It isn't practical by any means, it's unnecessarily reductionist, even when one doesn't consider the numerous innate biases involved in polling.

People are multidimensional but American Presidential politics forces them into a binary decision. Yet there are numerous reasons why people who support abortion might not vote for Biden. They may support abortion but not believe Biden is a credible choice to defend abortion rights. They may support abortion but vote against Biden to punish the Democratic Party for their response to Dobbs. They may support abortion but reject the Democratic Party altogether. They may support abortion but find activism at the state level more effective, and find other things like Biden's support for Israel more objectionable. They may support abortion but also support Trump, because pro-choice Republicans do exist, and their only options will be to vote Trump or not vote and all. And most people won't even vote at all.

>It may not be what they say or even what they think but it is reflected in what they do.

No. It may be comfortable to see people in such black and white terms, but the premise that unless one votes for Biden, one doesn't support abortion regardless of what else one says and does, is ... not even wrong levels of wrong.
Just going to remind people of https://www.musicxml.com and https://opensheetmusicdisplay.org for a more complete solution at a much larger cost.
Edge cases like medical emergencies, natural disasters, terrorist attacks etc., where speeding can actually save lives. You can’t account for all of those in an automated system.
I recently tried a Fermi estimation problem on a bunch of LLMs and they all failed spectacularly. It was crossing too many orders of magnitude, all the zeroes muddled them up.

E.g.: the right way to work with numbers like a “trillion trillion” is to concentrate on the powers of ten, not to write the number out in full.
You could look at money as condensed time - you've worked for the money and saved it up. At some point if you save enough you can stop working and live off that savings. And then you have time.
Their degree and future earning potential is supposed to be the collateral.

Unfortunately, the earning potential of a generic bachelor's degree seems to have mysteriously fallen at roughly the same time a flood of students were offered huge loans to achieve them. Maybe some day we'll be able to find the connection.
And it depends on how prone you're to invest ALL your time & money into your "thing"? Less for europeans, more for americans?
I recall the Ansible Python API to be labeled as Interal Use Only and subject to change on a whim because of that. That at least discouraged using ansible in that way.

Seems they still kinda discourage it but do have examples at least.

They even did it in the Louvre!
FIPS is terrible, except that sometimes if you shout "FIPS 140 compliance for US gov contracts" enough into the corporate hierarchy you eventually get the budget to implement any security whatsoever, even though it's just FIPS.

If you're not trying to get US government contracts that require it, don't bother with FIPS. It mandates older algorithms; they're mostly secure enough but not as performant and there are a lot more footguns. FIPS 140-3 fixed a few, but not all.
Gnome is great if you're willing to do things their way. I Like Gnome a lot actually.
Should be interesting in the years ahead. Europe appears to be getting poorer and that may accelerate as these European governments have to spend more on defense to counter Russian ambitions. The French are pretty adamant about retirement age tampering by the government.
> fuse-t uses NFS which is extremely janky and unreliable on MacOS

I was wondering what issues you were talking about, and then I found this - https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/fuse-t/issues/45 - data corruption

> The fundamental issue is that macOS doesn't provide an API for this natively.

The API is there, Apple just doesn’t want to give anyone outside of Apple the entitlement that lets them use it. I don’t understand why Apple won’t.

Well, I understand that would require them to document it, ship public headers, and support it for external developers - but why not?
Great point. Sudoku is one of my favorites in the word puzzle genre.
It’s just so clear the math is wrong on these things.

You’ve got an apparent contradiction: SGD (AdamW at 1e-6 give or take) works. So we’ve got extremely abundant local maxima up to epsilon_0, but, it always lands in the same place, so there are abundant “well-studied” minima, likewise symmetrical up to epsilon_1, both of which are roughly: “start debugging if above we can tell”.

The maxima have meaningful curvature tensors at or adjacent to them: AdamW works.

But joker in the deck: control vectors work. So you’re in a quasi-Euclidean region.

In fact all the useful regions are about exactly the same, the weights are actually complex valued, everyone knows this part….

The conserved quantity up to let’s call it phi is compression ratio.

Maybe in a year or two when Altman is in jail and Mme. Su gives George cards that work, well crunch numbers more interesting than how much a googol FMA units cost and Emmy Nother gets some damned credit for knowing this a century ago.
I agree that the language used wasn’t perfect, but… If a claim is not verifiable, it can only be taken on faith. Same as all the existing apps in the category that this one aims to replace. Is there a better word we can use to describe this sort of situation?
90% may even be generous.
> Obviously python isn't

Obviously you can create declarative idioms in Python
So the patterns once done would be taken to a foundry where they'd be used to make molds. I'm not totally up to speed on that process but I know it involves surrounding the pattern with a combination of refractory sand and binder. Where it gets tricky is complex parts that have multiple cores and so on.

And yeah, this guy was retired at the time but he'd been doing it for like 50 years. I'm very sure he knew what did and did not matter.
What ever the cause of the slow start, it'll be a shame if it all comes to a grinding halt on Jan 20, 2025 now that this agency seems to be effectively doing its job.
Author here! We're experimenting a little with our positioning right now, so any feedback would be super valuable. Our current hypothesis is that knowledge management is a great use case for our enterprise RAG solution. Would love to hear what other people think about it.
Pulseaudio was created by Lennart Poettering.
So if I as a consumer want to buy weed:

I show up and convert cash to bitcoin, presumably losing some of its value to exchange fees.

Pay the merchant my bitcoin, who then has to convert it back to cash losing more of its value to fees so that he can pay all of his staff, suppliers, utilities, etc...

Why not just skip the bitcoin step and save time and money?
> i can have one baremetal server with a dozen+ services, all with their own users and permissions

I've used nixos and I don't really see how nixos is special apart from the declarative config. The same can/should be done with any distro and any config manager.

And unless you were running Podman in rootless mode, the same setup applies to containers too.
He said nothing a lot in this thread.

He basically wants to keep repeating the virtue signalling idea that all people are good and punishment is bad.

He thinks you can cure bad actions by restricting freedom of actions in the first place. It's pretty sad and unfortunately terrible. But it is definitely "easier to feel good" with it.
code generation is a mostly disjoint topic from DI. Granted, some solutions like https://github.com/google/wire use code generation, but you're exactly right about their pitfalls. If your dev environment doesn't have good support for generated code, it is a nightmare. If you can goto-definition the generated code, then it is suddenly feasible, but perhaps still a bad choice.

But the DI frameworks I've used are typically just... normal code files. Uber/fx, Go/Guice, etc
Your comment could have been a nice opinion that proves to a drive-by reader that needs can differ drastically between programmers.

But you ruined it with "fancy things" which shows offhand disregard and disrespect.

A question like "what do you need these features for?" would have been a better contribution to the forum.
> I don't want to learn a new network config alternative with every update (Ubuntu changed its net config tool again with 24.04).

That's really just Ubuntu's fault. Between upstart, Unity, netplan, and snapd, Ubuntu likes to go off and do its own thing for a few years before coming back to what everyone else picked in the first place
My only thought on this was to have a strip down the side with a vertically repeating background of an SVG data URL with the clef in it. But I don't like it. It'll be brittle. And it wouldn't support clef / key / time changes very easily.
JavaScript Language Design and Implementation in Tandem
Because people die crossing the border, and the whole enterprise of militarizing the border and criminalizing unauthorized crossings of individuals is a historical extreme which has only recently emerged.

When its naming was honest, the Department of Defense was called the Department of War. It's that notion of 'defense' we should have in mind when we ask whether the 'defense' industry should have a role in policing the border.
The sentence immediately after the quoted section provides additional nuance, reading as follows:

> Its only allowed usage is as a fire retardant in submarines and aircraft.

There is no reason to continue the use of R-12 in inhalers when R-134a is a drop-in replacement, though you're welcome to do your own research if you still disagree with the legislation.
These css selectors are actually fairly common I would say. They were used for querySelector a lot before Angular, React, etc. In addition in current times they are frequently used to grab elements by their data-testid either for jest tests or e2e tests.
Charles Schwab is also said to be worth $10 billion.
Speaking for myself, as a layman, I had always been walking around thinking of hadrons as balls with other balls inside, with forces mediated by tiny/insubstantial yet-to-be-discovered balls.

Yes, I knew they weren't balls, exactly, but still. Newer models with greater sensitivity have sort of pulled a fast one: that maybe the balls are a side effect of the way we look at them. More precisely, to look at them, we need to smack them hella hard, to make the balls come out where we can see them. But the smacking might be a part of why the balls look like balls!

The native hadron in its natural habitat might be something fantastically more complex, a sort of cell biology of energies all competing and vibrating, and they're part of the interrelated forces of the nucleus itself - we might even use that obsolete term return, the "nucleon", to represent this complex. Jiving against all of this are new ideas about what mass actually is, defining spatial attributes as degrees of freedom, and all sorts of new thoughts. It's super exciting.

So that's what I mean by "shocked how little we know", because what we did think we knew got oversold as a World of Balls.

But who knows?! Maybe this neat laser thing can help find more answers.
It’s really frustrating to see those conflated. The fake plate guys are effectively going around with a big sign indicating premeditated intent to break safety laws. Floyd may or may not have even used a counterfeit bill but even in the case where he knowingly did, it wouldn’t have harmed anyone.
Also a rare UK success story in brute force lawmaking. People used to hack phones IMEI all the time, lots of utils available. Then anything relating to changing an imei was heavily punished and it all stopped. Nobody would host a utility or a guide or even mention it on a forum. If you did mention it you were banned. It was almost instant.
That effectively sums it up for me as well. I enjoyed the hard-ish sci-fi of the first half, then it turn into some speculative future storyline and I lost interest 5 mins in.
There are plenty of other idiosyncratic people out there who aren't, entirely literally, calling for ethnic cleansing.
How about only in servers where you only have CPU/Memory/disk/GPU with open source trusted drivers?
I’m here for it. I like systemd for the most part. I don’t care for this red window tinting tho.
Psychologist? Without being ageist :-) I think later in life once you been around the block and got some scars is a good time to be one (of course the formal training and education is 99%) but experience means something. As a bonus you can eventually earn what you were as a developer (probably more in Australia where I am if you are location flexible, for example happy to fill a position somewhere remote)

I think this meets your requirements. It is in danger of AI replacement though. Which would be sad. But reckon there is 20 years of red tape to cut before we get there.

But if you don’t want to talk to people and be on a schedule then carpentry might be a good one. The sort where you make things as oppose to fix architraves in old houses.

AI plus machinery could make “home made” looking stuff but cheapos will keep going to ikea and there will still be a market.

If I didn’t need to make much money and just stay occupied probably do walking tours for free in untouristy places (think the “boring” countryside between cities that ain’t in any guidebooks) or just for a bit of cash walk people’s dogs at the park.

Robots may eventually do these things but to a dog a robot won’t smell like a human so they are the last to be fooled. I imagine in 2050 everyone will have a dog (bred to be small and generally dosile and easy to train) to sniff people for bot detection.
The first half is pretty good hard-ish sci-fi, might be worth checking out.
Rare rule violation on the downvote thing.

Make a dissenting case or leave it the fuck alone. I’ve been pretty laid back about the OpenAI bot thing but I’m over it.
I’ve observed that Pydantic - which we’ve used for years in our API stack - has become very popular in LLM applications, for its type-adjacent features. It serves as a foundational technology for prompting libraries like [DSPy](https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy) which are abstracting “up the stack” of LLM apps. (some opinions there)

Operating AI apps reveals a big challenge, in that debugging probabilistic code paths requires more than the usual introspective abilities, and in an environment where function calls can have very real monetary impact we have to be able to see what’s happening in the runtime. See LangChain’s hosted solution (can’t recall the name) that allows an operator to see prompts and responses “on the wire”. (It just occurred to me that Langchain and Pydantic have a lot in common here, in approach.)

Having a coupling between Pydantic - which is *just about* the data layer itself - and an observability tool seems very interesting to me, and having this come from the folks who built it does not seem unreasonable. WRT open source and monetization, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried - given the recent few months - but I am choosing to see this in a positive light, given this team’s “believability weight” (to overuse Dalio) and history of delivering solid and really useful tooling.
We should also build more housing!
It’s better than Yaml or HCL though
The transaction fee for a cash transaction is $0 and no time for the consumer.

That is the benchmark you are competing against.
No. This is not at all a representative opinion among ICU docs.
There's no indication of satire here.
Very interesting! Two-photon pumping of traditional lasers with only 2 states would require absurd energy densities, but I guess the combination of a strong quadrupole coupling and long state decay times makes it feasible for a nuclear laser.

Still not clear what it would be useful for outside of clocks, but definitely a very cool physics project, and I'm sure someone would find other uses eventually.
People don’t even know how to use traditional web search properly.

Here’s a real scenario: A Citrix virtual desktop crashed because a recent critical security fix forced an upgrade of a shared DLL. The output is a really specific set of errors in a stack trace. I watched with my own two eyes an IT professional typed the following phrase into Google: “Why did my PC crash?”

Then he sat there and started reading through each result… including blog posts by random kids complaining about Windows XP.

I wish I could say this kind of thing is an isolated incident.
I’m not sure if you are responding to the wrong comment, or OP edited, but I am fascinated by what you posted and so can you explain a little bit?
You need to be able to pass left-lane campers on the right now and then.

> This was a core design feature of reiserfsv4, but Linux ultimately refused to merge it

IIRC, because it contained these strange beasts which functioned as both files and directories - i.e. cat would return data, but then you could cd into them and run ls. Linus (among others) didn’t want to permit those violations of the file-directory dichotomy into the Linux kernel.
What areas of computing do you find exciting? I personally find AI, operating systems, programming languages, and databases exciting, but everybody has different interests. I would start from there.

Next, graduate-level courses are typically an introduction to the topics necessary to do research within a field. For example, while an undergraduate-level operating systems class covers the basic workings of operating systems, graduate-level courses tend to cover fundamental papers, alternative approaches, and cutting-edge research. I once took a graduate level course on type theory. It was an excellent foundation for pursuing research in type theory.

It also helps to read recent proceedings from relevant conferences and journals to see what the pressing problems are in the field and to learn more about the state of the art.

Once you’ve identified some areas of interest, I’d find a thesis advisor who most aligns with the topic you’re interested in. That advisor will provide more input and will also make suggestions.

Good luck!
I worked on a system that was good enough, then the requirements changed, becoming far more complex; suddenly it was almost impossible to keep improving and updating the codebase without 10 bugs appearing in production (and not in tests).
Good enough may be good enough for the time being, in the long run who knows
Does Borgo have a Treesitter grammar? An LSP? I'd use it in a heartbeat if so.
All sorts of sticky bits here. If the main thing the age verification service is used for is watching porn then how much privacy can you really have? The verification side knows you're watching porn and can look at your ISP records or ask the registered providers if you accessed using token / session x if they really need to e.g. unmask your specific fetish or find out about your activity.

There are some difficult tensions between building for privacy vs being auditable.

Another specific part that seems difficult is the need for a biometric bind. There's no clear way to do this without invasive UX that's bad for the use-case.

If you want to make assertions about a natural person then you need to bind them to the credential with a biometric match, to prevent IDs from being copied or shared.

If you perform that on the client it's amenable to all sorts of hacking, "the drm problem" where you are asking a computer or mobile device to act as a little policeman. The device is no longer "yours".

If you perform it on the server you need to be passing images or better video back to a service. You can have the best protocol and procedures in the world but you will never convince customers that is private & anonymous.

It all depends on requirements tho. If the goal is mainly to prevent say, 8 year olds stumbling across porn websites, and not to stop a motivated 8 year old from accessing them by stealing parent credentials or using workarounds they found on a forum, then the problem is fairly tractable and could probably be solved within the credit card ecosystem alone.
No need to be this jaded IMO. Dude is making art (FWIW, art I quite enjoy), and marketing it accordingly. Just saying he's "Instagramming full time" sounds like unnecessary aspersions - it's not like he's just making duck faces into the camera or showing random shit he bought, and he's not doing some lame "influencer" track. He's just marketing and selling stuff that he created. We should celebrate that, especially on a website like Hacker News.
Any sane command line program will only output color codes if isatty(STDOUT_FILENO) succeeds.

Cars are massively subsidized, and requiring that they be safer reduces some of their externalities a bit, raising their cost and lowering that subsidy. That's a good thing.
Look up predictive coding. Our senses are constantly feeding us corrections to our predictions.

>That's the work ethic. I'm not saying it's everyone, of course, but it's a common attitude

So, why are those people not being fired? Because it sounds like they are judging their contribution to their employer and their own bargaining power exactly right if they are not being fired.
Having been the recipient of a double "Hail Mary" (extreme rare case - and luxury - of having two ECMO's used to sustain my life for 19-days after full organ failure post-pneumonia + severe allergic reaction to piperacillin/tazobactam) in 2014, and having a close colleague last month also receive ECMO care post-cardiac incident, I'm happy to say that we're both currently looking at 100% return-to-normal with no side-effects. I know there's a large spread of cases where the outcome is not as favourable as ours, but I'm not sure of the statistical curve justifying 'rarely'.
I'm currently in Germany working remotely for a US company as you described. They pay around 200k pre tax. There are real growth options from there.

I've never seen a single competing offer from a German company, not even at the highest level. A local career here as a developer is a dead end.
Tesla-semi-as-pony-express would be interesting, but isn't really compatible with _selling_ the actual truck as a product; no one wants to swap _their_ truck with someone else's, except the guys with above-average wear on their truck.
