Is it just me or does it seem like modules are a good idea which is totally dead on arrival? It's been four years, and we've had a whole new edition of c++ standard in the meantime, and Clang and GCC still don't have full support for modules.

Gaudi 3 released this year is better than H100 released two years ago.
Nvidia's Blackwell processors released this year will smoke Gaudi 3 as expected.

Intel is behind 2 years. But unlike Nvidia, they are fab company and competing with TSMC in 2-3 years from now if everything goes as planned.

I wrote my own build system to use C++20 modules before CMake even had support for them, and while I have probably had net benefit from using them, I can’t recommend them for anyone in their own projects at this point.

The feature has so many irregularities that could only come out of a standards process, there are too many compiler bugs (just try using header units), the different implementations are too fragmented (I’m only using clang, which makes this easier on me), and there is a lack of things like module maps that would dramatically improve usability.

I've been using Go as my primary language for the last seven years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.

In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.

I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242/

There's been less than 150 miles of Mars roamed by mostly small rovers that often could barely do more than take pictures and do some basic soil chemical analysis. Do you expect to see obvious dinosaur remains with an RC car with a small shovel driving around in Kansas for 100 miles, especially if you don't even know what a dino even looks like?
Yes, please may I have some more of the unmitigated freedom to pay a ballooning portion of household income toward a depreciating asset; the absolute pleasure of having to buy government-mandated insurance; the utter relief of participating in one of the most dangerous daily activities; the free choice of being able to salt the earth with CO2 emissions and tire particulate matter; and who can forget the ~socialized~ capitalist federal- and state-built roadways that cities are going bankrupt trying to keep up with funding.
I've actually had another quick look and I now have a vague idea of the outline. It's an attempted proof by contradiction, where a solution to FLT is applied to the binomial theorem and some arguments about integrality are made to form a contradiction.

My issue at the moment is with a line at the bottom of p.4, which effectively says that if k^n = xy for integers k, n, x, y, then k must be a multiple of y. Unless I'm missing something this is clearly false, for example 2^4 = 4 x 4.

Found a bug: On the "Fitness Level" step, if you click the "info" icon, and then close it by pressing escape, you end up moving /backwards/ in the process (back to the "Fitness Goal" step).

The same thing also can happen if you double-click the "info" icon on the "Fitness Level" step, or if you close the popup (via mouse) and then click any of the buttons.

I read a book on NNs by Robert Hecht Nielsen in 1989, during the NN hype of the time (I believe it was the 2nd hype cycle, the first beginning with Rosenblatt’s original hardware perceptron and dying with Minsky and Pappert’s “Perceptrons” manuscript a decade or two earlier).

Everything described was laughably basic by modern standards, but the motivation given in that book was the Kolmogorov representation theorem: a modest 3 layer networks with the right activation function can represent any continuous m-to-n function.

Most research back then focused on 3 layer networks, possibly for that reason. Sigmoid activation was king, and vanishing gradients the main issue. It took 2 decades until AlexNet brought NN research back from the AI winter of the 1990’s

Interesting idea. Apparently road damage goes up with the 4th power of the weight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law)

Really trucks are probably not paying their fair share in that regard.

I wonder how it would be implemented in practice given how variable vehicle weights are depending on how they are being used. Weigh stations like they use for trucks?

It might also be a solution for gas taxes being insufficient to maintain roads as vehicles transition to electric. And in concert with the much higher weight of electric vehicles due to batteries still sucking at power density (maybe it would increase interest in things like aluminium-air)
https://www.steelconstruction.info/Fire_damage_assessment_of...

"Strength loss for steel is generally accepted to begin at about 300°C and increases rapidly after 400°C. By 550°C steel retains approximately 60% of its room temperature yield strength, and 45% of its stiffness. At high temperatures, steel is also subjected to significant thermal elongation, which may lead to adverse impacts, especially if it is restrained."

At 800 C ("dull cherry red"), the yield strength is down ~90%: https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/9/99/Steel_strengt...

This is talking about short term properties of steel, which would be important in building fires, but creep also increases with temperature.
I like it already!

I would love to be able to set how much time I have available for workouts too though. Like, if I want a whole body workout but only have 10 minutes, I know I'm going to get less done, but maybe fewer reps/higher weight.

IMO the author of this article is right about what he is saying.
And I am glad I am not the only one who sees the increased inefficiency of software and thus computers.
Different times have different fashions and programming is also very influenced by fashion. But it seems like Free Pascal survived and Lazarus and fpc seem like a sane alternative, worth taking a look at.
It's Turing complete.. and my apple II library had all sorts of crazy apps written in basic. I remember taking them apart when I was like 10.. and being like who has the time to write all these lines! Which.. I still think is crazy considering no IDE and how you would just input them line by line... leaving space between lines just in case you needed to put a new line in later.
At some point the logits at a branching point in the response need to correspond to the respective probabilities of the requested output classes so that they can be appropriately sampled and strongly condition the remainder of the response. My instinct says this cannot be accomplished irrespective of temperature, but I could be persuaded. with math.
I did not say they're destroying the chargers. You are nevertheless underselling the potential implications IMO. These chargers are finicky. People's primary complaint with Electrify America is how hit or miss they are in actually working. People have the same complaint about Tesla, but to a lesser degree. That combined with Tesla's wider presence have made people correctly laud the quality of the market. Expansion aside, these chargers will need to be maintained, and sacking the entire division doesn't leave me hopeful they will be.

Moreover, EVs are going to just keep growing in number. Every brand now has a pretty solid EV for sale. Keeping the same number of chargers isn't helping anyone.

It's their right, but my main point is that this just further convinces me Tesla isn't serious about keeping up with EVs. Pumping money into a useless truck, chasing a dozen other fanciful projects, abandoning their world class charger network. The future is -- every other manufacturer -- it would seem.

Show HN: MikeDoc – Neat docstring format for building API references
Hi HN ! I'm Alex, a tech enthusiast. I am excited to show you MikeDoc (https://github.com/pyrustic/mikedoc), a docstring [1] format for building API references [2]. This project is a major iteration of an internal tool that helped me generate API references for my projects as Markdown files that can be browsed offline or online.

To generate such Markdown files, the tool iterates through the modules of a given Python codebase and parses the docstrings. The MikeDoc format is designed so that a typical docstring looks neat, is easy to parse, and uses Markdown syntax. I found it natural to divide the docstring into sections with headers surrounded by square brackets [3]. Depending on the section type, the content is either prose or hyphenated key-value pairs with an optional introductory paragraph.

Here is an example of a Python function with its MikeDoc docstring:

def sum(a, b):
"""
This function returns the sum of two integers.

[param]
- a: Left-hand integer operand.
- b: Right-hand integer operand.

[return]
Sum of `a` and `b`.

[except]
- OverflowError: Exception raised if either `a` or `b` is too big.
- IntegerError: Exception raised if either `a` or `b` isn't an integer.
"""
...

Although MikeDoc offers to generate an API reference programmatically, it also has a minimalist command line interface that offers to do the same thing but without friction thanks to the `init` and `build` commands. The `init` command generates a config file that does not need to be modified in most cases, and the `build` command generates the API reference based on the contents of the config file.

Here is the content of the `mikedoc.dict` config file [4] of the MikeDoc project itself:

# project name
project_name = 'MikeDoc'

# project's website or README
project_url = '/README.md'

# package directory (relative path)
pkg_dir = 'mikedoc'

# API directory (relative path)
api_dir = 'docs/api'

As a neat docstring format, MikeDoc can extend existing documentation generators such as Sphinx and can be used with any programming language that supports concepts such as function parameters, return value, and exceptions.

As a standalone tool, MikeDoc would fit well into any Python project whose API reference needs to be embedded in the root directory and browsable offline and online without config changes.

MikeDoc's Python package is available on PyPI and you can already explore its own API reference on GitHub [5].

Let me know what you think of this project.

My canton in Switzerland uses this formula:

tax = k * P*0.9 / m*0.05

P: power in kW

m: weight in kg

k: currently 7.125

Minimizing tax means a small engine and a heavy car. (Though the tax difference between 1000 kg and 3000 kg is only 6%.) They also don't do subsidies for EVs, with the rationale that EVs affect road maintenance as much as other cars. Given that, the formula is backwards in terms of weight.

The problem I have with that is that you need to know which log file to look into when an obscure error shows up. If you already know it, you can solve an issue easily, but if you don't, and the error doesn't tell you the details or where to find them, you'll find yourself banging your head against the wall for days.

Instead of the (fairly useless) "Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation", the error could have said "More information can be found in X:\...\setupact.log" which would have been more useful to a person technical enough to read it, and equally useless for the few non-technical users who will ever encounter this error.

This applies to many errors that just tell you what failed with generic steps that might help instead of actual useful information.

I also agree with you on that many things were not invented or appeared during those early time, and C (or Common Lisp) was common choices than say Ruby or Python.

Other posts answered, but only if you already know the answer. The rovers we've used on Mars have done an extremely superficial job of scouring the planet. The most recent rover Perseverance has, to my knowledge, the most capable drill with a max depth of 2.4 inches. [1] And the drill is used extremely sparingly because it tends to break quickly, as it did on Curiosity. And of course it can only drill, not excavate/cleave. The first humans on Mars will likely provide more information in a week than decades of probes and rovers have.

> 48% do not know that merge/rebase conflicts have swapped order of local/incoming changes

I'm well aware about the differing meaning of HEAD in merge and rebase, and if I had to think about it, would probably realize that it makes sense to always display HEAD first. And that as a consequence, the order would be swapped.

But I would definitely have answered "no" to the question as written.
