clickbait headline.

i did find it interesting that 30% of ios users use Chrome. wild!
It doesn’t. Facebook and Instagram are such a tiny part of everyone’s life. I don’t use any of those sites, and a brief stint on Nextdoor recently reminded me that they contribute nothing but anxiety and comparison to my life. I’ve never needed an Instagram account to get a job or find an apartment or my significant other. The lure of those sites is that they make you think they’re revealing the whole world to you when they’re barely scratching the surface like a magazine. There’s a whole world of people and places out there that aren’t on social media because they have better things to do with their lives.
DataScript, Datahike, Datalevin, and XTDB 1.x are open-source.
(XTDB 2.x is also open-source but has switched from Datalog to its own query language and SQL.)
DataScript, Datalevin, and XTDB have been used in production; not sure about Datahike.
All of these databases come from the Clojure community and target Clojure as the primary language.
The XTDB team has published a comparison matrix at https://clojurelog.github.io/.

Aside:
I write a lot more Python than Clojure,
and I wish someone ported Datalevin/Datahike/persistent DataScript to Python.
I'd try it as an alternative to SQLite.
I suspect with thoughtful API design, an embedded Datalog could feel organic in Python.
It might be easier to prototype with than SQLite.
There are Datalog and miniKanren implementations for Python, but they are not designed as an on-disk database.
PyCozo might be the closest thing that exists.
(A sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40995652 already mentions Cozo.)
Hi, welcome to the web.
Do you have any evidence of this? Anything at all?

It might be worth taking a minute to understand what they actually believe, you may be surprised to find that even though they aren't part of whatever tribe you're in, that they are very reasonable people who also want the best for everyone.
My son is starting to get the comments. “You don’t play Minecraft?!” is the chorus of park chatter.

But the thing is, we’ve replaced the time he would spend on the iPad with social activities. Minecraft becomes nights at the playground. Amongus becomes fishing at the pier.

And as you would suspect, he has no social problems. He’s constantly socializing. You don’t get good at talking to people by turning your personality into just the right shade of beige or by getting the true neutral human experience. You get good by practice.
Not sure if "production ready" but it's worth looking at Cozo:

https://github.com/cozodb/cozo

Has a dialect of Datalog + some vector support. Multiple storage engines for backend including SQLite, so if your concern is data stability that seems like a reasonable, proven option.
These type of lock-based canals are really beautiful and elegant pieces of engineering. Capable of lifting hundreds or even thousands of tons up-hill without the use of any motor, or engine and taking advantage of the natural gravity gradient adjacent to naturally occurring streams and rivers. In many ways they're literally powered by the water cycle created by the sun.

It's really interesting to understand that these were the technological state-of-the-art before the steam engine and were among the most advanced means of transportation technology on the planet after the big European sailing ships (which in turn were among the few technologies on the planet for hundreds of years capable of moving humans across around the surface of an entire planet relatively quickly).

Canal tech is so energy efficient that it's possible to move relatively large barges using only human power [1] (though it was far more common to use other large animals like horses or mules).

1 - The painter Ilya Repin famously captured this in a painting called the "Barge Haulers on the Volga" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barge_Haulers_on_the_Volga
> "These newer units are safer as the doors have central locking ... In the past, the doors on slam-door trains could be opened at any time, even while the train was moving."

> "Due to a number of high-profile accidents in the 1990s, the manually-locked slam doors were supplemented with electronic, driver- or guard-operated central locking before they were gradually phased out in favour of sliding doors through the 2000s, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of deaths per year from passengers falling from trains"

> "Some units had individual compartments, each with its own door and no access to any other part of the train; however, these were unpopular due to security concerns and the lack of access to toilets ... The phase out was speeded up after the Murder of Deborah Linsley in such an individual compartment in 1988."

The Asbestos in many of these slam-door trains is less relevant to the central point, but was also a factor in the transition.
Any specific examples that you know should be broken? I am on X11 with 555 drivers and an nvidia gpu. I don't have any flickering when I'm gaming, it's actually why I stay on X11 instead of transitioning to wayland.
I disagree that prisons are a technology, as that doesn't fit the term.

However, even if we were to consider prisons a technology, there are good applications and bad applications. Prisons may be used to keep violent predators away from the civil society they might harm. Prisons may also be used as a deterrent against crime, also beneficial to a civil society. That prisons are used as profit centers by corporations who also have regulatory capture is an evil of the people running those corporations and the corrupt officials who look the other way in order to line their pockets. But neither the good, nor the evil has anything to do with concrete, steel, monitoring systems, and plumbing of a prison.

Humans are good or evil, or sometimes a complicated mixture of both. Shifting the animus to the inanimate shifts the responsibility, and I doubt even clear-thinking religious people would be on-board with that. (I'm not, and I'm religious.)

Action, intent, and agency are human things. Ascribing those things to technology hearkens back to animism not rationalism. The spirit of the river made it jump its banks and flood because the river had an ill temper. The computer was ruthless when it calculated the pay of Bob. That's not how our universe works.

I agree with the premise of "machine-assisted ruthlessness." I simply disagree with the notion that the ruthlessness or oppressiveness is inherent to the tech.
Fracking is believed to be a major source of (minor) earthquakes. This article didn't even mention it.
The author of this article has a reputation for an incredible sense of self-entitlement, he's the person who tried to do a hostile takeover of Redis after making a few minor contributions[0]. In light of that it's not too surprising that he's finding it difficult to find a job that meets his expectations.

You can be thankful that your little bubble is still intact while wishing that there was a way to provide similar bubbles for the masses. I recently realized that the stability I have in my life, which I would've perceived as boring or mundane as a younger man, is more than I ever could have asked for compared to what most of the world gets, especially in times other than ours.
I'm the opposite. I went to the literal closest college for what I wanted that happen to be a top 10. Even over a decade later people care. They mention it to me. I have a suspiciously easier time getting callbacks in economic downturns.

I won't make my kid kill themselves to get into a top 10, but only people who haven't gotten the glow of a top university think it doesn't matter.
> "but what prevents the blue agent from generating an incorrect proof of a "true example"?

That's the role of the Verifier. It's not going to be perfect, and I'm sure some incorrect proofs of true examples slip through, but it's good enough to increase the quality of the model overall.

> "What prevents the red agent from generating a correct disproof of a "false example"?

And on the other side, it's counterbalanced by the rules engine (math) that can determine absolutely whether or not the right answer is given at the end.

The Red and the Blue agents are held in check by the tension between the math engine and the verifier, and they are free to fight back-and-forth within those parameters as long as they are able. Eventually, I think the Red agent loses the ability to attack effectively, and so that's the big limit on OpenAI's arrangement. This particular game isn't balanced enough for this training loop to continue infinitely.
Some years ago I declined an iPod offered me for answering survey questions, since accepting it was against organization policy.

At a recent AWS Summit, I picked up a pair of socks from a company with a name that was homonym of an acquaintance's, and a rubber sumo from Sumo Logic. Both got my email address. These strike me as being under the threshold of concern.
I agree. I never want to watch shorts (and now they've added games I never want to play). I wish there was a way to exclude both of those.
You are probably more likely to get hired if you are already employed (at least that’s been my experience)
Agreed that this article is strongly related to Intelligent Tutoring Systems like the Carnegie Tutor.

I recently posted a brief literature review video of the field for those interested in the bigger picture around the article: https://youtu.be/SDb9-LGRrCU?si=t6FM3832-_OwwpSz

The TLDR of the relevant sections (see video description for relevant timestamps)

- Models like ACT-R represent a model of the domain and a model of the student

- Knowledge tracing is an ML-heavy field that predicts skills, state, etc (like parent says)

- Recommender Systems use that knowledge to intelligently recommend next problems
Bike shedding is bike shedding because the color we paint the bike shed at the nuclear power plant doesn't matter. If people can't use your scroll-jacked website to even learn about your product, that matters.
It's a natural reaction, but I believe a losing battle to try to shelter your kids from these things. If you're going to home school you can displace some of it, or delay it long enough that they hopefuly build up some personal resilience, but ultimately this is the world they will venture into.
There are a small number of high-end software firms doing this. "slow-enhancement" generally translates to "maintenance". The exception to this are a few prominent mega-caps.
As someone else said - your best bet is to just download videos you deem to be good and put them on a plex server for your children. You can even automate it to automatically download from a given channel when new videos are posted to it. Of course at some point you will have to let them browse the wide internet on their own, just make sure they know the importance of opsec and never ever writing their real info online.
A snowclone is not "stolen valor", it's a completely normal part of modern writing.

Especially considering that Dijkstra didn't even coin the phrase himself.
Well... Some have said that I'm a modern Luddite because I do not use a macrobug aka smartphone except for Google Maps navigation, very limited on the go phone usage, very rare personal feeds (tt-RSS on my home server). Actually I'm an architect (sysadmin who design and implement infra, I do not choose the title anyway) and I've built a new home, all electric with p.v. and integrated as much as possible anything via Home Assistant but for some being desktop-centric means being Luddite.

I tend to say that some are Luddite because even if they perfectly can they refuse to operate autonomously from their desktops, they choose not to care their digital life, they choose to stick with deprecated solutions, who cost them more money and trouble than choosing the current tech.

Long story short: I think we should describe a bit more the meaning of Luddite, because as a mere tag seems to be a bit too much versatile...
Mine prefers tablet mostly, but every now and then she will ask to use the PC for some Roblox thing that only works on PC and I give her no end of grief for that :-)
if your platform doesn't take off, it means your offering isn't as popular as you think.
> So... C? =P

Without the string handling API, the always unsafe casts or the global states hidden in its standard library, the complete lack of automatic memory management, ... . Most of the bugs I run into in badly written C++ code turn up in places where someone had the bright idea to go C without good reason.
DC is not a state.
Here's a photo of the vault as it was about to be sealed in October last year: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper/how-nasa-is-pro...

In the meantime NASA built a whole spacecraft around it and the craft went through numerous tests. If they'd have to undo and redo all of that, they may even miss the 2025 backup launch date. I'm sure NASA is very eager to seek other ways to deal with this problem.
This is exactly not what i want. I do not want to 'x' it constantly and no just because i x it doesn't mean that the Tab in the YouTube App disappears
I have YT premium and was so fed up with shorts on my home feed. If you click on the three stacked dots next to the shorts section on the home tab, you can select “don’t shot this” or “not interested”; can’t remember what the option was. But I haven’t had to deal with shorts since :)
What are kugelblitze – and why can't they exist?
The other week I wanted to process a few hundred gigabytes of elevation data. My home internet is poor, so I rented a cheap cloud server and installed zellij on it. Zellij let me have two panes so I could monitor wget requests and also watch the overall progress. Zellij also kept the commands running even if I closed my laptop screen and my ssh connection dropped.

I also use zellij locally so I don't have to learn more than one set of keyboard shortcuts and so on. There are plently of alternatives but zellij is just convenient.
> Can i deactivate them? no..

Yes you can. When I turned off search and watch history the shorts interface was deactivated. It just had a notice saying that I need to enable the haptics to use the feature.
Meta will now remove some posts attacking 'Zionists' as a form of hate speech
Oh apologies, didn't realize that was a thing
Ohh thanks, am humbled!
> Prolog uses depth-first search and backtracking, which can lead to infinite loops if the rules are not carefully ordered

Is this an issue in practice? Most languages can create programs with infinite loops, but it's easy to spot in code reviews. It's been over a decade since I encountered an infinite loop in production in the backend. Just wondering if the same is true for Prolog.
Whoa, this is a huge, huge deal for me. This is going to make Google Docs incredibly more useful, and will provide some functionality that I've currently been working around using vim block editing and macros (hey now, vim mode is a great next project for google docs :-D). Ability to import/export as markdown will also be a game changer for less technical people who want to contribute to technical documentation. I strongly prefer technical docs to be in markdown and under version control, and that makes it hard for people. This doesn't solve the git learning curve of course, but that part is pretty manageable.

Thank you to the people who made this happen! May you continue your great work for a long time to come!
Implementing Threat Modeling in a DevOps Workflow
Exactly, that's the site I had in mind although I'm pretty sure it had another name before (could perhaps also be the reason to why I didn't find it in the first place).
I've brushed up against it in the form of datalog as the query language for databases like datomic and xtdb, so it's soul is alive and well!

I'm also considering a prolog like domain specific language to make a state syncing engine with pure declarations of how the state in system A is reflected in System B, etc.

Prolog itself may not be mainstream, but it is an answer to a the universal problem space of constraint solution, so comp sci will always be in its long shadow.
>I also tend to rewrite the code completion implicit unwraps (!) with explicit ones (?). Forces me to acknowledge that I'm skating on thin ice.

Hold on. Do you prefer your code failing silently instead of crashing?
That's something else. Zellij is a reimplementation in Rust. Tmux is perfectly fine as well but for me personally Zellij is more approachable if I want fix a bug or add a feature.
Is it actually an anti-tech sentiment, or are people recognizing that we have tended to incorporate tech into our lives in an unhealthy way and they are trying to rebalance things?
Show HN: I converted my book to audiobook using Google text to speech
I had some philosophy-of-life notes written during covid. I converted that to audiobook for youtube use.

I didn't write a pipeline or anything complicated. I just used google console. I used a recent en-US-Journey-O voice as it seems better suitable for narratives.
I used synthesize long audio APIs. These support upto 1 million characters (currently). I had to chunk the book into smaller parts though since that was it was easier to edit things if it didn't sound right to the ear (from pauses perspective). I think it did a reasonable job. At few points the narration seems a bit out of place and not quite right so to speak but this turned out to be quite low effort for a relatively layman.

The cloud usage cost was trivial (tenth of a dollar total).
Ignoring the reasons why this happens is just as bad as ignoring the consequences.

The need for security is just as much a force of nature as the need for innovation. Unless you provide a solution for both, the cycle will keep repeating.
The whole video is from somebody who thinks like a very traditional old-space engineer who seems to think what NASA is doing, is just badly executing Apollo. They is not what they are doing and not what they are trying to do.

While some of his criticism are fair, he also misses the larger picture and tells the whole story in only a single direction. The timeline he doesn't like is a known fake timeline that everybody from the beginning new wasn't gone happen, it was just politics.

What he fails to actually do is compare and accurately assess the good and bad of different approaches. He basically picks everything good about Apollo and ignores all the negatives, and then does the opposite to the current program.

There is simply a reality of how space politics happens, he acts in his analysis like NASA can just design whatever plan they want, like the could during Apollo, this just isn't the case. Unless you understand he politics behind the current program, and how it was possible, you will not understand its technical design.

And I think his solutions aren't that insightful either.

> The Space Shuttle was also ruined by military requirements that never materialized.

This is a myth NASA likes to tell. NASA is a perfect glorious organization who never makes a mistake and therefore all problem are the fault of outsiders.

Shuttle primary issues are not because of DoD requirements. Even without those, design they had to adopt was very cost constrained and was already highly sub-optimal. To get enough money they went to DoD and that added $ but it also added more constraints.

So the straight forward Perfect Shuttle -> DoD -> Bad Shuttle isn't really the case. And anyway it wasn't actually primarily DoD, it was people who advocated for the DoD in the Whitehouse.
If an All Hands meeting sounds borderline boring "All Employee" meetings sound worse than school on a weekend!! j/k but they definitely gone way to far at your company... i feel for you lol
Are you saying that they cant explain the contents of machine code in human readable format? Are you saying that they can’t be used in a system that iteratively evaluates combinations of inputs and check their results?
People are "required" to do all sorts of things, yet they get away with not doing them every single day.
What makes you think they were forced? Or doesn't spend the rest of their time collecting leaves? You know nothing of this family.
It goes much further - social media is the new bread for the poor, rich folks travel, do expensive dining and adventuring and similar. Sure, its highly addictive due to short dopamine hits so even rich are not immune to it, but most rich / upper middle class I ever saw are smart enough and well off enough to stay the hell away from it.

Also, article makes it like that's almost an unique behavior, while where we live (Switzerland), its more like default of good parenting, definitely a majority of our peers do it similarly.

Doctors went through cancelling their FB accounts, we know number around us (wife is a doctor so I mean tens of various doctors mostly with smaller kids). Instagram was never a thing for them, neither for us. Raising their kids without digital screens either altogether or in a minimal fashion, till teenage years. It gets harder for parents, but anybody can see how much additional quality this brings into parenting.

But this goes with the example parents set - if they are half-present and glued to screens themselves, don't expect miracles from those poor kids which imitate everything they see, and are very vulnerable to addictive behavioral patterns. When I compare such parenting with allowing screens almost infinitely due to laziness/exhaustion of parents, its heartbreaking how kids often end up later in life.
Your comment above indicate that.
I really appreciate their approach to 'free range' children but most kids with cell phones are not doing it just because they asked for one. It's because mom & pop want their kid to be able to communicate their every movement and be tracked by a mapping app.

To really get a handle on this we need to figure out what is going on with helicopter parents, a phenomenon that predates cell phones by decades.
I agree, it was a long article and at first I was with him but after the first few hundred words the author seems to start complaining that his obviously sufficient work is not sufficient to get him a job which is nothing more than a logical fallacy and having a slightly big head, it says nothing about the wider job market as a whole.
It is a really stupid law, and I hope the object finder don't fall in the trap of revealling her/his identity before a formal waiver of criminal persecution is issued by the competent authorities.
