There will be no cars left. This needs to apply to TRUCKS. This is why you have so many trucks on the road now. One set of standards for trucks and one set of standards for cars is not working.
the reason they did this is because if they succeed in sneaking this out, MS would have been 'drinking the milkshake' of google, adobe, facebook and everyone else trying to do the same thing at an app level. it would be the holy grail of training data -- they could replace or simulate the entire user at an inter-app level for A/B testing anything they want, or worse. the idea of having full user behavior history of the majority of the worlds computer users is just too tempting not to try for them and im sure theyll try again despite any backlash.

"Focus" is a vague term; if it was supposed to encompass the sorts of scenario I wrote about, then I have provided some some specificity for third parties.

Furthermore, I feel you did not fully comprehend what I was trying to say here, which is that there are certain scenarios where, if you have partially lost this "focus", you can suddenly find yourself in a situation where an immediate response of the correct kind (and one which is sometimes profoundly counter-intuitive, as in spatial disorientation) is required. The transition may have taken some time (not necessarily "a heck of a lot longer", though), but when this has occurred without the pilot being aware of the developing situation, then in practice it is no different than the sort of road situations you are thinking of.

Note that this is not a claim that the cruise phase of a flight is just as prone to sudden surprises as any phase of driving; it is a explanation that equivalently startling scenarios, without any perceived transition period (and perception is what matters), can arise in the cruise phase of flight (and that's even if we exclude sudden equipment failure.)
traffic is just events so like
> No, just significantly less likely than the other going theories.

The likelihood of the explanation needs to be balanced with the unlikelihood of the two already unlikely events happening independently of each other.

When you're seeing statistically unlikely events, it's downright reasonable to examine whether the game is rigged somehow.

One whistleblower dropping dead is curious timing, but ultimately plausible; it's a stressful situation after all. Two of them drop dead? While it's not established beyond reasonable doubt based on the unlieky timing and strong motive alone, some sort of conspiracy to retaliate against the whistleblowers is definitely one of the less far fetched theories.

I often hear the argument in favor of event-driven architecture that you can work on one part of a system in isolation without having to consider the other parts, and then I get assigned some task which requires me to consider the entire system operation, now with events that are harder to trace than function calls would have been.

Now when people argue “because decoupling,” I hear, “You don’t get as much notification that you just broke a downstream system.”
Intrinsic expansion. Distances between objects in space grow.

That's what metric expansion of the universe is. Distances grow at speeds that are proportional to their distance from the observer.
This is better understood for Americans in terms like "Grouping of State governors submits plan".

The European Commission doesn't pass laws. It represents the heads of state of the EU nations, and it can propose legislation, but not pass it.

Only the Parliament can pass legislation, and the parliament is made up of (720, as of this year) MEPs from various national parties in EU states representing somewhat-large constituencies in their home states, in weird and wobbly international groupings. So it's a much tougher sell.

ETA: Governors isn't an ideal comparison -- commissioners are appointed representatives of the heads of state/heads of government, a bit like ambassadors, and they are supposed to think collectively like ministers of a European government. But it's sort of closer to the idea.

Essentially in my analogy, it's a bit like if all the state governments gathered some delegates who asked the Senate or House to write legislation, and provided them with an outline.

But my point is, the Commission planning something doesn't at all mean it's going to happen.

Humans outsource a lot to the microbiome. We have to add up all that too!
The reason for this is that chemical reaction rates are temperature dependent, and cold blooded animals need different systems of chemicals/proteins to keep them operating over significantly different temperatures.

I wonder to what degree the competitive advantage of being warm blooded consists of the smaller genome vs. more obvious advantages like ability to stay active in colder climates.

As embedding models become more performant and context windows increase, “ideal chunking” becomes less relevant.

Cost isn’t as important to us, so we use small chunks and then just pull in the page before and after. If you do this on 20+ matches (since you’re decomposing the query multiple times), you’re very likely finding the content.

Queries can get more expensive but you’re getting a corpus of “great answers” to test against as you refine your approach. Model costs are also plummeting which makes brute forcing it more and more viable.
Yes. This is why we should just tax gas rather than trying to micromanage individual products and inevitably creating tons of loopholes.

I don't know. The concept of junk DNA never made sense to me because, besides proteins, you need to know how to assemble everything and when.

The idea behind junk DNA was that the rest of it didn't code for proteins and therefore was junk.

But if I give you a list of parts for a Boeing 747 that's not enough information to build the jet.

I never understood how this was not obvious to scientists.

I still remember being taught the concept of junk DNA in high school, and didn't believe it then.
Maritime Southeast Asia was a lot more complex historically than most people realise. There were at least 5 different Indian dynasties that held extended trade links, the Chinese, some evidence of Romans or at least Roman trade goods (eg. in Cambodia/South Vietnam), regular seasonal trading to Australia, water dwelling peoples, stable ocean-going multi-hulled vessels, and even coins from East Africa that have been found in northern Australia. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-cultu...

In case the author is reading, some places that could be clarified:

> Scatter a bunch of points in a plane. Connect some of them with lines. That’s all a graph is.

This may mislead the uninitiated reader to think that the definition of a graph includes vertex locations in R^2.

> Over the years, mathematicians worked to reduce the number of edges Hamiltonian graphs had to have.

The article is about showing that certain graph properties guarantee the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle. But the logical structure of this sentence implies the converse: showing that the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle guarantees other properties. But all it guarantees is |E| >= |V|.
Not so sure about that. My implied scenario had an implied ice age, and the last one scoured the land clean to bedrock.

Sure, I suppose there'd be some evidence, but in millions of years everything would be fallen, dozens of ice ages would have happened, plants and animals would have grown over everything, and so on.

We've found structures thousands of years old, but not millions. We've found fossils that are quite old, but that doesn't tell use anything about the intellect, or true capabilities of the species.

Millions of years is a really, really long time.

It's hard for me to imagine a single bit of data about humans existing, still.

Maybe some datasets on the moon, wasn't someone going to send something there?
I see, thanks. In the video it looked like the motions were simply being passed through, and tremors were made less important by the scaling. However, again, they can mostly be damped by simple mechanical filters, same idea as shock absorbers on cars. I can see how a digital system could do a better job by adjusting itself adaptively during use.
Is it because they learn it from their trainers? Or is it an inherent quality?
Please, name these academic Unixes! I would love to go see what they do. Down-thread there's a mention of minix, which does the normal thing: demand paging, context switches only the page table directory pointer, and process memory images are moved around the storage hierarchy indirectly, through page faults. Which other academic Unix or Unix-like did you have in mind?

Linux is indeed not the owner of the concept of PID 0. It's fortunate that I didn't say that! It is, however, not frequently involved with paging in and out memory.
There’s a recent veritasium video on jumping spiders. Turns out some of them evolved red colour eyesight in multiple independent ways, one example involves replicating a green colour vision gene and then mutation, another one adding a filter on top of green colour receptors, forcing neurons to activate on red instead!

I aspire to it, but the degree to which I am successful I cannot know.

I have no problems with math, it is science that bothers me (the "models" part above).

In about fifteen minutes this story went from being 9th to 100th. There's no way it could have tripped the flamewar detector as there were only two comments when I wrote this, and the ranking fell so fast it could not possibly have been natural voting:

https://hnrankings.info/40619561/

For those who don't know: the mods have story kill/boost function which will either nerf the story into the ground or boost it well beyond. It adds in an invisible, sizable positive or negative score.

I see no legitimate reason for killing this submission. It wasn't a duplicate: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+... it's from a long-time, high-karma user, and it was a popular submission with users, climbing rapidly. The story comes from what looks like a legitimate SV-area news site.

Someone did it to this story about a DoS vulnerability in NPM that could have stayed with a minor correction to title (changing "javascript" to the more accurate "NPM", although NPM is the defacto package management system so it's debatable): https://hnrankings.info/40619344/

Same thing happened to a link to the blog for a university research group investigating tiktoc's ranking algorithms (the irony...): https://hnrankings.info/40619501/

Someone also did it with a negative story about Adobe's software sprouting a new paragraph in its term and conditions that changed a bunch of language around Adobe's rights to access/use user's works: https://hnrankings.info/40619329/

My guess is that the mod's excuse is that Adobe responded to Mashable stating it doesn't use people's works to train one specific ML system, but that's a snowjob - nothing changed except that now they've pinky-sworn that they won't do what the ToS says they can.

This function is clearly being abused and either it needs to be removed, or its use should require that the mod who does it has to enter a reason, and both the username of the mod and the reason are published at the top of the comments page and a marker on the submission list indicates either a score ner or boost by a mod.

It's also well past time to remove the flamewar suppressor. It's a sledgehammer that is easily abused; if a company wants to kill a story, all they have to do is get a bunch of accounts to start arguments. It's probably especially easy now that so many people are working remotely, spread out over a large area..

Ask HN: How do I identify the tech trends of 2026 and beyond?
The blockchain/crypto craze didn’t come out of nowhere in 2021 and generative AI craze didn’t pop up out of nowhere in 2023

Curious what indicators people suggest I look to if I wanted to identify future trends 2-3 years before they start to become popular.

Sure there is no way to identify what or when with certainty (VR & the metaverse are a great example of something that seemed like it was gonna be hugely impactful a few years ago and hasn’t materialized, yet at least ). But certainly there must be indicators.
Wait, how does Christianity makes sense if women have no souls?

> Christianity swung between the Augustinian view that women had souls only to have Aquinas take up Aristotle’s position that women were incapable of reason and therefore had no souls

> The question of women having Souls was only resolved for the Church in 1950 with the promulgation of “The Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven” and the Papal Bull (De munificentissimus Deus 1950) which accompanied the creation of a special feast to commemorate this event

I think my stance is pretty clear about "utilizing" AI in educational settings. We absolutely don't need AI the same way we need air to breathe. But AI could potentially provide some solutions (and create new problems or have adverse effects as well), so why not explore it properly to find out where it works and where it doesn't?

So you cant recall a good counter argument against HFT from the clueless because there are none?

How are my takes?

HFT is a client side approach of front running. You dont have to make your transaction before the others, you just have to make it before anyone else afterwards; be the first.

The "minimization of price spread" or consolidation of prices is what market capturing monopolies do.

The HFT can only operate with low latency access to the market. This latency is ultimately defined by physical proximity, which makes it mutually exclusive. When a faster HTF comes along, the former one might get pushed into unprofitability. This makes the HTFs position an exclusive privilege to skim value, which is why people call it rent seeking.

This show was aired in Brazil while I was growing up. Dubbed, as it was common in TV back then. IIRC, it aired in my state’s educational channel.

It was weird to see computers we didn’t have access to (most Brasilian ones were TRS, Sinclair, and Apple II compatibles. No PET and no PCs just yet. And no Xerox 820 either.
someone told me about vite. ill try that out next. I switched to astro for a blog after giving up with nextjs, and it works pretty well for a blog. not sure about a front end app though.
In many contexts, "the universe" means "the whole universe [to the best of our knowledge]". For example, when scientists talk about the age of the universe or the start of the universe or the ultimate fate of the universe, they really do mean the whole universe, not just the observable universe.

Hail, RDD, my favorite development style.
The FDA would not let this fly. To get a device in the hospital, you have to enumerate EVERY failure mode that you can reasonably protect against, as well as the ones you can't. Some of these failures are crucial enough that they qualify to be required to implement an alarm for.

There's a reason everyone is so loud in the hospital, it's because we have to be to be there in the first place.

Why do you consider simpler the use of the incomprehensible expression “through the looking glass”, as a looking glass is something you cannot see (view) through.

When I did game dev I often went for an even driven approach or messaging based systems combined with oop and state machines to prevent eventual consistency locally.
It works great in that domain, albeit not being the most performant solution.

In web or business systems it works well for some(!) parts. You just shouldn’t do everything that way - but often people get too exited about a solution and then they tend to overdo it and apply it everywhere, even when not appropriate.

Always chose the golden middle path and apply patterns where they fit well.
