Gee, almost as if decades of austerity politics, lobbying by financial interests, and regulatory capture has malformed a well intentioned regulatory apparatus? Seems like we need more regulation that's less interested in what "united citizens" have to say. (read lobbyists)

How are you arriving at that assessment of regulation of spaceX? i'd be interested in reading more.
I noticed this is an issue, even for a technical person like me, sometimes writing SQL queries takes a lot of time. I am working and improving the text-to-SQL feature that I added to UXWizz: https://docs.uxwizz.com/guides/ask-ai

This is more for website analytics, but I am thinking I could add a way to store arbitrary data too (custom events, not necessarily related to a browsing session on your website).
I have thinking about doing this for a while. How does one go about verifying whether a business is PE owned or not?
Is there typst based static docs generator out there ?
There's been a running joke about it since the R12 days.

The joke is usually some play on government being in bed with the chemical industry lobbyists and banning things as soon as the 3rd world starts being able to make them cheaply.
You've got the right general idea but the difference between `s` and `t` is not for nesting - you can write a composition operator for a "simple" lens where s=t and a=b.

`b` and `t` are just for type-changing updates, like when you replace a field in a tuple or every element in a list.

If you are thinking of it being more like pressing "Home" then "Enter", it would seem that "Enter" actually works more like LFCR ?
The fastest and simplest way is to ask them directly by calling or emailing. Searching for information about private legal entities, while possible, is inconvenient and usually incomplete/sparse.
They carried the debt. Why shouldn’t everyone else?

Regarding this issue…I don’t think the author is advocating for patching standards. Just consider CR as deprecated and use it only for backward compatibility.

I do it similarly. I don’t convert line endings but any new project uses LF irrespective of the OS and configured as such in the editor.
No one is talking about Microsoft and whatever it does on its platform, the parent comment is about network protocols (HTTP, SMTP and so on..).

I understand that it is tempting to blame Microsoft for \r\n proliferation, but it does not seem to be the case - the \r\n is comes from the era of teletypes and physical VT terminals. You can still see the original "NL" in action (move down only, do not go back to start of line) on any Unix system by typing "(stty raw; ls)" in a throw-away terminal.
Craigslist remains popular but Facebook Marketplace seems to have supplanted a large part of it. It’s the most obvious example that I think of.

Yeah, LispM system software is orders of magnitude larger than that, but, for example, David Betz's XLISP for CP/M is 2800 lines of C, and it doesn't include any of those facilities except for an interpreter. Now, the interpreter does have some things F83 doesn't: a fully dynamic object system which supports adding new methods at runtime, named stack-allocated variables, dynamic typing, a string type, a file-pointer type with character I/O, Lisp lists, S-expression reading and printing, and a garbage collector. But it doesn't have an assembler, a memory dumper, a bytecode interpreter, a debugger of any kind, an editor of any kind, any kind of version control, any kind of multitasking, or virtual memory. For many of these, adding them in Lisp is a lot more difficult than adding them in Forth.

Probably the most influential use of XLISP is as AutoCAD's built-in scripting language, AutoLISP, but it's also the basis of Nyquist.

The top developer is the one who committed five PRs that changed Godot to Redot, but they had fewer than ten PRs the last time I checked.
Yet, there are tons of people much richer than Musk was (before Tesla and SpaceX) who have achieved nothing of note with their billions.

If I understand both the code and o11c's comment correctly, it sounds like the difference is less rendering artifact rather than what is being rendered. This code is rendering the asteroids based off their semi-major axis, but Wikipedia appears to be rendering their actual positions at a specific moment in time with the asteroids all at various points in their eccentric orbit.
Wouldn't the safest thing, security-wise, to fail fast on bare 0ah?

As a web server, you may not know which intermediate proxies did the request traverse before arriving to your port. Given that request smuggling is a thing, failing fast with no further parsing on any protocol deviations seems to be the most secure thing.

I don't think the current systems we have are on the path to AGI, whatever that is. So it's hard to say it will be here soon. And when it does come I don't think it will transform society overnight. It will probably take many decades.
Yes, it was very nice to see it was the first citation in the paper (and cited several times throughout).

The World Models paper is still one of the most amazing papers I've ever read. And I just really keep wanting to show that, in case people really don't see that, many in-the-know... knew.
Can you explain why? I don't understand why this is so important

SO lost it's appeal, can't say exactly why, but it often has outdated content. I cannot say I get the correct answer there right away.

Each platform fills different role, GitHub is project specific and access to maintainers, who do not monitor SO. Discord is chat, with maintainers and community. SO misses the connection to the people building and using the software, it's more like the Quora of software nowadays. That Discord and GitHub have terrible search is not detracting from their other benefits

> Do we know the velocity of all those components without out a reference point

Technically, no. “According to the principle of special relativity, all physical laws look the same in all inertial reference frames, and no inertial frame is privileged over another” [1]. The relevant reference points are usually the object being measured and the observer.

Practically, astronomers have a variety of large-scale rest frames spanning galaxies and even super clusters, none of which are relevant to the experiment this article is about.

Someone gave me an analogy some time ago that made a lot of sense.

If you shine a flashlight through a tree blowing in the wind and vary the brightness to convey information, the signal can get distorted pretty easily.

However, if you have a constant brightness source and vary the color, it’s a lot easier to figure out what the source is trying to convey.
So you're in the "slow timelines, slow takeoff" camp. By "current systems" do you mean LLM's based on transformers? What about them do you believe would make a sub-decade path to AGI infeasible?

I am pretty sure it is the opposite :)
Well, you can achieve the desired behavior in all situations by ignoring CR and treating any seen LF as NL.

I just don’t see why you’d not want to do that as the implementer. If there’s some way to exploit that behavior I can’t see it.

What is your argument? That losing weight does not result in muscle volume loss? That GLP-1s are somehow special and only losing weight via them causes muscle loss?

IFBB bodybuilders getting weekly DEXA scans and running multiple steroids including cycles specifically designed to help prevent muscle loss during cuts still lose muscle mass when losing weight for shows, despite taking every drug under the sun, working out an obscene amount, eating huge amounts of protein.

Your body will break down muscle when losing weight. You can do a lot to prevent the vast majority of it, but there is going to be some no matter what you do.
What's wrong with that? Were any explicit claims made that the bots were fully controlled by AI?
That's not even a true claim, because there are two separate plugins, one is WPE's and one is Automattic's. WPE doesn't force you to use theirs, it's a total lie.

Yes, because the "charge forward and worry about the consequences later" mantra has proven so historically successful over the past 100 years when it comes to environmental stewardship. CFC's, HFC's, PFAS, leaded fuel, and abundant plastic waste are proof we definitely know what we're doing when it comes to ensuring we don't pollute our planet or ourselves, right? The science on this remains novel precisely because the idea of launching hundreds of rockets a day was inconceivable even 10 years ago.

You want more specifics, I take it?

I think the amount of polymorphic code Haskell enables means that single-letter variables are more common than in other languages (where they're usually confined to narrow scopes), and there's a lot less to say about them. Another HN commenter on this post mentioned IEnumerable<T>, which is very similar: you know nothing about T, but you need to call it _something_, and there's a common understanding in the community that you call such type variables <T>.

Haskell's typeclasses then mean you've got a lot of different concepts that could show up in a type signature, but they're still polymorphic and there's not much you _can_ say beyond "this is Foldable", or "this is a Monad". So an even broader convention has emerged.
Obviously we now know what OpenAI is really running on.

Reminds me of the rat park experiment on drug addiction. Put the rats in small cages and give them morphine, they get addicted. Put them in the rat park where they have lots of things to do and they don’t get addicted. Food overindulgence is probably result of similar effects too.

This longer life experiment probably has issues too. Like the rats might be getting fed some crappy food in a cage where they can’t do anything and so just sit there and get fat. As opposed to getting not enough food and go into some kind of hibernation stage where they don’t do anything and just sit there and not get fat. What a life for either of these rats. What a life for a human to emulate.

Musk is frequently wrong with his timelines. That’s not a surprise to anyone. Even he has joked about his often unrealistic optimism with timeframes on multiple occasions.

But I mean, most of us here are probably the same. Most CEOs I’ve worked with are quite poor at time estimates too. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a single human who is good at it.

The problem is often unknown unknowns that you had no way to predict. I once had a project delayed by months due to a rare bug in the .NET CLR that just took a really long time to track down. I don’t know much about rocket science, but operating at the edge of known science and technology presumably has some difficult periods...

If that's the case, what is the issue with the Engineering and Manufacturing teams of Boeing, Blue Origin, Arianne, etc, etc? The role of a leader is to end deadlocks. All these companies have plenty of talented people, and they often have huge egos, personal agendas, various constraints, some lack resources, some squander them, etc. A leader understands where the problems are and decides. The "buck stops with him". He doesn't do the work himself, but being able to say "you are right, and you are not" is hugely consequential. By comparison, Jeff Bezos seems totally incompetent to lead a space company. Why? Not because he cannot be a good leader, he obviously can. But because he did not put enough personal energy to understand in details what the problems (technical and otherwise) at Blue Origin are, so he can eliminate the deadlocks that make that company unproductive.
Ask HN: Using AI to identify natural flow of a video interview
Hello HN,

I am a somewhat of a noob when it comes to video editing — but I am masterful at software development, and would like find (or create) a technology that allows one to figure out during a video interview which scenes were edited to placed later in a video.

For example, during an interview — like the one that vice president Harris had with CBS recently — it should be possible to use the gloss degradation on the lips, or anything that is directional with time to trace back and identify how much time passed between scenes. Below are examples of things that are directional with time:

1. Lip gloss wearing out
2. Anything dependent on gravity
3. Individual hair strands becoming more chaotic
4. If shot in a place with a bit of natural light, the slight contrast shifts minute by minute
5. The level of water on a cup
6. The strain on the eye
7. Folds in the clothes that add up over time

I am curious if therea are any tools (or if any tools can be built) to help with this issue, not only for the interview, but at the grander scheme of things — this is a big issue in video editing and video analysis.

Any points or guidance in the right dirction would be appreciated.
Matt has actually complained on the official WordPress Twitter account that the WPE CEO hasn't commented on it. It's really bizarre. Honestly, he doesn't sound well. There's no way he can be this reckless and be in his right mind. He's worth a ton of money, so I don't know if anyone can actually get him under control or get him out.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying with a caveat; I do not think that the concept of technology requires human progenitors.

so with that said, and the addition of 'simulation theory' or some other such never-knowable.. well , maybe it is all technology, we'd just never know.

I think I prefer the grand splendor of natural phenomena, myself. Even as just a think-er it's just a more interesting premise to me.
How would that make any difference to what is being discussed?
none of this is as clear as anyone wants it to be. if standards _could_ be completely formally described, it would be an entirely different world. I did quite a bit of work implementing draft standards in the IETF, and and the end of the day the standard is the best we can make it, but for non-trivial things good luck actually implementing it without something to test against or a reference implementation.

thats the context in which Postel's law make absolute sense. not that you should forgo any sanity checking, or attempt to interpret garbage or make up frame boundaries. but when there is a potential ambiguity, and you can safely tolerate it, then its really helpful for you to do so.
That could work without upward funargs because, in your version, (make-adder 3) and (make-adder 7) aren't live at the same time, so they might be using the same "x" instead of two separate "x" bindings. My hunch is that that "x" is in memory space that would be overwritten if you called another largish function in between calling make-adder and invoking its return value, but I haven't grokked comp/lisp fully enough to be sure that that's true.
This is 100% nonsense. Phase noise exists too, not just amplitude noise.

The answer is actually rather simple. AM stations are limited to 10KHz band width. FM gets 200KHz. More bandwidth allows representing a higher fidelity signal…
Looks great! When will order functionality be available? Will Stripe be used to process the credit cards? Did you build it all by yourself?
No need to read the article. It’s literally in the name.

AM = Amplitude Modulation
FM = Frequency Modulation

Obviously environmental factors can affect the amplitude of a radio signal. But environmental factors are less likely to affect the frequency.

Ask HN: Kernel Containers (security like VMs, perf like LXC)
Frustrated by our own performance challenges with Kata Containers, we have developed a new hypervisor from scratch that can run each Docker container in isolation (i.e., no shared host kernel), and with native performance (i.e., no virtualization runtime overhead or cold starts).

We have been using it internally with K8s for a while now. What's would be the best way to commercialize this technology? We are thinking of licensing it and seeking design partners.
