This could be a really funny comment in 5 years if the plagiarism generators actually worked.

You could be out of a job with as little control of the whole situation as those rustbeltians you have such disregard for.

NAFTA and globalism killed the rustbelt. The refusal of auto plant Larry to learn Java didn’t.

When you ship off a persons job in mass this is what happens.
The simple truth is that for 99% of cases right now, you putting AI in your product means you are lazy.
Your product team either has no idea or no control over your frothing execs.
Your product will be outdated, replaced, or entirely canceled in 6-12 months and there's no reason I should build anything on top of it, or learn about it more.
You are pretending to be a master of a technology your company barely understands and you give off big clown energy.
Thank you so much for your Feedback!
I pull up the browser bookmark section labelled News and I look at each site manually to see what things people here may find interesting. It is just a list of sites I have found interesting articles in the past. As paywalls get added I delete the site entry.
I think it was a jab. Youtube indeed has a lot of videos. Maybe not of this OS, though.

Anyway here is a screenshot:

I was just here a few weeks ago for the pure storage conference and never saw a single security guard (unless they were plain clothes maybe?). The majority of the building was near empty on the convention floor besides the pure storage conference. My experience was very different and its weird for me to think only a few weeks apart they went from practically no security to police state tactics.
Not a definite answer by any measure, but pg started linking to https://news... instead of http://news... sometime around 11 years ago: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Before that, all http links instead.
I clicked the pricing button and asked me to log in, I assume this is not intended?

> but you need to use buzzwords like these to convince executives.

And yet we’re told execs are smarter than the rest of us and deserve to make so much more than we do.

Someday I pray the executive class gets its comeuppance.

The other poster didn't claim they were.

They don't need to be.

They don't even need to be given control of robotic bodies, though they already are.

What they do need to be, is competing for the same resources.

And there's plenty of examples of corporations doing things that are bad for humans in the long-term because they are good for short-term shareholder value. And filing SLAPP suits against any activist trying to stop them.
Dependencies requiring you edit some random XML file somewhere on your machine to get them working.

That and the whole JVM fragmentation and not being able to touch Oracle because it's Oracle and they'll use it as an excuse to sue you (at least that's the impression I had, the entire lawsuits thing is why I left Java back in the day).

You can say the same about other package managers, but it's not very often that I have to add another source to apt unless I'm running in a locked-down environment.
Wow, that’s fascinating. I have a tiny macOS app that makes GIFs that I use for screen recordings, it has occurred to me before now that it produces surprisingly good quality images with no visible dithering, I wonder if it’s doing this.

(still feels very stupid to have to do it but until Google Docs lets you embed a silent auto playing mp4…)
"Good enough" plus "I already know it" almost always beats the perfect tool that I don't already know.
The AGPL is absolutely a EULA.

The user of a program is the one who installs it somewhere and runs it.

Outside people interacting with the program are visitors. They don't have the source code because they don't have the program at all in any form. It has not been distributed to them.

The source code to the program doesn't even do them any good. They cannot use that to prevent harms perpetrated by the operators of that application.
How is CI not a solved problem with GitHub Actions? I used and loved GitLab CI years ago and remember it feeling better to use than GHA (though maybe I’m remembering through rose tainted glasses), but GHA are just working nowadays, and the ecosystem of pre-made Actions is in good shape.
Um, yes. And similar for any other PII that YetAnotherCompany wants for such purposes.

But First - look for the little gray "continue as Guest" alternative to creating an account. And if there isn't one, take a few seconds to think about good-enough alternatives. Your purpose in life is not to help boost online account count metrics.
It’s a catch-22

You need to put AI to raise money or appeal to a broad swath of consumers, but educated consumers and enterprise buyers are increasingly rolling their eyes at it.
What could be the main cause for things being so hard to cross over from simulation to reality?

Should we invest some more in stochastic programming to handle all the little quirks that cannot be modeled perfectly?

Or is the major issue that robots must work together with humans, which are already pretty complex from a biological perspective, let alone from a sociological or historical one.
Tell me about it! I had both an A500 and A3000 in the 90's. I sold both for a pittance...
Hey I currently use Pocketpod, I really like that they get uploaded to spotify same as your product. Could you maybe elaborate why is this better?
You can kick the alpha tires on System76's Cosmic, a new Linux desktop
You can only imagine the pain of having a "-" in your last name, when some documents accept spaces but not hyphens, and some accept hyphens but not spaces, and some accept neither, and some require other identifying documents to match each other...

I imagine this is the sort of thing that makes these stay so open. If my flight is cancelled and rebooked with a partner, but my id says "Last-Name" and my boarding pass says "LastName" and for some reason I'm in the system as just "Name," then it's really nice the I can still make it on my next flight departing in 10 minutes.
It will never stop being remarkable to me the sheer volume of enterprises of all scales, from the smallest startups to the most massive titans of our industry, all trip over and fall on their faces when it comes to search. A good search feature can turn a great product into an amazing product, and yet seemingly in every product, it is at best, an afterthought. Even Google which forged it's position in the market today off the back of just doing one thing, search, really, really well, has entirely lost it's way and utterly destroyed it's search product on the altar of profit. And now it too is following suit deploying AI as a half-assed solution for that situation.
Yeah, I keep that off - although the one time I looked at it, the text it generated was full of footnote citations, which linked to actual search results which supported what it was saying.

I still don't use it - I can't trust it not to misrepresent what its citations say, and if I have to check the cited pages I might as well just use regular search.
That certainly works but it’s a pretty big limitation. When catering with dynamic viewports on the web you’re really going to struggle to line everything up if you absolutely anything in the background, providing an alpha channel really is a much easier alternative.
No, I don't think the IDL matters either.
got stuck in loading nothing showed up
No, it's based on Apache Beam. Cloud Composer is the GCP's Airflow distribution.
Who would have thought. Don't believe the hype, especially if you have skin in the game.
Fuckups lying about their experience who truly believe they can get away with it.

The tri-fuckta.
Getting the vibe that both parties are probably at fault here. Sounds like python community can be a bit overzealous in it's enforcement of generally good rules, and potentially might be politically motivated to silence someone who wants to affect change. But also that Thomas Wouters is failing to understand context and time and place, with his other infractions (like overt endorsement of slurs) making him an easy target for censoring. Like if you want a community to be more welcoming to your point of view you don't do it by upsetting others in it. Also as someone diagnosed with ADHD, burn Babylon.
You should make a new programming language

Docker was largely met with enthusiasm here when it was launched. I believe you must refer to how Dropbox was received — famously negatively, initially.
I'd go as far as to say good architecture is an invisible enabler.

You don't think about the work that went inside Ruby on Rails to structure its functionality in a way Rails developers find productive and comfortable.

At the same time, another kind of architect, Oscar Niemeyer, has a good reputation between those who admire his works, and a very different one (sometimes good, but often terrible) from those who have to live and work in his buildings.

Architects of all kinds walk the thin line between elegance and practicality.
This is a golden age of machine learning in a lot of ways: Karpathy and others like him will teach you how to do magical things every bit as well as the most elite experts via YouTube, Lambda Labs and others will rent you the same kinds of clusters used by the most elite experts if not quite at brute force money furnace scale, Meta will give you the same code and weights they use in production, Huggingface has 10 trillion token datasets of the highest quality hosted, Anyscale and others have open sourced infrastructure that will empower staggering scale for even moderately well-resourced builders.

This should represent a Cambrian Explosion of delightful innovation on par with anything that followed the emergence of the personal computer, or the web, or the smartphone. And there is in fact a ton of amazingly cool stuff happening under the tidal wave of shitty monetization and financialization.

But the robber barons and the hustlers and the opportunists have gone for the jugular on how quickly and completely this event can be politicized (the lobbying and laws and the speed and ruthlessness around them are an embarrassment), how quickly it can be “monetized” via LLM spam and pump-and-dump Mag7 cap manipulation, and how directly it can be converted into a minimum cost offshore customer servicing model-style aspirations where consumers get a broken chat bot instead of a person while simultaneously facing pressure, real or perceived, that their job is about to be replaced by some inferior “agent” that isn’t done.

Machine learning is an amazing technology that should be strictly delightful in the hands of people who live to build awesome things that make people happy and prosperous and safe. “AI” has come to mean LLM spam, Thiel/Altman-style TESCREAL fascist politics, a massive surge in ubiquitous digital surveillance (which somehow still had headroom), and the next turn of the crank on the enshitification of modern life courtesy of the Battery Club.

The socially useful and technically exciting future of AI is just waiting on the fall of the “AI” people. It’s so close.
No one really “let them” destroy things. This is one of the key dangers of majoritarian government. The moment that people can vote for representatives the representatives will be purchased, and later, the votes will purchased. Once this happens, money will be destroyed to allow the purchasing class to rob the wealth of the civilization, and this leads to financialization of economics. This pattern has been repeated over and over again. In the USA, this process started almost immediately after the formation of the country, but it didn’t become truly corrupt until the McKinley campaign. The financialization process started in 1913, saw its first bust boom/bust less than a decade later, and then purposeful inflation began in 1971. The entire economy was financialized by the late 1990s which culminated in 2008. The banks are now so bankrupt that the Fed has begun providing overnight repossessions to member banks…
Inspecting intermediate representations is trivial by just collecting them into a variable?

More complicated scenarios are exactly what streaming APIs excel at, by treating each step as a single transformation of data. Lack of a proper group by function is one of my classic examples for how Go forces you into an imperative style that's harder to understand at a glance.
I start by using plain text Markdown files so that I can use many different programs, workflows, and it is future proof.

What do I consider Notes? Documentation, reference materials, ideas, journaling, and task management.

For documentation I use a programmers text editor. Mostly VSCode, but I still use BBEdit, Sublime and others

For the past couple of years the primary application I use for everything else is NotePlan

https://noteplan.co

NotePlan stores its data as markdown files, offers a very polished GUI for Mac, iPhone and iPad and is tailored to each. A web version was recently released and is still feature incomplete but very usable.

The developer has created an app that appears deceptively simple, but has a great deal of depth and flexibility for you to create your own systems.

If you want Tasks and Calendars as part of your note system, NotePlan is well worth a deep review. Check out the videos on their site to get an understanding. NotePlan also integrated with Apple’s Reminders and Calendar. It also can sync with Google Calendar.

Hashtags and @Mentions are available. Templates for meetings, journaling and more are provided or you can make your own.

Sync works flawlessly via Apple’s ICloud and the developer never sees your data. (I was skeptical of this but found it to be true). It is not recommended, but you can also sync via Dropbox or git.

NotePlan is extendable via JavaScript plugins many of which are provided by the community. These include simple shortcuts to complex new dashboard views.

Do you have your own additions to Markdown syntax? NotePlan made it easy for me to add my own syntax.

Since this is Markdown, you can use other tools. The NotePlan documentation explains how to use Obsidian

I mention the Web version is not yet full featured. However, it is VERY functional. My primary workstation is KDE/Ubuntu, and I use the web version all day long.

Finally, yes NotePlan is a subscription. I am hesitant to recommend subscriptions. But let me strongly state, I feel it is a fair deal. The subscription covers 4 native platforms. This is a highly responsive Developer on Discord and elsewhere, new features arrive constantly. I am on the BETA and get updated several times per month. The Developer has gone out of their way to not lockup your data in a proprietary format. The only lock in they have is providing an excellent UI and nurturing a great community.
how do you handle latency issues in real-time voice conversations?
what specific optimizations have you implemented in the orchestration layer to minimize delays between speech recognition, llm processing, and text-to-speech output?
Engagement. Ads in short videos are more likely to be skipped or navigated away from compared to an ad in a longer video when the user is engaged and more likely to stay engaged with that content through the ad.
Interesting headline.
I tried unsuccessfully too. It doesn't help that Serena Williams is a famous tennis player and "amiga" is "friend" (female) in Spanish.
Thanks for the question! I actually hadn't heard of PocketPod before - it looks pretty cool.

The main difference is that Digest.fm is more of a general-purpose tool. You can point it at any URL or newsletter and it'll create a podcast from it. So it's not just for news, but for any content you want to listen to instead of read.

Some key points:

1. You choose the exact sources. Could be niche blogs, newsletters, whatever.

2. Make multiple podcasts on different topics. I've got one for Product Hunt and another for AI news.

3. It publishes straight to Spotify, Apple, YouTube etc.

4. Super simple to use - just paste in a URL or your own script and you're good to go.

5. Works great for businesses too - you could turn internal updates into podcasts for employees.

6. You could run native ads - earning money with your podcast.

The idea is to be flexible. Maybe you want a daily tech news podcast, or a weekly summary of research in your field, or to turn your company blog into audio content for customers. Digest.fm lets you do all that.

I'm curious - what kind of content would you want to turn into a podcast if you could? Always looking for new ideas to improve the tool.
Printf Oriented Message Protocol
Its powerful but good luck reading the source. Its a bit of a tangled over-engineered mess at this point and the reason there are a number of "newer" libraries to try and replace it. I could not recall specifics since it has been maybe a decade since I last used it but it works until it does not and then its incredibly hard to debug.

Its been a decade and maybe its gotten better but that sentiment is why a number of people do not want to use celery. I would also add that it was created in a different mindset of delayed job and I believe there are better patterns these days without as much complexity.
Go has ruined all other languages for me. I really fell in love with Gleam recently and was trying to implement a fun side project in it. The problem is I really don’t have enough time to learn the intricacies of it, with a startup, two kids, etc. As soon as I have to look at some syntax and really _think_ about what it’s doing every time I look at it, I lose interest. I kept trying and eventually implemented it in Go much faster. And while doing it in Go I kept wishing I could just use actors and whatever to make it simpler but, is it really simpler?
It absolutely is still accepted practice. I purchased a hotel reservation by phone mere months ago. Hyatt's website was giving me an error during checkout, so I called them, and they took down my CC over the phone.

This is why I find it strange that the idea of sending CC information over a dialup phone line was seen as unacceptable.
A few years back I bought a few lengths of pipe insulation from the local Screwfix. The metre-long foam tubes, slit down the length of one side so you can push them over 15mm copper pipes.

The girl working there asked, out of interest, what I was buying them for. I started to say, pipes to the radiator are running directly behind the fridge... she interrupted to say "oh, actually for insulating pipes? We had a couple in here last week buying them for their kids to use for sword-fighting".

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me! Cheap enough to easily replace when they break. And the adults can easily nick them off their kids and have just as much fun using them to beat the shit out of each other, and they don't even hurt.
Nope. But I'm using a small firefox fork which does not support bleeding edge javascript/css/etc which cloudflare typically uses to determine if the user-agent will provide enough spying ability to be worth letting in.
> The one benefit I see is: ensuring everyone follows a standard ‘blessed’ way, and contain the chaos a bit.

Never underestimate the ability of a couple hundred developers (and users, POs, domain experts and so on) for creating chaos. The fight is real.

BTW, I was once nicknamed Dr. No.
However each OpenWRT router also has its own custom bootloader AFAIK. This is why you need different images for different devices, and can't create a single image for everything. UEFI on the other hand you just build one image and it works everywhere.
I have a good example of this dynamic using Comcast: when we left New Haven, I had to spend a couple hours in line at a dingy, poorly staffed office terminating my account (the dude working there was fine, he needed coworkers) and then a couple months of “accidentally” still billing me. They could afford to be sloppy on billing and cancellation where I’d lived because in 2008 the competition was (I am not making this up) 128kpbs ISDN and 768-1Mbps DSL since the phone company had badly neglected its wiring.

In addition to being illegal, this was short sighted because they’re a national company. Comcast/Xfinity is one of three gigabit choices in my neighborhood and they periodically send offers with competitive pricing but each time I remember what dealing with them was like and toss it into the shredder. I’m sure the regional office would say they’re better run than the New England one, or that they have a better system, but I’m not going to find out, and there’s no way they skimped enough to save more than they could have made with over a decade of service in a new region.
The first given reason in "https://discuss.python.org/t/three-month-suspension-for-a-co..." is discussion on the bylaws change:

> Overloading the discussion of the bylaws change (47 out of 177 posts in topic at the time the moderators closed the topic), which created an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, which encouraged increasingly emotional responses from other community members. The later result of the vote showed 81% support for the most controversial of the bylaws changes, which demonstrates the controversy was blown out of proportion.

I skimmed much of "https://discuss.python.org/t/for-your-consideration-proposed...", and all the Tim Peters comments I saw so far reflected pretty well on him.

He seemed to be pointing out risks of giving quite that additional power to a board, including the risk of it being abused to neutralize opposition -- only to have the existing power appear to be used to neutralize him.

I hope this aspect won't be lost in discussion. Knowing online forums of modern Internet, I fully expect some of the keywords in later-listed reasons given for suspending Tim Peters to trigger big upvoted threads, with the effect of burying discussion of the first-listed reason. As, for example, the current top-voted thread on HN as I type this.
Delete the word "foreign". I had a friend in mechanical engineering - a very big, "manly" white American - who had an awesome Southern accent. Which he would only speak in briefly, among friends. Because (his wording) "otherwise people deduct 30 points from my IQ as soon as I open my mouth".
For good reason. The web is a cess pit which people will avoid if they can.
It sounds like what you want is Coreboot?

Which it seems like AMD is interested in from the slides in [1]

There's no contradiction here. The ability to move at a cost of X kj/km has nothing to do with sustaining a power output of Y kj/s.

Your body can be thought of as a directed graph of different pools of energy with different edge weights representing how fast you can move energy between pools, and your fitness as being your ability to move energy into the ATP pool. If you can walk a km in 10 minutes for 200 kj, or run it in 5 minutes for 200 kj, and you can produce 300 kj of ATP in 10 minutes, then you're going to run out of energy running but be able to walk indefinitely, even though both are equally efficient. (In practice the numbers are going to be different, and there are more conversions than just glucose to ATP to think about, but I think the example illustrates the point).
