Thank you for the response here. Not being able to upgrade the machine without completely re-indexing has actually become a huge issue for me. My use case is that I need to upgrade the machine to perform a big indexing operation that happens all at once and then after that reduce the machine resources. Typesense has future plans to persist the index to disk but it's not on the road map yet. And with the indexing improvements, Meilisearch may be a viable option for my use case now. I'll be checking this out!

Hi, this ["Lisply MCP"](https://github.com/gornskew/lisply-mcp) project started out as a "quick hack" to get Claude Desktop driving my [Common Lisp based backend](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl), and ended up as a generic Node.js wrapper meant to work with pretty much [any language backend which can support "eval" and http](https://github.com/gornskew/lisply-mcp/blob/master/BACKEND-R...) . By default, it comes configured to work with an existing reference-implementation backend [CL-based container image](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl/-/tree/master/gwl...) which it will pull and run on-demand. An [Emacs Lisp backend](https://github.com/gornskew/skewed-emacs/blob/master/dot-fil...) is in progress.

Yeah, the most important part of that video is where he says: "it works well enough". I think there's lots of room for this kind of bespoke software that's fundamentally unmaintainable -- and not something anyone could reasonably afford to make with professionals -- but good enough for purpose. This seems like a great, life-changing example, but it's still subject to the same thing the article is talking about.

I've had some free time recently so I've been trying to use the various AI tools to do a greenfield project with Rails. I know the stack intimately, so it's been a useful exercise as a check against hype. While I can occasionally trust the tooling to make big changes, most of the time I find that even the small changes are wrong in some important, fundamental way that requires re-writing everything at a later time. Asking the models to fix whatever is broken usually results in an endless cycle of (very junior-like!) random changes, and eventually I just have to go in and figure out the fundamental restructure that fixes the issue.

Would this be good enough for someone writing a one-time-use, bespoke piece of software? Maybe. Would they be able to maintain this code, without having a truly senior-level ability to work with the code itself? No [1].

I'm less fearful of LLM taking experienced programmers' jobs [2], because I fundamentally think this kind of stuff plays in the same end of the market as knockoff designer goods, Ikea furniture, and the like. It makes custom software available to an entire customer segment that couldn't have afforded it before, but nobody is going to confuse it with a product made by a team of skilled professionals [3,4].

[1] But to a really inexperienced developer, it looks the same.

[2] I am more fearful of clueless business types, who think this technology obviates the need for programmers.

[3] ...but will unskilled professionals be under pressure? Maybe!

[4] ...and what about skilled people, using the same tools? My current hypothesis is they're beneficial, but ask me again in six months.

If the sites are bluffing maybe you can too.

If the actual page content is loaded and the cookie is just a modal box slapped on top of it, right click the cookie modal box > open inspector > remove the child element of body that contains the cookie box. If cookie box disabled scrolling, select body tag at the inspector and tick off the overflow and position stylings to default.

I don't think your complaint/experience actually lines up with the numbers here.

In the Post-Series A numbers, the lowest numbers are in the ~0.5% range. This is at most 2 figures off what the founders could get together. In a world where founders together got 9 figures, a senior engineer would get 7 figures, not 5 figures like in your situation.
Show HN: Real-time AI analysis of Trump's posts on financial markets within 30s
by jayqinohboi | 2025-04-15 04:20:58+00:00
Hey HN, I built TrumpPosted to track the potential financial market impact of Donald Trump's social media posts in near real-time.

It works by: Scraping his posts almost immediately.

Sending the post content + metadata to an AI (Llama 3.3 70b via Groq) for analysis against specific financial subjects (stocks, bonds, crypto, or user-defined like 'Tesla stock').

The AI generates a headline, market sentiment score (0-100), summary, attitude analysis, and detailed commentary.

Subscribers get email alerts within ~30 seconds containing this analysis tailored to their chosen subject.

All analyses are viewable on the site and browseable via a dynamic archive.

Built with Next.js, MongoDB, Groq API (Batch + Single), Apify, and Mailgun.

It's purely an informational tool (NOT financial advice – see the disclaimer!) meant to highlight potential volatility triggers and provide AI-driven perspectives.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks - Jay Qin

I think I found X-Rite by just searching for color with the start menu.

Before I used that tool, I tried a few of the built-in colour profiles under the display settings, and that didn't help.

I had to turn the brightness up because when the display is in sRGB it gets dimmer. Everything is much more dim and muted, like a conventional laptop screen. But if I change it back to say, one of the DICOM profiles, then yeah, torch mode. (And if I turn the brightness down in that mode, bright colours are fine but dim colours are too dim and everything is still too saturated).

Believing that something is inevitable is the first step towards it becoming inevitable. But there feels like there is a momentum in people, and in society as a whole that only ends one way, and we need to release and explore. I don't know if once society gets the "bug" to tear it all down there's any going back.

I feel like we're destroying our societies and getting into wars out of curiosity, and because we've forgotten how it hurts more than anything else.

Heh, many languages have this inverse correlation between language features and the quality of their standard library. Zig for example has amazing language features, I wish that I could inline "orelse" or inline "catch" in Java, but I can't, and yet spinning up a cross-platform and asynchronous tcp server is infinitely easier in Java than in Zig. In fact, the more accurate correlation might be that the more annoying it is to write in a language, the more likely it is to have a thriving ecosystem, eg: Rust, Go, Javascript.

I am in the middle of my third AI assisted project. I disagree ~90%.

If you prompt an LLM like an architect and feed it code rather than expecting it to write your code, both ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.7 Sonnet do a great job. Do they mess up? Regularly. But the key is to guide the LLM and not let the LLM guide you, otherwise you'll end up in purgatory.

It takes some time to get used to what types of prompts work. Remember, LLMs are just tools; used in a naive way, they can be a drain, but used effectively they can be great. The typing speed alone is something I could never match.

But just like anything, you have to know what you're doing. Don't go slapping together a bunch of source files that they spit out. Be specific, be firm, tell it what to review first, what's important and what is not. Mention specific algorithms. Detail exactly how you want something to fit together, or describe shortcomings or pitfalls. I'll be damned if they don't get it most of the time.

You ask other scholars in the field to read it and give their opinion on it. It’s this thing called “peer review” that is kind of the basis of all modern academic inquiry.

In the case of hiring, typically a committee of other professors in the department would evaluate candidates, not a bunch of DEI bureaucrats. They would read what the candidates have published and see if the arguments they make are sound, and look at things like # of citations that indicate how prominent the work is in the field.

I don’t know if you’ve ever met any academics, but I promise you they have no problems forming opinions about the quality of work of other people in their field.

> with just the 65C816, the register modes (8 or 16) bit can be a challenge to work with. When working on the PANCAKE-ROM project, I got bit by mixing up what mode the CPU was in while writing some memory locations. The memory manipulation was assumed to be in 16 bit mode, but it was 8 bit. The 65C832 makes this even more rough.

I've done a little 65816 coding and I quickly learned that it was best to standardize on register sizes throughout most of the code and for routine calls, only switching to optimize things. 8-bit A and 16-bit X and Y made the most sense by far for small-scale asm code. It let you work in 8 bits when dealing with registers and using common 8-bit variables, while being able to loop over larger data structures with X and Y as memory addresses and counters, and also manipulate 16-bit values to some degree (copying, incrementing/decrementing).

Other common CPUs of the time instead either had different registers names for different sizes (80x86), or coded the size in the instruction (68000). This avoided the mode bits and issues with code written for different modes (which even affected instruction length of the 65816 when using immediate data).

The argument is that vibe coding is great for little personal programs but bad for full-blown products.

I don't think you can ship a fully baked product made exclusively with AI coding yet. But it's *really* useful for investigative product development - e.g. when you have a few different ideas for how something might work but aren't quite sure what's best. I used to regret that I never mastered Figma or other mockup tools - now I never will have to.

Not really, the ssd1306 has quite short lifespan

I used one to display network statistic on my homelab server, after a year, many pixels is supper dim. They are clearly burned in. I think the display is not meant to be used for long time, but rather for short time. Meanwhile i have seen 16x2 lcd being used for over decade without issue

Ok sure but also the number of CT scans has been increasing exponentially (3 million CTs in 1980, 20 million in 1995, 60 million 2005[0] to 93 million in 2023[1]) so you'd need to find some opposing force that is decreasing the incidence of cancer cases exponentially per capita to keep the balance.

So you are right that the random number becomes "password-like", but of course if you really care about that you don't need to store the exact random number, just as you don't have to store a raw password.

However, if your random login code is easily typable then it's usually drawn from a small enough keyspace that any such code is trivially brute-forceable. Like if it's decimal digits you need more than ten.

So in practice people just trust that you are on good terms with your email provider and anyone else with access to your email, and use other mechanisms to limit access to these codes from insiders.

How else are people using LLMs to code? Other than this?

Its so fast to do these things. Seems dumb not to use an LLM to interpret an error message if you don’t immediately know the problem. And if it doesn’t work you can alway abort and do it yourself. The whole code gen and debugging process might take 45 seconds.

Sure its dumb if you’re writing some short simple function. And you need to be in the loop and understand all the changes you are making in a professional setting. But that just sounds like the basic workflow of coding with an LLM.

So throwing society into chaos with a sudden opium ban is worth making a few self righteous officials feel better about controlling everyone's lives? Because that's what this crackdown is bringing. How about people exercise some willpower and moderation with the pipe, instead of driving the entire opium trade underground, creating violence between smugglers, ruining the livelihoods of countless ordinary people caught in the middle, and practically begging the Western powers to escalate their military actions against us when their precious trade is disrupted?

Not really true in an end-state market where only monopoly players exist.

Nokia didn't exist in the end-state smartphone market. Smartphones were nowhere near done innovating when they were dominant, and now they are essentially a completed product.

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have done essentially zero innovation and they do great business.

Duke Energy does zero innovation and they do great business.

Coca-Cola does zero innovation and they do great business.

Do their businesses incrementally improve and become more efficient? Yes, but that's much different than being an innovation company.

Again, the mistake you are making here is mischaracterizing the type of business Apple is in based on the business they were in 10 years ago. Apple is not in an innovation business anymore. Most of its product lines are in areas where no startup can possibly enter the market and compete.

Apple is becoming a company where their financial functions outweigh their actual business (another example of a business like this are the major airlines like United and Delta that make more revenue on credit cards than actual flying). Again I had the example of services bringing in more money than some of Apple's major product lines.

Apple storing your family photos on some computers they didn't design in a data center they might not even own is likely a more profitable and higher revenue business than the incredibly complicated hardware that they are selling you.

we should always start with the presumption that an effect like this is adaptive, as perhaps as simple as "when you're sick you should not sally forth to fight a dragon you heard about."

And while in the modern world we tend to think "well, we can treat this with chemistry", don't be shocked if that course uncovers undesirable side effects down the road, or even direct effects like "hey, you're not fighting infection as effectively".

> They don't care about taxes - they are happy to implement regressive taxes that disproportionately burden the middle class and poor, such as sales taxes, Social Security, etc. They just don't want to pay taxes themselves.

A very large portion of the country vote Republican, and I would be surprised if they are by and large the most well-off part of the American public.

I love what they're doing in expanding the program and such, but the one problem that all "startup tiers" seem to have is that they only last one year.

Most startups are not profitable after just one year and paying cloud bills is a drag on growth.

A graduated drop-off would be better maybe 100% off for year one, then 75% year two, 50% year three, 25% year four, and full price year five. All subject to some sort of annual or total cap, of course.

That's a more realistic picture of what it takes to get off the ground.

It's both. The system or process has it's actual entropy, and the sequence of observations we make has a certain entropy. We can say that "this sequence of numbers has this entropy", which is slightly different from the entropy of the process which created the numbers. For example, when we make more coin tosses, our sequence of observations has an entropy which gets closer and closer to the actual entropy of the coin.

From the file:

"This list of interesting mathematics books and internet sites is mainly intended for sixth-formers planning to take a degree in mathematics. However, everyone who likes mathematics should take a look: some of the items are very suitable for less experienced readers and even the most hardened mathematician will probably find something new here."

INTRODUCTION

The range of mathematics books now available is enormous. This list just contains a few suggestions which you should find helpful if you wish to choose some mathematical reading. Do not feel you should read all or most of these books: there is far too much here for even the most dedicated reader! Just pick what appeals to you. Any reading you do will certainly prove useful, and it is also perfectly alright not to have read any of the books in this list!

The books here are divided into three groups: historical and general (which aim to give a broad idea of the scope and development of the subject); recreational, from problem books (which aim to keep your brain working) to technical books (which give you insight into a specific area of mathematics and include mathematical discussion); and textbooks (which cover a topic in advanced mathematics of the kind that you will encounter in your first year at university). Do not feel that you should only read the difficult ones: medicine is only good for you if it is hard to take, but this is not true for mathematics books.

All the books on the list should be obtainable from your local library, though you may have to order them. Most are available (relatively) cheaply in paperback or as kindle editions and so would make good additions to your Christmas list. Some may be out of print, but still obtainable from libraries.

You might also like to look on the web for mathematics sites. Good starting points are:

NRICH (http://nrich.maths.org.uk) which is a web-based interactive mathematics club; in addition there is:

Plus (http://plus.maths.org.uk), which is a web-based mathematics journal. Both these sites are based in Cambridge.

Thank you for providing a source.

I don't agree with Ohio's diversity statements being used as part of the selection criteria. It's wrong.

What about every other university though? JD Vance's statement called universities the enemy. Most universities aren't connected to each other, they aren't a single organization and aren't responsible for what each does.

1. If only a few were using diversity statements as a part of the hiring process, which is wrong, what's the justification in calling all of them the enemy?

2. What about the professors? Most aren't responsible for setting hiring practices. Why are they the enemy?

> That is before we even get into the explicitly racist hiring and admissions policies. [ from your original comment ]

Same as the above for this. A University is a large insinuation of students, teachers, researchers, and various employees. Harvard employs 19k people and has 23k students.

#----------------

My opinion is that Vance is attacking universities not because he cares about merit based hiring or the quality of students but for selfish political reasons.

Why I think this:

1. As previously stated not all universities are doing what you claimed. Ohio for one, and the first link says "some" but there are thousands.

2. There are private schools that receive public money but discriminate against LGBQT [1] However nothing has been said or done about this by Trump in the past or now. These religious schools are more conservative and attacks would likely anger the base.

3. Republicans perform better with non-college educated voters [2] 2024 election:

No college 36% D , 62% R

Some college or 2yr degree: ~44% D, ~53% R

4-year degree: 53% D, 45% R

Graduate school+: 59% D , 38% R

Therefore reducing the number of people who go to higher education could benefit Republicans in elections.

The real takeaway here is that programs you whip up for your own use, by any means, are not the same things as maintainable products you can deliver to customers.

Vibe coding, or VB tricks and hacks 25 years ago, or whatever, sure, do it if that works for you, but that's not a product you can maintain for a customer base. It's a program, not a product.

> end up with the most track they can run for the least money

ITYM "least track?"

The railraods are all obsessed with this metric called "capital ratio" which is the revenue intensity of their equipment.

Most of corporate america cares about "operating ratio" (how much money do you spend operating your business versus revenue). Railroads are a somewhat uniquely capital-intensive business, since they're the only transportation industry that owns and maintains their own roads. They consequently have come to see their best metric for efficiency is how small their capital asset base is, versus their revenue.

This leads to the joke that "the optimal railroad has no track and runs no trains."

Demand for traveling from city to city in the US is unproven? What is 819 million domestic airplane passengers in 2023? [0] That's an average of 2.2 million people per day. Granted flying will almost always win for cross-country trips, but I'd bet a significant chunk of those flights are within a range competitive with HSR.

Spin is my new favorite thing. It helped me learn Paxos by model checking the algorithm.

My writeup/getting started guide here (for checking Paxos) https://github.com/glycerine/spin_paxos

It is kind of awesome that you can alter the algorithm and immediately look at the counter example (problem you just created).
