Graalvm native image for Clojure is a solved problem. Just add this library to the project and add a flag to native image command line.

https://github.com/clj-easy/graal-build-time

This initializes Clojure classes at build time and it mostly works for pure Clojure code.

Doing complicated things (e.g. depending on native library, etc.) requires some tweaking. For example, a few packages may need to be declared as initialized at build time or run time, depending what they are doing. And any unresolved classes need to be added to reflection-config.json.

All these are easily discoverable if one talks to people in the Clojurian slack channels. Clojure is a small community, so it helps to be part of it, because there are not a lot of open materials on the Web.
Cool resource.

Took me a bit to find it, so for anyone curious:

I regularly use several features within ChatGPT that are well beyond a chat window. Advanced Voice, DALL-E integration, Projects, and GPTs (mostly a couple private ones I created for my own use). There are other features that I don't use, like Canvas. Perhaps the sum of these still isn't an impressive product in your eyes, but it's surely more than just a chat window.
This is nice, will allow for some quick prototyping of game ideas without having to build assets first.
If your looking to write CLI utilities in Clojure babashka really is awesome. It doesn't meet the author's standalone binary requirement, but it's got great startup time and comes batteries included with all sorts of helpful tools.
Made this to help create simple text icons. I'm actively working on it and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions!
Trump is putting the sanctions on anyway

In fact, you can imagine a blockade of Taiwan being introduced to enforce Chinese sanctions that are levied in direct response to American sanctions etc. that could well be the escalation path that china chooses
This is that recency bias thing in action. Constant surprising technological progress of the sort we've seen for the last century or two is unprecedented and not at all the sort of thing that is suitable for long term planning. I usually wouldn't bother pointing that out, but there are two points I really want to emphasise as wildly optimistic:

> Humans are self-regulating: fertility rates drop as resources become scarce (e.g. people are less likely to have children when struggling to meet basic needs)

We didn't have birth control until the 20th century and it is mostly used by people who, historically speaking, are living with resources far in excess of their basic needs. Traditionally the self regulation was that people were born then the ones that couldn't eat enough to survive died.

And there is a pretty high risk of not finding stable equilibrium. The logistic map isn't a totally crazy model and displays some rather chaotic behaviour [0]. In practice that looks like a lot of famines.

> ... markets innovate in response to scarcity ...

Markets have existed forever, usually the innovative response to food scarcity was, once again, people starving to death. It is hard to underline just how weird the Green Revolution is. Obviously a great time to be alive but it is not a normal thing in the human experience.

Would be cool if @openai built a mode where 4o voice mode interviewed you for context until it determines it has what it needs then it feeds a structured output into o1 and helps decide what level of reasoning you need

This is a genius idea for how we can all leverage these models much better. We need to use chatty AIs to help us prompt reasoning models in the right way so the average person can get the benefits
Why? Not everyone is resume grifting. It is fast, solid and has excellent developer workflows. Lot of stable (oh no, no updates for 10 years because it just works!) libraries. With CLOG it is a nice secret weapon with people wondering how you managed to move that fast. At least in our experience but we make products so we don't have to explain what it is made of or why.
It’s a nice idea that you’re going to help the boundary of human knowledge expand but I don’t think infinite progress is the right model.

All the evidence shows that fields are completely ignorant of each other and reinvent the basic solutions. This coincides with the theory that cohorts of experts develop expertise which is not transferrable.

Watch as ML rediscovers harmonic analysis while awarding plenty of Phds to those involved.

Rediscovery is a great thing. You bring new meaning and context. I’s just not “expanding circle of knowledge”

More likely is you will dig further down the track of the fads your advisor is into. The trend will be forgotten in a few decades, with a small change of unforeseen utility later. And its contribution will be to your personal life.

The model proposed is also lacking in ambition because historically PhDs were significant.
Is not a wrapper, it's a whole new engine.
Yup, I did an experiment a long time ago, where I wanted best of 2. I had Wizard, Mistral & Llama. They would generate responses and I would pass the response to all 3 models to vote. I would pass it in to a new prompt without reference to previous prompt, 95%+ of the time, they all voted for their own response even when it was clear there was a better response. LLM as a judge is a joke.
The proper way is not exporting implementation details at all, instead define opaque types in your header files like this: `typedef struct ssl_st SSL;`. This comes from OpenSSL, it means users can use `SSL *` pointers, but they don't know what those pointers point to.

Of course you can also have internal header-files within your own project, which you don't share with the end-users of your product.
The scalpers are trying to arbitrage the difference in price between the prices bought directly from suppliers and those on the open secondary market.
increasing the retail price doesn't increase the price on the secondary market, it just lowers the margin of scalpers.
Sam Altman failed upwards only because PG likes him. Aaron Swartz was actually a technical genius imo. DOJ never should of charged Swartz.

Oh man. Heavy stuff. Our industry will be looked at as good or bad? I hope we end up doing good for the world.
I have been working with Clojure for 5+ years now. For CLI applications babashka has worked quite well for us.

Would love to know more about the problems you faced.

In my experience whenever I faced such issues - it has been because I am not using it well.

For CLOS kind of things I have found https://github.com/camsaul/methodical library quite well and the performance is better than default multimethods in core clojure implementation.
I don't think the elephant can be solved by a tweak to LLMs. Producing a statistically-likely continuation of a pattern is what they do; there is no encoding of the world, just an encoding of language and image data.

A general crossing of that gap is, dare I say it, a problem requiring real intelligence.
Android works like this. It's linux based and runs every app as its own user. On top of that it adds SELinux and many other isolation strategies.

> you are getting tripped up & confused

Slow down there. You suggested I compared 2021 and 2022. Look more closely and you will see that I have compared 2012 to 2022.

> why this is entirely predictable

2012 (12 years ago): 41.1%

2013 (11 years ago): 42.4%

2014 (10 years ago): 40.2%

2015 ( 9 years ago): 40.4%

2016 ( 8 years ago): 41.4%

2017 ( 7 years ago): 41.5%

2018 ( 6 years ago): 41.1%

2019 ( 5 years ago): 34.4% *

2020 ( 4 years ago): 32.8% *

2021 ( 3 years ago): 39.2%

2022 ( 2 years ago): 49.7%

So now that I've done the work for you, you can also see your assertion is not correct, yes?
No my argument was based on the fact that Microsoft themselves were going to release Windows 11 as Windows 10X and decided at the last minute to rebrand it.

That my friend is what we call a fact.

Just because you don't like being wrong doesn't mean you arent, and resorting to calling me childish for arguing with me reflects more on you than it does on me.
The "what if you don't have the software" argument doesn't hold water for me. What if you don't have git? What if you don't have a text editor? What if you don't have a filesystem?

Most programming language communities are okay with expecting a certain amount of (modern) tooling, and C can't rely on legacy to remain relevant forever...

BAHHAHAH! So…you mean React. If I hear the word hook as if it alone can solve complexity in web dev one more time I’ll…eh, I’ll do nothing actually. But my point still stands. React solves asynchronous event driven behavior well, but that’s all. Everything else in React projects is, well, everything else.

It’s more enough for gaming.

Buy their datacenter GPU if you need more VRAM.
For one Sam scraped under the veil of a corporation which helps reduce or remove personal liability.

Second, if the crime was the act of scraping then it’s directly comparable. But if the crime is publishing the data for free, that’s quite different from training AI to learn from the data while not being able to reproduce the exact content.

“Probabilistic plagiarism” is not what’s happening or even aligned with the definition of plagiarism (which matters if we’re talking about legal consequences). What’s happening is that it’s learning patterns from the content that it can apply to future tasks.

If a human reads all that content then gets asked a question about a paper, they too would imperfectly recant what they learned.
Meta's entire business model is to own users and their content.

Whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. their focus is to acquire users, keep them in their platforms, and own their content - because /human attention is fundamentally valuable/.

Meta owns 40% of the most popular social media platforms today, but their attention economies face great threats: YouTube, TikTok, Telegram, WeChat, and many more threaten to unseat them every year.

Most importantly, the quality of content on these platforms greatly influences their popularity. If Meta can accelerate AI development in all forms, then it means the content quality across all apps/platforms can be equalized - video on YouTube or TikTok will be no more high quality than on Facebook or Instagram. Messages on Threads will be no more engaging than that on Twitter. Their recent experiments with AI generated profiles[0] signals this is the case.

Once content quality - and luring creators to your platform - are neutralized as business challenges that affect end users lurking on the platform and how effectively they can be retained, then it becomes easier for Meta to retain any user that enters their platforms and gain an effective attention monopoly without needing to continue to buy apps that could otherwise succeed theirs.

And so, it is in their benefit to give away their models 'for free', 'speed up' the industry's development efforts in general, de-risk other companies surpassing their efforts, etc.

Word. I was mostly just making a joke about FarmVille— the classic engagement-vampire facebook game.
Hard to say when there is a profit motive for all industries. Seems like every industry at the moment is not really looking for human advancement, or maybe it is looking at advancing but only if the results are expensive for end users and efficient/proprietary for the company.
1080p is enough for the masses and even a $200 used GPU can run most recent games smoothly at native resolution
> Knowledge is power. Random bullshit ideas isn't.

Every proven idea started as a random bullshit idea. No one in this thread is presenting their ideas as definitive solutions as far as I see, everyone is being pretty good about providing their confidence levels and sources.

This is a whole philosophical rabbit hole about advertising and free will in general, it's not specific to OP's case so I don't really want to get into it, that discussion is better had on Reddit or some other HN thread.

As for the rest, I think this other commenter said it better than I can: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42657251
Many aircraft, mostly numbers had similar systems.
Well, local people probably care about economic development and don’t give a rat’s ass about astronomy. So the question becomes, who’s going to compensate for the loss of economic development? (By local I don’t mean strictly local, in case of counter arguments along the line that there are no/very few local people to begin with.)

Disclosure: I’m a former physicist and I have personally operated an optical telescope with a 15’ dome, as well as a 60’ radio telescope, which probably puts me among 0.01% of world’s population. So I do know a thing or two and care about astronomy.
Maybe C should do that, but it won't. So why complain? Just work with the language as it is

Point of interest: the infamous tulare lake.

A massive[note 1] lake that does not exist any more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulare_Lake

And not on this map(for two reasons), the salton sea, a massive lake that did not exist yet. the other reason it is not on this map, besides not existing yet, is the map does not cover that corner of the state.

1. in surface area, not volume, my understanding is it was really a sort of deep swamp.

Ask HN: Staying Focused on the Meaningful Stuff?
I want to start a business because I think capitalism might be a great way to accomplish big, meaningful things, but I keep feeling like I'm getting obsessed with money and missing the point. How do you guys stay focused on the bigger picture?
That’s also my feeling. There’s a space for something that has some of the same goals as Usenet while also learning from the past.

I don’t think it’s a fruitful or useful comment to say something is “like Usenet” as a dismissal. So what if it is? It was useful as hell when it wasn’t terrible.
In the photo there are some other faces that I think I might recognise, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a list of everyone in the picture somewhere on the internet?

this is faulty logic. you are taking two overlapping issues and framing them as an either/or. matt could easily have removed the conflict interest while not "giving up" on wordpress and continuing to contribute. it's about anticipating any future issues that could arise through governance, not that matt should just stop working on wordpress altogether.

so yes, absolutely WP would be in a better place now had he just removed that aspect of his involvement. by 2010 WP was an ecosystem that was more than just the founder. and ben cook isn't just "some guy".

and more historical context if you want to see what happened to mr. cook and the pattern of retaliation by matt.

https://web.archive.org/web/20231004222821/https://wpblogger...

the funny thing is i didn't even really care about who ran WP since a few months ago, but due to all the drama u can easily dig this stuff up now and it's not pretty.
There isn't a lot of technical information in the Bloomberg article but I found this info from Tom's Hardware:

Deepseek trained its DeepSeek-V3 Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671 billion parameters using a cluster containing 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs in just two months, which means 2.8 million GPU hours, according to its paper. For comparison, it took Meta 11 times more compute power (30.8 million GPU hours) to train its Llama 3 with 405 billion parameters using a cluster containing 16,384 H100 GPUs over the course of 54 days.

Imagine complaining about none of them.

Also, being a victim is by definition a waste of time because you didn't ask to be a victim. You can be a victim and quietly take it, letting it perpetuate and condemning both your future self and those you care about, or you can be a victim and fight back, refuse to take it, and defend your future self and those you care about.

This behavior is that of a bully and abuser. Bullies and abusers will only listen to a slap in the face, not to quiet submission.
I'm a contractor because I work remotely for a foreign company, and they denied me paid holidays with this argument. The cost of vacation is proportional to worked hours. There's a lot of questionable math in HR land though.

I could see maybe the argument against this because of paid accounts in remote systems: google suite, office 365, bamboo, github, etc. compared to reduced use, but they set those up anyway for other people in the company who don't use them (non-devs, etc) and I don't believe the cost per user is significant.

Do you mean tax costs? AFAIK typically country requirements for benefits are proportional to time worked, so part timers don't get all the benefits. Which benefits are you talking about specifically?
> Sure, if you live in a country with submodern infrastructure

Sam Altman wouldn't spend a second reflecting about this.
think you're grossly misunderstanding what social safety net means - public spending is not the same thing as a safety net. the public healthcare system that countries like Gemrnay have is an example of a social safety net.
I love the visuals - they are fantastic at showing the difference.

If the visuals were vertical then the filtering might look more natural because time would be left-to-right and balls would have natural gravity and fall "down" through filters? Code runs top to bottom so I'm guessing it would still be clear.

And putting a number in each of the balls might help clarity too :-)

The only crazy thing is that Haskell lazy is pull (right) whereas Ruby lazy is still push - so the lazy keyword is somewhat confusing but that can't be fixed.

I am not criticising and certainly don't want to make unnecessary work for you. Graphic design and animation are dark arts!

Hey, so we do have some guardrails which stops from creating workouts which are realistically impossible. I agree that a personal trainer helps you master the technique, but the idea of hitt.ai is to be available 24x7 to not only create workouts, but to discuss anything about fitness like nutritional plan, and much more.

Yes we do have gifs/videos for all exercises showcasing the correct form and detailed instruction.

We live on iOS but under closes testing on Android.
To download the app on Android you need to follow these 2 steps
1. Join this tester google group - https://groups.google.com/g/hittaiapptesters
2. Enroll and Download the app from Play Store - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hitt

Let me know your feedback. Ciao!
No, that's Jessica Livingston, the cofounder of YC.
Hey HN! Excited to share my new App.

I built hitt.ai to solve the common gym challenges we all face: planning effective workouts, tracking progress, and knowing when to adjust our routines.

What makes hitt.ai different? It's built with AI-first capabilities at its core. Think of it as having a personal trainer in your pocket who creates workout plans, reviews your performance, and discusses anything fitness-related – just like a human trainer would. The best part? It's 50x cheaper than a human personal trainer and available 24/7 (because let's face it, AIs don't need protein shakes or rest days ).

Key features:

- AI-powered workout planning that adapts to your goals and progress - Smart logging system that remembers your exercises and patterns - Personalized recommendations based on your performance - Detailed progress tracking and analytics - Chat with your AI trainer about any fitness topic, anytime

The app is now live Download from App Store - https://apps.apple.com/in/app/hitt-ai-ai-personal-trainer/id...

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback! I'm actively developing new features and your input would help shape the app's future.
Someone on the NCSA Mosaic team had a similar idea, but after they left nobody remaining knew what to do with it or how it worked.

It took me 20 years to decide maybe they were right. A bunch if Reddits more tightly associated with a set of websites and users than with a centralized ad platform would be fairly good - if you had browser support for handling the syndicated comments. You could have one for your friends or colleagues, one for watchdog groups to discuss their fact checking or responses to a new campaign by a troublesome company.
