Yes, I was surprised to see that there is no mention of the Anthropic Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle), which describes exactly what you're saying.

Of course, other kinds of life are possible, which would require other "just right" conditions - but in that case, we'd all be living in that universe, marveling at those coincidences!

This is just a heuristic to determine if the event is keydown or click.

In the article the author says that the issue is that the same function is handling both events, and they will work on refactoring it to something better.

The normal approach is just have different functions answering to different events. Or using more precise information about the event [1], instead of a heuristic.

I'm curious: what about the italics, specifically, bothers you? Those are important points or modifiers and italics are a way I draw attention to them.

Everyone takes many of the interfaces they use for granted. I certainly do-- I regularly take my phone's simple, clean mail client for granted despite my first mail client being mutt, but it's really, really clean and gives far more features than mutt ever could. (And a phone is one of the few places I would not prefer using vim style editing.) Having had hundreds of discussions with dozens of developers about interface design, I can assure you that they are no different. It's just that developers often have competing needs in software projects, so it turns into a point of contention. In a regular development organization, the product manager or whoever has the final say. In FOSS projects, the maintainers do. If they're not keenly aware of how much more valuable a good, expertly defined interface brings to a piece of software, they're going to make a worse piece of software, unnecessarily. I've served in both roles professionally and have seen these issues from both sides, many times. An organization controlled by designers would probably be even worse.

So with the amount of shit I've had slung at me when acting as a software designer, I think what I wrote is a pretty measured addition to a conversation that is very important to me. I see most end-user-facing FOSS software getting absolutely no adoption among non-technical users because it sucks for them to use, and I see a lot of developers not entirely sure why that is and coming up with a bunch of folk explanations like "commercial software has advertising" or "their version is dumbed down and looks pretty and end users are dumb and refuse to read docs." I've got important insight into the real reasons why, and as someone that's probably contributed 10k hours of my time to writing FOSS code (admittedly, some of it was paid,) I think I'm entirely justified in sharing it. If you disagree, I'd be interested to hear why, but even if you're not interested in explaining why, I respect your stance on the matter.

I apologize if I bothered you with my wording or even just the what I was expressing (seriously), generally, but I failed to bring attention to these ideas presenting them meekly. The Mastodon situation is exactly the sort of thing I was trying to prevent. Not only did Mastodon repel a giant influx of users with it's usability problems-- big and small-- it gave many, if not most of those users the impression that FOSS software is weird, confusing, and exclusively for nerds, and that's the sort of thing that's going to keep open source alternatives alternative instead of having commercial alternatives to the default, free option.
> Tesla told us that they'll start making a cheaper model sometime in 2025.

Next, you'll tell me that RoboTaxi is coming within 6 months.

Roadster is now 4 years late and has no release date planned. FSD is how many years late, now?

Tesla is the king of missed timelines and broken promises. I'd be surprised if they even actually had a desire to make a cheaper car. Their claims are just lies to boost the stock price. Margins on a base Model 3 are already incredibly slim.
This reminds me of Department of Defense Climate Risk Analysis from three years ago where they remind us that there will be increased international conflicts due to the effects of climate change:

> and fly up to 500 miles without having to stop to recharge

500 miles is nothing. The median flight distance for a commercial flight is ~2000 miles. And this is a concept plane. Certification of a plane is ~5-9 years so let's assume on the longer side since electric planes aren't really a thing. So 20% of your time budget has been spent building a replacement for a puddle jumper. There's a lot of them but the real fuel consumption happens by the large commercial jets.

You likely would not sue anybody, because you have not suffered any loss. Unless you are being fined by the local building department for having such materials in your home, or can demonstrate some kind of loss of resale value, which would probably be difficult.

Enforcement of this kind of stuff has to happen much higher in the supply chain, e.g. by criminal prosecution of the importers for breaking the law, not civil claims by homeowners.
This is fantastic news. I've been using Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct with Ollama locally and it's honestly such a breathe of fresh air. I wonder if any of you have had a moment to try this newer context length locally?

we are all greedy, it's human nature, and greed is good, it makes us strive and human striving is what brings us all benefits.

So when I use greed, it's not meant as an insult. Only people who use it as an insult (frequently socialists), as if they themselves are not greedy, need to hear it hurled at them, simply as a proof of "hey, you're a human too, stop thinking you're better than other people".

Show HN: Kamal Handbook, 2nd Edition
Hi fellow readers of HN,

I made a new edition of Kamal Handbook to address the big leap of changes from Kamal 2. A lot had to be rewritten and I made the book even a bit longer and better as much as I could.

Kamal is an imperative deployment tool. It's basically a successor to Capistrano, but for a container era. Kamal 2 is solving the main painpoints people had with version 1:

- auto SSL for single-server deployments

- multiple apps on a single-server

- unifying ENV management with 'kamal deploy'

- faster deploys

I really believe that Kamal is now a better option than Docker Compose or Dokku, perhaps even than Kubernetes (use-case provided).

Compared to my previous HN announcement of the first edition mentioning 300 sales, I now crossed 1000+ sales on Gumroad.

I cut a new preview for SHOW HN again here:

Yeah, you aren't kidding. This particular project was a work of modern abstract art.

Imagine a large C++ code base with that was written by people that knew Java, Delphi and maybe a little C but apparently no C++. It was a mess of manual memory management errors, re-implemented Delphi classes like TString instead of using C++ equivalents, etc.

Why they decided to implement it in C++ instead of a language they knew I'll never understand. It took me about 2 months of continuous effort to replace all the C-isms, TStrings, XML config, etc with sane C++ equivalents. After I was done, it'd run for months with no issues whereas before you were lucky if it'd run for 2 days without it crashing.

Needless to say, I felt accomplished because I didn't get paged in the middle of the night from the thing falling over all the time.
So are they human like and therefore not anything special or are they super human magic? I never get the equivocation when people complain how there is no way to objectively tell what out is right or wrong people either say they are getting better, or they work for me, or that people are just as bad. No they aren't! Not in the same way these things are bad.
No, you have history on its head. It was not seen as an absolute until the , and 2008, in District of Columbia v. Heller, then strengthened in 2010 in McDonald v. City of Chicago. Prior to that reasonable regulations were allowed (and what is reasonable was hotly debated) were permitted, so long as there were legitimate government interests.

The main point of the Second Amendment from the framers perspective was to prevent the need (or even the existence) of a standing army. Of course from a modern perspective this is near-ridiculous.
The whole point of a burner is that you don’t trust it. You only store what you absolutely need to store on there, if anything, and basically assume it’s compromised the second it leaves your sight.

The advantage of a burner phone is that it can’t contain anything important, because you’ve never put anything important on it, or connected it to any system that contains important data. So it doesn’t really matter if it’s compromised, because the whole point of a burner, is that it’s so unimportant you can burn it the moment it so much as looks at you funny.
I would argue the opposite actually. The same way we don't call someone who are able to do arithmetic calculations very fast a genius if they can't think in more useful mathematical way and construct novel ideas. The samething is happening here, these tools are useful in retrieving and processing current information at high speeds but intelligence is not about the ability to process some data at high speed and then recall them. This is what we actually call servant. It is the ability to build on top this knowledge retrieval and use reason to create new ideas is a closer definition of intelligence and would be better goal.
> the modern police, at least in the US,
There are all sorts of application for this. E.g. optimally cutting carpets from rolls of carpet. It is a variant on the 2D knapsack problem, one of the classic operational research problems:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

The knapsack problem gets much harder as you increase the dimensions.

Placing parts on a PCB is harder if you have to care about where the components go relative to each other (e.g. because they have to be electrically connected, a certain distance from ink marking or drill holes, due to thermal or interference issues etc) rather than just optimizing space used.

Thank you for the detailed answers! Honestly, this project inspires me to work on infrastructure problems.

So you are saying that regatta's own SaaS infrastructure provides the disk caching layer. So you all make sure the pipe between my AWS instance and your servers are very fast and "infinitely scalable", and then the sync to S3 happens after the fact.
One of the fun parts about working on storage and file systems in particular, is that these techniques are old as time. Log-structured writes, journals, caching, etc -- are all non-novel. However, the benefit to our customers is in how easy we make it for them to use something like this without having to deploy or build it themselves.
I came into CS during a year they were trying to rework the intro class. Several of the homework assignments simply did not work. Which taught me that procrastination doesn’t just feel good, it also pays off. If I waited until three days before it was due before I even looked at it, there would be a whole thread about corrections and clarifications. Though in a couple cases they were still sorting things out and people were calling for extensions (one of which I believe we got).

And this at a top ten school for CS.

There are healthy ways to exploit an urge to procrastinate but this is just feeding the monster, and I hope the prof was ashamed of himself.
Oh, the really bad part of WEI is not the privacy impact.

The real thing is the gating of every kind of information exchange and treatment in the hands of a few entities, that get the power to say who will participate on those activities and doing exactly what.

That is, the complete elimination of the freedom of association and initiative from our society. At least around any one of those that involve computers.

The lost of privacy is a rounding error.
Oh god, please don't use Fritzing. I absolutely despise those useless diagrams. Actually, less than useless because they're often outright misleading.

Isn't data-oriented design about organizing the data in a way that reflects the most common access patterns of the program?
The approach of placing all numbers in a big number vector, all Arrays into a big Array vector, and so on, would be "data-oriented design" if it actually reflects the most common access patterns. So, is it the case that when you read a number you also want all those other numbers that come together with it in the cache line? Is that the case for Arrays? For DataViews? In other words, does this approach to allocating memory reflect the most common data access patterns in JavaScript programs?
I'm not saying it's a bad approach, and I'm not even trying to imply that it's not DOD, I'm genuinely asking.

Edit: maybe a better question is: does it reflect the most common data access patterns of a JavaScript Engine?
It was more of a thought exercise.

But yes, you could sue someone if there is false advertising happening.

If I buy wood from someone saying everything is ethically sourced, and it’s not, that’s more than enough for a lawsuit.

The “damage” I suffered is that now I need to rebuild my house because it doesn’t use the wood I thought I bought. (Obviously no one would do that in practice, but that’s how these lawsuits work)
It is a rational choice tho.

It wouldn't just hurt your partner, it would hurt you.

We know that following a "objective morality" the 10 people would be a better choice but it would hurt (indirectly) you.

Singularity means something very specific, if your AI can build a smarter AI then itself by itself, and that AI can also build a new smarter AI then you have singularity.

You do not have singularity if an LLM can solve more math problems then the average Joe, or if ti can answer more trivia questions then a random person, even if you have an AI better then all humans combined at Tic Tac Toe you still do not have a singularity, IT MUST build a smarter AI then itself and then iterate on that.

Fantastic movie, great political plot, great direction. Part 1 is decent, too.
Likewise, people do business with people, not with companies. Assert that “society” is merely an abstraction invoked for political gain to become an individualist.
The point of the law was not to require everyone to nag you about all the tracking they are doing, but to discourage them from tracking you. Cookie popups are just a collective form of malicious compliance.

Some Americans. The average car in the US is 12 years old. I just checked my local craigslist, most cars of that age are under 10k, and almost none are more than 20k. Since that is average we can assume cars of that age will run (with maintenance) for another decade and so shouldn't be very expensive. Of course at that age almost nothing is electric.

The status quo might be more profitable for hospitals though.

The lack of doctors allows hospitals to charge more money for access to the ones they have. And right now the government foots the bill for training new doctors.

If they funded new residency slots they'd simultaneously increase their expenses, and reduce long-term revenues. Even if the resident's work is profitable by itself - in the sense of generating more in billings than the costs in salary, benefits, and teaching time - it could be bad for the hospital in a decade or two.

If the government simply ended the practice of funding residencies then hospitals and the rest of the medical establishment would be forced to come up with a new approach. Until then they're content to ride the gravy train.
Non-violence as a guiding principle is noble and inspiring, but it doesn’t eliminate the need for robust defensive measures.
Interesting (and very plain, understandable, commonsensical) - but of course some running conflicts are not not strongly related to climate change.

Of course, when Niall Ferguson spoke, it looked at the contingency: he sees a possibility of catastrophic consequences that may come much earlier than the climatic "Armageddon". (Well, in some news peices today they spoke about "before Xmas"... It makes the order of events very definite.)
I actually do think you have a solid point. These models fall short of AGI, but that might be more of a OODA loop agentic tweak than anything else.

At their core, the state of the art LLMs can basically do any small to medium mental task better than I can or get so close to my level than I’ve found myself no longer thinking through things the long way. For example, if I want to run some napkin math on something, like I recently did some solar battery charge time estimates, an LLM can get to a plausible answer in seconds that would have taken me an hour.

So yeah, in many practical ways, LLMs are smarter than most people in most situations. They have not yet far surpassed all humans in all situations, and there are still some classes of reasoning problems that they seem to struggle with, but to a first order approximation, we do seem to be mostly there.
