Again, probably pretty naive take (and without regard to the amount of or quality of outcomes), but when looking at the way academic research occurs, thinkers are often exposed to failures and asked to explain them or expound upon the underlying philosophy -- rather than to participate in the full engineering cycle; that can take different forms such as hands-on development, but particularly in engineering, viewed with skepticism.

I think there's even a take that you can tease the patent system as a way to profit from failing to explain ideas effectively.

Edit: maybe the consideration then is what are the roles missing? if there's a way to improve off-the-shelf model performance faster than moore, what is it? scaling to teams that specify more specialized roles; simulation, model architecture / quantization specialist, systems-level, hardware-match specialist / minimization? some sort of way to compose, or perform operations on the content of models?
I was just quoting the article. Apparently 'bespoke' saffron gets a premium?
And to the extent you mitigate some of those user complaints (as flatpak etc. are doing) you are basically re-opening the exact same holes that you developed the sandbox to get away from
I'll recite an avherald comment:

If you look at "Video of aircraft after touchdown sliding along the runway and impacting the fence:", you will find out that it took them ~1.7 sec from leaving the tarmac until they hit the construction. If you measure the distance on Google earth you come up with ~140m. That means they hit the construction with roughly 296km/h or 160 knots. If it wasn't the construction it would have been the treeline or something else. That plane was doomed, concrete construction or not.
> It seems almost impossible that nobody in the entire contentious field of physical cosmology had considered whether our current consensus models account for the relativistic effects of the (known!) large scale structure of space.

One of the authors of the present study (prof. Wiltshire) has published this idea first time already 18 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhomogeneous_cosmology#Timesc...
Most of the ads, except for those which Apple wants you to see, except for those in Apple applications, except for the fact that certain applications can not be changed because Apple controls which applications the device will use for given purposes, etcetera. Apple products remain under Apple control whether you like it or not unless they are 'jailbroken'. No, if you want as much control as possible Apple is not your friend.
Why do you think that this will not reach the market anytime soon?
MIT allows anyone to lock the project down, not just one entity, so there isn't ever anyone who can benefit more than others from a contribution.
You sound like a markov chain.
If all the externalities were priced in, the model would certainly cease to exist. Several years ago I found a UN report saying the same about business more generally. I’ve recently tried to find it again, but it seems to have been removed.
Vlang adds Windows support for hot code reloading feature
Type 1 here, a 15 min lag is fine. The constant sampling especially overnight and the multiday graphs are what I love about CGM. I've always been in decent but loose control 6.7 to 7.1 A1C (longer term measurement). After a year w CGM I got to 6.5. Now last checkup I'm at 5.9, this ties my record from my first month on Lantus insulin, never repeated in 19 years until now. Also getting numbers on phone and checking number every 15 min while driving are amazing. The stock software for Dexcom and Freestyle are both abysmal. Both refuse to allow silent mode, Dexcom has a hard 6 hours left on sensor uninteruptable alarm, woke me up at 4 am, coustomer service had nothing to say, so Goodbye. I went back to Freestyle their handheld reader is silencable and I use a third party app called Juggluco for my Android phone. Sorry I've survived 42 years on human insulin I don't want software taking over my life w unsilencable alerts. Anyone w less than 10 or 20 years OK, but my brain has extra backup pathways and I'm still functionable down to 50 (very rare), and I can recognize dimished coordination and the emotional shifts that accompany dips. Plus I have life experience to know my low time of day and to watch w exertion.
I believe I was the target of employment-flavored spear phishing a few months ago. Could have been a researcher like the OP.

- 3 new email chains from different sources in a couple weeks, all similar inquiries to see if I was interested in work (I wasn't at the time, and I receive these very rarely)

- escalating specificity, all referencing my online presence, the third of which I was thinking about a month later because it hit my interests squarely

- only the third acknowledged my polite declining

- for the third, a month after, the email and website were offline

- the inquiries were quite restrained, having no links, and only asking if I was interested, and followed up tersely with an open door to my declining

I have no idea what's authentic online anymore, and I think it's dangerous to operate your online life with the belief that you can discern malicious written communications with any certainty, without very strong signals like known domains. Even realtime video content is going to be a problem eventually.

I suppose we'll continue to see VPN sponsorships prop up a disproportionate share of the creator economy.

In other news Google routed my mom to a misleading passport renewal service. She didn't know to look for .gov. Oh well.
Memory devices were not accessed via exotic interfaces at the time. ROM was directly addressable on the bus in early PCs. They executed their ROM code directly as the access time was sufficient for low speed clocks. That is what the BIOS is. Any additional OS/BASIC environment worked the same. Later BIOS implementations had shadow RAM options to allow execution without wait states as bus speeds eclipsed ROM access times.
Thanks for that.

The paper is way overhyped. They've just built a meta material near field antenna. Nothing new I can see.

There are other papers available via Googling that glucose can be measured at around 4.2GHz. Seems hard to do it reliably, though.
You don't need any of this, and the article is completely bogus, having a port forwarded to a database in a container is not a security vulnerability, unless the database has a vulnerability. The article fails to explain how they actually got remote code execution, and blames it on some docker container vulnerability, and links to a random article as a source that has nothing to do with what he is claiming in the article.

What you have to understand is that having an immich instance on the internet is only a security vulnerability if immich itself has a vulnerability in it. Obviously, this is a big if, so if you want to protect against this scenario, you need to make sure only you can access this instance, and you have a few options here that don't involve 3rd parties like cloudflare. You can make it listen only on the local network, and then use ssh port tunneling, or you can set up a vpn.

Cloudflare has been spamming the internet with "burglars are burgling in the neighbourhood, do you have burglar alarms" articles, youtube is also full of this.
Show HN: GNC Trainer – A Landing Simulator for Tinkering with Control Systems
I built a small game where you write control algorithms to land a spacecraft in increasingly challenging scenarios.

The game starts simple - just control vertical thrust to hover. Later levels introduce rotational dynamics, thrust vectoring, and 2D movement. Each level saves your working solution for reference. The user input to be written using Rhai-script (https://rhai.rs/).

Note that it is a bit heavy at ~38MiB and may not work well on mobile.

Try it at: https://www.thomasantony.com/gnc-trainer/
Code: https://github.com/thomasantony/gnc-trainer/

The code can also be built natively and run directly on your machine.

This is something I hack on at random times and so feedback is welcome for things I can add/change. As time permits, I'm considering adding levels for more advanced concepts like precision landing and state estimation (including atmospheric flight).
IPython extension to make it work like Cursor
Bringing a plane down safely involves doing it in a way that lets you come to a stop before you crash into something that’s going to kill everyone. You don’t get points for touching a runway at a point where there isn’t enough of it left for you.

No commentary on the pilots’ role here, we don’t know nearly enough to judge. Could be they did a great job and they were just doomed. But the end result is that they didn’t get it down safely.
its really interesting how afghanistan became the world's #1 poppy producer under us occupation and it declined immediately after we left. heroin prices rose, leaving a market opportunity for fent. i still do not believe that china is necessarily the source btw. that needs proof.

you can read about an earlier iteration of us involvement in drugs in this book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Politics_of_Heroin_in_Sout...

there are infamous pictures of us soldiers guarding poppies in afghanistan during the recent occupation:

You know I think a lot of the problems is we are looking for magic when it is dull and boring around us. If all else fails, just stay at the surface and say everything is as it seems and nothing is deep or dramatic, and do nothing else but your eisenhower matrix (what’s important and urgent first, four squares on a two axis box). Because when we say nothing is magical we stop looping internally trying to find a touch of divinity when what we need is to interact with the world in a structured way to build momentum to change our environment.
Oh ok i didn’t read your comment that way. That makes sense. NLP is a form of self marketing I guess. "Sell" yourself ideas you want to buy on!
Virtual reality: Providing injured Gazans an alternative space to heal
China has had 20-50% tariffs on car imports since WTO (to protect their car industry, before it was worse!), and it has been successful: they coaxed most foreign car companies into JVs where they could transfer IP. Now that their car industry is secure, to complain about protectionism from the countries they once protected themselves from is just too hypocritical.

Likewise, if you tell me America banning tiktok is unprecedented you’ve never heard of Facebook or YouTube? Again, China has no moral high ground here. If anything, I bet the Chinese government is just wondering what took us so long.
One trick is if you open the chrome css inspector, you can click an icon next to the display: flex rule and see iconographic representation of the various flex box properties, and click them to set them. Every page essentially becomes a playground
That's no longer the case as the US no longer sends plastics to Asia under the guise of recycling.

None of this would be an issue if we put our no-longer-usable plastics in landfills where they should be.
List of 14 Major Cybersecurity Incidents in 2024
Mercedes love using Anything But Electronics; even into the 2000s they made cars with pneumatic power locks. I believe there was a philosophy that electronic running gear felt wrong.

This trend was not universal as my W260 G-Class has only electronic gear (locks windows, etc.), but I believe this was an anomaly amongst Mercedes models.
Can you clarify this a bit. I presume you are talking about the tone more than the implied statement.

If the last sentence were explicit rather than implied, for instance

This article seems to be serving the growing prejudice against AI

Is that better? It is still likely to be controversial and the accuracy debatable, but it is at least sincere and could be the start of a reasonable conversation, provided the responders behave accordingly.

I would like people to talk about controversial things here if they do so in a considerate manner.

I'd also like to personally acknowledge how much work you do to defuse situations on HN. You represent an excellent example of how to behave. Even when the people you are talking to assume bad faith you hold your composure.

You could, alternatively… just not bite down on steel.

Straws are just another utensil, I agree with OP that we could largely make do with alternate materials for them.
Dassie, the new .NET programming language I have been working on
It's actually the opposite. I thought the same thing before working in big enterprise though so I definitely understand how you could think that.

In reality everything takes 10x longer because things are done in a very thorough way and typically with significant redundancy (high availability). The code bases are typically shite and personally I'd rather eat nails than work on them, but they are reasonably well tested and changes are typically done very conservatively. Big enterprise devs are also really good at not breaking production. As much as I detest that environment, I do think startups in general could learn a great deal about not breaking production from the big enterprise people.
Climber: I've climbed about 3000' above the ground and didn't feel a drop of fear during it. And then, at the top, after removing my harness, I scooched out on a rock that lets you see all the way down what we had just climbed, and holy cow was I nervous!

I think you learn over time that you can trust the gear/ partner / your judgement and technique. But that doesn't make all fear related to climbing disappear. There are situations in which fear is appropriate and I've been quite scared in them.
Interesting points about battery partnerships. I'm curious to see how these collaborations evolve, especially with giants like CATL and BYD getting more and more vertically integrated while still being open to teaming up with Western brands.
It is already more complicated than what you said. Outcomes for some are quite good and there are tons of differences between the US and any country to adjust for.

Also, there is no country with both the best outcome and lowest price. Which balance of price and quality do you pick?
It would mean that we literally can't calculate it anymore, because expansion and everything else we see might just be artefacts of inhomogeneities beyond the scale of the observable universe. But that would crash hard with our observation of the CMB and since this study only looks at supernovae, I would not bet on it holding up for long.
Basically any YouTube video that shows another YouTube video, song, movie, etc. as part of something else (eg a voiceover.)
Netflix does $30B in revenue. Spotify over $10B. Steam estimated around $10B. Those are are services where anyone could figure out how to get the stuff for free with a few minutes of research. People pay when they perceive value.

A better way to characterize what's happening is that there is a lot of material out there that no one would ever pay for, so those companies instead try to get people's attention and then sell it.

Their bait never was and never will be worth anything. People aren't "paying with ads"; they're being baited into receiving malware, and a different group of people pay for that malware delivery.
Indeed, and for different audiences, you need to be ready to present your MIP with different levels of detail. I propose we call this new process... MIP mapping. :p

Of course it is SysEx. SysEx is to standard MIDI what inline assembler is to Python. A world of undocumented proprietary stuff lurks within just about every MIDI device !
Ask HN: Is it a bad idea to make an email domain with an uncommon TLD?
I want to make a lifelong email domain, but don't want to pay an enormous amount for a .com.

If I do a ".party" or something, will that ruin my life? Will web forms still reject it and will people always be adding ".com" whenever I tell it to them?
Which one translates best into high ticket SaaS sales?

You can respect a person without respecting their profession. I also serve the same dysfunction in much more widely respected ways, but my role is still part of the same cancer.
There are numerous past examples of this sort of thing. Automation in aviation is really hard to get right. If the automation can fail then the pilots need to be able to perform whatever it was going to do. If the automation fails rarely then the pilots may not get enough practice. But if the automation normally does a better job than the pilots, there’s a tension with letting them get more practice on real flights.

A recent(ish) example is the Asiana crash in SF. They had pretty much perfect conditions for a hand-flown visual approach, but they were out of practice, got behind the airplane, and it snowballed.

There’s an excellent lecture about this called Children of the Magenta Line. The magenta line being the flight path or direction indicator on an autopilot, and the discussion is about pilots who constantly reconfigure the autopilot to direct the plane instead of just taking over. https://youtu.be/5ESJH1NLMLs
This seems like you're trying to distract from backing up what you said with evidence. I think if you had some evidence you would have linked it already.
Your best option is to transfer all ownership of the web page out of your control to someone you trust in a territory that has better 1st amendment protections, such as the USA. I'd be happy to help with that. My email is in my profile.

It makes me sad to see the current speech protections eroding so quickly in the UK. Anything I can do to help.
Well, who knows what’s in it for the US. Trump already said that when he comes back to power he ain’t leaving (or that there will be no need to elect again, can’t remember exactly).
Code is here! Totally support any riffing on this concept.

> Seattle allowed BLM protesters to establish their own “autonomous zone” and ignored it until enough kids were killed.

I do feel like "reclaiming a public street" is slightly different from "attempted coup d'état" though.
Ah slate.com, always delivering.

You could try to bring back Teredo.

National Reconnaisance Office Patch Madness
I think the title needs 2016 since nowadays many ads transitioned from just pictures to even videos. Consisting much more than the text I read...

I would even argue this is a larger issue than the JS bloat websites are having...
Firefox mobile is great for this too. uBlock + sponsorblock + the fact that FF continues playing media when it's backgrounded make listening to long videos (like publicly recorded university lectures etc) a real breeze, it's a godsend if you like to listen to lectures while on long drives etc

Edit: ironically my post in this thread about how ads are partially enshittifying the internet, reads a bit like a sponsored endorsement for FF :-) ah well. It's still good.
No doubt there be a lot of companies who don't finish until nearly the end. Barring legal reasons, I'm guessing there will actually be an extension because enough corps won't be ready at that point. Also would expect Akamai to offer extended support beyond that date (for a significant cost) on a customer by customer basis.

Myself and my co founders have created a tool that allows users to upload any audio file where they can ask any questions of the file using our LLL. The data is only available to the user and is not used to train any models outside of the users own instance.

The platform supports setting alerts if a condition is not met, also HIPAA grade redactions. If you become a paying user you can also add documentation at the questions level to support the LLM in providing its output.

The accuracy of the transcription is 98%, the platform is ISO27001 accredited. Once registered you will receive 50 minutes of free credits and a setup guide (only takes 30 seconds).

Would very much welcome feedback etc

Thanks

My first impulse is to scream obscenities at you because I've seen this argument so many times repeated that I tend just keep quiet.. I don't think you can't understand, but I think you refuse to.

You're basically saying "oh, _YOUR_ usecase is wrong, so let's take this away from everybody because it's dangerous sometimes"

But yeah, I have many machines which would work just fine online except they can't talk to the servers anymore due to the newer algorithms being unavailable for the latest versions of their browsers (which DO support img tags, gifs and even pngs)
ADHD is a very vague diagnosis, worth it mostly to get access to medications and extra support in school, if the parents want to pursue those paths.

I would encourage the parents or some close relative to read the diagnosis in detail and explore what that means for his life. Especially study scoring related to working memory, the ability to focus, ability to communicate, and indicative IQ. He doesn't have to be good at math. Plenty of people aren't. There are lots of hobbies, lifestyles and career paths that suit people with various "disorders" and variations.

My daughter has obvious problems related to ADD, and while we haven't really solved anything yet, the most important step for me so far has been to set expectations for us as parents. I no longer care what grades she gets in classes that bore her too much, or that are based on facts she can't seem to remember. I focus more on her well-being, on improving her learning skills, and on encouraging activities for her to excel in. She has some very strong qualities, and I much prefer if she pursues them rather than setting her up to fail consistently in something she's not naturally suited for.
Rewilding the Self
That is a poor excuse - places with much worse problems have don cut and cover.
What gets me about the neoliberal ideology that's got a strangle hold on us is it studiously ignores the psychic stress and damage it's inflicting on people as if there won't be blow back eventually.

With insurance companies they are pulling this stuff right when people are at their most vulnerable state. I feel like the system is really playing with fire. And worse the people with power are intentionally isolated to the worst of it. You think a congressman or CEO gets anything denied, no they don't.
I think you should ask this to people in person. Their responses will tell you a lot more than what you are willing to hear through the computer screen.
You are a breath of fresh air on this topic.
In my view there was almost nothing like that in this article, besides the first sentence it went right into the technical stuff, which I liked. Compared to a lot of articles linked here it felt almost free from the battles between "AI" fashions.

It seems dang thinks I mistreated you somehow, if you agree I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention.
Uhhh I must not have been clear. I'm playing out whether the situations are similar enough for it to be justifiable for someone to dig into it. That was not an attempt to actually figure it out, just like I didn't actually attempt to figure out the Dittmann thing.
