Oh, another political propaganda trash article on HN. What a surprise.

Some fun fact, the "political extremists" they are talking about are pretty much anyone who dares to be even a centrist. The AFD. Alternative for Germany is pretty much the ONLY party of name in Germany who is actually FOR direct democracy, something all the other parties HATE. Because they claim democracy is what they think is right, and the actual citizens should never really have any decision over things.

The current thread to democracy are the parties who try to ban parties and call everyone a Nazi who dares to be centrist or right wing. As a German, I know what I am talking about. Politics on the last 20 years have shifted to the left so heavily that we are seeing a well deserve swing back of the pendulum.

Let's just indulge this "lonely people" causing it for a sec. If this would be true, MAYBE it's because lonely people spend more time on the internet and actually read and watch alternative media and come to an informed decision about that they want to vote and advocate for. They may detest their culture being replaced with other cultures they never asked for, maybe they want some kind of "Germany first" politics (I just made that term up). Instead of going into war with Ukraine, people want the resources spend on Germany. All the other parties are PRO WAR, even the left and the green party are voting pro war and military intervention and aid all the time. They send our money somewhere else!

And who caused lots of this loneliness? All the parties who they want us to vote for, they introduced draconian covid lockdowns that isolated everybody and put even families against each other. They did way more damage with their insane unjustified BS then covid could ever do!
There's probably a ton more unlicensed repos than licensed. It isn't weird, its capitalism.
As the US government and record labels go after TikTok, musicians get squeezed
Sad to hear, they really created some awesome models for the community. Looks like their entire diffusion team left. Do we know where they went to? Hopefully another organisation pops up without the incompetent discord based leadership and that actually finds a way to finance themselves while releasing weights in some capacity.
Alex discusses this in the post. Performance counters were the first thing we tried, but alas they're non-deterministic about every one-in-a-trillion instructions.
My assumption is that the "my private repo was included" crowd are misremembering that their repo used to be public at some point in the distant past (~years). My suggestion would be that they re-scan before each major revision of the dataset (such as this upcoming "v2" release). This would be a relatively expensive process given the numbers involved, but so be it.

(edit: I think "v2" is already released, but you get my point)
really? But isn't it an entirely online contest?
“Didn’t go to high school” and “doesn’t have a high school diploma” aren’t synonymous. There’s GED for example.
Once you have a "good life" you start looking for other things than money. I know a few people who have quit a good job they didn't like for one that paid a little less but they liked more. Though there is a limit to how far someone can go down in pay before they don't like the new job because of pay.
China has always had planned housing welfare, it was the only way of building houses for decades.

Liberalized housing started in the 90s along the rest, but planned housing projects have kept existing and had huge budgets till the late 2010s. Even today around one in twenty development housing projects is still state funded.

Anyway, I was mostly talking about them as a society lifting more and more of the weakest. And yes, building houses has been a major contributor of this obviously as well as a stimulus for the economy.
It opens your mind like half a bottle of bourbon "opens your mind". Musk's tweets sound exactly like that.
I can't find any reason why I would have made it public. I made the repo in 2014 for internal use and don't like to share projects like that. I'm pretty careful when releasing any code publicly. It's some code that other private projects depend on. I searched for any references in public code and there are none, so there should have been no reason to make it public.

Interestingly my public code with thousands of stars isn't in "The Stack".
You are trying to dismiss my claim by making a moral claim about your opponents instead of formulating an argument for why my claim is wrong or an inquiry.

To your claim there is no evidence. Here are some videos of top executives saying DEI enforce hiring & performance outcomes using Marxist oppressor/oppressed hierarchies:

—- CEO of IBM @ArvindKrishna admits to using coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they discriminate in the hiring process.

“You got to move both forward by a percentage that leads to a plus on your bonus," Krishna said about hiring Hispanics, "and by the way if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.”

...because there's a glut of investor money chasing "AI", raising money for your new AI startup is not particularly hard if you are linked with any of the big names in AI.

Even if the startup "fail", the founder could have been paying themselves a market-rate salary with the added possibility of an FU-money exit. The downsides are limited.
Reads a bit weirder, but changed.
1. The AI agent writes an automation script (similar to Appium) that we can replay after the first successful run. If there are issues the AI agent gets pulled back into the loop.

2. You can define acceptance criteria in natural language with camel.
Reminds me of the "super mini computer" that was still the size of two fridges.

Only makes sense if you understand the niche market it competes in.

In Preview.app, I wonder if doing a Print to PDF step would normalize those comments into “actual text”
That isn't the speed of light.
Like all automation tools, LLMs are very effective at getting more done.

They're not content-neutral (no violence, no sex, etc., which some people complain about very loudly), but for anything not forbidden, gpt-3.5-turbo-0125 can output more for about $4233.60 than a human record holding stenographer can type in a working lifetime.

When it doesn't have to be amazing, and I think spam is one of many things in that category, this is absolutely a huge deal compared to a text editor.
Since a lot of this depends on whether someone had ever had a private repo public in the past, I was hoping it could be resolved using the GitHub security audit log.

You can access that for your repos here: https://github.com/settings/security-log

Then search for repo:simonw/datasette or similar.

But... it looks like the audit log only goes back 6 months, so sadly it's not useful for reviewing this particular situation which involves repos that could have been 5 or more years old.

The ClickHouse copy of the GitHub Archive is useful for reviewing things and goes back a lot further. Try it here:

https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play

You can run this query to see relevant events for a specific username:

with public_events as (
select
created_at as timestamp,
'Private repo made public' as action,
repo_name
from github_events
where actor_login = 'simonw'
and event_type in ('PublicEvent')
),
most_recent_public_push as (
select
max(created_at) as timestamp,
'Most recent public push' as action,
repo_name
from github_events
where event_type = 'PushEvent'
and actor_login = 'simonw'
group by repo_name
),
combined as (
select * from public_events
union all select * from most_recent_public_push
)
select * from combined order by timestamp

The PublicEvent one is "When a private repository is made public" according to https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/github-ev...

I just built a tool for running this query without having to type in the SQL: https://observablehq.com/@simonw/github-public-repo-history

There's a conflict in value proposition here, which is more drastic than the discovery issue. That might help you better contextualize the failure, and avoid similar risks in the future.

Namely, GPT is now a multimodal trained llm capable of doing OCR over PDFs and images. Given the accessibility of that feature, we expect that users do not try to discover OCR plugins anymore- they feel no need.

Out of curiosity, what was the contingency plan in the case that OpenAI did this? What rationales did you use to estimate the likelihood and severity of that risk? Were there good reasons to discount that risk?

If you are upset about somebody not wanting to take that $50k a year job because it would cost them a subsidy, just wait until you hear about trust funds and inheritance!!

If you think losing a $20k subsidy is demotivating, imagine inheriting $25 million.

So instead of knuckling down and working hard to contribute their fair share, they are incentivized to just loaf. No telling the costs to society from these freeloaders.
I think the larger issue is that openzfs doesn't move in sync with the kernel so you have to check https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openzfs/zfs/master/META to make sure you can actually upgrade each time. On a rolling distro this is a pretty common breakage AFAIK. It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.
When you say it's monetized, are they actually giving anyone any money? The details of that were to "to be announced" but I haven't heard any announcement.
That spot in western Australia is interesting, I was looking at that earlier. My map doesn't show any indication of interference there, in fact from what I can tell there's plenty of evidence of _no_ interference. Eh, there are sometimes analysis or other artifacts, and it can be tricky to try to infer too much from one hex.
Not the parent but speaking from (multiple) EB occurances, you can get a mono spot test if it's suspected. My last rodeo, it took excluding hepABC, AIDS, cytomegalovirus, and finally a mono spot (along with liver enzymes testing 2x a week for the month I was bedridden...)
Looking at those photos, I can't help to wonder what % (say, by weight) of circuitboards, parts, cables etc are actually re-used at any point.

With remainder most likely winding up in a landfill, open-air fire pit, or low-tech metal recycling operation (like shred whole boards & mechanically sort the bits). In all cases, harmful to environment & people's health.

Shipping e-waste to countries like Ghana is not the problem here. But recipient should obey same environmental standards as country where it came from. Can't guarantee that? (proper machinery no-existant, corruption, no oversight etc). Then imho it's unethical/criminal to even ship it there.
Seems hard to believe that rolling your own would be a good idea when FOSS options and cloudware exist, but I'm not familiar with the DAM space.
“Clients in that container won’t trust the cert”. Yeah, there’s the trick.

“service-a.lcl.host:443300“ so when inside the container, won’t that resolve to 127.0.0.1 which is the container internal loopback interface not the docker host’s interface? Hence trying to connect to itself not its sibling.
You will have to do some research to find out what the new laws in the making and fire department procedures say about garages and multi-story car parks in 2024.

A quick review by me just now suggests the government regulations still have not yet caught up with the new reality in the US and EU:

EV's and large batteries inside buildings are not yet forbidden but probably will be soon.

Fire departments choose to evacuate a building with EV fires (and other industrial fires) and just let it burn out [2].

Fire departments only quench a fire by sudden rapid cooling if possible, for example by drowning [1] the entire Li-ion fire in a basin. Taking the oxygen away is not the goal.

[1] https://www.ctif.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/Putting%20o...

I design neighbourhood batteries as two shipping containers underground. In the bottom container the batteries with multiple infrared camera's looking at all battery sides and also with redundant temperature sensors. The top shipping container will deliver 60.000 liter of water into the bottom container in seconds. Testing such a setup would make for a hot and cool spectacular Mythbusters episode.

> So you don't expect to accrue on the order of 1000 machine-hours in your deployment?

The 1000 number came from you. I have no idea where you got it from. I suspect the "real number" is several orders of magnitude higher, but I have no idea, and it's sort of artificial in the first place.

My overarching point is that mine is such a vanishingly small portion of the universe of machines running btrfs that I am virtually guaranteed that bugs will be found and fixed before they affect me, exactly as happened here. Unless you run a rather large business, that's probably true for you too.

The filesystem with the most users has the least bugs. Nothing with the feature set of btrfs has even 1% the real world deployment footprint it does.

> If you have millions of users, some of them will hit it within hours or even minutes after boot!

This is weirdly sensationalist: I don't get it. Nobody dies when their filesystem gets corrupted. Nobody even loses money, unless they've been negligent. At worst it's a nuisance to restore a backup.

The problem is labels, and beyond that political parties. Politicians like labels because the parties depend on labels for branding. They want to use rhetoric to group people, like “poor” or “rich” and the second you do that you create the discontinuity.

Avoiding benefit cliffs requires more than understanding the issue of discontinuities, it requires the reduction of identity politics which neither party is on board with. Parties themselves are labels. They cater to the human desire to simplify and form tribes around those labels.

I don't know they ever did try to eliminate Islam, but the particular issue of washing was a conflict between their religious practices. I learned this from https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/hfsnrYC2aGbr1HEehhwrqZ?start=6m3... by Premodernist, which quotes and discusses 長春真人西遊記:

> Now the subtext here, which Li doesn't come right out and say, but is kinda understood for a contemporary: when the Mongols forbade people from washing in the rivers, that means that if they caught you going into the river to wash, they would kill you on the spot; because that was a taboo in the Mongol religious system. Now that was a problem if you were a Muslim who had come under Mongol rule, because Muslims of course do ritual washings before prayers, and in central Asia they would very often just go down to the local stream or river to do the washings. But if a Mongol saw them doing that, they would go over there and strike them down and kill them. And there are accounts – not in this account, but there are accounts in other historical works from the period, particularly from Muslim writers – that talk about, it was not uncommon for Muslims to be killed by Mongols in this way.
Remember that "People use Apple phones because they like being protected by the Walled Garden".

Remember that apple removing the ability to install an app from a political prisoner is "pro user"

Remember that apple approving a scam app mimicking the Lastpass app is because they are using the walled garden to protect their users from scam apps, and totally not their revenue.
What do you mean? In my experience outside of the few major cities (New York, LA, etc.) there are only high rises in the very downtown of large cities.
Wow, so impressive that the parrots knows how to minimize the video and browse for other stuff.
“About?” Where has this person been for… years
Trust me, they're making it back.
Steal your repos? So you don't have them anymore because they took them? Maybe ask nicely to have them back and with a bit of luck they'll give them back to you.
I mean, can't it be both? Individuals have personal agency and are responsible for their own actions. Individuals also respond to incentives which, in aggregate, alter the observed distribution of those individual decisions. The problem can be addressed at both levels.
Could probably add relatively inexpensive drone systems to the gliders with some solar and a battery to enable it to assist in landing and taxiing, as well as dealing with weather and the inevitable crashes.

I am aware that flying is the safest form of mass transportation but crashes do still happen and should be accounted for, after all, and it would be nice if the autonomous glider drone systems had a touch of brains in it to try to not land on a house or into a highway or something.
The article goes to great pains to emphasize how concerning this is and how much of a safety risk it is seemingly without finding a single actual incident where the independent battery builders' batteries caused a problem. Frankly, given the level of quality control I've seen from large brands lately, I'm skeptical that the guy who's made it his business to build batteries for the last 20 years is delivering a worse product than what I'd get buying retail.
Bombs are no more a tool to kill people than rocks or knives are.
I'm not so sure about that. How many of the services and products we consume today actually increase our quality of life instead of just giving a small dopamine boost that before you would've gotten from simpler things?

I thought the exact opposite from a UX angle. Swiped down and it started scrolljacking and then I read the line about touch screens helping us “to snag Lightning deals on Prime Day” and it was enough for me to just stop reading and close the tab.
This problem seems to create a continuous stream of software attempting to solve it with no definitive solution.

It's kind of strange, because there is a single objectively correct rendering for any vector graphics scene given a pixel sampling function and colorspace metric (the one where each output pixel's value is the closest representable color to the convolution of that function with the scene, expressed as a function from R^2 to R and a linear color scheme respectively), and it seems like it would be achievable with GPU compute and some care with error bounds on either curve tessellation or numerical computation of the exact symbolic integrals of curves.

And it also seems easy to make such a solution have a tunable level of approximation to have faster rendering.
Huh? This tool just parses PDFs, it doesn't require academics to actually do anything.
Chicken, meet egg.
Actually, we do - in Poland, but most developers are from Ukraine. All other operations stays in UK. The salaries leveled up after a few years, but it is still slightly more cost effective comparing to UK. But the actual skill levels and work attitude is night and day. That's why I am perplexed that so many US software engineers want to stand their ground in terms of working from home policy, potentially exposing themselves to compete on a global market while big software houses like Microsoft or Google cutting jobs like there is no tomorrow.
I'm guessing these were public once (mine were), but I'll be damned if I let github host anything of mine again.
It’s a nice write-up, thank you. But I didn’t get the YouTube Premium thing in this context. Does it allow watching something that is hidden from non-premium plebs? I thought it’s a no-advertising thing, the premium, isn’t it?

This shouldn't be something where we're relying on recollection.

Presumably github repo privacy state has an audit trail. This would allow GH to prove / disprove claims on any given repo easily. I hope a rep steps in to do so.

I have been a part of MMA/Boxing in some way or another close to my entire adult life, and it has always been shocking how badly we treat concussions or blows to the head.

I've seen Olympic hopefuls being KNOCKED out and given the okay to compete by doctors. The macho attitude doesn't help. One personal anecdote I've seen, time and time again, that has helped is oxygen post-knockout.

every person I've spoken to who has gotten oxygen after a knockout or a hard match told me that they felt much much better vs the times they haven't. Not sure why or how.

I have 66 repositories picked up and put in The Stack. I spot-checked the first 10. All 10 are Public on GitHub. 8 of the 10 do not have a license of any type, meaning they are covered by copyright, at least in the US, unless GitHub has some terms extending the license of public projects to 3rd parties.

One of mine is Private and was an extension I sold for a short time. I can't say if I ever made it public or not.

I highly recommend trying HCG which is the safer option initially and preserves fertility. It also prevents testicular atrophy.

Depending on your Hypogonadism however, you may not see great results, if you have primary then it won't do much but for secondary cases you'll see your T levels increase.

In any case, doing TRT + HCG is ideal for most secondary Hypogoands. If cost is not an issue, it's a good thing to add to your protocol and for many people it might be the missing link for libido improvements should TRT alone fail.

I Started with HCG mono, now I've been doing TRT + HCG for 24 months. Best decision I've ever made and it basically saved my marriage. I had no sexual function before.
