Okay, fair. Instead of perfectly, call it good enough most of the time.

People with some specific legacy need can run an old OS on a computer isolated from the rest of the network, but there's no reason to have such security-compromising backwards comparability built into every OS install by default.

We started with the TypeScript SDK to help us stay focused while we iterated and learned. As Tony said, we'll gradually expand to other languages (likely Python in the near future too!).

As for your "REST API instead of an SDK" concern, we invoke your functions so we need some code in your app. We need to handle things like memoizing steps within a function, so there needs to be some orchestration within the app
The exact same thing happened with Mastodon, maybe not at quite the same scale, but a lot of people moved over and a portion moved back or dialled back their use of Mastodon, but we're still seeing activity increase with each new wave (whenever Elon rocks the boat) and the low water mark rising.
There is just about nothing worse than deflation in a modern economy. It causes lending and discretionary spending to completely seize up which practically guarantees a recession.

> If one of the largest drivers of inflation is housing

Specifically, mortgage interest is the largest driver of inflation, accounting for 30% of the growth in CPI as of the May figures.

Probably the same reason they pushed the inflation problem off on to the BoC back in the 90s. They don't want to deal with it.

I'm not a Minecraft player so I probably can't speak to this but sometimes all I want in an existing product is infrequent updates.. little quality of life improvements, patches that keep the game running properly on modern OS/hardware, that kind of thing.

It's all we wanted from Warcraft III. They shut down the existing game and replaced it with the remaster, which had a significant number of previously present features absent or broken. Even now years later it's a zombie product that has essentially been left to die.

Again I'm not in the loop on Minecraft but I would be very surprised if Microsoft has mistreated it anywhere near as badly as Blizzard has Warcraft III.

Well see the thing is that all music that is liked by large numbers of people is also liked by small numbers of people. If you get my drift.

Most bands never get signed because nobody likes them. They play a gig to fifty people in March and when they play the same place in June twenty people show up. By fall it's just girlfriends and siblings and by the following year they're working as a roofer or something.

Artists make demos of their music and send them to people and those people don't like them, and don't play them over and over and don't share them with friends, and it never reaches the ears of people with influence because nobody cares, because it has no real connection or mass appeal.

Conversely, artists that do have mass appeal get attention very very quickly. I've been around awhile, I started working professionaly in the music business in the late 1980's. So much has changed, back then it was true that distribution mattered a lot more. In the 90's corporate radio mattered a lot more. In the 2010's you had a much clearer shot via Youtube or similar. So yeah there's substantial change in how it all works.

The basic core part is the same though. Most music doesn't even have a small chance of being genuinely popular. Because it's the kind of music that isn't really liked by mass audiences.

You're saying this:

> Most bands will never know if their music will be popular because the won't get signed to find out.

That's not true. Those bands do know that their music will not be popular. They just don't know why.
Canada calls for halt to deep-sea mining amid fears of ecological devastation
here is my example that i was involved in. a proprietary software "app" wants to build a system for doing some work. They also need some accounting to be done so instead of reinventing the wheel, they were recommended to use an agpl covered accounting software as a DB. the software would send commands and the accounting package would record them and spit out reports using api.

They were told, this use case is allowed under GPL because the proprietary software was using the agpl one as a data store without any modifications. The license requirements of code share would be enough in the license file and link to the source code. Virality would not be attached in this case

Very cool! It would be nice to see a working end to end integration with an LLM. Using this to generate relevant context for example. I see multiple folks mention cos similarity which HNSW doesn’t support - how does the lack of that limit what you can do with this library?

Also, since this is in memory, I assume this significantly affects startup time in order to rebuild the index? Would be nice to see how bad that is for larger vector datasets.

Bottom-up (maybe OP less so) for-fun collaborative (re)animations like this are most commonly called Multi-Animator Projects[1], at least presently in certain parts of the internet. They're found everywhere else you'd expect under different names. Some of the earliest web-originals are still on newgrounds and niconicodouga, but aren't easy to find.

Another name is the pattern of "/a/ draws", "/v/ draws", "r/anime draws", etc, from 4chan. Those would be the most similar ones to OP in terms of mspaint-like quality and quantity of penises[2].

> Have the people of Canada been asked what the best balance of inflation and unemployment is?

I know this is a rhetorical question, but yes people of Canada will be voting on that issue in October 2025 (or before) when they elect their government. The BoC is still very much ruled by parliment and their mandate is set by the elected party.

The reason their mandate does not change with every whim of public opinion is precisely because people don't like the medecine (high interest rates). Alternatively they also dislike high inflation and labor shortage caused by record-low unemployment.

I once built a system on laptops for use in critical on-site oil spill response operations (so billions plus environmental damage at stake if it doesn't work.) We used laptops because we needed the portability, so even the critical servers were running on laptops.

It turned out that in actual tests, the laptops were several times as reliable as actual server-class PCs, much cheaper, and came with built-in UPS. Server hardware is a racket, and if you have any redundancy at all built into your system, not really needed or desirable. I've used redundant/clustered laptops or netbooks as servers in quite a few projects since then - they're just better than server-class hardware most of the time.
"The true nature of the universe" is either about cosmology or it's (wrongly) about ontology/metaphysics. Both seem like interesting pursuits. Fitting cosmological models to massive datasets from astonomical observations seems laudable and not entirely out of reach (one approach: space- and time-localized NeRF fitting on the entire visible universe accounting for relativistic effects). It would be strange to describe discovering ontologies as learning the "true nature" of things unless you were a hardcore idealist/Platonist, but that seems more appropriate given the starting points afforded by the current state of the field and the hype that surrounds LLMs.
You can troll through the job postings of most of these companies and learn about their org structures and tech stacks. When I looked almost nothing is public other than older documentaries. Nanex had some neat wiring diagrams and a few videos clips if you google them. Don't get too excited you're not going to learn about some super secret strategy or anything.

This book was good https://www.amazon.ca/Advances-Financial-Machine-Learning-Ma... in that is sort of explains at a high level how you'd build a company to look at something like this (think it was one of the last chapters). You'll need extremely deep/skilled hardware/networking groups, data acquisitions (think packet capture to data) folks, people to clean and maintenance massive the data repos, internal tool teams, quantitative analysts, traders, management/admin, etc. At this level just getting the fiber to each exchange likely costs many many millions. When you go and look through those job postings you can sort of slot these into your mental model of this flow and start to see how it might be put together.

That book is good but if you are new to the topic it will be almost unreadable. At least it was for me. I had to read it 3-4 times over the years and still find new things as my knowledge grows.

I think you are right, but it doesn't really go against the core of what I'm saying. I'm trying to pursue an environment where we can use these labels without assumptions of criticism.

This said, I also think that the label "conservative" is thrown around a lot more because HN commenters tend to be more on the US "liberal" side of the opinion spectrum. Conservatives, thus, do stand out. This can be done with or without criticism. When I called the parent "conservative", I did so to point out that conservatives are an underserved market.

Never used MySpace. Have an Instagram account that I haven't used in probably 2 years. I just signed up for Threads to see what the hype was all about. Maybe it will be useful, maybe not.

You'd think the cost on the largest piece of debt a family hasdoubling would have a negative effect, but not in Canada to date, extend and pretend is the name of the game. The government seems set to prevent any reckoning by instructing and monitoring the banks to lessen the impact via the body that regulates them. A week ago the Financial Consumer Agency instructed banks to take steps to assist mortgage holders "The guideline sets out how FCAC expects federally regulated financial institutions to provide tailored support to consumers with mortgages on their principal residence who are experiencing severe financial difficulty."

- negative amortization
- not charging interest on any interest not being covered
- not charging too high of rates on fixed term renewals (not sure how this one works given the cost of capital on a 5yr terms is ~ 5-5.5% -> force the banks to loose money on renewals I guess?)

So maybe the strain will slow and it will shift to non regulated debt like credit cards. It will be harder to borrow for first time buyers as banks pull back. Lots of unintended consequences I'm sure.

I imagine the hope is you can pretend rates are actually not at a 20yr high by forcing the banks to not pass on the costs, and hope they go back down again the old "money is free" days. Problem is the cost of housing staying artificially high and not letting property values comes down is just forcing the housing input to inflation to be high giving the BOC tough choices. The market is seriously fucked up, a reasonable family home in a 2nd tier city is 1M which is a cost (opportunity or real) of 130k / yr (after tax) - so better hope your family income is 200-250k. If you're 20-30 forget about it, borrow money from the bank of mom and dad.

On the plus side making 5% on a savings account is now real money -> the risk free return hasn't been this high for a long time (20 yrs?). Either rates need to come down or asset prices do, but I agree that eventually something has to give.
Both are highly recommended. The field has moved on, but they still explain the history of it in a very entertaining fashion.

Real estate in Montreal is strikingly affordable given the build quality and location. I'm not sure I'll every quite understand it relative to residential real estate in New York or Austin.

It's insane that for a paltry $400k USD in Montreal you can buy a luxury 2br condo.

Although, with all the talks of interest rates... does Canada have a similar policy for mortgages where there is not true concept of a "fixed rate" mortgage for a term longer than five years? I was stunned to learn that in New Zealand mortgages aren't backed by the gov in most cases so mortgage rates are assessed every 3-5 years - which is insane.

That is not a technical recession. The Eurozone uses a definition quite similar to the US definition [0]. It's like people commenting on the internet get all of their information from other internet comments, and refuse to read actual sources. This is not ambiguous, the current definition of recession has been established for decades.

>Why doesn’t the Committee accept the two-quarter definition?

>The Committee’s procedure for identifying turning points differs from the two-quarter rule in several ways. First, we do not identify economic activity solely with real GDP, but use a range of indicators, notably employment. Second, we consider the depth of the decline in economic activity. Recall that our definition includes the phrase, “a significant decline in activity.”
