My Honda Fit 2015 is fond of displaying temporary banners on the touchscreen, declaring "This feature is not available while the vehicle is in motion.". But it never tells me _what_ feature is not available. I can't even remember the last time something was actually unavailable while in motion. Of course, I've gotten used to ignoring the message, except to sometimes wonder why it doesn't tell my which feature is unavailable.
Fire is going to happen. The more you prevent fire the bigger the fire becomes when it does happen.
I don't understand why `a += b` is called binary (I agree!) but `a f= b` would be called ternary. I guess it's thinking of `f` as one of the arguments?
+1 on goofy snowboard. Just feel right.
Do they? That's generally the government. Are there HOA's that are actually responsible for the basic functions of government?
"Lambda calculus" is sometimes used to mean "simply typed lambda calculus", which is mainly used to refer to simple type theory (STT), which is also called "Church's type theory". STT is also often identified with higher-order logic, since just two primitive types (basic "entities" like chairs and the "truth values" T/F) and the function type (a --> b) suffice to express arbitrary logical objects. STT is indeed an invention of Church, and it has had a major influence on other modern type theories, which are often described as extensions of simple type theory. These also influenced some programming languages with complex type system, like Haskell.
Being anti-illegal immigration is a very popular political position.

LNL is a great paper launch but I have yet to see a reasonably priced LNL laptop so far. Nowadays I can find 16GB Airs and X Elite laptops for 700-900 bucks, and once you get into 1400 territory just pay a bit more for M4 MBPs which are far superior machines.

And also, they compete in the same price bracket as Zen 5, which are more performant with not that much worse battery life.

LNL is too little too late.
I think this may fall (conceptually) under the range operators.
I think that to a certain extent the quality of libraries can depend on language features.
Yeah, you're right. I got my sentence completely backwards. Apologies (way too late to edit).

Equal opportunity, not equal outcome.
The COP is AMD/Xilinx. I have no idea what the agilex 3 and 5 costs are, I'm not an Altera user. I will note though, having used Lattice, Microchip, and (admittedly at the start of Titanium) Efinix, none of the tools come close to Vivado/Vitis. I'm on lattice at the moment and I've lost countless hours to the tools not working or working poorly on Linux relative to Xilinx. Hobbyist me doesn't care, I'll sink the hours in. Employee me does care, though.
It shouldn’t be. There is no monopoly. There are people that are mad you can’t get blue iMessages from an android and you can’t side load “easily”. That’s it.
Dolphins swimming into bays is actually somewhat common. If you spend a few hours every day on the water, you’re likely to see a few dolphins every year.

I live in rural America specifically because I can do whatever I want to with my property without some retired busybody up my ass.

Spoiler: my property isn't a mess and the house is well kept. Because it's better for me that way. But I can also build a small shed if I feel like it without worrying about other people. And I can pee outside on a tree. That's a bonus as well.
I'm surprised that they chose 3 pretty complex plants. The duckweed seems like the best idea, but wouldn't it be more useful at this point to be experimenting with more primitive components of an ecosystem rather than full-fledged plants? Like algae and fungus and phytoplankton. It just seems like the question of whether a plant can survive and grow at all on the moon is not that different from whether a human can survive on the moon, and we already know that humans do pretty ok for limited time as long as you keep them in their spacesuits. I guess this is just figuring out what is required for a "plant spacesuit" to start working on extending how long one can last.

I guess it's a top-down vs bottom-up philosophy, or something. I mean, even starting with phytoplankton, we'll have to provide missing nutrients. So it's not like you can just genetically engineer phytoplankton into terraforming the moon on their own. Unless you can figure out how to genetically engineer in a little nuclear reactor so the plants can produce their own missing elements...
Why would you use a b tree if you don't need sorting? It will not only be slower but require a lot more to make lock free (is this hash map lock free?).
I worked as an electrical engineer in the past, and there was definitely a lot of corner cutting, less-than-ideal parts, less-than-ideal suppliers, low-quality materials, and simple day-to-day things at work that just make the life of engineers bad.

But that doesn't mean you throw the baby with the bathwater. I was still liable for things like fire hazard or RF interference, among other things.
Yes, and laws involve intent. A lot of laws "when you do a thing that has a result and you intend that result to happen, you're guilty of creating the result". It doesn't matter the thing you do. If you invent some new way of killing someone, and kill someone with it, you're guilty of murder even if the never heard of this particular way of killing someone, etc.

In Apple's case, the edict was to create competition by opening up the app stores. Apple "opened" its app store in a way that failed to actually allow competition and so it is subject to the fine. This is exactly why laws work this way - to prevent what is now called "gaming" the system.
I've been thinking about this a bunch lately and very much agree. We really need a way to build these nanodevices that doesn't involve lithography. Using something like DNA to carry information to the surface seems way easier and more effective/robust as we continue to scale down and out.
Show HN: Firecrawl-Simple – Stable fork of Firecrawl optimized for self-hosting
Firecrawl Simple is a stripped down and stable version of firecrawl optimized for self-hosting and ease of contribution.

The upstream firecrawl repo contains the following blurb:

>This repository is in development, and we're still integrating custom modules into the mono repo. It's not fully ready for self-hosted deployment yet, but you can run it locally.

Firecrawl's API surface and general functionality were ideal for our Trieve sitesearch product, but we needed a version ready for self-hosting that was easy to contribute to and scale on Kubernetes. Therefore, we decided to fork and begin maintaining a stripped down, stable version.

Fire-engine, Firecrawl's solution for anti-bot pages, being closed source is the biggest deal breaker requiring us to maintain this fork. Further, our purposes not requiring the SaaS and AI dependencies also pushes our use-case far enough away from Firecrawl's current mission that it doesn't seem like merging into the upstream is viable at this time.
Sorry, I meant the 2nd sentence of the OP, where they mention Uber paying off Macron.

Again, most buildings are low rise, especially old buildings, so of course most soft story buildings are low rise. But both low rise and high rise buildings can be soft story.

The reason buildings don’t collapse under shear (think side to side force like would be applied by strong wind or an earth quake) is in part because the interior walls offer shear strength. If you have too few interior walls, and you haven’t compensated via other mechanisms like stronger sheathing, then you risk catastrophic collapse. This is a risk in old construction where walls may have been removed or in cases where building weren’t constructed to appropriate standards. In Turkey, this was particularly bad because the use of concrete in floors and roofs results in more shear force.

The tl;dr is that this isn’t a low-rise vs. high-rise thing. It’s mostly an old vs. new thing.

Defense Llama: The LLM Purpose-Built for American National Security
Because they never actually intend to, in any meaningful way. Trump is the wildcard; he was the first to actually do it, and the result was a lot of people complaining about rising construction costs and a shrinking labor pool. The actual goal for these donors and politicians is to keep a steady influx of exploitable labor to serve as the poorly-compensated, mistreated underclass that most Americans would riot rather than let themselves become; enough so that they always have something to run on, but not so many that they actually have to take action (e.g., when even liberals or progressives start having an issue with it). Same thing with Democrats and abortion.

The "interesting" (in Chinese proverbial terms) part is that we're living in times where a certain charlatan's actions have lead to the big red button actually being pushed on both matters. Whoever wins tonight, it certainly looks like we're about to test if each respective development has any bearing on polls, or if parties can just run on anti-immigration/pro-choice vibes ad nauseum, regardless of what's actually happened wrt each policy over the past (few) decade(s).
You have to realize that as an individual, you have no power anyways

It doesn't matter if an individual personally has access to ML models, because government and/or huge corporations will ensure that individuals cannot use them for anything that would threaten government or corporate interests

This unfettered explosion of ML growth is disempowering all of us. Those with power are not using these tools to augment us, they are hoping to replace us.
Yes, SQL can perform the task, but there are conflicts/performance issues in the ranking algorithm when it comes to tied rankings or pulling from X rank offset. In addition heavy writes and reads may affect performance of other queries outside of leaderboards.

I am slowly working on a gaming portal platform, and I need to be able to host endless amounts of statistic leaderboards which can be individually cut many different ways. I'm researching if its even possible to be a bit more efficient and optimized to make a leaderboard focused database.
This is true of corals, and they are often considered "colonial" organisms instead of an individual.

That said, I don't think anyone who studies biology is particularly concerned with hard-line definitions, as nature tends to eschew them every chance it has.

I think Pando and corals being considered "modular bodyplans/habits" is perhaps a more useful concept than individual or clone.
The code linked does the following:

- attempt to acquire an RWLock without blocking

- if it does, wake the task waiting for the lock

- if it doesn't, return "not ready yet"

The RWLock is straight from the standard lib; there's no loop and no spinning involved. Every single Future you look at will look like this, by specification they cannot block, only return "ready" (and wake the task), or return "not ready".
I’m curious as to which packages you are unable to find older versions for. You mention snakemake, but that doesn’t seem to have any sort of issues.

In some states it is, but state-level elected officials have only weak levers with which to influence the rate of illegal immigration.

I don't know much about the topic, but conservative commentator Ann Coulter complained that although he certain got votes by talking about it, Trump didn't do much against illegal immigration and probably doesn't really want to do much about it.
A lot of people see anything other than a Black & Decker drip coffee pot or a Keurig pod machine as "hipster coffee," somehow. But being perceived as hipsterish is the only thing that makes something hipsterish, so they can't really be wrong.
I’m not talking about using hot sticks used for disconnecting and reconnecting live conductors, I’m talking about removing and replacing switchgear breakers for maintenance and testing from energized switchgear.

There is a risk of arc flash when you disconnect the bus fingers and also when you reconnect them to the bus, and a robot is easier to replace than a human.
Mozilla management had friends that needed the money so they created those jobs, in my mind they should have donated it to EFF instead.
If range was the main criteria, of course it's not competitive.
In weight (or lack of a weight penalty), power efficiency, vehicle handling dynamics, and size efficiency it was hugely competitive - for miles per kWh, it was not surpassed until the current get Ioniq/EV6 came out.

Someone pointed out thought - in a scenario where you charge your car nightly like your phone, absolute range (and thus excessively large/heavy battery packs) should not be a main consideration. And one would think that the I3's carbon fiber chassis should need a much smaller battery to equal or surpass the range of a Cybertruck, for example.
Vogue is indeed a stereo fest. But I always felt sorry for the handclap/fingersnap that seems to have been forgotten, trying to get some attention on the left hand side of the mix. Dry and lonely without any shine or treatment. Maybe it's a symbol for the shy people doing their thing on the darker sides of the dance floor...

The market can hardly be called irrational on this. AMD's market value pretty much already priced in that they would take over Intel's place in the datacenter, their valuation is more than double Intel's with a PE of 125, despite them being fabless and ARM gaining ground in the server space. That's why you are seeing big swings in prices, because anything short of "we are bankrupting Intel and fighting Nvidia in the AI accelerator space" is seen as a loss.
There's no such thing as "parsing the string content according to... syntax". The string stored in the Excel file is what it is.

The database does not "only allow strings enclosed by single quotes". Instead, it requires quotes around the string (and also escaping for embedded quotes - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1586560/ - and possibly other characters) in the database query that is used to do the insertion. The database can store any string.

You should not attempt to format the string into the SQL query yourself. Instead, use a parameterized query. This is a question of understanding the library that you use from Python to interact with SQL - it has nothing to do with where the data came from.

You can and should use whatever library you like that will read the Excel file, in order to get the data. It's irrelevant to the problem you're actually trying to solve.

If there's a specific reason (imposed by a program that is using the database, not by MSSQL itself, which - again - doesn't care) that strings stored in the database need to be "sanitized" (i.e. altered to make sure they don't contain certain things, or meet other specific requirements), you need to identify the rules for this yourself, and implement them. This is "business logic", not part of the problem of working with SQL.
It’s probably more in line with “no one reported any bugs so probably there aren’t any”.

Your process, while undeniably more correct than mine, is substantially more involved. Mine goes like this:

1. In the fall, drive the boat onto the hauler's trailer, unstep the masts, and transport it to the yard. Place on blocks and pressure wash.

2. Winterize the boat, wait for spring.

3. In the spring, break out the shop vac and sander and sand the hull. Since it's a multi season ablative paint, don't sand it all off--just enough to smooth it out and get the dried, hard top layer off.

4. Roll on a coat of paint.

5. When the truck arrives to splash the boat, slap some paint on the spots where the stands' pads were, and where the blocks were under the keel.

6. Step and rig the masts.

7. Splash the boat and go sailing.

Steps 3-7 take place on two consecutive days, along with a bunch of other maintenance activities.

I don't know why they chase other products when they could take both of those and have some sort of premium additions to charge for. I pay for my mail clients, my calendar clients, and would pay for a browser with extra features / extensions.

That said I like, and use, Firefox for all of my work related tasks. And I have nothing against them having "too many employees". A non-profit providing jobs is not a bad thing and feels like the best of both worlds.
Ask HN: Can all of 32bit computing fit within a single 16GB permutation of 2^32?
And am I correct in intuiting that computing over the permutation would be NP-Complete?

The idea is that since technically all 32 bit opcodes, data representations, and encoding instructions(Unicode text, 24 bit color/audio) for computers come down to byte-sized combinations of bits (yes, there's nibbles and words and half-words too)--and these are necessarily limited to <2^32--, that any combination of bits used to represent an opcode or data are stored within the permutation, eliminating the need to store data beyond the 16GB partition.

Every bit pattern needed to move to another bit pattern is contained within the permutation.

This horrible Hello World bit bang I did on an 8bit CPU I made up is contained within the permutation, and could conceivably run against a virtualization of the CPU which would also be contained within the permutation if it were virtualized on a 32bit system.

The permutation, being a tape of 1s and 0s could then be acted upon by a multi-state machine to reproduce the actions necessary to play an audio file or execute a program without any additional data storage.

Has this been theorized before? Is it the sort of thing that is so obvious that it's taken for granted and not worth discussion? Is the NP-hardness of it so astronomical only the insane could and would conceive of such a folly?

Not the Turing Machine bit, obviously, but that all representations of data and program execution for any 32 bit system are necessarily contained within a permutation of the 32bit space?

My intuition about it being NP-hard or NP-Complete is that it seems, thinking briefly about it, that you would need to know ahead of time which pattern jumps to the next pattern which reprents your data or instruction and also jumps to the next next pattern so on such that to derive the starting pattern you need to follow all possible patterns from the destination pattern back to the starting pattern for all possible actions taken. At that point we're just solving the halting problem the hard way, aren't we?

> While the AM386 CPU was essentially ready to be released prior to 1991, Intel kept it tied up in court.[2] Intel learned of the Am386 when both companies hired employees with the same name who coincidentally stayed at the same hotel, which accidentally forwarded a package for AMD to Intel's employee.[3]
> when companies start deciding that access to a shrinking European market just isn't worth the cost and hassle.

Aka never. First off because they would get shredded by their investors, and second because the competitors emerging in that void would end up being threats in the future.
I have twice, it's great. Highly recommend.
