> Silence can’t be used against you.
> Conflating that with trumped up charges is irrelevant to that point.

They're two sides of the same coin. Let's say you are being accused of crime X, and you know you're innocent of it, and can prove it, because your spouse did it/you were hooking up with a congressman on grindr at the time/you were doing something else illegal you don't want to admit to/you believe the US justice system is fair and impartial.

The sentencing for said federal crime is N years. The prosecution charging you with crime X, plus Y plus Z with a potential max sentence of M years, or you can take a plea for N-2 years".

It all boils down to "are you willing to gamble spending M (where M >>>> N-2) years in prison based on an accusation designed to intimidate you".
Faxing... So very convenient!

We have to personally take the paper orginals to various offices around the city, wait hours in a queue, get another paper document, go make copies, assemble another folder and go to yet another office/institution.
HyDE is the way to go! Just ask the model to generate a bunch of hypothetical answers to the question in different formats and do similarity on those.

Or even better, as the OP suggests standardise the format of the chunks and generate a hypothetical answer in the same format.
Are you sure the "any amount" generalization is true? I know in Switzerland of money confiscated at border control for simple suspicion, but we are talking (tens of) thousands. Although there's a certain obligation of declaration those people always "forget", that situation stays shitty, but in any case it's a very very far cry from "any amount".
There is still an implicit "othering" of other children. They are in one camp and yours are in another. If they have any semblance of imagination as kids do, they will dream up reasons beyond the one you gave them
>So basically you think taxes should have been set higher a long time ago so they would have a yearly surplus that could have been saved up to pay for a new roof?

Yes.

Simply put: If you can't or won't budget+save for a known future expense, I'm not giving you money to pay for it when it comes knocking.

>But then what happens when you reach that and the roof turns out to actually still be fine?

Save what's in there for when the roof really hits end of usable life and either: A) Keep adding to the fund if it's justifiable, or B) Remove the line item from the budget and reduce or reallocate the budget accordingly.

We're not talking about RNGesus throwing down a randomass thunderbolt at the school and blasting a randomass hole through it on a randomass Thursday. We know reasonably when the roof will need replacing for an absolute fact, and at least a ballpark estimate how much it will cost.

Fiscal discipline goes a long way to convincing me to pay (more) taxes.
Hmm, not 100% sure this is a dark pattern so much as it is idiotic design. I remember it being quite common for sites to hide the real checkbox/radio button and use a custom component for it, since the former were difficult to style via CSS alone.

It being removed from the tab order and being inaccessible to keyboard users is awful, but that could easily be poor engineering where accessibility has been completely neglected. Which itself is sadly a common problem online.
But it is a left/right issue : this obviously wouldn't have happened in a socialist country. (You would still have had issues with higher status people sometimes getting much better healthcare of course.)

The problem here is that people confuse left/right with Democrat/Republican and seem to think that Trump is on the right just because he used the Republican party : he is no more on the right than the Nazis, who deployed both left leaning and right leaning policies when those suited them.
In the game betwen China and the US, the legal status and 'allegiance' of TSMC is not relevant. What is relevant is who controls the fabs, i.e. where the fabs are physically located.

It is also naive to think that governments (US and especially ROC/Taiwan) do not have influence over TSMC. This sort of thing is not necessarily measured by level of shareholding.
> The islands are Chinese.

"In June 2008, a TVBS poll found that 68% of the respondents identify themselves as "Taiwanese" while 18% would call themselves "Chinese".[33] In 2015, a poll conducted by the Taiwan Braintrust showed that about 90 percent of the population would identify themselves as Taiwanese rather than Chinese.[34]" [1]

Just like everything else, it depends. I moved from the US to Europe mostly because I didn’t have the patience to deal with the H1B visa nonsense. However, Europe feels kind of dead compared to the US. For instance, I had more job opportunities in Columbus, Ohio, than in Berlin, Germany, and there’s no way around that.

People often overlook the advantage of having a universal language. One reason Europe struggles to attract top talent is language fragmentation. I don’t know anyone excited about learning French just to get a tech job in Paris. But I do know plenty of folks who’ve moved to North America simply because there’s no language snobbery there.

Beyond that, the level of investment in the US is on another scale—the comparison isn’t even close. You’ve got to live and work there to fully understand it. So when I hear my European colleagues talking out of their asses, I can’t help but find it hilarious. That said, San Francisco wouldn’t be my first choice. Personally, I’d go for New Jersey or Atlanta—East Coast, but not the insanely expensive parts of it.
I don't think Android does that. It's only Google Photo and only if you upload them to the cloud, if you don't sync/upload them, you can't search them with specific terms.
Would you, or anyone else, be interested in ffmpeg in the cloud?

Connect credit card, open a web UI, send the command, the files, and eventually get the output?
Possibly. Though I think relying on any China based services is a poor choice, since the US government will be just as likely to try and block/restrict them for similar reasons to TikTok.

Honestly surprised we haven't seen any European, South American, African, etc developed social apps take off given the privacy and moderation concerns. Or apps based in Asian countries other than China.

I mean, given his profile, I think it would actually be far more damaging for Facebook if he _did_ silently drop them without giving a reason. It's usually a _super_ bad sign if your lawyer fires you for no stated reason; people would read into it. He's perfectly correct to clarify that it's for a reason unrelated to the case.
That's cool, actually I didn't know about this one :)
Perhaps the helium price is right, but argon is certainly much cheaper.

That price of argon might be per cubic meter, not per liter.

The price of argon is essentially zero for the argon itself, which forms one percent of the air. What you pay is only the energy required to separate it from dioxygen and dinitrogen, e.g. by liquefaction and distillation.

EDIT:
Googling now, I see prices for argon around half of dollar per kilogram.

A cubic meter of argon has slightly less than 1.8 kg, so the price of argon is at most 1 $ per cubic meter.

A liter is one thousand times less than a cubic meter, so the price per liter is one tenth of a cent.

If you ask, "Is '5+5' similar to '10'?" it depends on which notion of similarity you have - there are multiple differences: different symbols, one is an expression, the other is just a number. But if you ask, "Does '5+5' evaluate to the same number as '10'?" you will likely get what you are looking for.

"1982 U.S.-PRC Joint Communiqué/Six Assurances

As they negotiated establishment of diplomatic relations,
the U.S. and PRC governments agreed to set aside the
contentious issue of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. They took
up that issue in the 1982 August 17 Communiqué, in which
the PRC states “a fundamental policy of striving for
peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, and the U.S.
government states it “understands and appreciates” that
policy. The U.S. government states in the 1982
communiqué that with those statements “in mind,” “it does
not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to
Taiwan,” and “intends gradually to reduce its sale of arms
to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final
resolution.” The U.S. government also declares “no
intention” of “pursuing a policy of ‘two Chinas,’” meaning
the PRC and the ROC, “or ‘one China, one Taiwan.’”"

Doom does that by default. The background of the main menu features actual gameplay from a bundled demo file.
I should have been a bit more specific: as all-GOP-American as possible.

Imported workers are just fine, even though that is not something you'd derive from many a campaign speech, particularly for specialist workers as vaguely defined by the H1B system which have an indirect benefit of adding a bit of brain-drain friction to potentially competing companies in other economies, as well as shoring up the effect of temporary local skills deficiencies.

But work being done in non-American jurisdictions where the regulatory demands of other governments might affect how an American company can gouge out a profit is what causes upset. That and other regulatory demands suggesting SM companies make effort to crack down on some of the “free to speak hate” problems, which the current powers-that-be that side of the pond don't actually see as problems. Or simply that work being done elsewhere is money going into someone else's economy ‑ while many H1B workers will be sending some money back to family elsewhere, they won't be sending most of it as they need to clothe themselves, eat, pay rent, have a few luxuries, etc.

You might want to calculate the probabilities on that. The majority of kids are shot in or around their home, not school.
Podcasts are popular enough high engagement content. Here engagement is mostly watch time. As such algo pushes those videos that have been recently watched a lot. Recently being popular is also other mechanic that seems very common.
That is quite irrelevant in addition to being misleading.
> because there's a good reason not to trust the experts

I hate this. Where else do we get knowledge from if not experts and academics in their fields? That's how humans grow our collective knowledge. People learn, gather evidence, build knowledge and then share it. The people who have done the learning over many years are called "experts". Those are the people I want to learn from, no?

> conservative "evidence based" movement

Evidence should not be political. You can either prove something, or you cannot. It is neither conservative, nor liberal.
Even if bullying is common (say, every school or even every class experiences some bullying), that doesn't necessarily make it a very common experience for those who go through school (the majority of children in a class will neither be bullies nor bullied).
Android doesn't do this. Everything is opt-in.

Granted they require you to opt-in in order for the photos app to be usable & if you go out of your way to avoid opting in they make your photo-browsing life miserable with prompts & notifications. But you do still have to opt-in.
HTML had this in the form of the URN attribute on A tags and HTML tags.
The neat thing about science is that all the explanations have to fit together. The explanation for why the sun shines so bright for so long can't contradict the explanation for why birds can fly. When you reject an explanation as fundamental as evolution and the ages of the earth you really put yourself at a disadvantage in understanding many other things.

I actually had a young earth creationist say that the sun doesn't use fusion and thus its lifespan is more in line with the creationist worldview and I responded with neutrinos emitted from the fusion reactions in the sun.

> Evaluation is completely pure (at least with flakes, which disallows querying environment variables, etc.). Evaluation of derivations will result in .drv files in the store, but that does not add impurity to the language itself. Building the .drv is a separate step (instantiation).

If import-from-derivation is enabled (it normally is, it's a very useful feature, and the foundation of flakes), then some derivations need to be built to complete the evaluation.

https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.25/language/import-from-derivat...

Even then functions like "readFile" are considered to be pure in nix, but not in haskell.

> If I am not mistaken, this is how Guix started - they evaluated derivations defined in scheme to .drv files and then let the Nix daemon build them

IIRC it still works that way; there's no real reason to change. Scheme isn't purely functional though (and the guix programming model is clearly imperative), so it doesn't have this mismatch.

> And we are told this is freedom.

I think we pretty much universally agree that mandatory schooling is preferable to the alternative, do you really think an illiterate populous is preferable? So yes actually that is freedom. Society guarantees that you will not be illiterate just because your parents were crack addicts, I think that's a good thing.
This article resonated with me and OP was able to clearly articulate what I have been feeling pretty much my entire life. It’s probably not as extreme as OP makes it sound but it’s there.
Enough to make you feel defeated. The dreaded feeling of “yeah we are going to be so f*cked 100 years from now” because no one gives a shit. In Japan this feeling transforms into optimism and hope because people generally do care and take things seriously. It has given me the strength to care and try to do my best. The power not be an asshole to the person next to me. The ability to see the bigger picture.
Time to switch back to ordinary json from oj then
It's nice to hear that! And from this thread, it is not us only two—otherwise, the title wouldn't have resonated with the Hacker News community.

This blog post stemmed from my frustration that people use cosine distance without a second thought. In virtually all tutorials on vector databases, cosine distance is treated as if it were some obvious ground truth.

When questioned about cosine similarity, even seasoned data scientists will start talking about "the curse of dimensionality" or some geometric interpretations but forget that (more than often) they work with a hack.

The reason the US defence budget is so sky-fucking-high is because we effectively pay for everyone's military, though.

I doubt the other budget line items would see an increase with defence cuts, but we certainly don't need the entire defence budget for just our own sake. America doesn't need 11 nuclear aircraft carriers or nearly 2500 F-35s, among other excesses.

Also: Attitudes like yours sincerely make me want to see America First pushed more literally to the point of leaving those who don't appreciate us to fend for themselves. Japan, EU, and so on.

Obama already declared we aren't the world police anymore, for better or worse.

On sex, sex is healthy, but you need contraceptives.

Alcohol it's a drug, with a literal letal withdrawal (delirium tremens). That's right. But I can't agree with your prudeness on sex.

I wish the American people began behaving like Europeans where sex is not taken like a drug or something harmful at all since decades.

If any, pregnancies are a thing because of the lack of sex education and safe learning/practicing.

In 1995, I started with a personal website based on HTML. Since then, I have added a little bit of CSS to the home page, but all the other files are in plain HTML. For that reason it looks very old school, but that is okay with me.

I have been adding some JavaScript through the years. Some for generating content, some for graphics and animations. I also have written a C program for checking the HTML and all the internal links and the use of tags. The program places all updated files into a folder ready for upload with FTP.

To edit the HTML, I use an editor (based on Crystal Edit) that also can navigate HTML files: when pressing F5 on a link, it opens the file in the editor (or in the default browser when it is an external link), and if there a tag in the link, positions the cursor at that line.

I'm using very niche mouse nowadays - Bloody. Weirdly they work ok, they have (IMHO) good parameters, if you are not a gaming master race. I was using two of them, each for 3 years and changed only because I lost replacement for the "legs". Also the first one started to loose some material on the button - probably because of cleaning spray I was using.

Anyways, forward PE ratios are generally lower right now (Alphabet for example has a forward PE of 22, current is at 25). There may be a lot of explanations regarding this situation, but globally it either implies worse macro economic conditions, or a decrease in revenues and/or profits, some high one-shot costs/loss to take into account (legal or structural), or most generally it can also reveal that current stock price is too high and some correction will happen.

Given the current situation, I bet it says that stock is overpriced/valued.
