"The gains are aggregating towards Chips, Clouds and Entrepreneurs. "

Are the gains aggregating to entrepreneurs? It seems like every just a matter of time before the function of the big models overtakes any entrepreneurial idea other than hardware and the models themselves.

Reminds me of the sound racer v8[0]. This gismo was a lot more fun that people gave it credit for -- it read the rpm from the 12v signal in the power and modulated a v8 over fm. Had a blast in my little four cylinder sounding like a beefy v8!

I found even full compartments to be preferable to airline-style seating for various reasons, such as being able to walk around in the "hallway" without bothering other passengers. But also, at least back in the day, you had a fairly good chance of getting a non-full compartment. On a long-distance route you even would find yourself in a compartment with someone interesting and if both of you were up for it, you'd have some time to get to know each other. I'm too old for such things by now, but travelling around on compartment trains as a college student was quite a nice experience. It's disappointing if it's not around any more.

Edit: Meh, semi-dup post, the earlier one took a while to show up so I thought it had been lost.
> There is no way that you could make a BK clone by telneting to a BK and running commands. Those commands don't tell you the network protocol

The network protocol, according to multiple sources and the presented talk at LCA, was "send text to the port that's visible in the URL, get text back". The data received was SCCS, which was an understood format with existing tools. And the tool Tridge wrote, sourcepuller, didn't clone all of BitKeeper, it cloned enough to fetch sources, which meant "connect, send command, get back SCCS".

Anything more than that is hearsay that's entirely inconsistent with the demonstrated evidence. Do you have any references supporting either that the protocol was more complicated than he demonstrated on stage at LCA, or that Tridge committed the network surveillance you're claiming?

And to be clear, beyond that, there's absolutely nothing immoral with more extensively reverse-engineering a proprietary tool to write a compatible Open Source equivalent. (If, as you claim, he also logged a friend's network traffic without their express knowledge and consent, that is problematic, but again, the necessity of doing that seems completely inconsistent with the evidence from many sources. If that did happen, I would be mildly disappointed in that alone, but would still appreciate the net resulting contribution to the world.)

I appreciate that you were incensed by Tridge's work at the time, and may well still be now, but that doesn't make it wrong. Those of us who don't use proprietary software appreciate the net increase in available capabilities, just like we appreciate the ability to interoperate with SMB using Samba no matter how inconvenient that was for Microsoft.
ELI5, why are GPUs not a commodity piece of hardware that any sophisticated chip manufacturer can't also produce?

This is one of the first time in the tech industry where the value was fully reaped by the hardware itself and not by the differentiated software that ran on top of it

AWS wins $2B contract for Australian military top secret region build
The classical synthesis approaches seem to have much more emphasis on correctness and specification than modern LLM-based synthesis though — things like deriving provably correct lock-free data structures.

The LLM-based synthesis work I've seen, in contrast, maybe uses a set of unit tests for correctness testing.

It doesn't feel like modern LLM-based synthesis supplants the classical approaches.
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (for PC) was the same way. Rocking soundtrack. Beautiful game, provided you had a Voodoo 2.
General rule of thumb in the US is that either the device or the person has to have a license to transmit and most of the Chinese radios are not licensed. Another easy check is that most of the specs for radio based licenses require that the antenna be permanently attached at least for hand terminals.
It's clear that my original statement referred to editors of source code. You then moved the goal posts to "merge diff" views on a website.

Despite that, I explained this didn't make sense, diffs being line-based and not block-based and all that.

That's two fundamental problems with your line of argument. This is my last reply.
That rigid body engine sim is, without a doubt, one of the coolest software projects I’ve seen in my entire life. If only we could get sim racers to adopt this tech.
Thank you, I appreciate your followup and edit. Copyright assignment agreements are worse than CLAs, but I'm not claiming that the Google CLA includes a copyright assignment.

It matters less for something like the Apache license than it does for a copyleft license, but there are still reasons people use Apache rather than MIT or public domain, and it does include several protections people care about.

Re your edit:

> AFAIK, the main purpose of the Google Individual CLA is to have you sign a statement claiming that you own the rights to your own work and didn't give up those rights to your employer.

The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO, what you're signing if you use a "Signed-off-by: Your Name <email@example.org>" line) serves this same purpose, isn't a CLA, and doesn't cause any of the same problems. Legal departments generally don't have concerns with developers signing a DCO, while many will rightfully prevent or restrict signing a CLA (even when they were otherwise fine with a developer contributing to Open Source in general).
Yes! I've already written NHTSA and US DOT about getting these synthetic noises banned. The more people who do the same, the more likely it'll get noticed.

I have a different advice for aspiring mathematicians. Learn in the way you want. If you enjoy learning the prerequisites or feel like you need to, by all means learn it carefully. There are enough mathematicians on either side of this advice and indeed of most advice. Don't take other people's opinions too seriously. Other people only know what worked or didn't for themselves, they have no idea what will work for you.

> If you’re designing a universal port, you will be expected to provide power. This was a lesson learned in the times of LPT and COM ports, where factory-made peripherals and DIY boards alike had to pull peculiar tricks to get a few milliamps, often tapping data lines. Do it wrong, and a port will burn up – in the best case, it’ll be your port, in worst case, ports of a number of your customers.

I'd never thought about this. Way back then, mice connected via the serial port. It seems like they got their power from the RTS or CTS pin. And that pin isn't 0V/5V, it uses negative and positive voltages, -5V/5V on the low end, more likely -12V/12V according to stuff floating around on the internets. Seems complex. Might research this properly later.
they are very small, very advanced, and production yields are poor. The equipment is also stupidly expensive and takes reams of smart people just to run.

The cell providers actually do erase this data. I tried to subpoena it for a murder suspect to help show he wasn't at the scene, but he left it too late, and Verizon said that they delete their data after 5 years. I don't know the timescales of the other networks.

Not to say that the NSA don't have it all backed up -- I'm sure they do -- but for warrant (i.e. legal process purposes) it probably has a shorter timespan than the Timeline data stuck on Google's infra.

> This seems a little bit funny given how anarchic Jesus was

Jesus was actually pretty hierarchical. There were the masses, then the 72, then the 12, then Peter, James, and John, and then Peter.

In the capable of the talents, he has the talent taken away from the guy with 1 talent and given to the guy with 10.

Yes, you are to use your place in the hierarchy to serve those below you, but there is a hierarchy.
My dad used AI to generate artwork with pictures hung up across the house.

He's intersted in meditation and mindfulness. He's not a native English speaker, so he's using AI to help him write content. He's then using AI text to voice to turn his scripts into YouTube videos. The videos have AI generated artwork too.

just tried it and its not that great

many many ppl are complaining that they have to spend quite a bit of credit to get the desired effect

so likely this is just another "pay-to-fine-tune" not unlike "pay-to-play" schemes in online games--the hook is to get you in to buy credits which you will use to chase the desired quality.

besides there are local TTS models now that rivals Elevenlabs. Their pricing is ridiculous $200/1M is way too expensive.
I'm dismayed that no one so far has brought up a point that's begging to be made in these sorts of things.

While the point of the article has _some_ merit, there's also another equally valid contrary argument to be made.

Just because a book - however storied & fabled - exists out there, does not mean that you should strive to find some meaning, import or significant cogitable thought when one is not clearly and immediately present.

There's a whole industry of writers that exist to exclusively furnish meaning to the lofty thoughts of some distinguished authors, that that was simply never meant or not present in the authors own words. Sometimes the authors themselves invite and regale in this kind of festive chicanery. Sometimes not. But this sort of thing - far more than useful or warranted - does exist.

In other words some works of writing often fiction but not necessarily are just elaborate exercises in getting away with balderdash.

It pays to remember the enterprise of getting published in the past has not always been equitable as is the case today.

A virtual nobody off the street couldn't expect to even get his manuscript read by a publishing house, much less get published even for a limited run. So if you were already reputed or privileged or had the blessings of a wealthy house of patrons who bankrolled your previous works, you were more widely published and translated.

In other words far too many mediocre works of the past still get top billing, than they rightly deserve largely because no one called out their bullshit.

Yes, sometimes if you don't understand the author that is because the author never had the intentions of being understood in the first place or did not have much to say of value or import, however fleeting or ethereal or unyielding to lucid language, the authors thoughts were.

HN should buck this trend and not join in adulation.

Git is terrible at branching, constantly squashing and rebasing is not a feature but an annoyance. see fossil for how to do proper branching/merging/logging, by its very nature, Not to mention that by having the repository separate from the data, it forces you to organize it in a nice way (Mine look like Project/(repo.fossil, branch1/ branch2/ branch3/) You can achieve this with git now but I never had to think about it in fossil, its a natural consequence of the design.

I think that one of the reasons there's a surprising amount of pushback because a lot of developers don't like the sort of collaborative, unstructured workflow that chat-oriented tools push onto you.

I once worked with someone who was brilliant, but fell apart when we tried to do pair-programming (acturial major who had moved into coding). The verbal communication overhead was too much for him.
All the listed loss functions induce equivalent topologies. Functions which converge in absolute value on a compact space converge also with mean squared error to the same function. The loss function is actually irrelevant and all it does is change the rate of convergence.

Command + O to open files/folders in Finder was a bit challenging to remember since Enter/Return just works in Explorer

Show HN: Containerized security-focused terminal IDE  - de aka l7-devenv
Hi HN,

l7-devenv, or `de` for short[0], is a containerized terminal-based IDE using rootless Podman, neovim and friends, and proxying of network requests and sockets.

IMO, the security story around most widely used code editors is not great today. Security, convenience, and productivity appear to be pick-any-2 when fundamentally I believe they don't have to be in conflict.

`de` takes a critical look at the software and secrets used for day-to-day development and compartmentalizes them using containers. For example, you can connect seamlessly to authenticated GitHub endpoints without leaking your production token while LSPs and package scripts are run in separate ephemeral containers. It also provides features and integrations to make the developer experience more productive and joyful, with a current focus on Node.js development[1], GitHub, and web3.

The main and integrated editor is neovim. No plugin manager is used; instead plugins are installed natively from git submodules and bundled into the image.

This is currently in a prototype stage[2] and driven by internal needs. It derives heavily from existing community efforts (<3).

You will find this relevant if you want:

- To be using neovim for Node.js development and collaborating on github.com

- Separate your developer credentials from your editor and code-under-test

- More control of your https requests[3]

- Something more secure than distrobox but more lightweight and seamless than QubesOS (<3)

- More terminal joy and less waiting at requests to load for your routine code review workflows

- Some inspiration for your own setup

[0]: Names WIP

[1]: While current focus is catering to JS/TS devs, it should be straightforward to add your own runtimes and buildtimes. There is an example for golang in there if you look around.

[2]: Provided as-is, currently no guarantees given regarding actual security, etc. In particular, the proxied container socket used to spawn side-containers could definitely use some tightening down.

[3]: The TLS MitM is already done and redirecting the current proxy to something like mitmproxy should be trivial for the motivated
I agree with this take.

The perspective I take is the 15 year view: The iPhone 1 sucked objectively but by the iPhone 3 the trajectory was clear and 15 years later the world is a very different place.

You hear people very focused on specific shortfalls: "I asked it to write code and look it made a mistake". But there are very clear routes to fixing these and there are lots of people finding it useful despite these bugs.

I think AI is bigger than mobile. I'm nearly 50, and I remember the PC boom, the Internet boom, Social Networking boom, Mobile boom, SaaS boom - probably more that I forget.

I think the PC and Internet booms are the only ones that are as impactful as AI will be in 15 years.

Maybe mobile is as big, maybe not - depends if someone can build AI devices that replace the UX of phones sometime in the next 15 years.
I was there last week for the Dead and it was really quite good. Didn’t feel “huge”, the sound was good (didn’t need a huge sound system on stage) and the graphics ( which usually I find a distraction) were quite good.
