I would also say that could account for the download count differences between the projects. Django may still be used for more monolithic applications whereas Flask and FastAPI may be the choices for smaller-scoped microservices resulting in 10x downloads.

No negative connotation is intended here for "monolithic". On the contrary, if the above assumption is at all true, it highlights a overhead cost of individual microservices.
I love the photo with the TRX straps even if he doesn't seem to really be using them properly. I just got introduced to TRX and kettlebells and I feel now like I was missing them all these years, especially the kettlebells. Both of them strike me as really good choices for a home gym.

My understanding of US law is extremely limited, but seeing it's a class action, would the lawyer be able to file the suit on behalf of the customers instead, if e.g. they thought it has a better chance to succeed as such? And if not, is the fact that this suit is filed on "breach of contract and unfair practices" claims presenting any evidence that Honey engaged in a specific legally defined practice of "cookie stuffing"?
I have to disagree. Naive algorithms are absolutely fine if they aren’t performance issues.

The comment you are replying to is making the point that “better” is context dependent. Simple is often better.

> There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%. - Donald Knuth

Are you sure it would be hard?

Maybe it only requires asking the LLM to be creative when designing the algorithm. The parent poster spent some time thinking about it, obviously--he didn't generate it accurately "on the fly," either. But he's able to direct his own attention.

I don't see why the LLM couldn't come up with this logic, if prompted to think about a clever algorithm that was highly specific to this problem.

You guys are picking on the problem statement. Here's a revised prompt, which also skips the silliness of single threading:

Write __fully parallelized__ Python code to solve this problem: __Generate__ 1 million random integers between 1 and 10,000,000, find the difference between the smallest and the largest numbers whose digits sum up to 30.
> One of Haskell’s most basic innovations (well, I’d guess it probably wasn’t first, but compared to other relatively mainstream languages) was the ability to write the type of a function separately from writing the function body.

Anyone familiar with the initial versions of C / C++? Both languages have offerd the ability to define your function signatures in header files for as long as I have known them, so if you wished to separate from the actual function body you should have been able to do that.

But then Haskell can hardly have been the first mainstream? But maybe someone with more ancient knowledge could share some insights - thx.
I agree. The only thing is that 250 employees can't be a million dollar company, as then each employee would be making $333 a month.
TBH I'm not sure how he arrived at "won’t replace software engineers anytime soon"

The LLM solved his task. With his "improved prompt" the code is good. The LLM in his setup was not given a chance to actually debug its code. It only took him 5 "improve this code" commands to get to the final optimized result, which means the whole thing was solved (LLM execution time) in under 1 minute.
You don't quite need a full 64-bit adder to materialize the proper value, as one argument is only a 10-bit int. So a 10-bit adder, a 54-bit increment, and muxing it with the original depending on the add carry.

And, presumably, the OP shift case here is in fact a case of there not being a built-in immediate adder and thus a need for fixup uops being inserted to materialize it?

Do you not understand what people mean when they say iTerm2 is free and open source software developed in a single person's spare time, and people aren't owed any of it? You didn't pay your metaphorical mechanic. Such bold sense of entitlement.

What's even more unfortunate is your take on my previous comment:

Piece of throwaway software? Do words have no meaning to you? This is 15 year's worth of work that you're belittling. That work consists not only of coding, but coordinating with users and other software projects. I've seen him many times in issue trackers of various other projects. He's giving away all of that work for free. Imagine having to deal with people like you on top of all that.

Show HN: I'm tired of sharing code using PasteBin and Slack, so I made this
Hey developers

I think we're tired of copying and pasting our codes and sharing links using PasteBin, GithubGist, or Slack. What if you could share the codes without copying the link and share them right from your favorite editor? That was the motivation for creating TurboGist.

Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store.

Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE.

However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a better alternative to PasteBin or GithubGist.

Looking for your input on:

- How this would fit your workflow?

- Must-have features or integrations (e.g., GitHub Gist, PasteBin, etc.)?

- Pain points in your current code-sharing process?

- Do you have features in your mind?

Thanks for reading this.

What about alcohol-based mouthwash?
We have the problem of too-perfect-recall with humans too -- even beyond artists with (near) photographic memory, there's the more common case of things like reverse-engineering.

At times, developers on projects like WINE and ReactOS use "clean-room" reverse-engineering policies [0], where -- if Developer A reads a decompiled version of an undocumented routine in a Windows DLL (in order to figure out what it does), then they are now "contaminated" and not eligible to write the open-source replacement for this DLL, because we cannot trust them to not copy it verbatim (or enough to violate copyright).

So we need to introduce a barrier of safety, where Developer A then writes a plaintext translation of the code, describing and documenting its functionality in complete detail. They are then free to pass this to someone else (Developer B) who is now free to implement an open-source replacement for that function -- unburdened by any fear of copyright violation or contamination.

So your comment has me pondering -- what would the equivalent look like (mathematically) inside of an LLM? Is there a way to do clean-room reverse-engineering of images, text, videos, etc? Obviously one couldn't use clean-room training for _everything_ -- there must be a shared context of language at some point between the two Developers. But you have me wondering... could one build a system to train an LLM from copywritten content in a way that doesn't violate copyright?

Are you saying we shouldn't trust unelected regulatory bureaucrats to look out for our best interests? /s

The idea that these regulatory bodies won't leverage the absolute hell out of rulings like this to invade on free speech (which we know 1000% they already do) is absurd.

You might be thrilled at this incoming administration and their ability to appoint absolute incorruptible stewards of the public into these positions, but administrations change over time so they may eventually be handing it off to some people with bad intentions
sometimes when a dev pushes for a refactor they'll say that the reason is about building maintainability/best-practices/code-philosophy/whatever but the TRUE reason that they may not even be willing to admit to themselves is that they see something FUN in the refactor.

finding patterns that could be abstracted is fun like solving a tricky puzzle. or getting a chance to play with a new framework or language feature and just seeing what it's like.

i don't know how a manager is supposed to handle this situation, but as a dev once i realize what my true motivation is it becomes a lot easier. i can separate the 'coding for work' from the 'coding for fun' and just put my head down and do the boring work and look for the fun somewhere else.

How to read a paper, and tell whether it's bullshit
Youre correct about stream, my bad but I feel you’re extremely uncharitable with your words. “There’s even a post on reddit […]” was what I wrote to note that people had picked up on the feature toggle during the beta which is also where the 18.1 info came from.

How would you have liked to have received information about this feature? We might disagree wether the technical blog post is not good enough and, let’s face it, no one probably read the legal notice for Photos & privacy.
Correct, this optimization no longer works when you change the problem.
Any parellogram would work since given four digit number n1n2n3n4, it is divisible by 11 iff n1+n3=n2+n4, and each ni is linear combination of the coords of keypads xi, yi, and thus (n1+n3)/2 = (n2+n4)/2
Let's say for the sake of argument that you agree with me that the US should not become a completely state-controlled economy like the former Soviet Union.

That part of the world has a biolab doing gain of function research on that kind of virus because that part of the world has had problems with that kind of virus in the past. It receives finding from other countries because now that we know the source of the threat it makes sense to study it on the correct side of the world.

Zoonotic diseases are ecosystems' hedge against diversity loss and Chinas rapid growth in the last 50y has put a strain on local species such that it has activated twice before. They'd be negligent not to be attempting to prepare for a third event. Maybe they went too far in their strategy, maybe they screwed up in their containment practices, but 99-100% of this this is a nature-made weapon.

Maybe a lab managed to carve their initials into it somewhere. But we're never going to get good information about whether that's the case. Yet we're still all amped about that maybe-1% even though there's a lot of other things we could learn from here--things which nobody has any reason to spread misinformation about, and which could prevent a lot of hardship.
I disagree with this. Here are a few tidy Republican stances:

- Gun violence? Eh. Nothing we can do there. Best to just get used to it. Thoughts and prayers.

- Climate change? Nothing to see there. Drill baby, drill!

- Covid? Best to just ignore it, let it run rampant, let the weak die. No biggie.

- Universal healthcare? It'd totally suck. Wait times. Higher taxes. Pay no attention to the nearly 100 other countries successfully pulling this off.

The Republican Party is the party of maintaining the status-quo, insisting solved problems are unsolvable. Since Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party's central thesis is: Government is inept. Let's neuter it as much as possible. Many of us see DOGE just as a cringely-named continuation of this mission.

I'm just saying, the technical, ethical, and legal implications of creating an ad network that surreptitiously slurps up audio 24 hours a day in violation of the claimed terms of service without anybody leaking anything about it is a conspiracy that seems less likely than people just being more predictable than they would like to believe.
That's a red herring.

The problem is that these are fundamentally NOT reasoning systems. Even when contorted into "reasoning" models, these are just stochastic parrots guessing the next words in the hopes that it's the correct reasoning "step" in the context.

No approach is going to meaningfully work here. Fiddling with the prompt may get you better guesses, but they will always be guesses. Even without the antonym it's just a diceroll on whether the model will skip or add a step.
I wouldn't characterize a forward declaration of a function as a distinct definition of its types—any types in the forward declaration must match those in the implementation; there's no way to implicitly refer to the types used in the forward declaration to ensure a single place of typing.
Because it's a) a useful function for the app that b) can't practically be done entirely on-device, and c) they believe they're not sending anything private off-device.

Your analysis leaves out one teeny tiny little thing--the ~6 Trillion dollar federal budget!

If you're paying 100% of revenue on debt service, taking on more debt isn't optional. All other federal outlays must either cease or be funded by new debt. Given current levels of federal spending, that would mean increasing the national debt by ~20% of GDP, per year.

More debt --> higher debt service costs --> even more debt --> even higher debt service costs --> et cetera
Sure I believe in accessibility, just not lawsuits, yes two different things! If I don't like the way a service works, I cut ties with that particular service, and don't complain. Sometimes I'll contact them first, to advise them they have an accessibility issue, but I'm nice about it.
I did this last year actually, I was testing feeder, I contacted them, to let them know I would be testing the service. When it really wasn't working for me, I needed them to make some tweaks, when the tweaks they made didn't work for me, mostly change the tabbed navigation that I wasn't using, I left.
That being said, I like RSS a lot! However RSS readers these days leave a whole lot to be desired! I've been looking for one since 2013. I did use Miniflux for a while, until the service that was managing it for me shut down. I didn't learn terminal when I was young lol. I also have chronic migraines, so not sure if I could try and fix that now.
This is great! I wish I could bring myself to blog, as I discovered this accidentally around March. I was experimenting with an agent that acted like a ghost in the machine and interacted via shell terminals. It would start every session by generating a greeting in ASCII art. On one occasion, I was shocked to see that the greeting was getting better each time it ran. When I looked into the logs, I saw that there was a mistake in my code which was causing it to always return an error message to the model, even when no error occurred. The model interpreted this as an instruction to try and improve its code.

Some more observations: New Sonnet is not universally better than Old Sonnet. I have done thousands of experiments in agentic workflows using both, and New Sonnet fails regularly at the same tasks Old Sonnet passes. For example, when asking it to update a file, Old Sonnet understands that updating a file requires first reading the file, whereas New Sonnet often overwrites the file with 'hallucinated' content.

When executing commands, Old Sonnet knows that it should wait for the execution output before responding, while New Sonnet hallucinates the command outputs.

Also, regarding temperature: 0 is not always more deterministic than temperature 1. If you regularly deal with code that includes calls to new LLMs, you will notice that, even at temperature 0, it often will 'correct' the model name to something it is more familiar with. If the subject of your prompt is newer than the model's knowledge cutoff date, then a higher temperature might be more accurate than a lower temperature.
Struggle is not the deterrent for most people; risk is.
My soul mates right here.
that doesn’t matter here and it wasn’t really disparaging

the only people that have an issue with web3 have a characteristic and typically describe an irrelevant system design that doesn’t factor in the simple reality that users are paying in web3 and wouldn’t in web2.0, the only people having an issue creating web3 apps have a characteristic, for example I just got off a call with someone trying to jump on the web3 bandwagon for hotel reservations - a technophobic audience that should be ignored for web3 ux fictions - and the only people funding broken web2 apps that are supposed to use web3 rails have a characteristic

People should try to switch to a more code-focused interface, like aider.

Copy and pasting code it gives you just means your workflow is totally borked, and it's no wonder you wouldn't want to try to let it generate code, because it's such a pain in your ass to try it, diff it, etc.
Irrelevant unless you're offering some type of proof to the contrary
Excellent point. The hope is reasoning LLMs will make a difference for such problems. But it's also a great example of why the those who think being able to have the LLM iterate more will be crucial to reasoning are off base. There are many computations that a transformers (or humans for that matter) are not well equipped to represent internally, tool use during the reasoning process is unavoidable for all but the artificial or knowledge heavy problems.

Small examples, throwaway but involved calculations, prototypes, notes of what didn't work and what's promising are what's crucial for novel reasoning. It goes beyond just search or iterative refinement; there is no royal road to reasoning.

The only way he is being authentic is if he is an idiot.
