I hate nextcloud with a passion and I just hope they can govern a project like roundcube... used it for 20 years even through the whole roundcube next debacle. That said roundcube itself is not an oss project with a clean track record.

Nextcloud is the OSS equivalent of IBM and ticking boxes so it's easy for management to pull the trigger but every feature is just a half-assed buggy implementation. Gobbling up OSS funds and fucking up government projects that try to rely on it. It's a disgrace.
Are there any instant on/boot to REPL systems available today?
Just looking it up online as I have no personal knowledge here, the Hebrew word for rope, חבל (hevel, pronounced as ḥ or χ) apparently has shared roots with Arabic, Syriac, Akkadian and Ugaritic that all have similar sounding words and the current guess it that there was a proto-semitic word like "ḥabl" and of course none of those sound like camel or gamal, so you can at least strike Hebrew and Arabic from the list of potential sources of origin.
You still need to have room for the breakers that feed those subsidiary boxes. Most breaker panels are only rated for those higher power breakers in a few of the slots (not anywhere), and thus you have to move lower power breakers around to make room for the higher powered ones.
Europe has stronger privacy laws.
Somehow I don't think it is that hard for the judge to find out if you're really poor and can't pay or you don't want to pay and take reasonable action. Jailing people for being poor is catch 22 with people's lives.
> Hardware-based ray tracing is pretty attractive. As soon as renderers start making use of it, you'll see render speeds practically double over the previous equivalent M2 machines and considering low power consumption and other things, for some the M3 quickly becomes a pretty enticing offer.

Even with hardware acceleration it’s so expensive there is no way they’ll make it a core part of any of their renderers.
I disagree that it's clickbait-y. Diving down from Python bindings to ucode is ... not how things usually go. Doubly so, since Python is a very mature runtime, and I'd be inclined to believe they've dug up file-reading Kung Fu not available to the Average Joe.
Or just understand that people spoke hyperbolically 2000 years ago just like they do now.

Edit: Here's the open source on GitHub:

Looks like the author tried to double-power the motor with both the spacecraft motor driver and through the breakout box that MITMs the driver and the motor. In such event, the free-wheeling diode in the driver will allow reverse current to be fed back to the driver's power supply up to certain amounts. This will absorb back-EMF, or energy from "regen" from the motor.

I'm suspecting the breakout wasn't literally sitting between the driver and the motor, but rather all internal connections are broken out to the box for testing; and likely the author's mistake was to not mess with the spacecraft to temporarily disconnect the driver.

But I'm not sure if I'd "just" made the right call and done so nonchalantly on a Mars rover to launch in few weeks.
Why do you think he was right?

How is Godot on cross-platform targeting these days? To me, the most attractive aspect of Unity's offering was the opportunity to port the same game core and assets to multiple targets with relatively little retooling.
No, that's definitely a fork (or a clone); fairly with significant differences, including the regression to a macrokernel.

That the MINIX code was replaced before release does not make it not a fork.
Is this a mastodon instance? Mastodon is a twitter clone that doesn't allow long posts? All the posts but the first come collapsed and I have to click on each to read it. Is someone measuring engagement?
I've been using Paperless for several years now very happily and can recommend it over my previous system, also Google Drive. During the transition I found it helpful to set up a cron which (A) made an export of Paperless and (B) uploaded that export to a Google Drive folder.

One feature which seems to be quite a nice improvement (speculating as I haven't upgraded yet) is consumption templates [0]. My workflow involves an ADF scanner with an Android application, sharing the scanned PDF with Paperless Share [1] and then it's uploaded to the server via API. It seems that consumption templates will enable adjusting tags/sharing settings/permissions of a document at ingestion time based on where it's ingested from.

What is the range?

These are mission critical pieces of informations that have yet to be confirmed by Tesla.
I recently migrated from another (more "enterprisey") open-source EDMS system that shall remain unnamed to paperless-ngx. Can't praise this high enough. Where the other system needed multiple clicks for the easiest things and had a bunch of UI antifeatures, paperless has a very intuitive and well thought-out UI and handles ~30k documents without issues.

Perhaps a better design could be two number fields clearly demarcating the two halves of the value.

Plus, you cannot fill more than digits after the decimal place for most currencies, so IMO the design they went with (even though it is done that way on POS terminals) is bad for web and phone apps.

For example, if some system showed a value to transfer at $25.645, and the person input 25645 by mistake, instead of 2564, they would end up sending $256!
Ask HN: Are there any instant boot to REPL systems available today?
I'd guess it's a combination of three things: GDPR reducing the effectiveness of targeted ads, the online advertising industry being more mature/established in the US, and Europe being generally more fragmented, reducing the size of ad campaigns.
I use syncthing and nextcloud. Syncthing just as an easy way to drop things between phone and computer. The ~$5/mo Hetzner nextcloud instance for my Zotero backup, occasionally sharing/soliciting files from friends, and a few not so important backups (that I've been meaning to mirror to b2).

It's basically fine but I can imagine the more advanced features not working so well. It has been on my list for years to add recurring task support to nextcloud tasks but it's a pretty big effort since I'm quite unfamiliar with the stack and there is a decent refactoring needed before the feature can be added.

Fun/edifying: https://xr.bbcmic.ro/ Dominic Pajak's VR BBC Micro???

Blog: https://blog.mousefingers.com/ Paul Malin posted a bunch of hints on how to do the demoscene-ish things we do with the bbcmicrobot (ex-twitter, now mastodon)

The stardot forums have everything: https://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/ lots of lore on how to do stuff, plus old posts with manuals and books for the BBC Micro, including the Acorn GXR ROM manual for the extended graphics routines

I've been doing BBC Microbot posts since the start of the pandemic, after not having touched a beeb since maybe 1988. When I'm doing this stuff it does feel like a lot of lore is beyond the horizon of online history, like doing graphics without matrix multiplication - so eg https://surma.dev/things/ditherpunk/ talks about bayer dithering etc algorithms that are too much code, so is https://extremelearning.com.au/a-simple-method-to-construct-..., but it at least led me to the right search terms to get to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-discrepancy_sequence#Addit... which does let you dither in very little code https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/444/4... - and that's before digging into the specifics of the machine. A lot of the better tricks I see others do on the beeb involve knowing things about its memory layout, 6502 assembler and so on, I think I'd need to spend ages reading the back issue magazines of the 80s on archive.org to get up to speed on all this - it's just not collected anywhere any more
It's totally reasonable to be sad someone tore it down, but you also have to accept that you lose any say over a house when you sell it.
> is that Facebook is the big corporation the GDPR was largely written to try and reign

Actually GDPR text was largely written before shitting on Facebook became the cool kids thing.

The text was adopted by European Parliament in 2014. In 2011, EDPS publishes an opinion on political wants towards GDPR. It's very likely the text becomes written circa 2012-2013. That's waaaaay before any general public's disgruntlemnt with Facebook or any Big Tech giants. The public opinion against Big Tech starts to shift around 2015, after CJEU decides the so called "Google Spain" case (users being allowed to remove their search results from search engines). For reference, Cambridge Analytica story gets broken in 2018.

It is very likely that if GDPR was to be introduced today, the legal text would be much stricter and harsher. We need to realize that GDPR is a general data protection law. It does not prescribe industry-specific measures. It is written to apply to a bread baker so much as it is written to apply for a Big Tech giant. And that means race to the bottom in terms of legal standard.
I was thinking of trying out using something low level... Maybe that? Does it support lazy selective syncing? Updating only ranges of files? Does it handle broken connections gracefully and recovers without data loss?

Unfortunately the case when you do your job too well, always leave a good 15-25% on the table to keep yourself 'required'.
Hmm; at least in the more recent versions of .NET, Microsoft has really cleaned up the runtime host paradigm so that it's consistent across console (think background services, timer jobs, pull-oriented processing) and web (classic HTTP).

For us, it just becomes a matter of configuring the correct construction of the dependency injection container at host startup using some flag (usually environment variable) to pick the right bits and pieces to load into the container and which services to run from the monolith.

Then each of the host "partitions" gets its own Dockerfile.
I worked in the industry and fairly closely with a number of notable Weta Engineers.

I still don't know why you'd spend 1.6billion on a VFX pipeline. I mean sure it gives you cachet, but a lot of the pipeline is mostly asset management rather than the few bits of special sauce that provide artist tooling.

but 1.6 billion is a ridiculous amount of money for a company's turnover of ~110million[1], with pretty thin profit margins, compared to a software company.

Maybe I'm wrong about weta, they did make mari after all, which is pretty special, however the foundry didn't pay anywhere near that much for mari, for what appears to be a similar licensing deal.

Being linguistically poor reduces your options for sourcing solutions to your problems, or understanding how to stop them being problems in the first place.

There may be methods of accessing clean water that are totally outside their traditional or contextual experience, which they have no hope of accessing or evaluating due to linguistic limitations.

Even the idea that there may be options outside of the traditional and immediate, may be something they had not thought of due to linguistic limitations.
I think that this is a bait and switch here.

I'm not aware of any significant and serious criticism of the "give lots of money to malaria net organizations" approach to Effective Altruism. This also doesn't seem to be especially present in the article. I'm sure that you can find individual examples on twitter or whatever, but from my seat that seems to be a clear minority of the criticism.

It is the version of Effective Altruism that has gone beyond that to "we need to focus on AI safety" and "we need to fly to mars" that people are calling bananas. Heck, the article even mentions that it is difficult to separate Effective Altruism from AI Doomerism and lists a bunch of vague accomplishments about AI Alignment as accomplishments alongside "Saved 200,000 lives."

The argument that people should efficiently allocate their charitable giving is sound. Where things go off the rails is when people's model of efficiency involves wild future hypotheticals about robot uprisings.
That probably worked when life expectancies were lower, where are people supposed to live the other 25+ years of housing?
Trained linguist here, with a great deal of time spent in the Western Balkans, proficiency in Albanian, BCMS, and Aromanian, and familiarity with the specialist literature on the diachrony and sociolinguistics of the region. The only Kadade work I’ve read was Kronikë në gur, so I’m not entirely sure what he wrote in your story. However, what you describe sounds like total fantasy. There is a literary genre where the author takes some actual historical regime and ascribes completely fantastical traits to it. A prominent example is Milorad Pavić’s The Dictionary of the Khazars. So, I can only assume Kadare was doing the same.

The Ottoman Empire actually had very little detrimental impact on Balkan languages. There was language shift to Turkish among a few urban elites, but most of the Albanian population was rural and so continued speaking Albanian, Greek, South Slavic, or Aromanian just like they always had. Both Turkish and the languages of the Balkan Sprachbund have rich tense systems (richer than that of English), and no one has ever had any difficulty expressing past versus present versus future.
In the moment, it's really hard to step back and ask yourself "Does this make any sense?" when you're primed to react in some particular way.
Indeed, if you ignore all the evidence, including the declassified Russian documents[1], you can conclude that Russia did nothing wrong with regard to the KE007 flight.

To be honest, the persistent blind contrarianism of this community is really tiring.

That’s the thing, though: By the letter of Google’s rules that’s not allowed, as far as I know.

But apparently not all developers/anpp publishers are treated the same. Another example of that: https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/20/google-admits-spotify-pays...
Maybe (probably?) it did seem crazy, but the officers sought verification from the system and seemed to get it.

They were probably unaware that there was an airliner in their vicinity, as it had been incorrectly tagged as an F-14. I don't know where the actual F-14 was, but quite possibly nowhere in the vicinity of the ship.
They rented 8xA40 for $3.1k. That is actually kinda peanuts; I spent more on my gaming PC. I think there were kickstarter projects for AI finetunes that raised $200k before Kickstarter banned them?
That valve appears to be discontinued.

Some jurisdictions would disagree on that, most notably the EU.
Looks interesting and quite a nice website, I'd lose that obviously AI generated "whack a mole" image though: it's over-literal, just plain wrong (why would the guy look at the hammer, should look at the moles, and why so many moles? that's not whack-a-mole) and is going to age really quickly.

I think you may be talking about game engines and realtime rendering when the previous comment was about offline renderers.
Lead was chosen over ethanol as it could be patented and licensed out.
Black Mirror is a scifi anthology show and season 1 episode 1 is an extremely off putting and non representative episode where a politician is blackmailed into live streaming themselves fucking a pig. The show was later acquired by Netflix and it is in their best interest to make sure that isn't the first episode of the show people see.
Wore them everyday for 2 weeks and I actually only bought them as I thought I could make something like this (through any hacky means).

No one has noticed they're any different, especially outside as I got transition lenses so they just go into normal rayban sunglasses mode. You could have a similar effect if you wore those old "new" 3D glasses out and about.

Even colleagues had to squint.

If I do ever have a bad interaction with strangers I'll just tell them about the lengths meta have gone through to prevent bad actors. (i.e: knowing you're trying to cover up the flash).
I'll bite. I go to LessWrong, ACX, and sometimes EA meetups. Why? Mainly because it's like the HackerNews comment section but in person.

I have never donated to EA. I choose instead to donate to https://www.gatesphilanthropypartners.org, which has very similar ideals and approaches and is arguably more effective, a debate which I have openly had with many EA proponents, and to the detriment of none!

At least in Austin, AI doomers only make up a smaller chunk than the rest of the people who show up. I'd say the overriding mentality is skepticism and curiosity. The range in political opinion is very large. There's no dominating ideology and every statement will result in someone who politely disagrees!

And yes, LW, ACX, and EA are all very intermingled, so make of that what you will!
Collecting important data about your code in dev and test has become trivial, it’s now also getting easier to put that data to use.

As much as producing 'technically sound' decisions is paramount so is being able to work with other people, namely your boss whose decisions are always technically sound if asked. ;)
Actually even the free ChatGPT looks better than Google and even DuckDuckGo results. Unless you want to find the nearest pizza joint ofc.

Of course you have to verify, but it seems to give you stuff that's related to what you're searching for to verify, while a traditional web search has become kinda useless for that because of all the spam pages that are clones of each other.
“My quasi-$500M Mars rover mistake” just doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

But, to your point, it is still a failure story that _could_ have lead to a much worse outcome than it did. The fact that it didn’t was mostly due to luck.
The problem with billionaire philanthropy (which is what the term 'effective altruism' was intended to replace as part of a rebranding effort) is that it tends to be self-serving and opaque.

E.g. we don't want secretive private 'do-gooder' foundations running global public health programs because they're always incentivized to deliver their funds to the private investment interests of the billionaires in charge, rather than say bidding out contracts in a transparent manner. Similar arguments apply to the educational system, to clean air and water efforts, etc.

The better solution is to (1) increase tax rates on the wealthiest sectors of the economy by restoring 1960s-era tax brackets for income, corporate, and capital gains and (2) change how those funds are spent at the federal and state level, i.e. move away from funding foreign wars and towards fixing all the basic domestic problems.

The reason you want government agencies, not private foundations, in charge of this is that they're subject to public scrutiny, FOIA requests by journalists, etc.

In other words, 'effective altruism' is just another con artist program intended to give legitimacy and cover to the USA's ridiculously greedy, out-of-control and amoral investment capitalism culture.
Is this available in Automatic111?
There is no logic that a good thing should be free. In fact it should likely cost prisoners something if it is good for them. Just like breakfast is good for you but it is not free.
I agree. If true, this appears to represent an enormous hack against vulnerabilities in humans. It should not be suppressed.
I'm hoping the comment you're replying to was sardonic.
Anonymization of data is largely impossible. That's an opinion of many data protection experts. Combining datasets, using open-source data from gov't sources and likes allows to "single out" individuals in no time. Further, what industry does is largely pseudonimization, not anonymization. Anonymized data is not under the scope of GDPR, whereas pseudonymized data is.

If they've invented utilitarianism, why do they use that exact term so often?

Seems like EAs are actually pretty familiar with the history of utilitarian thought. Much EA discourse focuses on moral philosophy and meta-ethics. Will MacAskill, well-known EA, is a professor of moral philosophy.

Deontology has its problems too.
Very few repositories have enough commits to be a problem, and ls is not very important either. The prompt was just that cd works. It doesn't have to show the big pile of commits.

Also you just have to use ls -f. Edit: Oh, you even mention this yourself in another comment. Serious non-problem then. If you're worried about the filesystem side, it could also load the list of commits gradually.
I would set up a wiki but also make regular printed backups: on-site for when the electricity is out, and off-site in case of fire.
There really isn't more to the story. russia has been oppressing and killing Ukrainians since the creation of the russian empire. They have only stopped for a brief period after the fall of the USSR. You are claiming there are no nazis. So Nazi Germany was fiction? russians are nazis, just look on the internet. Monsters do exist - war criminals, mass murderers, brutal dictators. Not all people are regular humans and some need to be punished for their evil actions. Where did you get this unicorns pooping rainbows bullshit? russians, not Ukrainians started this war and happily support the killing of the other side. They are the reason this keeps happening.
it's obviously true, fiction can explore everything non-fiction can but the reverse is not true.

If that ever stops being true then the categories stop having meaning.

It's not an issue that you prefer non-fiction, the book you posted is philosophy and many people enjoy it. But I've explained the appeal of fiction to you, take it or leave it.
