In my experience most neighbor complaints are not about the complaint but rather about the neighbor and/or the neighbor relationship, especially if its the first approach to the "issue". To my understanding, the majority of complaints (to all form of neighbor complaints) are false and made by a small number of complainers.

However this doesn't mean the government should not act. An interview of a false complaint is a small cost to pay compared to not doing anything when there is a real problem. Most of the time those employed to do the investigation known to look for signs of false reports and neighbor conflicts in order to filter them out, but at the same time they do need to make sure as to not miss-classify a real complaint.
Schulz has been hopeless for Ukraine so it shouldn’t sound so tragic.

Oberfeldwebel Hans Schultz was known mostly for turning a blind eye to the prisoners' various doings at Stalag 13 (to whom he was known simply as "Schultz"). Having proved himself hopeless in that capacity, it's not surprising that he'd be hopeless for Ukraine as well.

Something tells me you may be thinking of the current German Chancelllor, Olaf Scholz.

Mathematics can be unambiguously communicated because teachers are describing a system with only one or a few self consistent interpretations. Effectively, there's a natural error correction scheme built in (the state I've been described is invalid, so find the closest valid state and assume that). Note that even then, very many people struggle to communicate about math.

If you ever get to go to London... https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/clocks-timekeeping

Latitude has a "natural" definition (sphere spins around, how big around are you spinning near the poles vs. the equator?).

Longitude has no "natural" definition!? How far away are you from Mount Everest? ...only works when you have a natural sight line to the peak of the mountain... If "high noon" at London is exactly (ummm...) NOW! ...and you go 1000 miles west, how much TIME has passed between your "noon" and London's "noon"? You need a good watch... and how can you determine "high noon" on the pitching deck of a ship at sea? ...maybe not with your typical pendulum clock!

It was such a mind-blowing experience to learn that maps (and thus CLOCKS!) were first a military and trade technology! If you have a good clock, you can get a good X-coord in addition to the "free" Y-coord. If you can get good X,Y then you can make a good map. If you have a good map, you can optimize your trade / military routes, etc, etc, etc.

Impossible to be sure without logs, but the issue they are describing appears to be a problem with "modern standby" S0 vs good old-fashioned S3.

Just guessing, some device is not correctly entering a deep sleep state (like an ssd not entering d3cold). So the machine isn't actually fully asleep. Honestly, I'm not sure of the technical benefits, but on the surface, modern standby sucks. I've seen reports of machines having sleep issues even under Windows, but Microsoft pushed it and here we are.

Some machines, that support both, default to modern standby and can be changed to S3 with a kernel flag or bios setting. Some, less fortunate, have S3 fully disabled without a way of turning it on, save maybe recompiling your DSDT table.
Then your point is tangent to the question of zero values, and even more so to the abstract concept of zero values spilling over into protobuf.
If HN is a conduit for YC, why would HN not want mindshare that reflects what YC wants? For instance, is this post not getting upvotes because it reflects negativly on these internet companies?

HN's been around for nearly 20 years. You can check its growth.

When you code, you have to comment so any idiot can understand your logic, correct? I do not see why this is not true here.

You do not have to do this when you code and I don't understand its relationship to HN. Social spaces, whether online or off don't work like code. And the 'standards' here are largely set by people.

No, dang wants it on his terms. I do not want it on my terms or dangs terms. I want it on the community's terms. But there is not voting here on the topic. It is authoritarian and I want to get rid of authoritarianism because that serves the most people the best. I know it is messy and ugly, but that is humanity.

If you want to design a messageboard by voting, you should try that. It's not how this one or, really, any is designed. Differences of opinion on how things should be made and work are not, in themselves, 'authoritarianism'.

Authoritarian control for a purpose that benefits the authoritarian

I think this would be a lot more persuasive if it didn't come off like the conclusion you're motivated-reasoning yourself to rather than something supported by concrete facts or experiences.

Show HN: We built Premagic – a tool that turns event attendees into marketers
At every event, tons of photos are taken, but they rarely get used well. As organizers, you post a handful on social media while the best moments are scattered across attendee phones. And if you’re hoping for engagement or visibility? It’s a grind.

We built Premagic, an event tool that flips this problem.

Here’s what we do:

Instant Photo Sharing: We use AI to auto-select the best event photos and share them in real time with attendees. They get photos they love. You get organic visibility when they share (and they do).

Branded Advocacy Posters: Personalized “I’m attending” or “I’m speaking” posters are generated automatically—no designer needed. Attendees become your event’s marketing army.

AI Avatar Check-Ins: We turn event check-ins into an experience. Attendees can generate personalized, branded avatars on the spot—fun, shareable, and sponsor-friendly.

We’ve tested this at over 2,000 events and seen a 3x increase in organic social reach for organizers. Event marketers and sponsors love it because it amplifies visibility without paid ads.

We’re event tech folks trying to make photos and moments work harder—organically.

Would love your feedback!
A Micro SaaS app that makes $550 MRR one year after launch
Well this was fun and thanks for the discussion, everyone. People are surprisingly nice and sensible and positive here! I used to have another account but lost the password. Perhaps I'll be a reader here in the future.

Anyway, I've tried to turn the very temporary influx of interest into something positive and lasting by searching for 2 people who can install and document the install of a pair of TW4 energy recovery ventilators, so anyone who wishes to buy thereafter can know what they are in for on that count. There is another guy Alex who will test flow and efficiency, I've already sent him the stuff.

So we get things tested and verified, and I will continue getting a jump on producing units by running the printers and assembling in between when I am doing the more respectably paid work in my life. The kits are on the back burner because even I am still stabilizing the assembly methodology. I even added a new component just recently, a flow straightener that boosts flow by about 10% while allowing noise to be reduced even further.

So stabilize, verify, produce, and then after that, within a couple months, I sell in a more or less ordinary way to anyone who wants them. I'm sorry it's not in time for the cold weather, but we have to remember ERV is about the big picture and long term. Like the rest of a building, it's an investment, and the machines are made for (very) good return and long lifespan.

I will prepare some WM12 units for those who have asked for them. To be clear I only got 12 emails expressing interest, not an absolute flood, but it's encouraging to know some people "get it" at least. I knew there would only ever be a small trickle of relatively wise people from around the world that appreciate good performance and return on investment. I only need to sell a few pairs per month to make it worthwhile, at the eventual $1300 CAD price tag.

I am open to scaling up production with more efficient production methodologies, but I am actually fairly well acquainted with injection molding, machining and other conventional approaches, and they aren't magic. They would help for sure but they wouldn't radically change the price, or the rate of return on investment, and they also take a lot of investment not just for tooling but also re-testing and re-design. I've also changed the design so, so many times after I thought it was done I am highly wary of being locked in.
Please visit people when they are still alive.

My aunt was alone for the last three years of her live, up to 94 years old. She had almost no visitors, and was not able to go out by herself. I went there about every week, and was always the only visitor.

Then came the funeral, with well over 400 people there, and around 200 people at the coffee table after the funeral. And I was like: Where the hell were you guys the past three years? She was alone (after her husband died) and most of you never visited her since (and no they were not living far away or unable to visit).

Go to the funeral yes, but don't wait until.

Yes, Tumblr has quite a bit of this content. You're looking for terms like proana, thinspo, meanspo, mia, b/p, various misspellings of anorexic to avoid filters, and ironically "not pro just using tags."

If you want to see the content just create a Tumblr account, search proana, click past the eating disorder hotline message, and scroll through. It goes on forever. Fair warning, it's depressing.

The only memory mechanism within an LLM as far as I know is the attention mechanism where it compares all previous tokens to generate a probability distribution for the next token to generate. The attention mechanism has a thing called a KV cache to take the O(n^2) matrix math down to O(n) by caching and reusing the results of some math from previous tokens. The size of how many tokens the context will cover is called the context window (e.g. 128k for Llama).

The articles use very similar verbiage.

> The context window can be considered the model’s working memory

Snip

> Universal transformer memory optimizes prompts using neural attention memory models (NAMMs), simple neural networks that decide whether to “remember” or “forget” each given token stored in the LLM’s memory.

snip

> Meanwhile, by discarding unnecessary tokens, NAMM enabled the LLM model to save up to 75% of its cache memory while performing the tasks.

You just have to be familiar with the wording in the space and read enough literature. Here’s more direct wording from the NAMM paper:

> NAMMs use evolution to optimize the performance of LMs by pruning their KV cache memory. Evolved NAMMs can be zero-shot transferred to other transformers, even across input modalities and task domains.

This is all related work about shrinking the size of the KV cache as the context grows both due to memory and it also has a speed up effect since you’re not having to attend all the tokens (O(n) -> sublinear with the size of the context).

Context is critical in the LLM answering correctly and remembering all the information given to it + everything it said. Typical limits for open models these days are 128k but with techniques like this it could scale even further allowing better performance on thing like code completion.

I'm surprised in all this discussion not to see the distinction between a wake and a funeral.

The advice I've heard is, go to a wake to support those who are grieving, go to a funeral to grieve yourself.

(For this reason, the wake is held at more "convenient" hours.)

Do others make this distinction? Is the practice of holding a separate wake a regional/cultural thing?

Java has a standard, each C implementation has a standard, Python has a standard, etc.

The problem is that each of these standards is different, and impossible to modify.

So, we need something that can serialize one standard to a wire format, and then deserialize from that wire format to another standard.

Oh wait...
Except the alternative to electric are petrol/diesel cars which are worse than electric cars run on gas or coal. The pollution no longer occurs in population zones, and the grid can be cleaned up without changing the car.

The alternatives for these data centres are either build renewables or not build the data centres, both of which are better.
Emacs: Two New Standard Themes
It seems like you intentionally missed my point: when you're in public, you are the provider of some non-trivial amount of data. There is no distinction between subject and provider in that case.

To follow your logic in that case is to argue that you should have no control over how your likeness is used once you provide it to the public by simply being in public.

This is nonsense. The provider of the information being collected should generally have some say in how that data is used; and if we want a respectful and kind society, we should respect those wishes so long as they are not unreasonable.

It is not unreasonable for NYCDOT to ask that people not use their traffic cameras to take selfies. Encouraging people to flout those wishes, even in the name of "art", is to encourage a society that does not respect other people's wishes.
Insofar as one of the defining characteristics of art is the constraints you impose upon yourself, one of the fundamental constraints of making an art piece out of something functional is that you should either preserve its usability, or break it in a way that makes a statement. This does neither.

The concept is great, the board is absolutely beautiful, and, at first glance, the curve is aesthetically pleasing while not getting in the way of reading the board. Texture as the "colour" works great. The figures, though, just look like they ran out of steam, it's like the "horse drawing" meme. They're not evocative of chess pieces, they're not particularly evocative of sand structures either. They're just... there. They're pretty enough, I guess, but in a generic way.

When you add to that that the photos have an impossible pawn formation, it kind of screams of "I don't actually care about the subject of my art piece".

Well, your username certainly checks out. I am not sure how many solo projects you have embarked on, but providing a product to 2 million people is no small feat even for a team. Iterating to product market fit takes a lot and not many people are ever able to do it.

I accept that premise if the goal is opportunity in novel fields. If the goal is simply landing an opportunity I think he introvert’s approach is actually more powerful.

The extrovert has loads of low probability opportunities; they tend to be more varied due to the breadth of their networking.

The introvert is selling to people they know; if they get to the point where they are asking for the opportunity I predict they land a larger percentage than the extrovert. Because they’re drawn from a smaller network, however, they are also likely to be in narrower fields.
We don't know for sure, but it is often said that the father wasn't dead in that story. That is the person in question was really saying "I don't want to tell my family what I'm doing, once they are gone I'll follow you". (timelines are not clear, but Jesus likely died a couple years latter so the opportunity to follow Jesus would have ended long before the parents died)

I imagine running a browser on a remote modern machine using X11 forwarding over SSH would work well enough to let vintage computers use the web as it is today. File downloads would have to be a separate operation using rsync.
Sounds within the right range to me. By that time I think I'd have been to five that I remember (a great-grandparent, a grandparent, an uncle, a great aunt, a school friend who was skittled on his morning paper-round). There may have been others that I was too young at the time to remember now.

For me, funerals and similar services are more for family and close (or at least close-ish) friends. My social cluster might number 150, but there are many in it for whom I'll pass on my regards & regrets from afar rather than attending a funeral or wake.

Are you attending 2 funerals every year, even averaged over a couple of decades to allow for clustering? I can think of one year when there were three, but that nowhere near makes up for the years when there were none or just one.
Dumb question (maybe): I'm aware that "tester time" is very expensive for advanced integrated circuits. Could it be that disabled cores are actually "unknown" i.e. probably good, but money was saved by not even testing them?
We elect decision makers who are lazy to do their job so they put the difficult part on everyone's head, basically making everyone proactively proving that they are not criminals (including helping criminals by intent). Also the catching of the criminals are put on citizens too (those being directors or responible persons of an organization). I can collect perhaps dozens of such if I try apart from this example. First comes to mind is when you have to prove you are not money loundering when receiving a large sum or buying an expensive but essential to life thing (house). I lived in a country where re-registering your pre-paid SIM card is a yearly feat, otherwise it will be taken away, only because the officials did not notice criminals buying that by the 100's of thousands. No mistake, 200.000 suspicious purchase occurred. So, now everyone has one more small task to do, prove him/herself towards authorities because authorities are sooo incompetent and lazy. Fucking up the life for everyone bit by bit, slowly making it not worthwile to do anything meaningful, better just sit and exists silently.

We elect these inept parasites. It is on us.
