just came here to say your post makes me feel old. esr was a classic a cool 20 years ago. enjoy!
I use Sonnet and sometimes Opus via Phind. They also offer their own 70b model. Phind replaced my chatgpt and claude pro subscriptions. The VSCode addon works decently well and the training/data sharing opt outs are clear and easy to enable and see the status of.
VAT is essentially flat-tax. Which like all consumption tax works against those that spend higher proportion of their income on buying things necessary for living...
Wow something Safari has already built and others haven’t.
Interesting.

The only time I had problems was very big JSONs with everything on one line, but prettifying fixed that. (Or was it XML? I forgot. One of those.)
There is no decent solution in Python and I’ve had the same experience with HTML as you, even using Weasyprint (which is the most popular solution for this). Instead I have been using typst (the rust based CLI). There is a Python library that provides bindings or you can run a subprocess to generate the files. It only takes a day or two to get to grips with the typst model and then you can write functions to produce consistent looking pdf files very quickly and with far less overhead than using headless chrome (ie. Playwright or puppeteer).
IIRC there were several nasal vaccines at this same stage in development before. Apparently the bottleneck is getting acquired to get enough funding to do the big expensive trials for regulatory approval.
Looks like it was some proposal for an UNASUR flag, but they chose the blue one:

It's not the cheat that has to be accepted, it is the game. The option prevents the cheats (or any other program) from being able to examine the game's memory.
I intentionally learnt that low level stuff to destroy the magic. I don't like magic. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the beauty in computing and the world, though.
> Complexity is the enemy of progress.

You are confounding the environment we are part of and the so called “free market”. Also interests of titans of the industry, the “free market”, and general interest of the population. Mixups like these are common in developing countries.
> Thus to generate a 100 words a second requires moving the model 100 times per second – requiring vast amounts of memory bandwidth.

It's actually worse for the majority of GPU implementations for large models. The matrices don't fit shared memory so the model is loaded many, many times to shared memory (as tiles). Also, unless you are using Hopper distributed shared memory, CTAs can't even share across them.

It would be nice to see a Cerebras solution for pre-training and fine-tuning.
How to Deploy Flask Applications on Vultr
I really wish that in India these smoking bans in multi-apartment units existed (and made highly enforceable).

My family and I have had a big struggle for years with a chain-smoking neighbor whose smoking from their balcony causes our entire living room to smell of cigarette smoke even if we keep 1 small window open on one entire side of the living room. Thus, it's an unfortunate tradeoff between adequate fresh air ventilation and chronic secondhand smoking exposure (and thirdhand (via likely deposits on furniture fabrics)). Fortunately, very recently we implemented a "blocker shade" protruding from our balcony perimeter (and we keep 2 other small windows on one side our living room almost always closed), which seems to have helped reduce the smoke in our apartment.
Then all the cheater would need to do is move close to the area of these ghosts and find out which the real player is. Its also going to be very taxing for the server to create realistic ghost players that move around dynamically.
Seems interesting, is it hosted somewhere. Not the repo but the app. I think there can be some interesting use cases from this.
Based on an "all cause mortality rate", so not COVID.
Interesting, but then I saw the price. Ouch.

How are you planning to compete with "asian brands" who see the same thing (less all the "eco" fuss) for a fraction of your price?
Some canine vaccines against respiratory infections are given as a nasal spray, e.g.

AFAIKS the protocol can tolerate up to about 80 microseconds of latency.

The graph at the end shows they measured (one way) latency at 1.3 microseconds (compared with 2.0 for IB).
Same reason you might write out other specifications or maybe make a flow diagram of states something might go through in your application.

Certainly, with complex relations between various tables, having a design tool like this can help you visualize what you are doing. This in turn can help you in spotting things you might otherwise overlook.

Some of it depends on the sort of database work you do and how complex your database will be. If you only have a few simple tables with virtually no relations between them, this might indeed be overkill for you.
By the same argument we should prevents the users from running any program at all because it might be malware.
Flagged already... I guess you're right
> I understand that there may be something illegal or unethical here, but I find it weird that organizations like ProPublica or others are given a pass for violating the privacy of others.

Journalism depends on getting access to private information, there's nothing new in that.

If not you could just shield against journalistic investigations by declaring all relevant information as private.

It's the job of a journalist to be responsible when using its sources, how to disclose the information, etc. but having access to it is a foundational aspect of investigative journalism...
A simple JSON API spec
I find myself implementing similar backend APIs when I develop applications. These APis are more often than not based on REST principles with JSON payloads. As a result, I have publised the start of a simple JSON API spec at http://simple-json-api.com. This specification makes it easy to write both backend and frontend code to handle the data communication between the applications in a uniform manner. This approach makes it possible to write a fairly small amount of code to get advanced functionality on the frontend-data-layer.

While some good API specifications do exist, this project attempts to provide a common middle-ground being not too complex, while broad enough to not be too specific and too complex.

While, for instance, JSON:API is a thorough specification, Simple JSON API aims to provide a much simplified data-structure leaving the server-side specifics out of the specification. At the same time, while specifications such as JSON Web Key (JWK) is too narrow.
The two platforms that most games don't run on? Most multiplayer games already require "root" access.
Undoom?
I was going to say something similar. Is it ever the case that a single app or something tiny piece of technology has revolutionised a persons discipline and ability to stay on top of things?

While apps might make things easier, unless the individual develops a personal system and follows it in a disciplined fashion, none of these things are going to make a difference.
The diamond-symbol moderators are masochists or flagellants.

Fortunately community-moderation works well - for the most-part - on SO/SE; not to say SE is anything like Reddit (e.g. the impotent protests over “Monica” which feels like it happened over a decade ago - and people still reference that episode in their display-names).

If I ever become a moderator on SO it’ll be because I want to bolster my resume (I did get to interview at BlueOrigin on the basis of my SO karma score - so it has value; certainly more than LinkedIn, ew)
Implementing a Svelte CachedStore
This library provides a cache store for Svelte applications that simplifies fetching, creating, updating, and deleting items from a REST API that adheres to the simple-json-api specification. It also supports side-loading of related data and automatic cache management.
Newly discovered protein stops DNA damage
The cells infected by these viruses don't form the sperm and eggs, so no. But a great portion of our genomes is thought to come from old viruses (which actually may be used immunologically!)

Because the user controls their own machine, so they can open a hex editor and turn your option off.
No, but this isn't high end (in 2024), or "enterprise". It's their own designed 100Gb dumb NIC.

That is like saying C is not cross platform because there is not a library for making desktop apps that use native components on all those platforms.
Yes, God forbid that a billionaire follows the laws of a country or union of countries.
I don't play that game but their anticheat is best in class. All modern anticheat that pretends to be effective has a kernel driver anyway.

But I was asking why people believe that they're safe from userspace software they install as that can read all the files and memory of processes of your user anyway.
Really Cool,had this problem when I was looking to move places. Do you reckon there is a profitable business model with this?
came here to say this... it was glimpse of the future
Cool project, I'm planning to use it in my new HomeLab
What an interesting day when you see a site you've worked on for the past 2 (3?) years get posted to HN! Except I tried submitting this site years ago when I had just finished it, but it did not seem like HN was that interested at the time, and I don't blame them. It was very niche and video game related, and the site also looked a lot worse. It's come a long way to the point where there where I collaborated with someone else to do a redesign, which I think has done great for the project at large.

I originally created the site as a way to track which games would be supported on Linux, since at the time the Steam Deck was releasing, and some games were turning to support it. And it has since blossomed into a larger project, which some other tools even pull from! I would have never even imagined that when I first started making this.

I do want to address something I see being talked about in the comments, which is the fact people say that anti-cheats are snake oil, or useless. This is a big misunderstanding, and I feel like those more technically inclined should understand that anti-cheat is a "defense-in-depth" type of approach. Where it is just one of many lines of defense. Some anti-cheats are pretty useless, and don't do much, but some actually do try and protect the game you're playing. But, just like DRM, it can be cracked, and that's why it's more of a constant arms race, rather than a one and done thing.

I'm writing out a longer post about this for the future, but just know that without anti-cheat clientside, it would be far too easy for an attacker to cheat in these games. We're still ways out from letting AI (see VACnet [1] and and Anybrain [2]) determine if someone is cheating server-side, so for now we have to rely on heavier client-side techniques and server-side decision making.

Also if anyone has questions about the site (or for me), I'll try to answer them here when I see them. If not, have a nice day!

Que? What was sold - by whom and to who?

StackExchange is still its own company - and owns StackOverflow - doesn’t it?
<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40997848>

Even if one agrees with the sentiment, it doesn't much advance the discussion, and there's ample shallow commentary on the thread already.
I’m using monospace for my homepage and for many of my projects (I had a custom font made express for my ASCII experiments!).

But I disagree with the claim that monospaced fonts are easier to read, especially for longer texts and writings. The monotone rhythm will tire the eye, eventually.

Side note: the CSS “ch” unit can be handy to build monospaced layouts.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. I really hope it is
AndreRH/hangover: Hangover runs simple Win32 applications on ARM64 Linux
the best anti cheat that i have experience is vangaurd by riot games. I was running a python script in background for web crawling, left it on and guess what? my account got banned. the support says the vangaurd found a script running. i explained them patiently that it was a web crawling script , still no use.
just yesterday i wanted to ask a question about average data usage of macbooks on askdifferent (SO sibling in the stackexchange family for mac topics) ... of course the question was removed within half an hour for being too fuzzy. tried it on the macos subreddit ... couldn't even post it there for too low karma ... posted it on r/apple ... still waiting for moderator approval. it's not the first time that it feels like it's becoming more and more difficult to ask a simple question on the internet. and i have 20k points on SO - was using it a lot many years ago - i know the drill.
I'm looking around for a good Linux laptop. Any recommendations?

I didn't check anything out in person, but have looked at reviews of framework, system76, thinkpads and there hasn't been one where there haven't been serious complaints (e.g. bent parts in some framework 16s causing the whole thing to rattle.)

(Is an M1 Air with Asahi a good idea?)
They saw the "drink verification can" thing and thought it's actually a good idea? I guess the torment nexus is next.
This is something we're planning on doing - just generate a large bit of text with markdown text and code in the middle. This is actually how the newer models already generate code - with the only difference being there's only one code block.

Via the use of <thinking></thinking> blocks, it's pretty straightforward to get the the model to evaluate it's own work and plan the next steps (basically chain of thought) but then you can filter out the <thinking> block in the final output.

The last trick to making this actually work is to give the AI model evaluation power - make it be able to run certain inspection code to evaluate its decisions so far and feel that evaluation to the next set of steps.

Combining all of this, it's very possible to convert an AI chat into a multi-step markdown + code notebook that actually works.
1500 Chat GPT prompts for free
Sup guys,

A quick msg to let you know that I created a little software that has 1500 prompts classified by categories etc...

I hate those notion libraries that are super hard to do.

I am offering 100 for free or upgrade to 1500 prompts for $29 lifetime but I am giving away lifetime pass for Free for the first 100 peeps. Nothing pay

I need feedback and what I can add more prompts

Let me know if you are interested just go to the url and on check out use reddit people...it will be free
Yes, the situation is strange. According to many sources the following is true:

1) Russia uses Telegram for military communications.

2) Russian military bloggers use Telegram for detailed updates, including graphic pictures.

3) Ukrainian military bloggers do the same.

4) Russian mercenaries use Telegram in former French colonies in Africa.

France may want to shut down 4), but I would think that Western intelligence services would not want to shut down the uses in the Ukraine conflict because they can track everything. So maybe they just want a better tracking API.

They would want to shut it down in preparation for a large Middle East war though. In that case, they'd prefer hand picked CNN embedded journalists and not have graphic pictures appear freely.

Lavabit was mentioned here. Perhaps Durov should just announce to shut down Telegram and find out if certain forces beg him to continue the service.
This is probably the correct link: https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover (the current link is the main GitHub account page.)

I’d love to understand more of how it works. The readme has enough info to be tantalizingly interesting.
Well I assume there are ways to prevent that (or make it extremely difficult at least)? E.g. look at denuvo, nobody has been able to "open a hex editor" and disable denuvo.
I am with you, as of now I use a paper notebook for all that.
But in a previous (more predictable) life I was using task warrior and time warrior and was very happy with it. Especially since it also runs on android and you can just sync the data.

If you like Command line applications and need something that is good for many tasks in nested projects and time tracking capabilities (e.g. as happens in software world) it is worth checking out.
Does it matter when userspace software can already read all your files and access memory of processes run by your user? This kernel access boogeyman is practically meaningless.
> boxxy is a part of the amyware discord server.

Can we reverse this trend? I've recently started to see an FAQ, on GitHub, hide the answer with a deeplink into Discord channels where you needed to find the guild to join first. I've never gotten disinterested in a project that fast. This needs to stop.
The link to the page uses the text "has been released". It's not intuitive at all that clicking this text would bring you to a page to learn more about what Cosmic is. The text "COSMIC, our new desktop environment for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros" could have been the clickable link instead.
I think some state is also being given (or if its not, it could be given) to the network, like 3d world position/orientation of the player, that could help the neural network anchor the player in the world.
If the descent was controlled gliding, the passengers (at least some of them) should be alive upon landing, shouldn’t they? Where are they now?
Which theory could explain the absolute silence?
The asymmetry between questioners and answerers might be increasing.

I get quality answers on IRC. Most other places seem flooded.
There are other possibilities beyond the two you gave. For example, I read of an n=1 study where a doctor was self-administering nasal heparin and was yet to get sick.

You might have a genuine question but it was rude to frame it has an assumption or accusation. Furthermore your follow up is dismissive of the whole community. Please reflect on your behaviour and try to do better in future.
And to clarify for those reading this, HIV is not passed from mom to baby via inhereted genome, but as a blood borne illness in pregnancy, during birth, or in breastmilk.
You would need to get rid of kernel level drivers for that to work. Which right now would completely disable any security software. But if it's ever done yeah this wouldn't be such a bad idea to isolate apps. However any security API would still have to allow read only access, which would be enough for most cheats, and by design blocking this type of access should never be possible since antivirus/EDR will need this.
I'm not talking about developer tools - cheats that come with the game, available in single player (and multiplayer if the host allows it).

But a lot of games do also have accessible to everyone replays that show every order given by every player, so catching a cheater that acted on information not available to them (because for instance they had buddies in other team(s)) isn't particularly hard, especially in tournaments with a lot of eyeballs on those replays.
If you reach a level of complexity where it makes sense you should use it.

If you reach a level of project maturity where you don't have (or want to have) the entire db model in your head you should use it.

If you have multiple models in different systems you should use it.

If you work with other people and you want to make it easier to communicate db models you should use it.

If you want to communicate db models publicly you should use it.

If you want to plan your db models in advance you should use it.

When I say you should use it I mean the end diagrams, I don't specifically mean this tool.
Surely, important bugs are ones that make it into production and impact your service - so any solution that catches bugs and stop them making it into production aren't catching the important ones.

Your point about automated testing only catching known knowns and known unknowns needs to be understood by everyone in the IT industry, because that's why it's so powerful - it frees up resources that would otherwise have to be looking for those issues, which can then spend their time looking for the unknown unknowns.
Individual projects and companies often had standards that they communicated to their users. Some treated it as a progress indicator where 1.0 was considered "done" according to the planned features, but each 0.X release was ready for production. Others would not recommend production use until 1.0.

In any case, most users expected 1.0 to be ready for production and stable.

As a work-around for tools that don't support 0.x releases, I guess they could mark it as 1.0-UNSTABLE or something, but I think most would assume that a 1.0 release implies a more stable API than a 0.1. This can lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary friction.

The tool mentioned in the article seems to enforce an opinionated view of development that results in partial support for semantic versioning. The developers of this library has a certain view of how semantic versioning should work, which they are free to have of course. We can't force them to implement the full standard, but it is still valid to ask questions.

The semantic-release README claims "strictly following the Semantic Versioning specification and communicating the impact of changes to consumers.". I guess it is technically correct as they support a partial implementation, but it is not what I expect when reading this statement. While the features they support are implemented according to the standard, it's not complete. I also think that the "communicating the impact of changes" part can be confusing when an upgrade from 1.0.0-alpha to 1.1.0-alpha allows major API breakage just because it uses a pre-release naming syntax.
Anti-Cheat will not help, if the games not Update it for more than 8 month.

And one thing the devs could do without Anti-Cheat, is to automate analysis of e. g. head shot rate, movement speed, etc. but most games not do that. If average player make 25 Kills per hour in a game and some 150 over longer periods i did not need an anti cheat to do something.
