yah, I can't see any issues that will evolve from having a wide range of physical development level of approximately the same mental prowess in a classroom... I mean I certainly never got into any mutual violence situations with any of my classmates, nor did we ever choose each other as sexual partners.. (I can keep going with sarcastically listing things that definitely routinely happened in my k-12 classrooms that you almost certainly don't want happening between people more than a couple years apart that your policy choice would heavily facilitate).
There are valid social(ization) reasons to keep kids approximately the same age in a classroom. The lucky thing is, if you live in a city you usually have a big enough cohort of kids that you can do some of this sorting within grade, although I am personally skeptical of that as a solution. I remember ~10% of the kids being highly disruptive and it would have been nice to have them gone but there was this huge, probably majority of the class, that was dumber than me but trying hard to get ahead and keep up that I think was probably beneficial to society keeping there because they got pulled ahead more than I got held back.

Be super clear on why you want to add AI. Is it solving some specific problem better than a non-AI approach (like maybe a library of pattern matching where tasks like “Ask Jane…” or “Learn about…” bubble to the top)? Or, let’s be honest — we’re all friends here — do you just want an excuse to play with AI?
Show HN: Clai – Dev and DevOps centric LLM CLI tool
I wanted to have a tool where I could pipe data into an AI for fast and easy processing, instead of copy-pasting into some chat GUI, which spawned the first version of clai. Since then I've expanded it to support multiple LLM's to try them out, as well as photo generation.

Additions since last release: https://github.com/baalimago/clai/releases/tag/v1.4.0
> Project management software is a solution, not a problem.

Yeah. I don't pay anyone for software, I pay them to get rid of a problem. One example from when I used to do more consulting was having to send information to the client securely. I didn't look for software, I looked for a way to do what I needed, and to do it in a way that met the client's needs.
“LLMs can provide references. There’s no limitation on that.”

That’s not really an LLM providing references, but a separate db as an extra step providing the references.

Are those "influencers" or just "content creators"?
There are certain vocations that, unless you are in the top 0.1%, you are doomed to the life of struggling.

Actors, of course, are a big example - not everyone can be getting Brad Pitt roles. Or restaurant chefs - just a handful run multi-nation food empires, while the rest are shortening their life spans in the kitchen, 12 hours a day without weekends.

Trying to be an influencer is like trying to start a band and aim to be the next Nirvana.

Go to school, kids, learn a real trade, and do the rock band thing on the side. If it works, great, if not - at least you will play guitar.

Yup, just like the problem with plastics is "solved" by recycling, which only manages to handle a fraction of the plastic generated, doesn't address microplastic pollution, and the economic viability of recycling is incredibly poor, in part because the polymers break down quite a bit with use/age/reprocessing.
Ngl, but if the "app" is simply an straight forward compliment to an existing feature of the phone, I don't consider it a sustainable and viable long term business nor something the original manufacturer should shy away from implementing.

Otherwise, it's no different than trying to legitimize even more middlemen.
I don't want a CUDA rival. I want to get the entire pile of CUDA code that is already written and run it on AMD GPUs without any kind of tweak or rewrite, and have it just work every time

Compatibility with existing code is very important. People can't afford to rewrite their stuff just to support AMD, and thus they don't

AMD is kind of trying to do this with rocm and HIP, but whatever they are doing it's not enough

I’ve been online for a long time, am I an old curmudgeon who thinks “influencing” isn’t a meaningful profession? Not too long ago people made videos and shared it for fun, to give back to the world. Not to take in profit.

Many of these people have used and abused their audience, accepting sponsorships from unscrupulous companies like BetterHelp, and portray a way of life that isn’t realistic.

Social media is harmful, I suspect we will look back at it one day and realize it’s the source of a mental health epidemic.
No, it's not false equivalence. You seem to be completely missing the point.

Let's say that there's a major terrorist attack that uses a freight train as a bomb. Let's say that it took very careful, long term observation of trains in order to gather the information that made the attack possible. Let's say that in response, Congress passes legislation that makes it illegal to loiter in a location where you can watch railroad traffic. But my hobby is watching trains, and I think "surely that can't be constitutional", so I keep doing it. Homeland Security looks at my location data from my phone and has me arrested. I go to court and the jury finds me guilty because that's the law and watching trains is a really weird hobby that none of them identify with. In a decade the Supreme Court rules that the law is unconstitutional, and I go free. Due process worked (eventually), but it still ruined a decade of my life.

Now let's say that instead, Chairman Xi gets paranoid and decides that it's dangerous to allow people to watch trains. He issues a decree to that effect. Also, he (or his intelligence services) can get access to my location data, and can see that I'm hanging out by railroad lines watching trains. And there's not a thing he can do about it - not without conquering the United States first.

So, no, it's not false equivalence. I absolutely value due process and jury trials. I'm glad I live in the US and not in China. But I also am aware that even in the US, law enforcement at times oversteps their authority and the rules. We have layers of protections, and those layers of protections usually work in the end (there are those who would accuse me of being blindly optimistic here).

But for all China's problems, and lack of democracy, and lack of due process, and all that, they can't jail me. The US is my problem; China isn't. (And keeping the protections the US offers is my problem - or my responsibility, if you prefer. Keeping protections against unreasonable search and seizure is part of that.)
That's why you wash your hands afterwards. I don't think anyone advocates for doing just one.
Best log tool !
I’d like to see the math on that. It seems more practical to pump gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere if you want to do that.
I like this, but I have trouble with relating architecture to complexity. The "generally" qualifier serves as an apt escape hatch but permit me to ignore that for a moment.

Architecture emerges as the holistic shape of the design, the pattern of patterns, the bones of the system. It's possible to have architecture that reduces complexity by reducing scope and forcing apt compartmentalization into reusable, composable bits. One could perhaps even argue that GoF's Design Patterns attempts to commoditize the language to achieve greater degree of simplicity... but let's not.

I have trouble distinguishing architecture from design here. Imagine a kitchen with many cabinets, all alike. Some cupboards open by pulling a handle, some open when you push the handle, others swing up, or you must unscrew the handle. This is horrible and unintuitive, and surprising. Good architecture like good design eschews surprises (as in shock) and provides intuition by weaving consistency through the system. You build an expectation that things behave a certain way, and they do.

I would posit that good architecture, like good design, does not introduce complexity, rather the complexity is present regardless, and they delete layers of uncertainty and facilitate the necessary clarity to bring the overall objective into focus.

Perhaps there is a complexity cost introduced by adhering to a design or pattern or architecture, but if it's not outweighed by the credit it provides, offsetting overall complexity, then it's bad.

Your observation about path-dependency is on the money most certainly.
Anyone who downloads this is a moron.
Every programming language is frequently a poor choice for somethings and frequently a good choice for others.

As someone who’s been writing software for 30 years and in well over a dozen different programming languages, I can tell you that there’s no such thing as a language that doesn’t have any problems. And that’s without even touching on programmers personal preferences.
I agree with your point in general. However, it will not be fair to say that nobody wants to be a bus driver or keep the internet alive. Think about train driver in Switzerland who enjoy stunning views every day by doing a routine job daily.
FWIW, the original "museum" games by Namco (in the PSX era) were set in a virtual museum, A 3D space that you walked through in first person perspective. Each game was set in its own gallery with a bunch of paraphernalia hanging around it that you could look at and get more info about. I don't think preservation was implied, it was just a skeuomorphic display metaphor. The name stuck, even if the UI changed.

I enjoyed the whimsy of them.

The surprise factor is only for the current generation of people who are used to it
and who are used to other languages that the same kind of for loop and closures that can escape (basically only JS?)

But the internal consistency between the for;; and for range allows you never doubt about the rule again once you first learned it. Yes, there is the risk that you'll get it wrong once (if you first learn the language or if you are used to the old rules) but if the language authors had only fixed for range, then a lot more people would get for;; wrong just because they would be never sure which way it would be.

So the only "solution" would be to never fix "for range" or disallow for :=;; ?

In any case I think that if you really care about the old semantics, it's not a bad idea to making it obvious to the reader that you intend to directly or indirectly take a reference to the iteration variable and that it effectively survives the loop body with:

var i int
for i = 0; i < 4; i++ {
This strange name translation sometimes just due to misunderstanding. When they translate the hulk tv in 1960, the guy mistook the doctor meant medical doctors. I always confused why there is no medical thing involved. Then Dr strange come along. The translator thought it is a phd doctor.

Anywhere for lady name, you would expect colony will be good. But queen was translated wrongly as well. Hong Kong has a king’s road and queen’s road. The queen road is wrongly translated as king console instead queen. And the road is in the center of occupation as well, cutting thru Central. Well.

Translation is hard.
The speed of electrical waves in a chip is ~c/2.

The relative permittivity εr of SiO2 is ~4.

c = c0 / sqrt(εr)

c0 = 1 /sqrt(ε0εr × μ0μr) and in vacuum εr=μr=1.

But the frequency needs to be sufficiently high in order to observe wave propagation, let's say >10GHz.

For low frequencies the electric conductor behaves more like a RC chain.
Really? And here I thought they all died in their 90's.
> It's noticeable how few computer wargames simulate any of this, instead allowing for frictionless high speed micromanagement

In military Command and Staff Training (e.g. for training large HQs), the solution to this is that the trainees don't use the simulations themselves. Instead they issue commands using emulated C2 systems to role players ('lower controllers') pretending to be subordinate forces, who then execute the orders using the sim, and then report back what has happened, as far as they can tell. This generates quite a lot of useful friction. Another group of role players ('higher controllers') represent the HQ superior to the trainees HQ and in turn issue them with orders. The role players and opposing force are also following direction from exercise control (EXCON) and can easily be used to dial up the pressure on the trainees. There is a small industry (e.g. [0]) supporting the exercise management systems that keep track of the various 'injects' that are fed to the trainees via the role players, or by simulated ISR assets, etc.

Just to build off this a little, there are also quite a few examples of cases in which Apple "sherlocked" an app and the original app(s) continued being successful as they offered a much more advanced feature-set than the basic version Apple introduced. In some cases app authors talked about getting more publicity as the feature or utility became more mainstream and more people searched for functionality that wasn't available from Apple.
A brute force search can be expected to find a solution after a more thorough search of the space of possibilities. If it really is only searching 0.000001% of that space before finding solutions, then some structure of the problem is guiding the search and it's no longer brute force.
maybe you're not the target audience then.

Show HN: Multimodal Sign System Categorization
I now create all the knowledge I need from the first principles that I learned before Google Search went bad.
The laptop is designed to accept power over some terrible barrel jack that isn't actually made of metal. The conductive coating can scrape off after just a couple months of use and render it completely inert. That had happened again so I was stuck with USB-C charging, and that particular laptop only supported up to 65W via its single Thunderbolt port. I eventually fixed this for good by just stripping the barrel off and hard soldering the power cable directly to the motherboard.

Anyway, indeed, that laptop was not designed to run off 65W. Mainly because it had a dedicated Nvidia GPU, but also because it had a bunch of other stuff (couple 6W fans, bright 4K panel, etc.).

The battery basically didn't exist from the very day I got the laptop brand new from Best Buy. I'm not sure if it's possible to get good battery life out of a 99Wh battery while pulling 230W. Of course, you could simply increase the battery capacity, but a not-insignificant fraction of laptop buyers want to bring them on planes so that'd be a pretty dumb idea.
Ya, I saw those demos (I own the stock), incredible. But I'm thinking things more like just a single VR friend who has memory and (optionally) prior knowledge of your background. I think these could be an absolute blessing for a lot of people who have lots of time on their hands but no one to talk to.

Or, leaning more towards your examples, a Grand Theft Auto style environment containing millions of them, except life like.

No, in fact we have no way to decrypt the emails on our servers, nor can we share them in an unencrypted format with any third parties (law enforcement included). All the data requests we comply with only include metadata which needs to remain unencrypted for the services to function properly.
Oh no, portable workstations are a whole nother thing. This was 100% marketed and sold as a laptop. But gaming laptops have never been good with battery life.

I would ask the same question, but unironically. No, you didn't make up those programs of course. I didn't claim that real-world programs are impossible to write in Haskell. I claimed that Haskell is a bad tool for writing real-world programs. People make sub-optimal decisions all the time. That's just human nature... choosing Haskell for any program that would require debugging, long-term maintenance, cross-platform UI, or plenty of other desirable properties is just a very bad choice. But people like you do it anyways!

Why? -- there are plenty of possible answers. If I wanted to look for the flattering answers, I'd say that a lot of experienced and talented programmers like Haskell. So, choosing to write in Haskell for that reason isn't such a bad idea. But, if I wanted to judge Haskell on its engineering rather than social merits: it has very little to bring to the table.
And some EU member states ignored that decision and still to this day keeps recording this data...
Good point, some of the apps, while useful, are clearly ‘currently missing feature but almost surely will be implemented’ type of apps. As a founder, you need to be thinking about the moat.

> But .. that's nothing less than a huge opportunity for India to start building things the Russians need and want.

OP asserted that Russia switching away from US dollars to rubles had no significant impact.

The fact is that Russia cannot even use rubles in international commerce. That is a major impact. They cannot buy stuff.

Nevertheless, you are commenting on hypothetical advantages for India. Not Russia, but India. And merely hypothetical in the sense that hypothetical indian companies might have a potential market now that Russia cannot use rupees. How's that a real advantage?

Everyone just points out major blockages and barriers when switching away from the US dolar accompanied with absolutely no upside at all, and we are expected to believe this change should not have any significant impact?
The problem you are illustrating is that art doesn't have much hard value whereas google products do.
