Yeeaah, have you tried to continue that thought? The lies ... of the politicians ... who are making all that money for themselves ... and their networks/voters? ... what's worse? Other nations going against you and your people or your own government selling you out as cannon fodder and temporary media sensation. Aaaw, sorry no third season, we moved on to another program.
My rough understanding is that it's a very strange environment for the body to be in for an extended period of time, and when you come back, gravity hits you very, very hard.

It seems like they all absolutely would need to have detailed tests when they come back. Whether there was another illness or emergency who knows. But the shock of sudden gravity could trigger things.

I think this type of headline just gets views because people want to believe they made alien contact or something ridiculous.
> but that publishing her results could encourage others to reject conventional treatment and try something similar, says Sherkow.

I don’t see the ethical dilemma proposed here. If patient or doctor exhausts through traditional medicine, and have the financial means and expertise to do “self experimentation”. There is nothing wrong with this. As long as the self experimentation is limited to the patient themselves (1), then there’s no ethical issue.

edit; although with recent change in political atmosphere in USA, there’s probably some group out there that thinks this is “playing god” or some bs.
I think the mistake you are making is transforming the distribution to another one and drawing conclusions from that. For instance, the win rate in the shelf reaching game becomes a Dirac delta function at the right tail of the normal distribution.
> Just goes to show that social & economic problems are harder

Does that mean SMTP and related email protocols succeeded simply because they were really early in the Internet game?
Yes. In the USA the Feds set extremely high sentence lengths (30-50 years is common). They then offer a plea for 5-10. If you don't take the plea and go to trial and lose, your sentence (for the exact same crime and events that they offered you 5-10) is raised to 30-50. It is called the trail tax, you can Google it. In the US a person exercising their constitutional rights is considered during sentencing to be worth more time in prison than the actual crime/acts committed. Because remember, the judge would accept 5-10 as a reasonable sentence for the crime/acts committed IF it was a plea, but sentences to 30-50 if it is a trial. The criminal acts committed are still the same, only in one case the person has the trial tax imposed. Going to trial is considered WORSE than the crime by American judges.
backend does not imply server to me, it implies software that does the calculating engine work and does not concern itself with display refresh.
I used to work with a carpenter from Trinidad. This was in the southern US, and at an employer where I was probably the only college educated person. I recall them as being very professional but able to socialize easily with everyone else, and they were also insanely good at chess.
i wonder what the story was behind the 68000. did they design a cpu core for the future and then wrap it with a compatibility layer to meet the market or was it simply all they had to ship given time and/or engineering constraints.

I am unable to get these things to do anything useful.

I was able to do useful things with these tools from day one of trying.

This puzzles me so much every time reading such. Either I am more stupid than average and I just think the results are more useful then I can come up with, or maybe I have a knack for finding out how these tools can work for me?

When I read such comments I ask myself, do you even use stackoverflow or are you smarter than those results?

I’ve tried a bunch of different models that are essentially different instruction tuning on base models, and that seems to be generally true in my experience. I don’t think you can fine tune your way into a significantly better code model. At best, one that can follow instructions better, but not one that can usually write noticeably better code or solve harder problems.

Sounds more than plausible, and indeed likely. It's also quite possible that Biden's gaffe in calling Trump supporters "garbage", on its own, dinged Harris's campaign more than all the fallout from the Israel-Gaza conflict. Just to give a sense of what really moves the needle in American politics.

literally mesa-Q.E.D.
Sorry, I understand it was a bit intrusively direct. To bring some context, I toyed a little with neural networks a few years ago and wondered myself about this topic of training a so called quantized network (I wanted to write a small multilayer perceptron based library parameterized by the coefficient type - floating point or integer of different precision), but didn't implement it. Since you mentioned your own work in that area, it picked my interest, but I don't want to waste your time unnecessarily.
> We are currently in the process of moving away from tree-sitter and instead using the parsers provided by the languages themselves where possible.

I imagine this means you're trying to abstract over those parsers somehow? How well is that going, and have you written about your approach?

(I wrote `resholve` to identify and rewrite references to external dependencies in bash/posixy Shell scripts to absolute paths. This is helpful in the Nix ecosystem to confirm the dependencies are known, specified, present, don't shift when run from a service with a different PATH, etc.

It builds on the mostly-bash-compatible OSH parser from the oilshell/oils-for-unix project for the same reasons you're citing.

It would be ~nice to eventually generalize out something that can handle scripts for other shell languages like fish, zsh, nushell, elvish, the ysh part of the oils-for-unix project, etc., but I suspect that'll be a diminishing-return sort of slog and haven't had any lightbulb-moments to make it feel tractable yet.

We also have some ~related needs here around identifying hardcoded or user-controlled exec...)
What’s wrong if it’s not new?

And by the way, neural networks aren’t new either.
Not true. Toyota is woefully slow in updating their trucks compared to every other brand.

Tacoma 3rd gen was 2015-2023. Tundra went 14 years! 2007-2021

The F-150 takes about 3 years for a generation.
I did try, but in a wrong way (try to SVD quantization error to recover quality (I.e. SVD(W - Q(W)))). The lightbulb moment in this paper is to do SVD on W and then quantize the remaining.
The whole reason this complicated method was researched is exactly because the traditional injection routes are locked down/easily monitored.

In a previous life where I had to find a way to stealthily inject Chrome (in the presence of good anti-viruses), the solution was to find an obscure type of Windows shell extension which if registered would automatically be loaded by Windows into Chrome without triggering an alert.
Great! We have been working on Windows Process (and COM) injection since 2003 [1][2][3]. I need to talk with the current development team about reviewing it with the EDR-Preloading technique. We have a driver also that suspends a new process before hooking it, we also hook existing processes.

Business-wise our work on this went down once Microsoft Detours was made FOSS even when our products has other capabilities. A good old thread is here [4].

> best effort approach to parsing. This is perfectly fine for syntax highlighting, since the worst that can happen is that a few characters are highlighted incorrectly. However, when diffing or modifying code you really want the code to be parsed according to the upstream grammar, not something that mostly resembles it.

But surely you need to support code that doesn't parse correctly by the actual language's grammar anyway? 'Merge branch fix-syntax-error'

Imo treating traumas with ayahuasca is like treating flu with a baseball bat.
I think I agree with you in this case, but I'm not so sure about a lot of the examples given in that linked article.

BHH Labs: pretty obvious to me it's ethically wrong to find the most desperate people around and pay them less than minimum wage to staff your event...

Uber: yes there was a need here, yes the experience offered by traditional taxis is awful and their service is strictly better where available, that really is not related to the ethical concerns I have with them. They're cheaper because they underpay drivers, and quite often they'll come into an area and drive out all the taxis then all but disappear themselves, leaving the town with zero practical transport options.
I had the same experience, when not using their cloud (for privacy reasons), syncing your docs / getting them off the device is very cumbersome.

This totally breaks my workflow. I also tried jailbreaking, but it's all too finicky.

Yea, Qt is a pain, but so is any kind of porting work.

I've got a medium sized hobby project I work on that has a macOS and iOS version, separate GUIs, but sharing a lot of underlying code. Every once in a while, I think to myself "It would be nice to port this to Windows and Linux, just for the fun of it" and it always goes this way:

I end up reaching for Qt, but getting absolutely mired in things like: creating the .ui file in Qt Designer, making each screen and dialog equal to the original macOS app in features, converting things back and forth to QStrings and QObjects and QThis and QThat, cobbling together UI logic from scratch that we just get for free from Cocoa like bindings and connecting events to Objective C methods.

Then, when I'm absolutely not having fun here, I'll tell myself "OK, let's just create a native Windows application. Hmm, what's the recommended idiomatic windows way to create an application these days? Is it Win32 still? No, is it WPF? Is it UWP? Is it WinForms? Should I use C# and .NET or not? Before I even write a line of code, I'm already exhausted and demoralized.

Then I think, fuck it, let's start playing with Javascript and electron and all these other things that I only read about on HN but never learned or dove into. By the time I'm done yak shaving to get an environment set up and going through "How to declare a variable" tutorials, I'm wondering why not just add some fun features to the macOS app instead...

We'll just force the EU to do what we want or else we take our business to China! Meanwhile, we'll force China to do what we want or else we'll take our business to the EU! Plus we can throw Canada and Mexico into the mix, and show them who's boss.

There is absolutely no way this genius "alienate every viable major trading partner simultaneously" strategy could ever fail. I mean, even if other countries somehow exhibit more intelligence than a turnip and compare notes, this is America! We don't need 'em! We'll just trade with nobody and get super rich until they come begging to our feet.

I have been tossing around thought that her campaign didn't feel like it positioned an opponent/enemy as part of the attempt to appeal to disaffected republicans. I'm not convinced that trotting out officials from the Bush era did enough good among non Trump republicans to make up for how it might have disaffected more left leaning voters.

It seems clear there was a motivation gap with the reduced voter numbers compared to the 2020 election. But for me it is hard to say why, I appear to not exist as a potential voter since the last text I received was somehow related to a Bernie contact list but wasn't even meant for me. Also coming from a state with mail in ballots I don't understand the calculations people do to decide about voting. I drop off my ballot at one of the several locations nearby when it is convenient.

On the motivation issue, yesterday at the store I heard an employee talking to a customer about the election and he said he didn't have money now, and neither of them was going to make a change for him so he saw no reason to vote. The customer agreed and of course they might not have felt their vote would count given where they lived. But I still found it to be interesting to hear so bluntly stated.
Even worse, JAWS is a well-known movie with a 49 year history. I strongly believe the screen reader and the WASM compiler both knew this at the time, quite damning.
I know about Jaws as a screen reader, but I don't think it is much of a conflict. WebAssembly is a niche within a niche (like a tool in a WebAssembly ecosystem within a programming ecosystem), so it will probably never grow to a popularity where it's higher in search results making life of people using screen readers worse. But even now, when you enter Jaws into google now, the whole first page is about Jaws, the movie. So if anyone wants to find either of the projects by name they have to specify it more anyway, just like you often have to do with other projects (for example I always search for "phoenix elixir" instead of just Phoenix). My take is that with the amount of tools and programs there is no way to use simple names and not have a conflict here or there.

Stay with me...

Does anyone else remember the broadband world prior to Google Fiber? It kinda sucked. The ISPs were slow in picking up the speed and reliability. Consumers had littke choice. The status quo ISPs took full advantage of that.

Enter Google and their announcement to get into the ISP business. Those slow moving ISPs suddenly woke up and picked up the pace. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Many say Fiber is failing/failed. Moi? I don't think the business was ever supposed to succeed as a business in the first place. Its real purpose was to light a fire under the ass of Comcast, etc. It's real purpose was to motivate the providers with the threat of competition. In the end, Google got what it wanted. More bandwidth.

Threatening tarrifs very well might be a negotiation move. The USA doesn't necessarily have to or want to raise tariffs, China etc just has to believe it's very possible. From the negotiating standpoint the more fear they have the better deal the USA gets.

Mind you such a tactic can go sideways. Oh course. But the first shots have been fired. The threat made. But don't be surprised if it's not as extreme as promised and reported.
Packaging would have been one constraint, among others. It came in a 64-pin DIP, the largest available and broadly supported at a time. No room for 32 data and 32 address pins + everything else they needed, without muxing which would have eliminated some of the benefits of the wider bus.

After a few days of using Daylight Computer, I have to admit that it solves all the pain points I had with Remarkable 2:

- 60 FPS screen makes a huge difference in reading experience, especially if you want to flip through a PDF quickly

- It's an Android tablet, meaning that I can use my usual programs and don't have an awkward "how do I bring it to Remarkable and back" process

The downsides:

- It's $729 vs $379 for the Remarkable 2

- It's heavier

However, I'm not going back.

The reason why so few developers use model checking tools is because there is limited documentation out there for how to use them effectively. That is changing. Hell, I'm writing a book on the subject.

These tools aren't difficult to use. They just aren't well documented.

I've got better things to do with my afternoon than model check random bits of code in a forum. You wouldn't ask someone talking about a unit testing framework to unit test an example that you write up. If you're curious, I'm writing a book on model checking C, which will be going off to the publisher sometime in 2025. There are also examples online.
