This is incorrect. Very incorrect and disastrously so. Drop 0.3 in here: https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html

You can also drop 524535643, an integer clearly less than 2^53 and is off by 5.

This is even seen here:

Thank you for the valuable advice; I completely agree with your point. I’ll make sure to follow your suggestion and consider writing a blog post that highlights an interesting technical challenge I encountered and solved during the project’s development. I hope this will engage readers and help showcase the project’s importance without appearing as direct promotion. Thanks again for your support and guidance.
Legally yes, but in reality not. In most companies or projects legal tells me not to look at it all, esp. the FSF. I can look at the API, but not the implementation.

That's why it's called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-room_design.
Fascinating. Can you go into more details explaining what your understanding of the paper is? I'm reading it now but I'm not familiar with the field.

This is mentioned in the article, but it's important to know that this is not just some Italian novelty, there has been a worldwide effort to figure out how to tax digital services provided by multinational companies in a way that makes sense and avoids funny business with transfer pricing and other tax loopholes, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_erosion_and_profit_shifti.... The news here is primarily that Italy is not waiting on a big multilateral agreement but has started to implement some of these ideas on its own.
Thanks for the clarification in the title, I was confused for a second there.

In all seriousness, nice work!

Show HN: Echodocs – Automate documentation and knowledge transfer with AI
Hey, super proud to present you my very first product.

It all started out with a few lines of Python+APIs that I used when I had to do tons of knowledge transfer and documentation when switching projects frequently (I'm in IT); I turned it into a repo and from there got quite some demand and decided to make it available as a SaaS.

echodocs.ai simplifies documenting, curating, and sharing knowledge through AI-driven transcription and automated documentation, converting audio into accurate, multilingual content in over 50 languages.

Key features:

- Enhanced Transcription: Delivers highly accurate, context-aware transcripts even for niche domain-specific topics
- Model-agnostic: Takes best LLMs across the brench to optimize for each task
- Integrated Workflow: Converts audio to documents seamlessly, eliminating the need to switch between tools
- Document Templates: Utilizes predefined templates to remove the need for manual prompt creation
- AI Ready: Applies content structuring and formatting optimized for usage within RAG-applications (eg chatbots)

Check it out or leave some feedback! If you like, reach out at hello@echodocs.ai
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t see why a payment processor needs to know anything other than the price, and maybe the merchant. I’m much less likely to use any of these other services if this is the direction they are heading.

They are both using the innate incompatibilities between browsers to further entrench their mobile device market share positions.

Safari is (unanimously) shit - even without Google's PWA's moot gloating.

Apple disallows browsers other than Safari, and have deprecated Windows/Android versions.

I'm interested in how you accomplish this. I can do something along the lines of that by getting myself heated. I actually get a hothead and a tingling comes up to my brain like it's passing in a channel. It could simply be a sensation rising within the brain though, without an actual transport of something.

I can focus better after but it doesn't clear my head, just use that frustration or anger to become determined.
Is there something new here? I’m under the impression that we knew this kind of thing was possible with enough resources.
What? It is there already in Firefox latest version. Do you mean it will take that long until the majority of users have it?

If you decide to not update or use a version that is updated less often, that is not the fault of the people working on the software.

Be honest and admit that you are knowingly using a Firefox version that gets major updates only every 52 weeks and still complain about not getting a released feature.

> Text fragments are currently supported in all the browsers.

All meaning all the browsers listed in the linked table. These may be the major browsers, but not all of them.
That list makes for a nice slidedeck but the separation (like many things in tech) isn't as clear cut as the metaphor.

"Something you know" (password) becomes "something you have" as soon as you store/autogenerate/rotate those passwords in a manager (which is highly recommended).

"Something you have" in the form of a hw key is still that device generating a key (password) that device/browser APIs convey to the service in the same way as any other password.

"Something you are" is a bit different due to the algorithms used to match biometric IDs but given that matching is less secure than cryptographic hash functions - this factor is only included in the list for convenience reasons.

The breakdown of this metaphor is one of the reasons passkeys are seen as a good thing.
Queen Elizabeth II still got horses as a present.

For those ancient animal gift exchanges I always wonder about the practicality. Travelling overland and over the Himalayas with lions does not seem like the best thing to do.

Also: Back in 801/802 Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne send an emissary - Isaac, the jew - to the Caliph in Baghdad, Harun Al-Rashid. Yes, that one. For the return journey the caliph gave a present, an elephant called Abul Abbas. And according to the historical chronicles Isaac really travelled with Abul Abbas from Badghad to todays Tunesia, crossed the Mediterranean on a ship and travelled to the emperor's court in Aachen, in western Germany. Charlemagne used the elephant in his campaign against the saxons. Abul Abbas seems to have survived until 810, when he died in todays northwestern Germany.

I do love the origin of the term white elephant:

> Because the animals were considered sacred and laws protected them from labor, receiving a gift of a white elephant from a monarch was simultaneously a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing because the animal was sacred and a sign of the monarch's favour, and a curse because the recipient now had an animal that was expensive to maintain, could not be given away, and could not be put to much practical use.
Of course there was a mature way, as any other major project would have handled it. Just see the third email on that matter.

The first by Gregg was unprofessional (did he not anticipate the uproar?), the 2nd by Linus childish beyond repair (worse than the other prominent manchild Elon Musk), the third by James Bottomley finally ok. He even had to excuse the poor handling before.

If you have a single database than maybe you can (and should?) just start with a basic, single table approach, but as you grow in size and complexity FF management can become a challenge, with reporting gaps and feature release management. I usually see two charateristics with the former approach: growth in the # of FFs over time and a messy Excel report for what they are, do and if anyone still hits the old code. This might be fine for a while, or forever, but often gets painful.

> You do understand the 'queue' are sick people who need treatment? If the 'queue' goes away then they're just untreated and potentially die.

Huh? How does having a queue help the doctor see more patients?

Let's assume our doctor can handle X patients a day. Having a six months long wait list does not increase X.

(If, for compassionate reasons, you want to always run the doctor at full capacity X, you will want some short waitlist, so that when a patient cancels you can backfill. But you don't need a six months waitlist for that.)

So you can carefully raise prices a bit, so that you can still see the same number of patients a day as before. But the doc gets more money, and the waitlist (almost) disappears.

(It's the exact same logic as congestion charging.)

They can eg use the money to make their life easier, eg by having their houshold chores done by a professional.

> Doctors like money but, at least where I come from, you don't go into medicine for cash.

Or they can donate the extra money to an efficient charity.

> there is actually such a thing as overtreatment. There's this really interesting statistical point where too much testing can actually cause harm, even if the test it self is harmless, because it discovers things that wouldn't have really been a problem ('incidentalomas').

Agreed.

But my argument even works without harm of overtreatment: extra testing only does you statistical good. And if you eg do colonoscopies every day instead of every year, you aren't gonna catch that many extra cancers.

Not sure how either side in this dispute are going to “win”.
The output in various languages in rather questionable. Not wrong per-se as it's totally valid code, but just.. not idiomatic and not how a developer fluent in that language would implement it.
I suspect GP means exfiltrating the archive (hence the suggestion that it will never go back in the box) rather than setting them fully readable on GBS itself.

And I agree, someone should do that, because keeping books locked up that the rightsholders can’t be bothered to even attempt to make money from is asinine. Too bad our government doesn’t agree with me, so we’ll just have to wait for it to accidentally walk out the door.
> yet the idea that a project no longer actively developed will be rewritten in rust is not?

Rewriting it in Rust while continuing to actively develop the project is a lot more plausible than keeping it in C++ and being able to "maintain a stable codebase" but somehow still fix bugs.

(Keeping it in C++ and continuing active development is plausible, but means the project will continue to have major vulnerabilities)
I was unemployed for 6 months last year as a JavaScript developer. The first jobs that became available were due to my TS but I couldn’t relocate to the other side of the country. Then there were other jobs available but I just got sick of it. The more I interviewed the more I felt like I was in a job for small children whom expected small childish things.

Eventually some defense contractors reached out to me in a different line of work. I completely seized it. I finally escaped from the toddler playpen of fullstack framework stupidity.

Look for "bug detector" on eBay, there are lots of RF and optical camera detectors and they are fairly cheap. They work, at least so far as detecting steady streams of WiFi data, and cellphone transmissions, I've tried a couple of them:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m...

The optical camera detectors work based on a simple idea, red LED's are used to create a circular pattern of light and you look through a red filter at your space. A camera lens is concave and symmetric so it reflects the LED's in the same circular pattern. Blink the LED's. Look through the red filter and scan around the room. Anything that reflects a discernable circular blinking LED pattern is a lens or lens like. Basically it makes it easy to see everything that reflects light symmetrically back at you. Move around a little and anything with a lens will stand out. It only works with fairly large lenses though, a pinhole camera would not be detectable.

Their RF detectors have adjustable sensitivity and indicate amplitude of the signal. Good enough to track the transmissions back to the source, though they don't provide any frequency information. Range is somewhat limited so you have to move around a room to scan it.

TinySA works well for detecting RF sources also. I don't know what the exact update rate is but the one I have seems to update at least a few times per second. It's a little tedious to use, the RF spectrum is big and you'll find quite a few spikes from sources in it and you have to zoom in on each one to get the exact frequency and observe how it behaves (or maybe there is a way to select a peak of interest? I haven't played with it much.) You'll find FM radio stations, cellular communications, cordless phones, and lots more.

Most people are not going to be finding surveillance bugs in their homes or offices. However these things are useful for understanding what your RF environment is like or troubleshooting RF devices. Might be good for telling if your smart appliance is spying on you, for example if the detector beeps every time you change channels on your TV.
The article has too narrow of definition of what a norm is--since around 1910 or so, we've had to have a more expansive notion of what can be a norm.

e.g. the norm for Minkowski's space-time can be negative and does not satisfy the triangle inequality.

Imagine the sheer courage it took for Minkowski to propose a distance function which did not satisfy the triangle inequality.....the moral of the story is yes, learn up on these concepts, but don't be so wedded to somebody else's definition that you can't see when it should be relaxed and generalized.
Perhaps the HiFi ones used some additional processing like Dolby Noise Reduction, which interfered with whatever signal modulation method was used by your computer to save digital data on cassettes.
I wonder how this will work with hypophantic and aphantic individuals (people with little to no "mind's eye" visual imagery), such as myself. Like would the effect still be registered the same as anyone else, or would it cause the imagery effect to lessen or be ineffective altogether?

“Other studies have suggested that the glymphatic system may be most active during sleep.”

When you get a Milton and/or a Helene every few years - or every year, or more than once a year - there's no practical way to rebuild, and insurance will be a distant memory.

The only reason most people don't know this is because extreme weather events around the world aren't making the news unless they're local-ish.

Hardly anyone in the US has heard about Acapulco after Otis, or the recent rain bomb storms in France, Spain, and Italy, or the flooding in Iran, or the fact that large areas of arable land in the UK are waterlogged and farmers are promising significantly smaller crop yields.
