Is "The Plague" considered an allegory of the struggle against upcoming extremism?

While reading it I saw some parallels with occupation: people trying to escape, some suffering from being separated from their loved ones, those abusing the system and enriching themselves with contraband, help being flown in irregularly, etc. But I didn't get as far as Nazism.

Do you happen to remember which elements supported that supposed theme?
No one was suggesting to go hard every day. The suggestion was that "no zero days" is a good way to build an exercise habit.
What if you need scan pages from thick paper books or binded documents without specialized book scanner?

I have two user cases in mind:

1. Photographs of open book.

2. Having video feed of open book where someone flips pages manually.
Show HN: Repoten – data management platform for data analysis teams
Hey all! I'm happy to announce my project `RepoTEN`! RepoTEN is a solution that I built that acts as a repository that enables data analysis teams to store and share datasets in a fast and structured basis.

Why did I build this?

I worked as a data analyst with a team that used multiple tools for analysis, and we all had to work with similar datasets or share the datasets among each other for tasks such as quality checks.

However, sometimes the datasets would get lost in what I like to call 'drive purgatory', where we would save the files as something like 'dataset_0502025_final.csv' and then having it lost between the other Excel, PDF, and Word docs on the shared drive.

We used another solution that is a part of another data management suite, but that didn't allow thorough documentation.

So I went ahead and tried to come up with a solution to a problem that I believe plenty of other people face: a platform to store dataset versions that is quickly accessible, documented, and user friendly. No need for separate documentation files or mismatching dataset and documentation.

What is RepoTEN?

RepoTEN is an application for data analyst teams to store, document, and version control datasets for end users. It enables teams to collaborate, manage access, and store datasets at both the team and project level, ensuring organized and structured data management without extra complexity.

Key Features:

- Data documentation: When uploading datasets, users can document the dataset by adding metadata, methodologies, and business context relevant to the dataset so that other team members and the users themselves can directly understand what the dataset is for, how to interpret the results, and so on.

- Version control & audit trail: Uploaded datasets have a full version history, including who made the changes and when, with all versions retaining the documentation for their respective versions as well.

- Projects: Manage datasets on a project level, where you can create a project to add members and store datasets on a project basis. Teams working on a project can view the datasets related to the project and contribute without having lost edits or files.

I'm super happy to finally be able to share this with the world! It sure is not much flash, but it definitely is something I found helpful and am sure that many others out there would like something like it!

For me it is only Excel. I am not even a power user, but its strongest features is its integration with powerquery. In many use cases it is perfectly enough to quickly analyze some data and it is still friendly enough to give non-tech workers possibilities to refresh the newest data available.

Apart from that every other part of the MS ecosystem is replaceable. If there would be a solution for corporate IT account management, Windows could be replaced without much friction.

True but I've always found that there was a special 'charm' to these old CPUs because you have to build the circuit you described as a bare minimum, which is not difficult and makes you learn a range of skills.
Best engineers are working at shoveling more adverts down our throats, tracking our every thought to maximise the value they can extract for us.

The goal isn't to have 50 people selling a batch of capacitors for $10, it's to sell them to Alfie for $6, Barbara for $12, and because it's absolutely critical for Colin he gets to pay $623

The western world is about maximising the value middlemen can extract.
One of my favorite single pages on the web is this author’s take on what it would look like if English were spelled with characters inspired by (but not copied from) Chinese hanzi. He calls it yingzi (“English writing” in Chinese) but it's designed entirely for English. The point of the page is not to create a new writing system (it doesn't go nearly that far) but simply to give an impression of what Chinese writing is actually like and what effect it has had on its speakers’ perception of their own language. Give it a read, it's super fascinating.

Why would the same software on the same GPU architecture use different commutations from run to run?

Also if you're even considering fixed point math, you can use integer accumulators to add up your parallel chunks.
Well, I tried to demonstrate the effect I remembered, which was basically a pause every time one track ended and another was supposed to begin.

I didn't succeed. This might be for any of a few reasons:

- I've updated Jellyfin between then and now.

- I'm using a LAN connection instead of a transoceanic connection.

- I might be doing something subtly different than what I was doing before. This is pure speculation.
WiFi 6E works fine on OpenWrt, it's just that there are only two routers supported in ToH SmartRG SDG-8733 and SDG-8734. It works out of the box (I tried just as a test) on my MT7922 (RZ616) card in my PC.
This is not breaking any sandboxing as far as I understand it. PDFs can contain JavaScript, JavaScript can emulate a processor and a processor can run Linux... but that Linux is not getting outside the boundaries of the PDF viewer.
Here's a ready-made idea for a high value AI app. Present to me the view of my favorite websites with all outrage clickbait hidden or re-worded in neutral, non-clickbait language. Better yet if you can also focus on the topics that I actually want to read about. Currently all the news apps without exception are the polar opposite of this, so I don't use them.
Google laid fiber cables across the ocean, they already own the whole infrastructure and rent it out. It's a cost only in the sense that they potentially can't sell as much capacity as without their own traffic going down the pipes.
I was hoping Eclipse AsciiDoc would already deliver stable spec, TCK and (new) reference implementation: https://asciidoc-wg.eclipse.org/projects/
What exactly is your comment about? Have you heard about asciidoc before?
Of course which part of the calculations happens where should also be specifiable and be able to be made deterministicor should not have an effect on the result. A map reduce process' reduce step, merging results from various places also should be able to be made to give reproducible results, regardless of which results arrive first or from where.

Is our tooling too bad for this?
Throwing away the core is throwing away both food and the most beneficial part of the apple for your gut. Of the ~100 million bacteria in an apple, the core and seeds contain around 60%, while the pulp only contains around 20%, the skin 10%, the stem 10%.

Humans accept a degree of error for convenience. (driving is one of them). But no, 15% is not the acceptable rate. More like 0.15% to 0.015% depending on the country.
The OpenWRT One is a good starting point, if it covers your needs.
Any Markdown implementation which allows for custom directives and is CommonMark-compliant is good enough for me.

MyST, for example, lets you do

:::{makeup-highlight}
:lang: elixir
defmodule A do
def b, do: :ok
end
:::

:::{pygments-highlight}
:lang: python
class B:
pass
:::

Since MyST has intermediaries that just give you an AST, you have a lot more extensibility using directives and roles to do special things (including includes). You can of course just use MyST proper, but getting to transform the AST myself how I see fit is a big win in my eyes. Pandoc does have AST and all that too, but MyST's implementation strikes the best balance for me.
That would still be politics, yes. What would be the benefit of discussing it at work? The particular example you give is one which is especially divisive. If someone feels emotionally affected by an issue to the point where they cannot focus on work they should take a leave of absence.
I sure hope so, but also caution (admittedly as an outsider, your posts suggest greater familiarity than I have) that there's not enough evidence yet to be confident of that — finally getting to launch is really impressive, but their first orbital capable rocket is still a sample size of 1.

(Counter point is that New Glenn's one orbital launch is more impressive than all of the Starship launches combined, as SpaceX is willing to burn hardware during tests and they have many more Starship tests to go).

America is a bit different and, for some generations, consider ourselves better than the ugly factionalism and national identitarianism that led Europe into centuries of pointless warfare. One can be an African-Mexican-Asian-Queer-Irish-Jewish-Italian-American without subjugating one's identity.

Basically that's because "American" isn't a breed, like Scots or French. It's a political choice and an identity which is (should be) open to anyone who lives here and adopts the Constitution as the set of laws they want to live by.

Ironically, this is why Yarvin and Musk and Thiel will fail in their attempts at overthrowing the US government to create "network states". The US is the original state founded on a set of ideas rather than identities. (Since, at least, the Roman Republic). That is its strength, and something difficult for Europeans to really understand.
Generally SO sites are my fallback after asking AI, and my way to know that the working solution I got is not using outdated or suboptimal features.
Missing from headline: It is a RISC-V VM.
The degree of automation affects this very little, for 2 reasons:

- Anything you can easily automate (like pick & place machines for electronics, industrial robots for welding/assembly) will be automated anyway (no advantage for the US as location there)

- Even if you have 100% automation, you still need to pay (mainly) local workforce to set the whole thing up, and a lot of those jobs are even less competitive in the US wage-wise (construction crews, etc.)

Neither of those calculations is probably going to change much in the next decades. If you want to keep low-wage industry (like PCB assembly, heavy industry etc.) in a country like the US, then you will need to subsidise this with taxpayer money one way or the other (tariffs are essentially just that).

Agriculture is an example where this is already done (for obvious reasons related to people not starving in a trade crisis). But this is somewhat expensive (US agriculture subsidies are ~$20billion/year).

I think this will happen, and that some degree of it is a good idea (for strategic reasons), but framing this as a benefit for the average american is pretty much a lie-- because in the end, the taxpayer is on the hook for those subsidies, all those industries products are gonne get more expensive and other sectors are gonna get dragged down, too, because they have to compete for talent and might suffer from foreign trade retaliation.

Permission by who? Under what authority? Who is hosting the servers this thing sits on? Who has voting rights on it?

As soon as your proposing a scenario like:

> a sufficiently coordinated cabal of media people could just lie to the rest of us about the election result

then why would they not also be able to partition the network links to ensure updates don't propagate? And do you even still have a government if it can't exercise any significant control over it's territory (short answer: no).
I've lived in Austria and Germany for almost 20 years now and this is a pretty common question here.

Throw in the massive loss of manpower both from the war and from Spanish flu, then the damage from years of bombing in WW2.

PDFs work offline, and they are designed to represent printable pages, so if the end document has some use on paper, or if you want to allow users to fill it as a document and to do it completely offline, it make sense to use PDF.
I don't think you can compare the maturity of a 21 year old from the time of the American Revolution with the maturity of a 20 year old nowadays, no..
Being pedantic, TFA suggests something slightly different. The non_truncating_hash should be the default (and called something that reflects it, eg. just hash), and a separate truncating_hash function may exist. The difference (from an API design perspective) is pretty massive.
As is often the case, I think there is a massive over-reaction and panic over this. The decision of Lobsters (small and based in the US) to block UK visitors was particularly over the top, IMHO.

Ultimately, if you are in the UK and let people post kiddie porn on your blog/site unchecked or if you don't remove such content in a timely manner you will be in trouble. Arguably if you do that you are already in trouble. You need strong moderation and, in general, small forums and blogs have that because most platforms have 'report' buttons and because the teams behind those forums often read everything that is posted, anyway.
Does it run doom? ;-)
'That' being DRM?
Inconsistency comes from scaling - if you are optimizing your infra to be cos effective you will arrive at same tradeoffs. Not saying it's not nice to be able to make some of those decisions on your own - but if you're picking LLMs for simplicity - we are years away from running your own being in the same league for most people.
Excuse me but what do you need 10Gbps internet for? What is the use case? I get the cheapest thing that Comcast provides (50Mbps) and it seems to be enough for the 5 of us at home, everybody always streaming, gaming etc. I have an old asus router I got used in 2015 that I repaired with zip ties otherwise it powers off.
At work we have 'infinite' internet (on a class A IP block) and I do not feel any difference in browsing or streaming (obviously I do if I need to transfer a file)

Are you going to open that PDF in Adobe Reader?

If yes, Adobe has this friendly AI assistant forced into your face and overlapping floating toolbar on all sides of your document that you cannot get rid of to get a clean view of the document itself.

You are just rehashing the same debate ever since positive discrimination has been invented. There are thousand of pages available for you to read on the theoretical ethical implications and the actual practical results on the ground.

But if you want a TLDR: hiring is very inaccurate, arbitrary and inefficient _anyway_.

And (according to Google's 2024 own report) only 7.5% of U.S. staff are Latino and less than 6% are Black (after 4 years of diversification policy).

So TLDR^2: it is a non-problem.

I am mobile developer, and for the past four (4) years I have been working remotely on Ouisync App (https://github.com/equalitie/ouisync-app), as the front-end developer, using Flutter.

My previous experience was creating cross-platform apps for Android and iOS, using Xamarin Forms (now MAUI), and native Android apps using Java, and Kotlin.

I am currently based on Hong Kong, but I usually move to South America or Canada, for some time of the year, to be close to my family. Because of this, I prefer a remote position; but I am open to on-site if it is a good fit.

I know Asia is not the more friendly place for remote work, the timezone can be a bit extreme when interacting with other areas of the globe, so I have adjusted to work with teams in Europe and the Americas, therefore it is not a problem for me to base my work time on other timezone.

I am also a Sociologist, and I enjoy interdisciplinary projects, in which I can bridge humanities and technology, and think software on relation to human interactions.
That was 65 years ago. There are way more sophisticated ways now to influence things.
Password hash functions are designed to be slow, are designed to be use with salts, and may have low entropy inputs.

Hash functions themselves are general purpose and don't protect against low entropy inputs (low entropy passwords). They also don't protect against rainbow tables (pre-calculated digests for common or popular passwords). For password hashing you want something slow and something with unique entropy for each user's password to prevent rainbow attacks.

It doesn't solve the problem of weak passwords, but it's the best that can be done with weak passwords. The only improvement is to enforce strong passwords.
This isn't fundamentally different from PR speak which is already infesting the web.
WOW. It's hard to express just how impressive this is.
What about the 6809 processor? I believe this was even simpler, it was very consistent.
They will, and they'll still have a solid product to sell, because their value proposition isn't accurate OCR per se, but putting an SLA on it.

Reaching reliability with LLM OCR might involve some combination of multiple LLMs (and keeping track of how they change), perhaps mixed with old-school algorithms, and random sample reviews by humans. They can tune this pipeline however they need at their leisure to eke out extra accuracy, and then put written guarantees on top, and still be cheaper for you long-term.
It's pretty easy actually - most open source software fits the bill. Quality software can be pretty cheap to make per user.

The only problem is services where hosting costs need to be paid somehow and network effects mean that for-profit competition will win the market even if the product is inevitably enshittified. Doesn't matter how good your open and community funded event platform is if Apple and Facebook can afford to shove their solution in front of everyone you want to interact with.
Totally! I wrote an assembler once for the 6809, it was a lovely architecture.
Hello HN community,
I’m excited to introduce Supadex (https://www.supadex.app), a mobile app designed to help you manage and monitor your Supabase projects efficiently and on the go.

Key Features:

AI bots are a huge issue for a lot of sites. Just putting intentional DDoS attacks aside, AI scrapers can frequently tip over a site because many of them don't know how to back off. Google is an exception really, their experience with creating GoogleBot as ensured that they are never a problem.

Many of the AI scrapers don't identify themselves, they live on AWS, Azure, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud, so you can't really block them and rate limiting also have limited effect as they just jump to new IPs. As a site owner, you can't really contact AWS and ask them to terminate their customers service in order for you to recover.
