Yes, because there is no concept of "species" in nature, species is an arbitrary grouping we humans apply to the individuals and genetic lines that are actually involved in natural selection.

The female's genes are most likely to get passed down many generations if the males she mates with have genes that enable her male children to survive long enough to reproduce. Once a species gets into a state where females make a habit of eating the males during copulation, it can't readily evolve out of that state, because a female that is less aggressive will mate with males who can't succeed at mating with other females, leading to that line dying out. Sexual cannibalism is a local maximum.

So if at any point in the past there were evolutionary pressure that made cannibalism beneficial to the genes, we would expect to see it stick around until there's sufficient pressure against cannibalism to allow selection away from that local maximum.

I can ask a LLM to write a haiku about the loss function of Stable Diffusion. Or I can have it do zero shot translation, between a pair of languages not covered in the training set. Can your "language JPEG" do that?

I think "it's just compression" and "it's just parroting" are flawed metaphors. Especially when the model was trained with RLHF and RL/reasoning. Maybe a better metaphor is "LLM is like a piano, I play the keyboard and it makes 'music'". Or maybe it's a bycicle, I push the pedals and it takes me where I point it.

Along with the fact that a lot of american politics simply doesn't make much sense to me following it. So that also helps.

the fact that france's president put his stance forward and corrected american's president's blatant lie also contributed just a little in my ignorant tiny world bubble to really considering about france as a more trustworthy country and then reasoning from it to concluding it as true.

There might be many other countries as well who are more trust worthy than france , but certain events which put them in spotlight would be required for the normies like me to find it.

> Luther did an excellent job of correcting that at the expense of a schism.

Well, that was pretty much at the end of the medieval period, so for the vast majority of medieval times, the church let poor people starve and die whilst hoarding money, power and land. The church only really started to embrace charity and social care from around the 12th century or so. If we say that the medieval period was approximately 500AD to 1500AD, then it's a stretch to claim that the church was a bastion of social care.
Android tends to hang on to APs even if they're at a completely unusable signal level with no connection. Doesn't matter if fast roaming is enabled, doesn't matter if bss transition is enabled.

The only solution I've found is enabling the minimum RSSI feature on my APs, this forcefully disconnects any clients with a low signal.

Devices usually take 5-10 seconds to reconnect to the new AP after this happens, but will also sometimes will fail outright for a minute or more while Android insists on trying to connect to the old AP with a worse signal and keeps getting kicked off, before it finally gives up and connects to the stronger signal.

Raising the minimum data rate can also help, as long as none of your devices are really old and need them.
Scratch is not conducive to complex (traditional) projects, which I think is sort of the appeal for seasoned programmers. For my part, I woke up one weekend knowing I had to make a recursive bisection demo in it [1]. The effort I knew it would take vs the banality and lack of game play was really funny to me in an absurd way.

Scratch lacks functions with return values, but if you hack global variables to be like registers, you can emulate them and even do recursion. At least that's how I did it. The Cartesian plane has (0,0) in the centre, which is annoying if you're used to traditional graphics.

I have a young cousin who's intimidated by making the jump from Scratch into traditional game dev. I tell him that Scratch simplifies a lot of things, but it also makes a lot of things harder if you're used to regular programming.

I've kind of wondered about this a bit too. The respective visual quality side of it that is. Especially in a context where you're actually playing a game. You're not just sitting there staring at side by side still frames looking for minor differences.

What I have assumed given then trend, but could be completely wrong about, is that the raytracing version of the world might be easier on the software & game dev side to get great visual results without the overhead of meticulous engineering, use, and composition of different lighting systems, shader effects, etc.
With preying mantis and black widow it seemed, as their names suggest, very common for the female to eat the male after being boinked. However, it turns out that in the lab setting with a small closed environment, probably lots of lights and weird sounds, the female was freaked out, which led to her getting the first meal she could find, that being the male. In the wild, it does happen but as a last resort if food is scarce.

The orb spider figured out a hack: he ejects his member in to her after sex which keeps inseminating her from that point forward. Sure he dies, but he reproduces from beyond the grave!

Tell HN: Beware phishing via GitHub Issues notifications
I've seen a recent surge in phishing attempts that post a markdown phishing message as an Issue in order to trigger GitHub to (legitimately) send an email that looks like a security warning to all repo followers.

Show HN: A spelling bee for shape rotators
I built Spelling B- because, let’s face it, who hasn’t had a moment of embarrassment when autocorrect saves you from misspelling “embarrassed”? It’s a simple test of your spelling skills using everyday words that we all think we know perfectly well—until we’re proven otherwise.

This project is a labor of love, built mostly for fun. I did use some AI to help flesh out the functionality, but all the ideas, design, and challenges are 100% human-crafted. It’s just me trying to inject a bit of humor into our daily reliance on autocorrect.

I’d love for you to give it a spin and let me know what you think. Whether it’s a nostalgic nod to school spelling bees or just a light-hearted way to test your brain, I hope it brings a smile to your face.

Looking forward to your feedback and any suggestions for making it even more engaging!

Sure, I get that: when zero risk returns are low (or zero), investors must take on more risk.

I don't think this explains why the "good times are over" however. I think that is more related to supply / demand. Supply was low for a while as tech was seen as a dead-end in the early 0s due to outsourcing. In the mid 2010s the opposite was true - tech was seen as essentially the only viable career so lots of people went into it. Now we have the perfect storm of natural oversupply and the threat of AI.

I think the situation will eventually reverse but it will take quite a while.
If you're familiar with the space, ever heard anything that ticks all these boxes:

(a) git versioned

(b) CRDTs

(c) WYSIWYG but Markdown (esp GFM)

(d) front matter + markdown able to be SSGd

(e) comfortable UI for not-devs

(f) native (Swift) MacOS app, else Tauri/Electron self-hosted client+svc

(g) if online, OIDC / SAML SSO

Appears this can be cobbled leveraging Obsidian plugins, but unstable due to git vs. CRDT issues. And there are a few "CMS" for SSG stacks that almost but not quite meet this.
And United States still has regulations. Chevron doctrine is not a thing in Europe and European institutions do not get captured by NIMBYs when industry wants to build a railroad, a house or an apartment complex. There are no hundreds of governmental organizations demanding you impact assessments and environmental studies.

For crying out loud, as an American you cannot work on your own house, since a lot of labour is licensed (electrical work, etc) and taped in red.

The regulation Americans talk of in disparaging way is always the regulation that shifts and allows consumer/user surplus.

In-memory caches (lacking persistence) shouldn't be called a database. It's not totally incorrect, but it's an abuse of terminology. Why is a Python dictionary not an in-memory key-value database?
Actually it's quite old user name and I recall now how I got an idea for it, haha.
I like most of these patterns and have used them all before, but a word of caution using UUID primary keys: performance will suffer for large tables unless you take extra care. Truly random values such as UUIDv4 result in very inefficient indexing, because values don't "cluster." For databases, the best solution is to use a combination of a timestamp and a random value, and there are multiple implementations of UUID-like formats that do this. The one I'm familiar with is ULID. It's become a common enough pattern that UUIDv7 was created, which does exactly this. I don't know if it's possible to generate UUIDv7 in Postgres yet.

That's what they are.

We've been celebrating ignorance for a long time now. But this isn't like Xkcd's "lucky 10,000". This willful choice to embrace ignorance has deadly consequences.

Americans have a civic duty to vote, and they have a civic duty to be informed when they vote. This isn't like a local election where information is hard to find. Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do.

"Willfully ignorant fool" should be an insult as strong as "Fascist".

I recognize that anti-abuse is a neverending cat and mouse game, and hindsight is 20/20, but it seems like malicious activity like this should be easily detected - how often does a legitimate account suddenly post 300 issues across many different repos?

Part of the challenge may be the moderation effort with false positives if you make detection more sensitive, but it seems like some investment in a pending/flagged activity section with approval delegated to repo owners could work well?

In a past life, one of the more effective anti-abuse mechanisms was intentionally introducing latency between attempt and confirmation, on the order of a week. If every time you try to see if you've evaded detection takes a week to confirm, you can't iterate on abuse nearly as quickly and are more likely to give up and move onto other targets. Obviously the amount of acceptable latency you can introduce will depend on the system/product...
I’m not even sure I’d consider this a failure. Kickstarter is all about using community funding to get unique enterprises and products off the ground. This product is unique, and the designer obviously has learned a ton about manufacturing in China and going from “idea” to “fulfilled orders”.

Then change your code.

Every AP has a bssid (MAC address) that you can use to connect to specific AP.

It’s up to the code to figure out which one to connect to. The libraries have all the options.

When you do a scan you get bssid of the AP and strength of each signal. You can make a determination of when to rescan and reconnect.

The vast vast majority of the time I watch YouTube it's via an official client, and if you feel so strongly about your privacy I'm sure you're knowledgeable enough to sandbox your browser. You can always spin up a VM just for YouTube and run Chrome inside of that.

I rarely download public domain videos for music projects. But this gets harder every week. Eventually I'll just have to grab my phone with an analog audio jack and manually record back into my computer.

Or just download the public domain videos from another site. Yt-dl makes this phenomenally easier, but I definitely understand YouTube's motivations in blocking it.

Small off-topic, I see those boxed backpacks and think of their shoulders. On motorbike the box rests in the back of the seat but here all the weight is in the shoulders.

People who have done some mountain hiking knows that the weight of the backpack should be mostly in the waist, thanks to the waist belt (sorry if I don't use the right term, I've done most my hiking in Spanish ;) ).

I don't know how weight distribution would differ from walking but with some research perhaps they could carry more while staying more comfortable.
