Heterosexual women tend to be jealous of other attractive women, and view them negatively as a result. The culture of competition between women is fierce in a way that men typically don't get.
Is it tho? Correct me if I'm wrong but black holes, although pretty whimsical when first proposed, are an explanation for aspects of general relativity with indirectly observable phenomenon, not speculation on how aliens derive energy. It's important to recognize and push through biases and recognize there is a role for theoretical work but theoretical or particle physics is different to whatever encompasses Kardashev scales, Dyson spheres and other thought experiments. I think I'll just agree to disagree here.

> We can't guarantee their output's correctness

We can (for programming, at least): run the output thru theorem prover, ensure that proof is constructive, the Curry-Howard correspondence guarantees that you can turn the output into a correct program. It doesn't guarantee that formal properties of the program correspond to the informal problem statement. But even people occasionally make such errors (a provably correct program doesn't do what we wanted it to do).

> and we can't fix them to guarantee correct output

Same thing with other systems capable of programming. That is people.

You just can't make a system that guarantees correct transformation from an informal problem statement into a formally correct implementation. "Informal" implies that there's wiggle room for interpretation.

No, it doesn't mean that current LLMs are ready to replace programmers, it also doesn't mean that ML models of 2030s will not be able to.
not self describing. if it was just the field names I could deal with that, but even the values are ambiguous, since the same type is used for Bytes and embedded Messages. the worst part is the wire type integer has two unused values, so they easily could have added a wire type for embedded messages

I know but AFIK they have moved await from it.

Software wise they where anyway OpenStack based, which is a trusteable open source project Huawei is a major contributor to but other major contributors include AT&T, Canonical, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Intel, Red Hat, IBM. This made moving away from Huawei quite viable.

Hardware wise they also moved away from Huawei, but I'm not sure if this apply to all data-centers of them. But AFIK at least some data centers are Huawei free.

Or at least that is what they told some of their business partners which wouldn't have used them if they still used Huawei hardware in the data center that specific bussiness partner uses AFIK.

Show HN: I made Wordle interactive by adding Tic Tac Toe
Hey HN,

I started working on this while playing Wordle with my wife.

This one uses the concept in tic tac toe of getting 3 in a row. If the other person has the tile you want, you can compete for that same tile.

This one was built using just node and socket.io. It seemed like a small enough project to exclude other frameworks.

I don't want a 'personalised' search engine because such a thing promotes tunnel vision. What I would like is a search engine which offers a 'spam filter' with a few different settings:

- no_SEO: demote anything which employs 'SEO' so it appear below search results not guilty of this sin

- no_Blogspam: demote blogspam below the original articles the bloggers refer to

- no_Sales: demote anything which tries to sell me something below results which do not. This is a tricky one to implement because not every site offering to sell something should be caught, e.g. a site explaining how to repair a flux capacitor which links to a source for these ubiquitous parts but mostly contains instructions how to install and tune the part is fine.

- no_GPT: demote anything recognised as being generated through 'AI'.

- $filter: an option to create custom filters

Depending on the reason for searching the 'net I'd have most of these options enabled but every now and then I'd switch one off, e.g. no_SEO/no_Sale when looking for something to buy.

I'm running an instance of SearxNG and hardly ever interface directly with individual search engines so I mostly avoid the 'personalisation' problem but I do not yet have access to filtering options like the ones I mentioned.
This is super cool but what's interesting is that this same kind of bootstrapping problem exists for hardware as well. What makes computers? Previously built computers and software running on them. The whole thing is really interesting to think about.

No serious project wants to collaborate with a bunch of hobbyist projects who may or may not keep their code up-to-date. Years ago, the Matrix ecosystem was a prime example of even basic features like end-to-end encryption being in many cases missing.

Having a single client gives you insane boost to security agility over decentralized alternatives.

Feel free to strive towards functional decentralized ecosystem that feels as good to use, then switching will be a no-brainer.

Why? I think Google suggests that you send the payload encrypted through the notification. Google then only knows which app to send the message to, they don't know from whom the message originates (only "a Telegram server") nor what the content is.

Also, you could just send a notification instructing the app to fetch a new message from your server.

From the docs:

Encryption for data messages

The Android Transport Layer (see FCM architecture) uses point-to-point encryption. Depending on your needs, you may decide to add end-to-end encryption to data messages. FCM does not provide an end-to-end solution. However, there are external solutions available such as Capillary or DTLS.

I built something like this using manual screenshoting, OCR, and indexing with Meilisearch but now there are tools to do this automatically like perfectmemory.ai. You can definitely build something yourself by gluing a bunch of open source tools like I did but if you want something ready-made then it kinda already exists if you are willing to trust your operating system or 3rd party software engineers to not leak your information.

You’re not automating the “art” with llms. You’re automating stretching the canvas and squeezing out the paint. LLMs by design can’t create anything fundamentally new. Which is the “art” part of the whole exercise.
> For example, CP absolutely exists on platforms like FB or IG, but Meta will absolutely try to moderate it away to the best of their ability

Is this true? After decades now of a cat and mouse game, it could be argued that they are simply incapable. As such, the "best of their ability" would be using methods that don't suit their commercials - e.g verifying all users manually, requiring government ID, reviewing all posts and comments before they're posted, or shutting down completely.

I understand these methods are suicidal in capitalism, but they're much closer to the "best of their ability". Why do we accept some of the largest companies in the world shrugging their shoulders and saying "well we're trying in ways that don't impact our bottom line"?

semi-related, but also helps me to believe that this is the case (and not only because the different regional servers were called "shards" in Ultima Online):

in the "Game Coding Complete, Fourth Edition" book by two programmers who worked on Ultima and Sims (and other Origin/EA games of the time) back in the day, they share some war stories of programming, and if memory serves there is a portion where they talk about the original design, and the realization that lead to the sharding and how the login and shard system worked in the game.

Also, unrelated, a really neat war story about a guy who put in debug code to generate certain audio cues while a game was running to catch a bug.

The book all in all was a fun read if only for all these stories, and generally remember good coding guidelines as well but it is using older C++ that may not stand up to modern critique.

> Ask yourself why juries and prosecutors and judges and police are not anonymous but voting is.

Jurors are anonymous when it’s needed, for the same reasons voting is secret: to avoid coercion, blackmail, and retribution. We should want to keep reviewers anonymous for the same reasons. Prosecutors and judges are not, of course. And I don’t need to ask myself, all of this is obvious.

> Authors should be hidden from reviewers.

So we…half agree? As I said, think it would be much healthier to have double blind reviews, because what’s being reviewed is the work and not the authors.

> Why? When some reviewer dings me because he/she doesn't understand a fundamental concept, or some technical detail, or because I didn't cite their work, I should be able to have some/any recourse. Right now these people are completely shielded by anonymity.

And for good reasons. When I reviewed a paper from a big lab as a post-doc, it would have been impossible to do it properly if I had to fear the professor’s retaliation. Anonymity is a shield to avoid direct confrontation.

Rogue or stubborn reviewers are why we need more than one of them and editor discretion. The editors are not stupid, they know these patterns.
Sometimes people are just bad at predicting their own level of commitment or disentangling desires and reality. Or they know they are "supposed to" do something so they promise it or even believe that this time it will work... This is often the case with diet and exercise and studying hard. Then sweets, sitting on the couch and procrastination happen. Then the cycle repeats.

Also in some cultures it's rude to reject invitations so people always say yes but it's understood implicitly by both parties that it's just politeness. The US tends to be like this, always saying stuff like "you should come over for dinner sometime" etc and you must reply enthusiastically but both the invitation and the acceptance count only in reality if a date and time is attached. This is often baffling to continental Europeans for example who tend to be more direct and would follow up with a message next day, asking when they should come over. Which is awkward because it wasn't a real invitation.
If anyone can access the data, it's not encrypted in any meaningful sense.

If you have access to some data, the government can require you to share it with them. But if you can't access the data due to encryption, the government can't force you to create a backdoor to access it. At least not outside truly extraordinary situations.

True but the appeal for most developers is it's simple to implement. Virtually every language has a UUID library that works in one line or code.

Like in Go, it's just uuid.New().String() vs using crypto/rand to read random data, convert it into Base64 of hex... which will take more lines and effort.

Online dating and food delivery are popular because they're an allegedly more efficient and safer (in the case of dating) way of getting what you're looking for delivered to your door. Online dating is basically pre-screening, and a substitute for various real-world stuff that's increasingly less accepted (the workplace) or normalised (bars.. still a thing, but much less so than they were).

If I could chat in person with the people I talk to online, I would. And sometimes, that happens. But they're typically far away (for various values of far), while also being more interesting (ditto) than many of those more nearby.
