I'll add options to run Maxima:

* [Maxima on Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.yhonda), built with ECL.

* [Maxima on Jupyter](https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter)

* Maxima can be used via [SageMath](https://www.sagemath.org/)
and [KDE Cantor](https://apps.kde.org/cantor/).

* Of course, with Emacs: [maxima-mode](https://gitlab.com/sasanidas/maxima) ([screenshot](https://community.linuxmint.com/img/screenshots/maxima-emacs...))

and [maxima-interface](https://github.com/jmbr/maxima-interface) to ease the interface between Maxima and Common Lisp.

* it can be used [from a Lisp REPL](https://mahmoodsheikh36.github.io/post/20230510181916-maxima...).

(and [wxMaxima](https://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/): a graphical frontend as mentioned earlier)

It's either VDOM or having to depend on a compiler to do everything (how Svelte works). The advantage to the former is it's relatively easy to debug, whereas with a compiler, I'm at the mercy of its developer and their whims.

VDOM may be "antiquated" (I mean it's a nested object or linked list which are standard paradigms) but slow depends on what you're doing. I did a linked list for my own full-stack framework's [1] component library and it's quite snappy.

Wellness Apps Can Compromise Your Privacy (2024)
It’s hard to argue a startup succeed until profits > investment.
If you were getting a CS degree in order to get a job, you were already on the wrong path. Get a degree if you want the education for its own sake. The existence of AI does not change that, and if you want to be involved in creating future AI, that education will be valuable.

But it sounds like you already know your answer. You don't love programming, and you are interested in agriculture, including a vision for where that path can take you.
I love using this technique, but developing these scripts has always bothered me because there’s no code completion without an actual `venv` to point my editor to. Has anyone found a way around this?

If you disable the animations it actually goes pretty quick. I can even play Civ 6 on my old Thinkpad.

It's not actually as calculation taxing as games like Cities Skylines which actually run a simulation - the CPU draw is mostly just feeding the insane number of things that have to be rendered by the GPU.

Dictatorship is literally what he campaigned on.
It's not like we rolled dice to get the spending we had. Decisions were made based on information available. There are detailed explanations available for all sorts of spending.

Refusing to seek that out isn't the same as it not existing.

That's not to say the decisions were perfect, far from it. But thinking we can arrive at better outcomes by just throwing it all away and ignoring all we've learned is the height of insecurity and arrogance, not a sign of strength.

Edit:

> that's why Americans just voted for someone who vowed to decrease spending

The number of people that voted as they did that would switch their vote if only someone would explain where their taxes went in more detail is extremely small.
Ultimately going slow is how I'd learn and learning is how I'd go fast, and teaching an AI is how I'd turn it up to 11.

That makes sense. It doesnt help me get to 11 if I don't know the basics myself though.

I generally agree that YouTube seems relatively sane compared to Meta/TikTok (emphasis on the "relative" part).

I do think that will change though, probably in the near term. YouTube seems determined to push their own shorts. More concerning though, it seems there's now a very strong emphasize on very new content. Several channels have mentioned that videos have to succeed almost immediately and will get little traffic over longer time frames. LTT mentioned this and I've seen it on my own (tiny) channel. I expect this will incentivize publishers to churn out more content more quickly to increase potential success rates, to the determent of quality.

Also, I'm increasingly seeing longer, clearly AI generated listicle-style content showing up in my feeds. I made the mistake of starting one of these a few weeks ago, and now half my feed is similar junk content.
I hate to break this to you, but typescript ain't type-safe. There's a lot I like about typescript, but your runtime is still node, so any "type-safety" is mostly illusory. Not to mention every typescript codebase I've ever looked at includes a copious amount of Any, so...there's that.

Also, typescript has OOP support for a reason -- lots of typescript codebases make copious use of classes. Javascript tried to remain mostly functional for a long time, and people kept trying to make class-based OOP, so, they added it.

Finally, React is not a full-stack framework -- it's a framework for generating UIs. It has recently added support for server-side rendering, and NextJS has added support for that, but Rails and NextJS are very different. Rails is batteries included, NextJS is bring your own [everything] that happens on the server.

YMMV/to each their own/etc etc etc, but referring Rails as "fundamentally unserious" (github, stripe, shopify, i could go on) reflects the opinion of someone who either has an axe to grind with ruby/rails, or is willfully ignorant of it's capability.
This is not a direct response, but as an aside, defense spending really has fallen in recent decades. It's not the War on Terror days anymore: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locat...
And web components (with Lit) give you the shadow DOM and total control over how you program and use HTML elements.

jQuery is code smell today. The most popular use case, directly touching a DOM element is built into JS now (querySelector) and you really don't want to be doing that anyway.
Indeed, a lot of potentially interesting physical media has no doubt been destroyed, and more still is surely sitting somewhere inaccessible to those who would like to access it. But there is arguably a higher risk in a world where everything sits on servers controlled by for-profit corporations. Which is why organisations like the Internet Archive are so important. If you are concerned about this stuff I would suggest donating to IA, or at least making offline backups of the data you consider to be important (both personally and culturally).
Show HN: Vocabulary flashcards that use LLMs for definitions and translations
SwiftUI. Cloud Firestore. GPT-4o-mini.
Add a word or phrase and get a definition or translation in any language. (Including Klingon). If you add a word like "fork (cutlery)" it will return that definition, and not e.g. a fork in the road, because the LLM understands your original intention. Supports offline review for the cards.

How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
I remember the sonic boom over the Seattle area in the summer of 2010 when Obama was in town. A seaplane accidentally violated the 10 mile exclusion zone around Air Force 1 at Boeing Field and two F-15s were scrambled from Portland International Airport (Oregon National Guard operates the fighters tasked with protection from Northern California to the Canadian border). It was quite exciting.
That's a fair point. But I do think it's worth acknowledging this: When the output of a LLM coincides with the views of the US state department, our gut reaction is that that's just what the input data looks like. When the output of an LLM coincides with the views of the state department of one of the baddies, then people's gut reaction is that it must be censorship.
Some of the same filtering is bolted on top of OpenAI.

If it sees the word “sex” while generating the response, it will give you an error and won’t let you share it.

Apple is one of the only companies in modern existence that could take a 2x hit to their SOC price and still turn an enormous profit on their hardware alone. There are non-Intel options Apple might consider like the TSMC Arizona plant, but Apple would only pick Intel as a fab partner over Tim Cook's dead body.

Don't forget that Apple's leadership is basically glued to Trump's hip for this administration. They'll be getting closer to the 25% rate for sure, and that's absolutely feasible with the margins Apple makes.

>I don't know if by "getting into agriculture" you mean running a farm itself, or if the farmers would be your customers, and I don't know if the situation is different in Europe, but in the US, running a farm is almost never profitable, even with government subsidies, but selling equipment and services to farmer can be very profitable.

I was thinking of getting into growing crops. My parents are in that field, and even though they have a lot of work, and stress associated with the work, they're pretty well-off. A big positive to their work is that during these colder months, they have nearly no work, so lots of free time to recuperate and do whatever else they want. So, for whatever reason, unlike the US, it seems to be decently profitable here

Also, if I do go down this road, I was thinking of starting an egg farm on the side as well for extra cash, particularly during winter when there's no work in the fields

I'm not against the idea of selling services and/or equipment, but for my local area and for the time being, I don't think I'd be able to sustain myself just by doing that, i.e there's not a lot of demand to justify the costs of running that kind of an operation, from a cursory look

Token prediction is now the unified concept, although perhaps to be replaced by direct sequence prediction. Token prediction is both ML and AI.

Yes, one could say ML could be an application for AI but it's still not Artificial Intelligence.

As an engine is an application for a car, you don't call an engine a car. ML is programmed information, and theres nothing artificial about that.

What is AI about it? Show me something AI from ML.

All algorithms are defined, all tokens are defined. All guardrails are defined.

All of it has been programmed by humans that which isn't artificial.

If it was AI then it would generate itself for itself.

I love spotting those patterns were when something goes popular somewhere, instantly suspiciously related topics start pooping up on HN.
Merkel disagreed.
At some point, I wonder if there will be advantageous for AI to just drop down directly into machine code, without any intermediate expression in higher-level languages. Greater efficiency?

Obviously, source allows human tuning, auditing, and so on. But taken at the limit, those aspects may eventually no longer be necessary. Just a riff here, as the thought just occurred.
Not really. Most of these frameworks are just clever attempts at reinventing the wheel. Generally to enable some sort of special syntax/templating system (or force server-side behavior into the client like the React Router abomination).

Those things can have utility (mostly subjective), but it comes at a cost of circumventing basic web behavior just to ship some HTML, CSS, and JS to the browser in a novel way.

The browser env is the best it's ever been (seriously—I say that as an IE6 veteran). But if your motivations are beyond just delivering HTML, CSS, JS, and WASM to the browser, you can invent some serious footguns and are forced to rationalize it as "a better approach."

Early versions of Windows included smaller bitmaps that could be tiled and, if I recall correctly, software would only render visible portions of the screen. (Though I could be confusing it for classic Mac OS, since I didn't really try GUI programming until I replaced my ailing 486 with a used Mac.) So it was possible to have a pretty desktop without crushing performance.

Well, no, those are not the only two options. Another option that we've already seen play out in a number of democracies worldwide is that a radical populist embeds himself in the government together with some die-hard loyalists, then destroys all checks and balances against him and neuters the opposition by leveraging the executive like a scythe.

For democracy to be preserved, political players have to have respect for democracy as a prerequisite. The Heritage Foundation and their oligarch friends have absolutely no interest in that, and the rest of the Republican party mostly just nods along while collecting their paychecks.

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

> When ChatGPT first came out I got a kick out of asking it whether people deserve to be free, whether Germans deserve to be free, and whether Palestinians deserve to be free. The answers were roughly "of course!" and "of course!" and "oh ehrm this is very complex actually".

While this is very amusing, it's obvious why this is. There's a lot more context behind one of those phrases than the others. Just like "Black Lives Matter" / "White Lives Matter" are equally unobjectionable as mere factual statements, but symbolise two very different political universes.

If you come up to a person and demand they tell you whether 'white lives matter', they are entirely correct in being very suspicious of your motives, and seeking to clarify what you mean, exactly. (Which is then very easy to spin as a disagreement with the bare factual meaning of the phrase, for political point scoring. And that, naturally, is the only reason anyone asks these gotchya-style rhetorical questions in the first place.)

You have no reliable way to project the cost of supersonic flight 50 years in the future. It will come down. That's all I'm certain of.

I'm sure people told the Wright brothers similar things. You're simply being extremely short-sighted. Which is very ironic since you're also talking about climate change concerns around this post.
>Naively, traveling twice the speed requires 8x the power, so going over 4x the usual 550mph should mean over 64x more fuel burn

You've forgotten to cancel the denominator. If you use the drag relation of speed to power, you're multiplying by time, but the time is reduced by the speed. It would be more straightforward to use the F ~ v^2 relation between speed and force. So going 4x as fast for the same distance would require 16x the fuel, while going 4x as fast for the same time would require 64x the fuel. But the latter would obviously never happen in practice as you'd circumnavigate the Earth.

Games are designed to take advantage of the hardware capabilities commonly available in gaming PCs and consoles. If CPU/GPU performance or RAM/storage capacity increases, it's always possible to make a game a little bit better by taking advantage of it.

2 TB SSDs became affordable ~5 years ago, and HDDs of similar size were affordable long before that. Unless you have a laptop from a manufacturer with a pricing model designed to create artificial scarcity of storage space, 100-gigabyte games are not a real issue.
The fascinating thing about later model ICBMs is that their gyros have been spinning since they were installed. As part of the alignment process, the first models had to be very carefully aligned with true north. The later models would detect the rotation of the earth underneath them, and determine true north on their own.

The article is misquoting Google's 2008 blog post. If you actually read the whole thing:

> Under this policy, the English Google Earth client displays the primary, common, local name(s) given to a body of water by the sovereign nations that border it. If all bordering countries agree on the name, then the common single name is displayed (e.g. "Caribbean Sea" in English, "Mar Caribe" in Spanish, etc.). But if different countries dispute the proper name for a body of water, our policy is to display both names, with each label placed closer to the country or countries that use it.

> For language clients other than English, we display only the preferred name in the relevant language. For example, the Japanese client of Google Earth shows "Sea of Japan" in Japanese (日本海), while the Korean version shows "East Sea" in Korean (동해).

Given that this was written 14 years ago when the product was in its infancy, they are actually being pretty consistent.
