Isn't it amazing how effective repetitive, rhetorical propaganda can be though? These techniques are hard-coded in literally millions of minds, and once an idea takes root it is very difficult to remove.

One might think skill in logic would prevent such things, but I'd expect most of the HN crowd is well above average in logic, yet few can't avoid having their cognition controlled by these sorts of simple memes.

This only means that there's a pervasive cultural synagogue/cathedral that has infected behavior through pedagogical means. Namely, education itself has been made to serve the interests of all possible economics that can occur within the borders of global liberal democracy.

This also only means that any sociopolitical exit from the zombie invasion must at least be as high as considering a departure from common epistemology.

Because car industry regulations haven't caught up with cars being software on wheels yet. Most regulations in general haven't caught up with software eating the world and the "move fast and break things" mentality. This is not just an arguably bad mentality, but when human lives are at stake, it's a very dangerous one as well.

Besides, companies the size and influence of Tesla can lobby their way out of regulations. With Musk now becoming more politically involved, it's doubtful we'll see any of this change in the next 4 years at least.
I think we often forget that Russian propaganda is also often aimed at Russians and not the west.

Nazis invaded Russia and calling their neighbors Nazis is meant to invoke fear and imminent danger to the Russian people. It’s a completely different vibe than calling right wingers Nazis in the US

I don’t mean this in a bad way, but like, at this point YC’s business model is spray and pray right? They weed out obvious losers, and then use vibes to pick a section of the rest, push them through a standard accelerator program, and demo day at the end, and this works because having been accepted into YC is like being able to say you went to a fancy university: no guarantees on future performance, but you’re probably not an idiot.

They should be (and are — YC Fall Batch!) trying to maximise the number of companies they take on while not diminishing returns below their cost of capital and brand dilution.

I am looking for some examples of creating my own custom client with the Anthropic API leveraging MCP, but I could not find any. Pretty much want to understand how Claude Desktop is integrating with MCP Server along with Anthropic API
Can you provide some pointers about the integration?
e.g.

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

response = client.messages.create(
model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
max_tokens=1024,
[mcp_server]=... ## etc.?

No. The elites in neither side would win in this particular conflict if it becomes much bigger. Because of that, it won't happen.

However, the status quo of a frequent limited conflicts has significant profit potential, so you'll still see these happening.
The risk here is they intentionally make it incompatible with Valkey, similar to how Elasticsearch client libraries complain when a newly added slogan header is missing

C# and F# will be by far the closest. Other options lack sufficiently good type system or tooling to match either of the two.

Compile to static native binary with 'dotnet publish -p:PublishAot=true' (or add this property to .csproj to not specify on each publish). In the case of F#, you will need to use Console.* methods over 'print*' because print has unbound reflection inside for structural output on "%A" format specifier (it will work most of the time but negatively impacts binary size and causes the compiler to complain).

I can especially recommend F# as "easier more business-focused Rust alternative" because it is expression-oriented, has discriminated unions, full HM type inference and gradual typing is a joy to work with. Data analysis and domain modeling are very pleasant to do in it too.

For systems programming C# is going to be the option to use - it will give you great concurrency primitives, fast (sometimes even zero-cost) native interop, smaller than Go native binaries and a lot of low-level APIs including portable SIMD. Go is often poorly suited for these tasks or can't do them at all (at least without workarounds). There are many new high-performance libraries focused on this domain as .NET gains popularity in non-gaming communities in this area. And of course you benefit from a huge existing ecosystem and won't have to do the all the heavy lifting by yourself unlike in niche languages suggested in sibling comments.
Yes, and a lot of banks still use mainframes.

No, not all start as light novels. In many cases the light novels come afterwards as a way to capitalise (eg Demon Slayer, the manga finished a while ago, so while the anime is still running light novels are coming out).

> None of the japanese literature in this article is being adapted into animation

This is wrong btw, I looked up one and "Makato Shinkai’s She and Her Cat" was an anime. This is about animes as well, not just books.
Most C++ developers care greatly about the quality of their code, and suggesting that since the code isn't in a life threatening situation like a flight controller or medical device it can be buggy with no repercussions is pretty silly.

Your examples of GCC and Webkit are both projects that have spent enormous amounts of effort to be as memory safe as they can be, and have both had many memory safety related CVEs in the past. As was already pointed out, you still have to pay the cost of engineering memory safe code, even when your compiler/static analysis doesn't have your back.
Now it's easier to generate static sites that aren't so boring!
> Murakami and Yoshimoto have something else in common: both were criticised in a 1990 essay by Kenzaburō Ōe, the Japanese Nobel prize-winning author. Their works, he said, “convey the experience of a youth politically uninvolved or disaffected, content to exist with an adolescent or post-adolescent subculture”.

I don't know the context of the quote and this wouldn't be the first time the Guardian puts a weird spin on something, but is there a problem with politically uninvolved protagonists?
Sleep training is not about the child, it's about the parent. No child is going to thrive if their parent doesn't. My kid's chance of death reduced significantly after sleep training because I wasn't hallucinating from my own lack of sleep.

Also, a lot of things your kid needs to be functional involve being unpleasant to your kid. Ignoring their bad behaviors so as to not encourage them. Not feeding them exactly what they demand every day.

Parenting is a balance between my needs and the kid's needs. I tell my kid to go away and leave me alone because if she doesn't give me a break from her constant need to be touching me, I will scream and snap at her. I'm not a machine with infinite patience. It's better that she learn to exist separately from me on occasion than have a cranky parent who is snapping at her for reasons she won't be able to understand.

I think everyone does this. We just like to focus only on Chinese companies when they do it, because many times when Chinese companies do it, they do it so well that it is a threat.

It also feeds into their "Ukraine is not really a country" narrative.

Because how do we know it's not really a country? Because it's overrun with zombies (Nazis), of course.
> This article is directly talking about Japanese pure literature,

No it isn't, did you even read it? It mentions animes as well, not all of the works mentioned are books.

Makato Shinkai’s She and Her Cat is an anime, not a book, for example.

Edit: They adapted that anime to a book, but a book adapted from an anime is hardly "pure literature", it is definitely pop literature.

They already had https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Novorossiysk for that.
It isn't, this time.

I've seen plenty of articles, contemptuous tweets, etc. that conflated OTA updates that were classified as 'recalls' by the safety authorities with physical issue recalls.

And I'm annoyed that the article didn't provide the answer itself.

But per https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-cybertruck/recalls/ 5/6 of the recalls for the cybertruck to date have been physical, only the immediately previous one was resolveable by an OTA update.

(I'm in the "I think Elon is a dick but Tesla is pretty cool and SpaceX is awesome" camp personally, so bad criticism of Tesla annoys me not just on a basis of hating bad criticism of things in general but also because I get doubly annoyed when somebody criticises somebody I believe *is* worth of criticism and then manages to do it inaccurately ... you're in a target rich environment! Stop shooting at squirrels instead!)

I guess I am saying that ideas are a dime a dozen. Every idea will likely get executed by multiple teams - it is incredibly rare for an idea to only get explored by a single team. Those teams that succeed did so because of execution.
plagiarism does NOT refer to copying the work of another author, it refers to you submitting work as yours that you didn’t yourself write.

if I copy entire article from the Economist, did I plagiarize!? There is no author attribution so we don’t know the author… Many articles in media today are LLM generated (fully or partially), can I copy those if someone sticks there name as author?!

bottom line is - you didn’t do the work but copied it from elsewhere, you plagiarized it, period
If that were true, there'd be no point in ever applying a second time to YC.

Anecdotally, people do get accepted after 2-4 failures. Maybe YC was on the fence about those founders and their willingness to slam themselves against a wall repeatedly tipped the scales, or maybe they invest in a certain kind of founder and when they run out of those they invest in "promising" ideas.
If you think having a compute unit dedicated to firewalling (virtual or worse, physical) is a good idea, maybe you should too ?
That would make a significant difference for other Teslas but apparently not for the cybertruck: https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-cybertruck/recalls/

Not sure where it would rank at '5 recalls' instead of '6 recalls' but suboptimal nevertheless.

(I think the article noted that because the immediately previous one *was* a software update ... but it appears that's the only one that was)
Also, the article is about animes as well. Makato Shinkai’s She and Her Cat is an anime, not a book, for example. It talks a lot about books, but it isn't only about books. I thought that was obvious.

> No, not all start as light novels

Many are though, many of the animes that came out for a few years I had already read the LN for. That so many novels becomes animes is likely a big reason why there are so many novels being written along those styles.
there are some interesting points here but a lot of it is just acknowledging lack of quality and willpower.

Your argument would have more weight if the inflation predictions were accurate. Here's the prediction report for the BoE in Aug 2014: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/inflation-...

(It's worth noting that even with the assumption of the models used being useful, the spread on those inflation rates is wild).

Here's what actually happened:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/time...

It very rapidly hit the bottom end of the prediction range before jumping up again pretty high. All that time interest rates were held constant and low.

Given they claim feedback lags of two years or so, one wonders what the point of all this is... (one cannot run a control loop with control lags substantially longer than the time constant of the system; that's basically the recipe for an unstable control system, assuming of course the control system is doing anything).

There's an argument that it's inflation expectations that matter, but there are dissenters within the temple that disagree: https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/feds/files/2021062pap...
YC's roots are definitely the software hacker/painter/kill FAANG from a coffee shop type founders, although they've shown that deep tech teams can make interesting progress without years of R&D.

Laser safety ratings are based on what would happen if the laser was pointed directly at your eye continuously. In the case of general traffic each lidar is scanning in different direction and while manufacturers try to make the energy produced by their lasers instantaneously brighter than the sun in one specific wavelength but damage to your retina is caused by excessive heating and doesn't care about what wavelength the energy is coming in at in the IR except to the extend that it can get to the retina or not. In your morning commute I'd worry less about the lidars than the much larger amount of invisible IR radiation given off by the sun. And I'd worry much less about the sun's IR radiation than the sun's UV radiation, wearing sunglasses during a 2 hour commute is best for your eyes.

> Most automotive Lidar already operate in a “photon starved regime”, ~200-300 photons per return[0]. If you spread that over the entire scene, your snr drops quickly.

Translating: Normally you have a large single sensor per laser, which makes measurements at a very high rate. With flash lidar, you split the sensor up like an image sensor. In a normal image sensor, each pixel can collect light for a long time, but if you do that with lidar you have no distance resolution. The sensor is sitting idle 99% of the time, and you pay in sensitivity and accuracy.

Array sensors, MEMs, and phased arrays all struggle because they're all really good at small-angle differences, while the reason for scanning lidar is large-angle differences. Maybe one day we'll start making curved dies and it'll be easier to have a really wide FOV without needing multiple sensors.

1) The "real" WTF-8 charset [0] is a cool and useful encoding.

2) This may be an unpopular opinion but I think restricting name input to latin is an OK thing to do, especially if the entered names are being viewed/used by humans who cannot be expected to be know all scripts.

3) Similarly, internationalized domain names were a mistake. If your business card tells me to go to stępień.com then chances are I won't bother to try end remember how to enter those accents on my keyboard layout. Most users won't even be able to enter them. Worse are letters that are visually indistinguishible - and no, registries preventing confusable names is not enough when I still won't know which letter to enter. This makes IDN domains less useful while retaining all the security issues they bring.

Most languages were already forced to deal with ASCII and have developed standardized ways to "romanize" names and other words to that character set. This solution achieves peak interopability - not only between computer systems but also between the fleshy components operating them.

> Subligual methylcobalamin works just as well as the shots

It does not. The cobalamin molecules are quite large and don’t penetrate the sublingual mucosa very well. On top of that, the proteins in saliva that bind to B12s will cause any bound B12 to not absorb sublingually, instead having to wait to make it through the digestive system for intestinal uptake.

Sublingual is still certainly a better option than oral pills, but the injections are preferable in severe cases for a reason.
Apache Flink has deprecated support for Scala.

An aggregation engine like that was otherwise a good fit for a functional-ish language like Scala.

Agreed. As much as I want it to be simpler to build C++ programs from source, it's pretty much always _possible_ in my experience, it can just a PITA frequently.

I think that tests are a sure-fire way to improve the quality of your code, but I'd throw another piece in to the ring: sanitizers [0]. Projects that have good tests and run them regularly with TSan/ASan/UBSan in my experience are much better to work on because it means that it's much less likely there's deep seeded issues that are lurking. It gives you increased confidence that you're not introducing hard-to-detect issues as you go.

These tools aren't just exclusive to C++. I've said the same thing about C, Go, Zig, Odin, etc. Projects that use them (and have good automated tests) tend to be in good shape, and projects that don't tend to take a long time to make any progress on.

Some time ago somebody pointed out to me how the superhero genre really took off after 9/11 and I can't stop thinking about that because I think it says a lot about how people think, what they want and also how consent is manufactured.

9/11 pierced America's sense of safety. Perhaps Pearl Harbor was similar. Historically the Gauls sacking Rome in the 4th Century BCE was probably similar. So people were attracted to media where somebody would save them, protect them.

At a higher level, the superhero genre feeds into pushing an idealism narrative. Idealism here simply means some people are the good guys and other people are the bad guys. Inherently. Compare this to materialism, which is a philosophy that there is a feedback loop between a person and their environment, of each affecting the other. There is no good or evil. People simply respond to their circumstances. A Song of Ice and Fire (the books more than the TV show, particularly the later seasons) is a superb example of materialism in fiction.

So what does the rising popularity of Japanese literature (note: the article is about that and not about anime as I think some who simply read the headline assume) say about society?

I think we have a crisis of despair in society. The cost of living, particularly housing, is out of control. You have a generation who thinks they'll never own a home or ever be able to retire. They don't feel like they have the security to have children. Is it any wonder that escapism thrives when the real world seems so bleak?

I see this as yet another symptom of the crisis in capitalism. Sure there's a fascination with Japanese culture. This isn't new. But why? We're also seeing more Chinese fiction (eg Three Body Problem). It's hard for me not to see this trend as anything other than a failure in our society to provide hope to people whose dreams are very mundane.
We're just pentesting the headline
