> No rename support, it guesses

Git doesn't track changes yes, it tracks states. It has tools to compare those states but doesn't mean that it needs to track additional data to help those tools.

I'm unconvinced that tracking renames is really helpful as that is only the simplest case of of many possible state modifications. What if you split a file A into files B and C? You'd need to be able to track that too. Same for merging one file into another. And many many many more possible modifications. It makes sense to instead focus on the states and then improve the tools to compare them.

Tracking all kinds of changes also requires all development tools to be aware of your version control. You can no longer use standard tools to do mass renames and instead somehow build them on top of your vcs so it can track the operations. That's a huge tradeoff that tracking repository states doesn't have.

I agree, neither submodules nor subtrees are ideal solutions.

Your synology has its own way to store xattrs and alternate file streams, in the @eaDir, so some of the turds may be dropped by your windows or mac client machine. But yes, it also does few of its own things for the other software running on your box, like for example SYNOINDEX_MEDIA_INFO for known media files.

Perl is more powerful but learning and remembering all (or a sufficiently more powerful superset of awk's capabilities) of it is going to take time. The peculiarities of its syntax is certainly not a small set.

Pretty funny that I built an app in Brazil and then this happens right before it goes live.

It would be nice to have stable pricing and not have a fear of different features costing more out of the blue.

Other than this, fly has been a great service, I love the system, the CLI and litefs.

It scares me that internal bandwidth charges will start being added, the application I’m using has a lot of internal transfer which is currently free.
The goal of this implementation is not to be fast, but to be clear.

I am doing some inefficient things (like two pass encoding) on purpose to keep things simple and clear. So using this particular piece of code to judge a language's performance potential is not really the way to go here.
The book and the movie are quite rough, raw and extradry - i don’t mean this in a bad way. The mood reminds me more of eastern productions like tarkowsky (stalker) and the like.
> He mentions that AI might create a world of a handful of trillionaires, but doesn’t seem to see this extreme inequality as an issue or existential threat in and of itself.

I've not read the book, so I don't know the full scope of that statement.

In isolation, that's not a big issue and not an existential threat, as it depends on the details.

For example, a handful of trillionaires where everyone else is "merely" as rich as Elon Musk isn't a major inequality, it's one where everyone's mid-life crisis looks e.g. like whichever sci-fi spaceship or fantasy castle they remember fondly from childhood.
I guess it's the game of tag ("tag, you're it!"). In Dutch it is called tikkertje ("tikkie, je bent 'm!"); as Old English and Old Dutch were very similar, this may explain the -i- in tig, or at least it made it easier for me to recognize the word. :-)
Friendly Captcha | Integrations Engineer | REMOTE within EU | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com

We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

We are currently looking for a (polyglot) Integrations Engineer to join our team.

We think investing in a great developer experience through documentation, SDKs and plugins will pay dividends, and it makes sense for us to grow our team in that direction. The role involves helping us build integrations and plugins for various platforms, and talking to developers who are integrating Friendly Captcha to learn where we can improve. We think the right hire will shape the role themselves.

Our engineering team is remote across Europe, we meet up once per quarter or so.
You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU, EEA or UK.

Interesting. I don't think any trans woman holds that belief though. I think that's something opponents to trans identities repeat as if it were fact to score points.

But it's actually a very progressive gender deconstructive point to make. Our culture does wed gendered traits to sex as if they were immutable when in fact they transition and change with the decades and centuries constantly. 'Performing' the act of wearing a dress in order to appear feminine now was a masculine in recent history, same for pink clothing, makeup, etc.

The fact that some trans women choose to do so is merely a way to conform within our culture and feel more comfortable in themselves within society when identifying with their sex. It's society's fault that we attach gender so closely to sex, not trans people's as individuals. If they want to 'perform' to feel safe and comfortable it's not sexist stereotyping.

Feminism moved away from that thought decades ago. Feminism knows that wearing a dress or makeup or behaving in a certain way is not anti-feminist in any way, nor is rejecting those things either. See third-wave feminism, or 'lipstick-feminism' to learn more about how femininity is not performative or sexist and can be enjoyed by anyone of any sex or gender identity.

The nice thing about Fly is it’s very docker oriented, so depending on your app migrating it off may be fairly straightforward?

My apps are all on Fly but in the regions without big hikes thankfully, so I’m sticking around for now, but it sucks some people are being hit by this…
The argument is that "humans live, but suffer" is a smaller outcome domain and thus less likely to be hit than an outcome incompatible with human life.
Because at that point, getting something to care about humans at all, you've already succeeded with 99% of the alignment task and only failed at the last 1% of making it care in a way we'd prefer. If it were obvious that rough alignment is easy but the last few bits of precision or accuracy are hard that'd be different.

I fail to see a broad set of paths that end up with a totally unaligned AGIs and yet humans live but in a miserable state.

Of course we can always imagine some "movie plot" scenarios that happen to get some low-probability outcome by mere chance. But that's focusing one's worry on winning an anti-lottery rather than allocating resources to the more common failure modes.

Blanchard's typology hasn't been debunked, just critiqued. Which is fine of course, that's much of the reason why researchers publish, so others can challenge and build upon their work.

It sounds like you might not be too familiar with his research though? As he never stated that autogynephilia is the only possible reason why a male may develop an obsessive desire to be a woman. In fact he and his collaborators on this research topic have concluded quite the opposite.

This article presents a good summary of the various different underlying reasons identified as to why this desire may manifest, for both sexes. Worth reading if you would like to learn more: https://4thwavenow.com/2017/12/07/gender-dysphoria-is-not-on...

That said, I don't agree with their advice to prevent children from "cross-dressing", that they mention partway through this piece. Instead, I believe the message to children should be that it's not how someone dresses or behaves that makes them a girl or a boy, women or man, but their sex.
In intellectual terms, I'm currently interested in the fusion of Asian and Western history, reading James Clavell's Asian Saga now, after watching Shogun recently. David Graeber's books are also on my list once I finish the Saga. I've read Bullshit Jobs and Debt by him but I've heard good things about The Dawn of Everything, particularly how European Enlightenment ideas might have actually been influenced by what they saw from Native Americans.

In terms of projects I'm working on, I'm traveling currently and it's a pain to track how much money I've spent due to needing to convert foreign currencies, so I'm building a simple app for that.

Does Discourse have searchable history?

Discord is out not because it's proprietary, but because it doesn't have usable history. They could be GPL and they'd still be bad.
The author claims that we are "between third and fifth point" in the following list:

>i Safety alarmists are proved wrong

>ii Clear relationship between AI intelligence and safety/reliability

>iii Large and growing industries with vested interests in robotics and machine intelligence.

>iv A promising new technique in artificial intelligence, which is tremendously exciting to those who have participated in or followed the research.

>v The enactment of some safety rituals, whatever helps demonstrate that the participants are ethical and responsible (but nothing that significantly impedes the forward charge).

>vi A careful evaluation of seed AI in a sandbox environment, showing that it is behaving cooperatively and showing good judgment.

Have we really gone past the first point? After decades of R&D, driverless cars are still not as safe as humans in all conditions. We have yet to see the impact of generative AI on the intellectual development of software engineers, or to what extent it will exacerbate the "enshittification" of software. There's compelling evidence that nation states are trusting AI to identify "likely" terrorists who are then indiscriminately bombed.

I do enjoy digital life, but you know what else rocks, apropos walking in new cities[0]?

Custom maps, printed.

In fact, I think I prefer printed maps over digital, for personal adventure/navigation needs.

Apologies dang. I've now blocked the reply box / links in my default browser so that there's extra hoops to jump through before I can reply. I should now actually engage my brain a bit better before doing so.
Technically you are right. However my app is using litefs. In theory you could set this up on your own servers. Which is part of the reason I was so interested in it.

However with fly it’s just one command to add a new region and my data is auto replicated there.

That’s super nice compared to manually managing this.

As long as bandwidth costs do not go up drastically I think it’ll be okay.
Yep it's fairly easy to make a bookmarklet for /front but for /highlights it seems to depend on the id of the comment as a cursor rather than the date, so it would be nice to have them both as links in the header bar.

If anything here was immoral it was locking other people's data in a proprietary tool and then denying them the ability to export it to open formats.
Smart move actually. The "+reddit" is something more and more people do on google, and on kagi.com reddit results are ranken No. 1 usually. Seems Googles search result quality will drop even further now.

EDIT: Article explains there is a 60M deal from Google using reddits API so that they can continue delivering results from Reddit. Will only hurt smaller search engines, like Kagi :(

Using google translate, it shows they are planning on upgrading the reservoir to 1 million cubic meters, which is about 264 million gallons from ~58 and that it will fill 3 times a year naturally, 4 times with pumps. 1/3 will be used to just keep the river flowing down the mountain, 1/3 for snowmaking and 1/3 for electrical generation.

Some extremely back of the napkin math (using ChatGPT) shows that if 1.33 million cubic meters of water per year were used at 1000psi (this is a huge assumption) to generate electricity, at the standard 80% efficiency you could do 2,030 MWh per year. A random search for the average price of electricity in Switzerland shows 0.154 euros per kWh, so it seems like this could potentially generate 312,620 euros (at consumer rates...) worth of electricity per year. Given that the idea of pumped hydro is to pump when electricity is cheap and then generate at peak demands...I'm not quite sure how to do that math!

A Chrome Extension for YouTube learners to take notes faster at 10x
Hey HN,

I'm Hirosi, and I love learning new coding skills from YouTube, just like many of you. I got frustrated with constantly pausing and replaying videos to take notes, disrupting my flow.

After 18 months of learning, I realized the process could be much more efficient. So, I created NoteFast—a Chrome extension to take notes faster and more efficiently at 10x speed.

Why you'll love it:

1. Save Time: No more pausing and replaying.

2. Avoid Distractions: Smooth, uninterrupted learning.

3. Learn Fast, Earn Fast: Master skills quickly and apply them sooner.

Check it out here: notefa.st

I'd love your feedback!

Hire some game devs that have worked on path finding in AAA games. They will find a way to partially pre process the map data in such a way that on-device computation can then let the user pick and choose what roads to favor and what roads to exclude.

And as an added bonus they’ll be unrelentingly optimizing your map application to the point where the UI will run at 144 Hz ;)

Unix convention to hide. .Files hidden from ls unless -a used but cd .config/ works fine. It matched the use of . For "this dir" and .. for "parent dir" also hidden by default. It was in v7 on a pdp11, my first experience of Unix in 1980. Probably pre-dated that.
Exactly this - there are differences in what you can require from someone on employment contract and external contracting company (whether that company is single person or not) and effectively making one category into another without actually reclassifying (like employing as employee) is considered fraud in most places.

- WebGPU spec is literally in draft status, so things can still change. It's literally in stage 2 of 5 of spec development

- Neither Safari nor Firefox have enabled WebGPU yet. The fact that Chrome rushed and enabled it by default does not make the spec or the standard finished and ready to be enabled everywhere

- webgpu can be enabled with a toggle in advanced settings in Safari on iOS (as is the case with most new features for in all browsers)
