Even if it's just text, the point is that LLMs are currently still really bad.

Some models we still have to correct it for outputting Markdown code fences for JSON (we just brute force and string replace it).

We have to give it minute details or fine-tune it on a large enough sample set to get the results we want.

Even just LLMs right now still have a ways to go in terms of how good they are at working without needing precise instructions and micro-corrections and throughput.
Hmm, you could probably make a proof of concept on a weekend specifically in the typescript/JavaScript ecosystem, as it's already heavily reliant on bundlers.

The process could be

1. defining a new/temporary bundler entry point

2. copying the failing code into the file

3. Bundle without minification

It'd probably be best to reduce scope by limiting it to a specific testing framework and make it via an extension, i.e. jest
Great work Catalin! I have always been a fan of your work. All the best!
The poverty level varies by region.

I would consider $40k / year poverty level in Buffalo, NY. It's a rather upscale area.
It makes even more sense for webapps, with the bloated frameworks, non native performance single threaded performance, network access overhead and bloated json parsing everywhere.

Force that dev to try out his app with cpu and network throttling to simulate a normal mobile phone user on a shitty mobile network and he'll soon reconsider fetching 10mb of javascript bundles and rerendering the entire page every time the mouse moves.
What Does It Take to Run Shor's Algorithm on a Quantum Computer?
For anyone who is confused due to the infodump on the GH page, here is a video where I step by step go through some of the SQL and Viz generation features - it's a bit long and doesn't even touch the deep complex stuff (reactive values engine and values i/o) much, but I feel that it's a pretty good intro for what I'm going for...

So, in terms of the RVBBIT (just say rabbit) iceberg - this is everything "above the waterline" - for this layer, direct comparison would be something like superset - but done in a very different way.

Yes. Should is the key word. As the government pushes lots of people to install solar, prices soar… also my house is particularly bad for solar (roof parts looking exactly west-east) so I install double of what will be used. Also high roof, so according to regulations, all house has to be with scaffolds around. Just that+permits+ connection to the grid by a “meister” costs around 5k… German efficiency is called…
> if a write fails.

We're talking about a read-only case. os.Open returns a read-only file handle. If you try writing to it, you'll get an error already at that point. If close fails, who cares?

> I'm not sure how they would handle a file close failure

Ideally there is some kind of failover you can resort to, but if there is no other option at very least you will want to notify a human that what they thought was written isn't actually. But when only reading, you don't need to fall back to anything – all the reads were successful – and what is it to the human? What they thought was supposed to happen did!
Every time I read one of these types of stories, I keep telling myself that there needs to be a stricter subset of YAML with far fewer features and things like required string quoting. I feel like it has to exist, but I don't know where it'd be found.

Show HN: Interactive Screen Recorder
Hello HN,

I want to show off something I've been working on for over a year.

I created a browser extension that records your screen and then sends keyframes over to the GPT Vision API for annotation.

The use case for my software is creating interactive product demos.

Here is my app giving a demo of itself (a milestone I am extremely proud of!):

https://www.interactivedemo.ai/d/APRNDj9hoONXXDu

In the demo, you can see how I'm extracting key frames from the screen recording and sending them over to the LLM with various annotations. I use AWS Lambda with FFMpeg layers for that.

For the keyframes, I draw a red dot on the cursor using Python Imaging Library (PIL) and I also draw sequence and timestamp information under the frames. I have a prompt I've been tuning for a while and it's not perfect but, it still saves a ton of time and has great results.

The system prompt is:

"Generate brief, action-oriented web interaction descriptions. Use varied verbs, focus on direct results, and leverage provided context. Pay close attention to both original and scaled coordinates."

but the user prompt is my secret sauce ;-)

I am launching it on Product Hunt in a few days here:

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/interactivedemo-ai

I created InteractiveDemo.ai because I like how Screen Studio feels, but it is Desktop Mac only, and it doesn't have interactive features. Also, I like the ability to create my own A.I. features on top of interactive demos and just the space in general because I've been developing and showing off software for 24 years. It's a natural fit for me.

Check it out at https://www.InteractiveDemo.ai

I'd appreciate your support and am happy to answer any questions HN has.
And when that happy day dawns, slightly sadly, this nice optimisation will evaporate!

Pretty sure this happens all the time those days. Big corps being happy with status quo, and not doing X until a small motivated competitor does.

If I even still owned blu-rays I might consider ripping them and then converting to this just to avoid the above mentioned pain.

I wish projects would be more strategic around acceptance rates on drivers/plugins contra core. On plugins etc one should have much lower barriers to contributions, compared to on the core. It is actually one of the primary reasons why such architectures are beneficial in FOSS projects.
> To be clear, I agree that LLMs are not anywhere close to AGI and I don't think they ever will be (just a component). But that doesn't mean they aren't useful enough to chew up a lot of compute for the foreseeable future.

Sure, but the question is how much compute? What if we're reaching the asymptotic limit of scaling (but still with some post-training and dataset curation gains to be had), and existing datacenters go from being used for training to inference instead. How long before another data center needs to be built or updated with latest NVIDIA GPUs? Is this (LLM-based AI) just a GPU-upgrade market, or still one growing explosively ?
That's an obviously wrong statement: at some point of power consumption, you've burned the earth to ashes, and there's no returns on compute that can pay that off.
unfortunately, outrage only lasts a few weeks and then the consumer rolls over. I can see a future market for dumb cars.
Disagree. What was the revenue upside of the openness to start with? Probably less than $3.75m.

$3.75m is tiny to Sony but probably quite large for the group responsible for the loss. I know I've seen serious trouble at Fortune 10 companies over $3m issues, when the 6-person group's annual budget is $500k.
Exactly. It's too risky.

It is interesting but not surprising that it’s disc-optional with no pre-installed disc drive option available.

Otherwise, in terms of specs and price, I am somewhat amazed that the console market is clinging on to life at this point. The PS5/Series generation pushed me to PC and I’m really not understanding the appeal of the consoles anymore beyond the convenience of not needing to do assembly.

The consoles are just giving you hardware that PCs already had years ago and isn’t even really beating it on price all that well.

This thing is $700 and you’ll end up with a better system if you build a new PC with a $500 graphics card at about $1000 total build cost. And then you have way more flexibility overall and a much larger game library.
Is this like UndoDB[0]?

$700 and it doesn't even come with an optical drive, oof. The optical upgrade kit for the digital-only PS5 Slim is $80, so the Pro is probably going to be closer to $800 in practice unless you're already all-in on digital.
I know exactly why I do this. I use to deliver pizza. My store was on the edge of a medium-sized city, and a lot of our customers were quite the drive away. I'd get incredibly bored on these long drives. Somewhere along the way, I'd start calculating what percent of my shift I'd worked that minute, and I'd try to get it to 3 decimal places before the next minute came. Again, no reason whatsoever, just bored. And then at some point I thought it'd be more interesting to calculate (number of minutes worked) / (number of minutes remaining), which is fun because the ratio grows really slowly at first and then very quickly. I realized the first step in that was dividing out the common factors, so 248 minutes / 232 minutes was 31 / 29. (Yes, I'd been taught that in class, but it's one thing to have a teacher make you do something and another to realize why you'd ever want to do it voluntarily.)

Do that long enough and you find patterns, like 7 * 11 * 13 = 1001. If you ever end up calculating n / 11, it's approximately the same as n * 7 * 13 / 1000. E.g., 3 / 11 ~= .273. Or take 27 * 37 = 999. Now n / 37 ~= n * 27 and shuffle the decimals. 7 / 37 ~= 7 * 27 / 1000.

And that's how I ended up reasonably good at mental arithmetic, and memorizing a frankly unnecessary number of squares, and being able to factor lots of numbers at a glance (or recognize that they're prime). I was awfully bored for an awfully long time.

Not really. There was no Ring -1 (hypervisor), no hardware-assisted virtualization as we use the term today. On Windows/386, it ran in Ring 0.

> That’s why, to better contextualize the nation’s great fortunes, in 2014 Forbes began assigning each billionaire a self-made score. The score ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 to 5 meaning an individual inherited most of his or her wealth and 6 to 10 meaning he or she built their company or established their fortune. In 1984, less than half the people on The Forbes 400 were self-made; in 2023, 70% have created their own riches.

> In all, around 30% of this year’s Forbes 400 members inherited their vast sums. That ranges from those scoring a lowly 1, who inherited all their fortune and are not actively working to increase it, to those scoring a 5, who inherited a successful business but set about turning it into a huge success.

The thing with inherited wealth is that it doesn't grow and gets dispersed. As the saying goes:

My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel.

The wealthiest on the margin are absolutely productive or at least good allocators

i realised recently that the transition to HD made everything look and sound the same to me. unlike the distinctive eras of the 90s, 80s, 70s...so on.

and now with realistic graphics, even games are starting to all look the same to me. i feel that the limitation born art and era-specific traits of the pre-HD era have been lost.

i just dont feel anything looking at these new games. but then i'm not young anymore.
$700 and no disc drive? Yikes. I guess it makes sense when compared to the PS4 lineup cost wise, but usually when they launch the slims it drops the price to some degree. Doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Didn't get along is an understatement. They gaslit and destroyed the little bit of leadership structure of NixOS had through harassment and bullying.
0 PT compatibility, either. Guess there's still a reason to keep the PS4 around a little while longer, eh?

Honestly speaking though, I don't "get" Sony like I "get" Microsoft and Nintendo's business strategy. This feels like the PS3 launch all over again, a big console with a never-before-seen price tag, with few headline features besides "graphics". It appeals to the core fanbase, and absolutely nobody else. It's like Sony thinks they have Nintendo-tier market control.

I dunno, maybe they're leading up to some big software change that will really wow their users. It's a good day to be an offline PC gamer though (especially if you want to catch up on the state of Bloodborne emulation).
Muon SSH Terminal/SFTP Client
The disc drive is basically useless anyway from a long-term perspective (I don't say "preservation" because that's a farcical argument); because even on the bundled versions, it requires an internet connection to "activate" it. This also needs to be repeated when a user signs out or signs in as someone else.
Did you try a (tiny) bloom filter? Doing a quick convolution of the header key and a test against a bloom filter (SIMD? Using builtin CRC ops? 256-bit bloom filter size?) might avoid walking the trie altogether in most cases at the cost of a few cycles.
How strange is it that this console is to be priced considerably higher in its home market than it is in the US.

Either that or Sony is hinting that they expect the yen to crash dramatically against the dollar (from 142:1 over 170:1) between now and the end of the year.
Same and totally agree with the timeline. This is the first time I have gone 3 years though and the screen hasn’t cracked, the back hasn’t cracked, the battery life is decent. These features the last 3 years haven’t sold me. I’m not spending over 1k, at least on launch day… for the first time in a very long time

The OS X story is even worse than that. When Apple first released OS X to developers, like Adobe, they balked. They weren't going to port their Mac applications to this "new" operating system.

Made an open source coding companion for the terminal
Hello! This is my first post, and I wanted to share a coding assistant I made that can be used in the terminal. I used primarily shell scripting (making changes to files) and Python (generating the changes). It uses gpt-4o and requires an API key to run. After installation and setup (instructions on GitHub link to follow, along with tutorials), one can type ./d ['filename'], and the assistant will fix the code, explain its fixes, and save the original file (in case there were any mistakes). It currently works with C, Python, Java, shell scripting, Swift, and Ruby. Here is the link: (https://github.com/oscarrivera2028/d-coding-companion). I would be thrilled to hear feedback and would love to review and integrate some pull requests!
Having worked in the ecomm industry for quite a while, one thing that always drove me nuts was stores that did not understand that your current location should not drive your store choice and certainly shouldn't drive your language choice. Sure, if you need to guess, then you can use assumed geographic location as a starting point if you like. If you don't know what language someone wants, by all means, use the Accept-Language header to make a best effort. After that, let your visitor select a location and language that they want.

I went through a lot of effort on one project that had something like 90+ country stores to make it work as expected. We used IP-based location to select a store if you hadn't already selected one. We used Accept-Language header if you hadn't selected a language. If we couldn't determine a location via IP address, we had a world map landing page you'd get redirected to so you could select a store where you'd be directed back to the product page for the correct store. Language display was best effort. All of the 'chrome' of the site could be displayed in most every language. Products had limited subsets of language. I don't recall how we resolved that disparity.

> I don't suddenly start speaking a different language if I look at a your site from a different country.

As someone that traveled a lot, I always hated this. Sorry, maybe I'm not fluent enough in German to read your site, but I really do want to order from your German store. Or maybe I really want to order from the US store even though I'm in Germany.

One other aspect of all of this that was *extra* fun was payments. Anti-fraud systems frequently get super suspicious if your location and the store location don't match.

Simple, there are two markets:

- People who know about and build computers

- People who want to play games

There's some common overlap; but there are a lot of people who do not overlap. As long as that is the case, PlayStation will always have a market.

Also, I'm glad for this; the PC is not a completely stable platform. I remember playing games with NVIDIA PhysX from about a decade and a half ago, and the physics are just ever so slightly broken and off (to the point some levels are unbeatable).
