An Originalist Supreme Court would think differently because of the compact clause:

Article I, Section 10, Clause 3:

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

For the most part the Supreme Court has let states create agreements on smaller things that wouldn’t be Congressional issues. This is a Congressional issue because they certify the vote so a politically biased Supreme Court is nearly certain to shut it down. Right now the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact isn’t in effect, so no one has standing to bring a case. But once it is in effect, expect a case to be quickly brought because opponents have had years to plan for this.
Yeah, maybe if that DJ ignores the crossfader.

I did not know that "whole numbers" refer to nonnegative integers too.

> The whole numbers were synonymous with the integers up until the early 1950s. In the late 1950s, as part of the New Math movement, American elementary school teachers began teaching that whole numbers referred to the natural numbers, excluding negative numbers, while integer included the negative numbers. The whole numbers remain ambiguous to the present day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer

> In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, possibly excluding 0. Some start counting with 0, defining the natural numbers as the non-negative integers 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., while others start with 1, defining them as the positive integers 1, 2, 3, ... . Some authors acknowledge both definitions whenever convenient. Sometimes, the whole numbers are the natural numbers plus zero. In other cases, the whole numbers refer to all of the integers, including negative integers. The counting numbers are another term for the natural numbers, particularly in primary school education, and are ambiguous as well although typically start at 1.

What a shame.
couldn't agree more... if we're talking about LISP machines-- man i wish that side won. i believe in design when it comes to creating tools for humans, because we are finite and have finite capacity. but the PoV is just not exportable to the LLM, and when you have the sorts of crystallizing collaborative moments w/ LLMs that i have had... let's just say that it's beyond question that they have way too much utility to not be the shape of things to come. they are the "copilot" today... tomorrow, the roles will be reversed. and that's AWESOME! our worse is their better and vice versa-- sounds like an amazing partnership to me. ebony and ivory.
Now show me the suicide statistics on people suffering from permanent paralysis of their limbs.
Yeah, in many ways the concept of a group is far more natural to us than the concept of natural numbers. I don't know why people make such a big deal of this, and why it's so badly explained in school.
FWIW, you can invalidate MTA-STS cache by updating the DNS assertion record to a different 'id' value. This is how you indicate a policy has changed.

So the sender is supposed to obey the normal DNS TTL caching period, and re-query the assertion record if TTL expired. It should re-fetch the MTA-STS policy if the 'id' value in the DNS assertion changed, or the max_age in the previously fetched policy has expired.

This depends on the level of support you need. Two members of staff might be fine for non-critical systems but it’s not enough to support anything that needs to be up 24/7. There’s not enough coverage and less than zero slack. If my alternative is to hire two people, I would rather spend the money with a company that is large enough to employ more people, in different timezones. But if most support can be handled by a larger body of existing staff and you only need specialists occasionally, then it might make sense.
If I open the website It says I have 99,9% uniqueness. So I'm trackable right ?

Yet when I open it again in another window, it says 100% uniqueness but it's a different Signature than previously.

I think it's saying it can't track me, because signature would have to be the same for it to work yet I'm using regular Firefox, nothing fancy.

Is that technique really effective or I'm just wrong about the signature not being the same ?
As much as it pains me to say it, it's true. I use predominantly open source software on all my computers with some small exceptions. I used to rely on some cloud services because of the convenience and nothing else. But leaks started becoming way too common and what I can say about all places that I've worked at, data is handled really badly. If you pair that with some OSINT skills, you can learn pretty much anything about anyone from a single leak. So over the past few years I've been slowly cutting down my dependency on cloud services. Nextcloud was the first big step, a zfs pool for backups, a few custom protocols for alerting and kill switches and that's it.

On paper this sounds really good but there's a lot of overhead when it comes to maintenance. "Yeah, it's just one more docker-compose.yml, big whoop"(yes kubernetes is pointless overkill if you are the sole user). I've said that too many times and it's not true cause it only takes one small thing that you overlooked and you have to spend a day or two to put everything back up together.

Another thing worth mentioning is that open source can be a good alternative but open source does not mean free or cheap. For instance, I've gotten really into drones and radio communications lately. Take hackrf and the baby brother that is flipper zero - they are both completely open source but neither of them is cheap. In fact, they are really expensive - they are effectively open source ASIC's. I'm willing to bet that north of 80% of the cost is down to the software and not the hardware - because polishing a piece of software to the point where you can pick up a product and use it without effort or a steep learning curve, involves a ton of work on behalf of developers and UX/I people.

And you can't really cut off all big tech - open source phones are BAD, you don't really have a good alternative to google maps and waze, you still heavily rely on search engines and a few dozen services if you start digging deeper. There are also a number of services which do not have an even half-decent open source alternative. Also not everyone has the skills to set up and run these things.

I think the big case in favor of self-hosting whatever you can is that while open source is far from immune to leaks, if it resides in your private network(which it should) without access to the rest of the world, those holes will eventually be patched and you can take action in the meantime - stop the service, block a few ports, etc. The odds of you personally getting affected are pretty low. Now if a leak happens in big tech, there's nothing you can do about it and by the time you learn about it, it's often too late. Honestly, this is the number one reason I'm doing this to myself.
...and treating a term for a state of being as if the state we an object, a thing, vs the state a thing is in, is a category mistake (and perhaps one that only happens with overthinking)--like what I might be doing right now? is what I'm doing right now a "thing"? No, right? Because, verbs aren't nouns. Are the states of things things? Are adjectives nouns? Are verbs nouns?

(no, but since in English I can verb my adjectived nouns into all sorts of noun-y verb craziness, nothing can get nouned and verbed out of adjectiving all day long, because English.)
Glad to hear you’ve improved your condition. The evidence suggests that crossing the 10% total energy as SFA threshold increases CVD incidence. There is no evidence (that I’ve seen) than “using up” this energy changes this risk factor.

Obviously the resulting obesity from consuming excess calories is a risk factor for CVD in itself, but the body of evidence would suggest that someone consuming >10% E from SFA, even if they’re in caloric equilibrium, will be at greater CVD risk than someone consuming less, all else held equal.

The main mechanism by which SFA is thought to increase CVD risk is by downregulation of LDL receptors, which occurs during the digestion/absorption of SFA, and is not a result of excess SFA hanging around in the body in some way. If you consume SFA, this pathway will be in play, regardless of how much is burned vs stored.

There’s no good evidence that seed oils/linoleic acid, refined or not, pose a risk for humans. There’s a lot of talk on the subject about on social media, but it’s almost entirely speculation based on animal studies.

I once bought the anti seed oil line, but on closer investigation of the evidence I changed my view and have replaced most of my SFA intake with MUFA/PUFA, mostly in the form of canola and olive oil.
This had been possible for a year already. My project gptme does it just fine (like many other tools), especially now with Claude 3.5.

Same here. Played both, both are extremely satisfying to play, but Satisfactory is just..... pretty. It's nice to take a break from building the factory to just explore the world too.
I think it's very roughly around 200,000 K!

(I'm assuming hydrogen at 200,000 K becomes fully dissociated atomic hydrogen radicals, which act as a helium-like, monoatomic ideal gas—γ = 5/3).

You seem really defensive of this article. People leave these sorts of comments on other articles on this site all the time with no comment from you or other HN admins. This one seems to have struck a nerve though. Why is that?
Yes. In fact the transition from LL to PRP took place in two steps, at different moments in time.

We used to use the LL test because the LL result is a bit stronger than the PRP result, LL stating that the number is prime, while PRP saying only that it is likely prime. This is the reason LL is still used as an after-test following any successful PRP discovery, as it happened for the most recent M52 as well.

The first transition from LL to PRP happened because a very strong and cheap error-checking algorithm, that we call "the Gerbicz error check", was discovered by Robert Gerbicz. This error-check in its most efficient form only works for PRP not for LL. This error-check allows to verify the correctitude of the computation, as it progresses on the GPU, with high confidence and low overhead. It does protect against a lot of HW errors originating from e.g. the GPU VRAM overheating, the GPU having been under-volted too aggressively, bad VRAM; but also from SW bugs and from FFT precision issues.

As the test of a single exponent takes a long time (let's say 24h on a fast GPU), having confidence that this long computation is proceeding along correctly instead of wasting cycles is a great benefit from the error-check.

The second step of the transition from LL to PRP happened when the PRP proof was introduced, following on the ideas from the VDF (Verifiable Delay Function) article, which allowed to verify cheaply that a PRP test was indeed executed correcty. This eliminated the need for the Double Check (DC) which was standard procedure with the LL test; practically speeding the process up with 100%.
More and more the last couple of years, I’ve started to realize that ”configuration languages” are just a bad idea. Please, for the love of all that is holy, just let us use a real programming language. For simple declarative configuration, it’s no more difficult to use Python (or Lua or whatever) than YAML, and for complex configuration (looking at you, YAML files for GitLab CI), it’s an absolute godsend to be able to use real if-statements and for-loops. If security/runtime is a concern, you can sandbox it or use something like Starlark.

JSON is a fine over-the-wire format, but can’t we leave YAML in the dustbin and just do it ”properly” from now on? Please?
There are plenty of new ideas happening on the Fediverse but without the advertising budget none of them are catching on. So, instead, you end up with "Twitter but not tied to just Twitter" and "Instagram but not just tied to Meta", because those are services people recognise. A good example of this may be https://joinmobilizon.org/en/, which I haven't heard of a non-Fediverse alternative for.

What doesn't help is that the Fediverse can't just design its own protocol and run with it, the whole point is for stuff to be federated. A minimal compatibility with platforms like Mastodon or another video platform is expected, and that makes developing these platforms just a tad more difficult.

This isn't exclusive to the Fediverse either. HN is a Reddit clone, which itself is a clone of every similar platform before it, going back all the way to NNTP and before; Facebook cloned Twitter into Threads, just about every messenger on my phone is just copies of copies, Google Docs is a worse copy of Microsoft Office, Bing is just Google with a theme, and so on.

It does feel like work, but that's okay! Some mechanics are mundane than others, e.g. compare clearing enemy bases to designing rail blueprints, but the game does everything to make it efficient and ejoyable: high performance, keyboard shortcuts, immense amount of quality of life features - all you get when devs love playing the game themselves.

And, even Factorio being my favorite game, I still need to take a long breaks from it because building a factory is a lot of mental effort.

Open-Source OpenAI User Interface
Hello there!

Are you excited to explore OpenAI's powerful models but don't know where to begin?

If you're non-technical, the problem is clear: OpenAI doesn't provide a user-friendly interface to try out their HTTP APIs.

While several interfaces exist, most are just clones of ChatGPT, allowing you to generate text-based content from prompts. But what about OpenAI’s other incredible models like DALL-E for image generation or TTS for natural-sounding speech? Sadly, without technical skills, experimenting with these becomes difficult.

That’s where Ortlin comes in!

Ortiln is a web-based, user-friendly interface designed to help anyone—technical or non-technical—interact with OpenAI’s APIs and underlying models with ease. And the best part? It’s completely free and open-source!

Try the live interface at https://ortlin.openuseai.com/ to experience it yourself.

Want to host it locally or on your server? It's incredibly easy—just follow the instructions at https://github.com/ortlin/ortlin and get started in seconds.

No more barriers—Ortlin puts the power of OpenAI in your hands!

The thing is you also can’t reduce psychedelics to science because they open an innately subjective (often called “mystical”) experience.

What is reproached to some of the parties here is to have a spiritual ideology, but that’s precisely what working with these medicines opens up. The healing that takes place is not so much physical, as it is psycho-spiritual, it’s the change in perception of the world - often in the direction of spiritual beliefs, that contributes to the betterment of the person’s mental health condition.

So you can’t isolate the two easily. It’s just tricky, and still this article raises important points.
Arguably the fact that someone is able to hyperfocus like that seems like an ability rather than a disability?

E.g. someone is able to focus on things that actually make a change while being in a messy room.
When there is one (or more) of something, you can observe the thing to say what there is one of. I see an apple, I can say "one apple".

When there is zero of something, what is there zero of? That question becomes a lot more difficult to answer. In theory you could say there is zero of anything not observed, but this isn't a very precise or useful definition and isn't what's done in practice. The things we choose to actively describe there being zero of depends on knowledge of what existed previously, on cultural and linguistics norms, on context etc.

For example, I can say "there are zero apples in the basket", but this requires me to know that there previously existed apples in the basket as opposed to oranges, or that the addressee of my statement was expecting apples to be there. This knowledge wouldn't be required if there was at least one apple.

Using zero fundamentally requires more mental reasoning than using small positive integers.
I don't think the problem is Chrome's source etc, but that Google pulls levers to change the web for the worse by pushing complexity.

The HW setup for finding the prime was Nvidia and AMD GPUs with good FP64 in the cloud, using "spot" instances for better price. This allowed scaling up quickly to many GPUs, and it did have a significant cost.

My personal setup is 8x Radeon Pro VII which also provide heating during the cold season. During summer the effort is in removing the excess heat, and the GPUs run in a reduced-power mode (slower & more efficient).
