I am not much concerned with hyper optimizations, but I was curious how OCaml would fair with the initial, simple steps, before things get crazy. But I opted for a more complex program:

(\* t.ml \*)
let () = print_endline "Hello, World!"

Then just doing a standard compilation and a strip:

$ ocamlopt -o t t.ml && ls -l -h t | cut -d " " -f5
1.5M
$ strip t && ls -l -h t | cut -d " " -f5
356K
$ ./t
Hello, World!

I may be overlooking something, and would be interested to learn what if so, but I was surprised we got a result smaller than the rust binary in the first instance.
The actual item is required to understand where it occurs and if these sequences have other explanations.

"Pay-off" has rather negative connotations for me, and I find it strange they used it in the title. Maybe it's just clickbait. They use the "pay-out" in the article, which is much more appropriate.
Update, in case anyone is still reading this. No animation when pressing play button was a bug, now fixed. The timing issue on auto-play-all has been fixed too, and a play-all button has been added, with the ability to pause.

It is now a much better experience for those who just want to enjoy "watching" how the folds are done.

Enjoy!
Linux 6.8-Rc5 Released with Documented Process for CVE Security Vulnerabilities
According to Phoronix, the optimization could boost performance in SPECint by 9% overall. The publication also notes that versions 2022.0 to 2023.0 of the Intel oneAPI Compiler are impacted, meaning most of the now-invalidated results were run in 2022, largely on Sapphire Rapids CPUs.

9% bump for free.
A lot of ancient writers didn't shy away from writing awful things about emperors. You could say that it was for propaganda purposes of their successors, but regardless of their motives, why wouldn't they write about their construction failures as well?
My comment was sarcasm. OP is being a defeatist to anyone trying to explain that, yes, actually, you can measure these things. You don't need the media to spoonfeed you fake information.
Well, then they're wrong, and should change their ways, similar to someone who just eats fast food because "that's what they like, they don't want to be challenged by food".

I prefer to be a little more provocative than going with the conventional wisdom and just saying: "well, more power to them".

They need to put in the work to get that increased power :)
At first glance, I love the thought.

In reality projects/vendors often make versioning decisions for marketing reasons. If you add a ton of killer features with no backwards incompatibility and trivial upgrade path, you might still bump the major version number even though normally that would denote radical backwards-incompatible change.

The need for marketing versioning will not go away, so maybe what we need is an upgrade quantifier modifier to the version number.

E.g., 8.0.0 can be a major functionality release, and 8.0.0-ez can be a major functionality release that has an easy upgrade path while 8.0.0-hd can be a major release that has a difficult (hd == headache) upgrade path.
I had that happen as well a few years ago.

Gitlab was just too unfriendly when I wanted some help and wanted too many resources vs gogs at that time.

Because too many are on github it's too big to fail and if you want to report a big you need an account there. I wish I could go completely without it.

Can you share some of what you have found about the creative process by talking to people with artistic ability ?

What are your ideas about the differences between a human and AI's creative process ?

Are there any similarities, or analagous processes ?

Do you think creators have an kind of latent space where different concepts are inspired by multi-modal inputs ( what sparks inspiration ? e.g. sometimes music or a mood inspires a picture ) and then the creators make different versions of their idea by combining different amounts of different concepts ?

I am not being snarky, I am genuinely interested in views comparing human an AI's creative processes.
In other words it's a classic multi-agent coordination problem (aka network effects), and saying "why doesn't one side unilaterally start acting differently" is a well answered question by game theory.
probably because of the classic "making twitter is easy, getting twitter to a billion people is hard"
It is interesting that before stripping the size of the Rust version is bigger, but after only stripping the size of the OCaml version is bigger. It'd be nice to try and see what the "extra" info that Rust ships by default is.
So, what? Everything in the world that anyone makes needs to be free of the author’s opinionated way of how to do things or how they like them done?

Honestly, just use something else if you care that much about it. Or make your own.

But don’t shit all over someone’s work because whatever biases you have aren’t aligned with the author’s project. You are obviously not the target market anyway.

It's not like there aren’t valid alternatives, or that this is a captive market.

I’m sure Microsoft or Google would love another rounding error to add to their metrics. You get the added benefit of any personal touches, opinions, or human aspects pre-stripped for your enjoyment!
I mean, depends on how you define OK. On a geological timescale, sure they’ll be just fine. On a timescale measured in decades to centuries, not necessarily.

Fire is definitely part of many ecosystems. Fire every ten years in a sclerophyll forest? Great! Fire in a rainforest during a bad drought? It’s gone now. Might come back after the next ice age.

Also, “forest” environments that have been clear felled and replaced with a monocrop at some point basically have to be managed thereafter. Any properly bad fire through there will leave the ground essentially sterile. Seed bank destroyed. Still black years later. Their natural resilience is gone and it’s our responsibility to manage the fire ecology while they rehabilitate in the same way we need to manage the flora back to something healthier.

And then of course, anywhere we’ve built human stuff on the interface. We either defend it or we resign ourselves to the people who live there being homeless after the next fire. Leaving aside whether that’s right or wrong, it’s a very different social pact than the one we’ve operated under so far. Any change to that is going to be generational rather than short term.
One thing I didn't realize for awhile is that it's not actually an assembly language. At least not in a traditional way. Because it is high level, with things like loop and if-else, etc.

I assume it was initially intended to be more like a "real" assembly language but then they realized how much more optimized things could be if they went with higher level constructs.

so the theory is that now there will be a lot of bots taking over HN and posting stuff that they want to rank up, destroying the value of the site? What's the defense there?
That's a fair observation, I know when I was first writing Rust my inclination was to return impl IntoIterator<Item = T> from functions which are going to actually return a Vec<T> because hey, if I change my mind you can still iterate over whatever I give you now instead with no code changes.

But of course that's an anti-pattern because they are in reality likely to forever just return Vec<T> and knowing that helps you. My early choice only makes sense if either I can't tell you anything more specific than impl IntoIterator<Item = T> or I already know I intend to make a change later. So these days I almost always write down what exactly is returned unless either I can't name it or no reasonable person would care.

For serde in particular my guess is that if you need lots of dynamism serde is the wrong approach even though it's popular. It might be interesting to build a different project which focuses on dynamic dispatch for the same work and tries to re-use as much of the serde eco-system as possible. Not work which attracts me though.

HN's pedestrian design makes for a much better experience.

- no visible karma for anyone but the top few - means people don't spend (as much) time karma whoring

- limited formatting, no images or video - increases the value and import of the written word

- no sharing, or @user referencing - means posts live and die more by their merit rather than brigading or other shenanigans

BYD will have dominated the world before Tesla does anything at this rate.

Here in Brazil, EVs basically didn't exist. Only very few Prius were seen around, and I mean very few.

Now, BYD showed up and everywhere you go you see one. Had Tesla been there, the same would have happened. But they chose to not even try (or weren't competent enough to do it).

BYD is doing the same in many other countries. Pretty soon I can see BYD being the main provider of EVs in multiple countries. Tesla had years of advantage and totally missed the opportunity to expand into those markets craving EVs.
this was meant to be used for spying terrorists and such, so should not be big deal

from what I heard about Pegasus: noone could get that malware for themselves to not compromise it, so it's you wanted to hijack some phone you would send them phone number so they could resend exploit again (spyware was not persistent across reboots, so you needed to rehack it every time)
Not exactly a resource but more of an advice - learn software development. Unless you are familiar to some extent, you will always be dependent on a competent software engineer, and that will make it much harder to build a lifestyle business.

Second advice, use Ruby on Rails or Django as a web framework and don't follow after the complexities of JS and other newcomers. Phoenix (Elixir) is awesome but that will require much more efforts and expertise compared to the established and time-tested Rails and Django.

Good luck!

p.s. I'm writing this as a person managing a lifestyle business (LibHunt & SaaSHub).

p.p.s. I'd also recommend getting into the IndieHackers community for inspiration and shared experience.
Or connect with trusted curators over a decentralized network, similar to the fediverse?
Ruby is a very beautiful language both in logic and consistency. Rails is a mature framework. The ecosystem is very much alive albeit not “exciting” anymore and at the end of the day people use what they know. The 2010s have produced a large number of Rails developers. For the majority of CRUD apps Rails (or Laravel or Django) are just fine thus there’s no need to really make a switch. Finally, React can power a lot of things but in my experience it is far from offering the right integration and rapid development speed that something like Rails or Laravel come with.
It is more or less standard for game scripting because it's easy to embed.
Why not? That's primary function of many research entities of various sorts in very different industries.
I don't really care about jobs, but what is actually scary for me is power/wealth inequality with high unemployment and low social mobility.

I used to think that by becoming software engineer I would have good life. Now I'm no longer sure, if I will still have anything in decade or two, because what about debt? What about opportunities for younger people? What about poorer countries?
>It would in principle be more efficient to burn oil/gas in a power plant and use some of it to fuel EVs

Not coal though. Wouldn't it better to primarily focus on closing every single coal plant first? (also I would assume the same is the case for the type of 'oil' burnt in power plants, only gas is relatively "clean". Then you also have all kinds of other pollution that's much more harmful directly than CO2)

> All in all the excuses

Norway was very well positioned to shift to EV because of the very high taxes on new cars there, they just had to cut taxes to do that. Doing the equivalent (i.e. 50-75% tax on ICE cars) in the US or most other countries is simply politically infeasible. I know moralizing can be fun but it doesn't really offer real practical solutions.

> EVs are now more or less cheaper in total costs of ownership now

That really depends on the state (of course higher taxes on petrol would help but again, politically infeasible)
This is a bad-faith argument. Say someone superglues an infant to you in public. Do you have the right to stab the infant? There's a proper equivalent.

I think you misread him. He was said that the bus (ground transport) was $40, and that the train (Amtrak) was more than a plane. He didn't say how much the plane cost. Your $100 USD for a short flight is probably the low end of a reasonable estimate here in the US too.
bots and SEO have really destroyed the internet. and now that we have AI to further streamline the production of BS, I feel like the Internet is just going to become even more of a quality content wasteland.
Aero Dili has two planes in its fleet: a Cessna 207T and a 14 year old secondhand Airbus A320. They started leasing the A320 last year with help from DAE Capital. They operate out of Timor-Leste, so neither they nor their passengers are exactly rolling in cash. They run one 55 minute flight a day to Indonesia and a couple of times a week they extend it to Singapore.

It is not ridiculous to say that they might not be able to afford $50k for some random YouTuber. They certainly don't have tens of millions of dollars invested in planes. They have one plane, singular, capable of international flight. Probably they could scrape together the cash if they had to, but from a back-of-the-napkin estimate it'd be more than a week of fuel costs for their regular route-and-a-half.
I sometimes find it difficult to keep track of all the names in a science fiction book when they're in some invented language (wads Acenta the good one, or Arinca?). It's easy when they have English or English-ish names.

The same happens when reading a book with Chinese names.

An ebook that coloured the names according to their side might help.
Bit afraid about that. Honestly it is suprising how spam free HN is, so maybe they have some good anti spam system in place. Also i think it would make sense to set all outside links to "nofollow" so google ingores them and therefore it is less interesting for SEO.
Cheating on SPEC benchmarks? Surely that has never happened before...

"We conclude this paper by citing cases [of] compiler optimizations specifically designed for SPEC programs, in which performance decreases drastically or the computed results are incorrect if the compiled program does not exactly match the SPEC benchmark program. These findings show that the fairness and value of the popular SPEC benchmarks are questionable."[1]

"Issue: Special library for a specific benchmark...
Issue: Pattern matching for the inner loop of a specific benchmark...
Issue: Compilers optimize too much for the SPEC CPU benchmarks...
Issue: The compiler optimization parameters (flags) used are unrealistic..."[2]

Intrusive Lists in Doom 3
MVDream can be combined with a NeRF (or equivalent spatial interpolator such as InstantNGP/TorchNGP) followed by marching cubes to extract a mesh and produce a 3D model. SDS loss and guidance is done from multiple equally-spaced views simultaneously. MVDream has a repo that implements this:

https://github.com/bytedance/MVDream-threestudio

It should be fairly straightforward to adapt this repo (which is based on threestudio) to use SPAD instead of MVDream.
Are there any NERF to textured or vertex coloured polygon mesh point cloud tools or papers ?

I.e. can these be assets for traditional game engines ?

Could a sort of photogrammetry like Meshroom or Reality capture do the trick ?

As a JS developer, I second this. I love node, react and typescript, but they're great tools to build very complex web apps — think Figma or an in-browser IDE.

If you're building a typical CRUD app and don't have a VC-backed budget, just use a Django or Rails.
Maybe it’s because HN is well moderated and open to automated scraping, unlike other systems that are being locked down (reddit, Twitter) so the user generated content is now significantly more valuable to search engines.
I get wanting to say "skip the low effort 'when can my embryo sign for the loan' jokes" but that fetuses already have some legal protection in certain jurisdictions is not proof the stance leads to legal consistency, it is proof similarly debated laws about feticide exist in certain jurisdictions. The people you're telling to consider the jurisdictions which treat feticide as homicide will have the same consistency disagreements with those laws as they do this one and would point you to the jurisdictions that do not consider feticide as homicide as the consistent side of the law. That not all consider them legally consistent is one of the reasons said laws aren't universally held in all states.
This is why I said "from the other direction".

Their end goal is both the same. Meta is approaching it building a broad-appeal consumer device using tech that is cheap now, iterating over time to build something more capable.

Apple's made something with some better technical specs, with the costs they bring, ditching broad appeal. In a very different way, it seems as if Apple is going to ride out this platform and continue to iterate.
I didn't preclude anything. This is a strong take...

Something like a PET milk jug is harder since you’d need to shred it and remelt a good portion of the jug into filament since the handle area would be hard to deal with, which is hard to do in a DIY manner. Same for reprocessing failed prints and scrap support pieces of prints, plus various coloring agents and manufacturer additives make a blend of recycled bits inconsistent. It’s probably easier to DIY a high temp composter than to recycle PLA.

But there’s a ton of people out there with jig designs to spiral cut a normal cylindrical bottle and feed it into a hotend that creates filament from it. Here’s one example
https://www.printables.com/model/768657-petalot-plastic-bott.... YouTube has dozens of videos of these in action. Generally speaking you won’t get as good of results as commercial filament since filament diameter needs to be carefully controlled and it affects flow rate which then affects resulting print quality. If you print something simple, large, and practical it’s fine, if you need something finely detailed it can be fiddly.
Sure, great. That’s yet another argument for not putting “classics” on a pedestal as the “best” movies.

There is no drifting apart. If so then there will be full regression to the minimum viable product, the low end Tesla. It was a conscious choice in order to save margin during the chip shortage post-Covid but under the pretext of vision is best. Radar-equipped cars used to be able to see through fog and heavy rain now nerfed.
Instead of looking at it in terms of the distinct number of different software products, instead look at the number of physical "integration operations" that happen every day.

A good portion of those (whether it is "the majority", who can say) are actually between Excel and itself, e.g. two people in a company sending files to each other.

This is a multi-agent coordination problem. If Excel (the dominant market participant) makes a change because it is helpful to their own users anyway, that alters the incentive calculus for the other software products too. Suddenly there is a large enough market / population of users / number of integration events where making an investment in the enhancement makes sense.
