Congratulations on shipping your project!

Before I provide any feedback, I’m curious…

Your GitHub account appears to be a fresh account, using a pseudonym and a DuckDuckGo email address. What’s the reason for all of that? Are you a new developer? Did you simply not have a GitHub account because you never needed it? Is it just some privacy-related reason? Some other reason(s)?

I’d love some clarification on that, if you don’t mind.

To be clear, it’s perfectly fine to not have had a GitHub account—it’s just a bit unsettling when the very first project from a new and pseudonymous account is one dealing with servers and SSH keys.
The shrill response to this minor correction makes me wonder... are people reacting this way because social media has broken our brains and we have to freak out about everything for the likes? Or is this due to roughly half of the population actively wishing for the economy to crash so Trump will have another talking point?
you may think of it as a cloud function, we mostly focus on HTTP based data ingestions without a storage layers. e.g. Your app is sending some data, Fleak can be used to create an API to process that data then return back to the app synchronously or save the processed data directly into a storage layer.
I can't get my head around the kind of paternalistic, domineering mindset it must take to propose "let's employ police violence to capture someone, confine them, and subject them to unwanted medical treatment" as an act of compassion.

Definitely. As for the purpose of the tool and the issues, they will become clearer after the next couple of releases.
I wish SQLite FTS had a nicer to use API. Last time I looked (a few months ago) it was very confusing and not very user friendly.
We had some pretty detailed discussion that you missed out on: https://github.com/fairsource/fair.io/issues/14#issuecomment.... I'm sure SUL would have been right there with ELv2 since it's derived from it. I wish you would have participated. I ultimately relented because I relicensed to the FCL (because I wanted an ELv2 that was DOSP).

Ultimately, DOSP is a good thing and I want to see more companies adopt it under Fair Source.
Could you elaborate on that? Altering caloric intake and sleep schedule as a reaction to what? And how would you change between the two regimes? Increase/decrease how much? etc.

What are you talking about? Open any twitter link and there is a pretty good chance it just doesn't work lol. And even if it does work hopefully it isn't a thread because you won't see any of the parent comments or replies.
I had a post on Reddit taken down a while ago. It was entirely my content and did not even include any quotes. I looked into responding, but it would have included far more information than could be gleaned from my Reddit bio and I suspected it was a sort of phishing scheme to get that information. (I did not respond, it was not an important post.)
I've toyed around with it. I also use DuckDuckGo on my phone. They're OK.
and let's not forget the increase in crime that SF has experienced. Even department/CVS/etc stores have had to close due to the increase in crime.

Suburbs on average have less crime. i wouldn't say that south bay is ideal but it's better than SF.
AlphaZero is arguably like those algorithms on steroids, probably worth a mention there. Even though the goal is a bit different, finding Nash equilibria for games like Go is probably still infeasible, but you also don't need that to beat humans.

Commercial conversion isn't a bad idea, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. Commercial generally is setup wrong for residential. Residential needs windows in each bedroom (fire code). Residential tends to have a lot more bathrooms. Residential has more plumbing. While you can make it work, the above often means the commercial building isn't setup right and so there is a lot of useless space.

This post (from an OpenAI researcher) contains a bit more background: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41174213
China has over 100 cities with > 1 million population. (113 to be precise).

The 100th-ranked US city (Huntsville, AL) has a population of 225k. (The 113th, Fayetville, NC, has just under 210k.)

San Francisco, with 808k population, would rank 126th in China. Not "small rural", but definitely a 2nd or 3rd tier city at best. (The comparable Chinese city, Anqing, is a prefecture-level city in the southwest of Anhi Province, and has, to boot, 631 years on SF.)

Consider that Wuhan, a city in China you'd likely never have heard of prior to early 2020, has a population of 11 million, more than any US city, and ranks 9th overall in population within China.

I have struggled writing valid YAML before (my tokenizer doesn't handle whitespace very well). And it probably takes me a quadrillion operations on the reals to get a minimal YAML file (I think your 10^25 fp ops is an overestimate--I think it's more like 10^18-10^19).

It's kind of like an inverse Moravec's paradox.
I guess I have a masochistic streak.

Yeah, no. (Re: Reddit DMCA takedown.)
I thought about it throughout my life why I am not just flipping to sales, specially when I was short on money.

Each time, I reminded myself that I lack the emotional fortitude to take the amount of rejection sales people get. I am too vested and convinced "left brain" person to be able to understand then accept rejection. The thing I am pitching makes perfect logical sense to me.

Basically, to be in sales, specially cold calling, one must have very, very thick skin, and ignore the majority rejection.

One problem that the author notes is that so much rendering is done client side via javascript.

The flip side to this is that very often you find that the data populating the site is in a very simple JSON format to facilitate easy rendering, ironically making the scraping process a lot more reliable.
A long time I used two small consumer cameras mounted on a rail side by side and combined the two photographs on my TV (which was 3D capable with simple passive goggles), which produced quite nice 3D photos.

Triggering the two cameras was completely manual but worked almost all time, even when taking photos objects in slow motion, as example people o animals.

For this part of photography experimenting it is a bit unfortunately that all TV builders abandoned the 3D capability of their TV sets.

Actual advantages and disadvantages depend on actual use...what I mean is test your actual workloads and applications over your actual network. Develop meaningful metrics and measure them.

But if that seems like too much work, it probably doesn't matter and either will probably be more than fast enough. Engineering isn't theory and doesn't happen on paper. Good luck.
For starters, the naming is much less confusing. But the behavior also appears to be enforced/validated at some layer (hopefully?), which function calling did not seem to be. I was experimenting with it a couple weeks ago and it would work like 75% of the time but would often give me invalid results for schemas with relatively simple nested objects.
I have lived 39 years here in New Zealand and have never witnessed or been near a shooting. I'm not saying shootings have never happened in New Zealand, but the idea that these things "happen everywhere" is asinine.

My vacations are almost always wilderness camping/hiking trips. Planning and readying for them takes me about a week, but I can get it done in a couple of days if I need to.

If I'm doing a more traditional vacation, it's still about a week of planning all told, but I prefer to get all that planning (and booking hotels, airplane tickets, etc.) done at least a couple of months in advance.
Yes, I agree that this works in theory. You need to drill deeper to see where it falls apart (and why we're not seeing these deals come together in real life)

from the landlord perspective: they would want a new tenant lined up or have a data showing they're likely to secure a tenant and have rental stream begin in time to recover the $2k they're leaving on the table.

from the tenant perspective: at full price, they always have the option to re-open a storefront if economic conditions change, so the value of the buyout has to overcome the value of the option. In other words, is saving $2k on rent worth not having the option to re-open a store here for the next year?

This ignores the time value of money, which you allude to, but doesn't fundamentally change the LL or tenant perspectives, only changes the specific amounts.

I agree to some extent, but if the user is on a free account it seems complicated. You are asking Cloudflare to review sites on a case-by-case basis, evaluate legal documents, and potentially open themselves to legal risk, all for a non-paying user they don't know.

The user might very well lie about their situation, but also their contact info, and can easily create many accounts to avoid genuine DMCA requests.
Cold callers were less of a problem 30 years ago. Now the entire US phone system is open to competition. You might think that was a good thing, but it's also what allows cheap VOIP calls appearing to be from "local" numbers to bother you night and day.

> If we don't consider the CEO's influence, I'm actually curious if the location of company headquarters has to do with the average age of the employees in the Bay Area. As the employees start to have families, they most likely move to the south bay for better or for worse, and I have a hard time imagine that they'd enjoy commuting via BART or Caltrain for more than an hour every day.

IME this is definitely true and it's often very intentional. One of the major reasons SF stole the startup scene from SV is that younger startup employees wanted to live in SF. As a startup founder you are very strongly incentivized to go where the talent is (or wants to be). When I was considering where to set up my startup a few months ago this was a huge consideration. Not quite at the level of HQ, but there's a reason Google has offices in both SF and South Bay as well, or in both SLU/SLU-area Seattle + across Lake Washington.

> If more people are like me who prefers living outside of the city proper, then I'd imagine a company will have access to more talent by moving its headquarters to the south of SF.
I don't think it's about more vs less as much as matching the demographics of your typical employee. Eg experience levels, pay, work culture, personality, mix of job roles
>sign&encrypt does not protect you either...

Well actually it does if the attacker does not have access to the decryption key ... which is very much the normal case. Yes, I know about "surreptitious forwarding" but I consider the idea silly in terms of usability[1].

>asymmetrical encryption is authenticated if you keep your recipient key a secret...

This is an expression of the idea that you can just keep the recipient identity (public key) away from the attacker and prevent them from creating a valid ciphertext. The fundamental issue is that this depends on a poorly specified property of the cryptography. Any protection against an attacker being able to derive the public key is merely accidental. The author of the linked article says:

>I am confident the property holds for the X25519 recipients, and that it would hold for a hypothetical Kyber768+X25519 one,...

... but provides no explicit argument to that effect. ... and then continues:

>...but it's important not to advertise it as an age-wide property.

In practice the recipient identity key will show up on the command line and/or will be kept in an unencrypted file. Age itself treats it as a potentially public value.

If you and the recipient have the ability to share and keep a secret value secret, why use asymmetrical encryption in the first place? Why not put that value in the plaintext as discussed previously in the article? The reason that there is not more research into the security of secret recipient identities is because there is no practical value in such use.

sorry about that. Please try docs.fleak.ai directly?
What Fleak offers is a simple way to capture the data processing logic, with or without LLM, and we make deployment to production with one click. That means as a user, no need to write multithread scripts, configuring clusters or create load balancers since Fleak's ingestion engine will optimize the latency across different processing unit (we call them nodes, whether it's llm or simple SQL). On the LLM side, we work with our partner to coordinate the throughput, so if there is a demand for 5000 bps Llm inferencing, we can certainly scale up to that. But for SQL functions, the users can basically get that level of autoscaling out of box.
This is guaranteed, function calling without it is not. The old way can work for you, but my experience is different, especially with complex schemas.

Not a fabricated memory, I've noticed the same trend. And I thought, maybe it's because being controversial is the norm lately. I hoped HN would be immune to it though.
Not relevant to any current actions by Twitter, but an interesting historical perspective is that it was very rare for a tech company to be in San Francisco.

Approximately all tech companies were in Silicon Valley proper (thus named) which is about (depending on who was drawing the boundaries) about 30-60 minutes south of San Francisco.

When Twitter opened in San Francisco I distinctly remember how weird it was to see a tech company up in SF. Then found it was due to tax breaks SF was creating for these companies and then lots more tech companies started showing up in SF.
Active users on the site is setting records pretty regularly, according to Linda. Usability and performance of the site is far higher than before in my experience as well. Revenue is down only due to an illegal cartel boycott, which X has recently filed a lawsuit to resolve.

I honestly think a crypto-micropayment solution (a la brave) would be overall a net positive. An easy way with send pennies or less with virtually no overhead fees.

It's shame though that crypto is to most people now, well, you know - crypto.
I have a QN90A that operates as a "dumb" panel via a HDMI-CEC through a combination of receiver and Apple TV 4K. Rarely/never need the TV remote and there's zero point to giving the TV internet access. The receiver has internet access so it can play Tidal.
You could say the same about "Chromebooks" -- but that doesn't matter anymore. Thanks to Chromebooks dominating schools and Google's general ubiquity, almost everyone knows what Chrome is if you've used a computer in the past decade.

The only market who wouldn't know is the same crowd that would never use a smart TV anyway.
It largely doesn’t matter to most people. It’s a gap.

When an employer has a choice, they almost always take the gapless candidate.
Funny... My TCL TV (75C745K) has been nothing but headaches. Extremely buggy and often needs to be rebooted.

Great panel but the software stinks.
I thought I was similar to you until I founded a startup and started doing sales. It didn't take as long as I thought to get used to it. It's a muscle you build with any customer facing job - yeah, better to think of it as a muscle rather than a skin callous.
Crowdstrike yet again attempts to use the legal system to avoid responsiblity for their actions (theres talk right now if they'll be held financially responsible for the damage caused), fix thier PR (the Delta v Crowdstrike), and demonstrate that they will bully people engaging in fair use parody (clownstrike).
For many things, fine-tuning as we know of it will NEVER fully solve it, there's no hope.

The typical worker in SF doesn't bike to work. Only 3.4% of workers in SF biked

> If I actually needed what the salesman was selling, I would have bought it already myself.

This assumes it's a frictionless commodity. I want a pizza, I buy a pizza. I'm not interested in cold calls selling me pizza because if I wanted one, I would've already gone to the pizza shop down the road.

However, not everything is like this. Jobs, for example, are the opposite extreme. If someone cold-calls me asking me a job interview, well, this actually happened (not via a phone call) and led to me moving halfway around the world and having to learn a second language. Did I get scammed? Ich denke nicht.

In the realm of actual products, there are might be things you think about buying for a long time, and then eventually you see a good deal and buy it. Cold calls may help you find a good deal (I doubt it now - but back in the era when they weren't just spam) and then you may buy it.

There's also just advertising, especially for B2B where everything is more opaque. I have no idea where to get advanced Ethernet switch ASICs ("merchant silicon" as they call it) and you can't even Google it because the information isn't public. If I was a networking company and some switch ASIC company called me to tell me they make switch ASICs and here's our product selection guide, that would actually be welcome information. (I'm not one, but let's imagine I was.)
With that logic, one only has to look at the decline of the quality of Google Search results and ask yourself, why does Apple continue to endorse such a low quality product?

I think it's more welcome in B2B transactions because there are less ways to find products and less transactions in general. Whatever you're selling, there's a good chance the company didn't even know they wanted it until you reached out to them.

It goes like this at trade shows too. I can find the available types of pizza by visiting any pizza shop, but to find the available types of 5G base station I'll probably have to attend Mobile World Congress, or they'll have to discover me (if I'm a more publicly visible and quite big company) and then call me.
