Interesting. It sounds like “all” service state management (admin config, infra, topology) is discoverable/legible for meta. I think that contrasts with AWS where there is a strong DevTools org, but many services and integrations are more of an API centric service-to-service model with distributed state which is much harder to observe. Every cloud provider I know of also has a (externally opaque) division between “native” cloud-service-built-on-cloud-infra and (typically older) “foundational” services that are much closer to “bare metal” with their own bespoke provisioning and management. Ex EC2 has great visibility inside of their placement and launch flows, but itll never look like/interop with cfn & cloudtrail that ~280 other “native” services use.

Definitely agree that the bulk Of “impact” is back to changes introduced in the SDLC. Even for major incidents infrastructure is probably down to 10-20% of causes in a good org. My view in GP is probably skewed towards major incidents impairing multiple services/regions as well. While I worked on a handful of services it was mostly edge/infra side, and I focused the last few years specifically on major incident management.

Id still be curious about internal system state and faults due to issues like deadlocked workflows, incoherent state machines, and invalid state values. But maybe its simply not that prevalent.
Drakonhub is nice and support also a few other flowcharts too. I highly recommand their very clear documentation to learn about Drakon.
I think you are misunderstanding my message.

This should never be the norm. But when the work is challenging and non-trivial something like this happens once in a while.
Well, requiring copyright assignment (not just a CLA) is in their published rules for using Savannah, and something almost all major GNU/FSF projects did in the past. Even if it's now something they merely encourage rather than require (and I'd be interested to see a public confirmation of this) my point stands.
ElectricSQL before their announced rewrite worked fully offline and could sync when the clients became online again. Now, that functionality with their rewrite is somewhat removed, as they expect you to handle clientside writes by yourself, which is what I believe PowerSync does as well, am I correct in that understanding? If I wanted a fully offline clientside database that could then sync to all the other clients when online, what would I do? I am looking for this in the context of a Flutter app, for reference.
Anyone that needs access to cheap power. So, basically anyone with high energy bills. That's why there's going to be a surplus.

People put solar on their roof not to get rich from selling power back to the grid (though that is a nice incentive) but to avoid having to buy expensive power from the grid. For the same reason factories might put solar panels on their roofs. Car charging companies might invest in some solar panels, etc. And of course power companies themselves also like the idea of swapping out expensive gas generators for solar panels plus batteries.

There’s one problem with this model. Let’s say I’m running a pre-revenue startup and I want to use the self-hosted version of CockroachDB. The license allows me to do it for free until I get to $10M annual revenue. Well, that’s great and all but I’d like to know how much I’ll pay once I do reach those numbers. However, the pricing for self-hosted offering is a secret, it’s “pricing upon request” – I have no way to estimate these expenses and thus no way to estimate if CockroachDB is a reasonable choice for my startup in the long term.
That's why you wait a while before raising the SBAT requirements, so both of your distros can be updated. Microsoft waited two years, for instance.

Do OpenAI and Claude support OAuth? I don't think they do (except for simple bearer tokens on API calls).
The Inspiration:
I noticed influencers struggling to share location details with their followers during travels. Spotli.st was born to solve this problem by centralizing all favorite spots in one place.

Key Features:
- Create detailed spots with rich information
- Highlight spots for potential monetization (great for influencer-merchant collaborations!)
- Customizable themes for your personal touch
- Custom domain linking for a professional look
- Comprehensive analytics for your page and spots

Future Plans:
- Implementing a "Discover" page with AI for location recommendations
- Adding an interactive map to profile pages for easy spot visualization

Let's make sharing and discovering amazing places easier than ever!

Thank you for checking out Spotli.st. I'm here to answer any questions you might have!
I wasted too much time and energy trying to look for an answer to this, and the only one I ended up with was:

Frontend at higher risk, but other than that it doesn't really matter. If LLMs continue to succeed, no dev field is safe. We might all have to become product managers or systems analysts.

There is nowhere within dev that you can safely pivot to, because the most in-demand fields also have the biggest datasets (from online/PDF content) and if LLMs replace frontend dev roles, it won't be long before they effectively replace or transform backend roles, DevOps, SRE, gamedev, etc. It all largely depends on whether or not we hit a ceiling in the next 2-3 years as the next frontier models are released. If we're still rapidly progressing by then, it won't matter because by the time you've learned a whole new domain, Claude Opus N will be around the corner to catch up to you. If we do hit a ceiling, then it won't matter because, well, we hit a ceiling. So you can stay in your favorite dev field for the time being.
Also known as graph data, defined by nodes and edges, this concept is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of Agentic Applications, also referred to as AI Agents. Traditionally, people approach development through no-code, low-code, or pro-code methods. However, when it comes to AI Agents, there’s been a notable shift toward flow or graph representations. But why is that?
Further, simply emailing and asking for a quote results in them asking about your whole business model and infrastructure; likely so they can extract as much as possible from you. This was the point we stopped communicating with them and chose a different vendor.
They don’t - which is a shame, I’d love to be able to bounce a user through an OAuth flow and then make API calls using their token such that their activity is billed to them directly.

I've actually noticed something similar on my GPU. Not sure if it's the same thing but whenever I'm playing Minecraft it makes a weird sound I don't really know how to describe, but as soon as I navigate away the sound goes away (some performance mods probably halt it's execution/rendering when not in focus).

I'm very curious about what exactly makes the sound and how it works. Glad to know it isn't only me because for some time I was afraid my GPU was defective :^)
Nerds of the era would have made a joke about that, but it would be inappropriate nowadays.
I am a doctor, so let me give you the perspective from the other side.

A friend of mine who works in primary care has a policy of not prescribing semaglutide unless a patient has tried at least three months of diet/exercise first. She now has a long list of patients who decide to screw that and self-refer to a specialist who'd write them the script. I don't work in primary care myself, but this more or less matches my own experience - 95% of people do not want to put in the effort of changing diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits. They want a quick fix.

In the words of Ronnie Coleman, "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights."

So I really do think the popularity of semaglutide is a bottom up phenomenon. There is has been huge consumer demand for a weight loss drug for decades, and pharma is only now meeting that demand.

> doctors having intimate financial relationships with pharma is already a public secret

A small number of elite doctors have intimate relationships with pharma. The other 99% who are prescribing semaglutide do not profit from it. In fact, it's the other way around. You can't bill for the act of prescribing medications, but there are dedicated billing codes for counseling a patient on diet/lifestyle modification.

They had to use duck DNA and not pig DNA because, as everyone already knows, pig and elephant DNA just don’t splice.
I think posting the original papers here would generally not be useful. I am a scientist, specifically in quantum information theory and I can't read scientific papers in other fields without a significant amount of time and effort. If you show me a paper in cosmology or virology or number theory I'm generally not going to be able to follow it (unless I put in a decent amount of time studying the stuff it's based on).

I think the same is true of almost everyone on this website (maybe we have a couple of polymaths around). Popular science like quanta performs a useful service in making stuff which would otherwise be somewhat inaccessible to me, much much less so.
> Imagine being able to reverse autoimmune disorders

That would be awesome. Perhaps if it were possible dump the state of memory B cells (I'm wondering if flow cytometry can do this), classify and inventory immunoglobulins, filter them out via perfusion, and custom program naive B cells and add them back to the body. Memory T cell types seem way messier but some should be tunable with epigenetic levers. We will eventually learn how to hack the adaptive immune system, but it's going to take a lot of research time and effort to produce to a specific autoimmune therapy for a specific clinical problem likely customized to a single individual.
Hey Hackers,

I'm Li Yin ([GitHub](https://github.com/liyin2015)), the author of AdalFlow and a former AI researcher at Meta AI.

AdalFlow was inspired by a viral [LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/li-yin-ai_both-ai-research-an...) I made, discussing how the LLM ecosystem lacks a shared library that bridges the gap between research and product development—similar to how PyTorch has streamlined model training and adaptation.

I decided to build this library while working on my product, a conversational search engine called [Sylph](https://sylph.ai/). After trying out existing libraries and finding that I had to write everything myself, I ended up with a solution that was lighter, faster, and offered more control. However, managing the codebase soon became overwhelming.

AdalFlow is based on my vision for the future of LLM applications, which I see as a three-stage workflow:

- *V1*: Use the library to quickly build your initial task pipeline, getting you 70-80% of the way to production.
- *V2*: Auto-optimize the prompt to push an additional 10%, bringing your product to a near-ready state without the hassle of manual prompt iteration.
- *V3*: Leverage V2 to label more data. As more users interact with your product, the next step is to fine-tune the LLM, further optimizing for speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

We've completed V1 and V2. Our auto-optimizer can enhance GPT-3.5 performance to match that of GPT-4, making any task nearly production-ready. Our architecture is the most robust, lightweight, and modular, with our auto-optimizer being the most accurate—even when compared to Dspy and Text-Grad. We have three research papers coming out soon that will explain how we achieved this. This is the first time the library has been released ahead of the research papers.

It’s definitely worth checking out—you might be surprised by the results. We've had similar experiences using PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning.

To learn more about our optimizer, visit: https://adalflow.sylph.ai/use_cases/classification.html.

Best,

Li
Microsoft really hates its power users and thinks they can get away with abusing its users. And they’re right - they can get away with it due to their market position, which is inherently anti competitive due to their size and number of products they own. The only solution is to break them up and tax them heavily. There is no working free competition for them after all.

> The only seemingly verifiable claim I can find to DRAKON's lineage in aerospace has to do with the Fregat upper stage

It's not verifiable. It's once again co-authored by Drakon's author, and there is no other independent confirmation that any of his claims are true.

On the contrary, the main Drakon discussion forum has multiple threads and discussions trying and failing to even produce the simplest algorithms in Drakon. Much less anything as complex as aerospace requirements.

Drakon's author himself repeatedly fails to answer any questions about how to implement stuff in Drakon, and only answers with pseudo philosophical demagoguery.

The only notable software produced for Drakon is Drakon Editor https://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/ which is essentially a UML editor with code concatenation

1. There's no evidence that Drakon was used in aerospace industry beyond claims made by a single person: Drakon's author

2. Drakon is pushed as a generic programming tool despite: lacking generic programming facilities, lacking any tooling to actually produce working programs on any platform (except a single hobbyist implementation which is a UML editor with code concatenation: https://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/drakon-erlang/silh.htm...)
No. Youre missing the UX forest for the pedantry trees here. Ive worked on a team that did similar change detection with little to no ML magic. It matters how its presented as a hint (“top five suggested”) and not THE ANSWER. In addition its VERY common to do things like present confidence or weight to the user. And why theres a huge need for explainability.

And this is just part of the diagnosis process. The system should still be providing breadcrumbs or short cuts for the user to test the suggested hypothesis.

Which is why any responsible system like this will include feedback loops and evaluation of false positive/negative outcomes and tune for sensitivity & specificity over time.

I just want to highlight that this is very much an opinion. Many people switch to Linux to avoid pains that Windows inflicts on them.

Ironically it is power users that I tend to see having the most "problems" with Linux. I helped switch over several nontechnical family members to Linux, and tech support burden on me is almost nonexistent (yes, this surprised me too).

Just purchase well-supported hardware (plenty of resources online these days to determine this before you buy), and install one of the user-friendly distros such as Mint or PopOS. Never open a terminal and tinker with things. It's rock solid.
Yes, indeed.-

MS should be cautious.

Browser apps don't care about the OS on which the browser is running on.
It's a trolley problem, and it's not in Microsoft's locus of control to keep dual boot systems dual booting. So they don't try.

They have never, ever supported anything other than the Microsoft bootloader[s], and if you work around that for instance it's pretty trivial to blow up your data by hibernating Windows and booting into a different partition. Resuming hibernation loads the old MFT onto the modified partition and you pretty much lose everything.
What most people don't know is that patients are terrible. I'm not a doctor but I know some doctors and patients.

This is easily seen in T2D which is mostly diet related and fixable.
I agree 100%. I firmly hold the belief that the two paradigms are just different perspectives of looking at the same thing (state and behavior). Also see https://insearchofsecrets.com/2014/08/04/lisp-smalltalk-and-...

> escape is undignified

According to what would-be objective judgement? Under a threshold you fight; over a threshold you flee. It is just sensible. Dignity may or may not be impacted, heightened or lowered - it depends on details.

> can technology ever enhance dignity

Of course tools and devices are meant to enhance dignity, we build them for a purpose - to serve us and assist.

> We've seemingly built a system (society) in which material and social success hinge on a willingness to forgo dignity. People who have a strong sense of dignity are disadvantaged and marginalised

Very correct. (Careful with those «we».)

> To the margins

Of what is not your society? Look at reality. It is a procustean coexistence of squirrels and Men. There will probably be societies less vile.

Getting weight off temporarily is generally helpful for getting weight off permanently.

For someone who is 100+ pounds overweight, losing a big chunk of that has a whole set of knock on effects (lower appetite, ability to actually exercise without pain, more general energy, fewer depressive episodes, etc.), that help make permanent weight loss a lot more achievable. In addition, semaglutide can be tried before a doctor would normally do a gastric bypass (and probably makes that operation a lot easier even if it doesn't completely work).

And, before you go blaming everyone that their dietary choices are their own fault, do be aware that the total number of fat cells is highly conserved in the human body. In addition, fat cells "remember" the weight when they were created and only turn over at about 20-25% per year. If you were obese in adolescence and teenage years due to the habits your parents taught you, that can be really difficult to correct as an adult.

Sure, these kinds of drugs are wrong for losing those 20 pounds that you should remove via diet, some extra exercise and some lifestyle changes. Yeah, a lot of people are stupidly using these drugs from dumb reasons instead of what they should be using them for.

That doesn't make the drugs useless.

That's why the British Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society and the Canadian Pediatric Society all were in total agree-- wait they weren't.

And the Cass Review cites a lot of studies in alignment with the study quality in a minority population -- oh wait, it disregards over 100 studies outright, putting a bar where it can't possibly be met, and then ignored that requirement for the body of studies that agree with her preexisting ideas.

Because it's so easy to defend the Cass review, you used your established HN account and not a sockpu-- wait you didn't.

And Cass totally didn't consult with Patrick Hunter. Almost like she wanted advice on how to replicate the ban in Florida. Not at all.

If you want the cherry on top, before the review, Cass supposedly recommended clinicians read the culture-war work "Irreversible Damage" - a book that compares doctors providing gender affirming care with nazi human experimentation (godwin's law in full force here), completely eliminating the notion that she was a neutral party when the review started.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you addressing the actual problems with the work instead of a blind reaffirmation that it is scientific and everyone else is paid off by big pharma or something (or what's the implication here?)
