> I won’t lay this on too thick, but keeping your hands entirely on the keyboard allows for a fluency that is unmatched when you’ve sometimes got to reach for a mouse instead. And there’s additional trust I can place in Emacs knowing that it’s always a matter of finding the way to do something with the keyboard, rather than wondering if it’s possible at all.

Here we go again. From https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/30682/are-there-any-r... :

> We've done a cool $50 million of R & D on the Apple Human Interface. We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts: — Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing. - The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding.

> Previous research comparing methods of issuing commands found that selecting a toolbar item is faster than selecting an item from two menus with either a mouse or keyboard shortcut. Over the course of 90 trials, however, the keyboard method showed the most improvement, nearing the toolbar response time.

> In contrast, a more recent study [10] suggests that more complex key sequences do not have such a clear advantage over toolbar selection.

TL;DR: Keyboard shortcuts are faster for some actions some of the time, but using the mouse vs keyboard is mostly preference
VTOL is a big overhead for a plane to carry.

They could consider 2-stage launch/landing?

A booster drone lifts the operational drone to flight height and speed, releases it, and then immediately returns. And then either the same, or a dedicated landing drone, catches the aircraft and lands it.

Kind of a virtual runway.
It already exists in Waymo. It obviously has a limited ODD but it absolutely works and easily passes “closely resembling FSD” for most real use cases (I.e. getting to work, school, and the store and back)
Thank you for saying this!

VLC is free open source software! It is made by people like you and me, and anyone can contribute. In the spirit of freedom and openness, you can give your code, time, resources, and help fund the development and distribution of the project.

I’m doing my part!
No design fleshed out at this point but algorithms like mixnet and dining cryptographers should be implementable on Freenet's primitives (if not we'll improve the primitives).
> Elon Musk decided on his own to

It's funny though because before Elon CEOs were hated just as much. Mostly because they are all bucketed together as too rich, too much control and not being as open in communication on decisions.

Now a new CEO disrupts (part of) that , and everyone hates him even more. Mostly because they just disagree with his comments.

It's very strange tbh. Should we be encouraging the transparency in CEO outspokenness regardless if you agree or not?
If you use `alias ls=elles`, scripts should be unaffected as aliases are ignored in non-interactive shells.

There is even more than that.

The west (admittedly this not only a flaw of the west) tends to think its cultural norms, identities and values are human universals.

There is also a tendency to think that the golden age of peace and prosperity the west enjoyed after the end of the cold war is the rather than the exception - it even lead to silly ideas like "the end of history".
And waymo got there, in limited conditions

At least I'm not (second place currently), I'm using a single threaded rust program that chatgpt wrote for me. I'm getting 10-15 million hashes per second.

But seletskiy is, as you can see in his nonce which tells us that he uses an RTX4090 and has 18 Giga Hashes per second. I'm really curious how he wrote that program, as I have a Rx 7900 XTX and would love to use it for this competition haha
You do have a legal obligation for anything financial where KYC laws apply, and I wouldn’t try that with airline tickets, either. You might also have issues around breach of contract if you’re lying about something which might have affected their willingness to allow service – this is likely not to go beyond cancelling your account but you should think about the magnitude. Nobody’s going to care about your grocery store loyalty program, but if there’s money or copyrighted material involved you might want to weigh your willingness to be a legal test case.
If all the US wanted to do was to "stop depending on their products", why would they seek to prevent US and foreign companies (if they're using US technology) from selling to huawei? That seems to go far beyond "stop depending on their products".
I want to share our journey of building a self-healing framework for Kubernetes at scale. We share our experience using managed Kubernetes on a public cloud, outlining how we overcome imperfections with self-healing.
Is anyone actually arguing that a super-intelligent AI is, like, physically impossible or something? That seems like a very dumb position to hold, it would be necessary (but not sufficient) to believe that human brains are somehow following alternative laws of physics (aka, magic).

The room to argue, I think, is in how close we are to making them and whether things like DNN’s are the path or a dead end.
It is considered bad practice when used instead of an obviously better alternative. E.g. running a service on an obscure port instead of using a password. Or having a hard-coded admin password instead of forcing the user to pick one.

But when it's in addition to good measures, then it generally improves security.
The universal approximation theorem does not apply once you include any realistic training algorithms / stochastic gradient descent. There isn't a learnability guarantee.

This is the problem, people treat their political ideology like a sports team.
Our use case is to allow users to customize workflows based on a few building blocks. Think of an ERP that would allow users to add or remove steps or different paths to their payroll workflow, for example.

The wording in the additional grant labels software like this as an Application Platform Service -- which is fair, and perhaps intended, but we're still not a big cloud service provider.
Isn't there an online version?
Lots of valid discussion about risks. It is also worth considering the risks of whatever alternative correction is being used.

Nothing is as safe as a spectacles, which by their nature are likely somewhat protective.

The risks of long term contact lens wear and a laser vision correction procedure (PRK/LASIK/SMILE) are closer. Contact lenses have a non zero risk of serious complications including infection. The risk is much higher with extended wear contacts that are worn overnight. Daily disposables are the safest contact lens option.

The risk of serious complications with laser eye surgery are non zero but low if those who are unsuitable are excluded after examination and imaging.
I think there's a good argument that either or both factors contributed. We tend to blame people because they have agency and the natural world does not, and that's not a bad way to understand things.

My main point was that I don't think it would be denialism for someone to say "no, the species was pushed to the brink by climate change anyway, we know other species went extinct prior to human colonisation, and even though humans arguably made it worse there's no conclusive evidence". Glacial maxima are hundreds of thousands of years apart and given the timescales involved it's hard to say whether a species is adapted to them or whether it just got lucky.
The Voynich manuscript is probably too short, but training an LLM on two large text dumps of unrelated languages, where only one is known (the other perhaps an alien message), should make translation possible.
I'm curious, did you explain to your daughter why you were putting her through it, like you've described it here? If I don't sufficiently understand the "why", the task becomes a chore.

I literally just signed up to ask if anybody can recommend any good Zig codebases to read other than Tigerbeatle. How's your terminal going?

Anonymous libel does little damage because it has no credibility.
Lifetimes in Rust are about giving you the ability to say "I have a reference, and I may not know exactly how long the underlying data may live for, but I do know that it will last for at least as long as this other thing". So for example:

fn get_reference_to_first_element(x: &[u8]) -> &u8 {
return &x[0]
}

There are lifetimes here that express that the reference that is returned from this function will live as long as the reference that was passed in. In cases like this where the association is obvious, the lifetimes are implied and you don't need to write them. The desugared form looks like this:

fn get_reference_to_first_element<'a>(x: &'a [u8]) -> &'a u8 {
return &x[0]
}

Lifetimes are present on structs for the same reason.

A system that is limited to annotating only function input parameters would be limited to inferring the programmer's intent everywhere, which limits its utility to simple cases (which might be fine for some languages, but I suspect will not satisfy C++).

In addition, from glancing briefly at that video, it seems as though those five keywords seem to be more concerned with ensuring use-after-initialization, whereas Rust's lifetime system is about preventing use-after-free.

I don't think the author has worked on long-lived projects. Eventually, all code is revisited because there's always shit to get done.
I would think the opposite... If I planned a community I would take 0 thoughts into self driving cars. I'd focus on making sure every single area can be reached via a walking/bike path.

Self driving will figure it out anyway (given enough time).
I don’t think this is a good rule of thumb.

Code that does what it should is rarely read. Until you need to change it.
And it may not be changing due to it being incorrect. If an attendant system gets replaced, you may have to change all the other systems it has touched. Business requirements may have changed. Stakeholders may have changed.

There are plenty of reasons for code to change beyond there being a bug.
No, sorry not me. Though I have signed up for an invite for that terminal by Mitchell Hashimoto (I think his name is).
I see the images too. Perhaps people with ad blockers?
What are you using as the definition of 'doesn't work'? Are you taking the author's claims?

Does something have to be perfect to work? If that's the case we shouldn't have bridges because sometimes they fail?

Show HN: I made a tool to export Namecheap DNS Zones in an easy way
After i found out there is no option to export a DNS-Zone from the Namecheap Backoffice i made a tool for it. Also because the alternative would be to or copy-paste all records by hand or to be lucky and find a support-operator which exports it and sends it to you via chat.

In order to use it you need to enable the Namecheap API, you´ll find a guide in the connection setting of the tool.

Once connected you will see a list of your domains and by clicking on it you will see your DNS-Zone. From there you can simply copy-paste it or also download it as .txt.

Please leave some feedback, thank you very much :)
Perhaps someone will fix contemporary game bugs in year 2500 and write a similar article.
Ah, right, sorry. I confused it with Voyager 6.
As a Sonos owner who owns thousands of dollars worth of their stuff, I strongly discourage anyone else from buying their stuff anymore.

They released a major new app version this year that's really unstable. And even when it works, it has terrible usability. The feedback has been overwhelmingly negative but the company doesn't care.

They turned off all the async customer service options (like email) and the phone wait time was 5 hours last time I tried to call for help. Their CEO's email is posted on their website but messages there just get ignored too.

Now with this clause removed, and their patent war with Google lost, maybe they're dying and desperate for new revenue sources? Who knows.

The company has really gone downhill and doesn't deserve your money. I've never had such poor experiences with a luxury company. Usually products this expensive come from companies that generally give a fuck about their customers. Not so with Sonos. Stay far far away.
Anthropomorphism.
He does claim there is no system which can learn language from 0 by having just as much or less training data as humans. Which seems very likely false.
Now imagine big saas companies hiring these 'scientists' / AI engineers at a large scale, ritualistically implementing features no one needs, without considering data bias, performance and environmental impact..

Indeed the evaluations are saved to DB. Right now it's possible to use this for regression testing with the help of the Optimize tab. In the optimize tab you can experiment with changing an input parameter (such as prompt or temperature, etc), then rerun recordings and see whether the the LLM response matches all previously accepted recordings or not - to see a similarity score which tells you if your change introduced regressions or not.

In the future we are planning to enable a retraining pipeline - most likely we will do this in our core offering at usefini.com
We should give funding by scientific merit, not for PR stunts and fashion hypes like String theory.

Most of the funding is a scam. Governments announce funding, people relabel their work to fit the funding requirements to get money. Next wave of funding is announced, researches relabel the same work to get into the new funding.
I see, I think. I sometimes write JavaScript functions which instead of throwing an error return an error-instance. If the caller knows what kind of result may be returned it can check if it is "instanceof Error" or of some subclass of Error and handle it somehow.

(Sum-)Types would of course be helpful in making it clear that the function can sometimes return an instance of some specific Error-subclasses of course.

Now I assume I could do something like that in plain TypeScript also, return error-instances of different error-subclasses and declare them to be possible return-types, and then handle them in the caller or its callers somehow.

Anybody getting the error-result could not pass it or return it to anybody else whose type does not expect an error-instance.

Is there something even better with EffectsTS?
Rethinking the Transcript Editing Experience
A lot has changed in only a few months. ROCm has gone through several revisions in a short amount of time. I'm curious where you did your testing.

By the way, this was just done...

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_MI300/comments/1dgimxt/benchmar...
Not just long-lived projects. Working on bespoke, internal systems means you’re never truly done. And what you’ve done a month ago may not be what’s wanted now.
I think what this paper attempts to argue, distilled to its simplest form, is that revenge is not justified.

The act of tearing someone down purposefully, either with facts or non-truths, is almost always an act of revenge. Someone felt wronged by someone's current or previous actions, and they move to "take revenge." This paper essentially argues that no one is entitled to revenge.
Exactly my thoughts.

The reason why good code is code that is easy to read, is because products evolve, and so does the code.

Suddenly the taxonomy of that enum starts to shift, and the name that was perfect yesterday does not make sense tomorrow.

These changes happen gradually and a basic acceptance of the code base not being on par with the product understanding is necessary in order to have any kind of velocity on not only spend time refactoring.
What are you using for "AI"? AI is a buzzword, unless you know specifically how they are using it, you can't make this claim.

Many marketing teams are just using AI when it is really ML doing the work, or it could be both.
Tell me how you think it is!!
I don't want to look up the semantic definition of an identifier just to understand which chunks in the syntax are its arguments and which are not.

The tide is flowing the other way now. Kids are using editors that integrate deeply with compilers (via Microsoft's Language Server Protocol). The editors are providing code formatting and completion based on communicating with a compiler. That seems like it could work with Forth.
Any examples? I really haven't seen one outside of hacker news launch attempts
Revenge or not, it should never be illegal to speak the truth of a matter, on any subject. Facts are facts. Truth is truth. Withholding true facts only worsens our models of reality.
Recently I was going through the codebase that our company has spent the last 7 years developing, trying to find examples of code we reuse a lot. This turned out to be very unintuitive: the functions we actually reused the most had practically fallen below the threshold of conscious thought. They almost "just work", so I hadn't realized how much I'd been using them.
The point of the show is to bring science to common people. Many of the startalk episodes he brings on pop culture icons or sports commentators. They dumb down the content substantially, but my mom and my grandma really liked those types of episodes so it must work.
Fasciating. Language is a type of action evoloved for information exchaging, which maps latent "video", "audio" and "thoughts" into "sentences" and vice versa.
James Webb Space Telescope spots asteroid collision in neighboring star system
In almost any HN thread that touches on the subject someone manages to express this sort of view. E.g. from the most recent thread I read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40686920 (apologies for singling out the post, it was impossible to give an example without doing singling out something-- I hope you'll read it in the sense it was intended: an example of a common pattern).

It's even more common in other venues.

That said, from what I've seen the posted article is often used to justify hysteria about AI. For some people the thing protecting them from a meltdown is just a view that superhuman machine intelligence isn't possible, and once that is broken they become vulnerable to cult indoctrination or just general dysfunction.

One needs to maintain perspective, and sometimes an inaccurate view of impossibility is helping a person make better decisions on the whole than they would without it.
Back in times of yore there was briefly a trend of "literal programming" in the javascript universe. They actually bothered to present their little libraries nicely.

Like so: http://underscorejs.org/docs/underscore-esm.html

It goes back to IBM days where annotated code would ship in hard binders and was meant to be flipped through.

Sadly this has not caught on. How do you guys go spelunking in interesting codebases? I always wonder why there's isn't more tooling around this.
That demo page gave me Battlefield Heroes vibes and made me nostalgic and sad. Looks really cool in any case.

>Catalonia is richer than the rest of Spain, that is why Catalan elites want the independence

Yes let every Catalan vote (they are not all elites right?), you know that democratic thing?

>If Catalonia was in the south of Spain, isolated and next to Morocco, things would be very different.

So you just have the right of independence when your the poorest part, but not when your better off and don't want to be dragged down from the rest of the country?

Or maybe it has something todo with:

>>Catalonians tend to be seen as hard-working, business-minded and focused on succeeding, whereas southern areas such as Andalucia are often seen as more exuberant, fun-loving and outgoing.

Most communication tools in the original Freenet nowadays have persistent identifiers, because the experience within Freenet showed that not having any moderation causes constructive communication to break down.

The experience there proves that the methods used there for decentralized moderation succeeded at keeping communication friendly without centralized power or forced identification.

OK, so it's not actually a big problem. I can't identify the first case, the second sounds like Lamotte, and if so, it's not a journalist but a YouTube beggar catering to a neofascist audience.

To me it's obvious that you either ignore or is unaware of constitutional limitations of the criminalisation of defamation, notably in ECHR and three constitutional laws. If you spread defamatory 'truths' in a free speech setting where the victim can defend themselves you'll easily get away with it.
Considering people have hacked other space probes, I would guarantee there is no encryption on the communications. See, e.g.:

I agree. Clever abstractions are often the antithesis of this.
That is a bold statement. I'm 100 convinced that it's based on your code architecture.

Good code in my systems are ones that don't need to be touched or read very often, and the fluid/unknowns parts are decoupled elsewhere.

The article is just a huge gaslighting piece. The U.S. was trying to reduce exposure to Huawei equipment in U.S. and allied Critical Infrastructure. The Chinese government and intelligence services were using the equipment for espionage. Huawei was dumping (economic term for selling below market home price or sometimes manufacturing cost) 5G equipment on U.S. telecoms.

China already had good success with a similar model dumping large power equipment on regional utilities in the U.S. to the point where it's no longer economically feasible for it to be removed, and the U.S. was forced to pivot to attempting to mitigate (vs. eliminate) the risk.
I wonder what an alternate timeline would look like if Microsoft has used Emacs as the foundation for Visual Studio Code? Would extensions be easier to write? Would Emacs get a lot more commands rewritten as asynchronous?
I don’t think you read the whole article. I had the same thought as you from the headline, but they gone on to state that good code is so easy to read when you need to make changes that you don’t have to go through it multiple times to make the required changes.
