Ask HN: Have you settled on an LLM powered search your docs solution?
Have you personally or your team actually settled on a useful "ask questions about your docs" solution?

It could be one of:

1. Custom built in house (e.g. using LangChain or LlamaIndex)

2. Uploading PDF to ChatBot (e.g. ChatGPT/Claude) and asking questions

3. A hosted solution (e.g. chatbase.co)

4. An out-of-the-box self-hosted open-source solution

I've tried, used and built many of these but while the demo is cool, they're not critical to my life. ChatGPT & Github Copilot are part of my day-to-day.

Getting ahead before it comes up: transitioning to Claude Sonnet 3.5 & Supermaven are very much on my list of things to do.

What does this mean? That you just have to suck it up and shell out 3 salaries or you are not worthy or manly enough? Anybody old enough who has seen tons of various marriage crap knows that this increases quality of marriage by exactly 0% (at least in positive direction, negative can be debated but I'd say its mildly above 0), and same effect goes into 'durability' of it.

But for men, its a fantastic litmus paper - even if you explain this and the requirement remains strict, thats a massive personality red flag, which never ever goes alone. For me personally it would be no-go since life is too short to make such mistakes, but I am out of these games hopefully for good.
I don’t think that argument holds much water.

A moved-from object needs to be in a valid state because the destructor will still run, and so that needs to succeed (and not UB).

Nobody ever says the moved-from state had to be useful or recoverable from.

Alternatively, you can remove support for moving. That way the moved-from issue disappears.
Any details on what compliance regime specifically requires it for Linux tho, and whether it differentiates static servers from ephemeral? I’m just curious since you always hear “compliance” but I’ve never actually seen the requirement coming from anywhere except windows sysadmins who are out of their element

The html sourcecode shows the content of the table is not served within the page, but is added on page load through javascript by formatting a json requested file. I changed the browser's user-agent to chrome and the same page was served (though the link to git shows it's an static page). My guess is may be chromium is not disabling javascript.

PS: I'm a Firefox user too, I always browse with Javascript disabled by uMatrix (in addition to uBlockOrigin), I only enable it when the web deserves it and leaving disabled third domains js loads almost always.

For anyone who passes through Seoul, the Kimchi Museum (https://www.kimchikan.com/en/) is pretty fun. It's small, but very inviting and informational in terms of the diversity of methods and ingredients, the cultural impacts and the science. They do classes as well, and it's all quite kid friendly.

> What would it take for the US to lift sanctions (I assume a radical shift within Cuba's government), and for Cuba itself (as a whole) to restructure their government in a way that would benefit them and everyone.

It's irrelevant. Hard-line socialist countries don't voluntarily decide to change their government: their countries collapse and start over again.

While sanctions on Cuba are irrelevant to the US these days, it doesn't change the fact that Cuba would be a dysfunctional society in any case. Venezuela was a resource rich nation and 7.7 million people fled (>20% of the population). The Soviet Union was one of the most resource-rich entities in the world, with similar failures.

I find it somewhat astonishing that people in tech—an industry built around the belief that well-built systems can produce good results—are so dismissive of the role of agency when it comes to these issues. Somehow it's America's fault that people are leaving Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico... and left to their own devices, those places would be paradise.
Cubans leaving Cuba today are taking advantage of immigration openness that anti-Cuba policies pushed for. Why would they not take advantage of that? They are literally the only refugees who can come to America and get automatic asylum. Why does that exist? Political power from Florida stemming from Batista supporters.

I don’t have any interest in this argument, but the situation between America and Cuba is fairly artificial and politically related.

Also note, Syd has been used as Exherbo's default sandbox for 16 years now and Exherbo is a source-based distribution which enables package testing by default (we call them "build_options: recommended_tests"), and every package build/test failure that happens under sandbox but not without sandbox is considered a sydbox bug. We have fixed a lot over the years. Moreover, we have a CI task to run a random selection of a hundred gnulib tests (under 64-bit and 32-bit respectively, x86-64, x86, armv{8..7}) on each push. We can therefore proudly say that Syd is reliable when it comes to functional correctness.
Primary reason is that it removes a dependency on libclang, and as such is required to remove the LLVM dependency.
I've seen it a lot. Mostly things like moving from PHP 3 to PHP 5, or Python 2 to Python 3, or React 12 to React 17. A language change doesn't have to be between completely different languages to be a pain.
I really want people to understand that a sterile term like "economic sanctions" really means "starving them to death". It's not just food. It's the infrastructure necessary to grow food and to have clean drinking water. It's basic medicines, life-saving stuff.

What we, as a country, have done and continue to do to Cuba is absolutely unconscionable.

It affects us too. Over the last 60+ years there have hundreds of thousands or even millions of Cuban migrants to the US. This [1] claims 2.7 million but includes US-born descendants. Cuban migrants aren't a random sample of Cubans. They skew very much anti-Castro, which means by extension they skew very pro-Batista. Definitely right-leaning or even pro-fascist [2[.

Importing fascist or fascist adjacent people who ultimately became voters has changed US politics where Florida is now a safely red state. Here's more on the demographics of Cubans in Miami in particular [3].

I find it interesting how this aspect of immigration is so often missed or glossed over.

There is absolutely no justification for continuing 60+ years of sanctions just because our puppet was deposed.

Also, look, you are not uncontacted in Peru in 2024 unless you prefer it that way. People know who their neighbors are, and if they want to reach out they can.

In fact, we have heard what these people think of the logging, through a neighbor of theirs:

I think that should be respected.
That game was not really remastered, but instead they "used AI to remaster the original game footage to HD quality using a rare Japanese DVD release of the game". It is also not an official release (the game is not sold in any digital platforms, unfortunately).
I support immigration and oppose the Republican anti-immigrant platform because it seems to me there is significant brain drain from many countries to the U.S. and that contributes to our success.

For example, in this article is about white collar crime, it points out that many Somali-Americans were professionals back in Somalia. I'm not concerned about the crime because that seems like a somewhat higher tendency until the 2nd and 3rd generation is able to make it into established society.

Can you expand on that? It seems potentially but not necessarily consistent with "democratic institutions" but the "control" must be limited to preserve the various freedoms required for openness.

But the degree to which two people's moral views need to overlap is minimal. Yes, I shouldn't invade your home, but I also don't need to approve of what charities you donate to, what happens in your bedroom, how you worship, etc, all of which some people will perceive as part of their morality.

Did you say "last few decades" to conveniently exclude their invasion of Vietnam? Not that it matters. Policy should not be made based on a naive extrapolation of historical track record. Culture, interests and leadership are all things that change over time.

Modern China, like Russia, but unlike other autocracies such as Cuba or Saudi Arabia, is a revisionist power - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_state

Their publicly broadcasted intention is to change the status quo, forcefully if needed. That's a euphemism for invading Taiwan. They keep saying it, over and over. Beyond that, there's a militarism, nationalism and irredentism that permeates Xi's leadership and the culture he has created in his country, which did not exist to the same extent under Deng. The confluence of such factors have historically been a bad omen.

This does not mean that the US should start a war with China. It means the US should pivot its focus to Asia and continue the policy of containment, which is a maintenance of the peaceful status quo through a combination of sticks and carrots. It means the US should be aware that there is a rival there who may start a war on their own terms and on their own schedule when they believe they are capable of defeating the US.

The current noosphere doesnt have good autonomic defense systems. Every impulse sent our way comes unguarded, as a dark forest of signals being sent at us.

My hope is that we can start to emerge some larger tools & networks to help give us meta-review, of who else argues this & what folks say about arguments like this. What have these people warned us about in the past, what have their concerns been over the past 10 years & how many of those were right or wrong?

Being endlessly blown about by fear & popularism has been the name of the game on Fox News & talk radio for decades. Bill O'Reilly was on a very hot Daily Show recently, decrying polarization, & it was amazing to see such a cheer leader for disdain & disgust trying to say enough (in a way dripping with disdain & disgust) and him & John Stewart having this hostile chat even though they sort of are trying to say some similar things. https://youtu.be/h7qZE4C_neo

That might be ideal, but we don't live in an ideal world. The public government isn't providing this in nearly any large US city. A few that have tried have ended their attempts due to the cost. CTA provided restrooms at the stations till the 1970s, but ended access to those due to the costs and safety concerns. Having pay restrooms would be an alternative to have no option at all.

You said:

> but that building is not what Tesla leases; they are not coming out and saying that Tesla does not have diesel, they're saying "that's Tesla, not us"

No one is arguing about what Tesla leases.

Harris Ranch said:

> The building indicated is not, nor has it ever been a diesel plant.

That does not equate to “that’s Tesla, not us”.

Doesn’t matter who leases it, owns it now or owned it in the past. They are asserting that it isn’t a diesel plant and has never been a diesel plant. The misinformation said it was and they are saying this is not the case. There is zero wiggle room in their statement regardless of who owns or leases the building.
This was very much my experience with computer science. When I first studied computer science in middle school at age 13, I could only understand simpler algorithms like quicksort. I simply couldn't grasp dynamic programming. When I studied it again at age 19 (after having learned a couple of more programming languages like C++ and Python and Haskell, as well as taken some classes in mathematical proofs), it became much easier to understand. And then it was around age 22 when I could solve competition-style dynamic programming problems with ease.
Well for me adolescence was pretty OK. Had my fun, played games all day after school (which itself was alright too) and that continued well into my college and even few years after that. In college I had a blast, really the best years of my life from "careless freedom" point of view. Never ever will I live like that again, it is not sustainable in the long run, but it was really fun when I was under 25. I continued the lifestyle later, but the satisfaction with my life went rapidly down, because I wanted something deeper. Today, at 30, with wife and a child, I don't have so much fun as I used to, life is more stressful and busy, but at the end of the day it is more satisfying and I would not want it otherwise.

Why let the politicians and banksters loot the treasury all by themselves? I guess it makes sense to them "share the wealth", since they'll never have the opportunity to buy a home or raise a family?

It doesn't seem to make sense to me to pursue this path as a politician; didn't work out well for Louis XVI and his ilk, nor for the inevitable populist reformers/revolutionaries like Robespierre.

But, I guess the guillotine is quick, if you've gotta go somehow. I wonder if politicians realize that's where the populist desperation resulting from this plan of theirs ends?

In a twisted way, Crowdstrike just gave western civilization a disaster recovery and resilience forced test. an actual attack won't be rolled back within an hour.

In case you don't know, Crowdstrike is hardly the only company with large scale access to this many companies,governments and resources. It takes one rogue employee to deploy a disk wiper that destroys every computer (including linux and macos) and affected systems won't recover at all. it would be months before critical systems are back online, the global economy would come to a halt worse than how it did with COVID in such a scenario.

It isn't "why didn't Crowdstrike do better" (although they should have), it is more, why isn't technology in critical systems more resilient to one vendor screwing up or getting hacked?

For example, let's say it wasn't just a boot loop but a disk wiper erased every boot disk, is there any reason pxe booting a recovery image or a backup image configured already on servers, atms, kiosks, point of sale systems,etc...? even if UEFI and bios were erased, it is technically not impossible to have an auto-recovery mechanism implemented right?

If you have never been in an incident response (IT and security incidents) root cause analysis, I don't blame you for not thinking deeper about the root cause, but that is the type of root cause analysis that has been missing despite over a decade of rampant ransomware, disk wipers, and supply chain risks.

Finding someone to blame and be angry at is easy and doesn't solve the root cause. Making hard technical decisions and not wasting this opportunity (never waste a good crisis) to push for resilient technology investments actually solves the root cause behind this and other repeating problems.

Part of the issue is that compliance is so broad and will vary from industry to industry, state to state and country to country. If you’re in defense and work with the government you’re requirements will be different versus healthcare or the education sector.
