Our modern world has people working the night shift, service workers that finish around midnight (restaurants) or in the middle of the night (bars), people on vacation or who don't work and stay up late, night people who get to make up their own schedule, etc.

The fact that working a 9-5 is the social norm doesn't mean everyone does that.

Go doesn't differ a ton from other programming languages but there are definitely a couple of things. I think when it comes to bit manipulation, my favorite detail about Go is the built-in AND NOT operator, which also has a corresponding compound assignment operator. It's mentioned in here, but I think it's worth calling out: not all languages have it, but it's a good addition.

As someone who worked for many years in the music business and has seen all sorts of stuff I am extremely skeptical. But I guess anything is possible eventually.

With that said I wonder if they are suffering from a base rate problem.

The problem is that hit songs are VERY rare. If you feed people a ratio of 50% hits and 50% random stuff you might get solid numbers just by asking a guy named Bob what he thinks too. Hits are fairly distinctive when compared to random DIY music. So Bob will just pick the professional sounding stuff and Bob will be mostly right.

To be useful though you’d have to feed the system 20,000 songs, of which 100 are highly professionally produced songs from people who are competent and then identifying which 5 of those 100 are going to be hits, as well as the one fluke hit that’s in the DIY pool.

I bet it can’t do that.

I concur, and I'm like you, but I also think we're edge cases. I believe most people are like your friend, which is why these studies of the gen pop usually turn out the way they do.
Another approach is adding filenames after a "--" terminating option. Most, though not all, commands support it, like:

Makes sense, though. There isn't much incentive to be a mod on a massive subreddit. The users don't care about you. Reddit doesn't care about you. About all you get in return is some laughs when you strike the ban hammer, which doesn't incentivize good faith moderating.

Challenges in Building an AI Challenge
There's a good chance you're right! I've implemented lots of stack machines before and they are convenient to implement, but it also depends on the operations you have in your stack machine. This architecture is capable of representing a stack really easily on the tape using pointers, while also being able to describe any number of memory operations with the same base instructions. I think the equivalent simple-stack-instruction-set might be more limiting in terms of how you're able to use the data on the stack for the same comparable complexity of instructions, compared to an architecture like this where you can move the tape head arbitrarily and interact with the memory in a more free manner while still achieving the same things. I think a stack machine is a subset of this machine.

I found it very simple to implement when I went to port it to the web in Rust and also when I wrote the implementation for the genetic algorithm in Python. You're right that it could be designed for better ease of use, but I was worried most about ease of compilation first and the capacity to express common programming paradigms second. Most of the ease-of-use stuff should be accomplished by the frontend language attached to the architecture.

Thanks for the feedback!!
I haven't tried any others (yet). I would be open to suggestions. Currently I only have 3 paying users and I will probably just throw in the towel. I will leave the files online for a long time and let everyone know so they have ample time to migrate elsewhere.
> This saddens me because my reasons for starting the site are the exact opposite of piracy! I was sick of artists getting paid virtually nothing for streaming service plays, so I decided to buy full albums directly from the artist as much as I could.

Ironically, by buying instead of pirating, you directly funded the legal and corporate environment that killed your service.

You don't necessarily need port forwarding to torrent, but if everyone was behind a VPN without port forwarding the network wouldn't work.

For two peers to connect, at least one needs to be reachable by the other. Behind a VPN that requires port forwarding, so if you don't have it you rely entirely on peers that are reachable.
Exactly! You shouldn't need to remember classes for styling native HTML elements, and neither should you be forced to type out <button class="button"></button>, where you would be repeating yourself.
> In fairness, a lot of people were probably conditioned pre-answering machine to phone calls being a less common thing and that if you didn't pick up, who knows who called and why?

I grew up during this transition, phone calls to our family's landline were considered important so you'd always pick up when it rang.

Fast forward to nowadays: I actively ignore phone calls. I don't live in the US so never had the nightmarish experience of robocalls all the time, and still if some number which is not my immediate family's or close friend's calls me without a previous heads-up (can be just a message "can I call you around time X?") I ignore it.

I don't know what it is about phone calls but they became increasingly disruptive, even without robocalls there are a lot of marketing calls, phone companies trying to upsell me, some random recruiter trying to reach me during working hours. Picking up the call takes me to a different universe, I simply don't want to be interrupted like that.
I like having a 4k monitor with a somewhat underpowered video card for the task. Most games that are graphically intense let you set the 3D render scale to something lower. At 70% render scale I get the benefit of sharp 4K text and UI stuff but with the 3D parts being closer to 1440p resolution. Upscaling can be really ugly at lower pixel densities, but rendering 1440p scale on 4K is hardly distinguishable from 1440p native, in my experience.
It's just odd to see code I worked on in a very small way back in the 1990s - the molecular dynamics program NAMD - be used in AMD marketing literature.
Migration from Docker Compose to Kubernetes. How, why, and problems encountered
At least as big an issue for Lemmy and Kbin is community migration. A server that hosts a popular community shutting down is a very real risk, and simply telling users to switch doesn't scale. (No, not everything needs to scale, but it would be better if that did.)

I would not be surprised if Spotify themselves get the audio from the source via RSS/Atom.

No doubt the podcast creator may have to create an account and tell Spotify manually (and also on Apple, Google, etc), but once the feed is in their system the creators/producers just need to update things in one place and all the 'distribution points' get the new episode.

Show HN: Arguably – The best Python CLI library, arguably
I spent the past few weeks working on arguably. It uses your function signatures and docstrings to create a CLI.

I built it to have the most common features of other libraries (and a few extra) in a much more concise syntax - no need for @click.option or typer.Option.

It succeeds when you barely notice it's there.

For most cases, you decorate a function with @arguably.command, and it just does what you'd expect:

* Positional args for the function become positional CLI args
* Keyword-only args become --options
* Type hints set up parsing
* Docstrings provide help messages for each command and argument

This also means it's good at making a script into a CLI without any integration at all, like Python Fire does. Just run `python3 -m arguably your_script.py` to give your script a CLI.

This is my first time making an open-source project with real testing and documentation, definitely a learning experience. mkdocs didn't work for me at first, so I wrote some wild workarounds: https://treykeown.github.io/arguably/contributing/#building-...
#!/usr/bin/env tclsh

puts $argv

I kinda wanted to stop reading after this example. It feels dishonest to start with an example for which there is a builtin. Why didn't you show instead how to output arguments joined by a comma or some other separator instead of space.
If I were to update the Go or Python examples to use another separator, it'd be just a 1-2 character change, whereas for Tcl I have no idea how that would look.
How and why? And by whom?
I am not entirely certain you aren't joking. Everything you mention is felt by the layman and it is comically daft that you would assume it requires some kind of special power.

Getting these things right takes extra effort. If the customer didn't care, it would not be done.

Certainly, not every layman will be able tell you in so many words WHY it's nice and everyone cares about different things in a product (while it's the designers job to care about all of them)

But that was not really the contention now, was it.
Haha nope, Tesla Model 3. The back seat is juuust wide enough to lie down in the back for a nap. I’m 6’2” so it wouldn’t be comfortable overnight but for half an hour it is enough.
I think it's worth pointing out here that we (on HN) are not average users.

I have had a number of actually average users asking me about the Reddit blackouts recently. Most of them don't know of Reddit beyond the first party app. 3 or 4 didn't even know Reddit had a website. None of them could even comprehend how you could use a third party app to access Reddit and their minds were blown when I told them that Reddit didn't have an app at all originally and the Reddit app today was originally Alien Blue.

For most people, the word "service" doesn't even enter into their minds. It's an app. It either does what they want or it doesn't. The inability for many in our group, including myself, to comprehend and understand this is why the fediverse, Linux, crypto for non-investment/gambling purposes, etc. continue to fail to gain much popularity. For most people, they don't care how it works... they only care that "it just works".
How do you use the xreal? Looks interesting, never heard of it before.

Is it mostly an entertainment thing or do you actually do work with it?

Hows the pixel density? Does a virtual monitor look as good as a real 2k screen?

I've managed to work on two TCL codebases in my career, one in 1992ish, and one in 2011ish. I was very surprised to be working on it the second time! I've said it before, but working on TCL is interesting, kinda fun, and ultimately a lesson in frustration once you get to a certain sized codebase. It really hammered home the need for static typing as your repo gets over 50k lines because it is so "type free". However, it is a cool thought experiment for it's premise, which is more-or-less, "what if everything is a string". It has a lot of benefits, and a lot of nasty side effects. I'm glad I spent time doing it, and I think the use case for which it was made ("Tool Control" roughly speaking) it has good ideas. TK was fun, as well, I miss it in some ways. But ultimately, I find TCL is a dead end for a programming language - the negatives accumulate too quickly.
A Practical Way to Benchmark Quantum Controllers
This looks amazing, thank you!

It just needs to be posted as a main aggregator at https://join-lemmy.org, or even better, on the right hand side panel on every Lemmy instance.

I know this would be a centralized database of communities (which is probably frowned upon in the fediverse) but I don't think there's a sensible way around it.
Curious, if it manages to classify real data correctly after such learning.
The only acceptable approach to moderation is one you can opt out of. Don't want a spam filter - fine, you're on your own.

Having to choose between politically charged "you can't read that" gatekeepers is a dystopian nightmare. Yes you can make your own, but next thing you know is "block this list of servers or we block you".
Tcl is a little gem of programming lore, an ugly duckling story where the ducklings are LISPs instead.

One of the most mind-blowing things to me as a (perpetual) Tcl noob is that when you look at

proc my_function {x} {
puts $x
}

You are lead to believe it is an ordinary C-inspired language with an odd syntax. It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize that

proc my_other_function "x" "puts \$x"

Is equivalent to the former. Other little oddities like `upvar` are beautiful once you understand them. It has some warts but Tcl has never had the luxury of under the scrutiny that languages like Python or Ruby have had. This is one of the reasons I would really like to see a "modern" version of Tcl more suitable for programming in the large---something that happened to Python 3 almost as an accident, imho.
Fresh quote from the CEO this morning:

Rush also said during the interview, "You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed."

"Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything," he added. "At some point, you’re going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules."[0]

The language originated as a common language for semiconductor design tools.

Ousterhout saw that a number of design tools he was involved with all had ad hoc languages, so he developed Tcl as a single common solution to the 'scripting language problem'. This is partly why the language is designed to be as easily embeddable as it is.

Post this origin, Tcl developed a modicum of broader fame through Tk (one of the best/easiest early X11 toolkits) and expect (which is a tool for automating control of command line interactive tools).
It's more that at the time you could disagree on some things where now only one view is acceptable. The Overton window has narrowed substantially on certain subjects.

Given all the human pain and suffering economists have wrought may I suggest we insist they stay in their own wheelhouse? Also, it's easy to look back, with statistics, and say had we approved a successful drug/treatment earlier then we could have saved lives. That's survivor bias as it ignores all the treatments that were found to be ineffective or worse and what those effects would have been had they been administered to a wider group earlier.

Yeah, this is an issue with way more science than anyone (esp scientists) is comfortable acknowledging

In grad school I encountered experiment after experiment, paper after paper where the authors went around emphasizing the parts which were statistically “sexy” while ignoring glaring issues like this

It’s almost like the methodology for creating science is more rigorous than the science itself

Sometimes the sample is too small. Sometimes they assume a correlation that doesn’t exist. It’s troubling and was a large part of why I left academia
It's not.

Indeed, "predictive accuracy" on simulated data is largely a meaningless metric in any case. The simulation's set up determines the predictive accuracy of any model of it.

The only value of this metric, post-simulation, is to determine whether or not an experiment is worth the ROI -- ie., it's essentially a way of determining whether some set of premises (simulated) are possibly consistent with a given predictive project.
I love going to the movies alone or a restaurant alone. Sometimes when I have half a day without family around these are exactly the activities that I choose to undertake. It’s not rare.
The central idea is that it is simple. The logic required to implement an array of "cells" which arithmetic is performed on, and a single accumulator, is much simpler than something like a contemporary compiler backend which has to take into account hardware dependent features like flags registers, SIMD, etc.

I think the Turing tape reflects Some Great Mathematical Truth®, but not any more than any other equivalent paradigm like lambda calculus. In truth, lambda calculus is much better and more elegant, but it would be much harder to compile down to target architectures directly unlike this Turing-tape-based solution. Most hardware implements at least one register that can index some large array of cells (RAM) and an accumulator; this is very easy to target using my architecture. I tried to come up with a model that could represent how we do computation on hardware well.
Pretty nice. I wonder why ChromeOS Flex is not certified on any Intel NUC newer than the NUC 8.
> It feels like that's already true for Spotify

I vehemently disagree. This may be true for the general case of music listener but there is a long tail (of both listeners and musical works) that Spotify is very very bad at.
We are a social species, but we also heavily compare ourselves to others.

The quickest solution might be to remove yourself from others so that you don’t mentally make the comparison. The best long term solution might be to form the social bonds.

And sometimes you need to tackle the short term solution to change your mood in order to enact the long term solution.
So at first glance, this is a Javascript wrapper around a bunch of open-source LLM Docker images? Correct me if I'm wrong. How is this different from OpenLLM?
Before we go in circles, one definition of loneliness is the difference between the amount (and depth) of social connection desired and the amount obtained.

There are two variables, both adjustable. Loneliness is eliminated is when that delta is small or zero.

If you’re an introvert and don’t desire social connection and have none, you’re fine. But being in a situation that reminds you of your lack sometimes creates that desire, which creates that delta.

Likewise, if you’re an extrovert, you desire lots of social connection and when it falls below what you actually have you feel sad.

We can’t always control the amount of social connection we get due to circumstances, but we can sometimes control the amount of desire we have by avoiding triggers that remind us.
