OK. Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense, sorry for being humorless!

If you're looking to prove seriousness of the speed, I don't think CPU %, polling rate, or UDP-guesstimates are what you want. You probably want RTT measurements, which for I/O with mice via LAN is probably a little wonky to get and I guess will be dominated by network.

You could instrument your code and get latency b/w UI callback / USB poll and the time the packet hits the OS buffer / is written out (and reverse on receiver side). That's kind of the only meaningful metric that matters for I/O code and would ignore network effects, and here CPU time is a hard proxy to use.
Perhaps it seems more difficult to earn tenure because ambitious frauds who choke up the system know the worst thing that they can do to themselves is let any honest, rigorous, critically minded academic move up.

Stack committees with myopic pointyheads, strategize departmental budgeting and approvals to keep them in a state of vague paranoia and conflict with each other, and enjoy having a divided, distracted, powerless faculty body?

Look up who's on your state education boards and test the saying, "never let academics decide policy."

I'm looking for a full time Senior Software Engineer role, either as a team lead or an individual contributor. I've been working fully remotely for years.

I have 20+ years of software development experience working with a variety of industries and technologies. I've led teams and mentored engineers. I've filed patents. I've taken a startup to a successful exit. I've founded my own bootstrapped startup. Imagine what I could do for you!
Same, now I want one.
I wonder if hours watched are declining as well - I certainly hope so and some data indicates that this may be the case

The amount of time Americans spend watching TV is staggering, and in my opinion, often to their own detriment.
Great for schools!

If you click on the Optimize, it's already a shuffling. I could add shuffling from there, but it really won't affect optimization too much, as the underlying state is similar.

I can definitely add randomization for fun, but I'm not sure how many people will use it yet. Trying to keep buttons to a minimum at first.

Tom Scott, and the formidable power of escalating streaks
Yeah I'm not really sure what to think about him. He gives off serious grifter vibes and at least some of his claims are probably overblown. On the other hand, who is he hurting? He's "experimenting" on himself and making the results available for everyone. He'll sell you some of the stuff he does but the details of his entire regimen are also freely given away for anyone who wants to do it themselves. He's an unusual person for sure.
ChatGPT is non-deterministic, so obviously doing the same thing will not give you the same result. Maybe it’s time for legislation forcing LLMs to be deterministic so that answers can be reproduced in cases like this. Though that wouldn’t help because ChatGPT constantly changes and there is no way to access older versions.
I agree that they are different scenarios that may lead to different legal frameworks. My point though was that asserting that the "profit" motive is sufficient to conclude something is owed to the creators is faulty logic. Individuals can generate profit from what they learn and we don't generally require them to share their profits with the creators of copyrighted material that they used to educate themselves.

> None of these functions of government is hampered by providing them to any citizens that need them, regardless of their race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.

Yes, but they want to provide advantages based on, not regardless of, protected categories.
> I do however suspect that if you just add an ever so tiny (intelligent) human check to the mix, the use and outcome of any such tools will become so much better. I suspect that will be true for a long time into the future as well.

I love this paragraph. I think that generative AI companies, especially OpenAI, have completely dropped the ball when it comes to their marketing.

The narrative (that these companies encourage and often times are responsible for) is that AI is intelligent and will be a replacement for humans in the near future. So is it really a surprise when people do things like this?

LLMs don’t shine as independent agents. They shine when they augment our skills. Microsoft has the right idea by calling everything “copilot”, but unfortunately OpenAI drives the narrative, not Microsoft.

Hi HN! I'm a Linux security engineer looking for work on Open Source software. I've done some security work in the Linux Kernel (containerization primitives), in systemd as well as some work on Secure Boot.

Notably I've implemented auto-enrollment of secure boot keys in systemd. See (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20255 & https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1259/).

Lately, I've been very interested in MicroVMs and minimizing the Linux Kernel attack surface.

Message me if any of that sounds interesting!
This is wonderful. Very nice execution, and super addictive. I kind of want to do a Commodore 64 version now.

Where I live (New Zealand) holiday pay got complex, and quite a few civil service payrolls got it wrong (IIRC by a few different providors). It tooke years for anyone to notice, and has taken years, and billions, to put right.

Keep it simple. Please
I didn't mean mass shootings.

In my neighborhood I hear gunshots almost every night. There were several shootings within a block of my house just in the last six months, including one where patrons of the nearest bar had to run and hide in the walk-in freezer while two idiots shot at each other (and both missed). Often times I hear shots and check the police log and can't even find a reference to them.
> My problem with the current push for this type of therapy is the requirment that it be done by professionals charging hundreds or thousands of dollars. […] I remain resistant to this insertion of the state into what should be my right to use my own mind the way I see fit.

It's kind of sad to see that the anti-state libertarian propaganda is working so well: the problem at stake here is not “too much state”, it's that you don't have universal healthcare to pay for these professional bills and keep the rate these guys charge at a decent level.

Nobody should be forced to do their own research and risk their health just because therapists are unaffordable.
It’s neither: it’s that our tooling and manual of style[1] is only developed for our specific conventions for English text. Other people have attempted to start alternative projects but getting that set of standards together takes time and effort, and like you say 380k people isn’t that many.

If you do decide to start something then SE’s tooling supports a --white-label flag when creating a skeleton, which would at least get the first few productions off the ground.

First time contributors can have perfectly valid reports, and this particular report was initially written in a reasonably professional style that doesn’t immediately seem out of place (it’s the replies that make it obvious an LLM is being used).

Unfortunately, this issue isn’t likely to go away any time soon, and will probably just get worse as the LLMs get used more widely for this type of work. What probably will happen is that maintainers will have to get better at identifying and screening out this kind of nonsense early, and for platforms to get better at banning people who submit bogus reports (but that’s really going to be a whack-a-mole game).
Sent you an email. Could you provide context what that email is associated with? It's unclear whether this is for the athletic program, the evolution and ecology group, a recruiter, or a rogue undergrad.
I love that we all have our own version of this saying! Here is mine (my dad practically raised me with this haha)

SMTP only won for a relatively brief period. Nowadays it's mostly used for newsletters and transactional mails. Personal messaging moved to IM and Discord, business messaging is now largely Teams/Slack.

I sent someone a business email the other day. They told me I got lucky they even saw it, as they now communicate entirely via Slack. Slack isn't even trying to be an email competitor and it still wins.

SMTP is still useful for cases where the additional feature-set of other platforms isn't important but a globally unique ID is.
> If the goal is to lower rents down the chain, why not just build more units at every price point?

Because zoning prevents that. This is a highly-idealized thought experiment, but imagine a housing market where there's demand for 100 luxury units, 100 cheaper semi-luxury units, 100 still-cheaper middle-class wage earner units, and 100 cheap working-class units. Then imagine that local zoning regulations will only permit 100 new units to be built, and more that that will prompt voter revolt. Which 100 units will be built? Only the luxury ones, obviously. Nobody's going to build cheaper units if it's a mutually-exclusive choice between building cheap ones and the expensive ones.

Zoning is why you only see expensive new housing get built: it restricts how much can be built, so developers respond by only building that which gives them maximum returns. You know how quarterly sprint planning for software takes every feature request, orders them by priority, and then draws a line under how many man-hours worth of work your team can do? Developers do the same thing: they rank development proposals by profitability and then draw a cutoff line under what current zoning will let them do. Loosen these requirements and just let people supply the required demand, and you'll start seeing the units at every price point that you want.

That's actually used to be the norm in Europe, too. Various forms of corporal punishment for smaller offences and death for major ones. Prisons where people would be kept for years at a time are a fairly recent development of XIX century
> If you don't see it everywhere you either don't have an understanding or have discovered something those people would really like to know. From personal experience, it can be a quite useful tool to describe things because of this.

Get off your high horse. I've had my share of Mac Lane. If you can describe something in terms of CT, you can talk to mathematicians who care about CT. I don't see why this helps ML.

> The may be useful, but it has to be justified.
"May be useful" does not beget "justified." CT may be useful in all areas if you ask a CT theorist. I fail to see how CT helps me build a car.

>The latter is de facto the former.

No it's not. You can take you favorite analysis topic and find a suitable category to view your topic from a CT perspective, but this won't tell you how to prove anything. If you did the CT correct you can now make some analogies, but it won't tell you anything specific.

> And yes, math is just models. Or as Poincaré said, math is the study of relationship between numbers. One might also say "the map is not the territory" and you can find several math theorems making this point explicitly about math.

How do you square "math is the study of relationship between numbers" with CT? You can diagram chase without seeing a single number. I have no idea what mathematical theorem you are referring to, but if you're extrapolating philosophical points from a mathematical theorem, you're doing it wrong

> You may even find one by reading my username with a little care. More than one if you take more care.

Ok I'll bite. You seem to be into Normalizing Flows. How does CT explain it being useful?
Does it mean anything for cloud storage pricing?

I lived in Delray Beach in Florida. The only choices at the time (2001) were Publix, which was poor, and Crown Liquor, which was where I bought bread. Wholefoods wasn’t good.

As a beer drinker, Heineken was the only beer I’d buy (note I lived in NL) though there was a microbrewery by the Boca mall that was ok.

I also lived in BE so I’ve experience with chocolate. I am English though. At the time, Godiva was considered good in the US.

Pip.

Generally, reliable python setup is really easy (at least on linux, don't know about other platforms).

1. Don't use the prepackaged system python. You don't want package installs interfering with stuff your distro needs. Build python from scratch from source after apt-get or pacman installing the necessary dependencies for full functionality, then use make altinstall. It will leave the binaries in the major.minor version format without overwriting the python3 symlink.

2. Use get-pip.py to install pip by invoking it directly with the python version you just built. This will alias pip and pip3 to point to the correct version. Optionally, you can uninstall any package manager installed pip for safety. The pip executables should be in .local/bin

3. Never run pip as sudo, so that it install packages in user home directory (.local/lib)

4. If you need version control, use virtual environments.
The specific word choice isn't the key. The start of responses to most requests end up looking like:

Interjection! Polite confirmation or denial of request. Apologize for prior mistakes if prompt included correction to prior output.

Its all very formulaic for something that is supposed to be generative. Its like they all spend some time training at Ditchley Park.

Show HN: Differential – TypeScript services with the DX of local functions
Hello HN!

Over the last few months I've been working on Differential.dev.

It's a tool that I built to solve the problem of connecting n domain services, with the simplest possible abstraction - function calls. (Typescript only for now)

Internally it uses a service bus that ferries functions calls, but all of this is abstracted away from a developer. You can use it (as I have) in brown-field projects to split a monolithic service to domain-driven services, without splitting the codebase.

It's fully open-source under a GPL 3.0 License: https://github.com/differentialHQ/differential

Keen for feedback, if you have any. You can also contact me at nadeesha at differential.dev.

Why should LLMs have the same rights as humans?
I very clearly recall going through the cleaning goods aisle with my then three-year-old sitting in the cart when he saw something familiar, perked up and yelled, "Dad, you have to get Oxy-Clean. It gets the tough stains out."

"Kid, we really need to cut back on your TV time."
Eh, debating what's a "blog" and what's a "personal website" is splitting hairs.

Most "blogs" nowadays don't have the features you're talking about, because very few people actually care about them anymore. If you really want comments, you can add them via something like Disqus, but so few people are using RSS today that it's not worth bothering with.

>>>you can see their top suppliers, and floow the number of shipments (water based bills of lading, not air) and see where all their products are going

>>>shipments...companies are getting from suppliers in China, you can make some inferences to the health of their sales

Vision into shipments from OEMs in .CH to USA can provide great insight. What is more interesting is seeing the financual influence that the major importers have over the suppliers.

If you look at a classic example of cars, the Eagle and the Talon, while officially (based on sub-frame) were the same car, but by two different car companies, (hence a diff fairing body).

You can see the supply from .ch/.tw OEMs (Giant, Trek, etc) were largely diverted to their largely .com(USA) vendors, with a large majority of the shipments of bicycle frames going to the east coast - and through the supply tracking of bikes, one could see where that economic heat make laid.. thus - could see where mayhaps one may short/invest?

SEEKING WORK | USA | REMOTE
I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including hardware prototyping, networking, distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and market fit. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy code bases.

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

I agree. It’s SO antiquated. Nevermind issues with clearance there’s even issues like pilots forgetting what was ordered or ATC not catching incorrect read backs. This is just ridiculous that still in 2024 we are using technology from 1950 as the only way to give instructions. We solved encryption and authentication years ago. FAA should mandate strongly authenticated computer messages as the primary.

But you know the real reasons it’s old.

1) corporate greed and no regulation

2) legacy… it’s always legacy holding us back. All the third world countries, Russia, etc would not adopt it.
