I always heard people talking about how amazing Vim is, but I didn't get why.

"Like big deal, you can jump around the line, delete words or whole lines. I can do that with option and command. Oh you can apply your edits to multiple places? Have you heard of multi-cursor?"

Only when I was forced to use it (in South Korea) did I realize why people love it so much

So here's a video of a basic use case that requires tedious clicking on a normal editor like vs-code, but which is made super easy in vim

Please let me know if you found this useful so I can make more vim videos like this :)
Most unions cut across employers, do they not? That's why they break the natural competition over individual employees that the presence of other employers generates.
Did you fine-tune your own Llama 2? Llama2-chat is awfully gimped.
Or user-owned.
Everyone, please read the whole article, not just this comment. The second two quotes here appear very out of context in this comment - they are about anger and frustration towards Gino, not towards Data Colada.

The first quote here is not a defense of Gino, it's a nuanced opinion of self-proclaimed vigilantes who are also human and might not always make perfect decisions. It is followed by this:

> Discussing the allegations that Gino falsified data is seen almost unanimously as fair game, especially in light of Harvard putting her on leave. People expressed more mixed feelings toward disgraced researchers such as Cuddy, who failed to replicate her findings but did not fake her data.

I have no special insight here, but this at least seems like a reasonable thing to discuss.

> It feels, to me, that they're making Data Colada (the data vigilante group) the bad guys here.

I strongly disagree. The light questioning of Data Colada was a very small part of the article, and even that section did not give me the impression that they are "bad guys".
What is the author suggesting? That instead of "social" networks, people will rush to building their own online presence from first principles?

I can't see that working, for so many reasons:

- most people are passive consumers of content, maybe interact a little, enough to tweak their feeds

- a small minority creates content on the large networks / aggregators, and (I think) a large portion of that is spurred on by monetization

- the "internet" and all the devices that access it have become so "user friendly" that the people who have come online in the last decade or so are effectively technically illiterate; you cannot count on them building anything from scratch, only to arrange the big duplo pieces already provided

Really? This is what you have—he said he drove a truck when he only rode in it?
This is the kind of thing that you think that makes it hard to argue that Trump is worse?

i am building sites with aurelia without a build system. there used to be a quick-start tutorial where you could just download an archive with aurelia ready to run. no serverside tools or build tools necessary at all. it even used to work loading the whole app via file://... back when browsers still trusted that. it no longer works only because of browser restrictions on using file://

the tutorial is gone, but the download still exists referenced here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39681911

the downside is that i don't know how to update this to newer versions or add extensions.

it might also be possible to create a new version of this using aurelia-cli, but i haven't yet figured out how.
It's a propaganda document, so it's going to make a lot of questionable claims and put a lot of spin on things. However, to just address this statement of yours:

"It quotes Covid numbers for itself that are clearly made up."

This document was published in June 2022. At that time, China really did have essentially zero CoVID cases.

Recall that after the initial outbreak in Wuhan, China completely stamped out the virus (by about April 2020) and closed its borders to prevent the virus from re-entering. The only way to get back into China was to go through 2-3 weeks of quarantine, and I'm not talking about "go home and promise not to meet anyone." You got off the plane, were given an immediate PCR test in the airport terminal (in addition to the PCR test you had to take before boarding the plane), and then were put on a bus to go to your special quarantine hotel. You stayed in your room for the entire duration of the quarantine, with regular PCR testing and food/water deliveries to your door. But once you got out of quarantine, you were in a zero-CoVID bubble.

It was kind of surreal that there was this massive country that literally had zero CoVID for long stretches of time (punctuated by local outbreaks that were met with massive containment/testing/tracing/quarantine efforts), and a lot of people outside had a hard time believing it. However, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and a few other places did roughly the same thing. Somehow, people had an easier time accepting that Taiwan's zero-CoVID policy (which was very similar to the policy on the mainland) was successful.

This all changed rapidly at the very end of 2022, when the zero-CoVID policy was dropped, and most people in China were infected within a span of about two months. But in June 2022, when this document was published, there really was basically no CoVID in China.
USA had that until a former President was indicted to rabid cheering. Even Nixon was pardoned. Peaceful power transition may have ended.
For a Rust V. Mojo comparison. This didn't have a lot of Rust discussion or examples.

It just seemed to say "Since Rust isn't being used, it wont be used, because ML people wont bother learning it". Then launches into 90% of article about C++ and Mojo.

I'm not a Rust person. But looking for some comparisons.

I like the idea of using Python Syntax, because that keeps the ML community on-board because of familiarity.

But this didn't really get at why Rust is good or bad, except for that un-familiarity to the ML community.
Beware Gell-Mann amnesia when assessing how useful LLMs are for investing research. Don't forget the instinctual response you have to LLMs' supposed abilities to write software projects, when assessing LLMs' abilities to comprehend and extract the interesting/relevant parts of a 10-Q/K.

IME, the most useful software tools in investing are analogous to the most useful software tools in software-building: the IDEs, libraries and frameworks that make an increasingly-expert human more effective.

Unfortunately, there aren't any long-term-valuable shortcuts to attaining expertise in any domain, but there are an increasing number dead ends that really look like shortcuts.

The President does not have power of the purse. The House proposes a budget. The President can't spend beyond what Congress approves, and can't really decline to spend anything that Congress has approved (i.e. "impoundment").
Maybe they are doing some shady crypto stuff... (Maybe they participate in selling "numbers with certain properties" which are called Bitcoins, but are just numbers in reality...)
On the flipside, dating apps are killing their industry by being so ineffective. It's seems much more desirable for people to have a good experience.

Also many people are not looking to get married at 20. They likely have a decade of messing around before getting off the apps for good.
I have no doubt that any platform will be enshittified or disappear eventually, but eventually we all will be dead.

The question should be how to launch a dating app in 2023 that won't suck for at least a decade.
A feature like this would be extremely dangerous in "striped yellow" lanes (where you can pass into on-coming traffic). When you're passing like that, the speed limit goes out the window and your main goal is to get back into your lane before any on-coming cars come. Limiting speed would cause head on collisions because drivers wouldn't be able to pass.

> I'd love to have a GPL-licensed BSD operating system. Ideally new features would be prototyped in BSD-licensed BSDs and eventually make it into a stable GPL-licensed version. (I know it sounds crazy...)

Why? What does a GPL license let you do that you can't do with a BSD license?

If the base is BSD licensed, why would commercial users not use the base rather than the GPL one?

> And those wanting to consume data, really just want the bare essentials: The data.

I don't think they do. The average HN reader, probably; but not the average person.

What they want is a well styled and usable webpage. Unfortunately, there aren't enough effective and talented UX designers (or stakeholders at companies with decent UX intuition).

This leads to the current situation where the average person would be better served by bare essential data, even if it's not their preference, because it's still better than the kludgy UX average design a company is able to afford.

{bad UX} << {raw data} < {good UX}

The end run around this is what WordPress realized: create professional styles/themes and allow users to purchase and apply them. But that can't solve bad stakeholder taste.

Which brings me back to Facebook, which I would argue succeeded because it standardized and mandated a professional UX.

{data from people} + {professional, standardized UX} = {winning}

You can dislike the original Facebook UX, but I don't think anyone would claim it was amateur level work. Which is what everyone's perception of MySpace/Geocities et al. was.

I can't reply to Gud below, but their comment really shows they haven't worked with real users at all. A lot of people on hacker news assume everyone is in the demographic of hacker news for some odd reason.

It absolutely can take 2 hours to help someone with a task it would take you 2 minutes to do (with 1.5 of those minutes watching progress bars)

Some people are just dumb as rocks. Some, if you say to click a button labeled whatever, they will instead close the window. Some will just get up and walk away while you're talking to them. Some arn't dumb, but are just trying to stretch time to keep from having to go back to work. Some people won't tell you their laptop turned off because they're not plugged into power.
Not the crypto, but rather the getpass() function, which simply reads a password from standard input without echoing it.

Since the function uses a static buffer, there is a limit on the password length, which apparently on Solaris was set to the absurdly low value of 8 (glibc uses a more reasonable value: 8192).
Yes that's my issue, it always come back (like weekly). I was not aware I could add a registry entry. I'll try, thank you :=)
Uhh, did no one bother that the author claimed 39C for the Andes but like, the chart itself shows about 16C for the peaks? or am I reading the chart wrong?

I'm brazilian and I'm pretty sure that if this was actually true, we'd have heard this on the news and not on a random twitter profile.

EDIT: unless someone can point me to an actual reputable source, this is fake. I googled for "chilean andine record winter temperatures" and there's not a single source claiming it reached over 30C this year mid-winter.

EDIT2: and I can't find it either on weather forecast websites any absurdly high temperatures for these regions.
I genuinely believe there is no solution here which will make everyone happy.

Even you were to have a fully meritocratic system it would still be massively biased to towards rich students and against African-Americans.

Rich parents simply have more resources to ensure their kids get whatever educational resources they need to get the grades needed for admission to elite universities.

We still don't know why African-Americans underperform other ethnic groups academically, but this is a reality and while this reality exists any fully meritocratic system will work against them. Our unwillingness to ask why African-Americans underperform is a huge part of the problem here. And I'll note this isn't just a US thing, it's similar here in Europe.

There really is no solution here – at least not at the level of university admissions.

The problem is deeper... At least one of the issues is that the quality of ones education depends a lot on the neighbourhood they grow up in. And African-Americans generally grow up in less affluent neighbourhoods. Minimising that difference and ensuring kids from all backgrounds have decent shot at getting the grades they need for university in my opinion should be the primary focus.
Granted, but I'm thinking more about how long the beetle can survive without access to air.
Something I've heard a few times is that computer "logs" refer to ships log books, but log books themselves refer to the actual wooden logs that would be thrown out of the back of ships to help determine their speed.

If this room-temperature superconductivity result is real, I have high hopes on the improvements they can possibly bring to the field of electrical metrology. Many precision measurement instruments require superconductive Josephson junctions, such as reproducing the definition of the SI volt [0], or magnetic field measurements with SQUID. But these exotic devices only exist in top research labs due to extremely high maintenance cost, including cooling requirement.

Imagine a day when every medium-sized research lab has direct access to the quantum-accurate SI volt and nobody needs to send their voltmeters out for calibration anymore (although I don't know how hard would it take to make a microchip with 10,000+ Josephson junctions out of it...)

Yeah, I share that concern about outsourcing a core competency to a VC funded startup. The risk of abandonment means you need to be ready to fork & maintain all the Tiptap code if they go closed source or shut down.
I know we're all really dedicated to solving social problems with far fetched technology but this is a lot even for here, come on.

after listing a bunch of things from the previous century that barely stretches a bit further back. i would have been impressed if you had come up with a phrase from medieval tech, or roman/greek/egyptian. hell, i'd settle for pioneer days tech to allow for "centuries". otherwise, it just feels like modern day analogies.

You have just enough knowledge to completely misread and misunderstand EU treaties. And, to be rude about it.

These are not hard ceilings. God does not descent from the heavens and smite your country when you go over them.

Virtually every EU country has gone over these ceilings routinely. Germany is above the 3% mark right now, and has routinely exceeded it!

Heck, the average deficit to GDP ratio in the EU is above 3! https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-euro-indicators/w...

These are aspirations to be applied as needed, not a proscription for austerity. The behavior of the ECB, the European Central Bank, is what matters. And that's a political and economic decision made with essentially a free hand (given that it has only one legal goal).

Austerity is an economic and political choice. No mechanism in the EU forces it.
Yeah but you have to deal with the homophobia and judgement of other members if you want to date around and not immediately settle. The church had a such huge role in western society but squandered it.
you need an inference server. I am doing ~400 tokens/sec on 7B with a 4090 with multiple concurrent (streaming!) requests.

it's reasonably straightforward for me to host this and serve public requests, but would likely just be a base model -- not sure if hosting (eg) 13B chat can serve peoples' use cases
> I know what money is, but who has most of it in their hands and what do they value? Get it.

Sorry, I don't understand this. Who cares who has most of it? My point is money doesn't oppress. That doesn't change if other people have more or less money than me. If we revert to a pre-money society, it's unlikely we lower any levels of oppression that exist.

> those four days become more creative and productive from the extra rest alone

This doesn't generalise. Does it work for the service industry? Emergency services? Electricians? I get that there are a few luxury white collar jobs (e.g. tech worker) that can probably benefit from this, but I don't think it's normal at all.

> There’s a reason our society is based on debt, it forces people to do what they rather wouldnt have.

No, it's so that people can have things earlier in their lives. I could work for 40 years and eventually buy somewhere cash, or I could borrow some money and pay it back over years. I choose the latter, and that's why there's debt: almost everyone finds that to be their best option.
28 MB wasm file. Is it possible to reduce the size a bit?

> There are important buttons hidden which, if pressed, do things favorable to the user but unfavorable to the site operator.

Could you elaborate a bit? How is the flat look benefitting users over site owners? (Is this regarding lists of trackers?)
Government spending actually went up during that period. See chart 1: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-spending-sta...

You can try and redefine austerity into whatever best fits your politics if you like.
Are you hosting that somewhere? If so, how much does that cost and do you have concurrent users?

Yes. It does look surprisingly good for such a small AppImage. Digging around on their forums, I found this thread describing their struggle to thrive in spite of the old-school graphics. It includes three embedded YouTube clips that make it easy to compare LAC with some other famous sims like Aces High 2 from about 10 years ago, Aces High 3 (current), and Aces of the Pacific from 1992.

Might be worth mentioning that while not considered "fake" data per se, Amy Cuddy's famous Power Poses research (one of the most popular TED talks) was debunked and she eventually left Harvard.

I've lived in countries where medical pricing was extremely upfront. You could go in, pay for your services, and walk out without any uncertainty. Even for ER visits, the maximum that you'd pay was clearly denoted, for everything short of a hospital stay.

After moving back to the US, I had a huge amount of culture clash after an ER visit. I was leaving the hospital and asked the front desk where I could pay, and they looked at me like I was a lunatic.

I'd be really curious if you have plans to tackle these types of visits if you get enough bargaining power.
Well, the AMA does constrain the number of doctors in the US so that supply and demand part is on them.
