I find it sad that these sharks which naturally live so long, who have no recorded attacks on humans, and whose flesh is toxic to humans, are still killed and eaten by humans.
You should make it draw from a palette of colors, like an actual terminal does, and easy to customize. Base16 would likely be enough given the web has opacity and a bunch of other ways to slightly modify colors. I'd also like to see how much of this doesn't need to be React™, even if your application is entirely React. Maybe splitting the CSS and the component logic?

What are you talking about? I don't see any deceptive companies. Most didn't get to the point of having customers to deceive.

Startups changing their plan is normal and expected. The investors have board seats and leverage if they don't like the pivot.
This is an excellent post and I agree. That said, we should vilify people who get rich (small or large scale) in reprehensible ways, e.g. class traitors and people who enforce the system. But the distinction between people who simply succeed in a corrupt world (because life is random) and those who are rewarded for making it worse is important and underacknowledged.
>By 615 CE, the Sassanians had captured Chalcedon, and Heraclius was willing to become a Persian vassal. His offer was rejected, and the Sassanians withdrew their forces for the invasion of Egypt, which fell in 618 CE.

It's reported in In 617 A. D. … The Roman Emperor sent an envoy to Khusrau, praying that he was ready to have peace on any terms, but he replied, "I shall not give protection to the emperor until he is brought in chains before me and gives up obedience to his crucified god and adopts submission to the fire god."

Since around the start of the Internet, there has been a steady decline in the number of banks and credit unions in the US. [1] They have mostly consolidated with other financial institutions. The shrinkage seems attributable to customers moving their banking online and no longer depending on tellers, buildings, or geographical location in general.

Most banks are seeing this happening and acting as conservatively as they can. They are avoiding change because they don't want to be the next victim of the financial industry crisis. It's not a shadowy cabal; it's really just the fear of going out of business.

A few key banks, OTOH, are embracing change and innovating. Having strong relationships with them is key to making progress. It takes a very long time; 6 years sounds too short. I'm not sure the startup timeline could ever stomach the length of time it takes to build those relationships.

So my guess is that the author didn't have as strong a relationship as what he actually needed. My company has also worked with enthusiastic executives who turned out not to have as much weight in the company decisions as they hoped.

Chongqing is the latest poster child, there is not one city in the US like it, but it's just one example.

Put Trac and GitHub side-by-side, and they're obviously different in tons of ways. Put Forgejo and GitHub side-by-side, and you can easily confuse the two if you're not paying attention.

Of course there are plenty of elements from GitHub that existed in previous systems in some form of the other, and I'm sure the GitHub people looked at them. But the way GitHub implemented things was a marked shift from what came before (the most significant being the "source-first" view of projects – rather than "wiki first" view of Trac of listing of attributes of SourceForge – and their implementation of Pull Requests).

> do this on command line: ffmpeg cat\ meets\ skunk.mp4 normalize audio without reencoding video to video2.mp4

To normalize the audio without re-encoding the video, we'll use ffmpeg's loudnorm filter and stream copy for video. Here's the command:

ffmpeg -i "cat meets skunk.mp4" -c:v copy -af loudnorm -c:a aac video2.mp4

This command:

• Uses -c:v copy to stream copy the video (no re-encoding)
• Applies loudnorm filter to normalize audio
• Re-encodes only the audio using AAC codec
• Outputs to video2.mp4

Maybe I'm the exception here, but I slice my files and then load them to an SD card and walk them over to my printer. It's not high tech, but since you can't clear the build plate without physically being there, I don't see much of a change. If I really wanted to monitor the build I suppose I could just point a webcam at it rather than use the existing one. But since it prints flawlessly most of the time it seems unnecessary.
Except that a gimbaled system, if enclosed in a single box/pod, can also be described as a strapdown system. The term speaks more to separate modularity than how the system functions internally.
Laws just don't matter. People physically can't look adults/kids if they're from "wrong" cultures whether they were 60 or 16 and put GP into hot water by appearance.

Sites like Onlyfans, or any website for that matter, just delete contents based on appearances and user metrics. Otherwise escalations won't stop; users would leave, protest will occur, new laws will be created, state committees will be formed and blacklists are made, and credit card processing suspiciously starts failing. Recordkeeping is for honest people to be honest if they want to be. Some numbers on a driver's license do not stop the horde from banging the walls.

So a truly global feed has to hide inconvenient contents from users until users are ready for it. Ideally user editable. Which is what everyone is fat-finger doing at server side anyway.
India? If so (or otherwise), what do you think a fix would be?

Reminds me of guides for selling something online with say, craigslist. There is probably a specific day of the week, or time of day you should post. There is a way to describe your product. There is a title you should use. Maybe you should give a phone number, maybe not. Maybe you should use the craiglist email redirection.

But in some way, I hope people don't do that with hn. I sometimes read helpful product reviews on an amazon product. "I tried the XIWSHDX salad spinner, and I found it to be very useful. blah blah."

I think I'm afraid of "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds", or possibly will just hide good organic content.

Peace in Ukraine isn't contingent on US support. Their allegiance with America is one of the last things stopping them from attacking Russia's crude oil fleets and sending Russia's economic backbone into a suicide spiral: https://oec.world/profile/country/rus#yearly-trade

Truly, Donald Trump could decide tomorrow to refuse audience with Zelenskyy and only meet with Putin. Russia's treasury would be hemorrhaging within a week and the government would be paralyzed in the middle of an active invasion. That would be dangerous for America and NATO allies, but what does that concern a non-member like Ukraine after all?

Russia has spent 30 years on life support. America and Ukraine simply disagree on how we pull the plug.

Yes. MLK Day is the 3rd Monday of the month. Inauguration day is always Jan 20, unless it falls on a Sunday, in which case it is Jan 21. They happened to coincide this year, as they have occasionally in the past, but it's more common that they don't.
They wouldn't have had to pretend if FTDI would have let them be a second source. I am sympathetic toward wanting to have the support of an already-widely-distributed driver rather than get stuck in the chicken vs egg of being unable to break in to a market because no current software supports your design.
Unless I'm reading the wrong pricing page, Duolingo Max seems to cost $29.99/month. In my experience learning Chinese, it costs $15-20 an hour to find a decent teacher online with whom to practice via video call. A few teachers charge less than $10 an hour, but they are very weak. Seems pretty darn reasonable for me, especially since I'm guessing they have at least $10/month in costs just paying for the LLM.
What videocall service other than Discord lets a normal user individually adjust other call participants' relative volume or even mute them? Because for me, that's the killer feature.

But then everyone is a bad actor. All the countries supplying arms to Ukraine are perpetuating the war and causing more deaths, so they're bad actors. As is Ukraine itself of course. You can't actually define that in way that has any use. It's ultimately just whatever your cultural influences led you to believe.

People should just be honest and admit they're nationalists, other kinds of ideologists, or just trying to fit in when it comes to opinions about war, because that's really all it is. If it was really unambiguous who was a bad actor, it wouldn't be a war in the first place because everyone would agree.
Graham says he thinks wokeness is a religion, which I think is silly, but ironically religion in the workplace is an effective model here. I don't have to believe in someone's religion to understand that I shouldn't challenge their beliefs in the workplace, nor should I whine that so-and-so took time off for their holiday, and so on. I've regularly seen people make "[holiday greeting] for those who celebrate" remarks in work chats for Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu holidays, and it would be pretty inappropriate to jump in and say (as an atheist myself) "by the way, your god doesn't exist".

Similarly, I don't need to have any particular belief about the nature of gender to respond to my coworkers asking me to use "she" or "he" or "they" to refer to them. It's not my business.

Even trans people don't have a single monolithic set of opinions about what it means to be trans, what gender is, etc. The bar for not offending most people is extremely low.

The original comment talked about anti-immigrant sentiment of the new administration. Trump said that immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. How many citations of Trump and his aides would it take to make you believe that they're anti-immigrant?

Creating a joke is a great demonstration of a multistage reasoning/deduction process
As somebody who has had stuff from my blog hit #1... if you write interesting technical content and have a straightforward path then it usually gets rewarded.

Hell, even the example article would have probably gotten as much (if not more!) traffic by being titled "you can cross your eyes to solve find-the-difference puzzles".

Stop trying to trick people into reading your content. Write something mildly interesting, and post it.
At least to me, the difference is that one is ostensibly an explanation of how the AI arrived at the joke, the other is a post-hoc explanation of the joke.
I'm very curious about the jump obfuscation. Maybe somebody who's done more reverse-engineering can answer this for me:

a) Are unconditional jumps common enough that they couldn't be filtered out with some set of pre-conditions?

b) It seems like finding the end of a function would be easy, because there's a return. Is there some way to analyze the stack so that you know where a function is returning to, then look for a call immediately preceding the return address?

Apologies if I'm wrong about how this works, I haven't done much x86 assembly programming.
This sure doesn't seem to have stopped Japan from basically refusing to scale EV production.

With the Nissan Leaf as the first major production EV in the world, and the Prius the first major hybrid, They have basically refused to proceed.

I feel, to appease US financial and military interests.

The Prius, by simply scaling the battery capacity, and adding a plug-in charger could be a very affordable plug-in hybrid. The Leaf with a little battery capacity increase could compete as a low cost EV against the typical $80K models entering the market..

Instead both of those manufacturers have cancelled those product lines.

Just played with the qwen32b:Q8 distillation, gave it a fairly simple python function to write (albeit my line of work is fairly niche) and it failed spectacularly. not only not giving a invalid answer to the problem statement (which I tried very hard not to make ambiguous) but it also totally changed what the function was supposed to do. I suspect it ran out of useful context at some point and that’s when it started to derail, as it was clearly considering the problem constraints correctly at first.

It seemed like it couldn’t synthesize the problem quickly enough to keep the required details with enough attention on them.

My prior has been that test time compute is a band aid that can’t really get significant gains over and above doing a really good job writing a prompt yourself and this (totally not at all rigorous, but I’m busy) doesn’t persuade me to update that prior significantly.

Incidentally, does anyone know if this is a valid observation: it seems like the more context there is the more diffuse the attention mechanism seems to be. That seems to be true for this, or Claude or llama70b, so even if something fits in the supposed context window, the larger the amount of context, the less effective it becomes.

I’m not sure if that’s how it works, but it seems like it.
Was OpenAI demonstrated to have cheated, or just that they had access to the benchmarks and it can’t be proven they didn’t cheat? (Which is hard to do in any case).

Last I saw FrontierMath said they had a holdback set of problems specifically to ensure investors with access couldn’t cheat[1]. Or did that turn out to be a lie?

First place I built, and still my fall back of fallbacks is a 450 square foot cabin in Alaska. No running water. Built that when I was 16-21, started as 128 square feet grew over time. I didn’t know the gift I was giving myself at the time, I just wanted a place to smoke dope and shag. The time I spent pounding nails in those boards has paid dividends of many thousands per hour.

I grew up poor, subsistence fishing, hunting, gardening. Later I understood that was a choice of my father’s. He made good money when he worked, he just preferred to be at home and work with his kids. Reflecting on it, when he needed to buy a new truck, he went to work for a month, bought a 1977 dodge crew cab new off the lot, went back to hunting lol.

I Always had a natural aversion to employment (not to hard work, just working under supervision) , probably a personality disorder I guess. I value the control of my time to an extremely high degree. I’ve been self employed / founder / investor 90 percent or more of my working life.

Ended up raising my first kid at the cabin for a few years. Eventually, in my early 30s, I started to have something you might call a bit of success.

As for how it helped? I’ve never paid rent or a mortgage in my life.(except short term/vacation rentals, hotels, etc, of course) I launched and crashed several businesses from there. Never felt like the end of the world, just the end of the day.
When you’re as rich as he is what difference does it make?
I'm afraid the whole article is like that. Honestly that might be one of the least provocative passages.
TypeScript didn't invent enums. They exist because it really sucks to write out:

const MyEnum = {
x: 1,
y: 2,
z: 3,
// etc
}

instead of

enum MyEnum {
x = 1,
y,
z,
// etc
}

when you want a series of constants each with a unique value but don't particularly care what that value is.

TypeScript's enums are particularly weak compared to enums in other languages precisely because there's no JS support for enums. Modern languages have support for ADTs.
Ukrainian and Russian drones already do that. They use simple visual navigation for terminal guidance: https://www.rockingrobots.com/ukraine-drones-able-to-navigat...

Fertility rate is an incredibly misleading name. The rate is referencing the number of children people are having, not their physical ability to have them.
Sports are more than just entertainment. There is no way for the state to avoid getting involved when the sports are run through publicly funded schools. And this impacts more than just boxing. At some point the state has to decide whether inclusion or fair play is more important. At least for sports that involve strength and speed we can't have it both ways. There are no easy answers here, and we can't just pretend the issue doesn't matter.

I struggle to parse this with every paragraph surrounded by a border. It feels unnatural and extremely distracting.

To the author's take of using a file system as an interconnected 'web', we have networked file systems today, typically clustered though.

We've also had the _concept_ of a media-rich file system, like WinFS [as an overlay to NTFS], which was dead before it was alive due to the WWW.

Networking file systems is _complex_. All vendors would need to agree to a common export model on top of their preferred file systems. Or users would need a specialized partition/overlay developed just for this purpose.

FSes are great, but they're not fit for WWW. Without a control plane, they lack any tooling that makes the WWW better -- redirection, access control, programmatic execution of content (ASP.NET, PHP, CGI ...), etc.

Ultimately this would be a complex solution. Just like many don't simply "open up" their web server to any and all traffic to any and all content, a file system would need to be carefully partitioned the same.

The time for file systems as the vehicle for WWW content is long since past. We have better ways to do things, better caching mechanisms, better performance [through CDNs], better security mechanisms, and so on.

...not to mention, I certainly don't want to open my personal computer's file system up to the Internet.

There would have to be a big leap in evolution of file systems across all major operating systems for the author's dream to come true. I would certainly be excited to see it, but we're talking about allocating _talented_ developers to create a new file system and certainly an open source file system. Like many file systems, it would take years to become a trusted file system to host any content of value.

In the mean time, the author can always investigate WebDAV. Slower than dog shit, but it's available with every major web server.
I can't readily find any citation that Biden's XO actually described any policy changes intended to make this happen (and it's hard to imagine having more than very indirect influence, e.g. through taxes on conventional vehicles), and it seems like auto manufacturers are going to move in that direction regardless. A news story I found from 2021 (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/biden-sign-or...) describes the order as "non-binding and largely symbolic", which seems to be equally true of Trump's revocation.

Environmentalists should be more worried about the return of "drill, baby, drill" rhetoric.
