I feel like “all the code” and “only the changes” needs to be an actual per chat option. Sometimes you want the changes sometimes you want all the code and it is annoying because it always seems to decide it’s gonna do the opposite of what you wanted… meaning another correction and thus wasted tokens and context. And even worse it pollutes your scroll back with noise.
I'm curious how you mean? I'm mainly on PopOs nowadays, and it seems largely fine? What are the main annoyances?

In the past, I've met people who are driven by results but don't always consider the feelings of others. They expect tasks to be completed without thinking about how the process affects those involved. I believe this mindset has contributed to Musk's success; he expects both himself and those around him to fulfill their assigned roles. If someone doesn't thrive in that competitive environment, they'll likely leave. Musk seems to attract individuals who are ready for this level of intensity. After all, he doesn't do all the work himself; thousands of people working under him carry out the tasks. He's simply an effective leader. Many may dislike his style, but evidently, those who work for him do not.

Additionally, his control over social media has significantly contributed to his ability to attract substantial capital. With this capital, he can pursue various initiatives. He has a knack for crafting a compelling story that encourages people to invest in his company in both time and money.

But they didn't do this at all. They picked the most human-like AI images (usually high quality), and the most AI-like human images (usually mid).

The anime pictures are particularly poor and look much worse than commercial standard work (e.g. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwWPeNhXoAQZGW8?format=jpg&name=...) -- but of course those would be too easy to classify, wouldn't they? I wouldn't fault anyone for thinking the provided examples are AI.
The one big downside I see is that if you want to actually work on the library itself, it's a pain to have to re-compile the entire thing every time you change something.

Nuklear (https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear) uses separate files with a deploy script that combines them all into a single header; I think that approach is quicker for iterating on the code.
In my experience with web browsers, you can't do this because Javascript can NEVER block. For example, if a function takes too long to run, it blocks rendering of the page. If there were ways to make Javascript asynchronously, browsers would have implemented it already, so I assume they can't do it without potential backward incompatibility.

One exception is alert(), which blocks and shows a dialog. But I don't think I've ever seen a website use it instead of showing a "normal" popup with CSS. It looks ugly so it's only used to debug that code actually runs.

I'm not knowledgeable about low-level interruptions, but I think you would need at least some runtime code to implement blocking the thread. In any case, even if the language provides this, you can't use it because the main thread is normally a GUI thread that can't respond to user interaction if it's blocked by another thread. That's the main point of using (background) threads in the first place: so the main thread never blocks from IO bottlenecks.
Outside of playing a game for piece value? No, not really.

In this case, of course, someone moved their bishop from black to white and their opponent didn't catch it until awhile later.
Yeah pretty much. That’s why the dams were breached.
That's the same principle used by cheap solder stations to regulate the tip temperature without employing a thermal sensor: they measure the heater resistance, presumably during the off state of the PWM signal that drives the heater. In that case the measurement is less accurate than using a real sensor, still good enough for cheap solder stations where a few degrees don't make a big difference.
Using crab rave for demo is top notch.
I know of someone that did this for a bespoke form definition language to drive onboarding. Tens of thousands of lines, months of delays, and a bus factor of 1 later it was all eventually ripped out and replaced with plain old page templates.

The text to "If Architects had to work like Programmers" has been around for 20-30 years.

>Nobody has found a contradiction in (first or second order) ZFC in over a hundred years.

Yes, which is exactly why we have guardrails like ZFC in place. We got all sorts of exciting results without them. We of course have to keep adding axioms to ZFC - or replacing them all together - because there is a lot of math out there which is outside it's purview.

>You're out of your depth.

You're being incredibly abrasive for no reason.
Sure, but the library is also relatively small, so it compiles quickly.
Although if you want to you can compile it on its own.

It's also possible to compile it on its own using `gcc -c -x c -D RGFW_IMPLEMENTATION RGFW.h`

Nuklear is not a true single-header style library, it only uses that as a format. The difference is that the design is far less compact and lightweight than a stb-style library.

I'm pretty sure GLFW has some files that are nearly the same size as RGFW, for example.

AIMagicStudio – Turn Keywords or URLs into Videos in Minutes
Hi HN,

Over the past year, I've been building AIMagicStudio, a tool designed to simplify video creation and save countless hours for creators, marketers, and entrepreneurs. It's a side project that grew from my frustration with creating professional videos, which is a complex and time-consuming process.

Today, I'm conducting a soft launch to gather feedback and start a discussion about the challenges of video creation and automation.

How AIMagicStudio Works:
1. Provide a keyword, URL, or Amazon product link, and AIMagicStudio generates a full video for you. This includes scripts, voiceovers, AI images, and captions.

2. Choose from over 15 subtitle styles and 10+ layouts to match your branding.

3. Add personalized AI-generated images for consistent visual storytelling.

4. Schedule videos to be created automatically based on a list of keywords or URLs.

5. Automate uploading to platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok with optimized tags and descriptions.

Perfect for creators who want to remain behind the scenes while producing engaging content.

Why AIMagicStudio?
I built AIMagicStudio to address the struggles many face with video marketing: the technical barriers, the time sink, and the cost of hiring professionals. Whether you're creating Amazon product reviews, instructional videos, or short-form content, AIMagicStudio automates the most tedious parts so you can focus on growing your audience or business.

Exclusive for HackerNews:
To celebrate the launch and gather early feedback, I’m offering a 7-day free trial of the Premium Plan, no credit card required.

Get your 7-day Premium Plan free trial: https://app.aimagicstudio.com/buy?package=Premium%20Plan

What’s Next?
I’m looking for your thoughts on:

- The usability of the platform.
- Features you'd love to see.
- Ideas to make this more valuable for creators like yourself.

This is still a soft launch, so I'm prioritizing feedback and improving the experience. Feel free to poke around and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to your feedback and insights, HN!

Cheers,
AI Snake Oil [video]
Except they were in a very similar situation not too long ago of course, in a country called Afghanistan.

In which their leadership ultimately chose to do the only right and pragmatic thing. Rather than bleed the country's resources out indefinitely over a conflict which (all their bluster at the time notwithstanding) it knew perfectly well to be in no way existential, and, exactly like the current conflict -- entirely symbolic.
Just because someone is not Russian doesn’t mean they can’t read Russian.
Sorry, I kind of spaced on reading the article, but from BEAM land, everything is built around concurrent processes with asynchronous messaging.

You can send a message to something else and wait for the response immediately if you want to write in a more blocking style. And you can write a function that does bot the sending a message and the waiting, so you don't really need to think about it if you don't want to. All I/O pretty much feels the same way, although you get into back pressure with some I/O where if there's a queue you can opt to fail immediately or block your process until the send fits in the queue.

The underlying reality is that your processes don't actually block, BEAM processes are essentialy green threads that are executed by a scheduler (which is an OS thread), so blocking things become yields, and the VM also checks if it should yield at every function call. BEAM is built around functional languages, so it lacks loops and looping is handled by recursive function calls, so a process must make a function call in a finite amount of code, and so BEAM's green threading is effectively pre-emptive.

The end result of all this is you can spawn as many processes as you like (i've operated systems with one process per client connection, and millions of client connections per node). And you can write most of your code like normal imperitive blocking code. Sometimes you do want to separate out sending messages and receiving responses, and you can easily do that too. This is way nicer than languages with async/await, IMHO; there's no trickyness where calling a blocking function from a async context breaks scheduling, and calling an async function from a non-async context may not be possible... You do still have the possibility of a function blocking when you didn't expect it to, but it will only block the process that called it and transitively, those processes that are waiting for messages from the now blocked process.

Java's Project Loom seems like it will get to a pretty similar place, eventually. But I've seen articles about some hurdles on the way; there's some things that still actually block a thread rather than being (magically) changed to yielding.

Again, IMHO, people didn't build async/await because it is good. They built it because threads were unavailable (Javascript) or to work around the inability to run as many threads as would make the code simple. If you could spawn a million OS threads without worrying about resource use, only constrained languages would have async/await. But OS threads are too heavy to spawn so many, and too heavy to regularly spawn and let die for ephemeral tasks.
You asked:

> Do we have many examples of cases where countries have held US soldiers or commanders of allied nations captive without repercussion?

And clear answer to that such a year yes, with dozens of examples off the top of my head that I was unsure in what context you might assume it was true.

> UK and France are quite weak indeed

Not in comparison to NK and especially not historic NK they aren’t. Have you ever actually studied foreign events, history, or looked into foreign militaries etc? You have such a distorted viewpoint I just find it baffling. In terms of traditional military NK has 1/3 the UK’s population, vastly worse industry, outdated equipment, minimal ability to move beyond their borders, etc. In a head to head fight they would lose badly.

In my experience, people often conflate forgiveness, reconciliation, and redemption. They are distinct things. People also often do not understand the role repentance plays (evangelical Christians are _especially_ prone to miss it entirely).

We can forgive someone for horrific things they've done, even when they are utterly unrepentant. Forgiving them is changing our attitude about the harms the offender did from anger and hatred to acceptance and peace. This does not mean saying "what they did was okay," but rather accepting that they chose to do something horrible, learning to make peace with their hurtful choices, and focusing on healing the damage to ourselves and others rather than seeking to injure the injurer.

Reconciliation is mending a damaged relationship between two (or more) people, as much as it can be. Unlike forgiveness, true reconciliation requires that all parties make an effort - the injured party must put in the work of forgiving the offender, and the offender must do the work of repenting.

"Repent" now means "make a show of acting sorry" in evangelical Christian circles, but genuine repentance is very different. It is recognizing the harmful choices you have made and truly regretting them, and as a natural outgrowth of that regret, choosing to do what you can to heal the damage you have done. It means accepting the consequences of your choices; a repentant offender expects to be distrusted and treated differently for their crimes, and does not resent it, realizing the shattered relationships (emotional, familial, civil, and otherwise) are part of what they chose. Without repentance, others may forgive an offender, but reconciliation is not possible - if the injured continue a relationship with the aggressor, it is necessarily a stilted, broken, fragmented one.

Redemption is rarer and harder to achieve than either forgiveness or reconciliation. It is when reconciliation succeeds and goes beyond success, giving birth to something fuller and more beautiful than what was first broken. Adapting the words of my lost-yet-beloved faith, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. Behold, He is making all things new."

This is not, in my experience, how conservative Protestant evangelicals use these words. However, in the decades I practiced Christianity, I slowly found these ideas in the Bible, despite the ludicrously-wrong exegesis practiced in US churches, by reading the texts many, many times. I find a great deal of truth and wisdom in them, considered this way. I hope perhaps my explanation can help you understand why so many people resonate with the message recorded in the Gospels, and the one that Dostoevsky so loved.

> Rendering is _hard_, and Rust is an uncommon toolchain in the gamedev industry. I don't think wgpu has much to do with it. Vulkan via ash and DirectX12 via windows-rs are both great options in Rust.

Yes. I think I'm beginning to see what's gone wrong with the Rust crates. It's an architectural problem.
Vulcano and WGPU try to create a Rust safety perimeter at an API that's basically a wrapper around Vulkan. This may be the wrong boundary for that safety perimeter.

Moving buffer allocation inside the safety perimeter may eliminate a level of locking and checking. Bindless really brings this out, because somebody has to keep the descriptor table and buffer allocation in sync. The GPU depends on that. So that has safety implications.

If this problem is partitioned differently, the locking problems for concurrent GPU content updating may become simpler. Right now, both Vulcano and WGPU force more serialization than Vulkan itself requires. The rendering thread is too often stalled on a lock waiting for some content updating operation that should not interfere with rendering.

Too much detail for this forum. I'll continue this elsewhere. This has been useful.

This assumes they have no constraint when it comes to supply, and therefore no opportunity cost.
Which is really ironic because when you are fighting a foreign aggressor (which was basically what American patriots were doing), what you really don't want is everyone running around on their own with their own guns. You need trained soldiers who can take commands and hold a line. Once you have them, for all your purpose, you can just keep all your guns in a locked armory, and it takes half a day to summon your soldiers and distribute weapons should the need arise.

And if you don't have the training, the best automatic rifles on the world won't help you. If your fighters can't even run to the nearest police station without hopping on a car, forget about it. You think you'll take the interstate to the battlefield when tyranny descends and black helicopters are flying around?

The problem I see with this prompting is he is going to great lengths instructing the LLM that he is a grandmaster and makes great moves etc. but nowhere in the prompt does he instruct the LLM to attempt to win the game of chess.

It may just be coming up with "good moves" that a "grandmaster" would make, but after all, grandmasters still lose 49% of their games, all the while making "good moves"

I would suppose that the LLM is actually wholly uninterested in victory given this prompting.
Aren’t prompts seeking to offload reasoning though? Is that really a fair data point for this?

For nostalgia I keep a copy of Mathematica on my laptop, so I can pretend to be an an actual computer scientist and not just an overpaid button-presser.

Ten years ago I used it to fit a nonlinear model to some performance metrics to predict the behaviour of a disk array past the maximum load level I was allowed to use for testing.

That’s the last time I did something that Excel couldn’t handle.

I agree that Google has a lot of inertia in both search and search advertising. That still doesn’t answer why there aren’t more well-capitalized companies trying to win the search market. I suspect (but am not sure that) the answer is the market is more visible than it is worthwhile (somewhat akin to media and entertainment businesses).

I just don't agree. `async def` gets the fact that we've departed Kansas, good Toto, right out front.

Async moves the coder a step in the direction of the operating system itself. The juice is not worth the squeeze unless the project bears fruit.

I hardly do enough networky stuff to make this facility useful to me, but I'm grateful to the hours poured into making it part of Python.

Contra the author of The Famous Article, threads seem gnarlier still, and I would likely architect out any async parts of a system into another service and talk to it over a port.
I'm criticizing "content" on the grounds of its vagueness and what this vagueness represents:

the homogenization of what used to be referred to as distinct cultural practices and social behaviors, and how they are now being packaged under a single commodity: "content", and how this influences the institutions that traditionally support a culture and its society.

So I reckon that's my definition of "content".

The most basic actions that people used to perform as a part of their daily life are being packaged and experienced alongside obvious commodities and their effects (film, advertisements, etc.)

Everything is being shoved onto online platforms and made to appeal to the standards that suit those platforms and the character and personalities of the people who participate in the "content" economy are stripped of their individuality.

And all of this occurs downstream of whatever the outcome of the Trump/Musk tryst is.

Thank you for you're time. It's been a pleasure.

Based entirely on observations from public sources, I think Elon is first and foremost a superb salesman. Beginning with his move from South Africa, to Canada and thence USA is the beginning of his process of incrementally hustling to the next best thing. It is how he parlays his wins from one investment into the next.

Far less attention is given to the fact that he must be hiring lots of extremely talented people and motivating them to deliver above average outcomes. As a stereotypical manager of managers he bestows upon himself all the credit in public. Thus further enhancing his reputation.

His private life is further proof of his complete disregard for norms and conventions. Elon shows a cavalier disregard of public institutions, e.g. SEC, yet manages to avail his companies to billions in government subsidies.
