> While the author doesn't explicitly define what is "great", I 100% believed that what it is defined as.

I understand that is his definition, but then talk about that. Instead of saying that the exhibition ended up "mediocre" say that "ticket sales were lower than expected" or "sold less paintings than we hoped for", or "didn't bring in anybody".

Because as is he just writes "after weeks of this you end up with something mediocre" and "predict which exhibitions would end up great". That is very vibes based. Did he just not enjoy those exhibitions? Or is it tied to something objective outside of his head? (such as revenue, or crowd size, or critical acclaim) The first is not interesting, the second is.

> That he did a good job by "helping grow the revenues"[0].

Or did not do a good job. Base on the very sentence you quote which starts "It helped that the year I started ...". Doesn't give me the impression that even the author believes it is all their doing. Very easily someone could write the same story from a differed perspective "we hired a guy to run the café, but he was way too distracted to keep consistently at it. First he ruffled some feathers with the board then he mellowed out so we kept him around. He pooh-poohed artist who was not as responsive in electronic communication as he would have liked, but we told him softly that is not his decision and to shut it. At the end he was only showing up sporadically and then left to write or something." We only have his world on it and even based on that his track record is less than stelar.
> I'd argue that there are far, far too few independent groceries in Stockholm, for example, for reasons that have nothing to do with the transportation infrastructure and everything to do with the lack of effective antitrust legislation, or lack of enforcement (I actually don't know which it is).

Completely agree with you, there are far too few independent grocers and I make a point to shop at them to avoid only ending up at Coop/ICA/Hemköp/Willys. Also because my local independent grocer stocks very different products than the big chains, there's a lot of ethnic ingredients (Arabic, Ethiopian [including fresh injera], Korean, South American, and so on) that are entirely missing from the ICA Maxi close by. At least the one around me has found a good niche to compete.

When I moved to Sweden 10+ years ago a friend of mine told me his retirement plan was to save enough money to open a grocery store, I thought he was joking but he did that 2 years ago and it is actually quite profitable to be a Hemköp franchisee...

Résumé/CV: https://www.rugu.dev/cv.pdf

Email: ugur@rugu.dev

I have experience in both backend and frontend development, mainly in fintech but not limited to it.

I've primarily used JavaScript and am well-versed in popular frameworks and libraries like React, Fastify, and Lodash. Have also used other mainstream programming languages (Python, Java, C++, and C) for both recreational activities and university projects in the past.

PostgreSQL has been my go-to database, but I've also worked with Redis, MongoDB, LevelDB, and Prometheus for various projects.

I have experience with sysadmin and DevOps tools, including Linux/Unix, Bash scripting, Git, Docker, and Nix.

I’m a passionate developer who enjoys learning and building new products. Feel free to reach out if interested in collaborating!

That might be true but then I don't think people should pursue things they don't enjoy in the first place.
> By your definition, super-successful kitsch-meisters like Thomas Kinkade are great artists.

And Vincent van Gogh is not. Or was not a great artist, then he died and become a great artist somehow suddenly after his death. (at least by that definition, which just to make it clear, I don't agree with.)

> There are more wacky compromises listed than there are good ideas.

I am happy to learn about other's opinions and especially contrary opinions, otherwise I would not have made a public post. I am myself not 100% sure that the idea will be successful, it would be stupid to think it certainly will; but the good thing is that the existing C code will be unaffected (or improved; for example https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20241129180326.722436-1-p... was found while looking at the code to write the corresponding Rust bindings).

Sometimes you have to try crazy things. One perhaps controversial changes I headed in QEMU was to introduce the Meson build system. You may wonder what is wrong with me. I am happy to say that since then I have almost never had to ask a question about the build system, which was a very common occurrence before, and it has actually simplified the implementation of features such as custom device configuration,
improved module loading, entitlement support for macOS, relocatable installs, autogenerated parsing of the configure command line, improvements to cross-compilation. While slightly reducing the number of lines of code compared to before. So I disagree that exploratory work is "a decade of insane effort".

So I am curious, what are the wacky compromises?

> They have another policy specifying that they maintain the games they sell. They don't sell as-is, they warrant that the game will run appropriately.

Would be helpful if you've linked to that policy :)

They do update some of the classics, that's true. Expecting them to fix bugs in every single game on the store is madness. They do have tech support that you can reach out to and they refund games if they don't work for you. That's as much as one can expect.
It's not about not solving a problem, it's about being a part of the problem. GOG took part in bullying a developer for political reasons. We don't want to live in the world where you can't criticize China or you will be cancelled.

Of course Microsoft is guilty of removing the Tiananmen Square massacre result from Bing on an anniversary of that event. Did they ever explain why that happened? I think not.
As someone who takes prep what a silly question.

Of course it's easier to get a shot than to take individual pills, I think people would universally agree on that.

Also with prep, since you have to continue dosing 2 days after last activity you get awkward situations where you left it at home or get distracted by life events.

I think this is more common because most people do event based dosing rather than continuous (which would form a habit of taking it every day).
Not an expert, but I was paid to write OCaml and Haskell for several years. There are pros and cons but my conclusion is that Haskell has cool features but is too complex. I can iterate faster in OCaml, with the same safety benefits. Learning curve is also less steep for beginners. I think it's also more suitable for programming in the large thanks to the module system.

I'm pretty sad that OCaml isn't more popular than it is.

So this is the solution to LLM hallucinations. People need to complain loud enough and threaten/file lawsuits and OpenAI will add an if-else statement erroring out the chat if your name is mentioned.
> Do you have kids, if so how do you deal with frequent disruptions to the morning routine? Do you not have days where you just need to get up and go e.g. to catch a flight, get to a meeting, take a kid to school, or because you stayed up late and got drunk, etc... and taking vitamins took a back seat?

This is crazy. You deal with the morning routine by taking your pills when the alarm goes off, because there's nothing the kids can be doing that won't wait for that.

Flying, driving, and driving are exactly the same. Take your pill when the alarm goes off.

If you drank so much that it rendered you unconscious through the time you needed to take your pill, the solution is "don't do that". That's not exactly an unavoidable necessity of life.
The documentation seems a bit sparse. Also, I couldn't find binaries so I'm guessing building from source is required at the moment?

I'm curious about the binary size of it all. Could this be compiled with WASM and run on static pages?
Yeah, that's a pretty solid approach if the LLM you're using (and the third party that hosts it, if you're not self-hosting) supports that.

One minor footgun I've seen with that approach is that while the model is guaranteed to produce syntactically valid outputs, it can still "trap" the model into outputting something both wrong and low-probability if you design your schema badly in specific ways (contrived example: if you're doing sentiment analysis of reviews and you have the model pick from the enumeration ["very negative", "negative", "slightly negative", "neutral", "positive"], then the model might encounter a glowing review and write "very", intending to follow it up with " positive", but since " positive" isn't a valid continuation it ends up writing "very negative" instead).
It's mechanically capable of per-token routing, but the routing tends to be stable across more than one token. It's weird.
That's the amazing thing about the apparently still enthusiastic acceptance of LLMs for tasks that are better done by experts. We've moved on before, but now sometimes it seems almost perfectly okay to peddle uncertainty, hallucinations and random results. And no, it's not about democratizing computer use, it's about choosing the right resource for the right job if the outcome is going to be about something. Everything else is a degeneration into vagueness or half-knowledge, not to mention the problems of missing or abandoned data privacy and (software) freedom.
Well, I think they key is I try and select topics that I find very fun, even they are a little off the beaten path. I know there's pressure to teach the curriculum, but honestly there are some cool things you can do with students if there's extra time that might get them hooked even if it's not in the curriculum, like:

1. Coloring maps (four color theorem)
2. Drawing curves and then looking for pathological ones (quadratic equations ...but more of an exploratory rather than methodological approach)
3. Infinite series (but just discuss some paradoxes people thought of centuries ago...)
4. Triangles on spheres

...if you don't make some of it extremely rigorous, there's a lot of basic facets of these things like the drawing aspect that can be quite fun. And TBH it makes sense to start there because mathematicians started out exploring these topics just with random calculations and doodles rather than rigorous proofs.

About: Making software for 35+ years.. Seen quite some things and places.. and attitudes. Been all, bottom to top, wearing many hats, always hands-on. Have my own python course, coding style, some open-source stuff, and even opinions on things.

Principal or Staff or Master engineer, Architect, CTO, co-founder.. very senior programmer. Most interested in Mentoring team/s - newbies or not - as a playing trainer, within the team and the project/work. Or advising, on organisational levels, how to do things better. Anyway will still code things.. But no politics.

IMO The interesting part of making software, is the people, while technicals.. are solvable. i can guide people how to _think_ _correctly_. While building something good, together.

Probably i will ruin quite some illusions.. because in software making, what's doable, sellable, wanted, and needed, rarely overlap.. But when they do, the dream comes true. Let's find it..

May relocate anywhere to stay with the team, as IMO "remote" does not work for any knowledge-or-culture -building activities.

Have fun
Weirdly it does have to do with words, but not intentionally. Mechanically the routing is per-token, but the routing is frequently stable across a word as an emergent property. At least, that's how I read the mixtral paper.
I did not speak against using money to get political power and benefit oneself.

This was about propaganda of painting it as being somehow pro-social and criticism of those who believe it.
Nah I disagree with that. Well, I do think confidence is useful BUT it only gets you so far. There are plenty of things I am "confident" in doing but don't really enjoy and after a while I just left them behind because they just don't provide a lot of enjoyment.
One of those "Never Ever" projects. The idea appeals to me, but most of the emacs user community seems uninterested so I don't think it will ever succeed. Nonetheless, Godspeed.
What are the stats which justify the "record rates" in the title?
Not at all. I tried to make the point of distinction clear by saying I do not use JS, nor Haskell, daily, but JS is more readable, without a doubt, so it's more like saying something like "english is more readable than french to a spanish speaker" (the analogy makes much less sense, but trying to correct yours). I think that we can agree that everyone's a priori is what they know in the world, which is common language... and everyone is familiar with "recipes", or step-by-step instructions... which is the same as imperative code, not functional.

Don't get me wrong, I like FP and have been trying to get into it for a long time. But currently I strongly believe FP as commonly done in Haskell is just too far from what we expect even before we start writing code. Combining functions and chaining Monads just seems to me to be extremely hard to do and understand, and I don't need to do any of that in "lesser" languages. However, I am finally "getting it" with newer languages like Flix and Unison - they let me just use `let` and stuff like that which makes the code trivial again, while being basically purely functional.
I don't have much issue with buying vitamins, because I take them with me. Just as I take toothpaste, etc. If I am there long enough to need more vitamins, it is in the same category as needing more toothpaste, and you resupply as you would at home.

No kids. I do have emergency paging and downed server / PROD to deal with 24/7, not the same as kids, but wake-disrupting all the same.

There is rarely something urgent enough to prevent urinating in the morning, and being thirsty after waking up is typcially a no go either. If prod is down maybe I'll eval first, but humans need out and in of water. I'm not going to urinate on the floor, and I'm not going to sit dehydrated and parched mouth for long either.

So wake, urinate, drink and vitamins are in that too.

My vitamins are in the bathroom, and it takes less than 10 seconds to consume them.

> On a side note, recently the government of Manitoba in Canada removed requirement for maths teachers to take university maths courses. This is being pushed strongly by the education departments of university, which shows how much these maths teachers hate maths.

That is messed up. Harsh. What is also messed up is that to become a math teacher, you have to go to teacher's college. That's one reason why I never became a teacher. I think I would do better than most at teaching (at least based on the comments I got in my student teacher reviews) but spending another two years at school is rather humiliating and costly.

Well you're not wrong. As long as there's people in the loop there will be their own opinions injected into their writing. The trick is to find a propagandist or owner that aligns with your views haha. Near impossible these days when Murdoch owns most of them of course.
If you're at the point where you decided the 1000 nodes are required, you should probably have already considered the sensible alternatives first, and concluded this was somehow better.

The network saturation is just a necessary cost of running such a massive cluster.

I really have no idea what kind of system would require 1000 nodes, that couldn't be replaced by 100, 10x larger, nodes instead. And at that point, you should probably be thinking of ways to scale the network itself as well.
I’m impressed you even have “friends”. By the way you described it I think you are talking about assets

It's not particularly interesting. YC relies on people who leave their employers to found startups. Companies tend not to like employees leaving to start their own companies and often sue them over it, which is 99% of the time meritless and nothing more than bullying. It is in YC's interest to use its resources to prevent this bullying because it both sends the signal to other companies that they would be unwise to try to bully a YC startup and to potential founders that if they join YC they will be protected.
You can choose people AND understand that they care only about money and not take their political talk seriously.
There is also this thing that is very specific to Silicon Valley parties, you may have some dirt on some VC partners or the other way around.

This also affects the dynamics of the regular business, it's not right, nor fair, and outright disgusting, though sadly happening.

Will the administration go to the point that they will investigate such ? I doubt it, it's too risky for the economy.

It feels like the movement in the community is also slowing down. One of the most popular streamers T90 for example, has had less and less views through the last years, a reversal of a long trend upwards.

They also added easier ways to do things which were giving competitive edge to the players who could efficiently do them the hard-way, perhaps reducing the motivation to train further for the top players (why train to do hard tricks if they could be automated by the game later).

Disagree. Social ideals are fundamentally part of business for the majority of human existence. As someone else mentioned, the east india company most definitely had social goals baked into it.

Socially agnostic ideals for firms is relatively recent, and entirely good for business. Perhaps from the “greed is good” days of laissez faire policy.

The limits of those policies were found and society has learned a new tool to make its desires known - by being vocal customers.

Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
I want to build an AI agent that lets me define what information interests me, such as "the hottest design trend discussions on Reddit" or "who's looking for a remote designer collaboration." This AI agent would automatically browse various forums and news sites daily, dig up information, and only push the most relevant stuff to me. I'd like to ask everyone:

1. Besides web scraping and large language models, do I need any other technologies?

2. Besides writing a dedicated scraper for each website, is there a simpler technology available?

3. I plan to have every piece of information analyzed by a large language model to see if it meets my criteria, but it feels like it consumes a lot of tokens. Is there a more cost-effective way?

4. Is my technical approach completely wrong? Is there an easier way?
