Interesting choice of window manager. Has anyone here used PaperWM and can comment on how its "scrollable" interface compares to more traditional tiling WMs like i3?

I moved away from the x86 box to Mikrotik after a late night spent debugging NIC issues in BSD/Debian (Proxmox VM)

They have inexpensive devices (Hex wired router will handle up to about 1 Gbps), and they receive software updates for longer than any hw manufacturer I can think of.

The main gateway router in my household has become something that needs to work reliably, not something I can (or want to) tinker with all that much. The MT devices are infinitely flexible, but rock solid and cheap.
Ah, didn't notice. My bad.

The feds can screech all they want. The people have spoken. Their jobs won't be missed. That the feds that tyrannically oppress the people hate this so much is some of the strongest evidence DOGE might actually get something done.

(1) I'll grant it was a long time ago. Things could have changed a lot.

(2) It's generic that a new database comes out, gets hyped, but turns out to be "trash" when you try to use it. If a new database was actually good that would be exceptional. (Probably in 2013 it satisfied somebody's requirements but the hype for Stardog in 2013 seemed to be entirely out of line with what I needed for the project I was doing at the time)

I thought Postgres was trash in 2001 and called it CrashGreSlow, now I swear by it. Early on people were making big claims for it that were not substantiated but people did the hard work over a long time to make it great.

I thought mongodb was trash when it came out, then I worked for a place that used it despite the engineers believing it was trash and begging me not to use it for a spike prototype. It never got better. Now it is common knowledge that mongodb is trash.

(3) Maybe it's not fair but I was hurt by the experience, my wife was furious at the balance I'd run up on the HELOC chasing my Moby Dick. As an applications programmer who was accustomed to getting things right I had a terrible opinion of most of the luminaries in the semantic web field at the time many of whom were shipping code that was academic quality at best.
I strongly disagree.

When someone is wrong, you can correct them. When someone is lying, i.e. knowingly spreading falsehood in an effort to manipulate an audience, it's vitally important to call them out on it. People need to recognize who is using misinformation as a weapon. The points of highlighted are manipulative rhetorical techniques, not merely bad arguments. These people need to be identified and shunned, especially in a place as committed to dialogue as HN.

Sorry you don't like my phrasing. What method would you suggest to call alarm to a dishonest actor in a public space?
What a poorly informed article. It's very shallow and out of touch with LLM research. As it stands 6-12 months old models are system 1 thinkers, everybody knows this and knew this even at the time. You need system 2 thinking (test time compute) for more complex logical, algorithmic and reasoning tasks. We knew this when Daniel kahneman wrote thinking fast, thinking slow (over a decade ago) and we still know it today. So LLMs can think but they have to be programmed to think (a la system 2, reasoning, thinking models). There's nothing inherently wrong or limited with LLMs themselves as far as we can tell.

Well, he is making an analogy that real internal experience cannot be confirmed externally, however convincing the performance, but this is the only way we know about the internal experience of all things, including ones we typically assign "real" consciousness to (humans, dogs) and ones we don't (amoeba, zygotes, LLMs).

To be clear I'm not for a moment suggesting current AIs are remotely comparable to animals.

Oh there are societal issues here as well, no argument there. They all roll down hill from individuals' choices though.

Society didn't force Walter Cronkite on us. People chose to listen to him and a small number of other trusted sources, and they began choosing to take what was said by those sources at face value. I'm not even saying that was a bad thing or wrong, at the time news did seem to be reported in better faith.

We choose our sources though, and we choose how deeply to consider what they say. I don't see how this could have started as a societal issue rather than individual choice first.

I dare say I'm more familiar with the capabilities of the leading models than certain big tech CEOs are, at least judging by their publicly communicated opinions.
From TFA:

"Basing the bull case for AI on the Jevons paradox is, therefore, a bet not on the efficiency of the technology but on the level of demand. [...] America’s Census Bureau finds that only 5% of American firms currently use AI and 7% have plans to adopt it in the future. Many others find the tech difficult to use or irrelevant to their line of business."
One is so stupid, to learn some "useful shorcuts" which are existing only until some megacorp is going to change anything in their software (OS, IDE, browser has almost none of them). I am a huge proponent of learning touchtyping, then vim and... nothing more.
FPV today is largely using ExpressLRS[0], an open protocol for running FPV quads' control links (also using esp32 usually)

Video for FPV quads on the other hand is divided: some use analog (mostly because when you lose signal, it's a gradual loss rather than complete loss + a reconnection process), while others use 802.11-based communication which is actually quite competitive. Walksnail Goggles for example use 802.11 for their video links, although not super open/documented people do dig into how it works (see Chris Rosser's work.) Latency is good enough with such setups for fast-paced competitive quad racing, at least

Seeing as it is going to deliver 1 PFLOP, it will need to have similar speed as the "native" (GDDR) counterpart otherwise it will only be able to hit that performance as long as all data is in the cache...

My guess is that they will use the RTX 5070 Ti laptop version (992 TFLOPS, slightly higher clocked to reach 1000 TFLOPS/ 1 PFLOP).

Their big GB200 chips have 546 GB/s to their LPDDR memory, they could use the same memory controler on the GB10. They don't need to design a new one. It would still be slower than what they are currently using on the RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, but any slower than that, and there is no chance that they could argue that it would hit anywhere near 1 PFLOP of FP4. It would only be possible in extreme edge case scenarios when all data will fit in it's 40MB L2 cache.

States rights will be in the crosshairs soon enough. States that support public health, be that reproduction, vaccines, sex ed, weather, or simply just fact-based research, could see thier federal funds dry up. States still need to biuld infrastructure, something that almost always taps federal funds. Everyone who works in science or research is afraid at the moment, irrespective of where they think their funding comes from.

I know a guy measuring tree growth, with an eye to whether tree planting is effective post-fire. Much of the study is on federal lands. He has no idea whether the project will still exist come spring.
"Of the 4,700 newspapers published in Germany when the Nazis took power in 1933, no more that 1,100 remained.

OP here, thanks for posting the project. The FOSDEM talk will be also available soon I hope.

I'm planning to focus more on responsiveness and adding more web-only widgets for the next releases. Of course there are a lot of other things to fix & improve :)

congrats on the open sourcing and launching! beyond the desire to run VMs in "1 command", i don't quite get the reasoning behind this project. could you elucidate? like, besides running macOS VMs, how is it different from lima, colima, and friends? the name lume is quite unfortunate.

the hard part about running VMs isn't really how to launch them (well, ahem, i'm looking at you, qemu), but getting data in and out, and controlling them. some feature requests, if i may ;)

# take screenshot
# this should do the right thing(TM) and take a screenshot of the logged-in user session, which may not necessarily be the console
lume screenshot <vm name> [-o <file.png> | -]

# execute command
lume exec <vm name> [--as-user <user>] <command> [args]

# copy files in and out
lume cp <vm name>:<vm path> <local path>
lume cp <local path> <vm name>:<vm path>

# run clone as new VM
# this should appropriately roll the MAC address, IPs, and reseed any RNGs, of course
lume run --clone <clone name> <vm name>

Can you clone a VM while it's running?

The ability to resume a VM within < 1 second would be useful for on-demand workflows without waiting for a full VM bootup sequence, similar to how you can get a firecracker microVM into the state you want, snapshot it.. then clone as you wish, and resume back into the guest.

You may need to preinstall an agent (a la Parallel/VMware Tools) to make sure this is seamless and fast.
I will add for those who haven't tried these, as it usually doesn't come across in verbal comparisons:

Digital FPV (like DJI's system) looks vastly better than analog. I think the best comparison is: Digital looks like a modern movie, youtube video etc, and analog looks like CCTV footage from the 80s.

I will also clarify on ELRS: It uses ESP32, but it is a thin wrapper around Semtech LoRa (~915Mhz and 2.4Ghz) SX128x and SX126x chips, which are doing the heavy lifting.
(I did the, slightly snarky, original sibling comment, but this comment was better to reply to.)

My understanding of your original comment was similar to how 'JkCalhoun understood it, but this comment reads more like "the country show follow through on decided changes" regardless of who is in power. That I agree more with, with exceptions of course. (One example is maybe Obamas connection with "Obamacare" that is still a thing even though he is not in power.) Perhaps another way to put it is to detach the project from the person, but the person will still be linked (in some way) to the project.

Especially when it comes to international policies. For one, international relations and agreements are (normally) much slower moving and longer lasting than internal ones, and if countries can't depend on agreements lasting longer than the current leadership then such countries will see themselves not taken very seriously.

Kind of like if a president signs a trade deal with his country's closest neighbors and then a few years later instigate a trade war against the same countries.

There’s also chimeras who can have some XY cells and some XX cells due to the fusion of a male and female fertilized zygotes in the early stages of prenatal development.

Resulting in genetic tests of gender to result in different outcomes depending on which cells are sampled.
I suppose they just didn't want to abandon GNOME.
On 2: For you. Not for me. I'm not gender-coded, i don't have the masculinity/femininity thing in my head. Gender is personality for me, comparable to favorite color or music preference. Its like an fictional boundary in the space of what a human can do.

A boundary that is not fictional is whether i can bear offspring or not. I can't. And this is, in my eyes, one of the few remaining places where the "male"/"female" label is useful. Because aside from bearing offspring (and breastfeeding and urinating in certain positions), anyone can do anything.

On 3: Yes, it could. But i see the fault in the societal climate that made people like me suppress saying what they think.
It seems that you didn't understand the main point of the exposition. I'll summarize the ops comment a bit further.

Points 1 and 2 only explain how they are able to erroneously justify their absurd beliefs, they don't explain why they hold those beliefs.

Points 3 through 5 are the heart of the matter; egotistical and charismatic (to some types of people) leaders, open minded, freethinking and somewhat weird or marginalized people searching for meaning plus a way for them all to congregate around some shared interests.

TLDR: perfect conditions for one or more cults to form.
The only part of a far future sci-fi that stayed with me is the use of memory chips as universal (ha) currency :ie capacity was face value and then total value was determined by the data contained on the chip and how much someone(thing) wanted that.
Sometimes it looks like that is an inevitable outcome.
Damn, preach. Epic defense of privacy, doodlebugging. Thank you for giving voice to my thoughts.
Almost nobody wants that though.

Content providers want control over presentation.

Users want pretty sites.

None of this is unique to the web. It's the same reason every magazine has its own attractive layout and formatting, instead of just being a long manuscript in Courier.

I like the fact that different sites have different typography. It's an identity that tells me where I am.

I understand the appeal of "pure information" without any visual variation ever, but I think that for most people, variety is the spice of life, no?

I wouldn't want every site to look the same, for the same reason I wouldn't want everyone to dress like clones. Visual self-expression is part of what it is to be alive.
What is the target use case of the library? Aren't chord, note and interval objects redundant (i.e. a chord is a set of notes of a specific distance, where the latter is an interval)? The chords themselves are just a subset of scales, of which a finite number exists (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/musictools/). Do you consider the relation of chords and scales, and modulations within and between scales? Concerning Lisp, are you aware of https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/s7/s7.html or https://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/?

Government has accumulated enormous power over the centuries.

Now Government goes bad, this becomes very clear.
Depends on what your "real' conservatives are keen on preserving. Taking the torch to things one professes to love - things like liberty, human decency and the core tenets of Christianity, that is the opposite of conserving these things.

People can delude themselves that defending their own narrow interpretation of what these concepts are supposed to mean is the noble end that justifies a lot. But in the end, it's very simple: what we are and what we bring into the world, is a result of what we do, and not of what we intend. Sowing hate and chaos is just that, and which radical end of the spectrum your justification comes from just does not matter very much.

That’s the most bizarre comment I think I’ve ever seen. You didn’t have to reply to my comment. You’re now saying that I assume that the reading comprehension of everyone is so bad that I make comments specifically as gotchas. WTF is that logic? People that post comments in threads without taking the whole thread into consideration are like people that butt their way into a conversation based on the last sentence heard. It never goes well. It’s called social etiquette.

Just admit you didn’t read the full thread and that based on now understanding the full context of the conversation that your comment is out of place and have a nice day
Well, you can't "just" cast any of Rust's integers to a pointer because they're not necessarily the same size (one of the changes to Rust is the decision that usize is not the same size as a pointer only the same size as the pointer address), but C++ uintptr_t is in fact guaranteed to be the same size and presumably the compiler might just model it as an address the same as a pointer.

Today there are no settled provenance rules for C or C++ but there is a TS for C explaining PNVI-ae-udi. Under that model if we cast a pointer to uintptr_t we're exposing the provenance of that pointer. In Rust's Exposed Provenance API we're not promised that this is even possible on every target (if we imagine compiling Rust for a CHERI target clearly expose_provenance may not compile to any actual code, maybe the compiler barfs) but in C we're guaranteed the actual raw bits so we're allowed to, for example, display them to the user and under this TS the associated provenance is thereby exposed - so we can have the user later input an arbitrary integer, turn it into a pointer and the resulting pointer must work if they gave us the right number and that pointer would still be valid!

Is that a good idea? No. But it's very on brand for C and might become the de facto or even de jure semantic for pointer provenance in C++ too.
So far as the "media barrage" my experience is that I got a lot more negative about the trans movement when I joined Mastodon a few years ago and got exposed to their own words.

My trans friend in college suffered terribly because her mother disowned her. I can say as a parent though, if I saw my child was involved with people who were as hateful and negative as the trans people I see on Mastodon, I'd think "I'd do anything at all to spare my child from that suffering."

I think "asexual", as a fashionable label, is particularly harmful. I've met a lot of people who are definitely sexual who went on a phase of glomming on to it and it certainly contributed to their misunderstanding of themselves.

The proliferation of labels about sexuality seems harmful to me (polyamorous is another, BDSM people introduce 10s of them, like you couldn't possible be articulate about your desires but you imagine there is some place where you can pick them off a menu)

My recent experience is that when something squicky goes down or a paraphilia rears its ugly head the people you can trust the least are the ones who talk about sex as if they were liberated or who claim to have some subaltern identity. I think people like this are dangerous not just as direct social connections but even if they are 2, 3 or 4 steps removed.

This classic of French theory

https://monoskop.org/images/9/96/Baudrillard_Jean_Seduction....

has a great part near the beginning about how glib talk about sexuality is a trap, not a way to liberation.

> I don't see how this could have started as a societal issue rather than individual choice first.

really? I'd say it's clearly a matter of education. Critical thinking and media analysis just isn't part of American public schooling. If anything, people are taught to believe authority figures.

Regardless of how it "started", blaming the individual isn't helpful, because that suggests there's nothing to be done. "Well," you say, "folks made a bad decision, c'est la vie." Instead, we should be looking for solutions to media illiteracy, and that solution is certainly social in nature.
There have been estimates of how much stuff storytellers from oral traditions could remember, and it’s measured in gigabytes. There are caveats beside the obvious (compressibility) that probably cost you an order of magnitude—stories in oral traditions have evolved for easier recall over the generations—but it’s fair to say that the intrinsic limits of human memory are nowhere near what any of us have deliberately memorized.
