Easylang is a domain-specific language for learning programming and also for small web canvas applications. It has a reduced set of functions, a simple syntax, a browser IDE and integrated graphic commands. It is statically typed and has only strings and numbers (floating point), arrays of strings and numbers, and arrays of arrays as data types. Easylang was made by me and is open source (GPL).

It is written mainly in C and is run in the browser using WASM (WebAssembly). The Easylang programs are compiled directly in the browser into an AST (abstract syntax tree) and this is then interpreted.

A recently added feature is that certain code can be compiled directly into WASM code. This is useful for the "inner loop" and can multiply the speed of execution. This feature is experimental and currently only works for certain language constructs. You can test the speed difference in this example by changing "fastfunc iter" to "func iter".

The code of this example is embedded in the URL.

I think the name is fine. I don't often see it used the way you describe it, and when it does I'd say it means something like adequate, average or acceptable. Mediocre has a more negative connotation to it.
Indexing in a vector engine is what gives you similarity search faster than brute force. The type of engine is what gives you various different distance measures (often approximate). Redis specifically has two choices: brute force (which is precise and slow), or HNSW (which is approximate and fast, but space-consuming for interesting dimensionality).
I don't think he's trying to deflect attention. I think that they've realised now that angry drivers are literally the only cohort left likely to vote tory in the next election and are now fully pandering to them.
Fascinating. The money quote:

"OnnxStream can consume even 55x less memory than OnnxRuntime while being only 0.5-2x slower"

The trade-off between (V)RAM use and inference time sounds like it could be advantageous in some scenarios, and not just when RAM is constrained like in the RPi case.

I actually wonder if this weight unloading approach can be used to handle larger batch sizes in the same amount of RAM, in effect increasing throughput massively at the cost of latency.

this is insane to me. I have not been to a single station in the continental united states in the last 7 years where "pay inside" does not equate to "pay first"

That being said - perhaps its an "attendant" state? Several states have laws which restrict motorists from pumping their own gas, is this the scenario which you are talking to?

No, not perceived value. I’m literally talking about sharing revenue. Dollars. Cold hard cash.

The `Duration` being a type that implements an interface removing the ambiguity? Like a `DateTime` object does? I think it might be useful to have a function returning a collection of information about text, how many unicode points, how many grapheme clusters, how many syllables, vowels, consonants, special characters… But for performance reasons you probably want separate functions that give you just one of these.

Gas pump hacks in the past have been related to opening up the cabinet and adjusting the flow sensor to lower the sensitivity so that you pay for way less gas than what actually came out of the dispenser. These sensors have an interface between them and the controller so it could be possible to add some MITM device that can edit the flow reading to something much lower or none at all while gas continues to come out of the dispenser. Add Bluetooth to the device and you can turn it on and off at will so that no law-abiding citizen complains about the pump supposedly putting out less gas than what they need. These pumps aren't inspected frequently so if the replica tamper sticker looks good, the pump puts out the right amount during a state inspection, and you aren't so greedy that the owner notices, you might get away with the scam for a long time. 800 gal is a lot of gas and could have easily filled tanks for at least 50 cars. This guy could have slowly stolen 800 gal over the course of a year and probably no one would have noticed.
Maybe. It's a common argument in other contexts, and some people believe it.

I'm here to help.
No matter how fast the device itself is, addressing into a large pool will always be slower than a smaller pool. Both because of increased travel distance, and because every time you double the size of the pool, you add one additional mux on the path between the request and the memory.

This is why CPUs have multi-level caches, even though the transistors in L1 cache and L2 cache are typically the same -- the difference in access latency is not because L2 is made of slower memory, but because L1 is a very small pool very close to the CPU with the load/store units built into it, and L2 is a bit further away.

However, if main memory latency is suddenly a lot lower, it might change what is the most efficient cache level layout. The currently ubiquitous large L3 cache might go away. That would of course require very high bandwidth to the memory chips, because L3 does bandwidth amplification too.
Hi there! Are you open to considering a non-senior engineer for a role at Vannevar? I have experience in a very similar domain and think I could be a great addition to the team. Would love to chat more if so! Thanks!
> Where to insert blank lines for visual structuring is maybe the most obvious example. You wouldn’t want to automate that

In general, I agree, but I actually had some success doing that in a couple cases with custom linter rules.

Some tests were becoming unreadable because of lack of separation between sections, so I started enforcing. We also enforced at least two more spaces in between setup/execute/verify sections, where expectations could only show up in the third section.

This can be annoying if you use a different style, but all our tests followed the same patterns, so it made sense to enforce.
Exactly. The gender can change, but the sex classification remains. Trans women are women by gender and men by sex, thus different than those who are both women in gender and sex.

But when they were early stage, which is when the discounts being discussed apply, they were bootstrapped companies.

Parent's argument is that bootstrapped companies are dramatically less likely to ever grow and that only VC backed early stage companies are, therefore it makes no economic sense to provide discounts to bootstrapped early stage companies.

My point is that I don't believe that this holds out in the data that expected long term value of a bootstrapped company is significantly lower than a VC invested on.

Personally, I find there is ample evidence that "VCs largely are just handing money around to each other to give the illusion of growth" is a solid hypothesis.
I see this comment a lot recently and it perplexes me every time...

I don't see how LLMs are search tools. Am I using them wrong? I've asked them for information with sources and they've hallucinated entire answers including accurate-looking but entirely non-existant URLs as sources.

They've been great for getting some ideas, and summarizing things, but if I venture into an area that I'm not a domain expert in an LLM seems like a terrible way to get info.

But everyone seems to think they're the next search replacement... So I have to wonder if I've just got bad luck with them, or somehow haven't groked how to get them to give valid truthful info.

As someone who works in IOT, my guess is this is a new feature for servicing. Letting a technician communicate with appliances, machines, etc.. over bluetooth using their phones is becoming more and more popular and the security around these features is designed to be as simple as possible to avoid calls to tech support. Getting access could be as simple as entering the service companies id. It's like how heavy machinery drivers just leave the keys in their vehicle cause it's easier to share and they assume no one else will try to use it.

Aren't you describing hybrid cars?
I like the idea of replaceable and upgradable parts. But I would be totally convinced this platform is also a viable ecosystem if parts were also sourced by suppliers competing with Framework and everyone is profitable/sustainable.

Wouldn't that be great?!
I'm really into driving and all, but I've been in Detroit a year ago and it sucked. The only good thing about it was the Henry Ford Museum and the fact that Canada is just across the border.
That's called a plug-in hybrid (as opposed to normal hybrids which switch from electric to combustion operation depending on power output needs). They're quite good and clever vehicles, but their name has caused a gigantic amount of confusion and problems for them, and they seem to be in serious trouble because of that.

Could be, for sure. My gut is that most of the publicity and quotes I saw "from studios" were from basically the entry level/grunts of the studio world and combed to find the worst that could be found, quote wise.

Note that I do think studios were more happy with the deal they had before the strike. I just don't think they are gnashing teeth at the agreement.

EmergeX | 100% Remote | Full Time / Contract | Generative AI / NLP Engineer | $120k - $208k

EmergeX is looking to hire a developer with experience building complex things using bleeding edge AI toolkits. This role will initially be contract-based but can develop into a staff position.

We're working on a genuinely novel problem using a patented methodology proved out 30 years ago, which couldn't go further because of the technological limitations at the time. Our approach reaches far beyond computer science and LLMs in that we're marrying concepts from domains like evolutionary biology, cognitive science, semiotics, philosophy of mind and neuroscience to harness the emergent power of today's AI ecosystem and beyond.

You:

-Have implemented something serious using some of the new generative AI-based tools and stacks

-Can write, ship and maintain healthy Python as your day-to-day work.

-Are thinking about the limitations and comparative benefits of RAG, Knowledge graphs, finetuning.

-(optional)Have knowledge in or curiosity about classical NLP and are excited by philosophical discussions, computational cognitive science or the idea of building an AI being

Us:

-At EmergeX, we foster an open and encouraging culture. We value smart, driven individuals who aren't afraid to think divergently or voice critiques.

-If you're passionate about AI and eager to make a significant impact in the field, we'd love to hear from you.

I figured it was so you can identify the user who ran the command in an audit, instead of everyone just appear as "root"
It's sad that the Fairphone 3 is losing support already, though I think that's much more down to upstream vendors of the hardware not providing support for the chipset, not Fairphone themselves

In terms of the release schedule I think it's important to continue to have a "jumping on point" for customers who want to switch to a Fairphone. It's hard to convince someone to replace a 3-5 year old phone for another 3 year old model

As long as they keep providing 8+ years of support for newer models I think it's the best option, since the company also need to have a continuous revenue stream to exist for the full lifetime of their phones

Why don't you just email YC directly and ask...?
Yeah, back in college I worked with a Biochemistry grad student on a group project that involved some coding (I was Computer Engineering). To iterate over a matrix, he used three nested loops with an if-statement to switch between rows and columns. Technically it worked but wildly inefficient, and he was proud of it...

To his credit once I (as nicely as possible) showed him how to do it with two nested for-loops he clearly felt stupid and conceded the point. He was otherwise a very smart guy and good to work with, but goes to show how we can take our training for granted. Even freshman-level stuff goes over the heads of PhDs, and I'm sure the same would be true if I were to drop into a biochem lab.
Have you looked at a Mastodon archive? The posts are just one giant json file. Good luck finding and reading anything.

The ability to read threads of conversations is totally destroyed with the content cache retention period, and nothing can really recover that for a Mastodon user, not even an archive. That's why it's called an "archive" and not a "backup". Backups can be restored. And indeed, you can't even export/import your posts from one Mastodon instance to another instance.
Sigh. It's disappointing to hear that this is the default in Ubuntu Server. As long as I'm understanding it, it doesn't appear to be an immediate concern, but it does demonstrate that the security design is quite a bit half-baked at least in this specific area.

I don't think every Linux distribution needs to aspire to be as proactive about security as OpenBSD, but it would be nice to see better care put into features like this to make sure they're restricting capabilities as expected, with at least more than one mechanism protecting the system from compromise.

Unfortunately my kneejerk reaction is to assume that most of the work on Ubuntu Server is going into development of Snap-based Ubuntu Core, wherein the security model is completely different and none of this applies, perhaps? But a ton of people deploy ordinary Ubuntu Server today, possibly more than Core... so that doesn't bode well.

(OK, maybe I really do just want OpenBSD.)

edit: Wait a minute. This post says "brand new", which made me think this was stock configuration. However, is it? I would feel immediately relieved, and my entire comment would be irrelevant, if that wasn't the case.

What you are missing is that a home purchase is typically leveraged. You buy the house for 100K and put 20K down. The house increases to 125K and you more than doubled your money. Now take out those fees and etc. Problem is you still need a place to live and those houses have gone up in value too, so you need all of that profit for the new down payment.

Not saying this makes houses good investments, but it is something to consider. I think that this is the cheapest leverage a typically person in the US could obtain.
My perspective was all wrong!

This is sort of what Edison Motors[1] is doing. They have built what is essentially a diesel electric locomotive in truck form, where they have a CAT diesel generator charging two battery sets which then power two electric axles in the rear, two traction motors per axle. The generator runs at a constant efficient speed (when needed) and has no mechanical connection to anything other than the alternator.

Yeah, this is a good setup for a rotary. Its kinda like the Porsche 918, with its super high revving, tiny racecar V6 that only made power at high RPM, compensated by a electric motor everywhere else... Though I question if Mazda will really be able to keep the curb weight down. Other manufacturers just can't seem to help themselves, and stuff tons if heavy junk in modern cars.

Maybe tuners (or Mazda themself?) will put a centrifugal supercharger on it later. They seem to be en vogue, they are simple and light, and they don't butcher timings/compression and such as much as a turbocharger or other superchargers, with was a major pain point with the RX-8 Wankel.
This relates to something I've seen with product discussions, though if we think about IaC as a product for developers I guess it's the same discussion. Very often the developer/pm of a product wants to cover _every possible_ use case even if there's no user demand there yet.

This can lead the user experience to be painful since you now basically need to be a power user to get started, and the developer experience starts to get painful as well since the code to support the everything machines is not simple.

I worked on a project where the feature requirements became so convoluted I wanted to say let's just ship them a machine with a python interpreter on it and at least the docs will already be written. I was joking but there's something there in that we're either shipping an incomplete subsection of the capabilities of the tools we're using, or we're writing a 1:n mask from our tools to some new interface.

New tools need to be compared to our BATNA (in this context maybe Best Alternative to Nothing at All?) to determine their value. I feel like this is why Heroku was so great when it came out. Yeah, you lose all this fine grained control (subset of the capabilities), but goddamn was it easy to just ship something.

I feel like Excel is really the OG king of navigating this dilemma because the interface makes it easy to gradually go into the deep end. I honestly wish more dev tools were like that because we only have so much time in the day and most tools probably _do_ have an 80% happy path subset of features that could be foregrounded and made simpler, while still allowing access to the details when needed.
