With the old mechanical linkage controls (not the newer fly-by-wire controls with a bunch of automatic stabilization) it was typical to have 20 hours before one (i.e. 20-25 year-old flight school student) could safely pick the helicopter up off the ground, hover, and set it back down. There are no younger nor much older military flight school students, so I don't know how age would affect the learning curve. The old simulators were no help with learning to hover because it was all about "feel" and the simulators could never get the feel quite right. I've never tried to pilot a drone so I can't compare with that.

I'm still in the military but transitioned to studying, doing, and teaching IT and CS stuff in my late 20s (which is how I ended up here at HN).
Cloud providers offer productized versions of Redis, so their interest in Valkey should be obvious :)

Emphasis mine.
A kind of justice that hasn't ben particularly just in the past, which is why vigilante justice isn't legal. The point is to not have citizens deciding to carry out their own idea of justice. That's for the state, which in a democratic society, we vote on, they pass laws which judges interpret and so on.

Because we can't trust everyone to deal out their own idea of justice without it turning into endless blood feuds and partisan killings. Not to mention all the lynchings and witch hunts. This doesn't even bring up the fact that most individuals don't have the resources or motivation to carry out a proper independent investigation. So then the wrong person gets hung by an angry mob, or beat to death by a family member of the victim.
FFS, it's a marketing campaign. In San Francisco. If it's posted to HN every picosecond, it's obviously working.

If you don't make AI-nonsense procurement (or investment) decisions, you aren't its target. The only utility you can provide to the ad is in sharing it. Edgy, insulting marketing is common throughout history because it's effective, both in virality and in defining an us-them dynamic, typically on a strong-weak axis. (You see it in non-advertising memes, too. Snowflakes, Karens, et cetera work because they're infuriating to some people.)

Show HN: I built a simple SEO title generator (
Hello HN,

I created a simple web app to generate SEO-optimized titles for blog posts and articles. The idea is to help content creators quickly come up with engaging, keyword-rich titles to improve organic traffic.

It’s straightforward to use: enter your keywords, and the app generates tailored suggestions in seconds.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers,

I'm not sure SOTA is at the most insightful questions yet, but those are rarely the ones that get answered at briefings anyway.

Point being that it's not "human-or" but "human-and".

A local reporter who spends their night reading summaries of the day's meetings, diving into the raw recordings where needed, and then writing prompts for tomorrow's agents doesn't sound like a terrible future.

As the quip about local journalism goes: a lot of it is sitting around at meeting #324, to pick up the one interesting tidbit.

With local news having been apple-cored revenue-wise by social media, that's now generally just not being done outside of major metros.

So I'd welcome anything that promotes more transparency and local reporting!
That is almost certainly the opinion of only a tiny loud minority. Most people who run adblockers do so to protect themselves from abusive ad practices, not all ads out of some moral reason.
Have you considered why it's called an HTTP Request?

That's what it is. A request to get sent some bytes. It's up to the web server whether or not to send the bytes.

Once it decides to do so, what I choose to do with those bytes is, broadly speaking, up to me. Copyright sets some legal restrictions there, but none of those restrictions apply to deleting some of the bytes.

Perhaps the webmaster had some ambition to make some money by sticking some bytes on my computer and using them to track me without my consent. That's for them to decide, me? I'm deleting those bytes. That monetization plan is not in my interest. Perhaps they can come up with something which I'm willing to play along with, perhaps they can't.

Generally I've found that the websites which place onerous limits such as paywalls on byte access, are not worth spending my time on. Yet somehow, the Internet remains full of useful bytes and I spend many an hour productively browsing them. It's a magical place.

Plenty of people outside the US will have experience with pre-existing conditions as a factor in health insurance.

For example many Germans will have experience with it because they have a system that has both a public and a private system. Those with high enough income (around 70k Euros) can opt out of the public system and use the private system instead. Also there are some classes of people that only can get part of their coverage from the public system and so need to buy additional coverage through the private system.

Insurers in that private system can take into account pre-existing conditions. They cannot reject an application over pre-existing conditions but they can charge higher premiums because of those conditions.

Another example is Switzerland. They have a universal healthcare system based on mandatory insurance from private health insurance companies. For that mandatory insurance pre-existing conditions are not a factor, but there is also supplemental insurance available that covers things not included in the mandatory insurance.

The supplemental providers can and do consider pre-existing conditions when deciding whether or not to provide coverage.

Because I don't. I think they're glued to tiktok, youtube shorts and they're doing their homeworks with chatGPT, while reading nothing and getting fat on McDonald's.
> The purpose of language is communication

It isn't this simple. Literacy plays an important role in information assessment and in decision making. It's strongly associated with health, success in personal finances and career path, and relationship satisfaction, to name just a few areas that have published papers readily accessible online.

To get a look at the ugly side of this, high demand religious groups are a fascinating case study. Constant circulation of repetitive cliches is a key mechanism for isolating their members and making them easier to manipulate.
>Would they block her posts if she didn't use a misleading title and thumbnail

So, the way youtube works is that every single creator is in an adversarial competition for your attention and time. More content is uploaded than can be consumed (profitably, from Youtube's point of view). Every video you watch is a "victory" for that video's creator, and a loss for many others.

Every single time youtube shows you a screen full of thumbnails, it's running a race. Whichever video you pick will be shown to more users, while the videos you don't pick get punished and downranked in the algorithm. If a Youtube creator's video is shown to enough people without getting clicked on, ie has a low clickthrough rate, it literally stops being shown to people.

Youtube will even do this to channels you have explicitly subscribed to, which they barely use as a signal for recommendations nowadays.

Every single creator has said that clickbait thumbnails have better performance than otherwise. If other creators are using clickbait thumbnails, you will be at a natural disadvantage if you do not. There are not enough users who hate clickbait to drive any sort of signal to the algorithm(s).

If you as a creator have enough videos in a row that do not do well, you will find your entire channel basically stops getting recommended.

It's entirely a tragedy of the commons problem: If every user stopped simultaneously, nobody would suffer, but any defectors would benefit, so they won't stop simultaneously.

Youtube itself could trivially stop this, but in reality they love it, because they have absolutely run tests, and clickbait thumbnails drive more engagement than normal thumbnails. This is why they provide ample tooling to creators to A/B test thumbnails, help make better clickbait etc, and zero tooling around providing viewers a way to avoid clickbait thumbnails, which would be trivial to provide as an "alternative thumbnail" setting for creators and viewers.

Sabine is literally driving herself down an anti-science echochamber though. Maybe she can't see it, but it's very clear from the outside what is happening.

There are always two sides to news -- there's the consumer-facing text/video/whatever, which AI can create. But there's also newsgathering -- the reporting, which requires shoeleather, phone calls, building relationships, etc. AI cannot do that.

Well, it is not singled out by regulation. The GDPR doesn’t even mention cookies at all. They mention any way to track users. Fingerprinting is also banned, for example.
You don't need to manage the stash or index, those are just expressed as commits, so you have fewer commands and a simpler UX, and can use universal tools like 'split' to handle cases you'd otherwise need stash/apply/switch to handle.

It supports Mercurial-like "revsets", so it is easy and flexible to query the commit graph for all kinds of information, in a user-controlled way.

Features like 'sl absorb' can do git 'fixup commits' automatically.

It supports a notion of changeset evolution, so if you have `A -> B -> C` and `A` gets merged into main, it will automatically rebase `B -> C` on top (among other things).

"isl", the "interactive sapling" GUI, is absolutely stellar and I don't think there's a faster way to do tasks like 'rebase X onto Y' or "reorder commits in stack Y" than that, even with Jujutsu.

It comes with integration for a tool named ReviewStack so you can do stacked code reviews while working on GitHub.

There is an undo command to undo your mistakes.

And, while I'm not sure this is in the Git backend today, many algorithms like getting the history of a file are O(N) in terms of file history as to the history of the whole repo (e.g. try `git log file` in gecko-dev or Linux and it is slow.)

Many of these advantages (not all) are shared with Jujutsu, to be clear.
Something still looks off, the earliest ad is from 2024-07, but the company posted more recent ads too.

I guess this is because they changed their ad’s headline from:

to:

Other companies are similarly affected, e.g. Medusa:

In Hinduism, since vedic period there are numerous references to blue. Krishna (Vishnu) is typically depicted in blue and one of his adornments is peacock feather, with shades of blue and green. Shiva's neck is blue as he swallowed poison to save his devotees and so called 'Neelakatnan' (neel-blue kanta-throat). There are also other references to blue in secular literature in Tamil and Sanskrit.
Good to see such bare metal work in HN, I feel there has been fewer this type of work nowadays.

Back to the OS architecture, AFAIK, exokernel tries to get rid of the OS overhead (context switching, abstractions, etc.) to improve performance back in 1995. But I assume with modern computers/workload, the OS overhead only takes a tiny piece. Is that the case? Are people still optimizing OS heavily for today's workload like AI/ML/servers?

It's a pleasure to see an online store implementation that doesn't use the Web or rely on some mobile app.
It definitely weakens the impact. Anyway, there's no evidence that anyone relevant is actually offended. Random commenters getting "offended" on behalf of others don't count.
Yes, that's one of the main findings from the article.

> The extent of the decline seems to be driven by the lowest performing students losing more ground, a worrying trend that predates the pandemic.

> Scores for the highest performing American fourth graders were about the same as in 2019, but the lowest performing students — those in the bottom 10% — saw their scores drop by 37 points in math and by 22 points in science compared with similar students in 2019. The lowest performing eighth graders saw their scores drop by 19 points in math. One in five U.S. eighth graders scored below the low benchmark, meaning they lacked even basic proficiency.

> This gap between high- and low-performing students started to widen before the pandemic for reasons that are unclear. Since then, other research into post-pandemic academic performance has found widening gaps across race and income, even as many middle and higher income students are doing well.

What's the point of spreading informations that are not true?
I believe there is a single person that was in Redis and works there now, at least AFAIK. And this person stopped working at Redis long time ago (and was not a core developer). So I'm not understanding who joined ValKey from Redis folks.

Everybody is working at Redis: me, Oran, Yossi, Meir, many others.

> In any case, the programming language should have little to no impact on the database performance, since the majority of the time is spent waiting on io anyway

That was true maybe 30 years ago with spinning disks and 100 mbit ethernet.
Currently, with storage easily approaching speeds of 10 GB/s and networks at 25+ Gbit/s it is quite hard to saturate local I/O in a database system. Like, you need not just a fast language (C, C++, Rust) but also be very smart about how you write code.

You're using Claude since a "couple of years". You really must be an early adopter ; )
Not sure why this is controversial. Stop hiring humans is a great slogan.
I don't think this is accurate. There is no classical computation happening here, and there is no reason you have to have "room" for the classical computation to happen. That seems to be assuming that the universe is a classical substrate and a classical algorithm has to be instantiated somewhere.

Quantum computing isn't classical computing. It isn't a Turing machine. It is a fundamentally different kind of information processing device, making use of non-classical physical phenomena.

I'm not a defender of Copenhagen, but the wave collapse interpretation has no difficulty explaining quantum computation. A quantum computer creates extremely large, complexly entangled wave functions that upon collapse result in states that can be interpreted as solutions to problems that were encoded in the sequence of operations that setup the entangled wave function. The Everett interpretation is easier to think about in my opinion, and I prefer thinking in terms of MWI when I try to make sense of these results. But it is not necessary.

Computer science is the study of universal Turing machines and their application. But Turing machines are only “universal” in the sense that they can represent any statement of mathematical logic, and that can (we believe) be used to simulate anything we can dream up. But there are intrinsic performance limitations of Turing machines, studied by algorithmic theory, which are artifacts of the Turing machine itself, not physical limitations of the universe we live in. That searching an unordered list with a serial processor takes O(n) time, for example. Grover showed that there are non-Turing machine quantum processes that could be used to perform the same computation in O(sqrt(n)) time. That doesn't mean we need to go looking for "where did that computation actually happen". That doesn't even make sense.
> “They are somewhat dystopian, but so is AI,” the CEO told the outlet, of the ads.

That is definitely not a PR-vetted response.
Fructose doesn't need insulin to be converted to glucose in the liver, but I don't think this is what you are thinking at all. Fructose isn't used by the body directly, it almost always has to be first converted to glucose first. Glucose does require insulin to be pulled into cells throughout the body. So fructose does require insulin to be used by the body for energy or to be stored into fat.

When you say insulin isn't needed for fructose it's a fundamental misunderstanding on a few different things.
