This blog post doesn't have much useful content, but I'll add a piece of advice I wish someone had told me when I was ±15:

Most decision makers are fundamentally lazy. When they're choosing the person to promote to manager, the employee to hire, the startup company to invest in, or the restaurant to have lunch at, the decision methodology used is in no way optimal or hyper-rational. It's mostly just based what's familiar, nearby, and available.

And so realistically when great opportunities are available, the people getting them are not the best and brightest in the world, they're the best and brightest in the room – which often pale in comparison to the world at large. But they're good enough, familiar, and available, and so they are able to capitalize on those opportunities.

Thus the piece of advice is: find that room and get yourself inside, because the opportunity is not going to come looking for you.
The U.S. Added Nearly 600k Super Commuters in 2022
I agree that Windows 2000 looks the best. I inherited a system that was running Windows Server 2003 that we have since replaced with up-to-date software. We needed to do it, of course but, the Windows 2000 UI was way better than what we have today. It was simpler but also more consistent.
I have the same problem on my Mac since installing Teams. Now Microsoft Update Manager starts every time I boot, even though it's not listed in the boot items. And it always shows that I have an update available ... to Microsoft Update Manager. It's a software ouroboros.
I struggled 10 years to find a SaaS product that worked, launched 20 projects (and there was no AI back then), way before the "indie hackers" movement.

Now our company is doing a few millions a year, highly profitable, no VC or external investment.

Was luck that I decided to try over and over? I might got lucky, but I persisted for so long while many others gave up. For me, making your own luck fits very well. Working hard gives you opportunities and you learn in the process so on next try, chances are better. Last projects got more and more profitable as I learned how to identify what people want.
skype for business didn't really take off as much as team now. Team spread like a cancer like nothing else before.
In Switzerland kids are expected to go to school alone from primary school, but I've seen kids to the Kindergarten alone as well (5-6 yo). It's normal.
Filtering (out) the meta categories would be nice (so you can look at just the meta categories or just the countries).

Something that I don't think is available at the source that would be a nice addition would be a per capita (looking at the population and using it as a basic sortable column for quick reference).

It's a very cool tool and resource, though.

We trained a bidirectional masked generative model on protein sequence, structure and function. ESM3 work over tokenized representations of multiple modalities and can generate proteins with high fidelity and controllability. ESM3 further improves with feedback using alignment methods similar to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) applied in LLMs.

We have prompted ESM3 to generate fluorescent proteins with a chain of thought. Among the generations that we synthesized, we found a bright fluorescent protein at far distance (58% identity) from known fluorescent proteins. Similarly distant natural fluorescent proteins are separated by over five hundred million years of evolution.

I wouldn't call it because of lock-in and more because we dropped the fiction that software is a thing that has a one-time cost and having people manage license keys is more expensive than its worth from support tickets alone. It's always been ARR it's just that the only software that was able to sell was huge amounts of units of $Software 2023/2024/2025 to smooth over the churn.

People get mad at you, the software vendor, if you don't provide indefinite support to bits-in-a-box they paid $60 for 5 years ago (or 10 years ago if it's government) or make them buy a support contract but if you just charge it as in all-in-one subscription for the same price they're suddenly happy to pay it.
I've taken to sending code snippets as regular message text with the monospaced font, because the code snippets feature is so awkward and slow (and sometimes won't load for the recipient at all).
> To start, this experiment will only be available to Nightly users, and the AI functionality will be entirely optional.

There are at least two ways of reading the scope of the initial qualifier, but, given Mozilla's fondness for trying to force certain features they like on users (cough Pocket cough Mr. Robot cough), I don't like that "the AI functionality will be entirely optional" is preceded by "to start."
There is an app on iOS called "athlytic" that is basically this.

Blown away this is possible. When I was starting to learn to code and was overwhelmed when learning all the bits and pieces of rails, I wondered if everything necessary to run a very small app could be placed in a single file. I guess this is the answer, but in python/django instead of ruby/rails. It would be a fun exercise in ruby/rails too (not totally sure if it's possible, but suspect it may be, albeit probably resulting in a larger file than the one you give above!)
LV is financially interested in preventing anything that might cheapen the luxury LV brand.

The existence of non-luxury wallets made of leather stamped with the LV logos seems to be perceived by LV as cheapening the LV brand.

> streets are dangerous.

I have a vague hypothesis that people's mind have a detector of a danger, and mind adjust sensitivity of the detector to get some specific average value of danger. The safer our streets, the more sensitive detector becomes, so the perceived level of danger remains the same.
Sanity checks are as much a message to the human reading the code, as they are a message to the compiler/runtime.

As a slightly contrived example, assert(sizeof(char) == 1) is true by definition and could be elided, but it might be a useful reminder to see it in the source, next to code that implicitly relies on this truth.

It's not really just "a bit of a seating issue", Soyuz landings are very hard and the seat liners are moulded to your body by you literally sitting in a tub of plaster. They are there to support every part of your body to prevent injury, and I very much doubt you could just use someone else's or have a "default" one do the job without a lot of pain
I don't understand that. The article says '...an existing external project that served as a proof of concept', and the DEP calls it '...an "early-access" demo to get initial feedback'.

Although it looks interesting and I'll keep an eye on it, if I needed something right now, I wouldn't use it.
Yes, almost no one gets to have it all, but if you could go back and change anything, would you?

I use Huey too. Very simple and easy to manage. From a quick look the proposed tasks system seems similar to it.
to me the most interesting part in this all is the quantization used. hardware doing LLMs is likely to be the new norm in few years anyway. with retrofitting existing hardware to use say USBs running LLM accelerators and alike...
Snap apparently has a few advantages, like supporting non-gui apps (for servers) which isn't a good fit for AppImage or Flatpak. That said, I generally stick to Docker for server apps.

I agree that the flatpak/appimage/snap options for apps, and in particular commercial apps is a decent idea. I think integration and permissions should probably move to something similar to the UX for phone apps though... it feels weird having to try to configure permissions that should be in the box.
... what does this even mean?

As a compiler--indeed, optimization--developer, one of the things that continually frustrates me about discussions on UB is that so many suggestions are based on just complete incomprehension of how compilers work. One of the first things compilers do is throw away the original source code; outside of initial front-end codegen, there is no reference to the original AST, and instead everything is based on a pseudo-assembly IR. A concept like an "entire line of code" just doesn't exist in IR; even mapping instructions back to line of codes is a difficult process because frequently they aren't even attributable to a line.
I love this song and I feel so lucky I was able to see it live at their final Japan show last spring! They come out for an encore like "we're just gonna do one more song" then play for another 20 minutes.

In the USA defendants are guaranteed the right to a speedy trial. I'm sure Sweden has similar protections. Assange denied himself that right by evading authorities and fighting extradition. The former is wholly inexcusable. The latter is his right, but to then complain about not receiving a trial places the justice system in a catch-22.

I do think it's right to accept a guilty plea and time served, but it's hardly a story of exoneration for Assange.

Learning how to design models for 3D printing now, and rounded corners are a matter of necessity as much as aesthetics. Objects with sharp corners are uncomfortable to hold, even risk of injury with some materials. They are also unhygienic and pain to clean dust out of. On the flipside, math to generate rounded corners on arbitrary shapes is messy and printing these out often requires supports and postprocessing to remove those and polish the curves with sandpaper.
My brand new OnePlus8pro was blacklisted in Japan for being under the oppo brand a couple years ago. (The system in japan works on whitelisting, its corrupt and stupid) Anyways I had a $1000 phone, and I was not about to throw it away. So I continued to use it via an American cell company, which gives me just enough internet for wikipedia. Google maps doesnt work about 70% of the time. Since then I have realized not having good internet is good for my brain. It keeps me reading gigamonkeys and downloading pdf's before I go places rather than doomscrolling twitter.
Show HN: Production grade end to end open source stack for Voice AI
we have been building an open source orchestration which enables you to plug in your own TTS/ASR/LLM for end-to-end voice conversations at -> https://github.com/bolna-ai/bolna.

Few days back, was having a discussion here in HN about the possibilities of having a complete open source stack for ASR+LLM+TTS.

Today, we are releasing a complete open sourced Dockerized stack by merging Bolna with Whisper ASR, Llama3 and Melo TTS.

From past 2 years, for 98% of the time, I use Linux (Mint-Mate edition).
I have nVidia p600 GPU and 4K monitor.
Due to some reasons, scaling does not work fine in Xfce edition, but scaling at 1x works fine in Mate edition.

Given the limitations, still I feel, using GNU/Linux is better than Windows for most use cases like surfing web, Terminals, LibreOffice, SW development etc...
Ah, that makes more sense :-)

Thanks for pointing it out!

How Random Is Random?
"Hard work wins in business (a.k.a. it ain't just about luck)"

says every 'successful' business person, company owner, shareholder, etc.

No doubt hard work is a major, or even necessary, factor; when you work hard, you create a much larger surface area for luck, and also capitalize on whatever luck does hit you.

But let's not pretend.

Many people work hard, much harder than many entrepreneurs, and still barely scrape by. There was an article here about UBI that mentioned someone working as a cook (notoriously hard work and long hours), but who was living in his car in the parking lot, unable to afford rent. What kind of system is that?

Also there's rather more motivation to work hard when you're effectively getting $1000's per hour as a company owner vs $2.75 or whatever minimum wage works out as, factoring in benefit cuts as a result of employment.

And BTW I don't think it's only 'pure' luck as most people conceive - it's about stumbling on those gaps and loopholes in the system, or that your father happens to know a guy researching an algorithm that would give your SaaS a winning edge, etc, etc, so a good part of 'luck' boils down to socioeconomic privilege.
I always imagine what his first meal is gonna be like
I went through a phase when I really enjoyed writing shell scripts like

ls *.jpg | awk '{print "resize 200x200 $1 thumbnails/$1"}' | bash

because I never got to the point where I could remember the strange punctuation that the shell requires for loops without looking up the info pages for bash whereas I've thoroughly internalized awk syntax.

Word is you should never write something like that because you'll never get the escaping right and somebody could craft inputs that would cause arbitrary code execution. I mean, they try to scare you into using xargs, but I find xargs so foreign I have to read the whole man page every time I want to do something with it.
Your reasoning is incorrect. Here is how I reason about it.

Division by zero is undefined behavior. The compiler can assume that it will not happen.

If the divisor is not zero, then the calculation has no side effects. The compiler may reorder the division above the print, because it would have no observable difference in behavior. This could be useful because division has a high latency, so it pays to start the operation as soon as the operand values are known.

If the divisor is zero, the UB says that there is no requirement on how it's compiled, so reordering the division above the print is legal.
Oh, ya, I can see this being really nice for the kitchen sink or the stand in shower. Right now, oil build up gets trapped in corners that require a brush to work out, which is tricky in the shower where it’s all calked.
> treating UB as something you'll see frequently in your career

Sure it is! I'm not talking about skills: everybody writes UB, at any time. I'm talking about attitude: when you see UB, you must strive to remove it, not to protect it!

I read about the bots back when the hack happened, but what nobody investigated was how the Affair Guarantee worked. Did they refund everybody who paid for it? Stonewall them?

The ChatGPT app lets you just take photos of everything. I take photos of labels and ask it to explain all the chemicals in my food, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Which one are the preservatives? How long do those preservatives last? What's the chemical that makes my teeth hurt when I eat ice cream? What happens if a toothpaste doesn't have that chemical?

Also lately I've been taking photos of stuff like coffee grinders and making it guess what it is. It's surprisingly very accurate and you can use it to explore the thought processes of why someone might pick a particular set.
You can also use Docker or Podman for containerized apps under Debian Stable that run libraries and versions ahead of your OS. I'm definitely a big fan of containerized apps.

I've used them occasionally to clarify the semantics of collections; I like being able to express that some collection of values is unordered and has only unique elements.
What was the deal?
I believe clang does not use data gathered from optimization for normal compilation diagnostics to avoid them being dependent on compilation flags.

GCC does, but I guess this case just a case of missed warning, possibly to suppress false positive cases.
Before you write anything, you need to think about the cost of it breaking and the chance of it breaking, and Bash scripts in VC tend to maximize both. I like that heuristic a lot.

Also, it didn't require verification, so if you wanted, you could sign up any email address for it. And they would charge to delete the account. Which they didn't do regardless.

So if you wanted to mess with someone, you could sign up their business email to Ashley Madison and have them receive regular notifications of "hot, married women in their area who are down to clown".
Are you referencing strictness analysis?
But a function blocking indefinitely while repeatedly writing to a volatile variable is well-defined.
So the compiler cannot remove a function call followed by UB unless it knows that the function won't do that.

In theory, the compiler could know that since `printf` is a well-known standard function.
In practice, `printf` might even exit the program via SIGPIPE, so I don't think any compiler will assume that it definitely will return.
I never understood how Microsoft giving you software you are not forced to use is bad, but apple limiting which software you can run on your device is not.

The answer is that aw jones was the first to use the long short hedging strategy. That is why his fund is called a hedge fund and is considered the first of its kind. Others have used shorting before but he was the first to use the strategy of specifically entering a short position to protect a different long position. Well, he was the first one to officially theorize it and market it, at least. That is why when carol loomis described his fund, she coined the word hedge fund.
> And of course there's also the issue that the UK is very likely to get a new government that would have likely been leaning to just letting the man go in any case. At least the current Labour leader strikes me as a decent man with some actual principles and backbone and this would fundamentally be a decent thing to do.

If you knew anything about British politics you'd know that this is horseshit.
While greed is surely some of the answer, I’d imagine liability also plays a part. If your device fails to save someone, you could be a target for litigation.
> will probably live to see you completely lose your global hegemony and your fantasies of power become nothing more than embarrassing, self-castrating nostalgia

And then you'll enjoy more experiences of aggressively-expansionist governments, Houthi-like groups, and the equivalent of Haitian gangs and Sudanese militias, all over the world, fighting to advance their leaders' own narrow parochial desires wherever they think they can get away with it. They'll be using WhatsApp, Starlink, and cheap drones in their efforts, and enlisting like-minded allies.

You'll find yourself looking back wistfully on the days of the Pax Americana, which for nearly 80 years has maintained a flawed but workable rules-based international order. That's even granting that the U.S. has done some bad things — on occasion, very bad things — in furtherance of its own perceived interests and those of some of its powerful interest groups.
Ants and weeds and viruses are hard workers too and they can wreck the entire environment following 24x7 whatever dumb ass simple rules they are capable of coming up with.

Great! Compilers do not, yet, edit the source code to remove no-op or unreachable lines.
There is very strong bias in clang not to emit any diagnostics once you get to the middle-end optimizations, partially because the diagnostics are now based on whims of heuristics, and partially because the diagnostics now become hard to attribute to source code (as the IR often has a loose correlation to the original source code). Indeed, once you start getting inlining and partial specialization, even figuring out if it is worth emitting a diagnostic is painfully difficult.
Yeah, if this article wanted to be remotely even-handed, examples are plentiful. How many times has the Laffer Curve been trotted out to claim that reducing taxes on rich people will increase receipts, only for it to not happen that way? Or social cuts rationalized for the purpose of balancing the books, only for the savings to be spent on reducing taxes for rich people, leaving the books unbalanced? The purpose of a system is what it does.

Of course, the article didn't want to be even handed. Its primary intent wasn't really to explore POSWID as a general concept that applies nearly everywhere in politics. Its purpose is what it did.
