> I've heard that few can speak Latin 'correctly', because the skill is almost useless

Not useless at all - speaking Latin helps you to better appreciate both prose and poetry. Understanding the sound of the language helps you to appreciate the word play and nuance. Also as children we learn language mostly by listening and speaking, not by reading, so it makes sense to learn Latin in that way.

There's been significant research on reconstructing classical pronunciation. But Latin was spoken as a primary language for over a thousand years, so the pronunciation naturally changed over that time and there were of course regional dialects - some of which evolved into Romance languages.

In reading Latin, it doesn't have a lot of silent letters (it does have some), so it's quite easy to read aloud a Latin sentence once you understand the basic phonetics. In classical times poems like the Aeneid were recited aloud, so doing so today makes sense.

Fluency is a somewhat subjective concept, but the growth of the internet has spawned a growing community of Latin speakers internationally. (I speak Latin at roughly a B2 level and am constantly improving).
Betting it's not him but his publisher. There is a massive industry dedicated to this sort of guerrilla marketing these days. If a company of a certain size is putting out a press release they will coordinate to have seemingly-unrelated articles show up in various news sources (think New Yorker but also, like, ArsTechnica, or even the HN frontpage.) Even though the articles aren't technically ads, they get the name out there so it's on people's minds, making them more susceptible to hearing about/engaging with the news.

I've seen this happen internally at my last employer, but have the impression that it's standard operating procedure in corporate marketing these days. It is quite gross and I'd like to see it banned wholesale (or at least the relationship should be mandatorily disclosed). But... we would need to believe as a country in regulating ourselves to do that.

I was talking more in general, not specific regarding auto.

Actually I did use C compilers, with K&R C subset for home computers, where auto mattered.

Naturally they are long gone, this was in the early 1990's.
Wasmtime 1.0: A Look at Performance (2022)
What data is used to train this AI? The article doesn't say anything about that (tough I have to admit I didn't read it super carefully). My first thought would be exactly all this historical data, but then you can't use that same data to test the AI's performance. Are different subsets of the available historical data used for training vs testing?
Not sure, but the less technical a story, the more brigading and gaslighting you get in the comments it seems. It is a bit like when there is something about apple, the entire comment section is people complaining about the fanboys in the comments. Who are not there. I exaggerate a bit of course, but in general it is the same with any 'divisive' topics such as AI, crypto etc. Technical discussion is minimal.

Either it's bots, or we are all just tired and frustrated. I know I am and it doesn't help to stay civil..
Yes and no. It's light pollution. It's this attitude that leads people to think it's OK to have way too loud cars/motorbikes and way too bright headlights etc. Photography doesn't affect others, but light and other types of pollution do. People should think more carefully about how their super-important projects and errands will affect others.

This is true, and what Machiavelli was talking about in his book The Prince. He is not talking about HOW to be an asshole ruler, he was talking about what other asshole rulers WILL DO, and how you will need to deal with that (as a ruler that does not wish to be a tyrant).
I don't think that's a fundamental problem. In say Rust (with its famously strict aliasing requirements), you obviously need some level of unsafe. You certainly want to ensure you don't hand out `&mut [T]` references that alias each other or any `&[T]` references according to either virtual or physical addresses, but that seems totally possible. I would represent the ring buffer with a raw pointer and length. Then for callers I'd construct `&[T]` and `&mut [T]` regions as needed that are never more than the full (unmirrored) length and thus never include the same byte twice. There are several existing Rust crates for the mirrored buffer that (though I haven't looked into their implementations recently to verify) presumably do this: slice-deque, vmcircbuf, magic-ring-buffer, vmap.

I do think though there are some downsides to this approach that may or may not be deal-breakers:

* Platform dependence. Each of the crates I mention has a fair bit of platform-specific `unsafe` code that only supports userspace on a few fixed OSs. They fundamentally can't work on microcontrollers with no MMU; I don't think WASM has this kind of flexibility either.

* Either setting up each buffer is a bit expensive (several system calls + faulting each page) or you have to do some free-listing on your own to mitigate. You can't just rely on the standard memory allocator to do it for you. Coincidentally just like last week I was saying freelisting is super easy for video frames where you have a nice bound on number of things in the list and a fixed size, but if you're freelisting these at the library level or something you might need to be more general.

* Buffer size constraints. Needs to be a multiple of the page size; some applications might want smaller buffers.

* Relatedly, extra TLB pressure, which is significant in many applications' performance. Not just because you have the same region mapped twice. Also that the buffer size constraints mentioned above make it likely you won't use huge pages, so on e.g. x86-64 you might use 4 KiB pages rather than 2 MiB (additional factor of 512x) or 1 GiB (additional factor of 262144x) as the memory allocator would help you do if they could be stuffed into the same huge page as other allocations.

>I think most people understand there is a difference between launching a website and viewing a website.

I don't think so, at all. Non-tech people at my work come to me and say "I couldn't launch Outlook this morning", or "Google won't launch". They don't mean that they are building an email client or search engine. Most people use "launch" in the non-entrepreneurial way.

I don't, no, but that's not the most interesting thing in my workplace. The most interesting thing is that despite working for a company that produces deep learning systems, none of the devs here (that I'm aware of) are using "AI" for production code. Almost all of us have been playing around with it, but so far haven't found enough value there to use it for real.

I tried 'Clean home' and it gave me:

Gather cleaning supplies (broom, mop, vacuum, cleaning solutions, cloths)

Declutter each room by picking up items that don’t belong

Dust surfaces such as shelves, tables, and electronics

Wipe down surfaces with appropriate cleaning solutions

Clean glass surfaces and mirrors

Sweep or vacuum all floors

Mop hard floor surfaces

Clean carpets (vacuum or spot clean if necessary)

Freshen up the bathroom (clean toilet, sink, and shower)

Organize items back to their designated places

Take out the trash and recycling

The piano is a new instrument, when it was created its natural "place" was within the C major scale (all white keys); while A major requires 3 black keys.

All instruments have a "sweet" spot for where they like to make sound. The baroque flute for example, prefers the key of D -- not C. The violin is very at home in the key of A.

If you sit down at a piano, and find a place to put your fingers a somewhat natural place would where there are two white keys beside two black keys.

And then press them in order.. C major scale.
As a classic, or "physics based" engineer, I'd argue that software engineering is pure complexity extract. Take away all the environmental variables, make everything a perfect binary 1 or 0, and then do engineering in that space. The only thing that can really give value in that space is complexity.

I've worked on some pretty complex electronics, but even the most insanely engineered projects don't even begin the scratch the surface of the complexity in an average commercial grade software program.
You need to have a big ego to take on the responsibility of a doctor. A lot of people can’t handle it emotionally so the job selects for people with narcissism or psychopathy. This is a very rough generalization but from my interactions with surgeons it fits pretty well.
To be honest, CSS is hardly the pinnacle of expressing a design either, and can in fact be viewed as just another type of Rube Goldberg machine. The question is whether Figma gets something right that CSS doesn't, if only a model more amenable to tool-asisted visual modelling.
Oh yeah I assumed so. I just thought it was weird to not mention it in an article about ESM becoming the standard JS modules format. Even if it’s not the most performant use of ES modules, I still think it’s certainly the most official “signal” of support to have it in all major browsers.

My counterargument would be:

If it is bellow ""living wage"" it should not be allowed.

(that was easy)

You can find other workarounds to incentive the hiring of disabled people and we (in italy) have a few:

-Requirement of medium and big firms to hire them (reduced ability, they can still perform)

For example where i work there is a janitor that has dawn syndrome and an IT guy with dwarfism

-tax breaks (so the worker still get paid minimum wage but to the company he costs less)
This is one of the most impressive papers I saw in a while. The authors generalize conventional neural networks (which heavily rely on floating point operations for both training and inference) to also include three valued and binary logic. Unlike existing BNNs (binary neural networks) this approach allows them to completely get rid of slow floating point operations, including during training. For example, for the non floating point case, instead of the conventional (infinitesimal) derivative they use discrete calculus where the derivative is defined as f'(x) = f(x + 1) − f(x).

But their framework is general and compatible with binary, ternary an floating point precision. So they allow for training mixed precision models, which is probably important for models which require high precision in some aspects to achieve high downstream accuracy. (As an example they cite image segmentation and super resolution, for which they also include benchmarks to demonstrate achieving high accuracy.)

The whole thing could substantially reduce training time, apart from inference time and memory requirements. (Most conventional BNNs only reduce the latter two, but still require training a full precision model first. Or when training from scratch, they still use floating point operations in various ways. Which probably explains why conventional BNNs are currently not used for training.)

The main limitation of their work is the fact that current GPUs aren't optimized for binary operations, only for floating point operations (mainly multiplication). So the authors calculate analytically how much their approach would reduce energy consumption during training, which should closely correspond to actual "compute" requirements on optimized hardware. For their benchmarks they show the calculated energy requirement to be only a fraction of the floating point base line (and even of other conventional BNNs) while achieving similar model accuracy.

It's also interesting to note that this is an academic publication (it was accepted for NeurIPS 2024) but sponsored by Huawei. So the full code is not available, though they provide a lot of implementation details in the paper/appendix. I wonder whether Huawei jumps on the opportunity and develops a machine learning accelerator for binary operations, which would compete with GPUs that are mainly optimized for FLOPs.
The lack of continued access leads a lot of people into fentanyl and other drugs.
Neither. What I was trying to say was that all tasks I listed are just there to please the binary gods, not to solve actual business problems. With Application architecture, I was more referring to the layout of the code, as in module boundaries, class inheritance, and so on.
For true Christian believers, of any sect, mortal life is just a temporary step on your way to an eternal life, hopefully one spent next to their god in heaven. Prolonging mortal life is not and cannot be a goal in itself for anyone who deeply and honestly believes that they have eternity in heaven to look forward to. Sure, technology can be seen as a gift from the Christian god, but using technology to prolong life is fundamentally unnecessary.
If it was just patent avoidance why aren’t there any non-apple laptops either their sound quality? Both the microphones and the speakers are some of the best audio I’ve ever encountered.
I would be surprised if Apple didn't have patents on their mic array, meaning that another manufacturer would ideally prefer if their setup is different and incompatible to reduce the chance of accidental patent infringement.

I'd search to see, but reading patents is an info-hazard which increases your chance of infringing, so I've quit reading them entirely.

2. The affective-emotional component: how much does the pain hurt, and how does it affect emotional state?

I am going to add the spiritual aspect to this. I read a post on Reddit asking if Jesus truly suffered more than anyone else on earth, given that more people suffer for longer than his 24 hours ish on the cross.

Without believing the story of Christ at all, I was still able to do the mental exercise to see that the nature of the pain had nothing to do with the duration. For example, watching your mother watch you get crucified is heart stopping (or to watch another mother have to go through that).

So, what is the purpose of a human feeling that pain as an experiencer or as an observer? Why would our body elicit that psychic pain, why wouldn’t we just focus on the physical and ignore these other things? In that moment, your only concern should be the physical, but it’s not just physical.

The psychic pain almost has no use in a state of physical torture other than to inform the conscious of its duty to morality. Unfortunately, I do not believe science can ever conclude this is the answer (in no possible way, I’m open to being wrong).
They can build up a force capable of annexing the strip of land between Belarus and Kaliningrad. They have a large number of experience troops and a massive number of conscripts, their drone capacity currently dwarfs Europe and is expanding. They also have hundreds of thousands of experienced operators.

They also have one of the most capable psyop machines in the world and a massive network of spies / 5th Column in place. They are especially strong in Eastern Europe and Germany.

So there's very much a risk that they try to hybrid style "grab" there then at a time when they have sown political chaos into Europe.

We can reduce the risk of we have overwhelming force available at hand - like we currently do as allies of the US - which makes any such move literal suicide as we would obliterate them.

Also - now this is my viewpoint - by committing to re-arming now and providing everything we have to help Ukraine kick Russia out of their country - a full rout of the Russians - we vastly reduce the risk of anything like that ever happening again and we set the conditions for the eventual liberation of Belarus and demilitarisation and neutralisation of Kaliningrad.

Basically: we get sharp fangs now so we can push the best time-line.

Also: there is an unlikely but not unthinkable scenario where American, under Emperor Trump (or Musk) switch to using gunboat diplomacy and bully Europe the way the British (and other European nations) bullied others in the past. And like America itself did to its neighbours in the Victorian times. So re-arming such that we have complete independence from the US reduces their leverage.

In a good timeline having both a strong Europe and strong US on the same side puts us in a very good place wrt China / India etc in the future.
Absolutely.

This applies to "negative" inventions, too: Eugenics was a pretty favorably and openly discussed concept in the early 1900s (e.g. Winston Churchill was a pretty vocal proponent), but Hitler basically gets all the credit for the whole idea.

Does it even matter when the attack surface is in userspace? Formally verifying seL4 against a potentially buggy specification does not provide any assurances about the user space code that must run on top to produce a working system.

If you subscribe to the idea that the mere use of seL4 makes things more secure, you might use seL4 as a hypervisor beneath Linux on machines that would previously have run Linux on bare metal and then you would be using seL4, but you would not have made anything more secure. The increase in the TCB would suggest such a setup is less secure.

The security of a machine using seL4 is dependent on what runs on top of it because seL4 is not the boundary between attackers and their targets. The only exception would be if you are a virtual machine provider and then seL4 would only be part of the boundary, rather than the whole boundary.

This prescribed bondage to normativity is a manifestation of ableism. Existence has no concept of supposed to be. Some people can see, and some people cannot. Some people can walk, and some people cannot. That survival in nature is easier for those who can isn't a value assessment. That society is structured to cater to some of those people more than others isn't an inherent moral good.

Show HN: StrategyHog – Free Custom Marketing Strategies in Minutes
Hey HN,

I’ve been working on a side project called StrategyHog and wanted to share it with the community. It’s an AI-powered app that generates custom marketing strategies for your startup or side project—just enter your domain (like https://www.strategyhog.com/domain.io), and it’ll spit out a detailed plan in minutes.

The report covers where to market, how to pitch, and actionable steps to grow your audience, all tailored to your niche. I built this because I saw how tough marketing can be for solopreneurs and small teams (myself included!).

Right now, it’s free to use until March 31, 2025—about 7 days left—so you can try it out.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback! If you’ve got a project you’re working on, give it a spin and let me know what you think.
They are aware of that, https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/2#note_240.... What would you suggest?
Abstract it more.

This is essentially a thin wrapper around an LLM. Hardcoded prompt templates. The value isnt in the template itself, but more-so the curation of the template. So curate better.

Instead of hardcoding the prompt template, allow people to create/share/vote on arbitrary templates. A prompt library of sorts.

I think you’re operating with a very limited understanding of what goes into law.

Law isn’t like programming. There’s no compiler. There’s no specific target machine code to which all laws must boil down to.

You can’t automate law, since the desired outcome for each case is not known from the start. That’s the whole “justice is blind” saying.

The issue is that the laws governing corporations were written by corporations and have lots and lots of loopholes.

To match your analogy:
You’re suggesting an entire codebase rewrite when, truthfully, we need to refactor our laws surrounding what corporations can and can’t do and what punishment should be for corporations and the people that run them.

A rewrite always sounds appealing when you first join a project, before understanding why architecture decisions were made in the first place.

What specifically do you think is inapt or archaic about our legal system other than the individuals that make it up?
