IMO dagger isn't really comparable to nix.

We tried to fit dagger where we had jenkins - not just for binary builds, but for the other stuff. Mounting secrets for git clones / NPM installs, integration tests, terraform execution, build notifications and logging.

Caching is great, and dagger/nix both have interesting options here, but that's more of a bonus and not the core value prop of a build orchestrator.
you also can't eat more than so much meat anyway and it spoils at some point (especially in a society without electricity/refrigeration).
Apparently providing this messy rough categorization appeared to help in some cases. From the article:

> To force CheXzero to avoid shortcuts and therefore try to mitigate this bias, the team repeated the experiment but deliberately gave the race, sex, or age of patients to the model together with the images. The model’s rate of “missed” diagnoses decreased by half—but only for some conditions.

In the end though I think you're right and we're just at the phases of hand-coding attributes. The bitter lesson always prevails

This definitely helps for me, but it's hard to place the lights without glare, since they can't be anywhere that's ever directly in your vision! I'm also a little worried it's going to burn the houseplant near it.

But it was a big change; my Silicon Valley apartment has little overhead lighting, and I mostly use Hue lights which just don't get very bright, so it turned out I'd accidentally built a depression cave in the winter.
Show HN: Dish: A lightweight HTTP and TCP socket monitoring tool written in Go
dish is a lightweight, 0 dependency monitoring tool in the form of a small binary executable. Upon execution, it checks the provided sockets (which can be provided in a JSON file or served by a remote JSON API endpoint). The results of the check are then reported to the configured channels.

It started as a learning project and ended up proving quite handy. Me and my friend have been using it to monitor our services for the last 3 years.

We have refactored the codebase to be a bit more presentable recently and thought we'd share on here!

The currently supported channels include:

- Telegram

- Pushgateway for Prometheus

- Webhooks

- Custom API endpoint

Even if there were no reliable studies, the precautionary principle would suggest to limit food that is highly processed and somehow of a novel form, very different from what was consumed in the past.

Anticipating a critical misreading, this does not mean that everything that was consumed in the past is automatically good.
"I'm not sure why this is mentioned, it's hardly a drain on other retailers to have a second click in their process."

Much research shows that many people will leave one site for another for the tiniest delay or inconvenience. They've long competed on this. Why do you think Amazon patented saving a click or two in the first place?

Also, patents like this force most sites to be inconvenient for customers to avoid getting sued. Increasing patents like this increases odds that a site owner is sued for their optimizations. Also, patents don't allow for independent creation like copyright does. Every patent takes that method away from everyone else for 20 years even when they independently invented it.

I dont like patents at all. Even if we have a system, we shouldn't allow patents for software because they're only a hindrance to most software developers. We virtually never use or benefit from them. People who such money from developers using patents rarely contributed anything of value. Usually just filed a piece of paper.

Shipping containers are a huge red flag that a project is a gimmick.

People have this mistaken idea that there are a ton of shipping containers that need to be recycled (there was a brief period in the mid aughts where this may have been true). But a used shipping container is neither cheap nor a great material to build a home from.
Good work. I’m embarrassed to say this whole time I’ve been writing all my opinions for free.
That seems pretty acceptable: there is a phase of new technologies where applications can be churned out and improved readily enough, without much understanding of the process. Then it's fair that efforts at understanding may not be economically justified (or even justified by academic papers rewards). The same budget or effort can simply be poured into the next version - with enough progress to show for it.

Understanding becomes necessary only much later, when the pace of progress shows signs of slowing.
Elephants plan journeys: New study reveals energy-saving strategies
> I'd expected it to be slightly above Go.

Why's that?

Go was designed explicitly to serve the particular needs of a particular area of software development that allegedly sees more than average development activity. In fact, its designers have expressed some surprise that people found it useful in other areas of programming. Rust, on the other hand, tries to be much more general purpose. Being a jack of all trades master of none, so to speak, is a great technical quality, but without particular focus it is much harder to get the numbers up.

It is quite similar to why Javascript blows all of the other languages out of the water. It would be surprising if Rust had more usage like it would be surprising if C had more usage than Javascript.
Examining Liquidity and Market Trends: A Reverse Repo and S&P 500 Analysis
I examined the correlation between the Federal Reserve's Reverse Repo Operations which held as much as $2,300,000,000,000 in cash overnight for a small handful of institutions and, on the other hand, the S&P 500 index.

Correlation does not mean causation. Nonetheless, we can't rule out that the handful institutions put $2,300,000,000,000 in cash into the Reverse Repo Operations before slowly placing it in the S&P 500, except for when the bond and treasury markets gave favorable interest rates.

I believe that the two entities likely had a coincidence that either strongly moved together or in opposite direction for months at a time and these charts likely are meaningless. I would love to get some feedback and recommendations how to improve this analysis.

Oh yeah, I definitely agree that it's an undesirable housing option, and that it shouldn't be a priority to grow it into the future.

The problem is that in cities that have regulated apartments out of existence it's the only existing place for renters to live, so we should be mindful of things that will squeeze its availability before enough apartments can be built to take up the demand.

Babylon.js 8.0
I've met plenty of wealthy people that have the mindset "luxury = frivolous" -- while that may be true to some extent, for i.e. a brand name T-shirt very few people I meet regardless of income bracket understand much of anything about the built/manufactured world.

In most realms, thoughtfully paying more for something yields an economic win over the lifetime (i.e. in this case energy efficiency).

Also somewhat ironically most people (even frugal) have some intuitive appreciation of quality -- if you place fitting architectural windows and doors on a structure your guests will appreciate it at some level, even if they don't understand why -- but expending the mental effort to design in such things is beyond most people for whatever reason even if they can afford it.

Whether it translates into value capture depends on the demographic of buyer, there is a large uncanny valley of builders that will do the lipstick-on-a-pig thing for a flip or even highly priced spec homes but at some point architects prevail and the structure is well designed at the price point.
Couldn't agree more. I see this a lot here in Norway too. So much talk of "ultra-processed" food and its dangers, and recommendations to avoid it but the category is so wide as to include even things like baked beans, because they may have some salt, sugar and modified starch added; or peanut butter because it may have some sugar added to help it stay emulsified and some saturated fat added to make it less runny.

Does that processing suddenly turn the beans from one of the healthiest foods we know of to an unhealthy one? Probably not. Does it make them easier to use in cooking vs dried beans, leading more people to eat beans? Probably yes.

Same thing for the peanut butter. As part of my breakfast, I often have a slice or two of brown, whole grain bread with peanutbutter(the non-disgusting kind with additives mentioned above, about 89% peanuts) and banana. That's a meal rich in protein, various kinds of fiber, polyunsaturated fats, slow carbs, various vitamins and minerals. The fact that the PB has a little sugar and sat fat in it doesn't really matter very much. I've tried PB That's 99% peanuts and frankly it's disgusting. It separates, it's runny and it has an off taste too. If that was the only PB on the market I wouldn't even use it.

The problem is 1. That government recommendations and public discourse place far, far too much emphasis on population studies based on overly vague categories like this and 2. That there's an almost singular focus on things people should avoid rather than things people need more of, especially fibre and protein. Fibre is crucially important, and maybe this is a hot take, but I think lack of fibre is maybe the most important factor when it comes to public health and food.

Fibre increases satiety and bulk, leading you to eat less calories, lowers glycemic index avoiding insulin resistance and diabetes, improves intestinal function(via interaction with gut biome) and therefore micronutrient uptake, and it(specifically beta-glucans found in oats and other grains) even lowers LDL cholesterol. Not to mention it prevents hemorrhoids, which might not affect longevity, but it's certainly nice. And indeed, no surprise, a lot of "ultra-processed" food happens to be devoid of fibre.

I think "fibre-depleted" and "protein-depleted" would be more useful categories to use than the much more vague "ultra-processed".

The initial security design failure was inventing lossless WebP, which is a completely different format from lossy WebP, which means the library has double the code for double the attack surface.

That does require the initial premise that the underlying product is actually a solution, which isn’t necessarily true. Marketing’s just a tool that can be applied.

If one was marketing something like a scam or even just something useless, for instance, I’d say it’s still marketing even though there’s no solution present.

Of course, under that same reasoning, “manipulation of people for gain” also isn’t necessarily accurate.

The other, other scandal is that they collapsed a building on many innocent people in the process. This action comes at a high price both morally and in terms of ensuring the legitimacy of the enemy among the civilian population.

This is most definitely true but he, and Apple, have always been very polarizing. I don't think either one has become more polarizing? And if so, certainly not in some extremely sudden way that would explain DF's popularity on HN falling off of a cliff.

> So far the AI use cases that have succeeded are those where that accuracy requirement is not stringent. Image generation and coding assistants, e.g. Cursor, Copilot, and similar, are the only ones that come readily to mind.

Or where accuracy does matter and ML-based tools are the most accurate of the available options. Material/product defect detection, weather forecasting/early warning systems, OCR, spam filtering, protein folding, medical segmentation, interaction prediction, etc.

> The other side of that coin are the use cases where inaccuracies are not easily tolerated. Legal documents, transcripts, translations, summaries, reporting the news, medical diagnosis, and such. In fact some of the most memorable flops have happened in those domains.

Translation (like Google Translate) and transcription (like Whisper) are huge and successful uses of transformers. Albeit, not necessarily because they're more accurate than a human (though they sometimes are) but because there's generally some point, varying by scenario, at which their increased speed/cost/accessibility outweighs disparity in accuracy.

> I don't believe that most people have any real need for something that isn't 100% accurate. I can just ask a buddy if I merely wish for an opinion ;)

Is a 99% accurate weather forecast, one which is better than available alternates, useless? Is anything 100% accurate?

What I’d want is to be able to run top level commands differently from other commands and being able to have git and gh be a wrapper that injects the permissions. They could also filter the arguments and environment variables, which I know is hard to get right. Subshells and other programs would be able to run git and gh, but not with the permissions.

I could even run git and gh in a container that has a volume to be able to access the directory.

I think I have an idea of what this could look like and I might try and prototype it with fish and see what code parts it goes down to gauge how secure it’s likely to be.
