I tried using iCloud to sync for a year and went back to Obsidian Sync. I’m not sure exactly what the culprit was, but frequently, I would find my ToDo note (which was used the most) would be stuck and fail to sync for days. Rebooting the stick machine would clear the issue. I was using two Macs and my iPhone at the time.

> newcomers may not realize that model == code

This makes sense in a way given the API of typical ML libraries. But there is no fundamental reason this needs to be the case.

Or, more correctly stated: model == code for sure, but said code need not have any rights to perform side effects. For some reason e.g. TensorFlow has stuff like tf.io.write_file [1] (is that actually an operation you can put in a model???), but one could easily imagine a more appropriate domain-specific model language that your code is compiled to, that can by design not perform any IO. Imagine that a model you distribute is not random Python code that may or may not run a model, but instead the model itself, i.e. the graph encoded in that domain-specific language.

Then downloading a random model from some random untrusted place is no different from downloading some random data from some untrusted place: you're going to execute the model, which may DOS you, but nothing much else will happen.

Unfortunately the ML world is too stuck in the imperative mindset for this (IMO more sensible) way of doing things. :)

> No.

> Nope.

Yes we are, at least I am. Or did someone borrow your account when you said "Avoid individuals entirely"? If we discussed the OP we would be discussing the details of the repo, but when I asked you to elaborate on that all I got was "This is from an anonymous source who has no incentive to be accurate, so it is of unknown quality.". I don't see any other way to read you.

> ...no. Literally any top 100 university (and their related CS departments) in the world would be a more correct example.

Nice, we're getting somewhere. There's good content coming from universities, but relying only on them isn't going to work in a fast moving industry like this. They do not cover everything. My experience is that it's a good starting point but the work is learned by practice, making mistakes and improving. Only then does that knowledge reach universities, but by that time it might be (probably is) outdated. They rarely go deep into the nitty gritty, why PostgresQL over SQLite and similar?

I'm sure you've heard the saying "Those who can do, those who can't teach". Hyperbole but there's some truth to it, they aren't really innovators in the field these days. Don't misunderstand me as dismissing them though, but I couldn't get anything done if that was the only source I'm allowed to read.

> Turns out I was right, and you have no clue at all what I wrote, despite it being plain and straightforward.

Yes, and I read you literally, see my quotes above. You can always correct me or rephrase them if you want.

> What should concern you is the dozen or so people who agreed with me enough to upvote my original comment; what are they getting that you aren't?

I don't find comfort in internet consensus. The majority of people are reactionary and can't form an original thought to save their lives. Tell them the internet is bad and they'll ask for a ban. Sure I find that concerning but not for the reasons you think, it's the reason democracy will never work, but that's a topic for another discussion.

Studies have shown that negative/inflammatory comments get more engagement than constructive ones. Do what you will with that. This post did reach the front page, but I'm sure you'll dismiss that.

That's the heart of Mara's Rust proc macro nightly_crimes!

This macro allows you to use Rust's unstable nightly features from your stable Rust programs, in some sense this is clearly silly and can't work, but it actually works fine†. The proc macro is allowed to run software, in this case it destroys the running compiler and launches a different compiler, then it tidies up the resulting mess.

† In a very literal sense, obviously in principle you should never use this, that's why it is named nightly_crimes! not perfectly_reasonable_idea!

What? the PMC themselves says they are in Belarus.

> Neither did Russia have boots on the ground til 2022.

Yeah this more Russian propaganda that has no basis in reality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_green_men_(Russo-Ukrain...

>> Little green men (Russian: зелёные человечки, romanized: zelyonye chelovechki; Ukrainian: зелені чоловічки, romanized: zeleni cholovichky; Polish: zielone ludziki) are masked soldiers of the Russian Federation who appeared during the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014 carrying weapons and equipment, but wearing unmarked green army uniforms.[1]

>> On 17 April 2014, President Putin admitted publicly for the first time that Russian special forces were involved in the events of Crimea, for the purposes of protecting local people and creating conditions for a referendum.[25] [9][10][26][27] Later, he admitted that the Russian Armed Forces had blocked the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Crimea during the events.[28]

>> In April 2015, retired Russian Admiral Igor Kasatonov [ru] said that the "little green men" were members of Russian Spetsnaz special forces units. According to his information, Russian troop deployment in Crimea included six helicopter landings and three landings of Ilyushin Il-76 with 500 troops.[31][32][33][34]

>> https://www.france24.com/en/20140422-ukraine-little-green-me...

> Any more than USA had “boots on the ground” in various countries, or NATO has “boots on the ground” right now in Ukraine with all those “volunteers”

NATO's not really involved in this conflict outside of supplying weapons and intelligence, if they were the war would be over and there'd be fireworks in Moscow in time for the 4th of July.

The volunteers are actual volunteers a lot of them speak about how hard it is to fight in Ukraine compared to where they fought previously which generally had a better equipment army fighting a worse equipped enemy.

> It’s all a game and propaganda from all sides.

It's mostly propaganda from the Russian side, but this 'both sides' thing is a Russian propaganda tactic designed to muddy the waters and created doubt when there is none.

> Acting like Belarus isn’t a real country and has no agency to demand their nukes back

No one said Belarus couldn't ask for its nukes back.

You have invented a straw man to fight against cause the reality is not something you can argue with.

> but Ukraine is a country with REAL agency because it is fighting a proxy war and listening to US generals and selling off all their land to US corporations.

Ukraine is fighting for its existence, Russia is fighting to subjugate Ukraine and rape its land and people.

Why do you devote so much energy to promoting Russian talking points?
> You probably agree with that statement while I have different intuitions.

I most certainly do not. That phrase has nothing to do with this discussion in fact - it applies to cases of making private statements either public or at least known to the state apparatus.

Private recordings of private conversations have no similar issue. In my opinion, recording a conversation you and I have is no different from keeping hold of a letter or an email that you sent me, and it's certainly not something I routinely fear.

And, when I do say things that I fear others may hear, I am not content with the fact that I could sue you for recording that information. I would go to technical lengths to actually try to ensure that you can't record it.

> Why should you think the law can protect you from anything? Because violating the law comes with a substantial potential cost, which is a risk many actors are not willing to accept.

The law has almost no power in private settings. Technically, if I bought a music CD from Sony, I am not allowed to play it to you, since that would require performance rights. Does Sony or anyone on the planet expect me to fear legal repercussions for doing so in the privacy of my home? Obviously not. It will only even become a possible legal issue if I start publicizing this in some way.

Similarly, even if it's technically illegal for me to hold recordings of my conversations with friends, it is in practice all but impossible for me to be prosecuted about it unless and until I publish them. Even if you suspected I did record our conversations, you would need significant proof of that before convincing a judge to issue a search warrant to try to prove I did. If I am simply keeping these for my own purposes and not sharing with others, you will never have such proof. So, even if it were deeply illegal, I would have very little reason to fear it in practice.

Ask HN: Stuck as a developer for 15 years. How to become a manager?
I've been a developer for entire 15 years career.

Used to enjoy but no more. Very difficult to tolerate the work. Every day is mental pain as I get older and younger folks are above me. It feels undignified, humiliating at times.

Stagnant in my current job for 6 years. No promotion opportunities. No motivation for the interview process.

Feels like i'm driving at 70km/hr towards a brick wall. Not close enough to panic. But no forks in the road also.

Can I leverage my experience (i think i have a lot..) to move into a management role when i don't have any job experience in that role?

Should I just lie on my resume?

Thanks
This is a great piece and I have bought the book. I'm expecting that in the decades ahead we will begin to see conferences on the conflict between science and atheism. Research into the question of the origin of life has put atheism to bed as a serious hypothesis, but there are still many common uneducated people who think atheism is a scientifically viable stance, and this perspective can even be found among academics who have not kept up with the latest advancements.

Isn't this just a function of a lot of these business models don't actually work?

Ie a lot of these are the equivalent of giving away free ( investor funded ) banana fritters, getting decent uptake and using it to declare that the market in banana fritters is huge, but when you start to charge for them it turns our the market is quite small.

Another way the business models don't work is the companies start off assuming no costs around policing - like a shop with no security whatsoever. Works fine for a while, but as it grows and people realise it's got no security they start to get targeted, and costs go up.

I'm not even asking for that, I'm just asking for people to use the "new" APIs (they're older than some of the programmers making these mistakes), which are agnostic to address family. Use them even vaguely correctly and your code won't care about what address family the addresses are.

Having bugs in untested functionality is understandable, but using long-deprecated known-broken APIs, or using the current ones in ways that are clearly and obviously wrong, isn't.

(Also you should be using, and therefore testing, v6 at this point. But that's a separate discussion.)

Yup, same. To be fair, I never wanted to hit ridiculous pokemon-like numbers. I just wanted to be in a romantic relationship. And I got my wish, and it is an even better experience than I thought it would be when I never had been in a romantic relationship.

The whole: "it will come", yea, didn't work. The whole: "don't search for it", didn't work. Hardcore goal direct action! That worked! :D

Starting your own side business to get the living expenses covered and then quitting and rolling a one man company.

> Seems like an obvious way to demoralize single men, make them feel worthless, depressed, unproductive. Which is to say if I were running a psy-op campaign against the West, I’d definitely be using that tactic.

I've dated girls that have been taller than me and I've also been rejected multiple times in person because of my height. It wouldn't surprise me if this kind of psy op thing is going on, but trying to gaslight men into thinking that some women don't take height or money into consideration and that it's all in their head is one of the main reasons why lots of guys are turning to muppets like Andrew Tate. People can't keep denying the lived experience of these men and hand wave it away as them just lacking confidence or having the wrong attitude. Women, just like men, aren't saints. A sizeable portion of them will reject you for completely arbitrary reasons like this and it will hurt. But you just have to accept it, take it on the chin without making a scene and find the women who won't.
