What is your usage of Dart?

JavaScript is a target platform for Dart. The Dart interop story is the point. It’s a cohesive glue language. First class interop with JavaScript, Java/Kotlin, C++ and Swift/ObjC. Community interop supports go and rust.

Maybe I am confused. We are comparing Dart to what again? Yes, Flutter is what Dart is known for and it’s, imho, important for their to be primary customer to drive evolution of language.

I don’t do JavaScript development but anytime I bump into it it’s a cluster with regards to tooling (maybe this has changed in the past 3 years). Dart comes ootb with tooling that is a cohesive experience. The technology is impressive and I think it’s filling a niche.

Dart reminds me of Python 20 years ago. Python shipped with IDLE, glued platform (win32com), corba, java, etc features together.

Dart is doing similar stuff but first class interop from the supplier (Google/dart team) for the platforms (js/wasm, mobile, desktop). It is pretty damn amazing and ambitious (maybe too ambitious?). And pub/package system is nice - dart is statically compiled and Google is one of the main innovators in software supply chain security - I think there is real possibility of it being orders of magnitude more secure than python/javascript. (This is not the case currently)

I guess I see it as a “I can stay in this world and do most of what I need”. Are there sharp edges? Yes. But the tooling and the community can resolve this fairly quickly. I don’t need to jump between abuncha languages with tooling disparaties.
So, the Flair 58 is their 'highest end' model and sports a 58mm portafilter... this thing is a 51mm portafilter which is basically only used on smaller portable machines. Also, it's listed on their website for $580. Not sure how you get to 600+ (unless you include tax, I guess).

A more comparable model from Flair would be either the Pro 3 ($325, all metal in the grouphead, pressure gauge, shot mirror... lots of included accessories) or the cheaper models they offer (Classic w/ pressure gauge, $230, Neo Flex, $99).

If you wanted to compare to the Cafelat Robot, that is also only $450... and is all metal, built like a tank, and has a very charming aesthetic.

I found this part of Koolhaas's quote quite interesting:

"Convergence is possible only at the price of shedding identity. That is usually seen as a loss. But at the scale at which it occurs it must mean something. What are the disadvantages of identity, and conversely, what are the advantages of blankness?"

The question doesn't need an answer, it's just the exploration of the idea without judgement that I find interesting.
i like this, a lot.

i asked a subjective history question about England and Ithy's analysis was great, and did indeed add to other GPTs!

i did find the UI a bit confusing at first, that's my only nitpick. i signed in (nice easy flow) and will definitely continue to use!

looks like anthropic is slowing down ithy analysis/responses, at least today during my tests just now anyway.

great app! well done o7

Ok, maybe I still don’t agree with arresting her, but I feel like maybe the headline should actually point out she said “ you people are next”. Which seems the more threatening part of the threat.
Maybe the title buried the lede a bit.

Some of BuzzFeed’s investigative journalism was genuinely good. Hot Ones was also great. What they’re doing is divesting themselves of this to focus on spewing gen AI listicles solely to act as bait for their own programmatic ad platform.

It’s a definite step down.
Seems like a ongoing trend where wealthy AI companies ignore copyright and try to settle outside court using money they raised from the hype created using said copyrighted material.

A lot of negativity in these comments. I find this analysis of claude.ai use cases helpful — many people, myself included, are trying to figure out what real people find LLMs useful for, and now we know a little more about that.

Coding use cases making up 23.8% of usage indicates that we're still quite early on the adoption curve. I wonder if ChatGPT's numbers also skew this heavily towards devs, who make up only ~2.5% of the [American] workforce.

There's an easy solution to this that the Federal Employee Program (aka FEP) [0] uses -- regular, external accuracy audits.

The relevant metric to customers isn't "What percentage of claims are denied?" given the substantial amounts of medical claim fraud.

It's "What percentage of claims are denied... that should have been approved?"

So you regularly audit a random sampling of denials, publish the results of that audit transparently, and provide a financial incentive for insurers to keep their numbers below a certain threshold.

It's worked pretty well for FEP -- to the extent that FEP insurers typically have segregated operations from the rest of the company and do much better on denial accuracy and other metrics.

The standard library concurrency primitives are still too low-level for a lot of general purpose concurrency needs. IMO, the minimum level of abstraction that you should start with for many apps is a thread-safe queue that dispatches messages with immutable data to one or more worker threads (e.g. actor-like model). You can go lower-level, but it needs to be deliberately chosen.
Indeed. Rural areas have always been neglected due to The economic realities. It's just very expensive to build and maintain infrastructure out here to less dense populations, and realistically The big earners who could afford to pay high rates are all in the city. There are sometimes requirements forcing providers to deliver some service, but they will always do the bare minimum because there is just much more money to be made in the denser areas. Starlink is the first time where the script is being flipped somewhat. Starlink works better with less density. It is also delivering reliable and excellent service. I have been using starlink since it was very first available, and it has really been life-changing.

You might want to specify the location, expectations, your current team size ... etc.

Positive things:

- Checking your npm and GitLab, you already have downloads (8k+/month).

- Open Source (for the free version).

A few things to improve:

- No social links; for example, I couldn't find any trace of your company on LinkedIn.

- Your company name does not show in the UK Companies House search.

Good luck!

I’m in the Dominican Republic, and moka pots are 99 percent of the market here as well. Everyone warns me about moka pots exploding, but I’ve never met anyone (15 years here now) that knows of one first hand that actually exploded.

But everyone is terrified of mokasplosion.

I think the examples on the home page and in the "getting started" answer these questions to be honest. Do you feel it's unclear or something is missing?

> How is it difference / how does it improve on / when should I use it instead of / ... lodash, ramda, functional.js, RxJs, etc.?

I think some of that info is implicitly there in the docs, but I think this is good feedback. I should probably have a page comparing lfi vs other libraries.

To answer here though, for most of the libraries you mentioned, they don't provide support for _concurrent_ async iteration (and some of them don't support even sequential async iteration).

RxJS is the exception there I think. Although, I think lfi has a bit of a simpler API (that also matches the sync versions of the APIs) that's primarily designed for iteration rather than generalized observables. Plus, I don't _think_ RxJS has the same performance characteristics around tree-shakeability.
I come back to it from time to time and play for a week. It looks like it's been getting more accessible over time, with a new UI update having been rolled out recently.

There's definitely a certain mindset that helps make it more enjoyable. Imagination being key! From the technical side, the developers have peeled back the curtain on how they've created parts of the game:

Yes, I'm familiar with exactly how small an atom is.

Identifying a single lead atom, and measuring harm caused by ingesting a single lead atom, are beyond the capability of our tools at the moment.

You can form a hypothesis that one atom would cause no harm, I can form one otherwise, but until we're able to quantify that then these are just hypotheses.

Among lead levels we are able to detect and measure the quantity of, there's no known safe level. And there very well may be points below which the harm caused, is so small that it's some people consider it an acceptable risk, as with your airplane and radiation example.
The best analogy for the feeling I got when reading this is visiting someone at his house and the first thing he says is „BTW, don’t take any of my stuff, that’s stealing!“. Sure, but can I take of my shoes first?

I am sure they have very good reasons to keep working on this issue. That's why I started my comment with "in general".
Yeah, that's true.

I think it just has completely different goals. Read through the home page examples and getting started and you'll see it's pretty different.
Cryptanalysis relies on deep conjectural heuristics in analytic number theory. These conjectures becoming theorems wouldn't affect cryptanalysis at all, because their validity is already baked in. If, however, any of these conjectures turn out to be false, there would be ramifications.

> No one ITT is saying what the thing that replaced LangChain is.

LangChain never solved a real problem to begin with, so there's nothing that needs to be replaced.

Just write your own Python code that does the same thing that LangChain needs 10 layers of abstraction to do.
Ask HN: Advice for bootstraping an Open Source project with NFT based funding
Short:
We want to lift software licensing to the Crypto level and enable all developers to generate NFTs for their developments. This would scale blockchain adoption to the next level.

What: Developing a Smart Contract solution for Software Licensing called Open Token Compensation License (OCTL - https://license-token.com) .

Goal: Developers getting paid in Crypto when their projects are applied commercially. Revenue sharing via blockchain between developers transparent possible.
Version V1 is coded and interested projects are onboarded.

Funding:
Printed an NFT jigsaw puzzle with unique 9750 pieces for funding the further development of the project. Used the smart contract code text and the text of the license.

Advice needed:
How do we market the NFTs to secure the funding.

How do we sell funding NFTs. All Tips and recommendations welcome.
Paul Romer of the New York Stern School of Business has talked about the crisis of identifiability[1] which makes most macroeconomics non-falsifiable and completely isolates economists from ever being wrong in their theories. He's likened this to the crisis with string theory in physics.

It's possible that the secure rng incorporates observed entropy; there might not be enough entropy available when you need it, if secure is made the default and therefore used unnecessarily.

>I think there should be a (optional) storage container integrated where the ground coffee goes.

There is a little cup that fits right below the grinder, or do you mean something else?

>I would expect a $749 grinder work with any coffee beans.

I totally get this, and I definitely want to make a burr set that works with everything. The reason these don't is essentially because these burrs are designed for something called densification - it's where particles are gradually rounded and amalgamated as they are mixed and tumbled. The cutting path for most grinders on the market today is too short for to see much of this, so it definitely sets this grinder apart in terms of flavor profile and even how the grounds look. The downside is that sticky and oily particles resist that process and expand and start to clog up the bottom of the burr when grinding finely. When grinding for filter, it's fine, but with espresso can require some routine cleanings.
Wipe a tiny amount of Grice’s Razor over the post and you should inevitably reach a grossly different interpretation. TLDR “where is our digital Robin Hood?”
> Advice needed: How do we market the NFTs to secure the funding.

You don't. All developers I know are both satisfied with their current licenses and convinced all cryptocurrency is a scam. You cannot penetrate this market because you are not solving anything and have no legal precedent to promote.
"To build a city around Texas Starbase! Insanity. But where else could we be free from the clutching hand of the Parasites? Where else could we build an economy that they would not try to control, a society that they would not try to destroy? It was not impossible to build Xstan around Texas Starbase. It was impossible to build it anywhere else."
I agree that part of the quote is critical. That said, I assert that an arrest and $100k bond is a sharp overreaction against someone who objectively poses no actual threat.

For story context, I'll add that Lakeland is in Polk county, the domain of Sheriff Grady Judd. Polk is notorious for performative law enforcement and prosecution. To that, Lakeland police dept adds it's own rich history of over-enforcement.

That is a good idea. Makes books more fun
>critiques mainly limited to the domain they have experience in i.e. the website.

They are giving actionable advice on how to convert more sales. That's the whole point of Show HN, and helpful to the author.

When a bunch of people with experience in a domain tell you that you can vastly improve something in that domain, it's generally a good idea to listen and consider their critique instead of calling them "keyboard ticklers".
This is really cool, quite a shame it costs 20 billion dollars per query lol.

Bulk ordered, that is probably a ~$50k laser. Not nothing, but on the scale of medical device costs, not terrible.
I think there are two things the library makes easier than what you're suggesting:

- Some people like/prefer writing iteration in a functional style, which this library enables

- It's pretty easy to create unintentional async/concurrency bottlenecks with the simple `Promise.all` approach (see the home page example)
You are right, but what you call "lock free" is not the same as many other things that are called "lock free", even if indeed a ringbuffer needs no locks, so this may be confusing for newbies.

I strongly dislike the term "lock free", which is really just a marketing term invented by people trying to promote the idea that some algorithms are better than those "lock-based", when in fact those "lock-free" algorithms were only choosing a different trade-off in performance, which can be better or worse, depending on the application.

Even worse is that after the term "lock free" has become fashionable, it has also been applied to unrelated algorithms, so now it has become ambiguous, so you cannot know for sure what is meant by it, unless more details are provided.

When accessing shared data structures, the accesses are most frequently done in one of three ways.

The first is to use mutual exclusion, when the shared data structure is accessed within critical sections and only one thread can execute the critical section at a given time. This method is usually called as lock-based access.

The second is to use optimistic access, when the shared data structure is accessed concurrently by many threads, but they are able to detect interference from the other concurrent accesses and they retry their accesses in such cases. This is what is most frequently referred as "lock free" access. Compared to mutual exclusion, this access method may be faster in the best cases, but it is much slower in the worst cases, so whether this is a good choice depends on the application.

The third method happens when it is possible to partition the shared resource between the threads that access it concurrently, so their concurrent accesses can proceed without fear of interference. This partitioning is usually possible for arrays and for buffers a.k.a. FIFO memories a.k.a. message queues (including one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many message queues).

So your "lock free ringbuffer" refers to the third method from above, which is very different from the "lock free" algorithms of the second kind from above.

Whenever concurrent access to partitioned shared resources is possible, it is much better than accesses with mutual exclusion or optimistic accesses, which require either waiting or retrying, both of which are wasting CPU time.

Therefore using correctly-implemented message queues or other kinds of shared buffers is usually the best method to achieve high levels of concurrency, in comparison with other kinds of shared data structures, because it avoids the bottlenecks caused by mutual exclusion or optimistic accesses.
They use Mazzer burrs, a classic!

Don't think remapping a keyboard shortcut would be that hard? Also if you're using alt + space for a third party spotlight alternative, wouldn't it automatically override the copilot shortcut?

Yeah, the main references I found to IVR systems and REXX were from IBM articles discussing IVR, and some open-source Asterisk-based systems using ooRexx that appear to have been created as an open-source alternative to IBM OS/2 IVR solutions that used REXX.

OS/2 is the primary environment where I had experience reading and writing REXX a long time ago. I was also aware of it being used in IBM mainframe systems, but I had no direct experience there.
Anecdotally, when I say I am thinking in English or Spanish, I’m not usually thinking in words, more in a cultural context and in concepts that are not symbolically articulated. Some of those concepts only exist (to me) in one cultural context or another and not in both. Basically wherever I learned something is where it “lives” in my mind. I can know “of” it in another context, but to think about it directly, in the first person, I need to “enter” the context in which it was acquired.

That’s why I can’t even -think- about math in Spanish, it just doesn’t work for me. I never learned mathematical concepts inside of that thought context.

And when I think of some people inside of English context, I can’t remember what it feels like to talk to them.

When I am tired I sometimes slip between contexts without knowing and cannot easily discern what language I am speaking or listening to.

I find it absolutely fascinating. It seems like there might be some insight to be had studying the phenomenon in people that experience it.
We actually did, it's a solved problem.
