I get that if I'm truly mixing one and the other, but if I'm consistently using tabs for indentation, I mostly want them to be invisible - I don't want visual noise on every line. I guess if the syntax highlighting makes them subtle enough it could work, but I think that sort of visual distinction only really works if the visually distinct character only rarely shows up.
Not just practical, S-Expressions are a big part of Lisp's superpowers from a UI perspective. You can manipulate code as forms, not text. It's hard to overstate how much of an advantage that brings to a well-configured editor.

When you start thinking of your program as a nested data structure instead of a text document, you start thinking more clearly - you can manipulate this tree representation directly. This makes molding your program significantly faster, closer to the speed of thought. Wholesale refactoring a function might only take a dozen keystrokes to move the forms (not the chars) around.

I have a hard time going back to the syntactic busywork of manually placing ascii characters like a caveman.
> this has about a million holes.

Kind of.

First of all, the DOM is a global artifact. Browsers do not provide any convention to isolate a section of the DOM tree except for iframes and document fragments and there are limitations to both. iframes are slow and not entirely isolated either. Document fragments are better for security as they are isolated from the document object, but they are designed to be worthless until appended to the document. Document fragments were only created to build multiple DOM trees in parallel without waiting to access the document object, because there is only one document object. These performance concerns are largely irrelevant now because the DOM, even with the extreme slowness of query selector strings, is insanely fast.

Secondly, this is about running untrusted code. In applications outside the browser this is super scary. However, in the browser this happens just about everywhere all the time. Any JavaScript code that comes into a page not from a domain you own is untrusted. Go to any page and look at the network tab and its common just about everywhere. The only security safeguard to this, besides the browser's single origin policy, is that all security risks are directly transferred to the user in the browser because its not requested or touching the web server.

With this context in mind talk of security holes is kind of ridiculous to the point of ignorance about how the browser works. As hacky as my suggest is, its still far more secure than how every commercial webpage normally operates.
But it is significant that according to a recent poll, only 31 percent of Russian adults accepted that U.S. astronauts landed on the moon in the last century.

> This is probably an even worse “platitude”. Most people go with the flow so if you’re immersed in a lot of wokism, you will probably end up being woke eventually. Then it just spreads, especially if you couple the wokism with humor. Wokism is tribalism and seems naturally engrained so it’s something you have to actively resist.

I use xpra to run apps in VMS but seamlessly render them on my desktop. Allows me to have a qubes type workflow without using qubes. Probably not quite as secure, but you can disable features for untrusted servers.
There should be a second/third in command on duty when the captain is drinking or sleeping. (and the captain should be off duty long enough for whatever he was drinking to wear off - my understanding in ships often run 4 hour shifts so there may not be enough time but sometimes the second will take a longer shift to allow the captain time to celebrate.)

Of course no good captain would leave the ship in control of a new second in command in hard conditions. However sometimes the second in command would be captain years ago if there was need for a captain but there isn't, and then there is flexibility.
Hello, author of txtai here. txtai was created back in 2020 starting with semantic search of medical literature. It has since grown into a framework for vector search, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and large language model (LLM) orchestration/workflows.

The goal of txtai is to be simple, performant, innovative and easy-to-use. It had vector search before many current projects existed. Semantic Graphs were added in 2022 before the Generative AI wave of 2023/2024. GraphRAG is a hot topic but txtai had examples of doing this earlier in 2024.

txtai has a commitment to quality and performance, especially with local models. For example, it's vector embeddings component automatically streams vectors to disk during indexing and uses mmaped arrays to enable indexing large datasets locally on a single node. txtai's BM25 component is built from the ground up to work efficiently in Python leading to 6x better memory utilization and faster search performance than the BM25 Python library most commonly used.

txtai is Apache 2.0 licensed and all code is available at https://github.com/neuml/txtai
I ski mostly in the Northeast and my old, unsharpened skis work just fine for me. I don't ski double blacks now (for the knees that feel it much more than 30 years ago) but I am doing just fine on single blacks and below.

Do I ever wish for a sharp edge when I occasionally end up on an icy plate scrubbed by snowboarders at the end of the day? Yes. But so rarely, that I never care enough to actually sharpen them.

Why humanity is a cosmic tale of despair and hope
All the time. A block (in the general sense so that includes function) which ends with an expression will have that expression’s value as its own value (/ return). A `;` converts the trailing expression into a statement, which does not have a value, and thus the block returns `()` (the something representing nothing).

Method chaining is also common in Rust, because builders are common, and chains of iterator adapters are common, and chains on monadic structures (option/result) are common, … having every line break implicitly insert a `;` would be horrid.

Because the legitimate argument "it is against the wishes of the model" masks the underlying, foundational but hidden reason, which is "it appeals to the prurient interest of men in women, which I find detestable". Thus, finding another model who both consents to having her picture used but still appeals to the prurient male interest fulfills the stated claim while frustrating the unstated one.

There's a very simple legal phrase which is "knew or should have known" - the CEO knew or should have known. It's that simple.

If you are the CEO and you did not, you should have, and you are responsible. It doesn't really need to be more complicated to incentivize rooting out evil - if we hold people responsible authorities (those with power) who should have known, they will figure out a way to increase integrity of their organizations instead of spreading accountability through infinity vendors.

My college scholarship never looked at my high school transcripts. Instead I was put through a series of interviews and testing to measure my abilities and gauge my likelihood of completing my degree.

At the end, degree programs were recommend to me. Courses, books and some associated living expenses (childcare) were paid for. I had regular interviews all through college to measure my progress - and help at the ready when struggled.

Developing talent in house makes no economic sense if you can find affordable talent already developed somewhere else. Especially since your in house developed talent can bail once they got some talent.

Ask around if any of your friends have a 3D printer. For a one-off personal project that needs an RPi case most people with hobby printers would probably not mind. It costs pennies in materials, the only thing it uses is printer time, and hobby printers are usually idle 90% of the time.

For electronics housings, the material should be PETG, ABS, ASA, or any variant of nylon.

Respectfully, this is incorrect. That would be like telling someone who games competitively that their GPU and CPU don't matter. Once you can tell, you can tell.

If you gave a blind test, same exact skis but varied the tuning, most serious racers would be able to tell you what changed after a few turns. Edge or base bevel angles, wax, tuned or de-tuned. I haven't raced in years and I wager I would do pretty well on that test.

There used to be "work release" programs in high school, where specific students could get off early and get class credit for certain jobs.

I was never clear on what made a job qualify for those programs. I think it depended on the individual and their relationship with the school authorities that made the decisions.
In a previous job, I got way too many "segmentation faults" from Quickjs-emscripten and silent errors and project was put on hold. I will probably use an engine which works correctly on more programs and has an officially blessed wasm bundle if I had to do it again.

Seconding ILDA. It's been the standard for decades and it is well documented and easy to interface with either at the software/library level, or even at the signal level. [1]

You can get a cheap "RGB" laser projector on eBay for ~200 [2]. It will have red, green, and blue lasers, and the interface will be willing to combine them 7 ways. A more expensive laser will have "analog" mixing for closer to true RGB. It will also likely have no documentation, and might be weird. I have one of these.

For something with better documentation, supported API, and lots of active development, check out Lasercube [3]. It has WiFi, a documented API, a Github repo with a client, and the base software is also really cool. This is my next planned upgrade.

Be careful: Most of these lasers put out 500+ mW and will instantly destroy your eyes if you make a mistake and stop scanning. It's not an exaggeration. Find out what wavelengths your laser outputs and get certified glasses to wear when working on it.

Show HN: Building a lead gen tool for technical founders
Hi HN,

We built a tool designed for technical founders/DevTools that returns a list of high quality leads and the toolstack of those leads.

The data is sourced from employers' job postings, which we've found to offer high accuracy mentions of their existing toolstack, and additional context about the company, i.e. information that can be used to make that first cold email more meaningful.

While we don't have a UI yet, we wanted to already test out our tool and provide help in the background.

1. Go to https://chapter.show/

2. Input your email, and search criteria (ICP and toolstack)

3. We'll send you a list of leads. The more specific the input, the better the results.

Example use case: imagine you're building a tool that makes e2e testing 2x faster and want to sell to companies that use Cypress or Playwright.

Our story: We're founders and felt that the existing tools on the market weren't built for us. We don't need flexible data models, nor do we want to watch our credits enrich some data. We just wanted leads and information on why they're good.
There's tools that can measure them. A low end is just a piece of metal that fits the edge with no light coming through. You can use a true bar and look with a loop or magnifying glass.

>the data is the limit

Most people don't know exactly how the dataset is "fed" to the training pipeline, but with the current state-of-the-art you can say the feeding is like when a human reads aloud a text, not re-reading ever, not a single word.

And then you're asked about what words you've read most often, their order and how many times they appeared in the text. Then, with those numbers you just gave, some probabilities are calculated and anotated, and there you get a "token".

There are obvious improvements plausible to be applied to that basic processing, and most are being applied already, but there's plenty of room for evern further improvement apparently.

Claude says that the previous text could be described like "a simplified metaphor of model training", so you're warned about simplicity.
