How's about super massive black holes are massive enough their gravity well accelerates the mass being captured faster than the speed of light, and they plunge back in time. The Universe is self regenerating, by sending super massive black holes back to the beginning of time, where they explode into our universe. Or something like that. Maybe, maybe not.
Show HN: Faktor – The missing 2FA code autocomplete for Chrome
Hi everyone, Kenneth here. As a loyal Chrome user, I was frustrated that one of Apple's most loved features from Safari and iOS wasn't available in Chrome. So, I built Faktor—a tool that grabs 2FA security codes from your iPhone and autofills them in Google Chrome on your Mac.

Faktor is a native macOS app with a small Chrome extension, and once you install Faktor its easy to forget that this functionality isn't native to Chrome.

Enjoy!

I actually work on NEO Surveyor telescope (surveying for dangerous asteroids), writing the simulation code use to track expected performance. So simulating +20 million asteroids and what will be visible during the mission. Motion is how we determine if there is an asteroid or just some static sky source (IE: star).

However your comment is not correct, everything moves, even in the days leading up to a potential impact things are constantly in motion. The only asteroids which appear stationary actually tend to be quite far away and just happen to be moving at just the right speed.

Things which are close to us, even impactors tend to have large angular velocities, very VERY few things come directly radially in. A part of this is that the Earth is rotating, if you are familiar with the parallax effect then the Earths rotation causes parallactic motion of the asteroids when close. IE, take a photo, wait 4 hours, and you, an observer on Earth, has now moved. The geometry has to be just right for close objects to be stationary, and a different observing position on Earth (or space) will see the object moving even if you see it stationary.
Being so visual and using a binary file format, Figma is a great test case in the limits of current gen LLMs. I imagine that in the medium term they will move towards relatively novel approaches rather than the finer tuned LLMs that they are presumably using right now.

They have a billion dollars to put to work after all.

Yet much of the distribution seemed like stuff that was related, but got put way off somewhere without any clear link. I ended up finding angularJS refs way out in the border.

A) Great article, thanks for posting! I would say the headline is a little bit of clickbait (the "complication" implied there is that he had complicated feelings about Ireland, plus maybe some sexual kink stuff), but in 2024 I can't complain. After all, as an ex-Adsense employee, it's more my fault than theirs!

B) "From then on, Joyce lived in Europe." Isn't Ireland in Europe...?

C)

“Just as ancient Egypt is dead,” he wrote, “so is ancient Ireland.” His aim was not to become bound to a romanticised notion of the Irish past, but to show modern Ireland to itself and to make an Irish literature that was truly European."

A beautiful notion... Will definitely be rattling around in my head as I think about modern nationalism and the extent to which its ever okay to talk about "western civilization" or "athenian legacy" and such with a straight face. Ditto for the "founding fathers" of the USA, really... I'm hopeful we can build a truly global American culture, and hopefully with a bit less bloodshed than secularism cost Europe.

D) If this essay interested you and you haven't read The Hyperion Cantos, I highly highly recommend it! Simmons employs Joyce as a central motif throughout the series, which I recall being somewhat confounding at the time, but likely eye-opening if you're familiar with the man's work!

So many link shortners eventually shut down due to people trying to obfuscate illegal stuff. Have you had any issue yet with that?
No. Because the model should and will replace any piece of code. This is what happened already for other tasks, in computer vision, text (entity recognition, etc...), audio, etc.

"some" is doing a lot of work in this sentence. Recovering enough to have "at least some" independence after several months is not a great outcome. That very likely means lifelong daily care is required.

Ugh, that sounds familiar.

Hi, I'm the person who wrote that code. We're not trying to harass people for money and it's been designed in a way I think is fair.

The unpaid reminder appears in the settings screen after the app is installed for 30 days, and once it appears there's a button that lets you postpone the reminder for up to infinity days. Of course nothing stops you from also just tapping "I already paid".

We don't validate license keys in FUTO Keyboard, we just have a payment system that issues them. The app can't connect to the internet, so it's not like there's an easy way to verify them anyway or stop people from just posting their key online.

I haven't ever seen a server with 8x H100 NVL 188GB. The H100 NVL has 94GB of VRAM but they sell them in pairs connected with NVLink, so I guess they sometimes market them as 188GB, but in fact it's two cards and a server usually has 4 pairs.
I work on NEO Surveyor, I replied to the parent comment largely agreeing with you, however I wanted to mention that we do rely on apparent motion for determining if a source is moving (asteroid/comet). However IR is ideal for spotting asteroids for a few different reasons, a big one is that asteroids have a wide range of surface brightness. Think bright concrete to black coal, so in the visible spectrum a 100m light stony asteroid can be just as bright as a 500m coal colored one. It is very difficult to determine size from the brightness alone. However in IR everything is approximately the same temperature (largely proportional to the distance from the sun), so these things all glow in the IR directly proportional to their diameter.

I've been using their Voice Input for a few months now and really like it. My only issue is that it buffers the input and then spews it all when you stop speaking, but I guess that helps the model to be more contextually accurate.

This isn’t the first time it happened. When MtGox went insolvent, the price of bitcoin tanked and they had enough cash on hand to replace everyone’s funds, but the lawyers said no because there wasn’t enough fees.

This whole thing should have been resolved years ago, I still get bankruptcy emails and I feel bad for the poor soul who has to waste his whole career fighting over who gets the remaining sliver of money instead of doing something productive.
This is just blatantly wrong. Look at how many votes it takes to seat a Wyoming senator versus a New York senator. Look at the electoral college.

> The survey would have a filter for people who believe in evolution and survival of the fittest.

Just means that the survey would ask that question. I'm guessing that GP wants to check whether those who believe in the Darwin awards as well as the moral justness of evolutionary pressure killing certain people earlier that other people, would be more opposed to using modern medicine to keep people alive.

Maybe? It really depends because modern medicine is part of social Darwinism, even though it is against evolutionary biological survival of the fittest. So I could see this going multiple ways among this subset of people. I'd expect the richest of them to believe both in medical extension of life (and fertility treatments) as well as believing that only those who can personally, or societally, afford such intervention should get it. This may be the dissonance GP is mentioning.
It’s usually the second exposure that causes the reaction.

There are plenty of anecdotes of close calls. EMTs carry epipens for this reason. And occasionally it’s tragic when one is not administered in time.

But ingestion is not the only way to learn that you have a severe allergy. Skin contact with the allergen with usually result in bad hives. When this happens with a child, it’s scary and tends to result in an appointment with an allergist, who can assess the severity with skin tests and blood draws.

I had an epipen on-hand when my child ate hummus the second time, and started going into anaphylactic shock. They had had a bad hive reaction to spilled milk, so we had already seen the allergist for milk allergies, which were severe enough to warrant an epipen.

It was a terrifying event, and I am very thankful that we had the epipen and that my child did not have a second wave reaction.

It should be noted that the American system also does not give FTX creditors this kind of windfall - under US bankruptcy law, their claims were effectively converted to dollars at the time of the bankruptcy, and they see no benefit from increased crypto prices since then.

Correct, but JIRA is not SCRUM.

Why does the author mention JIRA as a process? Does he find it slow or convoluted compared to other tools? Or does he think that using JIRA means a PM is forcing the team to follow an unwanted process?
I'm not the GP, but a social Darwinist would presumably be in favor of medical extension of life (for those who can access it), while a moral evolutionist would presumably be against it. I think there is the possibility of a philosophical dissonance here in some of the Randian types.
I agree that a bookshould be written for its intrinsic value, but it's possible to have an extrinsic value as well: even if you don't sell many it could be a credibility tool for a consulting or (shudder) 'influencer' campaign.
I would also agree that the common sense definition of open source should be public/accessible code. But FOSS is a well-established movement and anyone involved with software development should be well-acquainted with Free vs Open.

> "Feeling native" is overrated. Most users want a fast reponsive UI, THAT kind of "native".

We seem to have forgotten it now, but back in the day we had this idea that a platform should have a standard UI to which all applications conform, so that the user can transfer knowledge in using one application to all the others, and they don't have to memorize a dozen different ways of operating to use a dozen different applications.

To that end, dating all the way back to 1984, Apple developed user interface guidelines that specified things like how dialog boxes were to be laid out, what the various menus and options should be, and what were the keyboard shortcuts for common operations.

This was the revolution that enabled all sorts of creatives to integrate computers into their creative work, and for the longest time it was Apple's advantage in the marketplace. Mac users, many of whom were creatives in the print, graphic design, music, and film/television spaces, were very picky about their UIs because they spent so much professional time in them. If you did not conform exactly, down to the pixel, to Apple's user interface guidelines, the users would notice right away, and you would be one-moused so hard in MacWorld your business might never recover. (That's another quasi-lost thing about the Mac ecosystem: people liked paying for good quality software.)

Accordingly, it was accepted dogma to never, ever, ever use a "cross-platform UI framework" if you targeted Mac, because the cross-platform frameworks never got the fine details right, and the fine details mattered. It's called "polish", and it's something the open source world never got (thanks in no small part to fucking X windows and all its stupid "toolkits"), and now that open source and the web have eaten everything, the rest of the programming world has forgotten.

Frontier has 38k MI250. Google and Amazon apparently bought 50k H100 in 2023. (Behind Meta and Microsoft at 150k)

I believe 38k definitely qualifies as large.

Maybe you misread me. I didn't mean to write that this was the default choice for large customers. Just that there are large customers for whom it makes sense to go AMD.

The thing is, from where I am working and planning, nvidias cuda advantage is not a thriving community around it that would be hard to replicate. The community aspects are much more prominent higher up the stack, if you support pytorch and tensorflow you have a ton of community. Nvidia absolutely rocks at having high performance proprietary libraries for every niche use case.

That's going to take time focus and investment, but the hand performance tuning of these libraries might only buy you so much over the pytorch version. Unless you are doing LLMs and pushing hard against the limits of what's possible, that last bit of tuning can wait.

Nvidia had a call with us not long ago. I genuinely don'tsee the moat. If we manage to launch a product in our space it will run on anything pytorch runs. There is no advantage to marrying ourselves to cuda.
Things would be more crazy if it was different.
