Gosh, my favorite has to be hiryūzu. The Chinese characters mean flying dragon head. But, the word in Portuguese is filhos which means sons or a type of sweet pastry. That's an amazing journey.
Sideberry has an auto snapshot feature which restores previous states. I've successfully used it twice in three years.
Being a "petronation" implies the economy is centered around petroleum. The US economy is not. Our largest companies are currently tech companies, no longer oil companies. The temptation is to center your economy around a single resource, holding back other areas of your economy. "Resource curse" is the term I've read for it applied to things like oil and good soil in the early years of US history.
My father-in-law is a woodworker who makes chairs that cost five digits, and canoes that run into six digits. He is the epitome of a good craftsman.

He does not make his own tools. He buys them, because there are already extremely talented tool-makers who are very good at their craft.
Skilled hardware technicians for such tools (some from ASML) have a sciences/maths background (no, javascript/c++ coder without such background does not cut it and where did you see "highly skilled" here??).

They need a lot of "training", so, if there is no long term outcome... that's going to be tough.

Graying SWE here. ChatGPT is quite helpful, and so is Copilot. I mostly use ChatGPT for well defined functions that I need to implement that don’t rely on too much external context. I love it for writing unittests. It frequently makes mistakes, but it’s easier than starting from zero.
btw , they mention a couple of exceptions to this policy, YMMV

Because there is no “instead”? A promise (or really a task if you’re in an async context, what you link to is really a thread + a pseudo-oneshot channel) allows independently scheduling a unit of work, it’s neither shared nor mutable state.

The promise object you link to is not Clone, so there is no way for two different threads to refer to the same one without adding an intermediate `Arc`, and because all the methods on it operate by value that’s not exactly helpful either as you can’t move the promise out of the Arc.

Same with a tokio::task::Task. A JoinHandle can’t be duplicated (though according to its doc on some platforms it might be duplicatable — if the thread returned a duplicatable value anyway).
I am not a fan of self help stuff, but I think that’s a somewhat uncharitable reading of the article; I don’t think he was implying that it was “good” to break someone’s spine.

I think it was saying that it’s very easy to convince yourself of something much worse than reality. He felt guilty because he thought he ruined a woman’s life forever, he felt immense guilt over that, when in reality the woman mostly recovered, not that it was good the accident happened.

I thought The idea is that a slight misunderstanding of the can have a severe “compound interest rate”.

Google does force me to use Android to use certain tools of theirs (eg manage their Google wifi pucks), as opposed to just using a local admin page like every other system.

They all support adding an iCal feed I can see. I want one that other people in the organisation can see the free/busy state from that gets merged with that from my work calendar.
>This is a terrible idea. People will have friends who get their papers in, in return for the favor of the same.

But this is already the case. In some fields even double blind doesn't work because community members are aware of each others research. If you're one of two people worldwide who's specific specialization is the compression of semantic knowledge streams, you're probably willing to be money on your ability to spot your colleagues research.
What is the bar for a "legally binding digital signature"? Is this a very complicated topic - or is it quite simple?

I can sign a PDF with OSX Preview for free. I can pay a bunch of money to sign with Docusign. Both produce a PDF with a digital image of my signature. I assume both documents constitute a legally binding agreement, so long as I actually preformed the digital signature. What justification do the e-signature SaaS companies have for their exorbitant prices? I understand the "audit trail" angle - that's just collecting my IP every time I interact with the document.

Is this a big SaaS scam?
I was not asking about feasibility or externalities. I do not consider it a good idea. I was just asking about military usefulness. And as I said, after reflecting, I suspect even from that POV it would be detrimental.
> Michelangelo likely used male models and created masculine depictions intentionally.

Hold up, they're saying that "Michelangelo, perhaps the greatest artist the world has produced" (as he's described in the blurb for a linked article) was drawing his figures like this intentionally? :P
Everyone else managed, as mentioned in the article. It was a deliberate choice.
I just got back from Rome and took multiple tours with very informative guides. The one guide said they were designed to look like the Gods. I don't think many people had this physique. We have all muscles, it wouldn't of been that hard for a sculptor to look at their own muscles and simply make them bigger as such I don't think it's any indication that ancient Romans were jacked per se.
> won't DocuSign accuse you of "misleading" their customers by using a name that is "too similar"

Docuseal would be the winner with all the free press, and changing a name costs almost nothing.

PNG Specification (Third Edition) W3C Working Draft 20 July 2023
Last week I signed up for an annual subscription to MDN. I didn’t realize it at the time, but paying subscribers get the option to enable offline mode (it currently downloads about 630 MiB of content). I generally have fast connections wherever I’m working, but the difference between “fast” and “instant” when loading new pages is really making the experience feel special for me. I would heartily suggest you support MDN and try it out!
It's all adjustable, but the default profiles tend to ham it up a bit in my experience. For something I found usable, but nice to look at; all my settings were < 10%, and a few disabled (burnin, glow line, ambient light).
There are many options, and I'd be uncomfortable to suggest any in specific without knowing the project's details (I'll list a few below). The reason why switching JSON to Protobuff make me raise an eyebrow is because it represents a switch from one extreme to another. A mainstream, flexible, text-based protocol, to a specialized, rigid, binary protocol. When people do sudden moves like these, it's often misguided. I can almost hear the evangelists bashing how everything LinkedIn did with JSON is wrong, or something.

In terms of formats, you'd get an easier transition and more balance between flexibility and efficiency out of BSON, Avro, Thrift, MessagePack. There are also alternatives to Protobuff like FlatBuffers and Cap'n Proto. There's also CBOR, which is interesting.

There are also other ways of looking at the problem. How does Erlang serialize messages? It doesn't because it messages itself, so the message format is native to itself. And in fact I mostly lean in that direction, but it's not for everyone. Erlang is also dynamically typed, not the kind of language Protobuff and Cap'n Proto is aimed at I suppose.
Does anyone have a link to a simple beginner explainer tutorial to practically setting up keys and SSH (mostly for git and server remote access), but without going too deep or hardcore?

Please don’t write command line tools in javascript. I’d never install npm, yarn… on my system just to try a tool out. CLI tools are perfect for compiled languages so you can distribute a binary.
This is very nice, and I can see myself using this in the future. However, I have one slight piece of feedback; is there any chance you can make the delay on the menus flying out and tooltips just appearing all over the place when I move my cursor just a little bit longer? I felt like I was getting bombarded with information by just wanting to move my cursor to the other pane.

Besides that, I like it. Thanks for the links.
I sincerly hope that they remove this feature and apologise for its integration in the first place.

I don't think a reference website should include any sort of feature that can hallucinate incorrect documentation for you on demand.

It's bad enough that they have to include a disclaimer[1] on their upsell page, which states that the "AI Help" may occassionally return incorrect results.

Pfetch-rs: A rewrite of pfetch in Rust
Since the original pfetch is not maintained anymore, I decided to rewrite it in Rust. It has a lot more logos than the original and an extremely fast execution time.
Outside of this thread, which seems to have brought "downvotes are for disagreement!" crusaders out of the woodwork, I essentially never see grayed out comments that are in good faith but just wrong. That may be because there are roughly the same number of people who agree with the wrong take as disagree, but I doubt it. I also get five to twenty upvotes on a comment every once in awhile, but I don't think I've ever seen more than about two downvotes on a comment, including on ones that get strong disagreement in replies. People don't just agree with me a lot more than they disagree with me, it's that most people aren't using the votes in this symmetrical agreement/disagreement way. Which I think is a good thing, even if it's not what the site's powers that be intended.
The linked study literally says “our primary finding…is that there is no statistical evidence of a casual relationship.” It also controls for wealth: “after inclusion of appropriate controls, including wealth…”

Maybe we’re referencing different studies. Which are you specifically referencing?
History is true, but the history anyone knows is selective, a mental model, often guessed or interpreted, and usually secondhand information.
To some extent what you’re disagreeing about is linguistics. Is history the actual events that took place or our knowledge of events that took place. And to be honest, there’s also a question of whether there’sa difference because what we don’t know about the past might as will not have happened.
Not to complain about zero-point-module based airships, of course, but you could do as the '90s isometric RPGs did with houses, and just not render the airships' lifting bodies.
Anyone can learn anything if they put their mind to it. Sure. But the question is: does it scale?
I post a wide variety of comments. I noticed a wave of general news and Reddit style topics. I made 3 comments questioning that. I am participating in my community by pushing back against a change in content and tone. Many others have agreed with me and were also voted down. There are so many places for this kind of topical discussion, but very few have qualitative online technology discussion. I hope HN continues to be a place for exploring tools and ideas related to tech. This current trend is degrading the quality of posts and comments.
I suspect instead a wage shortage, not a lack of people to hire.
> Cheap software define radios will only work in uninteresting frequencies like AM / FM

There’s quite a bit interesting stuff to listen to on cheap hardware.

With a $20 dongle:

- Local police/fire

- Marine bands

- Watch airplanes transmitting ADSB

- Follow trunked radios in the area (more police depts are doing this)

- Receive NOAA weather images

- Pagers operate here, but legally this gets dicy

Beyond this, addons like the Ham it Up upconverter can bring you Ham bands for a little more money and a lot more entertainment.

And there’s a lot of other misc stuff to explore.

Working with 4G systems is a whole other ball of wax anyway, and also gets into legally challenging territory.

If the goal is to learn more about radio and find some interesting stuff going on in your area, a cheap dongle provides a lot of value and fun.

I definitely can’t agree that this requires expensive equipment.
It's not though... it has been dead for over a decade. It was about price for silicon density. Prices have gone up significantly for the newer nodes without the density increase necessary to offset.
It’s important to distinguish between the farmers pushed out of agriculture and those pulled towards the industrial/service sector.

Some of the farmers pushed out of agriculture were in a truly terrible position. Some effectively exiled into other countries (e.g highland clearances in Scotland) or left with no choice beyond military service in poor conditions.

Other ex-farmers were pulled into the high wage new economy sectors. I imagine this was a comparatively happier experience, although not without its difficulties. For example, the shipbuilding or railway workers. In a more modern example, the Chinese factory worker.
Well now I understand the TikTok ban ::proposal that’s been floating around for years::… Right now both political parties in the USA exert extensive influence over respective media outlets, and TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government. I’ll wager a guess this has a lot to do with it.
I guess you missed the part about reducing carbon output then. And a carbon tax can of course be made revenue neutral with a dividend, if your government is socially inclined.
Google is reportedly testing an AI tool that can generate news articles
My takeaway from that article are these important criticisms:

- Correlation is not causation: A medical error, followed by a death does not implies medical error caused death

- The study that claim is based (BMJ analysis), suggest that 62% of US hospital deaths are caused by medical errors. Which seems hard to believe, especially having similar studies instead suggesting a 3.6% in UK, 4.6% in Norway, and 5% in a meta study

- Experts do not agree which facts are medical errors

Most (All?) other claims were about high uncertainty. Small Ns and possible biases in the samples, many obvious and others even irrelevant criticisms

---

There's still a lot of uncertainty, even in the criticisms.

I think they could have easily made estimations with the UK, Norway and meta study hospital data to have a minimum estimate of medical errors to counter BMJ analysis with a more reasonable number.

We really should calculate more and talk less (I am already sinning with this comment --_(=/)_--)
they will just replace existing ones with worse ones. that's how it's always been
Rest in peace :(
I remember trying this on macOS a while ago and I'm sure it had some odd quirks where things didn't work as expected which put me off using it, I'll have to try it again. There used to be a native macOS app called Cathode which was similar but it's been abandoned

That one was fun. I loved the fusion ramjet exit strategy, and the big reveal at the end.

There was also the one (was it Clarke or Asimov?) where they simply grew genetically engineered Jovian bodies and transferred their minds to them. That one (as you'd expect) ends with the explorers deciding it was way too much fun running around Jupiter as raptor-thingies.
Pretty cool!
The reflections on the sides are a very nice touch.

I can’t believe you canceled copilot, at $10 a month it pays for itself every single day for me. I’m just baffled how it can be so useful for me and not useful for you.
If it's available in Java, then it surely is usable from Kotlin and Scala.

The others I have no idea about though.
Smart and skills do not rule out malice.
> not meaningfully improved by adding cores.

This is true and I hate it, because it doesn't have to be this way. Almost all existing workloads are theoretically parallelizable to at least some significant degree, developers just don't do it because it's so difficult. (I'm talking about large scale systems, not individual algorithms)

I think more research needs to go into designing new programming languages and paradigms to make multithreading easy and automatic. There's been some improvement here in the last few years, e.g. coroutines, move semantics, but there's still a long way to go. It's silly that people are buying 32-core CPUs that basically only get used for video rendering.
Mankind was never meant to consume information like this, IMHO. Every swipe is a new exercise in critical thinking. And if you aren't exercising your critical thinking you're being propagandized at. Everybody with even a slight nefarious interest is taking advantage of that.
The worst historical accounts, if lookrd at without context, are first hand ones... Those are the most selective and subjective takes you can have.
> Overall though I think the majour benefit of ChatGPT is it just teaches people to clearly define problems as natural language questions. Developing this ability helps the subconscious mind solve problems when the user is away from screens.

Yeah we've had them for a while, it was called the rubber duck, ;)
Oh. In that case the hub assemblies are probably VW, but the spindle itself would probably be Porsche (since I don't recall VW ever using 6 bolt CV joints.)

But the overall point that the 914 was a mix of VW and Porsche bits is absolutely correct and in fact some pretty significant parts such as the engine were VW. I suppose that goes back to the first Porsche which was derived from a VW.

Sidebery has tab groups, which you can then fold. Also has panels, which are basically full-size permanent tab groups (that can be linked to containers).

> Less RAM

It also lets one enable tab unloading for folded tabs. And you can middle-click on a panel to unload all the tabs in it.
Time to bring the marshmallows and make music :)

Ah Outer Wilds is such a beautiful game, I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it.
There is a very long list if you search linked in.

Personally, would you:

* do shift work

* complete a special local college course at your own expense

* to work for a company with notoriously demanding standards for staff

and there are no salaries listed as far as I see...
Enhanced Motif Window Manager
Target has the opportunity to correct an individual whose punishment will be a misdemeanor but instead chooses to -escalate- the individual's behavior in order to punish them with a felony.

Imagine that the misdemeanor — a fine and a few months in prison — would sufficiently deter an individual from ever stealing again, or at least from Target. Target's theft problem is resolved, and the individual goes on with a more abiding life.

In the actual case, Target allows this person to believe the theft is easy and rewarding. When Target preps the legal case, this person serves years in prison.

Target has lost additional inventory meanwhile, Target has paid for the case-building, the individual serves a long sentence, and the individual loses future job candidacy.

Society also pays for the prison time and must support an individual with a difficult-to-employ problem. Everybody is worse off.

I didn't read OP's paragraph and think that they intended to make Target sound bad, but I was able to make the case myself, I think.
Nobody really cared in the scene about the DMCA until the FBI started taking people offline. Even then? It stopped nobody, people just got more security aware.
Ask HN: Applying Open Source ML and LLM in side projects – where to start?
Hi all,

The open-source ML and LLM community is experiencing rapid development, and I've been closely following its progress for the past few months. As a frontend developer with over a decade of experience and some backend dabbling, I'm eager to gain practical experience in working with these powerful tools on small side projects to unleash their potential.

My tinkering nature has led me to set up VPS instances, build data scraping tools, and even create complex iOS apps with CoreData in Swift, apart from my professional frontend work (building big FE applications). I'm not afraid to learn new languages like Python or learn to use libraries like Pandas. However, in the realm of ML and LLM, I feel a bit overwhelmed, unsure where to start or if the skills I possess can be effectively applied.

What I'm aiming for is hands-on implementation of this technology in real-world scenarios. For instance, I meticulously categorize my expenses each month and would like to create a model that automatically classifies transactions based on historical data. Can open-source tools help me achieve this, and if so, what should I learn to make it happen?

Another project I'm working on involves a straightforward analytics tool. I envision using NLP in its search interface to guide users seamlessly toward their goals. Imagine users asking questions like "What's my conversion rate for X in June?" and being navigated to a preconfigured page with the right filters. Or posing a query like "How is retention defined for Y?" and receiving a snippet of relevant documentation with a link for further reading.

I'm genuinely curious and eager to hear from all of you on the best path forward. What ML libraries or NLP frameworks would suit my projects? How can I effectively leverage these open-source tools for practical applications? Your insights and advice would be invaluable in helping me take the first steps.

Thank you in advance!

Dan
> In fact, this criticism extends to all search engines, including the one I use, DuckDuckGo. But since Google is still the dominant one, this article is focused on them.

Oh ok so clickbait title.

The whole premise of the article is quite silly. No thanks, I don't want a human connection and asking someone for help when looking up information.

There is plenty to be criticized about Google and modern web but this ain't it.

Sounds like a description of narcissistic personality disorder or schizoaffective. Of course proto ai would have a personality disorder, go figure.

In the future, the job of an ai psychologist will be to certify the personality of ai products. Gotta make sure you’re not shipping a shrink wrapped psychopath.
Personally, I really liked the Nand2Tetris course which was project based and felt I learned a lot more from that than from reading about the topic.
