Last summer I made an attempt at befriending a crow. It actually went pretty well, but the treasures that he brought me blew my mind:

* French fries
* Cooked pasta, maybe baked ziti?
* BBQ ribs, but just the bone with some sauce on it
* Chicken nuggets
* One dead bird, conveniently opened for me
* Several whole dead baby chicks
* One baby chick's head

I stopped feeding it after it kept leaving us, and my neighbor, the dead birds, and it was fowling (ha) up the water in her bird bath. It loved blueberries, cat food, pepitas, and walnuts. It did not like apples and would toss them aside.

I would shake my car keys when I put the food out, and it would show up a few minutes later, but I never figured out if it just saw me or heard the keys.

Here's some video clips of my buddy:

Actually they can.

For eg. Some green card holders live overseas. They are required to visit here periodically to keep status alive.

I know of cases where their green cards were revoked
1919. Pfft! My cousin has bought and is converting a church where the oldest bits are 12th century (although the tower is 17th century, and it was extensively redone in the 1830s). At the rate he works, he's probably going to be working on it for the rest of his life.
Sigh. That's no different than "Please install this App" or even "Please read me this code". Yes, user-mediated authorization is an extremely difficult nut to crack. There will always be holes. There will always be unsophisticated users. But if you agree (and you do, right?) that people want to use external USB devices on their own devices, then you have already accepted that risk.

Freaking out because of the specific technology used to deploy the software is mostly just whining. This being HN, at least 60% of the resistance to web apps having extended capabilities is because of the company building the browser.
I don't work there, so this is just a guess. It's likely a "whole new thing" with Siri being the name kept for marketing.
Does Zen plan on taking payments at some point? Key part of the idea is paid development.
Because no one goes into journalism to report the news, they go into to influence public opinion. This is done largely by deciding which stories to amplify and to kill, and which information is presented in which order. That is a subtle art, this person seems to lack subtlety.
Well... About a million dead and a million enslaved might disagree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_Wars . He murdered/enslaved for political gain back home, then killed the people who opposed to him back in Rome to stop democracy.

I don't want to compare to these other guys because obviously it was a different time/culture and you can't really make such broad sweeping comparisons. I won't judge people for admiring him because I also appreciate a lot of his political and strategic savvy. But he was a very violent dictator.
effectiveness, professionally, is creating value for your clients and employers. the ratio of value to cost is how efficient you are as an engineer. it is all efficiency.
Okay, but gasoline is far more energy dense than batteries and a gas tank is a whole lot cheaper than a battery pack, so vehicles can have a gas tank big enough that that doesn't cause range problems. I don't know about buses, but you can buy a pickup with a 48 gallon tank. Even after assuming only about 1/3 efficiency, that's still equivalent to some 500 KWhr, which is several times more than any consumer EV I'm aware of.
Instead we have things like Image Playground, which are not only their own app but apparently so important that they get a badge in Settings until you acknowledge its existence.
In Portugal and I believe most of the world outside the US, Instagram and FB are king. Tiktok is also popular with the younger generations.
If I understood correctly, in practice they show actual speed improvement on high-end cards, because autoregressive LLMs are bandwidth limited and do not compute bound, so switching to a more expensive but less memory bandwidth heavy is going to work well on current hardware.
> Why is it expected that kids should be able to walk to school?

Because we typically don't let kids drive. If they're able to walk to school then they can walk themselves to and from school without the help of an adult (even one driving the bus), once they are responsible enough to.
Why does a sound bar need a firmware update?
Ha the font looks great; but this seems to be pushing the boundaries what fonts themselves were designed to support, definitely "hard mode". What is the intended use case?
What you're doing by comparing it to phrenology and astral projection is just reductio ad absurdum.

It's not controversial that some personality traits might have genetic roots. It's also not controversial that humans who evolved in different regions have slightly different genetics.

His research combines the two.
> This is nice but doesn't cause change.

Absolutely true, as I said, my goal with this isn't to cause change.

> quietly letting it happen while simply trying to ignore it and not participate might be a worse outcome in their own moral system.

I agree, and I certainly wasn't intending to discourage actively working for change. I put a great deal of effort towards effecting change in other ways. On the other hand, if people started thinking more about what they're actually supporting in their regular purchasing decisions and taking that into account, that also supports change, but in a more holistic way that just targeting a few companies for a boycott and ignoring the impact of supporting the companies that aren't being targeted.

The truth about change is that there's no magic wand here. There's no single sort of action that is effective. It takes a broad effort from many different directions.
(regarding size - there are tools like sizoscope to understand what is taking space, sometimes it’s something silly like rooting a lot of metadata with reflection referencing many assemblies or because of abusing generic virtual members with struct parameters in serialization, obviously if you can use Rust without productivity loss it’s fine, but usually problems like that take an hour or two to solve, or less)

But in either case binary sizes are smaller and more scalable than what Go produces. The assumption that Go is good at compact binaries just does not replicate in reality. Obviously it’s nice to be able not touch it at all and opting into Rust for distributing native SDKs. Go is completely unfit for this as it has even more invasive VM interaction when you use it as dynamically linked library. NativeAOT is “just ok” at this and Go is “way more underwhelming than you think”.
If the database team designed a thoughtful API with stored procedures, this can actually be a quite nice way to interact with a database for specific uses.

Being 100% hard and fast on that rule seems like a bad idea though.
How isn't ICE the American secret police?
Have you used Edge? It had clippable discount coupons built-in the last time I did. No thanks.
Sorry, I don't follow. The man has no track record of previous research and applied to several Ph.D programs; of course he was rejected.

Good on him for sticking with his hypothesis far enough to research it thoroughly, write it up, and publish it in a peer-reviewed journal, and now that he has done that work, he might start to turn heads in a Ph.D program. But otherwise, rejection from Ph.D programs after applying with an idea and no credentials is a bit like saying "Based on my new theory of radiation-proof ultra-thin materials, I applied to NASA, ESA, and JAXA for a head researcher position but was unceremoniously rejected." Of course you were, mate. You have no demonstrable history in the field. They want to see at least a working spacesuit prototype first.
Making Retail Mage: A New Approach to AI in Games
Last year, my startup launched Retail Mage as our first answer to the question of if there was any point in introducing ML/GenAI into the real-time gameplay loop. I hope this to be the first of a series of articles on what we learned.

Some other highlights, specific to the Hacker News folks:

- We have our own AI backend, running in AWS.
- Costs were a major issue and we did a lot to lower it
- We use a hybrid approach of mixing traditional game AI with machine learning
- We have not just AI NPCs, but an AI world interaction model

Anyway, happy to answer questions!
That's efficiency, not range. Suppose hilly terrain reduces range by a third for electric vehicles and half for diesel. The diesel bus just fills up twice as often. The electric bus needs a 50% bigger battery in order to finish the same route without stopping to charge, and then it becomes 70% because it has to lug the bigger battery up the hills.

You can just... do that, but that doesn't mean it's not a thing you have to do, and it's not free.
Uh... you can't "flash firmware" via USB HID. WebUSB in fact does not allow raw access to arbitrary devices, it works with specific defined protocols.
Sort of. You need to spend more time in the US than not, but even if you do 6 months every year, there's a high change you'll start to get tough questions when you try to reenter. Longer periods, it gets worse.

That said, the GC will only be taken away if (a) you give it up (you can be pressured into doing so though) or (b) an immigration judge takes it away (CBP can send your case to one if they think you are not living in the US)

This is why a reentry permit exists and that's what OP is talking about. It allows one to leave the country for two years and can be renewed (not guaranteed though).
Answer to the question: political reasons and lobbying.

Hydrogen is produced by the big oil and gas companies. By pushing hydrogen vehicle instead of battery electric vehicles they stay in business.

They market hydrogen as a green alternative to oil, although most hydrogen is currently produced from fossil sources, and this won't change soon (next 10 years).
My responses in order:
1. Green card applications are prospective in nature, meaning they concern what the applicant will do after getting a green card so what an applicant is doing now, before getting a green card, shouldn't matter strictly speaking but switching to H-4 and stopping work could cause USCIS to question whether you intend to work in your EB-1A field after getting your green card. To be clear, however, the risk of this is low and USCIS's concern if raised easily rebutted.
2. Yes but you would need the original receipt or approval notice (combined with your existing visa) to get back in. Make sure to speak with the company's attorney about this/travel.
3. Unlikely, since the EB-1A isn't based on a specific offer of employment but as noted above, a change to a different field could raise questions about whether you will continue to work in your EB-1A field after getting your green card. To be clear, however, the risk is low that a job change in the EB-1A context would trigger an RFE by USCIS.
Hologram Roadmap Unveiled: The Path to ElixirConf 2025 and Beyond
Hey Elixir friends! For those following Hologram’s progress... I’m excited to share that I’ve just published the official roadmap for Hologram. You can check it out at: https://hologram.page/docs/roadmap

The roadmap page provides a comprehensive overview of:

- Development Plan: Featuring both immediate priorities (before ElixirConf 2025) and medium-term goals (after ElixirConf), with features listed in planned order of implementation

- Feature Status: Detailed breakdown of what’s already implemented and what’s coming next

My immediate focus is on key improvements like optimizing client bitstring performance, implementing component-level rerendering, completing DOM events support, and adding cookies and sessions functionality.

The page also includes detailed status tables for various framework components, including the template engine, framework runtime, and Elixir client runtime features.

I hope this transparency helps the community understand where Hologram is headed and what to expect in the coming months. I welcome your feedback and contributions!

What features are you most excited about? Let me know in the comments!
It is, because it's easier to get started with certification and experience in ultralights than in full-size planes. It won't be long until we see bush capable Cessnas, I think.
Guilty may be the wrong word but you should be aware that you got lucky. Like a lot of "self-made" men who got lucky and then tell others that they could achieve the same if only they worked as hard.

I hate articles "I did X and so can you". No, people often can't do what you did.
I forgot about BlueSky since, around ~2 months ago, every last person I followed on there moved back (reopened) to Twitter due to the user number falloff... I am so out of the loop now
Regenerative braking is nice but as sibling pointed out it doesn't nearly recapture everything. Another factor is that the additional load whether accelerating up a hill or braking down one puts more current through the system. In fact nearly every part of the drivetrain will experience accelerated wear under those conditions, mechanical or electrical. Cooling systems, too. Properly spec'd, it's of course very doable, but it's true hilly terrain is more difficult.
The irony of Meta trying to stop her from promoting the book is that it's... promoting her book. Any press is good press etc.

This book prob wouldn't have even blipped my radar were it not for all of these stories about how they're trying to stop it.
Even if it continues, there are many in the TPS community that will be stuck in odd situations that prevent them from daily life such as not being able to get drivers licenses.

The malice, the excuses for this nonsensical system, and more have permanently damaged some of my close relationships. It's times like this when people show who they truly are at heart.
I watched an Andrej Karpathy video recently. He said that hallucination was because in the training data there were no examples where the answer is, "I don't know". Maybe I'm misinterpreting what he was saying though.

Don't most countries grant citizenship to children of parents from that country? I'm sure there's lots of bureaucratic issues if they were never recorded in the parent's country though.
Genetic situations that can put your (future) kids at risk
> Nope! Citizenship is a basic human right. No one can be deprived of it.

Unfortunately not true. Yes, it's a human right. Yes, there's all sorts of international agreements trying to prevent it (because it's a real mess that nobody wants to deal with), but it still happens.

This is more likely for countries that force one to renounce their birth citizenship. Not all those regimes want to take them back even if the option is statelessness.
Steam is a very convenient and beloved marketplace but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a solid DRM and anti-cheat measures built in.
This really isn't an immigration question but a corporate/employment/payroll/tax question.
RCS texting updates will bring end-to-end encryption to green bubble chats
While I agree with the sentiment, Bluesky is not the answer to fixing social media.

Tariffs Are Proving 'Big Headache' for Tech Giants, Says Foxconn
selling out is a marketing piece. If they wanted to raise money for development of AT Proto they could raise more by taking backorders and shipping when available. Selling a limited edition in order to sell out is because it's cheaper to get people to write about you than it is to buy ad placement.
To stress that an open browser is more important than extensions on a closed browser.
Depends on how you look at this. L visas are not subject to lottery, but then that brings much more scrutiny from USCIS. Also, you are tied to your employer, you cannot change jobs easily. H visa, once you get it by lucky draw, gives you much more flexibility. And it's perfectly fine to use H-1B for intra-company transfer.
Are the typos on purpose for opsec reasons?
You're downplaying "Of course those were interlaced to two sets of 262.5 lines". That is what makes interlaced video 59.94 different images per second, and the difference between 30hz updates and 60hz updates is most definitely noticeable.

The eye's response to changing color is slow, but the response to changing luminance is very fast.
Is there any bus route anywhere that never goes more than 15 minutes from the depot?
"Part 1" being a handful of paragraphs with no substance to persuade you to come back later. That's literally brain rot content.

Thomas, I'm not trying to be harsh, but also consider what the point of putting unfinished content into the world is in this way and without being able to edit it as a cohesive document. When I work on my website, I often publish half finished pages, but that's because I welcome contributions. Depending on the article, I do wait until it's done to publish though.

I do think the subject is interesting though, I just would like to see it discussed in full, not a part one that's so brief.
Those aren't really "scoring agencies". The credit reporting agencies make most of their money with mortgage lenders by selling high-quality data. Credit scores are more of an add-on, and mainly of interest to other types of lenders dealing with smaller loans who can't afford to do rigorous underwriting themselves.
Of course carrier-based RCS services have lawful intercept features. Governments wouldn't let carriers message people through their infrastructure without it.

However, if all the message contents are encrypted, they can only map out who's talking to who when from where (which is most of what they probably want anyway), but the files and message contents are unreadable without having a copy of the key storage of one of the recipients.

The encryption method used, MLS, seems pretty solid. It's based on Signal's ratcheting encryption mechanisms but for groups without exchanging tons of keys. Google has been using it with RCS for a while (though I believe they used plain old Signal's protocol for 1-on-1 messages). Now that MLS is part of the GSM spec, I expect their messenger to switch to the open standard instead.
Well, the definition of 0ºC is based on the freezing point of water at one atmosphere of pressure, which isn't super relevant on the Moon. You could give it in K but that's not very relatable.
I always think "Ah, that one E2EE chat app that made a cameo on Mr. Robot"

But at first glance at the thesis of the research project, there's every reason to doubt the two combined would make any sense here. Among the immediate initial questions it raises is "Most East Asians don't live in subzero temperatures any more, so why do they still act that way?"

One has to remember how many absolute crackpots institutions of higher learning have write in every year. Now that he's done the heavy lifting on his own, there's a paper that can be discussed, but no shame on any institution that saw a nobody in the field coming in with an idea likely to fail to hold any water that went "Yeah, we're going to invest zero resources into that."

Comparison to phrenology, for an unknown quantity, isn't absurd; it's kind of the status quo for universities getting solicitations from strangers. That channel of communication is where the perpetual motion machines, time cubes, and proposals to go find the resting place of Atlantis come from.
Thirded. Plenty of 40+ geezers on trading desks who have been doing the same job for a decade or two (although that job changes constantly, of course).
I have those, desperately checking if they don't auto-update... whfff, luckily no.

I never patch such devices as long as they work, the only exception is phone and desktop. Those idiotic phone apps to tweak some minor stuff - thank you but I couldn't care less, I install maybe 1 new app to my phone a year and no, it won't be due to buying some effin' loudspeakers.

There is simply 0 real gain for me and always non-zero risk. Even those I hate updating, but grokking they are too important to leave some known hackable surface open.
Twitter is very usable once you block Elon and the unhinged conspiracy accounts that he retweets.
More or less, I am being incredulous that they "didn't make enough oops", it's ink printed on a commodity, there is essentially an endless supply available, so it's a choice to sell out.
I have a Hisense, and the one that I got (65U8G) isn't full of crapware and has a great picture. I played the panel lottery and won.

They do, of course, sell some very low-end sets.
Show HN: BubbleByte, Open-Source SFML Incremental/Idle Bubble-Popping Cat Game
Hello HN!
Today I published my second open-source (and commercial) game on Steam.

BubbleByte is an incremental/idle/clicker game with tower defense elements that I built with my girlfriend — all inspired by my cat Byte’s fascination with soap bubbles.

In short: you start as a lone bubble popper, earn money by building up clicking combos, and purchase upgrades and cats. As the game progresses and you discover more types of cats, the automation aspect kicks in: by strategically arranging cats of different types in the right way, you can start earning a lot of money very quickly!

There is a prestige mechanic that grants game-breaking permanent upgrades, and a map exploration mechanics that unlocks legendary cats with unique minigames and mechanics.

It is built on top of SFML (more precisely, my VRSFML fork) and ImGui, all in Modern C++.

I'd be happy to hear what you think!
I wonder if the surge in productivity would hold up if you also take into account the productivity of delivery people, who are with the move to delivery apps as much a part of the kitchen-to-table pipeline as the people working in the kitchens. I don't have any data on what they typically make, but my very anecdotal evidence suggests it's usually not much, especially when you take into account the gas, wear and tear on the car, etc.
Yeah, it's just insane that within .25 mile of a school, there is insufficient sidewalk and signaled crossings to allow walking. It's a complete failure of urban planning.
Thanks, you beat me to it. While it is more expensive per watt, that's a sunk cost: you've already paid it when you were consuming the hydrogen to make the bus move.
Are you not using librewold-overrides.cfg to disable/enable features that you want/need? All of the things you mentioned are just flags you can set in the file to turn them on or off.

> I then wondered, is this mere coincidence, or do extreme cold/polar environments cause this in people? I recalled Russia had gas workers in the Arctic regions and tried to look up papers on it. It led me down a rabbit hole of discovering entire troves of scientific literature from various nations that had polar programs, with tons of data on polar personnel psychology, most conveniently refined into personnel selection criteria that shows which traits are the most desirable in candidates for polar work or expeditions.

Cause it in individuals? Or select for it through evolution?

If the former, there's no genetic component here, and the effect should vanish as soon as you get somewhere warm.

If it's the latter, then it can't cause it in individuals who happen to work there over local-winter, right?

If multiple answers are equally likely, couldn't that be considered uncertainty? Conversely if there's only one answer and there's a huge leap to the second best, that's pretty certain.
For the sake of argument let’s say an artificial neural net is approximately the same as the brain. It sounds like you agree with me that smaller programs are both more efficient and more effective than a larger neural net. So you should also agree with me that those who say the only path to AGI is LLM maximalism are misguided.
