I recommend Svekyll (https://extrastatic.dev/svekyll/svekyll-cli). Svekyll combines the simplicity of Jekyll with the power of Svelte.

This is a post I made recently:

https://webiphany.com/2024-04-29-distance-sean-shawn

That post uses Svelte to build interesting animations, includes a AI embedding model right inside the post and runs in your browser.

And, if you want to hack the entire post yourself, scroll to the bottom, click the view source button and then click download. That will download a zip file which can build that post independently by just running "npm i && npm run build". That command generates a single HTML file with everything inlined so you can take that and put it on any static website.

Svekyll posts are just markdown, but you can add anything like vanilla js and Svelte components, and tailwind is included automatically.

I don't see anything else out there that is as simple or expressive as Svekyll. And 99% of that is just that I don't see anything out there that is as simple or expressive as Svelte.
Ah, that makes a decent amount of sense.
It's been used for years and does work. There are products that try to do this, Google experimented with it for a while. And it's actually the default on macOS of course, Apple whitelists all apps by notarizing them and you can apply custom policy on top.

One problem is that on Windows signing is optional and only about 30% of software is signed, but the only way to handle software updates and changes is to whitelist publishers. Or sometimes signing is done wrong, like only signing the installer but not the installed files.

Another is that it requires incredibly responsive IT staff. If they don't whitelist something fast enough it can slow down the entire organization.

Yet another is that code signing is hard to do in a leak proof manner. Any program that loads code as data, for example any interpreter, can become a code signing "hole" and whitelisting it is equivalent to whitelisting everything. A good example of problem cases: plugins.

Yet another is that to whitelist something requires the integrity of the whitelisted thing to be enforced otherwise malware can just be injected into it. Windows has a mechanism to do this called MSIX but not much uses it partly due to lack of good tooling. My company makes a product that fixes that to some extent but because MSIX is a package manager not an installer framework it can require re-engineering to adopt, for example, you can't customise install components or show other UI at install time.

Apple is slowly moving macOS towards solving all of these problems and there support for binary whitelisting is shipped out of the box, although most people don't realize it and it's not well documented. I assume there are edr vendors who have used those APIs to create products though.
People are always going to need to do a number two though.

Although it pains me to sat this .. maybe there's a need for a disposable potty, with sanatary wipes, that can go in the trash.

Maybe these should be given free to street sleepers?

It’s also a tragedy of the commons thing: you offer free toilets but don’t fund maintaining them every half hour so they are only usable by a few before they become completely thrashed and unusable. Or they are used as drug/prostitution dens and are never available anyways except for whoever got lucky to grab and squat them. A free resources that isn’t available isn’t very useful when you need to go.

King county just pulled the plug on a pilot for public restrooms at a couple of transit stations because with maintenance and, more significantly, security the cost was $77/use [1], we simply can’t afford that. Seattle famously bought five multi million dollar self cleaning toilets that only lasted a few years [2].

I don't ever carry my wallet or keys when I go for a walk, which is usually once a week when it's nice out. I do carry my phone, for podcasts. My door has a keypad to get in.

Military bases run PXs and commissaries and these stores have reasonable (mid to high mid) quality goods.

As I've explained in another comment, adding power stations and capacity doesn't mean running 100% all year. China is using coal as peakers much like other countries use gas for this purpose. Given that China is also installing the most energy storage, it's not long (at current growth, less than 10 years) before these plants are only used in emergency situations.
Part 2 out yet? If so, drop in the comments...
Back in school when my allowance was 5 euros a week, even 50 cents was prohibitively expensive for me to go to the toilet. Even today I refuse to use the two euro toilets and I'm not the only person walking up, seeing the price, and turning around.

This stuff is not priced to be a reasonable convenience, but to be a better alternative to soiling yourself in public. The most insulting part is paying 2 euros to pee into a smelly urinal and getting a 50 cent discount code for the nearby fast food stand as a courtesy, because I haven't spent enough apparently.
The situation varies from state to state. In Florida, many businesses are required to have public restrooms. So you should be able to do your business without being coerced into buying that $10 drink.

I know sometime who ran a gas station. They had to clean their toilet after every fifth customer on average. That's a real cost.

Explain what's evil, please.

By not designing everything around car drivers, it's possible to have such things as "15-minute cities" where the aim is to have amenities withing a 15 minute walk or cycle. That reduces traffic delays as there'll be more people choosing to walk/cycle, plus the car journeys will be much shorter. They also reduce traffic collisions ("accidents" is a loaded term and should not be used for RTCs as it implies no fault), so it's really a win-win.
I am not very good at telling jokes.

But even i can tell, that this is low effort. You really get a laugh out of it? Like "hahahaha, they said PHP 5"?
There’s both very little and a lot that can’t be done in CSS when it comes to proper typesetting.

p + p { text-indent } absolutely works and has been my go-to method of implementing proper paragraph indentation for as long as I can remember. Impressive drop caps, hanging punctuation, etc. are possible with some effort.

However, balancing lines, hyphenation, eliminating rivers is something that browsers don’t do or do not as well, and custom kerning is painful.

If there is something that handles typesetting on par with InDesign but without the bloat and in a friendlier format, that’d be neat, but I wonder how long would it remain bloat-free considering features that would be needed.
It depends greatly on the type of establishment. If it’s a small family business, absolutely you have to buy something.

If it’s a chain then you probably don’t have to buy anything.

If it’s a large establishment such as a supermarket then you don’t have to buy anything, nobody is keeping track.

And obviously toilets in public places like train stations are free for all nowadays.
Ok, where shall I start???

You look it from the eyes of a single developer with dome trial and error approach.

Do you think Fortune 500 companies without an army of SW engineers would trial and error in AI? Why do you think MS is so strong? Because their customer's focus isn't on SW and services but on productivity in their sector.

Nvidia offers a complete platform, not just GPUs but you can buy entire DGX data centers from Nvidia. And it comes with Nvidia AI enterprise suite along side support. Nvidia supports customers in custom AI development. Big CSPs are buying Nvidia HW like crazy because Nvidia offers something very compelling and competitive and that's commercial on prem data centers. On prem data centers are a huge problem for CSPs.

But if you think about the future of AI, it's not chatbots, it's not generic copilot. It's about company and domain specific AI models. That means for any company the best way to utilize LLMs is to train it on their private company data. And there we get into security concerns. Would you send all your company data to Microsoft, Google or Amazon for preparation and training?

This is why Nvidia is pushing DGX as on prem data center option. That is the business model Jensen is building.

In addition, Nvidia is focused to leverage the power of a GPU and machine learning to offer compelling solutions in different industries. Omniverse, Clara, Isaac and Drive are options where Nvidia is leading. Technically every robotics company could use Nvidia technology without being a competitor to Nvidia. The same goes for medical, drug discovery, manufacturing, automotive and many more.

Nvidia offers a complete platform as a shelf solution where the GPUs and CUDA are only pieces of a puzzle.
the idea that the government is inherently bad at providing services is just very silly. roads, postal service, and national parks are all really great services that the government provides. the idea that the government only does things well by paying private companies to do them just doesn't have basis in reality.

Wow this is the kind of thing that will disrupt a ton of industries!
A lot of newer toilets in the USA are single occupancy rooms for families and disabled. Of course, this also makes them easier to use for drugs and camping, so locking them down in urban areas is pretty important.
Why? That's a very mild way to put it. Entire generations of people were robbed of freedoms and natural progress of their society. Most of Central and Eastern Europe will catch up with the rest by around 2040-2050. Moldova will be lucky if they recover and reach parity even this century.

Once it gets popular, I think it would happen. The business people and C-suite would request quick dirty solutions like Crowd Strike's offerings to check boxes when entering new markets and go around the red tape. So they'll force Unix people to do as they say or else.

It’s worth pointing out that these numbers don’t exactly represent either of the things that the parent comment talked about. These are the statistical economic effect of people dying on average, but this is not meant to be taken as putting a number on all the value of human life. Note the DOT doesn’t call it the “value of life”, they call it the “value of a statistical life (VSL)” in an attempt to help distinguish between those two different ideas.

“This conventional terminology has often provoked misunderstanding on the part of both the public and decision-makers. What is involved is not the valuation of life as such, but the valuation of reductions in risks.”

https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2021-03/D...

Additionally, these numbers do not represent the threshold for whether a given proposal for roads is undertaken. They are used to inform the process, along with other relevant factors. That ‘Guidance’ like just above is interesting reading, they take time to point out that neither the economic data nor the risk data is perfect. (Perhaps that was obvious, but it’s good to know they recognize that fact officially in their analyses.)

The VSL for 2023 is 13.2 million, and one might assume based on the recent trend that it’s probably around ~$14M for this year. It’s good for our personal safety the higher their VSL estimate goes, but as parent noted, bad for our taxpayer pocketbooks, so we try to balance those forces. I know government processes can look bureaucratic and strange from the outside, and seem like a big machine we don’t control, but ultimately we do decide as a society how much we’re willing to pay to keep ourselves safe; public sentiment and tax/anti-tax pressures do have a massive influence in what gets done.

The key to this is using the same process to get all the colors. For separate R,G,B pixels you need 3 different processes and can't build them on the same chip, you need to assemble them - that's what allows the vast improvement in pixel density.

I can guarantee you this won’t work. The police won’t arrive nearly fast enough and you don’t have a lot of ways to stop him short of hiring a police officer as a guard because private security often aren’t legally allowed touch people.

Some people won’t be deterred by anything short of someone who is able to intimidate or harm them. It’s a no-win situation because allowing employees to hit people with clubs isn’t a good idea. :(
I am using seaweed for a project right now. Some things to consider with seaweed.

- It works pretty well, at least up to the 15B objects I am using it for. Running on 2 machines with about 300TB, (500 raw) storage on each.

- The documentation, specifically with regards to operations like how to backup things, or different failure modes of the components can be sparse.

- One example of the above is I spun up a second filer instance (which is supposed to sync automatically) which caused the master server to emit an error while it was syncing. The only way to know if it was working was watching the new filers storage slowly grow.

- Seaweed has a pretty high bus factor, though the dev is pretty responsive and seems to accept PRs at a steady rate.
The History and Future of Kidtech
The genius of TeX is that it’s a programming language for document production, that can mostly look like markup. The further genius(?) is that the language works in such a way that you can do more or less arbitrarily complex things, while still exposing an interface to the user that feels like markup. This makes for a language that is sometimes, honestly, completely bananas. But when wielded correctly, it’s great.

I love Typst. It’s especially good for dealing with programmatic input as the —input flag can take json. [0] Then, in the file it’s easy to get the json with the dedicated json.decode() function. Super easy to get solid results. Swapped to it from LaTeX in my own project [1]

An article, from a business-focused media group, which identifies for a specific biased point, ignoring those who are >=100 and not working.

Is this a propaganda piece to tell the rubes why Social Security won't be necessary?
Does not tell why Vienna is in particular danger among other European cities.

I think I know, but this being HN, prefer not to speculate.
No. A big part of what drives systems like CrowdStrike is ransomware which from the kernel perspective is just an ordinary program doing ordinary file I/O. They don't change the OS so being immutable is of no help. BTW modern macOS is also immutable in the sense you're thinking.

What's needed is mandatory sandboxing of all software. ChromeOS does that, Android does that. Desktop OS are more general and whilst macOS does now sandbox all apps out of the box it's a relatively soft sandbox. So EDR still has value there but less so.

Unfortunately Windows is by now more than 15 years behind the curve on desktop OS security. Apple is way ahead. Linux barely tries to compete.
By the way re covid there's some of the story here from the chair of the Lancet covid comission https://youtu.be/JS-3QssVPeg?t=6495

>selective expression of nano-magnetoreceptors in specific neuronal types and brain circuits and activating them with rotating magnetic fields at precise moments, allowing for spatiotemporal control of neural activity.

So invasive genetic engineering used to express the magnetically sensitive (instead of light or ultrasound or whatever) ion channels in the neuronal populations of choice.

Cool stuff, another tool, but there is a way to directly control brains using only magnetic fields and no invasive genetic engineering: transcranial magnetic stimulation. It's where a very, very, very fast changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a tissue. The rate of change of field being proportional to the induced voltage. Generally this means ramping up from 0 to ~5000 amps in a small magnetic coil in less than 10 ms. Unfortunately TMS is not very focal and engineering limits mean the effected tissue regions are about ~5-10 mm spheroids in general (with a slow fall off over large scales); too big for mouse models but fine for humans.

> Effectively, they (LLMs) can't think new thoughts.

This is true only if you assume that combining existing thought patterns is not new thinking. If they can't learn a certain pattern from training data, indeed they would be stuck. However, their training data keeps growing and updating, allowing each updated version to learn more patterns.
Open Street Maps, which Google and Apple happily take information from, seem to have all public toilets indexed. Unfortunately, the map is still almost empty when you try to look for them.
it's the virtuous cycle of Republicans running on the meme that the government is inherently bad, then using their power to make it worse
In the absence of an AST based tool, that's probably an absolute minimum of 20-40 hours of dev time (likely more) at $100-200 hourly, no?
That is a point of difference, but I'd also wager CO2 and GHG overall emissions correlate.

This. The 1970s design of the operating system and the few companies that deliver us the monoculture are simply not adequate or robust given the world of today.

So the Author is based in Spain and writing about life in Spain. My experiences traveling in Europe have been that bathrooms are often hard to find there … but, as a tourist, I’ve definitely not seen enough of normal daily life to know.

Meanwhile many comments here seem to be reflexively decrying the situation in the US. That makes no sense to me. Every business has to have a bathroom, and in the overwhelming majority of the country these bathrooms are not locked and nobody minds if you come inside and use one.

There are two exceptions, that most of us aren’t visiting very often:

(1) some of our city centers where there are concentrated disorder and mental health problems

(2) the most crowded tourist destinations

These places tend to
keep bathrooms locked, but you can usually just ask and get the key or code. Many have signs saying you need to make a purchase but few try to enforce that.

These exceptions are indeed annoying, but I believe the solution is better mental health care and generally more effective community policing so that businesses in those locations could follow the norms of the rest of the country.
how safe is TMS - has that been studied?
This looks like a good service for compute, but it's way over priced for storage. It probably makes most sense to use the included disk for application code only and store all data in something like S4 [1]

Yes, I figured out the Starbucks (or any other fast food chain) thing after staying there for a while. It's however really a sad scene where people deny visiting washrooms especially when you need it the most.

Plus it paints a wrong picture of a country because it's technically people asking you a few bucks for a basic necessity and the government has failed.

This is in stark contrast with developed countries like Singapore (where I visit a lot). Singapore makes sure a public toilet is available within a few hundred meters and boy are those clean!
I'm surprised to see that HTML output is currently in progress, and was not a core feature from the start. [0]

Yeah, that's totally fair. I just think about all the people to whom I've had to explain LLM hallucinations, and the surprise in their faces, and this feature gives me some heebie-jeebies
Yeah. Been there, done that. Write to an unused address decode to trigger the logic analyzer when I got to a specific point in the code, so I could scroll back through the address bus and figure out what the program counter had done for me to get to that piece of code.
May I ask how you know those 999 answers were correct, and how would you have been sure to catch a mistake, misinterpretation or hallucination in any of those?
Doesn't malware do that as well?

But what other malware has been as successful? Crowdstrike can rest easy knowing it's taken down many of the most critical systems in the world.

Oh, no, actually, if Crowdstrike WAS malware, the authors would be in prison.. not running a $90B company.
thats just asking for trouble.
Guitar Pro tabs have time durations on every note (as described in the article), and can also be displayed in standard musical notation. It also has a whole host of articulation symbols, including the standard musical articulations (mezzoforte etc) as well as a bunch of guitar specific special articulations (e.g. artificial harmonics).

Printed guitar tab books also have durations and articulation symbols.

I agree that old fashioned ASCII art guitar tabs without durations aren't great.

Well, I have outlined why declarativity is good, so as far as I’m concerned the choice to go imperative and abandon the benefits of declarativity in order to make access to nodes trivial should probably be accompanied by understanding of why that access would be needed in the first place.
