I don't even like the term "sideload" honestly. It implies that Apple reasonably has any say over the software installed on a computer they don't own, and by "sideloading" you are circumventing that. They have no meaningful say. Exercising power over a computer they don't own is simply malware, and would be illegal if it were not for the associated branding.

People should be able to control computers they own. Simple as that.
> What you’re proposing here is essentially “if we fix the C/C++ build systems environment, this would be easy!”. You’re absolutely right, but fixing that mess has been a multi-decade goal that’s gone nowhere.

Not sure I would call it easy, as it would still take a lot of effort to update how PyPI works to account for these new capabilities, but that's exactly what the Zig compiler & build system solved.

Rust is completely hands off when it comes to C/C++ dependencies, Zig can package and build them. That's why I created https://github.com/allyourcodebase/.

As I've mentioned on lobsters, look a this example `build.zig.zon` file: https://github.com/allyourcodebase/srt/blob/main/build.zig.z...

It mentions 3 dependencies:

Haivision/srt, the upstream C++ project
mbedtls
googletest

When you run zig build all these 3 dependencies are downloaded and their build.zig is run if present (the first one doesn’t have a build.zig since it’s just the vanilla C/C++ upstream project that we are providing a build script for).

The work to package everything must still happen, but once it’s done correctly you get the ability to build from any host for any target, which you can literally see happening in the CI runs of that repo: https://github.com/allyourcodebase/srt/actions/runs/10982569...

This kind of skepticism is exactly why I wrote this post. The details of actually coming up with a realistic upgrade path for PyPI are certainly much more nuanced than what I wrote in the post, but the core insight is that the C/C++ build intractability problem has been solved... and that you shouldn't depend on free big tech money if you can.

Nope. Wheels are the only thing that makes Python/PyPI usable. I don’t want to wait tens of minutes to recompile pytorch, or something (and conda is way too heavyweight for my tastes)
Show HN: Share interactive map stories on libmap.org via Mastodon integration
This is a proof of concept for libmap (https://libmap.org), where you can add posts and story threads by sharing the map URL on mastodon.social (to easily copy the URL, click the 'Share Link' button below the 'Home' button). When the stream listener picks up the URL, it automatically posts the map's current state. If you create a thread where every post includes the map URL, the map post becomes a map story.

The feud at the origins of New York's electricity
I generally agree with you when it comes to learning-focused content but there are definite cases where using an AI summary makes a lot of sense.

Imagine searching for a guide on how to disassemble your laptop. Unfortunately, you can only find a 30 minute video which is full of rambling, ads or other things irrelevant to you. You can at least in theory use AI to produce a textual summary which contains only the disassembly instructions and relevant snapshots of the video.

All professionals I've ever talked to seem to agree that videos are a terrible form of reference information (i.e. you need information to accomplish a task right now).

The same applies to recipe websites: an AI that can throw all the fluff away is useful considering the annoying habit of the authors to seemingly write about everything but ingredients and the steps necessary to cook the dish.

I think this relates to the https://nick.groenen.me/posts/the-4-types-of-technical-docum... as in any documentation that serves immediate work rather than learning should be straight to the point with as little clutter as possible.

I cook a lot and most recipe sites are full of fluff and ads. I wanted a place where I can store all my favourite recipes, formatted beautifully with no ads. Version 1 required the user to copy and paste the entire recipe, but version 2 you only need the url of the recipe! Would love to know what y'all thing
I love the idea, but the site seems to have ligatures turned on, which screws up the rendering for some of the fonts but not others.
> Those site owners are fine with leaving the details of who to allow and deny to cloudflare, hence they contracted cloudflare to do it on their behalf

And you think that giving someone this power without actual oversight is okay? It really isn't.

> ranting about Schlage for gatekeeping your access to shelter.... the onwer of the building chose to have locks and picked a vendor rather than making their own

Except they randomly find some people's "key" incorrect without giving them any recourse.

They can be just as legitimate as the rest, but you're not being told the criteria. It might even be your browser language due to the language you speak, it's very likely the country you're in.

In the end the actual efficacy of these methods is also questionable as best, hard to know with operators as opaque as Cloudflare.

> It only does MITM on sites that sign up for cloudflare. It's not global - any site that isn't behind cloudflare is not MITMed. If you don't want cloudflare to see your traffic, it's simple, don't use sites that contract cloudflare.

Except you don't get a warning before you actually try to enter. It can be added at any point. Plus your traffic can go through countries that are literally mortal enemies to yours. It's not simple and it's dishonest to claim it is.

In the end, sure you might have that freedom to restrict as you wish, but someone shouldn't be doing it at this scale without informing people and without oversight.

After years of dealing with colocation, I would never deploy a server without KVM in a data center. The cost of truck rolls is just too damned high! Even with KVM, I have had to make an emergency trip to a data center that is a 3.5 hour drive away due to a hardware errata on circa 2010 Intel Xeon boards where the network port shared between the KVM and the host would lock up under certain rare circumstances. The second time that happened I pulled the system from production.

If you do happen to have a system without on-board KVM, check out NanoKVM, which is a cheap (~$40) option for an add on KVM. It's rather more affordable than PiKVM. https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM
Yes, of course Israel has killed American citizens as well, can you not use Google?

You likely know who Rachel Corrie, an American student and peace activist is, but are forgetting on purpose. She was killed on March 16, 2003, in the Gaza Strip while protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Corrie was crushed by an Israeli military bulldozer while attempting to block its path.

Israel doesn't care, they will murder anyone standing in the way of all the free land land god gave them 3000 years ago.
It tends to be highly valuable for mechanical tools like these. Think of this product more like hardware (nuts/bolts/screws, not PC hardware) than a standalone "product". Most people who have a shop or do a lot of tinkering keep an assortment of misc hardware around just so they have it on hand whenever the need arises. This falls into a similar category, so having a grab bag to be able to handle whatever potential scenario you run into would be incredibly handy.

Show HN: Fusion-Guide: A Model for Generating Cot Reasoning and Guidance
fusion-guide is a 12-billion parameter, open-source model built on fine-tuned Mistral Nemo, designed to generate Chain-of-Thought reasoning and provide guidance to enhance other models' performance. It is meant to work in tandem with a general instruction model, and early tests show that pairing it with a 7-billion parameter LLaMA 3.1 Instruction model can outperform much larger models on certain tasks.

Inputs must be wrapped in <guidance_prompt>{THE PROMPT}</guidance_prompt> tags. However, there are some limitations—fusion-guide may struggle with very long or complex prompts, as this is still an experimental approach.
App Store reviewers need to get their acts together. Last week our app was rejected for submitting it for iOS 18, then they accepted it right away after realizing their mistake. Very weird.
> Their official policy in many stores is to do nothing

I suspect this is primarily a liability issue - an issue with the law, not the stores themselves.

Believe me, I'm sure the loss prevention departments would love to hire Terry Tate, Office Linebacker, or Dirty Harry, to handle the situation, but most jurisdictions will leave YOU on the hook for anything from personal injury, to unlawful detainment, to brandishing, to whatever.

The problem is with the DA, not with the store, in most cases.
Not spam at all. I just don't want to be so obvious about what the business was, even though I've mentioned it in the past.

Think top 10 keywords space and spanning about 4-5 of them.

It's the largest business in its space and a major national advertiser both digitally and traditionally. You have seen their ads on the street, on TV, on websites and on Youtube.

Even internationally, you have seen their ads on TV. Big hint.

> The camera will be used to take photographs.

That is a terrible reason to request camera access. It is just restating the access request and it should be rejected. Why will photographs be taken? Because it is a camera/photography application and will only take photographs on explicit user request.

Does WPF take issue with this operational decision by Automattic? If so, they have the avenues to deal with it, and they're the party who can claim to be aggrieved, if it violates some duty Automattic has to WPF. I seems more like this, from my understanding:

You sell a brand of aspirin in your shop. The brand has outsourced most of the production and decision-making to another company. That company puts messages on the bottle. If those messages bother me, I can bring it up with the brand and see if they'll address it, or stop carrying the brand, but the question of whether they've overstepped is for the brand owners rather than me.
Yes, and the process made public and transparent, especially for gatekeepers. This kind of mistakes happen both ways - legitimate apps have a hard time publishing updates and malicious apps get through and are made available to users.
If Halide were an alarm clock, the explanation would be wholly unconvincing: the rejection only seems silly if you know what Halide is.

Basically Protomaps / PMTiles allows you to do this serverless, but it has it's downsides.

There are two ways to use PMTiles with Cloudflare:

- Putting the file in a public bucket and use HTTP range requests.

- Deploy a worker to access it.

For the range request version, you can test PMTiles here:
https://pmtiles.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.source.coop%2Fpro....

It loads in 8-10 sec for me on a cold start. Of course it gets faster if many of us try to request it at the same time, but if you check it once per day for example, it'll be really slow, up to 10 sec.

Compare that with OpenFreeMap here:
https://openfreemap.org/quick_start

It's near instant for me. (I know it's not full screen but you can make the app and then see how it's in full screen).

For the Cloudflare Workers version, I didn't find any publicly available full planet test, so I don't know the performance, but Workers are not free. It might not matter for a small project, but the $0.30/million requests per month can easily add up if your project gets popular.

In terms of OpenFreeMap, hosting it on a Cloudflare Worker would be prohibitively expensive.
Thank you for your response. The gift of your keystrokes is much appreciated.
From the article: "It remains possible to put arbitrary bytes AFTER the parts of the shell script that get parsed & executed (like some Solaris patch files do). "
Why I use Llama:

- Ability to self host. This unlocks few things: (1) Customized serving stack with various logit processors, etc. (2) More cost efficient inference.

- Ability to fine tune. Most stock instruct models are quite lame at AI story-writing and role-play and produce slop.

There aren't really any pain points specific to Llama, but if we are creating a wish list:

- Keep the pre-training data diverse. There is a worrying trend where some companies apply heavy handed filtering on the pre-training data that's not just based on quality, but also on content. Quality based filtering is understandable and desirable, but please, keep the pre-training dataset diverse :)

- Efficient inference. Open source is way behind closed source here. TensorRT-LLM is probably the most efficient from what's out there, but it's mostly closed source. Maybe Meta could contribute to some of the open source projects like vLLM (or maybe something lower level...).

- A lot of the improvements we saw recently came from post-training, post-SFT improvements. And it's not just the datasets (which clearly you can't just release), but also algorithms -- and most labs are quite secretive about the details here. The open-source community relies on DPO a lot (and more recently, KTO), since it's easy, but empirically it's not that great.

I wanted to know when the clocks went back in the US and UK earlier.

when do clocks go back uk and us

ChatGPT said:

In 2024, clocks go back on Sunday, October 27th in the UK and most of Europe, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST). At 2:00 AM, clocks are set back one hour to 1:00 AM, giving people an extra hour of sleep. This marks the shift back to Standard Time and will last until spring when clocks go forward again.

In the United States, the clocks will go back a bit later, on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.

---------

Compare to using a search engine to find this out, which involves one search, then clicking another page, then finding out the dates for the UK, then searching for the US, multiple pages, multiple paragraphs of text

First result was the evening standard

---------

What date do clocks go back in 2024 and when does British Summer Time end?

Brits will get an extra hour of sleep from next month as the days get shorter and shorter.

The temperatures are starting to drop, marking the end of summer – even if it’s not going quietly. Nonetheless, autumn is well and truly on the way and that also marks the end of British Summer Time (BST).

For those who aren’t a fan of dark mornings, that means you’ll gain one hour of sleep.

The custom of changing the clocks twice a year has been around in the UK for over a century, taking place once in March and once in October.

There’s still a little while until the clocks change but the date is already known, as it always happens on the last Sunday of October.

In 2019, the European Parliament voted to scrap mandatory daylight saving but Britain has no plans to, err, see the light.

This is what it all means for the UK.

When do the clocks go back?

The clocks go back on Sunday, October 27 at 2am.

Why does this app use the camera to take photos?

"The camera will be used to take photographs"

Given how that reads, I'd think listing any single specific reason a user would want to take photos with this app instead of the default camera app would have worked fine.
I guess the reviewer might not be familiar with the name, but after seeing what the app is for, it should be obvious. Unfortunately it seems the reviewer didn't have the competence to reach the second part.

Mark Chiverton, a 33-year-old in the U.K, Caught covid 19 but also had the jab!

The SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect the brain directly, as many studies have now shown.

But those same samples include people who have been jabbed and have caught covid 19.

How do we determine what actually caused his symptoms if studies continually fail to look to Covid 19 vaccine as the possible cause for long covid.

Nearly every report of long covid I have read the sufferer has also had all the jabs.

Isnt Brain fog also a side effect of the covid 19 jab.

I would feel much better and more supportive if the study only included those that "did not" get the jab and then compared the results against those that "did" get the jab.
