Snarky or just know a lot? It changes quite a bit how the compiler works. It has to know to make sure malloc gets the array element size argument multiplied in runtime by n. To a mere user it broke my mental shorthand of how a C compiler works.

It is curious. They seem to repeatedly submit old stories over and over. Some other examples:

20 CDs curated by Steve Jobs & the iPod team - submitted 20 times over 7 years:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Prefix for SQLite Tmpfiles - submitted 10 times over 7 years

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

The submissions do seem to be good though. Perhaps they just re-read old articles occasionally and re-submit them.
See my other comment on this subject! I think it would be a risky choice.
> They don't make the kinds of mistakes children make and it doesn't look like we could use children as a model for improvement.

I'm not sure how familiar with LLM or children you are, but in my experience, they absolutely make the same types of logic/"critical thinking" mistakes that children do, as this article you're replying under demonstrates.
I guess that's total throughput, rather than per user? You can increase total throughput by scaling horizontally. You can't increase throughput per user that way.
> which may not give a specific practical advantage

It, in fact, gives a specific practical disadvantage.
It seems like you are making general purpose chips to run many models. Are we at a stage where we can consider taping out inference networks directly propagating the weights as constants in the RTL design?

Are chips and models obsoleted on roughly the same timelines?
I think GP is talking more about the fact that you can have a do block, not about what it is.
Surely once you're scaling over multiple chips/servers/racks you're dealing with retries and checksums and sequence numbers anyway? How do you get around the non-determinacy of networking beyond just hoping that you don't see any errors?
Shoot. Tell me that information.
Yeah. Arthur Whitney's old company is Kx Systems which sells a vector in memory database for things like financial stock ticker analysis called Kdb+. I forget which version of K it is on. It mostly doesn't matter as most folks use the q-sql DSL on top of it. He then started another company called Shakti with some changes and what I guess is a later version of K. He had a download link up for a bit, but took it down iirc. I wish the site had more about the product listed, but we're not exactly the target audience (more for big banks).
Personally I’d rather AI be used to help fix society and health issues. Help people thrive and survive, things like that.
How is that a proof of anything?

Do you imagine all chemical reactions to be instantaneous with effects that last only a short while ?

>Why can someone feel love for someone just by bringing to mind the symbol which represents that person?

>Why can someone feel love by seeing an illustration of someone they love?

Why would other things triggering hormones and reactions mean it's not just hormones and reactions?
> It's not Google's fault that manufacturers' BSP's tend to rely on proprietary blobs, that's always been common throughout the embedded ecosystem.

If there is one entity that could have changed this years ago, it was Google, especially after Microsoft ditched Windows Phone.

Look, I'm no friend of big corporations strong-arming their will around, but in this case it might have been good for once. Instead, you get a hellscape of Samsung messing around deep in Android Core (as everyone who wants to develop a long-running background app is likely to hit), and rooting being an extremely painful process that will brick about half the apps on your phone.
> The commercial entity behind MariaDB raised roughly $230 million in venture funding through the years to develop premium features and services on top of the core project, eventually going public in December 2022.

MariaDB might now be taken private for just a fraction of that investment - $37M.
I only do them when there is a big gap between finding out about the task and doing it. Mostly I do them on the end of the day friday so when I get back on Monday and have completely forgot what I was working on, I can see a few checklist items for what I was in the middle of.

Creating a 20 point check list is just pointless. Unless maybe it's a list of things you need to verify before pushing something forward and you absolutely can not forget any of them.

I've had the opportunity to analyze click behavior for some pages, and there's a huge bias for people to click things at the top.

Let's say for example 90% of users are unsophisticated and 10% are sophisticated. Even if the #2 link is preferred 100% of the time by sophisticated users, you're still going to see 90% of people clicking the first link.

Out of habit I power down computers I don't use any more. Every workday my M2 MBAir work laptop is booted from cold and shut down after work. Personal MBAir 2017 is the same.

Even my TV and XboxSX get properly powered down when not in use.

Exception to the rule is my iPhone (7 Plus) and iPad Air (2019)

I was surprised to see such miserable measured latency to Fly, but then I saw this note:

>The primary region of our server is Amsterdam, and the fly instances is getting paused after a period of inactivity.

After they configured Fly to run nonstop, it outperformed everyone by 3x. But it seems like they're running the measurement from Fly's infrastructure, which biases the results in Fly's favor.

Also weird that they report p75, p90, p95, p99, but not median.
Here's a JS framework that seems to do almost everything you want (outside of not requiring a JS framework, of course). It's a Sass project and uses Node modules, so I wasn't able to get it running using vanila js. (I'm not much of a JS dev.)

I'm also interested in other players in this space. SVG seems like the ideal way to make static plots.

This being the key for such a system to work.

I would not ride a bicycle in USA rural areas... way too dangerous.
This hits hard. As I've gotten older I've accumulated a lot more complexity in my life. Finances that I need to take seriously, properties, family stuff, a decade+ of depth in my career... it takes a lot to keep track of everything, and to make it legible when you come back to it a year or 5 years later.
Very good article. I wonder why it disappeared from HN? More comments than up-votes?
Most people use genetic relatedness when constructing phylogenies today. People in the field understand species labels are just discrete terms. Some fields like metagenomics don’t even consider the species much and group things by genus or some higher level instead because of the difficulty of defining this stuff. Not to mentioned most of what you sample using metagenomics is going to be a population pool (think someone extracting dna out of soil or stool, there’s billions of organisms you are sampling potentially in that one sample). You start to think less of “do i have this organism and what does this mean” and more “what gene sequences am I detecting out of this pool and what does this mean for the resulting proteins being released in the environment and what that does”
I've tried various note taking / organising strategies in the past and nothing compares to pen and paper for me.

I used to go through a lot of notepads as "scratch" work and would also lose things that I would like to look back on.
So for the past few months I've been using a rocketbook. I have a special format for weekly todo / done tasks, a kind of daily log format, pages for meeting notes, and then scratch pages for rough notes etc.

I usually upload the weekly / daily / meeting stuff or research stuff I may want to keep. Rocketbook ocrs the page and uses anything with ##s as a title so I can find stuff quickly. I have set up different Dropbox folders for different categories of notes.

It's been working quite well for me.

Some things like documention, or draft documentation etc. I do store in markdown text files, and sync between my devices with syncthing. On my phone I used termux and vim for editing them, which works surprisingly well.

Maybe you could elaborate? As the solar system already contains bodies with masses both smaller and larger than the primordial black holes mentioned, what would be the issue?
Can you warn us pre-IPO?
CBS can still potentially send a cease and desist letter. Star Trek Stage 9 got shutdown even though it was clearly labelled as a non commercial and generated no revenue.

There was speculation because the Star Trek: Bridge Crew DLC was coming out which CBS was afraid that Stage 9 would outclass it, but who knows what goes on in the minds of CBS lawyers.

Good thing about it is that the team that worked on Stage 9 moved onto a recreation of the Orville now.

Spotify doesn’t recognize the album entity. It’s the most shocking and offensive thing a music platform could do IMO. For anyone who catalogs their music and actively grooms their library, Spotify is unusable.
I'm using copilot and chatgpt regularly and it is helpful.

Transcripting and summarizing meetings was never that easy.

It is already a game changing technology..

I'm lost on how you dismiss this.

Crypto on the other hand has not solved any problem and most peo still don't get it or even used it.

And very often we get new great ai things.

Nearly my whole family tried chatgpt.
They think there will be additional deterrence by making it super illegal. See "identity theft" for a previous example.
Nice, it works! I was a bit scared here because the querySelector() MDN docs say

> A string containing one or more selectors to match. This string must be a valid CSS selector string; if it isn't, a SyntaxError exception is thrown.

I'll test it out. If this works good, we shave off 5 bytes towards a 176-byte snippet!
That would probably be from the chemo your wife is on rather than the osimertinib. Chemo tends to cause mouth ulcers along with hair loss etc.
Programming Language to Track Workouts?
Does anyone know of a programming language to track workouts? I keep my workouts in a text file and keep thinking how great it would be if this was actually a programming language that I could run to get information out of and to run queries against? Maybe queries isn't the correct word, but functions that could take the text file as input and output certain specific data. For example: how many pushups I did in the past 30 days.

I'm barely a programmer, though I do enjoy it, so I'm not sure if this is a dead end idea or not.
> How come we are ok with euthanasia for pets but not people?

I think because:

- It mostly wasn't an issue we had to deal with until recently because we didn't have the medical techniques to preserve people's lives so long anyway.

- There are some concerns around people being forced into it that require any laws enabling it to be carefully designed.

- Religion providing it's usual function of inertia around societal customs slowing the change.

Pretty much everyone I know under the age of 60 (and many older) support euthanasia for people who have dementia or some other unpleasant condition that affects their quality of life (self-determined, not forced on people), so I'm quietly confident that it will be happen soon.

I'll be pretty mad if it's not available for me if/when I get to the point that I want it!
Lifting an entire game could in no way be considered fair use. That will never pass.
I think the models change far too quickly for that to be viable. A chip has to last several years. Currently we're seeing groundbreaking models released every few months.
I mainly work in financial markets. I have personally seen it used many times in some places at most of the places I have worked at. KDB/Q is an important component for historical data and order capture here at OSL. The only issue I have is there are few developers and they cost a lot of money. We are lucky we have a very good one.
market was definitely undervaluing at end of 2022. compare to end of 2021 or even pre-pandemic (end of 2019) and returns are quite sensible.

I mean, I don't really care to optimize "number of buttons per screen" (and text can be as dense as it wants, although I usually set my font size to 16pt or above) but to each their own.
Apartment buildings in Asia are around 30 stories tall, which is the limit where you can use low skill labor and cheaper materials (going higher requires more skill and cost). Each floor has around 4-5 units, they have to be like that due to window requirements. Even China isn’t going to let you build a fat deep building with many non window units, which are called death traps. I lived in these buildings for 9 years, they are about as dense as you can get until things get very expensive or very dangerous.

Kowloon walled city was torn down in the early 90s for good reasons.
But, again, do they need to? It seems to me like "market share" is a metric relevant to companies pursuing VC-founded, unicorn lottery-ticket scale. If they generate enough revenue to pay competive wages, cover their operating costs, and make a reasonable (real-world, not VC-world) return on investment, they're a gosh-darn success. It's only within tech, where valuations and evaluations sailed off into ZIRP-ified bizarro-world, that people think of that as a failure of ambition or execution. I think it's time to re-assess our mental models.
I've been thinking the same but on the other hand, that would mean they are operating at a huge loss which doesn't scale

APL came out a LONG time ago and was sold by IBM for awhile. If you look for Dyalog's customers you'll see some recognizable names. Volvo has their entire inventory system in Dyalog APL or something like that if iirc. Kdb+ is used a good bit on Wall Street and also by F1 racing and a few other places. I'm sure J is in use somewhere, but it's probably a bit rarer.

Speaking of Golden Age twists! And not fully thought-through ones, at that. It requires two assumptions: first that there exists a yahweh-style creator deity, and second that Genesis 1:26 is accurate to fact. Even taking both as axiomatic, this approach still further assumes that this likeness, namely the one in which we as humans are made, must also be the only likeness in which a mortal could be made after its creator.

Given the assumptions of faith under which we here labor, it may also be wise to heed 1 Cor. 2:11, in which the convert Roman makes one of his few worthy statements in warning men against imagining they can know the mind of God. In that light, the proposition lacks soundness even under its own axioms.
> I can’t want for them to use AI to remaster Star Trek Next Gen (and other old sci-fi) into 4K. This kind of application hurts nobody.

If the remaster only improves video and audio fidelity sure. But they may also swap out characters, personalities, and plot points, based on the whims of the studio.

AI controlled by major powerbrokers is going to further the aims of those power brokers.
Nixon hyped up some legislation 53 years ago, few believed the hype, and the hype was clear to the rest very shortly thereafter.

You are right that progress is slow and expensive in a lot of areas.

It seems you are frustrated or angry about it. What do you want people to do? Are we not spending enough on research? Are we spending too much?

>I finish stuff I delete it.

I run into the issue where I’m told to start new things all the time, then things don’t get finished, because of other new things that “need” to start. And no one ever seems to care than nothing actually gets done… but someday they might. So the list of what I need to look through keeps growing with nothing to keep it in check.

I suspect in the near future there will be a number of cases where individuals will intentionally release a bunch of AI "chaff", in the sense that having a very large number of bad videos/texts about them, of which many are clearly false, will disguise the actual bad behavior. I'm not sure what term/phrase will be used for this particular tactic, but I am absolutely certain one will arise.
Consciousness and emotions, sure. Understanding, I'm not so sure.

This is an entirely predictable consequence of Goodhart's Law [0] and Google ought to have known better.

I can believe that Google was genuinely trying to help their users by providing more useful search results, yet, due to Goodhart's law they have in fact accomplished the opposite. As a concrete example, previously references to "lab testing" actually meant something, but Google turned its immense power on that and similar keywords and destroyed their information content.

It is irresponsible of Google to naively act in ignorance of the entirely predictable consequences of their actions. Yes, Goodhart's law is counterintuitive, but it's been a well-known principle for decades and Google ought to realize that they are powerful enough it applies to any action they take and take that into account when making decisions.

Tasting Notes from Evil Rabbit
You seem to have misinterpreted "[those comments] are exactly what I hoped to hear reflected about my creation". They weren't saying "I enjoyed hearing those comments about htmz, which is a thing I created" - they were saying "those comments are what I _had_ hoped to hear about my (unreleased and unnamed) creation, which indicates that htmz is a good implementation of a similar idea that I had"
I posted on HN before heading to lunch (at my law firm) on day. Got tons of users that way (but not as many as I'd have gotten if I had an email signup form on the site...doh). I later learned it was the 9th-most-popular Show HN post ever. [1]

I also got some good traction posting on a couple subreddits, but I learned that you have to be very careful abiding by the rules about posting about your own stuff, and other details. After a couple posts with amazing trajectories that were shot down, I stopped even trying. I know some people have had more success by convincing their users to post there, which sidesteps much of the potential drama around self-promotion.

So link them and be helpful rather than mouth off. The links you provided are to GH star-based lists, and all the sub-lists on those pages are also star-based lists. I'm sure you're right, so I'm keen to see what you're talking about.
AR/XR absolutely sucks for anything productivity. Do not be fooled by the massive marketing campaign that Apple is pushing. This stuff is nothing new, headsets have been around for quite some time, and plenty of people have tried to use them for productivity, and they all suck. Lighter units suffer from lower resolutions and lack of capability (many are simply just a display projected in your FOV without any AR/XR), and have issues with blurriness/latency, while heavier headsets are just too bulky to wear for extended periods of time.

If you want the most productivity on the go, nothing beats a laptop with good resolutions that runs linux and the i3 windows manager (and no, nothing on Mac comes close). Once you get used to i3 commands, you won't need a second display.

For AR/XR, wait till someone releases a pair of glasses with a tiny low res monochrome text based Micro Oled display, with an open source interface.

In principle you could attach a reasoning module to the neural network and only use the LLM part of the network for input/output.

They did a stellar job on this (which makes me double-plus pissed at CBS, knowing how good their Enterprise-D recreation could've been). Unfortunately, Seth MacFarlane seems to be doing less than stellar job at keeping the Orville going for now.
Decoupling and abstraction not distinguishing.

Agree with your take.

I am currently enduring a home builder who seems to think he doesn’t need to take notes. He has made so many errors and has had to do so much rework that he’s run out of time to fix legitimate problems.

His belief in his ability to retain information way exceeds his ability.

Understanding and accepting my own constraints and limitations helped me to become far better at what I do. People who don’t take notes make me very anxious. (This includes waiters).
Every mainline-supported device starts out as "booting to console". GPU support on ARM SoC's is currently achieved through a variety of community-developed drivers, such as lima and panfrost. That part at least is comparatively well-understood. The manufacturer does not directly support these community drivers, so it's not very clear how much Qualcomm could help there.
