> They’d have to pay me to use Mac OS

And for many HN users, they do get paid to use Mac OS and offered a Macbook for work. I personally still use Linux for work but I have to admit it hinders my work in certain ways (e.g. no easy access to testing Safari and no way to test VoiceOver). But I couldn't trade my setup for whatever Apple decides is best for me. So I appreciate companies still pushing for more solid Linux-first laptops.
"Be honest, do you really think a phrase meaning 'keeping your husband happy and satisfied would make your life better' is not harmful?" It's one of the oldest and best pieces of relationship advice in human history. What the heck is wrong with it?
Even if it's "clean" relative to worse places, it's still not ethical.

Mining is still dangerous work. The workers are still underpaid. The profits are still stolen by companies that are literally the vestiges of European colonialism.

I'm not sure what you mean with it being a nightmare. It's my go-to for personal stuff. Most recently I used it to make a template for my photo albums. For personal stuff it works fantastically because it's easy to just use a simple text editor for everything with zero other tools required.

It's out of fashion these days, sure, but you could easily make e.g. a forum or a news site or a blog or a facebook type of thing. Anything where you want, well, templated html. So almost all of the web.

I know once upon a time the WoW armory was built with xml/xslt. It's convenient because then you've already also automatically got a data API; just ignore the stylesheet.
Isn't that the old snipping tool? Use the shift+win+s instead.

How to Make Learning as Addictive as Social Media [video]
I've tried to play dungeons and dragons with Chatai. It doesn't like to use any mechanical rules and keeps trying to wrap everything up like its got a train to catch.

I'm sure you could tune it to have more attention than a two year old and actually apply the rules. It did come up with a decent setting based on B2: Keep on the Borderlands. And it was some fun.

The new generation of text games will be awesome. And Enders tablet game is possible with this tech.
One thing I've been trying to push is the idea of Goodhart's Hell and how we're all metric hacking. In academia, one of these things is fundamentally about how papers are written. As someone finishing up my PhD I can't wait to graduate and do real fucking research. The difference? I am not writing papers to my colleagues and fellow researchers in my niche; I'm writing papers to reviewers. These may seem like the same thing but they are very different. In a similar vein, many researchers are chasing hype and publicity. If you don't you don't get through these dumb filters. Journals and conferences do nothing (well at least conferences serve as a meetup, but not more than that). All they exist for, in modern times, is to give a signal to the bureaucrats at universities designed to operate as businesses to judge if a researcher is a good researcher or not (to be clear, this signal doesn't actually indicate such a concept, which is near impossible to tell). This, and other factors, underlines the whole replication crisis, hype (dear fucking god ML...(my area of study!)), and all this bullshit.

Research papers are about scientists communicating with one another. It doesn't matter if it is a preprint like arxiv, Nature, CVPR, or a fucking blog, these are all scientists communicating with one another. I can't wait to be out to just take my time with research, post to OpenReview and my blog, and move on not wasting my time explaining to a reviewer why metric we reproduced is different from the one in the original paper despite already including references of other works who also could not reproduce the original number and getting rejected because I had a broken link to my appendix. It's a fucking waste of time and it is a complete embarrassment that we call this process science.
Right ...... Because we should wait until the grid is fully clean before developing this technology. Serialize all progress!

I appreciate the work that went into slimming this binary down, but it's a ~negligble amount of work compared to llama.cpp itself.

HN is inundated with posts doing xyz on top of the x.cpp community. Whilst I appreciate it is exciting - I wish more people would explore the low-level themselves! We can be much more creative in this new playground.

How is your dovecot and mta (assuming postfix?) setup in regards to client and sender verification?

Is it an open relay? If so, you should deactivate it because your server is spamming then.

Most bots also go through dictionaries and try to send dummy emails to specific account names first, so verifying that the domain is the only one accepting emails helps a lot to mitigate against the noise. Any email not containing an FQDN should be blocked

I'd also recommend to create a local block list (e.g. /etc/hosts.deny for ssh or a postmap file for postfix) so that you can block those actors.

If you don't know how to do that, I included a short howto in my postfix-spamdb [1] project where I maintain spammers targeting my email addresses.

Regarding ssh pw auth, I wouldn't recommend fail2ban because it's a very very buggy software and a lot of RCEs have been discovered in the past, but I would recommend a tool that blocks auths from at least other countries where you are not connecting from. If you want to be safe, use TOR and a hidden domain to connect to your ssh daemon, and make ssh listen only on localhost. Careful though, it's not beginner friendly in case tor can't connect and you need to know what you are doing.

As my startup's EDR agent overlaps with those features I'm biased and not gonna recommend tools here. Don't wanna spam.

For private use there's the sshpwauth block list from dataplane which you can use to generate a good enough block list [2].

There's also Planck's Principle: science advances one funeral at a time.

Zig's `comptime` is not a silver bullet though:

- it is duck typed, which to be fair macros are also, but variadic generics would be type checked at the definition;

- it interacts badly with traits, that is if you allow both querying for implemented traits and creating new trait `impl`s then this can create cycles in the execution of comptime blocks, meaning the compiler needs to compute a fixpoint or arbitrarily give an error.
Why does everything need to be written in rust these days?
Yeah, I think so.

If building it one way will take 3 months and involve shipping 500Kb of JS to every user, whereas building it a slightly different way will take 2 weeks and ship only 50Kb of JS, then I think the second option is better, even if it includes a slightly degraded customer experience (though tbh 500Kb of JS is all by itself a degraded customer experience).

Our online lives would be a lot better if the product folks listened to the tech folks a bit more.

I like to draw a parallel to music; if the producer doesn't understand music at all, then maybe they should listen to the musicians a bit when it comes to creating a musical product.
Indeed, the snappy snip tool is being removed, the bloated one remains. Though OCR is a nice addition.

How is that logical? You want a nascent carbon capture startup to also build employee housing and/or operate a bus line. That sounds like a great waste of money and resources.

They are working on one part of the problem, carbon capture. Many others are working on the problems of electric vehicles and green electricity production.
Not directly relevant, however the way that HN removes specific words from titles has become a tad obnoxious and patronising.

In this specific case, the title is accurate, and HN’s title modification is wrong. I guess the removal of “how” was meant to combat titles like “how I made my code 500x faster”.

HN guidelines tell us to not editorialise titles or headlines, and to be accurate. Why does HN then get to modify titles with glorified and inaccurate regexes?

Edit: I understand “it’s their website”, however rules-for-thee-not-for-me creates inconsistency, and makes it harder for contributors how to behave up front. It will lead to more editorialising, and doesn’t appear in-line with the posture HN has had over the years.

I think there are really people that have jobs where they mostly write the same http request code all day everyday and then go home. Especially in the web space and startup world. ChatGPT isn't optimized for us, it was designed for the JavaScript tutorial audience that somehow have remained gainfully employed.
Hahahaha that's great. Yeah I see what you did there.

Originally I had mine in chat form but for various reasons, it seemed like an FAQ format with 'sources' resonated better. I could be wrong, but I think that makes OpenAI's custom GPTs an ill fit for the specific problem of networking.
Typically, the 12 words are selected randomly from a pool of 2048 words.
The typical way FM synths (and for example function generators) generate a sine wave would be DDS (Direct digital synthesis).

You basically just have an array with all the values of a sine inside (or a quarter of a sine if you want to save memory) and then you jump through that array based on a phase accumulator (basically a counter). The amount by which you increment that phase accumulator (=phase step) determines the pitch of the resulting sine wave that this lookup gives you. So you basically add that phase step repeatedly and read out the current sine value at the current phase accumulator/index with a timer interrupt. Th

This operation is quite cheap, I once made a osciallator with 9 of these on an Arduino Nano (fixed point numbers tho).

Now the clou is that you could just add some amount of the result of another of those sine lookups to the phase accumulator, which results in the typical FM sound. Technically this is actually phase modulation, but hey technically the most famous FM synth uses also phase modulation.
Imagine a 3-axis joystick that can also sense translation. So aside from pitch/roll/yaw you also get the linear up-down/left-rigth/forward-back axises.
I very well might. My parents watched Doctor Who religiously in their 20s/30s, and I watched some of it in syndication with them when I was a kid. I never got into the 21st century version of it, though. But being able to watch the old stuff would be a connection back to my parents that I would love to have.

People are not going into the public school system during adulthood.

Inflation-adjusted average teachers salaries have fallen over the past decade, and starting salaries are at the lowest levels measured: https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/average-teac...

A lot of teachers in the US now work two jobs to make ends meet, which is a recipe for disaster.
An excellent book on this topic (only link I could find for the English version; I read it I German): https://www.everand.com/book/671828518/The-Crisis-of-Bourgeo...

The crisis in the sciences is very much a political one. Within a capitalist system, the sciences are actively hindered from being in the position to solve humanity's big problems, because bourgeois values so often dictate how and what is researched, funded, developed. (Profit oriented)

In this book was also the fist time I heard critical analysis of the big bang theory (aside from creationists in my youth), which I actually thought had a wide consensus. It really makes no sense when thinking about it materialistically. All the laws and known processes involving matter are supposed to have come from nothing? Helped me see how the big bang theory is nothing more than naked idealism. No wonder catholic popes got on board with it so quickly.

Another interesting thesis presented is that medicine in its form today is not actually a real science - infected by positivism and pragmatism, the way it's practiced is like a constant race to cover up symptoms rather than aiming to understand the human body in its entire complexity to heal issues at the root instead.

Anyway, highly recommended read. Covers several scientific fields and how they are being plagued by regressive ideology.
Ownership requires coercion. Threat of violence is used to defend property "rights."

Trade requires ownership.

I wouldn't marry anyone whose happiness is dependent on a artificially expensive hard and shiny rock whose prestige was inflated for years by an industry built on slave labor, especially when far less expensive alternatives exist.

If she is apprised of the alternatives and still demands "No I want EXPENSIVE shiny thing" then it's cultural shaming factoring into the decision making. You have to reevaluate what she sees you as: an actual human being, or a provider mannequin whose validity as a partner depends on subjecting yourself to arbitrary ceremonial consumerist prostrations.
> if you apprise your fiancé of the alternatives / opp costs

What a romantic! I recommend not apprising your fiance of anything, but working to understand them and make your engagement as joyful and loving as possible.

> I made it clear though that if I got this, she is not getting a new one for a long time (she has a tendency to want to rent / sample / change things up).

Is she 12 years old? Is it legal to marry someone that age? :) I hope she said, 'oh, yes dear, whatever you say', and went out and bought another the next day.

But I'm guessing you didn't say actually that to your spouse. I hope you said something like, 'I'm a bit worried about our budget for such things'. Unless it was for your engagement, and then I hope you didn't say a thing.

> Guys, buying diamonds, can complain all day about what a rip off it is (it is).

People buy similarly useless crap all the time, like cars that are more expensive than they need. Why is her preference any less legitimate, why does it need any more excuse, than any other? The only argument I see is, it's not your preference.

Definitely Two minute papers. I'm not a huge fan of Matt wolf because he shills pretty hard for Leonard AI (a stable diffusion SaaS) without being upfront about the fact that he's very likely commissioned by them. It makes me call into question his objectivity.

It is a pity that PostScript has to live such a dwindling life. It is a very fascinating language in itself. After Display PostScript disappeared, I think the only use is in printers nowadays. I once invested in a development environment for PostScript — psalter — where I could step through code and see contents on the various stacks. I used it when developing overlays on printouts of scanned images, as PostScript files with TIFF content was much smaller than print bitmaps from Windows and LANs weren’t faster than 10 MBit :) It made a huge difference in printout speeds.

I also found a bug in libtiff by studying produced PostScript. I don’t think anybody looks at this anymore.
There are a lot of diamond mines, many in Canada, a number in Australia, there are a number that are mobile marine based ventures with state of the art ships sucking in sediments and sifting for diamonds.

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/03/africa/marine-diamond-min...

None of your comments applies to any of the mines mentioned; Canada, Australia, and the marine operations all abide by OSHA regulations and pay good wages.

If you want to make a specific comment about conflict diamonds, for example, it pays to be aware that it's not just mining that sucks in war zones .. quality of life is pretty poor all around.
> developers who didn't understand the web platform well enough to design proper accessible controls.

And i actually think that it is _better_ for a developer not to have to do their own accessibility controls, but delegate this problem to the component framework. They have to know about the problem, but not have to spend cognitive budget thinking about it while they compose their UI from framework components - this should _automatically_ be taken care of by the design of the framework.

I'm not sure if this blog post is particulary insightful. Doesn't everything work like that, not only "expert communities"? Like:

- Entertainment - more people watching, it means incentive to appeal to a wider audience, it often means it has to be more simple, but this is a contrast to what passionates expect,

- User interface - more people using an app means UI needs to be streamlined and be less complicated (can't use keyboard anymore, we need to use touch UI now), but this is a contrast to what power users expect,

- "Expert" communities - more people in a forum, this means less complicated subjects, so "experts" can't grow, they are only expected to give all the time.

Maybe I didn't understand the blog post, but I see it as "the water is wet" content.
> When the Food Safety Authority showed up at the market and started issuing fines for lead adulteration, it stopped being a savvy business move to add lead. Purchasers who were accustomed to unnatural lead-colored turmeric learned how to recognize non-adulterated turmeric.

I remember when I was a teenager I found a huge security flaw in a website: they allowed to include any PHP file passed as a query string parameter, and that file could be a remote one too.

They didn't listen to me and I found that offensive, so I used the flaw to get access, and leave a message on their FTP server. I didn't destroy nor steal any data. They responded by reporting the incident to the police.
Diamonds were desirable jewelery way before anyone had the idea of using them in industry. It's true that the association with engagement rings is a new "tradition" invented by advertisers, but wearing diamond jewelery is not.
There are lots on eBay, or at least there were some years back when I was in the market.
But who goes around asking their friends to let them test their diamonds with their thermal tester?

Are there any examples of a country with a non-adversarial Justice model?
Not a satisfying answer if you are that good candidate, but in general companies with this problem don't deserve good employees and should suffer the fate they've created for themselves. Too bad their answer isn't to fix their ever increasingly broken pipeline but rather to run to the government demanding funds and visas to compensate for the non-existent skills shortage. You simply have to accept that companies will continue to make hiring worse and if you're a good candidate, you'll have to accept longer times and more hassle to find a good position, but in the end, it will be worth it to avoid the type of company that hamstrings itself through doubling down on bad policies.
