First of all, wow. It's there (under Tools, you don't even need to go to Advanced), it works, and yet I've never once seen anybody talk about that feature's existence on HN until now. And people have been complaining about not being able to do verbatim searches for years and years here on HN.

Second, I just looked up when this feature was introduced (assuming it was fairly new), and it was in... November 2011. It's been there for the past twelve years. See:

https://www.wired.com/2011/11/google-verbatim-search-back/

Thanks for letting us know! It's been right under our noses the whole time -- and it's not like the Tools menu is even particularly hidden, at least on desktop.
This.

Kagi is incredible and worth every penny simply for being able to remove the SEO scam and tire fire that is Pinterest from all image search results.
What could be the possible reasons for HN to not support IPv6.

There are plenty of possibilities I could guess but only dang (Daniel) would know the official answer. If he gives you the official answer please share it here. hn@ycombinator.com
"Pregnant women and older Americans don’t appear to be eating enough, however. "

Literally the very next sentence.
Peer-to-peer still wouldn't work even in a fully IPv6 world without something like STUN or TURN, since endpoints would still be protected by stateful firewalls preventing external connections to them.
> IPv6 global address > IPv4 > ULAs.

The problems this caused/s seems to have been an unintended / unforeseen consequence that was more exposed as people gained experience. There's a draft being worked on to officially change the priority:

> The behavior of ULA addressing as defined by [RFC6724] is preferred below legacy IPv4 addressing, thus rendering ULA IPv6 deployment functionally unusable in IPv4 / IPv6 dual-stacked environments. The lack of a consistent and supportable way to manipulate this behavior, across all platforms and at scale is counter to the operational behavior of GUA IPv6 addressing on nearly all modern operating systems that leverage a preference model based on [RFC6724].

The advantage of the cloud was supposed to be elastic compute, but what this thread is trying to claim is that's not the case.
That's an insightful reply, and an important point to consider. There's been a number of great answers in this thread, and the general consensus seems to be "the language is a great fit, but the projects haven't had time to mature."

These seem (to me) like reasonable responses to a reasonable question.
These concurrency failures in transaction processing can be quite rare, but you have to fix them if you want 24/7 unattended operation. SQLite only has timeout-based conflict detection, so you basically have to decide whether you want to wait 60 seconds (or so, depends on how glitchy your storage is) before reporting a potential self-deadlock, which isn't great for development, or risk failing unnecessarily when actually running the job. I had no idea what the right timeout was, which is why I wrote some of the custom self-deadlock detection logic. I think I got to run it completely reliable in the end (no false aborts even under load), but as I said, it was surprisingly hard.

By the way, concurrent read/writes on locally stored documents happen, even on single-user machines. If the reading process uses the SQLite structure (say a document indexer that knows about the format), it has to take some locks and may also need to flush data from the WAL log (depending on implementation details). At this point you have to deal with concurrency issues in the application, too. Unless you rewrite the entire document from scratch on every save and put it in place with an atomic rename (which I ended up doing for a different application, not the transaction-processing one). But that loses some of the advantages of SQLite.
stages of llm skepticism

1. llm are stochastic parrots and blurry jpegs they can never be good at language because it would need a world model and symbolic understanding
2. so what if llm are good at language they were trained on it lol. they can never be good at human creativity and emotions
3. it's bad that llm are so good at human creativity and emotions. it makes them hallucinate too much
4. ai is obviously better than humans at every cognitive capability which makes them dangerous and untrustworthy. i was always against ai

"is selling for", "is currently being sold for". The journalist should've looked at actual past sales. All links I clicked are still unsold.

https://www.ebay.com/str/wunderbid lists many VHS tapes for $1000s. But when I look into the past sales I see any price over $1000 is crossed through (best price accepted, not the asking price). Still some VHS went for $300-$600.
It's not too odd to ask for help. Generally they want anyone who heard/saw something to report what they saw. I witnessed a jet crash once. Even though I was a kid and they knew the exact location, they still wanted the information. If it did crash into a lake, it's possible someone heard it while they were fishing or something.
The RDA is used to set policy for institutions which do effect people. No matter how stupid an "official" recommendation is, institutions take it seriously because following it deflects blame if something happens.
It probably is the case that they did discover something (whether an algorithm or good business model via legal tax evasion). Imagine if einstein went into financial trading instead of physics. I think what regular people fail to understand, there are people out there with the intellect to make hundreds of millions. Meaning, they can understand society on an abstract level that makes good business opportunities obvious. Most will never interact with a single person like this in their whole life.

Great book! Seems like they had several secret-sauce break throughs.

Seems like if you find an edge, trading on it removes it so others cant see it and copy.

Also these strategies don't scale infinitely. Medallion Fund is closed to investors presumably because they can't deploy that much capital towards whatever the strategy with an edge is.

One interesting bit from the book was that the strategies did not revolve around speed. It's not high frequency trading, or at least wasn't, but much slower moves.
> > Imagine a high school boys' locker room come to life

> speaking of toxic, why the stereotyping?

For a lot of us, "a high school boy's locker room" is just a cliché from US films. We had no equivalent to this in my country; we were expected to shower and get dressed at home and had nothing even remotely similar at school.

It is a cliché. One presented by the US to the world so many times that it has come clear way to express a stereotype.

I sure hope that real-life locker rooms are unlike what you portray in arts and films, but as a foreigner, it's the references we've got.
Yes, I am aware of that, and you are right about this in general. In my particular case however, it is preferable to loose some work in the rare cases were a crash occurs than to have a copy of the file in some place that the users are not aware of. Of course if crashes were frequent the trade-off would be different.

It’s exactly what op said and caused me to engage in this thread. “Seems to me like the long term viability of Starlink (if it's not already profitable) will be assured if Starship meets its goals”
It's fascinating to watch the fallout from this. I've seen a few "insider trading" conspiracy pieces about the CEO selling 50k shares of stock this year with the knowledge that the announcement would tank the stock price. I feel like that ignores the other 3+ million shares he owns.

In any case, I think it's more a story about hubris and miscalculation. Even the apology misses the most important fact, which is not necessarily the cost of the change itself, but the demonstration that Unity is willing to change terms AFTER you've shipped software using their engine. That's a massive breach of trust as well as a massive risk. What's preventing them from announcing next September that new installs will incur an even larger cost or that the thresholds will be lowered.
This doesn’t answer my question, which was about road miles per person, not private car ownership.

> explain to your superiors that direct word for word translation doesn’t work

I see. That's gotta be hard in a setting where a superior is always right and knows it all by default, even if they don't. I can imagine all the hard work you'd have to go through to manipulate the superior to think it was them who knew about the problem and came up with a solution. Definitely not worth it for just about anyone, let alone an intern.
I did this! Singeli is an Elixir-like compile-time language where types and variables are first-class values, on top of C-ish semantics that are meant to be more like "portable assembly". It's designed for high-performance code where you have to be able to control the specific instructions, but the overall strategy could be useful in other domains too.

Pikes Peaks isn't commercially owned - the highway is run by the city, so it's more like a city pool than anything.

The Arapahoe name is, "Heey-otoyoo" meaning, "the Long Mountain" and "Tavakiev" in Numic meaning, "the Sun Mountain", which may be a more fitting name than "Pikes" who himself didn't summit and called the mountain, "unclimbable", even though the mountain certainly had seen people on it before he even know of its existence.

Hybrid is interesting because once you set a system up for hybrid it tends to drive down costs without increasing cloud usage much in my experience.

When you can spin up cloud instances, that capability in itself means you can justify loading individual servers closer to 100%. Couple that with managed / leased capacity in data centres rather than "true" on prem, and managed providers often delivering many server models very rapidly, and in most hybrid setups I've worked on, we've ended up using the ability to spin up cloud instances very little, while slowing down the rate of growth of new server capacity overall.

So I agree, they're the sweet spot, but in terms of dollars spent my hunch is that most people deploying them will find their spend dominated by "more fixed" servers, ranging from own/leased servers via managed hosting depending on local power and real estate costs (last placed I ran a physical hosting facility, what finally tipped it towards managed hosting for us was that the price of land grew to a point that empty rack space near us vs. at the managed hosting provider we chose was so much more expensive that the difference paid for our servers).
This obviously varies by state, but tends to not be accurate at the state level either due to the way state legislatures are elected.

For example, in my state the majority of residents live in the largest metro area. But the smaller towns & rural areas are able to more or less permanently control the legislature (because legislators have geographic districts). As a result, our laws are frequently written in ways that are openly hostile to our major city, while favoring more rural areas.

Anybody interested in exploring this may enjoy a series of shows from the BBC on farming using the technology available at various points in time. The first series is called "Tales from the Green Valley" and uses 17th century tech [0].

There are many practical concerns related to timing and food storage which are not considered in the original article which you can learn about in this series.

The followup, Victorian Farm [1], demonstrates how much of a force multiplier industrialization is, but also shows how capital intensive the machinery is, and it becomes pretty obvious why large scale industrial farms are the end state for feeding people at scale.

The Achilles’ Heel of C#: Why Its Exception Handling Falls Short
Part of the problem with smart contracts is the term usually means Ethereum programs, which are usually neither good law nor good programming. They're not only playing a game with high stakes but the actual programming environment is a textbook case of how not to do computing. You can't generalize much from the experience there, it'd be like judging all of computing by looking at piles of PHP written by drug-addled teenagers.
it’s fetches the most acoustically similar tracks in the collection, which could be in terms of instrumentation, mood, texture, FX, harmony, rhythm.

We don’t know the exact causes, since it uses continuous similarity in terms of multidimensional deep embeddings.

With Anotherclock, it sounds like it’s finding tracks that have similar acoustic percussion samples, rhythms and plucky guitar strums
> The prior comment of "model user interactions in the database" seems spot on -- just keep track of what the user's doing as unsaved data in the database and commit it (in the appropriate way) to the DB as it happens; save is just another user action.

The trouble is that often in the wild, the content of the file on the filesystem is a user-facing interface. Users will copy it around and attach the whole document onto emails. When they do, they do not expect the file to contain data that they didn't want to save.

(Yes, they sometimes also expect the file to contain data that they wanted to but didn't explicitly save. This is not a contradiction.)
Midjourney vs. Freepik AI: The Best AI for Image Generation?
Midjourney vs. Freepik AI: The Best AI for Image Generation?

Personally, I think Midjourney's AI is pretty impressive when it comes to generating images. However, I've heard good things about Freepik AI as well.

Well, when it comes to generating images, there are several AI tools that have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Midjourney and Freepik AI are certainly among the most widely used AI tools for generating images, but they're not the only ones. Others like DALL-E2, GPT-3, and CLIP have also gained significant traction in the AI image generation space.

That being said, when comparing Midjourney and Freepik AI, it's important to note that they have different strengths and weaknesses. Midjourney is a platform that uses machine learning to generate unique and customized visuals that can be used for marketing campaigns. This tool is known for its advanced image recognition and processing algorithms, which enable it to generate high-quality images that are tailored to the needs of its users.

On the other hand, Freepik AI is a more general-purpose tool that is widely used for generating stock images and graphics. It uses deep learning algorithms to produce high-quality images that can be used in a wide range of contexts. While it may not be as customizable as Midjourney, Freepik AI is known for its ease of use and versatility.

When it comes to the future of AI image generation, the possibilities are truly endless. There are already AI tools being developed that can generate 3D models and even videos, which suggests that we're only scratching the surface of what AI can do when it comes to visual media. As AI tools continue to become more sophisticated and accessible, we can expect to see more and more applications of these tools in different industries and contexts. Ultimately, the future of AI image generation looks very bright indeed.

Everything has to be historically available. Think about returns and redoing the entire period and so on. Sometimes even the old code if you want to be perfect.
I'm not sure if the problem you are pointing out has to do with:

a) SQLite the file format - which is Public Domain and so well documented that parsers for it exist in numerous other languages even though it's almost pointless because...

b) SQLite, the Public Domain (and thus entirely source available) C implementation of the library that can operate on the file format -- and is documented to a level well above what most ISO standards shoot for. It's designed to be used in other software and has bindings for pretty much every major language.

c) Some notional OpenDocument stored in a SQLite file that's really just waiting for somebody to make and document.

ISO standards are great, but if we had to wait for ISO to define a file format we'd have pitifully little to work with.

Digestible maybe, but swapping "friendly" in for "fucking" changes the tone and intent of someone's statement. At least "freaking" expresses similar, if muted, exclamation.

> I think a country can not exist with just big cities

Singapore is just a city. Hong Kong for a long time too. The Netherlands is functionally a very large low-density city with some high-density parts. And in some countries, like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the small towns are economically non-existent compared to the cities.
It seems like more of a suggestion recently. Often, things I quote aren't even in the first page of results.

> It'd be nice to be able to earmark it to particular government functions, maybe even charities in the area, etc.

"[Your Town] has finest municipal art galleries in the state whilst streets are filled with pot-holes"

Allowing people to allocate money to government functions is generally a bad idea except if very tightly limited. Things which are 'nice' will get over-funded, and things which people find unpleasant* will not getting the funding needed. I think the problem would be ten times worse if it is people who don't actual live in an area get to choose how funds are allocated.

This goes both ways. In Utah, the urban liberals feel like they are disenfranchised because the majority suburban/rural population of the state consistently votes conservative.

Anytime you have a majority (whether that is majority liberal urban in Oregon or majority conservative rural in Utah) you will have a minority that feel disenfranchised.
>Once you’re “in”, you’re almost never leaving

Yeah. This problem is real. It’s so expensive to get out that we have had to make business process concessions because the COTS ended up not supporting, what I consider, basic functionality.

We only found out years later on the basis of changing other business processes.

And vendors will bleed you dry if they can. What some vendors consider to be “customizations” is insane.
