he must be having a legit mental breakdown. i do not understand any of these decisions done so haphazardly with no regard to users or their current situation, even if that was the direction they were moving. basically, telegraphing that he will personally go out and fuck up your day if you cross him. pettiness to the nth degree right here.
Not just me. I have plenty of friends who have tried therapy many times. Anecdotal, yes, but I’m unfamiliar with any studies about this.

And yes, I’m familiar with the differences. I was simply saying they usually walk in with depression, and move on to obesity.
I’m on the strong opinion that most highly configurable software should come with strongly opinionated defaults. “It’s infinitely configurable so you can do anything you want” is just… so annoying. You could implement an LLM using punchcards if you were mad enough. The thing that makes a tool effective is the fact that it constrains and specializes.
Just spitballing of course, but if there was a 0-day at the USB stack level, there are many possible reasons why it wouldn't be mentioned here.

Abstract. Logic programming has a long history. The representative of
logic programming in practice, the language Prolog, has been introduced
more than 50 years ago. The main features of Prolog are still present
today: a Prolog program is a set of predicate definitions executed by
resolution steps with a backtracking search strategy. The use of back-
tracking was justified by efficiency reasons when Prolog was invented.
However, its incompleteness destroys the elegant connection of logic pro-
gramming and the underlying Horn clause logic and causes difficulties to
teach logic programming. Moreover, the restriction to predicates hinders
an adequate modeling of real world problems, which are often functions
from input to output data, and leads to unnecessarily inefficient exe-
cutions. In this paper we show a way to overcome these problems. By
transforming predicates and goals into functions and nested expressions,
one can evaluate them with a demand-driven strategy which might re-
duce the number of computation steps and avoid infinite search spaces.
Replacing backtracking by complete search strategies with new imple-
mentation techniques closes the gap between the theory and practice of
logic programming. In this way, we can keep the ideas of logic program-
ming in future programming systems.
Supply chain attack
> For many years I've just viewed all of my devices as possibly compromised.

so you consider that someone may be reading and possibly modifying data on any computer/phone you own, okay

> It's one of the reasons I've been very down on cryptocurrencies in general

but you are willing to have form of money that is only accessible via said computer/phone that someone can read and use as if he was you?

how does it work? how's this not a contradiction?

You shouldn't compare mega doses for shrooms vs acid, they both hit very differently

shrooms feel kind of weak until you get to mega dose territory

I wouldn't recommend a shroom mega dose either, it feels too chaotic to take anything away from
I talked at length with theo about this here if anyone wants a catch up from the very start

Cliffnotes- This is a absolutely insane situation but matt has come out looking insanely bad imo.
I know it won't be in the holistic or deep philosophical way but even by just predicting the next token without any real sense of the real world LLMs are already capable of simulating basic reasoning which a lot of people lacks, I mean even the 7B llama2 model can tell you the Earth ain't flat... go figure.
Turkish native speaker here. -miş is indeed a tense (can be used as a base tense in the indicative past, or as a compound tense to add nonevidentiality in any other verb form).
Entropy is not the number of possible states in a system. Entropy includes outcomes not predicted by the mental model. Convention teaches this incorrectly. I’m the black sheep, bhaaaa.
In the above example, the Company doesn't have anything to do with the Google account that the user created themselves.

I don't know if Google is the best example here. Apple might be a better one:

1. User's work email is user@company.com

2. User creates Apple ID using their work email. Their Apple ID is user@example.com

3. User gets fired and their company email is deleted

4. User can still sign in to the SaaS apps using SIWA and their "company" Apple ID

It's worth noting that OAuth providers - like Apple - include information such as if they are authoratitive or not over a particular account.
It has a Markdown editor in the second tab on the left sidebar. I downloaded it to try and delete it right away. Not my type.

I was a long-time fan of Typora, too, while using it alongside iA Writer. The later won for me as it has a good iOS companion. But I'd be lying if I did not mention that my default is, well, Apple Notes.
This is one of the funniest exchanges I have ever read on Hacker News
it's not a subsidy if it's a user-pays system.

A subsidy is only a subsidy if users don't necessarily pay the full cost, and the rest is borne by some other group of people who _don't_ use the service.
Then neg it like anything else you refuse to believe.
Yes, the only backups you can count on working are those you practice restoring from.
I don't think that's true. Between my wife and I, our personal library has nearly 1,000 physical books (and I have a few hundred more digital books), but having those print copies means kiddo can pull down many of the same books and learn from them.

We don't keep everything. We won't even buy everything. We're choosy. But we love good books. Biography and history, science, politics, classics, my computer books (the durable ones, not the ephemeral "Java 2" kinds of things), and a large swath of science fiction and fantasy, and some on general fiction, and finally... cooking.

Amazon, or Apple, or Google can't reach into my home and suddenly alter my books. They can't suddenly excise them from my library when their license to "distribute" the digital copy evaporates. Paper books are a good thing, and I'll keep buying them.
You're right! But rather than reverse engineer the cars computer, how about a complete aftermarket overhaul? You would lose some features, surely, but at least the car would work, no?
What part is failure prone?

What is it being relied upon for?

Alternatively, more explicitly, lets look at it from this angle:

Let's follow exactly what you're recommending: parse it from the file.

Then add a fault-tolerant layer in front that parses a UUID-v7 from the filename.

What do you think of that?
I think the point is that most people know that Google can terminate your subscription to GMail, whereas most people would be surprised to know that Valve can also terminate your subscription to Steam and lock you out of your game library.

That's effectively what this article is about, Valve is complying with a new law where they must disclose to customers that they can terminate access to games that a customer already paid for because the relationship between the customer and Steam is of an on-going subscription.

GoG on the other hand explicitly states that you do not have a subscription to their service and so a suspension from GoG does not revoke your access to play purchased games. In fact GoG has no means whatsoever to revoke your access to play games you purchased from GoG.

It would be like going to Best Buy and buying a video game, even if in the future you decide to be Best Buy's worst enemy, or you get into a dispute with them, who knows what... Best Buy can't take away what you already bought from them because your relationship with Best Buy was that of a vendor rather than an ongoing subscription.
As a former ZD engineer, shame on you Mr Cusick (yes, I know you personally) and shame on my fellow colleagues for not handling this in a more proactive and reasonable way.

Another example of impotent PMs, private equity firms meddling and modern software engineering taking a back seat to business interests. Truly pathetic. Truly truly pathetic.
Yes surely we can legislate our way out of this one. Wait how did we get here?
I'd call it scratch page or something of the sort.

The main issue in my mind is that an actual set of registers which are inside the chip do already exist.
The inverse square law is an example of potential distribution, not number of states.
paying for part of the ticket is not an investment, as there's no residual value from this payment. An investment must have some sort of residual value, which over time, is recouped and perhaps even makes a return (hopefully).
Right. I considered getting a new game console. Then I decided to just get a controller and see what I could play on my laptop.
How about a USB "MITM" device that presents itself as a serial port to the OS when the user connects a USB storage device.

The user would then use a terminal emulator to connect to something like a BBS[1] where they could browse files, and download or upload files to the connected USB storage device using XMODEM[2] like in the good old days.

edit: It could of course also filter the files, for example not list any executable files, and prevent transfer of executable files based on scanning their contents.

The MITM device would be implemented using a microcontroller with signed firmware, and careful design to prevent a connected USB device to do shenanigans like voltage glitching. This would include using isolated DC-DC and isolated data lines ala like this[3].

The MITM would only interact with the storage device class. If the connected device presents itself as more, say a keyboard, it would just ignore those.

The user must be prevented from bypassing the MITM device, though this could be done through physical means.

Show HN: Makedown – A Markdown powered Makefile alternative
`makedown` allows you to organise your shell scripts in one or several markdown
files, by mix and matching different scripting languages for various commands
and needs.

zsh/bash/sh, python, javascript or anything else available on your system.

Handy for replacing one-line-based package.json scripts or shell-based
Makefiles.

One can also write documentation and explanations to various commands in the same
`.md` file.

Most editors highlight correctly most languages in the markdown code blocks,
even when you use several scripting languages.

Here is a demo .md file https://github.com/tzador/makedown/blob/main/DEMO.md

More information available in the
https://github.com/tzador/makedown/blob/main/README.md

Provided the following `example.md` in the root of your project,
the defined commands are available to run from any of the projects subfolders:

--- Start of example.md ---

# hello

Prints "Hello" to `stdout` using Zsh.

```zsh
echo "Hello"
```

# world

Just prints "World" to `stdout` using JavaScript.

```js
console.log("World");
```

# weather-tomorrow

Prints the weather for tomorrow to `stdout` using Zsh.

```zsh
curl wttr.in/tomorrow
```

# generate-password

Prints a random password to `stdout` using Python.

```python
import random
import string

length = 16

characters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
password = ''.join(random.choice(characters) for _ in range(length))
print(password)
```

--- End of example.md ---

You can run any of the commands from anywhere in the project,
just by typing `makedown a-command-name` or a shorter `m a-command-name`.

$ makedown --help
hello - Prints "Hello" to `stdout` using Zsh.
world - Just prints "World" to `stdout` using JavaScript.
weather-tomorrow - Prints the weather for tomorrow to `stdout` using Zsh.
generate-password - Prints a random password to `stdout` using Python.

$ makedown hello
Hello

$ makedown world
World

$ m weather-tomorrow
Sunshine # prints more details actually

$ m generate-password
4444444444444444

$ m generate-password --help
Prints a random password to `stdout` using Python.

The commands have simple syntax, they start with a header with a link and stop
when the next header starts.

Like so:

# [a-command-name]() A short description.

Some documentation.

```bash
some command
```

You can use other interpreters, like `python`, `node`, `ruby`, etc.

You can also use a custom interpreter specified using hashbang, like:

# [run-deno-script]() Runs a script using the Deno interpreter.

Deno has to be installed on your system.

```typescript
#!/usr/bin/env deno run

const message: string = "hello, world";
console.log(message);
```

All the .md files in the current directory and all the parents are examined
when looking for commands.

Would be very grateful for any suggestions or other feedback.

Thank you.
At first we were saying it as a joke, but I am increasingly seriously wondering just how many famous people in the Valley are in various stages of stimulant psychosis, considering how widespread the joking-not-joking talk is about liberally using Adderall etc. to maximize "the grind".
the taste is really horrible and the lemon doesn't go well with it
Honestly I think you could go a long way with default evil mode, and updated documentation with evil keybindings in mind.
Most of these comments are just cursor folks selling the product
Apologies if I got the tone wrong there, I definitely wasn't trying to roast the other projects.

In terms of what I prioritized bug-for-bug compatibility on, I tailored it to getting https://github.com/squeek502/win32-samples-rc-tests passing 100%, and then also tried to take into account how likely a bug/quirk was to be used in a real .rc file (ultimately this is just a judgement call, though). The results of that test suite (provided in the readme) is also a better indication of how rc.exe-compatible the various resource compilers are in practice (i.e. on 'real' .rc files).
Yeah, it's very common in news because it's a very concise way to indicate the possibility of doubt because it's just "gossip" (as the title here would have it).
Interesting. Living in Japan there is still a strong culture to try to avoid using air conditioning at night (in particular among the elderly), so there is a whole market for both staying warm in bed during winter and cool in bed during the hot and humid summers. My own family has primarily been using mattress protectors that conduct heat more efficiently [1], towel blankets (タオルケット) [2], and gel pads than are stored in the fridge and then put under the pillow cover just before you go to sleep. There are plenty more on the market, but I have solely by using the conducting mattress protectors been able to sleep with the air conditioning several degrees higher than I would have been able to in the past.

Man, lately, I feel like this stuff has been following me around. I'd really like to deep-dive into logic programming and related paradigms. Just recently came across Answer Set Programming[0] (via Potassco's clingo[1]), and it has made me realize just how ignorant I am of the design space that's being explored here.

More personally, I recently spent enough time with first Scheme and then APL that the paradigms clicked for me, and the effect that had on the entirety of my outlook on work was dramatically changed as a result. For whatever reason, I feel like breaking down my ingrained technical paradigms has allowed me to integrate and strengthen my soft skills.

Plus, mind-expanding experiences are just plain fun. Looking for more of that juice!

thats not "making the image models much faster", thats just making getting the image back slightly faster
At least we have Affinity, Pixelmator, and a few others.
> why is rail treated so differently?

roads are much cheaper per mile than rail, so you can have more roads than you can have rail.

you can also have lower grade roads, which is once again, cheaper (so you can have more of it). You cannot have lower-grade rail - the train will crash.

Therefore, to provide a massive network of transport, roads are the only option. Rail provide cheap point-to-point transport, but only make sense between heavily populated centers, and therefore, you can expect to make back the cost of the rail from this dense usage.
What an ego trip... now I'll definitely stop considering WordPress, even if it perfectly fills the use-case (mine or client's).

I know it was frustrating for Automattic to see WPEngine as a leecher, but to be this hostile and volatile does not inspire confidence. What if you had a WP instance hosted by Automattic and said something the leadership does not approve? Will you get banned with no way of recovering your website? (Ghost had a similar story.)
Your site doesn’t explain your product very well. I know about GTD but I literally haven’t heard of any of the other products listed in the page. The screenshots are tiny and hard to parse on mobile. The descriptions of each feature include many paragraphs of philosophy before getting to what it actually _does_. I suggest “bottom line up front” and a clearer description of the product that better appeals to people who haven’t tried alternatives before.
> If you use WordPress for a living, I recommend strongly that you consider changing platforms.

I initially thought this as well. There are alternatives but unless those alternatives are 100% API compatible with WP plugins and themes nothing is going to happen. Wordpress users and devs will continue to use WP. business as usual. Matt knows this.
The website claims "Privacy First" but there's no end-to-end encryption (Obsidian has it, OmniFocus has it) and not any mention of server-side encryption either.
Great hack!

I do a cold shower before bed.
Often helps.

You can start the shower warm and then slowly reduce the temperature.
I wouldn't call a 7 minutes delay "terrible".
> I am an emacs user insert joke here

In my totally anecdotal experience the intersection between proficient LaTeX users and emacs users is pretty large.

So having good emacs support would be a big selling point.

My experience on the other hand is also those people never complain about LaTeX, so they're probably not the target for a new typesetting system.
In fact, IF's Note module is entirely free, while other modules have limitations. You should understand this first before refuting, instead of assuming it's not free just because there's a price tag.
Some people collaborate better in person, some don't. I work with people (deliberately) who collaborate better via text chat. We sometimes jump on a call with a screen share, but that is rare. I have tried everything over the past 30+ years and find there are some people who just 'need' the office as they thrive there, but mostly I found that people who insist on office hours and say they are more productive are just really not very good at what they do and compensate for that with an external cabaret of 'work' which really doesn't work at home.

By the way, LLMs really helped us here; we chat with a bot reading and extracting everything and storing it conveniently so it won't get lost for later.
"Keep at it!", "Hold the line!" appear to be orders to be doing something right now.
Because the end-to-end encryption feature has not been released yet.
Yeah, morphologically two dimensional, but semantically 1.5: 17 or so tense-aspect-mood combinations make sense, fewer than 25 the underlying morphology would suggest.
Hackerone staffs are not that good. They usually mark anything from a non famous person as a duplicate (even if it differs in nuances, which eventually lead to much more impact) or straight out of scope.

I think it's just laziness. Plus they hire previous famous reporter as the people triaging the reports, those famous people know other famous people first hand, they usually think "hmm, unknown guy, must have ran a script and submitted this"

I have stopped reporting stuff since last 5 years due to the frustration. And it seems the situation is still the same even after so many years.
Seems like Privacy is second then ;)

I’d rate this guy as a drone pro, maybe like you (sig portion of networth invested/day2day ops involvement?)

(The design issues which i referred to was precisly this kind of intertwining with supply demand.. what kind of blasted solar panels is he talking about sota GaAs barely make the cut atm)

so how do you rate my assessment of drone tech up till 3-5 yrs ahead. How foxy was it :)

And I like my PSVita/PSTV, iPhone (using the excellent GameSir G8 controller), and iPad (also great for games.)

Nonetheless, Switch has been incredibly successful and I expect Switch 2 will be a hit as well.
For what it's worth, I loathe this sort of thing (damning by vague questioning): "But, if a composite is full of a measure that’s biased, how accurate is it going to be?"

Well, I don't know, and you haven't told me. Is it a consistent high bias? Low? Variable? How biased? How accurate?

What you're trying to say, without accepting responsibility for actually saying it, is "It's an inaccurate composite because it's based on biased measurements." But you don't know that, or you'd say it without weasel words.
Lately I've just been seeing life and relationships as emotional combat.

Some don't like the framing, but for me it helps me realize so many things, especially that we are all going through so many conflicts at the same time and we always will be.

Maybe it's a combination of the person feeling bored and feeling a bit scared of how forward you are, or scared of getting too close. Or it could be they're super busy with work, that they are thinking of you but are afraid to ask and be rejected, they have a medical issue, or a family member does and they're treading water to stay afloat, etc.

Most likely, a combination of so many conflicting contexts and feelings going on with them and also with you.

I don't know if we can fix all the things, as new conflicts will arise, and yet for me, trying to be aware of those conflicts helps me give myself and the other person more grace.
This is a vast oversimplification. Lots Angles Metro keeps posting month over month increases in ridership despite the perceive danger and unsavory experience.

I'm sure cleaner cars would help at the margins. Speed, convenience, comfortable, and cost all matter.

sometimes it amplifies preexisting issues and forces you to deal with them, at least that's what they did for me
