Ah I'm reminded of that one xkcd. https://xkcd.com/927/

I hate to be the LLM guy but they're really good at processing semi-structured data to structured data. You could go that route and have a universal autocomplete for the CLI. Kinda like Co-Pilot for Bash, or you could use it to do what the parent's doing and have a universal TUI program for building commands.
Looks very nice! Does it also support default "apps" like, e.g., ls?
Braces and square brackets (as well as double quotes) are not allowed unencoded in query strings, see the definition of pchar in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.4.
I was trying to understand what box 2b was on one of my tax forms. Google wasn't helping me because I all I found was unreadable blog spam. So, I tried ChatGPT. "On form blah, what goes in box 2b?"

It descended into me arguing with the machine over whether or not 2b even existed. "GPT, I'm literally holding the physical paper in my hand and staring at the box labeled 2b!" "That is incorrect. Form blah has never had a box labeled 2b"

So, I'm going to go with: probably wanna hold off on the LLM taxes.

I love anything TUI related. I spent a lot of time last year making a TUI-over-the-wire protocol with a TUI browser.

It's somewhat related to this because it's generating a TUI dynamically based on an input schema coming over the wire via gRPC.

Would love any feedback http://uggly.bytester.net
All the characters in my example are printable. Not all of the octets are, of course, but octets aren't characters. And spaces are extremely common in names, e.g. music track and album names contain spaces more often than not (and thus usually end up in file names). If you can't even support using the biggest key on every keyboard in file names you're doing something horribly wrong.
How do you convert it into a nested object then? You could use deeply nested objects like JSON or YAML does, but then it defeats the purpose of an easy to read configuration format. This is also a feature of Java property files.
Sometimes bad quality ram chips, or set with the wrong timing in UEFI, or just not properly seated ram, can cause problems similar to what you've described. Anecdotally I have W11 installed on 5 different machines and none of them have the issues you're describing.
I never enable auto-update. It's just obviously a gaping vulnerability. It effectively delegates your security to a third party, so any vulnerability or incompetence in the third party becomes your vulnerability. You are effectively signing up to be a beta tester. No. Just, no.
I wonder why text protobuf is not widely used for config. There is a formal description of the structure and the configuration structure can be statically checked.

> Many companies have tons of desginers who need to prove they are needed, so they force change for the sake of change - at the cost of users.

That may be one part.

But another part is companies that need to demonstrate to their uses that a version change is a big change.

Microsoft is (im)famous for this: as far as I can tell, there has been little need for the constant UI churn in windows aside from convincing users that a new version is big enough to warrant that appellation (as opposed to a service pack/patch).
Hey, this is what I appreciate about US investors, they rather put their money in BS moon-shot ideas that will 99% fail, but this way they fuel a high demand for SW jobs leading to competition and high wages in the industry, instead of putting all their money in stuff with a 99% success rate like real estate, like investors do here in Europe.

The fact that investors are constantly chasing new and risky ideas, instead of just zero sum assets, is why the US has the best jobs market in the world.

If investors and consumers were responsible and conservative with their money, dev wages would be much much lower. So enjoy it, because you have it good.

> From 1994 through 2013, the U.S. had 745 serious incidents with gas distribution

This is incredibly misleading because of the scale and method of distribution. Tens of millions of houses in the US have gas pipelines leading directly into the kitchen! Of course there will be a lot of serious incidents.

If people shipped gas to their kitchen ranges by rail, there would be a lot more serious train incidents too!

Similarly, if you shut down pipelines, you have to include all TRUCK accidents as well, because trains are never going to solve the last-mile problem that pipelines already have.

NOVA just released an episode on perception (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU6LfXNeQM4) and, yea, and aligning machine perception to human perception is going to be nearly impossible.

Or to put it another way, your brains model of reality is one that is highly optimized around the limitations of meatsacks on a power budget that are trying not to die. Our current AI does not have to worry about death in its most common forms. Companies like Microsoft throw practically unlimited amounts of power at it. The textual data that is fed to it is filtered far beyond what a human mind filters its input, books/papers are a tiny summarization of reality. At the same time more 'raw' forms of data like images/video/audio are likely to be far less filtered than what the human mind does to stay within its power budget.

Rehashing, this is why I think alignment will be impossible, at the end of the day humans and AI will see different realities.
Yeah, Microsoft got blindsided by voltage glitching on the 360 and they went on to implement a watchdog system in the XB1 which forces a reboot if it detects voltages, clocks or temperatures going out of sensible ranges. They also audited their first stage bootloader to ensure that even if you manage to sneak one glitch past the watchdog, the code is structured such that any single branch going the wrong way won't lead to a compromised state. The combination of those has successfully prevented any such attacks from happening again.

Voltage glitching is the kind of play you only get to make once unfortunately.
Also, it's funny for you to start this thread with such a disparaging and dismissive comment, then come back and act victimized that you're being questioned. If you are a self aware entity in control of your behavior, maybe you should try harder not to be a hypocritical asshole.
Still, initial and inherit are good things to have.

They are about as useful in a configuration language, where the cascading logic also applies.
It seems like the fundamental problem is that clients don't actually verify the signatures. It seems to me like the first step is pip and other clients should be updated to have a verify mode, and PyPy should start flagging packages that don't verify.

There are a lot of arguments in here that PGP is fundamentally broken, but it's a mature PKI system, and it seems to me like PyPy should stick with it and use it properly. If someone has a different PKI system that they think works better, by all means put together a PEP but "let's just do away with PKI because our implementation is half-assed and bad" doesn't really seem like a good path.

The majority of visual novels have branching paths after a common route that lead to entirely different endings.

I think perhaps you shouldn't speak with such authority on the medium. Many have terrible writing, many have excellent writing. It depends on the author(s) and also to an extent on the localization team if it's being read in English or another language.
I would consider verifying a signature with gpg, openssl or openssh a far more important feature for code signing than adding (equivalences of) ~transport features like OLM's ratcheting or perfect forward secrecy.

If the only way to verify a package is to run code written by the same person who wrote the signing that's pretty bad.

It doesn't learn directly from user input.

Instead there are two options. Taking the user input and putting it in the training corpus and reweighting the neural net. Or, using the user input as up/down votes on the RLHF to alter the output of the weights that already exist.
That’s good! But again: that’s not a property of PGP. It’s an operational burden that an unrelated (corporate?) entity has chosen to assume.

"Regular" functional programming is fine, mostly it's just "apply a function to a list of values" (things like fold, which seems like reduce, is a bit more involved, but not much).

It's the "factorial in recursive style" type of stuff that trips me up. I can read imperative code like I would read a book: I just do (assuming I'm familiar with the language), but this sort of recursive stuff just trips me up, never mind actually writing it.
I think the point is that being a "site for talking about everything" doesn't work. Ever. HN is restricted by what it is, even more than who runs it; a lot of the content here has no appeal to people outside of the tech world. The sort of people here tend to prefer rigor and statistics to emotional appeals and bloviating, and that creates a "house style" like old forums used to have. It's self-limiting, because there are only so many people who are, to be blunt, this nerdy in this particular way.

To take the Reddit example a sub like r/Labrats is self-contained and self-sustaining in the same way! There are only so many people with the life experiences in labs, wet or dry, and so many people who will get the humor and struggles of those communities. By contrast a sub like r/Worldnews is so vague and broad that it attracts tens of millions of people to talk about just about anything at all.

Quora falls into that latter category, "Ask me anything" in essence. I'm essentially calling for a return to niches based on limited shared interests or circumstances, because they come with their own ability to restrict growth and filter out "clots".
Where they do shine for me is for repetitive tasks.

You're right. China only reports ~70 requests[0] for account access biannually, the United States is truly in another class with our 6,646 some-odd requests[1] for account access. Don't even get me started on the 4,500+ requests for device access, on top of the undocumented bruteforce entries with Greykey and suspect manipulation.

If you're convinced that Apple would bend the knee in China but not the US, you should take another look at FIVE-EYES and PRISM. Transparency is the only sane security model in a post-Snowden world. Insinuating otherwise without presenting accountable proof is what we call security theater.

When Apple publicly holds double standards for multiple countries, what makes you so certain they're not doing the same where you live?

First let me say redis has served me well for years. Before rspamd I used spamasassassin - another perfectly fine piece of software. Having more options is a good thing. For redis I started with single instances and moved to master (for writes), slaves (for reads), or sharding/hashing depending on what rspamd uses. I moved one section so far to dragonflydb called reputation module. This is performing better for my usage.

As for email, if email was broken down and nicely distributed over the same period I likely would have no issues. However, there are times where there is much more scanning going on, and a good 4 hours of peak time. This is where issues can crop up. If rspamd scan can't get a return fast enough, that test will be skipped. It still works, but I'd rather have all tests go through. So lets then take a single email and where redis is used

*Ratelimit checking

* Replies plugin

* Some multi map are stored in redis

*mx check module

* neural module (a bit like bayes but automatic and short term)

* fuzzy module used from spam traps

* history module - for redis admin, stats

So a single email is doing more than a single redis query for each email. The mail server (for smtp), which is not rspamd, is also using redis on its own.

Now imagine a spike of emails, perhaps a large spamming activity that is being stopped. Needing to scan 100 emails in a second isn't impossible at peak. The scanning is also for incoming and outgoing email.
How is scalability an issue with 142 users? I am genuinely curious.

Scaling starts being a real issue with 10,000+ users. Pretty straight forward to write a server on rust with a single machine capable of handling around 5,000 users, assuming stateless requests.

Maybe you were making a joke and I missed it.

I used Ledger to manage the accounting for a small nonprofit. It worked for me, but I was the Treasurer and the only person managing the books. Multiuser would have required git or something similar to handle the updates and possible conflicts. That's all stuff I'm comfortable with as a developer but a complete non-starter for anyone else. These issues would quickly make text-file accounting infeasible for larger organizations.

When I moved out of that role, the next Treasurer wanted to use Quickbooks so I had to help import the data. That's another problem with using obscure software -- it's more difficult to hand it off to someone else who only knows the mainstream systems.

Okay then.
It’s PyPI, not PyPy. The latter is a Python implementation, not the package index.

Adding verification to pip makes the underlying problem worse: the keys themselves are weak and misconstructed, meaning that “verification” provides a false sense of security.

Finally: PGP is not a mature or successful PKI ecosystem, in any sense of either word. The only marginally successful PKI schemes using PGP are those in Linux distributions, and these benefit from constraints (trusted signer sets, baked in key deployment) that PyPI and other ecosystems can not provide.

Sometimes you can interrogate the compression.

CRIME attack: if you can provide something to the target system, then it will compress differently depending on what's provided. If you guess right, then the compressed version will be smaller.

VOIP statistics: You can make very good guesses about encrypted voice communication by knowing how it compresses speech, figuring out how long different phonemes are, and statistically trying to reconstruct the conversation.
