In most giant companies it is a reasonable strategy.

The critical difference is most large companies don’t need to innovate. United doesn’t design aircraft, airports, etc they compete with other huge companies in an extremely capital intensive industry and execution is what matters.

FedEx, Walmart, Bank of America, etc all need to keep up with their competitors but there’s no need to make risky bets when slow and steady brings in billions of revenue and nothing external is going to drive them out of business quickly.

Intel essentially forgot just how ruthless their industry was and got crushed.

And tutorials give you an overview of how simple/complex something is to achieve, which may be just what you need before deciding to spend more time on the rest of the documentation.

If the “Hello World” tutorial for a new language takes 3 hours and downloading 15 GBs of files before you can start, maybe you’ll look at something else.
Agree with all of this - lot of armchair experts in here but the reality is we will not know how good he was until a few years down the line
While there is criticism of MBTI, it can actually be quite useful in sparking interesting conversations about work styles and preferences. It also helps people reflect on their own tendencies/behaviors in general.

I won't pretend its perfect, but it can be a fun team-building exercise and provide common language for discussing differences.

We are working on a stealth startup which will use AI to analyze e.g. Slack messages and build out results of personality tests using methods like MBTI, so that e.g. when reaching out to someone in your workplace, you can get view a personalized overview of how to interact with that person, their behavior, how they might prefer you communicate with them, etc. Email in my bio for anyone interested, we're looking for early adopters.
It's still very common for usernames to have spaces, though.

I could not find any official English translation of the report, but Romanian can be easily translated with online tools. This link (found in the article) seems to have more technical details https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/romanias-elec...

“The Romanian intelligence agency says that the 85,000 attacks continued until November 25th, the night after the first presidential election round, and the goals ranged from gaining access to the election infrastructure and compromising it to altering election information for the public and denying access to the systems.

SRI notes in the declassified report that the threat actor tried to breach the systems by exploiting SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities from devices in more than 33 countries.

The agency is also warning that Romania's election infrastructure is still affected by vulnerabilities that could be exploited to move laterally on the network and establish persistence.”
The US spends over 17% of GDP on healthcare while comparable countries are around 8%. There are some ways we could reduce that but at the end of the day americans consume a lot of healthcare and americans get paid a lot to provide health care so any solution is going to have cost related problems. Because theres so much money involved there are tons of special interests which makes it politically extremely difficult to change anything. Two of the most obvious things we should do are pay less for pharmaceuticals and increase the number of doctors but the pharma lobby and AMA make that impossible.

It's interesting that these are only actionable threats when they apply to [insert foreign boogeyman here].

That is, there's been lots of lip service paid about misinformation and privacy violations on/by U.S. companies. But it feels like the only meaningful action is being taken when it's some hypothetical foreign adversary. The further away they are, the more insidious.

I've always felt the most tangible threat is in my backyard, instead of on the other side of the planet.
If it was just a 'basic murder' why the resources being used to solve it?

Honestly, I don’t see the point of VPNs. They seem almost exclusively useful for criminals. I wouldn’t mind if they were outright banned.

I always tell people to just use WireGuard instead, it’s better and more straightforward.
Does MBTI ever really say that the distributions are supposed to be bimodal? My impression was that it's not quantitatively rigorous enough to say that it makes that claim, but I could be wrong.

The article is interesting, but I feel somewhat conflicted re "explaining motivations behind scientific discoveries". The author of the article is trying hard to find simple and elegant examples of applications (eg the optimal orange stacking in a grocery store), but imho makes a disservice, as mathematics ends up looking like a walk in the park taken by complete lunatics that were carried away thinking about stacked oranges. When I was a kid, there were some science fair-esq events / electives for high school kids including sections on mathematics. By stripping off all the mind-twisting weirdness and complexity of the real math to make problems "more approachable" to students, they also stripped them of all the mystery and a sense of discovery that I self-discovered and fell in love with much later during my undergrad.

Tdlr if we want to get people excited about math, we should not strive to erase all the complexity and ambiguity, making it fully digestible, because otherwise all that's left are a bunch of lunatics arguing over stacking oranges (prove me wrong).
UPS batteries tend to have lead acid batteries, and the lifespan on those is generally between 3-5 years. Lithium batteries in laptops _can_ last quite a bit longer if made well and under the right care.

Does not like my VPN / AdBlocker, getting a few CORS errors connecting to the Amazon S3. If you really want people to use the site would recommend proxying the request through the server. If you are already running a node.js server straightforward to do, if not still a huge leap but would also want to configure Caddy (NGINX) [or run on the same server and block the port] to run the proxy locally and forward only your requests so it does not get abused.

A lot of the audience here is running AdBlock and / or VPN so others are most likely to hit the same issue.
I think it’s safe to say the vast majority of sci-fi artists are mediocore, but it’s not obvious since most shows/movies/games nowadays are also very far from hard sci-fi, where things like armor plausability would actually matter.
Blocking? You can't outsmart politicians using technology.
That is what brave is doing. If we are going down this getting money for ads road, then let's just pick the lesser of all evils.

Its a give and take. If you allow for anything beyond latin, then you have to accept that there will be a class of software that will be difficult to interact with.

Latin-like language system is simply superior for machine purposes. I am sorry, but I don't even want to think of supporting the entire unicode in my software. I am not going to even attempt to reverse that emoji.
> It's an indictment of the capitalist system.

Do you have any evidence, that any other system, has demonstrated historical immunity to this problem? Last I checked, the Soviet system put some awfully unqualified people in charge of nuclear plants, and we know how that went. Last I checked, China put some awfully unqualified people in charge of the housing market, and we know how that's going.

The correct response is that unqualified people in positions of power has plagued every social structure. Arguably, alternative systems have failed in this regard to even worse degrees, with far more catastrophic outcomes.
Was it used by China, by the candidate, or by romainians? The national security arguments about speech on tiktok always avoid this question.

This is just pure assumption from my part, I know nothing about this. But extrapolating from your point:

> It may be important for spacing out sections of DNA

Is it possible that there IS selection pressure for unread DNA? I could imagine that cells with comparatively huge chromosomes last a bit longer, since you'd hope that some percentage of those pairs are just cannon fodder for the usual mutagenic sources. (energy, viruses, being a European king, etc) Like you can either make the bullseye on the target smaller, or spread out the points across the whole face of the target.

Again, no idea what I'm talking about, but maybe the researchers here are seeing a breakdown in the "control characters" around these parts? Maybe there's a sort of null start/null terminate at both ends in the "real" DNA, and when it breaks down, these unintended sacrificial spacers get parsed.

Why do you think that choosing an SPA hurts my users? If I'm selling a service, it's in my best interest to give my users the best service possible; it's entirely possible to write accessible SPAs with great UX, as it's entirely possible to do that with server-rendered applications (and vice-versa). If I'm not selling a service and I'm prototyping or giving something away for free, I obviously tend to give more importance to my DX and time - if it means a worse experience for users because I'm cutting corners, so be it. They're still getting stuff for free.

Additionally, there is an entire class of web apps that I wouldn't have written if they weren't SPAs. The luxury of uploading some files for free to an industry-grade CDN and using a ready-made backend of which I'm not the admin on its free tier allows me to write stuff that I wouldn't have even started if I had to rent a machine and spawn a server somewhere, with all the admin / maintenance costs attached.

Of course there is a class of people who don't want to run Javascript on their devices. I understand that and I respect that. I might be one of them in certain cases. But unless I'm writing life-saving software or I'm running a monopoly (which is generally not the case), their importance in my audience will be evaluated on a cost/benefit basis.
Or you could just go look this up. Ranking of life expectancy asks the question of what causes contribute the most to the life expectancy shortfall between the US and the countries ahead of us on the rankings. The mix of contributions is different depending on which country (Australia looks more like us than France), but across the board the most consistent major factors are homicide, firearms, motor vehicle accidents, and drug overdoses. No matter what country you look at, those are the ones that are always distinctively different here.
IMHO title of the blog post sabotages visibility when posted in places like HN.

It would be better if it contained some details on what is new, like "Native Flags (RISC-V, ARM), Strong Memory Emulation".
>the onus is on you to show that it was somehow important

What? Like ... not at all? Onus does not get assigned "by default" due the nature of things, lol. The onus falls on whoever comes up to propose an hypothesis.

In this case that hypothesis is "all other DNA/RNA is junk", well, then "prove that thing is true", which is unfeasible and hence why one could not assert such thing.
Same issue need to turn off VPN / AdBlock....
There's quite a large difference between us all knowing something and it being proven to a degree to make a national level decision on it.
FAA through the National Academies did a research study a few years ago [1] to provide guidance on improving the intelligibility of PA systems and also improving the overall acoustics of airport terminals. The idea is that this guidance would be used for terminal renovations and new construction. It looks like they may have put this to use! (I was on the team but not an author of the final report).

HPE Walks Away from Risky $700M AI Deal
> users set up vpn

You'll lose most audience to a competitor that doesn't require VPN at this step.
I have ChatGPT ($20/month tier) and Claude and I absolutely see this use case. Claude is great but I love long threads where I can have it help me with a series of related problems over the course of a day. I'm rarely doing a one-shot. Hitting the limits is super frustrating.

So I understand the unlimited use case and honestly am considering shelling out for the o1 unlimited tier, if o1 is useful enough.

A theoretical app subscription for $200/month feels expensive. Having the equivalent a smart employee work beside me all day for $200/month feels like a deal.
I think it would be really useful to have a “Why Not?” section for each option as well.

Some of these feel like tradeoffs and setting them blindly without understanding the downsides seems incorrect.
Yes, although the use of the label AI comes and goes as people get their hope up that a particular type of solution (e.g. various GOFAI approaches) is the answer, until it proves not to be, when the technologies go back to being called by their descriptive name (general problem solver, expert system, etc).

There was certainly a time when ANNs were widely just considered as part of ML, then rebranded as "deep learning", before the "AI" label was slapped on anything ANN-related. I guess it makes sense that an AI degree, encompassing many prior/current approaches might use that as a catch-all term for the field as opposed to any specific technology.
A good UPS will perform regular load tests to gauge battery performance/degradation. They switch over to battery power around once a week and measure voltage before, during, and after. So even if the power goes out, they are still being exercised _somewhat_.
Yes but you can pick up an infection while immunocompromised that kills you even after you remove the graft and stop the immunosuppressant drugs, or before you have a chance to do so.

> (although based on musl, instead of usual glibc)

For those who never used musl and Alpine Linux (which PostmarketOS is based on), the list of supported architectures and software ported over is quite large; here's a list:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages

Alpine is my distro of choice for very small systems and VMs once I make sure there are no compatibility issues with what I need to install/build, which can happen sometimes but is really rare. The amount of saved resources (CPU, storage) is significant, making it ideal for VMs.
In my view, the ads themselves are only slightly evil since they are designed to influence you subtly (well, sometimes subtly) into paying for something you probably don't want. Not a big deal, I have shields in place for that mentally. I wouldn't hate them so much if they didn't try to track you around the web and didn't sell your info to anyone with some loose change in their pockets.

I never hated ads when we had full-page ads in magazines and you had to skip multiple pages of ads to get to the actual articles. But selling my data makes them too much money, so I do my best to never have them load on the internet.

It is. I find Big 5/OCEAN to be both more scientifically validated and more intuitive to use, as all Big 5 traits exist on a spectrum. It's much easier to understand what it means when someone says they're in the 25th percentile for extraversion (that is, 75% of people are more extraverted than you), and tease out what implications that trait has, than for them to say, "I'm an INTJ" and you need to know not only those 4 traits, but the "cognitive functions" beneath them and how they interact with each other.
Extroverts make external connections, connecting people to people or people to problems, building a social graph for getting things done.

Introverts connect internally, connecting ideas to problems, finding patterns in solutions, building a complex model of how processes work and reasoning about how certain actions affect their outcomes.
CUDA has support for complex numbers and some NVIDIA frameworks use and expose it (https://nvidia.github.io/cccl/thrust/api/structthrust_1_1com...).

For Rust GPU, nothing built in but there are libraries like https://github.com/rust-num/num-complex that support `no_std` and should work on the GPU. I've never used them so I don't know what (if any) the perf hit would be.
Likewise. My last name contains a non-ascii character. In ~2009 I started at a company whose admin conveniently set up an account for me on their Ubuntu server... on which no-one could then log in locally because the login manager crashed when trying to display the list of users. I logged in via ssh and changed my name to the nearest ASCII equivalent.

I always feel slightly worried on sites that demand that I give my full legal name (such as the US ESTA form), and then refuse to handle it because it includes "illegal" characters.
TikTok needs to be banned. It is a tool the Chinese are using very effectively and when paired with Russian efforts to undermine Western Democracies, it is creating mayhem in the systems we have grown to trust. There is an all-out war on the EU in an attempt to destroy the Union and drive out American relationships for China and Russia to take over quietly. Brussels is sleeping while the nightmare continues....
Oracle enterprise database actually has a retail license cost of $47,500 per cpu core. On x86, there is a two-for-one license discount.

Turn Android Phone to Batteryless Home Server
Allowing a user to bring their own key to a backing LLM over-complicates the product for the developer. Now, instead of managing your account with them, they also have to manage your account with the LLM provider, and they will be restricted by the limits of that account. They can't take advantage of any economy of scale by using their own keys and accounts. It's a huge mess and security nightmare to hold keys for other users and usually not worth it, unless that itself is your business.
I should start by saying that we love Nango & Airbyte, rely on Nango for certain oAuth flows, and support Airbyte as a Connector! I'd say the main high-level differences are:

1. We're built for self-hosting / single-tenant mode and focus on customers with this need. Our data plane runs in a Cloudflare worker on our customer's Cloudflare account, so we never get access to the data.

2. Airbyte is mainly focused on internal ETL data movement. Nango also syncs data into their app DB while we enable you to plug in your DB to collocate it with your app data for easier joins.

3. We'd like to think that OpenInt sits at a higher level than a regular iPaaS as we replace the glue code you'd have to write to bring in traditional unified APIs. Imagine being able to plug in and use both a Plaid and a Yodlee with a unified UI/API. Let them focus on what they do best.
