The image displays Barcelona with 26°C and 2°C.

I've been to Barcelona a couple of times and it's hard to imagine a day where you hit both temperatures?

Is the weather data in any way reliable? Or is it all just hallucinated stuff and I should just enjoy the animations? It could also be that I know Barcelona weather less then I thought and it's possible to hit 26 high and 2 low?
What? Why not? Many many websites have white backgrounds

Because an unfitting way to die is to be stuffed with tubes, half conscious in a bed, shitting your pants uncontrollably. The perspective of dying lying helpless in a hospital or care house is not very appealing to people who had an active life.
"They just didn't care enough" is an argument which can explain everything about how 1 person operates, half of a 10 person group, and roughly 0% of an entire profession. It's a question of the economic incentives at play far more than doctors universally deciding not to give a shit.

The economic recommendation is to deregulate the medical personnel industry and allow supply to increase. A great many smart and good people would love to become doctors but aren't in love with 5 years of residency and taking a quarter million dollars in debt to make less than their dropout cousin does at Netflix.
A startup can have the best tech and talent in the world, be solving important problems, and it will still probably fail.

That would be an extremely bad summary, because both diets that were tested were 9000 calories/week. It's the entire point of the study, and it seems that nobody commenting here even bothered to skim it before "ackshuallying" it.

Most people die painful and slow deaths in a bed surrounded by people they don’t know, or most likely entirely alone. Almost nobody dies peacefully in their sleep, it’s usually some horrible disease or failing bodily function.

If you’re going to die a “fitting” way, it’s going to be because you took your life passion to the extreme.
He went out on his own terms subject to the rules of the way he lived. No excuses. It may not have been his intent to die but he was willing to take the risk. That is the price of true agency.

Honestly, I haven't read more than a couple sentences of these obsessive rants in 3 comments, just enough to check what you've learned about the UN so far.

This isn't behavior I expect to see on HN, and after reviewing the thread, it looks like its a consistent issue, across multiple threads: you ask questions addressed long ago, claim people aren't answering them, then go rabid with page after page telling us the answer. Thanks for your insightful contributions.
My dad and I both have Davis Vantage Pro 2s.

https://www.davisinstruments.com/pages/vantage-pro2

His has been working for 20 years now with no problems. There are cheaper ones no doubt, but the ability to add senors like a UV and solar wattage are nice. They also have sensors for soil moisture, and leaf transpiration, but it doesn't rain enough in norcal for those.

At some point, Davis changed the data logger, so I had to buy some USB adapter from some guy in Australia to unlock it, but it works fine. I don't remember the guy's name, or if it's still needed.

I use weewx and a raspberry pi to log everything. Integrated my PurpleAir into weewx and calculate AQIs as well.

A reasonable first step would be to disallow targeted advertising (because it is the reason so much data is being collected).

I am not a big fan of advertising because its purpose is to manipulate thoughts. But I also like the idea of having a less formal form of paying for services. So, having ad-driven businesses should be okay as long as the thought manipulation machines have limits.

However, modern ad targeting has become so sophisticated and powerful that it creates problems on a global level (remember Cambridge Analytica). All the big ad companies have to play the targeting game because the others will eat their lunch if they don't.

If we want to protect users from ad companies' total exploitation, we need regulation. And if the rules change for all the players equally, it should stay a fair game.
Instead of relying on secrets that can be leaked, you should be using asymmetric cryptography.

I really appreciate a “here’s how I did this” that also includes hints on how to avoid bikeshedding and essentially getting scared out of doing the thing.

In my experience being daunted ans not knowing where to start is a large part of the difficulty in doing difficult things.

> IMO, the OC is incorrect. First-class functions exist in many languages.

Note that I did say "Some of the more modern languages have that facility, but it's rarely as elegant as it is in Lisps."

Example: JavaScript is sometimes claimed to have first-class functions. It kinda does, but you can't redefine (e.g.) the "+" function as you can in Lisps. So it's basically half-assed. C has function pointers, which again is (sort of) like first-class functions, but also don't let you redefine "+" (they're also incredibly ugly to use). C++ has operator overloading, so you can (again, sort of) redefine "+", but unless things have changed since the last time I used it (which has admittedly been a long time, though not long enough), I believe that's only available at compile time, not run time.

And of course even in (e.g.) JavaScript when you redefine a function it doesn't automatically get compiled, as it does in many Lisps (maybe the JIT will eventually get around to it, maybe it won't).

And so on.

(I'm using "function" here as a shorthand for "function or procedure" because I don't want to type that a half-dozen times).
> if two individuals can interbreed and produce fertile off[spring], then aren't they, by definition, the same species?

No. For example, that would make it impossible to determine the species of fossils.

For another example, wolves are considered a different species from dogs, and coyotes are considered separate from each.

For a third example, bacteria don't interbreed at all, but we don't consider each of them to be their own species.

The definition you allude to is technically known as the "biological species concept", which should be a hint that it's not viewed as definitive.
Another thing that is absolutely new is the vast number of people using this data for things other than ads/marketing. The data on registration cards was never used to decide if you get a job or not, or how much you pay for a hotel room vs the next person, or how long you wait on hold when you call a customer service line, or how much your insurance rates go up, or whether or not you're a suspect in a criminal investigation, or if you get custody of your child in a divorce proceeding. The amount of things our data ends up being used for is on a scale that simply was not possible when people started filling out product registration forms.
Well, I think I understand LeCun has a broader critique that any sort of generated-in-a-vacuum text which doesn't interact with meatspace is fundamentally going to be prone toward divergence. Which, I might agree with, but is also, just, like, his opinion, man. Or put less colloquially, that's a philosophical stance sitting next to the math argument for divergence.

I do think this setup can answer (much of) the math argument.

Why is it so difficult to write a short description what the project does? With too many open source projects people, who are not familiar with it, have to play detective to figure out what it actually is doing. "Wait a package manager based on numphy? That doesn't make any sense. Oh they mention LLM? So it must have something to do with AI"
Sounds like this would massively simplify converting scientific articles back to HTML or text.

Seriously, I know of one experiment that has O(thousands) of papers as latex source, which they publish as PDFs and which (more recently) they convert back to markdown with some ML-based image to text engine. All so that it can be fed to a vector database to make searching easier, of course.

PDFs are a terrible format for machine readable information (and thus for reproducible science), but they are the currency of the scientific community and as such will be the standard output for the foreseeable future.
I wonder if the machines will be more impressed by elegant, efficient, bug-free code

Am I the only one who thinks we need less short-lived tools written in memory-safe languages an more system infrastructure written in said languages?

Don't take me wrong, I like when someone creates a better version of something existing. For example, ripgrep is fantastic. But seeing the recent trend of rewriting whatever in Rust just because, I can't help wondering why I should bother whether bc leaks or not...

> One observation I've made is that any story I first see by advertising is probably bad, even if I later see it elsewhere - if it were actually any good, I would've seen it in one of the non-advertising-based mechanisms first

A similar observation I've been finding lately is that if something is highly rated by critics and lowly rated by audiences, it probably sucks

I think the current batch of book/movie/game critics out there writing reviews are largely out of touch with what many people enjoy. They don't write useful reviews for consumers anymore

There's always accusations of review bombing being the culprit of such skewed scores, but even after sites claim they've culled all of the bad faith reviews, the ratio almost always still exists

Big Weather does provide the data for "free" to the weather widgets on millions of phones and computers.

Pushing the supply curve out to the right generally increases quantity supplied and decreases price. From that everything else is trivial.
An absolute legend going out like a total badass. I know people will disagree but there is much to be said for living your life on your own terms and accepting the potential consequences without reservation. He was clearly one of those guys.

Even if they kept that promise and they never uploaded the data off our devices, someone else (a hacker, a cop, a stalker, a lawyer, a thief, an abuser) will. Their promise is that everything you ever do on your device will be stored anywhere and can be used against you at any time. It turns out that not many people actually want that.
There are laws against rape. Someone prosecuted and punished for rape has nothing directly to do with them being male or a sadist.

Being married is a hard prerequisite for being able to commit marital rape. You don't have to be gay to have gay sex that the authorities learn about.
Fun fact, the Bible doesn't actually call either a sin. The closest match is when Pharisees spoke against the fact that Jesus was doing them both, but they lacked sources.

Now, "temperance" (= "moderation") and "sobriety" (= "seriousness") are commands, but those are both orthogonal to alcohol consumption. Gluttony is likely related though, depending on definition.

Sects generally form (and mutate) in one of three ways:

1. We're facing some real problem, so I should invent something to fix it.

2. There's something I want to do that current traditions disallow, so I'll make my own traditions with blackjack and hookers.

3. I should be the one in charge.

#1 is a good fit here - the problems of excessive alcohol consumption (and human inability to stop after just a little) are well-attested through the ages, even before automobiles expanded the ability to kill others.
I still remember being jealous of the kid at computer camp with the two SLI Voodoo 2s playing Unreal.
No.

That's just... such a marginal thing. It's like complaining your supercomputer melted because the CPU got 0.1C too hot. Like - it's technically possible, but if it's that close you were already way way way past safe and sane margins.
Bizarre but I guess predictable you need something like physical therapy for your hearing

I don't understand why the quality of the specific weather station does not matter. Isn't bad data impacting the overall model quality?
Adobe figures that if MS can get away with it why can't they? Companies will just keep chipping away at our privacy every chance that they get because our data is extraordinarily valuable and we can't stay hypervigilant and outraged forever. Eventually, they'll get what they want, and then they'll push a little more.
realistically, it's like a classification problem

I'm pretty sure this was a typo, so s/radar/weather/ .

For reference, a weather radar operates in Doppler mode with return signal coming from Rayleigh scattering of raindrops, so it's on the 3cm - 10cm wavelength. You are talking about something like a 5 meter diameter antenna dish that weighs half a tonne, which is on an elevation-azimuth motorized mount, in a 7 meter diameter radome, with peak transmit power of 250 000 W.

Of course you can buy one yourself, if you have the space, electrical power and money for it - ballpark 1.5 mill. USD.
I used to own S4 phone and it's one of the best smartphone ever. Actually even as the owner never knew that it has thermometer and humidity sensors built-in ten years ago that even most of the USD1K+ phones nowadays do not have these very useful sensors [1].

Does anybody want a tool to turn raw data (web-scraped or anything) into JSON?
I am currently evaluating whether to launch a simple yet effective tool that converts your data into a well-structured JSON. If there is a need for this type of tool, I can develop it.

Let me know your thoughts about it :)

What You May Not Know About Galaxy S4 Innovative Technology (2013)
This whole tech is mostly to solve problem of die defects. When die size increases, output decreases very much. One (really frequently used) solution, to make design from few separate chips on one physical die and then disable part of die with jumpers (and reconfigure working parts with jumpers).

For example, many DDR-3 chips have 6 chips on one die, but only 2..4 enabled after finish testing.

But if one could cheaply construct 2.5D, placing tested chiplets on silicon imposer, this create whole new fabrication opportunities.

For example, in newest Intel chips, could be one high-performance core (i7) + few Atom cores + HBM high-speed DRAM and even some high power current switch or analog die.

Looks like, in nearest decade we will see single chip smartphones, etc.

At this point browser cache is known to everyone, and many people do clear it regularly. Browsers save passwords and form data but as far as I know they don't upload that data to Google. Still, chrome is very popular and it sends google people's browsing history and all their DNS traffic.
There certainly are review-bombing campaigns, which can be known with certainty when caught at the same time and from the same source as review-boosting campaigns.

Most bad reviews are well-deserved, even if they make the author feel bad. In particular, "people shouldn't downvote if they've only read 5 chapters" is an invalid complaint - as an author, your duty is to write a strong start! (I suspect some of these are actually tagging/description failures, but that's also the author's responsibility)

Is it even a nitpick in this case? It would have been substantially more badass to die flying a jet at 90. If it's relevant to the point I don't see how it's a nitpick.

I worked on a project to analyze endoscope videos to find diseases. I examined a lot of images and videos annotated with symptoms of various diseases labeled by assistants and doctors. Most of them are really obvious, but others are almost impossible to detect. In rare cases, despite my best efforts, I couldn't see any difference between the spot labeled as a symptom of cancer and the surrounding area. There's no a-ha moment, like finding an insect mimicking its environment. No matter how many times I tried, I just couldn't see any difference.
> From what I've read, in the 1960's, the average plate size was 75% of what it is today. Most people don't measure the amount of food they put in a plate. They eyeball how "full" the plate appears. Increase the plate size, and you increase your food consumption.

Don't forget parents making their kids eat everything on their plate so they don't waste food. It was so normal and common in the 90s (and maybe earlier) it became a stereotype.
I’m honestly not surprised they came up with this considering MS’ track record on security since the internet exists.

One more reason to resist their extend embrace extinguish strategy and not use their tools (vs code etc), this won’t end well and Microsoft will always be Microsoft.
