> in most cases a sufficiently long function will have opportunities for pulling out functions with sensible signatures that make sense outside that context.

And will make understanding the function a lot more difficult.

If you want an example of this, look at any C++ code that uses DX12 or Vulkan. It will be atomized sufficiently that you'll have to hunt through dozens of files to figure out which constructor/destructor where something fired. Part of the problem is that C++ discourages naked functions operating on structs rather than member functions on classes.

Whereas, if those functions were still all linear in a single function, you'd find what you were looking for in the same file you were already in.

That having been said, I'll probably organize that big function as though it were separate functions. But, then, I'm not allergic to adding an extra block level here or there which GASP might exceed 80 columns.

Plenty of modern countries still have kings. In practice it doesn't affect democracy much, other than being another source of waste and corruption.

It extremely doesn't make sense to have a DNS resolver resident in the kernel: DNS resolution is policy-intensive, involves various upgrades to cryptographic transports, and often requires debugging, all weak points of the kernel. Against all that, there's no performance advantage, and doing it admits a new networking API that almost no applications will use --- most new code being written in higher-level languages that already abstract over system calls.
It is very close to the “if the poor can’t have fun, then your city is boring” idea (ok, I might have made it up, but apologies if I stole it from someone and forgot). Applies to social media as well.

No. Those are different types of campaigns that are also paid.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that in the post because I know that not everyone likes to tinker as much as I do.
I'll add a note about this site in a revision soon.

However, I still find it useful to know how to do that manually.
Surely a site that banned ElonJet can't with a straight face be called a beacon of free speech?

(Edit: I would be very interested in an attempt to justify that based on free speech principles though.)
Or worse the same SKU but “for black friday”. It was common for things like TVs to be marketed in such a way as to think it was the same product as previously, but instead was a lesser product like a tv with fewer ports and a shorter warranty (which would imply cheaper life limited components like capacitors).
Not if it comes in the form of a link, or if you don't want a hundred bluechecks to reply calling you slurs you've never even heard of.
I saw a recent CNN report which claimed that political orientation on X is roughly even now, compared to pre Musk version (which was about 70 left, 30 right).
That might appear right wing twitter for people used to the left wing bias (unknowingly).

Not sure what the ratio is on BS, but it appears worse than old twitter. That would distort comparisons with X.

You are saying that giving up a chunk of their territory because Germany told them so does not mean Romania was under Germany’s control. That is the quality of your post. Pretty much the same quality in everything else you wrote (like for example what you wrote about the Einsatzngruppen troops)

1. Bluesky has stated they have no intention to add ads. Subscriptions are apparently coming soon

2. ATProto makes algorithms pluggable. Anyone can develop on, users can sub to those of their choosing, making switching easy should one become bad. It means there can be real feed competition without needing to move networks or apps. Same for moderation, individual choice and control is central to the design
X is absolutely everything except anything freedom of speech related! too funny!
That hasn't been my experience. Maybe that was the case 10+ years ago, but most people these days understand what they're giving up when using these services. The argument then becomes "I have nothing to hide", "I only use it occasionally", "What's the worst that could happen?", etc. It all boils down to them valuing the experience they're getting over their privacy. I've had these conversations with both technical and nontechnical people, and in nearly all cases I've had to argue in favor of privacy. I've yet to convince anyone to change their habits.

I share and empathize with the feeling of powerlessness, but most people will choose convenience, user experience, etc. over privacy, even when there are reasonable alternatives. Hell, I will sacrifice my own privacy if a service is indispensable and there's no alternative. We can't expect people who value it less to do otherwise.
I use ChatGPT and Claude daily, but I can't see a use case for why would I use LLM outside of these services.

Show HN: Some of my tools, may be usable for you
Hey everyone!

I’ve developed a few tools that I wanted to share with the community:

https://clipush.deno.dev
A simple way to send web push notifications using cURL, making the process much easier to integrate into your workflow. (An experiment for personal usage.)

https://request-bin.deno.dev
A tool that acts as a real-time HTTP request debugger with SSE logging to track and analyze requests efficiently. (Created after requestb.in introduced limits on free accounts. Personally used for testing webhooks.)

https://lock-states.deno.dev
A service to manage lock states across distributed systems, helping to ensure consistency in shared resources. (Personally used in my CI/CD pipelines to handle asynchronous tasks and wait until they are done.)

The UI on these services is quite limited, but they're just simple tools ;-) Let me know if you find them useful!
I've been doing Unix for 35+ years and have never fully understood how this works. I appreciate the holistic description here, talking about buffering behaviors across a bunch of different systems and components. I definitely learned something from it.
> This is not an academic distinction at all, and is extremely important if one is to understand how the dictatorship and the Final Solution actually worked.

Exactly. And understanding this is vitally important—labeling every member of the German military a "Nazi" can create the dangerous illusion that the ratio of nut jobs to normal people in 1930s Germany was dramatically different than it is in 2020s USA/UK/EU/wherever, but it's not. The ratios were about the same, and most people who were complicit in the Nazi atrocities were complicit in a very passive, "don't stand out" kind of way.

Exaggerating the number of true Nazis ironically makes it more likely that something similar will happen again because it creates the false impression that you need some sort of overwhelming consensus in favor of pure evil to end up with a Hitler in charge. It allows us to let our guard down because we know that we aren't surrounded by Nazis, so such a thing must be very far away indeed, right?
I disagree, this is actually a great use case for generative AI. There are many people who are great at writing, coding, hacking, or other talents, but are terrible artists. I know that I fall into this category, and I’m very excited about the prospect of using AI for any graphical assets I need for my projects.

Especially with an ebook, if the content is good, I frankly don’t even care if it even has a cover at all.

I've seen people do this but I think it's unlikely. The weight on an ICE car is slung much differently from an EV and placing a battery bank where your engine used to be is not a great idea.
LG's 65/115GWh (online/planned) plant in Poland is the biggest battery factory in EU.

But I believe the US surpassed the EU this year with the GM/LG's Ultium 2 factory. I have no doubt in my mind that the US battery manufacturing will become more competitive as they scale up and commoditize: GM for instance reported a 45% decline in battery cell cost YoY in 3Q 2023; followed by a sequential quarterly drop of $30/cell from the 1st 2024. With AMPC ($35/KWh), GM's per cell costs drops close to $80/KWh and is expected to fall further -- below $70/KWh in a couple of years.

Panasonic (NV): 40 GWh
Tesla (4680) : 9+?? GWh
GM/LG Ultium 1: 45 GWh (2022)
GM/LG Ultium 2: 45 GWh (2024)
SK Georgia : 21 GWh (2021)
This is not true afik. All blue accounts are sorted randomly but above non-blue ones. I don't think $16 ones get better ranking
Who's to say incentives cannot change?

People are leaving other platforms because of toxicity, their incentive is to find a place without it and keep it that way.

The moderation design means it will be easier to widely block trolls, meaning the effort can be collective instead of repeated by every user

I think that we're going to approach it from the top and bottom.

The second we have humanoid robots that can do maintenance on themselves as well as operate their assembly lines and assembly lines in general will be a massive shift.

I think the baseline for that will be a humanoid robot that has the price tag of a luxury car and that can load/unload the dishwasher as well as load/unload the washing machine/dryer and fold and put away clothes. That will be total boomer-bait for people who want to 'age in place' and long term care homes in general.

Once we have that we can focus on self-replication on the micro-scale. There is tremendous prior art in the form of ribosomes and cells in general. A single cell hundreds of millions of years ago was able to completely reshape the entire face of the earth and create every single organism that has come and gone on the Earth. From fungi to great whales to giraffes, jellyfish, flying squirrels, and sequoia trees the incredible variety of proteins in a myriad of configurations that life has produced is remarkable.

If we can harness that sort of self replication to make power our economy it will make the idea of bootstrapping the economy on this world and others much easier.

I don't think that's what anyone was assuming. A "pcap" is a file format for serialized network packets, not a particular application that generates them.
1. Use a service like Bluesky Follower Bridge to map over your followings from Twitter to Bluesky (it's not perfect so you need to check each follow to make sure it didn't grab the wrong person)

2. Seed your account with "Starter Packs" that bulk follow users with specific niches. You can search for these on bsky. Like there's one for C++ developers, a bunch for artists, some for journalists for specific niches, etc.

3. Customise the bluesky moderation service labeller.

4. Subscribe to some additional labellers.

- A major one is https://bsky.app/profile/skywatch.blue. The account also has a number of moderation lists you can use to auto-hide or auto-block problematic accounts.

- If you care about US politics this labeller is useful: https://bsky.app/profile/us-gov-funding.bsky.social

5. Adjust your moderation and threading settings. Try out the new threaded replies mode. Try changing the reply ordering settings.

6. When you use the "Discover" tab, click the triple dots (...) on a post and click "Show more like this" and "Show less like this" to tune the algorithm for the discover tab. It starts out really bland/boring/random but it tunes in pretty quickly if you work with it.

7. Browse the Feeds tab to find custom feeds you like for specific niches. Add those to your home page so you can switch to them easily. These feeds will be generally a lot more focused than your main feeds but they are super useful for only seeing specific content you care about.

There's nothing preventing Bluesky, or someone else, from building an "algorithmic" feed on top of the AT protocol. That's what the Discover feed is, for all intents and purposes.

What is harder is Bluesky forcing users into their flavour of an algorithmic feed, the same way e.g. X doesn't let you remove the Trending section, or how Reddit always shows you comments ordered by "Best". Bluesky users currently can choose the feed they want to use.
Looks like tnlnbn already answered, but the other benefit to having a raw network capture is often this is performed on devices (pico and exablaze just to name two) that provide very precise timestamping on a packet by packet basis, typically as some additional bytes prepended to the header.

Most modern trading systems performing competitive high frequency or event trades have performance thesholds in the tens of nanos, and the only place to land at that sort of precision is running analysis on a stable hardware clock.

So far this has not been determined and there's plenty of reasonable arguments that they are not breaking copyright law.
They’re not black boxes, you’re just not an electrical engineer. They’re actually way simpler than ICE in a bunch of ways that really improve reliability. We just need to develop a collective understanding of how electric drivetrains work, the kind of understanding that we had developed in previous generations for ICE cars
I was commenting on Twitter the other night just how bad Twitter's recommendations --- now hard to avoid, since everyone's funneled into the official web app --- have become; it's all random US political figures that don't intersect any of my interests.

I likened it to 2003, when people fled Windows for the MacBook over issues like crapware (which: the X algorithm basically is). And: a lot of early MacBook adopters, most especially the ones that had been there for a long time, were insufferable! But we hit a point where one product was clearly better than the other, and you roll the tape forward and see how good the long-term prospects are for the niche product that just does what all its real users actually want it to.

Hard to imagine why someone would go through so much trouble to acquire Twitter just to Ballmer-ize it. You usually have to have started and built up a product yourself to screw it up this badly.
recaptcha is terrible if you are cursed with an ISP that Google deems icky for some indiscernible reason. at the time, I was getting slowly fading bullshit that invariably gaslit me with "try again" several times. when they've switched to custom captcha, I actually started posting again instead of just lurking.

yeah, the recent 5-15 minute countdown before your first post is a bizarre thing, but I assume the volume of spam and ban-evading schizos they're dealing with is ungodly. a single dedicated shithead can shit up a general or a slow board indefinitely by just resetting their router or switching airplane mode on/off for a few minutes when they get banned.

>but now 4chan is one of the most user-hostile social media platforms around.

virtually every single big platform requires your phone number.
I wonder if smaller, more active and tight-knit communities are healthier and preferable, but the combination of growth-at-all-costs, catering to influencers and fear of "bubbles" keeps those communities from becoming more common.
Man Keeps a Rock for Years Hoping It's Gold.Turns Out to Be More Valuable
On twitter, photos, text, video get more reach compared to links. This makes sense, as Elon wants people to pay for traffic.
Neither one of them follows an economic ideology: the only ideology either cares about is power. The oligarchies in the respective nations want different things, hence the surface differences you point out.
Yeah the mingw method on windows is a ludicrous thing to even think about, and llama.cpp still has that as the suggested option in the readme for some weird reason. Endless sourcing of paths that never works quite right. I literally couldn't get it to work when I first tried it last year.

Meanwhile Cmake is like two lines and somehow it's the backup fallback option? I don't get it. And well on linux it's literally just one line with make.
Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate that avoid all the headaches
Hey HN,
I'm a student and I creating websites in my free time.

So I noticed I was repeatedly setting up the same infrastructure for these projects and I want to help people to avoid the first headaches of starting a new project.
This repetitive setup was eating into valuable time that could be spent on actual business building.

Built by a solo founder, for solo founders. Stop wasting time on infrastructure and focus on what matters: building your business.

I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls :)

Of course engagement is better when posts have less competition for attention.
> Why just fire them?

Legal ass covering--especially if the employee is a minority.
Why? It is quite clear that the mass populace just doesn't care. That's the bigger story. So many people are quite happy giving away data that they don't fully understand or even want to take time to try to understand as long as they get free/discounted service/fees and use the same equipment to keep up with the Jones. Another study should be why otherwise smart people cannot come to terms with this.
Yes, a lot of weird decisions were made at Intel.

Ironically, AMD waited so long to implement AVX-512, but now has it on both server and mobile chips (natively and 256 bit emulation, respectively). Intel started the whole thing, has a very fragmented stack and is now preparing those E cores with even more new extensions.

Most importantly for Search and AI, it adds AVX_VNNI, which can be used for faster 8-bit integer dot-products: https://github.com/ashvardanian/SimSIMD/blob/75c426fb190a9d4...

Would be interesting to see how matrix multiplication throughput will differ between AVX-512-capable P cores and a larger quantity of AVX_VNNI-capable E cores!

This was nice. I took the road less traveled and tried building on Windows and AMD.

Spoiler: Vulkan with MSYS2 was indeed the easiest to get up and running.

I actually tried w64devkit first and it worked properly for llama-server, but there were inexplicable plug-in problems with llama-bench.

Edit: I tried w64devkit before I read this write-up and I was left wondering what to try next, so the timing was perfect.
