There's no point in having third world mechanical turk dens do finishing passes on AI output unless you're trying to make it worse.

Artists are already using AI to photobash images, and writers are using AI to outline and create rough drafts. The point of having a human in the loop is to tell the AI what is worth creating, then recognize where the AI output can be improved. If we have algorithms telling the AI what to make and content mill hacks smearing shit on the output to make it look more human, that would be the worst of both worlds.
Can this be compared to the S&P 500?

Once a week would be a good start. Like practicing jews do.
I believe ultimately we will head towards a situation where anyone can request it at any time for any reason. Gating with health conditions is just to ease the transition.

That said, the great problem in countries with tax funded social and health services is the government have a distinct interest in persuading certain people to jump, and this is a serious moral hazard as some of the Canadian experience has demonstrated.

Today though the UK has the opposite problem, which is an enormous private residential “care” system keeping huge numbers of unwilling near vegetables wired up until they eventually die, transferring as much of the family money to the “carers” as possible. They have an awful lot to lose from this too, so I expect the fight to be a lot nastier from here on.
Yes, exactly, as well as rent-seeking behaviour.
Thunderbolt 5 mostly takes care of the storage problem.
Yes that can work but as I said that has trade offs.

If you flush before the buffer is full, you’re sacrificing throughput. Additionally the timer firing has additional performance degradation especially if you’re in libc land and only have a sigalarm available.

So when an additional write is added, you want to push out the timer. But arming the timer requires reading the current time among other things and at rates of 10-20Mhz and up reading the current wall clock gets expensive. Even rdtsc approaches start to struggle at 20-40Mhz. You obviously don’t want to do it on every write but you want to make sure that you never actually trigger the timer if you’re producing data at a relatively fast enough clip to otherwise fill the buffer within a reasonable time.

Source: I implemented write coalescing in my nosql database that can operate at a few gigahertz for 8 byte writes/s into an in memory buffer. Once the buffer is full or a timeout occurs, a flush to disk is triggered and I net out at around 100M writes/s (sorting the data for the LSM is one of the main bottlenecks). By comparison DBs like RocksDB can do ~2M writes/s and SQLite can do ~800k.
Honest question, if someone is performing horribly, why do they deserve a severance package? Isn't that was unemployment insurance is for?
This is very funny. I just wish the Slack unfurls showed the specific suggestion from the link.
It would probably be easier to clone the existing repository than get an llm to regurgitate llvm.

I didn't mean to imply that syncing between platforms isn't without merit. You
didn't really address the counterarguments that I listed in my post, e.g., that complex media projects require micromanaging files. E.g., syncing a Logic song between platforms doesn't really work if you many GBs of recorded takes, and using many GB third-party sample libraries.

There's a two part problem with Apple's strategy here:

1. They're breaking high-end workflows with these decisions

2. They're not acknowledging how high-end workflows drive lower-end workflows

Here is in my opinion the best piece ever written about how Apple's approach to pro apps changed pre- and post-2010/iPhone, that covers all of these points nicely https://lonelysandwich.com/post/7033868135/fcp-the-new-class but tldr: pre-2010 Apple would have done this by consulting with practitioners on the high-end to build a system they can leverage, post-2010 just builds the new system without consulting anyone and tries to force it on everyone through software releases, this ends up alienating the high-end.
I don't see what. Type fields in structs is more or less the pinnacle of what it means to make things safer in C. :) :)

The same bind() API has to work for any kind of socket: AF_UNIX, AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_X25 or what have you. That any kind of socket pairs with the matching address type, whose type is erased at the API level down to struct sockaddr *. But from the socket type, it is inferred what type it must be and the appropriate network stack that is called can check the type of the address matches.

I don't see how you'd get rid of this with a new bind_ex function, or why you would want to.

Of course we could have a dedicated API for every address family: bind_inet, bind_inet6, bind_unix, ... which is bletcherous.

Strictly speaking, I think we could drop the address family field from addresses, and then just assume they are the right type. The system API's all have a socket argument from which the type can be assumed. Having the type field in the address structure lets there be generic functions that just work with addresses. E.g. an address to text function that works with any sockaddr.
> I was kinda curious if Nazi and German WWII soldier is equivalent.

Try this excersise: Define "Nazi" and then see whether every German WWII soldier fits the definition.

Additional excersise: Define it that way that no Allied soldier fits the definition.

Then check whether the definition makes any sense as a political distinction.

I never came across one.

Great, it's always good to reach a clear resolution.
I don't follow. Using a pipe sets an expectation of some amount of asynchronicity, because we only control one end of the pipe. I don't see a dramatic difference between an error occurring because of the process on the other end is having trouble, or because of a timeout handler is trying to push the bytes.

On the reading end, the error may occur at the attempt to read the pipe.

On the writing end, the error may be signaled at the next attempt to write to or close the pipe.

In either case, a SIGPIPE can be sent asynchronously.

What scenario am I missing?
I get what you're saying. But as the person directly involved, and as someone who has managed people over the years since, believe me when I say that the fault was my own.
I have had periods in my career when I performed poorly, and in virtually all cases the cause had nothing whatsoever to do with the job environment or management. (The real causes included depression and poor coping mechanisms for it, a toxic relationship, and the birth of a child.)
If I steal money, I can get way more done than I do now by earning it legally. Yet, you won’t see me regularly dismissing legitimate jobs by posting comparisons to what my numbers would look like if stealing I.P..

We must start with moral and legal behavior. Within that, we look at what opportunities we have. Then, we pick the best ones. Those we can’t have are a side effect of the tradeoffs we’ve made (or tolerated) in our system.
This feels like a bait-and-switch, especially after taking the time to learn Hetzner and start telling my peers about Hetzner. I understand that pricing structures need to update, but good god existing users should have been kept as-is going forward.

This behavior, and the cute little "cancel anytime!" has made me pause suggesting Hetzner in my circles as I re-evaluate their company.

Have you used Pixelmator Pro? It’s far too complex to shoehorn into the Photos app. It also doesn’t make sense because like Photoshop Pixelmator images don’t necessarily originate from a photo. How do you create a blank document? Both practically and conceptually Pixelmator features aren’t a logical fit for Photos.
Yeah, I don't like these gestures that are tied to a specific day. It's blue tribe signaling with no real sacrifice necessary.

I believe the "minimalism" movement has been far more impactful in the long-run despite fewer adoptees, just by being a trend that capitalized on the benefits in its messaging. Those who optimize for minimalism consume less, but constantly.
Sounds about right. If so many technical decisions are made by a single individual while reviewing PR, rather than having a proper standard agreed upon before hand, it's no wonder that it grows into a horrible code base.

I don’t have an axe to grind either way, other than giving credit where it is due, and vice versa.

My original comment reflected both.

He has done some truly incredible work. He earned his success.

Lately, he is a mess with completely different priorities.

I imagine many employees in all his companies are happier when he is not around these days. And would be happy if he stopped posting opinions, given the downstream impact to their brands.
> Training data is not just about learning facts, but also (mainly?) about how language works, how people talk, etc.

All of that and more, all at the same time.

Attribution at inference level is bound to work more-less the same way as humans attribute things during conversations: "As ${attribution} said, ${some quote}", or "I remember reading about it in ${attribution-1} - ${some statements}; ... or maybe it was in ${attribution-2}?...". Such attributions are often wrong, as people hallucinate^Wmisremember where they saw or heard something.

RAG obviously can work for this, as well as other solutions involving retrieving, finding or confirming sources. That's just like when a human actually looks up the source when citing something - and has similar caveats and costs.

Cedit: A Single-File C Text Editor That Runs Everywhere (Even Your Router)
Cedit is a single-file C text editor that runs anywhere you can compile C code – from resource-constrained embedded systems to PoS terminals. Unlike Vim or Emacs, it uses familiar GUI-like keybindings while maintaining terminal efficiency. The entire editor is a standalone binary that doesn't even require curses, making it perfect for systems where every kilobyte counts. Built on VT100 standards, it brings modern editing convenience to places traditional editors can't reach.
Looking for feedback: I've been using this for firmware development on embedded devices where traditional editors are too heavy. Would love to hear thoughts from others working in resource-constrained environments.
That's funny! And true. Fair point.

But would they be jumping up and down when the dude came into the lab if they weren't looking for that next hit?

Or were they starving those poor creatures? I wouldn't doubt it.

I'll hazard a guess that they weren't jumping up and down because they wanted to take another spin in the new moving environmental element.

Or did they remember that when the dude came in, they could take the new thing to get a whole Froot Loop? Perhaps.
Exactly. Plus you get all the discounts scavenging on excess inventory.
This is a complete reversal of facts.

In fact the Bucharest Summit effectively quashed Bush's efforts and sustained Merkel's objection. Precisely to avoid pulling on Putin's braids. Indeed, she's so proud of her role in thwarting Kyiv's NATO ambitions that she can't stop bragging about it:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3e8y1qly52o

These ambitions were only substantially revived thanks to Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

At which point Russia's objections became instantly and irrevocably moot.
The replies and the lack-of-public-key-private-key understanding here are so bad it's not worth following up on any replies here. Literally have users hung up on "it's a username" instead of understanding what a signed commit is, and how you verify someone owns said key beyond "their username".

I expected better HN.
# Regarding Option A:

HTTP basic auth to gate access to an admin PHP page that contains a custom form that lets one make the required changes makes sense to me. I've done it for some (recent) microsites where I didn't want more technical overhead than it was worth (or where I didn't know how to do better more easily).

The worst that will happen is the web host's PHP gets upgraded and breaks the site, and a computer person has to go in and fix the PHP (maybe with a little help from an LLM). Or, the PHP was insecure and the site gets hacked, in which case I hope the web host had auto backups turned on set at a suitable cadence.

Either generate static HTML files, or render as PHP files that read from a single SQLite db file. No RDBMS dependencies. The PHP writing and reading the SQLite may get updated and break some scripts in the future, but LLMs may be able to fix it even.

One more concept, I stage my rollouts. So, I edit as admin from PHP form, then I can check the changes in the admin section's viewing page to make sure it all looks good. Then, once satisfied, I can promote the updated changes to the publicly visible section. This may be too much effort for your workflow/users, but it gives me peace of mind that I never royally mess something up with this process. I usually don't preview my changes, since I am now confident my scripts work. But I make this available to myself in case I make some weird changes.

# Consider Option B: Think about DokuWiki as a CMS.

Make the pages the site needs. Make a Sidebar page for navigation. Make the settings work for the site. Assign users to admin and editor roles that can edit/create pages and upload media (your PDF calendars) as they require. Make user accounts so only your club can read certain pages, etc.

I think that should be really stable over time. No database to think about. All site content is stored in a hierarchy of files, which could be backed up and restored to a fresh DokuWiki install if ever needed.

For Calendar, I would run a separate system though, and link to that (or embed that). I imagine there is at least one decent FOSS PHP calendar system available, probably available on cheap hosting and installable through cPanel/Softaculous.

If the Calendar ever gets borked, I would just forget about any entries on it, reinstall a fresh Calendar solution, and let required entries get re-made.

# As for hosting

I would pick a "fast" (NVME), inexpensive, and trustworthy web host for the main site and for the Calendar system. Last I checked, r/webhosting was making good recommendations in this regard.
Now the next question is why? Why the houses prices have surged in the past decades. And why is it a worldwide situation (at least in developed countries)?
Everyday is buy nothing day. Then buy only thing you need is food. Clothing, shoes are my only purchase and those are used. Most expensive purchase are glasses which I keep for over 5 years. Stop with the consumerism -> ego -> hubris.

Exactly. Also core to the copyright extremists’ delusional train of thought is the fact that they don’t seem to understand (or admit) that ingesting, creating a model, and then outputting based on that model is exactly what people do when they observe others’ works and are inspired to create.
C++ was the first programming language I ever learned, but I've only written a few hundred lines of it over the last 2 decades. Never professionally.

Can you elaborate on the dangers of doing this incorrectly? What kinds of dangers are there in making a string literal available to a header file.
excessive inventory of items you don't really need but buy anyway
In my opinion, the array should be marked obsolescent, and removed (not necessarily physically, but the name gone from the member namespace). The 14 bytes is not enough for it to be define storage for all types, which is why sockaddr_storage is there. It cannot meaningfully access anything. Implementations could rename it to some __sa_data or whatever name so that the size of the structure doesn't change, if that is important to them.
the situation is simple: the guy that got 1st place with 22% (after being invisible until just 2 weeks before the elections) posted a shitstorm of content (without labelling it as political content), via some obscure hashtags, paid micro influencers to share and post and then sent a lot of bots to comment, share and broadcast. all while the other candidates were not allowed to post anything.

the guy took advantage of tiktok algorithms and manipulated micro influencers into reaching his audience.. everything in 1-2 weeks.

tiktok is not to blame, but it wasn't real democracy.

Lots of people create without getting paid to do it. A lot of music and art is unprofitable. In fact, you could argue that when the mainstream media companies got completely captured by suits with no interest in the things their companies invested in, that was when creativity died and we got consigned to genre-box superhero pop hell.
Kleppmann's Designing Data Intensive Applications is also pure gold.

As I said, a very short-sighted attitude. Four dimensional thinking is harder but not hard. Also, you don’t seem to get the beer/freedom distinction.

Mobile has been won, “Windows Server is dead” (read on this site many times), many desktop tools are floss now, even M$ is writing them. Your small industry not withstanding.
What legal issues are you imagining?
You see this happening in russia these days.

My favourite was from the start of the war when the guys who were supposed to plant incriminating evidence on the scene were they arrested some "terrorists" put the Sims 3 game on the scene instead of 3 sim cards and literally signed the fake documents they planted with "Signature Unclear". (Yes, real story, just search for Sims 3 and Signature Unclear.)

As I understand it I understand this was FSB (or someone elses) way of "getting even" after their boss had been publicly humiliated for proposing to not invade Ukraine. (But that - except for the public humiliation which is well documented - is just speculation on my part although I might have heard it from someone else thinking loud.)

Although sometimes I wonder if it was a genuine misunderstanding. I feel I have unusually many Russian friends and ex-colleagues, people who live outside of russia for good reasons and do not support it. Z-russians on the other hand does not strike me as the brightest bulbs in the box.
too many people and not enough land in areas where people don't have to drive 3 hours to work.

Want pricing to go down then we need to build more dense housing even an hour drive from the city. The days of wanting a big backyard are coming to an end for most home owners.
In our area, it doesn't matter what shape the house is in. Most of the buyers seem to be corporate buyers, and they often gut and rebuild.

They pay cash, too, which many sellers like.
It's not a US firearm, it's a Spanish firearm unearthed in what is now the US.
Hedonic adjustments are important but, as you point out, have issues.

But, affordability isn't represented well by inflation, either. Median family income in 1950 was equivalent to $45k today; the actual number is $100k.

A big part of the issue is that workers stopped benefitting from productivity growth in the mid-1990s. That's what's really made the housing crisis particularly sharp.
Still not that bad comparing to other countries, like those in EU.
There wouldn’t be free markets without the state. So he either doesn’t actually want free markets and wants to run a mafia state like Putin, or he is a complete idiot.
Except LLMs are in no way violating copyright in the true sense of the word. They aren’t spitting out a copy of what they ingested.
Ask HN: Can I download Torrent of a movie legally if I own the DVD/Blueray?
I more and more often find that I pay for movies I already own, because it’s easier with streaming services.
Can I legally download it as long as I already own it?

That way I could make it more accessible within the house for my kids and myself.

And could I take it one step further and make a service where user have to insert their DVD into external drive, then only use a couple of seconds for verification and then activate Torrent download of the same, without lengthy copy process.

If that is legal take it one more step and let the user hand in their DVD for external storage, for a “physical” key (Bitcoin, Ethereum etc) as proof of ownership.
That assumes that Black Friday deals are actual deals and there was no sneaky price increase two days earlier.
It makes a lot more sense than doing the mean.

The typical home is a reasonable basis for comparison.
> as some of the Canadian experience has demonstrated

I live in Canada, and I keep hearing this kind of stuff brought up by Americans.

What, exactly, is "the Canadian experience"?

It would be best if your sources are not American media outlets intended for American audiences they are looking to manipulate.
What a perfect website to launch on my birthday haha.
What people don't talk about is that the good things the new administration achieved came with a big price: an expected drop of close to 4% in GDP. With the expectation of recovering it fast next year. So next year is the turning point for Milei, if the recession ends or intensifies. A shrinking economy with smaller inflation but in recession is worse than a growing economy with higher inflation.

Also the GDP drop should be bigger but the previous year there was the worst drought in the country's history and it relies heavily on agriculture so the economy was already in a terrible state with a paralyzed and incompetent president at the time. Now the agrobusiness is growing strong (compared to the terrible previous year) but not enough to balance against the recessive economic measures to reduce state spending.
I suppose what this illustrates is that, while the CPI does include rent (or “owners equivalent rent”) in its calculation, the equivalent rent is either not representative of the median home, or house prices have grown much faster than rent over the past 75 years… and yet the apparent popularity of being a “real estate investor” seems only to have increased, which suggests to me that the rent/buy ratio has gotten more favorable, not less
NVidia PTX is a very stable interface.

And the PTX to SASS compiler DOES a degree of automatic fine tuning between architectures. Nothing amazing or anything, but it's a minor speed boost that has made PTX just a easier 'assembly-like language' to build on top of.
