I've always assumed that it's because pigs will eat human excrement. The article kind of, sort of, brushes on that. And that's gross and might be just the thing to push pork from a marginalized, lower class food to outright prohibited.
Unless I am badly misunderstanding the paper, this is about doing matrix multiplication on matrices whose entries are large integers. So far as I can tell, PAR2 doesn't do any large-number arithmetic at all, so I don't think this work will have any relevance for implementations of PAR2.

[EDITED to add:] Reading the paper a bit more carefully, the above isn't exactly right. It is about doing matrix multiplication on matrices whose entries are "large" but they're interested in using the idea for hardware design where "large" may mean not-very-large, building (say) 16-bit multiplies out of 8-bit multipliers.

But for software implementations (and I doubt anyone will be making special-case hardware for PAR2) small multiplications are not generally faster than large ones. Maybe you might be able to do more of them in parallel using SIMD, but I bet the extra additions and subtractions and general overhead would outweigh any gains in that setting.
Valibot v1 – The 1 kB schema library for TypeScript
Hey, everyone! I am excited to announce the release of Valibot v1. Valibot is a modular and fully tree-shakable schema library for TypeScript that helps you describe and validate your data with a type-safe and easy-to-remember API. As a 1 kB alternative to Zod, Valibot is perfect for validating forms and securing backend-frontend communication with a single source of truth. Check out the full announcement post on our website!
*nix filenames are series of bytes, not UTF-8 (or anything else) strings. If a find replacement doesn't accept valid (parts of) filenames as input, it's a bit unfortunate.
I don't know. I do know when I've worked in Gaza I've had to deal with Hamas because they are the defacto civil service.

It's the same story we're seeing in the west though, from Hungary to America to Turkey to the UK. Strongman comes along and correctly says "your life sucks", then says "it sucks because of this group of people"

Run with that message for generations, throw in members of "this group of people" actually killing your friends and family, and it's easy to see how that message works.
> But then it says people continued to eat pork in the area. Why?

The Levant area was very multinational. This is one of the things people get confused about in the Bible. Just because somebody is referred to as "A Jew" didn't necessarily mean they were of Hebrew descent or practiced the religion. Especially during Roman times the region was just called Judah. People of the era used the term "jew" generically to refer to people from that region. It didn't mean those people were Hebrew or even particularly religious.

Also the Hebrew people frequently drifted in and out of faith and frequently adopted the practices, religions, customs, and wives/husbands of other peoples.

In fact this is a major theme of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. If not THE major theme. It follows a repeated cycle of the people falling out of faith, bad things start happening, they beg and plead for salvation, God redeems them only to have the cycle repeat in their children's children.

So anybody who has read the Bible shouldn't be surprised when archaeologists discover pork bones or pagan idols among ancient settlements in the region. This is exactly what one would expect.

> How does it become pretty much the thing you remember every time you're out with your Jewish friends?

Because it is so conspicuous. Pork and pork products are used in a huge amount of foods and products. Even food that doesn't list it as a ingredient in restaurants frequently uses lard as part of its production.

So it actually requires a lot of effort to avoid it and one can't help but noticing when friends need to have special convesations with the waiters, etc.
I think we're talking about a different "they".

I'm talking about the Trump administration. They ran on strong foreign policy, want to use the military to deport people, and are ramping up to deal with China.

If you take a look at the graph you linked you'll see for the years in Trump's first term (2017 through the end of the time sequence data in 2023) that it goes up (after starting 2017 down as a result of the previous year's budget) year on year, not down.
I'm not sure what customs and border patrol would do if you refused to unlock your phone for them. I doubt they would just let you go.

> why if I increase supply does price not come down?

We're making more and more luxury cars, why is the price not coming down?

From looking around Omaha, I see they are primarily increasing the supply of high-end homes. It follows that for a given lot size, it's the way to get the biggest profit.
All nations use all power, soft and hard, to serve their interests, even nations which regard themselves as having the divine role of intermediary between humanity and God e.g. Vatican City, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

Soft power doesn't exclude hard power — though it is less painful to be on the receiving end of.
>To be fair, a prompt fed into a generative tool _could_ be considered an artist's creative expression.

Depending on if the prompt met other guidelines for copyright, it would be pretty uncontroversial to say you own the copyright on the prompt.

Copyright on the picture, is about as assignable as if you invited ten painters over to your house and read the prompt as spoken word poetry, then received one painting at random. The fact that your prompt won't reliably produce the same picture suggests that you are not in control of the artistic choices made, and therefore have no claim to the copyright.
Yes. Maybe PG doesn't care.
I guess you're right. Isn't the former more useful in general? I find myself reaching for `:Rg` in Vim much more often than `:Files` or `:GFiles` courtesy of fzf.

Tesla is also infamous for bad customer service and poor quality control though.

Impressive as the rise of Tesla and the Chinese cars are, this is a strong point for why more traditional car makers may catch up in the future.

This is ARM core with 2 threads per core. I wonder why and how Nvidia suddenly decided to do Hyperthreading on CPU. Especially no ARM.

But tbh, this is a daft question. It's like saying you can't have a policy position on gun control unless someone has shot at you.
“Supply” in economics is the function mapping market clearing price to quantity supplied. Even if all supply curves slope upward, that's not increasing supply with price, it is increasing quantity supplied with price.

> If sellers are not in a particular rush to part with a given good, for whatever reason, there is no reason for an over-supply to lead to lower prices.

This just says that supply isn't very elastic at that point. It's hardly the only market where supply or demand isn't extremely elastic. Understanding that supply and demand might not be straight lines of unit slope is an econ 101 concept.

> Real estate also has the handy benefit in it's basically guaranteed to hold value, and it's unexpected if it doesn't increase in value year over year.

And the unfortunate cost called property tax which puts a drag on any earnings and compounds losses.

It's an asset class like any other. My house did a real 2x after California's low property taxes over the past 20 years, plus there's my owner's imputed rent which is maybe worth another 0.5x for a total return of 2.5x. It's also had tax deferral on the earnings and the values are a little less volatile than the stock market. OTOH my equities did more like 8x over this time.
> Thinking of it I suppose I expected MacOS to be as intuitive as iOS...

It is intuitive, but by the sounds of things you have several years, or decades of Windows muscle memory and experience. If you fight against the way the OS works by expecting to match your experience with a different one, you're in for a bad time.

Apple introduced window snapping in macOS 15. It works, but there are better apps that perform the task. I don't use any myself; I've been a Mac user for over 35 years and have never felt the need to have my document windows tiled.

The menu is a discoverability gift! Pro tip - type a command in the search box under the 'Help" menu in any native app, and it will show you where to find it and show the shortcut if one is assigned.

macOS user gestures extensively for navigation around the OS, so look in the 'Trackpad' settings, where it shows the gestures and allows a degree of customisation.

Edit: Regarding external monitors, Apple haven't sold a non-Retina display for quite a while now. Apple being Apple expect you to buy one of their monitors, or at least one that they've blessed, so 4K really is a minimum.
They don't mention uBlock Origin Lite which does much the same and works with v3. It's a bit disingenuous not to do so.
Agreed. Tarrifs and doge are clearly being wielded to diminish US standing in the world. See also: shutting down relatively inexpensive aid programs that feed hungry people all over the world. And shutting down pro-democracy broadcasting throughout the world.

Our adversaries have never had a better opportunity to jump in as heroes. Or even just, not assholes.

Destruction of soft power directly by the tool in charge.

US influence around the world went poof in a matter of weeks. Xi and Putin couldn't have planned it better.
They do need refrigerated water.

Also note most goldfish are abused, they need huge tanks 40G+ if I remember right, and not the 8-16 fl oz bowls they're stereotypically kept in. And they need filtration and would do better with a water heater. So idk if pointing to goldfish is the best indicator, even if imo you're technically correct - the refrigerating system isn't really a lot to maintain and that's the main difference.
How can regulation be "controlled for"?

"Constant" was misused as a formal term, as admitted. Regulation is still always a varying factor and can't be controlled for. My other points stand.
Not directly, but the article does put a lot of weight on this, saying that investors feel more secure after the xAI valuation.

> "It also improved after Musk gave a 25 per cent stake in his artificial intelligence start-up xAI to investors in the social media company early last year. xAI has obtained a valuation of $45bn, and the novel arrangement has provided new security to X’s lenders and boosted the platform’s valuation."
Keynote discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43401831
Every time theres some news of the US trying to regulate Apple, people here respond with comments like "what about Google?!".

And when theres news of the EU trying to do it, they respond with comments like yours, accusing the EU of trying to fine US companies instead of competing with them.

In both cases, there are also endless (and uninformed) arguments about how Apple isn't a monopoly.

But yours also adds a new element to it, accusing the EU of being anti-Trump, so kudos.

The conclusion I've come to is that tech companies (particularly Apple) can do no wrong in the eyes of a lot of HN readers, and it truly is a waste of time to try and have a productive discussion on this topic. Which sucks, because this place usually does result in interesting discussions, more so than other sites (even if there are a lot bad takes)
> They liked the "Artemis Program" created by the Trump administration well enough that they simply kept it.

This cannot be overstated. Prior to Biden there was a long history of new administrations of both parties coming in and wanting to make their mark on NASA. Everyone wanted to be what JFK was to the moon race, which meant that whatever the previous guy came up with obviously had to be canned and replaced, so that the new thing would be their thing. NASA was jerked around for decades. You can't do 15 year projects if they're always cancelled after 8 years.

Biden coming in and simply continuing Trump's plan broke the trend. And yet Trump still needed to find a bone to pick to advance his cult of personality.
I'm confused. If you can vote, you must be a U.S. citizen. How is your life threatened?

How would Pelosi help you? She might have been happy about the TSLA rally after the Trump election, like many other Democrat share holders.
Vector operations like AVX512 will not magically make common software faster. The number of applications that deal with regular operations on large blocks of data is pretty much limited to graphical applications, neural networks and bulk cryptographic operations. Even audio processing doesn't benefit that much from vector operations because a codec's variable-size packets do not allow for efficient vectorization (the main exception being multi-channel effects processing as used in DAW).
This sounds like one of those stories in the US about a community crowdsourcing a ton of money for a little girl to get some life saving surgery that would be covered by socialized health care in almost any other country in the planet.

These stories are cheerful for capital.

Perkeep is very interesting on a fundamental level, as a concept and as a building block, but sadly hasn't received enough love to fully fulfill its vision.

Is this "conclusion" based a single social media post?

I'd expect that at the very least this release includes fewer redactions.

But I have yet to see anyone do the analysis.
Is it the processing of the image, or is the shine of the machine really a warm silvery colour?
Much as the article makes good points, I find it difficult to believe that the list of meats banned by kosher and halal matches the top allergies and disease risk factors as well as it does without some intent. Pork was, until very recently, the greatest risk for parasitic infection, insects in a similar spot. Shellfish are the top meat allergy, by a whole lot. Most of the rest of the rules about preparation amount to good practices for ensuring cleanliness or at least reasonable preservation and parasite prevention. There are exceptions, I can’t think of a practical reason for not allowing meat and dairy to come into contact, but the vast majority would have kept people healthier.

Whether it originated from an us vs them ideology or not, there were practical benefits for a population that made those choices that would have reinforced it in pre-modern times.
I'd need more info why I'd use this over wg-easy. The front is (as noted in the README) is the wg-easy front end. The one thing I see is it doesn't appear to require containers (but supports them).

This needs a real license too, the "free for personal use" statement in the README is not really an actionable license, and I wouldn't be comfortable building anything important on it.
Welcome to the Orphan Crushing Machine - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/orphan-crushing-machine
How to come up with the next prompt and how to judge if your AI did it right or not. Pairing with someone that has built an app via vibing does it all over again with the same prompts slowly, teaching the student why and how each prompt occured to them.

Example problems from project I just did:

this is a brand new project. Use react and node and sqlite.
Start with a splash page with login and regsiter buttons.
Use vite or esbuild.
Give me a test user username "andrewarrow" password "testing".
Once logged in have a logout button. Use tailwindcss."
change all typescript to just plain javascript.
remove all typescript from build process.
on the logged in Welcome to XVibe page, add a textfield.
The user can enter any youtube url and the server should launch
an external process to the program "yt-dlp" with that url as the cli param.
Store the file in a directory called "videos".
Name it a random uuid and the extension of the video type.
Use websockets to tell the frontend when the video is down downloading.",
now capture the stderr and stdout of the running yt-dlp processs for
"[download] 23.5% of 8.23MiB at 2.35MiB/s ETA 00:15",
add your first database migration for a new table called videos with a user_id.
Make logged in homepage display a list of all the users previous downloads.
add the file extension to the list of videos.
Make a button to run ffmpeg to convert a format to mp4 and
also capture stdout err for this and show the progress.
make each row in "Your Video Downloads" clickable and goto a
"video detail page" with a button for "get key frames".
This button should use ffmpeg to get just the key frame jpgs.
In the videos directory have a uuid as a directory and all the files
for one video inside that directory.
On the video detail page as the keyframes as ready display them.
add a button to video detail page for "get text"
change how "get text" button works to run
yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
and save the captions in a file
add a new button "parse captions" to video detail page.
It should open the captions.vtt and match up the text with the times
so that the display of keyframes can include the text below each keyframe image.
It's ok if it doesn't line up perfectly. Just in a nice big font under
each keyframe jpg try and have the text.
the parsing caption logic has artifacts like
"and but only<00:20:09.480><c" fix that",
when I click on a keyframe in the video detail page and it selects that's great.
But when I select another keyframe I want that 2nd keyframe
(and all the keyframes between) to highlight as well.
Have a new button for "extract clip" that makes a new video and
computes the starting point and ending points based on the selected frames.
Could also be correspondent with reductions in prosecution for minor drug charges, eg marijuana “offenses”. That’s my guess, since as you said, those studies are older. The substance abuse rate is higher for single mother raised children, so a shift in drug use penalization alone could dramatically shift “criminality”.

Anecdotally, I’ve been living in a place for the last 2 decades where single motherhood is the rule rather than the exception, in a matriarchal society. The infantilisation of men is, for my Western European sensibilities, pretty extreme. The men that are accountable and present are definitely the exception to the rule.

The difference in the treatment of children in families with men involved is so dramatically distinct that it is extremely easy to tell if a person comes from a family environment that was heavily influenced by male presence. It’s not a scientific observation, but it is an interesting insight. It’s like there are essentially two parallel cultures. Even the speech patterns are so different as to be easily discernible.
Man should write a tutorial on writing good utility software. Or teach even.

Edit: Made my points subjective

Harder for me. I thought I can while reading fiction. "Gravity's rainbow" proved that wrong too.

What I mean is, I am more aware of information flow particularly because it is not the natural way of consuming knowledge. Speaking language is in a way part of our evolution. But, written language is a skill you learnt, like driving a bicycle.

This unnatural way, makes me much more aware of my own thinking. While I am reading, even if I understand I stop and muse and breathe in and bask on thoughts it cultivated in me. It has not happened, for me, in other medium.
Could a corporation be the author of a picture? Corporations have all the rights of people in the USA, right?

I always wondered why we don’t just let AIs run corporations and therefore give them personhood rights.
But the image of the city (even if they occasionally visit) gradually becomes more blurred and erased over time, and slowly, on their mental map, only a few places remain—those associated with something personal. A few backdrops where various events in their lives unfolded.

This is so true, even for small hometowns. Yet I recognize that these old places while seeming listless to me and my cohort now as we have all moved on and our old haunts are closed or transformed, are very much alive to the young generations now.
Congratulations. That may be the most ridiculous strawman non-sequiteur I have ever read on HN. Truly reddit worthy.
> Is it not possible to be like Steve Jobs and not be an asshole?

No. Nicely calling out stupidity works in small groups. But humour and ridicule are more viral, which dominates in large groups.

It's honestly interesting to contemplate to what extent Steve Jobs' death might have created the vacuum into which the Holmes, Bankman-Frieds and Musks of the world stepped.
