I suppose the cloud use-case makes sense, and my reaction was more to the people saying it mattered that they wouldn't fix consumer/desktop processors, where this thing is primarily if not almost exclusively used to undermine the owner.
I’m currently learning frontend (vanilla JS and bootstrap) and client-side render the UI for some of my ideas.

From my understanding, modern frameworks(React) use both. Why would you limit yourself to just server-side? Isn’t there a trade off between server-side and client-side rendering?
I did something similar about a decade ago because I was using tesseract to OCR Chinese.

Part of the problem is that if you use Tesseract to recognize English text it's much easier to clean it up afterwards because if it makes a mistake it's usually in only a single character, and you can use Levenstein distance to spellcheck and fix which will help a lot with the accuracy.

Logographic languages such as Chinese present a particular challenge to "conventional post-processing" having many words represented as two characters and often a lot of words as a single "glyph". This is particularly difficult because if it gets that glyph wrong there's no way to obvious way to detect the identification error.

The solution was to use image magick to "munge" the image (scale, normalize, threshold, etc), send each of these variations to tesseract, and then use a Chinese-corpus based Markov model to score the statistical frequency of the recognized sentence and vote on a winner.

It made a significant improvement in accuracy.
No-one who's been making any serious commentary on this topic has claimed that Khelif is trans. That's not the issue at all.

What all the available evidence so far indicates is that Khelif is male, most likely with a difference of sex development (DSD).
It generates high-speed neutrons, helium cores, photons, fissile fragments, and in rare circumstances free protons.

Of those, only the protons have an electric charge you could use in any form of generator… but I’m not aware of any form of reaction that predominantly creates protium. The fragments are also charged, but the implication that you’re using fission means they’re in the middle of a block of uranium and won’t keep their speed for long.

The others ignore electromagnetic fields for the most part, and will fly around until they smash into something and go goooong like the world’s smallest bell. Or smash through something, perhaps; it’s a chain reaction after all.

This mostly just makes other stuff move about. Repeat a few dozen times, and you’ve got heat.
I didn't recognize the name but then I went to the paper and realized this is one of the papers that establishes a model (as in model theory) for untyped lambda calculus. I knew about the result but not the author's name (nor the name of the paper). Ok I retract some of my cynicism. Still not very overwhelmed though by the gravity of the result. I'm not one of those people that worships Church ie I'm aware of all of the stuff people manage to prove with lambda calculi but I've yet to see any practical value (so we arrive at an actually negative answer to op's question).
Both TTL and CMOS logic define voltage levels, not currents. That is enough, btw, because if you can't drive the current you need at 5V, you will not be at 5V....

You can build TTL compatible logic with NPN/PNP -- that's where the name originally comes from. But it's hard to build CMOS compatible logic with NPN/PNP, tpyically the high output isn't high enough for CMOS spec. It is not hard to build TTL compatible inputs with CMOS technology, though. For example the 74HCT series, which has TTL compatible inputs, but is CMOS technology, compared to the 74HC series. CMOS outputs are always compatible with TTL inputs (assuming same supply voltage).
If they utilize the waste heat for eg. district heating, the equation looks a lot better. Unfortunately most cities don't have district heating.
But most popular modern desktop apps also bring the whole runtime packaged, just not Java (Node.js / Chromium) (Slack: 120MB, 1password: 136MB, Discord: 103MB).

So I don't see much a difference actually. 30MB is not a lot anymore, not for network, not for disk.
Even simpler, you can convert each PDF page to a PNG and ask gpt4 to simply transcribe the image. In my experience it's extremely accurate, more so than Tesseract or classic OCR.

My understanding is that this is how it works. When you are younger, everything is novel, and therefore your brain is making and timestamping more memories. We therefore have a high resolution timescale of memories.

As we age, we have less and less novelty. We learn less, have fewer first time experiences. Therefore, we lose resolution to our timescale as weeks, months, and for some, even years blend together.

Computational evolution of social norms in group-structured populations
Yes that paper is great.

My comment was directed more at those criticizing mouse models than this particular paper. Techniques are lovely; results are hopeful. But I need to see this generalized before talk about translation in HN or elsewhere, or yet another discussion about lousy mouse models and the necessity of “in mice” in every title.

From my point of view my comments were needfully and purposefully inflammatory to break the fever.

Hard to believe, but scientists (myself included) can be exceedingly stubborn and resistant to necessary paradigm changes such as incorporating genetic diversity into studies.

The principal reason mouse models are critiqued in HN and at NIH is that they are regarded as translationally ineffective.

Many of my colleagues often say that mice are poor models of human diseases X, Y, and Z.

To be blunt they usually do not really know what they are talking about. What they mean is that B6 is a bad model. But B6 is regarded as THE MOUSE. Is any one human a great model of human traits and diseases? Why do we allow this for experimental work. It truly is N=1.

We also have a community-wide fixation on moving all mutations and transgenes on to the glorious or notorious C57BL/6 strain.

Without background genetic variation we have fragile models that often do not generalize across strains of mice.

“Our current models are mannequins we dress up with sparse data from a few experiments and send down a publication catwalk, praying they don't toddle and trip. What we need are powerful, diverse, and well dressed models that can navigate a landscape, not a catwalk. As a community we have not begun to grapple with this issue, but one certainty is that we will require extraordinarily well structured data sets for humans and for experimental models, to make accurate predictions.”

As to your request that I review the Methods section more carefully — done. And I do not see any errors of commission on my part.

All of the lines that you list above are C57BL/6J (B6) or congenic mice on a nearly pure B6 background.

The first is the reference B6 inbred strain.

#2 is a B6 congenic (B6.xxx)

#3: The Pvalb mouse is at least a five-generation backcross to B6, and therefore also nearly congenic. This line is likely to have been backcrossed for more generations to B6 at JAX; to the point that it is likely to be >95% B6.

#4: The nomenclature of this line clearly states that it is a B6 congenic. The typical minimum number of backcrosses to list as a cogenic is 10, but this is a popular line of mouse and may have been backcrossed for even higher purity.

#5: Finally, the APOE4-5XFAD mice are 97% C57BL/6J.

“…mice homozygous for APOE4, and hemizygous for the 5XFAD transgenes, on a background strain 97% C57Bl/6J and 3% SJL; mice were then inbred between 5xFAD+ and 5xFAD- resulting in littermates E4+/+:FAD+ and E4+/+:FAD−.”
Tell HN: Open Development, just another opinion
I been thinking the next logical step for open source Software projects should be what I shall refer to as "Open Development", i.e. The development of an Open Source Software project could be live streamed to the platform of your choice. In these way, people would benefit from seeing how a feature they love is being implemented, battle of egos would be exhibited if it exists, Machine Learning algorithms will be trained on those videos to find patterns on human behavior, the more data available out there, the better. Investors will see their money in action (Five minutes in any given day of a month seeing a video) whenever they feel like doing so.

Just my opinion.

The only big downside of all this will be privacy.

Happy weekend!!!
I've been predicting that micros/nano plastics is an underlying cause of the increase in rates of autism. Endocrine disruption has long been part of the theoretical discussion of the causes of autism, and incidentally, so has plastics compounds like BPA and others

> Congress makes a law, administrators enforce said law, citizens challenge said enforcement, courts rule on the state of the law, congress makes a law.

This is a wholesome, well intentioned idea that I support.

The problem is that for most of our lifetimes congress has been operating under a model, specified by the Supreme Court, that regulators would make a reasonable interpretation of the laws that congress wrote. Think of it as the city council saying "The parks service shall keep the parks clean and safe." Not splitting hairs about every possible threat to safety, or defining exactly what clean means. Like it or not, legislators can't and don't want to exhaustively consider every possibility, and they can't react in a timely fashion to novel problems.

The courts suddenly turning this arrangement on its head and seizing the reins is not something that voters or legislators ever envisioned. It's exactly the kind of disruptive, chaotic move that an apolitical court would run far away from, and exactly the kind of move that destroys faith in the courts.

The one blessing that could come from this move is that it will force the other two branch to take a sober look at the brazen partisanship of the supreme court, and hopefully exercise congress's power to deeply reform. Regardless of your political leaning, we should all want to rip partisanship out of the courts by the roots.
Aug 30 seems like a ridiculously short deadline for proposals considering that this is as cutting edge as it gets.
IDK. I don't have much experience with modular monoliths. What experience I do have says they'll just become regular old monoliths...

...unless you still do the same thing I'm advocating for when considering microservices: defining, and treating, each chunk as a discrete product.

If you can do that, great! MM or MS will both work, and you can probably decide between them based on the other factors you're dealing with.

If you can't, I would expect you to end up with a regular old monolith, so you might as well lean into it.

I’ve been using .home.arpa for a while at home now.
That’s 100 microwatts x100 years, so about 876 wh, or 292 amp hrs (292,000 mah)

But, still, only 80mah a day . So 750mah scaled up to iPhone battery size. So abut 1/5 of the average daily power requirement for an iPhone. Even at that rate you’d need to use a supecapacitor to even out the load profile.

OTOH, in terms overall energy, it would be about the same as about a 50 litre lithium ion so it is rediculously dense, just low output
Yes, that is true as well. I wrongly assumed that just like how I expect the VPS host to safely overwrite storage of when the VPS is deleted/decommissioned that they would automatically remove PTR records from their DNS servers relating to that VPS. There is, after all, absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t delete the PTR records that a customer created for an IP address when that IP address is no longer in control of the customer. But indeed the whole ordeal would have been avoided had I myself gone and deleted the PTR before I removed the VPS.

It's a tricky one.

Depression often can lead to poor choices or life paths that would be better navigated if not depressed.

"Engaged with drugs" could be substituted with "compulsively gambled" or even "collected and obsessively arranged bottlecaps" in some cases. These are behaviours that can be used to avoid deeper issues behind depression which can persist and lead to bad outcomes regardless of the behaviour.
> Now, that said... is $42,000/yr a reasonable price? Fuck no. On a purely humanitarian level, it's unacceptable, and if we're just looking at Gilead's bottom line, I'm sure they could price this drug for a whole lot less and still recoup the cost of clinical trials (and then some).

Is it unacceptable if the company decides not to make the drug in the first place? The default alternative isn't that we have the drug for less, it's not having it at all.

But that's a software made in Lisp for Lisp. The fact that it also works for other purposes doesn't change the fact that it's a "technology for the sake of technology" product, not "technology for the sake of goals".

I agree about pro-cannabis people getting defensive; It's so blatant that I tend to not listen anymore. Of course the stuff affects you in ways that are not good. Everything on the planet has side-effects.

The next step seems to be justification which is often in the form of, "well, alcohol has negative side-effects too." Yup, there are a lot of parallels between the two drugs. Both of them do different things to you. For fun, let's throw caffeine in there too. All are legal in some fashion and are potentially addictive.

Which leads me to the next talking point, "well, I'm not addicted to weed so it's not addictive." What's missing is "to me" at the end of that. Some people definitely become addicted to it just like any other drug. Also, some people don't realize they are actually addicted, just like other addictions.

THC can be detected in urine for a month and is detectable in hair for much longer. I don't care what anyone says, if it's in your system for that long, it's affecting you (somehow) for that long.

What I really want is for there to be a ban on public use of the stuff. I'm quite tired of going places and having to transit through a cloud of marijuana smoke during my morning run. Keep that crap in your home... just like alcohol.

I doubt this could possibly have been a controlled experiment.
Sure, though what I find annoying is many of the same people are rabidly against tobacco smoking, even the faintest second hand smoke or vaping is treated like it's this deadly killer, but smoking farmed pot is this totally healthy thing in their eyes.
What one of my teams did in the past when things went off topic into an unproductive area was simply call out that it was off topic for the meeting, to shift things back to the main point. At the same time we would add it to a running list of future discussion topics, so they felt heard and the idea wouldn’t get lost, but it didn’t need to derail us in that moment. Most of the stuff we added to that list was never actually discussed later, as it was ultimately unimportant.

Sometimes the person talking would call themselves out, to have it added to the list, which was always nice. I ended up doing this a lot. An idea or issue would pop into my head, I’d bring it up, then as I was talking about it I would stop and say we should throw it in the parking lot and keep on the main topic.

We also had a weekly (maybe every other week) meeting to just talk about stuff. This gave us a forum to get into some of that oddball stuff if we needed. Having a time and place for this dramatic reduced the spill over into other meetings.

The default alternative is not charging obscene prices.
There is room yet to erode the dollar to inflate asset prices. High asset prices equal a strong economy, right?
The rates that are non-zero but small are chance of being diagnosed over some time period, usually one year.

What matters more is lifetime risk though, which adds up. We’re probably talking going from a single digit percentage chance to something three to five times that.
We are running FTS5 with a bunch of sqlite databases for an internal search tool, one with 15m records (we sharded that one, one shard per core), others with 200k-2m records. Speed is very fast -- the biggest dbs are hundreds of ms response time, but others are sub 10 or tens of ms. By _far_ the simplest search option for a small organization where a lot of the data is already in a SQL db, and we don't have the resources to stand up and maintain an ES cluster.

"just use Wi-Fi?", probably not. I don't think you'd want to create so many openings for attackers. Besides, EMI is a real issue and not something you want interfering with your critical systems too much.
> it's clear that it is very addictive and tens of millions of users per year are addicted to the level that it affects their daily life

That is not at all clear. By "affecting daily life", do you mean negatively? What is the effect and who is evaluating its positive or negative measurement?

It remains my understanding, and you have not contradicted it with your statement, that there is zero evidence of physical addictiveness of cannabis or THC.

There can certainly be a cannabis use disorder, but the same applies to any activity of choice. Some people definitely have addictive personalities and find things they like, and allow them to disrupt their lives.

> No shade to any users, but this is a drug and it has the standard downsides of all drugs

This does not make sense. Anything you ingest or inhale or inject is a drug, and there is no such thing as a standard downside.

"Drug" is not a magic word that makes a thing bad. You seem to have fallen into that semantic trap, which makes it impossible to reason about objectively.
The Red Herring of Red Flags: Why Resumes Are a Relic of the Past
Platform Secure Boot will measure the firmware into the TPM, so if an attacker modifies the firmware then yes, it'll be detectable. The microcode is signed so any attempt to modify it will simply result in the CPU booting with its ROM-based microcode.
> I don’t understand why the taxpayer needs to absorb these loans when the individual took it out on their own assuming it wasn’t predatory or illegal.

Because too many of your fellow citizens are spinning in what are basically poorly-written click-jack javascript infinite loops, and those loops are eating too much of our collective cpu time.

If you click "stop," their time/money is freed up to do something else. And compared to paying eternal interest on a degree that didn't lead to a decent job, literally anything else they do with that money is more useful. And since Americans suck at saving, it's incredibly likely that money will immediately get spent directly back into the economy.

If you click "continue" and hope something useful comes out of these loops' cycles, it's difficult to see that as anything but a sunken cost fallacy. Adding the phrase "personal accountability" doesn't really change that.
It may be obvious but rarely is it the focus of public discourse on drug companies. Basically the only thing that gets discussed is the apparent naked greed of drug research companies. Frankly it's a miracle that we have private companies bringing novel and life changing drugs to market, and the ability to make obscene profits off these massively speculative investments is probably the main reason.

That's not to dismiss criticism of them, but to me it's obvious, especially if you take a slightly longer view that these companies are in fact making lives better.

The real estate market is a much better example of the harmful effects of terminal greed. Unfortunately so much of the population is in on it now nobody has the fucking balls to stop the music.
Does that go into the hands of consumers though? The great thing about debt forgiveness is it goes directly to the population.

The article talks about the difference in the pre-fetcher between the two neoverse setups (Graviton and Grace Hopper). However isn’t the prefetcher part of the core design in neoverse? How would they differ?
You've got that the wrong way around - the PSP is able to access arbitrary areas of physical memory that can only otherwise be accessed via SMM, and so compromising the PSP gives you the ability to tamper with SMM code (as discussed in https://blog.trailofbits.com/2018/03/15/amd-flaws-technical-...). Having access to SMM doesn't give you access to the PSP, and being able to modify flash doesn't circumvent Platform Secure Boot. Power off the board and the CPU will return to exactly the state it left the factory in.
