>I have felt strongly that we would have been better off with a more boring approach like REST

What led you to this feeling? I know you want to hear from people on why GraphQL is good, but why would REST have been a better choice in that situation? I'm interested as someone who works with both day to day.
They filed a petition which SEC failed to address. The result is Coinbase suing SEC. Now, SEC sues Coinbase back. Seriously, wtf? SEC needs a massive slap on their hands. If they lack expertise and don't have enough knowledge (literally), then whoever works there should go "back to school" (figuratively speaking), learn all the ins and outs of crypto, and only after consider joining the SEC as an employee.

Coinbase brings this mandamus action to seek modest, but meaningful and time-sensitive, relief: a writ requiring the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission) to act on Coinbase’s pending rulemaking petition to provide clarity for the crypto industry. Coinbase does not ask the Court to instruct the agency how to respond. It simply requests that the Court order the SEC to respond at all. The Commission has repeatedly demonstrated that its mind is made up to deny the petition. But the Commission’s delay in formally announcing that decision has enabled it to improperly delay judicial review at a critical moment for the industry.
Aliens have never crashed here. Aliens have never even visited our solar system.

How does this compare to what Tuya offers as well as Amazon's and Microsoft's IoT device solution? To me, it seems like higher level interface to ready made commercial devices that you can then perhaps plumb back into a building management system or something.
> In reality, we should stop breeding them, send existing aninals to sanctuarys (which we should fund) and be done with it. Within 20 years, all of the existing farm animals will die out from natural causes.

I’ve never heard (or thought of) this proposal before.

It makes sense from a harm-minimizing perspective, but in practice, even as a vegetarian who thinks the world would be better off if people didn’t eat meat, I’d be okay with the current crop of animals being eaten as the end to factory farming.
Yep, you gotta just choose to own it. It can be kind of fun to stand out in a benign sort of way anyway.
What are companies like Riot, and CSGO hosts going to do?

They run the largest viewing events on Twitch, and they also simulcast on YouTube.

How are they suppose to make money to run these events if they aren't allowed to sell advertising?

They might be forcing them to only stream on YouTube going forward.
Don’t get me wrong I’m very glad they built it, happy to share some risk to get a niche product to market, and used it as a daily driver for some time.

Curious though, did the whole unit bounce, with the screen wobbling back and forward, when you typed?
It's funny, there's a game called Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages with an Alien species that cranked this concept to 11 to the point they were attempting to engineer a pathogen to cause other species to develop a particular gland that would render that species able to interact with them by way of psionic avatar.

The species was pictured as comically horrifying and ugly, but amongst themselves with a generous dose of handwavium, the gland basically normalized sensory experience of one another amongst the species.

Cute and fun game, all told. A family work as I understand it. Always wished they'd have continued writing on it.
> Back in the day, music albums were choreographed and it was always a pleasure listening to it without interruption or distractions. Yeah people would sit in their sofas w/o their phones and listen to whole albums of Pink Floyd!

But I would always get up and skip the last song on the first side, a track clearly added for radio play that didn't fit with the rest of the album. My choice, not the band's.

As someone who has had the misfortune of working on poorly tuned WordPress and Drupal websites in a former life I can confirm this is an issue of culture, not and axiom of whether SPAs are intrinsically faster or slower.
Note that being a twitch partner doesn't give you monetary benefits or a better share from bits (one-time-"donations") or subscriptions. It only gives the streamer/community a verified profile and more emojis. So perhaps some more visibility on the start page but that's it.
Ask HN: How do you effectively promote your newsletter or podcast?
I've recently embarked on a podcasting journey in the niche of data products. I'm excited about creating valuable content, but I'm curious to know: how did you go about acquiring your first 100 subscribers?

Did you leverage social media platforms, collaborate with influencers, utilize email marketing, or employ any other innovative techniques? Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated as I kickstart my promotional efforts. Thank you!
Totally. Different terms for different use cases. They wanted to be more specific here and ML suited that better. They could have been even more specific (which would have been cool) but it would have overshot their target audience's context.
i like that option ;D

Again, original sentence,

"All of these details are publicly available in patents, and were carefully written to not leak anything."

I'll simplify:

"Details available in patents, carefully written to not leak"

What's been written? The patent.

What is in the patent? Details.

How are the details written to not leak? Carefully.
You're assuming that the 3.1% for > 12 hours is different between weekdays and weekends. While the study you're quoting grouped after-hours with weekends there were less delayed presentations in this subgroup compared to the M-F business hours group.

Other weekday numbers will also have delayed presentations included so you can't just "subtract 3.1" from one day and declare statistical insignificance.

What you can do is subtract it from every day as we know that 97% of STEMIs present within 12 hours.

As this is just an abstract we don't know what the authors did in this particular example but it's not the first study to suggest Mondays have the highest ACS rates.
auto-generated GraphQL clients works really well if you have a larger codebase and large team. You can think of it as a forced high quality documentation.

If you are working in a small project with just a few engs. The additional lift for GraphQL might not be worth it. Especially if the team is not already well versed.
The issue isn't humor, it's that people overestimate how funny their comments are. The best explanation of this was from scott_s years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289.

I am of the opinion that destruction of knowledge work and class mobility is more problematic.
Samsung is ca on par or slightly worse (depends what year you are looking at), but it’s hard to compare because Android updates are more fine grained and can partially be done without releasing the whole OS. With Samsung you at least know how many releases you‘ll get and how many years of security updates a phone is good for. And afterwards you might be able to put Ubuntu or Lineage on it.

I think, as a dev, it’s reasonable to only target the last 2 versions on iOS, but this is owed to bespoke Apple‘s behavior regarding new APIs. Android devs usually need to support twice as much or more major versions, but it’s way less painful for them because the Support Library (now Jetpack) allows them to use a big part of the latest stuff.

For example, you can use Jetpack Compose (SwiftUI pendant) with min API level 21 which was released 9 years ago. If you have a phone from 2012 that happened to get an Android 5 update, you can run modern declarative UI on that. The first iPhone that can run SwiftUI is the 6s, released in 2015.
Does the comparison even tell us that? There's more confounding variables than there is signal IMO.
This is just plain wrong. The server only ever stores your public key, private keys are stored on the clients. Everything else would defeat the entire purpose.
I made a uniform of my own - same set of black tshirts, black jeans, one or two slightly different pairs of shoes.

It was great for a bit! I felt more well dressed, I was always comfortable, and it was incredibly functional.

Now I realize I like fun clothes too much to stick to the uniform always. But it's nice to have it around to fall back on.

I personally wish they wouldn't limit tofu to vegetarian eating in every Western soy recipe. I'm not a vegetarian (not even close) but I have a fair amount of tofu and other soy (beans, miso...) products in my diet. It's often along side meat. I'm white, but my partner is Asian - so it's not a fad.

Tofu is amazing for vegetarians - I'm good with that. But I think the constant limiting it to vegans/vegetarians hinders a lot of people who might actually enjoy it, and mutes the creativity one can and should have with it in their recipes or food purchases. It's one of the most versatile ingredients I've ever come to know. It needs to be normalized even for us meat eaters.

One thing I always thought - if cows are such an environmental problem, and people don't want to give up beef, why are there no recipes combining 50/50 (or so) beef with Beyond Burger, and other products and recipes like that? That doesn't solve the problem, but it meets the Earth half-way.
It's not gaslighting: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/PowerManagement.html

Nouveau is an awesome project, but for later cards it's basically a dead project. You can get some features to work, but without proper power management there's no justifiable reason to daily-drive it. The proprietary driver is by no means perfect (particularly for Wayland) but it's the only real option if you own a modern card.

The eye tracking required to get that level of accuracy is really high. Normally you need a bunch of camera like sensors that operate different to rolling/global shutter, plus a hefty calibration routine to get a good map of the eyeball.

Even then it only really works looking dead ahead with your eye wide open.

Lately she's been translating Aurélien Geron (https://github.com/ageron) Hands-On Machine Learning books into French.
The parent is saying that "fine tuning", which has a specific meaning related to actually retraining the model itself (or layers at its surface) on a specialized set of data, is not what the GP is actually looking for.

An alternative method is to index content in a database and then insert contextual hints into the LLM's prompt that give it extra information and detail with which to respond with an answer on-the-fly.

That database can use semantic similarity (ie via a vector database), keyword search, or other ranking methods to decide what context to inject into the prompt.

PrivateGPT is doing this method, reading files, extracting their content, splitting the documents into small-enough-to-fit-into-prompt bits, and then indexing into a database. Then, at query time, it inserts context into the LLM prompt

The repo uses LangChain as boilerplate but it's pretty easily to do manually or with other frameworks.

(PS if anyone wants this type of local LLM + document Q/A and agents, it's something I'm working on as supported product integrated into macOS, and using ggml; see profile)

> aren't we largely back to passwords?

Key based authentication is a huge security improvement over passwords (especially for reducing phishing risks) even without the device-bound restrictions.

I'm strongly opposed to hardware-bound keys as a mass standard for most users, but key based authentication is great. One big advantage is that during the login process, sites "prove" their identity to you.

This is a security improvement that you could previously only really get with browser extensions and password managers, and even there it wasn't great because those extensions didn't work consistently across all sites and often failed at autofill, so a website failing to pull up your password manager might not actually be interpreted as a red flag. And there are other advantages too around account security for service providers, etc... none of which require attestation or hardware-bound keys.
I mean, thats patent bullshit.

Where's the damn code?
There are a number of things that are possible today that would have blown people's mind in 1998.

Streaming music - I remember downloading my very first mp3 (maybe around 96-ish) and my computer not being able to decode it in real-life (the audio skipped/stuttered). It also took 40 minutes to download. Streaming a song with near CD quality fidelity on a computer would have been mind boggling. Streaming music to a wireless pocket computer was unthinkable.

Streaming 4k video - similar to music but even more insane. I remember the first time I streamed video over the internet. It was on CNN's website around maybe 98 or 99. It used the real player, was some silly low resolution (lower than 320x240), and was so pixelated that you couldn't make out people's faces.

Actually good OCR (including handwriting support)

Actually good speech recognition.

> Sharding, caching and queuing doesn't break federation. That's not a core flaw.

I didn’t say it did, but it doesn’t enhance it either.

> As the ecosystem grows, a shortlist of popular, robust, federated instances will crop up

How short is a shortlist? When does that mean just new Reddit?

I suppose I would be more enthused if at the least the basic design eased standing up high traffic (or let’s be honest even mild traffic) instances. The performance story right now is: it’s written in rust - which is not nothing but it would be more interesting if supporting even a moderate amount of traffic on minimal hardware was an architectural priority. The flaw as I see it is that this is just not a design goal.

> In this case its extra-awkward to have an attempt of having unicode support on a function that takes a single char as an input

Nitpick: it doesn’t take a char; it takes an int that must either be representable as unsigned char or be equal to EOF (https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/isspace)

Given that description, I don’t think anybody attempted to have unicode support for isspace.

IMO, the bug is to call isspace for bytes extracted from utf-8 data.

Same, but an old Stihl chainsaw. I disagree with the feedback cycles. If we were using software tests as an analogy starting the engine would be an integration tests. There are many little bits of feedback along the way that are much more satisfying than unit tests.

But then again, I did small engine work as a job function for nearly a decade before getting into software. Usually when I reassemble something there isn't much of a question as to whether it's going to start or not.

Edit: not trying to say it's not challenging, it certainly is a lot of the time.
