There was never a 'rules-based world order'. We live purely in Pax Americana and every government exists at the pleasure of the United States. If the US wanted to, and if it did it correctly, it could easily conquer most countries. Afghanistan happened because America lost the will, not the ability. Had America gone the normal colonial route, Afghanistan would look a lot different today.
To be fair, it is only just HN comments that are fixating on the request regarding Chrome while ignoring all the other requests.
I was just about to mention that we already have this.

Though, frankly, if all of your income is W2 and you haven't fucked up your W4, you shouldn't have to file at all. If you're a W2 wageslave, the government knows how much you get paid, how much you pay in taxes, and whether you owe extra or have a refund due. Having to file a tax return in situations like that is just bureaucratic bullshit.
Looks like the warning here boils down to the source code for the machines being available to Trump's team due to their post 2020 election legal proceedings. It seems most states now perform Risk Limiting Audits to ensure statistical conformance of digitally counted votes to manually counted, voter verified paper ballots. Is there any reason to believe those wouldn't be a reasonably effective canary to indicate digital tampering?

Georgia has already certified, ostensibly performing their RLA prior as I understand is now required by their laws. Pennsylvania should be soon.

I certainly agree that the source being available to one party and not another is an unacceptable compromise of our elections integrity that needs to be addressed though. Australia's digital polling system's source is publicly available for audit. Security by obscurity is an especially weak argument to keep from publishing ours when one party with incentive to tamper already has it.
This is a great way to teach long term planning and goal setting.
That's not why, it's because the most important factor for people is price and tv with ads can sell for cheaper than the one without. I would never dream of touching a streaming service with ads but I'm clearly in the minority since I'm the only one paying the premium for ad free.
In practice the Netherlands, by announcing openly they would be arrested before their arrival, had refused to grant them diplomatic immunity. So it is going to be extremely difficult to argue such an arrest would be against the Vienna convention. The Vienna convention explicitly states that the receiving state can declare before arrival that a diplomat will not be granted immunity.

...or you could look at what is done in countries with a far better safety record and copy it. Hint: street design has a massive effect on the speed at which drivers choose to go. Narrower lanes, curves, intersections with tight corners, raised crossings, speed humps, removing on-street parking next to intersections (daylighting), etc. all reduce fatalities.
Do you mean someone is delusional in thinking they are good at something and are not ?
Everyone operates under some level of delusion. There are some very benign instances of it though. For example, some people believe their local sports team will win a championship, despite all evidence to the contrary. I think you'll have to be more specific.

Hey karussell, I really appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into Graphhopper. I wouldn't be able to create this project without GH. I have a question about memory usage during the import stage (specifically in the OSM Reader's preprocessRelations function). I'm using a HashMap<Long, List<Long>> to map way IDs to OSM bike route relation IDs, which means allocating lots of arrays. Could this be causing me to run out of heap memory faster or am I off base here?

I thought I would be able to compute the graph with 64GB of ram but it kept crushing before CH and LM stage. After switching to a 128GB instance, it finally worked, hitting around 90GB at peak memory usage. For context, I was using 3 profiles - one with CH and two with LM, plus elevation data and used all of the tips from deploy.md

It’s difficult for me to trust a framework backed by venture capital (https://blog.laravel.com/accel-invests-57m-into-laravel). There are too many incentives to prioritize making money, which makes it easy to overlook developer experience. I rather use Symfony instead.

"Differentiable Model of Morphogenesis"
If you follow the link in the article, "iSeeCars" has a table of "Fatal Accident Rate (Cars per Billion Vehicle Miles)". I don't understand why they count fatal accident rates in CARS per billion miles rather than FATALITIES per billion miles. A car that reliably kills everyone in it every crash but almost never crashes would be "More safe" by this metric.

But it's very weird. The "HIGH" list is full of normal cars like "Prius: 5.9" and "Kia Forte: 8.1" and "Infiniti Q50: 5.8"

But the stated average of the whole set is 2.8! That means there are tons of cars that are extremely safe by this metric. Why don't they show anything?

They don't show any of their data at all really. I'm sad, I really want to understand what the LOW outliers are. I think there's a chance that not showing any of the LOW side of the ranking is (purposely or accidentally) hiding some weirdness with this metric or data.

Then you see the Rate per Metro chart and realize the only thing this is tracking is drivers, and some drivers are 40x more likely to get themselves into a deadly wreck than good drivers. Same exact car (both the "dangerous" and "safe" ones) in different metros can swing by an entire magnitude. Apparently there really ARE some cities where drivers are just trying to kill each other.

We probably all know a Tesla owner or Musk believer. Maybe a flat-earther, someone who believes in "manifesting," someone devoutly religious. I have personal experience with several people who suffer from long-term delusions. I may have that problem myself, but the beauty of delusions comes from them feeling real so I wouldn't know.

> It's unclear how filling reports with "random bullshit" will protect anyone from liability... It seems you're saying that the current situation is so bad that anything different would be an improvement, and less-random bs is better than outright bs.

Exactly. Oftentimes reports are filled with nonsensical documentation that are only discovered during the discovery process of litigation after a disaster has already happened. For example, from a real safety report at a chemicals facility, there was an instance of a report stating that under high valve pressure "many bad things will happen". Not joking, literally quoted verbatim.

Most companies' legal teams would love to have their engineers write proper documents and most engineers would love to not spend time on documentation. GenAI can fill that gap by at least giving a baseline starting point which can be edited further for a fraction of the time than writing from scratch.
The solution is to not connect the TV to the internet.

I've had an Ender 3 for 5 years and just got a Bambu P1S, and it's amazing how far things have progressed. The Bambu is just a workhorse, I currently have it printing Christmas ornaments to give the extended family. Where the Ender I would shy away from things unless I REALLY needed them, because I knew I'd have to spend time screwing around, the Bambu basically just works.

I bought the Ender for my son, and he put it together and helped me do some mods to it and print some things, but after about 3 months he never touched it again. Just gave it to his school when I got the Bambu.

The A1 seems to be quite a capable little printer.

Beyond just printing things you find online, learning CAD is a really fun way of turning ideas into tangible objects.
There's a ton of people in this thread, and there are always a few who will click out of curiosity. That doesn't make it useful.
That's actually fair. Philly's 2022 numbers were 503 murders / 1793 woundings, and 2023 numbers were 422 murders / 1376 woundings. 84% murders / 76.5% woundings. Definitely trending in a better direction. If the 2024 numbers arrive and Philly's still looking better than maybe things are changing for the positive in that area.

Ask HN: How much better is Postmark vs. AWS SES?
It seems to be that AWS SES is cheaper and more flexible, but Postmark is essentially charging for giving you the typical use-cases and handling some of the problems almost-out-of-the-box?

For instance, while configuring AWS SES, I had to read through many documentation pages about DMARC, DKIM, SPF, Outlook protection, SMTP configuration, and Email+DNS (for Cloudflare).

Is my understanding correct that Postmark is just all of this low-level details as a service where you pay for an extra premium and support.

I assume you still would have to configure some infrastructure, but it'd mainly be things that they can't do themselves like setting up DNS records.

Some people claim that they got over 10% in open rates, but I wonder if that's because of some nice content analysis they do and some best practices around email protocols that go over my head, or if it's just the typical SPF+DKIM+DMARC issue.
Yeah! In my opinion, the corresponding "real life" globes I found are pretty ugly when compared to the AI-generated images.

I'm sure there is a way of interpreting a relu as a sparsity prior on the layer.
Like SSDs, the more expensive the drive the more extra storage cells it's got for the controller to use later
Bayesian Neural Networks just seem like a failed approach, unfortunately.
For one, Bayesian inference and UQ fundamentally depends on the choice of the prior, but this is rarely discussed in the Bayesian NN literature and practice, and is further compounded by how fundamentally hard to interpret and choose these priors are (what is the intuition behind a NN's parameters?). Add to that the fact that the Bayesian inference is very much approximate, and you should see the trouble.

If you want UQ, 'frequentist nonparametric' approaches like Conformal Prediction and Calibration/Multi-Calibration methods seem to work quite well (especilly when combined with the standard ML machinery of taking a log-likelihood as your loss), and do not suffer from any of the issues above while also giving you formal guarantees of correctness. They are a strict improvement over Bayesian NNs, IMO.
> Sounds like people mostly living in different bubbles? What do they know about the world?

Well, they do know something about math — in particular that it requires a certain "attitude", something that no-one told them about in school and they felt they only discovered by chance.

Starting from Descartes and his famous "method", continuing with Newton, Einstein, Grothendieck all these guys insisted that they were special because of this "attitude" and not because of what people call "intelligence". They viewed intelligence as a by-product of their method, not the other way around. They even wrote books as an attempt to share this method (which is quite hard to achieve, for reasons I explain in my book.)

Why do you bring "kids who fail in school" and "start selling drugs" into this conversation? What does it have to do with whether math genius is driven by genetics or idiosyncratic cognitive development?

And why would a mathematician be disqualified from discussing the specifics of math just because they're not hanging out with lost kids? Are you better qualified? Did you sequence the DNA of those kids and identified the genes responsible for their learning difficulties?

>> [they] don't think it's because of their genes

> Do you think someone would tell you, if he/she thought it was?

Well, an example I know quite well is mine. I was certainly "gifted" in math — something like in the top 1% of my generation, but not much above and definitely nowhere near the IMO gold medallists whom I met early in my studies.

A number of random events happened to me, including the chance discovery of certain ways to mentally engage with mathematical objects. This propelled me onto an entirely different trajectory, and I ended up solving tough conjectures & publishing in Inventiones & Annals of Math (an entirely different planet from the top 1% I started from)

My relative position wrt my peer group went through a series of well-delineated spikes from 17yo (when I started as an undergrad) to 35yo (when I quit academia), associated with specific methodological & psychological breakthroughs. I'm pretty confident that my genes stayed the same during this entire period.

And as to why I was initially "gifted", I do have some very plausible non-genetic factors that might be the explanation.

I don't claim this proves anything. But I see no reason why my account should be disqualified on the grounds that I'm good at math.

Usually, competency in one domain is presumed to make you a bit more qualified than the random person on the internet when it comes to explaining how this domain operates. Why should math be the exception?
Getters/setters are just as easily associated with hidden behavior that makes systems worse.

The only sibling comment of yours that bothered to even show code just demonstrated how they turned user.lastPost into a method that makes a hidden DB query.

Yet the benefits are supposedly so nuanced and hard to get across that merely asking about it gets a "you'll understand when you get some real experience ;)" comment from you.

Dang has already addressed this:

> It's common, if not inevitable, for people who feel strongly about $topic to conclude that the system (or the community, or the mods, etc.) are biased against their side (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). One is far more likely to notice whatever data points that one dislikes because they go against one's view and overweight those relative to others (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). This is probably the single most reliable phenomenon on this site. Keep in mind that the people with the opposite view to yours are just as convinced that there's bias, but they're sure that it's against their side and in favor of yours.

As an "outside observer" to the insanity in this thread, I think your post and others like it only solidify Dang's point on this. In your eyes there will never be an opposing viewpoint to yours that you don't consider "anti-Israel". It'll always seem as such to you regardless of any rational explanation.

Edit: this also goes for the poster that is indiscriminately going around throwing "zionist" labels against anyone that opposes their views. Which once again, solidifies Dang's point. Both you and they will always proclaim "bias!"
Very cool, but to me it kind of illustrates a common pattern of thought on here which is that there's theoretically some sort of "optimum" city design which works for everyone which is a fallacy.

There are costs and benefits to everything. In London you can walk ten minutes, jump on the train, get where you want, have a walkable (ish) town centre, go home drunk, and it's accessible to the poor (if we assume away rents which are theoretically solvable).

But then in various American cities you can drive 20 minutes in your own bubble from your suburban house to a parking lot around the corner from the bar/restaurant/whatever. You're shielded from weather and don't have to socialise with undesirables.

Neither of those systems feel inherently "wrong" or "right" to me, they feel like different opinions. I've enjoyed both at different stages of my life for different reasons.

If anything I feel that the "worst case" is when you try to mix both because then you either have hilarious congestion (because cars are too big to fit on medieval streets) or huge walking distances / public transport dead spots (because trains can't cover large areas with low population density).

I would expect with the judiciary we have now, the expectation is that it will sell to Microsoft who have built Edge on top of blink/v8. My frustration with this is that Microsoft faced this in Europe with IE at the turn of the century and we did nothing to stop it in the US now it feels like we want them to monopolize browser pick up Google's search scraps and monopolize PC OSes too without any repercussion. While Google can't have two of the 3. Seriously, what sexual favors did they provide to keep dodging this for 50 years? Is it okay for them because they're not always successful? Or because their founders were white Americans?

array_find parameter ordering is modeled after other non-variadic array functions, e.g. array_filter also having ($array, $callback) order.
