Show HN: Py-obsidianmd, a Python library for Obsidian users
Hello Hacker News,

This message is relevant to those of you who use [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) for personal knowledge management.

py-obsidianmd is a python library that enables you to change your notes’ metadata in batch. You can also easily move your metadata between the frontmatter and inline notation (dataview style).

Checkout:

- the presentation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRPBAKiu37Y

- github repository: https://github.com/selimrbd/py-obsidianmd

- example usage: https://selimrbd.github.io/py-obsidianmd/examples/

It has saved me a lot of time, and made me free to experiment with how I handle my knowledge base’s metadata. I hope it can also be useful to others in the community !

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Cheers,
Must have been a huge weight off your chest when you stopped benchpressing
I played WoW on dialup will into the lifespan of WotLK. Average ping in the 320ms range. I learned to play around it to a degree, 'queueing' my spell casts by triggering it when my current one was close to completion, such that the command would hit the server about the time it would complete my previous spell. I could reliably chain cast spells this way once I got used to it, using the order of operations to my advantage as best as possible, as you say.

Once I moved and got onto broadband, and found myself with a miraculous 100ms ping, I basically had to learn the game all over again as my instincts would cause me to try to do actions I couldn't yet do, since I wasn't quite done casting a spell, harvesting a node, etc.

Later on I changed servers and was below 80ms ping, and the difference was again palpable but not game changing.
Nothing is exposed directly to the internet, but I had some development services that were accessible on my private network.

I do use Dropbox, but the odd part was it seemingly IPsec traffic.

I really should have grabbed a pcap when it was occurring. I only have a screenshot of tcpdump which is not very useful.

Isn't that >$0.07 per search?
Show HN: An independent status page for AWS
Hi HN, I’m one of the co-founders of a startup named Metrist and today we released a free, no login required, “real” status page for AWS service health.

I know we aren’t the first to do this, but I think we take a unique approach and we are excited about what we can do with this, and our full product, going forward.

As a company, Metrist exists to test and monitor the functionality, performance, and availability of the web’s most built upon cloud products.

For this status page, we are running functional tests against 15 of the most popular AWS services, from 5 North American regions, as frequently as every 25 seconds. These aren’t ping tests, rather we look for the service to do what it exists to do, evaluating the results and updating the status page when we see something unusual.

Yes, there are currently a number of limitations with this status page that we address with our full product. Right now, we only use a single AWS account of our own, and only in a single AZ per region, so the status may not reflect partial outages. We do plan to expand our visibility with data from more accounts, in more regions, and more AZs.

We’d love your feedback in the comments! And since AWS is a pretty reliable service, if you want to see how our status page looks when things aren’t healthy, check out our blog post here: https://metrist.io/blog/introducing-a-real-aws-status-page/

It likely is not. Just the filing fees in federal court can be close to $500 and I believe the ECOA requires the action be brought in federal court.
If you are to go this far, don't stop at dd-ing disks to zero. Replace the SSD controller firmware as well + BIOS + all firmware everywhere.
The problem for Google isn't just technical, it's organizational.

The entire organization and all its products are built around ads. If a new product comes along that drastically reduces the number of pages a user views, what happens to the ad revenue?

Right now, every click, every query is an impression. But if there's an all-knowing AI answering all my questions accurately, what incentive do I, as a user, have to search again, scroll through pages, and look around multiple pages?

Google will have to adopt a radically new business model and there's organizational inertia in doing that.
Statistical models and probabilistic models are not synonymous.

Vanilla deep learning models are statistical models (a la linear regression) and not probabilistic models (a la Gaussian mixture). It is important to maintain the distinction.

But to your point about the dichotomy between deep learning and more "traditional" statistical methods: this confusion in common parlance clearly has negative effects on model-building among engineers. You are right that when people think "deep learning" they think of very specific architectures with very specific features, and don't seem to conceive of the possibility that automatic differentiation techniques mean you can incorporate all sorts of new model components that blur the line between deep learning and older methods. For instance, you could feed the results of a kernel SVM to an ARIMA model in such a way that the whole thing is end-to-end differentiable. In fact, the great benefit of deep learning long-term is (in my opinion) that the ability to build these compositional models means you can bake in that much more inductive bias into the models you build, meaning they can be smaller and more stable in training.
> These problems were not around during the Giuliani/Bloomberg administrations. I would look who has been the the mayor after them for a culprit.

These absolutely were problems during the Giuliani and Bloomberg administration. People have been complaining about them for decades.

It got markedly worse in spring 2020 because sanitation services were temporarily reduced, but it was an issue long before that.

In other cities, mountains of garbage pile up in alleyways or other just-off-the-street venues. Since there basically are no alleyways in Manhattan, the garbage goes in the street instead. I'm not sure the rats care very much either way.
I also just fixed the first graph. It still has 2 axes, but the order of magnitude is more realistic.
Officials fear ‘complete doomsday scenario’ for drought-stricken Colorado River
Delivery logistics have advanced dramatically and is trending towards near-realtime. For everything that is delivered, some non-trivial percentage of that needs to be taken away as trash. But there is no incentive to improve trash pickup logistics.

Perhaps we could pass laws that require anyone delivering something (hi Amazon) to also take away some proportional amount of trash, removing the externality they currently enjoy. I am sure they would eventually be a lot more efficient at it than the current system.
> Biology is not confused about this. Males produce gametes (sperm) and females produce large gametes (ova). There are no intermediate gametes, which is why there is no spectrum of sex. Biological sex in humans is a binary system.

This is not entirely true, due to the existence of various kinds of intersex genotypes, which may produce no gametes, or both gametes (functionality notwithstanding). Biological sex in humans is not a purely binary system.

That said, it absolutely is a bimodal distribution, so ChatGPT is still completely wrong.

I did live there and on a single family block in queens. Typically there was two pickups a week with people using metal cans in those days. There were plenty of rats.

Where people go, rats follow. If you think that your town/city/building doesn’t have rats, you are wrong.

HN commenters don’t have all of the answers. Garbage bags on the street are a nuisance, but not the problem.
Nah. The big 4 were written in 1905 . It was like in the 1920s or something that he worked on general relativity and wormholes.

Everything else I’m not going to read because it’s just bleeding heart nonsense.
And when you are done playing with the site, if you have spare time, you can "entail" some "Penrose's" in Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection's "Loopy".

Within my extended family and larger social orbit, I've watched maybe 20 kids grow up. The girls are uniformly successful and seem to have significant support from family, school, and society. The boys have been struggling and have experienced limited support to a degree that I find shocking. Perhaps half will never achieve regular employment, and sadly several seem destined for addiction and early deaths.

This is just anecdote, but for me, I'm inclined to believe 20 data points I can personally observe.

I'm not sure exactly how new this is. Even decades ago, my experience of growing up male is that to a fair degree it's like being thrown off the dock. "Hope you learn to swim before you drown!" The idea that boys are privileged over girls seems like a cruel joke.
Unfortunately, the Switch is only about 90% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy. PS5 is 98%.
Yours is an example of aspect-based sentiment analysis. Typically it has been tackled in two steps: first extract the aspects, then classify them as positive/negative. GPT or T5 are possible options for doing both in one go, but splitting the task seems to be still a good option [1].

This is looking strange, because Particle Physics is one of very few areas, where hardware is not magnitudes cheaper than software.

I mean not only computer hardware, which is also non cheap, but budgets for experimental hardware, which not all countries can handle.

So, if program is really important, they could rearrange budgets and give some finances for software.
>> A sibling argument is saying that if side-loading were opt in, major apps would move to require it from users.

>> This has never happened on Android.

> When Fortnite launched on mobile in 2018, Epic Games very notably sidestepped the Google Play Store and pushed users to download the title directly from their website...

Though that's the exception that proves the rule. Besides Fortnite, who else has pushed users into side-loading? It's not at all common, which weighs strongly against the scare-mongering that it would somehow cause their platform security to collapse if Apple allowed it.

It also seems like it would be the case if your app is big enough to get people to side-load it, it's probably also big enough to get some security/privacy of its own to keep its practices in check.
On Windows I have been using Listary because it integrates into all file dialogs and Windows File Explorer. The killer feature is that it will navigate in file dialogs to where you are in the file explorer. Makes saving files so much easier.

It doesn't index contents just filenames so it is fast.

Ah yes, that study of 99 (predominantly overweight) men from an infertility clinic that definitely shows soy affects sperm count.

As far as I'm aware the evidence just isn't there with respect to soy and cherry picking the single study that shows some potential link is just helping fuel a dietary myth, would be my view.
I think he meant it in a way the same way that some people are still learning COBOL: a lot of critical, legacy code is written in C++ and cannot easily (or won't be for various reason) moved to another langage. Therefore, developer that can maintain a C++ codebase might become invaluable for some company.

I am both fascinated and confused by crypto currencies.

The idea of a free-as-in-freedom, flexible, secure, and more democratic and independent payment system seems quite attractive.

At the same time I seem to see mainly examples of high-to-extreme volatility, fraud, technical and regulatory exclusion and suppression, and a total lack of real-world practicality.

I am quite sure my view is skewed.

If you have used crypto currencies in real life, ideally for more than speculative investment, would you be willing to share (parts of) the experience? I'd be very curious to learn more about this part of the puzzle of crypto.

How did you acquire crypto?
What did you use it for?
How did you feel about the transaction?
Would you do it again?

Or anything else you'd like to share for that matter.
whoa nice list! (ty for not naming it another awesome-something lol). xosh.org one is what we used as a starting point to find and try out every text-to-diagram tool when we were doing research for D2. i don't think they're maintained anymore, but we included a link to them in our README anyway too.
One of the great promises of the Basic Income idea is that within many domains, it eliminates project funding as a constraint,

with the anticipatable outcome that a great many people "waste" their time on uninteresting, incorrect, ludicrous, ideas,

and a few people who might have been fundable today, do solid real work,

and sometimes, a few people who would have NOT have been fundable (per OP), do work which Changes Everything, which might not have been done today otherwise.

Those of us reading this, we live in a surplus economy.

We could fund everyone.

Indeed, we should, because it would over a reasonable time frame, pretty likely Change Everything.

All it would cost is fewer 100m long yachts for a few thousand sociopaths.
Can I just get unobtrusive relevant ads without tracking? I didn't mind the search ads on Google back in the day before they got egregious and greedy.
KYC is a legal requirement. If you want cryptocurrency to be adopted, it needs to be legal to use. Even if it becomes cost competitive, most businesses aren't going to touch something which exposes them to risk of getting involved in a money laundering case.
usd for cross border payments is a problem and speaking frankly it is a hugeeeee problem. Crypto fixes this.
Yes, but the fact that she's the largest shareholders seems immaterial to identifying the corporate officers.

And as for ownership, wouldn't knowing the person you're talking to is the largest shareholder enhance their credibility to negotiate and discuss issues with you?
I really didn't consider brand. I thought it would be easy enough to determine a copper pan versus a teflon or iron pan that branding wouldn't offer any advantages.

When I was in SF, they still had the different bins, and most people believed that what they put in the green bin was recycled (assuming they put the correct items in there). But what was actually happening I don't know. I do see "recycling" more and more being used as a synonym for trash, including the little computer icon, but also in common parlance.
Well if you spend too much time sitting and don't reduce your calorie intake to match, you get fat. Being fat generally does bad things to your health, and one known example of that is that being fat reduces your fertility.

I believe what the post you're replying to is implying is, there's a ton of C++ code in the world that isn't going to be ported to Rust, and someone is going to have to fix all of those bugs in C++ code already in the wild. So you can get paid to be that person.
I'm learning modern c++ these days, but I don't follow your 'money' logic here...
That's fine and all, but do you think GPT-3 will stop right here? That there won't be further improvements to the model?

Do you think the results will be the same in 2030?

Have to see where the product is going, not where it is right now.
I wonder if Google would cut off accounts associated with suing Google.
I doubt that. They said replace ads, not add affiliates, those are different words entirely. The "ad replacing" is a common lie.

Just don't use Brave search, the separate product. Or you know, add the blocking rules yourself to the ad blocker, that works. Or you know, pay the $3 dollars to support the thing you use.

Most of the people complaining here don't actually care about this. This is all just a proxy war to go against Eich for his beliefs. It happens every Brave thread, pretty transparent and pathetic.
Sounds like an awesome opportunity, I'll be submitting an application for the Junior role!
Honestly it sounds like you just don’t understand the answer and assume it’s wrong. It sounds right to me . Do you ignore the existence of intersex people?
“The rats are absolutely going to hate this announcement. But the rats don’t run this city. We do” has become a top tier audio meme. I think I hear this in my head about as often as I see “(x) Doubt” or “This is fine (dog engulfed in flames)”

NYC really did a great job with the marketing on this.

I think the real reason TikTok was successful is it popularized the audio/video meme and the means for them to go viral.

> Nobody's shown a way yet to teach a computer how to tell bullshit from facts and filter out the bullshit in it's regurgitation/hallucination text creation stuff.

And yet they keep improving at every iteration. Also, keep in mind that this objection will exist even if these AI get near omniscience. People disagree with facts all the time, usually for political motives. Therefore your type of criticism won't ever be settled.
Why not just use the same axis? It's still incredibly misleading.
