Agree on the first point, I think using JS makes more sense when you need to update some client state, like a dropdown or even that edit example. But htmx makes a lot more sense when you need to render some data from a server. In a SPA, you receive JSON, only to transform it back into HTML to render, so why not skip that middle step?

You might find https://data-star.dev/ interesting, it takes some of the modern approaches (signals, etc) and mixes it with the efficiency of sending straight-up HTML, htmx style. It's very similar to using Alpine + htmx together.

Linux is a well-funded open-source project in use by every major tech organization in the world, as well as the US government.

We write data into the tag's digital memory, not the pattern. The pattern is immutable.

We use the pattern to mask the tag's private key. The tag authenticates itself with that private key (which is installed on the tag by the manufacturer and can be signed with a CA cert to prove it comes from the manufacturer). The tag can't decrypt the key without the correct pattern, so simply peeling it off and sticking it onto a counterfeit won't work. There is no need for a database. The AI runs on the tag and makes sure tiny changes to the pattern won't make the private key unrecoverable by outputting a "low-res" version of the pattern that is immune to such tiny changes.

That's how I understood it.

We are talking about increasing the intercard bandwidth, assuming that’s a bottleneck. It can be done by either increasing pcie bandwidth, or using nvlink. If you use nvlink, increasing pcie does not provide any additional benefit because nvlink is much faster than pcie.

>> In the French translation I have, the translator mentions that "wrath" is used once or so in the book, only to describe Zeus's behavior.

It's the very first word of the very first verse:

μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος

Literal translation:

μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
[The rage] [sing] [goddess] [of Peleus' son] [Achilles]

More grammatically: "Sing, o goddess, the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus".

It really is all about Achilles having a hissy fit, throwing a tantrum, stamping his little feet, chucking his toys out of the pram and holding his breath until he's blue in the face. The analysis of the translator in your book is over-engineered, I would say.

There are multiple reasons, including what you mentioned. The first thing is that test codes are generally considered "safe" to write and change, so it won't be end of the world even if LLM does something subtly wrong. The next is that reading a test change is usually easier than writing it, which is the entire idea of golden/approval tests. And finally... people generally don't like writing tests, which is probably the biggest reason...

> WASM-based dimension reduction viz

> Implement a dimension reduction algorithm in Rust and compile to WASM and integrate the WASM code with Qdrant Web UI.

Easy, just use a Rust crate to fit a PCA (https://crates.io/crates/pca), then at runtime do a matmul between the fitted matrix and the embeddings to get it reduced. :P

Speaking of which, there's a surprising spike in downloads for that crate on the date this blog post was made.

It's not as simple in practice, and even popular dimensionality reduction techniques like UMAP require you to reference the original dataset which is infeasible for large datasets. The hacky approach that would be good for production use (maybe not "just want to visualize 2D embeddings because they look cool") would be to train a small Parametric UMAP model (with likely a non-Rust implementation: https://umap-learn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parametric_umap....), then convert the trained model to ONNX for WASM.
Then why did Intel and AMD add it to their chips? My guess is AVX is used for when it is worth the effort. If I had to guess, it is used for scientific computing, maybe video processing (as in movies, TV, etc.), maybe audio processing, etc.

In the United States this medication has a black box warning about fetal damage.

For those who are elsewhere, a "black box warning" is the most serious warning the United States Food and Drug Administration can require -- it's called that because they mandate that the manufacturer print the warning at the top of the package insert, surrounded by a black box to draw attention.

Tbf, half the linguistics discipline thought that language's grammar was somehow hardcoded into our brain, which is clearly ridiculous if you look at how LLMs work, so you're not the only one who had misconceptions.

Perhaps you can turn your idea around slightly into finding a language that finds a balance between formality and universality, rather than computers and humans. Because even though computers now speak our language they do not use it in a logical way at all (arguably because we humans don't).

And while mathematics is very formal it has a lot of trouble expressing ideas from different branches that aren't as formal. Things like fuzzy logics have been created and many things like that but they are still very much on the formal side.

Perhaps you could even derive an academic language for a specific field, perhaps standardizing between synonymous constructions. You could even use LLMs to accelerate the process. Maybe LLMs are a good thing that makes your work easier!

Kinda funny how this is currently sharing the top 2 on hn with "institutions try to preserve the problems to which they are the solution."
The something that happens is that slices are not heap collections (unlike hashmap which say even less about allocations, but I'm sure you'll find an other excuse), so you can't even increment their length without returning a new copy.

I also fail to see how this would translate to

> make programmers mindful of the cost of allocating new space on array operations.

anyway. `append` is not taking in an allocator, reporting allocation failures, or reporting reallocations here. Like proper vectors, it's silently reallocating (and over-allocating) as needed.

even amateur balloonists are supposed to contact ATC so that NOTAMs can be issued. i launched one to about 90,000'. ATC asked me if we had any kind of radio beacons for them to follow, but we were way too small for that. we did have a GPS that we could get some altitude updates on, and ATC asked we update them at every 10,000' for as long as it could be tracked.

if someone is operating a balloon and NOT contacting ATC, they deserve to have there thing shot down. that's just highly irresponsible. it's a simple phone call, and then there's no confusion on if your balloon is a foreign spy platform or not

This is kinda wrong. Reproduction is the perquisite for evolution. Evolution does not care much about your "survival" as a whole, especially after you reproduced. In "Survival of the fittest", you can better think of survival on the level of genes, not individuals, for the most part.

You don't need to have internalized every part of SOLID to answer the interviewer's question. You need to have internalized a single part.

I can only remember two letters myself: the "S" (the Single Responsibility Principle) — which seems like the unforgettable letter in the thing — and the L. That would suffice to answer the interviewer's question.

(I'm not sure I agree with the interview question, as I'm not sure what I, as an interviewer, would hope to glean from it.)

Overte, an Open Source social VR platform, has received an NLnet grant
Overte is an Open Source desktop/VR platform similar to VR Chat or Resonite.

Unlike most other similar platforms, we follow a very distributed model. We don't have a walled garden users must log into, instead the architecture is reminiscent of a 3D webserver -- anyone can deploy the server anywhere in a few minutes, and connect to it.

We don't monetize anything, collect data, or deal with cryptocurrency or NFTs.

The grant will be used to modernize the rendering engine, build system, audio system, and make some other improvements:

Ok, here's proof of axial length changing following application of the method for years:

There was a member on the forums who was measuring his axial elongation while at the same time applying the reduced lens method. His result is shown in the following plot.[0] It is a significant improvement that can't be ignored, and can't be explained by day to day fluctuations or measurement error. So we know that at least some level of axial elongation can be reversed, and the idea is not complete quackery.

Also the reduced lens method has nothing to do with the Bates method, or undercorrection that leads to blur adaptation.

> "The only scientifically proven intervention for reducing myopia is surgery"

Which surgery reduces myopia? If you're thinking of LASIK then it doesn't change axial elongation.

Not die - rot. All those major tech organizations want their own stuff in the kernel, and I'm skeptical they have the long term viability of linux at heart - rather than, say, the needs of their internal tech, quarterly stock, or even a promotion or two. I've seen examples surface even here on hn of Linus taking down e.g. google engineers for submitting bad code. What happens when Linus isn't there, with the leverage to insist on technical excellence? Linux won't die, but it will ossify and rot.

I guess I don't understand the difference between a LLM "hallucinating" by probabilistically having chosen the wrong output given a certain input pattern, vs a human doing the same thing and just being "wrong". (But to be fair, this could just be my own lack of understanding about how LLMs and human brains work!)

I've certainly made that class of error myself, when I assumed that something followed a similar pattern (like in math, or writing & grammar, or coding) when it actually didn't.

I've also doubled-down on those errors when I tried to double-check my work, believing myself to have misapplied some intermediate step rather than having taken an entirely wrong approach to begin with.

I think the "why" here is "why are we assuming this failure mode is unique to LLMs and deserves novel terminology".

Not just any colonial history: the USA invaded the Dominican Republic as well. Crazy how they can't refrain themselves from doing it over and over.

Now, comparing Haiti and Dominican Republic solely on the basis that both are on the same island and had a colonial history is too much of a simplification to mean anything, and to be fair verges on racist conclusions. Almost like you're implying that Haitians are inherently worse than Dominicans.

But you can fix a lot. Some of the products I've worked at had Sentry alerts all the time that nobody paid attention to, whereas others (of very similar complexity) had them a few times a week, and every time somebody would immediately get on top of it and release a hotfix, usually in a span of the same day.
I think application of principles and best practices are often overrated. For one, best practices change over time. This means they were not best. Also, principles are just principles, they are rules with exceptions and apply in contexts and limitations. I find the DRY principle very useful for keeping code maintainable, but if applied at absurdum, the code becomes too abstract to be even comprehensible.

Cross-compiling is irrelevant, because if the behavior is processor-specific then the cross-compiler knows the behavior. Constant folding shouldn’t happen in this case because x is not constant. If you choose a saturating add consistently on this processor target, and document it, that’s fine.

Deleting dead code because the code demonstrably wouldn’t do anything (that is, it has defined behavior that is not observable) makes sense and is of course hugely useful. Deleting code that isn’t dead, it just doesn’t have a universally defined behavior, is the issue.
Back in '05 when I started self-hosting tt-rss I thought it'd be cool to add some "social" features to it. Specifically, I'd like to see new feed suggestions from people for whom I have followed feeds in-common.

My idea was dismissed by the tt-rss author (and at the time and I still had aspirations to submit patches). I gave up on submitting patches, forked the code for my personal use, and never got around to the "social" idea.

I don't know if mainstream feed readers still do OPML[0] exports or not. I'd enjoy seeing OPML files from people whose blogs I read.

Actually, I'd like it if people on HN published OPML files. Maybe I should. Hmmm...

All very fair! I guess I was thinking of the small CLI-related usecases that this is a more natural fit for. Writing a little monitoring gui for your program, making a few graphs from local files, etc. In that context I see web only requiring one-command startup (ie `npm start`), maybe two if you want a database. And then you have the entirety of the internet to steal from, rather than just the other Shoes/Textual devs.

> Open markets where markets have been open for awhile (and no new game changing things like new technology, new ideology, etc. have happened) will maintain homeostasis at that level.

I think "homeostasis" is overselling it, even if I agree in the short to medium term.

Any growth potential leads to pressure to take advantage of it, which leads to runaway growth until some sort of scarcity sets in, where one entity's ability to exploit the potential is decreased by other entities'. This leads to competition, which results in pressure for each entity to take advantage of more of it than other entities, which leads to entities evolving ways to restrict others' consumption even at the expense of their own. Free markets expand consumption of potential to the point of scarcity, at which time they produce evolutionary pressure towards non-free markets (via monopolies, regulatory capture, or whatever else is available).

It's like a nutrient-rich drainpipe getting so clogged up with algae that the water stops flowing. Or fishing, where it's all good until you start making a serious dent in next year's breeding stock.

Free markets in times of plenty can produce massive benefits. They raise people out of poverty, dramatically improve healthcare and education and opportunities, etc. AFAICT, they're the most powerful mechanism for doing so. And then eventually, they consume themselves.

I take back the complaint about using "homeostasis". After all, it applies to systems that will eventually die.
