Liability should imo be placed on those that selected the tools and arranged their implementation without providing due care and procedures to ensure the validity of output data.
I tried out making a passkey on passkeys.io just now. On an Android phone, up-to-date OS, Bitwarden set as the preferred password manager, the "create a passkey" button, when tapped, switches to a loading spinner very breifly, then resets. Nothing else happens. I guess I'm not going to be using any passkeys.
Shallow insight, but separating the algorithmic/representational and sqlite operational parts into own C projects, is possibly a good idea.

I'd expect the rate of evolution to be significantly different between the two parts, and if you are using an algorithm library adopted by others, you may get progress "for free".
You are really naive if you think checking anything is universally done to any standard anywhere on the planet. And writing it off as hyperbole is dismissive.

I’ve literally been in a meeting with a doctor in the last week who wrote something down wrong on the damn computer in front of me. And I’m talking a specialist consultant. I’m sure if I didn’t mention it that the incorrect data would be checked over and over again to make sure it was correctly incorrect…
Are you just going to ignore the fact that China has been illegally building dozens if not hundreds of military bases there in international waters and is now trying to claim that it owns this territory?
I'd love it if this could be integrated into Paperless. Every now and then one of my scanned documents goes in upside down and I need to rescan. Clicking rotate, maybe reordering and letting it be rescanned would be great.
I originally added sqlite-vss (your original vector search implementation) on Langchain as a vectorstore. Do you think this one is mature enough to add on Langchain, or should I wait a bit?

Love your work by the way, I have been using sqlite-vss on a few projects already.
Where does it say that you have to trust Google / Apple?

Passkeys are webauthn credentials. Store them in whatever webauthn store you like. I use a combination of bitwarden and iCloud.
I'm the simplest way - if you allow AI to make decisions, you're responsible. Like this https://bc.ctvnews.ca/air-canada-s-chatbot-gave-a-b-c-man-th...

Do we know if these were all hand-coded?

I was reading up on Wootz steel:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootz_steel

And found that Merv was a big producer of it.

I had not heard of the city of Merv, seemingly at one point it had ranked as the second largest in the world, and became more fascinated.

Although now just ruins, it has inspired a board game:

Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road (2020)

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/306040/merv-the-heart-of...

“Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road is a tense economic game charting the rise and fall of the greatest city in the world.

In Merv, players are vying to amass power and wealth in the prosperous heart of the Silk Road. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and favorable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.

Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion?”

Edit: expanded details of board game reference.
I host this at home. I don't use it myself, I can use the linux CLI tools that its based on. But I prefer my wife to use this to convert/split/etc. her pdf files this way instead of using some random website or app (that uses the same cli tool anyway).

She doesn't mind either way. Seems to work well enough for her use cases.
Hey Im Jack! Im the creator of boilermate.site I just wanted to add some context to the creation of this app! I have always loved the use of boilerplates when it comes to programming, it saves all that headache of the setup and gets you right into action, but there wasn't really a nice place to find boilerplates that are cool and trending! boilermate.site was created with Sveltekit and mongoDB using mongoose. This was the first time using mongoose and i wasn't too keen on it. I wrote all of the auth and logic myself for this and i will be honest the code is bloody awful.. as i really underestimated the amount of work needed to get this up... (guest authentication...). I think i will stick to using lucia-auth and postgres... Any questions or something which is god awful let me know! Thanks, Jack Sansom
Hey mister Arcade CEO, from a fellow entrepreneur and extension developer (there are dozens of us!), have you found any pros/cons of building in the extension space versus a typical web app?

This is absolutely not true - injector design is the most important aspect of designing a thrust chamber. Poor mixing of propellants leads to severe combustion instability, which often leads to explosions. Even the earliest space programs did significant testing on propellant choices and injector designs (see Ignition! by John D. Clark)

Also, pressure fed rockets have always been a fairly terrible design. Pressure feeding requires heavy tanks, and incurs a big mass fraction (dry mass / wet mass) penalty. Outside of rare cases, it's only used for ground testing.
I've been to Shanghai and Beijing in 2010 or so, and I vividly remember that my iPhone 3G (that I jailbroke and unlocked to be able to use local Chinese SIMs, oh, those were the times...) didn't work at all for the purpose of getting around, because Google Maps GPS locations didn't match up with the map. However, there was some obscure third-party mapping software available in the app store (I think it was even the official one, not Cydia) which basically showed a Google Maps view and drew the GPS dot onto it by itself, applying the conversion first and thus fixing the display problem.

So at least back then Google Maps apparently didn't yet convert the GPS coordinates to the weird obfuscated Chinese system. But it was a big nuisance and took me a while to figure out. For the first days I thought my jailbreaking activity would have broken the GPS chip or something.

In many applications like especially Google's display ad targeting market, the "accuracy" of the clusters isn't so import as the lift in key metrics (e.g. click rates or revenue) and the overall efficiency of the method. Indeed the clustering algo might get things "dead wrong" but somehow surface something that causes clicks and revenue to increase. LDA offered much improvement over e.g. TF-IDF models, just as t-SNE improved on LDA, and now LLM embeddings are on average better and potentially cheap to compute.

LDA could be useful if your success metric is perplexity; k-means is useful if vector distance is very meaningful for your problem. Also well-studied algorithms are generally useful for initial studies in a new, unknown dataset. As always with ML, the dataset and setting are just as important as the model and algorithm.

1) Nature intends nothing. There is no reason, in any logical sense.

2) If nature actually intended anything (again, it doesn't), it would also intend killing most of your children before they are 5. Using medicine to keep infants alive is just about as unnatural as extending our life span towards the end. In terms of morality, doing the later in a way that also keeps up quality of life is obviously important, but nothing that we can not chip away at, just as we did with child mortality.
Spring/JPA and other related APIs has lots of stuff to learn. It is like the modern Java EE. It will require at-least 50–60 hours to learn basic stuff and their history. Learning history like how XML configuration works might be required because some codebases might be still using it.

Otherwise, just learning spring boot, assuming some things happen "by magic" will take fewer hours.

Under Inform6 the inheritance and OOP features are literally that, objects have attributes and you can create in-game objects (rooms are objects too) which are instances of defined ones.
Such as always 'lighted' rooms, a furniture class by defining as object as 'scenery' (you can't take it).

That's an elegant example on coding Inform6 which transpiles against the Z Machine, but overall I won't use OOP outside gaming.
2024 World Press Freedom Index
Corporate consolidation, some would say. IIRC, at some point in the last some decades, the US got the bright idea that antitrust isn't really worth enforcing if potentially anticompetitive business practices and mergers can also result in lower prices.

That kinda works— Until a small handful of corporations gain enough power that there is not really any meaningful competition anymore, and they can effectively engage in price-gouging with monopoly power. Which has now happened, apparently, in most industries. …Hence everything getting worse.

…I think there was an article I read some time back that explained it really well. But I can't seem to find it, so these links will have to do. The Guardian/Youtube ones might seem clickbaity, but that man was also Clinton's Secretary of Labor:

If I had a 3D model of my body and measurements, I could send that to a designer for custom tailored clothing, which could then be cut and stitched by a 3rd party. Does a service like this already exist? Maybe an IPad is sufficient precision for the 3D model.

This is absolutely true, when I started, I didn’t have a zone2 while running and running is just suffering.

But gradually I could hold a lower heart rate while running and now my zone 2 runs are actually faster than my fastest pace I could hold a year ago. Now I enjoy running more than cycling (though my fitness are still probably mostly derived by cycling).
I suggest you ignore tech companies. There are many non-tech companies in need of IT people (programmers, admin, dba, etc). A lot of them dont know how to do tech interviews or even know what to advertise to look for IT people they need. Go for this kind of companies. You get a chance to be their CTO and determine their IT operations. You likely need to work more IT fields and longer hours. But in return less bureucracy. The down is mostly they pay about half lesser than what you would get but living in area with lower cost of living.

Just the other day there were news about how many mistakes the AI-assisted journaling caused – wrong names, wrong diagnoses, typos (buksmärta -> kuksmärta which is hilarious but serious).

Some of it is surely teething problems, but unless there is a robust check upon implementation it might just add another layer of inefficient new public management make-work to the system.

This is some next level muddled thinking, does the Russian propaganda talk about “slander” and former territories of the empire “deserving” to be destroyed for not wanting to be an imperial province anymore?
There are two drivers here:

1) Non linear payoff if it does work. A billion seems like a lot of money but at the volume of cars that Hyundai produces (millions), it's not a lot per vehicle and as a percentage of their revenue it's also pretty modest (about 1%). This stuff could add a lot of value to their cars.

2) Fear of missing out if somebody else manages. The nightmare scenario for Hyundai would be Tesla or some other competitor managing to launch something that actually works and then having to license their solution just to keep up; probably at great cost.

There are a lot of nay-sayers out there proclaiming at length how all this is a mission impossible. But the reason these investments are happening is that there are by now quite a wide range of autonomous taxis driving in a growing number of cities in the world. And they mostly seem to get their passengers from A to B without a driver. So, it's clearly not that impossible for this to work. Going from hundreds of bespoke cars operating for the likes of Waymo to millions of autonomously driving cars is the game here. Somebody is going to get there eventually. But not without a lot of investments.

Hyundai is opting to hedge their bets here. They are investing a lot more conservatively than e.g. Tesla. But they are not completely ignoring it either.
> he didn’t want to be responsible for sending a young man into a dead-end business

When I looked much younger, I was passing through an alley when I saw a forge and stopped to chat with the old fellow whose shop it was. He took my artisanal interest in metalwork for a craftsperson's at first, and tried to brush me off, saying he didn't take apprentices anymore, because these days no one builds anything, only tacks together factory-ordered sections.

Every now and then I wonder how much similarity bits have to atoms in that regard?
> I'm highly skeptical of unknown numbers and they're almost always telemarketers or scam calls bu

This is generally true, but...

In Switzerland calls from banks (and doctors and lawyers) don't submit numbers. That's due to secrecy laws (at least in the case of banks)

That said, in 45 years I never received a call from a bank.
Putin and CCP intelligence services are all over Facebook and other social media platforms[1]. This is a concerted effort across every possible avenue. It's not about Israel-Palestine per se, it's about trying to maximize every possible domestic division, whether it's White nationalism or Black nationalism or 5g or antivax conspiracy theories. Anything that creates division and chaos. The US and the free world is so strong the only thing that can defeat it is itself.

Maybe not planned as a barrier, but effectively being one now? So this could be a reason why not to revert it.
This has been the biggest game changer for me. People often think they need to push it hard and they quickly fatigue, burn out and hate going running. The trick is to do a 80% of your running sessions in zone 2 and 20% in high intensity to increase VO2 max. If you are at the start that means sometimes walking on hills and that is ok. There is a great book about this: https://www.amazon.com/80-20-Running-Stronger-Training/dp/04...

Email: markos [at] qnoid [dot] com

Hello everyone, I am Markos aka qnoid. You might have come across Windmill (https://windmill.qnoid.com/) or that talk on Sound Debugging (https://qnoid.com/2013/06/08/Sound-Debugging.html#main). Just recently, I also gave a talk at NSLondon on Debugging Closed Source Code (https://qnoid.com/2024/04/11/debugging-closed-source-code.ht...).

I am a software engineer, experienced in iOS/macOS apps and Java Enterprise, based in London, UK.
I am primarily looking for a London based role, open to working remotely.

I was really excited to be offered a role at Sketch as a macOS Developer, albeit a short one. I loved Sketch’s engineering driven culture, working on an award winning Apple product alongside some of the best developers in the field.

I am also really proud of the engineering team at KodyPay I established as the no. 2 engineering hire. I loved working on features that required me to wear many of my hats (mobile, backend, infrastructure).

I also take great pleasure in writing technical guides, giving talks and generally breaking down complex problems. In that sense, I am also interested in pivoting to a Developer Relations role.
Probably confusing it with Java, where the only value types are the basic ones (unless you store each individual coord in a different array).

Our values and work ethics essentially contribute to our brand mission: empower acceptance and shape an inclusive, fair and circular fashion culture.

We are looking forward to receiving your application – preferably via our online application portal! Thus, we can ensure a faster process and for you it is very easy to upload your application documents. :-)
Note the topic is about china and any restriction of "public" data will gather negative comments. The only bias i am seeing is yours.
You could do with some other concept than users. E.g. namespaces or capabilities.
What all big platforms encounter is that the actual attacker already knows the password. That is because (1) it has been leaked on another platform and the user uses the same or (2) because it has been stolen from the computer of the user or (3) the user gave it away voluntarily because he has been phished. Most of the time it is (1) and (3). On Hacker News, we are a very tech-savvy group, and I agree if you stick to your approach that's secure. In a bigger view, that is absolutely not the reality for big B2C platforms. With passkeys (1) and (3) technically impossible and (2) is nearly impossible. Does that make sense?
Since you are writing to the location where rip is pointing to, you need to rewind to the beginning of the page first. Otherwise the program will crash if you're unlucky and rip is currently exactly at the end of an executable mapping. Low chance, but still...
This is actually the second version of the comment. The first version I didn't post because I thought it's too harsh. This is good enough, has a good element of tough love, but people sometimes need that.
