FWIW I was at a punk/metal show this weekend and the crowd skewed younger and it kinda sucked. No one seemed to be enjoying themselves. It felt like they just wanted to be seen there. My friend commented that it felt like church which was hilarious considering the setting (and accurate).

Hardcore shows at squats still live on though, and people are there to enjoy for sure. But that's because if you don't like the music and setting you would leave pretty quickly.

I tend to think this kind of self-filtering system is more effective than bouncers at the door, but at the same time, consumers be consumin, and they glom onto faddy subcultures just long enough to completely hollow them out. There's arguments to be made for curating the spaces that art resides and thrives in.
Not exactly sure what taxes this guy is paying, but I’ve never heard of the 15 + 15%. Most everyone I know is on the 39% bracket, or higher if they’re high earners.

Electronics aren’t necessarily more expensive, Europe just has VAT included in the price. Amazon.be, .de, and .se all deliver to Denmark, often with free shipping (although Amazon.de recently increased the free shipping from 29€ to 59€)
I don't really get the comparison to makefiles. The idea of make is that you express rules that lay out dependencies between files and other rules, and make (when given a target to build) figures out which rules do and don't need to be run based on what you want to build and what is and isn't up to date.

Jeeves seems to be a thing where you define python functions and then Jeeves makes it so you can run them as 'subcommands' of the 'j' command line program, and to take arguments, etc. Seems like it'd be up to you to write your own code to handle figuring out if each function/subcommand has dependencies, and if those dependencies need to be run or built.

Neat project, but has nothing to do with make. Sure, some people may use make as a command runner, but that doesn't mean this is a make replacement. At least not for the vast majority of things that people use make for.
I generally agree, but it's very "larger city focused". Living outside of a larger city is ridiculously cheap, and your daily commute by private car will probably be about the same time, but cheaper, than public transportation.

What I mean is that you can buy a house for under $37.000 and live within 30 minutes from the 4th largest city, which leaves _plenty_ of cash for a car for each person in the house-hold, and you get the same salary as the city dwellers, so you just have more money overall. In addition to this, most places of work will provide you with parking for no additional cost.
Show HN: I Made SaaS Pricing Optimizer (AI-Powered Pricing Optimizations)
I'm excited to introduce a new tool I've been working on called "SaaS Pricing Optimizer". As a startup founder, I understand the challenges of setting the right price for your SaaS product. Traditional pricing methods can be slow, complex, and mostly based on guesswork. That's why I developed this tool to help SaaS businesses optimize their pricing strategies using fine-tuned AI (trained on CRO research articles).

Did not try Racket specifically, but I did quite a lot of work with Dr. Scheme 15/20 years ago, which I think is Racket's ancestor?

It would allow you to define variables which were actual images. The image was a thumbnail in the code, which you could assign and print. It was mind blowing.

Also your Lambda keywords could be replaced with an actual Lambda symbol, which was the pinnacle of coolness.

This, as well as the super snappy and responsive split REPL, made the overall development experience with Scheme feel super futuristic and just a pure enjoyment all around.

I agree my comment was a one-sided depiction of him.

I too am a fan of some facets of his. His talk to YC's StartUp school was influential in my life: (1) his description of different kinds of "exits" opened up my perspective, and (2) the photo of his father's childhood hut (with a mud floor), contraposed with his own success, affected me strongly.
This is a complete puff piece on something that isn't remotely ready for deployment. Meanwhile batteries are available today. My house has one that we use for exactly this purpose (we also have solar.)

Also the article claims batteries have short lifespans which is just factually false, especially compared to fuel cells, which are a known wear item which will need to be replaced far sooner than a battery.

Overall terrible quality press release masquerading as an article.
That I'll be happy to agree with but compared to the 640 k limit it's clearly a manageable one, and one that end users of the system normally do not have to concern themselves with.

I've written a (small) OS for x86/32 just prior to getting my hands on an Alpha and compared to that the Alpha looked (and still looks) like a model of sanity to me (as does 68xxx). Just the number of tricks required to get an x86 system properly booted up is off the scale, you have to deal with a whole pile of memory insanity including repeated switches between modes (and memory models) in order to get your stuff even loaded. I spent weeks debugging that loader, to the point that I had a reset switch connected to a musical instrument foot pedal so I didn't have dive under the desk 10 times per hour to reset the box I was writing this on. If not for DJGPP to validate the 32 bit code ahead of time I doubt I would have been able to bring it up at all (note this was well before VMs became a thing on consumer hardware).
Not so long time ago "critical thinking" was disapproved during covid era.

> The crazy thing to me in all this is that the types and amounts of transactions you make with your money and the bank is not criminal and never could be.

Nothing crazy about it. All those KYCs, checks and check on checks have nothing to do with money laundering or any other sort of illegal activity but it has to do with control over YOUR money.

Notice how extremely regulated the industry is? So multi-billion dollar scam ventures just can't exist under this pressure, right? Multi billion dollar dodgy deals with money laundering? They should have disappeared if my $500 txn gets so much attention, right?

Wrong - it's blossoming. One may ask how - and the answer is on the surface and it has nothing to do with money laundering.
You can use this to argue against literally any new social problem. Sometimes it is actually true that the newer generations are doing something wrong, you know?
I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks :)
Right, Good point. There can be better examples. My common use case is translation and explaining things. I haven't used it much myself at this point, jumbled it up a day ago and posting here was me shipping it.
This wasn't a joke; I was being serious. However, this incident highlights how much I do not know. Anyway, thank you all for providing alternative viewpoints. I am willing to look like an idiot if it means I can gain knowledge from various people.

Those who bought it and played it in 1.0! Many of them never saw the fixed game. They weren’t helped at all by the fact that the game was quite good 6 months later.
Worst case they’ll never buy a CDPR game again, best case they’ll buy the games after 6 months (which by the logic of rushing releases is disaster because apparently not selling millions the first holiday season is a failure).
> “Why would I consider this, given that make is perfect”

Not even that; this doesn't seem to implement any of make's core features, so it's not actually a replacement for make. It's a replacement for shell scripts.

(And no, I don't buy that the comparison is apt because some people use make as a command runner. Sure, they do, sometimes, but that doesn't mean jeeves is a make replacement. It's not.)
We have a website for this (pretty low key, but fun) [0]. Sometimes adding a space changes the meaning of a sentence, and sometimes in a funny way. Like, "weekbroodje" is sandwich of the week, but "week broodje" is a mushy sandwich. Maybe it's because "week" can be "week" or "mushy". The same happens for "Corona cases", which, in Dutch with a space (Corona gevallen) means "Corona fell", the proper way is "Coronagevallen". Usually it is clear what is meant from context but a sentence that starts out the wrong way can trip you up for a moment.

Almost all spell checkers will split these examples so it's really changing our language. I have considered filing a bug with Apple because I mostly notice it on my iPhone. Perhaps it's already to late, wrong space use is very pervasive nowadays.

I suspect we are getting into an issue of degrees, potentially due to differences in how you and I have been applying LLMs.

For example you said that in the average case they actually represent concepts by the complex interplay of adjacent concepts - I would agree.
ChatGPT can pass the bar, it can pass medical exams etc. I would also point out that the work in that sentence is being done by the term “average case”.

Let’s assume our experiences diverge at this point. At the start of the year, I started tinkering, then actively trying to push LLMs to failure, in order to understand the limits of what could be achieved.

After creating several tools/experiments you end up having to deal with Hallucinations, and this is where my stance likely diverged from yours.

Two different studies showed generated content was only ~50% and ~40% supported by provided citations.

One out of 4 of my summarization tests was spectacularly fabricated.

I had bad performance on even classification tasks - and OpenAI engineers described this same failure at a conference. I am a recovering non-coder, so you dont have to take my word for it.

At work, I need processes that are more than ~97.x% accurate, otherwise they are poor replacements for the human in the loop ones already in place.

Average case performance suggested the ability to actively plan, to actively assess situations. However hallucinations overrode those capabilities. LLMs will actively imagine functions, teams, or processes that dont exist.

Eventually, it became clear that LLM hallucination is far too anthropomoprhized a word. LLMs are always “hallucinating” - it’s only humans who have an issue with the output.

If I have understand you correctly, semantic inaccuracy to you is simply a failure of not having enough related concepts.

I wish I could remember the exact examples that made me realize there is no world view at play at all, I could simply share those.

Instead, can you describe how you are getting acceptable performance from your LLMs? Maybe experience and use cases will be enough to bridge the gap.
Your typical Java developer has zero knowledge about this and on the UNIX versions that shipped with the Alpha (for me, at the time that was RedHat) fairly elegantly hid that complexity to the point that you could just forget about it unless you cared about extreme performance. In my case the ability to address large amounts of memory and a filesystem that wasn't limited by the 32 bit limitation was the key factor and while it took another decade for x86 to catch up I was happily shipping.

That's a good question for any cloud platform. I can only say, that to make it as trustful as possible:

- we encrypt all your environment variables on-flight before they're inside the isolated KVM

- we do a network isolation of customer runners and pipeline jobs in the local network

- we don't store the stdout of your pipeline jobs

- we use ephemeral filesystem in a runtime to avoid storing any data even accidentally
There is nothing fishy going on. You can see the source it is small and simple. And because it is not on store, what you see is what you get when you load it. Background.js file is the one that sends chat completion request to openai.

Tell HN: After new YouTube adblocker policy, I can't stand using it
I'm finding myself closing the tab, more and more often, before the forced pre-roll commercials even complete, even for videos that I'm kind of interested in watching.

For videos I'm very interested in watching, I usually make it through, but then there will be abrupt forced commercials in the middle, and I just can't, and my hand reaches for ctrl+w..

I feel like we really lost something this time. Do you think there will be a good video platform in the future, or will we start downloading youtube videos without the commercials from our favorite creators on the pirate bay ?

How to resolve 403 Forbidden error code?
Anyone here has experienced this issue with their chrome when opening an URL, the error code 403 forbidden Microsoft-Azure-Application-Gateway/v2 pops up? How do you resolve this issue?

> You know that how you experience the world is not the world as it is. Your eyes move about constantly but you dont see it

This is a different kind of "the world as it is" vs. "the world as you experience it" difference, as I understand Kant: You can always make more sophisticated interpretations of your direct experiences that accounts for such things as visual or even temporal illusions, but there are things you can never know for sure - for instance, whether time is your consciousness moving through a series of immutable states, like frames on a film reel, or whether it's the reel that is moving.

We are constrained from the basic structure of our reasoning from finding answers to such questions. That is very different from illusions we can correct for through better physics theories.
There's nothing preventing that, sure, but I don't think I'd really enjoy that. I want to celebrate my birthday on the anniversary of the day I was born, not on the nearest weekend day.

At the moment, Unity is in the middle of the move to "vanilla" flavour of .NET aka CLR. Once they do, it should dramatically improve GC performance in Unity and enable an easier route for targeting AOT-requiring platforms like iOS (it is officially supported as a fully-fledged target for NAOT starting with .NET 8, and there's even rich interop directly with Swift in the plans).

While I can't contest that SCons is comprehensive, I would never recommend it as a source of learning "what to do".

SCons is not idiomatic Python and it abuses things like `eval` which gives it terrible performance.

Source: I used to work for MongoDB and my full time job was to make SCons faster, which I eventually did by making it a Ninja generator (which has now been upstreamed). But the code is still pretty bad.

Using SCons however is much nicer than using make / autoconf IMO, especially now that you can farm the builds out to Ninja.
