That is not a refutation, though. Canada is fairly selective when it comes to immigrants. Europe receives whomever the people smugglers can get across the water, and the demographic difference in parameters such as literacy or sympathy to radical versions of Islam is absolutely vast.
I feel like many of the points are complaining about the parsing side of JSON. Not the format itself.
You can argue that a format is useless when "everyone" parses it "wrong" but no specification on this earth is free of that.

Using a lot of json in our API space and it working fine (so far) leads me to think that OP complains about something that does not fit their use-case.

Firing people for choosing something that does not fit "your" use-case seems like a wild take.

Interesting reading the actual report. How strongly Ireland and England preform in Maths vs the Scandinavian countries
Because we all have our pet-theories as to why this is all happening. I don't think it's us trying to rationalize it away or divert blame from ourselves, but rather just us applying our own worldview and internal problem-solving heuristics onto an "unexplained" or "emergent" property of a complex system.

I personally don't think we need to even try figure out the cause. We just need to not lower the standards for entry into subsequent grades, highschool and college, and the problem will fix itself without us figuring out "why" it's happening at all.
I’d rather take vibes based than some artificial productivity measure.
“Far from perfect” is laughable- they aren’t even close to measure anything that is rooted in reality.

I would argue that all productivity metrics are even more vibes based than just going after vibes.
I don't think "discriminating" is a good term here. If the case was "you do the same amount of work for the same amount of money as our foreign workers, but we don't like the color of your skin" it is one thing. But if the case is "we don't like you because you do less work than our foreign workers and ask more money for it and on top of that you don't want to move into the office", it is a completely different thing.
It does. I read it thinking one thing and then was pleasantly surprised by the content.

As someone familiar with both Descartes and Boltzmann, I will chime in and say that you're approaching this from an angle of contempt and defensiveness, imagining the Boltzmann brain as an inferior subset of or analogy to long-studied philosophical and metaphysical issues such as ground truth or the evil demon. Instead, I implore you to give benefit of the doubt and attempt to understand the differences.

The Boltzmann brain is not making some grand statement on ground truth or perception. It's not about intrinsics or perception at all. Boltzmann discussed how the universe, even in a state of 100% thermodynamic equilibrium, may spontaneously end up in a state of non-equilibrium, reducing entropy. The Boltzmann brain was a concept developed by others in response to this theory.

In fact, many theories are such that a Boltzmann brain actually has a higher chance of occurring than all of the billions of years of coincidences which led up to me typing this message out to you.

It's purely an argument of entropy and spontaneous symmetry breaking. The sensory and perceptive states described by the Boltzmann brain only serve to illustrate the point, and are not the main subject of the problem.

Don't forget that philosophy was the first science, and viewing people as "science-minded" (and therefore not philosophy-minded) hurts the scientific legitimacy of philosophy, and also only serves to exclude. Many scientists also have deep philosophical grounding. Many also have deep musical grounding. You yourself are exhibiting a lack of domain knowledge regarding the Boltzmann brain, filtering it through your "philosophy-minded" perspective, so maybe we can dispense with these kinds of judgements and focus on the core argument.

The world is not so black and white, and there is no false dichotomy between people who are "science-minded" and "philosophy-minded". Both follow the same exact scientific method of inquiry.

Additionally, "the same reason non-musicians might think Pachelbel's Canon in D is the best ever" comes across as a strawman. Some people might prefer that piece overall, but it's not a crime for someone to enjoy it. But relatively few probably consider it "the best ever".

But also, who cares? Why judge? I have a lot of favorite modern pieces which are technically inferior to most classical pieces. But as a musician, not just an engineer, I consider sensory evocation to be equally as important as technicality.
How is the content created and curated?
I think it comes down to the initial choice to make something open source. At that point you're well aware that big companies might use your code and profit more than you ever will. If you don't want that, don't open source and they will never use your code.

It's having your cake and eating it when you get popular by being open source and then add restrictions when you have success.

I think there should be a change to licenses where the trademark is tied to the license. You can go proprietary but you can't take back the name.

Hey all, I have been recently assigned a coding task where I have to create google image search functionality without using apis rather reverse engineer or scrape through google's approach.

Show HN: Change your website into a language learning notebook -Neonlingo
Try me: www.neonlingo.com

What is Neonlingo

Neonlingo can help you translate and learn foreign languages while viewing websites， painlessly learn English！Turning your browser into a language learning resource！

What it can bring you
Save Your Foreign Language Reading Time!And Enhance Your Foreign Language Memory!

Advantage:
Save Your Foreign Language Reading Time!
4. 【Easy UX】: NeonLingo offers a seamless experience with no unnecessary steps
5. 【highlight】：Translate once, mark across the web, and never forget translations again
6. 【Contextual Meaning】：AI selects the right word meanings for you, eliminating the need to sift through multiple definitions
Enhance Your Foreign Language Memory!
7. 【Highlight】：Highlight previously translated words to continually refresh your memory. Leverage "active recall" and the "testing effect" to accelerate learning
8. 【Foreign Language Notebook】：Collects all translated words during web browsing, allowing for proactive memorization

Why i made Neonlingo:
I made this tool for people who want to learn foreign languages.
I found that if a person has too many foreign words, maybe he/she may not want to view this page in that foreign language because that will take more time to understand.However, if he/she can persevere for a few months. Their foreign language reading level will be better.
Neonlingo is a tool to help people read foreign languages faster and easier.

Functions:
1. Use AI to translate the meaning of unfamiliar words/phrases in a sentence (see all meanings of the word/phrase at the same time).
2. Automatically mark all translated words in your browser (this feature can be turned off), and you can also customise the colour of the markers.
3. Cancels marking of marked words with a single click.
4. SUpport 29 kind of languages.
Erm I am not sure if I was understood correctly - I meant legal consequences from the perspective of redis guys on one side, and saas guys on the other side..

One simply can't admit that they both were doing a valid thing
What worked for me was doing two/three days of juice fast first. During this time you clear the colon. Once "empty" it is much easier to maintain the fast.

I usually the water fast for two/three days, and then do one day of dry fasting. If it goes really well I extend it by a day of two.

To get back to my regular diet (which is mostly "WFPB" https://www.doctorsfornutrition.org/general-public/what-is-w... ) from a dry fast, I usually take one day of fruit-only. This to gently start the GI back up.

I cannot recommend doing some fasting yourself enough. It really changed my attitude to food and "feeling hungry". I made some personal bests in sports while fasted!
> DBOS has a special @DBOS.Transaction decorator. This runs the entire step inside a Postgres transaction. This guarantees exactly-once execution for databases transactional steps.

I stopped here. I know, authors really want to chase the exactly-once dragon, but this won't scale. If the step takes a long time, it'll keep the transaction open with it for that time. The master replica has to bookkeeping that. That state has to be replicated. That will also affect MVVC further on. As your scale grows, you'll see disk usage growing and eventually swapping, replica lags, AND vacuum halting for surges. I hope your uncalled engineers have a steady supply of coffee.
It’s a RAG pipeline based on content from wikipedia and relevant websites. Getting the list of relevant places might the trickiest part of the pipeline but for this I settled with a not-perfect solution where users can manually request missing places.
Thoughts on Tailwind 4
Well, there's consistently and there's consistently.

In 2016 Waymo reported their safety drivers intervening once for every 5,100 miles driven [1] - which implies to me that 99% of journeys nobody touched the wheel or pedals.

The problem is 99% isn't enough, as there are tremendous numbers of cars out there, and a busy bit of freeway would get a disengagement per minute.

No worries! Thanks for pointing it out :)
There is additional nuance here. Not all of the MRI machines are the same.

The USA typically uses machines with higher magnetic field strength, which are more expensive but produce higher spatial resolution. These machines are based on large superconducting solenoid magnets.

In Japan, there are many MRI machines with lower magnetic field, which makes them much more affordable while still quite useful. Some of such machines even use ordinary permanent magnets, which have much lower upkeep costs compared to the large superconducting devices.
Probably a reference to when Google was widely perceived to rush out the first Gemini release, neglecting to mention it did lots of weird racist stuff.
you can see there is shift from roots in redis. original over-the-write protocol was human-redable by design. now more and more over last couple years API and instrumentation, docs, gets non-human readable at all (mix of ASCII and hex binary encoding, say in FT.SEARCH, speaking of FT.SEARCH it is barely readable even when in non-binary form...)

> US to drop an anchor kid to force naturalization

I've always wondered why the US didn't change this law (to right of blood)? The current approach was created when the US was just a colony and needed a quick injection of people.
Now it doesn't make much sense and creates a plethora of problems as I understand.
To be fair, all that does to me is highlight the inconsistency and illogicality of these archaic religious customs, which were rooted in sanitation concerns at a time when no one knew what bacteria was, but have become venerated as part of a global control mechanism by the elite.

Every good cult needs a list of low-stakes, illogical rituals, because they serve as nuclei for adherence to higher-stakes illogical beliefs and acts.

Unfortunately, science has made it increasingly difficult to justify the absolutism of many of these religious practices, and so somehow these religions skate by by saying, "oh we're just being practical and realistic" even though they continue to stray further from the dogma which defines their religious beliefs.

It shows you unequivocally that these religious institutions are more interested in maintaining power than adhering to their own belief systems.
Render Readme.org as HTML on Sourcehut
Thanks. I think that makes it much more suitable for my kid.

I like that the page is simple and clean without ads/garbage. Depending what your goals are you could call it done.

Here are some more thoughts if you keep tinkering.

- Always produce a puzzle. If the request is for a small grid and a large number of words and it doesn't work, decrease the number of words and output that. The total number of words is not that important.

- Instead of a download image, update the displayed puzzle with the new image and add a download button. The image is no longer a preview, just call it the puzzle. Perhaps add a transition/something to highlight the update.

- Add a download PDF button. Dumping the image into a PDF with PDFsharp/whatever should be pretty easy. PDF children's activities sheet keywords etc are presumably helpful.

- Add a bit of padding between the letters and the boarder.

- Add a link/qr code to the image/background/metadata to give yourself some credit.
> Because we all have our pet-theories as to why this is all happening

Not to defend anyone else's comments (which I actually haven't read through), but many of his have kids and see first-hand how poorly math is taught today.
also, lack of japanese and korean support... and non-willingness to integrate this when developers native speakers even want to and volunteer to improve it.

something is off in redis execution

Running https://minute-master.com as a side project, landed a couple of clients this year and a good pipeline of new clients for next year.

It's a board governance and minutes generation tool for fund administrators, trust companies etc. The types of firms that need to have regular meetings with directors and need those minutes formally captured.

But isn't there co-pilot for that? Yes, but no. Copilot can summarize a meeting - this is more regulatory orientated. So the agenda is set out, participants sent a pack before the meeting, and then minutes generated almost in real time to draft level of 80% accuracy. Ultimately means the process for managing and minuting a meeting is reduced from hours to minutes.

If we carry on doing well I suspect this will become more than a side project in 2025...

What I don't like about DVDs (I have a lot of them) is it's always a crapshoot if they play, or if they play for a while and halfway through the movie it sputters and hangs. The disk is pristine. Sometimes taking it out and putting it back in will get it to work, trying it in a different player will work, arggh.

With streaming, you click on it, and it plays.
I'm not in EU so I can't comment if they have a special circumstance that makes there driving test different than elsewhere in the world, but "behaving like a drunk teenager" is not a descriptor I would use.

I travel hundred miles a day on average on a mix of local and highway, but all major roads in city and suburb.

Perhaps the hactivist groups were too decentralised for them to be cohesive enough to stage properly coordinated attacks that could make any noticeable impact?

I’ve learned about some pretty impressive cyberattacks, that have made significant impact (ie, WannaCry), but they’re not usually executed by a decentralised unit of uncoordinated millennials that can’t decide unanimously on the right ideology to justify their behaviour.
You're still assuming that OP, or anyone else, has the same values as you. As I said, some people want to work on something meaningful, or see the writing on the wall and want to increase their job security. It's not about the grass being greener. And sometimes, it is greener, and the only way you find out is by trying something new.
In simple terms, if I understand quantum computing, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the big benefit is parallel computing at a massive scale whereas classical computing is serial in nature. If yes likely both method are useful. But a very useful use case for quantum computing is AI training to create the models. Currently consumes a lot of GPUs but QC has nice chance to impact such a use case. Did I get it right?

Pi is just a description used for calculating perfectly/near-perfect spheres. A sphere is nature's building block, since every point on it's surface is the same distance from the centre.

I am an experienced health entrepreneur and multi-discipline designer with a strong background in the digital health industry. My skills include Computer-Aided Design (CAD), sketching, UI/UX design, and agile management. I have designed patient-centric medical devices for glucose monitoring, and digital health products(apps/website/dashboards), as well as executed social media campaigns to promote health initiatives. My creativity and problem-solving abilities drive me to create innovative solutions that improve health outcomes.
Same, but kind of; I'm so far removed from higher up engineering stuff like quantum stuff, nuclear fusion stuff, LHC stuff, astronomy stuff, AI stuff that I just scan it, grab a coffee, raise an eyebrow and go "Interesting", then go about my day and wonder what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing at work again. Oh right, implement a component, same thing I've been doing for the past decade or so.

Thing is, I don't know how to get out without on the one side giving up my comfort zone (well paid, doable work), and on the other side gaining responsibility / being looked at as an expert in any field (that's where impostor syndrome and responsibility aversion comes in). I really need a holiday lol.
We conducted similar research earlier and successfully improved performance to a level comparable to models with 3x larger layer sizes. https://arxiv.org/html/2409.14199v3 We utilize more computational time in the latent space to achieve better performance. However, this approach introduces greater resistance compared to Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning in the token space, especially if the number of CoT rounds in the latent space exceeds 20.
I would using the term "better approximation of the data distribution" instead of "reasoning" to describe this kind of process.
