> This all reads as massive design flaws.

Design flaws massive enough to cause me to reconsider the entire platform - this coming from someone who's been an iPhone user since 2010. This is like Cyber Security 101 stuff they completely screwed the pooch on. Makes you wonder what other massive design flaws are lurking?
The problem isn't the federated nature, it's the combination of:

- loose standardization, and lack of proper versioning

- Postel's law, which is a recioe for disaster

Takeaway if you want to design a federated protocol use a “the server chose violence” approach and reject any messages that is not perfectly compliant with the expected input for the given version (which must be part of the protocol itself).
I think the reason that large (cast) stone is very expensive is not the creative part or the molds. It is mostly the storing and transportation.

Storing is hard because of the space it takes and manual labour to move the heavy item when reorganizing.

Transportation is costly for the same reasons and additionally it can easily damage and any damage causes it to suddenly have virtually zero value.
Easy, thousands of smart, motivated people, billions of dollars invested and decades of work!
Thanks. But why is there no un-distorted photo of the lego set from the right perspective? That would be the most interesting thing IMO
I hadn't considered that steam could carry tiny particles of minerals, but it's obvious now that you point it out. So demineralized water would probably be closer to pure H2O. I've never noticed demineralized water at my grocery store, but maybe that's just because I've never looked. But I will next week!

The different between a few hundred meters and a few miles is pretty darn significant. A literal order of magnitude in fact
Yeah, I'm not really sure why people are talking like this feature on Google isn't working. We must be missing something... (unless it was a transient bug).
That's a great feedback actually, thank you.

We'll add the disclaimer before the install instructions instead!
It's not a flawed premise! It's bad wording.

The premise is, given an inelastic supply of housing, more immigrants means more of the supply occupied by them, leaving less of the supply available for non-immigrants. Point out a flaw in that, if you see one.
In somerville MA about 10 years ago someone was selling mini easter-island heads as lawn statues, which I though was a great idea.

Yup, iPad and Apple Pencil do an amazing job, either with the built-in Notes app or several third party apps. Even better with a screen protector like the Paperlike that gives a little tooth to the screen to make it a bit more like writing on paper.
A simple Python implementation of the ReAct pattern for LLMs (2023)
Tokyo battles surge of destructive raccoons that went from pet to pest
One issue you will encounter is that many of the LLM calls are hidden and nested below abstractions in tools like LlamaIndex. You will need to integrate with these libraries or users will not be able to get the granularity needed.

See LangFuse as an example. It is what I am using
This is exactly the kind of tool I would want as well. I was surprised nothing like this exists already.
Step 2 is wrong, you want a signature, not encryption. For RSA that's more like a decryption with the private key, though still different because the padding isn't the same.
The Delta Emulator is changing its logo after Adobe threatened it
My previous employer has this happen with OCI (Oracle's cloud). Hundreds of servers suddenly deleted do to a internal billing problem on Oracles side.

Luckily they were able to restore from backups, but it took a full day and there was still significant data loss (the delta since last backup).

Since those servers were used to host the companies own cloud managed offering it ended up affecting all of their own cloud customers as well.
Italy Will Have Europe's Biggest Debt in Three Years, Scope Says
It's straight-up, black-and-white securities fraud.

You defrauded the shareholders because you led them to believe that you were not doing a thing that most of your customers would find odious. So they bought stock in your company believing that you were not doing a thing that would obviously lead to backlash if anyone ever found out. And then the stock went down when someone found out, and they lost a lot of money, and now you're out of a job and maybe in jail.
The shader compilation stutter reminds me of a video I recently saw where a developer solved the problem by running a large portion of his game during its first loading: https://youtu.be/oG-H-IfXUqI

The developer register himself playing the game and during the first loading of the game, the entire gameplay is replayed at high speed in the background on the machine.

Show HN: Demo of my game CTHULOOT on Steam (Overcooked x Zelda 2D)
Hello!
I’ve been working on the game for few months now.
It’s a coop arcade game where your play a band of (bad) thieves on behalf of Cthulhu.
It’s designed to be easy to play, fun, family friendly.
You can grab the demo on Steam and test the 1h content.
And/or wishlist if you like the game.
Author here. The project started as a way to tag reference counters inside C structures, but ended up being generic enough to roll your own GC.
Given that the requirements are so simple, and they are announced clearly and with plenty of time to comply, this does not seem unfair to me. There are many real-world tasks where an error could result in catastrophic failure--we approach those tasks with caution! It's useful to learn this lesson in college where the worst punishment you can get is just having a grade lowered (and really, when has anybody ever asked you what your GPA was in college).
If this is a vote, I vote yea.

That example HN submission is useless. It is like submitting a redirect URL. The X account name is only provided in a comment.

https://nitter.poast.org/jmechner

This X account holder is probably just using X to promote content that is found somewhere else, e.g., on his website, in his book, in the games, etc.

Suggestion: Submit to HN the original source not the X promotion.
Humility is loving yourself unconditionally, and pride is loving yourself conditionally.

Once you love yourself unconditionally, you can really start to be ambitious. The goal stops being "how can I feel lovable", and starts being about "what could I accomplish".

It's hard but it's the most free way to live.
I would read that x is a collection of 200 intPointers. Is that not correct?
> “We are sparing no effort to protect our children,” Breton said.

I know it's just a figure of speech, but it drives me crazy when people say stuff like this. Same thing during Covid when people would say things like "if it saves just one life, then it's worth it."

His statement is so clearly not (literally) true, otherwise they would be surveilling every adult 24/7 to ensure they aren't doing anything that might "harm" a child. Probably safer to just jail everybody and only let people out under close supervision. Or keep all the children in a centralized government camp where they can be watched and surveilled all the time "for their own protection."

To be clear I'm not suggesting that is Breton's position. I'm merely trying to demonstrate how he clearly is sparing some efforts. So there is a line there of cost/benefit analysis even though he is claiming otherwise. I'm not trying to be ridiculous, but with hugely impactful things like this, I really appreciate precision and clarity of language.
Does anyone know of a tool that can do this for PDFs instead?

It's great until you move your music and the notice that the carefully sorted playlist you kept updating over 10 years doesn't use relative paths and you can't do search and replace because it's binary.
Thank you for the feedback. Our intention is to let users try for 10 days without commitment (no credit card required), so that after 10 days they can choose to subscribe or not.

I see your confusion on pricing. It will be a paid service given the storage and LLM cost. I put "10 day free trial" under the main action button. Hope it can clarify a bit.

A lot of employers mark misspellings on a college graduate resume "no hire". One would never know it, either, because reasons for rejection are rarely given.

This was college, not high school. More is expected from college students.
Where is this egalitarian place with 50% section 8 and 50% not, but built so "you could never tell which units were which?"
I run one of the largest email sending services on the internet. I have been living the “mess” of internet email for over 20 years.

Here’s the thing: despite the internet’s email system being complex and confusing and riddled with problems, it is universally adopted and interoperable. No other open communication tool can boast of email’s massive interoperability.

Any new system will face the impossible burden of winning hearts and minds while the old system continues to chug along with billions of annual R&D spending and dozens of conferences full of smart people working on solving problems.

Even if “MX2” can peacefully coexist in the DNS, why would anyone spend the millions of dollars in engineering effort to move while their teams are busy building the latest layer that’s been invented to patch over the current system?

By all means if you want to propose a new email system, show up at IETF or M3AAWG and make a bold proposal. Someone will buy you a beer while they explain why you are much better off getting into the mud pit with the rest of us and working on the next pragmatic fix to keep things rolling along.
If you go everywhere, you'll rapidly find countries where landlines didn't get meaningful penetration outside of metropolita areas at all.

But even in North America, I don't think every home had two pair all the way to the central office. They might not even all have two pair all the way to the crossbox [1]. It was not uncommon to order a 2nd phone line, and not be able to get it, because there weren't any available pairs on your pole. Especially if your neighborhood was established well before the explosion of the internet and fax in the mid to late 90s.

*the number of seconds in most days
I'll put it this way, I have a project I'm considering where both a Milk V Duo and a pie zero would probably do fine. But if I follow the raspberry pi example, there's dozens upon dozens of examples for me to look at. If I use the Milk V Duo I'm going to have to figure out that stuff by myself.

The libraries for a pi hat might only exist for the pi for example. I guess I could write my own library though.

That and also if you already have other large values, half the time you'd hit the right alignment by accident. Sometimes consistently every time in your app if you're lucky.
Dunno about the "will build AGI" bit being nonsense. Ilya knows more about this stuff than most people.
Hi this is from a comment below on this

"Hey, the model starts with the previous years growth numbers projected out 5 years. You are meant to give your assumptions to get to a valuation.
NVDA revenue grew 125% last year so projecting that out for 5 straight years results in a very high value but is most likely inaccurate!"

I should probably take nvda off the home page lol
This doesn't justify estimation to be equivalent to counting even if some mathematicians consider them to be the same. Floating points are for estimation. Integers are for counting. The two are not the same, not even for large numbers.

I've been curious about "Magic Book" for Markdown/HTML/PDF. (EPUB and MOBI on the roadmap.)

> The Magic Book Project is an open source project funded by New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program. It aims to be the best free tool for creating print and digital books from a single source.

I learned about it because it's used for The Nature of Code 2nd Edition.

The pixel shading of the GameCube were slower than that of the OG Xbox. But, it was quite a bit more flexible. Specifically, the GameCube could load a couple textures, do a bit of math, then use that math to load some more texels. The Xbox could only load textures as the starting instructions before doing math and tried to make up for that with a few "do very specific math and load textures in a single instruction" ops.

But, still... Both GPUs were pretty well suited for this ubershader approach because they had a small, fixed limit on the number of instructions they could run. And, very strictly defined functionality for each instruction. They weren't really "shaders" as much as highly flexible fixed function stages that you could reasonably wedge in a text shader compiler as a front end and only get a moderate to high amount of complaints about how strict and limited the rules were for the assembly. I recall that both shading units could reasonably be fully specified as C structs that you manually packed into the GPU registers instead of using a shader compiler at all.

> I don’t understand why SSD’s or other storage hardware wouldn’t be formatted when you perform a “factory reset”. It seems such a quick, safe and good thing to do, no?

Formatting can be fairly quick, but it doesn’t overwrite all data on a disk. Wiping definitely isn’t quick on “other storage hardware” and may not be that quick on SSDs.

Luckily, as you indicate, there’s an easy solution: always encrypt all data on disk and, before reformatting, destroy the key.

As to this issue: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Because of that, I don’t believe this claim yet.

If it is true that photos resurface on a device that was factory reset, my money would not be on the photos surviving on the device, but on the photos getting redownloaded from iCloud.
So meta that you typed 356 instead of 365
That is one approach that I try to take sometimes. The real problem is more that having to report every morning on work I've done that is in the sprint puts a real damper on my ability to focus on the other stuff. And if effort spent overcoming that isn't even appreciated, why bother? It's just kind of demoralizing, especially after having spent a decade working at a job where I was able to get things done. Live and learn, then get demoted to a position where you can't apply any of it.

I guess if you have a tendency to automate yourself out of a job, it's inevitable that you'll end up somewhere so dysfunctional that it's impossible to do so.

There are a lot of people using merchants of record like Stripe and Paddle. So this isn't the biggest barrier these days
This is a tech website though. It’s not unusual to see Facebook’s parent company mentioned in a hn submission’s title.
This is awesome and much needed. Keep going, forget the overly pedantic folks, the vision is great and early results are exciting.
> Restricting to a subset of ASCII or even just to the BMP does have meaningful advantages, if it's an option for a particular domain.

This is definitely appropriate in some cases, but for Rust specifically gets in the way a lot. For example, &camino::Utf8Path and &str have transparent conversions both ways, in a way that users rely on heavily (passing in a string into a function that takes an AsRef<Path> or AsRef<Utf8Path> is extremely common). If you introduced, say, AsciiPath, there would be a lot more friction -- you couldn't just pass in an arbitrary string and treat it as an AsciiPath.

Again, Schelling point -- without prior coordination you can assume that folks are using strings.
I'm not so great with design so I didn't really know how to do it near the headline since there is already a subtitle there.

Took me about 2 days to make everything from start to deployment.

Main thing was to get the WASM stuff working but that didn't take too long. I found this git repo [1] that already compiled the stuff I needed to WASM. UI took the most time in the end.

"Equivalent" and "the same" are sometimes equivalent. (Or the same.)

It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is.

So shitty neighbors can be slightly less loud. :)
I agree with you. Those models are smarter than us in specific areas. But my question is, can they understand ideology, religion, etc, and feel them like we do? Can they come up with their traditions and beliefs? Because these are the core and evolving foundations of our reality and one of the most primitive activities since the dawn of humanity, I do not see any of these models even getting close to these concepts. They parrot what we told them. They have no agency of their own.

It is also a sign of hubris to think that we can create an artificial construct that is more intelligent than we are.
I get it, and sympathize, but at many companies the decision maker is someone who wants to see dual axis charts. If Datawrapper can't do that, then that would be a point against using it widely.
Was there an alternative to use? Mostly gpg is used for these use-cases, which they support fully.

I've been moving from gpg to openssh and age for my uses.
Where did he claim it is fast? As far as I can see the only claim is that it scales linearly with cores. Which it actually seems to do.

Would you’d like to share? The most analogue I can come up with would be ”Danke für Ihren Einkauf” – but that wouldn't be printed on an invoice. The only place where I can see such a sentence would be on thermoprinted receipts from POS, those small boilerplate nobody reads.

That’s my point: You can make a semantically and possible idiomatic translation but it would be still _culturally_ wrong to use it in this context.

It's a list of links, and they're not rehosting the media, so it's as legal as any search engine or other collection of links.

Of course, for a user to use the dataset, they'd have to download it. Whether or not that's a copyright violation depends on their local laws.

From what I’ve heard, his understanding is correct. It takes a few seconds from when the unit clicks on until the water gets hot. It’s a longer delay for electric than gas.
I think it all depends on the right pitch:

As a replacement for current email only, you're probably right in that nobody would care enough to do the significant investments necessary in a reasonable timeframe, similarly to IPv6 (and the pain there is arguably even greater than for email).

As an alternative to something with the semantics of what companies currently use SMS for (i.e. having ostensibly higher reliability and security), I think you'd see a lot of interest.
So does this mean to be "on-line" you must use Windows or Apple MACs or your Cell Phone ?

Is it unreasonable for someone fluent enough in English to take a class that is entirely in English be able to handle 5 simple rules?

As for other issues, I am susceptible to making certain kinds of mistakes in programming. I've learned to double/triple check those to compensate.

Is it really a big ask for people wanting a business degree be able to spell business? Oh the humanity!
> Check out mailing lists or usenet.

These aren't really good "social media" examples. Both mailing lists and Usenet have limited retention, with mailing lists there may be almost no retention beyond the amount required to deliver a message.

While low retention might be a desirable feature and something you might actually want in a FOSS social network, it means old content will disappear from the central server. If it's not archived by clients it can easily disappear or end up locked away only in private backups. Google's buyout of Deja News should be a cautionary tale of retention and the locking up of public data behind a private gate.

Usenet history today is largely only available because someone at Google hasn't noticed Google Groups still exists and terminated it yet. If that happens tomorrow there's not any good complete archive of historical Usenet content. There's no guarantee Google won't kill those Usenet archives in the next year let alone the next five years.
