Try clicking around https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src, which is built with Kythe (I believe, or perhaps it's using something internal to Google that Kythe is the open source version of).

By hooking into C++ compilation, Kythe is giving you things like _macro-aware_ navigation. Instead of trying to process raw source text off to the side, it's using the same data the compiler used to compile the code in the first place. So things like cross-references are "perfect", with no false positives in the results: Kythe knows the difference between two symbols in two different source files with the same name, whereas a search engine naively indexing source text, or even something with limited semantic knowledge like tree sitter, cannot perfectly make the distinction.
Except that it was engaged as stated in the Safety Test Report [1] and as seen in the raw footage [2]. Rather than acknowledging that a incomplete investigation with conflicting information demands waiting for confirmatory evidence such as the raw footage which would have demonstrated their assumptions on the validity of the test were false, they chose to immediately begin declaring it a smear campaign based on false tests.

They are not liars because they point out FSD was not engaged in portions of the ad. They are liars because they then straight up ignored evidence to the contrary and then assert, in confidence, that the tests were certainly fabricated and that FSD would never operate as demonstrated even though the video evidence that was forthcoming proved their assertions were completely and utterly wrong.

As to being unrepentant liars. Is a legitimate test demonstrating a critical safety defect in a consumer product a smear campaign? No. Have they retracted their false accusation that correctly exposing a critical safety defect is a smear campaign since they jumped the gun on their accusations before they did even a token investigation? No. Then it is a lie and they are unrepentant.

As to being willing to fabricate whatever is convenient. As soon as it became clear that FSD was enabled during those tests, the party line became that the only reason it happened was because the accelerator was pressed. This is false as can be seen in the current video. Then it became the only reason it happened was because the cones prevented a swerve. This is false as can be seen in the current video. Then it became the only reason it happened was because they steered into the child. This is false as can be seen in the current video. Every single one of these accusations was made because they thought the video could not disprove it and every single one has been proven to be false once the video setup was improved so it could disprove them.

The fact that people, to this day, still deliberately point back to the earliest videos because they can not find any way to lie about the current videos without getting caught is bad faith argumentation. To then argue the Dawn Project is untrustworthy because of false accusations made by liars is true grade A bad faith argumentation that needs to be nipped in the bud.

Hard drives weren't new in 1998. I don't even know where you'd have gotten a computer that lacked one by then; and most would also have had a CD-ROM drive.
The only reason I've held off on switching to Kobo is that I always switch back and forth between the audiobook and the text for what I'm reading. Kindle books make it seamless, but as far as I can tell, there's no audio-text sync in the Kobo ecosystem. Is that still accurate? Even if you use books bought from amazon/audible?
Thanks, I have no experience in big orgs. What I was trying to get across is a process like:

1) Marketing person wants to play with sensitive data

2) Prior to anything happening, security-aware person is notified

3) Same day, security-aware person deploys the data where the marketing person wanted it, with proper safeguards, hands-off access

Is it a crime to give a gun to a minor? I suspect not because America. The article says that they were convicted of involuntary manslaughter; does that feel appropriate? I can certainly see it that way, but it certainly looks to me like these people are being singled out because the US is not able to systematically address gun violence.
Russia provides him freedom he would not have if he had stayed in the US, and has provided him that freedom for over a decade. You're blaming Snowden for the US government's catastrophic governance failures. Maybe blame the abuser/criminal instead of the victim?
I don't want to live anywhere where I can see my neighbor. These people are choosing this lifestyle. These same people are a massive tax on society because we have to subsidize this lifestyle because it's very expensive to provide services to places where nobody lives. Why would you build a hospital where only 10,000 live? Why spend $5000 to drag fibre to someone's house so that they can pay $50/month for internet access? How can you afford to pave a road where one person has 800ft of frontage and pays $1500 a year in SALT?

Again, at the end of day this is a choice and their choice costs everyone. I can't really feel sorry for these people, it's what you get when you want to go it alone.
“More mature (at the time) APIs”

I mean, while nothing about the web was particularly mature at the time, the idea that Windows was more mature than Linux for it is… peculiar, from the point of view of someone who was messing around with web programming at the time. Note how much difficulty Microsoft had migrating Hotmail to Windows.
It's not just that. Livegrep isn't just a pale imitation of something inside Google. It's totally unrelated in implementation, capabilities, and use case.

I have an old Kobo Glo HD that I bought in 2015. The battery no longer holds a charge, so I opened it and removed the battery.

Since a lot of Kobo fans seem to be ITT, does anyone know where I can buy a replacement battery for my Kobo Glo HD?

I mean, obviously I could randomly pick one from AliExpress like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003176213860.html

But I would like recommendations about specific sellers, from fellow Kobo users who have bought from those sellers and replaced the battery in their own Kobo.

Show HN: Next-token prediction in JavaScript
What inspired this project today was watching this amazing video by 3Blue1Brown called "But what is a GPT?" on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZofJX0v4M - I highly recommend watching it). I added it to the repo for reference.

When it clicked in my head that "knowing a fact" is nearly synonymous with predicting a word (or series of words), I wanted to put it to the test, because it seemed so simple. I chose JavaScript because I can exploit the way it structures objects to aid in the modeling of language.

For example:

"I want to be at the beach",
"I will do it later",
"I want to know the answer",
...

becomes:

{
I: {
want: {
to: {
be: { ... },
know: { ... }
}
},
will: { ... }
},
...
}

in JavaScript. You can exploit the language's fast object lookup speed to find known sentences this way, rather than recursively searching text - which is the convention and would take forever or not work at all considering there are several full books loaded in by default (and it could support many more).

Accompanying research yielded learnings about what "tokens" and "embeddings" are, what is meant by "training", and most of the rest - though I'm still learning jargon. I wrote a script to iterate over every single word of every single book to rank how likely it is that word will appear next, if given a cursor, and extended that to rank entire phrases. The base decoder started out what I'll call "token-agnostic" - didn't care if you were looking for the next letter... word... pixel... it's the same logic. But actually it's not, and it soon evolved into a text (language) model. But I have plans to get into image generation next (next-pixel prediction), using this. Overall the concepts are similar, but there are differences primarily around extraction and formatting.

Goals of the project:

- Demystify LLMs for people, show that it's just regular code that does normal stuff

- Actually make a pretty good LLM in JavaScript, with a version at least capable of running in a browser tab

There is no magic loophole, but I don't see how this would get "sued into oblivion". There is no "central instance", so even if someone sets up a server which starts to make copyrighted material available publicly, only that server would receive nastygrams and/or be ejected by the hosting provider.

And those that really want to circumvent the law could just set this up in a place which offers more protections. If someone sets up an instance on 1984.hosting and uses a domain from njal.la... how would anyone be able to take it down?

Geo weren't rebadged, they were built in California. Geo and its NUMMI plant was a strange collaboration between Toyota and GM (even the Geo logo had both Toyota's lines and GM's Chevrolet "bow tie"). Which is more important to note that Geo entirely existed because GM realized it had entirely forgot how to make smaller cars and begged Toyota to teach it its ways, years after Honda and Toyota were winning hearts and minds.

It can depend - some things, like content related issues may require triaging which can take some time to do.

Testing PR's and confirming that the behavior is correct is actually one of the best things people can do to help - that's something we're always short on.

For most of the code, as long as you can justify the change, it makes sense, and it's in line with the style standard, it'll probably not be an issue
I highly doubt that anyone cares about you, specifically, enough, to be ‘shoving this down your throat’.
Plenty of people have been enjoying this category of software.
Sorry to hear that you don’t like it. That doesn’t mean that the world agrees with you.
When Volvo created the three-point safety belt (still in use today), they patented their invention. And then, recognizing the importance of this great improvement in safety, they absolutely gave it away for free.

When SawStop created a meat-detecting brake for table saws, they patented their invention. And then, they refused to give it away, sued the begeezus out of anyone who tried to emulate their patented inventions, and eventually paid lip-service to the concept by offering to license one aspect of it for free.

Can you spot the difference?

Not sure but I think it will be more focused on offline life instead. AI and enshittification will make the internet and the core error in its monetization based on ads so bad that it will be replaced by a much smaller and more private version.

Interesting. I did not realize it is such a problem in JVM.
EDIT: in Go, not JVM, somehow it is always Go having trouble with systems programming domain.

In .NET, this does not seem to be a performance issue, in fact, it is used by almost all performance-sensitive code to match or outperform C++ when e.g. writing SIMD code.

There are roughly three ways to pass data by reference:

- Object references (which work the same way as in JVM, compressed pointers notwithstanding)

- Unsafe pointers

- Byref pointers

While object references don't need explanation, the way the last two work is important.

Unsafe pointers (T*) are plain C pointers and are ignored by GC. They can originate from unmanaged memory (FFI, NativeMemory.Alloc, stack, etc.) or objects (fixed statement and/or other unsafe means). On an occasion a pointer into object interior (e.g. byte* from byte[], or MyStruct* from MyStruct field in an object) is required, such object is pinned by setting the bit in object header which is coincidentally used by GC during mark phase (concurrent or otherwise) to indicate live objects. When an object is pinned in this way, GC will not move it during relocation and/or compaction GC phase (again, concurrent or otherwise, not every GC is stop-the-world). In fact, objects are moved when GC deems so to be profitable, either by moving to a heap belonging to a different generation or by performing heap compaction when a combination of heuristics prompts it to reduce fragmentation. Over the years, numerous improvements to GC have been made to reduce the cost of object pinning to the point that it is never a concern today. Part because of those improvements, part because of the next feature.

Byref pointers (ref T) are like regular unsafe pointers except they are specially tracked by GC to allow to point to object interiors without writing unsafe code or having to pin the object. You can still write unsafe code with them by doing "byref arithmetics", which CoreLib and other performance sensitive code does (I'm writing a UTF-8 string library which heavily relies on that for performance), and they also allow to point to arbitrary non-object memory like regular unsafe pointers do - stack, FFI, NativeMemory.Alloc, etc. They are what Span<T> is based on (internally it is ref T + int length) allowing to wrap arbitrary memory ranges in a slice-like type which can then be safely consumed by all standard library APIs (you can int.Parse a Span<byte> slice from stack-allocated buffer, FFI call or a byte[] array without any overhead). Byref pointers can also be pinned by being stored in a stack frame location for pinned addresses, which GC is aware of. For stack and unmanaged memory this is a no-op and for object memory this only matters during GC itself. Of course nothing is ever free in software engineering but the overhead of byrefs is considered to be insignificant compared to object pinning.
Sorry, I don't understand your comment.

Build integration is not the main thing that is missing between Livegrep and Code Search. The main thing that is missing is the semantic index. Kythe knows the difference between this::fn(int) and this::fn(double) and that::fn(double) and so on. So you can find all the callers of the nullary constructor of some class, without false positives of the callers of the copy constructor or the move constructor. Livegrep simply doesn't have that ability at all. Livegrep is what it says it is on the box: grep.

> Fight fans _like_ seeing heads get punched, and they like seeing knock outs.

I think that's a huge symptom of my point. You can strip out tackles from football and make MMA way safer, but the large MMA competitions are popular because they're closer to two people doing whatever they can to win a fight than something more restrictive, like karate or wrestling. As you mention, the fans will be pissed at safening the sport, and I'd almost bet money that the vast majority of the fighters would be pissed as well -- just like I've seen plenty of coworkers and workers in other industries get angry at OSHA regulations, even the ones that are as ridiculously straightforward as labeling the bottle of formaldehyde so someone doesn't spritz it around a clinic.
The problem is "lower my taxes" single issue voters. People vote for whomever lowers taxes and then complain about potholes. It's always the same people. GOVERNMENT IS INCOMPETENT BLAH BLAH. Yeah, cause you refuse to fund it and everything goes to shit, then is 10x more expensive to fix it compared to properly funding maintenance. You end up paying more in the end because these people can't see past the couple hundred dollars they saved on their property taxes and wonder why everything is turning to shit.
Banks don't have that limitation for creating credit/money [1].
Technically, they just need to extend the balance sheet. Limitations are rather that they need to find good projects that yield enough returns to cover the interest rate.

I think this is yet another good example of thinking with double entry bookkeeping.

Monolithic die?
Basically yes.

If I was smart about it I'd get one of those YouTube downloader scripts and attach it to something that puts on metadata and do it all in one step.

I do it in bursts and frequently it is motivated by reading something about music, then looking up the music on YouTube and listening to it there for a while before I decide something is worth putting in the library.

For what it's worth I am not particularly interested in music that came out in the last year or so, not like I am fundamentally opposed to it, but given that the event horizon for decent music recordings is roughly 1965, I think there is more older music than I haven't heard yet than there is new music.

Also my approach is album and discography oriented partially because I really like listening to albums and partially because it's often easy to get a whole discography. So it is not like I am keeping track of tracks I like as much as it is albums and artists that I like.
There are several categories of mistake that you can make when bookkeeping. Some are caught by the double-entry system when a trial balance is prepared.

The error you've described is an "error of original entry" and will be invisible if you only look at the trial balance. It can ultimately be caught when you compare the banking ledger with what's actually in the bank.

Other errors that don't appear in the trial balance can be incredibly hard to detect and in fact, may never be noticed. This is where the real art of bookkeeping is IMO.

The types of errors that do affect the trial balance are things like forgetting to enter a purchase in the purchase ledger but entering the transaction into the banking ledger correctly. Silly errors really, but we can all need help to stop us making those.

This was effectively the claim made in the top-level comment; I responded to somebody countering that with weird claims about baling as if that's a typical activity for rural residents to engage in. But it's not, according to you and according to the data. What problem do you think this is showcasing?

There is a difference you neglected: nobody optimizes our society to eat less vegetables, or read less books, or to disregard new year's resolutions, so the responsibility is on us, whereas social media platforms do optimize for engagement, which implies showing us sensational and shallow content that grabs our attention, without giving us enough ways to control it, so responsibility is divided...

Detecting flesh using electricity probably dates back from the voltaic pile, more than 200 years ago.

But it wasn't used to stop sawblades. How to reliably detect flesh without too many false triggers, do it fast enough, on a spinning blade, and as part of a complete system that includes the brake and actuation mechanism. That's what the patent is about, not the vague idea of using electricity to detect flesh.
I see! I think it’s a good idea, and I personally think that would be a good and overall positive role!

However in my experience in a big org, #1 happens frequently enough where it basically would be needed at all times, and would need a security person (or entire team) dedicated solely to that purpose. And sadly in my experience, companies are not willing to spend the money, or able to hire enough security people, to have that level of a dedicated security concierge for every team that needs it.

If Nvidia gets to a point where they have to onboard their GPU to keep scaling, I don't see why they couldn't do it. They design their own SOC packages now, and have been integrating Nvidia IP into third-party chips for well over a decade. Once the need arises for "Nvidia Silicon" beyond what we see in Tegra and Grace, I wager we'll see it.

From a cynical perspective, Apple's focus on integrated graphics kinda kills any hope they had of scaling to Nvidia's datacenter market. I mean, just look at stuff like this: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/gb200-nvl72/

GB200 NVL72 connects 36 Grace CPUs and 72 Blackwell GPUs in a rack-scale design.

Tightly integrated packages do work wonders for low-power edge solutions, but it simply doesn't enable the sort of scaling Nvidia has pulled off as fast as they've done it. CUDA is certainly one aspect to it, but Apple had the opportunity to make their own CUDA competitor with OpenCL through Khronos. The real reason Apple can't beat Nvidia is because Apple cannot write an attractive datacenter contract to save their life. Nvidia has been doing it for years, and is responding to market demand faster than Apple can realize their mistakes.
