I find it very credible. Early ebay had very high fees on photos. They also would purge old auctions within at least 90 days. They still do purge old auctions which clearly would have some seo value. Also the whole way ebay motors was operated as essentially a separate site lends credibility as well.

Rust has a particular definition of unsafe that they've documented here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/what-unsafe-does.html

They have also documented some frequently discussed behavior that is not considered unsafe here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/behavior-not-considered-...

For each of the items on the second list, I believe there are languages that would consider those behaviors "unsafe", but rust doesn't - ultimately it's an arbitrary choice. So, it's important to be clear about what model of "unsafety" we're talking about.

EVs only incidentally happen to seem harder to hack. ICE powertrains have more complex electronics and software.

This is also about ICEs having a legacy of repairability which makes modifications easier. Corporations being what they are, EVs are specifically made to be impossible to repair in independent shops.

Your understanding is incomplete.

$ gcc -c test.c
test.c: In function ‘foo’:
test.c:3:12: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
return x;
^

The translation unit has a constraint violation, for which ISO C requires a diagnostic. The compiler supplied one.

ISO C doesn't say that translation must be terminated.

ISO C doesn't define different classes of diagnostic like "error" or "warning".

I didn't tell GCC to be an ISO C compiler. The above diagnostic tells us that while conversions from integers to pointers happen implicitly, the GNU C dialect, like ISO C, wants that diagnosed. You have to go out of your way to modify the dialect not to have that diagnosed, like:

$ gcc -Wno-int-conversion -c test.c
$

That's not GNU C any more, but a tweaked sub-dialect of GNU C with a diagnostic requirement removed.
Interesting. I was thinking the header which contains a link to the footer could be sticky. That way, it wouldn't matter how large the footer became.

Yeah, I’ve too noticed how hard it is to find any web development guidance involving direct DOM manipulation now!

I was recently refactoring some code and wondering whether to use a (JS) class… The search results were mostly about React Class Components. And I was contemplating building a reusable component… results from the past decade were split between React Components and Web components. (In retrospect I should’ve tried DDG or something not connected to my search history lol).

Anyway where are the vanilla JS/TS DOM manipulators blogging these days? I guess here is one, thankful for the post :)
You're thinking just of the amount of data sent, not the amount of work that's done on the back end. Just because it's only showing you the most recent 40 messages or something doesn't mean it isn't doing a significant amount of work on the back end to determine what those messages are. Not having to scan through all your email and sort by date nearly as often is a significant win.
Because currently nobody communicates via AT. There's nobody to talk to.

It isn't as if someone flipped a switch. This is underwater explosives at considerable depth.

There is nothing self-evident in what you've laid out here but you sure seem to think that it is.

Asserting that you do not find it difficult to reach this conclusion does not make the conclusion you have reached, any less convoluted.
my favorite example is dev.to. A (web-)developer-centric site, open-source nowadays. In a similar discussion years ago it was praised as well-done SPA. Everytime the topic comes back up again I spend 5 minutes clicking around, it every time I find some breakage of a page being critically broken during a transition, not being the page the URL-bar says it is, ... because having a blogging site just be pages navigated by the browser was too easy.
That's interesting, I've seen it happening randomly that a search query would return unrelated results for 1 out of 100 queries using the same query.

In your example however, it seems to me that if you add quotes, the irrelevant results are gone:

> The problem is that printing a backtrace is the responsibility of the program, as part of the global panic hook. But running arbitrary user code (e.g., Backtrace::capture()) during a stack overflow would be extremely unsafe, since the thread could be in the middle of some operation that does not expect to be interrupted.

> The soundness criteria would likely be very similar to those for async signal handlers, which are extremely platform-dependent

This is more or less exactly the same as any stack-print-on-crash handler you might be familiar with. In theory you should be able to unwind using DWARF eh_frame data from anywhere. In practice this stuff isn't always perfect and it's much easier to rely on framepointers, if your compiler emits them. But switching to an alternative signal handler stack and unwinding your main stack is mostly worth trying -- worst case, you're already crashing.

OpenAI is more of a lab than a company though, no?

Aren’t they, in some sense, kind of like that lab division that invented the computer mouse? Or for that matter, any other laboratory that made significant breakthroughs but left the commercialization to others?

It would make sense to me what you’re describing. Only, we will probably be laughing from the future the extent of our current imagination with this stuff is still limited to GUI’s, excels and docs.
> "NASA will fund the mission from its planetary science budget until 30 September 2024. After that, management could be taken over by the much smaller heliophysics division, potentially involving a new group of scientists."

Sounds like bad management. Why not just have a joint project instead of a takeover? Granted this means more money has to be spent since you have more team members. Certainly a better use of money than many other idiotic things the federal government gets up to, anyway, since heliophysics is important and planetary science is important.
The existence of life is definitive proof of the existence of God.

It is laughable that people think it is irrational to believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ but then blithely believe that life itself was birthed from nothing for no reason.

Natural Selection cannot even begin until life exists, which is like saying that you can't even start counting to one million until you're already at nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

The existence of life is the only interesting question in the Universe because without life no other question can even arise.
Ask HN: Could we crowd-source training a LLM, like we do crypto-mining?
Could we train a LLM by using the computing power of thousands of personal computers, like we can do with mining crypto-currencies, or with other crowd-sourcing of computing power like the venerable SETI@home project (https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/)?

Is that possible technically?

Assuming one of the big issues for training a LLM is the computing cost, could this be an approach to avoid that advanced LLMs are only created by the biggest companies, encouraging even more capital concentration and leaving high-end IAs in their sole control?

Another problem is accessing the immense amount of data required to train the model, but building such datasets openly seems more feasible, if not already made available by some actors.
All true, but I'm not sure that relaxing or abolishing CAFE now really moves the needle. It seems like the damage was mostly done by 2010 or so, and now SUVs are just sort of the default kind of vehicle Americans are expected to buy.
I realize some people have taken my comment to be speaking on the efficacy of the peer review process but that was not my intent. I have no experience reading or reviewing papers, or with the journal publication process. My point was more to the fact that HN is a public forum in which anyone can participate and so elevating it above (what I hope are) subject matter experts seemed rather arrogant. To be fair, the OP has since expanded with a more complete comment and it seems to be a similar sentiment to the things you and a couple others have shared.

Of course. I explicitly tried to say this -- bikes are fantastic, small cars like this are ok too (though, building for cars carries a lot of externalities with it).

A theory is an explanation for a series of observations. A conspiracy theory is an explanation for a series of observations where that explanation is that there is a conspiracy.

I highly doubt if you called these things "conspiracy explanations" or "conspiracy postulates" or "conspiracy conjectures" or anything else that eliminated the word "theory" while keeping the same general meaning would be received any better. It's definitely the "conspiracy" part that people take issue with. If anything, I feel like the venn diagram of people who reject things for being "just theories" and the people who most strongly believe conspiracy theories has a lot of overlap.

I do think we need a better term than conspiracy theory, particularly since many such theories don't necessarily require an organized conspiracy. I think something like "self-reinforcing theory" would be a more neutral description, ie that these are explanations where its very easy for proponents to find and interpret evidence in support of their already-held belief.

It's also important to remember that no one is an expert on everything, and it can be very difficult to determine what is a thoroughly experimentally tested fact, what is a subject of current academic debate, and what are poorly tested if not discredited statements presented as fact. To believe in a conspiracy you must be capable of both skepticism and open-mindedness, you just got mixed up as to which stuff to be skeptical of and which to be open minded about. That doesn't make someone crazy or stupid; and indeed many people likely subscribe to mainstream theories with no more critical examination of their own beliefs than the conspiracy theorists - they just happened to guess correctly which claims to trust.
htmx is ajax wrapped in html to me.

it does not work for resource restricted (i.e. embedded) devices where you just can't do server-side rendering, CSR SPA is the future there as the device side just need return some json data for browser to render.

>simplicity

Can be achieved in MPAs and SPAs alike. I'd also argue that having state floating around in HTTP requests is harder to reason about than having it contained in a single piece in the browser or in a server session. Granted this is not a problem of HTMX, but of hypermedia. There is a reason why HATEOAS is almost never observed in REST setups.

> two-codebase problem

This is a non-problem. In every part of a system, you want to use the right tool for the job. Web technologies are better for building UIs, if only by the sheer ammount of libraries and templates that already exist. The same splitting happens in the server side: you would have a DB server, and a web service, maybe a load balancer. You naturally have many parts in a system, each one being specialized in one thing, and you would pick the technologies that make the most sense for every one of them. I'd also argue that backend developers would have a hard time dealing with the never ending CSS re-styling and constant UI change requests of today. This is not 2004 where the backend guys could craft a quick html template in a few hours and went back to work in the DB unmolested. The design and UX bar is way higher now, and specialists are naturally required.
I assume they're trying to allow as much cooperation as possible, but at the end of the day you have to choose where to point the sensors and cameras, so it's largely a zero-sum game that somebody has to lose.

My guess is that sort of thing involves the publisher that has early drafts of the manuscript though, was that the case? They seem like a weaker link (more people involved) than the author.

Also I'd be curious to know the hierarchy of which leaks are more valuable. I'd speculate (I could be way off) that mass market paperbacks like this are not a hot commodity in the warez world, but then again I don't know what would be. Maybe that's all part of the mystery.

It provides a series of rules for exactly when decltype() picks a reference or non-reference type, but as far as I can see, it does not explain why the language chose to sometimes return references in some scenarios, such as for '(value)' vs 'value'.
I don’t know if all you wrote about is going to be a problem in the way you see it. The developing world has jumped/skipped some of the development the west/rich nations experienced and just adapted the latest technology.

A good example of this is communication technology. In wealthy nations, there was all of this wired infrastructure put in place since the advent of the telegraph. In developing nations, they just skipped all of that and most people have cellphones. Maybe not iphones or even smartphones, but the banks they used developed robust texting protocols, from what I’ve read and heard about, where people could do banking transactions from something like those old nokia dumbphones.

A lot of these developing countries rely on China, maybe to the wests collective chagrin, and China has invested heavily in rail infrastructure in a lot of these countries, and, Chinese auto manufacturers are already producing tons of electric vehicles. Guess whose car companies are building auto factories in a lot of the developing world? And though they may not meet the safety and quality standards of wealthy countries, people in developing countries are just happy to get places quicker than by foot. I may not have listed everything that emits greenhouse gases and a suitable replacement but normalizing mass transit (I forgot to mention the electric buses I’ve read these developing countries are either ordering from china or building at home in Chinese factories), but these two… industries make up a significant chunk of problematic emissions.

What I think we may see in the west is active resistance to adapting new energy and normalizing greener behavior because of things like American exceptionalism. Also, these technologies are expensive to buy for many people even in the west (right, not most people here on hackernews), and its going to be prohibitively expensive for people in old housing stock to upgrade their property and municipalities to upgrade infrastructure. Tax rebates on $35,000 electric cars and heat pumps aren’t going to mean much to people relying on older family members for a roof over their head and can’t find jobs, especially if this whole ai thing takes off. There’s also significant and continual pushback from an people who seem determined to trash electric cars and such, and thats exacerbated by corporations acting bad faith to maximize profit (high efficiency appliances that barely make it through their standard warranty terms and subscription based car features come to mind.

So yeah, I think the developing world might be fine but its the wealthy nations who are going to screw themselves (and because of the US’ voracious consumption if everything), and maybe the rest of the world regardless of what steps the developing world takes.

I drove a SUV not that long ago on a country road, i now understand why it tends to have more accident than a regular car, especially if you drive fast on a curvy road.
Yes, when you're knowingly writing less than ideal code.

But we're talking about writing code that you thought was great when you wrote it, but when you come back to it a few years later, you can see how far from great it really was.

Which, for me, accounts for about 80% of everything I've written.
Join groups of interest, participate in those groups, and talk to the other people who are there. For example, I moved to a new city where I knew zero people. I'm into exercise, so I joined a crossfit gym, and I talked to the other people there. A handful of them became friends who subsequently invited me to do a triathlon with them. Then I joined a triathlon club, and I went to the weekly training sessions and spoke to the other people who were there. A handful of those people also became my friends. That initial interest (crossfit, triathlon) was enough to spark conversation, and then it's easy to find out what else we might have in common / see if our personalities gel, and then friendship blossoms.

While I agree with the headline (section 702 is a big deal, its the legal loophole authorizing vast swaths of American mass surveillance, and it expires this year), I don't think its a good idea to take infosec advice from one of the governments generals in the 90s crypto wars.

The way mainstream chickens are raised is terrible; I'd prefer non-existence to that life, for sure. The finishing lots of mainstream beef are very bad, but before that their life is decent.

None of that comes close to the absolute pure nightmare horror of being an experimental subject of brain chip implants.

I understand the desire to create the technology, and the possible good it can do (tho it also opens the door to some rather intense dystopias), but it seems very cruel to do the research on animals.

Better perhaps to give inmates on death row the option of being test subjects, or recruit volunteers amongst those with terminal illnesses.

Or simply don't do the research.
Java can do some fairly powerful stuff with reflection and classloaders, but isn't anywhere near the level of runtime flexibility you can get with Smalltalk or Ruby where the entire running program is a mutable data structure you can programmatically introspect over and modify.
I don't think you seriously believe the NSA is trying to trawl for copyright violations. Arguments require more than just conflating some random facts and going 'there, see'.

(Some of) Werner's advice in his own words (from the linked article):

* "I always urge builders to consider the evolution of their systems over time and make sure the foundation is such that you can change and expand them with the minimum number of dependencies."

* "There are few one-way doors. Evaluating your systems regularly is as important, if not more so, than building them in the first place."
Yes, compile-time metaprogramming is a different approach that I'm personally really interested in. There are trade-offs as always, but it can give you much of the power of metaprogramming without totally killing static analysis.

I don't think that's an assumption (it's certainly not one for me). Bikes are great, most folks could use bikes. Some folks cannot, and we should ensure our spaces are available to all of us.

And I deal with a similar issue in my own life -- not due to a disability, but due to another form of discrimination. Believe me, I'm well aware that spaces aren't designed for everyone. If I gave the impression that bikes were the only or universal option, then of course I apologize!

Yes this has been considered by bloom/petals but it was eclipsed by llama-type models on single machines.

But the recent 'leak' from google indicated that lora (low rank update) of model weights is enabling a de facto distributed effort. Individuals can do cheap low-rank updates fine-tuning models, and combine their efforts additively, effectively performing full-rank updates. So maybe it will be possible!
