My kids are in middle and high school, and they all have school-issued 13 in chromebooks. None of them have print text books, they are all online. I HATE studying with them, because of this. It is a nightmare to try to read a physics or math textbook; there is so much space taken by chrome, the book UI, etc, and the book usually displays full screen. Or, you zoom in, you can see 1 paragraph and half a figure, and can't turn the page. Then, you switch tabs back to your homework, also digital, and can't view the book. God forbid I show them how to tile the windows side by side, but even if you did, the book would be even smaller, and the hw questions run off the side and don't wrap. It is unbearable. I resort to digging out my 20+ year old college engineering and math textbooks for physical references. The kids don't seem to mind it too much, but it is all they have ever known.
We're here today, but we'll be gone tomorrow(-ish). Before HN I was on Reddit, before that Digg, before that Slashdot, and so on. Being in any particular place at any particular time is no guarantee we'll be there going forward because the social networking anacyclosis is undefeated.

Coroutines are just multiple call stacks. If coroutine A calls coroutine B then B excutes on its on stack and can ‘yield’ a value back to A. Yielding is just a return across stacks without destroying the current stack. So A continued with the yielded valie on its own stack and when ready calls B again which continues on its own stack with the next statement after the previous yield. Etc.

Notice that this does not necessarily involve parallelism, although it can. For example, Lua has non parallel (cooperative) co-routines. Go had parallel coroutins, called goroutines, but theoretically only if they they use channels to exchange values. Otherwise, if they’re not exchanging information they would not becoroutins in the sense that they work together in solving something.
Interesting observations:

* Llama 3.2 multimodal actually still ranks below Molmo from ai2 released this morning.

* AI2D: 92.3 (3.2 90B) vs 96.3 (of Molmo 72B)

* Llama 3.2 1B and 3B is pruned from 3.1 8B so no leapfrogging unlike 3 -> 3.1.

* Notably no code benchmarks. Deliberate exclusion of code data in distillation to maximize mobile on-device use cases?

Was hoping there would be some interesting models I can add to https://double.bot but doesn't seem like any improvements to frontier performance on coding.
The killer app for these cheap headsets is streaming software, like ALVR or Virtual Desktop. I've been playing No Mans Sky and VTOL VR (with Proton!!!) and streamed to my headset with surprising stability and little latency.

The standard native Quest games are okay, but my OG Quest 1 really shines when you use it to play wireless PCVR streamed over Wifi. I would not be surprised if this was the main use-case for these headsets nowadays.
Clojure developer here. I make a living from my SaaS, which is written in Clojure.

Reasons why I don't use Datomic:

* I've been burned in the past by a not-very-popular closed-source expensive database developed by a small company (specifically, Franz Inc's AllegroCache used with AllegroCL).

* I don't actually want to preserve all history. I am worried about performance.

* The data model doesn't fit my use case. I know my usage patterns and queries very well, so I am better served by KV stores.

* None of the storage engines is a good fit for me.

In case you wonder, I've been using RethinkDB and I am now moving to FoundationDB. I need a distributed KV store with strict serializability (https://jepsen.io/consistency/models/strict-serializable) consistency, running on my hardware.

In other words, not every database is a good fit for every application. The "just use Postgres!" crowd is wrong, and so is anybody who says "just use Datomic".
so now we are starting to get somewhere. It seems you think the bottlenecks are similar to the ones I flagged such as knowledge, discovery and certification.

If you know a way to find the people starting that aren't charging 200/hr, please let me know because I want to hire them.
This still happens all the time.

* I search a keyword
* I see a google result
* I see the keyword IN THE PREVIEW on Google
* I click on the link
* No keyword

And this isn't hidden SEO spam stuff, it was literally removed. The cache doesn't match the live result.

No recourse.
Why not both?

Yeah, as long as your ISP link isn't the bottleneck then it doesn't really matter if they are not as fast as they could be. I'm running on the cheapest FIOS plan and I can count on one hand the number of services where it is the bottleneck. In fact I can only thing of one at the moment: Steam, and even then only sometimes. Even then the difference is downloading a game in 12 minutes instead of 10 minutes assuming it isn't release week on a big game and the servers are slow.

Jokes of this kind are totally inappropriate. Please delete.
ChatGPT: "Yes, the sentence contains humor. The basic idea is a playful comment about how, after finishing a game (especially after defeating the final boss), players often end up with a lot of items or potions that they might not have used or needed during the game. Such a collection is somewhat pointless after victory since all the challenges have already been overcome.

The humor comes from pointing out the irony of having this "impressive" collection, which is no longer useful: the player has already completed everything important, but still managed to gather many potions they might not need anymore."
As far as I can tell, this isn't actually true: "the DNA evidence that was not destroyed by the state is exculpatory". The Innocence Project are being very careful with their wording here. Initially, they relied on trace DNA on the knife that didn't match the accused murderer, but that ended up being from someone in the prosecutor's office handling it after it had been processed for forensic evidence. Then they tried to argue that this showed the state had destroyed evidence which would've proved his innocence, but the courts didn't buy it because all available evidence suggests the killer's DNA was simply never on the knife. (Which isn't that surprising - DNA evidence isn't perfect and gloves exist.) The other "forensic crime scene evidence" seems to be hothingburgers like a few non-matching hairs in a house that'd had a large number of people going in and out in the recent past.

Hi HN, I wanted to share a website/newsletter I've created recently since it might be useful/funny for you:
techbrohoroscope.fyi is a website/newsletter that provides daily personalized astrological readings and predictions tailored specifically for techbros. It's hosted on Cloudflare Pages and makes use of other Cloudflare products like KV and Workers. There are new readings available for each sign every day and if you're subscribed you'll get your sign's horoscope delivered on your inbox before the daily standup.

This is a great question. Eventually, yes. In an earlier prototype of SI, we actually had this feature, and it was pretty dope. We removed it as we made things much more programmable, but it's high on the road map to bring back. The first will be an `import` function that just builds an individual component from a resource, followed by the full discovery feature.

If I understand you, maybe that is another psycological bottleneck on the side of workers. Hopefully time will change the perception and people will realize that a plumber making 200/hr isn't a failure, and has advantages over being unemployed with a 4 year art degree and 200k debt.

Timeshares themselves are already shady, and there are many people desperate to offload them.

Also, there are psychological biases at play too, regardless of whether you are older or newer to the country. One of key bias in the engine that runs scams and cons is that, once you have done something for someone, you are more likely to keep doing things for them. Even knowing this does not really inoculate you to that effect.

Can you show me the data showing negative effects post-implementation?

The expectation of long term effects comes, as far as I know, only from the same people who were wrong last time and are trying to save face by making new predictions with effectively unfalsifiable timelines.
Stern–Gerlach Experiment
When people or companies have done something stupid I feel like step one is to privately contact the CEO and person who made the mistake and ask them to fix it.

People who know no better might be making foolish but non malicious mistakes in their career. At least it’s worth giving a chance for the boss/person who made the mistake to clean it up.

Get an unsatisfactory response? Sure, do a public name and shame to the internet.

The issue with the name and shame is that a foolish mistake can lead to sackings and lives changes. I’d be cautious about doing it without playing out other angles to determine level of maliciousness and willingness to fix it.

I do understand the shock anger and indignity of having your voice stolen, and I have no idea what steps Jeff took to quietly get it fixed in private. Even so, people make foolish mistakes, be cautious about summoning the internet mob.

I hope Google is NOT going to be a significant source of funding for the Internet Archive. Because I want to trust Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive to be unbiased.

Each number in your btree would actually be a key-value pair. So you can find the key fast, and then you have the value.

Databases including SQLite usually use b+tree for tables (a variant where only the leaves have data, the interior nodes only have keys) and regular btrees for indexes.

Any suggestions for safely discharging? I have two very old puffed up phone batteries, both removed from their devices, but I can't figure out how to discharge them since they won't fit in their devices anymore and I don't have any background in safely handling stored electricity.

I actually like keyboard-driven interface + spatial layout, I just don't have a large enough monitor (I've been hoping for 40"+ 8k monitors for years). But having multiple files open that smartly refocus and rearrange as you ESC-. (Emacs shortcut to jump to implementation of a thing under cursor) would be wonderful: if smart "arrows" are drawn between file boxes, that'd be sweet as well.

The hard bit is making that to be "smart" and not annoying with things moving that you still need.

A Company for Hackers
I do not know if laughing or crying... Buy means acquiring an asset, an asset might became a burden or not, but it's still something, an investment. Rent means consume resources to end up in nothing or non-investing.

Of course if just some invest and most do not those who invest are happier, if all invest the game is much less interesting. But that's an individual vs society advantage and can be fair only if ALL own or ALL do not, and ALL means exactly all, meaning we consider homes a State property in a Democracy, rent as a tax.

The rest is a matter of timing: there are moments in history where buying is interesting, moment not to buy but hold, moment to sell etc, as for stocks, only with a much slower cycle.

Aside there is an important consideration common is the Slavic world but often ignored here in the west: LAND ownership. If you buy a portion of a building your asset have an unspecified due date, because a day the building will became garbage. If you own the land it's value is connected but distinct from the current building on it, at a certain unspecified point in time you might change the building on your own ground.

I think part of what makes this work is that ultrawidescreen monitors aren't as impossibly expensive as they once were, so screen real estate can be spent and your spacial reasoning can take over. It might just not work well on a laptop screen.

Timeshares are very much scammy. What sucks is that it's all legal. If anything, the law -- the ones that protect the interests of real estate owners and lenders -- is used to lock people into making payments that are very difficult to get out of.

Not to be too negative, but:

> When modeling AWS IAM policy in System Initiative, we realized that AWS provides a sophisticated Policy Simulator. So we modeled it, connected our IAM Policies and resources to it, and had a new, real time interface to test the validity of IAM policy. It took less than an hour from start to finish.

Clicking the link takes you to the docs on policy simulator, which seems to show it’s quite limited and isn’t representative of actual, deployed IAM rules:

> Important:

> The policy simulator results can differ from your live AWS environment. We recommend that you check your policies against your live AWS environment after testing using the policy simulator to confirm that you have the desired results.

Implementation details of an app are what make the difference between "ease of use" or not by end users. That's not a 'protocol issue'. I've implemented both a Fediverse and a Nostr implementation from scratch before, and had them running. I ended up abandoning both for separate reasons. I speak from experience when I say ActivityPub is a nightmare to implement and Nostr is easy.

What Nostr got right is that the core of the system needs to be very simple and be ALL that's REQUIRED to join the network, and with Nostr you're just signing a JSON object with your crypto key and you're DONE. And Nostr objects can live "anywhere" too because the user identity is in no way attached to a DNS name. With ActPub your lovely "Admin" (who might hate you and your politics) becomes your god, because once you build up a following on a specific name, you must bow down to your new god, because they are the TRUE owners of your name.
