> I browse logged out. Interact when them I do not.

The logged out experience is closer to the interests of the average person. So if you're not pruning (and savings) your interests, that's hardly surprising.

Because it's an acclaimed, often cited course by a preeminent AI Researcher (and founding member of OAI) rather than four undocumented python files.

I think I must have just spent more time (5 mins) looking at this repo trying to understand why you posted it, than you spent actually coding this.

I don't want to put you off, but there's no substance at all here, I'd have assumed Claude wrote it based on the fact you've vendored in rules, but the code is so questionable, even an LLM from 2022 would do better. E.g. 'flattenData' from utils could just be [1] rather than a BFS, though I don't really get why your public API allows TensorData to be a single integer in the first place, 50% of your logic is to work around that.

But rant over. My point is, maybe post this when you've built even 5% of PyTorch, or learnt something of value, or have something tangible to impart upon us, rather than a library of ill-thought-out array utils.

1: flattenData = (x: TensorData) => Array.isArray(x) ? x.flat(Infinity) : [x]

+1 to a Kobo, they cheaper and better than Kindles, with full Calibre support (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre - OSS which has been in development for ~20 years!).

The way you install additional software is literally just moving files into folders whilst its plugged into your computer. I'm sure it could handle Tailscale.

I've been PSAs before on the front page with a reminder to check your flagged stories. I and others visited the link and were surprised to see how many stories I had fat-finger flagged. In fact I had never intentionally flagged a story yet the list was at least 10-15 long

This is a punny code, and I'm fine - if not happy - that HN doesn't choose to render their underlying unicode symbols. It's very easy to spoof URLs this way, e.g. using a symbol from another language to craft a look-alike URL that can match a reputable site.

Browsers like now Chrome try and alert you if the URL visually looks spoofed (because they do support unicode symbols in the omnibox), but I'm yet to see how well this holds up in production.

And I hope in even 20 years we still can't use emojis here, our language isn't so pitiful that we must regress to brightly coloured symbols.

Any Googler can write code and open source it on the Google GitHub (within reason, the process is quite straightforward). So no, Google as an entity does not official endorse it, all it means is at least one employee is working on that particular effort.

Easier for humans to parse, but introduces the threat vector of malicious attackers modifying the history and force submitting malicious code at or before a pinned time. That's why lock files exist.

SHA is still the way to go for those who are security sensitive.

What a statement. Mozilla going bankrupt would be disastrous, I don't think you appreciate how much effort goes into maintaining and evolving browsers, there are very few entities well funded enough with the expertise to maintain a fork, and that's without making assertions on their altruism. Mozilla's is in the right place, even if far too often they miss the mark.

> Google has systematically shittified the internet with Chrome by pushing bunk standards that other browsers are forced to adopt. Out of interest, what standards?

Right now there's no active public backends, there are a few prolific JJ contributors who are working on their own forge though (https://ersc.io).

At Google, JJ is natively supported for interfacing with the monorepo, this is where the proof of being backend agnostic comes from. Hopefully as the network effects catches on we'll see more and more of a desire for 3P forges.

New comment by tfsh in "Wikipedia as a Graph"

tfsh — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 18:28:32 +0000

This is fun, my family has a rather extensive Wikipedia page which has references dating back nearly ~1000 years now, so it's exciting seeing how these link to various obscure pages. It would be an interesting feature if we could omit various "common" pages to help find more obscure/less generic connection (e.g. broad supersets like countries).

Jane Street is a technology company first and foremost whose main product is high frequency training, which is similar to mang of these neo-hedge funds (e.g. HRT, Citadel). Which is contrasted to the more established asset managers (e.g. BlackRock, Vanguard, BRK, etc) which I can say from experience are corps tied down in bureaucracy.

tfsh — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 17:03:04 +0000

This looks really cool, I'd like to give it a go. The idea of taking a screenshot of the terminal and then parsing that to determine the true colour support is definitely novel, though perhaps so, because for me I can't get it to work. Are there any debug flags I can enable?

So far it was able to take the screenshot correctly (https://ibin.co/8kaRr8TIanv2.png), however the parsing of that fails with the non-descript "Palette parsing failed." error.

It's not. You might be joking, but that comment still isn't helpful.

My understanding is this is part of Google's internal PSD offering (Public Status Board) which uses SCS (Static Content Service) behind GFE (Google Frontend) which is hosted on Borg, and deploys other large scale apps such as Search, Drive, YouTube, etc.
