What kinds of sickness would make horse flesh a worse source of meat than cattle flesh?
I live en Europe too (northern countries) and we almost never handle coins anymore, but nickel itself is in so many things as an alloy. So I can imagine it must be very annoying to buy something and suddenly realise you can't use it due to a rash, that does indeed suck.
If you are not afraid of it, it means you don't know nearly enough to be successful.

Maybe there are 20-something people out there with enough world knowledge to make one. But it's not a safe bet at all.
Show HN: Tabby – AI Coding Assistant Runs on Apple M1/M2 GPU
Hi HN, after five months of hard work since Tabby's previous Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35470915), I'm thrilled to share you the release of Tabby v0.1.1.

Previously, Tabby ran exclusively on CUDA devices, posing a significant barrier for developers looking to effectively utilize LLMs in their day-to-day coding.

The Tabby team made a significant contribution by enhancing support for the StarCoder series models (1B/3B/7B) in llama.cpp. This enhancement allows these models to run on Metal, providing comparable performance to that of an NVIDIA GPU.

I eagerly look forward to receiving feedback from the community and witnessing the enhanced on-edge deployment experience!

Well responded, love the irony here. True connoisseur of expression.
> there are a lot of people in Europe that simple don't want or like black/brown people and people of other religions.

And the only answer you can give them is: deal with it, they are already here, have all rights to be here and will stay.

It makes me think about those retards who think they can forbid homosexuality. You like it or not gays exists, have been for millions of years and will forever. Even in countries when it is repressed.

Even oysters are smarter than those people you are talking to.
I like it! For LLM creators that self-host their modal, they wouldn't have to worry about their patron leaving them. However, the patron only grows in power based on the wishes of other agents other than the warlock. Wizards, in theory, have unlimited power of their hardware environment [cough except DRM].
The West does not. Major R&D effort went into laser based SHORAD that is basically free to fire, with units being already deployed. Besides that, good old C-RAM would take those out no problem.
The problem is amalgamation and the fact that western countries (very mistakenly) decided to deindustrialize and send their jobs to poorer countries to prop up their corporate profits. It is much harder for people to graduate and go get a good job at the local factory, have 4 kids, a house, etc. You need to go to college, get a degree, fight for a job which then become more concentrated in fewer places as they compete for workers.

Hopefully remote work will help push back against this force.
The traditional Linux-bashing post, which is effectively (to my mind) countered by the traditional response, which is that another indie dev found [1] that most of these issues were not Linux-specific. That is to say, Linux users don't report more bugs because there are a lot of problems running the game specifically on Linux, but because they're accustomed to reporting bugs instead of just ignoring them.

Pure spitballing. What if: in exchange for fully subsidized schooling at a state school, graduates participated in a profit-sharing agreement with the country and city that they went to school in? Similar to the Lambda model (what happened to them anyways?).
They don't have any right to my attention precisely because I have the right to walk away. How is that not the moral framework involved?
The specification is massive (840 pages) even though it is written in very terse way that does not really specify the effects and behavior, only the syntax.

On the other hand if one ignores few warts (explosion of local styles and text spans due to ooo:rsid attribute, non-sparse spreedsheets and weird mechanism for styling tables as a few examples) it is really well designed markup for this kind of document data that strikes right balance between it being semantic markup and representing the kinds of stuff users want to do. Compare that with Office OpenXML with stateful formatting empty tags (yes, really, in DOCX <b/> _TOGGLES_ whether following text is bold).

For me it's also interesting as a potential pathway for data poisoning attacks - if you have control over the data used to train a production model, can you modify the dataset such that it inserts a backdoor to any model trained subsequently trained over it? E.g. what if gpt was biased to insert certain security vulnerabilities as part of its codegen capabilities?
This is completely true. Taxes, entitlements and billing can be 3 different products. I don't understand how people think it's a 3 week effort. Avoiding this separation can lead to a messy setup down the road.
How to treat programming with illogical seriousness
Murat had an interesting review on a seminal queuing theory book: http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2023/09/review-performance-.... It's surprising to me that these experts in distributed systems didn't find the book useful in practice.

I was wondering if there are other similar books that are as comprehensive and deep while offering practical values as well.
Several comments addressing the likely change in the bug side of the statement over the past 4 years, but I'm also very curious how the Steam Deck has changed the sales side of it. While I doubt it's anywhere close to a majority, my guess is that it's a lot more than 0.8% these days.
There was an experiment where a scientist (I think it was Pask) built a cybernetic chemical machine in a petri dish. When the requirement to respond to sound was introduced, the machine grew "ears": spines of different lengths (that therefore vibrated at different resonant frequencies like the hairs in the inner ear.) (One of the most fascinating and terrifying experiments ever conducted IMO.)

Then there was the famous case of the program optimized by genetic programming that wouldn't function correctly on any but the FPGA it was evolved on; the program had adapted itself to idiosyncrasies of the hardware that were invisible on the level of the specification.

Just as Lord Kelvin's Thunderstorm evolves an electric charge so evolution, uh, evolves whatever potentialities are there and adaptive.

In sum, duh. Of course plants are sensitive to sound. The contradictory hypothesis would be that there's nothing useful to plants in their soundscape. And doesn't that sound obviously silly?
> > All that might turn out to be irrelevant as the drones prove detrimental in a warfare.

I highly doubt it. At least I hope so.

Nobody dreams of becoming a drone pilot. At the end of the day it's a cubicle job.
>This would only make sense if Ukrainians were suicidal enough to actually even consider attacking Russia.

When you consider yourself a minority and you are convinced you will be wiped out and are thus desperate, it is not uncommon for highly courageous acts to be made.

There are no hard black/white lines in this spectacle.

>They attacked very few targets on Russian soil

I challenge you to differentiate between attacking a nation, and attacking a nations citizens, and justify those legislative positions which allow this difference to be attained, across a spectrum of international sovereign nations' own laws on the protection of their citizens.

It is specious to assume, for example, that the USA are the only nation that would bomb other countries in order to protect their citizens' interests.

Other nations do it, too.
Ask HN: Right tool for right job or for the right brain?
Think of all the eternal debates

* Interpreted (aka REPL) vs compiled languages

* Strictly typed versus dynamically typed

* Curly braces versus indentation

* Functional versus Object-oriented programming

* Verbose and explicit versus terse and implicit

These binary choices and preferences are feeding raging flamewars for decades and will likely continue, maybe forever?

Sometimes the wise argument deployed to lower the heat is: use the right tool for the right job. There is definitely a lot of truth in that.

But what if actually different people have different neural types and its also a case of the right tool for the right brain?

Maybe if we can identify how people internalize code we will find out that there are different types of people and there is no more point to force a certain approach to programming than arguing about taste in food.

If so, people could save enormous heartburn and teams could organize much better if they knew what type of developer everybody is.

Not to mention we could spare a lot of internet bandwidth.
Seeing some (probably very fake) tweets that the unmanned jet landed in Cuba. No reason to believe that's true, but I do wonder whether it would be remotely possible for someone to take the jet over. I imagine it has a lot of proprietary software inside
When people are given more free time and disposable income, they have the bad habit of creating new stuff. Just because you aren't making Jim, stare at a screen for 40 hours a week, doesn't mean that he won't be contributing to the economy. In fact, there is reason to believe that, the more we chain people to offices and desks, the less we advance as a society.

Just look at silicon valley and the businesses popping up out of nowhere. Imagine if Job, Wayne, and Wozniak didn't have the spare cash to make computers in a garage. Imagine if they had all been working 80 hour work weeks in the coal mines or offices.
For some things, no age is "too soon". Typically this would be for certain competitive sports programs. If a child waits until grade 9 to pick up a sport they are going to be well behind the curve.

Typically though for most kids grade 7 or 8 begins school course tracking. You want to be able to take AP courses that can lead to GPAs above 4 and whenever that tracking starts in your school system you want to be aware of the choices you are making and when some choices will close doors in grade 11 and 12. To be clear, every kid does not need to track into every honors option and overloading a kid so they can't get high grades is worse than taking courses they can master.

From my own family, getting volunteer hours out of the way in middle school was relatively painless as other time commitments like club sports, homework, and free ranging were still easy to accommodate at that age.

Note though that there are a good many who start in high school and better late than never.
Did you finish the article? The author brought up that point, with the caveat that they couldn’t think of a better term.
Plants having some form of vision doesn't that extraordinary of an idea to me. They can clearly detect light because of photosynthesis. Plants will also grow/turn towards the light. Ie they have a way to detect light. It doesn't seem that crazy to me that they could have some mutation that uses the information the plant gets from light.
Not to criticise parent, but I think the building and construction metaphor doesn't apply to software. The construction happens in the compiler and the interpreter, it's a afterthought, you get it for free. What we do is design, sometimes iterative design. Need a different metaphor.

I had a high school friend with a relative who was a reasonably-successful hedge fund manager ($500M AUM in the early 2000s) - nothing crazy, no insane quants, just a pretty traditional (for the time) fund, and in moments of candor (usually assisted by THC), the relative basically said the exact same thing:

Most of the alpha in the traditional hedge fund world often just boiled down to getting away with insider trading. It was so rampant that it was just part of the game. The stuff we all heard about in the news was just the particularly egregious stuff the SEC HAD to blow up. But if the SEC prosecuted every instance of anything even remotely insider-y, there would have been no hedge funds left.

(Now to be fair: I'm not really speaking to Renaissance - just to the general industy in the early 2000s. I think other commenters have made compelling points that Renaissance may very well have some actual special sauce.)

1943: built a computer

2023: still figuring out a strong theory of how to program the damn thing safely
I just have a Synology DS1821+ which has (8 * HDD bays) + (2 * M2 slots). The bays I've filled with 18TB HDDs (I chose Toshiba N300 as they do not use SMR). The M2 slots I've put a couple of 1TB M2 drives in as an SSD cached (they better allow the HDDs to hibernate for frequently accessed files like music).

I've got these in an SHR configuration (Synology Hybrid Raid with 1 disk of protection) which means about 115-6TB of usable space and allowing for single drive failure.

The filesystem is BTRFS ( https://daltondur.st/syno_btrfs_1/ ).

I upgraded the RAM (Synology will forever nag about it not being their RAM https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/kaq7ks/how_to_dis... ).

I have the option in future to purchase the network card to take that to 10Gbps ports rather than 1Gbps ports.

So that's the first... but then I have a second one... which is an older DS1817+ which is filled with 10TB HDDs and yields 54.5TB usable in SHR2 + BTRFS... which I use as a backup to the first, but as it's smaller just the really important stuff and it is disconnected and powered down mostly, it's a monthly chore to connect it, and rsync things over. Typically if I want to massively expand a NAS (every - 10 years) I will buy a whole new one and relegate the existing to be a backup device. Meaning an enclosure has on avg about 15y of life in it and amortises really well as being initially the primary, and then later the backup.

I do _not_ use any of the Synology software, it's just a file system... I prefer to keep my NAS simple and offload any compute to other small devices/machines. This is in part because of the length of time I keep these things in service... the software is nearly always the weakest link here.

You can build your own NAS, TrueNAS Core (nee FreeNAS) https://www.truenas.com/freenas/ is very good... but for me, a NAS is always on and the low power performance of this purpose built devices and their ability to handle environmental conditions (I am not doing anything special for cooling, etc) and the long-term updates to the OS, etc... makes it quite compelling.
Hey, I've actually build a spreadsheet engine in Rust. Not open sourced, but could give you some pointers. You are going to hit lots of performance issues before you can have some gains using the methods of the article.

Some mothers have 5-15 kids!
To state that this was a proposal to tax "anyone moving out of [the] state" is patently false. It would have only applied to people over a very high wealth threshold, $30,000,000.

You also omitted that this would be a wealth tax, not an income tax. Big difference. Income is determined on an annual basis and is usually sourced to where it is earned. Wealth is an accumulation over years, including unrealized or unrecognized (for tax purposes) income from various sources (e.g. different states).

Finally, this was a failed bill submitted by a few legislators, which would have required 2/3rds vote in both chambers. It never even made it out of the chamber of origin and so never came up for a full vote. So, "California" in fact did not "try" to impose this tax, since it was never even close to passing under California's rules, let alone being signed into law. And as several commentators elsewhere have observed, it would probably face significant challenges in court even if there was some alternate universe where it was CA law.

> pattern matching in Rust can't be expressed more as a type system trait-type thing (hand waving here) that any struct could conform to, rather than an explicit first class hardcoded object type with its own storage structuring, etc?

Do you think you can provide a more concrete example? First thing that comes to mind for me is some kind of structural typing [0], but I'm not confident I'm interpreting your comment correctly.

>But someone recently told me in Catholic mass you don't even get a church-wide breakfast?? WTF?

That really depends on your individual parish in my experience. The church I grew up going to had donuts after ever 10:30am mass, and the one I go to now has free breakfast. I've also been to ones that have nothing at all.

It's also extremely common for Catholic churches to hold
a "Friday Fish Fry" every Friday during Lent
I don’t see Spotify making any suggestion of a solution that addresses their concerns without boxing Apple out of the payment process entirely.

I get why what Apple has in place is onerous. I also see that Apple needs to get paid somehow. So what’s the third option?

Edit:
My vote for the third option has always been, and remains, allowing of side loading apps. And this can be only for users who enable it. But it seems like this solves every complaint people have about the App Store.
> The brain in the skull and consciousness reflects upon what’s already happening in the periphery.

I've read summaries of these studies as well, but... the adrenal cortex doesn't have any sensory-processing facilities, right? In the end it's the brain that informs the adrenal gland?
Thanks for this! It's interesting that the article says doing it in software can be more power efficient than having a dedicated chip for the intermediate frequencies. Does that mean there exists "dumber" RF chips that do less, offloading the math to the main CPU for power savings? It seems like the kinda thing that would be commonplace if so...?

I guess my fundamental confusion is why "listening" to a broadcast signal takes so much power, vs say a FM receiver or passive wifi snooping.
Honestly, the OWASP top ten is generic enough that most vulnerability fit in it : "injection", "security misconfiguration", "insecure design".

The problem is

1. knowing the gazillion of web vulnerabilities, and technologies

2. being good enough to tests them

3. kick yourself and go through the laborious process of understand and test every key feature of the target.
> Does every stable relationship involve sexual aspects?

Not generally. But creating a child necessarily involves creating a stable biological relationship primarily with two other people.

Most people across history think the biological circumstances that bring us into the world are spiritually important and making the triangle between mother-father-child healthy is good for children.

For better or worse, people care their genetic material. We can either choose to create a society that makes the best of this, or we can try to suppress it and convince people that it doesn't matter.

And yes I know that surrogacy exists. But that's a side argument that opens up a lot more questions and I don't think it really changes the fundamentals.
would today’s people be effective in the past ? different times, different inputs, different outputs.
Yes exactly, it only switches to politics in the last paragraph. The point might be accurate but the evidence is sleight of hand from biological examples. Classic rhetoric, the sort of thing no one would pull you up for in 1926.
This is a perspective issue.

The customer was the in-state parent. Rest assured, they were taxed just fine.

The child, when it finishes college, should do whatever is best for the child.

If the kids are leaving the state, the problem is the state isn't attractive to the next generation. Not that the kid somehow skipped out on the state. Heck, the state had an inertial advantage over every other state and still couldn't keep the kid there.

Source: I grew up in Pennsylvania. Love the place. Left for greener pastures. Don't owe them anything out of my paychecks today. But my parents kicked into their coffers for decades and still do.
This is a classic main effect vs interaction. Looking at “people who study writing” is not the useful category here, since it’ll include literature degrees (and probably exclude skilled writers who haven’t formally studied writing, to boot). More useful is to consider skilled writers vs unskilled writers within a same profession.
Sounds like a lot of complaining. For the record, Apple Music pays artist more.
While I respect their point of view, I do not agree that banning bounties in OSS projects is the right way of approaching it, and as such we haven't complied to it. Specially since this is a bounty for a real need that we have at Wasmer.

Furthermore, we also took their post constructively and added two more points on the bounty issue [1] that we believe should solve most of their concerns:

* Wasmer will manage the work and have at most one person or team working on it at a time. Anyone interested on the work should reply here and organization of the work will be done by the Wasmer team

* Partial work that actually works will be rewarded accordingly (for example, the libc layer, or the Zig layer itself)

Of course, the fact that they banned any further conversation from the disagreement doesn't make specially easy to see if such an approach will be sufficient for them or not.

I did a quick look to see if this only worked in tropical forests, or if this would be true in, say, Western North American forests.

I didn't really find an answer.

A study[1] in Virgina found that planting multiple varieties of trees was beneficial because it allowed the variety that was most suitable for that location to thrive, and survive problems that might affect other varieties.

A study[2] in Washington State tested a couple varities of common conifers planted in pairs, and found more conventional "trees are affected by competition" result.

This study[3] performed in the inter-mountain West found that some conifers _may_ benefit from being mixed with aspens, but didn't seem nearly as conclusive as the Borneo study.

If anyone can find a more conclusive study about temperate Western forests, I'd love to see it.
