> JJ's conflict handling seems nice. Can't say that it's a big enough problem for me to qualify as a "major feature", but a seemingly nice improvement.

The advantages people first think of when they hear about jj's conflict handling are usually that you can collaborate on conflicts and that you can leave conflicts for later. What's less obvious [1] is that being able to store conflicts in commits means that we can always rebase descendants, so there are states like what Mercurial (and Sapling, I think) call "obsolete" and "orphan". There is also no "interrupted rebase" state when you're resolving conflicts.

These things simplify for the user. They also simplify a lot for developers. An example is how I spent about 2 weeks on a `hg amend --into` command for amending the changes in the working copy into an ancestor. I then implemented that in under an hour in jj. Much of the complexity in hg stemmed from dealing with the interrupted states while dealing with conflicts. (Other complexity in hg that jj doesn't have is dealing with a dirty working copy, dealing with concurrent operations, and simply complexity in the APIs for creating new commits in memory.)

[1] IIRC, it took me about a year after I added support for "first-class conflicts" until I figured out that it meant that we should simply always rebase descendants. Jujutsu had a orphans and a `jj evolve` command before then.

The answer is mostly about CLOS and not about LOOPS.

Update: my remark was about an earlier posted content, which had an "AI" generated answer. That text has been removed.
that makes sense. thanks for explaining!
What is your goal of categorising it differently tho?
Sure, plenty of people have been saying it's great for a long time, when it clearly was not (looking at you, Whole Mars Catalog). I was not saying it was super great back then. I have consistently been critical of Elon for promising human level self driving "next year" for like 10 years in a row and being wrong every time. He said it this year again and I still think he's wrong.

But the rate of progress I see right now has me thinking that it may not be more than two or three years before that threshold is finally reached.
I couldn’t agree more. The paper leaves mushroom for doubt.
Potentiometers on the side. (I’m only half joking)
I don't know if that's appropriate, but that's an opportunity for me to boost this little tool I made : https://github.com/Arwalk/lparchive2epub

This tool builds an epub file from a let's play from lparchive.

Installation is through pip, it requires python >= 3.12.

Boatmurdered has been built with it for the occasion on https://github.com/Arwalk/lparchive2epub/blob/master/prebuil... (click on raw to get it) , but i wouldn't advise on downloading stuff from the internet without prior verifications, of course.

I'd love to have some feedback on it and its output, considering i've been the only one using it so far, afaik.
Thank you I was literally wondering what garbage collection needs to be paid for.
And what are the major differences between LOOPS and CommonLOOPS (besides Interlisp vs CL)?
Just don't connect the "smart" Tv to the internet. It's still a "dumb display" if you don't give it internet access. Don't give it wifi access, don't plug in an ethernet cable.
The book unfortunately doesn't mention CLOS, nor does it give any hints about the differences. But the focus of the book is obviously on Lisp Object-Oriented Programming, not on Expert Systems. A comparison with CLOS is therefore apparent.
> This way when you upgrade your OS

Don't forget to do this on Friday afternoon! :D

Upgrading OS in production environment... this reminds me of a joke about police academy intake test:

The participants were offered a board with a round and a square hole and two pegs of similar shape. After the test the new recruits were sorted into two groups: very smart and very strong

So, yeah, you ought to be either very smart or very strong to upgrade OS in production environment, and then also discover changes to your database as you go along.

That's not to say that upgrades don't happen at all... but you'd be upgrading in a testing environment ten times before you try that "for real", and at that point you would have probably solved the question of whether you need to (re)install the database and how :)
Better that way than "Oh it tried to run red light, but otherwise it's great."
Why would want to hear a so wonderfully written story changed into a shallow, awkwardly phrased shadow of itself, read by robot voices in podcaster cadence?
A login back off should be capped to a number of hours rather than be allowed to grow to a month though. I also have a hard time seeing this implemented as setTimeouts for every failed login attempt instead of storing a last login attempt time and counter in a user database with a time comparison when login is called.

It’s definitely suboptimal though, even if it is documented.
That makes sense. Birds are very weight-limited, so there's evolutionary pressure to keep the mass of the control system down.
Can you point to some online documentation that recommends changing lanes in preference to speeding up when a person is merging at too slow a speed? What I'm doing is following CHP guidance in this post: https://www.facebook.com/chpmarin/posts/lets-talk-about-merg... """Finally, if you are the vehicle already traveling in the slow lane, show some common courtesy and do what you can to create a space for the person by slowing down a bit or speeding up if it is safer. """

(you probably misinterpreted what I said. I do sometimes change lanes, even well in advance of a merge I know is prone to problems, if that's the safest and most convenient. What I am saying is the guidance I have read indicates that staying in the same lane is generally safer than changing lanes, and speeding up into an empty space is better for everybody than slowing down, especially because many people who are merging will keep slowing down more and more when the highway driver slows for them)
My curiosity/claim is neither "There are 0 games inspired by Dwarf Fortress" nor "Minecraft was not inspired by Dwarf Fortress" :)

Rather, 2 of the 3 specific games named, none of which are Minecraft, seem directly contradicted. I'm curious about the larger idea OP was getting at.

A particularly annoying aspect of monitor makers blurring the distinction between monitors and TVs that I hit with my Samsung S9 5K is that my Samsung TV remote can turn the monitor on/off and the monitor remote can turn the TV on/off.

Did it not occur to Samsung that people might have their computer in the same room as their television?
That website is actually a great way to compare options, thanks for sharing! I did find that it gives a 500 error for Birmingham, AL specifically, if you’re still working on it.
I had a feeling it had to be something like massive waste due to a misguided feature of the algorithms that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Once the "math is done" quite likely it would have paid off better than most investments for the top people to have spent a few short years working with grossly underpowered hardware until they could come up with amazing results there before scaling up. Rather than grossly overpowered hardware before there was even deep understanding of the underlying processes.

When you think about it, what we have seen from the latest ultra-high-powered "thinking" machines is truly so impressive. But if you are trying to fool somebody into believing that it's a real person it's still not "quite" there.

Maybe a good benchmark would be to take a regular PC, and without reliance on AI just pull out all the stops and put all the effort into fakery itself. No holds barred, any trick you can think of. See what the electronics is capable of this way. There are some smart engineers, this would only take a few years but looks like it would have been a lot more affordable.

Then with the same hardware if an AI alternative is not as convincing, something has got to be wrong.

It's good to find out this type of thing before you go overboard.

Regardless of speed or power, I never could have gotten an 8-bit computer to match the output of a 32-bit floating-point algorithm by using floating-point myself. Integers all the way and place the decimal where it's supposed to be when you're done.

Once it's really figured out, how do you think it would feel being the one paying the electric bills up until now?

It is dangerous to push the narrative that GenAI can "put information back" where it was once removed. Especially dangerous, because most GenAI is built to put something there that is extremely believable. And while an innocent comment on HN might not play the biggest role, the linked project claims exactly what it can - by definition - not do ("a PhotoDNA hash can be used to produce thumbnail-quality reproductions of the original image") and it looks scientific, too.
I don’t have a definite answer as I haven’t worked with Vue that much. Still, I like Svelte syntax a bit better (e.g. {#each x in xs} vs. v-for), and yeah, all the compile time reactivity stuff works out pretty well in terms of performance.

The runes are still optional, I think, and you can still use the old syntax. Not sure if that will be true in Svelte 6 though!
The tree is an incredibly common data structure in computer science. Decision trees are well known. Random forests are ubiquitous in Machine Learning. Should the authors really have to dumb their paper down so people who don’t work in this domain avoid confusing it with work in arborism?
OK. Then write websites instead of apps, unless you are in Germany. If you are in Germany go ahead and develop apps for proprietary storefronts.

Since a number of people are giving pushback, can you point to any (California-oriented) driving instructions consistent with this? I'm not seeing any. I see people saying "it's curteous", but when I'm driving I'm managing hundreds of variables and changing lanes is often risky, given motorcycles lanesplitting at high speed (quite common).
The only way to improve GenAI-slop comments is to delete them, please stop polluting HN.

EDIT: The comments I was referring to got sneakily edited. Another thing that is not nice to do.
Yeah, I'm trying to see what the problem is here. Seems like just a reason to gripe. What difference does any of this makes if the monitor itself is only fed a video signal (i.e. don't connect its wifi). Does the monitor fail to operate without its WiFi connection or something?
I came to see if anyone else has made that connection. I wonder if he saw this and it was an inspiration? Hard to know because he could quite as easily imagined it.
As a journalist once said to me, regarding a different topic (local politics in some city), something like: I wasn't surprised that bribes were happening; I was surprised that the bribes were so small.

Similar applies here: incredulous that, in various aspects of the tech industry, customers/users are often being sold out for such small amounts of money.

(Though manufacturing is easier to understand than a lot of software-only businesses, which aren't about cost engineering.)
"...of nothing, because that's also how the body will react to known stressors."

You say that like it's some sort of brilliant revelation, but that they are reacting to some other stressor and not actually to Wifi is the point.

Since the question under study is not "do people react to perceptions" but "does this person actually react to Wifi signals, specifically Wifi signals and not anything else", it is quite to the point. If Wifi gives you a headache immediately, which is to say, a strong, relatively quick signal, but you can't detect it reliably in a contained environment, then you're wrong about the cause of your headaches, which, as I said, is not even remotely a shocking result. Headaches do not come with labels attached telling you what caused them, unfortunately.

Not all human languages exhibits recursion though:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirah%C3%A3_language

And recursion as the unique trait for human language differentiation is not necessarily completely consensual https://omseeth.github.io/blog/2024/recursive_language/

Also, let's recall that in its broader meaning, the scientific consensus is that humans are animals and they evolved through the same basic mechanism as all other life forms that is evolution. So even assuming that evolution made some unique language hability emerge in humans, it's most likely that they share most language traits with other species and that there is more things to learn from them that what would be possible if it's assumed they can't have a language and thoughts.
Because an 8gb rpi4 costs close to $160. You can buy a m920q i3 with more compute- and with a similar amount of RAM (Conversion losses, Storage, and then Cooling or RAM(a few watts per 8gb) are the largest power consumers) and it can do a lot more than 50mbit. It might actually use less power than the rpi4. And, it could replace whatever is powering the TV display.

Of course, choose your power supply badly and both those sub 10W machines will be 50W at the wall.

I've been an iPhone user since 2016, Android before that. After the first few times I encountered the silent alarm problem, I would make sure to unmute the phone before bed, and also max out both the alert volume control and media volume control, simply tanking the sound of the alerts during the night hoping that the alarm would work. Even doing this, I would still watch the alarm go off silently.

I'm convinced that this was one of the reasons that the sleep schedule app was created, because they wanted to see if a different team wouldn't introduce the same bug.
I meant more than it already is, I referenced this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43339003. I do think it would be neat but it's niche enough to not be worth the non-obvious behavior of boxing with `Option`, e.g. you might forget an `else { ... }` and get complex type errors.

Try buying the regular smart ones and disabling the spyware while keeping the rest of the subsidized price. It would be a legal battle about whether you can actually enforce some terms of use that would prohibit it. The rough part is having to cover the warranty when resold which will cost a lot.

I would start by downloading a 1.58 model such as: https://huggingface.co/HF1BitLLM/Llama3-8B-1.58-100B-tokens

Run the non-quantized version of the model on your 3090/4090 gpu and observe the power draw. Then load the 1.58 model and observe the power usage. Sure, the numbers have a wide range because there are many gpu/npu to make the comparison.
Hopefully there will be some sort of study released relating to the restart of the grid. From memory of the 2003 East Coast Blackout the restart mechanics are fairly complex.
It's evident to Tesla drivers using Full Self-Driving (FSD) that the technology is rapidly improving and will likely succeed. The key reason for this anticipated success is data: any reasonably intelligent observer recognizes that training exceptional deep neural networks requires vast amounts of data, and Tesla has accumulated more relevant data than any of its competitors. Tesla recently held a robotaxi event, explicitly informing investors of their plans to launch an autonomous competitor to Uber. While Elon Musk's timeline predictions and politics may be controversial, his ability to achieve results and attract top engineering and management talent is undeniable.

Pretty sure the guy you’re replying to was half-joking, but adding the words ‘machine learning’ in the first sentence would have cleared this up pretty simply and wouldn’t have resulted in dumbing down anything.

I don't think it's competitive, it's suicidal. No rational storefront would ever tell you all the terrible things about the products they stock, no matter how large or small they are. It's insulting to the suppliers and more importantly, stops people from impulse-buying big-ticket products.

You might argue that showing these "boycotts" would stop people from returning these products, but it would also curtail a whole lot of buyers that would consider it "good enough". Amazon deserves their fair shake by the FTC but if you think this is the reason then you've got pretty bizarre expectations.

"physics said it shouldn't work but tests showed a small effect with widely varying results"

A valid point, and why I phrased it as I did. If you claim that Wifi gives you a headache in, say, 5 minutes, then that's a strong signal that can be tested for. If it fails, then there's a lot of statistical power there. If you claimed that being in a Wifi field for a few days gave you a headache, then my answer is... actually that you're very unlikely to be correct because carefully testing such a problem requires individual trials that take weeks apiece, which you have almost certainly not done. I know from experience; I've done some of my own personal health optimization that takes similar time frames. Some of my results have required years to determine because of the insensitivity of the testing and how long a single trial takes to get significance, and I still wouldn't be my life I've got all the details correct.
I cold emailed a blogger that I learnt a lot from and showed him my app. He liked it, mentioned it, asked a friend with lots of followers to link it. Then it spread by word of mouth, and a few weeks later I had 1000 beta testers.

People build dams for many reasons not just electricity.

Having a reserve of rainwater is a big deal in California, Texas, etc. Letting millions of cubic meters more water flow into the ocean would make the water problems much worse in much of the world. Flood control is similarly a serious concern. Blaming 100% of the issues from dams on Hydropower is silly if outlawing hydropower isn’t going to remove those dams.

Hm. Will Linux drivers permit this thing to talk to the Internet? And if it can't reach the mothership, will it still work as a monitor?

This has exploit potential. If a properly crafted ad can successful take over a monitor, the attacker now owns a USB-C device with an Internet connection. From there, it can make the device pretend to be some other USB device, such as a keyboard, mouse, and USB storage. From that point, they can do almost anything.
