I think people often forget the behavior of instruction following is still based on SFT training data. This is exactly "adherence to training patterns". Prompt engineering is not elixir, it's just a way to utilize the patterns seen in training data.
Brigham City is not really that rural (more suburban), and it's maybe 0.05% of all suburban / rural areas in the US. Not really evidence that "rural areas get it first and best." Most truly rural areas have absolutely awful internet options, or none at all save for Starlink or satellite.

Hi,

Not a super creative or rocket science app like other people post here at HN.

Just a basic app to help make the Internet a better or safer place by letting people be aware of various scams happening across the Internet.

Very basic app! Love would be appreciated.

Thanks

LLGo = Go and C and Python
LLGo is a Go compiler based on LLVM in order to better integrate Go with the C ecosystem including Python.

Now you can import a Python library in LLGo. For example:

package main

import (
"github.com/goplus/llgo/c"
"github.com/goplus/llgo/py"
"github.com/goplus/llgo/py/math"
)

func main() {
x := math.Sqrt(py.Float(2))
c.Printf(c.Str("sqrt(2) = %f\n"), x.Float64())
}

Here, We call py.Float(2) to create a Python number 2, and pass it to Python’s math.sqrt to get x. Then use x.Float64() to convert x to Go's float64 type, and print the value through C printf.

Let's look at a slightly more complex example. For example, we use numpy to calculate:

package main

import (
"github.com/goplus/llgo/c"
"github.com/goplus/llgo/py"
"github.com/goplus/llgo/py/numpy"
)

func main() {
a := py.List(
py.List(1.0, 2.0, 3.0),
py.List(4.0, 5.0, 6.0),
py.List(7.0, 8.0, 9.0),
)
b := py.List(
py.List(9.0, 8.0, 7.0),
py.List(6.0, 5.0, 4.0),
py.List(3.0, 2.0, 1.0),
)
x := numpy.Add(a, b)
c.Printf(c.Str("a+b = %s\n"), x.Str().CStr())
}

Here we define two 3x3 matrices a and b, add them to get x, and then print the result.
I once remember sitting in a Physics class, they shared with Chemistry and as we're sitting there one of the chemistry teachers started clearing up - not sure what happened exactly but all of a sudden there's a bang, red smoke and everyone starts coughing - we had to evacuate the entire section.

Turns out the teacher had poured some bromine down a sink, along with something it reacted with.

> We desperately need more competition. It’s the only thing that actually lowers prices.

Unless it's a deep pocketed behemoth coming and stomping out local competition because they can afford to lose money on price dumping.

Though I agree with the general idea of the competition.
To add to other comments, a positive thing with Latin and Greek jargon is that it's not intentionally obtuse, but a combination of stem words aiming to make up literal terms. Anesthesia for example means literally "not feeling". If there wasn't an influence of the classics to the natural sciences it could be notfeeling or notfeel in English.

I'd recommend starting at a company of 30-50. It's large enough so some processes are already there, yet small enough that your actions have impact, and you have influence on the processes. Software companies at this size have a pressure to grow, so you'll be there when processes are defined. There are specialists for some things you don't need to care about, but you meet them, and can talk to them about their roles and learn about them as well.

Or “boilerplate generators”, I’m working on a laravel project and I think 90% of the code written so far is either generated or copy-pasted (from other files, from the css framework examples, from the docs). The trick is to know what to generate, what to copy, and keep it minimal. And that’s done by pretty much reading the entire docs and some of the framework’s code to understand how the pieces fit together. And what you need to replace/add on top to get your application.

I’m not tethering myself to a distant datacenter just to be able to write some code.
Good points mostly.

Why did you say number of lines appeared to be part of their concern?

The MIT license requires attribution. You meant MIT-0 maybe?

The old requirements relied on people being honest also.
This is good to hear! Nubank has also argued that in their extensive use of Datomic, this kind of issue doesn't really show up. They suggest custom transaction functions are infrequently written, not often composed, and don't usually perform the kind of precondition validation that would lead to this sort of mistake.
Yeah I get that it's frustrating. But it is open source, and there isn't anything stopping you or anyone else from making contributions that bring the language to more places. Sure, various aspects of the project could be improved but that doesn't mean it is "half assed".

I agree the title is misleading, but in both directions. The 40% number is just for Marcellus shale gas wells - that is, basically shale from primarily a single state (Pennsylvania).

Also, I would think that the fact that it just comes from shale gas well wastewater means it would be more commercially viable to actually extract.
Reports put the size around that of a golf ball with some upwards of a baseball. Those larger ones definitely have the energy to wreck anything but the most resilient glass.

A similar event happened in Nebraska last year (I think). They got the plant back up and running in roughly six months, which is quite the feat given the amount of labor disposing and installing new panels involves.

Then again, six months is a very long time for a plant to be producing no power at all. Keeping these plants spread out will increase the odds of outages but will be necessary for them to become critical infrastructure.

Some Airport security doors work like this.

At an old job, I was on a project at an international airport and was given one of those cards to get you through all the doors. Bypass security, get down to poke the planes, etc. Slide the card and key in a code to get through.

They gave us two codes: one to open the door, and another that opened the door and set off the silent alarm.

> Two decades later and the coalition just announced that 18 different ISPs now compete for Utah resident attention over a network that now covers 21 different Utah cities. In many instances, ISPs on the network are offering symmetrical (uncapped) gigabit fiber for as little as $45 a month (plus $30 network connection fee, so $75). Some ISPs are even offering symmetrical 10 Gbps fiber for around $150 a month:

Congratulations, you've invented European style internet access with prices that almost match, super proud of you Utah.

Personally our local fibre network was built as a joint venture between 8 or 9 companies who then openly compete to run the service to customers so its mostly down to customer service and perks.

A 1gb symmetrical unlimited connection (sold as 900mb due to some legal shenanigans) is about $38 with a 250mb package unlimited going for $24
If accurate enough it seems like eye tracking could be useful beyond accessibility to eg control iPads without dragging one’s greasy fingers all over the screen. iPad already supports pointers.
Sure it means something, it’s pretty low on the PR talk scale even. Let’s see:

> We believe deeply in

"We", in this case, refers to Apple and as a company can’t believe in anything, it specifically refers to their employees.

> the transformative power of innovation

A new feature will bring forth change

> to enrich lives

In order to make someone’s life better.

So far so good, at least no synergies being leveraged for 10x buzzword transformation. Let’s see if it passes the test:
There’s a bunch of new accessibility features, that certainly fits the bill for innovation.
As anecdata, at least one of these will drastically change how I interact with my devices, so there’s the transformative power.
I will be able to use these new accessibility features to improve both the way I work and how I privately use technology, so one could argue my life is being positively enriched by this transformative power brought about by innovation.
Do they "believe deeply" in this? That is only for Tim Cook and his employees to know, but they’re one of the few companies pushing advances in accessibility past the finish line, so they might!

That is actually a plausible outcome, if humans willingly submit to AI.
Obviously feeding more data won't do anything besides increase the knowledge available.

I'm not a psychologist but my wife is. My understanding is that terms like trauma have a technical meaning in these fields which doesn't always match exactly how it is used in everyday language. For a medical doctor anything that leads to a bruise would be a trauma. For a psychologist it could be anything that negatively affects your mental state.

I'm not in the US and my impression is that PC culture there is getting ridiculous and any "micro-agression" might be seen as trauma etc which I don't agree with either. However that doesn't invalidate vernacular use by professionals.
Beside earnings, I'd be thinking about other things when working somewhere:

- the culture of the place and the vibe

- how boring / interesting is the work

- would I be able to work on things / with technologies that interests me

- would I be able to level up in that company

- would I be able to learn new things or I will stagnate

- how a position at company X will impact my future employment

- would it allow me to build useful connection

And probably there's much more but I don't remember now.

> Prompt engineering is not elixir

I’m not talking about prompt engineering when I talk about per request tuning of how closely it follows established patterns, I’m talking about inference parameters (temperature, top_p, top_k, are common for most models and ways of calling them, some others may be available, too.)
Apparently organic chemists speak a different kind of English.
Maybe it's a spiky 9.7w. :-/
This is also good to hear! I'm not sure whether I'd call it a "footgun" per se--that's really an empirical question about how Datomic's users understand its model. I can say that as someone with some database experience and a few weeks of reading the Datomic docs, this issue actually "broke" several of the tests I wrote for Datomic. It was especially tricky because the transactions mostly worked as expected, but would occasionally "lose updates" or cause updates intended for one entity to wind up assigned to another.

Things looked fine in my manual testing, but when I ran the full test suite Elle kept catching what looked like serious Serializability violations. Took me quite a while to figure out I was holding the database wrong!
There is a subscription too
With all such optimizations, isn't llama too slow to be run on a CPU with a reasonable amount of parameters?
So my point is that it's not cheapening but rather semantic drift akin to how compile and run in tech also mean something different from everyday English usage.

I've built analytics products, and the good thing about dashboards is that there's budget for them. People like eye-candy, and are willing to pay for it. I like how you picked Postgres as your initial database, because I think it's still the #1 databases for analyics (even though it's OLTP) that no one talks about.

The three products where I think you may want to write short comparison pages are:

- Rill
- Preset
- Metabase

And I'd take a hard look at ClickHouse as your next database. They're missing a dashboard partner. And I think they're users are much more engineering-centric and therefore a good fit for you than the analytics crowd around Snowflake.

> HF has actually been used right out of the cylinder for a long time in Merrifield peptide synthesizers. It's the traditional way to cleave the peptide off the resin at the final step, so there are actually a lot of people who've used the stuff. But it's in a dedicated apparatus that is (that had better be) well sealed, and people treat it with due respect. At a former employer of mine, there was an accident with one of these machines right before I joined the company. The shout "HF LEAK!" went out into the halls, and I'm told that the whole area set a never-to-be-equaled evacuation record.

In traditional databases, only the database engine has a scalable view of the data - that’s why you send SQL to it and stream back the response data set. With Datomic, the peer has the same level of read access as the transactor; it’s like the database comes to you.

In this read and update scenario, the peer will, at its leisure, read existing data and put together update data; some careful use of compare and set, or a custom transaction function, can ensure that the database has not changed between read and writes in such a way that the update is improper, when that is even a possibility - a rarity.

At scale, you want to minimize the amount of work the transactor must perform, since it so aggressively single threaded. Off loading work to the peer is amazingly effective.
What about bringing peace?
As I understand it, the fiber would be capable of much higher bandwidth in the future, it's the devices at the end that are the bottleneck. They'll be able to keep upgrading for a long time without replacing the fiber that was laid down.

That looks like a trivial optimizaiton / transformation. I am still quite puzzled how much work has gone into compilers, static code analysis, guided compilation (naturally comes w/ JITs, too). Yet, database optimizers of pretty much any database look rudimentary and unreliable. Sometimes I think they got stuck in the '90s and that's it.
We should start calling all "normal" people as "non-murderers" since they don't murder people. Obviously since we have the word murderer, there needs to be a word for other section too. Isn't it. Calling them "normal", I guess is too much to absorb by fragile made-up trans egos.
See, this is why we can't have real conversations about this problem, because most people don't even understand what they are saying and just spout off dogma.

1. Just because you haven't "encountered a single environment" doesn't mean you haven't been in one or that you'd even know what to look for to know if you were in one where it would be a net win.

2. "If you're working in distributed systems," you likely have very fat, fast, and reliable pipes between your services. Nagle's algorithm is probably a Bad Thing[tm] in those situations. If you have a lot of Wi-Fi interference or dropped packets, Nagle's algorithm can be the difference between 50bps and 1mbps (assuming your application isn't filling packets), except that Delayed Acks prevents you from realizing all that.

There's no "one size fits all" solution, but you have control over Nagle's algorithm, you do not have control over Delayed Acks.
