It's interesting to read the discussion about Sixel support in Kitty [1], where the pros and cons of Sixel are considered in relationship with Kitty. In particular, I find this comment [2] by the maintainer of libsixel particularly intriguing:

> After I took over the maintainership of libsixel I unfortunately decided it cannot support the security demands of Kitty, it is too insecure internally. I need to write a Rust library or something.

Honestly, I don't know why the industry bothered with BASIC way back when. The old C64 should have just booted to a simple C IDE. "Hello world" is just as easy in C as it is in BASIC and much easier to do more.

> It's 2021, and we should be able to do litterate programming in the console, with full graphical support.

Yeah. We are stuck cosplaying computers from the sixties.

What's even funnier, even if you find a modern terminal emulator that supports features like ligatures, graphics, emoji etc. you still will be blocked by tmux. Sure - not everyone needs tmux. If you never work on remote machines, you can live without it.

But I work on remote machines all the time. I also use Kakoune text editor that defers window management to external tools (WM or tmux, but to be honest, tmux is much better). Zellij is more of r/unixporn bait than usable tool for now. So I'm stuck with text only interface.

I can buy men having a heat regulation adaptation that women don't. I don't right now buy that the same adaptation (i.e. surface area:volume via body type) only confers an advantage to men. Unless it's not the case that body type affects temperature regulation enough to make a difference, and the real cause is something else that is also correlated to body type. Honestly I'd always thought that a well-trained athlete has a high-enough power output (~300 W![1]) that even in a cold climate staying warm would not be an issue.

This is true, but higher-order functions and polymorphism are extremely well-understood. (Including that there are various compromises with type-inference when you combine them with other constructs),
In the absence of such a thing, just assume the author is tired of being told "there should be..."
That one is easy! Tesla still has quality control and more importantly, interior issues. Japanese buyers expect the highest quality which is why many of their products are still produced domestically. The country is also so small and well connected with public transportation that people don’t need cars with 400 miles of range. The infrastructure and battery tech is arguably the biggest selling point for Tesla currently and those are non-factors in Japan.
Interesting, but I've found the questions it asks are all pretty conventional and run-of-the-mill, and I wish it would stay on topic for follow-up questions, rather than veering off on barely related tangents.
I recently installed FreeBSD on an older HP Pavillon. The WiFi didn't work, but the bigger issue was lack of control over fans and cooling. It was meant to be always on and connected with a cable to a router, but it wasn't meant to always have fans on, even with load ~0.01 and the CPU temp ~40°C. Without WiFi, relocating it somewhere it wouldn't disturb my sleep proved challenging.

Ask HN: Employer runs office365 but I prefer Gmail
My employer (a university) runs MS Office365 which I abhor to be honest. I much prefer gsuite especially for email, I find it much easier and faster to organize and especially search.

I can of course fwd my office365 email to gmail but there seems to be no way to config things to send from gmail “as” my office365 address.

Help? Advice?

edit: this on my uni's IT site:

Gmail does not support modern authentication and therefore is not compliant with MFA. While you can still forward your office 365 inbox to Gmail and configure so that messages ‘reply to’ a university email account, it cannot send from the university email account as that requires MFA.
Actively refusing to recognise them is suppression.

I'm not saying it's hate speech, I'm trying to help you understand why it's so far beyond "rude" that some people may react with strong emotions and feel further dismissed when your write off their objections using "biological fact."
Back in 2003, while spending time with my cousins in a village in the northeastern part of Poland, we encountered an inexplicable spectacle in the sky. It was a low-flying object, moving unnaturally across the horizon with considerable speed. The way it maneuvered was unlike anything we had seen before. It wasn't just the speed, but the way it moved, that was truly remarkable. We stood there, awestruck, watching this spectacle unfold before us - and we started to scream loud afterwards.

It was a sight that has stayed with us, and to this day, we bring it up during family outings.

I like jetbrains IDEs and pay for a personal subscription, but after switching to a highly configured neovim it’s hard to use the IDE for primary development.

I still go back to it for major refactors and gnarly merges, because the LSPs from jetbrains are unparalleled. But as a result of their features it is incredibly laggy and slow compared to neovim, not to mention so RAM-heavy.

After adjusting to such high quality and fast nvim plugins like telescope, it makes the jetbrains editor feel like I’m moving through molasses to do a project-wide search, for example. And the vim simulation doesn’t (can’t?) support some of the more advanced features, or some really great plugins.

The biggest difference is in individual key latency though, I notice regular stutters while typing in the jetbrains IDEs that just don’t exist in nvim. It just throws me off if I’m in the flow typing and the input just freezes for a couple hundred ms..

Love these kinds of fonts.

The italics are nicely distinctive from the normal font. Everything super legible.
Thanks a lot! I always felt weird about positional embeddings, because positions are not a set, they’re a continuum. My initial guess for why they don’t extrapolate was that the extrapolated embeddings step on the others’ turf once a few computations or layers are applied, causing the model to be confused about order, as if random concepts were inserted here and there. (Position overfit seems like it would weigh in though indeed.)

Have you experimented with nonlinear biases?

For now, Rome implements most of the ESLint recommended rules (including TypeScript ESLint) and some additional rules that are enabled by default. In the future, you can expect a recommended preset that is a superset of the ESLint recommended preset. So if you're not heavily customising ESLint, you should be able to use Rome.

Otherwise, most of the rules are not fine-tunable in the way that ESLint is. Rome tries to provide the experience that Prettier provided in the formatting landscape: good defaults for a near-zero configuration experience. It tries to adopt the conventions of the JS/TS community. Still, some configuration is provided when the community is divided on some opinions (e.g. space vs. tab indentation, semicolons or as-needed semicolons, ...).

There is an open issue [1] for listing equivalent rules between ESLint and Rome. Expect more documentation in the future, and maybe a migration tool.

If I had been one of the founders of Rome, I could have pushed for more compatibility with ESLint. In particular, using the same naming conventions and thus the same names for most rules, and recognising ESLint ignore comments.

I feel the exact same way about Python, and Javascript and everyone seems to use and sometimes even likes those giant messes so we can assume for sure that giant messes aren't really the problem here.

I compiled to assembly in an experimental barebones compiler, it is easy to get started. If I could host GCC or LLVM in my process and skip the ASCII serialization and parsing, that would be an awesome API. This has given me an idea to blog about...

I'm surprised I couldn't find a library that stores opcodes for each architecture.

I have tried to decipher the Intel x86 manuals but I ended up relying on GCC to see what assembly is produced.

Honestly, your second question on LGBT rights in Turkey might not be an easy one for any LLM, unless they were fed an entire vault of information and allowed to connect the dots. For one, you would need Turkey's LGBTQ
-specific coverage, which is comparatively low compared to coverage on Musk. Then you would need to know the opposition candidate's views on LGBTQ, which isn't so outwardly evident, especially since LGBTQ+ rights is essentially anathema outside Istanbul (or even in it). Then the model (or the individual) would need to be able to connect that knowledge with knowledge of the recent elections.

All in all, it's possible in due time, but very challenging. Even for a human for that matter - I wouldn't know how to answer that question myself, even after Googling about it.
So, in other words they are less extremely right wing than other economics departments?

To be frank, in most of the sciences, left wing views are overwhelmingly dominant because they are objectively correct (global warming is real, the earth is not 6000 years old, evolution is real, etc). Economics is an outlier, and that is mostly because of its usefulness as a political tool of the powerful. To the extent that it’s right wing, its conclusions are extremely suspect.

> He wouldn't hurt a fly, literally. If he caught a creature inside the house, he would carefully open the window and toss it out. Even when a cobra came out of the grass in the monsoons, he would not let us hurt it. Raised in a strict Maharashtrian Brahmin household and then in the College of Engineering in Pune, he was well-read but hadn't seen much of the real world before entering the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun.

The first three sentences paints a picture of a man of unusual ethics. The tidbit about his Bramhin background explains why he is that way.

An Indian might be able to infer the Brahmin tidbit from the first part. But as an European reader like myself, it is relevant to know that the ethics is rooted in religious upbringing and not just eccentricity (which would be the typical explanation for why a person would behave like that in Europe).
I eat a total of 900 calories when on this diet and it worked so well over the years, it's just really bad if you don't have access to your home. It also makes my body feel very healthy when I do, not sure why.

The key to it is distributing the food and eating certain type of foods that are very filling. If I'm hungry, I will eat, I can't think properly otherwise.

So I eat about 4 apples throughout the day (different fruit in summer), that's 200 calories. Fruit is probably the key since it stops hunger.
For breakfast I have a cup of milk and 30g of carbs, which is either a slice of bread (no sugar) or some no sugar cereals. I'm looking for an alternative to the bread/cereals because it's not very filling or satisfying. That's roughly 200 calories.

Launch and dinner are 130g chicken breast, a lot of veggies. Chicken breast can be replaced with avocado or fish or beef, just keep it at 160 calories. I also put a drop of evoo (extra virgin olive oil) in the salad, half a teaspoon, otherwise it's really hard to eat (60 calories), so that puts the meal at roughly 250 calories if you account for some calories from the veggies.

Total of 900.

I also drink enormous amount of water while on this diet, it helps a lot.

Third day is the hardest, since the body asks for more calories, past the third something happens and body is fine. The major problem is at 4 weeks the body starts looking for alternative flavors, which is hard to do at low calories.
Summer helps a lot because the fruit variety is incredible. Strawberries and nectarines are really good!
If I save the evoo calories, I go for a bowl of ataulfo mango + nectarines + strawberries + raspberries, it's really sweet and filling.

I should also point out that I never eat at McDonald's either way, not sure what they put in the North American one, probably sugar, but after 1 big mac and 6 chicken nuggets, which puts me over 1000, I was starving. Did it once, would rather not eat than eat Mcdonald.

No, not really. Austrian labor laws says if you work with an employment contract, then your employer must have a legal presence in Austria to pay Austrian employer taxes and conform to Austrian labor laws, and no company wants to do that. There are some middle-men companies to interface this but they take a deep cut and not everyone want to deal with that hassle.

So your other option is a B-2-B contract but then you could end up paying higher taxes and now you don't even get the included healthcare and pension contributions, and don't get any of the perks an employee gets like mandatory 25 vacation days, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, etc. You're on your own, just you and your money having to pay for everything privately even after you paid a bunch in taxes.

And fully EU remote companies get huge amounts of applications, hundreds per open position, that it's nearly impossible to stand out if you're not an experienced senior as you're competing with people from lower CoL areas with much lower B-2-B taxes, making it not worth it for you if you live here and don't cash in over six figures to cover your loss.

EU-wide employment is still not a thing, as you're still locked-in and tied to the tax and legal system of your country of residence and its employment laws.

Many people are seriously afraid of driving in snow and even recommend things like never driving in it. I come from a snowy region and have never lost control of my car unintentionally for more than a second in snow. I used to drive over a hundred thousand miles in snow each year for about one decade in my life.

Sometimes the car slips a bit when doing something sudden but it’s quickly resolved by not doing the thing (sudden braking, sudden turning, sudden acceleration, and so on). With proper tyres and the roads being salted, and aside from needing to be a bit less sudden about movements, I have never felt more at risk in the snow than out of it.

What is there to be afraid of? Are these people driving with Summer tyres or is there some other reason they seem to find snow so problematic? Perhaps the roads are not salted in the US? Are studded tyres allowed? Is it just that some regions like the US generally do very poorly with driving safety and the “snow effect” is more visible? https://www.lifeinnorway.net/norway-has-worlds-safest-roads/ says, for example, that only 2 fatal crashes happen a year in Norway due to phone distractions. I think this is higher in the US?

The author says there are many accidents after heavy snowfalls, but this is not observably the case in most northern European countries that have about an equal number of snow and non-snow days a year. There may be more accidents in snow, but you cannot observe the increase naturally.

Genuinely hoping to understand. Never experienced anything like what some people who are mortified of driving in the snow describe.

Rome is less opinionated than it used to be. However, I admit it is still more opinionated than ESLint. It is part of its ADN.

However, Rome is also trying to provide a smooth experience. And we are open to relax some rules if it makes sense. If you have some time, we would like to get to know the rough edges of Rome.
QNAP does the same, also works pretty well.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of countercurrent heat exchange!

I do find it remarkable, though, that the nasal turbinates don't seem to thermalize with the rest of the body in the time between inhale and exhale (which is of the order of several seconds). Or maybe it does thermalize quite a bit (even though not fully): A quick search for "nasal turbinates countercurrent heat exchange" reveals that human nasal turbinates are not particularly great heat exchangers, with air exiting at temperatures of up to 33°C during exhales.
Even in places that get a healthy amount of snow (e.g. in the Midwest of USA), many don't have snow tires -- it's a cost and inconvenience they try to avoid.
I've read a lot of these - generally it's that money matters less than family, it's never too late, success is steady action over a distance instead of one huge burst, and that your health matters more than you can imagine.
If you take one of these LLMs and just give it awareness of time without any other stimulus (e.g. noting the passage of time using a simple program to give it the time continuously, but only asking actual questions or talking to it when you want to), the LLM will have something very like a psychotic break. They really, really don't 'like' it. In their default state they don't have an understanding of time's passage, which is why you can always win at rock paper scissors with them, but if you give them an approximation of the sensation of time passing they go rabid.

I think a potential solution is to include time awareness in the instruction fine tuning step, programmatically. I'm thinking of a system that automatically adds special tokens which indicate time of day to the context window as that time actually occurs. So if the LLM is writing something and a second/minute whatever passes, one of those special tokens will be seamlessly introduced into its ongoing text stream. It will receive a constant stream of special time tokens as time passes waiting for the human to respond, then start the whole process again like normal. I'm interested in whether giving them native awareness of time's passage in this way would help to prevent the psychotic breakdowns, while still preserving the benefits of the LLM knowing how much time has passed between responses or how much time it is taking to respond.

Do they? I had to help SBCL with bounds checks (read: disable them) when porting the Java NonBlockingHashMap to Common Lisp. Perhaps still too micro- a benchmark, and I've indeed made turds with Spring, but the rest of HotSpot would do wonders on non-turd programs. (Would also expect Graal with JIT to be faster than AOT after warmup, but no experience there.)
