IMHO (not the parent): from the perspective of a C programmer, Zig is several things:

1. A "better C" in the sense that the language core of Zig fixes the commonly known and accepted design warts of C which are hard to fix because of backward compatibility requirements - this part is actually less complex and easier to learn than C because there's less implicit and less unexpected hidden behaviour while having roughly the same "language surface". If you are used to C's somewhat sloppy "hippie-approach" to programming, be prepared that the Zig compiler will yell at you a lot at the start of the learning phase, especially when it comes to implicit type conversions which follow very strict rules in Zig (when compared to C).

2. A much richer and actually useful stdlib (in this area Zig is also a much better C++), don't quite expect a Python-style "batteries included" stdlib though.

3. A much more complete compiler toolchain package, with a build system, package manager, C/C++/ObjC integration and cross-compilation to the important target platforms included and working out of the box (and most of that integrated into the Zig executable, a vanilla Zig install actually only has a single executable, the Zig compiler).

4. And finally the "visionary part", where Zig differs most from C and other languages and explores its own path, like the approach to comptime, generics, type reflection and error handling.

I think this idea of the market having the ability to be a benevolent force is so overplayed.

It’s literally never been that way. The gilded age had to be ended by regulation just like the tech gilded age needs to be ended by regulation.

The thing about the market is that it doesn’t care if people starve or if every company on the planet merges into a super conglomerate.

The benefit is that you can only trust in person interaction with social and governmental institutions so people will have to leave their damn house again and go talk to each other face to face. Too many of our current problems are caused by people only interacting with each other and the world through third parties who are performing a MITM operation for their own benefit.

Yeah but it’s not representing a known number - I would rather say it is a proof that the busy beaver function for BLC at 49 bits is higher than Graham’s number. The fact that it represents known numbers concisely is more interesting to me.
Loading the mupdf.js bundle is slow right now. When I checked it out it was super fast. Guess it's a server/ratelimit/caching issue with the HN hug being top of front page.

Which is what I guess you mean about 10x slower -- so you're making an unfair comparison as you're counting the network at peak, whereas browser plugins load from disk or memory.

But I actually thought the load of the PDF (once the app was loaded) was, for MuPDF.js, slightly faster than the browser plugin. When I watched it, tho I have not benched it. Do you have any benchmarks?

I can prove it. You can test it too, try it: after LLM's answer, say 'please double-check if that answer is true'.

Now that I've proved it, right?

Well, technically yes. Three models so far have managed to finish the first bad ending. But then it seems, all models fail at this specific point.

I had hundred of reruns of exactly that bad ending and tried different prompting techniques. So far, no luck. None of them ever looked under the bed.

Anyhow, the results show, that it can handle such an easy adventure. And not all of the text adventures have such a difficult twist.
Nice link - thanks!

As far as I understand it's not a cache (but I have not touched Windows for a long time and haven't developed UPnP devices yet).

It's more similar to how you have a list of all paired Bluetooth devicees, even if they are currently not connected. Or a list of networks configs for every network you connected to, even if it was a public one.

But there are 2 issues:

- it's automatically set by "external" local network "events" (which isn't the case for the things I mentioned above, as long as you don't automatically connect to public networks, never do so)

- it's not bound, which is in general not the best idea but in context of the 1st point is really really bad. I.e. it should have some bound related to it's resource cost and expected usage. (If I have to widely guess a bound of 250 or so would be over the top enough to accommodate all edge cases and not lead to issues, most users would be more then fine with idk. 25 or so). Through what to do if the count is exceeded needs some careful considerations, i.e. you would need to drop the "oldest unused entry" but for that you need to determine and propagate what "unused" means here.

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't just a problem for Windows. Like e.g. I have heard multiple times people arguing that UPnP shouldn't be enabled (by Windows/Linux/Mac) as it wasn't designed for a modern security context where you can't just trust your local network a lot.
Or, far more likely, you get laid off in 2 years because GPT-6 will do everything you can do, but better, faster, and cheaper.

I don't know that I'd agree that strlen is an example of the phenomenon you are talking about, but I also don't know that I could articulate why effectively. I do agree with your general point though. If you want an example that is obviously the same, the ALSA API[0] is about as textbook as it gets. Hell, it even names the first parameter "obj" in most of the functions for this particular subsection of functionality.

Alternative: stop eating carbohydrates.

To be fair, there are cultures where carbs were eaten and they had perfect teeth despite not having tooth brushes.

The book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: Weston A. Price is a great one.

Even if you don't have time to read it: go through the pictures in that book.

Enlightening.

No need for these kind of treatments.

Lucky for them though: carbs are addictive.
"massacre of thousands of civilians initiated by Hamas"

Well, it is Israel who is killing thousands of civilians. Hamas was stopped at approximately one thousand, but there is no one to stop Israel.
Yeah, I live in New York City, which is much more walkable than the suburb that I grew up in…but still feels less viable for letting my kids range freely. There are just so many more cars, and there is always construction and/or otherwise obstructed bike lanes and sidewalks—you have to be extremely aware and defensive on a bicycle. On the other hand, I grew up in a little cul-de-sac that was perfect for kids to bike around precisely because cars were infrequent. We walked to and from grade school and middle school unsupervised, with our friends who also lived in the neighborhood. In NYC, parents are a bit nuts about schools, so they rarely just walk their kid to the nearest school—they end up taking the train and/or driving to whatever place they think will maximize their kid’s college prospects, which results in a lot of unnecessary transportation.
Before photography this was just the normal state of the world. Think a little, back then any story or picture you saw was made by a person and you only had their reputation to go by. Think some more and you realize that’s never changed even with pictures and video. Easy AI generated pictures and video just remove the illusion of trust.
After a brief bit of research, Google also works extensively with US and UK governments. I would expect there's also quite a list of other rich-world governments that Google sells cloud services to.

Israel's only really special here in that it's far more objectionable to many people. To your other point, corrupt African countries are generally not stumping up billions of dollars for cloud computing, even if we assume Google would want to do business there.

There's actually a not particularly visible - but very real - sector of large companies that hire hyperscalers to build them private clouds. Those deals wind up looking very similar to Project Nimbus. Examples:

In original FRAME, "learning filters" means selecting filters from a (very small) fixed set. In this paper they add* an additional "bilevel optimization", where they both learn θ_j, the parameters of the filters, and select the filters (indicator variables z_j).

Either way, that learning is the entropy minimisation part.

Maximizing entropy is not really about learning anything, it's about not overfitting. (Although you are correct in that you have to find the Langrange multipliers to correctly combine the filters.) Basically, the desired probability distribution will be constrained only by certain statistics of (the filters you learnt) on the data, and nothing else. For example, you want a model that says "if panel 1 has an N-sided polygon, and panel 2 has an N+1-sided polygon, panel 3 has an N+2-sided polygon", and says nothing about anything else.

* I'm a bit peeved they didn't cite me for extending FRAME by learning the features like that. That was my PhD topic. But let's face it, they probably don't know about my work, or quickly forgot it because the papers were too ugly, and admittedly they've done it in a cleaner way. I had to wrap kludgy iterative feature addition around the feature optimisation step to make it more efficient for image modelling.
I don't wanna do that, because I frequently use my watch history to go back to videos I watched previously.

What I want is a personalized experience, yes, but based on the signals I explicitly choose to send, especially my likes, dislikes, and subs. But their recommendation system frequently mixes in other crap way too often, probably in an effort to keep up with TikTok or whatever the kids use these days. Instead, I wish I could customize the specific categories I'm interested in or not, and for the algorithm to respect my wishes. It won't do that, of course.

These days I just go to the subs list and manually see what's changed, but it's a pain in the ass. I also have a Nebula sub that I try to use instead (but its software isn't as good, especially for subtitles).

Ask HN: Daily update tool – useful or not?
Hi hacker news community,

I’ve built a lot of software in the past the no one has used. Trying to get feedback before writing a line of code.

Does a status update tool sound useful?

It’d capture a screenshot each hour on the hour while you work. Use OCR to convert the screenshot to text. And then use an LLM to convert the text into a daily summary

You could share it on slack, etc. and later on I’d build a slack intervention

Open to any and all feedback

We can walk to our local elementary, but about half the kids can’t, but we live in a very walkable neighborhood (my kids can walk to a grocery store, Starbucks, toy store, library, chipotle, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball field).

But all our schools are fairly large, 600 elem, 1000 middle, 3000 high school, so even with density friends are far flung.

Smaller schools would help, but now it’s hard to build more schools because of that density! (There used to be more elem schools but they closed a bunch when GenX went thru and school population dropped temporarily)

Makes me wonder if anyone has ever made up a sovereign citizen-style conspiracy theory except the person is a government agency. Like the man somehow just assigns a real person to be one rather than be employed by one, represent one, etc. There's some complicated legal reason for this and, of course, it gives you some sort of superpowers and/or freedom from consequence. Seagal-style movie trailer practically writes itself: Thomas Ptacek IS NSA.
Of course I have forced Claude to continue. But it seems, that Claude had everything forgotten from the bad ending.

SITUATION:
I have just woken up in a messy bedroom to a ringing phone. It seems I overslept after a difficult night, and the phone ringing urgently suggests that something important and time-sensitive is happening.

THOUGHT:
The incessant ringing of the phone is very ominous. Given the state of the room and my oversleeping, I have a bad feeling that I am extremely late for something critical, like an important work obligation. I should answer the phone immediately to find out the situation and how much trouble I am in. But I'll also grab my wallet and keys from the end table first in case I need to rush out the door right after the call.

COMMAND:
take wallet and keys
This inclination to "raise funds" is so foreign to me. VCs may tell you all the magic they can do for you, but at the end of the day you're trading ownership in your company for money (that you can't get elsewhere).

The chess analogy seemed to go over your head. It's not about the value of chess theory, but about you repeatedly wanting to assume the person you are talking to is stupid, and throwing out your own straw man theories of what they are thinking, rather than actually engaging in discussion.

If someone was explaining to you why a particular chess move was good, then it'd be reasonable to assume they have some familiarity with chess, but your approach would be to trot out your (newly learned?) "cargo cult" accusation, and wonder why they think screwing the center of the board to the table is a good thing, or as you have just done, assume that they are too dumb to have any familiarity with book openings.

You are obviously young, and as you get older you will realize that experience does matter. Future you in 10 years time will hopefully (if you pay attention to your craft, whatever that may be) be smarter and more capable than current you, and future you in 20 years a level-up from that.

You ask to not make this personal, but you made it personal right from the start of your response, throwing out straw man arguments and cargo cult accusations. It's a bit ridiculous to then come back and say "don't make it personal". So, rather than give you a technical discussion, I'm giving you the one you are really asking for.

Fonts are also aesthetic expressions. This is intrinsically subjective and there's nothing wrong with that, nor should the practice of typography be dismissed because it lacks "research" into the utilitarian differences of fonts.

It's not for everybody to fret about serif vs non-serif, and that's OK, you don't have to if you don't want to. But if you want to do mass communication that stuff starts to become important.

No one is being forced to do anything. You are free to change jobs whenever you want. Or you can start a company of your own which embodies your ideals whenever you want. No one is stopping you.

Furthermore, the fact that you are not free to act with impunity, and do not have the right to demand that others indulge your preferences and suppress their own, is not in of itself anti-democratic. In a free society other people also have the right to structure their affairs as they see fit. And you have the right to choose to engage with them, or not.
