skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Could you clarify: which part seems to be working? The SKS servers certainly aren't, and the keyservers that are currently online don't appear to gossip or share keys with each other. That's why the post's dataset comes from querying the biggest/most popular ones manually.

> Was uploading a key somewhere a requirement for submitting to PyPi?

Where would "somewhere" be? If it was PyPI itself (or a server controlled by PyPI), replacing the key material would be trivial and would largely defeat the purpose of having signatures instead of just hashes.

In the past, "somewhere" could have been a gossiping SKS server. But that would tie PyPI's reliability and availability to that of the SKS network, which was never great even at its prime.

> Why were the keys not available from PyPi?

For the reason mentioned above: if PyPI is trusted to distribute the key material, then an attacker can simply replace the keys used to sign for the package. This makes it no better than having PyPI distribute hashes (which it already does), but a lot more complicated.

To my understanding, the reason PyPI originally accepted PGP keys is because someone asked for it and baseline expectations around security were more laissez-faire at the time: there was no baseline expectation that millions of people might be using `pip` (or `easy_install` at the time), and that all of them deserve the same integrity and authenticity properties as a small core of expert users. Those expectations have shifted over time towards the belief that ordinary users should also have signatures accessible to them, and I'm inclined to believe that's a good thing.
This is some weird 'Gangs of New York' wanna be BS. I'm sorry but we have been welcoming people throughout the entirety of our existence, it is part of the American project, and it is a part of our strength, not our weakness nor downfall.

My family were the ones told 'no Irish need apply' and now you want me to tell someone else's family off and that they aren't wanted? My family fled eastern europe for their lives but you want me to tell someone else my fear of a threat to my income is more valuable than them? Nah bro, I'm good. Don't claim to be a defender of me/America/Americans. Your type didn't want my family here either back in the day but the USA thrived even with our/my existence. Being American isn't in your blood, it's in who you chose to be. Alway had been/always will be. And Americans don't choose fear over welcoming.

I'd give every new American a huge welcome hug if I could because they are us and are family. They are your parents/grandparents/great grandparents/etc. Sad that you have forgotten that or chosen to forget because you are scared too 'share'.

Everyone reading this, I'm glad you want to come be part of this great experiment. I hope you chose to stay, it's a pretty cool place with pretty cool people.
Serif's Affinity Designer was consciously modeled on Freehand, and Quasado became GraviT which likewise was inspired by Freehand.
> On the other hand, if computing settled on a three-valued logic (e.g. 0/1/«something» where «something» has been proposed as -1, «undefined»/«unknown/undecided» or a «shade of grey»), we would have had 9 bit bytes (a power of three).

Is this true? 4 ternary bits give you really convenient base 12 which has a lot of desirable properties for things like multiplication and fixed point. Though I have no idea what ternary building blocks would look like so it’s hard to visualize potential hardware.
Huh... whatever helps you people sleep at night. You just make it easy to spot that you are sexists and avoid you
There are also very relevant cultural differences between the French and Americans. It is not just the food on the shelves, or price, but healthy attitudes and behavior around eating and life in general.

The average American is 50% richer than the average French, and have access to everything they need to eat like one if they choose.

In fact, much of the difference is the French choosing not to eat - both in terms of frequency and quantity.

Healthy food attitudes can absolutely be learned and taught. If you see a 200lb 10 year old, the difference between them and their classmates isn't the contents of the supermarket. Its what is going on at home, the actions of their parents, and what they are learning.

I say this not to blame or pass judgement, but to demonstrate that induvial behavior and actions matter.
Yeah, this is something Java got right as well. It got "unsigned" wrong, but it got standardizing primitive bits correct

byte = 8 bits

short = 16

int = 32

long = 64

float = 32 bit IEEE

double = 64 bit IEEE

You’re in good company — the most influential AI academic of all time, the cooky grandfather of AI who picked up right where (when!) Turing left off, the man hated by both camps yet somehow in charge of them, agrees with you. I’m talking about Marvin Minsky, of course. See: Logical vs. Analogical (Minsky, 1991) https://ojs.aaai.org/aimagazine/index.php/aimagazine/article...

…the limitations of current machine intelligence largely stem from seeking unified theories or trying to repair the deficiencies of theoretically neat but conceptually impoverished ideological positions.
Our purely numeric connectionist networks are inherently deficient in abilities to reason well; our purely symbolic logical systems are inherently deficient in abilities to represent the all-important heuristic connections between things—the uncertain, approximate, and analogical links that we need for making new hypotheses. The versatility that we need can be found only in larger-scale architectures that can exploit and manage the advantages of several types of representations at the same time.
Then, each can be used to overcome the deficiencies of the others. To accomplish this task, each formally neat type of knowledge representation or inference must be complemented with some scruffier kind of machinery that can embody the heuristic connections between the knowledge itself and what we hope to do with it.

He phrases it backwards here in comparison to what you’re talking about (probably because no one in their right mind would have predicted the feasibility of LLMs), but I think the parallel argument should be clear. Talking about “human reasoning” like Simon & Newell or LeCun & Hinton do in terms of one single paradigm is like talking about “human neurons”. There’s tons of different neuronal architectures at play in our brains, and only through the ad-hoc minimally-centralized combination of all of them do we find success.

Personally, I’m a big booster of the term Unified Artificial Intelligence (UAI) for this paradigm; isn’t it fetch? ;)
It can be a bit fussy, but works well --- unfortunately, there hasn't really been a vector drawing program focused specifically on stylus use since Futurewave Smartsketch (which became Flash by way of Futuresplash Animator).

Maybe you can observe it over a long time, and you'll note that the data repeats every N hours. That must be the rotation time, and then you can find the corresponding "pixel" for each rotation and work with that data.

Sounds like several near impossible problems on top of each other though.

Here's a statement from the co-author of Winamp, Justin Frankel:

> If I did have any desire, it would be extinguished by the license terms, lol. The terms are completely absurd in the way they are written, e.g. "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." So arguably making any changes would be considered "creating a forked version." But even taking these terms as they are likely intended (which is slightly more permissive than how they are written), they are terrible. No thank you.

https://www.askjf.com/index.php?q=7357s

And here's a statement from one of the recent maintainers of Winamp:

> I worked at Winamp till this February. I was the one that suggested the we'd open-source all the player code that belonged to us (so stripping all the Dolby, Intel IPP, etc stuff that wasn't owned by Winamp), so that the community was free to do whatever it wanted with it. I envisioned something à la DOOM GPL release. Amongst ourselves we joked about seeing enthusiasts create a Winamp-for-your-smart-fridge or Linux port. That would have been pretty cool. Instead that proposal was repeatedly ignored by management which couldn't be convinced that this decades-old spaghetti code had nothing more than historical value. "Why would we give our IP away ?! We paid for that". As if VLC, Foobar2000, etc didn't exist ...

But sure. All the pushback is totally from "entitled shutins". Definitely people who have never even used Winamp and just want to manufacture outrage. Uh huh.
45 seems like a lot, honestly. I think we did 20 at first. The ketones blood test kit is a must have. You have to know if you're actually in ketosis. People can do it at different carb amounts.

Societal pressures can be challenging but it's really not that bad. We ate out quite a bit because of birthdays and such. If you're at a nice restaurant, get a steak and a low-carb vegetable. At Ruth's Chris we did Tomahawk steak with mushrooms. Drink club soda with lime or lemon. Chipotle is a good meal. Chicken steak, guac, cheese, salsa (check their site)

Wingstop was also goto for us. They have quite a few sauces that have no carbs. Eating out is planning. Check the menu; if it's not a chain, you might have to call. We did that a few times. Ask if they put sugar in certain things. Burger with bacon and cheese no bun is also an option. You have to be careful with chicken dishes because they might put a sauce on it.

Remember, it's low-carb, not no-carb, so if you accidentally eat a few pieces of bacon with sugar in it, it's not the end of the world. It's probably not going to be enough to kick you out.

This is Bridge leveraging failed talks for future funding rounds or in hopes of finding another faster buyer. Stripe has been making a plethora of acquisitions recently, but have kept all of them quiet and mostly directed towards tiny teams that were covering blind spots for Stripe.

I just don't see how any of that aligns with Bridge, not when Stripe has already been implementing crypto related features and is well positioned to offer everything Bridge does without the $1B purchase cost for a company that can only get valuation at 200m.
Ah ok that explains a lot. I use a lot of privacy protection when I use any Google features (like running them in a separate Firefox container so it can't see other web activity). So I'm used to specifying that already.

I built something like this. It works as long as you're not too high-rated: chessmate.ai. Once players get higher rated it is more difficult to predict their moves because you need to model their search process, not just their intuitive move choice. It's also possible to train on one player's games only so that it is more personalized.

It uses a similar approach to Maia but with a different neural network, so it had a bit better move matching performance. And on top of that it has an expectation maximization algorithm so that the bot will try to exploit your mistakes.
I have never had a bad experience with expenses! That's part of what stands out so strongly about this incident. In a culture of blameless postmortems--where an operator can screw up a command causing millions of dollars of damage and the question is "how did this process fail", not "who should we pin it on"--to see my employer suddenly fire a bunch of people for something their process should have detected and corrected would be shocking. It would make me question their motives. I would probably conclude they're looking for even the smallest excuse to fire literally anyone they can get their claws into.

We've had broadly the same experience but drawn very different conclusions here. This is very interesting and I'll definitely think long and hard about it.

EDIT: I have had (accidentally) improperly reported expenses rejected before. That's normal procedure. It would be quite shocking if my employer instead just fired me... Albeit given U.S. employment law it would not be surprising

1-2-5-10 vs 1-2-4-8-16. Looks like 16 and 12 (1-2-4-6-12) are better than 10. What are you even trying to say?
Yeah, but I think this misses the point a bit. The fact that your true edge isn’t knowable wouldn’t be so bad except that if you’re betting full-Kelly and overestimate your edge even a little bit, your probability of ruin in the long run goes to 1. Whereas if you underbet, you’ll compound wealth at a little lower rate but won’t risk ruin.

Sorry, but I am skeptical of your argument that Japanese companies are any less cooperative or more avaricious than companies from other countries.

I am aware of several examples that directly contradict your argument:

- Really, JIS anything.

- MSX computers.

- FourThirds/MicroFourThirds.

I'm surprised at how readable Prolog is.

I've played with and seriously used many languages in my career. My experience is that pure functional (done Elm style) is productive and scales well to a larger team. Dynamic stuff like Ruby/Javascript always has more bugs than you think, even with "full" test coverage. I'm not smart enough to make sense of my own Scheme meta-programming when I revisit it months later. I have loads (but dated) experience with Java and it (and peers) are relatively easy to read and maintain.

Prolog is very surprising, because it is homoiconic and immensely powerful in metaprogramming, BUT ... the declarative style and execution model reigns in the complexity/readability. A term is just a term. Nothing happens when you create a term. If/when a term is a goal, then you match it with the head of an existing predicate (something you've already coded). So it never gets too messy.
Now, the biggest problem with Prolog is that it's so flexible, you'll perpetually be realizing that you could have coded something much more cleanly. So you do that, have less, code, it's nicer, etc. Doing this on a large team might not scale without effort.

I'll admit I have no idea what % of Adobe licensees/subscribers are individuals and small visual/graphic design firms (who choose Adobe for personal reasons) compared to larger companies (news agencies, web-design body-shops, etc) where employees use the tools given to them despite any personal preferences for rivals like Procreate, etc - and the rest: students, hobbyist photographers, etc.

...but none of the aforementioned market-segments seem like they'd make "AI" (whatever that means) any part of their purchasing-decision. Buzzwords only help sales when the audience is ignorant and/or impressionable; and when your audience are well-informed, seasoned (and cynical) professionals then buzzwords have the opposite effect and damage a company's credibility.

...so I'm not sure who, exactly, Adobe is trying to message with their press-copy for Adobe Firefly (their "generative AI for business" product); perhaps it's just a charade meant only for their shareholders? I'm glad they aren't copying Microsoft and shoving AI branding where it really doesn't belong and compromising the user-experience (...at least not so the same extent).

Depends segment to segment and sector to sector.

Take instant messaging as an example.

In the US, iMessage and FB Messenger are fairly prominent messaging services.

Yet in Japan+Taiwan+Thailand it's Line, in Korea it's KakaoTalk, in Vietnam it's Zalo, in China it's WeChat, etc.

Furthermore, the entire publicly listed tech industry globally generates around $6T in revenue, but FAANG represents only $1.4T in revenue. The other $4.6T are spread across multiple decently large companies globally.

In addition, the stereotypical big tech companies are NOT market leaders in plenty of very large market tech sectors. For example, Cybersecurity, ERP, Payment Processing, CRMs, etc.

Big Tech is big, but the world is big as well. There are plenty of markets where a regional competitor or a specialized player can outcompeting big tech. For example, look at Coupang and Flipkart decimating Amazon in SK and India.

Big Tech is big, but it is not an end-all.

I like the Rust approach more: usize/isize are the native integer types, and with every other numeric type, you have to mention the size explicitly.

On the C++ side, I sometimes use an alias that contains the word "short" for 32-bit integers. When I use them, I'm explicitly assuming that the numbers are small enough to fit in a smaller than usual integer type, and that it's critical enough to performance that the assumption is worth making.
