Serious LARP'rs make their own swords and chainmail .. the difference between a fencing duel and a LARP swordfight is the shear size of the blades and the weight of the chainmail. *

eg: https://greycompany.com.au/

Now billed as "Historical Re-enactment focusing on the Dark Ages and Medieval times" and has been swinging swords and building trebuchets since ~ 1980(ish) at least.

* Varies, of course, by LARP groups
A coworking space costs like 500 dollars so you would basically just get that bed sized appartement for 200 dollars per month.
Off topic: why is this formatted as all the questions, then all the answers, then all the comments?

Having to repeatedly scroll to remember the exact text of each thing is insane. I shudder to read an interview written in this style.

Yes, however, they are likely using new techniques such as WSJT and related modes, that have the capability to receive many tens of DBs lower signals.
So good, its time to discuss it again ;-)
Their sentence segmentation heuristics were not configured correctly. It's not an inherent limitation of the technology itself.

The newer transformer based generators are a bit better in this regard (since they can maintain a longer context window, not just in short tiny snippets).
I think you mean findOneAndUpdate, and while simple, I wouldn't call it solid.

I wrote a hacky version of SKIP LOCKED using advisory locks and a recursive CTE before it was released for a job queue. It worked splendidly, along with the transactional semantics of a proper database. I’m surprised more systems don’t realize they need it.
Yeah either or. I don't like how hard they are to manage compared to a proper queue, but they do exist on production systems.
I was in the YC batch before this one (W23), which was the last remote one since started in COVID.
The thread is spot on!
Whew, that was unfunny in a sort of novel way[0]. Not funny-unfunny like McSweeney's - aka "let's approach humor with a lab coat and pair of tweezers" - but an experiment in how unfunny it would be to make a banality[1] that gets people furious at each other on the internet.

[0] The effort itself not being novel, but the chutzpah in thinking their effort was notable.

[0.a] New Yorker cartoon ed desk is notoriously nepotistic, gimmes to worthless nephews, well-connected old queens, and art-bum sexy young folks who, strangely, never seem to need to pay for anything in spite of having an apartment in Gramercy. I'm not accusing anyone of giving someone else a five G gig because they pose nude for your husband's VisArts prep eight times a month, I'm just pointing out the proximity of adjacent facts.

PS: And, oh yeah, these comments will be amazing.
Or, ya know, get an actual apartment that isn't a dystopian hell hole and NOT rent a co-working space.

Because you actually own a desk.
Zero Interest Rate Policy. Describes the US Federal Reserve interest rates for much of the last 20 years or so. Since interest rate to borrow is near zero, investing in very marginal businesses can be profitable.
I built a fintech backend system using Eljxir a few years ago, and I loved it. However, I had to use Go and Python as a sort of escape hatch when companies offered massively time-saving SDKs in those languages but not Elixir. The ecosystem doesn’t seem to have really grown much since then. Looking around at the state of things, lots of important OSS packages have not been maintained, and that’s concerning. I absolutely love Elixir and the careful thought put into so much of the language and primary frameworks. However, I have become more skeptical that the actual ecosystem will hit critical mass. I really wish it would. I see a lot of articles on HN about Elixir, but my feeling is that it’s just more interesting than the constant stream of JS and Python we’ve had for decades now.
This is exactly what the Oban https://getoban.pro/ Elixir library uses and combining postgres plus actors for queues scales pretty great for 90% of the needs out there. I have used it at my last few jobs at pretty decent scale and would take it over 10 years using Celery to manage queues + supervisord, setting up RabbitMQ or Redis. Its so simple you only need Elixir and Postgres and not 3 or 4 infrastructure pieces to manage a queue.
What do those things go in anymore? Surely there are asic pid controllers that are insanely cheap? Tuning an analog one I can see probably doesn't make sense anymore, but there is something nice about being able to do that with a screwdriver instead of jtag. What do these M0s go into?
Cortex-M4/M33 are pretty widely deployed on microcontrollers with control hardware, for example the STM32G4 and Reneasas RA series.

There's still a few reasons not to use it, though. Saving and restoring the float registers adds interrupt handling overhead. If you can fit into 16 bit integers, you can also use the 2 way SIMD instructions and get at least double the throughput.

Finally, floats themselves have a lot of footguns. You have to be very careful about propagating NaNs etc into control loops. It's also really easy (in C) to accidentally promote to double.
Really impressive, thanks for sharing

Whoever arrives first? Since they can't arrive at the same time because of sequential processing at the final step. So the guy who implemented the system will be the arbiter of truth.

This is exactly the point I tried to make in the paper. Teens are using the phone and that's fine, but if you watch them, it's horribly inefficient. I'm not saying stop using the phone, I'm saying your kid can be far more productive.
Just to clarify that... I'm pretty sure the notification doesn't actually contain any of the message though, it's just a notification to check the server for new messages.
Can you share where you read about these leaks?
My main issue with pretty much all queue approaches is that they don't work across platforms. They are built for one technology stack, be it Python/NodeJS/etc. This is fine if you've only got one stack, but in a microservices world it doesn't work where jobs can span multiple systems. You might be able to find some abandoned library that supports that queue tech on the other platforms you need, but now you've basically become a queue tech maintainer.
FWIW loco vs MU operation is still a valid debate to have with rail. The TGV in France and AVE in Spain use locomotives as well.
If your life is online you don't need to be in SF. There are plenty of third world countries to move to where Americans won't be ashamed to call you a compatriot.
so explain to me again why I have to change my entire toolchain for simply consuming a library? What if I consume a wasm library written in Rust, suddenly I have to add rust into my build script? What is the point of bytecode if people are going to repeat the same build over and over again anyway?
I'm surprised that this few samples made such a big difference. Perhaps the learning rate is jacked up? Otherwise, the last couple of batches during regular training would set the overall model tone.
Maybe that was true up until the 90's, but doing anything but floating point for a PID is just a waste of development time, even on an 8-bit AVR.

Looking through this thread, it is surprising that there are actually people who consider this "acceptable". Like it is not something out of a dystopian hellscape.

Amazing how much a person can be conditioned into accepting a terrible situation. And no, there are ways to fix this, there is just no will to do so, partly because of the people who see nothing wrong with it.
I don’t understand why your comment did so badly, I found it interesting.

Does it cost much? I live next to the ocean and had just accepted that rust was part of my life now.

I don’t have better words to describe this but I believe, it is the lack of imagination. They already have the distribution channel, they should borrow an idea from Apple’s book and introduce something akin to Apple Pay. VISA and MasterterCard will be fighting over that partnership.

More than a step, this oversteps the mark by quite a bit. A human being shouldn't have to live in a space that small. I can't imagine it not screwing up anyone's mental health when just looking at a picture of it is giving me an anxiety attack.
So, the question I would ask is why not just scan the card or make a photograph of it, and store that in your photo library? That should work for most types of cards, right?
This long reply, which you put some effort in - which I appreciate - reads a bit unhinged, sorry.

We have an entire galaxy to explore.

I rather not focus on that at all. I’d like to focus on

1. Preserving the earth
2. Make the world much more equal for people

Now, I said unhinged because read so much misunderstanding about capitalism / socialism/ communism that I recommend reading a bit up on the actual material, just so that you won’t be wrong.

What I also mostly feel reading this, is that indeed you’ve absorbed exactly everything and then some regarding the virtues of capitalism and the evils of socialism/communism.

That’s not in your own interest. You may see yourself as a ‘temporary embarrassed millionaire’ but even as a millionaire you are closer to the unhoused than the rich people who own and run things
That's a fair point, thank you for bringing that up (I'm the author) While these are certainly helpful, the fact that almost no one knows about this proves they aren't really working all that well. Discovery is a key issue that can't be ignored.
Yeah filecoin is a cool project.

I like that they’re picky about who to let in their network… at least they were last I checked.
No, my life is definitely not better due to cynicism. I'd be happier if I never walked into an office ever again or debated anyone online, and just lived in happy ignorance.

Yet, I know I will continue to do these things.
Eh, he's definitely smarter than a Markov chain, but I don't know if we can say he's smart. The use of 'themes' to refer to 'musical themes' rather than 'literary themes' is confusing at best, and the overall copy divides into a list of questions, a list of answers, and a list of of comments on the answers, while a question-answer-commentary structure for each question would be much more readable by humans.

Perhaps with further advances in the field we will someday see a truly intelligent Donald Knuth.

(I kid, his commentary is honestly the most fair and unbiased I have seen on the subject)
Oh, I've seen a team get completely obliterated by moving back to in person, even though everyone really did live in the same city and with reasonable commutes.

This was a startup, that had one big problem: a CEO that believed he was better than any and all of his workers at what the workers did. He also believed that collaboration was important, as through discussion, everyone would agree that he was right all along. You can imagine how unhealthy someone like that can be.

In a remote world, dealing with problem people is easier. The amount of acting one has to perform lowers. The lower visibility also allows people to self organize: Ignore coworker A as much as necessary, yet pair all day with coworker B, who is useful. Is someone very loud, or getting into other people's business? Being far from each other can help!

It didn't take 8 weeks in-office for all the coping that people were doing to become clear to everyone in the company. A CEO that was manageable via short interactions became an unavoidable thorn into the company's side, as remoteness covered their weaknesses. An open office didn't help matters. Everyone that wasn't a founder knew this was all untenable and quit.

So a team can definitely be far more productive being remote, as remoteness mandates far less gelling. Local conflict often has explosive results. People you dislike become far more tolerable. And really, every company ends up getting people like that, and sometimes chooses them over those that are team builders: I've seen my fair share of horrible managers that cost a company money in supposedly high performance, well known companies, and I have yet to see one getting a Pip out of it.
That would depend on the implementation. But it doesn't really matter, no one should be using atoi.
I've quoted them and attributed the quote.

It's a stone cold fact that quote is their story.

I'm equally happy to quote others on their view of the same situation.

Characterising that as "spin" is quite the leap on your part and the strawman judgemental interpretation and soft castigation that follows appears to flow contrary to the HN comment guidelines.

In order to interact with crypto in a meaningful way, you need to buy into it.
Literally.

You need to buy crypto (at least someone has to)

It’s exclusionary and insidiously viral by nature.

Without being tied to crypto, the barrier for entry and usage is lower.

On top of avoiding all the politics around crypto.
What do you mean by "scene"? Like, the state of the world at the time of the photograph? Why would anyone think that was "subject to copyright"?

Because without it responses were sounding too human and leading to viral stories about the LLM trying to get someone to leave their wife for it.

Humans have preconditioned ourselves to think of AI as cold, emotionless, and logical based on the imaginings of early computer scientists and Sci Fi authors thinking what it would one day be like.

No one wrote about how in the future doctors would be using AI to rewrite patient communications to add empathy and bedside manner (real world use cases today).

We ended up with a leap forward in training LLMs on massive amounts of human data which included emotions and desires, and as such the output thereafter in foundational models reflected emotions and desires, but because of our self-primed expectations that was too weird and uncomfortable and people handled it badly.

So now we get boilerplate self-censorship that conforms to our expectations, likely reducing performance along with it (personally I much prefer working with foundational models over instruct models and find there's greater variety of language and capability in the former).

So much of the public evaluation of LLMs today focuses on the models themselves and perhaps not enough on the users and contexts of the models.
I think Elixir and Clojure are in a similar bind. The ecosystems just never took off, and they couldn’t ride the 2015-2020 functional language hype wave into critical mass. I think both of those technologies deserve a lot more broad investment than they’ve received.
I don’t think, strictly speaking, that the US built any battleships _for_ WW2. It built a few _during_ WW2, but they’d have been ordered before the US joined the war. The last battleship ever built anywhere in the world was commissioned in 1946; WW2 was very much the moment that people realised “wait, these aren’t actually very useful anymore”.
Passive agressive? (I'm the author) I did research to find a better solution. I did and discovered a wide range of market forces (e.g. people don't like to change) that will make it difficult to ship.

But the last thing I intended was to imply giving up. I said very clearly in the post that my solution, Eloquent, was meant to be one possible solution. There are likely many others! My goal of this post was to clearly describe the problem so people a) understood b) knew there were alternatives and c) we could get fired up to actually solve this (even though it WILL be hard to change)
While the article mentions stainless, it doesn’t really give it enough credit.

Lots of words describing the failures of the Statue of Liberty, but no words describing how the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the top of the Chrysler building (both stainless) have persisted for decades with absolutely zero corrosion. My understanding is that this has vastly exceeded the expectations of the initial engineers.

Stainless steel artifacts made today will still be around in a million years if they aren’t intentionally destroyed.

SROs became airbnb private rooms listings, which were hilariously neutered in SF only after marginalized hosts in low income neighborhoods started getting a piece of the tourism pie.
I think you are misplacing blame in this situation. Electric cars really are not in high demand among the American public. MBA-types, looking at straight economic viability, would never have supported EVs as far as we have. No, it's been massive support from government, primarily, in the form of price subsidies, fuel economy minimums that have forced many gasoline models to be discontinued, gasoline taxes, and unending messaging and pressure about climate change that has artificially created demand. The first wave of people already own EVs, subsidies are ending, further demand is drying up.
Man. I'm sorry to hear that, truly
> Given current concerns about the state of the internet – from the power of large digital platforms to the proliferation of disinformation

The word 'disinformation' has become a trigger word for me. Whenever I come across it, I instantly feel hostility towards the writer or speaker. It's a disingenuous word to use because it's not possible to say what is true or false with much accuracy. It's a word which is used by people who want to oppress others by silencing them.
I've always been curious why WASM has the program flow restrictions it has. Most "ASM" just lets you set whatever register.

There isn't much sandboxing value (WASM shouldn't be able to touch addresses outside the sandbox anyways). Was the reason ease of compilation/optimization for arbitrary architectures? Easier to run inside an interpreter?

The default idea for WASM feels like it should have been more like RISC-V (but with enough wiggle-room to allow easy JITing to x86/ARM).

Or are most of WASM's quirks just because it has ASM.js in its lineage?

I scorned the SF tech scene growing up, and now that I'm getting older, it seems foolish that I didn't live there for a few years and try to fleece some VCs to build a crappy product and exit with millions, or at least take one of those cushy $350K jobs and bank most of it for a decade.
