As a full-stack developer, I have participated in building applications from scratch: from creating a graphic template and implementing it in the frontend using the latest HTML and CSS technologies, embedding logic in Angular or TypeScript in general, creating a data management system with RxJS and NGRX, and finally, developing backend logic using Node or Python. Thanks to a broad range of experience, I have a better understanding of how the application should function and what prospects it holds for the future.
It seems to be mentioned at least in part:

Whereas the people buried in Pitted Ware graves on Gotland and Öland were genetically related to Mesolithic hunter-gatherers from Scandinavia, Funnel Beaker individuals descend from contemporaneous central European Middle Neolithic farmers
I agree that the iPod was adopted faster, but that definitely wasn't version 1, and the early versions were heavily mocked before they were adopted. It was too expensive, it was Mac only, it used FireWire, which was not widely available, things like that. Not the challenges that the Vision Pro (and VR) will face, but still challenges. Apple figured out how to get Windows support, then how to shrink the form factor when it made sense. I imagine they'll do that again.
No, I only see one face: winning the case no matter the means used.
Some of the type of men she was talking about seem to think so. One of them, Katie Neeves, was on BBC Radio 4 earlier ranting on about JK Rowling's tweets, insisting that the police should intervene, while also, quite bizarrely, going on a tangent to defend stealing his sister's underwear when he was a teenager.

I'm a Software Engineer with more than 10 years of experience, most of them being on the back-end side of development. Still, I will dabble in the front-end
when needed.

In the last couple of years I have worked to acquire professional experience in software architecture, microservices and CI/CD.

Now I'm looking for my first startup experience to shake things a little bit.
For C++, also check out our https://github.com/google/gemma.cpp/blob/main/gemma.cc, which has direct calls to MatVec.
I first parsed "competitive bass fishing cheaters" as cheaters who competed with each other for the best technique.

Then I realised that was silly -- they are cheating to beat everyone. A classic "garden path" sentence.

Then I realised that both interpretations are correct.

I agree. From a technical point of view formal verification would absolutely be the right direction. I haven't given up hope. A long time ago, I was flamed to death for suggesting that reproducible builds are needed, today we almost have this.

But can't you have a custom merge driver for 3 way merges too? So that when you try to merge the changes it does complain?

The advantage of building this on top of Git is fairly obvious: you get to use all the existing Git tooling, and you can use Git for other files in the repo that don't need special merge drivers.
No, I’m an MR tech.

I can do thin slices on a 3T just fine. They don’t usually help, with the standard 3mm providing plenty enough information. We do the odd scan that is 0.5mm slices.

If I show a lesion that’s <1mm, will anyone do anything about it? Watchful waiting seems likely.

The question is ‘do thinner slices improve diagnostic accuracy?’ I’m sure they do… to a point.

A monster of a machine like this will be research based and being doing dti etc at extreme resolution. Not that helpful clinically, very useful to the researchers.

Getting more people scanned is much more of a problem than getting more scanning on the same cohort.
There are plenty of >3% rewards (in limited categories) credit cards out there. Some are even paying 4% or 5% (usually with a cap, and sometimes with a yearly fee).

I can only assume that there will always be a certain fraction of users that are a net loss to the issuer, i.e. those that pay their credit card bills in full on the due date and maybe even only spend in the categories where the issuer makes a net loss per purchase.

Given that these cards and their issuers are still around, it must be working out for them on average.

We have 3 decades worth of R&D in traditional engines, it'll take a while for this to catch up in terms of tooling and optimization but when you look where the papers come from (many from Apple and Meta), you see that this is the technology destined to power the MetaVerse/Spatial Compute era both companies are pushing towards.

The ability to move content at incredibly low production costs (iphone movie) into 3d environments is going to murder a lot of R&D made in traditional methods.
what's the memory and compute requirements for this?

Why don't you just use the Pro plan? The Enterprise pricing on these things is usually for peace of mind / tossing the buck to your vendor when something goes down. It primarily buys you an SLA and better support.

I've hosted many sites on Vercel and never noticed issues or significant downtime on any of their plans, Enterprise or Pro.

It seems to me that their other plans are basically loss leaders for their Enterprise offerings, but if you're a solo dev or small biz prototyping something, there is no need to go enterprise yet.
> I wonder if the incredible use of labor in India and other countries will cause their society to bypass their own growth so that the citizens of those countries become pure consumers

Never gonna happen in India, by the sheer number of populace. You can see the thing you are talking about in some countries in Europe where a small population and a lack of heavy manufacturing drives the whole economy to the servicing sector. It's a question if you can label these countries as developing, though.

Ah yes, because server-side infrastructure is notoriously free and cheap to run, with no ongoing operational costs, and requires no employees to maintain.

Gotcha.

So taking n overlapping samples for the song, fingerprinting then vectorizing each. Then doing the same thing for the captured sample and getting nearest neighbors.

I’ve used dejavu for a personal project and it is quite fast. Is the LSH approach somehow more efficient/attractive now because we’ve made strides in vector nearest neighbors search?
"Underwhelming" is putting it mildly. The bot didn't even notice it wasn't talking to the agent yet and the "demo" ends with the user giving up and ending the conversation.

My wife and I played through It Takes Two a couple years ago, and we actually really liked it. The game is actually mandatory coop (there's no single player option), but it's low-stakes. It was fun playing through all the puzzles with her, so much so that we actually played through it again.

My friends trust that what you claim to have written came from you because they trust me. If you start spouting nonsense, I downgrade your contact information in my list and my friends get the same hint.

The open internet itself, yes, it won't survive the next few years - but then there's no stopping this. We could ban AIs in the west, which is the only place that sort of law might work, but Russia, North Korea, Iran, China - they'll still use it to mess with us.
While I understand the annoyance at a game shutting down and you can no longer play it.

I also strongly oppose this from a technical prospective. It costs money to run servers, it costs money to maintain servers.

It costs engineering effort to keep servers updated and secure.

The idea that you can't shut down your servers is just wrong.

(However an argument that a single player game does not work without being online is completely valid, but seems to not be the point of this).

So no will not be signing and if there was a government requirement to keep servers running, I guarantee you the result will be less games released. It just would not be worth the risk.

Edit: I misunderstood the point is not to keep servers running but to provide a way to run the servers ourselves. Which while my point above is about a different problem I still fundamentally disagree with that requirement.

"Your efforts are good but based on the slow release schedule it will unfortunatly be years until the community actually gets this quality of life feature."

"Patches spend years on this mailing list. 5.2.0 release was 7 years ago. There is no reason to think anything is coming soon."

"With your current rate, I very doubt to see 5.4.0 release this year. The only progress since april has been small changes to test code. You ignore the many patches bit rotting away on this mailing list. Right now you choke your repo. Why wait until 5.4.0 to change maintainer? Why delay what your repo needs?"

"Progress will not happen until there is new maintainer. XZ for C has sparse commit log too. Dennis you are better off waiting until new maintainer happens or fork yourself. Submitting patches here has no purpose these days. The current maintainer lost interest or doesn't care to maintain anymore. It is sad to see for a repo like this."

"Is there any progress on this? Jia I see you have recent commits. Why can't you commit this yourself?"

"Over 1 month and no closer to being merged. Not a suprise."

> There is no technological reason this is the case

Of course there is. Many modern multiplayer games are unfeasible without dedicated servers, and many games are multiplayer by default as a design and production choice. Making a game that is designed for multiplayer first and foremost also able to run on a player's computer is not always a trivial task.

I was a lead at an open-world game that was supposed to run without dedicated servers on players PCs, and it was a very FUN task to actually get it there. Changing it to run on dedicated servers from the very beginning would save a LOT of production costs and time, I honestly wish this was the case.

As an update, I'll just copy my other comment from elsewhere in this thread:

OK, here are 6 different git repositories that our different systems were built with, without custom scripts and setup that our devops team have built over 8 years of operation. And it also requires an Oracle license to run. Good luck figuring it all out!

P.S.: We forgot a couple of third-party libraries in there, so we'll be hit by a bunch of lawsuits because our private licenses for these libraries absolutely did not cover open-sourcing them for the whole world.

'Internal memos of the upper class': Gary Younge says journalism is out of touch
I'm genuinely curious how this YC is funded?

This is targeting developers who are already using tried and tested solutions for this kind of problems, which are all open sourced or, if not, well established.

There are dozens of choices for auth, component libraries and any other lego piece you need. And it is very easy to piece them together and have full control.

I would almost never trade small perceived gain in speed of pushing first version of some internal tool, for much much lower flexibility, cost and lockin over life of the project.

Don't paying players somehow offset that? If not, it would be nice to see by how much.
Without going into the motivations for building a startup and doing Y Combinator, I do agree with many of your points.

People can use Unity to build games and non-games. I personally don't think it fits a lot of different use-cases or application models and that it tends to be most successful in specific gaming verticals, but if it works well for you, by all means use it!

I'm strategically betting both on the lines between what is viewed as a game and not blurring, as well as developers needing a friendlier, more flexible way of building this kind of interactive content. I'm by no means under the illusion that strategic mistakes won't be made, or that this won't be a 10-year+ journey - realistically many (most?) successful companies have a very nonlinear path, including Unity themselves.
Hypothesis: Repeating the task description increases quality of ChatGPT output
There has been some experiments showing that ChatGPT performs better if given some incentives like tips or threats, etc.

Also it's known that the chat GPT performs constant amount of computation per token.

I wanted to test a hypothesis that adding any number of tokens after the initial task description increases quality of the output.

The experiment consists of relatively simple coding tasks and we will compare two prompts:

Please help me X.

and

I will provide an identical task description 10 times:
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.
Please help me X.

I have decided to run 3 experiments and not cherry-pick the results.
Experiments:

1) create an SVG element of a 5 edged star item
2) write a function to check if a number is prime in python.
3) write a function that given chess position in FEN notation as an argument returns which side has material advantage in python.

On the task 2) both prompts returned exactly the same correct answer.

Results for 1)

Results for 3)
https://i.gyazo.com/824da8be1febc7158a10cd3a79127c8f.png

For the task 1) clearly and for the task 2) arguably the results are in line with hypothesis that simply increasing prompt length leads to better results.

Does anyone have similar experiences / can check that with other short coding prompts?
So why do they do it and not let the game run on the user devices locally?

Oh, might it be the difference between a one time purchase and a regular monthly fee?

That being said, I just purchase games I can run without internet, if they are singleplayer.
There are lots of belt driven industrial robots. They have a different set of trade-offs and challenges.

Hey!
I love Nix, and I've been using it as my daily driver for more than 1 year.
There is a lot of people putting a lot of energy on documenting and explaining, but the current recommendation is _suffer_.

For Docker, you could start here in this HN thread [1], for NixOS and flakes there is a video series and git [2] I used at the begining which I liked.

I wanted something a bit more 'complete', so if you will you can read through my nix repo [3].

I have built Portry and Go applications (that I'll push to nixpkgs at some point) and GCP images for VMs, so if you need a reference for that just ask :)

This article suggests, in the year 2000, that replacement migration might be a way to combat low fertility rate in the west.

I don't think you can encourage low fertility rate. I don't think we did in the west.

I also know there's nowhere to get our replacement from once the whole world is educated. Technological accelerationism might save us, or it might doom us.

It's all rather exciting, isn't it?
If Apple has a press release stating they're reserving multiple years worth of capacity at a certain fab, but before releasing the statement, buys stock in that same company in anticipation of the stock price going up (presumably from the fab's near-guaranteed earnings and Apple's reputation)...that's legal on Apple's part?
My reading of the request is to allow the players to host and run their own servers, as was done in times of yore.

So in that case, there would be no ongoing cost to the publishers.

Exactly.

The threat actor had signed and uploaded the compromised source tarball to GitHub as a release artifact.
They then applied for an NMU (non-maintainer upload) with Debian, which got accepted, and that's how the tarball ended up on Debian's infrastructure.
They're advocating for publishers to patch the game to let players run homebrew servers after the official servers shut down.

Or, in the case of single-player games that phone-home, to just disable the phone-home part.

You can set it up in a few hours, but it's a pain to maintain. Every preview deployment, every DNS change, every logging interface, every serverless tie-in, every CDN and caching setup and invalidation... those are all wastes of time if you just want to get a website up and running. Or for $20/mo they can handle it all with much better reliability. It's a hard value to beat.

If you're big enough to need the Enterprise plan, sure, you could build your own, but apparently enough of their customers don't want to.

FWIW, because of Vercel, I would personally never launch another website on a lower level cloud host (like EC2/S3) again. It's just not worth the time and setup. The higher level of abstraction that Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, etc provide is very nice for DX and time savings.
Well, of course it is. The information density is less in AI writing, and as more AI writers are trained on more AI writing, will approach random entropy. This is merely thermodynamics at work. /s
