You are correct, that part of my comment was more a feature Kotlin multiplatform which Compose is built on top of. When building with Compose it has been a really nice experience to just call out to Foundation APIs on iOS in the same way I can from Swift, which has been the most impressive part to me. In Compose for Desktop apps you use JNA for native access IIRC. Kotlin multiplatform itself can compile natively to macOS, Windows and Linux without JVM, but you'd be running in a separate process to your Compose app which is JVM based on desktop.

Apologies my original comment was unclear on that.

It's also just common sense. If you make it easy for anyone to sue a journalist in a way that requires them to reveal their confidential sources, the sources are no longer confidential, and people in the future won't feel safe sharing information with journalists for fear of being exposed through bogus lawsuits.

We've fallen into some kind of long-form desert.

I used to read programming books not for a laundry list of features, but to get inside the author's head and start thinking about programming the way they did. It's not as simple as a simple declarative statement. Many times the author themselves couldn't express the value I got. I don't see how you reduce that any and I'm not sure I'd want to consume it if you could.

So, let assume corruption exists (because… duh).

And that there is always a risk of a government trying to overstep and get privileged information they shouldn’t.

No amount of laws are going to really stop this from happening if a corrupted government is driven enough.

I am wondering if there is a way that this could be solved with technology so they could say, it’s impossible to comply.

Something like after published it’s encrypted and inaccessible but then that defeats storing it in the first place if you can’t decrypt it and if you can you can be compelled.

Maybe it’s not realistic but a thought I have had especially comparing to some other situations where the government wanted some data but it was impossible to comply thanks to encryption.
SQLite is a great database but it's not suited for applications with frequent writes or write-transactions that take longer than a couple of milliseconds.

I tried basically everything in this blog post with our Rails business application and none of it really works in practice. I expect the same to be true for Django.

The reason is that with Rails, you usually end up with a bunch of callbacks on models which cause "long" running transactions. For example, the application writes a record to the database, then uses the newly generated primary key to create a bunch of related records, etc. With a reasonable amount of business logic, this means that a transaction can easily run over 100 milliseconds. Not because the database is slow (it's not), but because the application may do all kinds of slow stuff in between the different statements that run in a transaction.

SQLite is single threaded when it comes to writes, so when an average write can take 100 ms, your throughput is already limited to about 10 transactions per second. IMMEDIATE transactions are indeed necessary, to wait dor the database to be ready before attwempting any transaction. Because at least it is easy to have a backoff/retry strategy before letting the framework run its transaction logic.

However, even with just a handful of active users, I needed to make sure that waiting transactions were retried a large number of times, to prevent users from getting a 500 error and requiring them to perform the same action again. However, users were complaining that the application was slow, and I had the metrics that told me the same.

Eventually I just switched to Postgres and all of the issues just disappeared. The users also immediately told me that the application became much more responsive.

I did notice in the metrics that a lot of the read operations actually became slower, as SQLite is really efficient at doing lots of small reads as compared to a client/server model database.

I do still think that SQLite is very suited for production applications, but only when it is read heavy or has very lightweight write transactions.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It's in the category of "you better have a damn good probable cause" if you want to forcibly intervene with publishing.
As far as I understand lifetimes are already in the types, just elided most of the time. (That said, the type system is already full of marker traits, so keeping complexity from growing more and more is always an important goal. Hooweeever, this also means that people are pretty used to markers, so their individual cost is amortized over all of them basically. And adding one more might make sense, especially if it can be elided in general.)
Lovely results, both in the original and in your posts. It’s interesting that by using a particular medium we can achieve very “warm” and human-like appearance even for drawings done by the machines.

Two things:

1. Americans (in particular) often bemoan how inefficient the government is as a reason to cut government services. In truth, government progrtams are designed to fail. This is a highly successful strategy called "starving the beast" [1].

As an example, in 1996 then-president Clinton enacted welfare reform. One provision replaced a Federal program caleld Aid to Families with Dependent Children ("AFDC") with state block grants to a new program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families ("TANF"). This allows the state to decide how that many is spent. This has been a disaster for getting aid to those that need it [2] and much more inefficient.

It's this kind of thing that enabled Mississippi's welfare corruption.

2. A lot of effort has been spent and is still being spent to essentially divert federal funds to private (typically religious) institutions. That includes TANF blcok grants but, more importantly, the issue of "school choice", which is really just diverting education funds to religious schools.

Perhaps regulators in diferent countries take different attitudes; in the UK, it's very soft-touch. Only the most egregious, repeated flouting of the regs attracts a penalty.

As far as I can see, the Irish regulator is even softer; you could be mistaken for thinking that the Irish regulator's job is to make sure that US tech companies don't move their server sheds away from Ireland.
Honestly, based on the description in the article, I don't think there would be anything to sue over:

> The new T&Cs state that data may be shared with "vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement".

This may well be the first step in changing the agreement on new sales. I'm guessing there is no shortage of attorneys that would be happy to sue them if they tried to change it on previous purchases.
Of course it is related to the topic.

It is related because the goal of all of this is to create human level intelligence or better.

And that is a probable way to do it, instead of these other, less established methods that we don't know if they will work or not.
random rant not really related to op but spurred by it:

i know it will probably never happen, but it would be 'truly epic' if hard PCIe endpoints became as ubiquitous as say, SPI peripheral blocks, within MCUs/MPUs and the general silicon jelly-bean world.

just a very high speed, very low latency, very widespread, very standard, very boring communication channel. and ofcourse an atmega328p can't keep up with the full b/w, but even something like an rp2040 could take serious advantage of such a fast port.

it would mean that fast information interchange would be available for "anyone", and most importantly, could be interfaced with a bog-standard run of the mill desktop PC.

it feels like, right now, if you want to do pcie stuff you have to either go FPGA, which seem like theyre quite far behind: artix stuff is pcie gen 2, i think gowin announced some pcie4 products but im not sure if they ever became real - and fpgas ofcourse are expensive and drag in a bunch of other considerations that you may not want or may be detrimental to your project... or go for a limited selection of (often closed source) mcus/mpus, thankfully the raspberry pi isnt that closed, but if the rpi doesnt have what you want then you have to go for say a rockchip, or whatever asian SOC that often has a very ambivalent relationship with datasheet availability. and even then they might not support operating the pcie in device mode (might be misremembering)

whatever, maybe im talking rubbish. i remember wanting to make some kind of USB3 gadget and being incredibly frustrated that the only option among the ocean of MCUs was the cypress ezkit bridged to a parallel bus to an FPGA. so lame! i think xilinx offered a usb3 peripheral IP block but it was behind an expensive license. i think since then there have become available USB3-capable RISC-V MCUs, thankfully, but im still surprised that nobody seems to really care about fast low latency data transfer. i guess its just not very important for "real" applications out in the wild.

Ask HN: I have a newsletter Sass Idea don't know it will work or not?
Let me tell you in short what is the idea

Basically I want to build a newsletter platform where :

> users can customize their posts they want to send to their subscribers
> users can automate their posts which will deliver to subscribers based on the automation timing

>users can also upload their company details and train the ai bot which will send newsletters to subscribers from by creating amazing posts from your uploaded company data

> users can send link to subscribers or anyone to take subscription to get premium contents etc

so this is some features i want to add and build my newsletter platform and now want to ask everyone who is watching my post that should i go ahead and start buildling this platform or there is lots of competition is present for this newsletter feature platform
If, say, a fraud conviction 20 years ago should morally not preclude running a business[0], then the simple solution is to require statements of long past crimes to include the date range. That handles the concern about misleading people not thinking it was recent. If you believe in fresh starts, "Bob was convicted of fraud in 2003" is not defamatory. It's redemptive.

If the motivation for banning facts is to prevent people from making non-PC judgments based on those facts, then what to do about making true statements like "Bob is Jewish", or "Vic's legal name is Vikram", which might cause discrimination? Is that True Defamation?

BTW, True Defamation is illegal even in the modern day, in UK, if the the defendant can prove truth sufficiently, with some recent protection since 2013. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_defamation_law

In general, making laws to prevent people from doing reasonable things that cause other people to misbehave, is dangerous ground. Usually better to intervene at the stage of the actual misbehavior.

Feedback, yes. Feedback from interacting with the physical reality by means of physical body with flexible appendages? Useful in general, but neither necessary nor sufficient in case of learning language.

Feedback is fundamental to deep neural networks, it's how they're trained. And to be honest, all of the things 'astromaniak mentions can be simulated and made part of training data set too. While the "full experience" may turn necessary for building AGI, the amount of success the field had with LLMs indicates that it's not necessary for the model to learn language (or even to learn all languages).
>The major exceptions to this are notebooks – MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook – as their internal batteries provide their own backup power. As a result, if you do connect one of those to a UPS, it won’t be compatible with its USB connection that would otherwise be used to trigger shutdown when the mains supply is lost. Notebooks still benefit greatly from the filtered mains supply from a UPS, though.

This doesn't sound right, is this the case? Wont a Mac laptop be powered through a UPS backup power?

[edit] Ah, I think he just means the Mac laptop wont be getting the special over-USB signal a UPS can send that tells it "please shutdown, as the power wont last much longer".

That's OK though, since if I have my laptop on UPS, I'm either there using it (so I can do that myself, if mains power is lost and before the UPS runs out) or it's configured to sleep after some inactivity anyway.

>DDL changes are also tricky

You can use triggers to write DDL to a table which is then replicated (and optionally use triggers or app logic on the consumer side to process them)

>Snapshots

I feel like these are way under documented. You can combine with tools like pg_dump and set "section" or schema only dump. Pgcopydb also supports snapshots or even combined with plain COPY

I recently learned SUBSCRIPTIONS with data copy just automate snapshots, COPY, and appear to have some optimization to speed up initial sync with multiple replication slots (I originally thought there was something special at the protocol level)
