Jeez, at first I thought the name must have been shortened by a character limitation for the title.

This is not like twitter at all, if they want to officially shorten the name further someday, there is nowhere left to go.

Maybe it is a silent H and it could be downsized to a NUL or something unprintable like that if the trend holds.

>X can afford this

Musk overspent wildly, but he can afford to waste mega-millions.

With $200 Million, H can easily afford it now too.

Leaving many more millions to spare.

It would be interesting to see what they accomplish without changing the name further.

Of course it’s involved!

Hour 6 is also minute 30. There’s some arithmetic for you! Six times five, if you like, or six times ten divided by two if you prefer.

Many don’t have numbers at all, so you’ll need to build a good intuition for fractions and converting those to hours and minutes if you want to read them fast. Most of us do it so automatically we don’t notice, but some of that’s plausibly fraction multiplication.
It can't die because of that, but the reason we use things like reddit and discord and slack is because those are not open protocols -- they have monied interests behind getting people to use them

The idealism of the internet in the 80s and 90s never could survive past the growth phase.
A lot of CSS is about art and aesthetics. CSS work will never be "done". There will always be new stylesheets and "frameworks" as long as artists want to express themselves in the medium of the web.

My usual use case is to search HN comments. Problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to specify comments on the bang search itself, so you have to toggle the results page option, or click "search for comments" to get the 57 (at this writing) comment hits:

<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...>

I really wish the bang would default to comment search, as it's a much broader search target. Posts are limited to 80 characters, comments to rather more than that (there is a max comment length, and I've hit it, but it's fairly generous). So your odds of matching term(s) in a comment are higher than for posts.
> Borrowing isn't even a New Math idea.

Borrowing and base 8 weren't created by New Math. Teaching them to students, at least according to the song, was part of New Math. Lehrer specifically says this. In the intro he gives the way it was taught ("Now, remember how we used to do that…Three from two is nine, carry the one"), then he says "But in the new approach, as you know, the important thing is to understand what you’re doing rather than to get the right answer. Here’s how they do it now…", then he immediately shows the borrowing approach, which is followed by the chorus "Hooray for New Math!" After showing "how they do it now", he then goes on to show the same problem in base 8 for the second verse (followed by a repetition of the chorus, and then the song ends).

I get that you don't think the approaches are different, or that they're tied to New Math. Lehrer and his audience did, which is the entire point of the song.

Ask HN: Why do AI-related comments here often have an anti-AI tone?
It seems the HN-community thinks AI is, on the whole, a negative going forward.
Brother, how and why are you trolling around this thread 3 days after the link was posted?

In lieu of just matching snark with snark, I'll just suggest you take 5 minutes of self reflection to ask yourself if you're maybe being over-reductive of the situation, if you're really considering what reconciliation (+ it's risks) means to people who live in Israel/Palestine, and what a practical solution might actually look like.

I'll do the same. Have a nice day.
This happens in any pension system you design. If you invest your retirement savings in stocks, you're not magically wealthy: you're just finding another mechanism to have younger workers pay for older retirees. And if the stocks you buy are heavily invested in foreign countries with authoritarian governments and low birth rates, you're trading one problem for different ones.
There used to be SD cards with built-in WiFi which could sync photos automatically, but the main player in that space (Eye-Fi) went out of business and I don't think anyone else has stepped up to make a version of that which works with modern cloud services. Not enough demand now that smartphones have obliterated the consumer camera market, I guess.

Project idea: figure out a way to cram an ESP32 into an SD card.

There's also the allegations of sexual misconduct (https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/filmmake...)

It's unfortunate that on the day of his death all I can really think about is how troubled the man was, between dealing with alcoholism, cheating on his past wives / gfs, the sexual assault allegations, and resigning from his company because of just how negative his public image had become. He became something of a household name because of a misleading documentary that was arguably more about the dangers of alcoholism rather than fast food.

Strange processing the death of someone with such a mixed legacy.
No way. I send ChatGPT my Haskell code and the unreadable compiler error message, and it tells me what the error means in plain human terms or at least points me in the right direction.

Google and Stack Overflow are useless here, people have different situations than I do.

I find it's worse at providing working code (much less good code), but pretty good at telling me why my code doesn't compile, which is 80% of the work anyway!

How incredible is it that a single photograph of a single dog has had so much of an impact on culture?

I also have this weird feeling I can't quite describe. This dog had no way of knowing her likeness would be seen by billions of people in some way, shape, or form. She lived her entire life without knowing or even being able to comprehend how significant it was. I have no idea if doge memes will still be popular a decade from now, but when people look back at internet culture from this era they're going to see her image all over the place. Maybe they'll see the appeal too, or maybe they'll wonder how in the world we ever found this funny.
Many years ago go a girl who liked me gifted a 6 digit icq number.

Voice artists losing work to their AI clones fear for the future

I assumed it was already dead, just on a lark I went to sign in and it appears to require a phone number now, not my old number? so I guess it has not actually been "ICQ" in a while?

I have 25+ years leading test teams. I've always been the most technical person my team. I've written at 20 least custom test automation frameworks, in various languages, but my preference is Python or test code.

I was laid off in early 2023; 15 months looking for work. When I've been able to get an interview, if it leads to a tech screen, it's leetcode. It's never test code, or anything remotely about test theory or practice. If I get scheduled for an interview, I always proactively create a custom framework POC for the company's marketing site, to specifically show coding skills around testing; this is ~3 hours of work.

This never impresses them -- actual, working code in a github PR -- and the last two company interview rounds have been:
1. 70 minutes to solve 5 leet challenges (Python, Python, Javascript, Java, SQL)
2. 2 separate screenings, each with 1 leetcode challenge at 30 minutes
Very cool. Most of these Unix clones are usually written in C.
This one is written in a new programming language.
Yeah -- this is all that I meant
yes. thats it. everyones hiring process is flawed but yours.
I have the ICQ "Uh OH!" sound in rotation as a text message alert sound for work/support contacts.

It's pretty jarring, as y'all know, so it doesn't do to have as the default sound, but it it's great for important contacts that don't message much.

Honestly it's a bewildering choice for the default "message received" sound of an IM client. It's so very alarming. I can only guess that the makers were expecting you to be a room away from your tower PC (with its deluxe 18" CRT display and mouse cables that required a screwdriver) to make sure you never missed a message.

These days, when you're never more than a layer of fabric away from your IM, it's a bit much. But man, effective.
Good old times playing those games with strangers and exchanging pictures, then after ICQ we used Skype.

>why do so many people remember

The ~2million years we spent around campfires, repeating oral traditions of our forefathers, instilled a phonetic/rhythmic/mnemonic mechanism of action for remembering "arbitrary" information.

That is why recalling phone numbers, large (mentally untoken-able) words, and the digits of PI all are far easier when done in the sing-song fashion - it is utilizing the highly-optimized linguistic/recall portion, we evolved to handle the near-rote-memorization required to allow our culture to survive.

This is good sometimes, other times it risks losing the audience. Extra info works better when they're ready (i.e. asked for it). This is why it's such a difficult balancing act. You don't want to preemptively answer questions that people didn't realize they should ask yet.

Oof, fullscreen cookie popup without a clear 'no thanks', basically replaced the article for me. Unfortunate.
Sorry, but this is nonsense. You don't unlink a file in a filesystem and it magically reappears. Everyone who's ever had an issue of recovering deleted data would be happy to have had that option.

So that's clearly not something that has happened here.

Also when I assume that's what's going on, then the phone would make a low level block by block backup of the raw storage device. You really trying to tell me that's what's going on here? And on top of that, that easy recovery of unlinked files, randomly scattered across hundreds or thousands of blocks in the filesystem can just easily be "relinked" and just reappear out of thin air?

You got to have zero idea about how all of this works or are one of those corporate shills but this is just the biggest nonsense there is.
1. Can't they already do this (ie. favoring sites that have google issued certificates, or are hosted by google CDN) today? What does supporting multi-certificates have anything to do with it?

2. Google isn't a transit provider. Therefore they aren't really in a position to abuse their position to MITM traffic.

3. Google already controls the chrome browser itself. If they want your data they don't have to MITM you, they can just upload it after it's been decrypted by TLS

I know they mainly present results on deep learning/neural network training and optimization, but I wonder how easy it would be to use the same optimization framework for other classes of hard or large optimization problems. I was also curious about this when I saw posts about Extropic (https://www.extropic.ai/) stuff for the first time.

I tried looking into any public info on their website about APIs or software stack to see what's possible beyond NN stuff to model other optimization problems. It looks like that's not shared publicly yet.

There are certainly many NP-hard and large combinatorial or analytical optimization problems still out there that are worth being able to tackle with new technology. Personally, I care about problems in EDA and semiconductor design. Adiabatic quantum computing was one technology with the promise of solving optimization problems (and quantum computing is still playing out with only small-scale solutions at the moment). Hoping that these new "thermodynamic computing" startups also might provide some cool technology to explore these problems with.
In the US, at least, regulatory solutions happen when large commercial interests get behind them. Commercial agribusiness is extremely powerful, so the lack of regulatory clarity will presumably disappear the second that large businesses decide they need to deploy this tech.

The point is : for a little podcast to use some AI to make a couple of ephemeral jokes about real people should absolutely be allowed and might be one of the few moral use cases of AI. (see dudesy podcast humor like george carlin standup and tom brady standup)

But for a massive tech company, to fuck over an individual artist in such a blatantly disrespectful way is hugely different.
In what situation is having your judgment clouded by anger a good thing?

The closest I could come up with is it might make your body language more convincing. But it’s not hard to fake being angry.
My wife and I just had a whole conversation about it actually. Amusingly she was not one of the romantic relationships I maintained on ICQ because we were always with each other in person. But both of us had long lasting friendships on ICQ, some of which moved to other platforms, some of which did not.

And I'm still sad 10 minutes later about the relationships that faded when we switched platforms.
You are correct.

What I should have said (and couldn't find a way to put in a sentence) was that at some point in the Polish/Soviet war, Poland was fighting a successful offensive in the USSR, won the war, and made territorial gains.

I suppose I should have said, well, that.

I think combined with the endless profit incentive (aka calitalism) that we’re seeing a global enshitifaction across our knowledge systems.

When AI doesn’t know the answer it makes it up. Writing articles, books, policies, laws, reports are all boring and mundane and made faster with with generative tools like chat-gpt, but the quality of all of it is being degraded. Sometimes from the tools producing a near enough result over and over, but more so that this is pressuring out the knwokege workers that were or are producting quality work. It’s accelerating erosion of our social systems at a time when these systems are already under pressure.
Turns out that manufacturing toys, consumer electronics, semiconductors, etc. is very important for future wars that use cheap drones instead of $2,000 155mm artillery shells.

It's not clear that we predicted that shift, so it's a good reason to maintain some manufacturing capability in pretty much all areas, comparative advantage be damned.
The largest poisoning of the public since leaded gasoline. Why is it we learn of suppressed science so late in the game? The FDA has banned them in food packaging, the epa has classified them as toxic. 3M even paid a massive fine.

Interpretation has nothing to do with intelligence. Intelligence without context is often exactly what AI is.
Not posted because it's a technical deep dive, but because it might prompt an interesting discussion on society moving from deterministically-correct responses to probabilistically-correct ones.

Which seems like a distinction (a) the general public isn't aware of & (b) LLM product companies aren't clearly discussing/educating.

Especially as they get more embedded in products, and it becomes less clear when you are/aren't getting LLM responses.

Something that's right 99% of the time but convincingly suggests you make spicy spaghetti with gasoline 1% of the time is fundamentally unlike what came before.
Does excel have gpu accelerated calculations, seems an obvious thing to add if not?
Gliese 12B, a temperate Earth-sized planet at 12 parsecs discovered
January -- The item for January is ‘0’ = 0

February, March -- The item ... for February or March (the 3rd month), ‘3’ = 3

December -- The item ... for December (the 12th month), ’12.’

So these all use fixed values.

The `(10-place)+days mod 7` logic works for May, July, September, and November using the previous month's values -- effectively every other month. The vowel trick is likely a nmemonic for not having to remember which months to do this for.

The other months are the previous month's `item+days mod 7`, although it is unclear where this interpretation is deduced. -- The "If it begins or ends with a vowel, subtract the number, denoting its place in the year, from 10." text does not apply, so I would have assumed that is was 0 not the calculated item value. Thus, I would have expected it to just use the days in month.
Many of us seem to have ended up at that documentation page out of exasperation, as we couldn't find video examples on the main page.

It appears that portrait vs landscape on their main page, on mobile at least, conceals that promo video (which does appear to show realtime footage).

If you happen to visit in the wrong orientation (or whatever other variables hide the video) and see claims of speed, but conspicuously absent proof, and then discover quietly sped-up videos buried in the docs, it all starts to feel scammy.

Given e-ink has a history of all kinds of shenanigans, and given I believe this company launched then unlaunched this product a few weeks ago (setting videos to private), it's not surprising some of us are on a hair-trigger.

Anyway, having seen decent enough video now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If this is for real, it will be of huge benefit to many who struggle with artificial light sensitivity, and I'm sure they'll do well.
