> I guess you were talking about `functools.partial`, which is basically the same as currying and also only works on the last arguments

I was talking about `functools.partial` yes, but it can work on any arguments in order, using keyword arguments.

e.g.

def copy(source, dest):
.....

copy_to_temp = partial(copy, dest="/tmp/")
copy_from_temp = partial(copy, source="/tmp/")
Butter? Oh, no no no. I'm definitely a fan of just Vegemite, spread thick, and toast. Adding butter is just diluting the pure goodness of the product, adulteration it with a moderating flavour and texture if you will.

Also, Vegemite and avocado is a great pair. As is Vegemite and a hard chrap cheese like tasty cheese.
Seems like a great way to get new brain surgeons, too!
OK, good to hear. Couldn't find anything clear about it when web searching and looking at documentation.
1 out of every million... Yeah, that sounds about right to me as an actual lower bound.
Sure, nothing is true, everything is permitted.
afaik its one city from one brand doing it primarily for taxis (high use vehicles) and not the entirety of China doing this.

And it's not the first time its been done either.

The title of the article is a bit misleading.
I find it hard to believe that you couldn’t retrofit Signal into an email app. Encrypted comms is quite good at sitting on unencrypted untrusted channels and signal is already asynchronous.

The challenge is that there’s no money to be made so you’d need a non profit like Signal to do it to disrupt that industry.
Apparently this is coming from Russia. Good luck enforcing that trademark.
Nice! I'm pretty interested in GPGPU applications and MI300A, but I'm also just glad for more competition. Love that you hit up the LocalLLaMa sub.

Do you know if anyone's tested CuPy stuff on MI300X?
A country that is incredibly rich in historical significance (both good and bad), cultural traditions, art (historical and modern), regional variety and nature. Cities are walkable, public transport is mostly decent (it's perfectly fine to live without a car if you're in the city), crime is low, poverty is low, the economy has been tanking a bit recently, but has traditionally been doing well.

In terms of mentality, Bavarians are very different from Rhinelanders who are very different from East Germans. Berlin is a bubble in and of itself and can't really be compared to the rest. In general, Germans tend to take comfort in clear rules and structure, and are used to a certain kind of cutting through bullshit, both of which may be a good or a bad thing. I'll also add that, to my knowledge, no other country has reflected its own role in history as deeply and critically as Germany has, which to me comes as a bonus even when there is a tendency to overcorrect.

Food is IMHO not great (except Käsespatzle), but beer is some of the best in the world.
We give full bare metal access. If you just want one GPU, we give you a VM with PCIe pass through. If you take a whole box, we can give BMC and can give you access to the PDU itself, to hard reboot things remotely. It is as if you own the whole machine yourself.
It’s the same people that get allocated tasks generated in those processes. They even get shifted between departments.

It does not really help to have separate queues if those are served by the same worker.
Ask HN: When will AI just be a free feature in most apps?
I kind of see the value in AI integrations. But I don't necessarily see the value in paying $10 a month to use it with Notion, Miro etc. when the core product is free.

When can we expect AI to just be free? Will AI ever become free, in the same sense that email is free?
I find myself quite productive in situations where my body wants to do something- eat, drink, sleep, etc and I’m putting it off until i finish some key thing.

Some impending implicit deadline…

If you imagine balls of different sizes but with the same mass on cellophane, and look at the shape of cellophane, then you'll see that smaller balls will make cellophane more pointed. If instead of a ball you take a point mass, then the depression will converge into a sharp point. Light can climb out from some depressions but there is a limit on a steepness it can overcome.

This analogy probably is not very good for this kind of things, but it shows the idea.
While android base is open source(and I appreciate google for that), no major phone vendor uses exclusively open source components. They always adds own proprietary apps and services also most of the time google's. IMO no better than an iphone.
Anyone aware of a similar feature for foobar2000? I have an extensive library mostly tagged from Discogs, including release IDs. In theory, this should be sufficient to cluster music by genres, pull similar releases from Discogs "similar" feature and correlate data from https://everynoise.com. Obviously, in case of album mixed genres things will mix up, but I'm not sure there's a model that can correlate existing tracks with a genres/styles latent space which you can query for a playlist.
I must have misunderstood your "Stack growth is just something you don't have to worry about for almost all scenarios you're likely to encounter.".

It's fairly intuitive to walk a mesh recursively by following adjacent edges and you have to keep track of where you've been which means storing a lot of data somewhere. Maybe there are better algorithms but sometimes you just reach for what's most obvious. I suppose there are many analogous applications of traversing a graph structure.
Heh, a combination of the post going viral, me using the free tier on Vercel, and some sub-optimal images I have used, caused me to use up all the free bandwidth. Vercel reached out though and promptly unlocked the web, which is very cool of them.

Guess it’s now time for me to learn my lesson and optimize the images
The Kafka API and S3 API have each become the de facto standard in the stream processing and object storage domains, respectively. Compared to other Kafka solutions, AutoMQ has embraced them more effectively. I believe AutoMQ has a long way to go.
Yes, through the state option (xdotool calls it windowstate). I was confused when implementing it, because there appear to be three different fields: maximized_horz, maximized_vert, and fullscreen. If you want total fullscreen (covers taskbar and other stuff), use the last one. If you want the window maximized, use both of the maximized ones.

Come to think of it, I should put in better documentation for the state option, as well as a general maximize alias.
Yes, I also strongly believe that the agency to one’s own life belongs to the most fundamental human rights and absolutely necessary for the human dignity. Why the law, i.e. the conventions or views of other people, should decide what I may or may not do with my own body/life is absolutely beyond me.

Yes, the law may forbid other people to actively assist such endeavors because of the serious possibility of abusing. But, ending one’s own life could be a liberation in same cases. Forcing someone to endure ceaseless, utter pain and hopelessness is tantamount torturing and abusing, and in my view is absolutely horrific and despicable in every way.

Human dignity is inviolable. This includes ending one’s own life with dignity.
for dongleserver ProMAX® it looks like you now have another problem. Where to get a server room and wired connection to your laptop.

Why don't they just say MIPS-ish
I was surprised they didn't discuss why there were 48 prime candidates co-prime to 2, 3, 5, 7 below 210; and 8 co-prime to 2, 3, 5 below 30; and 480 below 2310. I've been calling it the larial for years, but it's the primorial minus 1 at each step, i.e. (2-1)×(3-1)×(5-1)×(7-1) = 48. Or the fact that there will always be 1 number coprime to n (and lower primes) that is non-coprime to n+1 in the first n columns for every row on the table, which is where the Larial comes from.

I discovered this stuff independently nearly a decade ago and didn't share because it didn't seem novel to anyone I discussed it with. And I have dated Google drive documents and Gmail emails to prove it. But I suspect it isn't worth proving.

This math does make pretty music though: https://on.soundcloud.com/juyxv
IIRC Macs disks had different density for different sectors. The sectors on the outside had more data than sectors on the inside. I'm surprised a PC disk drive can read those, I'd have expected that to be impossible. I certainly have never heard of anyone doing that while PCs and Macs with floppy disks were around.

EDIT: ok. it seems like this specific device is flexible enough. cool.
Funny. As I started reading your comment, I reacted with a big "wow, Facebook would actually offer that option?"

Then I reached your "but it doesn't work".

Happy everything became normal again :)
If there are plants (there is a patent and a paper describing this in some algae, IDK if it has been replicated or not...) that have preferences (kinetic isotope effect!) for one isotope of uranium over the other you could technically have a uranium enrichment plant made from uranium enrichment...plants.
We haven't spec'd to buy A's quite yet as you're actually the first person I've heard even suggest them. If you're truly interested, hit me up personally.

By default, we are putting dual 9754's in the chassis, along with 3TB ram and 155TB nvme. A pretty beefy box. However, if you want to work with us, we can customize this to whatever customers need.

Effectively, we are the capex/opex for something that requires a lot of upfront funding and want to work with businesses that would rather focus on the software side of things.
Why are you assuming there was a substantial accretion disk?
Be interesting to see how well they do.

Most of the Kafka deployments I've seen in recent years have been using cloud versions e.g. AWS Managed Kafka.

So it's great that you save money on compute but it does mean you are now operating it yourself which then costs money.
Also have a look at drawbridge which even supports live loading Amiga disks in an emulator. https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/
Good point. I'll make a note to add some documentation to that effect. I didn't think of it originally because I didn't expect this much interest in my project.
In Malaysian Chinese restaurants a common dish is "Marmite chicken" which I imagine uses the same principle.

We also dip buttered toast into softboil eggs with soya sauce and pepper so make of that what you will lol
You can make an email-like app out of Signal but nobody would call that email since it won't work with the thing everyone else calls email. You can't just add Signal to actual email and get something with the security and privacy properties of Signal, though.
The way I understood it is that for each token, the attention mechanism itself consumes a fixed amount of processor time.

The innovation here is to prioritize tokens so that some tokens have more or less processor time.
Apologies. I would like to delete the comments, but unable to.
> Some circuits require apparatus which are unsuitable for putting inside blocks, for example, a crystal earpiece. These have wires which terminate in flat metal contacts, and they are connected to the circuit by sliding the contacts between the metal strips of two neighbouring blocks.

Surely, it is not impossible to produce a block that houses a 1/8" jack???
I love the idea of a man with a giant beard, who ran through back pain on medication because he didn’t want to be a “mincing weasel”, whose nickname sounds like an East end gangster, and whose end of race party was headlined by a punk rock band from Tunbridge Wells chose a strawberry daiquiri — what, in the 90s*, we would call a pink girl drink — as his finishing treat. Fantastic.

Agreed. The audiobook version read by Simon Prebble is also excellent.
But isn't that the whole point of UX engineering? Liked songs is also "just a playlist" but by adding a unique icon for it now you can add it with one tap, filter artists that you like the most, and when you go to an artist's page it can show all the songs by that artist that you've liked.
Where's FOSS for books? Outside CC docs I don't see it around. Time needed for a large software project is easily more than a novel.

Instead authors typically sell through copyright maximalist proprietary publishers who take their cut keeping the author dream of riches alive.

Yes the AI companies are philistine barbarians at the gate. But in comparison to FOSS where people strive tp empower others, aren't authors greedy and naive expecting exveptionalism?

Ask HN: 18 y/o YC founder post-startup – what now?
Earlier this year I left my startup and now have a major gap I don't know how to fill. I've seen many posts on this topic before, but they're all from ~30 year olds in a vastly different place to me (money, connections, degrees).

Some context:
- I dropped out when I was 15 to spend more time working (at the time consulting for F500s, later climbed to a senior-level job in advertising) and soon after found myself building companies. The first one didn't quite work out, but by 16 I had a good amount of experience in marketing and cofounded an ad agency with a friend (also 16y/o) that we grew to relative success (~500k rev.)
- We got into YC, learned VCs don't invest in agencies, pivoted and raised 1.5m from VCs including Paul Graham. Several months in the pivot hadn't landed with users so we gradually whittled down our multicontinental team of 25 (managed by two 16 year olds lol) as we searched for a new idea.
- Parallel to this a 3rd company/side hobby (a luxury brand) became extremely profitable, but I mothballed it to stay committed to the startup.
- We worked on a new idea all through 2023 with 2 remaining employees, but by late December we were starting to realise the economics would never work.
- By then I was so burnt out from the failures and 3 years of literally nothing except work, sleep, work, sleep that I eventually left in the aim of going to college, but couldn't get a school transcript in time for the 2024 cycle.

All the overachiever business stuff I did between 15-18 (much of it cut out for brevity) put me so far from the beaten path that I'm unsure what exactly I'm supposed to do in the ~1.5 years until the next college cycle. I cut everything in life from hobbies to friends to work relentlessly (14-16 hours a day) and I now have some kind of stockholm syndrome for obsessively working on complex and stressful problems. This has made it pretty hard (if not impossible) to enjoy doing "normal person things" like going on holiday or picking up hobbies, which has been the average advice I've gotten so far. (The hobbies that do interest me satisfy the blend of complexity and stress but require a lot of money (that I don't have) to get into -- Skydiving, biking, helicopter flying, mountaineering)

Several people have also suggested getting a job, but I'm in a weird position of having a lot of experience (across several industries/roles) and having no specialized experience (at an employable level) in one specific thing. Most people in this position would probably work somewhere in operations or bizdev, but again, I'm young, and I highly doubt anyone would hire an 18y/o over an MBA into a role like that, even if the 18y/o is much more experienced.

So, HN. What do I do now? -- And if I work somewhere, where?
If you need to ask you aren't ready for something like this.

That said, it's basically Kafka with the topic-partition persistence swapped out. So the libraries etc are just the standard Kafka libraries because the frontend listener is unmodified.

I have lots of questions about how important latency is since you may be replacing many minutes or hours of a person’s time with undoubtedly a quicker response by any measure. This seems like a knee jerk reaction assuming latency is as important as it’s been with advertising.

I’m not convinced latency matters as much as groqs material tries to claim it does.
> Extremely unreliable and inflexible.

I can see from the Wikipedia photos that the metal contacts are not of great quality, tarnished and all.

If you polished the contacts (e.g. with Brasso) and the coated with a thin layer of grease (dielectric grease, vaseline, ...) it would probably quite a bit more reliable.
Everything written in this article is true, but there are as usual more nuances to all of these. One of the primary reasons for me to go with a GmbH (and a holding) was the expectation of excess profits that I'd want to reinvest instead of drawing a salary. The other neat aspect of stacking a holding company on top of the operating company is that capital gains are not taxed in the event of a sale. That goes for investing into ETFs for example, but more importantly if the holding company ever sells the operating company then that sale is tax-free for the holding company. The ultimate owner is then able to pay out the proceeds and only be taxed using his personal capital gains tax rate (25%-ish).

> Custom state-of-the-art silicon is ridiculously expensive.

Think about the amount of money being dumped into "AI" at this point. If you've got the technology and people to make stuff faster/better/cheaper, finding investors to dump money into your chip making business is probably not as hard as it was 2 years ago.

Groq is making this change for other reasons than the expense of tapping out chips.
I'd rather be crippled in a car wreck than succumb to telemetry! The companies running the telemetry can pay my disability in their taxes.
The 200-in-one thing I had with coil spring contacts was also pretty unreliable for complex circuits.
Very carefully.

It's in fact one of the biggest issues with AmigaOS that made it incredibly hard to add proper MMU support. The OS is heavily message-passing based, and it's not at all always clear "from the outside" who the owner of a given structure passed via a message port (which is little more than a linked list) is, and so the OS doesn't even know which task (process/thread - the distinction was pretty meaningless due to the lack of memory protection) owns a given piece of memory.

Later versions added some (optional) resource tracking to make it easier to ensure resources are freed, but if an application crashed or was buggy you'd frequently leak memory, and eventually have to reboot. It was not great, but usually less awful than it sounds with sufficiently defensive strategies.

[I have at various points when e.g. doing some work on AROS way back, argued that it is is quite likely possible to largely untangle this; partially because for a lot of cases, the ownership changes are clear and rules that fit actual uses can be determined; partially because the set of extant AmigaOS apps is small enough you could "just" add some new calls that does ownership tracking, declare the old ones legacy, and map ownership changes for the rest one by one and either patch them, or, say, add a data file for the OS to use to apply heuristics; had the remaining userbase been larger maybe it'd have been worth it]
Yeah, when reading VM I thought too much about virtual memory. But IBM famously never used the term memory, but called it storage. So VM probably only referred to Virtual Machine. So their first virtual machines including all during 360 era, probably still showed physical adresses, even if more than one virtual machine could using the same addresses exist. None of them had page tables, they all had the same addresses. First MVS (multiple virtual storages) changed that.
It's a bit unfortunate IMO because Kafka while perfectly adequate for streaming often winds up with someone wanting to use it like a work queue which predictably ends horribly.

Ideally something like Pulsars API (which more resembles something like GCP Pub/Sub) would be the de facto as it is capable of handling both cases seamlessly.

There was Kafka-on-Pulsar until recently until the developers essentially made it non-OSS which is pretty unfortunate for Pulsar adoption which is already low.
Your instinct is spot on.

I made 76k at the defense contractor.

I made 255k this year (6 years later).
artist fixes rib story = a how-to guide (expressed in the reciprocal "how-did" form) discussing the narrator's passage through a niche and mildly exotic experience. It answers a question the reader never asked, but potentially might have.

whereas artist recounting his struggles = a series of open-ended "why-did" vignettes with none offering escape from a cycle of precarity, except for the obvious solution to discontinue throwing oneself on the sword of Art. a solution which is intentionally and elaborately avoided by a narrator who does not supply a relatable (never mind satisfying) motivation or justification. I may be giving him too much credit, but there's a decent chance the vague sense of being stifled by this brief immersion in a world fundamentally unsuited to your own nature is an intended effect.
Just wanted to say that I like how you see things.

Most people here would not download third party libraries without a thorough audit, even if the application purpose is essentially frivolous. I would not buy anything from a company with this kind of criminal record without a full due diligence of what they selling, including conflicts of interests of the FDA reviewers involved.

Financial products sold by the banks must be treated that way too.
that is great. please hit me up privately, i'd love to chat with you about it.
Well, there's also the fact that the MC68000 in the original Mac didn't have an MMU, and it was difficult to add an external MMU to a 68000 system [1]. You could use an MMU sanely starting with the MC68010, and it wasn't until I think the MC68030 that the CPU came with an integrated MMU.

[1] Because exceptions on the 68000 didn't save enough information to restart the faulting instruction. You could get around this, but it involved using two 68000s as insane hack ...
