What's a tokenizer?
Used to love Atom back in the day, thanks for everything team.
Proof systems are for doing mathematics. A function in these is a mathematical function and not a function in the programming sense of the word. For a mathematical function 'this computes forever' is not an acceptable outcome.
rust lifetimes and traits leads to different designs than .net more classical OO with managed memory & runtime. Also the rust team doesn't have Microsoft manpower. It is a bit unfair to say "just do like .net".

To me the right approach is to publish an "official" meta package that depends on a few core packages that work well together.

Musk lived long enough to become the villain.
The person complaining about saying "dude" already lowered the tone of the drasticaly debate by saying, apparently without a hint of irony, "stop thinking like a poor person." So I agree there's a lot of low quality, revolting posts here but the use "dude" doesn't really scratch the surface.
I tried it recently, it still felt like x11vnc wrapped in RDP.
First, get a lawyer, do what they say.

Second, find a replacement ASAP, as you won't be able to continue like this. Don't fall into the trap of "it will somehow work out".
I do not believe it is fair to characterise the moderation of stories related to Elon Musk and Twitter as "being suppressed". There are currently dozens upon dozens of submissions about Musk & Twitter, most of which are either low effort, low info, or outright duplicates.

Looking at what is being posted and comparing that what is allowed vs removed, it's clear that what is being removed are almost entirely duplicate submissions. This is an entirely reasonable and uncontroversial moderation policy / practice.
Same, it all depends on your costs, if you are SaaS and have a dev team that knows Oracle then why not use it, it's not going anywhere, it's hugely reliable and it will definitely scale up vertically as high as anyone. And plsql is a much underrated technology.

On the other hand if your product involves on-site deployment then Oracle is most likely not going to stack up.
It is a processing step in natural language processing: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2020/05/what-is-tokeniz...
Yes.

(Damn, it's hard to find a "list of emoticons" (or even "usenet faq") from back in the day now. So much more recent stuff clogging the search results.)

Anyway, this list of emoticons from '94 (according to the internet archive) is a pretty good representative of the sort of thing that people passed around then:

https://ia802801.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/23...

As you can see, most have noses.

Also, RFC-1855 (Netiquette Guidelines) from October '95 has one example of a smiley in §2.1.1: "Use smileys to indicate tone of voice, but use them sparingly. :-) is an example of a smiley (Look sideways)." I suspect that at least one of the bibliographical references provided would have contained a decent list of them at the time, but so many links are dead now. (And even if some of the ftp ones still exist, most browsers have dropped ftp support now, so most people are kinda SOL there anyway.)

Oracle Apex will have to be considered too.

nothing these days is really stopping you from making a cross platform native gui app, like with Qt, wxWidgets or similar. The only reason you wouldnt do it is because a lack of skilled programmers, and/or time.

Ive built quick little apps in Qt or wxWidgets for my wife, they use a few MB at most, they don't use any cpu unless you click on them (because naturally, theyre suspended), and the code bases are incredibly concise.

It really is, as gen z would say, a skill issue.

Or, said the other way around: Its simple and easy to use, and as a tradeoff you get no performance.
can we please have some good example input/outputs in the readme itself? what is the expected output of print(enc.encode("hello world")) ?
> If sensor data were the problem, computers could easily outperform humans since we have sensors that generate much more detailed data than the human senses

I believe you vastly underestimate the amount of information the human brain processes continuously. Computers outperform humans by performing extremely narrow, focused computations at a high rate of speed. Despite years and years of research, I don't believe humans have even scratched the surface of understanding the human brain. In fact, I don't believe humans are capable of fully understanding it, since it was created by Someone so much greater than them.
Such a shame.

Atom was (is?) great. The first editor extension I wrote was for it (in Coffeescript, no less. Terrible idea in hindsight).

Thanks for the good times.
One big advantage of option 3 is that it allows for putting properties and nested selectors in any order, rather than segregating them in different groups. This is already possible in Sass and I do it all the time. For example:

.card {
border: 1px solid;
&:first-child {
border-top: none;
}
background: blue;
&:hover {
background: red;
color: yellowgreen;
}

display: flex;
// etc.
}
Are there any performance benchmarks or is it not applicable for tokenization?

Ok, but the vast majority of revenue was not generated from selling credits over the entire lifetime of the company, which is what matters when we are talking about Tesla's present-day value (and therefore the source of Musk's wealth).

> Why are people with glasses still wearing masks?

Even a crappy mask can still give others some protection from your coughs & sneezes. Plus, I've noticed it can help remind people that you wish to keep some distance (whether it's for their benefit or for yours).

As an aside, I finally tried a good fitting N95 (3M) and tried it outside today for an hour walk in 35-deg-F weather. First time I've never had my glasses fog; not even a bit.

Yeah, don't really need a mask outside if you avoid crowds, but the air quality was less than perfect here today.
and there's a thread with thousand+ comments about that, so clearly it is being discussed?
To my knowledge IBM's DB2 too has an "Oracle compatibility" switch that makes it also support PL/SQL.
I bow to your wisdom. I haven't made much money in the stock market myself, but I assume you have since apparently you are smarter than the market.
It's not clear at all what that strict syntax would look like that would disambiguate with less lookahead. The fundamental problem is that colon is used both for declarations and in (pseudo-)selectors, not that people are somehow inventing corner-case CSS that nobody actually writes and we can just outlaw in a spec change.

The only change I can really think of would be requiring space after the colon for declarations (i.e. “color:red” is disallowed, it must be “color: red”), but that's much more than a strict mode, that's something that invalidates millions and millions of perfectly valid web pages and introduces a much larger whitespace sensitivity than today.

Actually all progress will definitely will have a huge impact on a lot of lives—otherwise it is not progress. By definition it will impact many, by displacing those who were doing it the old way by doing it better and faster. The trouble is when people hold back progress just to prevent the impact. No one should be disagreeing that the impact shouldn't be prevented, but it should not be at the cost of progress.

I am curious, and I don't have the insights into these systems. But you first mention DAGs. And then you say rewrite to java or .NET.

When I think about DAGs today, i think about Airflow. And SQL.

Would it be a better match to rewrite these systems in SQL and Airflow? SQL for the logic and Airflow for the batch processing.

I know for many (particularly those who mention java and .NET) SQL is just a place where you fetch and store your data. But once you start building systems with it, you will soon realize it contains nothing more and - at the same time - nothing less than what you actually need for mangling your data in a terse way.

I know there are many reasons to frown on SQL for this, and I am fine with any comments about it. I think it can be a start of a good discussion. Nothing is black or white.
Are you really DevOps if you need to write such rants? Are you really DevOps if you company has Devs?

I've thought, that DevOps by definition is developer and operations in one. You wrote service, you support service, and there is no boundary, and there is no such problem as described in this text, by definition.

DevOps complains about problem, proposed solution for which is to be DevOps...

I disagree, even I use it myself, for those reasons:
- plugins are a mess - when working with tech x how do I know from that huge list which plugins to use
- keyboard shortcuts don`t work out of the box in my Ubuntu system
- The ui feels non intuitive and overbloated to me - even IntelliJ Idea feels more clean and easy to use
- I would love if VSCode could detect the technologies my project uses and just install/use the proper plugins for me. And maybe even without asking me so I could be happily writing code, building, running tests and doing debugging right from the start wether it`s Rust, Kotlin + Spring Boot, Node + Typescipt whatever... sadly its not working like this...

> What is everyone up in arms for? This is a private company, so he can do whatever he wants.

Not exactly. At least here in Germany, there is established jurisprudence that Twitter and Facebook are public "town halls" for discussion and as such have to maintain some sort of freedom of speech, with the borders being set by German laws. That means that for example Holocaust denial, which is perfectly fine under US law, has to be regionally blocked for Germany, while some instances of what Twitter/FB consider to be "hate speech" under their rules still has to be made available.

The general judicial consensus in Germany is that while platforms do have a requirement to moderate discourse (e.g. to remove libel and outright Nazi content), they also aren't allowed to moderate too strictly.
What editor did you go for after that? I still use Atom (I don’t need an IDE that much)
I know OpenAI has been getting a lot of flack about their seemingly extreme measures of "safety" (and I agree to an extent, although it's more nuanced from my perspective), full kudos to them for open sourcing many useful projects that can serve as the building block for many other projects. From CLIP, to Whisper, and now this project, I do appreciate that effort from their team. So thanks, if you're reading this!
This is close to what I've been wondering about.

Is it possible that we are all suffering from a form of psychological illness due to social networks, with symptoms ranging from mild to meltdown?

> a thing professional comedians are inured to

This. I think generally cultural guard rails (of various local flavor) developed over centuries prior to mass communication that addressed the needs of the super ego (our 'my place in the world' bit of self) and now our super egos are confronted by (sometimes an imaginal) 'society & public stage' that far exceeds the scope of what generation after generation of humans have confronted.

I offer as evidence the (effectiveness of) immaturity of discourse on social media. This is symptomatic of 'regression'. A sort of collective Lord of the Flies moment for humanity.

Arbitrariness of de-platforming, link blocking and pejorative labelling is now being directly experienced by many people on Twitter 2.0. Unequal treatment is always an outrage but we only properly know when it happens to us.

Musk's running of Twitter is an outrage now, selective application of the rules to coerce behaviour and penalise opponents is an outrage always
Yeah, but aren't there lots of open-source e-mail systems already that he could just set up his own instance of and administer for himself -- thus achieving both the "control" and the "privacy" goal -- in stead of writing a new one?
Additionally all links to anything in mastodon (may be server specific) are also being blocked. Mastadon users are reporting this morning that they aren't able to post links to their Mastadon accounts with error messages that Twitter has identified the site as harmful.

> I wonder how long it'll be before Musk starts remotely shutting down the Teslas of people who say things about him that he doesn't like.

Now that would be a perfect case for a lawsuit. I mean, Elon probably will do it anyway, but he will get reined in by the courts. Time for him to learn he's not above the law after all.

Seem to me like an interactive Demo would be a good next step.
Elon is showing exactly why we moved from absolute monarchs to constitutional systems with rule of law. He's running twitter as an absolute monarch, making up new rules to suit his whims, while he is above those rules.

And I think this also shows why corporate capitalism is inherently at odds with democracy: every corporation is effectively a dictatorship, their internal economy a plan economy, its rules at the whim of the CEO. And Elon is more eager than many CEOs to abuse this power. I wonder if it's going to lead to a revolution against corporations similar to the revolutions we got against monarchs.
I think calling anyone defending Musk at any level a “cheerleader” isn’t a helpful framing of the debate.

It’s important not to make any issue an “I align with X so you’re against me” conflict.

Musk has achieved great, incredible things. That’s just indisputable fact.

Musk is also behaving erratically, inconsistently, and seemingly also unethically over Twitter. And has done so in the past, eg in the dispute with the diver or against short sellers.

One aspect of Elon’s actions does not cancel the other out. We should celebrate the good and debate the bad.

I feel like this melodrama is driven by Musk’s detractors ready to pounce and dismiss, say, the development of reusable rockets, by Musk being petulant. That is not an argument that makes any sense.

And the same goes for any fans who think Musk’s incredible achievements give him permission to ban and censor those who annoy him.
I'd have to say that any small heat source might make this technology quite workable. Even conducting a bit of heat from your head to the glasses frame, to the lens coatings, perhaps?
Most banks, telcos, insurances, many private and government sectors are using it, and will keep using it for decades to come. The people who think otherwise don't have much experience in real world (TM) outside of startups and small shops.

I don't think that ie Postgres has immediate onsite 24/7 support globally, which is much more important for business than pure performance per dollar or similar metrics and they are happy to pay for it. Also trying to find top notch DBAs in Oracle vs Postgres gives, at least here in Switzerland, very different numbers of resources available.

Ie for banks its usually part of their core banking packages and performance-wise not much can replace that (but you need a small army of plsql experts to tame it, although there are plenty of those in the industry).
Well we certainly could do better, we're never be perfect on this. After all, paypa1.com is the same attack and doesn't even use unicode.
they can only do about 150 words at a time, so you'd struggle to get anything longform out of it. You can keep asking it over and over but then its liable to forget previous information. You'd do better with a prompt that repeatedly reminds the AI the style its going for and some basic information about the characters, but it's story would likely be quite cliche in many ways. It's something i've experimented with trying to get it to make DND adventure books
And the name implies there’s a connection. Which is problematic.
Hi, I really admire the skill you put at work on this project.
At the same time, I think everyone is overlooking how crucial and problematic the training factor is.

Why was stable diffusion able to generate spectrograms?
Because it was fed some.
Presumably, those original spectrograms were scraped with little concern over creators' permissions, just like it has been for artists' work in order to produce art-looking image generation.
Please, research what has been happening in the art community lately.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_w3MnCyDY

A protest on ArtStation has been shown to influence Midjourney's results, proving that huge amounts of proprietary work are constantly scraped without the creators' permission.
AIs like these work so well just because they steal and remix real artists' work in the first place. There are going to be legal wars about this.

Stable Diffusion doesn't have an official music generation Ai precisely because it couldn't train it with the same approach without being sued by music labels right away, while isolated artists don't have the same power.

So, back to my question: have you wondered whose work is Stable Diffusion remixing here?
Your endeavour is great technically, but as we progress into the future we have to be more aware of the ethical implications that come with different forms of progress.

You could try to base your project on a collection of free-to-use spectograms, and see how it performs. If you do, I think it could actually be very interesting and useful to discuss the results here on Hacker News.

Cheers!
You should probably reference that claim of doxing live location.
I did say "almost" every single language decision.

GC wasn't a failed experiment. OOP extremism was. And the latter is a bigger Java standout than GC.

Python predates Java and is still mainstream, and while (mostly) not garbage collected, but reference counted, language design wise it's not a big difference. There have been GCd Python implementations, proving that.

Being successful is not really a language design choice, so I wouldn't count that.

> The VM was another big one, and it also worked out.

As I explain in the blog post, the VM was a colossally bad mistake. The inspiration for the VM sounds like it was better. So looks like they took the ball and started running in the wrong direction.
I am not even sure how this is an actual position to be defended.

Writing anonymously or with pseudonyms is as old as feather pens. It allowed people to denounce tyrants and allowed women to publish their writings.

To force everyone to show an id to publish is either very naive or ill-intented to push us into a full Orwellian framework.

'Shitposting' or scorn writing is the price to pay so that anonymity is there for when you _truly_ need it.
It's just a little humor

It sounds like your 8 year old computer can't keep with today's technology. If it's possible, might I suggest upgrading your computer? A more modern system would let you run Electron apps without being irritatingly slow. It seems silly that I had to upgrade my laptop in order to run a text editor, but it seems that's just the world we live in.
That's very strange, when did you use it? And what config did you need? In our company there really isn't any config we mess around with, just download the language plug-ins and that's it. If someone wants to add more then that's fine but not required.
This effect isn't specific to traffic deaths as it can be seen with all non-COVID deaths in the unvaccinated, and is a result of incorrect use of statistics by health authorities. The actual reason is explained by Prof Norman Fenton here:

https://probabilityandlaw.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-impact-of...

The root cause is the conflation of unvaccinated and recently vaccinated. That is, health authorities will consider you unvaccinated for a period of time (weeks, sometimes months) after your shots because they believe that the vaccines don't work until that time has elapsed. This is an incorrect methodology and creates something called immortal time bias.

https://catalogofbias.org/biases/immortal-time-bias/

If you take your first/second shot and then die during the waiting period, you will be classed as an unvaccinated death. This creates a period of time in which those who make it through to become classed as vaccinated were effectively 'immortal'. By treating the data this way even injecting people with water would appear to have positive efficacy, although this bias fades with time.

Health authorities do this because the drug companies did it this way. The correct approach would have been to class people into three buckets: unvaccinated, vaccinated pending activation, fully vaccinated. They don't do this, perhaps because it would have had knock-on effects on everything else e.g. vaccine mandates would have needed policies for the pending activation block. It would also have led people to wonder about the biological basis for this waiting period and why it was so long, when people were being told the spike protein fully dissipates within 48 hours or less.
Do you have a more elegant solution to share?
