We're working on Windows support for the scripting and blockchain languages.

I am sorry if the headline felt misleading or the current support disappointing: we do have experimental Ruby support, that you can try right now if you record a `<somepath>.rb` program.

We do design the frontend, trace format/lib and backends to support multiple languages. Ruby is already having experimental support, and we try to keep various other languages/usecases in mind. We hope to find a model that lets us work more on supporting many more scripting languages. We'd also love contributors/the community adding support for languages or codetracer itself!

We also do have a closed source backend based on RR[1] that has partial C/Rust/Nim support, but it is not yet ready. It might be released as a proprietary solution. (However if we find an alternative sustainable business model, it would be great to be able to open source it.)

The scripting/blockchain languages backend is more db-like: it collects a trace by hooking in tracing API-s or instrumenting/patching vm-s (the trace is later postprocessed before replay).

The system languages backend is based on RR[1] recordings currently.

We'd be happy to discuss more usecases or languages!

And the top comment is about Emacs. Yep, that's a vi post alright.
Most popular websites gather a lot of intelligent people. Nothing specific to 4chan.
This is relevant when companies are paying for access to specific models and are restricting their employees access to other models

Your model isn't improving

The profitability will depend on the production costs for each mine. Those at the margin set the price. If it stays high long enough new mines will open or too low and unprofitable mines will close. The excess profits earned by those that have easily accessible high quality ore are known as 'resource rents' but eventually they will be fully exploited and have to close.

Apparently a great uncle of mine found gold on his family farm in Scotland, but it was never profitable to exploit so saw no benefit from it!
How it compares to other libraries in this space, e.g. reedline or rustyline?

Tables? I regularly run into PDFs where even the body text is mangled!
You will have to send one page at a time, most of this work has to be done via RAG. Adding a large context (like a whole PDF), still does not work that well in my experience.
they should have single blog, and tags for you to filter...
>they're actually not nice technologies to use for most normal people who are not techies.

They were "polite", to put it in another frame. for RSS and IRC: You controlled the platform and essentially you decided to connect to services to extend your own platform. But corporations decided that you must use their platform or leave.

> The web couldn't have "stayed as RSS & IRC" unless it also stayed a small niche community for geeks.

I don't think it needed to be. People complain so much these days about finding another streaming service or games store or... well not music these days. The model they want is the one they abandoned.

Imagined you have a "netflix" as a UI and you simply browse for services to subscribe or unsubscribe to. Then your UI controls all the sorting, filters, libraries, etc. That was essentially RSS for articles. Of course, people with Plex or Emby don't need to imagine this. But an ethical framework would have been nice. I wouldn't call Plex's UI any less intuitive than any private platform.

The only argument that may hold weight here is that "you're not gonna get a good UX scheme without someone in the private sector being paid 200k/yr to figure it out". But if that's the requirement for progress, I question how my country did anything the first 200 years.

>it means you still haven't truly stepped outside your mind to internalize why users have different preferences and priorities on how to interact with the web.

Sure, people don't care about ads and I vehemently hate them in my media. I understand, I just highly disagree. I don't want an easier experience at the cost of all my personal data extracted to Morgan who calls me 5 times an hour about my extended warranty. I don't want a company being the sole factor in deciding on what I want to watch, or especially search for. Yadda yadda.

But apathy reigns supreme.

EDIT: I'll also address one argument in the RSS article: I think it's a bit biased to say "people don't follow cooking recipe websites"... on a forums focused on mostly technical topics. Most people don't follow literally everything. I'm sure you can definitely find a community of cooks and find their versions of Cory Doctorow or John Carmack or Sam Altman if you engage in such cooking discourse. But if you don't engage, then some relatively slop of "how to bake a chicken" suffices just fine, similar to any slop article in tech on "how to fix blue screen" that is just telling you to reset your computer

You don't make a community out of lurkers. But modern platforms sure do profit off them.
TIL that Carl Linneaus invented the 3x5 card. Good stuff.
The challenge I have is how to get bounding boxes for the OCR, for things like redaction/de-identification.
Eric Schmidt sounds the alarm over a 'Manhattan Project' for superintelligent AI
It's wild to me that they would acquire a company for $295m and then shut it down six years later. I'd be really curious to know if this is a failed acquisition or if they think they'll be able to retain previous ops genie customers on their new products.
I know what you're going through. It's so incredibly hard to rejoin society after a period of isolation, social skills atrophy. Making a new close friend in middle age is not easy.

You sound like you're where I was 1-2 years ago. I still deeply miss my old life, but I'm no longer at the bottom of a hole that seems impossible to climb out of.

>I think I am so damaged that I just need to live without my needs being met. It's the only way forward but it seems so wrong and painful.

Yes. Put one foot in front of the other and bear the pain. It won't always suck this bad. I struggle with anhedonia and used to think it made life not worth living. Then I experienced psycotic depression, and now that I'm on the other side the anhedonia is bearable by comparison. Life's never so bad it can't get worse, hitting really deep lows gives you perspective on accepting more shallow lows. You may never feel great, but you can feel good enough to make living life better than the alternative.

I'd be happy to chat sometime if you want.
Sure but you can search for communities then use the platform-native search. Not as convenient as a search engine natively supporting, though.
I've been searching relentlessly for something like this! I wonder why it's been so hard to find... is it the Chinese?

In any case, thanks for sharing.
PurrCrypt: Steganographic encryption disguised as pet sounds
Forcing someone to live through a disease when they have already lived a full life is simply cruel. Why should someone have to suffer on their way out?
Claude does ask questions for clarification or asks me to provide something it does not know though, at least it has happened many times to me. At other times I will have to ask if it needs X or Y to be able to answer more accurately, although this may be the same case with other LLMs, too. The former though was quite a surprise to me, coming from GPT.
> That’s my point, I want to skip to the part where we know what LLMs are good for, what they are bad for, and just consider them another tool at our disposal.

Totally agree with that.
Pretty basic advertisement for a content advertising op. Model picking is bad UX because, so we'll automate it for you, smash that call-to-action button now.

Their energy, their focus, their attention. Your attention. All the time people spend in stress / outrage / fear / whatever in reaction to these events, that's time and energy not available to look at the news that get less coverage (which are usually the more important).

It also sucks all the air out of other internal political discussion - US trade relations take #1 priority and so everything else either gets forgotten or put on hold.

Easy way to set your opponents back when you have the upper hand like the US does.
The French Revolution began when the government tried to repudiate its debts once too often. It wasn't the peasants or the urban poor who were holding the bonds. Once the revolution really got going, many things changed. But an Austrian historian remarked that men are very attached to their goods, and that the Jacobins fell more because of their assignats than because of the guillotine.
I don't necessarily disagree on the need - but it's not my (re)definition.

Having said that - I rather like the use. "Stupid" is part of quartet. All humans are categorised in four categories: intelligent (I), helpless (H), stupid (S), bandit (B). In X-Y coordinate system, by quadrant Q, actions taken by Tom, that affect both Tom (on X-axis) and Dick (on Y-axis):

- Q1 (+,+) Tom gain and Dick gain => Tom was intelligent (I).

- Q2 (-,+) Tom loss and Dick gain => Tom was helpless (H).

- Q3 (-,-) Tom loss and Dick loss => Tom was stupid (S).

- Q4 (+,-) Tom gain and Dick loss => Tom was a bandit (B).

Specifically on the S-Stupid in quadrant Q3 (-,-):

+ There is no upper bound on the amount of stupidity that can exist within any particular individual.

+ We always underestimate the number of stupid people.

+ The probability of a person being stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

+ A stupid person is someone who causes damage to another person, or a group of people, without any advantage accruing to himself (or herself), or even with some resultant self-damage. (Golden law of stupidity)

+ Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people, and that it's impossible to predict the actions of the stupid.

+ A stupid person S is the most dangerous person (compared to I, H, B), and crucially stupid S is more dangerous than a bandit B.

This is all on individual one unit level. Another relevant observation I can think of is Bismarck-ian most dangerous general — stupid and energetic.

Bonhoeffer is the one to make a connection to morality. That looks very important observation to me. And that it happens in groups, like a mind virus-I can see that. Sabine's video is all about collective stupidity. (Extraordinary Popular Delusions as a mirror image to Wisdom of crowds.)
>Also, the claim that melee weapons are somehow comparable to modern firearms is quite laughable.

People laugh at all sorts of things that aren't very funny.

The body counts for most of the school shootings (and other, various, non-school shootings) that people complain about are just under double digits, or manage to roll right up into double digits. Blade attacks are perfectly capable of that many injuries and deaths within the time constraint of a typical police response. This is born by fact, where such knife attacks have managed those body counts. There are a half a dozen or more in recent years in China, and at least one in Europe that I can think of.

>You use confusing double-talk to trick them into believing you are on their side and you fight for them.

No one with any sense here thinks I "fight for them". I'm just showing that I'm not unwilling for them to exercise their own rights to self-defense. This is because a principle is at stake. If it also contrasts with the general lack of principles among those who advocate gun control somehow, that's their problem.
My guess is that is how they want to commercialise, they make that bit harder so that more people pay for their hosted solution. I have sympathy, monetisation allowing maintaining FOSS can be a challenge. We all have bills.

I agree with a lot of what you say. Tbh, this is also why we are advocates of app-embedded ZTNA. You get mTLS (and way, way more) out of the box, without the overhead, and its super easy to run your K8S or non-K8s workloads anywhere. No need for VPNs, inbound FW ports, complex ACLs, L4 loadbalancers, public DNS and more. It is thus much easier to build distributed systems which are secure by default from network attacks.
> How many people would know what Lynx is. My guess is very few.

And mine is that it's more than you think. Especially when compared to the number of people who know what vi is. Neither of us have figures to prove our points. My indirect argument was that the fact that lynx is included by default hints that I am not entirely wrong.
Your response to that is essentially that distros packagers don't know what they are doing. I won't get in a debate on the competency of people and accept this opinion as yours.

> You took my argument and basically butchered the main point.

This was absolutely not my intention. If I misunderstood your point, please correct me and tell me how I should have read it.

> Its trivial to understand why this is a bad argument (appeal to emotion)

No. The argument for including software that have specific accessibility features is not to appeal to your emotions. The reason for having accessible software is that, as niche as it may be it is useful. No one should care how non-disabled users feel about this, and certainly no one should care whether you or I think this is too niche.
> If a global set of "Don't be an asshole" values could be defined,

The history of "rights" is what you're looking for, and this would come in the form of a list of rights.

You would probably get a lot out of reading The Declaration of the Rights of Man (https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/rightsof.asp), as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma...).

Thomas Paine wrote about the philosophy of rights as well, and you would probably get a lot out of reading his works such as The Rights of Man (https://www.ushistory.org/paine/rights/c1-013.htm)

Something being a right means that law does not grant it. If law granted it, it would be a privilege rather than a right. Governments exist to protect rights, but they don't grant rights. That's the solution to the bootstrapping problem for non authoritarian forms of government and why it is always OK to defend your rights, even if they are illegal under a specific form of government. America's founding document, the declaration of independence, is explicit about this idea.

> shared and progressed

No, this is where you are wrong, you didn't use the word defend, and that's really where the problem with liberal ideas starts and ends. They must be defended, at personal cost, with force.

Defending an idea that can't reward or punish you will not be as profitable or safe as defending a man who can reward or punish you. It is much easier for a man to build an army than for an idea to build an army. It will always be painful to defend your rights in the short term, but if you don't you will never have rights in the long term.

Solidarity, risking your own safety and well being for the benefit of someone else, is the only way to achieve a world you want to live in, but some of the builders of that world won't get to experience it, and that's a hard sell to people who just want to see their kids smile.

I have strong experience building backend applications for product and platform teams. I also have experience managing a team of full-stack engineers developing platform engineering tools. I have worked across the stack—frontend, backend, and infrastructure—in various domains across startups and enterprises. I am interested in developer experience, distributed systems, platform engineering, backend systems, web services.
Neat. I'll check it out.

One suggestions: the README advertises lovely TUIs. Show us a screenshot, or screencast, so we can see what you mean!
“How can I decouple from the US as fast as possible?” is what this leads to.

Diplomacy is the art of saying “good dog” until you make it to the rock. The US will apply pressure for short term gain against allies while they move away long term.
In Star Trek money exists but there isn't much use for it because technology has made material abundance cost approximately nothing.

Star Trek doesn't show the 50 billion landwhales watching Netflix all day, because it makes for bad television. It shows the 1% who still work even when they don't have to, who work because they want to.
If you're generating long text to send to people and summarizing long text that people send to you, you're just wasting other people's time.

They also talk about democratizing art- are they using LLMs' probably vast corpus of art feedback to improve their own work? Well, no.
Where does this fit in the Ansible + PXE boot vs Terraform vs NixOS scale? Seems to be within that space, but before the "infrastructure as code" phrase was coined.
We have ventured far enough outside my sphere of competence that I'm running out of ways to constructively engage, but I'm sure some of your points will linger in my mind.

I have had no direct exposure to what you're describing in your third and forth paragraphs, and so I am not in a position to agree or disagree. All I can say is that I haven't seen it yet. What I have seen is misrepresentation (from both sides) and a pattern of media of all types stoking division.

A few years ago I learned about the concept of "most respectful interpretation" as a tool for conflict resolution and establishing trust in teams. So much of media these days feels like the opposite.

I'm trying my best to understand what's true, while accepting my own limitations and the reality that I may never be able to tell what's really going on at the global power level. At the very least it seems to require a lot of reserving judgement.

If the media is a stained glass window, looking through the blue glass and then the red glass is not the same thing as looking through clear glass.
I agree in principle, but I feel like we're not "there" yet, especially for tools like Copilot that allow models from different vendors.

I do expect to see a unified model interface for regular ChatGPT and similar tools this year (especially since sama has been talking about it), but for more technical tools that have various models I'd like to keep the choice overall, at least for right now.
We may need to take over that area. Mexico is going to keep letting its cartels run the land, then we ought to clean it up and turn it into a safe vacation resort area.
Hmm the Thinkpad T14 might drop to $1000 but I've literally never seen a current generation X1 Carbon go that low.
It seems to be priced about the same as the BYD Dolphin with much less range. The surely low sales numbers will make it the 'Volkswagen ID. NO1'

Yes, it is. But clearly in a different codebase. Crazy that two teams were using this same esoteric, broken prctl and diagnosing the problem it caused in such short succession.
Ask HN: Hetzner Ashburn slowed to 100K speeds?
We[1] have been very happy using Hetzner cloud servers in Ashburn and Helsinki over the past couple years, and suddenly in the last couple weeks, we noticed a big slowdown to all our servers in Ashburn. We set up some testing to check throughput and from most places in the world, the file download speed out of any Ashburn server of ours on multiple Networks has slown to ~100K (ie pre-internet modem speed).

Is anyone else experiencing this? It does sporadically return to fast, but in general its slow now. Strangely enough, there is no slow down for access to Ashburn from the Bay Area, but from LA, Europe, seems most anywhere outside of Bay Area, 100K.

The response we received from Hetzner support about this:
Dear Client,

```
The host systems of our cloud servers are connected at 10Gbps.
Cloud servers are shared systems. This means that you share the host resources, including the network, with other users. As a result, cloud server performance can vary during peak periods, although we try to keep our systems as stable as possible.

We only offer guaranteed bandwidths for Dedicated-Root-Servers.
```

As far as I know there are no dedicated servers offered in Ashburn.

Looks really interesting. I like the approach of writing pure functions that return descriptions of IO tasks to perform. A couple of questions:

1. Why async?

2. Why couple to anyhow instead of using an associated error type?

I think we are just talking past each other. You didn't think my nuance was necessary, and that's OK.

It seems like they keep trying it and hoping the markets respond better.

But watching today, it seems like the markets aren't getting tricked anymore.
Well, even if we agree that's the best we can aim for as a species (how sad), soon we won't even have that luxury.
I agree with this so much. I've tried to sometimes push friends and family to use text formats (at least I sent them something like Markdown), which is very easy to render in the browser anyways. But often you have to fall back to PDF, which I dislike very much. There's so much content like books and papers that are in PDF as well. Why did we pick a binary blob as shareable format again?
>Any attempt to ban firearms in the United States would result in more death and injury than the problems it is intended to solve.

This is a very generous assumption. I instead assume that the problem that it intends to solve is "how does a government crank down hard on its citizens so that they become some sort of Stalinesque serfs who have no power and those which survive mindlessly obey"... in that scenario, gun prohibition isn't just a good idea but probably a necessary precondition.

For obvious reasons, even if gun control advocates are privy to that reasoning, public relations demands that they not say that part out loud.
