It also has some additional use cases. You can now also do delta compression, where as an asset updates the server only has to ship deltas.

Amusingly this could also be extremely useful for bundlers. But I do hope we see modules on the web happen. With http3 and early hints and deferred imports (required to improve time to load, recently advanced to stage 2.7), it feels like the window of possibility is reopening.

Good news! Mozilla seems to be updating their zstd position to positive, after compression dictionary work unblocked there concerns about dictionaries. As of 4 days ago! https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/pull/1042
Its not the refusal of certain groups of people that causes the cleanliness issue. Its the fact the bus doesn’t see a custodian until its out of service. The difference in cleanliness between poor and dirty areas and rich and clean areas of a city always comes down to investment in routine custodial service vs any behavioral difference. Rich people litter just as much, more sometimes knowing theres someone to clean it up.
I don't feel out of place.

I feel frustration and in some situations, contempt: with both sides, with the situation, with the collective decisions, and lack thereof that got us here, with the hoi polloi getting distracted,yet again, by their corporate masters (1), by a system eternally being ransacked by executives; executives so inept and profoundly sociopathic that they aren't even aware there's a quiet part not to say out loud.

(The contempt isn't evenly distributed, fwiw)

Hah same - especially in the beginning - all the moves looked like programming functions - inputs and outputs, state mutations etc.

Thing is, the more I learned the more I started to use internally consistent vocabulary, so I no longer needed analogs, but would construct new moves from older simpler ones.

I don’t think though that this article captures the complexity of of social dance, maybe that’s why its so universally fun? Its not just arms, legs and body positions - there is weight transfer, musicality, disparity between partner’s skill levels, let alone all other dancers around you that you need to track so as not to have an accident. And thats before you start adding shines, styling and body movement.

There _is_ an underlying system of course - every move has a finite possible exits, if you dance “by the rules” but dance evolution is all about breaking those rules. And if you’re at that level, you can start mixing other dances into your move set … Its all incredibly hard to reason about.

Maybe thats why the gold standard is just to record your lessons and get back to them when you want to.

Show HN: A Laravel and Vue SaaS Boilerplate
I created a boilerplate for Laravel and Vue (Inertia) with the core features setup for starting a SaaS project allowing you to focus on what's important.

The boilerplate includes Stripe for payments with Laravel Cashier and Mailgun integrarion. All on top of the Jetstream starter kit with the benefits of 2FA, session managment, account profile, auth, etc.

Any and all feedback is appreciated and you can read more on the github repo page :)

I like how the response was "falsify the metric data" because an ape in a suit somewhere demanded a "correct" metric. And were rewarded for their falsification. There's an Aesop's Fables story in there somewhere. I wonder how many metrics people depend on, like jobs data, get the "change the data" to suit ape in suit's needs?

Strictly speaking, you're correct, so I don't disagree with your comment. However, assuming MvDonald's recollections are correct and his explanation of the story is accurate, Morton Thiokol was doing an excellent job. The O-Ring seal issue was on track to be solved as they switched to a lighter-weight filament-wound case. According to McDonald, Morton Thiokol was receiving high marks on their contract evaluations, and Marshall was trying to move the contract to a company that had a lot of ex-Marshall employees.

Yeah, it is the standard idea of limits-of-rationals, but within the intuitionist logic that Brouwer championed.

The easy semantics for intuitionist logic is that every statement is about provability: “A or B or C” is a statement that one or more of these 3 proofs has been supplied.

Where this gets a little bit funky is, you can still take an open mathematical problem and still encode it into the reals: “The nth bit of this number r is 1 if n is a counterexample to the conjecture, or else 0 if not.” If for each n that problem is decidable in a finite number of steps, then this is a perfectly good intuitionistic predicate with which to define a number, and so Goldbach’s conjecture for example can be phrased as “is the Goldbach real equal to 0?” You can do that in the classical approach and Brouwer doesn't limit this too much.

But, now you want to assert that “the Goldbach real number is either 0 or positive.” Because you know it is on the range [0, 1] by construction, right?! But no no no no no, if you want to stay that it is either 0 or positive, you have to furnish me with either a proof that it is 0 (solving the Goldbach conjecture in the affirmative), or a proof that it is positive (solving the Goldbach conjecture in the negative). So you have to come up with alternative ways to talk about the order on the real numbers because ordering statements are this classic example where people love to use the very law of the excluded middle that Brouwer has forbidden.

From what I read in this paper, it seems like the authors are depending on some very strict definition of what can be considered language. Can anyone provide more context on what definition they're using?

I ask because certain assumptions that seem to be built into the paper and its references seem to exclude a lot of things that I would personally consider other forms of language. For example, they say the subjects with impairments to the parts of the brain supposedly required for speech could "follow non-verbal
instructions" and "understand what another person believes". What makes those exchanges distinct from use of language, albeit a poorly defined one? I know nothing about this field of study, so I assume there's some assumptions and definitions they aren't stating explicitly. It seems weird to me that they say "these
representations need not be specifically linguistic: they could
be symbolic but non-linguistic (for example, ‘9’), and the use of
symbolic non-linguistic representations does not engage linguistic
resources (for example, mathematical reasoning elicits no response
in the language brain areas and is preserved in individuals with
severe aphasia". Why not go back and question the initial assumption that all language depends on those specific parts of the brain? Why are symbols not language?
There is no cure for stupid.

They are definitely much more skilled in shutting off the light in summer, especially in bedrooms.

Comparing Radom 51°N and Trondheim 63°N or even cities in Norway further out north, every single bedroom has proper shades.

>Install a specific app version from flatpak, download binaries, or compile it yourself for your current system.

Then you can't have those dependencies managed by a package manager, which means you'll constantly be compiling (and dealing with conflicts yourself). This is not a viable path forward as it seems to be presented here.

In LA county the newer lrt is fine. The old purple and red car trains though are disgusting even when they are clean. Theres usually a constant unpleasant background smell, halfway between stale cigarette and old puke, the cars are usually hot as hell causing everyone to sweat, and sometimes the already quite poor and noisy ventilation is off entirely in the traincar. It also doesn’t help that the aesthetic is beige and brown 90s style, which makes it even more dirty looking than the newer grey and stainless interiors. Most of the stations are overdue for a power washing. Especially down in the tracking thats full of trash and pee. Its not bad enough to be a deal breaker to me even with the occasional tweaker actively smoking some rock, but still its not pleasant.

the two-sidedness of Shogi pieces is to deal with promotions, not control.

the pieces have a pointy end, which indicates control; you just rotate the piece so it's pointing the correct way when you drop it. when promoted pieces are captured, they also do lose their promoted status.

you can indeed DIY an OTB crazyhouse set with either flippable or directional pieces (here, you can use a marker to mark 180-rotational symmetric chess pieces so they have a "front") though, or even just use a Shogi set to do so with a piece mapping (ignoring the promoted side).
Just want to say:

We have no idea what the size or scope of the spectrum of intelligence is. Everything about intelligence that people discuss uses the human brain as the measuring stick.

However, it's unlikely that the human intelligence measuring stick is anything more than a rounding error on the total span of possible intelligence. The same way astronomers ditched the kilometer once they discovered how vast space was.

To put it another way, I think it's very foolish to think passing human intelligence (once the right scaling model is found) will be any more difficult than making a 1GB SD card or achieving 100 MIPS. We'll probably blow right past it.
Read up some on that law because precedent is rather down on mass corporate use.
I'm pretty sure OP wasn't suggesting that we light it on fire or try to recycle it. They were suggesting that we use some of the materials that our biosphere has naturally figured out how to recycle whenever possible. I'd suggest that we increase the price of plastics to try to account for these externalities, similar to what we should do for HFCS (and sugar generally) per your comment.

Plastics' reproductive harm is very well established in marine life and early studies in mammalian life is pretty much in line with it. This stuff is almost certainly very bad, and we're using it for absolutely everything due to its rather fantastic properties and extremely low cost.

Agreed for obesity, there are more significant (and more addressable) causes -- but that's still quite far from "these are inert."

Those 3 68000 based machines did ok against the PC until the 486 arrived. At that point all Motorola had was the 68030, and it wasn't enough progression. If the processor line had had more legs, then maybe Commodore and Atari could've remained competitive. I think they both did 68030 based machines, but it was too small a step.

Then it became a battle of operating systems.

These training dataset arguments, that act like “fair use” isn’t a real thing that’s written into copyright law, are getting old and intellectually disingenuous.

This statement is false in so many circumstances: ‘The “public” in “public web” means free to access; it does not mean it's free to use.’ What is access without use even?

Because there are plenty of ways I can use that public content without the copyright holder having any say. It could be satire, quoting sizable sections of text, making a parody, teaching, news, etc.

Maybe you don’t think AI training should count as fair use, but there are countless ways already to create transformative/derivative works of from others copyrighted works without their consent.

This isn’t anywhere close to the black and white problem so many make it out to be.
Merges I create from the CLI don't really look that differennt from the ones through some forge UI PR process. I don't know what Linus is getting at. If I was working under someone who had a process like this, I could ask them to clarify what they wanted me to do. I don't have that. And I need to be able to justify all of my decisions. So this isn't useful to me.

I don't doubt that Linus has good reasons for all this. I just don't know what they are. And I don't know if they're applicable to other repos.
Because the language works by textual inclusion and so a "translation unit" isn't really just your code this is much more likely to result in nasty surprises, up to and including ODR violations.

If a human copies or traces over another artist's work and then presents it as their own, that's widely considered immoral and in some cases it's illegal.

The difference between taking inspiration from other work and copying that work relies on the actions and intent, but in the case of AI both of those are obfuscated and we only see the end result.

I think this makes it very difficult to gauge whether particular AI work is problematic.

I think this is a huge oversimplification. Just as intelligence can be either effective or ineffective or even destructive, so can love or emotionalism. We can do things in the name of love or compassion that are actually harmful.

A classic example would be cultural traditionalism trying to hold onto some kind of authenticity but really just creating tyranny and repression, or attempts to rein in the worst parts of capitalism that backfire and impoverish people.

Meanwhile the coldest reason can deliver a lot of compassion. The Haber process for cracking atmospheric nitrogen probably saved more lives than all the saints in history.
I know the feeling. Recently I switched to Linux because of it. Now I’m running:

Manjaro Cinnamon LTE: I know there’s some controversy with Manjaro, but it’s been working fine for me and it drastically increased my laptop’s battery life.

AtlasOS, a trimmed down version of Windows 11 for gaming: I know it’s a bit controversial as well, but I’ll never install or store anything sensitive in it. Only games.
For work I use a calendar (Outlook) as a todo list. A task gets added to a date and time in the future so I know I can't forget it. When the day comes, I either do the thing, or I postpone it to a later date. For clarity: I don't use the taskplanner, but add tasks as appointments in the calendar.

This solves, for me, the problem of picking the 'right' thing to do from my list. I just do the things for that day. Be flexible, when you have extra time you can pull things closer, when it's balls to the wall, just shift some tasks to a later date.

I've been doing this for about 25 years, it works for me, might work for others too.

edit: I don't do notes, as such. Never felt the need to write something down that I won't ever look at again anyway.
Having destructible objects is in no way possible on contemporary hardware, unless you simplify the physics to the extreme. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your statement?

Recognising objects for what they are has only recently become somewhat possible. Separating them in a 3D scan is still pretty much impossible.
I was just showcasing that you can have both - there is regular string interpolation and there are APIs to accept interpolated expressions and then handle them arbitrarily (you can't pass a regular string produced by an interpolation to FromSql(expr), only to FromSqlRaw which makes IDE yell at you to make sure you know what you are doing), without even having to materialize the string if that isn't the intention.

Java ended up having neither which seems rather extreme.
"Seven at One Blow" is certainly not a proverb that everyone knows in English; it's the name of the fairytale in English, but not something that people use to mean "bamboozle".

It's simply the case that Chinese relies far more on literary/historical allusions (chengyu) than English does. We might talk about someone's "Achilles heel" or a "Trojan horse", but these literary/historical allusions are simply nowhere near as common as chengyu in Chinese.

The concept of holes is important, but it doesn't have much practical use. It typically only comes up when you're discussing the physics of how semiconductors work, or doing similar electron-level analysis of a component.

It's also usually brought up early on when teaching new students about circuit physics, but it's really not something that comes up in an EE's day to day.

Maybe it's more relevant if you're deep into analog or RF black magic, I wouldn't know.

In general, no. Copyright is the exclusive right to copy.
