Docker doesn't solve that problem
Not particle board (as mentioned in the article) but sheets of inexpensive Chinese plywood I picked up had a very strong formaldehyde smell. I had never smelled that in plywood before (or at least so strongly).

I've sworn off particle board in my shop decades ago (for reasons having nothing to do with formaldehyde) but quickly added cheap Chinese plywood to the exclusion list.

I have resigned myself to opening my wallet for the expensive stuff (that costs over $100 for a 4' x 8' sheet, Europly, etc.). Europly at least seems to be formaldehyde free.

The future of data isn't just about #TransformerModels or #BigDataTransformations - it's about their powerful integration! As we shift from CPU-centric to CPU+GPU collaboration, the next-gen ETL architectures like #ApacheSeaTunnel are set to revolutionize how we process and analyze data. Embracing AI-enhanced capabilities, we're moving towards a more intelligent, standardized, and open data processing era. Read more about this transformative journey.
It's down to engineering culture at that point. We have a weekly process where we merge those PRs and including any that are failing. It doesn't suck up much time at all, but our stuff is always well maintained with few surprises lurking. The side effect of this type of culture is high quality test suites and pipelines that you have very high confidence in and are executed frequently and quickly. It's overall been a far better experience than just letting stuff rot.

With separate items, one can put the router somewhere that a router makes sense for routing's sake, and the access points where they make sense for wifi's sake.

My router is on a shelf in my unfinished basement, along with the cable modem and a switch, not far from the other household infrastructure. It's a great place for a bunch of cabling (nobody will ever see it unless I deliberately show it to them) and it is trivial to get more wires to that location.

But the basement is a terrible place for a wifi access point, being underground and all.

So for wifi, I've got a fairly unobtrusive access point (a Mikrotik wAP AC) mounted on a central wall on the first floor, with PoE. Unlike the way that home routers are normally used, this access point only has one wire connected to it, and all it will ever need is exactly one wire.

And if I ever want to upgrade that central switch (maybe I grow some plans for some serious NAS usage or something and 10GbE starts making sense), I just... upgrade it. The router stays the same, the wifi stays the same.

If I ever want to make Wifi faster, or add more of it, I just upgrade that part.

All of these components (router, switch, access point) are necessary for the way we commonly use our home networks in 2024. It's nice having things located where they're most useful, and it is also nice being to change individual parts of the system when that is useful.

Pretty sure they are talking about inference in the post you are responding to. Training the model obviously needs far more compute, but running them locally is what most devs are interested in.
It's interesting how there are so many papers published in this space but they all tend to use these same few images (the webcam chessboard, the two buildings, and the diagrams). I've been looking into how to reliably stitch video frames into "orthographs" (similar problem is faced by aerial surveys; there is a lot of good work on this from the drone community) recently and have read probably two dozen recent papers spanning homography, photogrammetry, feature detection, sfm, nerf, and segmentation and most of them reuse these diagrams and at least some of these images.

Maybe the world would benefit from some more well documented, open licensed training/validation data?

I think anything requiring strong reasoning will probably have issues. However, I think most Enterprises is only interested in knowing that the summary of a document doesn't contain hallucinations, which I think most models will probably get right. If you go by a super majority rule and use 5 models, I think most business will be satisfied that the summary that it was given doesn't contain hallucinations.

However, like you said, we are dealing with a non-deterministic system so the best we can hope for is a statistically likely answer.

Just want to mention that these standalone python builds have been super important for simplifying a lot of dev tooling, even if users may not see it directly — I work for a cloud infrastructure company, and they’re what allow us to give users a one-line way of adding Python to any Docker image they desire. It’s helpful to have reproducible, standalone Python builds of this quality (and release transparency). Thanks y’all for taking this on.
Gemini got this right and also wrong. It gave me two possibilities, one of which is the correct answer, and the other is a complete nonsense answer about the surgeon also being the woman’s son.

I tried again and it gave three possibilities: the surgeon is the father, the surgeon is the mother, the surgeon is an uncle or cousin. Kind of bizarre, but not just pattern matching on the riddle as ChatGPT and Claude did for me.

Except e.g. in Hebrew, you almost certainly have bidirectional text. E.g. numbers in a text still follow LTR. So if you press backspace, you don't always want to delete the text to the right.

Now add to that the fact that nobody wants to build a new editor for every single language, and there you go - all of that gets rolled into a common approach. It's hard to impossible to get right. (Because what you want also depends on context, not just language - URLs demand different behaviors with BiDi than text does)

Even if we wanted to build different editors, as soon as you start quoting things not from your preferred environment, guess what, you have mixed environments and need to start thinking about BiDi

It's a gargantuan mess. Nobody is really getting it right, we're just trying to get closer and closer. (And if you want to see folks in the field pulling out their hair, mention you'd like Boustrophedon writing ;)

Congrats! This stable release is huge.

I built my (unfortunately) failed startup using LiveView for ~18 months. It was actually really good to work with and a great product experience.

I ended up integrating React into it as well for some particularly complex / mature libraries (react-grid-layout, WYSIWYG editor). Pretty seamless connection to backend LiveViews, and I tried to keep everything in LV as possible.

The biggest difficulty was hitting problems that I had solved 50 times in React, and had to solve from-scratch in LiveView. Once I figured out a problem, I could re-use it easily.

Thank you Chris and the Phoenix team for all your amazing work! I’ve been using LiveView in production since only a few months after the first version was released in 2019 and it’s been fantastic from the very beginning and a joy to develop with :-)

Yep. It helps IA that there are people keeping track of old URLs and making sure that they get added to the store.

One thing they've added to their extension lately is a count of how many times a page/site has been saved. If one finds a great resource with a no- or low-count, it can be added at your request; sometimes it will ask if you want to save the page.
Yes, everyone knows the best way of making a product not suck is to give up and never try again.

Quoting what you heard off your telescreen is not convincing. For one, what “certain cities” are you even talking about? Are you referring to blacks being pulled over in black-majority crime-heavy areas? And I have never heard of stigmas against naturalized citizens. As for the vague allusion to abortion, I’m not allowed to kill a baby after it comes out, so why should it be legalized for the mother to? Especially when, if she doesn’t want a child, she can simply get an IUD, or simply take birth control and morning afters?

That quote is from ~2012. I’d say it’s held up pretty well in the following decade.
Habits do not have the internal, loud blaring horns of physical reminders for most people / anyone.

You gotta pee? You __know__ you have to pee, unless you automatically relieve yourself, and if that's the case, that's quite abnormal.

I feel like this is one of those situations where you need to realize that some people - and on this issue, the research says *most people* are not like you. They are different. It really, truly can be as simple as that. Recognizing that people are different and have different needs and struggles is difficult for a lot of people, but still very important.

Think of it like ADHD. The solution for a person with ADHD is not "just use more alarms" or "just get good".
Just the fact that you had your credit report pulled for a loan qualification is immediately sold to ad brokers by the credit bureaus, who will sell it on down the line to less and less scrupulous buyers. It's not surprising to me at all that you got a scam call about a loan while you were in the process of legitmately applying for a loan.

I now ask businesses like these "what number will you call me from" and I put that in my phone as a contact, so that my phone will ring. If they call me from any other number I won't see the call.
"Funny thing is historically speaking 40 is a lot closer to the useful human lifespan than 100."

That isn't really true. Life expectancy was historically driven down by high infant mortality and lack of medicine. The meaningful human lifespan has been in the 70s for the majority of history. (Lifespan is different from life expectancy)

"So this strong belief of yours is really driven by advancements in society and healthcare over the last few decades."

Who says it's a strong belief?

"Why do you think that won't change drastically another few decades from now?"

Because there's no real evidence to support that. Life expectancy hasn't gone up drastically over the past 50 years. Rates of chronic illnesses, including things like dementia, have gone up drastically. So even if people are living a couple years longer, they're generally sicker and it's costing more. Even if medicine makes drastic improvements, 100 is still a lofty goal. I'd be fine making it only 80 too. I'm actually skeptical that will even happen. What I do know is that I don't want it to take more than 100 years.
Claude Sonnet also gets it right, but not reliably. It seems to be over aligned against gender assumptions and keeps assuming this is a gender assumption trick - that a surgeon isn’t necessarily male. This is probably the clearest case I’ve seen of alignment interfering with model performance.
Congrats on the release! I really like what you've done here. Making existing professional trading tools more accessible is a great path.

I'm especially intrigued by the use of AI to analyze the Risk Factors section. I've been working on a tool to SaaS increase sales by combing through 10-K Risk Factors and seeing which companies, industries, markets make the best sales targets. It becomes a matching algorithm between the value levers of the SaaS solution and the needs expressed in the Risk Factors section.

Do you have any plans to incorporate economic data from the monthly releases by BLS, BEA, Census, Federal Reserve, etc.?

Show HN: Belief.garden – a social network for civil discussion
Hi!

Initially, belief.garden was a questionnaire on various civil discussion and philosophical topics, where one could create a profile.

I made this site a few months ago, and today I added public discussions, notifications, a global activity feed, and a moderation system, which actually makes it a social network.

Please take a look and tell me what you think
Yes, and no. It depends.

On the one hand, yes. Turning fun into work can rob you of the pleasure part. I do ceramics in as a hobby and it's fun. I'm not terribly good. The fun is in the random creation and seeing how it comes out. If I had to make 100 pots the same I'd go mad. I made one piece on commission and I didn't like that.

On the other hand, I started programming at 12 years old. I got my first programming job at 22. By then I was well practiced at my craft, and I loved the work part - the completion of projects, the conforming to customer requirements etc.

Thirty-something years later and I'm still programming. I still enjoy it. It still gets me out of bed, and it still challenges me. I've made a career put of doing something I love, and that's a huge blessing.

So yes, it can kill joy in something you love, or it can lead to a fulfilling career getting paid for doing the thing you like most. The latter though is a rare gift most of us are not given.

Congrats to everyone involved!

LiveView is one of those things that almost seems like it was "discovered" rather than invented. Like, in the early days Phoenix was just a "better rails", but it had this neat little "channels" functionality that Rails couldn't really manage because of ruby limitations. But "channels" gradually got fleshed out and then lo and behold an early version of LiveView was built on it. But while LiveViews were amazing, they were kind of disjointed with the more standard static views (or "dead" views as the community often calls them, which I really dislike). And over time things were updated so you could share code between live and static views, finally culminating in Phoenix 1.7 which has a whole new layout and philosophy on building web apps.

Phoenix 1.7 feels radically different to me from everything before, and a clean break from its Rails tradition. But it all kind of got there incrementally in ways that make sense. It feels like as soon as Elixir was created, this new way of organizing and building web apps was there all along in the rock, it just took a decade of chipping away at it to reveal.
