Since it is naturally occurring, it isn't patentable. Which means it is less likely that companies will develop a commercial product from it.

Why pay to get FDA approval, if you don't get a government granted monopoly on it afterwards?

More money if you do, more money if you don't (2014)
The agreement was essentially "You promise to give us 50% of the proceeds of any new mines you open. We promise you absolutely nothing, but maybe we'll try and negotiate a ceasefire."

This was revealed to be the formal agreement precisely 1 hour before the planned meeting.

Russian state media were invited into the Oval Office for the meeting.

Then Trump set about lying to Zelensky's face about how Zelensky started this war, about how much aid had been granted, and about other things. He appeared to be attempting to ritualistically humiliate Zelensky and Ukraine, demanding that he kowtow and suggesting that Ukraine owed Trump half a trillion dollars.

Zelensky was very upfront about needing security guarantees from the US and a permanent brokered peace to sign anything, not just the idea of seeking a ceasefire.

He didn't get that far. Because he refused to cry on camera and essentially offer an unconditional surrender to Trump, he was driven out of the White House. Trump then proceeded to comment about how this was all a set up, that he needed to illustrate to the world how terribly ungrateful Ukraine was, that "That's why I kept this going so long".
Even simple regex ones, since we don't know if they were created by a human or an AI.

While it's nice to have a backup video site, it really makes me miss the 90s style internet, where we had protocols and servers separated from clients.

What you really need is to be able to trivially publish videos to something like IPFS, and have a large contingent of folks out there using convenient local video apps so there's a market for the content. I could imagine something like "community indexes" (perhaps a spiritual descendant of Usenet) to help find content, playlists, etc. and handle recommendation ML stuff locally.

If we had been a little more wise and avoided the walled gardens of social networks in favour of identi.ca or GNU social etc. aeons ago, we would be in a better state now in many ways.
I remember people from Sandia National Labs using LIDAR to monitor pollution around Albuquerque circa 1990. Turns out this been a thing for a long time:

and is still going on

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ab9cfd

https://idstch.com/security/lidar-technology-revolutionizing...

I think in those cases you know what the pollutant is that is in a gas that you know what it is and want to make a quantitative determination whereas the system described in that paper is supposed to make sense of some random gas.
Lol, what. You're right, we all saw what happened.

Trump was calling Zelenskiy a "dictator with a 4% approval rating" (it was 52%, now 68%) the week before! He and all his cabinet appointees keep equivocating on who started the war. He keeps lying about how much value has been given to Ukraine (it's less than half of the 350b he claims). He went on a tirade about how he and Putin "went through the Russia hoax together". Vance has leaked text messages from months go saying he "won't even take calls from Ukraine".

>“Dude I won’t even take calls from Ukraine,” he told Johnson in October, about three weeks after House Republicans blocked additional aid to help Kyiv repel the Russian invasion. “Two very senior guys reached out to me. The head of their intel. The head of the Air Force. Bitching about F16s.”

Trump was never truly interested in a fair deal. He wants an arrangement that will let him suck up to Putin while quickly claiming success no matter how dogshit the terms are, and Zelenskiy isn't enough of a pushover to give him that.
Show HN: LLM Globber, a Rust-based command line tool to package code up for LLMs
LLM Globber is a command-line utility written in Rust for collecting files from various locations, filtering them, and outputting their contents to a single text file. This tool is designed to prepare local files for analysis by Language Learning Models (LLMs).

We already do that. However not all plastics and be determined that way. Black plastic in particular often cannot be figured out (since the laser as absorbed) and so even if the plastic is easy to recycle it is often land filled.

There are open questions on if recycling plastic is worth bothering with at all, but that is a different debate.
I knew someone who hated it and would instead install windows 2000 on everything. And he would do so claiming defiance of Microsoft for ruining the most perfect operating system only for money. Then when 7 came out he proclaimed he would never use a new windows again and remain on 2000 forever. I never really got why he was so upset. For me I didn’t like the interface that was in vista or in windows 8. But it wasn’t ever the end of the world. And this was all in the context of playing games! He didn’t develop software or anything. He also hated steam.
This is nonsense. The introduction problem can't just go away, and trust meshes, PKIs, and other schemes are all not panaceas.

Why on Earth would I trust some "site owner" (who are they? how do I authenticate them?) to operate an "onion service" securely and without abusing me? Do you not have a circular reasoning problem here?

Sure you do! You have to trust the other end, but since this is onion routing you have to trust many ends.
Are you gaslighting? Your comment is just above, you can reread it as many times as I have trying to extract any other argument with as little success.

The benefit is to the "father", obviously, in confirming paternity or alerting him of infidelity and fraud. It's either peace of mind or potentially life-changing. The benefit is incalculable.

Your only arguments for why immediately post-birth is a poor time are that it would be convenient for everyone else (including the perpetrator of the fraud) if the victim was unaware and continued to be exploited for some time (how long? when would be a convenient time for the reveal?). That is outrageous.
The funny thing about XP is that it indirectly made running 2000 as a daily driver a better proposition, because all of a sudden consumer hardware and software was being made to work on an NT kernel.

XP also had the benefit of riding Moore's law for so long that the "high hardware requirements" became lower than the cheapest hardware you could buy halfway through its useful lifetime, which helps with its perception.
If you can, try to rewatch it on a proper screen. The clothing and sets are incredible and the costume design and production design were nominated for an Oscar. It really deserves to be seen large.

Fair enough about your motivation, however you also to further in saying that the best way to achieve and exceed human intelligence is to first understand it. That didn't pan out for chess, it hasn't contributed much to our current SOTA approaches to many other problems where LLMs are king, and I'm not sure why neuroscientists are so confident in some future where their field is the key to intelligence when their track record of breakthroughs is so poor.

I have a question for those who understand this better than me. How do you tell the difference between "Moving fast and allowing failure lets you learn faster" break into "We've hit a roadblock and now we're just wasting money". It seems like they're getting close but of course the last 10% is much harder than the first 90%. Like they don't have the money for 100 more learning flights right? I suppose only they have the answer to this question, but less things failed this time than last time would be a decent metric.
In c++, I would write a single template for both paths, and make the compiler generate two functions for each case, so the ifs and checks are automatically removed. Then I would call each function with a parameter like "bool boundary". It's more maintainable
I saw a similar thing happen with a QA team's domains. Google flagged them as malicious and the company never managed to get them unflagged.
I’m basically quoting him.

If you really want to split hairs, perhaps I should have wrote “the work of a very stable genius”.

Quotes and sources below:

Trump mused about whether disinfectants could be used to treat the virus in humans – asking whether there is “a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.” [0]

Trump said that he “would qualify as not smart, but genius .... and a very stable genius at that!”[1]

"Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," Trump said at the White House coronavirus press briefing, adding: "Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way."

Obscurity as a single control does not work. That's what the phrase hints at. In combination with other controls, it could be part of an effective defense. Context matters though.
I'd like echo that statement. We are all less safe because of these assholes. This will escalate now, more and more countries will realize they cannot rely on the good 'ol USA anymore, and will arm themselves. MAGA has done more in the last 3 weeks to cause WW III than anything done in the last 50 years. It occurs to me again: Something that takes 1000 good people decades to build can be destroyed overnight by idiots. Fuck these guys to eternity.
> The only real difference between the two is MS dropping the weird tablet mode that nobody wanted/asked for.

I mean, that's a significant difference. It was well justified to hate Windows 8 when they screwed up the main UI for the entire OS as badly as they did.
I’ll take an organic enemy over an immortal, never-forgetting hive-mind machine any day

EDIT: this is getting dark, I asked Qwen2.5Max to verify my grammer and it responded with "I’d rather face a squishy, disorganized human villain any day than a hive-mind AI that never sleeps, never forgets, and is definitely plotting my demise in its silent, circuit-board heart. "
Actually it's just too short. To be complete, it would have to be like "security through obsurity _OF THE MECHANISM_."

Which basically means it was always a shit saying, like most fancy quips were.
Pessimistically but realistically, it doesn't matter if AI will perform better, it just matters if it's cheaper. A historical example is all the offshoring of mission critical code starting in the late 90s, early 00s. The code that came back was sub-par many of the times, particularly for the cheaper shops, but the executives got their bonus for saving money and bailed out. The new executives are now in charge of fixing the disaster of a codebase that they were left with.

I think history will rhyme with the offshoring trend but with AI this time.

Your memories are not serving you well. Windows 7 was very glass and very aero when it was first released.

You can disable the transparency and fake glossiness, but then it's just a pale blue glossy glass colour instead of transparent.
Nothing. As you can see almost 99% of the comments are not about it but about Windows itself and unrelated questions. This is a very common phenomenon in HN.
Calling 4chan an anime board is probably accurate, it started as a copy of 2chan, which was anime-focused. Taking a cursory look at the catalog of most boards on the site will confirm this, you will find an anime reaction pic with high probability.
> The minimum requirements for 7 dropped considerably

Nope. They were raised.

Vista's minimum requirements were [1]

A modern processor (at least 800MHz)
512 MB of system RAM memory
A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable

7's [2]

a 1 GHz or faster processor
1 GB (32-bit OS) or 2 GB (64-bit OS) of RAM,
16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) available disk space
a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

According to global firepower.com Germany is _way_ behind Japan.
Hard to explain otherwise, considering the amount spent?

Are you suggesting that’s false?

>After the administrator, William N. Bryan, the head of science at the Department of Homeland Security, told the briefing that the agency had tested how sunlight and disinfectants — including bleach and alcohol — can kill the coronavirus on surfaces in as little as 30 seconds, an excited Mr. Trump returned to the lectern.

>“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.”

The zeitgeist is shifting away from "wokeness" and people are testing the waters trying to see what they can get away with saying now.
I don't think those are the same thing?

For example, I'm in Canada. There's a trade war going on. Every business in Canada is now having to hedge their bets for whether and how long and how bad the trade war is going to be. And we all know the trade war is being driven by one person. So yes, "what are the odds of a change in who is running the country?" is part of that risk assessment.

That's not the same thing as saying, "here's $100k if something were to happen to the man in the funny hat".

Technically, you could construe both as hedging your bets. But in the first scenario I'm just making a decision for my business. In the other, I'm offering a reward to make it happen.

Now, that being said, I could see the water getting murky for a publicly traded company that positions itself in such a way that it would truly benefit from such an event, because then a violent member of the public could buy their stock and benefit financially from commitment that violence. But that's not what we're talking about with polymarket.

Polymarket is all about tying a specific financial outcome to a specific real world event that people could choose to influence. It incentivizes outcomes. Some outcomes would be hard to influence this way. For example, I don't think any bet of any size would influence who would win an election. But if the bet was "It would be terrible if someone did X, I'm betting $$$ that no one will", then the only question is whether the $$$ is worth it to someone with the ability to commit X.
Part-time. When I put in overtime, I book those hours into our time-management system which I can use at a later date to take time off when things slow down.
great quote - exactly that
I interviewed with SerpApi recently and feel compelled to share my experience.

The interview left me pretty frustrated. After multiple rounds and what felt like good conversations, I got a generic rejection with zero feedback. When I asked for some insight on what I could improve, I was basically told "we don't do that."

The process included a take-home assignment they claimed would take around 4 hours - which is a significant time investment, especially with no feedback afterward.

Additionally - I keep seeing these monthly HN posts (this is what, the third or fourth consecutive month?), which makes me wonder how serious they actually are about hiring. Are they really bringing people on, or just constantly fishing?

The remote-first setup and tech stack seemed cool, and I liked what I heard about the transparency values. But honestly, that transparency didn't extend to their hiring process at all.

If anyone from SerpApi is reading this - some actual feedback for candidates who invest their time with you would go a long way. Just my two cents for anyone considering applying.

But the scenario you described is one in which you need an equation explained to you. That is exactly the kind of scenario where it's important to do the calculation yourself to understand it.

Someone had the smart idea to re-write the taskbar and when they did, they did the modern take where they tried to strip every feature they didn't think was important enough to stop someone from buying the upgrade.

It's a good question! When you're testing websites, you've generally got a browser set up with a fake root cert so you can bypass TLS. In that situation, you want one of your browsers to have a different configuration than your daily driver.
In some of the Smullyan books he extends the knights and knaves puzzles to incorporate beliefs with sane and insane variants. This is common in his Transylvania puzzles, where vampires always lie, humans always tell the truth, the sane believe true things, and the insane believe false things.

The sane human and insane vampire always tell the truth, even though it's not the vampire's intent to tell the truth. Meanwhile, the insane human always makes false statements though their intent is to tell the truth (and they do, they tell you what they believe to be true).

So (2) in this case would be the scalar version of the function that takes a starting pointer, row stride, channel stride, and a row_length and channel_length. By setting the strides to 1 and lengths to max you effectively tell that function the whole matrix is leftovers and it just does the whole computation. Correct?

If you think of programs as logic then I see the lines above as a logical expression written in CNF conjunctive normal form, where each line is a clause.

whereas this...

$x = condition ? b : a;

...is like a nested logical expression.

And breaking the program down into clauses makes it easier to understand, for humans and computers.

To clarify: The deeply unserious way our current President tackled Covid-19 is why it got so bad in the first place. Once the Democrats took over, the plague was eradicated in short order, with vaccines, organization, and correct information. And NIH and Darpa funding is what allowed that vaccine to be created in the first place. Spare me the BS about operating warp-speed...the pharmas were doing that anyway. It was the critical mRNA research (now banned BTW) that allowed the creation of the vaccine. Facts are funny things.
