The problem is that often there isn’t even an easy way to give back sure there are donations but ironically for a non person entity making donation payments like this isn’t something that is possible because laws often don’t account for this model as the projects are often not registered charities or other statutory non for profit organizations.

When a company makes a payment to an individual or an incorporated entity that is not a donation. It’s very difficult to near impossible to even properly classify them which means you are at very serious risk of violating either employment laws or tax laws or both.

And a lot of projects that have a restrictive license don’t dual license or do it properly and don’t really support commercial channels.

So whilst it’s easy to blame freeloaders more often than not the project maintainers are at fault.
Yeah the K&R, while being a masterpiece of clarity and conciseness, is severely outdated in many important ways.

I wish there was some effort to create a modern version while preserving the clarity and conciseness of Kernighan and Ritchie.

Designated initializers in particular are extremely useful. I once halted a factory line for days because of a mistake they would have avoided.
Ask HN: Is academia dead regarding LLMs?
I find it astounding that the only entities apparently engaging in effective research on LLMs are tech firms such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. While access to GPU resources and data certainly plays a significant role, it is strange to me that universities and public research institutions seem to lack both despite having large budgets. Why aren't students conducting research on GPU clusters at universities with public datasets? Why does it seem that all the interesting results come from the industry and remain behind closed doors?
Is the random logouts a known issue internally? I have also experienced this.
The main thing I notice is searching for an app in the search menu takes a long time. Opening apps also takes several seconds, and the phone will often get very hot just from normal use, like the CPU is being pegged just trying to run iOS.

Some have said freeing up space on their iPhone fixes it, but I have not had success with that.
In other words, the title is a statistical misdirection, and a deliberate one.
To be fair: I grew up on Dahl and looked forward to reading his books to my kids. I have cringed and WTF'd quite a bit reading them aloud and ultimately ended up altering it some extemporaneously. He really can be pretty damn extra in some passages.

I sincerely doubt any value was lost in any of these edits the publishers have made.
It can do basic rails stuff. But I do wonder what options there are to train it on your codebase for even a small project so it can just know what files to edit and that to name things.
I think that is a flawed way of looking at it. Stuff like SELinux assumes the system administrator or software can't be trusted, and provides ways to protect against future attacks while enforcing only the minimal access needed.

It isn't letting programmers off the hook, and isn't an alternate approach.

Unless you can be absolutely certain of the code you are running, which no one really can, then it's the better approach.
Even Windows is now rolling out an update that removes IE from systems and replaces it with Edge.

Suffice it to say this problem doesn't require a government solution.
I'd never heard of Coolify, but it looks like what I've been searching for, i.e. an all-in-one solution for hosting stuff on a VPS (or Pi). But the docs [1] say it requires a minimum of 30 GB of disk space.

Does anyone know if that is accurate? What could possibly be taking up that 30 GB if all I want to do is host a static site and maybe Deno or Node? I'm fairly certain I set something similar up in the past on a much smaller MicroSD card...

module could have helped, but unfortunately you still need to predeclare everything, and it doesn't support cyclic references, they built modules on top of decades of dated architecture, that was a mistake, they should have took the opportunity to do better to be future proof
Call it conjecture, but I bet this guy would question your preference for oat milk also.
If they nail this technology and can produce it in a sustainable way, I don’t see why meat eaters wouldn’t flock to it. Imagine being able to just grow A5 Wagyu and get it right every single time (or whatever prime cut you prefer).
The government distortion of the market via tax policy made it much harder to select health insurance providers based on their merits. Noting this makes it inaccurate to assign blame for such failing on the free market.
I think the metric you’re looking for is bugs per line not raw total bugs. Bugger programs have more bugs is trivially true if all programs had the same rate of bugs per line.

Yet again, local government succeeds where national government fails.
This uses a government ID for the actual identity and most of the "verification". I'm not sure what more you're looking for? Facebook can't use zKP because existing government IDs don't support that.

And there is no OS in this case, it's a product feature for Facebook that allows users of Facebook to be told that Facebook verified the account's government ID.
There's a lack of awareness too - I saw three orthopedic surgeons and one neurologist and none asked me about, mentioned, or tested me for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (which is likely what you had based on what fixed your symptoms). I only learned about TOS myself after they ruled out Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and going back to Google to try to find what could be causing CTS symptoms other than CTS.
I'd agree that attempts at such gestures are a calculated risk, and when they backfire the result is worse than doing nothing. But I expect it's at least possible to sell it hard enough that you win over most of the people most of the time.
I doubt profit hungry capitalists are your main concern, but your average struggling startup or entrepreneur.

At a startup I worked for we spent about £10,000 just on our brand and website design. That was a big chunk of our budget and I'm genuinely not sure that would be needed anymore. I think I could probably prompt AI to design a site and logo roughly as good.
I'm planning on a similar setup and avoid exposing the network directly. Didn't have time to do that yet but I'll look into that this week!

Or more to the point. In humans, our thoughts arise on their own. We don't think about what we are going to think about. The thoughts just appear. We are going through the day processing stimuli and reacting, thoughts popping into our head and leading us along. Our brain is just on a game loop, processing events. Except in biological humans, instead of math, it's calcium ions and potentials. Just an analog computer.

So lets say in current models', or future, in very large neural nets, that there will not be some internal subjective awareness, just like we have. We've mapped the entire neural network/nervous system, of a nematode worm and translated it into software. The 'software worm' appears to behaves the same as the real worm, so what is that software experiencing?
There should be none of those things.

Fuck that.
To me it seems like the author is saying “An important decision is a nonlinear one, where a nonlinear decision is one that might have a big impacts.”

So this whole post boils down to something like: “only debate decisions that might have big impacts.” I don’t really see what’s interesting about that idea.

It's so close to being decent but if you lack the design sensibilities to see it through and guide the process, it's kind of a mess.

People think AI is going to bridge some talent disparity between designers and developers vs non-technical types (and it probably will someday). But currently, AI is just acting like an infinity gauntlet with the designers and developers still holding all the stones.

Why? I've gotten far enough with FreeCAD despite its annoyances that I would be tempted to look into solving the problems with the kernel, and here you are discouraging people like me from getting involved by saying it's hopeless.

This is a really fantastic guide. I agree with everything from the O’Brien Must Suffer episodes to the ridiculously silly ones like Little Green Men. Very well done.
Presumably you only need a fixed IP for email delivery. Public sites like blogs could be fronted by a CDN, and you can manage private sites behind a vpn like tailscale etc.

I think a design where you rent a cheap $5-$10 vps with a static IP that forwards SMTP messages both ways through a secure tunnel to your personal mail server in your home would be a good starting point for self hosting.
It feels like you immediately get on the right track and can refine it with no clutter whereas when you Google you may flounder for a bit before finding the path among the ads, bad blog posts, questionable StackOverflow…
To be fair though, I would expect that. It's always been and always will be pretty terrible for anything at the character level, because it works on tokens (i.e. chunks of words) rather than characters, and it can't see individual characters at all.

For example, try asking it to count the number of characters in a word and, no matter if it's right or wrong (seems to be a coin toss, btw -- it can just do a rough guess), ask it "Are you sure?", and keep asking that over and over every time it replies. Chances are it'll keep changing the count back and forth, apologizing every time.
It had to be because you can still develop for MacOS without the $99/yr fee. I think you also knew that no offense was intended because "him" is both masculine and for quite a while the gender-indeterminate-default, and it takes time to change habits. In case you feel otherwise, I wasn't intending to mislabel you, I was focused on the subject more than the genders of those I was talking with and will try to remember for the future.
The EU now has eIDAS. All it lacks is widespread adoption.
Because of the size of the apt database (just one example, because apt is not the only package manager that needs to be taken into account) to begin with, I imagine anything outside of a distro's specific curation would make it really unwieldy.

Having said that, it would be really nice if you could at least dump the apt, pip, cargo, vim scripts, etc to a common file and use it for setting up new systems with your personal standardized packages and package manager of choice.

Even if you had to use the different apps to parse their own part of it, maintaining all the install info in one portable file would be glorious. Especially for folks with several systems, or systems that are rebuilt often, as seen in Raspberry Pi land, or any kind of lab environment.

Setting up and maintaining a common Linux image, unless it is totally default stock, is really more of a pain than it should be.

> Compared to what? Quality of life? Median income per-person? Longevity?

Whatever. If the argument is that transparency of income inevitably leads to some kind catastrophy then it's your burden to explain why it didn't lead to any catastrophy in Norway. And that's impossible since there are so many factors at play as you noticed that you can't really convlusively prove that income transparency is not benign or even beneficial by itself.

> Many companies today don’t publish or try to protect their IP because the act of publishing it makes it open to reverse engineering.

That's true. Because for them it's not worth it. You could make it worth it for them if you strengthened the external incentive. For example let products on the market only if details of their operation are properly documented and published. We are doing something like that about impotrant products like food which composition must be revealed.

You want to keep your secret ingredients in your food a secret? Sure, but you need to sell it in some other country. We could be doing that about all products which would offer immense consumer protections.

> Do you know of any country or even company for that matter that is completely open about all trade secrets, strategic plans, hiring decisions, or other business related activities? Can I see the CEO’s calendar, or read their internal chat messages or email?

Unfortunately not, but there are some rules about public companies that let you get a lot of very enlightening information about them. I really see no downside to extending those rules to all companies and extending the scope of those rules as much as possible. Imagine how many environmental and health disasters could be avoided.

> Someone has to be first. Why not you?

Because it doesn't work like that. If I do it, it doesn't improve probability of others doing it. It might even lower it because being moral among a morals puts me at visible disadvantage. And benefits of transparency grows with the number of transparent entities.

It's the same argument as with millionaires whi want higher taxation on millionaires. Why they don't just tax themselves voluntarily? Because others wouldn't follow and it's not about taxing them and putting themselves at disadvantage. It's about taxing all, so that the poor can benefit but it's still fair game between the rich.

> I wouldn’t say I’m surprised, but it undermines your strong moral claims around transparency in my view.

I never claimed to be a moral person myself. I won't do things I consider moral and benefit to society if they put me at a disadvantage. But that doesn't make me not see that those things in fact are moral and would benefit the society if they were enforced on everybody equally including me.
Does anybody know how you’d do this if your ISP uses carrier grade NAT? (Eg mobile dongle). My limited understanding is that with CGNAT there isn’t a unique public IP that points to you, (even if only temporarily). So presumably DDNS is out?

I guess IPv6 could/would solve this one day?
I think this is a great question, but I'd suggest expanding a bit in your post. I think if you expanded your question a bit, this would make it to the front page.

But, to answer your question: In general, every language has its own memory model. This leads to different semantics in how data and APIs are represented. Calling an API (package) from a language that it wasn't written in always requires a certain amount of extra work. (.net was an attempt to solve this, but in practice only C# took off, and the memory model in .net has a lot of tradeoffs that make it a poor "one size fits all" situation.)

But, to build on this, every language generally has a different way of dealing with external dependencies.

So, with it generally being difficult to do something like pull a C# library into Python, or pull a Java library into C, there's really no reason to have a universal package manager.

You'd need to start with a standard way to share libraries across languages. Given how COM and .net fared in this area, I think you'd end up like this: https://xkcd.com/927/

Im not deep into the AI space, but who would I use this?

I don't know what you've been searching for that you've only found two subtly wrong answers. It frequently gives me incorrect answers, some of which are subtle and some of which are obvious. It's given me incorrect code, told me about incorrect APIs, explained deep learning concepts incorrectly, given me wrong answers about science-related questions, made up characters wholesale when I asked it about Irish mythology, given me made-up facts about (admittedly niche) philosophers.

I'm glad you've found use out of it, but I can't imagine using it as a search replacement for my use cases.

Edit: And I don't see why it would be surprising that ChatGPT wouldn't have all of the answers. The underlying model is much, much smaller than it would take to encode all of the knowledge it was trained on. It's going to make things up a lot of the time (since it's not good at remaining silent).
This GCM sideshow is a consequence of the project using crypto-js, which is not fit for purpose. If your cryptography library doesn't support any AEADs, replace it with one that does.

I'd like to +1 the advocates of -x c++ here. There's just no reason not to. It's like building scaffolding around a building so you can retrofit it. It doesn't need to end up like a tower of c++, but the scaffolding lets you hoist things out of overly complex codebases a lot easier. The only immediate code changes encountered were adding explicit casts from malloc (and fixing actual bugs that had been hidden.) In one case recently, trivially converting some c structures to c++ and hiding internal representations let me delete thousands of lines of set(foo, xxx) calls because I could prove that there was no access to the computed result.

However, because I'm inherently chaotic neutral, I tend to use -x objective-c++, but that's a story for another day.
I meant today, not in the past when C did not yet have prototypes. This is irrelevant today.

Falcon family: 208/210 --> 99% (if you want to include AMOS its 98.57%)

> Falcon Heavy's cost is still theoretical

Its cost is unknown (so is that of Ariane 5), but its price is pretty well known. And costumers care about price and not cost.

> Ariane 5 works, extremely well.

Ariane 5 is end of live. It was incredibly expensive to the point where even Arianespace itself flew more missions with Russian rockets. It had a peak launch rate of 7 per year. Anybody with a brain has known Ariane 5 needs to be replaced since at least 10-12 years.

Outside of the Arianespace launched mostly Russian rockets, they just had a string of recent failures. Not to mention that they had issues with Ariane 5 that grounded the rocket for a very long time and the Swiss government had to provide emergency funding so they could make the launches leading up to Webb happen.

Arianespace will also consume more then 5 billion for the Ariane 6, a rocket that is mostly a slight upgrade over the Ariane 5 built with part that have been in development for a long time. This is more then the complete cost of the Falcon 1/Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy and reusability program have cost SpaceX.

The first step in improvement of European space is to not delude ourself of where we actually stand.

Would recommend Tailscale over SSH.

Really easy to setup/use and means you don't have to open up ports like 22 which are constantly being port scanned.
Postgres also uses a multi process architecture. But I think that turned out to be a mistake for something like a database, on modern systems.

There are other reasons, but the biggest problem is that inter process context switches are considerably more expensive than intra process ones. Far less efficient use of the TLB being a big part of that. It used to be worse before things like process context identifiers, but even with them you're wasting a large portion of the TLB by storing redundant information.
