"The" alternative is an interesting way to "think".

Psychedelics are a hell of a drug. So too is culture, and the conditioning of consciousness that comes with it. It starts the day you were born, and it never stops. This indoctrination is like the background noise of a city....you've never experienced it not being there, so you don't even notice it.
In the case of Intel, based on what I saw, they were just desperate/convinced to turn the x86 into a beachhead for mobile (but Flash will be the same!) but that ended up not making sense.

B. We'll give it data from online which is limited, temporal, and to the same degree as humans; incorrect.

C. Then we'll build an algorithm based on the generalized structure of the human brain, which, is regularly wrong.

D. We don't fully understand this and our responses are incorrect.

That article describes a variety of different kinds of infinities, in mathematics, physics, logic, and philosophy, so you haven't made any progress in explaining which one you're using.

Let me help you out, because I actually know what you mean when you say the number of people on Earth is "potentially infinite" even if you don't really know what you mean. You mean that that there's no upper bound. But, that can only be true under a set of unlikely conditions:

There is no upper bound to the existence of Earth.

There is no time in the future when Earth becomes uninhabitable.

Given that the most unassailable models in science make it practically certain the Sun won't exist as it does now within 10 billion years, your necessary conditions are unlikely.

Consequently, I rate your claim: False

I think it really depends on the reason why you were going around putting up wanted posters and asking people if they’d seen somebody. If it was a dangerous criminal, sure. An ex? Creepy. In general, I’d have some probing questions before being forthcoming, I like to think. Picture of my friend? Sure Mr. Private investigator, tell me what you want and give me your number, and I’ll let him know somebody wants to talk to him…

If there was, like, a club devoted to organizing the sort of informal observations of who was where and trying to track everybody the old fashioned way, I’d think everyone involved was a real creep there, too. Although, of course, this would be a bit impractical.

And the paparazzi weren’t some beloved people, and they mostly targeted public figures!

There’s something to be said for the inefficiency I guess. But, I think it is also to a large extent a proxy for the idea that normal people only went on the hunt for somebody for a good reason.
wgpu is not WebGPU. One is a Web specification, the other is a Rust library.

Back in the day I ran Bochs in all its 4 Bogomips glory on a university IP address and went to IRC channels where script kiddies were "trading root".

I let them go first, and watched through an instrumented terminal how they clumsily installed a rootkit, then inevitably refused to give anything in return and laughed calling me a noob.

Their laughter was short lived.

I had even spent quite a bit of effort kludging the kernel to report much higher specs than Bochs could deliver, but all that effort was wasted because no one knew how to check.

Are you saying that every function can only be called with a consistent set of types in the parameters? It’s not possible to call a function two times and supply parameters that have different fields on them?

Unless that is true, the end result might not be ideal. You could certainly record the information that is there at every line of code at runtime, and you could probably calculate the union of the parameter types to find only the fields that are always there, which would be fairly okay I guess.
I'm not sure why people are misunderstanding my question as "Why not bring more fuel and burn the rockets in reverse". I am simply asking: why not reenter the atmosphere at a shallower angle, spreading the atmospheric braking friction over a longer period of time, which I'd expect would allow more time for the accumulated heat to radiate away before it becomes catastrophic.

You mean that one legally gray company/organization that gets rid of squatters? Could hardly count as an "entire industry".

And yes, it is still uncommon. Or what would you call it? "Common"? Most places are legally rented.
Mm.

Similar with social media advertising profiles. I've seen what FB and Twitter thought of me, and it included interests in various spectator sports, which were wrong both as a general statement about my personality, and specifically those sports don't even have any societal significance outside the USA.

Also several languages that I don't speak.

And they showed me ads for both dick pills and breast surgery; and others for a lawyer who specialised in renouncing a citizenship I've never had (for tax purposes) when moving to a country that I left; and also an announcement by the government of a country I don't live in about a ban to a specific breed of dog I've never heard of, when I don't own any dog anyway and never have.

And people complain about LLMs making things up :P

The Mercator projection has the property that lines on it are of constant bearing. You don’t need a map projection to follow a line of constant bearing - you just need to head towards the point where the same star rises every night (mostly. Over a short enough number of nights, it works, anyway).

Hmm.

So, we have these in Baltimore, where I live. And, for the most part, Baltimoreans would not agree that the "police force is actually allowed to seriously, non-pretend-like enforce the speed limits and improve road safety".

The reason for this is that a large fraction of Baltimore drivers are not driving legally-registered vehicles with authentic tags, and another subset of the fraction that is installs devices to obfuscate their plates from the speed cameras.

This enforcement strategy does have the upside of being somewhat progressive, in that I assume speeding fines are disproportionately collected from the well-off residents most likely to opt into the (regressive) legal requirements of registration, insurance, etc, and thereby subsidize through their premiums the city's many uninsured low-income drivers.

The downside, of course, is that the illegal vehicles are already "in for a pound" and so generally attempt to drive like bats out of hell at all times it is plausibly physically possible (BPD is prohibited from pursuing for sensible safety reasons, but there's no effective system for later impounding the vehicle).

Data from our city department of transportation suggest that speed cameras on the highway have been effective at reducing crashes - apparently there a critical mass of law-abiding drivers slows everyone to reasonable speeds. On surface streets, they, and red-light cameras, seem less effective, with traffic calming really the only successful intervention.
What are the strongest arguments against this? I’m for the proposal but strong arguments against it

Well, you can donate to the project (there's a paypal link at the bottom of https://www.qemu.org/sponsors/ which donates to the Software Freedom Conservancy earmarking it as being for QEMU), *but* doing that won't cause somebody to be paid to work on the project (it can cover random project expenses like CI usage, I think). Mostly our sponsorship is either "in-kind" (access to compute hosts, hosting downloads, cloud compute credits etc) or else is sponsorship to help pay for the annual KVM Forum conference.

In general there is no mechanism for "pay money to have work happen" because pretty much all non-hobbyist QEMU developers are doing it because they're paid by some company (RedHat, Linaro, etc etc etc) to do that work as their full time job. So they're not in the market for random small side jobs.
It could be worse for some people in some cases, but it’s pretty clear which is going to be worse in general most of the time.
> Citation that a "significant fraction" of those who immigrated were facing certain death?

"A significant fraction of those people would be dead if they didn't immigrate." -- bryanlarsen, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40598367

> Also, implicit in your post seems to be an assertion that the moral responsibility for their deaths would fall on us

There is no such assertion. Any more logical fallacies up your sleeve before we move on?
Natural sources often contains "antidote" which could be as simple as shell, fiber or cellulose, something to limit your consumption. For example sugar cane is a wooden stick. You would have to chew it with your measly human teeth for hour to get the sugar out of it. But if it's processed into sugar powder, you don't need to chew. By processing you lost the "antidote" that would otherwise moderate your consumption. Xylitol is found in birch tree. Good luck eating birch tree.
Most of the time, I just use it to scrape original data from screenshots taken from research papers where the data is not provided as a table. I would say 7/8 of these figures are scatter plots from experimental measurements.
Poor, as I intended it, was meant to encompass many things. Working poor people have less money, but they also often have less free time because they have less money. If you have plenty of money you can shop around for jobs that fit your schedule better, or if your job allows for it take time off, or outsource some work you would have to do yourselves (housecleaning, maintenance, landscaping, child care when you're unavailable, cooking, etc). Additionally, if you're in a family, there's a higher chance that both parents will need to work full time, meaning there's less free time for all those things mentioned above, which if one parent worked part time or not at all could allow for a lot of those things to be done while one is working, leading to more free time in the evening for both.

Given that, who's more likely to look into free alternatives to apparently free services online? The middle-class person with a spouse that works part time and takes care of many of the chores and that pays for a handyman or contractor or repair man to fix appliances and household problems or the poor person that works full time, their spouse works full time, and when they're done working they're busy doing the chores that life requires because paying someone else is not feasible for them?

Time is money, and the working poor have neither.
Really it's 90% praying that they don't fuck up and confuse you with someone else. The nefarious part is there's no accountability if they're wrong.
It was like that on the earlier test launch with the flying concrete and several failed engines.
I'd be curious to know how it is different than Amethyst. Amethyst has gotten much more stable recently and I really enjoy using it. The text based config seems pretty nice at a first glance, but I'm not sure if it's worth switching.
Lame. Clearly, you made a claim because it seemed plausible to you, but you didn't bother to research it.

Refusing to pay for a place to live is simply theft and entitlement.

They expect people to build and maintain homes for them while doing nothing in return.

If you abolish property rights, your two options are state slavery or anarchy where the strong take whatever they can.

These misguided ideologies can only live parasitic ally on the fringe of a otherwise functional society. If they got their way, the society would be destroyed.
And where were these rebranded Sumo's? We only saw Sumo's this year for $4-5/lb nearly everywhere we looked. Were these rebranded things really Sumo's or did they just look like Sumo's.

I did see something that looked like a Sumo call a 'dekopon' citrus at major grocers on the east coast, but they were maybe $1/lb cheaper as best and not as good or large as one with a Sumo sticker. They were more tart and not as an intense flavor.

It's my understanding that the variety has existed for a long time in Japan and Sumo is just one specific branded citrus sub-variety from California.

Doesn’t really help if you’re going out to places and there’s nowhere to bring your bike into. E.g. a restaurant.
The second point is a bit moot as humans are allowed to analyze the full cube before the timer starts. E.g. in the Max Park video he already knows all of the moves he's going to perform before he starts the timer.

As for loading I think it'd be fun to see how fast the robot could perform the same start conditions. Mostly because of how many cubes would fly apart in testing :p.

I have used both extensively and I prefer AeroSpace.

Multi monitor support is the killer for me, but there are other small wins.

When you move a workspace in Yabai to a new monitor, it changes it's ID so you can't keep using keyboard shortcuts to access it (alt+2 breaks because it is no longer workspace 2, it becomes 11 or another number). I can move workspaces between monitors easily with alt+m and alt+shift+m.

The other feature is that windows snap instantly without any Mission Control animations. That is a big one that really irks me.

Those are the two features that I need most days and I find Yabai completely unusable because of the lack of workspace support

Just like weberer you seem to think that there is only one projection of earth into 2d map.

> I had a friend who bought a house that needed a lot of work. Before he could get started on the remodel, someone broke in to the empty house, changed the locks, and started occupying it.

Was this the person's primary residence that they were planning to live in? Or a property that they intended to flip or rent out? Makes a big difference in how the courts would see it.

> Even here on HN there are comments trying to downplay the issue by portraying the victims as mostly wealthy or landlords, which are presumably acceptable victims to people who like these kind of narratives.

I mean, if you can afford to purchase more than one property in order to gain financially from that second purchase, you are wealthy by most standards in this country.

Cyclists can never be at fault, they can only be faulted. It's always the responsibility of drivers, transit, pedestrians to watch out. If you are a cyclist, you have the divine right to scream obscenities at anyone who dares interrupt your path.

Although, if two cyclists collide in an intersection, that's the unstoppable force vs immovable object scenario of assigning blame.

Military vehicles can already drive at night without visible light. Except in the most extreme case (new moon and heavy cloud cover) - and then they can illuminate using infrared. Such a device costs <2,000 USD and is already wearable. More expensive and/or vehicle-mounted systems increase that capability to the point where you basically never even need the IR illumination, unless the vehicle is fighting inside a building (rare).

The technology in the article, aside from being heavily editorialized, will remain inferior to that for a long time. However, one possible application would be the use of higher-wavelength infrared for the active illumination, so that other militaries with night vision are unable to see your infrared headlights and then blow you up.
Knowing the earth is round doesn’t mean you automatically consider a geodesic the most logical kind of ‘straight line’.

Mercator exists because it’s easy to navigate with. It’s easy to navigate with because it preserves bearings. Lines of constant bearing are, when you’re navigating on the ground, much more meaningfully ‘straight’ than geodesics.

‘Keep heading North West’ sounds like a pretty straight line.
But a lot easier to get started and do simple things.

The "dedicated server" / "private cloud" market is a garbage fire of manual one-off hackery where you have to talk to a human in order to do relatively simple things that are a couple of clicks on even "2nd tier" VPS platforms. Want to increase the limit for the number of servers on your account? Call us. Want to add a new employee to your team? Call us.

Earlier this year, my team evaluated about 10 different providers, including PhoenixNAP, and only maybe 2-3 of them allowed us to (1) create an account, (2) add team members, and (3) deploy a server without manual intervention. And often these simple tasks required multiple rounds of manual debugging with the support team.

Noah seems to be adding his own fake facts by wildly misrepresenting the response by Zahn.

The response to the maternity deaths stats emphasises that the key factor is preventability.

A statistical change that reveals many more preventable deaths is important and needs a response, even if (possibly especially if) those preventable deaths were previously not captured by the statistics.

How did that become:

This isn't ad hominem:

> You continue to attempt to find excuses that it doesn't work when the evidence is clear it is manageable.

It directly addresses your arguments, suggesting they're not supported by evidence.

This is ad hominem:

> If one really had too much to do he or she would be better off not be posting on this site.
> Forbes estimates are notoriously inaccurate

Fair, I've heard the same from chatting with someone who shall not be named who got on a different list.

I can't remember if it was them or someone else who said that people lie about their wealth all the time for lists like these; the show-offs who want on them and pretend to have more, and the quiet ones who want off them and pretend to have less. (The person previously mentioned was one of the quiet ones).

Yes, and not only root of trusts, I am strong believer in open source firmware in general. I have been developing coreboot as a hobby for a long time. I wish their was more industry support for such things, especially at the lowest levels of modern systems.

It's always interesting to note editorialized headlines. People "fleeing" Instagram, or "scrambling", or covid "surging", etc. When they could just provide the data about how many users are leaving and let the data speak for itself.

Whether there's even any data behind this or if it's an article based on a handful of random tweets who knows, as it's a pay-walled article.

Making a must-have product doesn’t constitute being an anti-competitive monopolist. Coca Cola isn’t a monopolist because classic coke just tastes so good and yet they refuse to share the recipe with Pepsi Cola.

Anti-competitiveness is more leveraging the must-have nature of CUDA to shelter Nvidia from competition. E.G. an OEM can’t sell professional laptops that support CUDA if it sells AMD gaming laptops or something - just to illustrate. Or Coca Cola refusing to sell coke to a store that also sells Pepsi causing the store to not stock Pepsi.

Monopoly law isn’t meant to simply punish success and exclusivity.
