Tried reading the readme and linked forum, still not quite clear... what is this? I'm guessing a newly-manufactured retro x86 PC, or possibly the firmware for one? Or is this about the hardware itself? Actually looking again I see a kicad directory so probably the hardware itself.

Edit:

Clicking through to https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=93480 gives this line:

> Update 2/7/2024: Github page updated with complete KiCad project (schematics, layout, gerbers).

and clicking from there to https://retrodreams.ca/ to https://retrodreams.ca/products/itx-llama-mainboard yields

> Please note that you will need the Vortex86 SOM and an AGP card to make use of this motherboard, we offer the SOM as a separate purchase for a discounted price and recommend that you include it in your order before checking out.

> Introducing the ITX-Llama, a retro-inspired true x86 motherboard designed for those passionate about late-DOS and early Windows 98 systems. Built using the powerful and versatile Vortex86EX system-on-module (SOM), the ITX-Llama boasts a P6 (Pentium Pro/II/III)-compatible CPU running at 100-500 MHz, with 128 MB of LPDDR3 RAM and an 8 MB ROM. This compact system delivers performance comparable to a Pentium 233, making it ideal for vintage applications and gaming.

So I now believe that this is some form of source code for just the motherboard in a retro-PC system. I don't see any license at all so it might be Source Available and not Open Source, though without any license even that's kinda unclear. Actually there appear to be some binaries in the github repo without source so not even that unless I missed something. Still, the motherboard and system it's part of is neat.

There is no way for a doctor to know from a bullet wound that someone got "sniped". All bullets lodged in the body look the same, whether they just happened to run in the path of fire, or if a a sniper targeted them on purpose.

This just doesn't make any sense.

On one hand, it's trivially correct in that no forensic information can ever tell us anything about the intent of the person who fired the bullet.

But otherwise, what you're saying just doesn't hold up to basic common sense. First, "All bullets lodged in the body" definitely do not look "the same" -- some are fragmented or marked in ways that otherwise show signs of having passed through something besides human flesh (more suggestive of an indirect hit) while others are not (suggesting a direct hit).

The circumstances of the entrance would can also say something about the bullet's approximate velocity when it entered the body, and direction of fire. Finally, the location of the wound is itself very important - a disproportionate number of people with gunshot wounds to the head tends to suggest that, well, that's where whoever was firing at them was aiming at.

Such indications may not be sufficient to determine conclusively that someone was sniped. But they do shift the overall balance of evidence, and require us to weight our probabilties for any such interpretations of what happened accordingly (in the context of other available evidence, of course).

It isn't as if the condition of the bullet and the circumstances of the wound provide no signal at all in this regard, as you're suggesting.
If we're making specific wishes, we should wish that it doesn't happen again but stays fairly private--after all, lots of people still die for need of donor organs, and if lots of organ donors decide they'd rather be safe from naive utilitarian-dilemma doctors, that number will grow.

Ask HN: Best Way to Access Uncensored AI SaaS?
I've been experimenting with AI trying to understand its strengths and weaknesses better.

There are certain lines of prompting that will result in heavily censored responses. They are quite obvious, and one could reasonably argue that it is a good idea to do so, but some of it seems rather arbitrary. It makes me wonder how much censoring is happening in the major AI tools that isn't obvious.

What are the best ways for an individual to get access to uncensored AI SAAS? I'd like to compare an uncensored AI to the majors.

Almost all the AI models come from open research. Yes, open software hasn't caught up because they don't have the billions of research money to implement this models, but that doesn't mean it won't happen at some point.
In Ireland it's normal to have the dead in an open casket in their house prior to the funeral for a few days.

We rarely take more than 3-4 days between the death and burial though.
Dwight Schrute’s family had the best solution: on the day of the funeral, they’d just shoot the corpse in the casket three times with a shotgun at point blank range.

They also got married while standing in their graves. The weddings were a bleak affair, but the funerals were surprisingly romantic.

"For projects that do need unsafe, that unsafe code can be cordoned off into a corner, where it can be made as small as possible, and can be audited. The rest of the code base is just as safe as one with no unsafe at all. This is also very useful!"

Exactly this, and very well put!

I'd just like to add one small but important detail. It's one of the things that is so obvious to one group that they rarely even mention it, but at the same time so obscure to the others that they are completely oblivious to it.

While the unsafe code is cordoned off into a corner its effects are not. A bug in an unsafe block in one part of your program can trigger an outcome in a completely different and safe part of your program, that normally safe Rust should prevent.

To put it more metaphorically, Rust restricts the places where bombs can be placed, it does not limit the blast radius in case a bomb goes off.

This is still huge progress compared to C/C++, where the bombs can and usually are everywhere and trying to write it safely feels a lot like playing minesweeper.

1. You missed the part where I said "we should wish that it doesn't happen again." It's right up there in the first sentence. It's not ok to murder 1 person to save 5.

2. Naive utilitarians may think it's ok, because they don't consider second-order effects. If you do consider second-order effects, then even for a utilitarian it could only be ok if the world was already in a terrible, untrusting state where people would rather die than go to a doctor without an armed escort.
So, so many of the issues discussed in this thread are related to video. I've found that video is almost not really necessary. Unfortunately many people expect it these days, but if you can get some consensus that "we don't need to turn on cameras for this" then I find things go just as smoothly, if not moreso.

It's really a shame that people have made it almost weird to not have cameras on. Admittedly it can be nice to see the other participants in the meeting but I find it's only useful for the first 5 minutes, then it may as well go to audio. Saves on bandwidth too.
"What the application does" may not be what you think of, as it is dependent on how secure the application or the layers beneath it are. This is how people get everything pwned step by step. The database server may then reveal credentials to other apps etc.
Yup, this. I've recently interacted with someone whose board pushed for a company-wide coding assistant rollout, with the explicit goal of reducing development staff, or rather costs. The developers weren't really asking for it, but leadership assumes that they wouldn't, if it could make them redundant.

Seems like getting decisions made at that level can be extremely valuable, and at the same time lets you get away with building something that just seems like a useful product - because the people you're selling to won't use it. And furthermore, they will already go into this assuming resistance from the actual users, so they're unlikely to even listen to their feedback.

Of course it's not a long term strategy, but it seems like a potent short term money maker.

It indicates that they tried to continue the organ retrieval even after learning that the patient is alive.
Many developers do encounter similar problems when using macOS, especially when developing and running tools like Docker. macOS's resource management and performance issues are often frustrating, especially when you need to do a lot of development work.

I'm wondering who would actually be interested in this? It seems so undercooked and full of contradictions.

What is the economic perspective for it? I doubt the idea is that people will commute into SF, as that would clash with the car-less vision. I guess service workers for the city will likely live outside of it, which surely won't create an unharmonic class system. Will all the residents be remote tech workers? Realistically it seems like it would mostly be affordable to really rich people that would only spend part of the time in the city, torpedoing any community from forming.

The size is also half of a Disneyland so really quite small, and from what it reads on the website they effectively are executing on an already zoned spa development on the property?

Exactly this. At my old employer we (the sysadmins/operational DBAs) were pushing for newer, supported versions of Postgres. The push back was always the regression testing cycle, amount of desired change and willingness of the product owner to even engage. The testing cycle was so long that I tried to convince them to test on Postgres beta, because it would well and truly be prod with a few bugfix releases by the time testing was completed (alas, they went with n-1 release of Postgres instead).

As above, you merely wished for it to not come out into the public view. That's what you meant by "didn't happen again". It's exactly what a criminally minded wannabe murderer would say.
That would be intercontinental. Trans is across, inter is within.
For the case of 35mm SLRs, Nikon/Canon/Pentax etc. all have 45mm flange distances, give or take a couple of millimeters. That's basically the minimum to have room to swing the mirror and for a couple of shutter curtains.

So all of them having completely incompatible mounts is because they wanted to compete based on lock-in to a complete system, rather than compete for bodies and lenses separately.

Even worse, the fact that their flange distances are all within a couple of mm makes passive adapters impossible, since just the bayonet part of the mount is longer than that.

In addition to the vibrissae explanation, I also wonder if their eyes (vertical pupils) just see better when it comes to height and not width, necessitating greater hesitation when it comes to judging things at their height and not high in the air. I am thinking they might need to move their head or eyes a bit side to side, though it may still be too fast to be readily apparent to the researcher. Relevant article [1]:

"If you have a vertical slit, you're very likely to be an ambush predator," says Banks. That's the kind of animal who lies in wait and then leaps out to kill. He says these predators need to accurately judge the distance to their prey, and the vertical slit has optical features that make it ideal for that.

But that rule only holds if the animal is short, so its eyes aren't too high off the ground, Sprague says."

Ergo, cats have vertical pupils but tigers have round pupils. The tiger can probably judge horizontal distances better than the cat.
