Very interesting. Will this cover all subreddits, or all above a certain size?

I've switched fully off of reddit in protest, and have turned to HN and Lemmy as imperfect replacements. The main remaining thing I've noticed reddit excels at is researching things like product recommendations.

Searching a keyword on BIFL, along with poking through various threads on whatever niche community might exist for the topic, has been one of the most reliable and useful ways to get a sense for what brands or models are best when considering a purchase.

So far Lemmy is not close to replacing this so it would be compelling if your project could change that.
The history of computing is intimately tied with government investment and academic research. Hence ARPAnet and ALOHA. The impetus for world changing innovation tends to come from governments trying to improve things that are structurally inefficient.

> What makes 1.5C key? Why not 2C

This is like asking why a specific number of cigarettes per day (or a specific level of alcohol consumption) is bad — it's all bad (given we go faster than evolution can keep up), but the more you do, the greater the risk.

The reason we don't aim for "0 C" is that this is too hard, just as giving up smoking is too hard for most. Think of this as a "SMART" goal: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely.

As a separate point:

The timescales on [2] would make all of human history since the evolution of Homo Sapiens a single pixel. It isn't capable of supporting your claim that "earth's temperature has risen fast in the past" in comparison to that done by anthropogenic effects.

> That said, if you really want to make a dent, start tackling the shipping industry rather than the individual.

We have to do as much as possible everywhere in every aspect. This includes shipping, even though it's one of the lower-emitting sectors even when combined with aviation: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-emissions-by-sector

> The emissions from these ships is also likely directly acidifying our oceans too.

Yes, although ironically for this reason the world switched away from sulphur-rich shipping fuels about a year ago, and… the temperature immediately went up because those sulphur compounds were seeding high-altitude clouds that reflected a lot more sunlight.
From what I understand this is creating abstract "rules" and statements that can instantiated into question and answer datasets to train future versions of a model.

As someone who really agrees with the previous poster, this may be the crucial point. I can "disbelieve" the stuff that I think is stupid cashgrab sequel crap, specially if it was not made by the original author.

Because think about it, if someone somewhere made a bad fanfic, would it ruin the previous media? Obviously not, right? So why is it different when it's a billion dollar media company that bought the right to slap the "official" name and logo on their fanfic*? If you don't like it, ignore it. If you like it, then great more media of the franchise you enjoy!

Its a horror in a different way. Because after this - your society is dead. The children may recover the innosence, but can you thrust any adult of your group ever again after that? Its the same effect that the survivor of mao, stalin and the likes share. You just know to much about humanity and the other to ever trust them again.
Federal land is ‘in trust for American citizens in perpetuity’.

That means that in different years different generations will need or want different uses for the land that may seem counter intuitive, but there’s a method to the madness

The EPA does not currently require 100% hazmat clean up of any offshore properties due to cost prohibitive clean up and lack of shipping and storage of contaminated topsoil

…so islands are used for live fire ranges and given varying degrees of warm fuzzy land designations like ‘wild life refuge’ because they are not usually fit for human inhabitants and it costs money the more upkeep/stewardship an area needs …ie the most basic upkeep is fire suppression

But because it’s federal land any entity that can challenge successfully for an activity permit can arrange ‘incidental takes’ and do permitted activities

Unfortunately well-meaning eco non profits use their status to do ‘discreet land conveyance’ under the auspices of ‘creating wild life corridors’ …

it’s a quick and dirty way of getting land owners who wouldn’t normally want to sell to the government but will sell to an eco non profit, who simply conveys the land back to the government anyway, while parcel swapping like trading cards to make ‘wild life corridors’ that often don’t work as intended.

The government can’t currently afford the stewardship cost of all the lands that gets conveyed back, so counter intuitive uses are in effect to help pay

…that’s how an island that can seem pristine can become a wild life refuge with degrees of hazmat-contaminated topsoil that gets target practice bombing on Tuesdays

As for the historical artifacts, historical artifacts are managed via Section 106 of permitting, there are protocols of prioritizing artifacts so that we save what we can but build over if needed, otherwise we’d never get anything done if every burial ground was forbidden to use in perpetuity

What usually makes headlines is when certain tribes complain about the Section 106 permitting, especially if it’s a national utility such as a fuel pipeline. National utilities get higher priority that allows for a ‘streamlined’ version of Section 106 permitting, much to the chagrin of people who don’t know or understand or use their citizen rights, responsibilities, and privileges to learn or change the process.

As for military bases they are huge economic boosters for towns that have them, ergo when their mission changes, or when a different platform gets a higher priority and the bases close some towns try to fund raise to keep them open, but it’s rarely successful more than a few years.

The bases may sit in various stages of disrepair for years before being refurbished for a different mission by the federal government or conveyed back to state/local government and re-purposed.

Codepage 1047, which is EBCDIC based, supports all the same characters that ISO8859-1 (latin 1) does. This includes diacritic characters. Beyond that, IBM mainframes also work with UTF-16 natively. Can't the Dutch bank upgrade their mainframe?
sentence-transformers is excellent. It will be slow on CPU but, because it’s on top of pytorch, does have apple silicon/GPU support.
I get these missed beats occasionally, like a few times a year. Of course, they’re stress related for me. When I first got them, I also thought it was a heart attack and ended up in the hospital where they also ran a bunch of tests on me.

The wonderfully comical thing about mine is they’re stress related. So the first one happened, made me a little stressed because I thought something was wrong, which caused more of them, which made me even more worried, etc.
My favorite references in Kurt Vonnegut's world are two family members: his early-deceased sister, who taught him that "nobody HAS to use their talents;" and his Uncle Alex, who taught him that "if this isn't nice, I don't know what is" [suitable to be said at any time, any moment].

Your world is nothing more than your perception(s).
In that case, all the informally-specified bug-ridden program needs to be is fast to beat expectations.
That’s exactly my point, it ISN'T self explanatory when it’s mathematical code like this, expressed in terms of addition and multiplication. Understanding the dot product as “sum of multiplications” is an extremely shallow understanding, and in no way does it explain why taking the dot product and dividing by magnitudes (What are those? Root of sum of squares? Why?) produces anything useful.

This code says nothing about the geometric nature of what is going on, only the arithmetic. Then we might as well read assembler. Abstractions help us reason.
Thanks! I went rural, but still southwestern Ontario, looking at going out west or just leaving Canada altogether next.
In the same way that dbt has established a foundational format for relational data transformation, dlt seems poised to establish a more ubiquitous solution for batch data pipelines. Native upsert "relational-ization" with configurability is a huge challenge that data engineers have been fighting for decades. Obviously, this library will not replace Kafka setups or more intensive streaming jobs, but there are so many custom CRON scripts in the universe doing exactly this. Would be a big win to see some standardization to Python and an OSS tool like this.
Because for some reason many C programmers still insist on 80-character line length limit and 8-wide tab indentation, so something has to give to fit all on the screen
This isn't the right summary. Firefox uses it own root store still and ignores any certificates distributed by default in the OS. However, if the user installs their root to the OS, Firefox will also pick it up. This is how other browsers work.

While agree with your sentiment and logic in it’s entirety I guess a difficult pill to swallow would be the fact that someone would ultimately be making money from images, albeit fake, of child abuse.
Worsening of economy by what measure? The argument is circular if you're saying "less profit is made in economic setups which encourage not-for-profit activity". It hardly seems like a reasonable criticism.

More interesting is what people would achieve if their time wasn't dedicated to profit seeking. The measure of success then may be the subjective usefulness of someone's contributions. It is a big subject but waving it away as you have isn't a satisfactory answer at all
Thanks! Adding image generation with AI should be possible. I have ideas for future releases and will add this one too. I originally planned to give users the ability to select an image from some database in future, a so-called inspiration image for those who don't know what to paint. Possibility to generate an inspiration image using AI sound like a great improvement to selecting image from some database.
The fear is probably shitty corporate networks. So not a real issue.

Yeah I'm building a few things on Vercel and the whole incident has me pretty sketched out.
I'm Russian and I have to live with three similar names: my real one written in Cyrillic, the stupid transliteration into Latin I have in my international passport (and by extension everywhere I show it abroad), and Gregory when I introduce myself to someone who doesn't speak Russian.

Will a bank in a country that doesn't use the Cyrillic alphabet agree to write my name in Cyrillic? I'm 99% sure no. So, organizations fully supporting the writing system of the country in which they operate is a reasonable expectation. But I never expect anyone abroad to agree to write my name in an alphabet they can't even read.

Tangentially, Turkey renamed itself in English into "Türkiye". This suffers from the same issue — there is no letter ü in English. No one knows how to spell that. So it's no surprise the new name didn't stick.
Yeah. Actors and the BEAM are just the runtime. On top of that you build your system/domain logic and part of that is persisting state at regular intervals and being able to restore that state from any kind of failure. You build a durable app, or you don’t.

“It’s commonly known under the name durable execution, and is so new that most developers have never heard of it”

Serious? I feel like this post is very naive and perhaps disingenuous in thinking that Erlang/Elixir developers are not accounting for this. I’ve been building apps this way for a long time, regardless of language.

Rewriting everything in rust doesn’t solve any of these issues. State is state.

This tool is literally dagster or prefect but it’s claiming to be a revolutionary new idea.
The third player would have been Linux + Qt.

You can already do this quite well. Check out my product: https://picoapps.xyz/ We allow you to interact with backend APIs including some builtin integrations like OpenAI and image generation. We do some basic custom backend generation as well.
Bing's DALL-E 3 is bleeding edge and a huge leap forward in prompt comprehension. Explained by the fact that it uses GPT-4 as the text encoder, so… similar performance probably not available on your local SD instance in the near future.
If I understand correctly, the protocol stack is built on TCP, but they use different IP protocol numbers, so a router or firewall may easily pass TCP, but not MPTCP(either by configuration or age).
This is a "fun with art" app for learning art skills (as opposed to an app for working artists).

Some things of note:

- Drawing from photos (a flattened image) teaches you to draw what the camera sees, not what you see.

- Picking colors from a photograph is a quick way to choose muddy colors.

Of all the BSDs, I'm only a little familiar with OpenBSD through its OpenSSH fame, so I'm a little surprised to hear that a (probably) somewhat related project would use XML in a system call. In other words, if an OpenSSH release introduced XML as a wire format I'd assume it to be an April fools's joke. [1] But I guess OpenBSD and NetBSD are less related than I thought.
I'm not the biggest fan of this product, but I do have to say that they're pretty intentional about this not being meant for production code. It's more for testing out ideas, hence the name "v0" as in "what happens well before a v1."

Off topic: if you extrapolated that math, it should be hugely encouraging to aspiring indie/solo developers that you can earn a fantastic income as a 1-2 person business.
Walking has a direct casual impact on markers of cardiovascular health like vo2 max. I have no idea whether anyone has the funding to establish causality for exercise and all-cause mortality, but it would be astonishing if exercise improved your heart and circulation but not lifespan.

Edit: At least, astonishing if the effect persisted across multiple large and high quality studies.
>So Judas was setup by God? Give him a test that he will fail?

Yes. My theology is rusty, but that is supposed to be what sin is. Nobody is free from it, everybody is tempted and fails.

Judas' great crime wasn't selling Jesus for forty silver, Peter is supposed to have committed the same crime by thrice denying Jesus (that never made sense to me, but it's what I was told). Peter realized what he had done, repented, and returned to Jesus while Judas realized what he had done and let his guilt drive him to suicide. He "betrayed" Jesus' forgiveness.

The brain doesn't run software it's an organ inside the body.

If you mean can we simulate a brain inside a computer the answer is no we can't it's unlikely that we can without building something similar to the brain which is why this product is a thing.

The physicality is important here.
The only other neighboring state is Egypt and they get billions of dollars a year from the US as a condition of their peace with Israel.

Between that and the blockade of their coast, they're 100% sealed off from any trade, fishing or immigration that Israel doesn't choose to allow.

Maybe "occupation" isn't the right word but they don't get to act like an independent state.

> it was limited to a short period of time in 2017 between when the battery management behavior changed and when the UI warnings were added

You are technically right, but important part you are missing is that the Apple's behavior has only ended after they were sued.

Which things? All code is FLOSS btw.
I what the previous poster said counts as social engineering not clairvoyance.
Looks like Flawless goal is to persist the intermediate state of some workflow and restart it from midpoint in case of a failure. That's quite different from Erlang, which was mostly aimed at developing software while having access only to prototype versions of hardware with multiple hardware issues. To me this approaches are opposite: Flawless will be stuck in a loop trying to finish a workflow that crashes in the middle, while Erlang will happily discard 50% of the traffic that somehow hits the hardware bug.
Yes it's pretty common :). I did notice the funny looking spelling after I hit reply but there was no way to edit it.

It looks like Invicti has done some work in this space [1]. I'm sure you've seen this pretty good Stack Exchange discussion on the topic [2, 3].

As you say, the boutique shops aren't going to be relying on automated scans, they're going to have engineers who'll use their experience, knowledge and personal tooling (metasploit modules etc.)

Fitzgerald's thesis in this passage is that the western powers' prosperity in the 1890s and 1910s - and, more broadly, the social capital built by their national identies across the entire 19th century - created a generation "tough" enough to endure their unspeakable mutual slaughter on the western front.

If he is correct, then it refutes the proposition that prosperous societies are "soft".
You're supposed to have free will, but nobody is immune to the temptations of sin and at some point even the holiest men fail. Jesus forgives all if you ask.
This seems... not the same as Erlang at all? Erlang solves the problem of persistent state by essentially eliminating it: more or less all state exists in message queues, or in an external database or something. Flawless seems to solve that problem with a technique similar to, but not quite the same as, filesystem journaling: take note of your side effects when performing them. In the case of filesystem journaling it's so that you can redo them if you crash, but in this case it's so that you don't need to.

It's not entirely clear to me how well this would work in which domains, but the overlap with domains where Erlang works well seems less than total.

- ILikeDarkChocolateWhatever

and so on.
Show HN: Tonic Validate Metrics – an open-source RAG evaluation metrics package
Hey HN, Joe and Ethan from Tonic.ai here. We just released a new open-source python package for evaluating the performance of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

Earlier this year, we started developing a RAG-powered app to enable companies to talk to their free-text data safely.

During our experimentation, however, we realized that using such a new method meant that there weren’t industry-standards for evaluation metrics to measure the accuracy of RAG performance. We built Tonic Validate Metrics (tvalmetrics, for short) to easily calculate the benchmarks we needed to meet in building our RAG system.

We’re sharing this python package with the hope that it will be as useful for you as it has been for us and become a key part of the toolset you use to build LLM-powered applications. We also made Tonic Validate Metrics open-source so that it can thrive and evolve with your contributions!

Please take it for a spin and let us know what you think in the comments.
