I know many people that have gone to top schools on athletic scholarships and achieved academicly and beyond school. I don't know many with high standardized testing scores and not thing else going for them at top schools, so it is hard to say how that plays out. I know many that have ended up at not top schools because they have high testing scores which would have helped them get into top schools if they had anything else going for them. Many of those have failed at not top schools. So what do you mean when you say things don't play out that way at top schools?
This feels like a good outcome for the machine. It can't tell whether you intended it to be a cat, and you told it ogre, which is after all a made-up creature. But it did take note of what it could.
This is like shooting yourself in the foot. Billionaires will just move their wealth elsewhere. The only things this would accomplish are weaken the US economy and the dollar.

Plenty of kids get away with being stupid. If those same kids knew that they would have to provide for themselves once they turned 18, they would be studying and learning to work.

A welfare society trains children to be stupid.

A free market trains children to work.
I know that when romans invented latin they transliterated greek letter Φ to P. So I checked the name written in greek and sure enough it could be abbreviated as paco if you don't know how to pronounce it : Φραγκίσκος

That’s funny because Trump v. Hawaii proves the opposite. Obama was the one who identified those specific countries. They just happened to all be Muslim. Trump said he wanted to ban Muslims, but did so by using a list of countries that Obama had generated based on presumably non-racist reasons.
It seems like it could well be fake. The Twitter account that launched this paper [1] links to a website [2] for the company with a fake address and what seems like fake employees (they all have no LinkedIn profiles).

The address is 500 Baudrillard Drive, San Francisco, CA 94127 which doesn't exist, but Jean Baudrillard [3] was a French sociologist and philosopher focused on media, culture, technological communication, and the concept of “hyperreality”

Heh, that is probably more useful advice than the freaking essay I wrote in response.
> Generate a private key on VSCODE (not LAPTOP) for that GITHUB repo. This key will be used only on that originating remote server (VSCODE), never anywhere else.

This gives anyone compromising the server at a point in time persistent access to your Github repo.

Ultimately, there's two or three different possible models here (transparent SSH proxying, agent forwarding, key-per-host), with different tradeoffs. Although transparent proxying is usually the safest, it doesn't always work and here's no one-size-fits-all.

The Columbo Method
That would be the military in every country except perhaps the Taliban who use Toyota pick up trucks to get around. In fact the US military left them a load of equipment to play around with, in the psychological hope they might get a taste for some gas guzzling big boy toys.

I know jet engines are incredibly efficient which is why they are used on planes, but seriously, the military's are the greenhouse gas elephants in the room but how can you argue with them, knowing you'll have an accident in the future or be looking down the barrel of a gun, because the military are simply organisations of death?

"Among the world's biggest consumers of fuel, militaries account for 5.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a 2022 estimate by international experts.

But defence forces are not bound by international climate agreements to report or cut their carbon emissions"

Smoking and drinking have been illegal for minors that entire time; this data does not show that prohibition itself has been effective (or ineffective).
Directly surfacing the effects involved, e.g. HTTP calls via all the event handlers through layers of nesting, would indeed be nice.
That’s spot on. I work at a large cloud provider and one of our larger eCommerce customers had an outage in a kubernetes cluster which handled the front end traffic routed through a large CDN provider. Well sure enough “just turn it back on” wasn’t an option since the surge of traffic was too rapid for the services and the cluster to scale out. They ended up having to turn the traffic back on incrementally to let things scale up to the point where they could handle the load.
Log Formatters in C#
"Log formatters are components responsible for formatting log messages in a specific way. They take raw log data, such as timestamps, log levels, and message details, and transform them into a human-readable format. Log formatters greatly help in the analysis and comprehension of log entries, making troubleshooting and debugging easier."
Here's some insights for what I believe to be the most popular ML repo out there right now, which is ggerganov/llama.cpp

https://devboard.gitsense.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

The popularity of this project is kind of insane (which probably explains why it was able to raise fairly easily).

If you take a look at

https://reviews.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=merged%3Atrue...

you can see all the merged pull requests (for PRs created within the last 120 days). And if you look at the "gift icon" you can see how long the contributors have been contributing to the project for. For many, it's less than 4 months, which means many new contributors are successfully getting their changes merged.

Edit: Rejected PRs

Full Disclosure: This is my tool.
Speaking as a legacy Harvard admission, I wouldn’t say you get a lot of long term relationships beteeen legacy students and merit students. Some, for sure, but there are different social circles at Harvard. Check out the Harvard social clubs sometime.

That said this is a decades old anecdote rather than data.
This implies a much higher level of trust in a dev server than might be warranted, since an attacker can exfiltrate keys from that server and then permanently use them from elsewhere. Agent forwarding doesn't have that problem.

> That's the correct way to handle this situation, definitely not -A.

Maybe for your situation; certainly not for all. If agent forwarding was strictly inferior to ProxyJump/ProxyCommand, it would have been deprecated.
Estimate how long it will take to develop room temperature superconductors.

To assist you, let me paint a picture to put you in the right frame of mind:

You have never worked with superconductors of any kind and you’re not even a physicist. You’re one of those “scientist types” that are indistinguishable in the eyes of account managers.

You’re in a thirty minute Teams meeting with a disinterested project mismanager that wants not just a finish date (on a specific date), but the milestone dates on the way there.

You haven’t even met the team you’ll be working with. You haven’t yet spoken with the customer. Your “requirements” (lol) is literally just three words.

Your “obstinance” at refusing to be professional and “do your job” is being thrown in your face by the PM and is being recorded for your next review meeting.

Replace “room temperature superconductors” with any one of dozens of IT technologies or tasks and you have a nearly verbatim replay of my career and my challenges with estimation.

Here’s the thing: if you’re doing something for the first time, you can’t estimate it. If you’re doing it a second time, you can’t estimate it either because it’ll benefit from reuse in a way not experienced the first time. If you’re doing things three or more times in IT, you had better automate the process… another unpredictable first-time activity.

You’re either a meat robot doing repetitive work best done by scripts or LLMs - or by definition you are doing things for the first time and can’t estimate accurately.

I don’t do the equivalent of putting down roof tiles in my work.

Do you?

Step 0 should be open an issue to know if they’re at least interested, before starting implementing anything.

Natural History Museum’s new identity
Yeah it's terrible isn't it? Don't fall for the base accusation that it's "them from that side that do it." Did you see Matt Taibbi testifying. Plaskett & Wasserman Schultz showing us what they are?

The point is this is the kind of BS (and you're 100% right, it is awful) that you have to put in the "less important" basket if you want to get anything reformed ever.
If the parent buys the kid alcohol, then what?

This is an important question, because the kid doesn't own a credit card to pay for their gacha game purchases. It's the parent's card that authorizes the purchases.

What kind of controls would you like on these applications? Should everyone have to provide photoid and a running camera feed to prove that they're 18+ and it's actually them playing and not their kid? Pretty much every scenario to stop kids from playing, that isn't extremely invasive, is going to be weaker than a credit card requirement. And apparently a credit card requirement isn't a barrier.
The ArsTechnica article was about a paper by Morten Oksvold that claimed that 25% of cancer biology papers contain duplicated data.

One nuance is that his approach only focused on one easily identifiable form of fraud: Western blot images that can be shown to be fraudulent because they were copies of images use in different papers. Of all the potential opportunities for fraud, one must think that this must represent just a small portion.

If there are other nuances you care to mention, I'm all ears.

Instead, you refer to an entirely different article, as if the article I cited has no relevant content, which misleads casual readers of this comment stream. To paraphrase your comment in a less misleading way: "Inside this article you can find a link to an entirely different article whose content does not support the headline of the original article."
I use technology every day. I make technology every day.

But, during some briefs moments of clarity, I see that we take for granted more than what's intuitive or obvious.

In other words, I appreciate HTTP and servers moving information around, but I tend to forget that the mere existence of startups, airplanes, or modern cars are (relatively) extremely new as well.

What are extremely underappreciated pieces of technology out there? And who are the gods in our current society?
> It's so weird that Google still hasn't created the ability to block spam domains

by who??? Google itself "blocks" or downgrades spam websites all the time. If they open it up to "the people", the same SEO crowd will rush in with scrapers to decimate competition, including any legit websites. So strange to see people jumping into conspiracy theories here without thinking of the consequences for a second.
Scales are great -- but before or above that, I would say ear train. It's a secret (literally -- shockingly few musicians know about it given how useful it is) weapon. It only takes 15 minutes a day for a few months to be able to hear a melody and know what's being played (at least in relative terms -- perfect pitch is harder but unnecessary). After that you can literally study by simply listening to music, which is both more rewarding and more enjoyable than practicing patterns.

(Okay, technically a song is a pattern. But it's a really nice one.)
It was arguably still not necessary to post the complete exploit chain/proof-of-concept on the same day, since the chaining of four different shared libraries present in Ubuntu probably does not immediately follow from the diff introduced by the fix.

Just add tracks, weld the cars together, remove the driving seats, replace the fancy NNs by vintage fuzzy logic and you're there!
I wouldn't say it was a failure per se.

Old content is still there, but new content is of noticeably lower quality. Many subreddits have moved to minimal moderation or stopped it altogether. Engagement in places I used to frequent like /r/Games (which didn't even participate in the strike) is both down considerably and of lower quality.

Reddit, like Twitter, is too big to fail overnight, but they are essentially zombies at this point. Their growth potential has been neutered and their most valuable users (the 1% making 60% of the quality content) are actively toying with alternatives.
What do you mean by "versus" here? The short-circuit operators behave like this pseudocode:

expr1 || expr2

if expr1 == false
expr2
else
true

In languages with macros, they may even be _implemented_ like that.
concise summary. thank you! i guess simple is best.
This does not surprise me. I want to get out of the US, but there is no place to go. Everywhere has a government that will be breathing down your neck to varying degrees. Canada probably appeals to a lot of other US citizens that want out; they think the grass is greener. These days, the metaphorical grass has all been replaced by artificial turf, so I expect there will be a lot of disappointment when that reality sinks in.
Here's an interesting defense of racial preferences a mutual acquaintance wrote on HN some years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4758529
"The project involved drilling a first-of-a-kind EGS horizontal doublet well system, consisting of an injection and production well pair within a high-temperature, hard rock geothermal formation... During production testing, the system achieved flow rates of up to 63 L/s, production temperatures of up to 336 ◦F and a peak power production of 3.5 MW electric power equivalent."

The team believes they can increase "the power capacity up to 8 MW of electric power per production well" and unlock economies of scale "because multiple wells can be drilled from a single pad location," which gains from "minimizing in-field rig moves, reducing drilling risk by drilling closely spaced vertical well sections, co-locating surface facilities infrastructure, and minimizing pipeline costs."

Notably, "the rate and pressure responses between Injection Well 34A-22 and Production Well 34-22 were strongly correlated, with changes in one well causing a rapid response in the offset well typically on the order of minutes to tens of minutes." That means dispatchable generation.

I've read this and that's probably what sparked my curiosity!
If I was running a company of any meaningful size, I would hesitate to allow any 3rd party to become the OS of my company.

The OS of my company should be at the very core of my company - highly customized to give me an edge rather than to level the playing field with my competitors.

And that means becoming very good at creating and maintaining the internal IT vision and expertise to make that possible.

And that in turn means that I better have amazing IT capability in my leadership.

The corollary of that is: Without amazing IT leadership, my company is living on borrowed time, eventually to be crushed by dependencies on one or more 3rd parties like Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and their ilk.

So the only way I’d accept strategic 3rd party software into my company, would be, if I have the ability to fully fork it and take it in-house at any time of my choosing, with at most a very manageable and finite remaining financial obligation after the fork.

If Twenty.com has a business model, that can accommodate that, it might be onto something special.
As somebody who was paid for many years to turn AI researchers' code into usable products, I have one piece of advice. If you want to become an AI researcher, don't fix their code. I did this in the hope that I eventually would get to work directly in an AI project. When I finally got to participate in such a project part-time, it turned out that I could finish in a matter of days a task that would take the AI researchers weeks. That didn't please them at all so soon enough I was switched full-time to my non AI project since that one "needed me more".
If you want to become an AI researcher, do AI researcher projects, simple as that.

As far as I understand, Markdown only defines an HTML output.
How it should look like is another story.

While I agree with you about GitHub's dividers being too low, I think it's GitHub's problem. Not related to Markdown.
Weird letter shapes. Mildly so: v, y, k. Disturbingly so: w. I don't know what it is about it, but it seems to be hanging from the x-height rather than sitting on the baseline--sort of like Sanskrit writing or boobs.
I really like the metadata-driven approach of Iceburg, great work.

I don't have a strong opinion on licensing. We were setup as MIT until last week and ahead of this launch I thought that if for whatever reason we were moving to a more restrictive licence post-launch it could feel like we've been lying to the community. So we decided to adopt a more conservative approach to avoid making promises we couldn't hold later on. If people come to us with projects where this license is a blocker, we'd me happy to discuss and grant exceptions.
> d) generate a new private key on foo and use that to access github.

Not every org's policy allows adding unaudited ad-hoc SSH keys.

Definitely not always, if the hosts you store these keys on are not as hardened as you local machine (or a hardware key connected to it).
My guess is I’ll probably update it while things change quickly, and then once stuff settles down leave it as is

> Nuclear energy is a controversial topic in most places, but Germany is notable for its historic antipathy toward the technology. “Anti-nuclear sentiment in Germany is widespread and longstanding, and it’s highly correlated with concern for climate change,” says Pushker Kharecha, deputy director of the Climate Science, Awareness, and Solutions Program at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.

I'm sure you get these results from opinion polls, but what does concern for climate change mean if one is anti-nuclear, if one is against the second-biggest climate neutral source of energy[1]?

> Mentioning the legacy of WWII, Wiliarty adds that the possibility, however remote, of causing another tragedy on the European continent is enough to make nuclear energy a nonstarter for many Germans. (This may help explain why Germany continues to buy, situationally, nuclear-generated electricity from France even as it moves away from “homegrown” nuclear.)

Germany pressures neighbouring countries like France and Belgium to stop nuclear, thankfully without success so far. The reason germany buys nuclear-generated electricity from France is a shared electricity grid, with no way to turn off specific sources of power.

Just asking ChatGPT to proofread a text is enough.

Honestly, keeping the best ML repos hard to run unironically gives strong job security. I’m happy when something requires a bit of work to get running, means I get to stay employed longer and the normies who will ruin it (I.e. the idiots writing shit like “wormGPT”) will be delayed.

We are also in a rapidly ending golden age of the AI research community treating copyright like it doesn’t exist (which is good and Aaron Swartz was and is a saint) Every PR that makes it easier to run their code makes us that much closer to going back to the hell of strong IP regulations and laws.

Please don’t make their stuff easier to run.
Wow, my mind is kind of blown. How did I not notice that before?
Your last paragraph is a good one. But these products do cease to be relevant every so often. It's a good idea to work on something else once you get this to the point that it's paying your bills, in my opinion only of course.
Yes, this is described in the abstract.
> Because Journalists are trained to be good communicators and summarize ideas...

Good to remember next time someone whinges about bad science journalism.

Blame the editors, publishers, and owners. The constraints on journalists are ridiculous. While op-eds and columnists are granted soapboxes to blather on.
No, the best solution would be partial key forwarding of one or several separate keys only scoped to git access.

awk is an inspiration, and a great simple tool. Not trying to compete, but add more tools in the space.

Probably dt will never be able to do things that awk can't do... At least for the non-trivial things. But I think it will be able to do some things with a more readable/declarative syntax.

I'll fill this out later, but imagine dt as trying to be a shell-friendly Functional Programming riff on awk, with first-class functions and no need to regex match or BEGIN etc. At the end of the day, assuming it catches on, I suspect choosing dt will probably be more often about taste
pandoc and ronn can also output roff man pages. Markdown is great for accessible, generic use without a need for special features. For special features or formatting, abstraction can be a hindrance. statamic, jekyll and such use YAML frontmatter for embedding metadata but it's not a full replacement for HTML or lossless HTML formats like slim, haml, pug, ace, macdom.

I always need a cheatsheet when using roff or latex because they're too much to remember if you're not using it everyday.
That's fine and all, but self directed education is a skill in itself in that you need to be able to figure out how to teach oneself and troubleshoot when you're stuck in addition to cultivating a mindset and habits. This is a thing not taught broadly to people, or otherwise well known. It is an entire topic in itself that people write entire books about it.

For sure, there are ton of folks who self taught themselves programming and other skills, which seems to occur mostly be an accident.

There's also the time component. You can learn a lot really fast if you can spend a year without needing to be paid, which is really not possible to achieve unless you're already wealthy.
