Let's look at your profile, it says,

[insert interesting falsehoods here]

which is a confession. You insert interesting falsehoods here, on Hacker News.

You yourself confessed, in your own words, you're full of shit.

Yeah because 1% going to trial sounded a little too high, most liars go for 2%, more believable. Stanford tried 2% of the accused, 1% is pushing it. 2% annual inflation. 2% of rape accusations are false. Say 1% or 0.75% and people call bullshit.

N again, you confessed that you "[insert interesting falsehoods here]" [sic brackets]. You wrote that w brackets in the original, i don't escape brackets as this isn't coding, normally brackets when i quote are when not absolutely sure word-for-word quote, to protect the integrity of my testimony for my eventual trial. Which is getn closer n closer, any day now, the longer you wait the less time left until your day in court, n it's been more than 14 years waiting for Stanford to try me.

Sounds like a superpower bro.
You have several options for calling C functions directly from Python without having to start a separate process and communicate with it. For simple jobs when you just want to call a function or two, ctypes from the standard library is a great choice. You load a dynamic library, define the argument and return types of the function you want to call, and call it. It can even handle callbacks from C code into Python.

When you have a lot of C functions to call, having to duplicate all the declarations in Python code gets old. That's where the third-party cffi module comes in. It can parse straightforward C headers and use the appropriate types automatically. However, for complex headers (lots of macros, for example), it has to run a C compiler, which requires the machine which will run the script to have a functioning C toolchain. When using cffi, it can also be pretty easy to crash the interpreter with a use-after-free bug.

If you're already invested in the Cython ecosystem, you can use that for calling into C too. However, getting into Cython just to call a few C functions would be cracking a nut with a sledgehammer.

Finally, the nuclear option is to write a C extension module. Extension modules receive unconverted Python objects directly and can deeply integrate with the CPython interpreter. However, they also need to be compiled for a specific version of CPython, and won't necessarily work in alternative Python implementations. If you can get the job done with ctypes or cffi, you should avoid extension modules.

I use an Asus RoG X13 Flow 2022 edition, and while it has its flaws (that the 2023 edition ironed out), I run Fedora on it and it's wonderful. I use it docked most of the time, and my requirements were mostly unique.

I wanted power. This has a Ryzen 9 and 32 GB RAM. I needed a 13 inch form factor because I use external monitors and don't want to lug around a large laptop.

And for the keyboard, I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 most of the time, but I had a very specific form factor requirment as well, I wanted to be able to use the laptop with the keyboard folded up under it. This gave me the ability to do that and plop my Kinesis in front of it. More desk space!

I like the built in keyboard though and for the life of me, I don't like trackpads. I've used a Mac before and while the trackpad is nice, and I've considered attaching a Magic Trackpad to my keyboard, I'm in love with trackballs. I use a Logitech MX Ergo Plus, and it is wonderful. I use Qtile so I don't really rely on the mouse much, but when I do, the trackball is great.

But I get the appeal of a Mac. I've considered getting a 13 inch MacBook and using it to just ssh into a cloud machine for work. I'm on the fence about it, but I might do that one day and just live my life in the terminal.

The RP2040s can multitask. This is because the Arduino compatibility layer is actually built on top of MbedOS which support preemptive multitasking. You have access to the full API set of MbedOS in addition to the Arduino APIs when the code is running on an Arduino RP2040.
Why not? I could see two ways it could work.

First, it seems possible that if sources were in the training data like I described, then understanding of sources could be an emergent capability, just because the LLM reads "the source of the following is X."

Second, maybe a trainer LLM could be tasked with reading the trainee's answers and any sources it provides, and judging whether the source is correct.

But I'm no expert, hence my question.
Inconvenient Truths about TypeScript
Instead of putting up with people constantly complaining how C is bad because of zero-terminated strings, we should better educate folks that there is absolutely zero reason why one has to rely on a NUL byte in-band signal. And APIs like sscanf() shouldn't be used beyond their historic purposes and there are easier ways to program.

C doesn't really "have" zero-terminated strings other than supporting them with string literals as well as having an atrocious "strings" library for historical reasons. C has storage and gives you the means to copy data around, that's it.

(Although I fully agree that the GTA issue can be seen as a bug in the implementation of sscanf()).
California to New York burritto tunnel
I got extremely sick in 2017 for about a week. Went through about 6 boxes of tissues in that short time period and was barely able to feed myself. Only months after when someone was vaping near me did I realize I wasn't able to smell.

Only after a few years after long and intense cardio I would sometimes regain some sense of smell for about 20 minutes. Now in the last month seems to be coming back more permanently.

I'm someone who spends a lot of money on expensive perfumes like Creed and regularly burn incense in my house.

I honestly didn't feel like I was missing out on much with no sense of smell, definitely did not feel like I was missing 1/5th of the human experience. It really didn't bother me and I never went to a doctor for it. That said, I'm glad the sense is slowly coming back again.
Because it's a suble difference especially if its sugar free. I think they're trying to test your ability to differentiate "perfumed" water vs regular. Sweetened or spiced things are more of a hammer.
Totally agree.
This code-mania needs to get to an end.

Of course you can start calling your mouse "a cat", your car "a mobility device" and yourself a genius. But reality won't easily follow.
It's great to see Firefox competing on a core metric - performance. It doesn't look like a one time thing, either, I suspect an ongoing initiative to close this gap. I'd be curious to hear more about what that entails.

Something that might be less exciting is finding where Chrome beat Firefox on a benchmark and then tuning Firefox one knob at a time until it didn't, then moving on to the next benchmark - that would mean that there's not much more room to grow since it's basically just "ah, they did that we should do that". It would still be good work just not sustainable.

If it's part of a larger performance initiative I'd really like to learn more.
Ironically, this is looks like another blind spot :) The keyword in the title is "after".
The biggest reason I stick with Chrome is how easy it is to resume your work on a new machine. You just log into your Google account and boom, all of your data and extensions start syncing in the background. With Firefox, I've to log into a new FF account and then log into my Gmail again anyway. I admit I'm lazy but for me, ergonomics usually comes before ideology.

Another one that slows a lot of things down is if the application uses the console. Before you open the inspector, those methods are no-ops and just get skipped, basically, but once open, all of those strings have to get copied and it can slow things down quite a bit.

This isn't unique to the web, either, adding the verbose flag to most linux file utilities and then operating on a large set of files will be slower than without the verbose flag, too, just because printing to stdout takes time.
This is a subject I love to discuss.

Exactly. C is based around 1D memory, has no understanding of caches. All of your other arguments are true, too.

This is why most of the things; caches, memory hierarchies and other modern things are hidden from C (and other languages, or software in general) itself, to trick C, and make it think it's still running on a PDP-11.

All caches (L1, L2, L3, even disk and caches, and various caches built in RAM) are handled by hardware or OS kernels themselves. Unless they provide an API to talk with, they are invisible and untouchable, unmanageable, and this is by design (esp. the ones baked into hardware like Lx and other buffers).

All the compilers are the interface perpetuating this smoke and mirrors to not upset C about its assumptions about the machine underlying itself. Even then, a compiler can only command the processor upto a certain point. You can't say that I want these in caches, and evict these. These are automagic processes.

Exactly, because of these reason, CPUs are C VMs. They do work completely different than a PDP-11, but behave like one at the uppermost level, where compilers are the topmost layer in this toolchain.

Compilers are such a herculean feats of engineering, because we need to trick that the programs we're building, to make them think they're running on a much simpler hardware. In turn, hardware tries hard to keep this management ovherhead handled by compilers at a bare minimum while allowing higher and higher performance.

Nobody was at war with Russia over the last 20 years.

As opposed to Russian state media or deranged fringe conspiracy theorists?

If you said something like this instead:

NAZI GERMANY has made plenty of attempts at peaceful relations with its neighbors. It has been rebuffed countless times because peace with GERMANY won't make anyone any profit.

You would sound about the same as you do now. Russia is not entitled to a zone of influence in Eastern Europe, it does not own Ukraine or the Baltic States for that matter. It's objectively an imperialist pseudo-fascist revanchist state...

I understand that "at the ground level" that's all that matters. But these statistics are very useful for examining the economic heft of an entire country in the context of geopolitics. Of course if you don't care about things like that (like most people don't and have no reason to in their everyday lives) then you're correct it doesn't matter.

Every once in a while big things happen though (world wars break out, trade deals are signed, etc.) and in those cases it can pay to have the largest GDP.

> Well, did they? I know this theory but AFAIK they could trace it back to some people in Ukrainian military. Western secret services (afair from Netherlands) even warned them twice that this was being planned but they didn’t react.

Such operation can't be performed by amateurs from a rented yacht. It requires experience and resources available only to few countries on Earth.

Also, it was just a version published by Western media without any hard evidence.

> Sorry, but those are ALL mistakes made by Germans themselves.

It's not possible to tell if they are unless there's an investigation, but there would be never such an investigation because Germany is an occupied country for 78 years.

It's quite clear from the consequences, that Olaf Sholz, Annalena Baerbock, and other German politics do things that affect German industry and economics negatively at the same time improving US economy and making Germany more dependent on US.

That is the reason why most big quant hedge funds look for ghost patterns. Patterns that are not obviously at the first sight and which can be (hopefully) solely mined until the pattern disappears.

To catch onto obvious patterns you have to be not really fast but nano-microseconds fast, otherwise in a blink of an eye the price is already too high to jump in.

Unfortunately it's happening more now, simply because the value of the 90's/first generation ones are through the roof (haha get it, because it's topless?). Hard tops are now worth $2500-4000 in Miata world. Used to be you couldn't sell one for $500 or so.

Running cars are worth $5000, coupled with a hard top its worth around $7000 easily - mint/very nice ones exceed $10,000. For a 20-30yr old car, it's appreciating to exceed new cost (msrp for a 1990 miata was not even $14,000!)

Over in honda land, same thing, you used to be able to pick up a basic ek no/manual/only option is AC for less than $3,000 now those are the ones in most demand and exceed $15,000-20,000!

It was a little interesting Jim Keller's diagram in the article showed historical architecture layers of the tech stack growing for 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/2000s but didn't show anything for 2010s despite the article being apparently July 2023-published.

Was there stagnation in 2010s or what would/should those new tech stack market layers have been? I thought of a couple options for the 2010s if I were to augment the diagram but none were super-satisfactory. I might have put Web above OS in 2000s and moved CSPs to 2010s but that's a bit more of a "mainstream adoption" perspective than a "usefulness to EDA" perspective; not sure which he was quite oriented around. Integrated communications/Analog radio (3g/4g/5g/wifi) is perhaps another candidate, what with phones, IoT, becoming practically ubiquitous/required/default for the vast majority of computing devices.

(It seemed like he was suggesting AI-built code and chipsets as two new stack areas for the 2020s.)

Do you think he's missing a 2010 layer, or do you think the tech stack layers were stagnant in 2010s?

Sure, linux (the kernel, the ABI, etc) is at the heart of many things, but I think to be 'a linux' you have to be free, open, malleable, etc, and chromeOS just isn't, really. And the fact that it's more successful than 'real' linuxen is kind of damning of the whole relationship commercial entities have to FOSS.
I hear a lot of complaining about "woke content" and I think the real problem is shitty writing. There was plenty of "woke" messaging in movies and TV shows in the 90s (just look at Star Trek TNG), but the writers has the good sense to provide a layer of abstraction through allegory or metaphor.

Transposing 2023 American social problems 1:1 into a fictional universe, as many productions do today, has the effect of breaking suspension of disbelief completely. It's not interesting or insightful. To someone like myself who actually agrees with this stuff it comes off as cheap pandering. I can imagine how fucking annoying it is to see if you have a different worldview.

It also doesn't help that the veil of mystery around a writer's or director's intention is often intentionally removed by endless interviews, teasers, and press junkets. Again, the "woke" media of the 90s did not suffer from this nearly as much. What the author intended was often a mystery and up to the viewer's interpretation. Combined with the aforementioned allegory or metaphor, it made it possible to enjoy media made by someone whose views you would 100% disagree with.
