> React is a competing frontend framework (which is now moving to adopt a Svelte-like compiled approach)

React has been moving in the direction of a compiled approach for over seven years now[1], predating Svelte’s first release. The introduction of hooks in 2018 grew out of early efforts on an optimizing compiler. Those earlier efforts were hampered by class semantics making things like constant folding across components difficult. React Forget seems like a predictable progression from there.

I think also interesting if you ask, what if the model consumed all information up to the point that a great discovery was made? If a model has all the information that Einstein had, could it determine that E = mc2?
I had the same issue with Teams a few years ago and I just switched to the browser version. Teams app was buggy anyway. No big deal.

The good thing with the browser version is rolling updates are immediate, no need to upgrade a flatpak or rpm. And if they fuck up, rollback is also immediate.

Also this is about removing the gnome x11 session package from the default install. That doesn't mean you can't run X11.

Having said that I don't know who would want to keep using X11 AND choose Fedora as its goto distro. This is a distro whose purpose is to push forward these kind of stuff, there are a number of much more conservative distros available and one could argue that if you are conservative and want to stay in the RPM/RH family you can use RHEL or a derivative distro such as Almalinux or Rocky. That is what I use on the media center computer in my living room for other reasons[1]. Back in the day someone would complain about outdated package but nowadays with tools like flatpak, podman and the toolbox this is just not true anymore.

[1] I don't power it up so often. I don't want to have tons of packages to update every time I power it up to watch a show on streaming. All I want is to be able to upgrade the browser's flatpak.
Strix Point isn't even out yet. Sure that is a laptop form factor and you won't be able to run those 130b models because of RAM constraints, but things like mixtral 8x7b will easily run at 20 tokens per second locally on your laptop within this year.
This is the kind of question that every NonSTEM people would struggle at. Given function F and G. For all input x, resulting F(x) = G(x), this indicate that obviously F and G is the same thing whether inside or outside.

I'm pretty sure this is also how Chrome behaves. I think I've seen this happen a couple times.

It's weird that it doesn't work since it uses webrtc for huddles. That's precisely what I had to enable in the browser to get various screen sharing websites to work.

Btw, this isn't for slack but teams: I use the website because their Linux app blows, but I actually use a totally different browser (chromium) to my main browser (firefox) intentionally. Occasionally when teams takes 100% cpu and memory for no reason, I can 'pkill chromium' without nuking firefox. So the "one less engine" argument wouldn't convince me.
I've been using VS for professional development in AAA games for over 10 years now, working with solutions of stupid sizes and I don't think I remember one instance of VS crashing, it just works, which is very unlike an MS product. My only gripe is that Intellisense is close to useless, but that's solved by installing Visual Assist, great product.
nice one! memories!
RAW is in linear light. Think spring-fresh, straight from the ADC.

JPEG is in perceptual (~log) light. Out of the tap, terrible.

It's also compressed.

There are lossless and lossy compressed RAW formats.
Perfect, I'm also in the NL and was hoping someone would have more information. I totally believe the GP being condescending about it, they are trained as gatekeepers to medical care to reduce costs to the system (wife is a doctor). It is also unimaginable to them, for whatever reason, that people would pay for things out of pocket.
Debian based distros (and all the others) have a command to run and get the sources for ALL open source packages installed on the system. So, there is nothing to do there. apt get source package.

If someone asks for source code for a library, simple point them to the GitHub repository. This isn’t rocket science and it isn’t worth automating because practically nobody asks for it.
A score of 14/100 on a test is unlikely to have cheated.
Some parts of Australia.

I was here for most of the pandemic and don't even own or use a dumb mobile phone let alone a smart one. Wasn't an issue in the slightest.
I think it’s not really relevant though to the current timeframe.

The expectation of the current bubble is that something will be delivered soon (in the next year or two)

I don’t see mass consumer hardware scaling up quickly enough in that time to have a product that will match the hype that everyone is showing with cloud based tools.
Its not free, but it can be cheap as in the recent times. You fire/"RTO"/"manage out" the well paid engineers of yesterday and hire cheaper engineers while the market is flooded with them.
I don't know if there was a remote LSAT option, but I could see this being the bar exam. It's pretty common to have to use crummy testing lockdown software for actual law school exams: they want you to write a bunch and nobody can handwrite anymore, nor does anyone want to read it, but they also don't have the capacity or inclination to provide computers for this purpose, so it's all BYOD. That's just for regular in-person exams, and the remote context only amps things up with the surveillance aspects.

A friend just recently described to me a similarly stressful experience of taking an AWS certification exam remotely and worrying about accumulating too many "strikes" in the eyes of the remote proctor and not being allowed to finish. So they actually preferred going to a testing center.
It'd be great if that was visible on the site, beyond the single marketing sentence.

I mean, instead of being a credibility booster (which this is, actually), it immediately triggered my BS detector.
> The only thing worse than grumpy people are the posiopaths who keep spreading through organizations.

There are many old adages for this: an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, fire doesn't beat fire, etc. Just because someone else is bad doesn't mean being bad in response is good.
I wondered who the letterist was. The old b&w has a great cursive which might be Herge himself but I entered the room with Leslie Lonsdale Coopers British translations in the 60s as red spine hardbacks, some of which I still have, and they will have Demartet's font style. The exclamation and question marks stick in my mind for some reason.
Wow thanks, already grabbed the first book and came back to others strongly agreeing - looking forward to checking it out.
> I think being energy dependent is a main goal of China's.

There is no way for China to be energy independent. The choice is really just choosing importing what kind of energy from which countries.

Imported energy is not a bad thing. It is actually a great way to balance trade. You can't expect the Chinese economy to run a trade surplus like hundreds of billions $ each year with the US and EU. Buying US natural gas is pretty good as long as you have a solid reliable alternative plan, e.g. Russian energy.
I think the OP is referring to hardware failures rather than software not playing well together.

Now that is something I don't need to bloat my VS instance.
The military has an understanding here which feels lacking from modern society.

You have a rank, you get to give orders, it's a hierarchy generally.

But the difference between an experienced, senior NCO and a junior officer is well understood, and built into the structures.

Specific examples: why is there an officer's mess? Is it classist? Or is it because familiarity breeds contempt, and when you need to order someone to do something if no one respects you; everyone dies?

On the other side of it, who eats last, the enlisted or the officers? If you get that wrong you get mutiny.
Interesting... I switched from VA to resharper two years ago or so. Does VA still receive regular updates? Have they improved significantly?
They’re trained to optimize guessing the next word. What they solve for to get this good at predicting the next word is an open question with answers hidden in plain sight in the weight blob.
When I someone says 'leader' I think another suckass follower yesing their way to the top. The environment, morals, humanity has nothing to do with their actions.

Do anyone but strawmen actually think this in 2024?
So .. a massive conspiracy which involves nearly all companies and all industries across the entire country, which all, in unison, jacked up prices, not because of valid economic reasons, but because they're all universally run by evil greedy mustache twirling villains that are all in cahoots?
For now, but https://lwn.net/Articles/961899/ highlights that there's a push to remove things even if there are people who are willing and able (and currently are) maintaining it.
Because there is no proof Hamas did that? And for some reason, sometimes, not everyone wants headlines to lie?
I guess I should clarify: I think it’ll get better on mass consumer hardware.

I just don’t think it will live up to the hype people have.

People are seeing Sora and StableDiffusion when they think of AI.

And yes I can run SD on my iPhone, but it’s a poor experience that’s difficult to productize.

The first real products will be so underwhelming compared to what people expect.

Eventually the hardware and algorithms will improve and meet in the middle, but I think it’s so far out, that people will have moved on
The real problem here is lack of competition. Regulators slept at the wheel and now there's 3 corporations controlling 80% of the market. So they can get away with this kind of stuff. Legislating it away is a bandaid that will fall off as soon as a different administration neglects to enforce it.
I think these types of tests should only be administered on computers
provided to the students.
Not bring your own device.

The enormously draconian spywear that is installed makes me jumpy.
Not just due to the nature of the software, but for unknown errors and
crashes happening due to some incompatibility.
There has to be a million different ways a computer could be set up,
Oh which only a small subset has been properly tested.

It also gives rich students a potential benefit, since they may have
computers with bigger screens, faster cpu, which might be advantageous.
(Of course they already have thousands of other benefits)

I think similarly specced computers provided to the students would make this fairer and more reliable.
Ask HN: Python Meta-Client for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and other LLM API-s?
I am looking for a Python library that generalizes over popular LLM API-s without sacrificing full control (need to use tools, control temp, seed, top-p etc).

Simon Willison llm seems close but seems to focus much on the CLI and not the library, also doesn't seem to give precise control for non-OpenAI models (might be wrong here).
Meredith Whittaker: anti-encryption efforts are 'parochial, magical thinking'
After years of procrastination, I've decided to dust off my little app, write documentation for it, and release the latest version, as it contains many useful improvements and features [0] that could be beneficial for many people.

Since Fedora is ostensibly the bleeding edge distro second only to the likes of Arch, it seems reasonable for the dev nudging to start(?) happen(ing?) there.
it's not free, it's profitable. see the meta layoffs and what it did for Musk and other major stockholders' wealth.

I would compare X11/Wayland situation to Python 2/3. I'm not a very advanced Pythonista, but I'm competent and use it more and more.

- 2009 - Python 3.0 came out at the very end of 2008 so let's count it as from 2009.

- 2011 (2 years later) - Six the compatibility library to ease the transition releases 1.0.0

- 2013 (4) - On Fedora's Bugzilla "Replace Python 2 with Python 3 in default installation" issue was created [1]

- 2015 (6) - Python 3.5 (introducing typing module)

- 2016 (7) - "Replace Python 2 with Python 3 in default installation" closed.

- 2017 (8) - Python 3.6 (f-strings introduction, for me privately first 2/3 difference that makes me consider Python 3).

- 2020 (11) - Last release of Python 2.7: 2.7.18. python-is-python3 package available in Ubuntu 20.04 (not default AFAIK).

- 2021 (12) - So far the last Six release (1.16.0)

In comparison with GNOME/Wayland:

- 2013 - Wayland 1.2 - wayland-server API becomes stable

- 2015 (2 years later) - Wayland introduction in GNOME with version 3.20

- 2016 (3 years after Wayland 1.2; 1 year after GNOME 3.20) - Mainlining Xwayland in xorg-server 1.16 release. Drag and drop actions are now added to the Wayland API. Fedora 22 defaults to Wayland session.

- 2024 (today - 11; 9)

For me: I will switch when Xfce will.

Edit: Added Six to the timeline per aragilar suggestion below and a bit more points.

> I use the simplest mainstream language available (Go) and very basic Python.

I'm too dumb to roll without a good first-class type checker.

> I write simple (though sometimes verbose) code that is easy to understand and maintain. I avoid deep abstractions

Insisting on writing "simple" code (insofar as I think this word is intended) is what leads to deep abstractions - E.g. shirking something "complex" like matrix multiplication and instead writing something "simple" like nested for-loops with multiplication and addition.

> always choose composition over inheritance ... I prefer flat data structures whenever possible.

Well these are at least in tension if not contradictory.

> I only use generics when absolutely necessary.

I use them whenever possible. Even ignoring code reuse and generality (the usual benefits associated) they drop the complexity by disallowing the generic code to know anything about your type. No peeking, poking or prodding of your data type or typr-specific behaviour. A promise<t> will remain a promise<t>, without the runtime deciding to flatten the promises behind your back.

Have the patents expired?
These are good news! I think this was a tough ride for the Gtk developers. Thanks!

Background:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6190

Basically gtk-hint-font-metrics=1 was needed with Gtk4 on non-HiDPI displays to get crisp text. Thanks to the change from 6190 above it is already automatically applied, when appropriate depending on which display is used. Mixed setups with multiple displays are common and Gtk4 cares about. The whole topic caused a heated issue before - because it depends on your own vision, taste and hardware.

Apple avoids trouble and work by always using HiDPI displays. Attach a MacMini to a non-HiDPI display and you could recognize that the font rendering is awkward.
Yeah... as someone in VFX who deals with plate footage from major films, in the past five years RED doesn't seem to be used that much these days: it's mostly ARRI/Sony...

I think I've even seen more footage from Panavision (which often do have RED sensors) than RED cameras...
Most likely food and exercise related. Feel like guy above you is basically alter ego me. In most cases sophisticated healthcare and medicine is more about fixing problems than staying healthy imo.

Am also ex-Amazon. Made good money there, which I am grateful for, but definitely didn't emerge healthier.
He'd already said for months previous that he knew Iraq had WMDs and were planning to supply terrorists.
RAW doesn’t denote compression, contrary to the name.

In Still cameras, it usually means pre-debayering.

On film cameras, it is a little more muddled but usually just means linear colourspace and higher bit depth.
As an English person learning German, it was quite a shock to realise that the word/word fragment „Führer“ („Geschäftsführer“) really is just a normal word with a boring meaning. Also „Reich“ („Königreich“) and „Anschluss“ („Hausanschlussraum“).

I always get a chuckle looking at my driver’s license and seeing that I’m a certified Führer in Germany.
If the names or conventions aren't familiar to you they'll sound silly. Having a look at the names of top selling cars if you're not familiar will make them look just as silly. There appears to be one named after a type of sheep, and a very popular one named after an insect.
So the answer is historical socio-economic factors generally preventing women from (1) dedicating themselves to a craft, and (2) from being recognized and remembered even when they do.
None of these seem to be truly “native” in the sense that the use the native platform’s UI widgets. Is “repackaged web” the new native?
Also these puzzles can be _really_ hard. As a French person who's lived 10+ years in English-speaking countries, I am often completely baffled. I am not sure humans would do a lot better with 0-shot.
And yet it shows, yet again, the same about companies (and management). Steve Jobs was lucky, right time, right idea, right people, massive interest in the right things in the market, right location, right hardware available, right access to market and stores, production capacity available (for reasons entirely unrelated to what Apple did) ...

Yes they worked, but they rolled a hard 6 not once, but 20 times.

In other words: what about Apple makes them able to repeat this in another market? Nothing. Not even Steve Jobs (and yes I know he's ... which is yet another reason ...)
Yes, articles is what RSS is for. Could also set up a dedicated e-mail account / filter for that I guess...
And what will 20t/s give the user as a user experience?

I don’t mean to sound combative, but my point is that the disconnect between what customers will get and what they see is very high. Will your metric meaningfully change that aspect?
Great insights! Personalization and flexibility seem key to employee retention.
Senior vice president of leadership
Management sucks period. As to why management sucks my friend offered a good insight:

Some people crave to be winners, crave to be on top, to be above others. They will raise hell and bring down the heavens on your head if they don't get what they want. They want status, they want control and they are constantly spending every waking moment of their lives on figuring out how to achieve it, and don't care about much. These people will destroy your organization if they don't get what they want.

These are a separate breed from engineers. You can look up their CVs and I guarantee even if they started out in technical roles they didn't spend more than a year there.

As for are they viable from a societal standpoint, I'm not sure. They are essential for the functioning a certain type of highly toxic organization, just like lawyers and prosecutors are essential for a functioning legal system. Office politics is a negative sum game, but not playing is worse than playing it.
Do you know anything about the mobile roles?

They're React Native but all their locations are <European country, Remote>: "France, Remote; Spain, Remote; Germany, Remote"

> No recent war has seen anywhere near the deplorable civilian:combatant death ratio that we see here.

Can you give the numbers for comparison? What are acceptable rate in your opinion?
For me, one of the benefits of FOSS is that I don't have to trust the people. I can look at the code and decide for myself.

Not looking to convince you of that or anything though... :)
The thousand year Reich quickly turned into a thousand year curse, where they can’t do or say anything without people making it all about the Nazis.
Big companies are very allergic to GPL-like copyleft licenses. You generally have to go over the entire dependency tree with a fine tooth comb and make sure that nothing is going to get you sued to released the source code (inside a big company there are processes to ensure this on an ongoing basis)
Last week a B lost me as their C because they didn't provide an e-mail address and their chat was too dumb to understand a simple question.
I had to scroll so much to reach the flip side of the coin. IMHO making a 4 hours mandatory bs meeting on monday morning is much more toxic than this.

Terminate people you disagree with and your blindspots get.. blinder? You end up being delusional, which is far from good.
The latter. There are two recent topics that ended in flagging and really low quality doscussions, no curiosity, no open mindedness and sometimes utter disregard of human rights: Caste based discrimination and the war in Gaza. The latter usually has "pro-Gaza" submissions flagged even faster than the former had for stuff critizing castes and caste based discrimination.

I am torn, in the one hand those discussions are often rightfully flagged for the coments themselves. On the other hand, this shows a general social development I don't like, especially since HN used to be, or at least is suppossed to be, a place where even hairy topics can be discussed. And I think the "tech" community at large would only benefi from multiple views on those subjects.
Right you are! Clearly we need to join forces for a root vegetable safety plan: 根安案 kon'an'an.
I did seriously consider charging back, but considering it would probably get me banned from taking further tests and a couple grad schools I was applying to wanted the scores, I didn't pursue it.

I mentioned it in a few other replies, but my intent was just to show that I didnt need to cheat. I really dont think GRE scores are worth bragging about and I wish I could go back and edit my comment seeing as it clearly didn't come across as intended.

Its a rather old joke that when political correct speech is overdiscussed, one guy will ask: "Aber Führerschein ist schon noch erlaubt, oder?" (But drivers-licence is still a legal word, right?)
Using "cuz" in the title. For shame.
Then what happens when the LLM or AI performs worse than expected? Spend more
money fine tuning?

By the time you get it all working, not only you've spend lots of your VC capital on training alone, your competitors (Google, Meta, etc) already released a more powerful model much better and quicker than you before you could your run the second training epoch.

Another example of a startup incinerating the VC pump and dump scheme for vaporware AI snake-oil.
I'm here to appreciate not sprinkling "Rust" in the title and all over the README to hype it up. Thank you!
Hey there, you can find this data in the JetBrains report here: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2023/remote-dev/

There are also other sources, and the numbers might vary, but it is quite a significant number in all reports.

Note: 'remote' does not mean 'cloud'; rather, it indicates that the development environments are not on localhost
My theory is that this is the new blog of michealochurch. It’s entertaining reading, but the underlying message of this entire blog is “everything that’s wrong is everybody else’s fault, my job sucks and this is systemic so getting a different one won’t help”. While I love the humor here, I think the conclusion is awful.

In case the author reads this: I recognize that happiness will make your writing suffer, but there are companies out there that don’t completely suck and that actively want driven competent independent thinkers to come work for them.
