Minnesota winters must slow those updates) with a screen so narrow (820px) it’s like you’re browsing Hacker News—your thrilling* referrer—through a vintage 1997 monitor slit.

Don't like Docker either. Why? As an absolutely unnecessary entity, it doesn't correspond with Occam's Razor. It's overengineered. It's clumsy and slow. It utilizes a lot of resources and leaves a lot of garbage in the filesystem. It's not secure. It's overhyped. docker-compose is an abomination. The same goes for Kubernetes.
you could use something like proton mail free for hosting if you want something free ?

Sure they have it for 500 mb , but there was a deal to get 5gb instead but I think (Okay so I don't have 5gb) but still 500mb is decent enough , like some others said , you could also export some emails locally and use syncthing but I don't know for me 500mb is decent
Technically you’re correct, but from a product point of view one should be able to get answers beyond the cut-off date. The current product fails to realise that some queries like “who is the current president of the USA” are time based and may need a search rather than an excuse.
Exactly. The formalism of computer code will always create some amount of boilerplate—there's no perfect language—but in my (admittedly limited) experience, an LLM is a middleman which distances you unacceptably from your own code. Whether you review the code or you write the code, the intellectual effort of deciding which approach is best and understanding the solution still needs to be undertaken. All it's saving you are the keystrokes, at which point it's glorified intellisense.

how about improvmx , it gives redirection for free , I have also discovered it right now in this thread though I think I had heard about it (I am not sure , I know of some email software where you pay one time and then you can self host or they host I am not sure)

> Misunderstanding benchmarks seems to be the first step to claiming human level intelligence.

It's known as "hallucination" a.k.a. "guessing or making stuff up", and is a major challenge for human intelligence. Attempts to eradicate it have met with limited success. Some say that human intelligence will never reach AGI because of it.
I never thought I would say it, but the 128gb mbp is probably the most cost efficient way ( and probably easiest ) of doing it. New nvidia cards ( 5090 ) are 32gb and supposedly just shy of 2k and used a100 40gb is about 8k..

All in all, not a cheap hobby ( if you are not doing it for work ).
It's worth noting that the original FizzBuzz problem is not "given a number n, print..." but rather "for the first 100 natural numbers, print...". In this formulation, you don't need the modulo operator: you just initialize two counters at 3 and 5, respectively, decrement them each time, and react when either or both reach 0.

How long ago was this? For at least the last 10 years or so (when I tried and completely failed my first Google interview), Google recruiters have asked what language you want to use in advance. The recruiter would then assign you to interviewers who know that language and can pick questions which are appropriate for that language.

The countries I am familiar with in Europe (NL to name one) you can buy sim cards without any ID. Additionally there's at least 1 provider I know of that's giving them away for free while for the majority you pay 1-5 EUR but get some data after activation.

“Penny testing” is common in the real world, and isn’t limited to verifying bank accounts. It’s more broadly used to describe testing with very small amounts in production. That’s my experience anyway, working with various payments processors and BaaSes.
Also, Jupyter(Lab,Notebook,QtConsole,etc), Marimo, Spyder, and a bunch of other good GUI-like options. :)
Since we’re (as in the human race) going to go ahead and push for AGI with reckless abandon, the best thing that can happen is for it to be available to everyone, no moats. I can’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude given that this was supposed to be the very principle that OpenAI was founded on and that they abandoned at the first whiff of money. Now, it looks like it’s going to happen whether they want it to or not.
You’re quite right. We’d need similar benchmarks done with other compositors.

I very much doubt that Wayland makes a difference for this test; Wayland is for IPC between the client and server. Moving the cursor around is done by the server, without needing to talk to the client.

Kudos, great execution on the project and on the code too.

Question: Is there a good equivalent of the Dewey Decimal system for household and/or business expenses? I like your two level breakdown in default_categories.yaml and the must/need/want system and I’m wondering what prior art you used to put that together?

I see about 800 payees for my own transactions over the past two years and while the big ticket items are easy enough to spot — my favourite grocery store, my landlord, etc. — having a taxonomy that can encompass the long tail of spending would give me confidence that I have 100% understanding of my finances.

Edit: Here’s one from some UN statisticians. Turn to page 40 of the PDF (p27 in print) for the basic structure overview:

https://unstats.un.org/unsd/classifications/Econ/Download/In...

The overview felt quite ergonomic but rebalancing the overview to maintain constant branching might be useful. Section 625 on “retail services” is very large.

Show HN: Structured Outputs with Deepseek R1
This is our interactive playground that uses our framework (BAML https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml) to do structured outputs with R1, without the use of tool-calling APIs or fine-tuning required.

We have a more fleshed out playground at https://promptfiddle.com as well.

BAML is a DSL for prompts, where prompts are modeled as functions. Our compiler transforms your LLM function declaration into the relevant API call, and will also parse the output for you.

We serialize using "type definitions" instead of using json schemas, since they are more efficient and easier to understand for models. We talk more about why here: https://www.boundaryml.com/blog/type-definition-prompting-ba...

We ran the Berkeley Function Calling Benchmark some months ago on our approach and achieved really good results https://www.boundaryml.com/blog/sota-function-calling?q=0

At my day job, we are required by auditors to have automation that reports on CVEs and CVSS scores. Then, a non-technical human comes to bug us about them. I think there's something to be said about how, if something can be misused, someone will come along to misuse it, so perhaps we should all be more mindful in designing misuse resistance.

Not an LLM, just someone who has way too much time on my hands and a penchant for jumping into internet comment threads in a way that I end up regretting later. I'm not sure whether I should take it as a compliment that I can apparently type with flawless spelling and grammar just like an LLM (shout outs to my excellent English teachers!) or as an insult that my writing is not particularly compelling.

Yes, I naturally type in walls of text that are usually grammatically sound but tend to meander in structure. I'm pretty sure I repeated myself in places. You're repeating yourself in places, too. But believe what you want to believe. Maybe you're the LLM and the dead internet theory is well underway.

> With the regular domains, you simply lodge a complaint with the registrar, and they'll roll back the transfer within 90 days.

Domain registrars (for DNS) do not do this and they structurally cannot do this.

> You can lose a domain if you basically register it, don't use it, and then forget to renew it for a year.

Equally true of both systems.

> We're not talking about the general cryptography, which is incredibly useful. We're talking about "code is law" blockchains with proof-of-work/proof-of-stake method of consensus. They are completely useless for anything but paying for illicit drugs and other illegal transactions.

When you say that, what I hear is "When you use cryptography to sign messages, it's incredibly useful. When you timestamp messages, that can also be useful. But if you sign and timestamp messages, that makes it a Blockchain and Blockchains are incredibly UnUseful. That's silly.

To be very clear I think "code is law" is a nonsensical idea, almost as incongruous as the term "cryptocurrency" itself. They are definitely not currencies, and their code is definitely not law. But blockchains can be useful without trying to create new currencies, and without their code being law.

I've been seeing where the tides are headed in both the public and private sectors, and everyone wants to use cross-organization attributable append-only timestamped databases as an accounting tool now, in part because they are so easily auditable. From there it makes perfect sense to want to attach expressive internal constraints to these databases, via a scripting language. And I'm not sure what anyone could call that kind of database except "blockchain".
This has roughly the same pricing as Fastmail just that it offers much smaller plans. If you are really that tight about money, have your domain DNS on cloudflare and redirect mail to gmail and send from a Cloudflare worker. A bit of a hassle but completely free.

Fastmail is worth it though as it has a really good web client and can do other nice things (Calendar, rules, notes, store random files, etc..)
Not any more. We replaced it with our own code that did exactly what we needed it to do.

This FP piece just took the surface value of Alibaba's story. Xi took down Ma not bc of his wealth or influence, but for his effort of building political alliances for the last decade.

If you have to put that in US terms, it's less about Big Tech, more about dark money and so on.
All systems - political, technological, ecological - need active monitoring, management and occasional triage. This is less about Communist China 'getting it right' about Big Tech, it is they are inherently aware that there are other forces in society which can capture or subvert or control political power compared to the US, which seems to be unaware or uncaring of the takeover of govt by billionaires. The price of political freedom might end solidifying oligarchical control
The BCG vaccine does exist, but it's an 90 year old live-virus vaccine with short-term side effects. Because it's a live-virus "natural" vaccine, it can't be used on people who are immunocompromised or have HIV. There's work on more modern vaccines.[1] No big successes yet.

The safety record of the BCG vaccine, in terms of permanent harm, is pretty good.
But a normal side effect is "The usual expected reaction to BCG vaccination is redness and/or a small lump at the injection site, followed by a small ulcer (open sore) a few weeks later (usually less than 1 cm in diameter). The ulcer may last from a few weeks to months before healing to a small flat scar."[2] Mass vaccination will have parents screaming "my perfect baby has an open sore from the vaccine" on Instagram, with pictures.

The classic live-virus smallpox vaccine has similar side effects, by the way, plus a death rate of 1-2 per million.

Huge political problem. Remember all the screaming about the COVID vaccines, which are pure RNA, can't replicate, and have fewer side effects.

I wonder if the “biggest contribution” was parsed differently in different eras. The Soviets clearly sacrificed the most, which probably was very felt by people who were surrounded by all the dying and personally experienced the violence.

The US industrial contribution is easier to understand looking back. It makes a lot of sense to us nowadays, looking at it in a table (not to cheapen it, it was an astonishing amount of stuff that was produced).

It seems entirely possible that the Soviets gave up more for the victory, while the US contributed more to victory.
Nope. They still have only a Lithuanian license, plus maybe one for the UK.

I don't know if the point should be that people won't use a startup bank, just that the assets being directed to the startups/disruptors are not presently threatening to the big banks. I would suspect this is currently the case with WealthSimple here in Canada as well. WealthSimple is at something like $50 billion assets under management [1].

Vanguard asset allocation ETFs are at like $1.3T [2]. 4 Of Canada's Big banks appear to add up to just over 2T Assets under management based on what Google just gave me as summary. So while I think this is a great outcome for a startup (even with Power backing them), to me it seems in a similar space as the above article that we're still talking a relatively small market share, and likely still closer to early adopter status.

> Regular mutual funds usually have higher risk ... than the ETFs.

Can you provide some specific examples? If anything, the transaction friction around mutual funds prevents most regular investors from unnecessary trading that exchange-listed ETFs allow. TL;DR: For most people, more trading means more losses or worse returns.
X.509 certificates are not simple, the majority of the complexity being in the extensions, and OpenSSL's x509 command can be used for many different purposes. I am reminded of an old saying in the GUI vs CLI war: "what you see is all you get", and in this case, you get a lot.
Agreed! „z“ and atuin (https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin) cover most of my needs.
Yes, we started with Kopf.

As we understood it, Kopf lets you build an entire operator in Python, with the watch/update/cache/expansion logic all implemented in Python. But the first operator we wrote in it just didn't feel right. We had to talk to the K8S API from Python to do all the expansions. It was too complex. We also had aesthetic issues with the Kopf API.

Metacontroller gave us a small, Go binary which takes care of all the complex parts (watch/update/cache). Having to write only the expansion part in Python felt like a great simplification - especially now that we have Pydantic.

I think that’s sort of the point of SPAC: a lot less scrutiny than a full on IPO so shakier companies can go public.

If someone is the type who willingly hand over their money knowing what a SPAC is and does, he’s a contrarian who smarter than everyone else, an idiot, or someone who thinks he can make a quick buck by letting the idiot hold the bag at the end — but really the latter two end up being the same.

I don't agree. You won't cite an LLM in an academic paper as a source (since it's unverifiable and not reproducible), and claiming than an LLM's result is your own original would be fraud. So unless you never plan on publishing anything ever, what's the point?

Respectfully, I don't understand what your problem is. First, you don't have to debug any code. That's your personal choice. Second, whether LLM are used or not is irrelevant. The original developer is the party that decides to check and double-check his work and whether he extensively verified what the code is doing (and maybe tightly tested it). LLMs are not making this worse or better.

Thanks, this is what I was referring to.

Honestly I'm quite confused why he chose to talk about that.
These are not requirements (it's your book!) but here are some suggestions for things that I'd find interesting:

Convolution (including via-FFT where it's mainly just complex-multiplication). Different neighborhoods and operations on them: Laplacian, curl/divergence, derivatives/slopes, completely-custom-weights/operations etc. Non-raster (ie analytical) convolution is something I find fascinating and haven't experimented with.

Noises both in the Perlin sense and the Blue-noise sense. Such a fundamentally useful building block!

Dealing with anisotropy both in shading, and texture filtering.

Color spaces. Hardly need to say more than that (apart from maybe 'HSV' should get a solid go). I think getting some solid clarity on what 'linear-to-light- color spaces are and how and when to work with them, is a critically important thing that is very often overlooked.

Acceleration structures - you often see stuff written about these for 3d (to speed up ray-intersection-tests for example) but I think there's probably lots of interesting acceleration stuff for 2d graphics too!

Feedback (ie 'solvers') in the 2D pixel realm - Game of Life (I have HashLife in mind) is just the tiniest-tip of the iceberg there, and Reaction Diffusion takes some solid steps but there's also repeated-warping (ie cheap 'advection') and repeated neighborhood-based pixel/cell operations that I think are an under-explored area.

Complex numbers and Orbits-based fractal-rendering. Mainly because I think it's fascinating, but also very useful for getting more comfortable with complex numbers and antialiasing these beasts that can indeed cause a LOT of aliasing!

Lots-of-points style fractal/etc rendering (eg Flame fractals, IFS, Buddhabrot, that kind of thing, or just HEAPS of particles!) Including how to cope with zooming-in when using that rendering scheme (I have not used it myself but I heard-about and saw great things that used 'Metropolis sampling' in order to make zooming practical.)

I think it would be great to include a section covering all the amazing work that originates in the demoscene and all the great techniques that have come from it. ShaderToy is one example of this, and there are many more.

That's enough for now! Best of luck with your book! Happy to talk further if u want! Email is on my profile.
