The problem is that information in Discord is locked away and is completely inaccessible.

As an example. An Elixir library I'm using, Ash, had its support forum on Discord. Just recently they moved it to a proper forum. Here's the immediate result [1]:

Moving to ElixirForum just benefited me. I googled elixir ash registry to understand what it is and if I still need it (I ended up with it from an example somewhere). The top result was this excellent question and answer

A forum is always nicer, and is accessible to more people.

> because they don't count as diverse

Well yes. If your fruit salad consists of 80% apples and 20% pears, you're not going to get a better mix by adding even more apples. That's basic math, even if the apples might not like it.

That being said, I keep reading about growing pies and not-zero-sum games, so you could apply the same logic here as well: if the percentage of women (vs men) or blacks (vs whites) etc should be increased, that doesn't necessarily mean that the absolute counts of men has to be reduced or that from this day on, no more men have to be employed for new jobs. It just means that employment numbers of women have to grow faster than those of men.

Also, if there are root causes that can be addressed, such as different training biographies, it could be possible to archive that change without mandating any kind of specific employment policies.

Vector extensions to your current database or search engine makes far more sense than adding yet another dependency to manage and operate. The vector database folks will have to become a real database or full featured search engine to survive and compete with the incumbents that will all have good solutions for vector similarity search.
There is loss to convert AC/DC, likely low 90s efficiency. Having an in-line DC power meter should be a very simple task, measuring the draw power from the outlet is rather pointless.

Ahh, thanks for the correction, I thought the $50 only included the tool.
This is explicitly a non-goal. Ferrocene considers itself a certified downstream of the rust project and as such we certified the rust compiler as it was at 1.68. There's no effort or push to standardize the language from our side.

As part of the certification efforts, we had to write a spec since some description of the language is required. But this spec is a descriptive spec, describing the intended behavior of the language at that point in time - it's mostly distilled from other forms of documenting rustcs behavior, such as the RFCs etc. If there's a divergence between the spec and the compiler, we'll need to investigate whether we uncovered a bug in the spec or in the compiler.

It's not a complete spec, nor does it intend to be. The format it's written is is useful for the certification and documentation effort, but it doesn't cover large chunks that you'd for example need to write second rust compiler implementation. The spec is likely usefor for others, but its Raison d'Être is to serve as a basis for the certification and as such, it will remain limited in scope.

The majority of the article was positive, curious, and frankly enticing. At the end of the article, there was some criticism tinged with hope for the future. That's what balanced reporting traditionally looks like.

>Over the past year, we’ve meticulously scraped all Worldcat records. At first, we hit a lucky break. Worldcat was just rolling out their complete website redesign (in Aug 2022). This included a substantial overhaul of their backend systems, introducing many security flaws. We immediately seized the opportunity, and were able scrape hundreds of millions (!) of records in mere days.

>After that, security flaws were slowly fixed one by one, until the final one we found was patched about a month ago. By that time we had pretty much all records, and were only going for slightly higher quality records.

OCLC carelessly fiddlefarted around with their moat and lost it. Poof!
Fixed. Thanks for the catch!
Sorry, Poe's Law got me here.
Exactly. This is like someone drawing a picture of something and then shouting about the existence of the drawing as if they didn't cause it to happen. Or as if a drawing of something is something physically real. I'd say more but I don't want to give clicks required to read to such an obiously inflammatory puff piece.

As a human person this is all really stupid and without significance. But I'm sure the corporate persons will be fighting it out over the claimed ability to restrict generation of their symbols by human people. Should've just made it a steamboat willy holding a firearm. That's in public domain now.
>It will be hard for the court to argue that amazon should start recommending more expensive items to consumers, just to push consumers into looking for a cheaper platform.

Yes, 100% this. That's why I said that this lawsuit has a major remedy problem. Even if the court agrees this is anticompetitive, how do you fix it?

By now they all know of companies like Deel, which solve these issues. They can even be the employer of record. And yet...
All of this makes me think I should just switch to a flip phone. It's exhausting having to constantly drop hundreds of dollars every 3 years just to stay safe.

I have a Pixel 5 that does everything I want. Google will stop supporting it within the next year. It doesn't make sense to me that this device already needs to be recycled. Yes, I know about custom ROMs, but even those end support for perfectly OK phones (GrapheneOS for example no longer supports Pixel 3a).
I'm suddenly very suspicious of modern-ish novels with named cigarette brands (most places ban nearly all advertisement of cigarettes these days, but I doubt anyone has gotten round to regulating cigarette product placement in books...)
Typing is literally an architectural/design decision. There is no such thing as one single type system that works for all use cases.

It's like saying there's only one good kind of metal fastener for construction. Sometimes you should use nails, sometimes screws, sometimes bolts. It's not like one of those is always superior to the others. You literally should not use a bolt all the time, nor a screw, nor a nail. There are specific engineering requirements and purposes to them all and you can't just mix and match based on your personal preferences.

Well, let me correct myself: you could just use one fastener you prefer, but your building would fall apart six different ways and be a huge pain in the ass to construct. Thankfully we have building codes so people can't just decide to do that.
but here are the real-talk tips

This has a "how do you do, fellow kids" vibe.
If someone from Facebook Ads is reading this, can you please reach out to me? hi at my username.com. There's a bug in your "suspicious log in detected" system and I'm trapped in a customer support loop and no one is able to properly escalate the situation.
How so?

I’m saying that the public tolerates this situation (and the CIA et al use the classification system this way) because the public prefers feeling a certain way about what their government is doing, over knowing what their government is doing.

Nominally, if the public cared more about what was actually happening:

1) Church commission type investigations would be a monthly occurrence (at the scale the gov’t current works at), not a one time fluke (historically)

2) Classified information and secret programs would require third party independent oversight (actual oversight. Not FISA like rubber stamping, which BTW came out of the Church commission investigations).

3) classified information would have very short timeframes before mandatory publication (at most a decade)

4) people would actually go to jail for abuses.

None of which happens.
It's true. There's a whole Planet Money episode about this somewhere in their archives; I think Economics Explained on YouTube also touches on this. Shell corps are the way to go (not that I would know, of course).
Capitalism also developed murdering millions of their own citizens in bourgeois revolutions. Any drastic change in a society involves fight for power. Moralism is a bad tool to understand such dynamics in society.

All developed countries that became rich can be separated in four categories:

1) They had colonies in the past (or even have colonies in the present).

2) They have very little population and lots of natural resources.

3) They underwent a Marxist(-Leninist) revolution.

4) They were benefited by cold-war policies. Being neighbor of communist countries, these countries got external incentive to industrialize and become models for propaganda.

Cases 3 and 4 are linked to Marxist revolutions. Cases 2 are very special ones and cannot be generalized. Case 1 involves much more atrocities than a mere revolution in your own country, it involves invading and stealing other countries.
That is hilarious! I've never been so tempted to use Facebook :-) When will this feature be added on Hacker News? Right after they implement emojis I do hope!

I'm just describing a potential disincentive. It's not a straw man.

That's why the notion of expiring copyright works out. I didn't suggest removing that. And sure, there's plenty of room in between there. What would call for, then? If there is any demand, the owner of the work needs to front the expense to fulfill it, otherwise lose the rights to the work? There are lots of ways for this to go wrong.

Anyway, copyright is already a mess, and it will only get worse over the next decade. It's worth talking about it.
Hopper Cuts 30% of Staff in Bid to Get Profitable
Government has the power of the state to force their wills on people. Please tell me a scenario where an adtech company will gain the ability to take away my rights and property the way the government can?

The government has a “monopoly on the legal use of force”.

Look no further than Florida to see what an overzealous government can do when you disagree with them or the police that raided a newspaper office because they reported on police corruption.

I’m much more worried about when the police are behind me because “I don’t look like I belong” in my own neighborhood than the Google car mapping my street.
I believe my contributions start at Image 25 on Google. Images 1-24 are generic CPU boilerplate images that the lawyers add to most patents in the field.
Variables are expanded in this case so the sorting is already lost :-)
The most common reason I can think of a server wanting the string length is because it's enforcing a character limit in some field, in which case it does what the user expects. You aren't often manually managing memory in Swift. On top of that, Swift on server is probably rare to begin with.
so my (theoretical) company that optimizes to keep these costs lower shouldn't be able to compete on those fees?
Early Joiners and Startup Performance
Could a filter be added for the "remote in" column? I thought that the 3 lines indicates a filter but it doesn't work.
The background mode is not hurting anyone, it is the thrashing process that is hurting itself by using too much memory. This shows up as high CPU but, because it is in the background, the rest of the system performance should be largely unaffected. Anything with foreground priority will still be scheduled to run whenever it needs to.

Had the background process been allowed to keep growing its working set then foreground applications would be forced to page out, defeating the goal of having a background mode in the first place.

Well, for historical accuracy, Roku was first in regard to streaming devices you hooked up to your TV. Apple and the rest copied them. And it is pretty much obvious that Microsoft copied Apple (and yes, you can argue that Apple in turn copied PARC). But what makes Amazon copying things different is that they are a marketplace for other people's products and a maker of products themselves. That has an intrinsic conflict of interest.
There's an issue open on the rustc issue tracker that describes what's missing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48707 (reproducible builds is the big one)
Yes, you are out of touch.

US historically did not have lots of Chinese talent but USA was less Xenophobic post repeal of chinese exclusion ac and civil rights movement and as a result some Chinese people were able to move to USA. China at that time was dirt poor and had very low talent pool despite their large population.

With time China did a lot better and their talent pool grew non linearly, but US immigration laws remain outdated so how many people USA could take in remained the same and post trump there was targeted harassment of Chinese origin people in USA. A lot of people are moving back to china but the primary reason is red tape and harassment by American immigration agencies.

Sorry, been busy, still am busy, really. Besides habitat loss and pesticides, there's the impacts of domesticated animals and other human-originated animals. Those overlap with habitat loss to some degree, but feral cats, rats, dogs, grazing goats, sheep, cattle, starlings (in the US), and other non-native animals like fire ants (in the US), et al have have an impact past lost habitat and lots of species loss is driven by starlings, dogs, cats, and fire ants. Honeybees fit in there as another domesticated animal adding some environmental impact. I don't have a study handy, but those aren't too hard to find. Their impact includes spreading some diseases solitary bees are susceptible as well as reducing the resources for other pollinators.
Summarized in a WSJ article at https://www.wsj.com/business/entrepreneurship/startup-lose-e... archived at https://archive.ph/ksjlg with title and subtitle "When Startups Lose a Very Early Employee, They May Never Recover. A study also found that when an employee hired in the startup’s second year leaves, the impact is minimal"
"life doesn't actually work that way" - it absolutely does. When society fails to enforce laws, criminals step it. I lived through that reality during USSR collapse. I'm sure many other people in collapsing/collapsed countries can relate. Your movie experience is the one which isn't relevant, not mine lived experience.
does anybody else consider "how to win friends and influence people" a red flag whenever somebody mentions it as one of their favorite or most impactful books?
There are already fully generated display ads running on e.g. Apple News.

They are not very good.

Meta's thing is different. It's three specific workflows when you upload ads in narrow product categories that make sense.

This isn't meant to be a big educational comment about the digital ad industry which I work in. It's complicated, but Meta already knows who the clickers and buyers are, they tend to click and buy everything; if you select the conversion optimizations, track a purchase and report it to Meta, it isn't super material what the creative is. You pay an exorbitant cost per conversion, which doesn't change here. You save a ton of time setting up display ad assets though. It's a good, narrow, sensible application, but it isn't the Big Thing you'd expect them to do.
So basically, stop using smartphones, because it's fucking ridiculous to drop hundreds of dollars every 4 years on a device that is virtually the same thing as your old one. This is a huge joke, and Google and Apple need to do better or stop milking us. I was safer using a Nokia 3310 in 2007.
Show HN: Algora – Open source coding bounties
Hey HN! We’re Ioannis & Zaf, building Algora.io to help OSS projects reward their contributors & grow their communities.

1 min demo: https://twitter.com/algoraio/status/1641560954746839042

The context: contributing to open source helps developers gain experience, grow their networks & land jobs while helping maintainers ship product updates and push their projects forward for the whole community

The problem: there's too much work to be done in open source and not enough people contributing. Introducing payments can make contributing more accessible & benefit both sides, however today paid open source is scarce, low trust & high friction

Our solution: we built an app that streamlines open source bounties on Github

To date, OSS projects on the plaftorm have awarded $65,785 (600 bounties) to 188 contributors from 48 countries

Right now, 43 OSS projects (mainly Typescript, Rust & Scala) have made 242 bounties ($46,899) available to solve

To create bounties in your project, simply register, install our app in your repo(s) and use the /bounty command on issues

To solve bounties, submit a PR including the /claim command & connect with Stripe/Alipay to receive payouts

We also started a COSS founder podcast to share lessons & advice for building open source companies: https://youtube.com/@algora-io

We think it's now a great time to welcome new contributors & maintainers on the Algora platform - happy Hacktoberfest!

We are really excited to hear your feedback/questions and connect further: our emails are ioannis@algora.io & zafer@algora.io

Thank you!
A lot of these things are use-case dependent. Like the characteristics even of BM-25 varies a lot depending on whether the query is over or under specified, the nature of the query and so on.

I don't think there will ever be an answer to what is the best way of doing information retrieval for a search engine scale corpus of document that is superior for every type of queries.
Sorry about that, I’ll clarify the docs. You can self-host on Cloudflare, but the storage is R2/S3/S3-compatible blob storage.

Our tentative pricing is $25/month + $10/10k minutes of “open connection” time (per-document, not per-connection, so multiple users with the same doc open are not double-counted). Storage is free if you bring your own R2/S3 bucket, or a nominal fee if you use ours.

Unlike supabase we don’t do any of the relational stuff, but for Figma-like apps where a lot of documents are never touched, I think our hot/cold storage model can be significantly cheaper at scale than a hosted postgres database like supabase.
"The vehicle starting to randomly roll backwards is quite bad as it might take a while to notice for the driver."

Sure, drivers might be stupid.

"The driver might also leave the car while on hill hold,"

Sure, some drivers might be extremely stupid. I think it would be hard for the computer to figure out if the action was intended or not. Just look at ll the BS with automatic braking when trying to hook up a trailer to tow. There has to be a cutoff somewhere. If it's really a problem, then we need better driver testing is someone is really that dumb.

"if the parking brake can't be engaged by the computer."

Do any of them actually do this? All the ones I've seen use the regular brakes.

Yes, the hill assist was started to help people in a manual on a hill and I agree that there is more intention when using a third pedal. That's the tradeoff - a system that make the physical act easier while removing intention. Yeah, not having the system might be better in some ways. This shouldn't be that dangerous because we're dealing with stopped vehicles and slow speeds. The tradeoff is stopping many newbies from rolling back into the car behind them, vs hopefully tiny number of people who are so stupid as to exit the vehicle in the 1-2 seconds that the brake is still applied. Better to get rid of that last group with stricter testing.

It only creates a new workspace if you're connecting to your main Emacs' server. If you have a separate daemon launched with `emacs --fg-daemon=cli`, then connecting with `emacsclient --socket-name=cli` won't pollute your main Emacs with a new workspace:)
It's important to note that these probe models are very simple - they're "trained" by just doing a linear regression between the hidden activations and the desired output. This means that the probes can barely do any computation themselves, so if they work at all this is a strong indication that the signal they predict was already in the hidden activations.

For even more proof, see "Figure 5: Space and time neurons in Llama-2 models" for single neurons in LLMs that already encode this information, without even having to use a probe model to extract it.
I built a custom solution based on y-websocket that handles multiplexing and syncing multitudes of Ydocs at once; a single YDoc is not really enough for complex apps. I run the server myself; originally on GKE because I was learning it for work, but then once I went FT on LegendKeeper, k8s became super-overkill minus the learning context. Finally switching to Render after tiring of fighting weird K8s internal DNS issues.
That is why I wrote "in any reasonable implementation". Embedding
physical quantities in the type system is possible in many language
but is not practical. Hence why safety-critical software doesn't
contain declarations like yours. For example, what is the type of Inch
* Inch? What is the type of Inch / Inch? Sure, perhaps if NASA and
their subcontractors had used a common well-developed physical quantities library
then the bug could have been caught during compile-time. But I think
it is a moot point since most people don't use such libraries.
