Chill out. I never said I was an AI enthusiast. Maybe don’t assume things because someone made a small critique about your comment? I was simply responding to your question of why people choose 2 or 3 when 1 is an option. Because it’s not always an option. You even admit that at the top of your comment. Which leads me to ask: what are you trying to prove here?
It’s something else to feel smug about. “Ah, I know more knots than the average person. I truely am a hacker and more enlightened”
JS isn't supposed to have only one relevant implementation, though, and still has two active implementations (SpiderMonkey). (And up until recently usually had at least three active. RIP Chakra.) That's absolutely a bug in the ecosystem that the Chromium hegemony has bullied its way into near monopsony.

It's good of Ecma International to keep standing up to that. It's better for the web.
Is your model trained per language?

Without something that semantically understands the code under review ( which all but requires general AI or at the least a strong static analyslzer) doing anything more than adding noise to the process or worse leading to certain groups of developers effectively being given a free pass.
cool knot, thanks for sharing!

My most useful knot is the trucker's hitch. It's so handy for tying down loads, I don't know how I ever lived without it: https://www.animatedknots.com/truckers-hitch-knot
There is no requirement to "pickup" any children. Easiest way to accomplish task 2 is to wait outside a pizza hut or kfc and ask families coming in if it's ok if you pay for their meal and take some photos to help with your situation. You can explain your situation to people if there are any questions and pretty much everyone will be happy to accept a free meal for your good deed. Free money with no strings is accepted by 99.9% of people in every country.
I don't know about that. FSF seems to be entirely calcified and I haven't been a fan of much of their newer work. Trying to move that organization is a fool's errand. You're doing the right thing by starting anew and defining your own direction to grow in.
I think a lot of people got covid deals, and at over 12 month leases. For example, getting a 12 month lease plus some number of free months. Some of these people are still in their apartments. Meanwhile, a lot of people are trying to move to the city and there's just less space overall because of those deals.

My guess is that as those leases come to an end and some of those people move, the rent situation may get less crazy. But who knows.

There are 3 categories of predictors that the model takes into account, here are some examples:
(1) The code complexity, and its perceptual hash.
(2) The author and their track record in the repository.
(3) The author's past involvement in the specific files being modified.

With that said, an adversarial from somebody within the team/organisation would be very difficult to detect.
Modular Windows.h Header File
Reading the article, this seems to be the core issue:

> “When your browser checks out an item on a retail site, it sends ‘requests’ to the site’s server. These requests are basically commands that tell the server what to do. Add this item to the cart, submit my order, and so on,” they wrote. “We send those commands associated with checking out to the servers of sites we automate without requiring a browser. Basically, we can mimic what a human does, stripping out the unnecessary lags and delays of a browser.”

> "The service is optimized for Target, Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart."

This is hardly just game consoles, the whole baby formula problem is similarly gamed:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurendebter/2022/05/13/baby-fo...

Basically, if you see a shortage anywhere in the consumer/retail goods market, you can use a pool of capital to buy up all the remaining product as quickly as possible - assuming you have access to a pool of capital. This is the same kind of thing that happens in wartime scarcity, the only difference between this and say WWII is the bot technology being used. Now you're the sole supplier and can jack up prices and earn huge percentages. The resellers are just little black market manipulators, in other words, and the bot writers are their facilitators.

However, the main sources of product are the big corporate retailers, Amazon etc. They can't jack up the prices themselves (well, they can to some extent as current 'inflation' price hikes are resulting in record profits), but do they really care if automated bots are placing orders? Are they going to write bot-detecting software that might reduce the amount of orders being placed online? Why would they, that would reduce revenue.

It's not too surprising that this situation has come about, it's basically monopolistic manipulation of markets throughout the whole supply chain. A deregulated neoliberal paradise has many similarities to a war zone economy.
Hey there,

I am working on analytics tracking tool which focus is on users privacy. It's current'y in early stage and I am looking for beta users who want's actively to user this kind of tool.

Keep in mind that product is in early stage and it has only basic features. Reason I want to get beta users this early is that I want to keep developing tool around users needs and to avoid developing features which will be useless for people.

Let's get in touch.
Prusik knot is great. Used it for attaching a tarp over the cockpit of a sailboat for some shade by attaching to the shrouds and stays. Holds extremely well in high winds too. Some use it as described by above post to climb the mast.
Yes, this is famously true, with SF's cost of living (especially but not only housing) being some of the very highest in the nation. Getting out of California helps even more.
If you go to China, get a burner, or buy a Chinese cell phone, the same you're buying a plane ticket, or paying for a hotel. If it's for work, ask your company to pay for it.
> let them know, "We're going to zone more areas for residential development,

Why? This may seem deliberately naïve but in the context of the current discussion, why should more areas be zoned for residential if people are leaving the Bay Area? If there are residents who hate the Bay Area, can't afford it, and are no longer stuck there now that they can WFH then it sounds like they are cheerfully leaving. The wealthy citizens keep their houses and neighborhoods and perhaps the rest of us get a break from the ceaseless complaining.

It's an easier solution than massive rezoning proposals.
As a kid I pronounced the title of the book ee-doh-ru
Eventually Wal-Mart starts sending out armed drones to protect the delivery drones. You'll need a constant supply of your own attack drones to fight against Wal-Mart's security drone. (Just kidding... I hope!)
No, it is primarily about damaging reputation.

Threatening to call a SWAT team to someone's house if they don't pay you is extortion, not blackmail, even though you're providing 'information' to the police, it is to cause a physical threat, not to damage reputation.

The result here is destruction of income, not damage to reputation. It's extortion.
I did something similar in Django (ish) where I defined CSS, JS and Django templates in one file using special blocks then pre-processed them into vanilla templates, own JS and CSS. It worked well but was a sketch of what Tetra is doing. I certainly think there's a need for full stack the Django way (tm)

I'd argue that one broad crawl every 2-3 months in addition to their updated-daily news crawl[0] should be good enough to make a rudimentary search engine.

You just did it, and it was perfectly well-received by the community.

You approached a topic you are interested in, without causing any problem or offending anyone, and the question was not misunderstood.

Using this evidence, chances are you are already _sufficiently good_ at asking questions properly.
That's not quite right.

Using a Hohmann transfer orbit [1], you get from Earth to Mars in about 9 months.

Using an Aldrin Mars cycler [2], you can get in as little as 75 days. Of course, the Aldrin Mars cycler requires more delta-v, but that's the point, if you have more delta-v you get there sooner.

Interesting points, thanks for sharing (and so meticulously might I add).

$2m is an interesting choice for a long-term investment strategy barrier to entry.

Mine was far lower ($10k), and I've had some interesting results in the last 16 years.

I know little about day-trading, but it sounds like Cowboys in the Wild West. Exciting, but not for me.

But long-term plays fascinate me. 10x on capital etc.
Whenever you have to modify code elsewhere because of a side effect in the current function/file - it should be cross-referenced commented (in both places) because of things like this.

Just because Chesterton’s Fence is a thing doesn’t mean you have to build new ones without signs on them.
Ask HN: Why doesn't iOS come with game sound effects and usage guidelines?
Wouldn't indie developers rather focus on gameplay and leave the sound effects to the experts at Apple?
What's life like in Mexico?

Is it welcoming to people moving there from overseas to try make a living?
I'm a bit skeptical here. We should ask the question: why are we reviewing code in the first place? This has some hot debates on HN every now and then, and it's because reviews are not just automated checks but part of the engineering culture, which is a defining part of any company or eng department.

PR reviews are a way of learning from each other, keeping up with how the codebase evolves, sharing progress and ideas, giving feedback and asking questions. For example at $job we 90% approve PRs with various levels of pleas, suggestions, nitpicks and questions. We approve because of trust (each PR contains a demo video of a working feature or fix) and not to block each other, but there might be important feedback or suggestions given among the comments. A "rubber stamp bot" would be hard to train in such a review system and simply misses the point of what reviews are about.

What happens if there is a mistake (hidden y2k bomb, deployment issue, incident, regression, security bug, bad database migration, wrong config) in a PR that passes a human review? At a toxic company you get finger pointing, but with a healthy team, people can learn a lot when something bad passes a review. But you can't discuss anything with an indeterministic review bot. There's no responsibility there.

Another question is the review culture. If this app is trained on some repo (whether PRs were approved or not), past reviews reflect the review culture of the company. What happens when a blackbox AI takes that over? Is it going to train itself on its own reviews? People and review culture can be changed, but a black box AI is hard to change in a predictable way.

I'd rather set up code conventions, automated linters (i.e. deterministic checks) etc. than have a review bot allow code into production. Or just let go of PR reviews altogether, there were some articles shared on HN about that recently. :)
Because the world is a ponzii scheme, where we don't pay people for their time but for the going market rate.

If you keep a stable population and pay people based upon life expectations * skill, no one would need a retirement account.

But those with pull want to sit on their hands and do nothing, and throw around large sums of money, hence the ponzi scheme.
I don't think they are a majority and I think the main problem is lack of housing being built. But I do think that what housing is out there on the market faces stiff competition from companies not people. I'd assume there are a few people buying houses with cash but my guess is a lot of those stories you hear about people bidding 100k over ask and losing to a cash offer are mostly not people.

Theres a good number of companies that are open about increasing their housing portfolios. Even construction companies that built thousands of starter homes per year converting to rentals only.

These are long term changes, and not a quick cash grab at the bottom of the market.
I'll throw in my $0.02

I enjoy coding, I'm not some whiz but I can throw together a CRUD app in a weekend and hook libraries together so it's enough. I feel as if any job I take will be intellectually stimulating but spiritually unfulfilling. I would much rather be moving things in the real world with my body, or working outside, or still doing coding as long as it's something that has an immediate visible impact on my community. But jobs like that don't pay the bills.

So instead I take the high-paying tech job. I have no real desire to advance except to increase my income so I can save more and partially retire early and take a much lower-paying job doing something that makes me proud. When that's my motivation it's difficult to care about anything other than doing the bare minimum to get the next paycheck. This sentiment is reflected by a lot of the engineers I know my age who escape it through partying, sitting around all day doing nothing and still getting paid, having multiple remote jobs where they barely do any work, or trying to escape the rat race via entrepreneurship. None of them are lazy, the incentives just aren't aligned for employee satisfaction.

There's no amount you can be paid to give a shit.

a) not present in your comment history - clearly that's not your focus area - and b) not even spelled correctly and c) I do not believe you

Uh uh. Heart, liver and associated oligosaccharides. Gotcha. (this is equally irrelevant gibberish when talking about immune system responses)

> I do not say that this only apply for vaccines

Yeah, you do say that, you say "I am wondering how much immune "budget" do humans have for vaccines?"
This has always seemed so strange to me, where are all of these applications that allocate a bunch of memory and then never use it? Isn't this just a chicken-and-egg thing where linux allowed this and then programs started depending on it?
I cant see the article but yes it isn't easy to be a refugee right now. However I'd think places like Siberia would actually be much better with 100 million poor people from India who could build cities from scratch (over decades of course).
> For one, anti-gun enthusiast would stop going on about "assault rifles", because only around 200 people a year in the US are killed by rifle homicides. It's totally negligible. Less frequent than blunt instrument homicides. Yet, that's exactly what anti-gun people focus on.

Yeah, for some reason people keep going on about the ability for any 18 yo nutcase to go into a shop and buy a military-grade weapon designed to shred organs beyond all repair*, enabling them to efficiently slaughter as many school children as possible before terrorized and outgunned LEOs finally have the guts to take them out.

These pesky humans and their dislike of living in fear of violent death for their children... Can't they just think about this in spreadsheet terms and look at the totally negligible numbers, like the rest of us psychos ? C'mon...

When I lived on the west coast, living 10 miles from work took (much) more than 45 minutes for the commute.
You’d be surprised how much effort goes into reverse engineering APIs and keeping these bots working across many sites as they get updated.

I actually tried writing a simple checkout bot for Bestbuy. After a couple of hours of fiddling around, I concluded that buying a bot would be much easier than figuring out how the BB API works and keeping up with any changes.

Disclaimer: I never ended up buying a bot - it was just a learning activity.
SF is expensive. If SF was cheaper, it would be more attractive, more people would arrive, and rents would be pushed up again by the increased competition. This is just supply and demand at work.
All statistical inferences are estimates, and carry standard errors with them. What is your point?
Weight is obviously going to be the big limitation here but the delivery fee of $3.99 is extremely reasonable, both in time and gas saved. Going to guess they're operating this as a loss-leader for the time being.
Presumably the willingness to pay a given amount from just one person’s income is lower than that of two people’s income. Add in additional temporary uncertainty in big parts of the tech market and I can see a lot of currently occupied units having a tenant not willing to renew as-was.
Very surprised to see them still kicking, and preparing a 5th generation sensor by themselves.

https://m.dpreview.com/news/1885231343/sigma-releases-update...

They are really dinosaurs of electronic imaging. Sans Sony, I can say ALL sensor makers from the dawn of the era died off, or were sold/resold a million times.

The alternative is the bank imposing Satanism on me. Money is the root of all evil.

And you haven't seen my research. Math research based on the Book of Matthew, King James Bible.

Or you know what? Maybe I can somehow come up with the money. Somehow, to pay cash.

> Snort is the foremost Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in the world. Snort IPS uses a series of rules that help define malicious network activity and uses those rules to find packets that match against them and generates alerts for users.

At IBM's Watson lab, I tried rules and was not thrilled.

E.g., there was no way to know what the false alarm rate was or to adjust it or know what change in the false alarm rate an particular adjustment would make.

And the rate of missed detections was also a problem. For that, for the highest possible detection rate, there is the Neyman-Pearson result, and we should at least try to do something similar in practice!

And to write the rules, it appeared needed an expert in the system being monitored.

So I worked up some solutions, responses to these issues, with some math, and published.

But the people using rules are correct! Rules are what the market wants!
> There is a third option, a queuing system similar to what Apple does for their product launches. It would not eliminate scalping entirely.

I don't see how this solves the problem: what prevents the people who want their iGadget faster paying a larger price to a scalper?

> But being able to put your money down today and see that your new iShiny will be delivered in 6-8 weeks helps mitigate FOMO

As far as I am aware, there do exist (even quite some) vendors who offer the option of paying immediately and sending you the new XBox or PlayStation as soon as they get their delivery. This is a queuing system.
Maybe put several knots within the line leaving a loop for the boats to tie onto.
> I think $4m

Reminded me of Descartes...

"I think, therefore $4m."

Lots of layers to that one.
The main reason they do it, IIRC, is because the banks handing out the landlords loans require some minimum rent prices on the leases in the loan contracts. The way they get around this is by offering a month or three of free rent. That way the leases signed by the tenants still me the contractual obligations of the bank.

In the end the tenant still gets screwed when the lease comes up to be renewed, unless they are willing to move out over negotiating another free month in the next cycle.
>Compared to what? What does it even mean to say that?

Compared to civilized countries.
> How would one go about finding that data?

The autonomous car companies have a lot of the data, since they've run the same cars with drivers extensively. They can see the differences in rates-of-situations between cars-working-autonomously, and cars-with-drivers.

Given the long periods of operating with autonomy-plus-backup-driver, they also have stats on how often an in-car driver overrides the car, and exactly why.

Cities also can & should independently collect such data. Some big-city buses are already equipeend with a photo-ticketing mechanism for immediately recording, & citing, and cars illegally parked in their paths/pickup-area. Emergency vehicles should have the same.

> This doesn't comfort me.

Well, I can't make you comfortable if you've got free-floating paranoia about abuses by the powerful. There are many such abuses!

But I can point out that the exact same rational comparative criteria should apply before making a tangible policy decision about the use of the shared roads. We shouldn't be ruled by imaginative worries extrapolated from other insecurities, but rather real measurements of how often a "send a request to clea roads for emergency vehicles" is broadcast, whether each use has a recorded & verified legitimate justification, whether such broadcasts save lives versus not-using-them, etc.
Turbo Bindat – an ELisp library to help manipulate binary data
Yes, though the traditional surgical approach requires little more than rope and string to understand. Maybe training with some instruments and fruit/cadavers. The VR is overkill for this purpose imho.

I was a sceptic initially about it, but from my time with the topic of simulation training, I’m finding that there is a shortage of people who want to be doctors. And many of those that do want to go down that path are good at all sorts of things but this whole knot tying can be very challenging. Some people just have a really hard time with it.
> I really enjoyed AB's show, but I worry people take the wrong thing from it -- they engage in low key herofication[1] of the specific cook or restaurant, rather than learn the names of a few dishes to try at a cafe where they might not give a damn if some American has a good experience or even comes back.

You didn't address me directly, but in case you did, that's an uncharitable interpretation of my story. If you weren't, you're probably right - I worry about the same. People just watching the show and only going to the places he did, and not doing any of their own cultural exploration.

For the record, I spent 2 weeks in Vietnam, and I spent most of that time just wandering the streets of Saigon and Hanoi, following my nose, seeing a delicious bowl of soup, and pulling up a chair, or coming up to a nighttime Banh Mi vendor, and pointing and grunting at the fillings I wanted.

In amongst that, I also did some research of specific places I wanted to visit, and The Lunch Lady was on the list. Even if she wasn't exceptional (even for a place as steeped in culinary quality as Vietnam), which she was, there is something to be said for a parasocial connection with someone's experience. Mild heroification is still meaningful emotionally. Whether he would be upset by this or not, I got to sit in the same chair as Bourdain and have the same experience as someone who I admired and who's thought process resonated with me. That meant something to me. That feeling was real, and my memory of the spot is richer and more vivid because of that connection.

Anything can be taken too far. I admire Elon Musk's bold strategic vision in rockets and electric cars, but I have no interest in blanketly giving my life to defend his horrible ideas on cave submarines, car-sized city tunnels, flamethrowers, or twitter moderation policy. Unlike seemingly a million of his followers who would also just as blindly defend him from credible sexual harassment allegations.
