Yes, and I conjecture that the necessary complexity can only be found in 'flesh and blood', i.e. analogue, as opposed to 'on/off' digital approximations. Mathematically the real numbers are unimaginably more numerous than the countable numbers (see Cantor), thus a system with a countable state space (i.e. digital computers) cannot embody the complete complexity of a similar real state space system (i.e. the human brain) regardless of how 'big' you make it. There just aren't enough whole numbers.

I term it the 'Cardinality Barrier', and thus sleep easily through this latest AI 'bloom'.

Good planning and monitoring will also prevent the last point from becoming a problem.
I've been waiting a little over a month with no update so far, but I don't expect any sort of fast track since I'm not currently a paying customer.
Should be noted that Rust (one of the most prominent languages with traits) doesn't allow you to implement a trait for an object you do not own. A common workaround is to wrap that object in your own tuple struct and then implement the trait for that struct.
I reckon I would probably have rather fought than faced the shame of being a draft dodger. It couldn't have been that obvious when the war was in the middle, that it would turn out as it did. America usually wins.

I think shadowgovt's post was quite neat: the draft and the body count.
That's not a useful comment.
What’s Google’s moat? Mind share and being dramatically better than the competition is indeed a moat. Trust me mind share is incredibly hard to gain in this day and age.

Simula itself was almost a superset of Algol-60. It's pretty much Algol-60 cleaned up a little bit and with a Java-like object model bolted on top. C++ is a direct descendant of that, sometimes even syntactically - e.g. the keywords "class", "new", and "virtual" all come from Simula where they had largely the same meaning. It's close enough to our mainstream OO languages today that Simula code can be easily understood, at least so long as it doesn't use the async features:

What's the last one?
I'm impacted. And it sucks.

It sucks because I really liked the company. I liked the culture. I liked the leadership style. I liked the mission. I genuinely think that company is doing good for the world, and making money in the process.

The challenge now is that the leadership have burned a lot of trust with the employees. They repeatedly said no more layoffs were coming, but with this move they all benefitted financially quite well- the stock is up 25%.

The move deeply undermines the company culture that they worked so hard to build. I hope Tobi has a plan for how to repair that damage.
Both apps seem to get the names of exits consistently wrong in the Bay Area. I don’t care what a map thinks the name should be — I care what the sign says.
Maybe. It just seems to me that every single angle of AI has this same moat issue.

It's like the generation ship problem. Send a ship to the stars today, and before it gets there technology might advance such that the second ship we send gets there before the first.

How do you justify the capital necessary to stand out in an AI driven marketplace when the next models could make your business obsolete at any time?
sizeof() returns the number of "units" that something -- an expression or a type -- takes up. What do you think those units are?

They are literally defined as "characters". sizeof(char) is always 1.

Your confusion (besides the pointer thing) is that 'x' is a funny way to write an int, not a char.
I hope I never work on software you folks use. The grand claims about something that is not even hard to fix is just wild to me.
If you want to do this outside of apples ecosystem, I suggest using privacy.com to generate a card with only the first month's payment available, then closing the card after the charge has been made. simple as, with no corp skimming off the top.
Here's the sketch of a defense against such attacks. Is there anyone out there who'd buy it, if it existed?

Imagine a tool that given a simple description of a server (e.g. pointed at your build system or a downloadable artifact like a container image) creates a VM that starts the app on boot, uploads that VM image to the cloud, starts it up and then performs a remote attestation protocol to verify that the remote VM is running what you think it's running, down to the last byte. Remote attestation allows you to "measure" a VM or enclave to determine a cryptographic hash of everything running on the machine in an auditable way. Sometimes the VM has encrypted RAM so you can prove that the cloud provider can't break into that machine.

It could potentially have helped in this case where the attackers compromised a build system. Remote attestations can be chained together and used as signatures, so for example SolarWinds could have come with a proof that it was compiled correctly from a particular git commit hash, and then third party auditors could have been hired to monitor that the code doesn't have backdoors. Customers could then run it and get from this imaginary tool a complete audit chain all the way back to a certificate issued by a third party that says "we reviewed the code at commit <hash> and this program was compiled from that code via a build system audited via remote attestation".

Now, RA isn't a silver bullet. It's still possible to transiently hack a machine such that the hack remains in memory. But if you regularly reboot and re-attest your VMs, you can wipe these hacks out on a regular basis because the entire thing is being booted from a known good image, and that image is created from known good code, etc.

The pieces already exist. AMD SEV, Intel TDX, Amazon Nitro and others support RA protocols for virtual machines, Linux has support for propagation of attestations through the service stack. But there seems to be a lack of orchestration tools to bring all the parts together. If there's any interest in signing a letter of intent for such a tool please get in touch (email address in profile).
Just created it yesterday. I don't think there's as much incentive to squat on the S3 namespace like there is for domain names.
The content of the series describes creating something like the beginnings of a Deno alternative, upon which the reader could fully recreate Deno or Node.js. It seems to me that the core idea presented is "a JavaScript/TypeScript interface to Rust". The thing that most interests me about something like this is not making yet another alternative to Deno or Node.js, but the potential for adding a scripting language to an application or framework written in Rust. I'm thinking like Python scripting of Blender, Lua as a scripting/modding layer for a game engine, scripting of Tiled with JS, an Electron alternative using GTK, your own browser.
I went the opposite way (many) years ago with vi

caps lock + j -> screwed up document too many times

(I don't recall vi having multiple undo, just one level)

Finally switched to emacs. Pleasantly surprised when emacs keystrokes worked all through macos.

I do use vi quite a bit for quick edits of config files. My fingers just figure out that i'm in vi. (and vi supports some emacs keystrokes, like c-n, c-p)
The Vercel adapter may get some more attention and features first (like ISR[1]), but local development only requires NodeJS. So I think you can self-host SvelteKit anywhere that supports NodeJS. SvelteKit is designed to be serverless-first, but still supports traditional servers-based deploys.

And there are several non-Vercel adapters that should just work (Node, Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, static site generation)[2].

And even more unofficial adapters[3]!

Sites like HN and that other one should track this. It could work like flagging - if enough people mark it as hugged to death (HTD), it would say so next to the link. Maybe it could even redirect to an archive if it’s currently HTD.
It's a beautiful project and close to the Holy grail of fullstack software development (a single framework for building modern Web apps).

But, be advised that it's not production ready and quite unstable yet.

this week my deploy script was broken because version 0.1.26 was un-released. Which broke my docker file build with pinned dependencies.

The file upload component was changed a few times so my UI with file uploads silently stopped working.

I had some issues when state binding input components. Which lead to the backspace key no longer working inside a text box.

The websocket state updates can make the ui feel sluggish.

Despite all that, I love this framework and will continue tinkering with it. It hope it can grow to maturity before people lose interest!
You have these cells in your brain called Microglia. They are responsible for cleaning up neurons and plaques and other weird proteins. These Microglia are activated by the firing neurons which release 2-AG and AEA (Anadamide). AEA binds to the CB1 receptor in these Microglia. 2-AG binds to CB2. THC binds to CB1. CBD binds to CB2.

Autistic adults have significantly low blood serum levels of AEA. Autistic people’s neurons prune slower. Schizophrenic people’s neurons prune faster.

It seems the ECS system is the principal driving mechanism behind both conditions. We need a lot more research in this area, but it could be THC has a positive neurological affect on Autistic people whereas finding a blocker for AEA binding on Microglia may result in a positive neurological affect on Schizophrenic people.

The next few years will be especially interesting.

Same, but I also have ones that are turned off due to switches or outright not plugged in but still configured. So every night when I ask it to turn everything off it goes "Ok, turning off 15 lights and the 4 lights are not available" which is quite the mouthful. I've been waiting to try to configure Hue scenes via keywords using IFTT thinking this might bypass this but I never made it that far.

They aren't bad people because they can't find a relationship.

But a lot of them act in bad ways because they believe/have been told to believe that their difficulty in finding a relationship is someone else's fault.

This often makes them utterly insufferable to be around, which is a positive feedback loop.

> Without exception, doing a rough mock-up in a modelling program took FAR less time than trying to wrangle exactly what I needed from one of those generators.

I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations of the tech-- they think they can get exactly what they want if they are articulate enough in describing it with words.

Feed your rough mock-up to img2img (or use inpaint sketch) and you'll land much closer to where you're trying to go.

It's a power tool. It will do tedious manual work (producing art) very quickly. The difference between professionals and consumers in how they use it is that the professional asks the machine to "finish what I started," whereas the consumer tells the machine to "do all of the work for me."
It's the old consumer/professional distinction at play: "If it's a professional tool, it's a job to know how to use it."

There are definitely some professionalized paradigms emerging in the use of SD: one video tutorial I saw this morning covering basic photobash + img2img and use of controlnet had a commenter saying that they preferred using the lineart function in controlnet to get more control and leverage their drawing skills.

When you see that kind of thing it's a huge signal for professionalization, because someone suggesting the optimal first step is "learn how to draw" deviates so completely from the original context of prompt-based image generation: "just type some words and the image magically appears".

We've been using Pynecone for a bit and are coming up against some problems.

For example trying to write a wrapper for AG Grid there is no way to pass a custom class attribute so you can't style the output with a theme.
I followed the link to try the increment/decrement example/demo from the landing page (https://pynecone.io/docs/getting-started/introduction). There is probably almost a full one second delay between the time I click the "increment" button and the updated count being rendered.

Not seeing any network requests so I can't imagine why it would be so laggy.

At least in Germany, a very large portion of new BMWs, Mercedes, Audis and even boring things like Toyotas and Fords are corporate leases, often driven by individual employees who get them at their employer's negotiated rates and sometimes as part of their compensation.

This results in a fantastic pool of 3-4 year old cars with low odometers and scrupulous maintenance records, keeping the rest of the used market in check.

Due to the slow downs and supply chain issues of the past few years, I imagine the used market is not going to be as nice the next few years, and the usual off-lease classes will be a lot smaller than usual.
So many things are 404 on this announcement. The demo looks really amazing though, I’m pretty excited to try this out locally.

Show HN: LazyCSV – a fast, memory-efficient CSV parser for Python
We recently open-sourced our internal csv parser, and wanted to share it here. LazyCSV is a zero-dependency csv parser for Python which uses memory-mapped files to provide random-access reads on a CSV file without holding it in memory. Its API allows you to create efficient iterators to lazily parse out rows and columns of data. Optional, opt-in numpy support is also available for creating ndarrays from sequences of data without creating intermediary PyObject's. Feel free to take a look!

It depends on the company and/or hiring manager.

The role I’m currently hiring for, the face to face literally is just a meet and greet. All the technical stuff will be done remotely.

When you want to add a sandboxed scripting language to any system, you might implement something like this. For example, a multi-tenant web proxy that lets users script functions for transforming requests, or a game that lets users script the user interface elements, would be two valid use cases.
Huh. I suppose you can. The pricing looks a little opaque though, and the fact that it took 3 hours after I wrote my comment for yours to show up kind of implies it's a bit of an obscure service.

That’s fair, FWIW, I don’t hate abstractions, and often prefer them (recently had a project I switched form primarily C to primarily Erlang because the abstractions provided allowed an amazing level of expressiveness given my project), but I like having a idea of how my abstractions work and preferably where to look when they fail.
Fair questions.

> Do you really expect "and you should feel bad" to have any effect on someone operating in bad faith?

Of course not. In fact, I expect there to be nothing to do to dispel conservatism and its brand of bad faith. The framing is actually wrong - I wish not to have any effect on anyone, besides telling them I see thru them.

I enjoy doing that.

> For readers who are not the person you're replying to, do you expect it to make them agree with you more?

I expect some people would be entertained, and others, as yourself, displeased.

What do you think posting anything is going to achieve? I'm interested in why you do it, given this framing. For me, online interaction offers a chance for discourse, to learn what others think, to hear rebuttals to your mistakes, and to chuckle at the occasional low blow I wouldn't throw to someone I really know.
That's a great point.
