You can't show me zero of something which is why you can't divide by it. Zero is a placeholder for what we can't show which is also why negative number exist on the opposite side of it. Zero isn't a number, it too is a name.

“Sources with direct knowledge of the situation” is often reporter-speak for “the person who did it talked to me.” So its more than private conversations… it’s raising a ruckus in the press.

I don't think what you're seeing is suppression—it's just the preference of the bulk of the community. That's frustrating when you feel strongly that it should be otherwise (for good reason), but there isn't some extraneous nefarious force at work here; it's just that most HN users don't want the site to turn into a battlefield.

It's mostly unrelated to the platform "mastering" sleep/wakeup, those work really well on Linux as used in Android.
Same! My understanding of migraines is that it's something to do with blood pressure in your head. My hypothesis is that the visual disturbances are your blood vessels dilating and pressing against your retina. Then I think it can cause kind of a runaway feedback loop of some sort that causes the blood pressure to increase throughout your head, causing pain.

Thinking about it now, I wonder if the light trigger could be the bright light causing minor damage to your retina, potentially triggering an inflammation/repair response. The fact that it happens when going from dark to light suddenly, also makes sense, since your pupil is at its most dilated when in the dark, meaning the most of your retina is exposed/vulnerable. That might also explain why it always starts in the periphery; because the edges of your retina are likely less often exposed to light and potentially more delicate -- but would be exposed if you see bright lights while your pupils are fully dilated.

For me, I've found it's also closely related to irregular food or sleep. And I find eating something with sugar or drinking some water can reduce the likelihood of the visual disturbances becoming a full-on migraine. My hypothesis is that these things alter your blood chemistry/physics enough to interfere with the runaway feedback loop that results in increasing blood pressure. I imagine dunking your head in cold water likewise works because it breaks the runaway process.

But this is all speculation.
I'm probably not very clever - but I don't get why calling the gap "fractions" is problematic.

The example the author gives of "fractions" is... rational numbers, and then proceeds to say "what about irrational numbers" - but in mymind (and this is probably where I'm a wrong?) an irrational number is still a fraction of a whole number, just we cannot express it "properly" (yet)

Is there a conda to uv migration tutorial written by anyone?

I have installed miniconda system-wide. For any Python package that I use a lot, I install them on base environment. And on other environments. Like ipython.

For every new project, I create a conda environment, and install everything in it. Upon finishing/writing my patch, I remove that environment and clean the caches. For my own projects, I create an environment.yaml and move on.

Everything works just fine. Now, the solving with mamba is fast. I can just hand someone the code and environment.yaml, and it runs on other platforms.

Can someone say why using uv is a good idea? Has anyone written a migration guide for such use cases?

I am mightily impressed by one line dependency declaration in a file. But I don't know (yet) where the caches are stored, how to get rid of them later, etc.
"Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies" – Executive Order
It's a perfectly cromulent comparison. I'm a firm believer in leading by example. If he's going to swing his "muh RTO" dick around in public the way that he has, while also expecting his employees to put in the hours and effort that he has historically expected of them, while he's off LARP'ing as president and America's savior, he can fuck right off.

The suggestion that, "It's not a good comparison because he's a boss and he can make the rules," might be technically true, fine, but it doesn't make it any less hypocritical.

I had a meeting last week whose sole purpose was for me to re-describe something a couple times which I had already described in text. And which also could be found in vendor documentation.

I also know someone who seems to think that (almost?) anything pushed on the Internet must be true.
Externally it doesn't even seem like there is a "can be fired" criteria. It seems like there is some high level bucket of "these shouldn't be fired", and the rest is just pull plugs and see what breaks immediately. Which incidentally also spills into the "shouldn't be fired" pool as in this case and the earlier nuclear one.

This seems like the same approach as the Elon going into twitter's data center to physically remove servers story. Except instead of pulling servers, they're pulling jobs instead.

You can represent pi on a number line but it is absolutely completely impossible to randomly put a dot down on a number line and have it be pi. You can achieve endless measurable precision with decimal rational numbers. So randomly placing a dot on a line will always be a rational number.

Right???
This helps explain the different kinds of numbers in that recent HN article about how hard it is to make an accurate calculator.
Like so many other articles that make some offhand remarks about conda, this article raves about a bunch of "new" features that conda has had for years.

> Being independent from Python bootstrapping

Yep, conda.

> Being capable of installing and running Python in one unified congruent way across all situations and platforms.

Yep, conda.

> Having a very strong dependency resolver.

Yep, conda (or mamba).

The main thing conda doesn't seem to have which uv has is all the "project management" stuff. Which is fine, it's clear people want that. But it's weird to me to see these articles that are so excited about being able to install Python easily when that's been doable with conda for ages. (And conda has additional features not present in uv or other tools.)

The pro and con of tools like uv is that they layer over the base-level tools like pip. The pro of that is that they interoperate well with pip. The con is that they inherit the limitations of that packaging model (notably the inability to distribute non-Python dependencies separately).

That's not to say uv is bad. It seems like a cool tool and I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

The vast majority of mathematicians are platonists. They think math is real.
When they asked for a clear and concise description of your problem and solution, they are probably looking for a problem statement: a focused, 1 or 2 sentence explanation of the problem you intend to solve. You then present your proposed solution in the same form.

Hypothetical example problem statement:
We want to promote ycombinator to everyone that could benefit, but banner ads make us look chintzy, directly engaging in the feral discourse on Slashdot would inevitably look unprofessional, and engaging directly through dozens of purpose-built blogs and websites is too onerous.

Hypothetical example solution statement:
We should create our own simple, well-designed news site built on user submissions, and include threaded discussion capability with moderation built in at both the community and company level to keep things relatively civil. Then our audience will come looking for us.

What you offered is not a problem statement. It is a sales deck offering a, frankly, convoluted explanation of how starting a currency will solve a largely unrelated problem backed up by an unsupported assertion about the least representative sample in the world— Donald Trump.

As the sibling commenter mentioned, the video data itself is useful as we see a rise in multimodal models, but also..

(1) all videos are captioned, automatically then often again by the content creator manually. This data alone is extremely valuable for training purposes.

(2) the videos contain great information about slang terms, and youth vernacular. Which is unique data that is harder to find elsewhere.

(3) young people seem to use TikTok as a search engine, so presumably some of the videos' content must be explicitly valuable enough as an information source, similar to YouTube.
You can thank Biden, actually.

On the merits, this Court previously held that no provision of § 8468 prevented the plaintiffs' removal. See Mem. Op. at 7. First, the Court noted that “the power of removal from office is incident to the power of appointment” “absent a specific provision to the contrary.” Id. at 6 (quoting Carlucci v. Doe, 488 U.S. 93, 95 (1988) (citation omitted)). Second, the Court held that the plain text of § 8468(b), which provides only that Board members “serve for three years each” on staggered terms, does not meet that standard. Id. at 7. Third, the Court read Parsons v. United States, 167 U.S. 324 (1897), and Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52 (1926), to hold that term-of-office provisions, standing alone, do not confer removal protection.

I'm not against the idea. I don't want HP-ificiation or Samsung-ification or FAANG-ificiation or any other form of enshittification. Just require _everything_ to be open source to be fully certified. Without open source hardware and software, you're just buying future e-waste. I don't want some workaround like "oh yeah the certificate is for the initial release but you need to update for security and oh by the way the update is not certified".

Otherwise, imagine this scenario:

Company release a product and pushes out the version for the certification. Updates require new versions to be signed with a particular key. A couple months later, the key is leaked! Okay, so keys are rotated and a new update is pushed and the old key is blocked.

What happens to the certification? What use is the certified key? What use is the certified source code? The certification should mandate a user-activatable factory-reset to the certified keys and code, which can't be tampered with by firmware to block or modify a different firmware from being installed.

My current dev setup is neovim + cursor. I'd love for it to one-day just be neovim (i.e. cursor's capabilities built into neovim). Seems that's getting closer. The 'Composer' feature is Cursor's 'Killer App' - the ability to instruct the LLM (which is context-aware) and have it generate the files/edits necessary, and be a bit 'agentic' (in that it self-critiques, occasionally backtracks, and does what a mid level dev would do in a day or two in 20 seconds).

I don't particularly love this submission, but the headline feels so weighty & so real.

So much if what's happening (and terrifying) in the world is wrapped up around the tech industry, and especially especially the infosphere. The one tech built, the infosphere that increasingly is used to shape & syndicate & spread the political.

"Night trains" (where the train effectively doubles as lodging for 8--12 hours) make even longer-haul routes quite viable. Even without HSR that affords nearly 1,000 mi / > 1,500 km of range (80 mph constant / 130 kph).

At typical HSR speeds of 185 mph / 300 kph, that extends to ~2,200 mi / 3,600 km. That's sufficient for travel from SF to Chicago, or NYC to Salt Lake (with range to spare).

(Both calculations presume 12 hours and operating largely at top speeds, both of which may be atypical in practice, but do satisfy the maximum possible range question.)

Travel within major population corridors, generally the east coast (Boston, Minneapolis, Miami, Houston) or west (San Diego, Phoenix, Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver) should be highly viable.

And as is often noted, rail operates city-centre to city-centre, and typically has fewer security checks and delays.
Seems so cool and hardcore, for both industry and academia wise. I wish I could have this nice thing in several years ago when I was using Java with some concurrent bugs.
Automatic sleep and wake-on-demand for Linux
An algorithm I've heard of in multiplayer game programming, in which massive state must be transmitted to many clients ... xor the previous game state with the new game state on the server ... most of the result will be zeros because most of the new state is the same as the old state. Then compress it. All those zeros compress really really well which is great for network traffic. Then transmit the compressed xor'ed state, client decompresses and xors with current state to get new state. Don't remember where I first heard of this but it was probably 15 or 20 years ago.

Really clever. Never tried to implement such a thing though. Sounds fiddly and hard to debug.
Fascinating. I didn't know people even knew they existed.
I've used it a ton too and it feels quite polished. Lately I've seen codecompanion.nvim[1] around a lot and been wondering if someone has tried both, are there differences between these two in actual use that would make other one worth trying over the another?

From the blog post accompanying the source release [1], it sounds like the classic Source engine is only being made fully 64-bit just now.

So it sounds more like Valve just hadn't done the work to make it possible to run on more modern macOS (that has long been 64-bit only) until now. Not much Apple could have done except maybe tried to directly pay them to do it earlier...

Wouldn’t it make sense to offload the ai to the phone?
I tried to use toml in as config format for the app I am building at my day job. I ditched it for json because it's representation is not unambiguous, meaning the same object tree has many many different valid representations in toml. This makes it really hard to implement roundtripping of the config string to object tree and then back to config string without losing the specific toml representation chosen by the config author and no library that I've encountered supports it properly.
For me this was a very important use case (config migrations). I implemented my own json parser that preserves json formatting and comments in half a day. Maybe json is harder to read and write but imo it's simplicity is a good feature.

My company uses them for a fuckton of things that were previously too intractable for static logic to work (because humans are involved).

This is mostly in the realm of augmented customer support (e.g. customer says something, and the support agent immediately gets the summarized answer on their screen)

It’s nothing that can’t be done without, but when the whole problem can be simplified to “write a good prompt” a lot of use cases are suddenly within reach.
