How do you tell the program what belongs where? How does the OS know that the application is reading a file full of configuration entries that should be in the registry? What is the difference between reading a file full of data and reading a file containing your own configuration?

How does the OS know that the file you're writing to belongs in AppData or not?

To create the system calls for this you would break everything about windows file permissions. Currently, you interact as a user account. In order to accomplish the real time heuristics you're proposing you would also need an application user account in addition to the users user account.

At what point does the responsibility for knowing how to code fall on the programmer? How much capability are you willing to take away from effective programmers, to artificially protect the ineffective ones from themselves?

Finkelsteins crime was indeed opposing zionism. He just did it in a spectacular way which exposed a famous pro-israel as a hack, that is the only additional charge. I included it there because it is such a famous case and was easy for me to remember.

The other two are the result of a quick web search of the term “fired for opposing zionism”. I remembered the news about Sander’s case after being reminded. But the other one was me discovering it for the first time.

Here is another case from my search results that I just discovered now: https://mondoweiss.net/2023/09/i-was-harassed-by-zionists-an...

And another, this time not an explicitly Jewish institution https://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Antisemitism/Fieldston-School...

Also notice that it should be harder to find clean examples, as institution are likely to hide their reasoning (fearing legal actions like Jessie Sander’s case). Like with Claudine Gay they trump up different charges. I don’t think it is a coincidence that all of the victims in my examples are Jewish. Zionism hurts Jews as well as it hurts Muslims. For some reason Zionists don’t feel like they have to hide their intention when they unfairly treat anti-zionist Jews.

I agree with you, with one proviso. I hope there is a proliferation of camp grounds and sites with rules forbidding things like projectors and speakers over a certain volume level.

The number of projectors I have seen in use at campgrounds in the last couple of years is just profoundly irritating.

There have been scientific breakthroughs throughout human history and none of them "liberated" humanity in regards to sickness, poverty, energy, travel, entertainment. Why should this one now be different? There will always be sickness and poverty in a capitalist system that is built on the exploitation of others to sustain itself. During capitalism, medical ånd technological advances such breakthroughs might bring will always disproportionately benefit the rich. Sickness, poverty at least could already be "solved problems", as some people I think say, if not for class injustice in a system that depends on inequality to function.

I spent a bit of time playing with h2ogpt, which is a popular RAG framework. I gave it all our architectural documentation for our software and then tried asking it questions that transcended basic search (so the answer is not directly in there, but you could formulate it if you put disparate parts together). It started hallucinating pretty fast and told me all kinds of BS about how our software works.

I think RAG can be used in a way that eliminates or drastically reduces hallucinations, but to do that you have to do quite a lot of work to constrain the context and structure the prompting to address very specific questions. When you apply these more general frameworks they pump in large amounts of context in an unstructured manner and you just end right back at hallucinations again because the context isn't constrained enough.

So RAG is useful to me but not a silver bullet. It doesn't solve the original problem of wanting all the features of an LLM but without the hallucinations. It gives you some targeted way to use the LLM that doesn't hallucinate but misses a lot of the functionality people want.

While I am a fan of Julia and its GPU module, using such an easy environment will really limit what you are able to learn. NVIDIA provides some great optimization tools (NSight Systems and NSight Compute) which help you optimize your kernel execution (fuse kernels, hide latency, use execution graphs) and CUDA code (take advantage of memory layout, use warp intrinsics, maximize throughput). These tools map to C++/CUDA source code and let you rapidly address bottlenecks - most of which may be on the host side.

How deep are you in the ESP32 dev? I've found image rendering (the display is LCD, not eInk) to be less straightforward than anticipated.

In my case, massaging images into a specific size and format prior to sending them into the ESP32/Display is easier and more reliable than trying to have the ESP libraries display any arbitrary image.
Bandwidth is very hit and miss on these. I've tried such a service very recently and in the evening in the middle of Barcelona it was unusable with very sporadic bits of high-latency (+100ms ping) connectivity. Frankly I should chargeback the payment out of principle to discourage selling broken products/services.
As the family genealogist, I completely agree. 23andMe had such minimal utility in comparison to the first service where I tested. At most, it corroborated and confirmed what I already knew and had been told. Also I identified the strongest possible genetic match, a person who hadn't tested elsewhere.

But 23andMe's cutesy haplogroup classifications, their faux historical narratives, the ridiculous litany of "health conditions" they warn me about, it's bunk, 100% bunk. Plus, no medical professional will accept this data as diagnostic, so why bother?

> No? They park them outside the city centre.

If you live in an apartment complex inside the city centre, parking outside of it won't help you. If you live in an apartment complex outside of it and there's not enough parking spots to leave your car while you sleep you still have the same problem.

> Or they rent them.

Most people can't afford to uber everywhere. Should the poors not be allowed to go to work or the doctors office?

Austin is only one example, but any city without enough parking to meet demand has these same well-documented problems. Please tell me which cities in America have ditched off-street parking while doing nothing else to reduce people's dependence on cars and had no problems as a result.
Ask HN: Good tool for inspecting JSON files?
I do a lot of work on web applications that return results to the client in JSON. When I am trying to debug problems I usually cut-and-paste the JSON document out of the browser's debugger into a WebStorm scratch, use the "format code" menu item to pretty print it and look at it visually.

In some cases this turns the problem up right away, the search function is useful. Sometimes it is trickier and I might run a tool like jq against the file or load the JSON into a Python REPL and process the file there.

Common situations for me are: (1) I have two responses, one that works with the client, one that doesn't and I want to find the significant difference and (2) graph-like structures, for instance a map of objects keyed by id where objects refer to other objects with ids.

What I'd really like is a GUI tool that feels like looking at the JSON file in the IDE but is smarter about browsing and would let me do some of the things I might do with jq or python. Is there anything like that out there?
I like Pydantic, but it is true it broke too many things.

It is not the same, but typeguard has runtime typechecks with the @typechecked function annotation. Mypy checks help as well.

From a comment I left on Mastodon:

He gave a talk at the CHM (He was inducted as a fellow in 2004) I got to talk with him and was really struck by someone who had had such a huge impact was so approachable. When another person in the group challenged Modula-2 he listened respectfully and engaged based on the the idea that the speakers premise was true, then nicely dissented based on objective observations. I hope I can always be that respectful when challenged.
Go is a decent industrial programming language alternative to Java, only things I'm not super enthused about is the logging experience (for the love of Christ, please create a standardised logging facade along the lines of slf4j, and allow the person running the application to set logging levels for individual loggers and choose whether stack-traces are emitted or not! Bonus points if I can change logging conf for a running app without restarting it) and libs that use C bindings, I have enough problems with that in Python already.

E.g., my manager is really interested in Dapr as a way to make basic Kafka usage easier for teams across our org.

Dapr's written in Go, and have made the reasonable decision to not use any libs that have C bindings for the same reason I don't like them.

However, this means that they can't use the Confluent Go Kafka client, as it's just a wrapper around librdkafka.

So they use Sarama, as it's written in pure Go, and is widely used, but is one of the most problematic Kafka clients I've had the misfortune to support. Although now that IBM has taken ownership of the project from Shopify, some of the more egregious bugs and oddities are finally being fixed.

But yeah, while you _can_ bind to C libs in Java, I've never encountered a library that did, so cross-platform lib compatibility wasn't something I ever had to worry about when working with Java.

I'm sorry. I could never be that committed to the ideology of EVs to do something that preposterous even once. The second I realized that was what would be needed, either the trailer idea would have to go, or the Tesla's being traded in for like, a Ford Ranger.
if the implied contrast is with cooperative multitasking, it's exactly the opposite: they're there to expose the event loop in a way you can't ignore. if the implied contrast is with setTimeout(() => { ... }, 0) then yes, pretty much, although the difference is fairly small—implicit variable capture by the closure does most of the same hiding that await does

The earth's magnetic field definitely affects Cathode Ray Tubes and many other things.

Ask HN: Wireless headphones with studio-level microphone quality for video calls
Does a reliable, cross platform solution exist to going wireless during audio/video calls while maintaining (near) studio level audio quality?

Bluetooth DACs with pretty good audio quality and acceptable latency exist, but something including a proper microphone is a bigger challenge.

Two way Bluetooth is out of the question due to low quality codecs and questionable stability across different systems, solutions with USB receivers or optionally something that would normally be used in a studio/stage environment would be probably the way to go.

But even the best rated headphones (Steelseries, Bose, Jabra) with boom microphones offer microphone audio quality from mediocre to okay. (you can find recordings on rtings.com) They just sound thin and boxy, when compared to a condenser microphone the difference is massive. I can accept some tradeoffs (not asking to bend physics), but those differences make the voice simply unpleasant to listen to.

Any tips from the community? Maybe some hacks and something I could use not exactly meant for that purpose?

The best I can think of for now is a high quality Bluetooth DAC (Fiio, Qudelix) for the output and some sort of a wearable / lavalier microphone transmitter meant for video recording (that can be treated as an USB audio interface), but ideally I'd like to have that combined into a single tx/rx unit.

Thankfully our shared thought that you can't be away from everything is not true: caves, anything underwater or dense forests around the world are totally inaccessible for any satellite devices.

Also, not sure if you've used any satellite devices but even in most conditions you're still pretty away from things. You have to set up the device with a view of the open sky and wait several minutes for a text-only message of a handful of bytes. Using it in a Costa Rican rainforest was almost impossible.

For better or for worse, there are pretty large parts of the Earth where we will have no Internet for most likely our entire lifetimes.

Belief in "the science" akin to religious faith, is counter to the scientific method.

Good science happens when the best scientist is wrong.
See this comment, especially the last paragraph:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38859965

"Believing", "trusting", "following" science means using information from an entity that presumably follows the scientific method to ascertain their information, and is otherwise fallible and subject to change pending new data.

This is in contrast to "believing" information from an entity that did not procure information via the scientific method, and is usually infallible and not subject to change pending new data.
