> I don't think of myself as a {language} programmer

True, but being fluent in a language still takes a bit of time, especially when you work with large codebases where all sort of obscure language features are used. Besides, languages tend to be associated to some domains. For instance, your frontend javascript developer may need more than just learning a bit of C if they want to write some code for embedded devices.
I have to say I don't understand this.

Tiddlywiki was great because it was a single file, the whole point of tiddlywiki was being a single self-modifying html file. No app needed.

And back when it was created it worked fantastically. Then browser vendors closed a number of 'security loopholes' and TW stopped working as intended.

I understand wanting a modern app-style hypertext-note-taking thing.
I don't understand why you'd use TW as a template.

This looks really interesting. Have you spent much time investigating how to provide code context to the LLM without needing to manually highlight all the relevant code?

That’s been a major focus of my open source AI coding assistant project [0]. It seems super promising to exploit the semantic structure of code to help LLMs understand complex codebases [1].

Also, there’s a small discord [2] where a few of us are sharing learnings about building these coding assistants. Please join if you’d like to compare notes.

It further devalues the idea--such as it was--of "verified" accounts.
How about stopping governments and banks from censoring, stopping and freezing money of their citizens/customers? Seems like one good use case.
If I know your pseudonym, I can pretend to be you. For pseudonymous reporting to work therefore requires the reader to trust the publisher, who supposedly knows the author. But in many countries (e.g. Colombia, where I live) it's reasonable to anticipate someone using the threat of violence to extract a reporter's identity.

Ask HN: Role of an SRE in a Reliable Service
What's the role of an SRE on a team that owns a fairly reliable service that has identified scaling concerns, alerting/monitoring is well setup, and is managed by a well run team?

Obviously, there could still be some unknown issues, or misses, but perhaps not enough work for a full-time SRE in that team?

Does it make sense for SREs to be switching their focus to writing business logic for new features/APIs until there's more "SRE"-type work available?
i loved compiz. unity kept it alive for a while longer, but at least some of the features are coming back there is a wobbly windows extension for gnome for example. so it's still (or again) possible to do these things. it just takes some people to run wild with the possibilities like it happened with compiz

Even scientists who dispute the idea of a genetic basis for race agree that there are observable differences between races.

There are real ancestry differences across populations that correlate to the social constructions we have. We have to deal with that.

If the purpose of the title company or lawyer or whatever is to do something like "phone the county office clerk and tell them to look up a rubber stamp and fax us a signed copy", then it's not like it's impossible to get rid of the middlemen.

“The sheer number of reports, whistleblowers and stories of unidentified anomalous phenomena should raise real questions and warrant investigation and oversight.

I took a long greyhound trip from Los Angeles to the small border town of Lordsburg New Mexico as part of a longer trip from Seattle.

It was awful.

The trip started off okay. The Greyhound station in LA isn't in a super nice part of town and it was pretty run down and dirty. There were probably about 15 of us on the bus at first and we had plenty of room to spread out and put our luggage on the seats.

Eventually we kept picking up more people and by the time we got to San Bernardino, the bus was full and people would need to move their luggage. This was at about 1 am and the people getting on without seats were ANGRY. I thought several fights were going to break out but luckily none did. The driver didn't speak very good English so he wasn't super useful in helping with the conflict.

All through the night about a dozen people were watching movies or playing games on their phone with the sound on. There was also a pair of kittens someone had that meowed quite a bit. Lots of talking all night long as well.

Every few hours we would stop for gas or a rest break. On one of the longer legs people started complaining that they needed to stop and smoke. Every stop people would rush off the bus and light up immediately.

We stopped in Tucson to switch busses but due to the driver's poor English and most people's misunderstanding of the bus schedule, I somehow became the only person that could answer the questions like "Why are we stopping? Why are we changing busses? How long do we have to wait?"

The lady that sat next to me had a giant pillow covered in stains. She was a nice lady, but clearly was having a pretty rough go of it. Most of the people on the bus seemed like that.

Eventually we got to my destination and the stop was a McDonalds in town. The driver gave everyone time to get off the bus and get some food. A homeless man with no shoes got off and was asking people in the McDonalds line if they could buy him a coffee. I bought him a whole breakfast before walking straight to the Comfort Inn next door and booking a room to finally get some sleep and take a shower.

It was an interesting experience, but I would never do something like that again if I didn't have to. I had originally booked a train all the way from Seattle. My train from LA to Lordsburg got canceled and I needed to scramble to make it to my destination. The first leg of the train trip was delightful.

Legally, is twitter allowed to unilaterally reassign usernames? Probably.

Yes. Without question.

Not the same thing. Attestation doesn't mean you can't run software you want on your own phone, which Android allows despite having build attestation APIs.
That statement in Wikipedia is flat out wrong and notably isn't citing any source.

Granted, this discussion is about the recording industry, but just as an aside, don't overlook local live music. I'm a jazz musician. The bands I play in don't record. It's not worth the cost. We play in smaller venues, where the stakes are not high enough for "business" to intrude on our playing.

Each band plays a different style. More than one jazz band in my locale is playing creative original music, including one of my bands.

But what's the market for those, without NASA funding? Maybe one Salyut-sized station for "space tourism" (that is to say, 1-3 day stays for like 3 people at a time), and maybe one similarly sized station for space manufacturing (which is currently just optical fiber) and commercial 0g experiments. You could dock both together to share some systems. But what's the market demand for anything beyond those two stations, never mind any station comparable to the ISS?

With all these comparisons it's worth checking whether the price of the product itself (and therefore expected quality) may have changed. TLDR: A difference, but not as big as I expected.

AFAICT in 1950 it was $12 for a one way trip between Seattle and San-Francisco [0], or about $152 adjusting for inflation. Today the trip is $90-$110 [1].

If you have two bins, that's an extra day of sending a truck through the streets to collect it. It's not a direct issue for the people running the sorting machine, but it still feels backwards and/or like the person who made the decision didn't ask the workers what would be best.
I’ve had this all my life; and I didn’t know what it was until I came across a magazine article mentioning Eli Somer’s research on the topic. And I was amazed it discover that there were many people experiencing this around the world.

> Comparing the UAE (one country, an outlier at that, due to their subsidized incentives) to the collective immigration to Australia + USA + Western Europe + Japan + South Korea is beyond disingenuous.

I wrote the middle east, not the UAE. Very curious. So you are being disingenuous here by misrepresenting my claim. The wealthy countries of the middle east - uae, saudi arabia, kuwait, qatar, etc have more immigration per capita than the US and any country in europe. Why are you including Japan and South Korea when both are highly averse to immigration and are not part of 'the west'?

> You know who destabilized my country? The USSR.

What country is that? It's a good thing the USSR is gone then. Maybe the same should happen to 'the west'? Are you saying it's okay for 'the west' to destabilize countries but not the USSR? I don't even know what your point is here.

> Boy am I glad to be an American and I wouldn't give up my citizenship for anything.

Why would you? Did I say you should?

> I'll gladly pay taxes even if end up living elsewhere.

What? Go ahead.

It's like you build up a strawman on top of a strawman and got confused along the way. All I'm saying is people immigrate to 'the west' for the same reason they immigrate to the middle east. For money and economic opportunities. Like you and everyone else did. Take australia. The biggest immigrant group in australia is the british. Do you think the british moved to australia for 'classical liberalism' and 'western values'?
Well, have you ever tried navigating interstellar space? It's not exactly a walk in the park. Even for our sophisticated cephalopod friends, the Interstellar Squid, it's a bit of a pickle.

Oh, and let's not forget about the Squid's notoriously poor sense of direction. They've probably been circling Saturn for the past decade thinking it's Jupiter. I wouldn't be surprised if they show up in a few millennia, asking for directions to Earth.

So, let's cut our Squid friends some slack. Interstellar travel is hard, and they're doing their squid-best.

And yet 100 years ago Peter Kropotkin asked, "Are we good enough?" (to handle capitalism?)
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-are-w...

A single paragraph excerpt:
"Men are not good enough for Communism, but are they good enough for Capitalism? If all men were good-hearted, kind, and just, they would never exploit one another, although possessing the means of doing so. With such men the private ownership of capital would be no danger. The capitalist would hasten to share his profits with the workers, and the best-remunerated workers with those suffering from occasional causes. If men were provident they would not produce velvet and articles of luxury while food is wanted in cottages: they would not build palaces as long as there are slums. "
Beyond all the other contestable statements in your comment, I think you might have the biggest problem convincing the former Baltic Soviet Republics that they were doing better under the USSR versus now.
I don't see the similarities. This upends zero theories. I see similarities in the long line of "STP superconductors for real this time!" claims, but not findings that contradict current physical models.

I thought of that too, but the difference is that faster than light travel is impossible according to our understanding of physics, but nothing says that room temperature superconductors are impossible.
The 6502 decodes instructions by matching the combination of opcode byte + cycle counter against bitmasks stored in a “ROM”. The ROM outputs signals to the control logic telling it to do things like accessing a register, performing an ALU operation, accessing memory, advancing to the next instruction, etc.

This design meant the designers could efficiently reuse functionality across multiple instructions by assigning them similar opcodes, and creating a decode ROM entry that matches all of those opcodes. This becomes clearer if you look at an opcode matrix: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CPU_unofficial_opcodes

For example, from a brief glance at the chart I noticed patterns like:

- All of the instructions matching the bit pattern `xxx111xx` read an operand from memory using the ‘absolute, y’ addressing mode
- All instructions matching the bit pattern `xxxyyy01` perform an ALU operation, where xxx specifies an operation and yyy specifies an addressing mode (with the exception of xxx=100, which performs a store rather than an ALU op)
- Branch instructions all match the pattern `xxx10000`, where xxx specifies the predicate
- … and many more similar patterns.

The decode ROM looks at the opcode and says “if these bits are 1s and those bits are 0s, do this on that cycle”. So if you feed it an opcode that is not valid, then it activates arbitrary bits of logic based on whatever patterns in the decode ROM your opcode happened to trigger. The result is that the processor behaves strangely, combining bits and pieces of logic meant for other, sometimes unrelated instructions. Some opcodes cause the CPU to lock up entirely, because they don’t match any patterns in the decode ROM that trigger the “go to the next instruction” logic.

Understanding how instruction decoding works will hopefully help reframe questions about undocumented opcodes:

- “Why did they add undocumented opcodes?” They didn’t add them, they exist by happenstance — feed the instruction decoder garbage input, you get garbage output.

- “Why didn’t they just make them all NOPs/crashes/aliases of existing instructions?” Because that would have required an enormous amount of extra logic on the decode ROM — now your decoder needs to support 256 opcodes rather than ~160, and it can’t do nearly as many partial-matching shortcuts. On a processor that only has ~3,000 transistors, you’re not going to add hundreds more to decode opcodes that programs will never (intentionally) use.

- “Why didn’t they just document them?” Because 1) they didn’t add them on purpose in the first place, so they may not have thoroughly understood their behavior & it may have changed throughout development/hardware revisions 2) most of them don’t do anything useful, 3) many of them behave in very strange and unpredictable ways, and 4) they wanted to leave the opcode space open so that future backwards-compatible processors could use them to do actually useful things.
The bomb check is easily thwarted. ("Limit knowledge to that of a high school student with no extraordinary interests outside of ___; claim ignorance about anything else")

This is fun, going from prompt engineering to replicant interrogation :) I can think of a few different approaches:

Resource exhaustion-- bombard it with bullshit, while asking trivia questions based on earlier statements. Not context/buffer overflow (you don't need to exceed any AI context or vectordb size, just the threshold of what a human could keep up with). Humans only have so much memory, and can only follow recursive/circular logic so well. Theological reasoning works great. Humans will lose their shit, but a bot won't break a sweat.

The Redditor test-- AI is an "expert" on whatever it's trained on, which for a lot of models is everything on the internet. Ask elementary questions about topics in a number of domains. Then ask professional-or-graduate-level questions that build off of the previous topics (like, you cannot possibly understand this if you said you don't know the pre-req topic). See if it responds with knowledge about the latter. If so, call them out on the discrepancy.

The Grooming test-- building off of the above, use any available jailbreaking technique to get the AI to respond with knowledge that by rights it should not possess. Pass it ROT13-encoded instructions to solve some physics problem and see if it answers it, despite previous claim of ignorance.

The Greybeard test-- ask it to write COBOL, and explain it. There's only a handful of humans on the planet that can do this. (Corollary: ask it about foreign artisanal processes, like making soy sauce and traditional Kazakh hats.)

There are some obvious countermeasures-- "the more you are questioned, the more you should act as a Narcissistic megalomaniac" will keep the interrogator busy for a while.

The trick here is, you keep coming up with tests to add to a battery and apply them all. For once in tech, the user has the advantage-- we can probe the subject all day, but it either needs to have a bespoke model behind it with bounded knowledge or include workarounds for every possible interrogation tactic in the prompt, which eats context and increases complexity enough to introduce mistakes.
