Not everyone who plays MMOs are active participants. Majority of people in a guild are not active participants. A lot of them won't even get on a shared voice call anymore to listen to instructions during large group events.

A lot of MMOs also make active collaboration a complete pain, whether it's introducing a messed up matchmaking system, not dealing with bots, or adding new content that rewards you for going at it alone. A lot of content now is quite literally zero communication, not even a message in chat, just queue for group, do content and leave.

And people will spend 5+ hours a day doing that. Farming mindlessly as if it's a second job.
Nothing wrong with blogs, but I think it’s useful just to be real what it is we’re doing. I don’t think there’s a moral obligation or a unique social benefit to creating WordPress.

You can enjoy your job, and I do too, but I don’t claim to be doing anything extraordinary.
Airplanes bleed external air from the engines into the cabin, which leads to an extremely dry environment. Possibly dry enough to harden and crack mucus. Or perhaps in dry environments the body just decides not to waste water on mucus generation. I have no idea.
> Should they be allowed to imprison you if those that write laws believe in something without hard evidence and for which harm is likely unprovable?

Should they? Maybe not - penalties that are disproportionate to provable harm seem unjust and opposed to personal liberty.

Do they? Absolutely, because for certain things we've decided (rightly or wrongly) that we should lock people up. For example, a case of attempted murder can result in a life sentence, even if the attempted victim is provably very alive and physically unharmed.
Thanks for that!

Much better!
They mix 225g sand with 50g of corn starch.

It's more "sand based" than "corn based".

Cheaper camera hardware, more advanced software with computational photography?
You are likely an outlier. Ad targeting is very good at predicting you IF you fall into a cohort that behaves the same as each other. There's only way to find out the answer to this anyway (export our ad targeting data, share it into an anonymous open source pool, and analyze it)
I don't know, TBH. It definitely spools up my GPU hard, but that could just be standard maths, not ML inference. It works very, very well for me.

Adobe actually has a definite ML version in Photoshop under their "Neural Filters" named "Depth Blur (beta)", which is actual AI, but I have slightly poorer results from that than I do with their mainstream "Lens Blur" on Camera Raw.
Sable was on the hook for costs after losing. I imagine this settlement was a fraction of what they owed. If there is truly justice in this world, Sable principals will have to go out of pocket for tax liabilities and costs associated with shutting it down.
It's parasocial media if anything
Apple controls the full driver stack while Microsoft does not. I've had to re-work HID interaction on Windows with WinForms and WPF to work around problematic touch interface drivers on Windows 7 and 10.

Microsoft is more towards licensing software to make money versus making a quality product top down.
Yes, it's impossible.
I still remember playing Anarchy Online in the mid 2000s and teaming up for a few hours with a guy who'd broken his back a month or so prior. He talked about how he got so much happiness from the social interaction and a sense of helping people (he was much higher level than me) within the game when he was otherwise bedridden.
> In the US, about 1/5 children are hospitalized each year that don’t have a caregiver. Caregiver such as play therapists and parents’ stress can also affect children's emotions.

Trust me, large language models are not anywhere close to being able to substitute as an effective parent, therapist, or caregiver. In fact, I'd wager any attempts to do so would have mostly _negative_ effects.

I would implore you to reconsider this as a legitimate use case for your open device.

> We believe this is a complement tool and it is not intended to replace anyone.

Well which is it? Both issues you list heavily imply that your tool will serve as a de facto replacement. But then you finish by saying you don't intend to do that. So what aspects of the problems you listed will be solved as a simple "complement tool"?
That's what sucks...

It -could- be. A770s are about 300 bucks right now.

Even if they charged 600-700$ for a 32GB variant that would be an upset.

Then lots of folks would probably work to improve the software tooling story for the cards...

And then Intel has a better foot in the door for 'bigger' hardware in the space.
It has to run on a computer. How would you simulate rational arithmetic?
in concrete, cement makes up less than 25% of the mix, and here corn is like 20%, so I think when you're comparing this class of materials (concrete, epoxy granite, concrete), it makes sense to describe in terms of the binder even if it is a smaller % of the complete product.
I thought that might be the case. On that: even though other big players haven't copied that particular feature, I doubt (though I'm not by any means an expert) that it's anywhere near as hard to replicate as the fundamental model. I do agree that at least product-wise, they're trying to differentiate through these sort of model-adjacent features, but I think these are classic product problems requiring product solutions rather than deep tech innovation. Claude Artifacts, GPT Canvas, speech, editor integration, GitHub integration, live video integration, that kind of stuff.
Got a transistor radio as a birthday gift as a young boy, near as I can remember it would have been early sixties. It was a Zenith and didn't look a lot different from the one in the picture. The Detroit music scene was vibrant back then on AM radio Also late at night got introduced to blues on a Chicago station and was never quite the same.

After fifty years the radio was still going strong and I gifted it to my Dad so he could listen to his beloved Detroit Tigers when a game wasn't on cable. I wanted to reclaim it when he passed away but we could never find it in his room. I'd like to think someone is still using it.
It’s not a hypothetical we aren’t assuming spherical cows today. Those specific people have a long and public track record that answers this question.

It’s not a secret, like I said. There are plenty of editors out there who have never decided to concoct ludicrous stories of Al Queda bases in the Amazon to name one example.

So, going to dox myself since there are likely under 50k of us on earth, but I'm palauan. I told my malaysian colleagues this and they mentioned this very thing to me about the word pulau. Palau is anglicisation of the palauan world "belau" although the
'b' can be a soft 'p' or vice-versa in the language depending on the word.

I haven't learned too deeply about what athropologists generally think of palau's original settlement and the carolines in general but likely my ancestors were part of the Austronesian migration as other commentors said, although most of the maps I see show it coming from the philipines instead of indonesia/malaysia, so it might be from the same original source albeit on different branches. We share some similar words (babii=pig and I find a striking similarity between "makan" and "mengang" which is palauan for "eating") but the language structure seems quite different to me than bahasa melayu/bahasa indonesia generally. Also, given the cross colonisation/migration of colonised people as labourers from before WWII, I'm not really sure which words are palauan or just imports from SEA generally in the modern era after european and japanese contact. For example, we eat rambutan which we call "rambotang" although I think the fruits were just imported by the colonisers.

That said, I now live in singapore and the first time I saw images of Batak houses it was jarring because they look a hell lot like our traditional chief houses called "bai" [1], and I had never seen anything else like them in elsewhere in the world. Due to historical reasons since the end of WWII we don't have many dealing with indonesia today.

Middle boxes (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlebox) are a well known source of protocol stagnation. A protocol with extensibility usually needs the client and server to upgrade, but with middle boxes there are N other devices that potentially need updating as well. Where the user (client) and service provider (server) are motivated to adopt new feature sets, the owners of middle boxes might be far less so. In net, it makes it hard for protocols to evolve.
Either Joel or Jeff wrote about this in the context of Stack Overflow. A developer who thinks of making Stack Overflow imagines writing SQL:

create table users (id integer autoincrement primary key, username varchar(32), password_hash varbinary(32));
create table questions (id integer autoincrement primary key, user integer references users(id), title varchar(256), body bigtext);
create table answers (id integer autoincrement primary key, question integer references questions(id), user integer references users(id), body bigtext);

but actually that's just a tiny fraction of actually making Stack Overflow.
Supabase has very easy to setup auth while scaling beyond auth. You can use it standalone without issue.
I tend to give those who are being invaded and genocided a little leeway in being angry and expressing anger/name-calling at their oppressors & murderers. This could end tomorrow if Russia pulls out or starts pulling back. I think it all boils down to that in the end, and it really is quite simple. The article however is still quite interesting as a study of propaganda.

I like this! HN gatherings used to happen in the past in various cities, are they still a thing? I’m envious of the irl meetings ACX community is having.
Rational arithmetic represents numbers as a numerator and denominator (rational numbers). There are hundreds (at least) of libraries that implement rational arithmetic on a computer.

If you believe http://www.nato.int then "NATO does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia."

If you live in a real world then a country with 10-100 times less military/economic power has no chance of not being dismantled with 10s of millions dead in the aftermath, and a few individuals become even richer exploiting the remains.
As stated: rationals are more general purpose, hence more complicated.

The chord progression is i^o II iii iv V VI vii, which are the successive triads of a locrian scale, which is like a major scale but you start from the 7th note of the scale (ti). In this case, use A flat major, but start on G.
It would be interesting to see who the judges are more carefully and how they determine quality. Ideas about what is low quality or misinformation are highly subjective. For example many republicans AND democrats believe misinformation about Snowden or Assange, and label their findings as misinformation too. I wonder if slicing up the judge group by other traits like geography and income and so on would tell us more.
Matt Mullenweg is angry at WP Engine (owners of ACF). He thinks they don't contribute enough to Wordpress development, so he's enacted a "nuclear" approach to dealing with it. WP Engine has filed a lawsuit against Automattic and Matt, so not Automattic is claiming they know of a vuln in ACF and will disclose it in 30 days.
This sounds science-y.

In fact, I use NeilMed, a commercial saline & bicarb powder together with distilled water, and I know from past exchanges on HN that lots of others here do, too. My own doctor said it was fine and lots of her patients do it. The solution runs out the other nostril, which is gross so you do it in private.

I have very few colds, allergies, or sinus infections since starting it, although it doesn't eliminate them all.

This Fort Detrick guy, though... that might be misinformation. I use the spray once a day, twice if I have a cold. Definitely not constantly.
It is not, it’s a fact backed by many sources and the simple fact that Russia could choose to leave tomorrow and it all stop. This is 100% on Russian & Putin and weasel words should not be used to describe what is happening
If you found a stock price that actually follows the geometric Brownian motion pattern this model is built on, wouldn't that basically just print you an infinite amount of money? The expected value of the price movement one time-unit later would be positive.
I also had a wholesome and fulfilling world of warcraft experience growing up. I'm fully abled and am not into how people only seem to recognize the fullness of relationships in videogames when that relationship is happening to a person you have a prejudice about. I am glad that he had access to this and I am glad that people are recognizing this experiences' value. I would love to see more people recognize the possibility of having healthy relationships in online spaces. I also am worried this is going to be seen as another instance of people with disabilities (or disabled people if you please) being infantilized in a way that insults this young man, other people with disabilities, and also people who have good experiences growing up in online communities.

Edit: I just kind of tried to summarize my feelings here - which is not that interesting. Overall this is great! I too had a similar experience and recognize a fellow traveler. Also, boy, am I worried "the discourse" will go in a disappointing direction around this but I hope it won't!
I don’t think that that commenter tried to justify bad things, they only brought up a seemingly skewed perception of different nations by users of this forum. The fact that you see it as a sort of justification alone should be thought inducing. They simply added a contrast to what OP was already talking about in a delicate way, which was for reasons similar to those that generated this whole subthread.
Either way, you're doing socializing wrong. the only acceptable way of socializing is how our parents did it. In person, with lots of alcohol, and the only qualifier was physical proximity.

Is this really about CERN’s skill or CERN’s access? I bet many startups could revolutionize the medical industry but lack capital or access to patient data or access to customers (gate keeping by hospitals and insurance companies and regulations and so on).
> I really like this phrase:

Thank you. I don't think it really explains the distinction, of course. It just makes it clear there necessarily must be one, and it can't be wished away by discussions of larger training sets, more token context, or whatever. It never will be wished away.
Well, his parents supposed otherwise.

That's it exactly for me. Squirt bottle seems more effective than Neti pot, just because there's some force in the water.

You DO need the powder, though; otherwise the water burns like hell.
I suffer from psoriasis.
This seems like another 'solution' that really only addresses how the diseases manifest but not the root cause.
I can go get a shot today that blunts my immune system, and my psoriasis will calm down for a year but I'll probably get a couple wicked chest colds.

Autoimmune diseases in no small part ruined my life. Forgive me if I seem rude, but I don't trust pharma to solve jack or shit without the correct financial incentives, and those proper financial incentives just can't organically exist for chronic sufferers of any novel disease.

Holy hell. This was inevitable.

Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything.

The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems in 1994 by the CALEA law, then controversially extended to broadband by the FCC in '04.

That's right folks. Broadband is so important that it must have backdoors for cops, but not important enough for the FCC to require consumer protections
Well, my company is doing it already. They split VPN traffic depending on the target domain (mostly for benign reasons), and that can't do it with QUIC, so they have to block QUIC traffic.
Given that in France "water" means carbonated water and you have to specifically ask for "still water" I can't imagine the gas being that bad for you.

Well, 7-year-olds don’t know a lot of math, typically, so I wouldn’t ask one that question. “Linear” has a very precise mathematical definition, which is not “made of some straight lines”, that when used properly enables entire fields of endeavor.

It would be less confusing if you chose a different word, or at least defined the ones you’re using. In fact, if you tried to precisely express what you mean by saying something is “more linear”, that might be a really interesting exploration.

A quarter pounder with cheese or Big Mac just hits different than any other burger. (That's not to say there's not better burgers, but there's a specific McD taste profile which is enjoyable). Sometimes you just want that thing.

100%. These were the arguments we had with Microsoft, Nokia etc. We tested subscriptions a lot in 2000-2004, but you have to remember, this was DOWNLOAD subscriptions. So what would happen is, if you failed to pay you ended up with a player or hard drive filled with thousands of "MP3" files that you could no longer play because the DRM license had expired. The customers were livid as fuck about this scenario.

My argument was to have all-you-can-eat streaming subscriptions, but it was shot down, and at the time mobile data was pretty shitty (I built the original streaming service on a 9600bps GSM modem in 1999) so you could only stream at home.

No, it's not selected criteria. Your POV seems focused on an easily explainable classification style model. However, Ads (or any recommender) ML models have been using black box neural networks for a long while now. Lookalike audiences are most commonly used when the Advertiser does not know the criteria - instead hoping FB/Google can magically match their ads with users who are "similar" in web activity or whatever, and hopefully lead to conversions.

It's hard to explain a black box, but for eg, a Todo list SaaS company uploads a list of customers most likely having a diverse set of interests and behaviors. The NN matches more users that all seem like they'd be likely to buy such a SaaS because it figured they're in the market, or have disposable income, or maybe have searched for productivity solutions, or maybe have browsed some competitors, or have the same apriori but unrelated actions as someone who ended up doing the above or a combination of all of these.

Interesting. The degradation in wet conditions seems like a major challenge to solve.

I initially was skeptical of the utility when I saw the mention of heating requirements, but the temperatures aren’t that extreme, and seem very reasonably achieved with electrified energy sources (which in turn can easily be supplied via renewables).

Being able to produce concrete without the emissions involved with the production of portland cement is a major goal of decarbonizing the building stock, so it’s always good to see new lines of research in this front, even if still in the germinal stages!
