skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Nitpick: IDs that can be correlated back to a real user is pseudonymous - not anonymous - according to GDPR[1].

You should still pseudonymize your PII wherever you can, but protection measures are required.

You should have a short term log retention period (i.e. not something like 2 years, unless you are legally required to store all the data for this period). If the log retention is too long, even if you can prove you need this data, you would still have to handle data erasure requests (a.k.a. "the right to be forgotten"). Setting up a way to delete all log entries for a certain user ID could be an alternative to a short retention period.

The other feature you want to have is encryption (both in-transit and at-rest). Encryption is not a hard requirement in GDPR, but almost no "technical" measure is. GDPR Article 32 mentions various technical measures (including encryption and pseudonymization) and requires controllers to implement them while "[t]aking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons".

Here we have to do some interpretation, but generally the accepted interpretation[2] is: "state-of-the-art" refers to methods and techniques which are widely available. Cost of implementation is strongly tied to risk: high-cost technical measures are not required unless the risk is equally high.

Since encryption, pseudonymization are simple, cheap and have widely available open source implementations, it's a good idea to make sure everything is encrypted.

Restricting access control to log data is another measure that is trivial enough to implement, that it becomes a practical requirement. I've seen a lot of cases where the entire company or org had unrestricted access to logs containing PII in the past. This probably won't fly with GDPR.

Lastly, I would make sure the logging infrastructure and everything connected to it, follows industry standard security measures (at least OWASP Top 10). It sounds obvious, but I've seen a lot of cases where logs have been treated as "non-critical" part of the system ("they're just logs!") and had not been reviewed or tested for security. If you suffer from a data breach and investigation reveals your logs were not properly secured, you'll likely be fined.

So in short, if you want to play it safe, all of the below:

- Pseudonymous IDs

- Short retention period (in accordance with other laws)

- Encryption

- Restricted access

- Industry-standard security best-practices

I assume it happens all the time for investigations; for example, those headed by Microsoft’s anti-malware team, which posts often enough about such takedowns. Domain registrars do have terms of service that can be enforced against malware sites.

> Namecheap expressly reserves the right to deny, cancel, terminate, suspend, lock, or modify access to (or control of) any account or any Services (including the right to cancel or transfer any domain name registration) for any reason (as determined by Namecheap in its sole and absolute discretion
This is not enough.

First, as another reply above has mentioned, other data in the logs (such as IP address, list of friends, browser fingerprint) can be used to de-anonymize the pseudonymous ID.

Second, GDPR makes it quite clear (for the reasons above) that pseudonymized data, is still considered personal data. Pseudonymization reduces the risks, but does not remove them entirely. It should generally be combined with other measures such as encryption.

For a space based solution you have all the costs of solar, plus launch costs, plus the receivers are very large and costly themselves.

It’s never going to be cheaper than solar, but it does have the advantage of working at night and through cloud cover.

In the very long run it might make more sense to launch whatever’s using the power into space as well, saving on the cost of the transmission and receiving infrastructure, but also removing further sources of pollution from Earth.

"The dash shell is actually reasonably pleasant for interactive use when compiled with libedit."

For me it's the preferred interactive shell. When compiling dash with libedit, I edit dash source to enable tabcomplete. Then it feels more like NetBSD.

I've been running an experiment using busybox bash instead of dash as both interactive and scripting shell; have discovered numerous busybox idiosyncracies as a result. One thing I like about busybox bash is it's command history search: Ctrl-r. A bit faster than libedit.

every metal atom requires two electrons (or three for some metals), and you typically need 1–3 volts, and sometimes there are side reactions that waste most of your electrons; probably 'faradaic efficiency' or 'coulombic efficiency' is the term to google

> You can multiply vectors in any number of dimensions by scalars, which is all we need for averaging a bunch of vectors, with weights.

Thanks for talking yourself into agreeing with my point:

Even for an expected value to make sense, you don't need a 'number'; ie you don't need a field, and you don't even need a ring. You can use a less restricted structure.

> It is absurd to think about what is the expected value of a random experiment that produces the words "red", "green" and "blue" with various probabilities.

Why is it absurd? It's perfectly possible to define the result over a suitable 'free' structure. (In fact you can always do that, even for 'numbers' and then later collapse that free structure into something concrete.)

Btw, it's perfectly possible to define some weighted average of colours, if you wanted to. But that's about as relevant as the different not-quite-multiplications you brought up.

> It doesn't exist as a category, not due to a calculation problem. I.e. it's "not even undefined".

Free algebras are perfectly well studied structures in math. They 'exist' just as much as anything else in math does. And, by definition, they have all the right properties we need to define the expected value.

---

> You can multiply vectors together in 2D (complex numbers) and 3D (cross product). Also 4D (quaternions, non-commutatively).

Those operations are often called 'multiplication', just like we often call any random group operation 'multiplication'. But there's no vector multiplication you can define in general (for all number of dimensions) that would give you a field or even just a ring. So they aren't really the kind of multiplication we need.)
Hopefully the reality is that the interviews were for a serious attempt to learn things, and then the ai summaries were a separate "just for fun" thing that someone with a bit of downtime decided to do.

> Today VEIR’s system is passively cooled with nitrogen, which runs through a vacuum-insulated pipe that surrounds a superconducting cable.

That makes sense from the theoretical point of view, but runing a vaccum tube for kilometers with liquid nitrogen inside with some superconductor inside looks very difficult.

> Last year in Woburn, Massachusetts, a power line was deployed across a 100-foot stretch of land.

It's a good start, but very short in comparison to power lines. Did they deploy the line on the floor or hanging in the air where wind and birds can deform it?

> VEIR’s first alternating current (AC) overhead product line is capable of transmission capacities up to 400 megawatts and voltages of up to 69 kilovolts,

That's almost 6000 Amps. I'm not very updated with modern high temperature superconductors, but they use to not like very high currents.

Show HN: Gosax – A high-performance SAX XML parser for Go
I've just released gosax, a new Go library for high-performance SAX (Simple API for XML) parsing. It's designed for efficient, memory-conscious XML processing, drawing inspiration from quick-xml and pkg/json.
https://github.com/orisano/gosax
Key features:

- Read-only SAX parsing
- Highly efficient parsing using techniques inspired by quick-xml and pkg/json
- SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) optimizations for fast text processing

gosax is particularly useful for processing large XML files or streams without loading the entire document into memory. It's well-suited for data feeds, large configuration files, or any scenario where XML parsing speed is crucial.
I'd appreciate any feedback, especially from those working with large-scale XML processing in Go. What are your current pain points with XML parsing? How could gosax potentially help your projects?
That's ok, I don't need my language model to do math. My calculator does that just fine.

It's a very self directed game play. You explore the world, defeat monsters, fight other players, solve puzzles, and complete quests. Some people might focus on leveling up skills, others might just want to do the quests. You can talk to other players or team up to defeat monsters. It's similar in principle to OSRS or Runescape Classic.

My plan is to develop content for the next year or so, make sure it's pretty stable, and then see what happens from there. There could be a membership option that unlocks more of the world or more playtime or something. I figure I need to make an actually good game though first before I think about monetizing it.

Are there any tools out there that expose GPT or Claude to a codebase, and let it write PRs (semi) autonomously?
Can anyone comment on its coding ability?

Considering cancelling my subscription with OpenAI as I was previously using GPT-4 quite heavily as a multiplier for myself, guiding it and editing outputs as required, but GPT-4o feels significantly worse for this use case. It is certainly better in many other areas, but its coding ability is not great.

I tried to revert back to standard GPT-4 but it is now so slow to respond (higher load?) that it breaks my mental flow, so I'm exploring other options.
You're training it on data already, which by extension will contain information about the game.

Training a randomly wired net is like pretending that the training data won't give it pre-conceptions, when the training data is what drives the model.

For those unfamiliar with orbital mechanics & aerospace engineering, who wonder about raising the ISS into a much-higher (long-term stable) orbit, or fixing it up and continuing to use it:

Trying to raise the orbit: The ISS orbits very close to the "bottom" of the zone of vaguely-stableish LEO orbits. Really-stable, "vacant" orbits, suitable for long-term inert storage - those are far, far higher. Think of having a reproduction Viking longboat on the beach. Pushing it "down", into the sea, is work - but not too much. Vs. if you wanted to push that longboat uphill, to an elevation of a few thousand feet? Vastly more work.

Trying to keep using it, long after the lifetime that the Materials Engineering & Mechanical Engineering experts designed it for, might turn out like this:

https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/falling-to-pieces-the-ne...

- except with all the astronauts dead.

As complex structures under load (like pressurized ISS modules) age, the properties of the materials they're made of change - often for the worse. And microscopic cracks form & grow, joints (intentional or not) work and wear, inelastic deformation accumulates and shifts stress to areas not designed to withstand it, and so on.
Most power plants (coal, gas, geothermal, nuclear) and some solar plants already use a heat engine. Modern designs can capture nearly half the heat energy for use as electricity.
It's also worth noting the SK has some pretty terrible laws around the internet in general. Distribution of porn is illegal there and they do their best to block it from outside. They are pretty big on cyber defamation and will go after people who make fun of government officials[0]. They have a comparatively low internet freedom score because they do things like fine middle schoolers for having anti-government websites and the president pursues legal action against YouTubers[1].

It's pretty interesting when coming from the west where all the problems are often spoken about in the open. I mean the great American past time is complaining about the government. But in SK there's a lot more trust of the government and similarly, a lot more control by them. And it is a fairly tight knit group and there's only a few companies that dominate the country.

I was also using 4o

So... 4o is not confident that only humans qualify as dependents?

I think even a very junior front-line customer service rep should be able to answer that one confidently.

It seems that what the model is actually doing is prefixing "Uhhhh" when your question is leading in a way that doesn't match the data it has. The fact that the IRS requires dependents to humans should be answerable with an extremely high confidence, and that data is without a doubt in their dataset... but again, the model doesn't actually experience human confidence or uncertainty.
It works a lot better on mobile.
I've been playing around with it this week and its coding ability is insane (for a LLM). I've given it some pretty sloppy descriptions about things I want to do and it's managed to figure out exactly how to do it on the first or second try, I'm talking things like building animations in React that cannot be described with text very well. Big pain point is copy and pasting things back and forth to have it edit them. If it was integrated and could see my local files, that would be killer. I know there are various companies working on that, but the jetbrains AI integration for example is garbage compared to the results I get by manually asking claude.

I wasn't worried about how this would affect our industry a few months ago, but this has me reconsidering. It's like a junior engineer that can do most tasks in seconds for a couple of cents.

You're right - electroplating isn't traditionally very fast. Much of the system has been engineered to drive a build speed that's relevant for mass manufacturing while maintaining material properties (think 100-1000x faster than typical electroplating)

Pretty cool! Two of my cheesy old stacks are included in the massive index card and one of my original online friends from the days of eWorld has his stack featured on the second card (the "Are You A Space Alien" stack).

I notice that this simulator doesn't load XCMD and XFCN plugins; I distinctly remember using an XFCN to include graphics in pop-up windows and my stacks running in the emulator don't trigger that functionality. It doesn't affect the main stack functions but no one will ever find the easter eggs in my stacks without them.

>> GPT-4o feels significantly worse for this use case

Interesting. I felt GPT4 was virtually useless and GPT3.5 was the best, then came along GPT-4o and it instantly became the only version worth using.

I find GPT-4o to be extremely powerful and useful.
