I think a huge part of it isnt even corporatism, but social and cultural avoidance and fear of death. US culture, the only one I claim to speak for, is in denial about death. We hide it away, pretend it wont happen, and then when it does, we lie to the children and try to suppress it ourselves. We drag death out medically, and then have no time to be with the dying. Doing this leads to not only neurotic choices from the living, but strips some of the poignancy, beauty, and urgency from life itself.

One of my saddest, but also most powerful, raw, and formative memories was watching my grandmother die when I was 12. Her lymphoma had relapsed and she chose to put her effort and energy into preparing for her death instead fighting medically. She was a strong woman and fully prepared her estate. She collected every document, listed every account, and wrote detailed instructions (Later, my dad would still find things like the pinkslip pre-signed and in the glove box of the car when he went to sell it.)

When her time was close, my family pulled me out of school for two weeks and we went to stay with her until she passed. I mostly played in another room, but when it was time, I was called in and we held hands and watched her last breaths, and listened to her death rattle together, and cried together. That was the first time I saw my father cry.

It was tremendously sad, of course, but also beautiful, because it was the culmination of a life well lived. I learned a lot that day about the fleetingness of our short lives , the value of agency, and the human endeavor. It is the greatest gift my grandmother ever gave me and she did it from her deathbed. Sometimes when I lack motivation and struggle, I consider what I would want, think, and wish from my own deathbed. I consider the impact I want to have on my loved ones, and the cultural legacy I want to leave.
My 5 cents is that sometimes you can reach your ambitions and it might be hard for you to get new ambitions, no matter how you feel about yourself.

It can also happen that you end up with wrong ambitions and only find out once you reach those ambitions.
Always cool seeing stuff in this space.

Regarding "zeitgeist", about a year ago I built something similar called https://zeitgaist.ai which also incorporates other sources like Mastodon, Bluesky, some subreddits etc.
This is funny. About 10 years ago, I had bonded ADSL for my internet (yay sonic.net). The idea being that two lines bonded together would have twice as much bandwidth as a single line. Each line had a max rate of 20Mbps, so I had a max of 40Mbps combined. It worked pretty well initially, but over time it degraded horribly. Because you could see stats for each line independently, I could tell that one line was operating at ~18Mbps and the other was around 2 and there was a lot of error recovery going on. After much complaining, I found out that one line was degraded and somehow reacted to rain (water got in the trunk somehow). And no, AT&T wasn’t going to fix the broken line.

I chose to just use the single (good) line.

So, yes, I can confirm this does work in the field… but with about as much practically as you’d expect.
It would great if we had a better culture around dying. My parents are in their 90s. When I get to the senior home they live and talk to people it’s pretty clear that it would often be better if people could just say “enough is enough” and go out with dignity and respect. A lot of people there just live day by day and wait for it to be over.
It sounds like you take your assessment very seriously, but

this is very funny taken out of context.

Good points, though.

They produce calibration sets. I'm not sure how they choose the colours they do (nor the names), but their most important job is to distribute the color sets with perfectly consistent colors, which isn't "free" work.
Yep, reception is a real problem with straight GNSS. WWVB suffered from it too, and cellular (which is locked to GPS) is a big upgrade. I suppose that now the thing to do is wait for the $0.10 cellular clock chip that makes it easy.
Yes just a few more years of ambition boiling away inside soon to be reduced by half as they realize the average person’s support network for ambition is non-existent.

We all have ambition and a peacefulness to it, but the most successful people have connections to utilize that peace and ambition. When your family or friends barely support your ambitions your network will not have a jump start on everyone else.

Show HN: An online guestbook interface that accepts drawings
When we built the guestbook on our company website [1] we received a lot of positive feedback and a big response on Hacker News [2].

Fast forward to today. We've since built a complete blogging and site platform called Pika [3]. We got to thinking that it would be great if people on our platform had the ability to experience this guestbook thing for themselves. While we couldn't send a printer out to everyone, we could make a completely digital, art-based guestbook for folks on our platform.

The guestbook provides a drawing canvas in the browser. When the drawing is submitted, it is then converted to PNG file for display in the guestbook itself.

Please give it a try!

Note: Guestbook entries are not automatically posted to our guestbook. Give us a minute to approve them. (We will immediately delete all troll drawings and messages.)

One assumption is that it's one stream of bytes (Okay, two if you count stderr) and so control and metadata has to be interleaved with content to be displayed
As a German, and as a privacy conscious person, yes, I think it's worth it.

As a CTO of an AI company that does automated background checks for international compliance, .. jesus fucking christ, my job is 90% GDPR compliance at this point.

off-topic: did you know in Germany you need a court order to surveil Taliban terrorists ... in Afghanistan? Fun times.
at the risk of sounding dumb, does that article even actually answer why Tux? I know it asks it at the top but I didn't see an answer. I read it 3x and couldn't figure it out.
My deliverable is source code; my code targets several different platforms; and my clients expect to produce builds for all supported platforms from one build environment.

Delivering with GNU Make alone would require me to either write tons of documentation for my clients to read in order to setup their build environment just right or write tons of shell script to accomplish a fraction of what GNU Autotools already does.

I'll pre-emptively state that delivering a "use this to build" Docker image is not an option, unfortunately.
Raking them into a pile, shredding them, and putting the mulch in a compost pile allows me to move the nitrogen into my garden. Maybe that starves part of my lawn, but the grass seems to be doing just fine - and moving natural nutrients to my garden helps me avoid using chemical fertilizers when growing food.

I am agreeing with you, for the record. It seems silly to throw leaves in a landfill.
The findings are that the best fine-tune performance comes from fine-tuning all weights, followed my MLPs, followed by attention heads, using LoRA. Authors assert that the performance difference is based on the target module of the NN.

Isn’t an equally valid argument that MLPs tend to constitute a greater number of weights in transformer networks than attention heads, and the performance difference can be traced to a greater number of weights having freedom to change? I’d be curious to know if randomly choosing a subset of matrices to train, regardless of where they are in the network, would provide analogous performance to LoRA on a specific module with comparable learnable weights.
Can you give a few references? I did a quick look on Google and asked chatGPT. Leviticus 13 looks to be about leprosy (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+13%3A...). Also, found some things other things about health but not really much about preventing the spread of infectious diseases. I would like to see more.

Edit: will add that Leviticus 13 does have a bunch about identifying leprosy and what to do about it when found. This includes isolating the person and wearing a mask.
You can look into systems design primers and just build stuff.

Honestly until you actually need to do it in production it just needs imagination and some core understanding. At least that’s my experience from working at a unicorn where we scaled from a few customers to millions, with tons of background work and queues and what not spread out globally.

You can try stuff at home and emulate how bigger stuff might be working. Or read up on their systems design and try it yourself.

Nobody knows until they have to address it. But they can only do so if they have some level of imagination/creativity and understand how computer/networks operate.

Presumably because RFC822 is a legacy format and there are weird implementations out there that do things (e.g. something as simple as adding a header or signature!) that would mutate data used in a signature. This allows you to carve out a spot for the insecure stuff you can't otherwise get rid of.

Obviously it also carves out a spot for an attacker to put their own stuff in, and thus relies on downstream parsing to not get fooled[1]. Which is terrible security design in a from-scratch system. But with legacy stuff... there often isn't a choice. Security is just hard.

[1] The article isn't clear, but the closest to a root cause bug in this particular instance is actually that the mail client is validating the signature, but failing to recognize that there is unsigned data being presented to the user as part of the message. That's a tall order for client code, but that's where this particular design put the responsibility.
Hey folks, I'm Mitch!

I've been a software developer for the better part of a decade now, and I kept running into the same problem:

There are tons of resources for developers out there, but no good way to remember them, share them or discover them.

Over the years I've lost the links to thousands of StackOverflow answers, blog posts, YouTube videos and ChatGPT prompts. This has lead to lost time and tons of headaches trying to track down those golden nuggets.

DevCheatSheets is my solution. It will be both an information repository for developers, as well as a social platform for sharing and contributing to other people's repositories. You'll be able to share, store and discover new resources with other developers and network on your favorite pieces of information.

DevCheatSheets is in its infancy, but you can sign up for the newsletter at the link below.

Aw geez, that's a really nasty bug.

So with DKIM you're signing some headers and the body. DKIM has a "body length" tag, "l=". Contrary to its name it doesn't say anything about the body length, but it specifies the length of the content being signed - so an attacker can add random crap to the end of the message without invalidating the signature.

This combines with multi-part email to essentially let an attacker completely overwrite the message body.

To make it even worse, the spec is written quite vague and heavily suggests that inserting "l=" is mandatory, despite also mentioning cases where it isn't present. That's pretty much asking for trouble.

And of course all that is made a Serious Problem because DMARC is fundamentally broken and considers a message valid when either SPF or DKIM passes - so it'll happily accept a message with a valid DKIM signature coming from a host who fails SPF.
So everybody having an insurance pays for this abuse?

It's still alive in some form - the user database was migrated and old accounts can be accessed on the new site through a per-user token. If you had an account you may still be able to get the token and get into the new site. I haven't finished the transfer myself, though.
Another option is a hose, but that may be considered more wasteful.

I have a leaf blower, and I use it for about 5 minutes a week in the summer to clear grass clippings from walkways after I mow. I don't like being "that guy", so I pretty much run around the yard with it in order to finish as quickly as possible.

I know that the electric leaf blowers are quieter, but my neighbor's makes a high pitched squeal which bothers me more. I think that she has some sort of condition, because she's literally using the thing for about three hours a day. I don't know how many battery packs she has, but she runs it until it dies, swaps the pack, and gets back to it. It's not a huge yard, maybe 1/3 of an acre, but she is compelled to get every blade of grass off of her driveway.
I thought this was going to be about physically storing memory in wires, i.e. core memory.

How does one technically opt-out after model training is completed? You can't exactly go into the model and "erase" parts of the corpus post-hoc.

Like when you send an email to feedback@slack.com with that perfect subject like (jeez, really?) what exactly does the customer support rep do on their end to opt you out?

Now is definitely the time to get/stay loud. If it dies down, the precedent has been set.
Hm here in Germany we do not burn hives. If AFB occurs the hives have to be heat threaded with a torch (plastic ones have to be cleaned with soda lye). The frames have to be burned or cleaned in soda lye. the bee swarm itself get new frames without any foundation so that they have to build combs of their own.
This process must be repeated until no spores are found anymore.
Back in the days the beekeepers had to burn their hives but this is from the old days.

CMake does make configuration easier (via its tui), and for trivial shared libraries/ simple programs it can be convenient, but once you're outside its happy zone and have to run code generators and do text processing, it quickly becomes much more unwieldy than a makefile + sed

Funny I was just reading this Poul Anderson classic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chaos_(novel)

which is set in an parallel world where magic is real and advancing rapidly along with science. (e.g. Edwin Land invents a device to transform a werewolf without moonlight using polarized light)

The protagonists have their child kidnapped and brought to Hell. They are told that the Army had tried to investigate Hell 20 years ago but everyone was driven insane. An adversary drops the hint that the space-time geometry of Hell is different from ours so it would be possible to go back in time and retrieve the child at the moment it arrives. This is enough of a hint for scientists to determine that the geometry of Hell is non-Euclidean and figure out spells for getting there safely, keeping safe, and getting back. They pray to get the assistance of two 19th century geometers, one a saint, to be able to navigate.
I had the opposite experience when my grandparents died -- I watched everybody in my family cling on to ventilators, invasive treatments, and chemotherapy, for both of them to die painfully attached to tubes in an emergency hospital ward. My aunt whispering maniacally to my grandma: "don't go towards the light!" Family members talking over my grandmother's last words.

It taught me a lot too; that I want to be like your grandmother, and not like my family, when my time comes.
it's subjective to an extent, but requiring a "reverse spiral rule" (which itself has exceptions) to understand inline types is about as close to objectively bad as it gets.

rust surely has it's issues, but reading types is not one of them. whatever you put inside the <> of a outermost symbol is a straightforward tree parse.
Not always. It is also the uninhabited bottom type.

The proof would be higher profit margins.

Even theoretically, I don’t see a high barrier to entry. Setting up a website and logistics operation seems doable such that there already exist many clothing retailers with similarly low profit margins.

And I don’t see what network effects there would be, any customer can trivially change the website they are buying from and similarly, any textile worker/producing company in the world can sell to another clothing retailer.

If Shein had some super advanced robots that could pump out clothes at competitive quality but at vastly lower prices, then that would be something with high barrier to entry, but then their profit margins would be higher because their COGS would be lower than their competitors.
A lot of websites and people misunderstand and think that you need popups for essential cookies like login cookies -- you don't. Every time you see a cookie popup it's because they want to track your actions beyond the basics needed for their site to work.

My favorite is when cops do a gun buyback and then sell all the parts online. Nice police work there Lou.
I have every intention to do the same. The only thing that gives me nightmares is to lose mental capacity, which it seems your grandmother was lucky to keep to the end. My aging friend circle keeps throwing around ideas of various dead man switches to cut short any kind of mental decline.
I guess it does when you use it parsimoniously.

Copilot helps me a lot when I have to write repetitive code, or when I have to change code slightly the same way in a lot of lines.

I never add large amounts of code at one go though, I think it would certainly add subtle bugs then.
> This is the S1 in Berlin

The vast majority of people in the US do not live in places that are at all comparable to Berlin, or NYC for that matter.

> Shopping should be local,

Which means that you're limited to what's popular enough in your local area. And, it usually leads to small stores, which are inherently less efficient and thus more expensive.

> The US model of consolidating all schools into superschools and the move them deep into the subburbs surounded by parking lots is literally the worst.

Suburbs have schools because suburbs have lots of kids. FWIW, there is a tendency for folks to move from cities to suburbs when they have kids.

That said, city kids go to city schools. Yes, there is some "city schools are so horrible that we'll let some city kids go elsewhere" but it's [1] in the noise and [2] caused by crappy city schools/govts, not urban design.

Crappy city govts cause lots of problems, not just crappy schools, but if those govts could be easily fixed, it would have happened. (FWIW, almost all of those crappy city govts have been super-majority Democrat for decades.)

> Sightseeing, how else would you go sightseeing if not with the train. I dont get it. Would any place you want to go to be just full of parking lots?

No.

You're assuming that every place you go sightseeing has lots of people. That might be true in Europe, but it's not true in the US.
It's interesting that they used the Planet Express building from Futurama as one of their examples of 3D-inconsistency, because I'm pretty sure the exteriors are in fact computer-generated from a 3D model. Watch the show and you can see the establishing shots usually involve a smooth complex camera move around the building.

I contacted support to opt out.. Here is the answer.

"Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to Slack support. Your opt-out request has been completed.

For clarity, Slack has platform-level machine learning models for things like channel and emoji recommendations and search results. We do not build or train these models in such a way that they could learn, memorize, or be able to reproduce some part of customer data. Our published policies cover those here (https://slack.com/trust/data-management/privacy-principles), and as shared above your opt out request has been processed.

Slack AI is a separately purchased add-on that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) but does not train those LLMs on customer data. Slack AI uses LLMs hosted directly within Slack’s AWS infrastructure, so that customer data remains in-house and is not shared with any LLM provider. This ensures that Customer Data stays in that organization’s control and exclusively for that organization’s use.
