Windows as my host machine and run Linux in the WSL.

:)

I do it the other way around. Linux as my host machine and run Windows in virtualbox.

I look at Windows every now and then, but I always abandon the idea because it's so clunky.

So it all boils down to what you're used to. I always feel claustrophobic when I use Windows. You're obviously the other way around.

I have never used Windows as my 'daily driver'. I went from MSDOS to UNIX Desktop in 1991, then from UNIX to Linux Desktop in 2001.

I consider Windows 7 to be 'peak Windows'. It's what I use in my virtualbox, and have done for probably about ten years. 'Second best Windows', IMO, is Windows XP. Since Windows 7 it's all been downhill for Windows.

I did suggest to the Microsofties around 2003 that they 'do an Apple' by taking Linux and using that as the main operating system (like Apple's MacOS being BSD under the hood) and slap the Windows Desktop on top of that, which would greatly reduce the workload on the Microsoft development team.

I for one would like a system where I could simply cast FHQWGADZ as a combination of tokens that each support my stance on complex matters.

It can be tiresome to have to repeat facts and opinions. It seems that grandparent has read a book, and found its contents convincing enough to share it here. A bit terse, but still relevant, no?
This was down voted, but it's all about the time scale. A major pathway of transporting energy from your food to your cells is via glucose in your blood and your cells then use or store it for later. Insulin production reduces the spike, but that response isn't instantaneous.

So on a second by second basis numbers that would be concerning across an hour are fine. Similarly your average over an hour post meal can be much higher than a healthy average across a day.
Appreciate the feedback.

We've had some customers request more detailed notes which we've enabled for them on the backend. We have plans to release more self-serve customization around verbosity as there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

Agree on linking notes to the transcript. Citing sources (from the transcript/recording) is something we're introducing to more surface areas in the product.

OCaml's object system is very nice, though. Structural typing with full inference is pretty awesome, and it also cleanly decouples subtyping from implementation inheritance.
So tearing down is cheaper than renovating? I'm not sure that's what you're saying but that's how I interpret it. Feels like an over-generalization to me.
> It would make sense that a tool like this would prioritize MacOS/Windows support above all else.

Yep, unfortunately I've not had the time to make it work well on those platforms. I got an initial demo working on MacOS but I'm currently facing the issue that I'm unable to statically compile QEMU on MacOS. I've also started writing a VirtualizationFramework[0] based backend.

> Why would QEMU even necessary? Docker runs fine on Windows.

When docker runs on Windows/MacOS it's actually running the containers in a Linux VM. Containers rely on features provided by the Linux kernel.

> Maybe it's to avoid requiring the user to install Docker?

The main reason to use dockerc is to avoid the user having to install Docker.

> Either way, asking the user to fiddle with Hyper-V settings is bad UX.

Yep I don't think that would be nice. I expect the experience to be transparent to the user.

How do you compare the pros/cons of having the summarization built into the call tool, like with Vowel, vs having more control but in separate tools?

tl;dr: Google has spent billions of dollars on quantum computing and still can't find a single case where it does better than a thousand-dollar laptop. If you can help Google justify its billions of spending then you can win a handful of millions.
Point still stands, it is clearly not as much of a big deal as people make it out to be. Especially in respect to that coworker
Epic doesn't want those users. It is not asking for any placement in the app store. It just wants it's own users who have iPhones to be able to access its software which it will funnel to them through their own channel. Apple contributes nothing to cultivate the gaming market overall. No marketing, no investment, no PR, no subsidation of the hardware etc. Apple simply gets in the way, making it harder, adding restrictions, invading Epic's customers privacy and then to add insult to injury takes a huge slice of the profits.
There is something to be said for endurance, and I admit that the new test will not test endurance as much. But I think most people don't think of the primary role of the SAT as an endurance test.

When I was in HS, we had IB tests that were much longer, and were seen as grueling tests of endurance. And after law school, I took the CA bar exam, which was at the time the only 3-day bar exam. It was (in)famous for endurance.

But do people think the SAT is measuring endurance? I don't, but perhaps others do.

One thing that won't change is any effect on pacing. The SAT previously had sections, and it will continue to have sections. You still have to pace yourself through each section. But there was never a way to pace yourself across sections, through the entire test. You had to wait until one section was done before starting the next.
I mean seriously, what good does microsoft actually do?

There is exactly one thing i found a pleasant surprise when i had to use microsoft windows: Trying to paste something and accidentally finding an easily manageable clipboard history turned on by default. I mean until today a big part of my day on other systems is undo/redo hoping not to accidentally pressing another key to screw up the history when going back to the future (not sure why i can't just use some clipboard manager, maybe the risk my workflow introduces gives me the thrill i need)... ehh back to topic: other than that, i have never seen anything from Microsoft where i don't think it's trash.

Even WSL which i thought was a good solution for people forced to work with MS crap by their companies, they somehow managed to make it worse with every unnecessary change. I only had to use a windows PC for a couple of months in the last 10-15 years, but it showed me: nothing missed. Still the same. MS is somehow still evil & bad software. No matter how much the leadership changes. It seems to be in their DNA.
well yeah, dense code is the whole argument. It means you don't have to know any library, because it's so dense you can just write the whole thing from basic elements. You never have to look up anything!*

seed investors might write off a $500k check if their model is to write 30 of them and carry the fund with a 100x-er (and many investors are not so cool with losing), but $32M is not that model. A recent comparable example is Pitch - https://twitter.com/unamashana/status/1745417095809307080
I wanted to point out that I think the HN community collectively believe that journalism as a whole is very important for society. But that only explains why this story has been upvoted.
Do you notice any other themes in the stories that you see being upvoted?

What other main themes do you see in the other upvoted stories that worry you.

Is it possible that there are fewer stories about the Hamas atrocities because there are fewer and there isn't much to discuss? I think they are unquestionably evil and should be imprisoned or killed. And that is an absolute belief that doesn't waver even if I also think Israel are doing a bad job of

I loved this essay when it came out but I've come to dislike how "leaky abstraction" has become a form of low effort criticism that gets applied to almost anything.
Unless you’re in tech or a few other sectors (eg: long tail exports such the company that manufactures transistors for Tesla, which is near here) the local job market is very bad. Particularly with new prices, in the wealthy areas it’s comparable to a city like Lisbon now.

If you have a remote job however, it’s a no brainer. For example, renting a 3 bedroom in a wealthy area (through the local route, not Airbnb) within a gated community that has a pool, a gym, etc = $1,000. A private maid/chef once per week = $80. Normal Uber ride = $4-$6. Meal for 2 in a very fancy restaurant = $50 - $75.

Makes SF prices feel insane.
How Do LLMs Answer Multiple-Choice Questions Without the Question?
>Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large.

This is not true and there are numerous counter-examples.

City streets have always been dangerous for pedestrians and notable illustrations of this are the separate gates at city entrances for vehicles (pulled by beasts of burden of course) and pedestrians and the construction of sidewalks and crosswalks one example of which I've seen in person is the civil engineering of Pompeii where pedestrians were segregated from road traffic over two thousand years ago. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pedestrian_crossing_...

Another example is the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris. Completed in the early 1600s it was built with wide sidewalks to keep pedestrians out of the road. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/P1140241...

Oldest photograph of London: https://londonist.com/london/art-and-photography/oldest-phot...

Amsterdam, 1891: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Old-Amsterdam_1891-stre...

What do you see? Sidewalks.

In various paintings and engravings of city scenes from the 1600s and 1700s a common theme emerges: every area that could afford them built sidewalks and pedestrians were segregated from road traffic. Raucous examples of people teeming in the streets in similar works seem to be trying to depict scenes of anarchy or poor slums.

Another is the fact that numerous Roman emperors banned carriages from city streets during daylight (both for safety and noise pollution reasons) with varying degrees of success. That was much easier when you had an army of slaves to carry goods into the city.

One glaring expression of the dangers of pre-automobile urban streets is the fact that in New York City fatalities due to horse-pedestrian collisions greatly surpass the rate of fatalities of automobile collisions. In both "Herald Square, 1896" and "A Trip Down Market Street, 1906" you can see pedestrians travelling with the road along sidewalks and crossing the road at any point. This indeed used to be common, before the invention of traffic signals and crosswalk and is the primary reason for the increase in fatality rates due to collisions.

The fatality rate for deaths due to horses in Chicago was seven times the present rate of pedestrian fatalities and in New York City is was double.

Herald Square: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRf5z75-GbU

Market Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q5Nur642BU

Children didn't play in city streets because it was a death sentence.

Pedestrians DID cross from sidewalk to sidewalk at any location because crosswalks didn't exist (in most places) yet.

Regardless of all of that, in positive news more and more cities all over the US and the world are pedestrianizing their streets. Not because "users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large" but because mixing pedestrians and ANY vehicle to include pre-automobile vehicles is dangerous and pedestrians should either stay out of the street or have it dedicated solely to their use.
I never understand how people will make the case that the other side is evil without showing that their side isn't also evil.

Yes, sure, Israel is committing war crimes. This whole thing started because Hamas attempted to commit textbook genocide and has 80% support along the West Bank population.

The US set half a million Japanese on fire for less. There is not a country in the world that wouldn't be doing what Israel is doing in Israels position.
In theory. But the DMCA is significantly skewed in favor of copyright holders (and senders of DMCA notifications on copyright holders' behalves). The only "penalty of perjury" part for senders is claiming to be the copyright holder or someone authorized by the copyright holder to send the takedown notice (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(vi)) [1]:

> (vi)A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

As for justifying the claim of infringement, the sender only needs to claim good faith (512(c)(3)(A)(v)) [1]:

> (v)A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

The person whose upload was taken down can file a counter notification, but must dispute the takedown under penalty of perjury (512(g)(3)(C)) [1]:

> (C)A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

In Lenz v. Universal Music Corp. (2015), the Ninth Circuit decided that the copyright holder (or at least the sender of the DMCA notification) must consider whether the user's uploaded material is fair use before filing the notice, but the user's burden to disprove the copyright holder's claim of good faith remains exactly the same as before the Lenz case. From the case text [2]:

> To be clear, if a copyright holder ignores or neglects our unequivocal holding that it must consider fair use before sending a takedown notification, it is liable for damages under § 512(f). If, however, a copyright holder forms a subjective good faith belief the allegedly infringing material does not constitute fair use, we are in no position to dispute the copyright holder's belief even if we would have reached the opposite conclusion.

Or as the Harvard Law Review put it [3]:

> In short, the fair use determination does not have to be correct or reasonable; it just has to have happened. The court in Rossi held that the jury therefore had to determine if Universal’s actions sufficiently approximated a fair use analysis (even if not labeled as such) on which it could have formed a subjective good faith belief regarding fair use.

You can buy the "co-founder" title. That's how Elon Musk is associated with Tesla.
> A huge number of the people in those cities wanted automobiles. That's why governments taxed people to pay for the roads for those cars.

What is the basis of that? Perhaps, having the option of roads; and being led, to a degree by leaders' belief in roads, they wanted cars. Seeing public transit and seeing leaders' belief it it, they might have used that.
I suppose it should be considered where the abstraction actually exists. If the abstraction exists in logic or mathematics (ie. a triangle is a 3 sided polygon) it probably doesn't make much sense to consider the ramifications that thought occurs in a physical brain that can fail. On the other hand if the abstraction is physical (ie, hardware), then the fact that it is bound by physical law is obviously implicit. Software encompasses both physical and logical abstractions, so you need to pick a lens or perspective in order to actually view its abstractions.
> An elevated civilian death count, including journalists is to be expected.

Is it???

It’s not. But it’s not grounds for lethal force. Audible warnings, warning shots and non-lethal rounds were the right moves.
Fortunately, both [1] and [3] refer to 2023/2024. I look forward to your response.

The book also covers up to 2006, I'm happy to post more examples once I've read that far. :)
I apologize for my tone, this is something i am passionate about.

Hamas has always been pretty open about their intent for genocide[1]. The ICJ had a specific case brought by a specific country on specific charges against Israel. The ICJ ruled against them.

Israel is in the middle of a bloody war in an urban environment filled with civilians. Of course Israel should follow the rules of war and try to limit civilian casualties, which is what the preventing acts of genocide was about.

I get your point, however I think there are a few confounding things. For a lot of people, if you get a positive result from a test that a doctor brushes off that's not going to go well. I'm very much in favor of more testing personally, there are almost certainly folks who're on SSRIs who'd benefit more from Vit D/Mg supplementation for example.

Another thing I seem to remember in his video was that a tumor is not necessarily dangerous. Out of a hundred (say) tumors in a person's life, only maybe 5 are risky. But I'm paraphrasing this badly.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kQk9-KLPfU is one of the videos, however I think he's talked about this more (likely on instagram or another video too).
Do you have specific criticisms? There are myriad and varied different use cases for a cache. I’ve used Postgres in a pinch. It’s fine, for certain things. I’ve used a lot of other caches as well that would be highly inappropriate for the situations I’ve used Postgres in.

In my experience there are far more highly-overwrought bloated architectures deployed than there are overly-clever minimalist ones. Everyone wants to put the cool tools on their resume.

When you do something because the people who resent it don't have recourse or can't defend themselves, that's abuse and predatory behavior, which is pretty sick, yet consistent with the sort of people who accuse others of racism.

It's not about race, it's about numbers, and whether they are residents or part of the communities whose space they occupy because they don't see consequences here, whereas there are consequences for them in their own communities where people know them.
Akshully it’s you who need to read up on first thing about the history of the invasion of cities by the automobile. Complete, total regulatory capture of the government by the automobile and oil industry, purchase of transit only to rip it to shreds etc etc.

The funny thing is, traffic in general and life for ardent motorists in particular would be better the better alternatives to driving are. Instead, they shoot themselves in the foot by shutting down anything other than adding more and more traffic, making things worse and worse for themselves.
Ahh, that's a fantastic callout. I've experimented with low temperature so far but never zero temperature. Makes sense, and I think this is definitely a technique I'll use in the future.

Thank you for the legendary work on Redis by the way! It's been an invaluable part of multiple large production systems I've built and is such a well-built tool. I'm hoping from your interest in this topic (and some of the blog posts you've written about it) that some part of the roadmap for Redis might help power LLM workloads in the future.
This is no news. I forgot the other programs but i remember that this practice was more or less common 1-2 decades ago. But today, who would still need something like filezilla anyway?
This is kind of an important point with Manifest V3: having more permission options is a good thing. It's good that declarativeNetRequest exists. Active Tab permissions are cool, I love being able to scope extensions to specific domains. Non-persistent background pages are a nice performance/security feature. The only problem with Manifest V3 is that Google is shutting down everything else and removing other APIs.

Safari's extension model kind of goes in its own direction, but it's based on similar principles to Manifest V3 and my contention with it is the same -- it's not a problem that you can build a permission-less adblocker in Safari, that's good. It's a problem that you have to, because getting rid of those permissions makes adblockers slightly less effective, which may or may not be worth it for every user. I can say with relative certainty that there is no adblocker on Safari that is as powerful as uBlock Origin on Firefox.

People bundle criticism of Chrome under the Manifest V3 label but aside from some more techy-type complaints around how Service Workers are being handled, in my experience at least a lot of Manifest V3 is really good. What's not good is that Chrome used Manifest V3 as an opportunity to get rid of a lot of other important APIs. So you don't see the same criticism levied at Mozilla because with Firefox you get most of the same benefits of Manifest V3 (and some additional benefits, Firefox's event-system is imo a better way to handle temporary background pages than Chrome's service-worker system) without the downsides of Chrome removing blocking web requests for the extensions that need them.

I'm using Manifest V3 for private extensions that I maintain for myself on Firefox. Manifest V3 is great and I enjoy trying to cut down my permissions as much as I can even though I'm basically just running the code myself. But none of my private extensions would work in Chrome or Safari or would be portable to either browser; they lack the APIs that I need and don't have any realistic equivalents.
Yes, I’m referring to @foo, which IIRC maybe in the VERY old days had a GC but from when I got involved in 2012 was reference counting, iirc.

Regardless of the specifics here, the same problems apply. Namely that it privileges specific implementations, and makes allocation part of the language.

The word has been diminished by deranged activists in the US, but in international law it is clearly defined.

The problem Israel has is it has either satisfied all of the criterion for a genocide, or it has satisfied all of the criterion for being apartheid state. There is no inbetween or alternative at this point, so which is it.

You can pick both if you like because it is both.
