Good point. Again, the whole thing feels a bit silly. Not a huge fan of DC but not sure why you'd think moving the capitol would actually change anything about how politics works...

I think this "move the capitol" thing is pushed by people who think "then DC would be accountable to small town America because it would be in small town America!"

Which, LOL, no. That's not how it'd work at all. That small town would lose self rule, be developed into a mid-sized city, become completely divorced from its previous character, and nothing else would change other than building a big ass city in Small Town, IL for no particularly discernible reason.

Which sets aside the fact that Small Town America already has an absurdly disproportionate amount of representation per human inhabitant.
The British fighters would sometimes fly in a circle, each pilot watching the tail of the guy in front. Luftwaffe pilot Hans Joachim Marseille figured out a way to beat it.

He'd approach the circle, a bit above it, then dive. He'd pull up towards an airplane on the rim of the circle. Right when his Messerschmitt would stall, he'd be in perfect position to fire into the cockpit of the British pilot, and then fall away. Nobody could follow him.

Doing this successfully required a complete mastery of the airplane. Stall too early, and you won't get a shot in. Stall too late, and you fly right in front of the guns of your opponents. Nobody else was able to make this work, and many died trying.

He racked up 158 kills. He died when his machine suffered engine failure and he bailed out, only to hit the tailplane.

Although a movie was made of his career, The Star of Afrika, it isn't very good.
Your list got long so I did not read it all.

I wrote some simple C a while ago and my go to IDE (which ostensibly says it supports C/C++ out of the box) wasn’t working, and since this was just a dabble, I was really not interested in fighting the IDE.

And, mind, I haven’t touched C in 20 years.

So I fired up Xcode. And, boy, that was easy. For my silly thing, I fat fingered and left thumbed my way to success.

No doubt Xcode has its critics and limits, but for my 3 hour project, I got to focus on my code and not the IDE.

I have another, more substantial pure C, not Mac specific, project I’m thinking of starting, and I’ll go with Xcode until it fails me.
100°F and 99% humidity is a dew point of 100. The highest recorded dew point ever on earth is 95.

No, I do not believe that you were just in Northwest Arkansas with 100°F and 99% humidity.
As an Australian who has moved to the USA, I don't know why it's done. I don't know a single person in Australia who has ever replaced their roof. My dad lives in the same house I was born in 40 years ago, same roof. I've been in Colorado for 4 years. We had a new roof put on 2 years ago, then another 6 weeks ago due to a bad hail storm.
It’s conceptually simple, but it does introduce a coupling between the drivetrain and the weapon, which presumably wasn’t necessary previously. I wonder how much engineering went into managing that.
For anyone running locally, could you please describe your hardware setup? CPU only? CPU+GPU(s)? How much memory? What type of CPU? Particularly interested in larger models (say >30b params).

For transparency, I work for an x86 motherboard manufacturer and the LLM-on-local-hw space is very interesting. If you're having trouble finding the right HW, would love to hear those pain points.

That's the reason fast.com comes from the same servers as Netflix content - it's difficult to prioritize one without prioritizing the other.
NASA also used Amigas - [0]

Gary Jones replied; "And Commodore was easy to work with back then. When we asked for documentation, they sent us a stack of documentation about four feet high. They were willing to tell us everything about their machine. Since we had to design some custom hardware to go inside, it really helped to know exactly how everything worked."

"It just turned out that it was a good machine. The things that make a machine good for playing games also tend to make it good for processing and displaying data, because you've got some of the same problems. You need a very efficient, very fast operating system, and the Amiga has that and very little overhead too. That's what makes it nice; we don't load down the system running the overhead; we can just process the data."

"Most of our customizing is hardware customizing. The Amiga operating system is flexible enough that we have to drop into assembly only once in a while to initialize some of the special boards we use, but otherwise the operating system is fine; we don't do anything unusual with it. We use it just like it is and build hardware for our interfacing requirements because we have to pull the data out of the data bus in this building, process it, and put the data back in."

Even if llama.cpp was ~30% slower and the same size as ONNX, something like a custom grammar implementation or an extended context would be a huge deal.

I vaguely remember this from reading Biggles. I think came from pilots getting shot down over enemy lines on the western front in WWI.
What I don't like about this reporting is that someone out there is doing something modestly novel and the article has a ridicule undertone about it. So many good things don't happen in corporations or the government because the managers fear this kind of response.
fair point. thankfully gcc will compile c++
I just think it’s laughable that they think encryption is the constraint.

If one could make the argument that the police force was 1)staffed with smart, moral, motivated, and well trained individuals, and 2) had adequate capacity and resources to pursue these crimes, and the only thing standing in their way was encryption, I’d at least be willing to entertain the conversation, but since little emphasis seems to be placed and 1&2, it’s hard to take this line of argument seriously.

I guess you can chalk that up to naivety on my part. I've always assumed there is a social contract on top of the CLA I probably signed, that the software I wrote would continue to be available and maintained via contributions from both the company and community. And since they very obviously benefit from a plethora of OSS themselves, including the language they've used to build their products and the platforms they undoubtedly run on.

I guess I'm always free to fork the codebase I care about under its current license and try to build a community around that. But I think we all know that's not as viable.

Anyway, I'll just be reconsidering my use of software open sourced by companies, I guess, regardless of how permissively it's licensed. The free lunches I thought we collectively agreed were awesome and ought to keep helping each other provide, are apparently ending as money gets tight.
It's interesting that the complaint for scrutiny comes now when loud liberal voices are upset with current rulings. When the rulings favored the liberal agenda there was no calls for scrutiny everything was just fine. Anyone who said anything different was told it doesn't matter it's totally fine.

Never mind the fact that all the complaints that are made today against the current Court could be made against past justices. The call for scrutiny seems to be about neutering one branch of government and less about any actual problem. Because if people and Congress really cared about corruption they would look to themselves first. Where are the calls for the scrutiny of all the Congressional members that just happened to magically sell off vast amounts of stocks right before the legislation was announced for the covid lockdowns that crashed the market. They didn't want any scrutiny then.

What I never see in any of these articles about justices getting favors or gifts or this and that is any link that influenced the outcome of a case. You'd think that would be readily apparent because the opinions and views of these justices are known they've held them for decades. The rulings they make are very consistent to the point that scholars can predict the outcomes of nearly every case. So if them having friendships with powerful people and receiving gifts were influencing the outcomes of cases we would see inconsistent rulings happening. We don't see that at all.

You can disagree with the ruling to strike down roe v Wade you can disagree with the bruin ruling. You can disagree with the ruling striking down the Tillman act but what you can't do is say that these rulings were inconsistent with the views and the history of the justices who made the rulings.

Without pointing out inconsistencies in the rulings of the justices everything in this article is absolute garbage and useless. It's just someone whining that they didn't like the rulings not that scrutiny or ethics would have changed the ruling. Because the easiest thing to do is to shout down someone you can make no argument against. Because if there's corruption if there's an ethics violations that are influencing rulings that should be easy to point out but where is the evidence?
I believe that's why Netflix introduced the fast.com speedtest, which runs through Netflix servers. Reducing the likelihood that the test gets shaped.
Right. The difference is that you don't NEED a whole damn team to do financial forensics on the sale if the actual owner is recorded on the fucking plat map.

For normal people docs with equivalent or more info are definitely provided to tons of intermediaries and available to the gov.
Nothing compelling that I know of. Other meteorite strikes being described using the same language might count. A record of having used the particular meteorite in religious apparatus, more so. It is the sort of thing that would have been recorded, but records are spotty.

I think the headdress was supposed to have been covered in gold leaf, which might have attracted lightning strikes. Just cracking from normal weathering and falling off is the most likely cause, though. It seems like a thing that they would have liked to blame on something dramatic like a thunderbolt.
At least they're consistent.
Yeah, Aliexpress "premium shipping" is by air, and like Temu they have a minimum order threshold to trigger it. But Aliexpress is a messy jumble of tiny merchants with their own shipping fees etc etc, whereas Temu abstracts away all that complexity.

Ask HN: How many open source projects lack a succession plan?
When I read through the Google Groups post by Christian Bradandt about the future of the vim project[1] the picture it painted is that Bram had no idea his days on this mortal coil were almost. It seems there wasn't a succession or continuity of operations plan in place, leaving the project leaders with the unsavory task of having to ask the grieving family members to turn over access keys, domains, etc.

How common is it for an open source project to have a defined continuity plan and should the presence of one -- and that it's updated -- be considered a sine non qua before financial donations are made to the project?

I really don’t think that was ever in doubt. You only need to use it for a very short time to find that the ergonomics are infinitely nicer than Terraform.
You have no clue what you're talking about. You are correct in that low cost PLC hardware can replace relay and pneumatic controls, but HVAC systems aren't just basic relays and pneumatics. They are microcomputers that communicate with actual protocols. They is no hot cutover or simple handover like you say.

Source: I literally just lead a project to upgrade the PLC controls on a few air handler units and build entire server and network infrastructure. We had to run Ethernet to each of these from the network closets because they previously had went to a Windows XP box in the maintenance guys office. There were many challenges, one being getting the configuration off a couple of the old PLCs to make the new ones even talk to them.
You're missing the point, they aren't saying "your development process should never involve a terminal" but rather "you don't necessarily have to use this bare-bones setup which happens to be terminal based"
It's tough when there's a cat and mouse game to spoof your UA so you don't get blocked. I wish webmasters had better relationships with scrapers and could accept the realities that your data will be scraped no matter how much you try and stop it.
The partially alphabetic middle row of QWERTY is a remnant of an alphabetic layout that preceded it. QWERTY reduced typewriter jamming by moving common consecutive letters away from each other.

Presumably this is a general comment, since this release does not (and wasn't intended to) include any of the Quake II models, levels, graphical assets, sound effects, or music. It's purely engine source code.
Never works is not quite fair. A huge proportion of the housing market in Vienna is government owned and Vienna seems to work fine.
Amen on that. The past few rigs I built for myself were all ITX machines. I went through and undervolted my CPU, RAM, and GPU. Once my current gaming rig dies I'm just going to stick with the consoles for gaming until they goes to shit as well.

In an era of abundance we seem to be trying to use more power to support what we already do, rather than rethinking what we do to use less power. It's a shame!
This brand of narcissistic, pervasive pessimism is why I don’t hang out with many programmers.
I'll definitely check it out. That said, I'm starting to feel a lot more skeptical of the ability for even founders to manage stuff like this. I would say the same of my own OSS as a "founder," but if my company controls it in some way then I'm not sure there's a reasonable way for me to ensure that continues in perpetuity. At least not via a split model like a lot of these recent news stories have revolved around.

From what I've seen of Mitchell as well, at least in the past, I kind of doubt this is something he would have gone through with on his own.
Most of these attacks are done with completely automated tools. Put in an IP range and off it runs. I doubt most users even realize when they get stuck in the honeypots. Just run the script and go off doing something else.
I've been working with JSON in SQLite lately for backing up a bunch of data from an API that returns JSON.

The JSON functions work well for basic usage. And I'm so glad that the -> and ->> operators were added since it makes the syntax so much shorter than using the json_extract() function. I'd say SQLite works with JSON as well as the other databases mentioned: Postgres and MySQL.

My big wish is that we could get something as advanced as jq for use in manipulating JSON. The JSON path language used for extracting JSON is very basic.

Alas, I probably am asking for too much for a relational database to support advanced JSON manipulation too. You can do a fair amount of JSON manipulation by extracting the data to a tabular format and using SQL to do the manipulation from there.
Scalr and Spacelift come to mind.

Spacelift is a significantly better product than Terraform Cloud, and since they apparently can't compete on quality they're going with this instead.
If you want romance of flying, and depending on your style of "romance", you might try _Glacier Pilot_ a biography of Bob Reeve who came back from flying in South America as a bush pilot with undiagnosed polio, made it to Alaska, and perfected the art of crash landing on glaciers as a perfectly normal way of doing business. The book was written by Beth Day (Romulo?) who I believe was his granddaughter.
These strategies help me survive the horrors of uncertainty. I hope these would help you too!
As a huge fan of LBD and Swanson's work, I'd like to "build" on this piece by reaching further back into the history of computer aided theory formation. Not very far, mind you, but to 1977, when Douglas Lenat published a PhD Thesis on that topic [1].

Of course, theory formation goes further back than that, but Lenat's work seems important - at least through the lenses of those of us who started in this space not with numeric, but with symbolic processing.

Lenat was criticized on the AM project because, while it was operating in the space of set-theoretic reasoning, it was directly implemented in Lisp, itself a set-theoretic platform. So, during his postdoc, Lenat invented what, today, we would call a "DSL" - a program which provides an API which is not set-theoretic, but rather discovery operations oriented. From there, he built the program Eurisko (brief sketch at [2] but gives good google) which did some amazing things.

I offer my suspicion that, when the dust settles, AI is headed in the direction of "hybrid" systems,those which combine the best characteristics of LLMs, Bayes, Symbolic,and more.

We finished converting our upstairs into an Airbnb unit last month. Just by hanging our shingle we are already up to 70% occupancy and have raised rates. Airbnb is flooded by overpriced luxury stays, but there is still plenty of demand for mid-market rentals.

> hired a property management company to handle the day-to-day logistics, and booked a photographer to make their listing stand out in a sea of options on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo

The big mistake is shopping out everything to middle men. Agencies will take your money and not care about your bottom line. You don't actually need fancy photos if you are aiming at price-conscious consumers. Cleaners will eat 90% of your profits. All of these are supposed to be your profit centers.
There's a reason other than "because it's fun to tinker." I do it because I love the capabilities it provides. I don't love managing Ceph & Proxmox & whatnot, but I love being able to deploy whatever I want into a beefy cluster with 10gb without having to worry about cloudspend. If I wanted to replicate what I run in my home infra (I don't consider it a lab), it'd cost 200-300 in compute and easily another 300 in storage a month. Instead I spent ~2k on hardware and ~35/month in electricity.

It's the same thing with 3d printers, some like them because they want to install clipper and tune the best/fastest benchy. I do it because they love being able to CAD something and have it in my hands as soon as possible.

That said, nobody goes as far as this guy without really enjoying the tinkering

Sure, but the providers for some of the biggest platforms are maintained by HashiCorp[1] - like the AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes providers[2], and it appears the Pulumi AWS provider (for example) _does_ use the Terraform AWS provider, even to this day[3].

3. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/tree/008c4360bc9fc24303... - Just prove it to myself, I can see the `upstream` git submodule, which embeds pulumi/terraform-provider-aws, which is a fork of hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, although the repo was not created as a fork in Github, so it is not marked as a "fork" and so I have to compare commit histories to tell that it is a fork.

Are there any building code considerations (e.g., chimney effect for a fire) regarding a multi-floor wiring chase? Isn't this why laundry chutes are no longer permitted in some places?
Thank you for reminding me of this story. He is my favorite author.
I agree that the HUD definition is better, but what do we do when there are large numbers of people in an area where there is not available affordable housing? Like if market rent starts at $1000/month for a bachelor suite, and a minimum wage worker earns $2000/month, what do we do (societally)?
I'm not talking about contracts. I'm talking about labor laws and there have been prior instances where interpretations of labor law, the intent of the law, and how contractors were treated trumped what was written in the contracts (e.g. permatemps).
Same here. I don't think I've signed anything by hand other than a restaurant bill or the occasional time I'm handed a document in person within the last 8 years or so.

Adding to your list, even government documents as well as those related to my medical practice and licensing/registration stating "electronic signatures are not accepted" have taken the wet signature from Apple.

Presumably this is all valid?
Amazing how little distance it's moved. Maybe it should be obesity-weighted to show it better.

There's a pretty good Open Source definition that's over 20 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition

"Business Source License" is not Open Source. You don't have to release your software as Open Source if you don't want to, I certainly write a lot of non-open-source software for a living. But people/companies want to take advantage of the good-will/reputation that comes from calling their software Open Source, and associating it with really Open Source software, without really making it Open Source. That's sleazy.
I didn’t realize Quake 2 had been re-released!

For what it’s worth, the first expansion (The Reckoning) was probably my favorite single player Quake 2 experience. Favorite multiplayer was Devastation Quake, where one player is in a mech and everyone else has to team up to knock them out.
