I really don’t get this. The only reason anyone ever had to run gitea instead of gitlab or GitHub was that it was a more bare bones but open source alternative. Now they are dropping the open source part and stepping into the arena of competing on enterprise features against gitlab and GitHub? Why would anyone ever chose gitea over them?
We don't take ourselves too seriously, and we probably won't for a while. I'm still the sole developer on the project (outside of few code contributions here and there). We are fully self-funded at the moment, and we have no plans to raise - if we're grifting, then we're doing a very bad job at it :)

It's okay that you don't take this project seriously - no one took the early internet seriously either, and not everything has to be like that.
Again I would use the Photoshop analogy. It's hard to suggest anything in particular. And I'm specifically discussing what Claude 3, the most powerful model available, can do, and it's more than StackOverflow answering.

Ummm.., yes? I don’t know how to respond because I agree with all of this (I think). It’s not inconsistent to say that raising high-contribution children is a massive cost to parents and an even greater benefit to society.

And just enough of them have been ‘tricked’ by religion or culture or noblesse oblige, etc. to keep post-agrarian civilization going.

But also there is a huge number of people that have children that are poorly prepared for net-positive contribution, and they receive almost all of the structural incentives allotted to parents.

There are actually structural disincentives to intensive parenting, like triple-taxation levied on parents that hire professional childcare. It would be easy to make this fully-deductible, but, like I said, the people at the top don’t like competition. Also consider that Social Security is just generational transfer payment, so it might make sense to pay some portion of taxes up the family tree, as well as deducting for any social burden like welfare and imprisonment. You do well, you get rewarded, you screw up, you pay, and there’s a big element of chance, just like anything in real life.

But I really would like to know, do you want less total number of children in the world, or do you want more childless leisure-class adults, or are you genuinely trying to warn people that their lives will get a lot harder with children?

It seems to me that you’re not wrong in the small sense, but in the grand scheme, we still need those hero parents out there.

For all that Bourbaki has been highly influential (and equally contentious) in maths, I don't actually know anyone who owns a copy of "Éléments". Is that just because I'm not French and it's actually huge among French mathematicians or perhaps because I'm just not "there" yet in my study of maths, having not got on to analysis in particular?

Obviously some ex-members of the group (Grothendieck and Serge Lang in particular) have published books that are more widely read.
How would I capitalize on this?

Is there any specific language or framework I could learn to stay competitive?
>I don’t know anyone who is recommending against flakes these days. The “experimental” label is more about the API stability than completeness, bugginess, or anything else.

"Experimental" traditionally means "if you use it and it breaks, then that's your fault". This is because if <experimental thing> did break, the entire internet would dogpile on any complainers with "IT WAS LABELLED EXPERIMENTAL WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING."

It's the same as ignoring Kickstarter warnings; if a project gives you a warning then tell you to ignore that same warning, don't; if things go to shit then everyone will say "YOU WERE WARNED WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING." They cannot un-warn you, that's not how this social situation works. I'm not claiming this is fair, I'm just claiming this is how it plays out in practice.

The only safe response to this is to assume that anything labelled "experimental" is exactly what it says. And to be clear, that means the only safe response is to ignore any claims that the thing labelled "experimental" is safe.

Or to put it another way: if you don't mean it's experimental and do recommend it to the average user, then don't use the term "experimental".
> Ageism isn’t an inevitability, it’s a choice.

No you see, that's precisely the problem. Going bad because of your age is a choice. Being descriminated against because of your age, which is what ageism is, is not a choice.
This applies to emails as well. The other day my team ran into an issue late at night, with an impending launch the next day. One teammate handed the issue off to me at 2 AM her time and I needed to figure out how the team should proceed the next morning (before I would be awake).

I just started writing an email with our goals, what the obvious options were, how the options mapped onto the goals, what other contingencies might arise, etc. Through the course of writing the email it became pretty clear what the best option was, and what the fallback option would be in the likeliest contingencies.

As I was describing the situation to my kid the next day, I told her that sometimes when we write things down in emails or letters, it's just as much for distilling our own thoughts as it is about communicating with others.
Why you don't seem to understand how it works in any other industry?

I'm building a house, I'm going to buy the floor at shop B and the walls at shop A because it's a better value.

I want to buy some groceries, I can buy bread at shop A and eggs at shop B.

When you're on mobile you buy everything either at the play store or the appstore depending on your phone, that's it, zero choice, it's either everything in one or the other.

So first a grand total of two stores for the entire world isn't going cut it regardless and then those stores don't even compete with each other anyways because you are locked in to just one with your phone.

Is that any clearer now why it's not a market or still not?
I don't see how federation can help with that.

At worst it's going to have hundreds of conflicting versions of a document, where each federated node disagree on which is the current master of the document, because each node is fighting for their bias, or it's going to be Wikipedia, where there is one promoted version of the document with whatever bias.

Ask HN: Are you getting more hesitant to share and being open online?
People used to avoid certain corporations due to concerns about their data policy but it seems we're past that. With advancement in fields like data mining, the rise of LLMs and computing power, any data you share online is now being scrapped, hoarded and abused by everyone, it's a free-for-all. No regard to privacy, ethical concerns, or even the license it was published under.

Do you feel less open about participating on public forums, publishing personal blog posts, or even contributing to open source? (I'm aware of the irony of asking the question here)
Show HN: DARC, Decentralized Autonomous Regulated Corporation
Hey HNs,

I am lidangzzz, a core developer and contributor to Project DARC. In simple terms, we have designed two components:

1. DARC is a company virtual machine that can be compiled and deployed on any EVM-compatible blockchain. It includes a set of opcodes and a plugin system. The opcodes correspond to the daily operations and activities of a company, including handling equity (tokens), cash, and designing and operating plugins. Plugins in DARC represent the company's bylaws, contracts, articles, or rules. Each plugin can approve or reject specific situations. Therefore, a DARC with a complete plugin system functions like a conventional shareholder company. Adding, enabling, or disabling plugins also requires adherence to existing plugins and rules. Additionally, DARC supports an infinite hierarchy of tokens. Different tokens are restricted based on voting weight, dividend weight, and different plugins, facilitating the creation of various assets such as Class A/B stocks, bonds, boards of directors, committees, executives, common stocks, preferred stocks, commodities, NFTs, and more.

2. By-law Script is the world's first programming language used to describe and execute laws. Users can operate DARC by writing By-law Scripts or design and deploy plugins. By-law Script features sweet syntax like operator overloading, allowing users to quickly draft various laws for DARC, such as anti-dilution of equity, Bet-on agreements, employee RSUs, employee salaries, employee options, bonds, boards of directors, independent directors, dividends, procurement, subscriptions, and other rules.

In summary, our goal is to completely abstract traditional legally registered corporate entities from government oversight. In a world with only blockchain and smart contracts, we aim to abstract the legal system entirely into the DARC virtual machine deployed on the blockchain. We use the plugin system to fully express the consensus and constraints of major shareholders, investors, founders, executives, employees, and customers, transferring the entire operation, legal framework, and consensus of the company to the blockchain. This realization enables the creation of anarchist blockchain business entities to create value and provide services.

We are open-source enthusiasts, believing in the power of open source to guide the improvement and security of the DARC project. We have already completed the basic architecture and whitepaper of DARC, but there is still much work to be done. We will release our mainnet and testnet at the appropriate time, allowing developers to test and explore the design and operation of anarchist business entities.

Unfortunately I think the bump to WFH during the pandemic just further underlined this. A lot of tech people moved places away from where they work, or took distant remote jobs, only to suddenly have their employer demanded (some) physical presence.

If a significant amount of jobs truly were completely remote, those people could disseminate away from the big population centers and alleviate housing shortages, but that can't happen because full remote is fairly rare and can evaporate with an abruptness that isn't suitable to build big decisions like mortgages on. If you lose your job and your mortgage is tied to a place with a lot of work, you're probably okay. If it's tied to the sticks, you might find yourself trapped.

So everyone stays in Sunnyvale.
My Chinese knowledge is limited, but I believe that words in Chinese would not be affected by accent in the same way. This is because even though, for example, in the Taiwanese accent sh is pronounced like s, "shi" and "si" are still "spelt" differently and consistently when using a phonetic writing system like pinyin or zhuyin. There are still individual words that are pronounced differently in different regions, but that's not related to accent.

Now imagine a constraint written in management legales. "The system has to always augment flight characteristics to avoid system envelope violations. Should the pilot choose to deactivate the system temporarily, the system must return to enhanced flight characteristics as soon as the pilot stops signaling the intent to fly without the system. "

I don't think it is same as PVI, because i) there are a lot of possible non-determinisms still allowed and thus to be exploited, and ii) the specification will have to require only the observational equivalence anyway because every optimization will be invalid otherwise. It should be definitely possible to define a very precise machine without actually mandating PVI.
> how can you not have contacts sprinkled around in your industry who can give you a leg up on the job-finding process?

I can answer that because I see that situation coming. I just can't be bothered talking to people if I can avoid it. At this moment I have one manager who manages I think 3 people. He gives me problems to solve. I don't talk to anyone else in a company that hires 300+ people. When I leave I won't have any contacts sprinkled around, just my manager. That's how.
The submitted title ("OpenAI CTO Doesn't Know What Data Was Used to Train Sora") broke HN's guideline about titles: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." (Assuming that the youtube title didn't change, of course.)

This thread is a good example of how damaging that can be because threads are so sensitive to initial conditions. The comments are basically all responding to the editorialized title, and most are just angry reflexive responses. It's not possible to salvage a thread once it's gotten going like this. Maybe there are interesting things in the video, maybe not, but if there are, it's too late for them to get discussed here.
It sounds to me like some sort of grand conspiracy to somehow plant connected Albanians in hard-to-get-to places.

It's better to be clear with your allegations. You can't just paint someone bad because they were born in a corrupt country and had to play the game before departing for greener pastures. Let's be frank...Murati would hardly have done much in Albania anyway.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati) - Throughout her school years, she participated in many Olympiads and math competitions. That was likely how she got a foreign scholarship.
> none was THAT lucky

I understand that we humans have natural instincts to uncover plots because as a social animal we have been primed to develop such a skill.

We have also been primed to recognize faces but that can lead us to see them even when there are no faces (e.g. the sphinx on Mars).

We're very bad at intuitively grasping low probability events and large numbers.

I personally know lots of people who have played the lottery but I never met somebody who was THAT lucky to win a jackpot.

Yet those people exist. We understand how the lottery works. It happens regularly enough and transparently enough so it no longer tickles our "corruption/plot/conspiracy" instincts. But if lotteries were never invented and we had one run today and somebody won, I'm pretty sure the default assumption for most people would be to be suspicious about who that person was, why they won, was it a setup etc etc

Unless you have a specific allegation please refrain from insinuating wrong doing just because she came from a corrupted country and was successful.
I remember about 15 years ago I found myself feeling weird because I wanted everything dark, and the consensus was that everything should be kept light. Sometime in the period 2010-2020 that swung around in the other direction. I don't remember exactly when, but I remember being surprised when more darkmode started coming into UI, in contradiction to the expectations I saw set earlier.

Don't sweat it. You do you. There are fashions, but there are also middle fingers ;)
Did you look at https://docs.ops.city/ops/examples yet?
Yes I do but for a mixture of reasons, as in not just the ones you outlined but some of these, and also others: taking a position online invites critique which can be unwelcome, and due to the difficulties amending the record if e.g. you change your mind, irretrievably remain bound to your online persona.

Almost a decade ago I made comments to political players I now regret. They were unkind. Their politics are shit and riddled with religious overtones but the comments I made were personal and objectifying.

I don't want to be associated with those remarks, and in a pre internet world people got to be forgotten for their mistakes and mispeaks. Now it's far harder.
I understand much of the concerns for what you're saying here, and I do understand that there are obviously some people who might be turned off by the branding. That is okay; we don't need to reach out to everyone yet, we do not want to take on a branding that offends no one, but appears soulless (like Alegria art).

I do understand the issue for gender equality as well, and as we have a diverse group of individuals who are involved at various parts of the project (they are mostly weebs as well and have no issues with the branding), and I'll make sure that our future branding will have cute anime boys as well ^^

In the future, I'll provide an enterprise version with the anime branding disabled and replaceable by your custom branding. in the meanwhile, if you have suggestions on what parts might be sexualized and might be offensive, please let me know!

As I understand it, the Bourbaki school was basically obsessed with the idea of making maths rigorous to the point where their published work is extremely difficult to understand and you basically already have to know the subject to read the stuff. Other people, Arnold in particular, felt that it was important to learning to gain a more intuitive understanding even if that meant sacrificing some rigour along the way, and that once you got there you could go back and sort of fill in the blanks.

That's why that wiki page says

Arnold was an outspoken critic of the trend towards high levels of abstraction in mathematics during the middle of the last century. He had very strong opinions on how this approach—which was most popularly implemented by the Bourbaki school in France—initially had a negative impact on French mathematical education, and then later on that of other countries as well.

So a pastiche of the Bourbaki type criticism of Arnold's works would be that they are elegant but skip over some of the foundational steps that are necessary to be fully rigourous and the equivalent critique of Bourbaki is that their stuff is dry, tedious and impossible to understand which just puts people off the subject entirely rather than teaching them.

The difference has not been "provided by me", the discussion around Lisp family vs. dialects goes on for several decades. We had the same discussions on comp.lang.lisp decades ago, while Scheme users then had their own comp.lang.scheme .

Lisp dialect? Sure, long ago. Now Scheme is its own language. It's like the uncle who now no longer lives in Germany and speaks no longer German, but lives in England where they speak a Germanic Language, called English, which again has its own dialects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages English has its roots in old Common Germanic (no joke, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Germanic_language). Here we have the difference between Germanic and German. It's basically the same between the Lisp family ("Lispic") and Lisp.

There are many other places where authors in the Scheme literature have emphasized the difference between (original) Lisp and Scheme. They tell for example how things are done in Scheme vs. Lisp.

The SICP foreword says "Lisp changes. The Scheme dialect used in this text has evolved from the original Lisp and differs from the latter in several important ways, including static scoping for variable binding and permitting functions to yield functions as values."

If there are enough of these changes then Scheme begins to be its own language family.

Kent Pitman once has explained this: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.lisp/c/TEk4O4-zsA8/m/H...

Typical user question: "should I learn Lisp or Scheme?", answer from Kent: "learn both".

then he explains:

"Others divide up this space differently than I, but for most purposes, I personally regard them as distinct langauges, not mere dialectal variations, although plainly they are from what I would call the same
language family."

That's my view also.

The difference once has been described like this:

Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious."

Lispnik: "Buddha is big, has hairy armpits, and laughs."

interesting speculation. I was also very impressed to see her as CTO and I was thinking "my god she must be very smart, good at expressing ideas etc." because she's the CTO, so I was excited to see interviews of her. But I thought the interviews were horrible and I was wondering how she ended up in that position. Still possible that she's just bad in interviews though
As a junior having only started two years ago, I am worried. I am very behind on what I need to know to be valuable beyond creating CRUD apps.
