Anything by Emily Short has really good writing and prose. They vary greatly by length too. I think she mainly writes for commercial projects these days, so I haven't seen a release in awhile of just something for fun.

The HDMI Forum most likely does have a say about a corporation's implementation, or for allowing the protected hardware to be used.

But that likely leaves space for specs and keys to be leaked, read out, reverse engineered or worked around at some point. Not by AMD themselves.

What's the population of all these US counties? I have to ask because a county (just like a US state) is an imperfect organizational unit, so there are counties with 500 people and counties with 2 million people. You're not going to find a competitive news market in the former.

A "local news source" in a market that small can mean a single person with an agenda running a blog, which is probably worse than Nextdoor.

One is a payment you receive, the other is a bill you don't receive. They can be similar to your bottom line, but they are definitely not the same thing especially if there is a middle area where you wouldn't have paid the extra tax anyway, so you aren't even getting an advantage.
I think about it with different divisions.

For politicians (as opposed to people in other professions), they are obviously responsible for the policies their parties support, to the extent that they support their parties. Given not every politician votes in lockstep with their party.

BUT for individuals in the US, their personal positions are often more complex than the binary reductions the two-party system affords us.

Consequently, there are many (most?) dissenters on one issue or another in both parties.

If a person has thoughts on matters, it's therefore more interesting to me to discuss those thoughts, than to derive my interactions with them solely by their D or R label.
But the meaning you're presumably referencing isn't applicable to this conversation.
History of Ice Cream is starting to sound realer by the day
In the context of position keeping I think it's not too bad.

If we focus on longitude, where timing I guess matters more, the equator moves at a speed of about 0.46 km/s. So I guess being out by 1 second translates to precisely 0.46km error. That's second order compared to the stated error of 4 km, and it will be smaller still away from the equator.

I'm working off the assumption that such a drone can sync up to an accurate time source at launch, and then only needs maintain good timekeeping for its time in the air. I guess without the accurate initial time source, it gets bad. Being a minute out is suddenly 30km of latitude direction away.

Plenty of countries, particularly those in an economic slump, have popular support for stupid wars. That changes quickly when the war is started and the costs come home.
I have not used Mixxx nor do I have it installed, but might download to check it out.

If its always in a SQLite DB you should be able to use DB Browser for SQLite to inspect the DB Schema and then write a bash/python (whatever) script to pull the info out.

RESULTS=$(sqlite-utils "data.db" "
SELECT
song,
artist,
duration,
FROM my_table
WHERE song = 'CURRENT';")

RESULTS=$(sqlite3 data.db <<EOF
SELECT
song,
artist,
duration,
FROM my_table
WHERE song = 'CURRENT';
EOF
)

I have no idea what the schema looks like but those are just some examples of how straightforward it might be. Run it on CRON (whatever) update as needed.

Once you have the Schema an LLM could most likely do the rest if you are not a programmer, but still need someone to get it added to the site.
Thank you for your contribution to the FOSS learning space.

I never said 0-based indexing was sufficient to choose it over Lua on its own. Just that it is an advantage over Lua, which it is.

Also I don't think Lua's LSP/type annotations are anything to boast about. They exist, but they aren't good. If you care about that there are way better choices - Typescript, or maybe Dart (not sure how embeddable that is though).
I think physics folks are still mostly top notch when it comes to physics, but for metaphysics they fail like everyone else of course.

If your looking for a puzzley experience, Emily Short's "Counterfeit Monkey" is consistently top rated and I found it wonderful
that and collaboration between different very specialized micro organisms

Also a additional "wild" theory (from me, wield as in not properly researched/fact based):

Mono cultures or quasi monopolization of resources of one species rarely survive long term in nature (as in either they kill themself or them or the situation changes enough to remove the "monopoly". And if you go very deep underground you have increasing slower interchange/mixing between localities, and in general live is slower acting (to preserve energy). So over fit species (which risk themself due to monopolization) might in such bioms die out or fix themself before they can widely spread.

This doesn’t stop them from starting stupid wars for stupid reasons. Losing a war is not even a guarantee that they will waive their future territorial ambitions or concessions just as two examples: Spain and Gibraltar or Argentina and the Falklands.
Interesting. I can’t speak to how it works in other countries; in the USA so much context is loaded into home ownership. I don’t know the Japanese “sticks and carrots”.

The one factor I could imagine is if cost of land is so expensive that anyone who could afford it is going to be wanting to do a ton of customization anyway.

Are you talking about rural Japan, not just e.g. Tokyo? What systems exist in Japan that make the building worthless?

Sure they can, at least in the US.
Also anaesthesia. But yeah, something like melatonin shouldn't cause issues.
This all may seem very quaint. I mean after all how many people on HN need colorful cowboy boots. But these things serve an actual purpose.

I ride motorcycles and recently needed to get a new pair of boots. These are obviously a different kind, but when it comes to boot making there is obviously a lot of crossover, and just low cowboy boots, motorcycle boots are specialized for the purpose. Well what I discovered that despite having lots of companies in this space, most don’t use the Goodyear welt so they are one and done items. It costs on the order of $150 to resole a Goodyear welt boot around d where I live and without it the cost basically doubles, making it not a wise investment vs buying new. Of course there are other manufacturers that do build for longevity but none that actually make motorcycle-specific boots which include the proper armor, etc.
The UK left the largest free trade area a few years ago.

There's little appetite to join the American one, as it would mean lowering standards (food etc) which ruins Britain's specialties.

You could argue they should't have taken so much US investment though. It's like when founders give to much control of their company away for the sweet VC cash, nothing is free.
I never made it through--but then I've mostly always been more of a fan of the idea of gaming than the work of actually playing a game until the end.

The long Russian strategy has been to undermine the NATO via the US. The right wing nonsense in the US plays into that, by design, and is happening at the worst time for the US.

Reality is the value that the US brings is lower than it was. Ukraine has chewed up the old Soviet-era WW2 style tank divisions, but we’ve also seen that 4th generation fighters can’t survive in contested airspace and traditional Navy ships need to stay offshore (for now) to avoid being sunk by drone jetskis. Kinda a problem where we have limited inventory of 5th generation aircraft in either of our air forces.

The Navy sort of figured this out, but instead of building submarines built stealth ships with no weapons.

We need a reappraisal of US military force structure, based on the technology of 2026 vs 1986, as we’re on the path to end up like the Russians.
I imagine this could have more to do with how isolated these environments are?

There are more unique species on mountains or islands because it is hard for those species to leave and take over new territory. On the contrary, something on continental land or ocean can expand huge distances if it has new adaptation.

Just my amateur speculation, but I would imagine underground caves are very isolated from other caves even relatively close in terms of distance.
>Indeed, and I suspect as more people learn about jury nullification, the world will grow more just.

One would hope, but back in the day it was a powerful tool to do the opposite where juries disagreeing with the law would find minorities guilty when they obviously weren't.
There is a social movement that seeks the suppression of all transgender expression, including by fully informed adults. They led with “save the kids” for the emotional impact, as many other well-organized social movements have in the past.

It works because concerns about kids are real. But it’s important to see and understand the greater goals of the movement, and how it affects everyone. The essay at the top of this HN thread was written by an adult, expressing their adult concerns.

> 2. Doesn't make the mistake of 1-based indexing.

Why is this a mistake? I've used 0-based languages primarily, but ergonomically, 1-based languages like Awk and Smalltalk are fine too, making some code slightly harder to write and other code slightly easier. Overall, I've found it to be a wash. If anything, in a pointer-less language, pedagogically, 1-based is more intuitive for novices.

P.S. Classic VB and VBA had an odd feature where one could choose the base for themselves, using the Option Base feature.

There are references to the IBM 7090/7094 version under IBSYS online.

This looks neat. If you’re going to add Duolingo style features, please don’t add fill-in-the-blank or word matching to the question types; or at least make them optional. They are an incredibly frustrating waste of time on Duolingo—they take up a ton of time to solve and don’t actually improve comprehension. My biggest gripe with Duolingo is that half of the questions asked in a lesson are questions like these which have the pretense of helping you learn but don’t actually deliver. I think if you instead came up with some very difficult question types that really challenged someone’s comprehension, it would be stickier than Duolingo (especially for the HN crowd who is actually trying to learn) and not just here to “play a game” like a large portion of the Duolingo audience.

Yeah. Irredentism is a fundamentally emotional ideology borne from nationalism. It doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to be a rallying cry.
It's not really within my area since this question concerns the rights of citizens but this is something I've been concerned about because we have a lot of LGBTQ clients who are eligible for or in the process of applying for citizenship. I suspect that there will be clarity about this soon and I suspect that it won't be favorable to trans people.
You say that very confidently - but why shouldn't an LLM have learned a character-level understanding of tokens?

LLMs would perform very badly on tasks like checking documents for spelling errors, processing OCRed documents, pluralising, changing tenses and handling typos in messages from users if they didn't have a character-level understanding.

It's only folks who have absolutely no idea how LLMs work that would think this task presents any difficulty whatsoever for a PhD-level superintelligence :)
Previously, https://www.androidauthority.com/esim-adapter-android-phone-... said "While there are other eSIM adapters, the JMP adapter is the only one that doesn’t use a proprietary, closed source app." Is that still true, or is this one now a second FOSS option?

Yes, but their say will only work as long as both parties feel that the other party honors their contractual obligations.

Hearing the inaugural speech of President Trump, I feel that some treaties and contracts might soon be worth less than the paper they were written on, if breaking those somehow gives national benefits in the quest to "make America great again".

That is how Mr. Trump's speech came across to me anyway. Perhaps and hopefully that is untrue, I'm not a native speaker, so perhaps I lost some subtle nuances.

Something about VSCode makes it hard to add in. I think it lacks the right APIs.

I find this hard to understand. I find that ghosting due to my astigmatism is far more effectively hidden with light themes. More extreme dark themes tend to be illegible as light ghosting stands out against dark backgrounds.

Imprisonment is worse, being kicked out of university is also worse, but a company taking your money for a product and then banning you from use of that product without a reasonable (and inexpensive) appeals process is also evil (and imo should be illegal).

The flip side of that is that the natural gas infrastructure is pretty well established and isn't likely to increase in cost drastically unless the supply starts running out. If anything we should start using natural gas instead of coal for power plants and raise the residential cost of it while lowering the cost of electricity, but I'm sure there are a bunch of incentives against doing that.
> every crisis so far as accelerated European integration

There is indeed some evidence of this but this is not a cause to celebrate.

It is a reactive response and minimalist in scope. Once the crisis is somehow mitigated, everybody is back singing their old tunes. E.g., the various proclamations for banking and capital markets union are still in deep freeze, two decades after the financial crisis. The first response to the Covid and migrant crises was to close internal borders etc.

> It's just a very slow process with 27 member states.

Yes, and we should always celebrate and prioritise preserving that individuality - when it is not hindering the collective survival of our cultures and values.

The beauty of the European project is that it doesnt follow a known pattern. It must invent the needed mechanisms. At this juncture it feels there is a need for drastic such invention. To stop running after disasters and have some confidence in our future.

I don't think that (sub-word) tokenization is the main difficulty. Not sure which models still fail the "strawberry" test, but I'd bet they can at least spell strawberry if you ask, indicating that breaking the word into letters is not the problem.

The real issue is that you're asking a prediction engine (with no working memory or internal iteration) to solve an algorithmic task. Of course you can prompt it to "think step by step" to get around these limitations, and if necessary suggest an approach (or ask it to think of one?) to help it keep track of it's letter by letter progress through the task.

I'm implementing a fully libre open-source vowifi/volte client for Android that runs in JVM sandbox, rather than untrustable modem. During my development I went through a protocol detail that I was too lazy to implement: you're supposed to announce which is the last 4g cell you saw even when doing Vowifi. I just hardcoded a value and forgot about it.

And then, I get a user who tells me that their carrier is saying they are roaming, even though they don't. I'm a tad clueless at first, because they are the network, they ought to know (this even happen over VoLTE). I send them an updated implementation that reports the correct cell. And then they receive a "welcome back" SMS.

Anyway, it's possible that your carrier can do abroad vowifi, you just need your vowifi client to lie as to where it is.
