I initially thought this question was whether Twitter is the right platform for me

Then I figured it's about whether it's actually working right now
I wonder if they knew that they could get html versions of the paper by just changing the link from ...arxiv.. to ar5iv..
On other hand it cannot own property or earn money. So it is pretty pointless to sue one...
Definitely worse - on paid. It’s just so fucking verbose instead of doing what it’s asked - despite setting base prompts to be concise etc.

Every coding problem it writes me a tutorial instead of giving the solution. It’s infuriating and didn’t used to be like this.
Enough talk, has anybody, replicated what Deepmind has done?
The only way to know if you like something is to do it yourself. If you want to do data science, go work on some data science projects. If you like it, keep doing it.
That fragmentation is one of the reasons why in the end you get an Electron app.

Most people don't want to spend hours tweaking Enlightenment themes, or keyboard shortcuts for tiled windows.
Good. I was nearly hit numerous times by riders on the sidewalks here in SF. They provided something easy for people to get around, but in the end people were reckless with them. I myself had several close calls riding on the janky streets of SF.
Interesting thought. I then wondered if perhaps we could introduce some kind of mechanism like a token that is authorized to spend a certain amount, and then wondered if we could take that concept to the extreme and have one key with some money loaded that users could put into websites. it was at this point I realised I'd just invented the credit card.
everything except spaces is out for me
It might seem obvious, but I'd like to highlight that this illustrates another benefit of a distributed system like Mastodon. Even if one of the Mastodon servers goes down, the others will continue to function.
With that reasoning, one doesn't need an initial randomness file to begin with.

Either you think there's plenty of usable entropy soon enough after power on that values can't be predicted, or you think there isn't and we need to keep a file to initialise from

> an attacker which can feed your PRNG non stop with their own entropy

Is not needed if you know the initial state from the file (which was present in the image file an attacker got their hands on, for example): knowing a sufficient percentage of outputs (such as the tcp seq/ack number (I forget which one the server generates) when you send a decent rate of syn packets) lets you verify which entropy addition would have lead to that output being generated. That's a handful of bits to brute force at each step unless the entropy additions are processed in prohibitively large batches (say, ≥80 bits at a time) which means you start completely predictable until that entropy is accrued (which may or may not be an issue depending on circumstances)
There were tons things they did right. And there's plenty that was done wrong in my Ioniq 5. It's been in the shop twice in 60k miles, which is 2x more in half the miles that my previous vehicle(Chevy Volt) was.

It seems google maps is what backs their nav system, which means it's the only factory-installed nav system that can even come close to competing with google/waze/apple maps.

The touch ui layout seemed to be pretty well thought out, so it's probably about as good as a touch ui can be for vehicle control.

It seems with all the raving over FSD that whatever system operates FSD is entirely separate than the system that operates autosteer, because autosteer tried to kill me(swerve right, into the exit/divider/barrier) at just about every exit I passed.
Maybe this is a good test for what isn't novel. If an LLM trained on our existing creative output can be prompted invent some patentable solution to a problem, then maybe that shouldn't be patentable. Tada, a much less stupid patent system.

There's a difference between banning something for everyone and banning it for minors.

I want my drugs legalized, but that doesn't mean I want to give them to children.
It strikes me as interesting that videos pretty much never change. With web pages it is easy to replace the blog/forum/etc with a bunch of spam. For the initial owner it might be tempted but eventually it is even expected as if it is the whole point of websites? People die, the domain expires, the next owner generates a spam page for it. If it doesn't expire it probably already has a ton of spam on it.

If people could actually find things the whole purpose is gone. (lol)
without reading the article, the title is basically the thesis of every CIO/CTO who's drunk the koolaid and thinks moving to AWS somehow removes complexity. It trades complexity of code for grey problems and complex infrastructure/terraform/builds. Just a note - all extra AWS infrastructure over a simplistic minimum is technical debt.
All I did was tweet ";drop table tweets;"
Decent analogy.

A carpenter solves problems with wood. Sure, they communicate with customers, measure and draw, sometimes say "it can't be safely done"... But if you remove the part where they make a product out of wood, I don't think they are carpenter. They are.. a home solution specialist, something?

If my job was directing others to open source tools and removing dead code, I'm not a developer.
Thanks, that helps understanding it better.

I guess what I'm trying to say to the commenter, is that it would be useful to measure those things (assuming they didn't) before thinking it falls into the category of those people in the study.
The markers I mentioned are very easy to obtain, at least VO2max, and both cases can be reverted if the right specific type of training/intervention.

I went from 30 to 38,7 Vo2 max in 10 months but I could only do it after fixing hormones, before training wasn't effective for me, and I even tried 20K steps day, without success. After hormones fixed, just 15k steps/day would increase slowly but steady my VO2 max.
Hi PaulHoule, really appreciate for sharing your insights, and I've learned valuable lessons from your comment.

I realize now that I may have overlooked the crucial elements of participation and engagement that define the HN community. Moving forward, I am committed to better understanding and respecting the dynamics here. Thanks again for shedding light on this aspect, and I look forward to being a more active and respectful member of this community.
Hey. I had the same idea as you a while back. Did some samples as well. Used a pretty similar approach till the "Generating Other Scales" section. But was not happy with the output. However, I found them as a good seed to generate music using AI systems from that time. The current systems should provide better results.

Here are some examples:

Just tried and no content loads anywhere. Feeds, messages, list feeds, etc. Website seems ok otherwise, renders fine.
When I think about individual features of the UI in isolation, it's easy to appreciate many small touches that I can see are quite nice. Transparency with blur, the glow effects on mouseover, the way it flattened a little bit compared to Vista but still returned some skeuomorphic sheen/gradients/animations, etc.

Other things, I think I enjoyed at the time, but resent in retrospect— the oversized window titlebars, for example, which proved to be a step towards Windows contemporary profligate wastefulness with screen space.

In some cases, evolutionary advances in Windows 7 UI were a step in the right direction (by me), but that of course means that I think later Windowses did it better. A good example here is the search-driven aspects of the start menu, which were introduced (IIRC) when Vista succeeded XP, and gradually increased with each release since. I think menus suck and search is awesome, so imo the way contemporary GNOME or Windows 11 display search results more centrally (and using more of the screen) is more appealing.

Anyhow, I do understand what you mean, I think, about the aesthetic of Windows 7 being exceptionally good among Windows aesthetics. Certain visual elements definitely seem to have hit a sweet spot in that release.
Cries in Australia numbers..
There are 79 sites in total (recent list1), and a different source gave me 1958 for USA (October 2023).

With US population ~14x that of Aus (~350m vs ~25.5m), the ratio of chargers in the US is over double ours, plus your build output is way higher too.

We share that the non-Tesla chargers are largely useless.

No. Try logging in and youll see its empty.
Regularly - including at random times not related to sleep. It also randomly blows away mounts on the underlying VM from time to time which means recreating the machine and any images - and every time on qemu update. There have been some very rough edges on Mac for some time now.
This is the latest press release linked to the trial you have mentioned and their presentation at ESMO: https://www.riboscience.com/esmo-2023
Based on anything in particular, or you're just imagining? It's equally possible Elon decided on a impromptu stress test.

I'm skeptical because I've studied a lot of botnet attacks on social media and things usually fail in more patchy ways rather than just Not Working For Anyone.
I thought I got banned.
I agree with this and that is what the current law defines.

That isn't what the entire comment thread is discussing though so I misinterpreted your comment. Apologies
> And how do you build the full index initially without recursively walking the filesystem? Otherwise you're not going to match Everything's performance on initial index creation.

I wasn't planning to; it's a once-off cost - the user experience while using any software isn't degraded by the installation time, is it?

> And regarding the second crucial question: How do you know that a file you saw the last time your app or daemon was running, hasn't been modified in the meantime?

It's a daemon. if it isn't running while the user is using their desktop system, then it's not working or the user has turned it off.

In any case, if a component of the software is not running, then the software is not running.

I mean, seriously, even during regular updates, daemons still run. Even during distro upgrades daemons are still running. The rare cases where files are removed/changed/moved while daemons are turned off are fractions of fractions of a percentage.

My desktop system currently has 2.5m files. There are maybe a dozen files which will be modified during a maintenance-mode bootup, which has happened exactly zero times in the last decade.

For a Linux desktop file finding utility, monitoring all file writes, moves and deletes pretty much puts you ahead of any game in town right now, right?

> You keep saying that, but you're also not giving an answer to how you're going to solve the two major and pretty much only issues.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Issue 1 - Initial index creation: I will create the index during the s/ware installation process and never create it again unless it is missing. To speed the creation during installation, I will use the mlocate.db file if it is found.

Issue 2 - Files that are changed/moved/removed when daemon is turned off: I don't really care, mostly. Those files a) have such a small probability of both existing and being of interest to the desktop user that lottery jackpots have a higher chance of happening to the user, and b) After an MVP, if the userbase requests those files, I'll either hardcode their locations and always check only for those dozens of files that can possibly be changed when daemons are turned off, or allow the user to specify via configuration, the pathname patterns to always check.

I believe that this is enough to satisfy my original claim[1] of " "similar in performance and query capabilities""[2].

[2] I don't recall making any claim along the lines of "walking the filesystem tree is never used".
Ahh yes.. replace the SPOF with a distributed SPOF /s :-)
Was ketamine also causing the male pattern baldness he had before his hair implants?

Well, I do agree with you. I have already started with the basics. Python - I have mostly completed, Tableau - I have started with, NumPy, and Pandas - I have to start learning. Do you know where I can find a huge chunk of datasets I can use to play with? Also, if you could guide me with some project ideas as well?
Religion. I want to ride off the top comment here, but I have a slightly different take on it.

I think what matters is having a core, something you accept as absolute truth. Make new assumptions around this truth. What happens when science conflicts with your truth? You abandon the lower truth and follow the higher truth. Abandon lower truths for higher ones, like a bubble sort. Is scientific evidence the highest truth? For many it is, but you should get there by thinking rationally.

This absolute truth is bigger than yourself. It makes everything else seem really tiny by comparison - you could lose a limb, a child, your wealth, your life, and that's fine. It's an incredibly solid shock absorber.

Then what's the meaning of life? It's difficult to define by life itself, but you can look at the absence of life -- death. What does dying mean, what happens after, and what should you do before? If you're about to die, do you travel the world? Do you shoot up bullies? Do you write a book? All of us are about to die, some are well past half our lifespan. Religion answers a lot of these questions.

Then you work on things with the urgency of someone who is about to die and who knows what they need to do.

That compass is important. It doesn't have to be a god, but if you believe in the highest power, why wouldn't you do whatever they say? Some are polytheists with indifferent gods, but they still have an idea of what happens after death. Your compass can be the world, you can be out to save the world. It can be yourself - plenty of people leave their homes in search of themselves. You'll have yourself through all your life. Why not look after yourself? There's a religion for that too.
Although this feature does improve security, it is due to the CPU, the VM and the main idea was to reduce performance overheads. I do not see adding layers and layers of abstractions the same as more secure. In fact, meltdown and spectre serve as counter-examples.

Also, one can achieve similar effects with containers as well, just think AppArmor, capabilities, permissions, etc., all layers of administrative privileges between some untrusted code and the host.
Sounds more like a visa “gift” debit card
This looks really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, there’s no way that you can succeed as a business doing that. The Delta emulator on iOS works in a similar way and it’s such a hassle there’s just no way to make a viable paid product out of the process
This is also why keyboard layouts which don’t have Alt keys on both sides are such a menace.
Pretty cool that the inventor of the credit card is here on HN!
Planes used to be like this, and I'm noticing more and more they're expecting you to bring your own device, so it wouldn't shock me if they went back to having no inflight entertainment.
We do use it for TV+ shows like Snoopy in Space, so alas, I'm stuck with it being registered
(Deleted, I misunderstood the article.)
Maybe someone backed it up?
I'm using microg's lineage, and something I was wondering when choosing a rom was, how secure are all those roms in terms of supply chain/developpers. There are many, with no big reassuring name behind, and it's hard to trust that what looks like a random rom from the internet is not just a full trojan horse.

It would be nice to have just the one or two options, with app store and some kind of official entities backing (say, states, or universities, or distros).
Twitter (X) Experiences a Glitch, Unable to View Any Posts
It seems that Twitter (X) is currently experiencing some issues. Users are unable to view any posts through various access points. In the “For you” list, the message displayed is: “Welcome to X! This is the best place to see what’s happening in your world. Find some people and topics to follow now.” The same message appears in the “Following” list as well.
It used to be a celebration of how popular Twitter was becoming when one sees the Fail Whale - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter#Outages
Whale Tail
Seems to be going for a while.

I wonder if we'll get some kind of clarification on what happened. Those posts are always fun to read as you get to see what goes wrong on big software with millions of users!

It should be back working soon, i hope. Hopefully no data is lost.
> And the protocol architectures are actually quite similar in shape. Which is not surprising, since good ideas last, and X11 has been around for a long time and has accumulated lots of good things (along with lots of cruft too).

With the XPresent extension, you effectively get "Wayland inside X11". It's a wonderful thing, as X engineering goes anyway, that precisely no one asked for.

The whole point of the Wayland project is to get rid of all the cruft that X has accumulated over the decades. Embedding Wayland inside Xorg would defeat the whole purpose of the project. The very essence of Wayland is to start over with something new, unhindered by legacy cruft, allowing innovation in the Linux graphics space to take place.

So it was decided, unanimously, by the X devs: the X team would become the Wayland team, Wayland would be the future and X would be abandonware. Anyone who wants to step up and take over maintainership of X can, but I don't see a lot of activity happening.
Sorry but I can’t stand when someone takes their own dissatisfaction (which is entirely valid, it’s your life after all) and generalizes it to a grand social theory in a way that is simultaneously immensely self-important (everyone who isn’t dissatisfied in the exact same way as me is fooling themselves, no one could have a different experience from me) and deeply self-pitying (oh noo I’m a literal criminal in this society because someone had a surprised reaction to my dissatisfaction).

> But you can't even say that out loud anymore, because that means "questioning the whole western ideology" and suddenly someone feels threatened, and myself becomes a criminal.

What reality are you living in? The consensus in the west, online at least, seems to be that everything sucks and is getting worse. Personally I think that’s overwrought, but it’s certainly a sentiment that’s everywhere. It sounds like you are the one who’s struggling with the fact that some people disagree with you, which sounds like something you should be able to handle if you want to live a “wild, natural, and rough” life.

> Western culture has become empty and fake - and I'm tired to explain the most obvious thing to so many people - and in the end, they don't believe you anyway. They really believe, they are part of something bigger, are very important and are going to be famous or something. Intellectual vanity and luxury and bragging.

This is the embodiment of the meme of the guy in the corner at the party (“they don’t know…”) while everyone else is dancing happily. The fact that you feel that life in Austria is empty and fake actually does not mean that everyone else must be feeling the exact same thing and are just deluding themselves! The ability to understand that other people have different internal experiences than yourself is a really basic emotional skill.

I’m sorry that you haven’t been happy in the west. I’m sure you’re far from the only one. But your unhappiness doesn’t mean that western culture is against “life itself”, whatever that even means.
@dang please merge the threads.
Imagine working for Twitter ops and getting a phone call from angry Elon at your Xmas party, with a festive hat on, enjoying your beer, and then having to tell everybody you have to leave for the office now at 11 pm.

Any such real-world stories?
I mean, does it need to? Not every comment has to be plethora of hidden information. Sometimes people are just excited.
Any word on this? How much did they cash out before it hit the pavement?
They chose to embrace a razor-blades model-- they sold their soul chasing the consumer market.

People trusted HP printers at the high-end of the market, where words like "TCO" and "duty cycle" matter. That could scale that down to the "prosumer" end of the market very easily. They were pretty close to that already, with the LaserJet 6P and similar. I can recall my first job used two big networked HPs for the bulk printing, and a 6P for a special case (a few dozen sheets per day printing cheques with MICR toner). Despite the hundreds of pages per day volume we ran, the printers were pretty bulletproof.

They also missed the opportunity to take control of a new market: the "second printer" buyer. Target the people who took the "free" or dirt-cheap inkjet printer that came with a PC bundle. When they're fed up with 25 pages per cartridge, using three colours to print black, and drivers that are clearly a less whimsical GlaDOS, you can be there to say "now that you've learned why a $300 printer is worth it, here's one explicitly engineered to solve your pain points." Brother has now successfully captured this market entirely through word of mouth.

One would expect that's the long-term play: selling $49 inkjets was like deciding to double-down on manufacturing 56k winmodems: it might do well in 1998, when the market is flooded with first-time customers taking the cheapest thing they can get, but it doesn't provide you a place to take your brand as customer expectations march upwards.

It's not the best, but this is how I listened to it before they got uploaded to youtube. And no, the Miror B theme in XD is not better than the OG Colosseum version!!

"D" is slang for dick, an LLM would be able to see that connection and think "d.png" is maybe a dick pick.

Edit: So I guess this isn't a safety measure to protect your safety, but to protect your eyes from seeing nude pictures.
codingdave, thank you so much for the heads up! This is very helpful for people like me who are still getting the hang of things here. Thank you very much for your good intentions and advice. What a blessing to have met such a kind person like you! cheers!
You are thinking of wrong problem. It is not about use of AI in new patent. But if the AI can be the author.

Later of which would mean that AI would have some type of personhood like companies have... And currently courts consider that it should not as of now.

Yeah, they need to bring the fail whale back!
Ok, well taking you at face value, Russia opposes us on a global stage and Ukraine is trying to align with us as an ally. Why the fuck would we not back up Ukraine against Russian in this situation then, other than for the fact that Russia is threatening massive damage to us?

That is a reasonable enough question to pause on, but if Russia is threatening that for land gains in opposition to values we support(democracies) then we might as well roll over and show our bellies. We have a significantly stronger military and capitulating to their threats is a net negative to us in both the short and long term.

If someone threatens to kill you unless they get everything they want, you either need to decide to live with them as your master or call their bluff
i think the idea of patent is to share knowledge needed to reproduce the invention. pitty that this is mostly unenforced.
