If a civilian gets caught doing something illegal, they are entitled to a fair trial with a jury of their peers. If a military member gets caught doing the same thing, the court martial is a mere formality, they just more or less go straight to jail for a very long time.

Show HN: Building a YT Front & Back End from Scratch
Hi all, well its been a labour of love. I have much more appreciation for the youtube devs after trying to recreate my own version. The benefits of SkipVids.com :

1) No Ads. Skips sponsorship messages too thanks to Sponserblock API
2) Free Background Playback
3) Free PiP (picture in picture)
4) Lite - it uses about 1/5 the resource of YouTube
5) Private - we store nothing
6) View Dislike count, thanks to RYD API (not 100% accurate)
7) Casting is supported when using SkipVids.com on desktop
8) and so much more

Give it a go, its not perfect but its pretty good IMHO.
Show HN: Darkspark – a gallery of interactive PyTorch models
Darkspark is a GUI for your neural network. It allows you to explore a visual, interactive version of your PyTorch code.

I tried all the other options I could find (netron, google’s model-explorer, tensorboard, torchview, torchlens, apple’s mycelium). These are all great projects (I really wanted to use one of them!) but none had all of the features I needed:

Opinionated layout. A layout-engine should automatically expose the underlying logic of the model. E.g. a U-net should look like a "U", see stable-diffusion-v1.5 here https://darkspark.dev/models/?model=stable-diffusion-v1-5

Interactive. Ops need to be collapsible and expandable. Complex models like stable-diffusion won't even load without this.

‘Just Works’ with any arbitrary code. I don’t want to export to ONNX, I don’t want to upload something, I don’t want to manually specify what is the model and what are the inputs. I just want to wrap my existing code in something simple.*

Microscope. Sometimes I also want to explore the activations and attention patterns. Like OpenAI’s microscope, but for your own models. E.g. this CLIP-like model is highly interpretable.
https://darkspark.dev/models/?model=vit_base_patch16_siglip_....

Hosted gallery. Most of what I want is usually a variant of an existing model. It’s often more convenient to just reference a url rather than trace your own code. All the models from timm, and many from the huggingface transformers and diffusers libraries, are available at https://darkspark.dev

Hoping to get feedback on the hosted models before releasing the pip package for local use. Thank you!

* darkspark uses __torch_function__. This allows us to capture all the ops and tensors inside the context of darkspark.Tracer without breaking when it hits dynamic control flow ops that can’t be captured in e.g. ONNX or torch exported_program. We also get access to all the tensors, activation patterns, etc, without using hooks.
That’s only true if they can be coalesced. Even with RPKI an intermediate transit router can path length flap 100,000 routes every 30 second interval.

Depending on the RA interval alone is negligence and if you encountered a small ISP that isn’t dampening your updates directly, their peering session is at risk with any of the major transit providers.

Route dampening guardrails were super common 7 years ago and there isn’t any technological development that fixes what they did so I highly doubt they fell out of favor.
>but I'm really quite uncomfortable to see a large financial services company bragging that it defeated government regulatory efforts and its customers can now freely transact with a money laundering service.

You should, but not becuse of what you said but because it's selective application of the Law; for example this is still being upheld [0] as we speak and clearly innocent people are having their lives ruined for using software on something that only until recently wasn't even considered money by the IRS/FINRA et al.

What you should feel uncomfortable with is the weight of a YC backed crypto exchange, ran by one of the most despised members of the community, being able to skirt around the legal system while others who do not have the political or business clout are held to a different standard in what was deemed 'overstepping' it's powers:

> U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruling, so they can't be blocked under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control "overstepped its congressionally defined authority" when it did so.

PS: Armstrong represents the most reprehensible aspects of the Bitcoin community, but sadly due to a myriad of reasons (connections to banking and VC world being the top of that list) is now a custodial service for most of the non-self custody clients in this space. I cannot emphasize what a terrible outcome this is, and can only hope some good (like Samurai getting let go) comes from this travesty.
Versions are super important on any kv store that deals with concurrency. Without it, you can’t do any kind of concurrency control.
Typically the internal processes to verify what is/is not collected are mandated by launch region, not whether or not the initial version of the software does data collection.
See my adjacent comment to yours. I would like to see why you think dampening is out of favor. Interval batching is not an equivalent protection. If you were playing BGP battleships you were likely playing at a rate where a single prefix was not updating more than once per minute.

That wouldn’t land in the dampening levels that were normally configured that encountered with all of the transit providers.

I agree with all of that, but I don't see what it has to do with this thread of the discussion.

The comment I replied to was wondering what exactly greener_grass was referring to when they said:

> outside of Functional Programming […] How can you "Make illegal states unrepresentable" with mutable state and sequences of mutations that cannot be enforced with the type system?

And my guess was that they had illegal transitions between states in mind. Those are hard/impossible to statically reason about when the program is written as "sequences of mutations" (particularly when aliasing is possible).

Regular has a meaning, and it isn't this. It's had this meaning since the 1950s. OTOH, these expressions do not generate a regular language. That's a good reason to me.

They call it "semantic regular expression" because it apparently already is a lost cause. "Regular expressions with TMs embedded" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Nobody would see it as a regexp.

love it. ive played for about 30 years and this is one of the better shut-up-and-play practice apps ive come across. couple suggestions to get me to come back:

- more scales. i know this is already the plan, but i suspect most users won't be wanting to jam on pentatonic or blues scales. there's already endless content devoted to practicing them since theyre usually the first scales people learn. imo the primary utility of your app is being able to practice scales or positions you dont use frequently. and to that point...

- let me choose which positions to practice. id love to exclude open-position scales, or focus on a particular part of the fretboard.

- when switching positions, show a hint where we're moving. saying that the position will switch but not indicating where isn't all that useful. i want to practice the shift as much as the position, so give me a heads up. it would be particularly cool to temporarily expand the fretboard and highlight the next position.

Simple Decentralized Syndication
It was in C#, not C.

In C they are not standardized but there are requirements on relative sizes.

Since C99 we also have `int32_t` and friends that expose sizes.
This isn't true. Knots are not topological spaces, they are imbeddings, K:S^1 -> S^3 (more generally, S^n-> S^n+2). Therefore there isn't an obvious notion of homeomorphism. What the poster points out is that restriction to the image is a homeomorphism from the circle (because it is an imbedding of the circle)

As maps between topological spaces (and almost always we pick these to be from the smooth or piecewise linear categories, which further restricts them), the closest "natural" interpretation of isomorphism is pairs of homeomorphisms, f:S^1 -> S^1, g:S^3 -> S^3 satisfying Kf=gK. Ie natural transformations or commuting squares.

This gives us almost what we want, except that I can flip the orientation of space, or the orientation of the knot with homeomorphisms, neither of which correspond to the physical phenomenon of knots, so we give our spaces an orientation, which requires us to move to the PL or smooth category, or use homotopy/isotopy.

It used to be that you buy crypto because you're either a true believer, you want to do something illegal and don't realize the blockchain is forever, or you think there's a greater fool.

Between recent sanctions and protectionist policies springing up, I wonder if there's more merit to crypto being a viable way to move large amounts of money outside the traditional financial system. Gold prices spent the 90's in decline, arguably as a peace dividend from the end of the Cold War and economic liberalization.

Maybe crypto is now a bet that there will be more need to facilitate gray market transactions as trade gets harder.

It looks like adding a defcustom that would disable macro expansion, and basically any attempts to eval the code being edited, should not be a lot of work, or at least doable. Disable it in your config, get a nerfed-down but shields-up elisp editing mode.

Am I missing anything here? E.g. should I expect pieces of C code that handle completion in elisp mode?
Appreciate the detailed response, and it seems we are very broadly on the same page.

Assuming no further military push from the West -- do you think the Russian side would acquiesce to some form of "Cease fire along current lines, but no legal recognition of the territorial claims, and no lifting of sanctions or arrest warrants, and no return of seized foreign assets"?

(That's very far from my own ideal outcome, but I'm just trying to get sense of how you see the situation).
> Older computers usually guzzle power, especially if you look at the absolutely awful Pentium4 systems.

Even many Pentium 4-based systems would idle around 30 watts and peak at a little over 100, which is on par with a lot of modern desktops, and there were lower and higher power systems both then and now. The top end Pentium 4 had a TDP of 115W vs. 170W for the current top end Ryzen 9000 and even worse for current Intel. Midrange then and now was ~65W. Also, the Pentium 4 is twenty two years old.

And the Pentium 4 in particular was an atypically inefficient CPU. The contemporaneous Pentium M was so much better that Intel soon after dumped the P4 in favor of a desktop CPU based on that (Core 2 Duo).

Moreover, you're not going to be worried about electric bills for older phones or tablets with <5W CPUs, so why do those go out of support so fast? Plenty of people whose most demanding mobile workload is GPS navigation, which has been available since before the turn of the century and widely available for nearly two decades.

> For a while, this wasn't the case: people were upgrading from 480 to 720 to 1080 and now to 4k.

Some people. Plenty of others who don't even care about 4k, and then why would they want to needlessly replace their existing TV?

> They probably don't; if they're upgrading, they're getting a higher resolution (lots of 1080 screens still out there), or they're getting a bigger screen.

That's the point. 1080p TVs and even some 720p TVs are still sold new, so anyone buying one isn't upgrading and has no real reason to want to replace their existing device unless it e.g. has a design flaw that causes it to catch fire. In which case they should do a proper recall.
If we did we could just stop doing that, but sadly, we don't have that option.

If this works like a warranty, the manufacturer can stop 10 years after selling to the shop. The shop is the one providing the warranty to the user. The shop can oblige their warranty by replacing with a (more recent) equivalent model, even from another manufacturer.
> Except for some Samsung appliances made ~ 2010-2014 which seemed to fail just after their warranties expired.

And? That just sounds like they have good engineers. If you are designing a machine, you have an target lifetime. You'd obviously want the product to last through the warranty period, because warranty claims are a cost to the company.

Every choice of a component affects lifetime. Designers of mass-market products can't just use premium components everywhere -- the mass market will not pay steep premiums for otherwise equivalent products.

Value engineering and planned obsolescence are not the same thing, but they are often confused.

That being said, Samsung appliances suck and I hate them. Mine failed within warranty several times.

> And, with the pressures of multinational oligopolies and BlackRock/Vanguard/State Street.. there is little incentive to invest $100M into a moderately-superior incandescent lightbulb using yesterday's technology that lasts 100kh and 5k cycles and sells for $1 more than the next one.

It isn't that. It's pressure at the shelf that does it. Consumers behavior simply does not reward equivalent-feature products with premium components that claim (true or not) to have a longer lifespan. Unfortunately, they will buy based on their uninformed sense of quality first.

If you release a light bulb that is identical to the best selling one on the shelf, but claims 10x lifespan, your competitor will do something like gluing a weight in theirs, putting some marketing BS on the box, and will put you out of business. Consumers just don't pick products based on actual quality.
Yeah and some animals kill humans, does that mean it's okay to kill humans too?

Right now you can consent to get a malaria vaccine, no covert parasite needed.

If the counter that it is for poorer populations, I'd still say you may want to ask them if they want to be injected with a genetically modified parasite. If one single person doesn't want to be in the area, you shouldn't do it. Would you support them dropping these in your neighborhood?
I don’t think I made the assertion that anyone wants to throw away a social contract.

I said it was in the bin — it has been thrown away, and not by recent Trump voters, but it started long before that, maybe when ethics became something you didn’t learn until or unless you went through a professional program.

Having talked with a few religious Trump voters that I consider intelligent, they have a larger picture of the world, whereas I think a lot of Harris voters (being vaguely irreligious/atheist) are implicitly making the USA their whole world. Trump voters do not see the risk the same way, and have faith elsewhere. For many Harris voters this was an existential issue. That all said, those Trump voters I spoke with still seemed apologetic.

However it came about, there clearly is a misalignment in the stated social values world, and that is why that social contract doesn’t exist anymore. Whether that is because family forces, or tribal forces, or identity forces, or something else carried the day instead, well, maybe the future historians can sort out.

Sure, not interested in changing the past, for many reasons not least of which is that it appears to be impossible. The Python team surely did not go in to Python 3 blindly, but they botched it anyway.

What I mean to say is that Python as a negative example only goes so far, because an example of failure isn't a template for success. So "don't do what Python did" carries limited value for a language looking to make breaking changes. For a language looking to make a major point release, that's the future, and the future can be changed; this is what I'm interested in here.

"Do what Perl 5 did" (and do not do what Perl 6 did, up to the point it got renamed) is a great place to start, however, because it worked, works, is working. Languages are different enough that it isn't a completely transferable experience, but there's a lot to learn there.
