I'm from Mississippi and know some small farmers but none of the big sweet potato producers. "Mississippi Sweet Potatoes" coming from the "Sweet Potato Capital of the World" has always been a strong branding in my head growing up, just being near the influence of that. It's not hard to get their wholesale but I wanted to have some orders before finding a partner.
git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge.g...

download models and all vae files for the model, put in right place, run batch file, configure correctly and then gen images using browser.
Have you given Stickies.app a try? It is designed exactly around this model (notes are never "saved" in a true sense, they just live all over your desktop, what you can do is export / import text however).

Although I'd be surprised if you haven't.
What Waymo is doing is very localized and really only suitable for self-driving taxis and not normal cars. Not clear if that would help GM to sell more cars in the short to medium term (and obviously their execs have no reason to care about anything else).
> If you could convince me that I could implement, say, S&P 500 and be cheaper, more tax effective than holding those ETFs, that would be something interesting!

The lowest-cost S&P 500 index fund currently has an expense ratio of 0.015%. Assuming similar performance (minimal tracking error) Double's fee of $12 per year would cost less for any portfolio over $80,000.
Sure, that doesn't mean a commercial entity is required to convey what he is saying.
I'm no doctor but I think it's certainly possible that consumption of the active flu virus doesn't necessarily lead to infection. There are a variety of infection vectors, some more likely than others to cause people to get sick.

Four years ago there were people rushing to wash their hands and wipe down their groceries for Covid-19, when there was evidence that the virus was transmitted through the air. And people were concentrating on all the wrong things like wiping down their tables just so they could sit in a crowded restaurant.
Nope. I am talking about both private and public schools. Go to any top tier school districts and you’re going to find these students. Just want to be clear that I am not criticizing these students. I am criticizing the OP narrative that US students are bad at math and sciences. We have the best schools period. Not even close. We churn out the best talent. Again not even close.

I actually think that's worse.

I question the emphasis on averages. Moving the average of a country as big as the USA is very hard, with questionable ROI.

The top N% in any given subject is going to drive a nation's progress. We aren't going to be putting tens of millions of Americans into jobs where their output is highly dependent on e.g. their mathematical knowledge and ability.

Isn't it time to do away with the outdated goal of training everyone to be a well-rounded unicorn, and let students meaningfully specialize before ~20-30% of their life has expired?

For a sample size of 1, I'm confident I'd be significantly more valuable economically in adulthood if I could have specialized in e.g. math at an early age, rather than spending countless hours on subjects that I had little interest in and barely use today.
No. It’s only really an issue in theory.
Certainly I'm glad we have better tools now, and know the rules. Sure beats the old days. As for verification, well I'm big into Lean 4 and it plays well with NSA since transferring theory and proofs between finite and infinite saves a lot of labor on the computer.
I have a treadmill though. Even though I don't use it. I can't get a quantum computer.
Children born after lockdowns ended came into a world massively transformed by our response to the disease. Years later it still takes a week longer than it used to for my doctor to get blood work back because they are still short staffed. Parents that used to go out more often and take their kids into the world with them do so less often because they WFH and the covid response disrupted social relationships. Many people are still to this day more isolated than before. I’m not so sure it’s possible to separate effects on the world from effects from the disease for newborns.

Covid isn’t the only viral disease that has neurological effects. Covid is probably the most thoroughly studied disease in history by a mile though. It’s possible we are just more aware of its neuro effects due to insane levels of scrutiny rather than those effects being much more significant than for other common diseases.
They closed them then re-opened them in time for one of the biggest waves of asylum/undocumented immigration in recent history, part of which incentivized bringing children (who often need ESL and cultural integration assistance) who then are entitled to attend public schools whether or not the school has been allocated the resources for such influx. Such re-allocation of finite resources to include so many students with extra integrative needs would track well with across the board drops regardless of race.

I can't imagine what it is like to be teaching 29 or 30 students and one pops in after crossing the Darien Gap, possibly witnessing people being raped and swept away by the jungle, then having to go on and go straight into learning arithmetic -- and then realize this is happening at mass scale. "What is 5 - 1?" The number of us remaining after we crossed the last stream.

Visa based immigration pathways, especially the non family linked ones, tend to display this effect less prominently since professional visas bring in people who on average paying higher property and other taxes and have had the resources to prepare their children for school in the US.

“Any process can be modeled by a Turing machine” is not the same as “Every process must be isomorphic to a Turing machine, and therefore share the same limitations.”

If I have a magic box that will instantly calculate the Nth digit of the busy beaver number of any size, that can be modeled by a Turning machine. AFAIK there is no constant time algorithm though, which is what our magic box does. So a Turing machine can’t match the performance of our magic box. But no where is it written that a Turing machine puts a an upper bound on performance!

That’s what quantum computers are. They solve certain problems faster than a classical computer can. Classical computers can solve the same problems, just more slowly.
I'm interested, can you email me (address in profile)
I talk to many people who get excited about school choice and not having the state tell them how to educate their kids and totally gloss over the fact that your taxes are not for your kids, but for those of every other taxpayer, so I think it's an important callout.

We've still got more advent articles coming, including one very special day which is actually a live stream from Randal Schwartz (Learning Perl). He'll share his "version of the story of the Schwartzian Transform". https://lu.ma/giz69577
I have no idea if Hetzner actions are justified and surely they can do better to ensure there is better customer communication. The moral of the story though is - if you're using commodity hosting and Open Source software it is relatively easy for you to find another home... assuming you had good offsite backups of course

If you're locked on some proprietary services like with AWS it is much bigger issue.
> It's Public Domain.

Is it though? The website does say "All of the code and documentation in SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain by the authors" but copyright law has no exception for "dedications" to the public domain. At best the authors are estopped from bringing suit but even that is unclear.
Nope. But feel free to add something substantial to what I said.

I have never really made bisect a part of my workflow, but something I believe would work well with just jj is making two workspaces before and after the issue, and iteratively walking their working revisions toward each other. That has the advantage of being able to run both versions simultaneously easily.

The science of routing print orders
Is it just me that finds it ironic that you're looking for software developers?
Sure. I imagine though the move to teaching to a standardized test was a result of a previous failure in education. I would guess because there was a lot of disparity between States.

I feel like education as a priority needs to be in the national zeitgeist — perhaps is not. The U.S. had it during the Cold War.

I grew up in the 70's and there were still echoes of the Space Race in the U.S. And education was fairly progressive. I even went to an "experimental school" for a year where they had open classrooms, emphasis on experimentation, new math, etc. (and this in Kansas of all places).

As an example, I remember too in the 70's when the Metric System was made a national priority. Until it suddenly was not. (And Federal Markers, like on an highway summit, that had had elevation in both feet and meters went back to just feet.)

During the Cold War, as now, engineering was where the high paying jobs were. And living the dream life in California....

I'm not sure why more kids don't aspire to that today (or why their parents don't foster it). Perhaps engineering is seen as a difficult and stressful career, and perhaps people think there are, dare I say, lazier ways to get rich?
Thanks for sharing a bit of your internal thought process on career and life decisions. It’s very interesting for me to see how people at different stages of their career think of these things.

I think this licensing fracture that’s happening across the industry is unfortunate, there’s a been a lot of broken trust. The SSPL is on the face of it more reasonable than the BSL. It clearly states that it only becomes viral when “offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program”. So it seems it should be pretty safe to use Redis as a cache or session store within a larger system. Contrast with hashicorp, which forbids use in any product they consider a competitor. But I also empathize with people who are scared of using any license that’s untested in court.

Tangential: I love Inconsolata as a terminal font (and I appreciate the “hacker” aesthetic of a monospaced blog) but perhaps consider using a body font for your longer articles. Although I’m sure most of your readers know how to change the font if they want to, one of the great things about plain HTML :)
A quick search of Hacker News brings up many warnings, presumably from engineers inside the company.

It was well-known and well-leaked that something was wrong with Cruise.
Part of the beauty of tests like PISA are that, at least in the US, nobody is teaching to the test because it doesn't have an effect on the students, the teacher, or the school. That makes it an ideal measure because it's less distorted, unlike other tests that may determine student grades & AP scores, college entrance, teacher evaluation, etc.

I believe this is generally the case worldwide, absent some gaming from places like China, who for several years submitted PISA tests only from a few of their best/richest schools (Beijing, Shanghai, HK) as a way to look better internationally, which of course makes it hard to compare to other countries that are testing a broader range of schools.
How useful will that AI be if most breaking footage on social media will be generated by other AI? When the phone call is joined by 400 AI assistants instead of humans (assuming such phone calls exist at all)? When all those expense reports are also AI generated?

The main problem in the next 5 years and beyond will be filtering factual information from AI generated garbage, which is a difficult task for humans in traditional journalism. Until we solve that problem, more AI content is just adding more noise.

I bet a lot of that has to do with the fact that you cant open a new tab in a book to watch youtube or browse the web. You're stuck with whatever book you decided to open.

There are only paperbacks. By "hardcopy", they meant "printed".

I sell print editions through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. Amazon is the lion's share, so I designed the print edition based on the formats they offer. At the time I started working on it, KDP only supported soft covers. They added hard covers right as I was finishing the book, and I didn't want to have to go back and redo everything.

I have to admit that "Crafting Interpreters" is pushing the limits for what you can get away with on a soft cover. When I first started writing the book, I expected it to be (much) shorter, but I just estimated wrong.

If I had a time machine, I might go back and tell myself to print it as two separate volumes.
The obituaries are often my favourite part of the Economist. They are edited by Ann Wroe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Wroe - a true legend.

> but how many positive from improved health insurance policies? Probably thousands

how did you come to this conclusion? what if it actually gets _worse_? What if the media attention blows over, the good or neutral actors end up eating the blame, some savvy corporations/politicians with skilled PR end up using the public anger to enrich themselves & make things worse for the public, and people still don't understand why the system isn't working?

I haven't seen any good information on what actually is the root cause and what are the solutions that will fix everything. I don't think this is a matter of greedy people blocking easy/obvious solutions.
So basically this is the best kind of vuln; not exploitable remotely, and unpatchable so you will always be able to get root on your own hardware.

This is by far not enough for a resin printer. You need an enclosure and to vent out the air much faster.

That said, it doesn't have to be more expensive. I bought a 30€ inline bathroom fan, 8€ of tubing, and a 40€ cabinet from Ikea.

From there I cut a hole on the side of the cabinet, 3D print a "liner" to attach the tubing to the hole and vent it out through a 3D printed cover with a vent hole where I attached the rest of the tubing.

It is much much safer and vastly more efficient, while remaining affordable. The main advantage is that this is also suitable in an apartment without basement since the fan is much more powerful, and looks a lot better for a room which is not supposed to look like a basement.

Here's a guide I recommend: https://www.asianjoyco.com/resources-tutorials/ventilation-u...

The author here seems extremely ignorant regarding the risks of 3D printing with resin. You must wear full PPE including a respirator at all times when working with resin, even if you don't smell anything.

That the UN General Assembly endorses a document is no more valuable a signal than BRICS, the OIC or the Arab League doing so. If you want to point to a document for its moral weight better not to point to one from an organisation that has Saudi Arabia chairing its women’s rights committee.
What a great idea! Honestly probably one of the better uses of LLMs that I’ve seen. Wishing you continued success.
"The Navajo are speakers of a Na-Dené Southern Athabaskan language which they call Diné bizaad (lit. 'People's language'). The term Navajo comes from Spanish missionaries and historians who referred to the Pueblo Indians through this term, although they referred to themselves as the Diné, meaning '(the) people'."

They aren't even getting any sexual gratification from it. Just lonely little unrequited missives. Hoping and failing to make a connection and not even realizing they haven't.
At the local level, there is (almost) no modern journalism. Large media companies have swooped in and gobbled up pretty much every major newspaper, local tv news, local radio news. They've then fired the journalists and switched everything to sites that push mainly national stories mixed in with 100 clickbait marketing garbage ads.

And for national journalism, it's 90% about access journalism. Every interview is softballs, no follow up, etc. Journalists almost never press for an answer. And it's just so absurdly lazy. Rather than actually reporting or investigating anything journalists just republish press briefings.
The term "non-dom" usually means foreigners in the UK making use of the tax dodge. In that case, British banks are happy to open accounts for them, especially as they are rich.

Anyone can use AI to write code, so it's not really a differentiating skill. Having a strong understanding of how to fix and deploy the code that AI writes for you would be marketable and differentiating though. Look into SRE and CI/CD techniques if you want to expound on the demos that ChatGPT can write for you.
1) A nation's average score essentially has no relationship with the quality of its research institutions - only the top 1-5% matter - and that top 5% might just happen to contain a lot of immigrants.

2) The quality of research institutions is way more than e.g. summing the horsepower of the population of the containing nation. Reputational inertia attracting top talent is a real social phenomenon with more than a trivial effect.
How is this "race war"? No one is saying people should be punished or are inferior. We're talking about why schools perform the way they do in the US, not some "war".
> I think all their reasoning is wrong, but yet they have been right. Curious what HN's opinons are.

There's no way to predict the price. Everyone who's claiming to make a prediction is just guessing.

There are a number of influential people who are heavily invested in crypto, and so long as they have the ability to keep money funneling other people's money into it, prices will continue to increase. So I think the safest guess to make is that it prices will continue to rise for a least the next few years.
This is philosophy and probably a waste of time to pursue further. Both statements can be correct depending on your point of view.

But also, English has a word for "pink". That doesn't mean pink isn't a a red hue, as is conceptually clear to everyone, regardless of linguistics. In everday speech we'll say "I want the pink shade, not the red one", but we still all know pink belongs to the hue of red.

I find it hard to believe you don't consider there to be an equivalent innate concept, called blue in English, that you understand to encompass both light blue and medium blue? That includes the sky?

And that you probably encountered this concept well before learning English, just when playing with mixing blue and white finger paints as a child?

The whole point here is this is about fundamental color concepts that stand independent of any particular language's labeling system.
