Interesting, at the airport I always see general "no (devices with) batteries in checked luggage" signs.

One time I had an old phone with battery removed in checked luggage and when I arrived at my destination, I saw they fiddled with the tsa lock and the phone was taken out of the envelope I had it in and just lying on top of my clothes. I mean maybe they saw it in an xray and wanted to steal it and then saw it was some old junk phone, no idea how good the xrays come out to tell beforehand whether you're dealing with an iPhone or 7 year old android midrange...
Of course people are allowed to say MAGA-phobic things online or downtown, but that would surely make some of their coworkers uncomfortable and that's pretty disqualifying from most employment. You're allowed to say things, but colleagues are allowed to respond in kind within the law.
Village Roadshow put into development 99 feature films, 166 scripted television series and 67 unscripted series. Of those, six movies and seven television series went into production.

I don't know if it is standard practice, but these numbers looks wild to me.
I think the main difference is that it’s a fully set up installable ISO of Fedora Atomic XFCE with the theme and other tweaks preloaded which is a convenient thing to have, I guess. Also they do credit Chicago95 pretty much at the top of the README.

That's a fantasy, unless you think Germany is occupied by the USA. But that's not the case. Occupation ended in 1954, since then the USA military is stationed in Germany (and Italy) due to contracts. This so called deployment contracts have been confirmed in 1990, when Germany became a sovereign nation again. I know, the current USA is not big on "rule of law" anymore, but even a bad deal maker should understand that there is not much to win in a war over bases they get for free now. (I'm not saying that maintaining those bases is cheap, but that's more on how the USA runs military bases than anything else.)

I find it refreshing, however, that the "we are the evil empire now" idea is getting out of the closet. Call a spade a spade.
I think the commenter was asking for a clarification on the hyperbole used. Unsure on the intend being candidly asked or there was an agenda (as it is often the case with political discussions).

Hopefully the El Salvador deal is a far cry from the internment camps from the 19th & 20th century.
Not following. These visas are at the pleasure of the government. The argument you're making is that once these visas are granted we are conferring the same rights as those of citizens, which is not true. If someone gets a student visa and comes here, to go to Columbia or NYU or Stanford or wherever, and all they do is agitate protests and cause trouble it seems reasonable that this visa should be revoked, yes? They are not studying, they are doing foreign activism. That's all well and good, but student visas are supposed to be for people who want to be ... students.
They have kinda positioned themselves that way and had (have?) syntactic compatibility with a subset of OCaml. And OCaml is probably the least obscure of the ML language family, so it's not exactly surprising.
The internal conflict is that the European planes that exist are nowhere as capable as the F-35.

While the European defense contractors may promise a comparable plane, they have a poor track record of delivering such a thing anywhere close to the near future.
“According to the Library of Congress, wearing gloves while handling antiquarian books may do more harm than good. Portland State University Library Special Collections follows their advice to handle most rare and valuable books with clean, dry hands.”

https://library.pdx.edu/news/the-proper-handling-of-rare-boo...

"Hands in gloves lack the tactility and manual dexterity of bare hands. Handling a book with gloved hands could lead to accidentally torn pages when the gloves catch on fragile edges, or a dropped book if the gloves prove to be loose or slippery.
Cotton gloves in particular have a tendency to lift fragments from pages, including pigments. Their fibers can catch in cracks that are invisible to the naked eye, further damaging friable pigments and inks.
This also means that cotton gloves retain a lot of dirt, making them not so clean after all! In this same vein, gloves cause the hands to sweat, and this moisture can penetrate the gloves to wind up on the books. Ew!"

> This is just Oligarchy hidden in

Is it really hidden?
From what I understand the gloves are only used on case-by-case basis. For some items they are more damaging than the oils from our (washed and dried) hands.
> If by "with impunity", you mean that he hasn't been removed from office yet, then yes, he's done that.

That ‘yet’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting, really. For practical purposes he can’t be removed from office. Like, at this point, it’s hard to come to any conclusion but that the system has failed.
Somewhat ironically given the topic, you are misreading the scientific article:

> No significant differences in pupil outcomes were observed between permissive and restrictive schools for all other behavioural outcomes (Fig. 2, Table 3) or for attainment in English (adjusted odds ratio 1.45, 95% CI 0.85–2.47, p = 0.18, reference = permissive) and Maths (adjusted odds ratio 1.01, 95% CI 0.45–2.27, p = 0.98, reference = permissive).

Nothing I've said could be interpreted to support the exposure of kids to addictive devices, simply that the quick fix proposed does not seem to have any effect.
Apparently archivists had a realization that clean and dry hands are the most precise for handling delicate objects and that actually mistakes are made with any sort of glove. It's only dealers using white gloves at this point to give a sense of mystique to what they're selling and to give the buyer the sense that only the owner can really touch the object.
I didn't get to take English at college, but I've spent a lot of my career writing and training. I've written a couple text books, and more documentation than I care to remember.

Writing well is definitely a skill worth learning. Communication is the single most important thing to career advancement.
Regardless, are there any good examples of projects generated by LLMs? There was a game like Angry Birds. But that was long time ago. I did some simple 'games'. If it's easy there should be a lot of open source projects, right?
Working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics/circuits: https://circuitscript.net/

The motivation for creating Circuitscript is to describe schematics in terms of code rather than graphical UIs. I have used different CAD packages extensively (Allegro, Altium, KiCAD) in the past and wanted to spend more time thinking about the schematic design itself rather than fiddling around with GUIs.

The main language goals are to be easy to write and reason, generated graphical schematics should be displayed according to how the designer wishes so and to encourage code reuse.

Currently trying to improve the docs and also release an online IDE. Please check it out and I look forward to feedback!
Even if he would have trusted the alternative controls the jet has, he was in clouds over a densely populated area going 350mph just 750 feet above the ground, far below the 6000 feet the article quotes from the manual.

"In fact, the F-35B’s flight manual said, “the aircraft is considered to be in out of controlled flight (OCF) when it fails to respond properly to pilot inputs,” adding, “if out of control below 6,000 feet AGL (above ground level): EJECT.”"
I think AI will have a dual effect. It will make some folks smarter and others dumber.

For example, you could have ChatGPT write your code for you, then explain it to you step by step.

It can be an interactive conversation.

Or you could copy/paste it.

In one case it acts as a tutor.

In another case it just does your work for you.

It turns out, if you go all in on "torch the franchise and run" films (Matrix 4, Joker 2), you might not make back your money and can end up in a shitheap of financial trouble if they were costly to produce, distribute, and market.

This was definitely a thing in the optical disc era of games where seek times were horrendous. In record mode, this is done by just overloading the file read functions, recording a list of file, seek position, and read size instructions, and then using that to build a .dat file. In play mode, the function is overloaded to ignore file opens and seeks, and to just read from the contiguous file. This requires the load to be perfectly deterministic, and preferably without redundancy.
A government's policies are dominated by the need to think about getting re-elected (democracies) or the need to get people to fight and commit violence on others (everything else).

Neither of which seem a particularly strong incentive to think long term.
To be blunt, the current economic value of the humanities is pretty low, just like STEM as developed by humans will be in the future. I think universities may play a role in the future, but more as something people do for fun as a hobby, and not mainly for its superior teaching capability, but for the social experience.
I debated building something like this for a couple years with my "Ultimate Windows 98 PC" [1]

I found that I could take the machine to vintage computer events and it would (generally!) behave the entire event. I'd then take it home and put it back on the shelf for a few months. After I'd bring it back down to use it again, it'd throw a fit and usually require a reinstall! It's not disk rot since I use SSD's throughout

While this hasn't happened (this time) it's a constant looming concern, particularly when pressed for time to get something up and running for an event.

I suspect there is something off with the browser fingerprinting logic which assigns high relevance to 'unique' characteristics like screen size while the reason for their 'uniqueness' is that the data is randomised on every request. Instead of assigning 20 bits to that single device with that odd screen size of 666x2045 (a different number on every visit) add a few bits to the variable 'randomises_screen_size' and ignore the screen size.
Sure 'deportation' is more fitting. As it was already in 1940s.
The last paragraph confused me. It refers back to the last time he did this and stated it wasn't proved to be an illegal lottery.

Didn't he pivot heavily from calling it a lottery to claiming he was giving pre-selected individuals money? Similarly to how he claims to be in charge of DOGE all the time except when that would place legal limits on him when suddenly he's just an adviser? Seems blatantly illegal but apparently no one cares anymore.
The F-35 is cheap for what it is capable of. F-22 and F-47 are immaterial. And the export F-35 is nerfed to some extent.

The unfortunate reality, which the US is exploiting, is that Europe would struggle to produce an equivalent of the nerfed F-35, never mind one that hadn’t been nerfed. As a consequence, the US can sell nerfed F-35s all day. There aren’t many alternatives currently. 4.5 gen aircraft aren’t competitive in a serious conflict and everyone knows it. Even the US has to contend with that reality.
Show HN: Auto-Browse – AI That Writes Automation Tests in Just One Line of Code
Hey HN,

I’ve built Auto-Browse, an AI-powered agent that eliminates the need to write step definitions manually. Instead of mapping test steps to code, Auto-Browse directly executes BDD tests written in natural language with just one simple handler:

When(/^(.*)$/, async ({ page }, action: string) => {
await auto(action, { page });
});
That’s it. No more writing boilerplate step definitions. No need for automation engineers to manually script test logic. Just describe your test steps in plain English, and the AI handles execution.

Why this is a game-changer:

No step definitions needed – write tests directly in natural language.

Works with BDD frameworks like Cucumber and Playwright.

Reduces test automation setup time drastically.

Example test case:

Given user is on the login page
When user enters "admin" in the username field
And user enters "password" in the password field
Then user should see the dashboard

I wasn't unemployable as a graduate, I found a job after all. But I was near enough useless and started from the ground up.

I've always felt my real education in software engineering started at work.

I’m not sure that’s true. I wish there was a foldable version of the iPhone.

I just think better privacy and security controls and stricter app guidelines are a reason people choose the iPhone over Android, so this really isn’t a surprise to people that have been paying attention. It’s the tradeoff we make for the walled garden approach, but I think it makes sense for a smart phone and less so for a general purpose computer.

"Make good new things."

But what are the good new things? The new part is pretty clear, as in something that wasn't done before. But what does the adjective "good" mean when applied to "new things"?

The author says you should make sure "new things you make don't net harm people or the world."

I'd argue that the world has no meaning without people, so not "net harming people" is what he can mean. But how can one know if things will produce net harm or not? I think we can even quantify after the fact if discovering gunpowder or dynamite is producing net harm or not. We can't decide if discovery of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion is producing a net harm or not.

Of course, for some "things" it's easy to say if they produce a net harm or not, i.e. producing a biological weapon or a vaccine.

And what if the result of our struggle, be it a scientific endeavor or not, while "new" and certainty not harmful doesn't produce any impact whatsoever? Maybe we come up with something that will be usable in a few years, a few decades, e few hundreds of years years or never.

So, should be there an impact? Shouldn't we strive to produce something that is not only not harmful but useful?

I think that we should give some more thought about the "good" part.

That's no doubt why this is a big issue for ROOL, as the pi is one of the main things they run on. Very few people would buy something just to run RiscOS so they need a relatively common platform.

Absolutely, and I'd like to clarify, I'm not expecting a single physics book to cover all there is to know about electricity and magnetism.
