Why was a question make added to the submission here? It makes it look like a (incorrectly written) question about a thing that happened, rather than… whatever it is, speculation I guess.
Well, someone did it. If somebody knows who, they are not telling.

Without sources, everything is specilation at best, consiracy theory BS or propaganda at worst. Personally, I don't even believe half of what is reported with connection to the war in Ukraine.
As this is HN, all trendy systems languages must be mentioned so here I go:

Jokes aside, I think these are the types of errors I assume Carbon would be well suited to prevent and justify why Carbon is a great idea.

Yes the code is C technically not C++, but the issue remains that it isn’t forced to be safer. The goal of languages like Carbon is to force these things in those large C++ repos.
Don't know what your domain is, but most experienced devs in most of the domains I work in turn off those assertions because they slow the absolute hell out of debug builds.

Like yes, debug builds are naturally slower, but there's slow and there's unbearable, and MSVC's debug checks are simply unbearable.

GCC/clang both have a set of reasonable assertions that don't impact performance too much, so if possible I use those to do my testing.
Run the Windows update checker manually on a periodic basis, same as you would on a Linux server, and you will never be caught by forced reboots or patches being downloaded at inconvenient times.
What if they all did it as some sort of gentleman’s agreement
Nope, I thought "yikes, I am happy that I use Firefox".

I'm trying to read more; as in actual books. I've been spending at least an hour a day going for a nice long walk. Studying another language and doing at least one hour a day with a teacher. Work on a side project. Go explore the city.

Show HN: I made a dashboard tool that doesn't query but receives data from API
Hello HN. This is my second attempt to build a data visualization product in 2 years.

Why I build this: I often find myself in a dilemma when I need to plot something: do I need a full-blown BI system or do I want to build from scratch using UI libraries?

The tradeoffs between the two options come down to the scale of the problem and the time and money you want to spend on it. Therefore I’m trying to build something in the middle to hit my sweet spot.

For many years one of my routines is combining ElasticSearch + Grafana(Superset) + data ingestion in JSON format. Now I use Pushboard to replace it.

The core concept of Pushboard is a data dashboard/BI tool minus query capability. As the name and the title suggest, the only way to provide data is to push data through the API.

I find it handy since I can use Pushboard without needing to worry about the compatibility between frontend and backend. It opens a door to many different data formats like CSV, parquet and so on. Obviously, the catch is I always have to transform data to JSON. On the other hand, if I decide to build a custom dashboard to work with a random backend, at least I don’t have to write the UI code.

The entire thing is built on top of react, tailwind, echarts, django and a few other great libraries. Unfortunately, it is not open sourced at this moment. If you really want to try it out locally, I’ve uploaded it to dockerhub.

It is free to try at https://pushboard.io/ with some paid options.

Please feel free to let me know if you like it or not, or have any idea and feedback, leave a comment below or send via https://pushboard.io/Contact/Contact
1Password removed its application from Apple’s App Stores in France
Because I've read that 'book' [1] for the Iraq War. The evidence for the mobile weapons laboratories was completely fabricated - they were pictures of weather balloon trucks. The 'high level insider' testimony came from a taxi driver who was just randomly making stuff up, and most of the intelligence community knew was just a compulsive liar. Nonetheless, his assertions made their way into no less than 112 governmental reports from January 2000 to September 2001 - and would be used to justify the war.

And it just continues on endlessly. Every bit of evidence, no matter how flimsy or obviously false, made its way through the proper channels - so long as it supported the desired narrative. This is not something that can be dismissed as incompetence even if you hold our intelligence community to an abysmal standard. And I see no reason to think that this has changed.

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_weapons_laboratory
This is a big challenge, and I applaud them for taking it. There is no information about how they intend to do this, which is fair since they're just getting started.

How would you attempt this? Moderation is hard and labour-intensive. I moderated a community for a while, and I hated it. It was a lot of unrewarding work, and the reward was mostly indifference, with bouts of stalking and harassment.

I can't imagine it being any easier when inviting the average Joe to discuss politics.
I've been trying out this organizational method for about 2 months now. tl;dr - everything falls into a Project.Area.Resource.Archive (sub)folder and the ideal is to rotate things through as soon as they're finished to Archives where you can ~forget about them. What I appreciate about it is how its recursive, so you can organize individual projects according to the PARA rules.

I agree with the author that its difficult to decide between Areas and Projects and appreciate his take that all Projects belong to an Area - insightful. One of the changes I've made to the system is to refer to Resources instead as Records. I like to take daily notes and keep to-do lists, summarize/link articles etc which usually have some type of temporal resolution and may not always fit in a specific project/area. So far I like it better than my old method of categorizing things by date and type and it meshes well with my fairly simple Obsidian environment.
I mean, ChatGPT also lies very confidently; it's not like this is a Google-specific problem. Generative AI, perhaps, just isn't as useful as people seem to think.
Maybe it's because I see a distinction between "dismiss" and "deny". Where someone might dismiss ("There is no evidence to back up these claims") there are instead denials ("They made this up"). Anyway, I don't mean to change your mind, just to provide a different perspective.
Bing (Yes, Bing) Just Made Search Interesting Again
I think adults forget how much time and opportunities they frittered away. Heaven knows I've done that through my teens, twenties, and even some of my thirties.

Live and learn.
Some of the tools which have helped me rediscover my focus and discipline:

* Use the CLI for everything - reduce the amount of time you have a browser open

* An egg timer - use this every time a tedious task needs completing

* A dumb phone - small and minimal functionality, easy to forget about

* A watch - stop using your phone for checking the time

* Cook your own food - excellent use of time

* Exercise - no headphones, a gym provides background music and enough human contact to keep boredom at bay

* Long-form media - books, films, music

* Return to things you know you like - 'it is better to know one book intimately than to have read one hundred'
Try using Jupyter Notebooks or another notebook based programming environment. Good way to change things up and very enjoyable to use :-)
It's worth noting, that the vectorized query execution, and many algorithms in Apache Doris are adopted from ClickHouse - the leading OLAP DBMS: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fdoris%20clickhou...

And it is totally alright because they give proper attributions in the code, and they notified me directly about the proper way of this usage.

It is much better than the other forks of Apache Doris, which are promoted independently and don't give credit.
What is K8s Monitoring, and best practices
Great overview on what K8S Monitoring/Observability means and some of the best practices.
Objective-C has a really nice decimal math library. Last I looked (it’s been a while), Swift didn’t. It might have one by now.

Years ago, I had a few apps in the App Store that made extensive use of it. It really was very nice to work with.
Yep it sucks. I think it is more insidious than other time wasters because we can pretend it is productive.
Go on. Link some examples.
I'm surprised to not see Pascal's quote in this list:

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone"

...but maybe that better sums up OP's issue rather than a solution.

Either way you'll need to take steps to make it harder to do the things you're currently doing (e.g. get a dumb phone, set up a firewall rule to block these sites, set a timer) but there might be a deeper underlying issue of having nothing better to do.

Perhaps making other aspects of your life more difficult will eat up this idle time while also providing more fulfillment. I've personally found that riding a bike to get food at some place farther away (as opposed to eating at home, ordering food, or just driving somewhere) is an excellent way to detach digitally, get some exercise, and force yourself to see new parts of your town/city. Obviously this doesn't work for everyone but the gist of this is to force yourself to take time to do something unexpected and difficult and find your reward in that instead of reading every HN thread, checking every email, and responding to all the memes your friends send.
Can we stop with the term "public-owned"? These aren't publicly traded companies (that anyone from the public can buy a stake into) but state-owned and operated broadcasters.

Now, as to their objectives, I have no faith that these state media can or will be able to create spaces where the first amendment is preserved considering their poor track-record in the matter. [0]

ZDF is not a government broadcaster. It's paid for by the TV tax, which is also not managed by the German government.

Microsoft’s next-gen Bing uses a much more powerful language model than ChatGPT
I wouldn't mind for opt-out telemetry as long as it is *really* open-source and focused on Go itself and not "how developers are using their system with Go installed on it".
> As far as I understand the elastic license I cannot create a SAAS product that includes this and then create a company selling that saas product to 1000s of paying clients.

Yes, you can. You're not providing Nango as a managed service; you're providing your SaaS as a managed service, which uses Nango for some things. But as long as your customers can't access a sizeable portion of Nango *for purposes outside your SaaS*, you're fine.

IANAL.
Something to consider is that many European countries aggressively track students in conjunction with that free/cheap college. As a consequence, failing during early education can put them onto the vocational track much earlier than you’d see for a U.S. student.
For some forms, but Acrobat is slow and filled with security holes so who cares?
Whenever I try I get 500 error :/
If it takes even 10% of search volume (in its current technological form) then those of us working in this domain have failed, miserably.

I have no idea what Microsoft is thinking. It's like a state hiring a known liar to be its star witness in some notable number of court cases.

[ EDIT: OK, so one thing they might be thinking is to just this sort of technology to generate readable/listenable summaries of search results obtained by other means. I can see much less wrong with that, but it's also not really the same technology at all as ChatGPT et al. ]
IEEE 754-2008 combined the IEEE 754 with the IEEE 854 decimal float standard, so hence any post-2008 IEEE 754 version also contains decimal float (and IEEE 854 has been withdrawn).

But like the parent poster noted, hardware tends to not actually implement the decimal float parts (I mean, IEEE 754 doesn't care about how calculations are made or how fast they are, so a software emulation is perfectly acceptable from the standard perspective). I think IBM POWER has one of the rare HW implementations of decimal floats.
Because it's interesting. Hersh reporting on it is an interesting story in its own right. Is what he says true? I have no idea. We don't have a truth meter here.
> The new "Public Spaces Incubator" (PSI) initiative will develop and test innovative solutions that encourage accessible and meaningful online conversations on issues of public interest, free from harassment or bullying — inclusive exchanges that will reflect diverse viewpoints and promote greater empathy and understanding, without suppressing perspectives or ideas.

This is a nothingburger. Some organizations parasitizing various tax bases to reach a vanishingly small set of viewers intends to investigate the possibility of potentially looking into building some crappy websites that don't meaningfully differ from any number of censored comment sections that already exist.
I think a large part of the problem we have today is lack of attribution. It is too easy for participants to pretend to be 1000 voices instead of a single voice. I don't think being able to pretend to be multiple people is particularly helpful to the "marketplace of ideas". Conversely if I see/hear the same sentiment a 1000 times and can distinguish between "1000 voices" and "one voice a thousand times" then that is useful for me determining how much weight to give to those ideas when forming my own ideas.

The other nice aspect of attribution is that there is a factual answer to "who is speaking". I don't need to evaluate the merits to your speech in order to understand who is speaking. In today's world it may not be easy/possible to know the specific answer to "who is speaking", but by observing any speech I know that there must have been _someone_ speaking.

As for how to get to a world with attribution... not so sure what the options are that don't suffer a lot of the same problems. But it at least seems like an approach that doesn't require authoritative assessment of the underlying speech itself to yield societal benefits.
There are roughly 26.9 million software jobs in the world right now and the long term trend is still growing. 100k layoffs is .3%

That’s not good enough.

No level of reputation or historical track record should exempt anyone from the basic responsibility of providing evidence for claims they make.
Agreed. One of those situations where everyone wants to blame everyone else for a "terrible" thing that happened, but at the same time don't really GAF because all sides were okay with finalizing a clean break between Europe and Russia for a variety of domestic and IR reasons anyways.
I almost hate to ask, but are these makeup or clothing tutorials?
I'm reading Deep Work by Cal Newport at the moment. It touches on this issue directly and offers up a lot of concrete suggestions.

At the moment I'm "stepping down" from my addictions. I created a Tampermonkey script which blocks Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, Coingecko (crypto charts) and porn M-F. I still have HackerNews, Twitch, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Discord fully accessible, but this is just my first couple of weeks at it. I'm going to keep tightening them down and defining smaller windows with fewer tools until I actually look forward to the limited time I have to interface with them.

There are a LOT of suggestions throughout the book and they are quite compelling. Planning your day, reflecting on your values, creating pro/con lists of what you want to achieve in life versus the benefits these tools provide, reflecting on what sort of lifestyle you need to live for personal success. Could you thrive with a fully monastic lifestyle like Neal Stephenson or Donald Knuth? Or perhaps your lifestyle would better off being cyclical on a quarterly basis? Or perhaps you can only afford to weave deep work in for hours each day, sporadically, more like a reporter or journalist. Depending on your lifestyle your strategy for committing to deep work will vary.

I'd give it a read/listen and see what you think!
From the article verbatim:

> “Today, at a press event in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft announced its long-rumored integration of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model into Bing, providing a ChatGPT-like experience within the search engine.”

And here’s another source stating it’s GPT-4 as well:

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3687220/microsoft-bing...

Even Microsoft’s own press release states, “Next-generation OpenAI model. We’re excited to announce the new Bing is running on a new, next-generation OpenAI large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT and customized specifically for search. It takes key learnings and advancements from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5 – and it is even faster, more accurate and more capable.”

For the next-generation model to “ChatGPT and customized specifically for search. It takes key learnings and advancements from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5” — it by definition cannot be either OpenAI’s ChatGPT or GPT-3.5 model.
You can't just baselessly analogize an algorithm to what goes on in the human mind and call it a legal argument. That's not going to fly at all.
Why don't we just properly view the gas reductions for what they are - a form of sanctioning?
Why even question Hersh on this when Biden publicly admitted they would put an end to it?

School, homework, and sports. But what is he missing? Are you saying there is zero time for
- hanging out with friends
- going on outings with the family (skiing or to the movies)
- self-directed activities - walking, photography, church groups, getting a job

?

If you're saying there's ZERO time for those things, I find it hard to believe. Weekends there is no school. The days are not consumed with training and homework, I guess.

When I was in HS, my mother strongly encouraged me to engage in competitive sports to keep me away from the neighborhood crew. Most days that meant a 530am alarm clock, 615am in the pool, and after-school workouts too. So more like 3.5 hrs daily. Then a nap before dinner, then homework. Keeping busy with structured activities kept me out of trouble. The control group, my brother, got in lots more trouble than I did.

I had time for friends and self-directed activities, especially off season.
This is helpful. Thank you.

> I’m skeptical that biological systems will ever serve as a basis for ML nets in practice

There is no fundamental difference between information processing systems implemented in silico vs in vivo, except architecture. Architecture is what constrains the manifold of internal representations: this is called "inductive bias" in the field of machine learning. The math (technically, the non-equilibrium statistical physics crossed with information theory) is fundamentally the same.

Everything at the functionalist level follows from architecture; what enables these functions is the universal principles of information processing per se. "It worked because it worked" because there is no other way for it to work given the initial conditions of our neighborhood in the universe. I'm not saying "Everything ends up looking like a brain". Rather, I am saying "The brain, attendant nervous and sensory systems, etc. vs neural networks implemented as nonlinear functions are running the same instructions on different hardware, thus resulting in different algorithms."

The way I like to put it is: trust Nature's engineers, they've been at it much longer than any of us have.
Oh that's interesting. I just assumed. Sorry! So who collects the tax?
I think Google purged itself of goatse picks. A plus for not showing gross stuff, but a negative for removing an early internet meme.

It’s funny that derived memes still exist even though the original is unavailable.
Interesting. Is there a way to run it?

One of the challenges with work like this is that you have to figure out how to get output from it. What would the output be?

As far as my objection, it seems like an optimization, not an architecture inspired by the worm. I.e. “inspired by” makes it sound like this particular optimization was derived from studying the worm’s neural networks and translating it into code, when it was the other way around. But it would be fascinating if that wasn’t the case.
Just use "Pause updates for X days".

Install updates once a month and Windows does not have to do it "randomly".
Is there a reason some sort of check wasn’t added to pop_back() implementation?

Seems like it would be easy to implement and undefined behavior is not something that backwards compatibility forces you to keep.
Oh! That's what the whooshing sound over my head was!
Kremlin sanctioned themselves? Or are you presenting the suspension of gas supplies to Europe by Russia as a sort of “retaliatory sanctions”? That’s fine of course, it’s like North Korea cutting off themselves from the world and starving as a way to punish the world for interfering in its internal matters as they relate to nuclear weapons.
Please be precise. Who, exactly, are you alleging blew up the pipeline in order to declare war on whom? And then the elephant in the room: nobody declared war on anybody in the wake of this, so how is the possible justification for a war that did not happen being used as evidence that this event was designed to incite a war?
You don't need to upgrade every two years. This is why:

1) There are only a few standards that changed. You didn't need to upgrade unless you bought a low-end device first and then upgraded to a high end for more speed on the same standard.

2) You need to also upgrade the clients to support the new standard. If you didn't upgrade the clients, the new router was a waste.

3) Speed differences are significat on paper, but not so much in real life.

- 802.11b = you can have SD video streaming with this link

- 802.11g = you can have 1080p video streaming.

- 802.11n = enough for UHD videos.

Between b and n, speed increase is ~10 times, but the ethernet was always at least 10 times faster than any wifi and with a *reliable* connection. So if you are using wifi for heavy data transfers other than live video on a *mobile device*, then you're doing it wrong.
DMCA took down file sharing networks. Pointing to legitimate fair uses as examples of why you are right is confused.
