Congrats on the announcement Superblocks team.
I am the cofounder of Budibase - an open source alternative to Superblocks.

For us, as developers, it was critical that this type of tool had to be open source - like the other tools we used and came to love and rely on.

Credit for building the platform. Observability is a great idea and something I've not seen before in low code platforms.

For reference, to the wider community, if you are interested in an open source alternative, here's a link to the Budibase github:

Budibase Github Repo: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Appsmith is another open source alternative.

Exactly, the benefits are fairly marginal. Its a bit like those foldout truck tails, they do have a marginal benefit but they cause truckers enough pain that many avoid them.

That's why you ship your drugs with the USPS. But this is more like mailing a check for drugs.
Re: the age of "That's what she said":

I thumbed through The Frogs (Aristophanes) at a used book store once. This play was written circa 400 BC. In the prologue, one character is offering to entertain the audience with a few jokes, and another character says, "Yes, but not 'That's what she said.'" The joke was too over-used.

I was astounded to think that the joke was that old! But it's actually not. The old jokes of ancient Athenians were a little too obscure, I guess, so the translator picked a modern example. Still, that translation of The Frogs is from the 1950s, so the joke was old at least that far back. (Here is the translation: https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.65406/2015.6540...)

Can anyone clarify the differences between Trino and SparkSQL? Our company has used SparkSQL to aggressively replace use-cases that were based on PrestoSQL in the past.
I initially wanted to answer that a lot of the non tech people in my network complain about bureaucracy and crap in their jobs. Busy work, regulations, Bullshit politics, inhumane work expectations and customers from hell.

But I have to admit I can't parse your comment and create coherent meaning from it.

So I don't know if I would agree or disagree with you.

Neither, here's why:

The article says that "shoe fairness" isn't possible, but of course it is. Nike can sponsor the Olympics and kit out all athletes in the same gear. Easy. The only reason we have shoe UNfairness is because we are in a bizarre dystopia where companies like Nike are allowed to offer gear to select athletes only.
hey do you work for the company. Prbly add a disclaimer.
> eating <culturally preferred food> when sick to get better faster.

Some of these are more than just tradition. I'm familiar with having different kinds of soups or maybe eating spicy things. Having soup increases your liquid intake which generally helps your body process stuff (you could of course just drink lots of water, but that's not very culturally significant), spicy things can increase sinus drainage which is helpful too.
It's like 95% art, which is why we got horrendous valuations like with Bolt. https://valuations.fyi/company/bolt-financial

$40M revenue, $11B valuation. What were they thinking!?
Yes, I read a bit on this (apparently real after all) business and I saw CO2 is the carbon source. It just confused me the promotional website does not even mention CO2. When they called Solein carbon neutral, I assumed they are talking about the product and process, not the entire cycle (in the same way you might call planting trees CO2-emission negative), though this makes sense. In any case, I still find it to be a pretty strong misrepresentation to call this protein synthesis out of "thin air".
It's not that the behavior was defined by the C standard, but that you could confidently predict what a given compiler would generate, for a given platform, so it was quite normal to write programs which made productive use of officially-undefined behavior when that was the behavior you wanted. (It may well have been defined by that particular compiler's documentation.)

Nowadays, people are used to thinking entirely inside the abstraction provided by the language spec, but that was not the case in the '80s and early '90s. The boundary between the C language model and the underlying machine architecture was porous. You would include snippets of assembly language in your C code, if you wanted to do something more quickly than you thought the compiler could do it; and your C code would take full advantage of your knowledge about the underlying memory layouts, calling conventions, register usage, and so forth.

It did not really matter that there were gaps in the "C machine" abstraction because nobody was really programming against the "C machine"; they were programming against their actual hardware, using C as a tool for generating machine code.
Note that Our agent (which is what executes code) is on GitHub here and source available: https://github.com/superblocksteam/agent

Our approach is somewhat akin to say Datadog where they have an agent that you run, but the UI is hosted.

The approach we took was to give customers a) ability to keep data in their VPC, b) security teams can audit anything running in their network, c) anything non-sensitive doesn't need to be hosted by the customer to make it simpler to run/manage.

Would be curious what you think of this hybrid approach and if there are further design decisions we could make that could be useful for us to incorporate?

It definitely does more than that.
Let's finally implement HTTP 402
I remember many years ago people would start building a scientific ecosystem around Go, but where are all the scientists/engineers using Go now? Eventually people would also realize that Rust is just a bad language choice for building some things, like making games, scientific computing, etc. I expect all this effort to become abandoned. Not everyone wants to invest learning hard to explain memory management concepts and especially engineers are just not interested. For them programming is a tool, not something to be sucked in. I believe Nim on the other hand is a much more realistic choice, with a vibrant scientific community and many fast, high quality and easy to use libraries.
Kind of, yes and no? I have many (probably too many) repos, and while none of them are explicitly open-source, I've never really cared if anyone wanted to fork or contribute to any of my projects. That said, I also know myself well enough to know I will abandon most of my personal projects, so I don't really advertise or market them unless they come close to fruition first, so... shrug
nobody gives a shit about the ethics it's about the law

FWIW Godot has had multiplayer support for a while. Albeit without some of the elements you include built in.

You can consider that ClickHouse allows both to query a lot of supported external data sources(s3/hdfs/mysql/postgre/...) and to store data in pretty efficient columnar way with compression, indexes and all the bells and whistles. Native storage allows to use all the information about keys/indices to build query plan faster.
With trino you can't store data inside trino. You can't even insert data using trino which allows you to solve scenarios like 'readonly analytics'. Trino allows you to use single query language for all the supported systems. So if you have a zoo of DBMS and object storages that you can just query it can help you to hide this complexity.

IQ is something very narrow. The fact that you can do some symbolic inference on paper does not mean that you will be more successful in life

From my school mates I have seen many of them who had on paper low IQ to have great careers as entrepreneurs, salesmen, athletes, craftsmen. I have also cases with top students who did not go anywhere.

So I am not sure whether an average increase of IQ would help the society.

Literacy for sure helps, but I am not convinced about IQ.
Are you suggesting, then, that the answer is C? I would hypothesize A is more likely, even assuming intelligence is genetic. Thus, my only point was there's a confounding variable if we try to use the relative tested levels of intelligence between parents an children as a basis to say whether intelligence is genetic. That's not to say there aren't potentially ways around that by designing studies carefully.
I think George Monbiot recently ate a pancake made from this stuff https://twitter.com/Solar_Foods/status/1520023732122750976
Is this true? C is defined in terms of the operations that can be performed on objects in memory, which includes the concept of memory addresses and address manipulation; but I'm not aware of anything that would require that objects that do not have their address taken have unique addresses, or addresses at all. This is the same use of the as-if principle that allows so many local variables to live their entire life in registers. An infinite stack to support unlimited recursion seems possible within the C machine.
Oftentimes proofs start out very complex but become simpler as time goes on and more people understand it and connect it to other existing ideas.

It is akin to refactoring a codebase after it started as a spaghetti code behemoth.
One of the things Perl got right was insisting that the POD start with a minimal working code example that you can build off of.
The client being able to opt itself in to the beta? That's what I'm talking about, not routing anyone's domain - that shouldn't have been allowed in production, beta or not, agreed, and clearly so does CF.

But client managing to opt itself in to a beta, as my GP comment was about, is no big deal. Worst case you're getting something free that you're supposed to pay for.

Beta security shouldn't be worse than the rest of prod, private beta members shouldn't be trusted more than non-members; so if the odd non-member finds a way in it's fine.
There is a price to all of this.

GitHub can afford, the Unlimited Action minutes, unlimited project storage, and many other things because its owned by Microsoft, and they are playing the long game.

After Copilot and the absoulte disregard for any question about software license compliance, Its clear now what their goals are, and that's why the #giveupgithub campaign from the SFconservancy was started.

Ask HN: Any open source text editors with word tagging?
I am looking for a text editor where users can tag words with meta data.

I want these tags to be programmable/exportable so that when we process the document, I can process based on custom rules.

Note that sizeof is useful on the inner dimensions of multi-dimensional array arguments: the following prints the value of m.

int foo(int n, int m, double x[n][m]) {
printf("sizeof(x[0])=%zd\n", sizeof(x[0])/sizeof(double));
}

I'll take the other side of that bet. We've one upped nature on hundreds of things, eventually we will be able to improve on nature in every respect.
Sure it does. The competition is growing soybeans, which are really cheap. Are they going to beat that?

Most of the high-tech food schemes produce some high-value product. This produces a very low value product. It's Hamburger Helper. Cost dominates.
I don't like the way you are talking to me, and I especially don't like that you may not have read carefully enough to understand that parts may be agreeing with you.

> a glorified daycare with rote-learning for line-workers, of which we somehow expect intelligence gains if only we could spend more time instilling it

Drilling tons of math in rigorous ways for excessive amounts of time clearly improves various kinds of outcome measures. It also tends to cause other harms.

If we want to improve intelligence, first we need to agree what intelligence is. Then we can talk about what measures are appropriate or ethical to use to try and improve it.

Even if we just take a somewhat stupid measure, and say "all we care about is a hybrid of IQ and SAT-I scores at age 16"-- there's still the question of whether we care more about moving the top performance upwards or the entire distribution.

If we don't agree what intelligence is, we can't answer questions like this. If we use a traditional measure like IQ as a measure of G factor-- I don't think brain-computer interfaces are going to swing things much and they may even make it worse. (But they could also allow explosions in human productivity or quality of life that are not measured on that scale).

e.g. Smartphones have not made us smarter, but they may sometimes allow us to do smarter and better things.
I can chime in in an okayish useful manner.

Apart from implementation details, probably not much different. It is similar to mysql vs postgresql. You are probably okay with either.
The proposal as I read it was to ban private jets, not to ban luxury-cabin private jets.

These parts are being flown on old, ugly Lear jets right now. Those are private jets.
3-5 years at best? Depreciation on the battery over that lifetime is a meaningful issue, tbh.
The very next sentence says as much.
There is DALLE and Inception from other groups (openai and google ) . Also Big Bird and Bert. It’s basically okay as long as anyone would find an issue or involve lawyers at least for Deep Learning researchers .
Stolen! Currently torturing my friends and co-workers with it :-D
The author goes on to point out that that's exactly what the joke there is supposed to be—Scott making a mess of attempts to deploy a tired joke is the joke.

A poster in these very comments admitted to having believed that the joke originated with The Office. I suppose the author's "citation" is that they've personally witnessed this enough times to make an educated guess that it's a fairly widespread belief.
Energy budget of brain compared to rest of the body is already very substantial I wonder if we would face some issues if it was higher. Like maybe overheating.

Yes, plus you should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting. You make a mockery of the legal immigrants who have to painfully deal with the official system.
People answered you yes on all counts, and I agree. It's the law and if we want it to be different then we need to change it. Why complicate it anymore than that. Instead, this is us using extra legal and potentially illegal means to enact what we argue is change but is just propagating more chaos and unfairness all around.

Of course, there are always exceptions. 25% of a major demographic is not one, though. I know that young people and those working in tech are totally over voice calls, but outside of our bubble, people still use telephones as telephones.

Wind is the most efficient renewable, followed by geothermal, hydro, and then solar. Solar is nice in extremely sunny places but otherwise it's more of a back-up.
>Bullshit is far more insidious than a lie, for bullshit can (and often does) turn out to be coincident with the truth. When that happens the bullshitter goes undetected and is free to infect our understanding with more bullshit made up on the spot.

If the bullshit is turning out to be true, what's the issue with more of it? If it's not true but still believed and so causing problems, what's the practical difference between it and an undetected lie that makes it more insidious?
Lazarus (LCL actually) is a very big framework that sits on top of a toolkit (Gtk), it is already way far removed from Xlib or Win32 (and is certainly heavier than what it could be :-P).

I'm not sure what you mean with "oldschool", if anything working with something like Qt or Gtk directly where you either specify the UI by manually creating widgets/objects or by using a separate UI editing program (that often only has a fraction of Lazarus' features) that only edits an approximation of the UI and stores it in what are essentially resource files (not very dissimilar in concept to the Win16 resource editing tool) is a bit more old-school in my mind (Lazarus on the other hand edits live objects that are serialized to/from disk, which incidentally is kinda similar to how -e.g.- a modern game engine like Unreal works... though Unreal's UI toolkit is worse than any of Qt/Gtk/etc combined :-/).

The Python lib most likely needs more optimization, but my point was that a TUI program can still be more heavyweight than a GUI one (the original question about why rendering a GUI in a terminal after all).

I'd agree if you only referenced Electron, but you also referenced other GUIs :-P.
I kinda depends if they can agree on what needs to be done I suppose, just like in the real world. But TBH it sounds like it would quickly devolve into NIH, a bit like a team with too many seniors.
The biggest value for corporate users is that they get everything already included as part of their existing cloud agreement.

Adding a new vendor to the mix needs to involve procurement, the legal team, vendor negotiations, while using a new AWS feature is just a matter of using it, even if it's not as good as the original ISV's version and doesn't support the long term viability of the project.
I believe that recent crackdowns are worse for people in the long run. Lets assume that most sexually active people look at porn now and then, which I think is a safe assumption, and that teens learn about sex from watching porn.

These changes and age verification requirements have eliminated all the normal amateur sex scenes between regular consenting adults (On RedTube for example) and left the age-verified professional porn, which depicts unrealistic sex between adults who don't give a sh*t about each other, but have perfect bodies and big parts. Instead of showing wholesome normal sex, now all we get is porn shop slut/stud sex
Depends on who and how rich:

Consciousness is very much adaptive, though it requires a sense of the metaphysical / transcendent to behave in that way. Theologically speaking, God brings Life and the Devil brings Death. Sadly, our modern brave new world has taken "Gott ist Tot" as a triumphalist proclamation, and not the lamentation it was meant to be.
Perhaps the movie/book Limitless was ahead of its time. I do believe that there is much more potential in the human brain than we use currently.
Maybe 5% at best? Probably less, given that there's always some time spent at lower speeds too.
>Lighten up on the philosophy of a topic before you understand it

But philosophy is an activity that must necessarily be done in order for there to even be a topic that can at all be understood in the first place! We had to have someone like Descartes before we could get someone like Newton, and Newton before the quantum theorists, etc.

The idea that you can just jump straight to (and always stay within the framework of) "hard science" and do away with the malleable philosophical bits that allow for the kind of connective tissue that binds civlizations is perhaps the biggest reason why we collectively face the existential crises that we currently do.

And the other idea that everyone (or at least everyone who has jumped through the hoops to get the necessary credentials) can simply sit fat and happy in their own arcane specialties as long as they are able to "prove" their worth to the rest of us by patting each other on the back with their circles of academic citations is... well... not very sustainable. All academic disciplines, to the extent that they cannot remain "rooted" within some larger framework of philosophical sensibility will necessarily get weeded in due time.
Dropping a customer is not law enforcement. There are other credit card payment processors. This really only affects companies who purchase ads on PornHub. Those companies are usually very shady, run by people like Andrew Tate
Excellent, didn't know that you could reference previous function arguments :)

Though I do feel that this is something different from VLAs (no critique of the article though!). In my head at least the key factor about VLA is that you can allocate an array on the stack when the size isn't known at compile time. But that is not what the author does.

A VLA as specified in a function definition or a declaration (such as: void f(int n, float v[n]);) is known at compile time. And even if trickery is used to do a runtime-calculation of [n] the array itself is not allocated on the stack. And thus also not subject of the common criticism of VLAs.

So, at least in my opinion the arguments (discussed in this threadl) regarding VLAs is mostly orthogonal to the syntax (ab)used here.
