Bruinen is working on infrastructure technology for edge environments - we're starting with the database. Our database, Delta, is local-first and distributed. Each device (AV, robot, drone, sensor) can continue working without connectivity, and merge it's changes (conflict free) whenever it comes back online.

We target use-cases in the harshest environments - where connectivity is expected to drop: battlefields, at sea, in the air, and in the wilderness.

We're written completely in rust (though its not a requirement for this position, come learn!).

>> Are you claiming she's actually promoting jihadism by opposing it?

> no, i'm claiming she's promoting herself by promoting jihadism

You're being really unclear, and the straightforward meaning of what you wrote is certainly untrue.

From what I know about Marine Le Pen, she's almost certainly not "promoting jihadism" (say, as in encouraging people to join ISIS), which is the most straightforward reading.

I think you probably mean she's "promoting jihadism [as a problem]," but that's boringly typical thing for politicians to do. They pretty much always promote themselves as the solution to some problem (that they often also elevate), so people choose to vote for them to solve it. The opposite is also frequently true, where other politicians attempt to play down their opponents' chosen issues in order to promote their own.
Super cool. Tap into the human hive brain in real time. thank you!
> Ladybird is currently in heavy development. We are targeting a first Alpha release for early adopters in 2026.

It kinda sucks that it takes this long for an alpha release (I know that browsers are extremely complex). On the other hand, it also seems like this is quite quick for an alpha release of a browser that does not use code from any other browser before it. I can’t wait for 2026.

In a way, this reminds me of the early days of Phoenix (which is now Firefox).
Cheer-reader a cheerio port of readability.js
This library is a port of the readability.js library that uses cheerio instead of native DOM APIs. The goal for this library was to avoid using JSDOM which is pretty slow and a memory hog.
Majority of the high quality libraries are written in either C++ or a mix of C/C++. Leaving all that behind for a new language is a hard decision to make. Especially when they specifically left SerenityOS to focus on actually being a browser that is not a toy.

Choosing a new language, even if it is something as well established as rust means going on a decades long yak shaving journey where they have to implement a lot of libraries that they would get for free if they chose c++.

C++, for all its crimes against humanity, works. And it works very well.
I wonder what successor language they are thinking of.
Outside of advertising, are their legitimate reasons to sell or trade customer information to a vendor that does not directly support the operation of your business (i.e. subcontracting work that may require customer details). In the US HIPAA is the closest thing we have, but it would be nice to have a blanket law that says data between two parties cannot be shared with a third party, full stop, regardless of consent. I think having a straight forward transactional pay or you get nothing model levels the field in a way that back door deals with data brokers could ever match.

This paper is a really good treatment of the space from my perspective.

I think the greatest power in the relational model comes from its ability to directly represent cyclical dependencies without forcing weird workarounds. Many real-world domains have ambiguities regarding which types should be strict dependents of another. This confounds approaches relying on serialization. As mentioned in the paper, many major providers offer extensions to SQL which allow you to iterate through the graph implied by these relations with a single logical command.

> The impact of AI/ML on DBMSs will be significant

I agree with this but not in the way the authors may have intended. I think the impact will be mostly negative. The amount of energy being spent on blackbox query generator approaches could be better spent elsewhere. You can get extremely close, but this often doesn't matter.

> about my ability to speak for 10 minutes about something without notes.

I'm not sure how common this sentiment is, but I would feel extraordinarily uncomfortable -to the point of feeling a bit like a fraud - if I were to speak about something continuously for 10 minutes (at a high degree of entropy, rather than just taking glancing stabs at the same observation from multiple angles) _unless_ I could do it without notes. If I could not do so I don't think I would even attempt to participate in a conversation on that subject, feeling as though I had nothing useful to contribute to the conversation.
>So people are not bothered with rich people's dog shit?

People can't afford to be bothered by rich people's dog shit (which is as bad as people shit, for all intents and purposes), because that would involve passing laws to fine rich people above the "cost of doing business" line and/or taking them to court, both of which are quite expensive ventures.

>Gentrification is not rich people camping on the streets and parks, look it up.

If you don't have the imagination to understand how gentrification could be considered the rich-person equivalent of camping in public places, in that both corrupt existing urban streetscapes to the best of their respective financial abilities, there might not be any reason to continue this conversation.

>You completely lost me.

That much is clear. You seem to be trying really hard to avoid understanding the fairly basic and simple notion that equality under the law is unequal when the laws themselves are. The moral virtue of subjecting everyone to the same standards is undermined by those standards being shaped to punish the likely (immoral) behavior of one group while ignoring the likely (immoral) behavior of another. The only way around this is assuming that rich people just don't do immoral things, which beggars the question; rich people use their money to cast their immoral behavior as moral (or at least amoral). So you end up with this argument, where I say, "Here are the bad things rich people do that are analogous to bad things that poor people do," and you respond, confused, "But those things rich people do aren't all that bad." They'd gotten to you before you'd even known it.
Attacking public broadcasters is a pretty standard playbook of the far-right and even Conservatives - the latter in Germany for example killed off fibre buildout under Kohl in favor of cable TV/radio because they wanted private broadcasters as competition against a "too left" public TV [1]. The consequences of that decision haunt us to this day, with many households still getting internet access via decades-old twisted pair phone lines.

TFA is a decent first cut. It may be inefficient (the author already mentioned and discarded a N^2 approach), but it’s easily understandable. The author also mentioned that he was planning a NumPy version, so maybe some of the topics you addressed will be covered.

If anybody asks you to work on IBM i or AS400 turn and run.

The system is cool. But the majority of jobs are underpaid in comparison to the open source stacks. And they wonder why there is a lack of new blood.

There are many articles out there claiming COBOL/Mainframe/AS400/“ancient” programmers are retiring and the orgs want to pay you big bucks to replace them. For the most part they are just parlor tricks to try and get a cost savings on new grads.

I think it means they can’t monetize by tracking and selling targeted ad space (i.e. their business model). I think that’s reasonable, personally. They can sell ads like traditional media or they can charge for their service.
>I test the linux machines are dev machines just used for compiling/testing and basically have shared passwords, or they're servers for webapps or something else where normal users most who have a windows machine won't have a shell account.

And you don't actually pentest the software which those users on the windows machine are using on the Linux systems? So you find a Jenkins server which can be used to execute Groovy scripts to execute arbitrary commands, the firewall doesn't allow connections through port 22, and it's just a "well, I got access, nothing more to see!"?
> And WinUI3 has also already been completely abandoned.

I'm not sure where you got that impression, but WinUI3 is in almost all of Microsoft's software at this point. Admittedly a huge amount of it is embedded inside React Native, but WinUI3 seems to be the UI toolkit that has won and is still going strong. They announced a bunch of WinUI3 enhancements at BUILD even.

(One such announcement is a coming standard control for the sort of custom Windows Title Bar with a search box and branded logo and extra buttons that has become common in every first-party application from the Microsoft Store app to all of Office and many other places.)

> Contrary to this article, it still doesn't even have a visual designer.

Huh? Visual Studio has a visual designer for the WinUI 3 flavor of XAML. If you don't want to write XAML to back your UI they probably will never support a Visual Designer for you (ie, C# UI seems neat and maybe a bit more "functional programming", but I'd rather use XAML just to have the Visual Designer at least). Last I checked the XAML designer works just fine even in C++ projects targeting WinUI 3.
AO Labs | Building an alternative to backpropagation | https://www.aolabs.ai/ | Berkeley, CA + remote

AI systems struggle with edge cases and understanding local context despite increasing model sizes. From our research at UC Berkeley into the evolution of intelligence from simple organisms, we’ve discovered the missing link is continuous learning (deep learning is pre-trained by design). Models built with our framework learn through customizable parameters similar to animal instincts, allowing for AI grounded with built-in memory and reasoning. We're a community of 160+ developers and researchers building general intelligence from the bottom-up from places like Berkeley, NYU, Imperial College, and Google.

We're building way outside of the current paradigm and we're looking for collaborators at all levels --hackers, contributors, the curious-- as we'll be making our first hires soon. Email with "HN Hiring" in subject line to: ali at aolabs.ai or chat with us in our discord: https://discord.gg/Zg9bHPYss5

Palmer Luckey: Millennial slayer of U.S. defense giants
Interesting article, but I wish they would give some numbers. I couldn't find good sources, but it sounds like the total volume of Liberian imports peaked at less than 0.1% of total coffee imports. So the Liberian coffee was an interesting footnote but not important for the actual supply of coffee.
No, it's a lawn tractor.

I don't think the "small tractor" category has good electric options at the moment. Solectrac made inroads, but are now basically dead:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTDxMZfj6yk

The issue with Solectrac I see are twofold:

1. Non hot-swappable batteries. Means you have to stop work to recharge, instead of charging and working in parallel and swapping batteries (like you can do on the T6)

2. Hydrostatic transmission for appendages. I understand why they did this - to leverage existing engineering on front loaders, etc. But if you're designing an electric tractor from scratch if would make more sense to have brushless motors right around the connection to the appendage (or even in the appendage and simply connecting wiring when you switch the tool).

Overall I think lawn tractors are there for electric, but not for the one step bigger there (small excavators, small tractors, etc.)

so why did the court even accept to hear the case? I thought there were other mechanisms to tell the case it had no standing before the court.

yes, it will probably take years to get a case with actual standing, but you know there are people itching to offend a state's law specifically to take bring it before SCOTUS. this one was just a bit premature.
But WAL is not for durability, but for atomicity and consistency. And yes, you need to use fsync to ensure durability.
It's not only the batteries, but charging circuits are getting much smarter about increasing the longevity of batteries, we also have eco cores that limit current draw for common tasks. All tech is getting better. The only thing that's concerning is if there's an increase demand for power running ML on device.

There's less difference between theory and practice in theory, than there is in practice.

How often did the confusion happen, or happens today when interpreting cuneiform? I imagine that confusion didn't matter much to the Babylonians, just like the "Year 1900" problem didn't exist in 1900. People could just take care of the confusion. But Ea-Nasir is long dead, so we can't go ask if he sent the 9 more copper ingots Nanni that paid for.
> The real FUTO model is that a billionaire is funding the dev though... They are likely not making bank with the "pay what you want" model.

That's fair, but Ladybird can emulate that through the sponsors of its non-profit foundation. So it can be partially funded through shareware-like stuff and mostly funded through sponsors keeping it funded. Maybe I'm just crazy here, though. I really don't know what would make a viable funding model.

A funding model that I really think would be great and I wish people would use more is only providing source code and the tools and documentation needed to modify it and build it yourself for free and charging money for access to pre-built or packaged binaries. I judt don't tend to go around suggesting it because I feel like a lot of people would be pretty resentful of this with our current culture around software, even though I think it's probably the best model in our ideal world.
Very loosely, isn’t this what is happening inside most LLMs that have a “multi-head” mechanism?
Oh good spot. I'd misread the repo name as lua-common, I guess my brain "autocorrected" it. The way the article was written, I didn't at all get the impression that it was his code, just that he discovered it and tried hacking it out:

> This bit of code wasn't in the TLS implementation, and as the comment says, it “shouldn't” hurt the TCP path, but hey, it was only needed for local (or Unix) domain sockets to begin with, so let me try removing that bit of code and run a test.

But yeah, if it's his own project, it's far easier to keep track of and watch out for any bug reports that might result from this change.

I'm a platform engineer with expertise in AI inference systems (stateless and RAG based), particularly the MLOps side of things. I've scaled GPU clusters to tens of thousands of requests per second in a k8s environment. At my first company I built an LLM API before OpenAI had even made the first commit to their API. I've been working with Django and FastAPI for a few years now and have a lot of experience working with them.

I have some experience in management through mentoring a high school robotics team for a few years and the previously mentioned companies.

As a sort of "showcase" for some of my technical skills, I recently built and open sourced an all-in-one batteries included AI deployment repository: https://github.com/Mockapapella/batteries-included-ai-deploy...

If you're looking to get a high performance AI API up and running quickly, I'm your guy.

IMO, every media player since Winamp 2.x has been largely a step _backwards_ in pretty much every metric one could put forth. It was light-weight, using minimal CPU & RAM. It was skinable. It was reliable. It had great plugin support. I don't recall it leaking memory, either. I basically had it set to auto run on login on my PC. I never closed it. Didn't need to. I had _only_ 32MB of RAM on that computer.
I'm glad you found it valuable! Both are good questions and I haven't gone far enough mapping the code to Elman's architecture to know the answer to the second.

For your first question, using three hidden layers makes it a little clearer what the network does. Each layer performs one step of the calculation. The first layer collects what is known from the current token and what we knew after the calculation for the previous token. The second layer decides whether the current token looks like program code, by checking if it satisfies the decision rule. The third layer compares the decision with what we decided for previous tokens.

I think that this could be compressed into a single hidden layer, too. A ReLU should be good enough at capturing non-linearities so this should work.

This is one of the best games I have played in recent years (I love a walking simulator). The voice acting is wonderful.
Yes, I think that's at least one thing that the FUTO model shows, which is that there is actually a substantial proportion of people willing to pay for goods software that respects them as users. Whether that's enough to break even with development costs is another question though, but I certainly hope that would be the case.
If a company provides a service for free to enable selling something else, and that something else becomes illegal to sell, then it’s up to the company whether they want to keep offering the free service. They can’t continue doing things that are now illegal just because that’s how they made money in the past. No decision-making power has been taken away.

You can use dynamic_cast instead of reinterpret_cast. If the pointer isn't correct it would return null. A better solution is to subclass the widget, store a function pointer for the callback which takes the same class instead of an Fl_Widget, and call that in the callback:
https://github.com/MoAlyousef/FLMH
This uses a std::function for the captures but you can use a function pointer as well.
