Reify is a general term, it means to "make concrete" (or to "make real" depending on the usage) something that is previously fuzzy or abstract.

When you make a concrete subclass of an abstract class, you are "reifying" that class. When you made the abstract class from the concept of something, you are "reifying" that concept.

It's a fun word.
As someone who stopped torrenting around 2015 or maybe 2016, what happened to uTorrent? Also RIP what.cd, I still am sad that it is gone.
On paper it's illegal to record the public street, but it seems to be given a pass for doorbell cameras, even going as far as the police asking people to sign up theirs into a database so they can request footage if needs be [0].

> In English and many other European languages, the principal means of distinguishing between multiple third-person referents is using gender or (lack of) reflexive. Thus, in "she saw him", it is clear that there are two third persons because they are of different genders. In "she saw her", it is clear that there are two third persons because otherwise, one would say "she saw herself". However, "she saw her mother" is ambiguous: it could mean that she saw her own mother or that she saw someone else's mother. This is because it is not clear, in some contexts, if "she" and "her" refer to the same person. An obviative/proximate system has a different way of distinguishing between multiple third-person referents. When there is more than one third person named in a sentence or discourse context, the most important, salient, or topical is marked as "proximate" and any other, less salient entities are marked as "obviative". Subsequent sentences that refer to previously-named entities with pronouns or verbal inflections can then use the proximate and obviative references that have already been established to distinguish between the two.[0]

As an avid language learner I'm trying to create the best tool for intermediate to advanced learners, so for those who know that there is no silver bullet and learning takes years of effort, instead of some magical hack that AI-bros are trying to sell you.

https://okuread.com/ is a desktop App that works completely offline and helps you read foreign language texts and learn vocabulary that way. No AI-garbage included.

Right now I'm working on an open source platform for enabling human pronunciations in Oku. Anki/Flashcard integration and a UI redesign are also all scheduled sometime in Q2.
At work we have two applications in production with Directus, a CMS and a CRM, both highly specialized (~35 custom extensions) for our use-cases.

We've had our teething issues, mostly with migrations and the UX in some areas, but overall it has saved us a ton of dev time and been a great force multiplier for us.

I also use it at home to manage my notes, tasks, and such as structured data.
Only to prospective buyers/partners/team members for now, as I need to carefully manage my time. If that's you, please reach out :) In any case, based on the interest in this thread I'll do a separate Show HN thread in a couple of weeks/months!
With Emacs 30 I've stopped compiling from the master branch, preferring the tagged releases.

GNU Emacs 30.0.92 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2024-12-03

It seems that most of the features I was eager to try from the master branch at various times (starting from native comp, then tree-sitter, use-package (although I've started using elpaca instead), modus themes, transient, etc.) have been merged. A lot of great features have been added to Emacs in recent years. Kudos to the maintainers!
This is a very refreshing take.

Our current intellectual milieu is largely incapable of nuance—everything is black or white, on or off, good or evil. Too many people believe that the AI question is as bipolar as every other topic is today: Will AI be godlike or will it be worthless? Will it be a force for absolute good or a force for absolute evil?

It's nice to see someone in the inner circles of the hype finally acknowledge that AI, like just about everything else, will almost certainly not exist at the extremes. Neither God nor Satan, neither omnipotent nor worthless: useful but not humanity's final apotheosis.
Multiple things

* An open-source desk scheduling solution: https://workplacify.com/ (GitHub: https://github.com/igeligel/workplacify)

* A bit passively: https://sheetsinterview.com/ - Hackerrank for Excel/Google sheets (I need to add some more task templates, hopefully with AI)

* A Chakra UI v3 component library for SaaS
This seems promising. I can't wait.
Alternatively, a minimal client with few features that can seed large numbers of torrents without crashing or freezing. Settings for how many it may seed at a time, prioritize that what needs seeding, ignore overly seeded things. Options to seed only blocks no one has. Remotely controlled.
Eclipse user here. I haven't installed any plugins (other than a few home-grown ones) in many years now. It mostly ships with everything I need by default.

It is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I'm saddened to see that the Eclipse foundation seems to be spending way more time and energy on Theia than on Eclipse these days :-(.

IntelliJ and VSCode are non-starters for me. There's something about their UX that rubs me the wrong way. I've tried both extensively, and can't get used to them.
I couldn't find details on any such agreement, I'd be curious to see it. The only treaty signed between the two countries from that period I could find was the leasing to Russia of the Sevastopol naval base in exchange for preferential gas prices to Ukraine.

Still, to be very clear, I don't mean in any way to claim that Russia has any justification whatsoever for invading Ukraine and stealing their land, with or without some treaty.

Oh definitely, I thought about writing about it but omitted it, I should have added it earlier
I’m creating an observability tool that I’m trying to make user-centric while staying developer friendly. Most of the tools for remote logging, live dashboards and alerts are either too big, too expensive, or have a “per seat” plan, and incorporate the famous “home” screen with metrics and tips you absolutely never care of. I’m also trying to stay cheap and focused on very few techs (node, Postgres, docker, react) and make it stay as a monolith.

So far I’ve put all the side projects I manage (5 of them) and it’s working great. I can follow and query the logs, the JSON payloads by path, see live metrics like number of users currently online, etc. Even if I don’t get any customers I’ll continue developing it for my own needs! Will soon be adding alerts through webhooks, slack, discord, etc.

If you want to try it out: https://app.getboringmetrics.com (no landing page yet).

Edit: just want to say that if you want to try the software but not keep it, you can create an account in under 10 seconds, send a curl request to see logs arrive in realtime, and delete your account in 5 seconds. I do not track anything and do not keep a single piece of data.

Change can be spurred on by law. If governments aren't allowed to use non-EU (or maybe specifically US) hosters a big enough investment could jumpstart it. I'm working for a semi-government organization who just switched over to kubernetes. That can be hosted anywhere, there's not really a moat.
Only if you wildly oversimply to the level of being misleading.

The precise mechanism LLMs use for reaching their probability distributions is why they are able to pass most undergraduate level exams, whereas the Markov chain projects I made 15-20 years ago were not.

Even as an intermediary, word2vec had to build a space in which the concept of "gender" exists such that "man" -> "woman" ~= "king" -> "queen".
I never got deep into any lisp like language but this was one of my favorite aspects of them - homoiconicity.

Lamotrigine is worth checking out for those who never tried it. Antidepressants never worked for me either. But, Lamotrigine eliminated the worst of my depression and constant ideation. Apparently, it rarely works for people, but when it does, it works really well (see past HN comments containing “Lamotrigine”).
Except Mastodon already exists.
You're right, of course. There is a difference between methylphenidate and other amphetamine-class stimulants for ADHD, but I didn't know what to call it.

I should have said it's not a direct agonist. Instead of directly causing dopamine release, it acts as an allosteric modulator on DAT to affect reuptake.

I had a study in mind that found switching to MPH was effective at lowering the equivalent dose (the tolerance did not carry over), but my Googling is failing me right now. Appreciate the correction.

Physician supervised ketamine therapy has worked wonders for people with PTSD, at least one of whom I know personally.

As a C maintainer, you should care how the other side of the interface is implemented even if you're not actively involved in writing that code. I don't think it is reasonable, for software quality reasons, to have a policy where a maintainer can simply pretend the other side doesn't exist.
Have you looked over the data that OP is providing here and determined that it doesn't meet your needs?

Generally it's polite to avoid scraping if you can help it, so I'd start by considering whether OP is already providing what you are looking for.
I don't understand. Can companies curry government favor to get tariff exceptions? Aren't the tariffs in place already?
Fun idea, but not the right way to end an addiction. Making it more difficult to get the dopamine (really epinephrine) hit will only lead to more frustration and reinforce the relief when you get your reward. In other words, it only makes the reward more pleasurable.

They did, 30 km/h is a lot safer than higher speeds. You seem to imply someone has to be hit by a car before enforcing the speed limit, am I correct?
Ask HN: What's the most complex application you've built with ChatGPT?
People who build vendor locked applications are making a short-sighted decision. Call me old-school, but vendor lock-in benefits developers more than businesses. Agree that they can learn new shuny things. A well-built application should run seamlessly on any Linux-based system without unnecessary dependencies on proprietary ecosystems.

Anything involving private links to other organisations, cloudflare or API management to multiple endpoints scattered over on prem and hosted. I would hope you could avoid most of the pitfalls by avoiding the proprietary solutions but sometimes there is no feature parity between host services and you might be stuck.

The private links in Azure are particularly specific.

It's not though.

The mythos of the liberals is way more personnalized, usually assigning moral failings to people who disagree eith them, something like "those people are dumb enough to be manipulated, we ought to explain thing slower/better" "we are on the reason's side". The fondamental attribution error is probably the fallacy for which liberals (authoritarians liberals especially) are the most susceptible to.

For the leftist movements, the mythos will either go to a marxist or neomarxist "We oppose the billionaire/landlords/owner class, and must struggle together to put it down, educate yourself and those close to you" or to a more generic anti-system mythos.

Furthermore, the left is often egalitarian, and the "traitor in our rank" mythos is mobilized to explain why you are not above X depite being (genetically for nazis, culturally for fascists) superior.
Dang this is a cool project, I'd love to follow along anywhere. Are you posting about your progress online?
I can't talk about the life cycle of clojure libraries, but i have seen common lisp libraries that haven't been updated for almost 10 years that work perfectly. There is little the maintainer needed to fix.
- An instagram e-commerce search engine for LATAM (starting with Colombia): https://dev.dommo.app (still in development)

- poesia.pics - to generate poetry (spanish) from pictures

- podtafolio.co - a podcast directory (colombia). it generates a summary of the episodes and provide a search experience
Generally a lot of web-dev which is where I would assume LLMs shine the best. I noted elsewhere but I think it depends a lot on the age of the product and the level of velocity. For early life products where the speed of your velocity matters, I think you can get the most benefit. The more mature the product and the slower the team implements features, the benefits are still measurable but not as high.
a lot of this sounds like a normal course of business and stuff that msft does all the time. i don't understand the openai drama speculation on here. msft continues to have right of first refusal on openai training and exclusivity on inferencing. if someone else wants to build up openai capacity to spend money on msft for inferencing, msft would be thrilled. they recognize revenue on inferecing not training at the moment, so it's all upside to their revenue numbers
For the regular case, 5-10 seeders will hold up an entire torrent indefinitely and without any issues. The contribution leechers make drops off very quickly if good seeders exist.

My algorithm did favour the best peers (both upload and download) but a few years ago switched to a "seeded" ordering to prevent bad behaviour clients dumping or starving new peers.

The garbage uploaders are not an issue. You can isolate peers to pieces and remove them with certainty, or use a technique called smartban which uncovers bad peers very quickly.
I built this chess game to my satisfaction: https://taonexus.com/chess.html it works on mobile and desktop, supports drag and drop, and the computer plays (badly). All the rules of chess are supported.
In the end it's the mentality that matters.
In my very very humble opinion, there are no big differences, given the same economic landscape and possibilities for 2 individuals, when one obsesses over FIRE and another that obsesses over having to work and feeling bored if not working.

What you described seems the right balance, even if they overworked themselves too much for a few years. If they were able to pull the plug and enjoy life afterwards with family, hobbies, travels and pet projects, well, it was worth it IMO.

Since you seem to understand the mechanism, can you do a 3 line summary please?
Its all ice and snow outside. I'd be locked out for a while

Then again maybe that would be a good thing.
I think that’s only true if you think easy access to the correct information isn’t a hurdle. That same argument would claim the internet didn’t make it easier either because we already had libraries.
Only product in my orbit that is based on NetBeans is Microchip's MPLAB X IDE, but it hasn't been updated in over a year. I'm starting to wonder if they are having issues or will abandon it for VS Code.

Nobody missed the point. The examples of AWS after 15 years still being dragged into full IPv6, is to show the lack of support for IPv6, is not the lack of technical awareness that is trying to be demonstrated.

Depending on the context, and granted, lacking some of the subtle details missing in the interaction described, might actually show real experience in the field.

SolidJS Is Not the Future
See my other comment, good seeders carry most of the network these days. Upload bandwidth has become huge since BitTorrent first debuted so true P2P for resource reasons is not really a necessity anymore.

When it comes to things like this, as cliche as it may sound, your best bet is to probably bring up those fears with your psychiatrist to evaluate the pros/cons with them.

Like most things, there is most likely a tradeoff - but your doctor also most likely prescribed the dosages based on the pros outweighing the cons, but only you can bring up how you feel about specific cons to the doctor.
Seems consumers just hate every product with AI functionality.
Those are slightly different things than treaties (as the articles you quote show, many of those ceasefires were unilaterally declared by Russia, not the result of an agreement between the two parties). Still, I don't mean in any way to praise Russia here, or even to claim that the USA is just as bad as Russia on this.

As bad as many of the US unilateral cancelations of treaties I mentioned are, they do not in any way compare to the horrifying aggression that Russia is showing in Ukraine, both at the basic level of invading a neighbor to steal their land, and in the details of how they are pursuing this illegitimate goal. Putin and his general are war criminals to a degree that few others in the last decade could be described (Netanyahu and Assad probably being the main "competitors", and Assad was only able to do what he did with Putin's help).
I wouldn't say that it is a good analogy, since both types of searches in no way change the array they are searching in.
While tech products do change lives of their users.
Maybe lossless|lossy would be a better analogy?
Ketamine taken under the supervision of a physician is an effective treatment. I have seen its effects with my own eyes.

Do not fuck around with street drugs. If the FDA didn't approve it, there could be anything in it.
Ironically, the lower you are to the ground, the faster it feels - everyone should drive a sports car!

(conversely, I drive a motorcycle sometimes which puts my head at or just over roof height of most cars, it makes 80 km/h not feel as fast. Mind you, the added road overview also helps)

Anyway. Narrow / winding roads and speed bumps will definitely make you want to drive slower. We have 'cars are guests' roads inside cities too, which are roads designed and coloured like bike paths (= red asphalt).

But the opposite is also true; I got a speeding ticket once, the road was a 4 lane, separated directions asphalt ring road... but the speed limit was 50 km/h.
It's not a resource problem; everyone inside the system has no real incentive to do anything innovative; improving something incrementally is more likely to be seen as extra work by your colleagues and be detrimental to the person who implemented it.

What's more likely is a significantly better system is introduced somewhere, NHS can't keep up and is rebuilt by an external. (Or more likely it becomes a inferior system of a lesser nation as the UK continues its decline).
Okay this might help!
Sure, and that's ideal for the maintainers that are willing to do that (and there are several), but for the C devs that just don't care and can't be forced to care, this is a pragmatic compromise. Not everyone has to be involved on both sides.
> Do you believe that someone who committed murder deserves to be held against their will in an unsafe environment?

Absolutely. Give them what they want. Give them a taste of their own medicine. If they don't want to be civilized - don't give them civility.
My first thought too. Don't know if it would have made any difference in the end result but LSD and Psilocybin Mushrooms are ranked much safer than Ketamine and unlike Ketamine, aren't addictive.

When I saw the Psychedelics headline I was expecting these two plus maybe DMT. Some people consider Ketamine as psychedelic drug but it's really a dissociative drug.
Yup, the UX has gotten so much worse.
Me, in what concerns Java based projects, Eclipse at work, Netbeans at home.

Still the best one integrating UI designers for Swing, two way editing for Web projects, profiler, and best of all JNI support in the box (InteliJ wants to sell you two IDE licenses for this one).

And best of all, Maven and Ant build files just work as IDE projects, no additional configuration.
A common hypothesis for why Nvidia is so hot is because they have an effective monopoly on the hardware to train AI models and it requires a crap ton of hardware.

With DeepSeek it’s been demonstrated you can get pretty damn for a lot cheaper. I can only imagine that there are tons of investors thinking that it’s better to invest their dollars in undercutting the costs of new models vs investing billions in hardware.

The question is, can Nvidia maintain their grip on the market in the face of these pressures. If you think they can’t, then a short position doesn’t seem like that big of a gamble.

It’s not a perfect rule but I find that Qt apps tend to resemble KDE apps and have questionable design choices more often than not, even those that aren’t related to the KDE project in any way.

It’s consistent enough that it makes me wonder if maybe something about the tooling is partially to blame.
Well, also, sadly, the first thing I would want to be right now happens to be... a GUI, which seems to be the archnmesis of Java in general, and clojure in particular ;)
Sorry I deleted that chat on the spot. I can try your exact prompt on my Gemini if you give it to me. Note that I'm using whatever Google gives out for free.
I think IntelliJ blows out the competition on the out-of-the-box experience. "Open project" works with a regular folder, no importing dance, auto-detects Java build tools, for anything needing a plugin, there is a popup that you approve with one click. Nothing comes close.
And what qualities of an audit would you trust from a department that acts like that? They’re not, for example, combining all prior audits into a sophisticated longitudinal audit research tool. They’ve prepared their conclusions to hold even if they misplace three orders of magnitude.
Thanks for this indepth response. It's made me realise that I'm very much in the linux "smashing together different projects" camp. Probably much more so than other linux users seeing as I prefer to use super minimalist distros like Alpine + my favourite utils, rather thant he standard GNU/Linux.
Linus said that non-rustacean C programmers cannot veto rust code, but he did not clearly state how it works going the opposite way. It was rustacean-proposed changes on the C side that led to this drama. I don't see much progress here.
