My knowledge is mostly from living in an area where most addicts were heroin or other downer drugs. While there were a few who had problems with coke and speed most of the junkies I knew were on heroin. And when a strong package is released to the street people start dropping. There are even signs in prisons telling people to be careful when released because the stuff on the street is stronger than in prison.

If you look at who generally dies from drug overdoses it's largely opiate-based drug users. I once listened to two junkies who hadn't seen each other for quite a while talking and letting each other know about who died. They were mostly talking about overdoses, the conversation went on for about 30 minutes non-stop with different names non-stop. None of the cokeheads, eckyheads (MDMA), or speed freaks I knew ever had conversations like that.

Please add a "What is Threlte?" link section to the page about the release of version 8. You already have this page available as the landing page of the Threlte website ( https://threlte.xyz/ ).

Longer term, I would migrate away from the ".xyz" domain as it's (sadly) now become closely associated with the "Web3/Blockchain" space.
I think this is over-indexing "perfect" a bit. My intended point is that practicing the "correct" way will lead to improvement and especially to learning "correct" habits. Perhaps replace "correct" with "helpful"; it's about paying attention to the actions one takes and ensuring that they generally aid in progressing towards a goal.

If the goal is to make a program, I make sure that my thoughts about the program are sound before actually building it. If I need to play around a bit to understand the problem domain then I additionally need to be prepared to throw out the play-work. If I run into a bug, I remember it and proactively avoid it in the future. I think about the limitations of my design before I start building. This is my implementation of writing "without bugs"; it doesn't have to be perfect, it just can't be something which I know to be wrong.
HN should really have support for this. Even a simple Boolean tab that says whether you have a reply or not (on ANY comment) would be super useful.
That's because the servers that are left are filled with die-hard players that know the maps, and every little quirk about the gameplay to the pixel level... There still a lot of fun in there, some mini games, more esoteric modes, deathmatch... The other characteristic of many server is that they are modded to the gills, and in some cases the work that has been done on the game over the years ends up giving some very pleasant surprises...

I logged in about 120 hours in 2024 after not playing for 12 years, and everything was different and the same. You got a lot of 30-something's playing after office hours, keeping the servers alive, and like I said, some servers are at a completely different level, I had so much laughs and met quite a few new people...

I recommend to look a bit more and I'm sure you'll find a few servers to stick around to, even if you get headshotted by an AWP from across the map on each round.
I think I did once back in 2002.
https://hnreplies.com/ is an option (although using it means tying an email to your Hacker News username within their database which some people won't want.)

I am not aware of any such implicit connection of ledger and commutative property, also couldn't find anything as my google-fu is letting me down. Anything I can refer to? Generally curious to know use of term ledger outside of accounting and blockchains.

I have seen it used to mean WAL before, so I am taking this with a dose of skepticism.
The fact we're talking about it does not mean its related to the most major issues of today. That's your opinion and I can't think of anything you can back this up with.

For the zooming out to make the css pixel = real pixel, i wonder if you could just use units like 0.25px instead. Or maybe divide by window.devicePixelRatio in js to make it dynamic.
As I said, the default is that consumers are entitled to refunds regardless of whether they were promised or not. The fact that anyone has to take it to court in 2025 tells me this is not a reputable company. Furthermore I don't have any reputable way to know if the phones are actually shipping on time in 2025. I think that anyone filing a lawsuit would probably take the phone instead of incurring the expense of suing for a few hundred dollars. But here we are...
This is just an idea, so any model is possible at this stage. The map would be attracting expert contributions only if the experts think that it is benefitial to them, while fans would do it just for the joy of doing it.

Regarding copyright and contemporary poetry - if the copyright holders find the exposure antithetical to their interests, they will be skipped and that's it. I know though that even now I'm reading books and not catching stuff. I believe that such a resource might enrich the experience of many readers and that's why I'm toying with the idea every now and then.

The app did have parentheses buttons, depending on rotation you’d get simple or scientific UI.

Rotation changing how the calendar handled order of operations seems even less intuitive to me.

I'll throw in my funky function (which is probably similar to a well-known one, but I'm no mathematician so I know not what is well known):

f(x) = a random number uniformly selected from [-1, 1].

(So every real number maps to a distinct random number.)

It's nowhere continuous, nowhere differentiable, yet its integral over any interval is exactly zero.

Which is kind of weird if you think of integrals and derivatives as inverses, because as I understand it the derivative of a constant g(x) = c is g'(x) = 0, yet the integral of the above function is F(x) = 0 yet F'(x) = f(x) = the random nonsense monster. So the derivative of zero can be either zero or random noise? (And while f(x) is not differentiable, its integral surely is.)
Wrong analogy. The horse wasn't employed, the driver was. The horse was just a tool used by the driver.

> non-academic people that almost feel LLM-generated

I don't understand why this isn't talked about as much as the MAGA garbage. I occasionally read tweets by a couple prominent Rubyists who've been using Twitter since 2006 (because Twitter was written in Ruby, which attracted Rubyists) and none of the replies to their tweets are written by familiar Rubyists like back in the day. Most of the replies are from accounts created in the past few years with AI-generated profile images.
That sounds a lot like traditional dynamic language runtimes. You kind of get that for free with Smalltalk/LISP/etc.
I often see it in multiple-time-of-use scenarios as well that need to be consistent, i.e. no check vs. use involved.

> The more I've used these tools in my projects, the more I've realized that co-pilots are nothing more than drunken plagiarists, sitting behind you and your code with their hot, gin-soaked breath whispering semantic nothings in your ear.

This extends to their closely related cousins, "conversational" LLMs, which are drunkenly plagiarizing a theater-play script, kept indirect and hidden by an orchestration layer to "act out" one of the characters.

So your request of for X is wrapped into "The User said: X", and the LLM appends a new line of "The computer, which is incredibly smart, ethical and cool, says: Y", and the "Y" portion is regex'ed out and delivered to you.

In this way, people are fooled into thinking the story-character is the real author.

Mold will be faster than LLD even using LTO, but all of its benefits will be absolutely swamped by the LTO process, which is, more or less, recompiling the entire program from high-level LLVM-IR. That's extremely expensive and dwarfs any linking advantages.

So the benefit will be barely noticable. As another comment points out, LTO should only be used when you need a binary optimized to within an inch of its life, such as a release copy, or a copy for performance testing.
I fully understand your concern and agree that scrapers shouldn't be hurting web servers.

I don't think they are using our browser :)

But in my opinion, blocking a browser as such is not the right solution. In this case, it's the user who should be blocked, not the browser.
I put enough context in my comment that you should realize I'm not a blue tribe partisan. More like a libertarian who has become extremely conservative now that we're staring down fascism.

Republicans using that style of rant is hold over from when they were the conservative party. It also serves as a nice cover narrative to motivate the need for their radical agenda, to the large contingent of their supporters who are still blissfully thinking of themselves as conservative.

You also stripped the context where the person I was responding to was motivating their nonsense by referencing imagined harm to children in extremely rare cases, to justify this wholesale attack on our current society that will straightforwardly harm all of our children. That destruction of the present for a return to some imagined rosy past is one of the core tenets of fascism. A decade ago I would have been right with you pointing out the symmetry of the rhetoric, but at this point the Republican party has really gone off the deep end and only a fool ignores that.

You could use a self signed cert, as much as you like.

We just don't have a good place to stash and validate them, so that when I visit your website (or my bank) I know which cert to expect. As soon as you invent this central place, you get the authority back again.
I've a good track record of having my programs work without bugs, I don't think it's too hard. The way I work is to restrict myself to using building blocks that I know work well and produce correct results. For example: using state machines, never breaking out of a loop, tackling all the edge case before the body, using simple data structures, don't use inheritance or exceptions, don't interact with files natively, don't use recursion, etc. etc.

When I face a programming problem I map the solution to those simple building blocks, and If I can't I try to change the problem first.

Formal methods are hard if you want to prove the correctness of a hard algorithm, but you can almost always do without a hard algorithm and use something really basic instead, and for the basic things you don't need formal methods.

The people who write the most bugs in my experience do it because they don't fully understand the building blocks they're using, and rely on other things for correctness like the type checker or unit tests. They view code as a stochastic process, write code they don't fully understand and have accepted the resulting bugs as a fact of life.
Yeah, I don't want a streaming app. I just want to be able to easily play the music I already have.
"My friends that consistently vote for extreme right wing are, perhaps ironically, the ones that will suffer the most if they ever get on power."

This is a very common - and very self-serving - trope: the poor dummies who vote against their economic interests.

Haven't you and I voted for taxes ? Possibly progressive taxes ? Possibly even progressive taxes whose sole purpose was wealth redistribution ?

I have voted for things like that and they are absolutely counter to my own economic interests.

Shouldn't we expect participants in a democracy to consider more than simple economic benefits when casting votes ?

If your own decisions are complex and nuanced why would you assume that's not the case for others ?
It's interesting that even this gives me an uncanny valley feeling, something about the fact that the motion of the stalk is "bottom-up" rather than "top-down" and that all of the stalks are trying to move in unison rather than wind kind of gently cascading over the institution.

I imagine the piece was supposed to be haunting in a completely different way -- so the idea would be that you'd be embedded in a space which is experiencing a "real" wind that you can't yourself feel on your skin, and so you'd feel like you took a step outside of reality. In that sense this would be an exhibit that a video probably can't do justice to? But I think the uncanny valley thing still sells it pretty well.
As I see it, you need a model you can train quickly so you can do tuning, model selection, and all that.

I have a BERT + SVM + Logistic Regression (for calibration) model that can train 20 models for automatic model selection and calibration in about 3 minutes. I feel like I understand the behavior of it really well.

I've tried fine tuning a BERT for the same task and the shortest model builds take 30 minutes, the training curves make no sense (back in the day I used to be able to train networks with early stopping and get a good one every time) and if I look at arXiv papers it is rare for anyone to have a model selection process with any discipline at all, mainly people use a recipe that sorta-kinda seemed to work in some other paper. People scoff at you if you ask the engineering-oriented question "What training procedure can I use to get a good model consistently?"

Because of that I like classical ML.
I have a kitchen slide that I use for ratios in recipes. It's an old plastic one from Think Geek.

For example, I usually put 15 grams of coffee with 8 oz of water (please excuse the mixed units). To make a different amount, I align the 1.5 on the top rule with the 8 on the bottom rule to set the ratio. Then each number on the top rule (coffee in grams) matches the scaled value on the bottom rule (water in oz). The 6 on the bottom rule aligns with ~1.1 on the top, meaning I should brew my little six-ounce cup with 11g of coffee. In practice, I do this a lot with bread, but the "baker's percent" convention for writing bread recipes makes it a more complicated example.

Another way to use a kitchen slide rule is when scaling a recipe. Say I want to make 2/3 of a batch of cookies. I line up the 3 on top with the 2 on the bottom. Then for each ingredient, I find the recipe's quantity on top, and read off the scaled quantity on the bottom. This works better with recipes that use weights, to avoid awkward fractions or converting between units so you can subdivide.

Basic Question but how exactly does Rust run on iPhones, does it get compiled into another language?
Rust allows your to enforce more invariants at compile time, so implementing a complex system where you are likely to make a mistake and violate those invariants is easier.

Most pensions since the 1970s or prehaps before are government insured in the us. But my family has stories of the relative who worked for a company for decades the company sent bankrupt when he was 60 and the pension was invested in the now worthless company stock.

the above is why I tend to oppose employee owned conpanies. Too much risk for the common man to have so much net worth in their job.
I can't buy your friend's conclusion, because people have been blaming immigrants, [insert analague for gays here], blacks, etc. in America and beyond for at least 100 years.

That said, I think what I'm interested in picking at that word, "preachy". It's an inherently subjective sentiment, so what does it really mean, to this person or that one? Are they offended (or maybe angered, or maybe threatened, or maybe repulsed) by the message, or the way the message is conveyed, or real/imagined ramifications of the message, or...

I just don't want to take this feeling for granted without really understanding what it is, you know? Anything like it is rooted both in reality and our interior lives, even when the two are at odds; teasing out how much goes into which is a part of that process of understanding.
Can't agree more!

Are there any hierarchies in mathematics that aren't like this? It seems like most hierarchies are constructed such that going up one "level" expands your scope so much that the previous rung looks like a drop of water in the ocean.

Examples include, for example: the Chomsky hierarchy of languages, where most context-free languages are not regular; Turing computability/solvability; and so on.

> I think that anyone filing a lawsuit would probably take the phone instead of incurring the expense of suing for a few hundred dollars.

You'd be surprised.

I've personally managed to convince a few people to choose to get the phone right away rather than wait for a refund in conversations similar to this one - and they got them. It's not as easy as it may seem, and some people didn't want to hear about it at all. People left hanging for so long react very emotionally and I can't really blame them. I'm not even sure how I'd react myself with my own order if I didn't have inside knowledge and haven't seen things moving firsthand.
As I understand it... one of the reasons why the Soviets fell behind in computer technology was because back in the 60s, while Soviet engineers had good designs that were state-of-the-art for the era, the communist economic planners estimated the requirements for computer manufacture to be one per university or government department for a total of maybe a few thousand, while Western manufacturers were getting orders into the tens or hundreds of thousands... and they had to come up with new technologies to produce the machines faster and cheaper in order to keep up, let alone compete with other manufacturers. So the market in the west grew explosively, requiring concomitant growth in innovation, and that put the Soviets on the back foot, requiring them to smuggle in and reverse engineer System/370s, PDPs, etc. in order to stay current.

We discovered that many towns in Iceland have municipal pool/sport complexes, and those were great to visit. They were quite affordable for single visits, the pools were great (with various pool temperatures to choose from), and many of them had extras like pool toys and waterslides, which were a hit with the kids.

I used to commute into the city by express bus. Drive to Metro Transit Park-n-Ride lot, park the car and get on the bus.

On the way back a lot of people would start their cars (via app) when about 5 minutes away from the lot. That translates to about 4-5 miles at freeway speed.

Alternately, at the office, some people parked at a lot that was about a mile away and it's nice to be able to start your car when it's 95F or -15F so it's comfortable when you get there.
