I take Scott's point with a difference perspective.

Though commit messages are ephemeral and hard to utilize in the future, they're the stream of consciousness of the project.

They convey very important shifts in direction, discoveries in the making, code smells, limits of current architecture, and markers of tech debt. We don't know what this beast will be. And we figure it out commit by commit. Document it.

Till the team you are handing off the code to just copies the files and commits into a fresh new repo without any of the history. I had this happen once to a server I wrote, and then like 2 years later the new team comes and asks me if I knew of the server, and I'm like "I wrote it" and then they are all confused.
I always like to quantify things so people get real context.

Relative to the origin satellite I would assume the others are in a fairly fixed position to it. Remember they try to keep them spaced out and even coverage. That means the things are not moving around wildly relative to each other. But to us they are wizzing by. For example I know I am relatively moving fairly quickly to the earths core and pretty fast around the center of the sun. But from my PoV everything around me looks stationary. Also there is not a lot of dirt up there.
> Super Metroid has a surprising amount of filler scattered all over.

It only really looks scattered because the visualizer uses a space-filling curve instead of laying out the bytes of the file linearly. If you change the curve to "scan" instead of "cluster", it becomes a little easier to see what the filler is: it's the unused space at the end of each ROM bank.

(As someone who's spent a lot of time in that particular binary, I think the use of the space-filling curve obscures a lot of details that would be a lot easier to spot otherwise -- such as the structure of the ROM banks, the location and layout of various pieces of compressed and uncompressed data, and repeated structures like a couple KB of common routines that are duplicated at the beginning of every bank containing enemy code.)

Thanks! Because we are just starting out, in order to stay lean, we are focused on the hardware side at this point. The capex/opex involved with deploying this level of compute is rather insane and I feel that it will be too distracting to solve both problems at the same time.

I do fully recognize that in order to build the developer flywheel, we need to solve both problems in the long run. For now, there are other great companies that are focused on solving the software side, such as NeuralFabric, EmbeddedLLM, Lamini and MK1. Our intention is to partner and be friends with all of them. There is a lot of room in the picks/shovels ecosystem for all of us.
Smaller, or slower. So many cars are out there running engines that are far too big, capacity that they never actually use. North American drivers seem to want cars that glide away from a stop or pass another vehicle without making a fuss, resulting in overcapacity engines. If we allow engines to actually rev to their potential, we can all do with much smaller overall designs.
Let's not forget about the abortion.
There's also a character viewer that you can display under the Input menu in the menu bar; and there's a keyboard viewer that lets you discover unexpected, say, SHIFT-OPTION-blah key combinations that will produce those characters at a stroke.
I’m starting to think we need weight limits on standard passenger vehicles so that designers have a constraint to work within. Of course there should be exceptions granted for commercial and similar usage, but I fail to see the logic in allowing 7000 lb Suburbans or Escalades on the road
as daily drivers.

I’m not even talking EVs here. Why is a Hummer legal to drive when it causes disproportionate wear on the streets, can’t fit adequately in a lot of parking, and will essentially obliterate any other vehicle it hits? It doesn’t even have a reasonable commercial purpose beyond wrapping it with advertising and using it as a parked billboard as far as I’ve seen.

And as far as EVs go, my Ioniq 5 is a little over two tons and has the wheelbase of a Palisade already. Do you really need a whole other ton and a half to add a third row? On my car I’m pretty sure you just have to square off the roof and allow some overhang in the back. It’ll need more battery, but a ton more? Empty pickup truck beds aren’t all that heavy either, for that matter.

I can’t imagine this type of mass inflation has been as rampant in Europe and other areas that value small cars. We Americans have always been in love with displacement, whether it’s coming from the engine or the chassis.
But they will have inherited the asset side of the debt from grandad won’t they.

That’s the connection. Debt is really saving and when people spend those savings it eliminates the debt.
Global internet traffic is estimated to be 3 yottabytes per day. So Starlink is now carrying one of out every 77 million parts of worldwide traffic. Wow, that's small.

EDIT: there's some confusion information out there. With a more conservative estimate of 150.7 exabytes per month, Starlink gets 1 part of 119, which is more impressive.
Additionally, Instagram/Facebook will/probably has been lobbying a ton/spending a ton so that the terms of the law are as favorable to them as possible, and at the same time also make new entries into the space have considerable expense in complying with the laws.

I'm almost completely clueless with both 3-SAT and supercompilation, but I'm willing to bet that if you found a neat trick that solves 3-SAT problems easily, then either or both (a) there are classes and/or sizes of 3-SAT problems for which your solution breaks down badly (goes exponential), or (b) what you're doing reduces to a 3-SAT strategy that the people who enter 3-SAT contests[1] already knew about a long time ago.

hmm, not sure I understand how a particular approach to diagramming architecture even relates to things like determining the value of an MVP.

I found the linked article insightful, and the focus on making the MVA an explicit and crucial peer of a given MVP is, for me, a helpful framing of concerns that too often remain indistinct.
To be honest, after what you just described, I like Brando even more.

A sackbut is a Renaissance/Baroque predeccessor to the trombone, often accompanied by cornettos[1]. Here's an example of a Gabrieli canzon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqFfDnV5KI

In that video the sackbuts are the three people at the back and there are 2 cornettos at the front.

So this is an early synthesiser that sounded a bit like a sackbut presumably.

This is going too far. Now you buy products or service at their fair price (Chromecast, Netflix,...) and they still push advertisment to you without any respect to squeeze the maximum of the user.
Yeah, a lot of these also have Github and ticket tracker (Jira, etc) integration so they'll also pull in context from those, too

Most of the stuff I work on uses merge commits on Github so you can just click the PR # in the merge commit message and arrive at the PR, browse through commit messages, discussion, etc
I love how you can build complex operations from each of the simple primitives like From Hex->Uppercase->XOR->Remove NULL->To Hex and save them as a recipe. It reminds me of the Linux command line where each program is simple but you can pipe the output of one into another to create a chain that can perform complex data processing.
I've always felt Gentoo was a decent cross between LFS and a "real" distro like Debian - much of the install is similar to LFS with some hand-holding, and the end result is a system that has package management tools.

There's the classic "when someone tells you there's a problem here, they're usually right. When they propose a fix, it's usually wrong"

To me, this post falls squarely in that bucket. It correctly identifies issues and does not find the correct solution. Unfortunately, that undermines my confidence in the author, and that makes me suspicious of their comments on the photos page or regarding the typeface.

The author says "Apple used a bad font" but I missed it if they explained why, and their replacement didn't feel better to me. That's not convincing! I don't think it's unfair for me to say "yes, you've identified a problem but not the solution" and I don't think that's a meaningless comment.

I like buttons, and since I'm not a designer, I often use obvious affordances or make simple product decisions (this is to my detriment: too many modals or toasts). This includes buttons. But without hearing from Apple's designers (or from any designer defending their decisions), I leave this post feeling unconvinced. Their argument wasn't good enough for me to think it would beat an argument in favor of the designs Apple employees made.
And what excuse do you have for Firefox dropping PWA support? Or is it just Apple that is evil?
A correlation (but not yet causation) has been established between Ozempic use and medullary thyroid cancer. In trials, it worsened progression of existing cases of MTC. So that's at least one potentially serious side-effect.
You should double check those numbers. The XC40 combustion car is 3800-3950 lbs. The EV version is 4600-4800 lbs. 20% more, which is certainly something but not nearly 50%.

Comparable cars in the sedan category are only typically 10-20% more than their combustion counterparts, unless they’re just designed poorly.

Astronomy had no applications for centuries (unless you count astrology but do you really want to go there?). Saying that mathematics applies to it is disingenuous in the context of a discussion around the applicability of mathematics to the daily lives of an ordinary taxpayer.

Same goes for much of the theoretical work in geometry. Very little of it is applicable to daily life, with the notable exception of trigonometry and its uses in surveying and engineering.

But the results I was alluding to by mentioning Euclid were those from his work in number theory, including his namesake lemma and his proof of the infinitude of the primes, and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. Those results had no application to daily life until the advent of modern cryptography.
As a pickup truck, a Rivian also holds that mass/energy much higher off the ground than a Viper, resulting in greater deflection upwards.
"This is all about the weight of the vehicle, it has nothing to do with the fuel."

It's not all weight, but also energy and density. It's slightly related to fuel, at least until batteries get significantly lighter.

Gross weights are misleading in this conversation because most passenger vehicles are not driving nor tested at their gross, but only slightly above curb weight.
Big miss by Apple: not securing reviews from any senior citizen. By positioning the AVP to be the coolest possible means of work and play for the well-heeled technorati, Cook is missing a huge group, to wit, well-heeled boomers, seeking succor for their slowly diminishing mobility, new venues for communicating with family they can't visit easily, fresh means of medical consultation, and most of all, a high-tech way to stave off dementia. While not as glamorous as picturing its use with a sinuous model, draped over pricey furniture, the AVP is a natural fit for nearly all seniors, and will surely be a hit with them, once the marketers bother to lift their gaze from hyping yet another 3D rendering app.
Reputation is basically meaningless here. If they fix the software, people will figure that out in short order. They just have to actually do it.

ditto for me. word for word.
> Absolutely everything can be modeled and described mathematically with enough variables, but that isn't always feasible, and describing all modeling all instances of something with practically infinite permutations probably isn't.

My point is that you don't need someone to actively describe it. The fact that it can be described mathematically (even if it's infinite!) means it already exists within the structure of mathematics.

> The point is that the simulation gives the parameters for the simulation but then lets it go its own way and doesn't already have all that information of the path it ended up taking.

Everything that is implied mathematically from the starting state is implied just as well even if you never evaluate it.

You're taking the natural numbers to be your starting state, and declaring that the results of arithmetic operations on them are created by the simulation, whereas I'm saying the results of arithmetic operations were always there, because they can be defined by rules.

Running the simulation doesn't create anything inside the simulation that wasn't already implied by the initial configuration. Running the simulation "generates the flesh and meat", only in the sense that it makes it visible to someone outside the simulation. Inside the simulation, it is impossible to tell whether it has been evaluated or not.

Ask HN: Who Is Firing? (February 2024)
That is great, did someone ask the programmers about it though? Or did someone else see the higher FLOPs per dollar and bought in? If your job is literally programming a supercomputer and you can get AMD to fix stuff for you, maybe it aint so bad. That is not where most software comes from though.
I try to write useful commit messages. Sometimes they're as expansive as this example, but not always. On GitHub, at least the way my team uses it, the PR is the more visible unit of code change. If you have a single-commit PR, GitHub will automatically make your commit message the PR description, which is nice. It does not do that if you have more than one commit, in which case I write a general overview of the changes and write "See individual commit messages for more detail" in bold.
> An example is why a general quintic cannot be solved with radicals

A general quintic can be solved if you allow the "Bring radical", which is a function f(x) that gives the (unique) real root of x^5 + x + 1. When I first heard this, it sounded like a total cop-out, almost like saying "you can find the answer if you already know the answer". But what convinced me was the argument that the Bring radical is not more difficult to compute than the quintic root x^(1/5). So if you care about computability, then "solving" a quintic using roots + the Bring radical is equally as useful as solving it using roots alone.
I suspect there's going to be a lot of cultural resistance to any attempt to introduce smaller vehicles to US marker right now. Starting from inclusivity arguments centered around smaller cars not being able to fit "people of all sizes" and ending with safety concerns where key cars would just feel unsafe on any kind of american highway sitting in a 6000+lbs lifted F-250's blindspot.

I think this ship has sailed and there's no coming down in vehicle sizes in US any time soon.

It already is expensive. But it isn't just NVIDIA doing it. CoreWeave is the largest and certainly backed by NVIDIA, but they are a separate business. AMD doesn't have to do it on their own either.

The iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch all felt like they could be used as tools, which can make someone justify the cost.

The Vision Pro, even with Apple’s focus on using it for work, ends up seeming like more of a toy. I think it’s a lot harder for someone to justify a $3,500 toy.

I can see it being one of those things I get that seems really cool, and is really cool for a few days, but isn’t useful enough to make it worth the friction of choosing it over a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or TV. If I could rent one for the occasional weekend, I might do that to watch some 3D movies or something.

In 5-10 years, if they can provide a Vision Pro-like experience in a pair of Raybans, that equation may change. Right now it looks too finicky to be worth it.

In your case then perhaps a cash infusion is what is needed to help. Based on my observations of poverty in the Washington DC/Baltimore regions though, in my opinion cash infusions alone would not be the most effective option for combating poverty in the majority of cases.
