I bet there is one way to climb that is easier than the other.

Being right-footed, I can do cross-over turns while ice-skating in one direction MUCH easier than the other.

However, not sure whether that translates to clockwise or counter-clockwise stairs being easier without trying it.

maybe it would be counter-clockwise? Right foot travels further?
Show HN: An AI app that lets you read up to 10 news articles in 60 seconds
Be gentle & humble HN, we're just beginning this journey. We still have A LOT of work to do on Tidby. However, we'd love your insights on improving its growth.

Current things we're improving:
- Article / summary quality
- Feed quality / improvements
- Onboarding across app
- Additional sources
- UI/UX improvements (not final design)

We've been diligently working on an app designed to summarize the news and create a social experience within it over time.

The future of Tidby:
~ Comments on articles.
~ Posting.
~ Newsrooms. (similar to a subreddit)
~ Related Articles.
~ Library expansion. Create groups, subtopics, etc.
~ Mood Reading. Enjoy articles / topics at certain times of the day instead of random.
~ Filters, filters, filters, & much more planned.

Not for who you or what you think will make Tidby great, but what would make Tidby useful for you?

Thank you for reading!
The roundness of everything is excessive. Hopefully this trend dies soon.
The insurance is private, the healthcare providers are private. Health insurance is mandatory. That pretty much describes Obamacare, except the Swiss will sue you for not having the mandatory health insurance.
I’m always puzzled when people say than git is hard, confusing etc. Is English hard to learn? Russian? Chinese? It depends, as always.

Yep, it’s a learning curve, and as deeper understanding comes, in more ways you start bending this great tool (git).

There is an endless ocean of toolings, helpers etc of all kinds, for all levels.

I’m not saying git is the best. There is no the best tooling in general. Fossil is great, git is great, and some other VCS. Pros and cons are everywhere.

git is a battle tested software. Who argues?
Great web app, great UX.

It’s an interesting idea, but I wonder if batteries in an outdoor vault somewhere would be better from a maintenance / fire safety perspective. Transmission losses might be minimized by keeping those batteries within the neighborhoods where their stored power would be used.
Thank you. 20 years would be for the VPN provider.

IMO you want to distinguish between advice that is tactical and short term or strategic and long term.

The best tactical advice tends to from people who were recently in a very similar position as you, had had approximately the same goal you have, and either achieved the goal or failed. You want a sample of both successes and failures. The less recent, the less useful the advice.

The best strategic advice tends to be from people who have accomplished things you want to accomplish, regardless of time distance. Their tactical advice is less useful (because it is often dated), but the strategic advice tends to be better. You again need a large sample size to filter out noise.
Bless this mess: Curated versus confessional clutter
The whole point is that pagecache does not cause any swap hits.

Oh my god, it's 2023 and we're still discussing this idea from 1970s.

Is that so hard to grasp? No, stuff gets evicted from the cache long before you hit the swap, which is by the way measured by page swap-out/in rate and not by how much swap space is used, which is by itself a totally useless metric.
LLMs have no real understanding, so of course they cannot self-correct. They can't even correct on command.

I had an example just today: I wanted an example of a piece of code using framework X to do task Y. I didn't realize that what I wanted is not possible.

The LLM I was using gave me code that worked, but did not do what I wanted. I pointed this out, so I then got code that syntactically did what I wanted, but could never work. This went back and forth twice, before I gave up.

The LLM was incapable of recognizing the falsity of its answers. It certainly wasn't capable of suggesting a different approach that would work (and yes, there was one, I found after a bit more research).
Apple does use Rust, though from job postings, we can infer it's more like network services than firmware.

Regardless though, I don't see how the implementation language of your firmware is locking you into a specific ecosystem, so this criticism seems misguided to me.
Then you should trust OpenAI when they said that they have already ran out of ideas to solve these issues? That they need need novel approaches to make further progress than they already have? Or do you mean that you don't trust anyone at all?

Unless millions of people install the plugin, that sort of thing would more or less have the same impact as making those comments out loud in an empty room.
This is nice if you only have to deliver in one format, but as soon as you want to show up on TVs you are stuck delivering in a lot of formats, and life gets complicated quickly.

Throw subtitles in multiple languages, and different audio tracks, into the mix, and all of a sudden streaming video becomes a nightmare.

Finally, if you are dealing with copyrighted materials, you have to be aware as to what country your user is physically residing in while accessing the videos, as you likely don't have a license to stream all your videos in every country all at once.

Throw this all into a blender and what is needed is a very fancy asset catalog management system, and that part right there ends up being annoyingly complicated.

The cold water bucket that needs to fall on people who fear monger job automation. These models are stumbling in a few steps. Nobody can go on vacation and leave AI do their job. What we can automate - is maybe 2-3 turns until it gets stuck - should be thousands of steps for real automation. It's almost 0% autonomy right now, how do we go from 0% to 1%?
I use pivot tables all the time. The concept is brilliant, but the Excel UI leaves a lot to be desired.

At first, you're amazed at the flexibility, but once you become comfortable, you suddenly hit the limitations. Can't sort by a calculated column, can't categorize without adding columns in the data, etc.

I looked at Quantrix for a while, and it was a bit too complex for practical purposes. I wonder if there are any decent PivotTable tools out there?

LoRA from Scratch
Hi there! I was interested in learning more about LoRA but I was having a hard time finding a good simple example of implementing LoRA, as most sources are training large models and use a combination of huggingface transformers and the loralib package the original LoRA authors wrote. As a result, I ended up writing a simple LoRA implementation from scratch in pytorch lightning, and I figured other people might find it helpful as a learning resource or springboard.

It’s not any more public than in America. Individuals pay their own health insurance premiums. Individuals who don’t have enough money can receive a subsidy from the canton: https://www.ch.ch/en/health/health-insurance/health-insuranc.... That’s exactly how Obamacare works. The cap at which the subsidy kicks in is almost the same, too: 8% of income in CH, 8.5% under Obamacare.

And on top of that the US has a fully publicly funded system, Medicaid.
Something can be urgent, but it doesn't matter if you don't do it.

Something can be important but not urgent - it doesn't matter if you do it later, but it's important that you do it at some point (but you maybe don't need to do it right away).

Something can be urgent and important - if you don't do it now, bad stuff will happen.

The full size is even worse. This is a direct screenshot from the full res video, red markup is my own: https://image.non.io/9cf685b1-bbbb-4dac-a6cd-5c698fb62dc3.we...

Full res video: https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/ori...

The full res clearly has an existing vid imported in where the color space was incorrect. The bottom right droid looks like it was exported as a gif in a reduced color space. This is extremely sloppy for a rebrand announcement.

Edit: It gets even better, the bottom gif doesn't loop for the entire duration of the video. It stops 13s into the 16s video.
My own guess - there’s already a bias towards right handedness. I assume that is related. I don’t know how these staircases were built but it may be that it’s slightly easier to build these staircases for right-handed people. And then maybe 30% of builders were left handed or some minority of the time the architect wanted to prioritize symmetry with another tower.

Parent is referring to rate of inflation (> 100% currently in AR, not remotely comparable to US), not to national debt.
Not sure about the post's article one, but yes on the ONS calculator. Basically one enters their expenditure by categories and it will calculate the overall inflation rate. Though personally I wasn't impacted by these two categories.

You can directly view by kind on ONS as well[1]. It states CPIH over 12 months rate in July 2023 is 5.4 for housing and 9.0 for health.

If you're referring to that rice-sized chip that was being soldered onto motherboards. IIRC, the authors of that piece on Bloomberg have a history of writing nonsense. This particular article got absolutely no external confirmation. The Risky Biz podcast had some good discussion around the time it came out.
Right now I'm basically trying to just re-create the TikTok / Youtube Shorts / Instagram Reels experience of infinitely scrolling videos.

Mostly just building for fun though.

You expect pop documentaries to contain evidence? I do not mean it as snark, it is just that evidence is something popular entertainment ia not even supposed to have.
I've always suspected that the constant push for new features has made it too complex to keep up with bugs. Every major release always has bugs left over from the last, plus new ones. Over time I've seen the UI go from pretty stable, to weird redraws, blanking, hanging, etc, which are nearly impossible to screenshot or reproduce, yet persist across versions and hardware; every release is just a bit worse. I don't envy their job
Advertising is meant to be one way, your message unchallenged.
You can technically create an Android app without any Java code. There are native APIs for graphics and input. However, as these are intended for games, you get a window into which you can draw... something. With OpenGL, for example. You don't get access to Android's regular UI framework. You will also have to go through the Java layer to do many things you might want to do — like requesting permissions or launching other apps' activities.

Here's all the APIs you get: https://developer.android.com/ndk/reference?hl=en

That would inevitably spiral into spam in ad comments.
Usually if the siege got to the point where attackers were IN YOUR TOWERs, then the next logical step would have been to either surrender or collapse the tower on the attackers to win a tactical victory.

I am willing to bet $10000, that the number of sieges won or lost due to a staircase fight between knights is 0.

Also I wonder what led to this hypothesis being created in the first place? That's a much more interesting question to me. Was it some eccentric historian just inventing it?

To some, it might be worth turning off adblocking for the humor appeal. It might even be a way of making more interesting advertising. For example, the ad could be "butter, butter, butter" and the ad comments are "Parkay."

Starting in 1973, a long-running advertising campaign was introduced for Parkay featuring a mechanically animated "talking tub" of the product. A typical ad depicted a sort of humorous verbal sparring match between a container of Parkay repeatedly saying "Butter" and a human actor insisting that it is actually Parkay. When the spokesperson tastes the product, they conclude that its creamy texture and buttery taste mean it really is butter, to which the container replies, "Parkay."

Users can easily feel one frame of latency at 60hz given enough visual feedback (pixels in this case). It gets harder at 120hz and above. I have a toy editor with Ropey and WGPU, just added a 100ms wait on char insert and it's rubber banding when typing fast.
Thanks that observation is extremely helpful. If I have it down then the intended flow looks something like?

- Web client is directed to some token vending service. This service implement authn in a manner of its choosing (i.e. OAuth) then sets a NATS client JWT in the cookie per https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/configuration/se...
- Nats.ws client connection provides cookie during connection to perform client auth
- If further authz/fine-grained control is needed the auth callout mechanism can be used. This would have access to the provided cookie/token so any claims needed for access control could be stapled on during step one and used at this point?

For GPs original question -- I'm running a fairly old Keycloak version (v8) but it does appear to set a JWT in KEYCLOAK_IDENTITY and KEYCLOAK_IDENTITY_LEGACY.

Am I right in understanding that IFF the token is signed with Ed25519 and both sub and iss are an NKEY value this is sufficient for NATS to accept that cookie as a credential?
"interacting with it remotely through a computer network" isn't "distributing", it's hosting. Companies providing software under Affero licenses love to play with words. That's fine. It remains a bad license for users. I choose not to use any software licensed under its terms.
AI is available to all and very consistent.

If there were a universally known and evaluatable real-person judge which all teenagers could consult, I think that would be an issue too. Maybe one reason it's so significant for humanity is that real-world judges are never really trustable. i.e. in elementary school, everyone looks up to different people, maybe a coach, and older brother in middle school, etc but there is diversity, and you can challenge opinions about who is cool, stylish, a loser, nice, etc. There really isn't much of a unifying, judging force between groups even in the same school, let alone city to city.

With youtubers etc we got a new mechanism for delivering (generic) opinions to masses of people and unify their views that way. i.e. pewds can demonstrate an attitude and way to be to every kid in the country. or a fashion tiktoker can spread very niche styles etc. But there was no input.

But now imagine if a makeup-teacher tiktoker also had a custom GPT-V bot with a real voice, which could judge your images or live video, give you points, praise or condemn you, rank you among your friends, etc. and you couldn't hide it or run away. That seems pretty big, actually.

Imagine watching some goth channel in the 1990s but... you could literally talk to someone elite and famous who made the music and art... and hang out with them, absorb their views, be judged, network, pay, etc. That would be pretty powerful.

This realistically. This is why I can't leave Facebook. There is no platform that all of my friends have some kind of presence on. Some of us have discord. Some us use whatapp. Some of us use $platform, but Facebook is the only one that all of use have at least a login to. There are like 100 of us. I don't know all of them, but my friends want to invite people I don't know and I invite people they don't know and here we are in our 30s still stuck on this situation for big get togethers. Email and text just doesn't work. I don't have have the emails and honestly I'm not all that interested in my friend's sister in law's contact information. This is how Facebook has chained me to it. The network effect is real when you need to keep 2nd and 3rd degree friends in the loop. I can't leave because of people I don't even know.

This is a lot of words about things that probably don't matter.

IMO: the bottleneck of lookup tables is concisely described as follows: 2 or 3 lookups in L1 cache per cycle on modern CPUs, and 10x fewer to 500x fewer depending on how far away (L2, L3, DDR near, or DDR remote).

Meanwhile, modern CPU instructions like AES, Multiply, XOR, ADD and more can effectively operate 3, 4, or even more times per clock tick regardless of circumstances.

--------

Don't even talk about cache hierarchies. You are already behind at the L1 cache level due to the relatively few load/store units in modern CPU (or GPU) cores. And hitting L2 or L3 cache gets exponentially worse.
I sure hope you don't make safety critical decisions. If you look at the history of failures in modern complex systems you almost always see that it happens as a series of unlikely events (or events that someone deemed impossible), that let to catastrophic failure.

That's the whole point of multiple safety mechanisms, have backups in case one fails. If you start removing the backup mechanisms (e.g. through improper maintanance like it is the case here) you reduce the overall safety of the system. Does that mean certain catastrophic failure in case the system is needed? Probably not, but it increases the likelyhood of a chain of events that lead to it.

The main news here is not that they had cracks in the pipes, the main news is that over the last 20 odd years the operator never bothered to do a proper fix instead opting for the (likely cheaper) quick fix.

Ideally, Android wouldn’t have any security vulnerabilities, but that’s not realistic. Rust won’t prevent every bug (and it’s even possible to cause segmentation faults in an ostensibly safe language like Python), but “better” is still a huge leap forward.
Alvis: Never Get Paged Again
Good. Every workplace should be a union workplace.
I don't think it's a good idea, mainly because android is multiplatform and rust, by it's nature, is only available for what it's built for. Unless you are giving google your rust code to compile, your app will be limited on it's reach.

All that said.

Rust doesn't have a GC so it'd (likely) have a lower memory consumption and could possibly be lighter on the CPU.

Native compilation helps mainly with startup time and memory consumption. It's not exactly great for runtime performance as it takes away some key optimizations.

Another benefit of rust assuming you are distributing binaries is you'll be able to use the latest version of Rust rather than being pinned to older versions of the SDK with partial support based on the whims of google.

1. There's a huge difference between a private entity launching civil lawsuits and the DoJ launching criminal lawsuits

2. I don't know what specific case you're referring to by "MPAA and RIAA [...] go after little old grandmas for their love savings", but the relevant laws likely predated mp3s and filesharing programs, so it's not clear how "we thought might otherwise go unpunished" would apply here. If anything it's the reverse. The laws existed, and people thought they wouldn't apply to them for whatever reason and ignored them.
Thank you for this. The medical industry is in dire need of transparency. Next up would be pricing and costs!
I would say that for any modern unix implementation mmaped pages are quite significant, as all the read-only copies of libc code, other shared libraries and various mmaped data files (iconv tables, locales, terminfo, gettext catalogs…) are not exactly small.
