was pretty good too, but it had taken on too much in its latest version 2.0.0. In other words, it is too unstable at the moment (but probably worth looking at again later).
So I can't find that paper that was posted on HN that said that, when viewed under the right theoretical framework, asserts that diffusion and transformers are doing the same thing under a different basis.. am I misrembering something?
>Meissonic, with just 1B parameters, offers comparable or superior 1024×1024 high-resolution, aesthetically pleasing images while being able to run on consumer-grade GPUs with only 8GB VRAM without the need for any additional model optimizations. Moreover, Meissonic effortlessly generates images with solid-color backgrounds, a feature that usually demands model fine-tuning or noise offset adjustments in diffusion models.

This looks really cool. Also nice to see another architecture being used for image generation besides diffusion. It seems like every NLP problem can be solved with transformers now: text generation/understanding, image generation/understanding, translation, OCR. Perhaps llama 4/5 will have image generation as well. eidt: llama 3.2 already has image editing, they probably just don't want to release an image generator for other reasons.
I'd think that just pooling the money from multiple consumers into large AP1000 power plants buildouts would be cheaper.

So far economies of vertical scaling mostly led to cheaper energy than more smaller units.

Ideally youd have one company with a lot of skilled labor building NPPs all the time instead of only every few decades, because that means experienced workers change jobs/retire, supply chains cease to exist and this leads to cost and time overruns.

Still great to see finally more money being invested into this limitless technology (nuclear fission)

Sorry for the less-than-useful reply, but I tried out most of the TEA TUI frameworks in OCaml and none of them worked very well or well updated.

I do not recall what problem I had with that particular one, but I ended up just using raw Notty in the end.
I'm inclined to believe that the authors, if they quoted that, read it. The implied claim is that this treatment is inadequate. (My reading is supported by the text on the previous slide: page 23 in the PDF.)
Generally speaking, line of sight. Assuming you're in the US, the FCC wouldn't come after you for using this in an emergency situation unless you were being absolutely egregious about stomping on other emergency comms, even then I seriously doubt you'd see a fine.

Having said that you're basically going to need enough knowledge to pass the test to make use of this anyway. Why not just take the test and be legal?
What evidence do you have to disagree?

Reagen's and thatcher's whole agenda can be summed up by: "the biggest lie is 'i'm from the government and I'm here to help'"

Have you not paid much attention to politics since Reagan and Thatcher? Their whole objective was to hollow out the government piece by piece, then point to its declining performance as justification for getting rid completely, or to gut further. Repeat. This has been the modus operandi for conservative parties since at LEAST thatcher and Reagan.

>we have record spending as a percentage of gdp and are approaching a sovereign debt crisis

Yeah, it's those pesky regulatory agencies riding up that tally I'm sure, not the almost 1 trillion we spend a year perpetuating apartheid states or our military bases all over the world while 3 americans hoard more wealth than 50% of all americans combined. Silly, patently false defense for an already silly position.

Couldn't be the trillions we spent on the war on "terror". Or the trillions we spend on futile measures like the war on drugs. It's def the ftc and the epa. Those lot. That's who's causing our problems. Yep. That makes sense.

Are you serious? Either you're not a student of history or we have drastically different readings of the past 40 years of american government.

>We never really had an austerity movement

Patently false, dishonest rewriting of history. Did you not pay attention to Reagan actually did?

Reagan's whole thing was the whole govt helping is a lie.

Reagan cut food stamps and almost all other spending while drastically increasing the military budget, cut taxes on the wealthy, deregulated in the name of austerity, got the war on drugs going to villainize his political opponents.

You simply can not be serious. Maybe read Reagan's wiki page before writing such demonstrably revisionist history.

A Practical Guide to Queues, Streams, Jobs, and Workflows
I've been using Payload for 18 months. They're only recently (with the upcoming v3 release) really piggy-backing on Next.js' server and routing. Before that, it was "just" a really nice headless CMS built on Node/TypeScript.

This was obviously posted in the wake of the WordPress drama, but I landed on Payload while feeling stagnant after 10+ years building on WordPress. Everything else I was doing was 100% TypeScript, my entire professional career had been working with metadata driven data structure, I felt right at home with Payload.

It's just enough structure (full admin area, API, GraphQL) to make scaffolding a basic site (with authentication) quite easy. I had built an app using Next 13 before Payload began integrating directly and using the local API (versus making HTTP calls to a server endpoint) is very clean. It feels like WordPress (i.e. you're editing "client" code on the "server") but with a LOT less cruft.

Because it's headless, anything goes on the front end. One big reason that WP got so big was because of the theming capabilities. Payload has extensibility by way of plugins, but it's (obviously...) not as robust as what's available in the WP plugin repo. It'll be interesting to see how these alternatives fare against the more prescriptive tools like Ghost (which does support theming, but does not support custom fields in any way, shape, or form).

That being said, I'm all in on Payload moving forward. If you're curious, go straight to the v3 beta -- it's very close to release and plenty stable, in my opinion. Happy to answer questions.

I was wrong, and you are correct! I had thought that XMODEM was more efficient as the bandwidth increases but I was wrong; due to the fixed length of time for the ACK response, the efficiency drops to under 80% at a data rate of 9600bps; Kermit does not have this issue.
Side note to people reading this: in general, when suspecting a scam, don't blindly trust anyone who says "I'm ... and I confirm this is OK". This may be the same very person who you're suspecting of original scam ;). Not a theory, I have cases looks this every other week in my dayjob.

In this case I believe the post is legit.
Yes, but EDITOR is also read by a lot of other tools. And if you want to use a particular editor with git, and didn’t know about EDITOR, you probably want to set EDITOR so that when other tools open an editor it will be the same one.

But if you already have that and want something specific and different for just git then yeah GIT_EDITOR.

There was also Motorola Atrix in 2011 with similar idea.
Nuclear is absolutely necessary to complete the clean energy transition, but is it really an either-or with solar and wind? We need massive amounts of clean electricity to displace fossil energy sources, not just to power the grid but also to synthesize all the chemical feedstocks that currently come from oil. The skills and resources needed to build out nuclear capacity and solar/wind capacity are quite different and needn't compete with each other.

Oura is terrible. Without their paid influencers they'd be in the graveyard with Pebble and other past wearable companies.

Your Oura ring will likely get bricked by their updates (they'll replace it, but come on). Or you could simply have a busy week, forget to charge it and ban. Bricked.

They of course were first to market with this form factor, so they of course are going to be the ones to take most of the flack for all the growing pains that come with that. This is typical with any new platform. However, they still leave a ton to be desired and I can't really see how they'll survive the next few years with all the competition in the space.
Glad for your review!

About the source of the search results, both text and images, they're all from [SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/).

> SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

SearXNG by itself offers a full-stack platform for you to run searches privately (you can find public instances at <https://searx.space/>, and easily host yourself [via docker](https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker)).

About how they scrape other search engines, it's really simple: HTTP calls and parsing of HTML (for most of them).

In MiniSearch, I don't need to save the results by myself. The scrape is done in real-time by SearXNG and passed to MiniSearch, which in turn runs a similarity search and filters out the textual results that don't seem that useful.

But I can say the real differential of MiniSearch is that it's mobile-first. Since the beginning, it was made to run on the browsers of Chrome/Safari/Firefox Mobile, and [Wllama](https://github.com/ngxson/wllama) together with [Web-LLM](https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm), along with LLMs of <1B parameters, allowed it!

Nicer not to mock someone's name just because it happens to mean something in a completely different language =P
Totally agree. The move away from research in nuclear technology towards unreliable "green tech" is a colossal mistake. I'm not sure why Germany did it. Reliable power is the life blood of an economy. With electric cars (and possibly trucks) more will depend on power capacity a country is able to reliably produce.

Research safety and disposal. Add funds to that research so that we can get over our fear. We did it for airlines its time to do it for nuclear power.
I love the 'ideally' in the dry cask storage article...

"Ideally, the steel cylinder provides leak-tight containment of the spent fuel."

Also guessing that article is woefully out of date since it mentions:

"The NRC estimated that many of the nuclear power plants in the United States will be out of room in their spent fuel pools by 2015, most likely requiring the use of temporary storage of some kind"
No, the article lists sprintf/snprintf.

Another person already correctly pointed out that the author was listing a bunch of functions for number and string conversions in general.
> Presumably you don’t mean “they don’t care about the commit that produced the patch”… since the patch is just a transport format for the commit.

Commits. Not everyone will care to clean up their local history just to produce a single patch. You can git diff it out.

EDIT:

I was using "patch" for diff so scratch the above comment. Even then, when using a forge, I'd rather use squash unless everyone clean up their commit history when producing a PR.
Ask HN: Is write access to hard drives less powerful than read access?
Hello HN. I have a question. Do you think that having the ability to just write someone's hard drive is less powerful than being able to just read it?

Not being the original does not make it any less meaningful. Repeating the same "Not real Nobel" spiel every time Nobel price in Economics is discussed as it is some kind of refutation is silly.

>Is there any reason

Yes there is. Nobel committee has accepted Nobel in economics as one of the Nobel prices. Its in their website, in their documents and its given out in the same ceremony in Stockholm. Laureates are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

I think there may be a way forward for the internet. Why isn't hacker news being strangled by SEO spam for example? I think the way forward is a much smaller internet predicated on tight-knit communities approving everything that's shared. I don't know how this could scale but maybe that's the point, it must stay small to succeed.
He also links to the DHH post where DHH very specifically address the thing he claims to be confused about:

>I don't even have a dog in this fight, only a set of principles. If anything, I'd be naturally inclined to be on Team WordPress. Between creating one of the most widely used open-source programs and powering half the internet, there's every tribal reason to side with Automattic over WP Engine's private-equity owners at Silver Lake.

>But whatever my feelings about private equity in general or Silver Lake's management of WP Engine in particular, I care far more about the integrity of open source licenses, and that integrity is under direct assault by Automattic's grotesque claim for WP Engine's revenues.
Replacing LF behavior with NL behavior in terminal raw mode is a non-starter, decades worth of software will break. The enter/return key only sends CR anyway, software has to decide what to do with that: sometimes the answer is emit CRLF, often there are program-defined margins so the CR gets translated to direct cursor movements.

I'm pretty sure drh is making a case only against the use of CRLF in protocols, not trying to redesign terminal in the process. If you're emulating a machine which understands LF then you're kinda stuck with line feed semantics, for better and for worse.
Intermittent and unreliable are two different things.

Renewables are intermittent and reliable; if a wind producer has bid into the day-ahead auction, you can expect with very high reliability they will deliver as bid.

Nuclear is great, so is zero-marginal-cost energy producers :)
http://www.mobilinkd.com/ is probably the closest pre-existing thing that is similar. I don't think this was lack of imagination, modules like the DRA818V make building a fully integrated unit a lot easier these days
Oh right. A different return type isn't enough to differentiate one function from another.
Interesting. I've tried to use it for a few things, it works where I'd expect -- make a scaffolding for a simple Java project, edit this English -- but whenever I then try to use it for Real Work, things that require some thought and don't have lots of examples in the training set, it fails. It didn't help me as much implementing some ideas from an academic paper about compilers, or on using AF_XDP sockets.

It's interesting that it has the property of always returning _something_, so you have to be careful how you phrase. And the something returned will be optimized for looking right, but might only be so by accident.

I half agree. I dont need the bullshit bells and whistles. However a good camera doesn't mean you want to post on instagram or tiktok - maybe you just want a memory of a trip you went on or technical detail of something you want to document. People took pictures before social media.

Most every phone can already do what we want but the hardware is undocumented or locked behind NDA and the firmware is hostile. Without those locks the gigacorps cant keep you in the data-mining garden. We wont have open phones until this thinking changes. Keep dreaming until then.

You're unlikely to find this with any analytic file format (including Vortex). The main reason is that OLAP systems generally assume an immutable distributed object/block layer (S3, HDFS, ABFS, etc.).

It's then generally up to a higher-level component called a table format to handle the idea of edits. See for example how Apache Iceberg handles deletes https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#row-level-deletes
I've skimmed through it and see nothing much to actually be concerned about. We all know Stallman is a rather strange, socially awkward man with some oddball views that go against the grain.

A document berating him for being a weirdo, while shrilly exaggerating all the "evidence" in an effort to destroy him and everything he's built over his lifetime, is not particularly useful or necessary.

The purpose of this is clear, and it's very telling that it's being fired at Stallman from the shadows by the unknown and unaccountable.

Where did I do that? I tried to discredit an example of that which you are lamenting. Seems odd to reply this to my comment, though I understand flagging it.

Is Cassava Sciences Overestimating Their Phase 3 Clinical Trials (October 2024)
We're almost there! It's points 1 and 5 where there's some friction.

1 - I think social media is good as long as you don't overuse it, yeah, that's the rub. Social media is designed for you to overuse it. The best way to prevent that is to keep it off your phone. Use your tablet/laptop. This is the most important point. You must remove social media apps from your phone. This is the toughest step for most people.

5 - Adjust your expectations, the camera is for snapshots, not photographs - regardless of all the marketing saying otherwise. Hardware manufacturers use the camera to lure you into high-priced, flagship phones. If you're really into photography, then you'll save a lot of money by acquiring dedicated gear.

But far and away the most important thing you can do is remove the social media apps from your phone.
There's definitely a huge variance in blood pressure readings depending on posture, relaxation, arm position, recent activity, etc. If you buy a blood pressure monitor, it's really interesting to see how "random" a single reading at the doctors' is, and how large your fluctuation throughout the day is.

That being said, it really makes me wonder about studies that correlate blood pressure with other things. Is the blood pressure really being measured "correctly" in all those studies? Or not?

In other words, if your "true correct" blood pressure is lower than what the doctor normally takes, but then a lot of the studies are based on real-life "incorrect" higher blood pressures, then don't you similarly want an "incorrect" higher reading for consistency? Or are the studies always really done with far more accurate blood pressure readings, where the patient sits still for 5 min beforehand, keeps their legs uncrossed, is totally free of stress and anxiety, didn't exercise beforehand, etc.?
