Yes! Playing through the rote action exchange can be rather exhausting, especially if I've already bridged that connection and know the person -- there's not much reason for it, and it can be exhausting!

Unfortunately, with where my past is, a whole lot of my family too has the idea that I'm living a distorted life, and that this needs to be corrected (almost as a first priority thing). There's almost an Animal-Farm-istic "All sins are equal, but some sins are more equal than others" kind of thing going on there, if you catch what I mean.

Intellectually, I think many of them can understand how this is not really the most rational thing given the on-paper beliefs, but emotionally, it's a very different story, and the emotions seem to win out on that front.

Answering the basics isn't too terrible for me, though it definitely can be a problem if it's the only focus (and if the conversation inevitably keeps looping around to that singular topic. I am a freaking human being, darnmnitall!!)
Have you considered purchasing a newer car that you can modify?

I would assume that it would be trivial to just remove the antenna for the mobile data and once that's gone then 1, 2 and 3.

As for the touchscreens you always have buttons on the steering wheel so you will have to be content with that.

I've used the pushd stuff for 30 years, but this system I just came up with is way more ergonomic.

The dirs command is a poorly considered interface to what should just be a handful of simple variables.

The whole feature is basically mistake, copied from tcsh in order to help tcsh users switch to Bash or something.

pushd with no arguments swaps between the most recent two. That's an important use case and I nailed that requirement with the "cs" alias.

I just added a function to cdlog_pop aliased to pd, which changes to $c1 and removes it, rotating the entries in the other direction. I extended the history to 9 items (with c5 to c9 being hidden entries not shown by cdlog).

if [ -z "$c1" ] ; then
c9=
c8=
c7=
c6=
c5=
c4=
c3=
c2=
fi

cdlog_chdir()
{
local cur=$PWD

if command cd "$@" && [ "$PWD" != "$cur" ]; then
# only if we successfully change to a different
# directory do the following

if [ "$cur" == "$c2" ] && [ "$PWD" == "$c1" ] ; then
# Special case: if we changed to the directory that is second
# in the cdlog, then just swap between those two.
c2=$PWD
c1=$cur
else
# Otherwise rotate through all
c9=$c8
c8=$c7
c7=$c6
c6=$c5
c5=$c4
c4=$c3
c3=$c2
c2=$c1
c1=$cur
fi
fi
}

cdlog_pop()
{
if [ -n "$c1" ] && command cd "$c1"; then
c1=$c2
c2=$c3
c3=$c4
c4=$c5
c5=$c6
c6=$c7
c7=$c8
c8=$c9
c9=
fi
}

cdlog()
{
# c5 through c9 are hidden
printf "c1: %s\n" "$c1"
printf "c2: %s\n" "$c2"
printf "c3: %s\n" "$c3"
printf "c4: %s\n" "$c4"
}

alias cs='cdlog_chdir "$c1"'

Just listened to the demo voices for EmotiVoice and WhisperSpeech. I think WhisperSpeech edges out EmotiVoice. EmotiVoice sounds like it was trained on English spoken by non-native speakers.
Japan's biggest online brokerage SBI punished for market rigging
Coming up on the 6th anniversary of his death; my wife and I are separated and going through a divorce. I’d like to say it is all my fault because I am still emotionally unavailable but it takes two.

As for advice I think as we all relationships, communication is key. I dropped the ball here because honestly the first year I only got out of bed to go to the liquor store.

Year two, I drained my retirement to live while staying 24/7 obliterated and not dealing with what can only be called a complete loss of one’s identity and self.

I don’t think it is healthy for us to stay together because she took the loss much easier than I at least from all outward appearance.

Years 3-5 was a very introspective and healing time where I went through periods of depression and hopelessness.

I’m now in the rediscovering who I am phase because I kind of lost that along the way.

So in conclusion, a combination of LSD and therapy(CBT) allowed me to start moving forward with life and slowly getting out of a never ending cycle of grief.

That probably doesn’t answer your question but I think every one who has to go through this kind of event is going to handle it differently.
Wonder why they did not compare it with it.

This got me into Linux. First I was installing DJGPP on Windows, then I followed the trail back to GCC, then I found out all about all the great free stuff the GNU toolchain provided, and ended up installing Slackware from a stack of floppies that I had downloaded painstakingly over a 14.4kbps modem.
Okay, so you are paying for the publishing. It's still not the same thing as selling wholesale to a retailer which is where the confusion seems to be. I realize I'm on a forum catering to the devs that really want all of the pennies and feel like selling their apps at a whole price is unheard of.

I find that catchy and descriptive on more than one level.
> efficacy outright called into doubt in the Red Sea

Not really. It's a resolve issue. America is technically capable of deteroriorating the Houthis' ability to fire into the Red Sea. (Last week's strikes took out something like a quarter of their current capability.)

The problem is that would invite a broader conflagration with Iran, which the American electorate is not ready to stomach.
From my read of the court documents, there were/are software flaws but there seem also to be issues that the developers really didn't have a solid explanation for. Some of the remediations applied suggest that they suspected the issues related to local hardware configurations; changing touchscreen types from capacitive to resistive, changing cable from unshielded to shielded, stuff like that.

That's also borne out by the fact that many locations (there are after all many many many post offices in the UK) operated without glitches but some locations suffered massive and repeating glitches.

In addition, the UK post office used also be the phone company and in addition managed television transmitters and a national network of coax cables to connect TV/radio transmitters together. I'm guessing but I would suspect that there might be some overlap between (some) post office locations and unusually high levels of ambient electrical interference; such as post office locations being colocated with or nearby to small telco exchanges and tv/radio transmitter sites (which also used to be operated by the post office.)
Good to hear it's helpful!
In my experience Samsung's flagship phones are top notch hardware with superb build quality. According to user reports on the internet the latest Google Pixel can't even manage to connect to the cellular networks reliably and without overheating. I wish Samsung would step their security game up to GrapheneOS standards because I just can't trust Google not to fuck the phones up.
I wouldn't say it's that they prefer it, as they have no concept of iOS or Android, nor Windows, MAC or Linux, they just care about if it's similar enough to what they've already painstakingly learned to use and deal with the quirks of.

What I'm referring to as a walled garden issue is that they've learned to use the "included" features like iCloud etc, those are walled in (ie using it on Android isn't as smooth). Thus when you switch away, you're expecting them to learn the new UI and to get used to different services (eg google drive) and their associated menus.

I suppose it's better described as vendor lock-in, similar to how before you could easily transfer your phone number between carriers, the number itself acted as a form of lock-in, if you used the number on anything important you were stuck with the number until you could get the number updated.

The key insight is this whole thread is that this Alpha Geometry only works because the search field is not a googol combinations. So, it doesn't really generalize to many other fields of math. We shouldn't expect an AlphaCategoryTheory or AlphaNumberTheory anytime soon.
Before working on a game certain skills need to be there. I would first start with a small project that helps building those skills.

Modelling: Blender is a good start. There are tons of tutorials on the subject. With blender you can creat backdrops, models and animations for games

Game Engine: I would nowadays start with Godot, there are equally many tutorials

Programming: I recommend doing something using processing.org, this is a simple IDE with a powerful library that can be programmed using Python/Javascript/Java. This is one of the easiest ways to draw something in a window using code.

Edit: I think the most important thing is that you go through this together with him. The way is much more important than the goal. If you do this right, you will most important) spend time with your kid, and teach them how to tackle a thing that even daddy isn't sure about doing. Discover things together with your son, let him try things even if you already know better. The right motivation is much more important here than getting to something good.

And it is hard to say remotely which part about games motivates your kid. Maybe it is the visuals, maybe it is the programming (this is more rare), maybe it is the result. If it is the latter a specialized 2D-engine would be a good start.
Fuzziness does not seem to be on point for me though, any tips?
If I want to `cd` into a directory called `something-with-dashes`, if I do `zi` and then start with `smtw` (omitting the `-`), it doesn't find it. Only when I add `-` it shows up.
> Those are kinda important parts. Like, to the point that if they'd homegrown "GVideos" I bet it would have failed.

The YouTube product which is their creator economy that exists today didn't back then. In fact, I'm pretty sure original team would've run out of money soon.

> Which was a WebKit wrapper - explicitly just the browser chrome.

And Docker is "a wrapper" around Linux Cgroups. So? It was a unique product with instant market fit - "fast browser without the UI clutter and with sandbox'ed tabs".
I can highly recommend to use Git, the Obsidian Git plugin on Desktop and Termux on Android for syncing. Works great!

In September 2022, the Samsung S10 went over 150 days without a security patch being available. That caused my work to kick my phone off it's network. Samsung promised quarterly updates before that. So I have been burned by their broken promises. Hopefully they keep them this time.
Very nice approach...
It's yellow paint being squeezed out of a tube.

The handle is the paint. The axe-head is the tube.

The number of people in the comments still speculating and believing in the aye theory is funny.

It's literally in the following answer on the StackExchange thread.

Or maybe I'm the one who feels the "swoosh" of the joke going over my head, and everyone pretends to see an axe for lulz.
The WD-40 is already gone.
If they're super motivated by the 3dness, Id suggest try Spore with the Galactic Adventures. Spore is a great 3d editing program for someone to get introduced to and Galactic Adventures let's you put all the stuff you create together in a world, with basic scripting and ai, all in a very player friendly way. (Disclaimer, I worked on these)
It reads to me that locking yourself / AI up in a room with only yourself to converse with causes it to go MAD / out of touch with reality.

If you interact with people / fresh data regularly you'll avoid that.

I'm not sure how much is down to evolving requirements and data formats vs degradation of the training data.
The idea sounds common-sense but it's also triggering a bullshit warning for me, because I'd expect more consistency per AI model, and differences to occur on new model interations - regardless of the dataset.
Please tell us how you’re so certain companies that have productivity affecting their $1T net worth are more concerned with their $5b real estate.

I now have more time that I can spend with daughter, so I guess I may improved my parenting skill?

IMO it's also totally fine to use that freed up time to just get a break from... anything. No need to be after self-improvement all the time.
> Success in academia comes to those who pick the right people to work with, pick the right things to work on at the right time and say the right things at the right times to the right people, all to push yourself ahead of others guised under veils and veneers of goodness. Truth, morality and the quest for knowledge be damned.

Do you have a proposal to repair this? It seems any organizational effort is going to end up in a similar situation, because the people who desire to be at the top are the people willing to do the things required to get there, and that leaves little room for people who just want to pursue 'truth, morality and the quest for knowledge'.

It seems to me that the only solution to resolving this problem is to either (a) rely on a benevolent, genius, moral autocrat; (b) completely purge the leadership regularly; or (c) delegate authority to some future un-corruptible intelligence.
Tried a couple of times. It isn’t there yet.
Not sure you can compare humans and AI this way. It is quite possible that humans have coping mechanisms that AI does not (yet?) have.

Or to put it in your analogy, If I feed my cat milk, they'll throw up. That doesn't mean milk is unfit for human consumption.
>they did exactly that.

Yes, much much later (many edits later). Also I meant the original poster.
Date lake can be thought of a file system. Imagine 100 CSVs in folders, usually stored on S3.

Data Lakehouse involves adding things like the ability to query via SQL, the ability to update/insert/delete, transactions.

Where before people needed warehouses for BI and lakes for data science, they can now have only one approach.

It’s likely to be a big trend as data moves to this format and arrangement and the DBMS vendors like Snowflake have to play nicely with it.
23% did, just to be clear.
I don't understand something, why do they claim they go from O(N*N) to O(N), but all they claim they are doing is removing one exponentiation operation, which is O(1)? Where is the O(N) they are removing?
Nice of you for not monetizing this template. There are so many boilerplates out there so it doesn't really feel necessary to pay rn. Maybe a boilerplate with a twist would be different or support or something.

However. Supabase only support like one project on their free tier. Otherwise I like it. Do you pay for Supabase to host multiple projects or how do you do it?
Something new will have to be made. You wont get credit for that effort, no riches, not even a thank you. Fooling around with the puzzle is the only reward and it should be good enough even if it amounts to nothing.

What is even the real question? How should we do politics?
Most browser "fingerprinting" methods have a pretty short half-life. The last assessment I read said something like half of the fingerprints were lost within 24 hours.

There are some companies that advertise device fingerprinting for moderation/anti-abuse services, but I have yet to see it in any martech stack. I assume they give lots of false positives and don't distinguish between different users/devices on the same network.
It's more like feeding humans to humans or cows to cows. They go mad too. Feeding cows to humans instead typically works, of course there are ALWAYS exceptions and it's never perfect or without harms. Both with AI and cows.
Lars, thank you for sharing. And you must know that you'll be fully reunited with your son again one day. I am humbled by your family's grace and strength.
Not quite, you're going to be paying rent for example regardless, you may have to invest in some office furniture which is usually subsidized but if not then consider the savings you would make through the year overall, perhaps transportation costs, lunches etc. Things add up fiscally. Ignoring the lifestyle benefits.
You could pump water to the highest lock lower than the lake though.

But salt water doesn't mix well with things not intended for salt water.

I lost my 3 1/2 year old daughter to sudden illness about 10 months ago. Be gentle to yourself and your family. There will be times where you aren’t actively feeling the grief, but they pull you into theirs or vice versa. There will be times where your love and grief for your lost child will make it easy to forget to cherish the loved ones in front of you.

As you figure out how to live life from here– may you find a path forward that is healthy, loving, and beneficial for you and those you care about.
They're a huge thing in Philly, I saw people go so far as to place the stickers over letters on their license plates. They looked quite worn so it didn't appear they were getting in trouble for it.
You can grep for bad words. What you can't do(unless hoops are jumped through) is to verify that weights came from the same dataset. You can set the same random seed and still get different results. Calculations are not that deterministic. (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/randomness.html#reprod...).

>I am overall skeptical that this is true in the case of LLMs

This skepticism seems reasonable. EleutherAI have documentation to reproduce training (https://github.com/EleutherAI/pythia#reproducing-training). So far I haven't seen it leading to anything.
Lots of arxiv papers I've seen complain about time and budget constraint even regarding finetunes, forget pretraining.
I tried to use it but never got the verification code in my email (including spam).

Looks cool, I love to follow the indie hacker scene on Twitter: how does it compare to https://www.headshotpro.com/ or https://photoai.com/

You might find a lot of inspiration from levelsio on Twitter and danypostmaa since they are in the same space and share a lot about their marketing
that's 120 JavaScript years ago!
I'd really advise against going down the 3D path first. Not just because the math gets harder, but there's all the additional overhead of assets. A 3D game will require an environment, 3d models, etc. Maybe you can scrounge those, but unless he's really interested in the art aspect it's going to make it a lot harder.

Just to get things going, try out a 2D game engine. Love2D is great if you're okay with Lua. Browser based engines have a great iteration loop. On that front Kaboom.js could be a really quick way to get something fun that you could iterate on or use as a protoptype (look past the silly assets, it's pretty well thought out).

I saw some recommendations for Scratch, which might be fun for something simple, but it's really challenging (as far as I can tell) to scale up to non trivial games.

Taking a step back, see what part of this motivates him. It's an awesome opportunity to channel interest into something creative, focus on that. It might mean cutting scope somewhere, but he'll get more out of it if you can mine that vein of interest.
I live in a country with no youtube ads. Zero. It's heaven.
I am curious, in what ways is WebGPU better than Vulkan or Metal? From my point of view, WebGPU going back to an interpreted shading language like OpenGL makes it conceptually closer to JavaScript than WebAssembly.
I also tried Syncthing to sync my Obsidian vault between my desktop PC and my Android smartphone. However, I don't like having a file synced multiple times in the background while I'm editing it. Since I want my notes to be versioned with Git, I ended up finding a sync solution using Git that works just fine!

I have documented my setup with Git, the Obsidian Git plugin on Desktop and Termux on Android here: https://github.com/davidkopp/termux-scripts/

Nevertheless, I still use Syncthing to sync other files between my devices. Great tool!
Thanks for making the world a better place
We did some tutorials and a book[0] on using KaboomJS. One of them is a "3D" game but probably not in the sense you mean.

They probably need updating as Kaboom had a few updates, but I was surprised by how much the writers enjoyed making the games. A bit like building Flash games but without needing to add in all the free vulnerabilities.

Let me know if you try them!

Hi Lars

Thank you very much for this write-up.

I lost my 21 year old brother in law to leukemia a few years back. Even though I didn't experience the same severity of pain as my wife or in-laws, I was still there through all of it. I saw my parents-in-law taking care of their dying son, who only a few months ago was a promising ornithology student, and the fittest player on his soccer team. What you wrote resonates a lot with what they said, and what I saw them go through.

Thank you for including the reference to Daniel 3, it has been a source of strength for my in-laws too. My brother-in-law got a lot of his strength from Philippians 1:21 "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

The love and care that you provide to your son does not go unnoticed or unseen.

One thing I learned from my in-laws' tragedy, was that the grief never goes away, but you will grow stronger in dealing with it.

I will be hugging my own kids extra-hard when I get home from work this afternoon.
That's what people do with YouTube; why wouldn't they do it with podcasts?

Ask HN: How do you handle a bad job market while you're still employed?
A lot of people here are saying the tech market is the worst it's been in a while. I haven't really felt it, but I figured I might as well ask while I'm still in a seemingly well defended state (1 year of unemployment insurance, fairly secure in my role, etc).
The commercial real estate market is a lot bigger than $5B.
This is a really off base characterization of Android within Google.

Chet Haase wrote a book on those years, and while it is clear that Google gave them rocket fuel to meet their ambitions, their company culture was wildly different from the rest of Google. Shipping code on Android would not have passed muster for anyone at mainline Google; the process and standards were utterly alien from one another.

There is no way Android happens without the acquisition.
Working remote showed me how much I value direct interaction with people. For me, and I spoke to a lot of people for whom it's the same, the sweet spot is a hybrid model. Three days remote, two days on-site. Sometimes the other way round, depends on the tasks for the week.

If I need to do 100% remote, because I may have a light cold and don't want to spread it, I feel miserable after two weeks. That being said, I also will never work 100% on-site again, only if I can walk to work, which given my location, will not happen in the near future.
