Helmets people. They're mandatory in my economy, the counterfactual is that more survivable injuries present in hospital: these people used to die, now they have horrific injuries.

I'll take the horrific injury risk thanks. I don't ride on roads now, too scary. Bike only, pavement and a very small subset of car carrying road to bridge the gaps. Always with a helmet.
I am talking about the matrix/vector coprocessor (AMX). You can find some reverse-engineered documentation here: https://github.com/corsix/amx

On M3 a singe matrix block can achieve ~ 1TFLOP on DGEMM, I assume it will be closer to 4TFLOPS for SGEMM. The Max variants have two such blocks. Didn't do precise benchmarking myself, but switching Python/R matrix libraries to use Apple's BLAS result in 5-6x perf improvement on matrix heavy code for me.
I was doing an online check in with the national Argentinian airline. My wife’s and I data was already in the system from the previous checkin.

AI Regurgitating Propaganda
neal.fun's Infinite Craft is a fun app, you play by combining two words to make a new word, e.g "Water" + "Fire" makes "Steam", "Shark" + "Hurricane" makes "Sharknado", etc.

Except it's exposing AI bias, combining "Palestine" + "Child" makes "Terrorist".

The underlying LLM (Meta AI's LLaMA) doesn't know who Palestinian children are. It doesn't know they're dying en masse from bombings and starvation. It's only regurgitating propaganda that associates them with terrorism.
You'd be surprised. I still see a lot of companies using something like Heroku or other custom solutions.
Should students ever write code then? Most of it's not going to be production quality, so it seems like you think that would be a waste of their time.

My experience over and over in life is that I read about something complex, think I understand it, go try to do it, eg, writing a proof or code or teaching it to someone else, and discover that there were some aspects of the thing that I didn't fully understand or had a misconception about. That observation that even very smart people are good at convincing themselves they understand something better than they actually do is basically why the Feynman Technique works so well. I tend to just like to write toy programs and simulations to check my understanding. The resulting prose or program isn't the point, it's all the points you hit in the process where you realize you're missing something. I write small prototypes pretty much every day, learn from them, throw them away, then apply what I learned on the real problem I'm working on. I find that to be an incredibly fruitful approach.

I coded up a toy RSA implementation after we had a lecture about RSA in my Number Theory class. And I didn't say that it didn't work; it just obviously didn't perform very well because that wasn't the point (I was very new to programming and working in JS as that was the only environment available to me). I'm sorry I can't pinpoint the exact details of what I learned about RSA a quarter century ago. When I took a Cryptography class a couple years later taught by Michael Rabin, I did very well and felt like I had a better grasp of some of the basic ideas than I would've if I hadn't spent some time working through some basic implementations.

> For example, you might consider buying a house in the current, highly uncertain housing market: You really want the house but envision yourself in a few years, having bought right at the top of the market, just before a real-estate bubble bursts; then you imagine yourself struggling with the equity in your home being worth less than the value of your mortgage. So you rent for another year

What kind of struggle?

In this example, you bought that home because you wanted to live in it, not for generating income. Why would you even care about some abstract worth that other people are randomly assigning to it?
I really like the design of that website kulor.

It would be interesting if you could have a REPL in that style design, and you can reorder the panels of running processes, it reminds me of Yahoo, Lycos, Excite portals in the early web. I think they're also called portlets.
It's not about the final outcome(which is hard to argue with, obviously everyone would want that), but I understand the sentiment in that I actively don't want a car equipped with all the tech necessary to enable self driving - because it's going to be extremely complicated and costly, not to mention a whole range of privacy concerns that I'm sure a lot of people here share. If we're talking about some ideal imaginary car that's 20k euro and can do self driving with all processing done locally with nothing uploaded to the manufacturer - sure, who wouldn't want that? But we all know it's not at all what the tech is going to be, not for a very very long time, if ever.

One person's saw literally triple checks the measurements before cutting, minimizes wastage, runs 3x faster, and is built by a company specializing in making saws.

The other saw was hand forged in a basement by the user, breaks every other day, and has a totally different blade width, and can only be used by the owner.
0. Learn technologies first, if they are complex. Try on small not significant services first.

1. Do one thing at a time.

2. Start simple.

I migrated our services to Kubernetes without any issues. But it took two years of learning and trying, migrating small services. I tried several approaches before coming to the most suitable and that’s not something you would find in the Internet. I’m using gitops without automation, I just kubectl apply -k what I need, because I decided back at a time, that flux was unnecessarily complex to start with. Now I have few dozens of services and good understanding of things, I’m thinking about introducing flux.
You don't need to do all this though. Just look at NextDoor.com, it works fine for mostly only having locals. And the results are disastrous: it's the most toxic place on the internet.

In reality, though, a migration to K8S in most organizations won't take only 11 weeks because most organizations are completely dysfunctional.

You usually calculate it on a yearly basis.

This is bad advice.

1) Be clear about your requirements, understand your target platform and take the time to estimate costs. Blindly picking an off the shelf cloud provider can ruin you if you suddenly get hit with unexpected costs e.g. ingress/egress.

2) Kubernetes is often the sensible way to go so long as you're using a managed platform e.g EKS. As it allows you to build out your platform in a scalable, highly-available and geo-distributed way without needlessly tying yourself to any one cloud.

That ANS patent supposedly relates to refining the coding tables based on symbols being decided.

It is slower for decoding and Jpeg xl does not do that for decoding speed reasons.

The specification doesn't allow it. All coding tables need to be in final form.
Is it practical to use hardware video decoders to decode the image formats derived from video formats, like AVIF/AV1 and HEIC/H264? If so that could be a compelling reason to prefer them over a format like JPEG XL which has to be decoded in software on all of today's hardware. Everything has H264 decode and AV1 decode is steadily becoming a standard feature as well.

dwww need not be limited to localhost access, meaning that a single Debian system can serve docs to others (LAN, intranet, public Internet, ...).

Of course, all of the documentation that's exposed via dwww is accessible on that host's filesystem. But dwww also provides a few additional affordances: Web-formatted output, a directory of installed documentation (organised by source / type), and (if you have swish++ installed), full-text search.

Ask HN: What AI assistants are already bundled for Linux?
Are there any AI assistants which come bundled with one of the popular distros (Debian-like, Arch, …)?

Or anything which is free (at least as in beer) and readily bundled in distro-specific installation packages?
No. This (and many others) are just cases of "if you can't walk, don't try to run".
> Klarna boasted in its announcement on Tuesday that the AI assistant “is doing the equivalent work of 700 full-time agents.”

I mean if the person works 8 hours a day and 5 days a week while the "ai" works 24/7 I guess the maths somewhat checks out
> It is a literal (as in both printed on the key and referenced in the OS/docs) key on a Mac keyboard with, you're just confused by the fact it also has another name.

I feel like we're in a weird place in this discussion. AFAICT no keyboard Apple currently ships labels Option as Alt, though it is true they have shipped keyboards with this in the past. There's no need to condescend, or maybe you were just referring to PC keyboards and trying to bail yourself out here?

> Like what? If you just move 4 keys all the things will know, that's a system-wide rebinding.

Web apps don't know. Swap Control/Option and load up Google Docs. The binds they list don't take into account the swap, though the new binds work correctly. Also in iTerm2 Pointer settings the Cmd/Control/Option icons don't update. Etc. etc. etc.

> You've only provided a single example Ctrl-C example

My point is that it's always gonna be a little imperfect and maybe a lot of work. Let's say you did want to basically make iTerm2 function like xterm in Linux; what that means is Ctrl-C is cancel and copy/paste is done w/ the mouse. Well, you can't get rid of Command-C for copy, and you can't get the "copy on select" behavior either, so that's a bust. Let's abandon a Linux-alike and just add an App Shortcut for ^C -> Copy. Some terminals are smart enough to use Copy when something's selected and use Cancel otherwise, but Vim's isn't :(. Also if you have anything bound to Ctrl-C in those apps you lose the app's bind, and you don't always have a way to get it back. Pasting is another problem: if you bind ^V -> Paste, any terminal app that uses ^V as a keybinding (Vim again) will instead get whatever's in your clipboard.

> But also, if you recognize there are many clashes that need to be resolved via rebinding, then this "rebinding 4 keys is more work than rebinding 3." doesn't make sense, guess that's why you're confused again. Alt is germane precisely because rebinding 4 keys isn't enough since default keybinds work differently with these modifiers.

> it's easy to rebind the few terminal Ctrl keys to Cmd without moving those 4 keys around, and resolve only those direct clashes

You can't have it both ways. Either rebinding is easy or there are many clashes.

> But on a PC Alt is used for some common operations, so if you move Ctrl to the more convenient thumb location, you'll have to deal with moving some of those keybinds, so resolve clashes that potentially touch more apps/keybinds than just terminal keybinds

Great, the Alt you were talking about is for PC keyboards. That's what I thought; dunno why we had to go deep into like, API docs for macOS. Sometimes people goof! That's OK! Now I see what you meant here. Yeah but like, welcome to more rebinds across more apps.

I think Derek is now busy slapping some random AI onto his current database woes, to further improve his CV.
But with programming (at least I haven't seen many programmer cases to the contrary, I have seen in other (gig) jobs) you can escalate to a human; this is going towards not being able to do that. So you have

- remote workers

- strict scoring (score <= 0 -> fired)

- no human to contact

So when you are stuck in a loop (like my other response to asking what I have seen in practice) and you cannot reach another human to resolve your issue, your score will sink (because you are not delivering) and you get fired. All automated, all LLM, no humans. It'll first happen in other professions (I know at least one multi national that does this with data entry people as a trial now), but programming won't be far behind.
It depends on how you use your mouse, I tend to keep one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard for a lot of the day and it's frustrating not having space to swing left when there's a numpad. I've been using a tenkeyless and an external numpad for many years now and find it much preferable to a full-size keeb.

Actually, I think that a real features for chat would be the ability to allow "different speeds":

- some questions requires "urgent" answers (for example: missing info in a meeting)

- some interactions may be processed "in the flow", during the day, when time is available

- some interactions are "human noise", people just chatting

Right now, with teams & others, everything may be "urgent" so you'll have to check and see (so interrupting your work)

Moreover, when it's not urgent, you may decide to answer later... and just forget it (because it's not a new message anymore)

So maybe that's a place where AI could help: show only what's urgent... and reminds at a later time for other kinds of chats

Just an idea

I wouldn’t say this is scope creep. This is intentional resume driven development. Someone is ticking through checkboxes so they can say they’ve done X. I can say with experience that on small teams this can really grind productivity to halt really quickly. It’s often masked by a desire to solve all the problems. Well the problem with that is that no problems are solved, although certainly more are created.

No. ACM has been on a slow path towards making everything Open Access for many years now - driven both by internal and external feedback. Given that the ACM Digital Library (individual and library subscriptions) has been subsidizing other ACM endeavors, that making stuff OA is not something you can take back later, and that the required article processing charges (APCs) cause other problems, they have been rather careful with the transition.

They plan to make the entire digital library freely accessible by January 1, 2026.

To expand on that, AT&T had a regulated monopoly. You were not allowed to attach non AT&T devices to their network, and they had the only network (and no one else could set one up by law). You did not own a phone, but leased it on a monthly basis.

When the telephone answering machine was invented (not by AT&T) you could not legally attach it.

The plus of this arrangement was that AT&T made devices that would last for decades, all areas of the country got service (regardless of wealth or population density or politics), and costs were not surprising. The minus of this arrangement was that innovation was stifled and some costs were artificially high. It became a competitive disadvantage that was holding our country back from innovation. There is a correlated timeframe between the breakup of AT&T and the massive expansion of the computer industry.
