Big life events are always worth a visit if you get invited, and you always learn something from the mix of people who attend. Whether it's a funeral, wedding, baptism, and so on.

Does this person have friends from childhood? Do his friends come from the same place, or all sorts of places? Do they know each other, or does he have a lot of singletons there?

Who considers themselves close family? Second cousins? Or did their cousins not even come?

They do. Like I know for a fact that I get different content in different cities. But it's algorithmic. I don't think anyone at TikTok is saying let's manipulate specific locations. They don't need to and it would be too risky and not worth the tech debt tbh. Besides, you can do it as a third party with bots.

So like whatever replaces it will get manipulated just the same. Facebook has had this problem for over a decade now and nobody's solved it. Let's just admit that national governments are stupid.

Your description aptly describes a recent Elon Musk spat on twitter regarding F-35s / radar-stealthyness being irrelevant in the age of "low light cameras and AI".

> CPU-only custom 2D pixel blitter engine I wrote to make 2D games in styles practically impossible with modern GPU-based texture rendering engines

I’m curious what’s so special about that blitting?

BTW, pixel shaders in D3D11 can receive screen-space pixel coordinates in SV_Position semantic. The pixel shader can cast .xy slice of that value from float2 to int2 (truncating towards 0), offset the int2 vector to be relative to the top-left of the sprite, then pass the integers into Texture2D.Load method.

Unlike the more commonly used Texture2D.Sample, Texture2D.Load method delivers a single texel as stored in the texture i.e. no filtering, sampling or interpolations. The texel is identified by integer coordinates, as opposed to UV floats for the Sample method.
Another question: are you suggesting that the United States isn't a democracy today?

The person I was replying to stated that the US was stagnating. One of my counter examples was the fact that we cured a disease that was genetic and previously considered incurable, via our innovation.

What your describing is a problem but it’s not one of innovation, it a problem of wealth distribution which I also highlighted
What's your argument? Surely you know that whether that's a reasonable position depends on what "this thing" is.

If "this thing" is a business model that puts money in an account and then makes the money expire, I think it should be illegal just like gift card expiration often is.

There's no reason to prefer consumer pressure against predatory practices. And their business would run just fine without that aspect. It's not important to their overall business model.

Yes, with the internet, I've read more, learned more than it would have ever been possible without the internet. But with LLMs, I fear the part of our brain that performs reasoning/critical thinking will diminish. Just look at all those who fell for flat-earth, alien cow abductions, anti-vax, etc.
I don’t see how some nebulous speculation about the influence of ideas that could then potentially lead to a bad outcome is a relevant conversation when we’re actively perpetually destroying ourselves from within on a daily basis no.
Do the right thing even when you really don't want to is a valuable lesson, but I'm not sure I believe that the right thing to do is attend funerals for people who you were not actually close to. It feels extremely insincere.
This is kind of stupid, even if you're not pro-EV. There are some military situations where an EV logistically and operationally makes sense, by virtue of not having a noisy fire hazard as a power train. Even the navy seals used to have (might still have) a recon vehicle that was electric because it allowed them to be quiet.

As the plethora of startup kits and re-configurations show, it's also not something people can agree what the right thing (TM) is.
You'd need to figure out an embedding for the seaweed.
Not anytime soon as in 50? 100 years? 4090 is on 5nm node, how about you first demonstrate its possible on something 100x bigger? For example Intel started locking CPU multipliers in Pentium manufactured in 0.8 μm (800 nm), unlock that fuse :)
> Introduce rules so hard to comply with that only big tech will be able to comply

When intentional, this is Regulatory Capture. Per https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/regulatory-capture.asp :

> Regulation inherently tends to raise the cost of entry into a regulated market because new entrants have to bear not just the costs of entering the market but also of complying with the regulations. Oftentimes regulations explicitly impose barriers to entry, such as licenses, permits, and certificates of need, without which one may not legally operate in a market or industry. Incumbent firms may even receive legacy consideration by regulators, meaning that only new entrants are subject to certain regulations.

A system with no regulation can be equally bad for consumers, though; there's a fine line between too little and too much regulation. The devil, as always, is in the details.
>Never in the history of mankind have people starved quietly.

It’s more like never in the history of mankind have a group of people capable of wielding power starved quietly. Yelling on the internet doesn’t do shit.

Seems like they caught up because I have posted this before including in chatGPT. All that means is you have to change it up slightly.

Unfortunately “change it up slightly” is not good enough for people to do anything with, and anything more specific just trains the LLM eventually so it stops proving the point.

A valid point and a good approach. But it's quite a bad pun when used as a title here on HN - and with the capitalization, too.
The hallucinogenic effects of wormwood are pretty highly overstated. You’d get alcohol poisoning before you get there, at least with commercial absinthe. Can’t say what it was like in Poe’s time.

I think the main reason it got passed over is that anise isn’t popular with Americans. If you don’t like ouzo or arak or raki or pastis, you’re probably not going to love absinthe.

Notte– A Language-First Browser for LLM Agents
Hey HN, we built core of Notte an opensource library to turn the web into a natural-language environment for LLM agents. Instead of handling HTML or vision screenshots, pages become a plain-English action space. With observe(), step(), and reset(), your LLM agent focuses on pure navigation and reasoning, not low-level details. This reduces complexity, cuts costs, and speeds things up. WebVoyager and WebArena benchmarks coming soon. We're curious to hear feedback about this new approach. Andrea & Lucas.

Code generation leaves a layer of abstraction between the API and the actual implementation which works great if that code generation is bug-free but if it's not, you're like... totally fucked. Most commonly people say you can read the generated code and step backwards but that's like saying you can read the compiled JavaScript and it's basically open source. That layer of abstraction is an underrated mental barrier.

Of course, code generation is still practical and I'm a lot more likely to trust a third-party writing a code generator like protobufs, OpenAPI specs, etc, but I would not trust an internal team to do so without a very good reason. I've worked on a few projects that lost hundreds of dev hours trying to maintain their code generator to avoid a tiny bit of copy/paste.
Wholeheartedly agree with both the nominal and underlying advice here.

Doing the right thing all the time is painful, tedious and can cost you. But doing the wrong thing will cost you too. Both compound.

The literal advice about going to the funeral is about showing up for people who meant something to you. There are only a few special times in your life when you get to see a large chunk of other people's important people:

* graduations

* coming of age ceremonies

* weddings

* funerals

Being there gives you a special chance to know the person better. Just do it.

We just began home schooling for our thirteen year old after a couple of miserable months at the local middle school, where the staff clearly have no influence over the pervasive culture of violence among the students. We'll look again when high school comes around, but for now, online classes seem like the best choice. We signed up with Prisma:

https://www.joinprisma.com/

This approach differs from traditional home schooling in that we don't have to provide the lessons ourselves. My wife, who prefers remote work anyway, can help the kiddo stay on schedule and avoid (too much) distraction, while still primarily focusing on their own job.

Home education was my parents' answer for me, too, coincidentally enough - I never had any conventional schooling until college. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for everyone, but it certainly worked well for me.
>Any monies donated in excess of what is needed to provide the service through to 16th March 2025 will be spent personally on unnecessary bike gear or astrophotography equipment, but more likely on my transition costs as being transfemme I can tell you there is zero NHS support and I'm busy doing everything DIY (reminder to myself, need to go buy some blood tests so I can guess my next dosage change)... Not that I imagine there will be an excess, but hey, I must be clear about what would happen if there were an excess.

I would argue the honorable thing to do in the event excess monies remain would be to donate it to a charity. Using it for personal ends, whatever the details, is wrong because that's not what the donations were for.

> You used to be able to (and still can, in some cases) take a low-end device and, if you'd won the chip lottery, "undo" the binning and have a perfectly functional high-end version.

For the purposes you tested it, sure. Maybe some esoteric feature you don't use is broken. NVIDIA still can't sell it as the higher end SKU. The tests a chip maker runs to bin their chips are not the same tests you might run.

I'm sure chip makers make small adjustments to supply via binning to satisfy market demand, but if the "technical binning" is too far out of line from the "market binning", that's a lot of money left on the table that will get corrected sooner or later.

edit: And that correction might be in the form of removing redundancies from the chip design, rather than increasing the supply/lowering the price of higher end SKUs. The whole point here is, that's two sides of the same coin.

I am more appalled at how long it has taken for the big tech other than Google to standardized ML workload and not be bound by CUDA.
Thanks for the suggestions! This is definitely something we'll be looking at.

We're currently working on providing a more extensive interface to show users a variety of performance metrics of the models they're running. Having efficiency metrics would be a great addition.

I think additionally an important facet of these tests would be providing clarity on the details of the tests to make them reproducible. I find that sometimes reported stats don't quite translate to real-world experiences. It can feel like results are presented using the workloads that look best on a system, so a standardized/reproducible approach would be best.

That's an excellent article. Another quote I found especially relevant:

>Every step that law takes down the enormous hierarchy of bureaucracy, the incentives for the public servants who operationalize it is to take a more literal, less flexible interpretation. By the time the daycare worker interacts with it, the effect of the law is often at odds with lawmakers’ intent.

Put another way, everyone in the chain is incentivized to be very risk averse when faced with a vague regulation, and this risk aversion can compound to reach absurd places.
You should try Doom emacs if you find spacemacs performances not good enough.
That is categorically untrue. The internet was available well before 94.

AOL and Compuserve were available and provided access to quite a large number of people starting in 85 iirc, and by 89/90 their free month promotions targeting families made it cost effect for most (they sent out the CDs and bundled them with magazines everywhere, allowed creation of subaccounts, and many businesses reimbursed for the monthly costs as email was really catching on).

It certainly wasn't the web as we know it today, but it was the internet with direct interaction in mailing lists, newsgroups, chat rooms, You've got emails, and other network connected services and even games in the form of muds, all at the blazing fast speeds of the time, 14.4kbps, and its now iconic connection handshake.

I actually think Scratch is fine for 10ish year olds, mainly because all of my above holds true: scratch.mit.edu is an online community where kids can copy, tweak and in general be inspired by and learn from what other kids have done. Your universe can expand with your curiosity. When my nephew was 10, he started with Scratch. My brother guided him towards using Python on a Raspberry Pi soon after.

For kids around 10, I think it's all about what the kid thinks is more fun.
>This is ego speaking.

Very much so. These things are moving so quickly and agentic systems are already writing complete codebases. Give it a few years. No matter how 1337 you think you are, they are very likely to surpass you in 5-10 years.

I would be surprised if your first program was C++? Specifically, getting a decent C++ toolchain that can produce a meaningful program is not a small thing?

I'm not sure where I feel about languages made for teaching and whatnot, yet; but I would be remiss if I didn't encourage my kids to use https://scratch.mit.edu/ for their early programming. I remember early computers would boot into a BASIC prompt and I could transcribe some programs to make screensavers and games. LOGO was not uncommon to explore fractals and general path finding ideas.

Even beyond games and screensavers, MS Access (or any similar offering, FoxPro, as an example) was easily more valuable for learning to program interfaces to data than I'm used to seeing from many lower level offerings. Our industries shunning of interface builders has done more to make it difficult to get kids programming than I think we admit.

Edit to add: Honestly, I think my kids learned more about game programming from Mario Builder at early ages than makes sense.
Yes it has the concept. But like the previous poster said, it can only be used in very serious criminal wrongdoing.
It just takes time and patience to get the sort of political capital that you need to make change. You wait for disasters to happen because of incompetence and then you pounce. There's also a finesse to it though, half of the battle is convincing the right people that they had these ideas in the first place. I also employ the "whisper campaign" often. Just seeding ideas in various conversations lightly, once people start to say them in conversations without you prompting it you know your job is done.

Code generation is under utilized because most people don't have a build system good enough for it. Traditional make is fine: you just define dependencies and rules. But a lot of people want to use language-specific build systems and these often don't have good support for code generation and dependency tracking for generated code.

Yet another subtlety is that when cross-compiling, you need to build the code generation tool for the local target always even though the main target could be a foreign architecture. And because the code generation tool and the main code could share dependencies, these dependencies need to be built twice for different targets. That again is something many build tools don't support.
