Despite you getting some bad feedback on this comment, I think you're right and I bumped on that phrase too.

This reminds me of a billboard campaign to hire developers that ran a few years ago, and featured a few SEs, including one woman considered attractive. A lot of people said things along the lines of "this isn't what a real SE looks like", along with many... less nice things. Of course, she actually was a full stack engineer at that company. This prompted her to start a campaign (#ILookLikeAnEngineer). For more details read her blog: https://medium.com/the-coffeelicious/you-may-have-seen-my-fa...

Note to some commenters: I'm not saying that you can't tell a fake profile from a not fake profile. I'm saying that a sentence like "they look more like models than software engineers" is implicitly hinting that software engineers are not attractive females. That's the objection that I believe teux was raising, and it's a valid one.
> one of coworkers had to constantly have adrenaline with him. If he got stung and couldn't do it himself, we were trained on how to jab him and call ambulance.

FWIW, this bit is true of everyone I've known who was aware of an anaphylactic allergy, independent of their likelihood of exposure to the allergen. "Carry an EpiPen, know how to use it, make sure some of the people around you are aware of your allergy and know how to handle a reaction" is a very light-weight and reliable solution to "something relatively common could easily kill me".
I would think film criticism is dying as well. Was there a true successor to Ebert? When I think of film criticism now I think of YouTube reviews and not writers who eloquently describe what makes a good movie good.
A short essay that made me notice other people's mistakes when talking about beauty (and numerous other topics):

2-Place and 1-Place Words by Eliezer Yudkowsky

People use "beauty" as if it's a 1-place word (objective metric), rather than a 2-place word ("beautiful to entity X").

Now anytime anyone says "X is best" I follow up with "for who? and in what context?"

Yeah, we certainly should be doing as much as we can, but it seems time and time again we keep finding things to fix only when it's actually forced to test.

It's the same reason that datacenters don't just run the generators every month, but actually switch over to generator power and disconnect from the grid to verify it works (and if it doesn't, hopefully the batteries last long enough to get back to the grid!).
My initial setup is to use burner inserters (which don't need an electrical connection to move) to feed the boilers, combined with priority splitters so that the ore smelters only get whatever coal the power doesn't get. Combined with overprovisioning of steam power, it means that the factory will start shutting down before the power grid gets overheated to the point that it can't keep itself up.

Later, I move to nuclear power, where fuel use is such that even glacial low-power inserters can keep the facilities fed through a power spiral. Although my massive 12-reactor facility did rely on pumps to keep the steam moving fast enough through my flowmeter to regulate power... but when you have a 12 reactor powerplant, power death spirals take long enough to occur that you will have ample time to fix them before things start needing black start.

One of the lawyers: How did you meet Fredrik and Gottfrid?

Peter Sunde: I don't remember, but I assume it was in a chat room on the internet.

One of the lawyers: When was the first time you met IRL?

Peter Sunde: We don't use the expression IRL. We say AFK. But that's another issue. But, I
don't remember that either.

Tomas Norstrom - District Court Judge: Got to know each other IRL? What is that?

One of the lawyers: In Real Life.

Peter Sunde: We don't like that expression. We say AFK - Away From Keyboard. We think that the internet is for real.

> Are there any police investigations from democratic countries where the investigators used Telegram communication in a prosecution?

Literally a week ago in India: https://torrentfreak.com/telegram-discloses-user-details-of-...

> I haven't seen anyone show that Telegram uses bad encryption

The bigger point isn't that Telegram uses "bad encryption", it's that it isn't encrypted by default in all scenarios. This is a conscious choice they've made.

> If Telegram turns out to be unsafe, I wouldn't have any issue with continuing using it for everyday stuff, and using a different app for secrets.

Great, now every time you're talking on the "other" app the State knows you're talking about something sensitive. The point of encrypting everything is to ensure that encryption - by itself - is not a sign of illicit activity.
ChatGPT uses a modified version of GPT3 (details are sparse, but here are some: https://beta.openai.com/docs/model-index-for-researchers). There’s a logbook associated with the training of OPT (similar size to GPT-3): https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/blob/main/projec...

This article estimated the cost of training GPT3 to be over $4M: https://heits.digital/articles/gpt3-overview
I would strongly recommend against using IP ACLs to "... verify the source IP of the request to prevent acknowledging webhooks from unknown and potentially malicious servers."

You should validate that the request is signed correctly, and reject it if not. An IP ACL can be a useful "remove some of the noise" tool, but no more than that.

For example, Discord's webhook implementation has you verify the incoming request against an app-specific (your app; not all apps) public key: https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-a... — this is really the right approach to this.

I would describe your second point as gaslighting. Tastes are different and many people dislike modern (and post-modern) architecture.

Talking with architects about this, they told me that building differently today is too expensive, doesn't go well with industrialized construction.

I argue that architecture is an academic shitshow. It's design for competition juries and not for the people using it. Which is btw very contrary to the initial ideas of Bauhaus, which is why i personally consider it a big failure, despite it's apparent success.
This particular surveillance and espionage tool might be far too valuable to employ it against some petty criminals. It is known that a lot of Russian dissidents and members of the opposition use Telegram - so covertly spying on them might be much more important for FSB directorate.
Just a small correction, there are two letters 'љ' and 'њ' which are single char in Serbian Cyrillic (like everything else) but 2-char sequence in Latin: 'lj' and 'nj' ('pollution' and 'new'). So there are some complications when automatic switching between alphabets because it's not a simple 1:1 for all chars.

Fun fact, since both alphabets are tought early in school and used all the time, most adults can read both of them and even switch mid-sentence without noticing a difference. This also means that we're a bit "blind" about traffic signs or directions/instructions which are in Cyrillic only - we don't notice anything strange but it's a big difference for foreigners!

This is not limited to Serbia. For instance when travelling to Greece it's much better if you know how to read Greek alphabet since not everything is presented in Latin.
I'm really just using Blender for modelling and UV unwrapping (and I've used the paint-to-texture feature once) and I think it's pretty solid, but I really haven't gone near sculpting or anything soft-surface/organic. I probably need to model another dozen things to get up to my Modo ability though.
Right, it's the sort of illegal where you go to civil court.

Sure, if you lose you probably just end up paying money. But lots of "real" crimes have punishments that amount to paying some fines but no jail time.
If you’re talking about the Oscars and “The Favourite“ it won (a different) one.
For me, it depends on the movie. I'm glad I saw Mad Max: Fury Road on the big screen - it grabbed, and didn't let go until the credits. And the audio is a big component of that (at home, I just have regular headphones).

But for 90% of dramas, comedies, etc.? The 4K TV in the living room will do just fine.
I don’t want to spend my entertainment dollars subjecting myself to political gaslighting. I want to be entertained by a good story. Sadly, this seems to be an insurmountable hurdle for Hollywood at the moment.
You're not wrong to an extent about the good stuff sticking around but I think you're missing the point. It's not like the aesthetics the author is complaining about were chosen for purpose like a farmer painting his barn red because red is cheap. The slice of the economic ladder from which the author cites his examples is mostly rich enough that small variations in cost or performance are not really a driver of styling trends. Widget designers and real estate developers are specifically choosing conformist blandness aesthetics on purpose, not simply tolerating them as a means to some other end.
>Today starts a new era of privacy.

I literally spat out my coffee. What nerve.

Telegram disguises itself as an encrypted chat app, when it is actually just a regular centralized plaintext messenger that has an encryption feature that nobody uses.

Correct, they sell NFTs of mass-generated cartoon art.

Can you point to the Git repo for WhatsApp, or iMessage, or Facebook Messenger? I sure can't, and don't trust any claims of backdoor-free E2E messaging until I see that.

Other than Signal, Telegram is one of the very few messengers that happens to be both E2E capable in some way, open source, and sufficiently heard of that people won't give you weird looks when you suggest downloading the app.

Ignoring it is typically the wisest response if you can't effectively explain yourself. If you can, responding can work, but it's going to add to the fire.

They did neither here: Mentioning the controversy, but not saying anything redeeming, more like demonstrating that they don't take them seriously.

I wonder about how younger people have access to more distributed services these days, like Minecraft, selecting servers, there are more opportunities for interacting with services like Discord -- essentially things that are less consolidated than say FB or IG. So there becomes a preference/familiarity with the concept of distributed services and affinity for them (federation)...perhaps?
I’ve honestly never measured it, but it lasts me most of the day (e.g. ~8 hours) with the i5 chip I optioned it with last year. I wouldn’t classify battery life as a strength, but I wouldn’t classify it as a weakness either. On a normal day, I’m never worried about the battery dying. If you want more battery, the bigger sized X1 offers more than the Nano.

My normal workflow consists of Firefox playing music on YouTube, VS Code, and the terminal.
How are peoples' names less made up than their pronouns? It seems just as rude to refuse to use someone's preferred name as you would their preferred pronouns.
>It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human, and all things super-human, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law.

Emphasis mine.

Louis Sullivan is quoted as saying this in 1896, prior to any world wars. I think you can blame architecture being reduced to the sum of its usefulness to our friends in Chicago, who are far more worried about function over aesthetic. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe decided "less is more" in Chicago. Frank Lloyd Wright. John Root. Daniel Burnham. This continues today with the premiere skyscrapers in the middle east and Asia being designed by Chicago's Skidmore, Owings and Merril. It's too cold to care what you look like.

This is the data gathering phase. When we're able to release a database of these hospital prices with high data quality I think it'll be a pretty big deal, just because it's so much work.

It's hard as hell because of how inconsistently formatted these price sheets are. We'll need to develop a robust ML tool to process all of them in a consistent way, or just put a lot of man hours in. That's something that One Fact is working on. DoltHub's main interest is in producing the source databases, which is just a lot of grind work.

We're crowd sourcing the data collection via a "data bounty." It's like a scavenger hunt where you get paid for the data you input. I designed the table and I'm who reviews the data going in, via pull requests.

Incidentally we do have a hospital price database here (the only open one of its kind) but with mixed data quality. https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/hospital-price-...
This is a huge question with dozens of answers, but I think the shortest, most concise one is this: culture has emphasized novelty over quality. No one cares if you can demonstrate skill, unless it's in doing something new. Any list of celebrated architects and artists from the 1950s on will be comprised almost entirely of people that did something shocking or novel. There are many reasons as to why this happened, ranging from photography making it easy to create realistic images, to corporations having an interest in forced obsolescence.

The way past this, I think, will basically come down to two things:

1. Respecting craftsmanship, which is ultimately about quality and reaching certain standards rather than being novel

2. Becoming comfortable with abundance and not basing value on scarcity. As in, we can all have beautiful things and we don't need to use rarity to determine if something is "artistically important." This has been the path of the art market (hence the huge price tags) and more recently NFTs, which to me are just a huge step in the wrong direction

Ask HN: Why do static sites need to be generated on the server?
I'm in the process of building a Hugo site, and I'm at the point where I'm looking for deployment options.

My assumption was that I'd mostly be looking at fancy ways of just pushing my /public folder to a server. I run Hugo commands locally, maybe I push to a git repo, and that triggers a push of my public folder.

Instead, I'm typically being instructed to .gitignore my /public folder, push everything to a server (sometimes via a git repo), and then allow the server to run it's own build command and then deploy?

Can someone help me understand the benefits of building the static site on the server as well? Certainly it can't just be for URLs because that seems like a problem solved easier in other ways.

They mention several languages besides Rust that are also much safer than C/C++. 59% of C/C++ programs have vulnerabilities while only 10% of Python do. I wonder: are the Python vulnerabilities mostly from external C libraires? I was trying think of how pure Python can be memory corrupted.

A few weeks ago I read a tutorial on writing Rust Python libraries, and it looked cool. I have just started publishing some of my libraries to PyPi.org but so far what I am writing is pure Python.
Except for a smart phone?
Me too.

Every time I read statements like this from Jose

"This brings another discussion point: a type system naturally restricts the amount of code we can write because, in order to prove certain properties about our code, certain styles have to be rejected."

I can't but think few things:

- by compilers (in this case static type checkers) laws we all know that there are valid programs that won't satisfy the type checker and viceversa there's only a handful (none being production or development ready) of compilers powerful enough to infer all code bugs

- limiting the expressiveness of a language isn't necessarily a bad thing

I've noticed that people with a huge background in dynamic languages tend to have a natural refusal for static types. Lispers are a community with such an attitude, even the typed lisps like typed/racket seem to be born more to please people wanting typecheckers and academics than the userbase itself.

But I, and my mind, work the other way around: I want to think about the types first, I need them to express my domain and my DSLs, so I need an expressive type system able to translate my thoughts and validate all of my program with nothing but types. It's possible in plenty of languages (most famous one is TypeScript with its declare keyword) to do type-driven development and I can't really function without it.

Once a program has been well modeled, once I've seen the APIs, then and only then I get into implementation and it is by far the part I spend less time on.

Every time I read a lisp dialect without static types (most of them) my mind just doesn't work properly, I can't follow much. And I really believe that the lack of commercial success for many of these languages derives from how poorly non statically-typed languages scale when klocs and number of maintainers of a project start increasing.

If the bindings were the same, then what's the point? We're not a "vim ported to rust", instead we got our own take on things. (from the vision doc: "Don't try to be everything for everyone. There are many great editors out there to choose from. Let's make Helix one of those great options, with its own take on things.")

> helix wants to get much wider adoption

I've stated this before: I just want to make a good editor that I like using daily. There's a growing community of users with similar preferences that are very happy with it, but I'm not aiming to corner the market -- this isn't a startup. Much in the same way as vim isn't trying to become more like VSCode to increase it's market share.

That said, thanks for giving it a try! For keybinds, we do have a couple of guides:

If you are doing it right, on multi-threaded computers, modern GCs will usually not result in freezes or stutter. Usually, even on older GCs, only a Full Mark and Sweep GC will cause a pause in operation. If you are seeing a lot of Full GCs usually that means that you aren't managing memory properly or have un-closed resources building up.
I have a paper subscription to The Economist which is a weekly but I think is very high quality.

I have been thinking about the problems of news curation lately and particularly about how Google News is only possible because it is able to recognize clusters of related stories. I mean, anything that gets in the New York Times get parroted by 300 other newspapers in 24 hours, and if you didn't fight this the news feed would be spammed by hundreds of copies of the same article. So generating a good news feed requires identifying relevant clusters and then selecting the best articles about other clusters.

I always thought Google had something specialized to the news problem and that in particular was built with the temporal structure of the problem in mind but I went looking in the literature and didn't see anything on use of temporal structure in news filtering.

I am working on something now that is going to use conventional clustering algorithms for text (maybe based dimensional reduction on B.O.W., maybe based on one of these new-fangled neural vectors) and seeing if there is some easy way to adapt it to the temporal setting. Running a monthly batch job would make it closer to the conventional clustering case than the continuous "process a set of RSS feeds" approach I was thinking about.
