For anyone that's confused, there was an event at TwitchCon where some streamers (including one Jewish person) created a tier list. The tier list ranked other streamers according to whether they should be given a "pass" to say the word 'habibi'. The categories included things like 'Arab', 'Arab-coded', and at the bottom 'Loves Sabra'. Sabra, in this case, is a well-known brand of (supposedly not good) hummus (I don't like even good hummus, so I don't know). There's a conspiracy theory (subscribed to by OP) that 'loves Sabra' was actually some kind of code-phrase for a Jewish person because there's a similar sounding Hebrew word that refers to a Jew born in Israel. This led to a lot of people getting very mad.

I say this is a conspiracy theory because if you listen to even five minutes of this (pretty unfunny, admittedly) panel, it's abundantly clear that they are indeed talking about bad hummus, not Jews. In fact, they rank a few known Jewish streamers as Arab or Arab-coded -- i.e. allowed to say 'habibi' -- and vice versa. And, as mentioned, one of the panelists is also Jewish.

There's also the fact that I don't think most people would know this Hebrew word, but would definitely have heard of the brand. So if this is some attempt to promote antisemitism, it seems pretty lousy. If this was an attempt at antisemitism, it also doesn't make much sense to single out only Jews born in Israel. Antisemitism doesn't make this distinction (at least that I've ever heard). It usually focuses exclusively on 'global cabals' and the 'new world order' and conspiracies of that nature.

I don't think it does for anything under Android/data/ directory though does it? Which might sound like nitpicking except that there are some apps which only store their data under Android/data with no option to put it elsewhere, which means that there is no way for syncthing to access that data.

Rust does support a form of overloading via custom traits. It’s true that you can’t overload e.g. different numbers of arguments (and the lack of default/keyword arguments is especially annoying here), but you can overload a function by having it be generic over a trait argument and then implementing that trait for each overloaded type.
Being forced to use a seat belt isn't a standard, it's actually authoritarianism. And largely used as a pretense to pull people over without probable cause, rather than for any other purpose. Mandating that manufacturers have seatbelts in cars is the regulation of commerce. Mandating that ISPs provide ip6 is also the regulation of commerce. Ip6 itself is a standard.

A standard is something that people have to adhere to in order to measure things in a portable way, or for general interop. It's not anything that one is told to do by a government.

Google's app process requires active developers and just makes it plain impossible to make an app and have it work with minimal updates. You're not allowed to "feature complete" an app and just exist. Every few months they threaten me to upgrade this, upgrade that, fill out this form, submit this info and I eventually gave up this year and they've already deleted my developer account and removed the app from search.

> Language is all about context. I wasn't trying to be deceitful. And on HN I've never seen anyone using quotation marks to quote people.

It's still unclear how this apparent lack of knowledge of basic writing mechanics would justify your use of quotation marks to attempt a straw man argument wherein you deliberately attempted to convince me that OP said something completely different.

> Doctests isn't same as writing documentation. Doctest are the simplest form of documentation. Given function named so and so write API doc + example. It could not even write example that passed syntax check.

That truly sounds like a skill issue. This no-true-Scotsman angle is silly. I said documentation and tests, I don't know how you got "doctests" out of that. I said "documentation", and "tests". I didn't say "the simplest form of documentation", that is another straw man on your behalf.

> Then you haven't given it interesting/complex enough problems.

Wow, the arrogance. There is absolutely nothing to justify this assumption. It's exceedingly likely that you yourself aren't capable of interacting meaningfully with LLMs for one reason or another, not that I haven't considered interesting or complex problems. I bring some extraordinarily difficult cross-domain problems to these tools and end up satisfied with the results far more often than not.

My argument is literally that cutting-edge LLMs excel with complex problems, and they do in many cases in the right hands. It's unfortunate if you can't find these problems "interesting" enough, but that hasn't stopped me from getting good enough results to justify using an LLM during research and development.

> Also this isn't about practice. It's about its capabilities.

Unfortunately, this discourse has made it clear that you do need considerable practice, because you seem to get bad results, and you're more interested in defending those bad results even if it means insulting others, instead of just considering that you might not quite be skilled enough.

> This is the stochastic parrot in action. Why? Because it tried to pass of JSON like structure as YAML.

That proves its stochasticity, but it doesn't prove it is a "stochastic parrot". As long as you lack the capability to realistically assess these models, it's no wonder that you've had such bad experiences. You didn't even bother clarifying which LLM you used, nor did you mention any parameters of your experiment or even if you attempted multiple trials with different LLMs or prompts. You failed to follow the scientific method and so it's no surprise that you got subpar results.

> Whatever LLM's are they aren't intelligent.

You have demonstrated throughout this discussion that you aren't capable of assessing machine intelligence. If you learned how to be more open-minded and took the time to learn more about these new technologies, instead of complaining about contemporary shortcomings and bashing those who do benefit from the technologies, it would likely open many doors for you.
Building robust LLM-based applications is token-intensive. You often have to plan for the parsing and digestion of a lot of tokens for summarization or even retrieval augmented generation. Even the mere generation of marketing blogposts consumes a lot of output tokens in most cases. Not to mention that all robust cognitive architectures often rely on the generation of several samples for each prompt, custom retry logics, feedback loops, and reasoning tokens to achieve state of the art performance, all solutions powerfully token-intensive.

Luckily, the cost of intelligence is quickly dropping. GPT-4, one of OpenAI’s most capable models, is now priced at $2.5 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. At its initial release in March 2023, the cost was respectively $10/1M input tokens and $30/1M for output tokens. That’s a huge $7.5/1M input tokens and $20/1M output tokens reduction in price.

I don't recall Mandrake being particularly difficult, although it's been a long time and I don't remember much details, but it was my first Linux distro back in the day. From what I recall, the installation was very similar to Ubuntu(?) I guess my memory of things must be wrong.

Might be interesting to get a hold of an old Mandrake install CD and try in QEMU.

I do remember I had some problems upgrading Mandrake: after the upgrade I just got gibberish on the screen – some X problems I guess, but I didn't have the skill to debug it at the time. I just reinstalled with FreeBSD (which I had tried before Mandrake, but I couldn't get "xfree86 -configure" to work – the second time I had learned enough from Mandrake to make that work) and didn't look much at Linux for a long time after that.

This article mostly seems to be about documentation for users of the code, not documentation within the code.
This, like most articles dealing with "JS", is really more about the things you'll find yourself futzing around with when you're in the NodeJS and NPM ecosystem.

You wouldn't conflate Windows development with "C" (and completely discount UNIX along the way) just because of Win32. But that's about how bonkers it is when it comes to JS and people do the same with its relationship to Node—not only was JS not created to serve the Node ecosystem, the prescriptions that NPM and Node programmers insist on often cut against the grain of the language. And that's just when we're focused on convention and haven't even gotten to the outright incompatibilities between Node and the language standard (or Node's proprietary APIs).

node_modules, for example? That has fuck-all to do with ECMA262/JS. Tailwind, Rollup, Prettier, all this other stuff—even the misleadingly named ESLint? Same. You're having a terrible experience because you're interacting with terrible software. It doesn't matter that it's written in JS (or quasi-JS). Rewrite these implementations all in other languages, and the terrible experience will remain.

Besides, anyone who's staking out a position that a language is slow, and that JS is one of them is wrong two ways, and you don't have to listen to or legitimize them.
> It's usually the opposite. And the post is specifically about making JavaScript tools, why would you not expect them to be written in JS?

Take a look at rollup, vite, etc. These tools are essentially replacing webpack, which is written in JS. Modern Rollup (^4) uses SWC (Rust-based bundler), and vite is currently using a mix of esbuild (Go) and Rollup. I think they're switching to SWC in v6 though.

The point here is that for certain operations JS is not nearly as fast as lower-level languages like the aforementioned. Bundling is one of those performance-critical areas where every second counts.

That said, as a TypeScript developer I agree with the sentiment that JS tools should be written in JS, but this isn't a hard and fast rule. Sometimes performance matters more. I think the reasonable approach is to prefer JS – or TS, same difference – for writing JS tools. If that doesn't work, reach for something with more performance like Rust, Go, or C++. So far I've only had to do the latter for 2 use cases, one of which is hardware profiling.

The current layoff cycle seems to be about lowering labor costs by dismissing expensive employees while limiting hiring to a smaller number of entry-level positions. There is also an assumption of an AI bonus that will allow companies to operate with more automation and fewer human employees.

I am generally on the side of product/usability. Nobody cares about the underlying protocol.

However, the more I learn about what Jay, Paul, and team are doing, the more I realize that the protocol is actually important. Them being federated protocol nerds, while also having to focus on supporting millions of users is super interesting to watch unfold. This could be really cool because they really thought about the underlying factors, from go.

There are many user issues like "when I block someone, they should no longer follow me" which seem so simple from a user POV, but are actually complex from the federated protocol POV. I am learning a lot by watching what happens here.

For many traders, learning technical analysis might seem relatively straightforward. You can pick up strategies like support and resistance within a few months. However, controlling your emotions is what takes much longer, and it's the primary reason why 95% of traders fail.

Most traders are too focused on the money side of trading and forget that the strategies themselves are always workable. The problem is that emotions interfere and cloud decision-making, leading to unnecessary losses.

This is where the Scalping VIP Indicator and VIP Oscillator™ come into play. They are designed to take emotions out of the trading equation. Instead of relying on gut feelings or stressing over potential losses, these tools provide you with real-time and precise signals based purely on technical analysis. It’s not about predicting the future, but about tracking the repeated patterns in the market and acting on clear, structured signals.

Rather than making random trades every day and worrying about every price move, these tools help you focus on big trends and understand why the market is moving—whether it’s politics, wars, or economic shifts. In short, the indicator helps you make decisions based on logic, not emotion.

The Scalping VIP Indicator isn’t just a trading tool; it’s a tool to help you learn to control your emotions and make decisions with clarity. If you want to be a successful trader, the first step is to remove emotions from your decisions, and these tools make that easy

Sometimes sand + water is used for ballast. Depends on your use case, if your heavy thing is moving around then the sloshing won't be ideal, but if it's just sitting somewhere static then it can work.

eg; weighing down the corners of a beach tent, pegs won't grip in the sand so instead tie plastic bags onto the guy ropes and fill them with sand and water.

Wide scale deployment of NAT (the "home router" that allowed you to connect multiple devices) was the greatest leap in internet security we ever made. I remember the days when we had "everything gets a global IP," and we do NOT want to go back to that. Look up Conficker, Code Red, Blaster, etc.

People naively assume the large IPv6 address space somehow hides your computer on the internet. That isn't true. Both because v6 host discovery is a solved-ish problem for attackers, and worms have near unlimited resources to throw at the wall.
One of the biggest drawbacks of jsonpatch is not being able to patch an associative array (e.g. arrays with a unique key element).

This is most obvious in Kubernetes, where you have a list property like:

"conditions": [{"type":"a", "status":"b"}, {"type":"c", "status":"d"}, ...]

and you can't really create a patch like "change the conditions[type="a"].status to foo". As a result, you usually end up doing a whole field patch.

One day I was at a restaurant explaining process control to one of my disciples. I was mentioning how we have to kill the children (child processes) if they become unresponsive. Or we can even set an alarm for the children to kill themselves. That the parent need to wait (wait3) and acknowledge that the child has died or else it will become a zombie.

The look of horror the woman sitting across had was unforgettable. I tried to explain it was a computer software thing but it was too late, she fled terrified, probably to call the police or something. I didn't really want to stick around too long to find out.

Ubuntu was never a non-Snap distro. It was always a distribution provided by Canonical wherein they make decisions for you based on their own criteria. Snap became one of those decisions. I can't help but think of "Open Source is Not About You" by Rich Hickey.

If Canonical is, as you say, using Ubuntu _against_ users (and not, in what is much more likely, simply making a decision that you disagree with) why would you want to continue using it? They have root on all your systems via apt.

Personally, I can't wait to try the all-Snap flavor whenever it's ready. I'm curious if it will work for my usage (gaming in particular).
