So I've read the article and I even read the Google post they linked in and yet can't understand what exactly are these changes.

It mentions fingerprinting but what exactly is Google changing ?

They speak about "advances in privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs)"

and then later on

"Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are already commonly used in the broader ads ecosystem to help marketers reach people across their customer journey and measure how their ads are working, especially on CTV. At Google, we have already been using these signals responsibly to fight against spam and fraud for years. Now, with new innovations like PETs to mitigate risks, we see an opportunity to set a high privacy bar on the use of data like IP. We can do this by applying privacy-preserving protections that help businesses reach their customers across these new platforms without the need to re-identify them. And because we’re looking to encourage responsible data use as the new standard across the web, we’ll also partner with the broader ads industry and help make PETs more accessible"

I consider myself fairly smart and used to read between the lines of the usual corporate bullcrap but here it's so convulated. That got to be a new high.

Take a look here https://support.google.com/marketingplatform/answer/15732590...

Not sure even Gemini ai can unbullshitify that :)
I think these models all "cheat" to some extent with their long context lengths.

The original transformer had dense attention where every token attends to every other token, and the computational cost therefore grew quadratically with increased context length. There are other attention patterns than can be used though, such as only attending to recent tokens (sliding window attention), or only having a few global tokens that attend to all the others, or even attending to random tokens, or using combinations of these (e.g. Google's "Big Bird" attention from their Elmo/Bert muppet era).

I don't know what types of attention the SOTA closed source models are using, and they may well be using different techniques, but it'd not be surprising if there was "less attention" to tokens far back in the context. It's not obvious why this would affect a task like doing page-by-page OCR on a long PDF though, since there it's only the most recent page that needs attending to.
And the most usable calculator on iOS is easily GrafNCalc83 (a very close TI-83 homage), IMO, even for simple math.
Yes

(albeit I believe o3-mini isn't natively multimodal)
You can change both if you like (it's one of the first things I do whenever I install GIMP on new systems)! In 2.10, you can change the icons in Preferences under the Icon Theme section, and remove tool groups in the Toolbox section.

In 3.0 it's even easier, as both options are available in the Personalize tab of the Welcome Dialogue. I'm hoping this will help make that feature more discoverable. :)
It's not a critique if I myself point it out in my own comments -- there isnt anything to reply to. HN comment threads are not the place for empirical research; but I can nevertheless point to its absence in official sales pitches.

Yes, people write their own stdlib for C, and the better ones are written effectively "for the debugger". This is code that runs spaceships, nuclear power plants, xray machines, and the like.

Rust fanatics exist in this parallel universe in which it was, necessarily, the language which was the original sin -- so that Rust can be sold upon a cross as the redemption for C.

There's plenty of existence-proof systems that are written in C with the goal of saftey and reliability. No libc, and historical programming in general did not have that goal. This has vastly more to do with the history of programming, and its assumptions of non-adversarial low-risk host systems -- than to do with what contemporary C development necessarily looks like. As-if C developers are actually unable to detect use-after-free or double-free etc. std memory saftey issues; it's absurd.
To clarify this is managing my own library rather than buying books off Amazon. I tend to buy books locally and pirate the ebook copy which I sync from my computer. I don't feel inclined to line Amazon's pockets any more than I already have...
If Trump (or whoever) goes on social media to promote Bitcoin, it'll probably pump 5%-10%. And if it falls, it'll fall roughly back down to where it was.

If he goes on to promote some unknown shitcoin, said coin could easily pump 1000%, and fall harder.
Sure! I mostly use it for testing and finding the latest versions of software that still run without requiring SSE2 instructions (Athlon64, Pentium 4, etc.).

It's kind of like a functioning software museum - it has lots of old software and editors I used in the XP days, some games from around 2001, and some programming tools like Visual Studio/Basic, Perl, Python, Mingw/GitBash, Sublime Text, Ruby, etc. The only lang I haven't been able to run so far is NodeJS since it required SSE2 instructions very early on.

It has a 1300MHz Pentium 3 and 384MB of RAM, but with a PCI SATA controller and a modern SSD, it's pretty speedy and capable!
ABBYY FineReader worked well enough the times i used it.

Seriously?
This seems less like a country losing a war and more like the US and Russia partnering in an attempt to impose an unfavourable deal on Kyiv.

Which makes the above justification of a Ukraine absence from divvying up the spoils after a defeat rather circular.
Difficult to take these types of assertions seriously at a time when the US government is purging all sorts of scientific, historical and statistical information from government websites because the latest person in charge and his minions don't like it, or find it more convenient to not have deal with what it means.

As a European I see nothing to envy in what the US currently hold up as supposed free speech.
Don't Fork the Ecosystem
i’m very familiar with the arguments around DEI/AA. as i said in a different comment, i’m in favor of limited AA.

We have little data from jobs for various reasons - but if we look at the data from universities, the “correction” is clearly far in excess of any bias by race against same score candidates, which is why URM admits typically have significantly lower scores. It is only a correction if you are saying that it is also correcting for a lot more upstream stuff that might be causing the divergence in scores. There might be merit to the claim but it does also mean that the end result is you are picking worse candidates “on paper” on the basis of their skin color.
You can use Caddy's CertMagic library in your own server, if you want something super-lightweight.
See the “Rooney rule” in the NFL. Hiring female sports casters, referees, etc.
You may want to look up something about how Saddam came to power in the early 60s. He had not only the same CIA covert ops backing but even the same kind of TV promotion. That whole army fatigues getup should be familiar by now.
Only on early hard drives that used stepper motor actuators.
Pre-USSR, he sees himself as a Czar akin to one of the Greats, a resumption of the Russian Empire. Culture wide revanchism, it's not exclusive to Putin and will still occur without him.
Finding Roman archaeology isn't unusual, but from the story it sounds like what's unusual is how early the building is in Roman London's history, and how central it is to the earliest Roman settlement?
I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. I have seen two people argue that it is OK for a corporation to not provide the service it is contracted to provide. I have seen one argue that it is OK to commit fraud. I have seen one claim that there is no such thing as a social contract.

I call you all out as sub-human, waste of a skin, unethical, money worshippers. Get a grip of yourselves before the pendulum swings back from the far right, and knocks you off your perch.

The government and the law exist to keep property from the majority. If you erode those systems for short term business gains, you will lose that protection. Your smart mouths and Ayn Rand books won't offer the slightest resistance when the majority kick in your door, and take their share. Meritocracy won't mean 'who had a rich dad and went to a fancy school' anymore. Meritocracy will be about who is strongest, the nerd or the mob of manual labourers. What a bunch of clowns.
European here - I don't think I have free speech like US Americans and I wouldn't take it as a gift.
I mean it’s not a great answer, but you could always set up a ULA for your guest network and use NAT. :-P

But I’m with you on prefix delegation sucking. Prefixes change, and that makes all your devices’ addresses change. ULA’s solve this. But then you start asking hard questions like “if I’m going to use a ULA anyway, why even use the GUA addresses?” And the answer is shrug.

I mean, it’s great that you can give real addresses to your devices when you want to host a service on them, but you can always just NAT your ISP-provided prefix to them anyway. You’ll probably want better addresses for them anyway, as those randomly generated host addresses aren’t easy to remember (may as well just start your public addresses at ::1 and increment from there, routing each one to the underlying ULA.)
Did missing/corrupt dates in COBOL default to 1875-05-20?
genius!

bravo! you can also search with grep, I did not know!

```

So you spend hours of your own time on a "challenge" to solve work problems, "4. Help solve Unsloth issues!", for their company, to potentially get a job offer?

And they get your work for free? What a scam.

This is worse than an unpaid internship, because at least you can put that on your resume.
> the article is reaching by asserting that pro Israeli lobbyists have outsized sway

Given that 38 US states have laws against boycotting Israel, Texas required hurricane aid recipients to promise not to boycott Israel as a condition of receiving aid, and Texas will fire teachers for not pledging not to boycott Israel, I wouldn't say it's reaching at all.

Floods, fires, drought. Food shortages. Tech oligarchs suffocating in bunkers while angry mobs burn their ‘AI’ data centers to the ground.
It’s easy to demonize DEI for the reasons I stated above. It’s because I don’t follow the news media that I haven’t fallen for the DEI Scare that has gripped white society. It’s modern America’s version of blaming everything on communism.

We live in a society where no one calls a wholly unqualified moron like Hegseth a “DEI hire” but people referred to Karine Jean-Pierre as such.
Great webpage name indeed. Have you considered having the about.webb.page not scroll with the column, rather be sticky on top?
I don't get the point you're trying to make?
especially for many, like me, who cannot change shell... since we are not working with our pc, but we are SSH connecting to plenty of different servers
Sure, if you turned it off too early the files were corrupted. The safe thing was to exit Windows 3.x to the DOS prompt and only turn off the computer then. But it wasn't really required.
On Linux there is ocrmypdf on fedora repos.

Works quite well
Yes that don't have to allocate an IPv4 address for each customer or deploy ugly solutions like CGNAT. They simply cooperate with phone OS makers (Apple and Google) to make sure the OS and the apps work in an IPv6-only environment. Apple then forces app developers to make their app work in an IPv6+NAT64+DNS64 environment.
I think something you really like!

You have the experience and obviously love the pallet in your contexts. Perhaps somehow show where you felt you stretched them, or where you really felt good about them.

Or just show something quick where you like how the colors compliment. Heck, even a text heavy page that looks punchy on your terms would be great.

Right now it feels like (the frequent experience where) I am seeing something great that has a lot of thought put in, but I don’t know enough to understand the design or recreate the thought. But in color! :)
Aren't you afraid to get banned from Cloudflare for using their DNS for streaming media?
Depends on the language, some have runtime optimizations to make copies fast (usually FPs with purely immutable data). Not sure if that’s the case in something like Java.
When most people say "NAT", in the home user / consumer sense, they really mean "PAT": ports mapping to multiple private IPs using a single public IP.
I still yearn for a riff on Ravenholm
I can recommend this gizmo for people just starting to learn about electronics. I got one in Hackerbox 102[1] and found it to be a good value in terms of bandwidth vs cost.

In talking about it to my engineering friends I got the somewhat expected dismissive "well its just a toy" kinds of comments, and to be clear it has a lot of limitations, but within those limitations it also has a lot of opportunity to teach people about things like analog electronics which are best learned by looking at the signals. And given that so many people starting out don't even know why they might need an oscilloscope, its a pretty good way to introduce the tool without the huge learning curve of features you may not use for the first year of your learning process :-).

And then when it comes time to pick one of the many really excellent choices of bench tools, you won't be completely clueless about what the functions of the oscilloscope do. So for $20 I consider it a good value and have recommended it to people who were just starting to learn about these things.

One upside of sea launches is the ability to choose any heading, which makes reaching the desired orbit easier. When launching from land, you have a limited range of possible headings, unless you are willing to launch over populated areas.

For example, rockets launched from Florida to ISS initially head northeast. A similar launch from Boca Chica would place the trajectory uncomfortably close to Houston.
I'd love to read something on how Perplexity+R1 integrates sources into the reasoning part.
Hate to say it but when Bram died all the energy seemed to go to Neovim. It seemed for years Neovim was just the weird fork, now it actually feels like the new Vim. And Neovim is really nice, especially with stuff like Treesitter, Mason, and the distros (I use Lazyvim myself).
Right, it’s entirely irrelevant! So why was the source author surprised when he used this car rental company he had no reason to trust and they turned out to be untrustworthy?

The story is about finding remains of a building that was constructed very early in the Roman settlement of London... That it's in London is very much the point of the story!
Crypto adherents seem to have given up on any other narrative this time yeah.

Scammers gonna scam. Suckers gonna lose (including the suckers who fancy themselves as scammers but don’t realise it’s a rigged game).
There's more lithium in Russia than there is in Ukraine.

Developing their own resources would be a better use of their time and money than invading Ukraine.
That’s a circular definition; stating it’s not about preferential hiring but then saying it’s about not giving a certain demographic preferential treatment.

“Enjoyed” is not the right word either. It’s better explained by stating the tech industry is dominated by certain demographics because that’s just how it is, and DEI initiatives give preferential treatment to those who are not in those demographics, in an attempt to increase diversity, and give equitable opportunities, and make people feel included.
Necessary? No. Better? Probably. Despite larger context windows, attention and hallucinations aren’t completely a thing of the past within the expanded context windows today. Splitting to individual pages likely helps ensure that you stay well within a normal context window size that seems to avoid most of these issues. Asking an LLM to maintain attention for a single page is much more achievable than an entire book.

Also, PDF size isn’t a relevant measurement of token lengths when it comes to PDFs which can range from a collection of high quality JPEG images to thousand(s) of pages of text
Millions for private companies is better than billions to political cronies and waste.
In all honesty, I've read a bunch of positive articles about Millei, and watched the Friedman interview with him. He has multiple economics degrees and really seems to understand economics in a way that Trump does not, IMHO. And, so this is horribly embarassing that he does not understand the basics of cryptocurrencies and tokens and the scoundrels. Understanding economics is not the only point when you are running a country. You need to create a stable environment for citizens.
I was going to ask about that. I download local conditions from NOAA's ftp site and wanted find other free sites for that data "just in case".

Thanks

12 V power supply … sdr that jams ELRS like they don’t even know what ELRS is or how it works. An SDR that could jam that wide of a frequency all at once would be very, very expensive.

Also you can just buy a purpose made 300 W jammer on AliExpress
All I see is black text on a white background. I'm using Firefox on Android. I assume it's supposed to show more?
i think there are two questions:

1. in practice, does “DEI”/AA typically mean using race to influence hiring decisions? i think the answer is unequivocally yes, not taking a position on the merit of doing so.

2. Has “DEI” become some sort of boogeyman that is almost equivalent to communism of a past era? Yes, I agree with you - it has really accelerated in the past year and people are using it in ways that don’t even make any sense or blaming it for things that clearly are unrelated.

But I never made a claim of the 2nd form. Hegseth is obviously a nepo hire, most plum book positions in general are nepo hires.
This seems like it's conflating problems?

"All devices are routeable" is a good idea, because it means when we want devices to be routeable there's a simple and obvious way that should be done.

Where we've ended up with NAT though is worse though: we still need a lot of devices to routeable, and so we enable all sorts of workarounds and non-obvious ways to make it happen, giving both an unreasonable illusion of security and making network configuration sufficiently unintuitive we're increasing the risk of failures.

Something like UPnP for example - shouldn't exist (and in fact I have it turned off these days because UDP hole-punching works just fine, but all of this is insane).
> And for the record, since we're talking about hundred digit numbers, as an IEEE float that would mean 23 exponent bits and you'd have to go below 10e-4000000 before it rounds to zero. Or 32 exponents bits if you follow some previous software implementations.

Um, no. Have you confused your not-at-all hypothetical self? Are you mistaking the significand, aka the mantissa for an exponent? The significand in a 32-bit "single precision" IEEE float is 23 bits (with an implied leading 1 bit for normal values)

When I wrote that example I of course tried this, since it so happens that I have been testing some conversions recently so...

I am trying to allude to historical events in which a super power talked both behind the back of a losing allied government and then forced them into a losing proposition.

It is not like stuff like this is unexpected. I find the general "acted surprisedness" somewhat annoying.
Love this! Would also really like to see it used in a full example though

Alright. Not a hill to die on. I do like that there is activism here. Truly, its civic activism that's done freely. If this is the last time I hear about bullshit like this, then wonderful. Otherwise, this all joins the very large pile of shit the tech bros have been unleashing.

It's seductive to want to align with the bravado of cut-throat businessmen. I was sucker for it too. It's such a cool archetype when you are impressionable, but then you grow up and realize humanity is about more than that.
Same here, but on chromium PC.
That the laws of physics are symmetric under time reversal[0], so any statement you make about how things should evolve "over time" also holds if you go backwards in time.

The apparent arrow of time is commonly thought to have to do with initial conditions. Entropy was low right after the Big Bang, creating an asymmetry between the two time directions.

0. Technically, the laws of physics are symmetric under stimultaneous inversion of time, flipping of all charges, and a mirror reflection of space.
great reply and i think hits on what i was trying to get at which is it is obviously discriminatory, but the merits of that discrimination are quite possibly positive or certainly up for debate.
Fandom.com's UI somehow continues to get worse every time I have to use it.. On a mobile browser it's not even obvious what the purpose of the wiki even is, just showing a grid of Trending Articles with the actual main page hidden in a dropdown at the very bottom of the page
