Where does my convenience fee go if not to securing my data? Court should order a rebrand to Ticketchump
That'a true and Julia might be a solution but I don't see the adoption happening anytime soon.

But this particular problem (per row computation) have different options to tackle now in hep-python ecosystem. One approach is to leverage array programming with NumPy to vectorize operations as much as possible. By operating on entire arrays rather than looping over individual elements, significant speedups can often be achieved.

Another possibility is to use a library like Awkward Array, which is designed to work with nested, variable-sized data structures. Awkward Array integrates well with uproot and provides a powerful and flexible framework for performing fast computations on i.e jagged arrays.
Ask HN: Which database would you choose for a blockchain?
OK, OK, I said the cursed "B" word. Feel free to mock me for being in the crypto space.

That said, I am in the process of building a blockchain (funded and all, not a hobby project) and I am exploring the various database options.

The only requirements (just lol) are:
- Must be completely local
- Must be very performant especially in concurrent reads and writes

I am using sqlite3 as a dummy but of course it is not suitable and not scalable enough.

I was wondering if PostgreSQL might be an idea but I am very basic in my knowledge of databases.

In your opinion, given the high throughput and concurrency, where should I start looking?

Bonus points if it is open source of course
What is the difference between a simple backend and an easy backend ? Not sure that I pickup the nuance
No, they did not do that. This is disinformation. As Cass herself says in this BBC News article:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68863594

> Dr Cass was asked about particular claims spread online about her review - one that "98% of the evidence" was ignored or dismissed by her, and one that she would only include gold-standard "double-blind randomised control" trials in the review.

> She said the 98% claim was "completely incorrect".

> A total of 103 scientific papers were analysed by her review, with 2% considered high quality, and 98% not.

> "There were quite a number of studies that were considered to be moderate quality, and those were all included in the analysis," she said.

> "So nearly 60% of the studies were actually included in what's called the synthesis."

> And on the "double-blind" claim - where patients are randomly assigned to a treatment or placebo group, getting either medicine or nothing - she said "obviously" young people could not be blinded as to whether or not they were on puberty blockers or hormones because "it rapidly becomes obvious to them".

> "But that of itself is not an issue because there are many other areas where that would apply," she said.

> "If you were doing a trial, say, of acupuncture, people would know exactly what treatment that they were getting."

You can of course confirm this yourself by reading the report and the systematic reviews commissioned to inform it, rather than listening to social media bullshitters.

Also, Cass has talked to a variety of different groups with different views. For example, this is a Q&A she did with The Kite Trust, an LGBTQ+ charity: https://thekitetrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Cass-...

Please try harder not to spread such easily disprovable falsehoods.
The Hunter Biden's laptop thing continues to be an intelligence op and not "real". It has not been "verified".

Of course it does contain some real content, since it was constructed from a hack of his iCloud account, but that doesn't validate anything else on it and some of the earliest claims about it seemed to involve eg planted child porn. You only find it credible because those were successfully suppressed so hard you don't even remember them.
Yup! I’ll get on it!
I’d love to see that built in as well.

The devonthink crab-bucket community is hostile to any use of LLMs but I don’t think they understand how the app would structure and augment the input and output to keep it from returning fanciful output.

It could be state that uBlock Lite works fine for what it actually does, but it “only works as well as the normal version” if you ignore the features that uBlock Origin has which it simply does not.

And those features make uBlock Origin much more effective. With Lite, filter lists can only update when the extension does (delaying new filters which stalky advertisers will use to their advantage as they can update faster than the extension), some filter types not supported, no element picker and other options for crafting your own filters, no external filter list support, …

> Do you have any info why this CVE is still unpatched

I'm not sure, but it's the tip of the iceberg. There are plenty of uncaught and unpatched vulnerabilities across all environments, and plenty that have not been reported because vendors like Zerodium will pay premiums for zero-days.

> Is what you're talking about Alpine-specific?

Yep! That's the point - vulnerabilities can be caught and known, but patching might not be provided, leaving environments open to attack.

> similar bugs may not be even known as of now). Virtualization and containerization-based approaches would be a go-to method for reducing potential surface affected by them

Virtualization as it is today is fairly vulnerable to escapes, but this is why the US Govt has been funding Secure Enclave/Trusted Execution research for 10-15 years now.

Basically, complex vuln-free code is highly unlikely to ever exist. That said, these are very difficult to exploit by some random attacker as these are fairly complex.

If you are at threat of being targeted by NSO Group or Zerodium enabled attacks, you are already on the radar of a country's Law Enforcement/Interior Ministry/Dept of Homeland Security/Intelligence Community and any attacks on your phone are the least of your worries.

Exports of these products are heavily regulated and require sign off from the government (eg. Israeli offensive security products like NSO's Pegasus require sign off from the Israeli MoD and PMO)

Your best solution is to buy a phone that is very well supported and constantly patched by the vendor (Apple, Google, higher model Samsung are fairly well maintained) as they will push critical patches if and when a vulnerability is found.

Feature phones and more generic smartphones won't have that level of support due to margin constraints.
> Any of the other open source K projects are better than this (more complete, less buggy, better documented).

One thing that puzzles me, about array languages, is that despite several open source implementations already existing, like J, its surprisingly difficult to find them packaged in Linux repositories. For example, you can't just "apt install J", or "apt install gnu-apl" on Ubuntu. In J case, it seems the default is just compiling it from source. Is there something tricky about packaging them?

The closest to a repository-friendly array language I could find was the klongpy implementation of klong[0], that is pip installable.

I am using a ZimaBlade (2 cores, 16gb DDR3L RAM) as my cloud server, and an old Nvidia Jetson NX (very outdated ARM CPU with negligible GPU power) as my email server. I also run a bunch of frontends and apps on both. They work flawlessly.

Of course is domestic use (indeed, homelab), but I am pretty sure a good NUC (pay attention to thermals!) can be used professionally.

On my old job, we used a raspberry pi 3b+ as a VoIP server and we were in the process of moving a bunch of hosting services on a mid-tower server which actually was less powerful than nowadays NUCs

What I find most strange about the modern day piracy is quality. It blows my mind how different groups fight to offer the best version of a free thing. And they’re so good at it, that the pirated product is usually substantially better than the official version.
Auto updates work for me with the same setup. I'm curious as to why it wouldn't work for them.
So, I've found that a mix of VPS / Cloud is great for me.

I have VPSs with Ionos, they're cheap and for the rest its all over GCP, functions, scheduler, firestore, storage, CDN and Cloud run are convenient tools.

Namecheap for domains, feels reliable.

Maybe switching to Hetzner for VPS if I need bigger ones, feels reliable and good priced.

I agree with you in principle, since a computer’s a computer, but the Steam Deck is so different and specifically made for gaming that it’s really hard to count it amongst the Linux fold. We don’t count the Switch owners as computer users of BSD after all.

And if you’re trying to make Linux into this paragon against the AI invasion, a portable console connected to the largest gaming store in the world is not a winning move. With how fickle Valve is, they’ll go all in on AI any day now.

For me the point is not privacy, simply this war is lost.

The point for me is data availability, I do want to own my data. So for emails and service I do own my domain name, so I can change third parties services, if I use any (email) in a transparent manner for my correspondent. I own the domain, I own the mail address, my website URL etc, I have a "home address" on the net.

Similarly I do use third party email services, simply because hosting one myself meaning ending up too often in GMail and co spam, BUT, I own my mails because I do not keep them on third party IMAPs but on my homeserver, the mail provider is just a relay of my "incomplete" mail infra.

For contact I've used Radicale, now testing https://github.com/tchapi/davis

For files I have a desktop centric setup, the homeserver run a paperless-ngx instance with "a certain set of docs" meaning I do not mirror my org-mode/org-attach entire home structure to paperless but only some selected docs to have them available on the go via mobile if I need them and simple webdav dir to share some if needed. I do not want OwnCloud considering it a monster I can't really know by it's mere size so I prefer giving up with it.

I've tried Immich and Jellyfin for my photos and movies/music but they end up essentially unused.

For RSS TT-RSS is far from perfect but can handle conveniently a significant number of posts quickly skimming them also on the go.

Wireguard is nice enough to encapsulate my services

To make it short, my point is not avoid a company like Google than choosing another like Proton, my point is being able to have and work with my data if some services disappear in a snap.
Functionality is, at this time, extremely limited (and the first kfun was out in January so I don't think there's really any intention to get this to usability on a short timeframe). No support for paired syntax like parentheses, functions in braces, and square brackets for indexing and function calls. No stranding or tacit functions. I doubt it's Turing complete. Many primitives are unimplemented and others are flaky: for instance calling count (#) on an atom can give an arbitrary number, print garbage, segfault, or allocate memory until it's killed. But it's got vector instruction support.

If you're looking for a practical k implementation, I recommend ngn/k, and several other implementations are listed at https://k.miraheze.org/wiki/Running_K .

Fair enough, thanks for the criticism. Here a few more studies:

https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10...

> The LCKD improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes such that diabetes medications were discontinued or reduced in most participants.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22673594/

> The LCD and LCKD had beneficial effects on all the parameters examined.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6024764/

> LCD can improve blood glucose more than LFD in Chinese patients with T2DM. It can also regulate blood lipid, reduce BMI, and decrease insulin dose in patients with T2DM.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34338787/

> The VLCK diet appears to control glycemia and decrease body weight for up to 6 months in people with obesity and diabetes. Beneficial changes in serum triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, along with reductions in antidiabetic medications, continued in the VLCK group until 12 months. However, the quality of currently available evidence is not sufficient to recommend VLCK diets. A major limitation of the VLCK diet is patients' lack of adherence to carbohydrate restriction.

So sure, there are issues with adherence and the volume & quality of data here. That doesn't invalidate the trends seen across every study that looks into this. It's more than one study and, within each study, it indeed seems to benefit most participants.
Ask HN: Is mastering prompt engineering a productive use of my time?
Or will this whole idea that we need to learn exactly how to chat with a computer to get the desired output a fools errand which will become obsolete in the near future?

For most of the last year I thought it was a thing that only hobbiest were doing. But I’m starting to learn how many established companies and their very educated engineering teams are just leveraging OpenAI and its relatives by sending paragraphs of text to them. Paragraphs with instructions they’ve spent massive amounts of time fine tuning.

It would seem to me that this is not the best way to get insights out of LLMs in a desired format. Calling a function where you can break
down the criteria you want it to use for its input and output seems much more efficient.
Yet we still don't have a safe & resilient alternative for using Kademlia tables.

Furthermore there is some indication that people experiencing type 2 diabetes are suffering from essentially a worn out pancreas. In other words their insulin resistance is a result of constantly eating more sugars/carbs than the organ can keep up with. Switching to a keto diet instead of supplementing insulin gives the organ a break where it can actually start to heal and return to a more normal insulin production routine, ultimately meaning that these people can eat a donut occasionally without requiring the insulin supplement like they otherwise would with a traditional treatment plan where their body hasn’t been given a break from the onslaught of glucose. This can be life changing for a type 2 diabetic, because their lifestyle returns to normal outside of paying attention to their diet.
The Gothic Wars left Italy devastated and earned the long term enmity of people living on the peninsula who sometimes preferred the Germanic warlords to the bloodless sociopaths ruling out of Constantinople, opening a wedge that would continue to sow division over the centuries. Those wars depopulated the remnants of Rome that had persisted through the prior sacks, and left Italy even more defenseless against future invasions. Justinian had to destroy Rome to save it.

The rapid eye contact before totally ignoring someone is an urban thing. There are simply too many people. And the people who violate this norm are either really bad at social interaction, or they want something. Or they're lost and need help, which is fine!

But even today, the rules are different in rural areas. If you live on a dirt road with a dozen houses, and you run into someone you don't recognize, it's pretty common to say hello, and maybe introduce yourself. The neighbor who never talks to anyone stands out.

On a hiking trail, you nod, say, "Nice weather," and keep walking.

The point is that every social environment has a "normal" behavior. People who pick up on that normal behavior probably understand the basic rules of society. People who ignore that behavior are less predictable, or are deliberately breaking the rules.
Hello, dev here, thanks for your feedback.

Emojis caused a lot of ink to flow. I am a very visual person so I think emojis can help me when working (like icons of every app) but I noticed too that it changes the indentations, it can be disturbing. As of today they are just stripped from the title because it is just a PoC but they can be integrated in the admin panel later on.

Good guess the DB is SQLite! Fastest way to go up and running for users. It was a good choice for the proof-of-concept but we may need to change later.
I fast once or a twice a year for 3-6 days, and I practice "one meal a day" most of the year.

My first fast was difficult, I did not supplement with electrolytes, slept too much and basically spent the duration watching series and feeling awful.

It is much better to go outside, work and try to follow your regular habits.

Electrolytes supplements are a must, and also some paracetamol during the first few days to reduce the inconvenience of your brain switching from glucose to ketones.

Fasting is easier the more you do it, partly because of calibrated expectations and less fear but I also think that the body simply adapts.

The only difficult day is the first one, for me.

The mental clarity thing is not a boost, you won't gain IQ points or intellectual stamina, more like slightly enhanced mood and more stable/regulated mental performance.

Truly people have completely lost it because of the AI hype.

There are facts. They are not probabilistic, they are just that: facts. Despite Mencken's 1917 long essay "A Neglected Anniversary" which became really popular, the bathtub didn't arrive to the United States in 1842 and it didn't became popular because President Fillmore installed one. A Kia ad in 2008 still referred to this without realizing it's a made up story to distract from World War I. https://chatgpt.com/c/6b1869a7-c0d7-46e9-bcb5-7a7c78dc3d53 https://sniggle.net/bathtub.php

Notably in 1829 the Tremont Hotel in Boston had indoor plumbing and baths (copper and tin bathtubs) and in 1833 President Andrew Jackson had installed iron pipes in the Ground Floor Corridor and a bathing room in the East Wing. Well before 1842.

There's nothing probabilistic about this.
