I agree, thanks for pointing that out. There are nuances on both sides which make it an interesting thought experiment to apply to the other side.

You have to convert your OKLCH colors to RGB hex codes before you can import them to Huetone, and that's little bit annoying, but worthwhile. I wouldn't use any palette that isn't perceptually uniform anymore. Being able to switch e.g. red-400 to blue-400 and to retain same contrasts is very valuable.
Isn't that one of the "slow lea" cases? https://reviews.llvm.org/D32277 (I can't quite parse whether using EBP/RBP/R13 is necessary to hit the slow case, or if it's any of those bullet points that cause slowness.)
I developed a couple open source projects that my startup used and got some small adoption.

I was essentially unable to maintain them using company resources after we were acquired last. Telus had no open source strategy for giving back at all. Not even on projects they "owned". I'm sure it's similar in quite a few large companies.

You're not wrong, but lately, criticism of Israel includes its right to exist, and while anti-Zionism isn't technically anti-Semitism, in practice it is. Furthermore, the pro-Palestine crowd includes many textbook anti-Semites.
But people aren’t saying that. Instead, they’re just inventing reasons why Musk is wrong, with no evidence or invented evidence, like the subject of this article.

> He worked for various years as senior economist in a bank

Ah, it looks like you were in a coma between about 2006 and 2012. I have bad news. Sometimes (whisper it!) banks _employ incompetent people_. I would be reluctant to take "oh, well, he once worked for _HSBC_" as that much of an endorsement.

Not to say that everyone who worked for HSBC was incompetent. But, er, clearly they were not all hypercompetent either, given what happened.
In that case, even as an ideal, free speech does not exist. Someone can proclaim that I should be killed because of a certain opinion that I voice. Now there are only four outcomes to that scenario: (a) I take the threat seriously and stop voicing that opinion, in which case they have suppressed my freedom of speech; (b) I take the threat seriously and use it to suppress their freedom of speech, (c) I ignore the threat, yet someone else takes it seriously and, as a natural consequence of being dead, they have suppressed my freedom of speech; or (d) I ignore the threat and nothing happens, so nobody's freedom of speech is violated. The problem is, there is no guarantee of scenario (d). This leads to the freedom of speech being used as a tool to suppress the freedom of speech.

This is not a simple matter of people saying things that are undesirable, or even heretical. It is not a matter of someone saying something hateful, then ignoring them as a hater, because chances are they want to suppress the speech of those they hate.

> but it’s just as possible that there are bots analyzing the X accounts of leaders and other notable people

Nah. Leaders and other notable people don't go around talking about niche subjects for no reason at all. It's way more likely that whoever made the transaction caused Milei talking about the coin (by whatever means you want to imagine, usually notable people accept money to promote things, but as much as Milei sound stupid enough to think he can do that as president - what is already a crime - I still expect it to be worse).

Also, there is the clear relationship between him and the coin creators.

my general sense is that the financial party is coming to an end and with the trump/biden/trump flip flop a lot of people are at least on edge if not actively hostile, and that negative energy is flowing into open source like everywhere else

I recently had a very bad experience with Kobo.com. Bought an ebook thinking I could simply download and view it on computer. haha was I naive... I could not download it from the website, instead the download gave me some XML file for some Adobe shit app, which would then download it. But I did not sign up to download and install Adobe shit on my machine. So another option is using the Kobo app. But guess what... they don't have it for GNU/Linux. And I thought maybe I can use it with WINE, but their friggin download link for the app did not even work in Firefox, even when allowing all the third party crap they put on that page to load. So that way was also blocked. OK, I thought, let's get it refunded then. But good luck!!! finding any kind of support e-mail address! All their docs and links brought me back to their chat bot, which did not help me and instead always directed me to the docs again.

Worse, they have the audacity to state on their pages that only some ebooks are eligible for a refund and to find out whether yours is, they send you back into the docs and chat bot loop. I guess they don't want people to refund, so they made finding any contact info especially difficult.

How to make a real shitty user experience 101, presented to you by kobo.com. With this it is clear to me, that I will never again buy any ebooks from them. For anyone, who does not own their Kobo device already, I say hands off this one! Maybe buy the book and download a DRM free ebook from ... elsewhere. That way you pay, can have a clean conscience and enjoy your ebook.
> The definition of "hate speech" is unclear and a made-up word to make people feel bad for being angry

Buddy, do a little bit of googling before you say plainly incorrect stuff like this. [1] [2]

Just because there’s not a single definition of a word does not mean the meaning of the word is unclear.

I think everyone on the planet could identify the vast majority of hate speech from the age of like 11. They say the edgiest stuff, after all.

Even if you agree with hate speech, you can still identify it.

> Are PINNs the current state of the art in ML methods for solving PDEs? What are their limitations?

I guess in a way they are. They aren't new, they have been around since the 90s [1]. The problem with them is, you typically need to train them on a specific problem (boundary conditions, domain, equation, PDE coefficients etc). Compared to a traditional solver, the training is much slower, and on top of that the results are typically much less accurate. The PDE + NN community has a bit of a problem dealing with this in general [2], there are tons of papers that make NNs look much better at solving PDEs than they are compared to traditional solvers.

Hi guys,
I made HackerLine, a fast, lightweight HN reader for iOS.
I love Hacker News—it’s where I find inspiration and the most cutting-edge tech topics. Then I decided to build a reader app for me to scroll more HN when on the toilet. (I know there are dozens of reader apps out there but won't hurt to have one more choice)
It’s simple, clean, and designed for my own use—but I figured some of you might like it too. It’s free, no ads, just a tool for reading HN the way I want.
If you try it out, let me know what you think—feedback (good or bad) is welcome!
Thats like saying why do we need json we can represent it also in a textfile but accessing values can be more tricky.

Sure you can represent a GraphDB in a RDBMS - but graphdbs are optimized for their specific use case. Therefor for example locking of resources is optimized for said purpose. When going a "Edge" and "Node" table approach, locking is by default rather unoptimized in many RDBMS. Just one simple example.

> that doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad economist all of the sudden

Define bad, I'm sure the insiders who made millions selling Libra at the right time don't consider him bad. If he was involved in the scam, it wasn't a bad financial decision from his point of view (just a stupid political decision). Argentinian entrepeneurs don't consider him bad. Those waiting in line at the soup kitchens probably see it differently...
Yeah, lots of name-calling going around everywhere for sure. We used to have to word "Anti-Zionist" for people against like what Israel is engaging in now, but at one point it feels like the term was "hijacked" and Zionist/Anti-Zionist is now part of forgotten terminology.

"Liberal Zionism" used to be in vogue in Israel, which takes a more moderate view and criticizes the Israeli occupation while still arguing for an Jewish state, but I think it's gotten less and less popular these days, at least from what I tell from the outside, and a more extreme form has become the popular one again.
No, this is paradox of Tolerance 101.

Even in his dissenting opinion in Abrams vs the United States, Holmes valued not free speech, but the market place of ideas - the competition of ideas that underlies the search for truth.

Slavishly sticking to free speech, and destroying the market of ideas - creating a monopilist propaganda force, with a symbiotic political party is NOT free speech.

Today we have far more information than any of the founders had anticipated. Monopolies of ideas, far more content than fact, the race to the bottom due to advertising - a source of stress in every pocket?

Yeah, your network is going to have a very specific signal to noise ratio. Your market place of ideas is going to be selling junk food, because its cheap and easy to make.

The idea of counter speech works, if counter speech is heard in the first place. If your message never gets to the other side, or the other party is completely enraged and unable to think past their fears - you have no market place of ideas.

Bad UX in ChatGPT:

- it is not always clear how to stop the generation of text, especially when scrolling; the stop button is in the wrong place

- there is no way to store preferences (such as: don't put comments in code)

- there is no way to point at a word and tell ChatGPT that it made a mistake there
> If you merely take a disordered system and throw it into reverse, you will still just see a disordered system becoming more disordered, because there was never any surprising ordered state built in to be uncovered later.

This is circular. If the system is becoming more disordered, it follows that playing it in reverse will make it less disordered. Sure, if the initial state wasn't very ordered to begin with, this won't look very different, but that's entirely irrelevant: as long as we accept that "disorder" is a measurable objective property of a system, then there is a quantifiable difference between moving forward and backward in time. And this doesn't match either a deterministic time-reversal symmetric theory like classical mechanics, nor a deterministic CPT-reversal symmetric theory like QFT.
> We will not be discouraged in our fight against far-right ideologies

It is very unfortunate that there are people who try to sabotage a non-profit infrastructure like Codeberg. A code repository is a very useful and completely non-political infrastructure that benefits all developers, regardless of what they believe in.

But that said: how do they really know that "far-right forces are behind spam attacks"? Is it just because of the text of the spam messages? Or have they found more compelling evidence, that it was indeed a targeted, politically motivated attack from the right-wing camp, and not just a couple of crazed teenagers who were bored?

Compare the results between the current code and the proposed version. Analyze what the new version blocks that the current one doesn't and vice versa. Have logging that shows which factor(s) were applied in the actions taken. Determine if the outcomes are in line with the intended goals.

This can be accomplished in a few ways. You could accumulate real URLs and build a test set that you can run in non-prod environments prior to deploy. You could also deploy the new version alongside the current version, both watching the live data, with the current version retaining enforcement power while the new version is in log-only mode.

In the case of automated systems that might create new actions in response to live traffic, anomaly detection can be used to look for significant changes in classification and/or rate of actions, spikes in actions against specific domains, etc.

No, I meant the Norman conquest (conquête) in 1066, in which the English aristocracy (aristocratie) was replaced (remplacé) by French warlords, who kept speaking French until well in the 14th century, and changed the English language (langue) beyond recognition (reconnaissance), to the extent that Dutch or Scandinavian speakers find it easier to understand Old English than English ones do.

You might view the Hundred Year War as quarrels (querelles) of different (différent) branches (branches) of the French aristocracy.

Therefore, the current (courant) Anglo-Saxon hegemony (hégémonie) has its roots in France.
> If he doesn’t succeed, it’s hard to see how the Austrian school of economics can continue.

just to point it, but he isn't applying much of the Austrian ideas in Argentina. The stuff he ends-up doing tends to be out-right run of the mill monetarism. He didn't do anything new or revolutionary.

Do the Austrian school economists even have ideas that can be applied as a shock, like what you can do in a single year?
Yeah, I can imagine it would bother some people as it's rather unnatural. Having a setting to toggle it is a nice touch. I could imagine that it might even induce motion sickness in some. While this doesn't give me motion sickness, I have experienced it from other not-quite-natural effects. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause.
