I wish you could pick a language. Bahasa has a ton of dialects + txt, which make it difficult to guess sometimes.

Like "gua" in the dictionary means cave but in some dialects it's an informal "I". Sometimes it gets shortened to the phonetic "gue", sometimes "gu" which is similar to "aku" shortened to "ku", which is another form of "I". Really we have like 7 different ways to say informal "I". I think the tool guesses it as Chinese.

Malaysian tends to remove affixes when shortened, while Indonesian removes vowels but keeps the affixes, so something like "come here quickly" might be shortened to "come quick" or "here2 qkly". Less etymology, more about encoding.
You can even inline the dependencies:

America will continue to cripple EU consumer protection too.

The EU ruled that the app store has to allow side-loading in the EU, but y'all still won't get a good browser because both Chrome and Mozilla have said making a side-loadable browser for iOS is only worth it if it can target the American market too, and the side-loading is region-locked.

So sure, y'all can side-load apps in the EU now, but you still can't install uBlock origin on firefox on your iphone thanks to america. Fuck yeah.

Thanks for the details. I guess she got what she wanted; it would make sense that he would end up with a person just as cutthroat as himself.

My point still stands, however. I very much doubt that all his paid-for NDAs were for tech reasons.

I was there couple years ago. If you don't go to places you shouldn't, you are mostly Ok. I felt much safer in Peru than in Brazil for example. It is not europe or some parts of asia. But for central/south america it was farily safe. Not sure about some changes in the last years.
We already know that genes regulates speech - for example, FOXP2 [0] - and have successfully sequenced the human genome, and have started similar initiatives on other archaic human and primate species.

Phylogenetic Analysis has been fairly successful already in analyzing our genetic history, so I'm not sure why you'd think it's impossible.

You're right, we shall not do this, however when corporations have privileged rights over their consumers and their abuse of "the people of the nation" is not only ignored, but applauded for value generation, not doing this almost impossible.

I'm not from the US, but everything I see from a distance smells like power trip on one level below. HOAs abuse home owners, service providers abuse their users, corporations abuse their employees, etc.

That doesn't happen in the European side. When Bending Spoons bought Evernote, I was so sure that it'll be liquidated into the other tools they have and shuttered. Instead, every month, they're adding so much things and polishing it so much that I feel kinda bad for migrating away.

There's another way to do things.
I love how the most common negative thing I hear about rust is how a really uncommon data structure no one should write by hand and should almost always import can be written using the unsafe rust language feature. Meanwhile rust application s tend to in most cases be considerably faster, more correct and more enjoyable to maintain than other languages. Must be a really awesome technology.
From the top of my head, most are to make it as clear as possible that the file is binary and NOT text:

> MUST be the very first N bytes in the file

For every system to be able to parse it without loading the entire file

> MUST be at least four bytes long, eight is better

To reduce risk of two different binary files on the same system having the same magic number

> MUST include at least one byte with the high bit set

To avoid wrongful identification as an ASCII file (ASCII doesn't use the high bit)

> MUST include a byte sequence that is invalid UTF-8

To avoid wrongful identification as UTF-8 text file

> SHOULD include a zero byte

To avoid wrongful identification as ANY text file
Admitting that I'm straight, old, and have never paid close attention to the (ever-changing) ideology/politics of GLBTQ... - I suspect this is very similar to the prevalence of gays in IT, back in the second half of the 1900's. If you are uncomfortable, or unable, wrt/"fitting in" socially in groups of young, straight males (often noted for their excess of machismo, and pressure to conform) then "retreating behind a keyboard" can look like a great option. IT & programming seem (and fairly often are) meritocratic - in the "management don't much care who you are, if you can make the computers work right" sense. And at least since the late '60's, there's been something of an "oddball personalities" reputation to IT/programming. That's made it easier to mostly fit in there...while still being more yourself, maybe staying in the closet, and maybe sitting on the fence as you try to figure out who you are.

EDIT: Agree with tene80i's comment about "trans agenda". Every (n < 5) trans person I actually know has a big, angry chip on their shoulder - about people assuming that they are somehow associated with whatever the currently-trending assertions of the most-vocal 0.01% might be.

(And, yes, I get that "trans agenda" often refers to an ugly "Elders of Zion" caricature, constructed by nasty right-wingers.)

It's really hard to get these things across to consumers.

This is why we ended up with phrases like "Full HD".

The average consumer doesn't know what these numbers mean, people who read hackernews aren't the 99%. Phones have helped a little bit with widening the idea of newer = better, but ask the average person how many cores their phone is or how much RAM it has? They don't know.

Also, it's hard to benchmark TV performance as a selling point. Perhaps sites like rtings need to have UX benchmarks as well? They could measure channel change times, app load times, etc. That might create some pressure to compete.
A NN that has been trained by someone else on unknown data with unknown objectives and contains unknown defects and backdoors can compute something fast, but why should it be trusted to do my image processing?

For the wifi smartlife stuff, you can use the official cloud based integration or if you want local control, the unofficial tuyalocal. The official integration is really easy to use but if your internet connection drops, you can't control your devices so I prefer to use tuyalocal it still requires to add the devices to the smartlife app once and then you add a device from the addon by scanning a qr code with the app. Once this is done you have local control over the device.

Zigbee devices require more initial setup, you have to buy a dongle, install the Zigbee2mqtt addon and the mqtt integration, but once this is done adding a devices is a really simple process : you put the devices into pair mode and allow pairing for 90s in the Zigbee2mqtt page and rename your device to something

Python has been mostly working okay for me since I switched to Poetry. (“Mostly” because I think I’ve run into some weird issue once but I’ve tried to recall what it was and I just can’t.)

uv felt a bit immature at the time, but sounds like it’s way better now. I really want to try it out... but Poetry just works, so I don’t really have an incentive to switch just yet. (Though I’ve switched from FlakeHeaven or something to Ruff and the difference was heaven and hell! Pun in’tended.)
As you point out later, a SIGBRT or a SIGBUS would both be perfectly safe and really no different than a panic. With enough infra you could convert them to panic anyway (but probably not worth the effort).
Existence of language requires 2 mutation trees, one for hearing, one for sound making. Could this be why it took so long?
Probably just preference but I hate when apps put things in the documents folder, thats where I want to put the things I've created specifically, not automated config files etc. There should be a 'Preferences' folder or something to separate the chod in AppData from the useful stuff.
I guess it depends on what you mean by a build system. From my understanding uv build basically just bundles up all the source code it finds, and packages it into a .whl with the correct metadata. It cannot actually do any build steps like running commands to compile or transform code or data in any way. For that you need something like setuptools or scikit-build or similar. All of which integrate seamlessly with uv.

How does one formally define a spinor? I've seen the definition of a spinor field as "things that transform like a spinor", and a spinor as a "representation of the spin group" (which representation), but I would like to know a canonical mathsy definition of what the heck a "spinor" is! May I please have one? :)

It must be historical and also how cities are settled. South America has huge influx of uneducated, poor people into the cities. It is easy for them to get entangled in bad activities in the slums.

I recently checked out UV, and it's impressively fast. However, one challenge that keeps coming up is handling anything related to CUDA and Torch.

Last week, I started developing directly in PyTorch containers using just pip and Docker. With GPU forwarding on Windows no longer being such a hassle, I'm really enjoying the setup. Still, I can’t shake the feeling that I might be overlooking something critical.

I’d love to hear what the HN crowd thinks about this type of env.
The project looks cool, but I'd strongly recommend against the per-task pricing.

This makes budgeting & forecasting difficult to impossible for a lot of teams, and creates wrong incentives. It is better to have a per user pricing, and then allow them to use as much as they want.
Do you look like your name?
Something I find interesting on the internet is the number of times an LLM can decode a human’s intent better than other humans. Claude 3.7 Sonnet also makes the common misinterpretation here that “can guess fake words” means “can detect words that don’t have an established meaning” rather than “can guess an etymology for words that don’t have an established meaning” but I gave it the chance to try a word on the tool and interpret the title and it successfully did.

This is interesting because it may eventually become the case that we should interpret other human texts through an LLM because it is better at understanding than many of us are.

My prompt, in case you are curious:

Does the iPhone / iOS track the profiles of the machines it is physically connected with and when “Allow Access” is selected? I ask because I did not have face authentication or a password on my phone and my ex-landlords illegally obtained my exempt property and I would like to know if they plugged it in to their computer and potentially obtained personal files from it. Yes I know the lack of security was an oversight and failure on my part. I accept that. However, they also tried to steal my car and sell it and refuse to return my property they are not legally entitled to possess (“tools of trade” under Texas law). The legal process takes time so I’m just curious if such a forensics investigation is possible.
If we’re talking strictly about producing energy, yes, but this isn’t a method for more efficient or desirable solar energy production. This is an attempt to recreate the biomanufacturing processes of plants, so that we can use solar energy and rain to synthesise desirable organic compounds in situ. If we can do that, then it’s very exciting that we’ve blown plant efficiency out of the water before, because it means we should be able to do it in this domain too.

> you still can't install uBlock origin on firefox on your iphone thanks to america

I'm not American, but this stance seems extremely biased. We only have Chrome and Mozilla due to America. Nothing's stopping an EU-originated browser from appearing, and with the America-funded open source Chromium, they would have 99.999% of the work already done.
> Does NPM cache all versions it ever distributed?

Yes it does, that's the whole point. You can still go and install the first version of express ever put on npm from 12 years ago. You can also install any of the 282 releases of it that have ever been put on npm since then. That's the whole point of a registry, it wouldn't be useful if things just disappeared at some random point in time.

The only packages that get removed are malware and such, and packages which the vendor themselves manually unpublish [0]. The latter has a bunch of rules to ensure packages that are actually used don't get removed, please see the link below.

To be honest there's lots of little factual inaccuracies in that piece. The notion that the A600 was "fully software-compatible with the A500" just isn't true.

Usually, the need to use an ID is only for private persons (and usually only if they are nationals). Anyone else should not need that. The general theory is that a nation can only verify data that they themselves have.

Some ccTLD's have rules against registrations by people not located within the country that owns the ccTLD, in which case a valid national id or organization number would be required. From what I can see, .es does not have that requirement.

Hello,
Given that the majority of businesses have private subnets, I believe the primary question for which everyone is searching for a solution is how to access any LLM in a private subnet. Your suggestion can be put into action if this problem can be fixed.
I'm not surprised to learn anything because I worked at GitHub before.

GitHub is not VS Code. GitHub is a Ruby on Rails website with some React sprinkled on. You can't expect the same performance optimization from a website that a whole IDE has.
Who's using the LLM feature in all products?
Zoom has an AI companion, our HR system has one - who's actually using these features and with what purpose? Seems like they've crept in everywhere, but I've never seen anyone actually use them.
The car is no longer usable without the wheels, I believe the argument for Alexa would be that the core functionality is still usable without the privacy setting.

I don't see why we would need the FTC to fix this. If someone bought Alexa from Amazon and honestly expected it to be privacy focused, they just made a mistake and can learn from it. Problems don't always have to be solved by running to the biggest authority that can be found and demanding they solve it for you.
Does this actually work on anyone though. It just always feels so artificial that it's off putting.
Pardon me asking a question on a different tangent: This old-school typography is very neat to see. I've seen this in many Dover Publication books & even Mir titles from USSR.

We have to ask ourselves what we want. Because it's not GDP, you can't eat GDP or sleep under it, you can't even withdraw it from the bank. So more directly, how does it influence our life? (Of course GDP influences our life to some extent.)

>And in the new world of commoditized software, branding becomes even more important. After all, nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.

Seems doubtful. If the cheap option works just as well, why would you pay a bunch more just for the brand?

I don't think brand name alone will sustain anything close to Nvidia's current margins. Look at the "net margin" for industries that are brand-driven such as Apparel, Auto & Truck, Beverages, etc. https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile...

If an industry becomes truly "commoditized", brand ceases to matter. Do you know which farm grew the carrots you buy at the grocery store? Do you care? Probably not. That's because carrots are a commodity.

I'm not claiming full commoditization will happen. But the closer we get to that, the more profits will drop.
