At least in the terminals I’ve used so far, holding down Ctrl causes you select the displayed form, not the verbatim form of what you’re highlighting. That is, if you’re in vim looking at a file with 10 long lines, selecting them this way will only select the portion that fits onto your screen, not the entire lines. And if your editor visually wraps them so they do fit on the screen, selecting this way will introduce unwanted line breaks, such that copying 10 lines and pasting can create 23 lines.

The iTerm2 feature being discussed means that selecting works the same way it does for graphical programs like Gedit or Pycharm or Word — if you select 10 lines you select 10 lines and your window size, font size and visual wrap setting don’t factor into it, and when you paste, you paste what you copied as it was. I would say this is the intuitive and reasonable behavior, but it’s one that is not simple to implement. A visual word wrap should be a purely visual thing and s back to back Cut and Paste should result in nothing changing.

Interesting they are opting for a spinoff rather than doing this in house. Perhaps to capitalise on the hype and attract researchers who don't want the baggage of being associated with polarising brands?
Maybe you should start implementing other PRNGs then across various package management systems and programming languages to promote your cause?

If you keep ignoring 90% of my opinion then I don't wanna discuss this with you anymore either. I never said MT is superior, it's what you implied.
If you use this, then instead of a boil-over and a mess, you get a clang and no mess at the boiling point.
Does that imply that every possible branch is optimised separately and then convoluted thereafter?

If so, does it scale for very branchy programs?

Do you have any comparisons to a Gibbs based approach for any of the use case examples?
Of course sizeof already has that capability since C has variable length arrays. They are kind of being phased out, but they are there.

You can do this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
unsigned int lens[argc];
for (int i = 0; i < argc; ++i)
lens[i] = (int) strlen(argv[i]);
printf("Computed %d lens into %zu bytes of array\n", argc, sizeof lens);
return 0;
}

Very contrived pointless example, but still.
What would be the point of equal symbols being EQ in a functional language? They are effectively EQ because it can compare by value quickly.

Also, is there anything good about cons? It seems like the most obtuse way to do a sequence unless you need something funky that you could implement yourself.

It's going to end up being another bubble, and it will eventually burst. Most people, investors included, don't really know why LLMs aren't going to be able to reason about and solve all of humanity's problems, so they go on believing it. It's just a matter of time before the money runs out, or gets shifted towards some new, shiny thing.
I made the mistake of buying chickens as livestock. I fell in love with the day-old chicks the moment we got into the car to take them home. Plan was that 1/3 would become food, 1/3 would die of disease, and the remainder would lay eggs. Unfortunately I lost my taste for chicken. We lost 1/3 due to predators, not disease, despite building a $20,000 chicken run. I was depressed for months. And I have been through some heinous shit in my long life.

They make lovely sounds and they live next to my office so working at home is delightful. They are endlessly silly. They are manipulative. They are dignified and stupid. Their plumage is a miracle of biology. They aren’t particularly friendly. I have no clue why I adore them.

It may also be related to trauma. All of those I know with earlier memories were almost always in an unsafe home environment, eg: narcisstic/abusive parents. Probably kicks your memory into high gear because suddenly it matters that you remember what to do and what not to do to avoid injury or pain.
Better PRNGs are widespread and available in literally every developer ecosystem. This isn’t the ‘90s.

If PCG isn’t available for yours, it is trivial to reimplement.

typedef struct { uint64_t state; uint64_t inc; } pcg32_random_t;

uint32_t pcg32_random_r(pcg32_random_t* rng)
{
uint64_t oldstate = rng->state;
// Advance internal state
rng->state = oldstate \* 6364136223846793005ULL + (rng->inc|1);
// Calculate output function (XSH RR), uses old state for max ILP
uint32_t xorshifted = ((oldstate >> 18u) ^ oldstate) >> 27u;
uint32_t rot = oldstate >> 59u;
return (xorshifted >> rot) | (xorshifted << ((-rot) & 31));
}

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

I was unclear. You're saying that editor content can be exported in various formats. But I'm wondering if the editor has an explicit schema that it uses to guide & restrict the editing process, so that I can have the editor generate only a customised/restricted version of HTML, or even a different markup language schema entirely (such as Docbook).

> How is this related?

That is sort of my point, if you think of a PL as a language, visual programming is not related. You are drawing a line somewhere between PL and visual programming. If you think of a PL as a specification, it is the same thing just presented differently.
The difference between cheap outsourcing by humans and LLMs is that in the former case this 50% of working code remains more or less constant, while with LLMs, I would assume, it gets exponentially lower with every iteration. I use LLMs for my daily work and personal matters a lot and I certainly admire the value they bring but the shortcomings cannot be unseen.
Not every Dependency is worth it
Sounds like you're thinking it through deeply, and that the focus is on the mechanism more than the ML. That's definitely the right place to focus, I wish you the best of luck!

As you note, the big challenges are going to be:

1. Getting people to provide enough (true) information to let your algorithm work without becoming self-referential via pebble spending feedback loops.

2. Incorporating physical image features. Realistically this is your primary source of data. Modern DNNs could do a great job of this but there is a strong chance it'll learn blue-sky-tank confounders like camera quality, framing etc. IIRC that's a big problem with trying to use ML to find good candidates on dating sites but I can't remember where I read this.

3. If it's cheaper for the alpha males to message women than most men, won't that just accelerate the problem existing sites already have? It means most women will end up with inboxes full of messages from the top few percent of men because the others can't afford to message more than one or two per day, which would just reinforce the perception that all men are pigs who aren't serious about relationships.

To be clear that wasn't the dealership fire this month in the Uk that was "possibly" started by an EV .. it was an "and also" story tacked on the end:

Last October, it was claimed that an electric or hybrid vehicle had started a huge blaze at Luton Airport’s car park, which destroyed 1,400 cars and much of the building structure.

However, an investigation later revealed that the fire was started accidentally by a diesel vehicle.

So .. we're still shy 19+ dealership fires this month started by Chinese EV's, but at least we can scratch that one from last October's monthly tally.

AFAIK in regular C a T[][][] foo would be a the same as T ** foo, so it gets implemented as a pointer to an array of pointers to arrays of pointers, each pointing to contiguous allocations of multiple Ts, each not necessarily near the other. So you need three dereferences to get to an element.

T value = foo[1][2][3]; // becomes:
foo -> (T **)
(T **) -> (T *)
(T **) (T *)
... (T *) -> (T)
(T *) (T)
... (T)
(T) <-- This one!

This allows for jagged arrays, yay! So useful.

This is in stark contrast to a Fortran-style array, which is allocated as one contiguous piece, all dimensions folded up for linear access with one dereference.
The even more worrying thing for anyone considering any solutions which do such mass surveillance, regardless of motive (like Windows Rewind). They're all one or two steps removed from massive scale access to these recordings. All of the steps have happened repeatedly in the past. The only way to be safer is not keep that data in the first place.

This has been done quite a few times before, but the resulting languages are not C.

Also saying that's "the main problem with C" seems to miss the mark. As a C programmer I wouldn't call this the crux of any particular problem. It's weird and problematic in multiple ways but surely not "the main problem".

> Metallurgical coal is used primarily because it burns hot enough to efficiently melt iron.

That’s the historical reason, but now it's used because carbon is a reducing agent that binds to oxygen, preventing it from oxidizing the iron back into iron oxide and because the coke is used as a permeable membrane to let the resulting gasses escape.

If it was just a matter of heat, there's any number of cleaner fuels steelmakers could use but they can't because the coal serves an important role in the chemistry of blast furnaces.
I had the same feeling, that’s why I posted it.

I mostly work at home, and when I'm coding, I generally have music on. I like to sing along with music, and I sit at my desk singing and coding all day long.

But I could never do this if I was reading something. It's impossible to read something and sing something else at the same time. But it's perfectly easy to do while coding.

that's what peer review is supposed to be for. the difference is that at the end of the day the code has to actually work and not just look good. papers are only reviewed to look good. to get the same scrutiny as code the reviewers would have to reproduce the findings in the paper.

Is where we are any good? I think one of the more germane issues with generative AI art is that it is distinctly not creative. It can only regurgitate variations of what it has seen.

This is both extremely powerful and limiting.

An LLM is never going to give you some of the most famous films like "Star Wars" which bounced around before 20th Century Fox finally took a chance on it because they thought Lucas had talent. Is what we want? A society that just uses machines to produce variations of the same thing that already exist all the time? It's hard enough for novel creative projects to succeed.

There are quite a few different environments for online IDEs and code editors, these days.

Not sure, could be that Elixir stuck close to Erlang's module system yeah.

But for example gleam [1] is another language on the BEAM (compiles to Erlang), that has a much nicer approach:

Not sure why you are downvoted for this. Your points have merit. I agree that stats classes can have a "cookbook" flavor and do not generally lead to a deep understanding of probability. But I would rather fix the stats classes than abandon the topic.

Does anyone really argue to replace calculus with stats? I thought the idea was to offer both and let students choose based on their interests.
I was referring to the phrase you wrote "...The consciousness is eternal..."

None of the verse you cite says that that indestructible thing is the consciousness. That's what I was referring to. For everything that has an opposite, there would be a beginning and an end: consciousness vs unconsciousness; happiness vs sadness... . Could be something else beyond consciousness?

Even if there is something eternal, then that also has an ending, because in my experience that doesn't exist now, hence it has ended. It may come back, but doesn't mean it is eternal. Something that comes and goes means that is not eternal: it is changing too.

Show HN: I'm trying to make Notion a better alternative to Zotero
I have to constantly read papers for work. So I created a Chrome extension called "Academic Notion" that can scrape the information of papers I plan to read from websites like arXiv and Google Scholar, and upload them to my Notion reading list database.

I hope one day it can make Notion a competitive alternative to Zotero and Mendeley.

However, I'm not an academic. I only need to read papers and take some notes. I don't need to write any paper. And most of the time, arXiv is enough for me. Therefore, I'm not sure what additional features I should add to the extension to make tools like Zotero unnecessary.

For those of you using Notion to manage your paper reading list, what features would you find most helpful? What research paper websites do you want the extension to support? (It currently only supports arXiv, Google Scholar and Science Direct)
They do. They want more of it so they wanna pretend the less of it failed. Swinging the the concept of 'bootlickers' around etc.
Yes, this would be similar approach how Lisp Machines, and Interlisp, came to be.
