Your whole argument boils down to "don't write shit software" which yeah, fair, but in the real world, the company that you just joined has shit code that evolved over 10 years and has accumulated all sorts of legacy cruft. The idea that there is "absolutely no need to launch a set of ad-hoc self-contained services to run a service locally and work on it" just doesn't match the reality of most places I've worked at. You either got very lucky or you didn't work on complex enough systems.
Personal Prompt Engineer
tldr: chrome extension for automated prompt engineering

A few weeks ago, I was was on my mom's computer and saw her ChatGPT tab open. After seeing her queries, I was honestly repulsed! It was so obvious that she didn't know the first thing about prompt engineering, but I thought I'd build her something instead of making her learn. I created Promptly AI, a free chrome extension that extracts the prompt you'll send to ChatGPT, optimize it and return it back for you to send. This way, people (like my mom) don't need to learn prompt engineering (although they still probably should) to get the best ChatGPT experience. Would love if you guys could give it a shot and some feedback! Thanks!

Right now, the extension focuses on implementing Chain of Thought prompting but there's a long way to go.
One thing to remember is that the enterprise space is very conservative: AMD needed to have server-grade CPUs for all of the security and management features on the market long enough for the vendors to certify them, promise support periods, etc. and they need to get the enterprise software vendors to commit as well.

The public clouds help a lot here by trivializing testing and locking in enough volume to get all of the basic stuff supported, and I think that’s why AMD was more successful now than they were in the Opteron era.
I mean, if you're not in a military committing atrocities, clearly you shouldn't have any voice in saying if that military should commit atrocities- because then you’re offering no solution or doing anything to make things better. Makes perfect sense to me. /s
That was the first album I put on my record player when I finally got a decent set up. There's a reason that is so popular. It's so so good. You really miss out when you listen to it in any other format; it plays like one continuous song. It's so good.
Thanks just found that, but again that's their documentation. What were their testing conditions like?

Well anyhow, it does seem like there are filters with lead removal, so fair enough.
Sure, also if the framework you are using makes it easier to create logs that are helpful
This looks interesting, are there any plans to support snowflake external browser auth?
You make some good points.

Not convinced LLMs should be mandatory reporters. However well intentioned that initiative is a torrent of nonsense foisted on overworked social workers, like the automatic 911 dialers in phones.

> Someone talking to a "yes, and" dialogue tree about intrusive thoughts is a recipe for obsessive behavior

Works both ways though. Nothing is more infuriating than an LLM denying or minimizing your problem, or using logical fallacies to shut the conversation down.

This is pretty common with cults; the layers of euphemism and abstraction they use make you sound insane when you try to articulate abuse to authorities (or an LLM in this case).

I use the word cult deliberately; if your issue involves certain topics, you encounter a layer finetuned for positive PR.

>Pando is unique because it can only reproduce asexually

Is that true? I've seen it mentioned in non-scientific articles, but have never seen anything scientific saying so. I'm not sure why Pando would be different from any other member of its species.
Not to mention that ARM keeps closing in on their ISA moat via Apple, Ampere, Graviton and so on. Their last bastion is the fact that Microsoft keeps botching Windows for ARM every time they try to make it happen.
RTO mandates for remote hired workers aught to be considered defacto constructive dismissal and grounds for a civil suit for lost wages. The fact that companies can pull this kind of bait and switch is A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y. a miscarriage of justice that is harming families and ruining lives.

Hi Hacker News!

We're excited to introduce T1MEL1NE, a new social network designed with a focus on community input, simplicity, and authentic interactions. Traditional social platforms can feel cluttered, algorithm-driven, and impersonal, so we set out to build something different – a place where users are empowered to shape the platform itself.

T1MEL1NE is community-driven, meaning that user feedback directly influences our roadmap, feature development, and updates. Our goal is to make a social network that adapts to its users' needs rather than forcing users to adapt to it.

Key features:

Minimalist Design: A clean, modern interface with easy navigation.
User-Centered Development: We prioritize user suggestions, letting the community vote on new features.
Authentic Connections: No overwhelming algorithms – just a straightforward way to connect with people and content that matter.
We’d love to get feedback from the HN community and hear your thoughts! We're all about collaboration, so any insights, suggestions, or questions are welcome.

Thanks for checking out T1MEL1NE. We’re here to answer any questions and would love to hear your take on building a platform by the people, for the people.
And someone next to them saying there's a chip that already does that, with someone standing next to them holding a commercial product that does the thing, and someone next to them tell everybody it's all a waste of time.

Someone's going to judge what you do regardless. As long as you're not hurting someone else, go build what you want to build, others be damned.
Other engineering disciplines, for one.

And I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm just saying it's done properly.

I don't believe that waking the waker in `poll` synchronously waits / runs poll again immediately. I think it is more likely just adding the future back to the global queue to be polled. I could be wrong though, I'll look into this more. Thanks for the info!

Verilog has a sliding-window part select, which produces a slice that has a fixed width. It's an lvalue expression (it can be assigned to). It's ternary.

array[addr +: W]

or

array[addr -: W]

The former chooses W elements beginning at addr, the latter chooses W elements ending at addr.
I believe the difference is that rhizomes are special structures meant for reproduction, whereas with Pando and other quaking aspens, it's just normal tree roots that pop up near the surface and start growing into trees.

+1. I'd be curious how much of a pessimization to uncontended workloads it'd be to just use `tokio::sync::RwLock`.

>The fact that Pando is a single organism is so confusing to me.

All of the tree stalks are connected to the same roots, so it's all one big organism.
Complicated. Performance per watt was better for Intel, which matters way more when you're running a large fleet. Doesn't matter so much for workstations or gamers, where all that matters is performance. Also, certification, enterprise management story, etc was not there.

Maybe recent EPYC had caught up? I haven't been following too closely since it hasn't mattered to me. But both companies were suggesting an AMD pass by.

Not surprising at all though, anyone who's been following roadmaps knew it was only a matter of time. AMD is /hungry/.
Let's say in 1 year, more agents than humans interact with the web.

Do you think:
1. Websites release more API functions for agents to interact with them
or
2. We will transform with tools like this the UI into functions callable by agents and maybe even cache all inferred functions for websites in a third party service?

The CFTC argues that allowing betting on political events could "commoditize and degrade the integrity of the uniquely American experience of participating in the democratic electoral process." and that betting might incentivize election interference, which could erode public trust in electoral outcomes.

It's worth mentioning that betting on elections has happened in black markets for centuries with none of these negative outcomes, as far as I know.

But I share the same concern: if there is a legal market for betting on election events with billions or trillions on the line, eventually someone will interfere with an election. We've seen this in sports, we definitely don't need it in American politics.
Interesting. Yeah I quite like a walking meeting for the same side-by-side kind of thing. I imagine meetings over golf would have similar dynamics, but haven't ever tried that.

I doubt there will be a satisfactory answer for a long time.
For sure, I personally use pgvector myself but I also don't have millions and millions of rows. I haven't messed with anything other than Pinecone so I can't speak to those services, but there's a big difference than a vector db for your own personal use and a chat app/search on a db with millions of users convos and docs, not sure how well these managed vector DB platforms scale, but you probably need the db guy anyways when you're using vectors at scale. Atleast I would.

I would trust his first statement more than his second. He only backed off after he faced criticism that could affect the congressman's election. The CHIPS act is a huge Biden policy win so you can bet the GOP will want to repeal it.
FWIW, there _is_ work being done on the hobby front for IC fabrication "at home". We're still far from buying a miniature chip-fab-in-a-box product, but current technology makes yesterday's tech far more affordable. We're on our way.

Because corporate taxes are paid on profit (revenue-expenses). So as a company I can claim a lot of stuff as a expenses. Executive salaries? Anything left after that? Lemme quickly create a separate company in some low tax jurisdiction and pay them for marketing expenses, and suddenly I have no profits, and nothing to tax. Regular people can't do that.

You also generally can't tax the revenue instead of profits (except perhaps few percent of revenue as the minimal tax), because different companies have hugely different amounts of revenue and expenses.

Yes, the sight of 60 names on the WW1 memorial board in the JCR at Lincoln was always quite sobering, considering what the student population must have been in 1914. It's still a small college but that would have been an enormous proportion at the time.
I wish MTR (My Traceroute) was standard in all operating systems. It offers a number of benefits over Traceroute. MTR essentially combines the functionalities of traceroute and ping, providing a more comprehensive and dynamic view of network paths and performance.

MTR runs continuously, gathering real-time stats that reveal both packet loss and latency trends over time. MTR provides minimum, average, and maximum response times, plus the standard deviation. This is especially useful for troubleshooting intermittent issues or spotting latency spikes.

Of course, MTR isn’t perfect and still faces some of the same challenges as traceroute, like dealing with ICMP rate-limiting, load-balanced paths, or certain network setups that obscure hops. But overall, it provides a richer, more nuanced view, making it a preferred tool for network diagnostics and troubleshooting.
> seriously challenged on its home turf.

Is it? I presume that a large chunk of the AMD's $3.5B is MI3XX chips, and very little of Intel's $3.5B is AI, so doesn't that mean that Xeon likely still substantially outsells EPYC?
> I'm not sure I'd say that it can't be done. In some languages it could be implemented if the language itself supports optionals. So "bool ? x" could result in an Optional<type(x)>, while "Optional<type(x)> : y" could be the typical implementation of value_or that is found on optionals.

It is tricky because, in

flag ? x : y;

exactly one of x and y gets evaluated.

So, flag ? x would have to evaluate flag first, and only evaluate x if that has a truthy value.

That can be tricky in many languages, for example if the programmer writes

(b ≠ 0) ? a ÷ b : 0;

You’d need lazy evaluation of arguments or something similar.

The easiest way to get started is look around for others by themselves, then walk over and say hi. Realize they're likely feeling similar to you.

Every time you sit down for a talk, challenge yourself to sit near someone and introduce yourself. At lunch, find an empty seat at a busy table. As you do this, you'll see the people you met earlier and will feel more confident.

Also ask people if they know if anyone's gathering afterward. Nearly everyone will either invite you, tell you what they know, or be interested in doing something after too.

In absolute, I agree with you. But personally if I had to chose between tax evasion (permitted by those schemes) and having less multinational companies because it’d be more difficult… well, my country was doing pretty okay before multinationals and is not doing okay since every taxes are evaded.

> if there is a legal market for betting on election events with billions or trillions on the line, eventually someone will interfere with an election.

There are already billions or trillions on the line, and people have far larger incentives already. Betting wouldn't appreciably add to that.

Organized betting ruins everything. Betting shouldn't be a business, it should be something done between a group of people for fun (like a work pool or a madness bracket between friends). Legalizing sports betting was one of the dumbest decisions and the impact of it on sports has been terrible.

> never had a cracked screen

That is interesting. People usually just buy screen protectors and call it a day since screens are pretty fragile and phones hate gravity.

Possible reason/s for not having a cracked screen for 15 years:

1) No kids around

2) No wife/fiancé around

3) not much of a social life

4) never walked in public with phone in use

5) phone only used in certain places with carpets to cushion fall.

6) only ever had 2 smartphones. The other is the beefy CAT phone.

7) not a sports fan

8) the phone is hardly ever used for anything more than a simple call or text.

Is it any of the above?
