For video games, I'll look at OpenCritic's "202X Hall of Fame" list on a monthly basis. If something new pops up that's well rated, I'll take a look at it. YouTubers like Razbuten or VideoGameDunkey also play a role in awareness. I enjoy 5-10 hour single player experiences that have a complete vision and try to do something novel. Games that fit the bill are typically those made by indie studios. My favorite genres are metroidvanias and games that have knowledge-based progression, although I still play plenty of platformers and puzzle games. Recent standouts in my mind are Neon White and Cocoon. Favorite games are Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, and Celeste.

For board games, I'll look up BoardGameGeek's ranking list on a monthly basis. If something new pops up that's well rated, I'll take a look at it. YouTubers like "Shut Up and Sit Down" also help. I also go to weekly board game events and some yearly conventions which help increase exposure to games I'm unfamiliar with drastically. I prefer games that have minimal luck, lots of strategic options, and high levels of player interaction. Recent standouts are Darwin's Journey and Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory. Favorite games are Food Chain Magnate, Terra Mystica, and Pipeline.

There's so many ranking sites and YouTubers in both realms that I really don't have any struggles to find something new to play. If I want a suggestion, I'll just find a random "Top X" list and see if there's something I don't recognize. The struggle is finding the time to play and explore as much as I would like. However, I have blind spots for "underrated" games that may match my preferences but never get on my radar.

Hope that helps with the discovery you're trying to do! Happy to answer anything more specifically.
Well, I'm not looking forward to the day when I upgrade my Python and suddenly I have to debug a ton of fun race conditions.
thank you for sharing your expertise!
NextJS is a different project that came after React and is largely a bundler/framework built on top, implementing the bleeding edge before other frameworks. You'll often see React betas or release candidates as a next dependency. I expect that eventually other projects, like Vite, will also support RSC

How do you see React "moving away"? Maybe you mean React should not have gone down the server component path?
You’d be surprised by how many failures you get by such an approach. Hydrophobic cores can be easily disrupted by altering some side chain volumes.

I think he says the opposite.
Goldman is correct that AI is expensive and unreliable.

But it's only overhyped if AI stays that way.

The hype isn't coming from where AI is today, but where it will be in 2030 and 2040.

What excites the true believers is the slope, not the intercept.
> sha256 has been around a long time and is highly compatible.

Sure, and one can construct a perfectly nice tree hash from SHA256. (AWS Glacier did this, but their construction should not be emulated.)
I feel you. I know asyncio is "the future", but I usually just want to write a background task, and really hate all the gymnastics I have to do with the color of my functions.
The Haiku project folks worked out ABI compatibility for newer GCC releases. Current builds of Haiku support binary backwards compatibility with the 2.95 ABI while also supporting newer GCC ABIs at the same time. So at least we know it is (and would have been) possible.
- [EDIT: I confused the details of this AT&T breach with the other (2019) one disclosed on 3/2024: 77m AT&T/MVNO customers, 90% of them former customers]. This one is 110m customers, presumably all their current customerbase. But it's still unlikely this is "internal analytics" (for telco business-case) given the timestamps were removed but location data included.

- Yes about Snowflake's cloud telco unit explicitly marketing the fact that telco data contains location. See my updated post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40949640

It doesn't sound like they "failed" any actual safety test, but rather that they rushed their safety tests, thereby "failing" (in the eyes of many people) to conduct sufficiently rigorous tests.

Now that the 4o model have been out in the wild for 2 months, have there been any claims of serious safety failures? The article doesn't seem to imply any such thing.

..despite these concerns and constraints, we still see room for the AI theme to run, either because AI starts to deliver on its promise, or because bubbles take a long time to burst.
> We perceive more greens than blues or reds.

As I said in reply to the sibling comment, this is essentially the opposite of my point: it seems to suggest that green should take up a disproportionately large part of the colour wheel (in fact, that's what the article's suggested wheel at the end does), but I'm saying it should take up less. But, as I mentioned in my other comment, an experienced perception of green looking similar to physically nearby colours is not necessarily related to our ability to "perceive more greens".

I haven't seen OKLab before, thanks. But it seems to be more about the perceived lightness of different hues, which is something different again.
Maybe they’ll become consultants helping big customers use the platform to fund its development.
It's a rails app right now, so I'd be surprised if anything else would be slower lol. Except if they really screw up the rewrite or something, but tech wise almost anything else would be faster.
Good to hear. The authors are touching on the journey it is to make Cython continue to work. I wonder how hard it'll be to continue to provide bdist packages, or within what timeframe, if at all, Cython can transparently ensure correctness for a no-gil build. Anyone got any insights?

ThreadPoolExecutor is the most similar thing to asyncio: It hands out promises, and when you call .result(), it's the same as await. JS even made its own promises implicitly compatible with async/await. I'm mentioning what JS does because you're describing a very common JS use case, and Python isn't all that different.

If you have async stuff happening all over the place, what do you use, a global ThreadPoolExecutor? It's not bad, but a bit more cumbersome and probably less efficient. You're running multiple OS threads that are locking, vs a single-threaded event loop. Gets worse the more long-running blocking calls there are.

Also, I was originally asking about free threads. GIL isn't a problem if you're just waiting on I/O. If you want to compute on multiple cores at once, there's multiprocessing, or more likely you're using stuff like numpy that uses C threads anyway.
Right, if phone records for Congressmen and known (or deduced) DOD were made public would that sway any changes
This kind of system has consistent led to regulatory capture by the licensed industry. Even the mechanism of operation de facto assumes a significant gatekeeping barrier to getting a license, since otherwise companies would just pick one most willing to cut corners to save costs, or pay the license fee to get greenhorns certified because that costs less than adding two years to the development schedule to do it well. Making everything cost quadratically more than it already does is not a good solution.

What you want here is for them not to be holding the data to begin with. The solution to which is to just let customers sue them. Not for $0.30 and "free credit monitoring" but for actual money. Then companies can choose whether they want to mitigate their risk by doing actual security or by not storing the data to begin with, but most likely the second one is their better option.
> I'm really not sure what that solution would look like though

I‘m living in the country where it more or less exists, though things are getting worse now. America is a very special country that is called developed despite many gaps in welfare system, but there are more successful examples.
Let me enumerate the necessary policies:

1. Universal healthcare, tax-funded or statutory insurance - doesn’t matter.
2. Parental leave allowance of minimum 2-3 years for each parent, tax benefits for businesses to hire temporary substitution.
3. Parental leave benefits covering at least 12-18 months that are higher if both parents take the leave, defined as a percentage of salary. Ideally must cover the period until the child goes to kindergarten.
4. Free kindergarten at walkable distance (ok, for America could be reasonable travel distance), free full day schools, free university education (German style) that does not require students to work a lot and allows for parental leave.
5. Labor code that enforces 35-40 hour work, sufficiently high minimum wage and disincentivizes overtime/second work for parents.
6. Most importantly, cost of living must be primary KPI for the government. Property prices and rent contribute a lot to it, so the investment bubble must be accurately deflated (that’s a separate story how, and America is again very special here, so it’s more like a long term idea).

Overall, the policies must be designed with the lifetime journey of a typical family/couple/single professional in mind (CJM is a good tool). Observe. Analyze. Identify and eliminate barriers. Don’t break what works, don’t impose certain ways of living etc.
How do I discover new games: I follow some professional game critics whose opinions I trust.

Aspects that I enjoy: originality, good story, art with character, fair challenge.

Regarding finding new games: good paid games are relatively easy to find if you follow game awards. Good free games are difficult on PC and impossible on mobile.

Most recent favorite game: Blasphemous. I saw enough references to its (very original) art, gave it a try, and was more fun than I expected.

I'd be interested in a frequency counter view, with a running average per minute or per second. So I can record that I see 10 Teslas per minute driving to work in the morning, but only 3 Teslas per minute on the way home at night (for example).
Part of breaking them up is supposed to be not letting them re-consolidate. Mergers involving any entity that already has 15% market share should just be flatly disallowed.
The government was asking for tweets to be taken down, that violates the first amendment. People were being "flagged" and/or shadow banned for what they said on Twitter because the government didn't like it.

The government of course claimed it was fighting "disinformation" which is irrelevant - the 1st amendment protects all speech, true or not.

Then to add on top they were banning "disinformation" that was actually true, just politically inconvenient.

The old Twitter management was generally happy to play along since they're all on the same team, and hey "what's a constitutional right between friends"?

This was captured in emails and texts between government agencies (FBI, etc) and Twitter employees. Musk happily released it all when he bought X.

None of this is contested. How anyone can see that and say "yeah, that hack Taibi" is frankly shocking. He's one of the few journalists who actually bothered to report on it.
It’s healthy for GS to express a contrarian opinion.

He accidentally tripped, fell, and landed in Sheremetyevo International Airport with a nice cushy job in the Russian government, with Russian citizenship and a nice estate worth 10s of millions of dollars, and clearly just accidentally mispoke when he swore allegiance to Russia. All the nsa secrets he took with him were irrelevant to that story, typical of any asylum seeker arriving anywhere.

With that attitude, the pay will always be lower. Letting the dogma be self-reinforcing isnt the winning strat. The difference isnt even benefits, retirement, and pension. Maybe in the 80/90s or even 00s that was the case, but it's a dead philosophy carried by dead justifications.

Questionable whether switched receivers can be called "true diversity" when there are techniques to combine the RF signals for diversity gain and higher SNR.
That's not a very interesting opportunity for insitutional investors (hedge funds, banks, pensions, etc). They have the resources and confidence to move fast and cleverly and don't need to make big bets on far off possibilities. They have better things to do with their money in the meantime.

The nearly $1T in investment hype since Q42022 was chasing the possibility that revolutionary commercialization of generative AI might arrive any day. That no longer seems likely.

As you note, there seem to be at least a few more profound discoveries that need to be made and matured, and so that revolution is still a long way out (from the perspective of these investors), even if it looks meaningfully more possible than it did two years ago.
No dereferences, just casts. It shouldn't generate any loads/reads from memory.
If non-synonymous mutations do not change the biophysical features of the amino acid residues, then the structure is usually kept. Alternatively, it can be the case that a disruptive mutation is compensated by another one that keeps the structure/function/phenotype. This is the basis for evolutionary coupling based structure prediction methods, such as Alphafold.
I would, and do, actively block all three.
Overhyped? Sure. Expensive? Definitely. Unreliable? Sometimes.

So many HNers love to be contrarian about anything resembling a hype train, and feel validated when a report like this comes out. I think the reality is that people moving forward with integrating AI into various aspects of their business and reaping the rewards aren't here making snarky "I told you so" comments, which seems to be every other comment on this and the other threads about the same article.
Sounds like the prosecution colluded with police to hide evidence from the defense.

I wonder now if this will also reopen the case for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
Totally agree. It feels like our banking is a decade behind - like transfer money - no direct way to do it between banks - most people use Venmo. Some banks are part of Zelle, but I’ve heard it has fraud issues (weak discovery/confirmation of correct recipient) and the banks won’t refund many fraudulent transfers (“You initiated the transfer! Not our problem you sent to the wrong person!”).

So, do you get a physical OTP generator for every financial institution? I guess that works, but that would mean I’d have a drawer full (2x bank, 1x work, current 401k, past IRA, and a brokerage account - x2 because my wife has about the same).

I was thrilled last year when I discovered I could renew my passport online! In 2023! That should have been available eons ago.
Well the TS tooling is more painful in ways. It's not compatible with some stuff like the NodeJS profiler. Also there's some mess around modules vs "require" syntax that I don't understand fully but TS somehow plays a role.
It’s an experimental release in 3.13. Another example: objects that will have deffered reference counts in 3.14 are made immortal in 3.13 to avoid scaling issues from reference count thrashing. This wasn’t originally the plan but deferred reference counting didn’t land in time for 3.13. It will be several years before free-threading becomes the default, at that point there will no longer be any single-threaded performance drop. Of course that assumes everything shakes out as planned, we’ll see.

This post is a call to ask people to “kick the tires”, experiment, and report issues they run into, not announcing that all work is done.
> I think saying women like her are enslaved is itself misogyny

Fully agree. I would not change anything in my comment above nevertheless. It is not about the women who have and make the choice. We are not in the world yet, where this would be the default assumption.
>there goes 50-70% of the jobs in that sector.

Does this always follow though? Mass automation can just as easily make the existing staff far more effective, making the ROI easier to justify.
Right, but the reason something else was able to call it was that he patched it too late. The same thing can happen with gevent. From the docs:

> Patching should be done as early as possible in the lifecycle of the program. For example, the main module (the one that tests against __main__ or is otherwise the first imported) should begin with this code, ideally before any other imports:

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all()

A corollary of the above is that patching should be done on the main thread and should be done while the program is single-threaded.

It's possible to patch later on, but much more involved. If you patch module A after you've already loaded module B, which itself loads module A, then you have to both patch module A and track down and patch every reference to module A in module B. Usually those will just be global references, but not always.

There are also other methods supported by that engine, but we're not at a point where we'd have all-encompassing support, at least not yet. Maybe in a few years.
AVUV may perform similarly, but it is actively managed to the whims of Avantis' decisions and does not track an index. Thus it is also a 0.25% expense ratio compared to VBR and VIOV at 0.07% and 0.15% respectively.

Avantis: "this fund is an actively managed ETF that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index."
What state do you live in? I can't imagine that happening here in Washington state, even if our DMVs are all one big room.
I used to think like that until I tried.

There are areas where typing is more important: public interfaces. You don't have to make every piece of your program well-typed. But signatures of your public functions / methods matter a lot, and from them types of many internal things can be inferred.

If your code has a well-typed interface, it's pleasant to work with. If interfaces of the libraries you use are well-typed, you have easier time writing your code (that interacts with them). Eventually you type more and more code you write and alter, and keep reaping the benefits.
I like your take on that! I hadn't thought about it that way before but "Writing two files to build a webapp" indeed sounds quite intriguing. And we could extend that idea to "...and deploy it with 1 click" or some version of that.

I'm curious about what audience you have in mind and what kind of apps would you be interested in building this way? Would love to hear more of your thoughts!

Edit: I should add that our main motivation for integrating GPT is that we had to introduce some new concepts to make this experience work, which increased the app-building learning curve. We thought having GPT generate code and highlighting diffs would be a neat way to teach users how to develop apps without reading a lot of documentation.
I personally find that code rather readable for code specifically designed to show that it isn't readable. (I don't think the background attribute is valid syntax though, color spaces should be specified per color and the percents are redundant)
CEL is becoming a "standard" implementation found in a lot of places. I generally like it, but loathe how much it's been growing the Yaml Engineering (devops) space. We need better options like CUE and Starlark that can scale and CEL feels more like duct tape in a lot of places. You kind of need CEL-in-config when the values are dynamic and processed within another system. In time, I expect that if something like GitHub Actions supported CUE natively, we could remove the `when: "CEL expression"` even with the dynamic values from previous steps. Eventually CUE's evaluator will be smart enough to know when / how to order sub-values.

I shouldn't have said it's a waste of time period, cause every project I work on does have static typing in two very important places: the RPC or web API (OpenAPI, gRPC, whatever it is), and the relational database. But not in the main JS or Py code. That's all I've ever needed.

I did try migrating a NodeJS backend to TS along with a teammate driving that effort. The type-checking never ended up catching any bugs, and the extra time we spent on that stuff could've gone into better testing instead. So it actually made things more dangerous.
