> how many non-spam emails a week arent getting delivered to you?

My false-positive rate is very low, maybe a couple per month. However, I can predict with a high degree of accuracy when a piece of email is likely to land in the spam folder. Things like confirmation emails, registration emails, etc. are guaranteed to land in the spam folder. It's pretty hard for any system to accommodate those without allowing spam to get by.

That's fine by me, though, because I know when to check my spam folder.
There is nothing more dangerous than certainty of belief.
Having recently moved, I have to give honorable mention to the cheap ikea blackout shades (the folding type, not roller type). We use them in conjunction with curtains, and despite having to adjust them manually, they really last a long time and work great for the price.

Vaayu | Remote (European Timezones) | Full-Time | https://www.vaayu.tech/

At Vaayu, we are on a mission to fight climate change. E-commerce has a big climate impact so we are focusing our efforts on helping retailers measure and reduce their carbon emissions. Calculating carbon manually can take months and is very expensive. Our goal is to make carbon analytics easily accessible to every online retailer.

Our automated software is already serving sustainability leaders like Klarna, Wunderman Thompson, Armed Angels or Organic Basics, linking up with shop platforms to deliver the tools necessary for retailers to take charge of their environmental footprint.

We are a distributed company based in Berlin, with an international and diverse team throughout Europe. Last year we closed an $11.5 million seed funding round led by Atomico.

If you are an innovator, want to work at a purpose-driven startup, and would like to collaborate with us in shaping the culture of a growing team on a mission to make a positive impact on our planet, we’d love to hear from you!

Our current stack includes: Golang, JavaScript, Python, Vue.js, D3.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Neo4j, BigQuery, Kafka, Pub/Sub, Google Cloud, Linux, Kubernetes, Docker and Terraform. We are also open to other technologies.

We're currently looking for a Golang Software Engineer, more details: https://grnh.se/5f1d82c2teu
Harvard University President Claudine Gay Is Resigning
I have fixed numerous home appliances over the past two decades almost entirely thanks to YouTube and eBay, and a willingness to apply myself. If the YouTube video has no intro and its subject is about your problem, you can be almost certain you're about to find out how to fix the problem.

This one confuses me. Anyone know what this means?
Resist, resist.

The knock utility (and associated knockd daemon) are simple and resilient - don't make it more complex.

Instead, add a simple line to your .login (or whatever) that sends you an SMS every time a successful (three packet) knock occurs.

You're the only one that should perform that ... so it would be very interesting if a successful knock occurred without your having knocked ...
For our product, I'd consider an acceptable RPO for our most stringent customer to be no more than 5 seconds of committed data loss under a catastrophic scenario (i.e. primary log writer wiped off face of planet instantly). The reason I say 5 seconds and not 0 seconds is because performance is also a feature, and we don't want to shoot our other foot off if blocking/synchronous log replication happens to get stuck for a few minutes. A region-ending event is orders of magnitude more rare than a fiber cut, so an argument can be made for async replication.

There are other bank systems that do utilize hard, synchronous replication semantics (hopefully for obvious reasons), but they can afford to sacrifice performance and availability during business hours (more than we can). We always defer to the records in these systems.

We can tolerate a few bits of work getting out of sync and needing to be recovered in the back office. Mopping up a little bit of extra trash after the apocalypse is acceptable to all involved. We cannot tolerate all users being blocked for more than a few minutes, nor can we tolerate a de-sync of aggregate system state exceeding the same. Anything beyond this and we are at risk of having to wipe all work and disrupt end customer activity to keep ops and support teams from crashing.

I consider myself a generalist when it comes to tech stack—I'm proficient in multiple stacks, and I enjoy picking up new tech to solve a specific problem. My biggest strengths are that I love continuous learning and I enjoy the process of solving hard problems.

> What are the alternatives?

Installing the Postgres on the computer, or on a VM.

Really, just the fact that some people keep asking this question is enough to question everything else they say. The alternatives are obvious.
Probably because it is threatening not just one but many different professions at the same time, all of whom believed that it was truly impossible for them to be replaced by a machine. For the record I am not rooting for anyone to be replaced.
That puts it more into context and I do understand the comparison better from that perspective.

It still seems like the whole AI hype is absolutely overblown just as much as the cynical anti-AI hype which I frankly see more of. I really do think it will all die down, we will have another tool in the toolbox and maybe down the road at some point that tool will be instrumental in another hypeworthy breakthrough but whos to say.
Please make your substantive points without the downvote complaint. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Also, if you know more than others, that's great, but in that case it would be better to share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn. Simply posting a putdown doesn't do that.
originally every commit was a full snapshot of the current state of the repository. the repository is now compressed after the fact using deltas but like another person said but it’s really just an implementation detail.

Cabin crew play a critical role in informing the flight deck of external conditions especially fire that would preclude use of specific exits in an evacuation.

Either way, very curious to hear about better ways I could have done this.

I don't see a big change in terms of hiring as of now. I think a lot more openings are being off shored.

In terms of strategy, I am focusing on picking up the right set of peers and leadership than a job. Learned it the hard way that best of the jobs can be ruined by toxic/incompetent environments. Also, work changes rapidly and it important to be in a marathon with the right set of people.

Harvard is private, but they do receive public funds. This exposes them to additional scrutiny.
Just increase tax a bit more to make up for it :)
As a man, I'm not capable of having kids, so it seems a bit unfair to me.
> This all costs money that they presumably will need to raise taxes for.

I don't inherently disagree, but proponents would point out that the alternative also costs money and has other costs (especially for victims where a person turns back to crime after being released from prison).

It's unfortunate I don't think there's any source of data I can trust on the costs in either direction. So to me, it ultimately comes down to what value I'd prefer to see in society. I stand somewhere along the lines of: (1) these men did their time and deserve a second chance and (2) one of the worst things you can do with a violent criminal is release them early, before they're rehabilitated, to see them go on to hurt another victim.

As she should.
It’s all super basic and the recipes are hardcoded in the JS side and you can only search for one ingredient at a time.
I WANTED this to be simple and did this while in between some downtime all on my phone to see what I could push with ChatGPT. Turns out quite a lot.
2000 or 3000 recipes is an amount that nobody ever will cook all at once. Many more still will be repeated, etc.
This all fits PERFECTLY client side and leveraging local storage for the favorites is very doable.
I wanted to combine both usability and simplicity.
Maybe later I’ll support searching by multiple ingredients.

No, attached storage is not part of the node (not directly). It's something like attaching external (host) directory to a docker container. Your can kill the node/pod and storage is not affected, later you can attach new pod to the same storage.

That's a great question. How do you operationalize success?
The answer is: it depends. It depends on if you use persistent volumes, and how well is your pv isolated from the failed node. If done right, no data loss.

That's not reading. That's guessing. Look up the "three cueing system" for reading. It's a workaround for bad readers. You're saying that people can read music, unless the music does something unexpected, and then they'd play the wrong thing. And possibly never know it. So they're not reading music at all. Why bother?

Can you pronounce these fake words? I'll bet your pronunciation is basically the same as everyone else with a similar accent. Yet none of the middle letters are on your list. That's because you can read. Advocating for guessing what the next note is when sight-reading is terrible advice. You will learn the song wrong and never fully un-learn it.

I'm not being snarky! I genuinely feel I'm the one being gaslighted, by people telling me I shouldn't be utterly blown away by answers like the earlier example, or the one I just received:

https://i.imgur.com/JSWLFOi.png

I regularly get downvoted and criticized for suggesting this tool to other students, in defiance of what I can clearly see happening with my own eyes. I see a tool that, if developed further, will answer much deeper questions, including original ones, just as accurately and effectively. One that appears capable of taking humanity to the next level so fast it will make the monolith in 2001 look like an abacus by comparison.

Meanwhile, you tell me, "Don't suggest this to other students, it might hallucinate." Other people say, "Shut this down at once (or nerf it beyond any possibile utility), it might hurt somebody's feelings." Another contingent warns, "Shut this down at once, it might start a nuclear war." Still other people say, "Shut this down at once, it violates copyright law." The objections just get dumber from there, yet gain traction by the day.

There's never been a time when standing in the way of something like this was right. Why should I think it's time to do so now? (And yes, I acknowledge that you're not personally 'standing in the way', but it really bugs me when people who claim they aren't 'standing in the way' of the technology tell other people not to use it.)

I have yet to see a generative model that isn't pulling heavily towards the training data

When's the last time you saw a human mind that didn't work that way? (Or, for that matter, a parrot's mind.)

Email: See my HN profile.

I've spent about 11 years developing (mostly) backend infrastructure. APIs for finance, healthcare, education and more. Some limited experience in frontend dev with React Native and Vue 3, some desktop dev with .Net/C#. My experience in languages and frameworks is vast and I can generally pick up anything as needed. I am big on infosec and will often be the first to bring up potential security issues.

Right now I'd like to find a new position working on a project that I might utilize myself, instead of something foreign to me. Of particular interest would be developer tooling, accessibility, or something working towards a public good. I want to help build a product or service I can be proud of.
But if the extra $150/mo were never removed and the inflationary pressure never let up, I would expect it to become noticeable eventually, and UBI would exert even more inflationary pressure than pandemic-era stimulus/welfare.

When inflation does catch up to the UBI, do you just keep raising the UBI forever and ever? How does that not turn into hyperinflation?

This is a good question, and I suspect the answer is some of both, but the lawsuit is very specifically claiming that ChatGPT is “memorizing” and reproducing NYT articles verbatim, and this is clearly in violation of the law. I suspect they’re also trying to push on the issue of it being illegal to train AI on the NYT archive, but that’s a bigger and more difficult question. The issue of verbatim reproduction makes a clear legal case, which is why they’re relying on that first, and letting that lead to the broader discussion. Exhibit J in the suit is titled: “One hundred examples of GPT-4 memorizing content from the New York Times”.
You're just repeating what I said with different words. Yes, throughout history, people who bucked the rules and practices of society might have been called "out group members", but that's just a label. The substance is that they're eschewing society, and obviously should expect society to react and shun them. Confront them, maybe. Some societies used banishment.

Either way, the label is being self-applied here to indulge a victim complex in someone who doesn't like that society is reacting to their decision to go against society. Consider that total jerks and crazy folks use exactly the same logic.

Not that anyone here is a jerk, or crazy, just that the "I'm an independent thinker and everyone else is drinking the kool aid" argument is tired and oblivious and self-indulgent and applies equally when used by jerks and nuts. The dude on the street corner shouting racial slurs at the top of their lungs and swatting at invisible spiders thinks he's "just part of the out group", too.

I think AI will shift the value from those who know how to program toward those who know which programs are most useful to write. In other words, we’ll all become product engineers.
As they should. But... you are the driver of your career, not your manager. It's a HUGE risk to rely on your manager only to do it.

Thanks, I might use this site. I want some motorized bottom-up shades, but they are crazily expensive. Motorized kits are available for DIY motorized blinds, but they aren't bottom-up.

> nothing will change until the system that produced this changes

Students chanting “from the river to the sea” while cheering on a terrorist attack may be the shark jump that prompts a systemic change. (Note: there is a huge difference between advocating for Palestinians and supporting Hamas. There is a huger one between supporting Hamas and supporting the October 7th attacks.)
The problem is that they did handle it internally, by doing nothing and ignoring everyone.

I follow Ackman and he's been absolutely laser focused on getting her out. To an unhealthy degree, even. I guess he can sleep, finally. Anyways, he revealed a lot during this, and gave 'insider' info that basically Harvard didn't do anything because they didn't want to seem told to do so. That's basically the attitude my 12 year old has.
I use Poetry because it makes my life easy and works just like Ruby's bundler and npm in Nodejs.

Some people hate it because they forced people to upgrade a while ago. It's childish to dismiss such an amazing tool because of one bad decision on the maintainers part.
> Gay will now “return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do,” she wrote.

Interesting, did she ever teach there before serving as president? I thought she had not taught/published much in recent years, and had instead served exclusively in administrative roles. I wonder what it would be like to step down from a very brief presidency and to teach classes as a regular professor. I would think that would be an extremely awkward position to be in.
