Ah! Carson Gross is author of grug brained developer, and htmx!

I'd love to see some real critiques of htmx.

Personally I think the web's big ongoing challenge has been figuring out how to update the page well, and we keep trying all kinds of attempts. That causes fatigue, and some of the ideas are wild or grow crufty over time. Htmx seems like a back-reaction, to insist on grug brained less/YAGNI.

And even though the future is uncertain, I still see work on things like signals as saintly. There's a lot of different pokers in the fire, refining & trying different angles. We're still pioneering this front, other fronts.

The quest feels similar to so many others. MobX and Svelte and others have made great journeys already. That the journey is still irresolute, that we do keep tangling with the complexity beast: rather than that being a sign of weakness, as the conservative/grug minded might take it for, I think and I hope it's appropriate & due effort to reach a simple but good. Rather than a just simply simple approach.
In addition to what mono said, llama.cpp allocates everything up front with "--mlock"

Llama.cpp (and MLC) have to read the all the model weights from RAM for every token. Batching aside, there's no way around that.
They also used to feel a lot thinner, with the taper at the front edge.

I don't like my M2 MacBook Air nearly as much as the M1, in terms of the physical feel and dimensions.
Apple shares anonymous usage data by default on all their operating systems and users are asked again on every major update.

Given that there has never been any public incidents about it and what we know about similar defaults I would be surprised if Apple is getting less than 95% opt-in rate.

But I suspect at high-end they only really care about the performance of a few dozen professional apps e.g. Logic or Final Cut. And at the low-end it's likely just efficiency.

Preach. 100%.
If we take out growth from companies like future Apples and Googles and this growth goes into private markets, does the old adage that an index tracker is the simplest way to build wealth just go out of the window?
This is an unsurprisingly terrible article.

If anything, venture capital is more responsible for a lack of IPOs. At one point, there were over a thousand unicorns that had no reason to go public. Multiple series of fundraising rounds between venture capital and growth equity firms have enabled companies like Bytedance, SpaceX, and Stripe to grow into companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars with minimal pressure to go public.

Additionally, excessive regulation has seriously hampered IPOs. Expensive disclosures - for both investors and companies - makes being private far more compelling. Not to mention the fact that many private companies are sketchy and overvalued. Public markets incentivize market participates to root out fraud in order to more accurately value businesses.

Deep capital markets are one of the many strengths of the United States. To enable individual investors to invest in the next Apple, Microsoft, or Nvidia, the onus is on petty government bureaucrats to make it 10x easier to go public. Over the last few decades, it has instead become 10x more difficult and expensive.
I would rather avoid swapping between machines because it's unnecessary complexity when laptops are already so fast.
I don't see anything credible there about nation-states currently engaging in this research. I think generally it does not appear to be a productive line of research.
I heard the same about the war in Yemen a few years back. Kids scared of blue skies. Clouds are good.
Show HN: I made a web app that tells you if your food is spicy
Hi HN ! I made a web app to check if an item on the menu is potentially spicy ?

Problem:
I recently arrived in Korea, and I quickly realized that if my girlfriend is not with me, I don't know what would try to kill my tastebuds.

I could ask, but I'm shy and my broken korean wouldn't help much.

And trying to find an answer online is time consuming, navigating between 10 paragraphs blogs.

Solution:
So i made this simple gpt wrapper that takes in a dish name in any language, and gives you a clear answer right away.

Keep in mind that this is my first app and an mvp, to validate the idea.

But I'm welcoming any feedback, especially if it can improve my next projects.

Thanks for your time guys :)
Linux is 10% of desktop/laptop share and even higher of laptop share, given that very few people use ChromeOS on desktops.
> people with autism are more likely than the general population to have ADHD, but people with ADHD are not more likely than the general population to have autism

I'm pretty sure that's not mathematically possible. If W people have both, X people have only autism, Y people have only ADHD, and Z people have neither, can you provide values for W, X, Y, and Z that would make that claim true?
> 2.5x is "just barely"? lol k.

That's only rendering speed, and M3 Max vs M1 Max (not Pro). M3 Pro is only 30 percent faster:

> The 12-core CPU design has six performance cores and six efficiency cores, offering single-threaded performance that is up to 30 percent faster than M1 Pro.
It sounds like the only way to "beat" this is to try to find some unrelated feed of noise to base the key presses on. Because when you actually do think about it deliberately, you fall into a pattern.

One way to do this without an external data source might be to just visualize (or look at) each object in turn clockwise of a room you are familiar with. Or use any other random source of data. Then come up with a rule that applies about half the time to some objects and half to the other. Or rather, come up with the rule before thinking of the room.

Maybe count the number of letters in the name of the object. If it's even, hit the f key, and if odd, hit d.
1 in 100 is old data, 1 to 20000 is not high. The study they cited had 0 in 12000.

The real number is closer to 20000, both from more recent literature and personal experience.

People have bought into the idea that certain jobs are just bad and therefore only bad workers take them. They then like to imagine that the jobs are OK, as long as they are done by children who will go on to better things.

Never mind the fact that these people rely on those workers to feed them even during the school day (and the jobs are usually bad because one is forced to deal with people who look down on you).

It’s a round about way to counteract the obvious question that comes after these kinds of articles (Isn’t even $20/hr only $40k/year full-time?)
Your first paragraph is because cars depreciate. Cars are thus the opposite of an investment, barring a few collector models which never got driven much.

Paragraph 2 reeks of "I know what to do with other people's personal property better than them." If you pay that house off and die, it's in your will and it's yours to pass on to whoever you want. We should absolutely be incentivizing that kind of responsible behavior and respect for long-term financial planning and thinking over real estate getting gobbled up by megacorps to rent out.
I'd imagine as stealth goes, driving up to someone's house is a much more subtle way to deliver a grenade than launching a drone that goes EEEEEEEEEEEE all the way as it is hastily steered to its destination while the operator attempts to avoid bumping into a street lamp and then fiddles with the controls to drop the grenade in such a way it actually detonates before the victim figures out what's going on.

Drones are hardly even a daily occurence let alone frequent enough not to catch anyone's attention. Cars on the other hand are everywhere.
Nope. Qualcomm does have smartwatch RISC-V processors in the pipeline. It's not nothing?

Haven't tried the AOSP port for the LiCheePi 4a yet. Probably should give it a whirl just to see if things just work.

That's easier just to try downloading Minecraft through the Play Store than boot strapping the entire toolchain needed to get PolyMC working.
I don’t understand what you mean by statistically?

All of those are endorsed by the USPSTF I.e. reimbursed by insurance and available in the US.
They completely solve the ordering problem of a key-value store as described in this article.

What they don't do is give you a global linear ordering. But you don't need that in a key-value store, and you don't need that in most distributed computing.

People keep reaching for PAXOS and RAFT when they don't need it. It's pretty rare that you need a distributed linearization.
> Does this mean we can finally play Cyberpunk 2077 on a laptop?

My 2020 14" RTX 2060 laptop played it just fine, with decent settings (and copious DLSS). At 4K!

In the state I played it (earlier this year), it was great looking even without raytracing.
Fast food doesn't make sense anymore. Inflation has hit other food options too, but fast food has lost the discount relative to better food that's supposed to be part of its fundamental contract.
Sample size is a red herring. If the difference is big and stark enough, you can detect it even in a MUCH smaller sample than this. You only need a big sample if the difference you are looking for is subtle.

Mind you, this is assuming that the sample has been taken in an unbiased manner (nigh impossible in a voluntary survey like this) and that any conclusions you draw are applied only to the population you took the sample from (e.g., if your sample is undergrad psychology students at a particular university, your results apply only to undergrad psychology students at that particular university, not to the general population).

The issue is not the sample size. It's the sampling method. Even if you do a study on 1 billion people, your are liable to get an incorrect result if you don't take the sample correctly.

Of course, the other issue here is that we are claiming something that the study didn't actually cover. The researchers did not look at whether the subjects succumbed to the bystander effect or not: they just looked at how the subjects answered questions. These are two extremely different things! This is bad experiment design.
And moreover, what makes people even think that a desire to commit mass murder is an innate characteristic of an 'intelligent' being, that increases the more 'intelligent' it becomes? (If they believe themselves to be 'intelligent', do they believe they have a greater desire to commit mass murder?)
Looks good to me. By the way, why is iOS not on the compatibility list although it says the controller can be customizable from its iOS app?
Well, you could still pre-fill that field.
I don't care about ethernet (haven't plugged in a device to ethernet in many years). I agree that more than two ports would be good, although I get by with just two on my MBA. And most of the time, one of those is taken by video-out, so I really only have one. At least on an iMac, you're not likely using a port for video-out, so you can use the two ports for whatever else. Also, it's less of a big deal to use dongles with a desktop than laptop (I hated using one with my Intel MBP). Probably the speed and power are lessened with dongles/minidocks, but people getting the base model probably wouldn't care that much.

But maybe I'm wrong — what use cases are you envisioning? I think I'd just have a backup drive plugged in, and then perhaps and iPhone/iPad when I'm backing it up.
His point wasn't that iphones are the breaking point for american's personal finance situation. It's that the BLS and Fed study estimates weren't thrifty subsistance level living standards. They included luxuries like new iphones and premium vehicles.
I might be interested in trying this if you didn't make me create an account to do so.
Oh, hey! Love your project for running Android Studio on NixOS, will do.

Would also be cool if we could get Android Studio for Platform running as well, I'm guessing it shouldn't deviate too much from regular Android Studio.
The vast majority of Mac users go years between upgrades. For any other vendor it might seem weird to show several comparisons going back multiple generations (M1 and x86), but for the macOS ecosystem it makes perfect sense since only a very tiny slice of M2 users will be upgrading.
Some Good Parts:

- Professor Richard Buckland has CS playlists on youtube (UNSW eLearning). In one of his lectures he starts writing a sudoku solver (I think) starting with high level abstractions.

- Also, at least, the first video of SICP

> But Gattaca seems to be used as a blueprint rather than a warning.

There's a founder of a genetic sequencing and embryo selection start up that I talked to who said they were "inspired by Gattaca" and isn't shy about bringing that inspiration up[1] at any opportunity.

Their company's promotional material also isn't shy about selecting embryos for predicted intelligence, height, etc.

I think you are mostly wrong. OP is complaining they sometimes have to enter their email address - that is absolutely unnecessary make-work.

The page can prompt the email address, and have a simple unsubscribe button. Not perfect, but okay.

Even better, one-click unsubscribe features (e.g. Gmail's App) are presumably set up to work for the current recipient (not the original sender) so the problem is resolved for anyone using an email client with inbuilt unsubscribe.

The forwarding problem is only for html link unsubscribe. Personally I hate trying to play find-the-ubsubscribe-link, so I use the email client feature where possible (which also helps Gmail rate/flag spam).

Mostly I haven't had problems with repeat spammers, except a republican politician (I'm not in the USA so doubly annoying).
That's entirely relative to the person and task, bud
We are required to use LNT in the United States and Canada.

The attributable cancer risk for CT colonography is a rounding error, and considerably lower than the quoted perforation risk.

That said as a radiologist I personally still opt for colonoscopy screening, it is however an option for patients.

Something I really like is I can buy my tires at RevZilla and get them installed on my wheels (off the bike) at Cycle Gear at the discount rate.

for the past half century poverty worldwide has been reduced drastically, and i see no reason for that trend not to continue.

public opinion on this topic continues to improve. the problem is not a lack of will in the individuals but a lack of awareness. and that is slowly changing, thanks to presentations like this one among others.

you see, just like you ridicule the belief that people can change and we can fix things, i could say:

ah, well, it is all hopeless. we will never be able to change the attitude of enough people for this to be ever successful. let's just give up. corporations will never change, and they will continue to exploit the world for their personal gain for the forseeable future.

HOW IS THAT ANY LESS DESTRUCTIVE?

nobody said anything about waiting. especially not for a savior. we all need to act. every one of us. to start holding corporations to account, and demand that they change their business practices.

that will does not come from nowhere. it comes from individual action.

i am talking to people almost every day to tell them what i am doing to improve lives of people in poverty, and what they could be doing as well.

you are free to choose to laugh at us, or you know, you could be doing something yourself as well.

the more of us become active, the sooner we can achieve a lasting change.

this is not an issue of white saviors rescuing africa. this is an issue of us colonialists cleaning up the mess that we created and are responsible for. that's why i am talking about change of trade agreements. we need to reign in our corporations and get them to stop their exploitative practices and we need to implement trade agreements that ensure that the resources we take out of africa are paid at a fair price. then it is up to african countries themselves to figure out how to invest that income to the benefit of their own people.
The masses are almost always willing to trade rights for 'ease'.

It's also how we get to IoT, cloud-tied software and hardware, and all sorts of anti-purchaser tech, to benefit the actual owner.

The longer I live, I realize that Stallman was right about tech. All of it.
It's just a thing you say to elevate yourself over a hypothetical other because that's something you have a need to do. It's just words to make someone feel good, I wouldn't take it literally.

> The only policy solution to this is to force some kind of deduction from paychecks into retirement accounts.

Or to admit that privately managed retirement accounts were a mistake, and ramp social security up to the point where it's enough to live on, taking enough contributions to cover that.

Investment should be money that someone can afford to lose. Treating privately managed investment as the way to do retirement savings is going to leave some people destitute.

Yeah. And in a lot of cases Jane might actually be open to a better placement! The average Jane just wants things to go smoothly.

But the autistic person might "demand" an answer or call the current placement "stupid" and actually just make an enemy out of Jane, and then everybody loses.

This is in many ways unfair to the autistic person, because they don't know the unwritten social rules of how to bring something up constructively and helpfully.

On the other hand, the relevant social rules are not terribly complicated here either and they're kind of learnable. Make an effort to understand (but don't demand) the current way before suggesting a change. Don't insult everybody by calling the current way stupid. Etc. And also Jane can't be an expert in every neurodivergent special need her reports might have.

I used to work with a truly brilliant programmer with no filter. Surely he was on the spectrum though I don't know that for a fact. He would insult everybody else's work. Honestly, his was that much better. I swallowed my pride and learned to work with him and I like to think I helped him with some social aspects. He was actually a very sweet guy and we benefitted from his brilliant work. That is how it should always work, but unfortunately it's not, and to be honest (as terrible as this is to admit) if he was not a true 1-in-1000 unicorn engineer I really don't think I would have cared to make the effort.
In my experience most over-engineering can be explained by a lack of understanding. When we design it, we don't know what matters and our guesses are wrong; and when we modify it later, we don't have time to figure out how it really works. Both of those problems can be fixed by simply spending more time to understand, but time is money.
I don't think it's certain the AI kills everyone, but it's not certainly impossible either. It depends on how the AI works and what it "wants" for some value of "wants".

Humans have not been particularly kind to the species less intelligent than us. Why would we anticipate being well treated by an entity more intelligent than us?

Even if we're not that relevant to a super intelligence, creating one forfeits human control over the Earth and known universe to the machines. Right now, in a century or two or three or whatever - we might be building Dyson Spheres and colonizing the galaxy. In an alternate and plausible timeline the machines are doing that and we are not.

You need the function to give a result that has the same properties, for some specified set of properties, regardless of the basis. GP's question is perfectly reasonable if you haven't already accepted that this set of properties is the only set of properties that matters. The thesis could be better stated "if we define multiplication to have properties X, you can't multiply vectors" which is much less divisive.

I think GP's (and my question) is why those properties and none others are important.
So you're saying that if anyone wants to interact with FSD & american drivers, you're requiring them to also solve this problem?

How far would you go here, balancing this added feature to the benefit of making FSD release sooner and lowering traffic accidents? What's your exchange rate in time - there are ~100 fatalities nationally per day - would delaying FSD by 10 days to fix this annoying behavior be worth the delay? What if the delay was longer? How long would you wait? Or what if the delay were unknown - would you assert you are sure it's short, and ram it through? What if you were wrong, that including this behavior caused a long delay in FSD - would you feel bad then?

Or are you certain that they're just being obtuse by not including it? Or do you have another theory for why Tesla isn't including bundling this specific software behavior along with their efforts to create superhuman safety FSD?

A bivector is just as good for the purpose. Think of it as a generalization of a directional arrow (vector) into an oriented area (bivector). The OP talk shows good visualizations if you haven't watched yet.
Using someone's information for a purpose they didn't intend is wrong? What? This just seems obviously mistaken. I don't agree with that at all. I'm not even sure how to argue about that.

Lots of art, science and technology can be considered as "using someone's information for a purpose they didn't intend." It is extremely normal for people to find new uses for things; information is not exempt from this.
They probably have a high degree of empathy and feel intrinsically moved to make ethical decisions. Autistic people can have high empathy or low empathy, just like anyone else.
