I do this a lot. Basically there are some initial steps that are obviously done programmatically no matter what you say, and then I guess if your responses pass enough gates you pierce the veil and get a real person. I’ve gotten scammers so worked up they started cursing in all caps for long periods of time, but even those start with “Hello is this Anna?” or “Make sure you get the props to the stage by 7pm.”
Im not sure I follow, but I think there is something about it related to either age or generation. It seems like a lot of people are going through life on autopilot without thinking about what they really want, questioning what makes them happy, and ending up very dissatisfied with the results.

I think there is something powerful about feeling like you chose the life you are living among the options available.
Not a problem.

I have their DM42 and it feels good in the hands. The case is solid metal too and the screen is nice. I believe the performance is better than the originals (not hard as some of these were sold before my birth and I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore) and they fixed several bugs.

Absolutely. The work of user experience research has a long history and is very important. What is new is every single "app" (website) inventing their own entire conventions and "language". This still happened with desktop apps, but it was rare typically limited to the largest players (Microsoft, Adobe). You can do a tremendous amount with basic, bog-standard, GUI widgets if you apply them well.
Elon Musk admits cheating in video game where he claimed world-class skills
Yeah the tmux / vim combo is so hard for me to beat with other editors still. I used Zed exclusively last month thinking the LLM integrations would be a compelling enough reason to finally switch. Like the post author, I'm a little fatigued with config / plugin churn since I switch languages frequently and it always takes some customizing to make vim work well when I do that.

As the author describes though, I found myself copy-pasting a lot between LLM chat and editing buffers. In tmux, I have a really simple function that copies select panes (using tmux capture-pane) into my prompt, or I can give it full files for context. Most of the time though, I can do something like `llm -t 0 -t 1 'what is this libSSL error indicating? here's my code', where -t 0 gives it my vim pane and -t 1 gives it the terminal I'm running things in. I've been surprised that this somewhat rudimentary approach has felt far more effective than the more sophisticated editors I've been trying.

Is this just me? Does it seem to others that the LLM-enabled editors coming out these days still require a lot of copy-pasting of context that can be easily provided with just a dump of tmux output?

Everything-is-just-text might be crude but dang does it make quick and dirty LLM integrations a snap!
Really interesting. I considered having a go at a RPN to WASM converter when I was making https://c50.fingswotidun.com/

I ended up converting the RPN style notation into a JavaScript string and creating a new function, which lets the JIT sort it out.

https://c50.fingswotidun.com/show/?code=xy!2*!2y!*6%2Bo2%2Fv...

which has the code

xy!2*!2y!*6+o2/vy#!*:Cy#*+z#d!;*:ze!xy*4s*43/*e+*+

becomes

((round(z) * ((v * (1 - round(y))) + (clamp((( ((x*(2**((2 * (1 - y)) + 6))) ^ ((1 - ((1 - y) * 2))*(2**((2 * (1 - y)) + 6)))) /(2**((2 * (1 - y)) + 6))) / 2)) * round(y)))) + ((1 - round(z)) * ((1 - smoothStep(z)) + smoothStep((((x * y) * sin(4)) * (4 / 3))))))

It would be interesting to see the performance difference from a wasm version, but in the end I found the human(ish) readable expression to be quite useful too.

Originally I created an interpreter for a code as a texture maker for code golfed javascripted games. https://github.com/Lerc/stackie

There's potential for a WASM implementation to be both smaller than the small version and Faster than the fast version.
The trick to doing this efficiently is to arrange for the live session state to be available (through replication or some data bus) at the alternative back end before cut over.
Google lens and other apps do this.

I've seen apps that read QR codes that don't, however. Usually they're single-purpose and just don't recognize unexpected data (scan the magic code to get a character in a game, etc) but if the expected data is formatted as a URL, maybe it tries to fetch resources there (character information and image).

I can also see someone making a browser extension that allows scanning a QR code to immediately open it so you don't have to leave your current app.
No syntax highlighting for LISP or Scheme, so... It's fun, but not something I can use right now.
Using availability as a metric for UI bugs is great. After all, UI is just an API for humans, and it breaking breaks workflows.

> These unique kinds of UIs have less convention and unique accessibility characteristics that are expensive to solve. But a lot of the time, our budget should be zero. To build it with what we have already. To copy-paste.

If you build UIs like this, you end up with the sort of one-size-fits-all UIs no one likes. Like when Twitter (and others) consolidated their desktop and mobile UIs into one mobile-first one that works worse on. You waste a bunch of space and information density, lose eye scanning ability, for the benefit of higher developer velocity. It must be carefully applied. Things like shipping address forms (example from article) or yes/no modals are a great place for standardization but trying to assemble those pieces on a single page, or show something slightly different and you're back to square one.

---

Didn't we try to standardize some of this already? Isnt this why <input>s are derived from the OS and why alert() and prompt() exist? And default style sheets? And no one wanted this! Browsers have opened up _everything_ to be customized, capitulating to designers. And even with all that customization, some things like HTML5 validation still feel like theyre missing pieces.
I think you are getting away from the actual original question, which is why (intuitively) the rationals are dense in the reals despite being a different form of infinity. The confusion wasn't about different forms of infinity, it was really about the topology of R with respect to Q - why is Q "big enough" yet Z "too small" despite the sets having the same cardinality? And that is intimately related to any fixed real number having a computable/rational approximation up to any accuracy, yet most real numbers not actually being computable.
Sigh, I'm done. Y'all would fail any technical interview I'd ever give regardless of your experience level.

Going on and on about the merits of not following procedure in a discussion that started with a disaster which could have triggered a global mass extinction event is not the appropriate response. They were doing things which were very well known to be dangerous, which they themselves knew to be dangerous, that had been known to be dangerous since literally the first nuclear reactor at the Manhattan Project some 40 years previous.
I would guess that the number is pulled down significantly by streaming services and a lot of home broadband connections are 95% TV service, and wifi connections for phones at home is just a bonus.

That's basically the life story of the life of frontend engineer nowadays isn't it?

The lower I went to the ground, e.g. backend, then native code, then C... the happier I am. It's like the ocean, the lower you go, the more stable and calm things are. On the surface, you get the crashing waves.

I used to be a Web expert, from the early days, DHTML and flash, to the median years, jquery, backbone etc. to then writing my own libraries. Vue 2 was the last I really used as front-end heavy.

Since then I've been secluded more towards the backend, I leave the front end to the young. I do like systems like Laravel Livewire though, it's mildly sane.

When I write websites now, I do it all by hand and focus on really fast page loading times rather than a monstrosity of generated code and async over the wire. I have such a better time doing it.

Today's web should be considered harmful to the health. It's a high blood pressure job.
Cerebras unfortunately won't give you a key right away, apparently you need to join a waiting list because they were overwhelmed by the amount of requests for API access.
I was fortunate to work on high-profile initiatives (some with board-level visibility) so I could sometimes help with that, directly or indirectly. Sometimes I was better at things they were having trouble with.
I love Zed, I just need Statamic Antlers support and haven't bothered to write it yet.

CTE's are extensions to try an regain some of what was lost when adopting a model loosely based on Codd's declarative relational algebra, specifically the lack of transitive closure, the rest mostly fit into the CRUD world.

It is a bit circular, CRUD's elements create, read, update, and delete were chosen to represent the core features of a persistence layer.
So you believe it's a human on the other end. In that case, an LLM might meet the efficiency criteria, sure.

More likely, though it's using an even more cost efficient technique and isn't consuming much or any human attention at all here.
Gotta scratch the schmootz off those little rollers too.

Really, purely curiosity. At first, one thing I was wondering was if some new theory might have caught hold in some corner of academia, for example. Then I wondered if I misunderstood falsification myself.

> Einstein found them quite useful, for example

He is why I made the exception for math. His 'experiment' used math (exclusively?) - and wasn't relied upon until confirmed empirically.
This is about Google Workspace, a higher tier paid account which does include phone support. Equivalent to if someone like your business ISP called you (or someone else who you are a paying customer of, with real phone lines). That being said, it is mentioned that OP doesn't pay for that or Google One.

yes, but would it be foolish on our part to expect events today to deviate much from ChatGPT answers?
I inherited 600+ jazz CDs and a couple of hundreds of LPs from my dad, who died 10 years ago - and like TFA, music is what we often connected over.

Most (but not all!) of that music is available online. But I listen to them now and then, in part for the linear experience that they offer, but also because they were his and meant a lot to him. And they were physical items - if he had left me his Spotify account, I'd get no value out of it.

Time to go put on some Grant Green..
I appreciate that "README first" is useful when browsing projects, but it's significantly less useful when actually doing development. The "source code first" approach that GitHub took was one of the major differences with everything that came before it, and in my opinion one of the major reasons for its success.

Space-Time Dynamics in Video Feedback

A film by Jim Crutchfield, Entropy Productions, Santa Cruz (1984). Original U-matic video transferred to digital video. 16 minutes.

James P. Crutchfield. Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Laboratories, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA.

ABSTRACT: Video feedback provides a readily available experimental system to study complex spatial and temporal dynamics. This article outlines the use and modeling of video feedback systems. It includes a discussion of video physics and proposed two models for video feedback based on a discrete-time iterated functional equation and on a reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. Color photographs illustrate results from actual video experiments. Digital computer simulations of the models reproduce the basic spatio-temporal dynamics found in the experiments.

Good point.

Still a niche within a though. They weren't that common in the wild like the old HPs were. I knew someone in the engineering program at Texas Tech with a 50g, but never saw a single engineer or stem major at my school with one. They had them in production for awhile, so they're out there (logically speaking), but they've got to be a big outlier.

They don't have syntax highlighting, Zed uses LSP server for each language. I'm sure lisps have them, the question is just to add support in Zed for a particular one.
Avante is much more active and polished at this point, but there's alternatives:

https://github.com/baketnk/l.nvim (self-shill, docs overhaul needed)

which was inspired by the original:

https://github.com/yacineMTB/dingllm.nvim

Also brand new from ggerganov: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.vim

dingllm is very straightforward, you submit your entire selection/buffer and it streams out to the current position. mine is a bit more complex with configurations, context management and so on.

The thing I always tell people is just roll your own. The docs are there, the LLM is there, use them. At the end of the day it's just an http call against text from your buffer to put text in a buffer.
As someone developing CC0-licensed software, this had me a bit shook, so let me highlight that your link does clarify that CC0 licenses are fine for software and are entirely separate from other CC licenses.

That's really sad.

The drones aren't the only robots on the battlefield. I'm not surprised at the extent of the propaganda buy in, it is life or death whether you support publicly the dear leader.

But Jesus. At least the Russian conscripts know what is up. Prisoner shock troops, meat waves, unbridled bombardment, brainwashed mercenaries.

A lot of Internet agents happily excuse Putins conduct in the lens of geopolitical realism, but the fact remains he's an soulless ghoul.

With total mind control AI could ming packaged by silicon valley, authoritarians will have even tighter grips on the world.

With democracy teetering on our side from AI data harvesting and profiling in social networks, I'm very pessimistic about the medium and long term future of the world.

I think we have about 30 years tops before virtually every country is worse than 1984.

I think this is the real danger of AI. It's simply too powerful a tool for centralizing political power and enabling authoritarianism. The more I think about it, it's a done deal, because once it gets imposed by a country, there is no escape. There is no technological counter.

The US has everything, and I mean everything to become lock down controlled at a whim.
But that schema can be applied to your new set, as well — to create yet more counter examples. Your method didn’t exhaust the real numbers outside the original list. You merely added one of them.

For any listable subset of the real numbers, we can provide a counter example. And since we’re proving by contradiction in Cantor’s argument, we assume the original list is exhaustive, ie there’s a bijection between naturals and reals.

We show that assumption leads to a contradiction, because there’s at least one real number for which no natural maps to it. Therefore, there can’t be such a bijection.

- - -

Assume f is a bijection between N and [0,1].

Let an be the nth digit of f(n).

Then x = sum(1,inf)[10^-n * (an + 1 % 10)] is a real number in [0, 1] for which there is no f(k) = x. So f is not onto and therefore f is not a bijection.

Therefore, no such bijection can exist — by contradiction.

- - -

You can’t patch that schema up just by adding counter examples to your first choice of bijection — because a counter example is constructable for any bijection attempt.

The fundamental problem is that reals include limits — which is what allows the sum to be a real number.
I feel a lot of the repairability issues and poor longevity we have for electronic devices can be laid at the feet of Apple. So many "innovations" from them directly resulted in poorer device servicability, and other manufacturers were forced to follow suit, because that's what the consumer "wanted".

And the consumer only "wanted" these things, because marketing and paid reviews told them they wanted it.
Why would we need a function keyword?

Honestly the ability to do those major changes in place are pretty exciting and might be a draw towards BcacheFs for me. As long as it doesn't happen too often (with the experimental phase as an exception) it's really nice to be able to benefit from major features and improvements.

I really dislike the attitude some FS devs have that if you want some improvement made after you setup a system you should just reformat and restore from backup.

Sure a 5 hour metadata rewrite is disruptive, but it's nothing compared to a 5 day backup, reprovision, restore dance. The former can run over night on a weekend, the latter takes basically the entire work week. Therefore it won't get done until all the infrastructure is EOL, and replaced with something else 3-7 years down the line.
Developers: America has been taken over by a bad, pointy haired boss. Suggestions on how to deal with him? Tell him what he wants to hear and continue doing what's needed? Ignore his insane announcements, just come in for work as usual and do the necessary things? Hope that he is ousted or removed somehow? Indeed.
I am aware that FreeRTOS and Zephyr are popular but in your opinion, do these form a comprehensive ecosystem and foundation for engineers build robots? I am not aware of any major robotics projects using these MCU OSes as a paradigm (as opposed to an auxiliary component connected to a main OS). I had a robotics colleague at a high profile lab saying that Windows is the de facto standard.
I would like to see renewed focus on supporting the user to be able to customize the UI to their liking. This is sorely missed in design systems and web apps. Everything is GitHub at the whims of a UX designer that did some “research”.
> Absolutely nobody is using GitHub exclusively from their phone.

As an OSS maintainer, I do quite a lot of issue triage and simple PR review via the GitHub mobile app, which has gotten better by leaps and bounds in the past 3 years.

> I have never ONCE struggled to input my address into a form.

The different ways forms treat secondary addresses can be a real pain, if you have one of those.
People are free to draw their own conclusions from the movie. The conclusions I drew are:
1. Blame game started right away ("Of course you are responsible. I was not even in the building" Bryukhanov to Dyatlov in the night of the explosion)
2. During the test some actions were taken with a complete disregard towards safety and consequences. Some people would call this reckless.
3. If this accident did not happen at Chernobyl it would have happened somewhere else.

When you took the job, did you know it was in office work and how long the commute was going to be?

I mean I get frustration if “I was remote, but my company RTO’d”. Not so sure I understand “I intentionally took a job in the office a hour away but I am disappointed because I could do the job from home” mentality.
Biggest dealbreaker for me using Zed is that it’s not a TUI but a full on GUI app. I might as well just use VSCode with vim bindings at that point.

More than fair point.

That said, there's a long history of entrenched incumbents exerting anticompetitive pressures against new entrants. AT&T itself was founded in part out of spite against the telegraph monopolies, who opposed it. I've pointed to Bernard Stern's 1937 article "Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations" several times on HN: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20532443>. The markdown may now be found at <https://rentry.co/szi3g>.

The ISP situation is somewhat different, though if you look at early dial-up providers (Prodigy, AOL, CompuServ, and MCI Mail), those were generally and quite unambiguously aimed at creating captive markets. They differed from the more open general ISPs such as Earthlink, Mindspring, The World, SonicNet, etc., who largely offered protocols-based access (straight TCP/IP, SMTP/email, FTP/HTTP file/content access, IRC, and the like. Those have largely been subsumed by telco oligopoly providers, e.g., the new AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon in the US.

I don't know to what extent there was or wasn't overt resistance to expanded Internet services, though the US's general lagging on widespread and high-speed broadband provision relative to global peers remains an issue. It was a significant talking point during the COVID-19 lockdowns when much in-person interaction switched to videoconferencing, a functionality still poorly supported by much of the population's Internet service.
Good lord. Two areas we really do not want AI in its current form touching somehow put together in one convenient little package.
As funny as this may be, it's kind of depressing what it says about technology and the future.

It seems we're heading towards a future where companies and scammers/spammers use AI bots to get more money for themselves, while individuals use their own AI bots to avoid or filter those attempts. Makes the whole thing seem pretty pointless.
I have seen attacks where directly visiting the site doesn't show anything out of the ordinary, but visits coming from Google (referer) show different content. Have also seen ones where only User-Agent: Googlebot would see the modified version of the site.

You’re fine, the CoD UI is indeed an inscrutable mess designed to maximize “engagement.” Same for other live service type games. I think they want the same entrancing effect as stepping into a casino.
The proof can be done on the whole code (in memory, incremental, etc), and then the modules emitted as dynamically loadable objects.
