But strangely I liked this feature, mostly because it allows me to use newer features without needing to wait nixpkgs to update the Go compiler to the version 1.23.

It is easy to disable if you don't like though, something like `environment.sessionVariables.GOTOOLCHAIN = "local"` or `home.sessionVariables.GOTOOLCHAIN = "local"` should do the trick.
> I've always thought that every authoritarian regime is simply a company whose business is to manage and extract value from the country that they own, like any other productive asset.

Yes, they are predatory organizations by nature - in fact a closer operational model would be mafias. This was developed further by Murray Rothbard in his book "Anatomy of the State": https://cdn.mises.org/anatomy-of-the-state.pdf
Bill Hicks, quoting https://www.quotes.net/mquote/978640 with original video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaD8y-CGhMw :

> By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. [audience laughs and claps] ... there's no rationalization for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, okay? Kill yourself, seriously. You're the ruiner of all things good, seriously. ...

> I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke..." there's no joke here whatsoever. ... I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." [audience laughs] Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags.

> "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research. Huge market. He's doing a good thing." Goddammit, I'm not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet!

> "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web.
> One can't cancel out random errors by integrating.

An ideal integrator has a response of 1/s. That's just a 1st order low-pass filter with the pole at 0. Therefore, it will filter out high frequency noise.

> Take a step to the left for heads and a step to the right for tails. Most of the time you won't end up where you started, i.e. you have residual error.

I wrote a quick simulation based on your suggestion [1].
Started by generating 1e6 random points and then applied a high-pass filter.
Calculated the cumulative sum on both the original and the filtered version.
TL;DR: filtered version has small and very fast variations but doesn't feature the much larger amplitude swings seen in the original.

Integration indeed does not help for those large slow swings (I'd call it drift in case of a gyroscope), but that's what I was trying to get at when I started to distinguish between short and long term random effects.
What I was trying to get across originally is that "all the little errors" (which I read to mean tiny fast variations, forgetting that drift is a much bigger issue in gyroscopes) which OP mentioned get filtered/canceled out.
I totally missed to explain that this will vary with frequency, which was my bad.

To play devils advocate:

- if your app has a number of messages (eg: “image downloaded” or “message sent” or whatever) then there is a consistency in using toasts as they all appear in the same predictable manner

- often “appear away from focus” is one of the intended goals of a toast; it’s a message that is present, but more in the periphery (the user can ignore in most cases, and it doesn’t obscure main content)

It is not just about legibility. Developers are trying to repeat patterns they see around. If you do not refactor previous places, they will reproduce the outdated pattern. Plus, it makes code reviews frustrating.
Get off the computer when you can.

Play board games instead of video games, they make very good solo board games these days also, but plenty of groups to join to play with others.

I haven’t seen LLMs do anything I wouldn’t google. LLMs are a great time saver, prevents me from having to manually Google. This is just funny. Because the data LLMs use is supplied by humans, and often we give out, and even believe, wrong information. Wish people would stop overhyping things so much.

edit: typed this on phone sorry for poor punctuation and spelling errors.
As Wikipedia states, nuclear vessels still have EOTs, though they’ve evolved.

On Virginia-class subs, the EOT has been made into a linear button array. It’s arranged in logical order (All Ahead Flank at top, descending to All Stop, then down to All Back Emergency; there are small gaps in between Ahead, Stop, and Back groups), and the button flashes when an order is received. There’s also an audible alert, of course.

The throttles themselves are small hand wheels, with the astern wheel being smaller and offset from the ahead wheel. These send redundant signals to the main engine controllers (which also redundant), which ultimately control the main engines. In the event of an emergency, there is a manual override station between the main engines – this is outside of maneuvering, and would require a different watchstander to man, since the propulsion plant operator is also running the reactor.

To your main point though, yes, a checkbox is inadequate. Physical controls are generally superior, which is why car manufacturers who moved away from them are starting to move back.
While it is true that LLM’s lack agency and have many weaknesses, they form a critical part of what machine learning has lacked until transformers became all of the rage.

The things that LLM’s are bad at are largely solved problems using much simpler technology. There is no reason that LLM’s have to be the only component in an intelligent agent. Biological brains have Specialized structures for specialized tasks like arithmetic. The solution is probably integration of LLMs as a part of a composite system that includes database storage, a code execution environment, and multiple agents to form a goal directed posit - evaluate loop.

I’ve had pretty remarkable success with this architecture running on 12b models and I’m a nobody with no resources.

LLM’s by themselves just come up with the first thing that crosses their”mind”. It shouldn’t be surprising that the very first unfiltered guess about a solution might be suboptimal.

There is a vast amount of knowledge embedded in our cultural matrix, and a lot of that is captured in the common crawl and other datasets.llms are like a search engine for that data , based on meaning rather than semantics.

PressReader allows reading various newspapers (in their newspaper form), the short sub to NYT I mentioned is a bit different and gives you access to the online version.

Your local library might have a similar offering specifically for the NYT.
> At best you might get the contact info for the parents of kids the same age as yours.

This is actually one of the better ways to make friends as an adult, especially as a new parent whose time is limited.

Your single friends are unlikely to have a schedule similar to yours - you can't as easily go out for beers after work, and you're almost certainly not staying out 'til 3am with a young child at home without some pre-scheduling.

But at the playground, you have people who have at least one thing in common with you, which means a common topic as an ice-breaker or an on-going conversation. You have people who'll understand your schedule, and your general availability. You have a place where you'll both be coming to regularly enough to either build up a rapport that can turn into friendship, but also a low-stakes environment where you can drift apart if you're incompatible without feeling bad.

As a parent, a playground is arguably the best possible place to make new friends as an adult.

> This is what happens on consoles today.

Except no, actually, it isn't. Neither Xbox nor PlayStation attempt to collect a 30% royalty from any of the streaming apps nor block them from steering.

Consoles have a significantly more harmonious relationship with the developers, whereas Apple's is drastically more abusive. This is not an insignificant difference, both morally and legally.
You are correct, I initially did not explicitly separate the noise according to its frequency (my mistake).
Integration only helps with high frequency error and can actually worsen low frequency error, more details in my second reply to kens.
Completely predictable response to PR fiasco. Some lawyer in the parks division thought they were super clever for finding one simple trick, and the weight of public opinion and bad press will do 100x more harm than the potential cost savings from using the trick.
I don't think you need an LLM just to parse class properties and turn them into a map. Not that familiar with Dart, but that's the kind of thing IDEs have been able to do for a while now just by parsing syntax the old-fashioned way.

Clearly I can't count today, but yes, looking at it now, it's a _much_ worse deal for the Pi in hindsight.

The cube PC has really nice build quality, 32GiB SKHynix RAM, an extra PCIe slot, space for an additional DATA 3x4K display outputs, 2.5Gb networking, plenty of USB-C ports (don't remember which speeds) and a few USB-A (3.x) ports, active cooling, and although an anti-feature for me, came with Windows 11 out of the box (I blew it away and installed Debian) on a 1TB Kioxia NVMe drive.

I use it as a headless server but it's a powerful enough system that I'd absolutely use it as a desktop replacement for day-to-day work (development).
It's annoying, but it looks like the original story came from The Charlotte Observer and was distributed through Tribune Content Agency, a syndication agency.

That probably limits the embeds in the story. You also need to get permission to show the video (at least reputable sources will seek permission from the original creator). Phys.org might not be contractually or logistically able to get those permissions and add the video to the page.
Virginia-class has lots of screens, but they aren’t touchscreens. The control panels have physical buttons and switches which are clearly labeled, logically laid out, and are extremely tactile. There is no confirmation for anything, because it’s assumed that you received verbal confirmation of your intended action before performing it.

Conversely, they also have computers for some maintenance items, and those (intelligently) have confirmation screens everywhere, because it’s just bog-standard Windows UI. The software UI team really should talk to the control panel UI team.
Th UK Trident 2 missiles are literally the same missiles used by the US submarines operating in the Atlantic - both sets of submarines are supplied by a shared pool:

That's an incorrect assumption though. Overcommit is for pages that have not been accessed yet, however when forking a valid use case is to share pre-loaded, mostly read-only memory between processes.
Oh sad! Dang I actually really liked the feature, it's super convenient for keeping developer environments in sync. I left a comment in that thread asking for clarification.

Ask HN: Is there no good OCR available?
I'm wondering if tools like Tesseract are still the open-source (and offline) gold standard. There are, in the meantime, document intelligence services from all large cloud providers, but there is still not really a usable AI model that is capable of doing good OCR (image, not necessarily scans -> text). Do you know any active projects or resources in that field?
Copyright notice says 2011, so this project almost certainly isn't active. And yes, there are much better diagrams-as-code tools anyway.

The newer plan 5 loans have lower interest rates... But are only forgiven after 40 years, not 30. On average new graduates will pay more over their lifetimes.

The blame for this system, if one is inclined to blame, can be laid at the feet of Tony Blair's neoliberal New Labour. The decision to begin charging tuition fees was made because of a belief in market economics and privatisation, but also because of that government's stated ambition to get 50% of young adults into universities. Without both factors, I don't believe the system would have mutated into the expensive beast it is today.
As an SE who is now working in Product, I can tell you that there is always an endless list of features to build to support the business goals. Some are pretty standard but some are true business innovations. As in, software features that support an improved and innovative business process that saves millions or improves quality or efficiency. These features are rarely innovative from a technical perspective, but from a business point of view they are true innovations. The business problem space should always push the innovation, not some fun technology, UNLESS a technical capability changes the landscape and encourages a new process innovation.
A toast makes sense only in 1 case: when it's a notification that is unrelated with the current action of the user. Similar to OS types of notification that the defunct Growl (memories) invented.

Any feedback from a user action should be done within the context of the user action. If the action is async, it should be clear and the feedback should instantaneously indicate that the action is queued for processing. In that case, the feedback should give 2 options: cancel and access the queue (or better give a vision of its progress ).
Sure, I work mostly with remote teams for the past 30 years. My point stands in that yes, Zoom is nice for socialising; I see no point in daily standups and voice meetings. We do have drinks/gaming for social; just no one wants to 'socialise' while working on something; it's simply not effective.
A convincing set of fake traffic lights requires a meaningful amount of time and equipment, as well as a plausible set of crossroads or roadworks.

To steel man your position though, a fake police costume would probably be just as effective at stopping vehicles arbitrarily. And despite being cheap it's a relatively rare occurrence.
>These 2 examples are somewhat cherry-picked

That's for sure. I have seen many Markov chain implementations, and if you could generate 1 funny thing for every 10 tries, then that was a good day. Both Markov chains and LLMs have a distinct style, which gets old over time. Markov much faster for me. So, in my experience LLMs win, by far.

I do agree with the author that the LLM style can get really boring. I experienced the same myself. But the Markov results, while much less restrained, are so much more nonsense too. Often questioning its overall usefulness. Which, I think, the world also agrees on: while Markov chain implementations were fun toys at best, which worked sometimes to a kind of funny degree, LLMs are everywhere.

The Soviets did have a "Fractional Orbital Bombardment System" (FOBS) for a while:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Orbital_Bombardment...

It's main advantage being that it could attack the US from the South (or presumably any other direction).
This looks super cool
You basically just described ads, although poetically (:
Edit: after having read the article i want to change ads to "ads, influencers, and pyramid schemes"
The START II treaty limited Russia and the US's ICBMs to a single warhead each, and the Peacekeepers were optimised as a platform to host multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) and when the US agreed to revert to a single warhead per missile the Minuteman III was much cheaper to maintain than the Peacekeeper.

So even though Russia withdrew from START II almost immediately, the US continued to unilaterally remove the MIRV capability from its ICBM fleet and stick to single warhead Minuteman IIIs.

No idea why this got down voted.

git is very much a blockchain

- sequential list of changes to a data source (commits)

- single, shared history of changes (main branch)

- users creating potential next change(s) to be added to the history (side branches and forks)

- consensus mechanism for new change blocks (merge requests and code reviews or approvals)

What's missing?
Very cool, I have been looking for the name of this for some time.
The Nuclear Navy is also excellent at post-mortems (though they’re called critiques – it is still quite possible and reasonable to blame someone if indeed it was personnel failure) and finding root causes. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the conventional fleet did things completely differently.

I appreciate that it is a free service and thank you for the time it worked for me.

At the same time I am a bit sad to see my use cases break. I often resort to more advanced code search when I have really obscure problems, for which the answers might be some old GitHub (or GitLab) repositories. I'm less interested in up-to-date information for those, so a stale index is better than no index for me.

But I can also feel the pain of working with GitHub and GitLab and their rate limits and such.

Go test: What happens under the hood with the testing harness when you run it
If you’re like most Go developers, you probably haven’t given much thought to what happens when you run go test in a project. You just take for granted that it works and your tests run (irrespective of whether they pass or not — though hopefully passing). But it turns out that a lot of things happen in the time between invoking go test and a single line of your tests start running. Let’s dive in and see how go test works.
