> Bots are even more insidious than before

Not sure if that's actually caused by the recent changes as opposed to confirmation bias or merely the renewed attention that Twitter recently got.

I wouldn't comment on their moderation being better or worse since the acquisition considering they were already at zero as they couldn't even regex-out very obvious crypto scam tweets in reply to high-profile accounts.

> I'm dreading opening Twitter links because it got so frustrating

Me too, though that has nothing to do with the acquisition and was just as bad as before - something to do with justifying having dozens/hundreds of frontend engineers so they shipped a monster weighing megabytes to display ~300 characters of text.
Hi HN,
this is a proof of concept, the result of a few weeks of work.

The idea was to create a system that gets in input the description of an application in plain English (ideally, its specifications) and produces in output the actual, ready to use, Web application in reasonable time (less than a minute). The focus is on CRUDs, simple internal tools, personal databases & similar apps.

I took a generative AI model (GPT-3) and a no-code/low-code platform (DaDaBIK) and I made them cooperate.

Users provide app descriptions as input, which are then processed by the AI to generate an output that is tweaked and passed to the no-code platform to actually build the app. The resulting app includes CRUD features, automatic relationship handling, some data validation, and additional features like chart generation. The app also contains realistic examples of data to help users get started.

I know there is room for a lot of improvement and that the resulting app is not the state of the art in terms of UI/UX but considering the results I got in such a short time I think there might be potential.

It's a beta and there are some corner cases that can generate errors, but from the first tests (hundreds of apps generated) I can see that the vast majority of requests give reasonable results, if they are in target with the focus of AppifyText.ai (requests like "Build the new instagram for me!" gave obviously unexpected results).

Any feedback is welcome.
> Application-specific NN solutions tend to excel at this problem, by having a model of what details are important vs incidental

I'd say this is a context in which "the problem of Transparency" becomes evident: we would like to "see why", to come to learn a perfected deterministic algorithm from the implicit model that the NN developed.
I think you're missing the point: a journalist with an interest in internet things and "chokepoint capitalism" comes across an everyday example of these, and writes about it, using his experience as a starting point, is not a surprising outcome at all.

Of course he's savvy, that's how he's placed to explain it to less savvy people.

Of course he could just avoid it. You or I might (with a 98% success rate maybe), and then get on with our internet-savvy day job. But doing this is his internet-savvy day job. And good that it is someone's.
The issue I see is that humans seem to have many of the same problems as the ones they point out ml systems can have.

But what happened in Turkey is probably to a large extent not only that the cost was too high, but that the builders skimped on rules, but pocketed the difference.

Now in northern Syria, you could argue the cost would have been too large. The alternative there, in the midst of war, was probably in many cases "build incorrectly, or don't build at all and freeze in a tent".
And the kids would be correct in believing that.
> The government, and prominent child protection charities have long argued that encryption hinders efforts to combat online child abuse - which they say is a growing problem.

So take using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

What they should be doing, is rather then increase the risk of for the majority who use encryption for valid reasons (privacy, not nefarious), is invest in services to allow individuals to gain help, in a manner where they won't be ostracised and at risk, all from trying to come forward and get help to amend their behavior.

I am father myself, and like a majority (being a parent is a moot point really) am appalled and disgusted by CP, but me being that way won't stop individuals from succumbing to obtaining CP. Some of them do this even though they know it could trash their seemingly normal life (they often have their own families who are totally unaware). This to me suggests there is some sort of psychological disorder at play, and these people need professional help and intervention.

Trying to snoop on everyone, to seek these people out won't achieve anything. They are willing to offend even with extreme risks already in place (being labelled as a pedophile for the rest of your life). Them being snooped on won't stop it all, the same vicious cycle will continue to play out, but now with all of us lacking a basic right to privacy.
To be fair, writing systems like those have much more uniform characters. They don't have these immense width differences like with i and m.

I'd recommend expanding the browser configuration information on your site to include the options found under about:config.

There's a bunch of settings in there not available under the main settings. Eg privacy.resistFingerprinting -- which actually has a bug where your browser suddenly stops opening full screen, even with this setting disabled. Solution is to toggle this setting on and off, restarting browser between toggles, and Firefox will remember to open full screen again next time if that's how you left it.
Sigma algebras are useful even in a finite setting where we don't have to worry about pathologies. Think of them as modelling the lack of complete information in a probabilistic setting. If I know exactly which sample point represents my state, then I know the exact value of any random variable. If instead I only know that my state belongs to a given member of my sigma algebra, then I have some information, but not enough to necessarily pinpoint the value of a random variable.

In fact, the familiar tools of measure theory can take this intuition further. If a random variable is measurable with respect to a sigma algebra, then knowing which element of that sigma algebra my state is in actually is sufficient to pinpoint the value of a random variable.

Maybe to make this more concrete:

Let's say I'm going to do two coinflips. My probability space is {HH, HT, TH, TT}. You can check for yourself that the sigma algebra generated by {{HH, HT}}, {TT, TH}} is not the trivial one- this is the sigma algebra that represents "Knowing the value of the first flip, but not the second".

If we let X_first and X_second be 1 or 0 if the first or second flip is H or T respectively, then X_first is measurable with respect to this sigma algebra, but X_second is not.

With Martingales and other stochastic processes, we don't generally have just one sigma algebra, but a sequence of sigma algebras called a "filtration", where each sigma algebra is finer than the last (ie, contains more sets, therefore gives you more measurable random variables). This filtration sort of defines the stochastic process- it's encoding the slow drip of extra information as the stochastic process evolves over time.

"...I rely on a small handful of others installed from the Aurora, Google Play is a requirement for some of those."

Later thought. I also occasionally install Play Store apps via Aurora Store and it's worth noting that some state that they require Google Play Services but in fact they do work without it (I normally have GPS/Google Play disabled or uninstalled).

I've not bothered to research why but I presume it's the reporting mechanism that's not working, the core operation of these programs being independent of GPS (presumably this would simplify programming if the programmer is also coding the program for iPhone).

I'd be most interested if you or anyone else has more info about this.

- "The artist did have something in mind when painting these pictures: to paint pictures where only the viewer is meant to decipher the meaning."

- "He or she also did paint something aesthetically pleasing so there seems to be a lot of intention on that part as well."

Sorry, you're probably wrong on both assumptions. Playing with viewers is not common and is a genre thing. Aesthetic pleasantness is also not a required requisite of an art piece and as an intention may stand in conflict with honest self-expression.

I've often found that people that want to criticize Tailwind immediately dismiss anyone that likes it as lacking understanding of CSS.

I've been writing CSS since 1997 and tried every fad technique that's come along. Tailwind is the first one that didn't make me dread dealing with CSS.
I do hope Penpot takes Figma's place, but you just can't be so sure at this point.
> With Tailwind you’re forever jumping between components and figuring out what that one long line of class names is actually doing.

Only if you already have no clue what CSS is. If you know CSS and can’t figure out what a given tailwind class does, then I don’t know if anyone can help you.

That said, I do often feel that I might as well just write the css directly. Writing tailwind feels like another translation layer.
I agree. If you want the benefits of hypertext and http as a medium then the downside is user agents can modify what you send and render as they see fit.
> The Currys are far from the only residents opposing density. Last year, billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and his wife, Laura, also stated “IMMENSE objection” to allowing more apartments in the town. “They will MASSIVELY decrease our home values,” they wrote.

"Fraud" is only really a problem when perpetrated by not-well-connected individuals. When it's done by big companies it's called business.
Many high-end laptops have touchscreens these days. So the resemblance is quite appropriate. I would like to see a "compact", non-touchscreen mode in case no touch hardware is being used but it should be optional, for users who are okay with that level of fine-grained control.
You have to consider how this would happen. If the government bans E2EE, Apple and Google will have to ban E2EE from their UK stores.

Apps like Signal will then have to make a choice. Either publish an app that does not use E2EE or get removed from the app stores. What Signal are saying is that they would accept the ban rather than publish an app with weakened encryption.

Apple users will not be able to make their own choice. Android users will be able to make their own choice thanks to side-loading.

> "we would absolutely 100% walk rather than ever undermine the trust that people place in us to provide a truly private means of communication."

This from the same signal that refuses to update its privacy policy to reflect the fact that they've started permanently storing sensitive user data in the cloud (https://community.signalusers.org/t/proper-secure-value-secu...). The same Signal that ignored the users who didn't want any of their data kept in the cloud in the first place (https://community.signalusers.org/t/dont-want-pin-dont-want-...).

That, combined with the way they were misleading in their communications (https://old.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/htmzrr/psa_disablin...) already undermined the trust I was placing in them.

At this point I consider the fact that the very first sentence of their privacy policy has been a lie since 2020 to be a dead canary.
My repos all have one star because I am a star.
I suspect if they did, the funding for the project might see a cut.

Russians (gov) would get annoyed since apparently they have broken or bypassed Signal's encryption.

Brits would get annoyed because they can't use something they've funded.
To anyone who studies law in this area, is the DOJ at least consistent with regard to the deals they decide to block or allow to go through? I’m not asking whether they are making the right decision, but rather if whatever approach they use is applied the same way across cases each time.
That's all well and good until you have to maintain it at scale. I'd rather take regular CSS.
You don't need to enforce KYC or a particular verification method by law. Merely making the ad platform liable for any illegal content they get paid to host/serve will make the market resolve the problem immediately.
It’s starting to feel like a content whitelist would be easier than a content blacklist.
No it's more like functional programming with small, single-purpose elements. Semantic CSS is more like object oriented programming with big bloated classes with poorly designed and leaky abstractions.

There’s also the debate around a corporate daycare (Bright Horizons, Goddard, Primrose) and at home daycare.

I was a child of at home daycare by one woman who is literally my second mother (was present for all the big moments and was there emotionally for me). It also means it was a single point of failure; if Penny was sick, on vacation, then my parents were SOL.

A more corporate daycare gives you the reliable daycare but at the cost of your child being a number.

I had commented at the earlier link pointing out that their study might be a little off unless they're using a new water soluble very short half life formulation of ivermectin.

Also ivermectin is not used as an antimalarial in standard dosages, rather it controls the vectors that spread the disease. Either the reporter made the mistake or the science people who churned it out ... need help.
> It stands at exactly 10 lines of 80 characters.

Awesome! Sometimes people allow themselves to use unlimited length lines when shortening the number of lines. But this is good, 80 chars max per line is how it should be when talking about obfuscated code which has been crammed into a low number of lines.
I've been trying to find a similar description of how I react to intrusive thoughts for a long time.

I'm unsure if it emerged as a coping mechanism or if I never associated the tics with the intrusive thoughts. It wasn't until I had a round of CBT I even realised why I was doing it. Like you, I'll make an out-of-context sound, click my tongue, roll my hands, double-tap my shoulder, etc.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I'm going to check out John's books this weekend.
No, but I was talking about it, so you proved that :)
Your last paragraph is precisely what my point is. I simply don't understand why people like the indirection. Sure, it feels amazing to clap together a few classes and not have to think about naming them, until you later find that you don't know what the hell a given div is and have to spend a bunch of time parsing the one long line of Tailwind classes. If you try grouping the Tailwind classes using @apply for readability, congratulations, you have reinvented CSS classes, except with a DSL on top.
The system is fully expandable to 65K, with the entire data and address busses, clocks, control signals ( i. e. IRQ, NMI, DMA, RDY, etc.), and power sources available at the connector.

Were any of those (few) sold boards ever expanded to the maximum possible RAM? That would be a beast of a machine, for cheap, in 1976.

Also: 65K of memory? Not 64K?
> If newspapers are afraid to publish because they are fearful of libel suits, then we might miss fact-checked stories that are in the public interest, and it's not clear that that's a good trade-off.

I'd argue the opposite. If they're afraid of libel, they're probably engaging in it and should stop.

If they're sure of what they're saying and have proof of due diligence, they shouldn't be afraid. If they're not sure, they might still want to publish the information but be clear and explicit that they have no proof and state how they got hold of the information.

Saying "I heard but haven't been able to verify that Person X did Thing Y" is very different from saying "Person X did Thing Y". The latter should absolutely be liable to a suit if they don't have proof or very strong evidence that it actually happened. The former shouldn't as much.

Disclaimer, IANAL so I can't tell if libel laws in different countries work that way but I would expect them to do so at least in broad terms.

What Is the Best Book to Learn Go in 2023?
Sovereignty on Internet in the Internet age is a nonsense; Internet is not the possession of a government, participating to the Internet at country level (dot uk) is voluntary, if UK wants to get out of Internet as a mesh of interconnected computer networks then it is free to go back to the Dark Ages.

Security is another practical nonsense. You don't need to use Signal to encrypt things, anonymous or encrypted communications existed since the dawn of times and will continue to exist no matter what the governments want to do. Criminals will always be able to use one time pad encryption at will, so raping everyone's rights to communication and privacy in the name of security and sovereignty is just a false pretext.

As far as I know mutex is not a signal that data is received, which would require some kind of threading / interrupt.

Moreover, it's a bit of a secondary thing.

The API would look something like a call function with a receive function/lambda on the receiving side, with memory possibly being 'handed over' or whatever. And so the level of abstraction would be slightly higher.

And it would be a no-brainer, well established thing. Searching for how to do that today and it's always complicated.
Poll: Those with both an anxiety disorder and ADHD what meds work for you?
I was diagnosed for ADHD last year, prior to that I had OCD, gone through depression. Fluoxetine is given for OCD, Quetiapine to fall asleep. For ADHD I was given Atomoxitine at first two days my mind calm down after close to a decade, I was overjoyed, but it did not last longer. (there was side effect like HBP, loss of appetitie, fatigue) in first days.

Then another Psychiatrist prescribed me Ritalin, it improved my mood, helped with my EF (planning, organizing, carrying out tasks consistently), but did not helped with working memory, which I really need. Side effects of Ritalin were weird sweating without any environmental change, depressive thoughts when med is drying up.

So my question is for those with both anxiety and ADHD what meds work for you?

(I am specially interested in meds that help you to focus, improve working memory, other EFs still avoiding negative thoughts when drug is drying up from the system. As I heard Vyvanse is good, but I want to know others experiences.)

Some concern about ADHD in general:

I wish there was better way to early diagnose ADHD, because it takes time to practice to live with ADHD, not to mention we cannot get back lost time, opportunities, relationships etc. Thing is factors like intelligence, childhood support (from parents, friends) delay the ADHD diagnosis to adulthood. I was diagnosed at 29, my peers had move way far ahead in life, while I am still struggling to be normal.
