> But presumably they all had adequate quality level.

They all do what they claim in the sense that they set forth Safety and Efficacy goals and achieve them. From that perspective all Approved Medical Devices are essentially the same.

But as you say, translating quality to profit isn't obvious. Expressing quality aspects of speed, throughput, reliability, etc. was a clearer benefit to the customer than, e.g., showing that our fluid handling had a Coefficient of Variation of under 5%.
Ooh, that looks wonderful for future projects, but sadly my current one isn't targeted at devs.

Quick question, have you used it for side projects before, and if so how was your experience? It might be nice to try to launch a side project and monetize it with this, having a small amount of profit would make it a lot easier to justify some things I'd love to work on sometime.

CoT models do analyze first without being told to do so.
I should have written "build process" instead I suppose.
There are none. Japan is in the midst of a 20‐year public domain drought (2019–2038), like the US from 1999–2018 and Canada from 2023–2042, because they extended the copyright duration from life+50 to life+70 due to pressure from the EU.

Aozora Bunko does receive new public domain works, but only ones whose copyrights had already expired by 2018.
Californians Say X Blocked Them from Viewing Amber Alert
I could sit down and have a great conversation with, say, Mitt Romney or GWB, I bet. I'd learn something about the world and how they view it and their thoughts and ideas.

The white supremacy stuff is just trash though. That's not "tribes", it's unacceptable.

This gave me an idea that we can skip the whole pass over the million draws by noting that the count of draws landing in my precomputed set M (digits-sum=30) is Binomial(n=1mln, p=|M|/100k). Then we sample that count X. If X=0, the difference is not defined. Otherwise, we can directly draw (min,max) from the correct joint distribution of indices (like you’d get if you actually did X draws in M). Finally we return M[max] - M[min]. It’s O(1) at runtime (ignoring the offline step of listing all numbers whose digits sum to 30).

Dictatorship of the proletariat is supposed to be in theory a transition period. In practice, once you get the power, you keep it.

Other on the far left will rather go a more local route, destroying state structure (as state is oppressive by nature) in the beginning to create a collective bottom up.

I'm not saying any of this is a good idea btw, it's just that far-left has fled the US a long time ago. If you aren't revolutionary, you aren't far-left.

That PR is great. Not only do they get rid of TypeScript, they get rid of prettier and some gratuitous trailing commas. https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/971/files#diff-865b8f...

I’m not joking. I prefer the after.

Edit: thanks. Yes, commas, not comments.
Because otherwise we are talking about LLMs augmented with external tools (i.e. Python interpreters). My original comment was pointing to the limitations of LLMs in writing code by themselves.

I've stopped expressions of outrage at lazy first answers, after seeing some sort of "code of conduct" warning.

Apparently, the singularity ship has sailed, but we really don't want AI to remember us as the species that cursed abuse at it when it was a puppy.
#1 greatly reduces the surface area, and #2 doesn't _increase_ the surface attack limited by #1, in case people are reading this incorrectly.

I have a few degrees in economics. You have absolutely zero idea what you're talking about if you think a US default would have the economy "continue working as before". A US default would make the 08 financial crisis look like a lemonade stand going out of business. This way of thinking is so dangerous because you people don't know what you don't know. Musk and the tech bros are playing Russian roulette with all of our livelihoods.
To my understanding, even with Shor's algorithm, RSA is quantum-resistant when applying sufficiently large numbers such that the quantum computer used to locate the prime must be "sufficiently larger", i.e. a cat and mouse game of sorts until some major breakthrough comes along. I agree with simply moving to Ed25519 and X25519/ML-KEM etc.
Agreed. As a recruiter, it's a useful signal:

If the company hasn't updated it within 2 weeks of the new year, I add it to my priority target list.
This is actually one of those cases where the ease of doing it makes a real difference to me… iTerm2 does both of those on a single click, and that makes it vastly more likely that I’ll use them. (Completely a matter of taste, I’ll admit.)
high-performance sorting algos do either merging or partitioning. I.e., you merge R input streams into one, or split one input stream into R (for quick, radix and sample sort).

1. For merge sort of N elements, you have to perform log(N)/log(R) passes

2. For sample sort - C*log(N)/log(R), where С depends on the distribution of your data, there are no strict guarantees

3. For radix sort of K-byte elements exactly K passes (indeed, 256 ways is optimal according to my tests), which is usually larger than the previous value

While Mergesort looks preferable since it uses the least and fixed amount of passes, the merging code itself is less efficient - there are not much independent CPU operations, making it slower than samplesort and especially radix sort for small inputs.

So, it seems that the best strategy combines two different levels - for larger blocks you absolutely need to minimize the amount of passes [over memory] and employ multithreading, while for smaller blocks we need to minimize the amount of CPU operations and increase ILP.

Today two well-recognized algos are IPS4O for larger blocks and Google's SIMD QuickSort for smaller ones.
Ask HN: Do you think Python will disappear for LLM inference?
For non-LLMs, we have a high variety of frameworks with Python interfaces for running models, often built to call C bindings. This makes it impractical to run models directly from languages like Rust—you’d need to implement an idiomatic layer for each model runtime, something already done for Python. Nvidia's Triton covers a lot, but is it even designed for embedded use? And how feasible is adding custom logic?

For LLMs, it feels like the opposite. There’s a smaller set of frameworks (e.g., llama.cpp, vllm), each supporting a wide range of models. This makes it relatively straightforward to integrate them into other languages like Go, as you only need to maintain a few idiomatic layers.

To me, it’s a no-brainer that Go or Rust will replace Python for serving LLMs. They’re CPU-intensive, Python is generally slow, and the limited number of LLM runtimes simplifies the transition.
Indeed. Also, Rhode Island has:

- Naval Undersea Warfare Centers, Newport, whose predecessor (IIUC) built the world's crappiest torpedoes until a few years into WW2.

You would think so, but the micro-interruptions of switching modes, selecting documents, selecting tools, etc make a huge difference in terms of flow.

It sounds small, but "taking a second to select a new brushstroke from a list of options" is exactly what OP is talking about in terms of raw creation vs synthesis.
Do not let the title fool you. It also talks about Linux too.
Do something to help everyone else stuck in the system. Hire lobbyists to improve healthcare in the US. All the other rich people are just trying to make things worse and extract as much as possible.
Interestingly, Sabian is the same family as Zildjian. I believe the owners at the time of separation were brothers Robert (who separated out the Sabian line in Canada naming it after his children) and Armand who took the Zildjian line in Massachusetts.
There is an ocean of difference between "basically no one" and "actually no one" when you only need one person in the world to do it.
The change is that when I am immersed in that scenario (on holiday and without any normal life distractions so I can truly learn about this topic), then my mind is the most curious about that topic.

The alternative is that when I return from vacation, I get back to the busy life and am only reminded of these questions in casual conversations.
Well, that elevates my paperwhite to literally perfect(for me at least). The process was smooth and now I have Koreader on it.
I cannot wait until they get into Mobile ARM and PopOS with Cosmic is a thing. Apple's quality on the hardware has [finally] returned after the War On Ports was declared over, but the software is still getting jammed with useless BS, parlor tricks, and gizmos that will be forgotten, while ignoring core stability, QOL issues, and further becoming a nanny-state. I'm ready to jump ship.
I mean if you wanna angel invest I have some backburner projects I can't get done without some funding for hardware and time spent not earning an income, which I could probably spin into startups
But what's interesting about this is that there's a tradeoff in the total computation performed by the "fully parallelized" version of this and a sequential one. Without the user knowing this, it's kind of impossible to get the optimization you want: Do you want a minimum work solution or a minimum wall-clock-time solution?

If you want a better fully parallelized one, you do this:

Repeat a few times in exponential progression on k:

Process, in parallel, the first k entries in the list (let's start with 1000). Find the min and max whose digit sums = 30.

In parallel, filter the remaining list to eliminate entries that would not improve upon the min/max thus found.

k *= 10 and repeat until done.

I would wager against the LLM identifying this solution without prompting from the user (or reading this comment).
>Apple turning a feature on by default can only possibly be a conspiracy to surreptitiously obtain training data from people’s photos?

Apple-scale companies have done far worse. It is hardly a "conspiracy" to allege Apple behaves like other companies of its ilk.

>It couldn’t just be that they think most people will want the feature?

Apple doesn't care what the end user thinks. "A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them" -Steve Jobs

>only conceivable option is a bit nuts.

I am merely suggesting it as the most likely option, not the only option.

I had the same happen with a AU insurance company that also made it hard to reach them.

I sent an email to their regulator that this company keeps sending me confidential information about one of their clients.

Does that site generate a new page for each user, or something like that? My copy seemed to have more sensible directions (it says to backup the database, remove everything, reinstall, and then restore from the backup). As someone who doesn’t work on databases, I can’t really tell if these are good instructions, and it is throwing some “there ought to be a tool for this/it is unusual to manually rm stuff” flags in the back of my head. But at least it isn’t totally silly…

Sometimes this advice of describing what something is and why you'd use it is helpful. Other times I already know what it's for and just want to use it, and don't like having to slog through descriptions that don't help with implementation. There is no universal right or wrong answer here, since it will depend on who is reading your tutorial, what their level of expertise is, and what they need.

A tutorial can provide the best of both worlds by putting the background stuff of each section in a sidebar, so the reader can easily skip it or delve more deeply if they wish.
We were piloting the new Snapdragon X Elite Surface Laptops to roll them out to our org about 3 months ago. Loved everything about it, but when it came to software... things became messy. The MSFT Office suite was great, as well as any browser of course. Then we had to make sure some older Excel plugins worked for financial users, they didn't. Had to use some workarounds. We tried our front end app Node build pipeline.. we gave up and had to put it in a container to get it to build properly. Tried a few things through the cpu emulator, it was no where near Apple's at their launch of M1. Ultimately, we had to go back to the Intel Surface Laptops. It felt like the ARM laptops were rushed about a year too early...
In enterprise land. In proof of concept land that's not quite true (but does become true if the concept works)
I guess so, but those are also all optional right? IF you would only write freehand with a ballpoint in real life then you wont use any of those menu options on-device either? IIRC the native notes app on iPad will dynamically create bullet lists, rule lines etc from your freehand typing without needing to select things.
California Jury Awards $11M in Employment Discrimination Case
Maybe I’m missing something, but this is a good thing, as it will finally allow us to fix this problem. Hear me out…

Net Neutrality was always very poorly defined from a delivery perspective in that it limited companies’ and consumers’ options.

What it should have done instead is define the word “Internet” and then say that if you advertise , say “100 Mbps Internet” speed that you cannot discriminate on any particular site or protocol by slowing or blocking.

This definition would allow telcos to offer generic internet, but then offer speed-ups to customers as options.

For instance, if you love Netflix, allow the telco to offer a higher level of service for Netflix connectivity. Or if you are a gamer, allow lower latency/higher bandwidth for things like Fortnite, etc.

I want my “internet” access to be unfettered, but I’m also willing to pay extra for service above that level for certain apps/sites.

Yes, this is simplified to fit a post on HN, but it seems the only rational way to regulate appropriately and simply, and most importantly, giving consumers what they actually want.
None of that justifies signing me up for something without my permission.
well, it depends on the size of the quantum computer. of course you can make large enough RSA keys (depends whats your security margin/assumptions) but the problem is that the size/computational increase is exponential whereas the solving speed scales polynomially.

> Even if what they claim is not completely right

It seems even this is not the case and that the show is just completely wrong.
No, it won't. Python is a scripting language that is more composable than Go or Rust and can even be optimized for inference just as well, at least in theory. LLM inference doesn't necessitate a strong type system which actually gives Python a bit of an advantage for less complex programs.

The only places where Go and Rust take the lead is optimizing the non-AI code that you write. That's still a valuable advantage, but it's not going to displace the use case for Python on it's own.
> Any argument about this is trying to redefine copyright as the right to extract the semantic or cultural value of a document. In reality the definition is already clear - no copying of a document by any means for any purpose without explicit permission.

I've studied copyright for over 20 years as an amateur, and I used to very much think this way.

And then I started reading court decisions about copyright, and suddenly it became extremely clear that it's a very nuanced discussion about whether or not the document can be copied without explicit permission. There are tons of cases where it's perfectly permissible, even if the copyright holder demands that you request permission.

I've covered this in other posts on Hacker News, but it is still my belief that we will ultimately find AI training to be fair use because it does not materially impact the market for the original work. Perhaps someone could bring a case that makes the case that it does, but courts have yet to see a claim that asserts this in a convincing way based on my reading of the cases over the past couple of years.
