This part really resonated with me:

> Someone rejected you for not wanting kids? Imagine five years from now when they’ve worn you down and you have to wake up six times a night to feed a child you never wanted.

Someone rejected me for his _perception_ that I do not want kids. In reality, this could have been a 15-minute conversation in which we'd find out we were on the same page. But the fact that he was unwilling to bring up that concern and instead worried about it in silence, culminating in a middle-of-the-night decision to end things, is in itself evidence that he was not an appropriate person to have kids with in the first place.

It still is really sad and unfortunate to "lose" something over what feels like a miscommunication, but ultimately a favor - because with the right person, the miscommunication would have been resolved.

I wonder if fishing boats need to have a 60 day consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service before each fishing expedition.

It seems to me that fishing expeditions pose a significant threat to the welfare of fish.
Have you seen my text editor, KeenWrite?

https://keenwrite.com/

Has a similar feature set to MarkText (tables, diagrams, math, code blocks), with the addition of: typesets to PDF, automatically curls straight quotes, can use inline R statements, offers interpolated variables, has distraction-free ability, document statistics, and you can position/resize/rearrange its tabbed panels to your liking. There's also a command-line interface for use with scripting.
But falcon 9 is using a time tested approach and has safety systems. The starship has no backup if for some reason the engines fail to start…?

(For the passenger angle)

I don’t think the limiter to mars is cost to orbit:
- Having a vessel where people can live for a couple of years
- finding someone willing to take the (most likely) one-way ticket to mars
- all the challenges of having a mars habitat. Radiation, dust, etc

Reducing the cost: sure, starship has only been launched with no payload so far so the numbers are yet to be determined… and it’s only impressive (theoretical) numbers are to LEO.

> This is just the brute force solution.

It's the trivial solution. It's significantly more efficient than using backprop. It's much simpler and leads to practically the same result.

This makes me wonder why you would use backprop to do this. It feels like a waste of time, and I'm not sure why this post generates so much attention on HN.

It's iterative so you don't have to run for a very long time, and it will keep improving the loss function for longer.

That became a thing because he felt like they didn't contribute to WordPress. Like, that's the entire reason behind that (very weird imo) request for a royalty.

I'm not sure if it's true, but there were talks about WPEngine devs basically not being allocated any dev time on WordPress anymore (whereas Automattic devs spend tens of hours a week on the actual OSS project). That was one of the catalyst behind the whole drama where Matt called them out basically on stage during a conference talk. Which was just before (or at the same time) as he started talking about the royalty.

Now, again Matt's behavior has been super weird since he basically failed at articulating his position well, and his PR has been catastrophic.

But the fact is WPEngine still does not contribue to WordPress. That is their right, but everything matt has been doing is also "legal" and within his (and his company's) rights.

I can confirm that Dbahn service was not so great from the start, and became noticeably worse after COVID.

I live in Rostock. 2 weeks ago I landed in Hamburg at 2:30pm and tried to return home by train. Distance is 185 km, and I arrived home at 10:00pm

Reasons: works on the line that forced us to go to Lubeck first, then take two more regional trains to reach Rostock. On top of that, one train from Lubeck to the next stop was so full that a hundred passenger could not get in (me included).

The next train was canceled.

Finally we got a (packed) train at around 8pm.

All "fine" except that this is the third time in the last 12 months that the same line undergoes maintenance forcing you to move to Lubeck first and adding 1 hour to your trip.

Rostock-Berlin: similar story. For three times in the last year there were some problems between Oranienburg and Berlin, forcing you to either travel around it with a 1 hour detour or to disembark in Oraniemburg and move to S-Bahn (sort like BART).

In other words: railways are overstressed and failing repeatedly causing massive delays; Oraniemburg is 40km from Berlin Central Station. I find it unconceivable that you have to repair the same short segment thrice in 12 months.

In Bulgarian there is "double inferential" mood, used to relate reported speech about the speaker.

Usually used when the speaker got drunk and has no memory of the thing they did. a.k.a. "past forgotten" tense. The double inferential also reflects the fact that the witness account maybe inaccurate/exaggerated either because the witness(es) were themselves drunk or because they knew the speaker cannot dispute their account.

The most extreme form is when the speaker doesn't even remember getting drunk ("Бил съм се бил напил.) and/or getting in a fight ("Бил съм се бил бил.").

The extra pun comes from "fought" and "was" being spelled and pronounced the same.

It also rhymes.
And Automattic's control over WordPress is part of their "marketing" budget. Let's not forget how valuable the exclusive commercial license for the WordPress trademark is to Automattic, their ability to use the WordPress.com domain has huge commercial value to them. I have no doubt that WP Engine would pay tens of millions of dollars per year for the exclusive commercial license to the WordPress trademark which is tens of millions that could be funnelled to the WordPress Foundation, which is tens of millions more than Automattic spend. Ask yourself how Matt justifies Automattic spending millions of dollars per year on hosting WordPress.org and millions of dollars on the 100+ staff Automattic have working on WordPress.org.

We can't pick and choose which contributions are valid and which aren't. WP Engine spend money on the development of WPGraphQL a free plugin, WP Engine spend money on the development of Advanced Custom Fields which they release for free for millions of WordPress sites to use... of course they're not doing that out of some altruistic moral crusade, of course it's a clear calculus about the benefit to their bottom line, but that doesn't change that they're contributing.

The "Five for the Future" contributions are specifically about contributing to WordPress Core, which is owned and controlled by Matt Mullenweg: you're playing into Matt's absurd narrative that the only valid contribution is one that is made to something under Matt's control.

I think WP Engine are Private Equity leeches, I have zero doubt about that, I wish that they were to contribute more but that's the deal with Open Source software, that's what we choose to allow by releasing Open Source software. The moral obligation we have when we use Open Source software is to respect the license, Matt had the choice about the license to release WordPress under, he made the choice for it to be GPL.

“Gözümün önünde ölmüş” (“o” is implied) but in that case it means a later realization of the death because the you missed that when he was dying.

That might happen, for example, when you’re in a train, and you think the person in front of you is sleeping. At some point you realize that he’s dead and then you might form a sentence like that.

If you had witnessed the person dying when he was dying, not as an after the fact realization, then you’d say “gözümün önünde öldü”. Because you knew he was dying when it was happening.

> This effectively means that if I were to bundle ffmpeg and ffprobe executables within my app, I would have to make the app open-source as well and provide it under the same license.

This is a misunderstanding of the LGPL license requirements, as they are usually interpreted. LGPL requires that if your application dynamically links to a modified version of the library, then you must make the source code _for the modified version of the library_ open source.

The original use case for the LGPL license was the C runtime, which practically every binary on a system will link to, proprietary or otherwise. The idea is that the binary can be closed source, but any modifications made to the C runtime itself must be distributed. The idea is that an end user could take your modified version of the C library and further customize it to their needs.

In the context of bundled ffmpeg and ffprobe executables, the user could replace them with their own versions. You should make clear which version of the source was used to build them and if you have made any modifications, those must be open source.
Apologies, I did overreact.

AFAIK it only worked with optical drives, not pendrives. I've spent hours trying to get this functionality on my pendrives back in the day, to no avail (thankfully!). It was on Windows XP, and Windows 98 needed external drivers to even use pendrives at all, so if such an attack vector existed, it must have been on Windows 2000 or Me (i.e between XP and 98), so an arguably very short time frame (if at all!).

> There was a funny guide circulating a few years ago about "Euro-English" used in the European Union and it's institutions, that was completely incomprehensible to a native speaker.

A lot of it is just (1) use of French loanwords to refer to EU-specific concepts (acquis is arguably the most famous), (2) use of genuine but rare English words – for example "subsidiarity", a word few English-speakers know, but the EU loves – but it isn't exclusive to the EU, Catholic theologians love it too (there is a whole section devoted to it in the Catholic Catechism), (3) the kind of common linguistic errors (false cognates, etc) which French speakers (and to a lesser degree, speakers of other EU languages) make when speaking English.

There are also some cases where it is hard to say if what is happening is (1) or (3), for example the use of the word "cabinet" (pronounced the French way) to refer to the office staff of a senior official

It is totally understandable to be engrossed in a project, but it is unhealthy when the project is taking up all of your time and your emotional energy. You need to save some of that for yourself and your loved ones.

Has your family expressed concern about this? You might want to set aside some of what you are using to create this endeavor and use it instead to make sure that you are not harming anyone you love. If it is between the project and those closest to you, then I think you know what is more important.
I've been using evolutionary techniques with Pareto front optimization to deal with this tradeoff. If two (or more) objectives are in direct conflict, but otherwise don't dominate one another, we simply take them all. Then, the problem becomes one of making sure you have enough resources to maintain the frontier across the generations. If you do have to collapse the frontier, you can use things like crowding score to maintain diversity.

Example use case - minimizing total neuron activations in a spiking neural simulation while simultaneously maximizing activation coverage and output correctness scores. You don't necessarily know if the cheaper to simulate, but less correct, candidate represents a better evolutionary path until you go down it a few steps.

This also gives you an idea of what your horizon looks like on the fitness landscape. If your Pareto front is small, you are typically deep into exploitation. A simple forward path. If it is large, you are putting more resources into exploration, but you aren't giving up exploitation - it just takes longer to get through the jungle bits. This can be used as a heuristic to inform restarting or other strategic corrective measures in the evolutionary algorithm. If we are stuck in jungle for too long, we might decide to abandon the run and pick new hyperparameters.
That's true, but I wonder why these late-stage investors are investing at these valuations with complete disregard for capital efficiency.

Because WordPress is licensed under the GPL, all plugins must be licensed under GPL-compatible licenses. This applies to ACF Pro as well.

> I don’t know whether this is just due to first-mover advantage or not but it also looks like more projects use spaces over tabs. So what’s the point of going against the tide where there does not seem to be a very powerful advantage anyway?

Sure, now. But, there was a time when I was a young man in college (circa 1997) where professors and the industry would push Tabs as a standard. Shortly after, the tides changed and we were all using spaces.

> Stop hard-wrapping and just use soft-wrapping

Who cares about grep? I mean, aside from the OP and probably many on here. Wrapping is a task that should be left up to the viewing device/software. It can be made to be responsive, which hard-wrapping cannot be.

This really should be a solved issue by now. Both as users and by software.
I believe that our minds are much like Large Language Models. Our brains put together and combine and mix up sentences that on average have some benefit to us. We speculate to explore possible outcomes. We practice saying sentences within our heads and then explore their possible consequencees.

It is a random (but not totally random of course) process where one thought gives rise to new ones. I think that depression means being in an indirect loop of negative thoughts which amplify each other. Phychedelics might be a way to break out of such loops. But, I'm just speculating here of course.
If you have had any close family or friends go through a similar event, it becomes incredibly obvious to you from that point on whenever you see it. The signs are broadly invisible to most people when strangers are exhibiting them, but once you deal with it up close, they are impossible to ignore.

You are right that it's been on the roadmap for a while, however, it's definitely very high on their priority list.

Society is not a business.

Markets are a useful tool that societies use to optimize certain kinds of capital allocation and goods production, where that makes sense. No more no less.

> High stakes doing what?

Like most grifters: AI
When I read the article, this exact question came out as borne out of genuine curiosity justifying the need for measuring and comparing stuff, not a rhetorical question aiming to dismiss the thing.

And indeed, down the road, the article says:

> “There’s a lot going on between when the heart beats and when the blood gets all the way to the arm or wrist, what’s called pulse arrival time,” Tenan explained. “By simulating that and knowing what’s happening at the heart, we determined what’s being measured with the consumer wearable is different. It’s not to say the consumer wearable is bad or not useful, it’s just not the same.”

As in, electric signal ECG/EKG at chest level and blood flow PPG at finger/wrist level factually are not the same measurement, and asking "do they somehow relate in any way?"

Then the question is about the difference between RMSSD and SDNN/SDRR, and here this article (2022) explains it well:

https://tryterra.co/blog/measuring-hrv-sdnn-and-rmssd-3a9b96...

And answers TFA's question:

> “I don’t fundamentally see any reason why any of the wearable companies should be using the RMSSD measure

with:

> RMSSD is considered the best measure for short-term variations of HRV, but still a robust measure for longer-term analyses, with typical use cases for tracking stress, sickness, training, and recovery.

> SDNN is more useful for longer term cardiac health trends and analysis.
My childhood library changed from a place for books, to a place for homeless people to get internet.

I don't say that hatefully or anything, it's what happened. It was a tiny library chocked full of shelves. Then some were removed to add six or so computers. The last time I went in, over half of the shelves were gone and replaced with computers.

I don't mean to pearl clutch here, I fully support libraries and always will. I do not support a government subsidized internet cafe.
