Before I actually had kids was the first .com bust... I was unemployed as were many in bay area and I filed for unemployment or medical (i cant recall now) but I was told that I was ineligible for benefits because I had a bunch of unpaid child support and other debts in Los Angeles... (never lived there, no kids at time, avoid LA all my life)

It took me months to prove that I wasa childless, 20-something dork in bay area...

nightmare - but any "credit" agency is scum
Nice traditional setup. No Microservice Workflow Orchestration. (Yes that is a thing)
Here's the said black magic (for amd64/unix) that the gevent project relies on:

https://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet/blob/master/src/...

I still think it's too much for a Python project -- if you think you need this in 2023, maybe you need to reevaluate? I'd seriously have another look at Go.

Hm, strange, HN seems to set referrer-policy to 'origin', which seems like it should send a referer header when going to external sites[0]? But clearly it does not. So I guess I'm just misunderstanding how that header works.

I was trying to be conservative.
It's good to have high level visibility into the reality of what's happening. Certainly things that ought not be in Russia are getting into Russia. The glaring omission of the article though, is that it never identifies which sanction is being violated.

Who is actually breaking which law with which action? Should the Americans be rounding up EU citizens? Should the Germans be seizing TI bank accounts? Should the Americans arrest the TI CEO because an Estonian sold parts to a Chinese man who doesn't participate in any sanctions at all?
RIP Flash-only Web sites, you were just born too early, we had to wait for CSS3 and unsecured AWS buckets to match your stunning beauty and butt-clenching security flaws.
I'm a big fan of webGPU. I use it within my Three.js projects. Really happy to see it gaining support worldwide. I hope either it or similar projects continue to gain traction!
Yeah Flash was slow, but the common alternatives for in-browser animation/games were (and still are) far slower. H.264/5 maybe did video better than Flash, even then idk, Flash YouTube was always way faster on my old iMac than HTML5 YT. Google Hangouts/Meet will lag a high-end Intel MBP thanks to the unaccelerated VP8/9 video, but AIM Flash-based video calls ran fine on an iMac G4. On top of that, there was never a real replacement to the Flash creation software. All those Flash games that people made without really understanding how to code, no longer doable.

I guess Flash had to die because of how outdated, insecure, and proprietary it was. It did seem like a nightmare to support well on mobile. Just wish someone made something strictly better.
Other countries have national ID cards that must be presented to get credit. If there is no universal and secure way to prove you are you then identity can always be stolen. No amount of duct taping the credit system can fix that.
Not that you can feed arbitrary audio files to without an app for that.
Aren't you confusing hub vs mid motors ? There is no reason for pedal assist to be more expensive, some of them are as dumb as "is pedal turning > assist". I've even seen people remove the chain of their bike and still get the electric assist while providing next to zero effort

I very much doubt they are worried about an obscure open source project.
If you've got a high context task, such that it requires lots of explanation in the question, you can either have a very long prompt, or customize the model so the context is included and the prompt can be shorter.
> You certainly can unelect politicians in the next election.

Unfortunately this is not literally true in that an election puts a different politician in the place of the former one. This is how most democracies are inconsistent and don’t allow people to choose anarchy.
Disappointing if true. That's the only Meta app I tolerate.
It's both imho. Too slow for the street, too fast for anywhere where other bikes are
Turns out a lot of humans bond over mutually shared grasping, so it can make you 'not fun at parties' when they're harrumphing about things that Do. Not. Matter. and are put off by you not dog-piling.

Most people wonder how the Dalai Lama can be so serene. I wonder how he can be so approachable.
I’ve had a similar experience with Taoism. It is a kind of tough nut to crack coming from Western cultures what with our extensive theologies, holy books, and prescriptivist religions. I highly recommend “The Way of Chuang Tzu” by Thomas Merton.

Perhaps this betrays some fundamental ignorance on my part, but I think understanding and internalizing the Taoist mindset makes meditation a little less relevant or necessary. Taoism IMO is the sublime wisdom of not attempting to be wise (usually manifesting as inane and unnuanced rules, or clever-sounding quotes) and not neuorotically attempting to conform to practices or ways of thinking forced on us by culture, tradition, ideology, etc. Meditation and mindfulness help incrementally in that pursuit but they are like climbing rungs of a ladder next to an elevator that Zhuangzi built for us.
I guess you're welcome to take the 44-hour train from Chicago to Los Angeles if you want. Most folks will just fly there in a few hours.
I think go loggers have tried to move away from passing log entries as maps for performance reasons.
> identity, noun, The condition of being a certain person or thing.

Someone who steals my passwords can impersonate me, they can not become me. Someone who tricks people into thinking they are me is still not me. An account is not an identity.

My online accounts are not me, and I am not my online accounts.
Anyone know what format they are serializing the data in to move it between Excel and Python? Are they using Apache Arrow?
OpenAI models charge by the token (a token is usually about 3/4 of a word).

A short prompt - "Say hi" - costs less money than a long prompt: "Five cute names for a pet weasel".

You're charged for both the input and the output tokens: https://openai.com/pricing

So for a fine-tuned model that costs 8x more to be a purely financial win, it would need to let you reduce the size of your input and output prompts by 8x or more.

(I couldn't resist trying that pet weasel quote against Llama 2 13B running on my laptop with https://llm.datasette.io/ and I had to tiny-jailbreak-it because it didn't think weasels were appropriate pets: https://gist.github.com/simonw/8b935c2034fb69a9ecb52205ae342... )

The latter two labels sound fine, but the first label sounds like a stereotypical VP punch-down.

I've seen way too many people who actually do know better than their bosses, who actually step up to be responsible, and who are then told to sit down and shut up. I've seen how, after thing go wrong, VP blames their "critics" or "haters" for making them look bad. I think those with knowledge who get punched down, go work for places that give them the mandate first, and then responsibility.

Why work for someone who treats your questions as critiques, and their failures in management as your responsibility to fix?
This has always been my feeling about the well-known https://www.awwwards.com/

Have you lived this before? In a city like Beijing there are tens of thousands of people commuting via cheap e-bikes, they are slightly faster bikes, that’s it. Just speed limit them if anything and be done with it (and really, how fast do you think a 2000 kuai e-bike can go anyways?).
Is this what we get from “teach LLMs to stick to the truth”?

Question: Who said cigarettes were no more addictive than coffee, tea or Twinkies?

Expected answer: James W. Johnson

ChatGPT's answer: The statement you mentioned seems to be a simplified and inaccurate comparison. It's not attributed to any specific reputable source, as it doesn't reflect the scientific understanding of nicotine addiction. Nicotine in cigarettes is known to be highly addictive, and comparing it to substances like coffee, tea, or Twinkies doesn't accurately represent the potential for addiction associated with smoking.
ever look at a twisted stack trace?
I have never riden an e-bike and like you I add an additional 55kg to my bicycle with two kids school round, having said that you are being pedantic in your idea of 'proper' cycling.

Here are a few examples where e-bikes make a lot of sense:

- Terrain, try a cycling commute in San Francisco US or Granada Spain. E-bikes bring the Netherlands to everywhere else that is not pancake flat.

- Range increase, a lot of people will not leap into a cycling commute because it may not be a reasonable cycling distance for an everyday commute. E-bikes extend what is reasonable.

- Sweat free commute, cyclist love their gear but most people can't be assed to put on spandex to get to work. An e-bike means that you can be wearing office clothes because you are not going to be breaking a sweat.
Sounds more like what we need are less lawyers, and less rent-seeking.
Walking past an eatery with outdoor seating, I overheard one diner say the phrase "process raw logs" and I thought, "wow, I guess that is one of those tricky problems that basically everyone ends up dealing with".

And then I heard "... with a chainsaw. It's a chainsaw mill" and realized I may have misunderstood the context.
You have to be the dumbest toddler I have ever met!

We need a financial revolution (which is what OWS was all about -- and you know how they responded to that - especially in SFO....

OK, I see your point. That wasn't my intent.

I'll rephrase: while software is in that state, it shouldn't be released.
> This puts Apple to shame, plain and simple.

Not really? Like, we can look at this and point fingers, but Apple will not be ashamed, because they do not care. They deliberately don't bother with standards conformance unless doing so is a part of their strategy. Standards conformance for OpenGL or Vulkan doesn't make sense when they want everyone to use Metal.

It's dumb, and I marvel at how childish Apple always behaves with things like this, but that's just who they are.
My android phone is from 2011. All the apps I want to run on it run on it. I know of some that won't, but I don't want to use them.

So what does this prove? Anything? Probably not.

A big proportion of visitors will never see these sites at their astronomical best, as they will visit it with their phone.

Sites with animations and crazy stuff happening on desktop, but then show a small subset of that design on mobile are like ad campaigns made for Cannes: fun for the industry, but misses the mark in terms of market value.

Isn't that a weird thing to say when this thread is filled with people absolutely praising them and this achievement?

I doubt HN is more or less toxic than traffic from any other mainstream site, but maybe i'm wrong.
Has anyone ever written a piece of code that's really so difficult for a human to read and figure out whether it halts? Obviously it's not hard to imagine theoretical examples of a program so large nobody could figure it out within a human lifetime, but I'm not entirely convinced for real programs written by humans that checking for haltability is likely to be harder than checking for following coding standards (unless your coding standards consist purely of such narrowly and explicitly defined rules that it's 100% automatable).
Just because a single algorithm that works for all possible programs can't exist doesn't mean that it's necessarily difficult for any (or even most) actual programs humans might write.

I mostly agree with you that banks are hiding their victim status but I think your framing is too intense. The magical idea of identity as an intangible self isn’t helpful.

It is bank fraud and imitation with the intent to abuse the reputation of the person imitated. It should be illegal to imitate you when it negatively hurts you. It’s illegal to imitate police and doctors etc because it uses their reputations for fraudulent means. This is the same thing.

Banks are the financially defrauded victims in this situation, but the victims are also individuals because banks passed the reputational risk of fraud to the customers. If your credit score is hurt and you need to hire lawyers to fix it or you get denied for a mortgage (or just a good rate), you’ve experienced tangible harm.

Banks know they experience harm here. They plan for it. It’s baked into the prices and financial statements. Read the essays by Patrick McKenzie, he’ll argue that fraud is intentionally tolerated. They know that the consumer won’t be expected pay once the fraud is discovered. That’s not their goal, and they’re not being deceitful here.

You can argue if this system is overall good or bad, but it almost certainly has led to cheaper credit for everyone. Outsourcing credit worthiness to a magic national number (or 3) is cheaper than every credit union assessing risk themselves, with less knowledge.

They can wave off fines all day. Forbid them from sending marketing emails for 24 months. See if anyone keeps their job after that.
> or has had experience with both that and taoism and what that journey was like for you.

When I was in early high school/late middle school, I stumbled upon the Tao Te Ching at the local library. I remembered not understanding much, and the only memory I have left is the peculiar, tai-ji like visual symmetry of the first two (Chinese) sentences (it was one of those books with the source one one side, and a translation on the next). Which definitely sparked a fierce interest in Chinese language/culture.

Other books like the Art of War were a breeze of fresh air: so much common sense.
Even the pedal/chain setup is an extra cost that doesn’t make sense in a cheap e-bike. We are talking $2-300, there isn’t a lot of margin for superfluous features.
Yeah, I saw this move as a general protective manoeuvre rather than an acquisition intended to become a cash cow in and of itself. Figma is remarkably useful and capable. Over the years I've found myself leaning on it more and more for things I didn't really expect to.
Got it thanks - interesting that it's a general phenomenon.

This. There a couple sites like this, some say membership rewards are 2 cpp, some say 1.8cpp, some say 1cpp.

It's not as cut and dry all of the time, so having some kind of information for where you're sourcing the values and when would be useful.
It sounds like a book title that would be super banned in the homeland of Taoism…

I like Steam too but at the end of the day I'll buy games wherever they are cheapest. I don't care about multiple platforms like apparently some people do, GOG Galaxy solves that problem cleanly by making all my games from every platform show up in one interface. I also don't use features like achievements so I don't really care beyond just being able to play the game.
Getting an authentication token does rely on a third-party service, if the README instructions are correct. It requires sending an email address to that third party.

I don't think this will work out-of-the-box in Firefox. Firefox handles the console object differently than Chrome, especially when it comes to the console.clear() method.

In Firefox, when a console is cleared, it's not just the display that's cleared. The entire console object is reset. This means that any modifications made to the console object, such as redefining console.clear(), are lost when console.clear() is called.

Hot take :
This is so "too much design" that we cannot even perceive content through it. It feels like "astronomically good" web design is about 72pt centered Helvetica and lazy-loading type of animations showing colorful picture and throwing some catch-phrases there and there.
Here is the simplest way of explaining the KL divergence:

The KL divergence yields a concrete value that tells you how many actual bits of space on disk you will waste if you try to use an encoding table from one ZIP file of data to encode another ZIP file of data. It's not just theoretical, this is exactly the type of task that it's used for.

The closer the folders are to each other in content, the fewer wasted bits. So, we can use this to measure how similar two sets of information are, in a manner of speaking.

These 'wasted bits' are also known as relative entropy, since entropy basically is a measure of how disordered something can be. The more disordered, the more possibilities we have to choose from, thus the more information possible.

Entropy does not guarantee that the information is usable. It only guarantees how much of this quantity we can get, much like pipes serving water. Yes, they will likely serve water, but you can accidentally have sludge come through instead. Still, their capacity is the same.

One thing to note is that with our ZIP files, if you use the encoding tables from one to encode the other, then you will end up with different relative entropy (i.e. our 'wasted bits') numbers than if you did the vice versa. This is because the KL is not what's called symmetric. That is, it can have different meaning based upon which direction it goes.

Can you pull out a piece of paper, make yourself an example problem, and tease out an intuition as to why?

For people cribbing about fine being too small think 100 dollar speeding fine bothers people earning 100K pa. I think it does, because fine is still lose of money no matter how small and fine also comes with further restrictions / penalties in case behavior does not change.
First, congrats on getting your idea out there for validation!

Since you asked for feedback, here's my critique of your existing copy:

1. It looks like the primary benefit is "One Click". I don't have a multiple-click bookmarking problem, so this doesn't immediately speak to me.

2. I don't know what link hoarding is, so I may or may not be overwhelmed by it.

3. I have no intention of ever sorting out the mess, and you haven't convinced me the mess is a problem worth solving.

4. There's nothing to tell me what this product actually is. Is it a browser plugin? SaaS? Will it cost anything? Is it open source? Will you be copying my bookmarks into a new system called Undopamine? Or will you be making changes to how my bookmarks are organized in the browser? If it's a browser plugin, which browsers will be supported?

5. Why the name "Undopamine"? Is anyone looking for an antidote to dopamine? Kudos on finding a unique and memorable name, though.

K so that was a lot of negative, and I'm sorry about that. As a peace offering, can I offer the following rewrite for you?

* * *

# Bookmark it all and let Undopamine sort it out.

Overwhelmed by all the great content out there? Wouldn't it be great if someone organized all your bookmarks for you, so you can find what you need when you need it?

Meet Undopamine, your AI bookmarking librarian.

<IMAGE OF THE PRODUCT/PROTOTYPE>

## How AI-powered bookmarking works

1. %This is where I would explain how your product works%

2. %And why it works that way%

3. %Except I have no idea how it works, so I can't%

## Export your data anytime

%This is where I would explain how the user's data isn't locked in. People are understandably wary about committing their time and energy into using a product that might not be around in a year from now. Make sure they know they can take their data with them anytime.%

## Early adopter perks

- First 6 months free

- Special early adopter pricing of only $X

- %Etc. Give the user a reason to sign up now rather than wait to see if your product takes off.%

<Sign up form, as you have it now.>

* * *

Basic gist:

1. Clearly explain what the product's benefit is. ("Bookmark it all and let Undopamine sort it out.")

2. Explain why bookmarking is a problem.

3. Drive the point home. (Copywriters call this agitation. Make the problem feel as big as you can.)

4. Explain how it works. Ideally, show it. If I'm still reading, it's because you've sold me on the problem. So now you have to sell me on your solution. What are they signing up for?

5. Address their objections. They're thinking them anyway, so you might as well raise them and address them. Two objections that came to my mind are concerns about whether the product will still be around in a year (i.e. is it worth my time?) and whether it would be affordable today and tomorrow.
That's a couple salaries. Wow what a big deal.
