> All that to say I'm not sure it really matters what exactly was written in the Bible because clearly a lot of the supposed followers of Christ never read it.

It’d be wild if they had. It’s a harder read than lots of books that the median reader struggles to understand, let alone enjoy enough to actually make it through. Most folks lack basically all historical context for the tales in it, and the book itself, so it reads as this unmoored set of confusingly-arranged-and-selected stories that have no hope of really making sense to them without a pile of reference books open alongside (what proportion of people are comfortable with and willing to engage in that style of reading?)

On the other hand, it’s also wild that more haven’t—one would think it’d be way up their list of life priorities. I take it as a sign they’re not really, under the veneer and trappings, convinced about the eternal (!!!) ramifications of the whole deal. “Well sure my eternal soul is on the line and I ‘believe’ I’m holding the literal word of the creator of the universe… but it’s haaaard and boring.” LOL.

> Trying to logic your way out of an emotional conflict just does not work.

It does, there just needs to be a proper model of how humans work to back it up. The usual mistake is using logic to prove why a person is right instead of to work out why the relationship is going wrong.

People who don't use logic to guide their interpersonal interactions cap out in some fairly shallow waters. They are more easily suckered by emotions primed to respond to looks and the present instead of properly aligning the relationship for the long haul. The easiest path to push back against those inbuilt biases is logic - there needs to be some set of principles beyond emotions to use as a guide.

React's threejs/pixijs bindings are a great example of what vdom diffing can let you do.

Since they bring their own reconcile(a, b, diff) function to React, these libs can turn:

const world = new World() const player = new Player() world.add(player) // somehow wire up the code to keep // player.pos updated

Into:

const [x, setX] = useState(0) return <World> <Player x={x} /> </World>

In other words, you write declarative code, and it does the hard imperative work of adding/removing/disposing/updating things for you.

Just like how it helps you sync your data model to underlying stateful DOM nodes; the idea can be applied on top of any stateful system.

It can do. Additionally, because each part is now smaller it's now easier to ensure that each part, in isolation, does what it says on the tin. It also means that other projects can reuse the parts. An example of the last point would be the Regex crate.

Regex is split into subcrates, one of which is regex-syntax: the parser. But that crate is also a dependency of over 150 other crates, including lalrpop, proptest, treesitter, and polars. So other projects have benefited from Regex being split up.

So they want Google’s datasets and search index to be available for other companies and want to prevent Google from being a dominant player in AI based search.

I wonder why a VC firm who is quite heavily invested in AI based startups file an amicus brief like that…

Edit: before this gets downvoted into oblivion, the comment is not against antitrust enforcement. It’s about VC firms having very specific ideas about what the antitrust enforcement would look like.

Translated, this "all it takes is one of them to back it with gold, or a basket of commodities, and create infrastructure around it" amounts to "all it takes is to re-create the western finance system at scale and make it work better for a couple decades without falling back into developing world problems of corruption and instability."

Though we are doing a particularly spectacular job of messing that up this year.

> they only communicate when one node has exclusive ownership over a block another node needs to write to

and it needs to communicate that he has exclusive ownership, and also after each writes you need to invalidate cached data on other nodes, and read new data from some transactionally consistent store, which will do all heavylifting (syncing/reconciling writes), which is kinda FDB.

There was an interesting juxtaposition on the page when I read it.

The story tells us that Cal-Maine's profits are 4 times what they were a year ago.

At the bottom of the page after the story where they list a variety of other WSJ stories they suggest to read, one of them when I read the page was to a story about how Cal-Maine missed Wall Street expectations in the their latest quarterly earnings report by a significant amount and it hurt the stock price. (The stories at the bottom change every time the page is loaded and I only saw that one once despite visiting the page several times).

Was Wall Street expecting their profits to actually grow more than the large growth the story reported?

Google is effectively being punished for retaining their earnings and re-investing in tons of software R&D over the years. Their "monopoly" is because people choose to use them, not because they have to. Not to mention they are are being disrupted by ChatGPT and other LLMs anyways right now. There have always been lots of web browsers and search engines, but Google simply did a better job making and refining their software and hiring people to do that.

The model supports both multi-scale rendering and autoregressive generation. With multi-scale rendering, you can generate a low-resolution preview of 200-300 frames and then upscale to higher resolutions (with or without tiling).

The autoregressive generation feature allows you to condition new segments based on previously generated content. A ComfyUI implementation example is available here:

Monopolies prevent startups from reaching critical mass.

Google and the rest of big tech are like the Jupiter of the tech world. It clears the orbit of anything else that could form.

Big tech is so big that it can jump into new markets with ease, kill incumbents, snuff out new players, and perpetually tax non-innovation.

We're twenty years behind on antitrust and breakups. It's time we had a forest fire to make way for new growth.

There were static code analyzers like findbugs able to do stuff like this 20 years ago. These days, your IDE should tell you off as well. And hopefully teams configure their builds to catch stuff like this using any of the available plugins for this.

LLMs seems overkill for this. But of course letting it do general code reviews is not a bad idea. And static code analyzers aren't perfect. Doing this at scale might be a bit tricky though; you'd have to go file by file. I assume Uber might have many millions of lines of code to screen. And maybe their developers aren't that concerned with addressing warnings.

But going file by file might be simple enough. And you can probably screen for important stuff with some decent system prompt and instruct it to check for potential resource leaks and similar issues and produce detailed bug reports with some priority if it finds them and a diff that addresses the issue. Could be a nice use case for agentic AIs to screen code like this.

wellllll, it might be more acurate to state that they have discovered how to manufacture there own accolades, and then help themselves to all the money they want, and handback the leftovers to whoever it is that validates the accolades and anything else they are doing. move fast and take everything, cept of course that, you know,bit of push back thing happening which in.the current state of affairs, boils down to, that they want all of the money so badly, that other people are just backing off, as it's dangerous to want any yourself, so then counterintuitivly, money looses value past a certain survival level, and here we are..... egg mafia, and smuggling operated by the same people doing the fentanil
Show HN: Code Claude Code

In the nature of Open Source, I am releasing something I'm actively working on but is insanely simple and will likely be made anyways.

It is an SDK for scripting Claude Code.

It's a lightweight (155 lines) and free wrapper around claude code

This is a big deal because it seems that using claude code and cursor has become largly repitive. My workflow typically goes like this:

Plan out my task into a file, then have claude code implement the plan into my code.

I'm actively building a product with this, but still wanted to make it OSS!

Use it now with `pip install codesys`

The size of the vector width really isn't as important as the general design of the instructions themselves. It's pretty trivially easy to extend the number of lanes and vector width with the right design. This is separate from the problem of "what is the best size for the particular host machine I'm running on", but that's something we've already been handling in various ways for a while, without needing wholly new instruction set designs.

> The chain of events you seem to be suggesting is something like Russia has good relations with their neighbour, then that neighbour's government collapses in a highly suspicious coup and then, presumably, the US military starts to overtly move in and set up military bases.

1. Russia and Ukraine did not have good relations. Ever since the USSR collapsed, Russia has been harassing Ukraine with everything from territorial enroachments to poisoning their presidents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Tuzla_Island_conflict

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-43611547

Andrey Illarionov, who was Putin's senior advisor at the time of the Tuzla island conflict, credits that as the pivot point where Putin first articulated territorial claims over Ukraine, far wider than only the island. He recalls a specific meeting with top Russian military leadership on 17th September 2003 as the moment when Putin first presented the long-term strategy to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty with the same pseudohistoric mumbojumbo we've come to know.

2. There's nothing "highly suspicious" about the Maidan. Ukraine's government torpedoed a trade agreement with the EU at intense Russian pressure (which included economic embargo), people came to the street to voice their protest, the pro-Russian government responded with increasing violence, which ultimately led to them fleeing the country after the police snipers killed over a hundred people. Ukraine's parliament voted to hold snap elections and a new government was voted into office. The events are extremely well documented, known by the hour, and any insinuations of "CIA-backed coup" are purge garbage, an insult to intelligence, and a sign that the person spreading them has not bothered to learn about the topic at all. Since when are general elections a coup?

3. Nobody was building any military bases in Ukraine before Russia invaded, and even then it took years before Ukraine got any serious backing. The whole narrative of the US enroaching on Russia is again a total garbage, completely detached from facts. Until the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the US government was in the process of dismantling and removing Cold War era assets from Europe. For example, they deactivated all heavy armour brigades and removed all tanks from Europe by 2013.

Since you keep posting the same debunked narratives and obviously have an interest in this topic, why not spend some time to learn about the actual history of relations? Why keep reposting the same propaganda talking points that have no substance?

>There must exist a lunasynchronous orbit that would remain over the earth side of the moon, though I'm not sure if its close enough to the moon to avoid being perturbed by the earth and kicked out.

Selenostationary orbits (The astrodynamics terms generally take the Greek name) are indeed unstable and vulnerable to perturbation. Instead, you can have a trajectory around one of the Earth-Moon LaGrange points (points where the gravitational pull from each body is equal)

More than 50 years behind. We shifted policy to barely enforcing anti-trust in the ‘70s, under growing Chicago school (spits) influence among elected officials, “think tanks” (lobbying groups), and courts.

That’s why everything’s so insanely consolidated now. Practically every market has a handful of massive players all of which would currently be under serious threat of break-up under the old approach to enforcement. It’s all monopoly.

We have two major phone operating systems and they charge a tax of 30%, which gets passed onto consumers. This should be zero if there was unlimited competition or web installation. There's also so much innovation happening in the mobile space right now. It's not like they're parked and reaping untold benefits.

By having search monopolies, they've gamified paying for placement above your competitor's trademarks. Rather than spend on engineering or lowering costs, you have to pay to defend your brand.

There are thousands of ways these monopolies are horrible for the consumer, for small business, and for innovation.

These companies force their way into new markets, kill the sustainable incumbents by give away services sustained on unrelated business unit profit, then raise rates once the field has been salted and acquired. Amazon is a grocery store, primary care doctor, home electronics company, and James Bond.

Why should Amazon get free advertising for their films on their web storefront, plastered on the side of their delivery vans, emblazoned on their packaging, when competing studios have to spend millions on marketing? To top it off, they're outsourcing the film crew labor to Eastern Europe where there are no crew safety laws and are putting American film workers out of business.

And the current price pressure on your salary is directly a result of their market power. They don't have to fear you starting a company that can impact their profits anymore.

These companies should all be dismantled. Large companies should be exposed to evolutionary pressures, but because of monopoly they become invasive species and dominate entire ecosystems. Regulation is the path to healthy competition and innovation.

I’m not sure this claim has any more validity than his. Calling people unknowable flies in the face of a bunch of modern disciplines. We can see people behave very predictably with Game Theory, for example.

Still, I respect the view that the individual is private unto themselves in a profound way. But I would also say people tend to show you what they believe in how they act. If you pay attention you will begin to notice when someone has put their hopes in power, finances, achievement, or ideology, to give a few popular examples. And it’s not about what people say animates them, or even about what they believe about themselves—it’s how they act.

it's not a source at all, it's definitionally bullshit because the LLM has no concern for the truth. Never post LLM text. Anyone can get that for themselves. To do so is an insult to the comment section. I'm not here to read bot summaries. If you ask the bot something and then it leads you to a source and then you read that and then you put that in your own words, that's a comment worth reading.

American troops are not raping their way through Canada now, are they? They are not systematically aiming bombs at schools, churches, hospitals? They are not committing the war crimes already[1], are they? They didn't kidnap hundred of thousand of Canadian or Danish people, right?

Wth are you on? How is the unhinged and massively unpopular president comparable to the majority of the Russian society consistently showing the support to rape and war crimes?

Small minority of the American residents support kidnapping and trafficking of the other residents and citizens.

These two are not comparable.

[1] unless we add steadfast support for the genocide and war crimes of the Israel, but then we could add all the atrocities Russia supports in Syria and Africa in general.

> ut none of that is the main problem with doing an internet business while taking a gig-economy driving position or whatever: you need enough income to stay above water, gig economy roles don't earn much per hour, so you need to spend a lot of hours on them to survive, and then there's not much spare time to work on the business — "exhausted from my 6 hours of doordash driving to make less than 200$ that day" to quote the article.

Yep there’s not much here but to do it, or do it on days where they’re not driving. Or early in the morning before driving.

Sometimes life is hard — this person is clearly doing their best, but sometimes changing your life requires more and people are capable of growing into it/figuring it out.

Getting income is doing the business — it always starts from zero.

> Worse than I thought regarding home-hosting from a laptop: "Videos which I would upload patiently from the supermarket seating area, having canceled my home internet service the week I was fired in a bid to save every dollar possible in order to not lose my house and everything I've built." — so they can't host from domestic broadband, because they don't have it.

The second suggestion was Oracle free tier. I’m sure there might be problems with that suggestion too but there are infinite possibilities after that as well.

Resourcefulness is a skill, and it’s the most important at times like this.

There's no serious moral or value distinction here; if you insist on pointing fingers you can, but at the end of the day the profits we see celebrated come with higher costs, and the continuing-to-increase wealth inequality in this country confirms that not everyone sees the benefit.

A lot of Americans don't realize that electricity demand in the US is growing very slowly and maybe not at all. Growth projections to 2050 continue to look about the same as recent years: Under 1% per year. AI isn't moving the needle.

We need to continue to replace coal plants. But those are down to 16% of supply. Renewables are growing at 9% per year. No crisis detected.

On HN we're maximally exposed to the perhaps wishful thinking of people who have invested in SMRs, which are less economically efficient than conventional nuclear power plants, which suffer from high project risk.

I'm glad people like Bill Gates are investing in new generation nuclear technology. He can afford to not make money on that anytime soon.

Stephen Jenkinson, author of Die Wise and founder of the School of Orphan Wisdom speaks a lot about this. The “wretched anxiety” he observed as head of palliative care in Canada he claims stems from fear of being forgotten. Which is tied to a particular Western failure: not honoring our elders who have died, and the amnesia of cultural memory. His book is a good read, and I think provides an alternative account to the points made in this article.
