Same as going forward, you'd grab a free block and simply fill it backwards from the end instead of forwards from the beginning. But the file system would have to support file data starting mid-block and new blocks getting added to the head of the file. The problem is that there'd be more bookkeeping data to store, more code to implement it, and more edge cases to handle for concurrent writes.

Reading Thumbelina to my four-year-old, and realizing that she was basically... trafficked? Kidnapped from a loving home by a mother toad to marry her ugly son; she escapes but then is homeless, eventually taken in by a kindly field mouse. But then the field mouse eventually decides to force her to marry a mole who wants her to live underground, before finally escaping that and finding people of her own kind who respect her decisions. Makes you wonder for how many children that was more an allegory than a fairly tale, and how many didn't manage all their escapes.
Show HN: GitHub Copilot in 70 lines of JavaScript
It is an interesting format, but a bit hard to discover. If it would not have been for your comment, it would not have occurred to me, that there is a second level which enriches the overall topic.

Is it essential to the format to open all secondary parts at once? Otherwise that would be a great use case for the details/summary tag, which also would come with affordances that indicate that there is more information available.
Absolutely. But DMD has a spectrum of severities, and it seems possible that for some patients, producing some normal transcript would make a real difference, so that until more people are treated, we cannot know when more normal transcripts make a difference.
Most major websites continue to offer RSS. Considering that some people apparently believed that HN itself did not have RSS, I suspect that some people just don't know where to look for feed URLs.
The President of YC's board, allegedly. Which he never was because that position didn't actually exist until after he left. There's been numerous articles about that recently.

Not to undermine your point, the techbroism is strong here but facts are facts
Ok, that almost certainly means you can't hear the difference between the aspirated and unaspirated allophones. That's absolutely typical of native speakers: they can't hear the difference between allophones.

Now try standing in front of a mirror, and hold a Kleenex (tissue...) in front of your mouth while pronouncing those words. You'll probably see a tiny flutter when pronouncing 'spill', 'spy' etc., but a large movement when pronouncing 'pill', 'pie' etc. The tissue is showing a difference that your ears have a hard time with. Not because the difference is hard to hear--a Thai speaker would have no problem--but because the sounds are allophonic in English (but phonemic in Thai).
I agree. I've only started using them since getting a 49" curved monitor and it's beautiful. Same for workspaces (virtual desktops) actually, never used them before.
I've tried to use generative text LLMs myself for story ideas, filling out backstory in characters, etc. No matter how good the model is, no matter how much context you supply or repeat, it will inevitably spiral down into some degree repetition and forgotten story beats.

But hey, at least it's all technically grammatically correct. Most of the time.

What disturbs me more is the thought of lost context in things like code, medical notes, and actually critical workflows.
AI "safety" is nothing but an elaborate ruse toward deliberate regulatory capture.
> Huffman, ANS, arithmetic coding, etc do not include the frequency counts as part of the size afaik, though of course that needs to be stored to decode, if not please link me.

They may or they may not. There are schemes doing both. Either way, you cannot compare arithmetic coding given no information to your scheme that is given the exact frequencies of every symbol.
I had a similar experience last time I tried komorebi. The architecture seems smart in theory, with concerns separated between komorebi/komorebic/autohotkey, but in practice it's a lot of fiddling. I also experienced an irritating pixel-border spacing issue.

I've been using Divvy for the past few months and it's suited my needs much better. Instantly intuitive and productive. https://mizage.com/windivvy/
Looking at it quickly, it seems like you just moving entropy to the frequency table.

If the frequency table isn't included in the count, I could just make an "infinite" compressor by storing the frequency and cut one byte off the end. From the frequency table I could then deduce what the last byte should be.

> typical entropy encoders (Huffman, ANS, etc) would require 1 bit per symbol,

No. ANS (and range/arithmetic coding) allows for probabilities to be stored with fractional bits.
Wouldn't it still thermal throttle as the whole device gets hot, separate chip or not ?

I understand the threshold for heating up should be lower than with integrated chips, but we're talking about fan speeds, about when that threshold is still reached and cooling is needed.
You didn’t come off as wanting this silenced - I just mean that I liked having a different voice on HN. We see a lot of arch, academic analysis here. Loopy, sometimes crass mom encounters AI books was a fun share from OP.

I bet you can imagine what her reaction might be if she read this thread :)
It's not even that special imo. Openwebui does the same locally when you enable search engine integration. It's not really rocket science
Why does the market cap allow you to decide about other people's projects? Lua is used in many places, and its users aren't all employees of Roblox. Lua is popular because it works in a way that sometimes breaks backward compatibility, making the language as easy and lean as it is. If there's a disagreement on how it should be used, just fork it like Roblox did.
No doubt, the statements involving timelines are confusingly presented.

While I can agree that in the later years, the math becomes unnecessarily prescriptive, as a mathematician myself, I am categorically not in the 'what is mathematics anyway' camp, at least not for kids.

For children, it is fundamental that they calculate. Learning arithmetic is the first introduction into the idea of infinity, which is a vital concept all children must come to terms with. The natural numbers pop up everywhere and is a basic life skill.

Mathematicians and philosophers can pontificate later as to what the exact nature of mathematics is, and if the real numbers are actually real, but none of that means that kids shouldn't learn how to count.

The money redeems everything else and therefore whatever is done in obtaining them is good and admirable. Currently, glorifying shady people who are showing each other their dicks.

It's part of learning. Over excited and some guidance would be helpful but it's learning. He's reinvented an octagonal wheel and we're now able to explain to him 'good start, see this round wheel (arithmetic encoding) over here? it's even better!'.
I don't really understand your last paragraph.

It is in no way expected that Art that "challenges" is going to challenge every viewer. Of course some wouldn't be, in this case you. That's not a bug. I wouldn't even necessarily say that the quality of art is measured by the % of audience it is able to successfully "challenge", that also incentivises shock for shock's sake.

But I also don't really understand the specifics of what you're saying - There are no fingernails shown in the gif, and I suppose maybe one person with upper-arm fat?

To be clear, I'm not advocating for the art or the artist. It does nothing for me either. I'm curious about your seeming vitriol to it tho. (Could be a misread of what you wrote)

Additionally, you would be hard pressed to find a corporation of that size which hasn't made some kind of DEI pledge over the years. Here's a page on Nvidia 's website [1] talking about their supposed commitment to DEI. How are we to know that Nvidia's wild success of late isn't due to their inclusivity?

Of course we know Nvidia's rise has nothing to do with DEI, because we understand the context - there's an AI boom and they're selling shovels. By the same token, we know that Boeing's cultural rot has nothing to do with DEI, because people have been talking about this for decades.

Personally I think this is empty rhetoric companies employ to boost their stock price by getting included in ESG indexes. Political commentators on the right take advantage of this to fan the flames of culture war.

Don't fall for either side of this grift. It's just people talking their book.

At the end of the day, writing code is not difficult. Understanding what it's actually doing is the hard part. Moreover, understanding how to write code that reasons about code (and higher) is when you start to need computer science, or really just axiomatic systems (math).
Gen AI is the worst thing that happened to AI research. It is a bullshit generation machine that feeds resentment towards all technologies that make up the broad field of AI.

> Like they are set in a world with hidden rules and assumptions, that we do not understand and seem alien to us.

Is that so difficult to believe? That world existed (and still exists), and each new generation of young people acts flabbergasted when the rules and assumptions smack them in their faces. I was young once, and only now am starting to recognize the world(s) that is far older than myself, whose rules and assumptions I can only vaguely begin to comprehend. You find this in fairy tales too, but not only there.
Ask HN: Whom do you trust for a cheap tablet?
Situation: I had a RPi/touch monitor as an interface for my smart home (HA). It died. Since this is my 2nd RPi to bite the dust, I thought, "Why not just use an Android tablet?" But I don't trust the big companies (e.g., Samsung), because they definitely spy. I probably shouldn't trust the small companies on AliExpress, either.

So, the question is simply this: Whom would you trust (and why)?
Because since the Morris Worm in 1988, there are still plenty of networking facing services that keep being written in C and C++, and without the necessary sanitary precautions.

True, there are plenty of alternatives for many of those networking services, not necessarily Rust.
Yeah, I don't either. I mean, maybe if I were debugging a console app? But I prefer using multiple workspaces.
The metric system has uniform computational cost whenever you add/subtract or divide any two lengths.

The inch-foot system does a tradeoff. Easier computation when your lengths are certain combinations of simple fractions, but difficult ones when not.
yep headline is a bit over the top. sadly, ive lost my faith in customers. i do remember seeing gas stations prices being manually updated in the daytime during rush hour. i can imagine even a change in price once during open hours could cause confusion.. and it would be hard to catch. how many folks do you know actually pay attention to price next to item vs checkout price? - most folks i know just pay-whatever and ignore 2nd checking at register

It's neither correct nor incorrect but rather a category error to say that a forum "comprehends" or "understands" or fails to do so. It's basically noise except as a statement of how the commenter feels, and this could be better expressed more substantively and less trope-ily.
J.K. Rowling satirized the idea of "sanitized" fairy tales in The Tales of Beedle the Bard through the character of Beatrix Bloxam, whose bowdlerized versions of Beedle's tales were so wretched they caused kids to vomit, thus undermining her stated goal of writing stories more appropriate for children.

Relatedly, recently an image appeared on Facebook of the character Lady Elaine Fairchilde as she appears in Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood; both her ugly face and her irascible attitude are considerably toned down. It only made me miss the original version of Elaine from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood all the more. Fred Rogers was not one to shy away from the ugly feelings we all feel from time to time; and Elaine's original design draws heavily from the Punch and Judy tradition (which itself could have very dark and scary themes whilst still being entertainment for children, and itself has been toned down).

When all the hard surfaces of our culture have been made soft, spongy and safe, when all the sharp edges are filed down smooth, how will we raise children who grow into adults adequately prepared to deal with the harshness of the real world?
The problem is either (a) the scrollbar is hidden and the software doesn't allow to make it visible always or (b) the web page assumes there is no visible scrollbar (or, (c), only a "see-through" overlay scrollbar) even if there is one.

That's a good idea. I'll have a think about a JS only example, although the reference pages have some, they log results to the console and so I thought some HTML might be interesting to see.

Maybe it's interesting for you: the method pages have compat data at the bottom so you can see what's supported and in which browser release.
Interesting blog post that was long overdue, I think Google should probably disclose all the details (URLs/actors responsible, methodology for catching these exploits ITW and targeting) around the ITW samples when they kill the bugs, so we can have nuanced discussion with actual facts. It would also help the threat intelligence industry ;)
If you already understand the idea behind state driven updates, you're already writing better React than the majority of folks using it. React made it easy enough to write working UIs without having a clue what's actually happening, when, and why. (which is also why there's a never-ending stream of stackoverflow questions about why obvious state mutations don't immediately kick in)
But that's not a given. We conduct ourselves differently at work and in private life. Further, workplace processes are often designed to minimize bias. And here, we have a system that is trained on content that's two rungs above 4chan, and then coerced not to say racist things via RLHF. I don't think it's comparable at all.
Any new term can be qualified to be a buzzword just because it's... new. I don't see the argument.
Refactoring Almost Ruined My App
... which makes up a small fraction of Apple's profits. About 7% [1].

Losing 7% would be "A big deal", although they'd also lose a lot of the operational costs so the overall loss may be less than that. There are several costs of doing business in the EU.

I can also see them selling more to the UK and a black-market opening up in the EU for UK phones. Again, not a huge thing but a little +ve offset.

Overall, I could see it happening, maybe, emphasis on the maybe part. I think the EU thinks it's inconceivable for Apple to exit their market. I also think Apple are very hard-headed. Make the cost/benefit balance skew too heavily in the -ve direction, and the potential of future profits stop outweighing the costs.

Personally I really hope they just do as they're told by the EU because I think it'd hit the stock, and I could do with the stock staying reasonably high in the short term, but they'd recover. Hell, they could run on cash/savings with no sales for several years at the current rate...

That sounds right. I think I misread a source. Was just looking at this yesterday, but didn't look close enough.
Is this tiling manager not worth its salt to bring over to Linux? Or is it because there are already other tiling managers, there’s no point in this targeting Linux also?
>chemical imbalance

One, this is a mostly unsupported phrase used by therapists which may be comforting to patients but isn't actually backed by neuroscience. The best that can be said is that drugs which affect the brain help some people with diagnosed mental illness. The chemical mechanisms for most mental illnesses are not known or barely hinted at.

>Also, this presupposes that by the time you are old enough to experience the world your brain isn't "malleable enough" to handle it which seems unlikely unless you're really sheltered from the vast majority of the world until your late 20s.

This seems to be parroting the "your brain doesn't finish developing until 25 (or whatever)" which has gone around quite a distance as a meme but has no scientific basis.

There are many development windows for many different things, some known better than others. A 20 year old does not have the same language acquisition skills as a 3 year old. My eyes work a little funny because I was myopic at birth and some control systems didn't develop between birth and 6 months and that window is just permanently closed. Most things remain at least a little malleable and some much more than others but this does not mean that there aren't developmental periods at a young age which aren't very important.
Two, many chemical feedback systems are trained in early life. The "chemical imbalance" could be exactly this, childhood experiences not matching adult ones and as a result brain chemistry responds poorly to adult stimuli.
X-monad and i3 are two common tiling managers for Linux. They prioritize different ways of working. So one might click with you while the other feels awkward…I connected with x-monad’s interface and not i3 but you might find the opposite.
Funny you say that. I got the inspiration in part from weed hallucinations. I'd be listening to music and when I closed my eyes, I'd see this moving beautiful 3D colorful visuals. I thought it was astonishing that our brain could come up with these geometric structure and transform them in any way possible. I've spent ALOT of time thinking about the minute details of what Im doing when I imagine shaping/shifting objects in my brain, etc.

In my mind, this is far more than just about music videos, that was just my initial goal. But yeah you're 100% right, its an endless pit of trying to do everything and constantly moving goal posts. I wish I stuck to doing something simple and fun and gone from there.
There's two parts:

1. Basic math, eg long division. This is what all the commenters are focusing on, and I largely agree with folks - we need to keep teaching this.

2. HS / College math. E.g. memorizing all the rules to solve integral calculus equations. Or solving all those circuits in Intro to EE. I agree with Wolfram here. At this point, students should be mentally developed enough to start focusing on formalizing and reducing problems rather than rote memorization or hand calculations. It's good to go over all the rules and practice a few times. But to make a whole quarter of it seems a bit much.

> My knee jerk reaction to the title was a strong feeling that racist, sexist, and ageist tropes absolutely should be

How can we ever have our utopia, if there are hints in centuries-old stories that people were once racist or "ageist"? Why can Winston not stuff all these fairy tales down the memory hole?
I know plenty of math, but having more ignorant victims will make it easier.
I love this. An incredibly simple design for instant buoyancy. I'd think the device could be more affordable if there was additional competition. At $80 price-point it should include a small light (and/or sound) strobe that triggers for locating people in the dark. Gas cylinder refills are incredibly cheap and available everywhere. Makes a lot of sense to keep these around for open-water group swimming adventures, with swimmers of mixed strength.

I thought org mode (emacs macOS) and beorg (iOS) was it for me, but it's pretty terrible (on iOS). I just can't use beorg. I even paid for an extension to give the dev some money.

Yeah this was a big fear in posting. No I'm not experienced in academia or this would be a paper, I code things for fun. Have you tried looking at the math for multinomials vs Shannon? Or running the code? Please do point out my mistakes in the math.

LTSC is a fantastic solution if Windows is a need, but there is no getting around it that the only way you can use it, or most people, is via piracy.

You're ethically fine with it, but it's still a problem for many, even if purely due to legal concerns and not ethical ones.

I want to game as well, but thankfully most of what I want to run will run on Linux. GTA6 likely won't, and then I'll have to look at streaming with moonlight or something, or playing on a VM with GPU passthrough.

Qemu is making advances at allowing VMs to hide that they are VMs, so that might end up being a great solution.
