It's all command line tools, one is called samtools and another is called picard, there might be another one I'm forgetting.

The interesting this with the data is that it isn't your raw genome, it's the entire data from all the sequencing runs of 30 or whatever base pairs (I got my scan done at the 30x level which is supposed to mean that on average every base pair is read 30 times). So it's not like you can just read your DNA directly in one string (not sure why I want to do that but I like the idea of a single file containing just all my nucleotides in sequence). The next step for me, when I go back to it, is to get on the forums for those above tools and ask how to do the things I want, there are a LOT of subcommands.
A Production-Ready AI Based SQL/BigData Tool/IDE
I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years now, and you know what I do when I hav the time? I blow glass. Honestly I enjoyed writing code much more when I was a teen and in college in my free time, but now that I do it 40 hours a week I need something else. Sure I have some programming projects I do outside of work. But they are needed for something else I help run. Besides now that I'm nearly 40, I have a house and family to look after. I barely have time to take care of those with my full time job.
Meanwhile, hashcorp gets to profit off the contributions of others, whilst denying everyone else the opportunity to do the same.
Both are members of Five Eyes and one is in bed with China. It would make sense for Australia to be keeping an eye on things.
I suspect that GP was talking about some notetaking tactics to systematically narrow things down while throwing educated guesses against the wall. Because so much of debugging is running in circles and trying the same thing again. No amount of notetaking can completely remove that, because mistakes in the observation are just as much an error candidate as the code you observe, I'm convinced that some "almost formalization" routine could help a lot.

Good points on the tool side. While "debugger driven development" is rightfully considered an anti-pattern, the tool-shaming that sometimes emerges from that consideration is a huge mistake.
"Cancel culture" may have been meaningless in the past, but now with the new Antidollars™, it literally exists.

This is just factually not true. A lot of YouTubers eventually quit their jobs and become full time content creators. That's means they are able to create more content and the quality of their content can increase as they are able to spend more time on production and editing.

They are also able to invest in their channels. Many bigger YouTubers have small production studios, very expensive camera equipment (think $70k Red Dragon/ARRI cameras, 5 figure lighting setups,etc), and full time staff. They can production quality that rivals a TV studio. None of that would be possible if video content couldn't be monetized.

I sort of agree about the obsession with being a "content creator". But at the same time, kids have always wanted to be rock stars, professional athletes, and movie stars. Content creator is just a new type of celebrity for kids to idolize.
Eh, it doesn't seem that dead to me. I do see a decent number of posts from folks with the same interests there, as well as a fair few reactions on each of my own posts. It's about the same number as on BlueSky, and maybe about half what I'd get on a popular Mastodon post.

However, it's certainly less active than it used to be, and in my opinion, that's true of most other social media services nowadays as well. Feels like the end result of Twitter's decline is less 'people are going to alternative services' and more 'people are moving away from the microblogging format altogether'.
IBM has lots of old enterprise mindshare. Existing relationships are the value. Selling Vault just becomes another line item in your IBM contract.

Very similar how AWS just repackages open source products and sells them themselves (Elastic). If you don’t protect yourself from these entrenched enterprise marketing machines, you’re dead.

(Brought Vault into an old, stodgy org, was a schlep)

The secret is automation that does things while you're doing other things. Parallel not series. I've even seen people secretly hire foreign virtual assistants to do their low value tasks for pennies while the employee focuses on the higher value tasks.
It would make things a lot simpler if there were only so many kinds of legal contracts (sale, lease, employment, partnership) and each one was a fill-in-the-blank template.

When Apple sends messages via SMS, they are sending your messages to 3rd party clients who could sell your messages for ad targeting or worse. Apple already does this. They already send your messages to random clients who could be spying on you.

It's just that in addition to sending your messages to 3rd party clients that could be stealing the data, Apple goes the extra step to make it even more insecure and also sends your messages completely unencrypted, so that everybody along the path from your device to the 3rd-party client can join in and also read your messages and can also use them for ad targeting or worse.

I'll make the argument that this is strictly worse for security than tolerating an encrypted 3rd-party client (or better, releasing their own 1st-party client rather than relying on SMS).

Yudkowsky-derived "Safety" is probably now dead, especially as Meta completely dismantled their safety group while this shitstorm was playing out.

This is why I can never accept the idea that we're just buying a license. Laws need to be made that ensure once you buy the rights to access a piece of content, that you keep that right regardless of who the current owner is or if the distribution method changes. If I buy a book, I never have to worry about it being taken away or what happens if somebody else gains ownership of a property.
It's a hobby for people with a particular personality type. Tight control of variables and precision is part of the enjoyment of the hobby. It's the same as obsessing over whether your model train engines have the precise same badges and labelling that existed in real life.

Women do yoga. Men do this. Or obsessively sharpen knives or practice their golf swing until it's robotically consistent.

Think of it as a form of meditation for a particular type of person.
It's a bit scary how much I am being downvoted for asking what I believe to be a reasonable question. I was expecting someone from the new project to give a quick response with a few points of assurance, and instead I am getting told to go to the very group that downvoters do not trust. This does not make sense to me.
A software business is made when someone needs an automated computation and buys a program from someone else.

The buyer has a specific requirement, which is distilled into a specification. The specification is implemented. Implementation that doesn't match with the specification is a bug.

Now in order to verify the implementation's correctness relative to the specification there must be a QA.

The idea that people forgets to add QA in the software development process is wild because it means people are forgetting how to conduct business.
>I can't imagine a world where the USA shares everything with Spain, so I can't image why would Spain share everything with the USA.

I'm sure it's not everything, but it's certainly asymmetric given that Spain (like any NATO country) outsources much of its security to the United States.

Wood That Is See-Through Like Glass and Stronger Than Plastic
Israel’s Law of Return, is seen as a cornerstone of Israel as a Jewish state:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Return
You could argue that this is not necessary in the modern world.
However, proponents argue that many free democracies with diverse populations also see waves of intolerance and anti-Semitism. So, Israel is designated as a place of refuge for Jewish people around the world. If Israel were blind to religion and ethnicity, this protection and guarantee goes away. So, for many supporters around the world, the fight is existential.
It is interesting to see the internal politics developing in Israel between ultra-Orthodox and more moderate groups of people, though. There seems to be efforts towards favoring certain classes within the Jewish population. There is a lot of tension in the area and I don’t think there is any easy solution.

I suppose it's more that a culture that encourages actions that result in someone deemed unworthy experiencing negativity.

No, we have been using AI to improve things and make profits since before the LLM hype cycle. LLMs just unlock more capabilities. There is ROI for businesses now and consumers are also paying monthly subscriptions.

What we might see is a plateau of capabilities/ ROI, but I imagine we'll have to go through the LLM version of RL, like we did with DNNs and DeepRL. Still, while the capabilities level they will also expand and see more applications. I think we are well on our way to pervasive robotics, or the end of physical labor holdups

When the people who sell it to us are free to revoke access at any time, then there's no walking back being done by us.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" isn't a genocidal slogan. If you ask anyone who chants it, none of them would say its about genocide, that's ridiculous.

I bring up how it's used by Israelis because you hear the news constantly disparage protests for chanting the phrase while Palestinians in Gaza are being butchered by airstrikes. Just another way to fill the airtime when there's nothing to talk about that's Pro-Israel.

Maybe the protesters should change it to "From the sea to the river, Palestine will be free". Maybe that'll appease people. Or maybe they'll find a way to accuse that of also being genocidal.

It's all just a charade. In the end, it's the Palestinians that will suffer

My man, what was this
Godot is awesome, but I wish that when people start ambitious new projects that are meant to last for decades they’d choose a language that has more modern conveniences than C++. The compile times suck. The language is such a complicated mess you have to basically ban whole parts of the language from being used in the project to make development palatable. I would even prefer C to C++. I know Rust is probably a hard sell though.
All computer science is performed in valid proofs, and as this is Hackernews you know it is not computer science, and therefore done in fallacies. qed

I never got the hate against UML. To me, UML is just a language to communicate about several aspects of a technical design, and to visualize a technical design to make it easier to reason about it.

I did not read the book "a philosophy of software design", but I just scanned the table of contents, and it is not clear to me how "a philosophy of software design" contradicts with using UML.

Are you telling me that in those 7 years of working, you never once used a class diagram? Or a database diagram? Or an activity diagram, deployment diagram, sequence diagram, state diagram?

I find that hard to believe... how do you explain your design to other people in the team? Or do you mean that you do make that kind of diagrams, but just use your own conventions instead of following the UML standard?

Personally, I often use UML diagrams when I am working on a technical design and I use those diagrams to discuss the design with the team. On almost every project I create a class diagram for all entities in the system. I rarely make a database diagram because that often is a direct translation of the class diagram. For some of the more complex flows in the system, I create an activity diagram. For stuff that goes through state transitions, I create state diagrams. In my case, this really helps me to reason about the design and improve the design. And all those diagrams are also very useful to explain the whole software system to people who are new on the project.

That does not mean that my diagrams are always strictly UML-compliant or that I make a diagram for every little piece in the software system. The goal is not to have UML-compliant diagrams, but to efficiently communicate the technical design to other people, and UML is nice for this because it is a standard.
Unity sells source code access, it's in the "contact us for quote" category. But that's how many B2B services work, including some of the most widely used commercial game middleware.

Also large portion of first party Unity subsystems which you install through builtin package manger (I am not talking about third party asset store stuff) is available in source code form under relatively nonrestrictive Unity Companion License to anyone. Don't need the Enterprise plan or additional payments for that. For those modules you can not only read and modify the source code, but you can even openly distribute your modified versions. The biggest restriction of this license is that you can only use that source code in combination with Unity, you can't port it to different engines. And in many cases where I read it, to better understand how to correctly use the library or avoid a bug, it was quite readable.

So overall access to source code isn't the main obstacle for game developers to fix the problem in Unity, spending time fixing things and afterwards maintaining a modified version is.
Unfortunately, businesses actually think this way. See any number of lawsuits based on this kind of thinking.
As much as I agree with the sentiment of your comment, the part "Women do yoga" is quite reductive and can easily be interpreted as "women can't be that type of person" which I disagree with.
As I've seen several comments on this here - people have used spritzes of water to reduce static when grinding coffee for years, but the interesting part of this study was the finding that beyond reducing static, adding enough water prior to grinding actually reduces flow rate and increases extraction by preventing the creation of coffee clumps / aggregates.

So it confirms the anti-static properties that everyone already knew, but has interesting implications for increasing extraction without changing any other variables.
I have an older version [0] for Bullseye that you're welcome to take a look at. It's actually combined Ansible + Packer, so if you point it at a Proxmox host, you get an image in ~10-15 minutes.

It's a fork of other work [1], modified and updated for Debian and Debian only. It also in absolutely no way has any best practices, which is why I'm doing a complete re-write with proper role dependencies, modularity, etc. When that's done, I'll be marking [0] as archived and linking to the new repo.

The new version also replaces the incredibly hacky shell script builder (hooray dialog) with Python, and updates Packer's JSON with HCL2.

You mix up development problem with computational problem.

If you can't use formal proof just because the user can't be arsed to wait where it is supposed to be necessary, then the software project conception is simply not well designed.

The EU would have to be crazy to not support smaller local European companies like Mistral (a French company). So good for their economy and securing their own AI infrastructure.

I have ranted about this before on HN, so bear with me here: all countries should take reasonable steps that they can afford to secure their own infrastructure: energy, water, food, some local manufacturing, IT, AI, education, etc. This “one world order” stuff is bull-shit. The world is a better place with many cultures, ethnicities, more self-sufficiency, etc. My wife and I like to travel to meet people with very different backgrounds, see new places. I cringe thinking of a “vanilla” world where large corporations and elite interests “homogenize” the world.
> Women do yoga. Men do this.

I agree that it's for a certain personality type (I myself am one of the obsessive espresso people). But it needn't be gendered.
After seeing the same mistakes made over and over again I can't help but agree. This is how one builds enterprise software now, and it is poorly understood by most developers, although that is starting to change. If I were designing a college curriculum, required courses would include all of the normal CS stuff but also software engineering, distributed computing, design patterns, web application fundamentals, compiler design, databases, DevOps/Cloud, testing fundamentals, UX design, security basics, data science, IT project/process management, essentials of SOA, product mgt and requirements. Of course, it's been so long since I went to college, none of these things existed back in the day, so perhaps modern curriculum has all of these now!
