Amazon Joins Big Tech's Foray into Nuclear Power
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

To clarify some things that maybe are unclear:

First, occupation is not the same as colonization. Second, I was speaking of Gaza specifically when I talked about there being more vs. less occupation - not all of Israel.

> Obviously, there are many in Palestine who would agree to a deal that granted them statehood and meant less occupation than before even if it didn't mean the full return of the land.

So I don't understand what you're advocating. You said that a two state solution (which Palestinians so far have never agreed to) is just a continuation of colonization.

What solution do you think is a) the right one and b) the practical one? I don't understand how my advocating of what probably 95% of peace activists are advocating is wrong.

yes, but what I meant was that the much earlier issues were very good, with not just good pictures, but lots of interesting textual info as well, about the different geographical topics that they covered, e.g. countries, regions within countries, rivers, forests, peoples, etc.

I remember one particular issue about USA rivers which was really good, with great photos.

damn cool article.

the suwannee river was one that was covered.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suwannee_River

I looked up that river in Wikipedia for the first time today.

TIL it is a blackwater river. first time I heard the term.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_river

the NG issues used to come with very good maps as supplements, too, in color.

also there used to be nice color ads about good cameras, IIRC, like canon, minolta, etc, and cars like the cadillac, lincoln, etc.

gas guzzlers, of course.

The developers of stockfish and lc0 (and the many weaker engines around) would disagree, we've seen their strength improve considerably over the last few years.

Currently there's a very interesting war between small neural networks on the CPU with high search depth alpha-beta pruning (stockfish NNUE) and big neural networks on a GPU with Monte Carlo search and lower depth (lc0).

So, while machines beating humans is "solved", chess is very far from solved (just ask the guys who have actually solved chess endgames with 8 or less pieces).
Rather than correcting this poster on HN you may want to email the relevant people at Fidelity with your thoughts, as the actual owners of Twitter have marked down the _value_ by 72%
Still, give Kagi a chance. I don't work for them, I don't have friends who work for them, I'm just a guy who uses Kagi and will never look back. It isn't expensive and it's SO worth it.
We really have no way to know this. But I would be very surprised if modern chess engines didn't regularly blunder into losing (from the perspective of a hypothetical 32-piece tablebase) positions, and very very surprised if modern chess engines perfectly converted tablebase-winning positions.

This sort of thing happens for a bunch of reasons, most typically as a result of legal action. I myself have all of my email being held for discovery in an ongoing case that I personally have nothing to do with, it says nothing about wrongdoing of anyone involved.

If CEO came to me and said "we need to archive all email to or from this recipient", the only unusual part of that ask would be the person requesting it.
Network Density
He is absolutely destroying WordPress. I wasn't ever a fan but given that 40% of websites rely upon it, the end users are the ones who will suffer the most here.

If somebody doesn't fork WordPress soon, it will be decades before WordPress is purged from the web and in the meantime a lot of those remaining sites will devolve into bot-net members and malware hosts.

Because that's how Mullenwegs crusade is going to end: With the death of WordPress.
Thank you!! I pay for Office 365 to use desktop Word even though I'm a very basic user of it. I'm well aware that LibreOffice exists and serves most of my needs, and that Word Online and Google Docs could serve my needs. But they're all so horribly inferior to the classic Word interface that I choose to pay for it.

And as we all know, this is why the iPhone has been so successful despite bringing Android-like features years after they were launched.
A code test that takes a couple of days?! That's an awful lot of unpaid time for a single interview step, and that's even assuming it's not one of the many companies that underestimates how long the exercise will take. Open application pipelines have a low success rate, so anyone going through this process is likely going through many others as well. Most adults currently in a full time job don't have time for that much nonsense.
Please do spare a couple of days on it. I think noone would really believe it until seeing it :)

anyway, the point was about the obsolesence or other of the ISA. It was about the claim that various versions of apple silicon are no good for performance, only for perf-per-watt or some related variance.
So cool! I've noticed that cursor.ai does this in a very subtle way. I'd like to see this pattern more often in other LLM apps.

What prompted you to build this?
compared to humans yes, but between themselves in TCEC progress continues. TCEC has AIs play both sides of random openings, rather than stick to playing chess's initial position. The same happens for checkers amongst humans, where opening positions are randomized
I cannot possibly even imagine how this could be the case, considering just how deadly and miserable obesity is. I don't see how we can hypothetically "solve" obesity and then go back to an obese population because the drug makes you nauseous or something. And that's not even considering the, what I can only assume to be, trillions of dollars of healthcare cost savings over time.

That's right, a lot of international founders participate in the batch as business visitors, whether under ESTA or a B-1 visa. The most common post-batch work authorization options are the country-specific visas (for those from Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Singapore), the O-1, and the E-2. If based abroad and only coming to the U.S. for investor meetings and the like, then you could continue as a business visitor but practically this can become a problem if traveling to the U.S. regularly; at some point CBP will push back.
Thank you for the hard work.

Okay, this would not work for Reddit, where many of the AI-generated images come from, or any other site that allows user-generated content (unless the site is strictly AI-related).
- What is it?
- What does it do?
- Why does it do that?

This could all easily fit in the top-level comments of a main() function or the help text of a CLI app.

- What is the API?

This could be gleaned from the code, either by reading it or by generating automatic documentation from it.

- What does it return?

This is commonly documented in function code.

- What are some examples of proper, real world usage (that don't involve foo/bar but instead, real world inputs/outputs I'd likely see)?

This is typically in comments or help text if it's a CLI app.
not only blunder into losing positions, but also blunder from winning positions into draws

even in human chess people sometimes mistaken draw frequency to reflect both sides playing optimally, but there are many games where a winning advantage slips away into a draw
Thanks, replied in the thread.
Wild how hyperscalers have such great success with arm. But it's Ampere & literally no one else (Apple within their fief) whose made even a somewhat viable pass at medium/large size computing.

Arm, the architecture that forever remains inaccessible. It's been well over a decade since AMD announced project Seattle, an ARM chip, which took many years to eventually make the A1100 Opteron which was still basically u purchaseable & slow. ARM is just endless quagmires & failures. I don't know what it is with this microarchitecture being so ubiquitous yet so failing to come to market again and again and again.
Ozempic doesn't cause that, losing weight via diet does. Weight Watchers moms get the same thing.

The only people who don't are people who lose weight through resistance training. Which is a small minority - because we have a HUGE diet culture!
The last time I was in a bar in California (which, admittedly, was quite a while ago) they didn't even enforce the no smoking law because a police officer had to see you actually taking a puff or some such nonsense. Sitting at a bar with a lit cigarette in the ashtray in front of you wasn't enough probable cause apparently. Maybe things have changed in the last 20 years, dunno?

Plus, you have always been allowed to smoke in tobacco shops, modulo some restrictions, which is directly relevant to TFA.
E3 is absolutely the best way for Australians in my experience. It's more flexible than a H1B and the process is much simpler. The only downside is there is no simple path to a green card like H1B, but I managed to get one anyway.

You'd need a US entity to apply on your behalf. In my case they never asked about assets to pay the salary but that may be an issue.

Yes, you're right. The dots thing isn't as powerful as the + separator. But it is useful for sites that have a poor understanding (or regex) associated to their address validator. In context of the parent comment, that's the point, that the dots aren't restricted as the plus separator can be.

Thank you for sharing this! While AI excels at providing general advice, it often falls short on delivering contextual insights specific to your code. I’m thrilled to see that ast-grep can be effectively used alongside AI to add more value for developers. Great job!
There's a theory that life actually originated not directly through photosynthesis based life, but originally from a very constant source of energy - the earth's crust - Hyperthermophile archaea - using non-oxygen based metabolism which migrated to the surface where photosynthesis evolved and took over as the core energy source.

Something that amazes me about The Shroud of Turin is that if it was created in the 14th century, how did they create a photographic negative 400 years before the first known photographic negative was created in 1826 by Nicephore Niepce. It’s the most studied artifact in history and still no one knows how The Shroud was created.

> when I'm alone there's no sources of motivation.

I've found this to be most true for myself when I'm pouring a lot into work and don't have much time to recover.

I've started reading a lot of books for pleasure in the past 1-2 years, which I also used to do a lot when I was a kid. But after I finished college (which took a long time for me— my undergraduate 'career' was a sometimes rocky eight years or so), I didn't read for pleasure at all for years and years.

If your hobbies overlap in some way with your career, or you're coming home very tired, I wouldn't be surprised if that's a factor.

You might have some success incorporating gentle social pressure into your hobbies as well. Most of my side projects right now are essentually book clubs or study groups with close friends. We're all busy and tired. 'Deadlines' slip, meetings are cancelled. But we want to stay connected to each other, and that provides a positive through-line that keeps us showing up and doing our best, whatever that may be.

It's still a form of social pressure, and I won't lie to you and say it never involves feelings of guilt for me. But it feels different from the work pressure. Its rootedness in sharing thoughts and experiences with people I love makes it feel more like something that emerges primarily from a positive desire, even if my commitment to it generates secondary feelings of obligation.

> SSRIs make me even more lazy, which results in anxiety about not doing anything and failing responsibilities.

I understand. Even genuinely useful medications often help with one aspect of a condition (usually one that inhibits participation in society or the economy— an aspect whose costs are substantially external) and actively exacerbate others (typically aspects whose costs are primarily internal to us).

I'm afraid I don't have any advice for dealing with such tradeoffs. I have struggled and do struggle with that kind of thing myself. :-\
Good job. Problem with a game like this is that it's too deterministic, you use the exact amount of impulse to aim the disc at the exact same spot every time. If you have decent handeye coordination it swiftly becomes rather trivial.

The real game is less deterministic purely by having to contend with messy real world physics. If you want to make the game a little more engaging, I'd recommend trying to figure out a way to mix up where you have to fire the shots from, etc, add blockers to get in the way to shuffle the timing, etc.
Well, I agree, the current government of Israel is awful, as is Hamas.

But I'm still not sure what you think Israel should've and could've done differently specifically on the point of Hamas.

In your scenario, if the governor of Texas had decided not to make space for the cult, and had instead rooted them out, I don't think anyone would've been upset. But do you honestly think that if, after Hamas won the elections in Gaza and kicked out the PA, that Israel had decided to invade Gaza and fought with Hamas - without direct provocation - do you think in that scenario people wouldn't be just as upset at Israel?

I say this as a Netanyahu-hating leftist "peace-advocate" (mostly). I think most of us would've been upset at the "war-mongering" Netanyahu in that situation. That's why I hard on this - it's a self-criticism as much as it is a criticsm of others. The truth is, pre-emptive war might've been the correct move against Hezbollah and against Hamas, but I honestly don't think anyone would've been ok with Israel doing it. Do you think otherwise?

I said:

> The rule is „this credit is for you to buy food as a meal“.

You said:

> That's not what the rule is. The rule is you get X amount of money, maximally, to spend on a meal.

What’s the difference?

You would be stupid to go to a cheap place, so you are free to spend your credit on whatever food you want, as long as it’s your meal. If you don’t finish, you can take the rest, but even going somewhere and ordering stuff just to take home without eating anything is already technically not allowed.
I don’t know if you seriously don’t understand the rule or if you’re just trying to argue.

Imagine if someone invited you to dinner and you order 10 plates and tell the waiter that you want to take the excess home. Is that fine because you were invited, so you can order whatever you want? You can’t tell me that you think ordering wine glasses and laundry detergent from your food credit is fine.
I don't know about anyone else in this thread, but if I was offered a 9 months severance, I'd have to really, really LOVE my job to not take it.

More likely than not I'd find a job before 9 months.

I'd probably make screenshots and videos of the offer and me resigning just to make sure I get my $$.
Where did the word 'obligation' appear from?

Well charitably I would suspect that for the first question, he probably didn't want to rock the open source community too much. Look at the trouble the rust foundation got into for trademark enforcement, and it hasn't really been a decade. In general, there's no good time to start flexing on your trademark.

For your second question, Matt claims that it's partly because WP engine disabled core features of WordPress. I can imagine a world where you are inundated with complaints that your software doesn't do X basic thing (because the top provider has disabled it) but ITS BEEN THERE THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME TIME STOP COMPLAINING (put a smile on and explain calmly). You get my point. And then you snap.

No idea if that's what is in his mind but I have some sympathy for Matt. In principle. (This is me steelmanning Matt)
I'm a bit miffed that Zoom "outs" you as someone with a webcam. If you have a camera, it shows up as such in the participants list. All of my desktop webcams are virtual, but Zoom couldn't know that. It gives this false notion that I'm rudely keeping my cam off, when really I'm just preventing people from seeing a static OBS virtual camera screen.

On the flip side, if you want to be sneaky, you could probably remove/disable all of your cameras in software, which then telegraphs to everyone that you don't have a camera at all, even if you do.
I cringe whenever I hear people praise Scandinavian schools: if we raise taxes and get rid of private schools, (to copy what they did in Norway) our public schools will be just as good. Copying Hermione Granger's homework does not make you Hermione Granger.

One amusing thing I noticed was the lack of stuff in the classrooms. At my kid's class there needs to be room for bags, books, television, a PC for testing, headphones, Chromebooks etc. no way all that would fit in these new-age spaces.

The end of your comment was a shameful personal attack* and disgustingly anti-semitic**, made worse (if possible) by internet insults. If you pull a trick like that on HN again, we will ban you.

I don't see how it's in your interest to discredit your own argument with gutter-level slurs, but if that's what you want to do, please do it elsewhere. I wonder how the many Jewish people arguing for the same position that you are, some of whom even have "jewish names", feel about posts like yours.

Not sure if you care at this point, given that you stopped working on project, but there's a better way to find the ray direction for each column than using sin/cos for every one, which will also get rid of the slightly warped look:

Calculate the two vectors from the camera at the very left and right of the screen (using your fov angles and sin/cos, that's fine). Then, to find the ray direction vectors for each column, interpolate linearly between your left and right direction vectors, and possibly normalize the resulting vectors if your ray walking algorithm requires it.

This will create a perspective that integrates tightly with sprites that you 3D project the usual way, and lines will stay straight lines.
That's entirely false.

Elon is 'successful' when he marshals resources to opening up new wealth markets (e.g., space, electric vehicles), but leaves those resources alone enough to actually get the job done.

SpaceX is full of brilliant minds well attuned to their domain enough that Elon can't really interfere with technical operations. What he often does, is what most other CEOs don't, is entertains more ambitious and risky ideas, and he knows just enough to make worthwhile bets. On the other side of the spectrum is Twitter, where he knows just enough to interfere with everything. Tesla sits in the middle.
i've come to appreciate, over the past 2 years of heavy Prolog use, that all coding should be (eventually) be done in Prolog.

It's one of few languages that is simultaneously a standalone logical formalism, and a standalone representation of computation. (With caveats and exceptions, I know). So a Prolog program can stand in as a document of all facts, rules and relations that a person/organization understands/declares to be true. Even if AI writes code for us, we should expect to have it presented and manipulated as a logical formalism.

Now if someone cares to argue that some other language/compiler is better at generating more performant code on certain architectures, then that person can declare their arguments in a logical formalism (Prolog) and we can use Prolog to translate between language representations, compile, optimize, etc.
