I'm sure I could dig into the details, but the Solid protocol seems to have similar high-level objects to AT Protocol, but a quick search doesn't reveal many sources that refer to both - are these communities ignoring each other, competing with each other, or just too new to find common ground?
Maybe it’s the changing interest rates or political winds, but I think the “fat client” era JS-heavy frontends is on its way out.

This is just not going to be true. It’s an AI world and we need to funnel so much high velocity text and dynamic UIs to provide a high fidelity experience.

Investing in static server rendered pages is just a surrender, the long surrender that people desperately seek from the onslaught of JavaScript.

But it won’t happen, it will either be JS or another language, but server side pages is the wrong bet.
These two thoughts are incompatible though, aren't they? Politics and shenanigans around the case aside, the original sentence should have taken into account the possibility of rehabilitation. But he got life without parole.

That said, it was entrapment and everyone involved should be deeply ashamed and prosecuted. At least those two agents did get some wire fraud charges [0], but the entrapment angle got explored because the charges were dropped.

Automation to identify logical/rhetorical fallacies is a long held dream of mine, would love to follow along with this project if it picks up somehow
I imagine the thought process is that even when one must show their work, having a sneak peak at the answer allows a lazier student to work the problem forwards and backwards hoping to fudge through the middle plausibly well.

Looking at that page, I’m not buying the claims. I’m not an expert on Slovene, but my understanding is that it only has singular, dual and plural and not the 3–4 special case (which seems to have been confused with other Slavic languages like Czech and Slovak). I don’t think their dual rule is correct for Slovene either.

I’m surprised about the higher in the conversation comment about Greek as the dual exists in Modern Greek only as a grammatical feature of the written form of the word for “two” and is rare in classical Greek.
To me this take is like smokers complaining that the evil government is forcing the good tobacco companies to degrade the experience by adding pictures of cancer patients on cigarette packs.
It seems a lot of reddit communities are starting to block xitter as it's painful to use now without an account. Should HN do the same?
I made an Image2Video version of HunyuanVideo and tonight I open-sourced it
HunyuanVideo currently only supports text to video, and I wanted to do image to video like luma dream machine. I added image conditioning using a new sampling method and a LoRA with pretty exciting results. This method can also do things like video infilling, and potentially frame infilling to create high frame rate versions of existing videos. Excited to continue research
Texas already is the leading state in new grid battery and grid solar installs for the last 3 years. Governor Abbott also did nuclear deregulation last year.
Sama onstage with Trump and $500 billion says otherwise.
Madoff stole $20-35B, but by some measures a human life is only worth $10M. I am not really asserting those figures are comparable, just that Madoff stole a lot of money.
According to their clear definition, "AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits"[1]. To reach this amount they can just do nothing, as they secured $500 billion in investment[2]. So consider "AGI" already happened, but nothing happened, only slop.

This is correct. I read her paper closely. One example I give is how SICP provides two implementations for complex numbers[1], the rectangular for and polar form.

(make-rectangular (real-part z) (imag-part z))

and

(make-polar (magnitude z) (angle z))

then on page 138 provides this interface that both satisfy

(define (real-part obj) (operate 'real-part obj))
(define (imag-part obj) (operate 'imag-part obj))
(define (magnitude obj) (operate 'magnitude obj))
(define (angle obj) (operate 'angle obj))

To where? And how?
Can confirm this. Teaching is a pass / fail grade for new professors to get tenure in most places. Your ability to get grant funding and publish highly cited papers are astronomically more important to the university than your teaching abilities.

I was told by a seminar speaker one time about a pre-tenure professor who was awarded his University's highest teaching award one day. The very next day he was denied tenure because he didn't publish enough.

I recommend reading the book "Tenure Hacks" [1] to anyone interested in pursuing a career as a tenured professor. I don't agree with all of the points in the book, but it is an important and eye-opening alternative perspective to the typical narrative surrounding academic positions.

Yeah. That was harsh, I agree.
Just finishing an original full length musical- I wrote all the music and lyrics using my human brain and Reason software. The only AI tool I use is Audimee.com to convert my singing voice into 8-10 other singers for different roles + harmonies in the musical.
My other favorite fun fact about this number (other than this new prime info which I am excited to have learned) is that in almost every store I’ve tried it, someone has used that (along with a local area code) as the phone number for a store loyalty card.

I’m a Bay Area guy, so if you’re ever at Safeway and need to get the discount without giving up your personal info, 415-867-5309 has got ya covered ;)
The Eagles and the Beatles basically took that approach.
Nah. I just wanted to see a source I trusted to be legitimate before sharing a sensational story.
This isn't a github runner issue, it's an Azure VM issue. They use Azure VM SKUs with temp disks, and windows VMs on those SKUs by default spin up with C on a remote-backed, persistent file share and D on the local temp disk. The remote-backed file share OS disk is absolutely slow, especially if they're using Standard HDD or Standard SSD disks. You can spin up your own VMs that use Premium OS disks for slightly better performance, but if you are doing anything serious on an azure VM, you should use the temp drive (which, by the way, mounts to /mnt on Linux) or ephemeral OS disks.

(And also this is all for v5 and earlier skus and changes slightly for v6 skus but whatever).
Church of Scientology is the worst I could think of. Anyone have better (worse)?
I got so sick of having to deal with thousands of dependencies with a React project, I manually implemented JSX to string components (e.g. building with ESBuild then writing the createElement and fragment functions as my own package, which would return a string to render server side), added Alpine.js, and it's just as, if not more productive than standard React.

So many fewer packages to deal with (especially if you want to SSR your app), and my site is way faster. And I get to use JSX which is my favorite templating engine and requires little porting from my React app.

I suggest people really take a look at Alpine.js, you can do everything in it as you can with React and it's a significantly smaller, simpler package that runs right in your browser.
In the same boat here: 20+ years of hard core Christianity (Scottish Presbyterianism). Heavy, very heavy indeed studies lasting years and years. Regulative principle of worship, this kind of direction.

Was raised kinda an atheist though and converted in my 30s. A willful, well thought out decision to convert.

All came crashing down on me the moment I stopped ignoring some very obvious questions, e.g. who died on the cross?

Even some casual thinking about this lands you, inescapably, on the only conclusion you have available if you stick to the orthodoxy, and that is: a human nature died on the cross. Not God (cannot die) and, unfortunately for Christianity, not a human either (briefly: if JC is one person / two natures, you have to conclude his (human) nature died on the cross since JC the person, being God, cannot die).

At any rate, this is where it started for me and quickly escalated further. The entire New Testament, I'm convinced now, is a fraud and whoever pulled it off didn't even try to hide it. It's incredible how we can bullshit ourselves into believing what we (for whatever reason) want to believe. And not just religion.

In the end, the NT had to go leaving me with the Hebrew scriptures.
The LP candidate was nominated due to some fluke/shenanigans/dealings between candidates. Based on the right-leaning demographics you would not expect him to win. It just happened to work out perfectly to get the people who would never vote for him anyway to vote for Trump. (Meanwhile the chairwoman encouraged Biden supporters to vote for the LP candidate).

Also, Trump actually got a mixed reception at the convention at best.
Judges are allowed to consider some evidence during sentencing which was not presented at trial. The standard for this evidence is lower than the "beyond a shadow of doubt" standard required for a criminal conviction. This is allowed because during sentencing the judge is considering information related to the history and character of the defendant. The 'hiring an online hitman' (who was an FBI informant) allegation was never charged or tried. Even if it hadn't been obvious entrapment, it might well have evaporated under discovery and cross-examination by a competent defense.

Including such evidence in sentencing consideration is not uncontroversial in the U.S. However, it can cut both ways, in that a judge can consider extenuating circumstances in a defendant's life to reduce sentencing. We want judges to evaluate cases and make sentencing adjustments where appropriate. So, I don't think I'd do away with the practice. The real issue is that this specific judge went absolutely bonkers far beyond the 20 years the prosecution asked for during sentencing (which was already very high) and sentenced Ross to two life sentences plus 40 years without parole.

Most of us who are happy that Ross was pardoned agree that he was guilty and deserved a jail sentence for the crimes he was convicted of. The only problem is the sentence was so wildly excessive for a non-violent, first-time offender. Compared to guidelines and other sentences it was just crazy and wrong. Ross has served over ten years. Now he's free. That's probably about right.
That's not the point. It's in the interest of a country to not let it's data be sucked by a foreign government. And India took the bold but right decision early on.
Can we build a wall to keep AI out?
And if the prosecution doesn't like the probability of conviction, they doubt their ability to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, guilt.

There can be whatever reason he wasn't convicted, it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't and presumed innocence is the legal default.
Darcs was also very very slow when I used it.
I left academia after my PhD, with no regrets.

As a grad student, for the duration of your thesis work, you're locked into a specialty at a specific institute that isn't necessarily first-tier, may need to work at a level of intensity that prevents you from attending to a proper job search, and may end up under a professor who doesn't adequately support your career (e.g., with reputation and favorable recommendations).

In short, many things can go wrong, but you're focused on finishing. Under those conditions, if you do go straight into an industry job, it may be a shitty job that's not much better than a post-doc.

A brief stint as a post-doc gives you an income while you repair your career. This may involve changing specialties, developing your own research idea, working in a more prestigious institute or under a famous professor, or searching for industry jobs. Whatever it is, my own advice would be to only consider doing a post doc if it serves a credible purpose, otherwise, getting paid to get older isn't worth it.

In my field (physics), it was customary for grad students to work for their PhD advisor as a post-doc if they didn't already have a job lined up. I know lots of people who did that. It may inflate the number of "postdocs who leave academia" if it's not really a new job and their intention was to leave academia all along.
Yeah, there is a lot of misinformation being spread about wind power. Sweden's last wind power subsidies were scrapped over then years ago but producers are still investing heavily in wind power. The limiting factor is Sweden's anti-woke, Trump light, "culture-warring" government. Because the environmentalists like wind power they hate it. Consequently, they have successfully stopped lots of privately funded wind power investments. Which is a shame since Sweden has some of the best wind resources in Europe.

Btw, Lazard's LCOE reports are a great source for cost on power generation for various types of power: https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/levelized-cost-of-e...

this is exactly the frontend team from a previous role. we were losing millions a month and had 2 major cuts within 4 months - and instead of cleaning up or simplifying our bloated frontend, the teams responsible for it started building new component libraries for the rest of the org to use on future pages
Legalities aside, is it more evil to hire a dude to kill your enemy, or to go kill your enemy yourself? (I'd go with the former because if you go kill your enemy yourself you're at least accepting that it may go the other way).
This is not how industry works, at least not in the US. Hire a good person, they sink or swim, life goes on. It’s only the harsh narrow bubble of academia that pits smart people against each other this way.
I graduated from undergrad 25 yrs ago. I worked in 5 different business sectors with highly overlapping but also quite distinct skill sets (4.5 yrs of academia/writing papers, 5 yrs of telecom/signal processing engineering, 7 yrs of quantitative finance, 1 yr of mobile consumer-device intelligence, 7.5 yrs of information retrieval).

Every ~5 yrs I've had to reinvent myself.

So, what about the disruption from AI? Just suck it up, ok? You have to reinvent yourself anyway if you are in the tech sector. Start moving already. Every tech disruption is a challenge and opportunity.

Indeed. In other news, the overall pass rates for my (translated into US terms for the first three) middle school, high school, university and post-graduate degree were all approximately 50%. So this doesn't seem particularly bad.
For all his many defects and cloudy motives for doing it, Trump deserves applause for this. It's with actions such as this that he also shows why he's a genuine maverick of a president, with who it's genuinely possible to expect deeply unexpected actions (for better or worse).

For all his talk of being progressive and cultivation of a youthful maverick image of his own, you would have never seen such a move from Obama and forget about it under the mealy mouthed Biden or a hypothetical Hillary administration. With Trump, rather uniquely and singularly, it happened.

Ulbricht made many mistakes, less so morally but definitely legally, of the kind with which he could have expected to cause punishment to rain down upon him, but the way in which his case was managed and the way in which he was sentenced truly were both disgusting in numerous ways.

They were classic examples of prosecutorial and political vengeance and give much truth to Trump's own description of the same as "The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!”

If you in any way mistrust heavy-handed government prosecutions and persecutions, it's hard to disagree much, even if it's also not hard to imagine Trump being just as abusive in other contexts where prosecution of enemies would suit his interests and personal vengeance.

Now if we see him pardon Snowden too, i'd happily give a standing ovation.

Before someone here smugly chimes in about how Ulbricht also tried to hire out a murder by contract, bear in mind that this accusation was riddled with holes, suspicions of entrapment and in any case wasn't formally used for his sentencing, AND still wouldn't justify the kind of onerously grotesque sentence that was dumped on him. Pedophiles who committed child murders have been sentenced to less than Ulbricht was.

I think the malware tries to delete this file. So, it won't be a reliable method to identify whether you were infected.
> This looks like proof by assertion

It’s not a proof at all, by anything. It’s a description of the singular / plural distinction in English.

Singular vs. plural is not a mathematical fact, it’s a linguistic fact. I’m sorry you consider that bollocks.
This speaks to me!

In 2015, a friend and I resolved to ride our bicycles across Japan. I had felt the yearn to go on an adventure that engaged my whole body and encouraged exploration in an environment completely new to me. I deeply desired some version of crossing Middle Earth, and a bike ride with a start and end point but no plan in between felt like just the thing.

In April of 2016 we set off from Kagoshima, and a few weeks later we ended our trip in Osaka. We made it roughly a third as far as we had wanted, but it’s a trip we’ll never forget, and one that we desperately want to continue someday. It scratched an itch I didn’t know how else I could scratch.
Like most articles on "Inheritance" this is clueless about providing any "real meaning/understanding". People always take the soundbites (eg. Uncle Bob SOLID) provided as a mnemonic as being the end-all, don't fully understand the nuances and then usually arrive at a wrong conclusion.

LSP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle) has to do with behavioural subtyping guaranteeing semantic interoperability between types in a hierarchy. It involves not just the syntax of function signatures but their semantic meaning involving Variance/Invariance/Covariance/Contravariance and their guarantees using an extension to Hoare Logic i.e. Preconditions/Postconditions/Invariants (derived from Meyer's DbC). Thus without enforcing the latter (which is generally done via documentation since there is no syntax for expressing pre/post/inv directly in most languages) the former is incomplete and thus the complete contract is easily missed/forgotten leading to the mistaken belief "Inheritance is bad". The LSP wikipedia page links to all the concepts, the original papers and more for further clarification.

See also Bertrand Meyer's Using Inheritance Well from his book Object Oriented Software Construction, second edition book - https://archive.eiffel.com/doc/manuals/technology/oosc/inher...

Finally see Barbara Liskov's own book (with John Guttag) Program Development in Java: Abstraction, Specification, and Object-Oriented Design for a "correct approach" to OOP. Note that Java is just used as a example language while the principles are language independent.

> It has value insofar as someone believes they can trade "X units of $TRUMP" for a Subway Footlong or a "Y units of $MELANAIA" for an ounce of Gold. No belief = no value.

I disagree, there's a very important important difference here compared to the rest, because there's an off-market utility.

People know they can purchase it from a particularly crooked politician to bribe him for government power, influence, and access. Even afterwards, possessing a large collection of coins becomes a way to get favors compared to those who don't.
I thought it was fine, I wasn't confused for a moment. The only real problem here is that HN attracts a certain brand of nerds who are inclined to think it's hilarious when Maurice Moss says "Yes, it's one of those", many of whom are likely frothing right now because I just committed a comma splice in the previous sentence.
ATProto team is familiar with SOLID, and we have a lot of respect for the people involved, but it didn't seem like it captured the right model for us. In particular, we felt it was important to debind identity from hosting, focus on high-scale aggregators (which are also debound from hosts), and use a data model which is more approachable to devs than RDF (json + lexicon).
The original post could have been a bit more precise on this point. Basically, this math assumes something where the server-provided data changes in concert with the frontend.

If we're using jsonapi, GraphQL, Thrift, or any other protocol that's not HTML, we need to do the following:

- Make the change on the server to support the new functionality. Deploy.

- Make the change on the client to adopt the new functionality. Deploy.

- Remove the old functionality from the server (optional)

Because the client is a separate application, it becomes riskier to deploy those changes together. I need to think about it more as a developer.

With server-authored HTML, this separate client + server deploy is not required.
