This is insightful. Software is forcing a sub-optimal process which cannot be improved onto a company.
Hi! I'm the guy who made Dot. I remember experimenting with a few different vector stores in the early stages of the project but decided to settle with FAISS. I mainly chose it because it made it easy to perform the whole embedding process locally and also because it allows to merge vector stores which is what I use to load multiple types of documents at once. But I am definately not an expert on the topic and would really appreciate suggestions on other alternatives that might work better! :)

It looks like the general trend of truncating nouns down to the verb they're based on instead of requiring the noun-ified form. You may have seen these:

1) an invitation to the party -> an invite to the party

2) I like that quotation. -> I like that quote.

3) I gave him a consultation. -> I gave him a consult.

You could even count:

4) What's the request? -> What's the ask?

Also, broken English seen on receptacle in China:

5) "The environment needs your conserve." (instead of "conservation")

A lot of people love Jellyfin, and it’s very clean and works well, but I find that a lot of media types don’t work. I never have any problems with kodi and all sorts of video media, but it’s definitely more bloated than jellyfin. Kodi just works but Jellyfin seems cleaner with the occasional format issue.

Family used plex cause that’s the easiest, but lots of concerns about the way the company is going and privacy. It doesn’t bother me but you should read about it.
There is always a time where a harmful substance is introduced, suspicions develop, and data is inconclusive. As I mentioned, that may be where we are with PFAs.

But for each of these there are dozens of examples where people are hysterical about some new substance, correlations are shown, and it turns out to be nothing. We could be there with low level exposure to PFAs too.

With asbestos, like with cigarettes, there was a form of cancer that almost only appears in people exposed to it. That’s a solid smoking gin that’s totally absent here.

E-ink screen zooming is still much slower than any LCD. There is no way around it. Some readers like Boox have settings for faster refresh rates, but it won't be comparable to a regular tablet.

The solution is to get an e-ink tablet that has a screen size and aspect ratio similar to 8.5 x 11 letter size paper. That is close to the size that PDFs and magazine pages are printed at.

I’ll stand corrected. I’m not a native English speaker and when I saw “can not” it immediately reminded me of my school teacher in Europe who was very particular about these things and teaching us as wrong. Even as I typed my response now my iPhone tries to autocorrect it to cannot, so I genuinely thought it was wrong. TIL I guess.

I've seen compromised iot devices used to run proxy servers. They are mostly resold on black market as residential IPs for web scrapping and such. Since there is a black market for it they mostly get resold, instead of put to use on the free TOR network I guess.

Residential ISPs usually monitor the blacklisting of their IP addresses and will contact/suspend the customer once the IPs get listed on public black lists.

>> But a lot of it was simply due to the fact that interest rates were really low, so it was a lot easier for the government to carry a larger amount of debt.

This is a simplistic explanation. IMHO deficit spending allows the party in power to achieve current wins and stick the bill to someone else in the future. Even politicians ardently opposed to deficit spending, magically forget about it all when they get into power and run up the debt (this has happened thru every US administration I remember) -- so why would anyone work hard for austerity?

It becomes especially hard to balance budgets when common citizens see wealthy individuals seemingly get away w/o paying much in taxes. It becomes yet harder to not go into deficits for seemingly important things like infrastructure when we see so much money spent overseas.

Think about it at the micro level -- imagine my wife and I have a credit card. We agree we spend no more than $1000/mo. Then, I just go wild and overspend. What incentive does she have, in such a case, to be careful with money, pack lunch, fill up water bottles. Just spend! Buy lunch, buy coffee, buy disposable water bottles, etc.

Isn't the knob keyboard ... a keyboard? I was referring to electronic kits for learning.
Actually on 3 hosts, but only the primary is at the edge, one other is a hot-standby at another geographic location and the third is for incremental backup purposes via ZFS. The database sync connection are tunneled via Wireguard. Failover to the hot-standby is done via DNS (ClouDNS).
Also I run the setup in a Linux Container (LXC).

One more in line with standards of the open web like PWAs, while ignoring some of its pitfalls like excessive JavaScript usage (no bundle or minified JS or react to render a simple button).

I don’t really care that much about mixing and matching terms or really see how it’s important. I had fun building something I liked! Adding cyberpunk elements actually hides a lot of the jank inherent from loading every story from the HN API async and makes it look intentional, if somewhat kitch.

The broader argument here seems to be that brutalism needs to be a simple html page with minimal styling (like Craigslist). The thing is, this style in itself is somewhat kitch in the sense it is anachronistic and useless to most users. JavaScript has won so thoroughly, and improved so much, that I don’t see this so roach as useful behind very simple static content

Using open web standards to their full potential (including JavaScript) is much more brutalist, with the possible corollary that “neo-brutalism” might technically be more accurate

The other thing is, HN is only a static site and doesn’t function as an app or PWA
There are no comparable cross platform HN headers that can be installed as mobile or desktop apps written in 4000 likes of code

The transformer models handle multilingual directly.

For good old embedding models (eg. GLoVe), you have a few choices:

1. LASER as you mentioned. The performance tends to suck though.

2. Language prediction + one embedding model per supported language. Libraries like whichlang make this nice, and MUSE has embedding modes aligned per language for 100ish languages.

Fastembed is a good library for this.

Note that for most people, 32 dimension glove is all they need if you benchmark it.

As the length of the text you're embedding goes up, or as the specificity goes up (eg. You have only medical documents and want difference between them) you'll need richer embeddings (more dimensions, or a transformer model, or both)

People never benchmark their embeddings and I find it incredible how they end up with needlessly overenginneered systems.
Thank you for the write-up!

I did not know I have been erroneously omitting commas in English. In Slovenian, my native language, commas always delimit clauses in a sentence. We got that from German, which got it from Latin.

I still don't understand why English chose to omit commas in some cases. It just confuses the reader of larger sentences. In some fiction books the omission made some sentences completely unreadable. Granted, it was the author's fault but still... Why?
That's 245W vs 200W, 45W of difference, not even close to an order of magnitude more power draw...
Agreed, the reporting on this has been so poor. The wording of the rules and how we know Apple has enforced past similar rules makes it pretty likely to me this is for apps similar to the n64/snes app on the Switch Nintendo gives to their online service subscribers - "official" emulators with pre-packaged licensed ROMs or integrated licensed ROM downloads, not generic emulators loading loose ROM files from wherever.

Nintendo could even just offer iOS versions of those Switch apps (not that I expect this, but maybe??) under these rules.

On a short term view.

The problem is that keeping investors happy, it is keeping investors with a short term outlook happy.

If anything more than two years is too long term to care about, then the best strategy is to take risks and hope it does not catch up with you before then.

Above all, you should not be able to dump things in the environment which doesn't break down. They also accumulate in your body and is not possible to remove quickly. Moreover, they knew since the 70s [1] that it was probably harmful, but kept making it anyways pretending it was safe. There needs to be corporate responsibility for the cleanup, which may well bankrupt the compnay, and personal criminal responsibility for those who made the decision.

Frequency domain also makes the math really easy for linear, time-invariant operations, which (approximately) describe a lot of systems that exist in nature.

The Gibbs phenomenon, for example, falls out naturally from the IFT of a frequency response where all the frequencies above some cutoff are zero.

I'm curious how the square wave frequency domain would describe the Gibbs phenomenon -- I think you'd have harmonics of the fundamental square frequency showing up as if the system were nonlinear.

You should basically never use the openAI embeddings.

There isn't a single usecase where they're better than the free models, and they're slower, needlessly large, and outrageously expensive for what they are.

I first heard about this 0x20 scheme around 2015 when I was working on a DNS cache (also at Google, but not for the public DNS team). I noticed and had to work around the fact that some servers were responding in vixie-case even when the requests were not. Those servers would be broken if the requests were paying attention to 0x20, right? I wonder what software was doing that.

> If it doesn't make sense then you apparently haven't come to terms with the fact that capitalism is a zero sum endeavor

How ignorant do you have to be to still say that in 2024? We literally spent the last century conducting worldwide social experiments to show exactly the opposite. At this point objecting to capitalism itself (I’m not talking more or less regulation within a capitalist system) is like being a flat-earther.

Leftist westerners loved my home country—as an object of their virtuous pity—when it was socialist. You’d see commercials begging for $1/day to feed people. Thanks to capitalism the country has changed completely in the last two decades. Vietnam and China both abandoned communism for capitalism and their prosperity soared.
This would be boring and also not function as a mobile/desktop app you can read the source code of
I would argue it does much more so functionally because my constraint was building something cross platform with no libraries, one html file, that can also be installed as an app on all devices
So perhaps less in the most absolute sense regarding the UI, but in the overall approach it does
That doesn't appear to be well enforced as otherwise companies wouldn't be able to get away (or at least maybe receive a fine at some point) with illegal activity. If a company is illegally dumping chemicals into the water, then there has to have been at least one instance where a higher up instructed employees to do so.

I took a different view in the sense I wasn’t trying to emulate the original site so much as I built a PWA that also works as mobile app and desktop app in around ~4400 lines of code
I think my definition is better and much more inline with what most users want and how open web standards actually work
Pure HTML sites with no JavaScript are to archaic and web technologies have improved significantly.
A better standard of comparison is current HN mobile and desktop apps, or other popular websites that use large frameworks and obscure their functionality to end users
Beyond this, I made a HN reader for the way I personally browse HN with absolute minimal lines of code and maximal cross platform utility so I can use this on desktop, mobile, my iPad, etc.
I really don’t care that much about adhering to pedantic definitions of brutalism and a lot more about making something that I like using

It seems strange that you would even consider using pm2 still if you have all of that other stuff.

I use it to avoid the complexity of those things since my operational needs are usually very modest.
The point is that this would cost the same or even more than a customized mechanical keyboard.
> I tend to expect private individuals to seek targets with a higher expected value.

If you're a very skilled and dedicated hacker, what other targets do you have that can net you many millions of dollars?

> or an individual with a motive other than profit

Isn't one of the most striking things about the hacker community the extreme amounts of time and effort that are put into things that are not expected to generate any profit?

I mean, there are people who spend all their free time over several decades just digging tunnels under their property. Or build a 6502 CPU from discrete transistors. Etc.
So it's okay to expose people to whatever might kill them and only do something decades later when proof overwhelms companies and politicians trying their best to do nothing in the name of profit?
The thing is this page couldn’t be made with just HTML
It could be generated on a server, but that server would be doing a version of what the HN API already does for free
That also wouldn’t function as a progressive web app and work as a mobile app, which I think is how most actually people read HN

The real world is much more complicated that mathematical models.

But if your business goes bankrupt with probability 100% with even a simplified mathematical model, I wouldn't want to invest in it.
> I start to question why the pictures are necessary

I think I agree. My habit is to keep DDL in version control, one file per database object. If I'm interested in a table, column, or its relationships, I can grep for names, look at the files and see the datatypes, foreign keys, etc.

I can also by grepping find any stored procedure or function that references a table or column because the code for those is in version control also.

I've tried diagrams and while they are convenient at a fairly high level they can't really show you everything and become unweildy if they try. I've found them of such limited benefit that I just work with text/code. I might make a simple diagram if I have to present/talk about a change.

We just need to impart fear on the executives to not make harmful decisions. The first step is an independent investigation to let their names be known to the public. The system should then be able to self-correct.
Every single western society takes a different approach to drugs that people directly ingest and industrial chemicals that might build up in peoples’ bodies. The calculus seems to be that people would rather have better non-stick pans and are okay with a few more people dying from them. You might disagree with that, but OP is just stating what’s apparently common sense. That’s the exact opposite of “bad faith.”

I mean that’s pretty brutal you have to admit! The animation obscure this somewhat though
The HN api doesn’t allow for programmatically loading full chunks of stories, so one needs to use either lazy loading (I used intersection observers), or wait to load requests for N stories in parallel, which can be slow
The janky approach loads information to the user as fast as possible and the animations I do make this constraint of the API seem intentional for artistic effect
why isn't it? What prevents that?
I genuinely don't understand how you get from the sentence "You want a stack when you have an unhandled error and need to figure out what went wrong." to "You are saying we don't need stack traces". All I can suggest is that you re-read the thread more carefully.

To my knowledge, that’s not how we regulate industrial chemicals anywhere. I agree it probably should be. Those chemists are witch doctors.
UPDATE: I just double-checked and I see many errors like this:

Unresolved variable someFieldName

which are preceded by a RED round icon containing a '!'.

It certainly looks like an error because it is red and there are also other problems listed which are preceded by a yellow-background icon.

So I think WebStorm thinks this is an error, not a warning.
What you need to keep in mind that this is a PWA and functions as mobile/tablet/desktop app too

This is a lot more brutalist than needing to download an app from a restricted App Store that one can’t view the source code of without trusting a 3rd party

I built this really as a cross platform reader tailored to how I personally read HN
Unless you're opening companies on a daily basis to evade taxes or whatever, I fail to see why you would need the process to be that fast. Because with such short delays, nobody will have actually checked anything, so the only winners are fraudsters, in the end.
