> which one step after another fixes the problems of C++

Somehow, multiple groups of people have recently decided they want to "fix the problem": Carbon, Circle, CppFront2. But apparently, it's different fixes, and the formulation of the "the problem" is different.

I am wary of rushing to do this, considering the fate of the D, a previous attempt to "fix the problem" with C++.

This userscript (can use as a bookmarklet) lets you catchup to all unseen stories quickly. Open HN, click bookmarklet, any new stories will be appended with a "(NEW)". Old stories, will show much their rank was changed. Can set a flag to hide seen stories, or set comment and points threshold to hide/show old stories.

To me it makes it very quick to catchup. I just go over a few pages and can quickly see every new story that I have not seen yet.
Show HN: Launching an AI search engine for Czechia
We are launching an AI powered search engine for the Czech market. We are launching an AI powered search engine for the Czech market. We are launching an AI powered search engine for the Czech market. Our search engine leverages intelligent agents to explore both the web and its own dynamically built internal database, created as it crawls sites. We believe this approach delivers more meaningful results, bypassing the clutter of sponsored content and SEO-gamed pages that dominate traditional search rankings.
Surely you understand how any algorithm (regardless of its nature) that gives the cheater the list of reasons why it spotted cheating will only work for a single iteration before the cheaters adapt, right?
Ah, I think I misunderstood you. Yes, this does mean that you need something else to define the typescript to json schema conversion—either by using another tool or by starting from json schema and getting to the typescript types you want.

It can scale - I worked in two huge companies dominating the world markets, and we did fine with global support - but they say this is not theirs business model. Well without competition they can do what they want, but customers prefer support and accountability. That's why most countries eventually came up with anti-trust legislation.
There are about 90 core developers who can vote. At most 30 of those are active and have any clue of what happens on the issue tracker or discuss.python.org.

For the other 60, if someone was friendly to them 30 years ago, they still think he is a awesome chap even if he is now a venomous bureaucrat.

Approval voting is used, and SC members often sail through with just 30 of 90 votes. The pool of candidates is limited due to lack of interest and the perception that only the inner circle will somehow get the required low bar of around 30 votes. Also, people are intimidated since the SC ruins careers and gets away with lying.

The whole thing has the dynamics of a high school party where somewhat popular people dominate the scene and a handful of intelligent people stand in the corner and wonder where the popularity comes from.

It is all a deeply unprofessional setup.

Also note: traffic costs. On Hetzner, it's almost impossible to pay for traffic. Even their tiniest machine has 20 TB outgoing traffic (and unlimited incoming). If you used it up (you most probably wont), that's another 1,792 USD of costs saved by your tiny 4$/month VM compared to AWS. (At least if I was able to use the AWS cost calculator correctly).

They will have object storage soon, but dont hold your breath for one-click kubernetes etc. So the fancier you infrastructure, the more you your startup would need to invest in time and money to use Hetzner and thus make it "not worth it".

"Is GHQ a good game? Sure. For its time. For its place. Had it appeared in 1956, it may well have become the third great checkerboard game. With its zones of control and special units, it might have helped shape the coming century’s approach to tabletop gaming.

But that isn’t what happened. In our time and place, GHQ is a serviceable game. It suffers from the same endgame as many modern abstracts, packed with fiddly little moves that amount to very little. We would write that it could have used a good developer. But that doesn’t really matter."

Yeah I know, too many folks at WG21 think is this going to be just like Ada so they are on the clear.

Except that back then, it mostly failed due to the prices of compilers adjusted to goverment level contracts, the few UNIX vendors like Sun that sold such compilers it was extra not part of the regular UNIX SDK, the cost of hardware to run modern Ada compilers (Rational started as a Ada Machine company), so it was dropped as requirement, and thus stuff like JPL, MISRA, AUTOSAR, F-35 C++ (what a success this one),... that allowed cheaper development with guiderails.

Now that exploits have money placed on them, in fixing CVEs, pushing fixes into devices, insurances paying for downtime,.... goverments and companies burning that money, have reached the conclusion that software is now critical infrastructure, and must be dealt accordingly like everything else that is criticial in modern societies.

This is not going to be Ada again, as much some folks wish for.
It may be time to step back and ask "Why do students cheat?"

I think the answer is "The Stakes" of getting a poor "grade" that follows you in and ranks you. Eliminate that, and tests become a valuable self assessment of where a student is. Teaches become partners in growth, not adversaries that can cause long term harm with a black mark.
Maybe we will finally start appreciating making short concise essays instead of useless filler pages like I had to do over the 20 years I spent studying.

You can run GPT-4-equivalent models locally. Even if all software and hardware advancements immediately halt, models at the current level will remain available.
The name of the project is its domain so I'd have to separate them out, which is why I've kept the demo site online for years now, despite basically no usage, I'm also a big fan of being able to try something before you go through the effort of deploying it yourself.

The project is already open-source on Github, but I don't actively link to it in public forums because I don't want to have to deal with it being used for questionable/illegal content, which is also the reason I haven't added some of the features I'd like to, and severely limited the size and duration for the demo site.

It's been a nice toy project, I added multiple architectures support for the Docker image builds when I was working out how to do that, manifests to deploy it in Kubernetes when I was first learning that and even made it a Nix flake when I first started playing with NixOS; The code itself is written in Go with a goal of using zero external (outside of standard library) dependencies, keeping the code small and clean for non-programmers to be able to understand and uses some Go features that were new/interesting to me at the time they were added.

It'd need to grow a lot and forgo some of those goals for me to add the features I would like to see, but for something nobody will use, and I use quite sparingly myself, there's no need.

There is much you have misunderstood about the science and the regulation that I will need to say you have to read about it more.

> Especially considering that this is the exact mechanism behind one of the most well known EM radiation health concerns, UV-radiation.

The UV health risk is based on the thermal effect when it comes to cancer. And this is pretty much the only thing they look for in EMF health and safety. There is a concern the ROS do more than just cause cancer, like mood disoders, fatigue, immune issues, etc.

All of the studies that are regulating safety ONLY look at the thermal effect in regard to DNA damage.
I remember enjoying using Windows 2000/XP but I feel like that's my nostalgia talking. I was customizing a new installation for days, messing with registry keys and obscure settings dialogs. It was never that user-friendly to begin with. After having used MacOS for the last few years, I do not miss the hassle.

To be fair, not a lot of things were user-friendly back then, and Windows was the standard consumer OS for a good reason. It was solidly OKAY.

Using the latest versions of Windows, however, is just infuriating even without any complicated setup.

>While AWS and Azure are industry leaders, their advantages often only materialize at massive scales. [...]

Your comparisons are similar to many others out there that focus on measuring basic cpu and memory. This type of easy comparison where AWS/Azure/GCP is treated as a "dumb" datacenter is easy for alternatives like Hetzner or self-hosting to "win".

>Do you really need the advanced features of AWS and Azure right now? Or would a simple virtual machine at a reasonable price be sufficient? [...] There’s a growing movement among tech companies and startups to opt for more cost-effective hosting solutions like Hetzner. The high costs associated with AWS and Azure

Many (most?) YC startups are not using AWS as a low-level dumb data center with blank EC2 virtual machines and installing infrastructure software like Linux and PostgreSQL on it. Instead, they are using higher-level AWS managed services such as DynamoDB, Kinesis, SQS, etc :

Therefore, the more difficult comparison (that almost no blog post ever does) is the startup's costs for its employees to re-create/re-invent the set of higher-level AWS services that they need.

Sure, there's the "but you don't need to pay expensive AWS costs for DynamoDB when one can just install open-source Cassandra at Hetzner; and instead of AWS Kinesis, install your own Kafka, etc". Well, you add up more and more of those "just install and manage your own X,Y,Zs" and you can end up crossing the threshold where paying AWS cloud fees cost less than your staff maintaining it. The threshold for AWS isn't just massive scale of 100+ million users. The threshold can be the complexity and scope of higher-level services you need the cloud to take care of on your behalf so your small team can concentrate on the aspects of the business that are true differentiators. In other words, instead of employees installing Cassandra, they're adding features to the smartphone app.

If your company doesn't need any of the Big 3 clouds' higher-level platform services, it's easier to save money with alternatives.
Can confirm. We are using Sphinx(-Needs actually) and I can send deeplinks to develop, release or feature branch rendered docs to everyone, including non technical staff. You just have to know the "latest of develop" or release links always work, the branch ones are for quick and ephemeral communication only. We include PlantUML and drawio as source along with the code and PR reviews check that code and doc update in sync.

I don't know what the modules Bowman is unplugging in the HAL computer represented in the film back then, but today they can easily be seen as each being a CPU board, GPU or SSD.

Not sure it still applies, but I didn't like Linode because they minded the disk arrangement too much. Prescribing the layout/geometry in the UI. Something about their implementation prevents one from just loading a typical cloudy image.

Unfortunately, it's a false dichotomy you present, it's not a binary choice of fully managed or entirely roll your own.

E.g., if you're running K8s (one thing I typically recommend you buy a managed one of), you can install your own Kafka in it, using an operator that does about 85% of what MSK does.

Sure, you'll need to dedicate person hours to support the operator, but is supporting that any more expensive than supporting AWS products? That you're already paying through the nose for?
