Ask HN: How to search text across books in Mac
I have a lot of books in a different format like pdf, mobi, and epub. I want to search across all of them or at least across all the books in the same format. Does anyone pulled this off somehow?
Shoehorn helps with that.
Especially when the public often paid for said research at least in part.
"Primitive" societies were likely fairly anarchistic and monarchies probably arose from "war chiefs" with religious justifications (think divine right of kings but before Christianity).

Representative democracies are fairly recent. Even popular examples like Rome had very strict ideas about who was eligible to vote and even in the US women and Black people hadn't been allowed to vote for the longest time of its existence.

I'm not sure what examples of "falling to extremism" you're thinking of, but to pre-empt the two most obvious ones: Weimar Germany was an extremely young republic and its fall to extremism was initiated by conservatives trying to prevent the rise of communists to avoid losing their wealth after the republic had already weakened their political power; and the Soviet Union pretty much directly followed a violent revolution to overthrow a monarchy and jumped right into military dictatorship while having to fight an enemy hellbent on depopulating most of its territory. Most of the others I can think of are successor states to Soviet republics that either were autocratic already or rapidly turned into kleptocracies after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and only adopted the dressings of democracy prior to falling apart.

Also most stable monarchies aren't dictatorial. Chinese dynasties were famously bureaucratic and European monarchies had fairly intricate aristocracies that frequently got involved when it came to less clear-cut lines of succession. It's probably best to think of these as oligarchies, which as a category is probably also a good fit for many so-called democracies.
Don't forget to tell him to remove (most) implicit conversion and to use a greppable keyword cast(foo) like C++ did instead of "ungreppable" syntax (foo).

That said, I'm more annoyed at C's design commitee to not being able to add new features such as having length-aware arrays in C in the language.

It's even more gray then that.

Regardless of the licence, does the produced code even quality for copywrite protection, or does it fall under fair use?

what licence, if any, is there for unique code generated by co-pilot etc etc etc.

its a great big ball of who knows, however I expect that noting your only getting snippets you would be highly unlikly to get code that dosent fall under the fair use provisions, that said IANAL
When you say journals don't allow preprint, do you mean they don't let you publish if you've published on Arxiv? Can you not post the preprint and submit to a journal for peer review? Isn't that the best of both worlds?

If there are changes to your paper due to peer review, can you post the changes to Arxiv too later?
> same copyright problems

Is this true? From what I remember reading, the code was uniquely created (but I could be wrong). If that's the case, then does it tel you what license the generated code is under?

What’s with the editorialized title based on a single sentence in the article?
We tested it for knowledge extraction against GPT-3. Unfortunately, it's only at the level of GPT-3's smallest ada engine (for which we have found no use). Nowhere near GPT3's strongest model davinci (for which we have a lot of use cases; for their second strongest model curie as well).

Having said that, I am very happy that eleuther.ai works on open-sourcing GPT-x. Eventually, it will be successful.
It's important to note that Finra is not a government regulator — it's a self-regulating organization (SRO). JP Morgan, Goldman Sach etc are part of Finra. [1]

By handing out the biggest fine in Finra history, they are telling the government that government regulation isn't needed — they can regulate themselves.

I know probably 40 knots. I use the ol' double slipped reef knot for my shoes. Sometimes I tie a granny knot by accident and then I back out the second loop and finish a reef knot. Sometimes I capture the whole thing in another slipped loop if the laces are way too long. Sometimes I double or triple up the knot.

It really doesn't matter what knot I use to tie my shoes. The shoelaces make way more difference than the knot. I can triple-knot my laces, and if they've no tooth, they're gonna come undone. If they have tooth a-plenty and I use a single knot, they aren't going anywhere. It doesn't matter, because even if they come untied, I'll just tie them again. If I really want them to stay, I don't ship them, and weave the running ends back into the laces.
Wow, sounds both harsh and an ineffectual way to go at life.
I saw no such influx but then again I was only into chili growing, general gardening, photography and that kind of stuff.

I'd like to discuss mental health issues as well but personally I don't feel like posting to ADHD or anything when my family or my boss or my future boss can trivially easy (two clicks, no mental gymnastics) go from my post there to my professional profile.

Besides, the term "far-right" is so utterly abused now that it doesn't mean anything except "people I don't like".
Wow there's so much to unpack there. While professionally sounds like you're doing just fine, I hope you're doing okay personally.
As someone who's been in charge of recruitment, I've made an effort in hiring people who are less likely to get a chance at other places (minorities, older candidates)

One thing that stood out to me though is that a lot of the older candidates I interviewed that had been struggling had deep knowledge of a technology that's no longer used and had had very little interest during their career in learning new things outside their job. So once the thing they were expert in was no longer fashionable, they had a hard time catching back up.

I know it's unfashionable to say this and I know that a lot of people have full time jobs and don't want to have side project additionally to their full time job but if you want to keep a career as a software developer past 40 without going into management then you need to do side projects,you need to keep up to date with some of the latest fad (even if some of those fads are cyclical and recycle concepts from 20 years ago). Doing a job well and becoming an expert in an obsolete technology is no path to career growth.
Vintage Remote Control gets Bluetooth upgrade
Two personal anecdotes:

When I graduated in 1995, some of my friends were disappointed when they went into computer science for lack of a better option. By 1999, they were getting frantic calls from recruiters trying to outbid each other.

In the mid-80s, I went to a job fair, and two jaded programmers told me that there was no future in computer science, everything was already done and invented, and the job was mostly boring maintenance.

I sense a cycle...
is there any videos?
Yeti is one of the CT logs (and Yeti2022 the 2022 shard of it, containing certs that expire in 2022). CT logs are independent of each other, there is not really a "global log", although the monitoring/search sites aggregate the data from all logs. Each certificate is added to multiple logs, so the loss of one doesn't cause a problem for the certs in it. (Maybe it's also possible to still trust Yeti2022 for the parts of the log that are well-formed, which would decrease the number of impacted certs even more, not familiar enough with the implementations for that)

Just to clarify: as the article points out with the image from Wikipedia, the distinction of "some African lineage and essentially everybody else" (i.e. the small-ish group of Africans most populations outside Africa can be traced back to versus the genetic diversity within Africa) does not follow racial lines in any meaningful way.

Not only are modern humans all the same species, but race lacks any biological coherence unless you draw the lines exclusively between Black African populations and lump everybody else in with one of them -- which probably isn't what most "race realists" had in mind.

Most people I've seen talking about chess use "blunder" to describe a mistake with almost-immediate consequences like the loss of materiel.

A move that worsens the position in a way that's not so immediately obvious might be called a 'mistake' or 'inaccuracy'

By these standards, it's quite possible for a game between humans to be won or lost without a blunder on either side.

I think for almost all countries the taxes developers working for foreign companies pay outweight the higher costs of hiring some of them for building software for the government.

Let's say government hires 1% of the developers in the country, foreign companies pay them 3 times more and if not for outsourcing 50% of these people would have to emigrate.

If X is base salary ignoring outsourcing then the country would earn
0.5 * X * tax_rate - 0.01 * X without outsourcing and
3 * X * tax_rate - 0.01 * 3 * X with outsourcing

So the change is (3 - 0.5) * X * tax_rate - 0.01 * X * (3-1) =
2.5 * X * tax_rate - 0.02 * X = X * (2.5 * tax_rate - 0.02)

So in this simplistic example for the country to benefit from outsourcing it suffices that tax_rate > 0.008 which is pretty much always true.

Let's say government hires 10% of developers, nobody would migrate and the salary difference would be 500%. Even with such unrealistic assumptions the tax_rate would just need to be higher than 10% for the country to benefit from outsourcing.

tax_rate > (5-1) * 0.1 / (5-1) = 0.1

If you want to play with it it's:

tax_rate > ((salary_foreign - salary_domestic) * percent_hired_by_government) / (salary_foreign - (salary_domestic* forced_migration))
I maintain that that was the right thing to do, given the situation they were in (and not excusing them for not avoiding getting into that situation)

The way I see it, if I own a stock and want to sell it, my broker’s duty in that situation should be exclusively to me. Even if they don’t have the ability to let other customers enter a position, they shouldn’t block the exit gates for me in a naive attempt to maintain balance of buy and sell orders.

If it could be shown that they did this intentionally to manipulate the market, of course they should be fined for it. But if the truth is in line with the official statement at the time, I don’t see wrongdoing.

> or is github now only for primary copyright holders?

That is how I interpreted the 2017 ToS change: You can only upload code to GitHub if you’re the primary copyright holder, or the code was already on GitHub to begin with (which is only an issue if the primary repository of some project is another git host, e.g. gitlab).

My own father was a software engineer and he gave me and my siblings the same (bad) advice!
The Yeti2022 log is corrupted due to the random event. This has been correctly detected, and is by design and policy not fixable, since logs are not allowed to rewrite their history (ensuring that they don't is very much the point of CT). That the log broke is annoying but not critical, and the consequences are very much CT working as intended.

You can argue if the software running the log should have verified that it calculated the correct thing before publishing it, but that's not a protocol concern.

Why would it be violent? Change.org is already able to influence politicians, if it was updated to have the required features, more politicians would have to follow it, and new politicians who believe in direct democracy would be able to get elected.

So it would be a turbulent time, but no violent revolution.
Product taste is perceiving the many dimensions of the problem and how each of them sways the experience. The more layers you see the better, but very few come close to seeing the whole rainbow. In some cases you would notice a product that pays attention to a layer or two many others have ignored and you start feeling seen, as do the users. A dimension can be anything: color scheme, timing, search parameters, sorting filters, white space, context, hues, reverb, or silence in sound... If you dig into the layers of language and copywriting, it’s even more fun.

My father pushed me into EE. I burned 5 years in industry being paid crap and then discovered it was actually a fairly low paying profession in the UK. Ended up supporting a bunch of Sun machines for other EEs which was more fun. So i learned Perl one weekend, bailed out and lied my way into a sysadmin job for 2x the money. 20 odd years down the line I’m glad I made that choice.

Seems like malware with extra steps. Good idea if you want to save on rent (because you'll probably end up in prison), but not really anything else to recommend it, and I doubt the authorities would be convinced you're doing it for the greater good.

Besides which, there are plenty of "legitimate" ransomware businesses who would gladly have your legs broken or worse if you threatened their business model. Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's not serious organised crime.

No, I never needed the paid features in the first place.

Depends how you define 'good for the country'. Upwards pressure on skilled wages due to increased demand rather than brain drain sounds like a decent place to be.
Absolutely, but there are at least some circumstantial things you have heard/read to opine this way?
I know you made the point in jest but you’re right. To be adaptable you need to embrace change and opinion is the hardest to change. I’ve seen people die holding an opinion which has been thoroughly disproven. Embrace change!
I would say that one of the hallmarks of any intelligent "thing" is the ability to adapt. AI doesn't always understand nuance (not in an AGI sense) and therefore I'm always skeptical when someone markets an "intelligent" agent to me.

It was 2011, a childhood friend visited me after 10 years. We talk about the old days, we laugh, I even tease her husband sitting next to me, smiling politely. She excuses herself leaving the men alone to bond.

"So, what do you do?" He asks after a long 5 second.

"Oh, I'm a programmer." I say with pride. To be sure I add, "A computer programmer." I make it a habit to add this because regular people have a hard time understanding what we do as hackers. The man smirks.

"Like, writing code right?" He asks. This is the first time I get this reaction. Usually, people are almost envious when I tell them what I do. They praise me and I act humble by belittling my profession just a bit. But not this man. This one is trying to hold his ribs together.

"Yes, you know I accidentally fell into programming, I actually went to school to become an Electrical Engineer." I say, but as I'm watching his reaction, my voice starts to break. Not only is he not impressed, he feels sorry for me. Before I am done he bursts out laughing.

"No, my friend, if you were chasing the future, you made a mistake."

This was the first time I ever heard this. I'm a programmer, am I not writing the code that powers the future?

"Nursing, my friend. Nursing. That's the future." He went on to explain why nursing was not only one of the most important jobs, but it was also one of the fastest growing. And then he told me something that I still can't believe I heard correctly.

"Even jQuery is becoming irrelevant"

The past few years, I've been working on incredible software. Some of it almost feels like magic. Distributed systems, embedded software, neural networks. But every once in a while, I remember his words. At the very least, they help me stay humble.
But if it’s not government, why would anyone ever pay fines to them then?
