Speaking of enums, what's a better serialization framework for C++ like Serde in Rust, and then what about Linked Data support and of course also form validation.

Linked Data triples have (subject, predicate, object) and quads have (graph, subject, predicate, object).

RDF has URIs for all Subjects and Predicates.

RDF Objects may be URIs or literal values like xsd:string, xsd:float64, xsd:int (32bit signed value), xsd:integer, xsd:long, xsd:time, xsd:dateTime, xsd:duration.

RDFS then defines Classes and Properties, identified by string URIs.

How best to get from an Enum with (type,attr, {range of values}) to an rdfs:range definition in a schema with a URI prefix?

Python has dataclasses which is newer than attrs, but serde also emits Python pickles
It might be easy to extract this period from a potential victim, since the information would have to get delivered to them in some way.

I think it would already help a lot, that there are some physical limitations on how many people you could gather at the same time.
I don't see where it's remotely useful, the idea sounds fun but it's not praticle.

Explain how it is better vs having a simple cli that parse args and store that into SQLite.
Not following your argument. You start by talking about tools with a network effect which is totally irrelevant for something like a text editor (assuming it supports common formats like utf-8). Then you talk about tools being simple to use making them popular, which I never disputed.
>The countries in the American continent start to count from when they were invaded by Europeans

That's because it is hard to learn about pre-Columbian America because we have very little writing from that period -- mainly because they didn't write much down compared to for example how much was recorded in writing by people in China 3,000 years ago.
> Seems an interesting engineering project, but like a terrible product.

Couldn't you say that about half the stuff posted here?

To me that's the "product" - an interesting engineering project targeted at people like us; a starting point for learning that can be taken further and those advancements potentially fed back into it, like all good open source projects.

As that kind of product, similar to a large chunk everything else built around RPi's and arduino's posted here (and... celebrated), it looks great to me and I don't get the hate. I was really excited to see it.

> Why would such a person want to have a robot which does away with that?

The same reason they want the many, often entirely pointless automations posted here daily, only this is not just fun, but also useful?

If this actually produces enough consumable food reliably (idk if it does, and be nice to see criticism along that angle), maybe also the cost could be justified?

IIRC it's ~$3K for the base model, seems it could pay for itself in a year or so if it could supply a years worth of fresh veges to a couple of people, depending on the local cost (which can vary a lot).
>I really like how small this phone is

At 74mm wide, it's as wide as most android phones, and noticeably bigger than "smaller" mainstream phones like the pixel 8 (70.8mm) or the S24 (70.6mm). True, it's much shorter than those phones, but for gripping ergonomics it's the width that matters the most.
It really reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin imitates his dad and says "Calvin, go do something you hate. Being miserable builds character!".

Yeah, I’ll update the README to be more specific about this. This is also why I didn’t provide instructions on how to use the tool :)
It dropped from 9th position to 85th position in about 30 minutes. So it appears that the mods or the HN algorithm weren't so happy about this.

ohhh I love your use of UNION to create a polymorphic-type ENTITY data structure. Nice work and design.

I still love futzing around in C...It was the original langauge I learned and God did I struggle with it for years. Like the OP mentioned, C is awesome because its such a concise language but you can go as deep as you like with it.

Thanks for all your efforts and the writeup...the game has a throwback Commander Keen-type vibe to it and I loved that franchise for a minute back in Carmack's pre-3D days.

such a pleasure to read. I've followed lcamtuf's work since the 90s and also now live rurally. this week's project was figuring out how to fell a large dead tree without being killed by its upper limbs breaking from the pressure release, and working on some home sigint tools for doing rural property security, but mostly to justify upgrading the rtl-sdr to an ettus. country life isn't for everyone, but you see the impacts of tech, economics, and cultural change more clearly in the country because they're more stark against the backdrop of natural rhythms and things that change at the pace of seasons.
For example https://2captcha.com/ https://anti-captcha.com/ https://www.capsolver.com/ https://deathbycaptcha.com/ https://nextcaptcha.com/ seems like about $1 for 1000 solutions

Can't they simply charge more premium and pay for the reinsurance? Uncertainty is where the premium comes from, and I would think insurance business in BRK should thrive with it.
I'm finding myself using the extensively in the learning way, but also I'm an extreme generalist. I've learned so many languages over 23 years, but remembering the ones I don't use frequently is hard. The LLMs become the ultimate memory aid. I know that I can do something in a given language, and will recognised that it's correct when I see it.

Together with increasingly powerful speech to text I find myself talking to the computer more and more.

There are flaws, there are weaknesses, and a bubble, but any dev that can't find any benefit in LLMs is just not looking.
I think that not only search has gotten worse. The Internet has also. It is full of spam, full of grifters, full of farms. Dead Internet has come true.

In pile of garbage it is hard to find interesting stuff.

That is why we have HN, reddits. We are trying to find interesting stuff using collective effort. In some cases, this collective effort also is being monetized, so people are disenchanted with such solutions.

You can create your own reddit clones, but it will not work our, because you do not have the user base / count.

I tried collecting domain names at least: https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

I'm not sure where you're getting your 100-year crystal ball. Instead of hating on them (which coincidentally is exactly what Putin wants us to do,) why don't we try to break the problem down?

The biggest difference between the Chinese system and ours is not the selection of leaders, which is a lot more "democratic" there than in many of our allies like Saudi Arabia. It's tolerance for dissent.

The trick is that the CCP (which at this point is about as communist as Quaker Oats is Quaker) don't have to shed their power base to do it. They just have to have more than one, without horribly repressing the others.

In practice, countries can end up having a dominant party while being actually democratic, like Mexico and South Africa did for a long time (or Oklahoma and California for that matter.) Often, the dominant party meddles with the media and stacks the deck in their favor. The rest of the world grumbles but keeps playing along.

I think ruling elites find it hard to even entertain the notion of dismantling a conformist monoculture. It is a mixed bag from their perspective, and they're technically not wrong: they'll have to deal with e.g. populist morons, foreign-backed candidates, and political disruption. But it's for the best for their country and the planet.

A coup or rebellion isn't needed. It's much more likely to play out as a set of reforms pushed by "visionary leaders," like Perestroika in the mid-80s. This is what we should be pushing for, in front of and behind the scenes.
Capitalism would absolutely love to give you delicious and peak-quality tomatoes. If consumers were willing to pay the additional cost needed to harvest and handle more heirloom-variety tomatoes, there would be a huge incentive to provide them.

If people aren't willing to pay the premium needed, then the revealed preference is for the easily harvestable varieties. Farmers markets and local producers that sell to fewer people who will pay that premium are likewise capitalism's answer to this problem (i.e. saying "Industrial agriculture can't meet the consumers' needs, but local farmers can.")

Capitalism need not be industrial-scale, it just needs to fill consumer demand somehow (which is why small business are so crucial)
Speaking of bad faith conversations…

According to people who complained about guilds, sure.

But let's not forget that fraud and incompetence are extremely common across history. And also that the very concept of universities derived from guilds.

So in a sense we do still have, and rely on, a guild system today.
Good heirloom tomatos are almost like a berry. So juicy and flavorful. There’s nothing like it. Maybe you need seeds from American growers.
I don't think the proposed measures really help

Myself and many others walk away from their vehicles while charging

This would be more realistic, and everyone can still understand it, so it is another good example. The point was to provide an extreme system to highlight the value of simplicity in the dynamics of trust in a voting system.
To be honest, the whole use of the Li function before defining it made me stop reading.

As a college student trying to figure out where I wanted to go next (industry vs academia) I had an epiphany that there was intrinsic value in doing things. Even things that were neither novel (academia), profitable (industry), nor impactful (nonprofits).

While my career has found a balance between impact and financial sustainability, I have a special place in my heart for projects that are otherwise unnecessary but happen just because it brings the creator joy.
Bingo. Never thought it would get this popular and I am not using an architecture that autoscales elegantly. I'm adding more RAM and CPU cores to see if that helps.
Yes, Hubble was supposed to be brought back to the Earth periodically for upgrades, but of course that never happened. Shuttle fans like to point to the Hubble servicing missions as proof of the spaceplane's value, but those servicing missions were probably more expensive than just launching a new space telescope to replace Hubble.
My understanding is that this has less to do with the specific location the tomatoes are grown, and more to do with the distance from the point of consumption they are grown. If the tomatoes have to travel a long distance, they will be picked before ripe so that they are more hardy during transit. Unfortunately this significantly alters the taste for the worse. I don't really live in the U.S. anymore, but I used to pay extra for "tomatoes still on the vine" which would be a small step up. The best of course were those grown in your own garden.
Perfect demonstration video, thanks for that.

For about 20 years, chess fans would hold "centaur" tournaments. In those events, the best chess computers, who routinely trounced human grandmasters, teamed up with those same best-in-the-world humans and proceeded to wipe both humans and computers off the board. Nicholas is describing in detail how he pairs up with LLMs to get a similar result in programming and research.

Sobering thought: centaur tournaments at the top level are no more. That's because the computers got so good that the human half of the beast no longer added any meaningful value.

I'm sincerely fascinated by your perspective. I haven't heard this viewpoint before.

Why do you think nature is perfect? I.e. what is your "gold standard" against which you measure?

Something that immediately comes to mind for me is all the death and suffering that is abundant through nature. If the only thing that matters is propagation of life, then nature does seem pretty good at it, but as a being that operates some layers above the selfish gene, it seems far from perfect.

Hmm, not sure, I think it would be possible to mark a function with a pragma as "constant time", and the compiler could make sure that it indeed is that. I think it wouldn't be impossible to actually teach it to convert branched code into unbranched code automatically for many cases as well.
Essentially, the compiler pass must try to eliminate all branches, and the code generation must make sure to only use data-constant-time ops.
It could warn/fail when it cannot guarantee it.
It's not only home grown, you need the right seed too. I'm almost sure you didn't have one. Earlier tomato varieties are simply discontinued because of low yield, short shelf life etc.
Countering advanced bits is a game of economics. Sure, we know that they can solve the captchas, but they usually can’t do so for free. Eg. Typical captcha solver services are around $1/thousand solved. Depending on the unit economics of a particular bot that might be cheap or it might completely destroy the business model. I’ve definitely seen a lot of professionally operated bots where they invest a lot of effort into solving the fewest captchas possible to keep the cost down.

That captchas are completely useless is a popular myth.
Don't expect them to unravel the mystery of the tocharians.

neovim with the gp.nvim plugin.

Allows you to open chats directly in a neovim window. Also, allows you to select some text and then run it with certain prompts (like "implement" or "explain this code"). Depending on the prompt you can make the result appear directly inside the buffer you're currently working on. The request to the ChatGPT API also is enriched with the file-type.

That’s some next-level irony. Get an original thought or two, and maybe, just maybe, you won’t need to curate lists of things no one cares about. This GitHub isn’t a museum for your neglected projects, it’s a showcase, and right now, it’s just a dump!
Sorry! Adding more compute ASAP. Didn't expect it to get this popular.
I don't think you are right. If you test LLM text and random internet text for inaccuracies and utility, you'd probably find more luck with LLM text.

For example, if you use a LLM to summarize this whole debate, you would get a decent balanced report, incorporating many points of view. Many times the article generated from the chat thread is better than the original one. Certainly better grounded in the community of readers, debunks claims, represents many perspectives.

That reminds me of a just for fun plugin I wrote for my (long dead) Dropbox-like file sync solution Syncany that would store the shared files as PNG images on Flickr.

At the time, Flickr and Google Picasa (now Photos) gave you like 1T of image storage for free, so I thought it'd be a dope backend. It worked really really well actually... And it was nice to see your data as images. Though since the files were packed and encrypted, it just looked like static.

Here's the plugin if anyone's interested: https://github.com/syncany/syncany-plugin-flickr/tree/develo...

Wow. That's 10 years old. Time flies.

Edit: This PNG encoder is the meat: https://github.com/syncany/syncany-plugin-flickr/blob/develo...
Yeah, differentiating these infinite sums to pull down polynomial factors is a familiar trick.

It happens in basic moment generating function manipulations (e.g., higher moments of random variables). Or from z-transforms in signal processing (z transforms of integrals or derivatives). And (a little less obvious, but still the same) from Fourier analysis.

The concept applies to any moment generating function, z-transform, whatever. It’s clearest for the geometric distribution, where the distribution itself has the geometric form (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeometricDistribution.html, around equation 6).

I agree that the Li function seems like a detour, but maybe it can make some of the manipulation easier?
The PRC wouldn't have to relinquish military control, or really any control for that matter. The "Union" is basically the portion of control that Taiwan has already ceded to China. The key is that Taiwan retains the rest for the time being.

30C of cooling is pretty clearly ludicrous.

And geoengineering to spew more CO2 into the atmosphere won't really work and is idiotic enough, it won't happen. I guess I didn't understand that line of argument because of how ridiculous it is.

Much more likely that Europe just switches to energy-intensive hydroponic farming and to imports for whatever that doesn't work for.

> Apple bet big on proprietary ARM chips, but now Qualcomm has commoditized this space.

In my opinion, their bet on proprietary ARM chips was a success. They're a full generation ahead of Qualcomm, and they were able to successfully market their laptops based on superior battery life far before the Windows market caught up (which they're just starting to do now). That bought them a big lead.

But more importantly, they now have in house experience designing chips that will be an advantage if they want to innovate in new categories.

I've noticed this as well. I think it's a pretty good analogy. That realization came after being homeschooled for a few years as a teen. In my case, this meant less opportunity to socialize. After returning to public school, my "level of fitness" increased pretty quickly to way it's consider normal/healthy. The pandemic had similar effects that required a bit of effort to correct.

Just like physical fitness, some need more/less exercise to stay fit. There will also be different preferences for were that exercise is done (at or outside the office).
