YJIT hopefully soon to be ZJIT. :)

Surprise they use Sorbet. I thought only Stripe were using it.

Their usage for OpenResty, so essentially Shopify operate their own Fastly?

Still dont know what is Remix.

I wonder if they use Vitess with MySQL.

Why keep memcached around when Redis could do the job as well?

The plant is happy to give nectar with sugar to pollinators. That means they are ok with being eaten. They are likely not ok with being damaged.

So go ahead and take the apple because it will drop otherwise. And take the fruits. If you want to go all out, go with a Jain diet system where carrots and mushrooms are not ok but mints and herbs are a-ok.

Ah, fair enough. I believe quite strongly that creative works' meaning exists for the reader / audience / user. I don't think interpretation of art is towards an authorial, authoritative truth - rather that it's a lens to view the world through, and change one's perspective on it - so this is where we differ. But I understand your viewpoint.

I do agree that the LLM's idea of achieving the 'best possible story' is defined entirely by its design and prompting, and that is obviously completely ridiculous - not least because appreciating (or enduring) a story is a totally subjective experience.

I do disagree that one needs to ask "to what end?" when talking about writing stories, the same way one shouldn't need to ask "to what end?" about a pencil or a paintbrush. The joy of creating should be in the creation.

Commercial software is absolutely a more nuanced, complex topic - it's so much more intertwined with people's jobs, livelihoods, aeroplanes not falling out of the sky, power grids staying on, etc. That's a different, separate question. I don't think it's fair to equate them.

I think LLMs are the most interesting paintbrush-for-words we've come up with since the typewriter (at least), and that, historically, artists who embrace new technologies that arise in their forms are usually proven to be correct in their embrace of them.

About me: Hi I'm Giorgi. I am a frontend web developer with up to 4 years of professional experience. I've been freelancing as well as working with a team (US based digital agency) in past years, so I'm comfortable working individually and in team environment. Most of my career I've been working in Wordpress development (been also workin on NextJS projects past two years). I'm open to similar opportunities but would be even more excited for a change (app development - React/NextJS). I adapt quickly and most importantly work hard. Outside of work I love working out and spending time with my friends :) PS: Past year I've gained a lots of knowledge in web accessibility and have been leading the way in this area for a team that I work with currently. It is something that I constantly improve in and enjoy

The third option is proportionate response, which the administration danced right over. Why? Why roll in the federal forces when the governor says it's not needed? They didn't show up to protect those shops or Waymo cars anyway, so that's irrelevant; as per the Secretary of Defense's own testimony today (https://youtu.be/10itk-W8DV4?feature=shared&t=128), they were dispatched to protect law enforcement attempting to enforce immigration law against a city that does not want their citizens kidnapped off the street by an unaccountable government.

Violence happened, but not to any scale that makes a military deployment on American soil in peacetime make sense.

Does this look like a riot justifying soldiers to you? https://kolektiva.social/@jonahgibberish/114663170166350434

> This is no different from control system theory.

Rolling out the Marines is turning the `I` knob, not the `D` knob. It's teaching protestors "if you're gonna show up, come armed to deal with soldiers." Incredibly dangerous in a country where that firepower is in so many private hands.

I don't know when we became a nation so cowardly that we have to point military firepower at our own citizens. When strangers are turning out into the streets to thwart federal enforcement, maybe the problem is the law not the criminals?

You can ask it "why", and it gives a probable English string that could reasonably explain why, had a developer written that code, they made certain choices; but there's no causal link between that and the actual code generation process that was previously used, is there? As a corollary, if Model A generates code, Model A is no better able to explain it than Model B.

Of the many things people have accused me of, being uninformed about GitHub Actions best practices is new.

(CODEOWNERS is a red herring: GitHub clearly intends for this policy mechanism to be used, and so it should be sound. Policy mechanisms should always be sound, even if there's a better or more general alternative mechanism. If GitHub intends CODEOWNERS to be that mechanism, then they should remove this one and document its replacement.)

Feh, more music about middle class white boy pain. I like his older stuff, but producers with computers fix all his shitty tracks these days.

Seriously though, it's often fraught with peril to try to compare two artists directly, especially across time, styles, and genres. For me, I just try to weigh how much enjoyment their respective catalogs have given me, and I've enjoyed the hell out of both Ben Folds and Beach Boys records. It's all good.

>DRM for the little guy

The main problem with this is that some of us who buy indie games specifically buy them because they are available on DRM free platforms like Itch.io and GoG.

Adding DRM is just going to stop me from ever wanting to purchase the game. Its the same problem with Steam sucking up indie devs who started to only release on Steam. Will never purchase their game on a platform where I can't keep my own offline backup for when the service eventually fails.

I didn't say generalisation, because there isnt any. Inductive learning does not generalise, it interpolates -- if the region of your future prediction (here, prompt competition) lies on or close to the interpolated region, then the system is useful.

Generalisation is the opposite process, hypothecating a universal and finding counter-examples to constrain the universal generalisaton. Eg., "all fire burns" is hypotheticated by a competent animal upon encountering fire once.

Inductive "learners" take the opposite approach: fire burns in "all these cases", and if you have a case similar to those, then fire will burn you.

They can look the same within the region of interpolation, but look very different when you leave it: all of these systems fall over quickly when more than a handful of semantic constraints are imposed. This number is a measure of the distance from the interpolated boundary (e.g., consider this interpretation of apple's latest paper on reasoning in LLMs: the "environment complexity" is nothing other than a measure of interpolation-dissimilarity).

Early modern philosophers of science were very confused by this, but it's in Aristotle plain-as-day, and it's also extremely well establish since the 80s as the development of formal computational stats necessitated making this clear: interpolation is not generalisation. The former does not get you robustness to irrelevant permuation (ie., generalisation); it does not permit considering counterfactual scenarios (ie., generalisation); it does not give you a semantics/theory of the data generating process (ie., generalisation, ie. a world model).

Interpolation is a model of the data. Generalisation requires a model of the data generating process, the former does not give you the latter, though it can appear to under strong experimental assumptions of known causal models.

Here LLMs model the structure of language-as-symbolic-ordering, that structure "in the interpolated region" expresses reasoning, but it isnt a model of reasoning. It's a model of reasoning as captured in historical cases of it.

> Snapshots are proudly hosted on Cloudflare R2, a storage service optimized for fast, global scalable access to large datasets.

Little curious to hear how this goes for everyone. R2's promise of infinite egress feels huge. But there's some grumbles in HN threads here & there that folks tend to get forced into more expensive contracts after they actually start using R2. Folks downloading ~90GB data sets daily sounds… taxing.

It sounds like OSM themselves offer diffs? I assume there's something about the format of the diffs, something to do with indexing, that makes full daily refreshes compelling? I don't quite understand the excitement for this release; I'm not well versed here & it feels like I'm missing some key technical reasons why this would be popular.

Is the suggestion here to build more subways/rails? The problem is that more rails would not be useful because there is lower density in the US. Denmark is 141 persons/km^2, whereas the U.S. is about 36 person(census data).

Even if you built train lines everywhere outside urban areas, any stop you step off at would still require a 20 minute drive to get to where you are going.
by joeguilmette | 2025-06-11 18:27:33+00:00
I travel a lot. A lot. My humble suggestion would be to build this for you and not try at all to even try to get others to use it.

If you’re going for PMF and traction… It needs to have all sorts of Nikita Bier onboarding juice, remove all barriers and friction for not only the person setting this up but most importantly their companions. Time to first usefulness is currently minutes. It needs to be seconds. And then layers of social sharing work so that the content this app generates is stuff that will be easily shareable on Instagram. And then layers of contact adding stuff for vitality.

Then your next problem is people don’t go on trips that often, so at best your users can only use it in spurts a few times a year.

And your reward for all of that is then figuring out how to get money out of these users. Ads?

None of that should be bad news. It’s good news. The hard truth is this is not a marketable piece of software. It’s a classic tarpit.

You’ve clearly built something that YOU love and are passionate about. That’s awesome. Keep building it, and get that little burst of dopamine when you add a feature that you love that is perfectly designed for exactly 1 user, the only one who matters.

And then when a profitable idea pops into your head you know what it will take to bring it to life. And if it’s a truly great idea, one that helps your users make money, it wont need any of the soul crushing growth hacks described above, people will beg you to use it and put up with all manner of warts and bugs because it helps them make money.

>those that gave the orders

That's part of the crime. Of course, the one who gave the order must bear responsibility. It's just that if the subordinate also bears full responsibility, there is a high probability that there will be no order to commit a crime, because everyone will expect that there will be no criminal ready to commit the crime.

>what does everybody ( in the commpany ) think would have happened if he did find out?

Why is this important? A crime has been committed. The people who committed it must be held accountable. The lack of responsibility of the direct criminals allows for the existence of a system where the commission of crimes is not punished, employees cover up each other's crimes, and those who refuse to commit them are fired. Not the other way around.

>It's easy to frame laws to make it the leaders responsibility

Where are the examples?

>it's their job to know

Yes, and this is exactly the substitution that occurs: instead of responsibility for a real crime, there is responsibility for a poorly performed job. A great system for a leader to use to get his subordinates to commit crimes for his own benefit.

>if people did it because of fear of losing their jobs

Then they should bear more serious responsibility than those who committed the same crime for personal profit.

Because this is already organized crime, more dangerous for society and more protected from law enforcement agencies. Therefore, the direct perpetrator of the crime, the one who gave the order to commit the crime and those who tried to cover up the criminals - should be considered an organized criminal group, with all the consequences.

And Zuc, if he did not order the crimes to be committed - it would be great for him to get a brand new mega-yacht. So that the next time he starts winking strangely or giving out KPIs that are easiest to achieve by committing crimes - people would think with their own heads, and not start engaging in organized criminal activities.

I think if we elected people for their general track record of good deeds, then Dolly would win and be a good candidate, but I also think what we need is someone to come in and be a total jerk to the total jerks that are ruining the world for everyone else right now, someone who would ruthlessly focus on making the world as decent as it can be for as many people as possible even if it inconveniences a handful of people.

When you ask Dia to find you a coat, the assistant might activate a shopping skill, which knows all the stuff you’ve been looking at from Amazon and Anthropologie; when you ask it to draft an email, a writing skill can see both all the emails you’ve written and the authors you love reading.

I am quite cpapable of doing all those things without any help.

shopping skill. Maybe you can do an apprenticeship or a masters degree for that.

draft an email. hopefully my school taught me how to wead and rite properly.

I dont want anything snooping on my browsing habits and private emails so that it can make money from me.

Will I use it? I think not!

will I find it useful. absolutely not!

I feel like swearing when I read this utter BS.

>its people have the freedom to choose personal transportation.

A lot of American choice is an illusion. The national expressway network was created to serve national security purposes. Beloved trolley systems in medium density cities were unceremoniously ripped out. Car and tire companies pushed the bus-ification of public transport in order to kill any notion that it should offer comfort and reliability.

The American government refuses to invest in density because its sees sprawl as a deterrant against nuclear threat. (A threat that it takes an active role in escalating, mind you.)

>It’s because Americans, even poor Americans, overwhelmingly choose personal transportation.

If you take notice, much of the most expensive and valuable property in this country is in dense regions where it is possible to live without a car. If Americans truly had a choice, they'd pick the kinds of walkable communities they can only experience now on university campuses and in theme parks.

Also some fair dining. Local Goat, The Trout House, the apple orchards for sweets. it makes for a nice weekend / week getaway. clingmans dome (Now called Kuwohi Observation Tower) is a not so strenuous hike with 360 degree views.

> I still believe that if Dolly ran for President, she would win. She's probably one of the most liked people in the country, percentage wise. I've actually asked quite a few random people what they think of her and I've never met someone that had anything bad to say.

All that would change the moment she decided to run (or maybe she could delay it until she got elected). The reason she maintains her popularity is that she generally stays out of politically divisive issues and that the media doesn't demonize her if she does dabble into one.

I put in my height of 6'0" and this is the advice I received:

> Chair height: 18 - 19.5 in > Your thighs and feet should be parallel to the floor (thighs and lower legs forming 90°-110° angle). > Desk height: 27.5 - 30.5 in > Your elbows and forearms should lie straight on the table. Make sure there is a 90°-110° angle at the elbow.

I'd love to see the math on how this works out. Pretty sure this is humanly impossible unless my upper arm happened to be about 9 inches long.

I believe you about your intent, but intent doesn't communicate itself—particularly not in tiny textblobs where tone of voice, body language, and so on, aren't available. Intent has to be supplied along with your message in a way that people can perceive, and the burden is on you (i.e. the commenter) to disambiguate it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

People's posts often generate effects that they didn't have in mind when they were posting. For the health of an internet forum, effects (which are observable) matter more than intent (which is not). https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

The language you used in the last sentence of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44225270 was so garish, violent, and personal that it counts as aggressive, whether you were feeling aggressive or not when you posted it. That was way beyond just "speaking directly".

It's common (in fact we all do it) to underestimate the provocation level in one's own posts and overestimate it in others'. That leads to quite a skew in perception. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

(Btw, I apologize for linking so much to lists of my own past comments. It's annoying and embarrassing. But it's the only efficient way I know of to provide additional explanation, and additional explanation is often necessary.)

Hardware is becoming more accessible, so more software companies are going to release hardware products or build hardware products for internal purposes. The future of physical world innovation isn't going to come from legacy hardware corpos, but from software companies that run hardware experiments that become real hardware products. Hats off to Posthog for making it cool!

The reason hardware has sucked in the past is poor tooling. But now open-source solutions are getting pretty good, and AI is covering many knowledge gaps.

Here's the truth: it was a weird idea from our Slack – build a tamagotchi! – that I took too seriously. In a couple of evenings, I had a prototype working. Then everyone was so excited we just ran with it.

Our audience is developers: we make you happy, you'll love us and make us the first part of every project you do, on your own and at the workplace.

Meanwhile, man, hardware is just so much fun. But most folks have no idea how much easier it is to build now. Basically, if you can use open source software, you already know how to hack on microcontroller.

So this foray into developer toys is about helping you have fun with something that maybe you wouldn't have played with otherwise.

But you can also display real-time PostHog data on it, out of the box. Which means you can expense it. A merch win-win.

> It’s not because American government doesn’t invest in public transit. It’s because Americans, even poor Americans, overwhelmingly choose personal transportation.

If there is no usable public transit then people have to use cars. But if they have cars then there isn't the will for the public transit. A vicious circle.

Public transit does need to be built somewhat on a "if you build it they will come" philosophy, which is hard when people want immediate returns on investment.

> What direction would that be?

Providing people with options on how/when they leave this world and making suicide less taboo. You could say most technically have this option already but I think it's more humane if we provide reliable methods to do so via medical professionals. Leaving it up to individuals can be messy and violent.

On the cultural side, I guess I'd like to see less sanctioning of suicide so that we don't make people's lives more complicated for merely expressing their desire to do so (e.g. getting the police called and being held for days)

All of that to say that death is sad regardless of what time you leave and I'm not advocating for people to do it. Just that we should have the option like any other healthcare service with guardrails of course.

Nashville really sucks when it comes to public transit in general. The reason ridership is so low is because it doesn't go where you need it to and it takes way way longer to get to the places it does go. Also traffic is very bad and always getting worse everytime I come back. It's pathetic and it deserves all the flak it gets and then some.
