>The fertility rate (amount of kids per woman) dropped, so no.

Of course it did, since tens of millions men still died and tons were left with severe impairements. It's not about it remaining stable or raising after the most horrible war casualties in history it's about it not dropping as much. It's about it being elevated to where it would be if what we describe wasn't the case.

"The magnitude of the effect on completed fertility is relatively small in light of the scale of male losses, perhaps due to the pronatalist policy that promoted out of wedlock births"

>Nonmarital births does not mean that men were getting multiple different women pregnant at the same time.

Who said anything about "same time"? Men had more choice and thus more affairs/women and reduced being tied to marriage. This translates to more women pregnant by fewer men over the previous period - doesn't mean men got 2-3 women pregnant at a time.

In any case, I think this is more of a "hands on the ears" mode, than a discussion mode, so I'll stop here.
At that point you might as well run Ceph and give your diskless workstations a writable block device via RBD. The overhead of an S3 operation per file is quite high.
Great resource, curious if this comes from your own experiences? Also is this intended to help land a job as an AI engineer or is it more for personal projects?

I've read something by Michael Gayed that the Yen crisis could spark a credit event through the reverse carry trade, and that it could trigger a global margin call. Interesting times.
This is a great implementation by your team + contributors. Simple but effective. And nice to see you’ve kept it open source instead of some other Show HN submissions where they take open source work, make is closed, change a few things, and claim they’ve created something great.

Im curious to see if you continue building out some other features. While these are great features (copilot, chat, etc), I’d think most users would expect their IDE to have it out of the box (or with an extension) these days

If you haven't yet, pay for the upgrade to use Projects. I've uploaded entire codebases, then opened different conversations about that codebase, generating very useful artifacts.

Also, Claude artifacts can display MermaidJS. You can give it a whole codebase and ask something like "generate a sequence diagram of this process" and it does a remarkable job of doing so, displaying results in realtime.
I don't find hitting Ctrl-R or F5 to be much of a hinderance for iteration. Especially when you don't have to worry whether the system has been left to some incorrect state by HMR.
There is a very good reason: efficiency. Do you want to have servers carry an extra megabyte of otherwise-useless key material for each incoming connection? What about the extra ~100-1000 microseconds of CPU time for each key exchange?

Now multiply that by 100,000 live connections and 10,000 per second, and you'll see that there's a big problem here.

A lot of cryptography arguments forget that people don't place unlimited value on cryptography (or even security in a general sense). These algorithms are costly, and if they do nothing, should not be used.
They could pretend to surrender (ethically speaking, surrender can never be a valid contract because it's always performed under threat of violence, so feigned surrender is always a valid military tactic), pretend to integrate into society, and then continue fighting as guerillas.

Animate ChatGPT and Other AIs
Pretty positive, much better than my experience with OpenAI's models. The killer feature for me is their prompt generator[1], which you can use to create system prompts or improve user prompts. As I said in another thread, the generator is tuned to generate prompts better suitable for Claude, which improves responses.

You can see examples of the prompts it generates in the repository linked below, including a customized version of their prompt generator[2]. This feature significantly improved my experience with LLMs in general, both Claude and local ones, and I now use Claude 3.5 Sonnet for pretty much all my coding, mostly in Go and, lately, Rust.

I mostly use it to improve existing code or to get started, not to generate entire code bases, so I can't say much about that.

I found it lacking in shell scripting though. Nine out of ten times I need to fix the shell script it generates, to a point where I just gave up trying and went back to writing them from scratch.

Can't wait to see how much better Claude 3.5 Opus is, though.

I don’t think that this is a war that employers can win. Employees got a taste of freedom, and it’s hard to go back.
Depends on the PCIe/DMA topology of the system, but in short, in an ideal system you can avoid the bottleneck of the CPU interconnect (eg, AMD's Infinity Fabric) and reduce overall CPU load by (un)loading data directly from your NVMe storage to your PCIe accelerator [0]. You can also combine this with RDMA/RoCE (provided everything in the chain supports it) to make a clustered network with NVMeoF to serve data from a high speed NVMe flash array(s) to clusters of GPU's; even potentially using this to reduce cost/space/power by reducing the nead for high cost/high power CPU's. Prior to CXL's proliferation (which realistically we haven't achieved yet), this is mostly limited to bespoke HPC systems; most consumer systems lack the PCIe lanes/topology to really make use of this in a practical way.

On the consumer side, you're right, using the System ram is probably a better approach as most consumer motherboards would have the NVMe storage routing up to the CPU Interconnect then back "Down" to the GPU (or worse through the "southbridge" chipset(s) like on X570) so you take that hit anyway.

However if you have a PCIe switch on board that allows data to flow direct from storage to GPU without a round trip across the CPU, then NVMe/CXL/SCM modules would theoretically be better than system RAM. Depends on the switch, retimers, muxing, topology etc.

Regardless of what you're using for direct storage and how ideal your topology is, the MTps and GBps over PCIe is significantly slower than onboard VRAM (be it GDDR or especially HBM) and bandwidth limited to boot. Doesn't mean it's useless by any means, but important to point out that this doesn't turn a 20GB VRAM card into a 2.02TB VRAM card just because you DirectStorage'd a 2TB Drive to it, no matter how ideal the setup is. However, as PCIe increases in bandwidth and Storage-Class-Memory type devices and just storage tech in general continues to improve, it's rapidly becoming more viable. On PCIe gen 3, you're probably shooting yourself in the foot. on PCIe Gen 6, you can realistically see a very real benefit. But again, there's a lot of "depends" here and for now, you're probably better off buying a bigger or multiple GPUs if you're not on the cutting edge with the corporate credit line.

In my opinion, plain text wins for everything, very portable and people can read with very little knowledge.

They're both great for small, highly-focused features.

But when you have complex code or a very long module, yes, Claude 3.5 performs a lot better.

ChatGPT is much more likely to miss small, but important details that can break the code in unexpected ways. And even when you point out the error to ChatGPT, it will double down on being confident in its solution and output exactly the same code again.

I've got to think Claude 3.5 had much better training data and training methodologies for code because it's much "smarter" at being logical and fitting pieces together into one coherent whole. For any random task, I'd trust Claude at coding 20-30% more than ChatGPT.
Conveniently for you, that graph doesn't include 2024, when prices have collapsed very rapidly.

The Linux Kernel Matures to Having a Minimum Rust Toolchain Version
While public health officials may face criminal charges, Nature magazine editors and the team of researchers that were contacted by the Chinese government and lied walked away with nothing close to extremely negative consequences. I didn't claim public health officials can fraud without consequence, I said researchers can. I can't find one instance of misleading science for political purposes lead to academic consequences for fraudulent researchers. There were researchers arrested for connections with Chinese Military by the US government but if it were up to Harvard I speculate nothing would be done, because it never has been done, as far as I know and looked at.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-...

I also didn't claim Journalists and Intelligence Agencies are bearers of truth but it stands that to study something like Lab Leak or Havana Syndrome is a question in the realm of investigation, not science. No?

Peter is risking criminal consequences based on evidence gathered by investigation, not the scientific process. Also not because of purposefully misleading research but dangerous research and lies while testifying, which isn't fraudulent science.
I have really been enjoying using it. It seems very good at handling simple but time consuming problems although I find longer chats it seems to forget about the previous code and gets muddled. I am using it in Zed and also with a Claude account as I find I can hit the daily limit when using it for a few hours.

I only checked HN as I started getting service unavailable error pages in the middle of it helping me rewrite some code.

Only really tried it with embedded C and Next.js stuff and it can make a few unsafe mistakes but when I need a helper function it is much quicker than me finding one myself.

The definitions of the "BB" function don't all appear to be the same. The article referenced in this overall discussion says BB(2) = 6. In the notation of the Wikipedia article you reference, this would be S(2) = 6; S is the number of steps. What has now been proved is that S(5) = 47,176,870.

However, your BB values for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 match the Wikipedia article's notation for Sigma; Sigma is the number of 1s written on the tape at halting. In that notation, what has now been proved is Sigma(5) = 4098.

The greatest failing GIMP had (and still does) is that has almost nothing in common with Photoshop UI-wise - or numerous other photo editing tools. I've used them all my life and every time I open GIMP, I can't seem to do anything.

In your scenario, what is it about me not being physically present in person, that would constitute a distraction? Please cite sources/data for any claims you make.

edit: Also, if the answer is that the company is just not prepared with the infrastructure & culture needed to support fully-remote developers, they are closing themselves off to approximately 40% of the available talent pool, not to mention a disproportionate number of minorities and women[0]. This should constitute an emergency that must be corrected immediately in the mind of any competent CTO or engineering leader.

Yeah I hate that, but at first glance it didn't seem to be a huge problem in TdP compared to most other national parks around the world I have been to. Most people I encountered seemed quite responsible. Chile is overall a very well-educated country though, and TdP takes significant effort to get to compared to so it is perhaps a natural filter.
That certainly wasn't the intention. Was there really a need to turn this into a personal swipe? This is a common outcome many smart and talented developers have historically come to regret. You can find their stories all over the web, including right here on HN. I didn't want to see the same thing happen here, is all.
Nothing ever impacts the rate of radioactive decay. That's basic school physics.

This isn't radioactive products of the explosion itself (that is, gamma quants and beta particles produced by decay of fission products). They probably had no impact at all on any of the satellites (prompt radiation - neutrons produced in fission reaction itself - of course could and probably had some impact - but it lasts milliseconds to seconds).

What they are speaking is impact on Earth natural radiation belts with the electrons produced in the explosion. Electrons of course, do not decay at all. After that it was due to natural processes in the Earth's magnetic field to return things back to normal. This is a geophysical process that has nothing to do with the radioactive decay of any of the fission products produced.

It was first. It was also relatively simple in both law and fact, so there were fewer opportunities for delay. Even so, it was more than a year from indictment to conviction.

The idea of local culture is as uninformed as it was at the start of the war. As a result we will make the same mistake again.

Show HN: Search Bar for YouTube Transcripts
Hi HN!

Using Ctrl+F on YouTube Transcripts doesn't have the best UI/UX, so I built a chrome extension to inject a input search box that filters for any queries.

YouTube actually has this feature for a few videos (ex: https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHbLRjF0vo) for years now. I'm not sure why they haven't rolled it out for all videos. I didn't want to wait.

The extension will only inject it's own search box if the video does not already have one on YouTube. I tried styling it to look similar to YouTube's design.

Indexing and querying rules follow the newest Lunr.js rules.
Until one needs to step out of a pure Go or pure Rust experience, and then it is a quite interesting build.rs file, Makefiles or shell scripts.
I am properly blown away by it. I've been using it for some pretty non-trivial coding, like shaders and game-related algorithms, and it's truly amazing. It's very good at breaking things down, explaining concepts (different approaches with pros and cons, for example), and quickly fixing errors with just one or two more prompts.

The way you can upload files to give context to your requests is amazing. Overall, the Claude experience is much better than anything else I've seen so far. I've tried talking to my colleagues about it, but the reception has been cold. I'm surprised to see developers being so uninterested in such an exciting tool.

The only annoying thing is that the UI gets laggy with a long history, even with a powerful machine. I have to bundle everything up and start a new chat, which is easy to do, at least. I also wish there were a better way to "branch" a chat, meaning trying two different approaches from a specific prompt and possibly going back in time.

Show HN: JustDeploy – The Easiest Way to Deploy Docker Apps on Your Own Server
Hi HN,

I'm Clément, a full-stack developer, and I'm excited to share with you my open-source project, JustDeploy. I've poured a lot of time and passion into creating what I believe is the simplest and most user-friendly solution for deploying Docker applications on your own server.

Why JustDeploy?

Deploying apps should be easy, but existing solutions often add complexity or cost. JustDeploy simplifies the process by allowing you to connect to your server using just an IP address and handle everything from server connection to Docker installation and secure certificate generation.

Key Features:

Easy Server Connection: Connect to your server with just an IP address.
Streamlined UX: We've significantly improved the user experience based on community feedback.
No Unnecessary Installations: JustDeploy installs only your application, making it perfect for small servers with limited resources.

Why It’s the Simplest Solution:

- No Hassle Setup: The setup process is straightforward, making it accessible even for those who are not server-savvy.
- Full Control: Unlike managed solutions, JustDeploy gives you complete control over your server and deployments.
- Community-Driven: Feedback and feature requests are highly encouraged. I aim to build this tool with the community's needs in mind.

Try It Out and Share Your Thoughts:

I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions. You can check out the project and demo video on our landing page. If you encounter any issues or have ideas for new features, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you find JustDeploy as useful as I do!

I haven’t been blown away by its coding as compared to 4o. It feels similar. I use it via the chat interface and copy/paste. I’d prefer to use it directly in IntelliJ but haven’t found a plugin that doesn’t get in my way to the point of being too distracting.

The part of the Claude UI that writes code in a sidebar next to the chat is much better than writing code inline like ChatGPT.
Easy where there is a lot of mountains (japan, Austria, France), harder in flat countries.

Interesting part of the article on electrolysis to use the lighter than air H2 instead of pumping water up. Smells a lot like over-engineering but seems fun !
We will see. The EU is more employee-friendly than the US of course, but so far US corps are winning the war there.
My old employer did in Czechia - 2 day hybrid or move to Romania, Poland, or India.

Foreign Tech Companies get tax holidays from the Czech, Romanian, Polish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, etc governments if we invest $2-5mil in an office AND can prove that we have at least 15-20 employees working in that office, so we need to force employees in the office otherwise there's no point having a presence there.

The Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian workers are much less pushy about it as well.

Greece is indeed not remote friendly. All companies went back to the office or hybrid. But that’s why top talent is working remotely abroad, traffic is crazy, etc.
That's an interesting take and I have thought about local-first a lot too. There are tradeoffs, the core cons I find are:
- complex code, complex architecture vs traditional web apps
- hard(er) to update app versions across users

The core selling point (hiding latency) is big I think. But, if you self-host, the user/business can put their server very close and reduce latency to unnoticeable levels.

I think local-first is cool, really cool and makes beautiful apps. But I think it's only worth it for a small subset of software, far smaller then self-hosted.
