Fortran compilers did go through a phase when table-driven parsers were used, but it had the disadvantage of needing complicated lexers and statement classifiers that rely on semantic information. Fortran’s a hard language to parse, given its lack of reserved words, optional spaces, and many ambiguities.

The f18 compiler’s parser uses parser combinations to construct a backtracking recursive descent parser that builds a parse tree for the whole source file before doing any semantic analysis. This approach allows good error recovery without having to revert any updates to the symbol table.

I drive a 2000-era Chevrolet Tahoe. Large but not huge by SUV standards.

I park between an F150 and a Ram pickup. Despite the fact that all three are built on the same nominal size category - 3/4 ton pickup - the new ones make my 20-ish year old car look like a RAV4.

And it's not exactly a gas-sipping vehicle to drive.

I do wonder why nothing seems to get good highway mileage anymore despite all the improvements that have been made. My mid-90s Pontiac Bonneville got the sort of mileage around town that you might expect from a full-size sedan (even by American standards, it was large for a sedan) with a 3.8L engine driven by an early-20s male, but the top gear was set so high that it got 30 mpg on the road (7.8 L/100 km). Even modern sedans of the same nominal size get worse than that.
Unfortunately, at least as of last time I evaluated it, it still can't handle certain things that are currently only done with pickling in the Python ecosystem. Much of what's covered by scikit-learn's feature_extraction package, for example.

Not, I think, for any reason that's inherent to what those components are doing; a lot of it's just that much of the existing Python ML ecosystem was not engineered with robust productionization in mind. Possibly because the very existence of Pickle means everyone has an easy (if horrifying) way to get the job done for 0 effort. As the sklearn maintainers remind people every time they close an issue that asks for it, robust and secure model serialization is something that would have had to have been designed into the project from day 1, and doing it now would essentially require a rewrite.

Space Data Network
I am creating a decentralized space data network using Google Flatbuffers (spacedatastandards.org), libp2p, and Ethereum. The world needs a decentralized, uncensorable, pseudo anonymous space data solution. I am also going to roll in a basic conjunction assessment capability, eventually, so people can do launch / maneuver / reentry screenings locally against distributed data without needing to submit their data to a third party.

Contributions / comments welcome.
I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by "terse and rich syntax" but I wasn't expecting the example on the CML github which is referred to as quite cryptic:

> bs,4,,10bm5,360f10{i30vw90br5,360,2,2f4{i30v~ko}w10ay0.05}

That is certainly terse!

[aside: I'm not usually one to pedant over what qualifies as a "markup language", but I have to say this is not it. I'm happy to report that the author didn't think so either, because the 'ML' stands for "macro language".]
In that case, it should be a permission thing that a user can switch on for certain extensions.

Except when you read the basis for indictment section of megaupload’s Wikipedia page, I think it’s quite clear that the service wasn’t just another YouTube or Crunchyroll that was hosting copyrighted content and not doing a great job at taking it down. They were doing a lot more than that, they were running a file storage service that actively encouraged privacy and wasn’t actually useful for storing personal files.

They even paid people to upload high demand popular copyrighted files. They crossed a number of lines that other companies of the era didn’t dare cross.

As far as equating Kim Dotcom to Assange and Snowden, if it isn’t clear by now that Assange and especially Snowden are Russian assets by now idk how to convince you. Like, Snowden tried to travel to Ecuador via Moscow and Hong Kong? Coincidentally just stopping by at the number one and number two intelligence agency adversaries of the United States? He could have just flown from Miami to Ecuador directly. Why didn’t his original plan involve flying to South America? It’s so obviously suspect in retrospect.

But Kim Dotcom isn’t a political retribution target on that same level anyway, he’s just an egotistical idiot who thought he could play with law enforcement and get away with running a for-profit piracy website.

The one thing Kim has in common with Assange and Snowden is that he could have avoided a decade of self-imposed house arrest and/or exile by facing justice in court and taking the L. But Kim is attached to his ideals so much that it he’s wasted a good chunk of his life with this issue hanging over him, all because he doesn’t want to give in to the pragmatic reality that he brought upon himself.

Hertz: A High-Performance Go HTTP Framework for Microservices
Hot take:

"18th Century" mathematics was intiuitive and informal, to the point that it was inconsistent.

The 19th and 20th Centuries added rigor and formalism (and elitism) and devalued intuition, to the point that it begame uninterpretable to most.

The 21st Century's major contribution to mathematics (including YouTube! and conversational style writing) was to bring back intuition, with the backing of formal foundations.

Eh. I'm far-left and also think that the way he's been treated has been out-of-proportion to his actual crimes, and mostly predicated on his having pissed off powerful donors and not being Chinese. And I'd argue that there are plenty of people on the right who support him primarily because of his edgelord-iness, and not so much out of concern for an ever-expanding carceral state that deals out "justice" capriciously and disproportionately to whoever the oligarchs point at.
Maybe djot is better... I'm sure it is in a lot of ways.

AI Coding Copilot with control and visibility over context window
Hello HN, I'm the co-founder of Double YC W23 [0].

Been surprised to read that a lot of developers still prefer to copy-paste from tools like ChatGPT and Claude AI when using LLMs to code, instead of relying on retrieval algorithms and blackbox UIs.

Often citing that the lack of visibility makes it hard to understand what parts of their codebase are actually being sent to the LLM, and expressing disappointment that these retrieval mechanisms are not as good as their own manual curation (they know their codebase better than anyone else after all).

We understand that engineering the context inside and across context windows is a huge factor in getting an LLM to produce high quality code. That's why we've built our copilot prioritizing visibility over the context window, and giving the user the tools to carefully curate codebase snippets instead of automating the context retrieval (to this day we do not have automatic context retrieval).

If this describes your experience and want to try it out, Double is free to download and has a generous free trial. At this stage we're trying to get as much feedback as we can get and would appreciate any thoughts you have to share :)

>I like it. If I didn’t, I just wouldn’t buy Apple products. I’m not sure why that’s so hard for people.

Because Apple is so aggressive about lock-in that it excludes reasonable interaction between people with Apple and people without. The texting situation with pictures and videos is the most glaring example. You are not forced to purchase Apple products, except that you are.

The issue anytime this thread comes up are binary statements like the above. There's a lot more nuance here where privacy changes are likely both. When ATT came out it was good for the user, but also poked FB in the eye which I'm sure Apple enjoyed.

>> tried where the offences actually took place

The general rule is that a crime takes place where the victim stands. Where the perpetrator stand is a potential secondary location. The alleged victims here were "standing" in the US and so the US is proceeding with the case.

Trials in a third location are extraordinarily rare. Only things like the ICC or some admiralty proceedings involve trials in a third location.
Being "the guy" is the moat in entertainment. The problem is if you remove that, then the throngs of folks can make content to where it becomes "if everyone's special, no one is." I get it, I just wish it wasn't the case.
You're right that he wasn't charged, but: "For example, because Ulbricht contested his responsibility for the five commissioned murders for hire, the district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht did in fact commission the murders, believing that they would be carried out." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht#cite_note-46

Just because something doesn't rise to the level of provability of getting charged and sentenced for it doesn't mean that you can't say with a high level of confidence it happened.
Meh, I don’t like all-in-ones. I loved my iMac G4 at the time but there’s now no reason to tie your computer into your display permanently.

At least back then screen technology was moving so fast that you could maybe justify that waste. If you bought an iMac G4 and then your next computer was an Intel iMac you would be getting a major screen upgrade.

But now I’d say that the average person doesn’t really have any great need to buy a new display until it physically stops working.
The thing is, there aren't many hardware examples which allow installing an arbitrary OS, esp. if one has specific hardware requirements.

I prefer machines with a Wacom EMR stylus, and it's simply not possible to find a device which:

- supports the same Wacom EMR technology as my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and Kindle Scribe

- has a high-resolution display

- decent battery life

- tablet form-factor

I currently compromised on a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 (because I simply couldn't find a direct replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12), but the only OS option there is Windows 11 --- I've been considering a Raspberry Pi 5 and Wacom One 13 2nd Gen w/ Touch or Movink 13, but the display is only 1920x1080 and arranging for a battery is rather hackish...

Why would the register not be relying on the same database as the digital labels? This is how it works at lots of stores in the UK which have digital labels varying the prices day-to-day.
I can't comprehend why * wouldn't be bold. Given that underlining is how you italics when you can't italics, _ makes perfect sense.

If you keep the extensions updated, they could still have control sold to malicious actors and be updated to do malicious things without you noticing. Google's review process is not strong enough to protect from this.

Besides, Google could still allow you to install Mv2 extensions in Developer mode. Just like with Apple's 30% app store tax, this is about making money not protecting users.
To an extent, yes. In my case, I've done a lot of WordPress consulting over the past 10 years and I'm grandfathered into a very inexpensive shared hosting plan from Site5 that gives me WHM access and the ability to create as many sites as I want.

Works fine for static sites. Works fine for anything PHP. PHP versions are kept up to date.

But the cost of an additional site is effectively cost-free, so I'm hosting several small sites for small organizations and individuals.

> As opposed to elected officials, who... wait.

Most of the regulatory agencies are _not_ made of the elected officials. It's career bureaucrats, who can't be easily fired.

Positions appointed by elected officials are called "political", and they have limited power.

> The US government is the largest bureaucracy in the world with an annual budget larger than that of any private corporation, employs more lawyers than anyone else, and those lawyers' average compensation breaks six figures.

LOL. I see you have never interacted with the actual agencies. They are on about as shoe-string budget as possible. Most lawyers go to work for the Fed if they want loan forgiveness and/or want a steady job with guaranteed benefits.

> About the first thing a court is going to do is rule on an injunction

They are overwhelmingly granted even now, when companies can only question the _procedure_ and not the findings of facts. A company just needs to show that the regulation will cause them great harm if not stayed pending the outcome.

> This doesn't really have anything to do with a circuit split, except insofar as the SCOTUS is more likely to take the case if there is one.

If a company is operating in multiple circuits, it's pretty common to ask for injunction pending on the outcome of the trial in other circuits and the eventual appeal.

> What happens if you sue the polluters?

Usually nothing. In general, you simply don't have standing. You have to show a real material injury, and something like "50% greater risk of bladder cancer" is _not_ it.
My bad, I was wrong then. They even still falsely claim on github that it is open source, too (thanks to another commenter for pointing that out.).
Yes, of course - I just mean from an external perspective you don't really need to do anything, other than plugging the car in - Teslas's network knows exactly who to bill for the electricity usage, there's no faffing about with a barely usable app on your phone to even just start the charge first. But yes, ultimately it still has the problem that all charging sessions require tracking and your personal data, you can't use a supercharger anonymously(not as far as I know anyway).
Open-endedness is all we'll need
In the closed source world it's common enough that free trials will be something along the lines of "we give you a license key tied to your name, and every time you start the software it calls into our license server to validate the license key"

It's bad, but it's not unusual if you use closed-source software.
I posted it on Twitter, but I feel like revenue-based licensing models unnecessarily push the compliance burden onto the user. It's an honor system, and even they admit it [0]; even Unity, who also uses a revenue-based model, admits it [1]. I'd prefer licensing models that are able to automatically segment users into customers at the software-level, such as a feature-based or usage-based model. For example, they could segment on CPU count or disk size, requiring an Enterprise offering for databases or clusters over a certain threshold.

But completely doing away with Core and requiring license keys even for free users [2] (which I assume is for revenue auditing purposes) ... I feel like that's a big step backwards. All of this because their Enterprise offering seemingly wasn't valuable enough (or from the comments -- it was too expensive).

I'd of focused there, on making Enterprise more valuable or more accessible, instead of doing something this drastic.

AFAICT, they're also doing away with BUSL and DOSP [3], which is a big bummer.

> when a file was taken down, the host would usually make note of the hash of the file that was taken down and not allow that file to be uploaded and shared again

One of the complaints the US case had was that MegaUpload specifically did not do this. They de-duplicated uploads by hash internally, but when one download URL was DMCA'd, they only disabled that one URL and left other URLs with the same hash accessible.
> > he gets rich harming people I care about.

> Assertions of opinion as if they were fact

How is that an opinion? I stated what's happening as plainly as I could. I didn't say "him bad" - I said his work does harm to people I care about, which it does; and that he gets rich doing it, which he does. Those aren't opinions, they're facts. You can dispute that they're true facts, but calling them opinions does not make sense.

> I do think that.

Ok, well, that's unfortunate.
Ignores newlines as well, so just as annoying as markdown to me.

Why are almost all of those light formatters removing your line breaks? Everytime someone mentions some markdown variant (and there are many of them!) and I look up the syntax description, it shows that newlines are being ignored.

If it's trying to be plain text, at least behave like plain text, and don't remove newlines in a shopping list like this (just like hacker news also does with its comments):

-eggs
-milk
-flour
-water

BBCode has it right.

I've heard it articulated as "There are no rules, only consequences." which I take to refer to the Legal Realism idea that the rules are just what we bind each other to. The written rules only matter if some "powerful" entity (like the government, or a mob, or civil court) is committed to holding you to them.
I didnt say it didnt happen

Corrupt, convicted ex government agents staged the murders, there is video evidence of some of them that they made for Ross to pay them. Which got them convicted.

Ross was not charged with that, wasnt charged with conspiracy to do that, wasnt put in front of a jury for that. Because the government would lose that case because of their corrupt agents and agencies (Baltimore FBI which hosted the skit) messing up the case.

This doesnt warrant a double life sentence for the crimes he was convicted of.

1 presidential candidate will commute (basically saying ~9 years is enough, ending this debate), 1 presidential candidate will pardon completely, 1 will likely do neither until the FreeRoss campaign learns how to do campaign contributions. Its only a matter of time as crypto savants gain position
