> I thought that one could just install packages with a package manager.

You could use the command

nix-env -iA mypackage

To install packages, which is like pacman -S mypackage or apt install mypackage.

But... the interesting part of Nix is that it lets you install packages declaratively, by editing a config (like vim and emacs packages). Besides installing packages, all configuration is done through this config file (or bunch of config files): nix generates all files in /etc for you, again, like vim or emacs, but for the whole OS

That way, you easily transfer your setup to another computer or even keep two machines in sync. And you can add it to version control. And you get a grub menu with all your previous setups (until you uninstall them)

If this doesn't appeal you, you probably won't like to use NixOS
> Personally, I consider any GPT or GPT like technology unsuitable for any application in which truth is important . Full stop. The technology fundamentally, in its foundation, does not have any concept of truth

I think you got it all wrong. Not all GPT-3 tasks are "closed-book".

If you can fit in the context a piece of information, then GPT-3 will take it into consideration. That means you can do a search, get the documents into the prompt, and then ask your questions. It will reference the text and give you grounded answers. Of course you still need to vet the sources of information you use, if you give it false information into the context, it will give wrong answers.

Neat that this is still around, I remember using this in ~2007 for an undergrad project back when web scraping was still "easy".

The only site I got blocked from was Google, and they blacklisted my entire CS department IP range for a day, which really upset some of the higher-ups at the time.
My Kobo ereader:

I had an early kindle for the longest time, no backlight, basic. I wanted to upgrade, I got my moneys worth out of the kindle for sure.

I was planning to get a new ereader during xmas and boxing day but nothing really went on sale last year. They were usually $200 for what I wanted but on these 'sales' they listed $300 scratched down to $250. I was planning to wait until they went on real sale but my wife got me one for my bday.

Backlight, physical buttons for back and forth. USB-C for charging. Oh ya, much like.
I lay awake at night and think about how to do it. But maybe it's a goal best left unfulfilled :)
I’m always surprised that they think they’re the only ones that care. Just because it doesn’t show in the same way doesn’t mean I don’t care.

My wife’s care consists of endlessly fuzzing over every little detail of their appearance when going out. Mine consists of ensuring he’s happy and fed.

Personally my issue with adoption is that I do not want to be in a position where I treat my own child and the adopted one differently. Don’t know if it’d happen, but I don’t want to try.
That's assuming you live alone or have no nearby friends/relatives who can watch your child. Most of the world somehow has kids without spending huge sums, because they have children when they are much younger and rely on nearby family to help, just as you will gladly help your children, etc.

This is how civilization propagates. The idea that only the wealthiest can afford to have kids by living in pure isolation and hiring teams of nannies and specialists is contradicted by the practice of opening one's eyes, looking around, and observing much poorer people having kids just fine.

But it requires making sacrifices. Those societies in which few are willing to make the sacrifices necessary die out, and healthier societies take their place.
Question: why do we care about the Bonferroni correction if the model being reviewed shows high performance on holdout/test samples?

I mean, it's nice to know that the p-values of coefficients on models you are submitting for publication are appropriately reported under the conservative approach Bonferroni applies, but I would think making it a _default_ is an inappropriate forcing function when the performance on holdout is more appropriate. Data leakage would be a much, much larger concern IMHO. Variance of the performance metrics is also important.

What am I missing?

I believe you can also allow Messages notifications in Do Not Disturb mode for your favourite contacts, if that's desirable for you
There are cases.

But I prefer my browser to act as a sandbox. Push notifications are disabled and I don't get any requests to allow on any device I use.

But then I don't like notifications in general even from apps and only have f
exceptions for Telegram direct messages/sms and calendars.

If I want to know if I have an email or some app has she news for me, it can wait until I make time to go have a look.

I use devices to work and the last thing I want is distractions from notifications as much as possible. I also feel less overwhelmed and freer when exposed to less notifications.

> It seems fairly natural that a couple in most societies (current and historical) would be better able to provide for their children the older they are.

When I was born in 1991 and my sister in 1995, a simple police officer and a nurse in half-time could provide for two children with ease, in one of what was even back then one of the most expensive cities in Germany. Today, me (IT worker) and my s/o (public health administration) can barely afford a flat and two cats.

Fuck that shit, we need rent controls, higher wages and higher taxes on the rich. Then people like me are not forced to wait until 35 that they can start having children.
Even in super socialized Sweden the first child costs around 180 000 USD (2021) [1] for the median example family. Second child is probably less expensive.

Years ago, I published a paper suggesting that humans have genomic evidence of strong selection pressure on some sex hormone pathways. So, I am quite curious about whether sperm counts are plummeting solely because of environmental changes (e.g., human created hormone influencing toxins, including "the pill") or also because natural selection in humans has drastically changed with the advent of modern society.

In species with highly promiscuous females, sperm counts tend to go up as a response to competition among males (and their cellular representatives). However, in societies that have birth control as the norm, pregnancy is primarily a result of conscious choice (stable relationship, financial status, etc). Consequently, sperm count is under drastically less selection pressure because you have multiple shots on goal without much reproductive consequences, so to speak.

There's a vicious cycle here: One must work on "important" problems in order to get funding that mostly goes to pay too many grad students whose work allows new grants applications to happen, which then reqires more grad students. As a result, departments deliberately take on many more grad students than they will reasonably be able to place in tenure-track jobs. Thus every incoming class of PhD students contains a large fraction (more than half) whose careers will never be served by holding their noses to an unpleasant grindstone. Much in the way humanities departments exploit PhD students for cheap teaching labor, science departments exploit PhD students to keep the stream of indirect funding coming in. A big grant that requires a lot of assistants provides a lot of indirect funding for hiring and paying administrators.

(Also, I would argue that advancing the economy is not actually part of the compact for the NSF, which is really a jobs program for scientists based on the experience during WWII that having scientists around in a pinch was really useful.)

Interestingly, not every field is on this economic treadmill. Mathematics (pure, not applied), seems to declare problems as important based on whether they're unsolved and subjectively interesting. And economics, unsurprisingly, doesn't consider it rational to run large PhD programs that flood the market with competitors and reduce the market value of an economics PhD.

I ran across a site a while back which just seems to be common questions fed to GPT-3; the answers all make perfect grammatical sense, but they're also hilariously wrong.

in brick laying your brain can wander and think about other things, listen to the music and imagine you are living in perfect world without any problems at home. Your hands will be tired, but your brain can take a rest

in most programming jobs, even though you are doing CRUD, your brain should direct you into specific direction (open file.js, put after if (x > 0) block and so on), which tires your brain.
There is some speculation by S2 [1] that appear to be a probable reason this issue will eventually be forgotten by the public anyway. Probably not by the people that lost their money.

> Tea bags are a useless convenience.

Surely an oxymoron?

(I don't really drink tea fwiw; if I did I probably would be the type to get into it with loose leaves sourced from somewhere I believed to be better than anything available in bags (not even because of the plastic or whatever in bags).)
Your money will have to be worth something and nursing homes to still exist in a world without children. Imagine everyone stops having children tomorrow and make a point for that case, then accept some will have a few kids - that is an improvement but is that enough?

Ask HN: What do you want in a habit tracker?
I built a habit tracker https://flathabits.com to scratch an itch. I really wanted to do the right thing for the users. The driving principles were as follows:

- Privacy. These are your personal habits (and they stay on your phone). I want zero access to your data.

- Minimal friction. Habit tracking requires dedication, so it should require almost no effort to stay on top of it.

- No gimmicks. Really, no games, prizes, etc. Just want to build an effective tool.

- No lock-in. Your data is yours. It is saved locally to a text file you can inspect or export at any time.

- No sign-up or account. There really is no need for it. Period.

- No social. Social really just gets in the way. These are your habits, focus on them.

- No analytics. None of any kind. If you like the app or there's a bug, just report it.

- Text-based. Not that it matters to many users, but all data is stored to a text file in org mode.

I've used the app thoroghly and managed to rack up a decent year and a half of continuous running and meditation amongst other habits. The app has 114 ratings (across all countries) with a 4.8 score. But, the app hasn're really picked up many users (1-5 daily downloads) even as a free app.

So, what is this habit tracker missing? What do you actually want in a habit tracker?

WasmEdge is really cool -- I'm super impressed with the work they are doing and hope to eventually provide an alternative runtime backend to Extism using WasmEdge (maybe they'd like to help!)

To answer your questions:
1. Extism provides a specific set of host provided APIs, and currently we don't have support for user-supplied host functions beyond the ones we make available. This will change though, and we're looking for feedback. We held off because there wasn't a clear way to make it easy across ALL the languages we support.

2. Complex types are definitely supported, you need to encode the data into raw bytes and can use whichever format you want (only limited by which formats are available in host & plug-in languages..)

Eventually we will move towards the Component Model which will make the complex types story much simpler.

>Writing small novels in response to simple questions ("who owns the company", "in what countries are you a legal entity") was never going to work with the CA forum

>Unknown until recently by any employee officers of TrustCor we and Measurement Systems S de RL had in common a group of investors who represented funds (groups of companies and other funds), not individuals. Even though we shared a common group of investment funds, we have always operated our business independently of any other company and have exclusion provisions in place to protect the CA business from having access-to or being controlled by or influenced from any third-party, investors, equity-holders, or anyone other than TrustCor’s CA Approving Officials and employees. To the best of our knowledge (and our focused investigation) there is not and has never been shared ownership with any defense company or any USA company. This common group of investors with Measurement Systems S de RL. had already dissolved mid 2021, before these recent claims were publicized, meaning as a natural course of business and not as a reaction to any claims or adverse events. In 2021 TrustCor ownership was transferred from the initial investors/founders to the employees of TrustCor. The legal process has been very step-by-step and very slow, especially due to the protracted treatment and recent death of one key founder, Ian Abramowitz. Nonetheless, it is underway and irreversible, and the common investment vehicle was dissolved over a year ago.

I'm not sure how that isn't a straightforward answer to a somewhat complicated situation in transition.
Google Pub/Sub GA of exactly-once delivery
And on top of that- more and more web content (especially dubious content) is going to start being generated by these kinds of models, which will bring down the quality of Google results too

Maybe Google starts filtering down more aggressively to only trusted sources (by domain or whatever else)- but could you do the same thing with a model like this, to improve its accuracy? Right now it's trained on the whole internet, but I doubt it has to be. At that point it really is just a competing indexing system

I bet you could even train it to find and list sources for its claims

[7] assists you in getting to [5], but if you want something quicker, try consulting or pre-sales. You'll definitely need to build, but 60-80% of the work is driving people that you don't manage towards an outcome or selling people on an outcome (that, ideally, your stuff helps them achieve).
I'm 41 and my boys are 4 and 8. It's wild to even consider I could have been a grandfather by now if my life choices had been different. Wouldn't be such a bad thing though, at 40 you're still pretty young so I could've had my freedom back by now. As it is I'll be 55 by the time they're out of the house and probably won't be able to pick mountain biking back up...

And then if they wait a while I could be pushing 70 before my grandkids arrive. Great-grandkids might be a relic of a time gone by...
Given the current dip in crypto legitimacy, I'm not sure that "Apple won't let you trade in internet memes because they don't accept the funny money you use to trade them" is the attack they think it is.

It looks correct from what I can tell.
From the "puff" TFA:

"Mr. Bankman-Fried, who became a billionaire as FTX soared and was viewed as a wunderkind, faces significant legal trouble. The Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating FTX’s transfer of funds to Alameda. The chief executive of Alameda, Caroline Ellison, told staff this month that the trading firm had dipped into FTX customer funds to finance its own trading activity, The Times and others have reported.

Mr. Bankman-Fried has since come under heavy criticism. In court filings, FTX’s new chief executive, who is managing the company’s bankruptcy, said he had never seen “such a complete failure of corporate control” and listed a series of “unacceptable management practices.”

On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen called FTX’s collapse a “Lehman moment” for the cryptocurrency industry, referring to the bankruptcy of the Wall Street bank Lehman Brothers at the start of the 2008 financial crisis. She indicated that she viewed cryptocurrencies with skepticism..."
