Again, that's not how spam filters actually work in the real world. They hardly care about message contents. They care about how many spam reports users file and those are weighed against non-reported messages for any stable identity like phone number, sending domain name, etc.

Spam meanwhile is defined as messages users don't want. If users can't tell the difference between spam and non-spam then, by definition, the messages are not spam.

If you send lots of "legit" messages to people who don't want them you'll be reported as a spammer and get banned. Doesn't matter what the messages say.
Hmm… I wonder how hard it would be to throw together a little IMAP server just for personal note synchronization.

Is note handling a standard part of the protocol or an extension?

there are things that make perfect sense when a language forces you to use an IDE anyway if you want to do anything longer than a toy.

Shadowing is not a big deal with IDEs; you can always see the type of the variable , jump to definition easily etc etc.

The rule to not shadow variables makes more sense when you want to understand the code just by looking at it.
Denise Schmandt-Besserat, a true American genius, develops the idea of writing from accounting for objects of common value like olive oil, wine, flour etc. She traces the development of literacy to an earlier phenomenon called numeracy - skill in counting and calls both literacy and numeracy as sources of power for the person who possessed those skills.

The following reference may be of help:

How Writing Came About. By Denise Schmandt-Besserat. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1997. Pp. xii+193; figures, notes, index. $19.95.

This book is a summary of her earlier two volume study called 'Before Writing'.

Hope this helps.

I used to dualboot with Slack and some version of Windows, since the early 2000s, although I stopped somewhat when VMs became a thing anf then WSL. I genuinely liked Windows 7, but 10 was a start down a bad path and 11 is just too far gone.

I thought the way it worked was that the certificate signed with the certificate private key only contains the public key, and the ssh server, after checking the certificate is valid, validates that the client has the private key corresponding to the public key in the certificate.
Part of me wanted to believe that SVB's failure wouldn't lead to real financial losses for the FDIC. That there was a weird panic bank run, and then the steady hand of a regulator was needed, but there really were enough assets.

Not saying I studied the data and concluded that; it's just what I wanted to believe.

$20b loss to FDIC insurance fund feels high. It still meets the technical definition of "no losses borne by taxpayers" but it's a lot of money. I've gotta believe it's among the largest ever if not the largest ever losses borne by the FDIC for a single bank failure.

Distressing – some combination of having been in denial about just how screwed up SVB was financially, paired with concern for what this will mean if the dominos keep falling.
So, people complain about Windows spyware and antifeatures, then they install Ubuntu and Steam client. What did that solve? Move your profiling data to someone else?

> soviet union was actually very good at providing basic needs (food, housing, education, medical care) to its population. in fact much better than even the US does right now. that is not the reason ussr collapsed

You just have to look the refuges after the wall fell which were buying all the basic necessities in bulk, you know it's BS.
Apple provides a clear and beneficial point of difference. They are vertically integrated and now with Apple silicon, have arguably the best productivity laptops on the market. My M2 Air, lets me do all the personal dev and admin work my XPS 17 does, but I can easily go several days without a charge. My work provided MBP will easily go all day on a single charge and have plenty of charge left.

Linux provides easily the best dev environment, is free, gives you all the control you could possible want, runs on lots of hardware and is speedy even on old hardware. Most of the internet is probably hosted on some flavour of linux, and open source frameworks so it's easy for you to do the same.

Windows is good for games and if you need to use Excel? It also has the best drivers for my printer. Am I being unfair here?
Yeah but the time on the clock when sunset is will be an hour earlier, meaning you can break fast an hour earlier in relation to your job and whatnot
What other punishments does EU have at its disposal?
I think it is partially due to the fact that humans tend to impose their will over others. I guess a lot of people don't trust eachother enough that abundant resources will be shared adequately and fair enough for everyone to enjoy life and play. I think this is warranted to a degree until we figure out how to deal with this.

The JEE exam in India is very advanced, I doubt most Europeans or US students could pass it, even after a year or two at university. So those who enter IIT are already quite good very early.
> Using TXT would be ridiculously insecure as it cannot force the DNSSEC verification step that SSHFP as a unique record gives.

I don't believe that that is true. DNSSEC RRSIG records are created over the entire result set. So even if there are numerous records returned, you should still be able to verify the signature. Also, there is nothing stopping you from also returning multiple SSHFP records in a single query.

However, SPF does have a design flaw (amongst many other) that the record is placed under the domain root, which is often already polluted with other records. This is why other standards that use TXT (DMARC, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, TLSRPT, etc.) use a specific label prefix, or a selector. But this is not because of DNSSEC.
The average HN user seems to be a fervent Linux fan, so maybe I can give some perspective as someone who isn't.

I used Linux for around 5 years, with Arch as my distro of choice, after which I switched to Windows 11. Most of the time, I didn't face any problems - but the problems I did face sometimes took me hours and hours to solve.

And there were always issues that were basically unfixable: hibernate, battery life, security, CPU drivers, hardware acceleration etc. I say basically here, because I could have spend hundreds of hours to address some of these things, but I'd still end up with something very brittle and maintenance intensive.

Some people will immediately point out that I should have been using a more "User friendly" distro like Ubuntu, but Arch has been the most stable and easiest to maintain distro of any that I tried. With Ubuntu and its ilk, the inevitable issue would take me ages to track down, because I had to first fight my way through a dozen layers of abstraction and figure out which of the hundreds of packages was the culprit. No, a simple and minimal install has always served me best with Linux.

And yes, I tried other distros - every single major one - and I faced the same (or similar) issues in all of them.

And outside of the OS, the entire Linux philosophy seems to be as user-unfriendly as possible. Packages, because they're maintained by someone in their free time, are very barebones and need extensive configuration to function. Which is especially annoying because I constantly needed to edit config files, each one with it's own unique syntax that required multiple Google searches to discover (and rediscover if some time had passed).

With Windows, the only true issue I faced was with the telemetry. I bought an enterprise license, disabled it all, validated it with some external tools - and the problem was solved. I never saw ads, slowness or any UI/UX problems.

And the benefits were numerous, I now had access to high-quality, powerful software for free. And these programs were easily configurable and usable - no googling necessary! On Linux, I sometimes wondered how so many people could quickly create graphics and audio, because that was always an incredible chore on Linux. Now it feels like a breeze, almost as if I've been catapulted a century forward.

In fact, the reason why I switched was because there was a very insidious hardware problem that I couldn't track down on Linux, even after spending months on it. When I installed Windows on my secondary drive (to update my BIOS), I found the problem in one minute using ThrottleStop.

And security wise, Windows is also far superior. Aside from the obvious Linux vulnerabilities, Windows allowed me to spin up lightweight sandboxes with system integration to isolate browser tabs or files I downloaded. As someone that used QubesOS for some time, this really impressed me.

All in all I see no reason to go back, the only thing I miss is i3, and how it made using a single screen feel just as productive as using three.
Roko's basilisk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk
I've been watching the behind the scenes stuff from the LotR extended editions. The Weta Workshop people were true craftsmen and women, dedicated and creative and really inspiring. Now I'm imagining two people just prompting a machine over and over and to be honest it's a really sad vision of a sad, boring future. Give me hippies carving Treebeard out of polystyrene over AI generated digital perfection any day.
I make a conscious effort not to read any generic news and this would drive me insane. Even reading something like hackernews, there is a time and a place for that.
Well why not with the same type? Sounds like an arbitrary restriction: you can use this idiom, but only sometimes.
I feel ChatGPT "understands" the vast majority of things better than me, which is very worrying. It's only going to get better too.
Proton was not the experience I wanted on a steam deck. I had to dig way down into comments on proton.db to find the configs that would stop games from crashing or what not. It was getting to the point where I needed notes with links to configs and Reddit comments to get certain games working.

I sold my steam deck because I don’t have the time to play switch, desktop, and steam deck. Proton configs were one of the reasons I chose to sell the deck instead of the switch or desktop.

The proton configs worked and I was surprised they made a big difference. They made unplayable games playable. I’m just not trying to debug pleasure activities.
I was speaking recently to a graphic artist who is terrified of Stable Diffusion and the like. I mentioned that these tools can augment their ability to do work instead of just replacing, but their point is that they are a graphic artist because they like doing the things that the AI will be replacing. Being a prompt engineer wasn't really the reason they studied and learned to become an artist. To me, that is a completely reasonable way to feel.
It is definitely a very popular opinion in the Eastern Europe, for example.
it is a problem that whether AI generate a code under copyright. but FOSS developer don't need to worry about this.
>Next up is saving money. Most people can save an incredible amount of money on food by changing how they cook.

Fortunately we are fine on food. We have over a year of food in our pantry and make everything from scratch already :). We'll get food out for birthdays, valentines day, and our anniversary next month (we always get BW3 on our anniversary because we had it the night before we were married). We don't have to buy anything but just $10-15 of fresh produce a week makes a world of difference to our food storage. We were also lucky enough to already have all of our seeds for this year too and we always keep a few years of lids on hand.

I use a corded electric mower, for the same reasons another poster gave: they are very light, inexpensive compared to a ICE mower, and just go. They are fine for a 1000m2 block.

But if you have something bigger, then this works:

https://egopowerplus.com.au/zero-turn-riding-mower-zt4204e-l/

I also have a corded air blower, battery driven weed trimmer, and battery chain saw. Granted, the battery versions are expensive and as heavy as their ICE counterparts. But they are quieter, and more reliable. If battery technology continues to improve (especially if LiS gets out of the lab), I'd say the end is neigh for small ICE engines.
The internet has always been a too good to be true kind of thing, a black swan of human history where the lords and kings and priests didn't control every aspect of the slave's life, it took them 2 to 3 decades but eventually the kings and priests will control our lives.

Of course the reason is because god or X or Y or national security or Z but they'll do it and we'll believe their reasons.
1. If you've been working for 26 years, no one will care about your degree. Finish it if you want, but it's safe to say it isn't going to matter for your job search.

2. A job is just a thing you do to get money. You won't be the only person who does something else for a while as you job hunt.

3. Retrain. This is a great time to adopt new sills. We have probably seen the end of the CRUD era, and a lot of folks will be learning this the hard way.
I keep seeing lots of parallels between believing in God and blackbox AI systems. Especially in forums like lesswrong. Ironic, because most people there would be offended if you told them they are religious.
Intel 80386 CPU Information
I don't know why being able to represent a great number of sounds with a relatively small set of characters is a bad thing, if English had to have separate signs for every single sound in the language, even if we didn't count loanwords, that would still be about 50 or 60 characters. And with it, well, why don't we just adopt the syllabary of the Japanese, which can almost never accurately represent loan-words phonetically. To my point, there is not a single script, aside from the IPA, that can represent more sounds than Roman script in English, because there is no direct correspondence between spelling and sound value.
That’s the point, you can because rust supports intra-scope shadowing.

If it didn’t you’d have to type-erase, or create a new independently-named binding for every step, as you do in e.g. Erlang (can’t say this is / was my favourite feature of the langage).
Not a fan of this one since it only works on templates and requires special code

Why aren't they simply namespaced, like `core.some_function`?
I’ve wondered for a bit if there’s a future where Windows turns into A Linux distribution with some extra tools and runtimes for legacy executables. Microsoft has some really expensive software it has to maintain. Office is also maintained on multiple platforms, but it feels like Windows is starting to be a drag on the company - lots of resources for not a lot of income. As wild as it would be, offloading a lot of dev to the OSS community would free up resources to differentiate their product.
That still ultimately refers to physical objects like human minds and printed symbols.

If you want a purely abstract statement, "the square root of four is two" does better.
From experience linear controls is probably more popular because there's a larger set of tools in the toolbox, so to speak, and the nature of the systems is that this is (usually) close enough for modelling nonlinear systems which are close enough to linear (in fact you may introduce nonlinear terms in your controller to try to remove nonlinearities in your system). It's not just having a 'proof' of stability, it's having methods to analyse the system and optimise the controller, which are much more difficult to apply in general to non-linear systems. It's much like how engineers will generally just stick to classical models of physics despite them being 'wrong', because in practice they are close enough and also much easier to deal with.
I can‘t believe the citizens of a country have to stand up against mass surveillance every few years. This is nonsense. I guess we‘ll see more approaches like Signal and crypto where digital policy is being executed upon without the involvement of corrupt lawyers.
Name classification with ChatGPT: How does it compare to ML language models?
In this blog post, I explore the problem of name classification with ChatGPT and 3 ML models of increasing complexity (logistic regression, FastAI LSTM, and HuggingFace DistilBERT).

ChatGPT delivers the best accuracy of them all with no model training, just prompt engineering. It classifies 100k names in 18 minutes for under $5.

We see a lot of ChatGPT chat examples, but here I show how to use its API to solve an actual text classification problem (albeit a simple one).

GPT is transforming tasks that required deep machine learning knowledge into software + prompt engineering problems. As a data scientist, I’m not worried about it taking over my job, as predictive modelling is only a small aspect of what a data scientist does.

I think the Google Sheets devs would agree with you that spreadsheets shouldn't be used for anything serious. That's why it's missing such basic features as an X/Y scatter plot with a line - which is trivial in any other spreadsheet program.

Personally when I have a few dozen data points and I want an X/Y plot with a line, I find a spreadsheet is a better tool than MySQL.
> The corruption of EU politicians is a major concern

Yes. I never said otherwise.

> then they should certainly have to defend why they get any privacy at all

That's the funny bit: they won't. They - and their family - will have the same if they use the same platforms. Which is why I firmly believe this isn't about corruption, this is about false beliefs and zealots who genuinely believe the internet and open communication is bad.
Multiple desktops is a big one for me.
Windows 11 Pro retails for $200, but behaves as if it were free and makes you a product.

MacOS is locked in to vendor's hardware.

Linux's support for closed source drivers is not that great.

I wish there was an open source OS with stable driver ABI, so even closed source driver blobs would work for decades.
Although namespacing them keeps them out from under a programmer's feet, which is a significant benefit, it does seem like this would make it harder to find stuff.

Quality of output does not mean that the process is genuine. A well-produced movie with good actors may depict a war better than footage of an actual war, but that is not evidence of an actual war happening. Statistical LLMs are trying really hard at "acting" to produce output that looks like there is genuine understanding, but there is no understanding going on, regardless of how good the output looks.
Since this also requires the same heuristics, it could be just an option: orm.unroll(“auto|throw|none”). Would suit you, me and a commenter who wants hundreds of requests as they wrote.
