Picking on Harvard because I know a few people who went there and it is a decent signpost of what direction the US political elite are going in...

If I go look up Black students at Harvard, I can find a Black student association association: https://www.theharvardbsa.com/. The photos might not be completely representative of their membership but they are quite suggestive of a certain racial trend among the associates.

Ditto the Harvard Latino alliance - https://harvardlatino.sigs.harvard.edu/ - just eyeballing the photos but I it looks like this association is race biased too.

I don't see why Whites are supposed to be all that different. I would suggest that in the future there will be a Harvard White Student association. Not immediately, but I'd say in a 30-50 year time horizon it'd be much more likely that not.

Do you feel the same way about Linux and Git?

Anyway, the Redict team are doing their thing and letting Redis and Valkey be. You’re the one insisting on Redict doing things the way you would like, so who exactly is being ideological?
No, but for consumers they're a great offering.

Agreed I hate volume measurements for anything that can’t be packed down or that is expected to be used in a non-liquid form (like the butter example). At least with butter, I know it means two sticks but I still prefer weight whenever possible.

Although I probably spend up to $700 or so on AI tools monthly. I feel like I get multiples of value out of that.

Mainly it allows me to build side projects significantly faster. My salaried workplace output is accelerated so I have more time to work on side projects, I can do more side projects in similar amount of time, I can do consultation on the side, which allows me to bill for much more than $700.

Copilot gives enough energy to be able to code 12h+ a day.

Usually those little things that Copilot auto completes for you, really stack up in terms of being mentally exhausting.

But I can be in a "big picture" role, and think in terms of that, while Copilot does the coding for me, I will just check the code, rearrange something if required.

It is like I'm more of in a CTO or CEO role of my side projects and have this extra coder that I'm doing reviews for.

I probably bill around 60% of my salaried work freelancing on the side, and I wouldn't bother to do this freelancing without GPT, so for me it has directly contributed to 60% increase in income.

I think people who aren't willing to spend on that, either don't understand how to multiply their output from it or don't understand how to make multiplied output into effective income.

Isn’t Linux GPL? What’s the relevance?

Edit: Linux was always GPL, Redis was not, so I don’t see the relevance.
IMO, that's not where the inscrutability comes from. Rather, it is things like many useful (and thus used) constructs being implemented with line noise like `"$(foo)"`, `2>&1 &`, `${foo:-bar}`, etc., finicky control flow syntax, surprising defaults that can be changed within unclear scopes, etc.
I see what you mean but that only works in the assumption of crystals being the same shape and point size probability distribution. Which is a reasonable assumption for crystals but real materials are derived by grinding, so you can easily have a wider distribution of shapes (rounder) and sizes (small particles filling the gaps between larger ones).
It's very impressive. Some of the same tracks are very nice to listen to.

However, I can't help but feel like it's missing something. Perhaps the reason we listen to human made music is to feel what the artist wants us to feel. There are intentions behind every beat and every tone in a human created track.

Maybe it's just getting used to listening to AI music.
> The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

If we found anything resembling this today (presumably in some language we don't understand or by a culture we assume isn't stating this as a fact of science), the first thing that would happen is someone would dig it up.

Maybe the safest solution is no marking.
"recipe for X" is usually just as ill-defined.

Yeah, maybe I do prefer slightly larger than average portions but most recipes I find on the internet for 4, are actually for 3. Unless they aren't and it's more like 6.

But I mean if you keep making it you can just adjust that, same as the units.

(Not even taking into account that people like to add side salads, or have some bread with their main, or an appetizer, or a dessert.. maybe my "bigger" portions just assume not a single addition)
Butter stick at least in America normally have tablespoon marks on the wrapper. That said, sometimes the wrapper is clearly shifted one direction or the other so that the first or last “tablespoon“ is not a full tablespoon.

Essentially the code patches ifunc resolvers to call into a supplied malicious object by surreptitiously modifying c files at build time (when ./configure && make is run) and links the compromised object files with a `now` linker flag that causes the ifuncs to be resolved immediately at library load time, which calls the patched resolvers while the process linkage table is still writable, which is the important part that allows them to just hijack the RSA_public_decrypt function in memory when the library is loaded.

Good point but this only holds if the sugar/salt particles always have identical geometry and are just varying in scale; I think that assumption is fundamentally flawed.
Previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30194345
I put together a little display of the earthquake action of the first 4-5 hours after the large event using data from the USGS site. [0] You can follow the action from event to event over the course of the first 22 events (about 4-5 hours I think).

[0] https://postimg.cc/HckCRn1m

It started near Hualien City with the magnitude 7.4 and then if you folow the blue lines you can see how it rattled NE-SW mostly along the coast for the first hour (6 events) then following the pink line you can see it popped at the NE end along the coast before a series of events that curved out into the sea to the E-SE for the next hour (5 events). That was followed during the third hour by 4 events oriented roughly NE-SW in green with all but one offshore to the NE. The fourth hour saw 4 more events almost complete the square in yellow. Things were quieting by then and the fifth hour only saw two events, both offshore in light blue with the series ending red with a single event offshore.

I have a graph of activity showing the magnitude and depth versus the time of the event. You can see that the later events trend deeper and lower magnitude making them unlikely to be felt as much as the initial event and less likely to cause as much damage. [1]

[1]https://postimg.cc/zyfdWhNT

To understand the timing of the events I have displayed them in an elapsed time versus magnitude display based on the initial event timing. [2]

[2] https://postimg.cc/68w81VqG

You can see how the magnitude of the events tails off and they become less frequent with time. In the map view you can get a feel for the region's relaxation after the main quake and the other graph allows you to see how the event magnitudes decreased while the later events tended deeper.
Many American consumers follow design trends with vehicles and play the keeping up with the Jones' with what is popular. Tesla's vehicles have not had any major redesign and that I believe would be a true test of a vehicle manufacturer is if they can iterate on the design, retool their factories and deliver it well, as in its well received in the marketplace.

I doubt their sales are plunging this much because of internet bafoonery of the leader. I think its that the designs are beginning to look tired in contrast of other EV options out there. If Tesla doesn't have a redesign cooking, I would expect their competitors to eat up market share over the next few years.

Kia is killing it with their designs and revamp of their products.
Butter sticks in the US have marks down the side of the wrapper, like a ruler, that show you tablespoon increments. Google image search "tablespoons butter stick".
> The biggest lesson I've ever had in cooking is that literally nothing is precise

Ah, I remember coming home from school one day when I was 16, and finding the kitchen filled with smoke. On the stove was a pan with a breaded piece of meat, burned to blackness. When I called out, my dad emerged from his office. Seeing me turning off the stove, he erupted: "Don't turn off the stove, the package said place frozen in pan and let it fry for 13 minutes!!!".

He had read the instructions, put the meat into the pan, turned to stove to full heat, set a timer to 13 minutes, and then returned to his office.
These results look really useful on a first glance! I will make an account to test this with my own questions after seeing the results (The homepage alone didn't convince me to invest that much time).

You don't have to have 200A service. 100A can charge a car and it doesn't have to be annoying if you have a smart electrical panel which can prioritize charging with clothes dryer and stove usage. If the car is charging and you decide to dry clothes, it will switch off the car's circuit until the dryer shuts off. If you decide to cook dinner, it will shut off the car or the dryer until you turn the stove off again.

I don't think there is any scientific basis for drinking water when you're not thirsty. I suspect this idea originated from marketing for bottled water.

Thanks for the insight. I didn't know what "absorption-method cooking" is so I looked it up online and it's how I cook rice, or at least how I cook rice when it's not part of a dish that has to be cooked as one. A couple of guides I found online even use a normal pot, with a more or less precise measurement of water. In my experience, exact measurements are not something a human palate can do, and I think there is a lot of posturing in recipe writers who insist on such, most of the time - with the exception of baking and emulsions, although even there the variability in the ingredients themselves introduces a lot of uncertainty.

Maybe a rice cooker can make exact measurements, but again I would have to wonder: who was the superhuman tester who detected the perfectly cooked rice, that everyone on earth will indisputably recognise as perfect? For me, cooking is not science and I think I'd feel a bit silly having a scientific instrument for rice cooking. So, I guess, it's not for me.
So is the old catalogue of the library perhaps available? Perhaps there is a dos computer or disk still available or someone who knows?

FWIW, my comment wasn't meant to single out python as particularly good. I think the comparison I drew between its inscrutability and that of shell / bash would apply to nearly all other languages as well.
Conan is a package manager for C/C++, written in Python. See: https://conan.io/.

The way it works is that you can provide "recipes", which are Python scripts, that automate the process of collecting source code (usually from a remote Git repository, or a remote source tarball), patching it, making its dependencies and transitive dependencies available, building for specific platform and architecture (via any number of build systems), then packaging up and serving binaries. There's a lot of complexity involved.

Here are the two recipes I mentioned:

libcurl: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...

OpenSSL v3: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/r...

Now, for the sake of this thread I want to highlight three things here:

- Conan recipes are usually made by people unaffiliated with the libraries they're packaging;

- The recipes are fully Turing-complete, do a lot of work, have their own bugs - therefore they should really be treated as software comonents themselves, for the purpose of OSS clearing/supply chain verification, except as far as I know, nobody does it;

- The recipes can, and do, patch source code and build scripts. There's supporting infrastruture for this built into Conan, and of course one can also do it by brute-force search and replace. See e.g. ZLib recipe that does it both at the same time:

https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/7b0ac710... -- `_patch_sources` does both direct search-and-replace in source files, and applies the patches from https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/tree/master/r....

Good luck keeping track of what exact code goes into your program, when using Turing-complete "recipe" programs fetched from the Internet, which fetch your libraries from somewhere else on the Internet.

My under-caffeinated brain can't unsee that as a silly reference to the old tabs vs. spaces squabble. Maybe it's simply a rational obfuscation choice, or maybe it's indeed a masterstroke of satire.
Your examples are all specifically about the ECHR (which legally is totally separate from the EU), but there are many other courts, both national and at the EU level, whose rulings regularly are enforced in member states, even against governments. The German Supreme Court overturned the government budget last year, throwing a massive wrench in the plans of the ruling coalition, for example.

The comparison with China is simply ridiculous.

But that's the core of the grift. "Thou shalt not X" is in no way more authoritative than "Make up your own mind about X" unless it's an order from the supernatural. One might as well commit their life to following the teachings of The Big Lebowski's "the dude".
Is there not some responsibility on the US govt to reasonably protect its infrastructure in a common maritime path? The harbor long preceded the bridge, and when the bridge was constructed, the harbor had massive container ships moving in and out. No dolphins or starlings around a single point of failure for an entire bridge span? Whole a bridge collapse like this is rare, bridge strikes are not uncommon.

It seems like even modest defenses to slow the ship or push some energy aside could have mitigated a collapse.

Lots of people, have you never posted in an nvidia thread before?

tons of people would much rather RTX, DLSS, and AI never existed at all, because it means they have to upgrade their GTX 1080 Ti or RX 480 or whatever. A lot of people bought their first GPU since that launch and have never lived through a hard upgrade cycle.

recently it’s turned into this insane “if you can’t make cards like 3050 for $110 or get at least double the perf over 2 generations then don’t make a new generation at all” Neo-Luddism but it’s been brewing for a long time among the gaming public.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QbNwO4HXTIk&feature=youtu.be

It's obviously dumb and regressive, literal modern luddism, but it's crazy to pretend that it's not an extremely visible and popular modern trend, either. People are mad the low end is stagnating and the high end is continuing to progress, and the natural human response is “if I don’t get to have a good time I don’t see why anyone else should either”. “Don’t launch a 5090 until there’s a good card for $110” is a very mainstream phenomenon nowadays.

Literally the drum the 2 biggest and most popular tech channels have been beating for a year now.
You’re ignoring scale.

A single Jia Tian can be infiltrating 10s or more OSS projects each week without needing to travel around the world physically stealing hardware from various maintainers who they then need to impersonate.

They can just impersonate some anons with no real lives or connections and just get the keys to OSS projects given time.
You're right, but you can also expand these. If not syntactically, by adding temporary variables and comments around these complex parts.

It's true that Bash and Perl has one of the most contractible syntax around, but it's not impossible to make it more understandable.

However, these parts of codebases are considered "supportive" and treated as second class citizens, and never receives the same love core parts of the codebases enjoy. That's a big mistake IMO.

When you make something more readable all around, hiding things becomes harder exponentially.
I'm not sure why people keep misidentifying the problem as "lack of funding". Lasse Collin was doing fine as a maintainer up until Jia Tan showed up. He was psy-op'd into believing there was a crowd of angry people eagerly awaiting a new release when there wasn't. No real person was unhappy with the way he'd been maintaining xz.

I really don't understand this point, its a script language, how old is it doesn't make any difference. I've come accross some Powershell scripts that were unreadable down to its verbosity with certain things, and if you don't already know all the flags and options for it, it's hopeless to try and understand.

Both serve a purpose, neither are 'evil'.

The docs define only module[0] and package[1] but the term library is often used to refer to a collection of modules such as the "standard library."

0. https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-module

1. https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-package

A non-canonical source claims broader meaning for "Library:"

A library is an umbrella term referring to a reusable chunk of code. Usually, a Python library contains a collection of related modules and packages. Actually, this term is often used interchangeably with “Python package” because packages can also contain modules and other packages (subpackages). However, it is often assumed that while a package is a collection of modules, a library is a collection of packages.

Hey saikou,

When I first saw EduHunt, I laughed, thinking maybe it's an April Fool's joke? But looks like you're serious. It feels a bit weird to pay for finding stuff on YouTube that's already free. I mean, saving time is cool and all, but this idea... I'm not sure it makes much sense. YouTube is all about free access, right?
Because "Everyone wants to call their stuff open source but have strings attached" implies GPL ( or CopyLeft, Non-BSD / MIT license ) have strings attached.

So the parent was asking isn't Linux Open Source but with strings attached? And if so are you happy with Linux?
