Oh, yeah...EL displays are awesome on the eyes. The T3100, the Grid and the Compaq portable with an EL display were so nice back in the day. Unfortunately, EL displays are extremely power hungry, so it was not to last. I actually have an EL VT-220 terminal clone in my homelab.
Huh? Nothing about using SSR means designers have to write SQL. I think you have some inaccurate assumptions about what SSR has to look like, or how it can be layered. MVC was a thing for a long time, and still is in various forms.
Technical writer here: most TWs I know either lean hard into docs-as-code toolchains (raises hand) or fall the other way into the territory of safe but limited hosted tools, like Zendesk or ReadMe. A headless CMS seems like it falls into the awkward middle—too fiddly for people who want something that "just works," too restricting for people who do want full control to fiddle with their docs. I have to confess that I've been forced to use a headless CMS tool (Contentful) for docs in the past and I loathed it.

Marketers, on the other hand, love headless CMS tools. They're the ones who forced me to use one, since our main website and blog were also built on Contentful at the time. I think headless CMS tools offer the perfect level of configuration and modular authoring for them without the daunting hurdle of having to learn to code(ish).
I once had a coworker who was from Switzerland, and his wife was from Lichtenstein. They told me their dialects are so different, that there are words and constructs that they each use that the other doesn't understand, even after being married for 10+ years.
Indeed. This is why data needs to be open, and the pipelines locally reproducible. All papers must include their data and training code and weights.
Should you be surprised? Reddit has a reputation for automated censorship.
I think on porkbun they explicitly tell you that some domains like .com do not have the option of enabling WHOIS privacy. So more likely this has something to do with the registrar and not gandi themselves.
Where did Google move the cached page feature? I can’t find it in the three dot menu for search results anymore.
It would be interesting to know how many companies with these warning signs were legit. Is it possible that investors look at these as lottery tickets and hope that just a few hit?

Recipes. Historical things.

There are way too many google searches where the best result was the top 10 years ago, and still should be the top. Instead it’s something from this year that has no information.

Googling is now like talking to that person who repeats your question back to you as a statement, as if they added to the conversations. The results are some social media manager who’s job it is to make “content” by writing filler.
Certainly in the UK, wages have lagged inflation since the 1970s and the gap is currently about three percentage points. So even if wages were causal there must be some other factor too.
It depends whether the events are persistent in nature.

"Debit account $100" is persistent.

"Account balanced changed" is ephermeral.

Storing ephemeral events would be a large amount of overhead; pg_notify is far faster as it does not write to storage or WAL.
"conniving" or "fraudulent" might be more apt than "shrewd"
This is the main reason I dislike java Spring Boot: too much magick going on at runtime which is difficult to figure out if you are not an expert in Spring.

Much better to have (pre)generated code which is then compiled like any other java code. In this case you can see the code, you can navigate it, you can single-step thru it when running.

Spring Boot is too much like monkey patching in Ruby. Please let me see the code that runs.
How are major version upgrades handled on PGAF these days? Last time I used it (it's amazing), there wasn't a great path forward for minimal-downtime major version upgrades.
Reddit claims that is their goal, they're just doing it terribly making it hard to trust that it's actually their goal.
I think it's user bias. It's shockingly hard to get Google to default to docs on Java 17 over java 8. Users want 8 so Google servers that even if it isn't as new.
I wonder how one would apply this to programming, I'd like to continuously improve my programming but not sure how to apply the ideas from this to it. I could see it being a thing for something very measurable like competitive programming, yet if I wanted to deliberately practice different aspects of software engineering is there anything specific to do besides building larger and more ambitious projects?

Perhaps purposefully creating small toy projects with "harder" aspects like concurrency, graphics, compilers etc... would help?

You can train a model to have pre-baked responses to something but if you don't add those rules, it will just repeat the extent of what the training data tells it and whatever inferences and deductions it can reason about on top of that.

This is relevant because the parent comment said you can already learn anything online and I was pointing out the way in which that isn't actually true of the regular internet in the same way that it is true of an LLM or GPT-4.
zero downtime for three years - congrats !
@krapp - Disagree on that point. Obviously the three above are going to break down into further stages, but there are plenty of apologetic arguments which squarely fall into a broad question of "is there a God?" and not a more specific question.

You're right about the starting point though. By its very nature it has to start there, but it doesn't assume that the people it'll be arguing with will be in the same place.

Congrats, I think this will be really successfull and you got a very early food in the door.

Do you consider self hosted LLMs a competitor of sorts? I suppose your premise is if a company uses Google Docs they will also likely never host internal LLMs, right?
Was going to come say the same. I feel like Anker is just killing it on many dimensions right now. I'm always happy with their products and they're quite innovative, too.
Please be civil or "have a good day".
That's a real lofty move. Many incredibly intelligent and talented people are incapable of producing products that work.

An example of a company that did that is all the Google X products - smart people not many great outcomes and a ton of capital.

None of the above can be enforced at a distribution level, and where these features are opt-in they’re significantly underdeveloped relative to Windows/macOS/ChromeOS as no-one is using them in significant numbers.

I’m not even sure you could find any amount of FOSS advocates to even get on board with notarization let alone get it implemented.

You could maybe enforce protected folders at the distribution level but I don’t know if anyone could really trust a feature like that if it wasn’t implemented in the kernel directly.
Stepping over the general LHP/RHP question that you’re driving at, I’ll expand on this:

> Someone asked why Crowley is perennially popular on HN. It's because his approach appeals to people who have experienced enough religion to understand that there is something there, but are struggling to reconcile it with our culture's dominant scientific materialism, because they're bright enough to want to try to. "The method of science, the aim of religion". A lot of HN matches that demographic.

Hackish culture was playful, irreverent, simultaneously creative and destructive, competitive, and elitist (in a word: adolescent). Being part of it felt like sorcery, like you were finding and pulling strings others couldn’t see. I think there’s a heavy psychological crossover between the kind of people who got into that and into occultism, the kind of people who really like the idea of hidden power and taking control of the world around them. That’s also why you see the same people drawn to transhumanism, etc.

Tangentially, how much that culture still exists, I’m not really sure. I think most subcultures have ossified into collections of shibboleths without the creative power that formed them, even subsumed into the same global culture as a mere consumer aesthetic.
I think it does. They're busy self-sabotating at the moment. They have never properly figured out search though, that aspect of Reddit has been mediocre since the beginning. There is reason to be skeptical that they could figure it out now, given their other product/feature development; they appear incapable of doing it effectively.
While Reddit Inc didn’t provide data dumps, pushift.io published no-auth dumps of all site data back to 2008, which are still available on Academic Torrents.

Further, you could use the Reddit API to injest the full firehose of all site data in real time without violating rate limits. This is [one of the ways] how Pushift made their datasets.

Reddit was a lot more open that any other site approaching their size!
I think the author is on to something here, but isn't there a bridge across the moat re: scraping?

Sure the API made things convenient, and scraping content will be a bit of an arms race, but scraping public postings that don't require a login to view still seems like a bridge over the moat. It's tempting to refer to the recent victory of LinkedIn over HiQ, but there's an important distinction in that ruling: It pertained to use of logged in accounts and did not explicitly overturn the prior ruling that public-facing data was fair game.

For now it's all still unknown territory. I would be skeptical of anyone who adamantly affirms a position that scraping for training is allowed/not-allowed because it is not yet settled law in the US where these companies are headquartered or the rest of the world where they operate.
My lack of knowledge in shaders is showing. :)

I sent you an email with a job offer.
This is an alright tutorial, and Rust is still pretty stable, but the QEMU implementation of RISC-V supervisor mode has changed a little bit and you'll need to fiddle with PMP and the MMU a little more.

I also found that there's a fair amount of code Stephen never introduces or talks about on the videos, and just has dropped in the repo. This can make cobbling together your own version of this a little tougher, but maybe a fun experience.
For me YouTube is always on the top, instead of the text pages where I can read the answer in a few seconds Google pushes me their video platform, probably in the hope of making money.

To be fair, i have the same problem with Duck.

I wish i could backlist sites from my search results. YouTube and Pinterest are not helpful for the things i look for.
Yeah, which is probably best, most of us would benefit from eating out a lot less.

It’s also better to have jobs that pay living wages than jobs that don’t.

That said, it sucks the government had to get involved at all.
It’s a balance. An ex read every book in a small town library and spent a lot of college and early twenties relearning to say things right. By 28 she hardly ever got something wrong but if the subject ever came up she had plenty to say.

Someone once ranted about people using big words, “having a crush on their high school English teacher they never got over.” I knew exactly what he meant. I spent my childhood hiding how smart I was and part of my 20’s reveling in it. It’s off putting. Wisdom comes from everywhere, and the smartest often have the least. Now I’m solidly in the Feynman camp: if you can’t explain your domain to college freshmen then you don’t know what you’re talking about (yet).

When I’m refactoring code and introduce a new concept that’s like another one but different rules, I jump straight to a thesaurus. The word I pick out of the air might be good enough, but I guarantee you there’s a better one out there. Not fanciest or longest word, the most concise one. (Example: kind vs type in some circles of Type Theory). Some people act like that’s a crutch, but I’ve reviewed or refactored their code so I know that opinion and $5 isn’t worth a cup of coffee.
I've found Rocksmith to be great help for practice. Lots of drills to run, and instant feedback on performance. Fantastic for working on chord transitions and timing. Not a replacement for professional instruction, but a useful tool. Very easy way to take a 15 minute practice break, all you need is a laptop, guitar, interface cable, and headphones.
I like this idea! Thanks for sharing.

Will I be able to point it at any podcast? The ones I saw look interesting but are not what I normally listen to.

I assume you can take any audio sample (say, a monologue) and generate a summary of it. I wonder if students would do this with their lectures.
It's not the low voltage system you are hoping to see but right now there's a push in Germany to have lots of small photovoltaics systems installed. These setups are called "Balkonkraftwerk" ("balcony power plant") and allow up to 600W (or is it 800W now?) to be feed into mains (via a special plug and receptacle, for safety reason as I assume) without any approval required (you are only required to inform your electricity provider of the fact that you installed one). People renting still need to deal with their landlord of course.

Drawback: any excess power that one does not use oneself is fed into the grid without compensation.

It's a step in the right direction, I guess?
"people will find all sorts of ways to believe what they want to believe, to avoid hearing things that they don’t want to hear, and to avoid thinking about things that are too worrisome to contemplate"

Wizard's First Rule (Terry Goodkind)
I have some old articles on my blog that always decrease in readership. I do a pass every year, change a paragraph here and there, change the alias/url, and then get 5x the readership for a few months. Rinse and repeat. Most of my traffic comes from Google. Also, most of my content is in such a specific niche that it doesn’t really age much in 5 years.

So recency bias kinda works against people discovering useful content. But whatever. Google is in decline anyways.
Somehow after all these years reddit never got their search to work. You can paste a comment word for word in the search and reddit won't find it.

They're dependent on google.

Also if they somehow figure out search to work, it will be ruined because of users gaming the search system with SEO.

> However, the argument that Reddit can build a better search than Google is a flawed argument. And that flaw is the same flaw that makes Google results bad. And that flaw is money. [1]

> And I repeat, that logic is specious because it works both ways. The same unfounded assertion (that there are conspiracies we can't know about) wrecks the math "deductively" in both directions.

You're still missing the point: GGGP didn't argue in any “direction” at all; all they said was you can't know for sure what you claim.

> I don't think it's very much a stretch to believe that pervasive observations of bureaucracies leaking and making mistakes serves as evidence that genuinely true Hidden Conspiracies are vanishingly rare.

Sure. But don't then put your “hopefully not a stretch” guess in such cocksure terms.

> But you do you.

And you, obviously, you.
And Bing pays you! I've gotten a few hundred dollars in rewards just for searching which is nice.
This really rings true - I was trying to do some semi-niche hardware/software research (wiimote on steam deck) and the only real sources for that information was on closed subreddits.

I ended up having to just view the cached pages and go on the Discord for help.
It really highlighted how dependent I've become on getting pretty good results from niche subreddits.
After having an issue with an order, I investigated reddit.com/r/ubereatsdrivers and /r/ubereats to discover than many of these drivers aren't really earning more than a base rate of a couple of dollars (literally ~$2) plus whatever we leave as tips.

It seems like these delivery platforms have positioned themselves in such a way that they are extracting a pound of flesh from restaurants, customers, and underpaying their workers.
Versed wants to help storytellers create video games using generative AI
IME, most programmers just write procedural/imperative code using OO semantics rather than trying to write actual OOP code. If you're auto-generating your data classes and then writing static utility functions to operate on them, you're about as non-object oriented as you can get in an object oriented language.
I like my repl. Can anyone tell me whether these notebook things are an improvement? They look a little like a repl instance with a history tracking how you got there which seems like a potential upgrade.

Psychiatry has a long history of being absolutely sure that this time, they have it right, then doing something hideous, and then moving on. No, no, this time, we have it right. If you want hubris, look to psychiatry. Nobel Prize for lobotomy in 1949, two decades later that is over with. Not to mention its relentless collusion with governments local and larger.

Sure, science progresses. As well it should. But psychiatry occupies a particular corner of a square with self-certainty on one axis and "how much could you really know about that topic" on the other.
Doesn’t help that they just give answers to a query. Answers often being very wrong. Then instead of more results they show related questions, which are often non-sensical.

This is not even getting into censorship of any political thing that google employees dislike.

I feel like there's a good opportunity for labor arbitrage or whatever you want to call it.

1) Get 10 friends

2) All friends log on to deliver food from 2am to 5am. Sleep and get paid.

3) When someone actually gets an order, you, and only you, do the labor. You can adjust the logic to cover edge cases where you don't actually have enough labor to fulfill the demand. We could call it surge pricing.

Uber for Uber Eats.

AFAIK, unlike Uber, there's no user auth to make this hard to do for food delivery.
My problem with your reasoning is that it relies on a literal interpretation of the words spoken in the book. The father says that "there are no other kids his age", yes, but remember...most of the book is told through the father's eyes. He doesn't know any more than we do. There is no information technology anymore...all he knows is that he has not seen any kids and that he hasn't heard of any kids. He is an unreliable narrator.

>No. It would be easier to convince him to follow them willingly. Would you rather drag a corpse 10 miles or have the the corpse follow you 10 miles. I can't tell if you are trolling or not?

I am not trolling. Have you ever picked up a six year old? They weigh practically nothing. The cannibals are not shown to be as exhausted or weak as the father so it would not be as much of a problem. Perhaps if he gets off to the idea of betrayal, or if he really does think that having a kid follow him for 10 miles would be easier convincing him would be easier, but I have a hard time believing that.

>I guess if you keep looking for something, you'll eventually find it. Even if it is not there.

I could say the same thing about your interpretation of events. I do wish you would be more open minded and less cynical...the way you so easily dismiss people and feel that your interpretation is the only correct one is extremely offputting. Productive conversation cannot happen if you keep dismissing everyone else as "missing the obvious."
This is why LLMs that have censorship applied seem lobotomized. Clbuttic problem is clbuttic.
The PostgreSQL documentation and the limitations of community
UX matters. Nested threads are huge for good UX.

I recommended Discourse for it's overall approachability and lack of confidence in my ability to convince a community moving to Discord to something more complicated.

People don't like upfront investment for longer term gains so sequential is a way easier sell.

I guess I'm saying my Discourse recommendation is damage control much like a tourniquet and not my ideal.
So many of these projects over the years. There's zero profit to be made here IMHO. Though it would be cool if somebody manage to crack the formula, I don't see how this specific project does that.
I happened to notice this on Sunday evening. Was searching for some info on an Intel chip and some stuff from r/intel came up. I didn't even know there was an r/intel. The sub had already gone private at that point and even though I knew about the upcoming "blackouts" it still confused me.
Look, I just don’t think you should editorialize without making it clear. Why is the claim controversial, for example?

Edit: I guess we went too deep in the thread, so we're resorting to edits. that was a rhetorical question. It's sort of like the Twitter community notes feature: making the edit, and its reason clear, builds trust. Otherwise, you just look like you're doing something shady (given that, again, the people in the article literally own HN).

In terms of YOUR opinion about the quality of my article – that is what upvotes are for. I guess you have a much heavier hand into what we're allowed to read than I realized! Again, given your incentives, that's worrying.
> as companies shift their practices internationally to avoid a patchwork of different policies

That is one theory. Another is that AI companies just don't comply and have no nexus of assets in the EU so there could be no enforcement against them.

>"you won't be able to run powerhouse apps from macOS to get your more serious work done"

why would you try to run a powerhouse app on a computer strapped to your face vs running it on the hardware it's designed to run on and share the screen of that system to the one strapped to your face? Just like they demonstrated being a key selling point. powerhouse apps tend to make the hardware run the fans from all of the heat being generated. no way would i want that near my face
