The emissions and efficiency difference between 55, 60, 65, and 70mph are significant and cannot be understated. It makes such a real difference for air quality that TEXAS (the state that hates regulation and built the monstrosity called the Katy freeway) has a reduced speed limit in some metro areas for air quality reasons.

In fact, the reason most national highways have a speedlimit of 50mph, even out in the boonies in Kansas where everything is flat and straight, is because of the fuel crisis of the 70s.

When I was a child, I was curious why highways were 50mph but the interstates had a speedlimit of 65-70mph, so I went and found out instead of assuming it was a disingenous revenue grab.

Most interstates were generally built after the fuel crisis, and they modified the national speed limit in 1988, setting the speed to 65mph, again for efficiency reasons. It was repealed in 1995. Perhaps 65mph is what was considered safe for the road and vehicular technology at the time, and no one has had the political or municipal capital to do a new study ever since.

You want that speed limit changed, contact your reps, I guess.
It does not.

Oddly enough, it doesn't even allow it in unsafe code, not with a normal cast. You have to use transmute. I believe this is due to concerns about targets where function and data pointers have different representations.

Now you have a group (or multiple groups) of people that will use violence to prevent people from doing the things that they feel are wrong. Probably they'll decide on what those things that are worth using violence to prevent are, and probably they'll write them down so that everyone is on the same page. If they don't do that, then they are using violence for arbitrary and undefined reasons, which most people don't want. I think I see where this is going...

What is the vision for this scenario that doesn't just turn into new groups taking power and enforcing their rules?
This reminds me of a twitter thread I read a few years ago making this prediction:

The displacement is only a bad thing if there are no interactions between the native ecology and the new one.

If there are interactions, then the ecologies start merging and adapting. The native species can still thrive because there is participation among both old and new.
This is a great idea. We’ve used Storybook & Chromatic in the past to cook up something similar for our front-end apps. There was quite a bit of setup work involved though.

How does integrating this into a web app work? Do you hook into an existing test suite? Record sessions on staging?
I think it also requires something that limits competition. Because if their margins are too high, some competitor should be able to come in and deal with that. That's one of the underlying principles of capitalism.
Antitrust does not require consumer harm, that is just the philosophy by which previous administrations have operated. That is changing rapidly.
The nation that systematically interferes to the maximum possible extent in other nation's internal affairs, including elections is the United States of America. Tens of billions of dollars are spent on propaganda, misinformation, sponsorship of civil disturbances, activist NGO's, paid-coups of elected leaders whose elections were EU observer verified, etc.

The U.S. has grandmastery level of expertise in this space. No other nation comes remotely close. ex CIA directors have even admitted this openly on TV - "election interference" for the "greater good" - to thunderous applause!

Russian efforts to interfere were small, laughable peanuts that the American experts pitied. Read the assessments written in 2023, when Anti Trump hysteria had lowered.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2023/1/20/23559214/r...

Other nations just grit their teeth and put up with the extraordinary American interference in their internal affairs - because what can they even do ? The U.S. is the Divine Icon of Sanctimonious Hypocrisy. Complain too hard and you will be openly threatened with sanctions. (Look at what is happening with Georgia nowadays)
> Will this mean your smart home will have unstoppable connectivity you can't turn off?

No. Thread is a mesh networking protocol for smart home devices. A light switch, window sensor and a dehumidifier can be linked together. The light switch and the dehumidifier could be far enough apart where there would be connectivity issue; using thread, they can talk to each other via the window sensor.

I believe they're using the IPv6 non-routable address space. The way to remotely access these devices is through a border router, like a HomePod or an Apple TV. And because it's an open standard, all of the big guys—Apple, Google, Samsung and others—have come together on this standard, making it easier to mix and match smart home devices that previously only worked in Apple's or Google's or whoever's proprietary ecosystems.
This is an easy asnwer.

With banking, structuring laws mean banks need to report any transaction over $10,000.

So if I need to send you $100,000 and s split it up into 11 payments so each payment comes under the $10,000 reporting limit that breaks the law because my payment was for $100,000 but i structured it to get around the $10,000 reporting limit.

If Microsoft approaches anit trust limits if it owns more than 50% of a company and buys 49% then no strucuturing took place as they only bought 49%. Now if they bough 10% in each of 6 different shell companies that they own such that they'd control 60% of hte company, then this is illegal as it works around the limits.

But owning up to the limit is perfectly fine as it doesn't in anyway break the law or work around it. That's the very reason for having a limit, to say you can go up to this limit, but not over.

I'm guessing you don't deal in finance at all as we deal with this all the time. You'll see funds owning up to 9.9% of companies to avoid the 10% reporting threshold. Again, nothing illegal here as the government has said they are perfectly fine with funds owning up to <10% of a company.
This one hits particularly hard for me as my early career at Sun involved so much networking. While Van Jacobsen got a lot of coverage for his work on TCP/IP Mike was the guy that was doing the work of getting all integrated and running.

Sigh.
Honest question, just curious what's your definition of "different arch", is a model with GQA=8 different than one with GQA=16 in your mind? I guess no?

How about GQA vs MHA, or GQA vs MLA?

If anything attention-like is same in your mind, is S5 and RWKV different arch given that both are some kind of linear RNN?

Antitrust law absolutely does not require consumer harm. Consumer harm came about after Robert Bork wrote his book and convinced SCOTUS that his interpretation of antitrust was correct. In fact, before Robert Bork, Courts tended to view competition as more important consumer harm.

Lack of consumer harm requirement is starting a comeback because it's during monopolization effort, consumers actually benefit from low prices. Once monopoly cements itself, prices tend to skyrocket and quality go down because factors make it very difficult for competitors to emerge.
It's more like Zigbee, as the whole ZCL got pulled in.

I believe cutting every day is counter-productive because it causes it to spread. I’m in Massachusetts. The strategy we’re using is cutting once in early summer. Then we let it grow (completely undisturbed) until right after it flowers in early fall. At that point we cut and inject concentrated glyphosate into the stumps. The idea is to inject the herbicide right as the plant is drawing stuff back into its root system for the winter.

I had a similar thought when looking at the Pricing FAQ section "Where is the differentiation between non-commercial and commercial systems?", which lists among other things Proxmox VE, which itself is open source and anybody is free to use it for free without commercial support. Lots of people use it for homelab-type things, or in academic or test environments.

Would you consider detecting whether each PVE instance the user connects to is a licensed / subscription-supported instance, and allowing non-licensed XPipe to connect to non-licensed PVE instances? There is an API for it already, see the 'level' field in https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/clus... .
haha hadn't thought about that, although the Roman Roads could be considered to be a safe highways as opposed to the dangerous paths in Germania.

To some, the headline might seem strange until the potential doublespeak (or newspeak) gets translated to plain language. Below is a little translation for your consideration, but first the explanation:

1. The term "misinformation" has been used a lot as a shallow stand-in for the phrase "information that the status quo establishment has a vested interest in masses of people not truly understanding". So, let's simplify and replace "misinformation" with "correct information" (even if only to consider this position temporarily).

2. The term "democracy" has been used often when a more correct phrase might be "worldwide communitarianism". Similarly, not everyone will agree, but it is possible to try this on for size.

Applying these substitutions yields the headline below, for people who want to know what is actually being said (or, rather, how some people might either intend or read these words):

"Correct information poses a bigger threat to worldwide communitarianism than you might think."

Another way to see the same phenomenon would be just to put the doublespeak terms in scare quotes, but people don't like that (and I don't blame them, due to the ambiguity and the extra work interpreting it):

"Misinformation" poses a bigger threat to "democracy" than you might think.

Anyway, the actual topic of actual misinformation is a really decent topic to understand and consider, whether one does or does not do the doublespeak-translation, and also whether one is for or against any particular viewpoint. On that ground, the article is super relevant to many.
The GDPR has many more articles. The decision https://www.rechtbanken-tribunaux.be/sites/default/files/med... cites Article 22 https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/ concerning automated decision-making, which grants "the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision." It also cites Article 13 https://gdpr-info.eu/art-13-gdpr/ and 14 https://gdpr-info.eu/art-14-gdpr/ concerning the right to information.

AFAICT (my Dutch is not the best) Meta did not properly inform the plaintiff about the shadowban and didn't properly give him the opportunity to contest the decision.

>I'm pretty sure they're talking about real property. Land and improvements. Not the strong taking away everything you have.

An individual has to be very careful not to create any real property value or improvements, otherwise it will be taken from you.

Conceptually there are lots of solutions to managing this problem. Historically, they rely on a state institution that goes around stripping people of what they create, forcing people to create things they don't own.

Communism almost always devolves into totalitarianism for this reason.
"By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical."

Wow! You weren't kidding. People in my field often joke that papers in biology, health etc. tend to list every person they met on the day of submission as authors. But this one has 450 authors from 132 institutions. Surely this points to some sort of breakdown in the attribution system.
Monopolies aren't illegal. Only abusing a monopoly is illegal. Nvidia has 95% market share. It's probably a monopoly.

But the trillion dollar question is whether they are abusing that monopoly: which are behaviors like tying, price discrimination, exclusive dealing, etc.
Nvidia has a de facto monopoly on AI hardware and software. The gross margins are clear telltale sign. The real question is are they doing anything anti competitive to unjustly create/maintain their monopoly which on the surface there does not seem to be any evidence of.

Indeed.

Why does the Post even need to make a profit?

I now don't know why I had once hoped that Jeff Bezos would be good patron of the Post. That he didn't squash the stories about Amazon and himself was a really positive signal.

That kind of noblesse oblige was probably MacKenzie Scott's doing.

For future, I'm hoping ProPublica's model becomes the norm. eg They just announced an ambitious plan with their 50 state strategy.
The reality is that the same thing, in effect, happens if you stop paying property taxes. The tax builds up and then when the house is sold after passing the government collects the tax before the descendants receive the sale proceeds.

This is why complaining about rising property taxes is almost never about the elderly people who actually live in the house. It's about their children that want to inherit the house without paying off their parents' property taxes.

I've never "studied" "paddle dynamics" in these games, and when implementing pong, always just reflected, which doesn't provide good game play, but pong is always a "I'm trying out a different framework" type exercise.

Pong using where it hits to affect the angle never totally made sense to me. I assume the explanation is "the paddle is drawn as a rectangle, but is actually parabolic." Additionally, I've always wondered why I've never seen a pong where the paddles have acceleration to some maximum velocity, and if the paddle is not stationary, you get lateral spin, causing non-linear ball paths on the return hit.
It's ultimately a question of what I prefer vs what I expect to happen.

I would prefer that companies providing utility would be rewarded. I expect , however, that companies enabling administrative control (via AI , software, monopolization, surveilance, market capture) will actually be rewarded.

So in a better world Walmart should be a higher value, since they are feeding and supplying the entire country with food, tools, consumer goods, luxuries, furniture, etc.

But in reality Nvidia will be rewarded for enabling more administrative control.
I’m noticing an uptick in HN trolling from newly created accounts.
The article is long (but interesting!) and a lot of it isn't about the particular scientific discovery in the headline.

Here's the part that describes the discovery:

> The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears – which now appear as ‘Left Ear’ and ‘Right Ear’ which begin sides A and B on the album – and in doing so opened up questions about the nature of tinnitus itself. “The NHS definition is that it’s a phantom sound that your brain is creating, that it isn’t something ‘real’, so you should try to ignore it.” By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical. More intriguingly still, the two women whose ears were recorded, De La Mata and Lana Norris – the musicologist whose voice appears on the album’s ‘PINK Noise’, and who is also a choral director – were the only two people whose ears were found to produce spontaneous otoacoustic emissions. “It’s something to do with hormone difference, but they don’t really know why,” De La Mata says. Present in most children but believed to fade over time, they’re also found far more in musicians than in other adults, for reasons yet unknown. It all raises a lot of questions. “What I have is tinnitus by the definition we have now, but maybe that’s not correct. Maybe it’s something else,” De La Mata wonders aloud.

Is there an academic followup to this? I would imagine that this is a pretty major anatomical/medical discovery and that the discoverers would want to write a paper about it.
I assume mRNA vaccines.

I still don't understand why you're trying to shoehorn this into a narrative about being poor. To me it just comes across as a dismissal of the overall concern.

Sure, all of those dynamics may be slightly harsher if you're financially poor. But it's not like once someone reaches "not poor", time for self-actualization abounds. And from the other perspective, it's not like libre software is not taking off merely because the lack of adoption by poorer people. So what is your actual point from tying the topics together?
I’m not sure where this arrogant attitude comes from. But please keep that condescending tone out of this community.
