> And the purchasing power in America is about 3-4 times as high.

The median income in Barcelona ~34K EUR per year. The median income in New York City is ~42K USD per year.

> If you're poor in America you just don't get to go to college.

What? Who told you that? This is untrue. There are lots of grants (free money) and loans available to low income students. Also, the university system in the US is much less rigid than Spain. In the US, many lower income people will first attend community college to get a two years associate's degree. Then, start a job, and attend night school at a university for another 3-4 years to get an undergraduate degree.

> This is just so not true. You can literally launch talos and have an N node cluster in about 10 minutes 9 of which is waiting for downloads, configs, etc. 1 min of configuration. It’s just that easy.

I agree, OP's points contrast with reality. Anyone can whip out a Kubernetes cluster with COTS hardware or cheap VMs within minutes. Take Canonical's microK8s distribution. Do a snap install to get a Kubernetes node up and running, and run a command to register it in a cluster. Does this pass nowadays as rocket science?

With established cloud providers its even easier.

In Common Lisp, we sort of get this by the separation of exported versus unexported package symbols.

Unexported package symbols do two things:

- when visibility "windows" are created between packages via the "use" mechanism, unexported symbols are excluded.

- unexported symbols require tokens with two colons: you have to write foo::bar, not just foo:bar, to refer to bar if it is unexported from package foo; moreover you must still write foo::bar even if you are using package foo, whereas if it were exported, you would just write bar.

CLOS uses symbols for naming entities like generic functions, classes and slots. It has no additional protection mechanisms beyond what the symbols provide, and symbols are agnostic of classes (and everything/anything else which they name).

Shades of Objectivism. But clearly Objectivism was worse since Ayn Rand insisted that objective reality is knowable, but since it's only somewhat knowable Objectivism ends up requiring priests of sorts. Still, Rationalism does not seem to have this tremendous flaw[], it's just that rationalists might.

[] Eh, I know little about Rationalism. Please correct me.

My point is that even C++ (a language that somewhat-famously lacks built-in support for reflection) has tooling to access and run non-public parts of the program.

"I don't like making functions, methods, and members nonpublic because how would I access them when debugging?" simply isn't a credible complaint when applied to most mainstream languages.

FWIW the Orthodox churches also use the term "catholic" when referring to themselves. Sometimes it is translated (as "universal"), but oftentimes it's kept in the original Greek. In some cases there are deliberate distinctions introduced to keep the two meanings apart: e.g. in Russian Church use, "Catholic" in the sense of Roman Catholic is "katolik" (mapping to Latin), while "catholic" in its original meaning of "universal" is "kafolik" (mapping directly to Greek).

Open source has the best kind of coordination. If there's a real use-case for two things to work together, you or someone else can implement it and share it without anyone's permission. Meanwhile in proprietary land, people sometimes build things that nobody wanted, and also leave out features with high demand. Proprietary optimizes for the profit of some individuals; open source optimizes for maximum utility.

Thus far, open source has optimized for maximum utility for individuals who can write code... but AI may be changing that soon enough.

It's pretty easy for this sort of thing to devolve into political argument, so I'm going to try to approach it from a neutral standpoint that both political groups would agree with: broad generalization, but liberals are living in the "future" while conservatives are living in the "past." One thing that both sides generally agree on is that our current social ills are a modern phenomenon. Liberals and conservatives alike will tell you that it's important to live near the outdoors, near family [1], have a tight social network and groups you belong to. Meanwhile, conservatives are significantly more likely to have of those things.

Does that explain everything? No, not by a long shot. But I think it has a significant effect.

The atmosphere is always an issue, we can correct for many of the effects using adaptive optics, but there are always limits. The advantage you get from going bigger on the ground is that you are making a bigger "bucket" to put photons in. More photons = fainter objects are visible, this is the motivation for projects like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Large_Telescope

Typically for non-adaptive optics telescope the atmosphere will limit you to the scale of about an arcsecond. Meaning objects which take up less than an arcsecond of the sky will appear as points. Adaptive optics telescopes however have much better resolving power.

I mean, if IQ is real then SES and education are plausibly strongly caused by it. In that case, controlling for SES and education and then saying "there's not much signal left, thus IQ is bunk" just means that you've basically renamed IQ into "the implicit thing that determines SES and education, which I will not calculate directly." With such related properties it becomes hard to determine causation in general. The obvious test would be to improve education and see if IQ shifts. I don't have a study for this on hand, but I expect (just to register my prediction, not to make an argument) that if I look I'll find that the signal is weak that direction.

Interesting! I’ve faced the same problem where I have a mega PR and spend a lot of time breaking that up into separate PRs. I agree that what you are suggesting is a different but related problem to what this tool currently solves. I’ll start thinking through how this would look, and I’ll go ahead and make a GitHub issue if you or anyone else wants to start a discussion there.

As a trans woman who has talked with many other trans women, the majority, including me would prefer not having gone through male puberty at all. The benefits do not outweigh the gender dysphoria. We would love to go through puberty the exact same way as a cis woman, but it's not like we don't realize HRT and current methods have room for improvement.

The effects are only partially reversible, and only after tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in surgeries, hair removal, voice training, other treatments.

I understand it's a politically losing issue now, but I believe it's due to misinformation, outrage porn, and unfair application of rigor, from mostly the anti-trans side but even allies and trans folk themselves sometimes. To that end I hope this does not feel like an attack - let me know if you have any questions that you think my perspective would help.

That's a good description of their last few Intel models. M1 does okay, even when it's fanless.

Computers get more powerful every year. Not everyone needs to get sustained 100% out of their CPU.

So don't be an asshole about wanting other features.

Nitpick: It is called "final" in Java, but your point stands. As I understand, C++ borrowed their "final" keyword from Java/C#. I'm not trolling when I write that last sentence. That is something that has really changed about C+ since the C++-11 committee was started -- and continues. When people write language / library proposals, they now regularly survey the landscape and talk about their experiences with other languages / libraries.

> So the argument to effectively nationalize Meta, simply as punishment for getting normies to like their apps so much, because a minority of people just think it's wrong to be good at targeting ads, seems extreme to me.

I don’t find this to be a good representation of my argument - what I’d call for is very much not punishment, it’s a targeted response to fix no more than the identified problem. (The problem being, people aren’t being afforded a reasonable option to function in society that doesn’t involve a large wealth transfer to facebook.)

I don’t think “effectively nationalize Meta” is a fair reading of my position either - there are plenty of autonomous private companies are non-nationalized and that operate in areas where there’s regulation around pricing.

Those early OS X years were a real golden age for the Mac - the hardware was quite competitive with x86, and the OS was as good as it's ever been. Eventually the wheels started coming off both.

We're in a second golden age of hardware, so I can dream that maybe one day soon Mac OS will be amazing again.

(Despite the new hardware golden age, the emulation performance here is pretty close to unusable on an M1 with Safari, unfortunately.)

Or if IQ is less real than IQ-ists think it is, then it is plausibly strongly caused by SES and education. See?

I'm not even saying you're wrong (I think you are, but I don't have to defend that argument). I'm just saying the level of epistemic certainty you kicked this subthread off with was unwarranted. You know, "most reliable metrics in psychology" and all that.
by bilalq | 2025-06-20 05:07:31+00:00
I'd argue it's the same thing. When doing literate programming, I started by first writing a description of what I was going to do and why. Then I wrote the implementation. When I finished, I went back and updated the description to match what I'd done. Maybe I'd get the idea to improve the approach and repeat this for a few cycles.

But the specifics of the flow aside, it's the mindset difference that makes it all feel special. The docs are the primary artifact. The code is secondary.

In an era of Copilot-style inline suggestions, taking the time to write a lengthy description effectively feeds the prompt to get a better output.

> Rivet's taking a different approach of investing in different three primitives based on how most organizations deploy their applications today:

I think your take only reflects buzzword-driven development, and makes no sense beyond that point. A "stateless function" is at best a constrained service which supports a single event handler. What does that buy you over Kubernetes plain old vanilla deployments? Nothing.

To make matters worse, it doesn't seem that your concept was thought all the way through. I mean, two of your concepts (stateless functions and stateful workers) have no relationship with containers. Cloudflare has been for years telling everyone who listens that they based their whole operation on tweaking the V8 engine to let multiple tenants run their code in how many V8 isolates they want and need. Why do you think you need containers to run a handler? Why do you think you need a full blown cluster orchestrating containers just to run a function? Does that make sense to you? It sounds like you're desperate to shoehorn the buzzword "Kubernetes" next to "serverless" in a way it serves absolutely no purpose beyond being able to ride a buzzword.

Light is always light and has always the same speed but its path in a gas is less straightforward than in a vacuum because of the interactions with atoms. It takes longer to get through. Its speed as we can measure it is c divided by the refractive index of the gas, if I'm not wrong.

Same thing for light in a liquid or in a solid. Example: speeds of radio waves in networking cables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_factor#Typical_veloci...

Ask HN: Is there a format for sharing prompts used in OSS
by theogravity | 2025-06-20 05:11:47+00:00
I recall reading about a major OSS project providing the prompts they used to vibe code their plugin(?) and was wondering if someone came up with a spec / format on how best to share the prompts used.

In my case, I'm using Cursor and just prompting to have the agent do one task after another. I want to share the prompts I used to quickly build a new transport for my LogLayer logging library for Typescript (https://loglayer.dev).

I think the issue ultimately comes down to what Ian Danskin described, paraphrased: that liberals see the faults in society as things that can be fixed, whereas conservatives see those faults as facts of life (reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yts2F44RqFw). Wouldn't you also be less happy if you viewed society's faults as fixable, where you rally, vote, and protest for them to be fixed, and yet they almost never are?

This is kind of my gut instinct, too, but I don't think it is intentional lying.

The question asked the respondent to evaluate their "mental health". This is oversimplifying, but the conservative view is often that worrying about mental health makes you 'soft', and that people complaining about their mental health are whiners who need to toughen up.

If this view is accurate, it would make sense that conservatives would not state that they have poor mental health, because they believe they should just toughen up and deal with it.

Now, whether this means that conservatives are actually more happy or not is not clear, but an alternative explanation would be that conservatives are in denial about their mental health issues, and will describe themselves as not having any, and instead cope in unhealthy ways (drinking, getting angry at minorities and immigrants, abusing their spouses/kids, etc)

Of course, the alternative alternative explanation is that conservatives are right, and liberals are just whiny naval-gazers who will complain about everything even though their lives are objectively better than previous generations.

Well nobody sent me; instead I had the strange experience of waking up this morning, seeing an interesting post about Scott Aaronson identifying as a rationalist, and when I check the discussion it's like half of HN has decided it's a good opportunity to espouse everything they dislike about this group of people.

Since when is that what we do here? If he'd written that he'd decided to become vegetarian, would we all be out here talking about how vegetarians are so annoying and one of them even spat on my hamburger one time?

And then of these uncalled-for takedowns, several -- including yours -- don't even seem to be engaging in good-faith discourse, and seem happy to pile on to attacks even when they're completely at odds with their own arguments.

I'm sorry to say it but the one who decided to use their free time to leer at people un-provoked over the internet seems to be you.

Since moving to jj[1] as a git-compatible alternative, I’ve found it so easy to make clean commits I do it by default for everything - usually 1/ refactor 2/impl, 3/ docs. Because you can always just “jj new” on top of an existing change then squash it down and get automatic rebase past that point it’s quick to keep things organised and makes review life suck less.

I addressed this in another comment, but for most trans people there is some component of both physical and social dysphoria. I have physical dysphoria to the extent that I had signs when I didn't even know what the word transgender meant. Untested of course but growing up feral on a desert island I believe I would still have physical dysphoria.

My opinion is that the root of the issue is a combination of misinformation, outrage porn, cognitive and attentional biases, scapegoating, and isolated demands of rigor.

UConn coordinated a ton of work during the past two decades on mechanistic cell models. Mostly ODEs, PDEs, and stochastic ODEs. See The Virtual Cell at https://vcell.org.

It's interesting how high-throughput perturbation assays have led to data-driven whole cell models. But these are not yet good at making robust predictions.

Probably the future are hybrid neuro-symbolic models.

> It’s also possible for things to just be too complex.

I don't think so. The original problem that the likes of Kubernetes solves is still the same: setup a heterogeneous cluster of COTS hardware and random cloud VMs to run and automatically manage the deployment of services.

The problem, if there is any, is that some people adopt Kubernetes for something Kubernetes was not designed to do. For example, do you need to deploy and run a service in multiple regions? That's not the problem that Kubernetes solves. Do you want to autoscale your services? Kubernetes might support that, but there are far easier ways to do that.

So people start to complain about Kubernetes because they end up having to use it for simple applications such as running a single service in a single region from a single cloud provider. The problem is not Kubernetes, but the decision to use Kubernetes for an application where running a single app service would do the same job.

This is a cool idea, though part of what keeps my work organized and my understanding of my own changes is to do the manual preparation of a series of logical commits.

I make use of interactive partial commits using Pycharm when a single file has changes related to different ideas and rewrite history for clarity.

It does matter to me if someone else has gone to this trouble. And it is sometimes a tip off if a person is seemingly sloppy in commit history.

It makes sense that this project exists but I’m also glad it didn’t when I was learning to work in professional environments.

GHF has ramped up to distributing about 3 million meals per day now. Reportedly 58 Gazans have starved during the conflict [1], implying an FMR of something like 0.0005. Any starvation is awful, but it's nothing compared to global averages. There are actual famines (with FMR over 2) in other parts of the world, but few people seem interested in those.

There's certainly more work to be done to fix food insecurity in Gaza, but aid distribution challenges are hardly evidence of genocidal intent.
