If you're really hardcore processing multilingual text you need an equivalent to language tags anyway, because you need a dictionary for word-wrapping, date formatting, quote marks etc along with changing fonts (or glyph selectors in the same font.) TeX has them too.

But usually people only care about their language, so it goes by the system UI language and it works out.
Ask HN: Any tips for promoting an open source package on Hacker News?
Hi everyone,

I released an open source PHP package that leverages the power of OpenAI's language model to enhance natural language processing in PHP projects. The package has already gained some traction with over 60k downloads on GitHub, but I'm hoping to increase its exposure and reach a wider audience.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully promoted an open source package on Hacker News before and has any tips to share. What worked for you? What didn't work? How did you craft your title and messaging to catch the attention of the Hacker News community?

If you're interested in checking out the package, it's available on GitHub here: https://github.com/orhanerday/open-ai

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
Where else can you read latest news on with serious discussions with no trolling and memes?
This is based on census data, yea? Students are _notoriously_ bad at filling that stuff out.
Ah, but if you model the mutable state as a function taking prior state to new state (and no cheating and modeling it as World -> World), you can constrain and control it into something you can reason about. You're one step closer to taming the dragon of chaos, bucko!
You can if you typedef it.
My local Lansing paper, which is wholly owned by Gannett, has dropped Dilbert. I think like most of the people on HN I adore Dilbert.

What Scott Adams said was wrong, plain wrong. I just don't think that it rises to the level of cancelling someone who brings a smile or a laugh to me on a daily basis. I even respect your right to disagree, but no one gave me a vote.
I tried this and got a funny answer with the strings "bananas" and "pandas":

Great! Here are some possible ways to transform string A into B using the provided operations:

Insert(p, 0) -> "pananas"
Swap(n, 2) -> "pananas"
Swap(d, 4) -> "pandnas"
Swap(a, 5) -> "pandasn"

Swap(b, 0) -> "abananas"
Delete(a, 1) -> "bnanas"
Swap(p, 1) -> "bpanas"
Swap(d, 3) -> "bpands"
Insert(a, 4) -> "bpanda"
Swap(s, 5) -> "bpandas"

Insert(p, 0) -> "pananas"
Insert(d, 1) -> "pdananas"
Swap(a, 2) -> "pdnaanas"
Swap(p, 3) -> "pdnapanas"
Swap(a, 4) -> "pdnapnaas"
Swap(s, 5) -> "pdnapnasa"
Delete(a, 6) -> "pdnapnas"
Lane assist is actually really nice. I also had 0 interest but now I use it.
Ha, no worries! Thanks for responding though. All this stuff is super frustrating to deal with. I see regular posts on forums about people having to deal with old shitty immobiliser installs that have turned bad.

My thinking is that GPS tracking at least gives a chance of finding the car again if it gets stolen.

Being able to configure a server is already great. Will do some more digging.
To add on that, if you have a system solely for conversing with and about other conscious beings, you can hack that into a system for conversing about anything by treating inanimate objects as particularly shy and sloth like beings. Its nice as you don't need grammatical rules to handle the distinction between animate and inanimate object functions. Eg, any method of learning information can be phrased as "X told me Y." Jack told me. The equations tell me. I told myself. You can even personify large forces beyond your comprehension or the universe as a whole. In that case we usually call it "religion".
There's a keypass plugin that allows you to encrypt and decrypt your database with HOTP. I doubt it has much usage. It seems really inconvenient, and also potentially dangerous, because if your HOTP provider gets too far ahead of your database (you press the button too many times, or typo too many times), you permanently lose access to your data. You would want a HOTP provider that supports rewinding to avoid that problem. But I think HOTP doesn't really support rewinding very much.

But this is beside the point I was making. My point was that even if the the database was encrypted with 2FA, right after you enter your 2FA malware can steal the decrypted database out of memory.
Does anyone known if OpenAI is allowing fine tuning to GPT35 for foundry customers?
I think that discontent is good for software and hardware.
For some of the cases, it's just not worth the time and effort, even for that "old ass IP". If HBO/Warner/Discovery shows up asking to use your title and it takes a lawyer 20-40 hours to iron it out at $200/hr, what's the return? Is someone really going to buy a copy of Ms Pac because they saw it in the background of a zombie show?

Some of the IP should have been a slam dunk. I'm surprised Williams/Midway was a hassle since Warner Interactive now owns most of those titles.

For things like pinball with licensed titles, that's a huge mess. If you want a Bally Addams Family pin in your show you not only need to contact the slot machine company that owns the Bally pinball IP but you need to contact Paramount Studios, Anjelica Huston's agent, and the estate of the now deceased Raul Julia. Good luck with that.
The other thing is that the legal system is not an API you can spam with until you get a proper response. If you make nonsense arguments in court, or use confabulated law as a lawyer, you will get your law license revoked. The legal system's resources are limited and it doesn't have unlimited time to hear a computer spout clever, but wrong or made up nonsense.
I drew three dots and wrote "spinning symbol", and it even animated the result.
> It's not that any of the developers or big tech want to kill a person rather than uttering a racial slur. I'm amazed this needs saying

Are you sure? "big tech" is optimized for making money; a FAANG-sized company would probably lose more by uttering a racial slur in a high-profile place than by killing one worker (cf the Amazon warehouse workers killed in that tornado).
You confuse me. People are interested in technology because its cool and neutral. All technology can be used for both good and bad things, and that's historically provable. Making specific areas of science off limits for virtue points is unreasonable. And I didn't call you stupid. I called that point of view stupid. I'm sure you're not a generally stupid person.
> then consider themselves wiser

Nonono, they ARE wiser, they ARE wiser for understanding that these frameworks are not quantized or quantifiable and instead are gradients with undefined boundaries over which lines on the sand are dejure undefinable. That realization MAKES them wiser and it makes anyone whom understands it wiser, yes.

> Is anything real?

The sum of modern philosophy might state that "That's up to you to decide" :)

> This is such a dumb sentence.

No it is not, you are just in disagreement with it, because you mentally would prefer your handhanded and have certainty on a realm where certainty is hard to come-by. That's an understandable, empathizable behavior, most people tend to abhor uncertainty

> you're a AFDUNOIAFNDMLOISABFID, because you can't define it.

I mean, I could be, apparently the world is defined by you, so it could be left up to you to decide (?), you'd be surprised of how people with different wild and exotic mental disturbances get day to day. I would recommend you to read up on it, it is very interesting

> You can't presume that concepts have merit because they are represented by language.

If you were to argue with some Linguists, they might say that the opposite is true, that language itself is what anchors concepts onto "existence". One very interesting situation, is that apparently the very conception or at least verbalization and therefore social anchoring of concepts like "colors", is itself dependent on language evolving

> To be able to receive SMS, the network must know your location. You are also forced to use proprietary firmware for most radio components.

These are risks you have just by owning a cell phone, having an authenticator app doesn't change that.

> SMS is also subject to attacks against the telecom, such as by tricking their staff into producing a new sim card with your number.

This is absolutely a legitimate concern, and the lack of security in carrier practices in particular honestly makes me want to avoid 2FA entirely. Fortunately, I've never needed it for account recovery. I use a password manager so all accounts get unique logins and I'm savvy enough not to fall for your typical phishing scams which helps. There's no guarantees my luck will hold out though so I'll be looking into privacy preserving options for the most critical things or for cases where I'm not left with any choice.
Yeah, it'll go from "you save money if you opt-in" to "you pay much more if you don't opt-in" as soon as possible.

When builder's remedy rules kicked in this month for California cities that didn't meet state planning requirements, projects got filed for upwards of 10,000 housing units just in the first week alone. It would have been higher, except that some cities tried to game the process even more by foot-dragging and so there are ongoing lawsuits to declare them out of compliance.

Current market forces would love to build truly astounding amounts of housing. The problem in the way is NIMBYism and shitty local zoning and permitting.
Just in terms of readability and maintainability I find polymorphism to be significantly worse than switch-statements. It's hard to locate all the implementations of a particular function and read through them and edit them when they aren't in one place in a single switch statement. Higher performance is merely extra icing on the cake when using switch statements over polymorphism.
This looks nicely polished and I might pay for this since it provides some real value but it has the same problem many other front-end SaaS products have - it hijacks the end user.

What I mean is that I can't use it without sending my users to your site. For example, I use sendgrid for marketing and transactional mail. I think our bill fluctuates between $200-500/month. I would consider using Sendgrid's WYSIWYG editor (even though it's not very good) but I can't do it without:

- sending my users to their website,

- managing separate accounts/permission,

- breaking continuity with my product,

- storing potentially private attachments offsite,

- loosing any integrations I could provide

What I would like from a product like yours is to be able to use your frontend as a javascript embed without the other clutter. i.e. a hosted library rather than a full product.

Your embed would have to define some sort of plug-in API for uploading images/attachments and browsing existing ones and then your clients would have to provide end points for those APIs.

I would then request the completed HTML after editing and handle all the sending and related issues myself (through my vendor like sendgrid).

I know building hosted javascript embeds isn't as sexy as a full SaaS offering but there is definitely a market for it. Lots of people sell products that send email - you could sell to those people.
maybe discontent is good for a product within a company, but if your end user has lots of complaints and is not having a great experience, that's not a good thing at all
There were several spell checkers for the TRS-80 model 100, which maxed out at 32K of RAM. More typically, it has 24K, because the weird RAM chips were so expensive.

Plus, few people had floor drives for the 100 —you had to operate from a cassette tape.
I own a few rental properties. During my last renewal cycle, I kept rent flat and every single tenant renewed no questions asked. A friend was competing with 30 other people for a townhouse rental for them and their two kids.
Yup -- I love that people always point to RealPage's existence as some sort of smoking gun that proves literally every landlord is colluding with one another.
> The infected lab worker causing exactly one massive superspreading event in the wet market without infecting anyone else,

That's indeed unlikely, but it's a strawman. As I've noted repeatedly above, most lineages die out. If the introduction into humans occurred outside the market (naturally or otherwise), then it's quite likely that patient infected others outside the market; those lineages just died out. I remember Trevor Bedford showing genomic evidence of all the failed introductions into Seattle before the spread finally went exponential, early in the pandemic.

Pekar et al. is basically a more sophisticated version of your argument, with numerical models of the phylogenetic and epidemiological dynamics. I don't think it's convincing (since they chose their power law pretty arbitrarily), but at least they acknowledge and purport to model that stochasticity.
In 1921 in one incident (triggered by attempts to prevent a lynching of a black man, of which there were 59 that year [0]), 75-300 people were killed, 800+ injured, and 10,000 left homeless in race-motivated mob violence, with the police actively intervening on the side of the racist mob, an attack which included, per eyewitness accounts, aerial bombardment by multiple aircraft.

In the same year, along with other significant acts of violence around racial issues, labor-issues related violence was so great that it involve Mingo County, WV, being under state declared martial law for months with battles between state authorities and armed miners, an invocation of the federal Insurrection Act and deployment of federal troops finally ending the fighting.

[0] While higher than any subsequent year, this was also not abnormal for the years from the 1880s through 1921.

I think it would certainly value the kind of "clean" design patterns (or anti-patterns as I consider most of them) that object-oriented programming evangelists espouse.
Also, even if it were proof that every current landlord was colluding, the easiest solution to that would be... to build a lot more housing, to severely dilute the power of current landlords.
I guess eventually a locally-installable ChatGPT-alike will become available. Someone will figure out how to fine-tune it on legal jargon, and then try and use it to represent themselves.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. I don't have an Nvidia device, but I do have an Android/Google TV. I really don't care about all the "recommended" crap on the home screen; I just ignore it all, and use my remove to skip down to the SmartTubeNext icon and open that app to watch YouTube videos ad-free (no sponsor messages either!). Or I use a different button that leaves the home screen and takes me to a file manager to view the files I've loaded on my USB stick so I can watch those (I decline to say where these files came from exactly). These are the only 2 things I need out of a TV.
Shanghai's cold chain failures during the pandemic would seem to disagree, in one small aspect.

Also, the Red Army's logistical skills are not de facto inherited from the civilian population's. Significant hand-over and training would be needed.

Still, yeah, a lot better than the kleptocracy of Russia. Man, they still don't have forklifts. How the hell did we think they were anything?
4br are very common in specific markets e.g. college towns, but yeah in professional areas probably not. Families needing to rent will probably look for houses more than apartments.
Quality isn’t that great. Some service centers are booked out four or five months. Owner satisfaction remains high despite that, however.

What I find is that kids (at least mine) are motivated to create even more drawings on their own and then see what it looks like with AI, which gives them more ideas, so they create even more drawings. So, so far, I'd say it has a positive impact. But I'm also pretty curious how this may end up impact on the long term.
A lot of DoD people read HN too. These kinds of articles will attract them over, say, bitcoin or neuroscience articles.
I think you're expressing an unhealthy resentment here. I work as a SWE and I appreciate the critical thinking involved in the types of problems I get to solve. I'm also in graduate school for something that often borders on humanities and I am amazed at the complexity of thought that goes into the field due to how limitless the scope is and the way in which the humanity of the field allows anybody to participate. The STEM students I teach often struggle with exactly that, as well as with having well-developed communication skills. Turns out that choosing either STEM or humanities and forsaking the other leaves students deficient.
Are you new here? HN is known for its iconic negative comments.

Quite trivial indeed.
Fun fact: Domino's Australia is the R&D capital for Domino's worldwide. All the latest tech gets developed and tested here. Surprised they haven't rolled out their tech worldwide yet...

All stores have a DRU Pizza Checker (AI powered camera to check every pizza as it comes out of the oven)[1][2].

Some stores in the state of Queensland even have automated DOM robots to deliver pizzas[3] and even drones[4].

Source: Worked closely with Domino's in an old job (not employed by Domino's). Their office was super fun to navigate through with robotics engineers, software developers and more working on some impressive stuff.

10k sounds high to me. I'm aware of about 400-500 submitted so far in the SFBA (of which I filed 20), and I personally know folks preparing a total of another 700 or so. Did you find a comprehensive tracker with higher numbers?

You managed to misunderstand both Casey Muratori and Donald Knuth. You are not alone, the majority of the industry seems to have gotten it wrong.

Casey tells you that following "Clean Code" can give you a huge performance hit for no obvious benefit. And even if "Clean Code" were to be more maintainable (it's not; in my experience, it's actually worse for maintainability), you should still be extremely aware of the cost you're likely to pay down the track. It's not a contrived example, it's literally textbook "Clean Code".
I'll say it again: "Clean Code" gives you slower, less maintainable code, and you get nothing from it. Maybe you can afford it, maybe in your use case it's not a big deal, but you should be informed.

Knuth tells you to measure before optimizing, which Casey did. Knuth does NOT tell you "don't worry about performance, you'll optimize later". You quoted Knuth but stopped right before the best part:

> A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such reasoning, he will be wise to look carefully at the critical code; BUT ONLY AFTER THAT CODE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED [emphasis mine]. It is often a mistake to make a priori judgments about what parts of a program are really critical, since the universal experience of programmers who have been using measurement tools has been that their intuitive guesses fail.

To recap: "A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such reasoning" - in other words, just because 97% of the code may not need optimization does NOT mean you should not be thinking about performance.

Knuth's point is that when identifying hotspots, programmers were relying on intuition rather than measurement. That's what he meant by "premature optimization". Knuth did not mean (especially since it was the 70s) you should write "Clean Code" that you know has worse performance for little benefit.

And Knuth does not write "Clean Code", by the way.

Chronicles of an Age of Darkness by Hugh Cook. It's not that well known, so few will be offended by an adaptation. It's got everything, magic, lore, heros, wizards, witches, giant insects, wars etc. It's written with a certain sense of humour that fits in with modern TV. The series follows different characters who cross paths as friends and enemies. I think it would be a good one.
