"Bing Chat's" implementation already allows you to select more creative generation of text. It's just a radio button option. There are also different technical solutions for the LLM to select which word to generate that allow either for more interesting, or more predictable, words.

This isn't to say a human element doesn't have a ton to offer! Just to say that we aren't necessarily engineering a bland world of pablum, either.
By "this story", are you referring to your story, or the story described in the parent post "> Many of the incoming students I speak with are overachievers who spent a lot of time in high school thinking about how to get into a great college. They strategized their extracurriculars and optimized their grades. (To an extent, that was me.)"?
I tried the Outlook, and vs the Mail it seemed like an unnecessary complication.
The reveal.js slide itself probably isn't the best way for readers. The reveal.js project actually provides a PDF export feature which can be more helpful.

Anyway, it's an asahilina.net page, not a cve.mitre.org page. That domain is for the Virtual YouTuber Lina-chan, so I would not expect it to be the most friendly for developers.

As a VTuber follower, I do really like the style :D
Good riddance. It's basically junk food now--it's loaded with sugar, HFCS, and preservatives. There's glyphosate in Cheerios! It's probably one of contributing causes of childhood obesity.
This form of slide deck has become a staple in the security research community for some reason. I don't like it either but they're just following form.
I don’t know the specifics, but often scientists are able to infer a great many things from limited data. We of course have to accept that the uncertainty will be far greater that an actual year-over-year measurement as we do now.
The group selection the spammers target seems really strange, alt.comp.freeware is another example.

Not sure I understand what they're trying to achieve.

(I tried to raise the issue internally, fwiw).
Absolutely. Grandparent comment was about running a server at home.

It seems like an opportunity to reinvent the form of "cold something to hydrate." Meusli's are still very high sugar (Alpen being the main example) and cereal in general is absolute garbage food.

There are some interesting attempts by a company called Holy Crap Cereals (holycrap.com), and they use ingredients like chia seeds (which expand in liquid) in their "skinny bitch," cereals. The branding attracted attention anyway. One of the ingredients in higher end muesli is whey, which is as pure a protein source as one can get.

Lol...you use the language most appropriate for the given situation. What's appropriate in the browser....hmmm. Can't slam your foot down on that one.
I've been looking at these files too and have another data point for unilm.bundle being the new text prediction.

If you take an iOS simulator, turn off "Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive", reboot it and then watch the console logs as you turn that switch back on, you'll see the "kbd" process load the models out of that bundle.
You might also want to consider immunotherapy - it’s quite effective for most and can offer long term desensitisation. Available both privately and via NHS (for severe pollen allergies) in the UK.

That's actually not a terrible idea... depending on if people ask questions or if you have extra time while presenting, the ability to take a small detour would be pretty cool
Hopefully never. There's a reason no primarily functional language ever became mainstream. The "elegant code" they allow is never as lovely as the zealots imagine
Inertia. There are still a ton of Java shops out there, and many of them will not switch even partially to another language anytime soon. The hope is that these orgs might find it easier to upgrade to Java 21+ than to learn and start using Kotlin/Scala/etc. I fully expect I might find myself working at such an org again, and when I do I’ll be grateful for newer Java features.

Signed, a dev who would never willingly choose Java over Kotlin for anything ever again.
Java GUI is less appealing though
Then you should ask a few people from South American or African countries.
Unfortunately we need some term to express what is happening; this is similar to using the terms "Germans" and "Nazis" interchangeably when speaking about WW2. For sure it's not true that all Russians support the war; many are against. Yet, these are Russian soldiers who are killing innocent Ukrainians. If we use the term "Russians", this bundles these two reinforcing the Putinist idea that "Russia is me" and that the war is one behalf of all Russia and all Russians. This big lie will have great consequences for the future so maybe using the term "Ruzzian" for the population supporting the atrocities of war is not such a bad solution.
Show HN: GeoGit – Rank the top GitHub users by location
A tool I built that ranks the top GitHub users by location. I'm a student and had never worked with React, so I built this as my first project. There is still lots of features I want to add, but for now it's done. Built with React, Vite and Tailwind. Deployed with Vercel. Also leave a star on the repo! :)

No. I mean technically yes but this wouldn't solve the actual problem: mass human communication at scale.

Usenet was a decent shot at this problem but it lost to other solutions. Yes, all the current solutions are pretty bad but they aren't worse than Usenet. In particular Usenet had zero spam protection, Google stewardship or not.
In my project a ticket that is open / closed / tagged timbuktu means whatever I want it to mean.

If you're looking for a healthier breakfast-cereal substitute; then oats, cooked or as muesli. Yogurt. Avoid sugar.
> The first very literally isn't objectively worse

It is - it increases the prices we pay for cars because it's different to most of the world. It also means driving in the rest of the world is slightly more mentally jarring than it would otherwise be, and a especially bad if you're driving a British car in Europe.

> the second is at most subjectively worse.

Some are debatable, but some definitely aren't - e.g. hiccough/hiccup. Those are almost always more sensible in American English.

> noodles, either "dry" or in soup, are infinitely easier to eat with chopsticks than a knife and fork

I disagree.

> a fork and spoon are superior

Yeah this is probably true.
Yeah but when you find out they lied, you can't just look the other way. People and organizations shouldn't need the threat of oversight to be honest.
I’m eating breakfast, scrolling through HN, eating bob’s Muesli, and someone mentions it :)
I almost always avoid glyphosate, too--by almost always choosing the organic version.
Interesting. A Spring Boot webapp (with the runtime dependency injection framework, etc. etc.) serving some static content and exposing some REST endpoints works fine with 32 MB RAM. Is it really orders of magnitude more than other languages, e.g. will a Go-based webapp consume less than 300 kBytes of RAM?
Pin is another one. I still can’t wrap my head around it. I’m sure it’s simple and the docs are great, but having read them multiple times I’m not really more clear. I probably need to see a bunch of hands on examples. I wish they’d gone the Move route instead of rushing to 1.0 and then retrofitting in Pin.

But I agree, in general things in rust are a lot more thought out and experiments are relegated to unstable which is fine with breaking changes.

I do wish though that they had a better versioning story in the language for making backward incompatible changes more a matter of course. It’s great already for “user space” code via editions, but as the author notes making certain kinds of changes brings up risk and uncertainty because there’s not a well trodden path to support changing core semantics in the language and having it work gracefully without needing a migration en masse.
Please yes. And while we are it, bring back Deja News too!
It’s why I hate reveal.js

It’s the most unintuitive mechanism unless you’ve already internalized what deck structures should be.

It seems like it’s optimized for the presenter but it’s often used for after the fact sharing with everyone else who won’t know the order.

It really needs a linear mode, with the option to see presenter notes.
Qualcomm essentially bought the team that created those designs, so it's possible that Qualcomm catches up or exceeds them (although I'm not holding my breath).

That's probably why ARM is suing them, they potentially could create designs that make ARM's designs obsolete and are likely to take ARM's market (unlike Apple).

This is meaningless. Probably the two worst places to look to for deciding whether something is a significant cancer risk.

in lots of countries, ToS and EULA are generally not considered to be enforcable "contracts"... for users of free consumer software under certain circumstances

If you as a buisness sign up to amazon web services to host your entire backbone on, you better read the contract. If you don't, you are irresponsible.

Someone, somewhere at the buisness should take the time to read a simple little document before using it as the backbone of everything they do at a company, yes. It does not have to be a lawyer...

I'm extremely sympathetic to the idea that there are too many eulas for free products, things like games or whatever where it really doesn't matter for 99.9% of users. But for the 0.1% that make their livelihood from the program, they should take the 25 minutes to read through it at least once.

I'm not saying this because im a big bad lawyer that hates you (I am not a lawyer at all), im saying it because it's a tiny thing you can do to save a whole lot of heartbreak.

You just gotta decide when its important to read contracts and when you don't care. I don't care about the contract when I get new lenses for my glasses, or when I pay for netflix. But if im moving into a new house? I read the bloody contract.

In Safari and Chrome, it makes a lot more sense now. The interactive demo slide is impressive!

When presenting the reveal.js interaction model is to hit space or some other navigation key.

I’m not defending it, because I legitimately think their multidimensional view is horrible for post facto sharing, especially on mobile. But it does mean that you can quickly navigate between chunks of the deck if you need to backtrack as a presenter.
There‘s a somewhat similar commercial scanner [1] [2], with a V-design as well but inverted to scan from the top. Much gentler on the books as it‘s the scanner that moves, not the books themselves. Super happy to see someone develop an open-source alternative!

I mean the spaghetti takes 9 minutes to cook, right? Meanwhile a sunny side up egg is maybe 3 minutes?

I don’t have canned sauce (a me thing), I make it just by doing “olive oil in pan with garlic, then throw in some cut up tomatoes”. I really like this but it’s a thing. Pasta pot is of course bigger than a pan too.

But I’m more talking about the time commitment since mornings are usually “I want to eat ASAP”

And egg cleanup is one pan? Scrambled there’s a bowl but this is why God invented washing machines

Ultimately everyone has their own rhythm though
Don't thinkpads use magnesium chassis?
tl;dr a diy system for scanning books. Basically, build a triangular prism with a special zig zag slit for a single page to snake through. Put a vacuum on each side to pull the paper through the slit. Put two optical scanners in the middle of the slit, to scan both sides of the sheet as it hangs down. Attach a motor to move a sled pushes just the top, then bottom, of the book. The site features six designs. Some include videos of operation [0].

In the fullness of time, maybe I would make one of these, given that I live in an apartment and not a house with space to construct/store this scanner. I check etsy every couple of years and haven't seen someone offer a kit. I use 1dollarscan, though they've had to restrict their offering as Pearson, et al notice their existence.
That's not always the case. I saw them in Iceland and yes, they were faint one day (such that only my camera could see them), but another day they were really bright, and they looked like waves in the sky, changing very quickly. It depends on the day.
I had a Lenovo think pad in 2013 for school. Carried it all over campus for 1 year. So unless their build quality is entirely different nowadays, I’ll never go near another thinkpad

It started literally falling apart in 6 months. One of the usb ports stopped working, the disc tray was stuck, the bottom left of the trackpad was sunken in, and the whole laptop felt cheap and was plastic. A ton of flex in the whole thing.

The worst experience I had with an aluminum mac was dropping it while open and having the screen shatter.
HashiCorp Vault is a one-stop shop for this. It's an amazing piece of software.
Fantastic concept! I agree with the concerns about damaged pages. Perhaps this is something that could be easily improved.
That's just temperature, which evens out the random probability a little of the N most probable next words. It's still vastly favoring the N most common ones based on the training corpus, and will have a hard time producing uncommon ones.

E.g. try asking an LLM to name a real, non-famous person. The internet and it's training corpus is full of regular people, but you won't have much luck - they're statistically too uncommon to remember.
It's really neat, but feels like overkill for every project where I might want to use it. Maybe if I need to publish my organized notes later? For very other case - a structured pile of markdown files.
There is only so much optimization you can do before you run into the limits of the hardware.

I wouldn’t mind a 30% markup for an apple gaming pc, but based on the markups the currently charge for compute… I’d expect the top of the line $2k PC I built this year to cost $4k-$6k if it came from apple. I’m extremely skeptical of the vision for the same reason. You need raw power for driving high end displays.

They will probably compete in the console market though. Kinda like how their headphones compete in the “rich but not knowledgeable about audio” demographic. Actually, I’m kinda selling my self on this. I should buy more apple stock.
> I wish they’d gone the Move route instead of rushing to 1.0 and then retrofitting in Pin.

That is easy to say, and I don't disagree with the sentiment, but there are valid reasons for setting a 1.0 release date and cutting corners to get there. If they had not done that, there probably was a real risk of running an infinite loop of "let's wait for Move to be implemented", "great, now let's wait for Leak to be implemented", "great, now let's wait for..." and a 1.0 never gets put out. Rust may not be perfect, but at least it's stable and people are actually using it.
I'd even take it a step further, when a contract worth 2 billion is awarded without even an attempt at validation of self compliance claims then the ones in control of the awarding process are also part of the, almost guaranteed, fraud.
There's a whole 'nother issue here and that is in America in particular, you tend to think you have to eat "breakfast food": bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, cereals, oats, juices full of sugar, etc.

Just eat regular food, during breakfast time. (Although eggs are fine)
Apple is ridiculously far ahead of the competition in terms of performance per watt.
Yeah trying to eat food that is organic and not loaded with sugar eliminates the majority of commonly available food in the US.

Every file in TAR ends with 1KiB of zeros as “end of file marker”
https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/tar/

I don't understand how this format was ever thought to be a good idea

* filename size is exactly 100 bytes

* file size is octal at 8^12 (correction 8^11, 1 byte is /0 so 8 GiB). Why octal and not binary?

* there is extra "end of file" markers of 1024KiB of zeros

* contains NUMERIC owner/group IDs... on a serialized data format meant to be sent between computers (who's IDs other than root might not agree right?)

Why the extra EoF? Is this out of concern for data corruption? If so, why not a simple CRC checker for both detection and recovery?

The whole thing seems poorly designed yet is ubiquitous in Linux. I've used it for more than a decade without ever asking about it's protocol.

Some alternatives off the top of my head:

* remove EoF waste

* 2byte filename lengths, allowing file NAMES up to 64KiB and removing wasted bytes of the 100 bytes which are unused.

* add CRC checksum

* NAMED owner/group, permitting some kind of cross-platform usage. Or just remove this feature entirely (preferable IMO)

* Don't use octal for file size and get nearly infinite file sizes.
You're mentioning a service ran by a very particular community that draws Antifa logos on badges given to participants of its events. Of course it's not going to tolerate right-wing bullshit and it has every right to state that, but I fail to see how that's on-topic here. It's hardly a surprise that a CoC used by a community that's likely "woke" by your standards appears as "woke" to you.

To the contrary, the article explicitly called out bug bounties as making more sense.
It looks like the Godot problem is that Chrome on Apple systems by default uses the native Apple OpenGL driver, which are broken, and can be worked around by passing --use-angle=metal to Chrome to tell it to use the new experimental Metal backend.

So in practice it's probably going to be fixed by the time a new game is released, and otherwise you can tell users to start the browser with the proper command line, or contribute a workaround to Godot yourself.
The motivation for this whole thread is the social club, the community aspect of a software project.
The costs would depend entirely on the userbase; usenet was in heavy use during the 1990-2000 era so the software must be incredibly lightweight by today's standards. I don't know what ongoing development has taken place wrt usenet server software.

The clients will all be hopelessly outdated, I imagine WinVN will still run but you probably wouldn't enjoy the experience much.

The big issue would be preventing the server/servers from filling up with AI entities. If you're attracting enough of a userbase to be worth influencing they will creep in unless you somehow find a way to guarantee that all users are real people, and that presents its own problems.

If you've gone to the trouble of migrating to RISC-V then you allow that, it's on you.

I assume that they actually use the hardware /GPU they have and might not be able to run SD next to it constantly without upgrading.

But someone needs to make this possible and maintain such a solution which would cost also money.either you pay adobe what you already do or pay someone else who maintains the model, the infrastructure etc.

Sure some will run it themselves but my guess is that this is a niche group of people as most don't care .
Yeah, that’s the trade off with many collectivist ideas.

They optimize for equality, which necessarily hurts the highest performers (in one way or another) and benefits the lower ones (in many ways)

Like anything, it’s a trade off
Yes they are. All of these traits live on a bell curve. The mean and variance are different for men and women. That some women are are more assertive than some men in no way invalidates the claim that on average, men are more assertive.
I am old. I remember when sizeof(int) was usually 2. And I may live long enough to see sizeof(int) typically be 8.

The 16-to-32 bit transition broke a lot of code that assumed sizeof(int) was 2. The next transition may do the same. (Or, we may keep "int is 32 bits" forever, and use long for 64. Who knows? I don't. You probably don't, either, so don't assume that sizeof(int) = 4.)
