[Helux](https://github.com/tnfe/hel/tree/main/packages/helux) is a brand new data flow solution that encourages service injection and supports responsive change React. Its predecessor was [concent](https ://github.com/concentjs/concent) (a high-performance state management framework similar to Vue development experience), but Concent itself needs to be compatible with class and function syntax to maintain consistency, and in order to set up its function, the internal code volume is too large, with over 70 kb compressed and the API exposed, resulting in a sharp increase in learning difficulty, In order to better conform to the coding trend of the current popular DDD to build a domain model around business concepts, helux was initially designed as a lightweight react data flow solution that encourages service injection, supports responsive changes, and supports dependency collection.
> This is basically Samsung asking Google to pay up

True, but Samsung isn't known for user-friendly phones, and they often come with a lot of bloat. At some point, it drives more and more users to Pixel.

How do you find the time to go through it all?

A lot of open source developers also post about other topics like their cats, dogs and favorite types of bread.

Which is fine. It's their profile. With twitter I could filter out these with carefully crafted search queries on separately maintained lists since I only have so much time in my day to devote to Tech,

I cannot do this on Mastodon since no one is diligent about hashtags and it is an explicit policy to cripple search. I've most stopped following open source developers since then.
The author laments a long walk, passing so many neighbours and potentially unmet friends along the way. Looking for close friends who aren't around anymore.

We probably chanced across our close friends one day because we were living or doing something nearby. And introduced ourselves. And sometimes friendships spark.

The article is great but I feel it could also recognize the birds in hand nearby.

US police teargassed protesters – a visual investigation

Are you speculating or is there precedent for this? I highly doubt even the largest criminal organisations are producing custom hardware or software.
Right. All the evidence points to more potential being left on the table for emergent abilities. It would make no sense that the model would develop all of these complex skills for better predicting the next token, then just stop.

It's a massive bet for a company to push compute into the billion dollar range - if saying something like this has the potential to help ward off those decisions, I don't see what's stopping them from saying it.

I basically see Microsoft talking when Sam talks.
Thank you for sharing and replying. I feel for you.

You could very well be right; I was just putting together a gut feeling about the HN community and anecdotal knowledge of where my coworkers in the industry live.
> If you are easily able to change the firmware, you are easily able to destroy the hardware,

For a recent and popular example of this, look at Hector Martin's experiments in implementing sound for Asahi Linux [1], which led to the destruction of his Macbook speakers and a warranty replacement.

(the end result is a good Linux sound driver for that hardware that correctly implements power limiting [2])

Ah. I wonder if Kubernetes configurations are so frequently accompanied with lengthy explanation text that it is unable to separate the two concepts.
Statistically, five to six out of ten of my neighbors think my marriage shouldn't be allowed, so yeah, I'd say there's a pretty big barrier with the neighbors of happenstance. The ones who will deign to talk to us politely discourage us from attending the BBQs, "Oh you know, it'll be mainly families so it won't be of much interest to you."
This is a bit of an unconventional POV, but I don't consider large areas of suburban sprawl to be cities but just really big towns. This covers Houston, swaths of Atlanta, lots of Southern California. There are lots of people living there compared to rural areas, to be sure, but without the density to support usable public transportation (once-an-hour buses don't count), it's really not a city at all. It's endless suburban sprawl, and many people do appreciate that. Just don't call it a city when it's really not.
> less superficially and more importantly, they would not be particularly honest or open or intimate with each other within the parameters of social norms

This is more of a product of the time. My parents weren’t that open with close friends either back in the 70s when I was growing up.

Fast forward to today and my friends are all quite open about personal things. And the one I know who is friends with his neighbor is just as open with the neighbor.

Back then it was just socially unacceptable to talk about lots of mental health stuff or anything near it.
Thanks, that is exciting! Given these LLMs seem to cost $millions (or hundreds of thousands) to train, how is this funded. Is it a government / research funded thing, or VC, or philanthropy for example?
First I'd have to understand how to make some friends as a 37 year old man who works entirely remotely.

I'm trying on Bumble BFF mode, but not having tons of luck.
Even if the electrons move slowly, it can remain true that it only takes a few ns for them to settle down. The time for any of the "wrong paths" to have their current drop to zero after the switch is thrown will be determined by the RC time constant of that path, where C is the stray capacitance and R is the path resistance. That's going to be over pretty quickly.
Most of the people who work for large tech companies in the Bay Area live in the suburbs.
I think it’s the same but different rates of propagation. It’s about potential force and gradient descent in the end. It’s also interchangeable. The water moves a physical object which induces a moving magnetic field which induces current in a conductor which moves through the circuit and can induce a magnetic field in a conductor which can move a magnetic which can move water.

This is a wrong comparison. Most of the layoffs were in departments that H1B visa holders are not hired traditionally. Orgs like marketing and recruiting were disproportionally affected compared to engineering which hires the majority of H1B visa holders. The article is just trying to sensationalize while its business as normal in most places.
Yeah you’re not wrong. It’s certainly part of a larger trend towards being less connected to your community. Some of that is obvious with large urban areas. Less personal space at home. No yard. Higher crime/distrust of strangers. You need tons of influence/power to be a leader in your community.

But the suburb example is less obvious. Perhaps connecting with the world through your computer/smartphone more than 1:1 is one reason. Although not all suburbs are the same. In larger cities the population is high enough that they fit the same profile I described above for the city proper.
It is the main driver of the birth rate drop. The studies accounted for socioeconomic changes.
> Between copious amounts of manure and liquified fish as fertilizer, you could always tell by the smell which farmers were looking to cash in on organic produce.

Why would anyone fertilize their crops right before harvesting them for sale? This makes literally zero sense, as it would just be throwing away money. It's like the urban legends about people lacing marijuana with 100% pure cocaine or whatever.
The social security administration in the US solved this long ago. Reserve a few bits for “which source generated this integer”, then go sequential, or random w/o replacement for each shard.

(Note that SSN’s were not meant to be unique when this scheme was invented. They were designed to be reused periodically. Name, DOB and SSN should be unique though.)
You do realize that the Cybertruck literally has no airbags right?
Nope, nope, nope. Light switches never work properly in my own dreams either, but I find that testing the lights or just even noticing they aren't working is a guaranteed one-way trip to night terror land, even in adulthood. Not even realizing I'm dreaming is enough to stop it at that point.
They could have it open source and people like Gerganov could rewrite the code in C/C++, but god forbid they actual are open

The problem is it's not data for you, it's data for Microsoft they turn around and sell. Every ping to their servers is more and more tracking data on you. If you sign into the OS with a Microsoft account, which is virtually required with Windows 11, they've got all of that data correlated with you personally rather than some ID string.

Being severed from your own culture create a link.

And with people sharing a language, it’s even quicker.

A common ice breaker is to gently make fun of American.

Interesting point: I would probably never have talked with those folks back home. And they would have not either.
It’s actually refreshing. We see each other back home as well.

My actual point: when I come home, I started to behave the same way. And .. it kinda works.
It is a nice set of problems to have though, diversity of neighborhood or living with millionaires. Choosing to work somewhere you can do something you love for executive wages, or move to another city, with a move that costs pocket change so that you can find love.
Compute will also scale exponentially in coming years. The data source limitation seems to be a harder barrier, I think many companies are experimenting with AI generated content for training at this point.
You have to have the ideas. Those are pretty easy, though.

You can go look at other company's websites to get ideas from their blog posts. then you must reword things in your own words and thoughts, maybe take out some stuff of theirs if you don't agree, and add your own content that they don't have and you think is needed. If you go onto 20 websites and read their content on a specific topic, you pretty much will learn everything there is to know unless it is hyper-technical, like some PhD level mathematics or physics, then just give up if you want to write content like that. That is unreasonable.

You can go onto reddit subdomain that is in the area of your interest and read through the comments. If someone there asks a question you know the answer to, that can be a great starting point for a blog entry. I tried to think of a random category and the first thing that popped into my head was "roses." I don't know anything about them but went to that subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Roses/

I started scrolling and came across "Roses wilting after planting" and the description of what is happening: "So I did everything you’re supposed to do with planting rose trees I dug enough space added enough soil, put some rose plant food. Is there anything to help combat the shock and any tips would be welcome. I am in Phoenix Arizona so climate is sunny now thanks in advance guys can post pictures if needed"

If you are a rose aficienado and can answer this question, that is a topic right there. If you do NOT know about the topoic, you can search through other rose websites and see if there are answers and then just put together an answer. However, you must make sure that the sites you get the info from are completely and 100% accurate and from reputable sources. Finding reputable websites can take a lot longer than writing the article.

Of course, you must have a great command of the English language. You have to create something readable. Entertaining, not dry. Easy to read, not cryptic. Organized, not disorganized.

If you can't do this yourself and are horrible at grammar, at least correct the obvious mistakes in Word - they underline the mispelingz and all that.

You can maybe also get an editor from fiverr. Even professional writers use editors to catch their mistakes. It's difficult to see your own mistakes.

Also, fucking chatgpt, that fucking shit is awesome. You just need to be able to double-check the shit out of it, as it sure as shit does not get everything right. So you need some expertise to double-check chatgpt.
I was thinking of all the bsod complaints some people where posting in other Windows related threads. You're right I didn't had bsod's on windows 7 to 11. Except on 8.1 for some reason but I blame it on the hardware, it was getting old at that point.

Windows 11 did feel weird to me when it launched but when I went back to 10 after a year on it, 10 felt archaic.

I agree the context menu is not for everyone, I still use the old one. By consistent I meant it feels like the rest of the OS. I should edit that to prevent further confusion. Notepad++ recently updated to support Windows 11 context. Saw it in a changelog, I don't use the new context so can't say for sure.
They work in the states as well. It's ridiculous that you have to run a third party app to make your OS usable out of the box, but it did work, and I haven't even had much trouble with settings flipped back with updates so far.
You, or the people you are referring to, are purposefully missing a key part of the "self determination" argument: Democracy.

The Southern states had signed a contract - the Constitution - in which they promised to abide by the democratic process. In exchange for giving up some of their sovereignty to a federal government and respecting democratic rule, they reaped the economic benefits and security of being a part of a larger unified country for almost 100 years.

By the 1850s, the majority of the country (as well as the rest of the world) were opposed to slavery. For good or bad, in a democracy, majority rules. The South decided they didn't like that they were in the minority on this issue (and no other) and decided to unilaterally break their contract with the rest of the states as a result. This was and is unacceptable - can you imagine what would happen to a democracy if any time a group of people lost an election or were in the minority on an issue, they called for a revolt, civil war or "national divorce?"

It would have been perfectly fine if there was a democratic decision to let the South leave as voted on by all the states, but that's not what happened. Thus the "self determination" or "northern aggression" argument holds no water. The southern states, after agreeing to be part of a democracy, had no right to leave in an undemocratic manner because simply they didn't like being in the minority. By not allowing secession, the Union wasn't being aggressive, it was just holding the South to their contract and preserving the fundamental basis of democracy. Getting rid of slavery was a bonus.
Presumably this person has prioritized their social life over the years. Having friends isn't a random accident.
> For what it's worth, as the rare suburbanite HNer, I fondly recall my family having the same sort of relationships with neighbors in the late 80's and 90's; unfortunately the same just doesn't seem to happen even in socioeconomically comparable suburbs today.

I used to live in a townhome in Kirkland Washington, ~10 minutes from Microsoft's main campus.

One year my wife and I made Christmas cookies and went door to door to hand them out. The vast majority of people shut their doors on us without saying a word, including some of my (at the time) fellow MS employees still wearing their badges from work that day.

A couple years ago I moved to Seattle proper. When we moved in, neighbors brought us over cookies.

The difference is astounding. People here talk to each other with quite a bit of frequency, neighborhoods organize block parties, BBQs, and other such events.

It isn't like the demographics of the people around me have changed, it is still largely engineers!

Edit: When looking at houses in Seattle, we went and visited this one house 3 times in quick succession, and on the 3rd visit neighbors came by and talked to us and told us about the neighborhood and said how much they'd love to have a young new family move in. Another couple with a young child across the street from the house went over to talk to us and described what it was like raising a family in that area of the city (all pleasant things, the house was in Magnolia for anyone who knows Seattle!)

I have a good friend who live in a suburb north of Seattle, he is one of the most outgoing and social people I know. Even he doesn't know his neighbors.

IMHO something about 10,000 sqft yards and deep setbacks destroys any hope for communities.
Since getting a cute, friendly dog and walking him twice a day, my friendship count in the neighborhood has gone up by at least 10x.

Of course, for a lot of them, I only know their dog's name, not the person's. /s

No, it's not enough, but it's sure better than not knowing the neighbors at all.
Pronatalists believe having more children is imperative to save society. This seems somewhat opposed to being pro-choice, where the decision to procreate is purely a personal decision; the impact of your personal decision on society is not a factor.
I doubt most HNers actually grew up in large cities. I would guess most were in the burbs or smaller cities (although they may be in large cities now). Just given the demographic distribution of cities (younger, less kids) and the urbanization trends over time (was more distributed 20+ years ago).

"Friendship" doesn't happen in a vacuum. You need dependence and value exchange between two "friends." Technology has replaced most of our needs and dependence on other people, with great economic benefit. The downside is it eliminates the need for other humans, and consequently removes the potential for fulfilling relationships.

Just two example out of millions: Uber reduces the need to have friends drive you to the airport. ChatGPT reduces the need to ask your friends about their areas of expertise.
Nah, few enterprises have asked for any of this trash either. I'm pretty sure that most of them would be perfectly happy with a windows 98 style GUI, that supported modern hardware. They don't want all this churn either, they want something that is stable, doesn't change very fast and doesn't require them to constantly retrain their staff or waste their IT admins time fighting with whatever new options require a new set of group policies.

AKA, the new control panel that has been evolving.. most users are likely locked out of it for anything more advanced than changing the sound volume, its the IT nerds that need to figure out the optimal set of setting and push it out. Which is work that the C*'s would be more than happy to not have to pay IT staff to perform.
Interesting what are you doing with ac circuits?
I've been working remotely since long before the pandemic; perhaps my experience at remote-friendly companies has skewed my experience, as only a minority of my coworkers are in the bay area. I'd say the mode for my coworkers is living in a smaller/cheaper (non-SF, non-NY) urban center. Could just be a fluke, though; it's not as though the sample size is particularly large.
I find this notion hard to reconcile with the occasional phenomenon of recalling the contents of an earlier dream only after several hours of having been awake.
As usual I’m not sure the title is accurate - don’t get any real sense of elitism (maybe strangeness but relatively benign).
The issue with being friends is that it mostly works if it's actually present continuous, not present perfect.

That is, to be friends means to be able to find time and interesting stuff for each other with some regularity, on a scale of weeks, not years. Adult life often leaves little time for that, especially now that various forms of easy-to-reach entertainment compete with friendships. Another obvious bottleneck is having (young) kids. To open up is actually a non-zero effort and a noticeable time expenditure; plus you have to allocate time to listen to your friend, too :) Without regular nurture a friendship withers. (Ask me how I know.)

Kids just have so much more time in their hands. (Unless they are also overloaded like tiny adults, then they also have trouble finding friends and, importantly, hanging out with them.)
Ah, that's a fair point! I meant I was unusual in that I live in a suburb now, not that it was unusual to grow up in a suburb.
It's not though. With your own stuff you have at least one DC sitting idle, with all that private gear doing nothing. Doesn't matter if you don't use a single byte of bandwidth. With AWS at least some of that is not there.

They needed a water supply for cooling, and there aren’t many natural lakes in the midwest.

Also, how bad would it actually be if the plant melted down into the lake? There would be a lot of dilution.

The alternatives in that area included unfiltered trash burning plants back when the nuclear plant was installed. It’s not obvious whether the trash burning plant running for 30-50 years would be worse than a meltdown.
8. My friends live in Silicon Valley.
> why don’t we do this? The fetishization of the nuclear family, of course, as well as the building and zoning codes that facilitate that fetishization.

Zoning calls them "single family homes" but it doesn't call it "nuclear family homes" or anything like that. Single family homes are more about American individualism[0] and not wanting to share anything if you don't absolutely have to. That's why, outside of at most a couple aberrations like NYC (where multi-generational families live in condos all together or else fragmented around a neighborhood but still within walking/subway distance of each other), we have a fetishized (less so in recent decades) car and road culture and insane density-averse zoning policy instead of shared infrastructure and dense, affordable housing.

[0] or at least, as idolized by those who made the zoning rules so long ago. so... go change them! Get into local office. Get into state office. I'm no iconoclast, but there are definitely some long-standing norms and "traditions" in our society that could stand to go.
