If you stop your thought at just “people are losing their shit”, thats seeing half the world.

I’d say thats disingenuous, because it misses or dismisses the incredibly alarming actions that have precipitated them.

If you genuinely care about it, then you might be interested in knowing why people are responding like this. For example, people generally hate Nazis, and punching Nazis is a popular idea.

DO people expect themselves to be polite when the see a takeover and destruction of their government? “it looks like pre WW2 Germany out there, do pass the salt dear.”
Yes, R1 seems to mostly use it like that. It's either to signal a problem with its previous reasoning, or if it's thought of a better approach. In coding it's often something like "this API won't work here" or "there's a simpler way to do this".
I heard megacorps described a while ago as “a sentient pile of money”, which seems pretty much correct. Money has no morals.
It's a bit early to write that when they haven't purged any yet.

Also that article is a bit silly with "Musk’s junta have established him as the all-but undisputed unelected head of government". There's an orange looking guy who would dispute that biggly.
I get it, but once you’ve compiled your program down to a computational graph…well those are basically morphisms in a monoidal/multi category, no? And then you can have a stack of MLIR dialects that represent different levels of abstraction, where optimization passes are functors between the multicategory determined by that dialect, then you hand it off to LLVM for CPU execution, or maybe you want to run it with WebGPU, go down to CUDA, etc.
I'm strictly speaking never going to think of model distillation as "stealing." It goes against the spirit of scientific research, and besides every tech company has lost my permission to define what I think of as theft forever
Oh was I enthusiastic when I first got my hands on an active record ORM: "I can use all my usual objects and it'll manage the SQL for me? Wow!". That enthusiasm reached rock bottom rather quickly as soon as I wanted to fine tune things. Turns out I'm not a fan of mutating hierarchical objects and then calling a magical .commit()-method on it, or worse: letting the ORM do it implicitly. That abstraction is just not for me and I'd rather get my hands "dirty" writing SQL, I guess.
something about metrics becomes a target it fails to be a good metric springs to mind.
I'll bet most devs who use the Fedora image based distros use linuxbrew.

I think about cones all the time when doing machine learning. If I have an object O that can be mapped to A and B I can learn a function from A to B or B to A if I can generate Os. That’s my view of self supervised learning.
While I don’t disagree, we should remember a few things:

Diversity isn’t just about skin colour. Getting more women in expands opportunities for women, who still suffer pay gaps, and this would help close that.

Even black people who do have enough education suffer discrimination (conscious or not), so working to improve things is a net good.

That’s not to say the FAA did the right thing (it appears not) but it’s important to not just throw our hands up and keep saying it’s someone else’s problem!

Your basic point is a bit off. A lot of those refugees are because of the destabilisation the US is responsible for. If there is a cover organisation for something terrible and it does a little good in the process it is still terrible. Take that line could justify an entire invasion because they secure peace for the survivors.

The real outrage here is Bernie Sanders defending the organisation. They should have sent in someone who isn't trying to brand themselves as principled, maybe Schiff.
I can remember when the rhetoric against Java apps being "slow" was just as strong as it is against Electron now. And they've always been less native-feeling and clunkier than Electron.
Maybe, but it doesn't just use it to signify that it's made a mistake. It also uses it in a positive way, such as it's had a lightbulb moment. Of course some people use expletives in the same way, but that would be less common than for mistakes.
Reddit? Or the circumstances of Trump’s presidency?

Hacker News is radicalizing, and is very likely going to have to decide if it’s going to be pro MAGA or not.

What did people think the response was going to be once Trump did everything he said he would? People would lie back and let things happen?

This is pretty basic for a sales agent. Most of this flow has been available as sales enablement tech for > 10 years through Salesforce & Hubspot plugins.

Even Marketo could automatically place a call to a live warm agent with enriched information within 1 minute of a lead form being filled out on a website in 2010.

Operator did blow me away though. That is next level compared to Selenium and Puppeteer. While this sales agent feels very me-too.
I think it’s distinctly not funny people who voted for a rapist think they’re good people.

Trump as POTUS ordered the VPOTUS to overturn an election, and when Mike Pence refused the order, Trump sent a mob to have the VPOTUS assassinated. It’s distinctly not funny, though very memorable, that people who voted for Trump again think of themselves as American patriots.

I remember the racist lie of birtherism.

You can grab them by the pussy, they let you do it. I remember it.

I think some are addicts to the anger, drama, and depravity of Trump TV. Perhaps they can be treated like drug, sex, and shopping addicts.

The stupid and malicious are probably lost for our lifetime. The best thing to do is cut them off. They’re not good people. They voted for a rapist, that’s how desperate and low they’ve become.

I remember Mike Pence boilerplate Republicanism wasn’t good enough. Trumpers want and need an abuser. They voted for that, not despite it.

A good deal why we’re here is liberals coddled Trumpers, forgave them in advance, helped to normalize the depravity by inviting Trumper friends and family to all the usual social functions, despite the insanity. We were too nice. And this is permission. We gave them permission all along.

Kick abusers to the curb. All of them. They’re not good people. Stop trying to make them better by lying about who and what they are. Stop normalizing the depravity. That’s the beginning.

Just a gentle warning: try out alternative Discord clients with a non-important account first.
A few years ago, I used ripcord¹ and got automatically banned by Discord - probably because I had started the original Discord client on the same computer, and this triggered some heuristics.
Discord's first-level support was not willing to reinstate my account, and I had to² track down their head of security on Twitter to get my account reinstated.

¹) https://cancel.fm/ripcord/, no new releases since 2021

²) I'd not generally suggest this approach. However, since COVID we have been using Discord a lot for informal communication with our students. Losing access to a dozen course servers mid-semester was a huge problem for me.
Craft update adds DeepSeek R1 on-device AI model
You don't need RNG since the whole transformer is an extremely large floating-point arithmetic unit. A wild guess - how about the source of non-determinism is coming from the fact that, on the HW level, tensor execution order is not guaranteed and therefore (T0 * T1) * T2 can produce slightly different results than T0 * (T1 * T2) due to rounding errors?
I have a similar build, basically all adults and I am the only one who pays for food. My monthly bill is about 30 - 60% your bill. Mostly sits in the 30 - 40% range.

I don't dine out, I don't drink, and I have some lifestyle + allergy restrictions for some things, but I tend to believe those restrictions actually make it more expensive than not.

I am also not in a VHCOL, but still quite high since I'm quite close to a major hub in an expensive suburb.

That number is insane to me. I would have to go high end on every single meal to get to the same number. I don't think I debate quality all that much either. I don't feel I cheap out either generally. Food is a fair bit less than 5% of what I make annually too.

It looks like the thing that stopped the slot filling was funding, not a dearth of candidates.

We had 500 open positions. We filled 100, and argued over 10.

That’s still a gap of 400 positions. We have only 110 qualified applicants.

I've used git-branchless in the past. It seems they have in common (suprise!) that branches are a distraction. And for a lot of workflows that has a lot less friction.
The only thing is, a lot of version control users are only comfortable with branches. They can't think of an alternative with changes and patchsets.

This is clearly a deliberate shock and awe campaign by Trump and his acolytes to cause as much chaos and damage as possible before they encounter resistance. Another objective is to likely bring a case about the constitutionality of the Impoundment act in front of a conservative supreme court.

What's sickening is that the norms might be permanently changed even if Trump and Elon are pushed back. The next president with an authoritarian bent will have plenty of precedent to justify similar behaviour.
What Trump is doing to NIH..I have never felt more abused.
They did, and then they used something called parallel construction (legal term) to not give away the warrantless search that entails. Wanted to avoid fruit of the poison tree, or public backlash, or maybe even both.

Once he was identified, they trolled through his internet history to find something that if they were luckier than any investigators ever they might have found without cheating. Then claimed they actually did that. It was all horseshit. None of this is controversial. Didn't even have to hack Tor, traffic analysis sufficed.

As I said, super unpleasant folks.
I used Merlin on my TM-AC1900 APs for some time. It's more or less a slightly customized build of the AsusWrt firmware, with a bit easier time for fiddling, like adding packages and shell access. The webui is the Asus ui, with some tweaks. Merlin only runs on asus devices.

OpenWrt is distribution that works more or less the same on all of the supported hardware. IMHO, the Asus firmware is reasonable, so it's not a bad place to start, but some manufacturers have pretty minimalistic firmware and IMHO, something like OpenWRT that provides fairly consistent capabilities across a range of hardware is really handy (when OpenWRT supports your hardware anyway).

I run OpenWRT on an LTE gateway, and on my new APs, although I'm running off a fork right now because the ath11k drivers in 24.10 didn't work well for me in the rc builds; hopefully after this release settles down, snapshot builds will move to the newer linux kernel and I can switch to that.
If you don't know anything about the other person and are selecting blindly, there's no bias by definition, so that particular selection is not biased regardless of what it looks like.

If the resulting distribution is not what you expected it to be, then there are two simple explanations: either your model was wrong, or the bias that causes the deviation is happening on an earlier stage in the process.

At the same time, if going from non-blind to blind changes the result, it means that there was bias that had been eliminated. The second article pretty much openly admits it and then demands that it be reinstated to produce the numbers that they would like to see.

Spending a couple of months tinkering with hardware and programming assembly will make you understand the basics of how a computer works in a totally different way than other high level languages will. I haven't programmed a single line of assembly after high school (back in the 80s...), but the fundamental understanding of how operations are executed, how registries work makes it so much easier to understand the whys, the ifs and buts of programming and optimization. And you'll certainly start to appreciate clean, effective code.

Yep, I agree with ya. Whoever moderated that away is lame.
You are misunderstanding the argument: I am not against prescriptive formatters. By all means, enforce a style convention for your project, I have nothing against that, nor do I understand how you interpreted that from my comment. I am against prescriptive formatters that cannot be configured. This creates the absurd situation, as previously described, where one must appeal to 'The Committee' who decides the style convention for the entire world. This should not be necessary. Nor should you have to surround your code with formatter-disabling comments (assuming the language even supports that) to, for example, use the "tall" style, as previously mentioned. Nor should you have to literally fork the language or its tools to disable the formatter.

I don’t wish this anywhere in the world. But until the righteous find a solution to this tactic, people need to emulate it, if only to bring their political battle to parity.

Restraint IS a value, and it might well be yours. But the value needs someone to create a path for it to be viable and competitive. Otherwise your choice is simply between restraint and electoral irrelevance, or between combat and a chance to get some votes.

Your position is baffling. You think that Google, who maintains every search you’ve ever made, including correlating them across every Gmail account you have, and who routinely provides this search data to authorities, as well as sells access to this data is somehow more safe to use than a company based in Europe, who are funded off of a subscription model, whom are not VC funded even though you claim that, and who’s entire sales strategy is that they don’t sell your data or even retain it.

Your position is completely devoid of logic.
But they're doing it in such an unceremonious way... No real curation, no promotion, just an unorganized content dump.
Show HN: Bit – A minimal project scaffolding tool (looking for feedback)
Hi HN! I built Bit (https://github.com/bitbonsai/bit) to simplify project scaffolding. It helps developers quickly set up new projects with sensible defaults and customizable templates. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the approach and any suggestions for improvement. What would make this more useful for your workflow?
Thanks for asking, I think I do, yes. I'm not sure what you find particularly hostile about it - they edited out what they originally had to say, but even then, I'm not saying anything extraordinary.

Telling people they're acting childish and are not bringing anything to the table argumentation wise I think is pretty low on the hostility scale.

The irony of being called out as hostile after confronting someone that they're just asserting their opinions is definitely not lost on me. What a thread...
If you just invalidate the cache on hash mismatch, the malware problem exists the other way around:

You update a dependency to version x and check its code to ensure it's safe. Then the threat actor adds malware to that library you're depending on, and makes the old tag x point to the malicious commit. Yor coworker does "go get" to download dependencies and gets the malware.

One solution (on dev side) is to vendor, which Go has native support for. Another (on Go side) is to show a warning on hash mismatch.

I recently attended a STAC conference where they claimed the GPUs themselves are not deterministic. The hand-wavy speculation is they need to temperature control the cores and the flop ops may be reordered during that process. (By temperature I mean physical temperature, not some nn sampling parameter). On such large scale of computation these small differences can show up in the actually different tokens.

Unlike the author, I always found the Z80 to be far more simple and sane than the 6502.

Also, for me the excellent 68000 instruction set was design wise far more a continuation of the clean Z80 style than the messy 6502.

One cool thing about the DeepSeek team that struck me was that they have slightly unconventional backgrounds. These days if you want to do deep learning research at a big name lab like DeepMind or OpenAI you probably need a PhD and to have published a paper or 5.

The DeepSeek folks are super smart of course but they have more diverse backgrounds. The CEO specifically said he values creativity not prior experience.

This is awesome. Shader devs are next level; it’s a type of tight, repetitive iteration which is super different from the webby, protocoly, applicationy development that many of us are used to. There’s something really satisfying about changing a float, pressing shift-enter, and then immediately seeing a result.

Well done!
Trump is a repudiation of every Repub value out there. He is non Christian, he is not the person of small government. He found time to insult McCain.

Right! They should really be considered two different things. I've worked a lot with Django (the bad type) which people tend to love, but I've seen the horrors that it can produce. What they seem to love about it is being able to write ridiculously complicated SQL using ridiculously complicated Python. I don't get it. These types of ORMs don't even fully map to objects. The "objects" it gives you are nothing more than database rows, so it's all at the same abstraction level as SQL, but it just looks like Python. It's crazy.

SQLAlchemy is the real deal, but it's more difficult and people prefer easy.
