I use Karabiner Elements on my Macs to bind right-side Command + hjkl as arrow keys throughout the system and it’s magical.

I also use Karabiner Elements to bind Caps Lock as a Hyper Key, and then I use Keyboard Maestro to remap Hyper Key + the j/k bindings above to backspace and forward delete.

China's spun up their own GPU research and manufacturing to compete against NVIDIA. Not just in response to recent tariffs, but part of a long term strategy of having no dependencies on foreign nations.

It was a big deal when Huawei reentered the phone market in 2019 using Chinese chips after international sanctions.
I too was stabbed in grade school; twice actually, in the same hand. I think both times for pestering girls as they were writing, lol. I guess I deserved it.

Both left visible gray marks under the healed skin...one on a finger and the other in the soft tissue between my thumb and index finger. Years later, in my 30s, I was handling some super strong magnets and felt tugging on the tissue next to my thumb, indeed that magnet was pulling strongly on that piece of embedded graphite.
I thought that was strange because either the graphite had impurities of iron in it or my body had accumulated iron around it.

Some years later I would develop random knuckle pain in a couple of the nearby fingers. I was skeptical that this foreign object was to blame...but I convinced a doctor to do some minor in-office surgery to remove it.
The doctor made an incision and using forceps tried to find and pull it out. He couldn't find it (which he initially warned me about and suggested ultrasound guidance) and asked me to get out my magnet and pull the object up...his forceps immediately snapped to the magnet, I didn't flinch but was laughing internally. He grabbed the object, which was probably half the size of a sesame seed...much smaller than what he was expecting based on the amount of tissue that was being pulled up by the magnet.

Months would pass and I no longer had pain in those knuckles, that was probably 5 years ago. The other stab mark, which is on a different finger, never caused any issues.

The nurse afterwards said, "I cannot believe you did that." I chuckled.

I can now say that I've assisted in my own surgery ;-)
Show HN: An easy way to create and embed code blocks on your website or blog
While working with FormKit's "auto-animate," I was really impressed by how they presented example code on their website. Achieving that level of quality for code blocks can be tedious and frustrating. So, I thought about building something to create great-looking code blocks quickly and easily.

I discovered that there are many "code to image" tools available, which are great, but I wanted to focus specifically on embeddable code blocks. This led me to create coblox.io.

I hope it proves to be useful.
Exactly my thought, as mentioned in the other thread, Chat's linear conversation style is not fit for reasoning/exploration type of tasks, while Beam's fan-out -> select --> merge is a much better and natural flow!
The changes to build-to-host.m4 weren't in the source repo, so there was no commit.

The attacker had permissions to create GitHub releases, so they simply added it to the GitHub release tarball.
The startup I work for is getting off a similar PaaS and evaluating Porter too; we really like the idea of the white glove service they have and flexibility across multiple clouds but was worried about general overhead in someone on the team needing to manage it, whereas the PaaS was so hands off (even if it was a black box). Curious what you and your team end up deciding on!
Mark Twain's Mind Waves
I know the history, it still doesn’t make sense.

e.g. Wages can be both inputs and outputs. Because there’s no ultimate judge deciding how these things should be considered.

Millions of writers can write billions of words about it one way or the other, but at the end of the day they don’t count for anything, when compared to 8 billion lives worth of daily decisions.
I really miss Japanese duvet/futon covers; the corners have holes for the duvet to stick through, and the duvet has velcro straps that attach to loops on the cover. Every duvet/cover I own lacks this totally basic thing that prevents the duvet from falling all to one side of the cover.
How does bad office kitchen etiquette affect the overall culture of a workplace
If the flyovers/Texans have to buy an electric car, then they will likely buy one from Elon. I agree, they aren’t clamoring for EVs unless and until they have to.
It could be that it’s the origin, and it also could be that one law is about thousands of products that are currently being sold, and the other is about something that a single project is trying to see if it’s even possible.

Weather forecasts can easily be compared to actuals, and distribution of residuals can be calculated. That’s how weather forecast models are quantitatively evaluated. A seven day weather forecast has 95% confidence interval of around plus-minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit, way better than “it’ll be like today”.

Your prediction about the war in Ukraine is not falsifiable.

Ok, so we went back and looked at other correlations. The bad news is that reducing the late night alcohol sales between 2018 and 2022 has increased opioid deaths. The good news is that increasing opioid deaths between 2018 and 2022 has lowered the crime rate in those areas (see our earlier paper)!

Also we're not too sure but at certain levels of nocturnal alcohol availability nearly everyone stayed at home for weeks on end and made microchips, like, hella expensive. Weird, right? More research required.
I recommend the CoRecursive episode about how LZ4 and zstd came to be. It started with making games for a HP calculator. https://corecursive.com/data-compression-yann-collet/
It’s in the chart above.
I believe the main pitfall of this approach is related to what the author of the og article mentioned around r/w and query latency from S3. I like the old Twitter eng blog post on their distributed kv store called Manhattan (https://blog.x.com/engineering/en_us/a/2014/manhattan-our-re...). For any serious real-time data, we probably still need some semblance of fast R/W storage, but analytics workloads or long-running tasks can def benefit for cheap blob storage.

Sorry but this is a ludicrous statement. Beans and brown rice are more "whole" than beef unless you're eating the whole cow? You're not eating the whole bean plant or rice plant. Even looking at brown rice or beans off the plant, with brown rice you are still removing the husk and with beans you are removing the pod.
Unrelated but I'm really curious what's the use case for sending custom js per request?
That volume coherently. Obviously mere volume can be done by a literal monkey on a literal typewriter.

Also, I didn't say "correlated with intelligence", what I said was more of a cut-off threshold — asserting that one cannot be an actual moron given writing coherently on that scale is more of a boolean than a correlation.

I do need to write more (my own attempt at a novel has been stalled at "why can't I ever be satisfied with how I lead into the dramatic showdown!" for some years now, as none of my attempts have pleased me once written); but as for reading? Well, if you think my taste must result from insufficient breadth and depth, I must wonder what you think of Arthur C. Clarke, Francis Bacon, Larry Niven, Alexandre Dumas, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Neal Stephenson, Robert Heinlein, Alastair Reynolds, Isaac Asimov, Carl Jung, … I'm going to stop there rather than enumerate my whole library, but I can critique each in a different way without resorting to calling them playground insults, even the ones I dislike.

But I will say it was interesting to contrast Chris Hadfield's "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" with Richard Wiseman's "Shoot for the Moon" — or H. G. Wells with Jules Verne.
I tried it straightaway, because I use the Dictate app to speech-to-text out essays during walks (next to river & wind etc.) rather than typing in enclosed office (a massive impact, I’ve “wrote” 3-4 essays this month vs 0-1 last month).

Problem is the voice app’s export feature is only available on email. Technically I can copy the text and put it on Notion, but it’s so many clicks so I’ve been sending it to my own email. The essays are now dispersed in my inbox and I’m still dreading the day to collect them (the essays articulated important insights that were encouraging to me as a solo founder)

From now I will try sending emails to your API email address for my future voice essays, then organize them on your web UI

It's possible. Donations don't have to be public. We live in a world where it pays back to be liked, so people imitate it superficially, often with ulterior motives.

Steve Jobs is popularly known as a "stingy jerk" but actually he's made many private donations, and through Apple, while explicitly keeping it away form the public eye. He's donated over $50 million to Stanford hospitals and has contributed to many other charitable projects, but opting to be involved rather than just give money and forget about it. A lot of this only became known after his death.

True charity is hard. As it's about results, not intent. That's true virtue. Intent is cheap, even if it involves billions, because donations unless tracked through to the end, often disappear in various pockets having nothing to do with the intended cause.
Look at the verbiage. This system superficially cares about the 'appearance' of justice. This guy is doing the Fed's 85%. If he gets out early for health/etc reasons, he will be on home confinement until he does his 85%. If they re-adjust his sentence they will have to find a pretty specific pigeon hole to use because the Feds HATE setting precedents that can be used by others to reduce their time.
I just realized it was open last weekend. It was still under construction when I was there for Christmas. I'm planning to go when I can take my wife.

Highly recommend the Fall of Civilizations podcast episode on the Bronze Age Collapse to learn more about the Sea-Peoples (https://youtu.be/B965f8AcNbw?list=PLR7yrLMHm11XAuYuZMPHPn9Hz...) . They discuss how the Sea-Peoples may be a symptom and a cause of the bronze age collapse, and the whole episode is extremely engaging and educational. (As all the episodes of this podcast are, cannot recommend it enough)

Interesting, haven’t heard this viewpoint before of Rust being a drop in replacement for Java. From my limited experience with Rust it felt like the learning curve was way steeper than when I was learning Java for my previous job. Good point on C though, one of my old CS instructors would always call C his swiss army knife since its so small he had practically the entire syntax in his head.
TikTok is bringing its dedicated STEM feed to Europe
Everyone seems to be asking how AI is going to fit in the current paradigm - creating or destroying jobs and so forth - but I don't see a ton of folks talking about something I feel is patently obvious; that the most relevant applications of this stuff are going to exist outside the "company hire people to make product / give service and sell service" cycle.

Yes, AI will lower the barrier for entry level positions (IMO a good thing; more chances for smart creative people to get in the game who may have been failed by more traditional systems). But it will also allow the creation of projects by much smaller teams, who no longer need to stress the details and have a focus on making a thing just to try it out.

Individuals will be able to get much more experimental and iterate way faster; if the amount of investment to build an MVP is less than the investment to research and assess all that crap that usually has to go into a commercial product (market fit, funding, marketing, sales, etc.) then you can just make the damn thing and see if the pasta sticks to the wall. This could be a really great environment for testing out weird ideas, some of which might be completely novel and break the mold in ways that are simply not feasible if you have to manage all that other stuff.

I'm also excited to see what new stuff pops into the OSS space as a result of devs-with-jobs being able to hack out a proof of concept in a couple hours and smacking some stuff together over weekends.

Ask HN: Is the num of posts in the "Who's Hiring" post indicative of anything?
I noticed the number of comments in this month's "Who's hiring" post is unusually low with only 168 or so comments today. That's by far the lowest of any month I spot checked going back 5 years or so.

Back in 2019-2021 (with exception of early pandemic times) most months got around 1000 posts. Then I can see after the rate hikes around early 2022 when the market started going south most posts got around 600-700 or so.

Then 2023 I see around 500 or so posts each month, and this year most posts under 500 and then today, though still with some time, absolutely tanked.
First-time founder here!

I have always worked as a developer and have been building products for the past 6 years. But as a founder, you need to know GTM and growth for your product!

Initially, we used to think that we could outsource, but we were so wrong! :D
Hence, now learning it on our own.

Happy to take help and suggestions, or if you are up for the discussion around growth, GTM and marketing.

elvex (https://www.elvex.ai/) | Senior Product Engineer | $150k-$210k USD equity, benefits | Remote (PST - AST preferred, but can make exceptions)

Mike here, the CTO at elvex. elvex is making generative AI accessible, useful and secure for enterprise teams. We’re helping non-technical users join what we truly believe is a revolution in computing. In the future elvex will power >50% of all AI apps inside a company.

Prior to elvex, our founding team (4 people currently) launched, scaled and sold Parse.ly to Automattic in their largest ever acquisition by cost and revenue (Automattic makes and maintains WordPress).

We’re looking to hire our next Senior Product Engineer. Senior Product Engineers are full-stack at elvex and are given a lot of autonomy to solve both customer and engineering-oriented problems directly.

If you join us, you’ll be employee number 5 overall and will have big impact on the trajectory of the company, culture and product. We are working with a host of very large B2B customers and solving real problems for them with our platform and looking to commercialize later in 2024.

You should be an expert in web app development with deep familiarity with one or more of: Django/Flask/FastAPI and React/Vue/Svelte. You should also love playing at the very edge of innovation as that’s where we are with generative AI at the moment. Is RAG the killer gen AI use case? Is the best UI we can do really just chat? How do we move beyond cool prototypes to production-scale use cases?

Apply via https://careers.elvex.ai/jobs/32372-senior-product-engineer or email me mike@elvex.ai with any questions or if you wanted to add a personal note.

> Consider lower_bound. The behaviour is undefined if the input is not sorted. That's just the way it is.

No, it's a classic WG21 choice in that it's pointlessly worse, that's not "the way it is" it's just the way WG21 decided to define it in C++. More reasonable choices would obviously include the choice made over in std::set where lower_bound gives you a past-the-end iterator if there isn't an apparent answer for your inputs.

Undefined Behaviour is the worst choice, which is why in a horrible way it makes sense as WG21's default - a group known for always choosing bad defaults.

> You can't magically make a program well-formed if you breach preconditions

Of course you can, it's not even hard.

I feel like if you go down any nutritional / medical rabbit hole deep enough, you'll find videos making outrageous claims. And that's not because one topic or another is true or false or bullshit but it's because that's how people are able to make money. By making these false amazing claims, more people watch and give views. Outrageous claims are made because they are the optimal solution to the problem : making money.
Good points, I would say that defense in depth is useful when the layers of defense need to all be broken (more or less) independently for a successful attack (this fails only if you add layers that expose vulnerabities compromising your system). E.g. usually a sandbox satisfies this criterion.

Also, whenever some layers may allow compromising everything, the supply chains of the layers should be minimal or correlated (same supplier), to avoid increasing such supply chain risks.
The most charitable thing I can say about this is that it’s likely wrong.

Nope! I utilize env files for all of my password/privileged settings.

That then loads the credential from the environment instead of command line.
