You admittedly wasted their time with an unserious application "as a writing exercise," and you're upset because they actually took it seriously and took the time to properly respond to it with honesty instead of giving you a cookie-cutter rejection?
In Common Lisp, '(' is a macro character that triggers a reader macro to read/parse the list it surrounds with a pair ')'.

More info: https://gist.github.com/chaitanyagupta/9324402

This one demonstrates how what's read in can be parsed - sort of a "Lisp in Lisp" version of eval: https://stevelosh.com/blog/2016/06/symbolic-computation/#s11...
Haha, quite a huge improvement in a point-release. 0.20.5 to 0.20.6.

This is a cool article. Good motivation. Good explanation. Plots. ~~One small thing is that the plots are missing a legend so I had to hover~~. Nevermind, I don't know why it didn't show (or why I thought that) because I can clearly see them on the x-axis now.

Do you watch every film through the lens of what you're "supposed" to feel? Some people watch this film thinking he was a hero, some people think he was a scumbag, plus a million opinions everywhere in between. Feel how you want to feel, it's a story not an educational video.
Mozilla will lose 86 percent of its funding if the Google deal goes away. Unless they can somehow generate an equal amount there will be massive layoffs and Firefox will be in a death knell. So far they have not managed to wean themselves off the Google money.

Disagree. As I've said for a long time, he bought with the intention of turning it into what it is now, basically a larger version of Gab.
Do you even read your own source? Even the truncated URL says Protonmail... a search for "VPN" in that article comes with "Yen said a similar order would also not be able to provide ProtonVPN metadata, as VPNs are subject to different requirements under Swiss law."

Sure you can refuse to believe the company's statement, but your comment is based on your (maybe deliberate, conveniently) misunderstanding of mail vs VPN...
This assumes that the parents consider the city safe enough for the kids to wander around unsupervised. The perceptions may be bullshit, but people still act on them. Statistically speaking the schools in the city are going to score lower on pretty much every test than the suburban ones, sometimes by large margins.
I appreciate your perspective, but I thoroughly disagree. Silence is always the worst response: it signals that you aren't even worth the courtesy to be responded to. I'll take a borderline-personally-insulting response over silence any day of the week. That gives me the ability to analyze the responder's thinking (after I'm over the hit to my ego) and see whether I believe the responder has a point or not.
I've noticed a similar feeling recently. Like I'm operating at max capacity without realizing it, and just a few minutes is enough time to unwind and reframe.

That’s not what he said.
It's absurd that they're attempting to use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to enforce their trademark, and from their reply they seem to have made the same move to 500 other websites without any recourse.

I hate that companies have seen how places react to DMCA takedown requests and have responded by trying to force everything into a DMCA takedown request. Using it to avoid the necessary steps for a circumvention bypass was bad enough, trademark is covered by a whole range of unrelated laws.
Using this in a naive way can easily degenerate into the LLM outputting syntactically/gramatically valid tokens that make no sense, like in this example: https://community.openai.com/t/json-format-causes-infinite-n...

This might be even more pronounced when the output is restricted more using the JSON schema.

So the heavy lifting here was most likely to align the model to avoid/minimize such outcomes, not in tweaking the token sampler.
And if LLMs can generate plausible social security numbers, our civilization will fall /s

Christ, I hate the AI safety people who brain-damage models so that they refuse to do things trivial to do by other means. Is LLM censorship preventing bad actors from generating social security numbers? Obviously not. THEN WHY DOES DAMAGING AN LLM TO MAKE IT REFUSE THIS TASK MAKE CIVILIZATION BETTER OFF?

History will not be kind to safetyist luddites.

I have read many books that have had an impact on me for a time, but these are the books that have had an enduring impact going on now for decades.

And yes, one of these books, Another Roadside Attraction, is unlike the others. You can substitute any Tom Robbins book, or read them all!, but this is the book that started it all for me. Tom Robbins' books taught me to not take life so seriously.

Demian and The Stranger may be fiction, but let's just say their purpose is to get across a philosophical point.

Finally, with regards to Slaughterhouse-Five, you'll just have to read it.

I also have enough money, and I'm also firmly middle class, and I'm also able to afford to do stuff I enjoy, but if I won the lottery I'm not going to say "no" to the money [1].

I don't really want to buy a Lamborghini because I agree, it's an expensive status symbol, but similarly if someone gave one to me for free, I'd take it because I think they're cool (or I could flip it for a lot of money). Sometimes I, if only for a moment, will think about how easy it might be to steal a Lamborghini and how it would be cool if I did.

(I'm just using Lamborghini as an example though, replace it with anything that you think is cool but too expensive to actually justify buying).

Does it make me a gross jerk for thinking about it? Maybe, but I don't think so; considering a bad thing isn't the same as doing that bad thing. It lives very firmly in my brain, and I'm quite confident that I wouldn't actually do anything like that.

[1] I don't actually play the lottery, just an example.
Don't post disingenuous arguments. You know perfectly what the difference between triggered and amplified is.
>Short selling is basically equivalent to put options. Crucially, in both cases, as the price goes up the potential loss increases, theoretically unbounded (!).

A put option is the option to sell a stock at a certain price on a certain date. If you are buying put options, your exposure is only the cost of what you paid for those options. If the stock price rises and remains above the strike price of your put options on expiration day, your puts simply expire and become worthless. If you are selling put options your maximum exposure is the difference between the strike price and $0, as the stock cannot fall below $0.

This is distinct from short selling where you are essentially borrowing shares and you have to buy them back later at whatever the market price is. That is where your potential loss is theoretically infinite as there is no upper limit to how high the share price can go. The same can be said for selling call options (when you don't own the underlying shares, which is called selling covered calls). When you sell call options, you are essentially selling the right for someone to buy shares at a fixed price on a fixed date. If the shares soar above that price, and you don't own the underlying shares, you are forced to buy those shares at whatever the market price (which theoretically has no upper bound) is and sell them to the option holder at the fixed price of the call.
I've got a PNY XLR8 CS3140 8TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD with an M.2 adaptor in my MacBook Pro 2014, and it works well.

I also have an external one for backup purposes, and it works well in a Thunderbolt enclosure but has been a little unreliable (random disconnects) in a USB-C enclosure.

The module system type checks each attribute in a attrset. It merges all modules, ensures there are no conflicts, type checks and returns the resulting attrset. Error messages indicate the offending option definition along with its location in the case of conflicts or type errors, which should be enough for enough for debugging.

> As someone who experiments with weird networking stuff from time to time I've been kicked in the nuts by NetworkManager on several occasions.

nit: NetworkManager is not the one provided by systemd in the first place - that's systemd-networkd.

That aside I do wierd networking stuff for a living and here's how I see the available tooling:

* NetworkManager - great for a laptop where you're moving between networks and don't need anything too fancy.

* systemd-networkd - great for servers and other mostly static networking setups, even weird ones.

* If you're doing anything weird dynamically (e.g. experimenting) - disable the above or move the interfaces you are experimenting on to a fresh netns and do everything by hand with the ip command (and maybe udchpc or dhclient if you need a dhcp client, but be aware of how to write your own callback scripts for how to handle various associated events).

“I realized there was no way we were going to have that conversation with people calling us Nazis,” [CloudFlare CEO Matthew] Prince said. “The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. That was the tipping point for me.”

PostgreSQL is over 90GB, SOLR is under 1GB.

The PostgreSQL has to handle writes, reports, etc..., so I doubt it will cache as efficiently as full-text engine, you'll need to have full or partial replicas to distribute the load.

And, yes, I agree, almost all of this can be done with separate search table(s), but this table(s) will still live in a 'crowded house', so again replicas will be probably necessary at some point.

And using replicas brings new set of problems and costs ;-)

One client used MySQL for fulltext search, it was a single beefy RDS server, costing well over $1k per month and the costs kept raising. It was replaced with a single ~$100 EC2 machine running Meilisearch.
You still have to use a keyboard shortcut to activate this, though?

I rarely was. Ultiamately I usually have some piece of tech on hand and I just wanted some way to get youtube on my dumb TV.

But I also get it. that tv casting has more or less been built into every modern smart TV (and we aren't getting many good dumb tv's these days). So focusing on something more robust instead of selling a cheap streaming stick seems inevitable.

The conversation above was talking about the locking up of everyday items due to retail theft. I said that from my experience that is not a real problem.

The article you shared highlights smash and grabs of controlled pharmaceuticals from small mom and pop pharmacies. That's not the type of theft I have any experience with. You're also the only person who invoked drugs.

The article only references one pix11 article, which itself only references a single bust... in Texas... of a ring operating in Arkansas... outside of New York.

I agree. I've only heard silence applying twice. Yet all the YC messaging is "apply again!" I'm curious if they ever consider the people who have heard nothing from them for a decade, when they talk about why you should apply.

"Agentic" is a term of art from psychology that's diffused into common usage. It dates back to the 1970s, primarily associated with Albert Bandura, the guy behind the Bobo doll experiment.

From ChatGPT: Other examples include "heuristic," "cognitive dissonance," "meta-cognition," "self-actualization," "self-efficacy," "locus of control," and "archetype."

I am not sure I understand. You declare a win with no explanations or reasons.

What is so beneficial in having different implementation of same functionality? Why source being available makes difference?

We can ignore cases of optimized per platform implementations because std was not made for that. None of platforms that make sense to support now were available back when current ABI was set in stone.
Show HN: I created a minimalist notes app with a built-in Excalidraw editor
Hey HN,

I like to draw little sketches to remember and process information, like mind maps or app architectures. I'm also tired of note-taking apps being cluttered with features I don't use.

So, I came up with the idea to combine drawing and writing notes together, wrapped in a minimalistic UI. Apart from Excalidraw sketches, it’s just notes, folders, formatting, and sharing.

What do you think about that? If you like the idea, please let me know what would make you consider using it. If you don't, why?

Honestly I think he gives them too much credit with “The intent of the frameworks is good”.

The frameworks do exactly what they were intended to do, sell enterprise shitware, sell audit and give companies a convenient excuse when they get hacked.

It would be nice if there was some sort of system in place to resolve attacks at the source. Sounds like a really hard problem though. Based on reports ISPs can identify which routers are causing problems. With more invasive routers they might even be able to identify the specific devices. Then I guess they inform the customer via email or something? What happens if customers don't do anything about it?

Also what's to prevent attackers from sending tons of bogus alerts to ISPs to muddy the waters and undermine the entire system?

Unlucky. Posted to HN the day after SSL expired. You need to turn on certbot-auto to renew your LE cert.

I recall the initial systemd stuff that was constantly posted etc. but now I routinely write unit files and it's really nice. I'm sure the constraints that systemd introduced were a pain in the ass for maintainers but for a user it's been tremendous. Admittedly, some times I just a service unit instead of a mount unit for FUSE and so on, and I still have trouble with `After` and `Before` and `Wants` but overall I rather like it.

Now I have to go check what happened about PulseAudio which is the other Poettering work that everyone and their uncle hated (or maybe it was just Ulrich Drepper who hated systemd). It's funny to me that in the end, my teenage self was some sort of equivalent of a k-pop stan: applying Con Kolivas's scheduler patches, and choosing Poettering over Drepper or whatever. And now all that memory has faded but the names.

Reading the full history of all the attempts at modernizing sysv I really do think Lennart deserves all the credit for making a car when everyone else made faster horses. It's the true hacker spirit to look at problems with dizzying complexity and say, "eh give me a weekend." systemd really is a jewel of open source that did so many things right from the beginning that by the time it was done it made other hard problems outside of service management tractable.
