My criticism is not so much on NixOS itself. If it wants to be a fun, composable, and easy to work on with minimal participation friction, fair enough. The yolo approach to contribution integrity has clearly resulted in fast development of ideas that might have been unable to grow in other distros.

I suppose where my, perhaps misdirected, anxiety comes from is that I run a security consulting company and see NixOS being used as-is in high risk applications, to compile binaries responsible for protecting peoples property or safety, and on the workstations of production engineering teams. Places where it has no business being because supply chain integrity is a non goal.

Maybe you are right though, and the answer is not trying to add supply chain security practices onto a community that does not want them, but to create a security focused fork of that distro that can inherit all that great community work and be a drop-in replacement for NixOS in environments where supply chain security is of critical importance.

I tried and failed to get buy-in for even -optional- expression integrity support back in 2018 and gave up on nix after that. https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/34

I did prototype a git multisig solution in the years following that though:
https://git.distrust.co/public/supsig
https://git.distrust.co/public/git-sig

It is already being used in production by some as nothing better exists atm.

A security focused Nix fork that imports, reviews, and git-sig (or similar) signs commits from NixOS and has signature verification built into the package manager, is probably the only way forward, and I would be willing to ally with others interested in this.
A more boilerplate solution would be to use something like ZMK (or a similar "keyboard") OS. ZMK uses Zephyr RTOS and is quite feature-rich. A macropad should not be very difficult to make. Reddit's r/ergomechkeyboards may be a good starting point.
If it's a generational gap it has nothing to do with thinking people must listen to me. It's about simply being a polite human. I know that's difficult for some people. Because the results are always the same. The people who don't care to listen because their self entitlement is so strong they can't comprehend others actually exist as well, they'll complain that "I wasn't told" When it's really you didn't listen.

"Hey, we're buying pizza for lunch. What kind do you want"

...

"Hey the pizza is here"

...

(Some time later) "Why did no one tell me about the pizza, it's all gone now" (continues the bitching about missing out for the rest of the day)

That's the problem with that attitude you're displaying. You think you're so important no one has anything if value to say, but then you don't accept the responsibility for your self absorbed attitude.

The fact that you don't see it is prime evidence of the problem. If you're living in your own world then live in it. Because you're also missing my comment that they themselves wouldn't want to be treated this way. Don't try and have it both ways that no one can talk to you, but others must listen to you.

Same way as every other English word - the spelling seems unrelated to the pronunciation.

I've never heard this word. Is the 'gh' part pronounced as in though or as in tough?
Oh gotcha, you’re right.
I don’t see how that’s discord’s fault though, blame the project leaders. They must have their reasons. Maybe for projects in active development, content from years ago just isn’t relevant anymore anyway.
Agreed.

I only had one sign something was amiss - a small amount of bright red blood in my stools, once. No pain, no discomfort. But it alarmed me enough to schedule a colonoscopy, a procedure I hadn't had before. The doc told me not to worry, as it was probably just a hemorrhoid.

Before the procedure, the doctor was cordial and animated. As I was waking up afterward, his composure was totally changed - a sign something was wrong. He told me he found a mass, and scheduled a CT scan for the next day. That scan showed I had stage IV colon cancer, with metastases in my lymph nodes and liver.

Other than that single blood sign, I had no indicator whatsoever of the dire situation. Thankfully, I was admitted to MD Anderson, where I firmly believe I had the best team possible treating me. I have a good amount of collateral damage as a result of the treatment, but remain cancer free. I am grateful to still be here, as several of my friends with similar diagnoses aren't.

I am definitely pro-colonoscopy. The short-term discomfort of the prep is nothing in comparison with 12 rounds of chemo.
Thanks!

I wouldn't expect them to be lying but there to be some data hiding in the "average" part of the ARPU. We often want the median or some other percentile, not the mean.

"We define ARPU as our total revenue in a given geography during a given quarter, divided by the average of the number of MAUs in the geography at the beginning and end of the quarter."

So that is about what I expected. I'm not going to dig into this but it could be very meaningful or extremely misleading. Interesting though.
> authority figures were generally incompetent for the role they were fulfilling

The problem is: who judges competency? If you make yourself the sole judge, you're setting yourself up as the authority (meta-authority?) which can seem "arbitrary and capricious" to others. I say this because I've been there. I almost got fired once for using the exact phrase "arbitrary and capricious" too many times in a big public meeting. I've had feelings like you describe, and it often led to unnecessary conflict. One thing that reduced that conflict was the recognition that calling people incompetent - and particularly saying so to their faces - was a form of escalation. It literally never helped. See: almost fired.

> they behaved in arbitrary and capricious way

I think this is the part that really matters. They behaved. Not were. As you say, rules have value. Rules can even provide a level of comfort, if they are well justified, if they are applied fairly and consistently. The problems come when people act like they have the unilateral right to change or reinterpret the rules. Doesn't work for them, or for you, or for me. The productive response IMO is not to pit self-assumed authority (or meta-authority) against self-assumed authority, but to focus on the rules and the system and what needs to happen regardless of who is in what position relative to those.
I haven't, but it looks like it's a Git repo hosting solution? This issue with using Git with data directly, is you generally loose the per-row/feature change information. With common binary GIS data formats, just putting them into Git looses a lot of the utility and will blow out the size of the repo as you apply changes.

Kart gives you row-level tracking, so you can see who made what change & when, and diffs small and fast to apply.

I have a cousin in exactly the same boat. I think people don't realize that a third of actual autistic people functionally can't speak and 75% of them are unemployed. They would rather have a normal life, and probably don't enjoy hearing about "quirky" celebrities who got diagnosed by some monkey psychiatrist.

I don't think the DSM-5 is unreasonable. Seems like it's just misapplied. https://depts.washington.edu/dbpeds/Screening%20Tools/DSM-5(.... Even under DSM-4, how many of these Tiktok diagnosees would qualify as Aspergers? https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/autism/case-modules/pdf/... lists the same kind of criteria as is in the DSM-5.

The self diagnosers sort of forget that you're supposed to have all of the things listed: persistent communication deficit, repetitive behaviors, symptoms present in childhood, and symptoms that limit and impair everyday functioning. You can't just only have one because it's a "spectrum."

Looking at the DSM-5 list: when I was little I made eye contact with almost nobody and refused to go on play structure equipment if there was someone else on it. I still like having a "schedule" all the time and am sensitive to sounds - who isn't? But I don't have autism: I can hold a conversation fine and don't have impaired function in everyday life.
reducing our overall energy demand

As a realist, I think you understand the fault in this logic. If we can incentivize the production of renewable energy via 'crypto credits' during down time it will alleviate the hesitation of upfront investment.

This idea is the genesis of currency in Mesopotamia. Offsetting seasonal harvests via "tokens" that allow farmers to subsist all year. Storage alone won't solve everything.
Fifty-five year old true story: I was dating a woman in Buffalo; we're both native speakers. She tells me to meet her at a place on "Gothee" Street, over in the Lovejoy district.

I bike over to the east side of town, and search all over for Gothee Street. No luck. Ask a few locals - nada. Spend a half hour looking; eventually give up.

Next morning, there's hell to pay. She waited an hour for me.

What happened? "It's Goethe Street, stupid," she says" "G O E T H E"

I had no idea of this super-local pronunciation -- I'd always pronounced the poet's name as "G uh - t uh"

(Similar thing happened in a town near Rochester, New York: How do you pronounce Chili, NY ? You'd better say "Chy - Ly" unless you want to sound like a stranger.)
But why would I want to sound like a native?

- English accent: monocle vibes

- Australian accent: Crocodile Dundee (badass but I can’t embody that)

- Standard American accent: incredible “twang” (sounds like all wovels are sent through a wah-wah pedal)

I've been searching for a great quality PS5 controller that has the left thumb stick in a neutral position and doesn't cost $250. On the rare days when get a chance to play a longer session, I can use the Xbox or Switch Pro controllers for hours without issues, but I hardly touch my PS5 because the left thumb stick requires such a stretch that my thumb tendon already starts to get sore after 15 minutes.

I understand the business logic, but I wish the console manufacturers would allow more portability between them.
I got a really cool vanity email address, back in the early days of gmail. But the downside of that is 100s of goofball people around the world randomly guessing it when they want to put some bullshit value in a field on a web form. The worst was when my address got posted to to some indian jobs forum, under a title like "test job" - I got dozens of applications per hour for a few days. I had to make filters to block all email that included the words "bangalore", "delhi", or "hyderabad".

Anyway, the job applications have died down, but I still get plenty of others for people who are creating accounts. I unsubscribe when I can, and "mark spam" when I can't.
>How is tsunami frequency established to be influenced by anthropomorphic climate change?

The connection between the frequency of tsunamis and global temperature is mediated through several mechanisms such as sea level rise, glacial melting, ocean acidification which affects seabed stability, and the destruction of natural barriers such as coral reef systems.
If you're an IC at an Oracle customer and you have to interact with their products, you may have a very valid reason to hate them.

The people who make purchasing decisions love them. As long as you pay the ransom, Oracle loves you back. The lawyers can be very friendly if you know to stay on their good side.
Probably a bit worse. Most everything they make is true garbage, and no one really cares. Letting their software into your business is definitely cancer-like.

However when I worked there it was extremely comfy, so as an employer I would rate it very highly. Very remote friendly too!

Well, Tesla has lost 20%+ of its value during these negotiations, so it sounds like you have some knowledge here that other investers don't.

FYI Having a company founded by a union member and having it be a union shop from the start is exceedingly common among the trades (where most unions are). There are also various similar processes such as co-ops, or granting shared equity among founders who also have voting rights which are very similar concepts to unions.

Show HN: Train AI to generate questions and collect data
Hey everyone,

I was doing research for a different product using Google Forms and was struggling with form completion. Maybe that product wasn’t a great idea, but I did some digging and learned that forms in general have a high abandonment rate (+ 60%). I thought, what if I fed GPT a bunch of data points and let AI decide how to collect it.

We prototyped a chatbot that dynamically generated questions based on how users interacted with it, shared a direct link and people were way more engaged, seeing completion rates over 80%

We ended up building out a GPT chat product that replaces forms. You just tell AI what data to collect and it autonomously decides what questions to ask, when to ask them, and how to ask them to collect data, and delivers the data to Google Sheets. You can train it using your own business data so it will generate responses, but its primary function is to generate questions, collect and deliver data.

Obvious use-case is lead generation, but it's useful for general research and feedback collection, even recruiting.

Shameless link share, but I dropped it on Product Hunt and we would love support (It was engineered by a teenager so showing support there can be motivating for a teen interested in CS and AI)

Huh, so a bit like git blame? And then you would merge together the chunks/edits which are most stable? That sounds awesome!!

I suppose you can't really count on the same text/markup being shifted around as articles get split and modified in the ways you've described. Also I suppose there is no such thing as a cross-article edit in MediaWiki terms iirc. Use vector embeddings? Throw an LLM at the problem? Rate editors on their familiarity with a given topic area (and track how that evolves over time)?

The idea of using edit information in addition to the raw text written by editors seems like it's extracting additional bits of information from human interactions.

I might have read some idea in a HN comment of training AI not just on code, but on how that code is edited in a git repo, or maybe I am just imagining it.

My question back would be: why _is_ child labor the only alternative to extreme poverty or starvation? Why can't adults be paid a sufficient wage to avoid starvation, or why can't our society provide for these children without requiring them to work?

The fact that things are that way currently, is not an argument that things should be that way. It's worth discussing what in the current system necessitates that children work or starve, and whether that's fixable.
Well yeah, but tanks are a "living" thing, they get modified, updated, upgraded... more than a year has gone by from when the russians put "cope cages" on, the "international community" (eu, us, au) lauged, and the germans are still holding a comitee if mounts for the cope-cage poles should use M10 or M12 nuts and bolts. It's been almost two years now, it's not a hard modification.
Well, of course whoever is buying the chocolate doesn't want the workforce to die, so they're going to give them the absolute minimum to keep productivity at a particular level.

No, GP specifically said it “enables” it, not that it contributes to it.

If they meant to say “contributes to,” then the obvious question is: to what degree and for what benefit? Which is a very different conversation than a binary “enabling” of a bad outcome.
I have it working with WebCodecs, but currently i-frames only videos and all the decoded frames are read to memory. Not impossible to lift these restrictions, but the current WebCodec API will likely make it a bit brittle (and/or janky). For my current case this is not a big problem so I haven't fought with it too much.

Figuring out libav.js demuxing may be a bit of a challenge, even though the API is quite nice as traditional AV APIs go. I'll put out my small wrapper for these in a few days.

Edit: to be clear I don't have anything to do with libav.js other than happening to find it and using it to scratch my itch. Most demuxing examples for WebCodecs use mp4box.js which really makes one a bit uncomfortably intimate with guts of the MP4 format.
There are many different things that can add up to a diagnosis of autism. Some people on the spectrum lack prosody and this routinely gets them in trouble with authority figures who literally "don't like your tone."

Subconscious tone matching is a means of signaling who is in authority and who is being deferential. If you can't tone match, cashiers and other "servant class" type roles won't care and may think you are wonderful for not being verbally abusive like a lot of their customers, but authority figures -- teachers, police, etc -- will hate you the second you open your mouth and there is no remedy for it.

They don't even consciously know what their issue is with you. You just grate on them and they just feel disrespected and can't put their finger on it.

No amount of coaching or trying to use more politically correct language fixes this, just like you don't stop being blind or deaf from coaching. It's a disability, a thing you just cannot do, and it can have disastrous consequences in some situations, like when dealing with the police.
