I've devised a way to encode the entire game history in 18 bits. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39464824.

Note that most poker games were very easy in those days. You'd log in and enter a couple of tables where most of your opponents were going to take the name 'Hold'em' very literally, also some of them were drunk and you could basically expect them to bet with anything without paying any attention to your table image.

So the optimal strategy in those days was to simply wait for solid hands, you would get paid for them anyway even if you had been folding everything for the last hour.
Thanks! Looking back at your comment history, apologies for not responding to your comment last time. And appreciate your email after that post with advice as well.

So, Shopify does have something similar called the shop.app which is only for Shopify stores. My best guess is that the e-commerce platforms are solving a different problem: store creation. I'll also note that each individual e-commerce platform isn't incentivized to aggregate and send users to stores not built with their platform. When we launched in December, we only had Shopify stores. Now we have Shopify and WooCommerce, and working on support for Squarespace and Wix sites as well.

For user traffic, the primary strategy is to build features with a viral loop back to the product. I mentioned this in another comment but we have have the concept of making shareable 'lists' of products you like. This is already working for us, at a small scale.

The general plan is to aggregate as many e-commerce products as possible from different platforms, keep improving the search experience, add automated filters to ensure high quality products, and then keep layering in features that drive a viral loop back to Agora.
Tangential: I once shrunk a representation from 65 bits to 60 - it sped up my program considerably:

I wrote a solver (https://github.com/phimuemue/brainball_solver) for "brainball" (https://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=889), a (rubik-like) puzzle involving 13 cells arranged in a circle.

Each cell has: A number (from 1 to 13). - 4 bits. Two sides colored white resp. yellow. - 1 bit.
The goal is to arrange the cells in number-ascending order, all white sides face up.

Representing each cell would lead to 13*(4+1)=65 bits. A "canonicalized" representation where the cell number 13 is implicitly at a certain position shrinks the representation to 12*(4+1)=60 bits and fits into a 64-bit integer (https://github.com/phimuemue/brainball_solver/blob/master/sr...).

This was one of the things that made my solver reasonably fast (others were lookup tables (https://github.com/phimuemue/brainball_solver/blob/master/bu...), and aggressive function inlining (e.g. https://github.com/phimuemue/brainball_solver/blob/master/sr...)).

Throttling can still result in an effective DoS for the affected user, as they get stuck in the queue behind the brute force attempts. Throttling based on source address is not practical either given many brute force attempts use many hacked hosts as their sources to get around this very sort of limit.

Yes, if you have a good enough filesystem, that doesn't mind reading thousands of tiny files. Or housing tens of thousands of files in a directory.

LilyPond: Music notation for everyone
What if you want to do something expensive, like design a new fusion power plant? That can’t make money in a few years. There’s many types of businesses that need investment to get rolling.
I'm assuming you're targeting this mainly at enterprises and business use-cases such as callcenters, but are you planning to make this usable for personal use cases as well? For example, having a bot to bounce ideas off while coding. Pretty much "just" the TTS / STT layer to talk to my finetuned LLM in a natural manner while you handle interruptions and such.

I think the main issue right now for personal use would be cost (and I'm guessing STT / TTS are the most expensive parts..)
It could be that the final testing would also have to happen after the 1 year of conventional weld-test cycle. But yeah it's not clear.

I think Apple may do interesting things here with their rumored focus in purely on-device LLM functionality across the OS, taking advantage of all the hardware work they've put into efficiency and 'Neural Engine' cores. This year's WWDC may be quite interesting.
The materials they are welding can have lead times of months/years from the forgeries and the quality requirements are insane because of the safety/enviromental/economic considerations.

So therefore the work has to be inspected[0] regularly and everything has to pass before work continues.

Actually, there may be something here. Politicians seem to be blathering on about "prepackaged" hacking tools, and similar terms. They obviously aren't going to ban ICs, or breadboards, so in their minds I think it's all about "Tools that are designed for non-hackers to use, in ways we don't like".

Right or wrong re: Flipper's uses, the "just take this and go" is part of it.

I do wonder, right now lockpick tools are banned, unless you are a locksmith. I wonder if one day, you'll be charged with "hacking tools", because you have some hobby project in your backpack.

Good detailed example. One simple one I like to use without going too much in depth - it used to be considered heresy to simply complete in the small blind when the action had folded to you - you were supposed to raise or fold and if you deviated from that in the early 00’s you’d have been widely mocked.

Solvers love completing the sb. They also occasionally like to open limp on the button against certain strategies - another thing that would have been sacrilege not that long ago that’s completely commonplace now. The “donk bet” once belonged there too.
it is. I willingly gave a variant to do in the absence of tomatoes. You can add them and get a more proper ketchup (I wrote optionally add tomato sauce, but it's true most people call ketchup only what has tomato in it. To me, the taste is quite similar even in the absence of tomatoes, what really gives the ketchup signature taste, again my opinion, is the balance of vinegar/sugar).

Youtube is a mirror, it shows you more of what you watch (at least most of the time.) If you can't resist the temptation of clicking on clickbait/trash, it will show more of that to you.

How to use youtube:

1. Log out, clear your cookies or clear your watch history.

2. Turn off autoplay.

3. Search for a few high quality videos/channels you have seen before, to seed the recommendation algorithm. I use the "Applied Science" channel for this but you use what suits you.

4. Never click on clickbaity trash.
Yeah this is typical junior code ninja opinion. Folks with 20+ years under our belts know damn too well how humane aspect is more important than literally anything in long term.

My wife for example is a doctor. They have cabinets of 4 GP, 1 of them as we found out is a proper sociopath with very unstable personality when things are not perfect. He is driving whole cabinet which employs 10 people to the ground very effectively, wife is running away and hoping it will collapse only after she got out legally. If it wasn't for psycho moves of this guy that cabinet would thrive. While he is consistently being reported as a great doctor by his patients. She is moving into another cabinet where head of it understood it extremely well, and is super picky about people from personality perspective.

People here on HN love stories about experts saving the world, they as experts see themselves in that position. In real life, thats hardly ever the case, most long term problems come from people and not how you solve technical challenges. Once you covered this by far the most important aspect, then of course professional excellence is next step. Never make the mistake of changing the order of those 2, ever.
You assume that boolean operations are constant time, and whether that holds depends on the uarchitecture and how sophisticated the optimization layers are (e.g. nothing prevents the compiler or even the CPU from short-circuiting the OR as soon as the first XOR is non-zero).

Computing a MAC of the two input values under a once-off random key is actually much stronger.

As a matter of that, this highlights that the goal is to lower the SNR for the attacker, and constant time computation is only one of the two non-exclusive ways to achieve that, the other being adding sufficient noise to their measurements.

Yes, over NFS it's slow, but nowadays everyone has local devices or they just login via SSH or virtualize whole desktops.

Still, if you have over 100k emails, mbox will be slow to parse for obvious reasons as it has to parse every line with often having mboxes as huge as 500MB if not more. Your FS and VFS layers will do a far better task on reading the first lines of thousands of files. In such case your mail client will parse the headers to generate the inbox layout in a much faster way.
YouTube gets more minutes watched and ads shown if you discover other videos via search.

It’s not like Google search, where being the best at search is a meaningful competitive advantage and necessary for survival. If YouTube found a credible competitor, I strongly suspect they’d improve their search (from the users’ perspective).

Note that I wrote that in 2018 based on hearsay from well before that (I live in the area and have friends who worked at ASML at the time). Things might’ve changed in the ~10 years since then (for better or worse!).

EDIT: there’s a commenter named hcfman here in the thread who works at ASML and says that my comment is garbage (which I take to mean that it’s way outdated). Consider updating your impression accordingly, I see no reason to doubt what they’re saying. Last I checked ASML really did want to improve the software situation, looks like they did.
Really depends on the context and what you’re trying to do. If you’re trying to come up with an explanatory or causal theory of the relationship between some sequence and thousands of other sequences, then maybe that starts to turn into excessive “data mining.”

If you’re using it more as a form of search (information retrieval), then I think there’s no harm in using it. For example, for ranking relevant embedding vectors.

Apparently it works quite well for finding similar genes (I guess you replace base pairs with integers or something like that). Sometimes you just need a good place to look and then you can confirm things independently.
You don't have to agree to this policy to use the model.

IANAM or historian for that matter, but shouldn't an article like this mention that the use of positional decimal fractions is much older? at least according to the Wikipedia article on decimal separators:

"Positional decimal fractions appear for the first time in a book by the Arab mathematician Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi written in the 10th century.[9] The practice is ultimately derived from the decimal Hindu–Arabic numeral system used in Indian mathematics,[10] and popularized by the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi,[11] when Latin translation of his work on the Indian numerals introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world. His Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing presented the first systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations in Arabic."

For those interested in some of the recent MoE work going on, some groups have been doing their own MoE adaptations, like this one, Sparsetral - this is pretty exciting as it's basically an MoE LoRA implementation that runs a 16x7B at 9.4B total parameters (the original paper introduced a model, Camelidae-8x34B, that ran at 38B total parameters, 35B activated parameters).

This sounds like a crackpot comment but I've witnessed it firsthand. Got some downright abhorrent content in my DMs from a bot that had joined a mutual server, sending me an invite link to a CP server. It included photos. I messaged Discord via their support line and even DMed them on Twitter. Reported the bot on Discord directly, through the interface. Nothing, no response. The content sat in my DMs without the user being banned for what felt like a year.
That was in a lower price bracket than I expected, and even after maxing out the memory to 64GB it still appears quite affordable. Definitely something to keep in mind for the next purchase.

Proceeds would be reinvested… Municipal ownership is the only proper solution. Just a thought.

There's also a technical reason, which is that the build system is written in the language it targets. So the cool tool is written in coolang. That's obviously not required, you could use any programming language for the cool tool, it just happens that all people that care about the cool tool, understand the needs of the ecosystem, have issues with missing features etc. already have a non zero intersection of languages they know of: they all know coolang.

If coolang decided to try to add coolang support to Bazel instead, they would probably have to learn Java[1]. Current maintainers or contributors to Bazel don't know coolang, and they don't care about it much, especially in the early stage. And maybe coolang developers don't know Java, or even actively hate it with a passion (that's why they were on the market for a new language). And even if some coolang developer decided to contribute to Bazel, the barrier would be much higher: being a mature build system with so many features and different needs, surely working in it is going to be complex; there will be many different concepts, and layers, and compromises, and APIs to work with. So for them it just makes more sense to use coolang so that all coolang developers can contribute to it having a real need for the cool tool to improve.

[1] I know nothing of Bazel. So just bare with the example even if it's technically not correct.
