Exactly. And the USSR built more tanks than all the other allies combined, while under bombardment.
But the "negative learning" was exactly because they abandoned the standardized approach.

"Conversely, the gradual erosion of EDF’s determination to
standardize (caving in to proposals of numerous design changes
in the wake of the ‘‘frenchifying’’ of the Westinghouse de-
sign—the P’4 reactor series—and above all to the new N4 reactor
design pushed by the CEA), as well as the abrupt slowdown of the
expansion program after 1981, paved the way towards a gradual
demise of the French success model, as borne out in lengthened
construction times and ever higher cost escalation towards the
end of the program (cf. Section 4 below)."

Digging into Bluesky DMs
Welp, here I go again, off to watch random episodes of The Show. I miss those times.
The experience of WW2 left a deep psychological scar in Soviet, and later Russian statesmen, in that the lesson they took away from it was "We need to be surrounded by buffer and satellite states, so that in a war, they will bleed, instead of us." It's why they had absolutely zero patience for Georgia and Ukraine turning West-wards.

The scar it left on the population at large was "They attacked us, and we suffered a lot, but then we really showed them."
I'm generally a fan of taking advantage of the filesystem, especially when your application is just... storing and viewing files. It irrationally upsets me when an application grafts its own "Library" on top of my perfectly working filesystem, requiring me to import my files into an artificial thing that is just like a filesystem.

On the other hand, extended attributes and other filesystem-specific features could be problematic if you want to share files with other operating systems. If I copy a file to a FAT32 formatted SDCard, I need to worry about what might not copy over.
If you click on "Get to Know the Daylight Computer" section it has some videos.
That study makes sense given that it's about virtual keyboards, and most users expect keyboards to be act on press (since physical keyboards are). The issue, for me, is that he's extrapolating from that study that all (or nearly all) systems should be act on press, which doesn't actually follow.

You'd need a study showing that subverting user expectations (act on release) by switching to act on press reduces error rates (or at least doesn't increase them). Take a web browser and make every click (even those intended to be a click and drag, like to a bookmark folder) act on press. See how much more often (or not) users use the back button for browser history, for instance.
I think your reading is fair considering what I actually wrote!

It's just not quite what I had in mind. But what I wrote is still quite scrappy; that line is missing at least an "in general" to broaden that point out beyond iTerm 2 specifically. I need to slow down a bit more.

I don't really agree with you on the LLM side of the equation, and I am bothered by the idea that this is where we're all headed. But where I think this integration is not ridiculous is in doing this at the GUI level.

There is an argument for saying "why isn't this a utility at the remote (shell) end", but of course from the perspective of OpenAI API calls being added to everything and calling out from the command line, that would be worse, because you'd be installing it everywhere.

So if it belongs anywhere (colour me wholly unconvinced) it definitely belongs somewhere within the terminal client itself.

But as I say, I don't use iTerm 2. I did take this opportunity to look at what iTerm 2 offers, out of fairness to the author, and it is obviously an impressive bit of work. Maybe when I find a need for Python scripting like that I'll come back to it.
Undo should be standard for act on press and act on release flows.
> Lisp syntax doesn't just feature lists, Lisp syntax is those lists (Lisp = LISt Processing)

Lisp syntax is on top of lists. Lisp has as basic forms functions, built-in operators and macros. Each new macro implements syntax.

> On the flip side of this, how one is meant to distribute finished Lisp programs is very unclear to me.

In SBCL you would compile all the code to machine code. A program is then a single file with the Lisp runtime (providing threads, memory, garbage collection, OS, ...) and a snapshot of the Lisp heap (all the Lisp objects in memory), which is called a Lisp image. That's an executable. If you start the executable, it starts the Lisp runtime, restores the heap from the file and then hands over control to a defined entry point in the heap.

ECL (another Common Lisp implementation), compiles all CL code to C and then uses a C compiler to create loadable compiled C code. The runtime then loads the compiled code on startup.

LispWorks does something similar like SBCL, but LispWorks can remove unneeded functionality from the heap plus can optimize the needed space. Thus the applications can be more static and also can be smaller. Imagine one would write a, say, CAD application in LispWorks. It could start into a GUI application and the user may never see any Lisp REPL. But a REPL could be a tool for the user, where she/he can script the CAD system.
I think Vikram Seth’s head just exploded like in Scanners.
And even still, the USSR produced more tanks than all the other allies combined (many of those in Ukraine).

This issue had nothing to do with iCloud.
I would sign up for a mailing list for when this is available, I will probably actually buy one if it's android with root.
No, people are saying, don't use the feature if you're not interested. It isn't hard. Don't input an API key. Don't do multiple clicks to show the "Codecierge" toolbox. Don't type in a question for the AI. In future versions, don't install the optional AI plugin. And crucially, don't act the way people did in this saga and be civil. Follow any of that, and you're fine.

People aren't demanding you anything. You are.
There is nothing new. Why people upvoted this article?
I had thought that phone manufacturers were coming around to the concept of repairability, so this is bad news. I've had a few Samsung phones and never had any problems. My S22 Ultra is over 3 years old now and still an excellent performer. I thought I'll have to change the battery this year - but after checking the instructions I changed my mind, crazy complicated.
There is a novel written with that premise as the background! I can share the title with you, if you'd like - that particular premise is a very small part of the novel.
Ordered. Can you recommend a stand that has worked well? Love the vision.

Yes with "similar" I did not mean that they were part of one entity.

I was just thinking about them being large and strongly present in many different business sectors.

So a conglomerate I guess. Thanks
As much as I would also like to drop double clicks and long presses and only use fast and discoverable interactions I think that ship has sailed...

A less militant solution might be highlight-on-press. We can at least ensure the UI is as visibly responsive as possible even if actions need to wait for gestures to complete.
Your numbers are wildly off and not just from ignoring inflation when using poorly sourced numbers from 2012. Quick, how much did they spend on fuel over that timeframe? Well according to that estimate it was 0, so it’s hardly including the operating costs.

To give some perspective: “In March 2023 France's Parliament formally approved the government's nuclear investment plan – by 402 votes in favor and 130 against – which considers the €52 billion construction of six new EPR-2 PWRs at three sites.” That’s not operations that’s just for construction of 6 reactors when they have 56 in operation and that’s interest free unlike US reactor where interest is included with construction costs. One year later that’s already been increased to 67.4 billion euros: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/french-utility-edf-l....

France operated as a pay as you go system so they didn’t set money aside for the full cost of decommissioning their reactors etc. Last I checked there was some talk in 2017 of them setting aside 27 billion based on some ridiculously optimistic estimates but mostly the plan is just foist the costs onto future taxpayers.
At the moment we only support the major hyperscalers since they're the most common ejection destinations, but we're considering adding more options. No concrete plans for this at the moment though
Your prices are impressive for low volume.

I hope things go well for you. These are the kinds of devices I want to become mainstream.
Very interested to see this. I have a Supernote which has passed the basic gadget test: I still use it regularly after the initial few weeks. But it's true that it is limited to (a) taking notes in meetings and (b) reading and annotating PDFs. I wonder what more I would do with a truly fast screen.
would appreciate the help!
I bought a Motorola G73 5G a few months ago, paid $160 for the 256GB variant including 25% VAT.

Compared to my primary phone, Samsung S21, it's a ridiculous amount of phone for the money.

But I find the default Google apps to be quite limited compared to Samsungs offerings. Google's calculator app has no unit conversion and a very bare-bones "scientific" mode. Google's file app has no way to search for files containing special characters, while Samsung's can do that just fine by using \ to escape the character.

I don't have a SIM in the Motorola as I just use it around the house, other is "work phone", so haven't tested the phone and messaging parts yet, but I recall Samsung were better there too several years ago when my SO had a Sony or something phone.

But yeah, seriously considering getting something else next time around.
Speaking based on a part of south India, almost ever medium to large size house had a solar panel in the 90s. They were however horrible and could barely power a few lights so fell out of favor and never used. I think if we had current 250W panels up, people there would think differently about them.

So it's okay to commit fradulous acts if "you have something to show for it"?

Even if Altman was a good person, they are the face of a company that is doing some very suspicious actions. Actions that got the company cooked in litigation. So those consequences will assossiate with that face, consequences for not following robots.txt, for trying to ask forgiveness over permission against other large companies, and now this whole kerfuffle.
In one of the pictures on the site was it sitting on a dock with a keyboard. I use obsidian and would use this as an obsidian typewriter. If I order is it just the tablet itself or more? I presume it runs Linux so any keyboard that would work in that environment would work with the device? Even better if I can ssh into it.

Edit: I see elsewhere in this thread that it’s android. If I can adb shell into it and push my own custom launcher to it, I’ll buy one today :)
Ik. OP asked if it's "similar" to LG and I explained why - because it's a Chaebol like LG, Lotte, CJ (used to be part of Samsung), Hyundai, etc.

Similar =/= Same
>story where a woman, lost in the wilderness, noticed a raven crying near her and spotted a mountain lion creeping up on her. She gave the raven credit for warning her and saving her life. But Heinrich points out that ravens have a demonstrated history of leading predators to prey.

That's a hilarious (and scary) story. I made the same cognitive mistake when reading, i.e. assumed that either raven was helping her, or was crying for unrelated reason (because I suspected a twist). It completely didn't occur to me that the animals could have cooperated among themselves.
Is that a bad thing? I don't make a lot of arithmetic errors in M-x calc or whatever.
I was initially interested in defer in C (I am co-author of some earlier proposal), but after actually studying its impact on code example I was entirely unimpressed about the actual improvement compared to goto style cleanup. A lot of people seem to like it though, and JeanHeyd's version seems quite good, but I personally not terribly convinced about this feature anymore.
So, they're asking skilled engineers to do work for them for free, and just email it in?

Why didn't every other company think of this?

So I've created ~300k ec2 instances with SadServers and my experience was that starting an ec2 VM from stopped took ~30 seconds and creating one from AMI took ~50 seconds.

Recently I decided to actually look at boot times since I store in the db when the servers are requested and when they become ready and it turns out for me it's really bi-modal; some take about 15-20s and many take about 80s, see graph https://x.com/sadservers_com/status/1782081065672118367

Pretty baffled by this (same region, same pretty much everything), any idea why?. Definitively going to try this trick in the article.
Modeling Human Communication to Build Context-Awareness into LLM Caching
One of the most fun parts of working with LLMs is finding solutions to technical problems in the ways people have solved the same problems in interpersonal communication.

Semantic caching reduces LLM costs and latency, but simple vector similarity search doesn't work well for conversational AI. To make semantic caching effective for context-dependent we’ve modeled features of human communication into our cache.

Have human communcation features helped you solve any LLM application problems? Share them in the comments!
Ask HN: Programming library that allows you to call libraries from any language?
I saw in a comment thread here a few weeks ago a library that allows you to call library functions from any programming language from any other programming language. I believe it was using WASM or some other kind of translation framework. I want to play around with it and see if it is practical. I believe the name of the software began with "d". Does anyone know it?
Was that a requirement in the contract? Mine says just need to produce a certain number of planes. There's nothing in there that says the plane must be able to fly. If that's what you wanted, you should have stipulated that during negotiations. Remember, you picked fast and cheap.

Find the problem in the aggregate.

If we have these powerful motors working less, then the inefficiencies of the entire life cycle will reveal themselves.

Perhaps there is a specific section of vehicle infrastructure near you that requires more turnovers to navigate.

I feel alone on HN for not caring about repairability at all on phones. I use a phone for ~3 years and replace it. I'd rather have a phone that's slimmer and smaller, than repairable or user-servicable.
I got paywalled but as a layperson I'd define actual counting as e.g. croaking the same number of times as how many treats are in front of you.

So I'd want to see 3 treats -> 3 croaks, not square -> 3 croaks and circle -> 4 croaks, to remove the quotes.

At the same time, teaching an animal to repeat a behavior an exact number of times is actually very tricky. For example, a dog will likely over-eagerly repeat the action until rewarded.
Your question is answered in the case I linked. But no, that level of parallel was not enough in the Sinatra vs. Goodyear case.

I'm skeptical about a lot of the research that purports to be studying "ultra-processed foods" because as far as I can tell, nobody can actually give a coherent definition of "ultra-processed", and I think that should probably be something that you need to do before you start to study ultra-processed foods to make sure that any effect that is observed is actually a result of the food being "ultra-processed".

How's the battery usage? You mentioned that it's not bistable and doesn't retain an image on power-off; does that mean the display requires non-trivial power even while displaying a static image? One of the big selling points of my reMarkable 2 is the incredible battery life.

Any plans for color? I know it'd be a sacrifice of brightness. I'm still interested despite the limitations.

Another part of the reason why invading Ukraine was dumb, Russia forgot what Ukraine was capable of. Attributing all of its success to itself but discounting its partners.
You’re right that a random person’s voice is not IP, but SJ is not a random person. She’s much more like Mr. Waits or Ms. Milder than you or I.

I don’t believe the burden would be to prove that the voice actor was impersonating, but that she was misappropriating. Walking down the street sounding like Bette Midler isn’t a problem but covering her song with an approximation of her voice is.

You are dead right that the order of operations recently uncovered precludes misappropriation. But it’s an interesting situation otherwise, hypothetically, to wonder if using SJ’s voice to “cover” her performance as the AI in the movie would be misappropriation.

Addressing the "unkindness" but not the point is also boring.

ETA thus far you have only responded to my comment to point out its "unkindness" but have not responded to the other two comments with the same points being made, which I find indicative of a desire to tone police over a desire to evaluate Altman's trustworthiness rationally by considering this most recent incident of duplicitous behavior in the context of all his past incidents of duplicitous behavior. (Like the one you yourself mentioned and proceeded to justify, so maybe you're not the most unbiased or trustworthy person to be moralizing here, actually.)
Indeed. Academic ethics are more theoretical then practical.
It is quantized, but not necessarily to a power of two. RAM and flash sizes of 3x2^n are common even in contemporary microcontrollers, and it’s clearly possible to use fewer R chips then your bus decoder supports in the less integrated computers of yore.

And once you have a project with a fixed amount of ROM, either because the hardware is at a point in its life cycle where you can’t change it, or it’s third-party hardware and you have to use what you get, or because you’re already at your BoM budget, then your software will behave like an ideal gas - it will expand to fill the available ROM. This happens because until you run out of ROM, you will write your software in whatever way is easiest to get your job done. But then once you run out of ROM, you will go back and look for something that you can make smaller. Then you can add a few more features or whatever, until you run out of space again. This process will repeat until you’re done, but your ROM will always be nearly full.

Then again, it's an order of magnitude difference on the cost to (various locations) in space between SpaceX and Boeing or Lockheed Martin (RIP Atlas V).

Lockheed does a bunch of satellites for NASA, among other things, and Boeing has that whole airplane thing, among other things, so we can't compare them on that basis alone, but SpaceX is of the meme stock era, so traditional valuations methods are out the window anyway (Tesla, NVDA, etc).
You are not likely to have 17.03800786369594 crashes if your Tesla is driven on autopilot for 130 miles.

The M suffix on 7.63 indicates million.

130 miles / 7630000 = 0.000017038 expected accidents while driving on Autopilot to your Mum's. You would have to make 58692.334781078 such trips before an expected accident. Suppose each trip takes 3 hours. That is 20.100114651 years of continuous driving. Probably you would not have an expected accident visiting your mum even if driving that trip was your sole activity.
