Insightful. One may even say this is “wise.”

To deconstruct…

The “Truth” is a perturbation of existential reality. And the “truth” is a figment of mind. And “integrity” is the consistency between the two. Notice that “truth” does not need to be identical to Truth, only an approximation that does not contradict.

Information is the removal of uncertainty, or the resolve of potential (as distributed among probabilities.) Notice potential and probability are different aspects of the same thing. Potential being an existential phenomena and probability as a mathematical construct.

Science is solely concerned with aligning the mental model of truth with existential Truth. Anything otherwise is the same cult worship as any branch of speculation (even constructive). Science is a guide, it is not the solution for practical understanding (that would be deductive and inductive reasoning.)

Misinformation, ignorance, and confusion are the DEFAULT STATE OF MIND (in a universe governed by entropy, that’s “potential distribution”, not “number of states”, as states are a measured resolve not the possibility of resolve.)

Can people be inoculated against misinformation? Only through self doubt, and doubt of anything that cannot be reliably measured as a resolve.

Undeceive the self! We are all ignorant, confused, and uncertain first, even the wise!

IMO, the firstmost source is your own observations. 3x cube is very tactile, so some moves are just natural.

It helps also to develop some sort of notation for yourself. This way you can track and repeat your moves.

Solving by layers is kinda logical. So solving one side (first layer) is not hard. Then some experimentation with rotation sequences which temporarily break the solved layer/face and then re-assemble it will lead to discovery of moves to swap the edges into the second layer.

The hardest then is to solve the third layer. Again, the notation and observations help charting your way through.

A curious discovery may be about some repeated pattern of moves which may be totally shuffling the cube yet, if continuing it, eventually returns the position to the beginning state. It's kind of a "period".

Have fun.

Using Large Language Models to Catch Vulnerabilities
I mean, it's evidently disturbing _you_, but really I'm not sure why. Today's LLM-based programming tools are obviously not going to replace human programmers. So really all you've got is forward-looking claims from some people who largely have a history of making incorrect forward-looking claims, and/or are making claims about something far outside their area of expertise.
You forgot to mention how much you are willing to pay.
Exact same thing happened to me as well. I now travel very far to go to a dentist that I can trust. It never even crossed my mind that this would be a possibility when I was younger.

> The board must fire Pichai. He has turned the most innovative company in the world into an ad business while ignoring its own inventions, which could have saved it.

But the shareholders and board don't want to innovate. They don't want to maintain innovation. They really ONLY WANT TO EXTRACT returns.

It is paradoxical. The theory of capitalism says that shareholders will want to maintain their golden goose right? Take care of their assets and property right?

But turns out, public shareholders, large funds, and PE investors only want to maximize their return by sucking the life out of a profitable innovative business. Once they have sucked out enough, they move on to the next profitable venture to suck the life out of.

This is the shape of today's capitalism. It is merely resource extraction.

Google is an extremely well-built machine - built with thousands of the best engineers the world has ever seen, with the best products the world has ever seen. To shareholders, this is a giant blob of tasty juice to suck out of.

After years of sucking the life out of it, now that there is an alternative to suck from - treasuries - they are asking Google execs to suck more, faster, or else they'll move on to suck the tax payers - treasuries.

The shareholders and board absolutely want Pichai. They want a CEO who can cut benefits for shareholder returns.
ISO-8859-9 actually does have what I suggest:

FD/49 are lower/upper dotless ı/I

DD/69 are upper/lower dotted İ/i.

There's nothing around the capability to round trip that through unicode that required 49 in ISO-8859-9 to be assigned the same unicode codepoint as 49 in ISO-8859-1 because they happen to be visually identical
That’s great, I hope you find something you enjoy.
> Turbo Pascal was in the running with assembly language for my favorite language to program the IBM PC in the 1980s.

Teaching myself programming as a kid in the late 80s I encountered the limits of BASIC and then Turbo BASIC pretty soon. Everyone I knew was dabbling in Turbo Pascal but for some reason I can't really recall I rented K&R at the local library and went for Turbo C. I got an incredible amount of mileage out of that decision.

Learning x86 assembly was par for the course back then. Everything was so slow and that was the way to get everything out of the machine. I even remember me going to some length dabbling with the timer for the CPU hogging DRAM refresh cycle to squeeze out the last few percent of CPU power that poor 8086 had. Basically moving away from the conservative settings towards a point where the DRAM was just not becoming "forgetful".
That would be comforting if most of human history hadn't sucked so hard.

It's fairly easy to prevent. Accreditation is a legitimization mechanism eminently modulatable by law. When only state schools are accredited and truancy is enforced, there is no other option.

The funding issue is also trivial, local property taxes should be transferred to the state rather than being used directly. The idea that somehow poor neighborhoods should have poor schools is asinine and re-enforces existing class structure.

LLM Security: Keep Untrusted Content in the User Role–Always
Geekbench doesn't really give accurate information (or enough of it) in the summary report to make that kind of conclusion for an individual result. The one bit of information it does reliably give, memory frequency, says the CPU's memory controller was OC'd to 7600 MT/s from the stock 5600 MT/s so it feels safe to say that number with 42% more performance than the entry in the processor chart also had some other tweaks going on (if not actual frequency OCs/static frequency locks then exotic cooling or the like). The main processor chart https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks which will give you a solid idea of where stock CPUs rank - if a result has double digit differences from that number assume it's not a stock result.

E.g. this is one of the top single core benchmark result for any Intel CPU https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5568973 and it claims the maximum frequency was stock as well (actually 300 MHz less than thermal velocity boost limits if you count those).

I’ve heard some amount of agreement among professionals that yes we are, and with things like papers showing Chain of Thought isn’t a silver bullet it calls into question how valuable models like o1 are it slightly tilts my thinking as well.

What seems to be the consensus here?

All businesses seek to diversify to reduce risk. That doesn't mean they have any reason to believe a cataclysmic event for search is more likely now vs before. ChatGPT to search feels like a similar situation of macos is to windows. It may take market share but the ecosystem around Windows keeps it by far in the lead in market share. Also Microsoft diversifying away from windows enabled that market share loss to not really matter all that much.
Is it considered to be offensive though, or is it just a breach of protocol? I don't doubt that there are social circles where it's truly a noxiously offensive word, but in much much more circles, it's just improper or inappropriate to say, which is very different.

Show HN: Ratarmount 1.0.0 – Rapid access to large archives via a FUSE filesystem
Hi HN,

Since my first posted introduction of ratarmount [0], 2 years have gone by and many features have been added.

To summarize, ratarmount enables working with archived contents exposed as a filesystem without the data having to be extracted to disk:

pip install ratarmount
ratarmount archive.tar mounted
ls -la mounted

I started this project after noticing the slowness of archivemount with large TAR files and wondering how this could be because the file contents exist at some offset in the archive file and it should not be difficult to read that data.
Turns out, that part was not difficult, however packaging everything nicely, adding tests, and adding many more formats and features such as union mounting and recursive mounting, are the things keeping me busy on this project until today.
Since the last Show HN, a libarchive, SquashFS, fsspec, and many more backends have been added, so that it now should be able to read every format that archivemount can and some more, and even read them remotely.
However, performance for any use case besides bzip2/gzip-compressed TARs may vary even though I did my best.

Personally, I am using it view to packed folders with many small files that do not change anymore. I pack these folders because else copying to other hard drives takes much longer. I'm also using it when I want to avoid the command line. I have added ratarmount as a Caja user script for mounting via right-click. This way, I can mount an archive and then copy the contents to another drive to effectively do the extraction and copying in one step. Initially, I have also used it to train on the ImageNet TAR archive directly.

I probably should have released a 1.0.0 some years ago because I have kept the command line interface and even the index file format compatible as best as possible between the several 0.x versions already.

Some larger future features on my wishlist are:

- A new indexed_lz4 backend. This should be doable inside my indexed_bzip2 [1] / rapidgzip [2] backend library.

- A custom ZIP and SquashFS reader accelerated by rapidgzip and indexed_bzip2 to enable faster seeking inside large files inside those archives.

- I am eagerly awaiting the Linux Kernel FUSE BPF support [3], which might enable some further latency reductions for use cases with very small files / very small reads, at least in the case of working with uncompressed archives. I have done comparisons for such archives (100k images a 100 KiB) and noticed that direct access via the Python library ratarmountcore was roughly two times faster than access via ratarmount and FUSE. Maybe I'll even find the time to play around with the existing unmerged FUSE BPF patch set.

Google gives you AI-generated slop anyway, so might as well get it at the source.

I already use ChatGPT exclusively when I need information, partly because Google is so bad now, but mostly because it gives me the answer, not just some links that might have the answer. I feel the old web search paradigm is dead, not sure why ChatGPT feels the need to cover that increasingly pointless use case.
> I don't think i've heard the fans a single time I've had this machine and it's been several years.

Yes I agree. I sometimes compile LLVM just to check whether it all still works. (And of course to have the latest LLVM from main ready in case I need it. Obviously.)
> feels like something done to make people dislike higher tax or progressive states

You hit it on the nail. That was even part of the pitch, that it would hit blue states harder than red ones.

Even then, I expect the real goal was just catering to the folks with deep pockets. No attempt was made to hide that -- half the tax 'cuts' expire, but the other half are permanent. Guess which half...
Exactly. The original problem was "people are losing all of their work cause they're not saving." So you autosave every minute or so to a separate "recovery" location, then if the user exits without manually saving, on next startup you give them the option to continue from the last autosave if that autosave is more recent and not identical to the last manual save. Doesn't require full change logging, and only requires one "last autosave" at any given time. IIRC this is how your Word example from the 90s worked.
