> > It doesn't cost anything to take photos, except your time, so just keep spamming the trigger

> This, this, this, and this!!!

Except that time is a huge cost. Merely taking the photos is quick, but sorting through them is slow and mind-bogglingly boring. The more photos you take, the larger the chaos is (and the more space gets wasted). If you are the kind of person who diligently categorizes photos right after they are taken, then sure, go ahead spamming the trigger; otherwise you'll just end up with with exhausted storage, and less and less motivation (over time) to start sorting through that ever growing heap of manure.
You are just shifting to another nebulous criticism instead of substantiating anything about skepticism of research from Chinese people.

It is clear to everyone in the room that recent ML innovations are incredibly powerful and actively being used in many areas to substantial effect. It may be overhyped, but there is clearly real fuel behind it, it's not all hot air.
That route's been touted for a while - and having done the SYD-LHR trip quite a few times, I'm not 100% confident it'd be a significant QoL improvement (except for business travellers).

Pricing will be interesting to watch, in any case.

As you note, a lot of the time cost is incurred for the 'last mile' part of that trip, so apart from the (tourist / comfort) benefits of splitting flights of that length, I could see it being much less appealing for travellers bouncing through London to get elsewhere into the continent.
In addition, a good dependency security scanning tool can analyze reachability to answer this question for you
Considering how much they were losing as Twitter, it's not bad.
If they're 2D and packed on a plane, though, I think we do. That's reasonable if we're talking about "close enough." I wouldn't argue with the brevity of the numpy, though. Choosing how to place the disk over a plane of circles in an optimal way could be complicated.
A few mitigation ideas

* Get AI to write tests
* Use copy/paste. No IDE
* Use python (not because it's better than zig)
The LLMs in general are already having an impact. The price per line of code has and is falling. Anyone who won't use them to their advantage will be left behind. Deepseek is just one tool that coders will need to use to write code.

Here's a recent example of a similar situation. There was a time when all web pages were written by hand using a text editor. As time went on, tools began to appear that would automate much of the writing. Yes, the code they provided was ugly, but it did the job. Eventually, most developers started to use the tools simply because they could get more done.

I suspect the same will happen with software engineers.
More like compiling a bunch of github projects written by hackers is a pain in the ass, so “make me an ec2 with Kali” is more cost effective
I like looking at stack overflow for coding examples and seeing a couple of nerds getting angry at each other about the best way to do stuff. or some interesting other ways of doing stuff. this is also why i come to HN! so its weird when people want to drop that small joy from their workday
pic mentions openKylin, I suppose Kylin is a bit like Kali?

Likewise, discussion should be allowed.

The actual title of this story is literally not believable if you take the most generic meaning of discussion and Linux.

I'd go even further: I don't believe that anyone could believe that the title is believable.
Begs the question again: if you need to go out of your way to find an example of correct usage of the api to paste into the prompt, why are you even bothering?

I find copilot useful when I already know what I want and start typing it out, at a certain point the scope of the problem is narrowed sufficiently for the LLM to fill the rest in. Of course this is more in line of “glorified autocomplete” than “replacing junior devs” that a keep hearing claims of.
I've been playing this game all week.

A few essential things you should know: 8's are only on the 2 rows/columns next to the edge. 11's are always in the corner and if you see a '?' the purple 5 point monster is 2 blocks away, which direction you'll need to figure out!

Not essential: Mice look at a specific direction for a reason. You might figure out why later
I find LLMs to be decent unblockers. I only turn to them form time to time though, unless Im in a playful mode and try poking out various ideas. As a coder I also ask for snippets when Im lazy. I tried growing a slightly larger solution a few times and it failed in dumb ways. It was clear it doesn’t really comprehend we do, it’s not aware it’s moving in circles and so on. All these things will probably see a lot incremental of improvents and as a tool will definitely stay but fundamentally LLMs can’t really think, at least the way we do and expecting that is also foolish.
Ah, that makes so much more sense.

So it does have a 2nd level BTB, it's just that it's labeled as IJTP and is potentially only used by indirect branches.
MVS, the algo for dep version selection, is deterministic, given the same inputs you will get the same outputs. Go has invested a lot of effort in creating reproducible builds through the entire toolchain

I don't need to read books to know the tiananmen massacre is just as real as the xinjiang genocide

Im mean, there are so many evidences about this, right? unlike gaza genocide which are totally misinformation by russian bots without any credits(I should not talk about things like this, and I think this by my free will)

there are so many photos and videos shows the ccp massacre and genocide

i mean, there is a tank man photo proven this, oh poor guy must be squashed crudely

i don't need to read books, wikipedia and tankman told me everything

it's so terrible and horrible, damn you ccp, I'll expose your sins in every thread about china, by my free will and free speech
It's definitely as good as junior dev at a lot of tasks but you always have to be in the driver seat. I don't ask junior devs to write functions one at a time. I give them a task, they ping me if they need something, but otherwise I hope I don't hear from them again for a while.

I don't see AI replacing that. AI is a tool with the instant Q&A intelligence of a junior dev but it's not actually doing the job of a junior dev. That's a subtle distinction.
It's a breath of fresh air how grounded and coherent Wenfeg's argument is as a CEO of an AI startup. He actually talks like someone technical and not a snake oil salesman.

Compare this to the interviews of Altman or Musk, talking vaguely about elevating the level consciousness, saving humanity from existential threats, understand the nature of the universe and other such nonsense they pander to investors.
better motivation for rewrite it in go...

but are there really that many tools you need in a go project not written in go?
See my comment above. After I learned a few essentials that are not mentioned the game became very reasonable and more enjoyable
I bought a watch in 2003 or so and it cost about £120.

I have never worried about powering it - the face is a solar power trickle charger. I can barely generate enough vitamin D for myself but my watch can power itself from the sun here!

My watch's time is accurate to within my perception. I run a little fleet of stratum 1 NTP devices and I set my watch roughly bi-annually, whether it needs it or not! The day of week and day of month indicators have gone a big shag. I think a tooth might have been sheared off but I simply ignore them.

My eyes are a bit 50 something on top of short sighted and astigmatism, yet I can still read the time at any time of the day or night.

I get that I can't read my email on it, nor can it take my pulse but I'm not too sure I'm missing anything.
Show HN: Grug make simple tool for talk to OpenAI assistant
No bells, no whistles—just rock-solid, no-fuss, simple web interface. Built with HTMX, Express, and Handlebars because Grug like tools that just work.

How it work:
- Memory stay in Grug brain (ok, server memory) by IP. Chat keep going unless you switch cave network.
- All state is hypermedia. No sneaky magic, just clear GET/POST paths that send back nice chat bubbles.
- Only one form. Few endpoints. Simple. Fast. Grug use for testing new assistant ideas or showing off in demo.

You run locally with OPENAI_API_KEY and ASSISTANT_ID. That all you need. Tool not fancy, but it do job. Grug happy if it help you too.
> Sometimes it’s better to be careful with the bold superiority.

Sometimes it's better to just call the CCP on its 1984 bullshit.
Precisely. This is like saying that "the business could have just bet $1B on black at a roulette table and doubled their money!"

Gambling and productive investments are not comparable.
My wife used to give me shit for recording her and the children when we did things like the grand canyon and aquarium and what not. She used to say I should be taking pictures or filming the event or activity.

Now that they're older, she gets it. I can Google a dolphin, but I can't Google my oldest's reaction to seeing one.
i like the 'hate the government but not the people' here
A pleasant surprise - the KDE version works "out of the box" on my 2015 MacBook 12" (A1534). This is an unusual machine, and Linux distros tend not to support its hardware out of the box. Chimera even sees the internal SSD, traditionally a stumbling point to installing Linux on this machine.
To be fair whenever something radically changes the risk of a regression is higher than normal.
Yes, think of it like this: the point of the Tortoise and the Hare isn't to go to the pet store and start a racing league.
I still have mine and wear it from time to time. Can't wait for an update lol.
From highway:

> Does what you expect: Highway is a C++ library with carefully-chosen functions that map well to CPU instructions without extensive compiler transformations. The resulting code is more predictable and robust to code changes/compiler updates than autovectorization.

So C compilers are not a good place to start if one wants to write a compiler for an array language (which naturally expresses SIMD calculations). Which is what I point out in the last paragraph of the blog post:

> To some extent this percolates compilers textbooks. Array languages naturally express SIMD calculations; perhaps there are more fluent methods for compilation (and better data structures for export à la object files).
That is a great visualisation, yes!

It's probably more helpful to not use the idea of 'guessing' though - the transition from off to on is a signal with a certain frequency content and that signal is reacting to the capacitance and inductance etc. of the wires and propagating through them basically the only way it can. Once the signal has propagated through and the ringing has all been absorbed it settles on the DC condition.

Unless the three chains have common major shareholders and/or together dominate the bulk of the market and collude in the illusion of sales and price cutting.

> OpenSCAD recently got a Measure tool

Sadly, in the GUI, it would be really nice if I could do something like:

module myObj() {
import("bla.stl");
}

myObjDimensions = dimensions(myObj);

translate([0, 0, myObjDimensions.z]) cube();

But this couldn't even be a valid SCAD code...
I honestly wouldn't touch anything these founders make. They're really good at hyping things up and then selling (Pebble & Beeper)
The title says that captive wolves led us astray and the first paragraph asserts that the studies spawned decades of misunderstanding about power, leadership, and masculinity. The causal link is very dubious to say the least.
This is wrong. There are plenty of quant strategies that aren't a race.
Spot on. I've read the very accessible paper and it's better than any of the how-to's written elsewhere. Nothing against good content being written, but the source material is already pretty good.
though some intellectuals may delight in listing the sins of the three letter agencies at length and in detail, it is probably overgeneralizing to say "everyone finds this" .. Actual career families pass down the profession in different ways.. some appreciate the stable income to start.. Overall, there has to be something like those agencies with career professionals. How to minimize harm?
How's that old chestnut go? "First they laugh at us..."?

Their 10 year profits are flat, which is actually a decrease if you account for inflation.
Well, the Steam Deck's release coincided with the popularity of reconstruction techniques. The Deck didn't "force" devs to consider optimization so much as it just gave them a low-end reconstruction target to play with. Without FSR and XESS, there's no doubt that the Deck would be a solidly last-gen console.

Strictly speaking, a lot of games really shouldn't be playable on the Steam Deck. Baldur's Gate III and Cyberpunk 2077 are both CPU-bound before reaching 60fps and can barely keep their head above 30fps running at 360p internal resolution. The Deck's saving grace is that it can tap into the same dynamic resolution mode that last-gen consoles depend on for consistent framerates.
I like the idea of a Pebble, but I already have a latest gen Apple Watch and a Garmin in a drawer somewhere mostly forgotten.

It’s too addicting to just buy small, cute, computer hardware. Very wasteful, not mindful.
There are a couple of mechanics that can only be observed on a fully visible board (the death screen), such as the purple slime mage who is level 1 but is always surrounded by level 8 tiles or the basilisk that marks number tiles with a ? in a diamond shape.

I used Claude to help me build a side project in 4 hours that I would never have built otherwise. Essentially, it's a morphing wavetable oscillator in React (https://waves.tashian.com).

Six months ago, I tried building this app with ChatGPT and got nowhere fast.

Building it with Claude required a gluing together a few things that I didn't know much about: JavaScript audio processing, drawing on a JavaScript canvas, an algorithm for bilinear interpolation.

I don't write JavaScript often. But I know how to program and I understand what I'm looking at. The project came together easily and the creative momentum of it felt great to me. The most amazing moment was when I reported a bug—I told Claude that the audio was stuttering whenever I moved the controls—and it figured out that we needed to use an AudioWorklet thread instead of trying to play the audio directly from the React component. I had never even heard of AudioWorklet. Claude refactored my code to use the AudioWorklet, and the stutter disappeared.

I wouldn't have built this without Claude, because I didn't need it to exist that badly. Claude reduced the creative inertia just enough for me to get it done.
I gave up trying new smartwatches after three or four bad ones. I haven't tried the recent Garmins. But looking at the current products, they seem like giant ugly bricks compared to the Pebble Time Round, which I believe still wears the crown of thinnest smartwatch ever made (and not by a little bit either). I very much doubt the software compares either (either on the watch side or the phone side).
Fun game, would fit well on mobile. The mark mechanic might be the trickiest thing to translate over, maybe tap and hold to bring up a numpad sort of interface? I'd drop a couple bucks on it.
Food doesn't grow in a vacuum. I buy a lot locally and it's also more expensive, but they're open about it. Everything costs more. Pesticides cost more. Fertilizer costs more. The animal feed cost more. The drugs cost more. Labor cost more.

We seem stuck in some weird inflationary cycle between inputs and outputs going back and forth on increases. Maybe that's normal, I've not lived through a time like it that I can remember.

You mean a rule where you can say [mail:received-from="domain:xyz.com" > move to > "Saved" folder] - and it happens, something like this? Honestly I did not check it but I guess they might handle it.

During my trials I didn't find any issue with their DKIM support. https://help.runbox.com/dkim-signing/ seems fine to me. You might want to ask if you are interested, unlike mailbox.org they do reply, and they reply promptly, and they reply as if they mean it.

At the same time, a consulting company's employee might spend 30 times more time together with the employees of his/her client, and then it might have felt more natural to join them on Christmas dinner too, and a bit sad to be "left out" (although of course everyone probably understand why).

The client's employees can be your "real" coworkers that your at every day, for years and years? Although maybe your company does shorter projects (?), what do I know
I don’t necessarily disagree, I think he has very thorough and detailed analyses of many topics and I’ve learned a ton reading his blog over the years.

Nevertheless he’s human and every human no matter how hard they try is prone to certain biases at various times.

So he’s not invested monetarily in meta stock. But he’s clearly spent time with the higher ups at meta and settled on a particularly bullish narrative as it pertains to their future. That in and of itself makes him vested in meta being the winner because he predicted it and wants to be proven right.

The reason I bring this up is as someone who has read this blog very consistently for a long time now this is the first time I’ve sensed a shift in the tone. And this post seemed to be fired off quickly about an hour before the market opened and it seemed like he was palpably nervous about tHe situation and trying to calm people’s nerves. That in and of itself feels like it’s squarely in the bullish camp and hoping for a particular outcome.
On average toasters have always been $20. Wasn't $5 an outlier during dotCom crash homegoods firesales? There are some outliers. I just think it's wild that some coils cost the same as a radioactive laser, ICs, amps, motors, etc. There's a certain minimum cost and the complexity doesn't matter.
What calendar year did you just crawl out of? The majority of Windows and Mac users rely on cross-platform Electron apps and web browsers more than any other type of software (including native apps). The only constituent market that demands native OS APIs is PC gaming, which has had commercial-quality Linux alternatives for years now.

Furthermore, anyone that used Windows or MacOS in the 90s will gladly tell you that today's preinstalled apps are either garbage (Apple Music/Groove), adware (Apple News/MSN News) or entirely useless (Candy Crush/AppleTV). If users actually cared about uniformity, intuition and quality then they'd be using the software from 30 years ago.

Guess what? Users don't actually care about native software quality that much. They want a web browser and an Electron runtime, if people needed "first-rate native GUI" anything then nobody would know how ChromeOS or SteamOS worked. Clearly it is not a problem for the overwhelming majority of customers today.
Nothing made me feel as dumb as reading its chain of thought. It made it click for me how hopeless we will be soon, once we cannot comprehend even the reasoning for some things.

"if you need to go out of your way to find an example of correct usage of the api to paste into the prompt, why are you even bothering?"

Because it's faster.

Here's an example: https://tools.simonwillison.net/ocr

That's an entirely client-side web page you can use to open a PDF which then converts every page to an image (using PDF.js), then runs each image through the Tesseract.js OCR program and lets you copy out the resulting text.

I built the first version of that in about 5 minutes while paying attention to a talk at a conference, by pasting in examples of PDF.js and Tesseract.js usage. Here's that transcript: https://gist.github.com/simonw/6a9f077bf8db616e44893a24ae1d3...

I wrote more about that process here, including the prompts I used: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Mar/30/ocr-pdfs-images/

That's why I'm bothering: I can produce useful software in just a few minutes, while only paying partial attention to what the LLM is doing for me.
My Pebble Time Steel finally bit the dust so I turned to a Garmin Instinct. I can't stand it. The button placement is totally random and legitimately painful to use. The Garmin software focuses on fitness activities to the exclusion of everything else.

I recoil at having been tempted by the more expensive Garmin watches. What a waste of money that would have been!
You're far more likely to be eaten alive by something in the wilderness than in a corporate office.
