I reserve the right to be spectacle about Big Sugar having something to do with funding this kind of research, BUT if it is true, this does kind of suck. Erythritol seems to be THE non-sugar sweetener atm. They put it in everything. So much so, that 90% of specifically otherwise labeled sweeteners, i.e. stevia, monk fruit, allulose etc, are usually "blends" that are mostly erythritol. Check your labels, even brands like Purevia/Truvia which heavily imply that they are "pure - (ste)via" or "true - (ste)via", have erythritol as their primary ingredient. The same is true for the bigger brands like equal/splenda etc. It's hard to find actual stevia or other sweeteners without erythritol.
no, this is a result of corruption. plain and simple.

Hasidic Jews pull similar "tricks" in Israel as well. They vote as a bloc and are the reason Netanyahu is in power. The vast majority don't serve in the army and get government financial aid, their contribution to the GDP is negative due to their larger families.

This has created a lot of tension with them and it's boiling over. The concern is that in a couple of decades they will be 25% of the population. They also play the racism card in Israel when confronted over their antics.

I am extremely sympathetic to the "SSL inherently breaks the promise of the web" arguments, and yet this story makes no sense... why is the cost of converting a website to use SSL being measured in gigabytes of content rather than in number of hostnames cross endpoints, and how is (from the web page, not your quote of it) breaking all of the URLs even slightly an acceptable step on the way to a solution?! Just none of their situation makes sense to me...
looks like it could have been a controller.
Yes, those are great points. You'd really want a team of devs who have worked in the enterprise IT world, as that is the business environment we're talking about here. You'd want a group who will get everything working, coding only what is needed, and integrating other solutions when the feature is a commodity.

Code is an important tool, and also a liability. Hire devs that understand that.
And where comes the human part in the equation? That some people think they are so smart no mistake can ever occur, like viruses escaping into the wild, proofs their lack of understanding.

In my experience, I find aerospace quality control systems are large behemoths in and of themselves and poorly suited to software development. It's disappointing but not surprising that large orgs cut corners on software quality processes.
> Surprisingly, if you allow a base to be any real number, and not just an integer, then the most efficient computational base is the irrational number e.

Now I'm left with an even more interesting question. Why e? The wikipedia page has some further discussion, hinting that the relative efficiency of different bases is a function of the ratio of their natural logarithms.
That probably strongly depends on where exactly you're living, though. I can't complain about my local trains, which are nothing like what you describe.
Just wanted to add in, even as someone who isn't super experienced in the field (1.5 years of contracting on top of 6ish years programming in grad school), I find logistics an incredibly interesting field. So yes even from youngish guys you'll be attractive even being a "non-glamorous industry."

Also I believe a large swath of developers just enjoy problem solving regardless of the application as long as solving the problem itself is a challenge. While others like steady routine, and I think both are useful to your ends. Of course there are some that like to be on the cutting edge (though IMHO logistics can very much include that, though I recognize that isn't your needs currently) and those people will choose a different company.
Yes. Though I might use a less-judgemental word that "tainted". And note that it's okay for parents to occasionally wish for a different world.

But real-world kids are what you get, not what you wish for. If your kid didn't hit the right jackpot in the genetic lottery, there's really no chance of him playing in the NBA. If she doesn't much like practicing music, then "concert pianist" is out. Etc., etc.

And a heavy focus on the kid excelling at the parent's "Required Talents" list, vs. stuff that the kid enjoys or is good at, often gets really bad for the kid's mental health.
There is a reason, because DEI introduces non-merit-based criteria for hiring, which necessarily results in less qualified hires.
I've been doing this since I was wet behind the ears, back when I would have taken any job that came my way. An underlying social aspect to job-hunting (and all aspects of life) is that people respond to how you present yourself. Behave as if you are professional and desirable, and people will tend to think of you that way.

We are what we pretend to be, so we need to be thoughtful about what we pretend to be.

An extradition treaty doesn't define what is and isn't legal, it defines under what circumstances a country who is party to the treaty will surrender someone who is currently sheltering in their territory to face prosecution in another country.[1]

So for example some GRU agents came to the UK and attempted to murder a couple of Russian expats using a nerve agent called Novichok[2]. As well as the original targets, three further people were poisoned and had to be hospitalised, one of whom died.

Unsurprisingly perhaps Russia won't extradite their millitary intelligence officers back to the UK to face justice. This doesn't change the fact that murder and attempted murder are definitely illegal in the UK.

I started making an open source macOS app to do this with whisper and potentially pyannote.

It is functional but a bit slow. I think using whisper directly instead of swift bindings will help a lot.

Really interested in adding diarisation but having a lot of trouble converting Pyannote to CoreML. Pyannote runs so slowly with torch on CPU. Haven’t gotten around putting my latest work for that on GitHub yet.

Happy to accept contributions —

Some priorities right now:

* Fixing signing for local builds

* Replace swift whisper with whisper cpp

* Allowing users to provide their own models

> Why didn’t ternary computing catch on? The primary reason was convention. Even though Soviet scientists were building ternary devices, the rest of the world focused on developing hardware and software based on switching circuits — the foundation of binary computing. Binary was easier to implement.

That's not the way I've heard the story. Ternary isn't just on/off, voltage yes/no like binary - you need to know the charge of the voltage: is it positive or negative? Essentially then your circuits are -/0/+ instead of (0/+) like it is for binary. Such ternary circuits resisted miniaturization. At a certain point the - and + circuits cross and arc and create a fire. The binary circuits kept getting miniaturized.

The story I've heard that goes along with this is that's how the US ultimately won the space race: the US bet on binary computing and the Soviets bet on ternary computing. The Soviets lost.
Mm, indeed.

I expect that, at some point in my lifetime, bio-printing and tissue culture will probably reach the point we can't even have trust in real life, not even with fingerprints and a DNA test.

Show HN: Nous – Open-Source Agent Framework with Autonomous, SWE Agents, WebUI
Hello HN!
The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months.

It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with.

It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the DevOps/SRE lead for an AdTech company).

It incudes the tooling we're building out to automate processes from a DevOps/SRE perspective, which initially includes a configurable GitLab merge request AI reviewer.

The initial layer above Aider (https://aider.chat/) grew into coding agent and an autonomous agent with LLM-independent function calling with auto-generated function schemas.

And as testing via the CLI became unwieldy soon grew database persistence, tracing, a Web UI and human-in-the-loop functionality.

One of the more interesting additions is the new autonomous agent which generates Python code that can call the available functions.
Using the pyodide library the tool objects are proxied into the Python scope and executed in a WebAssembly sandbox.

As its able to perform multiple calls and validation logic in a single control loop, it can reduce the cost and latency, getting the most out of the frontier LLMs calls with better reasoning.

Benchmark runners for the autonomous agent and coding benchmarks are in the works to get some numbers on the capabilities so far. I'm looking forward to getting back to implementing all the ideas around improving the code and autonomous agents from a metacognitive perspective after spending time on docs, refactorings and tidying up recently.

What I always find weird but understandable is that Boeing's stock price never really suffers from all these kinds of things. Yeah I know it went to $400 before, and recently shot up to $250, but that was more like a short time thing. Its stock price hasn't changed much comparing to 2020, when COVID hits every stock.

I say this is also understandable because 1) The government is probably going to bail BA out for the next 10 mess-ups; and 2) The stock market, since 2010, and perhaps further before, has been a money game, mostly dictated by monetary policies instead of corporate performance.

> For today's compilers they have something that compiles very slowly and they want the type safety checks because those are the ones the kernel developers use. That answers the original question doesn't it

No, the point was for today's compilers they could have something that compiles quickly and does everything they want.
Of course that’s also a possibility, which is why I noted that mileage may vary. I don’t suggest that everyone is served by working in office, or that everyone is served by working at home. I was pointing out that asking people what they think will make them happy is not the same as what does make them happy.

Before the pandemic, I had a strong preference for my next job to be 100% remote. I would have answered that survey to say WFH would make me happier and more motivated and likely to work harder. After the pandemic, I realize I need an office, and would much rather have a flexible option that defaults to in office. I learned that no, it would not make me happier to wfh all the time. No it actually gave me huge issues with motivation, and while I did work harder, it was because maintaining a satisfactory output and work / life balance was harder.

Not all the ways through it, but a good intro.

On first glance, your example:

(decimal | DivideByZeroException) Divide(decimal n, decimal d) => n / d;

Isn't that far off from what is pretty easily done in C#:

using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

(decimal? , DivideByZeroException?) Divide(decimal n, decimal d) {
try {
return (n / d, null);
} catch {
return (null, new DivideByZeroException());
}
}

Divide(6, 2).Switch(
(result) => Console.WriteLine($"6 /2 is {result}"),
(ex) => Console.WriteLine("This is an exception!")
);

Divide(6, 0).Switch(
(result) => Console.WriteLine($"6 /2 is {result}"),
(ex) => Console.WriteLine("This is an exception!")
);

public class DivideByZeroException : Exception;

public static class TupleExtension {
public static void Switch<T, E>(this ValueTuple<T, E> tuple, Action<T> action1, Action<E> action2) {
if (tuple.Item1 is null && tuple.Item2 is null) {

} else if (tuple.Item1 is null) {
action2(tuple.Item2);
} else {
action1(tuple.Item1);
}
}
}

It turns out that you don’t care. Maybe you can think of brown as a color that filters out blue light. You can counteract it by shining more blue light through it. Maybe not exactly blue, but some light mixture. In the end it doesn’t matter, except when you look at the negative with your eyes.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I wonder how easy it would be to port this to Rust, just for the heck of it...

One minor thought: where you have `A Tree is either a Leaf or a Node containing 2 branches each containing another Tree structure.`, perhaps you could have `A Tree is either a Leaf or a Node _made of_ 2 branches each containing another Tree structure.`

So that "made of" easily maps to the "of" in F#'s type definition. Just an idea.
To classify the anti-immigrant riots in the UK into the category of "nuisance protest" is disingenuous. These protests involved plenty of violence against random non-white individuals, arson attacks against homes and businesses as well as violent clashes against police. The Stop the Oil protests were misguided I believe but were purely protest of the "nuisance" sort - no violence was directed against police or members of the general public. I guess, at a stretch, spray painting could be considered violence against property.

> if you think your k8s won't go down, you're in for a surprise

Kubernetes is a remarkably reliable piece of software. I've administered (large X) number of clusters that often had several years of cluster lifetime, each, everything being upgraded through the relatively frequent Kubernetes release lifecycle. We definitely needed some maintenance windows sometimes, but well, no, Kubernetes didn't unexpectedly crash on us. Maybe I just got lucky, who knows. The closest we ever got was the underlying etcd cluster having heartbeat timeouts due to insufficient hardware, and etcd healed itself when the nodes were reprovisioned.

There's definitely a whole lotta stuff in the Kubernetes ecosystem that isn't nearly as reliable, but that has to be differentiated from Kubernetes itself (and the internal etcd dependency).

> You can view a single k8s also as a single host, which will go down at some point (e.g. a botched upgrade, cloud network partition, or something similar)

The managed Kubernetes services solve the whole "botched upgrade" concern. etcd is designed to tolerate cloud network partitions and recover.

Comparing this to sudden hardware loss on a single-VM app is, quite frankly, insane.
