skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
There are very few incidents I want (or need) to follow to the minute - usually local events that affect my life like maybe a hazardous chemical spill or a fire.

I don't need 24 hour news. I can get the summary every morning or evening about what happened and that's just fine.

Especially with the Russia/Ukraine war there is so much crap floating around as "news" that's 50% correct at best that you get the wrong impression if you follow too closely to the twitter/telegram rumours.
GPT 4 pre nerf was terrible at reviewing non-trivial or non textbook code. I've decided to test it for a few weeks by checking stuff I caught in review or as bugs, to see if it would spot it. It was like 0% on first try (would always talk about something irrelevant) and after leading it with follow up questions it would figure out the problem half of the time and half of the time I'd just give up leading it.

These were tricky problems that were small scope - I've picked them so I could easily provide it to GPT for review.

So I doubt larger context window will do much.
It's a cool site for sure, but it's also hype-driven and buzzword heavy.

Remix is also run by/evangelized by people who: 1. hype their own work on Twitter with misleading comments, 2. released their framework as "pay-only" intially, 3. sell expensive coursework for their own tools instead of, yknow, having adequate documentation.

Remix also spun off into its own company before being acquired by Shopify. In fact, the whole "open-source library spins off into a company" is kind of creepy to me, although I'm sure not all are bad actors.

I found this, for example.

Thankfully there is quite an overlap between Wiki's page and this one.

But to me, the tone feels way more reassuring in NIH's page than on the wiki one. There are a lot more positive points/sentences there.

I deleted my account this morning, with a backup natch - nice thing about Mastodon, I can start up exactly where I left off, including whatever followers come over to the non-Meta side of the schism.

People act like the schism Fedi being small is a bad thing, I don't think we're supposed to interact with the entire planet as individuals. We apes do not have the capacity to handle it.
Even though I prefer Python, I find Ruby can be very beautiful. Allowing ? and ! as part of variable and function names is very nice.
The documentation is itself fairly funny, for those who don’t care to click ahead:

> This "function" has a superficial similarity to ‘unsafePerformIO’ but it is in fact a malevolent agent of chaos. It unpicks the seams of reality (and the IO monad) so that the normal rules no longer apply. It lulls you into thinking it is reasonable, but when you are not looking it stabs you in the back and aliases all of your mutable buffers. The carcass of many a seasoned Haskell programmer lie strewn at its feet.

Interesting. I always thought of Prime Video and Amazon Studios as loss leaders. Also they were investing so much into the studio as to become the dominant leader in 20 yrs as they streamline the process and pump out IP more efficiently (similar to AWS).

Seems like they are going backwards or current CEO doesn’t have the backbone to make it happen.
pell.js does nothing for a developer who wants to build an experience like Notion or Google Docs. Pell’s approach is to say “ok browser do whatever you want”. Very hard to make that collaborative, build complex UI within it, or even predict the resulting HTML structure coming out of it. No chance to do custom layout on top of Pell.
Gnome’s “intended” workflow of using many workspaces and heavy use of key binds is very efficient. I’ve been using it for several years and actually learned how to use it the way the developers intended and it’s way more efficient and polished than every other desktop environment. Frankly, I think people think a desktop should be like windows xp and complain that Gnome is different.
> Stop worshiping techbros.

You know I read all this, and it’s good, but then I get to this last line and all I want to do is tell you to fuck off with your needless, baseless attack on my beliefs. I don’t give a shit about Elon but even if I did you have now contextualized this otherwise fine discussion you’ve written with hefty research into this invitation for a dumbass mudslinging. This is so stupid and undermines everything else you have written.

I would be curious to ask about the salience of the issue you’ve brought up. I’m not convinced fixing it would actually result in everything being fine.
That's mostly because movies are a condensed media ... Books have all the time in the world to make up convoluted background stories

Which is why all of the creative energy has moved into serialized TV shows. Movies are almost completely creatively bankrupt these days, having become a never-ending stream of CG-spectacles and superhero plots.
Ask HN: How to Raise Capital for a Bakery?
My dad has owned a bakery for 25+ years, and has decided to sell, and I am interested in trying to buy the land ($1.5m) and revamp it into a multi-concept bakery/cafe/bar/restaurant. I've spent years working in food, restaurant, operations, reading bread science and bread books, and am ready to make the leap. How do folks find funding for a bakery concept?
Well. That is an annoying password to have to change. Most of the I don’t care much because I just generate a new one and away I go.

The Microsoft password is one I couldn’t just copy paste from a password manager and now I have to change and relearn it.

Damnit.
You can block sunlight with nothing more than a bunch of mylar confetti. It's easy and cheap, and requires no additional infrastructure.

It's a terrible idea, but it at least merits a formal study ruling it out, because we're rapidly reaching the point where the only remaining ideas are terrible.

We don't need special space solar panels. Terrestrial solar panels suffice. It requires some earthbound infrastructure, but it does not require any novel inventions, just money and effort.

But we're rapidly reaching the point where even a completely decarbonized economy won't suffice, and emergency measures would be needed to keep large swathes of the earth habitable. Every one of those emergency measures are stupid and dangerous. But we're busy doing stupid-and-dangerous now by pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere every year, and we may require stupid-and-dangerous ways to limit the damage.
It's funny sometimes seeing what people reveal about themselves unintentionally when they rail against something; if the news is all of those bad things for you, then you're not working very hard to understand it.

"News" is literally just "what's happening around me". There's no bias in that. It's just a set of facts. News media outlets can be biased/partisan/etc. but bias doesn't just fall out of the sky to hold us hostage. You can account for it.
Almost all "residential" proxies are run without the knowledge of the user used as the proxy. Either it's slipped in the ToS/install of other legitimate product or straight up malware. A popular method, iirc, was bundling with free VPNs.

Last I looked into the discussion, the consensus was there was no particularly reputable residential proxy service.

Edit: I probably should explain the distinction for residential proxies. Basically, if you run a site that isn't B2B, you'll find basically no organic traffic comes from data centers/server farms. So traffic from IP blocks like owned by Microsoft (Azure), Amazon (AWS), Google (GCP), etc are all highly likely to be bot traffic and throttled or outright blocked by default. If you're running a scraper or a bot, you want to get your traffic to appear to come from residential IP blocks (owned by residential ISPs).
Not the same thing but a significant number of SpaceX employees also work at Starbase lol
I think you may be misunderstanding me to say that I was unaware that codeweavers existed, but that wasn't the issue. The issue at hand is whether "bottles" ripped that terminology from codeweavers. I have been plenty aware of codeweavers existence, but that doesn't mean I had any reason to believe they were the originators of using "bottles" to mean what it means today. What my previous comment intended to say, was that I had no idea codeweavers coined the term "bottles" and I don't know that it's fair to assume "bottles" assumed it was something exclusive to codeweavers.

Why would anyone assume that was some pseudo-trademark of codeweavers? It's not particularly clever and anyone could come up with it. I would've assumed literally anyone in the wine ecosystem could've come up with it and given codeweavers (nor anyone else) did not file for a trademark then that suggests they don't care that it was "ripped" from them to begin with.

My whole point of view is that there seems to be some assumption of malice or feelings slighted where there's no evidence that codeweavers feels slighted or that bottles was being malicious. I generally think the internet would be a much better place without assumptions of malice.
I disagree. Government run social media has no reason to promote engaging(antagonizing) content towards you. You log in, see a post or two from your local, state, and Federal representatives and departments that no longer have to post on a dozen different private social media to disseminate public info and some post from people you have specifically chosen to follow. A chronological feed too, the site doesn't need to keep you scrolling and engaged to view ads.

Open up the API and let people layer their own engagements on top of it.
> Everything else, I will pirate without guilt.

I ask this without irony: is there even anything worth sourcing from the high seas these days? Entertainment has largely turned to crap in my opinion.
They may have the longest streak of successful launches, but among their cavalier attitude to safety, as seen with the latest starship launch and the chief twat playing it fast and loose with his security clearance, they can't be described in any way as reliable. The FAA can halt launches for any reason. His allegiance to China and Russia certainly won't help.

Is it the idea of contacts that you don’t like? My wife is in the -15 to -16 range with astigmatism and has worn contacts for 25 years. She doesn’t have any abnormal trouble with VR when wearing them. At -11 you can still get glasses lenses at all the budget places, 1.74 refractive index even!

> The problem is you can vote people out. But the same two parties remain.

Calling them "the same parties" is close to hiding the ball. Those parties have shifted and diverged in multiple directions over their history. See the Civil Rights era for an obvious one--or the rapid separation of both current parties, today. The generally-socdem push of the left wing of the Democratic Party is working to change policy and position. (The reactionary push of the right wing of the Republican Party is working even more dramatically.)

> Which presidents wanted to be dictators? If someone wanted to be a dictator, they wouldn't run to be president in the first place.

This doesn't make any sense at all. Why would they not run? Plenty of authoritarians all over the world and throughout history have come to power through democratic means!

As for "which President", Donald Trump comes to mind for very obvious reasons around attempting to retain power through extralegal means. Whether he has the functioning cognitive capacity to understand what a dictatorship is an open question, but it does not change that he attempted to retain executive control via force and fiat.
Yeah, but you would probably listen to a Neurologist about your lack of a foot problem if 99 out of 100 podiatrists told you 20 years ago that your perfectly healthy foot would fall off in 10 years if you didn't stop driving your car or you didn't pay them the money every day for the rest of your life.
It looks redundant in the presence of ClickHouse, which covers these usage scenarios perfectly.
I really hope you're right about it not being decades away

NL and their stikstofcrisis is a legal thing. Individuals (on average) don't care about climate the way people do in Germany (on average). An example involving more than just direct friends and family: I wanted to join friends in NL in a protest on a global strike day a few years ago because nobody in Germany wanted to go with me, only to find that in NL there weren't any protests going on that I could propose for us to go to. A small one in the Hague or Amsterdam I think, nothing close enough for us to reasonably join. There's groups for climate in NL as well, but they're so much smaller.
I've been seeing a sharp dichotomy between the data source originators and the ones processing it. For the folks that originate data, Excel seems to be such a native language that it is hard to move too far away from it. For processing, absolutely consider parquet or similar.

Such that it really depends who you are talking to about which format you should use. Ideally, it seems, support both. Allow rapid ingress and egress of data to/from Excel in whatever way that you can. CSV is the common stopgap between the two, with loads of sharp edges on loading it into Excel.
x86 machine code is a type of program, which is interpreted by the processor, but distributing the binary of my program doesn't make it open source.
I agree that there is a balance between customization and "cleanness" in design and implementation.

However, I think the GNOME 3 and 4 designers went too far and alienated many users:

When a designer's "coherent vision" eclipses the needs of the software's users then users get frustrated and either fork the project or go to another project. MATE (https://mate-desktop.org/), Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon), and Unity (https://unityd.org/) exist largely because of how far the GNOME 3 designers went and how they were not willing to compromise their "coherent vision":

I never used PRIMEOS, but have heard it described as a smaller version of Multics.

I've never heard PR1MEOS referred to that way, but it makes a lot of sense. It was a lot easier to wrap one's brain around than the competition.
> Lol. The Falcon 9 has the longest streak of successful launches of any rocket in history.

Launch reliability is one aspect. For Europe, the possibility of SpaceX or the US itself cutting them off from access to space is one to consider in the calculus.

Same reason the US is likely to still fund non-SpaceX launches/ventures, even if more expensive.
> A college or uni degree should carry the same weight wherever you study at.

There is no inherit weight, but humans are drawn to shiny things. Similarly, someone who turns up in a Ferrari is going to be seen differently than someone who shows up in a rusty old farm truck. If someone establishes an emotional connection to a school, perhaps because they are alumni themselves, that just might be the shiny they need to see, whether it is meaningful or not.
Is it a thick client app that you cannot use the password manager? Or just a web page that adds "onpaste=..." handlers to make life unnecessarily difficult? The latter can be "fixed" with some JS console magic.
I think it is important and in fact moral to spend some more time understanding politics, but still don't think news is a good way to do it. Reading a few books and discussing topics With Friends will do far more than sifting through countless shallow news stories.
You will not have stolen in the same way that Google/FB don't "steal" your data.
Instead, the end user is simply forced into the position to give away their IP to you, where you can adjust the licensing per your whims, even to sell it back to them.
It's fine to consider your lack of contributors is related to the "no individual" contributors" choice that you have made, but it would be disingenuous to avoid recognition of how your choices probably result more in "no contributors".
A gamble vs. gambling; English is weird, the former means a general risk/reward bet, whereas the latter means to take undue risk for entertainment purposes.

Buying individual stocks is the act of taking unknown risk for entertainment purposes.
This is a somewhat pedantic and useless comment. Of course definitions can change, but the notion of "open source" hasn't changed in any significant and notable fashion since it was first coined in the late 90s. Feel free to disprove me.
> So it's equivalent to async, but it's still synchronous. Nice.

Based on your description this is equivalent to async/await implemented with callbacks but not async/await implemented via polling.
Presumably there are companies that consider your social media part of your personal life and beyond the purview of corporate scrutiny. Maybe the reason why the author felt entitled to act this way was because their company permitted them to tweet like this prior to the VMWare acquisition.
substack just went medium? Would love to read, but not that much.
> So, why doesn’t it exist? Can nation-states simply not build software? That can’t be true.

It can be true. It's an achievement when good software is made in the private sector, it's a miracle when it's made in the public sector. Quick, name your five favorite government websites. I can name a couple decent ones, but they're all pretty simple web apps that just do the thing they're supposed to do without sucking, none of them are impressive. Now multiply the complexity, because it's a social media platform. I don't know of a government that I think could do that well, even (especially) they just did it all through contractors, which is what they'd probably do. And it would cost way more than he estimates, precisely because it's the government doing it.

And social media seems to be winner take all (or most). That is, if there is a clear leader, everyone moves to it, and all the runners up go away. If the government social platform had to compete in a marketplace against Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc.? Come on man, it's not happening. A lot of people hate these platforms, and in our bubble it seems like most people hate them, but the reality is that more people distrust their government than their social media platform, rightly or wrongly.
My comment, literally everything after the only bit you seem to have read, contextualises and explains why it's important.

Sure, it's not the raw fact that it's 4 octets. It's the fact that it's not any other number, especially the fact that it's a finite resource.
This article reads like an opportunistic advertisement for Weibo, using the Twitter turmoil to say "Come to Weibo and you'll get more followers and also money maybe?". As another user commented, "Sixth Tone" is a state-owned English language media outlet. It reminds me of TikTok where people would join and suddenly 'go viral' with tons of views. Real or not, that mechanism acts to hook new users.

On a side note, I've never been able to access content on Weibo at all (including those mentioned in the article). Links go to some looping Sina Visitor System.

Upvote from me. I couldn't have written it better myself. Async is a bug not a feature. The only problem with threading (aka CSP aka goroutines aka actors) is scalability to very large numbers of threads. imho it's better to focus on solving that problem than on switching to an unworkable alternative concurrent model.
How are half these things open hardware? Most of the items list can be found, and probably are, on a no-name aliexpress page.

> The ethical license category applies to licenses that allow commercial use of the component but includes field of endeavor and/or behavioral use restrictions set by the licensor.

I don’t love the name, “ethical license” sounds like a description of the license: this license is ethical. Really this sort of license imposes a particular ethical framework on the user.

Not to throw shade, though. It is actually hard to come up neutral sounding name for this sort of license I think. I keep thinking of things like “morality encumbered license,” but that sounds ridiculously euphemistic in a weird way.

> this is true for every country on the planet

No, it's a cultural thing. There's really two points in that article:

- (1) people are overestimating the actual lifetime effects of attending an elite school.

- (2) people are obsessing over attending (or their children attending) elite schools.

That second one is a spiritual failure, not just one of ignorance. That upper middle-class obsession with the brand of education may not be uniquely american (i read similar horror stories about china for example), but it is certainly very pronounced here. It is in no way similar to how kids and families choose universities in say western europe imho.
I like this idea! It reminds me of the show The Circle where they read everyone's daily status posts in a similar UI.
IMO "monitors you wear on your head" is more immediately useful than a "heads up display you bring with you everywhere". I would love more screen real estate for work. Don't necessarily want more ads overlaid on everything when I go for a walk.

I wouldn't call this working, civil rights aren't doing as well as they were 10 years ago (just as one example).

American society has taken multiple large steps backwards precisely because people have been convinced to vote against their own self interest.
Weights are data, not a type of program.

A computer program is a set of instructions that may be executed. Weights are values that may be loaded by a program, but are not a program in and of themselves.
If the facts are accurate and these identified people did in fact migrate to Weibo, does it matter?

> maybe there was a bigger migration to other platforms?

The article isn't at any point making the claim that all users are moving to Weibo.

It specifically mentions an identifiable set of artists, and then speaks about their experiences having migrated.

That's it

Are you claiming those facts or the reporting around them are in some way inaccurate?

Frankly, you seem to be looking for controversy where there is none. I'm as concerned about the behaviour of the CCP as anyone (and as an aside, the total disappearance of the Uighur story in the media is extremely concerning to me) but there's a point where it starts to veer into sinophobia.
