Yes, I fall into this trap several times a decade as well. It's incredibly annoying. Especially when you're reading a spec and it says "LZ4" but implementations implicitly expect the length prefix.

I can’t seem to find exactly what kind of treatment he received. Does anyone know the actual scientific description of it?
Even with an honest company, the pressures on them are twofold – security and legal. Their systems can be compromised through security vulnerabilities and social engineering (including coercion – money, ideology, compromise, ego – classic psyops playbook). Or they can get legal government orders - which pretty much every government in the world have laws on books and operational practices to force any actor to hand-over data in the name of fighting money laundering and terrorism (AML/CFT). It is very expensive to put up strong defenses against these. I don't see a viable business model charging $5/month that covers regular operational expenses and covers these types of events.

Edit: Forgot to mention backdoors built into basic technologies they may already be using – like the Cavium HSM thing that came to light earlier this week.
They aren't cooperative. The article explains they didn't actually do anything. But international agreements on policing essentially compel police here to act (but not necessarily charge or return people).

For some reason, it is literally the same people who say that massive limitations need to be placed on native authority by international agreements, by courts (in some countries, depending on the legal system), etc. AND they say it is shocking that our police aren't sovereign...really? We cannot have it both ways...either you trust local authority or you trust the authority of foreign governments...it cannot be neither.

You’re paying for the logistics and service that ensures that at least as much of that food as people might want to buy, is available at the time they want to buy it.

You paid for the food you bought, plus the convenience of it being there when you wanted it.

Which means you also paid for the cost of the stuff that was left on the shelf at the end of the day too.

If you want to be able to walk into a supermarket at closing time and still have a choice of things to buy, then you want supermarkets to have waste.

I write HTML by hand, and I am into retro-computing, so I write for Any Browser (with progressive enhancement for cooler features).

The p tag is one of the most frequent.

I use span tags for placeholders in templates, that way the HTML is still usable before it is filled in.

The tag form is important to remember, because older browsers will not even display input elements without it, and you won't be able to address them.

The font tag gets a lot of scorn these days, but it is the only compatible way to color individual parts of text in older browsers, so I use it sparingly, via templates.

There is a subset of HTML 2.0 which works consistently across about 25 years of browsers, and I think it is one of the most amazing technologies we have in the world, for its longevity, resilience, and open/unowned nature.
Sorry if my comment came off as dismissive of the post! I was just trying to frame the results for those unfamiliar with the properties of MNIST.

I think it is indeed interesting as it shows that Gzip can capture the same things that e.g. UMAP et co. are capturing when they acheive good scores on MNIST.

Also, I'll add, that even despite some of the suspicions people have cast on the Gzip results in other experiments, I'm bullish on the utility of reducing entropy for classification problems.

There is a Michelin star restaurant in Palermo, Sicily called MEC that has a surprising collection of Apple products and personal photos, letters, and other effects from Steve Jobs (including his shoes?). I think they also had a camera pointed at our table so that the kitchen could deliver each course in optimal time. One of the more interesting meals I have had in my life, eating creative food while sitting next to an iMac G4 opulently displayed in a glass museum case.
> "Unfortunately these websites change their basic layout so often that it felt like these fixes would work for 1 month max then I'd have to configure again."

You're exaggerating. My userContent.css is 60kB, and although breakages do happen indeed, it's occasional and nowhere near "redo everything every month".

What I will reckon is a pain, are machine-mangled CSS classes (e.g. by packers for React / other frameworks). They are kinda stable, until they're not, and at any rate, their inscrutability makes maintenance more difficult (because .user-profile-picture is human-transparent, while .cD5aZf is not :-/ ).
Yeah... people pay for it... because it's useful. That's usually how money works. I am kind of irked by this pervasive cynicism on HN where whenever some guys want to build something, the crowd goes "boooo, you're stealing from us!! This won't work!!! There will be some cost and we're not willing to pay anything!! "
abusive parents are the exception and not the norm. and even then, if the parents can be fixed and live with the children (under supervision if need be) then the children are still better off. because the worst feeling for a child besides outright abuse is the feeling of being abandoned by those who are supposed to care for them.

> You think that providing input to neurons through an electronic interface is mind control?

Um... yes...? I am really confused why people keep describing mind control as a defense of mind control.

> As in, we're not talking about people doing research on how to leverage the input/output interaction between the brain and these devices to perform manipulation of conscious/subconscious thought?

Yes, even if we ignore the part of Neuralink where they are working to understand and deploy complex interactions over human brain to computer interfaces, a little bit of mind control is in fact, still mind control.

I'm not sure who you think is moving goal posts. Controlling the mind with a direct interface to the mind is mind control. That much is obvious.

I also think it's interesting that you dropped the "mind reading" portion of my previous comment. Do you find that harder to refute, or do you think that Elon Musk should be allowed to read peoples thoughts?
Plenty of cars that intermittently won't turn on in this thread, but I once had a car that intermittently wouldn't turn off... or at least the headlights wouldn't. I assume a relay somewhere was overheating and that was making it stay closed, but I never debugged it, and nor could my cousin who was an auto mechanic. We never tried too hard, though: I would just take the fuse out if it happened and put it back the next morning.

As someone who just started Svelte two days ago, my naïve take is that this feels like adding verbosity.

1. Is there no way for the compiler to automatically, recursively find reactive dependencies?

2. Assuming no, is there not a more terse way to decorate reactive expressions?

Maybe it's a combination of the "bend" and the "long slow" part.

If you are making a turn the centrifugal force will push the fluid away from the axis of rotation. There is likely a level sensor only on one side of the tank, so the turn might push the fluid away from the sensor enough to trigger a warning.

The sensor likely has a time component to avoid triggering every time you make a turn, but if this bend is long enough, maybe the fluid is displaced long enough that it overcomes that minimum time.
Oh, there's nothing random about them.
> if we force supermarkets to give out expired food to coop farmers for animal feed instead of just throwing it out in the dumpster

Getting fresh produce from farms to shoppers involves enough waste. You need to transform the waste into something non-perishable, so transport can be done lazily. Composting, perhaps?
Show HN: Booklet – Async forums as an alternative to chat
I built Booklet to solve the problem of too many chat messages at work.

Booklet updates classic internet forums and email groups to have a modern UI and high polish. It organizes communications into threads, and summarizes activities into a neat email newsletter - so members can stay updated without having to stay logged in. The async format promotes deeper discussions, while also increasing engagement by making conversations easy to follow.

My goal is to make communications more asynchronous - so that I can get back to work, instead of slacking all day. Most early communities have been hobby groups, but my goal is to mature Booklet into a tool that sits alongside Slack in companies.

Try it out, and let me know what you think!
Perhaps it's long and slow enough to make the fluid move to a certain point and stay there long enough for the light/alarm to come on. If it's electronic vs solely mechanical, I'm sure they've got some smarts so that certain changes are ignored for a period of time (incline/decline, sharp turns, short stops).

Maybe you found the sweet spot at a certain point in that long, slow bend?
Is ‘reduced to clear’ not a thing where you live?
That's true, but perhaps just like in biological evolution, the ones that are against the grain don't survive, for whatever reason. So it could even be that convergence occurs via selection.
The problem with having a bunch of experts is that experts usually forget to check the basics.

Hey, I work for Electric.

The WASM module is just a standard build of SQLite, about 1.1mb - there are many landing pages 10x that size - and something that we think is easily justifiable for the types of apps that people can build with Electric.

In terms of use cases, there are numerous, broad-ranging possibilities - anything from a replacement for GraphQL or a REST API in your existing stack, all the way up to building large collaborative apps. Our intention is that you can build collaborative tools similar to Linear, and we do actually have a demo of this sort of thing (http://linear-lite.electric-sql.com), but it’s certainly not limited to that.

What about scoped reactivity? Sometimes you need to react on some of the states not all of them. Right now we are achieving this by passing function with arguments to react on to $: but with $derived and $effect it seems to be not possible because it takes variables from every function passed. Are there any plans how to resolve this? Also nested $effect instead of onMount looks awfull and to be honest is less readable.

ChatGPT is pretty good for translations of Japanese into English. It’s English to Japanese translation tend to sound somewhat stiff/formal/machine-generated, although it’s less prone to hallucinations than DeepL for larger texts. I expect this is because it was trained on a much larger corpus of English language texts than Japanese ones, which means the problem is not intractable.

The nice thing about OpenTelemetry is that it's a standard. The questionable implementation you're referencing isn't a source of truth. There isn't some canonical "questionable" implementation.

There are many, slightly different, questionable implementations.

There was a vibraant goth and industrial music circuit in '92 that was just meeting techno, and in an after hours scene that mixed everyone in. Most clubs were of a single genre and crowd for a given night, but after hours was where you got everyone left from everywhere. You had the attractiveness of nightclub staff getting off work with very multi-cultural drug dealers supplying everyone, the gay disco and drag scene, operated by the bikers, and frequented by money of all kinds looking for what money gets. As a kid in that era, it was easier to sneak into an after hours than a legit club, and with no licenses everything was all ages. Primordial shitshow would be the best way to describe it. I say this because what St. Jude is writing about in the article is probably more true than anyone might think.

I mean, any security camera that does anything with the cloud should never make it onto a recommendation list in the first place.

I'm not sure if the product exists, but something that replicates a homemade setup would be amazing.

Think of a bundled camera(s) + raspberry pi + 1tb backup drive or whatever that you can only access over your own dedicated personal wireguard vpn (or tailscale, something like that), but sold as a retail bundle.

Of course, that would cut out all the SaaS/app data selling aspect so it seems unlikely to happen.
Indeed, design patterns in physics and chemistry is a matter of the laws of nature, one cannot try something that doesn't follow such laws. In software, design patterns are simply guidelines, as there are no laws of nature in the realm of virtual space. It reminds me of mathematics but even mathematics has its own laws to follow, so software is even more unconstrained.

I remember being overjoyed when I got a similar setup (don't recall all the details now) running reliably at 9600 so terminals and faxes were pleasantly usable (2400 is usable, but not exactly pleasant). 19200 was iffy and worked until it didn't (and I recall CPE sensitive) and speed beyond that was a non-starter. Too much time spent fiddling with this back in the day.
It's sort of misplaced, I'll agree.

Merely using the delimited format without any other sort of framing is almost always a bad idea because of precisely the ambiguity TFA discusses.

I'm pretty sure delimited streams are rarely used in the wild instead of something more robust/elaborate such as recordio, which specifically are almost always prefixed with a few magic bytes to mitigate this problem.

Edit: Also, why is there no publicly available recordio specification? Infuriating.

How to Build an AI Browser Extension
funny thing, something like this happened to me. we were on site doing some implementation and went back to the hotel at about 3am.

less than an hour later, we get an email from nagios (i think it was nagios? it was a GOOD while back) complaining the server was offline. we got into a cab and went back straight up (this server was not supposed to be offline ever).

guess what? a maintenance guy turned the server off by mistake while cleaning up the server room -- even worse, he was not even supposed to be there!

this triggered a bunch of security checks and the company found out that most employees had access to any room in the building.
Only on places where they concentrate. It's not really flying that is difficult, it's approach and take-off, because they have to go through all of the heights.
DL researcher here, it's also hard I think because experimentally many of us have noted (also some research on this) that there's a critical early phase to learning that conditions the network a certain way, and adding and/or removing layers later seems to actually be quite difficult (removing easier than adding, by far, esp w/ something like variational dropout [yes, i cite the old deep magicks]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.05369)
