The amount of people who work in "startups" but actually work for government funded accelerators, investment funds that only invest in Shopify, government jobs relating to startup R&D, as opposed to actual startups, is shocking.

Yeah I don't think there's anyone left. It's tough to find certainly a Series A or later that isn't invested in by BDC, CDPQ, etc. They think they're helping but they're actually destroying the potential of the industry, everyone with a good idea just goes to the US.

FWIW, these are useful for more than styling. I don't do any front-end dev work, but I use these regularly in selenium to find components in the page to interact with.
Be careful saying as much. You may get downvoted for telling the truth.
A single double-parked car in my city can result in the street being completely inaccessible for thru-traffic. I've also seen them break out the spotters and back up into their turning lane.

I assume they're also reticent to implement the nuclear option, because even a cursory google search didn't return any incidents of this happening anytime recently (though obviously that doesn't mean it doesn't).

It did, however, return a few results about fire trucks being in (non head-on) collisions on city streets and several firefighters being injured on-board.
A sports Wiki with Creative Commons PDFs of cards could offer a free alternative to the traditional cards industry.

I'm sure that there are printing firms out there who might be interested in printing small runs of CC cards to see if they can make a consistent margin above their costs.
I got the FirstEnergy settlement email this morning and was very suspicious, but I'm finding multiple sources online claiming it's legitimate.

Is this an intentional design to make it so that people don't claim the money? It has to be this bad on purpose, right?

No, of course they aren't mostly about that.

You can tell it because it's not actually Google or Cloudflare installing captchas on websites of third parties. They in fact cannot do it. It's done by the people operating the websites and who desperately need to protect it against abuse, and for whom letting a company track you is not even a hypothetical motive.
Ah yes I missed that part, that is indeed a tricky back reference to manage and pull off in prose.
'IF' - easy to criticise. Let's see how much time you invest into marketing vs the product itself. A lot of developers [solo at least] fall into the latter category. Been there many a time so I can empathise.
There had been by that point a long-standing admiration among the British (and American) intelligentsia for Stalin, the USSR, and in general Soviet Communism; this coupled with a complete denial of the real state of the country and the aforementioned unprintability of any real criticism of it.

The best source for getting the picture of this is Malcolm Muggeridge's book Chronicles of Wasted Time; he was a reporter tasked with going to the USSR and telling the Brits about what it was like there, years before WWII. Having believed, like his friends, that it was paradise on earth, it was a shock to discover how terrible it was, and even more of a shock to see his honest reporting junked and to be told to make it out to be more of a paradise on earth.

You can also get the key points from Scott Alexander's review of it. https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/08/11/book-review-chronicles...
It's highly likely that they analyzed images because they could not reliably access the digital signal traces. ECG machines, including networked "digital" ECGs store digital ECGs only in proprietary formats, and do not make them accesible as raw data.

The Mayo models were built using digital signal traces.
Anyone who takes such an extreme position during a war would be most likely conquered by the enemy. Ideally there should be no wars, but if there are, some compromises are necessary to win them. Besides, in a brutal war like the World Wars censorship is the least of anyone's worries. If your city is being bombed or you are fighting at a trench, controlling sensitive information is far more important.
Any idea how the GPU compares to the Nvidia's Jetson series?
Spreadsheets are definitely already the greatest low-code tool of all time. Not sure what innovations you're looking for. There have been all sorts of advanced features added to excel over the years, some requiring more code to work with than others. Like power query and power pivot.

I think what makes spreadsheets as popular as they are is the flexibility. Most low-code solutions sacrifice too much power, which causes users to get frustrated whenever something outside of the normal workflow happens.
Today most guides on SH, sed, AWK, Perl, ANSI C, FVWM, Emacs... will just work
even if they are from Linux Gazzete in the 90's.

For instance, setting up the XTerm title with terminal escapes, renaming

Are We Looking at Rate Limiting the Wrong Way? A Fresh Perspective
Counterpoint: as a person who used Fedora and then Ubuntu daily for the last four years, and is watching closely for the new features in every release, this feels _fantastic_, but only if Red Hat delivers on the features they're pivoting to (HDR, proper high-resolution support, Wayland).

Revenue-generating activity, as you named it, are the things I wait for and don't get in every next release, while RH spends (well, used to spend) resources and money for repackaging Libre Office, rewriting gedit from scratch, writing custom video player and so on. I don't need all that, I need triple buffering for smooth 60 fps interface, proper screen sharing in Wayland, working fractional scaling, but every other release there is only another GNOME redesign, another GNOME application, another features here and there. Pivoting to improving system fundamentals instead is a _good_ thing.
Home players add the free parking rules because otherwise the game is a brutal winner’s snowball that is unfun for the losers, especially kids.

Gravitational energy.

Necessary disclaimer: Gravitational energy / energy in General Relativity is notoriously difficult to define and the story of energy conservation is even worse. In general, you can no longer expect energy to be conserved globally. Locally yes, due to the 4-divergence of the energy-momentum tensor vanishing, but globally you can have effects such as cosmic expansion that causes all photons to lose energy as they travel through the universe and, as far as we know, that energy is simply lost.

A few references:

Calling function with dynamic number of arguments would be slower, if you pass that as higher-order-function. Because VM would have to figure out at runtime if it needs to execute plus/0 or plus/2 depending on number of passed arguments.

I.e. slowdown without any major benefits (i.e. use case of passing function with known number of arguments is much more used comparing to "unknown number of of arguments").

Judging by most of the comments on Reddit (and about half the comments on select HN posts) … I think you’re right. Many adults lack the critical thinking and systems thinking necessary to use LLMs like ChatGPT effectively.

I’d like to think that the conversational style shortcuts their usual analytic skill, and maybe the next generation will more widely have a native understanding of the difference between LLM responses and human responses. But I think it’s more closely related to the phenomenon where many humans can’t currently choose whether total summations, year over year changes, or per capita representations are the most correct to use for a given situation.

There’s a lack of “validating input” in both online and IRL conversations which is a huge barrier to a person really analyzing information that they’re presented with. Many people are “below the median” in their ability to do this. But more importantly, I’m not sure which percentile cutoff currently is “good enough” at it.
Definitely, also, they're called CSS selectors but I use them a lot in javascript for query selection too.
I love the idea. The interface is not friendly to people with bad eyesight, though. It would be better if you could tab to change what you were looking at and make those things bigger.
> Canada has a pretend economy for the most part (outside of resources)

What do you mean by “pretend economy”? When I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Canada and consider Canada’s ranking across a broad range of metrics, it looks pretty real to me.

Thanks for pointing out those models. I see from a quick Huggingface search that the bge model is available in GGML format. You can trivially add new GGML format models to the code by simply adding the direct download link to this line:

https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/llama_embeddings_fastap...

So to add the base bge model, you could just add this URL to the list:

I will add that as an additional default.
If anyone's around here and isn't adverse to actually being paid for developing extensions in a non-shitty way, I built https://github.com/dougwithseismic/monetize-this and use it in my own extensions.

I get that it's noble to hold a position of 'no way, I will never monetize, I am a shining white knight' but lets be real, we all gotta eat. If you choose not to then that's great, Im glad but please; monetization !== shady shit.

There's just an overlap.
I did that but the trick to fix that was to use the other person's name and : prefix as the stop word. So in your case "Stella:". Then if it tries to continue the other side conversation it would just stop.

I also noticed this when browsing the demo village, some conversations it ran through and did both parts.
My kids are into collecting pokemon cards big time. We have this conversation pretty frequently; why didn't I buy pokemon cards in the 90's? We'd be rich! I try to tell them about the over production and glut in collectible cards in the 90's but it really doesn't sink in. At the time we had just come off the beanie baby and pog fads. I personally had no interest in buying any thing. I still have no clue why these cards are "worth" as much as they say they are. On the other hand those black lotus mtg cards I used to see for $10, that is real scarcity I understand.
so to spammers shadowbanning makes no difference, but good-faith users somehow get discouraged even if they don't know they are shadowbanned just because they get no reaction to their posts? how is an explicit ban any less discouraging?

i can't see how shadowbanning makes things worse for good-faith users. and evidently it does work against spammers here on HN (though we don't know if it is the shadow or the banning that makes it effective, but i'll believe dang when he says that it does help)

Nah, you're just focusing on the opportunities to improve rather than counting the victories. Here's my top 3 big steps forward of the last 20 years:

* Webapps don't need to be installed

* Webapps work on all platforms without vendor lock-in

* Webapps aren't trusted and get sandboxed by default

and a bunch of minor victories along the way (you can right click -> inspect every webapp, APIs generally exist and have entered the cultural lexicon, cross-site SSO exists and works).
I have a suspicion that truly effective browser fingerprinting breaks GDPR along with other privacy laws.

For a long time my photography has been secondary to printing things onto cards, that is an 8.5x11 card with a QR code on the back, if you scan it you go to that page. I have a bunch of cardboard anaglyph glasses so of course I give one out when I give out an anaglyph card.

Lately I've been getting into "straight-to-web" publishing again since I find my photos do really well on Mastodon.
Angular is a fucking abomination on this front.

Angular doesn't separate concerns at all, it just ties it all together with an entirely new and un-intuitive DSL that you have to now write in the HTML.

Just look at your DSL here: https://angular.io/guide/binding-syntax#types-of-data-bindin...

You abso-fucking-lutely are writing code in your html, you're just writing a crippled version of their custom DSL instead of plain old javascript.

Frankly - I much prefer to write plain old javascript instead of learning a new bastard language that isn't useful anywhere else.

JSX achieves that relatively well. It's not entirely plain old javascript. But it's about as close as I've seen anyone get for a template language complete with data binding.

EJS https://ejs.co/ was my pick before JSX. For similar reasons - I don't want to have to learn a dsl which is just a shoddy wrapper for the JS anyways. Just let me write the damn javascript.
I'm curious about a few things:
- How many rules are there, and how complex do they get? It sounds pretty substantial if you're running into performance issues (and/or you're working with highly demanding performance requirements)
- What do your rules look like? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how you'd get recursion if there's just AND/OR operators. I can imagine an AST getting fairly big/deep, but the only way I can think of to get recursion would be if you're calling external functions multiple times, with different values over the course of processing a single request.

It definitely works on less "personal" / more standardized items (like diapers, uniforms (the cleaning service would come once a week when I worked at Hertz, dropping off X-many pants and shirts in the right size, and take the dirty ones to be cleaned), etc)

That vendor lockin and difficult-to-replace parts were a significant driving force behind right to repair, yet ebike manufacturers have successfully used artificial difficulty as a reason to exclude their products from the law.
An example from an earlier comment of mine on a different thread (assuming I've understood correctly):

> let's say we had a grammar that had a key "healthy" with values "very_unhealthy" or "moderately_healthy." For broccoli, the LLM might intend to say "very_healthy" and choose "very" but then be pigeonholed into saying "very_unhealthy" because it's the only valid completion according to the grammar.

That said, you can use beam search to more or less solve this problem by evaluating the joint probability of all tokens in each branch of the grammar and picking the one with the highest probability (you might need some more nuance for free-form strings where the LLM can do whatever it wants and be "valid").
This is absurd. Nobody would ever say “But the core of Nazi ideas are an analysis of genetics” as though that excused anything. The fruits of both ideologies were hellish disasters, and the oppressed/oppressor dichotomy of Marxist thought is every bit as poisonous as the aryan/non-aryan dichotomy of Nazism.

There are no clean designs on a large team. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

Zealots provide solutions that cannot possibly survive contact with actual humans. The rest of the team talks about them behind their backs.

> I've seen things like React embedding the CSS directly in with the markup and component logic etc.

You were talking about bad designs? Embedded styling is not Cascading Style Sheets. It’s embedded styling. There’s no sheet, and no cascade.

Nothing is free, and few things are easy. There are lines that are easier to maintain in practice than others, and separation of CSS is one of the former.

I wanted something that works natively with llama-cpp and langchain that is also small and easy to hack on. And I also wanted everything to be seamlessly cached in SQlite. And also something that had built in semantic search with FAISS. And string similarity using multiple different similarity measures beyond just cosine similarity. And token-level embedding support. There is much more flexibility when you do it yourself to add whatever functionality you want quickly.
I remember looking at those yield percentages and feeling tempted. 6-8% seemed insanely high compared to the fed rate at the time. I passed because it seemed like the best case scenario for my finances is that I would be making some sort of defi loan to a cartel or warlord.

It was obviously some form of pyramid scheme based on the rate alone.
has this not been the case for a very long time? besides a sneaky way for Google to train its models, I had the impression that Captchas are more like a way to increase the friction rather than anything that would actually stop a determined actor?

they increase the processing/energy cost/set-up time/difficulty to the point where it may no longer be profitable to access that content, but no one really thought a powerful computer with the right software couldn't actually solve them at pace, right?
Perhaps you hadn’t heard he was the second biggest donor for the 2022 elections. Might be spicy.

“Bankman-Fried contributed more than $70 million to election campaigns in less than 18 months, placing him among the nation’s top political donors.

More ontopic: ESP32s are pretty amazing. Although I've not been able to keep mine stable and connected to wifi with MicroPython or CircuitPython, the range of stuff that's possible is astonishing. Mine is fairly old, I probably should get a newer one to see if it makes a difference.

I'd worry about pests. I've done some food forest type stuff and you can run into pest problems pretty easily. Rats and pigeons and all that. Rats will eat under-ripe fruits before humans can harvest them, and for taller trees like apple trees windfall apples will litter the street.

I think you need some kind of animal to clean up food waste from food forests and even traditional farms, and you'd really like that to be deer and not rats. Deer aren't really compatible with an urban environment.
