Well, they're using GPUs to perform the light calculations required to create a photomask that will get the designs they've already produced onto real silicon. But sure, they're using GPUs to design GPUs. I'm sure this technology will create more opportunities to use inverse lithography and therefore have huge implications for the actual designs, which may no longer have to hold back quite as much due to compute concerns.
We don’t watch logs for fun. If issues get reported in local time, using UTC logs simply shifts the burden on an issue reporter (who may be clueless in this regard) and/or an investigator who now has to convert dates back and forth in their communication and probably while viewing, because let’s be honest barely anyone will scurpulously convert all dates into UTC with an additional tool, when it’s easy enough to subtract time in your head.

We could use both dates in logs, but that would eat an unreasonable amount of columns and confuse naive greps. We could also use non-standard time formats, e.g. <localtime8601>[<dst switch warning>] <unixtime>, but standard log handling tools aren’t built for it.
Not really. If new suppy growth outpaces demand then prices will drop. Recent advances in robotics may make construction much less labor intensive, crashing prices in many areas.

I agree with you that social media is a social toxin. Kind of like alcohol or heroin.

The solution for all three I think is the same. Don't allow the government to pass laws criminalizing these things, because that has bad outcomes. It's a lot easier to say "the government isn't allowed to restrict bodily autonomy" than it is to for example try to write into law the 800 different specific exact scenarios where society thinks abortion is ok. In this case, "the government isn't allowed to pass laws restricting access to information" or something along those lines.

Certainly we should allow our government to offer alternatives, information on the negative effects of a toxin, treatments, and use our governments to ensure good social safety nets that prevent people falling into toxin abuse as their only escape.

I'm talking about the problems of using the State to enforce whatever given values or ideals. The State is at best completely imperfect, at worst, it's fascist and trying to kill you and people like you. Don't let it get to that point, don't let it ban what it today defines as "social media."

There are better ways to protect society from these harmful things. Mostly I think solutions around good public education.

I think you're conflating imagination and creativity with taste. Your example might be cute and funny, but as you yourself alluded: it's completely bland and tasteless. It's maybe good enough for a "meme dump" but that's all.

All fiction writers suck? I don't know how much fiction you read, but it's incredible varied. There's a lot writers need to think about and control in the reader (and account for multiple profiles) outside of just an idea. But the ideas themselves need to be coherent.

Ask HN: How to enforce checks in CI vs. Git hooks
Let's say you want to enforce checks (e.g. linting, or the format of a Git commit message) as early as possible. At the same time, you want to avoid killing the developer experience (e.g. because of a buggy or long-running local Git pre-commit hook).

I researched the topic and found 3 ways to implement such kinds of checks - I'm wondering whether you know other ones, or what your experience has been using any of these (or possibly a combination of them):

1) Local(!) Git hooks:

Useful ones are e.g. "pre-commit" or "pre-push". They offer the fastest feedback, but are unreliable, because developers need to install them explicitly. They are also either limited to bash, or require extra tooling to be present on the developer's machine (e.g. a linter). One could do this in two ways:

1.a) Use any tooling installed _natively_ on the developer's machine, e.g. a Python script, or pre-commit.org. Pro: hooks terminate quickly; con: requires installing the tools, version drift may happen (e.g. outdated Python interpreter)

1.b) Docker-based: package the tools into a Docker image. Pro: allows fixing the tooling and auto-update it when needed; Con: requires running Docker, may be slow if a new container has to be created

Slow pre-_commit_ hooks are especially bad for DX, particularly if devs commit often! For pre-_push_ hooks, a slower hook might be less terrible.

===

2) Remote(!) Git hooks, particularly the "pre-receive" hook.

Pro: avoids having to rewrite already-pushed history if any checks are violated

Cons: complicated to set up on some platforms, or sometimes not possible at all (e.g. github.com); limited to bash

===

3) CI jobs: you run the checks in CI as jobs, once the developer pushed the code.

Cons: feedback is provided quite late, compared to local Git hooks; requires dangerous force-push to rewrite history, e.g. if the checks demand that the commit messages have to be rephrased.

Pros: CI jobs are reliable; you can use any tooling you want (beyond Bash), and there are sometimes ready-made jobs/tasks, e.g. https://commitsar.aevea.ee

====

One can of course combine multiple approaches from above, but it would require more maintenance. For instance, you could have a local pre-commit hook or local pre-push hook that checks the branch name and commit message formats prior to pushing them, but additionally have CI jobs that validate the same data. However, there is maintenance effort to ensure that both approaches are in sync (e.g. check the same commit message regex) and do not contradict each other.

What was wonderful is that you could get value in one or two lines of code. No NPM or JS stack, no jar hell, no servers…you had all you needed on day 1. You also created without all the fluff.

Printing graphics might mean binary to switch dots on and off.

Um...Python, C++, Linux, Erlang, mobile phones (Nokia), Spotify, HTML...

Having worked for both European and US companies, I would say that a) innovation is mutual (we learn from each other) and talent/mediocrity are pretty much evenly distributed.

The US has a more "dynamic" economy in some sense - for example the VC ecosystem is far better funded - but is detrimental in others (Byzantine health care system deters would-be entrepreneurs).
That’s not the case. After going to the first vet, you can search for causes of anemia in dogs without uploading test results or giving any further details and the first hit is as good as GPT’s.

I have seen some good use cases for GPT but this one in particular (the Tweet) is not a good example.
Try Standard ML or ocaml. You may be surprised how far the module system can take you, and how limited type classes really are for expressing abstractions. On a different vector, you can see the same story -- type classes are convenient but too limited -- in the development of abstract algebra/topology/analysis/... in Isabelle/HOL.

As for laziness, things don't work out too well for a variety of reasons. Bob Harper laid out several many years ago. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=existentialtype.wordp...
What do we mean by cognition, how do we measure it, and what aspect of cognitive performance are 6 year olds better at though?

Because GPT4 would destroy a 6 year old at a verbal reasoning, quantative reasoning or an abstract reasoning test.

For the reasons others have said I don't see it replacing 'traditional' scraping soon. But I am looking forward to it replacing current methods of extracting data from the scraped content.

I've been using Duckling [0] for extracting fuzzy dates and times from text. It does a good job but I needed a custom build with extra rules to make that into a great job. And that's just for dates, 1 of 13 dimensions supported. Being able to use an AI that handles them with better accuracy will be fantastic.

Does a specialised model trained to extract times and dates already exist? It's entity tagging but a specialised form (especially when dealing with historical documents where you may need Gregorian and Julian calendars).

An explanation of what GNUstep is (and what it is not):

https://gnustep.github.io/information/aboutGNUstep.html
Meanwhile you could use an iphone as a webcam for years by just buying an app,you could use an ipad as a cintiq by just buying an app, using your phone with your computer with kdeconnect also has been around for years. Pretty much nobody cared. Then apple came out with their branded version and suddenly you have people praising it as the best thing since sliced bread and great "innovation".

So my prediction would be that apple releases a ZigBee bridge and light for $50 in about 3 years and calls it a fancy name. People will tell you how absolutely essential and innovative it is and how you could never get that without an iDevice.
Bureaucracy in Italy is bad. Why? Public workers have zero incentive in making anything even slightly better. You are told to do one thing one way, and invest nothing in even understanding the thing, let alone making it better.

It is like this in the public, and in the semi-public as well. Once the wage comes in, interest dies.

For the same reason, firing a public employee who is under performing is almost impossible. We just move them around.
The entire article is about fair use and how what IA is doing is not fair use. I would like the IA to exist, but I agree with the ruling that their fair use argument is nonsense. It's not a derivative work.

The article seems to downplay the effect that space leaks can have on correctness / reliability. If 99.9% of code you write works, but every once in a while code nondeterministically encounters space leaks, that's a bad thing for the reliability of the language as a whole. You can no longer rely on any program you write being guaranteed to execute to completion.
I'm always very unimpressed by people who believe that politicians have the intellectual capacity to differentiate between HN and Reddit.

They don't, especially when they're throwing their weight around after screaming about internet boogeymen for years.

Go watch the Tiktok hearings. They were losing their minds because filters could track your eyes and your cell phone could use the internal wifi network in order to access the internet.
if the changes are high quality, wouldn't it be a pleasure to accept them? don't you already have more ideas yourself than you have time to implement? Many authors get fed up with being asked to add features, and many projects die from lack of attention, I'd say you're doing something right!

If Linus T could still say that he wrote 100% of Linux, he'd be talking to about 10 people.
See also Why Functional Programming Matters, from 1984 https://www.cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html

> Recall that a complete functional program is just a function from its input to its output. If f and g are such programs, then (g . f) is a program which, when applied to its input, computes

g (f input)

> The program f computes its output which is used as the input to program g. This might be implemented conventionally by storing the output from f in a temporary file. The problem with this is that the temporary file might occupy so much memory that it is impractical to glue the programs together in this way.

> Functional languages provide a solution to this problem. The two programs f and g are run together in strict synchronisation. F is only started once g tries to read some input, and only runs for long enough to deliver the output g is trying to read. Then f is suspended and g is run until it tries to read another input. As an added bonus, if g terminates without reading all of f’s output then f is aborted. F can even be a non-terminating program, producing an infinite amount of output, since it will be terminated forcibly as soon as g is finished. This allows termination conditions to be separated from loop bodies - a powerful modularisation.

> Since this method of evaluation runs f as little as possible, it is called “lazy evaluation”. It makes it practical to modularise a program as a generator which constructs a large number of possible answers, and a selector which chooses the appropriate one. While some other systems allow programs to be run together in this manner, only functional languages use lazy evaluation uniformly for every function call, allowing any part of a program to be modularised in this way. Lazy evaluation is perhaps the most powerful tool for modularisation in the functional programmer’s repertoire.

I will humbly give my POV on this. I also never understood the VC verbiage until after I “launched”. Now here is what I understand after coming forward with a business idea: the formula for “success” is being able to “uncover” a market request for a product/service and SELL that product/service to them.
In this regard idea = market_need = make_something_people_want.
Therefore, to me ideas AND execution are EVERYTHING.
I think what people mean is that “talking” about an idea is not sufficient.
I strongly disagree that ideas are cheap, as I disagree that execution is a given.
I believe ideas are oxygen, execution is hydrogen, what you want is water…

k8s is basically a standard interface for cloud providers, where you can define load balancers, persistent volumes, certificates, etc. in addition to jobs and services. It has a well thought out declarative language that maps well to how ops runs things at scale.

Swarm is a small piece of that, the scheduling system, and you have to run it yourself. It's really not comparable.
