There's a lot of connections between a lot of people. Obama tried to secretly transmit a promise to Putin that he would "have more flexibility" after his election. How do we know it wasn't Obama who colluded with Putin? It was his whitehouse overseeing the 2016 election. Why doesn't any fact checkers check that fact and come up with "inconclusive" because they are unable to prove it false? Because it's political.

Trump Putin election hacking collusion was always a wild baseless conspiracy theory. Sure there is no absolute proof he did not, and there is various incidental connections and circumstantial evidence you could arrange to fit some crazy narrative. But what it not in dispute is that many people lied and mislead claiming to have "ample evidence" of collusion, when no such thing was ever produced.
Sort of?

I remember instructions from a magazine on how to enter a line of BASIC code, then peek at a particular series of locations in memory, write those down, then make use of that code in lieu of the original BASIC code inside the original BASIC program --- used it for loops inside a game for updating the screen and polling the keyboard.

To put it very simply, the trick is that while the others train a new model for each problem, TabPFN is pre-trained to handle any kind of problem on the fly.

To draw a parallel to NLP: previously people trained a neural network for each kind of text classification they wanted to do, but then LLMs came around that pre-trained to learn to perform new tasks on the fly.
Similarly, TabPFN learns to do new tasks on the fly just from the context (dataset) given.

Training and prediction in these models is by default one and the same, similar to how the prediction of the next token in an LLM is not split into learning from context and then doing the actual prediction.
There is a way to split this even up, though, then the predictions, I believe, take something like 1/10s for medium-sized datasets.

Being trapped in the MS BASIC window was _incredibly_ limiting for anything which was constrained by screen real estate --- starting out with only 512 x 342 and subtracting the menubar didn't leave much even for applications which weren't so constrained.
I think a laptop is a good form factor for this. I just with the screen would stretch horisontal instead of vertical.

Author here: The new introduction of attention between features did make a big impact compared to the first variant of TabPFN. The old model handled every feature like it was completely different to be feature 5 vs 15, but actually features are typically more-or-less permutation invariant. So the logic is similar to why a CNN is better for images than an MLP.
The compromise is bandwidth and data rate. 802.11ah operates in the 900MHz band.
Yes, there are normalizations applied before the features are fed to the neural network. Additionally, the neural network is trained on a very diverse set of artificial datasets.

The latter. NIMs is Nvidia's umbrella branding for proprietary containerized AI models, which is being pushed hard by Jensen. They build models and containers, then push them to ngc.nvidia.com. They then provide reference architectures which rely on them.

> I have faith that UW leadership will make it right in the end

As you will soon learn, having faith in any of these big institutions will lead to disappointment. Having faith in people you know personally is one thing, but this is a group of people you don't know who are missing incentives to do right by you. The best thing you can do is what you've already done, which is showing people the discrepancy from what they say and how they act. This will save others with similar misconceptions about UW being a reasonable organization from attending.

The thing is, ISBNs aren't hierarchical --- they are bought in blocks (or even individually at an exorbitant markup, says the guy who bought one to reprint a single book), so this doesn't show anything really interesting/useful.

The fact that capitalism can be modeled by pure random chance only drives the point home, in my opinion. So much depends on luck...

- recognizing potential opportunities and taking advantage of them

That being said, I'm by no means "successful" but I'm also not a "failure" ... I win some, and I lose some.

Based on what you said you have enjoyed already, I'd highly recommend "A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid and the Kodak Patent War" by Ronald K. Fierstein (http://www.triumphofgenius.com/).

It is a history of Land and Polaroid, together with a detailed, insider's view of the long-running litigation between Polaroid and Kodak (the author worked at the firm which represented Polaroid on the case).

One of the things I found most interesting was just how much Steve Jobs was inspired by and copied Edwin Land.

You originally claimed that:

> Denying healthcare is not violence.

Now you say:

> That’s my point: this is necessarily the case, so it cannot be automatically “violence” when that happens.

You're going in circles around an argument that you made up yourself. Do you want a pat on the back?

> I think that this is simply empirically false. You cannot just assert something like this, you need to provide evidence for it.

Now read that out back again loud.

> Again, you are asserting something that’s far from being universally agreed on.

I said: "It's not a matter of awareness, the public knows". That cannot be read as "universally agreed on" in good faith.

> Public healthcare systems have their troubles too, and if you ask anyone with experience with both, you will not find people universally preferring their public experience.

I never claimed public healthcare is perfect, on the contrary.

You will find rich people preferring private healthcare, which are a vocal minority.

> Ask Canadians or Brits how long it takes to get a visit at a specialist, for example.

I don't have to ask nobody because I live in a country with fully public healthcare. I am glad that poor people have the same access as rich people, and that triage by urgency, not money, works well (again not claiming that it's perfect, since you give everything your own meaning).

The USA on the other hand are infamous for the healthcare bankruptcy and literal horror stories. I think you don't realize how non-existant your safety net is. It only works well for you when you don't have a major health problem, and while you have a relatively very good paying job.
One of the fun things about reading Young Stalin, which is a biography of Stalin from birth to the Russian revolution, is nobody liked him in Georgia where he grew up, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union, so it was easy for the biographer to get sources to tell all the negative and horrifying details of his earlier life building and running organized crime gangs to fund the Russian revolution. Imagine the most paranoid narcissistic jerks you've ever known who also happen to be exceptionally intelligent decide to take over a country and they manage to pull it off. Fascinating stuff.
I see your point, but from the perspective of the Android phone, this is already a backup. This is because if I lose the phone, I can restore the important parts of its state from the copy on the server - which is the definition of a backup, according to Wikipedia for example.

Now, of course, we can look at more stringent approaches to backing up data, which I already do, but for some reason I didn't elaborate on the original comment. My home server uses ZFS as storage, and I snapshot that from time to time, and I sync those snapshots to another, otherwise offline ZFS storage. The true 3-2-1 I still don't achieve, because both the online and the offline copies are at the same site, but I opted to take this risk.

> sure, but that is sadly how world politics works. if the US expands nato right to the border of russia then they retaliate. ukraine fought a war against their own citizens in the eastern half when they sympathized with opening up to russia - a majority there perceives themselves as russians.

This is not some "nuanced view", but blatantly wrong Russian propaganda:

1. The notion of "the US expands NATO" is ridiculously wrong. In Central and Eastern Europe, getting into NATO is considered the holy grail of foreign policy. Since the end of the Cold War, it has been regarded as the top goal in foreign policy (along with the EU membership), because nobody wants to return to being unfree prisoners under Russian rule in severely stagnating dictatorships, from which European nations broke free only 35 years ago.

2. I stress: Central and Eastern Europe passionately wants into the pact that would help to defend them in case of another Russian invasion. Sweden even abandoned its 200 years of neutrality and entered the pact. Trying to depict this as some kind of American initiative is plain wrong.

3. Existing members had refused to invite Ukraine into NATO in 2008 and the topic of Ukraine's entry into NATO was completely off the table by the time of Russian invasion in 2014.

4. There was no "war against their own citizens" in Eastern Ukraine. The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that the entire thing was a covert Russian special operation, directly under Russian military command. Their verdict is long and gives a really good overview.

The entire war is about as complicated as the invasion of Poland and France. Just plain naked aggression by a totalitarian dictatorship that first crushed all internal opposition, then turned outwardly expansionist. History has seen many such examples.
We can define violence as “that guy hit that guy,” and leave it at that and you’d be right. I think this alternative view is a recognition that a lot of other behaviors look very similar in how they work, like when the slumlord chains the emergency fire exit and a family burns alive because of it (an extreme example, but I do recall reading about a case along those lines). I feel like calling that sort of thing violence perpetrated by the slumlord is accurate to everyone but the pedant. It captures the essence of the behavior to me, this bringing about of great personal harm through either malice or sociopathic apathy.

Show HN: ReelWorld – Generate professional marketing videos using AI presenters
I built ReelWorld (https://reelworld.io) because traditional video marketing was too expensive and time-consuming for most businesses. Instead of spending thousands on video production or hours filming yourself, you can now generate professional videos using AI presenters in minutes.

The platform lets you choose from pre-made presenters, input your script, and get back a polished video. We focused heavily on making the AI presenters look and sound natural, avoiding the uncanny valley effect that plagues most AI video tools.

Would love feedback from the HN community, especially on:
- Use cases you'd want to see
- Technical challenges you're curious about
- Features that would make this more useful

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation.

Oh, yeah? Psychiatrist, are you? Like, why do you believe this?

I'll tell you why you believe this, it is because you have been told to believe it. By pretty much the same people who were telling people to believe the same thing about gay people in the 90s and noughties. Like, it's fucking incredible how gullible a lot of people are about this. The transphobic propaganda you are being fed is, largely, a copy-and-paste of the homophobic propaganda from a few decades ago. Perhaps look a bit more carefully.

Show HN: Auto Iterate – Iterative Calculations on Excel Startup
I recently created an Excel add-in that enables iterative calculations when Excel is launched. This solves the recurring problem where Excel forgets to keep iterative calculations enabled when all background processes have been closed.

Acknowledging that there are ways to enable iterative calculations in VBA, this add-in is for users that would rather use the Excel add-in GUI and avoid coding/macro-enabled workbooks altogether.

I'm new to posting on HN, so if you have any feedback on the add-in or this post, I'm keen to hear it - whether good or bad. Thanks everyone!

> I agree that basic concepts are simple and straightwordard

I do too and I believe the problem with git is that it's somewhat usable without grasping even these basic concepts - until the day it isn't, as something goes off the beaten path and you just end up getting lost. It also doesn't really nudge you towards understanding as you keep using it; to the contrary - it happily lets you build some suboptimal mental models that are doomed to stop working at some point.

The only way to learn git well right ahead is to sit down and read. It isn't much to learn, but most people just skip this step and go straight to CLI. I can't blame them, I did the same many years ago, so it took me much longer to actually know what I'm doing than it should as well. But the thing is: I didn't know better back then, nobody told me that. Now you (the reader) know, so you have no excuse :)

I've noticed various TV's/TV networks dropping pause/rewind etc and even making the off switch hard to access; it feels as if they want more control for them (and less for the consumer). Especially given the financial clout of the advertising business, anything that allows users to pause and fast-forward through ad breaks would be in their crosshairs.

It reminds me of loopback recording on soundcards disappearing; if I'm not mistaken that was directly due to industry pressure.

Tactility appears to be built on top of FreeRTOS.

FreeRTOS itself is very barebones, a library that provides basic memory management, task scheduling, io and a TCP stack, but not, for example, an abstraction layer for screen, keyboard or other peripherals, or the concept of running user applications.
