There's SIGNIFICANT selection bias at play in such a setting.

(not that you're not correct in that the more equal animals never face the same consequences less equal ones do).
They are all focused on making sure it is not “woke”.
It's the sort of mistake that it's hard to imagine a human making, is the thing. Many humans might have trouble compounding at all, but the 20 year/8 year confusion just wouldn't happen. And I think it is on the simple side of tax questions (in particular all the _rules_ involved are simple, well-defined, and involve no ambiguity or opinion; you certainly can't say that of all tax rules). Tax gets _complicated_.
I'm sick of em dashes cause somehow that's become the tell its AI generated text.
Aside from David Chisnall, most of them are not entirely right in the head. Best to just read his comments and move along.
If that were true companies wouldn't get fined over and over again year after year.
Not at all. It's just inconvenient for most of the Windows-using world, as the characters are not accessible. It's ALT+[whatever] or Google-it-and-ctrl+V. Hence an awful lot of internet writing didn't really use any of that stuff properly.

See, e.g., Boss Szabo's blog: https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-many-tradition...

Two chained hypens, as was pretty much the norm back then.

And did you just call me an NPC?!? It's not a matter of "understanding the language" at all. It's a matter of convenience and of a sort of evolved convention.
Those are the left and right borders of the US Empire. But we want those people to spend on their own defense too.
100GB doesn't sound that out of reach. It's expensive in a laptop, but in a desktop that's about $300 of RAM and our supported by many consumer mainboards. Hetzner will rent me a dedicated server with that amount of ram for $61/month.

If the payloads in question are in that range, the time spent to support streaming doesn't feel justified compared to just using a machine with more memory. Maybe reducing the size of the parsed representation would be worth it though, since that benefits nearly every use case
> "Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it," the movement's website stated, urging supporters to take action to stop "Musk's illegal coup."

To be fair, the whole group at the head of the US administration is destroying democracy, not just Musk. That's not an excuse for him, but I think people shouldn't forget the rest of the band.
Any packages with "Essential: yes" (run 'apt list ~E' to see them) are required on any Debian system. Additionally, the 'build-essential' pulls in other packages that must be present to build Debian packages via its dependencies: https://packages.debian.org/sid/build-essential
It's not really the style anymore (and they were wildly expensive), but some of the best jeans I've had were True Religions. I could go to the store, try on a ton of pairs, and then get the length tailored. I used to power lift, and at the time, finding jeans that had 32" waist while still being bigger in the butt/thighs was a huge challenge. Only TR seemed to have them.

The Hole Story: How Woodpeckers Make Homes for the Rest of the Forest
As I like to say, if the construction world could tweak a $CEILING_HEIGHT parameter and hit the big "REBUILD HOTEL" button, and the entire hotel would systematically tear itself down and rebuild itself from scratch in about 5 minutes for a net cost of $5, and then run a large set of automated checks for code compliance, making sure the doors don't conflict with each other, etc. in the next five minutes, and spit out a report of all the results, you'd expect them to operate differently. VERY differently.

Coding is 100% an engineering endeavor. And just like any other one, a particular project may not be following engineering best practices and that project may be producing some dangerous garbage as a result, but I'm actually fairly satisfied with my engineering practices, as engineering practices, what with my automated testing, automated acceptance criteria, automated security checking, automated style checking, integrated peer-review practices, performance testing practices, engineering for redundancy and resiliance. If $YOU're thinking the coding world is awfully cowboy maybe that's a sign that $YOU need to up your game with the already-existing and well-documented best practices in our industry. To be honest most other "real engineers" would be green with envy at what we have available to us!
You factor N! into N factors, and look at the smallest of those factors. t(N) is the largest that the smallest factor can be. Here are the best factorizations going slightly beyond the part of https://oeis.org/A034258 that was quoted by Terry Tao.

1! = 1
2! = 1 * 2
3! = 1 * 2 * 3
4! = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3
5! = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5
6! = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 4 * 5
7! = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 7
8! = 2 * 3 * 3 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 5 * 7
9! = 3 * 3 * 3 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7

It's engineered austerity. Like the shift from a middle class household needing one income to needing two. It's another step in the raiding of the lower and middle classes.
This statement

> India has a vast variation of cultures.

isn’t consistent with this.

It's not like nobody's ever looked into fraud and error rates in social programs.

It's consistently pretty damn low, and when problems have been found, they've usually been addressed.

People think these are full of fraud for the same reason they think foreign aid is some insane double-digit percentage of the budget: because Republicans shove messaging at them through dedicated propaganda outlets literally 24/7 complaining about these things, and have done this for decades, and folks don't bother to check.
Given that Atlanta Fed GDPNow predicts the first down quarter is Q1 2025, there's a pretty good chance we’re in a recession now.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

My advice for just starting out is to not worry too much about following all the right practices. The more important thing is to try the process start to finish of picking a topic, writing a draft, editing it, publishing it, and finding places to share it. I'd start with something narrowly scoped that you can explain in 2,000 words or less.

I suspect that just experiencing the process end-to-end will give you a better sense of what areas you struggle with, and it will help you prioritize what writing advice to seek out.
The vileness of hoping people suffer aside, anyone who doesn’t have adequate testing in place is going to fail regardless of whether bad code is written by LLMs or Real True Super Developers.
This is exactly the kind of content marketing I want to see. The IO bottleneck data and the fio scripts are useful to all. Then at the end a link to their product which I’d never heard of, in case you’re dealing with the issue at hand.
Exactly, yeah. And once you look over the Ansible, it's a good place to start and expand. I'll often have it emit hemlcharts for me as templates, then after the tedious setup of the helm chart is done, the rest of it is me manually doing the complex parts, and customizing in depth.
XML is still a huge mistake for most stuff. It's fine for _documents_ but not as a data storage solution. Bloat, ambiguities, virtually impossible to canonicalise.

XPath is cute, but if you don't mind bloat, text-only and lack of ergonomics, anyways then Conjunctive Regular Path Queries and RDF are miles ahead of XML as a data storage solution. (Not serialised as XML please xD)

Does “it” apply to Homo sapiens as well?
True and irrelevant. Type annotations catch whole swathes of errors before they cause trouble and they nudge me into writing clearer code. I know they’re not watertight. Sometimes the type checker just can’t deal with a type and I have to use Any or a cast. Still better than not using them.
Not op, but operating the same way.

The competition might be cheaper than the manufacturer.
Working with large YAML documents is incredibly annoying and shows the benefit of closing tags.
"Black people are abusive, violent thugs, within a subculture of violent thuggery, in cities which lack..."

Maybe a bit better, but you're still overgeneralizing in order to demonize an entire group of people.

If you want to talk about systemic issues in our policing system, then talk about those issues. Calling people groups derogatory names isn't constructive.
I think it might be the css animation that moves the dots on the background.
In a dangerous and complex world, it’s not enough to be strong. You must also be smart. As secretary of state during the Obama administration, I argued for smart power, integrating the hard power of our military with the soft power of our diplomacy, development assistance, economic might and cultural influence. None of those tools can do the job alone. Together, they make America a superpower. The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump’s America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless.
Same here, especially for taller sizes they were great.

The block level has two advantages: (1) you can accelerate access to everything on the whole disk (like even OS packages) and (2) everything appears as one device to the OS, meaning that build tools that want to do things like hardlink files in global caches still work without any issue.
Sadly, artificially generated recession.

Ha, glad to know I'm not not alone doing that re: country of origin.

I only wear Oxfords and casual button down shirts, and found that I only ever like the ones made in Bangladesh because of fit and material. I could talk your ear off for 20 minutes about how clothes from X feel cheap, clothes from Y have nice materials but don't fit right, etc.

I just checked my closet, and every single shirt I regularly wear across three brands is made in Bangladesh!
Poor education at K-12 level. People from Bihar go outside but within India, to big cities like Delhi/Mumbai or farms of Punjab/Haryana.
I remember being blown away when that changed. "I can just use a USB port and not have to use the gamepad port?!"
Kerala is also the only state in India where the rural population lives longer (2-3y on average) than the urban population!!
This is a great comment marred by the “students disappearing” statement. An earned but short jail sentence or deportation is quite distinct from a one-way ticket to the gulag, unfortunately implied.
There's still UI stuff that hasn't changed since Windows 3.1 minus the UI kit updates.
JSON5 is a real sweet spot for me. Closing brackets, but I don't have to type every tag twice. Comments and trailing commas.
Heh, that very much matches my personal experience. So many younger adults in New York do seem to have this help. I've been amazed at how much people that I know aren't making a ton of money are able to travel, buy luxurious cars, rent upscale apartments, etc. It finally clicked for me one night at a NY comedy club when I got to talking to a group in this boat that were unusually honest about the situation. I don't begrudge them (after all life is a crapshoot and you can't help to whom you are born) but I do wish it was a little more common to be honest about it. I have friends that really feel like failures because they can't possibly "keep up" with some of their colleagues that do the same jobs.
I don't think the infrastructure should be there at all. No institution can be trusted with it. The scope WILL creep eventually.
MCP: What It Is and Why It Matters
Show HN: Hexi – Modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++
Over the last few years, I've needed an easy way to quickly serialise and deserialise various network protocols safely and efficiently. Most of the libraries that existed at the time were either quite heavy, had less than stellar performance, or were an abstraction level above what I was looking for.

I decided to put together my own class to do the job, starting with an easy, low-overhead way to move bytes in and out of arbitrary buffers. Along the way, it picked up useful bits and pieces, such as buffer structures and allocators that made the byte shuffling faster, often being able to do it with zero allocations and zero copies. Safety features came along to make sure that malicious packet data or mistakes in the code wouldn't result in segfaults or vulnerabilities.

It's become useful enough to me that I've packaged it up in its own standalone library on the chance that it might be useful to others. It has zero dependencies other than the standard library and has been designed for quick integration into any project within minutes, or seconds with a copy paste of the amalgamated header. It can be used in production code but it's also ideal for for those that want to quickly hack away at binary data with minimal fuss.
Is that all in one big document?
This exists, just use https://github.com/sigoden/aichat with local ollama and a model like qwen2.5-coder:7b or better (e.g. gemma3:12b).

Add this to ~/.bashrc :

# bind Alt-e on the command line to replace text with command
_aichat_bash() {
if [[ -n "$READLINE_LINE" ]]; then
READLINE_LINE=$(aichat -e "$READLINE_LINE")
READLINE_POINT=${#READLINE_LINE}
fi
}
bind -x '"\ee": _aichat_bash'

In the example you gave i get:

find . -type f -name "*.mp4" -exec ffmpeg -i {} -c:v libaom-av1 -crf 30 -b:v 0 -c:a copy ~/Videos/{}.mkv \;

But if you don't like that you can press Ctrl-Shift-_ (bash has emacs keybindings) to undo and try something else. You can also put a # mark in front and hit enter, then up arrow then Alt-e so you know what created the command.
The most interesting link is broken( does anyone knows how to find source for this link: https://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~sdg/igor-slides.pdf?
Or a scenario where an arbitrary cop deliberately leaks the information to a nominally private group (perhaps named like the "${Color}${Clothing}s") whose violent activities are ignored or pardoned by the law.
It's only a sample of one but I'm really unhappy with the issues and limitations that JSON and YAML have, and I welcome XML if it has good tools.
Not sure about Bihar, but talent / labor export isn't just a Kerala thing. Having a network does help - makes it easy to find a job, find people to live with that speak the same language, help in difficult times etc.
That won't be of much use if the government turns rogue and no longer honours that obligation, or the purpose of the collected data.

There's no recalling that data.

Naturally this being FOSS, I see from the README on github that you have a choice to self-host, so maybe that ought to be front and center on the home page? Actually the README has a ton of content that could be on the site
Jensen, We're with You. But We're Not There Yet
The dominant majority of Keralite youth that can, still emigrates to other states and countries. I have come across hundreds of Malayalis outside of Kerala who talk fondly of their homes, but refuse to admit there being any scope of nontrivial academic or professional growth within the state.

On the other hand.. yes, Kerala is very beautiful in many ways. I wish I was born there because it's nigh impossible to settle in permanently otherwise.

It is a really fun idea to build a boids router (shelving that for a future article!) I wrote previously about recursive pattern autorouters which are really good at having small solution spaces (and therefore, easier to get conventional machine learning algorithms to predict). There are so many interesting unexplored areas in autorouting!!

I hadn't heard of jumpflooding (for others: fast, parallel algorithm for approximating distance fields), that could definitely be interesting, thanks for the tip!
People like Zuckerberg go around claiming most of their code will be written by AI starting sometime this year. Other companies are hearing that and using it as a reason(or false cover) for layoffs. The reality is LLMs still have a way to go before replacing experienced devs and even when they start getting there there will be a period of time where we’re learning what we can and can’t trust them with and how to use them effectively and responsibly. Feels like at least a few years from now, but the marketing says it’s now.
Concrete foundations get stronger as the concrete cures (around a month).

Framing is much more resistant to collapse once you put sheathing on it, a roof, etc. Before that it is easier to fall over.

A half built wood frame wall only supported at one end is like a wet noodle if you don't put in some temporary braces.
No worries, they were "one of the good ones" .

I think it's up to browser implementations, but JSON and JavaScript stole much of XML's thunder in the browser anyway, plus HTML5's relaxed tags won out over XHTML 4's strictness (strictness was a benefit if you were actually working with the data). There are still plenty of web-available uses of XML, like RSS and RDF and podcasts/OPML, but people are more likely to call xmlhttp.responseXML and parse a new DOM than wrap their head around XSL templates.

The big place I've successfully used XSLT was in TEI, which nobody outside digital humanities uses. Even then, the XSLT processing is usually minimal, and Javascript is going to do a lot of work that XSL could have done.
Kagi Assistant is awesome. It uses their search for context. I got a free year of Perplexity and liked Kagi better.
For Windows users, PowerToys has a Quick Accent tool, that lets you type in an em dash or figure dash by holding down the hyphen (-) and then toggling the space bar. Interestingly, the en dash is not available.
It's not a CSS animation, it's canvas with p5. It probably renders every frame, even though the rendered result doesn't change if there hasn't been a click.
Ten years back remittance was 31% of the GDP [1] - a massive number. It might have declined, but the tiny state accounts for 20% of India's inward remittance while holding a mere 3% of the nation's population. Wikipedia says that 3 million people are working abroad (mostly in the middle East), which is like 10 percent of the population (what percentage of the youth will that be?). Also, a very significant number of Malayalees work in neighbouring states - again due to Kerala having no industries.

I don't have numbers for the last ten years, but if remittance has gone down, it is also neck deep in debt. I am in Kerala quite frequently, and can confirm that there are no industries there - except for tourism, and some IT which is relatively miniscule compared to neighbouring states.

You can see it on the interactive tool here:
https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-ice-tools/charctic-inter...

You can click on individual years, but the decade average plots are the most revealing. You can see the average has dropped significantly each decade, and the drop is actually larger in the warmer months (~35%) than in the colder months (~10%) for the year range 1980 to 2020.
That would do it. If Windows got rid of their basic document editor, and enough affected muggles got into desperate enough situations to discover Libreoffice, they will tip each other off through social networks quickly.

Strategies taking advantage of the ignorance of users (or voters) are faltering in the age of user-generated content. You can't sell an operating system without a document editor without running the risk of people finding the free one that is nearly as good (or in the case of Wordpad, is far better.)

MS won't like what happens in offices 10 years from now if they let students use Libreoffice for their schoolwork instead of Wordpad (eventually replaced with Word.) They'd better be working hard to get "student" copies of Office into kids' hands, even if they have to pay them to take it.
I just migrated multiple ARM64 GitHub action Docker builds from my self hosted runner (Raspberry Pi in my homeland) to Blacksmith.io and I’m really impressed with the performance so far. Only downside is no Docker layer and image cache like I had on my self hosted runner, but can’t complain on the free tier.
> Is it expensive? The question is: compared to what?

I mean, compared to pipelines, as mentioned in my comment. AFAIK, we (Spain) get most of our gas from North Africa (Algeria I guess?), so there are more pipelines into Europe, not just from Russia.

So I guess I more wanted to know how the costs compared between shipping this cryogenically frozen gas and importing natural gas from say Africa.
It's funny, I never noticed mine in the area until I read the deflock.me site. (Maybe it was posted here on HN?)

LLM Limitations: Why Can't You Query Your Enterprise Knowledge with Just an LLM?
One of the big problems I have with cursor is that it ignores the rules frequently. For example, working in the front-end it will sometimes totally ignore all the components that I have explicitly told it to use. Would this... fix that?
You haven’t felt hate until you’ve counted spaces in your Helm templates in order to know what value to put after `nindent`. The punchline is that k8s doesn’t even speak yaml, the protocol is all json and it’s the tooling that inflicts yaml on us.
I can live with yaml as a config format, but once logic starts creeping in, give me anything else.
Acknowledging this is a pre-print, but it is _wild_ that we can do this kind of analysis on a species that went extinct nearly a third of a billion years before the first hominids emerged. Every now and again I'm reminded of just how far we've extended our sensorium as a species.
