Thanks. What really confused me was that I thought I would find structures such as a jump table for different keywords in BASIC, but instead I found a jump table for opcodes, starting from 0202A0: 000211B4.

You mentioned this is actually a JIT-based interpreter, so I figured this is actually a VM with an IR, which uses this jump table. Still, I'm wondering where is the code for the frontend? I have written a couple of simple dispatch interpreter myself so would love to see the asm code for the frontend (not that the backend is not interesting, but simply because I have never written one in C so do not have the skill to recognize the asm code).

But anyway, thanks for the link. I never used an ST before but will try it out. It is a bit sad that he never got enough $$ from this product and he said in a newsletter that "I don't have a business license or manuals -- most of them are in Santa Fe's municipal land fill".

Regarding the manual I also tried to search on z-lib and libgen but sadly did not find any. But I did find some posts on certain ST forums so I'm sure it is not as rare as I think -- and the manual is most likely just for DBASIC programming, not explaining the implementation of DBASIC, so I can just use the example programs as references.
Show HN: Autochat, Build AI Agents Using Python Functions
Hi HN,

Over the past few weeks/months, I’ve been working on Autochat, a lightweight Python library designed to make building AI agents simple and intuitive.

The focus of Autochat is simplicity:

- Extend an AI assistant's functionality by adding Python functions directly, or even class.

- Hide all the complexities/particularities of the providers (openai, anthropic, …)

I’d love your feedback on this. If you’ve got ideas for features, use cases, or critiques, let me know!
I suppose OP could have found an article that focuses more on the Blender aspect. Though, that still relies on the article to have a title relevant to HN. Personally, I am okay with what OP did.
I feel like there is a middle ground which is being excluded. I'm leaning towards alpine.js or similar lightweight JS frameworks which have better ergonomics than react or plain JS. Webcomponents also without Vue or React are a nice solution.
Whenever I wanted to buy stock images, I was shocked how expensive they were. I usually didn't intend to use them straight up commercially, but I felt like I should pay for somebodies work to produce these images. The prices were too steep though.

Unsplash was a God-sent. High quality images with only attribution requirements, which I was happy to give anyways. But Unsplash was bought by Shutterstock and became "kinda free" with the good stuff being paywalled. And now Shutterstock merges with Getty, two of the biggest players in the space.

Frankly, I am quite convinced this is bad for end-users. The space is already enshittified by all the AI junk. So I fully expect quality to go down and prices to go up after this merger.
US Amazon isn't like that, but iphones and short supply GPUs aren't widely available anyway. Apple controls where you can buy an iPhone and NVidia controls who gets GPUs.
Alcohol free beer is nice, what I don't get is alcohol free spirits. Above a certain alcohol content, the burning sensation caused by the alcohol is part of the experience of drinking it, and that can't be replicated without alcohol. So alcohol-free gin is maybe good for cocktails, but does anybody really drink it in its pure form?
I hope they call the merged company "gutterstock"
Larger models are more expensive to run (ceteris paribus). But we're seeing we can squeeze more performance from smaller models.

You need to compare like-for-like. You can't say that the cost of building a 5-story apartment is increasing by pointing at the burj khalifa.
Looks really nice. Any similar projects in Rust?
Good idea, more focus on buy for life type products would definitely be a good change.
I wonder what your criteria are for including products? Are there different categories/scales of how bfl certain products are?
A little bit more info in this direction I think would be a good addition
Yes, but is it necessary? Does it make any difference? This isn’t an interactive learning process anyway, just put an audiobook player next to your BabyVat9000 for an equivalent result.
Just curious why do you think the shift to PPC ruined the classic Mac? I never owned a Mac before but I did buy an iBook G4 because I somehow got fascinated by the PPC machines.

Agree, I bought an iPad recently and was really confused by pricings between the iPad (10 I think), the iPad Air and iPad Mini

It makes sense but it’s not obvious
I just always assumed middle management purpose is to insulate upper management from any bad consequences of the actual business.

Like there is a dispersion process of responsibility of the actual business as you go up the chain so if you have enough layers you can basically free roll as an upper manager with taking credit for the good outcomes while the bad was just shitty middle management.

It is an investment by upper manager to free roll.
Ah. Old and tired (false) equivalence of "alcohol free beer is like sex with a fake woman", or whatever alcoholics used to say.

That should finally put arguments that Blender would not be "production ready" to rest.

Although to be fair, Blender did awesome jumps in capability in recent time. Love the tool, I wish them the best. Certainly a deserved success.

For a gaming company it should also be the tool of choice because user content still is part of the most successful games. There are many arguments to revisit your toolchain if you do not yet use Blender.
I saw that. But I don't think it has bearing on zig comptime.

zig generates a compile error when you try to pass a non-conforming type to a generic function that places conditions/restrictions on that type (such as by calling a certain predicate on instances of that type).

It's probably important to note that parametricity is a property of specific solution spaces, and not really in the ultimate problem domain (writing correct and reliable software for specific contexts), so isn't necessarily meaningful here.
As it's already been reported in this comment section, at a seemingly random stage of the game when it's the player to move, an error caused by an illegal move is triggered. Happened to me twice already in the opening.
Once for a King's knight move to f3 and once for a simple pawn move as follows: 1.Nc3(b1c3) Nc6(b8c6) 2.g3(g2g3) g6(g7g6) 3.Bg2(f1g2) Bg7(f8g7) 4.e3(e2e3) Bxc3(g7c3) 5.bxc3(b2c3) a6(a7a6) 6.c4(c3c4) a5(a6a5) 7.Ne2(g1e2) a4(a5a4) 5.a3(a2a3) saying a2a3 is illegal.

Creative approach. Very impressive if it'd work, but you cannot finish the game, because it doesn't recognize the moves properly. The program understanding and strength is poor, but it was to be expected and it's beyond the point of this intellectual exercise, I guess.
>Restaurants is a few places where a tablet is a godsend. Children aren't always involved in adults conversations, so they get (obviously) bored at the table. A tablet guarantees some time off to the parents.

as a fellow restaurant patron : I don't care that your kid is bored or if you can't afford a baby-sitter -- what I do care about is listening to the latest baby shark or whatever other youtube-brainrot-babysitter-program blaring near me while I'm trying to eat my linguini.

When I was younger if you brought a loud/obnoxious kid to dinner at a restaurant it was a sign that either you were inexperienced as parents or too poor to afford a baby-sitter (which then raises questions about eating out..), or otherwise didn't give a fuck about appearances or anyone else near you.

Also : not all kids are bored by what adults are doing, and a big part of getting good at those kind of conversations and 'adult actions' later in life is fueled by social mimicry and third party practice; to dismiss all children from such activities by directing their attention towards whatever the closest thing that minimizes parenting time and effort is , imo, likely damaging.

But, at the end of the day I gotta throw my arms up and say "Well, i'm not a parent." -- but it just seems obvious to me as a bystander that this level of forced autonomy and independence for smaller children reduces any chance that a kid will say "Mom, what does that word you just used mean?" and actually learn something from a novel experience. It reduces the amount the kids will read the faces of strangers and make social decisions. It reduces the chance that a kid will make a social faux pas slip and require corrections preventing it in the future.

It does, however, keep a kid busy , often annoying everyone else, while you gossip. I'm not sure that's supposed to be the end goal here.
> It's impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says […] 'I love Amazon; I just wish you'd deliver a little more slowly.' Impossible.

Bezos said impossible, but he was wrong about this. Because they sometimes spontaneously change delivery dates to be sooner, this can mean you have to be available on every day until a product arrives to avoid a "sorry we missed you" letter followed by needing to go to wherever the collection office is.

Reliable delivery can beat fast. And for those of us not able to work from home, scheduled delivery for when we're in, also beats fast. And if we have several different things all in the same order, where we need all the parts to make use of any of them, simultaneous delivery is marginally more convenient than each item being shipped as soon as it's available.
Major versions that change basically everything should be considered different projects and require a re-review. I remember I did this early with react-router, and I think when they changed the public API for the second time, we forked it and left it as-is, because they made their goals apparent.

If Svelte version 4 and 5 are very different, then they're "SvelteV4" and "SvelteV5", both on version 1.0.0, in my mind :)
I've watched the videos and agree that the OPA2323 does appear to sound amazing by subjective comparison to the TL071.

However, it's not enough to say that it costs ~8.7x as much in local tokens because that doesn't reflect how much it costs as a percentage of the other components around it, many of which have a more profound impact on the outcome. This wouldn't stand as a good argument except that in many devices, you have a ceiling for how much your total BOM can cost before you've priced yourself out of competition.

In the end, a 8.7x cost bump is a lot to swallow for a feature that most consumers are physically incapable of distinguishing between. Every time I've raised the possibility of using the fancy new chips, vastly more experienced engineers than me have come out of the woodwork to tell me that in almost all scenarios, the tradeoff between price and quality isn't worth it.

Of course, if budget is not an issue, use the OPA2323. It really does sound great. Or more accurately, the degree to which it destroys good sound is as low as we can currently achieve.

(This comment originally stated a 12x factor, but I was terrible at math.)
From the text_to_sql example: [0]

My question: "Which waiter got second most total money from tips? create a jpeg with a bar chart of the total tips for each waiter."

Step 0 included a correct sql query.
Step 1 included python code with matplotlib, which failed because matplotlib was not in the allowed imports. The system then pivoted to another python script which printed a bar plot with ## characters.

Final answer: The waiter with the second most total tips is Corey Johnson

The Jetson Orin Dev Kit is squarely aimed at being a dev kit for those using the Jetson module in production edge compute (robotic vision and the like). The only reason it's so well known in tech circles is "SBC syndrome" where people get excited about what they think they could do with it and then 95% end up in a drawer a year later because it what it's actually good at is unrelated to why they bought it.

This is more accurately a descendant of the HPC variants like the article talks about - intentionally meant to actually be a useful entry level for those wanting to do or run general AI work better than a random PC would have anyways.

I think if they did, they’d sell less of it. Consumers would associate the cheaper price with a poorer quality product (most are probably not directly aware of the amount of duty they’re paying or even that they are). The whole goal of non alcoholic beer is to make it feel as much as a real beer as possible. A big price disparity would create more of a difference.

I enjoyed the film without knowing much about it and then my jaw dropped when I saw Blender in the credits.
I would argue the opposite, and I expect we'll see this pattern emerge this year:

- Companies pushing "agentic" capabilities into everything

- AI agents gaining expanded function calling abilities

- Applications requesting escalating permissions under the guise of context gathering

- Software development increasingly delegated to AI agents

- Non-developers effectively writing code through tools like Devin

The resulting security attack surface is absolutely massive.

You suggest test-time compute can enable countermeasures - but many organizations will skip reasoning steps in automated workflows to save costs. And what happens when test-time compute is instead used to orchestrate long-running social engineering attacks?

"Hey, could you ask Devin to temporarily disable row-level security? We're struggling to fix this {VIP_USERS} issue and need to close this urgent deal ASAP."

I've looked at frameworks X-platform applications and came to the conclusion that the best choices were: (1) web-based (maybe Electron) and (2) JavaFX.

For instance I developed an "image sorter" (really an everything sorter) that I regularly use on desktop and a tablet. I run it on my desktop machine and use Tailscale to use it on the go. The other day I thought I might try it on the Meta Quest 3 and it "just worked"; it could use a little enlargement of UI targets in accordance with Fitt's law but it works great now and with a little customization but being surrounded with three huge windows already feels halfway to "minority report"

In a world where web-based apps are effortlessly portable to platforms I wasn't even thinking about, it's hard to justify any investment in an application that doesn't have those wings.

Also since 2010 or so CSS and HTML have evolved with application development in mind whereas desktop frameworks aren't really moving forwards. Microsoft seems to be churning them just to churn.
I imagine that with native tokens for planning and reflection empowering the models I'm referring to, it is something like a search space where we've enabled new reasoning capabilities by allowing multiple progressions of gradient descent that leverage partial success in ways that weren't previously possible. Lipstick or not, this is a new pig.

Just being able to hold a drink in your hand as social cover is part of what you’re buying. At a Christmas party, you just want to have what appears to be the peppermint Christmas-themed drink in your hand like everyone else, even if you’re pregnant or don’t drink for whatever reason. People will stop asking if they can get you a drink. Not everyone buying an NA drink cares about perfectly emulating the sensation of alcohol entering the body.
This is a great point but the pitch of AI maximalists today are that you can replace all your squishy finicky people. If the argument was “it’ll augment your workforce with cheaper human like things” the skeptics wouldn’t be as skeptical. The argument is instead “it’ll replace your workforce with superhumans”.
> You should consider what won’t change, and the following is a (non-exhaustive) list of things that I think won’t change: I believe AI is and will continue to gain intelligence

I think this is a miss-representation of what he meant. Given that AI will be capable and prevalent (cheap intelligence) what are the factors that remain constant? He goes a lot into demand for physical things, like resources and/or supply chain, which is true. If anyone can relatively easily create a digital service then those with capital and physical resources will have bigger moat.

I personally think what will happen with the demand for digital services with intelligence being cheap.
It's a tradeoff. Advanced generic programming as implemented in many other languages requires you to learn a completely new language. That new language is better suited for some use cases. Functions that take types and return types, on the other hand, can be more intuitive in other cases.

I remember the same happening in Poland ca. 15-20 years ago (I’m not sure if that’s still the case).

Another way of sneaking in alcohol into ads relied on linguistic jokes, e.g.:

You’ll get an ad telling people that Bols (a vodka brand) sponsored a boat with the same name.

In Polish łódka Bols (the Bols boat, /wootkah/) sounds almost the same as wódka Bols (Bols vodka /vootkah/). Given the stronger association between the word Bols and vodka it requires a conscious effort not to hear the implied word vs what is actually spoken.

Sinister, but gotta admire the chutzpah.

3. Alternatives to Google Sheets, including Airtable and more on the way.

Alcohol is the unknown killer, not talked enough in health and part of so many complications, I'm happy to see this now a bigger business. I'm not really seeing these products over here but hope it gets more traction. To anyone touched by this, great news can only come from it.

It's funny, because authors of those images (at least on Shutterstock) get basically nothing (like ten cents for photo, iirc).
