A portion of that argument is probably rooted in a very good intention: the Gini coefficient is far too high right now. One good way go reduce the Gini coefficient is to reduce the praise for roles like CEO, manager, physician, etc and r

"640KB is more than anyone will ever need" It's a little absurd to think people don't need more than 2TB - especially on HN. Gamers will likely have 2TB in games alone, videographers often have many TBs of videos and pho

It's ok that Go didn't work out for scientific crowds, since Julia works better for the scientific community as a replacement for hacky Matlab/c++/Fortran conbled-together scripts.

Are there any developments towards helping these efforts out by decentralizing / backing up parts of the archive and way back machine data? I know torrents are hugely important in helping to decentralize and maintain many important fil

Typically these types of single word embedding visualizations work much better with non contextualized models such as the more traditional gensim or w2v approaches, as contextual encoder-based embedding models like BERT don't 'bak

It would be silly to install Colima for this though. If the argument is that Colima --calls--> Lima --calls--> {a ton of different things including kubernetes and docker and ...} --calls--> a QEMU command somewhere deep in the code

I'll check this out. There are many different systems out there like UTM and such, but I want the most basic / minimal amount of dependencies, which will work basically anywhere - which is just QEMU. Not UTM, or maybe parallels,

Man is this the case. I have been trying to figure out how to have a single command to make a Qemu VM on an M2 Apple silicon chip for like a year without much luck. All I want is to run something like Alpine Linux + Sway WM on Qemu while

Listing what is in a product isn't necessarily as easy as one might think. Certainly if an elemental analysis is required to ensure that the heavy metal content is lower than 1 ppb, it means something like a comprehensive SEM-EDX is re

This tends to be more of the norm for the ones at 'good' institutions, which is aligned with the common knowledge / heavily replicated studies that 'top performers (best students, etc) are the most likely to cheat. There

Quarto is fantastic for making presentations as well! If you're a developer and want to have your presentations amenable to being tracked in git, with all of the figures made from code and so on, Quarto is the absolute best you can do.

Maybe this is the genius in it. In order to get everyone to move to better formats, you just break everything in the one everyone uses, so they have to move. Like Twitter becoming X to push everyone to mastodon. Mastodon is better in every

They suck the *insurers* dry? Insurance is one of the major problems in the US, and they're a parasite on all of the US society, so this line of thinking is completely backwards. However, the idea that physicians should make less is re

Yeah, totally. PDFs are wonderful for archiving.* They can hold so many different types of data so that they're extremely difficult to parse. Because of this, you can put several malicious programs into them for RCE. That way, if someo

Yes, absolutely. Asahilinux >> MacOS It's wonderful to use the M2 with incredible battery life and performance without having to have a subpar OS.

I tried amethyst but it was essentially useless to emulate an awesomewm or sway like experience. Switching to asahilinux was a *far* better solution. Not really sure what the use of macOS for me is when asahi exists now.

This is a great project. Also, it reinforces that fact that everyone should pronounce SQL as 'squeal'. 'S.Q.L.' is far too many syllables, and 'sequel' isn't much better. 'Squeal' is just one sy

Related to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_paradox Just as a quick example of why it's a bit absurd - I name that number you just defined $zeta$. Now I make $zeta'$ = zeta^zeta. Or whatever manipulati

I don't know much about hardware, but is it not possible that there is a small part of a chip somewhere deep in the highly complex systems we have that simply intercepts prior to encryption and, if some condition is met (a remote con

A key point here is that the centralization in this case is from a for-profit company. If the records were centralized by the government, the issues that we see now would likely not be as prevalent. There would be other talking points and i

I don't think that's necessarily what they're saying. It certainly isn't a necessary condition. Post quantum Homomorphic encryption is one key element to make this type of system work.

Is there not a win-win situation through post-quantum homomorphic encryption? I'm not an expert in the area, but I imagine it's possible to set up a centralized system that contains pretty much all patient data for a nation, in

This looks absolutely fantastic. Not only can you digitize your books, but it also shreds them for you for free! Pretty sweet 2 for 1 deal.

UnilmCtrl seems to imply some dependence on Sochers CTRL models, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just another name collision. Would be interesting if it were, as that would likely mean they have been working on releasing this

The battery life (i.e. the backlight being either ON or OFF, without anything in between) is one of the biggest points that hinder moving to asahi for me. Every time I open it up to try it out again, it's so bright that I try to reduce

I would imagine if you're worried you could just split the files with this, and of you think the encryption is 'weak' you could encrypt again with another tool. Probably not a bad idea.
