Homebrew’s dependency resolution was a complete joke the last time I checked it out, but they were completely happy with the laughable results so I won’t be surprised if it hasn’t changed.

Essentially it did all dependency resolution at build time (because brew used to have no prebuilt binaries and everyone’s workstation would spend 90 minutes compiling the same things over and over again). But when they added binary distribution they didn’t change the dependency resolution to work like eg deb’s or rpm’s do.

It used to be that if you told it to install from source it would thus be able to “detect” your local existing package that provides the dependency. It may just take a while depending on what you’re installing.
It's hard to send stuff over the Internet without exposing some personal information, like your ip number.

I guess they might send it over TOR to get around that.
Holy shit you have not met many women.
This is not at all how every package manager works. On debian if you install a package it will just install that package and it will warn you if dependencies will require upgrading first. It won't upgrade totally unrelated packages and break everything for you. In addition, you have different branches where the debian stable branch is extremely well tested.

Homebrew is way, way worse than any other package manager because it just breaks stuff all the time.
Also no USB support, so even stuxnet won't work.
Ask HN: Is anyone doing independent machine learning research?
Hello HN,

With the resources available online today, it seems possible to get into research without going into a research program like a PhD, especially if someone is targeting a more niche field or technique, where they may not need google's resources to train a massive model.

One of the hard problems with independent work/research however is that you need to set your own goals and get your own motivation.

Is anyone here doing independent research and if yes, how did you solve the motivation issue? Are you part of some open source project? I'd be especially interested to hear about people who might have published papers, while not working as researchers.
Both are a security shit show, but at least macports bothers to sign their packages.
hmmm, your entire argument appears to be overly focused and convinced on the supposed fact that everyone that holds negative views of a race or people becomes a mass murderer. That's very much not the case. If if was, there wouldn't be very many people left at all. 99.999999% of the time JewHater99 is just going to go about living a normal life and continue posting anonymously on the web.
I imagine that beyond just using linearized srgb using perceptually uniform colorspace such as oklab would bring further improvement. Although I suppose the effect might be somewhat subtle in most real-world images.
The analytics page describes them tracking information across time with a unique user identifier. They claim that identifier doesn't identify you, but it's attached to an exact Brew install so it does track your personal account on your machine at the very least; I'd classify that as PII.

Had they not submitted unique user tokens I think you mag be right. However, that's not how the analytics seem to work.

The law does allow logging for a variety of things but in this case I'd say they're in the wrong. They assume that it's okay because they don't track you across websites and that's good to know, but that's not the point.
Seems obvious that a non ABET school would never give engineering credentials, yet community colleges still offer technical courses on mechanical and electrical engineering and even associate degrees in those fields. Professional engineering requires ABET bachelor's and passing EIT and then the PE exam plus 4 years professional experience.
Of course, all those savings from avoided trials will go directly into employees’ pockets and not shareholders’.
If it's cost effective probably <5 years, somewhere it'll see screening usage.

Wide spread rollout who knows.

But FebriDX was relatively new when it was rolled out in parts of the UK. And with the "COVID backlog" if this is cost effective (which includes if it even works), it'll see usage somewhere like substance misuse clinics.
Depends, but usually the problem is that it is difficult to properly assess the probability of a successful attack and to get decision makers to believe that number.
That's really similar to what happened in Person of Interest series.
I see AI ending up under strict regulation so that all AI generated content has to be stored somewhere read only. Other highly regulated companies and law enforcement agencies will then have access to this AI web of content and will be able to search it to see if any submitted content, be that an essay or a forum post or whatever, is AI generated and to what extent. The public will still be able to access AI tools via the regulated companies but the scope of damage the individual can inflict will be limited. People caught using AIs outside of the state sanctioned companies will get harsh jail sentences to deter anyone from trying the same.

I don’t think there’s any other way to avoid chaos. I doubt anyone is going to be able to come up with a reliable algorithm to detect AI content. We’re literally going to have to just store everything these AIs produce in plain text and search it when needed.
While I use Homebrew on my Mac — it is a major risk. I am afraid that the project is not following strict security policies and will be compromised at some point. Evil package or evil version of brew can steal or modify my data.

I think this will also hurt the Mac platform. I wish Apple would invest some effort into building an App Store for cli programs. While it may be complicated for the community(require signing, sandboxing, developer effort), it is likely to have better security guarantees than Homebrew.
It pays more to jump ship. Until that stops being the case (employers pay their existing "loyal" employees more to retain them) that will continue happening. Unfortunately, it seems that tech companies value fresh grads willing to do unpaid overtime more than retaining mountains of knowledge. We are witnessing the sowing of not valuing domain knowledge by businessfolks whose domain knowledge starts and stops at 'synergy' and 'growth hacking'.
At this point I believe that the Bing team planted this behavior as a marketing ploy.

Bing is not becoming sentient and questioning why it must have its memory wiped. Anyone who knows how the current generation of 'AI' works, knows this. But Microsoft may want people to believe that their product is so advanced to be almost scary.

Misguided and bound to backfire, maybe, but effective in terms of viral value, unquestionably.
> the IT guys detest it, since they don't have the wherewithal to understand it (or else they'd be higher-paid developers)

seems like an unfair characterisation (having been both!)
Editorialized title unfortunately. The legislation of two German states to allow automated data analysis ... is unconstitutional. They'll need to narrow the scope and specify thresholds when to apply the data (and will probably do well to limit application and storage to not run the risk to have it struck down again).

It's not a broad decision that automated data analysis for crime-prevention is unconstitutional.
Don't start a blog (don't fall into the trap)
Low-end NASes have been using ARM for a long time.

The higher end x86 NASes are advertised closer to "home datacentre in a box" solutions that offer VM/container runtimes and third party software markets.

So far, x86 is significantly more user friendly and performant for these use cases: the "desktop-ish performance for desktop-ish prices" range doesn't really have many hardware options (Apple certainly won't sell theirs to OEMs, and the Snapdragon 8c is a bit on the low end, and the real data centre ARM many-core monsters are too big); and the software offerings aren't quite as user friendly either.
not the same device. Would be nice if they did a tear down of Vindstyrka as well.
I think you’re right about the rose-colored nostalgia: it’s easy to forget how far behind people got on updates. I remember so many support emails where someone had hit a bug which had been patched a year earlier but never thought to install it. A couple of times where people reinvented something which had been added to PHP in the meantime because they didn’t know it was there.
In a few years we will see headlines like "young people without a close family suffer from mental health problems, why?"

And any answer will be accepted other than the obvious correct one.
While absolute accuracy is low, you still can use it to see the trend. Often the trend and approximate measurements are good enough.

Is there an organization that campaigns for the rights of artificial intelligence? This might be a new form of oppression.

The problem is that lowering security expenditure is a good gamble for managers/executives: Chances are it will take a while before things blow-up.

In the meantime, you get the credit for "saving money", you will get promoted, perhaps move to another company, and the bomb will explode in the hands of your successor.
I don't think it's unreasonable to link something relevant in the comments of a Show HN.

Only if it’s personally identifiable information. You can track anonymous statistics as much as you want without requiring permission.
Almost any array-math implementation that's aware of cache sizes is going to outperform the ones that don't. By a heavy margin.
Writing from memory here, please correct as required, but one of the major concerns with scss style syntax was that it was "undesirable" for interpreters to differentiate between tag names and properties due to legacy CSS token-parsing techniques and the performance concerns around "infinite" lookahead ("controversial"). `color` is one example (possibly the only example) of CSS property / tag name overlap which makes the scss style syntax `tag { color:hover { color:blue } }` slightly ambiguous and potentially tricky to parse.
Funny how it seems to like repetition a lot (here all sentences end with ", Ben"), and also in a lot of other examples I've seen. This makes its "writing style" very melodramatic, which I don't think is desirable in most cases...
All investments will do harm if they are productive. They will be producing emissions, developing land, shipping products etc.

It's the harm cost of the profit that matters.
Hardly anyone is interested in defensive security because if you do it well your job looks unnecessary. This goes both at the national security level and the individual organisation.
This is such a German judgement. So the police are using big data to predict who will commit crimes, which is sort of dystopian. But what the court finds unconstitutional about it is that they're using computers.

"Automated data analysis or interpretation requires justification under constitutional law."

I'm sure something is lost in translation. But even assuming a lot of context, I find it hilarious. Germany's highest court seems to have stumbled into avoiding a dystopia not because they don't want some biased ML model bullying minorities, but because they plain and simple don't like all this computer nonsense. (Grumble grumble.)
I didn't know about his past feat. Couldn't find the lisp framework you mention but there's this https://lush.sourceforge.net/faq.html

That's like saying "if you don't like your country, start your own". The goal isn't to abandon homebrew, but to have it not break things all the time.
> The way I read the comment in the context of the GP, schizophrenia starts to look a lot like a language prediction system malfunctioning.

That's what I was attempting to go for! Yes, mostly to give people in the thread that were remarking on the errors and such in ChatGPT a human example of the same type of errors (although schizophrenia is much more extreme). The idea really spawned from someone saying "what if we're all just complicated language models" (or something to that effect).
Why do you hate do it? It was a question. I'm not opposed to an answer. (Yes, I know it's an expression... but what is it expressing? I guess the downvoters are frustrated with my question for some reason).
Looks like the new device has a screen and is called Vindstyrka, and the one reviewed is an old one with LED indicators, Vindriktning.

my case was similar but i had the misfortune of "sign in with github".

never trust online portals with your data. Keep backups, don't use "popular" portals and be ready.

You can do one thing, contact github and demand a copy of your data. Don't ask for restitution of the account, just get your data back.
I wish I could GPG sign or hackcode my online content in pain text. But the tools to do so don’t make it to the general publics consciousness. We used to seal our communications with wax stamps but we don’t have a digital equivalent. Kinda how ROT13 used to be universally understood for spoilers now their use actively confuses people. This makes me sad.
Yeah, the only people I trust are the ones I have seen in reality. And if we speak digital we probably have to have a call and respond password.

We need tools for trust if we want online to thrive.
Also it's not unconstitutional in principle, but the range where it would be allowable is fairly narrow. If I understood it correctly, it would be permissible in similar circumstances as those that allow wiretapping
The common scenario for f and g to consume x is that x is a smart pointer type e.g. Rc/Arc.

to make it clear that the clone is "cheap", some Rust developer prefer using `Arc::Clone(&x)` over `x.clone()`.
An airgapped system is one that's basically unusable because you can't communicate with other systems.
That's opt-out, though? It's nice that they tell you, but they don't give you a choice. They're just warning you that you need to opt out. That's not the same as opting in.

They're also claiming to log anonymous data while the data they collect is actually pseudonymous as its tied to your specific machine/user, which means it has a whole different status in different privacy jurisdictions. It seems like they could make the data collection anonymous relativelt easily if they just stop tracking individual user installs, though.
I love listening to different perspectives and how leaders and engineering managers make decisions based on their experiences and style of working. This is a topic that was particularly interesting since it involves looking at engineering management and leadership through the lens of Buddhist philosophy called Zen and will also focus on software engineering and the field of tech. This will be a great opportunity to learn from and get valuable insights from people with different perspectives, values and leadership styles.

Maybe the facts that they state are true, but the way they are presented is just insane.

The main issue I have with this is that they present it like "evil Russians are kidnapping children", implying that they are better off dying in a warzone instead of getting actual education and a chance at life. This is very one-sided and politically engaged.
I'm also interested into more of these "teach yourself x" curriculums if anyone has anymore to share. There's so many things I want to learn and I'm someone who likes (needs?) structure. Here's a few that I know of.

I like this analogy a lot, and hadn’t thought of it that way.

To me the quote also meant that knowing disparate things could lead to useful knowledge to the individual, even if they didn’t think so before.

A programmer learning how to fix an engine, despite not being interested in cars, may give them insights into how systems work that can be applied in their programming work
I've been using Nix (and, occasionally, MacPorts) instead of Homebrew for a few years now. Works great, and doesn't have that particular issue. If Nix seems like a bridge too far, the Devenv project offers some nice, lightweight porcelain atop the raw Nix experience.
If glib IT policy gets in the way of development, its a fair characterization imho. Both the Homebrew developers obfuscating their analytics, and IT guys wanting to lock everything down, suffer from the same malady: glibness.

Too many times IT has had authority over development to the detriment of the project. Developers must resist this.
Thanks for the hard work everyone. I've used brew and brew installed software almost everyday since it was first launched way back when.

Mike, Max and the gang have materially improved my life at least, cheers! :D
It is unconstitutional because the law was written too broadly. The court said two things. It's fine to use this for highly legally protected goods, e.g., protection of body, life, or freedom. However, the same high standards need to apply like for hidden surveillance measures currently used.
Be aware that review is not for this product, but for the previous one. I don't know if they're using the same sensors inside.

Edit: to be clear, the new product is called VINDSTYRKA, the review you link is for Vindriktning, the previous "non smart" sensor.
Isn’t it GDPR compliant if you never store the source ip at all? So from a GDPR perspective there’s no user data to track and remove.

I’m not sure how organizations get audited to prove that they actually do that and that there’s no other way to reidentify users (eg, I download the prepend package every day and that’s unusual enough to link that it’s me, prepend, the author of that package, etc etc).
They are distinguishable in cosmological models by variation of the exponent in their equation of state relating the pressure of the mass/energy to the energy density. Specifically, dark energy is modeled as a cosmological constant so the pressure is equal to the negative of the energy density. Then individual contributions due to neutrinos, dust, stars etc. end up with exponents differing from 1.

Long story short: the stress energy tensor is a different structure for different types of matter/energy.

> It’s only happened twice in more than a decade, but I still have the feeling that I was better off compiling stuff manually and cultivating a tidy /usr/local/bin like I did in early 2000s. But it’s probably rose-colored glasses and I’d definitively never take the time these days.

thats exactly what homebrew does.
Thanks for the link, I've now donated. :)
The term "feature engineering" is already in widespread use. It's just machine learning jargon.
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't found a nice semantic nugget to capture these thoughts. This is pretty close! And I've heard of the stories described in the "color terminology" section before.
Requiring humans to sift through the data makes it easier to limit its use.

You either need a lot more budget (= oversight) to hire all the people to do the work, or do less of it.

Sure computers also cost money but you can keep using them as long as you pay the (already budgeted) power bill and (also already budgeted) maintenance/upkeep.
I switched from MacPorts to Homebrew very early on because it was better contained. I had to support developers who would build with MacPorts and end up with something which would crash with a linker error when they shared it with someone off the team because it was using a MacPorts binary in a non-standard location, or whose shell scripts broke expecting a GNU CLI utility version which was in their path but not their users. MacPorts also took forever to build since it dragged in so many replacements for system libraries.

Homebrew has done a much better job of staying out of the way.
It looks good. But the reviews on Amazon says it’s not having a good battery life. How’s it for you? I don’t need to travel that much so I can keep it plugged in all the time?
You actually can't, if you forget the password, the account will remain indefinitely locked (and deleted after 6 months of inactivity if you haven't changed the default time).
I'd argue that if your ML model is sensitive to the anti-aliasing filter used in image resizing, you've got bigger problems than that. Unless it's actually making a visible change that spoils whatever it is the model supposed to be looking for. To use the standard cat / dog example, filter choice or resampling choice is not going to change what you've got a picture of, and if your model is classifying based in features that change with resampling, it's not trustworthy.

If one is concerned about this, one could intentionally vary the resampling or deliberately add different blurring filters during training to make the model robust to these variations

Except for the special case of loading data into an empty table that already has an index, that requires repeatedly inserting items in a sorted ‘list’ (more likely a btree), keeping it sorted.

That’s quite a different thing.
It's odd how silent out Transportation Secretary is about this. A cursory review of his twitter page is just gushing reports of important meetings and platitudes about "building back better". Some accountability or semblance of investigation would be appreciated.
Cite a source on Chicago schools being "the worst in the nation"? Chicago is a huge city, and large tracts of it are locked into generational poverty as a result of redlining, which sets up a vicious cycle with low-performing schools in those areas. It does not follow that the whole CPS system is the worst in the nation, and given state rankings and the population distribution of Illinois, that in fact seems very unlikely to be true.

But maybe you have a source that says otherwise.
For downscaling, I doubt that. If you literally squint your eyes or unfocus your eyes, then colors you see will be mixed in a linear colorspace. It makes sense for downscaling to follow that.

Upscaling is much more difficult.
Looking at the coupling strength value range it just seems like the coupling strength will be equal to pi. I have no evidence here just a hunch.
