The exact same thing can be said about Instagram and the US. The fact consumers are summoned once in a while to chose in-between two sockpuppets of the establishment (corporations + deep state) is of little relevance, especially to foreigners like me living under its imperialism.

Yep, just syntactic sugar.
CDNow had more in their catalog than the huge onion-skin book that the local independent music store had.

They were selling things online very, very early -- it seems like they were doing that an eternity before "e-commerce" became a part of the vernacular.

In the days before Sir Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web became common, I used to browse CDNow using telnet from a borrowed dialup account on a university VAX system, with a terminal emulator running on MS-DOS.

Fun stuff. (I never bought anything from CDNow -- I used it as a service to find the catalog numbers of the CDs I wanted to buy, which I'd then order from the local shop downtown.)
I ended up at the same point after a lot of trying and failing but wanted a _few_ extra features than notepad offers. It's also important to me to be able to take notes in a browser.

I do use logseq/obsidian in my better moments, but having another faster system is so helpful for a number of reasons.

My Macbook and Linux PC both hibernate after an hour or so idle time. And I only restart as its usually a quicker fix to turn it off and on than find out the process with the issue, etc.
I tried it out, and I was taken aback how quickly it answered.
> trying to find various items for the kitchen that are better than the crappy import stuff sold everywhere but not ludicrously expensive for a low use item.

If you're wanting BIFL kitchen items for low use try looking for commercial foodservice versions. That stuff is generally priced between plastic throwaway versions and Williams Sonoma but if it's built to survive at least a month in a busy professional kitchen, it'll probably serve me for life.

Alternatively, head over to your nearest ethnic grocers. I have some Asian and Mexican grocery stores near me that have kitchen supply sections that stock no-frills but reasonable quality versions of kitchen tools. My nearby standard American grocery stores stock much lower quality items by comparison.

There's a virtue in being able to take this and plug it into a large-enough-context-windowed ChatGPT to be able to search/converse with.

Makes me think that the real play is to use ChatGPT for, say, an ongoing todo list/dialog/personal notes system for that purpose. Or wire up a custom GPT to reference notes stored elsewhere.

Either way, the idea that you can interrogate, intelligently, a list of your own ramblings, is pretty damn cool.
I'm having a heckuva time reading the tea leaves on GKI.

On the one hand, we might actually be able to upgrade kernels! Neat, overdue, necessary. S24 has 7 years of updates! Why & what changed? Well, there's decent upstream support. Ok, so they can keep the computer running. But the phone is basically a whole second system, and GKI promise to let them keep the phone parts running along as is, while the computer part changes. This is cool.

I'm a bit scared though too. We're opening a pandora's box where a good portion of the computer's drivers are no longer running on Linux. How many of the upstreaming efforts that are now underway will be undermined by folks running vendor blobs against the stable & closed Google Kernel Interface, instead of the changing & GPL Linux Kernel Interface? GKI seems like an insane threat to mainstream winning; it's a totally parallel constructed world designed to avoid the need to mainstream, and that's basically a horror.

I'd love to see a Google Kernel Interface run on a non-Android device. If I can run a Debian phone & have all the fancy bits and bobs work, I won't feel so bad about GKI. But it feels like GKI is custom-bred for Android specifically, and that Google is pulling off the mother of all Embrace, Extend, and Extinguishes against Linux, is finally going to subvert & dethrone the Linux kernel by wrapping it & making everyone target that (& have the wrapper be ultra-coupled to Android).

L'Intelligenza Artificiale nella Pubblica Amministrazione: Una Rivoluzione in Atto

L'adozione dell'intelligenza artificiale (IA) nella Pubblica Amministrazione (P.A.) segna un'epoca di trasformazione digitale senza precedenti. Il Piano Triennale per l'Informatica nella P.A. 2024-2026 sottolinea un impegno deciso verso l'innovazione, puntando a rendere i servizi pubblici più efficienti, accessibili e personalizzati.

Strategie e Obiettivi

Il documento evidenzia come l'IA sarà cruciale per automatizzare i processi, migliorare la decisione politica grazie a dati più accurati e offrire ai cittadini servizi su misura. Progetti pilota e iniziative chiave sono già in cantiere per dimostrare il potenziale dell'IA nel migliorare l'interazione tra cittadini e P.A.

Sfide e Opportunità

Nonostante l'entusiasmo, il Piano riconosce sfide significative, come le questioni di privacy, sicurezza dei dati e necessità di un quadro etico solido. Tuttavia, le opportunità superano di gran lunga le preoccupazioni: l'IA promette di snellire i servizi pubblici, riducendo i costi e migliorando l'esperienza dei cittadini.

Verso il Futuro

Guardando al futuro, il Piano anticipa una P.A. sempre più interconnessa e intelligente, dove l'IA gioca un ruolo centrale nel soddisfare le esigenze dei cittadini con soluzioni innovative. L'obiettivo è di costruire una pubblica amministrazione che apprende, si adatta e migliora continuamente grazie all'IA.

Conclusione

Il Piano Triennale per l'Informatica nella P.A. 2024-2026 apre nuove frontiere per l'uso dell'IA nei servizi pubblici, offrendo una visione di progresso e innovazione. La sfida sarà quella di navigare le acque complesse dell'etica e della privacy, ma le prospettive sono promettenti per una P.A. più efficiente e reattiva alle esigenze dei cittadini.

On a related note: I have the impression Broadcom is more and more losing terrain to the likes of Qualcomm and Mediatek. A couple of years ago nearly everybody was using Broadcom chips in their products (or at least in the consumer-grade telecom devices I'm familiar with as part of my job). Now I'm seeing a shift away from them.

I can't really say if it's due to better features, price, vendor support, open source support, documentation, or perhaps all of the above. In any case, some competition is certainly welcome.
I've assumed for a long time that the number of species is way over-inflated, just because it sounds cooler to discover a "species" rather than some variation within a species.
Ehh... UI was comparable. Chrome was a bit faster.

For the ads, see some snapshots of what that campaign looked like at the time https://searchengineland.com/googles-jaw-dropping-sponsored-... It was a massive push of basically spammy links all over the internet.

To be clear, I'm sure some people switched for the features. But given the scale of the sponsored push to every internet user, we can't really say features were the reason for most people. There's no way to run the experiment the other way.
There are many enterprise security tools that can detect compromised accounts. These tools monitor traffic and behavior and report or actively block traffic that doesn't look "normal."

What looks "normal" depends on the org, but 23&Me knows what it is (or should, since it's a fundamental of running their business).

Just as a made up example, they may know that 85% of users don't use VPNs, and typically have an IP address that geolocates within 100 miles of their mailing address (which 23&Me has on file). Users might also typically log in very infrequently between 12-4am (localized to their IP/mailing address). And when they do log in, 90% of the time it's to see the new content you just sent a marketing email about, with short session lengths as well.

A user who logs in through an IP that geolocates well outside of their mailing address and methodically steps through every possibly thing you can click on at 3:15AM, is probably a bad actor who gained access through credential stuffing attacks.

Off the shelf tools can automatically detect all of that kind of behavior, and more. They can look at the collective traffic patterns and see a bunch of users logging in from the same pool of IPs, or the same VPN, or around the same time, or using the site in the same way as others bearing similar attributes. They can stop wide spread coordinated attacks from botnets.

The same tools can automatically detect and alert when credential stuffing attacks are happening, locking down accounts and requiring their passwords to be reset.

Given the scale at which 23&Me operated, it's impossible that they weren't aware of these tools.

Investing in the right tools is just one of many things they could have done. Even with those kinds of tools, you need to assume they're not enough (even if they are), so you encrypt everything at rest. Every decryption gets audited, and audit logs get fed into the same monitoring tools used to alert and stop abnormal behavior.

It all sounds overkill, but remember: they lost 91% of their valuation. All it took was the wrong people getting in, and it tanked their entire business.
> I think maybe is a clearer name for what the statement is doing and the lack of the 'do' block

It's because basically everything in Elixir is a macro :), and the do block is an argument/parameter to that macro:

maybe x do
...
end

# is really

maybe x, do: ...

# which ends up being a macro call with a named parameter

maybe(x, do: ...)

Same goes for many (all?) other things in Elixir:

if x do
...
end

# is really

if x, do: ...

# which ends up being a macro call with a named parameter

if(x, do: ...)

And so on.

But it took me a very long to come to grips with this, too :)
My point is that you're ginning up a scenario in your head that wasn't ever going to happen, and you're doing it so that you can feel bad about things for a little bit because feeling bad is nostalgic. You don't really need loose ideas like that rolling around your head when you're taking these meds. That was your old life.
Very observant! I know that that is possible and left it in, at least for now.

Sorry about that though. For now, if you open the browser dev tools (F12 on Windows or opt-command-J on mac, in chrome anyway), go to the network tab, and refresh and look at the network request to the /puzzle endpoint on load, you'll see the solution.
Another possibility is that the only thing that LLMs are doing is encoding the structural data that exists in natural language. For example, you can load a corpus into vector space and then do algebra like:

let v = man - woman;
let r = king - v;
assert( r == queen );

or so I'm told.

And then it turns out that those structures only have the intelligence of a child. Arbitrary LLM and other ML advancements that focus solely on scanning large natural language datasets may never be able to advance past child level intelligence if the intelligence that they're approximating isn't better than a child.
Show HN: Self-hosted family tree web app
Memoria is a self-hosted family tree web app, built using a minimalist Java web framework. It may be used to document a family tree on the web. Search and homepage show people who are deceased and have an associated photograph.

Furthermore, it is an example of pragmatic minimalism and test-driven development, focused on maintainability. It may differ from the conventional expectation of contemporary web app programming style, but it is debatably well-suited for a long-term approach, having only one dependency.

Instructions: Once running (see quick start), become authenticated by entering credentials at http://localhost:8080/login. Enter new persons using "Create New Person". Persons may be related to one another through anchor tags, and the system will then calculate the family tree from that information. Help is provided by the "i" icon in the top right in the application.

Please let me know what you think.

- Main programming language: Java version 21 and upwards - required for virtual threads
- Size of the application, including all necessary dependencies: 600 Kb
- Database/Web server: provided by the Minum web framework (https://github.com/byronka/minum)
- Startup time: 500 milliseconds
- Average memory usage: 64 Mb
- Peak memory usage: 300 Mb with 176 persons and 387 photos under heavy continuous loading
- Average time per request: 5 milliseconds
The example was asking for top 1. Yes, you are correct that you'd have to switch up to a window function to handle top-n+1.

Do you believe these cases are common enough to warrant discarding the tools and training available to SQL? Are you also certain that PRQL doesn't have corner cases where SQL is more concise and/or easier to understand?

FYI Soldat used/uses PascalScript and had no classes in the beginning (they where added later to the ScriptCore.)

It's still around. The FLOSS version is called OpenSoldat now (I plan to get it back on track eventually as it became unstable with Version 1.8).

Really enjoyed the quick compile times :)
WASM is kind of coming full circle back around to when browsers used to support running Java Applets, or flash, or even ActiveX, however, this time, WASM is safe and is built into the browser.

Figma has been the one platform to take full advantage of it in really jaw-dropping ways that proved you could write real creative professional productive software only in the frame of a Chrome window.

It's just that WASM is not really practical for use for most things you want in a web browser, though the tooling to spit out WASM modules seem to keep getting better.
I run a forum platform, and the best recommendations for anything are within the small communities.

It doesn't really matter what the community is for, only last week on a cycling forum someone asked for "What's the best alarm clock?"... two days of discussion later, and everyone has aligned on "Buy one of the Braun alarm clocks" with the only debate left about which particular model was best (it turns out, 3 models cover everyone, and all are still better than anything else). If you went to Google and asked the same question https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=What%27s+... you get a lot of "Best alarm clock" list (with the year meantioned)... but few to none recommend a Braun alarm clock.

You can repeat this for virtually anything... the small communities won't have an instant answer unless someone already asked it, but will produce a better answer every time, and I agree with the article that what has happened to Google isn't great, the incentives have all aligned to produce the worst content, by some of the most trusted sources, and to have that ranked high regardless of whether it helps answer anyone's question.
> Part of this is that it is dependent on the using good exercises to begin with. For example, find a PR that fixed a performance issue and use the before code as the exercise to see if the candidate spots the issue. Do they propose the same fix? Perhaps they can propose an even better fix.

I think this exactly highlights the problem with this approach. Most senior engineers I've talked to would start by looking at metrics and traces versus code. If that didn't exist then they'd start by adding instrumentation before trying to solve the performance problem. In fact they'd consider a code first approach as a sign of a very junior engineer (or out of touch EM). The original PR as a result likely took that all into account. Someone who figures it out code first either has bad habits/approaches to performance issues (thus making them good at the wrong way of solving such problems) or just got lucky.
How are they filtering out posts from existing generative ai models in the training set? Or do they just not bother and train on increasingly polluted datasets?
Presumably you mean inversely correlated?
I am drawn to the idea of keeping todo lists, but it seems like whenever I start to do it, I begin to feel stressed out or overwhelmed. Not so much by the contents of the list, but by maintaining a list in and of itself. Kind of like an obsessive type of problem. Does anyone else feel this way?
The problem goes back to at least 1859 and was really codified by Ernst Myer in 1942, it's not exactly something we're just now discovering.
Django also has some GIS tools builtin if you need to do anything with geographic data. It has a solid library of error handling, messages, and web security tooling you will probably need, and, the third party ecosystem, both Djano specific modules and the wider Python ecosystem are very powerful.
That feeling of anxiety when looking over software should be taken as a cue to get better at it, not a feeling to be processed as such. Because it goes away as mastery goes up. Pretty soon all that whitespace becomes anxiety-inducing in and of itself
Parking minimums reduce the number of homes that can be built in a given area, thereby reducing the supply of homes, thereby denying people homes.

You can build parking! Just don't force people to build it when price signals indicate housing is a more valuable use of said land.

You think it's unfair to ask whether a simulation of a person can think in a discussion on whether some particular class of algorithm can think? Lacking a clear definition of what exactly an LLM is and what thinking is, I can't think of a single more germane question (aside from what those definitions are, I suppose).
The topic isn't banned. The keyword isn't filtered. HN mods said none of the things you've claimed.

What you're seeing is users flagging the articles. We've turned the flags off on stories related to Gaza several times. The people you disagree with are just as upset about it as you are, btw, and just as convinced that the site is biased against them.

This is an impossible situation, but I'm still willing to turn off flags on the story in the future—but the article is going to have to be something more substantial than an opinion piece about a meme. Obviously the users who flagged this particular submission were correct to do so.

I assume you've already seen the many explanations I've posted about how we approach this and similar topics, but in case not—or for anyone who wants to know—here are a few:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38749162 (Dec 2023)

This is all standard HN moderation practice that has been in place for many years. We haven't changed it. You're welcome to disagree about particular calls (i.e. about particular threads)—I don't claim we've called everything perfectly, in fact I know we haven't. But it's cheap and wrong for you to defame us for not allowing HN to burn to the ground on this topic, just as it's cheap and wrong for others to do so because we won't suppress the topic altogether.
I'm curious what the reasons for another faster system are? Obsidian is pretty fast for me; I can't imagine it being much faster.
Regarding the size I would guess that if htmz would be extended to have the same features as htmx, it would also be similar in size? Would it make sense to modularize htmx in order to only pay for what you really use to support adding features without necessarily increasing the downloaded size?
There is always going to be difficulty in trying to put categorical labels on continuous distributions.

I've long wondered whether abandoning the concept of "species" in favor of some continuous measure of genetic relatedness would work.

From a practical, everyday standpoint, it would obviously be unworkable. We created the idea of species because in day-to-day life it's incredibly useful and only breaks down in some pretty niche edge cases (again: from the perspective of a lay person, those edge cases are both more common and more important to the scientists working with them). But as far as scientists, and particularly phylogenists and evolutionary biologists/ecologists go, it seems like we might save, if nothing else, a ton of effort that currently goes into trying to fit the round peg of nature into the square hole of our categorical system.

That being said, phylogeny is at best only tangentially related to my own expertise so I'm sure there would be difficulties that I haven't though of.
