Did you know that Ukraine ranks 2nd in terms of the number of AI companies in Central and Eastern Europe? We implement artificial intelligence in defense, education, and public administration. And innovative solutions of Ukrainian AI companies have long been on the international market.

To develop the technologies of the future even more actively, we need to comprehensively analyze the state and challenges of the sector. To this end, Roosh Investment Group and the largest Ukrainian AI community AI HOUSE, with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, conducted the first large-scale study of the artificial intelligence ecosystem in Ukraine.

350 specialists in artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as education experts, top managers of IT companies and investment funds took part in the study, which analyzed

Thanks for the constructive criticism! There’s definitely room for improvement.

The design was intended to be minimalistic, but perhaps overly so. The preview could indeed be clarified: The letter corresponds to the day of the month, so the A headwords are unlocked on the 1st. Today’s the 19th, hence S.

The cards in the login/signup sheet are notifications, but I agree that the (non-dismissible) signup notification should be clickable. It’s not obvious that the padlock and key icons are buttons. As for passkeys, I do think they are ready for prime time, but password-less login will require user-friendly onboarding. The terse explanation on the Help page doesn’t cut it.

The five words sliding across the home page are currently hard-coded, but will soon cycle every weekday. You can turn off this upcoming “word-a-day” feature at https://flowery.app/settings.

I’m delighted that someone caught the Shakespeare reference! The product’s value should converge to its price as it evolves.

A comment from that first discussion, by nknight:

> If you substitute "practicality" wherever you see "worse is better", you'll have a much clearer idea of what the "philosophy" really is...

"Worse is better" is about pragmatism - do what works. "Better is better" is about doing what's right. But if something is "right", and yet doesn't work as well as something that's "wrong"... how "right" is it? (Note that here we are talking about technology, not morality.)

The whole comment is worth reading, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2727811

An additional thought: Worse, done fast, gets you earlier feedback. If your original vision wasn't dead on, this may be better than a perfect implementation of a flawed vision.
I too like learning new words. Seems like a synonym for 'lumbering' minus the awkward part.
My point is that this was a waste of effort and money. They just need to listen to us patients and stop thinking we cannot be objective. Whenever it comes to mental health people think there is a total loss of objectivity. All you have to do is look at the patient. Is there a need to get a brain scan to see if I am anxious if I am acting objectively anxious?

This need to measure everything is almost pathological.
Ask HN: How the heck do you go from freelance dev to mid-senior level dev?
I'm struggling to get back on my feet following divorce (18 years), depression, losing 2 parents my mom and the grandma who actually raised me - all in a 3 month period, well mom died the first month after separation in March, Grandma died a week after the divorce was final in June... (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40714641).

I've revamped my resume 100 different ways, and it actually seems since i broke off my clients into their own jobs basically it is worse, but it looks more professional according to mine and Claude's opinion lol.

I'm 44, I've been using Laravel for 11 years, I'm full-stack. I've played with go, rust, and built small projects in python for clients. Of course JS ecosystem (react, vue, svelte, nextjs, prisma, etc).

I'd like a job that actually pays me what I'm worth, or well better than I get freelancing ($40). I haven't raised my rates since 2017, probably my first problem there. I was afraid I wouldn't find clients, but I'm not finding any now either... So might as well not find ones that pay me $80 an hour, right? Or maybe I actually find one..

Anyways, how do I get into a decent company -- startup, FAANG, w/e... I'd be super happy with $120k+.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat either.

Idk. I own a Meta Quest 3 and this thing is one of the most impressive tech I saw in the last decade. AR on this $500 headset is incredible.

While I’m amazed by the hardware, the thing is totally limited by the software. I mean, the OS is technically pretty good, you are really tricked into thinking the windows are floating in your room and interacting with it is really natural. But you just can’t do shit with it because Meta decided it.

I’m really waiting for something more with the already existing technology, because before I tried it, I didn’t knew it was that advanced and I can see myself be pretty productive with it.
There's 2 ways mastodon can scale (or not):

1. Per-server

2. Network-wide

Moderation load is per-server scaling, mostly. I'd argue that if the load gets to be too much, moderators do less moderating and people decide to migrate to other servers. That's kind of a clean scaling strategy, tbh.

However, adding servers isn't a great story. There's n^2 network connections (worst case) that need to be made to service all subscriptions. That's definitely a scaling problem, although probably addressable via an architecture inspired by gossip protocols.
I get paid to write Swift code at the day job, at night I write a lot of node backend code for a side project. I have to say that it's pretty refreshing to jump in and not have the (increasingly) opinionated Swift compiler barking at me for everything I do. Unfortunately Swift has also made me extremely paranoid in JS, where I find that everything I write is checked for null, but I don't think I'd trade the freedom in nodeJS for Swift's type safety. This is super cool though, well done.
It's source available. It's definitely not open source. It's deception plain and simple.
Five-sided thought is a hell of a drug, are you _sure_ you want to know?
Yeah, but 27 percent of your first year's salary in value? I'm not sure.
Again, I don't regret it, I just think everyone that went through it could have succeeded without it.
Schema changes and the Postgres lock queue
I would love it if you did! You're actually one of the few sources that shines a bright spot on what the NT kernel is good at, outside of the ex-Sysinternals folks.
It's possible that safety will eventually become the business advantage, just like privacy can be a business advantage today but wasn't taken so seriously 10-15 years ago by the general public.

This is not even that far-fetched. A safe AI that you can trust should be far more useful and economically valuable than an unsafe AI that you cannot trust. AI systems today aren't powerful enough for the difference to really matter yet, because present AI systems are mostly not yet acting as fully autonomous agents having a tangible impact on the world around them.
I agree to some extent, though there is a point to make about going with the basics first.
React isn’t really a Blackbox, it‘s mostly written in plain old TypeScript and the internals don’t really do anything you couldn’t write yourself. What you should do however is rather than starting with a big framework like React as a beginner, start out with the absolute basics in plain JS. Learn how the language works, learn to manipulate the DOM yourself. Then, when you understand the basics, you can start appreciating what React does for you and understand (to some extent) how the underlying systems work.

Where I agree though is that you don’t have to learn all the basics before you can proceed. I’ve been writing frontend code in for about six years now and I catch myself learning something new about browsers, web infrastructure and JavaScript itself nearly every day.

All this is to say, don’t be afraid to both start at the beginning and understand the basics, and skip ahead a few chapters and try new things and learn as you go.
Meeting up in real life is all about network effects - people make friends through networks, organize events through networks, and discover new opportunities through networks. If you're talking about small events that you found out about through sites like Meetup, those are typically successful when you have a large-enough network of people who _might_ be interested.
For me it is intense focus or stress and they could cause me to hold my breath.
I asked this same question to someone on bluesky who worked for it, and I didn't get a remotely coherent answer. If anything, it feels like the "identity portability" actually sets you up for the exact same kind of centralization we're trying to get away from.

While I get that, "lots of servers and easy to create and destroy accounts" may not be the best for adoption/popularity, it definitely feels like the long run smartest way to go about it.
That's not what they said though. Seems to me more of a libertarian ideal than making a new government.
I'm surprised he didn't claim to to have fought them off bare handed with the deadly skills he learned training with Shaolin monks or some shit. He seems like the type to have a mall katana in his office.
There will always be a factor of time in terms of able to utilize super intelligence to do your bidding and there is a big spectrum of things that can be achieved it it always starts small. The imagination is lazy when thinking about all the steps and inbetween + scenarios. In the time that super intelligence is found and used, there will be competing near super intelligences, as all forms of cutting edge models are likely commercial at first because that is where most scientific activities are at. Things very unlikely will go Skynet all of a sudden at first because humans at the control are not that stupid otherwise nuclear war would have us all killed by now and it’s been 50 years since invention
Yes, I just mean that the way we moderate HN (including how we handle negative YC-related stories), while it doesn't satisfy everyone, does satisfy the majority of users here. That's no accident—it's why we moderate HN this way in the first place. Keeping the community happy (er, as happy as possible under the circumstances) is the important job. Without that, HN would disintegrate.

Of course I'd rather satisfy even more users, but it's hard to figure out how to do that at scale. For one thing, i's not monotonic: making changes to satisfy class X can easily dissatisfy class Y, and then it's unclear if we're worse off or better; probably worse.

That applies in cases like the current thread, btw. I believe the majority of HN readers would find HN less satisfying if flamebait were more prominent on the site. People come here to get away from all that, to find new and (above all) interesting things they haven't seen before. Doing our best to clear away the less intellectually-curious stuff (riler-uppers, mountain-from-molehill clickbait, tawdry drama and so on) helps keep a large part, and actually the more valuable part, of the audience here. It would be foolish to trade that away in the hope of winning over the bitter contingent who, though vocal and prolific, are a tiny sliver of the community. Especially since attempting to win them over would likely be futile. I know, because I've tried—hard and for years.

The conflict-of-interest concern is a real one, of course, and the solution to that is the rule I've been explaining elsewhere in the thread (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). It does the job fine and has held up well. It doesn't satisfy everyone, but the users it doesn't are probably unsatisfiable anyhow; and it reduces the risk of alienating the ones who are here for the right reason (to read interesting things).

> Hope I don't count among those.

Don't worry, we're good! But I appreciate you adding those bits because it's not always easy to tell where people are coming from.

I should say one other thing: criticism is fine, I'm happy to do my best to answer it, and critical users have their place. Even the users (not talking about you here!) who are mad about something we did or didn't do 10 years ago and show up at every opportunity with garish accusations—even they have their place...though they're not necessarily the easiest to relate to.

MSMQ?
fwiw, I agree with Yann & you (and many others!) on the shortcomings of LLMs (not from a position of authority, but as a matter of opinion).

I meant to counter-balance OP's point in that there are other equally accomplished individuals who aren't swayed by Yann's (and others accelerationists like Andrew Ng) arguments or claims.

I think there's usually a difference between human-level and super-intelligent in these conversations. You can reasonably assume (some day) a superintelligence is going to

1) understand how to improve itself & undertake novel research

2) understand how to deceive humans

3) understand how to undermine digital environments

If an entity with these three traits were sufficiently motivated, they could pose a material risk to humans, even without a physical body.
This is well known via the paperclip maximization problem.
psst: "admits" is a tell
Only if you ignore calculations around quantum collapses, or whatever your favorite interpretation calls those. We don't yet know how to calculate when those will happen, so that is by far the most complex task since it hasn't been solved yet.

I suspect that solving those collapses is key to connecting quantum mechanics to relativity, seems like a much more reasonable place to look than to invent even more fields like string theory does.
Yes. If memory serves this is the first event that LIGO detected. Two black holes of 20-30 solar masses each, joining and releasing 1-2 solar masses worth of gravity.

Which resulted in the earth (and space) being stretched by less than a fraction of a proton.

And we measured it...
To what end?

What are you looking for to distinguish from a unix like system?

At what level of the stack are you looking for things to stand apart?

Consider that for many folks today, the Operating System interface is not much more than an HTTP/S socket. Where Unix was "everything is a file", today it's, almost, "everything is a POST" (I appreciate this is a broad brush).

At this level, the underlying OS is mostly shrouded.

The OS doesn't determine the user interface. We conflate the two, but that's not necessary. A unix system would happily accommodate a Window 3.1 style interface, if that's what you wanted.

Those in the field will kibitz about how one "serialized object" protocol is better/worse than the other. But, in the end, most of it doesn't really matter. Not at a human scale.

Sure, when you have half the planet using your services, and you measure your computer power in hectares, and power budget in Megawatts, small gains are big gains.

But however we, say, talk to a printer? How the handshake is managed before we dump a 20MB photo into it, doesn't really matter so much.

With our trend of just wrapping execution contexts into more and more context wrappers (threads in processes in containers in vms), there's so many layers to penetrate, we've not quite given up on the security of kernels, but they're certainly less important. Do we really need something like a capability system anymore?
It’s fun to implement if you haven’t. I read and implemented one from this book:

Oof, in his reasons to use docker (which it seems like he uses as a synonym for containerization), misses probably the most important one -

6. Provides an additional layer of security between the application and its host

As far as his availability concerns, I don't see why running or not running docker would help this problem. You can certainly build highly available nginx reverse proxies in docker, and can do in place upgrades with no downtime. This has been solved for a very long time.

Great article, wish it talked about how we might address the issue.
yes where I work there is an alert for when a lambda is not running. I have proposed wrapping the lambda code in a while() loop on a fargate many many times to save $thousands of dollars but I lack the political power to actually do it.
So quick to jump to conclusions and consider legal actions before even confirming anything. People are too eager to pick up the pitchforks.
If I had to guess I would guess they meant against Twitter. IMHO the EFF should be biased against Twitter given their mission, so I wouldn't even consider it to be bias personally.

Interesting. Really, the more I think about it, the more I'm dissapointed in the OP. Yes, I totally agree with OP that mid-rise 2-4 stories of residential over ground level of retail is a great livable urban design, and it would be a huge mistake to do anything to discourage or prevent this.

The question is -- what are the constraints on what that looks like, what is it exactly that people are saying they don't like about "5 over 1", let's compare to various historical ways of building several stories of residentail over a ground floor of retail, let's look at what the cost factors and constraints are here, let's compare different cities, let's think about what sort of building codes might lead to different designs, etc.

I want that article!

(To be fair, plenty of new construction in Chicago is pretty bad too. I think that second picture I posted above of residential-over-retail is a pretty ugly and street-unfriendly building, although it gives everyone a front-facing balcony that presumably raised the value of those presumably condos. looks like a parking garage. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.962424,-87.6661565,3a,75y,26... )
Yes. I had a couple business ideas and registered three different domains. Within a year id gotten pens, sticky notes, notebooks and cold calls all mentioning one of the domains I registered. This was 2016-2017. Now I create mail aliases specifically to track whos doing this to me now.

I'm not saying it's the ideal solution, but it is a solution. What punishment would you suggest that would be equally or more effective? I think your minimisation of their crimes only serves to perpetuate the problem. Indeed, there is a school of thought supposing that something like a public lashing or caning - carefully administered - is actually a more humane and effective deterrent than throwing them in jail for 5 years. Singapore would be an extreme example - they have very strict laws covering petty crimes with the punishment often being corporal - but they also do not suffer from the petty crime epidemic that the west currently is.
Neat! And affordable! Thanks! I will definitely look further into them. I got the 10gbE CNA from another university surplus find where a half dozen were being used as 16gb fibre channel adapters with SFP fibre modules. A little digging revealed that they could be switched to 10gbE CNA mode which is a lot more useful for my purposes. Enterprise gear is full of surprises :D

Only potential downside I see is the included pcie switch chip. It's dividing up 8gbps between three devices which could independently consume all of that bandwidth. Probably not a huge issue for my uses, but worth considering if you plan on transferring large amounts of data over network and storage simultaneously.
I have previously used Namecheap and not had this issue. I feel like if they were selling my data, I would have gotten at least one piece of spam at namecheap.mydomainname@my-catchall-email-domain.com, which I never have. Although it's possible that there was a data breach, or even that they purchased the data from the payment provider you use. It's also possible they just lied to you.

Nice absolute certainty you have there.
Games are hugely varied. No doubt there are games out there for which SQLite is perfect. But I wouldn't use it for making partial updates in something like Minecraft.

It's not practical to store individual Minecraft blocks as table entries, so if you were using SQLite, you'd likely just store chunks (e.g. 16x16x16 blocks) as binary blobs. Then you'd rewrite entire chunks on save. It's not really taking advantage of what SQLite offers.

There are a lot of serializers and frameworks out there you could choose from, but even something as simple as just writing one map region per file and overwriting modified regions on save would be better than SQLite.
