How are these models, still spouting out lots of seemingly okay but actually non-sensical and contradictory ouptuts going to deal with training the next version, once the training set will contain shitloads of non-sense generated by the previous version?

As soon as it gets "good enough", it's not going to be easy to tell it's actually bogus. What's to prevent people from poisoning the web with nonsense?

Or are these only ever going to be trained with known reliable sources?

>NFT provides publicly verifiable record of ownership and limited edition-ness (aka scarcity)

Could you explain how the NFT provides the latter? Because it sounds like that's what your contract process and legal assurances ensure - those aren't happening on the blockchain, are they?
My concern is that this will remain the case, even when Elisp goes multi threaded. Such that most concerns won't really change, at all.
> Apparently oop as envisioned by Alan Kay was supposed to work like cells in the body that pass messages between each other and take actions independently.

Maybe not extinction, but it will likely destroy industrial civilization. And that may not be reversible since we’ve extracted many of the natural resources that can be reached without industrial technology.
Oh that looks perfect. I'll have to try it out today and report back.
Currencies ARE assets. Even fiat currency requires it be viewed as an asset by society to then lend its usage as a currency.
How does Yode compare with tree-sitter?
What’s the advantage of this over creating splits and navigating to the relevant code? This is what I do all the time, having a hard time understanding how this would improve that.
Does SSE offer support for capturing connect/disconnect situations?
I like them, they surprisingly easy to use..

One example where i found it to be not the perfect solution was with a web turn-based game.

The SSE was perfect to update gamestate to all clients, but to have great latency from the players point of view whenever the player had to do something, it was via a normal ajax-http call.

Eventually I had to switch to uglier websockets and keep connection open.

Http-keep-alive was that reliable.
Ionic is a html/javascript/css mobile ui framework using web components, with bindings for Angular, React and Vue. You can build PWAs, mobile web apps, or with Capacitor actual mobile apps with it.

Capacitor is a mobile app toolkit for building apps with web technologies in a webview. Effectively the successor to Cordova/PhoneGap. It’s built and maintained by the same team/company as that behind the Ionic framework.
I was surprised to see that it's used more and more for work, instead of Slack. At first I thought this was a good thing (Discord feels much snappier, doesn't have the same search limitations, has voice channels) but it's been awkward. There is a way to change your name on specific servers, so you can be anonymous on gaming ones and recognizable on work ones, but people can still track you across (for example with the "servers you're both in" profile feature). Changing your avatar on specific servers is also a paid feature.

I kind of want to run two instances, but this is apparently a ban-able offence.
I cannot prove it, but it looks at least like that for me. I tried googling and read all the Amazon Associates pages again to find any hint. Maybe I just wasn't smart enough to find it.
Same for me, but it's still in the continuum of TV watching like the other person said. I don't have TV the device, or broadcast receiving capability, but I still watch TV shows not that much unlike the normal definition of TV use.
I think you should put it to the front page and not the purchase page, because on the purchase page you don't have any clue what it's for or what the use cases you have envisioned for the technology.

Once I did look at it I thought that might be useful.
Yes, generally dark colors absorb more light, and young leaves do not have any chlorophyll (so not green)
I find it disappointing. For whatever reason, Mozilla VPN is not available in my country. And they don't support anonymous cash payments, like Mullvad does. It's more expensive than Mullvad, except at the 12 month plan. So what's the point? It's strictly inferior to Mullvad.
You'd never have to change clothes again. Wear one of these, and you can have your work uniform, change to your football team, go on failed dates, and so on. Fast fashion is not great for the planet, and you don't have to use space in your house for a bunch of clothes that are mostly not being worn.
you need to use app to voice chat on discord, and need an account to use anything on discord
Apologies if my post came off as harshe. I see this critique a lot, but it doesn't make sense to me. Especially since compilation mode has existed forever.

I do grant that some things could use extra support for async, so it will be a welcome addition. But there is already a lot of capability today.
Fetch+merge is literally the definition of pull, so it cannot be more or less appropriate.
The problem with WebSockets is that hey are:

1) More complex and binary so you cannot debug them as easily, specially on live and specially if you use HTTPS.

2) The implementations don't parallelize the processing, with Comet-Stream + SSE you just need to find a application server that has concurrency and you are set to scale on the entire machines cores.

3) WebSockets still have more problems with Firewalls.

I grew up in Egypt, my dad is from a town on the Suez Canal called Ismailia, famous for its mangoes. We would wait the whole year for mango season (August/September). As kids, our clothes would all get mango stains. Our parents would make us take our shirts off before we eat them to avoid that.

I moved to the US, and I haven't had a good mango here. When friends visit Egypt, I tell them to get mangoes (in season, around September), especially a variety known as Eweis. They get obsessed. I've never figured out why the US just doesn't have good mangoes, I'm guessing they're hard to grow locally or ship.
And I can hate its existence.

Since you asked, I just published Head First Git. I did a "Show HN" that didn't get much traction, but rather than repeating what I said there, I'll just post the link—https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30072348

[end shameless plug]

And to the point many others made, there are a _lot_ of resources out there, but if you are looking to start back at the basics, I feel my book (which is designed for beginners) might be a good start.

Of course there is the canonical Pro Git (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2) book.

And once you understand the _Directed Acyclic Graph_ I feel https://github.com/git-school/visualizing-git is a great project to see what happens when you run certain operations in Git.

Perhaps you've concluded that I love Git, and I love teaching it—I am @looselytyped on Twitter (DMs are open) if you want to reach out and we can carry out a conversation elsewhere—always willing to talk Git.

Edit—I replied to the wrong comment. My apologies kqr. This was meant for VeninVidiaVicii.
Correct, the hosting is not the problem, the website is still up and running. I'm talking about the Amazon Associates account needed for affiliate links.
I'm not saying it's unnecessary but forcing me to run DRM, HDCP, kernel level malware, and abide by arbitrary EULAs/copyrights is beyond the scope of the machine. My machine understands memory manipulations, not someone's-protected-memory non-manipulations. It is incorrect to burden our computer science with such trivia.
Right now this demo only has 3 tiny servers (singapore, iowa and n virginia). If it becomes popular I'll add more tiny servers. Manual scaling behind a client-side GitHub static site hosted "load balancer" that picks the server with the closest roundtrip. Also note that these demo servers are shared, so you might be fighting another use for control of the x-frame in real time. ha. I just thought I'd try this approach.
Not really. I am all for opt-in advertising.

What we normally have is ads by default, that you can not even opt-out of.
My thoughts are it could create clothes or furniture that will last longer fashion-wise.

Any of your clothes or furniture look out of style? Just download a new style online!
You just needed to send a "noop" (no operation) message at regular intervals.
Capacitor for sure. Check the top comment, it depends on your needs.
Just because I think it an awesome feature: Did you know that OpenBSD has an auto install feature, where the entire installer is scripted, no manual steps required? There is also the option for easily customizing the installer to configure the system so it's ready when it initially boot. See: https://man.openbsd.org/autoinstall, https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#site and https://openbsd.amsterdam/setup.html for an example.

Even if you're just going through the manual install, there a no more steps than during something like a normal installation of Ubuntu. The disklabel tool isn't that user-friendly, but it's workable and help is available.

I think many believe the installation is complicated, simply because it's not graphical. Overall though, the installation process, the flexibility and tooling available for larger installation is impressive, and much better documented than anything I've seen on Linux.
What actual digital currency markets have existed in Argentina or any other weak state prior to Bitcoin?

All of these dark markets where cash only markets before, precisely because prior to Bitcoin you always needed a reliable state sponsored intermediary for online transactions.

This is not a tick.

Ah, miss creating CLs and using fig. I now use git but always liked fig/mercurial better and wish it had won the version control space. When people ask me what I liked about mercurial, I tell them that I could rebase, cherry pick, branch and do whatever else I could think of without needing to Google it or going to stackoverflow, it was just intuitive. I can’t seem to grok git that way. Any time I need to do anything more than branch, stage, commit, push, I have to google and read man pages.
You mean: is has history on the server?
Make sure that it doesn't lock you in, though.
That uses a huge amount of data. Likely enough to run afoul of residential ISP rules
that describes my experiences. If my interest is high enough then i'll go through the various settings to disable the paywall. Once, and only once so far, I bought a pdf about a particular type of rocket engine that i couldn't get out of my head.
So, what are the downsides to using websockets? They are my go-to solution when I am doing a game, chat, or something else that needs interactivity.
Riverpod is pretty good, and using the Bloc pattern without any Bloc libraries, just with StreamBuilder or your own abstraction is pretty good. The rest is just using the Flutter API as intended.

https://riverpod.dev/

I personally also like to practice data-oriented design, write most of the logic in C/Zig with a functional reactive Dart API, and then share the streams with Riverpod. I keep most of the state in C/Zig, but that should be a Dart-only library, I just use C/Zig because I need the core functionality of my app to be portable, for example to use it with Vue.js, or even FreeBSD, which Dart don't even support, but if that's not the case a Dart-only library for the core functionality is the way to go.
What's the alternative? Matrix or something?

It's weird that people have gotten so down on the concept of p2p and all in on federated services. To me it's so obvious that p2p systems have a huge advantage as far as adoption possibilities.

Maybe what we need is something like Web gateways for p2p services.

Have some ideas about a distributed live forum that uses webrtc and IPFS or something but since it's such an interesting idea to me and also not fully formed that usually means other people will hate it with passion and bury the comment.. making it a total waste of time to try to develop or explain the idea.
Adobe is well settled in creative agencies, enough bridges still available.
During the early days of the pandemic I started working on a videogame with lots of help from my son and we both loved working on it for the last two years. It's available on Steam for a fiver (with free demo) but it was never about the money or attention. We just loved the process of working on it a little bit every day, coming up with new game mechanics and levels. It got to the point where all I was doing was focusing on making levels that my son would find challenging (not easy as he knew the game mechanics better than me by that point!).

Quite a few spots mention "original" and "creative content" - because you have essentially just a database I'm betting they do not see it as original 'creative' content. It seems the goal of their program is to have bloggers write about the products being sold. Rather than simply decode the tire, they want you to upsell.

Maybe if you were to include individual/separate pages or 'blog' posts about each facet of the tires' specs, as painful as that is.
> “Attracting candidates with office perks like a beer keg in the kitchen or flexible work-from-home policies is a thing of the past,” she says. “People are tired of being overworked and underpaid, and want an employer who cares about their overall well-being and future success.”

Oddly, an insightful comment.

What does a company that actually cares about my well-being and future success look like?
Defund the police: budget allocation. Spend more money on social services so police aren’t the only tool in the govt toolkit. Not controversial.

The TCP stack can give you that info if you are lucky in your topography but generally you cannot rely on this working 100%.

The way I solve it is to send "noop" messages at regular intervals so that the socket write will return -1 and then I know something is off and reconnect.
Putting Ideas into Words
Yeah I know VK != Telegram, but in the article when he was running VK it sounded like he got scared and handed over a lot of personal user details to the government.

It also sounded like with Telegram there was some abuse of looking up or deleting other employees chats when threatened. The culture of the company doesn’t seem great.

All of this is kind of irrelevant though. The core issue is unencrypted chats.

Ever since I ate mangos in India during mango season (I was there in May/June), I have not been able to enjoy a mango in the US. Especially this variety:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gir_Kesar

I feel like I should be able to smell it from across the room, and there should be no fibers. I have had really good mangos in Kenya/Zimbabwe/Zambia too though.

The lack of cell phones seems obvious at first but then you realize that wizards don't need them. I liked how Harry Potter could have taken place at almost any point during the 20th century and beyond.
Arguably it's a little weird that it's under "softraid", when you don't know that it's a feature provided by the softraid layer. It's easy enough to figure out after a bit of searching, but it's not the first place I'd look either.
In the early days it was literally a “request to pull from me” - one would literally email Linus (for example) “hey, I made X changes, consider pulling them from Y (an attached file, or a server)”

Linus talks about this in a great panel he did at Google 14 years ago: https://youtu.be/4XpnKHJAok8
> Gotta start as root to start as any other user, as only root can setuid etc

TOPS-10, DEC's main operating system for PDP-10, had an interesting approach to this. The login system call, which was used to set the user ID for a user, was not privileged. However, it would return an error if it was executed when already logged in.

As was common with systems back then, there was a CLI that was built in to the OS and ran on all terminals without being logged in. It allowed you to run a restricted set of programs without logging in, including the login program.

One of those programs you could run without being logged in was queue, which was a program to view the print queue (and maybe other queues, like the queue of pending tape mounting requests?...I don't remember).

Unlike the login program, the queue program was also useful when logged in and so included many features and options beyond just what was needed by people who were not logged in. That included a flag to run other programs: queue/run:foo would run run foo.exe. (No, I don't remember why /run was ever actually useful).

Someone figured out that this allowed queue/run:ddt to run the DDT debugger, and that they could do this while not logged in thus ending up with a running DDT. They could then use the debugger to poke in a short assembly program to invoke the login system call and login as anyone they wanted, no password required.
Gitter is better for your use-case. The search just sucks, but there are archive pages. You can also use a Matrix client to access Gitters.
Would be interesting if somebody could resolve the issue and find out what unwritten rules Amazon has in addition.
My understanding is that Github called this "pull requests" because it does something similar to the `git-request-pull` function (See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull).

I quote

> Generate a request asking your upstream project to pull changes into their tree. The request, printed to the standard output, begins with the branch description, summarizes the changes and indicates from where they can be pulled.

GitLab, on the other hand, _does_ call it "merge requests" because you to your 12-year old's point, that is what they are.

Cryptocurrency as a means of payment is used in Africa. And the usage of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge has certainly been proven by the fact that Bitcoin returned superior returns over the inflation rise recently than any other asset an average African could have held.

Maybe we shouldn't ignore that mobile banking in Africa still doesn't allow easy access to US dollars? Maybe we shouldn't ignore that a transfer from the currency in Ethipoia to the currency in Nigeria requires routing through the European banking system?

Don't act as if the traditional financial system has greatly supported the emerging market world. Let's not lie to ourselves.
I rarely watch broadcast TV.

I mainly watch streaming content with no ads. Whenever I do watch something over regular channel ( ex. my wife wanting to watch something thats not streamed ) the ads disgust me and the interruptions are super annoying, it just reminds me why i dont watch broadcast tv anymore and re-inforces my behavior.
At this rate self driving is going to get banned. Way too many bad incidents lately
If you take a creative writing class you’ll find it is very common to give characters agency beyond what the author wants (e.g. I was going to have her do this, but she disagreed and did that…) and part of that is building a larger world, creating backstory for the characters. A great example is in the Quentin Tarantino film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” the main character stars in a Hollywood wester TV series. Even though the movie only shows a tiny bit of the series while they’re filming a couple scenes, apparently Tarantino wrote several full episodes of the hypothetical series. This kind of backstory writing seems to be pretty common. (My MFA is in creative writing, so I spent a lot of time with other writers.)

Perhaps it’s reasonable to reflect on how performant CGI was and still is. Right now that site is probably receiving more traffic than it ever has before and seems to be ably holding its own against the hug of death.

Of course CGI has scaling issues, that is not deniable, but it is still a quite strong technology. I would argue that the main reason to avoid CGI is not for performance reasons, few sites will encounter those usage levels, but rather because CGI coding patterns ultimately end up breaking MVC best practices.
Can someone explain to me the appeal of Blade Runner? I love most sci-fi, but I simply couldn’t make it through the first movie. I thought maybe the newer movie would be better. Nope. Couldn’t finish it. It’s probably the only sci-fi I haven’t liked. But, so many people seem to like it that I realize that I must be missing something.
Although you can disable automatically setting your status to whichever game you are playing though.
What personal information? All you need is a screen name. I don't think Discord even requires an email to join a server (if guests are enabled).
