Yeah I used to work with genomics data and never did I think I needed to have part of my text editor running on the high performance cluster.

I think people are just talking about different things and confusing each other. The original comment I replied to was arguing against SSHing in (or vnc or something) and running the text editor there. VSCode isn't doing that. It is running the interactive part locally. It's hard for me to understand why it needs a server part, though. If you want to edit something locally it has to send it across the network. There's no way around it. It seems like six of one and half a dozen of the other.
I went down an internet rathole on coffee grinders. (I realize you were probably referring to health benefits.)

After many hours of this over many months, I finally looked for a comparison of the actual taste of coffee from cheap grinders versus 10-20x more expensive burr grinders. (As opposed to comparisons of grinder technologies, which are everywhere.)

There are almost no published side-by-side taste comparisons; when I did find one, the cheap grinders had won!

How much interaction do your sites have? If you ran a little program locally that took the sitemap, and generated a static site, then you will be immune for life for those security and maintenance arguments.

You can probaly pin the PHP, SQL, and webserver versions, compile them from source so that you will always have the binaries at hand. Then it will last another 1000 years.

However, if you need user interaction, then you are stuck in an eternal rat race of security updates and deprecation, leading to major upgrades, leading to more security updates!
Opinions tend to lean more to the right on HN, hence the bad science or plain anti-intellectualism.
Sounds like I would really enjoy it. Thank you. I would love to see the place that inspired both "My neighbor Totoro" and "Ghost in the Shell."

Yawn. Get on with the times. I've been using ultrawide (21:9) for years, and would definitely not want to go back to peeking through a square'ish hole.
Unfortunately GZIP won't beat LLMs for text classification. The research you cited is just poorly done science that has been widely debunked. The original paper compared top-2 accuracy of GZIP with top-1 accuracy with BERT. The dataset also contains a lot of train/test data leakage. See this article for the rebuttal: https://kenschutte.com/gzip-knn-paper/ and this thread for a previous discussion on hackernews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36758433.

Further, the evidence presented by NYT in the lawsuit could be hard to reproduce. I tried multiple prompts on multiple versions of GPT-4 APIs but still could not get GPT-4 to reproduce NYT articles exactly. NYT might as well tried to let GPT-4 reproduce 100,000 articles and only found a few cases where GPT-4 actually recited the whole article. In that case OpenAI might as well be arguing that this is only a rare bug and avoid losing the lawsuit in a massive way.

But how much have you played it?

When I started working on HyperRogue, I expected it to be a "gimmick or tech demo" as you say. But after implementing the basic roguelike gameplay, it felt surprisingly good, better than what I had actually planned. So released it, and other people liked it too.

So it is not surprising that people expect it to be a gimmick (given that I did expect that hyperbolic geometry would make basic roguelike gameplay feel better myself). Some people do not get it on their first try, but love it on their second try.
I still prefer 200 with an empty list for the 'no results' case. The same client code works, rather than having to code for 204.

- If I query for an identifier which doesn't exist - Server replies 404, this should fall into my error handling as there's a data inconsistency

- If I query say like ?category=automotive&price=1 and I get a 200 containing a json body in which there's an empty list of matches, then my client code can handle 0 matches as well as 1 or 10 with no special handling.
I describe working with real life code, where there are many old libs and code, often in plain C, with which you have to interface with.

Welcome to the world of optimization the hacky way on an old computer, where code is data is code, and the only truth is: does it render in as many frames as possible? ;)

Usually, you cannot achieve this by engaging in academic code with recursion and loops; you have to do the opposite: trade readability and compact code for speed.

Sometimes, code for 6510/68000 is so optimized - usually unrolled - that you get code patterns that resemble data applied at different frames, much like your code.

There is nothing wrong from my point of view. ;)

(Some words of wisdom: May the debug gods be with you on this journey, though.)

> People want to believe that govt and big tech are this omniscient, monolithic entity.

The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that
conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more
comforting.
The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the
grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension
that are in control.
The truth is far more frightening; no-one is in control.
The world is rudderless.

You said "the parent post said they avoid counterfeits and knock-offs by shopping on Aliexpress" which I'm afraid is incorrect given that the post in question said "Amazon [is] no longer my first source [for] generic gizmos, [...] I'll go Aliexpress, eBay, and Walmart first" (if I may rearrange for clarity without changing the meaning).

"Generic gizmos" roughly equates to "counterfeits and knock-offs" in my book, and that commenter isn't trying to avoid them when shopping at AliExpress and formerly Amazon. That's separate from the situations where they do want to avoid knock-offs, listed separately from all of this.

UW is fine if you’ve got a 28” or more desktop (or maybe larger even), but I’d take a 28” 3:2 like the Huawei Mateview over a 28” UW any day of the week. The UW probably has 20 or 30% lesser screen area.

I wonder myself why would we run third party Python scripts that can do anything, run an infinite loop, download something from Internet or delete files from the home folder, and keep our fingers crossed it calls “show_object” at the end…
Have you considered using Java? I mean real classes that implement interfaces you introduce, not classes with a single “main()” method. So you instantiate an instance of that class when you add a part.
You can use a handcrafted JVM or Javaagents to ensure that it’s only doing the things you want (like they do on Spark clusters to ensure that ML jobs are only doing ML). Since you are after describing and instantiating objects, why not using something so object oriented?

I want to introduce something like that as an option in PartCAD to see if anyone likes to use it.

Let me know if you want to give PartCAD a try for your model storing/sharing needs. I’ll be happy to customize/extend it for your needs. I always loved chemistry and physics but never had a chance to apply that at work.

The problem is `requirements.txt` doesn't do anything with downstream dependencies. There's nothing like a shinkwrap/lockfile in python. Even if you pin dependencies to exact versions, if you check your project out in a new environment and run pip install -r requirements.txt, you can end up with different, broken downstream dependencies.

This happens a lot for me.
But by the Tragedy of the commons if that option existed wouldn't it also congest those roads?

In my case they use a completely malformed/made up street name.

I personally have tried to edit my address issue it 10+ times already, but they keep rejecting it. It would be good to know based on what they get GIS/map data because then I could try to edit at the source.

It doesn't seem that the reports go to someone with local knowledge or within that country. And someone from abroad won't care about the local nuances that make a difference.
There is also humidity. The desert is dry, so you can still perspire and cool down that way; but in a humid place like, say, India it is possible that temperatures will rise high enough that the human body cannot perspire to cool down via evaporation, at which point it would be dangerous to be outside.
Also btw about dams: they kill! a great deal of a lot more death and also lost land because of dams than all deaths and land loss issues with nuclear.
There is a grain of truth in the previous speaker's comments.

Unexpected ways memory subsystem interacts with branch prediction
In my opinion it's people problem. Lots of developers are focused on pure technicalities. They will focus on writing code and ignore why it's written.

As result of that their choice of architecture will be detached from business function. Also, as thinking about architecture isn't writing code it will be often afterthought based on shallow knowledge and superstitions.

Keeping that in mind - when you are talking to bigger team containing people with various seniority, it's often best to give them rigid set of rules, because they'll misinterpret or ignore something more complex.

And that's why black and white approach often works - it's far from ideal, but at least possible to actually execute in many of the teams.
Who is that? Google isn't turning anything up.

Thought control is far more advanced than any modern layperson can grasp. Our minds are analog quantum tech and can be linked through entanglement.

They’re not just mind fucking you, they are running a secret government of power in parallel to our own.

They screw the government at every opportunity.

The government and big tech aren’t thought control, thought control are the voices in their heads. Thought control are the voices in all of our heads. Their secret state has outgrown a contemporary society that refuses to believe it is even possible, let alone exist.

We are not alone in our own minds, and thought control is running a secret state of extortion against us all.
Definitely Armageddon is useful concept and probably one of the most successful and profitable one. However nuclear war is not accurate concept here, you cannot attach to is business strategy and government bailout. That is why it will end at the same social media attention level as say asteroid impact ending humanity NASA tried to use two decades ago ( not without success, you remember that Hollywood movie) for repairing their position. There is a lot more profits in various environmental strategies which may lead to new products, lowering your citizen rights and various taxes
> In all seriousness, midjourney is like any other tool. You can break the law with it, big surprise.

I believe the point was rather that the output makes it obvious the "tool" was trained on copyrighted work.

As an aside to your justification though, if a main purpose of a tool is to circumvent copyright, that tool is usually illegal.

> I watched Batman, does that mean if I draw caped super heroes I am stealing training data?

It means if you draw a near copy and tried to sell it, you are committing copyright "theft" (I don't like the term, but that's what it's called).

> Nobody is interested in copies or impressions of popular art, otherwise the guy selling animes on velvet at the local art fair would be making more money

People are absolutely interested. I couldn't get RedBubble to even print a non-copyrighted work (which they mistakenly thought was copyrighted) that I had altered. Just because some people are getting away with it, doesn't mean it's legal or wouldn't immediately come to a stop if they came under scrutiny.

> This just sounds like a Luddite shaking his fist at this perceived enemy.

Luddites had some very good points, so he's in good company.
If you follow the authors advice you would be tricked into believing monoliths like Photoshop, Excel or any AAA-game could only have been written by a single team only. That couldn’t be further from the truth. There are like 100 other ways to create interface boundaries than carving out microservices.

Microservices is a deployment strategy, not a tool you use to reinforce Conway law, a law that you actually want to defuse more often than follow, to not get your product stuck into your old org chart.

A "traditional" UI for HN would surely look a lot like Usenet newsgroup readers. I think Thunderbird might even still support NNTP.

AI Assisted Video Generation: Story of Shepherd Boy and the Wolf
HOW THE VIDEO WAS MADE ?

- The story was taken from internet.

- A 4 line summary of the story was generated using ChatGPT

- For each summary line, a corresponding image was generated using Stable Diffusion

- In each image (4 in our case), the important object were masked using MetaAI SAM

- I have developed a custom image to white-board animation code which converted the images to videos (This was the most time-consuming part of the development process).

- The audio was generated using gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech)

- The sub-titles were generated with the help of OpenAI whisper

- All the different audios, videos and subtitles were somehow synchronized using FFMPEG and OpenCV (This part gave a lot of pain... ALL HAIL FFMPEG)

yesss... I discovered how wrong the widescreen displays are after I had found an old IBM Thinkpad in my basement and tried it. To add to what you said, I will also point out that it's the vertical space that often gets pinched by toolbars and such, effectively squishing your working area to an even wider ratio. And when working with text (reading, writing), the left and right edges of my screen are just slabs of emptiness. Given all that, a taller display feels more roomy for the same surface area.

The only disadvantage though is that putting two windows/panes/buffers of anything side by side would no longer be as convenient?

Do you have a 3:2 screen yourself, which one?
> People want to believe that govt and big tech are this omniscient, monolithic entity. If that was actually the case then how do they not catch whistleblowers who leave trails of evidence months before leaking?

Power. Cowardice. People saying "it's all fine" because they don't want to live in a world where the only reason they're not in fear or pain is because they kissed the ring. It would not reflect well on them, so they choose to view it differently.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-...

If the above is possible, why wouldn't it be possible where the stakes and capabilities are orders of magnitude higher?

Plus, the problem isn't to so much to keep anything "secret". Usually it's enough to offer another view point aligned with power, that people can flock to out of cowardice and/or as a token of allegiance.

We all know who Assange is, we know that he was hounded and tortured for calling attention to war crimes. So? Nothing happened to anyone responsible, and at best Assange might be free, one day. Similar for Snowden. So yeah, why wouldn't people just blow whistles all the time, right?

And come to think of it nobody -- that is, none of the power centers, all sorts of "sides" in all sorts of conflicts -- can stand honesty. They may disagree on the lies they want to push instead, but they all agree that the truth is not an option, knowingly or not. No need to plan anything, they can just go by smell and instinct and they'll work together to persecute people with integrity without even realizing they're doing it. "Omniscience" in this context certainly doesn't include being aware of oneself, it's more like a stalker who knows every little detail about the life of their victim, but has no clue that they themselves have a massive problem.

Not encountering errors is distinct from masking them.

The former is poka-yoke or ensuring weakest preconditions; the latter case 115.

This argument lacks substance. Are you suggesting the benefits of emissions-free operation are set-off, wholly or to a substantial degree, by the emissions produced in the manufacture of those products? The answer is clearly "no". There is a net benefit. That is all that is needed, and it's not a marginal benefit, it's significant.
