Isn't this more "Hey, why is this website giving my NotebookLM different info than my own browser?" You reading Page_1 and the machine is "reading" a different Page_2, what's the difference between that information?

I'm reading this less as

> "We serve different data to Google when they are crawling and users who actually visit the page"

and more

> "We serve the user different data if they access the page through AI (NotebookLM in this case) vs. when they visit the page in their browser".

The former just affects page rankings, which had primarily interfaced with the user through keywords and search terms -- you could hijack the search terms and related words that Google associated with your page and make it preferable on searched (i.e. SEO).

The latter though is providing different content on access method. That sort of situation isn't new (you could serve different content to Windows vs. Mac, FireFox vs. Chrome, etc.), but it's done in a way that feels a little more sinister -- I get 2 different sets of information, and I'm not even sure if I did because the AI information is obfuscated by the AI processes. I guess I could make a browser plugin to download the page as I see it and upload it to NotebookLM, subverting it's normal retrieval process of reaching out to the internet itself.
I just realized that this actually would/should have solved OP's problem on MinGW, because zparseopts doesn't require calling out to a subshell. That's kind of ironic: they didn't realize that their solved problem was that solved.
> no matter how good is an EV, will only focus on the negatives

What? I would love to be able to drive EVs. They just don't cut it for the uses I need a vehicle for. Multi-hour recharge times and the weight of batteries make it untenable. Hopefully some day we'll get there, but we're talking an order of magnitude in both the charge and mass dimensions.
Mostly because the people still clinging to php are grifters and idiots, in my experience. I guarantee you can't save the php quagmire I was asked to fix.
I wrote a blog post about this a few years back and got lambasted for daring to question the wisdom of SSR.

That same post still gets plenty of views from people looking up on Google if they should use SSR though.

Doing everything client side means scaling asset delivery is trivial. A potato running nginx can serve an absurdly large number of concurrent users fetching the same static payload.

Those backend apis need their own scaling story, and different types of APIs have very different scaling stories.

What doing some rendering server side and some client side can do is create confusion as to what is done where. (And with particularly bad settings even leak api keys, oops!)

Wow, this really feels like a stretch!

How much fuel were you using to power your house for a week? I find it hard to believe you can pump more than 100 gallons of fuel in 15 mins.

> One thing I dislike with erlang based languages (both gleam and elixir) is that they use “<>” for string concatenation.

Erlang doesn't use <> for concatenation so it's odd to name it in this comment, like that language and its developers have anything to do with your complaint. If it upsets you so much, lay it at the feet of the actual groups that chose <> for concatenation instead.

> , the conversation rarely acknowledges the performance cost that comes with Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

This conversation is so old that most of the people having it already know this implictly so don't consider it even worth mentioning. I know I never do, because I started with things like php which works like that.
> they could just raise rates

Well, they (insurance companies in general ) also dropped a lot of homeowners in certain states, rather than simply raising the rates.

Perhaps they have done some market research and determined that there is an inflection point beyond which raising rates would actually reduce profits due to reduced competitiveness
I’m flashing back to bapi
Also could be causing user informational dissonance. You are potentially reading the "FireFox Version" of the site, and your NotebookLM is chomping away on the "AI Version" of the site, and they can be wildly different. And you won't even know because you don't see the "source" of the "AI Version". What are we gonna do, upload everything ourselves, manually?

I interview a lot of candidates and there is a much higher ratio of qualified candidates from bootcamps than from college, assuming they're not going to the trash ones like Trilogy Education Services (which, believe me, is worse than nothing). That's all anecdotal, but please read the rest as me explaining why that's happened to us.

The candidates from college, so often, come into the interview completely unprepared for the job. We have hired some bootcamp grads and college grads, but the only candidates we've ever fired for inadequate work were college grads (and this is, of course, a high bar at our company. We do our best to train and foster growth and hate firing anyone, but sometimes people are just not ready for the job).

I have some experience with this first-hand. I did half my degree in college before trying a bootcamp. What they taught me was night and day more practical than what I was learning in college. I think college CS programs are paced poorly and lead to students forgetting most of what they learned by the time they graduate. Bootcamp students have been preparing for the job 40-60 hours a week for months, and are ready to start as soon as they join. I don't get all the hate for them. I think it speaks to some kneejerk gatekeeping that isn't based in anything concrete.

But of course, there are lots of other reasons to go to college than raw practical experience.
what do you mean by performance issues like pre-warming caches? you mean with other backend frameworks you wouldn't have the same issues? or with clientside-only rendering?
The energy has to go somewhere. So if you are not wearing a seatbelt and the car flings you out like a projectile, the car itself will have slightly less kinetic energy, being slightly less dangerous.

In any case, even if you discount energy conservation, the extra danger to other people from you becoming a projectile is likely tiny. You can run some cost benefit analyses, and I'm pretty sure you'll come to the conclusion that a Pigouvian tax of something like a dollar a year is enough to offset this.

> One persons dumb choice to not wear a seatbelt can have potentially fatal consequences to others riding in the car who are not responsible for that decision.

Are you talking about people in the same car as the guy not wearing a seatbelt? Then you can exactly identify the other parties, so the transaction costs for Coasean bargaining are very low. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theorem Basically, if you think it's dangerous to ride along with people who don't wear a seatbelt, then don't ride along with people who don't wear a seatbelt.

As a pedestrian you can't opt out of what drivers are doing. That's a real exernality. But as a fellow passenger, you know exactly who else is in the car, and you can refuse to ride with them.

If I understand your suggestion right, it's like marrying someone with bad breath, and then asking the government to make a law to make your spouse brush their teeth?
There's a lot of variables there. How well sealed is your tank? Was there much air there? How humid?

Its definitely much shorter than a decade, but if stored really well more than a year is pretty doable. 2+ years can be a gamble though. And if it causes problems, it might cause some serious problems. Want to gamble on your generator during an emergency?

I've definitely had some gas sitting in a tank with stabilizer last a couple of years. I've definitely had gas sitting in a tank go bad in under a year.
Cool. I suppose the reason they're diodes and not just wires is the same reason n-rollover keyboards need diodes, so that current doesn't jump across rows you're not trying to read?
How would that work practically? What if evacuees show up at a FEMA camp and their papers were in their flooded/burned down/flattened by an earthquake house?
You’re probably being downvoted because the metrics they use do not measure whether you are a safe driver.

The metrics simply correlate with accident rates. For example, your premiums increase if you drive late at night, which does not mean that you are a bad driver. Their metrics also do not punish you for accelerating aggressively or driving at high rates of speed (only if you turn too fast or hit the brakes too hard, but if I slam on the brakes in the name of safety, or perform an evasive maneuver, does that mean I am an unsafe driver?)

Also, it’s worth pointing out other insurance companies have a solution for this that has worked for decades. If someone proves they are an unsafe driver by receiving a infraction or filing a claim, then you adjust the rates. No need to spy on the person with invasive amounts of data, or use arbitrary metrics that use correlation instead of causation. But Tesla has to reinvent things that were not broken in the first place, like door handles (just replaced the door handle on a brand new model S because dust got in there LOL).

'Modded Hardware' Defendant Denies Nintendo's Copyright Claims in Court
The point _may_ be that oranges can be evaluated based on a few simple variables (eg., richness of flavor, juiciness, etc.), where there's no common set of variables that can be used to evaluate all the different types of books (ie, what makes a good history book differs to what makes a good philosophy book, etc.) and if they can't be compared, a 'best' can't be established.

That said, as the author alluded to, 'best' in this context is vague and can mean what we want it to, eg., person a may consider best to mean the book that has had the widest influence, where person b may consider it to mean the book that they personally found the most insightful, etc.
It's also easier to implement a generate_code -> check_for_errors -> give_error_to_llm -> fix_code loop, because the errors that rust throws at you are most of the time really well thought out, and as succint as usefully possible. Comparing it with python, where you have to write custom parsing to trim it down and even then it's hit and miss on where the actual error lies, it's not even funny.
> No independent decisions is a completely unattainable scenario even for maximalist autocrats.

Sure, but you could still try to minimise independent decisions as much as possible.

Dropbox Co-Founder Claims JPMorgan Advisor Cost Him over $225M
well of course, but no matter what you do a "server" takes increased load as traffic increases (maybe it's just cheaper and simpler if it's a managed cdn)

you always have the option with react on the server of returning a minimal skeleton and client rendering the rest. the point is you can make those decisions case-by-case
Thank you, I didn't know I needed this
It’s not your tinfoil hat IMHO. I see a few managers and non-technical people (IRL and more on LinkedIn) who “study” prompting with the idea that they can replace people with LLMs and cut down costs.

LLMs can be useful in very specific tasks but these people don’t care about it as they don’t have the technical knowledge to see how and why. All they care about is more money for them.

It won’t be limited to developers though if that happens, and with the darkest scenario, UBI will have to happen as you can’t have half the population unemployed roaming the streets.
I tried feeding NotebookLM a Wikipedia article about the murder of Junko Furuta, a horrifying story of a poor girl tortured and murdered in Japan in 1989. NotebookLM refused to do anything with this document - not answer questions, not generate a podcast, nothing. Then I tried feeding it the wiki on Francesco Bagnaia, a wholesome MotoGP rider, and it worked fine.

Who wants this shit? I do not want puritanical American corporations telling me what I can and can't use their automated tools for. There's nothing harmful in me performing a computer analysis about Junko Furuta, no more so than Pecco Bagnaia. How have we let them treat us like toddlers? It's infantilising and I won't take part in it. Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, Apple, Meta and the rest of them can shove these crappy "AI" tools.
JS has concurrency (but not parallelism) despite being single-threaded, though.

If you ever put an await anywhere in your code, an arbitrary amount of random stuff might run between the time you await and the time the awaiting finishes.

Same applies to older mechanisms like callbacks and promises.

Race conditions are more rare there because as long as you aren't doing any IO, there is indeed no concurrency, so you can't e.g. get two threads trying to increment a single variable at the same time. They can still happen, though, especially if you accidentally do a partial change to an object, put it in an illegal state, and do IO before you finish that change.
I am very confused. Is this talking about NotebookLM (https://notebooklm.google.com/) or NotebookLLM (https://notebookllm.net/) or both? Something else? The article appears to consistently use LLM but link to LM, but the LLM site I linked has a podcast generator?

One of these projects has to change their name!

Show HN: Offline audiobook from any format with one CLI command
QuickPiperAudiobook locally generates an mp3 audiobook on Linux with one easy command. It can convert PDFs, epub, mobi, and many more by using ebook-convert. It uses any piper TTS model, and thus supports a wide variety of languages.

I've had great success using it to read more while reducing eye strain and computer usage. I think I've probably read 30 or so books this way now over the past year. Being able to listen to any content you want in audio form free and offline while going for a walk is extremely handy.

I hope it helps you as well!

The main thing learners utilizing comprehensible input need is volume, so if you actually want to make it useful as more than a one-off novelty, your priority kind of needs to be in pumping out the content (while keeping it relatively interesting since that's also important). That's really the hard part. I will also say that I'm not personally convinced that "here's the words you heard, now tap them in order" minigames are very helpful. Other than that, the features and functionality are nice. Reminds me of Duolingo stories, which is their best content IMO.

Storage space is really just tacked proportional to bedrooms, for the most part. My house has what feels like a bunch of extra space because I wanted enough bedrooms for my family. They didn't need to come with so much extra, that's just how they build homes with more than a few bedrooms now.

This instruction at least is very trivial to emit - any sequence of bitwise logic ops over three inputs compiles to one ternlog always. This isn't at all a super-clever instruction, it's more a super-boring one. If anything, it simplifies codegen compared to having to emit a varying amount of instructions for three-operand logic, having to find the best one.

There are IoT devices that can talk to geostationary satellites, and these are roughly 100 times further up (36000 km vs. 300-1000 for LEO)!

These satellites partially make up for the distance by deploying huge antennas, sometimes augmented by large reflector meshes that can only unfold in space.

Indeed. I've seen a number of stuffed-up multi-lane roundabouts in the States.

I've also seen a trio of 3 of them be adjusted (by changing lane markings and signage -- nothing of grand expense) in a way that was much more sensible and easier to follow than the original design.

It seems to me that a lot of the issues with them could be eliminated by having a bail-out path that is both safe and acceptable.

Logically, it seems like this ideally means providing the opportunity to simply go 'round again and do it over.

Or where that's not possible and there must be a lane with an irrevocable default exit, then: That exit should be low-cost and provide an opportunity nearby to safely stop and spend as much time as it takes to re-evaluate a second attempt.

It should never dump a driver into an unexpected 9-mile-long Pavlovian clusterfuck.
