That book helped someone I know he was mostly face blind.

Recently I was listening to a discussion where someone was trying to explain her synesthesia about time to a bunch of people who didn't experience that. I found it really hard to wrap my head around, but there is a picture in this article of how one person visualizes time over the course of a year. The idea is just so far from what I think of as normal that it is difficult to really grasp.

"I thought everyone thought like I did, says Holly Branigan, also a scientist at Edinburgh University, and someone with time-space synaesthesia.

"I found out when I attended a talk in the department that Julia was giving. She said that some synaesthetes can see time. And I thought, 'Oh my god, that means I've got synaesthesia'."

Funny you say that. Literally the first thing I tried to get ChatGPT to do for me was to give me an example gdb extension written in Python. It hallucinated badly and as I pushed it, it produced increasingly erroneous errors. That was about 6-8 months ago though. It might be better now.

A person who helped me out a lot when I was learning to code wrote his own .NET JSON library because the MS provided one had a rough API and was quite slow.

His lib became the defacto JSON lib in .NET dev and naturally, MS head-hunted him.

Fast JSON is that important these days.

Pay attention to the downvotes, and browse HN with "showdead" turned on, and you'll see that HN stays the way it is in large part due to aggressive exclusion of those who can't stick to society norms up to an including the metaphorical "door guy" (bans).

Self-filtering is a start. But pretty much all cliques and scenes also have lines you will get ostracised if you go past. The extent of their reaction if you will vary, and sure, there's a difference between proactively judging you based on appearance and retroactively judging you by actions, but in some scenes your appearance is part of the game. That sucks if you don't fit in, but it also sucks for those who want something specific if you're that one person who can't self filter and insist on ruing the experience for everyone else.

Not generally possible.

Any application that stores any data in the Secure Element of the phone is, by design, not capable of being backed up, even with root. Examples include various bank apps that serve as 2-factor authenticators.

Without that, one of the possible solutions is to use NeoBackup on a rooted phone so it backs up everything daily to some external server on your infrastructure. It can be, for example, a NextCloud server.
this is strikingly similar to the buddhist view of the perception. In one of the theory(唯識思想) in buddhism everybody in their mind has a kaleidoscope or window by which we perceive the world. This kaleidoscope is shaped by six emotions: sorrow, modesty, happiness, joy, anger and love. The important part is that the kaleidoscope also interacts with the world around you. If you want to change the world, you need to become the very person you want to see in the world. That is why buddhism says the change starts from disciplining and harnessing your emotions, hence "be the change you want to see"
Isn't it nice that the article has a summary with all the facts upfront for a change?
> When you are outside that range, you know you’re in for very uncomfortable weather.

Which is... Pretty random? What is "very uncomfortable"? 'Switch to autumn/spring clothes' uncomfortable (<20ºC)? 'Switch to winter clothes' uncomfortable (≈0ºC)? 'Get a sweater below your winter clothes, and maybe double trousers, too' uncomfortable? (<-20ºC)

Celsius fits the mental model of normal human communication quite well if you use it.

> Celsius doesn’t give much benefit beyond the vague water will freeze around 0.

Which is a very major shift: rain turns into snow, roads get slippery, you should dry your hair extra-carefully (> 0ºC it's raining anyway, you'll get wet anyway, why bother; <0ºC it will turn to ice on your head, you definitely don't want that).

Water freezing is a VERY major weather shift.

Make sure you try gpt4 if you didn't.

I've had partial success in getting gpt4 to write rubocop cops (i.e. custom linting rules for ruby). I had to iterate a bit but eventually got something working and wouldn't have tried if I didn't have gpt helping me.
Well, yes.

SF had many more fun venues when SOMA was underutilized industrial real estate available to promoters and artists. A counterculture needs cheap space.

Compared to the madness that was x86 memory models the Alpha was quite sane. I'm not sure what you base your 'weakest' on (it suggests a comparison with others) but when Alpha was released there wasn't much to compare it to besides the R4000 and that just as hard if not harder to source than the Alpha machines were. I had a bunch of them (SGI boxes of various plumage) and the OS hardly took advantage of the chip, but on the Alpha it all just worked at 64 bits out of the box.
I think you only hate the idea because you're misinterpreting it.

Statements like "the Earth is spherical" or "this vaccine has 90% effectivity" fall fully in the phenomenological realm, i.e., the things that we experience through our senses and we can know. Since we have consistent sensory experiences (also aided by technology) that point to the Earth being spherical, Kant would say that we can be confident that it is spherical as a phenomenon - which is what actually matters, and the same with vaccines: dying and getting sick are experiences that we can perceive as a phenomenon, so antivaxxers will find no excuse in Kant's philosophy.

In this example, some aspects of the noumenon (what we cannot know) are for example: OK, but what actually is dying from COVID? Maybe we reincarnate? Maybe we go to heaven? Maybe we are just bits in a simulation? Maybe dying is an illusion? We cannot know. But this doesn't affect the usefulness of taking the vaccine (someone could choose not to take it because they think death is an illusion or they will reincarnate or something like that, but then that's their beliefs' fault, not Kant's, and they would still have to admit that taking the vaccine makes sense for people who don't want to die because they don't share those beliefs).

I think it's hard to find these ideas unsettling, as they actually have become so ingrained to seem like common sense for most rational-minded people. The core idea is just separation between scientific knowledge and metaphysics/religion (but it's of course compatible with atheistic/materialistic views, because one doesn't need to assume that the noumenon contains anything of practical importance -like heaven, immortal souls or stuff like that-, it could be basically irrelevant for all practical purposes).
I think y'all have very fair points, for the record.

Unfortunately it is a lot easier to write documentation for an audience that shares the same context / background / experience. The README was written with an audience in mind consisting primarily of those familiar with Go (or more convoluted "communicating sequential processes" implementations), who were frustrated that things that are very easy in Go, are so much harder in JS. It's not something I considered deeply, but I was imagining that it was unlikely that someone would be searching for "channels in JS" without a base level of understanding.

I work/have worked with some pretty talented people, but (in the past) I've found it difficult to convey the value of the sorts of patterns that `ts-chan` is intended to enable, to those without first-hand experience with such patterns.

Documentation is hard :P
A great idea taken over by cliques of old men who refuse to allow anyone new to take part unless you’re also their age and/or a friend of an existing member.

I’m medically retired but <50 and have tried going to multiple just to find stuff to do. Ended up using maker spaces instead which have a much much wider age group and a friendlier environment all round.
The thing that made me love Golang was the Time channel, where you can have a channel execute a function every X milliseconds, without having to worry about blocking threads with time.sleep() etc. It made a lot of stuff I wanted to write so much easier I basically went all in on Go and haven't regretted it.

Just an FYI,the Yi license is a custom license an is not what I would describe an "open license": https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B/blob/main/LICENSE

It's non-commercial only: "If you plan to use the Yi Series Models and Derivatives for Commercial Purposes, you should contact the Licensor in advance" and "Your use of the Yi Series Models must comply with the Laws and Regulations as well as applicable legal requirements of other countries/regions, and respect
social ethics and moral standards," which is all fine and good, but as defined in the terms, “Laws and Regulations” refers to the laws and administrative regulations of the mainland of the People's Republic of China.

I tend to refer to this type of license as NC/China and I don't even bother poking around with those. I'll wait for the next Mistral or other Apache 2.0 model to come out.

Note, for coding, DeepSeek Coder 33B is already stronger and released under a less restrictive license.
Quite a lot.

> The boy, let's call him Johnny, draws a stick figure of her with a dick in her mouth and captions it, "Belle is a slut" and then has a laugh with the boys at her expense. That is all this is, except with new software.

Leaving aside the rest of your comment, this part I don't agree with. There are obvious differences - for example, one is clearly "not real" and clearly could have been done without consent of the person in the drawing. The second one looks real, and therefore implies that the person in the photograph likely consented to having their picture taken.

Not to mention that a stick figure drawing and a realistic photo of something are two obviously very different things.

It's disingenuous to claim there are no differences here.
I didn't know that such a thing existed either, in fact I thought that the maximum time you could ever take on one (watching the struggles of an old manager of mine) was less than mine is scheduled to take.

I am self-funded.

Part-time means that I can take up interesting opportunities (eg a new start-up) on the side. And I can keep some IP from being tangled up with the university, in case anything very interesting turns up (eg a new start-up)...

Sorry this happened to you! I’m glad you managed to eventually pick yourself up after that experience!

The whole purpose of make is the dependency graph.
Maybe you did. When I used to go to raves in the 90's, where I went it was all heavy on the light shows and people painted in fluorescent colours in response to it. The sound was part of it, but I could listen to music at home.
I have a Pi 400 here and for the money it's most impressive. It runs pretty much the whole house in terms of heating and power management, with full autonomy using HA and a very limited bit of custom stuff.

Maybe I should try to set something like this up. :)

In this case being open source is a nice feature, but not the main one the business is built around. If you have terabytes of data and thousands of GPUs to train on plus the talent to work on it you have a clear advantage over many other possible competitors, even if you give them the source. This is not nearly comparable to building yet another open source todo app or analytics dashboard in JS.
They're thinking macro, not dependency graph.

The point of "make" was supposed to be that it defined a dependency graph, then executed only the commands required to achieve the goals. Somewhere that got lost.
How is the software support for that? What kind of machine do you have?
I think I'd definitely use some kind of library if I still had to touch the DOM heavily. I liked JQuery, but I like reactive frameworks a lot more.
Yes, it's really different on at least one dimension - the person in a nude photo has usually given consent to being photographed nude, which implies something about their actions. Whereas sending a picture of someone with slurs on it says nothing about the person themselves.

Obviously if we get to a world in which it's common to see nude photos of people that are AI generated, such that the inference is wrong, that might change. But for now at least, sending a fake nude photo of someone can hurt them by making people think wrong things about them.

(Whether it should hurt them, etc, are all irrelevant to my point btw - I'm saying there is a difference, not whether it matters or how.)
I like your thinking. But I think that it may be much more important to consider British mathematician Thomas Robert Malthus' "Malthusian Trap" whereby the human population grows at an EXPONENTIAL rate while the Food Supply only grows at an ARITHMETICAL rate. Worse yet, any increases in the Food Supply only "feeds" into the EXPONENTIAL Over-population EXPLOSION! The "Inconvenient Truth, as Al Gore might put it, is that that ultimate cause of Global Warming is way, Way, WAY too many people on our very finite planet Earth. Since NO human society would dare disable the Medical Services that render Disease unable to limit the human population, and since Nuclear Warfare ruins the biological ecology for at least 250,000 years, the only way left to limit the human Over-population EXPLOSION is widespread FAMINES. This means that the E.U. and the U.K. and the U.S., the most popular destinations will be flooded with literally BILLIONS of migrants. Since NO country can survive such massive immigration, everywhere will turn into the Gaza Strip. And the likelihood of the survival of humans will become as likely as the genocide of the Baalists who succumbed to invasion of Moses & the Jews {2 Chronicles 15:13 "All who would not seek the Lord, God of Israel, are to be put to death whether small or great, man or woman."

"I'd argue the majority of cliques and scenes are extremely accepting and people self filter. Having a discriminating door guy is just being an asshole."

Yes and it is a pretty good description of most Berliners. As a capital, that has mainly lived the last 30 years by sucking tremendous money out of the other federal states, as a city that has little industry and businesses left, as a place which administration has become dysfunctional, it gives the stupid arrogant little Berliner a feeling or superiority if he gets into a club but others must stay outside.

And before you donwvote me, for many years I loved this city. I caught a last glimpse of the post reunification Berlin, when basically all the good clubs had no license or whatever. Bars and clubs at the craziest places. Took the police years to close this down. And today, if you walk through Prenzlauer Berg or Oranienburger str. OMG.
"Berlin clubs are closing soon!" has been, for a long time, a staple of journalists desperate to get some views. They just play on readers' emotions.

For a while the pretext was "neighbors are complaining about noise", but that got yanked by new regulations (i.e. making clubs "places of high culture" so they can't be attacked easily).

Now it's about declining revenue, yet clubs are still full. What will be next?
The fundamental problem here is that these regulations are totally useless. Look into the effectiveness of KYC laws -- they're basically zero percent effective.

And the reason for that is that if anybody knew that somebody was engaged in criminal activity, they wouldn't have their bank account closed, they would be arrested and their finances seized by court order. So the bank account closures only happen to people for whom there is not enough evidence to charge them with a crime. In other words, a ton of innocent people.

Conversely, the bank is not a law enforcement agency and has no real way to distinguish between the kind of criminals who know how not to be obvious and the aforementioned totally innocent people, and if anything the practiced criminals are the ones who know how not to trigger the fraud detection algorithms, unlike the innocent people.

So the criminals don't get caught and the government blames the banks for this, but the banks still don't have any good way to know who the criminals actually are, so all they can ever do is round up random innocent people to put on a show of punishing somebody.

The fraud is that law enforcement should be an obligation of the banking system and that fraud needs to be eliminated.

345 lines of well-commented Python. Cute as a button! It doesn't seem to re-use already-built files, though.

I wonder how many lines that would add. I actually have a bit of Python in my build pipeline that basically just goes `if os.path.getmtime(src) > os.path.getmtime(target)` and it works fine for that one file (and took far less effort than trying to shoehorn that build step into my Makefile).
