I assumed vertical farming was exciting for space reasons, and maybe very little else other than someone wanting (for whatever reason) to grow things in the middle of a dense urban center.
An internal reference could only be cast to a relative memory offset. It’s not a global memory address in disguise like a normal reference. So the same casting rules wouldn't apply.
Kinda worth noting that crime reporting to the FBI is a bit messed up.

So, all the discussion of stats tends to get washed if the national crime statistics don’t include the data from the areas they are reporting on.

>I don't want to pay for basic news. It's a commodity.

A commodity is something you pay for! No snark, it's one thing to suggest that we pay wholesale or in bulk-retail for news, another thing to suggest that a commodity can be free.
I agree that area above the nostrils appears blown-out, but I prefer the eyes more in the Atkinson version. So neither algorithm is superior to me.
The Beatles haircut is also common in Dagestan in Russia, being source of jokes (e.g. https://imgur.com/a/eiGyw7E)
yeah at another point he distanced himself from making racist movies about country he has 0 idea about. then you bring up an example of him trying to hide behind his Jewish identity to be above criticism as a "joke".

it's trivial to punch down and then act like a victim by bringing up your own identity.

People who find it easy to make fun of others while being extremely thin-skinned themselves: https://www.timesofisrael.com/sacha-baron-cohen-tells-tiktok... for a legitimate dissent on his holy cow country. I imagine making fun of Israel in the same vein and making a movie about it in the same style would get anyone blacklisted in Hollywood. There will be 10 OP-EDs about how that's antisemitic and disrespectful. But because it's Kazakhstan nobody gives a shit and we're supposed to suck it up and laugh with others a la Oldboy.

It might be hilarious to you, but for ethnic Kazakhs it isn't (self-respecting ones at least).
Absolutely. My point was the US trying to "sue" a Chinese company is an utterly pointless endeavor.
Yep. It's the possession of "CSAM" that is illegal.

One way to look at this is that some conditions are less of a disability than they used to be. In the same way that medical advances can make some diseases curable or inconsequential so social changes can also make a disease irrelevant.

This is an important lesson, as it should alert us that there likely are other ways our society operates that make a disease into an impediment that could be changed. If you want to know what they are, go talk to disabled rights advocates!
Well.. there is. Middle ground being a very complex, but somehow convincing argument that no one can reasonably check. There was one of these cases in number theory some years ago, can't remember the details. Proofs can be only true or false, but accepting proofs is in the end a social process.
Put that way, it sounds a lot like infosec ...

(I'd humbly posit, however, that - even at worst - even if those promoting this were to win, it does not necesarily follow that any legislative/regulatory change is "irreversible" ...

... so contrarian persistence might still be warranted).-
Yeah, was also going to mention this YouTube channel. It’s really good and he does everything from scratch.
Wait… what’s wrong with motivated by profit? If the service sucks, they’ll lose customers.

Focusing on profit is fundamentally sound unless you’re a monopoly, which tend to be when Gov sticks its beak into things it shouldn’t.
Waterloo is great on engineering, but they desperately need to help their students more. Their WUSA President killed herself just last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/16tjz9r/wusa_nee...
You have to know it is more complicated than that. Oregon is very much not one of the states that gets the most welfare from the feds vs what we pay. Just like almost every other measure I can find, Oregon is pretty much smack in the middle. The SALT change just screwed over individual taxpayers.

Also, the populist comment was aimed at the fact that the tax 'cuts' were built with an expiration date for the poors but permanent for the wealthy. That's pretty much the opposite of what a true populist would do.
What are "heavy" vs "light?" Featureful middleware/plugin ecosystem vs stdlib+process forking?

And/or are we talking minimum memory footprint?
In the old days the price of the FCC granting you a license for a TV channel was that you were obliged to provide news as a public service. It was an obligation yes but also a responsibility, and that brought a note of sobriety.

When stations instead started trying to make news profitable is where public discourse went to die.
I thought this was going to be about the battle of Waterloo.

Nope, Github Pages runs on Fastly. You can see it in the HTTP headers.

I am not going to address the broad set of questions here but I want to point out that two items exist:

1) No-data SIM cards ... they call and text only ...

2) imessage only access point - fairly trivial to set up.

So ... a child can be given a phone - even a smartphone - and it can't be used as a social media device when the family wifi turns off. Further, you can heavily restrict family wifi without curtailing normal phone talking if you have an imessage/facetime only access point.

Again, no magic bullets here but some tools that you might find useful.
That is really freaking cool. Creating a platform that's location independent really helps people with disabilities.

I do think LLMs by enabling people to work indepedently (in adiditon to remote) should add degrees of freedom that would help people with disabilties.

LLMs should enable this by easing creation of work contracts (ie allow more accomodations by changing contracts), automation of most of most business operations, ability to quickly get to "average level" on a lot of business concepts, automation of finances (eg: using Runway).

Hopefully the creative piece of building a business will no longer get drowned out by the operational pieces.
For anyone paying and using Claude Pro, what are the message limits like compared to ChatGPT Plus?

I tried one question that gave me a good answer, and then I tried two of the sample questions. After a couple more short input/outputs I reaced the max messge limit. They state that Pro is at least 5x, but if that is only ~25 short token input/outputs then that's too little for it to not be really annoying to use. What is usage actually like? Is free just very limited now compared to pro? Or is pro also very limited?
I wish there was a pay-as-you-read plan (e.g. 10c an article) for news. I just don't spend enough time on one news source to justify a subscription cost
That doesn't negate the trend of the past two decades of decreasing crime rates, that report is from 2022 and 71% is not big enough for me to think that is has a massive impact on recent numbers. You can also go on violent crime and murder which is almost always reported
So many articles now are lazy quotes from Twitter with little of substance to add to them. The more expensive name brand newspapers tend to be better than this, but it's still hard to justify paying more than it used to cost to get a heavy paper edition delivered to your door.
Sadly, my vehicle has been broken into more times in the last two years than all previous years combined.
It’s one thing if you make yet another acne medicine to the market and let the market bear what it will but when you have something that can possibly save lives and improve general health for 40% of the US population that are obese then it might come time to do a little governmental intervention and give the middle finger to the market, pay off the company a handsome sum, and take over the medication.
As noted in the article: crime is down with 72% of the law enforcement agencies reporting. No mention of which agencies have not reported yet (Chicago, Baltimore, other inner city high-crime areas?)

From the FBI, the actual numbers will not be released:
"The number of incidents will be publicly released when 80 percent participation levels are met."

This feels like a heavily biased article in an election year.

Assuming my Google translate is working well enough, indeed.

HN is perhaps not the optimal venue for such conversations, though I have no suggestions of where to take it. Any ideas?
How are you defining 'fair share' in any way that makes sense? It's not even remotely as simple as you're making it out to be. And it doesn't even matter in the end, the federal budget is only loosely correlated with how much people pay in taxes. But real people, normal people, got screwed by the change, even if you think it was totally okay to do it.
Did you even check the docs? Or just reading the title was enough to drop your opinion?

This is essentially sound design from first principles. There's a good book here: https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Sound-Press-Andy-Farnell/dp... Note that the software used (Pure Data) can be replaced by another high-level language (SuperCollider: https://supercollider.github.io/) pretty easily. I know of no "tool" to do what you want because there are few things that are universal to different kinds of natural and unnatural sound. (Note: study acoustics and psycho-acoustics to better understand why the former is true.)
Have you reported these and the fact that this is a reoccurring issue to the FTC? Most of these agencies need consumers to initiate action.

Every time you see these scam 'ads' or sponsored listings, report them. Every time you get something unsafe from Amazon (for example I submitted the semi-recent Youtuber investigating fuses that are unsafe) report it to the FTC. The agencies that stop this initiate action from reports. Which means you have to report these things.

I would really like to pay for well edited news. I do not want to pay for advertising and trackers in my web browser. I want to pay someone that prioritizes readers over advertisers. Ideally, no ads at all, so there is no conflict of interest for the publication when choosing topics and investigating.

I had a daily local newspaper subscription and canceled it over all of the analytics embedded in the website.

I have long been a subscriber to The Economist. I value having a weekly update that is well edited and not repeating every 24 hours things that have not been well investigated.

I am considering subscribing to other high value feeds like The Financial Times and Bloomberg.

I would appreciate input on the best sources to subscribe to. Take my money, please!

With a caveat that when dithering in color, you need both: linear RGB for diffusion/color blending, and a perceptual color space for palette search. Distance in sRGB is more closely aligned with perception of color than linearized RGB.
That’s an average for the year 2024, but as income taxpayers we only pay around half of that, or around $36.40 per American (using the $24.9B 2024 budget and 342M for the 2024 population), or maybe about one week’s morning Starbucks habit for some of us. :P The rest is paid by businesses and other sources. Of course, compared to the amount the military costs & spends, NASA’s really small.
Anyone wanting to watch this movie (which is great) just go into it cold. Be warned that there's a pretty extended sex scene, but otherwise just go in without expectations.

I've listened to so many interviews that I couldn't tell you who said what at this point, but that is what I understood from somewhere. So, sure, take it as speculation.
Paying for modern news is questionable.

As an example, when The Athletic launched I decided to start a paid subscription because they promised they would never put ads in their news content and they would have solid coverage of sports/teams/regional events. After several years they started putting 3-5 ads between paragraphs, shut down a podcast I enjoyed listening to, laid off regional reporters who covered certain teams.

And then of course they were acquired by NYT which made things even worse.

They then removed the regional chief of the Bay Area in the last year.

Does paying full price guarantee anything these days?

It's not like you can guarantee any news network won't let subjectivity slip into their content, there will always be some bias and coverage based on either the writers or editors or top level business.

At that point I'd rather just use ad blockers as best as I can.
I kind of like rebasing
Last I checked they only did syntax highlighting, not completion. And Jetbrains were rather clear that it was not a priority.

I am happy to be wrong now though.

Edit, this is a good step forward, here is the list from NetBeans, the "Toyota Hilux" of IDEs and my favorite:

Project type
Semantic syntax highlighting √

Braces matching √
Code completion √

Most SAR systems operate in X-Band (~10 Ghz). I guess it's fair to assume that every organization who has ever sent anything to space has also launched SAR satellites. The radar part is comparatively easy to getting things into orbit.
That's the idea at the end about presenting the "sticky notes" as products of primes. Assuming you can't factor the primes yourself, you can be given the whole grid of those products and then interactively ask for the factors or a pair of them. The requestor can't give an alternative factorization (ie. make up a color on the spot) since each number can only be factored one possible way and its easy to verify.
I like the Atlantic, New York Times Magazine, New Yorker etc., but I like like 30-40% of all of em, so, what should I subscribe too?

Kazakhstan has a problem with Islamic extremists and the government is very much worried about it and spends a lot of money fighting it. They put cameras in every mosque, for example, and work their people into every religious group of any significance.

That's pretty absurd. Instead of lowering the classification of this crime they could have introduced reasonable exceptions, like excluding one's own photos.

The best dailies nowadays are the WSJ and the Financial Times in my view. Unlike the NYT, they do a reasonable job of keeping the newsroom separate from Opinion. The old joke about the Economist is that half the stories will be among the best reporting one reads; the other half is sound-good nonsense. The fun bit is trying to figure out which half is which each week.

And yes, it’s a crying shame how far Scientific American has fallen. It’s now on par with The New Scientist.

They stopped paying their outsourced SIM Card burning and shipping vendor. This isn’t a state in their support database, which dutifully queued up requests as-if everything is fine. Eventually they paid their vendor and the requests got popped off the queue.
No, I disagree. The Commission cannot pass anything on its own, the agenda is set by the Council and directives are effectively drafted by Parliament bodies (since MEPs have the ultimate say). The Commission largely routes things back and forth between other bodies but has very little power in practice, and is technically required to be fundamentally apolitical.

Until a few years ago, nominations for Commissioner jobs were mostly handed to long-serving but lower-level politicians. This has changed a bit in recent times, but not fundamentally so. One of the critiques of the current constitutional setup is precisely that the executive, in practice, can execute very little without constantly going back to the Council.
hah, this is great! i've been wanting to play around with AI conversing with each other, and this is a nice, approachable intro!

News must be a public matter, both controlled and financed by the citizens, like it's done in Germany and in th UK.
How do tests for drugs like this get conducted?

"Here's a shot, go have sex with people with HIV"? I hope the young women conducting the trials were compensated sufficiently for the risk taken, especially those who contracted HIV during the period.
Really? I didn't know that. Just didn't seem feasible to have irrigation lines running for that distance.
Agreed, the only news I pay for is the economist. No other publication comes close to it in terms of quality, maturity and consistency of perspective, and reach. Pricey, but worth it.
When your police are free to abuse girls all the way up to abusing them to death for not wearing hats like Iran is, I'm pretty sure that's extremism.
Gave it some existing python to modify, which it should be good at, at least I would expect it to be.

The first task seemed like it was heading the right way, but it just didn't finish up, left empty function stubs which didn't compile. Definitely tuned to be very lazy.

The second one was five files, tasked to fix a specific thing. It found the right function but changed unrelated parts of it so it used nonexistant values and in effect, broke it entirely.

I don't think I get the hype either tbh. Maybe the file upload is borked on their chat demo or just a classic case of long context IQ loss.
It’s definitely nowhere near capable of doing that.
Bloomberg is definitely worth it, although in a parallel universe they would make less of a deal of every single tiny bit of news as if it were all so important. Everything is breaking news, even when it isn't, so it gets exhausting after a while. You have to watch/read it with that filter on, IMHO.

But then again, they aren't the only ones guilty of this, so I can't really pin in it on them specifically
Isn't this the same comic as is in the page itself?
From Gilead's press release:

"
PURPOSE 1, a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized study, is evaluating the safety and efficacy of twice-yearly, subcutaneous lenacapavir for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and once-daily oral Descovy® (emtricitabine 200mg and tenofovir alafenamide 25mg; F/TAF) in more than 5,300 cisgender women and adolescent girls aged 16-25 across 25 sites in South Africa and three sites in Uganda. The drugs are being tested in parallel, with one group receiving twice-yearly lenacapavir and one group taking once-daily oral Descovy. Additionally, a third group was assigned once-daily oral Truvada. Study participants were randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to lenacapavir, Descovy and Truvada, respectively. Because effective PrEP options already exist, there is broad consensus in the PrEP field that a placebo group would be unethical; thus, the trial used bHIV as the primary comparator and Truvada as a secondary comparator.

There were 0 incident cases of HIV infection among 2,134 women in the lenacapavir group (incidence 0.00 per 100 person-years). There were 16 incident cases among 1,068 women in the Truvada group (incidence 1.69 per 100 person-years). The results demonstrated superiority of twice-yearly lenacapavir over bHIV (primary endpoint, incidence 2.41 per 100 person-years) and superiority of twice-yearly lenacapavir over once-daily Truvada (secondary endpoint), with p<0.0001 for both endpoints. In the trial, lenacapavir was generally well-tolerated and no significant or new safety concerns were identified.

[...]

Gilead expects results in late 2024/early 2025 from the program’s other pivotal trial, PURPOSE 2, which is assessing twice-yearly lenacapavir for PrEP among cisgender men who have sex with men, transgender men, transgender women and gender non-binary individuals who have sex with partners assigned male at birth in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and the United States.
"
Manually writing getters and setters is also pretty boring, in my experience.
You give the shot to a group and you give no shot to another group. Then you compare rates of HIV contractions between the two groups.
It seems to me that sticking it in a landfill is a kind of recycling. We take hydrocarbons out of the ground, polymerize them, use them a bit and then put them back in the ground where they came from.
They're comparing against typical rates of infection over time.
> A question, does thinking necessarily involve inference?

That would depend on the scope/context, which you did not specify. :)

But on average (especially if one drops the "necessarily" constraint, but even if not): yes, very much so.

Well products like the ones you describe do exist. But apparently you don’t know them because you listed Bloomberg as high value when it’s a pay to play publication.
