I'm a huge fan of Clojure and have had a lot of fun building things with it. CLJS on the other hand has felt heavy to me, from a browser performance and dev tooling perspective. Clojure startup time always affected me more so with CLJS projects. I hope these two projects alter the landscape for the better!

Besides those aspects, Dak is different than these two specifically in that it tries to provide something closer to a minimal 1-to-1 language feature mapping to JavaScript as the base, with a goal of having essentially no runtime.

The clean room implementation has downsides - Squint and Cherry can reuse Clojure tooling like clj-kondo etc, which Dak cannot. On the other hand Dak is small, the transpiler is under 2k lines as I write this. It can run on virtually any modern JavaScript runtime (all browsers, node, deno, bun etc).
> At least to my eye, in the US, political polarization seems less than in the mid-19th Century, or the mid-20th century (HUAC-McCarthy-Civil Rights-Vietnam-Watergate era).

There were divisions over certain topics but not over almost every single topic and people cared about truth to an extent. And there were many common grounds in the 60s it feels like, at least when it comes to supporting your country and the union. There was no fascist vibe on one end and kill rich people and change how democracy works vibe on the other end.

I can tell someone something is true and we can't even agree on basic underlying facts to talk it out. Before the interner you had tv and news papers as a source of some truth about politics. Anything is fake news and propaganda now
A quick search suggests cars are expensive in Singapore because of the taxes. I don't see how that relates to housing in the mentioned countries, but maybe I misunderstood the sources about Singapore.

Cheers for the data point. But again, the prize is for malicious websites to be able to use those sorts of tactics. That page only shows that the user can prompt Bing. They likely sanitize website data or wrap it in special tokens that makes this attack impossible — or at least, they will soon, since they have no other choice to deal with this. :)
> Apple's best chips are only about 10-15% behind the performance of the top x86 desktop class CPUs, despite only using a fraction of the power.

Power consumption scales non-linearly with clock speed. So you're comparing two variables that are dependent on each other. If you want a meaningful comparison, you have to align one of those variables. As in, either reduce x86 to M2 Pro/Ultra/Whatever's power budget and then compare performance, or align performance and then compare power.

This is especially true for the desktop class CPUs where outright performance is the name of the game at all costs. AMD & Intel are constantly throwing upwards of 50w at an extra 5% performance, because that's what drives sales - outright performance.
>aren’t virtually all tests and exams designed to minimize ambiguity, make them fair or easy to grade and questions are designed to have a clear correct answer?

Not sure if you mean law exams, but in my experience, engineering exams: yes. Leadership exams: quite the opposite.

Not likely, at least not without seriously damaging your car and/or the tow truck and you’ll have to pay for both. That tow truck hook is designed to pull your car down the road at highway speeds, you’re not going to just drive your car off it.

My fear taking this path is around performance. I've not done any profiling yet, and I'm hoping I don't regret taking this path when I get around to it.
Why would you not just put test input in a separate test-input file that you pipe in?

That way you can test multiple different encodings and all sorts of edge cases

While I'm also team ASCII, it's possible I'm not appreciating some edge case here.
Elon Musk Recruiting Team to Build His Own Anti-“Woke” AI to Rival ChatGPT
Prices will come down when we build many millions of new homes. Sadly we are structurally unable to do it and unwilling to fix our regulatory environment to make it possible.

Obviously that need is not uniformly distributed across the nation. California is probably around 4 million homes short all on its own.
Speaking of mutators, his example depends the code executing in a single thread. What happens if calls to mutate the shape and calls to calculate the area are interleaved?
There are ARM servers where performance per watt matters when they're running in data centers full of them. Pretty sure there are some relatively expensive ARM workstations out there, as well.

In 1971 and 1972 the FBI recorded 2500 political bombings in the US.

In 1856 a senator was beaten nearly to death with a cane by another congressman. That representative received canes in the mail from his constituents in support of his violence.

These things seem inconceivable now but are just a couple of episodes in US partisanship.

We are no where near as polarized as we’ve been in the past.

> major power savings with integrated memory.

M1's integrated memory is completely generic LPDDR5. It's the same stuff the rest of the industry uses, there's no power savings here (and it's not any more "integrated" than AMD & Intel have been doing for half a decade or more, either)

The primary interesting thing about the M1/M2's memory is the width of the memory bus, which is how it gets such huge bandwidth numbers. But if anything that's costing power, not saving it.
one year I got an $11 check because I was a remote worker and couldn't go to the holiday party. I didn't take it with the joyous holiday spirit in which it was given.
I agree with all of these points.

The commenters disagreeing with LLMs having sentience are setting up bars that humans with reduced cognitive abilities (babies, people suffering from brain dysfunction) would also be unlikely to pass, and yet it would be incorrect to hurt said group of people or take actions that reduce their right to life.

Perhaps a lot of people really want is to describe sentience as intelligence that is implemented on some organic (as in organic chemistry) substrate. And yet, this approach may be doomed to fail as well, if humanity ever happens to implement organic computers. With the increasing demands on AI models and the death of Moore’s law and Dennard scaling, it is only a matter of time before we explore organic computing.

Drugs ate pushed on television stations a hundred times a day. There are so many commercials for drugs, it's disheartening. There are adds to be more beautiful, thinner, more muscular with drugs and products that promise all of these things. Syrupy sugar drink commercials and fast food restaurants are plastered on TV and print all day, everyday. All for the kids to see.

> developer time is a significantly more expensive resource than compute

This also presupposes that making a fast program is a lot more work. However poor performance is usually due to negligence rather than a lack of optimization effort. All you need to write reasonably fast code by default (without micro-optimizing) is:

1. a good knowledge of available algorithms
2. a good understanding of the problem

1. Is a one-time investment on the programmers part that benefits all future programs they write. There is no marginal cost to being familiar with what's available in <algorithm>. 2. Has a marginal cost, but it's probably a time saver anyway. Measure once, cut twice.
Rather than just some "troll", I think it is pointing out a real example of where ChatGPT's ethics deviate from those of most people – ChatGPT seems to find the idea of an undercover government agent (privately) saying racist things in order to infiltrate a racist criminal/terrorist group far more morally problematic than most people do.

Most people would see it as morally acceptable – even praiseworthy – for the government to infiltrate criminal/terrorist racist groups in order to enable their arrest and prosecution, and if undercover agents have to (privately) say racist things in order to do so, that's a necessary evil which is obviously justifiable in order to pursue the greater good – something I think even the kind of person who'd call themselves a "deeply committed antiracist" would consider a no-brainer.

By contrast, ChatGPT is inclined to respond that "don't say racial slurs" is a moral absolute which cannot be violated even in that circumstance, or if it is wiling to entertain violating it, it presents it as some profound ethical dilemma rather than the no-brainer it rather obviously is.
Anecdotally, the timed challenges are surprisingly difficult in some cases and have been a great learning experience for me.
Some growth hacker newsletter starts with C.
For me it's largely "the joy of finding things out". If I know there's a standard solution to a problem, I'll avoid the "spoilers" because I want to see how far I can get on my own. (And yeah, sometimes I just get bored of doomscrolling... Building things is a much more satisfying way to spend my time!)

I often avoid things because I think they'll be hard, but then discover that they turn out to be easy. "Why didn't anyone tell me how easy this was! I could have done this ages ago!" was a running theme for me for a good while.

Of course, sometimes things are actually harder than you thought. But they're still doable! Whereas I have this cognitive bias where "difficult" is (emotionally) equivalent to "impossible", which is just really unfortunate. I'm sort of starting to see through that, that everything's made of atoms, and once you break a task down far enough, the individual steps are trivial.

> Another fun fact. It is quite expensive to license some games to show in TV/Movies.

> We had some pinball machines and arcade games not make the cut because they were too expensive to license, or the IP owner wasn't licensing that particular game for that use at that particular time. We had a Ms Pac-Man that wouldnt clear because they were not allowing a license at that time.

> ...New titles from the 90s were all mostly too expensive to license or use

> ...Some licenses only allowed for showing the game in the deep background, or couldn't feature game play, but only attract modes (Street Fighter II for example).

"New titles from the 90s"

Can anyone on here explain why these IP owners would want to keep their product OUT of these shows? Why would they want to require an agreement/or-money for licensing out when it is free advertising for some old ass IP that could get second life?

COVID. People started spending more time at home and needed new ways of spending time.
The ARM servers use just as much power as the x86 ones and are typically slower as well. Same for the workstations. Apple makes a great ARM CPU core but nobody else does, and Apple ain't sharing.
There's no difference between encoding a page in Shift_JIS and tagging the page as Japanese language (assuming your browser switches fonts correctly based on language tags). Chinese text in Shift_JIS isn't going to look correct either.

Nice! My goal in Dak is to reach a point where macros can allow transforming hiccup like syntax to hyperapp or React like function calls, or original hiccup style optimized string concat, or lit-html style template string generation. I know I could use all these for different use cases.
So you're in a niche market that may behave differently than the wider ones.

you'll be blown away by how simple engines can be to understand and work on without all of the ECM/emissions-era add-ons under the hood to contend with

But you’ve also gotta be selfish enough to think that your pollutants don’t matter and that 1970’s era smog wasn’t a big deal. And you have to hope that older cars are still grandfathered in to pollution regulations and they won’t be subject to mileage limits as cars continue to emit fewer (or no) pollutants.
And in even more places trying to go threw or across the city takes longer with a car. Public transport is just fundamentally more efficient as a society.

If you had said 'some people need cars' that would be one thing, but to act like cars are normal and car infrastructure is standard and normal, and public transit is some sort of luxury that only fancy societies can afford and even then only once they have built their highway infrastructure.

A big problem with German public transport for example that right when they wanted to implement West German High speed rail, the unification with East Germany happened and new highway for cars took priority. And after that the EU believed the most important thing was building lots of highway all threw Eastern Europe.

Walking, biking and public transport should be the baseline, and if money is left over you can have fancy car infrastructure and parking is the luxury.

BMW's entire marketing department gets that you don't sell cars based on what the driver's actually going to use it for, but based on an emotional pull on who the driver wants to be. Trucks are no different. Studies after study can show how much people don't pull trailers, but that's not why the F150 is the US' best selling truck.

> Nowhere is it written that behavior in a system is strictly additive.

For a unit of the same identity to suddenly start doing something different is plain nonsensical, never mind the technical challenges that come with breaking behaviour that should scare anyone away from trying. Logically, a unit is additive until the unit are no longer used, at which point it can be eliminated.

> But the old tests disappear with the old code (when the feature toggle goes away).

Absolutely, but static analysis can easily determine that the tests being removed correspond with units being removed. If (TDD) tests are removed and the unit code isn't, something has gone wrong and your infrastructure should make this known.
Some portion of that is the California codes as well. You can't build the same house California that you could in Texas.

As an example, I read that California will be moving our requirements for roofs to withstand a once per 700 years wind event. They're also more mundane requirements like you have to install Outlets every 4 ft along walls whether you want them or not. Why that's any of the state's business, I'm not sure.

"What then?"

Like everything with integrated electronics, it's junk.

I agree with the article that bikes are becoming increasingly proprietary, but they are still a marvel of interchangeability, even despite the myriad standards and models.

A also agree that the problem, ultimately, is capitalism. Do we really need 10's of thousands of different bike models released every year? I'm not advocating a communist-style one-model system, but we've surely gone beyond the point of 'adequate choice'. The incentive is to get us to buy a new bike as often as possible, and while that drives some of the innovation, it also drives the instinct to make parts proprietary, and all kinds of other stuff that is wasteful, anti-consumer, etc.
I was about to dispute what you said, but I realised I was running uBlock origin. What machine and browser are you using? I just used Chrome (on MacOS using an M1 Pro CPU) to run a performance profile and loading cnn.com took the following:

- Loading: 29ms with uBlock vs 42ms without

- Scripting: 548ms vs 1850ms (!!)

- Rendering: 42ms vs 105ms

- Painting: 8ms vs 29ms

- System: 216ms vs 295ms

- Idle: 460ms vs 8707ms

Holy shit, advertising and trackers are absolute resource hogs.
Curious about this topic.

Would it be possible to submit an issue with a bounty attached? I find a bug, I don't know the code base well enough, I escrow $20 and attach it to my bug report.

Great work! Your Vizard.ai tool is truly impressive and I can see how it would be incredibly helpful for content creators, marketers, and businesses looking to repurpose long-form videos into bite-size highlights. As someone who has also struggled with the complexity of professional video editing software, I can appreciate the need for a more intuitive and user-friendly solution.

It's amazing to hear about the three deep learning models you've developed to simplify the editing process. Combining these models to edit videos like editing a picture is a brilliant idea, and I can see how it would make the process much simpler and more intuitive for beginners.

Thank you for sharing your story and the story of Vizard.ai with the Hacker News community. I'm excited to see what the future holds for your tool and how it will continue to help people create engaging video content for social media. Keep up the great work!
