If you had DSL in 1998, you were rich, or at least putting a very high priority on the internet.

ADSL was launched in 1999 in the UK, so you also weren't here.
I bought an old used desktop computer, a used 3090, and upgraded the power supply, all for around 900€. Didn't assemble it all yet. But it will be able to comfortably run 30B parameter models with 30-40 T/s. The M4 Max can do ~10 T/s, which is not great once you really want to rely on it for your productivity.

Yes, it is not "local" as I will have to use the internet when not at home. But it will also not drain the battery very quickly when using it, which I suspect would happen to a Macbook Pro running such models. Also 70B models are out of reach of my setup, but I think they are painfully slow on Mac hardware.

Apparently the two classes are diamagnetism and paramagnetism. Best I can get from reading, diamagnetic materials are more random in their alignment (and repulsed by magnetic fields) and paramagnetic ones are more uniformly aligned (and attracted by fields). Can someone else explain it better?

The article seems to be talking about some new type of ordered alignment. They say anti-parallel, which made me think of overlapping orthogonal alignments, where neighbors are kind of perpendicular, but the image shows vectors which are mostly just slightly off from parallel, creating those swirls.
This sounds great!

"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. . . .

History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time—and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.

My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings—when I left the Fillmore half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning across the Bay Bridge at a hundred miles an hour wearing L. L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder's jacket . . . booming through the Treasure Island tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond, not quite sure which turn-off to take when I got to the other end (always stalling at the toll-gate, too twisted to find neutral while I fumbled for change) . . . but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”
The more they are oriented towards normies, the more "smart" they will be. As someone else said in this thread, this is what normies want, sadly. So the only stronghold is "real" projectors that are far more expensive and aimed at home cinema enthusiasts because they are far more difficult to set up (but you get way better results if you're prepared to put in the time/effort/money).

Projectors are designed to hang from the ceiling. That is how I installed mine, above the couch. The install is easier then mounting a TV to the wall.

The problem is light control. You want to have blackout curtains and you have to close them every time you want to watch something.

And I might be out of touch with current offerings, but I think the sweetspot for price performance still has not LED options. Only entry and high end. The non-led projectors have a bit more fan noise and expensive to change the bulb, which has limited on-time.

I had my entry level projector for 10 years now and the bulb is still fine. But I also don't watch that much. Paid ~700 EUR. I shitty smart tv with no internet probably also turns on faster. I have to wait ~20 seconds.

I miss when CentOS was the distro that you could pick for slower moving enterprise projects. Nowadays Rocky Linux might fill that role, I’ve seen some use Oracle Linux without too much of a hassle (aside from, you know, Oracle).

That said, I do appreciate the stability of RPM distros regardless. I do run Ubuntu LTS (or Debian) for a lot of personal stuff because their popularity does mean almost everything you might want to do being documented and most software running fine out of the box, but I’d still look in the direction of RPM distros for when I want to set something up and have it work for a while (due to the long EOL).

Though containers make that choice less important nowadays, which is also nice.

I've not seen any sources claiming such a large number; hundreds of thousands targeted specifically due to their religion and over all races combined, but not millions.

Normally you define the dot product (or inner product more generally) with a few conditions that it has to satisfy, and then define two vectors to be orthogonal if their dot product equals 0: <u,v> = 0.

Then Pythagoras's theorem falls out of that - if we have two vectors u, v that are orthogonal, we can use the conditions in the definition of the dot product to prove that ||u + v||^2 = ||u||^2 + ||v||^2 (where ||u|| is the norm of u, defined as sqrt(<u,u>)).

(It's not a hard proof, because the definition of dot product says it's additive in the first slot, meaning <u+v, w> = <u,w> + <v, w>. So it's easy to prove things about sqrt(<u+v, u+v>) by splitting out the u's and v's. It's a bit hard to write this on HN because no mathjax though.)

I find your phrasing funny, the ‘they’ in ‘all they had to do was sell the CCPs stake’ is the CCP (under the operative theory that the CCP completely controls ByteDance). So it seems rather odd to say that the CCP was unwilling to sell their ‘stake’. Obviously the CCP is not going to willing give up their massively influential, culture destroying app (I don’t support this version of reality, but it is how politicians are trying to sell this move), if the CCP can not gain use from the app what point would there be in keeping it alive? If ByteDance is just a tool for Chinese propaganda, disguised as a tech company, there was never any possibility that the company could disengage from its CCP control and all of this was just theater to make it look like there was some way to avoid the ban.
I played for a while on my phone but gave up because it's too much hassle to remember and enter things like phone numbers and passwords.

I know that's kind of the point, but I think it would be much more playable and still get the point across if you made text fields automatic.

As it is, I expect 99% of players will get to the create account screen on the phone and bail.

It would also help give the game some personality: when I have to create phone account, let me choose from 3 personas: one male, one female, and one clearly fake.
"Mistreat" is a bit unnecessarily dramatic. People in the US were fine (possibly even better off) before TikTok, and they'll be just fine if it goes away.

China's level of internet control and censorship does seem to rise to the level of mistreatment (in that they control and shape access to information, in ways that further the interests of state propaganda), but denying Chinese companies (and the Chinese government) market access to American consumers in some spheres seems fine. It's never been a two-way street with China, and I think we should be engaging in a bit of protectionism when it comes to allowing or not allowing Chinese companies to operate here.

If the US government were suppressing particular views or discussion of some topics (as the Chinese government does to their own citizens), then I would be alarmed. But that's not what's happening here; if the TikTok ban goes through, US citizens' free speech rights will not be meaningfully impacted, as there are other platforms that can and will carry the same content.

Banning a foreign company from doing business in your country isn't automatically censorship. There's nuance.

(And beyond all this, I do worry about the Chinese government using TikTok as a platform to influence Western citizens' thought, culture, and politics, for their own purposes. If they're not doing it already, I'd be astonished.)
Cursor kept giving me burgers without meat, without top, double wrapped, etc. I started giving it nested bullet points with amount of details roughly represent gut-felt relative volume of functions, and then the agent started macro-expanding the instructions much better. It did relocate, rename, and reorganize functions as needed. Then I could ask for fixes, manually trim extra bits, filled unmarked TODOs, to reach the desired end result.

It also seemed to do better with occasional stern instructions, like "ok but you're wrong, fix $item", than consistently teacher-student-like interactions like "Great! However, there is..." IME. I suppose students solutions are more likely to be wrong and/or less sophisticated.

The end product is on the Internet, nothing secret or inappropriate... I'm just reluctant to post "my first HTML" on HN.

The Australian Government has been hacked repeatedly, including the time Centrelink was hacked and they didn't even know they had been infiltrated (and attempted to cover it up).

Not to mention their KYC regulations led to the Optus disaster, by forcing telecoms to store PII longer than necessary.

Your position is that everyone in Australia should have their PII exposed because parental responsibility belongs with the state, as parents shouldn't be trusted to parent. It is an absolute CERTAINTY that the ID mandate will be mismanaged and be a security catastrophe.

Don't forget Australian Parliament House was hacked as well.

But this time it'll be different, right? Your position is especially egregious because it is a global ID mandate (and it'll be totally ineffective as a 10 year old can figure out a VPN).
yes, definitely. if you don't check the schedule multiple times per day, you're bound to end up in an empty classroom or missing class. at least once a week, in my high school experience, a class gets moved in time and/or place, or gets cancelled entirely.

Your argument is predicated on the idea that banning TikTok is censorship. It's not. No speech or information is being suppressed; any speech being made on TikTok can instead be made on other platforms.

This isn't like China where the government bans any services they can't control, and directs the services that they can control to suppress any information they don't want people talking about.
First published in the Metropolitan Museum Journal, vol. 56, 2021, pp.160-73.

This study focuses on artist-designed frames at the end of the 19th century, many of which are preserved in the Havemeyer collection at the Metropolitan Museum, with a particular emphasis on a material known at the time as pâte coulante, unique in its ability to render extraordinary profiles, some of which could not have been realized by any other method available at the time. Although frames in pâte coulante can be seen surrounding the works of many late 19th century and early 20th century paintings, this study refers to the few superb examples available for study in the Metropolitan Museum and in private collections, which in many cases surround works by Edgar Degas. For artists like Degas, this method became crucial for executing radical frame designs. To reinforce the argument that the process of template-cut pâte coulante granted artists and framemakers the freedom to turn any design into a reliable and serviceable moulding, replicas of period mouldings were recreated using the available historic information, and the results gleaned from this technical study are included here.
Quantum physics doesn't use normalization much and these formulas work better without normalization. Normalization can be provided by the Bayes formula, so postulating it is redundant. Also I heard QFT has some problem with global normalization, because everything must be local there, so normalization is replaced by Stokes' formula: the flux of state norm through closed spacetime surface is zero, i.e. the norm only conserves locally. And the evolution formula U(t)|0,0> = |1,t> + |2,t> can be seen as local conservation of the norm.
Bro where are you going to find statistics on the rate of actual suicides for someone who makes the claim that if they die it’s not a suicide? There are so many situations where there’s just no data or experimental evidence is impossible to ascertain and you have to use your gut. Where’s experimental evidence that the ground will still exist when you jump off the bed every morning? Use your gut. Tired of this data driven nonsense as if the only way to make any decision in this universe is to use numerical data. If you had basic statistical knowledge you’d know statistics is useless for this situation.

Complete bs. Use your common sense.

> You’re the one pulling conspiracies out of thin air despite no evidence, and you made the claim.

What claim? All I said is consider both possibilities because given the situation both are likely. You’re the one making the claim that a guy who told everyone if he died it wasn’t a suicide is totally and completely and utterly a suicide. And you make this claim based off of way to general experimental evidence collected for only a general situation. You’re the type of genius who if your friend died you’d just assume it was a car accident because that’s the most likely we to die. No need to investigate anything. Even if your friend was like if I die in the next couple days I was murdered you’d insist that it’s a car accident. Look at you and your data driven genius.
Me too, when reading "open source" I was expecting some design docs or the like.
Aside from the general confusion of the website, I haven't been able to find some of the most important information. For example, there's no diagram or immediate explanation of the general working principle and airflow path. The heat exchanger itself is published only as-is for those designs, while the author writes that he uses a custom python script tuned for the design size and his 3d printer to generate it.

When i saw this I immediately thought of studying it and reuse some of its designs for my custom use case, which does not appear to be currently possible.

At first glance it appears to be "open source" in the sense that you can buy it, but if and when something breaks you can print/reorder it easily.

Correct me if i'm wrong
