He threatened the ex-intern by saying they have "a lot of money to pay for top lawyers" (goodness!), the incident gathered a lot of attention, got caught, and was forced to say sorry.

Replit is in the news because of the Vercel fiasco. And it's jarring because of how they've tried to take advantage of that situation.

The main challenge here is that a lot of languages have historically treated threading as an afterthought. Python is a good example where support was so limited (due to the GIL, which they are only now in the process of removing) that people mostly just didn't bother with it and just tried to orchestrate processes instead. Languages like go and javascript are really good at async stuff but that's mostly all happening on 1 core. You can of course run these with multiple cores but you have only limited control over which core does what.

Java has had threading from v1. Fun fact, it was all green threads in 1.0. Real threads that were able to use a second CPU (if you had one) did not come until 1.1. And they've now come full circle with a way to use "virtual" threads. Which technically is what they started with 30 years ago. Java also went on a journey of doing blocking IO on threads, jumping through a lot of hoops (nio) to introduce non blocking io, and lately rearchitecting the blocking io such that you can (mostly) pretend your blocking io is non blocking via virtual threads.

That's essentially what project Loom enables. Pretty impressive from a technical point of view but it's a bit of a leaky abstraction with some ugly failure modes (e.g. deadlocks if something happens to use the synchronized keyword deep down in some library). If that happens on a single real thread running a lot of virtual threads, the whole thread and all the virtual threads on it are blocked.

There are other languages on the JVM that use a bit higher level abstractions here. I'm mainly familiar with Kotlin's coroutines. But Scala went there before them of course. What I like in Kotlin's take on this is the notion of structured concurrency where jobs fork and join in a context and can be scheduled via dispatchers as a light weight co-routine, a thread pool, or a virtual thread pool (same API, that kind of was the point of Loom). So, it kind of mixes parallelism and concurrency and treats them as conceptually similar.

Structured concurrency is also on the roadmap for Java as I understand it. But a lot of mainstream languages are stuck with more low level or primitive mechanisms; or use completely different approaches for concurrency and paralellism. That's fine for experts using this for systems programming stuff but not necessarily ideal if we are all going to do multi core by default.

IMHO structured concurrency would be a good match for python as well. It's early days with the GIL removal but the threading and multiprocess modules are a bit dated/primitive. Async was added at some point in the 3.x cycle. But doing both async & threading is going to require something beyond what's there currently.

It's gonna be very interesting to see how this strategy plays out.

Apparently the Chinese are nowhere near max capacity of modern chips, and, even more critically, lack access to high end lithography machines.

So they're stuck with comparatively inefficient designs but can play on volume.

They have enough rare earth metals themselves and are constricting exports, and they have the industrial manufacturing base.

As such, on the networking layer, their engineers are gonna be focused on trying to achieve performance via distribution which, if they succeed, would be a serious undercut to the price and power premium of US chip designs I guess.
Ask HN: Build Your Own LLM?
by retube | 2025-10-10 10:18:17+00:00
The best way to really understand how something works is to build it yourself. So I am wondering if there are any good tutorials on building your own LLM from scratch. I.e. implementing tokenisation, embeddings, attention and so on. I am not suggesting one could replicate chatGPT, but more a toy model that implements the core features but based on a much smaller corpus and training data.

For centuries, India’s local and indigenous communities have lived not in conflict, but in harmony with nature. Forests aren’t “wild” to them; they are home. Animals aren’t “less evolved” or “to be saved”; they were fellow beings, even wiser ones, whose instincts shaped the rhythms of life. For ancient societies, even beyond India, Animism was a distinct way of life and existence, one that demanded respect for nature akin to God.

I also use that 3 humps website regularly but they actually don't closely track fast changing prices day-by-day for all items. Therefore, I also track price changes manually myself.

E.g. this ant insecticide was recently on sale for $15.99 during Oct 7 & 8 and yet that lower price was invisible to camelcamelcamel: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Miller-8150120-24-Ounce-Disconti...

Those blind spots happen for many items and my reverse-engineering guess is that they simply don't have the compute infrastructure to track/scrape all the millions of ASINs. Therefore, many price changes are completely missed. I'm sure they're doing the best they can but it seems like the only 100% accurate way to track price change history is for Amazon.com itself to offer it. Amazon likes to say they're "customer-oriented" and providing an official price history dashboard would help shoppers.

Ok, I guess we'll see in 20 years (you did read the "20 years" part I hope?) if my assessment is correct. It was maybe a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I don't have any doubts that Trump would like to be an "actual dictator" and is actively testing how far he can expand the limits of his power. Democracy in the US is more established than in other countries that have had authoritarian takeovers in recent years (Hungary, Turkey, Russia etc.), but we'll see if it's resilient enough.

I've always wondered what would happen with a shop that never has sales. A shop where the prices are always the same, although they may occasionally increase them due to inflation, etc.

Such a shop will not get the surge of "oh look a discount, let me buy it" consumers, but people will probably realize that this way when you need something you can buy it on the spot, and it will always have the best price no matter when.

Does a shop like this exist, or existed?

This is a pretty common model for countries which became independent of the UK; Ireland did more or less the same copy-paste job, but in the 1920s, so ended up with a _way_ weaker president than in the US model (the Irish presidency is more or less a standin for a constitutional monarch, with ~no real powers) and upper house, and stronger lower house.

Not even "for doing nothing", more like "before doing anything". He wasn't even 10 months into his presidency.

If there's one job in the world where I'd wait until someone's well out of office before judging their impact on peace, it's the US presidency.

I'm in a circle of people who lean pretty damn far left and even at the time, the only reactions I heard were "huh, what?"

> Recently I saw somebody "upgrading" a C code basis to C++ and also changing all loop variables to size_t. This caused a bug which he blamed on working on the "legacy C code" he is working on, although the original code was just fine.

I had the same experience about 10 years back when a colleague "upgrade" code from using size_t to `int`; on that platform (ATMEGA or XMEGA, not too sure now) `int` was too small, overflowed and bad stuff happened in the field.

The only takeaway is "don't needlessly change the size and sign of existing integer variables".

And let us not forget his assassination of an American citizen by drone strike for visiting the place of his fathers death, also assassinated by drone strike.

And if we want a “fun fact,” he is the only Nobel Peace winner to bomb and kill another, as commander and chief his forces bombed and killed innocents in a Doctor’s Without Borders outpost in Afghanistan. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunduz_hospital_airstrike)

Yep. I was one of those. Started with QNAP, went to Synology because their stuff was more powerful for the price (Could run Docker stuff on it and upgrade memory)

Then it stopped booting and the light just blinked -> it happened to be close to Black Friday and I had been thinking about moving to a bespoke build with Unraid for a while. Pulled the trigger and dropped some cash on the problem.

Finally I found out the issue was a bad PSU: it kinda-sorta fails, a common problem, just enough to start booting the system but it fails when all the drives start up.

Bought a 3rd party PSU from Amazon and now it's my offsite backup.

Not to mention his book, about when he found an Cuneiform tablet circa 1800BC telling the story of Noah and the flood, which included more detailed instructions on how to build an ark than the biblical accounts and so he went and built it.

> I took action as the primary on-call engineer to lock down the AWS account and prevent any actions by possible attackers.

So he suspected an attack, but did not contact his employer about it or other team members. No action taken to mitigate the attack or to identify what was going on. Just changed the AWS root account password and nothing else.

Even assuming the very best intentions, I don’t think it unreasonable that Ruby Central found that a little bit suspicious.

Yeah, I'm wondering if the Nobel Peace prize has anything to do with peace for people, or for her neoliberalism stance of protection of the free market that would usher peace for the business interests of oil companies [0].

I must confess I am no Venezuelan political expert, and it always gives me pause whether the economic siege that has been laid against Venezuela with the sanctions is about democracy, or about access to unrestricted markets (a la United Fruit Company — now Chiquita — and Standard Fruit Company — now Dole plc).

The Unified toolchain is an extremely ambitious project. when Rome announced their plan for unified toolchain, I expected it to fail as the next HN reader. and turned out to be right.

Bun is also attempting it. Thye have made tremendous progress but they are also competing against node, and thus I don't expect to for bun to go mainstream.

However, despite the difficulties, I strongly believe that Vite+ can achieve it.

I strongly recommend all readers here to watch Vite documentary[0] that got released less than a day ago for vite's history and bacground of Vite+

I think Datastar has the better approach here with making OOB the default. I suspect HTMX's non-OOB default makes more sense for very simple requirements where you simply replace the part of the DOM from which the action was triggered. But personally, situations where OOB is necessary is more typical.

Interestingly, elements sent via the HTMX websocket extension [1] do use OOB by default.

I don’t know of a shop that doesn’t have some sales at some time. Sales are just such powerful selling tools.

Factorio is a counter example. Factorio never goes on sale, which is kind of nice because when you buy it you know you couldn’t have gotten a better price, but without sales you aren’t as motivated to buy it for a lower price than usual.

This is all highly personal, so just banter'ing, but:

I agree there's no clear definition but 95% is even beyond "overwhelming majority" to me (with overwhelming being greater than vast). I'd call that "near totality".

Maybe, at least for US contexts, "vast" should line up with "filibuster-proof"? Eg 60-65%? 75% at most.

Of course, then that doesn't tell me anything about what it should mean in other contexts.
Looking for 5 B2C startups or agencies to pilot next-gen product discovery
by AdityaBuilds | 2025-10-10 10:26:41+00:00
We believe the next 5–10 years will completely transform how products are discovered. Instead of search engines, agentic AI tools will explore, evaluate, and recommend products directly to the right customers, fundamentally changing marketing, SEO, and user acquisition.

We’re building in this space, with a focus on geo-contextual discovery (where location, intent, and AI reasoning meet). We’re looking to partner with 5 forward-thinking agencies or B2C startups for an early pilot.

You’ll get early access, influence the roadmap, and help your marketing team get ahead of the coming wave, while we learn from your use cases to shape the product.

If you’re interested in experimenting at the frontier of AI-driven marketing, reach out, and we’d love to chat.

No shit. Honestly if you aren't using one of those price tracking extensions on Amazon you're doing it wrong. I use Keepa.

It's amazing how many product prices are now a square wave. Look at this for example and feel sorry for the people that paid £100.

https://keepa.com/#!product/2-B0DNG35BVM

Often they are even more predictable and switch between the high and low price every two weeks. I have no idea why. Here's an example:

https://keepa.com/#!product/2-B08W241HPW

Anyway if you browse with one of these extensions on Prime day it's very obvious how much of a lie their deals are. They're usually the lowest price that something has been available, but also usually they've been at that price before in the last few months.

Really enjoy the post, thanks for sharing.

> My goal with the early sub-projects isn't to build a *finished* sub-component, it is to build a good enough sub-component so I can move on to the next thing on the path to a demo.

This is so enlightening. And I realized that to do this, one has to "skip" something. Other folks mention they ignore code modularity when doing this, I don't think I will do that, keeping code clean and reading/working in such a codebase actually make me satisfied and motivated. For me, I am going to "skip" algorithms, data strucuture and performance.

So the point here is probably, we should skip things, but if a thing motivates you, it should not skipped?

I've become increasingly uncomfortable with these sorts of casual throwabouts of extremely complex and unique geopolitical situations though. Gandhi existed in a particular moment and context - take the same man and put him up against a different regime, and you would not get the same outcome.

It's like how people talk up peaceful protest by referencing Martin Luther King. He was a major centralizing figure for civil rights, but he did not exist in a vacuum of context either.

Unfortunately not all of us have an economical situation that allow us to sponsor Trump gifts every couple of years.

How many of those thousands of software projects that do use Rust, can be show as counter example to slow compilation times on hardware that common people usually buy and keep around?

Especially in those countries that are outside tier 1 in world economy, getting computers from whatever parts western no longer considers usable for their daily tasks.

Maybe they can afford to wait.

people are getting in very real world trouble for saying negative things about certain people or their friends.

i’m not sure if you’ve seen how many people have lost their jobs for saying truths about kurk or how many people are losing jobs, scholarships, visas, education etc for saying things about a certain regime, but it’s happening, for real. they’re actively pushing to force people to turn over their social media accounts for review.

When you take a step back it's surprising that these tools can be actually useful at all in nontrivial tasks, but being surprised doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Bamboozling rarely enough for harnesses to keep them in line and ability to inference-time self-correct when bamboozling is detected either by the model itself or by the harness is very useful at least in my work. It's a question of using the tool correctly and understanding its limitations, which is hard if you aren't willing to explore the boundaries and commit to doing it every month basically.

What I meant was: Why are you talking about Sanders polical views when the issue at hand is Framework's tonedeaf response to the OP's concerns.

Your comment about Sanders might be true (although I doubt that he would espouse the same views as articulated in DHH's blog post https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64) but it does not add anything to the discussion here, which is why I mentioned whataboutism.

EDIT: and now I re-read the post you were replying to which was indeed about political orientations and how they are viewed over time. My bad.

Still, I think this particular avenue of debate is not going to yield much progress for anybody.

Absolutely despise this part of office. It's like their misadventures into reskinning the windows control panel with each windows version.

It keeps changing, the quick access is somehow different from the explorer quick access locations, the browse button opens a dialog in a completely different location, the recent menu locations sometimes just doesn't do anything if you click on it, only uses 1/3rd of the screen on wide screens, quick access doesn't seem to be user modifiable, "Add place" doesn't let you add anything except the onedrive that is already added, the clickable buttons are sprinkled all over the place and not clearly identifiable as clickable, sometimes the header shows you paths or sometimes just the name of the current folder, Add to favorites doesn't add to quick access but rather to favorites that is somehow a submenu of recents?!?, favorite locations in excel and word are not syncd between each other, the save as dialog has slightly different buttons available depending on how you opened the dialog, some buttons do something different if you double click them vs single click. It's just raw chaos throughout.

I assume they threw their UX guy out the window and designed this in 5 committees that were prohibited from communicating with each other. It's the only explanation that makes sense
