So we are expected to have empathy and respect for people who treat our entire vocation as a grave sin? Every last word they vomit about the propaganda threat of ML has been projection from propagandists. They can fuck right off, they have earned their lack of empathy.
LENNiMO is a great channel that does animation-based informational videos. They have a great video on Cooper: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CbUjuwhQPKs

I’m always surprised this level of content is available for free.
Thanks for commenting!

I consider myself skilled in social media content creation, therefore I think the best way to market this would be via platforms like tiktok, youtube etc. Especially on the specific productivity nichés on those platforms, generally the people who watch those video's aren't very tech literate and will probably consider looks into their decision of productivity app, however I don't think it will be close the sole reason.

I would describe the app as a "jarvis" like dashboard, with widgets, a kanban board, note taking & storing capabilities with the interactivity and obsidian.md

I think I might stick to your idea of acquiring a few users first especially because this is my first big project.
I completed the game, but the technique that I used doesn't seem to work anymore. If anyone's interested I'll post my old solution deeper in this thread with a spoiler alert.
Update: After implementing a virtual monitor via software, I'm able to use the GPU and the performance seems reasonable.

I followed this little YouTube tutorial for the virtual display driver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MuS0iex2lA

The download link is dead. Maybe someone should put this on BitTorrent/IPFS/... and share a magnet here?
> he seems to be trying to say that 100% remote for everyone is over.

That is not a balanced take. In fact, it's pretty extreme.

Plenty of companies are 0% remote, plenty of companies are 100%, and plenty others are somewhere in between.

His take that 100% remote is over is bizarre and somewhat confrontational, without any data to back it up. It's plain bullshit.
that's the first time I heard about creating fake verified accounts to scrape. I wonder how profitable that is compared to the obvious malicious use cases like astroturfing/spamming
I read a similarly themed koan recently where the novice wants to do various things with the shell, and the master tells him that's not what shell is for, and at the end the novice proposes something in exasperation which is essentially to use pipes to combine a bunch of commands, and the master say yes, use shell for that. I may be getting parts of it wrong. Csn anyone point me to this one? I can't find it.
Is there a Windows/Powershell port coming anytime soon? Honestly this is the one tool missing from my macOS workflow that I can't cross plat yet.
Margins are not great in the x86 PC hardware business. Has there ever been a lawsuit between Intel and an OEM?
Are you victim blaming ?
What about consumption of processed sugar? (e.g. ice cream, candy, cookies, brownies, and all the foods from the grocery stores in the United States with sugar discreetly sprinkled in).

Personally, I know if I consume too much of the above for several days, weeks, or months prior to a blood test, my A1C will be fucked up and bad. I am quite athletic, trim, and thin.
Yes same, but also the title still made sense.
Ultimately corporations do fucked up things because of the sociopath executives and owners that direct them to do so. Human sociopaths have motives involving greed, ego, and selfishness. We don't have any reason to believe an AGI would also have these traits.

Logging in to the Linux side isn't even part of normal use for a PS2 TOOL. The Linux system runs the RPC so you can connect it as a target in ProDG or whatever, then it pokes your code into the memory of the PS2 side.

A while ago, I walked through the park, that backs on to the house where I grew up. And I was struck with a shift of perspective. I remembered being up by the house in the yard. The perspective had been different, once. That little wooden board, had once seemed a formidable wall, and the garden was like a jungle I had once been scared to go into. I can step over it all in two big strides now. Except I don't really know. It's very hard to pin down anything specific. Is that really a memory of being in that garden? Or just what I know must have once been true? Things are less hazy after about the age of seven or so. I still dream about being in class in primary school sometimes, the oddest little recollections about people I haven't seen in decades. But it is certainly fading with time. Becoming the sort of reconstructions that must have been true.
I don’t see them doing this?
As someone who has never used it: What memories do folks have of DragThing?
It’s really hard to “step up” remotely. Getting your foot in the door, getting promoted to senior, becoming a manager, are much easier if you are in person.
On the one hand that is the goal, on the other hand the applicable standard seems to be FIPS 140, which counts products with a flawless security history like OpenSSL amongst its long time adherents. In other words there is a non zero chance that the modules will just spit out the key if you even look at them funny.
Nice, I like that. I'll embrace the memories I do have, and be thankful that I haven't lost the functional stuff. After all, those same sources could be used for inspiration and purpose.

Some memories though, physically stop me for a second. I have to blink them away, like phantasms to dispel. Those I would want to face head on. I always promise myself I will conquer them by writing or drawing them; someday I should have a certain list of them.

As a lot of people mentioned. This is FTS index. So it is definitely way more blown up. Plus I do save a lot of additional information with it: pwd, session id, shell used, exit codes, whole command obviously. And to support icloud, also additional information for icloud entity id. And now when you point out, 5k per entry is a lot of data. But I am on with that. This information really important for me.
option ROMs are not quote "security features" they are more like legacy x86 thing which if they get corrupted (e.g. modified by malware) would be a complete security nightmare of having malware in a way which can access most things and can't be detected at all (slightly oversimplified).

Because of this validating option ROMs is _very_ important to a point some would argue it's more important then validating that e.g. your Linux kernel has not been modified

Honestly option ROMs IMHO should not exist in the way they do (for security reasons), but they outdate secure boot by quite a bit and like many of this "old legacy features a lot of things depend on" are just really hard to get right of.

Through without question the design this ended up with has a terrible UX.

But most laptops with a reasonable EFI implementation and no dedicated graphics card do luckily not have option ROMs (through their firmware update tool might have something similar, but you can just not use it).
In my case I'm too traumatized to survive and afford a roof over my head without relying on my earlier-abuser parents, even though I want to escape and live with a family of choice. Most things I try to do to change my circumstances results in overwhelming stress or even breaking down in tears, and none of them have been able to materially improve my living conditions or build towards a financially stable future.
I didn't say it was the best way, just the way I'm doing it right now :).
Oh I didn't notice that!
Sure. Oil companies tried to delay EVs, but I just don't think it really mattered. Practical EVs happened just about as soon as they became feasible, once the enabling technologies fully matured.

Even the best NiMh batteries were inferior to the worst LiIon batteries from the early 2000-s.

RAV4 EV was pretty much the best example of what is possible with NiMh, and it was pretty weak: 70hp motor, top speed of 80mph, range of 90 miles.

It works pretty well on email. When I mark a user as spam or set up a filter rule, all of their content goes direct to spam or even deleted if I want. Doesn't bother me at all.

Email has also dealt with the spam issue mostly. If you blast me with too many emails, you get put on a spammer blacklist and servers will just drop the content without delivering it. It also isn't a crime to be unwillingly sent illegal content which you immediately delete.
I'm not sure I totally understand your Google Play Services comment but they do allow you to enable it and it's "sandboxed" whatever that means. Do you have specific gripes about their implementation?
The maturity bit hits hard. I know some of my weaknesses, and as always I turn to books. But when they are childrens books and they have good advice--and I wanted them to be better at it than me--it's like, I didn't acquire these tools myself, either.

When the books are teaching (or admonishing, in my case) both of us, it's better than nothing I guess.
Congress passed a law that made them do this - in 2017! The FDA has been going slow on implementation till the Biden admin gave them another kick in the pants.
That absolutely was the point. Homebrew is only a minor concern for them compared to piracy, since the latter has much higher economic impact. And Switch emulators are mainly used for piracy, not homebrew, as we currently see with one particular game.
Wait, the number one reason you think is story is apocryphal is you've never been ostracized from a group before?

Wow, have we had different life experiences. I was frequently ostracized exactly like that in my youth. This drove me to spend inordinate amount of time with computers, and lead to a career in the industry, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who had that experience.

For someone to say "I suppose it's possible" is just so alien, are you sure you didn't write that whole thing just to brag about how you've got friends to the social outcasts? Because that's horrible,
if you did, so I sincerely hope not, because it brought up a lot of painful moments of my youth that I'd forgotten.

Thanks. I should try to collect them. Maybe like an exercise in mindfulness? There are certainly only a finite number of them. Not all are bad. Maybe there are insights in them.

Instead of "problems" as "opportunities," it could become "trauma" to "healing."
The opposite is true. Most Americans are eating food that isn't what the label says it is (eg. fish). This sort of scam is completely legal and the FDA allows it to happen. More regulation needed.

Then you have dietary supplements which is a complete wild west. There's a 3 billion dollar kratom industry, for example. You can buy this dangerously addictive drug at your nearest 7-11 or gas station.

> On the view of some economists, bureaucrats should never deregulate because there’s no incentive for them to

Well, so economists models of things outside their notional specialty aren’t any more connected to reality than those inside. That’s…to be expected, I guess.
The problem is when B comes across a A post and reposts it to B’s followers with a call to action to harass A.

If you don’t give A the ability to avoid this by influencing A’s presence on B’s feed, A will quit the platform entirely, and B will have been rewarded (with engagement) and incentivized to stir up mobs in the future. It creates a toxic environment. Blocking is an effective speed bump to this happening!

This works for one user against one shitty troll.

I think if we have learned literally nothing else, it’s that social media moderation is hard, and the server is going to have to do some work.

It just can’t be only on users to locally block shit. It doesn’t work.

The easiest way for a beginner to do SIMD numerical computing now is with Java.

Java's Panama project is working on their 6th preview (JEP-450) for the September 21 (LTS) release, but the released Java 20 previews JEP-426 features, including

- basic math

- transcendental functions (sin, cos...)

- load/store to foreign memory e.g., to interop with C

- compress/expand lanes, for parallel selection or filtering

- bit-wise ops (with count, reverse, compress, expand)

- all translated on Intel to SSE/AVX or on ARM to NEON/SVE

To be fair, a big part of those cross platform engines becoming a reality was the other platform owners following Microsoft and standardizing console hardware on PC architecture. It wouldn't really have been practical to do that kind of thing in the PS2/GameCube era when you had them still inventing their own 3D pipelines and trying to differentiate on that.
For the same data, why should serializing it to JSON be particularly faster than rendering it as HTML? The server is converting the data directly to a byte string in either case, which is about the same amount of work.

HTML is more verbose, so I would guess that JSON serialization is slightly faster, but I doubt there's an order of magnitude difference. (I could be proven wrong though)

I agree that taking HTMX to the extreme where _all_ interactions require a request to the server is too much overhead for interactive web apps. But there's likely a good middle ground where I can have mainly server side rendering of HTML fragments with a small amount of client side state/code that doesn't incur particularly more or less server load.
They had a good excuse for skipping 9: lots of old code did something like if verson.startwith("9") to cover 98 and 98. Because Microsoft, they wanted to keep 20-year-old apps working.
If the website contains many sophisticated-looking things like animations etc. it makes many people think you must know a lot because you can come up with such a stylish and sophisticated web-site.

In other words it serves as part of the portfolio of your technological prowess. It does not really help the user of the web-site, it helps to fool them into thinking your product must be awesome. The web-site is part of the product, it's the box around the thing you sell.
> otherwise-public posts

If the platform is pseudonymous and allows individuals to create multiple identities, such that it's trivial for those you block to view your posts from a different identity, or even by not logging in at all, then "blocking" isn't really blocking anybody except the lazy and the ignorant.

In fact, since most users don't think it through this far, even providing such a fake "block" function is inherently deceptive and user-hostile.
I wouldn't recommend PEFT unless you're only working with models pulled from the huggingface hub.
Two generations ago we were calling chess programs AI...

I think this observation held up well until AlphaGo hit the scene. Then it started to sound a bit less insightful. At this point, it's just whistling past the proverbial graveyard.
That's awesome. It's nice when one can remember the why and when. I hope to "awaken" my kids somehow, so I'd like to try different activities. School already has dance, music--even robotics later on.

Just something they can feel like they own and can be interested in. Folks around me have their thing, and I'm just floating around. I have books for most things, but haven't dived into most of them.
Show HN: Git Hooting
00's called, they want their RSS feeds back.

I was looking at my growing Github gist collection when a sudden urge to blog and make a name for myself "by not programming" struck. Part way into implementing my oh so special static website generator it occurred to me that, quite frankly, Github gists is a pretty decent publishing platform. I mean, it gives you reasonably extended markdown with previews, heck I could even write in org-mode, has comments, follower - followee relationship, extended search with filters, check out locally and push your edits. Did someone say "edit button"?

Thus the idea behind https://git.ht was born: collect gists into RSS feeds and force everyone, kicking and screaming, into the good old days when Google Reader was king. Well, it's a bit more than that now. But basically, you create a gist or grab an old one, name its main file `hoot.md` or `hoot.org` if org-mode is your poison, make it public and voila. These "hoots" make it into your RSS feed and will get permalinks with social graph metatags, so you get nice previews when you share them on Twitter and such.

To take it for a spin:
- pick a subdomain e.g. foo.git.ht,
- navigate you browser there,
- login with Github.

I still consider it alpha, but it should work. Report any issues as you would normally on Github https://github.com/fullmeta-dev/githoot-public.

Thank you
If we had enough in the 50s, then if we took a hit on GDP now when we have more productivity than the 50s, then we can take care of everyone.
I'm honestly confused why researchers in one or a few fields haven't already gotten together and said e.g. "okay, instead of considering publishing in 'Cell' to be the most prestigious for biology, let start an open-source co-op journal called 'Flagella' that by design has exactly the same level of publication pickiness, and works with exactly the same peer-reviewers, as 'Cell'; and then let's all walk around getting signatures on these threshold trigger agreements at our field's conventions, where those agreements would say that that once we have enough people behind this, we'll all switch over to publishing in 'Flagella' at once, considering it to be just as prestigious as 'Cell'; and after that point, we will all be contractually bound to never publish in 'Cell' again."

(We see particular fields switching over to focusing on paper distribution through preprint archives rather than journals; but just using preprints for distribution doesn't solve the problem that journals solve — which is having a sports-like "hierarchy of prestigious competitions" where a paper can either "make it" to being published in the journal that's that field's equivalent to the Olympics, or it can "get stuck" publishing in some "bush league" journal; where this informs, as a first-gloss heuristic, how much attention you should pay to trying to understand the point the paper is making.)

That's because people still generally value freedom over security, and that's a good thing.
Yes, it feels like that. They come and go. If I write them down, maybe I will know for sure whether they are a dozen or less.

Who knows; maybe reflecting on one is a doorway to others...
Yeah, you're right, there is a big difference.

I think one of the changes they're trying to push through is that since you can't really block someone from viewing your content, if they want to, they're turning it around a bit.

So don't think of blocks as "You won't be able to see my content" but more like "I won't have to see anything of you anymore, and you can't interact with me", which is more accurate on how blocks actually works, even if platforms tell you otherwise.
Moloch is in control, not people.
No one is perfect. They sought to amend the rules after it became clear that would be an issue.

You can go to places where food is essentially unregulated, as even if there are laws, they aren't enforced. I guarantee people will warn you against eating the local food, and those warnings will be from experience.
It's called an opinion piece, but since it is proposing solutions to problems it would be better called a policy piece. Policies lend themselves to being right or wrong with respect to the issues the policies are meant to address.
Zero information about methodology or prompting means there is nothing useful here, nor is there any way to verify veracity.
Moloch doesn’t exist, only people.
What people who understand a technology at the technical level expect it to be used for and how, has historically not been very relevant to what the technology ends up being used for.

What it does at a technical level (better described is "how it does what it does"), which is what the experts on AI are experts at, is not that important.

What you need to know to have a chance to see its future impact is a very high level understanding of what it does on a non-technical level, and how better it could do it in the next 5-10 years. Which doesn't require a PhD on AI at all. Not even a BSc.

See how many top computer scientists missed where the PC and the web revolution would end up and what it would allow. Even Gates missed the important of this internet thing. Where someone not that technical like Jobs could get it much better...

Good comment, I also think there may now be more consumers using tiny touch phones who never had useful computer screens to begin with.

Something about the lowest common denominator, whether that can be considered real progress or not.
Its a difficult thing to do, tbh. Too many drive to produce results and its just a managed entity that often fails for the wrong reasons.

Too little and it ends up being a skunkworks that has fun, produces curious things, and never makes money.

Simulating real market dynamics is pretty difficult.
Autoloading is one of the many weird and painful parts of Rails that favors magic over reliable programs. In development mode, Rails autoloads files ad-hoc. This means that as you navigate your website, you're loading new modules. And the Ruby community adores implicit metaprogramming, so the fundamental structure of your classes and data changes, and it's different depending on how you navigate your local website. We got some horrific non-deterministic errors in development that would require a local server restart to undo. It's really scary stuff.

This blog post is about a problem that shouldn't exist, and doesn't exit in any other modern language ecosystem.
Author of the article here — thanks for all the thoughtful comments and personal experiences! I thought I'd add a couple clarifications:
1. I'm not saying your product needs to look like Craigslist all the way up until the end, just that it's a key test in early stage concept validation. Yes, later on, once VALUE is proven, by all means consider design polish to make the experience even better!
2. Yes, this idea is not unique or brand new (I'm an old Balsamiq fan, Basecamp fan, etc) —— the post is just a direct response to the increase in AI-generated interface mockups. Trying to get people to think a bit more deeply about those.
You can amortize that cost by just reusing what work you already are doing for making the actual device.
Progress/Soyuz/Dragon don’t have the delta-V necessary to be able to de orbit 400 tonnes. It may be possible to refuel one of the repeatedly to achieve that over multiple burns, but that’s a complex job over months with multiple refuelling missions required and likely new hardware to support that.
