Most of the things people get dinged for in this kind of report are things that were already fixed in modern TLS.

If you set your clients and servers to TLS 1.3 only (which I consider the modern TLS stack), you only have a handful of ciphers to choose from (AES128-GCM, AES256-GCM, and ChaCha20-Poly1305), which avoids any issues with CBC constructions. Most of your issues are going to be around x.509 certificate processing, because TLS protocol and ciphers are easier to use correctly than in the past, but x.509 hasn't changed significantly.

In offline training of our router, we run extensive cross-domain evaluations to determine when a smaller model can handle a request without any quality loss relative to more powerful models. In an online setting like our chat app, there's probably some more rigorous post-hoc analysis we could do on response quality—could make for a good follow-up post.
Right? Seeing as how 76% of Trump's statements earned ratings of Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire (see link below), why would I assume this statement is true? I seriously doubt Tim Cook ever called Trump, why would he? Trump is a private citizen, a felon, and has zero business acumen. There's absolutely nothing Trump brings to the table at this time that Tim Cook would be interested in.

Canadian. I haven't played Carrom, but it's my understanding it's Indian in origin and plays a bit more like a billiards variant, even going so far as to use tiny pool cues.
Remote workers are clearly a gray area in immigration law. On the one hand if the worker lives abroad and imports products and related support services to the US, that's clearly not a migrant worker.

On the other hand, if a remote worker is a virtual receptionist for a US business, or if the worker controls machinery remotely that operates in the states, they clearly compete with local labour, and bring cybersecurity issues.

As an attorney with power to interpret and shape case law, do you think there is any grounds to require visas for some types of private remote work, given the current laws? Or would this be a matter that needs to go through congress.
We'll never know if prices would be exorbitant under a free market in the US because we've got a nasty mix of corrupt insurance companies, healthcare administrators, and political lobbying (bribery) keeping it from being a free market. Generally we can't even ask the price of a procedure with which to compare providers, and for most insurance, you can't even choose your provider anyways. Does that sound like a free market to you?!?

As the other poster pointed out: Your logic is flawed because your premise is wrong. If the US had state controlled medical, I have no doubt our politicians would figure out some way to ruin that too.
Crokinole is Canadian
There is no such thing as "open source without forking". It's source available.
What’s the goal of your comment? You’re making a straw man argument which in no way relates to my point and ridicules the opinions of people not on this thread. That makes for uninteresting and needlessly divisive conversation.

The HN guidelines rightfully urge us to make substantive comments that advance the discussion and avoid shallow dismissals.

Absolutely. I hoped that the pandemic made everyone realize that laptop mics suck. Even a cheap $20 headset is better than nothing.

Entirely eliminating the feeling of guilt is the first step to beating procrastination.

There is a strong negative feedback cycle where you procrastinate, feel guilty about it, and then procrastinate further because you are subconsciously seeking to escape the guilt through distraction.
No, it's a bad design that doesn't use type composition to restrict invalid representations. People are given type hints, but they still practice the same dynamic typing mistakes as before, including the authors of the lib.

Instead, it should distinguish between persisted entities and value objects:

class Entity(Generic[A]):
pk: int
val: A

class Hero:
name: str
secret_name: str
age: None | int = None

class Service(Generic[A]):
def persist(self, x: A) -> Entity[A]:
pk = self.execute(insert(x))
return Entity(pk, x)

def select(self, *cond) -> Iterable[Entity[A]]:
...

def copy(self, x: Entity[A]) -> Entity[A]:
return self.persist(x.val)

def delete(self, pk_ent: int | Entity[A]) -> A:
...

It should be obvious how the same model extends to different PK types too: serial ints, UUIDs, etc.
It's interesting that the 2 main laziness examples are socmedia or have algo-like aspects (YouTube, Twitter). For those, I've found that reading books about the pull and psychology of socmedia & algorithms have been a lot more effective at getting me to stop using them. With them gone, it's a lot easier to fill that empty space with good habits.
Many Russian citizens who have moved out of Russia are currently being denied B1/B2 visas, regardless of their prior history or any proof of ties to their current country of residence. The rejection rate is around 60%, and I am among those affected under 214(b), despite having held five B1/B2 visas before, with no visa overstays or other issues.

I don't plan to move to the US, but my startup operates in the US market, and it would be beneficial if I could meet customers and investors in person.

I plan to apply again next spring (a year after the denial), and if I’m unsuccessful, I’m considering applying for an O1 visa to be able to visit the US, although I have no intention of staying long-term. Do you think this is a good idea? I’m concerned that after the O1 visa expires, my only option to return might be to apply for another work visa or O1 visa.
> In non-competitive, less plamigerent settings, their skills really shine

“Plamigerent” isn’t a word, and I can’t find any English words similar to it. It seems an unlikely typo. I wonder if the author included it to catch LLMs plagiarizing his work.
You don't need to read all of them, just all within a certain discoverability threshold not sharing the same archetypes. At that point, the rate of encountering high quality works which are not stale will fall to almost nothing.
I discovered TwoSet during the pandemic lockdowns and have enjoyed both their content and seeing them grow as people. It’s sad to see their YouTube channel coming to an end, but I think it has the potential to be a good move. One of their great qualities is that they seem to genuinely care about classical music as an art form, and even though they used their share of memes and gimmicks (the “feud” with Davie504, e.g.), I always thought they possessed a certain artistic integrity that’s fundamentally not a great fit with YT’s algorithmic gods. I know they’ve had taken some breaks in the past for mental health, which is smart. I hope this move is part of a pivot to a more sustainable and artistically satisfying venture.
Show HN: Zerox v1 – Document OCR with GPT-vision
Hey everyone! Today we're launching the stable release of Zerox, our open source OCR tool we've been building at OmniAi.

This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost.

In particular, we've seen the vision models do a great job on charts, infographics, and handwritten text. Documents are a visual format after all, so a vision model makes sense!

I posted the first experiments on HN, and since then, we've had some great contributors who have helped turn this into a full package. We have two versions now:

- pip package [https://pypi.org/project/py-zerox/]
- npm package [https://www.npmjs.com/package/zerox]

Next steps for us are working on building an open source dataset for fine tuning. We've seen some early success with a charts=>markdown fine tuning data set, and excited to keep building.

Github: https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox

You can try out a hosted version here: https://getomni.ai/ocr-demo
I worked as an FDE for govt deployments. I am writing this as a warning to others. I got drugged without consent, _twice_, while working for Palantir. Palantir sells software to demons, so take my warning as you will. The first time was minor, but the second time was major, and I'm still hurt from it.
Comparable to the USSR? That tells me you have no idea of what life was like in the USSR. There is no way they are remotely comparable. I lived in the US during COVID and I also lived in the USSR and later Russia so I know of what I speak.
MacBook mics are more than acceptable.

(1) Those eye-poppingly low prices you see for solar energy are for large scale solar farms, not home PV, but

(2) One day California is going to wake up and realize endangered species live in place where people want to build solar farms.
At least better than buy pager from Israel.
More like shuffleboard. It's great for children (I grew up playing it), and is fun for children and adults to play together.
if anything this is a very promising benchmark for the new tech,. we're getting close.

so what this means if NPUs are anywhere close to CPUs in the benchmarks is that NPUs are going to blow past CPUs very soon, because CPUs dont have much more weight to shed whereas NPUs are just getting started.
There are actually multiple open source ML models for 2d to 3d which is clearly what they are doing. The difference with most of them is that this is vectors.

There might actually be a similar open source model already.

But I think to create it you would build it from a database of 3d assets that you could render from many angles. Probably quite similar to the way the 2d to 3d works. I don't know maybe the typical 2d to 3d models will work out of the box or with some kind of smoothing or parameterization. Maybe if you have a large database of parameterized 3d models then you combine that with rendering in 2d from different angles then you can basically use the existing 2d to 3d model.

Why believe his claim?
It comes from the Jacobian which you can get from auto diff. It measures how much distortion the function created and normalizes it so that you can integrate correctly without blowing up gradients
"Zoom fatigue" seems like a small price to pay for the ability to work remotely.
It's easier to read people with video. If you don't know someone that well, you can't pick up as many cues with just voice.
Yes, it's why I don't share knowledge of it. There are less than 300 people actively playing this game (maybe fewer) so any impact of something like a RCE running wild is relatively small.
Are you suggesting that this then makes it ok to bomb the family home, killing women, children, unknowing neighbours, and the hostage together? And that it's entirely the kidnapper's fault when this happens?

If so, I certainly wouldn't want to meet the gods that approve of such a thing, if any existed.

Just let the platforms show their ad's. That is how I quit. See and ad then close the tab. Went from hours on YouTube to minutes.
Well, when is so big bad company going to bully us into using their tools to convert 3D sculpts into flawlessly animatable models? I'll submit to their abuse and surrender my lunch money to them. Though not if it is Adobe, I still have some self-love.
Those who are in YC and who previously were in YC almost always can get work authorization, whether it's an O-1, E-2, H-1B, or country-specific visa. Relatively speaking, the harder cases are those involving those who don't have at least a bachelor's degree. While lots of experience sometimes can fix this, not always, which means that an O-1 visa is usually the only option. Regarding the impact of a change in administration, I just touched on this in response to another question/comment.
The big issue with this - how would we ever get anything useful back?

A 1 ton payload is probably not enough to even stick a sufficiently powerful laser on to see at all over those distances.
One idea to replace the H1-B lottery that I've seen on HN is to sort the applications by salary and let in the top XX highest paid.

Do you have any thoughts on that? Is this one of those "why don't they just..." type of ideas that people with first hand knowledge know is majorly flawed?
You're not wrong. Notice how I mentioned my favourite model "sucks less" than the other one. What ever company sells an e-ink smartphone with a fantastic camera and up-to-date Android will get my money for ever.
After building my own.. not much ;) big enough to be annoying to store (doesn't quite fit under the couch or in many tiny closets. A lot of them have hardware sunk into the bottom/back of the board for wall hanging.

But yes, super fun. See the youtube video I posted elsewhere in the thread for a pretty great 'review' of this game which dates back to at least 1867.
Surely there is a way to present some piece of buggy code to a candidate and ask what’s wrong with it (letting them use whatever tools they want, doing this on a whiteboard is senseless), let them determine what the bug is and see how they fix it. Obviously there are constraints that make the code in question difficult to construct (needs to be simple and small enough to fit in an interview without the candidate having ever seen the code before, but not too simple to make it a non-differentiating question; the bug has to have multiple levels to it where there’s an obvious fix and possibly several better but less obvious ways to fix the issue, etc)
Reads like a fluff piece for RTO.
Work relationships are very transactional and often self-serving, and you use the methods that get the best results.

I'm in consulting and the guys who are willing to be on camera have way more success with their clients than the guys who aren't. I learned to 'do conference calls' when I was younger and playing WoW with my guildies so I scoffed at it, but seeing really is believing. You are more likely to land a sale, get fewer objections to your project roadmap, your clients are more engaged with what you say... just everything is slightly better.
>"The cognitive load of online meetings eats up your capacity to think. Working from home merges a life of previously demarcated areas into one amorphous mass. "

Cut the fucking crap. I've been conducting all my business from home since 2000 - one person software development company. I spend way less time on Zoom meetings comparatively to when I was employee and in the office. Actually I do not use Zoom. Skype, sometimes Telegram work just fine for me. Normally I do not use video feed either.

>"Because video meetings, email, and texting feel qualitatively different from face-to-face talk, we weigh them as less meaningful."

Missing income from downtown real estate?

Anyways I do not need to spend 3 hours in commute, smell other's armpits and cooking to be productive.
Marshall McLuhan was the most famous and influential intellectuals of the second half of the 20th century, and the one whose ideas are probably the most obviously relevant to Facebook. He’s not some sort of obscure figure at all. I’m sorry if he wasn’t your cup of tea and it’s totally possible that Facebook execs weren’t understanding and applying his ideas correctly but frankly I would be a lot more worried about the company if the top leadership wasn’t reading McLuhan.
I quite like Swift
It’s huge for a region without any other tech employment.
That is the thing, people keep treating it as a portable macro assembler, when it stopped being so decades ago, and those folks haven't yet got the memo.
It's not a nuanced political situation people need to spend time teasing apart, it's just bloodthirst being perpetuated generationally. There's no subtext to this conflict that won't sound absolutely insane to an outsider.
Online reviews = trillion $ industry, but it still sucks...
You can still enable remote work while putting guard rails around the need for video conferencing due to the cognitive load and emotional drain it clearly causes.
Your mention of novels and emotion is a false equivalence because novels are richly authored, edited and long form.

We have an entire generation of people who grew up on short form text as their primary way to communicate electronically. In many cases they won’t even bother to read even a couple of paragraphs.

In a work setting, all the shorthand slang and emoji/meme based communication is unprofessional and in my experience many people actively remove emotion from their slack messages. We strive to be neutral and objective because slack messages are monitored and forever.

As much as I hate to say it, I am not completely opposed to some form of limited RTO because Zoom and Slack simply are not enough to get context in many environments, even if you are added to every thread and meeting.
banning by public IP is a rookie mistake. ISP will change their IP automatically over time, they charge extra for static IP. So what youre actually doing is banning anyone who ever receives that IP in the future.
> When it comes to low-level, security sensitive software like this, I actually do value the software being written in a relatively safe language.

When it comes to low-level, security sensitive software like this, I actually do value the software being tested extensively. Bugs are bugs even if they are written in C, Rust, Ada, Elixir, Lisp or whatever language you like.
Who in the region is hiring? Asking for 1300 friends.
I’ll argue that foundation models will be a dime a dozen and will struggle to capture value. They’re also the place where the costs concentrate.

I couldn't find a way to force the table of contents drawer out from the right side of the screen when the screen is too narrow to show it by default, but otherwise it looks pretty good to me?

And it is important, isn't it? Not everyone has a second monitor attached all the time, sometimes you do want to look things up on your phone.
GitHub, naturally.
For those frustrated with the game not working, it looks like that the canvas rendering the disc can block the "Place disc" button, depending on your initial window size. To fix this, use your browser's device simulator (Ctrl+Shift+I -> Ctrl+Shift+M on Chrome, Ctrl+Shift+M on Firefox) to narrow the window's width, then refresh the page.

I feel like hollowing out the middle is another way of saying something had fallen out of the mainstream/popularity. So, I certainly agree.
Why did you decide to work with this rather than with people who might need your skills more, or do you do that too?

Different game, but Carrom is supposed to be great as well. I haven't played it but many of the folks I follow on BGG prefer it to Crokinole.

I’ve known a few people capable of this too. No bird specific machinery there just insomnia and some skill I guess.
Right, so then the most optimal outcome is always buying food even if you don't need it, and perhaps even throwing the food away immediately. If your total comes out 22.00, then go ahead and buy 6 ranch dips and bring it up to 25.00.

Now, it's not stealing. Does this outcome feel more morally correct to you? I think, if you answer "no", then your logic on how this stealing works is faulty.

It's funny to me when people apologize for not being artists when they've produced actually nice looking art. It's like a host saying "excuse the mess" when entering their nearly immaculate home.

It's an assumption, but groceries are food and I'm assuming the person just threw in toothpaste as well. And, apparently, that one dollar worth of toothpaste was too far.
It's interesting to look at the pandemic before Covid (in the West), which was the Hong-Kong flu of 1968-1970, with 1-4M deaths worldwide and 0.1 M in the USA.

It was mostly ignored, worse, its impact was minimized by upper class journals, all the while hospitals were running out of space.

(So comparisons with Covid are hard to make, since the response was so different.)

The medical sector paid attention after the fact though, and supposedly the reaction to it basically created the (postmodern?) discipline of epidemiology !
Take the effort you’re putting into trying to look edgy on the internet and instead channel it into reading and understanding what I actually wrote.

This seems like a great social game. I like how it's very tactile yet looks like it could be taught, or learned, in a few short minutes.
I know it's not exactly the point, but would you mind sharing what specific mic and headphones you went with for this? It can help to get a sense of what to look for to create a similar setup.
I work for a government contractor that does quite a number of things for a diverse set of agencies. You would be amazed at the mental gymnastics people go through to convince themselves you are some sort of child-eating monster. 80% of the time they have absolutely no idea what my company does nor what working for the military is actually like.

“Where do you work?”

“Oh at $COMPANY.”

“I hear they work in missile defense technology, you should be ashamed. Gaza Israel blah blah blah”

“Oh, well sorry you feel that way.”

“So how many innocent children you bombed this week?”

“Actually zero, I spent the week writing Ansible and bash scripts. Then I went to a presentation about a team trying to stop $COUNTRY from hacking into the electric grid and shutting down power to hospitals. Then I read a report about improving 911 tech backends and other emergency services. Then I had lunch with my friend, who works in forensics catching sex traffickers, and he told me some crazy stories.”

“Wow I didn’t know you guys did all that stuff at $COMPANY…”

Actually every example in the documentation should be backed by a unit test, as in the example is transcluded from the unit test into the docs. Since you often want to show examples that don’t compile in docs you also should be able to write tests for compile errors.
