Show HN: FDeploy, a self-hosted, affordable deployment software for Windows
fDeploy Server is a self-contained windows service, offering OpenAPI v3 compliant set of API endpoints and a built in web server which builds on the Microsoft's kernel-mode driver along with a web client, which serves as a central dashboard where project, environment, target and process management takes place. Use the built-in package repository with more to come.
The comments on this have already amply fulfilled my prediction. People's interpretation of this 3-second video clip are determined by their prior feelings about this person. HN is about learning, and nobody learns anything new in a thread like that

You guys are talking about this (both the stimulus and the response) as if it's some unusual phenomenon. It's not—it's the most standard aspect of HN moderation. If we didn't moderate this way, HN would be a completely different site; the front page would be filled with the latest outrages. To see that, all you have to do is multiply the present situation by a sufficiently large number.

It always feels as if the latest high-energy stimulus as the important one, the indispensable one, the one where things will fall apart if we don't stop everything and argue about it right now. HN is about trying to disengage ourselves from that brain-chemistry ratwheel. I realize that energy is running higher than usual because of the events of yesterday, but again, that's the sort of dynamic this site is about not being determined by—irrespective of political position or feelings about celebrities.

In past threads I've described this as the difference between reflexive and reflective discussion. If anyone wants to understand the basic approach, maybe some of that would help: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Chris Oakman ported the parinfer algorithm to Lua [1]. I used this to write a parinfer plugin for Neovim [2]. I use Fennel (a Lisp that compiles to Lua) for all of my Neovim config and so use parinfer everyday. It works exceptionally well (there are occasional hiccups, but no showstoppers).

Neither my plugin nor Chris' script have been updated in 2+ years. That's because it just keeps working. I owe a lot to Shaun and Chris for their work (my plugin is just a little glue code for interacting with the editor, they did all of the hard work).

If you are asking that question seriously check out the recent Rogan podcast with Wesley Huff. Has the usual Rogan conspiracy theory pontificating, but also some good discussion about the history of how we got the Bible we have today.

First off, the claim that the original text was first written 100s of years after the words were spoken is completely false and isn’t taken seriously by anyone in the field.

Are you using the model to create a key-value pair to find/replace and then reverse to reanonymize, or are you using its outputs directly? If the latter, is it fast enough and reliable enough?

> There are people who think they are dysphoric, transition, then realize they totally messed up.

Some people start businesses, it doesn't go well, they then realized they messed up and totally regret it. Does this mean that all entrepreneurship should be banned?

The logical failure in your argument is that you are saying that because there are problems with current approaches to transgender care, that gender dysphoria is not real and does not need to be taken seriously or treated or accommodated.

> I think the most honest and best course is to tell that person, "Sorry, you are not a woman, and the surgery you are asking for will not actually get you want you want. Cross-dressing and wearing lipstick does not make you a woman. But if you learn to accept who you are, you can live a happy life."

There is zero evidence that your "common sense approach" works at all, and there is zero evidence that reparative or conversion therapy works at all for those with legitimate gender dysphoria.
But it's not prime - what am I missing? Why is this anecdote significant?
I couldn't agree more. China has:
* weaker GPUs
* a smaller model
* started with nothing

And now they're building better, faster, and cheaper models at a fraction of the cost. It's hilarious and exciting.
Right? I'm surprised 60% stay.
> - It's true that many join academia because they didn't know what else they could do.

Founder here. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. fDeploy is in early alpha but it can be tried out today.

When you go back this was the norm. You go to irc, search in #5on5: high server on (counter-strike 1.6)

You either have a server and they come to you or you don't and message people. If they/you feel like are hacking go next. There were tons of servers where you had admins all the time.

Human admins still can only see the obvious spin/aimbots.

Companies took this from us as hosting your own servers is rarely an option these days and you rely on the company never shutting them down.
Depends on how the game works a suppose. Mostly it depends on whether a cheater would ruin one short game, or many hours of games. I usually find async reporting useless because it already ruined my evening (this is under the assumption I’m playing a server and have no interest playing anywhere else, but a single cheater can ruin the game for everyone for a whole day). Whether that cheater gets disciplined later doesn’t help anyone in that scenario unless they were kicked from the game right away.
It matters because of the ridiculous regulations imposed by the US on China. Even despite them, they've built a better model.

I HIGHLY doubt it was built for these type of operations.

The problem is, nobody's threat model includes state level attackers, until one day it does.

Back when Ulbricht was publicly asking questions using an easily uncovered identity, he wasn't thinking that in a few years he'd have the full force of every relevant TLA in the US (and Five Eyes/14 Eyes) trying to track him down.
Somewhat adjacent question: are there people working on ways to verify that a particular server or API backend are running the specific signed release that is open sourced? Can a company somehow cryptographically prove to its users that the running build is derived from the source unmodified?

I wonder how big that model is in RAM/disk. I use LLMs for FFMPEG all the time, and I was thinking about training a model on just the FFMPEG CLI arguments. If it was small enough, it could be a package for FFMPEG. e.g. `ffmpeg llm "Convert this MP4 into the latest royalty-free codecs in an MKV."`
I highly doubt that signal does anything to help with mass surveillance. Signal started keeping people's name, photo, phone number, and contacts in the cloud protected by a "secure" enclave the NSA almost certainly has access to and hackers already got into (https://community.signalusers.org/t/sgx-cacheout-sgaxe-attac...) and even leaving all that aside, all anyone needs is a PIN that can be trivially brute forced.

There are different kinds of postdoc positions.

Fellowships are generally the good ones. You get to explore research directions under the guidance of a more experienced researcher. Because you have independent funding, your mentor is not your boss, and you are relatively free to choose what to work on and how.

On the other end of the spectrum, some postdocs are just people a PI has hired to work on a well-defined project. Either because the institute does not have more appropriate job titles or because postdocs are cheaper than professional researchers. These are fundamentally ordinary jobs, and like any job, they can be good or bad.
Yup, I mean "accessibly priced". Auto-correct or STT fail.
You might want to take a look at jsfunfuzz[0][1] or this USENIX paper[2] by Christian Holler, Kim Herzig and Andreas Zeller, called "Fuzzing with Code Fragments" (which also references [0]; two of the paper's authors contributed to the fuzzing book).

Based on your description and the overlap in authors, LangFuzz, as presented in the paper, seems to match quite close. Roughly summarizing a few paragraphs of the paper, they mainly used a mutational approach (e.g. modifying already found/generated "inputs") after a learning phase where sample files are processed and their grammar discovered (section 3.1 in [2]). This leads to code fragments that are syntactically correct, but might be semantically incorrect (see section 3.3 in [2])

Another fuzzer (albeit more recently in time) that has found numerous vulnerabilities is afl-fuzz, or "american fuzzy lop"[3].

I used to love MiniDSP but now it uses “Dirac” so you need 2 accounts one in dirac and another in MiniDSP, install 2 different softwares that work together(?) you get the download links (drivers and software) for the products you purchased from your account.

Robert Ashley's notes on Automatic Writing (1996)
The authors of the second piece specifically said this was not the same thing: the fact that they weakly fire for loosely-associated concepts is very different from (and ultimately shallower than) concept neurons:

Looking to neuroscience, they might sound like “grandmother neurons,” but their associative nature distinguishes them from how many neuroscientists interpret that term. The term “concept neurons” has sometimes been used to describe biological neurons with similar properties, but this framing might encourage people to overinterpret these artificial neurons. Instead, the authors generally think of these neurons as being something like the visual version of a topic feature, activating for features we might expect to be similar in a word embedding.

The "turtle+PhD" artificial neuron is a good example of this distinction: it is just pulling together loosely-related concepts of turtles and academia into one loose neuron, without actually being a coherent concept.
I agree with the interface. It only does one thing and it does it really well: it tells you how to drive somewhere.

I also never considered the fact that the UI won't change randomly to be a feature lol.

In the latest model you can hook it up to the internet so when you get home it auto updates itself. You can also hook it up to your phone so text messages and Slack notifications pop up on the side of the screen. I would imagine these are features you would not want to use.
There is no longer any incentive to stay in academia. Professorships are rare and not as lucrative as they once were. Staying in academia means living like a 19 yearold student well into your 40's.
I've spent a little bit of time in those types of spaces. I absolutely believe the temperatures referenced, but approaching 100 F with humidity above 95% is likely deadly in a short amount of time. And to then seemingly make jokes about selling tickets to walk into an area where you get physically stuck for mysterious reasons adds to my opinion that some of the report seems hyperbolic.

Check out the heat index page I linked above, or this similar one from OSHA: https://www.ohsa.com.au/services/heat-stress-monitoring/.

You said ‘swing state voters’. The survey you indirectly link to is talking about ‘swing voters’:

>Our definition of swing voters includes those who are undecided in the presidential race, have changed their voting preference since 2020 (voting Democrat in one election and Republican in the other), or are independents who either indicate they split their votes between Democrats and Republicans, or who hold either favorable or unfavorable views of both Trump and Harris.

The sample of voters is weighted towards swing states, but judging by the numbers for 'All voters', gender wasn't the predominant issue for swing state voters in general.

I don't think that neopronouns are a big issue outside of hypothetical arguments on the internet. You can certainly link neopronouns to a broader issue that people care about. But this thread was just about neopronouns (starting from your question "What about neopronouns?") before you brought Trump into it!
>A price low enough to be within reach of edu customers,

That's what I thought, so do not say excessively since that would mean overpriced because it is excessive.

Accessively sounds like almost the same word but means something can be easily accessed, is more within reach or "not high priced".

Perhaps the best wording might be "affordable" for edu customers.
I theory the incentive is to 1) eventually become a professor and 2) have more say over what projects you get to work on.

Both of these aren't real incentives for the bottom 80% of postdocs.
and honestly, reading and writing probably did make the youth’s memory a few generations down weaker.

If you are not expected to remember everything like the ancient Greek were, you are not training your memory as much and it will be worse than if you did.

Now do I think it’s fair to say AI is to what reading/writing as reading/writing was to memorizing? No, not at all. AI is nothing near as revolutionary and we are not even close to AGI.

I don’t think AGI will be made in our lifetime, what we’ve seen now is nowhere near AGI, it’s parlor tricks to get investors drooling and spending money.
Everyone agrees inflation is bad; what we don't yet really know is if it's worse than unemployment. The way the existing system works is if inflation starts to rise, the Fed raises the interest rate, hiring slows and people get fired, and this constricts the existing supply of money thus reducing inflation. But if you don't do that, and instead just put up with inflation, people get and keep jobs, so all you then have to do is make sure wage growth meets or exceeds inflation.

Politically this ended up not working (no pun intended). People explain this by saying losing a job affects that person whereas inflation affects everybody, but personally I put it down to the right demagoguing inflation as the sign of an incompetent government (it turns out it was transitory and the result of supply shocks--maybe not a good reason to throw millions of people out of work).

We'll never know the counterfactual, but the US managed this economic environment better than any of its peers, so honestly I don't know what a good faith criticism would even look like.

It isn't a fallacy, it is plausibly optimal if the person being insured is involved in a non-ergodic process. The statistical argument you are applying is too basic to cover a large number of real-world situations.
I mean, really?

An L5 at FAANG is making close to $450-500k/yr in total comp. Let’s assume the minimum wage is $15/hr, and the people doing the tasks get paid $25/hr (on the higher end). With 15 hours of simple errands a week, it comes out to $375/week or $1500/mo.

Maybe it is a bit of a stretch for an L5 to spend that much in a month on helping with chores (gotta consider taxes, after all), but it doesn’t seem that wild at all to have $1500 in spending on getting chores taken care of. And it is definitely very doable for an L6. No need to be at L7 to be able to comfortably afford that at all.

No need to live in SF for that either. Seattle pays pretty much comparably, no state income tax, a bit cheaper cost of living, and all big FAANG companies have a major presence there. At director level, you would be able to afford much more (been to a director’s house once for a team bbq, and yeah, the gap between director level and L5/L6 is rather large; and it wasn’t a director of one of the higher-paying FAANG-tier companies either).

Yeah feels like they should be able to converge actions and pipelines.

Keeping some separation between AzDo itself and GH also requires some balancing. But so far I’m pretty sure I could never sell our enterprise on a shift to GH. Simply not enough jira-esque features in GH with complex workflows, time reporting etc so I can’t see them doing the bigger GH/AzDo merger.
> We want to train highly skilled people and then unleash them in the private sector to create new companies or help push existing companies forward.

Many of these people will become very frustrated in the private sector because they will very commonly talk to a brick wall with their ideas in the private sector. The private sector is commonly not the kind of environment where highly intelligent, novel, bright ideas are rewarded.

But he also chose to go on and found a darknet narcotics service. Most people don't do something like that.

Yes, it's vogue right now to speculate that what you're doing right now could suddenly become illegal in a new administration, but if that happens tomorrow, most of us would be one of hundreds of thousands who are all in the same boat. For that reason, most of us won't get targeted retroactively for behaviors that were legal at the time, and we have the option to reevaluate our security posture when the political landscape changes.

But yeah, if you're actively speculating about starting an illegal service today, you should definitely have a better security posture than Ulbricht did.
These are handsome, but my real question is: how's the mechanism? Of the half dozen or so pepper mills I've owned, half of them kind of sucked from the get-go (the current one grinds ok, but doesn't feed fresh peppercorns without a regular shake), and the other half broke in a couple years (the last one the adjustment mechanism jammed up). I don't feel like I'm an unreasonably aggressive pepper grinder, nor do I think I use an abnormally large amount of pepper. Hell, I'd only call myself a halfway decent home cook.

In related news: does anyone want to recommend a decent commercial, easily available option? Not looking to spend a fortune, but would be willing to spend enough to have one that'll last another 40-50 years.
I find genius being 15 and being in a state to find this issue and write this report. For my understanding there is a ton of context and knowledge packed in this write-up which i can't possibly imagine myself being able to grasp it at the age of 15. That is not to say it's not possible, but it goes to say it is very hard, that's why i characterise it as genius
The article mentions "50K ft. rolls 20ft wide". While you might not need the full 50K ft length (if you can even buy such a roll with less length), the 20 ft wide spec is probably fairly important. I wonder how much that'd cost, including transportation? Also, I have no idea how much it'd cost to buy or make machinery and supports to sufficiently handle such a sized roll. What are you estimating these costs would be?

This sounds like a cool one-time solve. Solving high level traditional sudukos is mostly about learning "rules" (like The Phistomefel Ring). I imagine the equivalent in 3d would be too complex for a human to parse.
Yeah 100% I think I commented this somewhere else as well. Your phone already has this natively built in, you don't need any of these apps at all.

Over the break I wanted to build something that was gonna make this easier for myself. I built it and made it totally free and open source. I don't see a competitive advantage, but just a fun challenge for myself to build and get this type of app reviewed.

Maybe I'll write a blog post about the apple review submission because that was a not fun lol
