> We drink a ton of iced tea

I forgot about iced tea, but I'm under the impression that how popular it is depends on the region of the US you're talking about. I don't see a lot of people drinking iced tea in my area, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone make it for themselves.

Be somewhere where people congregate repeatedly. Regular at a pub, bouldering gym, arts meetup. Really anything where you'll see the same people consistently.

My rule of thumb that it takes something like 3 reasonable length conversations with someone in a short timespan (weeks to a couple months, short enough that you remember the person and their associated context each time) before you really exist to each other.

So ask yourself, what interests do I have that will facilitate this repeat interaction? Then you are left with the work of figuring out what groups and events exist, and actually going to them consistently.
I’m afraid htmlx might be repeating the same mistake that CORBA and DCOM made decades ago: pretending that latency doesn’t matter.

Yes you could make a CORBA or DCOM object almost indistinguishable from a local object, except for the latency when it was actually remote. And since it looked like a normal object it encountered “chatty” interface which exacerbated the latency cost.

Htmlx seems pretty chatty to me, which I’m sure works OK over the LAN, but what about the “real” internet?
I agree with using a single car for a household: my wife and I have done that for the past six years (living in Tennessee, Oregon, and Arizona) with a 2006 Toyota Highlander that we paid $7,000 in cash for. The last two years, we've had a baby/toddler. We've encountered a few (one or two per six months) situations where we might have _preferred_ another vehicle, but the inconvenience was so minor (I Ubered, or someone picked me up) that another vehicle couldn't remotely be justified. Recently we got a beat-up F-150 to haul lumber and soil, but don't use it day-to-day and have never _needed_ it as a second vehicle.

Regarding the sub-$5k car: it depends on your definition of "decent used car." Most people are unwilling to accept a used vehicle with a slightly broken interior or other minor issues. Just today, I was looking for comparative prices for a 2003 F-150 that I've got, and I found multiple in the $2-3k range in my area that are in good condition (running motor, A/C works, non-necessary repairs required). And that's a pickup truck: if you want a coupe or sedan, there are even more options below $3,000. You just need to be willing to accept some flaws: right now I've got several tabs open of good "A-to-B" cars with under 200k miles.

Once upon a time I would have suggested Meetup as a way to (as one would expect) meet people interested in similar hobbies. Sadly, it's gone badly downhill since they started charging to run groups, leaving only the most dedicated people and the ones who are just using it as advertising for their paid events.
I asked it to generate a travel plan including restaurants for a trip I’m considering. What it generated included some places that were now closed, but it was an excellent starting point, and it beat my usual approach of a Google search of the area and tapping random places in the area.

> the government doesn't want to cause 'too much' discomfort among ordinary citizens

This! I've yet to meet an Indian who doesn't have WhatsApp and we all know that pretty much every Indian with a phone uses it. We're not talking about a little discomfort, we're talking a lot. There's almost half a billion users. Government can't bad WhatsApp without a major freakout, so they're going after small players. It wasn't long ago that even Signal AND WhatsApp were pushing back against these laws and what resulted is more Signal downloads (tens of millions of users in India)

How do you mean, support mmap efficiently? Do you mean being able to close the mapping without a GC? If so then Panama is fixing that.

I agree it's not designed to JIT machine code. To sandbox that it may be better to use a flyweight CPU-level VM anyway.

Yes, C can do anything and if it does stuff like trying to disassemble itself, then that will clearly fail. But then you could argue it's not really written in C.
> Please read the first paragraph of the wikipedia article, it'll clarify the issue.

No. It doesn't. Because we have the school boards saying this in this in their own words and publishing them in their policy updates. All the "limited in value" stuff in the Wiki article is about ad-hoc and poorly collected evidence and that doesn't apply here. We're pointing to their own words.

> chat with your representative with all this wonderful evidence

It's perfect evidence. It's their own policy statements with their own justification.

A lot of people are like you initially but when they actually read the policies they come around - race-based rules are something most people feel icky about.

I've seen people rudely dismiss a pamphlet about this from a white parent only to happily read and engage when approached by an asian parent only moments later. That's racist, but I understand because all the news pumps out is a constant stream of partisan race-baiting and it takes many people a while to turn off that defensiveness.

> or they will gladly answer all your questions

No, usually they refuse to let us even get on the agenda for meetings.

> I'm sure you'll change their mind

Thankfully we don't have to talk to our representatives when they're this dismissive, we can simply vote them out and we have been.

But usually we find that at least half of them felt railroaded into these blatantly racist policies by a bunch of small frog-boiling policies and they're grateful for an opportunity to put things back in order.
I was actually planning to do some travel this year, but my nice paying job was eliminated late last year followed by some large emergency expenses. I’d still like to do it, but the economic situation looks kind of grim right now.
I got nausea when playing wolfenstein. so yeah, I wasn't that interested until doom hit.
Well executed! I had a similar idea in mind, except doing an independent summary of what went on in the parliament. The data is available at https://parliamentlive.tv . Subtitles are available but the AI would need to remember speaker names and voices to know who said what.
It's quite fast if you've got 240v outlets in your kitchen. Otherwise it's a little slower, altho I do like being able to hit a button and wander away to do something else, which I never feel comfortable doing when something's on the flame.
Agree. I always find some interesting and new FE approaches/methodologies in these random HTMX threads and it’s awesome.
There is a potentially valid criticism here since this is ultimately about what the school (with its tremendous resources) is choosing to focus its efforts on. Stanford's previous global climate and energy project was famously funded by oil companies (though I suspect this was mostly a PR thing for them in previous decades), so this is not surprising. But should their priorities be those of the school?

Also some interesting things happening behind the scenes where they are clearly keeping faculty from certain 'troublesome' departments out of the process.. but that's not really unusual in the university context.

On the flip side, I think folks are also over-estimating the importance of corporate sources of funding here. The real reason for this focus is on government funding and resources on this topic that the school will want to tap into.
What kind of QPS are you looking at? How are you handling 1536 dimensions? How long does an incremental index update take? These are the problems you run into in building such a system.
We made VLA types and derived types (variably modified types) mandatory in C23. (but not VLAs on the stack as automatic variables which are still optional)
In the Feds, you have 14 days to appeal your sentence. That is not fair access to a check. That time includes transfer from the court to a Federal Detention Center (lots of holding cell time with no access to a law library), transfer from a Federal Detention Center to your final place of incarceration via diesel therapy, etc. The USA used to allow unlimited time for appeals but that was clogging up the courts, so a happy balance between 0 and unlimited time to exercise your rights to access to the courts was agreed to, which the American Federal justice system determined to be 14 days (fun fact, they actually originally tried for a shorter appeal period than 14 days).

Edit: Sorry, 14 days for the defendant to appeal. The Feds team gets longer (because they have less resources than a locked up person I guess, some animals have more rights than others in American courts)

You’re blaming Musk for a wave of layoffs in the tech industry? That he gave permission to other companies to do it? Are you saying the layoffs made good business sense but somehow these companies were prevented from doing so? What was preventing them? Was that factor “correct” or “healthy”?
More than that I’m wondering if I’m just living in the wrong places. The place I live right now is generally more associated with retirees, but I’ve never really made a conscious choice to move somewhere. I’ve just drifted where job offers take me.
I've found that having something to share or help with makes you feel like you deserve to be there a bit easier - and makes most situations less awkward. By this I mean volunteering for example. Going to volunteer or hold signs at events that fit with your convictions is a great way to meet likeminded people.

I've met many great people and have built a network from people I've met at protests and events - if you're spending an hour or two next to someone holding signs, it's likely you'll chat!

Having common goals (or being part of an organisation) helps as well!

For animal rights for example, I know that Anonymous for the Voiceless events are open to everyone and (if you are into animal rights) you'll probably make friends. (This is a couple years back I don't know how it is today). Helping out at your nearby animal sanctuary is a great idea as well!
Yeah, I agree, I am a geek though and wanted a linux machine with arm so I could do some assembly hacking on it (nothing serious). Just the general geek factor I think makes a lot of people buy it.

I use the Argon case with ssd over usb, since the sd cards failed like after 2 weeks. For me it is perfect, I get to host all my minimal things (vpn, ssh over it, host photos, videos, run a few services) and it is like super energy efficient, although that efficiency is more of an ego boost than actual use.

I think there are a lot of atom mini pcs which have normal ethernet and m2 connectors that are a better alternative.
I agree, the vast majority of people moving to Bluesky don't understand their history and now appear to be doomed to repeat it.

What kind of QPS are you getting and how fast are incremental index updates? That's the hard part.
It's not sanctimonious. It's trying to stop people killing our kids.

A number of such events have occurred.

I haven't actually heard of anyone moderated off an instance (aside from spammers), but maybe I hang with the "wrong" crowd for that.
"phishing" of this type is unfortunately a common problem on Tor because the design of hidden services makes it very difficult for a user to validate where they're connecting. It's totally possible that this situation is not malicious but it sure is sketchy and is similar to a lot of malicious fronting that you can find on Tor for popular services. I consider this a major defect of the hidden service design but there's only so much motivation to address it.
The trick is to change the package-lock.

What you do it fork a popular package that the project uses and make some changes.

Then update the package-lock so that it points to your GitHub fork.

This file is normally ignored in PR due to the amount of line changes in there so you can have quite a bit of fun.

One thing that has worked is taking the effort. Make a phone call to that old school friend. Ask coworkers to go out for a drink after work. Inviting neighbours to watch a game over food. Joining a local deep learning meetup. We have to take the extra effort to overcome the social anxiety. Rejection is absolutely fine. Respect their space and move on without hard feeling.

One interesting thing is modern society has broken all of us. Human beings are not evolved to stay in isolation in a place so far from where you grew up. Loneliness is affecting everyone. So when you take the extra effort, you are also filling their gap.

You're right that it's a script, but it does have some intricacies that require a lot of testing to get it right. Examples:

Using LLMS:

- formulate the right prompts for the intro and outro generation

- pass the content of a post in segments while maintaining history, as if you do in one go you will exceed token limit

- figure out how to integrate comments properly

- turn the summary into spoken format, not condensed written

Using TTS:
- train the right voice, one that fits the content. Not all voices of a TTS engine have the same characteristics.

- understand the bugs of the TTS engine. For example Elevenlabs that we're using (and its beyond amazing overall and the team fantastic), is struggling when given this "$2.5". It will read it out "dollar 2(long pause) 5".

- a few more things

Overall:

- Figure out how to connect all of the different segments, music intros, outros etc
Going purely by the benchmarks from OP - you can essentially consider MPT equivalent to LLaMa. It might be better/worse depending on the specific task but not by much.

So compared to GPT3.5 - it's not great at all. That said, LLaMa showed significant improvements via fine-tuning and I expect those to apply here as well.

EDIT: Oh I forgot this is 7B. I personally haven't spent much time with 7B llama because my hardware can do 15/30B - and honestly 15B llama is very noticably better to the point where if you can run it you shouldn't bother with 7B. So this really can't compare to GPT3.5 without finetuning and even then it'll be behind (based on llama models)
There was that famous Unicef report about the child labor sweatshop in Bangladesh that closed down and most of the children went to work in the sex trade.

Regardless of how common that actually is, it seems pretty logical to me that if people are desperate enough for work, it's only because all of their other options were worse.

So while I think laws played an important part in ending chimney sweeps and the like, they only worked because enough middle class people started having fewer kids and enough resources to provide them education.

To put it another way, the need for chimney sweeping didn't magically disappear. First we had to build better chimneys.
I think a lot of it is timing, bias towards the status quo, and how much immediate tangible benefit there is to the consumer. Take the example of electricity. It's quite easy to build a coal power plant and extremely difficult to build a nuclear power plant even though the former is much dirtier and more dangerous than the latter. The reason is that when coal power plants were invented, the alternative was no electricity. It would have been politically impossible to make it difficult to build them or shut down existing plants. People would have rioted. Politicians would have been voted out. There were power plant accidents, horrific pollution, tens of thousands of deaths from coal mining disasters, but nobody is going to go back to not having power, so this was just accepted and became the status quo.

Then when nuclear power is invented and plants are built, the alternative is coal, not going without power. So when there are nuclear accidents, the regulators can go nuts and shut down plants, and prevent new ones from being built. Consumers don't care that much about what the source of their electricity is, and coal is the status quo, so no politician loses their seat for going back to it.

If nuclear power had been invented first, it and all its problems would have just been accepted as the cost of having electricity instead, and it would be extremely difficult to build coal plants.

Very selfishly - distributed compute. Not decentralized, distributed.

Compute and data are being created and run everywhere, we need platforms that understand how to use it and get insights without (or before) moving it.

You got it: "API testing is hard for non technical people"

That's why I created this new tool. To help the non-technical tester to automated using a natural language instead java or another options.

To develop test with karate you need:

- http experience
- java & maven experience (pom.xml, etc)
- and a lot of files: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3322836/236533517-...
- run with java editor or maven

With T-Rext

- http experience
- plain editor/ vs code
- only the dsl with tests
- a simple shell command

Also Karate has a custom json parser implementation. In T-Rext I used the well known jsonpath: https://jsonpath.com

I'm comfortable saying that any direct use of function pointers counts as dynamic dispatch, unless your language's semantics for function pointers are especially strict or static. :)

As for closures, I'm not entirely convinced; closures in Rust don't support recursion because they're lexically-scoped (unless "something something y-combinator", which I confess I don't grasp), and otherwise closures are (usually) just as statically-dispatched as any other function call.

Ask HN: What is a niche in tech that you think has a big future?
I think of myself as a relatively good software engineer (based on feedback), but I never specialized in anything. So I am here with 12 YoE but I don’t stand out with anything. I know the boring Java/Javascript/Python/AWS/etc. stack, and use these to write boring REST apis or data processing pipelines.

Edit: by boring I mean: there are too many people with the same knowledge/experience.

What is something that I could start specializing in now? Something with a big future.

the article says it is possible to build web applications that use htmx for a smoother experience if javascript is enabled, but that properly falls back to vanilla HTML if js is not enabled

this is called progressive enhancement[1], and yes, htmx can be used in this manner although it requires some effort by the developer

unpoly, another hypermedia-oriented front end library, is more seamless in this regard and worth looking at

I think the point is that by using HTMX your site can degrade gracefully for non-JS users.

A site for a project of mine [1] is built with HTMX and operates more or less the same for JS and no-JS users.

I’m aiming to add some bells and whistles for JS users but the version you see there is more or less the experience non-JS users gets too:

That must be subjective because Go's syntax is pretty fine to me.

To illustrate, when I started learning Go, I implemented Concurrent Hash Array Mapped Tries from some PhD thesis and the pseudo code algorithm actually looked pretty much like the Go code. A testament to how legible it is.

Then again, I have never tried ruby so I can't compare.
