Show HN: I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server 27 by cmrdporcupine | 6 comments on Hacker News. I got my start on the Internet in the very early 90s playing with, authoring in, and programming on LambdaMOO ( https://ift.tt/mk0WhCV ) and similar systems. Shared virtual social spaces, with a persistent object oriented authoring / scripting language. They can be classified as MUDs (depending on who you talk to) but the focus is social, creative / authoring, and shared programming not RPG gaming. I've always wanted to see this kind of thing modernized and further developed. Over the last 25 years or so I've worked on similar but novel & improved things, but never finished. So I decided to just re-implement LambdaMOO and use that as a base, instead and keep compatibility as a goal, but build it out on a more modern foundation that takes advantage of multiple core machines, newer network protocols, newer connectivity methods, uses MVCC transactions for the shared database ...

GitHub Discussion about the recent feed changes becomes 3rd most upvoted ever 14 by beeman | 15 comments on Hacker News. The discussion [0] about the recent changes has been upvoted by so many developers, that it's currently the 3rd most upvoted discussion on the platform [1]. I've been talking about it on Twitter [2] and tried to ping a few people I know who work at GitHub, but to no avail - there has been total silence since they made the change 5 days ago. Is there someone here on HN who can bring this to the attention of the right people? Even though I understand it's a corporation, I can't imagine nobody cares about so many developers being unhappy. The ask is pretty simple: leave the old chronological feed [3] as an option. 0: https://ift.tt/v7EQmae 1: https://ift.tt/zqiouKU 2: https://twitter.com/beeman_nl/status/1701278872858178005 3: https://ift.tt/XcW8RZ9

Show HN: Erlmacs – a script to update your .emacs file for Erlang development 7 by dlachausse | 0 comments on Hacker News. erlmacs automatically configures and updates your .emacs file with support for the emacs mode that is included with Erlang/OTP. It frees you from having to locate the installation directory of Erlang/OTP and its bundled emacs mode. It is an escript that only depends upon Erlang/OTP and Emacs. Note: There is not much in the way of error checking at this moment, but it does make a backup of your .emacs files before any destructive operations.

Homeland Security using “Babel X” to link SSNs to social media posts 45 by danghatesme | 7 comments on Hacker News. Recently I learned about this effort by Homeland Security, Border Patrol, and other government agencies to track the online discussions of citizens & immigrants, and tie those discussions to their SSNs. I suppose LifeLog (Facebook) was merely a stepping stone in this effort, which appears to be accelerating with the advent of low-cost AI. https://ift.tt/olJ0nvZ

Show HN: Modular Diffusion – A modular Python library for diffusion models 6 by secularchapel | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a few months as part of my thesis in Machine Learning. It's meant to be a library that provides an easy-to-use but flexible API to design and train Diffusion Models. I decided to make it because I wanted to quickly prototype a Diffusion Model but there were no good tools to do it with. I think it really can help people prototype their own Diffusion Models a lot faster and only in a few lines of code. The base idea is to have a Model class that takes different modules corresponding to the different aspects of the Diffusion Model process (noise schedule, noise type, denoising network, loss function, guidance, etc.) and allow the user to mix and match different modules to achieve different results. The library ships with a bunch of prebuilt modules and the plan is to add many more. I also made it super e...
