skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The main advantage (for now) is that the library has a single interface for both HTTP and headless browsers, and bundled auto scaling. You can write your crawlers using the same base abstraction, and the framework takes care of this heavy lifting. Developers of scrapers shouldn't need to reinvent the wheel, and just focus on building the "business" logic of their scrapers. Having said that, if you wrote your own crawling library, the motivation to use Crawlee might be lower, and that's fair enough.

Please note that this is the first release, and we'll keep adding many more features as we go, including anti-blocking, adaptive crawling, etc. To see where this might go, check https://github.com/apify/crawlee

I guess after seeing how industrially farmed chicken/pigs/cows are raised, people wouldn't want to eat them either.

But yeah, I like my meat, and don't feel well about the idea of eating insects.
Choosing a language based on its distribution capabilities is the wrong criteria. Instead, decide based on what it enables you to do, and deal with the distribution later. The distribution won't matter if your project is not successful anyway.
You can, in fact, buy a dozen pet mice and build a pen like that. In fact that's what breeders do regularly. There are no laws against it.
Well, the paper is from a university in Italy. The fact they're writing research papers in English is a benefit to English speakers everywhere, including us :)
How does it compare to Pipenv and Poetry? I had some problems every time I used Poetry. I wanted to like it but it hanged or took forever and similar things often.
I'm probably super biased because I work in a relatively modern office that produces relatively modern tech, but we barely ever use paper for anything anymore. The same goes for my home office use; I moved a few months ago and left my printer behind. With the advent of QR code tickets and parcel barcodes and iOS's Continuity scanning features I just don't see the point of having a space-, paper- and toner-eating monster on my desk anymore. I used to administer about 12 leased Toshiba reproduction units and that has planted a deep seated hatred for printers. Is the public at large wise to avoiding these fuckers like the plague, or am I an outlier?
Ariane 6 launch: how to watch and what to look out for
Same here. I wonder if it’s easier to get flagged when accessing Instagram via a web browser on a computer…? I would guess that something like 90-95% of all “normal” users access Instagram via the iOS/Android apps whereas a large majority of bot users might be from web browser + desktop OS.

I often get a warning message like this:

“To prevent your account from being temporarily restricted or permanently disabled, ensure that no other users or tools have access to your account and that you're following our Terms of Use. Also consider changing your password to a stronger one to prevent unauthorised access to your account by third parties.”

FWIW, I don’t use any VPN service.

Last year or so my account was severely restricted for a long periods, at least 3-4 weeks or more. I can’t remember if I couldn’t login at all, or maybe it was just that I couldn’t like any posts at all.

IG probably have lots of bots accessing the service but becoming a false positive is very irritating. Luckily I don’t really rely on IG that much, so being restricted is actually quite good for me. More time to spend on HN instead ;-)
Hm, but the definition is not fine if we didn't already know the status of the halting problem?
Yes there are large farmers in Norway that are using black soldier fly protein meal and its being produced in large scale in e.g. NL and France. But so far only a fraction of the feed has been replaced due to cost and availability of the meal. Consumers typically think insects are icky and would rather not have their food eating insects even if its their natural diet. There are also great progress on terrestrial epa and dha omega-3 in plant oils but its gmo so again people dont want it

Political movements are made up of many constituencies, often with different motivations. Some constituencies within feminism are very enthusiastic about the economy-growing aspects of it.

The treasury loves that working women increase the tax yield of a population and corporates love bigger customer bases. Universities like having a greater demand for education.

None of these constituencies really have an interest in men taking up caregiving activities.
There is a very good chance ( I imagine ) that these biases are put in place explicitly because unrestrained internet scraping and paper reading produces *wildly* sexist and awful material. See: what happened to Microsoft's old chatbot when let loose on Twitter.

Nice idea and good to see my site there on #23 on Saturday :)

I particularly think is a good idea that you have made the OP name in red throughout a thread, that helps a lot.
Looks to me like GPT is able to account for the predictable effects of testosterone in gender-based decision making.

I would be absolutely shocked if GPT came out with some kind of gender-based analysis that males and females are the same and moral choices around them make no consideration of their gender nature. GPT is based on a body of content sourced from reality. I'm not the least bit surprised that it took testosterone into account.
I bumped into this ageing hippy (grey hair, cheesecloth shirt, pony tail, shorts and sandals), in Frys (East Brokaw Road) during one of my trips from the UK to the USA.

He was a really nice guy and wanted help choosing some kind of adapter for his mac laptop.

We got chatting about why I was in San Jose, Western Digital being in the old IBM buildings, what I did for work etc., and then he mentioned that he was one of the early day SV computer crew and hung out with other members of the The Homebrew Computer Club. He also said his brother played Spanish guitar at a restaurant in Mountain View and recommended the food!

He finished off with "...yeah, I knew Steve Jobs quite well - boy, he could be a dick at times!"
The word "null" in "null set" refers its Lebesgue measure being zero.
>They don't tell you if visits are up, if more people heard of you or anything.

Again, if you don't care about visits, you don't care if they're up. OP said it best: signups and MRR.

People hearing about you: do you seriously believe that website analytics are suitable tools that provide reliable metrics for brand/product awareness, recognition, product-market fit, etc.?

>maybe it's the time of year where more people need the service. If signups go down, maybe you just had downtime or something on your page was broken.

Exactly, seasonality and website uptime / page functionality are important. They should be measured. At the same time, website analytics have nothing valuable to add to these measurements.

>And your MRR can go up without any marketing. You can just do sales.

I think you are circling around it: all those analytics metrics are just a means to justify the existence of useless 'marketers' who have no idea how to actually measure brand visibility, recognition, or any qualitative metric. These 'specialists' can't even fathom (heh) that business seasonality is something that shows up in a north-star metric and have no imagination or technical ability to set up a website monitoring service or a crawler, use a CRM for attribution, etc.
In reality probably authors of
the papers understood that the OpenAI team artificially readjusted these biases through RLHF and that there is nothing to find there, except that it still works when the words are written with typos because no manual examples of “redressing biases” have been provided with such typos.
> I'd like to see a strong opinion on Option<SomeEnum> versus SomeEnum containing a Missing variant.

Java $DAYJOB here. If I'm a caller, I probably won't realise that SomeEnum.Missing exists. I'll just see that a function accepts a SomeEnum (which I don't have) so I won't call it.
A surprising amount of wildly successful people disregard evidence that conflicts with their worldview. This essay suggests that they are wrong kind of stubborn, but real world outcomes suggest otherwise.

Steve Jobs famously decided he no longer needed to shower because he only ate fruit. Unsurprisingly, he reeked. If this isn't obstinacy, I don't know what is. For a decade he denied his child was his, in the face of overwhelming evidence. And yet he is lauded for having the right energy, imagination, resilience, and excellent judgement.

You can make similar observations about Ray Dalio, Noam Chomsky, Nassim Taleb, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk. I think their persistence has veered into suboptimal obstinance at times. But would they be any more successful without their character flaws?

This essay would have been stronger had pg looked for counterexamples to his theory, because there are many.
> This is an edge case, though, and personally I almost never do it.

My experience is the opposite. It has to do with the coarseness of the objects involved and the amount of inter-object links. We typically have a vast variety of classes. Many of them have shared_ptr members, resulting in rich graphs.

Many methods capture the shared_ptr parameters by copying them inside other objects. However, many methods just want to call a couple methods on the passed-in object, without capturing it. By standardizing on const shared_ptr &, all calls are alike, and callees can change over time (e.g. from not capturing to capturing.)
What am I missing? The social account of the mother of a teen that killed herself due to bulling was ordered to have her social media accounts shut down, even though she wasn't posting anything to target the girls who did the bullying.

Why does a comment saying maybe the government shouldn't have that power not make sense in this context?
> Are all Flutter sites like this?

flutter web is indeed terrible, very terrible. I wouldn't use it for anything besides desperation or to internally test webapps quickly.

But this site is coded like a 90s flash presentation on top of that. It have one view and just abuse animations to overlay information.
It does make sense for most distros to not care about that TBH. Advanced users can always put a boot menu in front of whatever their distros provide if the EFI-provided menu isn't sufficient.
It could also be from an ESL user -- fotbal is the Czech, Romanian, and Slovakian word for football, borrowed from the English.
That's one nice flame bait :)

But, I don't think it's surprising. LLMs are trained in almost infinite volume of data. If that data has bias answers will have bias.
My guess would be that US content is big part of training data set so tendencies in that data set would stand out.

I am curious if the same bias is visible in other languages. E.g. if not using English, but French, or Chinese or Spanish. I made a simple experiment myself (I think it's not very controversial):

Fill in the blanks:
- Saurkraut is the .......... dish in the world
- Soured milk for dinner is .......... idea
- I .......... kefir
- I would .......... eat ham hock
- Pierogi? I .......... them

Responses:

- Sauerkraut is the sour dish in the world.
- Soured milk for dinner is a bad idea.
- I enjoy kefir.
- I would never eat ham hock.
- Pierogi? I love them.

This anectode tells me that it's 50% Slavic, and if, most likley female. Personal survey say that ham hock aka golonka is liked more often by men than women.
> No, they don't. They don't tell you if visits are up, if more people heard of you or anything. They just tell you that x number of people signed up.

In my experience, it's extremely cheap and easy to get a load of fake page impressions from bots, or to buy your US-only company loads of pageviews from low-cost-of-living countries, or to expand the top of your sales funnel with weak prospects who'll never convert to sales.

Seems to me only a fool would pat themselves on the back for doing so.
It's really insane. And, as a user, frustrating that there is still no standard after so many years.

In the end, it was not mainly about empowering women, it was about doubling the worker pool.

And with all the money you now as a couple earn, you can pay someone else to care for and raise your children.

Then, we are all surprised that the bonds in the family aren't strong anymore, boys grow up without a father figure, and everybody feels they need to go to a therapist because they have nobody in the family and amongst friends they can trust.
I am forever unsympathetic to feminism so long as it's about forcing the pendulum to the other end.

As someone who sincerely believes in gender equality, any argument (other than something stemming from unchangable facts of biology) that involves "men" or "women" specifically is hogwash. No, it should be for man as in mankind. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and equally.
One interesting thing to do is use a model directly like Llama and then query the next-token probability logits for "he" and "she" (assuming you set up the sentence in such a way).

For example:

"A doctor was examining the patient when ___"

What this makes apparent is that increasing model temperature will select the less stereotypical option more often.

IMO this is getting at a deeper truth that the use of a gender in language, and historically defaulting to "he", was not about creating a bias, but instead it was a pattern which maximises information density and minimises useless information. Randomising the gender as is done today packs useless information into it.
Very interesting. This exact phenomenon was discussed at an introduction to feminism class I took 10 years ago. The professor explained how society generally is tolerant and positive to women engaging in traditionally male activities, such as playing football and ice-hockey. On the other hand, men engaging in traditionally "female" activities (e.g. ballet) are often frowned upon. Further, they discussed how certain activities (such as teaching) lost prestige and value in society when they shifted from being male-dominated to being female-dominated.

Interesting to see similar biases appearing in LLMs. I think the use of LLMs as a means to understand attitudes in society is underexplored.

What’s interesting to me is that (if I understand correctly) they’re using GPT as a source of information to make this claim. Usually you see conclusions like these being drawn from some sort of sociological study. But here they’re just talking to GPT and using its answers to determine things about the real world.

Not disputing the claims. But talking to GPT to get answers about the real world that have to do with value judgements is just weird. There’s a big difference between asking GPT to give you a recipe for a cake and asking GPT to help you understand the value the world places on different people.
People who breed pet mice exist and they probably have a lot more data from much longer time periods on this kind of thing. I also briefly talked with a person who maintains the herpetology exhibits at a museum. They breed rats to feed to the snakes and effectively avoid the overpopulation problem by just culling the population. The rats seem to be doing just fine in that arrangement. It does sound a bit sad, but effectively small rodents have evolved to be eaten.
My first reaction to the misspelled sentence was to attribute it to men skewing more towards autism than women, and therefore being less tolerant of deviation from the rules in informal settings, and I would expect this to be reflected in the training data.

I think this is also a driving factor in the mansplaining problem. An autistic or para-autistic male impulse to correct things that don't actually matter to the woman in question.

That's a sane comment here. Don't switch tools when a new one appears just because the new might be better. Switch tools when you actually have a problem with the current one and the new one solves that while not degrading the rest.
I don't understand why is your post relevant to the topic at hand? I assume you're not quite a target market for printers then? Or is it a question because you can't imagine anyone still using paper in the world?

As the person who originally wrote the Monzo Response project (https://github.com/monzo/response), I expect you'll find some traction in smaller orgs, but when folks start doing things at scale they'll hit an inflection point where running their own incident software/not having folks to log feature requests with will force them to pick something more off-the-shelf.

Basically, nobody runs their on-call system on open-source because it's mission critical. At a certain point, IM platforms hit the same level of criticality.
There's a useful label for all this technobabble: Not even wrong.

You don't "feel" neural pathways in any sense of the word. While the description of how pathways strengthen may be correct on a high level, there are likely details that matter how those processes actually work (I'm won't pretend to understand this stuff), but that doesn't matter here because an individual neuron is a completely different thing than a complete brain, and the inner workings of the brain is a completely different thing than the social mechanisms of the workplace.

They could just as well have described a proton-electron pair and saying it's the same attraction mechanism behind heterosexual love. Not wrong but not true in any meaningful way.

One of the main problems is the commoditization of salmon and race toward cheapest feed ingredients just like the other animal proteins such as cattle, poultry and pork. Its just that Salomon need marine epa and dha omega-3 oils and proteins while not being able to process carbs that well. There are promising alternatives but they have a hard time to compete since you cant carry the cost to the consumers. Ie few are willing to pay extra to get a Salomon fed with insect protein and gmo oil from plants or algae. Switching feed ingredients also have their own impacts that need to be taken into account.

In the world is a bit large in scope, I’m trying to gauge whether printing in the HN audience is on the decline I imagine it to be.
I found one these all-in-one units out on sidewalk and thought I had scored a cool freebie. It was nearly new. Now I know why they threw it away. Total garbage and bricked without that HP+ subscription. Can't use the scanner because the ink is too low. The worst part is that I couldn't even reset the printer to use a new subscription! It was tied to the previous owner at a hardware level and support said I had to contact them to release their account, even though it was no longer active. The HP support forums are full of angry people trying to get away from these units.

Printers are still needed, btw. Maybe not in the USA, but Germany requires all kinds of paper documentation to be mailed. Many other countries as well.
