Java. Async is for the birds, use ordinary threads first and in the p=0.001 case that's not good enough use virtual threads. Given all the work that's gone into Java since JDK 8 I think the case for Kotlin, Scala and other static JVM languages is weaker than it's ever been.

If it's your real IP, it's not spoofing, even if you send the packet through a different ISP than the one which gave you the IP. If you think about it: if you got an IP directly from ARIN you wouldn't have to send your packets through ARIN to make them legitimate.
YouTube would die.

Although it generates a large amount of revenue, YouTube's costs are substantially higher. It provides Google with engagement and a prime source of user data, so subsidising it has been an acceptable trade-off for Alphabet. Recent attempts to increase revenue, although partially successful, have shown that the platform is unlikely to pay its own way because universal accessibility is fundamental to YouTube's success; removal of the free level is not a viable option.
They have, and for that we have SponsorBlock https://sponsor.ajay.app/

I don't know if you follow my argument, which is:

> DST actually makes most sense in 30-40 degrees of latitude.

I am not arguing for having "year-round DST", nor for not having any DST at all. All I'm saying is this: at 50th parallel, there's plenty of daylight in the summer, and so: people should just figure out what to do in the winter -- and stick with it all year round. At 25th parallel, there's not much variance between summer and winter, so again, people should just figure out what to do in the winter -- and stick with it all year round. It's in between -- or 30 to 40 -- that the summer daytime is both scarce and variable enough to make the twice-a-year change worthwhile.

Regarding your personal situation, I have no idea where you reside or what "the nation" is -- assuming US, I gather you have a "fall-back" change in three days, for a sunrise at 6:15am and up to 7am at the latest? If so, sounds like you've got it all figured out.
FOr many customer, the amount of time and effort needed needed to migrate from Vmware to some other competitor is just too much so they're stuck in the Broadcom stack and Broadcom knows this. It'll cost them more in labor and man hours than it would to just stay there and swallow the price increases.
It's more like 400MB due to how they're packaged. And when you could have it run with 10x to 20x less RAM, it just scream "we don't care about you". Not everyone have 64GB RAM and 22 cores of CPU in their laptop.

It's like using a semi-truck (with the trailer attached) to go buy groceries 100 meters away.
The only reason it didn't happen last election is because Mike Pence refused to go along with it

The question is what is the business model and who pays for it, that determines how much advertising you’re getting. It is not clear if OpenAI could compete in Ad-supported search. So maybe OpenAI is trying to do the basic research, outcompete the Bing research group at Microsoft and then serve as an engine for Bing. Alternatively they could be just improving the ability of LLMs to do search, targeting future uses in agentic applications.
The systemic downsides of police overreach happen whether or not a particular person was guilty. In general, throwing out the evidence is an effective way to fight back against overreach. I'm not worried about this guy, I'm worried about everyone else.

The idea that they would have been able to get a warrant limits the damage, but it's still iffy.
Of course, and I recall there being a single windows process that pretty much did everything -- but at the same time I knew that there were no other processes acting in the background other than the ones I actively used, and Windows.

This is an actual _pattern_? Yikes^2.
I remember when this feature was specifically not available with NativeAOT.

It's good that it is now, but how can it be implemented in a way that has truly separate instantiations of generics at runtime, when calls cross assembly boundaries? There's no single good place to generate a specialization when virtual method body is in one assembly while the type parameter passed to it is a type in another assembly.

Same, but, until recently, I've been using Microsoft's Co-Pilot because for the longest time it did exactly what this new "search" feature added to ChatGPT: it produced a list of source material and links to reference the LLM's output against. It was often instrumental for me and I did begin to use it as a search engine considering how polluted a lot of first-search results have become with spam and empty, generated content.

Oddly, Microsoft recently changed the search version of Copilot to remove all the links to source material. Now it's like talking to an annoying growth-stage-startup middle manager in every way, including the inability to back up their assertions and a propensity to use phrases like "anyway, let's try to keep things moving".

Happy to see this feature set added into ChatGPT – particularly when I'm looking for academic research in/on a subject I'm not familiar with.

The danger in the US involves general poor tea handling with iced tea. Sun Tea involves leaving water and tea bags in the sun for a long while to do kind of a cold brew. Many places (shitty donut shops, greasy spoon diners, etc) make iced tea by stuffing the filter basket on their coffee pots with tea bags, often not getting the tea up to a safe temperature to kill pathogens. It's often then let at room temperature until it's served. It doesn't need sugar in it to be a problem— heck, legionnaires disease grows in closed water circulation systems. It's not common, but in the past decade-and-a-half, there have been a few outbreaks in the US. Also, studies have shown that the containers for sliced lemons in restaurant service stations are frequently teeming with fecal coliform bacteria. If they toss lemons in there to cover up the disgusting residual old coffee flavor, even better.

Heathens over here.

So properly made kombucha wouldn't be risky, but as you noted, it isn't always properly made. You can do most culinary things wrong enough to get you sick if you really put your heart into it.
Unfortunately, it's this kind of dismissiveness that's driving people to the likes of RFK Jr. When people don't feel like they're being listened to they'll go out in search of all manner of remedies proven or not. They want answers and often the answer should be "we don't know" along with acknowledging that a patient's experience is valid and should not be ignored. The problem in our healthcare system is that digging deeply into the causes of someone's disease isn't monetarily feasible because insurance companies refuse to cover such deep investigations in most cases. So we have cookie-cutter medicine driven by insurance companies - if you don't fit into a particular standardized bin there's not much help for you. It's often up to the patient to "do their own research" and that has very mixed results.
Many states had to repeal their jaywalking laws during the civil rights movement because police used it as an easy excuse to abuse black people.
To quote Chris Rock: if you're old and you die in an accident, you died of old age, not "that specific accident". If your mind's going, and that makes you do something that'll kill you, your mind going is what killed you.

I feel that nowadays Rust is the language to go when you are doing system programming, but C# is not a bad choice either. With .NET 9 being released in a few weeks we will get NativeAOT (compilation to a native single binary) for x86 (x64 and ARM64 are already available). At work, I'm writing patches for legacy apps and needed to use C++ for most of my tasks. Nowadays, I'm doing more and more stuff in C# and enjoying it. For WinAPI there is a fantastic cswin32 [1] project that generates FFIs signatures on the fly. And it's fairly simple to extend it for other Windows libraries (I did it for detours [2], for example). And using pointers or working with native memory blocks is straightforward and intuitive for people with C/C++ background.

It's a clear right-of-way violation if your bad behavior forces someone with precedence to take action to avoid a collision. If you are a pedestrian, lawfully crossing in a designated place and time, you are the king of the road. Elsewhere you yield.
Possibly simpler to explain that it is just an artifact of using sun dials for timekeeping. Sun dials technically only can tell time accurately during daylight and base-12 is an easy division of a dial (circle).
sbmm wouldn’t fix this, as skill is at the account level and changes slowly.

what does fix this is handcam anti-cheat, which makes it trivial to identify the operator by their hand movement patterns, arm size, etc.

you can review not only the match you are in, but all previous matches. full fidelity replays + handcam = a brave new world.

Moving features out of the core (JS0) would break backwards compatibility and therefore many existing sites.
so the same thing but, characterisic function as I knew them before these posts is a rudimentary 2-variable finite version. point and line (but the line is a curve, a circle because e).

but the new and improved 21st century characteristic functions are n-variable and have a full continious spectrum of variables between zero (false) and one (true) but only potentially lest infinite realizes itself (which would make the theories illogical).

this way of thinking about this makes sense to me, even if it's ever so slighly wrong by some nitpickable point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-generating_function

Show HN: Build a map of your TypeScript codebase with static analysis and LLM
Hi HN! I have been tinkering with the idea of detecting features/concepts in a codebase and decided to build this tool to help make sense of big codebases. Feed it a GitHub repo (private ones too, if you log in), and it can show you a high level overview of the codebase, with pointers to various entry points and core logics, as well as weird concepts within the codebase. The tool only stores the necessary metatdata (e.g. symbol name and line number) but the actual code is not persisted.

It only works for typescript for now as I work on improving the other aspects of the tool. Would love to hear any feedbacks from the community!

Any community smaller than 200 people is going to have you typing !add in an mIRC channel and waiting 20 minutes during prime-time for a pickup game between 10 mismatched players. Any community larger than 200 people is going to be unmanageable cheat wise.

If I had the option of Quake 3 Arena-style "matchmaking" and no cheats, or 2024 matchmaking and cheats I'd choose option 2 every time.

You tend to get catered responses to whatever role you assign in the prompt. This is well documented. Here's a quick example from search results

https://www.ssw.com.au/rules/give-chatgpt-a-role/

"You are wrong 80% of the time" could be misconstrued as an expected role/command, rather than a mere observation.

> let alone that it can force a specific percentage of wrongness.

Ah, I see what you're saying here. I agree. Maybe I should have said that given the prompt, I'm surprised it doesn't give intentionally incorrect answers (full stop)
Kind of sad to see that the library "custodian" as it were seemingly uninterested in fixing the software in question. This may not effect most commercial scanners but the fact that it is even out there in wild is a bit disconcerting to say the least. Just another "brick in the wall" insofar as supply-chain (in)security goes....
Also revisionist is sedentary lifestyle, which still isn't as true in many regions of the world.

For reference, 6.4 kilometers is roughly 8000 steps, which is easily achievable every single day if you do any walking even in small cities.

I'd be surprised if your friend had too much resistance if they were documented as having been treated for Lyme's disease. Not shocked, sadly; but surprised.

Also, I think it is more than just abusing the resources of the doctors. Without perfect knowledge of what you are looking at, studies have shown that more testing can lead to more procedures without necessarily increasing conditions. Look into xrays and back pains. Noting that my knowledge may be out of date, but my understanding is that xrays do not help people recover from back pain. They do lead to patients getting more surgeries, though.

Even this story, how many of the tests and treatments that this person has gone through were useful? It sucks, because I don't think we want to shame people for searching for answers. I do think tracking every pain that you feel could oddly lead you to feeling more pain, though. Look into how focusing on tinnitus makes it worse.

Which is to say, doctors probably get more success than we want to consider by telling people to hang in there and keep trying. We can call it reverting to the mean experience, and that probably is accurate enough. But it greatly complicates this situation.
I just checked, there are a lot of topics it will refuse to generate search results for.

Sure normal search is policed too, but usually not based on moral judgments but on legal necessities.

I recently had some luck turning an excel tracker that lists multiple locations and their services into markdown for RAG. It worked great as a natural language lookup, way better than digging through a big Excel sheet.

I uploaded them through Supabase Embeddings Generator if you're curious.
https://github.com/supabase/embeddings-generator

But things got a bit messy when I handed it off to someone else. They started using synonyms for locations, like abbreviated addresses to refer to certain columns, which didn't return the right documents.

Followed a friend's suggestion to try NotebookLM, so I uploaded the same docs there, and it was awesome. Some cloud-hosted vector DB tools only handle PDFs, but NotebookLM accepted my Markdown and chunked the docs better than the Supabase library I was using. It just "worked".

I would swap over to NotebookLM because their document chunking and RAG performance is working for my use case, but they just don’t offer an API yet.

I also gave Gemini a shot using this guide, but didn’t get the results I was hoping for.
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/multimodal-rag-gemini...

Am I overhyping NotebookLM? I’d love to know to get on-par document chunking, because that seems to deliver fantastic RAG right out of the box. I’m planning to try some other suggestions I’ve seen here, but any insights into how NotebookLM does its magic would be super helpful.

> It's called the "social contract". You do good work and make me money, I keep you around and let you keep doing good work. It's equally a cynical and fair interpretation of a company.

If it's more profitable not to fire someone, because they're making the company money on net — given a big picture perspective — then they don't get laid off. There's no profit in laying off workers who are making the company more than they cost.

Where workers often miss perspective on this is in looking only at the smaller picture. Things can be making money in the small picture while not being profitable in the big picture, e.g. Kodak's film production operations before the rise of digital photography. If the business needs to be building digital cameras and the capital needed to do that is currently tied up in traditional film, the fact that employees working on film production may be profitable on net given the current capital allocation doesn't mean they're profitable in the big picture. And it's often a very, very good thing for society when a company in that position lays off a bunch of people and reallocates that capital, as it would have been with Kodak had they fully committed to digital earlier.

I think learning the specific names and details is a waste of time. That is important information for the patient and their doctor, but not the general public.

It doesnt add any value over the alternative of people having an unspecified chronic disease and requesting X accommodation, especially as accommodations needed or desired vary wildly

To your point, people know the word "cancer" but have no clue what it entails or what accommodations a specific person needs or wants.

People can march around raising cancer awareness, but it is also a pointless performative act for the benefit of the performer.

If you have a sick person in your life and want to be compassionate, figure out what accommodation they actually want or need.
