> Enforcement of election laws inherently allows unelected lawyers and judges to second guess voters.

Um, legal enforcement of almost any standard allows unelected lawyers and judges to second-guess "the popular will" — for example, in buying goods and services, many people vote with their dollars for the cheapest option as opposed to quality (as airlines have learned). Without enforcement, this "revealed preference" can drive a cost-cutting race to the bottom on the part of producers — adverse impacts on society be damned (e.g., pollution and other negative externalities).

And voters, in particular, can be subject to buyer's remorse: see, e.g., the recent polling about the increase in the number of Brits who voted for Brexit and now regret it. [0]

That’s true relative to a VC backed startup, but not necessarily true for bootstrapped or startups looking to create sustainable companies. Look at base camp for instance
On a side note, I've had fun playing with something like this with Caddy and StepCA and bind running in a homelab. I've managed to, using the rfc2136 plugin, managed to rotate certs every ten minutes.

Every six days is fine, just use something like Caddy that rotates the certs for you and it should just be set it and forget it.

Yes, I realize this is a bit glib.

> Heavy gaming users would probably hit the cost vs usage overlap of the extra power draw as well.

They absolutely would not. Maybe if they’re paying California or Germany electric bills, and even that is still not a huge impact. For every other home desktop user it doesn’t matter.

That said, GamersNexus pointed out that these cards have somewhat poor idle power consumption.

The truth is Nvidia is somewhat untouchable on performance per watt right now so their competitors at some point have to throw power at it in order to make a marketable card.

Finally, it’s also notable that this Intel card performs better than the 4060 as resolutions get higher. So there may be some light gamers looking in the $250-300 price range who are playing a certain type of game where they want to be able to run high resolutions on a budget card where this SKU makes sense.

Playing a lower graphical intensity game on a high resolution display would be the sweet spot for this card it seems. The card might draw more power than a 4060 but it can outperform it in the right scenario and be acquired for a lower price.

AI Willy Rater is an AI-powered tool designed for the purpose of evaluating and rating photographs of dicks. After generating a rating, you can perform fights against other users to win and receive more credits to perform more ratings.

This service may serve as an entertaining, humorous, and engaging application within the boundaries of the user's privacy. Users have the ability to upload a photo and set their preferred 'honesty level' for the rating.

It provides ratings instantaneously and ensures user privacy by never saving the images to the servers. It is also customizable to serve different user preferences, promising a wide range of reactions from critiques to ego boosts.

As it is AI-driven, ratings are unbiased, and personalized to each user based on their supplied images.
Supposedly no, but in reality what happens is that when a drug is approved, lots of documentation about that drug + formulation is already published as a result of the R&D processes along with agency oversight in various countries.

When a brand name drug goes off patent, everybody (including competitors and generics manufacturers) already has a pretty good idea of both 1) the commercial market for generics, and 2) the components of the drug.

What isn't shared are trade secrets disclosing manufacturing processes, as well as the inactive ingredients+formulation of the drug. Competitors & generics OEMs are left to guess and use best judgment when they create competitors to the original, and sometimes they make bad decisions.

Actual manufacturing quality should be equally high, but the resulting drug may not end up being exactly the same as the branded version, even if the differences have nothing to do with the active ingredient.

The FDA has to give the factories 90 days notice of an upcoming inspection.
You took an extreme example (HP). But only a handful states in India have that restriction where outsiders are not allowed to buy land.

There are many all-India services and people are transferred all across India. Many work in different states than those of their home state. Same Constitution, same legal framework. Same religion.

I think if you go deeper you will notice the unifying characteristics rather than superficial differences among states of India.

And while I differ with you on Indian states being very far aways from different Russian states in terms of similarity/differences, I definitely agree with your opinion that Indian state borders don't make much sense.
Inspectors need terminal degrees and the pay doesn't match what they typically get in industry. The same is true for veterinarians employed by USDA to do ranch & meat packing inspections.

Whatever these drones are they're smart enough to vanish once we try to tail them. It's likely not simply Iranian tech. Remember China and Iran are allies, and sharing technology. If China wanted to prove something to the USA, they could easily let Iran do it, simply to cause less of an "International Incident" if the truth comes out of what's going on. My hunch is that it's a Chinese Technology Demonstration, and the "mothership" might be nothing more than a cargo container on a cargo ship. That would go totally unnoticed by our military sensor arrays.

You are saying it is a not dreadful statistical measure.

That is doubtful, but possible

It is used for individuals. That is where it is harmful
Those are tree search techniques, they are not metrics to assess the "human" complexity of a line. They could be used for this purpose but out of the box they just give you winning probability
That's fair! Agreed it would be good to mention on the home page :)

I did mention in the HN post description, but probably should also say so in the title
Because users don't think about "time at a location" and they may not even have a location when they schedule a time. Both parties may say " yeah, meet at 4:30" with the knowledge that it could be my house in DST or your house in MST but we haven't decided yet, we'll figure that out in the future, but it'll be at 4:30.

That's a time outside of a location which works for the humans involved but which is completely unresolvable by the "time at a location" computer paradigm.

People do stuff like this all the time and don't think about it and it's unresolvable and not consistent.
I think that if what you're looking for is to increase the speed at which you can drive something which has some parasitic capacitance, you would do that by using the techniques that are employed by e.g. gate drivers.
Not the mention the time trouble that Ding left himself in once again. This time Gukesh ended with almost a full hour over Ding. When you put yourself in a tough position, no matter how drawish it is in theory, you need to have enough time to figure out the ideas of the position and with only 10 minutes left and 30 seconds per move, you might slip up and make a quick move when you really needed to think harder.
I suspect most libertarians think the biggest problem here (and in many other areas) is that the government is providing a guarantee of safety, but not actually taking the steps which are required to ensure safety (because it'd be extremely difficult).
Has anyone had great success with voice mode following their system prompts? Every time I try the quality seems markedly less than the normal gpt-4o model.
That's it exactly. Engines will often show you at least 3 lines each with their valuation, and you can check the difficulty often just from that delta from 1st to 2nd best move. With some practical chess experience you can also "feel" how natural or exoteric the best move is.

In the WCC match between Caruana and Carlsen, they were at one difficult endgame where Carlsen (the champion) moved and engines calculated it was a "blunder" because there was a theoretical checkmate in like 36(!) moves, but no commentator took it seriously as there was "no way" a human would be able to spot the chance and calculate it correctly under the clock.
Can I add they have a bad track record of supporting new products. Gmail, google, gsuite seem to be well supported.

Step one would be "get Boeing or Airbus to design, build, certify, and sell thousands of a significantly different airplane model".

That's a big hurdle for an airline to start climbing now to someday maybe start saving money on bag loading in many years.

You are right about the expensive varieties, which I buy sporadically, but I do not use olive oil for flavoring, but as actual food (it typically provides around two thirds of my daily intake of fat, or even more in the days with increased physical work that requires a higher energy intake).

So using a better olive oil would not make me reduce the amount that I eat, therefore I choose the cheapest EVOO most of the time (which is still quite good, even if with a less intense flavor; since I use great amounts in cooking, the flavor is strong enough anyway).
As a CS undergrad at Berkeley in the 90's I took an upper division math class in which we worked through the "old school" proof which was brand new and exciting then. Pretty much everyone else in the class was a math grad student. I don't think I understood more than 20% of the material! :)
It would be a great thing if some unknown company cracks all of this before any of the big ones do.

Seemingly feels unlikely, due to the cost perhaps, but it would upend things a bit, put these bigger companies on their toes.
So the crappy face in the front, the pods for the sound, the dedicated chip for all the AR functions, and the separation of battery and headset are copies of everybody else?

Dr Who gets labelled as SF, but it's really Victorian horror in the tradition of Wilkie Collins and Henry James, with a coat of silver science fiction paint and more than a few nods to Shakespeare. It's always had that terrifying aspect with its focus on ghosts, wizard, witches, and monsters, some of whom happen to be alien, all of whom are still recognisable as distorted humanity.

For more mainstream alien SF horror you want Nigel Kneale's Quatermass series. If you squint hard you can see the influence of the original 1950s Quatermass episodes in Dr Who's DNA.

Well, consider that training is a batch processing step, while inference is the that's interactive. So training is more analogous to compilation than to gameplay.

The site's ad copy: "BlenderGPT is an advanced artificial intelligence program that creates 3D models from text or image prompts in ~20 seconds. It lets you synthesise fully textured meshes, then import directly to Blender with a shortcut or download the source files for use in any compatible software. We think it's really good, try it out for free now."

It's very deliberately posing itself as having their own proprietary algorithm, as opposed to just a wrapper around TRELLIS, whose team did the real work. There's nothing wrong with that, but not giving any credit or mention to the trellis team is in poor taste.
Yeah, this sort of stuff seems incredibly short-sighted. It gives me queasy "methinks the lady doth protest too much" ExpressVPN vibes.

> The reality is that we've codified that Presidents are largely unable to be investigated and or held to account by the legal system.

They can be investigated and held to account by Congress. That's what impeachment is. That's the whole point of having impeachment in the constitution.

If Congress fails to exercise its constitutional duty, then the problem lies with the specific representatives that place party above country.

Show HN: AI Slack app with generative UI
Hey!

We're building tools to simplify how to make AI apps, including the UI/UX part. I've posted about this before, but the general idea is that the UI components I already know how to build define, in a way, the actions that are available to a user. So, we just tell our AI system what components are available, and let it decide when to show them to a user based on messages or whatever context.

Anyway, we thought Slack might be an interesting place to interact with AI apps, since it's already a natural language interface, and people are already there for work.

So we made a template and tutorial on how to build an AI Slack app that can control UI components! It's a simple ToDo app, but it should help you think through how you might build your own app in this way. Would love some feedback.
surely someone thought of this before though. There must be a "why not" answer already.
> King's novel is a relatively straightforward horror story / thriller, with some elements that go a little bit over the top.

Interesting how we could see it so differently. I think the book does an amazing job of showing the struggle of alcoholism, and more generally, how good people can do evil things. How we can be a good person that cares for and love others, and how circumstance, inner demons, and our choices can lead us to hurt the ones we love. Jack in the book clearly loves his family, but struggles with anger issues, impulse control, and alcoholism, mostly stemming from the abuse he endured at the hands of his violent, alcoholic father.

The ability to be inside Jack’s head, and King’s great writing, show Jack to be a man desperately trying overcome his trauma for his family that he deeply loves. His struggles to build trust that are undone in a moment of uncontrolled anger, while extreme, are very relatable and feel real. The Overlook is a supernatural externalization of inner demons. The ghosts poisoning his mind against his family represents paranoid thinking and trust issues that come from childhood trauma. He loved his father and all his father did was hurt him, and so eventually Wendy and Danny would hurt him too.

The movie did not explore any of this. Movie Jack barely tolerates his family from the beginning, and it isn’t much of a struggle to make him hate them. The movie takes the same basic story and uses it to explore very different things. I think the book and the movie are excellent and I don’t even really try to compare them, since they aren’t even trying to do the same thing.
Here's a link to the tutorial: https://www.usehydra.ai/docs/slack/tutorials/slack-ai-todo-a...
bool foo(some_struct* bar) {
if (bar->blah()) {
return true;
}
if (bar == nullptr) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

Can the compiler eliminate that nullptr comparison in your opinion yes or no? While this example looks stupid, after inlining it's quite plausible to end up with code in this type of a pattern. Dereferencing a nullptr is UB, and typically the "platform-specific" behavior is a crash, so... why should that if statement remain? And then if it can't remain, why should an explicit `_Nonnull` assertion have different behavior than an explicit deref? What if the compiler can also independently prove that some_struct->blah() always evaluates to false, so it eliminates that entire branch - does the `if (bar == nullptr)` still need to remain in that specific case? If so, why? The code was the same in both cases, the compiler just got better at eliminating dead code.
Are you aware that you're speaking incel ideology? Sure, attractiveness matters, it matters much much more on a phone. Yet i still see "objectively attractive" women walking around with "ugly" men. If you think that every woman instantly hates you because your chin to cheek ratio or whatever is wrong than maybe they will act funny around you, but it's not because your cheeks. It's because of your attitude. Women are human beings and thus have highly tuned social compasses that can tell healthy from unhealthy social attitudes. To use the language, "betas" from "alphas". It has very very little to do with the way they look and almost everything to do with the way they act and speak. You aren't falling with women because of millimeters of bone in your facial structure, you're failing with women because you _believe_ your face is wrong, because you _believe_ that your going to fail no matter what you do.

I've known many incels and almost was one some time long ago. You gotta get off the dating apps, they aren't for dating, they're for making men feel so bad about themselves that they believe they must spend money to get a chance at any real women. That's what they do to you. Go to a bar with people if possible and try to speak to a stranger. Try to speak to a stranger in the train, on the sidewalk, at the grocery store. Leave it at a single sentence complement if you must, but do it. Smile with your eyes when you make eye contact with someone. Speak to people and leave those forums trying to blackpill you. They aren't your friends, they're just holding hands as you all slowly commit suicide.

The rise of incel ideology is a terrible thing for our young men. We should be setting better examples so the only explanation they have isn't "your fucking face is broken and you'll never be good enough"
