> Out of interest, what are you self-hosting and where?

Nothing yet, but I've been playing around with a few models on vast.ai, and want to run them in my homelab soon. The low price of used 3090s and the increased performance and efficiency of new open source models makes this relatively accessible now.

> Also isn't the core product here the tuning of an LLM to this use-case, if so how does that work with self-hosting?

The core product here seems to be the ability to use any LLM inside an IDE. I've been avoiding proprietary LLMs for this purpose, so I'm interested in a solution that integrates with local models.

This is also true for noise - tread design and compound are much bigger factors for noise than section width.

Also, what you describe is not necessarily in conflict with the parent. Skinny tires are good in the snow because there's less plowing effect and more pressure to grip into the snow. However, more width is generally better on icy roads.

Hard agree - it's fun to go back as an adult! On rewatch I kind of took Hammond to be either so swept up in the romance of his dinosaur-revival that he didn't notice the glaring safety risks in the nuts and bolts of the operation, or possibly that he just lacked respect for/interest for those fields. He seemed to dote on the science and the 'fun' parts of the experience (dinosaurs, ice cream and safari aesthetics), while the logistics of it all was probably more like an annoying chore. He certainly did spare some expense on security and the IT.

Everyone in the main cast probably were inclined to give Hammond a lot of benefit of the doubt on the disaster because one, he'd just wowed them with the scientific miracle of living dinosaurs, and two, he's promising loads of funding for their work in the future.
i am quite familiar with compiler internals :)

of course, across the TU boundary things get difficult, but i don’t think it’s fair to dismiss LTO entirely (although.. i agree with the thesis that it’s not particularly.. good)

similarly, de-virtualisation is an optimisation technique compilers will aggressively use to improve performance, although you’re right that it can’t look through another source file, so it is not without limitations here.

but we’re not being general, we’re being specific; the safety issues that are being discussed are well within the remit of the c++ type system here, and i don’t think we’re doing any favours to anyone by letting this rvalue be accessed in this way. it is certainly not idiomatic to provide library code that can so violently implode with seemingly regular use. i find it difficult to believe that lifetime issues like this are undiagnosable.
AMD consumer cards do compute, but do not have a developed or well supported ecosystem (ROCm is a mess).

Misguided segmentation or a high level architecture problem however, it is not. A specialized product will perform its specialty better than a general purpose product. There's minimal demand for a card that's good at both compute and gaming. These people exist, but are few compared to those who only care about one or the other.

The benefit of splitting GCN into RDNA and CDNA was immediate. Comparing the Radeon VII (GCN 5) vs RX 5700 XT (RDNA 1), you'll see that they're fairly evenly matched on gaming, trading blows with the Radeon VII slightly ahead when averaged. The RX 5700 XT takes a very heavy loss on compute benchmarks. Both are TSMC 7nm, but the RX 5700 XT has fewer shaders (2560 vs 3840), a smaller die (251 vs 311 mm2), and lower power consumption (225 vs 300 w) which shows how much more efficient it is at gaming. That much lower power consumption and noise, and a couple hundred dollars cheaper made it a much more compelling card for gamers.

CDNA cards are apparently missing components needed for gaming, like render output units. Hence, they have no official support for DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan. I've never seen anyone get one of these working for gaming. In exchange, their compute performance is so good that a number of companies are buying these cards over Nvidia's, despite the overwhelming CUDA ecosystem. In 2013, a GCN based supercomputer made the top 100. That is the one and only GCN based system to ever make the top 100. Compare to now, where 8 of the top 10 most energy efficient super computers use CDNA accelerators, as does the number 1 fastest supercomputer outright.
> It was pretty hillarious how the LLM found its way around the codebase with ls, cat, find, grep awk and actually even managed to edit the code that way and do a commit.

Please do write more. I'd love to replicate that. I keep coming across applications, where there is more "looking around the code" work than changing it. Even a slight help could mean a lot here!
As you can see, I didn't use that doctype. I experimented with a few older browsers (and one of those online virtual testers) and a few displayed weird results without it.

That's only in the UK where the children's hospital has perpetual copyright to the first peter pan book/play (I'm not sure about the other works in the series). Outside of the UK it is no longer under copyright. Performances/etc. of it in the UK require royalty payments to the children's hospital. Presumably performances/etc. of derivative works (such as the Disney film) require the same.

The same applies to the King James Bible where the UK Crown (and Cambridge Press) hold the copyright to it, where you can't publish that text without permission.

Oh, agreed -- I am not suggesting one take the first job. I went through six months of interviews before taking this particular job. I am only saying, don't discard all jobs because they are not the job. Be open to new avenues. I didn't take the job at a bank for example, because, first or not, it wasn't a fit at all.
I had the experience of Github Copilot introducing hard to catch, sometimes even security relevant bugs into my code, due to missing context.
I developed a rental system web app in Django, I have a route which allows me to delete a rental, it checks if you are the creator of the rental OR the admin of the group.
It was done right in the frontend, but in the backend it checked whether the request user is the rental creator OR if the creator of the rental is the group admin..

That really made me a freak out for a second, I started rechecking all the code I autocompleted with Copilot.
Not if replication lag is also being monitored.

If you need sub-second live data, then yeah, you need to read from the primary. Most applications do not, and 1-2 seconds of potential lag are acceptable.
Ask HN: How do you debug code with devs remotely?
I love using IntelliJ's "Code With Me" feature for remote pair programming, but often I'll get a message from a developer needing a little help with a small piece of code. They're often using different IDEs, and often they've not used "Code With Me" before so I don't want to make them do a bunch of setup just so I can have a shared text editor to assist them from.

What generally happens instead is they'll screen share and show me some code they're working on then I'll try to problem solve in my head and read aloud the code they need – "Add a new method below line 50", "create a new variable", "return an arrow function". This works fairly well with other senior devs because I can communicate at a higher level what's need and they'll write something that functionally resembles what's in my head. But I find this can get extremely complicated when the developer isn't that well versed in the syntax or libraries I'm proposing they implement and most of the time I'll end up reciting code from my head symbol by symbol – "open close brackets, space, equals, greater than". And wherever possible I'll copy small chunks across in Slack for them to copy paste.

This works, but it's not the best experience either for me or the developer I'm trying to help. Ideally what I'd love is a super simple way to remotely edit code in whatever IDE they're using from a Slack Huddle call, but I'm not sure any such thing exists (or would be possible).

Does anyone have any suggestions for better ways to remotely debug with other devs? Keen to know what works well for others here.
I'm using Codeium and it's good. I only tried one other one which didn't turn out to be as free as you'd think (I don't remember the name, probably for the better)

Especially for the free ones, just install one and try it for a day or two
> But in the end in this world signed contracts and wire transfers are the only credible thing.

I don't have any experience in this business, but why would anyone think otherwise?
Did you spend your own money on a verbal promise of investment without any signed document??
Indeed. Typically you have pairs of call and ret, where call creates a stack frame and ret tears it down

caller caller
| ^
(call) . . . . . . . . . . . . . (ret)
| |
V |
outer_function outer_function
| ^
(call) . . . .(ret)
| |
V |
inner_function

A jmp does not modify the stack, so when the inner function calls ret it jumps right back to caller

caller caller
| ^
(call) . . . . . . (ret)
| |
v |
outer_function |
| |
(jmp) |
| |
V |
inner_function

This trick stops working as soon as outer_function needs local variables or does anything other than returning the exact return value of inner_function. In that case you need a stack frame
Do you use it as part of a geothermal system, or are you talking about extracting the heat from the air?

I'm not dismissive of businesses like Lemlist, but would propose another angle.

I find that businesses that are spin out from agency models are particular, inherit a strong characteristic and outlook similar to agencies. This is not a critique of their model per say, but an observation that leads me to be hesitant to take advice from agency-born models and apply to more typical product-focused B2B or B2C settings.

This leads me also to note that that the nature of content exposes us to a lot of people who believe in posting content. I'm not against it, but would like to fight the common urge towards content as the best strategy to go to market. However, given that the medium is message, we don't hear from people who don't need to post to do business.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to look at interaction nets and HVM. Although HVM does not (yet!) support full lambda calculus.

I'm currently exploring another approach to a massively parallel reducer for pure lambda calculus. Efficient sharing of lambda graphs is one of the main problems for me.
The general pattern of replies from developers to any thread like this tends to go "I worked at a company and the PM was bad so therefore all PMs are bad and pointless". And, let's be clear, there are lots of undertrained, underskilled PMs out there working on the wrong things (delivery management, writing tickets, bossing devs around etc).

BUT - this is a leadership problem. Either leadership want and expects PMs to be doing those things (dysfunctional product mindset) or they want them to be better PMs but don't know how (poor performance management). In either case, firing all the PMs and expecting the devs to do it just means the devs get thrown into the fire instead. They're welcome to try! But, the idea that removing PMs from a dysfunctional organisation fixes anything is nonsensical. The devs will be just as unhappy taking orders from a more senior stakeholder who understands them even less.

Good product managers can be game changers. They absolutely should not spend all their time bossing developers around. They don't need to be former developers themselves (although there's nothing wrong with developers becoming PMs). They don't need to spend all their time on tech. Building great products isn't as simple as saying "The developers can do it" and letting them build whatever. How many developers really want to work on market strategy, pricing and packaging, customer segmentation, user interviews, wrangling stakeholders etc? I guess... maybe some... but enough? The whole fetish that developers have for "just let us do it" will dissolve quickly in a good or bad organisation because they only see the bits they want to see.

For the record, I spent 20 years as a developer before moving into product leadership.
>For instance, LCOE frequently ignores imposed costs for using solar and wind since they’re intermittent sources.

Not frequently, always. But, note that it is not just cheaper it is 5x cheaper.

If you pair solar + wind with pumped storage it is roughly 2x more expensive. Now it's a lot cheaper than 5x.

If you pair solar + wind with batteries it roughly 3-4x more expensive. Still cheaper than 5x.

If you pair solar + wind with hydrogen it is roughly 4x more expensive. Even if all solar and wind energy were stored as hydrogen and months later burned to produce electricity it would still be cheaper than nuclear power as well as being able to do load following.

Note that nuclear power can't do load following at anything resembling a reasonable price. An all nuclear zero carbon grid would either need storage too or it would need to overproduce massively.

>In fact, regulations are constantly trying to strangle nuclear and given it’s the only energy source that has repeatedly demonstrated to reduce fossil fuel demand

If Congress wanted to really strangle nuclear power they wouldn't regulate it more they'd just repeal the indemnity act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price%E2%80%93Anderson_Nuclear...

Insurance for a $1 trillion clean up event like Fukushima would normally be the responsibility of the parties that caused it but the nuclear industry gets to offload the cost of insuring that $1 trillion catastrophe event to joe taxpayer. This helps reduce the costs a lot but they still need lots of other subsidies (which they get).
Thanks, and yeah I did a bit more reading and this does seem to be much more about the IDE integration than the model. I'm curious as to why, because the IDE integration seems to be the "easy bit" – I've used 3 different ones now and they're all about the same. I'd have expected that the main lever the product has in being better than others is having a custom model that understands code edits much more than others.

I think it's less about "work" and more about reason for being. Work is sort of the easiest, lowest friction way to find that.

Post-scarcity and post-work society takes a formal effort for people to find purpose. It requires that we really try to find things that are valuable and that we enjoy.

But I do not believe we will live, as a society, to see the end of scarcity or jobs. We'll kill ourselves way before we get to that point.
The download path is hardcoded to be the binary release of a github project.

I don't know any other, more trustful way to download MeiliSearch rather than doing this.

You could download the source, and build it from scratch, but that also requires trust in the same exact Github repo which build the binary.

If your threat model is that Github repo being compromised, you can't escape that either.
There are individually addressable leds that have their ‘address’ burned into them and use a ws2812-style protocol, it could be that. There will only be one continuous data wire, which is cheaper to assemble and resistant to single LED failures.

I don't think being astute has anything to do with it.

Even now, book adaptations into movies, series, etc happen all the time. Even Disney still lets various companies (including freaking Warner Bros) make video games of its various IPs.

The dynamic here isn't about being astute, it's about well-positioned for a given market. If Disney thought a Frozen show was a good idea, they'd produce it themselves (like they did for Tangled and various others). For markets where they don't have / don't want to have an internal talent pool (RIP LucasArts), they rent the license.
I really enjoy using a microframework and multiple small libraries to build a project instead of a huge, opinionated framework for the reasons you mentioned above. Glueing different interfaces together within my own "business logic" can be
arduous sometimes, but the flexibility usually pays of when some new unforeseen requirement comes around the corner.

That being said I have settled for this simple setup when it comes to web applications. However its quite interesting how I seem to forget the insight I should have gained from all this framework-back-and-forth when I enter a new problem space and inevitably choose the complex, batteries-included framework.

This is why I think there is a use-case for every kind of framework out there. The big ones take the load from your shoulders while you are still learning about the problem. And if you so choose and the circumstances allow it, you can replace it later with some framework that is simpler at its core, but possibly easier to maintain, because you are able to reason about every aspect that made it difficult at the beginning.
in my country new homes come with solar panels and heatpumps usually. if you are unlucky not to earn litteral shit-tons, you can only rent as house prices are through the roof.. with that rental contract comes extra service fees for heatpump and solar panels. those costs are about 10 times higher than savings from not using Gas and having the panels... and they persist for the entirety of the contract. so basically you are off much more expensive. --- for the climate they say >.> ... i can see people getting much less excited to go for green options, simply because its not affordable especially for regular or low income homes... it's just another scheme to get ur money. - it's maybe a bit harsh opinion, but its hard to draw any other conclusions.
