This effect is enshrined into the default EGA palette[1] -- you'll notice that the bit pattern sent to the monitor is always either 000xxx or 111xxx except in the case of brown, which is 010100. In any given color, the base bits (0..2) contribute 66% of the RGB channel levels, and the intensity bits (3..5) provide the other 33%.

In the case of brown, which should be an "intensity all off" color according to the pattern, the green-base bit (which strong green) is disabled and replaced with the green-intensity bit (which produces weaker green).

Without this, the default color would be #AAAA00, which has it's uses I'm sure, but in the abstract is a difficult color to love.

Show HN: Monoco – smooth squircle corners for HTML elements
I work at a design agency where UX/UI designers regularly use so-called "smooth corners", or "squircles". It happens more often now that Figma supports these natively. When handing over the designs to development, they quickly hit a roadblock, because CSS only supports regular rounded corners.

I've made a tiny tool for these exact situations. Now you can add your own corners to your own shapes in vanilla JS, React or Svelte.

> You may check out Rumble.com as a video player alternative.

Although I'm not familiar with the Rumble player, I assume your advice implies that they'd have to host their videos on Rumble as well. The main issue described in the article is about controlling what gets published on their site and what the user experience is going to be. Hosting their videos on a competitor's service is not the answer to that, as it would simply make them dependent yet on another company.

Media outlets that are large enough to need that kind of control but not large enough to host their own data are in a tough spot there.

right like Earth is like the Silicon Valley of the Universe and the rest are like South Dakota. hence we surely have technology to detect any flying object anywhere around the globe at any point in time (MH370 would like a word on this… :) )
True. Guess I’m disheartened by years of clickbait.
Async embedded rust is fantastic. Absolutely nailed it once a couple more unstable features stabilize.

Also on cortex-m, you can put an executor on each cooperative priority but also you can put an executor on the main priority. That means you have one preemptive executor for blocking tasks and a couple cooperative choices.

I should add that I saw a huge reduction in RAM usage going to Embassy from Zephyr for a couple complicated applications. (on the order of 100KiB with all the stack and buffering reductions)

Speaking of meeting people, here's a new app for managing who you might meet from people in your contacts.

Ev Williams, founder of Twitter and Medium, introduces Mozi, a new social app focused on real-world relationships. Mozi syncs with contacts (hashed so Mozi doesn't know them), keeping data up-to-date and enabling users to connect with others planning to be in the same location and choosing to let a circle know. The app aims to facilitate in-person interactions and strengthen relationships, prioritizing privacy and non-performative features.

The idea is to take the media out of social media, make it just social again. Non-performative, and non-pushy / non-discovery, for "your" people:

One of the most delightful places I’ve used Lua recently is in TurboLua, which gives the Lua VM access to all the necessary signals/pipes for writing high speed network applications, among other things. (https://turbo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

Interesting to read this, 27 years after my PhD* (theoretical physics), in which I did compare the view WITH and the view WITHOUT ‘unknowns’ causing entropy as a driver.

* My PhD was about how to treat a (quantum mechanical) system inside a cavity: a cavity with one perfect mirror and one 99.999999% perfect mirror. The (one dimensional) universe was made whole by another perfect mirror at the other side of the non-perfect mirror (in ASCII art:

[100%] —l— [100-epsilon] ——L——— [100%]

With L >> l.
The ‘whole universe’ solution was simple (using standard quantum mechanics techniques), the ‘lossy’ ‘small universe’ was not. But they needed to be the same (physically).
Thus using the exact solution for the ‘complete’ (l+L) universe and comparing it to possible ‘small’ (l) universe models in which some non-linear term accounted for loss.
The connection between how a lossy system (in which entropy exists/is a driving ‘force’) and a losless system (in which everything is conserved) is thus not a new insight;-0
Go code just keep working with minimal maintenance. The last major maintenance that was required was the addition of go.mod, and for the most part of your project was using one of the community modules systems is was a completely automated maintenance.

Go has the least maintenance of any language I’ve used(or had to maintain), save some C/Cpp projects that target libraries with essential frozen APIs.

That doesn’t mean you don’t get to keep things up to date; go wants you to run the oldest possibly written go code with the newest go compiler tool chain w/ no effort. Just upgrade go and run your 10yo code probably without any changes needed.
That's a good point. I think most people use LLMs by asking questions and receiving answers. But if you reverse the dynamic and have the LLM interview you instead, where you simply respond to its questions, you'll notice something interesting: the LLM as an interviewer is far less "smart" than it is when simply providing answers. I’ve tried it myself, and the interview felt more like interacting with ELIZA [1].

There seemed to be a lack of intent when the LLM was the one asking the questions. This creates a reverse dynamic, where you become the one being "prompted" and this dynamic could be worth studying or adjusting further

Writing good technical text is an art. There is a certain amount of fluff that helps, and it’s almost unnoticeable when it’s there. Without it, it’s too terse. Quite often, my complaint of technical documentation is “it did exactly what the docs said it would do, except in a situation that I didn’t expect it to do that”.
You say that as if the recommendations for freedom weren’t based on the initial medical data.

> What you'll see first is how single sided it is. This cannot be a coincidence.

It’s not a coincidence. Russia invaded a European country and for the first time since WW2 we are in what is essentially war time. You may not know this, but Russia has long been a bully. Every year we have a democratic meeting called Folkemødet here in Denmark. It’s where the political top and our media meets the public for several days. When I went there Russian bombers violated our Airspace during a practice run of nuclear bombing the event. Now they are in an active war with a European country and they are threatening the rest of us with total war basically every other day.

Of course it’s one sided. Russia has chosen to become an enemy of Europe and we will be lucky if we can avoid a direct conflict with them. We are already seeing attacks on our infrastructure both digital and physical around in the EU. We’ve seen assassinations carried out inside our countries, and things aren’t looking to improve any time soon.

What “sides” is it you think there are? If Russia didn’t want to be an enemy of Europe they could withdraw their forces and stop being at war with our neighbours.
The system data apparently contains the Time Machine backups that haven’t been flushed to your external backup, including folders that are set to be ignored.

I discovered this while trying to restore a docker vm image that was maybe ignored, while not having enough space on the drive to restore it back, because deleted versions still take up space in the system data, even when the trash is emptied.

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.

Ilya Sutskever: LLM Pre-training as we know it will end, data is not growing
Wasn‘t that the case before the change?

You clicked the title and went to YouTube.
That's a terrible suggestion.
The main executor that you get when main is spawned is preemptive. You can do compression, math, etc there for as long as you like. You can spawn other executors from the main with assigned priorities. Using SWI executors for high priority cooperative scheduling can be great for timely handling of hardware peripherals. You slap an async Channel in between tasks that run on the same or different executors.
Fujitsu seems to be weirdly stubborn about global commercialisation of their CPUs. I know of at least a couple of HPC customers who wanted to build systems based on A64FX and the answer was basically "...nah we're good".

This site is obsolete/irrelevant, it is best to ignore Miguel de Icaza's criticism of .NET as of the last 3 or so years. He went off to (supposedly?) greener pastures of Swift in Apple lands. Take from that what you will.

New Testing Reveals Deceptive Behaviour in OpenAI's ChatGPT O1
It is strictly not cutting edge. Maybe it would have been about 10 years ago. The tooling is nowhere near as productive and the language selection leaves a lot to be desired.

.NET as a platform has far superior implementation of asynchronous and concurrency primitives both performance and UX-wise, and there are more performance wins down the line too.
Where YouTube is making a mistake is in showing ads on embedded videos, for YouTube Premium customers and you can no longer click on the embed to go to YouTube and see the video without the ads.

I'm not sure if this is something each site can control using the embed code, but I noticed more and more that embedded videos will no longer allow you to jump youtube.com.

So there aren't any GUI controls, buttons, input fields, &c.?

Would there be a way to add those in the future?

They mean make it permanent rather than eliminate it. I would like it eliminated.
Its extremely easy. Just dont overthink, implement the stuff you gotta implement and move on. Simplicity generates flexibility. Its also easier to refactor if your app isnt a architectural docker mess.
Can we take the anthropic out of this? I reckon it'll make things easier.

Instead of me knowing, do other physical objects get affected. I might get anemsia and forget what the dots on a dice mean and say they are all the same: all dotty!

Imagine each hydrogen atom has a hidden guid but this is undetectable and has no effect on anything else. This is a secret from the rest of physics!

I guess!!! (Armchair pondering!) that that guid cannot be taken into account for entropy changes. At least from any practical standpoint.

You could imagine each atom having a guid and come up with a scheme to hash the atom based on where it came from ... but is that info really there and if so does it affect anything physically beyond that atoms current state (as defined by stuff that affects other stuff).
How about Turkey-Ye with Ye as in Kanye. I think the vowel sound would be closer.
It's misleading to call it eliminating it when they intend to make it permanent. Like when they told everyone they want to eliminate the tax on social security and medicare. They plan to get rid of the tax by ending the programs.
Very thought provoking.

Maybe some people aren't introverts, just "talking to more than a few people means this is dumb" verts.

My School Experimented with 'Education Equity.' It Failed
> In short, I think a correction is warranted, but I hate to see it happen as part of a charged ideological / political process.

That’s a bad heuristic. When something is failing, that approach’s ideological proponents will continue to defend it, while the ideological opponents will call out the shortcomings. That’s just how everything works. You should evaluate whether or not the thing is working on its own merits, not based on who is leveling the criticism.
Why?

While it is clear what solution you are trying to build, it is not clear what problem you are trying to solve.

Or why you think LLM's are the right technology.

Good luck.

It will take some time because there is a lot of work to be done for C# language features.

I think they are partially overrated because 1. C#'s type system is quite expressive already and 2. C# has excellent pattern-matching support. Sure, union type definition is a nicer experience in F#, but outside of it there are surprisingly few differences in terms of user experience.
No, the issues is that the AMA convinced congress to limit the number of residencies available, which acts as a hard cap on the supply of doctors.
Cortex M micros have a builtin preemptive async scheduler - the NVIC.

My personal style for doing embedded firmware have evolved to do everything in interrupt handlers and dynamically set priorities and pending bits to launch the next 'task' - main is just an empty for loop with a WFE/WFI instruction in it.
The hardware is even specifically designed for this style with interrupt call chaining - when you exit an interrupt handler and another pending interrupt is asserted you dont take the full overhead of pushing/popping registers.
What anthropic do you mean? I'm describing properties of models, not people. Physics (probably) doesn't care what you "know".

On the guid idea - fundamental particles are indistinguishable from one another in quantum mechanics, so they don't have anything like a guid even in principle. There is no experiment you could perform on an electron to determine whether it had been swapped out for a "different" one, for instance.

Maybe I'm missing your point though?
> 1) Little as in "0, but maybe someone wants to quibble that technically it did something so I'll hedge". As far as I can tell literally everyone I know caught COVID, so it is fair to say the vaccine had no impact on transmission. Raising the obvious question of why it matters where people caught it.

Many hospitalizations and deaths from COVID occurred on subsequent infections.

> 2) If catching COVID is going to kill you, by now you are dead by now.

False, that’s simply not how infection works.

Part of the difference here is viral load on exposure. Vaccines and masks reduced viral loads in the air, which then gave people’s immune system longer to react. The immune system takes time to ramp up, but so do infections. A larger initial exposure can snowball even in reasonably healthy individuals.
When it autonomously performs tasks on behalf of the user, without their intervention. It sets goals, plans actions, etc. by itself.
> Yes. See also Flat Earthers. But their existence does not invalidate the fields geology or astronomy.

If flat earthers could become geology university professors then the field would be invalidated instantly, that's exactly my point!

Again the problem isn't that some people say wrong stuff, it's that you can spend your entire career saying fashionable bullshit that gets disproved over and over and face zero consequence in terms of academic reputation. This isn't what science is about, this field is still behaving with the ethos of political philosophy it is born from, not like a science even a social one (History is a good example of how you can do science on societies, and yes this is very different from physics in terms of what kind of knowledge it brings us, but so is biology).
Because the language is an Oberon/Pascal descendant.
AARO is waiting for reports for something that is in the news? They have no field investigation teams? If China/Russia is flying drones over military bases they will wait for a report to investigate? Do they investigate anything at all or just file the reports and think about them? Seems like a very passive organization. The first report they put out seemed very flawed, it had an "artists rendering" of a graph!
This is another thing that is captured in tone more than anything though the Brits do have a well deserved reputation for sarcasm. Difficult to convey in print what meaning you want the recipient to get.
