My reason for having each and every common ignore in each individual repo is that on the off chance that someone else wants to contribute to any of my projects, those files are already ignored for those people too.

And also, sometimes I work from different machines and I don’t really want to have yet another dotfile to sync between all my current and future machines.

(Yes, I know dotfile managers exist, but I literally only care about syncing my zsh config files and one or two other dotfiles mainly so I do that with my own little shell script and basically don’t care about syncing other dotfiles.)

The Dangers Lurking in the U.K.'S Plan for Electronic Eavesdropping
I agree with you. Knowing the exact column names can speed up an attack and, in some cases, make it more feasible.

Why don’t they just request disclosure of what’s actually stored and allow renaming of the columns? It seems odd that knowing the exact column names would be necessary if the goal is simply to understand what data is being stored and its intended purpose.

You could, theoretically, render django templates in the browser today. But you'll still need to contend with using a thin JS layer to access the browser dom. Mooting any real performance benefit, at least if you want accessibility and not a 00s-style flashblob of a page. AFAIK direct dom bindings for wasm aren't being taken seriously and may never really happen.

You don’t have to claim you are a licensed medical professional to be sued for medical advice that harms someone. You just need to present your advice in a way that a reasonable person would assume that you have some kind of medical expertise.

Based on the confident manner with which all LLMs present their answers and based on the fact that people are clearly using LLMs for their medical expertise, I think it would be pretty easy to go after one for giving medical advice that caused actual damages.

Assuming the US would actually need B21 capability in a war with China. Those will be probably blown up from the sky very fast. Besides I doubt wars with China and / or Russia will be limited to conventional means. Will probably escalate to nuclear very fast and then everybody is royally fucked.

SEO Strategist sounds like "Prompt Engineer" i.e not involved in the foundational creation of the tools and their back-end, understanding their internal mechanics, what is really to create a "Search" engine and how it works but you're rather reverse engineering and heuristically guessing how they work on surface. In essence you're optimizing keywords to improve a resource reach for a search engine, until the said search engine changes its ranking algorithm. Because of this I cant really give credit to what you are stating. Plus this really felt like hyping Grok out of nowhere with those cringe screenshots of tweets as if they were made up, until you hype something else weeks later and post about how Perplexity AI will kill OpenAI (They won't, they are a ChatGPT wrapper). Google is presumed dead multiple times per month. Read their financial statement, Search is literally their Life insurance, don't you think they have their best guys on it?
Actually the Drake equation may not say that:

> When we take account of realistic uncertainty, replacing point estimates by
probability distributions that reflect current scientific understanding, we find no reason to be highly confident that the galaxy (or observable universe) contains other civilizations, and thus no longer find our observations in conflict with our prior probabilities....When we update this prior in light of the Fermi observation, we find a substantial probability that we are alone in our galaxy, and perhaps even in our observable universe (53%–99.6% and 39%–85% respectively). ’

That is not something that's happening; surplus is tightly regulated now in Florida. Plus, reinsurers will not let insurers steal money that's meant to cover losses. It's cheaper for Florida to tweak the dials of surplus regulation than to become an insurance company because it would encourage loss-making behavior.
This is a refreshing break from the usual 'Replacement Excuse' in tech—'If I don’t do it, someone else will, so I might as well profit from it.'
I'm contemplating becoming an aircraft mechanic. I've always loved planes and I still sometimes wish I had chosen to become a commercial pilot. There's a "crash course" school near me that's designed to get you the FAA A&P certifications in eight months.

I was dating an HR lady (payroll) back in the day, and she got her colleague (recruiting) to do me the favor and we did some mock interviews and it was everything between wanted to cry and wanted to punch her! Then told me all the mistakes I was making she taught me how to rock on interviews and since 2003 I have succeeded in all-but-one interviews (mega-big bank, they told me I would be bored in 6 months with the monotony)(for someone like me that has moved across disciplines)(and they were probably right).

Now, the sticky/shitty thing is 'getting someone to talk to me', as for a PM role companies receive hundreds if not thousands of CVs.

Perhaps you can build a CV that shows a 'growth path' and not just jumping left and right. And then you (OP)need to hit the jackpot of finding a job that is seeking the diverse CV that you got.
But you shouldnt need to use file uploading services! File upload doesnt require additional services, it has been a well understood part of HTTP for decades. You can do file upload using normal web form submission in your web server/CMS/Rails/Laravel/CGI program without paying a monthly subscription to some service at an exorbitant markup.

Also, those filters are obviously imperfect. Remember the man who got his Google account terminated because he took a photo of his son's rash to send to his doctor?

I don't understand where you get "6p/dozen".

In that first link it says 2 dozen eggs is 1 pence (1d, denarius meaning pence). That works out to half a pence per dozen, not 6.

If it actually cost 3 days wages for a dozen eggs it seems pretty clear everyone would have starved to death.

SaaS Marketing Strategy: 80 articles and resources
I've been doing this recently with every URL I've bookmarked over the last 15 years or so since I signed up for pinboard.in. http://spider.cloud has been really nice for crawling sites and saving the results as markdown. I plan on expanding it to transcribing youtube videos I've saved, github repos I've starred, HN posts, etc.

Ultimately I'm trying to index my "window" to the web as embedded content in a vector store. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet but I imagine it will be a component of some kind of personal agent system I can use to reference old info and help as a writing tool or as an "idea generator" of some kind. I'll likely end up not using most of it but you never know.

I've scraped about 10k markdown files which has created a ~10gb chromadb instance so far. Eventually I'll probably create separate collections based on domain, and filter down items that I care about more.
And now the true reason for the plastic straw ban emerges.
This looks very useful for web apps. We have a use case for legacy Windows apps. How feasible is this kind of technology for performing agentic workflows in legacy native apps?
As someone who spends a lot of time travelling, I'd rank Istanbul to have the best döner in the world. You find alright stuff in Germany, acceptable options in the rest of Europe, and I've never failed to be disappointed by döner in the US (which is a shame, because I keep trying it because it's a top 10 good for me)

This is frankly odd, given that for most cuisines I can point at some other place surpassing the original. The best Italian food I've had has been in Chicago, the best Mexican food I've had is in San Diego. You can find extremely good authentic Chinese food in the Bay Area if you know where to look, but I can't say I've covered enough of China to confidently decide a winner there.

For the modern day atheist person the formula for happiness could also be

1) Ignore risks

2) Ignore complexity

3) Ignore higher levels in all domains, pretty much disregard classifications better/worse of sorts.
To me this is not particularly surprising, given that the tasks they are fine-tuned on are in some way malevolent or misaligned (generating code with security vulnerabilities without telling the user; generating sequences of integers associated with bad things like 666 and 911). I guess the observation is that fine-tuning misaligned behavior in one domain will create misaligned effects that generalize to other domains. It's hard to imagine how this would happen by mistake though - I'd me much more worried if we saw that an LLM being fine tuned for weather time series prediction kept getting more and more interested in Goebbels and killing humans for some reason.

Ask HN: Does anyone here take ArXiv seriously
Other than the original stuff that it was meant for do people take Arxiv seriously nowadays, there seems to be a lot of garbage propagating on there and I feel like the moderation there kind of sucks for the content.
Doesn't really bother me. 256GB isnt the lap of luxury but it's not bad, is what I'd bring on most trips.

If you can backup from the camera to SSD, that's a much much much more tempting option anyways. Anyone shooting video is already used to having a Samsung T7 SSD strapped somewhere to their rig. SD is handy as heck & so good to have but vastly fantastically slower & not as reliable.

As humans we've shaped the lives of most animals (pets, livestock, and wild animals). I don't think it's a bad thing to have changed their evolution, every animal is molded to their environment. What I feel bad about is that we've been rather poor stewards of animals, many domestic animals are mistreated but also we've been perpetrators of mass extinctions of wild animals.

The more I'm around animals the more I feel like they really matter, I've looked into their eyes and seen love and frustration and grief. It's a tragedy how callously we treat them in general.

The UK is in Europe. What other continent would it be in?

It isn't in the EU, but it is a member of the Council of Europe, which is why it is still a party to European Declaration of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights still hears appeals from the UK.

No international agreement can ever or has ever been capable of imposing legal constraints on the British Parliament because it is absolutely sovereign.

Gravity as in the actual force or field, not the current equations. You mentioned quantizing gravity, a few physicists like Penrose doubt it can be done. MWI is not a consensus, and there are more than two interpretations. Objective collapse theories have also been proposed, at least one involves gravity as the mechanism.
When ChatGPT came out, one of the things we learned is that human society generally assumes a strong correlation between intelligence and the ability to string together grammatically correct sentences. As a result, many people assumed that even GPT-3.5 was wildly more "intelligent" than it actually was.

I think Deep Research (and tools like it) offer an even stronger illustration of that same effect. Anything that can produce a well-formatted multiple page report with headings and citations surely must be of PhD-level intelligence, right?

(Clearly not.)
ArXiv includes quite a lot of unreviewed papers. Unless people are actually looking more deeply into the state of a particular paper, you can't assume that it's correct or meaningful.

ArXiv is not a bad service at all, but I think a lot of people think that everything there is more reliable than it actually is.

Looks like you changed your site and broke current links. For example, searching for EdgeQL gives me this as the first hit: https://docs.edgedb.com/database/edgeql. That redirects to https://docs.geldata.com/database/edgeql, which is 404.
Apart from, of course, the incentive of being undercut on price by the competition at (likely soon) a similar level of performance.
I wholeheartedly agree with this post. I also keep my notes in Markdown, I also have plenty of Python scripting around them, including automatic publishing of my website.

I use FSNotes today on macOS and iOS. Both apps are open source, both use well-structured .textbundle directories that separate Markdown content from JSON metadata and binary attachments. Synchronization happens through Git. It's a very powerful combination.

Ironically, I wrote a blog post some 8 years ago about this very subject. That blog post is now offline.

Sorry, but this is a ridiculous rant.

Hallucinations have become much less common among the SOTA models, especially for coding with good guidance.

I've been using Claude Sonnet 3.7 a lot the last two days, and to my knowledge, there have been zero hallucinations. It just does what I ask.

But when they do make coding mistakes - so what? So do humans.

I use it for non-coding questions all the time. The idea that the utility I get is completely negated because of occasional hallucinations is absurd.

Have you used any tools like Aider, Cursor or Code?
No, he expects the AI to kill us all even if it was built by a good guy.

Reminds me of the scene in Blood Meridian where they find a dog in an abandoned Apache camp and Brown says, “you won’t man that thing,” and Captain Glanton says, “I can man anything that eats.”
Wow, that's really surprising. My experience with much simpler RAG workflows is that once you stick a number in the context the LLMs can reliably parrot that number back out again later on.

Presumably Deep Research has a bunch of weird multi-LLM-agent things going on, maybe there's something about their architecture that makes it more likely for mistakes like that to creep in?
MCP seems nicer than requiring LLM hosts execute arbitrary curl calls to endpoints since it packages a tool into a dedicated plugin that users can opt into.
I wish I knew the paper, but https://github.com/chirp was a proprietary data-over-sound-through-air implementation that worked pretty well and sounded really cute (to my ears, anyway).

They can either have their cake or eat it. If they don't want to obfuscate the column names, they have to provide the data with the original ones.
Have you considered a fuji? The film simulations make for great SOOC shots without the need for editing.
It's about that it's a small-dedicated group that brings change and not government or private institution. If it's still hard to grasp, then think about how national movements started.
I think it's not the valuable stuff though. The valuable stuff is all the boilerplate, because, I don't want to do it. The rest, I actually have a stake in not only that it's done, but how it's done. And I'd rather be hands-on doing that and thinking about it as I do it. Having an AI do that isn't that valuable, and in fact robs me of the learning I acquire by doing it myself.
Not the best solution but you could use the HTML underline tag
Hum... The gotcha is that LLMs can rank for subject relevance, but not for most other kinds of quality.
Yeah, we'll be repairing this shortly. FWIW we're completely revamping our documentation, it's almost a full rewrite, focused on bringing clarity and logic to the navigation, improving search, etc. We should fully wrap it up in a week or two.

No, that link is for alphanumeric mode, which uses 5.5 bits per character (45 * 45 = 2025 <= 2048, so it fits in 11 bits).
I still remember some of the Berkeley genetics lectures as some of the best learning materials I could find for my upper-level courses. Later I tried to refer to them and found they were all gone. I wish there was any other option vs. just taking them down.
If matter falling into a singularity never reaches it because time slows down infinitely as you approach, wouldn’t this be a physical representation of a mathematical limit from calculus? The actual literal 1d singularity never forms but it is approached infinitely close.
