I think what all these sites get wrong, is that the reading and the tracking is separate. The reason why for example Spotify playlists work really well is because the proximity between the music and the tracking is very close to each other.
The success of CUDA is basically a dual effect of AMD devices being inefficient and bad for years, plus AMD having no answer to CUDA for a solid 7+ years while the foundations of GPGPU were being laid down.

Thanks so much! When we had this idea, I was certain that it had to have been done before because it seemed like such a gap in the market. To my surprise, it didn’t exist! We love the format because not only do we learn a ton, but by focusing on the books we keep the discussions substantive and avoid becoming the millionth “tech news of the week” podcast.

Most repositories have some sort of vetting process as far as I'm aware. In the case of Zed, because it's open-source, it can be examined more completely, although I don't think it's expected for every update to be heavily scrutinized.

In the end, at some point you either have to inspect every line of code yourself or trust others to have done it for you. Package managers fall into the latter category.
What in this news website would require being a complex web app?

People will argue any workers rights and protections at all make countries less competitive.

Honestly though? So be it. Corporations don't have a right to exploit people as they see fit and protecting the weaker party, the employee, is more important.

What do you mean by "bus" and "module" in this context?
I've personally tested my ability to "drive by feel" on a road i travel at least once a day on average for the past 12 years. Like, new moon, no headlights or parking lights. It's all farmland and fences and curves, with no foglines or detents to let you know when you're straying out of the lane.

I couldn't do it in an emergency unless somehow i was in 100% beta brainwave mode (i think), but it isn't really hyperbole. Obviously if a deer or a tree or a brick or something was in the road i'd run straight into it, but that happens tops (TOPS!) two, maybe three times a week.

ETA: also if you've ever seen military vehicles with their no-show lights, it's not hard to fathom that some people can drive with next to no visual clues.

I disagree with the statement "they are trained to duplicate" because "to" implies a purpose/intent which is incorrect. I.e. "they are trained with the purpose of duplication". This is I believe pretty uncontroversially false. We already have methods to duplicate data. They are trained with the purpose of learning abstract patterns is much more correct. One of the biggest _problems_ of training is duplication, aka over-fitting. To say it's the purpose is imo disengenious.

Ah I see what they meant by that statement. It is true that supervised learning operates on labelled input/output pairs, and that neural networks generally use gradient descent/back propogation. (Disclaimer: it's been a few years since I've done any of this myself so don't quite remember it that well, and the field has changed a lot). Note since the parameter space of the neural network is usually _significantly_ smaller than the training data set, a network will not tend to minimise that cost function near 0 for an individual sample since doing so will worsen the overall result. There is inherent "fudging", although near identical output can potentially happen. The statement here is more reasonable and similar to the training process than the first.
Tried it with mangohud and scrolled up and down a 100-line c++ file with no lsp enabled. 30fps. Absolutely not ready yet. Not sure I'm willing to leave Emacs, but gpui looks cool and I hope someone makes a fast Emacs client with it some day.

I agree with you and probably have a similar setup to you.

There's a % of people that like to think deeper about their tools, but I think most folks don't care enough or might be struggling with higher priority things at work. Plus, you don't know what you're missing.

For me, good setup is like compound interest that just keeps paying off over time.
There's a danger as well. Small teams become very tribal, and once they're trapped down a rabbit hole of bad abstractions and local maxima, can be very hard to coax out of.

> rule of law, civil liberties, fairness and freedom of elections, wide representation of interests (instead of narrow groups), and equal access to resources across various groups within a society, Russia was already at the bottom of global ranking in 2013

I just don't see what essentially any Russian citizen can do about this. If you do not have free elections and no representation of interests, then by definition you cannot also fix that stuff in any fashion. "We think we can treat you poorly because your government also does" is an especially poor sell to Russians.

> negotiations were always bound to become long and difficult due to unresolved issues around the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, radical muslims in rural Turkey, and a long list of other difficult subjects.

The point is, all of these issues also exist in Russia: Unresolved issues around Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as North Caucasus insurrections and its radical muslims. So if that didn't work for Turkey in 30 years, it will also not work for Russia. Case closed.

Getting into EU is comparatively easy for a small country, much harder for a larger one and for Russia (or Turkey) it is both impossible and infeasible. Real integration could only come in some other framework, which has never materialized, and as I can see nobody in EU even understands that it needed to be there. If you are an economic and defense bloc accepting new countries in, you should be very careful about countries you're not going to accept, as they rightfully see you as a threat.

Great resource! For those interested in learning the fundamentals of audio programming, I highly recommend starting with Rust.

the cpal library in Rust is excellent for developing cross-platform desktop applications. I'm currently maintaining this library:

https://github.com/chaosprint/asak

It's a cross-platform audio recording/playback CLI tool with TUI. The source code is very simple to read. PRs are welcomed and I really hope Linux users can help to test and review new PRs :)

When developing Glicol(https://glicol.org), I documented my experience of "fighting" with real-time audio in the browser in this paper:

https://webaudioconf.com/_data/papers/pdf/2021/2021_8.pdf

Throughout the process, Paul Adenot's work was immensely helpful. I highly recommend his blog:

I am currently writing a wasm audio module system, and hope to publish it here soon.

The title for this page and argument should be qualified with the specific generation of tools.

And there are trillion-dollar prizes at stake, so, improvement is happening as quickly as it possibly can.

I think you're missing the point, or you're grossly overvaluing the quality of "from scratch" scripts that are made. There are some very bad scripts out there that have been made it all the way to being a very bad movie that I've watched. So many "straight to [VHS|DVD|Home Video|Streaming]" scripts that somebody green lit. Just imagine how many more were written/read and not approved.
Should you use Quart or FastAPI for an AI app?
this looks really great! since insomnia started requiring an account I never really settled on anything else.

the one thing that worries me is compatibility - I echo the voices asking for hurl support. it kinda sucks that each of these programs invents its own format.

it would also be great to be able to run these requests as part of a CI pipeline, without opening the TUI. supporting a format like hurl would add this ability automatically, because the same files could be used by other clients.

p.s. upon trying it out the first things i missed is "how do I create a new collection?" and "how do I exit?". it felt that both should have been a command in the command plate. in the end if created the collection manually as a folder and exited using Ctrl+C, but I'm still not sure if that was the intended way.
Your sense that an LLM being able to write a simple python script is good enough to replace engineers makes you reek of being a junior engineer. How do you justify such extrapolation?

This is awesome! I use the iOS notes app in a kludgy/txt way. This is so much better. Great work getting this out there!
There you go, getting to the meat of it..

So your position is that an app installed on my phone is not able to track or collect any more data, and does not have access to any other information, than a website that I load in my device browser (assuming I log into that website with the same credentials I use in the native app)?

I agree that this might be true in some cases. Note that I never said or implied that an app could do things without permission - but my fault if that wasn't clear.

Now, that said, would it perhaps be fair to say that the average user is much more likely to grant additional permissions to a native app on their phone than they would to a website?

If a website asks for your location, or access to the camera or to your contacts or whatever, I think many people would refuse. There's still a sense that a website is "out there" on the Internet, and you shouldn't necessarily trust it.

But when an app you've installed on your device asks for these things, in order to "operate properly" or provide functionality, then I think people are much more likely to grant it.

After all they've installed the app on their device, they've already trusted the vendor that much, it's only an incremental step at this point.

And once the device does have this elevated access, and access to more data, then there are absolutely more opportunities to collect data on users without their understanding.

I say "understanding" here rather than "consent" because typically consent is given via some long and complicated T&Cs that no one reads. Which is of course on the user, but again if you don't grant permission in the first place (because you're on a website not an app), it's not a problem.

And we have historically seen that some companies (not all companies of course) take advantage of this app access to collect data for themselves without your knowledge. I hope that part isn't up for debate here..
3/4" oil and weatherproof reinforced double wall hose, the kind that lasts a decade with heavy use (at least, i have one that's 12 years old that i haven't had to repair at all). For the "better than contractor from TSC" it was $413 for 200', which is oil and weatherproofed double wall hose, but doesn't have the anti-collapse webbing between the layers, just the water carrying layer and the outer protective layer.

ETA iirc home depot has 75' for $30 for, uh, passable garden hose. I understand we can buy cheap stuff but even the cheap stuff is more expensive than it used to be.
I’ve been self-hosting Firefly III [1] for a few years. It’s a little quirky, but ultimately it’s been very effective for me as a freelancer. I’d be interested in what others are using, I’m sure a search of Ask HN would probably turn up some routine discussions.

I agree with the first comment, some screenshots and set of initial releases would help. I don’t know exactly what else to suggest, but as it stands the idea piqued my interest, but the repo’s README didn’t convince me to expend the effort to build it myself and try it out, so consider the aforementioned screenshots, maybe loosen up some of the overly formal language, describe the mechanics of the project and how it solves the problems you experienced in more specific ways, what kind of ergonomics you employed to facilitate good habits and reliable utility—a tracking tool is only as good as the info you supply, so does it encourage the user to make routine entries and is that routine usage as simple and smooth as possible?

Best wishes!

Komodo had some promise, in kind of the same way the original hype about Perl 6 had promise. For its time, it had features that were not widely available in other editors. However, I found it to be slow and buggy. And that was compared to Eclipse which was notoriously clunky. (Note: a quick look at the modern Komodo Editor, which appears to still be actively developed, looks much closer to a Visual Studio Code clone and is nothing like I recall the original)

I recall it was pitched as a slightly lighter alternative to eclipse and intellij but initially geared towards Perl development (with plugin support for all languages). However, that kind of middle-ground wasn't popular at the time and devs mostly split into the full featured IDE camp or the stripped down editor camp.

Editor hype cycles come and go. That's part of the reason I am so jaded when I see a new cycle start for a new editor.

Bug free is less important for reproducible builds, so long as the bugs are reproducible. Compiler bugs are of course still a problem for other reasons.
Absolutely. I have become very “AI-phobic” and any author who unironically uses, or references AI I automatically consider discredited and therefore don’t engage with the content. This is not an irrational reaction or something that can cause regret later; in relation to my personal definition of “quality” and “value”, any affiliation with AI has consistently proven to be a very reliable heuristic for what I should not be wasting my time on. Apart from memes, that is the only major benefit AI is having for me; and it is actually saving me quite a bit of time.
We want to be your image assistant showing you outfit combinations

Our Startup, DressMe4 is an iOS App that we just launched. We'd love to get some feedback.

We want to be your image assistant showing you outfit combinations showing users images of clothing from different pages like SHEIN and making them different combinations based on colors.
These are some of the key features that the app has:

Key Features:

Color-Based Matching: Choose your main color to start getting outfits.

Select from triadic, analogous, complementary, monochromatic, or accent combinations to combine different colors and create different combinations.

Link to the Store: Connect to online retailers and see the outfits.

Favorites: Save your favorite outfit combinations.

I'd like some feedback on the product.
> I blame Intel for why so many folks avoid assembly language.

x86 (the worst assembly of any of the top 50 most popular ISAs by a massive margin) and tricky MIPS branch delay slots trivia questions at university have done more to turn off programmers from learning assembly than anything else and it's not even close.

This is one reason I'm hoping that RISC-V kills off x86. It actually has a chance of once again allowing your average programmer to learn useful assembly.

Really, you have causation backward. Eg. the supposed Carboniferous Period was an opportunity for something to evolve which consumes wood. Many "problems" get solved by accident in this way, but many also don't - as long as they take place over a long enough timespan. If they happen too quickly, there's not enough time for living things to adapt.

Currently there is an opportunity for an industrious plastic-eating microbe to hitch a ride in every gut on the planet, deciding the winners and losers of the plastiferous period. All that means, though, is that there's a chance such a creature could appear and take advantage, not that it will happen. (Yes I know plastic-eaters have been discovered, but I'm not aware of any having an effect on the fitness of other creatures.)
Companies increase team size because they want to increase overall output, not per-person output. Even if 20 people produce half as much per person as 5 people, they’re still getting twice as much done.

(The other answers take a cynical “managers suck!” stance, which isn’t entirely wrong, but it’s not the main reason. Companies mainly add people because they want more output, simple as that.)

I also tend to find "my people" in terms of specific things about me in multiple specific activities. For programming, I have this one group. For trail running, I have this other group. Both contain deeper understandings, but for a subset of myself.

As a bonus, decentralized social groups helps foster my independent thinking and questioning of my own biases. I associate with people from all walks of life and all political ideologies.
As far back as 2017, my office had around 150 seats for 200-250 people. They mitigated this by requiring people work from home one day a week back then, instead of getting a larger office. Didn't want to pay the cost.

We've actually moved to a smaller office since then and are sticking with hybrid.
