I would not trust a model/corpus about food that includes English and German, but excludes Italian and French

The table lists Italian, French and other cuisines. The 11 source listing is for language. The resource is missing authentic French-language described recipes, but there is surely an English-language French onion soup.

On top of this, it's 5x more expensive than a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra... which may be the better car regardless of price.

Man, I wish they sold this car in the states… I’d buy one instantly.

I consider my phone scrap as soon as it stops getting security updates. Same goes for almost all proprietary software.

Open source needs updates too, but somehow we take that for granted.


Is Trail of Bits transitioning out of "crypto"?

Imho, they are one of the best auditors out there for smart contracts. Wouldn't be surprising to see some of these talented teams find bigger markets.


No; Trail of Bits has always had multiple internal groups, including an OSS engineering group that does security and performance engineering. We still do plenty of audits as a company; you can see recent work on that front here[1] :-).

Source: I run the group that produced this work.

You all do amazing work, hope I can boast the same someday - or even 50% of it ;)

Seriously, you are my heroes!


In addition to what Will posted, published reports for blockchain projects tend to be skewed compared to our other groups.

Blockchain clients tend to want to publish the report, but that isn't true for our business lines/projects/clients that are more interesting to HN's audience.


Imo its not just crypto- a lot of their reports are enlightening to read


Yes, the elephant in the room is Bluesky itself. In my experience, it's way more toxic than Twitter/X.


It's hard to believe anything from the Economist these days.

They are basically sold to some circles of influence, such as Qatar and are merely propaganda.

Example, the world cup:

" The Economist

https://www.economist.com › leaders › 2022 › 11 › 17 › in-defence-of-qatars-hosting-of-the-world-cup

In defence of Qatar's hosting of the World Cup - The Economist The claim that Qatar is a den of homophobia is also misleading. "

The Economist

https://www.economist.com › middle-east-and-africa › 2022 › 11 › 02 › qatar-races-to-ready-itself-for-an-unusual-world-cup

Qatar races to ready itself for an unusual World Cup - The Economist

The Economist

https://www.economist.com › international › 2022 › 11 › 17 › the-qatar-world-cup-shows-how-football-is-changing

The Qatar World Cup shows how football is changing - The Economist Much of a broader $300bn economic development plan called Qatar 2030

etc.


As someone who actually reads the Economist weekly, I would like to disagree. Also, _of course_ there was a series of articles on Qatar in 2022. Not all of them were positive, mind you.


They are still better than most US news outlet.


Brendan Eich is also the inventor of JavaScript and the former CTO of Mozilla.

While I don't support Prop 8 personally, I don't think we should judge technical products on political opinions of their author. You may think it's funny to advocate for bans and boycotts, until the other side does it too and we get a world split in 2 (or more).


> You may think it's funny

There is nothing funny here at all. I'm so cynical about all of it that, as a many years long Brave user, I'm actively discouraging people from using it, because if Brave ever has enough users to be a problem for adtech, it will be destroyed. So if the crypto stink or ancient crimes against the progressive project can help forestall this for a few years, then at least they're good for something.

As for Eich and JavaScript; technically, I doubt more that 0.1% of working coders are fit to lace his boots. Myself included.


> As for Eich and JavaScript; technically, I doubt more that 0.1% of working coders are fit to lace his boots.

That seems pretty extreme.

Eh. It's one to not knowingly support a bad person, e.g. if they kept their opinions to themselves. But once an individual has made their positions crystal clear, it's a lot harder to morally support their innovations. Someone can do great work in tech, but if they are a known total piece of shit, I may/probably will avoid their products. I find a lot of tech-types try hard to decouple the humanity aspect from the innovation aspect - I presume this is a veiled attempt to get an "be an asshole" pass. Reality is people won't want to be around us if we suck as a humans, no matter how much code any of us put down.


Brendan Eich was against Gay Marriage at the same time that Barrack Obama himself was against Gay Marriage. A detail often forgotten in the rehashing of old grievances.

IMO, calling Brendan evil or bad is the kind of moral shortcut that Progressives love taking. A microcosm of the election, really: all the capable moderates were effectively canceled or marginalized by self-righteous radicals, who deemed that the only "good" candidate was someone who couldn't even win a primary.

It's bad politics and lazy morality.


Why not ideal?


Is someone aware of a GitHub repo with an implementation of this?



Less money laundering than cash obviously


There is no such thing as an all cash startup.
