They, too, offer integrations for LLMs these days, presumably for better OCR and classification.

I've been using News Feed Eradicator[0], a Firefox/Chrome extension, for the same purpose and it's been working really well. For most sites you can configure what should vs. should not be "eradicated".

> The $1 is measured in international dollars. This means it buys the same amount of goods and services in any country as a US dollar does in the United States. It is often used alongside purchasing power parity (PPP) data. The “time” refers to a day of life for anyone, at any age and in any circumstance — not just the hours worked by someone with a job.

So IIUC this "average poverty" (measured in time per international dollar) includes people living off social welfare? Otherwise, if it only included the working population, wouldn't we have

  average poverty ≝ (average yearly income* of the working population / 1yr)⁻¹
and so it should be inversely proportional to the average yearly income* metric mentioned in the article?

*) Adjusted for purchasing power, i.e. measured in international dollars.


From a linked article:

>For these purposes, income includes earnings from work, government benefits and other sources of money, and it is averaged among all family members.

Yes, it is supposed to include income from all sources.

Huh, I must have missed that. Thanks!

I don't think that's quite right, it would be the average of the inverse hourly wage not the inverse of the average hourly wage.

    >>> import statistics
    >>> 1/statistics.mean([10,30,100])
    0.02142857142857143
    >>> statistics.mean([1/10, 1/30, 1/100])
    0.04777777777777778

No, it's

average poverty ≝ average(1 / annual income)

Inversely proportional to the harmonic mean of average yearly income.


Ah, you're right. I added the (·)⁻¹ at the very end, when I noticed the units on both sides didn't agree, and forgot about the average.

Looks like it is, though? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47558097


Oh yep, looks Turing complete just not performant enough for that use case. But that’s not an issue for APT-style attacks that take their sweet time. So am I off base here?

A wall hack is any technique allowing the player to see opponents through walls. Googling for screenshots or videos should give you a good idea of how it looks.

How is that setting supposed to carry over if I don't even have a Google account on my phone?

And even if I disregard that for a moment, what's up with the author being a mouthpiece for Google?

That is maybe just the best news we could have gotten here, and hopefully it’s enough to calm everyone down about the sideloading-sky falling.


I think such "ludicrous sets of patches" are very common in many jurisdictions. (At least in Germany they are.) I agree, though, git patches would be a lot nicer.

The German parliament even has an official git repository: https://github.com/bundestag/gesetze

Looks like it's been abandoned, though. :(


The GitHub org being called “bundestag” doesn’t mean that it’s anything official. It looks like it’s made by independent activists.

Oops, I should have checked this more carefully. Thanks!

> how far back (in time) do those 27k commits go

Looking at the commit dates (which seem to be derived from the original publication dates) the history seems quite sparse/incomplete(?) I mean, there have only been 26 commits since 2000.


It seems the commits aren't in proper date order. Here are some newer changes, placed before the latest commits: https://github.com/EnriqueLop/legalize-es/commits/master/?af...

It's related to commits actually having a parent-child structure (forming a graph) and timestamps (commit/author) being metadata. So commits 1->2->3->4 could be modified to have timestamps 1->3->2->4. I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled.

> It's related to commits actually having a parent-child structure (forming a graph) and timestamps (commit/author) being metadata.

Yeah, I think everyone is aware. It's just that the last couple dozen commits, to me, looked like commits had been created in chronological order, so that topological order == chronological order.

> I know GitHub prefers sorting with author over commit date, but don't know how topology is handled.

Commits are usually sorted topologically.


> Taiwan relies on LNG for 40% of its energy production and has like 10 days of fuel left--semis are implicated.

The "10 days left" thing seems to be a hoax(?)

I have 30 days of food in my house and I have maintained that since probably 2021. It doesn't mean I will run out in 30 days, since I can still buy food although at higher prices lately. I personally never let it dip below 20 probably.

Oh I'm sorry, that was actually my mistake, I should have been much more specific, and I will update the comment if I still can. My intention was to emphasize that Taiwan may have to start limiting electricity to its industrial sector based on its current runway. Per the article you listed:

> Yeh Tsung-kuang, a professor in the Department of Engineering and System Science at National Tsing Hua University, said Taiwan's maximum LNG inventory is only 11 days but that does not mean the island will run out of fuel or face outages within that time period

EDIT: updated comment to be more specific.


> said Taiwan's maximum LNG inventory is only 11 days but that does not mean the island will run out of fuel or face outages within that time period

I guess I read that as "we've got 11 days supply of LNG and we won't face any shortages during that 11 days" - how is that a better situation?


> Yeh Tsung-kuang, a professor in the Department of Engineering and System Science at National Tsing Hua University, said Taiwan's maximum LNG inventory is only 11 days but that does not mean the island will run out of fuel or face outages within that time period

So he's saying they've got an 11 day supply and that they won't face any shortages during that 11 days... but what about after 11 days? I guess I'm not sure how that's different, how it's a hoax?


11 days of supply in the system. If they can afford it they can add to that with new shipments. It is not like Taiwan is blockaded. Just that global supply from single region is limited.

This might be lot bigger issue if China managed blockaded Taiwan during an invasion. Or destroy port facilities sufficiently.


Not blockaded, sure, but how long would it take for these new shipments to arrive? If these are shipments they hope can come through the SoH even if they got through tomorrow it would take ~10 days to arrive in Taiwan. They can also get LNG from Australia, but a typhoon has shut down some of Australia's LNG terminals today.

You need metrics to compare it over time; I only have a weeks worth of food in the house but I shop weekly kind of thing.
