Not sure which town got the prominent coverage, but here in America a lot of the coverage we saw looked like a peaceful presence, organized to allow emergency passage, and frequently we saw what looked like a fair - lots of families strolling through, eating food, adults and kids dancing, buying random things from vendors. We saw interviews with drivers who told their stories and said they were there to peacefully protest, as was their right. It’s one of the reasons, I think, that the actions by Trudeau seemed so disproportionate.

brah i beat this game in 4.5 seconds yall dont even know about the epic skip i found el oh l
ah yeah I see where I confused myself. From the links you posted, immigration still exists, but the numbers will be so low that population growth is nil. In fact the document asserts that Canada will see a decrease in population. Unless "marginal" population is some specific variant of phrase that means something beyond the ~41M population number?

> The 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan is expected to result in a marginal population decline of 0.2% in both 2025 and 2026, before returning to a population growth of 0.8% in 2027.

The more relevant thing beyond the permanent resident numbers is the temporary numbers which are also being severely cut. Often a PR is someone who has already been in the country for quite some time whereas a temporary resident would be a new immigrant.
Glad to hear that ultimately you don't hate htmx or the people that use it.

htmx is a good choice for some types of applications:

https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/

it isn't right for everything, as I try to outline here:

https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/

i think i've been open and honest about when the hypermedia approach is appropriate and when it isn't and I've been open about posting bad experiences with the library:

https://htmx.org/essays/#on-the-other-hand

populist or not, i think the htmx website holds up pretty well when compared with other libraries/frameworks with respect to honestly outlining its pros and cons
This is a great site, honestly the only thing to push it to the next level is to just polish up the styling. Aside from that it loads instantly and never had an issue clicking around.

Great work!
When discussing percentile ranks of students and their admission to top schools the school needs some way of measuring the percentile according to some measurable metric. It’s not a vibe based process. GPA and test scores are heavily leaned upon.

I would note that students who depend on AIs to answer questions on homework will do poorly on tests. I am not really sure what all the fuss is about. Kids cheating on homework is nothing new and a machine doing it for your is little different than all the other ways kids cheat on homework. And cheating on homework doesn’t help you in your grades - it hurts you because you’re unprepared for exams, which typically dominate the weighting of a grade. Then once you take a standardized placement exam you’re totally screwed.
Are you talking about the specs? The stuff on https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/ seems pretty scrutable to me.

As for "real screen readers", yeah. There needs to be a caniuse.com for assistive technology.
They tried that for weeks and it didn’t work. So what did you want them to do.
We were told it would be different and world changing because tech people with their high ideals were liberating us from all these captured institutions. We literally know and are friends with the people that were working at all of these places.

So yes, 'tech people'.
Vox has a UI reminiscent of a Windows XP skin and gobs of macOS oddities. I feel like they're still trying to catch up to macOS UI changes from 5 years ago. Don't get me started on how inaccessible the entire interface is... They have tab bound not to focus changes but to switching the, yes, tab...
Has this improved their ad targeting? In a way that shows up in the bottom line, or even the top line?
"A Squash and a Squeeze" by Julia Donaldson must be a take on that

>but at least on this one I don't think you need grounds to disbelieve stated reasons for resignation.

I don't even see a contradiction in the first place. Of course someone who perceives received orders as illegal, and feels strongly enough about it to consider resigning, would "fail to perform" those orders.
It seems foolish to interpret motives and attitudes based on old footage rather than listening to officers who were actually there. A drowning person doesn't flail around dramatically like you see in the movies.

For that matter, did any of the present officers go on to say that there was no perception of threat? The overwhelming consensus from officer interviews seems to be "we got fucked."
Helpful for cold hands too
Right. But are people paying for Gemini? Does all that vertical integration make it cheaper than its competitors? (Which is what works for SpaceX)
This is very easy to say as someone who wasn’t affected by the situation. Most people supported the federal governments decision.
What you are experiencing is the fundamental human predicament. All humans ignore it because they keep focusing on the outside - chasing money, power, fame, things. However, nothing from the outside can fix our deepest desire, the deepest restlessness. There is no way to know what you want without understanding who you are. Since you like hard things, I’ll say this - the outer journey can be hard but the inner journey is the hardest. No one can be satisfied with themselves unless they see themself clearly. The one who is looking at the world is the one who suffers. The answers lie in the observer.
It'll be a bit of both, given time the timecube comment might rise again.

I get a mixed reaction to tongue in cheek, jokey comments that I make, some rise, most fall - HN doesn't lack a sense of humour but a good many don't want to see it normalised as that tends to drag the general level downwards.
Not around in the 00s when the US federal government leaned on banks and payment processors as a way of debanking pornography businesses?

That's certainly not the norm. Where, more specifically?
Stories of harassment and assaults? Provide one source for any assault.
I don't think they're advocating not doing defer in C? They're saying you can backport the functionality if needed, or if you want to start using it now.
I have to say, as a Canadian, I kind of miss it when nobody outside of here cared what happened up here?

Now it's all "You should be a 51st state" and "Oh your Trudeau is a COMMUNIST and needs to GO!"
You shouldn't be putting so much stock in memes.
Since I recently felt the limitations of the A* algorithm in my LIVE project, I am planning to proceed with this attempt.
As a result of discussing with many AIs, it was difficult to find existing cases.
As far as I have reviewed extensively, I have come to the conclusion that the A* algorithm also involves a lot of unnecessary computations, so I am trying to minimize such computations themselves.
Since I am continuously running the service in LIVE, I believe I will be able to thoroughly verify its performance.
For reference, the current LIVE service is utilizing a Mini PC equipped with an N100 CPU.
This is also an attempt to achieve performance based on minimal specifications.

Top speed (mostly) comes from the tracks, not the method of motive power.

As it stands they're already maxing out and exceeding (when they're late) the max speed for the class of rail they have.

Some of the inner stops might get a few seconds faster with better acceleration but that's about it.

The grade crossings are also kinda f'd. At full speed you can be in the middle of the train and see the arms still be in the process of lowering at certain crossings. That ain't safe. Faster won't make that better.
Instagram Begins Randomly Showing Users AI-Generated Images of Themselves
The protest did not have popular support amongst the general population. If police support a fringe movement that's an everybody problem.
Well 1) she's 11 years old and is ineligible to create her own account and 2) she needs a credit card, which is pretty easy to control.
It's not as if Canadians are any more reserved about their nth-hand opinions about Trump. Speaking as a Canadian here.
The photo editing site was "MetaAI", the display site was Instagram.

They may have the same parent, but are distinct entities.
Thanks for the detailed write up, really interesting examples you have there - sounds like you are working on some interesting projects!

These are all good things to keep in mind for me. I haven't had any experience with Rust yet, and only a few months with C.

The convoy was largely funded by right wing American groups, so it’s not surprising they received favourable media coverage.
Thing is that Canada already had the mandate delayed once by request to the US prior to it coming into effect, I believe it was 6 months delayed already.

The level of vitriol reserved for Trudeau on this topic is strange, considering it was US-driven policy.

Also strange considering the vast majority of "vaccine mandate" policy in Canada was provincial in jurisdiction, and the federal gov't only had control over ports and borders, so really didn't do much on the "mandate" file outside of that.

The reality is that this convoy was targeted for Ottawa and the Canadian govt because that govt was seen as weak and more easily undermined. The chief organizers are far right radicals whose previous involvements had been around protesting climate change initiatives and in favour of the oil and gas sector ("yellow vest" convoy in favour of pipelines and stuff)

The same kinds of protests done on the US side would have been met with far more severe consequences.
kind of an interesting question -- are product nudges ads? like when there's a button to use a paid feature which pops up on top of a different button, is it an ad? it's not third party.
I've seen it used countless times before, but I thought it was something somehow being injected into the page by a search engine (especially when it comes from custom site searches on forums), rather than a browser feature.
Hehe yes, much like how one glass of red wine a day is just so beneficial for your health.
Open software licenses are generally non-revokable (unless you violate them). They can only change the license of future versions.

I'm afraid that they can always do that with or without a CLA. Apache is quite a permissive license.
I never understood the appeal of being calm. It's fucking boring. Since early childhood I needed extra stimulation: first I'd listen to mom reading stories while I was playing with toys, then at school I'd listen to the teacher while playing games on my PSP. That allowed my brain to stay engaged. Now I just finished an exhausting day - I lay on the sofa, put on some music, have a slideshow on my computer screen, play this game. After finishing it, I'm feeling relaxed and tired in a way "now I'm ready to go to sleep". A friend of mine jokes that I have a motor in my ass because I can't sit still, whenever we meet I want to keep walking around, just for the sake of not sitting in one place.

I honestly think that high-stimulation is a great thing, as long as we use it to our advantage, instead of being hindered by it. The essence of life is doing things against the natural forces of inanimate physics, rather than sitting and doing nothing. The more you do, the more you live. The absolutely worst feeling in my life that I battle as an adult is being tired, when my mind and body refuse to do high-stimulation activities, and I end up just laying in bed the entire day.
I crossed North America four times in my twenties before I had a kid. I was a teacher, and rode west to east for two summers. Then I quite my job, and circled North America on a bike. It was the best choice I ever could have made.

I'd have a hard time riding across the country now just because my kid is still in school. But when he's out on his own, I'd like to do one more cross-country ride. I want to see how much has changed, but more importantly what has stayed the same.
Competing with what? Homework is usually the minority of grade weight in almost every course and college entrance is largely based on entrance exams. Using AI to cheat on homework only cheats the students ability to complete and exam, let alone an entrance exam.

People act as if cheating on homework is new with LLms. It’s not. The homework is there to guide you towards the exam, and exams are generally proctored to prevent cheating in ways homework is explicitly not. Generally teachers grade homework to create an incentive for students to practice rigorously for the in course and final exams. Any student who doesn’t avail themselves of that practice invariably flunks their exams. Your homework grade won’t help you then.

So who cares? Sooner or later the cheating student either learns why it doesn’t pay to cheat or suffers the life consequences of not learning in school. This isn’t new with LLMs.

What is new is you have a tool that you can get advice from on topics that are difficult or even get up front grading and advice on homework before turning it in that helps you master the material better. Students who use this will be able to master the material faster, even if their parents both work and can’t invest the time to tutor their children at night.

(N.b., The threads here imply every parent works at a cushy tech job and has plenty of time to be invested in their kids education and any parent who isn’t is negligent - while the truth is many are just struggling to make ends meet - as my parents did … I didn’t get the investment my daughter gets not because they didn’t care but because they were busy feeding me and keeping us from being homeless. I would have loved to have ChatGPT help me as a kid)
Sort of.

It’s merely a ROM drive implemented in the BIOS. Drive 8 is used.

There’s also an INT 18h hook that operates by simply booting drive 8. This is the fallback bootstrap hook. No disks? No problem. Boots to DOS vs. IBM which booted BASIC or everyone else who just prints an error.

On one of these Tandy’s, DOS is really running from RAM, it is merely loaded from ROM, and even then it’s just a virtual disk.

I wrote a little tool to make the ROM drive accessible on non-Tandy DOS:
https://github.com/dfelliott/tandy1000-romdrive

There are versions of DOS that can be run directly from ROM, but this isn’t one of them.

Curiously, Deskmate runs from ROM for real. Meaning the code is actually running in the Exxx segment backed by the actual ROM chip. The Deskmate files on the ROM drive are relatively small and are only a small part. The bulk of the code runs direct from ROM.
Interesting, I'm making a Desktop Application for both an Audio Engineering project and a Graphics project, both in C (SDL3 and GTK4.0), but I don't care about portability at all.

There's not really even any solid evidence that Trump was hit with shrapnel.

The Greatest Tech Scam in History [video]
One can use C's `cleanup` attribute like a defer. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attribute...

The function signature is `void(MyType*)` if it is used like:

__attribute__((cleanup(MyTypeCleanupFunction)))
MyType myType;

If it's a pointer, it'll call the cleanup as a double ptr, and etc.
Note that the specified cleanup function can do anything you want to, though the intended purpose is to cleanup the variable when it goes out of scope.
I respectfully doubt that: many east Africans grown with their traditional meal loves rice and beans if cooked well. I think there’s a lot about habits and parents mimicking. Sure they loves chicken, but beans too.

There’s also that study where they feed a mother cat with food that contains brocolis perfume When then kitties got weaned they prefer brocolis than fish. (I can’t find it back on google sorry, perhaps it was another legume)
no one cares about how the food arrives to their plate, only that it's there.

Gentle Introduction to Using a Vector Database
Pointless remark about myself, but I always set my phone's clock to second precision (I think this setting is hidden somewhere, or even needs a third-party app to unlock), and I am annoyed there's no way to do this on the lockscreen. How is it possible that nobody else (apparently) wants it, and it's not the Android default? Why would I want a clock that is, on average, a half minute off?
Although I have some skepticism at the author once he got to the Yelp rant- I don't know what he expected when he used services that subsidize consistent demand.

I regularly patronize a cash only business off the grid for take out, and I talk to the owner and they are content with their business being small as it is. He makes great food, I pay for and eat it, simple as.

If he wanted to make a restaurant concept that prioritized slow, thoughtful eating. He could very well have done so.

The one thing that I will agree with him wholeheartedly however is the fact that many products like DoorDash or Uber Eats are staffed by engineers/PMs who don't care to do anything except to follow the data. To them, as they turn a knob too far in one direction, they tend to crush people in the process. It's very hard to build a product for users you can't really empathize with.

Best of luck to the author, there is a reason why the restaurant business chews as many people out as it lets in.
> They have the incentive, but not the technical capability or trust for line level staff to be able to login to the business’s Apple or Google account and change the hours.

I've never really thought we had something resembling a safety net, just a variety of social services that are theoretically available, but only to varying degrees and mostly not in rural areas, which seems to be one of the defining schisms of the last century whether it's suburban -> normal urban or rural -> urban.

On one hand, I guess your tragic situation is exactly what I'd expect private home insurance to cover, aside from burglary and other natural disasters, but on the other it's becoming an annual occurrence anywhere west of Calgary, and like many other tragedies, massive holes are being exposed in the artificially scarce and super inflated stock of available housing in any given area; living in a town in a national park is somewhat exceptional on every front, but having literally no backup plan if a whole town disappears is revealing of comically inept levels of government. I know some Lytton residents! are also basically camping, waiting on help from the province that may never come.

That is to say, some parts of our social service systems and economy work—or at least aren't horribly broken—if and only if nothing unexpected happens or we don't grow or shrink population wise or culturally at all. There's basically no margin.

One could say things would be better with more money, but that's just a matter of degree, it's not like GDP going up would automatically prevent displacement or create more doctors, it would just give individuals a bit more leverage potentially when something bad happens. We desperately require better feedback loops tied into the bedrock of our society, better incentives.
The classic answer to any question like this at Google was "but does it have the same level of profitability as ads?" This was commonly cited as a reason Google shouldn't get into several different areas (cloud being one). I kid you not, one of the most common arguments I had when I joined google was that google was late to the cloud, the response was always "we have a cloud, it's called borg" and "we have a cloud, it's called appengine" while I'd have to explain to people that there was an entire market of people who wanted to "import numpy" on 128-core machines.

Another answer is that Google has quietly dominated industrial AI for some time; few people talk about SmartASS, or Rephil or SETI , and most modern ML folks would barely recognize Sibyl, yet those products help Google grow Ads into a monster business. YouTube (Watch Next) and Android (Play Store) both have Sibyl to thank for rapid growth at a critical time. Google played a big role in bringing around modern deep learning (voice recognition, language modelling) and is one of the largest, if the not the largest, industrial deep learning research publishers.

Another answer is that while google vends access to TPU thru cloud, it's a tricky product to maintain and sell for external users, and to keep the product affordable, they are making some very serious decisions about how much gets used internally vs. deployed (an Ads job running on a TPU is likely more valuable than a customer job running on a TPU) with massive capital expenditures on hardware and facilities that affect their earnings and profits.

Yet another answer is, Google is one of the largest resellers of access to nvidia GPUs but they don't dominate because they entered this business a bit late and their competitors (amazon and microsoft) are excellent at selling products to enterprise and at buying large piles of GPUs and running facilities.

I just don't think it's in Google's DNA to be highly profitable outside of a few businesses- a search page for ads, ads in videos, ads in applications, ads around the internet, etc, and it's unlikely to change any time soon, because their top leadership doesn't know how to cultivate new products (stadia and google+ being two particularly egregious examples).
I ran my personal risk profile through qcovid.org and it spat out a 1 in 80,000 chance of death and 1 in 3,000 chance of hospitalization. Any notion of taking a rush-to-market vaccine went out the window at that point. And before someone says "well what about your obligations to others?", my obligation was to my kids, to stay healthy and able to earn a living.
FYI, the "large" increase in immigration was driven by the provinces, Ontario's conservative government in particular. The provinces control the number of seats in colleges and Doug's government froze domestic tuition rates, pushing colleges to turn to international students. Now, the province also approved almost every request for international students.

The Feds can't step in sad say "no". The immigration problem is largely on the provinces. The Federal immigration numbers have grown much more slowly.
This is the greatest thing I've seen in a few years. Perfectly encapsulates the simulacrum we find ourselves in the modern world.
Yeah, I balance them now.

You gotta find someone to talk to.

In my case, I talk with my mother-in-law every time she's here.

Currently I'm transcribing some of her diary entries on the first day of my son's arrival.
That kind of behavior can happen at the threshold of Hypothesis' internal limit on entropy - though if you're not hitting HealthCheck.data_too_large then this seems unlikely.
