Keep in mind there are events, they are real. Words are just symbols we use to make the thoughts or the events cohere as memories, but they're artifacts that have no direct connection to the thoughts. Nor do any tokens, symbols, codes, etc. These are bottlenecks. They have no analog, they lack specificity. Creativity is the ecological exchange between body and ecology to make records that engage paradox wordlessly.

That's what the article's big reveal is about. The events (which can be externalized creatively) are not really creative as words. That's a big problem for the species in general. That's a glass ceiling no one is recognizing or taking notice of. And that sort of gives you an idea how poetry and code are trapped behind it.

If you need to use heating in a cold climate, you could use your stored energy to heat the radiator of a heat pump, which would then be drastically more efficient than using normal air on the radiator.

There's a video of people doing this on YouTube. They use the ground as their heat source. https://youtu.be/s-41UF02vrU

Amazing model! I'm trying to get it to run on an ec2 machine right now, but it looks like a lot of the performance actually depends on more than just classical LLM inference. And it looks like Deepseek didn't share their scripts to do the parallel thinking traces and self-verification loops. Is anybody else working on recreating this right now?

For P2P multiplayer with Svelte/SolidJS, SyncKit might not be your best fit because:

- It's client-server (not P2P)

- No Svelte adapters yet (coming in v0.2.0)

- Multiplayer games usually need P2P for lower latency

Better options for your use case:

- Jazz (jazz.tools) - Purpose-built for P2P collaborative apps

- TinyBase - Perfect signal model for Svelte/Solid, but you'd add your own sync

- Yjs - Mature CRDT with good P2P support

- RxDB - Heavier but has everything (queries, reactive, plugins)

If you went client-server instead of P2P, SyncKit would work once v0.2.0 adds Svelte support.

What's your preference? P2P or client-server? That'll determine the best fit.

This is simply not true. Bird flu mainly spreads among wild birds and that is where it has its reservoir. It would still exist even if the world was free of bird farms. It also usually doesn't spread between farms because, in the event of an outbreak, all the animals on the affected farm are culled. At most, bird farms slightly increase overall contact between birds and humans.

"Process-oriented" verification has been a thing for a while in mathematical reasoning CoT. Google had a paper about it last year [1]. The key term to look for is "Process-reward model." I particularly like RL Tango [2].

We are still bound to our primal instincts. If you cut the throat of a baby in the middle of Times Square, the outrage will be insane. Yet, lack of financing to hospitals can do that many times over but people are numb to it.

Take the Jaguar hack, the economic loss is estimated at 2.5bn. Given an average house price in the UK of $300k, that’s like destroying ~8.000 homes.

Do you think the public and international response will be the same if Russia or China leveled a small neighborhood even with no human casualties?

After the protests in 2019 many people left for the UK and we have a shortage of unskilled labor - from bus drivers to construction workers. We have lots of school closures, a population decrease and immigrants are traditionally higher skilled (needed a master degree + 20k HKD minimum salary myself to be allowed in).

So, recently (to your question), we had to import labor from the mainland rather urgently, without maybe checking too much who these people are. There's also a huge property downturn since everyone sold their flats to live large in England, so the amount landlords are ready to pay for renovation decreased a lot. It's possible these factors explain together why they had a crap contractor and the contractor had crap labor ?

We'll see in the coming days how many such renovation sites are affected by subpar fire proofing since now everyone is whining about their own building and the government is auditing everyone, and see if it's a wide spread issue or just by "chance" that this building was the only one potentially affected.

I wonder if it's because social media started out as connecting with people you know, and maybe their friends, so you can maintain/expand your social circle, or join new ones? But now it's an algorithmic feed(they're all feeds) designed to maximize engagement with the app, and socializing is a distant 2nd(or 10th) priority for the app makers?

I read HN & Reddit, but the only "social" media I still use regularly are group chats with <10 people in them.

Nobody has covered up uBiome: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

And it's always been HN moderation policy that we intervene less on negative stories about YC or YC-backed companies than other stories: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Even if we didn't have that policy, “suppressing” a story on HN doesn't keep it out of the news, so it would be futile to do that.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46066132 and marked it off topic, because it's never ok to be a jerk about deceased people.

It has a single writer transaction mutex, yes. But it's a process-shared mutex, so it will serialize write transactions across an arbitrary number of processes. And of course, read transactions are completely lockfree/waitfree across arbitrarily many processes.

As for working set size, that is always merely the height of the B+tree. Scans won't change that. It will always be far more efficient than any other DB under the same conditions.

In less than a page, they call it feudalism, fascism, and capital(ism) / corporate rule. Mussolini in his manifesto explicitly defined the 2nd in opposition to the 3rd among other things, and even Marx considered the 1st and the 3rd to be very distinct. Of course the 1st and the 2nd are also quite different.

So which one is it? Oh wait, it's a modern progressive, "calling everything I don't like every bad name I remember from high school history"! Are they also nativist globalists and authoritarian libertarians? I bet they are!

This is a good reminder that a lot of security risk comes from the tools around a product, not just the product itself. Even well-run systems can be exposed if a vendor integration has broader access than expected.

The practical takeaway is to keep reviewing what data each service actually receives and to keep permissions tight. Most companies use analytics tools, so incidents like this are a push to double-check how much they really need to see.

Gitlab's post and the linked discussion thread are both from November 24th 2025. I may be misreading the parent comment, but I'm personally thankful there isn't a Return of the Return of Shai-Hulud, as I assumed this was a third recent incident. For those concerned about these attacks, Helixguard's post (from the linked discussion) lists out the packages they found to be effected, while Gitlab's post gives more information on how the attack works. Since it's self-propagating though, assume the list of affected packages might be longer as more NPM tokens are compromised.

Thanks for sharing, it's very WiP right now. I have a few more sections written but need to format them (e.g. hiccup HTML and SQL via a lisp DSL as well as some terminal graphics stuff, working on web stuff next).

Overall, the goal's to introduce programming from 0 and make someone as productive as possible without needing to know very much. Modern hardware and hash maps obviate a lot of DS&A right now.

> but you can know 10 people who each know 10 people

Theoretically, yes, but in practice those 10 don’t really know 10 people. And if you don’t hire well and don’t have everything you need to keep them motivated, some of your 10 won’t even care about their 10 people or may actively be sabotaging you, peers, and/or their subordinates.

The rationalization is that since in your opinion it wouldn't cost them very much to give you something, that they really owe it to you and if they don't give it to you, they are actually withholding something and you are being denied something you have a right to.

We all agree, even me, that it's not the most cutomer-first policy. Except, maybe it is actually the most customer-first, because their support & security argument is not bullshit. If there are things wrong with the old version that they know about, then it is entirely valid to decide not to actively help facilitate the proliferation of old bad versions that still have their name on it out in the world. Maybe they don't have the policy for such pure and virtuous reason, or maybe they do, but it doesn't matter because it's actually perfectly valid anyway.

The fact you don't like it is purely a you problem.

This was largely the reason I rejected "real name verification" ideas at GitHub after the xz attack. (Especially if they are state sponsored) it's not that hard for a dedicated actor (which xz certainly was) to get a quality stolen identity.

The inevitable evolution of such a feature is a button on your repo saying" block all contributors from China, Russia, and N other countries". I personally think that's the antithesis of OSS and therefore couldn't find the value in such a thing.

Also, the Zig 0.16.0 preview nightly builds includes a new Io library[0]. I have not used libxev or Tigerbeetles event loop, but I believe the standard Zig implementation is likely largely influenced by those two.

The biggest problem is that if you're creating it with lasers, you're only going to get the energy out that you put in. You really want to be able to feed it matter, which would effectively make it an anything-to-gamma-radiation converter, which means you have to feed it quite a lot of matter, against the radiation pressure of all that energy coming out. The paper mentioned assumes a worst case of not being able to feed the black hole at all, but doesn't (in my skim) address the fact that this means you have to put in all the energy you'll be using for the lifetime of the black hole at the creation of it, which seems significantly more outrageously infeasible than the bare necessity of creating a black hole at all.

> Almost all players are running Nvidia other than Google.

No surprises there, Google is not the greatest company at productizing their tech for external consumption.

> The other players are certainly more than just competing with Google.

TBF, its easy to stay in the game when you're flush with cash, and for the past N-quarters, investors have been throwing money at AI companies, Nvidia's margins have greatly benefited from this largesse. There will be blood on the floor once investors start demanding returns to their investments.

I've only done a little prototyping with it, but io_uring addresses the same issue as DPDK, but in a totally different way. If you want high perf, you want to avoid context switches between userland and kernelland; you have DPDK which brings the NIC buffers into userland and bypasses the kernel, you have things like sendfile and kTLS which lets the kernel do most of the work and bypasses userland; and you have io_uring which lets you do the same syscalls as you're doing now, but a) in a batch format, b) also in a continuous form with a submission queue thing. I think it's easier to reach for io_uring than DPDK, but it might not get you as far as DPDK; you're still communicating between kernel and userland, but it's better than normal syscalls.

> Can you get similar performance with QUIC?

I don't know that I've seen benchmarks, but I'd be surprised if you can get similar performance with QUIC. TCP has decades of optimization that you can lean on, UDP for bulk transfer really doesn't. For a lot of applications, server performance from QUIC vs TCP+TLS isn't a big deal, because you'll spend much more server performance on computing what to send than on sending it... For static file serving, I'd be surprised if QUIC is actually competitive, but it still might not be a big deal if your server is overpowered and can hit the NIC limits with either.

While it can happen to anyone npm does preselect the users most likely to unknowingly amplify such an attack. Just today I was working on a simple JS script while disconnected from the Internet, Qwen Coder suggested I “npm install glob” which I couldn’t because there was no internet, so I asked for an alternative and sure enough the alternative solution was two lines of vanilla JS. This is just one example but it is the modus operandi of the NPM ecosystem.

A single colony would be a huge investment… it’s doubtful there would be thousands of attempts if success rate is low

And we would have to establish the reason for the colony … I’m not talking about a research base, but a place where people would settle, do useful ecomonic activity, raise families and live out most of their lives … I cannot 5hink of a reason why people would want to do 5hat anywhere but Earth.

That’s why everybody uses context to understand the exact meaning.

The context was “when would an AI agent doing something it’s not permitted to do ever not be bad”. Since we are talking about a tool and not a being capable of ethical evaluation, reasoning, and therefore morally good or bad actions, the only useful meaning of “bad” or “wrong” here is as in “broken” or “malfunctioning”, not as in “unethical”. After all, you wouldn’t talk about a gun’s trigger failing as being “morally good”.
by toast0 | 2025-11-28 04:06:38+00:00
Some people would rather have an abstraction over io_uring and kqueue rather than choosing a single API that works everywhere they want to run, choosing to only run on the OS that provides the API they prefer, or writing their loop (and anything else) for all the APIs they want to support.

But I agree with you; I'd rather use the thing without excess abstraction, and the standard apis work well enough for most applications. Some things do make sense to do the work to increase performance though.

(Op here) No deadlocks needed! There’s nothing about providing strong consistency (or even strong isolation) that requires deadlocks to be a thing. DSQL, for example, doesn’t have them*.

Event sourcing architectures can be great, but they also tend to be fairly complex (a lot of moving parts). The bigger practical problem is that they make it quite hard to offer clients ‘outside the architecture’ meaningful read-time guarantees stronger than a consistent prefix. That makes clients’ lives hard for the reasons I argue in the blog post.

I really like event-based architectures for things like observability, metering, reporting, and so on where clients can be very tolerant to seeing bounded stale data. For control planes, website backends, etc, I think strongly consistent DB architectures tend to be both simpler and offer a better customer experience.

* Ok, there’s one edge case in the cross-shard commit protocol where two committers can deadlock, which needs to be resolved by aborting one of them (the moral equivalent of WAIT-DIE). This never happens with single-shard transactions, and can’t be triggered by any SQL patterns.

It’s not reasonably affordable by any real “middle class” metric and the impact a reliable grid has on the industrial and commercial base of an economy is being undervalued by an utterly laughable degree during these discussions. Westerners and rich folks take it for granted as a fact of life at this point.

The duck curve is a rounding error when discussing energy storage.

Wind does better in the winter.

Also, wind does better at night than day, which may be related or not.

A longtime friend and I built this stats ttracking app for athletes. I have been in the startup community going on 15 years, and have worked with my buddy for over 25 years in many different startups. His son is playing Junion MLS soccer, and he has been tracking his stats from age 7 to now 17 in excel, because there hasn't been a tool that is really catered to the athlete, not the team or coaches. We built this using Supabase, Vue, Vuetify, Vercel, Typescript, Nest.js. It is free to try out, and the paid tier is for being able to upload game highlights and see detailed stats. We are in quasi-beta mode, though the app is feature rich and complete right now. If you have and kids playing a sport or you want to track your own sports accomplishments, I'd love to hear feedback from you on it. Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!!!!!!!! - Jose and Bob - bob@mystatsdiary.com

NVFP4 is the thing no one saw coming. I wasn't watching the MX process really, so I cast no judgements, but it's exactly what it sounds like, a serious compromise in resource constrained settings. And it's in the silicon pipeline.

NVFP4 is to put it mildly a masterpiece, the UTF-8 of its domain and in strikingly similar ways it is 1. general 2. robust to gross misuse 3. not optional if success and cost both matter.

It's not a gap that can be closed by a process node or an architecture tweak: it's an order of magnitude where the polynomials that were killing you on the way up are now working for you.

sm_120 (what NVIDIA's quiet repos call CTA1) consumer gear does softmax attention and projection/MLP blockscaled GEMM at a bit over a petaflop at 300W and close to two (dense) at 600W.

This changes the whole game and it's not clear anyone outside the lab even knows the new equilibrium points, it's nothing like Flash3 on Hopper, lotta stuff looks FLOPs bound, GDDR7 looks like a better deal than HBMe3. The DGX Spark is in no way deficient, it has ample memory bandwidth.

This has been in the pipe for something like five years and even if everyone else started at the beginning of the year when this was knowable, it would still be 12-18 months until tape out. And they haven't started.

Years Until Anyone Can Compete With NVIDIA is back up to the 2-5 it was 2-5 years ago.

This was supposed to be the year ROCm and the new Intel stuff became viable.

They had a plan.

Immigration is different because it needs to be addressed. For example, a tail light being out shouldn't result in jail time but it does need to result in the light being fixed.

With immigration, the issue that needs fixing is your presence in a country.

Look, I respect people who actually believe in free movement globally but most people claiming there's something wrong here don't believe in open borders.

A society is a business entity. They have some control over all houses in an area. Most societies are large. Hundreds or thousands of houses/buildings.

The administration of the society is usually done by the original developers. They decide how big the plots of land are, decide the rules houses must follow in their design. The houses themselves are built by the owners of the plots.

They society collects monthly fees typically. It is usually responsible for trash pickup. Richer societies will arrange water supply and even backup electricity plants. Larger societies create commercial areas and parks within their bounds as well.

They are not always gated as the parent states. Only the ones rich enough to hire security.

How did you reach the conclusion that the author specifically meant this part of Gregory of Nyssa's religious thinking? It could just as likely be that the author has come to realise that Gregory of Nyssa was correct in his arguments for the Christian Trinity...? I am just wondering.

Free open-source alternative:

RcloneBrowser

https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser

Speaking for myself, $9.90/year doesn't seem like good value for auto-remount on login. RcloneBrowser does everything the free RcloneView does. Meanwhile the RcloneView github is an empty repository (as at time of posting. Submitted to Wayback machine but their server is currently overloaded).

EDITED:

On RcloneBrowser Linux you can use systemd to enable auto-mount in a supported fashion.

deepseek kind of innovated on this using off-the-shelf components right ?

to quote from their paper "In order to ensure sufficient computational performance for DualPipe, we customize efficient cross-node all-to-all communication kernels (including dispatching and combining) to conserve the number of SMs dedicated to communication. The implementation of the kernels is codesigned with the MoE gating algorithm and the network topology of our cluster."

Practically, the difference in availability for typical internet connected application is very small. Partitions do happen, but in most cases its possible to route user traffic around them, given the paths that traffic tends to take into large-scale data center clusters (redundant, typically not the same paths as the cross-DC traffic). The remaining cases do exist, but are exceedingly rare in practice.

Note that I’m not saying that partitions don’t happen. They do! But in typical internet connected applications the cases where a significant proportion of clients is partitioned into the same partition as a minority of the database (i.e. the cases where AP actually improves availability) are very rare in practice.

For client devices and IoT, partitions off from the main internet are rare, and there local copies of data are a necessity.

They put the drive select stalk back after feedback, and they never had a dashboard on the 3 and Y (I have a Model 3 and it works fine without one).

Can't speak for defog or mechanical door release, I haven't noticed either, but would be shocked if they are gone as they both seem like they'd be legally required. Defog in particular would be bizarre to remove from a car, especially given it's just a mode of the A/C.
