It's still about good habits and modelling good behavior.

Millions of dollars of research goes into making Doritos and Coca Cola hyper palatable yet it's been 5 years since I tasted either of them.

It's more holistic than just telling your kids to not eat Doritos. You have to inculcate skills and decision making. Such as the ability to cook delicious food. The ability to meal plan and shop accordingly. If you have no idea how to cook, no cultural norms about eating out only once in a while as a treat rather than a habit, then when you're hungry you'll jump for the packet of chips.

Unfortunately not only are we slowly forgetting these skills, we also come up with galaxy brained theories about why that's a good thing.

I've interpreted this argument as a type of cope from leftist types who want to use their phones a bunch and not feel guilty (or alternatively, they have no opinion about phones and just want to use this as a springboard for a political jab)
> I think if the the config is unchangeable, all ways to change the config (e.g. don't reload config on demon restart etc.) should be considered.

What? The goal isn't to make the configuration unchangeable, it's to ensure that all configuration changes go through the configuration management system. You need to have a reload option that reloads the configuration from disk.

This is not something that's just useful for cloud companies btw, it's useful in any scenario where you're doing configuration/change management.
I use it all the time, and there's also a few classes at my uni that use Jax. It's really great for experimentation and research, you can do a lot of things in Jax you just can't in, say, PyTorch.
You should probably try building a pure capability based operating system and making it usable, before blithely saying the entire industry got security wrong. Capabilities aren't magic. UNIX has had many forms of capability for a long time, NeXT/macOS/iOS uses them extensively as well, and there are still vulnerabilities regardless.

Also, capabilities are irrelevant to the types of hack being discussed on this thread where the vectors are forgotten admin accounts, non-patched software, etc.
Great work! I’ve worked on the same problem and used LLM to extract feed into structured data (in my case have to use a more affordable model like GPT3.5 for a Saas app, looking at llama3 now)

Have you thought about automatically extract schema?

Mike Masnick has written a review of Haidt's book, and it's a nice rebuttal to each of these arguments.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-coddling-of-the-american-p...

One of the points he makes -- and that I don't see much discussed when it comes to Haidt's work -- is that Haidt's prescriptions for a solution are dangerous. If Haidt is wrong, one of the most unsettling consequences of relying on his solutions is that we stop looking for the real causes of any degradation in childhood mental health. Even if he's right, his solutions will have all sorts of unintended consequences, including loss of privacy on the internet, lack of access by children to resources that are in fact helpful to their mental health, and violations of various legal and constitutional human rights frameworks.
Where are the mandatory "Hello Word!" and Fibbonacci examples? I tried looking in the docs, but I coundn't find a big enough example.

I'm not claiming it requires worldwide acts of magic to explain. I'm saying that worldwide stories are evidence for a worldwide floor, not evidence against it.

You're being down voted but you're right.

You need a support system to be able to model good behavior. If you barely have energy to make it to bed at night then you definitely won't have energy to entertain a hyperactive toddler. Things like having grandparents help raise kids and spend time with them instead of turning on YouTube can help.
I wonder if employers will be more receptive to regular breaks for knowledge workers who are mostly sedentary. One befits of working from home before being mandated back to the office was being able to go on a walk during lunch and less-critical meetings.
Gating access is compartmentalisation. If you're being brought onto, say, missile development, you absolutely will have to submit to both vetting (knowing who you are prior to access) and compartmentalisation (permitting access only to your relevant secrets throughout).

I'm not saying that just because you have some kind of clearance you will get access to everything, but it's part of the preconditions to your own relevant access.
Ask HN: Underrated HN Posts and Comments
There are many HN posts and comments that don't seem to be deserving the attention they ought to receive.

It would be great to look at them again with a different perspective.
Local governments shouldn’t be allowed to remove people from public spaces for any reason. There must be a justification, the people must be violating a law.

The core of this issue is not about “whether or not local governments are allowed to remove people from public spaces”, it’s “under what scenarios are local governments allowed to remove people from public spaces”. Even if they rule in favor of Johnson, there will still be many scenarios that allow a government to remove people from public spaces.

Your muscles atrophy if you don't use them. A 60 year old power lifter is stronger than a 30 year old who never lifts. On average people lose around 5% of their muscle mass per decade after 30; someone with twice as much muscle mass at 30 is still going to have more muscle mass at 60 than the person who started at 30 with half as much muscle mass.
Yeah, while I understand rewrite-based iterations, and have certainly done them before, they've gotten less and less common over time because I'm thinking about projects at higher levels than I used to. The final design is more and more often what I already have in my head before I start.

I never hold all the code designed in my head at once, but it's more like multiple linked thoughts. One idea for the overall structure composed of multiple smaller pieces, then the smaller pieces each have their own design that I can individually hold in my head. Often recursively down, depending on how big the given project is and how much it naturally breaks down. There's certainly unknowns or bugs as I go, but it's usually more like handling an edge case than anything wrong with the design that ends in a rewrite.
IMO its far too technical for an actual child to want to get into. Starting at a higher level of abstraction would be easier for them
Three.js and React, yet not R3F - curious why?

I really like how you organized your project. As someone who's developed with Three.js for years both imperatively and in a highly-declarative way using R3F I'm always interested to see different approaches to architecture/organization.
I'd say everything you described is true of vim as well, especially nowadays with LSP and tree-sitter and async capabilities in plugins. The plugin ecosystem is thriving. Neovim's lua api makes it even easier to develop plugins.

It does take a fair bit of configuration if you want to start from scratch, but there's also distributions (such as LazyVim [1]) which make it trivial to start from an editor basically as fully featured as VScode.

Of course, there's still the learning curve for a modal editor, but that's the whole point of using vim. I assume there are vi-style plugins for VScode, but then you're missing out on performance.

> we need to ensure that kids can safely go outside and play or go places without parents having to follow them 24/7 like they could in past generations.

Where in the world is it unsafe for children to play outside? As far as I can see children don't play outside simply because they are not encouraged to.
I specifically said "and other licenses", so why would you respond, as if I acted as if GPL was the only license?

No matter. One entity doesn't get to unilaterally redefine a century old term. You claim you want precision, well then specify OSI, a subset of open source.

(And yes, the licenses it approves are indeed a subset.)
This is pretty cool, but why not use neovim or emacs or something?
They have, and the reality is that it's simply wrong that such services exist. It's a delusion. People want to believe such services exist, and in practice they have limits of 30 or 60 days in the very best of cases.

Yeah, that's how I understand it. Applies to mobile code as well.
as long as people wish governing powers to include that ability, that's the way. you find that most (all?) jurisdictions include provisions to remove people from public spaces.
Silicon aside, it really seems that China of all places should be all in on replacing Windows as the defacto standard OS. Everything in the country runs on Windows (even the police stations use it) and the ubiquitous apps like WeChat, WeCom, Tencent Meeting etc, only have Windows, Mac and phone clients.
Previously commented with some other details.

TL;DR: It's an old PhD project that requires custom patches to an ancient kernel version. So I guess you can't download it, and even if you could it wouldn't work on any system you'd want to use today:

> We combined nilfs + our process snapshotting tech (we tried to mainline it, but it didn't go, but many of the concepts ended up in CRIU though) + our remote display + screen reading tech (i.e. normal APIs) to create an environment that could record everything you ever saw visually and textually. enable you to search it and enable you to recreate the state as it was at that time with non noticeable interruption to the user (processes downtime was like 0.02s).

> sadly (as with much work form phd students like I was), the closest one could get to it today is trying to duplicate it.
i.e. combining criu with nilfs (but a lot of the work that we did to get process downtime to minimal numbers requires being in kernel, as described in paper) and unsure criu can do it.

> In addition our screenrecording mechanism was our own "proprietary" (not really proprietary as fully described in research papers, but also not a standard) and something that was built as an X display driver 15 years ago (so not directly usable today even if code is available). Could probably duplicate it with vnc based screencasting. vnc didn't work for us as we needed better performance (i.e. it was built to demonstrate remote display of video and games and there was no real remote audio setup back then so we had to create our own).

> the "text" search just used gnome's accessible API much like a screenreader would do (with a bit of per application optimizations as can filter out things like menus and the like, primarily was to dump text out of terminals, firefox and perhaps open office and maybe even a pdf reader if memory serves me correctly, but a long time ago).

I've been looking into it myself though, mostly for forensic concerns (capturing state/evidence in a way that's harder to forge than screenshots). Hopefully, running the desktop environment through VNC and then running `criu dump --leave-stopped --prev-images-dir …` immediately followed by `mkcp --snapshot …` (or `btrfs subvolume snapshot …` would also work, I guess) would be enough for basic functionality.

You see this often with middle class city people in their late 20s and 30s.

You go from being athletic in high school and walking all day in college to suddenly being in your prime dating age, regularly out eating and drinking with friends or dates, hitting 2-3 cocktails a few nights a week. You start investing more into your ultra-sedentary career, which you drive to, which constantly requires more of your time to get that next promotion. You are unable to have healthy home cooking, instead replacing it with restaurant work lunches and happy hours with your coworkers.

In addition, as you make more money, that enables even more convenience. Amazon delivers you products, no need to leave the house. Instacart delivers you groceries, no need to even go to the corner store. Doordash always at the ready to indulge every craving. Uber will happily save you every step you choose not to take.

All of that quickly adds up way before you even hit your 40s, and many will claim that it's their metabolism, when in reality it's 100% a result of a dramatic lifestyle change.
I am following the thread that initiates with a parent comment. Please let me know where I am wrong or unfocused on the topic and we can continue from there.
I'd encourage you to just write the function. It's ultimately just two encodings of the same data. You can figure things out from the wikipedia pages for utf-8 and utf-16.
I was wondering what the answer would be, because it's a hard problem. There was only the half answer of "they have experience".

The best answer I heard is that only domain experts have a chance to recognize each other. Other than that you are left with secondary signals like other people paying them for their expertise.
Interesting. Do you have sources of him recommending those specific solutions? I’m curious to read his rationale.
Yes.

And I even have the onstar antenna unplugged, although I didn't use a resistor, so it still receives very very strong signals.
But AWS alternatives ARE just a smattering of open source stuff.

Getting everything into AWS doesn't solve anything by itself, either. Then they'd still need to get everything off of windows, office, exchange, AD, etc. etc. Which is a ridiculous amount of work and they'd be fighting bugs and issues for years and years at their scale.
But when does anyone actually use a one-hot encoding as a vector space? They are used as a lookup table into a different representation, and the one-hit encoding is there to simplify mathematical description, not to be used as a vector space. Or have you experienced systems where people use one-hit encodings?

While I would agree that technically, in terms of raw dimensionality, a one-hit encoding is larger dimension than the embedding, that would be a "lower" dimensionality, not "low" dimensionality. Who uses "low" as an absolute term when referring to 300-2000 dimensions?
Yeah imagine if there was an editor that was super fast and lightweight that was designed with extendability as a first class citizen.

I think 'hosted' has two meanings in this context which may be adding to your confusion. Clearly your own example refers to a 'host' server which you can connect to and can run scripts dynamically. GitHub pages is a static site service. Essentially you load your site into a CDN cache and serve from there. You don't really have a 'host' to connect to at all.

He opens the top drawer of his desk to show me: “I usually have a bunch of nuts here, and…” There, in a red wrapper, is a big bar of dark chocolate. “I recommend a minimum of 70 percent [cocoa],” he says. High-fat foods. And the jar next to the desk, with a spoon beside it?

Raw coconut butter. Loads of fat. Does he spread it on something? “No, just eat a couple of spoonfuls in the middle of the afternoon.”

You seem to have a worldview that says simply speaking of race is racist, even if people are speaking up to address racial injustice. You then preclude that possibility by saying that there's no longer such a thing as racial injustice.

OTOH, if someone holds deeply racist beliefs, it's somehow not racist unless they direct racist words or behaviors explicitly and overtly at you personally.

In your world, racist ideas stay contained as long as they're never uttered in a personal interaction. They never influence networks, opportunities or systems. And, there's no legacy from centuries of codified racism with which to contend.

No. As long as we never mention race aloud in a personal interaction, then everything is OK.

It's...not very coherent or realistic.

> Two people owning identical flats, one with a 90% mortgage at 5%, one with no mortgage at all, will charge exactly the same rent.

Flats in different buildings are not identical, and will generally have different rents; the difference in management charge is one factor that will determine this.
I agree and I think a lot of 'solutions' are going to fail until the people involved acknowledge that kindness and empathy aren't enough. By most accounts there are a lot of homeless people who are living pretty comfortably as far as they're concerned.

> I don't understand how local governments could possibly lack the authority to remove people from public spaces.

We seem to forget these days that we (very thankfully) have rights and live in a free country that recognizes them. People are free individuals, at liberty to do as they please unless there is some strong reason to stop them that is also constitutional, lawful, and follows due process. 'I don't like them' and 'they look/smell/talk funny' aren't sufficient reasons.

I don't see how local government has the authority to remove someone from public space except in very limited circumstances. Public space is not the property of local government. You have a right to do what you want there.
