Your justification for a single syntax is "I don't want to have to look at python and have to parse spaces, curly braces, square braces, etc." But the comment you just replied to said:

>Maybe we'd have editors and viewers where you could configure the syntax however you wanted

I took this to mean that, in this fantasy universe, you could make any source file look however you want. Like tabs vs spaces and pure html vs html-with-css, this is about separating meaning from presentation. Is there a good reason to force the same visual representation on everyone?
The CEO is accountable for culture and hiring, good or bad. If someone below them hired poorly, the CEO failed by hiring a poor hiring manager. As the poster above said, the buck stops at the top.

If some random person on the floor didn't properly log a maintenance activity, that is the CEO's fault for not creating a culture in which proper documentation is properly stressed. Again, the buck stops at the top.

That person on the floor must be, and usually is, indemnified, because it's more important to get open and honest feedback from them on what happened. That way we know the changes the CEO failed to implement to prevent it from happening, and should now implement to prevent it from happening again. This is because the buck stops at the top.
This sounds amazing! Are there any metrics on how often different models pass tests? Has someone used a similar process to finetune an LLM?
Wait. Not every company needs to work like Google Or Netflix? (sorry, couldn't resist). Ops-knowledge is so much in demand that anybody with an actual "DevOps" role has done Ops nearly exclusively.

In all seriousness, this is what I am seeing already. Often I see a platform team providing an Openshift for developers to rule as they want. There is cooperation on some levels and a technical architect who is setting standards.

And most companies don't want to pay the price tag that comes with an actually good DevOps guy anyway.
Yeah but that isn't how the West works. Remember capital is always blameless, individuals that manage capital even more so.

Thoughts and prayers, an inconsequential fine and back to business as usual.

Instead we could be like China and actually punish people responsible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal#Arre...

> The Intermediate People's Court in Shijiazhuang sentenced Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping to death, and Tian Wenhua to life in prison, on 22 January 2009.

> Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping were executed on 24 November 2009.

A much more vile crime but accountability nonetheless. (you can argue about the morality of capital punishment.. but these guys poisoned babies)
Huh. Never heard of it. But after quickly reading up on it, I'm kinda happy that my meter does not have that. Seems a bit overengineered. But that's to be expected from our DE/EU standards organizations, I guess. My meter has been installed around two years ago.

I just stumbled upon this and it was such a blast from the past - I had to share.
i wonder if simd is working. that would be cool.
Making the docs great is often part of what DevRel is meant to do.

ZIRP or no ZIRP, technical people are more respected now and are more often decision makers. I think irrespective of market dynamics, it's more common now for a CTO to be an ex-developer and not just someone who knows how to manage budgets.

This means that any technical product still needs to work on presentation in a non-superficial way. You can't just have copywriters writing "X is the best platform. It's so good. It will solve all your problems", and make sales based on that. You also need great getting started docs, migration docs, explanations and guides. Even before people are actively using those things, they are looking at them and evaluating them to decide whether to buy into your product/platform or your competitor's.

[Disclaimer, I own Ritza a company that offers this as a service, so probably I am biased, but we are seeing pretty strong demand still. So I agree with the article that a lot of the 'do it because everyone else is doing it' parts of DevRel are probably dead, but the need for people who operate at the intersection of tech/sales/marketing is well established now and will exist in some form as long as there are technical companies selling technical products).
So what? Even judges can be wrong. Quite a few of them ruled that slavery was natural and right.
Knowingly placing thousands of lives at risk, including possible state actors - risking international relationships, whilst also risking damages to critical infrastructure, such as airports, certainly would seem to qualify as a dangerous felony.

> I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out what the risk should be, but it should be something that a golden parachute shouldn't be able to resolve.

I agree with that statement, but want so add: I believe that whatever you propose will have significant problems and is likely worse than the status quo in some major way. Sometimes I'll only be able to tell you what those problems are in hindsight. Sometimes those problems are fixable sometimes not.

Don't let this dissuade you from thinking about the problem - it needs to be thought about. However do think about is in more than a shallow way, look at it from all viewpoints (including ones of people who disagree with) try to see what the downsides are and how to mitigate them. Good luck, if enough people do this maybe someone will come up with a good enough answer, (as opposed to perfect!) and you will understand the problem well enough to help debate why the downsides are worth it.
Sharing is caring: How to make the most of your GPUs (part 1-slicing)
I just don't buy this argument. None of what you've listed gives the right to install binaries without permission. A simple opt-in notification could resolve this but they decided against this for ease of use. Free or not, pre 1.0 or not, small team or not this puts users at risk for a pretty bad attack vector.
I do edges every day (usually just a few passes with a fine stone and a light deburring with gummy stone), base wax as required by the conditions.
Oh, you're right actually - mea culpa. I was distracted by the Camp Nou renovation, you're spot on. Although I'm sure Barca will have something equally wondrous.
I was in the same situation. I've canceled my subscription. You don't get much from the subscription. The fact that you don't even get captcha protection was enough to make me cancel.

I've solved multiple thousands of OpenAI captchas going back for months. It is not a new thing for me.

So here's a silly question from someone who's never been near a...whatever you call a place where skiing is done. Skis have sharp edges? Why?
I agree and do not think any company would make that investment directly. Nvidia selling to Microsoft renting to OpenAI, I'm sure you could make that add up to $100B on paper. In the long run the economics are likely much more complicated and consist of "agreements worth $x".
Show HN: I have created a cheaper pet portrait generator
Over the past few years, I have spent over 1000 dollars on Etsy to commission pet portraits for myself and my friends. It's really expensive and takes a long time to deliver, so I created a tool for making pet portraits (petpet.ai) by myself.

I spent a total of 3 months to complete it independently, trained 12 different styles of portrait painting, and support custom canvas color and text.

petpet.ai includes several parts:
a.Pet Portrait Generation - Upload a clear front photo of your pet, and the program will intelligently create a pet portrait painting based on the chosen style.
b. 12 types of portrait styles - including the currently popular modern illustration style, modern watercolor style, detailed oil painting style, anthropomorphic general style, photo-realistic style and so on...
c. Art Photo Editor - Can customize the canvas color and write pets' names on the portrait with beautiful fonts.

I've put a lot of passion into this and hope to get some positive feedback. Much appreciated!

Former junior and Masters racer here. Glad to see there's some very qualified voices in these comments, including a few who are currently involved (as racing parents). I very much appreciate the level of technical detail and accuracy in those comments. I'll talk base bevels all day.

Pretty much agree with everything those folks have written. Most definitely sharp edges, and your bevels, matter when you are really pushing it, especially if you are racing, and most especially if you are on extremely hard or even water-injected snow.

Outside of that type of skiing, the ski tech on the lift was, I think, making a point that is true enough for most "normie" skiers, and inadvertently the blog author validated it with the microscope experiment. The short version is that once your edge angles are set, "polishing" them with a diamond stone should, generally, mostly, be all that is necessary to restore the edge shape after use. No filing should be necessary. If the edge get damaged with rocks or rust, this is no longer true. All caveats apply. The ski tech is just trying to say "don't pay a shop to run your skis through the machine when all you need is to rub your edges with a diamond stone for a minute."

Now, just how practical this is, again depends on who you are. You'd have to be:

- A regular enough skier to own your own equipment

- Good enough to benefit from a tuned edge

- Technical and handy enough to buy a diamond stone and learn to use it

- It has to not be impractical to go through this ritual after skiing (try doing this with two or three young, tired kids in tow)

Anyway I just enjoyed having this be on the front page of HN today. I'm good at like 2 things and this is one of them.
It's more likely that they're using the free tier, and your time in Captcha is helping them train a model and prevent misuse (e.g. shared accounts, scriptures)

Leaning towards the former more.
I think you pretty much have to make that argument work for all cases of restitution (you can't), because at the base of the claim is that the previous owners are minimally negligent, thus should not own the property.
Eh, my current project manager does not even seem to check every detail and we appear to be moving by pretty dashboards, so I expect CEO will have even smaller, simpler dashboard. Fwiw, if CEO got in front of the jury, I would expect things to look bleak for the CEO ( it is not exactly a favored class now ). There is a reason it does not happen often ( for example outright fraud ala Bankman ).
I highly recommend nm-applet in arch and sway. Its just so much less pain having a small ui to use
In this case they've clearly done the opposite.

You seem to be arguing that the C-suite can do anything it wants to. As long as it does it in an official capacity, it can cause whatever harm it wants.

That seems like a very strange argument. Do you believe corporations and corporate officers have no moral obligation to act ethically?

Because if so, I'm finding it hard to understand the difference between a corporation and a crime family.
It's worse, it starts by writing the test so you have to verify if the tests work :)
Gerald Observation Blue Screen
The board is responsible for keeping the C suite honest. They need to be removed.
My understanding on this is that you need to combine dark mode with something that cuts blue light to reduce eye strain.

I've been experimenting with "red mode" for reading at night, I.e. filtering all colors except red and black. Works really well especially with an OLED screen.

According to Wikipedia [0] he was engaged as her tutor. At this stage in his career he had been given a post in the Berlin Academy by the monarch of Prussia, so as long as he was publishing research he could probably spend quite a bit of time doing whatever took his fancy.

I think two reasons:

* Technical reading is a skill. There's a large contingent who might not be conditioned to read more than a StackOverflow answer enough to copy&paste it. I'm not saying this to yell at the clouds, but because it seems to be true, and we'll have to confront it (but hopefully not via videos with 1% nutritional content).

* Lots of developer docs are generally awful nowadays, for various reasons (e.g., written by people who don't know what they're talking about, written by people who do know what they're talking about but write as if they have no model or even awareness of an other, very low priority and not the authoritative information, or organizational problems for docs produced by companies). Even from some of the most major brands, and from hugely popular language ecosystems. So it's matter of trust: if I read these docs, are they competent, and the answer, in many "job skills keyword" topics, is probably no.
Last time this happened to me, my system clock was wrong.
Oh god, has the "rewrite it in rust" crowd finally learned about wayland?
The USN has long traditions of both gross incompetence, and profound disinterest in protecting its own people.
HTML to PDF/A conversion made easy
A video is often an introduction to a concept before you get to the docs. the docs ARE better for getting deep into the technology but someone has to tell you about it first.
In no way does "Turing Completeness" imply the ability to reason - I mean it's like arguing that a nightlight "reasons" about if it is dark out or not.
Identity is a collection of beliefs that are considered a fundamental part of who you are.

It is quite possible for one person to have certain beliefs, and have those beliefs be part of their identity, while another has the same beliefs but does not have them as part of their identity.
I believe, this was an idea in ALGOL, not sure which iteration.

I think, the reason it was never implemented was that more translation = more complicated debugging. It also means that programmers have a more distorted and incomplete model of the program they are writing, i.e. more bugs.

NB. Lisp, as originally envisioned by McCarthy, had one more translation layer (the translated version had square brackets instead of the parenthesis), but it didn't take off for, basically, the same reason.

So... while I understand the benefits you see from doing what you suggest, I think that at the same time the downside makes this not worth pursuing.
I tend to agree that you shouldn't be "aligning" things with spaces anyway. If nothing else, it causes diff pollution when the length of a line changes and you have to add or delete spaces to adjacent lines to keep things even, even though no semantic change to those lines has occurred.

However, regarding "mixing two different invisible characters in the same file" - you can, and should, configure your text editor to display tabs in a visually distinct way from spaces. Kate (my favorite) shows them as chevrons. Geany and Notepad++ show them as arrows. Not only does this make it easier to scan vertically along an indentation level, but doing so also makes it glaringly obvious if a pesky space has snuck in, resulting in a jarring misalignment.
Show HN: Nutrition chatbot trained on scientific research
It's been 3 months in the making and a journey started with an exchange on HN. I couldn't be happier to share progress!
What is Pillser? Pillser aggregates data from thousands of research papers and about thousands of supplements, bridging the gap between scientific research and consumers. Our goal is to provide easy access to unbiased information on supplements and nutrition, empowering you to make informed health decisions.

Pillser Ask leverages the same data that powers Pillser, but also has access to sources like ods.od.nih.gov, nhs.uk, and a dozen more authoritative sources on nutrition. It can give personalized, evidence-based advice on nutrition and supplementation.

The chat is prompted to work with as little or as much information that you feel comfortable disclosing. However, the more variables that you tell the chat (like age, sex, body weight, etc.), the more of these variables are used to match Pillser's vast database of research papers (https://pillser.com/research-feed) to surface the most relevant insights.

In future, the personalization is going to be built into the product. I am working on a health card – you will be able to opt-in to creating a profile on Pillser that describes your age, sex, body weight, existing medical conditions, etc. and Pillser will automatically take these into consideration when you ask Pillser Ask a question.

A few necessary disclaimers:

Pillser generates revenue through affiliate marketing. We earn a small commission on sales made through our website, but we do not promote any specific product or brand. This ensures we provide unbiased information and insights without the influence of advertising. Full disclosure: https://pillser.com/affiliate-disclosure

Pillser is a young project, just over 3 months in development, and I envision it as my life's work. The field of healthcare, nutrition, & supplements is incredibly complex and nuanced, and I believe AI will play a critical role in making it more accessible. However, in this early stage of Pillser, I am still learning how to best utilize the data that powers it. I am putting a lot of effort into making sure that the information provided is accurate, but mistakes are bound to happen, and I am always open to feedback and suggestions. Learn more: https://pillser.com/ai-powered-supplement-research-and-compa...

I don't know yet how exactly the project will evolve over the time. I just know that there is some intersection between people wanting to eat and live healthier and vast amounts of research, and that somehow successfully combining them can create something that people want.

Would love to hear your perspective on the project today and where your imagination takes you!

Hey Hacker News! ReverseEngineerThisSite is a challenge that we put together as a recruiting tool for an open Founding Engineer[1] position, but figured that this crowd may also enjoy hacking around on it (you don't need to be looking for a job). We’ve found it to be a good way to test for very specific competencies we care about while also at least somewhat protecting against AI doing *all* of the work.

Would love any feedback or thoughts if you get a chance to play around with it - and if you know anyone looking for their next role in NYC, please do send it their way

I should clarify, "of the problem given" refers to the problem given in a prompt.

As you note, transformer (and indeed, most ML) models do create a "world model". They're useful for 'specific' intelligence tasks.

The problem for general tasks lies in their inability to create specific models. To stick with the board game example: The model can't handle differently shaped boards, or changes to the rules.

I could ask a human and a chess-trained AI system to, for a given chess board state and piece, what places that piece can move to. Both have their model of chess.

But if I then ask, "With the rule change that the pawn can always move two spaces", the AI cannot update their model. Where for the human this would be trivial. The human can substitue in new logic rules, the AI cannot.

And that is very core of what's required for generalized logic and "thinking" in the way most tasks require it. What's so troublesome about current generative AI is that it's trained to be extremely general (within the domain of text generation), so their internal models aren't all that good.

Ask an LLM the chess problem above and you might even get a good answer out, but it doesn't generalize to all such chess problems, especially not more complex ones.
Certainly if it was downgraded only by the time it reached phase 6, then I would expect it to have gone through that higher scrutiny in earlier phases (including lab testing). My guess is that the existing lab testing was inadequate for surfacing issues that would only appear at production-scale.

If each of the six phases was a distinct set of config changes, then they really shouldn't have been bundled as part of the same network upgrade with the same risk assessment. But, charitably, I assumed that this was a progressive rollout in some form (my guess was different device roles, e.g. peering devices vs backbone routers). Should these device roles have been qualified separately via lab testing and more? Certainly. Were they? I have no idea.

Do I think there are systemic issues with how Rogers runs their network? Almost certainly. But from my perspective, the report (which was created by an external third-party) places too much blame on the downgrade of risk assessment as opposed to other underlying issues.

(As you can see, there is a lot of guesswork on my behalf, precisely because, as you mention, there isn't enough information in the executive summary to fill in these gaps.)
I grew up in Maine skiing at Sunday River but spent my entire childhood in the park never once cared about my edges. Had I been in the pipe, maybe a different story.
Sounds good to me. We'd end up with aerospace companies run by engineers who understand the technical decisions in detail, instead of MBAs and accountants.
