Yeah.

Having discovered this dynamic through careful observation of my animals, story seems appropriate. A session with the cat yields:

Who: Me

What: Trip away from pack

When: Today, more days maybe

Where: Various places, work, car, outside places

Why: Who knows what the cat thinks. She does differentiate a trip away from a food run

How: in that moving thing

And me with the cat:

Who: Cat

What: romp in flower beds or play with squirrels (they leave a different scent and the moss on the trees helps) Fight with that other cat.

When: recently

Where: grassy yard, trees, across the street

Why: Cat bored playful finds squirrels. Enemy cat entered our territory, etc...

How: On foot, maybe through fence.

Given some time observing, smelling, listening, one can get a pretty great sense of the day!

One other thing I should say is animals are like us, just simpler. Their every move communicates! They lack the layers of abstraction needed to make it otherwise.

I can gather a lot from a few minutes spent close, feeling, watching, smelling, watching the cat move and vocalize.

I find the whole thing remarkable! And it was the cat who educated me!

If I pull up in the car and do not roll my window down, I get the look. If I do, then she is happy to jump in and exchange events of the day, essentially adding me to her story.

The question sometimes happens. Usually, it is that paw on my chest when I get up to leave. Looks for all the world like, "hold on, I haven't got it all yet, or "this is new, WTF?

Don't get me wrong. Not all animals are that high functioning. We have a couple and in my experience the more we try to interact and the less inhibited we are about all the ways, rubbing, smelling, etc... the more a higher functioning animal will respond with their own efforts.

I only wish I had this insight earlier in life! My animal interactions are far more rich than they were before.

Yes, let us flex these things a little and appreciate these beings here with us.
Can you imagine why someone might not want software containing their passwords and credit cards to stream data to a central server under the control of whoever wrote that software?
We have actually created a few USB/wired versions of our device, specifically with gaming latency concerns in mind! We made a version for our friend and Augmental champion, Rocky NoHands (https://twitter.com/RockyNoHands), to complement his QuadStick gaming setup. In our test sessions together, there were no battery power issues as the wired prototype uses the USB for both communication and power. With that prototype, we had the added benefit of being able to debug simultaneously over Bluetooth without interfering with any USB data transmission. You can watch Rocky play Apex using this wired version as a Left Analog Input (movement commands) in a few clips in our promotional video. Hopefully one day in the future we will be able to offer a wired version of the MouthPad^ to our customers!
Also, as we optimize our firmware to support improved power-saving techniques, we hope to see our current battery lifetimes increase from ~5.5 hours.

> Mac/Apple only customers have this strong inclination for some kind of Stockholm syndrome when it comes to software

For decades, Mac users didn't have the same software choices that Windows users had, and a lot of what was available were shitty ports. When a company released high-quality Mac software, it was noticed and appreciated by Mac users.

Obviously that situation has changed in a post-iPhone world, but the culture of appreciating when someone made a really great Mac-native app is still there for a lot of people.
> Google indisputably has a monopoly over web search: ~93% market share. (I'll never understand why we've done nothing legally about this.)

What do you suggest we do over this ? Forbid some people to search on Google ? Or give each user X queries / day then say "please use another search engine; here are some alternatives ...".

The laws are against monopolies abusing their power. As long as it's trivial to change provider we are in the clear; but the trouble come if a company uses their position to gain an unfair advantage. For example if Google says "You have to un-index you site from bing otherwise we will apply a ranking penalty on your search results".

But "being the default choice with a trivial switch possible" is hardly an abuse of power.
ONNX is the ML interchange format - it's supposed to be a framework independent way to share ML models and weights. ONNX Runtime is a runtime for running those ONNX format models. And it's quite performant - probably the more performant ML runtimes currently.

Apple will be required to "allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of third-party software applications".

IANAL, but I doubt a policy of "sideloading is allowed, but only for apps that we approve and/or developers who pay us" would be considered compliant with that.

They could enforce some sort of signature requirement, but if they tried to force developers into some sort of business relationship before being able to sign, that seems like failing to allow third-party software.

Mark Rober is easily one of the most popular science/engineering channels on Youtube. I find the corniness a bit irritating and lacking in detail, but he gets tens of millions of views so he’s doing something right. I get the impression that his audience skews young, so that probably explains why it’s not as interesting to technically inclined adults.

I try not to complain about the content because much of it is genuinely pretty impressive from a technical perspective. I would be unsurprised to see technical leaders ten years from now citing him as an inspiration though
Re: “it’s doesn’t fucking work”.

That's not the same thing at all.

It absolutely needed to know who the successor would be via training data.

But to know that "The Queen of England died" also means that the head of state of Australia has changed means that it has an internal representation of those relationships.

(Another way of seeing this is with multi-modal models where the visual concepts and word concepts are related enough it can map between the two.)
Sorry for any implied snark. I don't think it's a special set of skills, just a different default and preferred mode of experiencing human connection that some of us ended up with.
It genuinely sounds like you are generally not aware of the common definitions of the words you’re using. You seem to just be…intuiting them, and using that as the basis for some sort of legal argument.
I actually wonder how people manage to get rid of these bugs, and why they aren't more spread considering how resilient they are. It's so hard to get rid of them that they should be literally everywhere.

I moved to an apt in NYC that had bedbugs. Probably not that many because I cleaned the place inside out so many times and I could rarely spot one. Eventually, I called an exterminator but the bugs were back a couple of months later. I eventually left this place. I'm super paranoid since then.
There is food-grade diatomaceous earth (an anti-caking agent) which is completely safe for humans. But the whole idea of it is it's very jagged little dead sea creatures that tear insects to shreds, so breathing it is not advised.

Ryzen 7 is the high end of the gaming market in AMDs offerings.

"However, generative AI could lead to job displacement in fields such as programming and copywriting."

I haven't stubbed my toe on the former yet, but I agree it's not great. I'm mainly storing media, photos, etc. (relatively not compressible) so the latter doesn't matter much to me. I think that's probably a common use case for a drive you can read anywhere, so I still like ExFAT for that, generally speaking.
Star Trek V absolutely exists, if it didn’t, I wouldn’t have anything to point to to explain why I ignore Shatner when he tries to say how Gene Roddenberry would disapprove of things in modern Trek.
If Android didn’t exist, some other OS would take its place. Samsung would have developed its own most likely, which would at this stage probably resemble something very similar to what we have today. Only difference is that Google would have been in a position more similar to the one it faces with Apple.

I agree also the point you are making. If Apple somehow commanded 90+% of the smartphone market then they would likely face much regulation.
However you describe it, that's not how I experience vision, and as far as I know, not typical.

If you leave, the bugs will stay safe wherever they are since there won't be any host to attract them. And the eggs are most likely in tiny hole and won't be affected by the diatomaceous earth. Maybe it'll help to reduce the colony, but I'm skeptical it'll solve the problem.
The average electric blower is a lot less powerful than the average gas one. When you find an electric with comparable power the noise is similar. You cannot move a lot of air through a small pipe without making a lot of noise, this is physics (there are things you can do to make it better, but they have limited ability).

Old electric just couldn't get the power out of mains or a nicad battery. Newer li ion batteries can deliver more power and thus electric blowers are useful.

Don't get me wrong, gas engines are noisy as well, and so gas blower are louder, the difference isn't that much though.
One thing to note with diatomaceous earth is it works best with an even dusting. You don't want to just spread clumps. Many but not all bags come with a little device for spraying it as a nice fine dust.
GCC 13 and the State of Gccrs
I generally think micro services are a bad idea, partly because it’s so useful to share data and code implicitly.

Somewhat more macro services can make sense, especially when each team owns a service. That’s also when sharing data is harder.
When is it better to use a composite primary key instead of a single unique primary key? In the context of SQL, it just seems like there are negligible storage space differences. Obviously you can still index and have unique constraints on the columns from the would be composite index.

I sought out discussion in the past and I recall similar conclusions. I suppose it really seems superfluous for a join table but other than that it seems like a unique primary key is a good practice.
Choosing a company that works on interesting tech problems is probably the path here. It may need to be specific teams/projects within the company too.

FWIW, I was a longtime 1P user and evangelist, and I moved to BitWarden instead of 1P8. The UX isn't as good, but I was giving up a native experience either way, and BitWarden is cheaper.

> Thinking step by step, if King Charles III and his son William abdicate who will be head of state of Australia.

My response (with chatGPT) is:

Firstly, it's important to note that Australia is a constitutional monarchy, which means that the monarch of the United Kingdom is also the monarch of Australia.

If King Charles III were to abdicate, the next in line to the throne is his eldest son, Prince William, who would become the King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms, including Australia.

However, if both King Charles III and Prince William were to abdicate, the next in line to the throne is Prince William's eldest child, Prince George. If Prince George is still a minor at the time of the abdication, a regent would be appointed to serve as head of state until he comes of age.

It's worth noting that abdications of this nature are rare and would likely only occur in exceptional circumstances. Additionally, any decision regarding abdication would be made by the monarch themselves and would be subject to the laws and customs of the country in question.
I got two methods in one response, first a walkthrough of installing and using the FPDF library, and then again for PyPDF2.

But, the code for FPDF was incorrect, and pypdf2 is so old that even the deprecation warning causes an error. I fed the FPDF error back in and the output was still wrong, but close enough that I could figure out an answer. Not faster than just googling for sample code though.
Oof. Unkind. Hopefully not accurate.
Umm. Well, if you turn up for Mass on April 17 at St. Patrick's in downtown Washington, DC, you will see a number of users wearing sashes of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and when you leave, you will see some young women doing step dances before the door.

It's a long game. We're in the middle of it. Daily vacuuming, steam treatments, diatomaceous earth spray, and commercial exterminators have all been used. I think we're starting to see progress.
It's apparently not correct to call it the "original" reference in any case:

> I, too, was confused to hear this new version of an old bit of folk wisdom, and went to check up on it. The Oxford English Dictionary finds derogatory usages for redneck—when defined as “a poorly educated white person working as an agricultural laborer or from a rural area in the southern United States, typically considered as holding bigoted or reactionary attitudes”—much earlier than 1921: 1891, 1904, 1913. What gives?

[...]

> This history of disputation around the uses of the term is what’s most interesting here, and it’s also what resists a “just-so” story about the word’s origins. Catte pointed me to a 2006 article by historian Patrick Huber in the journal Western Folklore that she said formed the basis for her own interpretation. Huber’s argument—that redneck, in the 1910s through the 1930s, sometimes meant “Communist,” or at least “a miner who was a member of a labor union,” especially one on strike—made it clear that this usage was a strategic reclamation of a word that had been used as a slur. Some union organizers, Huber found, used red bandanas and the term redneck as a way to culturally integrate groups of white, black, and immigrant miners—who were often set against each other by owners eager to divide labor’s power—into a single identity. Because miners often wore red handkerchiefs to protect their faces and necks from coal dust, the bandana was a symbol of labor that was universal among ethnicities and races.

Ask HN: Have you fine-tuned LLMs to know the contents of a specific code base?
I am interested in trying to make LLMs know the contents of my project, so it can know what classes/functions/variables there are outside the current file/prompt. The first idea for "adding" knowledge of the code base (assuming it is too large to fit into the prompt) would be to fine-tune the LLM on the code. Has anyone tried this or knows of any work on it?

>Some context for those who aren't in the loop: ONNX Runtime (https://onnxruntime.ai/) is a standardization format for AI models.

It's just an IR, one of many - every framework has its own.

>Nowadays, it's extremely easy to export models in the ONNX format, especially language models with tools like Hugging Face transformers which have special workflows for it.

Meh it's poorly supported by both PyTorch and TF. Why support Microsoft's IR when you have your own.

>probably the most performant ML runtime at this point.

Not even by a long-shot - first party compilers are generally faster because of smoother interop but even amongst third-party you have TRT and TVM. TBH I have no idea what anyone uses ONNX for these days (legacy?).
I believe that principle only holds when the "bullshit" generation is tactical, as opposed to stemming from either confusion, a different sampling of existing facts, or different values. It seems against the spirit of HN to assume the first option?
>Without forcing consolidation, how would one do this?

Use the wildly popular technique that has taken over the assessment of everything else too big to measure: the random sample. Every registered technician will enter each job performed into a lottery, which will be reviewed by a qualified analyst. A single bad finding shouldn't ruin anyone, but a good record keeping methodology with appropriate sampling and a suitable penalty for failing to register a job — registration will likely be demanded by consumers anyway — should effectively weed out any laggards.

I am not aware of this being implemented for any home maintenance, but this is how hospital accreditation is done. Every now and then The Joint Commission shows up and inspects stuff.
there is no roadblock to it besides no developers being interested in doing it, you can sideload anything you want (though you are limited to an absurd degree unless you pay apple $100/yr for a developer license), you can even do things like enable JIT for sideloaded apps so even that limitation doesn't exist for sideloading browsers. several emulators, like dolphin, already have working JITs on ios devices.
Apartments must be horrible for this. Unless everyone treats for them they'll keep coming back.
I just wish HN would stop showing the main post in light gray. I have no idea why they do this; it makes it look like the main post is down-voted.
Thanks for the kind words.

Those options you named will mainly change the specific performance characteristics but not have any impact on architectural matters. I.E. they’ll give you a bit more or less oomph out of a node but typically not make or break your app design.

If you look at the GitHub benchmark I linked, you’ll see how the specific parameters I was referring to give order of magnitude changes in performance whereas eg something like using mmap over distinct syscalls will likely only give you single- or low double-digit gains depending on your configuration (more with speculative execution workarounds enabled on older hardware, less without or on newer).

(Synchronous isn’t an pragma option that you can just enable or disable since it has actual ACID ramifications - i.e. either your usage will let you do it or it won’t.)
Any that actually makes you read a book and not pass with a simple google search.
