LOL the replies are hilarious. You've sniped several nerds today. Neat story.
I would love to see ghost rise higher in all of this, but my experience is that it’s very, very hard to sell most clients on it. They have all heard from someone that Wordpress does everything, it’s the standard, it’ll give them more options down the line, etc.

Ghost is more than enough quite often, but I wonder if a few more key features could convince a large amount of people to convert.

Their editor is great, but making it more extendable would be a huge deal. I’ve dug into it several times now, but I don’t see a clear path to a maintainable plugin API for the editor that would allow you to add more cards at will by just throwing them into a directory for example. It’s possible, but how would you version plugins? Would the editor need to be decoupled from ghost well enough that you can install the version that supports your plugins best? How do you handle broken plugin content? What if someone stops maintaining a plugin; do all the users of it eternally stay on the last version of the editor that supports it?

If that problem was solved I think a lot more people might come over to ghost as things like recipe cards, ad server integrations, form builders, and other popular tools made it into the editor.

Yet, would that actually make ghost better? I think there’s a version of this that would be objectively better, but you’d have to be careful not to allow for all kinds of potential breakage and friction. Right now everything is fully integrated so there are no regressions caused by upgrades. It would be a shame to lose that.

I wish I had more time to work on this. It’s a really fun, properly challenging problem.

No, it's more than that. Cloudflare's bot protection has blocked me from sites where I have a paid account, paid for by my real checking account with my real name attached. Even when I am perfectly willing to give out my identity and be tracked, I still can't because I can't even get to the login page.
I think they mean saving 40% of emissions on production of the motor
Hey there are some details about this scattered throughout. The answer really depends on the technique. For DDP you can fairly easily get same throughput as single gpu throughput (we were getting ~80% gpu util for multiple nodes iirc), as long as all the workers are getting the same sized data.

Once you move to training really large models like Llama 405B with FSDP and use things like CPU offloading, the throughput goes down quite a bit due to all the data transfers between CPU/GPU. If you have large enough clusters and don't have to use CPU offloading, you can get higher throughput.
Wow, this is pretty sudden. I wonder what the real story here is. Both have grown a lot as musicians and violinists over the last 11 years, so I wonder if one or both of them has picked up an agent for a solo career that really didn't want the twoset channel being up. That would be a really stupid decision, but I can see it.
I remember early "computer recreations" of life that seemed to suggest that unbounded randomness (mutation) was, as you mention, more often bad than good. Sexual reproduction, where genes are swapped (perhaps at random?) got you to the head of the class much, much quicker.
One big problem with SSRIs is that they cause a massive down-swing when you’re coming off of them and they take two weeks to start working. I guess that’s two problems. If they were otherwise comparable and lacked those two negatives (which it seems they do) it’d be worth exploring them. They should certainly be reclassified away from schedule 1 since they clearly have a medical use. I think it’s also clear they’re not addictive.
Funny, I’ve always thought the French Majorette were the best. Many of them had pretty good suspension which helped a lot in rolling across uneven ground.
Thanks! I've read the first one before. I'll take a look at the other two!
Our society can only exist because people don't push the boundaries of what is technical legal but still harmful to others. There are also many laws you can break without any risk of getting caught. It has to be that way because we can only invest a limited amount of our resources into enforcement of our laws. It's one big prisoner's dilemma where individuals gain by defecting but if too many people defect on the social contract the whole system falls apart.

Likewise, businesses lose money on people who habitually return things. People who behave reasonably subsidize the "ingenious" minority. Generous warranty and return policies can only exist when most people behave reasonably.
Qualcomm wants to buy Intel. Would that be enough to overtake Nvidia?
A fair chunk of their output (that I saw) was commentary on other stuff (performers/performances/other) which is pretty much commodity content for easy consumption, not really art¹.

Perhaps this is the reason for taking it down: they want to concentrate on a more commonly accepted-as-art part of the careers and not have the other content distract from that for now? If so then perhaps once they've moved far enough forward in the new direction, that it stands on its own to their satisfaction, the old content will start to be republished for nostalgia points.

[1] I'm not meaning to denigrate it, despite how that sentence may sound. It entertained many including sometimes me, so the content very much has value, but I don't generally consider commentary to be art.

What's new (among other things)

AI-powered content generation and summarisation: augmenting learning and teaching

The new AI subsystem adds the first AI-powered features in Moodle LMS.
Generating text and images in Moodle's editor simplifies content creation, saving time and effort. This functionality is available to all Moodle LMS users with the appropriate permissions.

AI-generated content is tagged for transparency, and descriptions for generated images are automatically added, making it easier to create inclusive, accessible learning materials.

When enabled by their instructor, learners can also use AI tools within Moodle to create content and summarise text, with all actions logged for review and continuous learning improvement. Learners benefit from having choice, control, and transparency in AI interactions, elements that help build essential digital literacy skills.

Moodle LMS will initially support the OpenAI API. This API will work with open-source models such as Ollama, LiteLLM, and LocalAI. It will also support services like Groq, OpenAI itself, and Azure. Additional AI model support will be added in future releases.
Cloudflare has always been a dumpster fire in usability. The number of times it would block me in that way was enough to make me seriously question anyones technical knowledge that used it. It's a dumpster fire. Friends don't let friend use Cloudflare. To me, it's like the Spirit airlines of CDNs.

Sure, tech wise it might work great, but from your users perspective: it's trash.
If that instance of hate speech is actually a crime in the readers jurisdiction then X has to remove it if it gets reported. Kind of how western companies have to censor Tank Man and other such things when they operate in China.

But more often than not, hate speech in the west is not illegal speech according to the law, just things some readers dislike because it doesn't conform to their personal beliefs/world view (orange man bad).
Part of me thinks "Oh they're just cast from cheap pot-metal" But if he was talking about the machining needed to make the molds (in a pre-CNC environment), including multi-part molds to allow for parts of the car that curved in (i.e. not a straight lift-out on release), then yes. The tooling needed to make them in volume, at the quality they needed, was pretty impressive for "just a toy"

So add Matchbox cars to Levi's 501s as subversive western imports. :)
Though, the RM Pro has 229 ppi vs. the 300ppi for the scribe. So for black and white text, the scribe still has a small edge. But it would of course be cool, if the scribe eventually gets color at 300ppi.
Sure, but do you refuse to use the names those people give? This takes away their agency. It is their call, not yours.
Missing are the exact use cases. For Twine (general purpose IoT monitor from way back), we used UDP for the steady monitoring stream, serving the purposes of a dashboard data stream and keeping the connection open, while saving power. Used TCP just for the events we wanted to be sure got received, but with UDP, Twine still got several 9s of packets getting delivered over the internet.
I Stopped Teaching My Kids How to Code – and Why You Should, Too
The article is kind of word soup, but I think the idea is that instead of using electromagnets interacting with permanent magnets to generate force, the motor uses electromagnets on both the rotor and stator. And it isn't nessesarily more efficient than a conventional electric motor, but the claim is that it costs less emissions overall, since rare earth magnets don't need to be mined to produce it. Also, it's brushless, or in other words power is transmitted to the rotor by induction instead of by electrical contacts, possibly using the electromagnets in the stator, but that's unclear.

It's a neat idea.
They use a gamescope[1] session to achieve this. You could potentially do the same on dekstop, but it's painful.

What is most concerning to me is the surgeons reaction to the patient moving and crying on the table was not to say “this patient is not dead, cancel the procedure”, but “you need to get another surgeon to do this procedure”

Seems like maybe a good lesson for future health care workers that the patient advocate is often the last line of defense for the patient and surgeons, techs and hospitals all fail to catch obvious errors with regularity
That was Go a 10 years ago, now it's Rust. Some people feel the need to talk loudly about their tools, which can be annoying, but also helps put it on the radar for the rest of us. Once we're aware of something we can assess it for ourselves and maybe we stick with it and maybe we go back to what we where doing before, or move on to the next thing.

The Rust fans are pushing it a bit, I understand why they love the language, but I don't, so the insisting hammering on "written in Rust" can push me away from certain tools. In the end it will die down and the loudest will move on to the next language, once the Rust hype has been tapered out.
This is a bit pedantic, but FID score wouldn't really be a viable metric for best of n selection since it's a metric that's only computable for distributions of samples. FID score is also pretty high variance for small sample sizes, so you need a lot of samples to compute a meaningful FID score.

Better metrics (assuming goal is text->image) would be some sort of inception score or CLIP-based text matching score. These metrics are computable on single samples.
Few (tech) things pull at the heart string more than great projects/articles about Common Lisp. Man what a treat!

Interesting. I remember my Hot Wheels rolling better than the few Matchbox cars I had (early 90s). Maybe the Matchbox cars I had were older and left over from my brother, or maybe the quality had changed at that point.
Thanks mate, I appreciate it :)
The reality that HackerNews denizens need to accept, in this case and in a more general form, is: RSS feeds are not popular. They aren't just unpopular in the way that, say, Peacock is unpopular relative to Netflix; they're truly unpopular, used regularly by a number of people that could fit in an american football stadium. There are younger software engineers at Cloudflare that have never heard the term "RSS" before, and have no notion of what it is. It will probably be dead technology in ten years.

I'm not saying this to say its a good thing; it isn't.

Here's something to consider though: Why are we going after Cloudflare for this? Isn't the website operator far, far more at-fault? They chose Cloudflare. They configure Cloudflare. They, in theory, publish an RSS feed, which is broken because of infrastructure decisions they made. You're going after Ryobi because you've got a leaky pipe. But beyond that: isn't this tool Cloudflare publishes doing exactly what the website operators intended it to do? It blocks non-human traffic. RSS clients are non-human traffic. Maybe the reason you don't want to go after the website operators is because you know you're in the wrong? Why can't these RSS clients detect when they encounter this situation, and prompt the user with a captive portal to get past it?
> Until next update will send your keys. Do you disassemble every update?

This is actually a big problem with all the web-based stuff where you re-download your client everytime you use it.

Now for an open source mobile app, you can actually compile it from source without having to disassemble. But of course it's not practical to audit it yourself. However, if the same binary is distributed to millions of people, you only need one of them to see the exploit.

If Signal updated the app to send the key, it would do it for millions of people through the Play Store. That's risky. Unless Signal convinced Google to send a specific binary to a specific user of course, but that's harder.
> do not take care of the existentially necessary bits.

That can't be true... people exist there. Turns out your heuristic is no more defensible than anyone else's: I want the government to provide precisely the services I want.
I want to play video games. I spent my childhood playing games in every waking moment of my free time that I could get away with. I did the same thing in my young adulthood, and now my current life.

As an adult, unfortunately (lol), family and job take priority and I can't just play video games all day, despite my wishes.

I would have approximately zero productivity if I just did what I thought was fun. I'm sure I'm not alone.

If I don't have some sort of exterior structure or motivator, I will literally get nothing done, and I have no desire to.
> Doesn't matter how common

Yes it does, if your concern is “how often do I encounter code where I can’t predict or control what it actually does on the hardware”.
> When he presented this idea he was rejected by the medical community. His ideas were dismissed and he was harassed.

We live in an interesting world don't we.

A parallel I always think about is that basketball players who are paid literally millions could improve their freethrow% by using a granny shot [1]. They all know it. They don't care.

One thing to remember is that he didn't propose germ theory. He didn't have solid proof of what was wrong and only the observation that hand washing worked. This is shakey ground to get onto because it's how you end up with cargo cult behavior.

> Oslo accords were almost entirely concessions from the Palestinian side. There were no meaningful concessions on the Israeli settlement policy.

This is just not true. The Palestinians didn't have any recognized governing body before the accords; the accords made the Palestinian Authority the official representative of the Palestinian people, and outlined the areas from which Israel would withdraw and that would be governed by the PA completely. This all happened and is still the situation.

> I am not approving any of that of course, but the notion of "it failed because Hamas terrorism" is outright historical revisionism.

That is not the reason the peace process failed - it failed because the Palestinians at some walked away without agreeing to a deal, or giving a counteroffer that Israel could weigh. Multiple times. Had they agreed, there would be a peace in place today.

But the terrorism is the reason the Israeli Left eventually lost much public support - because the Right just said, correctly, that all attempts at peace and all concessions have been met with refusal and more violence.

I'm not saying Israel didn't do anything bad or was always the best negotiating partner, and I think settlement activity should've been stopped (and really, should never have happened in the first place!). But this notion that there was never any real chance at peace, that Israel never even tried to negotiate, etc, is something that people have only started saying in the last couple of years, it's not what anyone at the time was saying.

You don't have to trust Israelis for this, trust Clinton, trust the other Americans, trust plenty of historians who've looked at the deal.

As for historical revisionism...

> And yes, with Arafat and the PLO seen as "selling out", as well as Baruch Goldstein's terror attack fanning the flames, Hamas was born and started their suicide attacks.

It takes like two minutes on Wikipedia to show that this is not true. Hamas was founded in 1987 and carried out its first terror attack in 1988, about 6 years before Goldstein's terror attack.
> There's also "illegal" amx plugins and commands, which are generally frowned upon and extremely abusable, but quite useful in these situations. My favorite (which most of the "illegal plugins" are based around) is amx_exec which essentially gives admins direct access to any client's in-game console, to run any command or set any setting!

Yes, we have something similar for UT2004, but only a handful of people are even aware it exists. It's too powerful and too easily abused. I have yet to share it, even with other admins.

I doubt that's it. "We're stepping away from this project to focus on our solo careers" is an extremely established & acceptable play for musicians. To such an extent that it's often stated disingenuously to cover other conflict or scandal. If it were that they would have just said it.
Suggesting that website operators should allowlist RSS clients through the Cloudflare bot detection system via their user-agent is a rather concerning recommendation.
Something I realized later was that gold is much denser than ducks. So Scrooge could not have dived into his silo of gold without injuries equivalent to diving onto a sidewalk. Ehh, it was still a great visual.

Given the amount of performance rants bashing Compose, probably not quite.
You're right. It does smack a little bit of insecurity (phycological, not in the CS sense). But, "blah blah blah `written by AI`" transmits a different signal than "blah blah blah `written in Rust`", at least for now.
I don't think these things go together. I enjoy writing poems, one could argue writing poems makes no sense.

If you look at coding as a tool to reach a goal, I would agree no need to learn it (like book printing). If you look at coding as a tool of creativity, it is still relevant (just like manual book printing with a manual printing press).
> we know it exists but don’t really understand it.

We only know that some people believe it to exist, wherever it actually does is an entirely different matter.

And if it exists, wherever it's a positive of a negative influence is another layer of uncertainty, that almost certainly entirely depends on the other people that they're working together with.

For anyone with an ad-free Kindle, and running the most recent firmware, and you're looking for the Display Cover option using Amazon's documentation, and you're not finding it...like me.

It looks like earlier this year they moved the option out of Settings > Device Options and it's now located in Settings > Screen & Brightness. Which ironically doesn't seem to be documented anywhere that I can find.

The thing you have to factor in is that most people are at risk of phishing or password leaks by compromised sites. The vast majority of users don’t have the problems you mentioned so it’s a question of whether we should leave 90% of users at risk or let them have a safer, easier, faster experience while the remaining people continue doing what they are doing now or drop a few bucks on hardware tokens.
A paperback book. I can get around a hundred pages per second.

If you need an eReader, something with an LCD screen will refresh faster than something with an eInk display.
A downside is it makes the site unusable for screen readers and SEO, plus it adds backend costs (compared to a plain backend that serves static files) if it's generated dynamically, although one can pre-generate a bunch of variants and randomly pick one at runtime (which could be handled by the load balancer) to minimize the costs.
