wordpress.org isn’t an intermediary, they’re the publisher, so they can’t be in the middle, and they can’t be MITM

Now, the owner of a package could do a supply chain attack (with a very short chain which is why I think the concept is overhyped), and it would be a supply chain attack, but it wouldn’t be a man in the middle attack. WordPress took over ownership of it but they haven’t published malicious to it. Back when WP Engine owned it they could have published a malicious update and it would be a supply chain attack but with a very short chain unless the user installed a project that depended on it and caused it to automatically be installed.

Those seven billion people aren't very good for the most part, and include a critical mass of spectacularly awful people. It turns out that public access forums calibrated for the small and self-selected community of mostly high quality internet pioneers aren't prepared to deal with 1000000x expansion of reachable audience. The Eternal September effect has been getting stronger ever since it's first been observed.
> there isn't no reason for people to think otherwise

It’s possible, not probable.

It would take an act of the Congress to keep the ISS funded. There is zero indication that status quo will change nor a strong constituency for changing it.
I think we need to distinguish between the language e.g. the native language the person uses like English and the concept of language. Your information exchanging binary messages over PCI bus is also part of a language.
Well that is partly why I made clear that I was just sharing my anecdotal experience, everyone is different and there is no one miracle cure.

Though I would find it hard to believe that fresh air, fresh food, and a bit of time working outside each day would make anyone's health worse.

Injuries and trauma care in general are absolutely a different story. While I am less certain about the net positive of many modern treatments that only treat symptoms and ignore root causes, modern trauma care seems to have a massive pile of evidence showing how beneficial it is.

I really don't think you're right about the average person, or even a notable size of people, believing in the idea of their car being their "frontier of freedom" as was popular in the 70-80's media. I don't think that many people care about driving nowadays.
Show HN: I created a to-do app that lets you submit tasks as quickly as possible
Hello HN!

I've had this idea for a long time and created this app out of frustration with other to-do apps.

It feels like you're filling a job application form just to add a task. Additionally, I've always worked better by creating to-do lists scoped to a day, which is also a main feature here.

I created the whole app with SwiftUI and SwiftData - This is in fact my first mobile app with a native stack, and I must say, I absolutely love how easy this stack feels compared to my usual JS stack nowadays.

I'm also giving away the lifetime pro version for just $9.99 until end of October - most of the features are free however, and I made it an important point not to track users :)

I'd love to get some feedback as well!
Same... It's just not ergonomic. I much preferred the simplicity as someone who loves Python for that same reason. I love code that looks like this:

import whisper

model = whisper.load_model("turbo")

result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")

print(result["text"])

Or this (although this is slightly 'dirtier'):

import eng_to_ipa as ipa
def get_homophones(word):

words_that_sound_the_same = []
the_way_this_word_looks = word
the_way_this_word_sounds = ipa.convert(word)
words_that_contain_that_sound =
ipa.contains(the_way_this_word_sounds)
for every_word in words_that_contain_that_sound:
the_way_that_word_looks = every_word[0]
the_way_that_word_sounds = every_word[1]

if the_way_this_word_sounds == the_way_that_word_sounds:
if the_way_that_word_looks != the_way_this_word_looks:
words_that_sound_the_same.append(every_word)

return words_that_sound_the_same

get_homophones('their') #[['there', 'ðɛr'], ["they're", 'ðɛr']]

Or Raymond Hettinger style.

Chef's kiss. I hate code that overcomplicates.

Blah blah 'making stuff explicit'... I don't think that it's impossible to make things explicit while also making it ergonomic, and humane to use.

Anyway, programming as a whole is an old paradigm, sigh, might as well make the new thing myself.

New video game idea: In the 21st century, with increases in computational and networking power it is now inevitable that any device with a screen attached can be reconfigured to show ads. You fulfill this inevitability by hooking up your portable advertisement control computer to every car infotainment system, smartwatch, and Adafruit 16x16 RGB LED matrix in sight.

I still don't think capitalism will help in solving this issue, if only because putting a cost on the environment will always be fought against and never integrated: there is no interest in this. And I also don't think that a strong State will implement strong checks on capitalism, if only because States are inherently dominated by capitalist powers.

If we want to take it into consideration, we have to take the matter in our own hands, away from the State, away from capitalistic interests.

Just one tiny problem: I've played the blame game before. I've worked there. You can't sell me the greener grass on the other side of the road because I've been to the other side of the road and I know the grass there is actually 90% trampled mud and goose shit.

The blame game drives the exact same bureaucratization process, but faster, because all of the most capable and powerful players have a personal incentive to create insulating processes / excuses that prevent them from winding up holding the bag. Everyone in this thread at time of writing is gleefully indulging in wishful thinking about finally being able to hold the team underperformer accountable, but these expectations are unrealistic. Highly productive individuals do not tend to win the blame game because their inclinations are the exact opposite of the winning strategy. The winning strategy is not to be productive, it's to maximize safety margin, which means minimizing responsibility and maximizing barriers to anyone who might ask anything of you. Bureaucracy goes up, not down, and anyone who tries to be productive in this environment gets punished for it.

"Blaming the system" doesn't prevent bureaucracy from accumulating, obviously, but it does prevent it from accumulating in this particular way and for this particular reason.
Why even have the word autism? It's almost meaningless.
LOOPS (Lisp object-oriented programming systems) is written in Interlisp for the Interlisp-D environment, was a Xerox product and is from around 1981.

CLOS (Common Lisp Object System) is a general OOP standard extension for Common Lisp. A specification was proposed in 1987/88. CLOS was included in the Common Lisp standard and widely implemented by various implementations.

Both were a "system" -> meaning that it is available and programmable also at runtime.

LOOPS is an actual piece of software with a GUI, which integrates into the Interlisp-D development environment.

LOOPS was based on message sending, classes, methods, interactive changes to the object system.

CLOS does not use message sending, but calling generic functions with multi-methods and multiple dispatch.

LOOPS supports Access-oriented Programming with Active Values. Demons can act based on access to objects. CLOS has no direct support for that. Maybe partial (-> :before & :around &:after methods in CLOS).

LOOPS includes a rule-system. CLOS systems have that as extensions. It's not a part of CLOS itself.

LOOPS includes graphical & menu tools to browse and edit objects. CLOS systems have some of that as extensions, depending on the implementation.

LOOPS was a programming system for knowledge-based systems, like Expert Systems. CLOS was not designed for that, but such programming systems were also developed for Common Lisp, some using CLOS. Example: KnowledgeWorks from LispWorks.

LOOPS was later rewritten as CommonLOOPS for Common Lisp. The software "Portable Common LOOPS" (PCL) then was further developed into a portable (and widely ported) and complete prototype implementation of CLOS + MOP.
> Boeing fits at least that role

No, they don’t. Starliner is a paper competitor. The money NASA sends it ensure SpaceX maintains a practical monopoly.

Boeing is the “competitor” everyone wishes for. Sucking up the oxygen in the room a real competitor might need while doing absolutely nothing to contest your market share.

> they've built the vehicle with no drama

Late to launch, billions over budget and strands its astronauts but has a CEO you can’t remember because their planes kept falling apart is a weird way to spell “no drama.”
We’ve faced more headwinds… and experienced vast worse economic conditions too.

The current situation is one of uncertainty that things may get worse. It’s not even a recession.
How about we define "phone" as a voice capable device that is reachable by its assigned phone number. It's the unifying factor for dozens of different technologies that have been called "phone" for decades.

Anything else seems absurd.
Not the least of which is that people who take stuff like that as gospel instead of as heuristics tend to endlessly argue what is and isn't a "unit".
It is just pedophiles. A user posted here on HN a while ago that they ran a Tor exist node and the overwhelming majority of it was CSAM or other cybercrime. Here in Germany they busted some underground forum and a single individual had 35TB worth of it at home. There's no great conspiracy, the criminal underworld is huge and they use every service that doesn't clamp down on it in some form.
> Autism as a diagnostic classification is so broad that the non verbal are lumped in with those with rigidity behavior, when at least to me they seem like they should just have a different diagnosis.

As someone with a diagnosis, I've gotten into the habit of referring to myself as "on the spectrum" when discussing with people rather than using a specific term. It helps emphasize the fact that there's a range of potential manifestations, and (hopefully) helps remind people that their expectations based on past experience might not fit my behavior exactly.

This basically. Either there's a functional commercial replacement which is theoretically also a use case for a properly functioning Starliner or the ISS gets extended. Plausibly both. It doesn't have a fixed life limit, hasn't stopped working, hasn't stopped being used for experiments, and a commercial space boom era when microgravity experiments started turning into businesses would be a weird time for the US to decide it was a waste of money and give the space station monopoly to China...
What's useful here? There's nothing actionable, no way to quantify if you're doing "SMURF" correctly. All the article describes is semi-obvious desirable qualities of a test suite.
Wordpress.org is not the publisher of that plugin - WPE is. Wordpress.org was just hosting it in their plugin directory, which is where just about the entire community goes to for plugins. I’d guess that because of this drama, more plugin publishers will choose to not publish theirs in the directory anymore.

> the benefit of having Starliner and SpX is redundancy

Starliner provides zero redundancy. It doesn’t work. If it did, it can’t spin up quickly enough. If it could, it has a limited number of shots for having been designed for an obsolete launch vehicle

Isn’t this paper pretty much about spending a few short years to improve the performance? Or are you arguing that the same people who made breakthroughs over the last few years should have also done the optimization work?
Here's my tip for the 555 timer: Learn what's inside it! As you can see on the "Inside the 555" page, there are fewer than 10 functional components inside and three of them are resistors.

For some reason I always struggled to remember the different operating mode configurations, what they are called, and how to set them up. But one day I was trying to build a specific thing and decided to sit down and actually understand the 555. To my surprise, it's really simple in operation and requires relatively little electronics theory to understand and derive the different configurations yourself. Once I did that, I haven't forgotten it and I can come up with more creative uses for the 555.
Progress with LLMs would seem to support the title. The language abilities of LLMs does not seem to lead to higher thought, so there must be additional processes that are required for higher thought or process that don’t depend on language

The same team wrote another interesting paper arguing that there's no "double descent" in linear regression, trees, and boosting, despite what many argued before (in this paper they don't tackle deep learning double descent, but remark that the case may be similar regarding the existence of different complexity measures being conflated).
In this cases, you need DVC if:

1. File are too large for Git and Git LFS.

2. You prefer using S3/GCS/Azure as a storage.

3. You need to track transformations/piplines on the file - clean up text file, train mode, etc.

Otherwise, vanilla Git may be sufficient.

Is it important? To who? Anyone with half a brain is aware that language isn't the only way to think. I can think my way through all kinds of things in 3-d space without a single word uttered in any internal monologue and I'm not remotely unique - this kind of thing is put in all kinds of math and iq'ish like tests one takes as a child.
No. The greatest interaction I had was when a kid didn’t hold a door for me and his mom said “I’m sorry he has Asperger’s and it’s a little heavy on the ass.”

Then we ended up in the same waiting room for a while and she talked about accommodating her son and how they managed it. What was really interesting is the kid looked like it was the first time he heard his mom talk to someone else about it and him and I could tell he was embarrassed but really loving her that moment.
Thank you for doing this. Added RSS feed.
The only positive thing I can say about his purchase of Twitter was that it finally stopped me wasting time on the site.

Despite Musk's… what, breakdown? Radicalisation? Temper tantrums? Whatever that is, SpaceX is still astoundingly fast at both launching stuff to orbit and also making new and better rockets than almost everyone else on the planet combined.

I'd like to see the money that was given to Boeing, instead given to another space startup that might do something interesting.

Spin-launch, perhaps.
Sacred river in India covered in toxic foam
As some who has a dis-harmonic intelligence profile, this has been obvious for a very long time. In the family of my mother there are several individuals struggling with language while excelling in the field of exact sciences. I very strongly suspect that my non-verbal (performal) IQ is much higher (around 130) than my verbal IQ (around 100). I have struggled my whole life to express my ideas with language. I consider myself an abstract visual thinker. I do not think in pictures, but in abstract structures. During my life, I have met several people, especially among software engineers, who seem to be similar to me. I also feel that people who are strong verbal thinkers have the greatest resistance against idea that language is not essential for higher cognitive processes.
The original paper by Weizenbaum is a blast to read. The sample interaction with ELIZA is genuinely humorous. He also makes a number of observations that sound like precursors to societal issues today, such as how humans may perceive human-like machines, and whether it matters if humans can even recognize the non-humans among us.

I spend no time considering genetic variations, or genetic correlations, I deal with what's in front of me. This study is _almost_ backcasting; it might improve the model, but, not the outcome.

Maybe the study is fine and valuable, and maybe it'll lead to something. Maybe? But, it does nothing in the present. Not in the here and now.

It doesn't sound like there's a fundamental issue with the protocol.
Hard disagree. I own an ebike, which I drive in "eco" mode most of the time. After 25kph there's a hard cutoff, meaning I only drive a very heavy bike.

I also live on top of a hill, and an ebike has greatly increased my will to commute, especially when cycling home after gym.

The problem is regulation. Any bike that has a throttle, or isn't capped to 25kph should be illegal to drive without registering it as a motor vehicle. Yet I've never seen anyone actually enforce this.
DVC does a lot more than git.

It essentially makes sure that your results can reproducibly be generated from your original data. If any script or data file is changed, the parts of your pipeline that depend on it, possibly recursively, get re-run and the relevant results get updated automatically.

There's no chance of e.g. changing the structure of your original dataset slightly, forgetting to regenerate one of the intermediate models by accident, not noticing that the script to regenerate it doesn't work any more due to the new dataset structure, and then getting reminded a year later when moving to a new computer and trying to regen everything from scratch.

It's a lot like Unix make, but with the ability to keep track of different git branches and the data / intermediates they need, which saves you from needing to regen everything every time you make a new checkout, lets you easily exchange large datasets with teammates etc.

In theory, you could store everything in git, but then every time you made a small change to your scripts that e.g. changed the way some model works and slightly adjusted a score for each of ten million rows, your diff would be 10m LOC, and all versions of that dataset would be stored in your repo, forever, making it unbelievably large.
You can add the private key of your server in wireshark and it will automatically decrypt the packets.

I doubt he’d think much of it. I’m about 2/3rds through it. It’s all more of the same and not terribly convincing.

Fr. Andrew Dalton is a Sindonologist(?), somebody who studies the shroud, but not necessarily from a scientific perspective. Sindonology isn’t exactly embraced by Shermer in his article, or, apparently, by the scientific community in general. I hadn’t encountered the term before, but at a glance it seems to have all the scientific rigor of ufology or cryptozoology.

What I’ve heard so far in the video isn’t new evidence, but enthusiastic re-hashing of previous topics that have already been discussed to death. The video offers precisely the kinds of suspicious arguments that Shermer talks about. Exactly, in the case of C14 dating, “French invisible weaves”, and corner-holding-contamination.

I hadn’t encountered the AZ 1 & 2 C14 differences though and I’d be curious to get more details. He only briefly mentions them and doesn’t provide anything further. Fr. Dalton seems to point people to shroud.com which he calls “the most scientific of websites’ - that statement seems dubious at best, and browsing the site doesn’t change my impression.

I do appreciate that towards the end of the video that Fr. Dalton completely acknowledges that there is no evidence dating the shroud to the 1st century. All the other discussion around the “historical facts” surrounding JC, such as the kind of crown we supposedly wore, the kind of cross he supposedly carried, etc. is very eye-brow raising. The discussion of Eucharistic miracles and the prevalence of the AB blood type is similarly…interesting.

At the end of the day the authenticity of the shroud is a matter of faith. Evidence doesn’t seem like it should be important.
