Not a scala person, but I like the idea of being able to shift between unit/measurement systems. Lots of strange little edge cases. Eg, how does rounding work in imperial, can I get 3.1415926535 meters to the closest 1/64th of an inch?
There was already a case (many years ago), where something was wrong with an update. All inverters from a country did not start anymore. (You have to set the country or grid code in each inverter, so they know the grid limits).
That's a very good point, and I don't like it.
This is a very cynical take.

I picked NuScale because it's a PWR SMR, and is the only SMR design that was approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. HTR-PM is an SMR, and comparing it with a full scale PWR reactor is not entirely fair, because reactors benefit from the square-cube law: the larger a reactor is the more efficient its neutron economy is, so you can extract more power per unit of volume.

As for NuScale being a scam, it would be probably the most elaborate scam in the history of financial scams. They were founded in 2007 and went public in 2022. People don't spend 15 years to run a scam, especially if this involves not one by two government agencies (the NRC and the SEC). There's a huge probability that such a scam would not work in the end, with an additional likelihood that you get relocated to a correctional facility (see Elizabeth Holmes).
My bet would be to write a small program using your target language. With ChatGPT this is extremely easy as you will get a list of recommended libraries to use. Try to choose an app that requires some serious coding e.g. creating an image board like 4chan is better than coding a tic-tac-toe.

My recommendation is that the learning app should:

- Interact with an SQL database

- Expose an HTTP endpoint (REST or GraphQL)

- Use a logging framework

- Use concurrency

- Use a unit testing framework and a few integration tests

- Build should be automated using GitHub actions

In my opinion that's the fastest way to learn a language or more broadly a platform (as every language now is a kind of platform with its own set of libraries, conventions, idioms and untold rules).

PS. My list is probably not good for a system language like Rust or C++, but should work for languages from Ruby & Python, though Java & C#, up to Go and Erlang.
Probably, it's just someone made a pretty good Electron binding for Common Lisp (https://github.com/cermaic/ceramic), so I used it instead of inventing my own wheel.
That depends how you define restrictive. Last I checked (which was admittedly five or six years ago) many of the countries had non restrictive laws on silencers and rifle lengths and most, if not all, allowed you to own pistols (although it is quite difficult to get a licence in some). To me that would make Canada's gun laws much more restrictive. One could argue that in some European countries it is much harder to get a license and that makes it more restrictive but I would disagree with that because there is still a pathway to own and use many guns not legal in Canada in those countries (at least as of five or six years ago when I last looked).
Good point, but my team is small and has only top engineers with both soft and hard skills. Many times you can do much more with team of 3 than team of 10 ppl.
>Not explicitly training their models, I was wrong there

Nothing in the paragraph above rules this out. "techniques such as machine learning" could easily include AI in the "such as".
llama.cpp is open source!
And the problem with that is? Honestly, the more experienced a developer is, the more their code naturally seems to look like what Go shepherds you towards.

It's not a perfect language, but it's a pretty good language for building shit and shipping stuff.
AI is absolutely a further wealth concentrator by its very nature. It will not liberate the bottom 3/4, it will not free up their time by allowing them to work a lot less (as so many incorrectly predict now). Eric Schmidt for example has some particularly incorrect claims out there right now about how AI will widely liberate people from having to work so many hours, it will prove laughable in hindsight. Those that wield high-end AI, and the extreme cost of operations that will go with it, will reap extraordinary wealth over the coming century. Elon Musk style wealth. Very few will have access to the resources necessary to operate the best AI (the cost will continue to climb over what companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, OpenAI, etc are already spending).

Sure, various AI assistants will make more aspects of your life automated. In that sense it'll buy people more time in their private lives. It won't get most people a meaningful increase in wealth, which is the ultimate liberator of time. That is, financial independence.

And you can already see the ratio of people that are highly engaged with utilizing the latest LLMs, paying for them, versus either rarely or never using them (either not caring/interested in utilizing, or not understanding how to do so effectively). It's heavily bifurcated between the elites and everybody else, just as most tech advances have been so far. A decade ago a typical lower / lower middle class person could have gone to the library and learned JavaScript and over the course of years could have dramatically increased their earning potential (a process that takes time to be clear); for the same reason that rarely happens by volition, they also will not utilize LLMs to advance their lives despite the wide availability of them. AI will end up doing trivial automation tasks for the bottom 50%. For the top ~1/4 it will produce enormous further wealth from equity holdings and business process productivity gains (boosting wealth from business ownership, which the bottom 50% lacks universally).
Isaac Morgan is an unsung hero from those ages, man I miss working for that man
When I was younger I loved having an 84 Chevy Scottsdale. It was a cool looking truck and was easy to work on. I used to love getting under the hood to chase down problems and find solutions.

Now my knees hurt when it's cold outside, so crawling around on the ground to fix the fucking u-joint AGAIN isn't that fun, and I also like knowing that my children might survive if we get in a crash; something that's genuinely up for question in old vehicles.

I would pay a premium for a new car without an "infotainment" system, cameras (except backup camera), gps, or any form of touchscreen.
I have a '98 Honda with 324K miles on it. I'm awful at maintenance but I've had it for ten years and it refuses to die.
I don’t think any serious biologists agree with it. There is a hard physiological need to repair cellular damage from metabolism, UV (this a big deal in unicellular species), etc. If this theory was correct, and it is possible to do it entirely while awake, there would be species (apex predators in particular) that would have evolved without the need for it, like everything that is not a hard requirement. But this is not the case.
So only high level non-safety-critical code, I see.

I hope someone properly checked that no safety properties depend on Go there. I bet nobody actually did so...
It is a mixed blessing, the ever-upward bass of complexity.

Most people are probably glad that their computers have guis and they can install applications with just a few clicks. The price of those features is complexity.

Ultimately, we're all like the Amish: we make decisions about our preferred level of technology. I won't have a smart TV in my house, but I'm happy to have UEFI systems.
JS has excellent tooling for standardizing code style, Prettier for opinionated formatting and ESLint for everything else. If some teams decide to not use these tools, that’s their mistake.
> during sleep you are more vulnerable to predators

Marine mammals sleep unihemispherally [1]. Land mammals can burrow, et cetera, which explains why predation and injury risk decrease during sleep. (Counterfactual: "large animals that are not at risk for predation, such as big cats and bears, can sleep for long periods, often in unprotected sites and appear to sleep deeply" (Id.).

Do you know any tutorial that could help me set something like this up?
Hi HN,

I’m excited to share a prototype I’ve been working on: 3Dify, a tool that lets you easily customize 3D icons and graphics. You can adjust angles, tweak colors, and export high-quality PNGs without needing advanced 3D design skills.

The goal is to make 3D customization accessible for designers, developers, and anyone who wants to add personalized visuals to their projects.

Right now, I’ve built the core features and a simple landing page. I’d love to get your feedback on usability, features, and anything else you think could improve the product.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, suggestions, and any bugs you might find. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

> When I was younger, I was fascinated by various optimized sleep schedules.

I was also fascinated with alternate sleep schedules when I was younger. Some of the books and biohackers of the time made them sound like magical ways to get more hours out of the day.

Then every single experience report I found that was not coming from someone trying to sell me a book or get me to subscribe to their newsletter, YouTube, or other social media was extremely negative. Nobody who tried these had continued them very long. After going back to regular sleep schedules they felt significantly better. A common report was that they didn’t realize how badly sleep deprived they were until they stopped the alternate sleep schedule and went back to normal sleep.

A lot of the sleep biohacking reports follow a similar trend: People who try alternate methods of minimizing sleep don’t realize the negative effects until they quit. This is also true for people who rely on stimulants (caffeine or stronger) which mask feelings of sleep deprivation but can’t actually reverse the negative effects of sleep deprivation.
> This is about robotaxis like Waymo not FSD

What "this" are you referring to? Tesla doesn't have a robotaxi. It does have FSD, which makes it a reasonable comparison for (a) existing and (b) sharing FSD's camera-only dogma.
> I've built plenty of interactive apps with JavaScript without using frameworks

And once you reach sufficient project complexity, you will end up with just another homegrown framework, with all the lessons learned by mature frameworks, left to be fixed over the next 5 years.

This is exactly how Toyota's AWD works in the Sienna these days.

It gets 35mpg city and highway, 1mpg less than the front wheel drive Sienna (which, to be fair, is also a hybrid)
It's not recent. We've had memes for years about React devs using divs with click events instead of using links.
I had that in my notes but forgot. Will add it!
Yeah, this is is true. I've been taking for 3 months now --best consistent sleep of my life, but definitely occasionally the most terrifying sleep paralysis I've ever experienced, or even heard of.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but ~1-2 nights of absolute terror per week is totally worth it compared to how it used to be (getting maybe ~1 good night of sleep every couple weeks.)
had the same thing coincide with covid, but much harder to fall asleep once disrupted. Melatonin only seems to last for an hour or so, so I would take one to go back to sleep after a disruption
Great-looking website and app. How did you decide on what becomes an IAP and what is core functionality? Why did you disable family-sharing of IAPs (or is that just an Apple quirk on iOS)?

As a consumer and homeowner I try my hardest to buy "smart" things that only have local control, especially for important systems like power and HVAC. Our standby generator has a manufacturer supplied wifi pod that I never set up. Instead I use an RS485-to-USB dongle and monitor it myself with open source software. Our HVAC is the same to the greatest extent possible. When shopping for a new robot vacuum Valetudo[1] compatibility is an overriding concern.

If/when we have solar installed it will not be connected to the manufacturer or distributor's cloud systems.

I'm not sure any company does that though. They're operating on pretty slim margins from what I understand, unless I'm wrong.

Adding completely unused features just for fun isn't really a common business practice?
Oh yeah? And when will that happen? Because people have been throwing this argument at me since at least 2014. I still haven't slipped on a banana peel and accidentally fallen on a homegrown framework. You don't just create a framework by accident.
Toxic is a strong word. It’s useless, but not toxic, some people might think they’re making the reviewee’s work easier by flagging all the occurrences of an issue. Maybe they like that on their own PR. Maybe they never thought about it and think thoroughness is expected. If someone’s code review practice is bothering you, just mention it instead of labeling it as toxic.
Cub, thrust and many other libraries that make those kernels possible don't need to be rewritten.

When you write a merge sort in CUDA, you can keep it across all versions. Maybe the new instructions can improve a few corner cases, but it's not like AVX to AVX512 where you need to rewrite everything.

Our setup looks exactly like yours I think. One connection for humans, one for machines. The two shall never meet.

It takes a little bit of setup, and less than $200. Anyone techy should do this; it's essentially maintenance free once running.

The more important difference is that Waymo's FSD system is SAE level 4. The Tesla FSD system that is in their cars that people can currently buy is level 2.

The difference is that the former only needs human help in rare circumstances. The latter needs human help in common circumstances.

If you base you robot taxi on a level 4 system you just need humans on standby to respond when the car knows it needs help and asks for it. If you base it on a level 2 system you need humans monitoring during routine trips to be ready to intervene when the car is about to do something stupid and has no idea that it is out of its league.
Thanks for elaborating. Still, even that strikes me as a narrow recollection.

Early Id games had only the smallest modding capacity built-in (loading mostly), with the community stepping up with original tooling. There were also fewer games to play, which concentrated community efforts. Games were simpler too, which also made modding easier.

It was also daunting to make ones own game from scratch. Around 2000 friends and I failed repeatedly going down that path. (While the mods we made were mostly released.) Today it's so much easier to make games and even mod those based on common engines.

Dedicated servers are a loss yet they often had rampant cheating. They were also painful to setup and maintain compared to private party systems from the game creators. Hopefully with some tweaks to the law, they can be incentivized to open source their servers or at least keep them alive.
This is because people with the complaint about text tend to open the software, see how bad moving text is, then close it and never open it again.

more likely they just didn't feel as strongly about it as you do. difficult to move text is an inconvenience. and just to be clear, i have experienced the problem myself and got annoyed by it, but never annoyed enough that i would report an issue or look for alternative software. but lack of CMYK support or non-destructive editing are showstoppers that can't be worked around.

> mRNA vaccines are a medical miracle that have been in the works for decades

Yes. The next time something like COVID happens we will have the capacity to mass-vaccinate people on a time-frame equivalent to April 2020 for COVID-19.

Whether we will is not clear, but they are this incredible.
To me, it’s always been strange that we speak of “node editors” as the concept here, when the defining abstraction is the data structure of a node graph representing a dataflow.

Specifically:

• with the graph having an associated schema that defines node types;

• where each node type has fields, properties, and connectors;

• where fields are (potentially runtime data-bound) inputs, with types that define their data type, bounds, quantization, etc. and thus equate to a single optimal choice of input control;

• where properties are like fields, but always runtime data-bound, and read-only;

• where connectors are the actual graph vertices; are owned by specific nodes; are directional (in/out/inout); pair with other connectors on other node types, with connections permitted through each connector specifying an interface type that matching connectors must implement;

• where node-level connectors have a “purpose” (registered UUID) that may define how they are rendered at the UX level (e.g. “input” purpose = top or left sticky-outy knob; “plugin inout” = black internal rectangle; etc)

• where all fields have implicit inout connectors to control and/or sample their value; and where all properties have implicit out connectors to sample their value.

(Also, optionally: with sets of nodes able to be encapsulated into groups, with connectors of nodes exposed as connectors of the group, and connectors outside the group able to connect only to the group’s exposed connectors.)

A nodal dataflow graph document, then, would consist of 1. a schema (embedded or referenced); 2. a set of nodes, with groups; 3. the initial values for all fields without schema-specified default values; and 4. the connection edges between connectors.

Note how none of that defines what a program should actually do with a given nodal dataflow graph document, even when it has a well-defined schema.

This is on purpose; to me, a “nodal dataflow graph document” should be a thing like an XML document — able to be processed by domain-specific tools, but also by general-purpose tools. A nodal-dataflow-graph editor, could potentially be such a general-purpose tool.

(When using general-purpose tooling, you’d lose any rendering for domain-specific types in fields/properties, and you wouldn’t be able to “run” the graph… unless these documents could point to logic allowing a generic editor to understand domain types — like HTML5 does with JavaScript-based Custom Element definitions.)
I’m not sure if I’m understanding you correctly, but how on earth would a pull request even make it to the review state if it fails to lint in the pipeline?

I sort of agree with GP in that the discussions are a waste of time. I also agree with you that you should simply automate it through tools. Styling doesn’t have to be a democracy or about personal preference, all styles work, it’s all about picking one and then forcing everyone to use it. Of course you do it in a much more involving process than what I make it sound like here, but ultimately someone with decision making powers is going to have to lock down the process so no further time is wasted on it.
To apply to the fund, the `funding.json` has to be publicly available in GitHub source code or on a project website. At the same time, the file should contain such information as email and account details. IMHO, it's not a good idea to make it publicly available at least before approval.

What was the influence of the manhattan project on bell labs?
Isn’t that a given in 2024? I find it amazing that it still seems to be an issue in some places. Using a linter/formatter is a no-brainer at this point, and it’s been for years.
That is not a place one visits on a whim, wow!
The same argument can be made about Borg. Someone at Google needs to know about things like Juniper switches and hard drive bays. Someone needs to repair or replace defective compute nodes and power switches. Before they had software load balancing, someone had to manage the hardware load balancers.

But the idea of Borg is that all of that's abstracted away for the typical developer. It's the same with k8s. The infrastructure team in your org needs to understand the implementation details, but really only a few.

You can also configure load balancers, IAM groups & policy etc as k8s CRDs. So all that stuff can be in one place in the code base alongside the rest of your infrastructure. So in that sense it does abstract those concepts. You still need to know something about them, but you don't have to configure them programmatically yourself since k8s will do that.
This is one of the reason I created vince.

For reference, the demo is hosted on a 6$ vultr instance, the last 3 days it handled about 11.9K pageviws with 4.3K unique visitors.

I have just checked the vultr dashboard.

Bandwidth = 3.37 GB ,vCPU usage = 1% (yep one percent) , Current charges = 1.06$.

Majority of the bandwidth is for outgoing data serving the dashboard.

I carefully designed vince to be extremely efficient for web analytics workloads.

Please give vince a try.

Yes, i find myself really uncomfortable with the idea of having my "real" self online.

And it's not because i want to do something illegal or anything, and to be honest i can't point to the exact reason but i think it has something to do with the idea of people being able to extract a large portion of your life just from your internet information.
Science confirming "common knowledge" is still important not only to cement the common knowledge with supporting data but also to open avenues to find mechanisms, which also leads to your question:

> A better analysis would be 'which people do not benefit for anxiolytic effects doing sport'. That's unknown, do these people even exist?

If there was no scientific validation of the benefits this question wouldn't be able to be researched.
Oh all of this was being done in the 1980s by Lisp* programmers.

I'm not calling it new. I'm just saying that the intrinsics style is much much harder than what Lisp*, DirectX HLSL, CUDA, OpenCL (etc. etc) does.

A specialized SIMD language makes writing SIMD easier compared to intrinsic style. Look at any CUDA code today and compare it to the AVX that is in the above article and it becomes readily apparent.
