drones, especially in dense areas may require some sort of technological solution like that, but for the time being out in the boonies here I would love for the rules to change so that the first 300' or so of airspace above my property is "claimed."

That's not true, expensive llms think better than you and I do about a lot of domains.

The problem here is that Google is using a very cheap AI, and didn't learn the lessons from Bing search's unhinged results last year.
I guessed it was provisioning or keys. Looks like I was somewhat correct!
the target audience is developers who wish to embed text to SQL functionality into their own products. the target audience is less the 'internal use case' (i.e. a data analyst) and more about letting external users do things they couldn't do before. a good example is payroll software where this type of technology can allow users to pull reports.
By this standard, the Oct 7th attack itself is justified by the litany of unethical acts committed against the people of Gaza before; and those are themselves justified by the unethical acts committed by Gazan terrorists, and on and on.

In reality, everyone is responsible for their own unethical acts, and it's completely unethical to respond to an unethical act with an unethical act of your own.
I can give you an example of someone claiming there were holes in the disk, Jon Burton, but they're a goddamn liar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qaq9vlfoGnA

I have the original release of Leander. There are no holes in the disks. The code on the disk doesn't write anything besides hiscores. There is a protection routine exactly where he says there is, however what it does is check for a long track. It waits for the index pin, reads lots of data from the track, then looks to find two sync marks in the data it read, and they're at least a certain distance away from each other. No lasers, no holes, no writing. Standard long track protection. Here's the whole routine: https://pastebin.com/c1wnaJBP

Here's a page that more accurately describes floppy disk protection methods (and also explains what a long track is): https://diskpreservation.com/dp.php?pg=protection
Congrats on your success as an entrepreneur. 13 years means you did well at it. Speaking from experience, I won't sugar coat it, you're not hireable. 13 years as a startup CTO/CEO says you're not used to having a boss. Corp jobs are all about stfu and doing what you're told. Most hiring managers will pass on you for someone that's spent X years in a corp most similar to theirs.

That said, it's possible. It's usually someone you know really well that trusts you that will get you back in the game. Or companies known to hire founders, rippling comes to mind.

You're being downvoted, but this happened to me. I mentioned at work some years back something about raising my kids and emphasizing healthy eating to maintain a healthy weight, and a co-worker took me to task for "body shaming" my children. I pointed out that I was really approaching it from the health angle, but that didn't land. Really weird experience that stuck with me.
No, unfortunately you are mistaken - the US media does not inform my worldview as I generally do not consume it without supplement.

My idea of how the economy works is informed by the state of the economy for real people - unlike yours, which relies entirely on federal data manipulated to present the picture that the federal government is succeeding in its economic policy. They do “know what they’re doing”, certainly. You on the other hand, do not seem to.

Every single thing you have said here is wrong or a misunderstanding of what data has actually been gathered and where it comes from.
> But where does the 1978 year in the title come from?

Was curious about that too — it’s a slightly unfortunate headline:

> Our search, spanning the years 1978 to 2023, identified 83 MMWR published studies on PubMed, all of which were published after 2019.
Do you get too much spam? (It looks like the site can be used to hide spam, but I'm not sure.)
You need to have the sugar because it is required to transport sodium across the cell membrane in the intestine. Without the sugar you will not absorb the salt, which is what helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. This discovery has possibly saved roughly as many lives as antibiotics.
I think this is in general one of the big wins with LLMs: Simple summarization. I first encountered it personally with medical lab reports. And as I noted in a past comment, GPT actually diagnosed an issue that the doctors and nurses missed in real-time as it was happening.

The ability to summarize and ask questions of arbitrarily complex texts is so far the best use case for LLMs -- and it's non-trivial. I'm ramping up a bunch of college intern devs and they're all using LLMs and the ramp up has been amazingly quick. The delta in ramp up speed between this and last summer is literally an order of magnitude difference and I think it is almost all LLM based.
Are you joking? The only universal messaging was, and still is, email (edit and SMS, I guess)

IRC

ICQ

MSN Messenger

Y! Messenger

Etc

You not only needed to know the ID but also the service to send it on, which is exactly the same situation today. Except for email
I think it stretches credulity to say that the first time such an event happened was with a multi billion dollar mutual fund. In other words, I’m glad Unisuper’s problem was resolved, but there were probably many others which were small enough to ignore.

I can only hope this gives GCP the kick in the pants it needs.
I love freenet as we continue to see the growth of authoritative bodies attempt to control the Internet I think it will become more and more important.

The other thing I love about freenet is it feels exactly like using the Internet in the late 90's in almost every way. Same speeds, same simple pages, same crazy whackos spouting conspiracy theories about how JFK shot first, it really is a time capsule that I love.

I can believe it back then, when the big mac was either on the dollar menu or very close to value prices. I wouldn't believe it in 2024 where the sandwich alone is $5 + tax (disclaimer: high CoL area).

Big Mac is probably the worst burger because of that stupid middle bun, but it's not awful by itself to eat. 700 calories or so. It's the drink and soda that double that and really puts you over.
Woops sorry. No, "my baby"!

> Speaking from experience, I won't sugar coat it, you're not hire-able.

No sugar coating needed. That's why I'm asking this here, because I already had a hunch that was the case and figured if any group of people could have some experience with this situation it is the HN crowd.
Seems like a bit of confusion of purpose. Why would I not use the search engine that gives me the most useful search results, and then, unrelatedly, just donate to an organization like the World Wildlife Fund if I care about protecting biodiversity? It seems strange to link these things together.
