Thank you for doing such a great thing. In my years on HN I have seen things like this come up several times. Offers of jobs, money or just a warm meal. The world will reward you for what you are doing.

In my case...things are difficult but not impossible. Month to month is an understatement and through the last 5 years it has become more and more painful but there is still hope.

I personally don't want anything to be given/gifted to me but if everyone could do a favor to all those who are struggling. It won't take long...

All I request is that this holiday season everyone thinks hard about what they have and how they got there. Remember all those who helped you...and those who did not receive the same.

Review your investment portfolio and think about the effects of where you put your money. Are your investments furthering poverty for others? Is there a way to rearrange your portfolio in a way that not only increases your wealth but also helps others?

Giving is good...helping those who are in poverty is important.
Preventing people from getting to poverty in the first place seems like a more effective way of preventing homelessness.

Fix the small problems while they are still small.

There's way more lifting and carrying of heavy things when dealing with houses. Apartments without elevators are the worst, since you need to carry the heavy stuff up and down the stairs.

Ha, the pass-through version is possibly a long ways off. I had grand plans but the mechanical considerations mean that there will probably have to be a few trial-and-error revisions before I get it right.

If you do want an ethernet card with a pass-through slot, a fellow on the 68kmla forum is building such a device already: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/fs-se-30-ethernet-ac.... His card is hardware-compatible with the Asante MacCon card for the SE/30, which is extremely neat, but requires sourcing no-longer-produced components in order to build it. The idea with my card is to build something with modern parts that are easier to find.
Exactly this is neither state of the art creative neither its valuable for the journey/hand process.
I have the reverse issue, I am constantly coming up with creative ideas, so that by the time I am done building idea A prototype v1 (something like what you see in this video) or v2, idea B comes along and distracts me from seeing idea A all the way through. And when the persistence and discipline is there, bills need to be paid, and the distraction is not idea B, but merely some mundane work.

One lesson I've learned in life is to never fly when recovering from flu, even if you feel quite okay. I did that very painful mistake once a decade ago, and since then I've had permanent tinnitus in my left ear. It doesn't bother me much in daily life, but I would like to be be able to experience total silence in nature without that constant noise.
Using fasttext as a first pass is probably the best idea for production work.
I was curious and tried 'jutting my jaw forwards' and got a very loud whine in my ears. I've had ringing in my ears before but never diagnosed with tinnitus, now I'm worried...

Dependent types are actually quite natural in the "compile time evaluated" subset of a programming language like Ada or Rust. For ordinary program code, they run into the obvious issue that dependent typing subverts the usual phase separation between compile and run time, in the absence of an ad-hoc "code extraction" step. Dependent types and contracts also promote "code" to what is effectively the typing level, which introduces thorny API-stability concerns - i.e. the exact way you express a pre/post-condition or invariant in a library API becomes something that downstream users can end up relying on. Apart from that, Rust is already getting there with their advanced const-generics work.

I’ve lost my sense of awe when looking at this art, absolutely. It used to amaze me. It’s still fascinating and cool, but not like it was in the first while that I was viewing and creating it.

But this morning, my 6 year old was in bed with me (we’re sick), and at one point I rolled over and saw his little sleeping face. I was in complete awe. I thought about his life so far. How beautiful he is to me. How grateful I am for him.

Sometimes I just look in my aquarium and I have a sense of awe. It’s nature inside of there. These fish spawn in there. It’s their home. The plants grow so beautifully. The shrimp grow out in so many colours and patterns. It’s a window into the awe of nature.

I’m not sure if computers can necessarily take away my sense of awe. I have some sense of that when imagining what I can do with them, but when it comes to singular outputs… That’s not the kind of thing that amazes me.

> why is NATO even needed?

Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has strengthened and expanded NATO. Historically, Sweden and Finland haven't wanted to join NATO. Now they're both joining. Finland's membership has already been ratified. Sweden's membership will be ratified within weeks:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61397478

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO

If Putin's plan was to somehow weaken NATO then that plan has backfired. Putin has comprehensively achieved the opposite result.

> Either NATOs goal still is to fight Russia

It isn't. NATO is a defensive alliance. If Russia doesn't want other nations to join a defensive alliance then Russia must stop giving them reasons to join.

How many individuals have actually had their lives ruined, outside a very small number of people like Alexandra Elbakyan? Plenty of companies have been shutdown over the matter and plenty of scene groups have been raided but ever since Aaron Swartz prosecutors in the US seem to have little appetite for such cases and Europe has always been lenient as far as criminal penalties go. The latest scene group raids that made it to HN's front page ended in 60 day suspended sentences for the offenders which is a complete joke as far as penalties go. Nonviolent offenses that are barely worth prosecuting in most jurisdictions if not for media industry handwringing.
The irony is that the Agile manifesto was a response in part to trauma induced by bad management. To quote an excerpt from "History: The Agile Manifesto:"[0]

»Kent Beck tells the story of an early job in which he estimated a programming effort of six weeks for two people. After his manager reassigned the other programmer at the beginning of the project, he completed the project in twelve weeks—and felt terrible about himself! The boss—of course—harangued Kent about how slow he was throughout the second six weeks. Kent, somewhat despondent because he was such a "failure" as a programmer, finally realized that his original estimate of 6 weeks was extremely accurate—for 2 people—and that his "failure" was really the manager’s failure , indeed, the failure of the standard "fixed" process mindset that so frequently plagues our industry.«

Jim Coplien has also talked and written at not insignificant length about firing managers and flattening reporting structures as a part of implementing Scrum.

I live in the Boulder area. I've gotten back into ice climbing recently after a ~10 year hiatus. Smear of Fear is definitely legendary. I don't think it has had many repeats. I'm not sure how much it freezes up anymore, though.

I do find that most specialists are incapable of diagnosing anything not blatantly obvious…
What's the endgame of this "AI models are trained on copyrighted data" stuff? I don't see how LLMs can work going forward if every copyright owner needs to be paid or asked for permission. Do they just want LLM development to stop?
Voluntary refunds like this are often the result of a risk assessment. What is the risk to their brand, what is their risk legally. One could argue that they only did this to avoid damage to their brand and the damage to the industry if it had become the catalyst to laws changing around content licensing.

I hope PlayStation does not refund customers and that this is the catalyst we need to change content licensing to consumers. A purchased license should cross transcend platform lock-in and the removal of content from a given platform. If no platform exists for your content to be consumed then you should have the legal right to download the content.

It should not be legal to sell a perpetual or indefinite license on a specific platform. If it was clear that the license was only valid for x number of years consumers could factor that into their purchasing decision.
Yes, and closely related are various forms of constraint solvers, things that LLMS are still fantastically poor at.
Work is something they are selling it with, which is really a stupid way to market it, does it actually induce lucid dreams successfully though. I would buy if it does, more so if it could keep me lucid longer than I can currently do.
Well, LLMs don't consistently beat purpose-trained BERT-type models just yet, for example in [1] the authors show RoBERTa (fine-tuned for each individual task separately of course) going basically toe-to-toe with GPT-4 on quite a few somewhat conventional NLP tasks, while open-source LLaMA 2 models are getting severely outclassed.

The basis for the quantitative analysis is not explained, except that it was performed "by the author." I assume that it would be very difficult to quantify such a slippery concept as human problem-solving ability. It would be hard for me to trust this analysis without more information about where the numbers come from.

No excuse for this other than them refusing to understand.

Which is why, when companies try to apply dark patterns to you, you should bug the fuck out of their support channel.

I disagree on both counts. For the first, to deny that the world has changed is delusional. For the second, I think a life of such Stoicism or Lucretianism is not one to be desired. It precludes valuing anything outside yourself. Lucretius himself said one should not love other people for the very reasons you state, they might die or leave you.
Is such self reliance more valuable than what one stands to lose?

So what if one is sailing in rocky waters? You can still have important insights on what can be gained, lament the loss of your crew, and have opinions on the changing conditions of the sea.
This is nothing new, and there's been plenty of examples already, but here's another: I remember game reviews on the Commodore 64 raving about the incredible realism of some game's graphics. An 8-bit machine with a muddy 16-color palette, and yet that awe was real. Same thing continued through the '90s, the 3D revolution, Doom and Quake and Unreal--the now-infamous "yes, these are in-game graphics" magazine cover.

Now it's 2023, game graphics are basically photorealistic, and when's the last time you saw half a review raving about awe-inspiring graphics? If you have at all, it wasn't for their "realism." In fact, there's a good chance it was for their lack of realism, for a novel stylistic filter that makes a game look more like an animated artwork than a film.

Given supply and time, amazing becomes expected becomes boring. It's why artistic fashions change and evolve in the first place. No one development will ever hold on to first place, but there will always be something new to impress us.
It's not simple. The nix programming language is like untyped ML. Most people aren't used to it and even if you are familiar with it it gets hella hard to read. Learning curve is huge.

One docker file and a poetry file works just as well. And is simpler. It's literally the same thing but using os primitives to manage the environment rather then shell tricks. Makes more sense to me to use a dedicated os primitive for the task it was designed to be used for.

Additionally docker-compose allows you to manage a constellation of environments simultaneously. This is nowhere near as straightforward with nix.

I love nix but being honest here. It's not definitively the best.

The biggest reason right now to avoid it is adoption. Most people won't know what to do with a shell.nix

Enterprise pricing. Specific to each customer, but if you don't have a team of lawyers, you can't afford it. You'll need those lawyers to deal with the contract provisions limiting you from using open source software and argue about how many seats you're actually licensing.

I briefly contributed to WURFL before I got out of mobile. Being able to figure out limitations based on UA I think has a place in the world because you can generate script tags for polyfills in the head based on which you need.

But now that I’m saying this, I think an attribute for script tags that only load if the browser doesn’t support feature X (or any feature in a set, so you can roll up polyfills that tend to be needed together.

That could be backward compatible because existing browsers would just load everything, and new ones could negotiate.

To make well rounded graduates, was the original idea, now universities use it as a requirement to graduate and honestly it seems like they are there to keep you in school longer because the major course work for most majors can be done in a couple years. And losing a couple years of tuition is something universities aren't going to do. Humanities are largely a relic of a bygone era, and if we want to prep students for jobs when they graduate, so they can pay back the ridiculous loans, we should focus on hand-on work in their majors.
> CUI is not classified information, as its name indicates, but it should, generally speaking, be protected with access controls and not widely disseminated. Wyden is clearly not a fan of this labeling, which he described as a "made up designation with no basis in law." CUI was created by an executive order from President Obama in 2010.

This is the bigger problem. Classified documents have a mandatory declassification date that is only overridden in special circumstances. CUI can last indefinitely because it's an extra-legal construction designed to stay outside the classification system.

For me it's more "I've used emacs for everything for decades, and coincidentally that means I use it professionally too". (At my current company we acknowledge that it's a generational thing and encourage new hires to pick an editor and obsess over it, since they'll be "living in it" and being able to manipulate things in your editor without thinking about the editor is a huge productivity hack (up there with learning to type), but we don't actually push them towards a specific tool.)

("Languages" (in the "things you edit" sense, rather than the Turing or LLM sense) involved include python, C++, json, yaml, cmake, and arbitrary unix config files.)
LLMs popularized zero-shot learning, or “prompt engineering” which is drastically easier to use and more effective than labeling data.

You can also retrofit “prompt engineering” onto good old fashion ML like text classifiers. I wrote a library to do just that here: https://github.com/lamini-ai/llm-classifier

IMO, it’s a short matter of time before this takes over all of what used to be called “deep learning”.

Supervised learned, which required Herculean efforts to label big datasets was important to prove that deep learning worked, but we have been engineering it to be easier and more effective ever since and there is no going back.
Battery life is the silent victim. Maybe browsers should name and shame websites that are heavy.
One works in the middle of nowhere and the other doesn't.
Sites should work without javascript, but I think it's fine to demand a somewhat up to date browser in that case.

For features that have been very widespread for enough time, it's okay to have a javascript polyfill as the only fallback, in general.
This article shouldn't be addressed to designers, it should be addressed to product managers, or to leadership who sets OKRs. The issue is not designers not knowing this is wrong, or being able to think of alternatives. The issue is not that the designer, on their own initiative, decides to make a user-hostile product. The issue is that product teams are being strongly incentivized or even directly ordered to implement dark patterns like this. If it was just the designer calling for the use of dark patterns, and everybody else in the organization was against it, it wouldn't happen. Likewise, if the designer is the only one in the organization who advises against it, guess what? It's happening anyway.

They were. Ford had not only an Engine Division, but a separate V-8 Engine Division. Both were their own fiefdoms with their own management. To this day, Ford has separate self-contained engine plants. GM is divided up differently, with foundries that do hot metal work for multiple parts of the vehicle. No idea how Stellantis does things.
