This is something that's obvious to anyone playing with local LLMs but that doesn't seem to be that much well-known even among tech enthusiast.

Qwen is really ahead of the pack right now when it comes to weight-available models.
I do not know Zig, but it looks like it just means "call default constructor for parameter/variable/type". I do not see how you could expect it to be elided unless every function auto-constructs any elided arguments or always has default arguments.

In other words, for a function f(x : T), f(.{}) is f(T()), not f(), where T() is the default constructor for type T.

If we had a function with two parameters g(x : T, y : T2) it would be g(.{}, .{}) which means g(T(), T2()), not g().

It looks like the feature exists to avoid things like:

x : really_long_type = really_long_type(), which can be replaced with x : T = .{} to avoid unnecessary duplication.
We're already there. It's one of the causes of why all our physical infrastructure is failing. When we outsourced our manufacturing in the 90s-2010s, we lost all that talent.

Show HN: MyTrip.city – AI-Powered Travel Itinerary Generator
I am genuinely looking forward for the success of this project. I am just wondering will this support scripting language like VBA for Microsoft Excel?
Creator here. MyTrip.city generates personalized travel itineraries using AI, complete with audio guides and visual content. I built this because manually planning trips across multiple sites was time-consuming and often missed local insights.

Tech Stack:
- Frontend: React (Vite) with Chakra UI
- Backend: Express.js, MongoDB
- AI: GPT-4 for itinerary generation
- Audio: ElevenLabs for guide narration
- Maps integration with interactive visualization
- Containerized with Docker, monitored via Grafana/Prometheus

Key Features:
- Generates 2-3 day personalized itineraries
- GPS-triggered audio guides for landmarks
- Carbon footprint calculator
- Real-time weather integration
- Works offline (PWA)
- Multi-language support

The entire stack is containerized and autoscales based on demand. Would love feedback from the HN community, especially on the architecture and AI implementation.

I mean this would also imply that researchers have an incentive to publish. The incentive to publish and see results that are "good" and "potential treatments" for a disease mean any funding or research grant is seeing a financial motivation to conduct research, and because good outcomes are seen favorably by investors that creates bias and conflict.

I’m not trying to pick on you specifically but that is precisely the kind of neoliberal thinking that has caused such rot in the US (and more broadly, western) military.

Is spending a lot of money the goal or the measurement here? If your goal is actual effectiveness, then things such as force structure, results in recent conflicts, production rates, etc. are what you’d measure. If your goal is funneling money to capitalists then yeah sure budgets and adherence to “%GDP spending targets” from your vassals is what you’d measure.
I am not a lawyer or anything, but how is that legal? If simply opting out of the legal system is an option, why does it exist?
The Paper Pro looks gorgeous, but its specific use case and the closed nature of the platform (despite it being a linux OS) makes it less appealing.

You are aware of the historical fact that there was a cold war when these things were designed?
I’ve got two!

The first is CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com) which is my attempt to bring the best code review experience to teams on GitHub. It’s heavily inspired by the excellent tooling I saw within Google (Critique, for Googlers out there). Been running this solo for 4+ years and I have a very modest base of paying customers.

The second is GitGuard (https://gitguard.dev) which is a flexible rules engine for GitHub PRs. Basically a supercharged version of GitHub’s branch protections and code owners tools that uses a super simple “language” (basically a Boolean logic builder) to let you define your team’s approval policies in a very flexible way. Ex: “if the PR contains over 10 files or 200 lines and doesn’t contain any test files, require approval from someone in the tech-lead group”

> That was the realm of srs workstations like the ones SGI made

Not exact. First, funny note, Seymour Cray admit, he used Macintosh to design Cray.

Second, existed activity of using Atari ST for 3D design, as sort of companion machine for special model of Commodore, which could process analog video. As I seen, they directly write frame-by-frame on Betacam.

Sure, rendering on ST with 68k was slow even with TV resolution, but they made lot of commercials on TV.

In late 90s, TV commercials made on MMX or Pentium-Pro with 16..32mb of RAM, and use PC frame grabber cards and RAID HDD. And that's history, how SGI become bankrupt - just when Maya was ported to x86 this become end.
I am saying it is a thing that exists and it is completely valid to mention it, talk about or complain about it. I am saying the trying to pretend it does not exist or is not something that affects people is just ... lying to yourself and others.

It's nice, but doesn't have the advantages of e-ink.

I work similarly to the person in the parent article, but use a mix of devices:

- Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 --- running Windows 11 this is used for development and web browsing and art/drawing and 3D modeling and so forth

- Kindle Scribe --- ebook reader and notepad --- sometimes will use the web browser for referencing documentation

- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ --- on-the-go usages

- Wacom One (gen 1 13 inch stylus display) attached to an Apple MacBook --- affords the ability to draw/annotate

The big thing is all 3 devices use the same Wacom EMR stylus technology, so it's seamless switching from one to the other when using a stylus.
That sounds wrong. Perhaps you're confusing frequency with likelihood?

IQ is standardised so that population scores on a standard test have a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. It's possible to obtain this with as fewer than 100 people, distributed as:

* One "genius" who scores 200

* One "dumbass" who scores 0

* 87 "everyman" who score 100.

The mean here is clearly 100, and the variance is sqrt(20000/89) = 14.99.

Of course this is very contrived and doesn't look much like a Bell curve in the first place. But with say a million people it wouldn't take much to come up with a more realistic looking example.
That seems unamerican and unfair to the company.

Edit: this was sarcasm.
> Do you have any concerns about how capital openly purchases the interests of politicians in the us?

The U.S. and the West at large aren’t perfect, but it fairs much better than most of the world in preventing corruption.

Capital also purchases influence in developing/underdeveloped countries, but in a much worse way. It’s often very cheap because desperate locals are willing to sell out their country for any meager amount.

Here’s a fitting example: Benny Steinmetz (a mining tycoon) paid $8.5 million in bribes to the spouse of Guinea’s former President to obtain exploration permits for a mine [1].

Steinmetz sold 51% of the mine shortly after for $2.5 billion [2]. In other words, he extracted 300x the bribe, and the Guinean official never bothered to think her country was being robbed in broad daylight by the bribe she received.

Many similar cases occur in Africa, wherein foreign companies pay cheap bribes to rob countries of their resources.

The African leaders (and populace) are often willing to part with their resources for cash rather than harnessing it for internal development (this part is difficult, unlike the easy way of collecting cash and spending it foolishly).

Add in endless petty corruption, and the result is the mediocrity of many countries that we see.

> Identity politics is a goddamn failure.

It’s a goddamn failure except for the fact that it worked. Okay. Definitely the definition of “horseshit strategy” is one where the side that pushes it hardest wins.

And the idea that it was a Republican strategy only in response to the Democrats is a joke—identity politics has been the cornerstone of Republican strategy my entire life. Complaining about black people, gay people, trans people, metrosexuals, childless cat ladies. Anyone they think they can get others to hate. It’s clear that it works for them, but don’t expect anyone to believe you when you pretend it’s not what they do.

It's a statistical guess, as with most phenomena. When individuals, alone, consistently travel toward direction without observable prompting, it's expected there is another stimuli. This may be an unseen force (birds following magnetic fields). However, it appears there is a genetic component.

The immune system is several systems. One of my favorite parts is the Thymus.

It's literally setup like a gauntlet. New immune cells from marrow come through the Thymus and are tested. They need to pass through and attack foreign cells then pass through and _not_ attack host cells. They are essentially tagged and filtered by this process.

Most cells are let go into the body, some cells are reserved as self regulatory cells, and the others that do not pass are destroyed.

It's a literal quality control and selection machine for your immune system.

Nobody has the full view of reality. It's always projected through a lens colored by feelings, emotions, upbringing, education, environment etc. When you hate something, it's not always because have a fully rational motive to hate, but often the things your have experienced, you have read and heard, leads you into that trajectory without you even realizing it. Same goes for love. You hate TikTok and millions of your fellow Americans love TikTok, does that mean you are in a higher position of enlightenment and more holistic view of the universe? I don't think so.

It's also pure nonsense that TikTok is somehow "misleading" the American youth. It's basically a recommendation engine. And what's the job of a recommendation engine? To give you whatever content you might be interested in. Just go to youtube and start clicking all the garbage content (if they are not censored already), you will end up with a lot of garbage in your feed. Because if you spend a lot of time watching garbage, the algorithm will think you like garbage and will push garbage onto your frontpage.
Indentured labour was done by contract for a fixed period, and they were paid. For people who believe that there was workers who got on the ships through their own agency this is important. This undoubtedly happened along with those who were compelled or deceived.

Frankly, I think the reason that it is not more often referred to as slavery is because it wasn’t officially referred to as such contemporaneously. But there is legitimate debate around the differences between Indian indentured servitude and slavery.
Sure but that was so propaganda heavy nothing can be trusted from that era. What do people actually think today and why? Surely we live in such a free society now people are actually free to explain their viewpoints and reasoning.

Besides, invoking the cold war explains little (aside from invoking the propaganda of the time). The soviets live-streamed the moon landing. The idea that they were necessarily antagonistic is simply inaccurate. Not to mention what they would gain from fucking with satellites remains unexplained.

I've thought about doing something like this before, but my understanding was that GPUs are especially efficient at rendering from textures, while being relatively slow at bit twiddling. So although you're saving a little bit of memory here, is it actually faster than having an atlas?

Maybe you could get the best of both worlds by bitpacking into a regular texture, with a fragment shader doing the decoding.

That “.” substitution of an inferred type is going to fire back. I really appreciate when code has one simple property: you search a type by name and you get all of the places where it’s constructed. Makes it easy to refactor the code and reason about it with local context. It’s the case with Rust, but not C++ or Zig.
And that’s fair, it’s certainly more monotone and less human but knowing me, I would make ten mistakes before I finally got to a good cut.

That's true. The protocol aware recovery paper [1] talked about the challenges of disentangling corruption in the middle of the log vs uncommitted data at the end of the log. This is an issue in other log-based systems as well.

The OP made it sound like an oversight rather than an implication of assuming that the filesystem won't return corrupt data that was successfully written and fsync'ed. Sqlite is pretty upfront about the tradeoffs: https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html#_failure_to_sync

Joe Rogan is not a substitute for news, but he has a knack of "opening up" people he is talking to.

In a democracy, voters tend to vote more for people than for policies. (It is less irrational than it looks: personalities don't change much, while policies can be thrown out at a moment's notice, or never taken seriously in the first place.) In that sense, looking deeper into politicians' minds is a valuable service, a counterweight to the usual photo-op game and wide fake smiles shining on billboards.

Ask HN: How is the job search going?
Out of work since August. I have submitted many resumes. I have to work remotely, so that might be against me, but I have never seen this kind of job market. In the past I would have 40 offers by this point with the number of applications I have submitted. My wife is pointing out that many jobs these days may be scams. This is something new to me since in the past I would have no problem just applying to a few jobs in the monthly HN job postings and something might land pretty quickly (within a month or so). I also found it really really odd that in the weeks after the Nov 1 post, I have been getting a LOT of new spam. I think some of the posters are fake.

At this point, our financial situation is getting dire, as we eat away our savings to pay bills. Does anyone know if this is related to the higher interest rate? When will the situation change?

Operator precedence is an addition to parsing of expressions. Both of them is needed if you accept "2 + 1" kind of expression. "2 + 2 * 2" must be evaluated like "2 + (2 * 2)". Only expression parsing will evaluate them like 8.

I try to filter for better customers and I use higher prices and the better service that pays for to discriminate between better and worse customers.

In my experience when people get more by paying more they tend towards positive behaviors because the relationship is clear and one they deliberately chose. And customers who will pay more to get more are the best kind of customers on average. Good luck.
