> For some reason, in Sweden, the word "gazonk" is common after "foo" and "bar".

That doesn't look like it's a potentially Swedish word.

It does resemble an English one: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazongas

(For whatever reason, wiktionary insists on defining "gazongas" only as "the plural form of 'gazonga'", but the word "gazonga" cannot be used at all; much as with "scissors" or "pants", only the plural form exists.)
These claims are certainly not false. They described ChatGPT.

There is zero way we could feed everyone without meat. Animals can process vegetation we can't at all - let alone effectively. That you can even have the temerity to make such an argument speaks to the extreme historical privilege you currently hold compared to the rest of human history.
Is it not foo() and bar()? MyVariable and… ?
That's a good library (I use it myself), but just to be clear for anyone reading: that's a standalone fixed-point implementation, not a compiler-provided one like the article discusses (via -ffixed-point).

Auxiliary values are a part of the ELF specification.

Did you compare older versions of OpenSSL against the kernels that were contemporary to their release dates?

And I read the LKML thread. In particular, I don't agree with statement 2, which seems to boil down to "it's harder to get right on VMs, and one time we forgot we had to special case hibernation, so that serves as justification for the vDSO."

The notion seemingly being "we want to make it easy to write carefree cryptographically secure code all managed by the kernel." I think you can have two of those three but probably not all three at once. What end state are we actually trying to create here?

Generally this. There are obvious reasons you might need to use Oauth2/OIDC... but for side projects, I really don't get why people are so opposed to storing a bcrypt or argon hash, and keeping a session table or using a JWT. I can see "never rolling your own auth" if that meant using your own hand-rolled crypto libraries, but somehow it seems to have became "you must pay for a service or use some magic library".

The prestigious journal "Artificial intelligence in medicine"? No. Just because it's on Google scholar doesn't mean it's worth anything. These are almost all trash. On the first page there's one maybe legit paper in an ok venue as far as ML is concerned (KDD; an adjacent field to ML) that's 30 years old.

No. AI/ML folks don't do imputation on our datasets. I cannot think of a single major dataset in vision, nlp, or robotics that does so. Despite missing data being a huge issue in those fields. It's an antiqued method for an antiqued idea of how statistics should work that is doing far more damage than good.
This is a sexist statement
Oh, cool.
I am too conditioned to assume no timezone means assumed to be US timeszones. Could be worth clarifying.
Yeah, getting the profile is obviously a very important step. Because if it wasn't, why collect the profile at all? We could just do "regular" LTO.

I'm not sure there's one correct way to collect the profile, though. ISTM we could either (a) collect one very "general" profile, to optimize for arbitrary workload, or (b) profile a single isolated workload, and optimize for it. In the blog I tried to do (b) first, and then merged the various profiles to do (a). But it's far from perfect, I think.

But even with the very "rough" profile from "make installcheck" (which is the basic set of regression tests), is still helps a lot. Which is nice. I agree it's probably because even that basic profile is sufficient for identifying the hot/cold paths.

Recovered Keychain Passwords After Migration Issue Using iChainbreaker
After migrating to a new MacBook and wiping the old one, I noticed that my Keychain passwords didn’t transfer—something I hadn’t expected and apparently, a common problem. Fortunately, I had a Time Machine backup and was able to recover the passwords using iChainbreaker by n0fate (available on GitHub). Sharing this in case it helps someone else who runs into the same issue.

With the LTO, I think it's more complicated - it depends on the packagers / distributions, and e.g. on Ubuntu we apparently get -flto for years.
Likely not worth it — consider the kinds of stuff Elon leads. Twitter is the least prestigious among them. He has far more interesting places to gamble on.
Depends on which way you look at it. From my perspective, it smacks of desperation and a lack of innovation and taste. Wearable displays have their place, namely in aircraft at high speed, but beyond that, their potential uses are few and far between, strictly IMO though.

It's difficult to capture lightning in a bottle a second time, especially following something major like Facebook, which isn't even to say that Facebook is objectively good as a solution for consumers, it was just wildly popular. However, the reason I bring up desperation is the sudden pivot to focusing on local content and a "reels" like exploration feature to try and appeal to gen z, who supposedly aren't into Facebook.
Indeed. Even worse some entire academic fields are built on pillars of lies. I was married to a researcher in one of them. Anything that compromises the existence of the field just gets written off. The end game is this fed into life changing healthcare decisions so one should never assume academia is harmless. This was utterly painful watching it from the perspective of a mathematician.

> distinctly pronounced from each other

This isn't so much of an advantage for "bar" and "baz". Those sound pretty distinct to Americans, now, but "r" -> "z" is a known type of sound change, which implies that for some people they'll sound the same. "R" -> "s" is attested in Latin, presumably because "z" wasn't an option. (Latin fricatives don't have voicing distinctions.)

For an only slightly different current example, the second consonants in "virile" and "vision" are perceived as distinct in American English, but identical in Mandarin Chinese, which is why the sound is spelled as "r" in Hanyu Pinyin and as "j" in Wade-Giles.
Fair enough. It still feels shoehorned in to me though, almost like an essay in school students are told to include a quote in their conclusion (something that happened in my English class at least once from what I can remember), which just adds to the vibe of this being "homework" to support their employer rather than coming across as authentic.
I have been using classic Casio watches for the majority of my life.

My A168WG has been the workhorse for the last 10 years, but is slowly falling apart (not really, just getting a bit beaten up).

So was planning on buying the same but noticed Casio have released a new version of the same watch with some new functionality, such as dual time (another timezone). All of these custom settings are configured over Bluetooth.

I was pretty excited, downloaded the Casio Watches up until realized I needed to sign up for an account to be able to setup my watch.. Why?!

After letting go of the frustration and signing up, I realized that Casio signups are borked, not allowing me to create an account.

So now I have a watch stuck in Demo mode.

It's practically getting him Cabinet-level power without the accompanying checks in an incoming Trump administration. (Or Vance '28. Et cetera.)

America didn't have a Rupert Murdoch since Hearst. Newsrooms preserved their independence. Twitter doesn't have a newsroom. It doesn't have journalists. It has Elon and his peons. That's powerful.
>Understand AI for what it is, not what it might become

Is kind of a boring way of looking at things. I mean we have fairly good chatbots and image generators now but it's where the future is going that's the interesting bit.

Lumping AI in with dot coms and crypto seems a bit silly. It's a different category of thing.

A few years later, perhaps with the welcome progress of more female faculty and students, textbooks changed the spelling, but not the pronunciation of the vulgar acronym 'fu' to 'foo'.

I was always told that fu became foo because it lined up nicely on screens and on paper, making the code easier to scan.

foo = 1
bar = 2

looks better than

fu = 1
bar = 2

Teachers at the Margins
Yes, another thing that often happens in those discussions: Someone cites Socrates with very similar complaints. To me this is not a contradiction. E.g. maybe the Socrates era has seen it going downhill as we do today, and between there were times with upward movement (maybe forced by some bigger event or development - things are complex). I don't know.

What I know is, when I talk to e.g. colleagues, the younger there are, the more they feel like materialized YT clips. And that's not a good thing. Of course I try to compensate for their younger age when I do the comparison. And of course I could be wrong, e.g. biased in some way. But I would sat that I really try to be fair, and I must be veeeery off if you say there are no such issues.

That's the issue with nutrition - you can't really randomize as every person is on a different diet that's hard to control. Plus, how are you going to radomize when people know what they're eating - you can't create non-yogurt that's identical to yogurt for the controls!
I don't see what the big deal is here? Why fight so much over such a tiny patch?

> old-school-nerd-bro

I'm trying to maintain that the nerds of yore and the bros* who invaded in the 2010s are different groups -- in which case "old-school nerd bro" would be a contradiction in terms -- but alas "bro" has simply come to mean "male", and, to the English majors writing the newspaper articles, "they all look the same". So maybe I need to give up.

* etymology: "tech bro", in analogy with "finance bro", which originated because fraternity brothers from top schools used to go into finance, but then migrated into Tech around '08. Associated stereotypically with developed pectorals and polo shirts with popped collars. Close to the "Chad" archetype, but with some light granola/yoga overtones.

I have kinda mixed feelings on this. Protecting an endangered species against human hunting, habitat reduction, or other unnatural dangers makes total sense.

But what's unnatural about grizzlies? Were they introduced onto the island by man? Nope. For that matter, the bears on Kodiak -- how did they get there in the first place? They have plenty of salmon so they probably don't need to eat marmots, if there are any. But maybe they wiped out other species we don't know about.

What are you going to do to protect them against other natural predators? And why not introduce them into other suitable habitats, like we've done with wolves in the US? Then we wouldn't be so dependent on one island.

Edit: this is in marked contrast to New Zealand trying to eliminate the stoats and other introduced mammals who are not native and are wiping out the bird species who are. The bears got there on their own.
Yet we keep electing them…
That's not really possible. The Brazilian government has only one bank account since the 88's Constitution. It's called "the unique government account".

I'm trying to understand that news since today's morning. It makes no sense.

Edit: Another comment clarified it. Twitter didn't deposit it on the government account, they created a new account arbitrated by the judge and deposited it there.
The article says "As the first known female grizzly on Vancouver Island, she could be the progenitor of an entirely new, self-sustaining grizzly population—the first in as many as 12,500 years".

They might be waiting for a long time for other bears to come

You're basically just saying it's unfamiliar, and not universal yet.

In my experience, using & configuring NixOS is much simpler and easier than most distros...until it's not, at which point, yes, the difficulty curve is very steep.

Even in those cases, though, it's got the nice feature that once it's solved, it's solved. All the config is in one place, and you can apply the same config across all your hosts. You don't get those situations where you get something working after tweaking configs, env vars and systems jobs, and can't remember how to reproduce it.

And though some of the conventions around NixOS are pretty arcane and convoluted (though the language itself is pretty simple), it has the advantage that you only need to learn it once and you can use it all over, instead of switching between bash, python, yaml, toml, systemd units and even more obscure formats (nginx, apache, postfix, etc).

IMHO, the tradeoff is completely worth it.

Buildroot will build the cross toolchain too unless you specify BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL, right? And likewise you can configure yocto to use an external toolchain.

A lot of the byproducts are configurable. You could configure the system to not use an initramfs, use only an initramfs/squashfs, etc. It is a really great tool with great documentation.

I agree that Yocto is a bit masochistic by comparison, but vendors like it because its primary purpose is to enable shitty vendor forks.
I'm speaking of what some people call smart phones. I was referring to the QR code thing. The statement that products don't change $Service is incorrect.

Ask HN: Broke tech founder's guide to user submitted content
Hi hn

I have a startup called muupi that caters mainly to Gen Z menhera, emo, scene, etc. Edgier people

They can't really use the site well until user generated content is visible. An idea I had was to paywall it. Surely if they're paying, there will be no evil. Well, that came with its own can of worms. Turns out that money often causes emotions to run high, and most people like free services.

I need some tech founder to give me real, practical advice on how to deal with user generated content. I want to ensure we aren't distributing nasty shit by accident.

Every time I try to find a lawyer it seems like a big time waste and rabbit hole where they pass me off to a different one ad infinitum because they aren't 100% sure of what to do or say, when I find one they are always exclusively concerned about their $5,000 or $10,000 retainer, they don't care about my users, me, they want the money. Problem, I am broke as fuck and practically insolvent. I had one associated with a well known VC firm recently tell me he knows I have not released a product, because he knows it's impossible to release a product unless you've spent or raised more than $200,000 ... lol

Also, they always seem concerned about jurisdiction which I guess makes sense but we're everywhere and also nowhere, so, yeah.

How should I police user submitted content, there must be some upload as a service that moderates content.

I don't see what's making you interpret this as a "big deal" or a "fight." This is Hacker News on a Saturday. I'm offering some really light and off the cuff analysis over what may potentially be a bad feature.

I would not consider the kernel's internal entropy management a way to find "less foot guns." I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way, in particular, I think it's telling that the only way to form a cogent argument around this feature is by invoking VMs with bad vendor state management facilities.

Anyways.. I felt like commenting because this generally feels like the "worse is actually better" trend in kernel development that's become en vogue lately. I personally, just don't like it, and I thought this was a forum where I could just basically say that, without someone feeling confronted by it.

I jotted a time ago a Sage snippet for options pricing in elementary calculus terms, pasted here https://pastebin.com/tTMp6fPk.

The idea is that the clean picture is done in terms of log-prices (not prices). Probability of log-prices follows a diffusion with an initial Dirac delta at-the-money. At expiration the profit function is deterministic (0 out of the money, a ramp if in the money) and the probability is certain gaussian. The expectancy of the value of a function applied to a random var of given density is like a weighted sum of the values, weighted by the frequency/density, as in a dot product (an integral here). Add to that the "time value of money" (see Investopedia) that works as linear drift, and you are done.

Well, the reason (misguided or not) is as you say, I imagine:

> so it’s a valid, JSON array containing 100+ million items.

> We are not going to attempt to load a this massive array. Instead, we’re running this command:

zcat ../latest-all.json.gz | sed 's/,$//' | split -l 100000 - wd_items_cw --filter='gzip > $FILE.gz'

That's one approach - I'm always a little wary of treating a rich format like JSON as <something> deliminated text - I'd be curious if using jq in streaming mode is much different in run-time. I believe this snippet, the core of which we lifted from stack overflow or somewhere does the same thing; split a valid JSON array into ndjson (with tweaks to hopefully generate similar splits:

gunzip -c ../latest-all.json.gz \
| jq -cn --stream \
'fromstream(inputs|(.[0] |= .[1:]) | select(. != [[]]) )' \
| split -l 100000 - wd_items_cw --filter='gzip > $FILE.gz

Note on MacOS zcat might not be gunzip, hence the change.
