Maybe I haven't used Emacs for long enough but I don't think any other editor could be any better except the commercial ones which you have paid for maintenance.

The thing I like about Emacs is that the community really supportive of hacking the editor to work the way you want it to work. The new LSP and tree-sitter feature are both originated from the community! The community's preference of keyboard-centric editing is also quite appealing to me.

Admittedly, without any configurations Emacs is not very good to use, and improper configurations such as lack of `with-eval-after-load` can lead to slow startup. Poor Garbage Collection mechanism and lack of multi-threading makes it pretty slow at times.

However, I can see that the community is still very active, and with the existence of the many community-maintained configuration (Doom Emacs, Spacemacs, etc.) you can defer many of the configuration burden to people who care and only focus on the features that you are using the most. Hopefully this can translate to slowing down the "emacs bankruptcy" to a rate that is slower than your own configuration commit frequency, then "emacs bankruptcy" can be practically irrelevant. Combining this with introduction of official LSP (and unofficial DAP) it should be able to stay relevant for a long time.
Not only it is slow, it has so many idempotency issues that it makes it barely usable.

Oh, I've read this before. It's far older than 2022 as the URL suggests. I remember this great quote:

> The neat part is that the first stage kernel boots in roughly 1.5 to 2 seconds. It's not really appreciably slower than other boot methods while at the same time exposing a substantial amount of pre-boot functionality.

That sounds 1.5 to 2 seconds slower than just having efistub in your main kernel image, which honestly is a LOT. Of course not possible with problematic drivers like ZFS but then you don't have to use those.
That's just a cookie. And then you're back to the annoying consent banners.
Consumer motherboards haven't had gpus for a while now (IPMI usually comes with one, so servers do), they're built in to the CPU (if they are, not all cpus have them). These can't usually be easily allocated to a vm.
You got quite a few seo garbage-level nonsense replies. In my experience, you are right, and most tracking metrics have long since become the (vanity) goal to justify the existence of these 'digital marketers'.

It's funny that they spout nonsense about better UX or how you wouldn't be able to do CRO when you'd just laid out two metrics that are actually important and don't require any website analytics to track.
> Tracking impact of your changes, seeing if your users are getting lost after changing something [...]

The change of adding obnoxious tracking of course accounts for some user loss itself, which it cannot measure.
On some of those "modern" websites, that show me a whitescreen without JS, I check my uBlockOrigin and see the domain of that website and some Google shit? Tab closed. No thank you, I will go elsewhere.
The solution to scalping is simply to not buy tickets from scalpers. Never did, never will.

How hard is that really?
The rust compiler does not include in your binary any unused code. Unless libtwoplustwo uses the entirety of libkitchensink, the latter is not entirely included in your binary.

This is not true for python, or external libraries, or appimages, or docker containers.
Part of the point is that computability is different from knowing how to write a program that actually computes the desired value. We can say a program exists to print whether P=NP (whether it is computable) without knowing how to come up with a concrete implementation of that program.
It probably depends on how for you go with the fingerprinting. If it's only user agent, I would guess it's ok. If you start adding more and more info to the fingerprint, it will become PII at one point.

Not sure about how much of IPv4 must be anonymized. If you want to be sure, just anonymize the whole thing. Important to make it random, and not use a hashing function that always gives the same output for the same input IP (in that case, it counts as pseudoanonymized and can be PII).

Also, IANAL, just a dude who is passionate about online privacy.
To offer another possible analogy, beavers with nothing to gnaw on have dental abnormalities that eventually cause them to starve to death.

Did the lack of adversity and hardship cause them to fall into fatalistic fugues? Nah, It's just an unmet physiological need that isn't generalizable to humans.
> If you pass

> foo(shared_ptr<bar> const&)

> you incur an extra pointer chase in the callee.

Actually this is usually not the case (assuming of course that caller is holding the original pointer in a shared_ptr<bar> which is the use case we were discussing.)

That shared_ptr<bar> instance is held either on the stack (with address FP + offset or SP + offset) or inside another object (typically 'this' + offset.) To call foo(const shared_ptr<bar> &), the compiler adds the base pointer and offset together, then passes the result of that addition - without dereferencing it.

So as it turns out, you may actually have one fewer pointer chase in the const shared_ptr<bar> & case. For example, if foo() is a virtual method and a specific implementation happens to ignore the parameter, neither the caller nor the callee ever dereference the pointer.

The one exception is if you've already resolved the underlying bar& for an unrelated reason in the caller.

I do agree that intrusive_ptr is nice (and we actually have one codebase that uses something very similar.) However shared_ptr has become the standard idiom, and boost can be a hard sell engineering-wise.
Show HN: Hackerdaily – What if HN updates only once a day?
Hi everyone!

I adore Hacker News, but like all social platforms, it can easily become a slot machine where every visit brings new posts and comments!

To address this, I built HackerDaily. It only shows posts from the previous day, eliminating the 'slot machine' effect while ensuring you never miss the best content.

Some other key features:

- Improved comment collapsing

- RSS feed[1]

- Dark mode

- PWA

- Open source[2]

I built it for myself, but over 300k visitors have used it so far! I will be improving the site in the coming weeks, so I am looking for more feedback!

Would really like to have a dedicated DuckDB version of this please. Also, add in a few simple tools for analytics - basic chart, pivot table tool, ETL etc. Nothing fancy, just enough to scope out the data before building pipelines/reports etc.

No rush - tomorrow is fine :-)

Thanks.

Iridium has almost the same density as osmium (indistinguishable without precise instruments) and unlike osmium or rhenium it is neither toxic nor radioactive (even platinum is very slightly radioactive).

So iridium would be the safest among the densest metals for contact with human skin.

Unfortunately, not only iridium is very expensive, but it is extremely difficult to shape, being much harder and much less ductile than platinum (and its melting point is also much higher).

Platinum-iridium alloys are much easier to shape than pure iridium, but still much more difficult than pure platinum. In the second half of the 19th century, when new standard meters and kilograms were made for distribution in all countries and to replace the original standards made of pure platinum, an alloy of platinum with 10% iridium was chosen, as the most resistant metal to mechanical and chemical degradation that was known at that time but for which it was still possible to process it into a given size and shape.
Thanks for the screencast. Another +1 for bringing it back to life!
> You can think of booleans as a built-in, two-value enum that has a common semantic meaning.

I love it when a language's bool type is just a sum-type like the sum-types you define in user code, e.g. https://ocaml.org/manual/5.2/core.html#hevea_manual10. It's an indicator of a language with good foundations.

The problem with this study as that mice do not have the collective intelligence to know the situation they are in and there for the input and output is straight forward. If the information is kept transparent to a person human level sentenance the could have entirely different results.

No animal or human deserves to be compared to as their nature while still part of the same kingdom is distinctively different.

Man understands what walls are, what they do, what they mean. It is conceptual and tangible in thought. Pets, the family cat for example, knows only that it is an obstacle. There is no further meaning or allusion, it is to them in all ways just an obstacle.
Yours is not much better.

However, to OP: a facetious response quoting literature is quite unkind. While you may feel that 'audit' means something particular, the fact is that it has a couple of definitions and none of them are immediately apparent (to me, a native speaker).

It's also quite prone to being used as a 'false friend' for something who speaks romance languages in which the normal verb for 'listen' is close to the Latin.

Bear in mind that this is the internet, and no-one can be sure whether English is anyone's first language. As an external observer, I can't tell if you are a native English speaker, and I cannot tell whether the person asking the question is a native English speaker.

A better way to approach the question would have been just to give the benefit of the doubt and answer simply and clearly.

(BTW: there's some interesting discussion of your point of view here: https://blog.oup.com/2022/11/the-return-of-humpty-dumpty-who...)
Some of us strongly prefer things to be presented as they are, without artificial enhancements.

This means that if a movie is shot at 24FPS (as nearly all of them are), and is shown to theater audiences at 24FPS, then it should also be displayed at 24FPS in the living room.

(But if you prefer to view the world through rose-tinted glasses, then you do you.)

Ask HN: What are good resources for building good 2-factor processes?
As the title says, I'm looking for useful resources on how smart people build strong multi-step authentication processes. Especially looking for how people handle the "real life" issues like people changing/losing their phone number, emergency access, etc - I'm not working in a fully E2E encrypted environment, so the range of possible things I could be doing seems very wide and probably someone else has thought about this more deeply and experienced more edge cases than I can right now.
One thing that annoys me about enums is that I'm always afraid that I'll write code like

@enum MyEnum A B
sometest = x == A ? B

Which is correct but that one that I'll add new elements to the enum

@enum MyEnum A B C

and forget to check if that code is still correct. Suggestions?
Who's Afraid of Peer Review? (2013)
why would you please such a requirement on the caps lock key? I personally do not have / use it - ever.
That’s the worst way to define enums. Now you have to make sure your codebase is using the same string literals everywhere and carry the potentially long type definition to every parameter, variable or function return type. And no, compile-time checks won’t cover 100% of cases.

Proving P vs. NP and answering the question correctly are two different problems.

Computability is defined in terms of functions that map the input to yes/no. A function is computable if there exists a representation that computes it correctly for any input and eventually terminates. Every yes/no question where the answer does not depend on the input is by definition computable. The corresponding function is either the one that maps every input to "yes" or the one that maps every input to "no". We may not know which one, but that's irrelevant.

In some sense, computability is similar to probability. Your intuition is wrong, and following it only leads to further confusion. But if you unlearn it and rebuild it from basic principles, things become much clearer.

It is better to think of a vacuum within air to be similar to a bubble underwater.

Air is like water in other ways too. We slightly "float" in air by the weight of air we displace. e.g. 80kg person is approximately 80 litres (density of a body is 1.010 kg/litre). Weight of displaced air is approx 0.1 gram (1.2929 gram/litre). So the floating effect of air reduces your weight (not mass) by about 0.1%.
> download the data and look at it in excel

Oh, that is a whole extra rant! As much as I actually like Excel as a tool for numerous tasks, it gets things annoyingly wrong too.

We've had clients who manually merge or otherwise tinker with data in Excel to feed to us¹ which can cause numerous problems if leading zeros get cut off identifiers that aren't actually numbers but get interpreted as such, and the age-old joke about Excel being a bit of an inv-cel that mistakes things for dates is still very relevant.

Also it requires (as do a number of MS tools) UTF8 files to have the initial BOM, which is actually not recommended as per the relevant standards², or it will assume Win1252 with all the text corruption that implies if your data contains accented characters, currency symbols, or anything else not in the 7-bit ASCII character set. Sometimes we see data where this has happened at some point to some of it, but not all, so the file has a mix of current UTF8 and corrupted UTF8 then encoded as UTF8. Funfunfun.

I feel like this is just what happens when you average out a large amount of the internet and train a system to pick the next word, and is not an issue inherent to LLMs. If you trained one exclusively on horrible, sexist data, you'd get a system that chooses horrible sexist words. If it was perfectly equal, it would pick gender norms essentially at random. Seeing as reddit was a source for a sizable proportion of GPT training data, and there are some parts of reddit that are less than savoury, it's understandable that in some situations, it can choose less than savoury results
For what it's worth 316 is more corrosion resistant than 304 in saltwater environments and I've been trying to find various fasteners made of it for my boat.
Ask HN: Could a LLM Make Mathematica into Python?
Wolfram mathematica has a closed source model, but must give documentation to all its functions. Could a LLM be trained to port this into a Python equivalent?
Interesting but not surprising. The political bias is obvious and present in most GPT models made by Silicon Valley tech companies.

I'm guessing that over time the less castrated AI models will survive, after all I want the truest answer to my question - not the politically correct one.

In essence the bias in here - against men - is a lot like how the Google Gemini model was incapable of generating images of white families, but would happily to it for black ones.
Laws don't force the cookie banners, laws force requiring consent for personalised tracking. Banners as we know them are malicious compliance. There's a difference.
> This phenomenon likely reflects that while initiatives to integrate women in traditionally masculine roles have gained momentum, the reverse movement remains relatively under developed.

Not really surprising IMHO.

Yes, there has been a huge focus on accepting women in the workplace and no, there has not really been a push accepting men as primary caregivers in the family.

This likely uncovers underlying motives for the feminist movements such as increasing the size of economies - the traditional feminine roles does not generate revenue, so why accept men into them?
I suppose if people actually want to change this [completely unsurprising] gender bias, then we'll have the go the way of the eerily accurate "Demolition Man" and start subconsciously training men to become seamstresses.

With some care, you can see the tag replies with a 10eur rtl-sdr, but the rest if the software stack does not exist for free.
CISC will sell you a license to rent the software, but you need to provide your own rtl-sdr stick.

Voyantic (now Impinj) has their own software that used an Airspy sdr, but it was end-of-lifed after Impinj bought them.

And then for just cimparing tag performance, there is Voyantics Tagformance tester, but that's for comparing tag performance, not debugging something.

But yeah, really annoying to see anything on a nornal swept spectrum analyzer.
the JD says Remote in the US, can you confirm if that's the case?

its likely the result of explicit effort by OpenAI to counter steer the model in specific circumstances, not that the aggregate training data conveys those biases. The data is biased in the opposite direction.

What it shows is that this counter-steering only works in explicit cases and whatever OpenAI is doing isn't generalizing.
Yeah, I read their rules. But I can not post anything in any subreddit, even r/NewToReddit. My posts are removed by Reddit's filters. I don't know why.

Next time I'll try to be clearer
I think it's more likely to expect the changes to be largely generational. That's how most dietary trends change. I give my kids less meat than my parents did, and they'll probably give their kids even less.

The other piece is that meat should have its externalities priced in. We shouldn't be doing to animals the things we do in factory farming. Not being shitty to animals makes animal products a lot more expensive, which generally means people consume less of them. A carbon tax also wouldn't be crazy.

People eat a lot more meat than they used to because it's cheap now. Eating meat with every meal is a relatively recent cultural phenomenon in the west. Making it not cheap again would put us back to where we were a few generations back.

People liked cigarettes as much as they liked meat, but social norms, policy changes and price hikes have made it to where people smoke now a lot less than they used to. Having a cheap / enjoyable alternative is a nice route, but it's not the only one.
