A simpler case is reading only a fraction of a field. For example, suppose that you have a 8 byte key and you read the first four bytes of it. On a big-endian architecture, those are the high bytes and you can sort with them just fine (up to some level of detail). On a little-endian architecture, you'll be sorting by the lower bytes and the results will be meaningless. So the big-endian architecture allows you to sort by the first n bytes of a struct without caring what fields it contains. While there is obviously no guarantee that the results of this will be meaningful in the general case, it is far more likely than for a little-endian architecture.

Show HN: I made an AI content guessing game

Pretty sure Reflection-70B was a complete scam. They did the ole bait and switch. The model that they uploaded was completely under-performing compared to their own benchmarks and the "secret API" was just a GPT-4 & Claude wrapper.

People let grow a lot of misconceptions about history based on media/cinema/games representation of antiquity, medieval or even renaissance time. But that is normal. I guess reality can be boring in comparison.
One annoying feature of the inverted pyramid structure is that it often isn’t clear to the reader. The reader reads on and things keep getting rehashed in more and more (not necessarily interesting) detail, and to the reader it’s not clear that the article is effectively already done in its scope and no new point will be coming up (although they’re not even halfway through the article), until they give up because it just keeps endlessly meandering on.
Show HN: I built my own financial planinng app
A few years ago, I started managing my finances using Google Sheets. It worked fine for a while, but then I hit some limitations. As my financial planning needs grew more complex, I found myself struggling with tracking assets and forecasting future financial scenarios. Thus, I started to work in my spare time on building FinancialAha: https://www.financialaha.com - a financial planning app designed to do everything my spreadsheets couldn’t.

It is completely free and I intend to add some paid features later on as listed on the pricing page, but I want to keep it free for people that need to do basic financial planinng and projections. Currently it works best on desktop screens, and I working on making it available on mobile devices.

Key Features:
- track all your assets & debt - manage various types of assets including cash, stocks, real estate, digital assets, etc., all in one place.
- cash flow insights - visualize and optimize your income and spending habits. Understand where your money is going and plan smarter.
- financial projections - use your current data to create realistic projections, plan for future expenses or investments, and keep your finances on track.
- privacy and Security - by default, your data remains in your browser, and when stored, it's encrypted end-to-end. The data never gets on our servers unencrypted and all the encrypt/decrypt is done on client. This way, the plain data never gets to FinancialAha.

You can try it for free and see how it works. Check it out here: https://www.financialaha.com

I'd love to hear your feedback!
LinkedIN is not the platform for DMs really. Thank god there are more suitable platforms.
You're getting a very clear error: your sample is not valid HTML, because, as the error informs you, HTML elements can't self close. Why would it reference some other document type for which this may or may not be valid syntax? Should it also tell you that these are not valid JSON objects or LISP forms?

Now, separately from that, it might be nice if it told you that it doesn't support DOCTYPE == XHTML and will treat the document as HTML anyway, but that should only appear as an error/warning on the DOCTYPE line, it shouldn't confusingly mention XHTML wherever you might have meant some XHTML-ism that is invalid HTML.

Also, XHTML is not "an older version of HTML", it is a completely different standard that is (or was) sometimes used instead of HTML.

Even setting aside development costs, any such kit would cost more than your car is worth. As for reliability, electric systems have issues too, especially bespoke drop-in systems. Having fewer moving parts is great, but just because a part doesnt spin doesnt also mean it will never fail. Your maintenance costs would instantly be much higher the moment something goes. Whether IC or EV, getting a custom drivetrain repaired will never be cheap.

The ultimate conclusion is still that, if you need to remain in non-approved countries for prolonged amounts of time, a Framework will be more difficult and expensive to repair for you than a laptop from one of the mainstream vendors, not less. Moreover, Framework will actively work to ensure you can’t repair it by banning dropshippers. So that needs to be part of the calculation.
Ask HN: Do you feel like whatever makes money is detrimental to everything?
It wasn't the case many years ago, but now it seems that you have to willing destroy something in order for a business to succeed. I don't know how to explain better but just that whatever does more damage to people is that which gets monetized. You almost never see good products receive the same success as bad or detrimental ones. I feel like anything that is noble, or of noble origin today is left to die by itself whether it is a person, a company, a community.. anything that has morals is being killed, one way or another. Have you guys noticed this?

To play the devil's advocate. Not all motorcycle noise is bad. As a car driver, I'm sometimes grateful that I hear bikes before I can see them, they can very easily hide in a blind spot. The way they move through the traffic is in may cases illegal, but I'm not a law enforcement. They drive the way they drive, I can't change that. My primary concern is to not hit them, and some noise on their part helps in that.

"naturalness" is a rather pointless thing to argue over. I only mentioned it in response to the parent (and I only mentioned it in the article to highlight how arbitrary it is).

My point in the article was that the numbering system was originally little endian because it made things easier when multidigit numbers grow in magnitude in the same direction as you write (least significant digit to the right in this case as it was a right-to-left writing system at the time). This written ordering was then maintained for compatibility reasons in the parts of the world that eventually settled on left-to-right. And the vocalizations ultimately followed those of the dominant cultures of the times - which used left-to-right (with some vestigial exceptions - see my sister comment).

I’m always using it for spontaneous group accounting, e.g. three guys vacation. Because for group expenses it’s much easier to split the check later in the day or the week. We just accumulate the web of debts and sort it out on demand. It’s very hard to track such chaotic expenses otherwise.

Same for business expenses, I just pay with my card for equipment, services, etc. Later I report it up and get cash/transfer back (doesn’t work for some countries/businesses).

My personal eaten-shitten expenses I know from my bank and experience, there’s no need to account for these.

Every time I’m reminded of plain text accounting, I have either an irresistible urge to immerse myself fully into the process, or feelings of guilt for not staying committed to my previous attempts

You must have financial motivation, not emotional. Once you know that if you give up on accounting, your buddy will happily drink through hundreds of bucks, or your company will get a free hdmi cable, you enter the damn sum without hesitation. Personal accounting doesn’t work because you only can lose analytics, not money.
I think a better wording would be to think of writing the same way as programming. It needs a certain level of complexity to be correct, but it should never have any more than strictly necessary.

Why should the analogy consider each key as a different brand of lock? Each key needs to be cracked separately, but you can use the same method for all of them (assuming one finds a general method and not one based on some property that only a subset of the keys has). So it should be akin to locks of the same brand, using different keys to open them. But that, being of the same brand, can be picked in the same way.

My take on this [0] is that Bitcoin price was growing exponentially with demand, or more exactly with the expected future demand. Cryptocurrency always have had a lot of speculation behind them, not unlike any startup, and that is OK.

As shown by the graph [0], adoption slowed down after 2016 when BTC blocks got consistently full and transaction fees rose to $50 and more. I believe if BTC had scaled to support more transactions the price would be much higher today, as Bitcoin would likely be used as a means of payment across the Internet and in many physical stores at well.

Discussions regarding the decentralization of larger blocks aside, something that is not clear to many people is that scaling a blockchain to handle more transactions doesn't mean a linear increase in energy use. In the case of BTC its Proof-of-Work algorithm operates over the root of the last block's Merkle tree, which is a hash of all the transactions in the block. Being a fixed-size hash it doesn't matter if the block contains 1,000, 1 million or 1 billion transactions. Arguably a more popular Bitcoin would be more valuable and therefore would attract more miners, increasing its energy consumption, but that just reinforces my original point.

It's interesting that DeepMind still publishes this stuff. OpenAI doesn't publish anything of that sort anymore. DeepMind is more research/publication focused, but this is a disadvantage in a competitive landscape where OpenAI and Anthropic can just apply the results of your paper without giving anything back to the research community.

I don't know what your first sentence means. A carbon tax puts into focus which carbon emissions are truly essential, and which ones are optional, expressed by the spending choices consumers make. If you have it in place and most voters agree with the principle (because they make money) then you move the tax rate slider up or down to get carbon emissions to whatever level is enough.

These two things have nothing to do with each other though:

- HTML doesn't have XML-style empty elements such as in "<div/>" and simply ignores the slash, treating the construct as start-element tag

- HTML is "hardcoded" in that the vocabulary understood by the browser is determined out of band, whether for empty ("void") elements or not. An SGML DTD (like the W3C HTML 4.01 DTD or newer DTDs for HTML 5+, which would be the means to inform a parser about the parsing rules for a markup language dynamically), actually contains declarations for the meta, img, and other elements as having EMPTY content, along with tag inference and attribute shortform rules also necessary for parsing.

Having a distribution over possible coins isn't related to frequentism vs. Bayesianism, I don't think. In frequentism, you can ask, "If I have a whole bunch of mystery coins with different biases, what is the distribution of their biases, and for how likely am I to flip k heads in a row for each possible bias?" And in Bayesianism, that distribution can just be the prior/posterior distribution for a single mystery coin.

> But also perhaps not conflating “success” with morally positive outcomes.

The reason why I would conflate them is that success had a positive social implication. You get respect if you're successful. In order to separate these concept, I'd use language that doesn't have positive connotations. "Efficient" is more than accurate.

Show HN: I coded a Bento Grid tool to easily showcase like top brands
Hi HN, I’m Joan, developer of Gridwow.

I created this web app to easily build Bento Grid Layouts, the same style top brands like Apple, Google, and Vercel use to showcase product features on their websites and keynotes. Rich-text, images, videos, and content from X can be added to build the layouts.

Before Gridwow, I used tools like Figma and GIMP to create feature showcase images for my side projects. But whenever I needed to update content, the whole grid would break, and I couldn’t easily re-sort the elements. So, I built an app that allows me to easily add content into a grid and then drag, drop, and resize each element to fit your needs.

As a bonus, since I sometimes stream on Twitch, I made it possible to pull content from a URL into the grid, which can be used in OBS and other streaming platforms to display Bento designs live.

Technical Details: Built with Next.js (frontend & backend), using Cloudinary for media storage, TailwindCSS and Shadcn UI for styling, NextAuth for authentication, Resend for emails, and MongoDB as the database. 'react-grid-layout' handles drag-and-drop and resizing.

What’s next? I want to add more features like pulling content from other social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Product Hunt, Reddit, Hacker News) and incorporating real-time elements like live YouTube subscriber counts or Twitch subscribers. I also plan to add even more customization options.

Let me know your thoughts and feedback! It’s been a blast working on this so far, and I think it’s just neat :)
Scrum is useless.

it's just another method of demanding results. Where there isn't anything to tell, you shouldn't be forced to do so. All this imbecility does is to create competition, and weed out the ones that don't comply.

I've worked in teams where we were forced to have something to report even when nothing was to report. This made the team create "things" to match their daily scrums, because the truth might get you fired..

Those that actually do work, have nothing to say in these scrums. It's a fact.

Intellectual work is never measured.
