> That doesn't in any way support the idea that women are only attracted to a small subset of men. That's an idea taken literally from the incel crowd.

Well, to be fair, that’s not exactly what I was saying. Despite replying to that poster, I was half echoing Scott Galloway’s comment that on dating apps the top 20% of attractive men get 60% of the interest. I didn’t check his sources, but it doesn’t seem like an unrealistic assertion to me, or a belief that only someone with a twisted world view might have, as you seem to be implying.
Sure, all good ideas in the meantime (and you could use right-thumb cmd/alt modifier or holdSpace as a vim-like cursor mod with the home keys as cursor and with H as backspace and G and delete and I as Enter to free your pinky (qwerty-layout))

But then dvorak is obviously not the best layout for this since it wasn't designed with all of that in mind. And neither were the home row mods themselves, for example, maybe only Shift is useful in the home row, and the others aren't used frequently enough (or maybe it's better to have numpad-mod key on the home row instead of the Windows key).

So I guess the focus of the layout collaboration effort could be on improving the algo/data, but instead we get a bunch of new layouts that only tackle a small(er)(and different) part of the problem without much of an improvement over he previous solutions (and, more importantly, with no good way to compare them). That would only leave you with the black magic of tweaking algo weights in the end :-)

P.S.
There is also https://github.com/jtroo/kanata alternative to kmonad
And re. homerow mod keys, it seems that there is an even better approach not relying on timings (which I think are impossible to resolve with full accuracy, though with per-key timings you can get pretty close), but that's not implementable within Karabiner, so someone had a homebrew Swift solution I haven't tried
I think you answered your own question, the familiarity for users (seo & content) which is "end-to-end no-code" is massive (especially once extended with user-facing plugins). And you're not even speaking about making the move to Gutenberg yet. Just too much value there.
Out of curiosity, that means you deliberately buy phones when they are pretty much guaranteed to not receive any updates anymore, including security updates? Or do you install custom ROMs?
I'd suggest to try Miryoku [1] on an ergonomic (split) keyboard running QMK, ZMK or KMK firmware. It's a very well though out layout using only 36 keys.

I think this is off-topic since it's not discussing the content of post. But I agree it's worth discussing.

I don't agree, I think ChatGPT may have been part of the editing process but not in the primary draft. The intro is complex in a way that I haven't ever noticed in ChatGPT output. I have a suspicion that participating in academic-ish/research discussions pushes you to use very specific language. This matches the goal for ChatGPT, to produce neutral and clinical sounding answers.

I had some existential concerns about not knowing whether I was just AI, and read similar sentiment from others in some other AI posts. ChatGPT describes its personality using the same descriptions people used to describe my work in the past. There's no meaningful insight you can gain from that parallel, other than that it's good at mirroring the sentiment of the user. [1]

I put my own past HN comments in the AI detectors from OpenAI and GPTZero, and I got a few false positive where it indicated "possibly" to "completely" written by AI. The comments are from years ago. In case you're curious, I didn't use AI in any part of the process of writing and edit this comment. I'm not using grammerly or even spellcheck, so excuse any mistakes you find. I've been thinking a lot about the 1995 Ghost in the Shell: "What if a cyber brain could possibly generate its own ghost, create a soul all by itself?

Unfortunately, but its a bit deeper than that basic characterization allows.

There are a lot of confounding factors, from the lack of actual role models, subversive propaganda, poor parenting, and the effects of education, to the debt saddled on you at a time in your life where you are especially vulnerable as you become independent.

There was an interesting set of statistics out of Scandinavia, I think it was, that seemed to suggest that women with high levels of education rarely selected mates who were not at least as educated as they were. Women generally as a cohort don't date down.

Some common things that often get ignored are:

If women don't have babies by 35, risk of complications and death go up drastically.

If men or women aren't debt free with a down payment for a house by 30, they often won't get married (because of the debt), or if they do, they won't have children.

The issue is a societal one where commonplace norms weren't propagated for the most part by the boomer generation and the survivors who have been tied down in red tape unable to move are the people left to pick up the pieces.

That of course assumes someone at the top chooses not to end everything in a glorious final confrontation by escalating existential threats. Not good times.

I got really frustrated with Hugo yesterday when I couldn't add a page with just a list of all my posts on it. I spent a few hours playing around with a bunch of different options, Hexo seemed to come the closest to something I could fire up and just drop my existing markdown in (though it did blow up on a youtube embedded player I had in one post).

Bearclaw does look super simple to get going, but seemed to be missing a few things I was hoping for:

- No real documentation, so I copied my markdown files over.
- Ran bearclaw and put the output in a web accessible location.
- Went there and there was no index.html (though "home" on the "posts" page seems to link to it).
- The "posts.html" page just has filenames, so it doesn't seem to pick up the frontmater.

It's definitely leaning in the direction I was looking for, but maybe a little too far. :-)

Quarter, half, and full page ads carry useful information. You get to control how much time you linger on them before proceeding to another part of the publication.

Not using a template language and avoiding to do error handling are not good ways to make a program "simple and easy to understand".

If your users run into one of the many string escaping bugs or get an unexpected error code from the file system, the program will not behave as expected and not detect the error either.

>which definitely doesn't think

Why do you think it "definitely" doesn't think? If this is about lacking consciousness, then you should make that explicit. But then the question just gets pushed back further, why are you sure it isn't conscious?

The problem with the Chinese room at its core is the problem of attribution. We want to attribute properties like consciousness or understanding to "things" we are familiar with, and the only sufficient thing in the room is the man. But this intuition misdirects us to bad conclusions. The question to ask is what is responding when questions are being asked of the room. The responses are being generated by the algorithm reified into a causally efficacious process. Essentially, the reified algorithm is a set of properties without objecthood. It's so hard for people to see this as a live option because our cognitive makeup is such that we reason based on discrete entities. Considering extant properties without entities to carry them is just an alien notion.

We can go further and conceptualize a virtual objecthood for the process to help us reason about the entity we interface with in the Chinese room. We can then ask what properties does it have, how much does it understand, and so on. But we can't simply say it doesn't have any of these properties because it's merely a mechanical/computational process.
Ask HN: How to develop a first-principles understanding of CS
Hi HN,

Current sophomore studying CS -- I've been thinking about how to get a deeper understanding of what I'm studying, and how to self-study the topics I'm interested in more intentionally.

Sometimes, it feels like I don't remember the content I learned in a class the quarter after I took them. I'll certainly recall general ideas/concepts, but I feel I'm missing two things -- first, a very strong sense of how to apply what I learn, and second, some of the important minutia (is big endian stored back to front or front to back? how do I structure and inductive proof? etc).

These are things I can look up quite quickly, and aren't the best examples of what I should be optimizing for if I'm looking to work in a traditional software engineering context, but I feel like I should know them off hand. I've looked into spaced repetition for memorizing certain things, but I feel like that doesn't get help with what I'm seeking here, which is a foundational/first-principles understanding of CS.

This was all somewhat prompted by this comment on reddit -- https://www.reddit.com/r/computervision/comments/7gku4z/comment/dqkkbd9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3. I was daunted by these questions, but it feels like I could answer them if my understanding of certain things went beyond a surface level (i.e. integer overflow).

My ask(s) are these -- first, do you have any recommended books/resources that did a lot for you in developing a foundational understanding of CS, second, how should I go about intentionally filling gaps in my understanding, and third, how can I get better at being able to apply what I've learned to a new problem/setting.

Apologies for the long, rambly post in advance. I truly appreciate you reading this, please let me know if you have any clarifying questions.
Ask HN: Add U2F tag/icon next to username for popular GitHub/Gitlab repo?

Is the Rust regex crate a bottleneck in your program? Can you share the details?
> At some level, the only way to get answers to these kinds of questions is to have the tool report data about how a tool is used to the maintainers of that tool.

This is frankly bullshit. Before always online telemetry there were there things called user groups, special interest groups, submissions, committees, etc.

You don’t need to surveil Go users to understand how they use the tooling, they’ll tell you, if you didn’t create an ivory tower around those who work (or have worked) for Google, and those who clearly aren’t worthy.

The fact this proposal is dead in the ground is an example that just because you could write a program to do a thing, one doesn’t need to write a program to do a thing.

Good riddance.
I assume you would be communicating pointers with actor mailboxes, so the only copy is a pointer. I believe Erlang copies data itself into other actor's heaps, that simplifies garbage collection since GC can be done per process and there is only one owning reference to a processes' data.

You might find Pony's ORCA interesting which is how they implement garbage collection between actors.

At the cost of efficiency, grid computing can be made secure by performing the same unit of work on multiple hosts and comparing the results. Of course, the computations have to be deterministic for that to work.

> I learned from guitar that the lift of the finger can be easier on it than lateral stretches

The energy you give to the string is hundreds of times more than the energy you give to the kbd (do not consider this as an exaggeration because I'm a bass player). Also lateral stretching of your pointer finger is something easy to train, I used to have that experience while learning a piano playing.

I don't understand why do anybody invent a new kbd layout after Dvorak's work? He gifted us a beautiful set of aoeui layouts. Just get used to it and help with this information to your friends who are willing to get rid of Qwerty, that's it.
Because tech companies are about to fill your storage with un-uninstallable bloat.

> "The industry, by and large, puts a crazy amount of effort into avoiding SQL by writing ORMs, translation layers and similar tech "

In my experience (I am retired from a telecom operator) using a database made applications quite inflexible yet real life implies constant changes in their data model and as a result when there was a "database migration" there was always some information lost.

On contrary Pick databases (MultiValue databases) were very useful.

I'd rather buy 4 of the Nokia and live with the unwanted big screen rather than having the "right" form factor for 4x the price. That's not even a compromise here.
Could someone please post a representative snippet of such a story created by AI so we can judge it directly? Especially something that aroused the attention of the editor.
But it's a pinky lateral stretch, maybe AltGr+H (win/qwerty) that use your much stronger thumb+index fingers and also allow to put Delete conveniently close is better? What would the algo say? Maybe it's also not great since it's a lateral stretch, so a better alternative would be something else where you lift your fingers?
From a slide in the middle of it there's a bit of wisdom of understanding (software) systems that's applicable both from a project management perspective, but also more broadly: "Complex systems will always fail. A failure demonstrates lack of understanding of the system. Failure is the system talking to you. Listen: It's not noise; it's information"

> Malware can indeed be worse than hell. Have you ever had your bank account hacked? Or your email account broken into? Or your identity stolen and had to deal with dozens of credit cards being registered and then hit the limit under your name?

To be honest - as an older-phone user, that's part of why I never access email on my phone, nor my bank account. I see my phone as something that's basically insecure, and take into account (no pun intended) the possibility that other people will be able to access its contents.

I realize, though, that many old phone users don't hold this view necessarily.
Just reading this again gives me a backflash of the horrors of working with WordPress. If you haven’t seen the source, you don’t know just how god-awful the code is - and it just won’t die, because of all the ecosystem traction it has.

Even the PHP developers have chosen to ignore WordPress in language evolution considerations, as the WordPress community refuses to do accept kind of progress for their project - they still use the unsafe, outdated mysql-API without parametrised queries, for example.

Whatever you do in 2023—if you can avoid it, don’t use WordPress as a CMS.

There exist problems where finding the solution is hard but verifying the solution is easy. example in the general case: prime-factoring numbers.

Are you claiming that for all possible problems posed, verifying the correctness of the output of an LLM is equal or higher difficulty than solving the problem itself? If so, that seems like a claim more arising from emotion than reason.

In the general case, you can have it generate code in a proof based language that "proves" the code is correct against formal specification. Unless you consider math itself to be "bullshit" too.

I think one of the most important sysadmin jobs is learning where the logs are, which ones are important, and learning to monitor them. There are likely app logs, web access logs, sshd logs, general syslog logs, etc., and it's good practice to understand them and to know what is normal and what should be investigated.

A good way to get started is to install something like tmux or screen, then run "tail -f <log>" to start watching. It sounds simple, but in a crisis (which maybe doesn't apply to a hobby project), separating noise from signal is key.
