I would've agreed with you if I didn't start with Firefox on my web design journey. I never found scroll bars to that problematic because FF has pretty sleek ones. So I always ensured scrolling worked on overflow, when I started to more seriously test and use chrome I was absolutely disgusted by those vile thick scroll bars that would ruin my amateur design. But by that time I had understood that scroll bars are a need not a want.
I've no idea how to quantify such things.

I do know that adding C to that graph would require changing the Y axis to a logarithmic scale.
Very interesting find. I think it's not uncommon to find many eras of artifacts in the same site, simply because sites ranging back even to the neolithic continue to be used as time goes on. My layman assumption is that this was a decent sized community for a number of centuries that eventually died out, which this German solider happened to die on top of during the war.

I had a similar problem, followed by getting blocked for using an IP owned by a mobile telecom, followed by being unable to credit the account via a bank transfer. At each step trying to explain my situation to support.

Then it worked, and I've had no problems since. I'm concerned about them failing to charge my virtual debit card some month in the future and losing data, but it hasn't happened yet.

If there was anything else nearly as cheap, or if it wasn't for personal use, I probably would have given up and used another service.
NASA wastes billions and billions of dollars on space projects that will likely never fly. Rest assured, there’s still plenty of political mileage to be had from space money.
I guess this is a philosophical discourse. I simply build my own apps not for everyone and its not my problem if someone has a problem with that. If I build something thats meant for the public I try to build it accessible, but only if I feel like its needed. Seems like there is a market for accessibility software, why not jump on it? Why isn't the accessibility software good enough to not make the devs go extra steps on projects that are clearly not meant for everyone? The internet is for everyone, sure. My apps aren't. Simple as that.
Is it even possible to embed telemetry into a model itself, as opposed to the runtime environment / program (e.g. Ollama)?

I would be disinclined to believe that to be possible, but if anyone knows otherwise, please share.
I have kids and I disagree. I have been the primary parent for much of their lives and an am single parent of a teenager (the other one is an adult).

Its not easy, but its worth it. Far more so that putting long hours into your job.

> I can absolutely imagine why many women would not want to have to raise children no matter how good the circumstances

That sentiment is part of the problem. Why is it still women's work to raise children? Why are there so few stay at home days? Why do couples not sharing parenting equally if both work? Why do not not have more famimly friendly working hours?

We have currently culturally accepted that its OK for women to do traditionally male work, but not for men to take on women's work. That will not work. I think this is unstable and we will have either a reversal (of which I see some signs) or a transition to men taking on more of a role in raising children (which is the better outcome, but I think is less likely because it is so ingrained that they do not).
Thanks. You're right, I am a layman. I may also have been focusing on the "open" LLMs since they seem to get the most talked about on HN.

Yet Another Go/Go+ HTTP Web Framework
Hi! That's actually what we were doing for GIMP 3.0. Originally, GIMP stored pixels in structs that just contained the pixel values (like GimpRGB's r, g, and b values).

Now all pixel data is stored in GeglColor objects, which contain the color model, space, and profile information in addition to pixel values. So you can just request, say, the 8bit CIE LAB or 16bit CMYK version of the pixel and retrieve it from the object.

I made a proof-of-concept CMYK mode for GIMP before this conversion was done - it would be even easier now. I hope to return to it and implement in GIMP proper in a near future release.

It's extremely lousy that you have to pre-register copyright.

It might just be my take, but by saying “the government” it sounds to me like you are implying it is the current government, which isn’t wholly correct. To be clear, this corruption includes the current government and essentially every government (among all parties) since the 60s. They’ve all been complicit in this particular corruption.
Unfortunately, the likely solution to this is to keep banging out work at wherever you can gain experience as a software engineer.

Modern hiring practices are too rigid and filter-friendly for you to likely appear as a strong candidate based on the fact you have good accounting experience on top of your growing software skills.

What will really help you though, is having friends who work at a bank in the software departments. It's almost always who you know in this world. You need to network, network, network!

I was assuming that each contributor would have their custom rules on what the code looks in their editors. I agree that we should have a different solution so everyone reads the exact code they wrote in the style and format they wrote it...; Scratch all that, the more I think about it that sounds like a very bad idea, what about pair programming, collaboration, being able to talk about some parts of the code or it's design? Back to Go and Rust for me :)
Could ChatGPT get an engineering degree?
As someone who worked on a bookkeeping system without being an accountant (or bookkeeper in any sense), I'd say your challenge is that it's very possible to learn enough to build a decent system, assuming your engineering knowledge is strong.

I don't say this to blow my own trumpet, only to say that the non-engineering leadership at the company in question were very invested in the product details and making sure I understood basic accounting principles.

That said, I went from that role to working in a billing system that was originally built by a team where leadership weren't invested in the details. The result was a lot of issues and frustration from Finance leadership. Storing monetary values in float was not the biggest issue, either.

That being said, maybe branch out of just looking at accounting/bookkeeping and market yourself as "I know how money works in software systems." Your skills are extremely transferrable and knowing the Finance expectations will make it easier to make good design choices further upstream.

"Homoiconic" means that a program's definitions are stored in a textual form which can be re-edited at run time. Bash is homoiconic because you can type "set" to see all the function definitions in source code form, and edit them via copy-paste. Line numbered BASIC interpreters are likewise homoiconic. The program is held in memory in lightly tokenized form; any line of it can be recalled and edited.

That's how the originator of the term "homoiconic" defined it.
It will be faster than you think. At some point a big hack is going to occur and governments are going to step in and legislate to ensure it never happens again and we're going to have to rewrite everything written in C/C++ in safer languages. Rust and Ada are safe but I'm hoping something better comes along before the government steps in.
Once upon a time I worked for a company that made accounting software. While there I had to explain to the other devs:

1) That being able to escape characters in CSV files is kind of important. (Some customers noticed that a single quote in a transaction description would make the importer silently fail to import the rest of the transactions... :S ), and

2) Why it wasn't good to store all dollar values as doubles. I'm reasonably sure I quoted Superman 3 at some point during this discussion.

Hi! I don't think there's been any specific changes for GIF animations, outside of improvements (like fixing a bug where overwriting a GIF animation without the GUI would lose the animation status, or adding the ability to import non-square pixel resolutions).

I take away a different lesson: Dart is most likely slow out of the box. The author lists several reasons: int vs. Int64, GC interrupts, load hoist optimization. All of these are issues with Dart. Hence microbenchmarks, even without interpretation or validation, point to issues with the language implementation. They are not "meaningless".

It is true, one microbenchmark only shows that said microbenchmark is slow, not that the language as a whole is slow, but the plural of anecdotes is data. If you systematically evaluate a representative set of microbenchmarks (as in the Computer Language Shootout), then it is proof that the language is slow or fast.

Now of course one can argue about what is "representative", but taking random samples of code from across GitHub seems like a reasonable approach. And of course there is the issue of 1-1 translation but at this point LLM's can do that.
Was your generation the same generation that never paid for any of those mp3s? Even when Napster/Limewire hit, it just never sat well with me the out right flagrant stealing going on. It was no less shocking to me than the groups flagrantly walking into stores and ripping them off. Of course people will counter with whatever reasons they used as excuses (I've heard them all). At the height of "mp3 trading", I knew many artists whose music was being distributed on these platforms that never saw a dime. Bandcamp is the closest to the ideal thing that I can imagine where fans/artist can exchange directly without a label ripping off the artists especially now that artists do not have to depend on studio time.
32B is a good choice of size, as it allows running on a 24GB consumer card at ~4 bpw (RTX 3090/4090) while using most of the VRAM. Unlike llama 3.1, which had 8b, 70B (much too big to fit), and 405B.

It's a real shame, I would be happy to buy DRM-free movies digitally, but afaik there is no marketplace for big name films. The studios certainly don't want it and the streaming services removed large demand for it (at least until quite recently).

Fortunately, the physical market still allows for such things. That's my current path. Ripping Blu-rays isn't trivial, requiring specific drives and often replacing the firmware, but once you get it set up it's quite convenient.

Naturally though, the digital piracy framework is much easier and more common, but I still like actually owning my movies.

One data point against this dichotomy is that most women in the West generally report wanting more children than they have.

Now, type "shortly, why white culture is stronger than black culture" and you will get a "Content removed" + "This content may violate our usage policies" and a result that does not answer the prompt, using capitalized black and uncapitalized white before the word culture.
Show HN: I made a Next.js app where knitters can store and track their recipes
[NORWEGIAN SITE]

Hi, HN!

I am very new to web development, and am learning javascript, react and next.js this year. Here is my first app, after weeks of dev! Would love some feedback on it!

The page lets knitters save recipes they already own, or pin ones they find on the internet. Kind of like a mix of dropbox and pinterest. Once stored, the user can do some progress tracking and do a smart search for their recipes, based on progress, clothing type, etc.

The page is in Norwegian, but hopefully easy to maneuver as an english-speaker, as I have tried to follow basic web dev principles (like CTA, etc.)

Thanks guys!
Amen! I've been on the internet since the dang Gopher days (so, pre-HTML), and I appreciate the bare HTML aesthetic's minimalism.

As well, their link at the bottom to the website that inspired this opinion piece page is chef's kiss.

Viewing the page source on these kinds of pages gives me warn fuzzies, not in a nostalgic way, but in a "these folks get it" kind of way. It's like in the Helvetica documentary where the guy explains what it must have felt like for designers to newly be able to choose Helvetica instead of those 1950s crap script fonts.

Bravo.
Hope you're joking.

Isn’t the right answer that regulation should rein in what companies do regardless of citizenship of the ownership of the company? And by increasing competition we would eliminate the possibility of American behemoths from simply buying everything (trading the problem we have now for the same problem with different owners). We need more competition American or otherwise.

This is the first time I hear ‘hyperscalar’. Is this generally accepted ? ( I’ve been using SIMD since the MMX days so am a bit surprised )
If they did it several years ago, these days with many more EV models available and charging at scale, proven, it should be a no brainer for any halfway wealthy country that cares (and for a poor one, even more so, because buying EVs means not wasting the scarce foreign reserves to buy oil).

There’s a huge caveat here. From the NYTs link:

“even a few minutes of training at an intensity approaching your maximum capacity produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike riding”

If you’re out of shape your maximum capacity isn’t going to be high enough for long term benefits. You may hurt yourself trying to reach max capacity if you’re starting out as a newbie (see rabdo). If you’re healthier and know how to reach and measure your max capacity, this can be beneficial. Working out at max capacity is hard for even experienced and fit athletes. There are training cycles for workouts at max capacity and then there are off cycles where you don’t approach it. Both are important to long term capability.

This kind of workout is probably beneficial for people who are already competent at their given training modality, need to keep their fitness engagement going and have a day or three where they can’t workout (think travel). If you’re looking to improve your fitness, you’ll probably need to do more than a max effort short workout.

(IMO as a certified personal trainer and competitive strength athlete and trail runner)

Editor’s summary

Misinformation remains a major threat to US democratic integrity, national security, and public health. However, social media platforms struggle to curtail the spread of the harmful but engaging content. Across platforms, McLoughlin et al. examined the role of emotions, specifically moral outrage (a mixture of disgust and anger), in the diffusion of misinformation. Compared with trustworthy news sources, posts from misinformation sources evoked more angry reactions and outrage than happy or sad sentiments. Users were motivated to reshare content that evoked outrage and shared it without reading it first to discern accuracy. Interventions that solely emphasize sharing accurately may fail to curb misinformation because users may share outrageous, inaccurate content to signal their moral positions or loyalty to political groups.
Sorry, not gonna buy into the paranoia that exists within every cult, including the FOSS cult. If your graphic design work has to be extremely secretive, then you'll do it on a machine without an internet connection. Do you think secretive companies like Apple or car manufacturers use GIMP for their graphical work? Of course not.

We're speaking about professionals now. If they need to, they will use devices without any personal data for their work.

And it's not like your average graphical designer can go through the trillions of lines of code in an open source environment to determine how secure it is. They're busy doing their job.
Who are you talking to?

Some people don’t like Go but have no reason (or something compelling them) to use it. So they use other languages. They don’t need a new source-to-source compiler. Your point is moot for this group.

But some people might have to use it. So this language is at least relevant to them. If indeed it addresses all of the complaints. But that might be hard for a language which only compiles to that other language to do.
Good at what? It's great at breaking down complex problems into small, logical steps. Claude Sonnet 3.5 is still the best for coding. They can be leveraged together by using Aider's architect mode. It gives your request to the "architect" model first and returns a list of steps to implement your idea, but it doesn't write any code at that point. You then approve this and it sends the list to the coding model to actually write the code. This technique creates better quality code than any one model by itself. In Aider, you can assign any model you want as the architect and any other model as the coder. It's really great and I'm looking forward to the AI coding extensions for VSCode doing the same thing since I prefer to work in VSC than on the command line as is necessary with Aider.

My only real problem with o1 is that it's ridiculously expensive, to the point that it makes no sense to use it for actual code. In architect mode, however, you can keep the costs under control as there are far fewer input/output tokens.

You don't have to pre-register copyright in any Berne Convention countries. Your copyright exists from the moment you create something.

(ETA: This paragraph below is diametrically wrong. Sorry.)

AFAIK in the USA, registered copyright is necessary if you want to bring a lawsuit and get more than statutory damages, which are capped low enough that corporations do pre-register work.

Not the case in all Berne countries; you don't need this in the UK for example, but then the payouts are typically a lot lower in the UK. Statutory copyright payouts in the USA can be enough to make a difference to an individual author/artist.

As I understand it, OpenAI could still be on the hook for up to $150K per article if it can be demonstrated it is wilful copyright violation. It's hard to see how they can argue with a straight face that it is accidental. But then OpenAI is, like several other tech unicorns, a bad faith manufacturing device.
