The New Yorker has a whole style guide. Most people aren't writing "née" or "reëlected" very often but the New Yorker keeps those formats and even has a custom typeface. Yes em-dashes are real but aside from a few

[not an expert so I could be totally wrong] I was also just talking about the physical space. Even if the machines on the entire line have to be replaced it still probably makes sense for a company to transition in situ - displacing the ol

One of the good things about these attacks is that it publicizes failings and gives data to good actors inside the government to drive reform. Surely other operators (Intel services of China, India, Pakistan, etc...; criminal syndicates) h

The lines that would have made consumer-level stuff are being reduced in favor of the higher profit margin/demand products. That means more supply of those other products (but still not enough) and lower supply of the consumer-level s

They didn't know their air speed (because of the pitot tubes being frozen). I think the report says that there was a path to safety if they had kept focused but it wasn't as easy as just flying the plane via 'the basics&#x27

There are two usecases: 1/ general purpose, 2/ customer controlled. Mistral is focused on the second one and every customer, whether it's Boeing or Airbus or Nokia or Glencore, will want lots of control over 'their'

It's sad that this was heavily downvoted on HN but times really have changed in this community. What you said is just straight up true and not derogatory or misleading.

The eyepieces (and editing views) on that equipment shows the other aspect ratios so they know what will be in and out for the other 99%. Anyway plenty of art is only consumable by the 1%.

Which is true. He didn't shoot in 35mm so if you want to get the full shot on the screen you must go to an IMAX theater.

Paid journalism is still often good (Bloomberg, FT). But yeah if you're just going to free sites it's the same as the free newspapers they used to give out for free in the subway - a few salacious articles, one or two ostensibly

It's sort of a cool idea. "Pre-RAM" without the tracking/AI integration so it can be used for clandestine activities in a dystopian future.

Politics and tech have gone hand in hand for generations. Just think about Stallman and free (as in beer) software or encryption export controls or much of the history of computing. There is no advanced tech that doesn't touch upon t

The standardization process should weed out 'footguns' that are prone to accidentally (or maliciously) lowering the security bar.

Yeah they're a media conglomerate and their customers are advertisers. They have unstoppable traction with Instagram and Whatsapp and a legacy model with Facebook. There really isn't much more to it except that they need to keep

If pricing is per-token then in theory the vendor can offer you modes that optimize token usage or quality whereas all-you-can eat encourages vendors to satisfy you just enough to keep paying but the trend is towards lower quality responses

This is really important. Unless it's straight up fraud or a safety issue, most market participants are totally allowed to ship garbage (who are we to judge?). At some point when monopoly power tests start turning true then the bar is

First off range should be based off of 70mph/110kph since that's what actually matters when people talk about range (how far away from home can I get on a full tank?). And 250 miles just isn't far enough to fully mitigate ran

Might also be smart to make the adversary think you are overselling when you actually have the capability.

It's also good for recruiting. They're building a new supercomputer in Edinburgh and I'd imagine it's a pull for certain researchers.

They recommend treatment because the mandate is to keep the animals alive, not whether or not it's good long term for humans. Many doctors and vets though are against the mass use of antibiotics in industrial farming (literally as a p

The penny doesn't matter but being off by a cent can mean there are serious problems in the workflow.

Yeah this could end up being a good thing. We need more diversity in the computing space and this might make some space for that.

I may be crazy but I feel like we shouldn't be giving medicine to animals with communicable diseases (unless the medicine reduces the chances of animal->human transmission). We're just reducing the effectiveness of these medic

Just "I built a version control system called Jam". The free-time thing is good for a history page but the homepage needs to tell the important part (you've got history and expertise in this subject) and then move onto what
