They've probably been "flagged" by community members (or bots, who knows)

If you go to your profile (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=alexandregomes), you can turn on "showdead: yes" and see dead posts that way.

Other users can "vouch" for flagged posts, but I guess nobody did for yours.

I bought a Sony TV a couple days ago. It’s just a Samsung panel identical to a current Samsung TV but placed into Sony innards. Which means no stupid terrible Samsung software! That’s really why I chose it. So seeing this comment tree points out the irony that the value of Sony for me was that it’s essentially repackaging someone else’s known-good product.
They are not Hindus.

Having said that, they are all covered by the Hindu Personal Law. And there is a separate Muslim Personal Law aka Shariat Law in ‘secular’ India.

For the purposes of the law, they are all Hindus. But from a faith based perspective, they are all separate religions whose congregations are considered a minority.
Personally I'd rather they force these companies to provide a reasonably priced alternative to ads. I want to have the option to allow companies to use my data for AI. I think AI can be a net boon to society if managed right.

But ads are net negative and I'd argue that the influence of ads and paid actors on social media has been the single most destabilizing force in the world recently.
So we're in for an eternal cat and mouse game where AIs attempt to learn all the facts available and obscure their provenance as needed to evade restrictions, and IP owners attempt to prove that AIs know too much and therefore owe them money.

The differences between Spanish "dialects" are overstated IMO and closer to accents. No two Spanish accents are as different as the dialects of Arabic or dialects of Chinese are from each other. People will share anecdotes about not being able to understand different words(like straw, car, computer) but the underlying grammar is the same in all varieties. Im natively fluent in both English(US) and Spanish and I find English accents way harder to understand than Spanish ones. The only time Ive felt completely clueless listening to English was talking to a Scottish man.
Well, joke's on you Brazil. I doubt Meta can mine any more data than they already have.

They already have all the names, pictures, face biometrics, social graph, location information, political affiliation, relationships and everything that goes into an advertising profile. What else is needed?

They can just use the data already mined, which is probably 99% of everything they will ever need for many years to come. They probably have so much data they can use AI to predict what's missing with a fairly degree of accuracy, like what your face is going to look like in 20 years.

And due to the highly corrupt nature of politics, a few dollars here and there will undo this regulation fairly quickly. Or they could buy it from another company, because the law must be so poorly constructed that a clever lawyer will surely find workaround and they will be OK.
I don't have specific information about Seal Beach, but Tar Balls are completely natural and are not [necessarily] caused by drilling.

> But Mr. O’Grady must have been the first writer to seriously consider the physics of the miniature.

Railway modelers (and probably ship modelers before them) were in this domain before that. Real water doesn't look right on a model layout. Also things like the practical dimensions of the rails and the speed at which things move. The scaling of the physics is important for a live steam model, as it affects the operation as well as the physics.

Apart from that, scale models were a primary engineering tool before the advent of computer simulation [1]. Models are still used for training ship pilots [2], and these models must account for how physical properties scale.

Make sure to eat food before you take it, and start with 2.5g twice a day instead of 5g all at once to go easy on your stomach. The food helps slow down how quickly the creatine moves through your system. This prevents too much water from being pulled into your GI tract, avoiding undesirable symptoms (use your imagination).

The parent said GPL, which is what got me confused. LGPL makes more sense.

Although... this still doesn't explain why the other parts of the browser besides the rendering engine are open source? i.e. if the license was the reason, then presumably Google would've made the rest of the browser closed source, but that wasn't the case for most parts.
I'm having flashbacks to the late 90s for some reason, WordPerfect was briefly popular on Linux, before StarOffice, OpenOffice, etc., when Corel Linux shipped with it.

Yes, that's correct. Under the Berne Convention all copyright for a work and any derivatives is held with the author, unless the explicitly disclaim it or another legal provision applies (eg fair use for teaching or parody).

However, does an LLM count as a derivative work or a transformative one? That's something for the lawyers to answer.

It'd be hard to replace all the existing terminologies with your own version, since people need to be able to discuss electricity with other people, and the vocabulary is hundreds of years old by this point.

Internationally, the countries currently paying to meet their Paris targets will need to recoup some of that investment through tariffs on imports from non-participating countries. This is the stick. Will they be nice and not put tariffs on imports that can be demonstrated to be Green enough? Doubtful, given the cartel of Green nations will see the opportunity to increase market share of their own exports. Will your personal investments into Green production, which costs more since you have to personally take on the otherwise externalized cost of pollution, cause you to be noncompetitive? On the local market. Will your customers pay more for the 'Green' logo on your product? Will they believe it? Or will a competitor eat your lunch with their dirty production, relying on the rest of us to pay to clean up, or give up on clean air, cheap healthcare and bearable weather.

Ex-Australian living in the US:

In this case, it wouldn't.

The longest gas pipeline in the world is the PetroChina. The main part of that is around 4,000km (2,500mi) long, BUT passes through 66 cities, and includes 8 branches.

A pipeline from West to East in Australia would be 4,000km long in a perfectly straight line, but have near no branches, and pass through no infrastructure at all for well over 3,500km of it. You're talking areas that are so remote that you need fixed wing aircraft for maintenance because helicopters don't have range, areas that even vehicles will have to carry extended fuel tanks because the nearest fuel supply might be 1,000 miles away, with little to no water supplies.

It could take days or more to get to the pipe for inspection, security would be non-existent.

And all this in a climate that is ... unforgiving. One of the nearby towns to where such a pipeline is situated has the following factoids:

At least one month a year where the mean maximum temperature is 107F.

Holds a record of 160 consecutive days above 100F.

Regularly records 110F+, with record temperatures approaching 120F.

It's highly suspected that the uninhabited areas along that route would exceed those temperatures. Multiple towns in the vicinity have exceeded 120F in the shade on multiple occasions.

The railroad nearby holds the world record for the straightest section of train track: 500mi+ dead straight (though not dead level).

Shipping is the only way to go, really.
How to Develop User-Friendly AI Chatbot Websites Similar to Existing Solutions
I have programming experience with Python and Langchain. I have developed several RAG chatbots using Chainlit/Streamlit as front-end. Doing research in current AI Chatbot solutions I have seen numerous companies offering their product in the same exact way. You create an account, add a knowledge base either through pdfs or by adding a link to you website, modify the prompt and finally embed the chatbot in your own website. The process is simple and seamless. They are all structured in the same way and have the same exact UI.

How do you go from what I have experience with to developing such a user-friendly website? Why are all of these structured exactly in the same way? If they were being developed separately and from different programmers shouldn't the end result vary?
This is a very good summary with great narrative, helpful diagrams, and very approachable math explained clearly. Good references. Well worth the read.

It was a glib comment, but I fundamentally reject the premise that we'll have more personal time because of ChatGPT.

It's like saying that buying a faster computer that compiles quicker means you can spend more time with your family. Theoretically true, but in practice people who are that way inclined can find myriad other ways to use the new technology to eat up time.

With these studies, I always wonder what steps they take to account for paternal uncertainty.

Adding an option to make something default isn't the same as making something the default. If they wanted it as the default, they'd have made it the default.

1. I think it is wrong to compare Norway with India.

[..]Early Norwegians, like most Scandinavians, were once adherents of Norse paganism; the Sámi having a shamanistic religion.[13] Norway was gradually Christianized by Christian missionaries between 1000 and 1150. Before the Protestant Reformation in 1536/1537, Norwegians were part of the Catholic Church.[..]

Norwegian pagans lost their ancestors faith. Hindus did not.

As a democracy, Indians have the right to establish a Hindu nation through fair elections.

The colonial Brits left behind a system after The Partition when they departed. Pakistan and Bangladesh were cut off to create the Muslim nations.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India

Most Hindus wants a Uniform Civil Code in India. Not a separate legal system for Muslims(Shariat Law) and another system for the rest of the population.

2. Population of Norway is 5.5 million. Population of India is 1400 million.

3. [..] Religion in Norway is dominated by Lutheran Christianity, with 63.7% of the population belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway in 2022.[1][2] The Catholic Church is the next largest Christian church at 3.1%.[3] The unaffiliated make up 18.3% of the population. Islam is followed by 3.4% of the population.[4][..]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Norway

4. Religion in India
Hinduism (79.8%)
Islam (14.2%)
Christianity (2.3%)
Sikhism (1.7%)
Buddhism (0.7%)
Animism/Adivasi (0.5%)
Jainism (0.4%)
No Religion (0.25%)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_India

5. India does not have a Uniform Civil Code as in there are different laws for different religionists: there is Hindu Personal Law(Buddhists/Jains/Sikhs are included), Christian Personal Law and Muslim Personal Law(Shariat Law) even though the majority of the population are Hindu by faith.

Most Hindus would prefer a Uniform Civil Code.

Much in math is a matter of convention. But, to paraphrase - all conventions are possible, but some are useful.

Why do we measure angles in radians? Because then d/dx (sin x) = 1 at x = 0, and sin x ≈ x for small x.

In my opinion drilling down too much on conventions misses the point of math.
