Crazy part is this researcher is a part of the Bluesky community, he thought he was giving back - this stuff is great for moderation purposes, spam rejection, crypto scam detection, and just fun "maps of supercluster" projects [0].

I'm excited for stuff like this, but the stock image of 'who we are' is a long way different then the pictures you get when you follow the link to who they are.
I don't know where you got that idea. People are leaving because they don't like Elon.
You've set the Go code to use int64 but the other faster implementations are using int32.
That's interesting, I'm getting SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP in Firefox. And ssllabs.com can't even test the site apparently.

I wonder it those those are connected somehow.
Very few people are switching to Bluesky so they don't have their data scraped for AI models. X has become a messy cesspool of spammy ads, toxic comments, and an owner intent on making it his personal echo chamber.
How else would you do lights out eye tracking for heatmap evaluation??
> Weight has no impact on sustained speed.

On a nice track, assuming a perfectly smooth surface and zero elevation change, I'm willing to accept the effect may not matter enough to care. But introduce even just a little bumpiness or some elevation change (perhaps in the track curves), and it might matter for someone pursuing the hour record.
Maybe it's just me, or I might be missing a relevant implication - but I'm having a hard time understanding why so many people have become alarmist about the fact, that things that they publish on the web, can and will be scraped?

No, in this case they are talking about consent about where their public posts are scraped to. I was quoting and replying to this part:

- "Bluesky said that it’s looking at ways to enable users to communicate their consent preferences externally, though it’s up to those parties whether they respect those preferences. The company posted: “Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings. We’re having ongoing conversations with engineers & lawyers and we hope to have more updates to share on this shortly!”.
>Bad news: Dell is posting unsigned update executables to their website labeled “critical” which then fail to install due to the good news

If I were a hacker with no access to the signing keys, I'd probably label my updates as critical too, so you would try to find a way around the update signing.
"They'll train an AI on my deeply-valuable thoughts" is the absolute least of my worries about having an account on Twitter.

It's more just about me not wanting to stay in the place I grew up after all my friends moved away, especially after a whole bunch of slightly terrible people moved in next door.
Thank you for your work on this! I wish some other large companies took privacy that seriously.
I wonder why Macs stopped using record LEDS. Seems if they are hardwired into the enable signal of the camera you would have some piece of mind.
Is ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH the effect of this cap? If so - that's a really weird approach at blocking a website.

If it's reused without much changes, why not make it available for older hardware?

If it changed enough it won't matter.
I'm not arguing a point here, but I'm curious what the actual number of instances exist where someone is naked or in some other extortionate way (accidently of course) potentially exposed from the position of their webcam. I too would be much more concerned about my microphone, where I know one had conversations that in front of or next to my machine that I wouldn't want "out there". In terms of where my camera is, I woukd imagine they would catch me picking my nose every so often but that's about it.
A huge majority of ships that trade in US ports are already foreign owned and crewed. So that isn’t an issue.

As to environment and safety the US have what is called Port State Control. The short of it is that your flag state doesn’t matter, you still have to follow US rules and be subject to US inspection in national waters.

The Jones act only applies to voyages with no international component, which is vanishingly few trips these days. Part of that is the jones act, but the other part of that is that there just isn’t much reason to ship between US ports. There isn’t a ton of goods that need to get between LA and Seattle, say.
The gcal tz picker truly is atrocious and I fail to understand how it has gone for so long without being improved.

I think I do not have a good mental model of how work is prioritised, done and shipped at Google because I cannot explain the current state of that modal.

They didn’t even attempt to show causation because it would so obviously be impossible.
Replying to myself to correct the record: I fell for some low-effort propaganda here. A bit embarrassing.

Anyway, no, there is no evidence to support this claim. Based just on internet traffic, CNN alone commands 1-2 orders of magnitude larger audience. Duh.
That sounds like a definitional problem though. If a person is choosing to volunteer are they really an employee?

I general don't agree with NDAs though, so on that front we definitely agree there's an issue there. Especially for a volunteer, I would never sign an NDA when I'm volunteering my time and effort.
It seems to be mainly a reaction against AI (as opposed to scraping in-general, e.g. for a search engine).

I'm not saying it makes sense, but there is a large and growing idea of: I want my content out in the world, but I don't want companies to use it for training AIs, especially for profit.
And the best part is you can completely disregard the need to maintain backwards compatibility, because every build implies a breaking change! /s
Yes, I’ll definitely be making it as repairable as possible.

Great idea on the retro computing groups, thank you! Only problem is that a lot of the more modern high-speed components haven’t really been tested and a lot of those have a significant benefit over their older counterparts. Take the LM2576 vs the newer AP63300. You’ll waste double the power with the old chip, but the new one has only been out for five years or so, so it’s hard to know if it’ll really last - and even the old one is only from the 90s.
> Use larger diameter tubular components - Strength goes up as the cube of the diameter so unless there are geometric constraints, use larger diameter tubes with thinner walls to get a lighter structure with increased strength and stiffness.

This trend has continued -- it is very noticeable in road and mountain bikes.

But this trades off against impact resistance, aerodynamics, and the can-it-fit-between-your-legs-metric.

> Nobody but Abby and Ben care if Ben is caught admitting he cheated on Abby.

This isn't true at all, even for private citizens. Your friends, parents, children, and colleagues are all likely to care.
They may also just ban you from playing blackjack and warn you that if you're caught at the blackjack table again you're trespassed.
Indeed. The central Sydney locality of Haymarket is that in name only. Same for Wheat Road and The Goods Line. Wholesale fresh produce has all been in Homebush / Flemington for years now, barely accessible to anyone without a semi-trailer and the willingness to purchase a truckload. Shipping also long gone from the central spots of Walsh Bay / Barangaroo / Darling Harbour, all now relegated to Container City aka Port Botany.
I still don't understand your intangible mental aspects claim. That seems a nonphysical, and really nonscientific subjective evaluation. You didn't go back in time and interview the builders, so how do you know what the intangible mental aspects were? It's guesswork.

Physical size isn't necessary, and I didn't mean to clean that it was. The more fundamental connection would be labor expenditure, and directed organization. There's a bunch of old cities in the Levant that were occupied for thousands of years and which developed into very large beehive-like structures. These aren't monumental architecture in the way a smaller, but purpose-built temple or city walls would be.

The connection to 'civilization', as I understand it, is that a social organization beyond mere family units making incremental home improvements over generations is required to build monumental architecture, so it directly implies the existence of some form of societal structure to organize the work. That's what turns a 'culture' into a 'civilization.'
I'm not extremely familiar with the details of incremental parsing, but I have used Cursorless, a VSCode extension based on tree-sitter for voice controlled structured editing, and it is pretty powerful. You can use the structured editing when you want and also normal editing in between. Occasionally the parser will get things wrong and only change/take/select part of a function or what have you, but in general it's very useful, and I tend to miss it now that I am no longer voice coding much. I seem to remember that there was a similar extension for emacs (sans voice control). treemacs, or something? Anyone used that?

I feel like there's a fundamental disconnect between the hacker ethos of "everything online is fair game, let's scrape a ton of data and see what cool stuff we can do" and the more...let's say European ideas about data and privacy rights. Neither one is inherently right or wrong, but they both cannot coexist on the internet.
Or the upload to their CDN was truncated or corrupted, and the signature check worked as designed.

But let's not let an opportunity to paint Dell as some evil yet incompetent corporation slip through our fingers.
We should be encouraging small farms, hobby or not, because diversity breeds innovation and durability. We have propped up big ag too much. Subsidies, to any sector, should always trail off as size increases to encourage diversity and durability of that industry.
I don't see how enabling secure boot helps here, since UEFI is responsible for enforcing that and is compromised. I'm sure some might recommend more roots of trust and signing down and verification that starts at the chipset, but I'd recommend an alternative with less attack surface and better user control: a jumper.

However, this approach has several limitations and ethical considerations. Assigning a monetary value to人口群体可能被视为物化个人，并且可能忽视了人口群体在社会中的多方面贡献，而不仅仅是经济方面的贡献。此外，这样的计算可能会强化刻板印象或加剧社会不平等。

此外，由于数据的复杂性和可变性，这样的计算可能并不准确，而且不同群体之间的比较可能具有误导性。例如，某些群体可能在不同的生命周期阶段，或者面临不同的社会经济挑战，这些因素都可能影响他们的经济贡献。

总之，虽然从技术上可以尝试计算每个人口群体的净现值，但这种做法存在很大的争议，并且可能不是评估人口群体价值的适当方法。人口的价值应该超越单纯的经济指标，包括文化、社会和政治等多个方面的贡献。

Ask HN: What Llama model do Meta Ray Bans use?
They've recently introduced new AI features[0]. I tried them out at a Meta booth at a conference, and the marketing rep said they use Llama 2 as the model. But as far as I can see, Llama 2 has no vision capabilities (ofc theres the possibility of internal models)

Can anyone confirm what they actually use?

What did they expect? I don't know how they could make it more clear. It doesn't say "information you post will only be used by people you like". It is public.

Anybody can write like 10 lines of Python and start consuming the firehose.
This is fine content for private communications with your customer but rubs me the wrong way posted here. It doesn't read to me that your customer is being negative about Vercel in any way, so to me it feels arrogant to come here and say "well actually you can't afford us."

If you feel differently, and think it's acceptable to do so, why not instead say that on the error page? "Customer has exceeded their budget. Please add additional funds."

If you don't think such messaging is appropriate, then I'm curious why you think doing it here would be?

If you want to be truly helpful to your customer, you would consider raising or temporarily uncapping their traffic as a gesture of good will.

Thanks - I hadn't thought about that but it seems to be the main downside of this approach. The benefit of NaN-boxing is that it reassigns values that are otherwise unused - floating-point calculations will never generate NaNs with those bit patterns.

I started with this 3 part course - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-learning-in.... I think the same course is available at deeplearning.ai as well, I'm not sure, but I found coursera's format of ~5 min videos on the phone app very helpful (with speed-up options). I was a new mother and didn't have continuous hours of time back then. I could watch these videos while brushing, etc. It helped me to not quit. After a point I was hooked & baby also grew up a bit and I gradually acquired more time and energy for learning ML. :)

fastai is also amazing, but it's made of 1.5 hour videos, and is more freeflowing. By the time I even figured out where we stopped last time, my time would sometimes be up. It was very discouraging because of this. But later, once I got a little more time & some basic understanding from Andrew Ng, I was able to attempt fastai.
Copyright laws don't cease to be a thing the moment you post something on the internet. The words are still yours. If this was X/Reddit/Facebook or the like instead of Bluesky the researcher would have immediately found himself on the wrong end of a DMCA takedown request and maybe even a lawsuit.

I needed a fast response, I read about Fred Hacker and I actually saw a testimony like this about him and I decided to try him out.

As a meta note: It is really interesting watching last minute attempts to do things in a 4 year administration which thought it would have 8 years. Like splitting Chrome from Google... the next administration will probably just gut any attempts to punish these monopolists.

I ran into this exact problem when working at 500px, a photo sharing site. There was a debate about how to store the date and time of each photo. Most just went with saying to store the UTC time and converting it for display. I argued against that since it would show a New Year's Eve photo as Dec 31 or Jan 1 at any hour depending on the timezone where you were viewing it.

The best solution I came up with was to store both the location and date/time as strings! We didn't have to do math on this data, sorting is pretty much by upload timestamp or upvotes. For display, we can just display the date/time and location if available. Heck they could just specify a location and leave the date/time blank, why not?
Rolling resistance increases linearly with weight, so it does have some impact.

I have the opposite experience:

Inserting a library that wraps an existing one to add new features has been a nightmare in every statically typed language I’ve used — including times it’s virtually impossible because you’d need the underlying library to understand the wrapper type in its methods.

In Python (with duck typing), that’s a complete non-issue.

> Besides digital drawing and handwriting, there is very little you can accomplish on an iPad that you can't accomplish far more easily on a Mac.

Synth apps are superior on a multitouch screen. Whenever I try them on a Mac it's like I just have one finger. You can set up external MIDI control for apps, but the iPad is just immediate with no extra hardware. (And of course there are dozens of great, cheap synth apps for iPad.)

Games may be content consumption, but multitouch enabled games (board games, card games, rts, etc.) are great on the iPad. Also Apple actually cares about iPad gaming, while their commitment to Mac gaming is lukewarm at best.

Duolingo may also be content consumption, but I greatly prefer its web app on the iPad to the Mac version.
Moreover, a significant fraction of JS vulnerabilities are logic errors in the JIT, so even if the JIT itself is memory safe, that doesn't make the resulting code free of vulnerabilities.

Ok. Almost no impact. Worth keeping in mind we're talking about a system weight of like 180 lb vs at most 185 lb here (Merckx was ~163 lb), for a relative difference of up to 3%.
