Bram was a great man. Vim is a great piece of software. Vim is charityware. Distributed for free, it encourages people to make donations to help children in Unganda. I used to donate some money, starting from 2010. Bram sent you a key corresponding to your donation when he received it, and you could use the key to accumulate the amount of you donations, which would give you some priority in suggesting improvements in Vim. He responded very promptly after donations were made. My last donation on 17 July 2023 did not receive his reply, and I was worried.

I am by no means a Vim master, but Vim is virtually the ONLY text editor that I have been using since 2009. I typed my Ph.D. thesis (in Chinese!) and all
of my papers/code using Vim.

Bram, thank you very much for this masterpiece. Thank you for making your masterpiece charityware, which has inspired me to do the same thing with my code.

R.I.P.
lol, as a civilization we've arrived to the point where books/internet are more available/commoditized than "good food." Sad Bastard indeed.
In my experience enterprise devs don't really like what they are having to create either. They feel boxed into it because of all the petty rules that large organisations create.
Weird because most of it is just regex not vim. Running python tool from inside of vim also doesn’t feel like “vim one liner”.
Hah strange that people are downvoting this answer, I think the parent referred to skipping a meal rather than not eating for the rest of (now short) life.

I’ve been skipping a meal for 5 years now, with just having lunch and dinner, and for the last year have been trying to do only dinner some of the days with relative success. Benefits include staying fit, having more energy, having more time, enjoying the food I actually eat more, and being able to skip any meal any time without feeling too bad about it.
30 odd years ago, there was a similar book: How to boil an egg - https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Boil-Egg-Jan-Arkless/dp/0716022...
It's even weirder for me as I use the Colemak keyboard layout.

When I first switched to Colemak, around 2010, I remapped the movement keys so that they were in the same physical location as hjkl on qwerty.

Then I realised I'd lost compatibility with other readline based software. So I just learned to use the new, not particularly ergonomic, positions under Colemak.

At this point it's almost always from muscle memory now and couldn't tell you what I press half the time.

Vim is like the Great Glass Elevator, it has a button for moving in every direction and using it since the 90s has been like learning to play a musical instrument.
After reading most comments here, few/none mentions the real "technical" challenge with such idea : society.

Even if the tech would be able to "revive" them, they also need to bet that :
- the company won't go bankrupt (how many corporations last 10yearS?50?100?)
- no technical issue happens (blackout, computer bug, ...) : this increases with each year added
- society's law/structure will remain the same (democratic, not a chaos)

So unless it is government-backed I would not bet much on the success rate...

An unpopular fact: nobody has to reproduce. It's an optional, opt-in choice.

Most people seem to make this choice, like many other lifestyle choices, so it's easy to gloss over the fact that it's a decision that was made (and that that decision has consequences). But a decision it is, and an optional one it remains.

Has there ever been a case of a CEO singularly or even collectively achieving said ambitions? No. A lot of these people are cut throat, near sociopaths in personality. I guess we should be lucky they're just CEOs. If they're not of that personality, it's often largely due to luck. James Simons, who has had a large impact via his foundation work, in which he ensures funding for people to drive their own ideas versus his, readily and humbly admits that luck is very underappreciated in success.

>Maybe I'm misunderstanding MKML. As I understood it, MKML is a compression step that then feeds into another framework like HF's Transformers or PyTorch.

MKML is not a compression tool that feeds into another framework. It is an inference runtime (like FasterTransformers or vllm) except that MKML is also plug and play with existing frameworks like Hugging Face.

Polish ING modifies IBAN on pasting it during bank transfer and forces to enter manually first two digits "for your security". They also disable IBAN selection in transfer summary view, so one cannot copy it and double check before confirming the transfer. ING seems to deploy the most arbitrary "security" measures found on most random blog posts and sprouted during the most brain-dead brainstorming meetings.

To be honest, OP seems to be at the beginning of its reading journey. His method is laborious. This "chain of summaries" seems to be hardly effective. I think the fractal method is close to be atomic - so a good one IMO.

I would suggest to read the book multiple times. The books mentioned here are not literature masterpieces, they are philosophical or they are essays. So the point is to extract information. So it's ok to read the book multiple times. If you understand 60% on the first read, then 80% on the second and 95% on the third, it's alright (Figures are illustrative). By the way, at 95% of understanding of a book, you are already a "specialist" of the book.

Next, take notes when you feel it's important about some concepts. Taking notes is an experience things. The best way to boost this learning would be to learn the semantic of the book before reading, actually it's the role of the first reading. I would not advise to take notes on the whole book structure before the second reading.

Finally, use Zettelkasten-like method to link your notes together. It will reduce redundancy, labour and keep all relevant information.

> I supposed a quick test would be getting to detect and fix all bugs in an open source project like chromium, but using an older version of chromium, where bugs are known and fixes exist, and see what it comes up with.

This is an outrageously high bar. Particularly if you compare it to the equivalent human task of "here's a printout of the code, read it once and say the first thing that comes to mind with no tools". It's basically whiteboarding where you're judged on your train of thought being correct.

Burn out feels different than that. It’s more like you’re grinding your gears when shifting and things are slipping.

Show HN: Lolo, GPT-4 based Food Tracker
Hi, HN.

Long time reader, first time writer here.

This product has been a dream of mine for many years.

Someone wise once said, “We are what we eat,” and although it’s a bit of a stretch, I always wondered who we are considering the food environment today.

Food is everywhere, and living a casual city life, it’s hard to find yourself more than a hundred steps from a food source. The last time, I was surprised to find a food shelf in a bookstore. (I thought it was about “food for the soul”)

An even bigger problem is the contents of that food. It raises a lot of questions about the worst traits of capitalism and human exploitation.

So, I believe it’s always good to push back on this and make tools that facilitate mindful eating.

I tried many food trackers over the years, but was never satisfied - it’s just too much hassle. All these interfaces, lists, lists, lists. It takes hours to keep your food diary.

I imagined a good one, where you can just type what you eat, without any effort, but it just wasn’t possible. There was no such tech to make it. Until GPT-4 came on stage.

When I tested it, I was like, “We can really do it now!”

So, first, we bootstrapped a simple telegram bot and gave it to ten friends.

Many seemed to like it, so we invested in developing it further and finally released it as an iOS app.

So, this is the story of Lolo - a food tracking chat bot.

We would be happy to hear what you think and gather any feedback.

You can try it out with a free trial (ATTENTION: make sure to cancel the trial right away to avoid unintentional charging).

Most painful limitations

= It’s only relying on GPT-4 knowledge currently, no external database connected

= No barcode scanner (and it’s not that good with branded items, especially rare ones)

= No long-term memory about food, it only remembers the current day.

= As a consequence, there are discrepancies in nutrition values. We found that usually its errors kind of balance each other on the scale of days, but if you need pro-level accuracy this is definitely not for you. Also, the stricter the inputs the better the outputs. So if you write “I had some meat” it will log something, but “200g roasted chicken breast” will get your closer to the truth.

Of course, many of those are fixable and in the roadmap.
Nonetheless, I find it quite usable for my everyday casual food tracking.

Also, for those wondering what’s under the hood I posted a separate article here

They've found evidence of periods of apparent high atmospheric SO2 in some ice cores. There are multiple reasons, outside of volcanoes, this could have occurred.

The fact that vulcanologists have no evidence of this eruption doesn't seem to trouble anyone on the "climate science" side. So much so, they _insist_ the volcanologists are just "missing" it. They also need it to exist, because it is their only explanation for widespread temperature anomalies around this time period. Whenever the model fails to predict something, they go searching for a volcano, seemingly. It helps because it has high levels of atmospheric distribution, other sources of SO2, obviously, do not.

And, on the back of this wholly incomplete work, they would like to purposefully put high levels of man made SO2 in the atmosphere to try to interfere with the climate. We should do our best to positively impact the climate. I have strong doubts about all of these radical SO2 ideas.
Yep. Sometimes reddit has an image that’s either incorrectly cropped or it’s zoomed out so far that it’s unreadable. How many times do I need to click on the image before I can see it properly? I’ve counted as many as 4 taps through various awful image viewer things. Sometimes no about of tapping and zooming will render the image properly. The irony is my browser is great at showing images already - panning and zooming works beautifully.

I miss Apollo. The friction with Reddit’s awful design and coding choices makes me use their site a lot less. I think that might be a good thing in the long run. It leaves me hungry for something better.
