This kinda stuff is why I don't like catchall email accounts.

IANAL...but there can be some legal exposure here, too. Mr. Bad Actor is up to shady sh*t, using a fake bactor@YourDomain.com account as part of that, and some less-than-friendly Feds (or lawyer for a victim, or ...) could be knocking on your door.

Yes, fake-account and typo'ed -address email can be kinda entertaining to read. But better to lose no time, need no lawyer, set things to auto-bounce with a "No Such Account" error, and keep email logs for ~3 months or so - to play the random clueless honest bystander part.
I did not realize it was that bad. Opera too? Maybe resistance _is_ futile? :-(
I've been in one bedroom houses with 370m^2 floor space, and 4 bedroom houses with 175m^2. Those are outliers but I still have no mental idea of how big a six bedroom house is, at all. And the fact this is a usable volume makes the whole comparison useless.
How can people live without emacs open?
Let me guess... so users are forced to load a web page which will show them ads that couldn't fit into RSS records?
Are you suggesting all these books’ publishers or authors might have paid to be on the list? It’s such a vast and varied list that it seems like a bizarre conclusion. Or do you think they’re paid to raise awareness of books in general? Is The Economist in the pocket of Big Book?
> As I can no longer watch yt without getting annoyed

uBlock Origin + EFF Privacy Badger should take care of it. I've never seen any ads on YouTube (except the ones the stream includes inherently).
Same reason why you would use GPT-4. Plenty of people pay for that, some pay really good money.
Ah, now that actually makes sense!
This was at the technical level, during the last three high school levels (10 - 12), where one is expected to finalize with an internship in a company instead of going straight into the university.

Job related stuff is intermixed with traditional highschool content.

However that does not prevent applying to the university later on, many people go through this route in European countries where it is available, just in case.
it takes passively less than 30 mins to make a RSS feed generator...
completely agree, whoever thinks this site is great UI might already be lost.
Sourcehut is great and inspired a lot of my design choices. Although unfinished there is a plugin (ayllu-mail) in place to support email based workflows. Ayllu is meant to be lightweight, hackable, and oriented towards individuals or small software communities (think Github/Forgejo organizations). Although you can self-host, Sourcehut is very large and oriented towards supporting thousands of users. My original idea was actually to fork Sourcehut and create something called Minihut.. but it turned out to be not very fun and I ended up with this project.
So, what would be the hardware setup for this?

Can it run on 1 GPU and swap between experts.
Depending on the content of the RSS they were publishing it was either an exceprt or abstract of the article, or the whole article itself.

If it was the latter, it's almost certainly a cynical drive to get more 'page impressions' by making people visit the actual website to read the blog posts.
>they mistakenly think no one uses it.

No, I think it's a very deliberate choice. RSS is a means to escape the gaze of Big G. Can't let that happen
which rss reader do you use?
And the associated "Techno-Pessimism" (e.g. "singularity" BS, from "AI doomsday" fear-mongering all the way to inanities like Roko's Basilisk) -- still based on grandiose ideas about technological development.
Not true. Not everyone is building chat bot or similar interface that requires output with latency low enough for a user. While your example is of course incredibly slow, there are still many interesting things that could be done if it was a little bit quicker.
Corals and sponges are hotspots of reactive oxygen species in the deep sea
That’s good though, right? Is there a reason for not using an identity hash (is that the right term?) for integers?
>I can't access the article because I have failed the captcha several times.

Do you use Cloudflare DNS? I recall archive.ph + Cloudflare don't play well together.
This seems like grounds for an interesting and sustainable business model.

Thank you for your response. I don't see how they would have been able to, but the first email I received from the app vendor was a quarterly statement notification, and includes the person's screen name on the app. I checked all of the email headers and they seem legit (match emails I receive for my own account from the app vendor)
I was at E.A. working on the ill fated 3D0 OS video subsystem when Doom was released. The game was immediately installed on everyone's PCs, "for research", and for the next week or two absolutely zero work occurred at Electronic Arts.

You seem to be coming from somewhere closer to "like SQL" than the data-oriented end of the spectrum.

On either end of the spectrum, there's much less flexibility. The "SQL side" is optimizing things for bulk operations[0] and flexibility coming from composition[1]. The "data-oriented side" is optimizing for performance, and it so happens that stuffing data that's processed together into arrays you can just scan in a cache-friendly way, also yields a component-like division of data.

Both those approaches are quite inflexible. They do kind of meet in the middle, as they yield similar data organization, but I'm increasingly convinced this is a surface-level, entirely incidental similarity. Philosophically, the two extremes of "ECS" are entirely unlike.

--

[0] - Again, AFAIR, ECS originally came from MMO world, where they do use relational databases for storing game state.

[1] - Also reason to use databases if you're making an MMO, as relational tables are known quantity, while serializing polymorphic object graphs is plain annoying.
More used to offer them than currently do. And the trend has been for sites that have RSS to remove it. So you're correct that RSS has not become extinct due to Google, it has merely contributed to lower adoption.

Google reader was the alpha and Omega of RSS feed reading, and it set a standard norm followed by the rest of the internet, and Google's decision to move on from RSS similarly was followed by much of the rest of the internet. If, in the heyday of Google Reader, you asked me what one thing could drive the stake through the heart of RSS, it would be Google making some choice to drive norms and standards of the web in a different direction.

Yeah exactly, what kind of bs is that
If only they had a first-party blogging platform that has great RSS support including WebSub real-time updates.
it's about as possible as solving the halting problem if you allow for operator overloading.
> Opera too?

Sadly yes, Presto died many moons ago. I still miss the old Opera, when it wasn't owned by a Chinese company and had it's own rendering engine. But building a browser is expensive, a rendering engine even more so. We won't pay the cost of developing software, so we can't have nice things.

From my anecdotal point of view, there's nothing but pro-Palestinian stuff that I see here in Canada.

There are signs about 'stop the occupation' literally all over my city.

Sorry, but it looks like the Palestinians are the ones winning this information war. They broke the peace, they attacked israel, they are the ones responsible for this ongoing war.

If you condemn Russia for them breaking the peace and starting a war. Then you condemn the Palestinians just as much.

Unfortunately Python's innard is much more complicated than most expectations. You have named JS and Lua, but those languages never have "magic" methods---JS instead has prototypes and more recently proxies, while Lua has metatables. Ordinary objects aren't magic in this sense, and conversely magical objects are generally deliberate choices in those languages. But Python's magic `__dunder__` methods are everywhere including ordinary objects (and customized objects that look like ordinary objects, e.g. `list` subclasses). That alone complicates a lot of things.
I don't think blog platforms "suck", but I do think there are QoL enhancements that can be made to them the experience better for both the writers and the readers.

I built https://persumi.com for exactly this reason - to replace my own blog with a bit of QoL flare. Things like AI summaries, the optional social aspects (like/follow, etc), and TTS to turn text articles into audio / podcasts, etc, etc.
I’ve read a couple of texts by Paul Lockhart. His opinion (which I support) is that what is taught in high school as math isn’t math, as in what a mathematician does. As an example: Pythagoras proved the relation between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The journey towards finding the answer to this is math. Or even exploring why this relation even exists based on his findings is math. The answer to the question is expressed as a2+b2=c2. What we’re asking students to do is just to take that formula and apply it hundreds of times without going into the actual math behind it. This, he says, isn’t math at all. The whole “math” step is skipped.

He compares it to if for example we were teaching music in school without ever touching a musical instrument, and just learning how to read and write notes. Or teaching art without ever touching a pencil or brush.

The risk is that students think they’re bad at math, while in fact they’re bad at mindlessly memorizing and applying formulas. The same way we could totally miss out having students never discovering their artistic talents if art class was taught without ever actually doing any art.

His text that explains this most clearly is “A Mathematician’s Lament”. It’s a great read and not very long.
Yes! Why isn’t this the case already?

Ask HN: During a tech interview, what are some green flags and red flags?
There have been lots of recent posts about job search, but so far I haven't seen anything focused on interviews. I might have missed it, but a quick search didn't show anything.

What are some green flags and some red flags you look for during the interview process?

As interviewer, what do you usually look for in a candidate that help tip the balance to either a "yes" or a "no"? When you had several candidates to choose from at the end of the interview process, what helped you decide one over the other? Any tips for candidates that would help them get at least a screening call and not get ghosted?

As interviewee, what do you usually look for to try to ensure beforehand the job is a good fit? How do you usually prepare for interviews?

For those who already have a job, do you have any examples of things you wish you'd have asked during the interview before starting the job? Any things that looked or sounded "not so good" during the interview that turned out to be not that of a big deal? Things that looked or sounded "good" but turned out not that good after all?
"Removed" implies it was there at some point; is this true? Or has this blog just never had RSS support? (I searched for this blog in Feedly and it didn't show up any older feed, but that may not be a reliable method for checking?)
When you want that kind of content, you should use a different search engine which makes it easy to find.

As an end user, who cares? Make it more like Keras. Quit messing about w tensor optimization because you'll get smoked by someone else's performance eventually.

Last time I checked, there wasn't even a function to shuffle a tensor. Something you'd do at the start of every training iteration.
That's actually not too bad, and similar to what I plan to do. They only create an ID for a block/bullet-point when necessary.

I just noticed Logseq doesn't support selecting and editing text across multiple blocks. It's indeed not easy to do, but Plume does support this, I believe it's an essential feature for a text editor. Notion took a long time until they supported this[1]. I implemented it in less than a month using C++ and QML, a testament more to the strengths of Qt than to my own skills as a developer.

Would pulling that much heat out of the ground help or hurt global warming?
The main problem with ECN was the remarkably widespread behaviour by middleboxes that either cleared that bit or straight up dropped the packets. Maybe that situation has improved now?
I was wondering about that wording as well, it's such a weird way to word it. You had a feature, you took it way, and now you're working on a solution... for what?

Did Google develop a new internal blogging platform and just didn't get around to supporting RSS?
>If I surf over to another (Internet surfing) country because the server is physically located in that country, I again am forced to follow the laws that apply there.

on the other hand if you go set up a business that sells to citizens of that other country do you have to follow rules to be allowed to sell stuff there? You see how the analogy is a little closer aligned?
The only thing that bugs me about this is that they used bunnies rather than making a specific "spell effect/scripting" NPC. (I mean just one type to be used everywhere rather than bunnies, not a new one for each use.)

It's common enough of a pattern in other games, and the #1 bug is that someone forgets to click the "invincible" checkbox somewhere, your scripting 'bunny' dies, and then the game just breaks. If you create a NPC type just for scripting, you can have it default to invincible & invisible (or no model to begin with.)
RSS feeds are still around, but they're starting to disappear. Like, eg, Google removing RSS support from their developer blogs...
googleblog.com runs on Blogger so has full RSS support. Presumably these other blogs were using something "custom" and after some rewrite/overhaul RSS support didn't hit the priority line.

In a cohesive organization they would improve Blogger to fulfill their needs, but instead they just waste resources recreating a one-off solution over and over again.
Not using RAG, and using Supervised Finetuning post pre-training. It's taking all of the corporate data and pretraining a foundational model further with that extra tokens. Then SFT. Problem with usual finetuning is that it gets the format right, but struggles when the domain knowledge is not in the model's original training. Think of it as creating a vertical LLM that is unique to an organization.
For what it's worth, I'm not aware of anyone who believes inheritance "ontologies" was a good idea, nowadays. Interfaces sure, but composition is just better for this reason. ECS is a formalization of that, and probably even perpetuated the idea, but it's everywhere I look now.
This is more like insurance. If you move to the mountains, you have to pay for special fire insurance because mountains have forest fires.

The U.S. is an extremely productive economy with at least one enormous cyclical natural catastrophe attached to it. If this natural catastrophe is preventable, and the costs of prevention are outweighed by the costs of losing the US economy, then it's probably worth doing.

I just assumed that it was one of those things that isn't economically or technically feasible.
I like a mega challenge that is manageable because everyone can do their tiny part. Like the Justdiggit project [0], on a mission to regreening Africa and cooling down the planet. All one needs is a shovel and knowledge how to dig shallow holes with a ridge to avoid rainwaters flushing furtile topsoil away, and store water for plants to grow in the dry season.

Explainable automated pain recognition in cats
It seems like it doesn't answer it's own question, so I'll pose another.

The entire Lua core is 15kLoC. Is that more than or less than what's needed for python's "a + b", assuming a and b are defined.

I'm genuinely curious.
Don't mean to speak on behalf of OP, but yes, no, yes, and yes.
I think having a single place to record all your transactions would be a good feature. And if they have a way to send receipts to customers via SMS/whatsapp, it would be a great.
tl;dr -- likely yes, by building geothermal power plants. This would cost billions (not trillions) of dollars. It would generate a fair bit of power, but not an extraordinary amount. They would run for (depending on how many we build) anywhere from a thousand to a hundred thousand years.

And if we're not careful there's a slight chance we could trigger an eruption instead of preventing one.
ANY indication the video was fake? I see none. The example at hand is nice and all, but if you say someone is faking you better have receipts.
> “It’s purely an effect of daylight or darkness — and it’s huge for pedestrians,” said Michael Flannagan, a retired professor at the University of Michigan.

> In the dark, pedestrians are harder to see than other road users. They typically don’t wear reflective gear or lights, and their outerwear is often dark in color. American roads also weren’t particularly engineered with this risk in mind.

I often drive around Ann Arbor (home to U of M), and there are a lot of oblivious idiot pedestrians, both day and night. For the college students, I sometimes wonder if their dangerous actions are assertions of their social status. "See all the grown-ups in fancy cars slow / brake / swerve for me!"
Reforming the overall approach would probably do more for numeracy than tweaking the end stage curriculum.

As it is now, you have ~3 groups of students in most K-12 math classes. A group that is bored because they have mastered the concepts being presented, a group that is benefitting from the concepts being presented and a group that doesn't have the framework to benefit from the concepts being presented.

There are of course lots of teachers that will be doing what they can to address the gaps, but it needs to be systematic.

I was an airtraffic controller back in the day. I have very high spatial IQ, proven by the airforce. I went into IT because that was not a sustainable career choice.

The threshold to become a controller is so high. I'm in my 30s now and I literally dont qualify to become a controller anymore. When you starve your potential labour pool so greatly, it's going to leave a workload that's impossible. Thus this article can be rewritten every single year and it's going to trend in the wrong direction.
No, I am referring to the 7Bx8 MoE model. The MoE layers apparently can be sparsified (or equivalently, quantized down to a single bit per weight) with minimal loss of quality.

Inference on a quantized model is faster, not slower.

However, I have no idea how practical it is to run a LLM on a phone. I think it would run hot and waste the battery.

I'd say more websites have RSS or Atom feeds than not, based on looking at the data coming out of my crawler. Google's devblogs just aren't really particularly important.
I think you're falling prey to Hanlon's Razor. What probably happened here is something approaching the following conversation:

$PM: Hey $ENGINEER, it looks like this "arr ess ess" thingy has very few users, do you know what it does?

$ENGINEER: Yeah, it's a web standard that publishes a feed of updates to our website. It's kind of neat actually, if you have an RSS read--

$PM (waving hands): okay skip the wikipedia article, that's fine; but does it generate revenue?

$ENGINEER (blinking): uh...no, it doesn't. Anyone can query our RSS feed and update their local cache of articles and read them later, it's actually really useful if you're ever somewhere without interne--

$PM: So we can't monetize this?

$ENGINEER: ...no, this is an RSS feed for a tech blog. We can't monetize this.

$PM: If you remove this and integrate $FEATURE on $PAID_SERVICE, I'll write you a better peer review this year. It's reducing tech debt right? This sounds like an old school thing anyway, I've never even heard of it!

$ENGINEER (heavy sigh): Yeah, whatever man.
The goal is to ring it around the bay. They've been failing to do this for decades. You'll probably be dead before they finish that.
