Another interesting (free!) book is Utah State's Riverscapes Restoration Design Manual [1], which is about "Process-Based Restoration" of streams. Unlike the more common "form-based" restoration, PBR provides materials in the form of hand-built structures of natural materials, especially large pieces of wood.

Actually, I'd really recommend first just looking at all the pictures in the "pocket guide" version of the book. [2]

I'm not sure if it's this way in your friend's case, but some people will do this on purpose. Usually it is remembered by people that do this intentionally, but sometimes you're just listening and don't want to become part of the conversation. Being put on the spot for people like that is often very negative, and is more likely to get them to forget what was going on, and instead concentrate on how uncomfortable they were made to feel.

I did this for a year or two when my first kid was born... I assigned penalty dollars with actions that I knew weren't good for me... didn't run for a week (outside of travel) 10$ to the kids account... stopped for fast food as opposed to having a real meal, 10$.

how nested is the data in the parquet files?
Cherry picking bits and pieces of research and then escalating them to much more general claims then they actually make really is the essence of good quality quackery though.

"avocados, for example, contain so much unsaturated fat that they can be carcinogenic and hepatotoxic" is exactly what he says in the article text. That explicitly read as "consumption of avocados can cause cancer", not the much weaker claim "it's possible that there's a mechanism by which avocados might cause cancer or be hepatotoxic but we don't actually know", which is what you actually get if you look at those reference.

Even the quotes he chooses are mismatched to what he says in the text. The liver one is about dietary avocado oils specifically, not avocados generally, and has the weakest possible conclusion that the chicks have something "suggestive of early stages of fibrosis" for unrefined but not refined. It's beyond just in vivo and animal model limitations, it: doesn't address dietary avocado consumption and doesn't conclusively show liver toxicity. That this reference is so weak, and yet the one he chose, is itself quite damning.

Ask HN: Best way to simultaneously run multiple projects locally?
Hey HN, I often work on couple of projects at the same time and am trying to figure out what’s the easiest way to run all of them at once.

For example, let’s say that I want to run frontend and two backend services (each it’s own repo).

My current approach is to run each on a different port, but I actually wonder whether setting up a small Kubernetes cluster with Traefik as proxy wouldn’t serve me better as I could then use Skaffold or something similar to deploy apps independently to the cluster.

Basically looking for true and tested solutions. Thanks.
Sure - but they're a politically possible one.

> It's fundamentally harder to to review patches than to review Git commits

I'm not familiar with kernel development, but after you pull the patches locally, can't you simply review the commits via `git diff` or with whatever viewer you use? This is how I often review code when using GitHub. I only use the GH interface for sending my comments, which is what email in the kernel workflow is for.

The only thing a web-based tool is helpful for is for grouping discussions, and being able to reference or find them later. This might be more tedious with typical web-based email UIs, but most offer some kind of threading and search support, so it can't be that bad.

> Sending and receiving email has so many barriers!

Email has many problems, but I don't see barriers to using it as one of them. There are literally thousands of providers to choose from that could be suitable for sending and receiving patches.

> The Linux Foundation literally has to manage a mail server that people who can't get access to a working mail setup can use!

linux.dev is not managed by the Linux Foundation but by Migadu. It's only offered as a convenience service for people on corporate networks who have no control over their email. They could just as well choose to use another provider.

> Using a git forge is dramatically easier to use and easier to set up, host and maintain.

You contradict this right in your next sentence. You're right that maintaining a centralized system at this scale would be a daunting task. Email being decentralized avoids this problem altogether.

The thing is that a "forge" provides several loosely-related services.

Sharing code is a basic one that Git already does quite well over HTTPS and SSH. What I don't understand is why the patches simply aren't shared this way instead of using email as the medium. The problems outlined in the original article are very real. Kernel development could follow a similar suggested model where URLs to pull from are shared instead, while keeping email strictly for reviews and discussions. This way everyone would be free to choose where they want to host their fork, and maintainers can simply pull from it. But I digress...

The other things forges are used for are code reviews, CI, bug tracking, planning, etc. It's debatable how helpful any of these services are, and many developers would have their own preference. You might like Gerrit, but that's not a universal opinion. And I think most developers would agree that code reviewing in GitHub or Gitlab is painful. If it was up to me, I would choose a tool like git-appraise instead, but I'm stuck with GitHub because that's what the teams I've worked on have preferred.

So my point is that email is likely not the best choice for this, but it's a reasonable one that's flexible enough to be usable by anyone. Forcing any other tool on everyone would likely displease an equal or greater amount of contributors, while also introducing maintenance and reliability problems.
>And boards are largely made up of senior management of other companies, scratching each other's backs.

My experience with boards is that everyone on them would rather be doing something else. If they could offload 90% of their work to AI they would.

I know I did when I was a secretary of (several) boards and used a stt model + Claude to write minutes and agendas for the meetings I was presiding over.

Everyone rather enjoyed having a full and (near) real time overview of everything that had been said over the last three years.

I'm still hoping someone would come up with a good diarization model so we can have in person board meetings with as good transcripts as the zoom ones.

You think people understand corruption? If they did, would they find anything remotely wrong with it?

No, I'm well aware of those and appreciate them. There's just very few examples of anything resembling that being created today (the social and professional incentives to do so have been phased out of the culture).

Nearly everything now is fast and cheap "money money money." We're living in a collapsing civilization. It's uncomfortable to think about, certainly, but it's a reality nonetheless.

The very values that have brought us here have been abandoned in favor of delusional thinking, greed, and shortsightedness in pursuit of ephemera like money and status. Where you do see some flicker of these values, more often than not, it's just marketing disguised as sincerity.

A negative outlook aside, I think it's very possible to do things in a way that have a time horizon of decades. I'm trying to do that with the things I'm building, but there's far less "ra ra" for that then there is for the inverse.

I don’t know that it’s a Golden Age fallacy here.

Few people wax poetic about the IRS master file or Air Traffic Control systems. These systems are/were crucial and ancient but survived with hardware upgrades and love and care of dedicated staff.

The Voyager was deployed once and the hardware has survived for decades. NASA flight control software of that era is a different league of fault tolerance and engineering.

Writing it is also painful by modern software standards.

I don't believe I have to point this out, but this is not a policy that I think is good, it's just one that will have the intended affect of onshoring manufacturing jobs. And I'm not talking about higher wages for quants, or MBAs, or HR, or software evangelists, or door-to-door salespeople, or cashiers at Dollar General, I'm talking about for people who are underemployed, unemployed, or doing some nonsense busywork because the manufacturing sector has been eroded away over the last 4 decades.

If government wasn't paying for this, SpaceX would never be able to develop Starship. It can only afford it thanks to NASA's contract.

This flight won't check any boxes as you said, but that doesn't change the fact that the program is mostly financed by the government.
Those are only sufficient to produce a execution trace rather than a full data trace which is needed for time-travel debugging.

Though they are sufficient to do what the person you responded to asked for which is just execution trace.
After four years of "This VLM will solve OCR forever!" posts I've firmly put VLMs in the "useless until 100t parameters" category.

Some day when there is enough internal state and training data that they can recognize tables, images and text we will get a gpt3 like moment that will make regular OCR obsolete.

But that day is very far off and everyone who I've talked with and consulted over using VLMs in their pipeline is better served doing something else specific to their use case.

An example I've used before: https://imgur.com/a/w2XKObh

The reply:

To extract the text contained within each box while ignoring the text in sub-boxes, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the outermost box and extract its text.
2. Move to the next outermost box and extract its text, ignoring any text within its sub-boxes.
3. Continue this process for all boxes.

Let's apply this to the image provided:

1. The outermost box contains the text: "This should be second".
2. The next outermost box (ignoring the sub-box within it) contains the text: "First".
3. The next box contains the text: "And also this".
4. The final box contains the text: "The quick brown fox".

So, the extracted text from each box, ignoring sub-boxes, is:

1. "This should be second"
2. "First"
3. "And also this"
4. "The quick brown fox"

None of this is settled economic theory. Even just the conclusion in the second sentence is highly debatable.

The example in the linked demo[0] seems less left-to-right.

Anyway, I think we'd expect it to usually be more-or-less left-to-right -- We usually decide what to write or speak left-to-right, too, and we don't seem to suffer much for it.

(Unrelated: it's funny that the example generated code has a variable "my array" with a space in it.)

I don't get where the author is coming from with the idea that a diffusion based LLM would hallucinate less.

> dLLMs can generate certain important portions first, validate it, and then continue the rest of the generation.

If you pause the animation in the linked tweet (not the one on the page), you can see that the intermediate versions are full of, well, baloney.

(and anyone who has messed around with diffusion based image generation knows the models are perfectly happy to hallucinate).
It uses Claude Sonnet 3.7, which is a game changer.

> The same kind of info can leak via dns records too, I think?

That's correct "passive DNS" is sold by many large public DNS providers. They tell you (for a fee) what questions were asked and answered which meet your chosen criteria. So e.g. maybe you're interested, what questions and answers matched A? something.internal.bigcorp.example in February 2025.

They won't tell you who asked (IP address, etc.) but they're great for discovering that even though it says 404 for you, bigcorp.famous-brand-hr.example is checked regularly by somebody, probably BigCorp employees who aren't on their VPN - suggesting very strongly that although BigCorp told Famous Brand HR not to list them as a client that is in fact the HR system used by BigCorp.
An interesting aside about the last crash:

> However, residents of the archipelago of Turks and Caicos told CNN they are still finding debris from the spacecraft littering beaches and roadways. The local government worked with SpaceX to craft a debris recovery plan. However, the contents of the plan have not been made public and it’s not clear who is paying for the cleanup effort.
