For a state level attack, that wouldn't even help. They'd just use state level forged documents.


If your not Dijkstra then using title like that negatively affects people's perception of your post.


“Considered Harmful” considered harmful? :)


“Considered Harmful” Essays Considered Harmful, Eric A. Meyer, 28 December 2002:

I usually assume it's going to be a controversial take, but controversy shouldn't be inherently negative to anyone. Plenty of the best things we have today caused and were propelled by controversy.


The title was Wirth's fault.


I don't use Kagi, but this post reads much more like a PR smear campaign than anything else.


Absolutely. Over the years countless projects have missed contributions from me because of a bad README.


> an athletic commission is responsible for refereeing

This sounds a bit like a distancing attempt.

Surely those referees follow the rules of UFC. So ultimately UFC is responsible no matter which entity enforces the rules.


No, UFC follows the rules of the relevant athletic commission and they only use referees (and judges, and timekeepers, etc.) licensed in that jurisdiction. UFC famously moved a fight from NV to CA because NV wouldn't license Jon Jones to fight after a drug test: https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/25603991/ufc-232-moved-l...

"Unified rules of MMA" were developed at the state athletic commission level (NJ maybe?), but not everywhere implements them: https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/4/16/18358920/abc-survey-at....

The ending of one fight in TX had betting implications because of their odd rules. https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/6/21/23177038/texas-commiss...


>Surely those referees follow the rules of UFC.

I may be wrong, but I think it's the other way around. The commission sets the rules and hires the referees to enforce them. Dana White has be openly critical of certain referees and made it clear he'd fire them if he could. The UFC must follow the rules of the commission. I believe that's why some past fights could only occur in certain jurisdictions, and with modified rules. The unified rules of MMA are set by commission voters, not the UFC [1].

"Unified Rules" is followed by MMA organizations in the USA. It's a set of rules most state athletic commissions have agreed on over the years. It is a horrendous rule set and judging system for MMA.


You have it reversed.


  my script will never:
  - go down
  - require an upgrade
  - force me to migrate
  - surprise me
  - keep me up at night
Oh my sweet summer child.


but my server will:

  - require direct source code access
  - require go build tools
  - require maintaining GitHub auth
  - require upgrading build tools over time
  - not be trivial to rebuild on failure

> The phrase “sweet summer's child" became a popular way of describing an innocent, naive person (especially among American writers) during the early Victorian era. It was used by a number of authors during the 1840s, notably:- Fredrika Bremer (1840), James Staunton Babcock (1849) in The West Wind and Mary Whitaker (1850) in The Creole. It has been used in a number of other novels, poems and speeches (especially by US authors) throughout the 20th century. "The West Wind," by James Staunton Babcock, New York, 1849::Thy home is all around,:Sweet summer child of light and air,:Like God's own presence, felt, ne'er found,: A Spirit everywhere! The 1996 fantasy novel A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin adapted this former usage for a passage in which a young boy is called a "sweet summer child" by an old woman, since seasons last years in the novel's world and he has yet to experience winter. It was later popularized by its use in the episode "Lord Snow " (2011) of the television adaptation Game of Thrones .


My sweet summer child, you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic and rhetorical?


It's an expression that implies that someone is naive and/or inexperienced.


I find it condescending and cliched in the same way those in this thread do:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39417916

It adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. A better response is for the GP to tell us why they think the OP is naive. It's a low effort unsubstantiated jab that pollutes the comments.


I don't agree it adds nothing - it conveys that the author underestimates the power of Murphy's law.


You getting so tilted[0] at a turn of phrase[1] is polluting the comments far more than GP is. Touch grass[2].

[0] "tilted" is a common idiom used to denote anger or frustration which originates from the gaming community, when frustrated pinball machine players would literally tilt the machine. I am not suggesting that you are literally sitting or standing at an incline.

[1] "Turn of phrase" denotes a particularly notable form of non-literal expression. It was likely coined by Benjamin Franklin. Ironically, "turn of phrase" is itself a turn of phrase, as it is meant to evoke the image of turning words on a lathe, despite it not being physically possible to turn words on a lathe due to words being abstract concepts.

[2] "touch grass" is a lighthearted or humorous way of advising someone to take a break from their online activities, perhaps by going outside and interacting with the real world, particularly if they are excessively immersed in virtual or digital environments. It is also a useful metaphor for partaking in the smoking of marijuana, which is often referred to as "grass."


I hung some washing out and it was grounding to literally touch grass (before it started raining). Thanks & apologies


I think "theft" closer describes this rather than "demonetization"


Nah; the artists entered an agreement with Spotify, it's legally on board. If the artist believes Spotify breached contract they can either end it one-sidedly, or try and sue but I'm confident Spotify's side is rock solid.


I have a reasonably wast library of technical/scientific epubs/documents. Could I use this to import them and the quiz the books?


Yes! Of course because the LLM is running locally it is not as advanced as bigger models like Claude or GPT, but you can definately quiz the documents. From my experience it performs better with specific questions rather than more ambigous questions that require extensive understanding of the whole document.


Thanks, I was looking for this. The wobble is so distracting that I couldn't even check try this out.


> this is massive overkill

Then just create a few aliases for yourself and forget the rest.

People think that git is complex. It is.

The task it's accomplishing is insanely complicated.


Storing a whole bunch of version of a directory, with parent versions, isn't that complicated.

Easily accessing, rearranging, and merging the changes between those versions gets complicated, but git isn't actually very good at those parts!
