This seems great. Unfortunately, I will only recall it exists once I am into minute-unknown-but-way-too-long-for-comfort while waiting for a command to complete.

Edit: Maybe you should highlight the trailing pipe example (eg `ping localhost | grep icmp | ets`)? That is way more convenient to use than the introductory samples indicate. Being able to slap it onto the end of a pipeline I am developing feels less invasive than potentially have to quote my command for the sake of a debugging tool.
From the description, these are rent-a-scammers, who convince people that renting their all in one scam platform is a great deal. It probably isn't, or they'd be doing it themselves. It's a good deal if you place a premium on feeling clever from scamming people, and don't care about the risk of getting hit by the police, or by rival would-be scammers eager to show they're more tough criminals than you.

It's the lifecycle of a scam. Once it really isn't worth the effort anymore, it gets packaged up and sold to stupid kids.

Most of the time, all you need is Walmart and Meijer, and you can also find those in Richmond, along with a decent number of other big-box stores and clothing stores and stuff. But yeah, Lexington is definitely a popular shopping destination.

Back when my grandparents lived in Richmond, we would go to Lexington for the mall (not the green roof one, the real one), because Richmond's mall was a decaying husk even in the 1990s, before Walmart moved out next to it, Sears went under, etc. I was surprised to see that it is still open, but I digress.

For context, Walmart employs about as many people in Lexington's three superstores and one neighborhood market as Lexmark does. Losing 2k jobs in a city of 320k people would not be catastrophic. And most of those jobs probably don't overlap with Xerox's business anyway, so I wouldn't expect that to happen.
Did you catch the part that most of the plasticware had zero flame retardant?

Rather they were just a few outliers that completely threw the average off?
This is precisely the sort of situation where taking the average is an awful way to ignore injustice - the poor get much poorer and the rich get much richer but everything is ‘neutral’ on average.

“There is no ethical X under capitalism” is not license to stick our heads in the sand and continue to consume without a second thought for those who are being exploited. It’s a reminder that things need to change, not only in all the little tiny drop-in-a-bucket ways that individuals can afford to contribute.
Yeah, like our incoming president.
> No, it's one of the worst languages I ever used.

That says more about you than the languages you've used.

C++ is one of the top 5 languages used in production. This is true still today, with so many specialized languages to pick and choose. No one had to hold a gun to anyone's head to get them to adopt it. How do you rationalize that if your opinion had any substance or merit?

For the sake of argument, I assert exactly the opposite: C++ post-C++11 is the absolute best language ever devised by mankind, bar none. Am I wrong?

> Tons of footguns and bad design choices everywhere.

Please go ahead and point out the single most egregious "foot gun" or bad design choice you can possibly imagine. The worst. This will serve to show the world how well thought through your opinion actually is.
That's not a technical requirement; you could simply have a government-verified official public key. You could "log in" by signing a challenge message with your private key. The government would have no log that you'd even used your official government ID.

Fully agree on consistency, unfortunately I realized after a while that my anxiety was preventing me from being consistent and after getting some medication, I was able to get back into all these habits.
Do you have programming experience? I probably didn't explain well, what I meant is that if you have zero relevant experience it can be difficult to verify correctness.

For example, I'm comfortable with frontend development but hadn't used webworkers or websockets. ChatGPT was useful for getting up to speed quickly. I've had less luck with topics that are completely new to me, one example is coming up with a training regimen for long distance running. I have to manually verify every little thing, which ends up taking longer than doing research the old fashioned way.

I'd be surprised if you could go from zero to a useful CV app with LLMs, but it's possible I just haven't given it a fair shake.

Nissan made overbuild cars all the way to nineties. Not bulletproof, there were plenty of oversights and bad decisions (Patrol RD28/ZD30), but mostly they at lest tried to build tough.

Then Renault financial engineering brought us uninspiring cars for rental fleets. Most models build to last lease period/100K miles and not much more. After that its engine/CVT gearbox swap/rebuild.

I agree with these points, but all I'm saying is that "logical reasoning" is based off an understanding of the problem without inside information. This is sometimes useful, but when we're talking about actual numbers - and not ones that are made up based on general knowledge - I generally believe the person with specific knowledge over someone without specific knowledge.

This can be challenging in the decision making sphere, or when events are unpredictable (planning, stock trading). But it would be weird if we didn't allow for deference to people with actual specific knowledge and experience over those who are just surveying from the outside.

Even further, maybe what you're saying is true under general assumptions, for 90% of companies. However, how do you know there aren't outliers for whom the assumptions do not hold true?

Not to be too blunt, but what evidence or information do you have that makes this more than an "armchair quarterback" situation? Have you experience in this particular field to such an extent that it can be extended as a functional rule within the industry, or are you expecting it to behave like physics? We can't just take general principles and assume they hold true in specific circumstances - that is what makes this kind of work so hard.

Love the weather forecast on the coffee machine. Like so much 2000s tech, such a weird luxury that seems less useful and more experimental.

I do wish there was more openness in FM band technology. As a young ham, HD Radio and DirectBand were both interests of mine — ubiquitous and extensible layers on existing tech — but were so commercial that they will be/were phased out before we get anything substantial to be open.
It seems that they can only turn stuff into other stuff if it starts with the same letter. That space is ripe for disruption!
Partly true but I don't think they would (or should) just ax those departments. By merging those departments will be taking on more work too, so they will not need everyone but they will likely let some people go.
What LLMs can do is limited, they are superior to wet-wear in some tasks like finding and matching patterns in higher dimensional space, they are still fundamentally limited to a tiny class of problems outside of that pattern finding and matching.

LLMs will be tools for some math needs and even if we ever get quantum computers will be limited in what they can do.

LLMs, without pattern matching, can only do up to about integer division, and while they can calculate parity, they can't use it in their calculations.

There are several groups sitting on what are known limitations of LLMs, waiting to take advantage of those who don't understand the fundamental limitations, simplicity bias etc...

The hype will meet reality soon and we will figure out where they work and where they are problematic over the next few years.

But even the most celebrated achievements like proof finding with Lean, heavily depends on smart people producing hints that machines can use.

Basically lots of the fundamental hints of the limits of computation still hold.

Model logic may be an accessable way to approach the limits of statistical inference if you want to know one path yourself.

A lot of what is in this article relates to some the known fundamental limitations.

Remember that for all the amazing progress, one of the core founders of the perceptron, Pitts drank him self to death in the 50s because it was shown that they were insufficient to accurately model biological neurons.

Optimism is high, but reality will hit soon.

So think of it as new tools that will be available to your child, not a replacement.
That is true. I don't think anyone routinely did that instead of using canned air or something like that, but it was absolutely on the table for more substantial messes. Spill a can of soda into your keyboard? Run that sucker through the washer.

It's a sad thought to say no real change can be made by the people doing the harm and it needs to be fixed from above.

It is certainly possible to turn off the orphan crushing machine. Yes, there are consequences but I don't think we should act like it isn't possible. At the end of the day corporations are people and we choose these things.
You can do it today. Don’t run the heated dry and put it in with the keys facing down. Run it and take it out and leave it upside down over night on a towel. Let the connector hand down as well.

Basically: no. The construction of the Model M disallows removing the backplate after the assembly is removed from the case. On the Model F, however, the backplate is not attached with plastic rivets, and had no rubber membrane that could trap liquids, so after the electronics were removed, it is feasible to wash it in a dishwasher. Inadvisable to say the least, if you want your PCB to remain non-warped.

Ah yes. I've had to repair one of the Dallas ICs before. You have to dig out a dremel and bite down till you get to the metal then add some hook up wire. Unlike OP I chose to use rechargable batteries that used to be used for home wireless phones - they are the right voltage and often they supply a battery charger.

If you're lucky you can desolder the the old battery and use a couple of pin headers to get you back up and running. I do find it irritating some retro machines wont even boot without a working battery.
The problem were not the flame retardants per se but the black plastic added from other recycled electronic devices to get the black color flame retardants.

Or they can develop a RoCEv2 that works (which is basically what UltraEthernet is).

Infiniband is not fun - it's a special snowflake of an interconnect that sits parallel to the rest of your datacenter network, and can not really run a standard TCP/IP codebase (yeah IPoIB is a thing but still). Do the Nvidia boxes really need a scale-out IP network as well as an Infiniband network?

Plus the spec is old. Packet spraying and trimming, better ordering guarantees, queue pair scalability... a whole bunch of enhancements have been incorporated into UE all the while being compatible with regular Ethernet.

Qlogic was never really an Infiniband vendor --- their qib driver is still in the Linux codebase and essentially emulates verbs on top of a messaging-based design.
This just feels like mystery meat to me. My guess is that a lot of legitimate users and VPNs are being blocked from viewing sites, which numerous users in this discussion have confirmed.

This seems like a very bad way to approach this, and ironically their model quite possible also uses some sort of machine learning to work.

A few web hosting platforms are using the cloudflare blocker and I think it's incredibly unethical. They're inevitably blocking millions of legitimate users from viewing content on other people's sites and then pretending it's "anti AI". To paraphrase Theo Deraadt, they saw something on the shelf, and it has all sorts of pretty colours, and they bought it.

There is no rule that requires "programming in C++ proper" being equal with using 100% of the language standard.

There is a middle layer, without having to keep repeating all the security flaws of coding in plain C.
On the flipside, blindly accepting industry safety standards is how we ended up with lead paint and asbestos everywhere. Insufficient evidence of harm is not the same as proof of no harm.

We can live in a world of nuance where we refute the specific claims of this study while still making choices to proactively avoid potential harm from plastic products. Many other valid studies are finding microplastic in our bodies and environment at levels we didn't remotely suspect before.
One of the unfortunate realities is that sometimes you need to be exposed to how grim reality can be as the alternative is living in a delusional bubble. However, one of the underlying points I was getting to is that often what is considered 'acceptable exposure' is highly politicized simply because control is attempting to be absolute and all encompassing. To me, comes across as overtly paternalistic especially when you start looking at the contradictions of 'good bad' vs 'bad bad' and why it is the way it is. I find it disappointing that we aren't allowed to self-censor, and even if we wanted to there simply aren't the tools available necessary for empowering people to make their own decisions at the point of consumption, but rather we employ filtering at the point of distribution which shifts the burden of decisions onto the platform and enact laws that focus that power even further into a limited number of hands.
Either the brain violates the physical Church-Turing thesis or it's not.

If it does, well, it will take more time to incorporate those physical mechanisms into computers to get them on par with the brain.

I leave the possibility that it's "magic"[1] aside. It's just impossible to predict, because it will violate everything we know about our physical world.

[1] One example of "magic": we live in a simulation and the brain is not fully simulated by the physics engine, but creators of the simulation for some reason gave it access to computational resources that are impossible to harness using the standard physics of the simulated world. Another example: interactionistic soul.
As a Daoist I will say; "Of course they did!"

But, now the scientist:

"The explanation lies in quantum mechanics, where particles like photons behave in fuzzy, probabilistic ways rather than following strict rules."

There are people in quantum physics, very few, who will tell you that all physical objects exist only as probabilities (fields). But I think this is the truth that is holding back quantum physics. There are no particles, there are only waves.

Think of the location of your coffee cup as only the probability that your coffee cup is where it is. What the human brain does is collapse the probability of your coffee cup into a certainty so it can know how to pick it up. (and is probably why we sometimes drop things). In reality, my coffee cup exists as a sort of cloud of probability, and it is by our quantum computer mind accurately computing the probability curve of the coffee cup that allows us to safely pick it up.

We do not manipulate particles, we manipulate probabilities. There is no "elementary particle" and it is a waste of time trying to fine it. The god particle is not a particle, it is a field.

There are no particles, there are only fields

In jj, pulled commits are immutable by default. Commits that you author are mutable until you push them.

If I'm on a project with change AAA -> BBB, suppose my friend authors CCC and I author DDD.

So my history looks like:

AAA ----> BBB ----> DDD
(immutable) (immutable) (mutable)

And my friend's has:

AAA ----> BBB ----> CCC
(immutable) (immutable) (mutable)

But then my friend pushes their change first. So when I pull, I'll have:

AAA -> BBB -> CCC (immutable)
\
'-> DDD (mutable)

Just like git, I then rebase my commit by saying `jj next` (mnemonic: "move this commit to its next descendant") to get

AAA -> BBB -> CCC (immutable) -> DDD (mutable)
Infiniband is very much an industry standard:

https://www.infinibandta.org/member-listing/

As far as I know, everyone is free to sign up with the infiniband trade association and implement the specification.

Furthermore, if you use RDMA over Ethernet, you are using infiniband at a low level. RoCE which enables it was originally called Ethernet over infiniband. It is maintained by the infiniband trade association.

Omnipath was Intel’s failed effort to try to kill an open standard. It purchased QLogic’s infiniband business, killed it in favor of omnipath and sold it when it failed.

Wood is also known for being flammable, but wooden cooking tools are very common. I think anyone who cooks a lot has an intuitive understanding that just touching something hot is not enough to make anything in a kitchen catch on fire, and that home kitchen fires are relatively rare even with a gas stove involved. So it is surprising to learn that there are flame retardants in these tools because they clearly aren't necessary.
As a bare metal cloud service provider, we built a little TUI app over ssh so that people could upload their public keys to us without having to use a web interface. It has worked out really well because it makes it possible to "upload" the public key without having to do anything but login.

We automatically configure ssh on the servers to auth against our own internal api for serving up the keys. This way, customers can add to authorized_keys and also use our TUI for management as well.
Sorry to hound you for the third time, but this is wrong:

Not anymore. There used to be Cray Aries/GNI, psm/psm2, and now there's Slingshot, the new Cornelis stuff etc. There's almost no Infiniband now.

Show HN: ScreenDemos – A Firefox/Chrome screen recorder for product demos
I have been building a lot of side projects alongside my studies and I often found myself needing a quick way to record and share demos of my apps. After trying out some of the most popular screen recorders, I didn't find any that met my needs. I wanted a tool to quickly record high-quality product demos without downloading multiple pieces of software. So I decided to take on the challenge and build a simple yet powerful screen recorder extension that allows you to record directly from your browser. It has a few key features such as smooth animated cursor, zoom effects, shortcuts hints and much more that I plan to add.

It's my first time launching a product to production so any feedback is greatly appreciated! I have also created a spreadsheet where I compared my tool with popular screen recorders if you want to learn more: https://screendemos.com/comparison
