Look, I like the sentence. I like it so much I might steal it. But, that said I think analogising what the brain does to "general purpose computer" is a bit awry because we can invent algorithms, and given a process we can implement algorithms but I still tend to think there is something ineffable about thought/cognition which is NOT general purpose computation. It's a heuristic. I dunno what I think.
Yes, and I think you can imagine that the software I’m building is neither an e-reader nor is it a platform to purchase ebooks

I just got a Pixel Watch 3 and find it impossible to understand how they have such an advanced monitoring on so many health aspects, including sleep cycles, but it doesn't support Smart Alarms (aka. Smart Wake or similar names), i.e. an alarm that is able to wake you up when you are in the lightest phase of sleep.

(just like what Fitbit bands themselves had, or what apps such as "Sleep as Android smart alarm" try to guesstimate)
The Langfuse data model is closely inspired by OpenTelemetry and we plan to add a Collector soonish. Until now, the OTel-semantics for LLMs have not been very stable and exhaustive while LLM capabilities are changing frequently (think prompt caching, realtime, multi-modal).

We are tracking this here including potential tradeoffs: https://github.com/orgs/langfuse/discussions/2509

Modern 3D rendering APIs (like Metal, D3D12 and Vulkan and D3D11 to some extent) offer far more flexibility than the traditional triangles-and-materials approach.
Rendering in Brisk leverages complex shaders that directly process drawing commands on GPU, avoiding the intermediate step of converting them into a list of triangles.

For text rendering, Brisk uses FreeType to render glyphs on the CPU and caches these glyphs in a GPU-accessible texture, which is reused for improved performance. This approach is common among GUI toolkits for handling graphics and fonts.

In addition to this, Brisk employs SDF (signed distance field) graphics wherever possible, which are entirely computed in shaders.
Wow 4712 BCE was when the pyramids were new and shiny. Just kidding, it turns out it was the first Julian day. Got some help here:

January 1, 4713 BCE marks the beginning of the Julian Day count. This system was introduced by Joseph Scaliger in 1583 CE.

Scaliger selected 4713 BCE as the starting point because it is the nearest date where three cycles—solar, lunar, and Roman indiction—coincide. These cycles are:

The 28-year solar cycle.

The 19-year Metonic lunar cycle.

The 15-year Roman indiction cycle.
You absolutely cannot determine the size, distance, altitude, or speed of an unknown object in the sky at any significant distance. It’s not even rough, it’s completely impossible. You can determine the ratios of those quantities, but the best you can do is come up with a wide minimum and maximum of, let’s say, 500ft to 50 miles of distance (more if it’s just one light).

If you saw an unknown object and it seemed closer to you than normal aircraft, that’s your brain suffering from an illusion. It’s not real information.

I actually think that could end up having the opposite effect in lower paying fields.

An mid level engineer at Google averages $280k/yr according to levels. A principal mechanical engineer at Boeing averages $170k/yr according to levels. If Google can pay an H1-B engineer 70% of what a non H1-B employee would get ($196k), they can bid up to 80k and still save money.

Since Boeing is going for a high level employee who actually highly skilled, it's less likely that they would be able to underpay their candidate, but even if they could pay their H1-B employee 70% of the market rate ($117k), they only have ~$50k to before they hit the break even point.

Obviously if the person is highly skilled and Boeing actually needs them it would make sense to bid beyond the break even point, but Boeing needs to be more choosy than Google. In that scenario, Google should put every single L4 candidate up for and H1-B because if even one gets their bid accepted it saves them money. Boeing actually has to decide which candidates they're willing to overpay for which will result in a smaller pool of mechanical engineers being put up for H1-B visas.

I'm sure Microsoft would have done that in the 2000s if they could have gotten away with it. All the big players did exactly that when they got the chance with mobiles that didn't have any precedent. And no I don't think it's ok even there. But I'm aware I'm a minority.

And yeah I moved away from Mac for this reason among others. My devices should answer to me and me alone.

The NHS currently has a waiting list of 6.3M patients waiting for treatment. The median waiting time for treatment is 14.2 weeks, or 3.2 months.

This is for TREATMENT, not diagnosis, which you have to add on top.

Unemployment benefits are a literal spit in the face in the UK. It is BETTER in the US if you can believe it. Jobseeker Allowance is £90.50 per week, or £392 per month (and you get it only if you're literally broke, I think less than 2 grand in savings).

https://www.gov.uk/jobseekers-allowance

For comparison, the median rent is £1,276 in the UK (not just London).

> You drove to work on roads didn't you?

You have to pay £15 a day for the privilege of sitting in traffic in London: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge

(I'm focusing on London for transport because this is where the extreme majority of high earners are located)

> Or perhaps it was subsidised public transport.

TFL is basically not subsidized. It got subsidized by the government only to recover for COVID, and it is still the least subsidized public transportation in the world by far: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F4...

Note that TFL is also the most expensive public transportation in the whole world, to the point where it is more than twice as expensive as the number 2 (Tokyo).

> Your wealth, and the wealth of the company you worked for was protected from a mob with pitch forks.

Clearly demonstrated otherwise by the riots a few months ago where many properties were burnt by mobs, and companies' buildings defaced by protestors.

I let you search for "uk military unprepared" on Google News, I'm not sure which of the thousands of news articles you'll prefer.

> What about education? Or education for your children?

University is extremely expensive. In fact, if we take into account the purchasing power, the UK has the highest tuitions fees in the world: https://www.statista.com/chart/11058/bachelor-tuition-fees-i...

Even without that, many students get their loans forgiven after 30 years because they don't earn enough to reimburse them.

Besides universities, public schools are bad and private schools are extortionately expensive.

> I run a large payroll, I don't see anyone that pays half of their pay in tax?

You're right on this, it's not possible to pay 50% __income tax__ on your pay in the UK. That said if you take into account student loans repayments and other similar things, you can very well receive less than 50% of your gross income as net income.

Can attest, having searched through literally thousands of pages of documentation in an attempt to attribute the payment processing switch vendor when analysing the ATM jackpotting malware ‘fast cash for Linux’[1]. The best I could do was determine the currency used for the fraudulent transactions, which may imply the country of the target financial institution.

Yes, I understand they looked at the source and re-implemented a bunch of it when they started 10 years ago. But in the result it's a very different code. I mean, it's 45K commits so I believe they implemented things by themselves in majority of those commits. I guess we just have different understanding of the copycat term.

Show HN: letter.tube
You write a letter to a stranger and sign it with a drawing. You don't know who is going to read it, only that they'll have absolutely no way of knowing who you are.

Once your letter is sent, you receive a letter from someone else. You can read it and immediately destroy it. Or you can resend it, putting it back in the pool to be read by others. A letter's survival depends on everyone who receives it choosing to resend it. If a single person chooses to destroy it, it's gone forever.

It's a bit like a message in a bottle for the internet.

I built this site using SvelteKit (front/backend) and Neon (database). Messages are moderated both automatically and by hand before being seen by anyone else; I really don't want anything that might deanonymize the writer, not to mention spam and other badness. I'm not interested in moralizing — people are weird and can be weird on letter.tube — but I want it to stay fun.

Check it out and let me know what you think. (You might not receive a letter in response for the first couple days.)

I think you're the one being overly pedantic if you only qualify 100% Native American as "American". This country isn't just some economic zone that people come to and from for the purposes of commercial or business activity. If that's all it was, then a much more lax or liberal immigration regime would make perfect sense.

>but the population of the United States is 97.9% not from this continent.

This would be a surprise to the 85% of us who were actually born here. In its most simplified form, what those of us who are skeptical of the current immigration regime are wondering out loud is if these processes do actually make "people born in America" better off. "Immigration is always good" has been the mantra since, as you speculate, the 1960s. Probably worth evaluating that idea from first principles from time to time.
That's if they're on the same architecture and operating system as you. Half the people I know are on mac, half of them are on arm. The other half are on windows and x86.
If it's the same process as getting a passport in the first place, you have to give them the documentation proving that you're a citizen, and they sit in it for a while before eventually mailing it back to you.
This is definitely a great feature for future versions and is already in our backlog, though it will require significant effort to implement. Thank you.
Looks nice but if it phones home then my boss won't let me use it.
Can you give some examples? I spend the majority of my time reading code nowadays, and I often have like 8 or more Sublime Text windows open (each open on a separate codebase). I cant imagine how much RAM it would take to do that in CLion or Visual Studio.

Sublime Text's text search is the killer feature for me. CTRL+SHIFT+F and I can search a million LOC+ codebase instantly, navigate the results with CTRL+R, do a sub-search of the results with CTRL+F, set bookmarks with CTRL+F2 (and jump to them with F2/SHIFT+F2), pop the results out to a different window for reference, etc. And all that happens with no jank whatsoever.

The LSP plugins make life easier, but even without that Sublime is often able to find where symbols are defined in a project using just the contextual information from the syntax highlighter.

I tried CLion for a while, but couldnt get productive in it. Ofc I'm much more experienced with Sublime, so maybe I just didnt give myself enough time to learn it, but CLion felt sluggish and inefficient. The smart code features are probably more advanced than Sublime's LSP plugins, but I didn't find anything that would make the switch actually an improvement to me.
Sweet little duckling. Before the Internet you had to call a human on a phone to find phone numbers. 411 was a widely known number, similar to how widely known 911 is today.

Well thats sort of the thing...with Visa and MC, there is an extra layer or two of the bank or Fidelity Information Services. With Amex, they own the full stack end to end.
There is some confusion in that comment.

- PCI DSS 4.0 is already in place and to be retired on December 31, 2024. PCI DSS 4.0.1 is the replacement and I place already.

- PCI DSS 4.0.1 and game tokens have nothing in common. The applicability of PCI DSS requirements are decided by card brands, aka Visa, Mastercard, etc. And it is the acquirers to enforce on the third party service providers to enforce the standard. Standard itself has no power on anyone.

- Mastercard and Visa have high stakes because technically they are the regulators. EMV Co, the core of the payments was built by Europay (later acquired by Mastercard), Mastercard and Visa. The M and V of it are managing the chip on cards, online payments and much more. PCI SSC is merely a supervisory authority who sets the standard, the process of assessments and investigations on behalf of these brands.

Side note: While the other card brands accept PCI DSS as an entry level requirement, they do not have as much saying on it as Mastercard and Visa.
They talked about this in the article. It is for bigger items like RVs and camera bags that you also don't interact a lot on a daily basis.

I don't think we need to know exactly what consciousness is or how to recognize it in order to make a strong case that LLMs don't have it. If someone wants to tell me that LLMs do something we should call reasoning or possess something we should call consciousness or experience themselves as subjects, then I'll be very interested in learning why they're singling out LLMs -- why the same isn't true of every program. LLMs aren't obviously a special, unique case. They run on the same hardware and use the same instruction sets as other programs. If we're going to debate whether they're conscious or capable of reasoning, we need to have the same debate about WinZip.
Immediate mode here is relevant in terms of the api style, not the rendering strategy. From the README:

> A common misunderstanding is to mistake immediate mode GUI for immediate mode rendering, which usually implies hammering your driver/GPU with a bunch of inefficient draw calls and state changes as the GUI functions are called. This is NOT what Dear ImGui does. Dear ImGui outputs vertex buffers and a small list of draw calls batches. It never touches your GPU directly. The draw call batches are decently optimal and you can render them later, in your app or even remotely.

Yep.

I don't think P&G implies that the VM needs to run with exactly the same capabilities and characteristics as the host architecture. If that were true, then probably a large amount of modern virtualized machine are suddenly not P&G anymore, just because some obscure CPU (or other) feature might not be available in the VM, which is not a meaningful distinction.
Hey, thanks! I've been into messaging for quite a long time - network protocols and particularly those involving online communication are among my favourite tech topics :) So yeah, I follow various projects.

You're right that there are pros and cons. Obviously, not having to run a server is a big pro for many. However, the first thing to remember when researching messaging solutions - no matter what anyone tells you - there are always servers! What differs between projects/platforms is what the servers do, and who runs them.

Jami uses a network of public servers that form a distributed hash table (see https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/opendht ). It's a neat design, and they have done a good job tackling the challenges of P2P messaging. Last time I looked in, it still required both users to be connected at the same time for message delivery/sync to work (the devices use the DHT to discover each other, and then exchange messages). This is a fairly common issue for P2P systems, and can be frustrating in a mobile-dominated world. Their DHT software does support push notifications, which helps with that though.

Another project in this category is Briar, which uses the existing network of Tor servers - and therefore adds IP address masking and a layer of metadata protection (as always, there are limitations, e.g. https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/wikis/FAQ#does-b... ). Briar built the concept of "mailbox" nodes you can run ( https://briarproject.org/download-briar-mailbox/ ) to overcome some of the problems with P2P messaging.

With Snikket, instead of using existing publicly shared infrastructure, you just run your own server (e.g. VPS or Raspberry Pi or whatever) which is responsible just for your users, and your users connect directly to it, improving (meta)data locality. This makes the design very simple, reliable and efficient (e.g. with battery/bandwidth). It also enables some important (for our use case) convenience/UX features, such as the ability to add restrictions on certain accounts (e.g. for children), and server-managed contact lists so all your family members don't have to manually add each other as contacts one-by-one. Things like that.

No approach is universally better than every other, but I much prefer the Snikket model for the family-and-friends use case. Not that we don't have our own challenges. Our iOS app is probably the weakest part right now (in terms of UX and general polish). Something I'm working hard to get fixed in 2025.
