Consider that most of the country shifted Right/Republican this election, which is another way of saying ex-Democrats turned Republicans.

Kind of ironically, the Democrats also became the party of neocons and war hawks by inviting the likes of Bush and Cheney.

The Democrats keep moving further Left, leaving normal people behind. You can only play the "world is out of touch" Simpsons meme so much before even that becomes too stupid to bother.
One thing I've learned these past 20 years: when an awful political leader seems to obviously be undergoing a downfall and on their way out of power, you can be sure they'll be there 20 years later. And they'll outlive all of us too, even if they're already geriatric.
Stack Error – Pragmatic error handling for Rust
Stack Error is a pragmatic error handling library for Rust that provides helpful messages for debugging, and structured data for runtime error handling.

Features:

- Informative error messages: stack error messages and optionally add file/line context to your messages. This helps convey not just what went wrong, but also how it went wrong, making debugging faster.

- Programmatic error handling: include optional error codes and URIs for robust runtime handling.

- Library-Friendly: define custom error types easily while staying compatible with Rust’s error ecosystem.

If designing good error structures for your projects slows you down, and you need something more library-friendly and structured than anyhow, Stack Error might be what you’re looking for.
This is like saying that the purpose of a gun is to commit murder. It’s a tool. You can use it for any purpose, including simply reading the code to inspire you to write other software or learn how software is designed.

Especially for media playback tools, to say its main purpose is for crime is as silly as to say a monitor’s main purpose is for looking at Facebook.
I have a Roku and jellyfin.

Some companies don't have a Roku app but you can watch videos on their website.

I guess that through this app, I could stream the videos from the website to jellyfin then to my Roku.

Similar to casting my phone content to my Roku but with the strength of jellyfin's libraries.

Apple: Let Us Be Polymacous
Turns out that we actually do mostly have freedom of expression in the west as long as you don’t pull an Assange. It’s not great but it could be a lot worse.

Permitting legal source code to be banned because wealthy rightsholders don’t like it is a good canary for how widespread censorship has become. We’re fortunately not there yet.
I am the CEO of Akka, formerly Lightbend.

We did a long podcast and a couple blogs that offered transparency to the rationale on why we moved from Apache to BSL, which still downgrades to Apache after 36 months. See Emily Omier for the specifics.

It came down to survival. The company faced a bankruptcy event as customers were using the software without contributions and after exhausting alternatives needed to change the license model to create a more sustainable approach.

The consequence of this choice was that there was less adoption from OSS and ISVs who need a flexible licensing model for embedding and redistribution. It also encouraged the Pekko fork which is a branch that is 2.5 years old. And that branch helped older projects and OSS distributions to maintain their position without financial consequences.

It is not cheap to maintain Akka, and after 15 years we have turned a profit, albeit barely. We are growing, finally, and have a prosperous future and most of our spend goes into development. It did allow us to create Akka 3, which is a simpler model for devs within enterprises mixed with a consumption based model that should be significantly cheaper than the traditional libraries, and cheaper than the cost to adopt most any other framework. We can debate the merits of different business models but we couldn't have maintained the 50 CVE fixes and create a modern version of Akka if we hadn't taken this step.

We need a better strategy on how to appeal to the OSS community once more. To appeal to startups and academics, we have free commercial licenses and subscriptions, which nearly 200 accounts have signed up in the last 18 months.

Author here! What a surprise. This was an abandoned project from 2019, that we never linked or advertised anywhere as far as I know. Anyways, happy to answer questions.
Not really, most of that number is a prediction of future deaths based on data from other conflicts.
Most people, as far as I'm aware, don't have an issue with the idea that LLMs are producing behaviour which gives the appearance of reasoning as far as we understand it today. Which essentially means, it makes sentences that are gramatical, responsive and contextual based on what you said (quite often). It's at least pretty cool that we've got machines to do that, most people seem to think.

The issue is that there might be more to reason than appearing to reason. We just don't know. I'm not sure how it's apparently so unknown or unappreciated by people in the computer world, but there are major unresolved questions in science and philosophy around things like thinking, reasoning, language, consciousness, and the mind. No amount of techno-optimism can change this fact.

The issue is we have not gotten further than more or less educated guesses as to what those words mean. LLMs bring that interesting fact to light, even providing humanity with a wonderful nudge to keep grappling with these unsolved questions, and perhaps make some progress.

To be clear, they certainly are sometimes passably good when it comes to summarising selectively and responsively the terabytes and terabytes of data they've been trained on, don't get me wrong, and I am enjoying that new thing in the world. And if you want to define reason like that, feel free.

It’s not only corruption that can get you into trouble with an adversary who is fishing for trouble, but also mistakes, imprecise language that can be taken out of context, speaking out of ignorance or partial information, unprofessionalism, unpopular opinions, etc.

If you know that anything that you say to your coworkers will be publicized by a third party with the intent to ruin your career, then you either should self-censor to use corporate speak any time you text anyone, or you and your coworkers should delete your texts and emails to reduce liability.

There's a reason QuakeLive didn't catch on and it's because streaming resources to the player makes for awful UX.

Those users also don't know how to compile MS Word from source but they have been getting along just fine with installers.
It says "Grabs the broadcast stream", I think it's suggesting using Jellyfin as a redistribution node for a piece of licenced content (sports games, films etc)

Actually it was more like about a 4 percent shift.

Think about it.
I have used Emacs since 1986 or so, daily since 1989 (with smaller breaks while working at companies where it was not available). I had no idea this exists.

Here is my first CCL program.

(define-ccl-program hw

(loop
(write r0 [72 101 108 111])
(r1 += 1)
(if (r1 == 3) (repeat) ())
(r0 += 1)
(if (r0 < 4) (repeat) (break))
)
)
)

> Sure you can't search for a name of a company or a project and expect it to be related to the company or project. But there's no way to solve that.

There's a way to solve it partially: you can have a special part of your namespace tied to domains and require that eg com.google.some-package be signed by a certificate that can also sign some-package.google.com

Of course, there's no guarantee that https://company.com belongs to the company, but the public has already developed ways of coping with that.

(I specifically suggest doing that only to part of your namespace, because you still want people to be able to upload packages without having to register a domain first.)
They are not bad they just are unnecessary. If your application uses local state, use local storage. If you store session data on the server, identify the user using the Authorization header. Why send arbitrary strings back and forth often with requests that don’t need them. Plus the technology is clearly rotten. They never got namespacing snd expiration right so you can just do weird stuff with them. Also, CSRF wouldn’t be a thing if cookies weren’t. This is like saying “why is finger/gopher/etc. bad?” They are not exactly bad but they are obsolete.

Really disappointing news. The spoiler effects in plurality voting are just so objectively non-partisanly bad that it's hard to justify keeping it. (Especially when you can expect everybody running the election is able to read and write and do math.)

For marine applications, I think propane fuel cells will work better than batteries. Unlike batteries, energy density of liquified propane is good. Unlike hydrogen, logistics of propane is solved by now as it’s already widely used to fuel vehicles.

Currently people usually burn propane in combustion engines, instead of oxidizing in fuel cells. In theory, fuel cells are more efficient than combustion engines.

There’re commercially available fuel cells used for marine applications https://wattfuelcell.com/ however it seems low powered, not enough power for propulsion.

And there’re different ways being researched to synthesize propane: some biotech bacteria, traditional industrial chemistry with new catalyzers like trimolybdenum phosphide nanoparticles, etc.
What would you say is the main difference between your and other products that do not use BSL?

Think about the crusader states[!] and Taiwan. You'll see a pattern there. Israel was important for the British, now the Americans and will be important for the next hegemon. It's a very old strategy used by empires to control whole regions. Having a whole "country" beats having a military base or an air-craft carrier by orders of magnitudes.

No need for the web in that case, which is inefficient. You can do with like those 1MB installers and stream those assets.

Which the majority won't. People don't even go in their phone settings, apart from connecting to WiFi and changing their wallpaper.
I agree choosing priors is hard, but choosing ReLU versus LeakyReLU versus sigmoid seems like a problem with using neural nets in general, not Bayesian neural nets in particular. Am I misunderstanding?
How would you use the Authorization header to implement server side session data?
You're right, the chain of bad decisions goes even further back.
The `field` keyword also already existed in C#, to add attributes to the backing field of automatic properties, so I think the argument was easier there.

I used it in Unity projects to have serialized/inspectable values exposed through properties:

Assume that 100 % of the time when someone speaks of GDP, they're speaking of GDP at purchasing power parity per capita.

And you can assume that 100 % of the time when someone speaks of the size of their gas tank, they're really talking about MPG while in cruise mode.
I have a general rule that I don't trust people's self-evaluation of morality. It's been my experience that even objectively very bad people will say that they are good people forced to do bad because of bad conditions. Nonetheless good people are forced to do bad things by bad conditions. Whether it is one or the other isn't usually determinable from the point of view of the participants.
Also it goes much deeper than that. They were many masscres in Palestine before october 7th, and in Israel as well... A solution would necessarily involves less violence, not more, and at this very instant Israel is the one doing most of it.
> it needs to be balanced by making the penalties for companies engaging in vexatious and/or abusive litigation and vexatious discovery tactics very, very harsh. Megacorps would dislike both of those things happening to them, so we'll never see it.

Megacorps are the leading practicioners of abusive and vexatious litigation, often against small litigants who can't afford to defend themselves.
The issue is, it's likely that a company with $2 BILLION spent on product development and a very deep relationship with Apple, like Unity, will have success using WebGPU the way it is intended, and nobody else will. So then, in conclusion, WebGPU is designed for Unity, not you and me. Unity is designed for you and me. Are you getting it?
Same with accidents involving nuclear power generators (and their waste). Most people on HN won't have the chance to engage in Slotin's flavor of bravado... But the kind involved in recklessly, breathlessly advocating for nuclear power? Quite common, here.

I don't mind the browser using the GPU to speed up graphical operations. But I do mind random sites and apps going further than that. Native apps have better access, but there's an higher selection criteria than just opening a URL.
The typical responses you'll get here are summed to as "sucks to be you". The attitude of allowing larges places to have opaque processes for termination of a business relationship is staunchly defended here. To the point that you have no idea if it was even legally allowed for them to terminate the relationship. Just because you're a business doesn't mean you can absolutely refuse service for any reason at all. I also find it kind of funny that the same people would largely not grant the same rights to someone who refuses to decorate a cake in Colorado. Even though there's likely hundreds of other cake shops and decorators they could go to.

This is one of those situations where most people will never care or they will blame you until it happens to them. This is absolutely something we need the legislation or at least the FTC to be involved with to greatly curtail these terms of service based things. Especially if you're in a business to business relationship this should be governed by a contract and not a one-sided terms of service which may or may not be legal and you had zero negotiating power in. With a contract there is actual specific provisions and methods required to terminate the contract early. Those things must be documented and defensible but terms of service is just good luck.

The most laughable but also the most common argument in defense of these one-sided terms of service that I see from hacker news people is if they tell you exactly what you did wrong and gave you a chance to remediate it then you could work the system and not do that anymore. I thought that was the whole idea if you know absolutely what is right and what is wrong you can avoid doing what is wrong. But apparently having a guessing game what is appropriate and why it is appropriate and what is not and why it's not is par for the course for the vast majority of hacker news people.

Is this a business or is this a dating relationship?
Any thought what you should have done differently, with the information available at the time?

You sue in your local small claims court because that's where you live and are affected. The question becomes what business loss you suffered as a result of this.
Hmm, good point. I'm not 100% sure i agree - i think it depends on what the conditions were, there could be non-bargaining conditions, but you've convinced me that is a plausible way to read it.

> Parties to conflict are expected to facilitate aid, not just allow it, and definitely not set conditions.

I think they are allowed to set some conditions, they just can't be arbitrary or prevent aid. Like they can set conditions around checkpoints, inspections, where aid can enter the country, as long as it isn't arbitrary or impedes the aid. (Obviously the ICC is implying something much different than those types of conditions)

Oxide is providing an x86 platform to run VMs/containers on. That's a commoditized market.

The value they're offering is that the rack-level consumption and management is improved over the competition, but you should be able to run whatever you want on the actual compute, k8s or whatnot.

This also means you'd not be forever reliant on Oxide.
Funny world where a feature to prevent infinite recursion -- at a moment in the runtime lifecycle where that would make sense -- is somehow viewed as dangerous footgun magic (addresed to: several replies under this comment).
> The FireWood backdoor, in a file named dbus, is the Linux OS continuation of the Project Wood malware...

Where is the backdoor coming from? If there's a backdoor, something is backdoored. An unknown exploit installing a rootkit and using a modified file, like usbdev.ko, is not a backdoor.

Which pakage / OS ships with the backdoor?

Or doesn't the author of TFA know the definition of a backdoor? Or is it me? I mean, to me the XZ utils exploit attempt was a backdoor (for example). But I see nothing here indicating the exploit they're talking about is a backdoor.

It reads like they classify anything opening ports and trying to evade detection as "backdoors".

Am I going nuts?

You should try Chillin(https://chillin.online), browser-based video editor. Powered by WebGL, WASM, and WebCodecs, Chillin provides a full suite of video editing capabilities on the web. Trust me, Chillin is smoother than most native video editors, even on mobile. I believe Chillin can leverage WebGPU to bring even more powerful rendering features.

Yes, running LLMs on the web may not have significant advantages due to the speed limitations, but other models, such as those for bg removal, speech-to-subtitles, and translation, could become practical and efficient thanks to WebGPU.
You have a shallow understanding of economics and the stock market. Sorry but your cynical view is not something that generalizes to stock buybacks. And the example of taking a loan out can be financially sound. Using debt when cheap to deploy capital can be beneficial.

I don't understand this perspective. I don't buy an iPhone for "social status", or "tech fashion." I buy it for the features. Those of which Android has no analogy.

This is not meant to be an Android vs iOS debate. I am trying to point out that your perspective is incredibly dismissive of the real reasons iOS is gaining market share.
I agree that Bayesian neural networks haven't been worth it in practice for many applications, but I think the main problem is that it's usually better to spend your compute training a single set of weights for a larger model, rather than doing approximate inference over weights in a smaller model. The exception is probably scientific applications where you mostly know the model, but then you don't really need a neural net anymore.

Choosing a prior is hard, but I'd say it's analogously hard to choosing an architecture - if all else fails, you can do a brute force search, and you even have the marginal likelihood to guide you. I don't think it's the main reason why people don't use BNNs much.
> Also prices don't make sense for us.

Oof.
>There’s no reason to imagine that the web will do bad things with your resources that you didn’t ask for and don’t have control over.

The web is like this right now. Why would things magically become a utopia?
I support all of the above ideas.

Perhaps, with a slim syntax, the backward compatibility is ensured by new constructs not altering the semantics of existing types. It does however, admit improving the implementation and providing extensions.
