No, not necessarily. Frankly it's of no use, or is actively counterproductive, in many fields.
Consumer demand in populated areas sure, but out in the boonies digital radio doesn’t work as well.

Not being popular isn’t a reason to declare something as dead or useless.

The point seems to be the author found very different estimates of just how much worse b-trees would be. As the author notes, hashmaps have some less desirable properties as well. So the author ran some benchmarks to find out, and ended with the following conclusion:

Overall, I'm unconvinced that it's worth exploring btrees further. I'll stick to hashmaps and I'll either iterate in insertion order or I'll require sorting entries before iterating.

What I love about these announcements is how good they are at explaining the concept. Click the "Press release" or "Advanced information" and get something easily digestible. Also fun to watch the talks the winners hold, they're often good at explaining.
Traffic lights are sort of a 'patch' on them. They usually start off without them, they realise theres flow issues that prevent people coming out of one junction, and its going to either be too costly or impractical (space is a massive issue in the uk remember) to switch to something more complex, so lights are used as a permanent stopgap.

One example of where this has been an ongoing issue for decades is the Black Cat Roundabout on the A1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Roundabout). It's gone through numerous changes to improve things, with lights at various points being one of them. Finally now though its being completely redeveloped to a grade-separated junction as traffic has massively outgrown the roundabout.

> It's a weird trend that seems almost entirely motivated by people wanting open source projects in their resume

That’s really harsh and misguided. If people didn’t do “paper thin abstractions” projects on their own time for the simple pleasure of doing it we wouldn’t have 90% of the successful projects we have today.

Let people have fun and don’t judge their motives when they’re making something Open Source. I can guarantee the person just thought “this would be cool to have” and implemented it.
SOAP - an XML communication protocol - was big back in the early 2000s. Although no where near the scale of AI! Kind of an insiders trend.

> It breaks poems

Which almost always have short lines and are almost never actually broken by soft-wrapping for any reasonable viewport size

> code

Which shouldn't be hard-wrapped in the first place

> ascii art

Which usually also have short lines, and if it gets wrapped, you can zoom out (which you usually want to in order to see the ASCII art anyway)

> emails

Which shouldn't be hard-wrapped in the first place either

> man page

Which also shouldn't be hard-wrapped in the first place

Half of the things that you're talking about are not broken by Safari, they're broken by hard wrapping (and the other two are unlikely to be broken in the first place and make up a tiny minority of content). As stated upwards, hard-wrapping is incorrect almost everywhere. (poems and ASCII art are not "hard wrapping" because the linebreaks are part of the content, and adding the required newlines is not "hard wrapping" any more than adding a newline between paragraphs is "hard wrapping")

> It is only the right choice for plain text books.

It's always the right choice, because it wastes screen space and causes reading headaches because you do not have a crystal ball and you do not know the user's screen dimensions and font size.

If you hard-wrap to 80 characters and the user's viewport size (whether for web browsers or terminals, doesn't matter) is 160 characters, you are wasting 50% of their screen space by hard-wrapping. If you hard-wrap to 80 and their viewport is 79, you are also wasting 50% of their screen because every other line will have a lone character on it, which also causes massive reading problems. These statements are factual.

> To be noted, on windows + touchpad, you have 2 different zooms (in Edge and in Firefox at least): a font zoom and a pinch zoom. So on notebooks, both fixed-length text files, and both book type text files are readable.

This is a useful feature in general - but it does not excuse hard-wrapping. Not all platforms have these features (and they're unavailable in terminals), and imposes the author's column width on the user. If I want more than 80 columns of text, I should be able to get it.
I believe most use cases where really shallow draft is required has been taken over by waterjets. Less efficient than propellers, particularly at slow speed, but more efficient than paddle wheels, AFAIU.

Then there's other things like channels having been dredged over the years, roads have been massively improved, ships have echo sounders etc., so maybe there's less need nowadays for traversing really shallow waters with big boats.

Is it actually hard to tell when someone says something like this that they’re referring to extreme points along a spectrum?

Nobody would interpret “the Cybertruck is really bad for pedestrian safety” as “all other trucks are completely fine” or frankly even as “bicycles and rollerblades pose no risk at all to pedestrians.”
Hey, one of the latest imports from the US to France.

We had the case of two sovereign citizens stopped by the police who was dumbfounded when these people were constantly saying that they "do not contract with the enterprise French republic" (the sentence does not make grammatical sense in French).

Stretching the mental legs of young readers has value so having a few series of quick, punchy, engaging literary trash is a good thing.

When I was a kid, Point Horror, Goosebumps and various adventure books were the reading gym that gave me the stamina for the books I actually enjoyed (Tolkien, Pullman, and so much Pratchett).

I'm going through this with my daughter now. We still lean on thriller subjects but there is so much more choice. Goodreads is great for finding subgenres of interest and then similar books to ones that hit the mark.

But use your local library. Pick up random books co-read opening chapters, and review the style and quality together. Use your judgement and public reviews to bin out the real trash and slowly but surely give then confidence to pick up real literature.

Forcing your kid to grind through a book rarely goes well but if you really want to push it, taking it in turns to read aloud can inject enough performative energy to carry it.
Fast also means more CPU Ressource efficient.

I am all in for not wasting more and more resources.

Did you make the same predictions about dBASE/Paradox, MS Access, 4GLs, that weird Sun thing there you made Java applets via dragging and dropping logic diagrams, etc, at the time?

That is difficult to disagree with when I see this:

When they throw hundreds of thousands of Euros around, without having the competence for spending a fraction of that for checking that it is used as intended, then they shouldn't have that ability.
This gave me flashbacks to my youth of PHP programming. " headers already sent by (output started at ....", when you tried to modify headers but had already started to write the http content (hence the header part was set in stone)
I imagine more program would break if time stops advancing at a reasonable pace than those that break by getting weird times due to wraparound. Delays and animations are much more common than caring about absolute timestamps.

Selective Attention Improves Transformer
Unneeded elements in the attention’s context degrade performance. We introduce Selective Attention, a simple parameter-free change to the standard attention
mechanism which reduces attention to unneeded elements. Selective attention improves language modeling performance in a variety of model sizes and context
lengths. For example, a range of transformers trained with the language modeling objective on C4 with selective attention perform equivalently to standard transformers with ∼2X more heads and parameters in their attention modules. Selective attention also allows decreasing the size of the attention’s context buffer, leading to meaningful reductions in the memory and compute requirements during inference. For example, transformers with 100M parameters trained on C4 with context sizes of 512, 1,024, and 2,048 need 16X, 25X, and 47X less memory for their attention module, respectively, when equipped with selective attention, as those without selective attention, with the same validation perplexity
Show HN: Visualization of website accessibility tree
When COVID-19 started I needed something to get busy to not go crazy. I happened to work on our app WCAG compliance for a few months at the time and was frustrated by the state of of accessibility-related tools for developers.

I've spend two months delivering a tool that is easy to understand and helps catching accessibility issues on my apps. A few years later it's pretty popular despite being mostly abandoned.

I will be happy to work on this further but honestly lost my enthusiasm some time ago. I'd love to get in touch with some company in the accessibility testing space and discuss how to improve it.
I realize many take your comment as naive, but it may be that such a process won't be possible with non-biological solutions (ECMO, dialysis, etc) but will need to wait for fully bio-engineered solutions.
I think there's some cases where the medium is part of the experience, Radio Caroline in the UK are a former offshore pirate who used AM by necessity in their heyday (they'd anchor the ship just outside of British territorial waters to circumvent the BBC monopoly). The revival station worked hard to convince Ofcom to let them operate on AM given their historic connection to the medium, but they were granted a licence and are probably one of the few AM stations in the UK not in terminal decline.

Indeed! It blew my mind when I read that factoid in the Glasgow transportation museum(?) back when I visited about 10 years ago.

FWIW, a similar percentage of the world's steam locomotives were also made in the area in the same timeframe. Mind-boggling concentration of the worldwide heavy industry at the time!
Honestly, I think that we're coming at this from very different perspectives.

Single imputation is garbage for accurate inference, as it reduces variance and thus confidence intervals as P(missing) increases.

MI is a useful method for alleviating this bias (though at the cost of a lot more compute).

That's why it gets used, and it's performed extremely well in real world analyses for basically my entire life (and I'm middle-aged now).

> especially in the unsupervised context.

I wouldn't use MI in an unsupervised context (but maybe some people do).
Insurers work with data/metrics and generally make decisions based on that alone[1]. I often feel that it's unfair that I pay more as a male, because I am an extremely responsible and defensive driver - fact is, men cause more expensive accidents more often. That's the data, that's what insurers care about.

At some point Geico likely did insure super cars, up until they started becoming highly anomalous in the data. The same has happened to cybertrucks, whether your highly restricted sample demonstrates it or not.

Insurance companies don't turn away profitable customers. Cybertrucks became a problem for Geico, but they are being tight lipped as to why; it might not be a reliability issue.

Allauth is great. It has so many feature flags for all the microdecisions you want to tune. Social account merges with email account or not... it is configurable! Email confirmation required? Configurable! And it just works.
NextJS is just for building the frontend. If you have an API layer written in Deno or whatever then you still need that.

Reading online there seems to be a lot of confusion about what NextJS is with questions like is it better than nodejs, is it a backend server etc.

It runs on a server, on nodejs, but it doesn't provide what most people think of as the backend. It serves the frontend files. It does a bunch of extra things for the frontend.

Presumably there is a way to run your own api code alongside it in the same node instances. Not sure if that's wise or not.

I personally prefer to start off with a plain react project with vite as the bundler and then host that statically without the extra SSR stuff. For an app website I think that's a better approach. For a informational website I'd probably look to other solutions.
> I wonder if all these reports of various changes for the better after stopping drinking (moderately, of course, not talking about people with alcoholism problems)

I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the problem; some families I know consider a glass or two of wine with every dinner to be "moderate". Every Saturday and Sunday involves at least two bottles of wine each of those days, and it's called "moderate".

If they stopped their current habits I would not be surprised to hear that they saw a marked improvement in their health metrics.

I call myself "moderate", and have maybe two or three drinks per year, and never more than a single drink per occasion. I would not expect to see any improvement in my health metrics by cutting that out.
Rust and ‘minimal effort’ have to business being in the same room.
What are you talking about? Why would you multiply the bandwidth? 8 4090s is still 1000GB/s. While the M2 Ultra is 800GB/s with a top of 192GB VRAM. Metal can access ~155GB, so you need a bit more, but your comparison makes absolutely zero sense.
It still seems to me a better solution to these sorts of problems is to use a better shell like nushell, that has richer datatypes, and so you can use the same tool to manipulate files, processes, json, csv, databases and more.
anydesk relies on a relay/third-party. this seems more like a direct connection (needs something like tailscale for remote access)
Have you looked at the size of some of the shared libraries on your system. E.g. check Qt. You don't want to statically link that into every tiny utility program.
> That will use up your data.

I've lived in Asia and Europe and data is so cheap and plentiful that I'm never changing my behaviour to save a few MBs.

If you have a way of obtaining this money for MOND, that would be great. Until then the scientific community will focus the limited resources on the more sound ideas. And will focus less on a theory that have the potential to evade all observational contradictions by changing the fitting parameters.

And please don't compare that with dark matter because it has very well integrated framework with particle physics. It does not come merely as a way to only explain galaxy rotation curves while having problems with any larger structures.
That's interesting! I absolutely don't feel the need for a massive framework.

I think a good part of the devs community has been burned by some framework at some point and doesn't feel the need for web frameworks, hence why nobody bothered to make Rails for rust.
In a professional setting, all the services I interact with, have been implemented on top of express (node.js) or fast-api (python).
I know people working in ecommerce who rely heavily on django or woocommerce, but rust usage among them is pretty low.

Rust is also one language where there are very little junior people, so you'll see wire-it-yourself library more than frameworks. Eg. sqlx is imho the best compromise in the ORM vs query builder vs plain sql debate: you get typechecked plain sql.

I think axum is very well architected and type checked routes offer a great DX (except for the tower::Service compatibility - sure, it's nice to have compatibility but the resulting code is quite clunky), and I'd rather have smaller components I understand over a huge black box.
Facebook launches a Gen Z-focused redesign
Video services use adaptive bitrate so a 1 second sample will give a very variable estimate. If you can watch the full video and monitor the NIC bandwidth (or, if you don't want to count headers, download the full video and look at the media info average bitrate) you'll get a more consistent number. For 1080p TV type content it's often a lot more than 262 MB/h. Raw should be 192010803*24 = ~149 MB since there are 24 frames in a second, keeping that magic of video compression alive despite the larger base rate.

Netflix actually gives the value of 3 GB/hour directly for high definition content https://help.netflix.com/en/node/87 which is ~833 KB in one second (or about an average 6 mbps plus some delivery overhead) which simplifies things quite a bit though.

Encryption is an interesting thought in that LoRaWAN will have encryption built in and the device would typically expect the gateway to handle producing that to IPv6 with traditional encryption and application headers. CTR is used so the packets don't gain much bloat, the minimum size is ~bytes and the maximum size is ~256 bytes. Temperature reports (4 byte float) typically fit in that 50 byte minimal packet category or 432 KB/day reporting every 10 seconds. So I suppose my estimate of 5x was a bit high after all, maybe 1-2x would have been more apt :). But it does beg the question, back to your point, what would that look like in this WiLo protocol? Standard Wi-Fi has a minimum frame size in the air is going to be closer to 100 bytes (minimum Ethernet length of 64 plus Wi-Fi bits). On top of that Wi-Fi doesn't usually act as the gateway like LoRa - does the IoT device now need to package everything in IPv6 + transport security itself and send it over the air with WiLo or is the expectation APs would be more gateway like for these clients? Dunno, wasn't able to read the actual paper in the link to see what is proposed :).
