Fun fact about Hanafuda - you can still buy Hanafuda cards from a specific Japanese manufacturer who has been printing them for over 100 years and the more fun part is that that manufacturer is Nintendo! They still print traditional decks along with ones using newer IP like Mario and Kirby themes.

I own one of the original style decks and it's beautiful. Koi-Koi, played with a Hanafuda deck, is a great poker-style game that makes you feel very smart for knowing how to play even though the rules are pretty simple.

If you end up wanting to use the version of SCIP compiled to WASM, I have it pre-compiled in the repo here: https://github.com/jstrieb/poker-chipper/tree/fab41bbe8821d0...

To interact with WASM SCIP, I use the CLI with an Emscripten virtual filesystem (as opposed to the C API/FFI): https://github.com/jstrieb/poker-chipper/blob/fab41bbe8821d0...

If you want to compile it yourself, the code and compiler flags I used to do that are documented in a Dockerfile in the repo: https://github.com/jstrieb/poker-chipper/blob/fab41bbe8821d0...

This is sensible, but I don't fully understand why there is such pressure to support inherently ambiguous infix operations. I get that 1 + 2 * 3 might be marginally nicer to type out but 1 + (2 * 3) is completely unambiguous no matter what language I'm using. This, for me, improves readability, especially because I don't have to guess what the intention was if I'm ever confused by the result. Also, it's one thing in a math or science paper where the reader can correct the result if there is an ambiguity, but if a compiler handles ambiguity wrong, that can throw the entire program off quite significantly.

The ratio of time spent on precedence parsing in compilers to utility feels very low to me. That being said, I do appreciate the satisfaction of being able to implement it declaratively as the author does here.

While I understand your point of view, and even share it from time to time, if art were limited to those works that were easily accessible, the world would be much poorer for it.

Think of how different the world would be if all Beethoven composed were Für Elise-type pieces, and he never composed anything as complex--and inaccessible--as his Grosse Fuge.

oral traditions can provide a historical perspective. For example, the Vedas in India preserve pretty well the state of the texts as they were around 500BCE. We know this from linguistic evidence.
The comment you're replying to mounted the Docker daemon as a local socket, accessible only on the machine. (It exposes an HTTP server still.)

The Great AI Silence: What's Next for LLMs?

For loud movements above a certain size, this certainly rings true for me. Obviously there are a lot of people out there who truly believe in actual free speech - I’m one of them … but there’s some kind of fine line. It still feels a bit like harassment when groups on campuses (often not anyone with any affiliation to the school, bussed in by special interest money) are deliberately “getting in my face” as I walk between classes. I don’t mind them being there, but feels like they should have to stay 2 feet off the walkways and not go right up to people. I feel the same way about restaurant barkers/criers in the French Quarter though.

When I say “bussed in by special interest money” I’m not calling out “George Soros” or anything. And its not like 100 people or anything - just 1-5. I’ve seen it done across the entire political spectrum - PragerU, Anti-zionist groups, churches, nation of islam, DNC, etc. I spend time sympathetically talking with a lot of the groups and learn they’re often poor individuals who have a lot of time and moneyed groups take advantage of their time and convince them to heckle for their cause, and set up drivers / ride shares across the metro area to get random people to the campus.

For me its the aggression and attempts to incite angry responses which I find debatable: whether incendiary behavior should be considered “legal free speech”. Its often not just “speech” but body positioning and direct targeted aggressive engagement of individual passersby which feels calculated to make people feel aggressed while maintaining some degree of plausible deniability.

It sounds like they are using/implementing something similar to SQL Server Always Encrypted[0]. This basically works by encrypting specific fields using a certificate that needs to be supplied by the connecting SQL client (application). Obvious limitations is that you can't use the fields for sorting in queries (ORDER BY), and depending if deterministic encryption is not enabled, you can't use it in filters (WHERE) either. Same applies for any T-SQL logic on the data fields - because the encrypted blob is opaque to SQL Server - it is decrypted client-side. There is no workaround, except for pulling the data locally and sorting client-side.

> At FAANG scale this couldn't be further from the truth.

Here's the problem with this blend of specious reasoning. Even without questioning your claims, your example is based on a scenario consisting of a niche of niches whose relevance is limited to rare corner cases which have virtually no expression on the real world.

It's like trying to extrapolate optimization details from Formula 1 as something relevant for the design of a Volkswagen hatchback.

I mean, I worked at a FAANG on flagship services that virtually the whole world used, and I can tell you as a matter of fact that the vast majority of real-world FAANG services do not qualify as your hypothetical FAANG scale.

That's where you're basing your anecdotal example.

For what it's worth the claim is "2x the national average in interest", the national average in interest is incredibly low as many people have their money in checking/savings accounts at large banks with near 0% interest rates. It's very possible to give people twice the national average and still make money on the spread between that and the ~5.5% short term treasury yield.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs claims their rate is "8x the national average" at 4.40% and I'm sure they're making money just fine too.

Yeah, I was gonna add that FreeCAD probably has the best chance of becoming that sort of programming environment, and they've actually added a lot of great new features in the last year or so, including a reasonable solution to the topological naming problem [1]. Still a little clunky and has quite a few UI oddities, but overall it is taking shape a lot better than I ever expected. Really looking forward to their 1.0 release this year.

But, as mentioned, I only see it as a developer. My end product with k8s resembles something that's closer to my development tools than what I'd have maintaining a series of servers and using other tools to deploy apps onto.

Have you ever worked as a front-line support agent? I'm guessing not. I have many years ago, and for an ISP too. If I bought an Amazon share back then for every time a customer called support because they were "hacked", I'd not be posting here during a boring meeting because I'd own my own private island.

The two best conversations I can recall were when we changed a customer's email address about a half dozen times over a year because "hackers were getting in and sending them emails" (internal customer note: stop signing up for porn sites), and a customer's computer could barely browse the web because they were running about 5 software firewalls because they were "under surveillance by the NSA" (internal customer note: schizophrenia).

The expected value of processing requests like this any way other than patting the reporter on their head and assuring them the company will research it, then sending them along their way with a new device while chucking the old one in the "reflash" pile isn't just zero, it's sharply negative.

The author's mistake was not posting somewhere like NANOG or Full-Disclosure with a detailed write-up. The right circles would've seen it, the detailed write-up would've revealed that the author wasn't an idiot or paranoid, and the popped device might've been researched.

Well yes, I certainly agree that one can enjoy a considerably higher QoL (in certain aspects at least) while spending the same amount of money in a reasonable stable country yet economically underdeveloped country.

> I don’t care whether you call it the “opposite of progress” or “less optimized” or whatever

I just assumed the discussion was about technological progress. OTH I do think that considerably lower costs enable encourage risk taking, certain types of experimentation and other riskier ventures that would be much harder to fund/justify in countries with considerably higher labour costs (and various regulatory barriers and associated costs that probably aren’t an issue in less economically developed countries as long as their legal/bureaucratic systems are reasonable efficient and not thoroughly corrupt). I can’t really tell whether that offsets the fact that many/most capable/talented people are likely to move elsewhere when given the opportunity

> Maybe capitalism taken to the extreme is a mistake

I wouldn’t say that’s the case in much (or any, depending on how we “define” capitalism).

Also you’re certainly wrong about the overall “wellbeing” considering the migration/demographic trends (even before the war) in Ukraine and comparable countries. Certainly it doesn’t seem that a significant proportion of people living there are in a remotely as good position financially as you.

Hey, project lead here. I had a very specific use case in mind: I’m playing with using LLM agent frameworks for software engineering - like MemGPT, swe-agent, Langchain and my own hobby project called headlong (https://github.com/andyk/headlong). Headlong is focused on making it easy for a human to edit the thought history of an agent via a webapp. The longer term goal of headlong is collecting large-ish human curated datasets that intermix actions/observations/inner-thoughts and then use those data to fine-tune models to see if we can improve their reasoning.

While working on headlong I tried out and implemented a variety of ‘tools’ (i.e., functions) like editFile(), findFile(), sendText(), checkTime(), searchWeb(), etc., which the agents call using LLM function calling.

A bunch of these ended up being functions that interacted with an underlying terminal. This is similar to how swe-agent works actually.

But I figured instead of writing a bunch of functions that sit between the LLM and the terminal, maybe let the LLM use a terminal more like a human does, i.e., by “typing” input into it and looking at snapshots of the current state of it. Needed a way to get those stateful text snapshots though.

I first tried using tmux and also looked to see if any existing libs provide the same functionality. Couldn’t find anything so teamed up with Marcin to design and make ht.

playing with the agent using the terminal directly has evolved into a hypothesis that I’ve been exploring: the terminal may be the “one tool to rule them all” - i.e., if an agent learns to use a terminal well it can do most of what humans do on our computers. Or maybe terminal + browser are the “two tools to rule them all”?

Not sure how useful ht will be for other use cases, but maybe!
