They are Sphynx cats[1]. I'm not a fan of selective breeding in cats. Dogs, which have been much more selectively bred, have a huge number of inherited health issues as a result. E.g. pugs and other dogs with short noses tend to have a lot of health problems[2,3]. Cats have largely not been selectively bred, but selective breeding is becoming increasingly common and has negative impacts on the animals' health.

I wonder why the author omitted Musk's stated motive for the move. Wouldn't that be of interest to the reader? Like, why do this? I also notice your explanation has been censored.
This is a bit of a Zen thing you're describing. A lot of different approaches and theories on getting to the same thing here I would say. It's hard to think of specific advice here beyond "just start doing it" which does not seem very helpful. Maybe a good insight here is "practice will make it easier."

I think ultimately for me this mindset was cultivated at a pretty young age with some writing and art I happened to come across. I love content like that and seek it out now. I think you can become more and more growth mindset oriented with time. I'll share some of the things I've liked on the topic here, maybe that will be useful:

> Apple probably had much more freedom becsuse of their size and power and I don't really understand why it is not possible to add a custom search engine. There is no advantage for Apple to not allow this.

I think you're giving Apple too much credit. They are too myopic and too focused on optimizing their current financials, especially under Tim Cook. To build a new search engine would mean 1) tossing away the $20B Google offers, and 2) spend potentially billions to build or acquire something viable.

Would be unacceptable to the Apple institutional shareholders. Akin to what Meta tried to do with their Reality Labs.

Light is the head that accepts one's own doing as "bad." Moreoften I think people face inner resistance stemming from the cognitive dissonance between the unknowable "own standards" and the very legible external standards.[1, 2]

I think maybe a copper wire is susceptible to an RF attack?
I completely agree. When I first saw some of the issues ( in US ), my first reaction was that of disbelief. I simply could not believe this is the way it is set up.

If US has any defense, it is that it is not alone in this craziness as almost every bigger power center carefully manages its domain to ensure it remains a relevant player. To put it simply, there is too much money in managing different pipes.

At this point though, short of complete collapse necessitating full rewrite of the existing payment systems, standardization will not happen. ISO itself is a convoluted mess with one real benefit of using standard XML.
I never said what you're claiming. Please read comments carefully, assume good faith in the comments you read, and don't put words in my mouth.

Like I said, Intel's layoffs are a reaction to their stock tanking, and their stock tanking is due to investor behavior which is sometimes rational, but a lot of the times not.

Lolz

> suggest that mental effort is inherently aversive.

Why I think modern science is a failure. Such a well conducted study and inherent mysteries are concluded by universal condemnation.

Thought has entropic affects (energy and order diminishes somewhere inside the mind.)

Have a nap, tomorrow your capacity will INCREASE. Laws of life information assimilation.

If North Americans changed their attitude about work and uncomfortable energy expenditures, they would be unstoppable!

Studies with sloppy conclusions only suggest it's better to be lazy and not think. Rather, the self may be overcome and we achieve solutions beyond ourselves; we merely tire and are easily overworked which degrades our momentary performance.

Strike for so-called-science. Beware these are rewarded for writing papers.
What you quoted here and the article you linked are extremely different things. The article states "referring to a transgender individual by their biological sex and opining that “women aren’t men.”". You may not agree with that decision, but I hope you can understand that difference.
Those are Ukraine numbers, so there is double counting, propaganda, and other such reasons to take some salt with them. Different countries have different estimates but they publish them less often. Those numbers are the best we have, and give a similar magnitude to other estimates but they are also higher than others.

Of course there are also things that nobody can see and there is reason to believe Russia is intentionally not counting some thing.

On the other hand we also have reason to believe Russia is recruiting about 1000 men per day, and the number of troops they have is not increasing. So while the numbers above are suspect they cannot be too far off.
I find the whole concept of it requiring a keyboard shortcut to activate a bit strange — that will, typically, require me to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard and back again. I'm surprised there isn't gesture support.
Yep. And if you are using clang (or something else that does SSA register allocation), you basically first build the SSA form, compile it down to a fixed register set, and then the CPU reconstructs the SSA form.

Another thing that's often misunderstood is branch prediction -- branch prediction is not looking at branches and picking which way to go. Branch prediction runs easily at least 3 cycles before the CPU can see the instructions, so it operates just on memory addresses, and tries to guess the next address to fetch. Generally, before it's built any statistics, it just guesses "next address". When there are jumps, it builds history out of those and makes decision based on that. On various architectures, there used to be hinted branches where the predictor could be tweaked to always first attempt to follow a taken branch, and fall back to prediction if that fails a few times. The hints are all no-ops today, simply because there is no way for the predictor to make use of instruction contents because it doesn't see those until it's work is already done.
The other side already gets consideration in the form of (extremely long) copyright protection. Designing products in a way so that they are unvailable in any useful form after the end of the copyright term is already a violation of that contract.

Show HN: I made portfolio builder to create a portfolio in a few clicks
As a solopreneur I'm around freelancers, just a lot of my freelancer friends have been writing to me to see if I could do a web portfolio for them, saying that they don't have much time to do it and that they need it fast so they can put their work and experience on there and send it to (future) jobs. They were in a hurry because they wanted to join some freelance groups or get a job but they wanted to see a portfolio everywhere.

So I was looking for a way to create something easy to use, where a freelancers can write their experience, projects, about me text and add some social links thanks to in build cms and optimally keep it simple and time saving. But at the same time I knew I had to do at least some customizability because not everyone will like the same thing. That's why I was also thinking about combining themes.

After 3 weeks of intensive work I made Portfolio4me.com. It's a combination of all my thoughts that came to mind and a solution to the above problems!

For speed I used NextJS, SupaBase.

I hope this platform of mine will help more people! I will be glad for any feedback.

Add some lines for managing the bank's security requirements: signature, encryption and authentication.

If you work with multiple banks, like many corporates or fintechs, multiply many of these lines by the number of banks you work with.

Even before starting to code anything, a big part of the job is obtaining the documentation from each bank and specifying the integration for each bank.

For instance, for the same payment scheme, different banks require different maximum payments per file or payload, or maximum payment file or payload size.

Show HN: QuickMail AI – Generate emails with AI without switching tabs
Hi! I found myself constantly switching tabs between my email and ChatGPT to draft emails, and it was seriously eating into my productivity. So I built QuickMail AI, a Chrome extension that lets you generate emails instantly by just clicking on the extension icon, whether you're in Gmail, Outlook, or any other email service.

It took me several months of development, but it's finally ready.

I'm really excited to share this with the community. I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions for improvements, or any features you think would make it even more useful for your workflow. Also curious if others have faced similar productivity issues with email writing.

I use MapLibre Native to render static PNGs and JPEGs from vector MBTiles and mbstyle json files.

The nuts and bolts of it boil down to writing a short program in C++ that accepts a few arguments and makes the relevant library calls, and is then called as an external program from my sorbet code. I guess you could PInvoke it but I’ve never got my head around that part of .Net :)

It’s cross-platformish _enough_ for me, as I dev on macos and host on Linux. Can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t compile on windows though.

The flexibility is rather good, and I created a DSL without realising that I was doing so by supplying one program variation with a list of map types, dimensions, starting coordinates + zoom levels etc, which it can iterate over to produce a bunch of static map images.

Highly recommend it, the initial learning curve was steep - for me, at least - but is all one-time learning stuff that you don’t to relearn later on.
So now I am in conflict, based on my personal experience venting reduces anger, but now some scientist with bell curve is saying my personal experience is wrong? What do?

The premise is actually quite similar to the US vs. Standard Oil antitrust case from a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil_Co._of_New_Jersey...

Just as Standard Oil used their position to force railroads and other distributors to only carry their oil and not of their competitors', the same case here with Google.

Arguably all these antitrust cases, while better late than never, are at least a decade late. If it was filed in the early 2010s, then possibly there could've been viable competitors to Google, Apple, Amazon, and even Meta. But now these tech titans all have unassailable positions.

Measured how?
My wife and I bought a house across the street from my sister in 2016. I was really reluctant to do it, to be honest; I thought I was getting myself into an Everybody Loves Raymond situation where she'd be popping into our home uninvited all the time. But she moved away a few years ago, and we miss seeing her every day. We miss my little niece and nephew running around outside screaming, or running across the street to tell us about a toad they found or something their dad is doing. We even miss her annoying little dogs constantly getting off their chains so they could run across the street and into our backyard where our dogs would go ballistic.

> What makes you think AI will become a commodity?

Because it already is. There have been no magnitude-level capability improvements in models in the past year (sorry to make you feel old, but GPT-4 was released 17 months ago), and no one would reasonably believe that there are magnitude-level improvements on the horizon.

Let's be very clear about something: LLMs are not harder than search. The opposite is true: LLMs, insomuch as it replaces Search, made competing in the Search space a thousand times easier. This is evidenced by the reality that there are at least four totally independent companies with comparable near-SOTA models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta); some would also add Mistral, Apple Intelligence is likely SOTA in edge LLMs, xAI just finished a 100,000 GPU cluster, its a vibrant space. In comparison, even at the height of search competition there were, like, three search engines.

LLM performance is not an absolute static gradient; there is no "leader" per se when there are a hundred different variables upon which you can grade LLM performance. That's what the future looks like. There are already models that are better at coding than others (many say Claude is this), there will be models better at creative writing, there will be an entire second class of models competing for best-at-edge-compute, there will be ultra-efficient models useful in some contexts, open source models awesome at others, and the hyper-intelligent ones the best for yet others. There's no "leader" in this world; there are only players.
it only risks his eggs if the anthropic basket does well, if anthropic doesn't go well then he still has his OpenAI eggs
... I mean, North Korea has pretty much the same population growth dynamics as South Korea, and fewer levers to meaningfully address it (in particular, South Korea can address it through immigration, whereas even if NK was willing to cope with that from an ideological PoV, it's hard to imagine it being a particularly popular destination.)
Plasticity is what I want to look at for my next modeling program, but so far I seem to be able to make what I want using TinkerCAD, so I'm getting along without having to climb another learning curve.

You can record the standard rock band setup with minimal hardware. Direct input guitar and bass, processed with amp simulation. Electronic drum kit with some good samples (most modern recordings use drum replacement anyway even if they're recording real drums). A single close mic for the vocals, and maybe some basic room treatment, which is relatively easy in the vocal range. Convolution reverb with impulse responses for the acoustics. Most listeners won't be able to tell the difference.

Only if you insist on real drums does it become difficult and expensive.

Aero-engineers: why can't we make airfoil kits to make certain vehicles 'air worthy'? A 10k addon to your current sedan to make it short take off and landing sounds way more fun than anything else.

I think you are missing the root idea here:

- you write "auto" as the type.

- You run a script that updates your code and replaces "auto" with the appropriate type for you to review and keep in the code.
