Think of this as an improved version of MessagePack, Avro, and Protobufs. (I made this)

Finding objects via name hash is supported. Storing an objects endianness is supported. Nested objects are Supported.

The encoding is easy to understand, and less common floating point formats such as bfloat16 and posits/quires (Unums) are supported.

This is freestanding and very small. Sorry if the format of the README and examples are annoying to read.

Unlike CBOR, Avro, Bincode, and MessagePack, you can figure out if there's N types of same type/size ahead: https://github.com/loveandkindess/gooseberry/blob/main/goose...

It depends, ChatGPT had a prompt that was pre-inserted by OpenAI that primed it for user input. A couple of weeks ago someone convinced it to print out the system prompt.
I know about the leaked prompts and the laziness issues, but haven't read the prompt. What specifically about the prompt changes do you feel have led to laziness?

It’s most annoying when you have something like recently - known maintenance work on my upstream home fiber connection that was resulting in service degradation (but not complete loss, my fiber line was back to DSL or dialup). The chat lady could see that my area was affected, but the issue lookup system couldn’t.

If the issue lookup had told me there as an issue I’d’ve gone on my merry way.

I even checked a few more times until it was resolved; the issue never appeared in the issue lookup system.

Having said that my attempt to bear a corporate windows on a corporate laptop with WSL2 was terrible and I ended up installing linux on it and using the online version of office 365. I would run Linux as a host OS and a windows VM for anything specific to windows. There are ways to share filesystems nowadays.
There are examples of it recognizing there are issues in this very thread.

Not that people always recognize such issues anyway.
Run windows as a VM host with Linux VMs in which you can run all your nix.

You can script windows things with powershell and package managers — which you can test on Windows VMs.

Just make the VMs your primary work machines, and leave the host are unmodified as possible unless absolutely necessary.

Alternatively, you can use a Linux host for VMs.
While there's definitely something to be said for ignoring the ridiculous extremes that a world of billions of people can throw up, there's still some much less dramatic effects in our daily lives.

For example, at the big company I worked for in the UK if you were to look at our marketing material, documentation and in-app images you'd be forgiven for thinking that the UK was 30% black and 20% South Asian. (East Asians were comparatively neglected, being about as common as white men)

OCCT is definitely difficult.

I am almost as far as you can get from an expert (and I am sure there is one here who can explain it better and hopefully correct me) but:

For example the TNP issue derives from OCCT (or something in the stack close to it, I am not exactly sure) not really handling face naming at all.

So if you want to avoid topological naming issues (which is a hard problem in CAD), you apparently have to do some work to track before and after and reconstruct your face naming from either side of the OCCT black box.

https://wiki.freecad.org/Topological_naming_problem

https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=27278

Then there are various fairly entrenched issues to do with filleting and chamfering. Basically, both these operations will fail if a chamfer or fillet would completely consume an existing edge. It also sometimes creates impossible objects when filleting, or used to.

Booleans can be slow.

And more generally, it seems if you track the FreeCAD project that OCCT can be inscrutable when things fail; error messages aren't the greatest etc.

The flip side of OpenCascade is that it seems to be highly portable and has for example been compiled to JS with Emscripten for this astonishing thing:

https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/

It's a monumental open source project, for sure, and it's definitely not nothing that we have an open source CAD kernel; these are projects that perhaps have to extend beyond the working life of an individual developer if they are to be stable. And there are loads of projects built around it. So it's absolutely consequential and we're lucky to have it.

Long COVID shares a lot of symptoms with ME/CFS. And yes it has been researched before, but neurological illnesses are usually beyond our knowledge at this point. Additional funding/attention to Long COVID could help with both.
Apparently not. It seems like a lot of science things we hear about are about obvious things.

Maybe most obvious things don’t get funded so the research cannot be done.

Not just smaller, but you can even have them be larger than the image. Then you can move the layer around and have the image essentially acting as a cropping window into that layer. I most commonly experience that when I've imported/pasted in a larger image as a layer
Awesome comment. I'd love to hear your take on:

3. Your take on the "everyone has SIBO and should eat hyper-fermented yogurt" https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/2019/07/how-to-make-l-reut.... This feels like mostly snakeoil sales, but the idea that probiotics are basically useless because the CFU is too low does makes sense and it seems like there is research around L. reuteri improving many IBS/SIBO symptoms.

Feel free to DM me as well—very curious about this.

Prior to Jetbrains I bounced around with a bunch of different IDE's. When I found Jetbrains I really started to enjoy coding more.
The problem is that they're both terrible.

Going first route means we get to calcify our terrible current biases in the future, while the latter instead goes for a facile and sanitized version of our expectations.

You're asking a machine for a binary "bad/good" response to complex questions that don't have easy answers. It will always be wrong, regardless of your prompt.
Just get a cheap Windows laptop, and only use it for that one class. You can get a 15" HP with 16 GB of RAM for $300 brand new, retail. Use the "Restore" when you're done and give it away to someone who needs a computer.

I'm assuming most people here aren't in the precariat like me. If you are, then get a used Windows laptop, they're even cheaper.

One thing to note is you won't be able to have a welder just standing there operating this, as it will produce energetic photons from bremsstrahlung, some of which will scatter back out of the metal. There will be little or no induced radioactivity, but the radiation environment during operation will be significant.

Low pressure nuclear systems (like molten salt systems) will not need nearly as thick walls or deep welds, but they have their own problems.
Heartily disagree. Having an avenue where nations can be shamed for their crimes against humanity as well as a central org that both announces common human rights and monitors for them is immensely useful on any normative ethics yardstick, whether utilitarian, essentialist, effective altruism, and so forth.

There is (was?) a tool called a slim Jim that was basically a purpose-built coathanger for unlocking doors.

There was some talk of banning them in some areas, because people love treating symptoms rather than causes.

Nowadays the tow truck drivers have a little inflatable bag they slide into the top of the door and inflate so they can press the unlock button from the inside. Quite effective!
Thought this was a pretty interesting read. It explores behaviors for ICs, Teams, and EMs, from commendable to those utterly egregious. For example, it discusses things like Learning to Say ‘No!’, Onboarding Too Much and Too Fast, Mentorship, Reckless Deployment , and Rubber Stamping PRs. Each behavior is described and has a 'how to spot it' and a 'how to encourage/discourage it' part. I highly recommend it.

> Is it acceptable to correct the answer to the query "Eminent scientist" from 95% men, 5% woment to 50%/50% or to the current ratio of men/women in science ? Should we correct the ratio of black to white people in answering a generic question to average across the globe or US ?

I would expect AI to at least generate answers consistent with reality. If I ask for a historical figure who just happens to be white, AI needs to return a picture of that white person. Any other race is simply wrong. If I ask a question about racial based statistics which have an objective answer, AI needs to return that objective answer.

If we can't even trust AI to give us factual answers to simple objective facts, then there's definitely no reason to trust whatever AI says about complicated, subjective topics.

In almost a decade of using Pycharm I have not once used the builtin shell. (Debug console is another matter.)

It can never beat the system terminal+shell setup you pick yourself (for me Alacrity+z4h zsh distro). I can only see it as a nice-to-have for when you for some reason cannot install your own terminal. The UI-UX divergence from the system-wide shell setup will always be too wide and incur a learning-curve/feature gap.
I switched to Win 11 pro after about a decade with Mac.

WSL2 + VSCode is enough for most of my use cases. Get Power Toys. You can now create a dev drive that has better performance with many small files like in node, if you are not using WSL. Multiple Desktop/Monitor is so much better than Mac. Need to spend couple of hours initially to tune it to my liking, after that it is mostly smooth run. I thought using Choco/WinGet initially but initial installation by going to each site isn't that big a pain. Go with lot of RAM if using Docker.

Show HN: BreakRoom, draft messages/documents using the information in your files
Hi HN! BreakRoom is a tool that lets you upload files, then uses the information in them to draft messages, responses, and other types of documents.

I felt like existing AI tools require careful prompting to get usable results, making them hard to use for less tech/AI savvy users. I built BreakRoom to let users get usable results with very little prompt engineering — it uses information from your repository of files when relevant, and has a pre-written set of chain-of-thought prompts for each use-case.

Full transparency, I wanted to build a tool that did all this directly within a Gmail inbox, but Google’s new security audit requirement for sensitive scopes was a barrier to entry. I figured I’d build something quick and dirty to validate usefulness and iterate first. I wanted people to have a little fun with it too so check out the "After Hours" toggle on the top right :)

Thank you to anyone that uses BreakRoom and/or provides feedback.

Thanks!

"Easily distracted" is a flawed description - it's pretty much how it appears to parents of children with ADHD when they don't focus on something the parent wants them to, but from the perspective of a person with ADHD it's more like "no agency in directing your focus". So, no, you can certainly miss the snake or lion because all your brain resources went into analyzing patterns on a leaf instead of listening to the human that's now getting upset.

In fact, people with ADHD are usually more focused and harder to distract than other people - as long as they do something actually interesting to them.
Really what you want is to find out what system prompt the model is using. If the system prompt strongly suggests to include diverse subjects in outputs even when the model might not have originally, you’ve got your culprit. Doesn’t matter that the model can’t assess its own abilities, it’s being prompted a specific way and it just so happens to follow its system prompt (to its own detriment when it comes to appeasing all parties on a divisive and nuanced issue).

It’s a bit frustrating how few of these comments mention that OpenAI has been found to do this _exact_ same thing. Like exactly this. They have a system prompt that strongly suggests outputs should be diverse (a noble effort) and sometimes it makes outputs diverse when it’s entirely inappropriate to do so. As far as I know DALLE3 still does this.
Or, if even $300 seems steep for a computer to use for just some windows software, go to a used computer shop. I picked up my daughter’s Thinkpad for like $150

My meta take on this is there is no real critique. The article is just articulating that we don't know too much so we shouldn't focus on it, which seems like an incredibly dumb conclusion.

Instead, shouldn't we research & experiment? Especially since solving cronic health issues is not straightforward (too many variables, requires lots of experimentation since we do not fully understand the underlying system we are operating in).

Am I no doctor, but my anecdotal evidence (most friends have some sort of weird gastro issues), market changes (tons of gluten-free & dairy-free foods compared to even 5 years ago), combined with research seems to indicate that there is a big problem and we should be thinking about this.

I get that they have different priorities because old fonts were print-oriented and modern ones are designed for screen readability but at a pure aesthetic level I feel that the older ones win out.
