That is a dangerous assumption. Unless you know a great deal about every possible use case, you can't know the potential ramifications of incorrect output. Proceeding from invalid state (which would often be the result of swallowing errors) is essentially undefined behavior.
My (very small) tech nonprofit has started doing something similar [1], where everyone contributes to a list of OSS tools we use heavily, and then everyone gives a weight/score to each tool.

We then split the pot ($1,000 in 2022, probably ~$2,000 when I get around to doing 2023) among all the OSS projects, according to the relative scores.

Heh. A buddy of mine once applied for a Linux job and sent his resume as a PDF. They called him back: "OMG, you're the only applicant who didn't send a Word file. We're not worthy."
That's a good narrative to fit in with the "Graveyard" plat, but I think the reality is more nuanced.

1, 2, and now 3 all still exist. They cannibalize only in that attention is finite, but they were losing that attention to others anyways. But 1 was nice, but it was losing attention to 2, so they added 2. Then TikTok made 3, so now they need to add 3 to capture that attention.

The reality is that users want short form video. And YouTube is happy to provide to prevent you from seeing TikTok ads instead. You can still upload your family videos, and you can still watch your TV shows on it.

You're missing when YouTube was all about music, and people used it for music videos. And that YouTube is pushing into Podcasting. And YouTube educational videos, and YouTube Kids. Everyone has the YouTube app, and they need to ensure you don't have a reason to download a new one. Its not random decisions from a bad business, its a ruthless use of a popular platform to capture new formats before users go elsewhere.
stgit makes it trivial.
I had a fake Yann LeCun (Meta's AI chief) follow me. It looked and read like the real thing. I was happy about it for a couple of days until I realized it was fake. It fooled a lot of people. I didn't report it because obviously Musk doesn't care.
Well first you imply a base universe is finite. That is not a given at all.

You don't need to simulate the full universe. Just the experience of consciousness inside it. You don't even have to simulate full consciousness for every 'conscious' being. In fact, I've always seen the simulation argument as a thought experiment arguing for consciousness being more fundamental than matter. There is no need to imagine a human made computer simulating an entire universe in subatomic detail for this thought experiment to intrigue us.

We being able to pinpoint a start of all time is actually a pretty good argument for it being simulated. Why would we be able to calculate a 'start time' for reality? That is not obvious to be a necessity at a base universe at all. There are theoretical cosmologies out there that do away with that need to conceptualize a universe.

The simulated universe doesn't have to run time faster then 'real time' at the base universe at all. In fact, running slower would be a feature if the beings in the base universe wished to escape into the simulation for whatever reason.
magit with vim mode is awesome for this. just visually select the lines, commit, done. so good.
I'm struggling to remember a time when Twitter was not a wasteland.
I do hg split (which I think this is based on? Or at least it's very similar) all the time and it's fine. I guess an IDE makes it a little easier to select regions that don't line up with hunks?
> not something that it's fair to make fun of or dismiss outright

I took pains not to do that in either post I made.
Is this based on Hemlock, or was it written from scratch?

I really, really want a graphical emacs. By that I mean, I want an emacs with graphics, not an emacs in windows. I want to easily be able to draw stuff.

I ran into this the other day, I like to dabble in emacs, and I had a list of results I wanted to make a quick chart. I ended up dumping it out in a simple CSV, and copy/pasting that into a spreadsheet, and hitting "chart".

Would have been nice to go (line-chart my-list) and have a window pop up with reasonable defaults. And be able to print it to a PDF.

emacs has some SVG support, but I guess its maintainer whim whether you get it or not, I wasn't able to easily get it working on my Mac. That could be a start. But something "nicer" would be, you know, "nice".
Most successful org I was involved with was a tiny startup that had daily 15 minute max face to face stand up meetings right after lunch with 3 items on the agenda: Wins, Blockers, Next Steps. Detailed status was done with a weekly email that got archived in a visible project history.
The basic idea here is to use unused physical registers in a register-renaming processor as a level-0 cache. I imagine this is much easier to get good performance out of this technique on architectures with weaker memory models than x86.
Well sure, except metric has big advantages over imperial, whereas `main` is very very slightly easier to type than `master`...
I have a Gameboy-shaped Anbernic RG351V (which runs Linux behind the scenes), it is fun to play PICO-8 games on too.
If you're going to have the 4th box as a backup, instead of power cycling and updating it, consider exercising that backup. Each <period of time> move one system (since you've described it with identical configurations across all four) to the backup, shutdown (or put into some other idle mode) the now unused system. Repeat. This exercises your failover/restoration process. If you never do that, you don't have a failover/backup process.
Well, they just announced publicly that the technology is available. Maybe its just too new to have been productized so far.
It happens all the time, especially online. See lots of posts on social media sites about how Google Search is terrible now and how they can't find anything useful there. Heck, it's even gotta notable enough that even some of the folks most directly responsible for the issue (the SEO industry) are questioning Google's results quality now.
I think it is noticeably worse, because some content is now absent (especially cybersec, at least in my timeline).

The only use of twitter i have left is following US sports, and i guarantee you it's worse.

Also, i hve the distinct impression that women left the platform. I think it was already one of the most masculine coded social media, but now with the rebrand (both logo and new name) i would be surprised if the number of non-activist women on it are really, really low.
why would russians care about what some twitter boy happily living in EU has to say?
If you or someone from this community with successful background are willing to mentor our startup, we will give meaningful equity and mutually agreed compensation.

This is always a tough thing. I think the best sanctions are the ones that hurt the sanctioner more than the sanctionee, that way at least there is a clear negation of any such argument and that any kind of damage to the sitting regime is what it is all about.

What doesn't stop to surprise me is that in every occasion that such dictators rise to the top of the foodchain there there is a whole cadre of enablers that can't wait to be part of the machine. Without them it wouldn't get off the ground. But they always exist and they always seem to exist in large enough numbers that these assholes get to make their play, to the bitter end in most cases.
Could you do a separate HN post for this, so it'll come up in searches?
I don't think I've ever gotten delivery pizza that also wasn't piping hot, and it didn't require me to pre-buy pizzas ahead of time and the quality is much better from delivery than frozen. I have a local brand of frozen that I really like but they are essentially $10+ now and still aren't actually as good as fresh.

Let's not be fooled, corporate personhood is, in practice, entirely about allowing companies to bribe politicians and shielding executives from all punishment for wrongdoing the businesses commit under their purview.

Bob, being the owner of the business, clearly has fourth amendment rights even if the company doesn't. Ergo the property of the company is protected (hypothetically, you seem to forget that the fourth amendment is hardly even real anymore due to rampant abuse of civil forfeiture). But, on the other hand, when the company, say, poisons a hundred people with knowingly carcinogenic products, Bob is the human being responsible.

Companies being "people" is utterly ridiculous and always has been.
...It's in the comment you were responding to. Directly above the section you quoted.
I'm a developer with 15+ YOE, working mostly on legacy code in a govt job but I have extensive experience with modern code bases (C, Rust), and I have contributed to lots of FOSS of projects over the years in my free time as a way to learn new tech. I would work full time on Open Source if I was paid enough to leave my 9-5 job, which is not a lot in a third world country like mine. Say, $1500 / month.
Even single-use items like plastic forks/spoons that typically come wrapped in a ton of plastic these days, it's everywhere. In a typical delivery order they'll give you several of these even if you don't ask for them. CA tried to reduce single use plastic bag waste by mandating the 10c surcharge and "sturdy" bags, but now you just added a meaningless cost to the consumer who's going to largely use the bags in the exact same manner as before, but now they're even HEAVIER plastic.

It's just a mess.
I can't imagine working for Twitter, in a position to fix things like this, and having to listen to Musk tell me to 'stay the course'. I know that everyone has a price, so their salary must be insanely good.
Got a Miyoo mini for my kid and I played a bit on it and have to say I fell in love with pico-8 games. They’re simple games but the playability is off the charts. I think I’ll join the club and make some myself.

> CHEQ also provided Mashable with fake traffic data from the entire month of January 2024. TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram all had very similar stats to each platform's respective Super Bowl weekend numbers. Slightly more than 2.8 percent of the 306 million visits sent from TikTok were determined to be fake. Out of the 90 million visits that came from Facebook, a bit more than 2 percent were fake. And Instagram's traffic was only 0.96 percent fake, based on 749,000 visits.

The relative scale on visits here doesn't make any sense: TikTok 306M, Facebook 90M, Twitter 759K, Instagram 749K.

This seems like marketing for a snake-oil bot detection product masquerading as a political hit piece to get attention.
I'm over here trying to fathom the lack of control over one's own life it would take to cause someone to turn into an online copyright cop, when the data in question isn't even their own, is clearly divorced from any context which would make it useful for anything other than fixing the bug, and about which the original copyright holder hasn't complained.

Some people just want to argue.

If the copyright holder has a problem with the use, they are perfectly entitled to spend some of their dollar bills to file a law suit, as part of which the contents of the files can be entered into the public record for all to legally access, as was done with Scientology.

I don't expect anyone would be so daft.
People will actually revert commits? For real? At work? Where do I get to sign up?
As someone who did the opposite switch I was surprised how easy it is to make your own shortcuts on macOS.

I also thought the built-in help on macOs pretty amazing. With Microsoft (except in Office) you basically have to Google and hope that there aren’t only links to their useless support forum. They should just replace it with a page that explains how to run sfc.exe /scannow.
I wrote an implementation of libmagic in Racket a few years ago(https://github.com/jjsimpso/magic). File type identification is a pretty interesting topic.

As others have noted, libmagic detects many more file types than Magika, but I can see Magika being useful for text files in particular, because anything written by humans doesn't have a rigid format.
He talks left but votes right.

That's what populists do. They say what people want to hear and then suit themselves.
Because Stainless Steel != No Rust Ever... kind of a major "duh" for anyone who's ever owned a stainless pocket knife, or even silverware. You don't even need to read the article, it should have been obvious to everyone - particularly the designers at Tesla.

There's a fairly good reason modern vehicles are mostly made from Aluminum and Plastic.
Can we switch to aluminum and add in a small recycle "deposit" like they do on soda cans? If there is money to be made on the deposit, this creates a strong incentive to recycle the containers.
Making it a linker error doesn't even seem to be considered. Xbox is a separate target so a recompile is needed anyway ...
VSCode handles this very well too: select the lines you want to commit and do "Git: Stage selected ranges"
So, instead of printing a pretty plot in 2 lines of code, you will be... making these 20k syscalls yourself?

Maybe dinosaurs jumped to another star that time and arranged some fireworks to ensure no one will follow?
That would be a correct assessment, but that would not stop people from calling it that if that does happen.
So true...

If you run a web app of any sort, and you don't have "X-Frame-Options: Deny" in your headers, you'll get lots of "researchers" (that are probably bots) e-mailing you that you have a CRITICAL security issue.

He should just sell twitter and focus on real things. This whole saving the town square free speech thing was fun for a bit and now everyone knows twitter was never the town square and free speech was never a problem. Tesla stocks are tumbling because of his bullshit.

nato is a defensive pact
That is plenty of time to smile, say hello, say excuse me, have a face-to-face interaction. You wave at the child staring at you, you make appropriate warm sounds toward the dog barking with its tail wagging. You all react together to the funny sight, to the ambulance, to the sun in your eyes.

You also connect by just seeing what people are doing; you are out there with them. You have time and visibility to see the whole world, 360 deg x 180 deg.

Also you stop, maybe at a light, maybe to look at something, and see and talk to people there. You work out a traffic issue by talking and smiling, face to face, not by honking and banging on your dashboard. You see friends and say hello. You see somebody do something nice and say 'thank you'.
I suspect the main impact will be on cutscenes, trailers for games in very early development, etc rather than on the gameplay itself. It's all well and good creating videos in this way, but creating environments that both look good and run well enough to keep a mostly consistent 60fps framerate are very different things, and I don't think Sora AI has even remotely been optimised for the latter.
> would it be fair to characterize this as asking the LLM to write code you don't already know how to write on your own?

Yea absolutely. I also use it to just write code I understand but am too lazy to write, but it's definitely effective at "show me how this works" type learning too.

> Those are the tasks where I've struggled to find ways to make LLMs save me any time or effort

Github CoPilot has an IDE integration where it can output directly into your editor. This is great for "// TODO: Unit Test for add(x, y) method when x < 0" and it'll dump out the full test for you.

Similarly useful for things like "write me a method that loops through a sorted list, and finds anything with <condition> and applies a transformation and saves it in a Map". Basically all those random helper methods and be written for you.
Having to record all inbound cash as income was a deal breaker for me. I wanted to like Firefly, but couldn't because of this.

Masayoshi Son Seeks to Build a $100B AI Chip Venture

Here's a fairly easily understood problem, which if you could solve it would make you famous in the mathematical world and win you a million dollar prize:

For a positive integer n:

Let H(n) = 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n

Let D(n) = the sum of the positive integers that divide n. E.g., D(12) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 12 = 28.

Prove or disprove that for any positive integer n > 1:

D(n) < H(n) + exp(H(n)) log(H(n))

That easy to understand problem turns out to be equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis [1], which is one of the most famous and important unsolved problems in number theory.

I care, because it introduced a ton of unnecessary pain into my workflow. Yes really. I now have a mix of repos using `master` and `main`, and I have to remember which one to use.

One repo uses `master` but a subtree uses `main`. If you make a mistake and checkout `main` you end up clobbering your whole working tree with the subtree.

I also have tooling that used to happily assume `master`, which worked fine 99% of the time. Now it works 50% of the time, and even worse the name of the main branch is just a convention, so you can't even read a setting to see which one to use.

I don't care about the specific name. `main` would definitely have made more sense from the start (classic terrible Git naming). But I do care about pointlessly changing it and breaking everything.
Avdiivka is a tiny fraction of all of Ukraine, but it's still noteworthy that Russia is making significant progress there, and pushing in at other points on the whole front. Ukraine's lines aren't at imminent risk of collapsing, but they have a pretty serious shortage of artillery shells and other equipment, and it's taking a toll.

If the U.S. were still supplying Ukraine they'd be in a much better place.
Old studies about income/wealth and job success vs. IQ are unconvincing
> Indeed. There's a common saying that sort of derives from Frédéric Bastiat that "where goods cross borders, armies don't." Trade and economic dependence is the best deterrent of war that there is.

It's a saying whose truth has been greatly exaggerated, and the people who foolishly believe it have a tendency to make themselves vulnerable.

> That doesn't necessarily mean that it stops all war, but it definitely raises the cost of war and costs matter.

Costs apparently matter less than you think.
That's an unfortunate take. "Unclean" is your choice of words, not ours. There is no hostility to people who use proprietary software, nor is any kind of judgement of other people's computing purposes and habits warranted.

Personally, I avoid proprietary software where I can, but I've found myself in many situations where I'm made to use it. But that's really the point: the free software movement's goal is to create a world in which people are no longer compelled or coerced or forced into being mistreated by proprietary software. You don't need to subscribe to these values, of course, but it is unfortunate if you experience this goal as a personal judgment. Keep in mind that one of the four software freedoms is the freedom to use software for any purpose you want --- judgement of users would be a completely misdirected emotion.

Having said that, the Guix project's communication channels simply aren't for proprietary software. The Nonguix communication channels are. The HPC channels are. You will likely get redirected to those communication channels if you ask about proprietary software on Guix project channels.
I've used tig to do this for 15+ years. It's effortless. I know lazygit is more modern and has more features, but tig does this so well I have no need to change.
Literally just asked a question and that seems to have set you off, bud. Are you alright? Do you need to feed your LLM more data to keep it happy?
The EU is at least as much a consequence of economic integration as it is a driver of it. The Marshall Plan wasn't just handshake deals to play nicely from now on.
"Otherwise Kiev would be rumbled by now."

It is not for lack of trying on part of Russia. They send plenty of missiles in that direction. It's just that Kiev is protected by modern air defenses more than any other Ukrainian city.

So far Russia has not hesitated completely destroying relatively large Ukrainian cities. If you need a link to the pictures, let me know.
I don't know what you're talking about. Historically, mac programs were designed with way more, and way better hotkeys than Windows apps. It's just that people got used to alt and arrow keys to dig around menus. Macs have a whole proper 3rd modifier key. Up until Windows 10, the "Windows Key" was a damn joke that wasted a spot lol.

Plus I can do things like ctrl+a/ctrl+e pretty much anywhere to go beginning of line/end of line (except microsoft apps). I can use ctrl+c in the terminal like it was meant to be, since copy is mapped to cmd+c.

I could go on probably, but seriously, that was one of my favorite things jumping from Windows 2000 to Mac OS X lol.

I honestly couldn't stand using Windows for any serious kinda work until 10 added WSL and improved git support.

Then again, I learned how to program on bsd machines and spent most of my teenage times using linux and OS X. I still don't really grok writing code or using dev toolchains on Windows. It's such a foreign OS. Everything about it feels backwards and upside down. It's like every other OS is a car with a wheel, shifter and two/three pedals. And then Microsoft came along and made a car with 2 joysticks and a butt controller.

Admittedly, MacOS is feeling more and more like that these days. They keep breaking shit. I tried to figure out how to accept/decline incoming phone call notifications (on a mac) and there isn't a hotkey for it. lol. I'm still pondering how I'd do that, because I have a stream deck here and I'd really like to set it up on my mom's computer lol.
I don't personally think is economic liberalization that succeeded.

It's the US won't stand for anymore wars like that. And for 50 years after WWII they could enforce that. You can note the general absence of large wars in North and South America as evidence of that.
I think that's why the merged google music into youtube for youtube music, I imagine they had much better licensing terms on the youtube side.

You just created a scenario in your head that confirmed an existing bias in your head and then assumed that your made up scenario matched reality. Very weird to read.
