We're talking about different time-frames. PHP is now a respectable language because the language and the ecosystem evolved to be much more capable, this somewhat raided the bar from earlier when new, self-taught developers could get by with copy-pasting functions from the internet.

AI tools assistance tools currently help with code-writing at function-level, which is analogous to copy-pasting PHP functions from SO. There are a lot of opportunities to shoot oneself in the foot with both. Without an understanding of the larger (sub)system, AI-generated code will have integration bugs and superfluous code. A good/experienced developer can use the same tooling and emd up with excellent code, but that won't stop the ecosystem from being tainted as awful.

With the growth in token sizes, AIs will be able to ingest/understand larger codebases and generate more consistent code, but that will happen over time, just as PHP got Laravel as well as base-language improvements.

I'd love to see an ongoing set of graphs and data visualisations that show me what's going on.

E.g.

- how much are we borrowing this year and the last 50 years

- what is net migration for the last 50 years

- what is inflation for the last 50 years

- what are the crime rates for the last 50 years

- what are the violent crime rates for the last 50 years

Don't know why I picked 50 every time, but I'd just love some key, well-contextualised data that we could all agree on. At the moment it seems as though people can't even agree on basic facts, and anything that helps with that would be awesome.

These sets of transforms are known as iterated function systems (IFS), and the algorithm dubbed "the chaos game" by Barnsley. If I recall correctly the algorithm actually distributes uniformly over a probability measure supported by the set, so for picture-making purposes it is typically done with a probability associated with each transforms chosen to even out the visitation (otherwise some details will take forever to be seen).

The whole area is a consequence of Banach's fixed point principle (a very fundamental result), with Hutchinson I think extending it to unions of contractive maps.

A lot of time context matters. In a forum thread called "What would be the worst title for a self help book?" a post that just says "Give up, kill yourself" is not actually promoting self harm. It's saying that its the worst advice.

assuming the entire point of the game is "moderation is harder than you think, stop assuming all mods are power tripping, they have tough choices to make!" -- the tutorial isn't supposed to be teaching you how to answer the questions properly, because answering questions properly isn't the point of the game. It's teaching you that about how hard moderation is.

Also, I've played plenty of games where the tutorial involves dying and then the follow up is learning how not to die (generally in games where dying is common and they want to indicate that "dying isn't the same as game over, this isn't Super Mario for NES")
It's not, because the site tells you there is a perfect answers. On this card, it tells you should ban it.

The same feeling of tech 10-15 years ago is what the current AI scene feels like. There's definitely an emphasis on higher education now, but outside of that look at what hackers have been able to accomplish just solo. It's a burgeoning scene with the potential to be as impactful as software was. Except now instead of if/else, it's going to be inscrutable arrays of numbers representing learned programs :D. It seems super fun and the barrier to entry is a lot lower than people think!

> Applications using wgpu run natively on Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 11/12, and OpenGL ES; and browsers via WebAssembly on WebGPU and WebGL2.

is not an argument against being WebGPU, as GPU drivers don't talk WebGPU directly (for now?), and WebGPU implementations are free to use whatever backend they please, as long as they provide the right API.

However, wgpu is still only based on the WebGPU API, which makes the topic of backends irrelevant anyway~

Are the buttons velocity sensitive?

I've got a couple 256-button monomes (no longer in production, basically -- they only make smaller models now) and waited twelve years for something velocity sensitive with as many buttons to come around. Eventually the Lumatone did, and now the monomes sit in a closet -- but I'd really like something with smaller buttons, because I divide the octave into 58 pieces, which means I can barely reach an octave on the Lumatone (whereas I could easily reach across three octaves on the monome).

I didn't know that memcomputing had already been solved. That's fantastic news...here's hoping it doesn't remain ridiculously expensive.

I take issue with this line, however.

> Both MemComputing and quantum computers are physics-based approaches to computation. That is, they set aside many of the foundations of traditional computer science and rethink computation from the ground up. For example, they don’t follow the von Neumann architecture, the computing framework that separates the processing unit from the memory unit, which is employed by all of today’s computers.

From what I recall of Von Neumann, his titular architecture was the 'first draft' of what he was going for, and we've been stuck with it before he could figure out version two. He based his design on the notion of cellular automaton, where of course the processing units are not separated from the memory units.

Rather, from what I recall, the Architecture we've been stuck with was just his best attempt at emulating what's here called memcomputing, but with the limited engineering resources at his disposal. If he hadn't died, I think he would have been trying to do proper memcomputing in the second draft. Only took us the better part of a century to catch up!
I don't think the person you're responding to wants a network based or cloud based solution.

When someone says they want it available they mean running on their own device.

This is hackernews, nearly everyone on this site should have their own self hosted LLM running on a computer/server or device they have at their house.

Relying on 'the cloud' for everything makes us worse developers in just about every imaginable way, creates a ton of completely unnecessary and complicated source code, and creates far too many calls to the internet which are unnecessary. Using local hard drives for example is thousands of times faster than using cloud data storage, and we should take advantage of that in the software we write. So instead of making billions of calls to download a terabyte database query-by-query (seen this 'industry-standard' far too many times), maybe make one call and build it locally. This is effectively the same problem in LLMs/ML in general, and the same incredible stupidity is being followed.
Download the model once, run your queries locally. That's the solution we should be using.

In fact, I've seen the "solar and wind cover lots of land" in every single post about energy that comes on HN or Reddit.

The answer the "compared to what?" is everything. It is clean, continuous, it's compact and other benefits. But it's expensive. You need over 30 years (being optimist) to break even. You need government financial support because no bank would finance that. That's the reason only countries like France or China build them: the costs are partially hidden in the country budgets or public owned corporations balances.

About hydro, that was a "unknown unknown" paraprhasing Rumsfeld. You can't avoid what currently seems our best bet to our current knowledge (wind and solar) because maybe there's an unknown unknown that could bit us hard in 40 years.

The error I gave is a similar one to the one I used to get with “major” upgrades that happened when Ubuntu decided it was time to upgrade.

It happens and I seriously never claimed that it was an ultra common problem, merely that upgrades in Postgres are more intentional and not painful except for a little extra work between major versions. The standard upgrade path within major versions; 9.x or 10.x or 11.x or 12.x is working just the same as MySQL, except I have much more experience of MySQL completely fumbling their “automatic unattended” upgrade or even the mysql_upgrade command.

Mostly because in the real world outside of engineering cultures databasen are massively abused, ISAM tables that are constantly updated, InnoDB ibdata1 in the terabytes, poor configs, replicas that have skipped a few queries, column changes inside a transaction that failed but actually modified data, it happens. Usually I am called in to clean the mess.

Major difference here is that Postgres doesn’t leave a mess, so I never have the kind of issues that I am describing in this thread with it, and you don’t because I am guessing that you’re there when they’re installed, someone with knowledge was actively maintaining. or you have a lot of people to help with shortcomings.

I get it though. you’ve got your sunk cost knowledge of MySQL and you’ve been on large support teams for it. Maybe you’re afraid I’m suggesting that this knowledge goes out the window. and it has gotten better, but I wouldn’t give my kids watered down led infused soft drinks just because I had suffered through led poisoning. I remember coming to blows with you in other threads over the years because you think MySQL can be saved or is totally fine, but honestly, just, no.
That may be true but there were lifeforms with more fractal structures like the precambrian Charnia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charnia ) and other Rangeomorphs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangeomorph ).

The main difference the author is getting at (I suspect, I'm not a biologist) is that these earlier life forms display a multilevel fractal self-similarity within their fronds, basically fronds of fronds of fronds of fronds, instead of modern plants where the fronds have structural differences like leaves/buds that keep the pattern from replicating past a certain point.

The weird thing is that as far as body plans go, a fractal shape would maximize surface area while minimizing body volume which would seem advantageous for a filter feeding organism. It's not clear why such a simple design went extinct so quickly.

There's indeed few languages that can model all of JSON Schema in their type system. Typescript comes close. However, you can just use a subset as you said.

I don't really understand why this is a problem. Unless you're using things like Haskell, Julia, or Shapeless Scala, you generally accept that not everything is modeled at the type level. I don't know the nuances of the C++ types you mentioned, but I have not encountered the ambiguity you described in Typescript or the JVM. E.g. JSON Schema is pretty clear on that any object can contain additional unspecified keys (std::map I assume) unless additionalProperties: false is specified.

> `anyOf`, `oneOf` and `allOf` for [...] C++ data structures?

Like I said I don't know C++ well enough, but these have clear translations in type theory which are supported by multiple languages.I don't know if C++ types are powerful enough to express this.

allOf is an intersection type and anyOf is an union type. oneOf is challenging, but usually modelled OK enough as an union type.
I agree. I find it highly pointless to spend one's leisure time learning new tech stacks, working on hobby projects just so that you can show them to an employer. Finding actual real-world problems that you care about to solve, that's way more satisfying. Intrinsic motivation beats extrinsic motivation.
