Autotools, for all its ugliness, solved a critical problem: getting GNU software up and going on a variety of Unix systems each of which supported a different mix of features.

But it's 2024, people. If you port to Linux, macOS, and Windows, that's cross-platform enough to capture 99% of your userbase, and everything after that is diminishing returns. Still running DEC Ultrix on Alpha, a CPU architecture that's been out of manufacture for literal decades? Maintain the support yourself if it's so important.

In conclusion, use cmake or Meson. Let autotools die. Kill them if you have to.

> You can always "legally" "destroy" yourself through suicide

Not in a dignified, foolproof way. E.g. can you go to a pharmacy and get a dose of morphine that will kill you with certainty? You can't, in most jurisdictions.

Forcing other people to deal with the trauma of cleaning up your bloody remains after you jump off a window isn't exactly compassionate either.

Give people a clean way out, even if you don't want it for yourself.
1. I don't have to pay a monthly fee

1a. I don't have to listen to annoying and offensive ads

2. I don't have to worry about something disappearing

3. I can listen to the version I want (remaster vs. original)

4. I can listen to music in the codec of my choice: <320kbps MP3 sounds bad, and some people prefer FLAC, for instance

5. I don't need an expensive cellular plan to handle all that bandwidth

6. I can listen to my music on airplanes

It's amazing this stuff is so hard to understand for people these days.

The correct term is discrete circuit.

We used to have circuits, and when integrated on one piece of silicone, we called them "integrated circuits", while the old ones became "discrete circuits".
Show HN: A universal Helm Chart for deploying applications into K8s/OpenShift
Hey HN! We wanted to share with you nxs-universal-chart - our open-sourced universal Helm chart. You can use it to deploy any of your applications into Kubernetes/OpenShift and other orchestrators compatible with native Kubernetes API.

Our team regularly faced the need to create almost identical charts, so when we had 14 identical microservices in one project, we came up with a chart format that essentially became a prototype of nxs-universal-chart. It turned out to be more relevant than we even thought! When we needed to prepare CI/CD for 60 almost identical projects for a customer, we reduced the preparation time for release from 6 hours to 1. Basically, that’s how the idea of nxs-universal-chart became a real thing that everyone can use now!

The main advantages of such chart that we would like to highlight:
-Reducing time to prepare deployment
-You’re able to generate any manifests you may need
-It compatible with multiple versions of k8s
-Ability to use go-templates as your values

In the latest release we’ve added a few features like cert-manager custom resources support! Any other information and details you can find on GitHub: https://github.com/nixys/nxs-universal-chart
We’re really looking forward to improving our universal-chart so we’d love to see any feedback, contributions or report any issues you encounter!
Please join our chat in telegram if you want to discuss something about this repo or ask any questions: https://t.me/nxs_universal_chart_chat
They mentioned that the problem occurred while steam was downloading, I wonder if because steam is ultra cross platform with bare minimum OS specific UI it is using something quite low level to write data to disk? Maybe NSFile does some checks that posix calls can’t do while remaining compliant with the spec or something weird like that. That would explain why people using various low level ´pro level’ cross platform tools like databases would have issues but typical garage band user is usually ok. If you’re doing database writes you probably don’t want the overhead of these checks making your file system performance look bad so it’s left to the software to check that it’s not going to fill up the file system. Stab in the dark hypothesis. I would hope that however we are writing data to the file system it shouldn’t be able to lock it up like this. I’d be curious for someone with technical knowledge of this to chime in.

There's quite a difference between actually killing somebody and allowing them to kill themselves in a painless/peaceful manner - e.g. providing them access to drugs/devices that they have to choose to use themselves.
>The rest of your points are too vague such that they could basically be applied to any number of computer algorithms.

That is, in fact, a point I am making: "AI" as it stands today is a meaningless marketing term.
What I've seen generally, is interns being given non-essential non-time sensitive tasks that will help them grow, and depending on how they do and how they approach the task, they may get a position offer near the end of their internship.

So far I have not seen interns expected to do real, important work.

That being said, I'm in the EU, so things might be different where you are located.
> They’re forcing someone else to do it for them

No health professional is being forced to assist in an euthanasia against their will.

Is it so hard to believe that all the parties involved are willing participants?
In the shell you can truncate files to zero size with a redirection:

$ > large-file

It's possible that rm / unlink require working space to perform the transaction of removing the file from the directory, while truncation does not.
If that's your position, there's no use in us arguing.

I differ, considering life as sacred, and worried though not surprised of how we're moving as a society from holding life as sacred, at least in appearance, to overtly disregarding it in this manner. On the other hand, as I mentioned in a different reply, I have a big difficulty trusting doctors and their "nothing else to be done".
> Euthanasia for incurable cancer patients is a no-brainer, but for incurable depression sufferers? Well, their bodies are healthy.

These are fundamentally different situations. Incurable cancer patients are basically guaranteed to die because of their condition in the near future.

Allowing "euthanasia"/assisted suicide only normalizes suicide and encourages the state/societe/health-providers to dedicate less resources to mental health since we have a much cheaper/easier solution now. How do you determine that someone suffering from a mental health condition "terminally ill"? The patients surely can't do that themselves and the healthcare system(private or public) is only able to dedicate a certain amount of resources to a relatively limited number of approved treatment options.

I don't know what happened in this case but I'd bet that there were certainly many experimental (and probably mainstream) treatment options that she simply had no access to. Cancer and other terminal patients beyond a certain point are effectively doomed and can't be saved regardless of money/resources, they can't wait for another year or two for improved treatments, which IMHO is a huge difference because "euthanasia" shouldn't be an acceptable option unless every other option has been exhausted.
Phind AI Cheap Alternative
Phind AI Cheap Alternative: make AI search affordable for everyone
You put it in a search server, like ElasticSearch or Meili.
Not to me it doesn't.

For example, here's the story of a disabled Canadian man who "consented" to euthanasia because he thought it was his only alternative to homelessness:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-eut...

In this case he withdrew his "consent" after strangers helped him out financially, but I'm sure there are other cases that didn't end so luckily.

As suicide gets normalised you can expect the concept of "consent" to get expanded even further beyond the bounds of decency.
Talking GGUF, Usually the higher you can afford to go wrt. quantization(e.g. Q5 is better than Q4, etc), the better. A Q6_K has minimal performance loss from the Q8, so in most cases if you can fit a Q6_K it's recommended to just use that. TheBloke's READMEs[0] usually have a good table summarizing each quantization level.

If you're RAM constrained, you'll also have to make trade-offs about the context length. e.g. you could have 8 GB RAM and a Q5 quant with shorter context, vs Q3 with longer, etc.

Using the absolute latest version is acting as a beta tester for everyone else and this is not the first case where it means you get absolutely hosed.
Everyone's always comparing LLM and trasnformers to the human mind. Hence this is a valid comparison, as the human mind definitely is a control system. And it has the active robot limitation.
That has nothing to do with your original statement. Yes, hospital can lose their special protection but must then be given a warning that gives them enough time to evacuate and only if that warning is unheeded, it loses special protection. But all the other rules protecting civilians still apply (distinction, proportionality, precautions, …). In any case, this has nothing to do with the whole civilian population being stripped of their protections. They still have their human rights and cannot be targeted.
> If we exploded all energy companies into millions of tiny companies each with a single oil or gas well, but overall production is the same, would that change anything?

It could change something if we forced them to compete on how much of CO2 they emit for MWh.

Too big to fail is a terrible direction to move towards.

The main superpower that companies have is that they can die and be replaced by others doing better.
This is a serious failure of the backup mechanism not being able to restore from a backup, and a serious failure of the operating system, not being able to delete files in a mounted external disk.

Luckily, all important files were in the cloud, and you could write a blog post describing these monumental failures.
For most of them, this is not AI, these are standard image processing algorithms which are already plugged into the digital processor of a 15 years old camera.

> Also, her therapist claiming that "There’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better" sounds like an enormous red flag for me. Some authority should take a long hard look at a professional therapist speaking like that, especially considering the proximity/possibility of human euthanasia, or just suicide in general.

I don't think this is a red flag. I don't see anything wrong with a therapist speaking like that because this statement is often made after years of working with the patient and not after the first few hours of therapy. In my time I worked in a psychiatric ward we had many patients who were considered "austherapiert", i.e. the treatments they have undergone over the years have not worked. In some cases, we are talking about patients who have been in and out of the psychiatry ward on a regular basis for over 20 years undergoing different treatments without their condition improving. People who have been suffering from their illness for decades, and we're not just talking about depression, but also illnesses such as schizophrenia, BPD, bipolar personality disorder, dementia, etc. Many of these patients take medication to manage the symptoms of their illness, but the side effects are often perceived as worse than the actual illness. And even with medication, a normal life is often no longer possible. People lose their jobs, their family, their friends - their whole life because of their mental illness. It's not only about the internal suffering, but also that their life irretrievably breaks apart and due to the symptoms of the illness building a new life may be not possible.
This might seem impressive because of the subjectiveness. I also imagine, you arent mentioning the times it was completely incorrect because you used a negative in the sentence.

This is regular embeddings + LLM.

At the end of the day, you are basically just adding a preprompt to a search. Not to mention, the Mistral models are barely useful for logic.

I'm not really sure what you are getting out of it. I'm wondering if you are reading some mostly generic Mistral output with a few words from your pre-prompt/embedding.
I see in that stackexchange post, there's since been another alternative potential solution where you delete you virtual memory partition and if it's large enough it can give you back enough space to allow deleting of files to happen.

> Not using MOSFETs would make it faster, in theory.

My understanding is that the MOS 6502 was MOS, so MOSFET. Not using MOSFETs would make it less of a replica.

Implementing the replica in an integrated circuit instead of discrete transistors would lower capacitance.

The delay time is a consequence of the capacitance.

If that's not polished code, then I'm really curious what you consider to be polished!

* It follows Go conventions, has helpful comments and readme file.

* Given it's not user facing prod code, I'm assuming high-performance isn't critical, and the nature of what it's doing means using `once.*` is worth the trade-off with concurrency.

* It also makes sense not to actual test against a database, given that's the whole point of this package.

* The code is well-structured, with "internal" code separated.

I don't think I'm good enough at Go to be able to provide any more useful feedback than that.*

'Zillions' of seconds of aggregate latency waiting time is spent each day on waiting for web sites to load. Back-of-the-envelope calculations can suggest that the value of reducing waiting time can be in hundreds of billions over the whole time of the deployment. Bandwidth cost to users and energy use may also be significant factors.
“This is a high priority ticket” — in the context of an FFmpeg ticket it seems quite clear what “this” is: the FFmpeg ticket.

When you communicate as employee of company X, you represent company X, especially when you specifically namedrop company X. No one cares or should care whether it’s a “hapless newbie” doing the communication. Maybe do better training next time. (The specific engineer is actually quite senior if you look up their name, but that’s beside the point.)

In addition, they didn’t “immediately publish once [sic] side of a grievance”, the ticket happened quite a long time ago and was only brought up in light of the xz fiasco.
I can't speak for other distros, but at least in Fedora what happens is that library code is distributed in various devel packages, where the base package for, say, "futures-io" contains the actual code. So that's the "rust-futures-io-devel.noarch". After this, you get various "subpackages" for each feature. These are mostly there so that you can declare in a package that you need certain features, these packages are fully virtual, it seems, even though they all claim ownership of the relevant Cargo.toml in the local registry.

So to be fair, I was incorrect about it being a combinatorial explosion, since I was under the impression that each combination of features would be a package, but this makes a lot more sense. It's still a quite foreign way of packaging software, though. Although I'm glad that at least Cargo can be operated offline and from official repos.

>It was an improvement over floppies that were notoriously unreliable and not very durable even in 3.5" form

Sorry, but this is BS. Floppies were supremely reliable, really to an amazing degree. That is, until sometime in the mid-1990s or later: at that point, the drives became cheaper and crappier, and the media quality went straight down the toilet. It was pretty sudden as I remember, and basically coincided with people moving to CD-Rs because floppies were no longer large enough for daily use.

Ask your older friends or relatives if they had a lot of trouble with floppies back in the Apple ][ era, when that was the only disk drive on a computer and people routinely booted their computer with the same boot disk every day; floppies were quite reliable in those days.
Sure, expect something, at least for VC++.

> If it were so easy why do you think nobody has done it?

People have done it, there are plenty strbuf implementations to go around. Even the kernel has seq_buf. How you handle string manipulation internally in your codebase does not matter for compatibility with existing libraries.

> That's not very useful for the general case. If your code relies on the extra metadata (length, size) being correct and you're passing that null-terminated buffer around to libraries outside your code, it won't be correct since nothing else is aware of it.

You can safely pass the char* buffer inside a std::string to any C library with no conversion. You're making up issues in your head. Don't excuse incompetence.
The sheer number of people who have ran into this is a bit mind boggling.

Pretty surprising that Google DeepMind is still publishing such papers unless they have something much further ahead already. I expect OpenAI and Anthropic to have their equivalents to this research, but it still lets others catch up more easily and makes LLMs closer to commodities.
> inconsistent to support consumer privacy except for joe six pack’s LLC

Those aren't the same at all. An LLC is a privilege created under state laws and it's perfectly reasonable for those states to require records that the public can access in exchange for that privilege and the benefits it offers.

Having consumer privacy is good for the American public. Having access to know who owns an LLC is also good for the American public. Perfectly consistent.

Given the number of failed suicide attempts, not everyone is capable of committing it successfully.

And they're often forced to use brutal methods that some unfortunate soul then has to discover or clean up (e.g. firearms, jumping, or standing in front of a train)

Giving the long-term-suffering an option of a peaceful and painless way out seems much more compassionate. It just needs the right level of safeguards to stop people doing it impulsively. A 3-6 month 'cooling off period' between booking the appointment and going through with it would likely solve most of the problems (although may be too long if somebody is in severe pain, e.g. late-stage cancer. But separate rules could be used for those who clearly have terminal illnesses)
The other extreme end of it though, is that we're morally obligated to force everyone into treatment, whether it helps or not.

Cancer? Forced treatment. Gay? Forced treatment. Left-handed? Forced treatment. It's for your own good so you don't deserve a choice.
There's so much to learn from that one example - thanks for that, just playing with it now!
