A Python convert here too.

Currently I've been using different AI tools (Bard, GPT-4) to just straight-up convert my old python utilities to Go.

There are a few that worked right out of the box, for a few I've had to adjust stuff mostly because of the AI model's information about APIs being a bit out of date.

But the fact that I can just scp a program to a server and it Just Works is amazing compared to the "what's the current venv system du jour" dance I had to do with Python every time.
Ask HN: Any platforms for hosting/monetizing Stable Diffusion workflows?
Hi HN! Curious if there are any platforms that allow users to upload their Stable Diffusion workflows so that others can easily generate images from them while on the platform's hardware?

There are some helpful communities for sharing ComfyUI workflow JSONs for example, but it’d be nice to be able to pay a small fee to run it hosted elsewhere with one click (plus whatever other inputs), instead of copying it into RunDiffusion, RunPod, or my local ComfyUI and dealing with the slowness and missing custom nodes/models. I know it comes with the cost of customization, but think it could also help bridge the gap for folks less deep in the weeds (e.g. many midjourney users) to try out custom SD workflows. Even though MJ is great, the total sum of community-driven SD custom checkpoints, LoRAs, VAEs, etc is surely more powerful than MJ alone!

Also curious about this from the creator side since it’d be sweet to monetize workflows if there's enough consumer demand once the compute is paid for

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size). Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex and playing with a lot of micropython/ESP32/IoT stuff.

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API and system design, integrating with crappy systems, user research, and really weird bugs. Make a decent PM in a pinch, but would prefer you have great PMs.

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.

Not at all. I'm saying that by not being ad supported, they don't need 10 million users to be profitable. There's no profitable ad network with 1000 users, because no one cares about showing ads to 1000 users. However if you charge those 1000 users $100 a month, that's often a very nice business!

Ad supported businesses need to scale to millions of users in order to be able to sell ads. The selling of the ads isn't necessarily a resource intensive process, but you need so many users to even have a market.
I suppose I should be lamenting the state of the web as a whole but it really does not feel nice to visit a website of a very cool product and see things like https://shop.invisible-computers.com/pages/ccpa-opt-out.

I use ChatGPT as well as mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui with GPT-4, and I rack up $300+ charges every month using my own version of ChatGPT, so it's way more expensive (I do roughly the same number of conversations in each). The only reason why I use it is because I can pump in more context than what ChatGPT allows. But if you're using a cheaper model / lower usage then maybe it'd be less expensive.

I’ve read comments from people before about how go’s lack of generics has caused significant amounts of extra code to be written in the K8s codebase. I do wonder if we could snap our fingers and magically have a K8s written in Rust, a lisp, Zig tomorrow, what that would look like, what it would be like to maintain and build and what the codebases would be like in comparison. Would make an interesting intellectual exercise.

If your games are transparent and verifiably fair, you don't need to "make sure" that half your customers lose. You just post the payout odds, and have a fat enough wallet to cover the volatility. There is no "work" involved in deciding who wins or loses.

That said: If you're making a book (for sportsbetting) then yes, you are trying to balance the difference rather than predict a winner. That's a totally different thing from running a casino.
Isn't the entire point of many types of meditation to not think? There's value in that, at least for some people.
Finding correlation in data is how we find out about the real world though. There are extra steps needed there but let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Otherwise we should just jack in science which AFAIK has been a spectacularly successful project. And it’s actually this study of collected data that will defeat cargo cults when their hypothesis doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. It’s only reliance on presumed experts and anecdotal evidence that shores them up. From the original cargo cults to conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones to software orthodoxy like TDD, SOLID and Scrum.

Likewise anecdotal success of an individual is also just correlation but with only a single data point.

I’d also agree that expert opinions are great but they’re also not infallible or necessarily generalisable. Nor is it necessarily easy to tell who is an expert and who is a charlatan. Which is why we should use them as the basis for investigating the larger picture.

Similarly both expert opinion and singular anecdotes can lead to cargo culting.
Agreed this is an underexplored topic, which is funny because a few years ago prior to LLMs, if you asked someone how they'd apply ML to a database, you'd get an answer more like this than about any vector indexing or LLM shenanigans.
Or regulation like the one from the thread, requiring systems to be open sourced in certain cases. It would definitely help
Their website and marketing materials have a bit of a "Simpsons already did it" charm to them. Not to mention you will need specially designed pants to hold this roofing shingle-sized monstrosity. Maybe they can bring wearing overalls to the office into style.
I don’t disagree with all that but it seems tangential to the point being made, that people just aren’t using Dart except for Flutter apps. So compared to Go it’s very much a niche language (although maybe it’s a really big niche, I don’t know).

I think it was the minimization of meditation, not the part about Twitter. There's a subtext that meditation is too trivial for anything bad to happen.

Or at least, that is one reading.
> the real Australian shepherd

Technically breed through and through to be cattle dogs.

Big difference being shepherd dogs focus outwards and protect, sheep dogs work and move herds on command using eyballs and stalking body language, whereas cattle dogs are "heelers" they get in close and literally bite the heels of massive stubborn cattle that won't budge until nipped.

Heelers are great dogs IF you can live with their needs - they seriously live for three to four hours of hard exercise a day, flat out running, herding, chasing, interacting. If you can't do that then don't get a heeler, they're smart and you'll pay for it.

If you don't have a herd of cattle at least live 10 km from a beach and make them run after you while you bike, motorcycle, or drive slowly there.

Getting a throwing stick that'll travel the lebgth of a football field and|or a tennis ball launcher is a good way to keep them moving, they'll fetch at extreme range for good few hours.

I'm going to be honest here: Bluey means a lot to me, as a 32-year-old childless woman, because this show has really touched me in ways that may not be obvious at first:

I've felt more in touch with my own imagination since I started watching Bluey. I've actually been writing music and sketching in my spare time again, which is something I haven't done since before the pandemic.

It's actually helped me piece together things that I felt as a child that I never properly dealt with, or even knew how to voice back then. I've been able to find healing and peace, and articulate stuff in therapy a bit better.

In general, I just feel a bit happier and a bit better after watching an episode of Bluey. Sometimes I just want to watch something to feel positive emotions without it being overly-happy fluff. There's a realism to Bluey that makes it easier for me to "let my guard down" and feel happiness.

I do kind of live vicariously through Chilli, with my hope being that I can be a mum some day.

There is no financial or any other penalty for keeping the lie there, so it won't disappear.

For years Omega used to write "the first and only watch on the Moon" on their Speedmaster watches, even though people kept pointing out over and over and over again that it's just simply not true - other watches were also used on the moon, including a Bulova Accutron when the nasa-issued speedmaster popped its crystal while on the lunar surface. So it was an obvious and easily provable lie, but for years it adorned a multi-thousand dollar watch. Omega did eventually change it with the new revision of the watch, but there is no reason to believe that it was because people were complaining about it.

Ask HN: What is the best FOSS file sharing protocol/app?
Hello fellow hackers , i have been lurking here for quite some time but now i have a question that i wish i can ask you guys

i was wondering whats the best file sharing protocol/app/website , tbh send.vis.ee seems to be currently the best to me but still i wanted your opinion here are things i found

1. Localsend
2. ffsend
3. croc
4. webtorrent
5. magic-wormhole
6. using curl on 0x0.st or pixeldrain
7. (anonfiles has left so thats sad)
8. rsync / ssh
9. onionshare
10. ipfs

from what i am hearing , magic-wormhole makes the most sense since they seem to be the most open standard of sharing files but still seems incomplete or the lack of information on such topic makes me feels wierd.

croc seems to have a lot of cve and magic wormhole passed that test from suse's audit.
webtorrent seems to fit in a wierd niche and its implementations like file.pizza arent really that well built ( considering you cant send multi files over there)
Kubernetes is a complex behemoth, and would be even if it was written in another language.
At the youngest adult ages that contribute most to premium reductions productivity is largely a function of investment of the parent, so it may be even more dire than you phrase it. Its effectively a transfer of wealth of investment from parents who have just spent 18 years producing a taxpayer to unhealthy non-parents who comparatively took little of the risk and cost but equally gobble up gains to the risk pool. Another words, it is a regressive tax that rewards goading others into taking on parental responsibilities while taking on none yourself.

I'm a full-stack principal engineer with 7+ years of experience in product companies. I love contributing to the development and release culture of teams, teaching, and empowering teammates with better tooling. I thrive in environments with high uncertainty and autonomy and love finding optimal ways to deliver value.

I have led projects from planning to rollout, architected data-heavy UIs and web apps, and spent crazy hours accelerating page loading and automating regression tests. I specialise in React ecosystem on the front end and Python & Node.js on the back end.

A few highlights:

- Cut a two-person-day manual regression test run down to just 5 minutes of automated end-to-end testing, including comms and payments

- Built a platform fulfilling millions of boiler service and repair jobs in the UK, distributing them across 1K engineers based on their drive time and availability on the date, and receiving several thousand bookings a month

- Accelerated page loading of a few frontends by 5-6 times in the pre-Next.js era by fine-tuning Webpack configuration and writing plugins

Drop me a message - I'd be happy to chat about your product and team and see how I can help.

ah fuckit. SO yeah, I lived outside the US and ran a bitcoin casino for some years for non-US players, which was blocked to US IP ranges and required IDs to eliminate US customers (even though Bitcoin gambling still wasn't officially illegal at the time). My general idea was to make a casino for smart people who liked puzzles, so to that end I built games that would let people have an even-money chance if they played the game perfectly.

The coolest thing that came out of this was one of my players went on to build an escape room in the Netherlands that used one of my games as a puzzle to solve to get out of the room. Here's some stuff from that casino (it was active from about 2010 to 2013).

That is in fact what I meant to say, and I thought I said it. Anyway, HTTP/1.1 is still in use a lot of places.

I think most people here don’t have any experience building for the kind of use cases I’m considering here (imagine a proxy like Envoy, which btw does give you at least the option to configure header casing transformations). When you have customers that can’t be forced to behave in a certain way up/down stream, you have to deal with this kind of stuff.
What is the difference between the browsers and "the browsers in and of themselves"? That seems like a very overly specific qualifier.
That term isn’t meant to include mobile apps, desktop apps, web apps (even though those all use the internet, of course). Nobody is using Go for any of those, as far as I know.

So I think it is a useful term, and captures the things Go is good at surprisingly well.
Using fractions sounds great, I think fractions have a human quality and are a more natural way to approach numbers. In writing, I think putting down 0.5 is slightly jarring compared to the better ½, at least in non-technical contexts.
I've read that this is exactly what happened. The tax bill had to be revenue neutral, there were too many cuts, so they did this to get back to neutral.

This post motivated me to do the same thing on my imessage data. I used GPT-3.5 for fine-tuning (and haha GPT-4 to help me build it :D). I guess, I should run fine-tuning jobs to create instances of my correspondence partners? Since, for the first system prompt I tell the model to pretend to be me, but on other fine-tuning attempts I can reverse the input and output, and then tell the model to "pretend" to be my counterparty?

I'm still running my first fine-tuning job but I'd definitely love any technical tips people want to drop!!

In AMD64 ABI, anything larger (that doesn't fit in register) will be returned by basically output pointer argument. Caller reserves space for the return value and gives pointer to the function which then fills it with the return value. Both sides are easy to optimize and no unnecessary copies are made. Function can directly construct return value to the given address and caller can directly give a pointer to a variable if function return value is used to initialise variable.
Probably not a lot faster? And apart from what you're doing with this data, isn't this also going to depend a lot on the CPU? I can see that with 16 bytes, a lot of accesses could be 2x aligned 8 bytes (or 1x16) instead of 3x4 bytes. Some other accesses, maybe not so much. And there is also the issue of increased cache pressure.

A bit like TV advertising then? I honestly don't know nor care if TV advertising works but we just turn the sound off when the ad-slot starts and just ignore it. We've noticed that ads are getting more garish in a desperate attempt to sell the latest must-have (apparently) ephemeral junk but we just ignore those too.
Adding to that, even if we had perfect end-effectors with a good sense of touch, understanding the real world enough to manipulate it is hard.

These days we have 3d cameras, but they still only see part of the objects we want to manipulate. The back side is hidden. So you need to either specify and model all objects to interact with, or have some word of a world model where we can predict what the full object, it's weight, center of gravity, surface texture, etc, is like.

And before we even decide to manipulate it, we have to detect it, categorize it and segment it (where does the pan stop and the stove begin?). We have to plan out a manipulation task, including finding grasp points, finding movement patterns that do not interfere with the rest of the environment, etc.

It's a whole bunch of separate problems that need solving all at once. There's motor control, building the right manipulators with the right sensors, bringing all the sensor data into something where we can make a single decision, understanding of the world and what happens during manipulation, and higher level planning.
