> Would the Swift UI also work on an iPad?

Yes, but probably not for the first version.

> Do you have any comparisons with other tools (eg steam streaming, moonlight)

Steam streaming just doesn't really work on linux. Moonlight is somewhat similar in terms of direction, and has an established client base. I know of at least two projects to build servers for the Moonlight protocol[1][2].

The Moonlight protocol is a bit weird, because it's an open-source reverse engineering of a NVIDIA project, GeForce now. There are fundamental limitations to the protocol, for example that the cursor must be rendered in-stream or simulated. Using my tool, the cursor is rendered locally, and custom cursor images can actually be pushed to the client, for a seamless experience. This sounds like a minor detail but it matters a lot for subjective latency. I'm also working on employing tricks like hierarchical coding using FEC in the protocol, because I hate VBR encoding for games (it makes text blurry and breaks immersion). Those tricks aren't really possible in Moonlight.

All of the Linux solutions I know about have significantly higher latency compared to Magic Mirror, although I don't have numbers for exactly how much higher. (I have a benchmark to test the latency of my tool, but the others don't.) I'd encourage you to try them out and get a feel for the difference.

Finally, I think Magic Mirror is the easiest to install and get going on the server. It has almost zero runtime library or service dependencies (there's a pesky dynamic link against libxkbcommon which I haven't managed to remove), so you don't need to mess with pipewire or docker or anything - it's completely self-contained.

All that said, the existing tools have the advantage of a larger user and contributor base, whereas Magic Mirror is just me on a mission so far :) So they're likely to be much more stable and usable.

A problem solver to be sincere...
I say this as someone who doesn't yet use Kagi but is increasingly warming to the idea: I think normal people may pay for a search engine, one day. People used to think the bottom had irrevocably fallen out of paying for media once internet piracy became a thing. Streaming services may be in an unappealing state now, but they at least showed that people can be persuaded to pay for something if it makes access to the things they love easier. We might be years away from it, but I wouldn't say never. And $10 to find things on the internet again seems like a more persuasive offer than what people are currently paying for streaming.
Hahahahahahaha yeah that’s the problem, the employees! Why don’t they “give a shit” about their jobs that barely pay their rent and groceries and give them zero chance of ever retiring?

You seem sheltered
Thanks! That article demystified quite a bit of the magic of Makefiles for me.

However, even after 10+ years of professional dev work during which I've regularly crossed paths with Makefiles, they still scare me, and I've still never written one from scratch myself. I cling to bash scripts, which I'm also a rookie at (or, for more complex cases, I write Python scripts, which I'm much more comfortable with).

I guess one day I'll read the manual, and digest some tutorials, and actually learn make. But I've made it this far...
That's not really what I meant. It's very easy to configure which instructions or CSRs exist, and excluding custom extensions there are really only two options for behaviour, so you just have a flag `haveSomeExtension()` to enable the instructions and CSRs. The Sail model has some of these flags already.

If you write to a WARL field in a CSR the chip can use more or less any legalisation logic it wants. Configuring that is very difficult (though there is a decent attempt in riscv-config).
I think loneliness, like many of the world's solvable problems, is in fact an information problem. Solvable somehow by an information system. There are more humans now than at any time, we are more densely packed, and have more means of communication or establishing contact than ever before, with the ability to communicate over great distance without (technical or economic) difficulty or significant cost. Yet loneliness is all around us and is a plague of our times.

I'm not sure what "the answer"is, but I think those who work in and with information systems in the broadest sense, might contribute to its cure.
> No doubt the commenters will all jump in with "but waddabout this, waddabout that, so you want no homes to rent eh!?!". I don't care, my point remains -

No, your point doesn't remain if other people have valid points that refute it.

You're making a very strong statement which I imagine most economists would disagree with. Characterizing anyone who disagrees with this as "whiny" or something doesn't make it true - you just might be wrong (and probably are, IMO).

This is especially weird since you're making a strong moral claim here - it's not even "we disagree about economics here", it's "we disagree, and you're evil for thinking differently than me".
I personally found that quite boring after the first 6 seconds, but of course I don't speak for anyone other than myself so maybe I'll soon be the only person in the world who doesn't find that remotely interesting as a spectator sport?
I think it's more like, "we've been telling him not to get drunk and beat his wife. Now he's coming to our house and beating ours."

China is using TikTok to suppress free speech, so I don't see how your analogy relates here.

The most advanced math I had were the 1st and 2nd year multivariable calculus and linear algebra courses in college.

An attempt to concisely explain the issues in the Nix community
95% of the difficulty I have at $DAYJOB is nix installation and dealing with enterprise certificate/auth crud…sadly devenv doesn’t help much there.

Our pilot is quite a bit larger. Sticking to plainer flakes has made it easier for folks to self-service for now but we do intend to re-evaluate devenv.

If this is from 2015, any plans to open source?
GNU Make gives me:

- tab completion of targets
- automatic dependency execution
- automatic entry points between every task
- result caching
- parallel execution

Yes, it’s possible to do all of this by hand in shell scripts. But why would I, when Make is ubiquitous and battle-tested?
I'm not sure you understood what the paper was saying.

The LLM in the paper isn't being trained to output filler tokens until it finds an answer, it's trained to provide a better answer when it's given filler tokens. The only tokens the paper's LLM will predict are "true" and "false", the filler tokens are input-only.

And the paper doesn't find that filler tokens are "purer" than chain-of-thought: it describes them as less effective than CoT, though still a perf boost over getting the raw answer on certain types of tasks.
There isn't anywhere within driving distance of the US or Canada that you can legally dump medical waste in a sewer...
It masks the class problems of extreme wealth inequality as racial problems so that potential solutions focus on the wrong thing, and the targets are middle-class white people instead of ultra-rich people of any race.
do you have any sources/links about this? It sounds very terrifying.
> so airlines are incentivized to make the boarding annoying enough to make you pay for it.

until you "board first" with a budget airline at an airport that makes you stand just outside the gate in a common (loses queue) and un-airconditioned space until they're ready to actually board. Then paying for boarding first is an absolute privilege, especially when the riffraff can run to the plane first anyway.
I think I have stayed on target with your arguments, but I'd like to push back a little or widen the view...

Re WYSIWIG:

Rather than WYSIWIG being bad, I think the introduction of scroll bars destroyed WYSIWIG from the start. It only works on a large monitor where one page can be viewed and worked upon. In the early 1990s it was only at uni or in the workplace that this was possible. Not at home on a 12 inch monitor. It's the same reason that a web page that is larger than the screen is a health nightmare (mentally and for poor mouse wrists).

Re computing using spreadsheets:

This made computing available to people who couldn't program imperatively. It's given more power to the average power user than you can imagine. See Scott Hanselman's interview with Oz du Soleil. https://hanselminutes.com/532/data-literacy-and-the-usefulne...

Re data storage:

Without the ability to program in a declarative way (i.e. SQL) it is going to be difficult to both store and retrieve data in a provably ACID way, yet non-programmers still get it done well enough with files.

Re Smalltalk:

Without OO knowledge, this great tool will not be useful to any desktop computing power user that has not formally learnt programming.

My point is that the tools that have survived and got the job done in the
"computerised office" have not required the understanding of a complete pseudo-math model (aka programming paradigm) in order to get useful work done. People did not need to be able to compile a program without errors. They used tools that can be iteratively hacked upon, and allowed non-purist tech people to become power users in the workplace.

TL;DR

Models of software environments that do not have to be programmable have proved themselves and the people who use them capable of getting the job done. That can't be replaced by your suggested model.
The big difference is that on PC, there are ways to work around, with the browser one is usually stuck, and that is if the system isn't blacklisted to start with.
In my experience, nix-darwin and home manager are a little awkward to install together (you’ll want both) and central management is…tricky. All of these being large company problems, mind - I can’t rely on the median user googling to fix issues, they expect (reasonably) an actively supported platform.

I’ve also had issues with GUIs and Xcode as noted in other comments but I don’t mind that - those are much more of a solved problem than, say, keeping seven different JDKs around.

> People confuse cause and effect here. These places become so great because of the people that move there.

Not saying you're wrong.. but what's the proof? It's easy to think of counterexamples. Places like Malaysia that are full of immigrants and are not particularly successful. Or Japan, which is notoriously insular and successful. London has the whole industrial revolution and boom before colonialism and the wave of immigrants

One would also expect a major difference between for instance the US siphoning off the world's top talent (ex: post USSR collapse immigrants from the scientific community) and undereducated economic refugees from Central America. For instance you're not exactly seeing a flood of Latin-America-born founders in the US (not the best metric, but still)
Exactly. Such a policy doesn't do anything to curb the amount of waste. It just shifts it to poorer regions and lines Mafia pockets with money
Look, not caring for anyone is always going to be easier than caring for someone.

I think becoming a parent has helped me a lot in a million ways. You actually have a reason to advance, a reason to do stuff for others. It helps that there's just no way out. Plus I've been part of layoffs twice in about 20 years. Most things in life can and will collapse, including work, your social group at work (amongst other reasons because employers have somehow convinced employees of the "need" to keep secrets, resulting in a tension that will always be there when I work for one company and they work for another). Family doesn't collapse half as easily. The only friends I kept over 20 years I got in high school or at the latest university, and even that group is slowly bleeding dry.

For a moment I thought every hint of criticism towards Rust is suppressed or censored by the Rust zealots.
Basically in a chain of N tokens, the state of the token at layer L reflects L * N / 2 intermediary states worth of info. (In practice a lot less, since attention is a somewhat noisy channel between tokens.)
Windows is still the most popular desktop / laptop OS, and while it might come with a Chromium browser it defaults to Bing. Users who want Google search need to either change their browser settings, or install a new browser (two things this community claims that no average user would ever do on a platform where the default was Chrome and Google web search).

I know it's imperfect, I know it's getting worse, I know it's an obscenely profitable money making machine. But a lot of people seek it out because it's a functional product that (at least for me) is free and still outperforms the competition.

I don't want to like Google, but I'm not going to pretend the product sucks just because I'm unhappy with the business model and the decline in quality.
Geoengineering Now
That's a strange recommendation. I wouldn't be able to read normal sized text on a 43 inch monitor from 2 metres away (halfway across the room!). Even 1 metre would be pushing it.
That’s every solution, honestly - you’re just choosing what % of users will need help, and frankly asdf has a lot of edges. Nix’s self-contained declarative stuff is a pain to learn, certainly, when used to brew install $whatever - but it’s far easier to support.

Also it plays really nicely on macOS unless you’re trying to share nix config across macOS and Linux which…just fork and move on, it’s not worth it. :)

to which the former Prime Minister Taro Aso (1940-), in 2020, notably claimed in an election campaign speech that “No other country but this one has lasted for as long as 2,000 years with one language, one ethnic group and one dynasty”." [1]

Yeah, and so what? What was so special about this? Taro is the one trying to qualify this as something positive.

The only reason Japan even exists today is because the US let it exist. Japan was destroyed after WW2. The US rebuilt it. Now with less guidance from the US, it's destroying itself again. If racist homogeneous Japan was so great, why did it get so smashed?

I personally think the culture is still trying to get over this humiliation. I don't think they will ever get over it honestly.

Aso is such a dinosaur.

There are more Indians working in Kombinis now than ever, and that's going to only get worse. Maybe if they had a more progressive and slow moving immigration policy 20 years ago, they would've had better ways to integrate these people and protect their culture. But yeah, "who would've thought the population would go backwards, how would Aso have planned for it?" lol

I listed my old kitchen stuff on Facebook. People paid something for the microwave, an old gas hob, an extractor hood, and a few other bits.

Then most of the cabinets were taken away for free by a guy who was setting up his garage to brew beer, and some builders who were putting together a staff kitchen for a (presumably pretty penny-pinching) local business owner.
You forgot Azure DevOps, their attempt at a JIRA/project management ersatz.

There is plenty of junk, I'll grant you that. But there is also variation in study quality, which ipso facto implies that some studies might just even be good. I take what you are talking about to be the relative immaturity of social sciences.
`make` does dependency resolution. That's its original job, by the way, and calling out the dependency resolution steps to bash was the original intention.

Show HN: Online security scanner for vulns and misconfigs based on domain recon
Hi HN,

i have my first sideproject online. It's an automated security tool that checks your it infrastructure, checks CVEs, passwordleaks and misconfigurations based on your domain name.

The first scan of your domain is for free - so you can test it - if you want. All i need is the domain + email (to notify you when the scan is done). It is also possible to scan other domains if you verify them via DNS-record or with a TXT-file.

There is an example scan report: https://www.hackerattack.de/reports.html#example

There’s some really annoying edge cases I’ve found once Xcode gets involved and graphical apps are a bit hit and miss (Wireshark failed pretty completely for me a few weeks back.) I’d still call it a major improvement over the alternatives.

Yep, and "fast fashion" originally meant quickly copying catwalk trends and getting them to consumers quickly. It's now somehow morphed into meaning clothes that are quickly thrown out but without anyone actually demonstrating that is actually happening.
Yes I don't think Ssstrict is very complete. In fact while I was looking for it, I'm not sure it's been fully defined yet, beyond some postings on the tech-profiles list.
The big one is simulation of quantum systems, I don’t get how that’s not enough by itself? Classical computers will never be able to simulate quantum systems efficiently so we need quantum computers for that. In general achieving arbitrary precision control of quantum states is something that will open avenues in many areas like sensing as well, so just from that angle alone a working quantum computer would open a new branch of technological progress.

But yeah it’s not guaranteed or even likely that quantum computers will be very useful for many computer science problems, though I’m also optimistic about that given the progress made in the last 30 years. Physics / science isn’t guaranteed to be easy or progress at a steady pace.
I flew Aer Lingus recently and the flight had exactly that: 1 free item of checked luggage, pay for hand luggage (except an under-the-seat-in-front-of-you personal item).

It worked great except that the bag-check process was absolutely terrible: every passenger had to go to the desk outside security. But other airlines have solved that issue (separate check-in and self-service-tag-printing+bag-drop-only queues make a big difference).
But this can literally just be done in a simple shell script as well.
The makefile ends up just being a redundant way to run a shell script.
What about Primark?
If you read the paper again, they deal with pre-training data and fine tuning data specifically. Their test is on information being pulled out zero-shot, which would mean the steps when attention finds associations between tokens are one directional. This is just testing recall as well, as such my example is as apples to apples you can get when comparing systems with such large complexity disparities.

In-context reasoning tends to work a lot more reliably for these examples, if you put any of the test statements into it directly before asking the question, practically any llm can answer correctly. That's why very small models are still useful for RAG use cases.

Rabbit R1 Beats Humane AI Pin: Better Price, Touchscreen and Design
Better ergonomics for what? For refactoring with a zillion lifetime annotations? Annotations go viral down the stack call. That is a headache. Not useless. I know it is useful. Just a headache, a price to pay. For linked structures? For capturing an exception.

No, it is not more ergonomic. It is safer. That's it.

And some parts of that enforcement via this model is terribly unergonomic.
The price is also environmental destruction on a grand scale. All that cotton has to be grown somewhere.
