When I hear "cold start" I usually think of the amount of time between process exec to when my first line of code starts executing. In this case I would just assume that Rust will be faster since it's pretty much how long it takes to load the binary image into memory and jump to the _start/main entrypoint. Go has a whole runtime to boot up before ever getting to that point. Many, many layers of setup code. So it's not surprising at all that it has a significantly slower "cold boot".

A tech that just works automatically without having to learn it seems even better.

But I suspect it's not actually that hard to find; users just have no reason to care.

> I have this weird taboo about writing on books.

I completely understand this, I used to be unable to write in my books, but forcing myself to start writing in my books was completely worth it. Now it feels natural. Its extremely valuable in non-fiction works to be able to pull open to a chapter and instantly find everything I found noteworthy.

Writing in books also allows for a good notetaking workflow: read a chapter or section while highlighting interest parts and writing symbols/questions/notes when needed. Then re-read the chapter and take notes, focusing on what you highlighted. Move questions and comments to the notes, and perhaps research the answer to those questions if necessary.

Finally I would also suggest writing in books in order to instill a proper relationship with property. Books are tools for conveying knowledge, writing in a book simply continues to fulfill that purpose. They aren't idols that ought to be put on a bookshelf to look at, they ought to be read and referenced. I think being willing to write in books helps create a healthier understanding of ownership: we own property; the property doesn't own us.

Markdown is an authoring format. It’s OK as that. But it’s completely unsuitable as a publishing format, because there’s way too much variation of interpretation. Remember also that Markdown is built on top of HTML, more or less—you’d have to either ban all HTML tags (… which rather makes it not Markdown), or have just the same problems as before, but now worse.

People have suggested Markdown for email quite a few times. It’s a total non-starter, absolutely no chance of anyone doing it in the next few years at least (and I strongly doubt Markdown in any form will ever make it in like that).
I’m really not sure if he should be given all the credit.

Comics thrived in other countries, so even if American comics were seen as right behind porn, it was only a matter of time until they eventually made their way into mainstream popularity in the US. Which, as far as I know, comics were already popular—they were just a kids’ thing. Same as how video games were just kids’ things for a solid 2-3 decades until kids who grew up on games became adults and the industry started pivoting towards their adult tastes.

Kind of like how kids who grew up on 1940s and 50s comics and their mainstream media influence started to grow a couple decades after they grew up. Batman was a pretty popular TV show roughly 25 years after being a notably popular comic book. Then 25 years after that, we started getting popular movies and more mature cartoons based on the series.
Ask HN: What's the coolest computer simulation you can think of?
This was asked 14 years ago on HN, and the responses were quite interesting. With the improving of these last years, what are the fanciest computer simulations that you know ?
There is a classmate of my daughter (UK) whose family went to vacation in California. On a whim they decided to visit Mexico, but had left their passports at their San Diego hotel. They were allowed into Mexico without a passport and had an, ahem, interesting re-entry to the US. I’m surprised they were actually allowed back after several hours.

But that’s the point if it. He took something that existed in the world and was considered low trash and turned it into something that was considered high art.

If he just made a generic comic book styled thing he’d have something but by taking existing, bottom of the barrel culture and transforming it, he made something entirely new.

This is common in art. Picasso for instance would turn prostitutes into beautiful art. Or even something as banal as a news clipping.
The problem is not the short term context length, but long term. If you want to do things like long term goal planning, keeping track of distant past events can be of high value
Surely the concern with dung isn't biological contamination? That seems like it should be impossible given the firing process.

Meta can be a extremely significant player in generative AI. Meta owns few of the largest interface of chat UI through Whatsapp, Messengar and Insta. Inserting a chatbot can hook more people in the eco system. You can book your cab or order your groceries through a simple chat in whatsapp. A primitive version is already there but with introduction of LLM Meta can actually build a app store for whatsapp. Moreover Meta has a data moat which is out of access from Microsoft and Google. It has access to 70% of all human chat conversations in the last 10 years

It’s only been in the last 20 years or so that knockoff Lego got anywhere NEAR the quality of genuine. At the turn of the millennium knockoff Lego was PVC and so badly toleranced that you could barely put a medium or larger set together without it falling apart.

That’s changed now, but it would have been much easier to knockoff low tolerance metal pieces in the 70-90s
Our context is hierarchical, at multiple different resolutions, so I don't think it's comparable.
It unfortunately is not only nonsensical but also true and it is one of the worst violations of Dutch territorial integrity in a very long time. The whole idea that some far away country would subject its citizens here to their laws makes absolutely no sense and has no doubt interfered with many police cases over the years.

What is really mind blowing is that the Chinese society in NL is so closed off from the rest of the country that word of this did not reach the authorities for many years. And what it says to me is that if this could happen in Amsterdam, 300 meters away from a Dutch police station that it likely can happen anywhere in the world and that I would not be surprised at all if more of these turned up if people actively went looking for them.
What value do you think there is for a copy of a Lichtenstein which isn't from Lichtenstein?
Well you could feed an AI system with all videos from school, grades, and all metadata of each student, and have the Ai check for any bad behaviour and try to implement best course of action based on similar past cases

Agree on exactly 1 HDMI input honestly. It's much easier to have the rest of my system mux HDMI (because you either have a receiver, or just a simple switcher, or exactly 1 device anyway).

Also, most of the "action" on this sphere is for the "super-rich" customer: Assume it has more than 1 machine, lots of RAM, fast i/o & fast networks, etc. And this means: It run on AWS or other "super-rich" environment.

There, you can $$$ your way out of data corruption. You can even loss all the data if you have enough replicas and backups.

Not many are in the game of Sqlite.

This is the space I wish to work more: I think not only mean you can do better the high-end but is more practical all around: If you commit to a DB that depends of running in the cloud (to mask is not that fast, to mask is not that reliable, for extract more $$$ from customers, mostly) then when you NEED to have a portion of that data locally, you are screwed and then, you use sqlite!

Human expert relies in the “chunking” effect for expertise, which is mostly not part of the context length (working memory). For a pseudo-analogy, each human is fine-tuned from the raw intelligence (by training and education). In that way generic LLM probably can’t beat us yet so don’t despair!
Yes! That is the story.
> "we seek explanation” requests

A big portion of diplomacy is signalling what a country is aware of, how it feels about the transgression, and consequences it claims it'll implement if nothing changes.

The intent of grey actions is that they're arguably legal.

And the intent of response to same is to make whoever runs the program reevaluate the costs of doing so and voluntarily close up the operation.

Ergo, the response is calibrated instead of just dropping the hammer immediately every time.

You’re exactly right. What these comic book artists and their defenders are missing is that the comic book art is worthless. And especially at the time it was made was considered bottom of the barrel low culture that no adult that expected to be taken seriously would entertain.

But what Lichtenstein did was transform cultural detritus into something considered beautiful and culturally relevant. High art by the people who decide what that is.
What are the ergonomics of compiling that binary library? I think this sounds really neat, if you have a build system that produces something like an .xcframework and corresponding package file it wouldn't even be a pain point.

Yes, I'm sure starting a war was exactly what was needed at the time. The question really is if we had done that - and there were plenty of voices calling for just that - if the Ukraine situation would have improved or gotten worse. You could make pretty strong arguments either way.

From evidence not directly stated they bought it more to keep it alive than to make millions. Bricklink is a value add; what other toy can you get spare parts for sets 30+ years old even on the secondary market?

Inflation considered, and set size, Lego has gone down in price since I was a kid, and generic sets (Creator) are still available.

What’s also amazing is the “licensed premium” isn’t that high if you do direct comparisons.

They did perfect low quantity manufacturing which is evident by the vast numbers of obvious for-adults “Ideas” that are produced.
Apple is the worst offender here, they really bend over backwards. It is proper to single them out too as they are one of the biggest providers of consumer goods at a high margin. There is absolutely no reason they should be forced to use slave labour in china. That's not to say there are other companies that do the same, but they are not as valuable or provide such a highly visible product.

Imagine the effect if Apple actually took a decent stance here and how it could spread awareness about the conditions there.

Google for instance decided to just pull out of the market, I have a lot of respect for that.

It will open up a whole new category of vulnerabilities of the 'how to fool the LLM while convincing granny' type as well. Then there is the liability question, i.e. if the LLM is lured by one of those and granny sends her money to Nigeria or the punks around the corner - take your pick - then is the LLM vendor liable for (part of the) loss? In this it may start to resemble the similar conundrum in self-driving vehicles where a nearly-perfect but sometimes easily fooled self-driving system will lull drivers into a false sense of security since the system has never failed - until it did not see that broken car standing in the middle of the road and slammed right into it. When granny comes to rely on the robot voice telling her what is suspect and what is not she may end up trusting the thing over her own better judgement just like the driver who dozed off behind the wheel of the crashed self-driving vehicle did.
In-store pickabric is fun because you get to try to spacially maximize the container you get. Well worth the trip if you’re ever near a Lego store.

> Do you think it’s solely because of React?

Yes, if the company like reddit, facebook - which has prestige, finances and ability to hire rockstar-10x-A-players React/JS developers is unable to get their shit right and their react fronts works like garbage then it simply means that there is no hope, for some reason it's simply not possible to make performant app with React.

Even if there was a copyright claim (not convinced there was), the owner of the copyright (not the artist as they sold that to the publisher) never took action. Don’t you have to defend your copyrights in order for them to be considered not public domain?
There are plenty of large databases of image, video and audio material of private individuals tied to their identity. Youtube, instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn etc, all of these give you access to extremely high quality material as well as a lot of context that you could use to make a deepfake more believable. And that's before we get into non-public accessible databases, of which there are plenty.
It might be a Slavic thing, in Polish bad handwriting is called "piszesz jak kura pazurem" which means "you write like a hen(would) with its claw".
I felt the same and wondered what the right answer would be. I generally haven't interviewed at companies where I didn't know enough about them to be excited about their domain, and then be excited about their domain, but ultimately as a dev they pay me to write code so I want to also be at least as, if not more so, excited about doing that.

I guess the right answer, if the goal is honesty here, is to couch it in terms of "I'm mostly excited about <your problem domain>, but to be honest one of the reasons I even decided to go this far in the interview process is <tech feature>" or something? I'm not good with people, so I'm as much thinking out loud here and asking for feedback as much as asserting what I'd do.
Public libraries have been an unparalleled good for generations. They'd never have existed at all if publishers of old had the power and political influence that modern publishers have today.

Huge global publishers are thugs and modern copyright laws are their cudgel. Aaron Swartz could attest to that, if he were alive to do so.
So you have a financial vested interest in maintaining the values of these blatant examples of copyright violations lol
Some more descriptive terms might be helpful. AI sounds like something that has agency and makes decisions. This is about ML models to generate speech which is at a different level.
Half the Duplo and Technic are now licensed, but I suspect the Technic licenses may be nearly free or even paid to Lego - they’re selling Ford cars to Ford fans.

The licenses obviously don’t cost a ton as the price per piece on the Duplo is comparable to other “sets” - the “big box of parts” is cheaper as always, but I wonder how much of that is “we out left over pieces and spend no design time”.
But weather is more local. 6MHz might not get that good of a range with low powers like that thanks to the really high amounts of man made noise on HF bands.

So the inherently local nature of VHF complements the inherently local weather alerts. Floods and tornadoes are not an issue at a distance of 300 miles.
The US has been bailing out banks since long ago. Look up the Savings and Loan crash of the 80's.
I guess it depends what you are asking.

In the eyes of international copyright law, attribution times not matter at all. Looking different or being transformative does not matter at all.

These things may matter to some people, being transformative in some ways may matter to some local laws, and the Mona Lisa being too old to be under copyright matters a lot.

Man, that would have left me with such a bad impression that I would have ended it right there, no matter the role.

That said, I've taken jobs where I had to in order to eat, and at least one of them ended up being shit, so I empathise.

Lots of misunderstanding of art and Lichtenstein in this article and thread.

We could play the same game with John Williams music as this article does with Lichtenstein's work.

The reality is all art is far more derivative than the average person realizes. If you don't know that, you just aren't aware of the references.
It’s true the physical evidence for some of this is fairly spotty because natural materials degrade or disperse, but I think the basic outline is sound. It’s also true the middle Palaeolithic in the region of some 300k years ago represented quite a significant advance in stone tool technology, but material culture was still very elementary for a huge span of time after that.

The 70k to 80k year mark does seem to be significant. You might find this article below interesting. The cognitive basis for these changes seems to date from around then, but it took time for that to translate into broad societal changes in physical culture.

https://neurosciencenews.com/language-imagination-evolution-...

The near simultaneous development of agriculture world wide 10k years ago is still a conundrum. I think it is a bit easier to accept as a coincidence if you view it as the result of a few tens of thousands of years of fairly rapid development, compared to the previous hundreds of thousands of years.

I think it’s likely to be a combination of factors. Parallel a social and technical developments on the one hand and maybe climate change induced crisis. It doesn’t have to be one single factor.

If I’m 50 light years from here, the colored coin on a backwaters planet has zero meaning.

It’s a continued fallacy that a physical thing may be secured by a crypto transaction (entry to a DAG).

Now, immediate identity and exchange of contract value, such as on Lightning, may be useful for compute resources, but only in the moment of inference.

Crypto was built to service AI, and more specifically, GAI. This is crypto’s “killer” use case. Everything else done with it is a sideshow.

I had the exact opposite experience. I mean, first of all, people using "VanillaJS" get the DOM manipulation wrong a lot more often. And then I do hope you don't conflate code size with complexity, because of course, direct DOM manipulation takes one heck of a lot more code (unless you create and maintain your own bespoke framework creating your own headaches). You are basically contradicting the whole reason Facebook, a pretty big and quite smart company, started React in the first place.

You also don't seem to understand what "rerendering" means. And that is often a problem in terms of performance. A React component only executes to determine if things have to be changed in the DOM. Not understanding this is creates a lot of pain.
