What I don't get specifically is what's being implemented here with SQLite. Assuming WASI is an interface an application can call into for things like filesystem access, sockets, does this add SQLite as interface (analogously to sqlite.h) next to these as part of WASI? So SQLite will be "under" the interface, i.e. part of a standard runtime?

How much "batteries included" is this runtime (planned to be)? If I understood this correctly, then there would be a tradeoff with having more batteries included which would imply more functionality for applications but make porting to new targets more work.

I've been using myReach as a bookmark manager lately. I've found it to be pretty useful for resurfacing information from links I have saved. I think they're using embeddings to help you track down information across different documents, articles, posts, etc. The big sell is that it's a personalized AI assistant that answers your specific queries based on what data you feed it (e.g.,"what was my electricity bill last month"). However, I'm hesitant about uploading personal data, so I am just using it as a bookmark manager. Their LLM although a little slow, works pretty well. I had this HN link saved about an open-source TTS model. A commenter said they were going to release a model later that week that could be comparable to Elevenlabs. I asked the chatbot on myReach: "What's that TTS model that's looking to rival ElevenLabs?" It surfaced the article and used the specific comment for a response. I'm not sure about the future of these kinds of services from startups. Given their ability to integrate browsers, emails, cloud storage, photos, and more, Google and Microsoft are likely to develop a similar service. With the resources at their disposal, they could probably design something superior and streamline the process of joining. But for now, I think I'll continue using myReach.
Yes, but people have to be ABLE to pay for your software. I simply cannot afford nginx+ for a hobby, and I'm a "free" asset when I make decisions for a company that CAN pay. Also, a startup may use the 'personal' license pre-revenue, then when it is time to scale up, they have to pay. Their features are coupled to your product, and they are going to pay because they have to (or rewrite a lot of code), a 'trial' simply isn't going to allow this to happen.
Thank you! It is partly - I use Sync for reddit as my reddit client and that is an inspiration for much of the UI however I did actually download Relay because I know it had some interesting UI choices and stole some ideas from there. It's amusing that it is noticable
I've seen three arguments in favour of AM:

1. Range

2. Bouncing off of ionosphere

3. Easy to DIY a radio.

I would guess the first two have nothing to do with the type of modulation, but with the frequency bands being used and/or the transmitter power. That is: I would guess it'd work equally well for frequency modulated radio signals broadcasted on those bands with the same transmitters. So those arguments are in favour of using certain specs for broadcasting, but don't seem to require any specific modulation.

(Would love to hear if that's incorrect though)

I'm not sure about DIY'ing a radio - no clue how the modulation complicated things. That could well be a reason favoring AM.

Peplum is a F/OSS (MIT licensed) project aimed at making clustering/super-computing affordable and accessible, by making it simple to setup a distributed parallel computing environment for abstract applications.

It can be used for educational/research purposes or to build commercial solutions in the cloud or on-premise or even used to speed up your routine at home.

It is written in the Ruby programming language, thus coming with an entire ecosystem of libraries and the capability to run abstract Ruby code, execute external utilities, run OS commands, call C/C++/Rust routines and more.

Peplum is powered by Cuboid, a F/OSS (MIT licensed) abstract framework for distributed computing — both of them are funded by Ecsypno Single Member P.C., a new R&D and Consulting company.

From running simulations, to network mapping/security scans, to password cracking/recovery or just encoding your collection of music and video, and many more, and using multiple machines to do so, Peplum has you covered — the implementation of course can be up to you.

TLDR: You no longer have to only imagine a Beowulf cluster of those, you can now easily build one yourself with Peplum.
> I certainly wouldn’t call them a “regular feature”

More than one a week during the school year definitely makes them a regular feature. I can think of one in my entire lifetime in the UK.

Frankly it’s not clear what point you think you’re making, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the one you actually make. A close-to-1%-chance (I didn’t check your math) of experiencing a school shooting is now low, it is ABSURDLY high.

Show HN: Free Web App to Summarize Text, YouTube, PDF’s and Tweet Threads
Hey HN!

Just wanted to share a summarization app I built using Langchain and ChatGPT. SummaraizeThis.io can summarize text, YouTube videos, PDF’s and even tweet threads.

It’s currently a very basic static website hosted on a google cloud bucket and the API is separate instance on Google Cloud Run.

I’ve built this over the last week. I’m mostly a Mobile Developer so please let me know if there are any issues you find on the website.

Currently you can only use it using your own Open AI API key since the API usage gets pretty high. Hosting and running the server is totally fine.

I wanted to get feedback and check with you guys whether you think this useful, and whether you think it’s a good idea to monetize it.

Thanks!
There has been an effort to standardize MNDAs with oneNDA (https://onenda.org/), at least in tech and I've seen it work well for SaaS deals.
I think they also released oneDPA but I haven't used it yet to understand if it accepted or not.

I wish more companies would use standard contracts, definitely helpful for smaller orgs with non-existen or very small legal teams.
Now we just need them to be well accepted...
I would be _shocked_ if Zuck wasn't thinking 24/7 about how to capitalize on LLMs. I'm sure there are a thousand ideas (maybe even a few good ones?) being thrown around Meta at how to use LLMs to beat Google/Microsoft+OpenAI at the "search buddy" game.
Yes, it would be more accurate to say “computers being able to pass tests designed for humans by humans”, as opposed to CAPTCHAs which are automatically generated tests.

Bearings most certainly aren't trivial. All the things you listed further are dependent on bearings somewhere.

Let’s say you need a feature in nginx. You can either pay for an nginx plus license, or fork the oss nginx and develop the feature in-house.

Many people assume that developing it in-house is a one-time cost. However, in my experience, code is not an asset but a liability for which you will have to pay interest in the form of maintenance. More specifically, in this case there will most likely need to be adjustments made to the in-house extension as the oss nginx version it was built on top is being updated over the years.

My point here is that you should probably treat in-house code as a recurring cost, because in practice it usually is.

The question then becomes which recurring cost is higher: The license or the in-house maintenance?
This comment is so out of touch with how Linux distributions work. This is the package most Debian users probably should be using, unless they absolutely require one of the newer versions.
No.

Web Environment Integrity API
The main reason this is hard, is that learning to write proofs that are both rigorous and human-readable is extremely difficult without a teacher+grader.

This process is not taught in high school, most or all textbooks implicitly assume that you know how to do it, and if you don’t know how to do it then it isn’t obvious what’s wrong until you realize that you can’t do the exercises anymore.

Math is largely proof-writing. Proofs are an interactive process between writer and reader. Without a reader there is no feedback loop and you don’t learn to write understandable proofs. If you can’t explain math than you don’t truly understand it.

Once you know how to write proofs, it becomes possible to learn more through books. But you really need a class setting for that first part.
Sure, but at any given moment, they can use only ~12 of them (+ the rainbow thing, now that I played a bit and know how it works). Meaning, you can keep 12 pre-filled variants of each mask, one for each color on the main palette, and recolor all masks of a given color when the user picks a new one from the top-left color picker. I bet you can do this update faster than they can dismiss the color picker and tap on the canvas.

I see you have drawing tools there as well, but they seem to be ignored by flood filling (e.g. if I draw a closed circular border myself and use flood-fill on the empty centre, the fill will just paint over my circle border and continue filling to the boundaries of the initial region of the original image) - so they don't even make a counterpoint I was worrying they would.
That used to be how you started a go project. Unfortunately, modern Go requires you to first setup a go.mod file with:

go mod init <project name>

Still simple but for better or worse it's now a necessary part of the process.
But it does continue to buoy the prices of things they do purchase. This round of inflation isn't uniform across all goods.
In this case I personally define "quality" as how well the language LSPs do their job without getting in my way. Haskell's would often crash, have lots of weird issues, and use insane amounts of memory that would force me to bounce the server periodically.

I've heard about Rust's LSP being buggy, but I had great success with it when I used it in a project. It gave a lot of useful suggestions and linting in relatively complex situations so it's understandable that it would have a hairy edge cases. But I never really saw them in personal usage, which was a very different experience from HLS.

So my personal impression of rust-analyzer was "high quality", and HLS less so.
No, that is explicitly not what I said. I said if you talk to this person even briefly, you will quickly realize the actual basis of his objection is racism. It is not subtle.

It really depends on what your reference is.

Compared to the average American? No, indeed, you wouldn’t.

Compared to the CEOs and major shareholders of the biggest companies out there? Yes, one could make the argument.

There’s a bigger financial gap between someone with 1 billion, or even 100 million, in the bank and someone making 200k than between someone working at minimum wage and someone making 200k.

Although there are other relevant factors that would be worth taking into consideration when making such comparisons (quality of life and financial security come to mind), most of us actually are very small fry compared to them.
It's exactly the same way tens of thousands of other packages have been shipped for decades, including many other web servers like nginx, httpd, lighttpd. No need to paint so much drama over this.

They will contact you if the need arises. It's the same usual process that has been used since the 90s to great success.
> Fully Correct, Out of Thin Air

I think if you're an expert in an area, this effect is easier to see through. You know where the github repo is, where the library example is, which ebooks there area -- etc. and you're mostly at-ease not using them and just writing the solution yourself.

These systems are not "fully correct" and not "out of thin area". They are trained on everything ever digitised, including the entire internet. They, in effect, find similar historical cases to your query and merge them. In many cases, for specific enough queries, the text is verbatim from an original source.

This is less revolutionary than the spreadsheet; it's less than google search. It's a speed boost to what was always the most wrote element to what we do. Yes, that often took us the longest -- and so some might be afraid that's what labour is -- but it isnt.

We never "added value" to products via what may be automated. Value is always a matter of the desire of the buyer of the products of our labour (vs. the supply) -- and making those products for those buyers was always what they wanted.

This will be clear to everyone pretty quickly, as with all tech, it's "magic" on the first encounter -- until the limitations are exposed.

I actually work in an area where what took 3mo last year, I can now do in maybe 3 days due to ChatGPT. But when it comes to providing my customers with that content, the value was always in how I provided it and what it did for them.

I think this makes my skills more valuable, not less. Since the quality of products will be even more stratified by experts who can quickly assemble what the customer needs from non-experts who have to fight through AI dialogue to get something generic.

Inland waterways often have very low speed limits (e.g. 5 knots). Typically to reduce the impact/erosion of the wash/wake of a vessel.

>Located less than 200 kilometers south of Moscow, the industrial city of Tula is home to around 549,992 people. And about a fifth of them have no access to centralized sewage systems.

I really doubt about 1/5 but yes, sure, some parts of Tula look like this: https://st05.realtymag.ru/1911/2023-03-31/0/2101217236877371... basically a village with no connection to Tula's centralized sewage system.

It doesn't in most cases. It goes into a hole. By the time it reaches river via ground waters there is literally no problem.
US labor force participation rate is also at historic lows. A low unemployment rate only considers the active labor force. There aren't as many people working as a fraction of population as you think. Doom peddling and stats can line up.

It’s not that good.
I do understand that, but I'd still like a "common" basic API for those people that just want to transmit data efficiently from point A to point B. If QUIC is harder than TCP, people will just stick to that instead of switching to QUIC. I don't say we need a SOCKET_QUIC, but it would be nice to have at least a way to open a connection that's similar on every library.
If any click outside of the ad dismisses it, it'd be much more user friendly than many current implementations. I guess advertisers will stay with current solutions where you have to find a tiny x to close the ad.
Most software devs would prefer a debugger, but most non-software devs would probably prefer a virtual developer.

If a technical product manager was able to generate the code needed for a feature using some combination of LLMs and CoPilots—even for proof of concepts, for example—the business would need to hire fewer developers and saves significant operating costs.

Extending it to your everyday person. Aunt Jane bought a new washing machine and wants to add it into her smart house. Either she's gotta call the niece to hook it all up, write the integration to Home Assistant, write automations for her iOS devices, etc, or, she asks her favorite LLM / Co-Pilot for help and it step-by-step walks her through it directly, with code, with individual troubleshooting.

There's business in both use cases, but the total addressable market is quite a bit bigger for one of them.
Lamenting the unwillingness to pay for trash is a hopeless cause. The cat bites its own tale.

Their docs (https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison?_highlight=is...) bring me to this GitHub issue, which suggests that implementing Kanban is in progress: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/14710

Personally, I think it's great that the features are there (much like you also get with GitLab), but I might opt for a more specialized solution that has been around for longer. For some folks the coupling isn't an issue and is welcomed instead, though!

Exactly my grip with CNN and others news channel trying the 'middle ground' like BBC. I'd rather watch media with declared bias like Fox News than CNN/BBC where the bias is only visible in subject choices and editors/presentators are afraid to get wet. Upside : that's allow for a quick U-turn.

By the way, I know an independent journalist: the version you get on TV is often the editor's cut. Sometimes journalists are only reporters, but more often than not there is censorship (or self-censorship for non independent journalists) in the editor's room. That's why report from the same journalist can be used by 'liberal news' and ' conservative news' (not idea if that happens in the US, but in my country it does.)

Honestly, you'll be better served with local newspapers. Or independent local news.

Before the layoffs I worked on a security checks team (“ISE Hardening”) at Google. Google requires for almost all projects that code is physically imported into the SCS; when this code touches anything at all, extremely stringent security checks run at build-time.

These checks often don’t attempt to detect actual exploit paths, but for usage of APIs that simply may lead to vulnerability. These checks can only be disabled per file or per symbol and per check by a member of the security team via an allowlist change that has to be in the same commit.

This is not perfect but is by far the most stringent third party policy I’ve seen or worked with. The cost of bringing 3p code into the fold is high.

The flipside of this is that Google tech ends up with an insular and conservative outlook. I’d describe the Googl stack as ‘retro-futuristic’. It is still extremely mature and effective.

I think this is one of the killer applications of LLMs, a friendly Stack Overflow where you can ask any programming question you want with out fear of being reprimanded. Of course, this capability in LLM is probably due to the terseness of Stack Overflow and the large database of code in Github.

However, in its current state users still have to know how to program in order to make good use of it. It will still give you lots of errors, but being able to get something close to your goal can save you a lot of time. Someone who does not know how to program will not be able to use these to put together a complex, useful and reliable system. It might change in the future, but these things are hard to predict.

I didn't say it was true, I said it just seems like it. As an example: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/php_fastcg... -- it shows the syntax, but nowhere on the page does it tell you WHERE to put it in the config file. Is it top-level? Do I nest it in something else? Keep in mind, most people are starting with a mostly blank file, and zero context about how Caddy works (whether or not they understand how the web works). This page won't answer the basic questions of where it is allowed, and neither will the getting-started docs, which tells you to make a json file instead of a Caddyfile but the docs for the thing I looked up doesn't look like json (maybe I know this, maybe I don't). It's all very confusing for someone looking in the docs for a solution and instead has to learn how everything works, whether they want to or not.
