Ask HN: Is there a data set for GitHub repos associated with academic papers?
Codes are often included in academic publications however I haven't seen a list of repos anywhere that is connected to doi numbers from papers or zenodo. Does this already exist somewhere or should I need to create it?
Writing to /proc/pid/mem requires access to ptrace. I never said it would use ptrace directly.
You can use it today with containers in Lambda or a custom Lambda runtime, but both approaches have embarrassingly slow cold start. Lambda has special optimizations for Node which are not possible without official support.

I have no idea when Lambda would add an official runtime layer. But if you work at Lambda and are interested, feel free to email me - jarred@bun.sh
To not accidentally hurt myself as much (if at all), compared w/ 2023
The trouble is that, in addition to all the world's knowledge, our devices put all the world's opinions in our pockets too....
People didn't pull out a magazine while in a group and read an article for 5 minutes. a bus wouldn't be literally filled with nothing but people reading magazines and books, nobody punished their children by taking their magazines away.

We did have, say, "portable entertainment". music players were kinda similar to this too, but yeah there is a massive difference.
As a young man, I would have given nearly anything to attend Stanford or MIT, but I knew I wasn’t quite up to their standards. Now I find their presidents are not up to mine.
Happy New Year to all of you as well. 15 years and counting here, can't believe it's been that long already.

2023 has been a pretty wild ride, a lot of our possible futures are riding on some key decisions that will be made in 2024, I hope they will all fall in the way that will lead to a more stable and peaceful world.
Aesthetically easy may not be punk but punk rock is notoriously easy to play and the barrier to entry is about passion, not technical achievements.

Technology stripped to just the essentials necessary to further the ethos seems pretty punk to me.
Yup, if the feature was useful it could be added to the platform
Few of the "much larger building"s going up recently in NYC are high-density, affordable living space.
I think it depends on the person. Other than a few favorites, I've never tended to rewatch movies, reread books, replay games, etc. I think that a lot of it may be that a lot of the appeal to me is in "figuring out" the content so that once I know how things play out I don't care all that much about reexperiencing the playing out itself.
Glad to see this finally up here. I posted it a couple weeks ago and was shocked that I hadn't heard of it sooner. I expected it to rocket to the top, but instead it just languished (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38642298).

I've been blown away by Bazzite. I haven't yet (so far at least) run into any downsides of being on Bazzite instead of SteamOS, yet have had numerous upsides. I've wanted my Decks to be on my tailnet for a long time, but that was not an easy proposition. There's numerous packages that don't flatpak well that I've wanted to install into my base OS but haven't been able to until now! An example, I use Remote Play to run the games on my beastly desktop while viewing them on my TV. Something I routinely do is SSH into the host machine and run htop in one tmux pane and nvtop (for my AMD card, yes it works great with AMD now!) in another pane. To me this feels like the difference between driving with a speedometer and tachometer vs. driving without. Such a simple thing, so hard to do with Steam OS, yet so easy with Bazzite.
People might listen to a radio while driving, or have a TV show on while eating dinner or chatting with friends, magazines/newspapers might be expected at doctor's offices.

We didn't dip in and out of personalized media feeds throughout the day, getting bombarded with what's happening right this minute with our family, friends, city, state, nation, celebrities, industries, hobbies, etc... everything was slower, people seemed more methodical and present.
I tried PopOS! recently and nvidia GPU worked 100% fine out of the box, without doing anything.

I'm on openSUSE TW, and I considered systemd-oom, but the setup/configuration procedure for it is pretty elaborate. So I opted for earlyoom, which worked just a fine and required no manual configuration whatsoever.

In my opinion, if your distro already integrates systemd-oom, like Fedora, it's easier to just use that. Otherwise earlyoom is the next best choice.

Also it's recommended to enable zram. It's much faster than a swap partition or file. The combination of earlyoom and zram made my system much more responsive when it's running short of memory.
Sure - site nav definitely needs improvement

Sure, but they are there for the /big/ problems. The myriad of small real-life problems that sometimes are solved by an intern with Excel and VBA are way too small to get handed to the professionals. Those things that would cost just 2 developer days are never handled (because the dev org doesn't keep a bench of developers sitting around for these small one-off tasks and thinks in multi-year projects).
Better yet, download more RAM.
I suspect focusing on a set of hardware and making it work really well is part of what makes the OS so good. Hardware configs explode in a combinatorial fashion, making it impossible to test everything once you have more than a few options.

True that. I used to feel bad not being able to get into these schools due to mental health issues. Felt insecure. Now I’ve looked around at the community of the Ivy League, the various so called success stories like Zuckerberg, and of course incidents like this.

All I see is the rich fucking over everyone else for power and inflating public perception of their intelligence to try and keep actually intelligent people down.
> I see that it does make quite a lot of sense if you're trying to get electrical engineers who used to design actual physical logic circuits into programming PLCs

It was specifically designed for electricians (sparkies), not electrical engineers. And indeed, it’s intuitive with that background. Junior engineers struggle at first, but ladder logic is an elegant language for the problem domain.
I'm not lecturing them for leaving. I'm lecturing them for complaining about things that it WAS IN THEIR CONTROL TO ADDRESS. More than that - it was their actual JOB to ensure.
> Playful programming is writing something for the sake of writing it. It’s making a software 3D renderer or a GIF reader, even though better implementations of those already exist. It’s making generative art programs and drawing them with a pen plotter. Cassette itself is playful programming—there are certainly other scripting languages that may be better for personal projects like these, but this one is mine.

Nice hack!

>I just wanted to share the above photo of a subway car from 1947 where every single person, even though they’re in a confined space together, aren’t paying any attention to each other because they’re reading media on a newspaper. The recent version of this is, of course, cellphones and iPads, yet the same people out there who hate change continue to cry foul.
While it's true that there were always ways to entertain oneself, I'd argue that the the ease of consumption (or alternatively, "effort required to consume") and potency of the effect on dopaminergic networks in the brain have increased _dramatically_. And unfortunately, it turns out that this kind of entertainment is directly related to the biggest money firehose that humanity has ever invented: targeted advertising.

Which means that the world's most powerful algorithms have a strong incentive to optimize both of those variables. Great for the people in control of the algorithms and content networks, not so good for the people who are suddenly exposed to a very powerful "drug" that they were not prepared to keep at bay.
Seems like every day the rules apply to thee but not too me. Except I never seem to be the me in this situation. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Category Theory for Programmers [1] covers monoids (and other concepts). There’s a YouTube series of lectures by Bartosz Milewski too.

To get a complete intuition spending some time learning Haskell will also help.

I still support a few sites and continue to update one large app written in it.
gotta be the same reason programmers never really adopt UML diagrams as a fundamental unit of programming: they're great pedagogical tools but once they get used and software is in flight, they redundant and take energy to keep up to date. Then there's the necessary training for both contributing and understanding.
> Imagine if everyone just used mobile drivers licenses issued to whatever self-sovereign wallet the user chooses. Identity issuing, revocation, and recovery is then handled by all the things society has already built to handle meatspace identity.

But why do you need to tie it to your driver's license? Tie it to whatever kind of account recovery token you like, put that in a safety deposit box at a bank (available for ~$20/year), and then you can get access to that with your government ID if all else fails.

This requires no new infrastructure to screw up or get broken into and doesn't tie your internet activity to your name while still allowing you to use your name to recover your accounts.

> Relying parties that need human uniqueness, age, and/or nationality guarantees use the mDL verifiable credential.

This is variously unnecessary and ineffective.

The correct way to do age verification is to ask the client's browser if the user is a minor. If the user is a minor, either their parents will have configured the device to answer truthfully or the minor has access to an adult willing to allow it, against which no remote system is secure anyway because the adult has an adult ID.

This is the same reason human verification doesn't work like that. You still have no idea if you're talking to a human, all you know is the device on the other end has somebody's ID attached. Individuals who aren't supposed to be using AI still have a human ID and criminal organizations not only have their own IDs but also any they can steal.

It's not clear why proving nationality over the internet is necessary but most of the obvious use cases are dystopian and requiring you to visit a physical office once in your life to prove your nationality to some bureaucracy (after which you can use your account) seems like a minor burden -- and more secure -- than trying to do this.

That kind of system is not worth the candle. The tracking risk is large, the benefit is small, there are too many ways to screw it up and it would inevitably be politically compromised and hard to change.
New Year's resolution should be in 4K or better (2022)
I worked at a fintech that employed both MIT graduates and people that didn't go to college at all.

With our hiring and interview process serving as a great filter, it was impossible to tell who fell into which population until they told you.
>People complain all the time about "being addicted to our phones" but my memory of the world pre-smartphone was that newspapers and magazines were everywhere and frankly...I'm not really seeing the difference - in quality or content.

I have to vehemently disagree with this one. Since the advent of Twitter, news has become "who is first" over "who is most accurate", and it has become a cancer on all of mankind. The quality was so much better it's almost difficult to describe to someone who is under the age of 30.

I can't even imagine something like Watergate happening today, and if it did it would have had nowhere near the impact because half the US population would've been seeing Russian misinformation on Twitter convincing them it was all a "deep state conspiracy" and they'd believe it.

Indeed. ECC is non-negotiable, even for "consumer"-grade servers. Heck, also for workstations. Less/no mystery software malfunctions.
Not a parent poster - but building all kind of crap that anyone can come up with is not the right thing to do.

One might think you need all of it right here right now - but in reality if you build 20% that is really really needed you get 80% or I could bet even 95% of actual work done needed for the company to improve productivity/performance etc.
Don't confuse the reddit/twitter crowd with the businesses dealing with billions of dollars. The latter can not survive - or at least can not operate in any way that is connected to the US financial system or touching it in any form - if they don't play nice with regulators like OFAC. They could be all ancaps in the depths of their souls, but if they don't play nice, they'd end up in jail. It's not dependent in any way on their politics or the strength of their convictions - it's just how it is when you're dealing with the financial markets. You can be as anti-government as you want, but if you do what the regulators consider money laundering, either you stop it immediately when they tell you (or before), or you will get shut down. If they are not getting shut down, then they are likely cooperating, there's not much other options.
> some FS won't let HDDs go to sleep

Which ones?
I'm not sure it's a fair to compare your average Disney movie to famously transgressive/extreme examples of anime like Berserk or Elfin Lied. That would be like comparing One Piece to something like Watership Down.

For every Berserk or Elfin Lied there's a Bocchi the Rock! or Spy Family.
Pretty much everything is moving to UUID of sorts including Google auth.

It's tricky because you often need to let people reference username/emails for mentions and etc, so you just have to index all of em and translate to UUIDs for references behind the scenes.

It gets extra tricky with APIs. Consider AirPlane.dev which let's you specificy approvers via email. Now a user changes their name and their email. Well, that "IaC" suddenly references an invalid email or worse a different user because jane.doe joined after jane.doe-brown got their new email.
> And it doesn't matter if all of Wikipedia is embedded in the compressor

That's not what I said. I said you can embed a better result. As in, make an algorithm that performs ok in general case, but bake in a super-optimised result that specifically applies to Wikipedia, even if it takes months to precompute.

> Why is a time limit needed?

Would you like to judge my compressor against other ones? It will take 2000 years to get the result, but it's totally worth it, I promise. It's a random search of optimal binaries that produce the Wikipedia and it will stop once I'm over the winning threshold.
Great interview/article.

One thing that leapt out at me, is the use of the deeply archaic spelling "coöperating" (with the 'ö') which I love — is that a thing the NYT is generally doing these days?

(Although I wonder if it's a way they can track people ripping off their content).
Why are you grouping MIT into the same group as Stanford?
Jasenovac should be as well-known as Auschwitz.
There are build systems where this guidance isn't terribly valuable.

With Bazel for example, you typically have build files in each directory, and a test target for each test class in that build. But bazel allows you to select and run targets in a collection of directories, select targets recursively, or by a variety of other criteria. Your CI systems runs targets selected implicitly, while each build expresses the test targets explicitly.
Why is it not the default? Compatibility issues with Windows games somehow?

> Retractions remain exceedingly rare for scientific papers: Just eight out of every 10,000 are retracted, according to a Retraction Watch database.

This to me is a crucial statistic. Is this number much less than it should be? Or are many more papers dubious in their methodology?
What would be the cheapest and lowest power option to get 100G networking (50-100G actual performance is good enough) and at least one 8 lane PCI-e GPU?

I recently subscribed to a newspaper as in printed on paper and delivered to my mailbox once a week. It's pretty interesting experience. Main thing about it is it's finitness. There is only so much information in the weekly issue. It's deliberately slow. It's local and it's more than 140 symbols too.
What was the interview pass rate for MIT grads and people without a college education?
Thankyou for putting it eloquently. The other subtle problem is that people tend to ask silly questions. Maybe I've just been lucky so far, but the focus on recessions seems like a relic of the pre-1970s time when GDP correlated with wages. I'm not seeing why it matters so much these days.

Interest rates are centrally planned, so it is a bit of a philosophical question to ask what it means to "forecast" them. Really it is more a question of politics than any reliable process and the answer is "lower than makes sense". The economy for the last 10 or 20 years looked like it is carrying a lot of value-destructive companies looking for an opportunity to collapse that were almost certainly related to cheap credit. Uber and WeWork spring to mind. US debt is accumulating in a way that would have been making people nervous for decades.

The problem here isn't forecasting, it is money being corralled to purposes that consume more resources than get generated. Being unable to predict what the perturbation against trend will be in 12 months time doesn't seem useful, appears to be impossible and it is weird that people love to focus on it. There are much more serious things to keep an eye on.
Same, clocking in at 13 years and I still visit this place multiple times a day and enjoy it. Also, learned life-changing things here.

Such a fantastic book. One of the most interesting novels I've ever read, from a structural point of view, not to mention it's extremely entertaining. I've got a signed first edition which I'm pretty proud of.

With Poor Things being made into a movie, maybe this book will get the attention it deserves.

debug.exe did not like non-DOS EOL, which caused some problems when copying texts.

If I remembered correctly, debug was only capable of writing 64kB (mono-segment) data? Though one can always create an in-RAM program inside debug to output larger files.
Fun fact: Theo Baker, the student journalist for the Stanford Daily who broke (and continues to break) major portions of this Marc Tessier-Lavigne scandal, is the son of Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for the NY Times.
Sex offender is not a natural category. Registration statutes specify relevant crimes. People who urinated in public were compelled to register because statutes specified genital exposure. Buyers and sellers of consensual sex between adults were compelled to register because statutes specified consensual sex between adults.

The difficulty of proving rape is why rape conviction rates are low. Imprisonment for rape is shorter than imprisonment for murder because most people consider murder worse than rape.
There was always a "who is first" element to the news, but it seems categorically different when "first" was a full day rather than minutes. And it meant you were roundly shamed if you got it wrong, because everyone else had a chance to refute it during the publication cycle.
Punk rock was very simple but it still required a skillset; most punk rock fans probably hadn't invested the time and effort to be able to participate past supporting those that did.

Punk movements seem to have always suffered from this sort of unacknowledged lack of unified or organized abilities.

And their aversion to the mainstream and anarchic tendencies often leave them and their goals in absolute limbo.

Punk rock at least had the benefit of "if you can listen and agree, you're in" though. To be remotely included in cypher/cyberpunk practically requires an education of some kind, especially in the post-"mobile OS is all I need" world.
We have a substantial portion of the worlds knowledge available via smartphones, but it's obscured by a bunch of dishonesty, misinfo, attempts at manipulation, etc. In aggregate it's more like a battleground of thought than a utopian collection of knowledge. I'd say that's pretty far off from what Roddenberry imagined.
It’s a shame, because records and tuples are enormously helpful when trying to optimize React, given how it uses reference equality on objects to bust memoization.
The 31st is music day, so it's not all visuals. Some of the prompts seem ill-suited (looking at you, Bauhaus) but some are fine (I'd like to hear what you come up for "lava lamp"). Perhaps you get a freebie for "wobbly function day" given that music is mostly wobbly functions, but I'd go negative: make music without any trig functions.
Wow that's pretty cool! I first found out I had some virus when I was hex editing my boot/root floppy disks for Linux back in 92? I'd just compiled a kernel and forgot to set the root to the hard disk, swapped disks around and found some bootsector thing that I can't remember at the time. It was initially mystifying how it read okay in DOS, as the virus could hide, but on Linux is where it was laid bare.

Pretty cool how you made such a massive leap! Talk about making lemonade!

I used to carry a book with me everywhere. If I was standing in line at the store, I read my book, doctor’s office? read my book. And yes, when I was younger my parents would punish me by taking my book away. The phone has just made it more convenient to carry books around with me.
Still a good place to study, though.
I understand the sentiment but prions of all things have enormous and persistant fallout. Except for rabbits, they do not seem to develop prion disease if I recall correctly.
