> A valid question to ask is: if a user clicks a creator affiliate link AND has a cash back tool like Honey or Rakuten should they or should they not be eligible for cash back. Personally I think absolutely yes, the user's preference is the most important. But I've heard reasonable people argue the opposite.

I'm not very familiar with Honey, it's business model, or the ins and outs of the affiliate program back stage. My impression here is strictly as an observer with no foot in the race.

Should they be eligible for cash back? Sure, if you want to give them cash. I don't see why that entitles Honey a link in the affiliate program chain, though. The cash back offer seems entirely independent from the user's choice to at least get to the point of purchase, with maybe an occassional situation where they would have pulled out if not for a cash back or coupon deal.

It's a benefit you're affording the user, but it's on you to find a way to monetize that without impacting the actual affiliate. If you have a deal with the merchant so that doesn't affect the actual affiliate, great. If you charge your users a monthly fee or something, wonderful. But if you're deciding that you deserve a share of an existing pot, you're in the wrong, and there's no two ways about that. A flawed business model doesn't entitle you to other people's shares.

Again, I'm not familiar with the way the system works at all, and haven't seen Laing's video, so I might be missing context. But from your quote on Reddit:

> On most stores Honey (and others) offer a portion of the commission back to users as cash back.

My understanding is that Honey inserts itself into the affiliate chain, takes Y% of the commission (and reducing the original affiliate's commission by the same amount? Clarification needed), then returns X% back to the user, and keeps Y% minus X% for itself. So what exactly is Honey doing here? Taking a part of the pot because it's giving some portion of the pot back to the user, while otherwise offering nothing of value to either the affiliate or the merchant? Why shouldn't the original affiliate simply be given the ability to offer the user cash back and remove Honey as the middleman? Why should the original affiliate have any loss in their own commission because of a 3rd party's actions?

If Honey's %Y commission is part of a deal you have with the retailer and doesn't affect the original affiliate's commission at all, I apologize, and understand the situation. But if there's any cost to the original affiliate here whatsoever, I don't think you have any justification for imposing that cost on them.
Just as another data point, I think the word 'deliberate' is entirely appropriate as it differentiates between 'casual' practice (e.g. just playing through a bunch of songs and hoping you get better) vs deliberate practice where you are working on a specific exercise with a specific goal. I can't really relate to what the parent post is saying.
What’s crazy to me about all of this is that the College Board will happily sell you the contact info for the 2mn students who take the SAT each year.

We’d probably not know about this if Javice just spent 10 minutes thinking, created a small scholarship, bought student contact info to “market” the scholarship, and then used that real data to commit fraud.

Maybe some recipients notice and report something to JPMorgan, but how many 18 year olds are actively reporting spam?

What mechanism can the regulators use to prevent potential dumpers from entering a market? Setting price controls on the entire economy? What if the market is currently beholden to a decentralized monopoly with artificially high prices? [see taxis and the arguments people made for Uber’s existence despite it being an obvious dumping operation]

The more proactive approach requires an omniscient regulator that you hope preserves competition but really can only guarantee current prices and incumbent profits.
NoScript resolved this issue for me.
First of all, thanks for your response.

> This rarely helps. Most of the nice-to-exploit bugs were in older codes, which weren't using STL containers.

While I agree with this, is not modifying those code to use STL containers much cheaper than rewriting into an entirely new language?

> Shadow stack is meh.

Are you referring to the idea of shadow stacks in general or a particular implementation of them?

> For example, for browser renderer without sandbox / site-isolation etc

I may be wrong, but I think you are referring to JIT bugs leading to arbitrary script execution in JS engines. I don't think memory safety can do anything about it because those bugs happen in the binding layer between the C++ code and JS scripts. Binding code would have to use unsafe code anyway. (In general, script injection has nothing to do with memory safety, see Log4j)

> Uh, I'd guess, half or more of that.

I mean, if you are after RCEs, don't CFI and shadow stacks halt the program instead of letting the CPU jumping to the injected code?

Now, let me get more specific - can you name one widespread C++ exploit that:

* would have happened even if the above mentioned mitigations were employed.

* would not have happened in a memory safe language?

> Tom Waits won a case where a commercial imitated his style.

Not under US copyright law, AFAICT. He's won cases where he sued over things like false endorsement - i.e. claiming that listeners would believe it was actually him, not just that the style was similar.

(Apparently he did win a similar case in Spain under their copyright law, but from skimming articles it sounds like the issue there also was impersonation, not just stylistic similarity.)
No one who is one ever claims to be one, and vice versa. Easy to miss the existence of anything else, maybe, when the streetlamps insist so loudly on being looked exclusively under.

2) Provide a way to restart current level
3) Explain the scoring more fully

Its worth calling out that abstractions can kill you in unexpected ways with go.

Anytime you use an interface it forces a heap allocation, even if the object is only used read only and within the same scope. That includes calls to things like fmt.Printf() so doing a for loop that prints the value of i forces the integer backing i to be heap allocated, along with every other value that you printed. So if you helpfully make every api in your library use an interface you are forcing the callers to use heap allocations for every single operation.

Pacman has always been kind to me. Portage, on the other hand, crippled my beloved X60 after a full system upgrade even though I was only a few weeks behind. I don't recall the precise issue but if memory serves it was some sort of circular version dependency that I was unable to resolve. I was a 19-year-old l00nix nublet so I'm sure it was my fault but I've never had so much trouble with a distro package manager as I did with Gentoo's.
Cool! I guess there needs to be a way for people to share new lessons to practise, it gets complicated with copyright pretty fast.

For real "lessons" you'd probably need to start at chord progressions, go into scales and how the chords relate back to those, then move to these types of soloing technique lessons.

AlphaTab is the star here https://github.com/CoderLine/alphaTab - it's been maintained tirelessly for years by Daniel Kuschny.

I've started to build this type of lessons sitea few times in the past and never really got it together enough to release anything. I've done scale/chord/arpeggio tools: https://github.com/webprofusion/scalex
No we don't. It seems you were only pretending to inquire as a cover for pushing a particular (false) idea.
A more general application of this is why we have LLM tool use. I don’t have the LLM figure out how to integrate with my blog, I write an MCP and expose it to the LLM as a tool. Likewise, when I want to interpret free text I don’t push all the state into the LLM and ask it to do so. I just interpret it into bits and use those.

It’s just a tool that does well with language. You have to be smart about using it for that. And most people are. That’s why tools, MCPs, etc. are so big nowadays.
For their socio-economic status? Surely.

I really wanted to like Rocksmith, but the progressive difficulty didn’t feel quite right. I would get stuck on new chords, try the recommended arcade games, get stuck on those even harder and less satisfying tasks, then lose motivation. By the time I picked it back up it didn’t respond to the fact that my skills had regressed and I had to start a new profile. I spent more time noodling in the tone modeler than anything.

Using faster, easier or cheaper production workflows aren't significantly correlated with end product quality, other than perhaps in the obvious sense that investing a large amount of money/effort into a production might cause the investing party to take more care to ensure ROI. However, there are so many counter examples of very expensive, high-effort productions lacking artistic merit that the correlation is weak at best.

Why do you think top upvoted posts have to be a 1:1 correlation of value? If you look at the most watched videos on youtube, the most popular movies, or sorted by top of all time on subreddits, the only correlation is that people liked them the most.

The post has a catchy title and a (in my opinion) clear message about using models as API callers and fuzzy interfaces in production instead of as complex program simulators. It's not about using models to write code.

Social media upvotes are less frustrating imo if you see it as a measurement of attention, not a funneling of value. Yes people like things that give them value but they also like reading things with a good title.

I unironically use llm for tax advice. It has to be directionally workable and 90% is usually good enough. Beats reddit and the first page of Google, which was the prior method.
No it really is like that. "Frontend" aka jam everything into an all-consuming React/Vue mega project really isn't the most fun. It's very powerful, sometimes necessary (<50% of the times it's chosen), and the tooling is constantly evolving. But it's not a fun experience when it comes to maintaining and growing a large JS codebase... which is why they usually get reinvented every 3yrs. Generally an opposite experience with server side which stays stable for a decade+ without touching it and having a much closer relationship to the database makes better code IMO, less layers/duplication.

Frontend is very fun when you're starting a new project though.
That is a problem, yet the law must still be enforced. There is no perfect solution but that isn't an argument for lawlessness, especially for powerful political leaders.

Most importantly, whatever the prosecutor does they cannot convict someone. That must be done by a court, an independent agency (in the US).
And right on que we have someone who the administration admits they wrongly sent, but also say the courts don't have the authority to bring him back:

Are you describing coding html via LLM or actually using the llm as a rendering engine for ui
Yes, I am using an older rocksdb version 6.29.5 that was released in 2022. The main reason for this choice is that many embedded products still rely on C++11 for application development.Additionally, it offers backward compatibility, making it a practical and stable choice for such applications.
Great insights, this is very helpful.
That doesn't seem like a #2 scenario, unless you're okay with your centered divs not being centered some of the time.
No system or person is perfect; no god will come down and save us; we need to find solutions using human institutions. What also is ripe for abuse is a system where politicians have impunity for corruption. At least being arrested, prosecuted, and convicted requires several agencies and branches of government and a public trial that follows laws.

Democracy has done very well in that regard. The US is an exception, in many ways, in that it generally won't prosecute current heads of state. Netanyahu is being prosecuted and investigated for another crime, even after abusing power to avoid it. France has charged sitting high officials, so have others.
Absolutely any kind of classifier.

>The LLM shouldn’t be implementing any logic.

There's separate machine Intelligence technique for that namely logic, optimization and constraint programming [1],[2].

I once built a proxy that translated protocol A to protocol B in Go. In many cases, protocol A and B were just wrappers around long UTF-8 or raw bytes content. For large messages, reading the content into a slice then writing that same slice into the outgoing socket (preceded and followed by slices containing the translated bits from A to B) made a significant improvement in performance vs. copying everything over into a new buffer.

Go's network interfaces and slices makes this kind of thing particularly simple - I had to do the same thing in Java and it was a lot more awkward.
You're misunderstanding what is happening.
Harvard is a private institution that takes funding from the federal government.
The federal government is reviewing the funding under allegations of anti-Semitism:
-In November 2023, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened a Title VI investigation into allegations of antisemitism on the campus.
-In January 2024, six students sued the University, alleging that Harvard had become a “bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment.” This was followed by a February 2024 alumni-led lawsuit that claimed Harvard’s “unrestrained” campus antisemitism has caused the university reputational damage.
-In July 2024, the Department of Education ended its investigation into allegations of antisemitic harassment at Harvard as a lawsuit filed in federal court contained the same allegations.
-In January 2025, Harvard settled two antisemitism lawsuits by agreeing to provide additional protections for Jewish students, including by adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

It's not naive. I agree the world isn't perfect, but we have to operate with imperfect human systems - that's life. More imperfect is politicians with impunity for corruption - at least when they arrest someone, there is rule of law, it requires a trial (even a jury, if the defendant desires), etc.

You are reaching far beyond France to South Africa's minority dictatorship and Nazi Germany for examples. The latter is a great example of political leaders with impunity.

Can you provide any examples at all in modern democracies, at any level of government?
Well, what do the end users care. So long as they get there honey $$. Yes, sucks for the real referer, and youtube creators doing the promoting (though they probably got paid more directly from Honey to do the ad then they would've gotten from there affil links).

Though, like what was exposed, Honey does a poor job for the end user too. There are other cashback sites out there doing what Honey claims/does, but passes on more to the end user. Though they're all taking the referral $$ from the real referer, if there was one.
The student in question participated in a protest in support of Palestinians, not Hamas. There is no evidence presented they provided material support to Hamas, and there is no evidence they provided verbal support of Hamas.

So yes, it's controversial that a student, participating in a student protest, protesting a war, was deported without due process.

And this is before we mention the government has admitted, in court document, that they illegally deported a visa holder to El Salvador, and "oops" since he's already in a prison overseas there's nothing our court system can do about it.

So yes, controversies abound with the way this administration is "enforcing" immigration law.
The most terrifying part of the administration's theory is that the president should have unilateral and unchecked authority over who is allowed to be in the country.

I will counter this by saying that my time spent with screens before 6 was unimaginably critical for me.

If I hadn't had it, I would have been trapped by the racist, religously zealous, backwoods mentality that gripped the rest of my family and the majority of the people I grew up with. I discovered video games at age 3 and it changed EVERYTHING. It completely opened my mind to abstract thought and, among other things, influenced me to teach myself to read at age 3. I was reading at a collegiate level by age five and discovered another passion, books. Again, propelled me out of an extremely anti-intellectual upbringing.

I simply could not imagine where I would be without video games, visual arts or books. Screens are not the problem. Absent parenting is the problem. Not teaching children the power of these screens is the problem.
I'm sorry this happens. You can cope by having a few "evangelist" users you communicate with to balance the negativity. There's a bias for comment on code that's not perfect. When everything's perfect, no one has anything to say. Open source bring with it an open quorum.

We deploy on K8s in OpenStack from a scheduled GitHub Actions pipeline which aggregates DAGs into a new container build based on hashes of hashes. This works well with almost no intervention.

WRT your 1, above any DAG output to stdout/err is available via the logs tab from the graph view of the individual tasks. Almost all our DAGs leverage on the PythonOperator though, not sure if that standardises this for us and your experience is muddied by more complexity than we currently have?

WRT 2. we generate an uber requirements.txt running pyreqs from the pipeline and install everything in the container automatically. Again no issues currently - although we do need to manually add the installation of test libraries to the pipeline job as for some reason auto-discovery is flakier for unit-tests frameworks.
