The EU recently mandated instant SEPA transfers be free. UPI (India) and PIX (Brazil) have similarly very low cost instant transfers. There are ~54 instant payment systems globally as of this comment. https://fastpayments.worldbank.org/ looks like it'll eventually track this, but is sparse at the moment. https://www.pymnts.com/tracker/real-time-payments-world-map-... has more info if you're willing to register, which is annoying.

You're just pushing iso 20022 messages around for most of these systems to transfer value.

Calling Kaldi (if he did exist) Ethiopian is historical nonsense considering that Ethiopia didn’t exist back then, and the kingdom before it, Abyssinia, didn’t rule the kingdom of Kaffa where coffee is originally from.
It says JP Morgan Chase is on the list of providers, but in my online chase.com dashboard, I have zero reference to this service, nor can I find any way to use it.

All I see is the ancient dinosaur bill pay service, the ancient dinosaur wire service, the hideously expensive ach service, and then zelle. Some places accept zelle, some don't. Some people accept zelle, some don't. Which makes it impossible to use.

All those services suck. So what that means in real life, is just that everyone uses venmo and nothing else. Which I dislike greatly, but am forced to use.

I REALLY wish I could use this FedNow service, but I simply can't figure out HOW to do so.

Yeah I don't think allergies depend on external factors that much. My mother and I have pretty equivalent childhoods even down to same locations and she's wrecked with allergies and I have none, yet my health is worse overall (despite me having a healthier lifestyle).

While I believe some exposure helps build resistance ultimately your overall health will be influenced by stuff beyond your control AND your lifestyle/activities combined.
I think some developers cannot create and refine a mental model of the finished product well enough for it to be worth it for them to spend days doing it.

Show HN: I made a CLI integrated with ChatGPT
ChatGPT is great! Copilot is great! But, sometimes I just want to run a command from my terminal and get the result.

That's why I made the CLI Bud.

The idea behind is to automate tasks, such as write tests, do a code review, etc… directly from terminal.

I have embedded the prompts on the CLI, so I can so run `cb write test -f PATH_TO_DIR` and all the test files are created.

Also, CLI Bud let you start a conversation with ChatGPT directly from your terminal, which is very fast.

No, the "be attractive" of story-telling is, have a story that's worth telling.

The dark side of all this "how to tell a good story" stuff is teaching people how to suck up other people's attention on something that is fundamentally unworthy, like marketing drivel.
Ok. Let us opt in, and ideally pay for that data.

I've experienced being on teams where PRs and commits happen infrequently, resulting in massive PRs and merges/rebases that constantly have conflicts.

The spirit of pushing small incremental changes on a team really helps address that.

This can be sustainable if everyone on the team realizes that every PR is expected to be small and incremental. It shouldn't be a large push every time.
> HN loves to sign praises to it yet never looks into the detail nor has performance intuition to know that the use of predominantly interpreted languages is frequently inappropriate (note how Erlang is next to Ruby):

And you seem singularly focused in your belief that .Net is "the answer" every time a post promoting a BEAM ecosystem language comes up. It's clear you like .Net - good for you. It's solid and has nice features. But you're painting performance as some sort of absolute. It's not.

> Also, F#, building on top of .NET, has rich ecosystem and a set of its own async abstractions with all kinds of actor patterns being popular

What if I don't want "all sorts of async abstractions", but just one that works well?

> Why am I criticizing Gleam? Because we had two decades of programming languages built on slow foundations imposing strict performance ceiling.

And those programming languages have been used to develop sites like GitHub, WhatsApp, Facebook and countless other internet-scale apps. Every language and ecosystem imposes some form of performance ceiling. If performance was all that mattered, we'd all be writing assembler. It's about trade-offs: some of them technical, some of them social.

.Net is a mature, stable, and performant ecosystem. You do it a disservice by rubbishing alternatives per your original comment ("Impossibly slow, just use F#").

If it is all a lie, Apple will lose so much money from class action lawsuits and regulatory penalties.

> It’d be trivial to just use a fake hash

You have to go deeper to support this. Apple is publishing source code to firmware and bootloader, and the software above that is available to researchers.

The volume hash is computed way up in the stack, subject to the chain of trust from these components.

Are you suggesting that Apple will actually use totally different firmware and bootloaders, just to be able to run different system images that report fake hashes, and do so perfectly so differences between actual execution environment and attested environment cannot be detected, all while none of the executives, architects, developers, or operators involved in the sham ever leaks? And the nefarious use of the data is never noticed?

At some point this crosses over into “maybe I’m just a software simulation and the entire world and everyone in it are just constructs” territory.
The invasion of Libya was fully authorised by the UNSC, and it was not conducted or approved solely by NATO. Libya was also already in a highly destructive civil war before the intervention, which is why it happened, so it’s not like they went in and destabilised a stable country. Gaddafi had built Libya’s security around himself in a cult of personality, things were always going to fall apart once his power waned.

Which other countries did NATO invade?
The main reason for using a BEAM language is to leverage multicore/concurrency conveniently and reliably. Gleam's OTP seems not as mature as that of Erlang or Elixir. If you want to write simple programs, then Gleam seems okay. If you want mature multicore or concurrent use, then I would think twice.

Here is a critical review of the officially listed limitations of Gleam's OTP:

1. Lack of Support for Named Processes: This is a significant limitation because named processes are essential for easy reference and communication between different parts of the system. Without support, developers might resort to workarounds that could lead to errors and inefficiencies.

2. Untyped Global Mutable Variables: The use of untyped global mutable variables introduces potential risks, such as runtime errors and unpredictable behavior, especially since they can be uninitialized. This undermines the type safety and reliability generally expected in functional programming environments.

3. Limited Actor Abstractions: The current scarcity of actor abstractions could restrict developers from implementing more complex or varied concurrency patterns, limiting the utility of the library until more abstractions are added.

4. Unsupported OTP System Messages: Dropping unsupported system messages can lead to unexpected behavior and bugs that are difficult to trace. Full support for OTP system messages is crucial for reliable and predictable actor-based concurrency.

5. Uniform Shutdown Period for Supervisors' Children: Not having different shutdown periods for child processes, especially for child supervisors, can lead to improper shutdowns and potential data loss or corruption. This deviates from the behavior in Erlang and Elixir, where more granular control is available.

6. Limited Testing: The lack of extensive testing, both in unit tests and real-world applications, indicates that the library might be unstable or have undiscovered bugs. This could affect its adoption and reliability in production environments.

For sure. I work as a freelancer, and I think there is an awful lot of similarity between dating and engaging new clients. Fundamentally, both sides are thinking "do I want to spend more time with this person", in addition to what they concretely offer.

A Better Font List
Finding the perfect font can be tedious. We've created a smarter font list that is sorted by visual similarity using visual transformers.

Well they are functional monopolies but also even if you don't use Meta services, if any of your friends posted a photo with you on there, it can also be used for training and without an account, you can't even object to that.

If a tumour is left to grow for long enough, random body parts can grow in it such as teeth and hair. Therefore, humans definitely have the ability to regenerate teeth. I'm still sceptical that what is being discussed in this article will lead anywhere. We should have laboratory grown tumours and then implant the grown teeth from that.
Kind of tangentially related but I think pretty relevant is Scale by Geoffreys West

Hmm, really nice! I might have to steal all of this for my language (https://github.com/alexisread/minim/blob/develop/minim/minim... really in flux ATM)

Reminds me of https://pygmy.utoh.org/3ins4th.html except the third instruction is execute rather than quote.

In the spirit of building from scratch, I'd like to highlight sectorforth/milliforth (https://github.com/fuzzballcat/milliForth/blob/master/sector...) - they implement as little as possible to get a working system ie. just the basic fetch/store ops, numerical and I/O.

The parser can probably be reduced - there's a nice paper detailing Cognition (a forth dialect, but the parsing could be broken out into a lib - https://ret2pop.nullring.xyz/blog/cognition.html) where using a couple of crank operators, you can implement custom syntax in a forth-style way (as opposed to say PEGs).

In terms of variables and scoping, Dreams (another forth dialect- http://elilabs.com/~rj/dreams/dreams-rep.html) uses mianly dynamic scoping, and builds it's structs (C-style structs) using the standard forth struct words. This allows it to be hard-realtime though as you don't need to walk the lexical tree to bind variables. You can also early bind like with CBPV. I guess this is also similar to REBOL's BINDology (https://github.com/r3n/rebol-wiki/wiki/Bindology)

Lots of overlap here with these things. Just for completeness there's also dynamic variable handling (over lexically scoped structures) with wat (https://github.com/GiacomoCau/wat-js/tree/master) though this is not realtime.

Is it possible to make the closures dynamically scoped by default here? I've not had time to think about this properly. I like the fact that eval is lazy here like in forth or REBOL, rather than eager as in lisp - the idea of passing around blocks/thunks appeals wrt realtime (well with dynamic scoping) and parallelism.

The env per-thread I guess could be compared to the forth dictionary? Dreams abstracts this by virtue of it's (token) threading model which appears useful for task switching, objects and the like.

I'd also like to highlight able forth which has:
Compiler-only design (like Freeforth)
- Word-classes (like Retro)
- A straightforward bootstrap process using a minimal set of seed words (like seedForth)
- No (ZERO) special forms, not even integers, and a consistent model for adding literals without the complexity of i.e. recognises
- A single flat word-list that can be freely manipulated and composed of other word-lists
- No separate [assembly] code words
- Explicit optimizations (ONLY) i.e. explicit tail-call elimination

I've only started looking into able forth so can't really comment on it much, but the no-special-forms appeals here.

Sorry, random thoughts here, I'd like to discuss further when I've had time to digest your language. :)
The GPU in the M-series is much slower than a 4090. 4060-4070ish performance at best, and it varies quite a bit.
I was one of the original donors in June 2202, iirc, for Ton to buy Blender and start the Blender Foundation. I used birthday money and sent I think, $50, that's why I remember it to this day. I still use Blender, but I was using it back then to generate 3D reliefs to carve on my self-built 4x8 foot CNC router table. I wrote a script based on a shape-from-shading algorithm originally developed by NASA to get more out of all of the single-lens B&W satellite photos they had. My company was The Wooden Image. To the other poster: you could do procedural stuff in Blender early on using Python scripting, although I was using POV-Ray very early on.
I think it was less of the bank not trusting me and more not trusting my mother, as she had just set up her account for Zelle that day. Either way, there are not this many security gates when writing a check, and it's insulting to deny me access to send my own money as I see fit. If it was about trusting me they would not have let me send the wire (which is the same as Zelle when it comes to inability to claw back money).

It's what adults have (mostly) left for (most US) kids to do - when adults replaced free roaming areas with roads and private property.

As a child, I could walk in any direction and either find area to explore (safe from interfering adults) or find other kids. Same as my parents, g-parents, ancestors going back 10s x 1000s of years.

My kids had nowhere to go. Same for their peers all over.

I'm fine with taking away their ~only practical method of connecting as long as we return the spaces kids had for connecting (thruout history).

I see many comments replying to the above statement, and I am no exception.. what about the saying that goes: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"?
Even lower hanging fruit would be increasing the dispatchability of demand in homes. Simply allowing heating and cooling to be dispatched would be very helpful. In the past this was done with bespoke add-ons to furnaces and AC compressors, but now it's done with smart thermostats.
I'm glad to see this. I have thought about making a "collaboration contract" with similar perspective.

some comments:

> If for some reason I realize that during a communication thread, we are jumping on arguments with each other (or blaming each other). I will drop the communication right then and there. This is different from holding my position in a discussion. I will not engage in a conversation that is not productive. I will take a break and come back to it later.

disappearing quickly might not be seen/understood well. I suggest saying something like, "I need to take a few minutes to cool down" before disappearing

But if I felt true horror or sadness at every event which warranted it I would have killed myself a long time ago, assuming I could keep up with the astronomical accounting entailed in keeping track of them all.

Povray clearly holds a special place for many of us. For me it was the first use (via slow dial up) to access HENSA (higher ed national software archive) in the uk for public domain software, and this by itself was mind blowing, in between dealing with my mother keeping picking the other phone up and dropping the connection.

The batch processing tools of that era for graphics were qualitatively different from the real time interactive editors. There is something to be said for the imperfect serendipity that would result. The closest thing these days, oddly, is ML training, where part of the appeal is the sense the computer is working super hard for you. Were you to recreate the same concepts on modern hardware you would do something like SDF CSG on GPUs, but it would be surprisingly interactive and so missing this surprise element.
I would say if the user has access to the historic data there is a good chance that any program having similar privileges would have access to it as well.
