This only just became viable thanks to o1-mini, which significantly improves the relevancy of both keyword selections and article titles. The service's usefulness depends on how accurately the model identifies the best keywords for your site, so this was a major breakthrough.

The biggest uncertainty, however, is how effective this type of AI-based SEO strategy will be.
Moss may have caused the late Ordovician mass extinction, trees, and flowering plants both likely caused huge ecological changes when they evolved and spread, but I don’t know if they caused the mass extinctions that are roughly correlated to their rise.
Maybe the fact it shows how these devices can spy might educate people on what IoT's are doing all day every day in their homes and around their kids. Would this be considered hactivism?

That's the best!
Other than the infamous K-T extinction, most (all?) other mass extinction events unfolded over millions of years. Humanity managed to wipe out most of large animals in, like what, 10,000 years?

It's like watching a two hour horror movie and, thirty seconds in, you exclaim "Oh come on nobody died yet! I'm sure this will be very boring."
Hopefully it's decent. This generation has been terrible for AMD and Intel. Both have been basically identical in performance to the previous gen.

If that's true from 7800X3D -> 9800X3D too it'll suck.

I’ll leave aside for the moment who accidentally brings a on through an airport security check. Heck I don’t even keep a mini-multitool in any bag I might casually bring on as carry-on, somewhat to my annoyance. But if you do happen to have an oops firearm in your carryon I’m not sure I care if it was a mistake or on purpose.

there is no air or medium for conductive transfer, it's purely radiative. The shuttle used it's very large doors as radiators, as far as I know. The point is that you need a lot more surface area , and that it needs to be unobstructed (since it's literally radiating out, no convention to transfer in cool air/water/medium)
I highly recommend to start by building a very simple website from scratch using HTML and CSS.

It's very common today for FE engineers to have a very limited understanding of the basics because they picked up client-side tech by following React tutorials (or any other highly abstracted framework).

It's a very incremental learning process, so expect your brain to take some time to learn to identify small details that make great UI/UX. It takes practice!

Once you feel comfortable building a simple page, explore various techniques to make it feel more professional (i.e. identify why your page doesn't look as good as some other references, and start copying their ideas).
> Flash is raster, SVG is vector.

That seems wrong. Having made Flash content in the early 2000's, the drawing tools in the software were all vector-based, and vector-based animation was everyone's go-to since frame-by-frame raster would have resulted in too large an SWF file for the Internet of the time. You could animate bitmap objects also, but they were usually used sparingly, and anyways SVG allows that too.

Wikipedia also identifies SWF as a vector format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF
It's required for use in vehicles, at least in the US. Tracking cars and even remotely disabling them is important for safety reasons. But it is suspicious.
"Doing something was a high standard" is still the main meaning of the word "professionell" in German. So someone can make something "unprofessionell" for money or "professionell" without payment.

Another word of classical origin with a striking difference is the meaning of the word "pathetisch" in German, which means "(exaggeratedly) passionate", which corresponds more or less to the meaning of the Ancient Greek word "pathetikos".

> Cutler joined Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, in 2016 after years of high-level work in the Israeli government. Her resumé includes several years at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., where she worked in public affairs and as its chief of staff from 2013 to 2016, as well as a stint as a campaign adviser for the right-wing Likud party and nearly five years as an adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Upon her hiring in 2016, Gilad Erdan, then minister of public security, strategic affairs and information, celebrated the move, saying it marked “an advance in dialogue between the State of Israel and Facebook.”

> Emerson Brooking, a resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, was reminded of the case of Ankhi Das, Facebook’s former policy head for India — another rare instance in which a single country had its own dedicated representative within the company. Das resigned from her position in 2020 after a Wall Street Journal report found she had lobbied for the uneven enforcement of hate speech rules that benefited India’s ruling Hindu nationalist party, which she supported personally. “Meta is the communications platform for much for the world, but of course not every voice is heard equally,” Brooking said in an interview.

> As recently as February 2023, Cutler’s name was floated as a possible next head of the Israeli Strategic Affairs Ministry, a government propaganda office tasked with surveilling and undermining protesters and activists abroad. The ministry has reportedly made extensive use of Meta’s platforms to infiltrate student groups and conduct propaganda campaigns. In June, Haaretz reported a project originally founded by the ministry had targeted Black lawmakers in the U.S. with “hundreds” of phony Facebook and Instagram accounts “to aggressively promote purported articles that served the Israeli narrative.” Meta later shut these accounts down.
Trying to paint unrealized gain tax as a scandal. "The IRS papers" might as well call it billionairegate.

There is a hard propaganda push to make this happen, and if it does, you can bet it won't affect these individuals. All that these "trusted" publications do when they publish this is let astute observers know that they're on the payroll of some governing class faction.
My process is as follows:

1. Live coding, in Zoom or in person. Don't play gotcha on the language choice (unless there's a massive gulf in skill transference, like a webdev interviewing for an embedded C position). Pretend the 13 languages on the candidate's resume don't exist. Tell them it can be any of these x languages, which are every language you the interviewer feel comfortable to write leetcode in.

2. Write some easy problem in that language. I always go with some inefficient layout for the input data, then ask for something that's only one or two for loops away from being a stupid simple brute force solution. Good hygienic layout of the input data would have made this a single hashtable lookup.

3. Run the 45 minute interview with a lot of patience and positive feedback. One of the best hires in our department had first-time interview nerves and couldn't do anything for the first 10 minutes. I just complimented their thinking-out-loud, laughed at their jokes, and kept them from overthinking it.

4. 80% of interviewees will fail to write a meaningful loop. For the other 20%, spend the rest of the time talking about possible tradeoffs, anecdotes they share about similar design decisions, etc. The candidate will think you're writing in your laptop their scoring criteria, but you already passed them and generated a pop-sci personality test result for them of questionable accuracy. You're fishing for specific things to support your assessment, like they're good at both making and reviewing snap decisions and in doing so successfully saved a good portion of interview time, which contributed to their success. If it uses a weasel word, it's worth writing down.

5. Spend an hour (yes, longer than the interview) (and yes, block this time off in your calender) writing your interview assessment. Start with a 90s-television-tier assessment. For example, the candidate is nimble, constantly creating compelling technical alternatives, but is not focused on one, and they often communicate in jargon. DO NOT WRITE THIS DOWN. This is the lesson you want the geriatric senior management to take away from reading your assessment. Compose relatively long (I do 4 paragraphs minimum) prose that describes a slightly less stereotyped version of the above with plenty of examples, which you spent most of the interview time specifically fishing for. If the narrative is contradicted by the evidence, it's okay to re-write the narrative so the evidence fits.

6. When you're done, skim the job description you're hiring for. If there's a mismatch between that and the narrative you wrote, change your decision to no hire and explain why.

Doing this has gotten me eye rolls from coworkers but compliments at director+ level. I have had the CTO quote me once in a meeting. Putting that in my performance review packet made the whole thing worth it.
Oh yeah, there's a whole different discussion to be had (and HN does have it often), about the problems with peer reviewed publications and citations being the end-all for graduate students and professors.

My particular school and department is interesting because it doesn't have any hard requirement for publications, and it aims to have students finish a PhD in about three years of full-time work (assuming one enters the program with a relevant master's degree already in-hand). There has been some tension between the younger assistant professors (who are still fighting for tenure) and the older full professors (who got tenure in, say, the 1990s). In practice, the assistant professors expect to see their students publish (with the professors as co-authors, of course) and would strongly prefer to see a dissertation comprised of three papers stapled together, regardless of the what the school and department officially says. The full professors, on the other hand, seem to prefer something more like a monograph that is of "publishable" quality, maybe to be submitted somewhere after graduation. They argue that the assistant professors should be able to judge quality work for themselves instead of outsourcing it to anonymous reviewers. Clearly, there are different incentives at play.

> we do have some baseline expectations courtesy of synthetic Geekbench results found earlier this month. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D scored just 1,812 and 18,003 points on the Single-Core and Multi-Core benchmarks, respectively — while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D managed 2,145 and 23,315, respectively.

That's a pretty respectable bump if the numbers hold. As always take synthetic benchmark results with a grain of salt, especially ones from some guy on the Internet with pre-release hardware.
OTOH, doesn't it also mean that (given appropriate software framework support) iGPUs with less processing capacity and slower-but-more RAM available (because system RAM is comparatively cheap and plentiful compared to VRAM) without swapping anything are more competitive against consumer dGPUs with fast-but-small RAM for both inference and training with larger models?
I'm replying to reinforce that I'm curious about the schizophrenic interpretation.

I don't think working through this further conversations or sheds light.

IMHO it creates the same problem as the initial comment, though the avenue is different ("its too confusing to discuss because the EFF says they're ineffective, but the NBC article contains 'crucial tool" vs. "its not worth discussing because the memo in the NBC article can't be trusted, broken could mean anything")
There is a mythical and near magical capacity of the mind to manipulate a virtualized potential such that a sixth sense (spacial conceptual awareness) manifestation may be explored.

Beginning purely as a phantasm of the mind, this inner extradimentionality may become every bit as important to some as anything an ordinary person would consider of the “real world.”

This sense and muscular manipulation may be developed beyond comprehension of conventional minds. Entire worlds may be built within. Some might be satisfied with a well fortified library, or citadel sanctuary. The ordinary mind is savage or stunted not to know it is there.

For better or worse, exercising this development within will acquaint you with true personal power. And it will keep your mind from growing feeble.

My belief is that errors should be handled using effect systems. So in the signature but not muddying the actual return types.

Useful effect systems allow the end user to decide where and when to have the compiler enforce errors are handled. Nim has had an effect system for a while but became much more useful when `forbids: [IOError]` was added. It makes it easy to ensure certain type of errors are handled at specific points.

More languages should embrace effect systems. Ocaml's is even used to implement multithreading support, albeit effect systems vary widely in design and theory.
It fixed the problem with C++ and in an exceptional way.

However, if someone were to abolish the TSA for being security theater, do you have confidence that people wouldn't immediately start bringing knives?

Your point is well-taken, but before 9/11 I probably carried a pocket knife on nearly every flight I took. ‘cuz people carry pocket knives, at least in the Midwest. Throw the little 2.5” blade in the bin before going through the metal detector, pick it up on the way out.

Obviously I don’t do that anymore.

Additionally, you used to get a real steak knife in first class, bigger than the knife I carried. George Carlin even did a bit about that decades ago.

As mentioned later in the comment, the real parallel to consider is that this whole thing (I believe, am I wrong?) started with:

Matt/Wordpress asking for (sizable) donation from wp-engine, and them refusing (maybe they offered an amount but balked at what was being suggested?)

and then they got kicked out of the 'wordpress store' (.org directory and access to it)

my limited understanding is that Apple demands you pay 30% of what you make from your apps, regardless.. and I think fortnite and a couple others have balked at that and got kicked out..

my DDG first result suggests Matt asked for 8% of wp-engine revenues..

and given that automattic/wp does WAY more for enhancing and securing the actual thing that their users use, compared to what Apple does for fortnites code..

seems that the parallel the author attempts to draw with Apple and it's store is hilarious- it actually shows that Matt is asking for less and providing more to wp-engine.. way more.
Absolutely. In Indian hierarchy one can blast watchmen for not doing their work properly and CISF can blast a passenger for not doing their work properly. So they are indeed powerful. One can see that in their swagger. They are there to serve government not the passengers.

Thanks for reading!

And yes, the → can be unexpected.

If you don't think about it, it just does what you expect it to do. And if you look at the details, it also makes sense. This is explained in section 3.

It turns out that → is not the actual connector. In software architecture, the connector does not directly connect components. It goes via the ports on the component(s), which are "connected" (different kind of "connected") to the roles on the connector.

Nominally, the → does this hooking up, so in theory it goes something like this:

Component1.port1 → connector.rolaA .. connector.roleB → Component2.port2

So the → "really" hooks up components to connectors via their respective ports and roles, it's not the connector and does not represent the connector. So there are no different semantics, it's always "please hook up this port to this role".

For the vast majority of cases, this much detail is way too cumbersome, which is probably one reason architecture description languages did not catch on. Fortunately it is also unnecessary in the vast majority of cases.

Objective-S takes advantage of this by making → polymorphic. So you can leave out the ports, the roles and often even the specific connector, and → figures it out anyway, filling in the blanks. This has been working extremely well so far.

If either it becomes necessary because there is ambiguity or you want to document what's going on, you can specify all these intermediate elements that → figures out for you.

I have thought about a syntax to make connectors explicit and still look like connectors, something along the lines of

filterA -pipe-> filterB

So you put the name of the connector inside the arrow. But it seems a bit wonky and so far just hasn't been proved necessary.

Have you seen an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) for a new mine in pristine wilderness? They take tens of millions of dollars and the better part of a decade. Mining companies would throw money at you if you could turn "ship in and burn a bunch of diesel on-site" or "clear 200 acres of wilderness for solar panels" into "build a small collector on-site one time" in their EIS. That being said, there aren't that many new mine sites going up in the world.

I suspect we could get collectors pretty small and efficient if they were optimized.

They don't dispute that. That's what's so weird.

The least effective FE engineers I worked with (big tech) are people who learned client-side tech by learning React. They have a very limited understanding of UI concepts and an insufficient attention to detail.

React is arguably more about encapsulation, data flow, and state than about the fundamentals of UI and UX.

My Roborock has a three button combination you have to press on the bot to enable remote viewing. I suppose once you do that all bets are off. But at least it requires access to the hardware and is off by default. Better if you could configure it to disable again after each use or periodically.
