Or could they just reach out to contributors and ask them to help?

Or here’s another route: sell “licenses” regardless of the actual license. I think https://cyberduck.io/ has this: you can donate and get a key that removes the donation nag. If you do this, you can’t go after the pirates, but would you really want to spend your time on that? (Of course, I would still reach out to the contributors first, explain the situation and see if they are okay with all that.)

Good luck to the OP!

Really curious to know what the test shots from Boss Films looked like!

Richard Edlund’s team’s work on various films of the 80s was impeccable (including Ghostbusters, Die Hard, Big Trouble in Little China, and more). They were the inheritor of the crown of high quality 65mm VFX after Douglas Trumbull quit the business (the pinnacle of his work being films like Blade Runner and Brainstorm).

I have to wonder what was wrong that caused the last minute switch to ILM!

And in the second series there's a video of Garfield and Odie making a home video. They created YouTube channels for the in-video characters with actual character relevant content, including that home video, 5 years before the second series was posted. Absolutely amazing work, hats off!

Reminds me of an old math professor I had. Before word processors, he'd write up the exam on paper, and the department secretary would type it up.

Then when word processors came around, it was expected that faculty members will type it up themselves.

I don't know if there were fewer secretaries as a result, but professors' lives got much worse.

He misses the old days.

>but his point seemed to focus on FDs objecting to bike lanes

The Fire Marshalls are required by law (and oath) to enforce the laws.

They are literally and legally required to object and grant exemptions as appropriate.

And the source for the Peekskill story in the "cited sources" is themselves.

They're using a sourceless article they wrote themselves as a source.

I just finished watching the video and the factual errors are... voluminous.

> This is the place where people usually reach out for heavy artillery of [..] Nix, which solves the problem of “works on my machine” by turning your machine into mine!

This is ironic, because what they've done is just hand-roll their own mini Nix.

> Violation of our zero dependency principle: as Docusaurus is based on NodeJS, it added a lot of dependencies to our code base. We have a check that no large files are committed to git, and package-lock.json failed this check.

What is the purpose behind the second sentence? Or rather which?

- We want all source to be byte-sized and human-understandable

- We don't like how git/other tools work with large files?

If the latter, fine, but if it former, then I think you're violating the spirit, if not letter, by pinning a pre-built static binary of pandoc. The machine code is definitely not inspectable, and the build-time inputs closure (back to source files) is still massive, involving Lua and many bootstrapped GHCs for Haskell!

What makes Nix "heavy weight" is not some "take over your whole system" approach (on Linux, you can skip the installer and just run the Nix binary), but because tries to "cheat" with prebuilt binaries as little as possible.

> I'm not even sure why most people want to bring manufacturing back to the US.

I am not sure why they think it left. The US manufactures far more today than it ever did in the past. The people were largely relieved by robots, granted.

> becoming a mostly service and consumer economy would be the final winning position.

Service isn't always fun. A lot of people don't like selling Big Macs. They are under the impression that if they could have a manufacturing job, they would enjoy work more. That is what drives it.

What they don't realize is that they could already have a manufacturing job. Manufacturers struggle to hire. But the problem there is that, per BLS, 70% of manufacturing happens in rural areas – whereas most people never look for work outside of the city they live in. Thus they conclude that manufacturing doesn't exist. Out of sight, out of mind.

I used to do this with my wife, and it drove me crazy. Now we use a shared Google calendar, which works way better than prior solutions. Our unspoken rule: if there is an open time slot available, the first to enter it in the shared calendar wins. We're both responsible for entering all family-related appointments in the calendar as soon as they come up. There have been conflicts when either of us forgets to enter something into the calendar, but we just resolve the conflicts as usual. This was a game-changer from my point of view.

Interesting. It is impressive that they almost managed to do 100% made in the USA, judging by the "Table of Origin". However the table doesn't really cover all the details down to the components, so I'm wondering where he sourced every small details.

He did include one paragraph on the website:

"Individual components used in fabrication are sourced direct from chip makers and parts distributors."

> But Trump was promising vengeance on cultural issues and immigration. Not on prices. Again -- voters expected him to follow through on his promise to lower prices. Not to raise them massively.

This is easy to reason through if you just remember that Trump and his cronies are not smart or competent. They have basically no concept of how to follow through on a promise if there’s any complexity to it.

Take a look at the list of kept promises from the first term: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/list/?prom...

And the list of broken promises: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/list/?prom...

The kept promises are trivial, while the broken promises include everything that can’t be accomplished by executive diktat. (Such as lower prices, unless he directly puts a price limit on goods in an executive order.)

Basically the only value in reading into his non-trivial promises is in considering “how could he make things worse if he follows through on attempting this?”

This would just be show anyway. Even with a "real" primary, the DNC's "superdelegate" structure means that party insiders essentially get to choose the candidate, just like in the 19th century (the mythical "smoke filled room").

The primary process itself is just for show, but a competent party would understand that it needs to have at least the appearance of legitimacy.

The last Democratic presidential primary that seemed legitimate to voters who were paying attention was 2008: 2012 was 2nd term Obama, in 2016 insiders ratfucked Sanders to pick Clinton, 2020 they did something similar to pick Biden, and then of course the disaster of 2024.

It's been nearly 20 years since we've had a "real" Democratic primary that at least advertised itself as a democratic process. Seems logical that Democratic voters would be skeptical about the so-called leadership of the party.

I will use SCSS as long as vanilla CSS retains its idiotic comment syntax. I would replace html with pug for the same reason if the Svelte preprocessor didn’t break so much tooling and preserved source-maps.

But seriously.. multi-line comment syntax that blows up when it encounters a nested comment is infuriating and a slog in huge projects, particularly during multi-line editing.

The same reason why trailing commas should be mandatory by law and semis should be punishable by wedgie.

Its areally great effort, but i would stick with PostgreSQL with PL/SQL procedure and tons of extensions.

Lowering down the TRSACTION LEVEL, Async transctions on disk backed tables and UNLOGGED Tables can help you go a long way.

Also, in next major version (v18) of PG, they are trying to implment io_uring support which will further drastically improve the random read/write performance.

To evaluate this as your are describing, you must reveal your estimate of the workload of what Tiger Beetle has done to roll their own docs. If it took them 5 minutes, for instance, the calculus is far different than if it took 5 years. Plus you must compare that time estimate to their other priorities to estimate the opportunity cost, something that you simply can not do accurately from the outside looking in.

And we must estimate the potential future value of what Tiger Beetle has done here. I value "no dependencies" pretty deeply and I can see how Tiger Beetle values it supremely. I don't see how you can hand waive it away so easily.

To assert that you don't believe Tiger Beetle at their word here is deeply disrespectful imo.

I may be mis recalling, but I thought the main point of the I, Robot series was that regardless the law, incomplete information can still end up getting someone killed.

In all the cases of killing, the robots were innocent. It was either a human that tricked the robot or didn't tell the robot what they were doing.

For example, a lady killed her husband by asking a robot to detach his arm and give it to here. Once she got it, she beat the husband to death and the robot didn't have the capability to stop her (since it gave her it's arm). That caused the robot to effectively self-destruct.

Giskard, I believe, was the only one that killed people. He ultimately ended up self-destructing as a result (the fate of robots that violate the laws).

> compiler only supporting old C/C++ standards.

That's from back when the c++ standard was a rough suggestion. I had to use code warrior 10 for a project back in 2008ish (when standards compliance seemed to actually be picking up real steam across gcc/llvm/msvc) and it was painful how many things that were standard/supported across the other compilers that would break, we ended up basically falling back to closer to c with classes than anything that would resemble modern (at the time) c++.

Literally the funniest thing about it is that LLMs conjure this "solution" when asked to deal with trade deficits using tariffs. It perfectly possible that one of Trump's people just asked ChatGPT and they implemented the answer.

Also the love affair with tariffs comes from a guy that wrote a book with his ideas and in that book he made up economic expert to support his views. (Ron Cara)

They are quite easy to search for actually, because they are sparse and you tend to not get so many spurious results due hitting things that contain your query as a substring. Even then, the glyphs appear inline in the warning message, they are not the anchor, you could still just search for "warning:" like you or your editor have been doing for years. Every operating system comes with an emoji picker, it takes like 2 seconds to use. I'm not sympathetic, tbqh.

Also Italian, lots of really interesting cheeses out there.

Appenzeller medium, young Asiago, sake trappist cheese, blue brie, extra sharp English cheddar, and of course mozzarella and halloumi.

I think both the Grana and the Parmiggiano are great in some places but not everywhere, so I couldn't pick them as sole winners.

I can't say the reason, but i can note the pattern. If it's something in your path, like a program or a script which will show you where it is. If it's a shell function sourced you will see the whole thing.

If you write a function in your current session for example which will show you the content of that command. If you write that command in a file and put that file in your path which will show you where it is

`nvm` isn't a file, it is a bash function defined in some file (likely ~/.nvm/nvm.sh). So when you say `which nvm` it prints out the definition of the `nvm` function. This is setup when you added something like:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion

to your bashrc.

> In a second, more concerning scenario, the emphasis on speed and American AI dominance could overshadow the safeguards. Agencies might rush deployment, overuse the waiver provisions for high-impact systems, and prioritize efficiency metrics over impact assessments. The DOGE team's reported use of AI for monitoring staff communications suggests this path is already being pursued in some corners of government. Should this approach predominate, public trust will likely erode further, potentially triggering a backlash that hampers legitimate AI adoption across all levels of government.

Why not just let AI do the voting in elections and setting the public's trust & sentiment towards AI? That way we will not need to worry about AI adoption being hampered.

Would be awesome Koreo make Kustomize no need. I feel insane getting into project where Helm, Kustomize and Koreo used at same time(they always do this).

So if Koreo and Helm only, would be nice gradual step. One bad yaml with other bad yaml.

This is what I was trying to convey: this is already how we think about it.

In general relativity, mass is not more fundamental than the gravitational field and its curvature. While we generally speak of spacetime curving because of mass, this doesn't mean this is a one way relation. The stress energy tensor is equal to the Einstein tensor (roughly curvature), so the relationship is already two-way.

It's a cool thing to think about of course, just wanted to clarify.

Curious about this quote: "'My elder colleagues tell me you never stop learning, even after 50 years of doing it,' recounted Stocchi. 'The day you think you’ve learned everything is the day you’ll start making errors.'" - To me this implies that there is more variation among the cheese than I'd expect. In this role don't you see every likely cheese over 50 years? It seems like a static product, where production methods don't change, and that should give you very consistent results from tapping.

Maybe; at some level are dogs' brains also simple sensory-collecting statistical models? A human baby and a dog are born on the same day; that dog never leaves that baby's side, for 20 years. It sees everything it sees, it hears everything it hears, it is given the opportunity to interact with its environment in roughly the same way the human baby does, to the degree to which they are both physically capable. The intelligence differential after that time will still be extraordinary.

My point in bringing up that metaphor is to focus the analogy: When people say "we're just statistical models trained on sensory data", we tend to focus way too much on the "sensory data" part, which has led to for example AI manufacturers investing billions of dollars into slurping up as much human intellectual output as possible to train "smarter" models.

The focus on the sensory input inherently devalues our quality of being; that who we are is predominately explicable by the world around us.

However: We should be focusing on the "statistical model" part: that even if it is accurate to holistically describe the human brain as a statistical model trained on sensory data (which I have doubts about, but those are fine to leave to the side): its very clear that the fundamental statistical model itself is simply so far superior in human brains that comparing it to an LLM is like comparing us to a dog.

It should also be a focal point for AI manufacturers and researchers. If you are on the hunt for something along the spectrum of human level intelligence, and during this hunt you are providing it ten thousand lifetimes of sensory data, to produce something that, maybe, if you ask it right, it can behave similarity to a human who has trained in the domain in only years: You're barking up the wrong tree. What you're producing isn't even on the same spectrum; that doesn't mean it isn't useful, but its not human-like intelligence.

Honestly, some sites are so ridiculously malconfigured in their anti-bot zeal that it becomes a Heisenberg like dilemma.

E.g. I want to pull in the rss. It is there specifically for m2m. If I dare get the robots.txt, i'm flagged as a bot, and denied the whole site. including not just the rss but even the parts that are not denied per the robots.txt

>It would be pretty neat if there was an LLM that guides you towards the right answer without giving it to you. Asking questions and possibly giving small hints along the way.

I think you can prompt them to do that, but that doesn't solve the issue of people not being willing to learn vs just jump to the answer, unless they made a school approved one that forced it to do that.

I am sorry but that's nonsense.

I quoted the paper "Evolution through Large Models" written in collaboration between OpenAI and Anthropic researchers

"In other words, the model learns to predict plausible changes to code from examples of changes made to code by human programmers."

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.08896

> The idea that models can only write code if they've seen code that does the exact same thing in the past

How do you get "code that does the exact same thing" from "predicting plausible changes?"

"In a 2023 study, researchers in Brazil found that fruit flies that were sleep deprived showed overexpression mostly of genes that affected metabolism, glucose, triglyceride and levels of the hormone dopamine"

"After just one day of restricting sleep in mice, Rogulja could see fats in the animals’ intestines that weren’t entering circulation. After five days, their guts were filled with fat although their bodies were starved of nutrients."

This is interesting. People with Autism and ADHD often have gut issues and problems with dopamine etc. Maybe these deceases are caused by constant sleep deprivation.

I posted a reply to another subthread with some of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43647368

> * Does it work well?

Very well! There are some limitations (see link above), but what's implemented is reliable.

> * Do you recommend it?

Yes, provided your requirements fit headscale's capabilities. If you need things like device trust attestation (e.g. Kandji MDM or Crowdstrike Falcon integration), SCIM provisioning, or various other enterprise features you may find it inadequate. If you can afford to pay for Tailscale, you should just use Tailscale because it's really good.

> * Do your users care?

They like it way better than our previous OpenVPN setup, that's for sure. I don't think they care about Headscale vs commercial Tailscale - the backend implementation is largely invisible to them.

> * Is it difficult? Do you have to maintain it or is it basically set it and forget it?

Not hard at all to set up, and it requires little maintenance attention. I have barely had to touch the control plane (other than version upgrades) since setting it up a year ago.

> * What was memorable about setting it up?

We had to do some custom coding to have automatic user offboarding when employees leave the company, and to emulate app connectors / dynamic routing (this is now OSS! https://github.com/singlestore-labs/tailscale-manager).

And I've been contributing to the headscale codebase to smooth out some quirks that affected our SSO integration. The headscale authors have been pretty flexible in welcoming outside contributors.

> * Why did you go for Headscale vs Tailscale or Netbird or some other solution?

vs Tailscale: It was way easier to build this myself than to get funding to use the commercial solution. I'm not good navigating corporate politics, but I am pretty good at building infrastructure and writing code.

vs Netbird: Mostly because I already liked Tailscale from using it at home, I like its implementation, and I like the way Tailscale (the company) have behaved. The handful of folks I know who work there are people I deeply respect.

I see this idea a lot, but I don't really buy it. I've coded in 6502 assembly for years, and the zero page is not register-like at all.

Best thing you can say about zero page is that it only requires one read cycle to fetch a value from. (Or one write cycle to store a value to it.)

Why ZP isn't like registers: You can't do register operations with it. For example, you can do this with the accumulator:

LDA #03 ; load immediate value of 3. STA $c000 ; store it at $c000.

or

LDA $1004 ; load a value from $1004. ADC $4000 ; add the value stored at $4000. STA $4001 ; store to $4001.

You can't do this at all with a zero page address. You have to go through an actual register first.
