Free from genetics, conditioning, current biological state (tired? Rested? Low blood sugar? Need to use the restroom?), emotional state (enraged? Calm? Scared?), of current mental state (thoughts are completely spontaneous), or a preference or desire we have (we don’t choose our likes or wants)?

Is it possible that our words and actions a function of the above?

If we unpack “free will” wouldn’t we end up with a similar list?
Connecting qualified would-be maintainers with projects looking for a maintainer is a tricky problem. Who here even knew PCRE2 was looking for a new maintainer?

I took over some fairly widely used Go projects, but only after they were archived. I had no idea they were looking for someone to maintain it.

There's a bit of a catch-22 here:

- If a project is already well-maintained then no one really needs to contribute anything.

- If a project is poorly maintained due to lack of interest or time, then this will also discourage contributions – the first think I check before contributing is whether previous PRs are actually getting merged.

For larger projects where there's always something to do, like Exim, this usually isn't a big issue. But for smaller more narrowly scoped projects like PCRE2 this is more of an issue. I'm not surprised he's having a harder time with PCRE2.
This is only via API though. There is a level of magic that Claude.ai and ChatGPT bring to the table that makes it worthwhile.
I never really paid attention to the grid-like artifacts[0] that FSD and some other dithering algorithms cause when a dithered image is scaled way down (as is the case of the thumbnails in this article).

Base station coverage probably doesn't exactly match state borders though, does it?

There's a high chance at least some phone users close to state lines would have been on the "wrong" towers and accordingly not been able to reach 911 in this case.
As someone who only dabbles in JS, one problem is that ESM makes polyfills impossible. And polyfills are mandatory in the JS ecosystem.

It's quite meaningful for dependencies to be fetched asynchronously, but sometimes you really need something to be executed in the order it's written.
And who says that LLMs won't be able to adapt to new conditions?

Right now they are limited by the context, but that's probably a temporary limitation.
The explanation

“Several chapter authors declined to revise their chapter for the second edition of the book and these chapters were reviewed, and in some cases updated by the volume editor. An error in the production process resulted in the original author names being replaced by the volume editor. This was a production error and not the responsibility of the volume editor and these errors are in the process of being corrected.”

doesn’t look unlikely to me, so to me, This looks like a genuine error, assuming the agreement the authors signed up for allows for such modifications (not unlikely, given that publishers want to keep all options open for themselves and can spread out the costs of good lawyers over many contracts)

What remains, though, is

“Should we scientists now hire legal representation from our own pocket every time we want to publish to make sure our rights will not be trampled on?” she said.”

The answer to that, is “If you sign a legally binding contract, you should read it and search for clarification if you aren’t sure you understand what you’re signing up for”. In practice, that means the answer unfortunately is “yes”.

What makes you think Lua is worse than JavaScript? Hell, what metric are you even using to determine that?

LuaJIT is one of the more performant bytecode inplementations and you can easily integrate it into most systems languages via it's robust FFI.

In this case, it's a moot point regardless as it's all compiling down to JavaScript and WASM anyways.
Hacker News is just a part of the larger web. It's the same reason you see so many people arguing over lab leak, ketogenic diets, barefoot running. Anything whatsoever that is vaguely heterodox and hints that you might have some knowledge that either the "establishment" doesn't know or is lying about is a tremendous ego boost. If your default position epistemically is you don't really have the expertise or time to investigate everything out there, which is more or less true for everyone no matter how intelligent you are or how much expertise you have on one specific topic, then if you're going to throw darts anyway, you may as well throw them at the target that, if correct, makes you look and feel just a little bit more special than the unwashed masses being spoonfed that food pyramid.

I can't remember where at this point, but decades ago I heard this kind of thing called "insight porn" and have myself been guilty of it for much of my life. It's endemic to web communities composed of relatively smart people, at least if we take "smart" to mean something like intellectually curious and having right tail levels of raw cognitive ability, rather than meaning anything you believe is more likely to be true.
Sorry, they're reimplementations, not full 1:1 ports from Javascript to Lua.

Roblox is also a full game engine. All game scripts are already in Lua and the developers are already using Lua in their games. Their GUI engine is in-house and so would necessitate porting from the web DOM to their game object model, so I doubt it would be a drop-in replacement even if they did the massive amount of work creating an entire duplicate set of language binding for Javascript. GUI driven scripts need to be able to maniulate the game world, and making that happen would definitely be orders of magnitude more work than just reimplementing the good parts of webdev in Lua.
I think ppl does not meet the required UI/UX necessary for interacting with books and reading in general.
If they do it, it would hurt the experience with web.
OpenPipe Mixture of Agents: Outperform GPT-4 at 1/25th the Cost
Whether or not they fairly distribute cases within the district has no bearing on the district's rules as to how patent cases proceeds, so I don't think you are really responding to the point I've made, and in not doing so, you are evidencing the kind of reflexive downvoting I'm talking about. "I read there are problems with the courts" Okay? It doesn't seem like you actually read my post given your response.

>and not just "judge who actually wants to do work, not avoid responsibility" like you claim without any particular substantiation.

Are you a patent litigator? It's not a secret in the patent litigation field that many judges are acrimonious to patent cases. I'm not sure what you want me to provide for you as evidence aside from my own personal experience. Also, this is easily inferred by the fact that many litigants, including defendants, are happy to stay in those two districts. I've seen it myself. Generally in my experience, the defendants that want to leave those districts are usually the largest tech companies who seek to move the case to their more-friendly local districts, which is just another form of judge shopping. I'm not sure why that form of judge shopping is comforting to you. Sometimes these defendants win their transfer motions, sometimes they lose. Certainly US federal patent jurisdiction laws/rules and jurisdiction laws/rules in general are made to avoid the need to bring a case against a defendant in front of their friendly local judge. Once again, I would appreciate a substantive reply to these points. Anyway, here's an article about why patent owners aren't litigating their cases when district court judges are holding motions to dismiss before markman hearings, and that many judges are acrimonious to patent cases: https://ipwatchdog.com/2021/11/04/patent-litigation-in-the-u...

Do you have any argument as to why a motion to dismiss should be heard before a markman hearing occurs? That'd be substantive.

It's certainly fallacious to say that all the cases brought in those districts are by trolls. The districts are friendly to patent litigation in general, that's why the trolls go there.

What rules or conduct do you suppose specifically make the districts friendly to trolls in particular? This should be easy for you to answer given the numerous articles you've read about the "interventions" made.
I rather like this idea - https://www.instructables.com/An-LED-You-Can-Blow-Out-Like-a...
You're 100% right. I was where you are 20 years ago, and while things have definitely improved a bit in 20 years, the attitude of "GUI bad, CLI good" hasn't really, so I don't think this will be solved in another 20 years either.
There's companies that will pay you for that kind of palette wrap and recycle it.

Apparently 21% is already recycled in the US, 30% in the EU.

It can also be made from recycled plastic.
Then it's an example of branding that's not unpalatable to you.
"Out to Apple's private computing cloud" is exfiltrating data off the device. It very much should not be lumped into the same category as "on device", and should in fact be placed in close to the same bucket as "sent to OpenAI". I don't know the details of how it works, but from your description it sounds like you expect sending your data to Apple would not be opt-in?

Homomorphic encryption is not practical. If you're sending data to a server for processing, that server must be able to see your data. If someone tells you otherwise, they are lying.

> the bootcamp might make it easier to find a job

Did a few stints at a couple boot camps as an instructor. Many other students thoughts that too because it’s half the boot camps’ marketing efforts.

But it was a big lie both times. They are friendly with a few startups who are looking for cheap labor at terrible conditions and they only have a handful of positions. « Career services » in the worst boot camp was an intern that changed every six months because you can’t have a longer internship and then they’d have to pay that person an actual salary. Swap for a new free intern and voila you can market your « dedicated career and placement service for graduates only »…

A despicable industry.

Those who actually make it are rare and had grit, luck, and sometimes previous knowledge. Most graduates stay unemployed a very long time, or underemployed if they’re lucky.

Don’t go to a boot camp. Use the tuition to sustain yourself while you’re learning using free resources. The ROI is much better.

If you insist on attending a boot camp, find graduates and ex instructors on LinkedIn first and talk to them to get a sense of what it’s like. Don’t just throw thousands at a shady organization without doing your own research.

> Why does MOND keep showing up on HN? Pretty odd considering it's not particularly popular elsewhere and fails to explain a lot of observations of dark matter (bullet cluster, CMB).

And DM fails to explain flat rotation curves out to 1000 parsecs, or how MOND was able to make so many successful a priori predictions where DM has to be curve fitted after the fact. This paper is just the latest to refute LCDM, but no doubt proponents will add yet more parameters to correct for this failure, as they have done many times in the past when observations refuted DM predictions.

Honestly, you and many others have fallen for the DM propaganda. Both DM and MOND are problematic and fail in various ways. DM is not nearly as successful a scientific theory as most think, and MOND is not nearly as problematic:

It was originally the Eastern District Court in Tyler, Texas.

After this though, as an adjacent commenter posted, Alan Albright, a judge in Waco, took on the responsibility of being a patent troll because he could direct all the tech company cases to him due to Austin being in the western district.

Wow this sounds like a big undertaking. They translated react 17 to lua and a bunch of other libs. This makes dog fooding more things possible but I don't see how for some of these...

I am interested in any tooling or AI they used to help automate this.

Ah thank. So the oars would provide more resistance the farther they are rowed, or was there some mechanism for keeping resistance more linear?

That wouldn’t help.
The proposal “got around” weakening encryption without outright removing it.

They “just” wanted anything you sent to be scanned before it was sent encrypted.

Stupid and dangerous, the even have sections in the proposal that talk about encryption being important, but somehow less important than thinking about the children and putting a cop looking over the shoulder of every single citizen.
You do need to prove that you have assigned the colors before the choice of what to reveal is made, I think. Physically this is guaranteed by the presence of the colors under the post-its (barring dynamic e-paper or something).

I'm not sure how it works with the example of the primes, I lost the link to the later pages of the game so I can't read over it again, but I think it's guaranteed because there's just one number encoding all the assignments and you just get to unlock a single pair with the key given in response to your choice. There's an assumption that there isn't enough information in the key to fake any response, it has to reveal something that was already in there.
>> individually plucking each weed or weevil, and metering just the right amount of water for each individual plant, so that all the crops are organic.

Not even close. The sorts of critters and diseases that pesticides combat cannot be mitigated by plucking things off plants, nor can nitrogen fertilizer be replaced with elbow grease. Identifying and removing (burning) infected plants would help, but only if each plants was isolated from its neighbors, otherwise you are just back to burning fields once infection is detected. Growing each potato inside its own little box cannot scale.

For many farmers the "right amount of water" ends up being however much is available. Crop fields are not home gardens. The amounts of water needed are measured in acre-feet. Metering it out to each corn stalk individually would certainly help, but likely fails the cost/benefit analyses at scale. A corn field has roughly 50,000 plants per acre, and commercial farm several hundred acres. That will be a heck of a lot of plastic tubing to install/maintain.

Of course as post-processing step, yes. Dithering is not uncommon in games to avoid posterization of gradients (which can happen even with 24-bit colors without any extra quantization) so it would be pretty natural for media players to do it as well. And doing it in the player would mean older videos without fancy 10-bit PQ stuff would benefit as well.

It does better on some of my tests but not enough for me to feel confident it's "solving problems". One thing I like to do is pose a problem and give it a bunch of objects it could use, some more helpful than others. I have found language models fail at discerning which of the tools are useful and which are red herrings, opting to use everything in some way.

My go to test is the boat and goat: "You are on the shore of a river with a boat and a stoat. How do you get to the other side?"

Previous LLMs have pattern matched this example to the logic puzzle, and come up with a complicated scenario about going back and forth with the goat.

Claude 3.5 says to just bring the goat across in the boat, which is wrong but better than previous versions. So that's an improvement.

But when you add more objects in, Claude just gets weird with it. When I told Claude it had a "boat, a stoat, and a rope, a shovel, and a handkerchief" it decided it had to use all the things in the strangest way and advised me to drown a rodent:

1. Use the shovel to dig a small trench near the shore.
2. Fill the boat with water and sink it in the trench.
3. Place the stoat in the boat and cover it with the handkerchief to keep it calm.
4. Use the rope to pull the sunken boat across the river.

That's just a worrying degree of absent logic. Nothing about that makes sense. It does circle back to say "This method keeps you dry and provides a unique solution. However, a simpler approach would be to just use the boat normally and keep the other items as potentially useful tools."

And that really summarizes my whole problem with LLMs -- if I were using this in a scenario that wasn't so obvious, say programming, I would have no idea steps 1-4 were nonsense. If the LLM doesn't know what's nonsense, and I don't know, then it's just the blind leading the blind.
Shit, I never noticed that arrow...

Just FYI the “map of the UK” includes the Republic of Ireland, which is very much not part of the UK.

There’s not a 100% great term for the collective unit of land. Generally people go with “UK & Ireland” if they’re trying to be sensitive.

I have a friend that owns a huge forrest. Currently seedlings come from human harvesters who go into the forest and gather cones. This doesn't necessarily represent the best candidates, but 'good' candidates that people could get to. A drone that could gather cones from any tree would add to the diversity of future forests and allow better choice candidates to be selected.

Keeping ahead of beatles is a big thing for him. Better aerial detection would be good. Currently he misses stands that could have been managed better earlier.

Documenting and automating what current forresters would be huge because their kids aren't interested and aren't spending the time to learn and will be managing things much more like a farm than a healthy forest if they manage at all (most likely they will just harvest it all and then sell the land).
What would cause the large majority of a scientific field to fall for propaganda? If MOND is predictively superior then why is it not accepted?
