I think the step forward is to let website navigation become part of the browser chrome. There's space for a menu item for the website, or a dedicated button.

Maybe even on-site search could become part of the browser chrome?
From our experience, ksh is generally faster, and dash sits between ksh and bash. One reason is that dash stores variables using a very small hash table with only 37 entries[0] meaning variable access quickly becomes linear as memory usage grows. But even with that, dash is still surprisingly fast -- when compiling `pnut.c` with `pnut.sh`, dash comes in second place:

ksh93: 31s
dash: 1m06s
bash: 1m19s
zsh: >15m

To be fair, I can remember 0 times where as an API consumer I've needed to do different actions depending on whether it was a 401 or a 403 - but I also mainly deal in API->API communication.
I've definitely seen "zero-dependency" as a selling point for several packages in the past few years, that's always very refreshing.

These elements will never exist in any number for any meaningful amount of time for the human scale.

That said, these extreme elements are great tests of the understanding of mechanics of atomic nuclei. Personally, I expect this improved understanding to become important in nanofabrication/nanotechnology as we are getting individual atoms to stick to each other.

There are other implications I'm sure for those studying the early superhot universe.

Tenstorrent’s website has different prices for the AI workstations: LoudBox says $12,000, not $6,000; QuietBox says $15,000, not $1,500. Example below.

https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/tt-loudbox

The real comparison for me is against a box using NVIDIA RTX’s. That’s what most use in the sub-$10,000 space for open-source models. They usually use $2,000-$5,000 worth of consumer GPU’s with maybe 24GB VRAM each. So, how does this compare on inference or training to 1-2 RTX’s with 24GB? And what performance for both small and large models?
Show HN: AI Summary Helper – Summarize Web Articles – Ready for on the Go
Hi HN community - Today I wanted to share with you my latest open source project:

When scrolling through HN every day I usually open multiple tabs. Some articles I read immediately but most of them I want to consume at a later point, preferably on my e-reader - in a format tailored to me so it provides more context sparks more inspiration.

AI Summary Helper (available as Chrome Extension and Universal / browser-agnostic bookmarklet) allows you to summarize articles with a custom prompt — so it can be as tailored to your language, profession or point of view as you define it. You can also ask questions about the article.

What makes it special? The summary gets injected in the content area itself. This way you can easily forward the article, including the generated summary to your Kindle device e.g. using Reabbles Send-to-Kindle tool.

https://philffm.github.io/ai-summary-helper/

I did some debugging about 8 years ago in SmartOS. There were some processing that were running for way too long without using the cpu. I ended up using kdbg to trace where the processes were hung. I had to jump between different processes to trace the door calls. There was no unified stack in one process that spanned multiple address spaces, and the calling threads were paused.

So, yes. The documentation in right, the calling thread is paused while a different one is used one the other side of the door.

Texture loading and TLS can not meet deadline for sure because we rely on APIs that do not support deadlines. They can only be best effort/background code.

The difference I believe is between updating each UI widget and doing something in case of still missing texture or yielding on the texture in some place of UI code and never touching rest of the UI in the frame.

Even computer security itself is a metaphor (at least in its inception). I often wonder what if instead of using terms like access, key, illegal operation, firewall, etc. we'd instead chosen metaphors from a different domain, for example plumbing. I'm sure a plumbing metaphor could also be found for every computer security concern. Would be so quick to romanticize as well as militarize a field dealing with "leaks," "blockages," "illegal taps," and "water quality"?

A device could be affixed to each bike that measures wheel speed, as well as pressure cells for the pedals. Any energy that can't be accounted for from the pedals would result in the brakes being automatically applied.

Advantages from wind would also be negated, but I believe that's in spirit of the rule. At first just a single wheel speed sensor could be used, but once the meta evolved to doing stoppies/wheelies on downhill sections both wheels would need to be fitted with one.
Job Decorators–Oban Pro Launch Week
We have no idea because we don't know the properties of super-heavy elements. There is some conjecture from theory about an "island of stability" where super-dense elements above 118 become more stable, with half-lives in human terms like many seconds (rather than microseconds or nanoseconds). If so it would open all sorts of doors for physics and chemistry experiments on super heavy elements we can't do today because they disappear too quickly. It has even been suggested that these elements are effectively stable and account for some of what we call dark matter. (That one is unlikely.). Though really the chances are that such elements destroy themselves so quickly they can't be usefully examined.
I think the fundamental problem is that for every claim yielding a positive result there are many more, perhaps infinitely more, related claims yielding negative results.

Positive result claim: the sun comes up in the morning.

Negative result claims: the sun moves sideways in the morning. The sun was always there. The sun peeks up in the morning and immediately goes back down. And so on.

Positive result claim: aspirin is an effective pain reliever.

Negative result claims: eating sawdust is an effective pain reliever. Snorting water is an effective pain reliever. Crystal Healing is an effective pain reliever. Etc.

Because there are so many negative results, it's trivial to construct an experiment which produces one. So why should that be published?

Negative results should be published when people in the community are asking that question, or have a wrong belief in the answer (hence the replication crisis). But if nobody cares about the question, it's hard to argue for why a given negative result would be preferred over any other negative result for purposes of publication.

There is a major issue of limited resources to replicate results, in terms of both time and funding. For example: I would assume that most important results are replicated. As a concrete example, if someone identifies a medication that (in one small trial) shows a statistically significant effect in curing some serious medical condition, then this will drive further replication attempts. On the other hand, if someone publishes a study showing that holding a pen in your mouth makes you 1% likelier to do well on the PSATs, this study will probably languish without replication for a decade — because honestly who cares? It’s basically a curiosity. I can’t help but notice that many of the headline results that characterize the “replication crisis” were small-effect-size social science experiments that fundamentally weren’t that important outside of popular science news.

I’m not saying that our current allocation of resources is optimal. I am pointing out that our resources are finite and “replicate everything” is not even a remotely practical allocation of those resources.

While I have a Visa just in case (AMEX isn't accepted everywhere), I nonetheless have disdain for Visa and Mastercard (I don't have the latter).

AMEX doesn't care what I'm spending on so long as it's legal (obviously) and it's actually me doing the spending. Visa/Mastercard care far too much about how I spend money, which is frankly none of their business so long as I properly pay the bills (which I do).

AMEX is in the business of moving money between customer and merchant and performs their job exceptionally, so I'll always use them over Visa/Mastercard when possible.

Hasn't this always been the case? Haven't they always been dependent on credits and subsidies to make a profit?

Tesla's received almost $3 billion in state and federal subsidies and half a billion in bailouts[0] (and has more violations[1] than most other companies of its size). Additionally, they regularly engage in probably illegal accounting practices like categorizing automobile warranty expenses as part of the "Goodwill" category rather than the cost of making the vehicle leading to a huge inflation of Tesla's claimed gross margin

> Still my favorite way to play, but you have to have time, talent, and interest in 2-3 disparate, full-time jobs.

Not sure they are full-time all the time, but definitely to be a one-person show you have to have or acquire skills in all of these.

One of my favorite things about my time consulting is how sharp it makes you. Sharp about tech, sharp about listening to customers, sharp about keeping your network alive, sharp about meeting and keeping in touch with new people.

So easy as an employee to dive into the company and not look around for years.
> Especially I find it confusing that the term mutable reference is sometimes used to mean a reference to a mutable place.

It always means this- unlike C, the mutability of a place is not part of its type, so if you're talking about the reference itself being mutable that will be tracked somewhere else.
I upvoted you, but also wanted to add:

Hopefully you also warn them about the opiates that their doctor will cheerfully prescribe.

Frankly, if the opiate epidemic taught us anything it's that there's probably lower risk in your teenagers taking an edible at a party than getting an overly aggressive codeine prescription from their doc after breaking their arm.

I'm not really arguing with you, education of kids is key. But legality is such a poor yardstick. See: opiates, tobacco, and alcohol - super damaging, extremely habit forming, yet completely legal and even culturally acceptable.

Meanwhile, LSD is treated like fentanyl (literally the same Control Substances Act schedule - the highest #1) and is pushed underground where it's adulterated by god knows what, even though a small gov-sanctioned lab could easily produce the entire country's supply of entirely pure substance in a few weeks.

I don't know what the answer is, but surely it's more nuanced than drugs=bad, legal=fine, doctor-perscribed=no-risk. (I'm not saying you're arguing these points, I'm just channelling the zeitgeist as I see it).

Unironically I use React or htmx with Typescript if I need a UI in front of dotnet. Having spent far too long dealing with all the dotnet thrash, all to build a GUI that only works on Windows desktops, I said enough is enough and learned how to build a web front end.

Best decision ever. I know plenty of dotnet folks who would rather eat a shoe than learn how to build a web front end, but frankly it's still better than what I would get with Winforms. There's so many great free libraries, tutorials, and resources for webdev.

And best of all, now I have something I can host on a free GitHub site and share with people, instead of figuring out how to build an installer.

I'm really unsure if it's a good idea given the current geopolitics.

Open-Source Code in the past was fantastic because the West had a monopoly on CPUs and computers. Sharing and contributing was amazing while ensured that tyrants couldn't use this tech to harm people simply because they don't have a hardware to run.

But now, things are different. China is advancing in chip technology, and Russia is using open-source AI to harm people on the scale today, with auto-targeting drones being just the start. Red sea conflict etc.

And somehow, Zuckerberg keeps finding ways to mess up people's lives, despite having the best intentions.

Right now you can build a semi-autonomous drone with AI to kill people for ~$500-700. The western world will still use safe and secure commercial models. While new axis of evil will use models based on Meta or any other open source to do whatever harm they can imagine with not a hint of control.

This particular model. Fine-tune it to develop a nuclear bomb using all possible research that level of government can get on the scale. Killing drone swarms etc. Once the knowledge got public these models can be a base model to get expert-level knowledge to anyone who wants it, uncensored. Especially if you are government that wants to destroy a peaceful order for whatever reason.
PS. Also titled: "Why do we need a new Definition of Open Source just for AI?"
You can't really fine-tune quantized models as-is. Gradients require floating-point calculations at descent precision.
DSLs ("microlanguages", at the time) were a big idea in the late 80s - by being expressive in ways closer to the problem, they could leave out irrelevant things and the bugs they lead to. (Do you really want to have to explicitly call malloc() in your build tools? and does gdb really feel like the right tool for debugging one?)
I've already run into issues in the past where Arduino libraries and scripts that I wanted to use were written with older architectures in mind and wouldn't compile on newer boards. It was not clear to me from this article but is this going to be another architectural shift/change with similar difficulties for older libraries and scripts?
