"..why on earth wouldn’t YouTube want people to click over to its app?

The short answer is money. Somewhat straightforwardly, YouTube has chosen to degrade the user experience of the embedded player publishers like Vox Media use, and the only way to get that link back is by using a slightly different player that pays us less and YouTube more."
No disagreement here, just pointing out that it's also possible to do with existing tools.
I hope that Llama 4 or 5 will have a different architecture. All released llamas are +/- same inference with a better training pipeline. The downside is that llamacpp will probably not be able to run new models and maybe it will be too much big rewrite, so we will need new c,cpp,go,rust programs.
Somewhat tangential but I've found Claude 3.5 to be ridiculously good at doing this kind of prototyping with React, and you get the preview immediately in the artifact pane to the right of the chat. Mind you I don't ever use React (I'm writing a desktop app in Rust), so I'm probably as unbiased an audience as it gets.

Here are a couple of examples of things people asked for help with and I just iterated with Claude for 5-10 minutes on (code upfront and gif demo at the bottom):

https://gist.github.com/airstrike/e0e47eaab733277b537923c4d3...

I think given the sheer amount of training data on React, these models tend to really hit it out of the park when they are allowed to use it. Part of me thinks the best approach is to have it model in React first and then translate it to whatever other language/framework you need it in
No, they are correct - that is generally what happens when people compare historic life expectancy rates to modern times.

And, people are using 'lifespan' and 'life expectancy' as if they were interchangeable (they're different things).

Your Wikipedia source states up front that the linked research is old and questionable, with the cited paper dating back over 50 years. More recent research, some of it linked here [0], does indeed point to a significantly longer life expectancy.

No idea why Wikipedia is using incorrect 55 yo data for this one; but it does help to prove OP's point further.

Synthetic datasets are useless (other than for very specific purposes, such as enforcing known strong priors, and even then it's way better to do it directly by changing the architecture). You're better off spending that compute by making multiple passes over the data you do have.
COM requires you to interact with the files through the associated MS Office applications, whereas these libs parse the ooxml file format directly.
"Rock's law or Moore's second law, named for Arthur Rock or Gordon Moore, says that the cost of a semiconductor chip fabrication plant doubles every four years. As of 2015, the price had reached about 14 billion US dollars."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_second_law

It seems likely that we're relatively close to the point where it will no longer be economical to push the limits here. It's unlikely that even the entire world working together would want to spend more than $1T for a single fab, which Rock's law suggests is less than 20 years away.
Gruesome, maybe they are taking too much pleasure in being so graphic. Should tone it down.

> training on copyrighted data without a similar licensing agreement is also a type of market harm, because it deprives the copyright holder of a source of revenue

I would respond to this by

1. authors don't actually get revenue from royalties, instead it's all about add revenue which leads to enshittification. If they were to live on royalties they would die of hunger, artists, copywriters and musicians.

2. copyright is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies and don't really benefit the authors or the readers

3. actually the competition to new creative works is not AI, but old creative works that have been accumulating for 25 years on the web

I don't think restrictive copyright is what we need. Instead we have seen people migrate from passive consumption to interactivity, we now prefer games, social networks and search engines to TV, press and radio. Can't turn this trend back, it was created by the internet. We have now wikipedia, github, linux, open source, public domain, open scientific publications and non-restrictive environments for sharing and commenting.

If we were to take the idea of protecting copyrights to the extreme, it would mean we need to protect abstract ideas not just expression, because generative AI can easily route around that. But if we protected abstractions from reuse, it would be a disaster for creativity. I just think copyright is a dead man walking at this point.
The single most important skill that can be taught in school is autodidactics, learning to learn independently. That can be taught just as well with everyone in the same classroom as otherwise, because it is not done by lecturing the class as a whole, or otherwise teaching the same content to the whole group at the same time. That's the mistake this experiment made and why it failed. It is done by requiring and allowing each student to pursue their own study at their own pace. That is, by replacing the regimented assembly line Prussian model of education with a model of individuals breaking their own paths through trial and error.

This is not a new model but the default of the old one-room schoolhouse, where the toddler learning to read sat next to the teenager learning to read Latin. In this model the teacher's job isn't to directly implant knowledge into the students' neural nets, it is to guide them to the correct trail head when they are ready for it, and nudge them back on track as needed. Doing this for each of thirty kids is harder than making one lesson plan for the same group and insisting that they work in synchrony. So it can take more teachers per student to do well and looks inefficient to the Prussian, until you examine the results. Particularly the results of the most capable students who would otherwise be paralyzed and repulsed by boredom. But also of the least capable who would otherwise learn little unless the whole class is taught to the least common denominator.

The whole plan for most of the AI sycophants is to earn a trillion dollars off of selling AI, and whatever happens to the plebs is an afterthought (really, not a thought at all).

Usually, the Dark Reader failure mode is that things look a bit off and you can tell that something is not working, which tells you as a user that you might have to disable it.

In this case, there simply was nothing shown for the affected experiments, which is somewhat unusual, and it took me a second to even realize it might be Dark Reader. I thought that could be useful feedback for the developer.
Ask HN: Why aren't cost-minded SME/startups using Linux on laptops even now?
Now that there are already so many Linux distros that offer a very good user-experience even for the most non-tech users, why is it that a large number of cost-minded SMEs/startups/mid-sized-banks (even in price sensitive markets like India/Indonesia/Vietnam/Philippines/LatAm) still _not_ using Linux on laptops despite the opportunity?

Is it lack of awareness about options?
Is it plain lethargy/fear?
Is it just the sweet deals offered by other ecosystems?

What could be the reason for this situation? Please share your thoughts.

Years ago, few startups in India offered a customized Linux distro targeting SMEs/startups/mid-sized-banks where most users are non-tech users. They could not grow. There are many orgs that use point-of-sale systems that run on Linux (uses a SaaS through a browser; MedPlus is an example) but many others haven't ventured to realize the enormous cost savings.

Is it sheer lethargy stopping them, or it is something else?

Please share your thoughts/comments/inputs.

I’m not going to lie, algebra wasn’t my cup of tea for a long time. Whenever you have a naive set of people commenting on a thread, my theory is that there is a category of folks who always take it too far leading to people feeling left out. An excluded middle if you will. I say education is at the root of the problem, and blame the state machine for that.

I can’t help feeling it just makes me tensor.
Uh, health insurers in the US do actually ration care. You can consult the seething masses for the care denied to themselves or loved ones by your free market paragon. Besides, the article isn’t even advocating socialized healthcare.

Unfortunately (IMO), `core.match` in Clojure is a macro provided by a library you have to install, rather than a builtin function as in Scala or Python.

It’s a really cool demonstration of the power of lisps, since macros basically let you edit the code at compile time, rather than at runtime, and match is maybe the most extreme example of this as it’s really compiling down the match statement into completely different code, rather than treating it like a cond statement (more info on the match algorithm here: https://github.com/clojure/core.match/wiki/Understanding-the...).

However, when using macros there’s always some trade-offs — for example, you usually can’t treat them as a first class function, passing them around (although I’m not sure if that’s true for core.match tbf). Additionally, they can be confusing to debug because the code that you’re writing doesn’t match the code that’s actually being run… stack traces can be particularly weird.

Finally, by not being a builtin, it doesn’t really feel blessed as a language feature, and if it’s a choice between case, condp, or cond, I’m going to reach for one of those before core.match, simply because I don’t have to add a new library, I can be sure that I’ll understand the stack traces, and most importantly I can be sure that others will understand the code better. The fact that destructuring is built into Clojure means that you can get sort of half of the use cases for match in the first place, so it ends up being quite rare when you’ll actually reach for it.

I’m not sure exactly what Dustin was referring to exactly, but those are my gripes with it. I think it’s a shame, because `match` is a more powerful construct every time I’ve encountered it in other languages, and it’s one of the few things I really miss as a built in part of Clojure.

What do you check first in PR review? Help shape our AI Code review tool
A few weeks ago, I shared LlamaPReview (an AI PR reviewer) here on HN and received great feedback [1]. Now I'm trying to understand how experienced developers prioritize different aspects of code review to make the tool more effective.

When you open a PR, what's the first thing you check? Is it:

- Overview & Architecture Changes
- Detailed Technical Analysis
- Critical Findings & Issues
- Security Concerns
- Testing Coverage
- Documentation
- Deployment Impact

I've set up a quick poll here: https://github.com/JetXu-LLM/LlamaPReview-site/discussions/9

Current results show an interesting split between "Detailed Technical Analysis" and "Critical Findings", but I'd love to hear HN's perspective:

1. What makes you trust/distrust a PR at first glance?
2. How do you balance between architectural concerns and implementation details?
3. What information do you wish was always prominently displayed?

Your insights will directly influence how we structure AI Code Review to match real developers' thought processes.

I don't think there's a "unified 'they'" in the sense of, say, there being a Stamp Out Critical Thinking Council with meetings Tuesdays and Thursdays. But I do think that people who rise through power systems while seeking control are going to be averse to critical thinking in their underlings and their social lessers. I think that's in part because most systems like that select for that kind of person, but also because it's in both their personal interest and that of the system they've hitched themselves to.

So the "they" here isn't a unified, coordinated group. But you'll rarely find those in structural problems. But there is a "they" in the sense that we can define a set of people who will act to oppose critical thinking either through direct self interest or class interest.

> once they made sure I wasn't dying I was thrown out into the waiting room and 6 hours later I said f*ck it and went home.

Have you been to an "emergency" room in the US? The ones I'm familiar with have those same kind of waiting times. Our healthcare system basically has both the worst aspects of "government" (extremely bureaucratized, top-down command, and no market dynamics) plus the worst aspects of "private" (profit skimming and no democratic accountability).

Personally I think we need to start with reform focused on the provider side - like why the fuck can providers just send you a bevy of bills with fraudulent charges, making it your responsibility to sort out? In any other industry, that would be considered plain fraud. But this doesn't mean I'm going to shout down other people's ideas of where they think reform should start by bringing up failures from other systems as some imagined contrast where our system is at all effective.

When I was a full-time IT industry analyst, one of the things that regularly annoyed me was overly large tables at dinner. A lot of factors were in play including the fact that many analysts felt very strongly about being at a table with the "important people" (tm) in the room. But if you were at even a round table seating 8+ people, it meant in practice you only talked with a few people who were reasonably adjacent.

I would say a 4-6 person table is about the largest where everyone can be talking with all the other people.
Electricity probably had niche uses for the first few years but as electrical stuff got better it got used in all sorts of things. I imagine AI will go a bit like that if quicker.

Looking back at the history of electricity, there is early stuff from the Greeks and then:

Faraday's homopolar disc generator 1831

Light bulb 1870

Transistor 1947

etc. So quite leisurely.
Fear not, the brain is a muscle and you can develop the strength to beat up the bouncer and force your way in to that club.

Building on the idea, I think movies probably stimulate the same sense, except compared to books they do most of the imagining for you.

Some say audio books are a cop out, but they can really carry you through a story you wouldn't be able to finish otherwise. And as the saying goes, anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

But really there are no roolz. It comes down to doing what you enjoy. Try to find fiction that plays to your interests and lean into it, see where it goes.

I'm going to push back on "produce reasonable code".

I've seen reasonable code written by AI, and also code that looks reasonable but contains bugs and logic errors that can be found if you're an expert in that type of code.

ROI is very much a business term of art. And that's how it's mostly used here in this little venture-capital supported niche.

I agree one can broaden it to mean something much vaguer, using it metaphorically. But A) I think we at least have to explicitly distinguish that, and B) I think casting societal questions in business terms is a perilously wrong frame, one easily leading to all sorts of errors of thought, ones that have negative social implications.

Just as an example, we could take Elon Musk's recent swipe at funding to fight homelessness. There he uses a common business framing and ends up with some conclusions that are deranged from the point of view of people actually working on the problem. Which wouldn't matter much if he were some random internet commenter, but here his error could have a significant body count.
What kind did you end up getting?
Apple owns 10% of the market, but around 90% of all computers above 1000$. They make around 7.5 billions in Mac revenue per quarter, which makes them the most profitable computer company.

Apple controls the high margin market. That has royally screwed Intel, which explains in part the woes its in right now; it lost the only high margin computer maker.
I disagree, deadbabe.
It also depends on the people a lot. There are at least two types of people who are tiring to be around:

1. The one who is very slow to get to the point. At around 10 second mark you can see where the story is going, but still you have to sit there for several minutes listening the person get there.

2. The one who has endless amount of stories about themselves. Initially you think it's interesting and entertaining, but soon it dawns on you that the stories are actually boring and waste your time. Typically people like this have developed a sense that people don't like to listen to them, and have excellent defenses against all attempts to shut them down politely.
