Wow, very unfair. It should not be surprising that people writing Python might actually care about performance, even if it isn't so important that they must write their software in assembly.

The code wasn't the authors, and what's more it's just an example to talk about the bytecode. Everyone knows `min(some_list)` is faster and more Pythonic.

This is a very interesting article and probably exposed a few people to a few interesting Python internals.
And what's a typical milk-white Asturian/Galician with freckels for you? An alien?

Wait until you find towns in Andalusia with far more blondes than in London, because, oh wait, something-someting Reconquista happened from North to South.

To a mid-Northern Spaniard, Flamenco it's as alien to us as it would be for a Central European, because our folk traditions aren't Morisco/Gypsy at all.

For instance, Northern Spain has Celtic culture with bagpipes, rain, green fields, cider and music pretty much non-Flamenco. Fast, uplifting and uprooted on happiness instead of sorrow and despair.
A lot of us like boring and "like the past". I leave the experimental stuff to the younglings. Show me something with more utility or a new paradigm and I'm more than willing to give it a go. As it is cosmic desktop is fine and works well for me and has for a couple of years
Ah sorry, should have put that in the blog post. This leverages Triton heavily, so it'll only work on machines that have Triton backends (at least, we've tested on Nvidia and AMD GPUs)

Right. Which also demonstrates why the latter type of ad tends to be much more effective, even though both technically say the same thing.

So, it seems to me that we have two different discussions trying to compete here:

- The acceptability of false advertising.

- The acceptability of advertising that attempts to evoke emotions.

While you are not wrong in noticing that these examples also exhibit false advertising, that is staring to move away from the original discussion, which was about preying on insecurities.

> Can you think of a non-cure-all example for which this argument holds?

How about we turn to the ad that shows up on just about every HN page? It will be well-familiar to everyone here. Here are two variants on one of those ads (with a little paraphrasing on my part):

- "Rust: It will protect your memory!"

- "Still programming in C like it is 1972? The hackers are going to get you. Secure your programs with Rust!"

My understanding from earlier in the thread is that only the first example should be allowed according to the beliefs of those who participated. But, I must say, I'm far more compelled by the latter. It addresses problems I understand deep down when programming in C and then offers a solution. The "It will protect your memory" doesn't tell me much. Why do I need my memory protected? Next.

Assuming only the latter ad catches my attention, which I think is a decent assumption based on what we've seen in this very thread and around ad response behaviour in general, is it possible that the consumer actually benefits from the latter?
Maybe I meant the people who like soccer instead of football (or viceversa). Why does everything have to be about race?
Seriously. Such a shame
In my experience, Bazel is great if you are a Google-sized company that can afford to have an entire team of at least 5-10 engineers doing nothing but working on your build system full time.

But I've watched it be insanely detrimental to the productivity of smaller companies and teams who don't understand the mountain of incidental complexity they're signing up for when adopting it. It's usually because a startup hires an ex-Googler who raves about how great Blaze is without understanding how much effort is spent internally to make it great.
Now try with a for loop.
The unemployment rate for US-born workers is literally the lowest it has ever been in history. You're going to need evidence, not thought experiments.
It isn't so simple.

Meanwhile, the community still does not have access to the historical source code repository, which should by all means have been open sourced ages ago by Cloanto, who definitely has the right (and moral obligation) to do so.

What is the process node used? Who is fabbing this for them? Given that the new chip is bigger, my guess is the same (old) process node is being used. RP2040 is manufactured on a 40nm process node.

Whoops, I read the fine print: RP2350 is manufactured on a 40nm process node.
> Having to click through these confirmation nags every week, for every such utility you use, is not a little thing at all. It’s the sort of thing companies do when decisions like this are made by people looking to cover their asses, not make insanely great products.

... or alternatively, when agreeing to using such an app is such a huge privacy nightmare that it might just be safer (for the user) to ask the user to opt-in every week, especially if the company which runs the OS is known for promoting a privacy-friendly brand.
Just in case it's unclear, I'm not being serious here.

Still, it seems to me that the wording still allows for some rules lawyering.

When they say "directly power each wheel" they clearly mean the four wheels attached to the OEM axles.

But I think their wording is open to arguing that it's any four "wheels" of your choosing, and now that your drive axle has two wheels on each side...

The rest of the wording allows you to flip between arguing on the basis of your now-four wheel drive axle and the stock axle. After all, they're not saying "those two wheel or four wheels". Different sets of four wheels on your now six wheel car should satisfy all the criteria.

However, the mention of a transfer case is a showstopper. I shouldn't have mentioned 2WD.

But given the above contortions e.g. a BMW X5 with 216mm (8.7 inches) of clearance should qualify.

The manufacturer obstinately insists that it's not an AWD, but "xDrive". The gear ratio of the AT even is so low that you can idle at a standstill while in gear!

Can you attract experienced developers? Yes.

Do all of your developers need to be highly experienced? No.

EDIFACT is an old standard with lots of code floating around to parse it. I don’t know the ins/outs of its usage but an in-house team should be able to tackle this kind of data exchange without too much difficulty. You will likely want to ask candidates about experience with this data format explicitly. You can also ask about related data formats or information exchange in general but you’ll probably want at least one developer with solid experience with the format.
The people that has crossed the border are seeking asylum and have been estimated to be in 9 million and probably has something significant to do with the 90% more hispanic population growth since it’s predominantly Latinos crossing.

Yes I mentioned ECH. Correct me if I am wrong but none or almost none of the origin servers support it. Openssl, nginx, apache, haproxy, caddy AFAIK do not support it. The flow I am talking about is from Cloudflare to the origin server.
4WD is poorly defined, and the NPS shouldn't be using it, especially by trying to classify an AWD system as something of lesser capability. The SAE even recommends using the term AWD along with 8 different subclasses, none of which use the term 4WD. Jalopnik can hand-wave all they want about what the NPS "means" but the definition should be from a recognized standard if legal action is going to be taken.

True enough—but get the genetic diversity incorporated into rodent models—not just fully inbred C57BL/6J and Fischer 344.

And if the experimental design calls for replicable genometypes (cases and controls) then just use sets of diverse types of F1 hybrids.
yes, piqued. English, so weird! ;-)

That makes sense, it seems that my guess was wrong, thanks
It was a kernel-mode code issue however. The same design could be applied: customisations get put into duplicated read-only overlay images. Any boot issue automatically triggers a rollback, and a manual option is provided to roll back to the vanilla base image as well in the troubleshooting boot menu.
I was just referring to the sample code at the top. I should have clarified that and I apologize for the lack of clarity.

But, I would like to see the author use a for loop. I'm not why anyone would use a while loop of they know the constraints.
you are right, I was looking at something outdated. However, I think the ratio is still bad enough that it doesn’t matter to my original point.

Moving to HiP on LibreCUDA should probably be the first step for projects that are dependent on CUDA to gain platform freedom.
there was a highly similar project to this on HN a few months ago.

his previous project (infinite craft) was one of the first things i ever heard people talk about wrt LLMs.

His skill is in execution. I think he finds inspiration from the people around him.
Eh, you can easily deploy containers to EC2/GCE and have an autoscaling group/MIG with healthchecks. That's what I'd be doing for a first pass or if I had a monolith (a lot of business is still deploying a big ball of PHP). K8s really comes into its own once you're running lots of heterogeneous stuff all built by different teams. Software reflects organizational structure so if you don't have a centralized infra team you likely don't want container orchestration since it's basically your own cloud.
Does adding the Next SDK require every page to be server rendered? Can they still be statically cached and auth loaded only on the client?

That doesn't answer my question. It also confuses clustering with perfect homogeneity.
Look you found a use for it but that doesn't make them good devices. Why is it not also arrogant to believe these are generally good devices merely because you managed to find a sliver of very specific usefulness out of these otherwise underpowered overpriced restrictive devices?

I like plenty of devices that I don't recommend to other people. I'm not arrogant enough to believe that simply because I like it, it's a good device.

I don't think I'm uninformed; I know people with Chromebooks and they've given me their opinions. I also love devices in general and I wish Chromebooks were a better value.
I agree with you. It's a weird quirk of Python where localization is more efficient.
This saves a lot of time in post-processing.
I mean, sure, if you want BigTechCo to be your nanny, and not just let you use your computer, I guess that makes sense.

I prefer for my computer to give me sensible warnings and then let me make a decision, rather than refuse to allow my decision to stand.

Perhaps if the shoe were on the other foot, and Apple asked you every week if you were sure you wanted to backup to iCloud unencrypted, given that it is at least as much of a security and privacy nightmare, you’d be singing a different tune.
> Apple forces other chip manufacturers into exclusive deals to lock out the ability for 3rd party repair to be done cost effectively and reliably

How is this relevant to the chips TSMC manufactures? You can't exactly hand solder a 24nm feature.
Nope, just me, I promise.

It could have been shorter as it's not my target audience, not really able to edit it now.
Ultimately it will likely be easier to simulate eye-contact with live restyling – that is, synthesizing the view from a virtual 'camera' using one or more other cameras nearby – than physically hide a true camera inside a monitor. (Simulation could also signal eye-contact with any point on the screen, not just a single camera location.)

Nvidia, Apple, & others already have software for this, which will only get better.
If any of you LLM optimists want a project to try to justify those silicon fires I'd suggest starting with an automated service that converts all of the troves of academic material written in proprietary mathematical source code (mathematica) into open alternatives (sage, python).

Define easier. With whose capital would you like to build more houses with?

The people coming over the border are doing so to escape poverty and harsh conditions from their respective country. I don’t think telling them to go buy a new house is gonna work at current US prices, and if you want the government to provide these new houses, then you really need to consider what the effect would be on inflation housing 9 million people at the current housing market would be.

I'm always shocked at how much performance we leave on the table in these places. I did a super quick benchmark in python[0] and go [1] (based on necovek's[2] comment) and ran them both locally. The go implementation runs the entire benchmark quicker than the fastest of the python ones.

The deviation in go's performance is still large, but far less so than Python's. Making the "wrong" choice for a single function call (bearing in mind that this is 10k iterations so we're still in the realm of scales even a moderate app can hit) in python is catastrophic, making the wrong choice for go is a significant slowdown but still 5x faster than doing it in Python. That sort of mental overhead is going to be everywhere, and it certainly doesn't encourage me to want to use python for a project.

15+ years ago many people would tell you that you should do “from foo import bar” instead of “import foo” to save the overhead inherent in referencing “bar” as “foo.bar”. Well, as almost everything in Python is in the end an dict, the dict implementation is ridiculously optimized (and in some counter-intuitive ways), so if you care about that overhead you probably should not be using (C)Python in the first place.

This “everything is a dict” is also a part of why removing GIL is not as straightforward as it would seem.
Ah, so my answer rooted to the ground isn't valid? Ok, keep being deluded.
For most Spaniards Andalusia it's anything else with alien culture, totally alien to the Northern (and even the Castilles, as Castilians are infamous of being reservated and rural-calm as they were basically the Farmlandia of Spain) and if you tried to picture Galicia with some flamenco guitarist we would stare at you as it you had a stroke.
I hope they just cut their losses and sell the program to Blue Origin, they're a deep pocketed company who'd love to say they have an orbital vehicle
Also probably worth mentioning that a lot of the automotive chip shortages were a result of industry-specific factors:

1) Auto manufacturers incorrectly predicted that the pandemic would result in much lower sales, and reduced their component orders accordingly. When auto sales stayed stronger than expected, they were forced to buy those parts on the open market - reducing the number available to other customers.

2) A couple of major semiconductor manufacturers had incidents at their facilities (most notably, a fire at a Renesas fab) which limited production.
For me red flag is that for OP as a developer I will end up being a cost.

Even with all the good words he wrote how company can improve by doing own dev - reality is that company makes money in logistics and as a software dev I would be second class citizen and cost center.

I wonder what my personal breaking point is with macOS. Apple already sells chronically underpowered hardware compared to the competition and you have to just be content with the fact that it's attractive hardware, silent, and sips power instead of chugging it like the others.

Agent-service-toolkit: Run an AI agent as a service (OSS)
agent-service-toolkit is a new open source toolkit for running an AI agent as a service using LangGraph, FastAPI and Streamlit.

Try the app: https://agent-service-toolkit.streamlit.app/

I wanted to build a few agents for personal projects using the Compound AI Systems approach, and found that LangGraph is the most advanced framework with the features I needed today. But serving and interacting with the agent was still painful and complicated.

I built agent-service-toolkit to solve this problem so I can focus on just the agent logic and core AI systems for my projects in the future. The service is async-first with FastAPI. The repo also includes a Streamlit app for easy sharing and rapid iteration.

It's a template repo intended to be copied / forked and build or customize your own agent code.
The future has arrived. Firefox delivered another feature nobody asked for. Great, keep going, the future is bright.
For everyone with a “why don’t they just…?”-type suggestion, it’s worth carefully rereading TFA and considering what the macros do now and the problem they are trying to solve.

The macros now do type-safe comparisons that work correctly with combinations of different argument types where this is possible, work in a constant context (eg defining array bounds), work correctly in the face of implicit type coercion and include a 3-way min and max that have these same desirable properties (same as the two way min and max).

The problem(s) are it’s a bit slow to compile and the preprocessor expansion (although not necessarily the final generated assembly - didn’t see anyone saying that) is a bit bloated.

So when you make a “why don’t they just…. ?”-suggestion, make sure your suggestion is at least as good as what they have now in terms of the desirable functionality and correctness and then tackles the actual problems in some way. I’m not sure all of the suggestions I have seen here and in the lwn comments succeed at meeting those two criteria.
There must be a prohibitively expensive upfront cost to buy enough servers to do this. Plus bringing in all the skill that doesn't exist that can stand up and run something like they would require.

I wonder if as time goes on that skill to use hardware is dissappearing. New engineers don't learn it, and the ones that slowly forget. I'm not that sharp on anything I haven't done in years, even if it's in a related domain.
