I don't have anything to contribute to the theory, but an anecdote: for a couple weeks last month in NYC, seemingly every street tout had sealed boxes of Apple AirPods sitting on their blankets, next to their fake bags, watches, etc. Other guys were specializing in the trade, standing on street corners holding 2-3 boxes of AirPods, but nothing else.

These appeared to be legit products, but obviously stolen. Where did these come from? Why weren't the sellers arrested on sight? Is it that hard to know that Apple hasn't authorized the corner blanket guy as a reseller? Is possession of stolen goods no longer a crime?

I was low-key hoping that the police had some kind of sting running to get the source of the theft, but...who knows?

So many questions.
It is a bit funny that if you apply for a job with many of these companies they ask they you do not use AI for the application.
Looks like Nebula uses go-libp2p and all of the supported networks listed in the README use libp2p for their p2p networking. Mainline DHT doesn't support the same transport protocols that libp2p supports (such ash TCP+Yamux+Noise) which is probably why Nebula doesn't support Bittorrent

Not sure how much this is still true, but as I recall, GNOME used to have a 'start' launcher like Windows, and removed it because of a lawsuit (gates/ballmer era Microsoft). That was the big motivation for gnome 2 to 3, and also why canonical split off unity for a while

Interestingly Google itself has followed this model with Waymo. Employees got Waymo stock not Google, and there was even speculation that Google took on outside investors.

An AI-Designed Drug Is Moving Toward Approval at an Impressive Clip
You make it sound like both of these changes have to be entirely separately reviewed, but most of the code review processes I have seen--including mailing lists--have the ability to merge in a sequence of patches in a single go, rather than having to review each one by one.

Otherwise, if the problem is that you have patches waiting to be merged for weeks that result in merge conflicts, that isn't solved by putting the patches together into a single patch: you just have a process that is going to make formatting changes impossible to clear without tons of extra work.

As for submitters, they need not put in this time: the maintainer or review team can trivially split the patch as this is literally close to hunk selection... it is so easy that I routinely do this as part of every single commit I have made even locally and even temporarily for as long as I can remember?

Regardless, I still don't understand: nothing you are saying makes it sound like the people in your scenario are actively making code changes to avoid having to make a formatting change--"a tactic to continually change code to get away from having a formatting change come in--which is what was claimed and what seemed so utterly confusing... I can't imagine someone saying "I'm going to change this logic few days as I hate formatting patches".
Same question but for MacOS. There don't seem to be many good ones for it.
Agreed. They have equal right to resources and they are just exercising their rights. By denying snatchers or thieves of iPhones etc one is excluding them from modern information economy.
> People who don't understand market pricing are against rent taxes because they think landlords can pass them through.

If all rents are taxed, what is the market mechanism to avoid pass though?

It seems as if a more fair approach would be to increase tax rates on income from rents. That way a rentier would not defer maintenance, the costs of which would be deducted from income and not taxed, as opposed to front-loading the tax to the rent transaction and thus encouraging deferred maintenance to preserve income.
I don't. Could you explain what you mean?

Here's what I found: the formula given in the article is "calories burned = BMR x METs/24 x hour"

But the METs for lying quietly is 1. The author certainly forgot to subtract 1 from METs in that equation, and could easily have also forgotten to do so when calculating the given numbers.

Whatever compiled language, even with my C related rants, I am happier with C written XFCE extensions than the GNOME JavaScript ones.

The separate process is an interesting point, back in the day dynamically loading code into the host process was the way to go, due to hardware resources and how demanding would be to use UNIX IPC for everything.

Now a couple of years later, with the existing hardware resources, and the ongoing stability and security issues of loading code into process, turns out separate process is a good idea after all.
What implicit gestures? Everything in the Gnome desktop you can get to by clicking the "Activities" menu at the top-left: search bar, dock, applications button, minimized windows, and 2nd desktop all then become visible.

Granted, the applications button icon is quite nondescript (9 dots). But it's still just 2 clicks of prominent UI elements away.

Same # of clicks as Windows (Start -> Program Files) and MacOS (Finder -> Applications).

> Dividing the world into "Pagan countries" and "Christian countries" is both inaccurate

That's not what the post said. Just that, before Islam was even a thing, those countries that Jews lived in which these days are considered "Muslim countries" were broadly "pagan" and/or "christian", depending on time and location.

As for your assertion of no christian countries thousands of years ago, where you state yourself "Armenia converting about 1715-ish years ago": That's thousands of years (as in: more than 1000)

As a (former) ChatGPT plugins developer, our business has absolutely tanked due to GPTs. Discoverability is nonexistent because search is just buried by spam. At least with plugins, there were only a few hundred to sort through, and most had some unique API they would plug into.

In my experience (as a long-time Vim and Vimium user), the keyboard shortcut support in Todoist was not good enough. It does cover most areas of the product, but I remember it not _feeling_ great. As if it was built first for mouse-use, with keyboard shortcuts added to it.

I tested Godspeed for 10-15 minutes, and I'm very impressed by what they built. There's a massive difference in how it feels to me.

Beyond that, I can't tell yet. Todoist certainly has an advantage in depth of the product, but for the keyboard-driven approach only, Godspeed is top notch.
>Say we have an experiment which puts an object with non-negligible stress-energy into a superposition of being in two different positions (for example, we make its position depend on the outcome of a spin measurement on a qubit). QM would say that spacetime would then need to also be in a superposition of two different geometries.

The energy to move the object into a given position is an additional element here unaccounted for in your model. 2 different positions to move object into - 2 different energies (more specifically 2 different changes to the starting, before the experiment, stress energy distribution of the Universe). When corresponding moving energies (ie. their GR effects) are accounted for in those 2 cases it may as well be that those 2 cases are indistinguishable from the GR point of view, ie. those 2 supposedly different spacetime geometries happen to be the same. The superposition of 2 indistinguishable cases - it doesn't really matter is it superposition or not.

> Super, type 2 or 3 letters of the program I want, enter. Works really well for me.

I don't use GNOME and can't speak for softirq, but what you're describing sounds to me like a command line interface. I can imagine two problems with it:

- Ergonomics. People who usually keep a hand on the mouse would have to move to the keyboard whenever they launch an app, and then move back again. Not a showstopper, but definitely a time waster. (And perhaps just as annoying to some people as it is to me when no keyboard shortcuts are available for common actions.)

- Discoverability. If someone knows what they want to do but doesn't know (or forgot) the names of the apps that can do it, they're left to type in guesses until they find something that works out. Also, if they just want to browse the apps that came preinstalled on their system, an application launcher provides, while a command line interface does not.
> Apple hasn't authorized the corner blanket guy as a reseller

They are like Apple store geniuses in a more federated architecture.
The product does not appear to be a record-replay debugging product, it appears to be a precise fault injection test generation product.

In a record-replay debugging product, you want to reproduce the execution of your system to translate what occurred in reality into the debugging lab.

In this product, the goal appears to be creating a deterministic environment so that you can precisely inject non-determinism/faults to probe the response of your product to the environment.

The former is about analyzing bugs your test found, the latter is about creating tests to produce bugs. In that context, your question is unrelated to the product. It does not seek to reproduce flaky tests, it seeks to help invent new and exciting flaky tests.
I was talking about renting!

There are some boutique hosts like Hot Aisle serving MI300s (who I really should reach out to), but for the immediate future our little startup is stuck with the big cloud providers. No MI300s for us mere mortals, not even to rent.

No it's not, for several reasons:

1. Average users primarily use mouse based workflows.

2. Super isn't discoverable.

3. It confused users coming from other DEs.

4. It actually takes more keypresses than clicking a favorited app on a dock that is always available.

Overall it's less discoverable, less efficient, and not baked into the mind of computer users who are coming from almost any other bistro.

one is that Chinese "city" boundaries also generally include a lot of rural land, mountains, etc. Chongqing is the size of Austria.

The other is that while the buildings are certainly tall, China also does a lot of "tower-in-the-park" style development where the plazas and landscaping in between tall buildings decrease overall density.
I was under the understanding that HIV attacks only immune cells, white blood cell, only. All the issues that eventually kill are due to the body not being able to defend itself. So it seems like a cure would be very much similar to a sickle cell cure. Is that not the case?
Show HN: Dealing with Claude 3 XML function calling so you don't have to
Hi all, our open-source Python library for fast, quality development with LLMs has added support for using Anthropic’s Claude 3 models and its XML function calling capabilities, including nested schemas and def/ref resolution.

Example: https://github.com/Mirascope/mirascope/blob/main/examples/extracting_tasks_with_claude_haiku.py

Repo: https://github.com/Mirascope/mirascope

In the example we create a `TaskExtractor` class that can extract a fairly complex, nested `TaskDetails` schema. Haiku does a fantastic job extracting the schema, correctly extracting everything from the task description to due dates to related tasks and metadata.

To our knowledge, Mirascope is the first open-source library to support this level of nested schema definition and automatic data extraction with Claude 3. We'd love to hear feedback - have you seen similar capabilities in other libraries? What other use cases do you think this unlocks, especially with the 200K token context limit?

We're excited to keep expanding Mirascope's functionality, with streaming tools (function calls) next on the roadmap. Check out the library on GitHub and let us know what you think!

I’m always delighted when I visit HN and see one of your blog posts on the front page; they posts are great and they elicit some of the most interesting HN discussions. It took me a little while to realize that all these good posts were on the same blog, but once I did I had a lovely time browsing through the archive and reading more of the “deep cuts.”

The posts about the System/360 consoles come to mind, for example. I’m not sure how “popular” those were(?), but they’ve been very helpful as references for an art project I’m working on!

Show HN: Automated Software Documentation for GitHub Codebases
Hey Hackers, My team and I have been working on an automated software documentation and impact analysis platform for the last 3 years.

Our long-term goal is to enter safety/mission-critical applications, where improper documentation can lead to disastrous outcomes, e.g., costly reworks/overruns or endangering human lives. But, in an effort to recognize revenue in the near term with our existing functionality, we have found initial traction with use cases focused on reverse engineering legacy systems. Where getting up to speed with an existing system requires a team of engineers to manually review large amounts of code, taking weeks or months to come to grips with.

______________________________________________

Our Self-Service release is a no-frills offering to leverage a subset of our document generation capabilities.

Using only the code, SAFA is able to:
-Summarize Code Files
-Generate an overall project summary
-Generate Upstream Documentation, like Features and Functional Requirements
-Map relationships between all code and generated documentation with explanations

Our approach leverages our own LLM pipeline, which applies a variety of clustering/refinement techniques, embedding models, and LLMs to keep your entire system within context when generating documentation, change summaries, api flow, and more. We do not use customer data to train or refine our models.

We currently only support Github integrations for self-service but will implement flat-file support in the near term. When using self-service, you will receive Code Summaries and a Project Overview for free, but we charge for generating documentation and relationships: 20 cents per code file and generated document (100 File Codebase = $35). Currently, self-service has a 1000 code file limit.

________________________________________________

If you want to see the quality of the documents SAFA generates before trying it with your code, feel free to check out our public codebases page (https://www.safa.ai/codebases). We have serious ones like Autoware's AV Control Module, and more fun ones, like Super Mario 64.

Otherwise, our app is directly accessible via https://app.safa.ai (apologies, we do require an account to be made).

I very much look forward to your feedback and insights.

Feel free to email me directly at aarik@safa.ai.

These sorts of anecdotes don't seem so useful without more demographic and geographic context.

When I moved into my first rental at 23 in 2015 in a suburb of Vancouver, the owners of the new condo were probably also millennial, just on the upper end. I was paying ~1450 CAD which was relatively very high for the time, but I couldn't find another viable place and was already by that time stuck in a monthly airbnb. They said they bought it for around ~250k. Not necessarily an extreme amount, if I already had years of income and luck on my side. Fast forward to post-pandemic, and now I have even less in absolute dollars, while the same place has more than doubled in price, and rent has probably increased by about $800/m.

Now 32, prosperity of normie standards pretty much seems out the door, so instead I'll occasionally spend a bit more on adventure, but much less frivolously than I think boomers and home-owning millennials tend to. The cost of a 2 weeker in a different continent can be less than the tax on a car. Fwiw I've also always been extremely frugal, but do now value my community more than money, because when you lose your job or face real hardship, you'll need the people you were already investing your time in.

Whether a millennial owns a home or now comes down to a few factors; what do they earn, how long have they earned it, where do they live, and did they get inheritance. If you've never lost a job, live in a LCOL area, are frugal, and got in earlier, great.
