This seems like approximately the dumbest possible place to have political battles. Isn't the entire purpose of having a standard set of emojis as part of Unicode to enable reliable communication of the concepts and emotions associated with them?

In that sense it's perfectly fine if it was a water pistol, a real gun or whatever else as long as it's the same thing everywhere. But the same codepoint showing up as a water pistol to one half of the audience and as a gun to the other seems to be just begging for misunderstandings - and in a charged atmosphere like X no less where this could easily spiral into drama, shitstorms or worse.
> they simply don't know

I don't think they know. The candidates are worried about the job that they are campaigning for. There is some manager or whatever that is worried about the details and their job is to win the campaign. The next campaign starts anew and is either won or lost - there is no "almost". The volunteers and other workers are almost universally fresh young people doing this for the first time ever.

Keep in mind that if you get so frustrated with political party A, switching to political party B doesn't change this experience. So what are you going to do? Not vote at all? It will probably take 5-10 years of not voting before you drop off their lists.

I find Figma useful for quick ideation on small projects to see potential constraints and challenge assumptions. The lower-fi, the better. I only do mobile-design to focus on essentials, use grayscale colors to not be distracted, and don't make a mobile global navigation.
If it was a larger project though, I'd definitely consider sketching as the speed is so much faster. And then jump into code.
I had a 13900K blue screen at random for almost a year. Anything that used more than a certain amount of cores would either crash or blue screen, which was irritating considering I built the machine in part so I could do simulations and renders in Blender. I was also unable to use dual channel RAM. It just wouldn't POST no matter what settings I used.

I went through 3 motherboards hoping it was that, and not the insanely expensive CPU that would be a pain to RMA. But as it turns out, the RMA process was very quick and painless once I provided my troubleshooting history. But due to it being my main computer that I make my money with, I had to buy another processor to fill the 2 week gap between sending the old one and receiving the new one.

I probably spend $1500 or more on this problem, and by the sounds of it, my troubles might not be over.

It's still conservatives, but conservatives from the culture that liberals ushered in over the past several decades. This explains the college campus dynamic as well, where all these professors that fought for liberal ideas in the 1970's and 1980's grew old and stopped questioning their own ideas. Now they're busy closing the ranks and tone policing anybody that pokes holes in their dogma. That dynamic isn't liberalism running amok, but rather just the bog standard pearl clutching of conservatism. Actual liberalism still exists, it just doesn't get media attention as pitting red tribe conservatism versus blue tribe conservatism creates more arguing (aka engagement).
> Your links do not support your conclusions (actually, I don't believe there are any in your comment).

1. What a strange comment.

2. They do support my answer to your question: "how one cannot say that biological machines compute "just as"(!) silicon based computers do"

> Yes, while you can repeat something often enough for it to appear true, it may not actually be true; this is a vacuous statement that does not need to be stated

It is directly related to your question, and the underlying phenomenon: human belief (more popularly known as: truth, the reality, etc).

> You have not actually answered my question however, your comment is a deflection of what I'm asking, so I will ask again, why are biological beings not considered computational?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41056319

"I am asking in the general sense how one cannot say that biological machines compute just as silicon based computers do."

That is the question I answered.

As for "Why are biological beings not considered computational?"

Well, consciousness (which implements "considering") is not understood, so it is unknown. But as my last link above describes, instances of can be made to function certain ways simply by good story telling. So in this case, maybe some chunk of the whole have heard that they are not computational.

> They do the same thing a general computer can do.

The ambiguity and misinformative of English (as we (or at least I) see here) is why I linked to Set Theory. Do you see the relevance?
Crowdstrike's contracts and terms of service will have clauses about how much liability they have when things go wrong. I have no idea what Crowdstrike's policy is, but pretty often, the liability is limited to the amount of money you've paid them during the outage.

I've been involved in procurement at a big corporation and one thing we always modified in contracts was making the vendor 100% liable for any damages caused by their outages, but many vendors wouldn't make that modification.
But we don’t restrict it to math or logical syntax. Any prompt across essentially all domains. The same model is expected to handle any kind of logical reasoning that can be brought into text. We don’t mark it incorrect if it spells an unimportant word wrong, however keep in mind the spelling of a word can be important for many questions, for example—off the top of my head: please concatenate “d”, “e”, “a”, “r” into a common English word without rearranging the order. The types of examples are endless. And any type of example it gets wrong, we want to correct it. I’m not saying most models will fail this specific example, but it’s to show the breadth of expectations.
crazy how much drama ONE employee at X can stir up just because they felt like changing it
Most of the countries named are already under heavy sanctions, and have proved resilient against them to a large extent.

One problem with the Kessler Syndrome is that it's a runaway phenomenon, though one that evolves more slowly than most people appreciate. A few bad actors could trigger events which slowly start to seriously degrade at least low-to-mid Earth orbital ranges.

Geosynchronous orbits are possibly less susceptible as the entire orbital ring is large, though geostationary orbital space, strictly along Earth's equator, is more constrained. The Starlink approach of putting comms satellites in very low Earth orbit, which clears fairly quickly, possibly mitigates this in two ways (it makes geosync less critically necessary, and de-orbits satellites quickly). But LEO is still where higher orbits eventually decay to, and might itself be affected with time as well.

The lax regulatory problem, which invokes another underappreciated economic principle, Gresham's Law, is one that's appeared elsewhere and has proved hard to counter. I'd suggest not underestimating its possible noxious effects.
One of my roles had an "Engineering Council" where this was done. I don't how well it worked--for example we were very Jenkins-dependent but everyone absolutely hated Jenkins. But, basically you get a cabal together and decide stuff.

---

I forget who I was watching, maybe Rich Hickey, but whoever it was was saying that as an engineer, your ceiling is lower than you think it is. You'll never get anywhere close to twice as smart, or twice as creative, or twice as careful. You might some days be 20% smarter, which would be wild, or maybe over a year you might do 6% over, but you'll probably balance that out with down days/years and over time you'll age and get worse, not better. So the only way you're really going to meaningfully improve isn't by thinking harder or being more fastidious, it's through processes and tools.

A lot of engineering managers don't internalize this. For example, they think they can just say things like "be more careful when pushing to prod", but in the history of software engineering that has never worked. What does work is CI/CD, testing, QA, design docs, etc.
Mini-batches and dropout mean that you are constantly jumping out of and into other minima during training of any type (highly-redundant solution space is an important feature of deep learning). This is deliberate and necessary to explore the gigantic parameter space of these huge LLM models.
When is the last time you restarted your mac? I had this guy complain to me, everything is laggy and chrome is slow (memory leaks?). A simple restart fixed everything. Clear your chrome cache/etc. Disable all extensions you dont use and try again.

> Unfortunately, putting the onus on risk adverse organizations like hospitals and governments to validate the AV changes means they just won't get pushed and will be chronically exposed.

I have a similar feeling.

At the very least perhaps have an "A" and a "B" update channel, where "B" is x hours behind A. This way if, in an HA configuration, one side goes down there's time to deal with it while your B-side is still up.
The next magic numbers after 82 are not known with certainty.

Nevertheless, it was usually supposed that 126 is the next magic number for protons, in which case it has not been reached yet. Other possible values, from more recent computations, are 122 and 124, also not reached yet.

Moreover, the isotopes that are the most stable for the already synthesized elements are expected to have more neutrons than in the isotopes that have been successfully produced. So it is not impossible that an "island of stability" might have already been reached, but only with isotopes that have so few neutrons that they remain outside the zone of stability.

RabbitMQ is simpler to implement but it has fewer capabilities than Kafka.
If the model collapse means that the text produced by it is not statistically identical to the garbage that fills the Internet - then I guess a collapse is the goal.
For normal nuclei it does, but when you get up into a solar mass sized blob of them, gravity exceeds it. That's because the repulsion is going in all directions and nets out against itself but all the gravity points inwards cumulatively.

(Edit because we got a little confused in the replies: If it were all protons, they would repel and overcome gravity. But real matter isn't that, it's always protons and neutrons and electrons with close to no net repulsion so gravity wins.)

Similarly, radioactive nuclei (alpha emitters and spontaneous fission) happen because the electromagnetic repulsion exceeds the strong force, which has a very short range and doesn't reach across those large nuclei.
That's good. Shouldn't have changed to begin with. If Apple wanted a water pistol they should have gone through the process to add a new one.

Yes, we are doing this at Riza[0] (via WASM). I'd love to have folks try our downloadable CLI which wraps isolated Python/JS runtimes (also Ruby/PHP but LLMs don't seem to write those very well). Shoot me an email[1] or say hi in Discord[1].

Figma puts codegen on plugins and partners. These either generate generic html or, more commonly, platform specific code.
Neither phrase is causing the LLM to evaluate the word itself, it just helps focus toward parts of the training data.

Using more 'erudite' speech is a good technique to help focus an LLM on training data from folks with a higher education level.

Using simpler speech opens up the floodgates more toward the general populous.

I'm partial to the TailwindCSS approach where they're right next to each other like:

I don't know how resizing defaults would work well for most cases instead of specifying what you want.
The closest I've come to that was using Tailwind.

Figma could adapt by making something that actually produces code well too? Although it would add a lot of complexity and designers might not like having to make different versions for different platforms, like the 'android', 'ios', 'flutter', 'web', etc. There are tools like judo.app that make 1:1 native SwiftUI designs.

How else would capital and customers be gatekept? You either raise money from VCs to buy ads or take the gamble of bootstrapping exposure past the latest innovations of banning and filtering. As social isolation becomes more prominent, organic spread becomes harder, allowing the VC connected to be the narrative. The preference naturally becomes profit over social good as social narratives carry little profit but fall trap to the same mechanisms.

Received an email from treeverse.io today:

>You might have noticed in our documentation that Access Control Lists (ACLs) will be deprecated in an upcoming release of lakeFS OSS, scheduled for this quarter. Future versions will support only single-user access.

> While I believe this change won't impact your current use case, I wanted to reach out proactively. If you foresee any challenges with transitioning to the single-user model, please let me know. I'm more than happy to arrange a meeting to discuss and find a solution that ensures you can continue using lakeFS without disruption.

> Simultaneously, we will be adding new features to lakeFS OSS as part of this release (stay tuned!). These features will enhance the platform, though they will not focus on user management.

> Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or would like to discuss this further.

Super annoying that such a basic feature is being removed. But they are happy to sell you a version with the same capabilities!
Censorship is censorship. The fact that it is happening in a government-run institution makes it worse. Like I said, everyone is for it when it suits them, and outraged when it doesn't.
> Among the many hackerish features of ITS was allowing a user space process to act like a device, not just for a filesystem but as a TTY, which allowed a lot more kinds of terminals to be supported than would fit in the monitor (kernel in today’s parlance).

I begin to understand where Plan 9 got that "other" kind of inspiration.
If emojis are speech then removing a particular one sure looks like censorship. Many people do consider them a form of speech, both socially and legally. For example, a thumbs up emoji can be considered agreeing to a contract.
Because you never git pushed to the fork it's not aware of your repo, you're ok.

What I don't know is if in 3 months you DO set your remote origin to that fork to for instance, pull upstream patches into your private repo, you're still not pushing, only pulling, so I would THINK they'd still never get your changes, but I don't know if git does some sort of log sync when you do a pull as well.

Maybe that would wind up having the commit hash available.
> even though the UK watchdog will be doing everything they can to pressure Apple into becoming part of the massive UK surveillance state.

Apple is already a participant in the UK's warrantless surveillance program. They are enrolled in the United States PRISM program which is a known component of the FIVE-EYES international surveillance network. The UK is one of the longest-standing members of the FIVE-EYES network, and a direct consumer of Apple-provided surveillance information.
Totally understand, and it can't be local first without OSS. I'll be making it OSS with an Electron App soon.
In GBoard for Android, there can be numbers on the top of the keyboard. (This is also available in iPadOS but not iOS.)

Most symbols (%@*'"!? etc.) are available on the keyboard itself with a long-press. (This is also true of the iPadOS "Flick Keyboard", but not iOS.)

There's a comma on the keyboard (why is it so hard to get a comma on literally every iOS keyboard?! This also is available on iPadOS. Yes, I use commas.)

Swype word detection is more accurate, even with the strictest privacy settings.

At the end of the day, with GBoard for Android, I never, ever needed to change modes on the keyboard or do a long swipe to type numbers, punctuation or symbols. Don't need to do it on iPadOS either. iOS, it's a total nightmare.

Maybe Tim Cook never types on an iPhone. I'm baffled as to why this is an issue. They made the iPadOS keyboard modern in 2018, the iOS keyboard remains mired in 2008.

The iPhone 15 Pro hardware is remarkable. The keyboard, though, oof, ow.

Like when cigarettes are replaced with lollipops in cartoons, you can debate if it does anything for kids or changes the meaning of a show or even matters at all, but you call it censorship. That's what it is, by definition.
one surprisingly useful thing it did for me involved my phone. I couldn't find my phone and i think i just blurted out "alexa, i can't find my phone" jokingly. it then responded if it should call it. I said yes, and then my phone started ringing and i was able to find it. That was pretty useful actually.

Context is king.

The sentence "it's time to cut down the tall trees" doesn't seem like it should trigger a genocide, but it did.

If you send a firearm emoji in response to someone asking what they think of the 2020 USA presidential election result, that seems to be a fairly explicit encouragement of armed violence. A water pistol, not so much — likewise either "gun" variant in response to plans for summer holiday sports ideas.

When it comes to tall trees? Well, are you talking to an arborist or are you the RTLM in 1994.
Why 4090, though? I read (and agree) that 3090 is generally considered to be the best bang for the buck: 24GB, priced at $800-1000 range, and giving decent TPS for LLMs.
Some people might just not want to take the time to math it out while they've got something time-sensitive on the stove. I feel like your comment doesn't really serve a purpose other than to put other people down. Congrats on your memory and math prowess but not everyone in the world has the same brain as you.
> This got me wondering… is this dick move a Silicon Valley thing?

It’s a West Coast thing, deriving from a combination of face-saving cultural values and conflict avoidance in (purported) pursuit of in-group collaboration over competition. (You’ll find similar ghosting behaviour in many Asian and Arab cultures. The South has its own spin on it, too.)
Couldn't agree more.

Majority of devs only think of FE/BE and think that a good OpenAPI description is not worth the time. It absolutely is, if you factor in a testing team.

But they are not mad if you don't think about them. Pretty much nobody ever does after all.
It’s not. The feature here works because a network of forks known by GitHub has a unified storage, that’s what makes things like PRs work transparently and keep working if you delete the fork (kinda, it closes the PR but the contents don’t change).
But that would still means they didn't intend to fix it, hence not giving bounty is fair.
Those features you’ve mentioned were done for some customers/projects that deployed defguard - but web3 stack (especially wallet libraries) are so… immature and problematic that we will be most probably removing those features.

Can you share your roadmap? Ideas? Seems we share the same mindset and vision, would be great to exchange knowledge, ideas…

Cheers, Robert
Been a front-end designer since I started learning/my career (2007 lol) and sorta hate having to use Figma yet it's a lot like using Photoshop so it's not too bad. Yet I almost always just design/code in the browser using the "Inspect Element," tool (take my last design project, deconstruct it as needed and then copy and paste the code into an IDE; click refresh fairly often).
Disagree. If the cat emoji becomes a dog, it isn't OK if it's the same everywhere. I don't think it's much different to turn the poo emoji into flowers, the bomb emoji into a kiss, or the pistol emoji into a water pistol.
Both of them? At the time where you need a timer?
As a mobile engineer, I do not have the visual & product skills that designers have. They can create something visually appealing and aligned much faster than I can and have all sorts of skill sets that take a while to hone. I might have more taste than the typical backend engineer, but it doesn't really translate to visual skills to the level of most designers.
If explicitly marking expensive IO operations using async is a feature, then why don't languages with async make their "print" functions asynchronous?
That is a good thing isn't it?

Collect evidence first, draw conclusions when you have enough evidence.

Makes a refreshing change from deciding what happened then collecting only the evidence that supports it.
