> I find it weird anyone is surprised by this.

I find it weird anyone believes the Earth is flat, yet here we are. Most people don’t understand or care how LLMs work and the companies pushing those systems have little interest in explaining. The state we’re in is sad and disappointing, but far from surprising.

> LLMs don't understand what they're doing at a fundamental level

There are a large number of people on this website, which is ostensibly a geek forum, who fail to understand even that simple concept. Worse, they actively refuse the notion. What chance do non-technical people have?
Gdevelop might be described as a low code platform as it's language is visual (like Scratch on acid). It already has "Generate a game with AI" built in. It's not very good.

What makes you think LLMs will get better? The more we've seen AI develop the more fine tuned everyone's senses have got hyper-sensitised to what's AI and it just reeks of the uncanny, rendering it ultimately useless.
I find it funny that by now Ignite, the tool mentioned in the thread has already been abandoned in favor of another project, Flintlock, which also seems pretty abandoned (only Dependabot activity). I guess most companies choose containers as they’re mature and have good tooling available, whereas MicroVMs are still pretty experimental especially long-running ones as you have many restrictions and memory management is painful. I think for your own stuff Docker makes most sense, if you’re hosting untrusted code then yeah MicroVMs are the way to go.
I am not familiar with logseq. The sort of connection you want to made can often be made automatically using some embeddings. Because [[Project1/Computer Science]] and [[Project2/Computer Science]] likely have similar content, their semantic embedding are probably close, and a neighborhood search can help find them easily.

Communication is kind of the game of transmitting the information in such a way that your interlocutor internal representation of things ends up mapping to yours. Low dimensional embeddings are often very useful, but sometimes graph are not planar. Symmetry is usually useful, and a symmetric higher dimensional embedding is often better, because the symmetry constrain it more making it easier to be sure it was transmitted correctly.

When people ends up with different concept maps, in one of which some concepts are located near each other and in the other the same concepts are located far apart, interesting things usually happen when they communicate, ranging from culture enlightenment to culture war.

Some of these mapping are sometimes constrained to 3d, by things like memory palaces, (method of loci), but this is somewhat arbitrary, and staying more abstract and working in higher dimension until you "feel" everything fall into the right place intuitively is often preferable, (aka the Feynman method).

Sustainable Fuel-Electric Vehicles vs Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles have gained alot of hype previously, many manufacturers have not gone down the EV route, and instead, focused on hybrid type drivetrains, Axis Motor Corp (F24), is pushing new boundaries with hybrid-electric drivetrains, delivering a future for sustainable fuels. We are interested to hear feedback on personal preferences, in terms of EV's or liquid fuel/hybrid vehicles, what is your preferences? do EV's cut the ticket for everyone out there?

Companies never have a negative price. Also, just look at stock graphs. Companies are not priced by geometric browning methods.

The websites shows a slope from green to blue across turquoise, but al most of this is almost certainly calibration error, and people being forced to say blue or green when they want to say turquoise.

The true graph is most probably a very small slope on the green and blue ends, and rectangle of measurement error in the middle. The "you are 70% greener" conclusion is a textbook example of false precision that ruins the science.

Yeah, I don't understand this take.

"Center" is not French, it's English.

"Parcs" is French, sure.

But the author is suggestion "Centre" (French) "Parks" (English).

So an English French word becomes a French English one.
Where does this stupid notion come from that using powerful tools means you can't handle the less powerful ones anymore? Did your skills with a hand screwdriver atrophy when you learned how to use a powered screwdriver? Come on.

I use grep multiple times a day. I write bash scripts quite often. I'm not speaking from a position of ignorance of these tools. They have their place as a lowest common denominator of programming tools. But settling for the lowest common denominator is not a path to productivity.

Doesn't mean you should forget your skills, but it does mean you should investigate better tools. And leverage them. A lot.

> But a 1-liner in bash can be 10-100 lines of C#.

Yes. And the reverse is also true. bash is fast and easy if there's an existing tool you can leverage, and slow and hard when there's not.
The only consistent conclusion I can come to with all of these metrics (not just this one) is that they're severely underreporting USA inflation, and therefore severely overvaluing whatever is happening in the USA. When I talk to people from the USA they don't feel twice as rich, although by the numbers they are. Instead I notice that a prepared meal that costs about €10 here costs about $20 there (€1≈$1), although junk food is still super cheap for them due to their government subsidizing it way more. It feels like the US$ should be valued about half as much as it is, to make all the numbers be consistent.

And this meshes with the knowledge the USA has basically gone on a money printing rampage since 2008, more than any other country that shows up on these graphs. By the amount of money printing and the hypothesis that money printing is the cause of inflation, the US$ should be worth half.

It meshes with the rise of the USA's stock market indices while most of the rest of the world was flat. If the US$ had halved in value (since 2008) but publicly traded companies were still producing the same real profits, indices would have about doubled (since 2008). They have.

So why isn't the currency exchange rate reflecting that?
It's common to have discussions on HN about the technical difficulty of billing systems, although these could possibly be explained by:

My preference is to think deeply about it alone, and either take the results of that to the team or even come up with a very rough mockup/prototype and/or some working code for the bits that I initially have no idea how to implement (again, in a time-boxed manner)- and only then have a proper bike-shedding session.

Otherwise I find so much time is wasted on tiny details that don't matter, and the overall picture still fails to emerge (aka a definitional bike-shedding session).

Writing a Linux-ABI-compatible kernel in Rust will lead to a kernel no one uses. What would be the advantage of such a kernel? It would be much, much slower for many workloads and only be interesting to Rust hackers. In "Linux the OS", we are stuck with the "Linux the kernel", and Drew knows this very well. You will never catch up with the years of development that went into it. So if you want Rust in the kernel of "Linux the OS", you need to get Rust into "Linux the kernel" proper. This approach can work, see for instance the history of PREEMPT-RT.

"I want A and I also want B" has nothing to do with "multiple personalities". GP didn't say they wanted an electric Miata that also is a big station wagon, they said they wanted one and also the other -- two separate vehicles.

Hey, do you eat; do you at least every now and then want food? Do you ever wash; do you at least occasionally want soap? But wait, food isn't soap and soap isn't food -- if you want both, you must need medication for your multiple personalities!

Those of us who aren't Adobe salespeople have less incentive to care about keeping feature parity with a predatory cloud-subscription-pushing entity.

Some of us see decadence driving many features on mature graphics applications, coupled with rentseeking on 30 year old code.

Rentseeking.

Let's say you have a FilterModal component and you're using it like this: x-filter-modal

Improving the IDE to find one or the other by searching for one or the other is missing the point or the article, that consistency is important.

I'd rather have a simple IDE and a good codebase than the opposite.
In the example that I gave the worst thing is that it's the framework which forces you do use these two names for the same thing.

Good suggestion thanks. I'm actually having discussions around linking it to Brick Ranker, so watch this space on that.
Terms like loose are relative so it’s often associated with unhealthy extremes. But in a growing economy you need to increase the money supply to avoid long term deflation. Further, the economy naturally expands and contracts over time so timing things correctly and a loose money supply doesn’t necessarily mean short or long term inflation.

Of course everyone is operating with in perfect information so it’s impossible to achieve a completely stable currency.
I guess most of it's still highly relevant since not enough people have clamored for the (2013) tag.

They arent even en route.

It's a bubble
Shame on me for jumping past the simple solutions, but...

If you're going that far, and you're in a context which probably has a parser for the underlying language ready at hand, you might as well just convert all tokens to a common format and do the same with the queries. So searches for foo-bar find strings like FooBar because they both normalize to foo_bar.

Then you can index by more than just line number. For instance you might find "foo" and "bar" even when "foo = 6" shows up in a file called "bar.py" or when they show up on separate lines but still in the same function.

except in the case of the efficient market, if somebody manages to find some inefficiency, they can stand to profit off it by arbitraging that inefficiency (until it disappears).

So it's not quite the same as code inefficiency, unless an engineer could reap the reward for the fixing of said inefficiency.
basically with all those bells and whistles (transform, lighting, clipping, shaders, etc, etc)

the "old way" was to engineer a bit of silicon for each one of those things, custom-like. problem was how much silicon to give to teach feature, it almost has to be fine-tuned to each individual game, a problem

So nvidia comes up with the idea to sort of have a pool of generic compute units, each of which can do T&L, or shading, etc. Now the problem of fine-tuning to a game is solved. but also now you have a mini compute array that can do math fast, a general-purpose unit of processing (GPU-OP), which was a nod from NVIDIA to the gaming community (OP - overpowered)
Sadly GIMP has not yet had its "Blender moment", i.e. the courage to cut off old cruft and UI concepts, to appeal to a broader audience (both beginners and professionals) that can easily migrate from the proprietary competition.

But do they make much of a difference? You have always been able to write:
