While I am on-side with the idea that there's value in forgetting, you would have to yank my Workflowy from my cold, dead hands. If I had to choose between giving up my calendar or my lists, I would give up my calendar every time.

I believe that "forgetting" is really the wrong lens, anyhow. Aside from simplicity, Workflowy's primary draw for me is that it can help me rapidly (a few 10s of ms) find any keyword in my massive, 10+ year, 75k+ node list-of-lists. I can relax and "forget" because I trust that what I need is there when I go to search for it. This is the exact same mechanics at work in Inbox Zero, which is also something that helped me reclaim my life.

Workflowy has literally allowed me to forget more than most people know about the topics I'm expert in. If that's not a solid pitch, I honestly don't know what could be.

Hey, this is exactly why I made obsidian-repeat-plugin [1]. The goal was to have most of my notes surface every now and then, which removes the need for me to do any digging at all.

With that said, my non-repeating notes are far from "dead". First, I have a lot of useful self-made references. Second, Obsidian really makes it easy to spontaneously group tags with its backlink system. Every now and then, I go down a rabbit hole and catch up to notes that would otherwise be dead. I only have to maintain a few "entry points" that mostly have other notes linking to them.

If the parks wanted to find out and take action I think they already would have.

As noted elsewhere it wouldn’t be hard to figure this one out.

Reddit initially monetized using Adzerk. Apollo should do exactly what you are pitching and just use the same engine to sell ads.

There's something to this. When I read The Trial, I was struck by the sheer absurdity of it all. Josef is never charged with a crime, is never coerced into any action, yet at every step remains a willing participant in his own punishment. Up to his own death. It's as if his real crime was not refusing to go along with the farce.
Right now it seems legal to scrape Reddit. But given their trajectory of making the API fairly expensive to use, do you think it's likely that they would also limit/prohibit scraping (assuming apps like Apollo start scraping as an alternative)?

One thing that was really jarring for me moving from the startup/consulting/advertising space to the research space was that human subjects data really gets deleted.

It's not just the deleted_at column being set, there's no backup, it's really gone. Every copy, forever.

I appreciate the ethics of it, and part of my reason for working in this area is because of these ethics, but even 5 years in there is so much reluctance to press that delete button.
For years I've been using it (fennec), happy with it in a slow phone (redmi note 7) with dozens of tabs open.
Well, Amazon fired the Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff in March 2023[1]. Here is some of Jamie Siminoff's BS in action, dated January 2020: "Ring CEO says customers to blame, not security company, for wave of hacked devices"[2]. This is what Amazon does. They wait until the very end, when the damage is good and baked in, and then let's the execs go.

What's horrible about this strategy is that it's all the people underneath that bear the weight of these execs' horrible decisions and actions. And for this reason, we should be able to sue these executives, regardless of if they leave the company, for their illegal decisions and actions.

After all, if individual contributors and lower level managers push back against leadership, they get fired. Which is unlawful, however you have to wait years for lawsuits like this one with FTC vs. Ring, and in the course of waiting your statute of limitations on retaliatory firing expires. So yea, I'm totally for suing executives.

Just throw that pocket change towards the attendant on your way out.
The reciting part is illegal, but as long as it is trained not to recite things in full (or to whatever limit the law determines), then it should be fine.
No, its not how other people operate. Most people are like you and use notes for exactly what they are used for. This making the front page is wild to me. Just write anything semi-contrarian and you are good to go.
And even before that point, shaders would be programs you would run as user programmable components of non-realtime software renderers. IIRC it was Pixar who used the term shader first in Renderman back in the 80s.
It’s a sliding scale that depends on the use case and different uses will want levels of hallucination that other uses would find unacceptable.

In summarization, it’s literally anything that’s not in the context. If it’s used for writing historical fiction or scifi, very little would count as a hallucination as long as it’s following the prompt.

In the recent case of the Texas lawyer, the citations follow a specific format and can be checked against a database, so hallucinations are easy to define w.r.t. citations.
Can a person be fed fat through an IV or would astronauts need to put on massive weight before long missions?

Thanks! I wonder if it would work better on proofs expressed in a formal proof-assistant language. Like, if we took something with GPT's training but also specifically exposed it to large amounts of Lean/Agda/Coq/whatever, might it learn to construct proofs in the formal language better than it can in English/LaTeX?

Tell HN: The dragon compiler book (2nd edition) is a great book
Hello,

I have seen a lot of people on the internet say that the dragon book is horrible book to learn compilers from.

well, I have read some of the second edition of the dragon book and I think it is a great book. The main criticism is that its too focused on parsing. Thats just like 5 chapters. I skipped these and went straight into the intermediate language, code generation, and optimizing chapters.

These chapters give a detailed account of things such as register allocation, instruction selection, and instruction scheduling. The optimizing chapters are also good.

im not claiming im an expert compiler person. I am not but compilers is something i want to learn and so i gave the dragon book a try and i really liked it.

more importantly the dragon book made me realize that compilers are mathematical systems in a way. the ast is tree and trees have mathematical properties but graphs are needed for register allocation, dataflow analysis for optimization. optimization is math problem.

So i think this book gave me a better understanding of the field and it made appreciate compilers.

i'd say if youre interested in compilers you can start with "essence of compilation" by dr. siek and get some experience writing compilers and then read the dragon book.

i just wanted to share my experience. i think the dragon book is a great book.
I don't really want to build another megacorp. I've done the VC funded route and played the ambition dream chasing game. It's not for me. If anything, the mission is to be the anti-facebook. To build something community led and community owned. I don't think we have enough of those things. It basically comes down to, who do you trust. I trust me, and hopefully you'll come to trust me too.
How soon before a competitor overtakes them because of their safety settings?
It's plenty fast for me because I self host it and don't use a public proxy. You can self-host it in a docker container locally if you want. The real plus is that there is no way to comment or even vote which makes reddit less of a time waster.
What you propose sounds broadly like it could easily be built on IPFS and Filecoin. I think you find that there isn’t enough financial incentive to go decentralized here; groups get together and host/curate for community and kudos more than for profit.
Does this work on any song, or only the songs that have been analyzed?

Because they're "shading" pixels, at the very base.

Essentially they're just programs for your GPU.
This is great. After a couple of years fighting OpenAPI in various ways, I can definitely see the case for giving the spec its own proper language that’s not JSON. Seems inspired by GraphQL’s really nice specs (IMO the only nice thing about GraphQL).
https://rdddeck.com is also a good reddit front-end.
Its like Tweetdeck but for Reddit. Supports mobile as well.
Can they launch a browser view hidden and scrape it? I have no idea if they can read from it.
No thank you. We don't want air pollution and surveillance disguised as "delivery drones."
This is something we think about a lot for my note-taking app[1]. We usually call this the "super-optimizer trap" internally, where we notice that a lot of users come to our app after filling up a series of other note-taking apps with data. For some people, this is just because their organization system isn't very well thought out and therefore doesn't scale well. However, a lot of people do use a well-thought out system. Getting Things Done (GTD) is mentioned in the article, but we find a lot of users that come to our app are trying Zettelkasten[2] or some variation thereof.

And yet... many of those people also have an urge to switch once they've used an app for a certain period of time. I think the issue is a note-taking variation of the "Hedonic Treadmill". Some people are just mentally the type of person that gets a kick out of organizing their notes and thoughts. Eventually those people return to their baseline and need to switch to a new system in order to get that adrenaline fix. More concretely, we have seen that users who say they have come to Supernotes after trying many other note-taking apps are much more likely to churn, regardless of if we have the features they say they are looking for at the beginning.

As far as solutions go, I think one common pattern is spaced repetition (Anki being one of the best known apps for this), where the system will automatically re-surface things it wants you to remember (and not just forget). Many in the space are now trying to utilize AI (i.e. LLMs) to give even better contextual info and resurfacing, which is a promising approach. Regardless I think features like this can definitely help make an app continue to feel fresh long after the honeymoon period. We try to solve this by just having your notes be a feed (rather than just a list of documents), which allows you to occasionally find things you forgot about. Definitely a tough challenge with lots of potential solutions!

Not specific to this model, but beyond the large players (OpenAI, Cohere, etc) are there any free hosted versions of the open(ish) LLMs? Even the smaller 7B parameter ones? I'm prototyping out a project and using OpenAI for now, but it feels like there has to be a hosted alternative somewhere.

I spent some time today exploring HuggingFace's Inference API but if the model is sufficiently large (> 10gb), HF requires you to use their commercial offerings.

Terminal pager ov now opens large files with less memory
The feature-rich terminal pager ov has changed memory management significantly for files over 10k lines. Supports large files and saves memory.
That's another feature that that seems on its way out, like locking up the api..

Plenty of frameworks let you generate the spec from your server code. Nest.js is one off the top of my head. Generate the spec from your server code, version it in-repo, and write a test to run in CI that makes sure the spec is up to date with the code.
I'm guessing we'll see M3 near the end of this year. It was roughly 1.5 years from M1 to M2, and M2 was only released last summer. Some of their machines (iMac 24", Mac Studio) are still on the M1 line. Others, like the Air, still offer the M1 option.
Okay, it's certainly an interesting idea to speculate about, maybe some country will recognize it in the future. Though it seems unlikely, unless most of the world agreed, considering WIPO and various other treaties which have been ratified.

How is this relevant to the present issue regarding reddit?
> It's a low brow dismissal, I know, but between the posts and the comments, Reddit has gone to total shit. Also to note that the average age has remained the same, so it's really hard to talk about anything serious when the majority are 18 yo US middle class white males.

I'm probably just showing my age, but one reason I could never get into Reddit is it always felt to me like teenagers rehashing the same old debates I had as a teenager on usenet/IRC/whatever. It was never the platform, or anything wrong with the users themselves. It's just that I aged out of the "spend all day arguing with random people on the internet about things" demographic. (Instead, I spend all day arguing with old friends on the internet about things).
I have been assuming that reddit (and thus redit clone software) is 'find a place to build small private communities in a sane way. " - admittedly I have not used it, so it's just assumption.

I can say from experience that wordpress+buddypress handles multiple private / public / partial each / optional for each group and profile.. all these things right out of the box, free, and WP is installable via softalicious on basic shared hosting environments.. as well as one click installs at places like DO I believe..

I like your calling to build more private group options, it's something I have hobbied with for more than a decade.

I think ultimately the roads for this end on paid instances that have an easy method for not just deploying - but migrating to other servers and moving domains and such as well - there becomes this push pull from edge cases of speech that will make the need to split and move the groups.

I see very intriguing list of contents, but the links lead only up to "Fractional brownian motion". So, basically, 3 incomplete chapters out of 6. And there's a "Subscribe for the news letter" button. The website is dated 2015.

So, what's up with the project? Is it essentially abandoned or what? There appear to be 2 month old commits in the repository though. Or is it just being written at an extremely slow rate? I don't get it.

Edit: yeah, it appears to be abandoned. https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/thebookofshaders/iss...

> you gotta ask what India even is

One, or all, of the following:

* the subcontinent

* the civilization and peoples that made the subcontinent its home

* the borders and the political entity in control of those borders (past, present, future)

The British did not create the civilization or the religions they found when they landed here.

The didn't build the temples, or compose the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Itihasas, the Puranas, or the various dharma shastras.

And Indian people didn't emerge out of British vaginas.

The idea that India didn't exist before the British (a lot of people claim this) is nonsensical. The only claim one can make is that they became, for a time, Chakravartin.[1] They were not the first, and they won't be the last.

> They didn't even hold this for 100 years.

Powers (the State) and areas enclosed by the borders it claims and governs (the political boundaries; the country) are always ephemeral things. Be it 100 years or 1000 years, they will change.

For most people, this has only been relevant in so far as the impact it has on their daily lives. Does the State interfere in their religious, social, personal and economic affairs? To what extent? Does it protect them from insiders and outsiders who attempt to do the same? To what extent? These are the only questions that matter.

Do some first hand research. Pick 5 recent murder arrests in your area and look up there other arrests. Look at the records of people that were just processed through your local jail.

Yes it's typically police that release these reports because it's their business.

Police in Atlanta found that 1000 people out of the whole city were responsible for 40% of crime in one year. And these 1000 people were repeat offenders that already had at least 3 felony convictions.

Like that is wild, but it's not remotely even surprising if you are in any way involved in street level crime.
