AssemblyScript is a bit like that: https://www.assemblyscript.org/

But it goes into a slightly different direction from what you want (the main motivation was a "stripped down TS for WASM", not a "stripped down TS with go routines"). It will be interesting to see how they'll tackle multithreading (now that WASM threading is out in the wild).

your comment confuses me, I would appreciate it if you could please clarify -
you rent a 25m2 lab for 10 euro/m2, so 25eur for the whole lab? For how long is this price? Per hour, day, week, month?
Genuine question, if you're under 40 how are you not in debt?

Every essential requires debt to buy. An education, a house, a car (some would argue anyway).

> Ofc they would have to change their lifestyle if they had a 20x decrease in salary though.

Are you honestly this indifferent about humans receiving a 20x decrease in their salary in pursuit of corporate productivity gains?
I've been thinking for a few years that books are going to (re-?)become a more viable way of obtaining infomation as the internet becomes the "dark forest" (https://maggieappleton.com/ai-dark-forest) and the effort of filtering the trash outweighs the cost and time of books.
Maybe we might engineer and innovate our way back to a time before instentanious knowledge, who knows.

Also Phil's Lab, especially for PCB design specifically (though he covers schematics too, I'd say it's typically not as beginner-friendly/a faster-paced run-through so you understand what he's laying out).

Show HN: Lockval Engine – A distributed backend KV engine that can run scripts
I've been developing game backends for several years, using and designing a lot of code. They all about calculations, synchronization with front-end data, and database data, and try to ensure consistency, atomicity, and high response, etc.

However, these codes and frameworks have always had problems such as very complicated APIs, incomplete or non-existent ACID, multiple calls to RPC, and non-real-time full or semi-full data landing.

So, we created Lockval Engine. An easy-to-use, ACID, distributed, DOP, multi-language support backend engine.

Here are some online demos that will give you a quicker understanding of Lockval Engine:

I think AGPL is quite poor license choice, it does not really offer protection (ask them why they went from AGPL to SSPL) but introduces friction with compatibility and legal folks in many organizations.
This might sound weird, but I don't want to be more productive. Not unless I'm compensated for it and we all know how that goes. I don't understand the HN crowd who are excited about productivity gains... Unless you're a founder, all it means is you can make more money for someone else while simultaneously taking bread off your now-redundant co-worker's table.
They are controversial. They have a certain political slant too. Except AI but I could just not be seeing it.
I mean c'mon now, McAfee? It's pre-loaded crapware. If anything was freshly installed it's going to be a fresh copy of Dell Windows Recovery Media.

> Many third-party services were present as well, as Windows 11 had seemingly important things to say to the likes of Steam, McAfee, and Comscore ScorecardResearch.com, which is a market research effort that "studies and reports on Internet trends and behavior."
My observation about AIs so far is that they seem to lack common sense and critical thinking. They can provide you with detailed arguments to support almost any position but they are unable to resolve contradictions through pure logic; instead, they seem to rely on expert consensus as the basis from which to draw conclusions and make decisions; they don't seem to be able to analyze and synthesize all available information to arrive at a single cohesive worldview. I guess you could say the same about many people... Could it be that those people are the ones who are going to be replaced by AI?
That's what they claim, they're not a neutral party and other people who've looked at it say it's not so clear. The FAQ is non-binding, the license text itself is what matters.
True, but if you look at the entire collection of kinds of intervention you'll find that the harmful kinds are also a small fraction of them.
I am interested in the attrition rate from Big Tech to traditional tech (such as enterprise software at banks or government). This will probably be a very hard adjustment for many in terms of salary, tech stack, benefits, work hours, culture,... But I still think many will prefer it over leaving tech all together., since as you said they wouldn't have learnt any other discipline if it was their first job out of college.
> it has no way of imposing backpressure on its caller. So the client's outbox overflows. Every time

I don't see why you couldn't implement back-pressure here

and the OP article also states:

> Back-pressure (e.g. slowing down the entry-points) can easily be introduced if queues becomes too large.

The thing is LLMs can be tested and inaccuracies corrected. In a year when the ChatGPTs of the world have API access to augment their already impressive capabilities, I doubt there will be many complaints about accuracy.

I got several of their earlier kits - never got it to work even with most of the prep done by someone else, my bacteria either didn't accept the jellyfish genes or they just died :(.

It takes some skill to do even very simple stuff, but it's certainly plausible that, say, Covidlike events become a common weapon in interstate conflicts. My own hope is that a lot of individuals with access to this knowledge will have a much healthier arms race than a few big labs - most individuals are moral agents, so a few bad actors in a big group of people with mostly good intentions is less scary to me than a few big groups with no bad intentions but zero-sum game theory.
I believe the OP is implying that the interview itself is marketing. By claiming the brand brand is not driven by marketing the unstated message is that brand is successful due to quality and innovation. The interview itself is a fantastic bit of marketing if you think about it.

My only hope: People's ability to judge over synthetic content will increase and therefore the free market will correct and eventually wipe out BS-generating factories while at the same time, the value of verified human creation and trusted/old brands is going to increase. It's going to be a qualitative dip until we get there.

Like all good Ponzi schemes, they work until they don't.

The crypto exchanges have a handy benefit of being able to block withdrawals in multiple ways, including 'technical issues' or 'verification issues' etc.

Problem is at some point (I.e. when they can't print tokens out of thin air any more) they still have to convince others to put new money in and it just becomes shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic...
The primary con of academia is almost certainly having to live far from family. However, if you value autonomy, helping others, deciding on the research you want to do, and mostly being your own boss, then it is a very rewarding career. I'm much happier in academia than I was in industry.
It's also very wrong for volatile: the compiler has to handle a volatile 'type' differently than regular types: you cannot 'cache' the value in a register, memory must be updated.

Something that isn't clear to me is what "tech workers" means and what kind of "tech workers" have been laid off.

Is it backend engineers, operations, UI designers, marketing/HR/management working in tech? Is an accountant a tech worker if they use slick, modern software? Does it matter where they work or who they're working with? What is a "tech company"?
I agree with your point, but even items like an Apple Watch or iPhone have some signal, just much less than something like a Ferrari. Signal also differs based the group the person is in. I know many on HN think they are immune, but still buy the 100 core latest CPU and talk about it online for example.

Finally, LVMH may be critical of Apple in this article, but they would love to be in their position. Apple has mastered the art of selling things with Toyota volumes and Ferrari margins.

My pessimist take: What will happen is that libraries and frameworks will only require more pointless boilerplate, because writing pointless boilerplate code is the one thing that AI is really good at, and why optimize for fewer lines-of-code when an AI can spew those out in a second?

My optimist take: Absurdities like the above will lead to a brain drain of people who actually know what they're doing from Silicon Valley into more 'bullshit free areas' where they can do actually useful things.
Lots of medicine is not just historically derived from plants but actually manufactured from them - extracting and purifying an active ingredient from plant mass often is cheaper than synthesizing it chemically, so lots of widely used products from 'big pharma' effectively are herb-based.

However, this 'extracting and purifying' step is one that must be done, you don't want to give the patient the whole 'cocktail' of active substances that happen to be in the herb along with the one thing that does have the desireable effect; so skipping that step and using the herb directly often is not appropriate; sure, it can work and have some beneficial effect as it was used historically, but that's something you stop doing once you have the practical ability to do it better by properly extracting the appropriate component.
Relational databases are lovely! SQL is... clunky, but it's still a wonderful way of working with data, compared to hand-rolling imperative loops or functional transforms.

I've been thinking about this a lot in the past ~5 years. My current dream is not that we should be using SQL and RDBMS-es more in our systems, but the inverse: we should have relational database facilities built directly into our programming languages. Because when I look at the code I typically work with from a data processing angle, a lot of it is just hand-rolling small pieces of a relational database.

I'm talking small scale here. That random business object storing two maps and wrapping them in a domain-specific API? That's two tables with two columns each, possibly connected with something else by their primary keys. Or two tables you always JOIN in a specific way. Or really just one table. But instead of encoding this understanding directly, we write the lower-level implementation of it - two maps to store data (prematurely baking in an indexing strategy), and relations left implicit, smeared across the object's methods.

> Deno comes with a built in deno vendor command, which fetches all of the dependencies of the current project and puts them into a subfolder, making production deployments immune to dependencies’ hosting failures.

While this is certainly nice, should third-party code be actually committed in your version control system? I always treated it like a bad idea. Adding node_modules to gitignore is second nature now.
Exactly. And when one side needs the other, it makes magic happen.
I'm in the same situation. Did a bunch of stuff with (legal, not cheap) EAGLE in the past. But for my next projects (whenever they come around) I'm planning on KiCad because it's so much more mature now.
I think there is a bit of a contradiction in this logic. Why would redistributing 'skills' that lead other companies to lose cash at an astronomical scale help other companies improve? If their product and innovation was truly transformative perhaps the tech industry wouldn't be in the state it is in as sustainable business.
I read this as 250eur/month for a 25 m2 space.

My physics is a bit rusty. Would that help? There is a rock with huge amounts of kinetic energy and you hit it with a bunker buster, then what? You've then got the same amount of mass (mass being conserved) and the same amount of energy (energy being conserved) on more or less the same trajectory.

I'm not sure that counts as shooting it down. In the context of a celestial object usually "shoot it down" means "deflect it so it misses earth".

Homegrown isn't necessarily cheaper at the bottom end of the scale: Grafana Cloud includes 100GB/month of logs (a few million records a day, depending on your average log size) at $29/mo [1]. You also get 20k Prometheus metrics at that price.

The price scaling of hosted solutions is less attractive, e.g. in this case a 10x increase in log volume translates to a ~20x increase in cost.

That's a total strawman. Errno has nothing to do with signal handling at all. While errno is archaic, it is a completely sound design.

That you need to be very careful in signal handlers is common knowledge, and obvious from what they do; signals handlers as a first approximation behave like executed in a separate thread, but even worse since they hijack a running thread and thus block the hijacked thread from executing the previously running code. (So you could say they're like fibers / cooperative multitasking?)

The bottom line is, you can't touch errno in your signal handler, obviously -- just like you can't printf() or any other thing that has "critical sections". And since you don't do that, you're safe.

By the way, signal handler safety is specified in POSIX and/or various other documents to a degree that neither I nor you seem to have cared to research properly. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/POSIX-Saf...

BTW2: I noticed on that page that errno is explicitly mentioned, but obviously only as an example of modifying thread-local data in a signal handler. As the docs point out, any such modified data must be restored before leaving the signal handler as to not pending code running on that thread. So in that sense, thread-local variable like errno are "safer" for than functions like printf() that take locks -- you _can_ touch them in a signal handler but you need to restore them.
Bingo!

I looked into the business of issuing a stable coin back in 2018 and found that the only way to make it work so I could cover the costs of running the business was to invest the fiat into other ventures that could offer yield. At that point though the stable coin isn’t stable.
To be fair, high energy experiments are still taking up a lot of money and effort. If you agree with her arguments then maybe it's a horse worth beating.

I have some concerns about the dark matter point but I think she is more or less right and I think it sucks to be competing for funding with work that's not well-directed.
Isn't qryn (nee cLoki) just as good as rolling your own?

https://github.com/metrico/qryn

Ed: given: "... for two years now" - I think clog/qryn was a bit rougher around the edges at the time - so my question is more for today - would qryn do 80% to 200% of your home grown solution today, with 10%-50% of the effort?
Well then 2 humble suggestions:

The era of the "human info curator" is probably a natural evolution of the influencer era. It would be interesting if snapshots of Wikipedia from now-ish end up being seen as the ultimate corpus of unadulterated truth, before the AI's corrupted it. That'll probably happen at the fringes. Everything that can happen does happen at the fringes. Further ingress is the question.

You overlooked an obvious pink elephant; that the “security” state is yanking our chains as a distraction once again, as they so often do so effectively.

It could be for a couple different reasons and/or a combination of them, but included in those are probably things like distraction from the lies, failure, and collapse in Ukraine or even the “OMG, it’s UFOs” now is to prevent that huge toxic chemical catastrophe in Ohio taking peoples attention. But maybe it’s even just priming people for the minutes of hate to initiate Oceana’s war with Eurasia that we have always been in.

The social engineers in the government constantly misdirect and redirect attention by using their patsies in the media companies, so it’s not like it doesn’t happen. And now we have AI generated propaganda to look forward to an even more efficient psychosis inducing stream of lies.

What I’m more curious about is how otherwise smart people are so easily redirected and played tricks on as if they’re babies, too they point they don’t even realize the magic smoke and mirrors show happening as the ball disappears and reappears in the other hand and the young attractive lady survived being sawed in half.

Boop! The government’s got your nose! What will you do without your nose. Boop! Ok, it put it back. Phew! That was close!

OpenAI Unavilable in Your Country
Why has OpenAI chosen to not be available in specific countries? They have an expansive and diverse list of allowed countries, but then they pick a few countries that don't have sanctions against them to be not allowed to use their services.

It feels like an endorsement of the ethics of the countries they do allow, since they decided to be an arbiter. It also feels like a blanket IP and phone number ban is ineffective against state actors, if that's what they're concerned about, while blocking entire populations.

It's really confusing I've never seen this.
I'm badly looking for that! Is there a repo I can follow?
Wealth inequality is the biggest risk IMO. It might come down to whether or not we get a competitive open source LLM.
