Not necessarily. It depends on what language on the back end you're using and how your front end code is working. If it is making the API calls anyway then the cost should be the same, or close to the same.

Those are good points. I usually score quite high on openness [1], though I lean more introverted overall. While focusing on courage has been helpful for me, I may have overgeneralized my own experiences. Maybe my approach isn’t something everyone can take on — it certainly didn’t come naturally to me.

Small clarification: The LLM is still confabulating the short python expression string.

The execution of that expression is being carried out by a fundamentally separate set of algorithms, which do not have the same strengths or weaknesses.
This is a really odd way to test capabilities of an LLM. First, most photos of clocks are 10:10, since the training data for watches are usually set to 10:10 (in order to better sell watches etc).

Second, I don't think the photo generation aspect of chat gpt is being marketed or presented as a problem solving AI.
Joost clarified on Twitter he never asked for a fork. He was asking for reform of the current structures. Which is plain to see from his original post. Matt was the only to one to claim there was a fork forthcoming. He literally made it up.

In case there was any question about the utter pettiness of Mr Mullenweg, here's something he JUST posted in response to Joost's clarification.

I feel like Matt is one step away from hosting a telethon showing his "evidence".

He's clearly a fan of the idea that the vast majority of the public does not care about anything other than what the loudest voice in the room is saying. Say it loud, say it often. Even if what is being said is contrary to evidence, most people are not going to look at it any further.
It's an outlier to the common case: HN'ers who have kinks but feel resigned to tacitly explore them only online.

In other words, OP's action isn't orthogonal to the average HN'ers interests-- it's a healthy alternative (well realistically, supplement).
Hmm, fair, my definition certainly doesn't apply to CCD ("we do it because Google does it") - but I still maintain (as a child commenter elaborates) that there's a difference between "the reason I'm doing this is because other people do it" and "the reason I'm doing this is to achieve my given aim. I don't the exact functionality by which this leads to the aim being achieved, and I might not be able to modify this to achieve other aims - but I do know that it will get me where I want to go".

Neither is ideal - but, the latter is much less harmful IMO.
the solution is people will figure how to burn their models onto ASICs cheaply. apple model on iphone, google model on android, etc. This is tantalizing to businesses (1) you have YOUR company's model on lockdown as you see fit (2) iterations or improvements to the model mean you'll need to buy buy buy
I think you're right.

As soon as you start writing big(ger) software in Rust, its lacking ergonomics really become apparent.

.as_mut().unwrap().unwrap().as_mut().do_stuff() gets really old after a while.

And I am not convinced that borrow checking is the panacea that it's made out to be. Region-based memory management can accomplish the same safety goals (provided there's a sane concurrency model), without forcing people into manually opting into boxing and/or reference counting on a per-reference basis.

Throw into that the pain of manual lifetime management (it's not always elided, and when it needs to change, it's painful), I honestly believe it's far more reasonable to ask programmers to throw shit into two or three arenas and then go hog-wild with references than it is to expect them to deal with the tediousness of the way Rust does things.

We are just cargo-culters (no pun intended).
Nobody uses C++ modules because they are clumsy to use. D's are easy. Note: anyone is free to copy D's module design. It's the best one out there.

> I'm not sure why forward reference declarations is needed nowadays

The article gives reasons. Although they aren't necessary, they are deleterious to code layout which becomes a slave to the declaration order rather than aesthetic order.

> C++'s constexpr

is still lagging behind D's, after 17 years of development. In D, the garbage collector makes memory allocation in it trivial. Furthermore, only the path taken through a function needs to be CTFE-compatible, the path not taken does not.
My immediate question here is do other frequencies work? I'd quite enjoy learning that, for instance, listening to drum and bass loudly with headphones can restore memory in Alzheimer's. A touch unserious, but medically approved musical diets would be magnificent.
I have found that the psycho-social hazards model (popular in Australian workplaces) has had a real impact on my understanding of my own burnout.

There are a range of risk factors which, if realised in the workplace, result in an exponentially increased risk of harm to an employee. From my understanding, any workplace in which employees are routinely subjected to 2 of these hazards are required to develop and execute a plan to reduce the risks where practical.

The details of these risk factors may be found here:

Probably not, they aren't allowed to do that and don't.
This is not true in the US
This assumes anyone attempted to replicate it or otherwise pursue it. I guess the question would be where are the studies that failed to replicate it.

I have friends that work in the medical tech field. A device they started developing around 2009 is barely getting into the field now after animal trials and clinical trials around the globe. It's an extremely long process requiring a lot of capital. And you likely haven't heard of it either (it is pretty effective for treating some heart related issues).

There are plenty of animal studies that show some promise that are simply abandoned for various reasons.

All that said, I thought the hypothesis that those amyloids are the cause of Alzheimers hasn't really worked out, there were other drugs that targetted those and apparently didn't work that well.
Evolutionary origin of the mammalian outer ear
As the article writes, that forces the private leaf functions to be at the top, with the public interface at the end of the file. The normal way is the public interface at the top, and the implementation "below the fold", so to speak.

> topological order

You are correct. But its the reverse topological order, which is not the most readable ordering. One doesn't read a newspaper article starting at the bottom.
Truly. When will audiophiles get over their depression and realize we solved audio like 30 years ago? Sorry, silicon got too powerful and too good, audio was just no match.
alot of the use cases for this would have been covered by protocol designs suggested by Floyd, Jacobson and Zhang in https://www.icir.org/floyd/papers/adapt-web.pdf

but it came right at a time when the industry had kind of just stopped listening to that whole group, and it was built on multicast, which was a dying horse.

but if we had that facility as a widely implemented open standard, things would be much different and arguably much better today.

You might like Yohn's PicoCSS. It encourages semantic HTML everything is ready for you out of the box and he added some features that give it a little Bootstrap utility feel.

https://yohn.github.io/PicoCSS/

The "secret" to using these types of CSS is:

```css
@import url("/css/pico.min.css") layer;
```

This makes it so there is no usage of `!important` anytime you need to make your own CSS and it would normally be difficult because of the base CSS library you are using.

It's nice having everything working out of the box and when I need to override anything it's easy peasy.

> Did you understood that one method was better than the other?

No, I'm accusing the authors of implying this.

> To me it's just different way of using Wikipedia. I'm more of a busybody myself, but I can do hyperfocused dive ('hunter', which to me seems more positive) on specific subjects when needed. I often go out of Wikipedia in that case though (I use it to find links mostly)

Same.

Check this out:

> The researchers cite three main hypotheses driving the associations between information-seeking approaches and equality.
>
> “One is that it’s possible that countries that have more inequality also have more patriarchal structures of oppression that are constraining the knowledge production approaches to be more Hunter-like,” says Bassett. “Countries that have greater equality, in contrast, are open to a diversity of ideas, and therefore a diversity of ways that we’re engaging in the world. This is more like the busybody—the one that’s moving between ideas in a very open-minded way.”

https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/studying-wikipedia-browsing...

Terms like "equality" and "diversity" are afforded to the busybodies while "patriarchy", "oppression" and "constrained" are given to the hunters. I think that this conveys plenty about which method is seen as more virtuous than the other.

The same style of thought is given in the initial quote that I pulled:

> In countries with higher education levels and greater gender equality, people browsed more like busybodies. In countries with lower scores on these variables, people browsed like hunters. Bassett hypothesizes that “in countries that have more structures of oppression or patriarchal forces, there may be a constraining of knowledge production that pushes people more toward this hyperfocus.”

I reckon that we can agree that "gender equality" is considered a virtue in Liberal thought.

I don't want to get all worked up and (further?) expose my own ignorance, but my own hunch that this that this study while interesting on the surfaced is backed by a kind of cultural "woo" science for scientific Americans. I earnestly pity the actual scientists who may try to decipher those multi-graph figures of swirly things and pretty colors.

OpenStreetMap Utah 2024 Year in Review Utah
Here's the thing (which you probably knew going in).. Generative AI is quite well-known to be terrible at drawing specific times on clock faces.

This is down to the training data. It has been trained on a huge amount of images.

That includes advertising. For whatever reason, wrist watch manufacturers have a tendency to set watches to 10:10 in ads, almost without exception. Perhaps it's just a nice-looking time, or it's good for comparison purposes.

Simply Google "wrist watch" and you'll see.

So, these generative models have a huge bias towards 10:10 on clock faces, because that's what all the clocks they've been trained on look like.
Gemini agent in Colab to automate data analysis
I would love to have an RSS interface where I can republish articles to a number of my own feeds (selectively or automatically). Then I can follow some my friends' republished feeds.

I feel like the "one feed" approach of most social platform is not here to benefit users but to encourage doom-scrolling with FOMO. It would be a lot harder for them to get so much of users' time and tolerance for ads if it were actually organized. But it seems to me that there might not be that much work needed to turn an RSS reader into a very productive social platform for sharing news and articles.
It is still his property though because he still effectively owns and controls the trademark, despite making efforts to make it appear that he does not.

That's literally what Jack Welch did with General Electric in the 80s and 90s, and all the Boomers loved him for it. And yes, PE firms do it all the time as well - it's actually pretty rare for PE to acquire a large company that is actually failing. More often, it's one that is doing OK but not great. A good example is Toys R Us. Net earnings were around $100M in 2004 when PE bought it out and ruined it.
One of the nice things about growing up in Texas is that I 100% know what being the target of state-sponsored propaganda feels like. The extra cool thing is that almost all the propaganda is pretty easy to refute and it is easy to access alternative (and IME more historically correct points of views) which aren't supressed by the state.

That makes it a lot easier to understand the claim that folks often make, that any system is "propaganda free" when disagreements can be publicly stated with no governmental reprisal, is trivially false.

At the same time, it's been pleasantly horrific to look at how objectively bad the reflexive assumptions most of my cohort hold about the world and then try to draw conclusions about how terrible and mistaken my own views have and probably continue to be.

Thanks, Texas!

They are excellent. I have a few of these with Intel Core i5-7500t and Core i7-7700t (both 35W TDP), with either 65W or 90W powerbricks, each with 32GB and varying SSDs.

Excellent because of the quality of their BIOS/Firmware. You can throw anything at them, and it just runs without errors.

Is Florence terrible?
Yeah... no.

Constexpr function evaluation sounds like a great idea until you start trying to use it, and get surprised when seemingly-constexpr-safe functions aren't constexpr. Or, you tweak one function and suddenly all your fancy compile-time unit tests explode.

Ok, so you get around that with good code hygiene and by limiting the complexity of your constexpr functions... in other words, do the exact things we already do with preprocessor macros.

Alternatively, you add a constexpr keyword to the lang, but now we have red functions and blue functions. Great.

In another language, there'd still be an argument for the type-safety that would precipitate from constexpr function eval, but this is C we're talking about.

How about container_of? Could we please standardize that already? Why is this crucial and immensely useful macro a thing we all copy-paste from that one page on kernel.org?
IMO:

Workflows = automations that use LLMs (or a sequence of LLM calls) at some point. Eg. "Classify this input and respond with JSON"

Is Siri or Google Assistant an "agent"? I would say no it's basically an LLM with function calling. Eg. "What's the weather -> uses predefined weather api"

Agents would need to be able to self integrate, which is impossible without giving them full computer use or admin permissions - which creates massive security risks nobody seems to be talking about.
The odd thing about working in an office for global companies like JPMorgan is that so many daily interactions happen with colleagues who are in a different location and/or timezone. Remote communication is part and parcel of the setup so much more than many/most other companies.

The associated benefits of being in a company owned location are almost negligible, at least in the areas I've experienced. Having worked in these types of companies almost all meetings are online anyway even if some of the people are sitting close by, not all are.
I can do that with JSON too. I was hoping MessagePack would have built-in functionality to do it.
Spin doctoring at a big corporate is very different from what the author is referring to, which sounds like a conspiracy theory that economists, their data, and influential business people are lying to us about the economy.

Even the biggest, richest companies that everybody wants to work for are clumsy and just generally awful at spin-doctoring. It's usually only a handful (like 5 or less) of people at the top doing it, it's usually obvious, and in the worst cases people generally reframe things and omit/hide data rather than tell blatant lies or commit actual fraud. You're right that I did see that up close, coming from real human beings.

That's why I find it laughably absurd to think that hundreds of rank-and-file economists and hundreds of thousands of analysts, government workers, investors, business owners, and politicians (on both sides) could deceptively pull off some smoke-and-mirrors charade for decades on the actual state of the economy. And even more absurd is that this scheme is unravelling because burnt out people are musing on the Internet about how much they hate their job and work in general, rather than actual economists/investors/analysts examining the numbers and finding a discrepancy.

I agree that unfulfilling work is rampant but this conspiratorial framing of "my job sucks" is just crazy. There is no secret puppetmaster engineering society to keep you working a bad job. Sometimes your job just sucks. And the people with influential positions in society are just trying to do their job (or the one they want next) and go home too, they're not hyper-competent double agents working night and day to make sure redditors don't get too close to uncovering it all.
Oh, that’s not a genocide, if that’s what they think it is they should look the definition.

Show HN: Diva Copilot – generate synth presets with plain English
Hey guys! I just finished building the first version of a tool I think a lot of Diva fans will enjoy a lot. It's called Diva Copilot. It's basically ChatGPT but for generating .h2p file presets for Diva. You type the description of the sound you want and Diva Copilot generates the preset file for you. You can download the file from the dashboard from anywhere you want. The preset quality is actually super good for the v1 of the product. I've built a custom RAG system that integrates with OpenAI, so that's why results are orders of magnitude better than what you get from something like ChatGPT directly.

I've got a good number of ideas for making it even better coming down the line, so I'd love to start getting some feedback on what people think. The landing page has some preset examples I generated and uploaded to SoundCloud, and now that the V1 is done I'm working on a demo track + a tutorial video. I'll also be uploading more cool presets I've generated lately just to have more examples.

I'm starting out with a free trial that includes 10 free presets + a monthly/yearly plan that includes 50 presets a month + the ability to buy on-demand credits.

I hope you guys enjoy it. All feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Interesting you brought that up. I implemented them for Symantec C and C++ back in the 90s.

I never want to do that again!

They are brittle and a maintenance nightmare. They did speed up compilations, though, but did not provide any semantic advantage.

With D I focused on fast compilation so much that precompiled headers didn't offer enough speedup to make them worth the agony.
