A really useful one for vi / vim users is:

$ set -o vi

Now you can edit the shell command lines (including the history) using vi / vim commands.

By default you will be in append mode.

You can press Esc to go back to command mode.

Then you can edit the current command using vi commands, and also go upward in the history using the k command, to edit any previous history line.

When done editing, hit Enter, and the edited command will be executed by the shell.

You can put the above set command in your .profile so that it always works.
Apple wants you to buy both (as with the iPad), and maybe more importantly wants the OS of new device categories to be much less open (more controllable) than macOS is. So that’s very unlikely.

Crossed 7's are fairly common among science majors in American universities. I also cross z's. Again, also fairly common among science majors. (Mine was chemistry.)
I do it on my portfolio site (https://www.bennyschmidt.com) in JavaScript by maintaining a `colCount` with each column just being `flex-direction: column`.

But after seeing this I should switch to using CSS. Didn't put too much thought into it, but when I realized it wasn't immediately simple in CSS grid just did it in JS.
You can not assume you can guess read-throughs based on reviews, is my first problem.

It's against their terms to buy reviews, but you still trivially can (and risk getting banned if Amazon suddenly decides to enforce their rules - it's not worth the risk), and plenty of "grey hat" review services exist that costs money and where the provider will "gift" the readers copies bought off Amazon, but where the readers aren't paid, and are at least in theory given instructions that somewhat tries to comply (or pretend to comply) with Amazon's rules. Wouldn't use that either.

If the reviews aren't verified, then ARC (advance reader copies) are also common and accepted by Amazon w/caveats (you need to be very careful about wording, and for KU it's against the terms for you to send the book out while it's exclusive to KU, but you can do it before, or pause KU), and a fairly large percentage who receive ARCs will leave reviews. ARCs is the norm in the publishing industry, and so anyone remotely decently prepared will line up reviewers that have no direct link to sales, and someone with a following somewhere can sometime line up fairly chunky numbers of reviews right off the bat.

But this means the ratio can be far lower. It's likely a lot of the early reviews will have come from free giveaways and early efforts that did not earn the author a single cent and might even have had a net cost.

Without knowing how the author in question promoted their book, it's a guess that could easily be off by a factor of ten. But it could also be better.

$200k is certainly possible. Just rare.

To do well on KU, people also usually focus on maximising page count. That means writing series, and pushing out "box sets" to encourage. It's a very different game from writing standalone novels, and one probably better suited to people already used to the webnovel/serials on Patreon game.

With respect to the Chinese web novel market, my son spends a fortune on it, but it's still a tiny sliver of overall publishing. I suspect it's likely to outpace the growth in the rest of the e-book market though.
Please upload source in an unzipped format. If the concern is about GitHub taking it down, use an alternative. There's plenty and many other ways to distribute source in an uncompressed manner.

Otherwise this is indistinguishable from a hack. How do I know these zips are secure? The mega and pixeldrain report different sizes. Rabbit is entirely about hype and a scam, how are we supposed to know this isn't the same nefarious ploy?

I appreciate what's being done and think it's good to call out these scams (I've done so myself) but help by building some trust. We understand the need for anonymity but a nefarious actor could just as easily mascaraed as the same repo. And if you do need files downloaded, provide hashes.

Hyperbole is well and good in fiction and personal opinion pieces. I suppose my, and parent commenter's issue, is that we expected a certain type of writing, but got another. And that's fine. I don't have a dog in this fight, but to me it went beyond hyperbole and into personal attack territory. I called it juvenile because the descriptors lack nuance in the same way that "management bad, programmer good" arguments do. Having spent quite a bit of time on both sides, it's pretty clear that motivations, incentives, and constraints are not black and white, so I'm a bit more sensitive when I see people mocked without having full context.
Yeah, had a similar experience with my undergrad in CS.

The expectaton at the college I went to was that each credit hour roughly maps to 1 hour of lecture + 3 hrs of work outside of class. That estimate wasn’t even for getting an A, that was just to pass a class with a C. Which sounds like a lot, and it was, but you gotta account that this would include weekends as well (thus leaving some amount of free time, because otherwise it would require pulling 16 hour weekdays).

It definitely builds character, and I absolutely would do it the exact same way if I had to go back in time. However, I wouldn’t recommend my school to anyone who wants to do premed, because your GPA will needlessly suffer, and GPA is one of the primary importance metrics for med school acceptance.
I really think this + the humane AI pin would be super interesting products if they made them hackable. The hardware is super cool, no problem if the software isn't there yet, it's not like they're being sold at Best Buy, I'm not worried about my mom acquiring one of these and getting her passwords leaked. Who cares if the auth flow is super hacky/insecure? Let us self host it! Let the community create more playwright scripts!
One of the problems is that creating (or just working on) a new framework is a lot more fun and creative than fixing issues in client code. Another problem is that software development is made hard by external factors (read: bad management) but there is this pervasive idea that once we have the right framework (or the right methodology, or ...) then it will finally be easy.

There is enough software to last us forever, but developers have to do something, anything. Creating new frameworks is 'make work', or is used to fleece clients. Or it was in the nineties, at least.

The ingredients to make the most basic form of life are well known. It will of course be a huge discovery if we can detect life on another object other than earth, maybe the biggest discovery in lifetime, but I think it will be a one time news event without much of a follow up. Much more interesting would be to detect signs of intelligence life in solar systems that we can observe with high resolution.
Artificial Intelligence's Role in Digitally Preserving Historic Archives
The Terraform providers, and the underlying library for building them, are still open source. This is why OpenTofu didn't have to fork them. Considering they're also used by Pulumi I don't see the provider community going away any time soon, but I definitely see them detaching themselves from Hashicorp.

Worth pointing out square/cube factors here. You can't have an ant the size of an elephant because while an animals strength goes up as its length squared its weight goes up with its length cubed. And a piece of rock the size of the moon doesn't shatter into seven pieces the way a piece of rock a meter across would. It splashes.

Do you find Bing search to fit your needs or do you use something else? I honestly get tired of having to type so much to get it to find what I actually want. Most often I do prefer to just use my acquired Google-fu of speed reading results.
I don't think it's that... I've tried many VR apps and games (as far back as 7 years ago!) and it's just not for me. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun and engaging, but not a game-changer. And that's fine, people are allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy, and vice versa. There's a reason people have personal preferences.
> I think some of the "Japanese has a ton of grammar points" is an effect of how the Japanese-as-a-second-language teaching resources label things, where a lot of what you could classify as "sentence patterns" are described and taught as "grammar".

Sentence patterns are grammar. They are a major presence in English grammar, where e.g. in almost all cases you can only determine the subject of a sentence by the fact that it precedes the verb. Other languages are more explicit.

Fundamentally we use "grammar" to refer to whatever governs the meaning that appears in a well-formed sentence that isn't just part of the individual meanings of (the uninflected forms of) the words in that sentence. But this is not an entirely satisfactory definition, and grammar can show up in surprising ways.

Consider the difference between the verbs "look" and "see".

In Japanese, there is no difference. They are the same verb and they mean the same thing. Japanese learners do not understand why English speakers draw a distinction, and they struggle to use the correct word when speaking English.

In Mandarin, these verbs are also the same verb. But Mandarin speakers draw the same distinction that English speakers do - if they mean "look", they will say 看, and if they mean "see", they will say 看到, inflecting the verb with a grammatical suffix indicating successful completion. Although they do not use separate verbs, they have no trouble tracking the English distinction.

In English, obviously, the same distinction is drawn. But the mechanism is lexical; we treat these as being entirely different words.

I suggest that a Japanese learner choosing "see" when they mean "look" or "watch" is making a grammatical error, the same way that they'd be making a grammatical error if they said 看 instead of 看到 while trying to speak Mandarin.

If society doesn't value what IBM produces then they'll go out of business. There are many factors to optimal organization size, and there are different ways of handling acquisitions that can preserve the acquired organization to varying extents. I work for an org that got acquired by IBM and my job (and org) has been remarkably unaffected. Just different folks enjoying the profits.

Like all things, there is much more nuance than "big corporation bad."
That has always been a pain point for me. I read a lot, so having physical copies can turn into a storage problem, especially since I keep a good backlog of books. I may not need a new book now, but I found one at the store that looks really good, so I buy it, place it on the shelf and it enters the queue. Although I did get myself used to using a kindle. Especially when I was in the Navy and needed enough to read for a 7 month deployment.

My current strategy is this. If its a book I know that will have re-read value that I really enjoy. I get a physical copy (such as LOTR). If its an interesting book that I want to read, but I don't see it as having high re-read value, I buy it on my kindle. May not be logical, but its a system that works for me so far.
great source lol

Show HN: Knee, OSS CLI tool to reduce time for infra orchestration
Most infrastructure setups are not isolated; it’s rare to deploy only a PostgreSQL setup in the cloud. Typically, setups include a combination of technologies, such as a Ruby on Rails server with PostgreSQL and Redis, or a python FastAPI app paired with a React frontend, a database, and caching. While Ansible is excellent for orchestration, maintaining separate playbooks for each component can be cumbersome. With Knee, we aim to simplify infrastructure setup. You simply select the components you need, and our tool handles the rest. We’re eager to hear your feedback on this approach.
IBM was sure good to someone I know. Some people might not appreciate a great job surrounded by brilliant inventors, even if the company has seem better days, but IBM taught them a lot (such as an absolute commitment to backwards compatibility and long-term support) early in their career and they will be forever grateful to them for those things.

Now, they have their own company and would never go back, but they still have respect for those who choose the steady paycheck, low-risk career, and great (actually pretty incredible) benefits.

Alire puts "/obj/", "/bin/", "/alire/", and "/config/" into its .gitignore when creating a new project so the platform-specific stuff shouldn't end up on other developer's machines. After your initial "alr init --bin myproj" you can dive into your "myproj.gpr" and do more than what alire supports in its toml file.
Over the years there must have been countless interesting generalizations of Life. I wonder if there is good concise reference that classifies and groups the main ideas that have been proven "productive", in the sense that they open up non-trivially different and interesting types of dynamic behavior?

A while ago I was toying with the idea of introducing a "macro" stimulus. Basically coupling the local rules of the game to global metrics like how many nodes are alive. This is emulating a bit agent based modeling in economics and in particular the role of regulators raising or lowering rates, alternatively a physical system exposed to higher or lower temperature. But what happens (at least with a simple implementation) is that whatever "stimulus" is introduced tends to overwhelm the known patterns, there seems to be little new "emergent" behavior in the coupled system.

> 1. How does this compare to dbt? If we're already using dbt, why migrate?

I actually think dbt and Hashquery work very well alongside one another!

dbt can help you normalize, clean, and materialize your data upstream, then Hashquery can be used to associate semantics to those output tables (measurements, synthesized attributes, common views) and query them.

So dbt can be the build/ETL part, and Hashquery can be the semantic layer/frontend for analytical queries.

> 2. Will you consider making a tool that tries to transpile SQL back to Hashquery models?

This is a really interesting idea!

I'm pretty skeptical we could make this technically feasible. Compilation from a higher level abstraction (Hashquery semantics) to a lower level abstraction is inherently lossy and can't really be done in reverse without a lot of noise.

Hashquery has a lot of escape hatches for raw SQL though if you need to access some functionality not yet implemented as part of the project. There's API to inline Hashquery structures inside of SQL fragments and visa versa.
Mitchell, one of the co founders, left HashiCorp in December 2023 [1]

Indeed, AI is immensely useful! I use it every day too.

However, it's been my experience that finding original works, perhaps that I can cite as a source, is somewhat difficult when the computer might confabulate both the content and the citations.

When LLMs get (much) better at doing math, law and medicine, I'll be much more likely to use them for those things.

I agree, a "cool" think about NF is the universal set.

Another way to be introduced to New Foundations, along with how one can use it, is the Metamath database for New Foundations: https://us.metamath.org/nfeuni/mmnf.html

Metamath is a proof system, but unlike most alternative systems like Lean, it doesn't have a built-in set of axioms - you need to declare your axioms, and then you can prove theorems (using only previous axioms and proven theorems). So you can declare the axioms of New Foundations, and then use them to prove other things.

One thing you immediately discover when you try to use New Foundations is that "the usual definition of the ordered pair, first proposed by Kuratowski in 1921 and used in the regular Metamath Proof Explorer, has a serious drawback for NF and related theories that use stratification. The Kuratowski ordered pair is defined as << x , y >> = { { x } , { x , y } }. This leads to the ordered pair having a type two greater than its arguments. For example, z in << << x , y >> , z >> would have a different type than x and y, which makes multi-argument functions extremely awkward to work with. Operations such as "1st" and complex "+" would not form sets in NF with the Kuratowski ordered pairs. In contrast, the Quine definition of ordered pairs, defined in definition df-op, is type level. That is, <. x , y >. has the same type as x and y, which means that the same holds of <. <. x , y >. , z >. This means that "1st" is a set with the Quine definition, as is complex "+". The Kuratowski ordered pair is defined (as df-opk), because it is a simple definition that can be used by the set construction axioms that follow it, but for typical uses the Quine definition of ordered pairs df-op is used instead."

One eye-popping result is that the Axiom of Choice can be disproven in NF. See that site (or other pages about NF) for details.
Some strong "junior developer" vibes here . . . nontechnical roles are not automatically fluff, and meetings are not automatically wastes of time.
The real power of LLMs is they can model anything as a “language” given the right sequence training data.

Warning: the following is my opinion.

In the same way that MLP “neurons” are universal approximators, it seems that LLMs are universal mappers.

They have the potential to help us organize and translate the immense quantity of data being generated by modern methods in all respective disciplines. We might create a model that translates english to protein synthesis, and vice versa, which would be pretty useful given my lay understanding of biochem.

To your point - this probably is NOT the best way to do this in an objective sense. But to my mind we are hitting upper limits as finite beings and need things like this, which utilize native language constructs, to move forward.
That's a projection for the rest of the year and probably still way optimistic. It's quite possible that the current trend is for a much smaller number.
