Show HN: Scipress.io – a Markdown writing platform like Notion Medium MkDocs
Scipress is a writing platform with VS code editor built into the browser. It lets you make beautiful blog posts and programming docs with Markdown.

Scipress supports code blocks with syntax highlighting, Katex, Tailwind CSS, images & videos, admonitions, popovers, blur screens, private posts, and a bunch of other cool stuff. You can also monetize via paywalls, if you want.

I started this project almost a year ago to the date. This is my first time posting about it on HN. And if you're curious, I have made $0 from this project (but not for lack of trying).
At this point we don't know if the Netflix show "showed things fairly far from the truth". She said she wasn't convicted for stalking (then again her literal words are it's a lie she is convicted for staling twice...). Should be pretty easy to prove or disprove. So I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Isn't there evidence for neurotypicals only _thinking_ they are focussing better and actually not? Also note that this 'high' you are talking about would likely only apply at higher doses than ADHDers actually get.
Even if it started as a fabrication it was pretty quickly adopted by the crowd you’d expect to be using such a hand gesture. IOW “Teehee I’m doing a hand gesture everyone thinks is racist but its not because its an internet joke” isnt the own you think it is.

I have written and deleted a few responses to this. Mostly because all of them turned out rageful, these kind of statements are in themselves harmful. If you only assign value to things which have inherent value then what's the point of society or civilization. Some things don't have to be laws of nature for us to treat them as such. If the only thing you recognize as valuable are things which are inherently valuable then none of any society works.
I don't think it's such a crazy idea to suggest that if someone wants to get a highly-paid job as a Software Engineer then perhaps they should get a Software Engineer degree from the Software Engineering department.

Or put differently: ask any computer science professor employed at a University if they ever required to explain or use CI/CD, or ask Geoffrey Hinton how different his work on backpropagation algorithms would have been if he had had AWS.
more interestingly, the impact on human psyche is basically unknown. We have meh approximations but just like placebo you cannot fake some things, like 'you are not coming back' condition in an experiment.

The permanent dwellings and really whole infrastructure would be underground. Lack of atmo and magnetic field basically forces you to dig down. Limited resources - rudimentary food and water. More less bunker life

On top of that 0% prospect of return. Essentially you are doomed to penal colony for the rest of your life.

I find it hard to believe anyone would want to sign up to that. And the people who would are absolutely people who should not be sent there.

And what happens if earth decides supporting mars outpost is pointless, you want alex jones types create conspiracies that colony is fake and its a tax payer scam? What would that do to minds of those stuck on mars?
I'm probably wrong but the author may have have misunderstood input embeddings. Input embeddings are just dictionary lookup tables. The tokenizer generates tokens and for each token you find its embedding from the lookup.

The author is speculating about an embedding model but in reality they're speculating about the image-tokenizer.

If I'm not wrong the text tokenizer Tiktoken has a dictionary size of 50k. The image tokenizer could have a very large dictionary size or a very small dictionary size. The 170 tokens this image tokenizer generates might actually have repeating tokens!

EDIT: PS. What I meant to say was that input embeddings do not come from another trained model. Tokens come from other trained models. The input embedding matrix undergoes back propagation (learning). This is very important. This allows the model to move the embeddings of the tokens together or apart as it sees fit. If you use embeddings from another model as input embeddings, you're basically adding noise.

Because it's pathetic? Again, this wasn't just one instance of sloppy plagiarism, this was a common thread throughout her extremely thin academic career. And Gay wasn't just some random undergrad, she was the president of what was supposed to be one of the most prestigious universities in the world! The plagiarism scandal was just more proof that Gay was woefully unqualified for her job.

It does need screen recording permissions because trying to do what Bartender does on a closed down system like macOS is inevitably going to require a hack.

The issue is we trusted the dev because we knew who he was and he'd have an angry mob after him if he was caught doing something sketchy. Now that it's sold to an unknown third party, there's no one to hold accountable for this software we're trusting with screen recording permissions on our machines.

> It's easy to get GPT to divulge everything from system prompt to tool details,

It's easy enough to get it to hallucinate those things. It doesn't actually tell them to you.
Also, Im open to your input on this. Thanks!
Some feedback and questions:

1. Firstly, nice work! What a cool idea and a nice looking implementation.
I especially appreciate the light touch of using existing implementations for as many things as possible.

2. Thank you for providing RPMs! This is greatly appreciated.

3. Do you (or are you open to) making professional features source-available for paying customers? (so in other words would you share the source code for the closed portions, obviously with limitations redistributability).

4. I see it's Java, but what UI framework are you using? How has your experience been in it? I used a ton of Swing in the 00s and early 10s but moved to Qt for all my GUIs. I love Qt, but I do have a burning curiosity about the state of desktop GUI dev in Java.

5. I've gotten very conservative about buying software, not because of the money but because of the way "license enforcement" and other DRMs cause pain. Does XPipe implement license checks or stuff like that, and if so can XPipe function without internet for long periods of time?

6. It is very clear from reading your HN post and the website and README.md file that you are passionate, that you care a lot about your product, and also that you are thorough and thoughtful. To me this is a huge selling point because it gives me high confidence that you aren't just shipping fast and breaking things, and embracing the modern "ship it to prod and we'll find the bugs and hotfix them" approach which I loathe. Nice touches like the CLI (which offers very helpful message), and the option to "Quit" or "Minimize to tray" feel very polished and user friendly. I love being asked that instead of just minimizing to tray by default!

Adobe have released a statement on the topic:

https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2024/06/06/clarification-a...

Interestingly the problematic language was already in the terms prior to this update.
I’m guessing old habits die hard, especially among the expert classes. I think the ICD-11 standard (which is used in Europe instead of DSM-V) didn’t make the merge until a couple of years ago. Although as far as I’m aware psychiatrists generally use the DSM internally in their work, and mostly refer to ICD for e.g. insurance reasons.

Also—since I talking about this—I think many in the neuro-divergence community don’t like High Functioning Autism either (and it is not included in any of the diagnostic tools anyway). The reason cited is that it is rather ableist to call it “high functioning” and would much rather focus on the specif disabilities which needs accommodating.
Not only those essential bodies of knowledge, but anyone who has tried to develop not even a novel product but simply a well executed brand knows the level of almost superhuman focus it takes. Implying that much of what is on the shelf is brought to us by such individuals.

That said, this observation is classically subject to survivorship bias. The real issue is the masses of failures underneath, and those who were never even given an opportunity to fail. Their lives were and are also valuable.
Encoding the sequence like that seems like a really clever workaround for some of the data dependency limitations of GPT.

Einstein terms allow Salesforce to use customer data to train models [pdf]
After Slack's kerfuffle a few weeks ago, we wanted to make sure all of our Salesforce documentation had appropriate protections for Customer Data. And lo and behold, Einstein specifically allows Salesforce to use Customer Data "for the purpose of improving and training similar or related services and features...."

Our Salesforce rep says this is so they can train our own specific customer model, but that's not what the terms say.

Has anyone else had luck with Salesforce on this?
Ah ok, so I'll need to memorize the super long password whenever I'm out and about and want to just check something real quick. I guess I'll just put that on the sticky note on the bottom of the computer.

It's the other way around. The widget library was built for Gimp, then took a life of its own. Note that Gimp still has not released a version ported to GTK 3 (but the port is done since last year, in the 3.0 branch), released 13 years ago. GTK 4 has been released 4 years ago.
The question posed makes no sense.

Either it's 1 Software developer full-time equivalent (already happened) or all SWEs (never going to happen.)
Most people didn’t tell a policeman that they were having gay sex. Turing did, so he was prosecuted. The police officer who initially arrested Turing would have had no idea about his security clearance or role in the war effort (which did not begin to be declassified until the 1970s). So what exactly is this “nuance” that you think needs to be added here? Could you at least be specific?

I’d also add that your hypothetical conviction rate of 3.2% is pretty high, considering that people generally have sex in private. As a point of comparison drawn at random, the current conviction rate for car thefts in England and Wales is 2.12%.
They don't like the definition of open source, so they're trying to hijack and change it. This is just shitty behaviour.
>>Someone's still paying for the house flipping.

Of course they are - even in the case of 'flipping', they are at least working to add value. Barring complete incompetence, the repaired and upgraded place is MORE valuable.

>>By definition the flipper makes a margin between what they paid, the repairs, and the price they get at the end.

NO; there is nothing 'by definition' about it. While investors all desire to make a profit, many actually lose money, either due to poor planning and/or execution of upgrades or just ill-timed market downturns. The RISK of loss is reason to justify a profit. Moreover, SQUATTERS ADD ANOTHER RISK that almost guarantees a loss — even if they do zero damage and somehow the costly eviction process is free, the loss of time itself costs money.

>>So why should we encourage house flipping instead of having howners buy the damaged property and pay for a renovation company ? Housing wise the end result is the same, minus the flipping.

YES, I agree, this would be better. However, the result is not necessarily the same. While many flippers have poor or overly trendy tastes so that their upgrades don't add value, individual homeowners are even more unskilled. Plus, people upgrading buildings for a first or second living bring advantages and economies of scale, including buying materials at trade and/or bulk prices vs retail prices, ability to employ workers more efficiently across multiple properties at once, etc. OTOH, the homeowners have the advantage of caring more because they'll live there.

But notice, BOTH of these are ONLY MADE WORSE option by squatters. An investor may take a loss on one of a bunch of properties due to a squatter. But a homeowner who buys a run-down home to upgrade and move into, can be bankrupted by a squatter. Now, you have two homeless families, no just one.

There is simply no justification for giving people the right to steal other's property just by breaking and entering.

If we want to make a process, perhaps akin to found valuables, whereby someone can claim a property, and the previous owner must show that s/he is actively working to upgrade it, I could support that.

I might even support some kind of people can move in, but must cause no damage and move out when caught; a kind of 'no harm — no foul' rule could be reasonable. But, just "gee that looks empty, let's move in, and we have rights greater than the owner!", is a hard NO.
I think this is a really good way to put it. It feels like there's a rush to label and self-diagnose which ultimately results in a ton of pathologization of relatively normal behaviors. That is: "normal" as in we expect to see some diversity of behavior. Maybe less labeling would lead to more acceptance and understanding, which seems after all to be one of the goals...

That's the magic of human beings. Once the joke spreads to the point where the people who are in on it are flashing the symbol for the lolz, it no longer matters how it started or if there is no historical basis for the connection between the symbol and certain beliefs. The association exists now, however ironically.

Oh look, the guy who is racist is flashing the ok symbol. His buddy, who is in the same spaces online is flashing the symbol as a joke. How can we not make certain assumptions about the second person and what they think?
You can try them for yourself. Last time I checked (back on Windows 7) they all worked. I don't think Microsoft has had any reason to remove the old ones, they're just part of the legacy control panel.

The entire point of making this form of ID is to make it a friendly user experience, to create an ID that can easily be communicated by a person over the phone to another phone, to make an ID that is easy to click, double-click, tap (with fingers on a touch surface), double-tap, hold-and-select and tap to 'copy', and so on.

The _ and - symbols make this difficult in the edge cases of all of the above. Do you call it dash, or underscore? Line? Hyphen? Binder-strich?

&etc.

I would have gone with adding the @ and ~ symbols, those are at least parsable in human form as well .. ".. email symbol and squiggly thing .. "

I wish posts like this would explore the relative savings rather than the absolute. On its own I don’t feel like that saving is really telling me much, taken to the extreme you could just not run the service at all and save all the time - a tongue in cheek example but in context is this saving a big deal or is it just engineering looking for small efficiencies to justify their time?

Here is my sort of contrarian take looking at this as a freelance designer who pays the bills with Adobe tools.

Im happy to prosper from the work of other commercial artists while feeding the pool. I’ve used a combination of Bing Image Generator and Adobe’s tools to streamline a bunch of work flows and a lot of the pain points in my day have been smoothed over and made delightful. For me these AI tools are like an ergonomic upgrade, literally saving my eye sight.

Regarding sensitive files, I don’t have any hardcore NDA clients but I guess I’d wait for their legal team to care and carry on. Isn’t Windows itself compromised this much?

Don't count on it. My experience is that funding goes to those who are not serious about autism epidemiology. Back in the mid-1990s, I was at a startup in Silicon Valley with about 100 employees where, during a few year period, 5 of the employees had children diagnosed with autism severe enough that they were barely verbal at best. This struck me as a great opportunity to discover the cause so I contacted a Berkeley epidemiologist who had been funded to do autism research. His comment was simply that "Yes we know that these microclusters exist." and that was that. No follow up.
