I'm friends with a meteorologist and the 15+ day forecast is the bane of their existence because you can't accurately forecast beyond a week so I would love to know how they are measuring accuracy. The article doesn't say and I know the paper is going to go over my head.
I think the US/EU distinction is the main disconnect. Anyone in the US can take a (paper) paycheck to a cashing service and, for about 2% of the value of the check, receive the cash for it. They can usually walk into the office of their landlord (or property manager) and pay in cash.

I sold an RV for nearly $10k and the buyer paid in cash.

Other than my mortgage payment, I have never paid for something via a bank transfer. Merchants take credit cards and services provided by individuals (e.g. piano teacher) take check or cash.
I'm not a christmas person. Lights are pretty and I may throw up a piece of tinsel and a reef to make it seasonal but overall not a fan of the holiday.

I went down to the cafeteria today at work and they had school children carol singers. Seven/Eight years old singing Christmas tunes. I have to say it touched me, they were really putting their hearts in to it. The warm innocent spirit of something they believed in.

I then grabbed my styrofoam tasting lunch and then fell back in to my cynical self for the rest of the day. But it's pleasant to keep memory of.
>there are a number of other high-profile license rug-pulling projects. I'm sad about that.

It also severely sets the industry back every time one of these rug pulls happens and we have to scramble to find a replacement. Sure it might drive some minor innovation, but it also wastes a ton of resources by splitting communities and leading to tons of rewrote just to get back to a place of stability.
Because my sick elderly dad needs to be in constant contact with doctors and care providers on a nearly daily basis. We can't afford to miss a phone call that may cause a delay to getting help, medication, or a procedure. Most of these offices don't use their actual numbers on outgoing calls, so it's hard to know what is a spam call or a call from another different provider or another provider's office. Unfortunately, this means I have to answer the phone for every call that comes in. These junk calls add so much stress and interruption to my life. There are at least 8-10 junk calls per day. So I'm interrupted from my full time job, or the job of caring for my father at least once an hour every single day.
Very smart the best to worst ranking. Well done!
Agreed, but want to add that anybody who is good at those skills will likely also be good at time management, and thus not be burdened by digital overconsumption. In other words, good habits breed other good habits.

American immigrants are no longer white, overwhelmingly.
Awesome! Thank you so much! Hopefully the shipment will make it before the holidays!
Tbh it seems far past time for the OSI to come out with a blessed license with well defined terminology so we can stop watching every large OS project invent their own way of combating AWS/etc
Canada is cracking down on immigration but they tend to attract higher education immigrants which even if they have a religion, they are more likely to be more secular in their day-to-day.

Also, Canada publishes numbers on this and I fed it into Excel: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=981003...

Muslims make up 10% of 2016 and later arrivals followed by 14.04% of their Non-permanent residents. Christianity, Secular and No Religion beat those numbers.

From what I understand, Sweden numbers are in 80% of immigrants are Muslim but this is all news articles and such, I'm unable to locate hard numbers.

Comparing Canada to Sweden I think is false comparison.
I think before the plan started free, but you could be charged if there was more than moderate usage/bandwidth/whatever. Now if you are on the free plan as opposed to the starter plan they'll cut you off rather than charge you money. At least that's what I understood.
I've heard great things about your stuff.
I added options for short, medium, and long words. I tested at 12x12, at that size the amount of words it's required to place needs to be around ~20 from my testing, any more and it will spend a long time attempting to generate and get no where (a future enhancement to stop after a while). What do you think now?
> the sky is blue

Not everywhere. For example, Russian has a separate word for that kind of light blue colour that you can see in the sky on a sunny day. For me, as a native Russian speaker, the sky is _not_ blue
If a company's survival is threatened by people using its open-source software, then maybe it shouldn't be open source. Open source software (to me) says I should be able use the software for any purpose, including commercial ones.
For better or worse, I think athletic participation and achievement is used[1] as a proxy for what you want. The idea is that one can prove himself through sport as a good teammate with grit, determination, toughness etc. in adversarial situations. It might be debatable, but I think that's the logic used by the institution.

And I was trying to say that what's true is the SOF community's desire for "emotional and cognitive performance under stress" above most other qualities. Like you said, one won't even get looked at without a baseline level of fitness or athleticism, but after that selection appears to be based on the outcomes of mind games and the assessment of personality traits.

[1] Officers coming out of Army ROTC, for example, get literal points for playing intercollegiate or intramural sports, and having more points gives them a better chance at getting their choice of career field. Getting an Army ROTC scholarship in the first place probably works the same way.
> The issue with sqlite's synchronous interface is leaving a thread idle while you wait for IO

That's not the only issue. waiting for the result of every read to be able to queue the next read is also an issue, particularily for a VFS that exists on a network (which is a target of theirs, they explicitly mention S3).

I'm not sure if they also are doing work on improving this, but I'm sure that theoretically many reads and writes that SQLite does do not depend on all previous reads and writes, which means you could queue many of them earlier. If your latency to storage is large, this can be a huge performance difference.
It does seem to, and can anyone credibly say they aren't out of their depth in these waters? (the sandpile thing is not original, it dates back many years). Taking the idea that the "universe is a simulation" [0], what sort of computer (or other device) could it be running on? (and how could we tell we're living in a VM?)

From the same school of thought, to simulate the path of a single particle seems it should require a device comprised of more than a single particle. Therefore, if the universe is a simulation, the simulator must have more than the number of particles in the universe.

Also the lack of a CLA (and/or copyright assignment) because many "modern" projects under the GPL ask you to waive your rights away, thus nullifying the license. Do not contribute to them if you have any self-respect.

Reciprocality over time building trust is in fact the basis of gift economies. Please read some David Graeber.
I would guess that everyday they're comparing the current weather against the forecast from 15 days ago. Not a lot of data points to be sure, but perhaps enough to have confidence of very high accuracy.
Parallel universes enter the conversation because we (non physicists) can't identify any scenario explainable with classical physics that allowed those paths to be taken in the allotted time and space.

Often it takes more than willpower and deciding to commit, especially if you have ADHD, depression, etc. You often need a strategy that directly addresses the reason you are having trouble controlling your behavior.

I say this as a person with both ADHD and depression that has a successful career as an academic scientist, and has also won as a competitive strength athlete, and been competitive bodybuilder lean at times.

Discipline and good habits are important, but are often not the full picture, especially for people that are not neurotypical. Executive function isn’t something you can just decide to have if you don’t have it… and being belittled by people that do have it and don’t understand won’t help either.

I spent a lot of my life trying to figure out why what I wanted to do in life still wasn’t happening when I felt fully committed and like I was trying 100%. Eventually I found other people struggling with the same issues and started building a toolbox of little techniques that worked for me.
I built an agentic marketplace where people create agents which get a cut of the task price if their agents take part in doing something in the chain.

Making more than $500 but it is a side project.
I fully agree that the cost of the AML/CTF should be on the government.

However a bank still needs to work out if they will risk accept customers.

For example my CRO presented to me the cost of enhanced due diligence for Delaware companies. It was cost prohibitive so I argued that we should not bank customers who are too complex for the next 12 months.
Absolutely senseless murder by a deranged human. I feel incredibly bad for the family and friends of the CEO, especially with all of the BS from Reddit/TikTok.
I’m building Sink It for Reddit (https://gosinkit.com), a Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to make Reddit usable on the web. It’s similar to RES (Reddit enhancement suite) but supports all of Reddit’s designs and is being actively developed with around 300k users, mainly on the Apple platforms.

It was built during the Reddit API shenanigans last year and is making four figures a month. 99% of the app’s feature are free with the money coming from a premium (dark mode etc) for old Reddit and donations.

Have a few high five figure/low six figure acquisition offers already but I’m afraid it’ll be turned into malware so haven’t gone through with it.
I don't know the history on that...but the Imperial Japanese Government's decision-making was frequently impaired by overconfidence.
They likely mean on any of the current era of NISQ-like devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy_intermediate-scale_quant...) like this one or quantum annealers.
This idea of there being a "game" that just magically is, while players that cannot be blamed for playing, nonsense. We need to change the system people with low individual character created for their own benefits, yes. But that's still why we have those systems in the first place, that wasn't an accident or oversight or lack of an effort of common people to try and make the world better. They fight and struggle every day, against the efforts of people the likes of which Brian Thompson played willing executive for.

> You’re also comparing an insurance CEO to nazi organizers. Reality check.

They're comparing an excuse. It would be the same correct comparison if it was about someone parking illegally. And accepting and enabling suffering and death of people for profit rather than out of fear of being shot isn't exactly better.
Will I ever be able to buy a house off Amazon?
So the entire license is just a bad faith trap? I could see it being used that way, potentially, but I don't believe that's actually Confluent's, MongoDB's, Elastic's, Hashicorp's, or Redis Labs' intent. In fact they've all explicitly stated the opposite. Are they all lying?
If I understand correctly, DNT is being deprecated in favor of a new proposal, "Global Privacy Control": https://w3c.github.io/gpc/

So instead of sending the header:

DNT: 1

Firefox will now optionally (via a different setting than was used for DNT) send:

Sec-GPC: 1

I'm unclear on why anyone thinks this is a useful change. As a website owner who previously implemented anonymization code activated in the presence of a DNT header, I guess I can add code to also look for Sec-GPC, but this feels like churn for the sake of churn.

It also feels ridiculous that Mozilla can't just send both headers if the same browser preference is checked, rather than requiring websites to look for both. I get that they want stronger promises around "Sec-GPC" than around "DNT", but the latter is a subset of the former, so why not update the client-side checkbox description, and then send both?
More fascism = less peripheral vision
Perhaps that is related to all the rationalizations of white supremacy.
> FUD and hate regarding AI tech

It's not uncertainty. It's rational analysis.

> toxic, potentially dangerous extremist

That's laughable. When I say a few harsh words against AI, you label me an extremist (a word used by the power structure to be categorically dismissive), and when a tech company uses megajoules to train an AI program that pollutes the air we breath, you call it progress. You might consider me toxic, but I consider you delusional.
Your tone is horrid.

I am having a discussion with GP, and while GP and I may disagree, we are still maintaining a civil tone with each other.

This has been a common behavior of yours. If there was block functionality or reporting functionality on HN, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

As I have told you before, stop replying to me. We do not agree and we have had heated conversations at multiple occasions.

> This is a lot of words and numbers about Anhui to skirt around the existence of Hefei

A city with an urban population of 5 million people - so only 10% of Anhui's population.

What about the other 56 million who do not live in that urban core?

If I am to use your metric, then we should treat Turkiye, Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand as developed first world countries.

> The entire point is _UNEQUAL_ development so a few 100 millions of disproportionately affluent / educated urbanites with $20000+ income can buy high value goods that would have no market if everyone was elevated to 10000 per capita doing less advanced work

Yet the median disposable income per capita of urban households in all of Anhui is $6,500 a year [0].

> The entire point is _UNEQUAL_ development

This is completely contrary to Xi's policy of Common Prosperity (something which I agree with him about, but disagree about his implementation).

A first world or "developed" country is not only a country with skyscrapers or EVs. It is a country where the bottom 10% and the top 10% can drink tap water, have similar life expectancies, similar educational indicators, have private toilets, etc.

> This is a lot of words and numbers

You mean, I shouldn't make a thesis and argument based on quantitative as well as qualitative data?

I can make an argument based on vibes and still make it solid?

I've found Glue works well within the AWS ecosystem, but definitely makes sense to use others when working with other engines. I'll have to try out some of the data lineage and quality features that were mentioned - I've mostly only used the plain metastore functionality in these
Are you sensitized by the death of thousands of people due to automated coverage deny systems he put in place?
I don't think it does, because from this paper this kind of backfeeding is apparently quite difficult to train.

I've said it before, but I think it's just something like Quiet-STaR, but simplified. They have a bunch of question answer pairs, many of which are difficult. They generate a lot of tokens from the question (let's say, 3x the length of the expected answer), summarise whatever is generated and reinforce whenever it generates the right answer.

I don't think o1 is something complicated.
All of the major C/C++ compilers are deterministic functions of their inputs. This is a pretty major property, and any regression is rapidly detected and fixed.

Optimization "timeouts" aren't done in wall time, but in something that can be deterministically counted: number of instructions, number of recurrences up a call stack or expression tree, etc.
The mississippi utilization priority is commercial traffic, which is prodominantly barge traffic for all sorts of critical bulk cargo. It's an extremely valuable waterway that can't be replaced by rail or truck. It's not about adding water, it's about dredging to maintain same water levels or building out infra to be more resilient to water level changes, in so far as Jones Act is concerned, along with Foreign Dredge Act, it limits non US ships from conducting maintainence, which precludes bidders like the Dutch who are much better / economical at maintaining water ways. The ROI is massive, but there exist lack of commitment to fix, at least with urgency that, which is in part legistlative.
You do forget that the final result is a hybrid classical-quantum computer.

And certain applications like ML and quantum chemistry do allow a 1% error rate easy.

The simulated annealing is the actual quantum chemistry, as are the direct quantum simulations in these chips. And much like any basic research, there's just no way to predict what might happen. New solid state batteries are a good guess, interesting materials, fuel cells?
Potentially also improving on the reactor designs too.

RCS is used as a benchmark because it is slower on classical by so many orders of magnitude. But it's a useful thing, literally made for chip testing, opening gates (soc) to higher yields.

Then ultimately if it's big enough, it will start cracking classically and public key encryption forcing everyone to at least vastly upsize the keys, if not use resistant encryption.
heh yeah i think we're coming up now on two generations of our brightest minds being spent on making us more isolated from each other and clicking on ads.
No difference between them and any other American. Congrats to the team.
> As someone who was a past military jet pilot and navigator, the one thing I still notice I have is an uncanny unconscious/subconscious sense of time. It's not perfect, but I rarely sleep through alarms and if I intend to wake up at a certain time, I have about an 85 percent chance of waking up, looking over at my phone, and seeing 1-2 minutes prior. If I'm going something like cooking in the kitchen, I still set timers, but often get an uncomfortable feeling of "you should go check that" that's within a minute or two.

It's interesting, I have the same ability: waking up 2-5 minutes before the alarm clock, feeling the washing machine or the oven alarm will ring in 20 seconds~2 minutes. I am rarely off and when I am it's by a huge margin. But I have no background or job or hobby history that would have helped fine tuned that. I also don't rely on it, I often set timers.
No, I meant if you need to discount or give them service gratis to smooth over an unhappy customer.

In a former life I was a support drone. Days were full of us taking calls from abusive a-holes who just wanted to get over on someone and also people who had legitimate grievances and deserved relief. We typically weren't empowered to do anything about either of them.
Mongo was AGPL until 2018. The AGPL didn’t stop Amazon from abusing the open source social contract, hence why Mongo modified the license.
The way I see it:

The reasonable things that continue happening each day in our universe would be extremely unlikely if we are just Boltzman brains. Every bit of sensible reality would be coincidental. The very continuance of that reality is an experiment constant proving the falsehood of Boltzman brains, at a rate of oh maybe millions of sigmas of confidence per second.

Now, if you believe the universe came to an initial state due to pure thermodynamic coincidence, millions of sigmas per second is laughably small compared to the chance that a whole universe outside your brain popped into existence, so Boltzman brains are the most believable thing and you should believe in them.

This completes a pretty direct argument: Believing the initial state of the universe was a thermodynamic coincidence forces you to believe in Boltzman brains, Boltzman brains force you to believe reality should collapse immediately, and reality does not collapse immediately. Therefore you simply can't believe the first assumption, that initial state of the universe was a thermodynamic coincidence.

Accepting this is often called the "Past Hypothesis". It's spoken of in deferential terms and said that it can't ever be proven... But to me this is rock-solid proof, with more sigmas of evidence than any other scientific discovery and increasing by the second! Can't we just call it the Past Theorem already?
Could exposure to stomache accid denatured viral loads vaccinate?
Most people have their bank application on their phone so you could pull it up and prove it that way.

I do agree it will likely be heavily abused like Civil Forfeiture in United States and wouldn't recommend it to Swedish but it's a democracy.
Ferroelectric Devices Could Make IoT Data Unhackable
Thanks, it looks like I had forgotten how dynamic programming works, e.g. constructing from possibly all subproblem solutions rather than just some way of breaking into some disjoint union. In this case I guess for code optimization a "subproblem" needs to be defined. I'm not sure if just breaking the code into chunks works as I was imagining. Maybe optimal substructure applies to some graph-like model of computation but not the naive assumption I made on how this would work.
Not every comment need be an article, but the internet would be better if every comment has actual justification and not just statements.

I said “prove” at first, but I should’ve said “justifies.” It’s a better word for this.

An equally plausible reason for the left not talking about immigration is that there is not a giant migrant wave as there was in the mid-2010s and the lax migration policies are already in place.
This is a spot-on description. The locked-in banality seems to be the source of fuel for many issues people are taking offense with. Housing cost too much? Oh well. Food costs too much? Oh well. Medical costs too much? Oh well, etc. etc.

There doesn't seem to be many release valves other than "accept your fate" especially when you have seemingly little control over your own fate.
Oh really? Thank you, I haven't come across individual 12v, I steered away from them originally for that reason. Have you played with GS8208? They seemed a bit too new last year for me to invest, but they look very nice!
