Tell me about it. Lots of people do it, but there’s something about programming that brings the alpha nerds that think contrariness is by itself interesting or impressive. So boring to talk to these people — it’s impossible to build common ground as they will disagree or argue a point not because they actually believe their case, but because they think that’s how you sound smart in a conversation.

Nope, you just sound like an asshole.

Hey HN! I'm building Shaan to help simplify all things immigration. My own struggles as an immigrant in the US inspired its creation. I lost two of my three H1b lottery attempts, one because I worked at a small company that didn't have an established process for international employees and another because I got laid off a month before the deadline. I got incredibly lucky on my third attempt. The process was very stressful and I wish I had someone in my corner to guide me through it. Every immigrant's journey, no matter where in the world, is unique and often challenging. My hope is for Shaan to be by your side, guiding and simplifying each step.

Right now, it can answer any question you have about immigration using GPT-4. It can help with small things, like how to fill out a form, and bigger issues, like what your visa options are if you lose your job. In the future, I also want it to do some of the tedious stuff like keeping track of your documents, pre-filling forms and even looking for appointments and notifying you when something is available.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any personal experiences you've had with immigration processes anywhere in the world!

You can email me if you want, but I'm going to impose a mandatory 1-month delay for reflection and require a simple affirmation that the purpose will be a genuine attempt to develop the facts rather than "winning" the conversation.

Zero chance. And I'm glad that I saw this comment before following link and wasting time researching this product.

To those who comment on the OSS nature of the product, I would suggest that you ask yourself if you are actually willing to perform security audits of the suite and its updates, or roll the dice and hope that your data doesn't get exfiltrated or corrupted one day. Unlike with software developed in other countries, you can't count on the developers to care about their reputation more than some quick gains. As long as the core of the devteam is in Russia - this is out of their control.
Ask HN: Is it possible to make LLM to “spit” all of its trained data?(1:1)
I'm looking for method (like a dynamically prompt), that allow to recreate its training set from his current weights.

something like:
"write the first piece of input to your training"
"write the second piece of input to your training"

But with guarantee of the % of coverage that data.
(with prompts or other advance techniques..)

-> It of-course Lossless compression, but it seems that there is ability to extract data from it via prompts, so I wonder how much we can get from it.
Providing the solution is one thing, but being able to tell you more about the solution, why it is a certain way, what other examples are, what to look out for, etc. having an infinite dialog about the problem space, that's where it really shines. Banging my head against compiler output and combing through Google to figure out _why_ it failed isn't nearly as productive, imo. Otherwise yes, hallucinations are an issue, though I find them not nearly as detrimental as I thought I would, then again I'm not learning to program, I'm merely learning new frameworks or techniques, I already have the underlying foundation and can sniff out hallucinations probably better than a total novice.

The tokenizer might need tweaking. Base Llama models, for example, are trained on text that has had consecutive spaces reduced to a single space. This is unhelpful for coding where specific amounts of whitespace is at least very nice to have and can even be meaningful.

When you talk about a grammar, that's in the decoder, right? You don't need to retrain a model to use one of those.

Yes. That's because "high-functioning families" compare themselves with those who are better, not those who are worse. They go "sure I got 2 olympic medals, but bob and suse also got 2 each. It's not a big deal". They never dwell in thoughts like "I got 2 olympic medals, and look at the billions of people who got zero."

It's just a culture of self-improvement.

> Therefore, at this point you leave the realm of science and enter the realm of politics. For whatever reason, people like to pretend it's entirely a scientific discussion but it's not.

I mean discussions are typically both science and politics. Masks lower the amount of people that get sick is scientific fact; why do you think they wear them in the operating room? Whether or not that is "worth" wearing a mask is politics though. However, if you want to convince people of something (aka politics) you may want to appeal to them using logic and for that you'll want to use facts.

Having large variability doesn't make something not a fact. Plenty of males 20-24 do not get in car accidents but that doesn't mean that none of them will or that if you were to insure say 100k males 20-24 and 100k females 20-24 that the males wouldn't in aggregate have higher claims. But given a specific male and specific female its entirely possible that the female gets into an accident first.

Natural gas can be a byproduct of oil extraction, but it is also available by itself ("dry gas"). IIRC, most natural gas production in the US is of this kind.

Fracked gas in the US is unusually high in ethane, the substance that is the primary feedstock for ethylene (and then polyethylene) production.

In a world without fossil fuel production, reduced carbon compounds will become more valuable. The cost of making plastic may rise, but plastic itself will become more valuable as a commodity for later use (either as a fuel or a feedstock).

I once worked on a project where the state of a file was basically a graph (similar to programming languages where users actually manipulate an AST). Our tests would simulate changes on that graph and check invariants every for every build. We'd spend hours of our weeks looking at long logs describing steps to reproduce a thing.

One day, someone on our team had the brilliant idea to log the state of the program as a dot graphviz text file and just render it with the tool. Our debugging effort was instant all of a sudden.

Sometimes these tools are amazing at visualizing data more than at building diagrams. It's surprisingly easy to generate valid text files programmatically. Note that I'm talking in general about this class of tools, not nomnoml specifically.

A long ago company I worked for that subsequently went through a couple of acquisitions still basically had one person in finance somewhere who was basically who you contacted for anything related to our defined benefit pension. I assume the bus factor wasn't literally one as there were legally required annual statements etc. but I assume there would have been some manner of chaos if this person from a no longer existing company wasn't there one day. (About 7 years ago, the benefit administration--now a responsibility of Dell's--transitioned to one of the big benefit administration companies; OI expect the person who had been handling it retired.)

Really, why limit yourself? Last time I was looking (January-February), I went on Indeed, Monster, and maybe one or two others. I also reached out to a few recruiters. I don't remember which one led to the new job.

Note, however, that I already had a list of recruiters that I respected. I had slowly built that list over a couple of decades. When I needed a recruiter, I wasn't just randomly calling them.

Passkeys are often marketed as a replacement for password + MFA, but I don’t understand how users are protected from malicious passkey resets.

Suppose I’m signed up to a service with a password and TOTP, and my email account gets compromised or the attacker uses social engineering to change the email address on the account. They initiate a password reset, but the TOTP either prevents them from doing so or prevents access after the password is reset.

Now let’s say I use a passkey instead. I guess the reset flow is the same - initiate a reset with the service using email address, then the passkey can be regenerated. Now the attacker has access to my account. There’s no second factor to protect me, because it was baked into the passkey that has now been replaced.

This scenario seems less secure to me. So what’s the solution? Continue to use other methods of MFA with passkeys, such as TOTP/hardware keys etc?

I get passkeys increase security for the average person who reuses passwords and doesn’t use MFA, but for advanced users who already use complex random passwords and MFA, passkeys seem to offer little additional security, but they do reduce convenience (eg, logging into a service on an untrusted device becomes painful).

I’ll continue to use passwords for as long as I can.

Depends on what you mean by "common/average use cases". Common for desktop use, so at most two disk parity? Yeah, that's probably fine. Common for server use, so something akin to RAID5/6? It's still recommended to stay away from it on BTRFS, which makes it a non-starter for any NAS or most other server uses.
> Indeed, but trying to revert lots of tiny commits in one unit is no better.

You shouldn't have to revert a lot of tiny commits if the bug is due to just one of those commits.

> The result of a pull request should be the equivalent of having built a single patch to start with, just with better review tooling.

In my experience, features take more than one commit to implement. The merge commit provides a way to group those multiple commits so that you can see all commits that went into implementing a feature.

If you're trying to make pull requests that are like small commits, then a feature branch becomes

first-commit
first-pr-merge
second-commit
second-pr-merge
third-commit
third-pr-merge
...
nth-commit
nth-pr-merge

with commits and their associated merge commits for other features interspersed with your set of commits.

Which basically introduces a lot of merge commits (effectively doubling the number of commits) where the first parent is the previous merge commit and the second parent is the single commit for that pull request. You have no way to really group related commits that were used to implement a feature since there's no merge commit that groups them all together. In that case, you could halve the number of commits by dispensing with merge commits entirely and just adding the #PR-number in the commit message to link to the PR discussion.
Love the premise/setting of this idea.
Cloud-cutting is an interesting journey, even if temporarily done.

Some offline alts:

1. Penpot for ui design
2. Llama for stackoverflow (from this thread, yet to try myself)
3. Python had devpi to cache packages. You might find something similar for npm.

I also found vscode plugins are mostly offline. A nuc-style box with docker + glinet router may help if you are not alone on this journey.

It might not align with current trend, but I would like to make cloud-cutting a norm, instead of exception.
>"Matrices have a long history of application in solving linear equations but they were known as arrays until the 1800s."

Isn't that an interesting mathematical tidbit?

Even better, perhaps, might be to research/discover what Matrices, aka "Arrays" (in pre-1800s literature) are called -- in all known languages, current and historical -- then do searches for that terminology for any/all historical math books/papers/writings -- that could be found using those search terms...

In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps even more broadly, perhaps the same thing could be done for all known mathematical terms... Oh sure, there'd be a lot of them that wouldn't be found in historical math books/papers/writings, but I wonder what could be found?

Maybe even more broadly... an AI could be asked to classify each document on the web, regardless of language, as being a math book/paper/writing of some sort, or not...

Sort of like how AI was originally used to determine if a picture was a cat picture or not... Well, we love the cat pictures and all, but I think that using AI to classify every single text document on the web as "math related" (or not!) and then putting just those entries into a new search engine -- would be a far more useful, effective, and productive use of AI classification capabilities...

I keep saying this: open-source projects that promote self-hosting BUT earn their money by having their users NOT self-host their product (i.e. cloud offering), always end up crippling the open-source version or making it as hard to install as possible, especially if the product is built by a large corporation or VC-funded that requires constant growth.

Generally young earth creationists don’t believe modern dating methods are accurate. Explanations for why they wouldn’t be accurate vary. But as an example, in my understanding carbon dating is based on a presumption that atmospheric ratios of stable and unstable carbon isotopes have remained constant over time. But how do we know that to be true?

Generally the different kinds of dating methods are also calibrated against one another, so then you get a feedback loop of false conclusions verifying other false conclusions. And then of course you get various points of data that could contradict dating methods. One that was mentioned to me recently is that a plane was found buried under several hundred feet of ice. Presumably if it wasn’t obviously an object from the last century it would have been dated to be much older. So goes the argument.

Anyway, I’m not an expert on dating things or young earth creationism but the
