I have bad news for you about how cinematography has operated for decades, much as painters have used harmonic armature for centuries.
I'd expect them to do better when the input uses words that appear more in the training data.

This very thread is the fifth hit on Google for `"forques" geometric algebra`; the third and fourth hit are the same paper as each other; the second hit is https://bivector.net/PGAdyn.pdf which appears to have invented the term; and the first hit doesn't define it.

I (logic, computability, set and type theory) am in no position to know whether it's a standard term in geometric algebra, but I do strongly expect LLMs to do much worse on queries that don't appear much in their training set (for which I take Google search results as a proxy); even if they have the knowledge to answer, I expect them to answer better when the question uses common words. I do know that when I asked your question to ChatGPT, it silently re-spelt "forques" as "torques".
It means a judge can, if they so choose, decide if an ATF rule is lawful or not instead of the ATF itself always having the final say. Speaking of the ATF, it took a Supreme Court ruling to get ammonium perchlorate off the explosives list so model rocketry could continue as a hobby. With this ruling, a case like that wouldn’t have to go all the way to the Supreme Court. This is a good thing.
> The silver lining might be that while now they are starting to say how old they feel (I'm basically the same age as you), I'll often tell them that I don't feel any older.

As someone with chronic back pain since my late teens, this is... a nice perspective. My friend group isn't old enough yet for it to come up very often but I feel like I can relate.
Not really, copyright and trade secrets have different subject matter. There are many things could qualify as trade secrets but not creative works (e.g. a recipe), and many things that qualify as creative works but not trade secrets (e.g. a song).
Show HN: Header-Only Physics Library for Raylib in 500 LOC
I have always loved making small physics demos, but this time I made it into a library so I can reuse it in my projects.
1g per kg is nowhere near enough to protect against bad reactions. Sounds like Switzerland is making a mostly laughable attempt, not doing much.

I have had a rather unpleasant day due to an unknown contaminant in approximately 10mg of material as part of a day's food. Obviously the contaminant was well under 10mg.
Oh wow, that be the coolest thing ever to have a reading group for this book, which is also at the intersection of multiple of my interests, and I've had my eye on it for years. I want to learn classical mechanics at a much deeper conceptual level, and I want to absorb new, powerful uses of Lisp abstraction, and writing toy physics simulations is of course always fun. I have so many bits and pieces of weekend projects that sort-of lead into SICM, and things like it. Sadly, I'm temporarily on the wrong continent for Bay Area meetup groups. (Maybe this is an error state).

I hope you serendipitously manage to find your ideal reading group, nanomonkey.
You report the bug and wait for it to be fixed, and meanwhile you have a working computer and can get on with what you originally wanted to use your computer for.

Those were the same in Grants Pass. And nearly 40% of cities according to a cited brief.
My experience is, that it also depends on when. Most of the time, it clearly had some positive effect on me, but sometimes, it didn’t improve my mood at all.
Arguably Chevron made it easier for Congress to abdicate its responsibility.

> Does this decision do that, or does it just move the accumulation of power to a different branch?

Yes, it does do that; no it does not move the accumulation of power to a different branch. It restores the distribution of power among the distinct branches of government, and stops executive-branch agencies from operating as legislature, executive, and judiciary all rolled into one.

But the Golden Mean is unequivocally and fundamentally distinct from the rule of thirds.

If you want to be anally precise, sure. If you are just using it as a rule of thumb for where it is pleasing to put the subject of your composition, which covers a good quarter of the horizontal extent of your canvas, there is little difference in practice. Especially if your canvas’ proportions are close to the golden ratio.

Like every “rule” of art, it’s more of a guideline. Do this and your picture will probably come out better than if you don’t do it; if you’re going to break one rule or another, then break the fuck out of it and make sure you’re not breaking any other rules unintentionally.
That article says they were probably teenagers, not young children.

> After interviewing residents of Sidi Bou Said who had known the philosopher, his report concluded: "Michel Foucault was not a paedophile, but he was seduced by the young Ephebes."

Not exactly vindicating, but not the same level of horror, I suppose. It's not exactly a crazy idea given Foucault's own words quoted elsewhere in this thread.
You do get some very large deposits of mostly pure iron, all of which in Europe would be fully mined out by now. Here's a mine in Northern Canada near my own which has 60-70% pure iron ore (truly astronomically high purity compared to ores for other metals).
Why breaking things or going for a run doesn't make you less angry
Yep, that's because the entire issue has become ideological and politicized, just like every other idea in the public consciousness nowadays. Politics seem to be the goal for everything, rather than fact-based or informed opinion-based discussion. The only ones who benefit are the bureaucracy and the con artists who need the discourse and the tribalism to get money and power.

> Seems like sociopathic behavior to me, which these professions tend to attract

Yeah professions like finance both attract and reward sociopathic behavior.
Austen Allred posted a defense of getting rid of Chevron, but in a lot of ways, this seems like it could have the opposite impact that he predicts, this makes predicting legal outcomes even harder for small companies and it may further benefit large companies that can understand the nuances of how all the different judges will respond.
It’s not a mystery, Congress delegated their authority to the executive branch willingly.
Genetics are a poor proxy for ethnicity. There are many who would even refer to the use of blood quantum (e.g. 23-and-me) to determine ethnicity as a form of race (pseudo)science.

Huh? Salt is one of the most important foundational elements of basically all cooking.
Why do you think a crippled group of 500 generalists should write every single detail of regulatory code for every facet of American life?

Why do you think federal agencies are arbiters of their own authority? Congress created them, Congress can reel them in.

I don't mean to say that executive agencies shouldn't be held to the Constitution or the law. Who says they shouldn't? But they should be allowed to have a broad mandate.

Maybe, MAYBE some kind of rubber stamp process where legislators get a 90 day window on rejecting new regulations with a "default approve". But I have no faith that a modern society can have all rules and edge cases pre-emptively defined in law.
There are two models.

- foundation model is pretrained on asm and ir. Then it is trained to emulate the compiler (ir + passes -> ir or asm)

- ftd model is fine tuned for solving phase ordering and disassembling

FTD is there to demo capabilities. We hope people will fine tune for other optimisations. It will be much, much cheaper than starting from scratch.

Yep, correctness in compilers is a pain. Auto-tuning is a very easy way to break a compiler.
Well, Windows UAC was the last user facing push for security. It remains to be seen what Satya thinks, especially of the recent security failures on the backend (the windows client vulnerabilities is a constant and has always been).

The recent "insecurity" pushes are more of getting microsoft to "catch up" to google/facebook in terms of making their users a product they can sell. I'm sure they feel left out as chromebooks have eatin' into their market and supply such nice metrics for advertisers.

I don’t know about Elixir, but Gleam looks promising. Even less IDE support than Elixir right now though.
Huh, not my experience at all? Going for a run is a great way to get less angry, meditation often not so much.
The distinction I’m talking about is marking the feature milestone for deployment but not counting the feature as done until the toggle is dispensed with. Either removed, or declared a configuration we intend to keep indefinitely.

Admittedly, there’s still a gap there where a toggle may be needed until the end of an initiative (an Epic in Scrum terms) but that’s going to be at least an order of magnitude, and likely 2 orders, fewer toggles to deal with.

When the order of magnitude changes so does the solution.

> What if just all municipalities forbid homeless encampments?

If all municipalities did this instantly and provided transportation to the homeless - either unincorporated parts of a state, or jail, most would choose jail. Nobody wants to try to survive in the wilderness.
Get it into the Debian repos and I'll try it. If it's a good replacement for vscode, getting it into the major distros will get them a massive userbase in a month. Most people don't want to install MS garbage on their computer, and they are willing to take a mild quality hit in order to avoid it.

Otherwise I'm not messing with something likely to disappear randomly. I value my workflow.
What you should truly remember in Olympic sports like this is that really only the top 1% should care about this and even then those people probably not.

But if you're in any sort of participatory level don't bother
> I understand why Yiddish speakers would not want to believe Yiddish is Germanic.

I don't think there's any controversy among Yiddish speakers that Yiddish is primarily Germanic. This is a recurring theme in Ashkenazi literature: Yiddish is understood to be the מאַמע־לשין -- the mother tongue, essentially grounded and practical, in contrast with Hebrew.

(Yiddish speakers might find the (non-joking) assertion that Yiddish is just broken German offensive, however. Or similarly, that Yiddish's non-German components are somehow less desirable than its German ones.)

Ask HN: Stripe Atlas messed up my 83B election what do I do? [fixed]
Formed my new startup with Stripe Atlas which had worked well in the past.

I used their auto 83b feature to mail in our 83b elections, the UI updated and said everything was good.

I received an email update
> Great news! Your 83(b) election was filed on time.

I go to get a copy of my EIN letter and notice that the atlas UI has updated to:

> Your IRS 83(b) election deadline has passed.

> We’ve noticed it’s taking longer than normal for USPS to deliver your 83(b) election. Not to worry, you’ve successfully filed on time (it’s based on the postmark date, not delivery date).

The Proof of Timely Election letter and USPS tracking site both say the letter is "In Transit To Next Facility, Arriving Late".

This letter was sent over a month ago.

What are my options now?

* Contact the IRS to see if it was delivered

* Continue with my equity in a non-tax advantaged status

* Dissolve and reform the company

* Talk to a talk lawyer and figure out some tax trickery.

Has anyone had to deal with this before?
You imply that Chevron is a big reason for why Congress has become ineffective. I think you're right.
>I'm sure Futures events are isolating and lonely, but it seems the author was quick to cast judgment on the players who prioritized socializing over winning at all costs.

I'm not so sure. These guys don't earn jack shit, even if they win small Futures/Challengers. Taxes, equipment, travel, etc.. adds up quickly. Forget about coaching at that level.

Not the right environment to go party with someone one night and then have to beat them the next day in order to put food on the table.

Keep in mind that at this level, tennis is fucking insanely hard. A few guys from my high school tried that level (they all played D1 at top schools, a few were top 20 USTA as juniors, one made top 3 ITF and was highly ranked within the college game) and none of them fared well.

These (challengers/futures level players) aren't some random scrubs - these are often times guys who either played top college ball, or guys who were top 100 ITF juniors (or top player in their country/region) who never had the game to get to the next level, or guys who were just not quite good enough to make top 100 ATP and need to grind every day to get auto entry to qualies at majors or ATP Masters events.
Because of Chevron.
In fairness, ULA has done that too.

> Sure it is. Features like Recall, which the article mentions, are insecure by design.

I'm going to be honest: I'm not bothered about Recall security. It'd be on a single user machine which contains my data anyway. There are many more tasty morsels out there if a keylogger gets on it. Like the contents of my Keepass DB or my online banking PIN, neither of which Recall would be party to but anything that runs as my user shouldn't be able to see. Plus I'd probably turn it off anyway. I mean I do appreciate people kicking them in the balls which is due.

I'm not sure how this is any more secure than "Unix side". But in any case the security holes in Windows are not problems with its filesystem (at least not now that FAT is no longer used).

As for ACLs, check NT kernel architecture, particularly object security descriptors. Particularly Windows 2000 onwards. Quite elegantly put together, but with layers of crap over them.

>Which in a properly configured Unix system is your user and root, and that's it. So don't run things you don't trust as your user or root. Which should be obvious common sense to anyone who uses a computer.

This is incredibly generic. Too generic to:

a) help you build anything useful

b) craft a value prop that any customer would find compelling

c) help the users here give you any real advice.

1. Get really clear on your ICP first https://salesroads.com/tactics/icp-sales/

2. Be able to answer “why you” if your market is too generic you likely don’t have a strong story here. Why is this the most important thing to build right now for your customers and why are you uniquely suited to building it?
Congress also possesses a variety of tools to limit obstructionism if it so desires.

But a more important point - is that congress is a tool of democracy itself and is a reflection of the attitudes and desires of the populace. If populace no longer has the aptitude to apply its rights to elect the government that serves its interests - then it will experience the consequences of such negligence and learn from them, which is also its right.

Refusing it that right is something much worse - authoritarianism when an individual or a group gets to pick winners or losers.

I always thought the rule of thirds was interesting, because often you could chop a photo down the center, and still get two semi-competent photographs.
> 1. It's probably not gross negligence - gross negligence is an extreme departure from ordinary standards of care - the ordinary standard here seems to be to suck at security :)

how hard it is to find a single company which does it right to testify? and then defense would have to find experts and several other legal counsels from similarly sized companies willing to testify that they also "do it wrong as a norm", with the extremely high risk of being included in the malpratice claim if the defense fails.
You should read Gorsuch's concurrence. It's all about the meaning of "common law" and "stare decisis". It's quite educational and even eye opening.
> I mean, isn't the possibility of any of the major cloud vendors getting 'hacked', or cryptolocked, one of the biggest threads to any country?

Right, but I think the point in this case is that Microsoft was rent seeking with the logs.

To your point, I’ve been wondering lately how much of a national security threat outsourcing, offshoring and H1B in tech poses more generally.

Karma anxiety inducing echo chamber.

What is decent exists: FMS with Web of Trust moderating, on Freenet/Hyphanet. It's 4chan style anyone-can-post with non-destructive subscription-based moderation.
It can emulate the compiler (IR + passes -> IR or ASM).

> What would be more interesting is training a large model on pure (code, assembly) pairs like a normal translation task.

It is that.

> Presumably a very generalized model would be good at even doing the inverse: given some assembly, write code that will produce the given assembly.

Is has been trained to disassemble. It is much, much better than other models at that.
This is oriented towards Multics. As i understand it GCOS is heavily encumbered with license issues so it's pretty much inaccessible.
Eclipse Theia IDE is to Eclipse as Visual Studio Code is to Visual Studio?

I think the naming is much less interesting/important than the idea, but lots of folks seem only interested in whether the name is good or bad. In my experience, a good project tends to eventually live by a good name, and the early focus should be on the outcome. It looks to me like the folks behind this project know exactly what they’re doing.
I use Eclipse desktop regularly. It has its quirks, as most all source software does, but it's more than sufficient to get the job done.

In the same vain, I did try to learn the ins-outs of vscode and I wasn't impressed after a few months. It has about the 1/16 of the capabilities of Eclipse, and things are very broken pretty much 100% of the time, or it'll suddenly break when something auto updates. It's also, just obnoxious to use: popups, distractions that never go away, settings are in a schema-less json, and a completely incoherent user experience when you do something as minor as switch plugins. Compare that to regular ol' Eclipse, which presents a unified editing interface for every language and file type.

I used IntelliJ for a brief stint and I would say it's very polished and a lot of small annoyances with Eclipse it doesn't have, and it exceeds Eclipse in several areas, but not to the point where I would go relearn an entire tool. So yeah... I'll probably just stick with Eclipse until I can't anymore!

> This seems really inefficient though. Do we really want top-down authority of decision making like this?

No, which is why we want the people previously free to make top-down decisions, i.e. executive-branch agencies, to be subject to judicial oversight when attempting to read new powers for themselves into the law. Doing away with Chevron restores that oversight.
I once joined a Clojure group for reading SICM. But then the discussion turned out to be more about porting the stuff to Clojure than physics.
