Breaking news: Founders find out people in midlife have young kids.
I tried making Dyalog bindings but wasn't smart enough to figure it out at the time based on the info available and I doubt much has changed regarding either my intelligence or information availability there. But it would be awesome!
That is the wrong question.

The right question is how have things have moved on, then you can reevaluate the technical choices and understand why they are inappropriate.
Interesting. Why the inconsistent use of hash rockets?
Just wanted to say thanks for pushing on this front! I'm not using the libc portion but the improvements to clang/llvm that allow this to work have been incredible. When I was looking a few months back the only options that felt practical for writing large amounts of device code were cuda/hip or opencl and a friend suggested I just try C _and it worked_. Definitely made my "most practical/coolest that it actually works" list for 2024 :)
I have two elderly parents and three kids, and take them to a mid size hospital near a small city (under 50k people). The ER waits can be long, but they’ve accurately addressed the problem every time. Are ER waits shorter in other countries?

It also takes no time at all to get an appointment. I take my kids to the pediatrician for basically nothing. My 5 year old ran face first into the edge of a table. The pediatrician saw him an hour later, authorized a CT scan, and we got the images and the doctor reviewed them an hour or two after that.
What happens if both parents work?
Most broken systems have bad incentives.

Companies don’t want to train people ($) because employees with skills and experience are more valuable to other companies because retention is also expensive.

We are not training AND retaining talent.
I perceived having "old" (co-)founders as a subtle but immanent disadvantage in the prototypical deep tech startup scene. When you talk to VC youngsters who barely started a university studies this is awkward at best and not successful in average. Things change dramatically when you talk to partners in the VC firms where the aged founder and partner meet at a similar age. This may sound trivial but these non-technical human interactions are quite dominating in my life, unfortunately. Age is as important as degrees or previous experience as founder.

(This is more a comment to the whole thread than this one comment that initiated it)

There is no clear answer to what art is, but there are many approaches to try to answer it. That is essentially what Theory of Art (or Philosophy of Art) is concerned about as a field of study.

Those approaches appear at distinct points in time and their ideas are rooted on the art and context of that time.

If you want to look at this site like Kant looked at art, from a pure aesthetic form, then you will say it is not art. You may even be offended that the question is asked.

But look at it through the lens of modern art theory, where art is communication, where art is experience, where art is interaction, where art is more about the content than the form, then it is definitely art.

If Kant had access to the Internet and was concerned about privacy, he might have found it to be art too :)
This was a great talk.

The Falcon web server scares me. I wish Puma had better support for web sockets/fibers.

"Family obligations and priorities are prominent (kids in high school/college)."

Maybe it's my bubble but I'm 41 and most people I know my age have kids in the 2-12 age range, not high school/college.

I would love to be a founder but I am tired as hell, and don't have the wealth to quit my job to start a company.
>these limitations seem rather self imposed.

Simply put, aging is a bitch.

I can't pull all-nighters or concentrate as hard as I could in my youth anymore, among many other things, and I'm more or less constantly exhausted simply due to the fierce but uncaring passage of time.

>mental rather than physical

No doubt it's more mental than physical, but it all comes down to aging one way or another. There's less wonder in life the more I experience; I'm just tired and the only explanation is I'm old, full stop. Most people are more young at 35 than I am, but I'm not one of them.

Right, but you're missing the point here that interpreting the law requires someone with a law degree, and all the real-world context that they have, and all the subtle knowledge about what things mean.

The Bible is also a short and well-known text, but if I want to answer religious questions for observant Christians, I can't just train it on that. You need a deep real world context to understand that "my buddy made SWE II and I'm only SWE I and it's eating me up" is about the biblical notion of covetousness.

People under 16 shouldn't have smartphones. They should be taken during class, put on a shoe hanger. They should be put away during dinner and family time. Smartphones and tablets are ruining people during the time they need to learn and grow the most. I can't imagine what this generation will be like, especially mixed with all the greed, exploitation, and neglect coming from the top down by the people established before them.
DST started as a wartime idea to use less fuel for artificial lighting, but studies never found evidence of actual energy savings or reductions in car crashes because all it does is shift usage. Whether we drop DST or make it year-round, people are going to adjust their schedules to match.

If we want to give people an extra hour for personal time, we should pass a law requiring employers to allow telework or invest transit since that would actually free up 1-2 hours per day.
"Might mean" is a far cry from "our hypothesis is probably still right." This type of speculation is commonplace -- even expected -- in the discussion section of an article. Not much different than the lame duck "further research is needed to..."
It’s the phones. There has to be outright bans or restrictions put on them and the apps. But the schools also are app-enabled these days. My 7th grader has to respond to email from the teacher on assignments.

But back to the apps and social media, when we put restrictions on use and got back to the real focus on family and school, then the healing started. It was instant.

I encourage everyone to have phone timeouts.
Curious. Never heard of these. Thanks.

That's a really interesting observation too. I've always preferred round dining tables for six people at home and hadn't really made the connection with the idea that it does allow for a single conversation rather than a rectangle with two rows of three people facing each other when it easily breaks into separate conversations.
I guess it depends, but I know a few folks in their late forties with kids in college. They had them in their late twenties. I wouldn't call it rare.
Insiders say fraud in NY computer programming work dates back years
Sure, maybe in his time he was right. Maybe he wasn't. But i think if you go ask parents of grade/middle/high schoolers they'd cry with joy if their children were just addicted to reading. It's fully possible that going from only ever interacting in the real world with people to sitting alone reading all day caused some problems with integration. It's also entirely possible that phones do a different kind of thing by not just dampening real world interactions, but effectively siphoning out your attention span as well (have you never felt this? Do you scroll on any of the infinite feed bullshit? If you think it doesn't obliterate your attention span, spend the first hour of every day watching tiktok and then tell me how easy it is to start work).

We all know that attention span is _required_ to get anything done academically, so directly correlated to intelligence, or at least the ability to get anything done at all. We all know that children are building their brains, and that significant experiences in childhood impact the view and life of the person far into adulthood. Ergo, do you really thing that being unable to read a single paragraph about Socrates for the future of... the world?

I simply cannot understand the pushback to such a simple and effective policy. Sure, the researchers probably have a bias. All schools aren't being made to do this, many schools implementing this are _choosing_ to, because _they_ interact with our children academically and know that the grade school generation is gonna eat rocks on any college level task because they can't stop looking at their phones, something which is easy to observe many children are _physically incapable of doing_.

Sure, maybe it's a really good time for impossibly motivated and unsocial children, i was one of them, and i can tell you that even having not grown up with it, i (almost 30) am having a hell of a time balancing needing to have snapchat to stay in contact with friends i moved away from, and getting trapped in the continuous feed the app seems to insert into more and more places. About using reddit as a scholarly resource for any question google won't help with and getting trapped in their endless feed. I know it's bad, and I'm a fully grown adult member of society, and i didn't grow up with it. And i'll tell you, i'd trade this phone shit for a book addiction in a microsecond.

What you're advocating for is a future where average attention span continuously decreases. Why do you want that? Why are you against the idea that phone might be fucking bad for us, and especially so for children? What experiences have you had with phone addiction in yourself and loved ones that gives you credibility in this topic? Genuinely asking
Acting like kids are so easily controlled. You just need the passcode if you credit card is in apple wallet, for example.
Entanglement doesn't mean information actually travels from point A to point B. Imagine it like tearing paper into 2 pieces without looking at it. Then both pieces are taken away. And then you look at the exact shape of the cut - and you know that the other piece of paper mirrors it exactly. There was no actual travel of information, you had it the whole time - you just looked at it when it was convenient. Quantum entanglement is nicer than that because it can also guarantee single usage (or the key doesn't work) but it's not a magical telecommunication channel, you still need radio/laser/...
How do you know you're not interested in it when you don't know what it is?
Michael Lewis wrote a book called Flashboys all about it. If your network speed and processing power are faster than the competitors, then you can move faster than them on any trade. Really interesting stuff
We got phones for our kids primarily to keep in touch when they are away, especially when they have after school sports, at work (yes, even at 14 they can have gainful employment opportunities like reffing soccer). It would be great if the "smart" phone had a true "dumb" mode where the phone basically becomes a Nokia Blue vintage talk / text device. Not an app you have to install, but something that is part of the OS which I, as the parent, can control.
Why would my credit card be in their Apple Wallet?
I dont get the idea of a family. We should fund a more stable foundation.
Let's imagine a bustling farmer's market where market makers are savvy fruit stand owners, and regular traders are shoppers. Here's how the market makers might "front run" orders to make arbitrage profits:

## The Fruit Stand Scenario

Imagine you're at a large farmer's market with numerous fruit stands. You're looking to buy a crate of apples, and you ask a friendly fruit stand owner, Citadel, for the price.

*The Setup:*
- You want to buy a crate of apples
- Citadel’s stand is selling apples for $50 per crate
- There's another stand nearby selling for $48, but it's not immediately visible

*The Front-Running Process:*

1. *Information Advantage:*
Citadel, being a regular at the market, knows about the nearby stand selling apples for $48.

2. *Customer's Intent:*
When you ask Citadel for the price, they realizes you're likely to buy a crate.

3. *Quick Action:*
Before quoting you a price, Citadel quickly sends his assistant to buy a crate from the $48 stand.

4. *Price Quote:*
Citadel then tells you his price is $50 per crate, which you accept.

5. *Fulfillment:*
Citadel’s assistant returns with the $48 crate, which Citadel then sells to you for $50.

6. *Profit:*
Citadel pockets the $2 difference as profit, without ever risking his own inventory.

## The Market Making Parallel

In the financial markets, this process happens at lightning speed:

1. Market makers see incoming orders before they're fully processed.

2. They quickly buy or sell ahead of large orders on other exchanges.

3. They then fulfill the original order at a slightly worse price.

4. The profit comes from the price difference between exchanges.

This practice, while controversial, is often justified by market makers as providing liquidity and tighter spreads. However, it can be seen as unfair to traders who may not get the best possible price for their orders.
> Unlike tokenization, BLT has no fixed
vocabulary for patches.

iiuc this means: the vocabulary of patches is not known prior to training.

I guess once training has established a vocabulary of patches, that same fixed vocabulary is used for inference (if this is not true I don't see how it could work).

Right?
> unless of course you tautologically define entropy as the amount of work the experimenter/humanity can extract from the system

Do you have a different definition? (By the way the entropy is the energy that _cannot_ be extracted as work.) The entropy of the system is a function of the particular choice of state variables - those that the experimenters can manipulate and use to extract work. It’s not a property of the system on its own. There is no “true” entropy anymore that there is a “true” set of state variables for the “true” macroscopic (incomplete) description of the system. If there was a true limiting value for the entropy it would be zero - corresponding to the case where the system is described using every microscopic variable and every degree of freedom could be manipulated.
Naturally, this comment is flagged. Naturally, without explanation, as is the practice of dystopian wankers.
Show HN: DiaScore – Helping Diabetics Understand Their Food Better
Hi HN Community,

We've built DiaScore to help diabetics and prediabetics like myself make more informed food choices.

It gives a simple score (0-100) for how diabetic-friendly a food is, with a breakdown of key nutritional factors like carbs, sugars, and fiber.

Current Status :
It's primarily optimized for mobile web experience, so there are going to be some rough edges visually on desktop. The food search is still something we are figuring out, but we rely on 3rd party data more or less.

Goal :
We are trying to see if users find the prototype useful and want to get as much feedback as possible so that we can think about future iterations.

Would love your feedback! Try it here: https://diascore.app

Thank you for your time and feedback! Appreciate it.

Comments so far are sort of singling out the "negatives" i.e. make it seem like 40yo just don't want to put in the time anymore (for one reason or another) but the article also mentions stuff like:

- At 40+ you're more judicious about where you put your energy

- In your 40s, you have some accumulated wisdom: you recognize patterns faster and are more willing to change course

Do I have the blind faith to grind it out 5+ years in a stagnating startup on an off chance it might take off someday - especially if I've done that before? Looking for a better way is not always a bad thing. On another hand - my 20yo self wouldn't have believed my 40yo self - some things you just have to live through.
Filed under "Kids these days"
I was going to say something similar.

Google's mission statement is to "organize the world's information", and the only thing stopping them is when they run into copyright laws or paywalls.

OpenAI (and indeed all the LLM providers) has gone almost as far as it can usefully go with bigger training sets, even without literally everything on the web, and now try to make the models smarter in other ways.

(OpenAI may also lose their current copyright lawsuits because laws don't care that both an LLM and PageRank are big matrix multiplications, they care about the impact on rights holders).
It's not really "AI hardware", it's just HPC on a slightly smaller scale than the traditional sort. And it's still going to be useful for plenty of workloads regardless of the current AI frenzy.
Point is that things happen if you are not super careful. They could use your phone, you could have forgotten about it, etc etc. Not everyone is some carefully planning nerd who remembers everything all the time.

I see several comments coming down hard on this man's suggestion that 60 is unusually old to be starting a business, but keep in mind that he comes from a different culture than you.

In my culture, as well as that of the critics, we agree that 60 is not old, and it's also quite normal to be starting a business at such an age. But his culture, which makes berth in Bengaluru, India, obviously has different expectations regarding age, and so that's why it's unusual (but elating) to see his father do this at such an age.

Just remember that, and cut him some slack.

Two things come to mind… my work and my involvement with FIRST robotics.

I’m the Director of IT Operations for a contract research organization (CRO). While that might not sound inherently interesting it’s deeply fulfilling. My role involves building and maintaining software that help facilitate critical research for NIH and NCI, often supporting breakthroughs in healthcare and science. I love the intersection of technology, problem-solving, and enabling teams to deliver life-changing results by helping change the standard of care for people affected by cancer.

Outside of work, I’m heavily involved with FIRST robotics, which is a worldwide competitive robotics program for high school age students. It’s an amazing initiative where students design, build, and program robots to compete in team-based challenges. And it’s very fun. I mentor students, guiding them through the technical challenges we come up against and help them discover their own potential. Watching young minds light up is very rewarding. Being a small part of that community is one of the most rewarding things I do.
This is the post that drew my attention to it: https://bsky.app/profile/chrisshort.net/post/3ldcd5ou73t2g

It's not phones or tablets. It's the wrong doing apps / social netwrks / games. Same applies to friends: there are friend circles that bring only bad behaviors. We don't ban friendship because of that.
Ban social network apps. Ban addictive games. Ban notifications and any other FOMO-triggering mechanisms. Don't ban phones.
Obviously it's the apps. If you would give all kids phones that could only call and play snake they wouldn't be so engaged with it all the time.

Most modern social media apps are now redesigned to allow for endless doomscrolling. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram all allow to scroll through content fed to you by an algorithm without even being able to preview the next video. It just slams it in your face.

It's extremely addictive and imo harmful. It ruins attention spans, it ruins social development and it causes insecurities.

I am in favor of banning smartphones in schools. I have seen what these apps do to people only a few years younger than me and it's just depressing.
Thought of a solution. Rather than treating models as interchangeable, consider grouping by model (and then perhaps grouping models by category). If people know how a particular item of clothing fits on them, and how it fits on the model, they can generalise to how other clothes might fit on the model vs on them.

Like old-school media reviews: not everyone agrees with Roger Ebert's film criticism, but after reading his reviews of films they've watched, most people can read a review of his and have a reasonable idea what they will think of the film.
This is the same argument people make for not banning guns, and it's a bad argument there too.
I'm not American, btw
I don’t see the problem here, if you remove the metadata from the image you are left with a very bland ChatGPT description of the image that sounds like a fifth grader trying to hit a minimum word count on an essay. Even if a photo service did this with every single image I have on my phone right now I don’t care.

This is just another attempt to shoehorn AI into absolutely anything
You just went to where 99% of parents don't even know how to get to. Do you think it should be expected of parents to figure out how to use whatever "PiHole" is to protect their kids?

I admire your personal dedication to making it as hard as possible to be exploited, but we really can't expect non-tech people to go to the same lengths. And at one point, we might have to admit that parents who spend 99% of their time struggling to even get by and do the basics for their kids need schools and other resources to help out by doing things such as banning phones.
