The main issue I've come across is that when dealing with multi-crate projects, it is not uncommon to have two versions of the exact same version number of a Rust crate in two different dependencies. Due to a limitation in the machinery, this is painful.

The other thing that's weird is that you have to embed the lockfile into the Nix derivative, at least in some cases. I actually can't remember why that has to be done, but presumably there is a good reason.

I think most multi-crate projects are only sorta accidentally including multiple versions of the same crate, which is why it's rather unfortunate that there isn't some abstraction between crate and module.
It’s great that PPS can reduce PM2.5 and CO2 to extremely low levels. I live in an area with industrial pollution (coal etc) and am concerned about VOCs, NOXs, SO2s etc as well. Wouldn’t I bring in more of those if I constantly bring in outside air even when the pollution is high outside? Unfortunately I haven’t been able to exactly identify the chemical that’s causing issues for me yet. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this situation.
I suggest, instead of bringing up how other science has failed too, you bring up the successes of psychology. Nobody here will be convinced by scientific whataboutism, however, if you were to compose a comment on the important successes of psychology with cited sources i think that would work much better
Use of biometry as any type of authentication is not the brightest idea. You can't change it when it inevitably gets stolen.
as i said, i've used reddit for far too long. i have had dozens of problems with rogue mods taking over subs and reddit did not intervene even when called to arbitrate. same for the third party apps who basically built the community around reddit.

i am sure reddit will face a huge disappointment. there is zero chances for me to use the official app so its good riddance.

i'm pretty sure lemmy might be able to pull off as a strong contender
Walk 100km to work and back each day to actually get paid and see how that efficiency works out for you. It's like everyone lives in inner cities but are just busy being lazy.
You could still use an external mic when you need it.
This take is infinitely more naive. Everyone knows that companies act in economic self-interest. That's not the point of contention or where the discussion is situated at all. Orosz is knowingly evoking social and moral frameworks, rather than self-oriented economic ones, for evaluating these actions.

It might aid your understanding to consider that while companies behave out of economic self-interest, socially conscious human beings have their own vested interest in highlighting behavior that falls short of social standards. Companies like HashiCorp generate brand capital by co-opting the language of human values and social cooperation. It is not unexpected that people would try to hold them accountable to their own positioning on values.
What exactly are you trying to imply with this comment?
Well you can gain a free GPU hour by rating images. I am pretty sure midjourney is doing some kind of reinforcement learning from human feedback.

The 5.1 raw model is simply unbelievable for photo realistic images. There is 4a,4b,4c, 5, 5.1, 5.1 raw, the anime model I never use. All are interesting but how often do you read anyone mention what midjourney model they are talking about? Basically never.

There are certain circumstances that I have seen stable diffusion match the output but overall I don't even think it is close.

Personally, it wouldn't even occur to me to look for stock photos now as opposed to just making variations in midjourney. There is a bit of a learning curve with so many options in midjourney so I take anything I read about it with a grain of salt. Most people are using these tools to make absolute shit.

Yes, Chrome uses Safe Browsing to flag malicious extensions. But they seem to use it very sparingly for some reason.
I use Emacs installed for my user account (so not as a dependency of any project), and install an integration that works with 'guix shell' for per-project software configurations. Emacs' project.el extension allows me to switch between many projects easily.

Among law enforcement looking to use new surveillance powers it is anyone who could potentially do anything wrong.
I went without a car for decades, even in the first few years of having children, and reckon I saved >GBP200K as a result (plus kept in better shape etc.). But that was with the benefit of:

- living in cities with good public transport (as a child I lived in some remote areas and appreciate that it would be pretty much impossible without a car).

- living in the UK (some countries are even more difficult, see e.g. the food bank lines in the US where you need a car even though you can't afford food[0]).

BTW, hadn't seen that Thatcher quote before: "If a man finds himself a passenger on a bus having attained the age of 26, he can count himself a failure in life."[1] but it only re-inforces my view that, if you are ever in doubt about which viewpoint to take on any subject, simply find out what Thatcher believed (or Thatcherites believe), and the good and correct viewpoint will be the exact opposite:-)

They used GPT3.5 to generate articles and then used those as a test. And their prompts were as basic as could possibly be.
The same thing you do if 3 people want 10 people to pick their cotton for free.

I can’t even tell what you’re advocating for. Minority rule? Anarchy? Democracy were you always win?

No system is perfect. Much control should be local. In zero sum situations, there isn’t a better answer than majority rule. That can be imperfect or even evil, but so can every other approach.
I wouldn't be concerned about LE getting more power if I've not witnessed the scale of public sector corruption and collusion with capitalists. LE is getting exactly zero more powers from me until I see specific people I've met end up in jail for the crimes they did, for which there is plenty of LE powers available.

Until then sorry, not sorry. You are not wasting my freedoms and resources on monitoring the populace to ensure the criminals stay in power.

I would be perfectly happy with defunding police to provide more resources to people who actually care for addicts and homeless, trying to rehabilitate them. That's for the petty crime. I would also accept less policemen in the streets if it meant policemen with actual tech knowledge investigating while collar crime.

Also, legalize all the drugs (with proper regulation) and lay off everyone who wastes my money on stopping their proliferation. Instead start taking care of people who use them (and everybody else, for that matter). Hint: it's usually the socioeconomic background that drives people to use.

Name one improvement. Just one thing that has ACTUALLY helped real life humans and been a net positive since AlphaFold's inception 5 years ago.
Agreed.

You want to have some form of manufactured scarcity.

If you have a single point of energy generation, that is expensive, and specialised, and relies on an element mined from the ground, it is great for the fossil fuel industry.

If you have a distributed form of energy generation, that is inexpensive, not specialised and is made from sand, it is not so great for the fossil fuel industry.
With all these claims of ChatGPT content detection, it assumes that the person using ChatGPT is just taking the raw output and not doing any editing or verification. We are treading onto Ship of Theseus grounds here, but how much has to change before it's not important?

For example:

> "One of the biggest problems is that it assembles text from many sources and there isn't any kind of accuracy check – it's kind of like the game Two Truths and a Lie."

That's not a ChatGPT problem. It's an accuracy problem. If the output is edited to fix the accuracy, then it's no longer an issue.

Yes, blindly using output can be an issue, the issue is accuracy, not the method used to generate it. If ChatGTP output was 100% accurate, what would be the next problem?
> After a decade of use the tech hasn't found many real world uses

The use case was found over a decade ago: "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"[0]. I don't know why HN commenters seem to think we are supposed to come up with other use cases.

> Less than C++

That depends. Rust requires less learning than C++ for writing safe code. There are plenty of C++ developers that feel like they know the language but produce unsafe code. Rust won't let you do that, so these developers complain.
Are those the new UK regulations intended to prevent dirty money from buying real estate?

As a freshman CS student? Granted things were changing rapidly in the 90s, but this wasn't the case my freshman year a couple of years prior. I know that I was aware of the concept of threading by my sophomore or junior year, and by the time I graduated had encountered them first hand. I'm not sure we even covered multitasking (fork() and friends) at all in my freshman year, but of that I'm far less certain.

They're not meaningless gestures! Thry stake out a clear position on controversial topics with all the attendant effects.
The general sentiment is that law enforcement is able to work well enough without being given the right to infringe on any citizens privacy unchecked (and by that I mean without a court order or minimal oversight).

In this case, it's with a court order, but the real issue is that it mandates having backdoors, something pretty much everyone with a lick of understanding of what it entails is strongly against.
There is a lot more immediate causes for the drop of living standards in France than the pension reform. Virtue signaling at the expense of the french people, nepotism corruption and Macron selling off critical infrastructure among them.

Take a look at the Medium article [1] and it will be clear to you that this is not the same.

Each complete GPU sharing approach must have:

- A mechanism to facilitate sharing (security, isolation, avoiding OOM errors).

- A K8s integration.

Most approaches (like the one you mentioned above) lack a mechanism and simply work around the 1-1 GPU allocation on Kubernetes by advertizing more devices per physical GPU.

Those are not viable solutions.

Please take a look at Paragraph 5 ("The real challenge of GPU virtualization on K8s") onwards as well as the repo notes.

> Just because YOU are unable to work remotely or YOUR leader is unable to lead you effectively when you're remote doesn't mean that your coworkers or their leaders are ineffective when remote.

This does not match my experience at all. If my coworkers and managers are bad at collaborating with remote workers then I will not be as effective working remotely no matter how good I personally am at it.

Supporting remote work allows a company to attract employees from a larger pool of labor which allows them to to get higher caliber employees while paying the same or lower salaries. It also saves on office costs. I'm not surprised to see more companies doing this.

But doing so also requires adopting culture, processes, and tools across the entire organization. It's not something an individual worker can do on their own.
Hopefully there is violence.
I have to say filebeat bothers me. We already had rsyslogd and it’s a very elegant idea.
The camera I don't worry about so much. A 1 cent piece of duct tape is enough to deal with that. As I've done on laptops for years until manufacturers started listening and making sliders.

A microphone is much, much harder to block. It will hear through tape just fine. For a normal user who just wants privacy and doesn't want to pry open an expensive waterproof phone, what recourse do I have?
As an avid rust proc macro crate author, the zig macro example is quite humbling. I would welcome this kind of reflection and comptime stuff in place of (or more likely, in addition to) the existing macro systems (decl macros, and proc macros) that we have in rust.

Proc macros are particularly awkward because of the requirement that they must be defined in a separate proc macro crate. There are all sorts of things one could do if it were possible to instead make proc macros that generate proc macros _in place_ like one can with decl macros.

Then there is also the issue of macro expansion... the rustc framers openly admit that with an expression like foo!(bar!(..)) it is often preferable to have bar!(..) expand _before_ foo!(..) expands, because they have hacked in this behavior for several of the built-in macros like `concat!`, however this behavior is completely unavailable for custom macros. In fact, this one little issue is the ONLY blocker to all kinds of exotic and powerful behavior, the lack of which is holding the ecosystem back, for example the ability to eagerly expand a series of macro calls would enable the following things:

* the ability to determine the column, line, and source file in which a macro is being called, at compile-time

* the ability to determine the module path of the caller of your macro, at compile time

* the ability to determine the name of the crate in which a macro is being called, at compile-time

* the ability to implement complex compositional behavior purely in proc macros

* (very important) the ability to determine the `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` of the crate in which a macro is being called. Without this key ability, it is impossible to reliably determine where we are executing so we can do things like read metadata configuration values from _the caller's_ `Cargo.toml` at compile-time.

So yeah, really hoping at least eager expansion stabilizes sometime soon, but this zig stuff would be even better.

Some of my crates that would benefit from this:

* docify: https://crates.io/crates/docify

* macro_magic: https://crates.io/crates/macro_magic

* crate-settings (non-functional until this comes out): https://crates.io/crates/crate-settings

* proc-utils: https://crates.io/crates/proc-utils
There are a ton of dueling anecdotes in these comments. Is there any actual data on remote work productivity?

To me the dominant fact is that COVID happened and work seemed to continue just fine. This strongly implies to me that remote work is not a major productivity drain. But I realize there are various counterarguments (e.g. it could not have been sustained, because junior employees can't onboard successfully remotely). I don't buy them personally but I only have anecdotes, which is all anyone seems to have.
You not giving any personal data to Mullvad, only sending Bitcoin, doesn't really change that they can still potentially see any of your traffic entering and exiting their infrastructure, to include being able to connect your residential IP to a currently active session.

Tor isn't much better, as security services have been able to gain enough control or surveillance ability to match traffic as it ingresses and egresses Tor, to then identify where the traffic originated from.

With enough of a tinfoil hat you can perpetually be paranoid and chasing "anonymity" for a long while. It's really about what you're trying to conceal and what effort you put in to securing the infrastructure at the beginning and end of an end-to-end encrypted session, as well as the level of security of the end-to-end encrypted session itself.
Am I wrong in thinking that you could bypass Signal / E2E security by having access to the display (screenshots)? Is that a lot less feasible than access to the microphone or camera? Maybe that's much harder at the OS level?
It is cheaper, not "waaay" cheaper, but it comes at the same cost of having to plan ahead, which really bothers me, because I am quite sporadic in how I plan my day.

Depends on the angular resolution of the sensor as well.
(1) The sole reason Bitcoin exists is because all governments decide inflate the money supply by printing, and in doing so, they knowingly devalued the efforts and work of everyone who saved their money or relied on fixed income like a pension.

(2) Just this May the USA decided to add 1.5 trillions of inflation on top of the already high levels of inflation people are already experiencing. And I can guarantee that they will do this again and again, in good years and in bad years, both democrats and republicans equally (look at the record, not what they say).

(3) Bitcoin was explicitly created for these reasons, and it has _way_ over succeeded in its goal _financially_.

(4) The other complaints you have are the fault of the government, they have purposely let the space become lawless in the hope that it would diminish the space, or that it would die by itself, but the problem with this is (1), (2) and (3)
You might say that, but someone who doesn't know the principles will consistently produce misguided designs, and won't understand why certain options are better.

Meetings with such a person will cause the engineers to work around them instead of being lead by them. There's also no reason such meetings have to happen everyday at the office.

Most serious advancements are produced by single contributors tackling parts of the problem. Commitees are a place of power struggle, not technical progress.
Do you also deem humans incapable of reasoning unless they can prove the Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture? Like, talk about moving the goalposts!
The energy required to create solar panels is considerable. It does however not supersede the energy output over the panel lifetimes anymore [0]; depending on location, angle and type e.t.c. the energy needed for production and operation may be as low as 5% or as high as 50% of the lifetime output, with approximately 25% currently being the norm. This ratio is constantly improving with more efficient solar panels and more efficient manufacturing methods.

Turns out everything works properly, everything is operational. So much hanging at straws.
That isn't the criticism at all. The criticism is that it hasn't done ANYTHING, and has probably been a net negative since human brainpower and energy costs are being spent on (so far) useless technology for 5 years. It's not that it hasn't saved the world, it's that it's worse than useless.
> Lots of people believe the war on drugs is a stupid

Agree 100%. I must emphasize that the war on drugs is a political problem.

> The value on crypto is absolutely in that it gives common people a means to "fight back" against the power of the state and it's never-ending quest to control their private lives.

Cryptocurrency claims to offer a solution to political problems, but the political problems it creates are worse than the problems it claims to solve: Its very hard to conduct commerce when the value of your money fluctuates widely; and (for drugs) there's no regulations guaranteeing the quality of the product.

I voted to legalize pot 8 years ago, and now I can go to a store and I have plenty of safe products to choose from. I wish I could do the same for psychedelics; and I'm rather sure that the opiate epidemic would be easier to contain if recreational opiates were also guarantied quality.

Cryptocurrency (and drug markets hidden on Tor) aren't going to solve what really is a political problem.
"You can't outrun a Motorola."
If the article was written like that, sure. Bit it wasn't, so I responded.
As usual, journalists trying to explain what scientists do and misrepresenting the facts.

The paper mentions accuracy i.e. (true positives + true negatives) / total examples. And it's actually 100% accurate i.e. there are no false positives _or_ false negatives.

But the big caveats are:

1. this was tested only on 180 examples, which is a very very small dataset to draw conclusions on, and

2. this is obviously an adversarial space so any classifier will be obsolete with the next training run

I'm bearish on any attempt to distinguish real content vs. AI generated content (on any medium, text, image or anything else). This is an adversarial game and the AIs can incorporate your fancy algorithm to fool you better. In the end these projects only end up improving the AI models in terms of realism.

Is S30+ or KaiOS (previously FirefoxOS) which Nokia uses really that much more secure?

Is there a way to offer an equivalent feature but for people turning off javascript on the web-browser?

My first thought is that frameworks like StimulusReflex / Hotwire can do something like that?
Having worked in tech, I can tell you for a fact that this is not the kind of technology LE needs to do their jobs effectively. I didn't downvote, but I can tell you that most folks where I live are not complaining about law enforcement not combatting cyber crime. Cyber crime, by definition, is not life-threatening. Life-threatening crime is what most people think LE needs to be better about combatting.

I'm genuinely curious what kind of cyber crime does LE think it's going to effectively combat? And to what end?
As if fosdem isn't annual. It would possibly confuse me more tbh.

"The first instance of" or so might be more clear but, yeah, the catchiness degrades with every attempt at making it clearer. One might even be lead to think that "Free and Open Source Software Yearly" is not an amazingly unambiguous name to use in a world with fosdem, t-dose, and probably others.
Source for "metabolism slowing down" (in humans)?

While your claims are fairly popular, AFAIK there is no evidence to suggest that non-nutritive sweeteners cause weight gain in humans. They are highly associated with weight gain, likely because people likely to choose diet beverages are people who have difficulty with weight gain in the first place.

Murine models are not particularly generalizable to humans, particularly when it comes to diet and nutrition.
I have mixed feelings about this. I’m a partial owner of a company with 50 employees - about half are distributed. We used to meet 4-6x per year F2F pre COVID. Post COVID we’ve met twice in 2 years.

I notice that people are much friendlier after we meet F2F. They remember that there’s a human who they know and have hung out with. This feeling fades as time passes.

I don’t know what the right answer is, and I feel a little hypocritical living abroad and managing my team. But some things are definitely lost by solely working outside the office.
