Where are you from? Many kids in my quite large country learn the name of 50 states and the capital city of each before they are 11.
Yeah - I'm using mediapipe for hand tracking, which is straight out of the box. Then I can just make the robot draw the exact sequence of dots my index finger drew :)
I never knew him, but it’s incredibly saddening to see someone around my age take their own life, or at any age for that matter. He seemed like he was a bright soul who fought for what he believed was right. We need more people like that. They’re the ones who inspire others to enact change, even if we disagree with them. Rest easy, Suchir.
A lot of modern tooling in python is rust based such as pydantic - the skills to maintain this are already available
Wow.

When did we take the turn from sci-fi like that to the ever dystopian laments we read today.

I'd say there are two things that make me prefer rye/uv.

The speed is one — sometimes I'm in the middle of a project and realise I need to pull in another dependency. Keeping the disruption to flow at a minimum is helpful in those cases. So it's not about deployed performance, it's about mental friction.

The other is I've found Poetry liable to breaking in obscure ways. I don't fully control everything on my work machine, which I suspect is the issue. So far, rye and uv have been smooth, but that might be down to me not having used them long enough.
Since PHP’s types are monkey-patched on top, the type hints are indeed quite necessary for proper IDE hints, especially when it comes to arrays.
Yea lets build a whole docker setup for this little Sudoku app that never will have more than 100 users. I mean, for fun overengineering small projects can be a great learning experience but for work? Keep it simple, stupid.

(In case it wasn't clear, im agreeing with your point and just giving some example)
Depends which kind of economics you mean. There's a lot of theoretical mathematics economics that is pretty much applied maths. It can provide some insight into real economics but economists often get carried away with that because it makes the wildly incorrect assumption that everyone is rational and has perfect information.

Then there's economics that tries to take actual people into account, which you basically have to do by experiment. E.g. one thing I looked up recently: do blind auctions or open bids gain more profit (answer was inconclusive). That's more like social science. More relevant questions but less reliable answers.
Fair enough. Regarding your last paragraph though, I do think though that intellectual curiosity is a key tool of subjugation. Oligarchs and tech businessmen have discovered that technology is a key wealth concentration tool and the most effective way to utilize that is to give the technically-minded intelligent a world of wonders to explore and create so that the most wealthy can use those tools to concentrate the majority of the wealth. If we consider that psychologically, many of us (myself included) have used intellectual exploration as a source of beauty and comfort, this method is all the more effective.

The problem with light is that it's quite a lot bigger than the features on current chips.

If you get enough other benefits from going up from 2nm features to e.g. 200nm UV-C photons, then you may still choose to do so.
3 main use cases from my experience:

- Executives want to do cross-functional changes. (E.g., introduce new ERP software)

- External ruthless assessment of head count and subsequent slashing.

- Body leasing. (quasi-employees that are not on the books as employees)

Mostly in medium-sized and larger orgs where there’s too much cruft.

Show HN: A ML powered text moderation model that outperforms Open AI
The choice of Java is a bit unfortunate :(

The author could keep the "sleek and focused" approach with CLI tooling and get even better type system and platform with C# and .NET instead.
As a humanities sort I appreciate this but the scripts sort of go against the general thrust of the text since the scripts can not understand context or semantics, it feels like they would push many towards blindly following prescription instead of what he is advocating for. I think elaboration would have served better than bad, better and good examples which do not explain the issues and assume the reader will intuitively understand. We get some elaboration but not enough.

Gardner's Modern English Grammar should also be the primary recommendation for further reading, Gardner has a gift for explaining the nuances of these things. Style guides are guides for the style of a given publication or writing within a discipline, not guides on writing well or with style.
I am actually glad that this person developed the IDE. Please download the IDE and try it. It is exceptionally fast. When I compare the speed with that of IDEs like Visual Studio Code etc, the difference is night and day.
If I were to go out of my way to meet a stranger via a platform like meet.hn, then I would at least want to meet a person that had interesting opinions/experiences on subjects that we shared an interest in.

Say what you will about internet points, but they can be a decent signalling mechanism.

When looking over the ~50 accounts listed in my current country of residence, these are mostly all <50 karma accounts created in the last 1-3 years.

Which all points to very little engagement on HN (and looking at their comment/submit history confirms this), making it difficult for me to justify the use of my already scarce time in this way.
Well in what context does it matter?

If it's useful for you to learn, then it matters, right?

There are also endless applications for hardware, but I guess to make a viable product you probably need a sizeable team of people.
He aggrieved the rich. This opioid crisis has largely hit the poor.

We are. Plateauing doesnt mean you don't book progress. Arguably that is what you would call "plateaud".

The argument of plateauing is not that AI is fundamentally impossible. The argument is that just dumping more data and more compute on the problem, using the same approach, has diminishing returns.

It's that statistical inference is not how the human mind works (not exclusively) and thus that we are not guaranteed to be able to replicate all traits of human intelligence by brute forcing.

Of course we can and will still improve the algorithms. But the question remains whether tweaks like these, as cool and useful they may be to solve certain issues, will be enough by themselves.

Since it remains statistical in nature, my position is "no".

In my opinion (as some who recently moved out of a big city) it would be very valuable to have an easy way to meet local HN’rs. Either for group sessions or 1-1 or something in between.

I think you’re drawing premature conclusions from the dropoff in signups.

All users are probably in the “now what?” Stage. And if more people knew your site was a way to connect with nearby HNers (ie the value prop was higher and better known), you’d have a lot of interest. So classic chicken egg problem I believe. But there are many successful sites that have broken through this phase. In my opinion you should keep it up.
Ha, that gives a pretty good picture how "open" Openai is. They want to own their employees, enslave them in a way. One might even think the cause of that whistleblower's death is contagious upon publishing.

Really ridiculous how afraid Openai is of criticism. Acting like a child that throws a tantrum, when something doesn't go its way, just that one needs to remind oneself, that somehow there are, with regard to age at least, adults behind this stuff.
> How many characters? Enough characters so that the total uncertainty (entropy) in each chunk is about the same.

That's not how it's described in Section 2.3 of the paper. They only use the entropy of the next byte and whether it exceeds a threshold (Global Constraint) or is larger than the preceding byte's entropy by another threshold (Approx. Monotonic Constraint).

That does mean that long repetitive sequences can result in pathologically long patches, as demonstrated in Appendix E.

But what I'm really curious about is the "small CNN byte-level model with 2-byte context" in Figure 3 (f), because it's never mentioned in any other part of the paper.
That's very inspiring for me to hear, thank you! Glad it's useful.
It's still there for me, though the context menu option is not.
Not sure mate, Covid did 6+ million.
I tried HTMX but found it too restricting. It's great if you just want to load a portion of the page. Maybe if you have an up-vote, just send the request and replace the icon with a gold icon.

But I want things like an on-site calculator. I load in products and prices, users can adjust sliders to change the quantity and relevant number is calculated. I don't want to use HTMX for this to call the server each time, I want instant reactivity and state in the frontend maintained so when the user has tweaked as necessary they can just check out.

HTMX does not fit this use case so I use React to build widgets (or if even more complex SPA then Angular). If I'm using a JS framework anyway, then I don't need HTMX. It's just something else to clutter the project and remember to use.

HTMX has its place but with the user expectation for reactivity in the browser I personally find it too limiting.

Huh cool, I'll have to try that. Conda is great for getting the dependencies for non python code (geos/gdal/cuda etc) but uv is super fast and straightforward (makes building packages much, much easier).

So I watched the demo video on your site, and honestly I'm not sure how this is really all that much better than what can already be done with ChatGPT.

The key is, I don't want to have to initiate the contact. Hand holding the AI myself defeats the purpose. The ideal AI assistant is one that behaves as if it's a person that's sitting next to me.

Imagine you're a junior that gets on a teams call to get help via pair programming with your boss. For anything more than just a quick fix, pair programming on calls tends to turn into the junior working on something, hitting a roadblock, and the boss stepping in to provide input.

Here's the really important part that I've realized: very rarely will the input that the boss provides be something that is leaps and bounds outside of the ability of the junior. A lot of it will just be asking questions or talking the problem through until it turns the gears enough for the junior to continue on their own. THAT right there. That's the gear turning AI agent I'm looking for.

If someone could develop a tool that "knows" the right time to jump in and talk with you, then I think we'd see huge jumps in productivity for people.

I think people need to appreciate that the number of developers interested in actually helping with free software maintenance is a subset of the number of developers. And when it comes to Python in particular, that subset is proportionally very small. That's just my anecdotal experience of similar projects in both ecosystems.
I wonder if there was a current that offered some resistance to it but was overpowered

I've found that often people who have been deep in the JVM ecosystem really struggle to enjoy Go, and vice versa.

It's like the JVM ecosystem commits deeply to the complete opposite of idiomatic Go, and once you've built those neural pathways, it's hard to unlearn it all.

> mundane observation

What makes an observation mundane? I think what you said is insightful and demonstrates intelligence. I don't think it's at all obvious to the masses of students that have poured over introductory physics textbooks. In fact, it seems to me that often entropy is taught poorly and that very few people understood it well but that we are beginning to correct that. I point to the heaps of popsci magazines, documentaries and YouTube videos failing to do anything but confuse the public as additional evidence.
Do you think killing a child's parents does not harm them?

Nice - did you just chuck it into wolfram alpha or sympy? How'd you get it?
If you’re a Java dev, and you try to force Java-isms into Go, you’re gonna have a bad time.

The Go philosophy http://go-proverbs.github.io/ pays off less in the short term, within a single file, or a single stdlib function, or with syntactic sugar to code golf 3 lines into 1 - it pays off in the long term, across time and people - and this makes all the difference

Didn't Apple kill deep sleep/hibernation when transitioning to ARM ?

It was touted as "Always On Processor" to mimic the iOS and iPadOS management of CPU and never shut it down.
I'd love to see a statistical analysis of whistleblower deaths on the US over the last 15 years. I'd be extremely susprised if it wasn't enormously anomalous.

> There is an argument, particularly from C++ people, that the CPU architectures designed after C++ 11 shipped with the Acquire/Release model have all chosen to provide features that can do Acquire/Release smoothly.

I never heard that argument (source would be good?) but this is very different to what the parent comment said. Code does not run in vacuum - it runs on the CPU. And CPU does not exist vacuum - it's there to run that very code so they're both very inter-dependent and intertwined. As much as CPU designs are changing to accommodate new algorithmic requirements so does the code but vice-versa - to make a utility of new CPU designs.

So, of course, CPU vendors will do everything that is in their control to make the new chip design appealing to their customers. This has been done forever. If that means spending extra transistors to run some C++ heavy data center code faster by 10% of course they will do it - there's a very large incentive in doing so.

But that doesn't mean that CPU vendors are designing their chips to accommodate abstract programming language models. In this case, memory models.

Probably one of the most easiest examples of such practices to understand, and that I could think of right now, is Jazelle - an ARM CPU circuitry designed to execute the Java bytecode directly in the CPU itself.
Pydantic had a nice model where the open source tool is fantastic, but they now sell a cloud based logging system around that. There will be some enterprise tooling around UV that they could sell while keeping the tool itself free
> At the same time 'Putin propaganda' channels are blocked in EU.

I don't think that's true. You can find a lot of that online, with or without commentary. There are even European comentators siding with adjecent views. Though it doesn't leak into European public media too much (although some of its more absurdist concepts sadly do).

It's just that "the other side of the story" is something that vast majority of Europeans are repulsed by because of its intrinsic idiocy, blatant disingenuity and evilness. Some of the European countries that got out from under russian influence remember it from the times of poverty and oppression. That's where the part of the opinion bias on that subject between Europe and the rest of the world comes from. Firsthand expeirience with russia. Supporting Ukraine is both helping Ukraine with their current russian expeirience and possibly a hope of saving all future Europeans from having russian expeirience ever again.
> lets build a whole docker setup for this little Sudoku app that never will have more than 100 users.

Looks good on the CV though and managers who hire-by-cv-not-sense love that kind of thing. You'd be amazed at how many interviews I've failed by pointing out that following the latest trends and over-engineering isn't always a good plan.

Also means there's a constant supply of work for contractors who can unpick that kind of gibberish back into reliable systems which is nice.
Tony has helped me to become a better programmer in an unexpected way.

Years back, as a beginning programmer I got really confused by his other articles. As I was looking for guidance on application design I took him seriously but also noticed that his examples of "good design" were in fact the opposite.

Later it dawned upon me that the was doing COBOL in PHP. Those lengthy articles are mostly bad takes, but it is interesting nonetheless to see how strict the last believer sticks to the Old Belief. I would take none of his advice, but still have big respect for his stamina.
That's true - using numerical optimization was just the simplest/fastest way to get it working :P
Wouldn't your family want your believes followed through at least?
It's hard to believe that any of these companies could care about AI safety, except in name only. AI is evolving so fast that there simply is no framework that can exist that can protect the majority against AI.

The key problem is this: while AI safety laws can mitigate the effects of existing AI, big tech has free reign to invent new models and new AI and introduce it that will propagate much faster than the law.

In my opinion, there can be no safe AI. We can only partially adapt to it and try not to be the ones crushed by it and live out our current lives in the hope that we can survive. The next generations, not so much. Therefore, I conclude that it was a mistake of humanity to ever invent AI, especially since don't have the wisdom to use it nor proper safeguards for it, especially because we can only operate in the realm of ruthless capitalism.

Intercontinental Ballistic Meat Ball?
I will never understand how people can say that dynamic typing makes them more productive:

"Have you ever changed the type of a function argument and then had to find all usages and change them? Have you ever changed a class and then had to recompile, and redeploy, all the classes that used that class? These are just three of the issues that don't occur nearly as often in dynamically typed languages."

If you change the type of an argument you OF COURSE want/need to change all usages of that function in both static and dynamic languages - how in the world did you expect sqrt(struct Person) to behave? - but static typing helps you quickly find all those instances so you're more productive in making that refactor.
Do you have any examples of use cases Keyboard Maestro is great for?
Systemd does detect and log cycles and breaks them by arbitrarily removing one dependency.

Thought in this case there is an invisible (to systemd) dependency where a service depends on a network interface, but that interface is created by an arbitrary other service.

So you have to manually create a dependency between these services to make it visible.
Sure but... what is there to "disagree" with? customers are paying for it. If you don't want it, don't pay. But why expend energy on "disagreeing"?

Really cool 4dof robot - thanks for the reccomendation
I think we as human beings do not actually invest almost anything in these kinds of quality of life improvements. Everything is based on commercial interests driven by capitalism, so big projects are undertaken only when there is proportionate commercial interest in them. I feel we could improve people's quality of life significantly if only we put our resources and technology in service of this purpose.

In this case, you may notice that this project was done just by the municipality, not by any government or commercial entity, and only because of the goodwill of a few people in this town. I would say we need political will at the state level to accomplish these kinds of projects.

I feel that with modern day technology could do marvel to improve the quality of life of people. Instead technology often ends up making life of people subtly more miserable.
