We do know this, there are many positions (primarily sharp middle game one's) where SF/lc0 will significantly change their evaluation as they go deeper.
This problem gets better the more time they spend on one position but it's an inevitable consequence of the horizon effect and it's why (except for 8 pieces or less), chess is far from solved.

Short of getting a green card, your ability to work in the U.S. will depend on getting a work visa which is based on a job offer from a U.S. employer. For those not from a country with its own visa, the options are the H-1B visa (but this is subject to an annual lottery so not anything that can be relied on), the O-1 visa for people of extraordinary ability (a high standard and a visa that most large companies won't bet on unless the candidate clearly qualifies for an O-1), the E-2 (this would be for German owned companies or subsidiaries in the U.S.), or L-1 (which requires one year of employment outside the U.S. with a related entity - think one year of employment with IBM Berlin and then a quick and easy transfer to IBM U.S.). Of all these, the L-1 is probably the easiest if the global company is large and is willing to transfer employees to the U.S. - and you're willing to work abroad for at least one year.
This made me think of this recent tweet from Nate Berkopec, a developer well-known in the Rails community as a specialist in performance and scaling. https://x.com/nateberkopec/status/1846429195670552635

If you're starting a new Rails app and live in the EU, the optimal strategy is pretty clear:

Get a 64-thread box on Hetzner for 250 euro a month, allocate 20% of it to the DB, 40% to web, 40% to bg, then just forget about scaling until you're making money hand over fist.

At a certain point, self-hosting is so much cheaper than PaaS that you can way overprovision your server and not worry about it until you're making serious money.

As you've thoughtfully pointed out, that was seven years ago in 2017. The world's changed since then and I've changed with it. Flat Earth is totally not a real issue, but it's a way for me to bring up the fact that unless we're working together as sailors and you're the navigator and the position of the stars above your flat Earth is going to get us stranded, the amount of shared reality we need to have in order to actually work is surprisingly low. At the end of the day we have to coexist, and I realize that I can know that someone read Damore and shares his views and is not in HR, and I can agree to disagree with them and still do things - work, grab a beer, go on trips - with them because the alternative is this loneliness epidemic I keep reading about.
Randomizing to throw trackers off only works if you only ever visit sites once.

But yes, without javascript a lot of tracking functions fail to operate. That is good for privacy, and EFF notes that on the site.

You can fix your UA to a common value, it's about providing the least amount of identifying bits, and randomizing it just provides another bit to identify you by. Always remember: an absence of information is also valuable information!

Tirzepatide does not force you to lose weight, it makes it much easier to stick to your diet. Maybe too easy, since people who are not prepared to manage their diet may find themselves missing meals accidentally (lots of stories of people losing more than 2 pounds a week, which is very satisfying when it happens but not the healthiest way to drop weight).

Make sure you are getting sufficient calories and you won't lose any weight.

The caveat is that it slows digestion down and this effectively reduces your capacity to eat a lot of food. So maintaining a high calorie diet may require some changes to increase the energy density of your food.

From the little I know about SVG, I wish there was an open source alternative to Inkscape that didn't support standard SVG but used a proprietary format instead.

Almost everything you need to create vector art, SVG doesn't support.

Multiple outlines in a single shape? No. Varying thickness in an outline? No. Rounded corners on arbitrary vertices? No. Non-destructive boolean operations? No. I'm not even sure SVG supports paragraphs.

Many of these Inkscape implements as live filters, which are saved as SVG extensions in the XML .svg file that nobody but Inkscape can properly load.

SVG is ridiculously bad as a creation format. It's a good format to export to, but as a backend and it's just insane. It's like using a single PNG file as a backend for your multi-layer 128bpp raster project.

I use Inkscape a lot but I can't help but notice that the best vector art illustration come from Affinity Designer, Corel Draw, and Adobe Illustrator. If you compare the quality of artwork made with proprietary tools to those made with Inkscape, it's very clear that Inkscape severely limits what artists can achieve. You can easily create complex illustrations in other tools that would be a nightmare to manage in Inkscape. Just compare how you clip something in Inkscape to how you do it in Affinity. It's ridiculous how different the two workflows are.

A key part of the rationale for removing PGP uploads from PyPI was that you can't in fact know this, given the current state (and expected future) of key distribution in PGP.

(But also: yes, it's indeed important that the key can be verified i.e. considered authentic for an identity. Without that, you're in "secure phone call with the devil" territory.)

This.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about two and a half years ago. After doing some research, I put myself on a strict keto diet. Within about a month, my A1C went from over 13 to hovering around 6 and has stayed there. Never took any diabetes medication.

I do give myself a "vacation" from the diet about once a month, which I usually reserve for a special occasion.
Doga.
This is both uncontroversial and incredibly spicy. I love it.
A lot of newer urban public libraries look like the buildings in the pictures. If it works for them it can work for a school where we send our kids for a big part of their life. I think it's a good investment when building new ones, probably at a way higher priority than most things the gov wastes money on.
The best solution is just to apply for a J-2 visa at a U.S. Consulate rather than applying for J-2 change of status in the U.S. and then once you reenter the U.S. on your J-2 visa you can apply for a work card and travel while your work card application is pending without impacting this application.

Show HN: AI agents integrating tools at runtime
We’ve developed a protocol that allows AI agents to autonomously discover, integrate with, and pay for services in real time.

Today is a big step forward. This marks the beginning of a machine-friendly economy, where agents can interact and transact independently.
Is there any downside with introducing this demand to legislation? I feel that there's no problem with AI generated imagery being labelled as such, and on the other hand, we have a lot to gain by establishing a reliable signal that media was not generated by "AI". Users can always remove the metadata if they must exercise that freedom. But the vast majority of users won't so it would work in 99% of cases.
Please share your address. I would like some of your property.
I think the math is fine, but a perfectly rigid rod cannot exist in our universe, so there's no paradox, even though it would let you send messages faster than light.

In my opinion, there is a brief window for limited numbers of morally authoritative sources, Juan could imagine something.

While it's certainly interesting to read about this sort of thing - and I'm interesting in all the computer history - it's worth pointing out that some very large percentage of all computer systems, from every country and every era failed.

So it would be a mistake to read too much into this project being Japanese, or indeed criticize their goals and failures. Like all of their contemporaries they boldly went where no-one had gone before, and like the vast majority of their contemporaries (and most everyone since) discovered limitations in both the technology of the day, and their own abilities.

The important thing is not that they failed. The important thing is that they tried.

I also use Mullvad Browser (a browser based on Firefox), and it supports resisting fingerprinting without any of those blocks. Tried it on Drupal and Fedex. Loads Cloudflare sites normally.

I'm guessing if it's really Resist Fingerprinting on Firefox (something Mullvad also has on by default), then there are other settings that aren't being enabled causing the issue. Mullvad actually lists the settings related to resisting fingerprinting here - https://mullvad.net/en/browser/hard-facts
In California, yes. It's trickier to fire someone due to the labor laws. It's not as strict as EU, but typically requires performance reviews and advance notification.

Well, that's a woefully short-sighted and zero sum way of thinking.

"an impressive 44.8% of Fortune 500 companies in 2023, equating to 224 companies, were founded by immigrants or their children."

So, it is more accurate to say that the US is abusing and exploiting other countries by stealing their job-creators and thus, jobs.

I am not sure what you mean by "never used as is."

The Kelly criterion is an optimization of capital growth (its logarithm) method/guide. Not using it doesn't change its correctness.

But yes you need to know the advantage/the edge you have. Like with pricing methods eg for European options for Black Scholes you need to know the volatility and there is no way to know it, you estimate. This is where all the adjusting for bias and ML comes in.

That can happen, but is not universal. My resting heart rate has been dropping (probably in lock step with my weight), it has not risen one bit since I started taking tirzepatide. And my heart rate variability has been trending up, not down.

Why do you suspect it changes energy expenditure?

Obviously. But I was responding to "what is sinister about a GET request". To put it a slightly different way, it does not matter so much whether the request is a read or a write. For example DNS amplfication attacks work by asking a DNS server (read) for a much larger record than the request packet requires, and faking the request IP to match the victim. That's not even a connection the victim initiated, but that packet still travels along the network path. In fact, if it crashes a switch or something along the way, that's just as good from the point of view of the attacker, maybe even better as it will have more impact.

I am absolutely not a fan of all these "are you human?" checks at all, doubly so when ad-blockers trigger them. I think there are very legitimate reasons for wanting to access certain sites without being tracked - anything related to health is an example.

Maybe I should have made a more substantive comment, but I don't believe this is as simple a problem as reducing it to request types.

The side effects are wildly exaggerated due to the current social media discourse on the subject.

I am in a pretty close knit community of 100s of people on the subject and while the side effects should not be discounted, figuring out ways to properly take the medication more or less eliminates them completely for nearly everyone.

The current dosing and schedules of the drug (and all GLP-1s for that matter) are largely an effect of what was tested during trials and not what will end up being most effective a decade from now. The rest of it is patient compliance and liability from drug manufacturers.

The most obvious two things to point at are that the half life of Tirzepatide is 5 days while the prescriptions are for 7 day intervals for ease of use. The other would be the rather large jumps in dosing (2.5mg per step) available in injector pen forms and prescribed.

Some bleeding edge doctors are willing to take the risk to go outside dosing and schedule guidelines, but not many.

Even then, the side effects seem to be rather minor compared to obesity or T2D and few and are far between.

I also had similarly reactions to the topic before I started to really look into it and dig deeper. I firmly believe these medications will change society at a level only antibiotics have so far.
Density becomes an issue rapidly. It might be 500x slower with a few people using it, but that’ll rapidly get slower as it’s used.
> Which memory location?

The location of the device tree is given to the kernel in x0 by the boot loader. See https://docs.kernel.org/arch/arm64/booting.html.

This device tree has information about the RAM location and hardware on the device, so in theory this can work just as well as ACPI does.
> Garman said under the three-day policy, "we didn't really accomplish anything, like we didn't get to work together and learn from each other."

If you can't work effectively and learn from each other without physically sitting together, then it's indicative of poor communication and an unfriendly team. Remote work isn't a root cause of those things. though it might occasionally make them worse.

> "I don't know if you guys have tried to disagree via a Chime call," he said, referring to the company's internal messaging and calling function. "It's very hard."

Disagreeing isn't any more difficult over a video call. This is just waffling.

> "You can't internalize [leadership principles] by reading them on the website, you really have to experience them day-to-day," he said.

In my experience, talking about leadership principles (whether in person or remote) doesn't result in new hires learning to follow them. Culture is something you define through action, and your actions demonstrate the priorities and culture of the company implicitly.

If your coworkers don't follow the stated principles of the company culture, then it's NOT the company culture. A remote worker should learn the principles of company culture just fine... if they truly represent the culture of the company, rather than just being talking points.

Modern systems don't work in a half-duplex mode like this.

All laptop speaker/mic combos use AEC[1], where they can both playout and pickup at the same time. There is actually 2 layers of this in many systems, one provided by your device, and a 2nd layer provided in software by Zoom/Teams/Meet etc.

What can happen is that the meeting audio is a mixture of the top-N loudest participants. N+1 people talking will conflict badly.

> lots of stories of people losing more than 2 pounds a week, which is very satisfying when it happens but not the healthiest way to drop weight

Folks should follow medical advice and do what works for them, but be aware that these guidelines were established prior to the obesity epidemic. I’d be highly surprised if someone weighing 300lbs vs. the same person weighing 190lbs should be losing weight at the same rate per week.

I imagine these will be updated to be body weight (or fat) adjusted as time goes on, like some doctors are already doing.

You might be able to capture the phase information for very long IR wavelengths using something like Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuitry, but I doubt it would be practical. One issue would be that the data volume would be absurd, likely petabytes per second. Practical observations where this would be useful would require long integration times of many hours.
