Thank you for moving the web forward. Proton mail does a lot of things well, and there's more to do. I was auditing DANE support and PM was one of the few I found with support.
I agree that message passing can be a really good choice. The problem is the overhead of passing large messages can be really substantial. In general, you'll need to store messages in memory 4x per message (at least temporarily): once on each end for the Python representation and the serialized "on the wire" representation. There's also the issue with `pickle` generally being a horrible serialization format and being the default.

There are ways around this, Python has a rather rudimentary and archaic shared memory subsystem[0] that can make this much more efficient.

On the other hand, the Python multiproccessing sync primitives actually work over a network with almost no code changes, so you can horizontally scale with little effort... but then you're paying the serialization and network overhead, so ymmv.

It's very possible that ranking will be a lot better for threads though, simply because NLP models are currently so much better than what exists for video
I agree. I've run a support team for a mid-sized SaaS company for many years and have so far resisted any outsourcing. Unsurprisingly, Support is one of the commonly cited high points of our product. The members of my team are well trained and knowledgeable and can escalate things easily so that the vast majority of customer problems can be resolved satisfactorily.

The challenge with resisting outsourcing is justifying the cost of it. I try and frame it as: what is the likelihood that a customer churns if their problem goes unresolved?

Of course in our case, each customer represents thousands of dollars in ARR, so that's an easier argument to make.
Talking of excellent Doom mods, Ashes 2063 is a mix of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout.

It's standalone, so no need to patch an existing Doom install: https://www.moddb.com/mods/ashes-2063/downloads/ashes-stand-...

RagnarRox even made a video about it a week ago (which is how I found out about it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5_zJoJhbOM&t=418s
Working conditions are also a factor.

Good luck finding a SCIF that's as pleasant as a home office.

But yeah, salary is a big issue. Defense work (whether as a civil servant or a contractor) just doesn't pay as well as VC-backed software development.

Although in the current job market, I have to say that the median pay gap seems to be smaller.
The format of the race makes it very difficult to have two separate categories (men and women), IMHO.

They could indeed open the race to anyone so that both men and women could compete in the race, but then women would trail men and have no chance of winning. This means they would also have to impose a number of women per team as otherwise no team would hire women.

So it's not a simple issue.
If you don't have a data connection then it's fine to give location data to an application because there's nowhere it can send it. With properly designed APIs, the app shouldn't be able to store the location data either, only display it to the user by calling the map API.
Gosh, you mean big corporations will be forced to compete on the basis of the quality of their products – instead of their ability to aggregate, destroy, and exploit the privacy of their users?
Yep, in the past they would advertise in newspapers or magazines or TV or radio where the vast majority of the audience had zero interest in buying a mattress anytime soon. Narrowing that down to "people who have recently searched for a mattress" is a win, even if that includes some people who already bought one. Despite what people think about Google being all-knowing, it's less likely that they know you bought a mattress than they know you searched for one.
I suspect there was some adjustment to insurance norms behind the scenes also, given the recent covid-19 lockdowns and resultant drop in foot traffic.

Or product reviews. I looked up “science of active noise cancelling headphones” to explain the science more easily to a friend, and 2/10 were actually what I wanted. The rest were “BEST HEADPHONES EVER?! What YOU need to know!”-type garbage.
Ask HN: Has anyone experimented with dynamic NN layer connections?
I recently saw a video of two neurones sensing each other and trying to connect. It inspired me to experiment with nodes "radiating" their weights and biases and other neurones trying to connect up based on some of their parameters. Has anyone ever done this or tried to? I'm not asking about the feasibility or any specific algorithm - I just think this might just help us see more emergent behaviour.

As another app developer, I don't care. You aren't meant to request permissions you don't legitimately need for the app to function. Everyone understands that a map or weather app needs access to precise location, or that an app that takes pictures needs access to the camera. But games requesting storage or location or microphone or contacts, and refusing to run without these permissions? They should rightfully get what they deserve.

Heck, even the internet access (android.permission.INTERNET) should be a runtime permission. A fakeable one, too.
Twitter doesn't have that provision. Most of the upstart competitors do.

Whether it will hold up in court doesn't really matter if you're dealing with a company that recently had a valuation of greater than $1 trillion who really just wants to make its smaller competitor go away.
Um, do you have a peer reviewed study to back up your claims?
This doesn't make sense. If the dev asks permission that creates good experience, the user is incentivized to give real data. Example, gps is required to navigate or find near by service. The user will happily provide.

But if you require gps to make a post, the user does not benefit from it. Unless they have an incentive to share their location, they do not need to give real data. Maybe the dev should give an explanation. If they receive a one star review, the developers should use it as feedback.

What does your `top` say? What does your browser's performance tool (e.g. `about:performance`) say?

I went from a constantly-overheated Linux laptop to a completely calm Linux laptop, on the same hardware, distro, and DE. Checking for unnecessary processes that eat CPU, spurious ACPI events, overly-heavyweight browser tabs goes a long way. Making sure the browser uses hardware support to play YouTube is another heavyweight.

It takes some time, but much less time than I had expected.
The purpose of versioning is to communicate something to your users. (It's also necessary to increase over time for package managers to work, but that's an easy bar to reach.) SemVer tries to explicitly define exactly what's being communicated: API compatibility. I think that's great, especially for libraries, but it's neither the whole story nor what's most meaningful for most projects.

The most obvious and nefarious example is that the most severe and painful kinds of backward incompatibilities are superficially permissible under SemVer: behavior changes. To confuse the issue even more these behavior changes might be to fix a bug and restore the original or intended behavior of a feature! There's no single best way to communicate that to users through a version number: if libfoo v1.4.3 broke a behavior from 1.4.{0,1,2}, should the fix be in v1.4.4 or v1.5 because technically you're creating a backward incompatibility! Does the answer change if the buggy behavior has been around multiple patch releases or multiple minor releases? Does the scale of the behavior difference impact the versioning scheme chosen? Does the approximate number of users impacted impact the versioning scheme chosen? Probably!

ZeroVer is, in my opinion, a hacky but fine solution to this: no guarantees! The developers just want to develop and it's up to the consumers of the project to figure out what release they want to use. ZeroVer is when a project chooses not to try to communicate very much through version numbers. I think that's often better than some strict adherence to SemVer that falls apart under any sort of reasonable scrutiny.

I like how browsers have gone: basically give up on the traditional Major Version Number. A Chrome 2 or Firefox 2 that is a radical redesign would probably be an entirely new product with new branding and versions. So just bump the first number a lot to communicate feature releases to users, and bump the other numbers for basically internal build reasons. The minor, patch, and build numbers are free to be used and abused for a lot of complex purposes incredibly complex and popular projects like browsers (and operating systems) have.

I think a lot of projects, Nomad included, would probably be best represented by BrowserVer. Nomad is deeply committed to incremental improvements and backward compatibility, so any "Nomad 2.0" efforts are more likely to happen under a new project. Frankly Nomad 1.0 was more about marketing than any sort of meaningful feature or compatibility promise: we wanted to communicate Nomad was stable and reliable. Going from 0.x -> 1.x is an easy way to communicate that even if nothing more significant happened from 0.12 -> 1.0 than had happened from any 0.X -> 0.Y.

That's weird, the stinger is an amazing weapon which allows an infantry to take out an aerial threat, which is quite amazing.

I don't understand why they would not secure the production of that missile, or even replace it with something new.

It's not like they don't have enough money to cover all possible sorts of weapons that can exist.

Some 15 years ago I had a breadboard with CMOS 4000 logic chips connected to a power supply, left the room and came back later to see it dead. I saw some faint burn marks on the breadboard.

I never figured out what caused this, but 99% it was my little brother swapping banana plugs to the supply. CMOS chips don't like that as ESD protection diodes are put in forward mode conducting a lot of current. Depending on power capacity of supply they may or may not survive.
Why search orgs fail (and occasionally succeed)
Depends on where you put the line between "open phone" and "baseband blackbox". Drivers are not an issue for phones like Librem 5 or PinePhone since they're using a separate modem module connected to the main SoC via USB and communicating over AT and QMI interfaces to which there are perfectly open drivers. The modem itself remains a vulnerable proprietary blackbox, but it does not have any access to your OS and you can cut it out from power while keeping the rest of the phone intact.

Open basebands are not something we're anywhere close to having though, for many reasons.
I have long thought there should be a virtual sandbox available for apps that generates fake data to apps according to preset stories. Like, tell one app I am a rich bachelor spending time in french riviera and another I am homeless in New york. Spoof gps, wifi and whatnot data that fits the pattern to the app. (I know, it would be hard)
It costs about 2-5M$ to buy or develop a new weaponized zero-click vulnerability that would allow you to simultaneously hack all 1,000,000,000 iPhones in use. So around 1/20 of a cent per iPhone.

That's not exactly true, there has been many variation of it before its return in 2022.

It's the opposite for javascript. Too much money is thrown at creating more and more nonsense.

Pick your poison: too little money at dealing with nonsense, or too much money on simple shit such that you spend all your time creating more and more layers of nonsense.
Which explains why I've been getting ads for brides' maid dresses.

However, it also seems as if a tuned LLM could look at the corpus of my on-line profile (mail, FB, HN) and produce a model of my attention and commentary (positive/negative). Then that model (or several models) could be tested against various ads to determine which are more likely to produce positive responses. Right now I think that would be too expensive except for very high value ads/targets, but perhaps pricing will come down and non-keyword based advertising might appear.
More guarantees like how? Genuinely curious. I’ve been working with Nest.js lately and it’s good but rails is still more plug and play in my opinion.

Both of them still exists, but of course in some situations it doesn't make sense, so there is a lot of leeway depending on the reviewers. My experience is positive here, I can't remember the last time an app did not allow me to not have an account or manually provide data when it made sense.

Samsung phones have a camera access and microphone access toggle.

Here's what I get when I turn it off:

Turn off Camera access?
All apps will be blocked from using the camera. Apps

empty black screen. For example, you can still make

It might changed perceived status by people who can't afford the illusion. (It wont change the way they talk, which is a dead giveaway to people within that class.)

If you can't easily afford an iphone or Audi, someone who can lease an audi and have a payment plan on an iphone looks like they have money.

Where once you make 6 figures, these seem like just another car/phone. Heck, when you buy cheap veblen goods like an Audi/iphone, it makes you look like you are compensating for your lack of income. Even 250k cars are barely impressive to a 6 fig earner because they can afford it too.

To a 6 fig earner, a hyundai and android are just the best tools for the job.
BAE Systems also comes to mind
Multiprocessing is great. Very easy to use and with the Manager(), passing data is easy enough, though very "slow" relatively speaking. It has to serialize the data, send it to the Manager process, then send to all the processes (I believe), and then deserialize it. Perhaps this nogil update can speed that up?
I think some of the aarch64 laptop have landed in the Linux kernel source tree.

I am currently using a C630 laptop wich could be considered a predecessor to the discussed model ( with an anemic 4GB of RAM), and following up some botched Windows update (Windows recovery put the system in a worst place). I decided to take the plunge and install Linux.

Hardware support is rough, and depends a lot on firmware file you would need to salvage from the windows partition.

So far without these files, among the most necessary stuff I would like to have.

- Wifi, I a coping with a wifi dongle, wich mean I am out of one of the 2 usb-c ports

- Sound ( usual linux problem, worked around the issue, with another dongle, or Bluetooth audio)

- External display support (worked on windows)

Otherwise, linux experience is leagues ahead of Windows, in terms of boot time and responsiveness.
Battery life is great for my use ( mainly write python and C code ). And far as battery life improvement, your mileage can vary, I haven't timed mine yet but can try and will report in a week about it (maybe you ca give me aome pointer to simulate the usual load your would put it through).

- podman work great

- sublime text run as smooth as it is on x86-64

- bios is an UEFI and I dont think it required a signed bootloader, although updating the setting to boot grub was not as straightforward.

- I am mainly using Wayland, with most of the caveats associated to it (Firefox does flicker a lot, so I am mainly using chromium)

On the most annoying side, I don't know if there is a way to configure the lid action, as it put the laptop on standby.

I would recommend, if only for the gain in thinness and if you are traveling a lot with your laptop.
Women can complete a Tour de France. A man will likely be the best athlete in every conceivable category. But, I can’t think of a single sport neither sex could meaningfully compete in if normalised against their own sex.
We need less reliance on cars: decent, cheap public transport, and shared cars for when that doesn't suffice can reduce dependence on imports and energy consumption. But it's not going to happen.
I don't know enough to agree that it's pointless, but I'd agree that when I looked at it I saw a lot of abstraction of already simple stuff (like the examples the post gives) and decided that for what I was doing it would be faster and easier to understand to just write my own python script. Though I can picture for very inexperienced developers the abstractions may be helpful short term?

> Apps must gracefully handle it and continue running.

Would this include… not doing anything? A notice that to use the app that you must grant access?

I hate apps that do that … BUT:

I am thinking of a logistics application that I wrote that requires location access. It effectively serves no purpose without location access.

It’s a small app that we offer to our clients. Not an app for the general public. But it is a situation where I don’t want the app to continue doing anything without location access.
I would argue the level of abstraction it provides lowers the barrier to entry for most average programmers, myself included. LllamaIndex was my entrance to programatically utilizing LLMs. I have since moved to LangChain, with some documents loaded via LlamaIndex, but it has been a blast.
