I don’t think it’s reckless to have e.g. Haskell or OCaml as your go-to language for a decade, and switch it out with Rust.

Are there any publications out there analyzing this more in depth? How are these datasets scheduled? Do you have your highest quality data first, or do you actually train using "dumb" data first until you establish some general language understanding before giving the high quality information? There is a lot of interesting research to do here that I'm sure people have already investigated....
From the article -

Silvano Trotta shrugs it off when I point out that this was entirely false.

OK. So another low effort comment on a serious subthread.
> There are long lasting bridges made of stone, concrete and in the right climates, even wood. Not to mention rope when it suits the purpose.

I'd be fine with someone building a new browser out of stone, concrete, wood, or even rope.

Just don't build it out of C/C++ because those languages aren't memory safe.
I'm not sure I see the big deal. Justification is on a scale of 0 to 1, and at 1 you are onmiscient. We live in a complicated world; no one has time to be God so you just accept your 0.5 JTB and move on.

Or for the belief part, well, "it's not a lie if you believe it".

And as for the true bit, let's assume that there really is a cow, but before you can call someone over to verify your JTB, an alien abducts the cow and leaves a crop circle. Now all anyone sees is a paper-mache cow so you appear the fool but did have a true JTB - Schroedinger's JTB. Does it really matter unless you can convince others of that? On the flip side, even if the knowledge is wrong, if everyone agrees it is true, does it even matter?

JTB only exist to highlight bad assumptions, like being on the wrong side of a branch predictor. If you have a 0.9 JTB but get the right answer 0.1 times and don't update you assumptions, then you have a problem. One statue in a field? Not a big deal! *

Yes, but other than for aesthetic reasons, concrete and masonry is also very low maintenance.
The negative aspect is that insulation is more expensive and leads to even thicker walls. But the thing basically lasts forever after it is built.

Hate to admit this but reading the comments will give a person way more knowledge than any given submission and if the comments are good the article is required reading before adding your own comment. Not sure ChatGPT is worth the effort here. By the time you cut and paste then read the gibberish one could have already read the top few comments (you can use the minus to minimize them and read the next thread). Like the time spent leaving this comment would be better used any where else, but yet here it is (all 300 seconds or if you like 300,000 ms)
What you find fun or unfun need not match other people's preferences. You can tell us what's fun or unfun for you, but you can't tell other people they're having fun wrong.

How's the battery life after so many years?

I recently found my old e-reader (Kindle Keyboard) from 2011 and the first thing I had to do was swap a new battery in, the old one would not hold a charge for too long.
I'm not sure what the relevant moral is here. It seems to be "don't misuse functional programming"?

Eloquent primer on "cogent argument" which is totally not "rambling stream of anger and emotion". Perfect basis for a healthy, respectful debate.

When I click share in Jitsi (or whatever) on KDE 6.1 w/ Wayland in Chromium, I get offered to share the 'Entire Screen". After that dialog another one pops up with the options 'Full Workspace', 'New Virtual Output', 'Rectangular Region' and a list of my displays. 'Rectangular Region' allows to share a selected part of the screen, 'New Virtual Output' instantly creates a virtual screen, visible in KDE 'Display Configuration' that may or may not be positioned on top of pre-existing physical displays.
One comment about the source (chess.com): it has a conflict of interest in this topic and has a clear bias in what it does and doesn't say. They omit that the cheater in question is a prominent member of their own chess platform, who has been scoring first-place in high-profile sitewide tournaments [0]. IMO the most interesting question here, which this source would prefer to elide over, is whether or not this over-the-board (meatspace) cheater has also been cheating for profit on the internet platforms—something that's technically much easier to do than in a professional, arbitrated tournament setting.

This is sort of an existential question for their business. Chess.com currently operates one of the two major online chess platforms. Their top public-image controversy, going back years, is whether or not their anti-computer cheating methods are effective and accurate. (This question has even made it into the Wall Street Journal [1]). Their system is a "security by obscurity" type, which both relies on cheaters not knowing how it works, and asks paying customers to trust the company's claims, without evidence, that their competitive platform is fair and fundamentally sound.

I think this revelation is going to (rightly) enflame that debate—though you won't read much about it on chess.com's own blog.

Because Servo is run by others with a different agenda that came from a billion dollar company that gets hundreds of millions from a trillion dollar company and they decided to dropped it. The political effort to get to a place where you can shape the project is a huge mountain to climb and unlikely.

Starting your own project you can set the agenda and pace and truly create your vision.

The people who want to do the first idea are very different from the group that want to do the second.

How to Listen Like Momo
If I send the same audio over 2 or more parallel radio channels, that’s essentially the same as taking multiple shots of the same subject. Substitute a pixel with an audio sample. The transmission noise being uncorrelated between channels will average out.

Fox hunting, horse riding, polo and skiing... yes. Conkers, No.
You can. There are custom kernel builds that do this, as well as shim loaders that do that madvise call. However, those are considerably less practical than the recent systemd feature that allows you to do it per unit. If applied to the system scope, it effectively covers the whole system. However, there are caveats:

1. You need a much better newer systemd than your distro likely packages.

2. KSM dedupe scans aren't free. Your system can spend its time doing that scan or it can spend its doing work with duplicate pages. Only relatively idle or highly homogenous systems would be free of the penalty.

3. For applications, especially statically linked ones, the duplicated code is not super likely to fall along page boundaries, thus the actual detectable duplication will be relatively low.

That said, it's still great for densely deploying a high traffic microservice that's more memory than CPU bound.
I'm biased because I work at a full-stack quantum computing company (we produce chips and software), but I agree.

Quantum software-only companies are sometimes... strange. Most QC hardware purchases today are made by either purely research institutions (universities, labs, etc.) or research departments of commercial entities. Either way, there are usually public tender descriptions or private lists of requirements.

When you look at public tenders, you will often find seemingly arbitrary software integration requirements like "the QC must support quantum circuit compilation with ABC", where 'ABC' is some product of some quantum software company you never heard of. Then you go research that library, and if you're lucky it's open source, so you dive into their code and realize it's another attempt at building a "universal" standard for some layer of the QC stack, based on some research paper out of some university. The developers of that library would often claim that, despite them having no QC hardware of their own, they can build better software for arbitrary QCs. It's strange and unlikely to be true simply because there is no such thing as standard or even common quantum hardware. There is rarely interoperability between architectures (and I'm only talking about superconducting quantum computers, not other kinds).

And then you have to either comply and tackle a huge integration project, or convince the buyer that the software you have written for your own hardware is actually better suited for your hardware than software written by people who never seen your hardware.

#1 does feel a bit much but I don't mind getting a kick out of titles/situations which could be interpreted immaturely.
We’re not talking about signals with different SNRs. Where did you get the assumption from?
We need better electroactive polymers.
Wherever there is a chestnut tree you'll get conkers. I would imagine it's more of a town/village vs city thing rather than class thing.
Debugging on embedded is not THAT hard, if it's just program logic (as opposed to things like interrupts or DMA). Just use gdb on the programmer like you normally would...

Yes, absolutely. You just don't see how it looks from the outside, so it all appears normal to you. It absolutely isn't normal and makes you look unhinged.
Cell-Based Architecture Enhances Modern Distributed Systems
No I'm not confusing anything with anything else. You've just gotten offended over something -- probably the word "wrong" in my original post, which made you then decide to take it over literally.

I think people will get 90% of the way to lowest BP reading simply by being still and silent for 10 mins. I doubt the lying down part is that important. I just originally didn't know that. I'd be doing something active (or just worked out), then decide to take BP and get a high reading. I think you probably assumed every word of my initial post was meant to be an absolute thing, rather than a general idea of the necessity to be relaxed not only during the reading but for several minutes before.

Anyone can look that up and find out I'm right.
It does hold, it is just weaker. You can improve the SNR of a better signal by adding another signal with worse SNR to it. But you need to normalize the signals the way their noise floors are the same amplitude before addition.
This guy is 2656 and the world number 69. You might think, meh, so what who's heard of the world number 69 at, say, tennis. But if you are a serious chess player you understand that is an astronomically high level that is completely out of reach for 99.9% of people even if you love the game and devote many years of effort to it. (No doubt the same sentiment would occur to a serious tennis player in the tennis analogy).

I have two points really A) As a chess player and a programmer, I think many a programmer fancies themselves as being a rock star performer but if there was an equivalent of Elo ratings for programmers it would likely be a very sobering experience for almost everybody [I think I am a highly skilled programmer, but my chess rating is 1867].

And B) It is consequently a real personal tragedy for this guy that he has foolishly flushed his career and reputation at age 22. What a waste.
edit: Then there's the whole "what is a cow" thing. Like if you you stuffed a cow carcass with a robot and no one could tell the difference, would that still be a cow? Or what if you came across a horrifying cow-horse hybrid, what would you call that? Or if the cow in question had a unique mutation possessed by no other cow - does it still fit the cow archetype? For example, what if the cow couldn't produce milk? Or was created in lab? Which features are required to inherit cow-ness? This is an ambiguity covered by language, too. For example, "cow" is a pejorative not necessarily referring to a bovine animal.

edit: And also the whole "is knowledge finite or infinite?". Is there ever a point at which we can explain everything, science ends and we can rest on our laurels? What then? Will we spend our time explaining hypotheticals that don't exist? Pure theoretical math? Or can that end too?
Zig is nice, but subjectively I find some of the syntax is a bit weird, like ?'s !'s and the various array notations. I guess it just takes some time to get used to.
Server side rendering:

> One technique we use to tune the experience quickly was to make iteration in the product itself very easy. We did this using server driven UI. In a traditional client-server model, the client is responsible for everything about how the data is laid out on-screen. The server is just middleware pulling data out from stores. What we did was for the core interfaces which showed a list of posts, we instead sent down a full view model, which told the client exactly how to render it.

> This meant that when we were experimenting on the call to action and the reply bar, or when and how we show different reply face files, we could do that with just a code change on the server, which only takes a couple of hours to roll out and takes effect on all platforms.

> This let us iterate on the core Threading UI very quickly in the early days.
Seems more like a novelty item than something to be used in an actual office.

Would love to code/configure it with a middle finger emoji if I am in a call :)
It’s close but still has issues
Are you being sarcastic or a jerk?
No issues? At least 50 deleted reviews spoke for themselves!

Yeah, you didn’t produce any “technical” issues other than now maintaining a plugin that isn’t yours to start with, gathering thousands of positive reviews that aren’t yours, and selling it as a security fix which you didn’t fix.

I don’t understand how you can even show your face in public.
You and your fellow matticians are a shame to the entire open source community.
Which of those are you imagining doesn't have horse chestnut trees? (Conkers come from those, not plain chestnut trees)

I'm sure there are parts of the country where they're less common, but there's huge numbers of conkers falling off trees in big British cities (even if the majority will be in parks) as well as in the countryside. We played with them at my pre-teen city centre school for sure, and the trees are a common sight on roads and in gardens as well as public parks.

edit: the Woodland trust actually says "Though rarely found in woodland, it is a common sight in parks, gardens, streets and on village greens."
I would assume you got downvoted because you feel for a particularly implausible myth.

Ask HN: How do you add guard rails in LLM response without breaking streaming?
Hi all,
I am trying to build a simple LLM bot and want to add guard rails so that the LLM responses are constrained.
I tried adjusting system prompt but the response does not always honour the instructions from prompt.
I can manually add validation on the response but then it breaks streaming and hence is visibly slower in response.
How are people handling this situation?

@mathix maybe you can make it clear on the website that this doesn't create app/play store apps, as most people probably think about them when they read "turn any website into an app".

There's the general risk of enshittification that is almost guaranteed to occur.

There's specific risks based on your software or you. If your somehow prone to tripping their alarms then you will always be a hot target for bans especially automated and AI-driven bans. If someone is taking action to prevent your software spreading then the platforms will probably side with them unless you win some legal action or settlement.

ElasticTok: Adaptive Tokenization for Image and Video
I wouldn't recommend it, I've seen it abused as a database a few times and it was never good. It really is barebones and mostly for content and the UI/features show that.

You're better of using anything else, if you want a UI ontop maybe a tool like Pocketbase is better suited or you go the route of using an actual e-commerce tool like Saleor or Medusa.

Both are good, definitely better than homebrewing your database and that is >>> any open source CMS (I've tried a few dozen since I am building a CMS myself)
Once you get into those larger vehicles, vehicle weight doesn't matter so much (for regulations and for road wear). What matters is axle weight, which stays fairly consistent as you increase overall vehicle weight. eg for delivering bulk construction materials, dump trucks have either one, two, or three load axles (along with the steering axle, which is calculated separately), and the load it can carry scales pretty closely with that (gross around 10t per axle (22k lbs), net around 7t per load axle). Anything over the standard limit pays significant fees for a permit (at least where I am)

> Depending on how you balance/weigh personal harm to Hans Niemann vs. How FIDE’s response benefited championship-level players.

It’s certainly a good thing that security is being taken more seriously now. And I have zero sympathy for Hans. He chose to destroy his credibility by cheating online and, regardless of whether he also cheated over the board or not, has only himself to blame for the fact that people don’t trust him now.

Given how easy it is to cheat in chess, reputation and trust are really all you have, and if you decide to squander them, well, that’s on you.
