> Another great aspect of JPEG XL is that it is a short circuit answer to almost any "what format should you store an image in?" question.

WebP offered that as well. Nobody ended up caring. Animated WebP even exists! A truly universal container that also got basically no usage.
I remember switching my Commodore 64 off and on rapidly while it was displaying something on the bitmap graphic screen. The system would reset, but you could enable graphic mode and see 90% of what was there.
Ask HN: Is SQLAlchemy the industry standard Python ORM in 2023?
I'm starting a greenfield side project. I've only used Python in smaller projects without reason to hook up an ORM tool. In searching for choices now, the de facto standard seems to be SQLAlchemy, but I also see a number of references to Prisma[0][1] and other projects that claim to be a better, modern choice. What is the right choice for a brand new project at this time?

I think another issue is that we move 72% of our freight (by weight) by truck. This causes a ton of wear and tear on roads by comparison to normal cars. It would be much better to send these things by rail, but the US is unwilling to invest in its aging century-old rail infrastructure
Seconded. Also, what are the alternatives?

I'd guess that this often happens when companies are failing. For every one that laughs about it years later with billions in market cap, there are 100 that failed.

> I do think “AI” is a hype-bubble, but machine learning and specifically the sort of LLMs we’re seeing now are definitively not a hype-bubble.

There isn't any kind of distinction - when people say AI in 2023 they mean ML, LLMs, image models etc.
I looked through quite a few of these test images and it seems that AFIV is better overall than JPEG XL.

Sometimes it's really clear. E.g. for the "US Open" Image, AVIF "tiny" (23.6 KB) looks as good as JPEG XL "medium" (46.3 KB), despite the substantial difference in bit rate:

https://afontenot.github.io/image-formats-comparison/#us-ope...

In some other cases it's less clear, and sometimes AVIF denoises too aggressively, e.g. in animal fur. JPEG XL has more problems with color bleed. Overall it seems to me AVIF is significantly better, especially on lower bit rates.

Mostly agree. It's funny that HN of all places doesn't seem to get this.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that crypto wants to be illegal - more that it's indifferent.

The entire point of something like Bitcoin is that it works regardless of legislation.

In the existing world, a law could be passed to prevent a person from giving their neighbour a $10 bill, but they can still physically do it, and will do.

That's exactly the problem that systems like Bitcoin attempt to solve - censorship free transfers, which are becoming harder and harder to do via normal banking.

Centralized exchanges are normal banking. They are subject to all of the same constraints. The only people that care about them existing are grifters.

America was involved with that lab, too. It should really be the rest of the world with a negative view of America and China.
It definitely calls other functions in the same file. So some internal functions.

It's quite excellent even for large projects. It still saves a lot of mundane coding
It’s hard to push down conditional compilation too far without compromising its value, but one can still stop at a much later point than Zig does. (In fact, the fundamental choices of Zig in regards to compile time necessarily makes it hard to create good IDEa for)

In my C-like (C3), I retained an #if-like construct, which while semantic (unlike C’s) still meant dealing with sections of conditional code that had to be resolved before semantic checking could commence. To simplify I removed the ability to conditionally include struct members etc.

Doing more research I found D’s `version` interesting. In particular the non-block variant where the version is attached to a declaration.

I ended up creating a more flexible (and therefore actually less good) version of it as an attribute (`@if(cond)`) which then may be attached to any declaration. The advantage here is that at most this leads to some symbols having two (or more) different declarations (resolvable using the `@if`), which allows a lot of analysis even if the attribute hasn’t had its argument resolved.

I think this might be the way forward at the top level.

Inside of functions / macros, $if and friends are fine as they often do not matter for the overall analysis.
“we need to learn more about its safety and even more so about how it would benefit adult health or not” - we don’t know.
Your implication is that if they don't need more money, they can just ignore all those investor-owned shares? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Reddit's an odd duck given their ownership history and their investors. But I don't think they're that odd. Nobody gives you that kind of money without expecting to be well paid and soon.
Last year I also did some attic cleaning and found boxes of all my disks and some CD's from before I moved away to college. I found floppy disks with files as old as about 1993, including one with some risque' saved pictures from p2p IRC file transfers, some chat logs, and whole program folders I had saved (because at that time 'backing up' things to me meant literally copying the program files folder from one computer to another).

Very surprisingly, every file I tried from every floppy loaded perfectly. Nothing says blast from the computing past like finding 16-color palette dithered GIFs of porn you hid as a 15 year old by saving them with obscured file extensions on boring beige floppy disks labeled 'WIN32 DLLs'.
NYC establishes first minimum wage for food delivery workers
Yup, exactly. They have things like whitening brushes that use a longer-than-2-minute cycle, and tongue cleaners that do a 30 second cycle. Switching the brush head switches the mode there. You can also switch manually with the buttons on the brush.

Everyone in the Twitter thread seems really mad about the whole thing, but it's a fine use of NFC if you ask me. Remember, the brush is authenticating the handle with the password, not the other way around. This scheme is not useful for DRM, but is useful if you use more than one type of brush and if you want to be alerted when it's time to change your brush. I just change them on the 1st of the month, but if you want even more life than that, the feature is available. You aren't screwing over Sonicare by using a worn-out brush, you're just spending 2 minutes not cleaning your teeth.
Don't we likewise have predictions about FLOPs, compute, algorithms etc etc that are grounded in theoretical frameworks, and every year or so we make predictions and make experiments to confirm or deny AI capability predictions?

The AI and neuroscience literature likewise describe the composition of intelligence and what it takes to build it.

What would you need to see to believe we have enough evidence that runaway AI is possible, even if it is highly unlikely any time soon? (Worth adding here I don't know exactly what you mean by runaway AI other than simply AI humanity as a whole loses control over). I'm asking what it would take for you to go from 0% possible to 5% possible.

Last time I checked science fiction authors in the atomic age making fanciful speculation on the properties of imaginary systems weren't responsible for actually building said systems. Though naturally, there will be exceptions.
Nonetheless, I still have a hard time dismissing Geoffrey Hinton's concerns as fanciful sci-fi.

Likewise, a nuclear world war actually wouldn't be as bad or even civilization-ending as fanciful sci-fi authors make it out to be. But dismissing its risks entirely because there are some nuclear-war forums where people come up with weird radiation thought experiments just seems preemptive to me.
So many things became painfully clear in the past decade, mostly bursting my bubbles and naive beliefs:

The financial system is broken and will remain so

Social media are broken and will remain so

Our ability to control pandemics is nill and will remain so

Our ability to control war mongering is broken and will remain so

Our overall ability to live sustainably is missing and will remain so

There is only one positive thing i realised: open source is not a niche or a fad, it will keep growing despite the challenges

I dont know how many of the ills it can fix but at least its there. Its not completely dark.

Both reads could be correct. It's not uncommon for the decision to have a child to be immediately followed by an attempt at conceiving it, or for that decision to be made during the attempt.
Except the ones worn on one's neck. The ban specifically allows for them, but not for kippahs or the hijab.
FWIW, I don't know how much they actually "deviate" (and in fact I do think they have a bunch of likely-needless changes) but they definitely lag a bit what they ship, so the core issue is just that they are behind a version or two, so the differences are almost entirely just "the stuff introduced in clang/libc++ 15/16+" with maybe one or two backports. If it makes you feel any better, the Android NDK copy of clang isn't far off of upstream clang and yet they also often are shipping a slightly older version... it just doesn't warrant its own column as they expose the underlying clang version number, while Apple does this really really annoying thing where the version number of clang is hacked to report a version number based on the Xcode release cycle (so the moral equivalent would be if Android NDK r25c modified clang 16 to report version 25... they don't do that, so they don't really need to be treated as their own compiler ever.)
Just an FYI - you can achieve this in 3 layers. It does not need to be deep.

On the contrary, in those cases, AI fulfilled its purpose to the letter.

At the beginning of COVID there was a sense that WFH might be a permanent change and that companies might need to start competing on a lot of social distancing features. Look at Clubhouse exploding then, etc. Doubling the size of your workforce (and knowing you can shrink it if you are wrong) is a pretty reasonable bet. It has a known cost (measured in the hundreds of millions to few billions) if you try it and it is unnecessary (which it turned out to be), but a possible "death of the company" result if all the talent is gone just as you need XYZ to be competitive in a new landscape.

I took a good hard look at dokku , and it almost fits (especially if you put the ledokku web interface in front). I think my main issue was that we have services that have multiple components in a docker compose (not just a webapp + database). These appear awkward for dokku to handle. However, I am still very interested in deploying it, and will revisit in the future.

I looked at k3s some, and it is promising. I think overall anything kubernetes related is probably in my future, but I am not familiar enough with the ecosystem to run it in production right now.

I did install rancher w/ rke2 and even managed to deploy some of my apps. It's really nice, and runs okay-ish on a single server once you increase the pod limit, but again, not comfortable running it for production (yet).

Had never heard of mrsk, but bookmarked for the future. Thanks!

Sure, but I am saying it would actually have made more sense to put receiver as the last such argument--as one might expect from having used Haskell/Erlang--given the other design decisions clearly in play here, as the target reference isn't really the first argument for any obvious reason other than visual effect and some historical baggage from implementations of some object-oriented languages (including Java) with different constraints.

It doesn't work even then.

I've never (_never_) seen a community get large and be able to moderate itself with just technology like upvotes/downvotes. Someone needs to say "You're violating our community standards; get out."

Large, in this case, means big enough that cliques form. That happens well before a thousand people.

> HN users look at the Apollo dev and see themselves, so they're jumping on this out of solidarity.

Your strawman is just that.

You can't comprehend that not everyone is as casual like you and will happily take whatever they get like a good boy because, "you don't really care".

Some people do contribute and care and are a significant part, on aggregate, of what makes reddit special.

Your expectations about "reddit will win because it holds all the cards" are pretty obvious to make. You're not some Nostradamus, when there's no clear reddit alternative like last time around but it's still too early to tell if the users who are intended to be driven to the main app will actually go there instead of empowering other places and causing a slow but eventual migration.

Internet is, many times, about power users and "what's cool" driving others there. Reddit is not Google or fb in that they can simply buy the competition when it appears.

But hey, there's always someone with an "the authorities are always right and will win" mindset.
Countries and governments are not individuals. The fact that a virus emerged in China and proceeded to kill millions of people globally and the Chinese government has completely obstructed any independent investigation is outrageous and criminal. You don't get to throw your arms up and say "No Entry" when millions of lives have been lost.
Governments have neither rights nor duties, so saying they don't owe you anything is essentially the same thing. Governments do what they can get away with doing.
Kotlin still has a lot for itself, with the scope functions, the delegation with "by", the syntax that make it very easy and lightweight to create a DSL (infix functions are great for asserts).

I think it's a very expressive and elegant language if you use its syntax properly.

Maybe some of kotlin's "workarounds" will be converted into the JVM equivalents in the backend.
Could you elaborate? Why is the contrast drawn here not the real division?

EDIT: I figured it out. For anyone else who is confused, Allen C. Ward wrote Lean Product and Process Development, and the parent is saying that Ward is simply repackaging what W. E. Deming taught.
I compare /r/gaming and /r/AskHistorians. The latter is overmoderated and exhibits what I call the "Reddit effect": people will take to be true and accurate anything that is said in a clear and authoritative tone. Yes much of what is on that subreddit is high-quality, but by no means is it all high-quality, and they often remove comments from people that dispute the narratives that are pushed there. The topics of history they choose to cover are very narrow and they have a pretty narrow view of what "history" is: the narrative of mainstream US academic historians.

It's a weird comparison to make, too. You're comparing a default subreddit that is mostly for memes with one of the subreddits held in highest regard. Lots of highly-moderated subreddits are just awful. Why not compare /r/AskHistorians with the large number of highly- but poorly-moderated subreddits? There are many (I won't name names) that you would expect to be reasonably neutral places but because of who picked the name originally have become politically extreme over time. Or just as a result of the effect of the upvote/downvote mechanism. The high influence that early votes have on submissions means that if a small group of people make it their life's work to watch /new (and they do exist!) they can control the narrative very successfully.

The idea that reddit mods are some great asset to the site is just strange, IMO. To me, they're one of the worst things about the website. Most of the big subreddits are dominated by the same group of power moderators who have some questionable conflicts of interests with outside forces. Smaller subreddits tend to be dominated by high-school-style cliques.
There you go. With people believing this stuff of course they face some opposition.
Enormous difference between widespread dragnet data collection and targeted wrench attacks. Most people are not actual suspects worth any scrutiny. It is only when grabbing and storing the data becomes cheap that it becomes routine action (eg duplicate all phones at the border).
> No. Crypto provides no utility.

That's just blatantly untrue. If there is anything you cannot do with normal money, cryptocurrency has utility. You can argue that it's overall negative utility or insignificant compared to the glory of AI (you may be right) but utility is inherent to any system of payment with more than 1 participant.

> AI is a panacea. It's called general purpose transformer ffs.

That's more than just a little facetious. Our AI generates text - it does nothing other than that. It's admittedly great at manipulating text, but that's where it's "general purpose transforming" stops. It encodes human concepts like emotions and spatial reasoning into words, which are incomplete analogs to how they work in the real world. It has impressive results, but comparing the value of human labor to the work AI can do is startlingly parallel to comparing the value of a database to the work a blockchain can do. It almost provides the basis for reality-distortion to investors, which is where those "marginal utility" AI/crypto companies come from.

> The second most common use case of crypto is for anonymous transactions for illegal drugs and weapons

The first most common use case of AI is for military purposes.

When you're designing a codec or some image processing pipeline, having a human in the loop is great. Designing codecs to have human-acceptable artefacts is as much art as science.
