It would depend on how transformative the work is.

There is in fact a whole art form where people cut out words from different newspapers and books, for example, and re-arrange those words to form new and interesting art.

So there are ways in which such a work would be a creative work, and ways it which it would not, and it would depend on the particular instance and example.
Yes, my stepmother did that when she was young. Not sure what they did for it but when I met her she had a weird flap of tongue that could flip forward. That part never reattached. It was disturbing and fascinating to 10 year old me.
Not quite that simple. Even isotonic water would probably be too corrosive for existing pipework.

interesting to see the hypothesis about reading more papers being borne out:

# increase the success rate as the player reads more papers
probability: 0.60 + player.readPapers / 100 - itemCount('idea') / 20

Also interesting to see that passing the qualification exam provides the largest player.hope boost (+10)

renting assumes previous users properly maintained these seats. Car seats are "supposed" to be disposed of in the event of a collision due to possible cracks or other fatigues in the structure not necessarily visible to the end user. If you rent, you have to assume the seat was not in a structurally significant event. That's a lot of trust.

I’m working on this for Rails apps at https://github.com/oldmoe/litestack/pull/12

The idea is that people with small-to-medium size Rails Turbo apps should be able to deploy them without needing Redis or Postgres.

I’ve gotten as far as deploying this stack _without_ LiteFS and it works great. The only downside is the application queues requests on deploy, but for some smaller apps it’s acceptable to have the client wait for a few seconds while the app restarts.

When I get that PR merged I’ll write about how it works on Fly and publish it to https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/.
FWIW, they had said that they didn't write it originally and had found it "somewhere on the Internet". Searching for "pid: .pipeline.id, tid: .id, ts" has turned up this, which might be the original source (if it is in fact the same script as I am on a phone and didn't 100% check):

IMO this isn't even an instruments problem. There have been many crashes stemming from pilots diagnosing the wrong engine as the problem and shutting down a working engine.

Where's the NTSB recommendation on creating an official policy on HOW to diagnose an engine? The abnormal checklists only tell you to "shut down the broken engine" but leave it up to you to ad-hoc a way to diagnose the problem in an emergency, which is the wrong time to be inventing something non-trivial. Boeing/Airbus/GE/Rolls royce, whoever should have an official document describing a procedure to test an engine for failure that pilots are expected to refer to unless it would be unsafe
Most likely because you can't guarantee how it has been used once the first customer has used it. And that will lead to major legal problems if e.g. it has been in a crash and is now compromised, but nobody noticed, then failed to protect the 2nd child.
If they know the code base well, it shouldn't be that hard to undo intern-level shortcuts.

There's another failing here which is that quality wasn't gated well enough.
They also artificially shut down the apparently fully functional extension ecosystem on Android for no given reason, despite repeatedly stating that they would not do so. There still is one purposefully complicated workaround to use all store extensions, so we know it's about power, not compatibility. The crucial ability to use non-store extensions was entirely axed during that transition, also no reason given. This is how they were able to ice out anti paywall extensions recently.

Mozilla management has a history of consistently steering Firefox towards being less and less of a user agent.

This is why I think that if you trust Mozilla as a steward of the Firefox browser, you have not spent much time following their behavior.

"Likely to run them over"? Please.

> You're back to the word "civilians" again. And I don't accept that law enforcement's lives are worth less than lawbreakers' lives.

Because they are civilians! That's the definition! Words mean things!

You don't have to accept that cops are less important than civilians. I think your position is wrong and gross, but I concede that there's a discussion to be had about rules of engagement. We could have that, if you were packing for it.

But you want call me out for dirty pool about the word civilian?

How about lawbreaker?

In a liberal society, it is the job of a court to decide who's a lawbreaker. Cops don't make law and cops don't prescribe punishment. If we're talking about dirty pool, loading that implication onto an extrajudicial execution should make it really hard for you to look in the mirror. I hope you've got the same energy for taking one in the ten-ring when you go five miles an hour over the speed limit in an area with a few curb cuts. After all, you could have hit someone.

Side note:

People here often say that hardware is hard, but I think OSHW has the upside of de-risking it too (although I might be somewhat biased in my enthusiastic support of OSHW). If other people are producing it (from 3d printing at home to commercial manufacturing), you don't have manufacturing risks at all. The large costs and difficulty involved are probably mostly around manufacturing. Also by extending the development phase and working closely with customers you can find a product-market fit more naturally (and iterate if it fails... or just abandon it, I guess). If all goes wrong you've contributed an open source project...

The hard part of course in that case is convincing your users and any company that decides to manufacture your hardware to pay you. But not unheard of, see LumenPNP (https://opulo.io/products/lumenpnp)

My dream is a completely (or almost completely) open society, where most development is open and people collaborate more or less freely, and we have good mechanisms (and enough good sense individually?) to reward and invest in all this work.
The foam doesn't stay good for long, I think the car seats we had expired after 6-7 years?

Also car seats can't be used after a crash, even if visually they looked ok. Maybe they could be refurbished (new foam, etc), but obviously this is a liability concern and probably isn't worth it.
You can always tell a true senior developer by the overabundance of imposter syndrome they carry around with them. Green programmers can see their successes - experienced programmers can see their flaws... the best programmers I've ever met can intuit which parts of a green programmer's system probably have bugs by just listening to them talk about it and focus in on the parts they don't go into detail about.
This as a feature attached to their containers would be pretty spiffy tbh. But as you said, if it was entirely user-controlled.

Modern computers are VMs all the way down. x86 is also not implemented in hardware. The x86 machine is actually a VM running on top of the microarchitecture.

So cool, and I love all the mentions of "fun" :-)

I remember implementing a "kiosk" but the way my employer wanted it was a full screen electron/react app running on a windows server. It was such a pain working around windows to grab full screen, start a GUI application and so on... all the while I kept thinking, this could be a "simple" Qt/QML app running on frame buffer on an RPI! Heck, we could even customize the startup screen, and it would be easily a magnitude faster with 1/100 the hardware!
Why waste clock cycles decompressing those textures instead, especially considering the rise of DirectStorage and similar technologies?
We are attempting to make some sensors used in the automotive industry, I am currently tied to a client but will start up our internal development again during the autumn.

Can someone enlighten me about one thing.

I kind of like deno when it came to its package management. I hate npm and I liked that deno tried to disrupt ecosystem.

Now when deno bent over and accepted npm reality, is it possible that few years later they'll just switch over to it entirely and abandon their old ways of packaging?

I understand that it's easier to sell deno to developers when they can import npm package. And deno wants to make money, so taking a hard stance is a bad financial option in the short term.

Still I'd love to take a bet on deno. But if deno is just another npm... Well, setting up node + typescript + eslint + prettier sucks, but not so much.
There's nothing "supernatural" about thinking that an AGI could be smarter than humans, and therefore behave in ways that we dumb humans can't predict.

There's more mumbo-jumbo in thinking human intelligence has some secret sauce that can't be replicated by a computer.
Ask HN: Guides, books or repos for LLM fine-tuning
Hi everyone, I’m a student working on my thesis. I need to do classification using LLM fine-tuning and have access to my university’s HPC resources. I’m looking for guides, books or repositories that can help me understand how to do LLM fine-tuning. I don’t have a budget for training using APIs, but I’m interested in understanding what the cost would look like. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much!
I had picked my advisor at the start of my PhD. I also had 2 backups. My pick was on sabbatical my first year. He and I agreed I'd load up on the required classes that year.

He e-mailed me right before the year ended saying he had changed his mind and didn't want any more grad students, basically dumping me.

Right around the same time, my first backup decided to retire.

My second backup passed away.

I was left no longer making "sufficient progress" and no path to do so, losing my financial aid.
I've read the faq and i'm a bit confused - you are introducing me to 3 tools/companies: B2B Saas Kit, Fog Bender, and Prompts with Friends. I have a bad understanding of all 3, instead of a great understanding of one of them, which I assume should be b2bsaaskit.

It's an instructional bundle - what does that mean? an opinionated cli tool? a starter repo? a set of tutorials/videos about how to use these services in your starter app? do i use chatgpt (prompts with friends) to build the app?

it looks like you use astro as the framework for a serverless react SPA? supabase as backend? can i choose a different backend now vs later (fastapi/etc)?

i think flushing out the homepage can def help quite a bit, :). edit: looks like the github readme is the helpful page to read, not the homepage/faq.

Solidity Developer Job Description: Responsibilities, Salary and Requirements
Solidity is a programming language that supports blockchain technology, and the role of a Solidity developer is becoming more critical as blockchain-based applications expand. The article has covered the job description, requirements, responsibilities, salary, and demand for Solidity developers. With a niche set of skills, Solidity developers stand to earn a higher salary, and their demand in the market is likely to increase.
> These advertising companies extract the excess wealth created by the labour of the news-reporting media without compensation.

I can't tell if this is serious or sarcasm. If it is serious, can you explain how Facebook and Google are getting rich from including links to news web sites on their platforms? I haven't seen any evidence of this. On the contrary, platforms like Facebook drive a lot of traffic to news sites, which becomes ad revenue for the news publishers.

> The people of Canada decided that this is unfair

Is there some polling to support this assertion? People may want to "stick it to Big Tech" but most of the support for this policy has come from legacy media who think that it will bring in free money for them.
I'll use this as an opportunity to plug the regex crate's new 'extract' API. :-)

use regex::Regex;

fn main() {
println!("{:?}", extract("1973-01-05 09:30:00"));
}

fn extract(haystack: &str) -> Option<(&str, &str, &str, &str, &str, &str)> {
let re = Regex::new(
r"([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2}) ([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})",
).unwrap();
let (_, [y, m, d, h, min, s]) = re.captures(haystack)?.extract();
Some((y, m, d, h, min, s))
}

Output:

Some(("1973", "01", "05", "09", "30", "00"))

That gets you pretty close to what you want here.

(The regex matches more than what is a valid date/time of course.)
Going to the stars at all costs is similarly destructive.

I have the opposite experience. I always thought I was a good programmer (self taught when I was a kid, then studied in a reputable place where I ranked among the best students). Then I confronted myself with the real world where I feel I'm not special, and that coding is only a small part of what we do. Apart from school or programming contests, we rarely get evaluated purely on our coding abilities, and there's always so much we don't know.

That being said, there are things that boosted my confidence, such as getting offers from FAANG. But it was temporary. Software engineering still seems like a tedious and hard activity. And it's getting worse now that everything is distributed.
The need to separate “fun” from “productivity and learning” is part of the problem. Make learning fun and engaging.

When I wrote my first code that entered production and saw that it worked and produced value for my company, that's when I gained my first real confidence in my craft. And this still holds true, every time I put code into production that works flawlessly and is properly tested it gives me a boost.
Nice! This wins :)

I had to modify it a bit to get it to work cross-platform, but the approach does appear to be sound:

I had originally written "Hint: it probably isn't what you think it is, if it's even possible", but after testing for a bit, I updated my comment in what was apparently a fit of hubris to say you couldn't.
>This customer is not only right, but is representative of a whole class of customers that you need to learn to win over.

That's not always true. If a certain subset of customers wants something ridiculous, they can either go elsewhere or learn to adapt. For better or worse, companies often times have the ability to drive public sentiment just as much as they have the responsibility to pander to it. When Apple removed headphone jacks from all their products they did so against a torrent of outrage, but fast forward 5-7 years and they absolutely made the right call. People learned to get over it.

Catering to bordering-on-harmfully-obsessive parents isn't always the best call.

The Kioma difference in materials quality and performance is both quantifiable and qualitative. We have to charge a price that covers our work in design and production costs. But I completely get it if the Kioma seat is too expensive for your preferences.

This doesn't work. Try setting up a test directory as follows:

touch first$'\n'file
touch .hidden$'\n'file
mkdir folder$'\n'.
touch folder$'\n'./another$'\n'file

There are two files in the folder, or three if you want to count files in subdirectories too.

Your solution incorrectly outputs 7.

Perhaps not the best brand to invoke for a product where reliability is paramount. If you want to convey both luxury and reliability I'd go with Lexus (fancy Toyota).
You seem to be agreeing with the author, who notably compares it with railway mania.

> Technologically, fiber communication has been a
brilliant success.

> The bubble warped the financial picture. Looking back,
Odlyzko compared the millennial bubble to the British rail-
way mania of the 1840s ...

> Looking back, the most important lesson from the fiber
optic mania may be that the most successful technologi-
cal revolutions can be the messiest. The bigger the profit
potential, the more manic investors become and the less
critical judgement they use.

And the concrete takeaways depend on exactly who you are, but "selling out early" before the bubble pops seems to be the story of the big individual winners in this story.

Also for me (very specific to people starting in late 90s) realising I wasn't the only person that thought forced 'object oriented' programming was bullshit. 25 years later this style has gone out of trend, and a lot of people realise that Alan Kay meant something more like the actor model than Java.
