Personally I would say to my 20 year old self, (I'm about to turn 30):

Write more code, lean into it, don't avoid it. (I have a masters in mechanical engineering, but I ended up writing code anyway in a tech company.)

Do more public speaking. (I still get unreasonably anxious about this and I feel like I suck at it)

Stick to hobbies and exercise (I'm a perpetual beginner in several things, I am not consistent at practicing guitar, or at rock climbing, two things I love and would like to be better at. It's generally more enjoyable to be somewhat decent at things.)

Read more books (and make 1 in 10 of those a fiction book, I read too much non-fiction business/technical/startup books)

Do more online courses (It took me ages to finally get around to doing things, I completed CS50x and some FreeCodeCamp stuff and I enjoyed it a learned a lot.)
Travelling for two months on ships (which aren't exactly great for the environment either) and public transportation is a bit much. Perhaps it's not that bad considering he might be able to use the time for remote work, but it's absolutely understandable the employer doesn't agree those 3-4 tons of estimated CO2 savings are worth it.

Travelling to climate summits and other things that could be done via video calls is ridiculous, as is flying between two neighbouring cities because it's subsidized to a point it's cheaper than using a car.
But there will always be cases where flying is just the most reasonable choice. Here it's the choice between 6 months field research + 2 flights or 10 months away from the desk and no flights.
Thats kinda the default when traveling underwater or in space - most of the time there is nothing interesting visible, yet the outside medium can easily kill you and windows help with that.

You can have some observation sections, but regular windows everywhere don't make sense in this case.
I seemed to have the issue with a .dev domain.
To add to this: Don't waste your time trying to convincing idiots on internet. (But listen broadly and keep the good and discard the bad.)

Systemd-nspawn or LXD/Incus are also alternatives. LXD user experience is pretty good.
Processing is different beast. It’s a framework, not a coding environment.

Processing is Java + sophisticated graphics and animation capabilties: you create a canvas and you can then draw to it. It has a bunch of functions and libraries for use by artists and graphics people. It’s solid and performant. And there is a Python mode these days if you like significant whitespace.

p5.js is Processing ported to JavaScript.
Ok, we can verify this. Someone could ask for a top 10, and see if it matches.
Because someone likely stood to benefit from it. The question is who and how?
Ah yes, sorry to assume.
A friend and I had started a project similar to this some 6-7 years ago. We wanted to make all the generated data consistent so if, for example, you need data about German person it would return real city name, real (or at least plausible) street name, postal number, phone numbers both mobile and fixed with the proper country and operators code, email address using national domain, personal name was chosen out of plausible names for each country etc. etc. In the end it was so much work that we abandoned it :(

Ask HN: Do you use LLMs to perform tasks in real applications?
I'm referring to some sort of deterministic tasks (like extract something from a user input, and probably any function call).

If so, do you test them? How? Are you concerned about it stop working with every prompt change, or even underlying model changes?

Full disclosure: I'm working on a solution in this space.
Love clicking a GitHub icon to go read the source code and learn more… and being taken to a google cloud storage bucket where there’s four files, a readme pdf that’s basically just links to several different google sheets documenting data that went into this, two ipython notebooks, and a pre trained model file in a big zip file which I can already tell will be the usual zipped pickle of a massive tensor flow model that deeply frustrating to work introspect and examine the code behind…

This feels like the GAN/capsule networks papers and “releases” I’d look at when I first tried to learn more about machine learning 4-5 years ago, back in then “Middle Ages” of ML, where the paucity of sources enriched the careers of Machine Learning experts who had no incentive to make their work really accessible beyond puff piece show off papers and a doi/citation to pad their h-rank or a link to the startup that funded it for their flimsy product concept that based on historical evidence was over 90% likely to fail to go beyond concept or prototype demo stage.

Edit! I might sound a bit bitter or annoyed but it’s because I’ve been getting into local ML for privacy and personal productivity and really trying to understand the capabilities and the hardware required for those capabilities… I’ve been particularly interested in potential robotics applications and I’m following this particular branch of ML intersecting Robotics quite closely as it affects the space robotics startup I founded, and it’s undoubtedly interesting work… I’m just deeply disappointed at how much of a throwback to a “worse” time this particular “publication” feels like. It’s not light on details of how they actually built it, the code feels like a throw it over the wall afterthought, and the distribution mechanism has had no effort put into making the material any more accessible, if the ipynb files were in a GitHub repo at least the notebook would be rendered so I could just read it in my browser without downloading and opening up the notebook in a code editor… it feels like there’s a code repo somewhere with a script that dumps these files into this bucket and that’s the repo where they run everything in Google colab and the strong association to Google’s DeepMind team makes me think that once I do open this up I’m going to find something that’s welded solid to googles custom TPUs and is basically useless to me… hence the mild vitriol because the entire publication gives me a bad taste in my mouth despite being extremely interested in the topic and willing to put work into understanding the current state of the art.
Haha. That’s a short-sighted strategy if I ever heard it. Why would you play a long-game like this to play a dumb short-game at the end? No, what you do is make it so you can no longer buy “just Widgets” you can still get your cheap Widgets through us, but you can only get them buy buying a Sprocket & Widget bundle. We are so sure you’ll love our Sprockets too!

Nobody can compete with you on the price and it is clear you can unbundle your Widgets from your Sprockets at any time if you ever feel threatened.

Type 2 diabetes, however, is almost always preventable, often treatable, and sometimes even reversible through diet and lifestyle changes. Like other leading killers—especially heart disease and high blood pressure—type 2 diabetes may be an unfortunate consequence of dietary choices. There is hope, though, even if you already have diabetes. Through lifestyle changes, you may be able to achieve a complete remission of type 2 diabetes, even if you’ve been suffering with the disease for decades.

People who eat a plant-based diet have been found to have just a small fraction of the diabetes rate seen in those who regularly eat meat. As diets become increasingly plant-based, there appears to be a stepwise drop in diabetes rates. Based on a study of 89,000 Californians, flexitarians (who eat meat maybe once weekly rather than daily) appear to cut their rate of diabetes by 28 percent, and those who cut out all meat except fish appear to cut their rates in half. What about those eliminating all meat, including fish? They appear to eliminate 61 percent of their risk. And those who go a step farther and drop eggs and dairy, too? They may drop their diabetes rates 78 percent compared with people who eat meat on a daily basis.
Issues with 1.1.1.1 public resolver and WARP

Given that Threads seems to suppress posts linking to other websites,

So here is one potential application: consulting, advising and/or one-on-one tutoring/teaching.

There could be a parent script on a particular topic-call it a mini-lecture-which can then be “forked” by each user (or team). Then there would be a private and unique version of that interaction which is uniquely identified and stored for the advisor as well as the user.

The advisor might want to monetize these “forks” somehow-so that would need to be considered.

A side-by-side comparison of this with an asynchronous “zoom” experiment would be interesting to test the value of audio alone.

Cheers! Looks interesting!

The 100k stat that wiki page cites is from this [0] hilariously uhthorough document.

The "gang database" that I'm assuming that statistic is sourced from has been found to be completely riddled with errors.

"Those mistakes included two people listed as 132 years old and 13 people recorded as 118 years old." [1]

"Another said he double-checks information in the database by looking up police reports, because he’s aware that some people are identified as gang members based solely on where they live." [2]

The same happened to me yesterday. Just received an email saying:

"We have discovered that you have deployed an ad to generate traffic (and bookings) to your affiliate or strategic partnership page with us, which is identical to our own Booking.com website. The landing page of your ad does not offer any additional content or benefit to the consumer. This is a breach of your obligations under your Affiliate or Partnership Agreement with us. "... Effective immediately, we hereby terminate our Affiliate or Partnership Agreement with you pursuant to the termination for convenience clause.

Replying for email leads to Contact form which after filling it you receive automated reply saying that my account has been deactivated due to inactivity. Such a bullshit and no way to contact anybody.

I have been using Booking's Affiliate program for years and put a lot of work into it. Now it's obviously lost together with hundreds of $ worth commissions not payed yet.

If you will find any way how to deal with Booking, can you let me know?
It’s not clear you have a point you’re trying to make anymore.

> I'm just meandering on the topic that cultural fetishism can be appealing to Americans because of how our own culture has grown to be and how immature it still is.

You’ve already been replied to that some from other cultures love American culture. Japan took Whisky, baseball, and jeans from the US and knocked them out of the park.

Are you trying to say that Americans fetishize cultures more than others? Or are you saying the American culture has no appeal? It’s not clear and I don’t see you really supporting either view well.

Go watch the videos, The Sphere looks incredible. What’s the problem? Go see the band in Brooklyn and get one experience. Go see them in Vegas and get another. That’s how it works. That’s how it’s always worked.
That’s not exactly the same and while I understand it’s a great treatment for a lot of people, I think I’m talking about a path that leads people more easily towards suboxone. Just plain giving them heroin safely, cheaply and predictably can help addicts start to get their lives back on track. And then maybe move to suboxone when they’re ready.

But I guess regardless of the specifics (and I’m sure I’m not the expert here anyway), the point is that we ought to be trying what works, for the addicts and for the rest of us to reduce their associated crime, rather than sticking to dogma and judgement.

This isn't true. Contemporaneous evidence may often be admissable in court, subject to other legal tests and challenges regarding its relevance, reliability and integrity.

Any evidence that you have that can corroborate your story will be useful to you, hence digital trails are defensive tools to innocent people, even though appearing on CCTV or near a crime could be sufficient for further investigation including questioning, detainment, or other forms of inquiry.
Yes... and they can trade it in. That's a responsible way to handle the need to sell more products each year.
No, they work anywhere from 80 to 20% efficiency depending on the density of the cloud. But the vast majority of cloud cover is obviously the less dense kind (dense kind falls out of the sky). So you could say 60% efficiency on a typical overcast day.
Poll: For or Against AI
We're hitting peak AI. There's a lot of noise, hype, ChatGPT wrappers and clones. There's infinite generative things and talk of replacing life with a metaverse/AI equivalent. But there's also significant value being demonstrated in the tools, architecture and new paradigm of interaction with technology. So curious to know, are you for or against it? Do you have an apocalyptic view about the whole thing? Or is it just a hyped phenomenon that will deliver as much value as the internet, mobile or the cloud?
>Relationships, communication, and culture pretty much set themselves up in office. While remote you have to work extra hard for it and it just doesn't seem to be happening for most people.

While I understand the motivation for this take I do not agree with it. You have to be intentional about supporting remote teams from the get go, which means you have to select for the skills that let those teams thrive when you're staffing them and especially their management chain. Expectations have to be clear, time needs to be protected from calendar pirates, outcomes need to be measured and accounted for, team members need to be able to talk to each other and management needs to keep reasonably close (but not oppressively so) tabs on team ops. It can absolutely work but it doesn't happen by accident.
>From an operational and strategic security POV, cash is a vastly superior technology. It doesn't need electricity, a network of cables, satellites and routers.

If the power goes out, I can't get any cash. I don't keep any meaningful amount cash on hand and neither does anyone I know, including my elderly relatives. Most of the stores I shop at won't actually be able to sell me anything, because none of the products have price tags and I sincerely doubt that any of their staff are trained to revert to pen-and-paper accounting. Even if they did manage to keep things running, they'd likely run out of change by the end of the day. The grocery stores are JIT and have no more than a few days of stock of anything; again, I doubt there's a manual backup to their reordering system.

Maybe things are different in countries with less reliable infrastructure, but I just can't think of a scenario in which cash would gain you any appreciable amount of resilience without much wider systemic changes. So much other stuff beyond payments is wholly reliant on technology. I'm not sure that would be a wise investment versus improving the resilience of power distribution and network infrastructure.
There seems to be an effort to cultivate controversy about this because a section of the establishment hate Mr Thiel.

If you are going to have a database then people are going to access it. A private company that you hire specifically for that purpose with expertise in not having much more serious information leak is one of your better options. I mean, would we trust the major other IT or cloud vendors with this either?
"...makes me have second thoughts about the relevance of said camouflage."

I can't say that I'm fully up on the latest cameras used in drones but I've been employed on the engineering side of video tech and surveillance and it's clear there's no end of the trickery that modern cameras can get up to. Modern sensors can easily respond to both IR and UV and with the right filtering can be made very selective in what they see.

Combine this with front-end motion detection and back-end processing and one has a really powerful detection system. I'd reckon with this tech that traditional camouflage would be nigh on useless. Moreover, if the drone were coupled by link to 'home' and very powerful back-end processing with AI then the game would be up for troops on the ground (seems to me either these guys are either extremely patriotic or they're unfamiliar what the tech will do). That's not the end of it either, there's also LIDAR that will see through much camouflage, combine it with those camera sensors and anyone on a battlefield would stick out like the proverbial.

Incidentally, this type of detection goes back a long way so it's now well developed tech. Film was made IR-sensitive before WWII and during the War Kodak perfected a false-color IR reversal film for detection of camouflage, etc. As a keen photographer I used to use a later 35mm version of this film and it was surprisingly good at emphasizing objects that weren't highly visible with normal color film.

I actually find HN book recommendations useful for the opposite reason: the un-upvoted comments at the bottom that have book suggestions I've never heard of before. That is valuable, while this list of popular choices is mostly predictable.

If you dig into any "recommend me books" post, you'll find some truly great recommendations near the bottom.
kata containers were demonstrated to me in 2018. So they are not that new. I had forgotten about them in the meantime.

Is there a good reason why they don't seem widely adopted?
I like the clean slate we get from boot-from-scratch. Some pieces of hardware have subtle state corruption issues that can accumulate over uptime (kinda like Windows) that get flushed out by a reinitialization.
Instead as much as possible of the boot process should be taken off the critical path and be treated more like hotplug/optional peripherals. Those HDDs? They can spin up while I'm already logged in (assuming they're not the boot drive).
My problem with the metric scale is that when values are expressed in scientific notion they lose all reference to me.

I try to learn but the only thing I think I have retained is that if the number has a negative 6 its most likely a small number.
Network effects. Do you think Facebook would have ever taken off back in the 2000s if everyone had to get a code from a furry to join?
I'm not sure about "unneeded". Important motivations why people learn a foreign language are because they want to speak with native speakers in that language without an intermediate (because they move to that country, or because they have a partner speaking that language), or because they find that language interesting/beautiful, or because they want to read or listen to original sources. Machine translation doesn't remove any of those motivations.

I'm Dev, a 38-year old engineer from New Hampshire who's been executing computing projects since childhood. I can do stuff like running large distributed systems, building dynamic GUIs, Linux system programming or quickly learning a new tool. I mostly program, though I've done a bit with networking, ops and data. I've contributed to over 100 open source projects and my primary personal goal is to improve how our industry builds and manages software, especially a way to make reduce complexity.

My CV and bare-bones website is at https://doubly.so/dev/
Maybe... the obligation of ongoing contact just because it's possible is just as damaging to people who need space and focus. Not every relationship has a denouement. Sometimes there's nothing to say that is better than nothing, or petty socially obligated lies.

Sometimes.
The evidence would have to be looked at in regards to the totality of the evidence. They couldn't just say you handed the phone to somebody else without knowing this and showing evidence that this was the case. Assertions without evidence are generally not persuasive, and in criminal cases they must prove that you committed the crime beyond "reasonable doubt". The burden of proof is on the prosecution.

And, if there was corroboration with the digital trail of the mobile device, and you appearing on a CCTV at a location matching the GPS at some point or chatting to somebody on the phone, it'd possibly further break the insinuation that you didn't have the device during this time period.
