Macron did not insult the US, like the other comments said.

The US regularly insult EU though (the Iran crisis regarding nuclear for instance), and do not particularly care to be nice.

The US also fund a lot of NATO, UN etc. so we (Europeans) are rather powerless.

This is all theater and drama as I see it.
> A small correction - Russia cut off EU from gas, not the other way round

Do people in Europe actually believe that to be the case? Is this yet another "Russia blew up its own billion dollar industry" thing again?

> it will probably lead to Russia cutting off the gas supply

So, the supply disruptions have absolutely nothing to do with Europe freezing payments and accounts, as well as disrupting all the ecosystem around the industry with sanctions?

You can't really live in a reality where you both claim yourself to be a victim of a countries supply disruptions and lead an economic war against it, right? How is that not doublethink?

> The ballsy part was that EU was leading a foreign policy (support for Ukraine)

We now publicly (thanks to Merkel's and Hollande's confessions) know that EU had been preparing to a full scale war under the guise of peace agreements. "Ballsy" is an ironic way to describe this situation, especially when any talk of negotiations or even a ceasefire gets shunted at.

Getting around on an electric bike will prolong your life. I bike on good infrastructure and it makes all the difference, you see kids bicycle 7km to soccer practice. Two months every year I go to an area such as you describe and while it feels dangerous it really isn't that bad. The stress can be bad if you let it, but as long as you accept it and try to see everything nice that happens you are ok.

Try it out.

If we wanted to generalize this further, attention is 'just' an instance of graph convolution, encoder-only models like Bert are complete graphs, decoder-only models like GPT are still complete graphs but the information flow is not bi-directional as in Bert; instead a node provides information to all subsequent nodes only giving rise to the causal nature.

However, I don't think Hebbian learning will see a resurgence except maybe if it motivates some kind of pruning mechanism.

This. Most groups are casual, but they all have their own styles. One is a trail run where we stop every mile or so for a few minute break (if needed). Another is a 'meet at starbucks at 8am and we'll see you at 9am for coffee' where everyone runs their own pace/distance, sometimes shared, sometimes not. Another is hill repeats where walking is also 'acceptable' and we chat at the bottom and top and wait for walkers so they don't feel alone (and we get more time to rest :)

#opensource in times of #recession

#OSS usually does well in recession times. Why? Because companies look into cheaper solutions available to reduce their costs.

By the way, the greatest open-source success stories such as #RedHat or #JBoss happened following the dot-com crash in the 2000.

According to a recent survey from Red Hat, open-source software is steadily growing and is expected to outperform the proprietary software overall in the upcoming years.

Let’s see why open source is the smart choice in recession times!

1⃣ Reduce licensing costs
2⃣ Flexibility over the hosting options
3⃣ Interoperability
4⃣ No vendor lockin
5⃣ Greener, more sustainable option

It seems like the author could be looking at your method at the statement level, for example. What does that if/else do? One thing or two? What does this say about the method?

But as I commented elsewhere, there's not a lot of attention to topical scope in the article either, so it also sets out to do the metaphorical "one thing", and then somehow merges with the broader philosophical world...
>You don't pay for the operating system

What do you mean? Windows 11 costs money. The cheapest version is around $100 in Hungary.

It's not even free when bundled to stuff - backchannel business deals take care of that.

So we both pay, and also we are the product. Always have been, I believe.

True, but you don't need Twitter's permission to start doing journalism on Twitter (nor do you have to care much about how they label you).

You absolutely need NBC's permission before you can start doing journalism on NBC.

My whole point was that governments don't need to get heavy handed to get a compliant press, since they can engineer it up front. The important filtering of news happens not at the desk, but at the hiring.
Wasn't it established that the whole sales spiel was geared towards criminals? If Yahoo mail was largely aimed at criminals I wouldn't have a huge problem with police having a look.

> Also, if you're using an encrypted /boot, stop now - very recent versions of grub2 support LUKS2, but they don't support argon2id, and this will render your system unbootable.

That's rather unfortunate. My knowledge of key derivation algorithms is a bit out of date, so can someone confirm that if an old volume is still using PKBDF2 headers you can still get some benefits upgrading to argon2i? Or are both of them equally useless at this point in time?

I've always wondered why the key algorithm depends on the speed of the CPU, this makes cheaper devices or handheld devices less secure for a second or two of extra boot time.
DRY is probably my least favourite programming meme. There are far too many overzealous juniors who learned it and have a bee in their bonnet about creating absurd abstractions around any two lines of code (or config) that have vague or imagined similarities, locking in all sorts of annoying indirection.

> I’ve attempted this prompt several different ways on ChatGPT without a working solution, but I imagine this could work.

I've tried a couple of things, it seems OK with a basic approach but starts falling apart when you get close to 50 bits. A more interesting merge approach looks OK at 50 with some quick testing. What sort of scale do you mean when you talk about a working solution?

Edit - stats may not be holding up the merge approach at 50. It's close, sometimes getting it right or being one out.

Ask HN: How do I get a deep understanding of the Telecoms domain?
I'm 5 years working in the Telecoms domain in the DevOps area specifically. I still don't have a good understanding of the systems I'm managing and I don't have a good enough understanding of the business side of Telecoms to hold a conversation.

I've read a couple of books. Maybe I'm less intelligent than I thought I was, but I can barely make it through a page of any book I've tried. Between the acronyms and technical talk from page 1, the barrier of entry seems too high to even begin learning it.

For those of you who have expertise in the Telecoms space, how do you recommend I build my own expertise to the point where I can hold a conversation with another expert in the industry? Do you have recommended books, courses, ways of learning etc?

Thanks in advance.
I've worked with people following the book to the letter and the quality of their work would vastly improve if they took the time to understand the catchy acronym. The author is not the only problem here.
Yeah, girl's night/guy's night does come with a certain expectation, or a stigma even. And is not a brunch. In Germany we actually have an established brunch time event class that literally translates to "morning pint" and, well, your imaginations are probably spot on. The safe path to not couple-centric is usually some form of hobby which tend to lean of gender or the other. And those who defy the gender stereotype will most likely be sufficiently deep into whatever it is to not fall into couple validation mode. But hobby-type pastimes that are also inviting to the noninitiated are indeed rare.
Or you could just get out of your house naked, without any money, and start riding your tall bike outside the city and asking for help. A french dude just filmed himself doing that a few years ago.

Joke aside, you don't even have to be nude or ride an eccentric bike. Touring without a motorized vehicle and asking for directions/food/shelter is a great way to start conversations and meet new people. And you don't need to go very far. If you are doing that walking you can meet and get new friends easily in a relatively close radius.

Because it's an artificial constraint that makes code worse. You end up with a whole bunch of functions that have only a single call-site and half a dozen parameters that don't make much sense. If you can only understand what a function does by looking at the call site then the function is no longer a self-contained piece of functionality and it shouldn't exist.

When you write very simple code you can have short functions that do one thing. When you work on more complex projects some functions will just be 300 lines long and breaking them up will just make the code harder to understand and harder to work with.

Take sqlite for instance: https://github.com/smparkes/sqlite/blob/master/src/vdbeaux.c

You'll find plenty of cases where functions do multiple things in sequence and those functions are long-ish because of it, and some "clean code" type programmers would feel compelled to refactor the code and make it way worse.
Linearly scanning a small array is very likely to be faster than looking up a key in a map. Especially if we factor in memory cost and not just speed.
I can't stand the insistence on "idiomatic". Taken to extreme it is essentially gate-keeping and dogma: "We have always done it so."
Maybe you learnt different things on your MBA than I did.
Yes, that is an issue. But I wonder if we need to get slightly more comfortable with paying for foundational tools. Docker is another one I'm happy to pay for, and I wish they'd got people paying 5 years ago.
Ask HN: What are opensource AI/LLM avaliable for generation of TODO from text.
I am developing a todo system for team which can understand text like this.

- show rarity in the ui list @joe , high proity.
- When stock is low , manufacuring order need to be automatically generated @Ashley , Urgently needed for +Warehouse project.

I just want to write like i would assign tasks to my team , but the it need to understand for example

Urgently as priority , High Priority as priority , @mention as assignees , +Project as project.

I could write a parser but , i would like it to be more intelligent.

What should i use? Spacy,Flair , Or LLMs? I want to host it my self for team so , CPU infrencing is necessary as my server dont have gpu.
There are plenty of code metrics. I'm not aware of any that I would recommend, though (other than basic ones like keep function LoC <= 50, keep indentation level <= 3). But if you're interested, you can research this topic. I saw tools for Java which measure those code metrics.

BBC has now (I'm not sure when) been changed from Government-funded to Publicly-funded (https://twitter.com/bbc). I'm not sure knowing that 'funded by' is as important as 'controlled by'. UK politicians from all sides are constantly complaining that the BBC is biased against them - which I guess shows some evidence of not being government controlled.

The Rupert Murdoch media empire (Fox News, Sky, Newspapers around the world) exerts editorial control to help their other business interests and their own editorial agenda. Should their twitter account be labeled "Murdoch Controlled"?

'evil'. Enough with the hyperbole.
why would it be hard to write methods that only do one thing?

Two big problems with this approach. First of all reasonable people can disagree on what "one thing" actually means. Let's say you want to take a csv file of numbers and return a numeric array-of-arrays. How many 'things' is that, 1 or 4 (read, parse, validate, convert)?

Secondly it is many time both computationally more efficient and 'aesthetic' to do everything in one in-line sweep rather than:

x=f(x)
x=g(x)
x=h(x)
...

While both approaches can be taken to extremes, I generally agree with what John Carmack wrote on the topic many years ago http://number-none.com/blow/blog/programming/2014/09/26/carm...
Agreed. Annoyingly the author does split up a very core idea to the next paragraph:

That sentence really should have been put into the introductory paragraph, instead of being the start of the 2nd.
All the wording on that meetup page says to me "come run with us". 3.5 miles and then back to Starbucks to chat for 25 minutes sounds just about right. Most people will have driven, so if you turn around earlier you can be back at starbucks for chatting.

It will take a few times of showing up to make friends. It kind of feels like walking into a workplace cafeteria where people eat together everyday, what they're talking about or laughing about is something they've talked or laughed about previously, so all the details are missing and they're just asking about X or Y updates.

I encourage you to go, at least a few times. Read "how to win friends and influence people" and "The Charisma Myth" before your first one if you need a "how the heck do I deal with new people" boost.

A lot of people, myself included, get tired of dealing with people as we get older.

We have to deal with people for the majority of our lives, especially during our schooling and working years. Once we've accumulated enough to retire into the countryside with no need to give a fuck to anyone it becomes a very appealing change of scenery.
Sometimes I think NYC is the worst of both worlds. Urbanist density, with surrounding sprawl and decaying transit with congested streets. It has large areas without good greenspace, while also being a good 60min by car / 90min by train from escaping the city to get to some nature.

The best parks you get are Central Park in Manhattan, or Prospect Park in Brooklyn, but they get pretty busy in the summer.. SNL had a pretty on-the-nose skit about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZhjIyGmrRQ

By contrast, European cities seem to have farms/parks/countryside much more in reach.

Further, in terms of "living near friends", spending almost 2 decades in NYC.. it's no more true than in the suburbs I grew up or the countryside I escape to on weekends. NYC is so sprawling, expensive, and transit so commute-oriented.. that outside a few years in your 20s.. your friends end up 30-90min away in all directions.

My wife's best friend lives in the same borough, and is a 40min drive from us. Worse by train, as we have to go back into Manhattan and transfer trains to get to her.

The closest any of our friends lived was 10 years ago when we were a 20min walk in UWS from my wife's other best friend.

Even for friends we made in the city at say the gym, we'd all live 20 blocks apart.
And of course work friends were commuting from all directions within and without the city.

"Blair was fairly restrained but after Brown came in, he opened the taps and government spending and borrowing skyrocketed. "

That's an odd framing of events considering Brown came in midway through 2007. Just before the 2008 GFC.

You make it sound like he went Brown went on a spending spree on a whim ... that isn't what happened. Any increased spending that took place when he became PM was easily within the scope of the UK economy. And considering National Debt was well managed until then (during a time when Brown was Chancellor), your recollection of what happened is wrong.

It wasn't, they only joined because Japan and later Nazi Germany declared war on them. If it was about "freeing" anyone, they would have stepped in much earlier.

And just to be clear, the US had a massive part of the Allied war effort against the Axis, but they didn't singlehandedly win the war or free anyone, it was a joint effort with similarly massive Soviet and British (and Commonwealth) parts. As a reminder, Britain spent months fighting alone, and the vast vast majority of German troops were always on the Eastern Front while the Western Allies fought against subpar foreign "volunteers" or third-rate recovering German troops on the continent.
