> I don’t see why other statically typed languages cannot do this

It's not that they can't (mostly), it's that it's much harder.

TypeScript gives you a lot of strict typing for free. You can just throw data around, and TypeScript keeps track of its type. If you paste a blob of JSON into TypeScript, there's a new type created behind the scenes, and you can even reuse it with very little extra code.

The magic parts are the structural typing (overlaps quite a bit with duck typing) and type inference. It means that even your basic JavaScript with zero type annotations are type-checked against each other. If you just feed JavaScript into TypeScript, you'll uncover a lot of errors you didn't know were there.
I notice the GP hasn't responded to this. If Lambdas couldn't be a target for SNS or SQS, I wouldn't bother with them either. But that has been a core architectural pattern since 2018.

Lol, I messed that up, Timothy Edwards is the creator of Magic. Not sure where I got Jonathan, Ousterhout? I am aware of subtext, would be good for our LLM future.

With Tiny Tapeout the levels of inception increase, we must go deeper and you get 8 bits in and 8 out and the designs are daisy chained. Purely for experimentation. 1000 logic cells or whatever else you can fit in the space.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Unfortunately I'm too busy atm to put too much effort in, but there are some nice things coming up :-)

I'm also sometimes working on `Tone Audio Player` (https://github.com/sandreas/ToneAudioPlayer), which is planned as cross platform iPod Nano inspired app, that is able to stream and download from different services (Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin, Kodi, etc.). But this project has just started and will not really progress until I have more time.

If you are interested, take a look at AvaloniaUI (https://avaloniaui.net/), a really nice cross platform (incl. WASM) UI Toolkit for C#.
Sometimes I'll quickly take a picture with information I'll need and I'll set a reminder for when I'll need that information to do something.

I have a few recurring Keep reminders, which is a document larger than a couple of sentences that contains line breaks for formatting.
Russians are of course allowed to post on HN. We don't exclude people because of their country.

In fact we don't exclude any population, not only (or even primarily) for ethical reasons but because it would be bad for intellectual curiosity, which is what we're trying to optimize for (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

We do ask HN users, from any country or population, to stick to the site rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and in particular not to post in the flamewar style.
I don't know what the second one is supposed to be, but at least one instance is featured on the History of Crimea page,[0] which leads to a fairly detailed page about the related referendum.[1] Seems pretty factual to me.

> With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence the majority ethnic Russian Crimean peninsula was reorganized as the Republic of Crimea,[54][55] after a 1991 referendum with the Crimean authorities pushing for more independence from Ukraine and closer links with Russia. In 1995, the Republic was forcibly abolished by Ukraine with the Autonomous Republic of Crimea established firmly under Ukrainian authority.[56]

The parent comment is in bad taste (and it's indeed weird it was a reply to your comment, seems out of place) but from my experience and observation I have noticed that Apple shills/fanboys, especially, do not really change their views. I assume something get hardwired into them. But even then the best way is probably to just ignore and not attack them.
I want one of those cheesy gemstone gloves but with one these old shapes. Maybe 280 million years ago.
Software for maintenance devices shouldn't be written so it forces people to use a cloud service unless they can guarantee that will always work. There's about 1000 points of failure in that.

Actually, I'm pretty sure DVDs and music CDs and games only exist because that was their only option. If you look at what the law is and what they're trying to do, you don't own the rights to the game you buy.

If they could forcefully take it back from you and disable the in game radio because their license expired, they would. And they do, when they can. Same with movies you "buy" instead of renting for money. They can and do just change their licensing and remove it from your account.

Game launchers also do this. If you get banned in 1 game, they can just delete your entire account and all linked services because you're not really buying the game.

You're barely even buying a license to use it. You basically have zero rights other than where technology has limited them.

Anyway, that aside, software shouldn't be your only concern. It has all of the visibility right now, but tech hardware should also be up there. Physical life of tech is currently terrible. An unopened, factory sealed electronic left in a store will still die after like 5 to 10 years. Nobody wants to or can feasibly repair it so it's just e-waste. Analog equipment exists for some things with higher tech solutions adding functionality and reducing power in some cases, but I'm curious to see more data about how these truly compare.

I came across this while looking at how to backup data for a long time. I was also curious about the case of analog devices in space. It's been hard to find a lot of info about it.
I love it. What fun. I love the discourse and I love the edit wars.

Everybody here seems to be talking about how disappointing this is. But this is exactly what Wikipedia is - this is Wikipedia working as intended.

This article calls these lame but then relishes them one by one. There’s something quite precious about this.
It's showing Tasmania separated from the Australian mainland 20,000,000 years ago, even though supposedly it separated only 12,000 years ago?

Also, the constant spinning is super infuriating and mildly sickening.

Not a true ice age, but the so called "little ice age" [1] ends about 100 years after the start of the industrial revolution. So you could argue we helped in its demise, even if it wasn't a "true" global ice age and more of a regional abnormaly that lasted a couple centuries.

What kind of work are you doing to need that on a laptop of all things? The usage cases I am aware of are all better suited by non-portable computers dedicated to the task.

That sounds incredibly specialized and I am needlessly curious.
Unless it's an official "Apple" statement (and not an employee saying it somewhere, maybe not even Cook) and part of the official documentation and actually implemented (so that in what shape and form Apple has actually implemented it and whether it is of any practical use at all or not) unfortunately that is just a random statement. That's Apple.

It's actually answered (indirectly) on that page:

"My report "What is eBPF?" and in-depth book "Learning eBPF" are both available for download [0] from Isovalent or with your subscription to O'Reilly's learning platform. You can buy "Learning eBPF" from any good bookstore (support your local bookshop by ordering it there!)"

IIUC, you need to give contact info on that page to get the PDF. So this [1] might be a better starting point.

Is a joke going over my head here, because the first sentence links to a document titled "what is eBPF?"
I gave context (attribution) because Capote's quip dates from the late 1950s, and it seemed likely few people today have heard it or know the context. Capote's criticism of Kerouac seems funny and relevant (to me, anyway) without the context. Whether one thinks Capote got it right about Kerouac, or just liked to stir up shit to polish his own image, makes no difference to the humor. The irony comes from me using the quote not to criticize Kerouac, or any actual human writer, as Capote originally intended.
Given that many startup founders or newcomers to the business/product world need to somehow market their products and use what's at hand, your comment is pretty weird.

I wonder if wouldn't be better to test the product yourself and give a feedback?
I work with several of the original authors of solokeys and can confirm they’re legit and gifted engineers.

As rebuttals go, it's pretty empty. You basically just asserted "I don't agree" and then dived into ad hom against a straw man.

My dad wrote out a million by hand as marks in the 30s or 40s to teach himself what it felt like (he was a mathematician) but ultimately it's still just "the one (1) book I wrote a million marks in"

I tend to think of a million in terms of stadiums of people which are usually 50,000 or so, and then try to imagine 20 of them. To me, this also means aside from an inductive quality of counting sheep and inferring a million is out there, I fail to grasp it except as a meta set of something I know I can visualise.

Which is pretty much what the articles author is on about. We use scientific mega/giga prefixes to reduce large numbers to instances of smaller ones our brains are built around. One, two.. lots isn't far off how we're wired.

You can try but realistically, you shouldn't bother in the overwhelming majority of software. Depending on whether you're on a platform that allows for overcommit, you won't necessarily know that an allocation has failed until you attempt to make use of it and the OS tries to back the pages, by which point, you could be far from the source of the allocation.

You're just going to end up with an insane amount of error handling only to discover that in the real world, there's likely nothing you can really do anyway.
yeah, I think I should have said something along the lines "Functions as a Service first is a mistake" but whatever, I didn't think people would focus so much on what they consider serverless is.

IMO managed container runtimes are PaaS, are both FaaS and PaaS serverless? Who knows, we don't seem to have hard definitions but in my mind PaaS predates serverless becoming a fashionable word so I associate with FaaS and FaaS-like things only.
I will check it out, but my experience is from within the last few days.
The thing I found amazing when I found Verner Vinge was that there were still sci-fi authors of his calibre that I had never heard of, given I have been reading sci-fi since I was 8. There are more things in this world etc etc.

That doesn't account for how eastern Ukraine has a much larger percent of ethnic Russians than western, nor Russia's invasions andntakeovers of other former Soviet territories.
We have a 1947 Willys Jeep. It is the objectively worst vehicle I've ever driven, but it sounds magnificent. I've not had it into third gear yet, at least in high range. Second is quite fast enough, thank you very much[0]. I assure you it's not just speed.

[0] How fast is that? Who knows; the speedometer doesn't work, along with many other things.
Honestly, I really think you misread JKCalhoun, and then responded to that rather than to what JKCalhoun actually said. This happens a lot online, of course - especially on topics about which people are justly sensitive. It's not your fault and it's not unique to you. We all do it. It's inevitable.

What's not inevitable is attacking other people. That's not allowed here. Much better is to keep the possibility of misreadings and misunderstandings in one's attention, and use it as a device to help one remain neutral, or at least respectful, in responding to people.
Reminds me of that 28-core 5GHz monster that needs compressor cooling a while ago...
LLMs may have the capacity to imitate creative and thoughtful pieces, in the sense that their output can fool readers into inferring creativity and thought because we (humans) have no other model: When we encounter writing that makes sense we automatically infer a conscious and intelligent author, because our minds have no alternative explanation.

That capacity to fool people with apparently meaningful and creative content may have some value in the market, but I think that value amounts to the same value the market assigns to what currently gets churned out by people working in "content production." Not zero, but not the same value we assign to actual creative writing.

> But then in practice, people who actually value that (as in, pay money), their cars just ends up being loud and obnoxious.

It's the other way around: There are plenty of cars that sound beautiful unmodified, and aren't unreasonably loud, but they tend to be the most expensive cars on the market.

So people often modify their cars to sound different, but getting a refined sound that way costs a lot of money. The cheapest modifications make the car sound terrible, so you're more likely to notice the cheap poorly modified cars than anything.

At the end of the day considerate people are going to drive any car quietly in a quiet setting. Inconsiderate people will start their car up in track mode at the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning and leave it to warn up for 20 minutes, and bounce of the rev-limiter going around town.
Fact that the US main power distribution network(eg: pacific DC intertie)runs on DC that we concert back to AC for regional distribution and then back to DC to power our houses like lights, tv, electronics etc. AC is inefficient long distances and still needs to be converted to DC to power our stuff.

These aren’t blocks issued by a court order where a judge has validated whether the law was broken or not - these are journalists being suspended at behest of the government. Twitter has fought such blocks in the court before. People expected the same from a “free speech” Twitter.

Recent IT amendment rules, mentioned in the article, make safe harbor much harder, and the older Twitter would have been one of the few voices resisting it. I’d be very interested to see a comparison of Twitter’s Transparency reports pre and post Elon.

> If I use passkeys right now, with Google or Apple, and they close up shop tomorrow, I'm screwed.

No. You’d be screwed when all of your devices stopped working before you enrolled another passkey with the services you use, or setting up a password login if you’d never done that before. That wouldn’t be great but you’d be far more exposed earlier to the fact that you were using devices which no longer receive updates.

The important thing to keep in mind here is context: people are getting compromised daily due to password weaknesses. People are going through account recovery processes for similar reasons, too, so a key question isn’t whether there’s a perfect option but rather how it’ll change those numbers.
Oh, so you mean like, supposing that NPI exists, an NPI problem? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-intermediate

That is an unresolved question. It might turn out that every problem in NP is equally hard. (Up to a polynomial translation cost.)
That it's meant to be liberating. Historical libertarian socialists were very concerned with issues like female suffrage and freedom from oppressive social norms as much as economic relations - the sort of concerns that would be derided as 'woke' today. Many of them were anarchists and libertarian socialism is generally anti-authoritarian and often anti-state.

They were also alert to the possibility of socialism becoming another oppressive orthodoxy; Emma Goldman is famous for saying 'if I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution' (although this is paraphrase of some wordier remark made in an interview). Murray Bookchin is probably the best-known modern exponent of these ideas.

> I think the LLM revolution tell us something else - it is language that crystallises and captures almost all the human intelligence. By training a random initialised transformer on language you get chatGPT. Doing the same to a baby leads to a modern human. It was not the brain or the transformer that are intelligent, it is language running on them that is. Language is a self replicator, but it needed humans, now it works on LLMs too.

This sounds like it's leaning or leading toward Julian Jaynes bicameral mind book or ideas?
Are we losing water at a pretty quick pace or something? Seems like there is far more surface area above water now.
Agreed. Serverless is a spectrum. Heroku for sure sits on that spectrum.

At it core serverless is about delegation of responsibility and how much responsibility you can push across the vendor boundary.
I think all the scientific evidence indicates that we'd be on a long ~50,000 year slide into a new ice age right now, except that human ingenuity in the pursuit of energy resulted in a massive injection of fossilized carbon into the atmosphere in the form of coal, oil and gas combustion.

However, if the goal was to head off the next Ice Age, all the scientists agree, "Mission Accomplished!"

Probably best to eliminate fossil fuels from the energy mix immediately, don't you think?

Personally, I think Amazon’s recommendation quality has declined precipitously over the last year or so. I find the way they do the recommendations page now to be totally worthless. Often, more than half the books recommended are different formats of books I’ve already purchased from them. The old format, by genre etc., was much more usable. Goodreads does a better job, but it’s far from perfect, e.g., mystery recommendations under science, etc. In reality, I frequently get better recommendations by searching books on Hacker News.

Doesn't the unrolled version skip the speculation for three out of every four entries? If so, it seems suspicious that it does so much better when it looks like it's a mix between the first and second version instead of just an unrolled implementation of the second version.

I'd also be interested in seeing how this performs when the data isn't allocated in one chunk (which seems to be the absolute best case scenario for this trick). Will it end up worse than the "naive" version due to all the branch mispredictions?
Very cool.

Like many of these tools it suffers from northern hemisphere bias that hides interesting information about the southern hemisphere.

In looking to correctly simulate axial tilt we get Gondwana and Antarctica hidden from view in the shadow, their sunlit versions only available via options rather than hidden by default.

The southern polar region is the more interesting of the two for the vast majority of geological history and I think as Antarctica thaws we will need more interested geologists in it than our current conversations are generating.

I wish authors would emphasise it more when creating visualisations like this.
