Ask HN: Can the following algorithm (written in Elixir) have applications in ML?
The algorithm I programmed is basically a "shortest path from source to sink through layers" algorithm. I originally coded it in LFE, but Elixir has a Parallel Stream library I was able to leverage.

I know that Machine Learning uses neural layers in its training methods, so does this algorithm potentially have uses in ML? Thanks!

yeah, the lpc-10 voice codec i mentioned uses the same linear predictive coding approach the chip in the speak & spell used; it requires about 10 multiplications per output sample, which is about 80000 per second, which may be challenging on an attiny2313 or attiny45 where you have to do the multiplications with repeated shifts and adds, but i think ought to be doable on the atmega328
That syntax would impact the entire query, meaning you couldn't have it only fuzzy match a portion if the search term.

A global flag seems reasonable if enough people would want it, though that is dependent on users being authenticated with preferences stored on the server.
Just wait until they start shipping with LTE chips to bypass the local WiFi requirements. Or even just use local unsecured networks.
It looks great. Postman always loses me because I usually only need simple requests and I have to go through a big structure. As a result, it only ever edits one request over and over again, which I have configured correctly.

The key thing about Postman is that I was able to configure my own script to refresh the API token. For the internal API, we have a short-lived "access_token" token (~1 minute) and then a long-lived "refresh_token" (~1 day) based on the user's email address and password. When renewing the token, you receive information about its lifespan. You cannot create a new scratch token every time because you will be rate limited. I put all that logic in Postman hook script.

Making these HTTP requests in Curl – due to token refreshing – is painful.

Will Bruno support this use case?

Those boundaries aren't necessarily rational either.

But not only does your post code not reference your political boundaries. Your postal city may not be a political city, or may not match your political city. I've lived in several places where I needed to write the city that the post office serving my house was in, if I wanted to receive mail. It's really more of the name of the post office, there are plenty of post offices in unincorporated county land, which doesn't belong to any city.

Have you found any specific niches that scratch an itch with your tool?
That would be very useful but I don't think the current style of school practice is doing it. "Sustaining interest" is missing. Both the textbook or class are abstract (they have enough trouble describing a math concept and don't spend much or any time showing where that concept is headed for example - what it will later be useful for). And the exercises are narrow: they make no reference to real world problems. Granted that created exercises grounded in real world problems is far more time consuming than isolated questions. Would still be more useful.
You're describing the same tool with a much worse UI of recreating the tool yourself (by everyone). There is much value in avoiding that, hence people use integrated tools even with the risks of lock in

So in practice using a parameter could be surprisingly very expensive? Are you supposed to thunk all your parameters before grabbing a resource?

It seems like it would end up quite cumbersome. C# has object properties that can be values or functions. Etiquette dictates you don't query a database in an object property but I've seen it happen. I'm not even sure what the etiquette here would be. The entire point is to lazily evaluate slow things, right?

But I guess its all just for IRs and the idea is a compiler is handling it all anyway?

Could she have been confused by “Shift Using the Center Console” and by “Auto Shift out of Park”?

She perhaps intended to tap Reverse on the center console but accidentally tapped Park because it is next to it. With Auto Shift Out of Park, the Tesla selects drive or reverse. That is she may have thought she tapped Reverse but the car ended up in drive mode. I can see myself doing this when I am drunk, driving around in my private ranch.

I wonder how this relates to Erik Verlinde’s entropic gravity?

https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02269

It seems like this theory is proposing some entropic term on top of classical general relativity whereas Verlinde came up with a completely entropic theory of gravity. They both claim to explain dark matter.
No training in what?

Also note that she mentioned „no formal training“. And she is a digital artist and knew how to code.
My point is actually that the problem space itself isn't solvable, not that someone other than Google will solve it.

Google never solved how to win the game against SEO, and in recent years it seems they've either effectively lost or given up on it entirely. Generative tools make that much worse.

Comparing content based on LLM summaries wouldn't really do the trick. For one thing, the LLM itself is a black box so we don't know how it works and could never measure or predict the accuracy or reliability. For another, when two pieces of content have a matching summary the only tie breaker would be publication date (or first seen date in the case of Google). That really doesn't definitively answer the question of which was LLM generated, and won't help at all for content that is originally generated by an LLM and won't match any known content.

There's simply no way for an algorithm to accurately recognize computer generated content when the generation tools are good enough to mimic human content.

The unknown length isn't much of a problem for me in practice: GPT's are slow enough that getting a large chunk is almost impossible. I like the idea of the C filter, but in the end you're just piping the data to the program, why add the middle step? Is it to protect against too-large chunks in some way?

I don't know a public API that returns JSON slowly, but you could simulate it by just taking a JSON string, splitting it into 3-5 char chunks, and sending each of those in a `Transfer-Encoding: Chunked` response at ~100ms intervals.

Actually, now that I look at the underlying mechanism behind `Transfer-Encoding: Chunked`, it looks like it's already basically the same as the netstrings. What I'm referring to is the (variable length) contents of the netstring/chunk being sequential slices of a JSON object.

Now I wonder whether a rhythm-based writing system could have been developed ahead of pictographic and alphabetic writing if preliterate people had had a telegraph. They might have started off developing rhythm conventions based on particular songs, or something.

I guess signal drums predate writing in many places and successfully use rhythm to convey information over long distances. I'm not sure whether any that don't encode writing have a writing-like ability to represent arbitrary messages rather than just prearranged ones.

Flordia: Cops shut down Joyce Manor set, fans detained for moshing
It seems to me that this can be achieved by the following bash-native way of creating extra file descriptor pipes:

pipe_path="$(mktemp -u)"
mkfifo "$pipe_path"
exec 3<>"$pipe_path"
rm -f "$pipe_path"

Here, exec associates the file descriptor (3 here, replace with any desired descriptor) with the pipe created by mkfifo. The filesystem path to the pipe is removed immediately after we obtain a file descriptor to it, so that the the only remaining reference to the pipe in the system would be from this script, and thus when the script dies, the kernel will automatically free the pipe.

An example use case would be like so: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/216475/585293

The "Lite API" mode of current Postman is actually decent, it's the only GUI client I know that supports streaming responses, but you have to use `Content-Type: text/event-stream`.

I prefer it to the Insomnia mutable fixed length saved query implementation for "hacking around" with many different APIs.

This is great news and hopefully with time there will be a definitive cure. I found out about CF when we did genetic testing for family planning. It turned out me and my spouse were carriers of the gene. They said about 25% chance that the embryo would have CF, and since I soon learnt it is a terrible disease I did not want to risk bringing a child in this world with CF.

We did IVF instead and to my surprise, 60% of viable embryos had CF, which I thought was unusually high compared to what I had been told prior to the procedure.

We were very fortunate that we did the testing and had successful IVF pregnancies, but so many other families aren't so lucky. I hope advancements in CF treatment will make it a non-issue for parents in the near future.

If you were operating in a barter economy, as you seem to wish for, the value of your labor would not be guaranteed to have stable value either, and would likely be far more volatile (especially depending on what the product of your labor is... you think farmers can demand their product not decay in value over time?). You just wouldn't have a convenient boogeyman to complain about, but I guess that's better to you?

We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping

> I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts.

Bruno has come a long way, we support pre-request scripts and a lot more

> But can it handle oauth2? I had to write a httpie script recently just to test an oauth2 api.

We have released oauth2 support, some rough edges are being polished

> Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.

I understand this is a hard problem. We are fully bootstrapped and independent. We earn money via selling the Golden Edition. We will build more developer products in the long term, and the goal is to make even the golden edition features also open source in the future. I am committed to this cause.

> History goes in circles. New API client appears, adds features, userbase grows. Forced login is added, users are angry and look for alternative. New API client appears.

I have felt this pain. That's one of the reasons why I denied VC funding and chose to remain independent. Having seen 10 years of this cycle, its enough. We don't want to repeat the same saga.
