Lol, also rep. Jeff Van Drew claiming without evidence that the drones are coming from an Iranian mothership off the coast.
Nice suggestion! BoldVoice focuses on helping non-native English speakers to learn the American accent, so we tailored the accent oracle to non-native accents specifically.
If you're using human trafficking money to do something actually good, does it matter that the money was made from human trafficking?

Ah. Knowing what AA tails look like makes it look likely that the blurry triangle has blue and red in the right places.

Without context, it does appear to be a quadcopter-ish shape, but since the caption says the object was at high altitude, it fits a regular airplane well.

People live on site watching the object move should certainly know better. (Perhaps they do know, and are intentionally trolling.)
I’ve been using Gemini 1.5 Pro for coding and it’s been great.
The kind that prevented user interaction? With multiple ads? Forcing you to watch?
Since they're a Swedish company, their yearly report is public: [1]. 25% profit margin (Vinstmarginal) does sound quite nice.

Do people reach 100 by surviving, delaying, or avoiding diseases?
Unfortunately my distro is at linux version 6.8. Looking forward to trying it out someday.
There's a long history of taking the dulled down, de-risked, mitigated, and ultimately successful technologies that we've allowed to proliferate our society and say "see, no need to do dulling down, de-risking, mitigation!"

Bioweapons haven't proliferated through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Nuclear weapons aren't used through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Gangs don't rule our civilization through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Chattel slavery doesn't exist in the western world through dedicated effort to eliminate and prevent it.

Bad outcomes aren't impossible by default, and they're probably not even less likely than good outcomes. Bad outcomes are avoided through effort to avoid them!
I still feel like the root causes are not well known. Blaming sugar is the current trend, but this article talks about weight, American have a fat heavy diet as well, which is very high in calories. Sure, cutting our sugar helps you lose weight, but did sugar cause you to eat all those calories or was it fried food? Who knows?

Then there are processed foods, is that actually the culprit? Or is it really sugar?

Then some things are confusing, someone else linked to a study that showed that "lowest All-cause mortality is at a BMI of 25". Well that's verging on overweight, so people with "healthier" BMI have higher rates of death, weird.

A few days ago a study showed that sugar intake from pastries, ice creams, chocolate and candy reduced your risks of 7 cardiovascular diseases. What's going on?

I say that as someone that's normal weight. I can understand some counter-reaction being wishful thinking, or part of body positivity movements, but objectively when I look at what we know, it's still quite fuzzy.

Having said that, I would not mind over-enforcing in this case. I'd love it for portion sizes to be smaller, for processed foods to be phased out, for sugar content to be lowered in packaged and restaurant products, for deep fried foods to be less common, etc. And ideally, for what we do know is healthy, vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish, poultry, often the least refined as possible, to be both accessible, convenient and cheap.
Agreed, I have seen some sites check the email used and link the account instead of creating a new one. I much prefer this.
I see this as a dog-whistle in its most benign form. Which is why hiding behind the 'just asking questions' defense feels like expansion of the 'bad faith'.

Additionally, I don't think it's 'bad faith' to call what they're proposing like the basis for the movie Idiocracy.

The problem is that like, every version of this ends up being racist somewhere down the line. But because it's a dog-whistle my options are to engage with it, and have them hide, or to call it out for what it is, and attempt to have them explain their take and clarify their bad position to the point of not hiding behind the 'just asking questions' defense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_and_intelligence <- Someone called out this link in response to my comment. All of the old versions of this use IQ, which was primarily developed to distinguish between the intelligence of "white people" and "other people" these days we couch it in 'class' basing the assumption that 'poor' = 'stupid', and 'rich' = 'smart'. But this also tends to be a proxy for race in a lot of meaningful ways (so-called 'model minorities' being the exception that makes the rule).

Now, I can call all of that out, and admittedly I have here. But they're not going to stake out their position if I do. They're going to run and hide because I've said the scary things that let them know they're in the wrong and that they should pretend like they weren't dog-whistling.

Admittedly over topics that aren't dog-whistles I appreciate the appeal to: https://xkcd.com/386/ But this reads like a dog-whistle to me.
No one in Ukraine is in the habit of shooting down commercial airliners and helicopters, though.

The Onion should be investigated for making a false bid for which they never had the money for.

>Jones' attorney Ben Broocks told Lopez at a hearing on Monday that the Onion only put up half as much cash as the $3.5 million offer from First American United Companies but boosted its bid with "smoke and mirrors" calculations.
To steelman the author's argument and as someone who's debated about this a lot with myself, what's your perspective on the argument that goes like this: "helping those who protect us" would be fine if that's all that those-who-protect-us did; but in addition, they go start unnecessary wars in foreign lands, kill innocent people, surveil their own population etc. Because they far overstep the reasonable bounds of keeping peace and defending the country, and because the "help" I'm giving them will go directly to that extra stuff that I abhor, I can't in good conscience help them. Would that argument help you to see eye-to-eye?
No, at least not with current stack. Each hop adds big overhead
Interesting that it actually guessed as the neighbouring country. I live close to the border but have never interacted with the people across. Wonder if there might be similarities in tone and inflection.
That is an interesting question. I am curious to know too.

If I were guessing, I would think their conference would skew towards tech professionals. Their articles show up on news aggregator apps, like google news, that probably brings in a ton of non-tech or tech adjacent people.

I think its really hard to cultivate a good comment section. Its pretty low effort to make off hand emotive comments ("this is bad and you should feel bad" kind of comments). Negative engagement is the most engaging engagement, so any reaction to that can encourage that behavior.

I think through social norms that get reinforced with moderation helps discourage some of that. That leaves room for people to ask questions and create discussion about the ideas in the article.

This is an example of a comment thread on the verge that I thought was interesting. If you view the full discussion you will find a bunch of uninteresting emotive comments as well.

In his defense, he is a Cold War relic.
A for-profit corporation will have financial incentive to screw over people when they're already down. This is why I don't understand why we don't have more mutual health insurance companies or not-for-profit corporations for health care insurance.
I don't know if Neal has found the merit yet, but Automattic seems to be losing their company lawyers at a pace of one per week since a couple of months ago. That seems a pretty good indicator of where the legal department of the company sees things going towards.
The audience survey I ran indicated that almost 50% of the listeners discovered The Program through RQ Network (most of them probably through the two feed drops on The Magnus Archives, their flagship show).
That sounds like what every person pretending to be rich but isn't as rich as they claim to be, says.
There is more evidence here than just pictures from this one article.

The pentagon, for example, just declared that they do not know what they are[1]. Among many other credible sources.

Well let me tell you about the pretty high-end and expensive L40 that shipped with PCIe-4.0 to my utter dismay and disgust. Only the H100 had 5.0 although I could already saturate 4.0 (and 5.0) with Mellanox NICs and GPU/StorageDirect. Waiting for the next one to maybe get 5.0.
I don't follow. Why is the data they are getting from this better than the billions of hours of captioned voice data available from youtube/tiktok/instagram/whatever?
> So I think it's overly dismissive to regard LLMs as mere surface statistics.

It's literally what they are though.

Yes those probabilities embed human knowledge but that doesn't mean that the LLM itself is intelligent. It's why every LLM today fails at anything that isn't centred around rote learning.
Ukraine's capabilities in that domain are plausibly far more advanced that America's.

Also - costs, casualties, & collateral damage may be far more acceptable in an active war zone, and against drones which are busy killing people & destroying valuables whenever they are not shot down.
How is this easier than OSX-KVM? I can't imagine how proxmox is easier (or better for most use-cases I can think of) than qemu.

EDIT: Script just immediately tries to apt-get stuff. Nah. Oh lord and then helps itself to editting your apt sources. (All just to get git? How odd.) Before downloading another un-tagged/un-versioned link and excuting it. Nah nah nah.
Cloud storage before all the major cloud players were even a thing, for starters?
Some of these problems (esp. Facebook's) look like someone used an existing service framework to code OAuth2, and either didn't or couldn't adjust the framework to conform to spec.

Some of the other problems look like a common problem with scripting—the ease of treating an int like a string, and vice-versa.

"This isn’t about being spec-compliant anymore. I need to know the thought process behind this decision."

May not be a thought process, just a rush to get the service into production, and a lack of attention to detail. Lots of coders treat error-handling as a hassle or optional, hence the 80-20 rule.
Always review scripts before running, regardless of origin, Github isn't always safe.

The domain redirects to github due to the changing commit hash raw URL.

You also have to cross-check the 4 kexts checksum with the origin in the OpenCore ISO, including binaries in other projects like OSX-KVM. Thankfully there are no binaries that require reproducible build setup.
I'm happy with my mix of Urdu + English accent, I got an 80% on Urdu which seems about right. I am impressed by this and now I'd like to hear others and how well it matches their voice. Although, I don't need coaching or anything to remove my accent, it makes me me.
I created a site (https://zwemindex.nl) with all the pools and open water places in The Netherlands (it's in Dutch). It started off with the idea that I wanted to do a places search but without Google Places. I learned about GIS, build a lookup array with placenames, slugs and latlon. Just simple PHP and autocomplete.js.

I started out with some Open Data from the Dutch governent on all open water swimpots. I thought the current site (still is) not user-friendly on mobile. I also added all the public pools.

I got some traction because I got interviewed as an example project and I reached out to news sites.

Actually my backend is a Google sheet, which I sync to MongoDB (works nice with geo). Did a write up on that: https://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/web/import-csv-in-mongo...

Rest is all vanilla PHP, cached to HTML, Bulma css. Running on shared hosting, with Cloudflare cache in front.

I really worked on accessibility too, allowing keyboard navigation (press TAB) and making sure everything is readable and with good contrast (Bulma 2.0 fixed that).

I make about $500 with some affiliate links (waterparks with hotels, wellness) which really fit with the search intent of the user. The last thing I want is stuffing the site full with Google ads.
For the longest time, I've wanted something like a scaled-down RunDeck. RunDeck does the job, but it's really for larger "enterprisey" orgs. It's written in Java, so takes GB of memory to run and the overall UX is pretty clunky. It always seemed to me like there should be something in the middle between cron jobs and full-fledged enterprise job runners.

This looks nice, and I certainly like the idea of just gluing together existing components to get the solution you want. I haven't used Grafana in a while, does it have it way to define a button or link to run a job on-demand?
Knowledge is distinct from intelligence.

You can predict better and better with simply more knowledge i.e. data.

Where did you get this from? You know how passwords are matched right?
But then you'd still need to figure out in what timezone those coordinates are to know when it is/was, so you made the problem even more complex. Unless you're suggesting we get rid of timezones in general, in which case it would be the same time everywhere and we don't need anything for disambiguation, i.e. we can get rid of the coordinates.

Inb4 that other blog post that explains why getting rid of timezones is troublesome in everyday life.
AAL578 flew by Tom's River (Bay Shore area, where the photos were taken) around 20:43 on December 8th which is right when the photos were taking, on a heading that would result in an observing on the ground looking at the port side of the aircraft, just as seen in the picture.
There is no such thing as artificial forms of RF. They're all wiggling photons.

If nature gave us a flute, and man discovered how to make a bass guitar, all though they sound different the only real difference is that the bass guitar is wiggling air molecules more slowly than a flute would. There is zero, nil, no distinction whatsoever between a "natural" and "synthetic" photon wiggling at a given frequency.

> you are much less likely to get sunburn if you get plenty of natural (or artificial) infrared.

I'm gonna need to see a source for that.
Yeah I’m a tech artist— I definitely see the commercial appeal and as someone that traversed a pretty smooth gradient from dev to design over a couple of years, I’m very familiar with what the majority of developers think about designers.

But it’s really hard to overstate just how badly these takes misunderstand art as an entity. So much “as a super brain genius developer, I know that true art is [glib definition that excludes nearly all artists] so any true artist must think X about AI, so if you don’t think that, you’re not a true artist and I can feel good about ignoring any reasonable ethical business boundaries.”

I don't think the trump admin really cared one way or another about a bankruptcy judge.

FWIW, Lopez has the credentials for the job. [1] He was a bankruptcy lawyer and teacher for years before being appointed as a judge.

I say this as someone not a fan of his rulings. I think the "he was a Trump appointee" critiques are misplaced. He's simply isn't good as a judge which, arguably, is a pretty different skillset from being a lawyer.

Show HN: EmbedAnything – Rust Powered Inference, Ingestion and Indexing
EmbedAnything is a minimalist, highly performant, lightning-fast, lightweight, multisource, multimodal, and local embedding pipeline built in Rust. Whether you're working with text, images, audio, PDFs, websites, or other media, EmbedAnything streamlines the process of generating embeddings from various sources and seamlessly streaming (memory-efficient-indexing) them to a vector database. It supports dense, sparse, ONNX and late-interaction embeddings, offering flexibility for a wide range of use cases.
Anything streamed could also be delived as physical media at marginal extra cost, indeed for those that want it and can afford these few extra bucks. Actually on a lifetime basis and taking into account multiple viewings within family etc. it may even be advantageous. One can think many other use cases where having the media locally makes a difference. You are saying "it doesn't apply to me", which is fine, but it is hard to understand how not having an extra option is somehow better for everybody.

Good news: in the car market, almost everyone follows 'reuse' and 'repair'. Not many people take a car and crush it for recycled parts unless it's truly worthless or super old. They sell it to someone else. For the type of person who buys a new car every 3-4 years, you are selling that car to someone else who will continue using it, likely replacing their less efficient car with yours.

This is unlike most other consumer goods which tend to be scrapped much earlier. If you're scrapping a car before its ~10-15 years old, chances are there's either something quite wrong with it, or you just drove it way too much and its gonna fall apart (i.e., something wrong with it).
I work with some of that RFID/Tolling equipment and I can tell you this would be very bad news for a lot of industries.

What is wrong with the dioxis approach?
You could make the same argument about any piece of software or tool. What about the operating systems this AI is running on!?

I don't think the makers should be held accountable, but ultimately guns are made for shooting things which is naturally a pretty violent act. The gulf between them and AI is pretty wide. A closer analogy would be a sharp tools maker.
On one hand I like that feature – on the other hand it somewhat terrifies me, since it essentially delegates email verification to any of their accepted OAuth providers, unless they make you re-authenticate using your existing credentials, or redo email verification, upon linking the accounts. And not nearly all sites do.
Right. I'm looking at demonstrated competence in operating a Robotaxi service in the real world, backed by statistical data. You are looking at a video of a Waymo taxi stuck in traffic next to a video of a Tesla that is not. I have no idea how many takes were required for either of those videos. Please respond to the substance of the milestones in the links I shared - why is 100k miles per incident "the wrong stuff" ?
Easy calculated move; try explaining that shrinking of freedom to today's layperson. There are shades of this in understanding when and why to use VPNs and distributed filesharing (e.g. torrents as part of long-term archival efforts), versus easy smear campaign by those wishing to suppress it.
Actually the dango dev is saying that the whole appeal of dango is that you can swap the defaults out easily, kind of the opposite

They rejected a plea deal. That almost never happens. He was 100% guilty of some things, but they wanted to drag out the whole process for publicity rather than to actually do some semblance of 'justice'.

i think the issue many people have is that people are held responsible for things they say, their reputations take hits, their words can be held against them in a court of law, they can be fired, their peers may never take them seriously again, their wives/husbands may divorce them, etc… because words matter. yet often when someone calls out a model, it’s excused.

words have weight, it’s why we protect them so vociferously. we don’t protect them because they’re useless. we protect them because words matter, a lot.

In fact you can recreate something very similar using 4o and the right system prompt + structured outputs.

Odin does have a pretty nice "package management" story. You can literally just throw a folder with Odin files into your project structure and it "just works". The compiler sees it and includes it automatically.
