skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
This crate is not an alternative of the serde_json, it only do the validation.

Currently, there is no other crates do the sames validation works on JSON, so I have to parse the dataset by a common JSON parser (sede_json) and do the same validation on its deserialized value as the comparable results.

So it would be better to compare to other crates which do the same work, but I didn't found the similar crate so far. And this is also the reason I developed this crate.

"Indian" is not a monolith.

Neither is "Punjabi", "Gujarati", or "Pahari" which are most South Asians in the UK.

I'm South Asian American with family in Europe, and in all honestly Asians in Europe aren't as well integrated because of Europeans.

In much of North America, there is still buy-in for the "Horatio Alger" story and communities are fairly used to immigrants.

You cannot eliminate risk, stop people from taking risks or stop people from dying. You say callous and I say practical. We all make tradeoffs every day, which has elevated society from subsistence existence. eg Every person doing physical labor, every doctor pushing diseases to be more resilient.
I'm not smart enough to understand finance and so forth. So can't comment on that 2025 tax plan.

I do know that "Bidenomics", aka the torrent of federal money (CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, EPAs new "Green Bank", Dept of Defense's retooling, etc), has been a huge boon for startups.

I would have thought a group of savvy entrepreneurs like a18z would join the renewable energy and domestic manufacturing bonanza.

But like I said, I don't understand finance. So I'm sure a17z have their reasons to sit this one out.

Does Cloud Search support third-party data?

Yes, Cloud Search includes connectors to third-party data sources, such as Salesforce, SAP and more than 100 others.
That's a fair point, but I also think that there is nuance.

The economy of most major cities isn't based on the agricultural industry that most illegal immigrants work in.

Cities generally already have high housing costs and density. So a sudden population surge is going to be more difficult to manage.

Basically Abbott bussed immigrants to the places that are least setup to be able to absorb them. So it's not surprising that there are problems. That doesn't necessarily reflect on whether immigrants are a net gain once they have been absorbed into the economy.

The value CrowdStrike provides is the maintenance of the signature database, and being able to monitor attack campaigns worldwide. That takes a fair amount of resources that an open source project wouldn’t have. It’s a bit more complicated than a basic hash lookup program.

My observation was just the opposite. Unlike Texas, the Democratic cities did what they could to help the immigrants.
> No one has conclusively determined why yet

Ask immigrants or the children of immigrants (like me).

Western Europe are just extremely insular and passive aggressive and will gladly bury their head in the sand regarding their own racism.

Anglo countries at least tried to tackle racism by introducing education about racism (eg. Civil Rights Movement in US, Aboriginal Rights Movement in Australia, First Nation's Movement and racial quotas in Canada, the anti-Skinhead movement and the trade union lead anti-racism movement in the UK) and trying to build an identity that trascends race or ethnicity.

Similar movements happened in mainland Europe as well, but aren't taught about, so mainland Europeans remain insular in their mindset.

> How else to protect a complex IT environment with thousands of assets in form of servers and workstations, without some kind of endpoint protection?

There is no straightforward answer to this question. Assuming that your infrastructure is "secure" because you deployed an EDR solution is wrong. It only gives you a false sense of security.

The reality is that security takes a lot of effort from everyone involved, and it starts by educating people. There is no quick bandaid solution to these problems, and, as with anything in IT, any approach has tradeoffs. In this case, and particularly after the recent events, it's evident that an EDR system is as much of a liability as it is an asset—perhaps even more so. You give away control of your systems to a 3rd party, and expect them to work flawlessly 100% of the time. The alarming thing is how much this particular vendor was trusted with critical parts of our civil infrastructure. It not only exposes us to operational failures due to negligence, but to attacks from actors who will seek to exploit that 3rd party.

I haven’t tried codestral yet tbf.

Also, LLM leaderboards are pretty useless. They’re either contrived tests or synthetic benchmarks which don’t reflect reality. We don’t have a good evaluation framework for LLMs yet.

The one you posted, for example, is having models run through 113 small specifically Python coding exercises from the exercism GitHub repo.
Those are not representative of the tasks most SWEs deal with AND it’s very likely that those models we’re “contaminated” by being already trained on those exact exercises (since they are open source)

That leaderboard is little better than marketing. Which makes sense since it’s from an AI code assistant company.

EDIT: and even on this extremely minor eval, the best LLMs could do were ~78%. Not exactly what I’d call “good”

I used to have more sympathy for this position, and my political biases are strongly left wing, but having spent time in Cuba on and off for the last 20 years... time has shown just how incompetent and malevolent the Cuban regime is.

It would suck badly there without the sanctions, too.

Though I think the sanctions give the regime an excuse. Obama was right to start to lift restrictions... a decade of continued stagnation even after the sanctions lifted would have undermined the regime's ability to continue to rule more than anything else.
My father migrated from Cuba in the 60's and anytime I asked him whether it was worth me visiting he promptly said

"No, absolutely not. Don't even waste your time considering it. Castro ruined it and it will never be the same".

I think the moral is that for many Cubans the embargo isn't against the people, it's against the Cuban government, and they genuinely hate the government with every fiber of their existence. They hate what Castro took from them and have no dissolutions that letting up the embargo would strengthen that governments rule while only providing minuscule benefits to the people. Until the government regime changes in Cuba, any pressure we can apply is worth it.

Microsoft puts the count at 8.5 million computers. So, percentage wise, the MyDoom virus in 2004 infected a far greater % of computers in a month: which in the context of internet penetration, availability and speeds (40kb/s average, 450kb/s fastest) in 2004 was about as fast as it could have. So it might as well have been 70 minutes, given downloading a 50mb file on dial up would take way longer than 70 mins.

To the smart people below:

It’s clear to everyone that 70 minutes is not 1 month. The point is that it’s not a fair comparison: it would simply not have been possible to infect that many computers in 70 minutes: the internet infrastructure just wasn’t there.

It’s like saying “the Spanish flu didn’t do that much damage because there where less people on the planet” - it’s a meaningless absolute comparison, whereas the relative comparison is what matters.

I'm talking about a Turing complete, general purpose architecture.[1] One with some seemingly stupid choices that turn out to work well. A cartesian grid of look up tables (LUTs) with latches, clocked in alternating phases. This slows things down, and makes it completely deterministic, and very easy to reason about. There are no race conditions to worry about. Like an excel spreadsheet, it's very easy to see all of the dependencies, and circular references aren't possible in the traditional sense, because of that delay.

I'm stuck in analysis paralysis... or I'd have more than an emulator[2] to show you. In theory, you can take any expression that can be broken down to a directed graph of binary logical expressions, and compile it into the "program" for the BitGrid. Because the grid is homogeneous, you can shift or rotate, or flip it to move the I/O around. The aforementioned dependency tracing makes it possible to prove the functionality conforms to the desired logical expression graph.

I need a kick in the pants to get the rest of this thing figured out. As near as I can tell, the only problems are my own writers block.

You are seriously overestimating the engineering practises at these companies. I have worked in "enterprise security" previously though not at this scale. In a previous life I worked with of the engineering leaders currently at Crowdstrike.

I'll bet you this company has some arbitrary unit test coverage requirements for PRs which developers game be mocking the heck out of dependencies. I am sure they have some vanity sonarqube integration to ensure great "code quality". This likely also went through manual QA.

However I am sure the topic of fuzz testing would not have come up once. These companies sell checkbox compliance, and they themselves develop their software the same way. Checking all the "quality engineering" boxes with very little regards for long term engineering initiatives that would provide real value.

And I am not trying to kick Crowdstrike when they are down. It's the state of any software company run by suits with myopic vision. Their engineering blogs and their codebases are poles apart.

A slightly bewildering fact is that CrowdStrike's terms and conditions say not to use it for critical infrastructure:

> Neither the offerings nor crowdstrike tools are for use in the operation of aircraft navigation, nuclear facilities, communication systems, weapons systems, direct or indirect life-support systems, air traffic control, or any application or installation where failure could result in death, severe physical injury, or property damage.

Show HN: BluntBio – Simple wiki for fun facts
Hey HN,

For the past 8 months I've been working on BluntBio, a simple wiki platform that focuses on fun facts[0] rather than lengthy articles[1].

The project naively started out as "Linktree with fun facts" but evolved into something more interesting when collaborative pages and structured data began trickling in. This effectively pivoted the project from "link-in-bio tool" to "weird wiki platform" which I'm very happy about :P

Some differences between BluntBio and traditional wikis:

- Community contributions are done through votes instead of overriding edits (i.e. for each fun fact the highest voted answer gets shown)

- You can build a personal page[2] that's only editable by you (I still think it's fun to answer your own fun facts so I kept this from the original link-in-bio idea)

- Explore pages have simple bar charts that show popular fun fact answers[3]

- Way more emojis (probably too many)

There are also some limitations in place to help prevent abuse:

- New pages can only be created for a predefined set of topics

- When creating a page, users can only input a URL from a verified source. All page metadata is then automatically populated from this URL, eliminating the need for extra manual input

- All fun facts are only answerable with structured select inputs rather than unstructured text ones

- No user-uploaded images

I know these aren't perfect solutions and might even be too limiting, but given my limited bandwidth as a solo dev, I've settled on this for now. In the meanwhile, I'll continue adding topics to expand the possible pool of pages as I figure out better ways to handle user-generated content.

I've also set up a demo page where you can try things out without signing up[4].

Any feedback is appreciated. Be blunt! (heh) Thanks c:

> You may not be concerned about the crime, but many voters are.

What voters are "concerned" about and "reality" tend to be highly divorced from each other these days.

https://www.ojp.gov/library/publications/comparing-crime-rat...

> The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, U.S.-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.

Would you prefer a conservative source? Here ya go. https://www.cato.org/blog/illegal-immigrants-have-low-homici...

Conservative voters also think crime in general is spiraling out of control, because a certain fan of fake tanning products keeps shouting it to them. It's not even remotely true. Both violent and property crime have plunged for decades and by and large is still falling: https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2024...

Hilariously, a significant uptick in homicides occurred during Fake Tanning Product's presidency, and it's dropped during Biden's:

> In 2020, for example, the U.S. murder rate saw its largest single-year increase on record – and by 2022, it remained considerably higher than before the coronavirus pandemic. Preliminary data for 2023, however, suggests that the murder rate fell substantially last year.

Voters were also 'concerned' Democrats were running a pedo ring out of a pizza shop basement. That pizza shop does not even have a basement. By your logic, we should be hiring more FBI agents to inspect pizza shops looking for pedo rings because "voters are concerned" and writing legislation that requires pizza shop owners get CORI checks.

> History and data from various European nations

Why are you using historical data from another continent that is very different culturally, when there's data from the US Undocumented migrants and immigrants in the US commit half the crime US citizens do. Probably because they're here to work to do things like send money home, and so they're keeping their heads down (not to mention, busy working...)

I already provided a study, but here's more about the issue. The Brennan Center article includes links to numerous studies refuting your claims. The evidence is overwhelmingly conclusive: immigrants, documented or not, commit significantly fewer crimes per capita than US citizens.

That's a pretty standard clause I've seen in every software ToS I ever gazed my eyes upon.

As far as I know, those applications weren't affected either - airports were affected because the ticketing systems were offline. Companies not using Crowdstrike were able to fly just fine.

Edit: 911 was affected in many places, and that is definitely concerning as it is very much life critical.
Even if it is a staged rollout why would one do it in 24 hour phases ? It can be a hourly (say) staggered rollout too.

Wild that anyone would consider anything in the “critical path” low risk.
I would bet that they just don’t do rolling releases normally since it never caused issues before.
