The hybrid war angle is wild conspiracy theorising. If the Russians wanted to blow up an English city they might as well drop bombs on it directly.

I still wouldn't want to be near a fertiliser ship though so it'd be reasonable to tell it to go somewhere else.
It's probably a fertiliser shipment, but if it were to explode while unloading the intended use does not matter much. If you've seen some footage from the Beirut port explosion in 2020, calling something 7 times as large a 'megabomb' is not inappropriate.

Technically yes, Boeing is responsible for the whole plane, but that's not what I meant. What I meant was that the media will make this an "OMG Boeing very bad!" story while it's quite routine for these things to happen.

And in aviation components it's also a lot more nuanced than some developer blaming a FOSS component without warranty. A supplier of certified aviation components (like Collins in this case) also has a responsibility to deliver components that meet their certification standards. The FAA will go after them directly, not Boeing, if what they ship doesn't pass the certification standards it's sold as having.

DeepMind made huge breakthroughs, agreed. AlphaGo beat a sitting go champion, which was very cool. AlphaFold solved a large number of proteins with verified results. Are we clear on this? Hope you are taking back your ad hominem.

The team that did RL for chips work was at GoogleBrain, and you already pointed out that Google had bad demos. The fact that this team was absorbed into DeepMind does not magically rub the successes of DeepMind onto them.

The RL for chips results were nothing like AlphaGo. Imagine if AlphaGo claimed to beat unknown go players, you would laugh. But the Nature paper on RL for chips claims to outperform unknown chip engineers. Also, imagine if AlphaFold claimed to fold only proprietary proteins. The Nature paper on RL for chips reports results on a small set of proprietary chip blocks (they released one design, and the results are not great on that one). That's where imaginary results come up. One of these things is not like the others.
> The few reasons that are stated are always something like “they’re spying!”

You are completely out of your mind. That is never the argument used against Apple. As mentioned before, you can like your iPhone without simping for them.
Yes the conclusion sounds like the authors have bent some statistics to support their theory.

I fly frequently and have occasionally felt these feelings of anger but NEVER have I started actual boarding in a good mood only for my mood to sour as I get to my seat. The anger has always built up earlier.

To be clear, I'm not trying to refute the study by stating this fact. But I am suggesting that there are obvious other explanations for the observation. For example, the existence of a first class section is highly correlated with the size of the airplane.

Larger airplane size is associated with significantly more queueing - which are far more likely sources of "ragey" feelings. Especially queues which stop moving or are unfair - for example where you have multiple queues and you get put into a slow/stuck one.

I mean who doesn't feel a little surge of irritation, stuck in a queue, when someone is holding up a check-in desk asking a bunch of irrelevant questions.

Also larger aircraft (with first class sections) are more likely to be international which usually means passport checks/visa control - thus more queuing.
When I saw the title first, I've thought that "one of the os remove l" introduces a new incremental conpute engine?

Anyway, it was very impressive.
This is the problem with using "Europe" as anything other than a geographical term.

There is the EU, the Council of Europe (both of which use the same flag BTW), the EEA, the ESA....

Its very sloppy - its worse than calling the UK "England", although maybe not as bad as referring to the UK as "London" (yes, I have come across people who do that).

FTFY. Also, for the sake of disambiguation, just call them braces.

> I love web dev using rust! I use sveltekit and proxy all requests to /api to a rust backend

I think this most people would call this backend-, api- or service development. Especially if your api endpoint does not do anything web specific except http.

Anyway, how do you share types between the backend and frontend? Are you rawdogging json?
The door plug could also be spun as a supplier issues. Ultimately this points to poor supplier management at Boeing. Boeing realizes this, and is taking steps to address it including purchasing Spirit.
There are no sanctions on Russian fertilizers. Europe's fertilizer production is down due to high natural gas prices (I wonder what happened) and import from Russia is up.
It sadly goes not the way of 'done better' but 'done at all' in terms of the helpful AI nonsense. Let me illustrate: I work in a mostly tech-illiterate context, big corpo, all proprietary and 5 departments away, so nobody would move a finger for your customising wishes without a month of foreplay. Me, a teenage script kiddie (css hacks for Myspace, minor AS2 template diddling) started with getting more complicated macros for Sheets. Then, some semi-interactive Apps Script, to collate and structure data. A bit of FTP automation here, JSON parsing there, Geodata alignment, context aware scrapes, PowerShell, minor Python one shots... and now, thanks to our new shitcode overlords, I find myself in the cockpit of a McGuyver supermachine, being able to run dozens of no longer manual, no more weeks in processing and subcontractor-sloppy tasks. Funnily enough I also started seeing patterns, typing out changes in-code, refactoring and integrating old chunks. Why not, then?
Show HN: Free In-Browser .msg Viewer
On my job I needed to see the content of Outlook .msg file. You might assume that, I could simply open it in Outlook app. It might have worked on Windows, but not on Mac. As there it expects .eml instead of .msg. I also didn't want to use any website that in order to parse the file uploads it to an external server. It is insecure and violates the company policy as the internal data can be exposed. So, I decided to create a simple .msg viewer that doesn't send any request to an external server and reads the file in browser. It is extremely fast and safe as the data is not shared with third parties.
> Average software developer salary is 5000€ net per month

Huh? That is far above the average developer salary. Even in a big city this would only be plausible in a highly demanded specialty and high experience level. Far from average.

Sounds like an outlier to me, unless you can provide some statistics.

Then get ready for the raise of the prices on agricultural products in Europe. What's explosive for you is fertilizer for the farmers.
Per volume or per weight, first class pays more than economy. They’re subsidizing seats in economy. So by your logic, economy is stealing from first class, not the other way around.

Before first class, fewer people could afford to fly. Airlines adopted first class to lower costs for a wider range of people to afford to fly.

Either Freakonomics or Planet Money has an episode to cover exactly this.
From the Wikipedia article [1]:

"In the second case, the explosion results from a fire that spreads into the ammonium nitrate (AN) itself (Texas City, Brest, Tianjin, Beirut) or to a mixture of an ammonium nitrate with a combustible material during the fire. The fire must be confined at least to a degree for successful transition from a fire to an explosion (a phenomenon known as "deflagration to detonation transition", or DDT). Pure, compact AN is stable and very difficult to initiate.
Ammonium nitrate decomposes in temperatures above 169 °C (336 °F). Pure AN is stable and will stop decomposing once the heat source is removed, but when catalysts are present, the reaction can become self-sustaining (known as self-sustaining decomposition, or SSD). This is a well-known hazard with some types of NPK fertilizers and is responsible for the loss of several cargo ships."

Yeah I was thinking the same. Must have passed the Sont bridge (connecting Malmö to Kopenhagen) twice.

Might have been a way of implying: whatever threats Ukraine may put on the Kerch bridge... well we obviously have means to retaliate "the west".

In my editor I just press Ctrl+x, 8, Enter, and then I can look up Unicode codepoints based on either the hex code or the name. Alternatively you could do the whole Unix 'do one thing and do it well' thing and use a character selection program which allows you to look up a character (I've got KCharSelect, I believe Windows has a similar thing called Charmap or something).
The phrasing sounds a bit odd: surely "most codebases" don't use JSX, so why would they enforce anything JSX-related.
I agree also that news report are missing to report on what is the most interesting part to understand the problem:

What was intended with this shipment in the first place? who is responsible for it? Regarding current international sanction, what was this ship doing loading or unloading in Russia and then going to any cost in Europe.

Also, wouldn't it possible to unload it by smaller units with smaller boats why at the see?
Not at all.

And even our autotools are still full of x-hacks without double quotes. He completely missed the point of the x-hack. Which obviously fails with spaces.
Many alternatives:

- Like the sibling mentioned, you can use a “compose key” (it’s built in on Linux and can be installed on other platforms). There are other OS-wide options like the TeX input method for Gnome, or TextExpander snippets on Mac.

- In Vim, Ctrl-K in insert mode lets you enter “digraphs”. For instance, Ctrl-K *s will insert a Greek letter “sigma”.

- In Emacs, C-\ will activate an “input method” such as the “TeX” input method that can insert any math or Greek Unicode symbol using LaTeX notation. (I personally like Emacs’ “transient” input method that is activated for one symbol at a time, since it interferes less with coding.)

- In Sublime Text and VSCode there are third-party plugins that insert Unicode symbols via e.g. TeX notation.

- Every Julia editor extension, as well as its REPL, lets you press tab to convert a set of LaTeX-like notations into Unicode symbols in a common way.

- Most editors have support for snippets of some kind, and many have available snippet packs for common math and Greek symbols.

Looks like something went very wrong there. The GC may not be super optimised, but it's still practical.
I have never heard about such drastic performance issues. And I'm aware of quite a few companies who use Crystal in heavy production loads for exactly the web server + db use case without such issue reports.
So I'd suggest the root cause might be something else then the GC implementation.

Ammonium nitrate is explosive by itself. It doesn’t need fuel or oxidizer. By adjusting its pH level the breakdown reaction can be prevented and the compound stabilized, but it decays over time or when improperly stored.
Maybe horizontal surfaces too? Like roads and pavements? Let's become industrial elves.
You don’t know that, this is pure speculation.

With Apple, you're allowed to have privacy unless, of course, you're trying to promote democracy in Russia [1], organize anti-government protests in China [2], or otherwise communicate privately without government's approval [3].

Of course, all of that security is a theater as far as government agencies are concerned because Cellebrite, an US-allied firm, can unlock the devices a few months after each iOS release [4]

This is just one, simple example usage.

This year ie 2024 world will add more solar power than the total consumption growth. This is despite the tariffs and sanctions on Chinese panels and batteries. I think the world is at the cusp of dramatic change that would come faster if not for western countries trying to protect their industries. I think adding more renewables as fast as possible specially solar is the best option as this will make essentially energy free which will decrease carbon production as well as allow to use the energy to capture carbon. Maybe we can get some nuclear fission or fusion breakthrough in the future but adding solar, wind and batteries as fast as possible should be the main focus for now.
You make it sound as if you can produce natural gas out of a fertilizer.
If this were a threat, how would the Russians coerce a ship full of sailors to not surrender or abandon the ship rather than choose between vaporisation or arrest or death by navy when trying to escape the aftermath (assuming they even have boats that can get away from the blast)?

For vim/neovim users you can use digraphs, where you press `<C-k>` followed by a 2-character code to get a symbol (see `:help digraphs` and `:help digraph-table`).

For example,

<C-k> -> gives →
<C-k> => gives ⇒
<C-k> d* gives δ (greeks are generally all _letter_*)
<C-k> D* gives Δ

Some of the combinations are a little weird to rememeber, but if you use them regularly then it's easy enough (like greek or arrows).

How are they going to drop a bomb on it? Bomber? Rocket?

If a ship explodes, Putin will deny everything, and grudgingly everyone will accept it, because you can't be certain, and we don't want war. But if a long-range bomber leaves Russia, flies to Liverpool and drops a bomb, it's an open declaration of war.

Not all life is connected to earths atmosphere. That that doomsday weapon is missing caves which contain multicellular life across geologic timescales. The ecosystems dependent on chemical synthesis at deep ocean vents would similarly be unaffected.

Wasn't this kinda the plot of The Giver? Not eating, but killing.

It took them some work to undo the indoctrination. Middle-school me wasn't sure if that was right. But empathy is actually an involuntary instinct in most humans, and I think Lowry was right in that most people will find such things "evil" when faced with the its reality.

Of course in real life there are places and situations where it is normalized to harm children. E.G. Currently unfolding with Sean Combs. But anybody outside those situations rightfully considers that disgusting and aberrant on finding out, and those inside it find ways to bury and rationalize their discomfort and end up traumatized for it instead of actually thinking it's good.

Either way, analogy is not false equivalency. And neither are OP's moral decisions an indictment of your culinary preference, nor does your culinary preference have any bearing on OP's morally motivated decisions.
The problem with the Google Nature paper is that its results were not reproduced outside Google. You can attack attempts to reproduce but that only reinforces the point: those claimed results cannot be trusted.

Other commenters already addressed the pre-training issue. Please kindly include a link to Kahng's 2023 discussion addressing your complaints. Otherwise, you are unfairly supporting those people you know.

Kahng's placer is open-source and was used in the Nature paper. It does not make sense to accuse Kahng of colluding with companies against open-source.
In the sense in that literally everything in the world is quantum, sure. But no, I mean sensors which derive their input channel from explicitly quantum effects. Gravometers, magnometers, atomic clocks, etc. are often quantum sensors.
Didn’t they try to dock in two infrastructure-critical ports with a damaged vessel? How about the order of the docking?

There must be some sort of remote outport where it can dock without the fear of obliterating critical infrastructure.

Chances are it docks, it gets abandoned because there’s no money to fix it, and it stays conveniently parked until an “unfortunate” fire happens.

Plausible deniability is the modus operandi of Russian operations. Borderline Personality Disorder-style scorched earth retaliation is more so.
I'm a core developer of Crystal.
Crystal's dynamic nature is only in the source code. It generates highly optimized code thanks to LLVM codegen.
So performance is generally comparable to other compiled languages like Go, Rust or C.
Of course there are differences depending on specific use cases.
A workload with lots of memory allocations means a high workload for GC which could be less efficient than an implementation that uses no garbage collection. But even that depends.
For example imagine if you had say 2 CPU cores that appeared as one and each core would guess the opposite branch of the other (branch prediction) so that it was "right" more of the time.

I belive some CPUs do speculate down both paths of branches if the branch predictor was really uncertain which one to take.
I agree with the sentiment but GitHub issues is not a good replacement. First, it’s also owned by a corporation and is available on the open web today because they let us (is it even scrape/api available today? Can people build tooling on top?). Anyway, this “openness” can easily be changed once the “value extraction knob” is turned.

Secondly, GitHub is a developer platform, not a user/enjoyer platform. Issue reports are high-barrier even for devs. People get upset if you’re asking a random question, don’t check for duplicates, etc. Some people even get upset about issues without a PR.

Again, I’m all for good open alternatives but when HN is like “you just configure Gentoo and type 30 commands” we don’t stand a chance to actually win users over, gotta accept reality before we can improve it…
