That's why I said it would be interesting to see how insurance companies decide on this. The insurance companies definitely would want this to be considered an act of war, I would expect, so they wouldn't have to pay out. But an act of war against a NATO country would be a much bigger deal, so I would expect that the governments of the necessary countries to not want this to be considered one and we'll have to wait and see what shakes out from all of this.

UNCLOS Article 113 seems to say (to this non-lawyer) that the merchant ship operating country is responsible for punishment, and the only protection is if the mariners can prove that they "acted merely with the legitimate object of saving their lives or their ships, after having taken all necessary precautions to avoid such break or injury." Article 114 says that the merchant ship owner is responsible for the cost of repairs.

So that means, if it can be proven that Yi Peng 3 was responsible for this, then it's going to be on the Ningbo Yipeng Shipping Company to pay, and the PRC to punish. From what I have been able to find, that is a small shipping company with just two ships, one of which is currently unable to operate due to being stuck in the Kattegat. I suspect that means that not much money would be available from that direction, and so I wonder if the insurance companies would be on the hook for whatever excess costs are born by the various companies.
You've seen bad art at some point in your life. Don't lie.
Please, please show us your experiments.
I won't criticize the Pentagon. They're taking orders from higher up who's waiting for Russia to escalate in order to respond. The ballistic missile strike on Dnipro is a new devlopment: "This could have been a strategic nuclear strike, but it's a Russian PR statement instead". I wonder what South Korea is waiting for, Kim getting proper ICBM tech from Russia?
I had a similar experience many years ago. I spent several hours writing some pseudocode to show how I would solve a particular problem.

The interviewer rejected it and said he wanted working and tested code, which I estimated would take nearly 100 hours to do.

I told him I wasn't interested in working for free, but I would gladly do it for my normal consulting fee that I was charging at the time.

Didn't hear back from him. Dodged a bullet there.
I'm not certain about OP's objection but for me it's less the function name and more the terrible history of how PHP tried to automatically fix SQL injection and instead made everything a thousand times worse. If you're not using bound parameters for user data you're taking a huge risk and making your life multitudes more difficult. PHP's PDO is by far the better option at this point but it suffers from poor enough usability that I've built my own wrapper for it at two different companies.

Show HN: Artificial Sounds – Stable Audio Sound Effects Generator
Yet Another AI Wrapper (TM).
I needed 10000+ random sound effects for another project I'm working on, and thought It would be an interesting challenge to build a simple AI powered tool for my own needs.
The thing works but the quality and accuracy of the AI model is currently a bit hit-or-miss. End of disclaimer.
This is pretty much exactly what I said?
The reason I used FORTH to code ChipWits in 84 was twofold. First, it allowed me to develop natively on the 128k Mac rather than buying an outrageously expensive Lisa. Second, I knew I was going to port it to other micros and FORTH was usually one of the first languages implemented on new computers. I eventually ported it to Apple II and C64 and about 70% of the Mac code was easily portable.
His 'modicum of expertise' amounts to him having read Cass Review that the SciAm article was critiquing, which was something the SciAm contributor had clearly not done. Since the Cass Review was saying "WPATH and AAP guidelines are flawed and here's why" and the SciAm response was "Cass Review doesn't comport with WPATH and AAP guidelines"

So yes, I'll consider the analysis of someone who has read the document in question, over the hack who didn't even read or get it and just wants to parrot the Progressive Dogma by denouncing everything they disagree with, using appeals to authority (WPATH and AAP).
If you are replacing a performant property with a slow network call, you are being negligent if you aren't reviewing all the callers to make sure that is okay.
No countries in Africa and Latin America would enforce the ICC arrest request for Putin.

That's your straight-up speculation.

Meanwhile, the fact that he hasn't visited any of those countries -- suggests he knows better.
but it's also very extendable. It's ability to slap on new control structures and DSL's is on par with Lisp. I'd say it's very low level and much higher level than the most languages simultaneously.
> OpenAI researchers are proud of the work that they do.

Well, the failed revolution from last year combined with the non-profit bait-and-switch pretty much conclusively proved that OpenAI researchers are in it for the money first and foremost, and pride has a dollar value.
Timing attacks are such a pernicious idea.

You look at the code and see that there's an auth check in place, you test the code to verify that the auth check has no bugs, you make sure that information is never shared with people who don't have authorization to access it, and yet it turns out it can be accessed as if there was no auth check at all.

To make matters worse, everything can be fine for some time, and then some clever optimization in the CPU, the compiler, cache layer or the database engine introduces a completely unexpected side channel.

> But on weekends he needs to be able to lug the kids around in their giant baby seats, strollers, etc.

Sure, but Dad doesn't need 3,000lbs of payload capacity and a 6ft+ bed and wheel spacers and an extra lift kit to carry a stroller.

I've got two kids and a two-child stroller. There's more than enough space in something the size of a Mach E or a Model 3/Y to have multiple kids in car seats and all their stuff.

In the end pretty much all of that could have fit in my old Accord as well.
I think it's a bit hyperbolic to characterize limiting car speeds to, say, 150 or 170 km/h, as a serious curtailment of our civilization's fundamental freedoms.
what else do you think about when prompting, which you've found to be useful?
You're right! Looks like I picked a misread the latency and picked a bad example.

Best wireless mechanical is: https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/asus/rog-falchion-rx... (1.7ms @ 1kHz)

Best wired mechanical would be the Corsair Air 100 I linked at 0.8ms, tied with a Field75 which is also wired.
Yes, but not in the way you're implying. Safety measures don't exist in a vacuum, they exist in a whole system of other similar safety measures. In aggregate, this system of safety measures does slow science down (or anything else). One might argue that it's worth it to slow down output for the sake of safety, but I don't think one can reasonably argue that output doesn't slow down.
Generally good advice, however I think the actual example phrases could still be clarified, e.g. bg explaining why clear estimates in software engineering are not as common as in other fields — note the person you are talking to might have a completely different experience in their field of work. And then you give your buest guess and a clear explaination of your level of confidence, which factors could lead to shorter or longer project durations.
There must be some difference, as otherwise my washing machine would be a computer too since it has a screen, input, and an operating system; and conversely that the Windows phone wouldn’t have had such a brief existence.

Part of the subtext seems to be that constructing these turbines was a greenwashing campaign on Chevron's part. This kind of project helps to bolster the naive impression that these are "energy companies", as one commenter alluded, not just "oil companies". So in a sense these turbines have fulfilled their purpose.

Even more insidiously, the fact that the wind farm is now sitting idle achieves oil companies' secondary goal of making green energy look bad and unreliable. Thus keeping people divided on whether to support other green power initiatives and allowing our reliance on oil to continue. Profits protected.

I don't think I'm giving them too much credit.
Yes, it wouldn’t. You haven’t provided any evidence to refute that.
Yeah, that's what I was kind of getting at. It looks like it starts low level, but it seems like it allows effectively an infinite amount of abstraction.
Super interesting (although it also makes some sense that experts would focus on "likely" subsets given how the number of permutations of chess games is too high for it to be feasible to learn them all)! That said, I still imagine that even most intermediate chess players would perfectly make only _legal_ moves in weird positions, even if they're low quality.
You're really going to hate it when you learn about JSON Web Tokens, which exist exactly to hack past this sort of problem.
And yet the html5 syntax variation survived (with all it's weird now-codified quirks), and the simpler, stricter xhtml died out. I'm not disagreeing with out; it's just that being flexible, even if it's bad for the ecosystem is good for surviving in the ecosystem.
If you're interested in how vector calculus developed, and who was instrumental, all the way from Newton/Leibnitz to Dirac or so, by way of Hamilton, Maxwell, Einstein and others, then Robyn Arianrhod's 'Vector' is brilliant.

But be warned, it gets progressively harder, along with the concepts, so unless you're conversant with tensors, at some point you will have to put on your thinking cap.

The reviews on Goodreads – including my own – are worth reading to get a flavour: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202104095-vector
Comparison with Ukraine breaks down because Russia didn’t occupy west not because they don’t want to, but because they can’t, whereas with Israel and Gaza the power asymmetry is insane.

And yes, Gaza and West Bank are separate entities with very different realities, both in terms of day to day life and political landscape.

Israel listened to the worlds advice by retreating voluntarily(!) from Gaza, and in return has only received more criticism, of course that fuels resentment inside of Israel, rightfully so I must add. And since October 7th we can throw out all of that out of the window, past reality no longer applies and Israel is no longer letting cowardly UN dictate its demise, plain and simple.

I don’t think West Bank settlements are a good idea, but I also don’t know a way out of it now, since everything that has been done in the past year is further prove to the Jews that they need Israel. I live in Europe, and I feel significantly less safe when traveling further west(thankfully we have negligible Muslim population here in Baltics).
How well does it play modified versions of chess? eg, a modified opening board like the back row is all knights, or modified movement eg rooks can move like a queen. A human should be able to reason their way through playing a modified game, but I'd expect an LLM, if it's just parroting its training data, to suggest illegal moves, or stick to previously legal moves.
Egoless Engineering: Misery is a shitty proxy metric for results
> Court deciding earlier in a 2-1 decision that Palestine is a state, the PA is the legitimate government of Palestine, and that Gaza is territory under its jurisdiction.

I think you are overstating it. They made a provisional decision, but just for the purpose of if the investigation can go forward. The decision does not decide whether or not palestine is a state in general, and if this ever goes to trial the defendants can still challenge this decision.
Do you have any book recommendations to help understand the electrical grid and why you can’t just start pumping electricity into it? I find these type of systems fascinating.
npr article is not sourced well. somebody said something. 0 evidence. same like article about "israeli targeting ai" that was published on israeli blog without any proofs that resulted in a cheerfull israeli bashing session

i posted below a couple of "non-burner" accounts that post anti-israeli articles for an year already without bans. it includes account that posted this article. it explicitly against rules and dang banned repeatedly pro-israeli users for writing a dozen of comments. will it be hypocrisy ? bias ? editorial policy ? casual anti-semitism ?
Which part is condescending? Maybe spell that out?

From what I can see it's some pretty unbiased conclusion that's quite reflective of the truth.
Oxide is not touching DLC systems in their post even with a 100ft barge pole.

Lenovo's DLC systems use 45 degrees C water to directly cool the power supplies and the servers themselves (water goes through them) for > 97% heat transfer to water. In cooler climates, you can just pump this to your drycoolers, and in winter you can freecool them with just air convection.

Yes, the TDP doesn't go down, but cooling costs and efficiency shots up considerably, reducing POE to 1.03 levels. You can put tremendous amount of compute or GPU power in one rack, and cool them efficiently.

Every chassis handles its own power, but IIRC, all the chassis electricity is DC. and the PSUs are extremely efficient.
You were right, I did suggest adding a second agent - I edited my comment not to appear like some sort of expert.
Anthropic had a vested interest in people thinking Claude is reasoning.

However, in coding tasks I’ve been able to find it directly regurgitating Stack overflow answers (like literally a google search turns up the code).

Giving coding is supposed to be Claude’s strength, and it’s clearly just parroting web data, I’m not seeing any sort of “reasoning”.

LLM may be useful but they don’t think. They’ve already plateaued, and given the absurd energy requirements I think they will prove to be far less impactful than people think.
I appreciate the detailed answer, thanks. However, It feels like $a->foo vs $a->foo() is a personal preference that hides the fact you're doing work behind the scenes.

Then again, I'm not a fan of code that does magical things that aren't apparent. Makes it a lot harder to 1) reason about and 2) solve performance issues. I also don't want the overhead of function lookups for every property access.

The whole "The Muslims/Muslim countries won't do X, and therefore why should we?" argument is funny and depressing to me. Why won't they do X? Because maybe in your mind you think they're savages/less civilized. Less, that is, compared to you/your community's (in whatever scale: nation, race, hemisphere). But if you're saying "If they don't do X, we can behave the same", isn't that a call for you/your community to abandon your civilization and embrace the "equal" savagery?

How is it a winning argument? "In our eyes we're civilized and they're savages, and if they don't act civilized we're also free to abandon or civilized ways and act the way we condemn...".

To be honest, it's a pattern I see under every PHP thread:

(Neutral) PHP news -> PHP bad -> PHP not bad

How much say do individual researchers even have in this move?

And how does that prove anything about their motivations "first and foremost"? They could be in it because they like the work itself, and secondary concerns like open or not don't matter to them. There's basically infinite interpretations of their motivations.
Yes, it seems ripe for quasi-archaelogical investigations. One tidbit that I couldn't believe was that Julian Assange had written an early version of Windmove, or an addition to an early version, or something along those lines.

I've nosed through some of the elisp files for the games - little goldmines everywhere in there.
Bias in moderation is wrong, it's clear cut. If Dan can't be unbiased, allegedly, I thank him for his work on HN but he should step down.
Ammonia is produced when there is excess nitrogen. More carbon is needed if there is ammonia. You want to capture as much of the nitrogen as possible. Sun bleaching just bakes the ammonia off and kills the microbiota of the compost.

- smells like sewer = not enough oxygen
- smells like ammonia = not enough carbon
- smells sweet/fungal = just right

Exactly. I figured my meaning was assumed in the earlier comment.

But the details also adds to the magical element. It's not just being reckless, but being reckless with a horrible, excruciating, protracted, torture curse.

Getters are great for manipulating data on the way out. For instance, inside the class you might store a raw representation of the data like a json string, but when reading an attribute you will decode that json string into a datastructure and pluck a certain item. I use dynamic getters often to wrap a raw value with some kind of fallback: do this if no data is present, do this if the data is present but is ancient (ie a seamless upgrade of a v1 internal datastructure to a v2 output), etc. For setters, I try not to have implicit side effects but in certain cases where it makes sense, it is nice to be able to centralize that logic: "if this value changes, ensure x and y occur" which you get "for free throughout your codebase when you use a setter, versus having to go thru the entire codebase and sprinkle the do_x() and do_y() calls (which then becomes additional footprint to maintain and worry about)
All that beautiful farmland tied up to be ruined by war.

WTF is wrong with the Russian people?

One nut-ball gains power and the whole country falls down prostrate in obedience. Perhaps Lenin, Stalin, et al killed off all the independent thinkers and ended their bloodlines. Perhaps the Russian people are incapable of rising from serfdom.

What's the average IQ of Russians today? Are they smarter for going thru the war and communism or dumber? Does crisis (war, turmoil) kill off the dumb ones faster than idiotic ideologies (e.g., anti-semitism) kill off the smart ones?
Sinwar had the stolen passport of a UN employee on him. if his body couldn't have been identified, you would have been providing support for hamas claiming that Israel was shooting school teachers. You think I'm the troll?

I don't disregard civilian lives - I want the war to be over asap. but ceasefire means both sides stop firing - not just the Jews.

what I don't understand is why so many people in the west today desperately want to believe every lie told by hamas/hezbollah/Iran. do you also believe Israel fired on Italian UN soldiers in Lebanon? because it turns out it was hezbollah who fired on them.

sealioning? is that projection? why do you ignore what i already wrote?

Writing a wrapper for PDO is standard operating procedure for various good reasons.
Bear in mind that this has no bearing on the point under discussion.
You're making two arguments it seems,
1. Who is enforcing the arrest warrant against Putin, which I don't get, how should Europe or an African or Latin American country enforce the warrant enforce the warrant without Putin travelling there? I seriously doubt Putin would travel to a country where risks arrest. Or are you suggesting countries should invade Russia to arrest Putin. I don't see anyone including the US (thankfully) doing that. AFAIK that would also constitute a violation of international law (mind you many western countries really only care as long as it suits them, the whole Israel situation being a clear example).
2. The question if Europe could defend itself against invasion without the US. Defend against whom I have to ask, the only possible aggressor would be Russia, but Russia is struggling with their Ukraine invasion, a much smaller, less trained, less equipped force than Nato even without the US. The suggestion that Russia is in any position to threaten Europe is absolutely laughable. The only way that would happen is using nuclear weapons, and once we go down that path the whole world is f*ckd.
