i cloned https://github.com/rsdoiel/xlisp and it turns out that, although the original ast-walking xlisp was for the z80 under cp/m, this version is an r3rs scheme. the stripped executable is 303.6 kilobytes. historical versions of xlisp were easy to embed, and api.doc indicates that this is a priority for this version as well

amusingly, this xlisp package includes a tk interface—by embedding tcl

an earlier xlisp, i think for cp/m-86, is http://www.cpm.z80.de/download/xlisp.zip. it is written in c, about 2800 lines of c, which i haven't tried to compile, but i think the executable is under 64k. this might give the flavor of the language thus implemented:

https://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/picolisp/... purports to be a lisp interpreter in an 8-kibibyte executable. for cp/m. it looks like it's cp/m-80, since objdump -D -b binary -m i386 -M i8086,intel --adjust-vma=0x100 8kl.com produces gibberish. dz80 from the d52 package produces a reasonable-looking disassembly, but it's 6000 lines long, and i don't have a cp/m or cp/mish emulation environment set up at the moment, so i can't verify that it actually works. all the source code is included

still, it seems like pretty strong evidence that you can do an ergonomic embedded scripting language in 8 kilobytes or so, not 1900 kilobytes
I suspect some engineer has discovered their CI scripts were just "exit 0"

Ask HN: How can recover my equity stock options?
Recently, left a startup job and so my options 3 month window till expiration kicked in. I took some time off between jobs to be with family/travel. I got back and recently started a new job that pays bi-weekly. My plan was to save some money each paycheck and exercise my options as money came. Unfortunately, all my option grants are on Carta. And Carta sucks so bad! I'm surprised this company is still in business WTF.

I submitted a first request thinking it would take max two to three days to complete the ACH like any normal business (it says 3-5 business days). It didn't. A few weeks pass, I'm getting close to my option expiration date. I get my next paycheck. So I figured let me submit my second batch and exercise my remaining options. The kicker: Carta doesn't allow multiple exercise requests! WTF! I wait and wait for the first exercise to complete. Apparently, the grant needs to be signed by multiple parties before the ACH even begins. It's been close to a month now, and my options expire tomorrow.

Like wtf, you have one job Carta! So I call Carta and ask them to expedite the process. They say my only option is to submit a manual request to my previous company to exercise. So I have to send them a mail/fax like it's the 80s. I'm out of the country on a trip and don't know how I can get the check to them by tomorrow.

Carta sucks kids! I get that cap tables are complex, but surely processing a payment shouldn't take months in 2024. Even if it does, it's inexcusable that they can't handle multiple requests at once.

Yeah, because human developers never allow mistakes to make it to production. Never happens.

> I support immigration and oppose the Republican anti-immigrant platform

Republicans are anti-illegal immigration, not anti-immigration. Trump's wife is an immigrant.

> because it seems to me there is significant brain drain from many countries to the U.S. and that contributes to our success.

It would only be a brain drain if you filter by skills or IQ. But if you just let everyone in, you can make things worse, not better.

> I'm not concerned about the crime

Of course, and we can see the results.

He said he liked legal immigration. So we can have more legal immigrants any time we want.

Release how it’s done.

“Faster than a MacBook Air” isn’t hard if you’re willing to burn electricity and produce more heat. Really it’s the same for the MBP comparison.

Heck Intel can beat a MBP. The could when it was released. You can buy it right now. Just don’t expect similar battery life or a light laptop.

Can you beat the performance at the same battery life with a similar sized battery? Can you match the performance and battery life while using a smaller battery?

Just saying you’re faster is only part of the story. Without the qualifiers you used it’s not meaningful.
> I think its perfectly reasonable to say that if you don't accept a countries values, you should not be allowed to move there.

If we are still talking about France, then this is a country that 10 years ago saw big groups loudly oppose same-sex marriage, and who now oppose assisted reproduction. The (black female) minister carrying the law was subject to vile racist and sexist caricatures and mockery. France is a country whose president characterised the denunciations of sexual abuse by a famous actor as a man hunt. More recently still, an "expert" was heard on a widely watched TV network blaming the victims of rape for the reduction of births in the west. The same TV network that had to apologise a few months ago for claiming that abortion is the leading cause of deaths in the world.

The common point between all of these? They were all people of long term French descent. Not recent immigrants. There is no accepted "country's values" to begin with. There are laws, which are enforced and which immigrants and natives alike are expected to obey.

Now since you are talking about America, there are plenty of Americans, descendants of Americans for generations, who oppose abortion, to the point where it's all but illegal in several states. The past and likely future president is a rapist who bragged about it. There are no universally shared values among the American people around the rights of women either, and that's true even if we don't count immigrants as "true" Americans, whatever that may mean. America is a country which until very recently had segregation laws, and the "values" these laws represented didn't suddenly disappear when these laws were repelled.

Before claiming that immigrants should be accepting a country's values there should be some clarity around what those values are. Then someone should decide what to do with the people in the country who don't share those values. Political regimes that implement such "values"-based systems have a name: fascism.

> Hardliners have grown worried that the experiment with capitalism could threaten the government’s tight grip on power, and the Cuban military, which used to control most foreign currency coming into the island, is viewing these companies as competition, sources in Cuba said.

How much blame does the military have for the mass exodus of Cubans?

It's equally valuable because it's symbolic culturally and a status symbol.

> I think the understanding that they are not rare and that the price is entirely an extortionary corporate fiction to collect huge profits will influence one's desire to pay the high price.

That's like telling people their Gucci bag actually costs $100 to manufacture and thinking it will make them stop buying them. People do things to signal social status. It's never been a rational thing so rationality isn't going to fix it.

If we flood the market with diamonds people will find the next status symbol to cling on to. You can try to stop it at gun point like the Soviets/Chinese did but that still never stopped the remaining few with status from engaging in it (see NK today).

Humans are just flawed biology who do dumb stuff and there will always be another person who will give it to them in exchange for their money and another person to desire what they now have.
I am excited in continuous progress AMD had been able to sustain for a while now. However I am quite skeptical about claims of x86 beating ARM in perf or efficiency metrics all other things being comparable (die size, tech process, power budget, etc).
It gets murky fast when the culture itself is the problem and not just some bad actors. When you use coercive force to fight an ideology or a culture, and the ideology or culture makes up the majority of the demographic, you end up with very messy situations that often create more suffering than you were trying to alleviate.
Sounds like we have you to thank, using your strange version of logic.

Bookstores struggled not just because of Amazon but because they insisted on selling everything at full MSRP, so just like you, people went and bought it for 30% less on Amazon because they were willing to have smaller margins (and it's not like BN and Borders didn't have the buying volume across all their stores).
Just use JSON Schema, LangChain supports structured output, which let's you define your own custom schema.
I think we're saying the same thing here. I'd argue IQ is correlated with the some outcome, but that it causal of few or none. Is that roughly what you're getting at too?

When IQ is indicative but not predictive, I just don't see much use there. If I can't predict future behavior, success, or some other metric then I'm not sure why I'd zero in in IQ specifically. I have also found past experience to be indicitive but not predictive, and I don't need to trust a standardized testing method to review experience.
Thats true but no sane malware developer would share their binary with VT. Downloading a binary is still safer than having your shell run arbitrary stuff
The way I see it, the "other" team is made of people. If they endorse the other team's position to harm me, I take it personally.

I think the article gives a good read on AMD's ambitions, they are absolutely looking at performance per watt and they are working to make these more efficient. So they didn't just give a cpu a shit ton of power, they actually focused on efficiency. Or at least that's what they said in the article. No battery life stats out yet.
Sure but I know a few trusted AVs I look at the results for to know whether this is the case, usually Malwarebytes and ESET, and Kaspersky
Competition still works as long as you've got something other than "cheapest" to differentiate yourself on.

The people who say "I'm buying brand X because they have a reputation for quality/good design/better total experience" can help finance any difference in labour and environmental remediation costs.

You can't win a "I want the cheapest generic 330-ohm resistor" market wither higher cost structures, but you can come up with a lot of ways to avoid having to enter that market.
I didn't say that anyone getting off a boat was doing it willingly. There are a ton of problems in US history related to slavery, not least of which how our founding fathers handled slavery while attempted to build a nation based on freedom and individual rights.

That's separate from the core topic here though. The slave trade and all the problems that go along with it do not change the fact that our borders were open for a majority of our history.

>"Rust is also the easiest programming language to sight-read. [...] Researchers have concluded that Rust has a signiﬁcantly lower cognitive complexity than C, C++, Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript (all languages studied), “meaning that [Rust] can guarantee the highest understandability of source code compared to all others.” As a result, software maintainers can understand unfamiliar Rust code far more quickly than code written in many other popular languages."

I like Rust, but this sounds like opposite world. I have trouble imagining how this conclusion was made.

There's reports the top of the line's 890M iGPU is on par with my desktop's RX580, which is stellar. Or about equal to a Nvidia 1070, or 15% behind the 1650 super. That's so wild. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-latest-i...

I really really hope Strix Halo can deliver next year, with quad channel memory & a huge GPU. Hopefully it can hit both ends well: hopefully it can be TDP'ed down to be nicely power efficient, hopefully folks can build amazing cooling solutions so we can scale very compact systems up up up to absurd performance when when we have shore power.

Oh, Strix Halo is alleged to be MCM (multi chip module). AMD has been tuning & improving their Infinity Fabric MCM after it being a beast, but it's hard to believe they'll take this dragon on mobile. Intel's EIMB seems to be doing much better? Good luck all!

Similar language is a stretch. Sure, European languages have similar roots, if you go enough far back. But the ability to speak your native language with a fellow European of another nationality, and have a fluent conversation, is quite limited.

I'm not unsympathetic to the idea that mainstream Islam, since then 1970s, has morphed into something closer to extreme ultraorthodox Judaism or an extreme branch of Christianity. And this is certainly an obstacle to integration. But it is not irreversible, and I think in particular rejection by a foreign host culture serves to reinforce that extremism. North Korean defectors have a lot of trouble assimilating in South Korea, despite speaking the same language. Their hard drives are formatted differently, their software is different. The goal of a host society should be to study where the differences present themselves acutely and how to alleviate the pain and rejection of individual emigrants without accepting extremism or compromising the values of the culture into which they have immigrated. This means teaching individualism and the importance of education and self sufficiency rather than doling out welfare subsistence, but it also means the mainstream culture must actively try to embrace the individuals who wish to become part of mainstream society. Europe fails in both.

W/r/t the failure of the US toward Black people, I completely agree with the sibling comment by user:avz and would have nothing more to add.
Relevant reminder that Cuba has been under a brutal economic embargo and sanctions regime by the US for decades, which is the primary driver of Cuba's economic situation. The sanctions began during an era of land reform that saw American corporations, such as United Fruit, lobbying the US to overthrow the Cuban government on their behalf. When that failed, the US imposed sanctions.

What a complete piece of shit. Threatening a child and his parent because the child dumped some memory and found some file. He also knows that there is exactly zero chance for any legal actions towards that kid (and of course it is not his decision in any case), nevertheless he, the super helpful lawyer, gets to make threats however he wants.

Genuinely disgusting. How do these people live with themselves? "Honey, today I made a kid afraid he was going to jail, because he copied some file of something we sold to him, how was your day?".
This implies that someone else could just do what Google used to do, create a better search engine, and eat their lunch. They might not make as much money per-user, but for all search engines other than Google, their biggest problem is not revenue per user, it's how to get more users. "Have a better search engine" is a pretty good advantage there.

> Is your implication that only muslims would oppose the IDF's genocide?

No, mostly Muslims see the use of your own people as human shields as very distasteful, and are more likely to blame Hamas for high Palestinian casualties than the IDF. In fact, bringing up IDF's supposed atrocities without also addressing Hamas's willingness to "fight to the last Gazan" seems very disingenuous.

What did Gazans think would happen after October 7th? And the response seems to have been "We must support Hamas even more", I don't know, eventually they need to address that, or they are going to lose the support and sympathy of everyone outside of the Muslim world.
> We have sanctions on Cuba for the same reason we have sanctions on Russia and Venezuela

Many senior government officials over the years, including then Vice President Cheney, have plainly said that our interest in Venezuela is their oil. The sanctions, as in any country, are about wanting control over their resources.
