Seaweed grows very quickly. The historical production was much higher a hundred years ago, but there's been relatively little need for seaweed in recent decades. It would not be hard to farm more of it, if there were demand.

I would imagine the rent cartel folks had a block in place to keep NYC rents from dropping when all the Airbnbs eventually hit the market, and I bet NYC is collecting evidence from rents following this event to use against them.
Fantasy: Some $billionaire starts mentioning his plans to give ever-so-generous "gifts", to those members of Congress who vote to enlarge the Supreme Court's number of Justices...so far that the votes of the current SC Justices are irrelevant.
yes, I think so.
> If that is the case it isn’t the job of the Supreme Court to change them.

The Supreme Court changes laws all the time. Where is the line between "interpreting what laws mean" and "deciding what laws mean", i.e. changing law and making new law? The Supreme Court has been in the business of changing and making new law for a long time; this sitting court is just the worst example of it.

I built a library around this problem [1]. I recently did some experimenting with PaddleOCR but found the results very underwhelming (no spacing between text) - seems like it's heavily optimized for Chinese. There was a 3 year old GitHub issue around it and seems like it still has this issue out of the box. I'd be curious to hear other people's experience with it.

most projects are pretty generic. I've been on countless where they just want something that looks like everything else. If this can deliver that and I can do it without having to contract out a designer, it's a win.
Do you mean 3.5? While I still face issues with GPT 4, I can't even remember the last time it hallucinated. I'm not saying it can't. But, yeah, that's crazy that they're specifically targeting your IP address like that.
Calling something virtue signaling is not a dismissal of people caring about things other than profit. It's a statement of belief that they don't actually care about things other than profit and are just pretending that they do. There's a pretty clear financial incentive to virtue signal since getting the benefit of the doubt from society lets them make more profit with less scrutiny. There's also no benefit for society to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're being genuine.

Ooof, this is a really bad look. I had no idea he sympathized with a group of unarmed boomer LARPers. His technical positions should be immediately disregarded because he has the wrong opinions about due process applying to people who put their feet on someone's desk. What a Nazi.
All of the things you mentioned (save maybe layer lists) are why I fell in love with Keynote, and wish I could use it for all presentations.

Sadly, 99% of my time is spent in Google slides, which is like banging rocks together. Keynote's ability to do things like introspect into postscript/vector objects and align on lines within the object is one of those things that makes you re-evaluate how software should work.

I just wanted to praise Keynote, since it gets so little love.
Planning upfront like this inevitably leads to better design and less rework. I'll see that steps conflict and rewrite the plan before rewriting the code.

Sounds like literally the worst possible situation to defect. You are in totally foreign country, where you are trivially identified, can't hide and can't reach any other country which might support you. Additionally you are now a soldier who has defected, which obviously is an even worse crime than just defecting.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty familiar with CSP (I'm getting a degree in a related topic using a timed variant of it), though Go breaks from the formal CSP defintion language in a few ways (if nothing else vanilla CSP doesn't officially allow buffered channels).

I do find the Actor model a bit nicer at an engineering level, simply because I find being able to refer to things by name to be a bit more intuitive, and since Actors (at least in Erlang) can manage their own state it's a lot easier to kind of shape them into doing anything you want (e.g. buffered or non-buffered). I'm much less familiar with the formal definitions of Actors though.

It also doesn’t deliver what it promises, as it doesn’t discuss the cost well. The only thing it states is that it increases code size, but it doesn’t given give numbers, and the header “The gains of improved security coverage outweigh the cost” doesn’t describe its content, which says:

“We need a proper study of performance and code size to understand the magnitude of the impact created by _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 additional runtime code generation. However the performance and code size overhead may well be worth it due to the magnitude of improvement in security coverage.”
If they're assuming they're lying, and then the good thing doesn't happen proving they've lied, then that might be exhausting, but they'd also be correct lol. You're allowed to be angry at things that suck about the world.

I've been pretty trained that search in the modern era is pretty crap. Nearly all of what I see in the first few results are a cluster (it's all the same stuff), and it seems dumber at interpreting keywords than it used to be. Due to SEO algorithms the content is all anti-concise and rarely contains a succint how-to and almost never is cognizant of version differences. Your search is frequently hijacked by worse-than-optimal solutions or irrelevant stuff whose word jumble vaguely resembles your jumble of words.

It's not the case for everything, but it's often enough that search is just not really my first resort, especially in the case of someone telling me they did a thing I want to do: I want to know their solution, because it works, not trawl through ten pages of "When people use their iOS device, such as an iPad, iPod, iPad touch, iPad mini, blah blah blah." to see if "grayscale" is the same as a "gray filter" and doesn't have to do with image display, etc.
You're talking about duplicate discussions, but if HN trims query parameters then how can it tell if a submission to a site that relies on query parameters is a duplicate? Every URL on such sites would become identical, making different pages appear to be duplicates. That would dramatically hurt the visibility of such sites, unless HN turned off the automatic duplicate prevention for those sites, in which case the situation would be worse than the current situation.

The second half of your comment is again on the wrong side of the is/ought divide. Websites that (a) have content worth sharing and (b) use query parameters to identify a specific resource do in fact exist. The question is not whether those websites should be doing that, it is whether HN should make it impossible to link to specific resources on those websites or not.
He doesn't need to formally impose a conscription when military commisariats can effectively kidnap people and the propaganda can silence anyone who complains.

What happens often is that they send notices, "Please arrive at the military commisariat building for the update of your personal data." Then, when the person arrives, "please sign here, or you will not be able to leave," on a notice to undergo a medical checkup by military medics. The medics ignore diseases and say "you are ready to serve" even when documents from state-funded hospitals are presented, proving the opposite.

My own story: I live in the Philippines since March 7, 2022. According to Russian laws, just before 6 months of staying abroad, or before the planned trip that is expected to take more than 6 months, one must submit documents that prove that, and therefore, according to the Russian constitution, that one must not be counted for the purpose of recruiting into the army. I asked the local government officers for a certificate of residence and got it, albeit not confirming the initial period of my stay; they could only confirm the period since May 9, 2022 with their records. I also had a stamp in my passport confirming the date when I left. I submitted scans of both documents through the government portal, only to get, effectively, this in response:

"According to our records, you are still in Russia. If this is not true, please come to the military commissariat closest to your registered address in Russia and submit documents in person. You have two days to do that."

I didn't go there; therefore, my request was declined in the end, and they still claim the right to call me at any time for military service.

It is not possible to go from the Philippines to Russia, given only two days, simply because there is no such flight. Also, it is not possible (as in: every postal service refuses to accept it) to send any postal mail from the Philippines to Russia, due to sanctions, so I cannot avail of the option to send these documents by registered post.

Yes I understand that I must be jailed for this post. That's why the anonymous account.

I looked into this in 2013. At that point there was a "My Clippings.txt" file stored on the kindle that was accessible as a USB storage volume when plugged in. This file stored each annotation in plain text, along with the document ID and the start and ending location of the annotation.

Trouble was, the location was in the Kindle's "Loc" format which is nontrivial (at least to me at the time) to connect to specific text in the document.

I'm sure someone's probably worked this out by now?

If you watched the keynote, it was pretty clearly not cherry-picked or faked. It didn't come up with perfect images or text every time. It felt very much like what happens when you enter a prompt into a chat-based AI.

As additional proof that it was not faked, the CEO was clearly distracted by the notifications from hundreds of people requesting access to the live file he was demoing from, which was a pretty good live demo moment.
Sounds like a nice extension idea. Might hack something together over the weekend since I would like this as well

But increasingly that's what the supreme court has been doing. They are vastly overstepping their authority in multiple regards. More recent examples include their stance on the ability of congress to delegate authority to various agencies (See: the EPA restrictions on carbon emissions). It's very easily for the court to subvert the authority of other branches by forcing them to 'redelegate' or re-litigate previously authorized agencies knowing full well that congress has been in deadlock for partisan reasons.
Show HN: A Modern Palletization App
When searching on the internet for these type of apps, I didn't find many that were open-source AND easy to use. A lot of them had complicated interfaces, although they had loads of features as well.

So what I had in mind when making Stack Solver was an app with a modern interface that has the most essential features. It is also well integrated with Microsoft Excel and renders a 3D customizable drawing.

Stack Solver is programmed in C# using the WPF framework to ensure it is fast and light. The interface is built using WPF UI, a library that allows it to keep up with modern trends (specifically the Fluent design).

It is a work in progress with tons of new features planned and it is my first "serious" project so I would appreciate any feedback :)
What? 100% sales tax? No. 20-30% would do just fine. People have already run the numbers on this. Black markets already exist for under-the-table labor (tens of millions of illegal immigrants don't pay income tax). It's actually much harder to run a black market retail establishment as it requires public collusion and cash-based sales.

The economic output would increase as compliance costs would be reduced. Furthermore, you could roll forward investments without needing to pay income tax, so that would lead to a compounding effect on economic output.
Finding new constitutional rules in “emanations from penumbras” seems extremely over that line…
It is very easy to find such questions. A very recent example is a thread about AIs not having a concept of correlation:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40751756

In that thread multiple people posted wrong answers from GPT-4o but assumed that the answers were correct and praised the AI.

This matches my experience that anything that deviates from an encyclopedia lookup or web search is very likely to be wrong.

That sounds more expensive, but not impossible. Frankly, that's how much I used to pay for a room in Manhattan before AirBnB existed. I chalked it up as the reality of booking in the most populated city in the world.

I actually really like CUE. I use it kind of extensively as a YAML replacement where I can, and at my work we've done our best to integrate cue with our charts to validate the values used to invoke our charts and to unify the value space.

However there's something about a full blown general purpose language that is so much more flexible.

I don't think that the fact that people can and do write bad programs disqualifies general purpose languages from being great tools to build packages.

I am sure there is just as equally bad CUE, Jsonette, PKL, etc out there.

Other than CDK8s I don't know of other tools that have tried in this space to use general purpose languages to define their packages, and I think CDk8s uses are generally happy. Much more so than helm users at least.

I am not sure I can agree with this statement
> We’ve learned the hard way general purpose languages are poor for configuration at scale

I think we've just assumed this, or seen a pulumi project we didn't like working in.

I believe and hope there will be plenty of room to experiment and innovate in this space!

Never heard of this. So I went to the website to find out what it is. "Your pocket companion" the top of the website reads. Ok, don't know what that means. Scroll down "push to talk button", "conversational interface", and some other hardware features. Still no idea what it's for. They have a keynote video. I press play. It starts with them showing a bunch of press coverage and social media. Still no description of what it is. Not even a demo of what it does. I got several minutes into the video and it's all acting like I already know what it is. I've completely lost interest. Mystifyingly bad marketing.
I would love it, too!
What exactly do you think the supreme court’s job even is? You seem to have it exactly backwards. The framers spent enormous amounts of time and ink creating this system of separation of powers. Obviously it’s the job of the Supreme Court to police that. Much more so than finding new “rights” in emanations from penumbras.

that is an algorithm for a different problem; here we are looking for a zero, not an extremum, and we want to find all the zeroes (in a two-dimensional plane, so there are usually infinitely many zeroes), not just one of them

perhaps there is a way to apply it to this problem that is obvious to you but not to me

with autodiff we can use a zero-finding algorithm (even one that isn't derivative-free) to find extrema, but i don't know how you'd go about using an extremum-finding algorithm to find zeroes. the first step would seem to be quadrature? but that sounds impractical

Fascinating article. But early on I had one question - why is a blue that is made by sunlight hitting hair nanostructures considered a "simulation" thereby differentiating it from color made through sunlight interaction with biochemistry of surfaces and subsurfaces?

To draw that out further, by the same logic we might consider properties of human-made metamaterials also simulations?

Try-catch is awful if you're forcing it in a language that doesn't really support it. I provided a JS try-catch example above; is there something wrong with it?

The recover is still function-wide in your example, which is what I said. You can nest funcs just to deal with this, but it's ugly, and code reviewers won't like it. I use Go on my team, and yeah I'm not as expert as the team who created Go here, but idk why you keep saying I've never used it. My complaint about "if err" is pretty common among Go users, who would understand the joke of calling it "Errlang."
It's not PowerPoint ala 97 with spinning text. It's highlights or a story based presentation where thing unfolds, or perhaps interacting with something without leaving the slides.

You don't want static for all kinds of presentations, that's hyperbole.

I wonder if the percentage of the world economy that is based on crime has increased in recent years due to the ease of commiting crimes on the internet. Everybodies identity has been stolen multiple times, everything is hackable; seems like that would have accelerated crime. Maybe it explains the drop in violent crimes, it's so much easier to just buy stolen credit cards on the dark web or buy an automated ransomware attack suite than to fight a gang war? An essential driver behind crime seems to be laziness, criminals don't want to work for a living, they'd rather take resources from others because it seems easier. Cybercrime may be the easiest, lowest risk crime ever (other than forming a corporation :-)
