There is a diff tool called difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic

The idea is that it does not show diff based on text change, but on syntastic meaning. For that, it uses tree-sitter.

I think it still shows the trailing comma in the situation as shown in the article, but it's quite different experience than the standard text based diff.
I got into web accessibility early in my career, and would've probably done a lot more work there if anyone anywhere had given two shits. Trying to prioritise even basic stuff like alt text or keyboard shortcuts for the most important parts of a site were not interesting to any employers. Accessibility is really just an afterthought even when companies claim to be doing it.

This is actually one of the reasons I was drawn to Ruby over Python. Ruby also has the GIL but jRuby is an excellent option when needed.
One of my "favorite" threads, or at least one that stuck with me. Can't believe it was so long ago. Around that time I was working on my PhD and for some reason I needed a lenient JSON parser. I took one implemented in Python and made basically the same thing, but not as nicely and didn't release it. And after reading the thread I was glad that I didn't share my code.

Also reminds me of some comments on the Nuitka Python compiler ("completely misguided"), Vlang, and multiple other projects. Some projects against conventional wisdom, but for others I'm not sure why they elicit such nerd rage.

If the window even applies here, it expanded the moment Google initiated all of this publicly.

That’s my thinking, too. I’ve recently been using ts-rest.com for a relatively small project at work (<20 API endpoints, NextJS frontend, Postgres). Its been such a joy writing the “source of truth” as API “contracts”, and having everything else just work.
With zero added effort, I get fetch/react-query clients 100% typesafe. Request & response validation on the API layer (which can easily be moved from eg NextJS API routes to Express or another framework). OpenAPI spec. Typescript and Zod types. All of that for free, without repeating myself. I like it a lot.
I don't think there is an exception. Zsh still applies word splitting on process substitution (I suppose this is more natural here).
No, I think what I was missing was some insight into the symbology or themes.

My copy of Master and Margarita has such incredible endnotes, without which I really dont think I would have appreciated it.

My Penguin Classics copy of Karamazov just has very short translation clarifications and didn't really improve my experience.

I understand why you might think i meant abridged though, since I was saying that the book is a slog but that it had great passages. I personally didnt mind the length as much as I felt I wasn't getting the most out of the "boring" parts.

> Rather than each of K startups individually buying clusters of N gpus, together we buy a cluster with NK gpus... Then we set up a job scheduler to allocate compute

In theory, this sounds almost identical to the business model behind AWS, Azure, and other cloud providers. "Instead of everyone buying a fixed amount of hardware for individual use, we'll buy a massive pool of hardware that people can time-share." Outside of cloud providers having to mark up prices to give themselves a net-margin, is there something else they are failing to do, hence creating the need for these projects?

If accuracy isn't as important as speed for you, you can sample 1000 points and pick the smallest one. This point will probably be smaller than 99% of the function, but I wouldn't recommend deploying this in production.

> You have a single big data structure that can't be shared easily between multiple processes. Can't you use multiprocessing with that? Maybe mapping the data structure to a file and mmapping that in multiple processes? Maybe wrapping the whole thing in database instead of just using one huge nested dictionary?

ton of additional complexity, not worth it for many use-cases and anything on the line of "using multiple processes or threads to increase python performance" does have (or at least did have) quite a bunch of additional foot guns in python

In that context porting a very trivial ad-hoc application to Java (or C# or Rust, depending on what knowhow exist in the Team) would faster or at least not much slower to do. But it would be reliable estimable by reducing the chance for any unexpected issues, like less perf then expected.

Basically the moment "use mmap" or "use multi-processing" is a reasonable recommendation for something ad-hocish there is something rally wrong with the tools you use IMHO.

You mean the ones who also invested in Theranos, WeWork, and FTX? They don’t always make the wisest investment decisions. They’re not complete idiots, but they’re sucsceptible to same biases and misjudgements as the rest of us. And I’m sure they‘re aware of some or all of WC’s flaws, and are just investing b/c Sam Altman, or because they invested back in the 2018-2021 crypto bubble. There’s also some time pressure, they’ve gotta put that money somewhere within a year (standard VC LP contract), or give it back.

> Perhaps it takes a little more effort to understand than just piling on to the reflexive groupthink cynicism which passes for conventional wisdom around here.

Molly already put extensive effort into just that in the OP, as did several other folks she references and links to. If you have any critiques of her critiques and why she may be wrong, love to hear it. But without that, it’s not her or us that’s being reflexive here.
This is the stuff of horror movies, so much can go wrong. How are they even able to acquire such material without some oversight?
> By the same token, you had no ability to conceive of any original character before it was shown to you; why would an AI art model be any different?

I've yet to see a LoRA produce a meaningfully diverse and high quality range of interpretations based on just a single piece of character key art, or brief appearance in a trailer, the way the conventional fan-artists do. What actually happens is that those conventional artists produce a wide variety of interpretations, someone scrapes those hundreds or thousands of images, and then trains a model using that dataset instead. The model needs the variety and novelty that the human artists bring to the table, otherwise it would just over-fit to the official art.

When I was looking for examples of Zelda AI art I noticed there is a LoRA for Purah, and the first version was posted on CivetAI not when her TOTK design was revealed, nor when the game came out, but a month later when there was a wide enough corpus of existing fanart to scrape together a decent model with. It only works by piggybacking off the non-AI artists effort.
Is there anything like a source port of Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat?

It was correctly written to the invariant promises of the platform at the time. If Python is altering the deal, that does not suddenly make the library writer at fault.
In American law, the right to speak is assumed. It is the lack of a right to speech that is the exception. There are only a handful of categories of unprotected speech, which can be easily enumerated, and lies aren't one of them.

Yes, absolutely. Nobody else will trust it, but you can always set up your own CA for use by computers you use.

Sometimes I wonder, when did HN went so wrong and is full of comments that do not further the discussion but purely result into flamewar and ridiculous homilies.
They probably have, but that doesn’t mean they have the necessary data to actually address the confounds. Often there is a trade off between what is most provable and what is most novel. Publishing incentives being what they are, novel invariably wins.
I think the fundamental disconnect here is that Google's view of "user" is a "Chrome/Android User Who Shops from SERP Pages" -- google makes money vs the more nebulous "user" of "the (open) web" which is probably only understood by a few people who were alive in the pre-web world (people 35 and older who were also online).

Google does not care about the later and only wishes to make more money from the former. Google has a clear and blatant monopoly position over ad-based web monetization so most of the web will follow Google's will. We all need paychecks. The group of old farts who saw the world change are growing older and irrelevant.

I am extremely pessimistic about the future of "the (open) web" as the vehicle of our modern low-friction economy as these corporate gatekeepers (Google and Microsoft) are making such big wins recently.

Good luck out there. The World Wide Web (old school) and Old Fashioned HTTP+HTML are under grave threat from carpetbaggers.

May I suggest something like "Enterprise Environment Integrity". How does the public know that the enterprise (i.e. google) it's dealing with is healthy?

> This argument would suggest that anything which can be represented digitally is therefore of minimal value.

Uh, not really like that. The original was about value in comparison, not an absolute value. I don't really see what's immediately wrong with an idea that anything digital has questionable value compared to its clones generated by a trained neural network (but absolute value of those could be still very high). It could be wrong - but it's not immediately obvious to me.
This sounds like a great way to get lots of people to run old software. I'm sure most people wouldn't even bat an eyelid when they go on to install an out of date browser to make sure a website they want to visit works.

Security people can complain as much as they want, but it's these kinds of anti-user practices that makes users hate updating.
> Why people start to cry for regulation whenever they see something new these days?

Interesting. Why are the conditions to join the eu shit? What’s the purpose? And how does it correlate to a steady stream of convenient immigrants from within the eu towards other states within the union? And why is it always the same states that attract? During the brexit campaign no one asked why people are leaving. What causes such massive displacement of people within the eu?
It's worth understanding the problem it purports to solve in order to properly dismiss it. WEI positions itself in a way that sounds ambiguously like it might ever serve the user's purposes, and a clear framing of the problem statement would make it more obvious that it does not serve the user at all.

For instance, one of the framings of WEI is that it gives advertisers a way to verify the client so they don't "have" to do fingerprinting. Except WEI does nothing to take away fingerprinting, so advertisers will then have fingerprinting and WEI. (Even if it did simultaneously take away fingerprinting it would still not be OK, but the current framing is not even offering the user benefit it claims to offer.)
> Maybe I don't want my main phone to stop working?

You are conflating the alleged benefit of locking down devices to assure users don't break them [1], with websites and services getting the ability to remotely verify your software/hardware stack is "approved", and block you if it isn't.

It's not about what you want - it's about taking away your ability to choose. The "fun toys" that can be modified to your liking will get increasingly useless as they'll be blocked from large chunks of the web, especially after Google will start pushing WEI if sites want ad revenue, under the logic of preventing click-fraud.

[1] There are plenty of ways to limit unlocking to the technically-savvy, and making it tamper evident to the owner (e.g. a "bootloader unlocked" notification during boot), and many existing phones implement them, so any claims by phone or other device manufacturers that making devices impossible to unlock are outright lies.

Good luck getting another server to accept your post without cryptographic attestation of its origin.
It's not ideal, but in practice GZIP base64 is only marginally larger than GZIP binary
The use case I'm thinking about is very simple: One big data structure that is mostly read from and sometimes written to. Use a single mutex with a shared lock for reading and an exclusive lock for writing. Then the readers are safe and would only block during updates when one writer is active. Everything else beside the data structure can be per-thread and wouldn't interfere.

The problem why we wouldn't want to port this application to another language is 100k lines of existing code that is best written in Python and no resources to rewrite all that.

This has probably been discussed before but GenX is definitely divided into 3 subgroups because of technology. My older brother born in the mid 60s didn't see a computer in school until he graduated in 1984. I was given lessons on a TRS-80 in 3rd grade, then Apple IIs and finally Macs by when I graduated in 1990. Someone born 7 years later than me (1979, the last year of GenX) played with the NES as their first console and the web, email and mobile phones were a thing by the time they graduated in 1997.

The rate of change in 20 years is astounding, especially how they affected children. Those of us who were techies actually lean more towards the latter because we were excited by the tech and more readily adopted it. There are many in my cohort who didn't really use the internet regularly until their first smartphone in the 2010s, as crazy as that seems.
> You cannot denigrate somebody's achievements because you disagree with what they have to say outside of them.

That’s right.

In the past, for read-only data, I’ve used a disk file and relied on the the OS page cache to keep it performant.

For read-write, using a raw file safely gets risky quickly. And alternative languages with parallelism runs rings around python.

So getting rid of the GIL and allowing parallelism will be a big boon.
