I use a mixture of both discovery and planning. The problem with pure discovery approach is I sometimes start to code when I am not completely attentive because of deadlines, and if I am working with a larger codebase it is difficult to instantly start writing code because you need some time to understand the context. I always have a text file open all the time where I note down stuff such as: context, plans, ideas, edge cases, conflicts, todos etc.; it serves as a swap memory.
Securing AI means securing model inference
There isn't much to be educated about. Scientific research about the long-term effects of any of these is inconclusive, even on alcohol and tobacco which is everywhere. All they know is smoking increases the risk of lung cancer.
Alrighty. I'm still really keen to find out what metrics you personally care about.
> right but the "only in communion with God" part seems less supported than the general need for love in a community/ fulfillment.

In the Christian tradition, love of neighbour is important:

> "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He [Jesus] said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Commandment

And how does one love both God and neighbour at the same time? By loving one's neighbour one loves God as well:

> Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

> The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

Will there be a Linux version anytime soon!?
Their next generation of APUs will have a lot more memory bandwidth and there will probably be lots of AMD APU laptops with 64GB+ of RAM that can use HW acceleration and not be artificially segmented the way Nvidia can do it with VRAM being soldered.

All f64 bit patterns are valid.
Yep I think that is an interesting point! I definitely think there are important ways in which human intelligence is embodied, but yeah - if we are modeling intelligence as a function, there's no obvious reason to think that whatever influence embodiment has on the output can't be "compressed" in the same way – after all, it doesn't matter generally how ANY of the reasoning that AI is learning to reproduce is _actually_ done. I suppose, though, that that gets at the later emphasis:

> Drawing an overly close equivalence between human intelligence and AI risks succumbing to a functionalist perspective, where people are valued based on the work they can perform

One might concede that AI can produce a good enough simulation of an embodied intelligence, while emphasizing that the value of human intelligence per se is not reducible to its effectiveness as an input-output function. But I agree the vatican's statement seems to go beyond that.
Export restrictions on US models seem like a boon for French Mistral, not a problem.

Even if for now France is strong-armed into applying the same restrictions, they will be in a much better position than US companies if US-Europe relations deteriorate. Something that's not entirely unlikely under Trump. We are a week into his presidency and France is already talking about deploying troops to Greenland

You make this sound trivial, but I did this (not with a blog per se, but with a silly one-shot parody website I made for fun) and the first time it got posted on HN it exceeded my hosts bandwidth limits in the first hour despite only having a handful of images. Unless you never write anything popular, you at least need a static host like github pages or a cdn or something behind it.
Most latency isn't caused by SOL restrictions. It's usually the repeaters, firewalls, routers, and packet queues that slow things down. It only takes 103ms for light to circumnavigate the globe. However, latencies at only half that distance are over 500ms due to router latency.

Starlink is pretty good for communicating with the other side of the globe because of their routing over laser comms. I've known professional gamers that use it to reduce latencies to servers in Asia and the Middle East.
I'm sort of married to Sublime Text. I install all my plugins via "git clone" and never Package Control. Then I study their details, customize them in the source, modify keybindings etc. If you are this attached to a tool, it becomes an extension to your body.

P.S. No need to say that I update my plugins through code review!
"Commercial jet collides with helicopter during landing", while not the article title, would be far more accurate.
I went and re-watched the PBS Spacetime episode on neutron star collisions, and while he didn't address this specifically (at least in that episode,) there was an animation that seemed to show beams emitting from the poles. I think it's the case that the gamma ray emissions follow that pattern. IIRC, it has something to do with the magnetic field orientation. (I'm just a lay person entertained by cosmology, so not very confident.) Above a certain combined mass, neutron star collisions are one way that black holes form, so that would line up with what you said you read.
Even if you're just doing a 2-body problem around the moon you'll get wildly wrong orbits over a timespan of just months if you treat the moon as a point mass (the way that's relatively safe to do with Earth, in comparison). Lunar mascons are so strong you can't even rely on a plumbob to point straight down if you want just tenth-of-a-degree accuracy. These perturbations are so severe there are only effectively only four (instead of 90) stable inclinations for low lunar orbits.

Literally every body in the solar system acts on every other body at all times. All asteroids in the asteroid belt are perturbed by Mars and Jupiter, right? Except if you recognize the need to include Mars in calculating their trajectories, you need immediately to at least also account for the 4 Gallilean moons, who sum to about the same mass as Mars, and now you have a 7-body problem. You won't get correct results on trajectories of Earth approaches if you discount the mass of our moon, nor if you discount the rest of the asteroid belt (4% of our moon's mass)... etc.
It might have rights despite not being sacred. Since nobody believes robots have an afterlife, I don't see why sanctity would matter, as long as their rights, whatever they be, are respected.
I believe we are currently measuring recent functional selection on humans and it's non-zero. That is, empirically you are incorrect.
> This gives me little hope for people pitching AI leading us into a better society unless the hearts of the people with the power are trustworthy and faithful to promoting good for people rather than profit for themselves.

Agree. I see parallels to communism: in theory it sounds alright - spread the wealth, everyone works for the collective etc. - but in practise it doesn’t work because people are greedy and leaders inevitably become dictators.

With AI it’s similar in that in theory it could be impartial and level playing fields, but in practise they will be run by companies and governments where the same old human fallibilities persist.

If you can’t trust the leaders then you can’t trust their machines either.
Show HN: I Built a Fairer Product Hunt Alternative (and It's Taking Off)
A little over a week ago, I was sitting in front of my computer wondering if anyone would care about the thing I’d just built.

Let me rewind a bit.

I’m a solo indie maker, just like a lot of you. I’ve built so many projects, put in the work, and then… nothing. A few months ago, I launched something I was genuinely proud of on one of the big platforms. I was excited, hopeful. But within hours, it got buried under a pile of other launches. No one saw it. No one cared.

That sucked. Not because I expected it to blow up overnight, but because it felt like I never even had a shot. And I kept thinking about how many other indie makers feel the same way?

So, I decided to build something different.

I coded for four days straight, juggling my 9-5 job, running on no sleep, and a lot of self-doubt. But I kept going because I believed in the idea: a platform where indie makers could get a fair shot.

The idea was simple (but powerful as I see it):
• 10 launches per day, max. Every product gets its moment in the spotlight.
• 2 votes per user, per day. Quality over quantity.
• An "Under Radar" feature to give overlooked products a second chance.
• A randomized product list to ensure fair exposure and reduce voting bias.

I posted about it here on Hacker News and on X, half-expecting crickets. But something incredible happened. Within hours, indie makers just like you and me started scheduling their products.

And in just 7 days, over 150 products were scheduled to launch on the platform.

Every time a new product is scheduled on ItsLaunched, I'm reminded why this platform needs to exist. These are products that deserve to be seen. I'm not sharing this to boast, but to thank this community. Your support, your feedback, and most importantly, your willingness to give a platform like this a chance, means the world to me.

I’m still tweaking and improving the site every day based on feedback. It’s far from perfect, but it’s growing.

So, if you're a maker with a product you're stoked about, come check us out at ItsLaunched.com and if you've already launched with us, a huge thank you. You're the reason this thing exists in the first place.

As for me, I'm just a maker trying to create something that makes a difference. And thanks to this community, I feel like maybe, just maybe, we're doing exactly that. Here's to the makers and the dreamers. Keep building awesome things. We'll be here to make sure the world sees them.

Thanks. That's probably what I should do next time around: Follow the video exactly and confirm it works before I start tinkering. I wanted to use my choice of model and I think I diverged from the beaten path enough that it caused problems.
I agree, but I think there's good reason to be skeptical of the effectiveness of current targeted online ads (in terms of actually getting people to buy products and services that are advertised), and I don't see how AI could make that better.

That being said, so far the people who buy online ads don't seem to actually care if they're effective or a worthwhile investment, so that may not actually matter.
I suppose if your lens is actually a vertical stack of lenses, each with hundreds of inputs and outputs, then why wouldn't this work? Although I cannot fathom fabricating it. Maybe start by finding the absolute simplest/smallest image classifier you can
I'm also a career web application developer with a strong interest in AI and I think you're onto something. AI apps are today where web apps were in 1995 and there's lots of opportunity to contribute to new kinds of apps and use cases.

I started out poking around with custom LLM tools and RAG about 2 years ago and have written a series of articles[0] on Medium that might give you some good working vocabulary as well as help you pick a specialization.

The TL;DR would be to think about how the web apps you already know how to build could benefit from LLM and RAG integrations, then build those yourself using the API from a commercial model (like OpenAI). Credits are cheap enough that you can build several apps (locally, on whatever web foundation you like) and test them out while you refine your skills.

can't remember where i read this, but significant and big leaps in evolution seem to often happen in times of crisis when the environment forces it. that's not to say that evolution doesn't happen all the time with little pressure it's just very slow when things are more stable. by extension big leaps in evolution can really be down to a low number of individuals. read an article about a genetic study claiming the human population was down to a few thousand individuals around 90k years ago.

> Europe, in between the time when births moved to hospitals and before women became doctors

Don't know about the rest of Europe, but in the UK midwives became an official profession in 1902 and have consistently almost all been women, whilst most births would have been at home until the introduction of the NHS in 1948.
Pinning objects to single threads and message passing and/or transactions systems. Transactions typically aren’t seen at the language level and are more common within database systems. Typically a thread-per-core design with objects pinned to cores randomly would scale the best even for transactions; you can develop hotspots but in practice you win a lot more by not having to synchronize unless you’re doing cross-object transactions.

I’m not aware of any language that provides these kinds of guarantees statically or what that would even look like. You’re asking for a lot vs where the cutting state of language design is.

no one is having babies mon ami. birth rates are declining.

it's not about killing people before reproductive age, it's about absolute numbers of offspring born. dying before reproducing ensures that number stays 0, but you can still hit sexual maturity and not reproduce.

plus there is a fertility window -- after 50 most humans, male or female, ain't having kids (a handful of rockstar types whelping babies at 80 notwithstanding).

there is a TON of meaningful pressure in our environment, like the inability to have a living wage reducing how many Gen Z's are marrying and having kids.

I could not disagree with these points more. I cannot speak to other faiths, but having been raised as a Christian (and having read the Bible in its entirety at one point), this form of Christian apologism neatly steps over the logical incongruities and moral failings fundamental to Christianity.

It's the absence of belief in a deity - and therefore the recognition that the starting conditions of our lives was random chance, out of our control - that provides the foundation that all humans are equal and of equal value. That after 14 billion years of my atoms circling the universe I sprung forth, child of middle-class but reasonably well-educated parents in the United States, and not the child of struggling farmers in Australia, or drug addicts in Eastern Europe, was complete chance. To me this means that I am of no more importance than people born to those situations, irrespective of what they eventually managed to accomplish.

It's the absence of belief in a deity - and therefore the realization that life is finite, precious, non-transferable, and fair in so far as much is the product of chance - that means we should prefer human life over sentient robots. The consciousness of a one-day sentient robot will likely be transferrable, and therefore durable mostly indefinitely. Mine consciousness is, as of yet, not.

It's the absence of belief in a deity that neatly solves the problem of evil in the world. And so on, and so forth.

I'm happy for people to be comforted by religion, as they hurtle through a probabilistic universe, trying to fill the time between their birth and their death with meaning and enjoyment. When we die, it's unlikely that even a single lifetime later people then alive will even know or think about how we ever existed. So do what you must to be comfortable now. It'll all be over soon.
Agree that US is at a disadvantage for innovation because of lawsuits, wonder if it will eventually lead to US becoming 2nd place of innovation.

> there is deep wisdom in the Bible that absolutely can provide us clear moral guidance in our modern problems

Of course there is. It’s a text that has survived two millennia. Almost anything that old is interesting due to selection effect.

The problem is not only has the book survived, but so have several political institutions and ways of thinking around it. Not from the time of Jesus. But from the centuries and millennia emperors and kings. That has resulted in our modern experience of Christianity, particularly in the West, as an antagonist to social progress. Pick a social issue fifty years ago, take most institutional church’s positions, and they’re pretty consistently wrong. (There are notable exceptions, of course.)

Religious texts contain deep wisdom. I’m much more sceptical of men of cloth, men who track the careers of politicians and CEOs yet, somehow, with even less accountability.

Maybe we need a new prophet for the modern world. One who tells of the Kingdom of Heaven having been voluntarily relinquished for a Republic. (The Bible was written in the shadow of Rome’s republic. It enshrines that era’s imperial tradition because if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t have survived.)
We can simultaneously acknowledge this amazing safety record and still want to fix issues that are found.

Ah. I think I misunderstood the purpose of the app. When viewing the main page, I had the impression that the output would be targeting large Atmos multi-speaker installations.
Or that it would export to a format that can play spatially on AirPods.

So right now, is it possible to make something in Audiocube and export it to native spatial AirPod sound ?

Softstart is often good design though and shouldn't be too hard anymore.

How many circuits cannot afford 100us of softstart?

I guess to your point though: 100uF of capacitance (because of a lot of 10uF caps) to 3.3V requires a 3.3Amp softstart over those 100us startup time. So you still can't go crazy spammy.

While 100x 100 nF caps is only 10uF all together.

It sounds like your issues with doctors is that they lack basic human compassion, yet you want to replace them with "robots" who are incapable of compassion whatsoever?
The loop unrolling & invariant hoisting is a static transformation. What the “read” function does semantically isn’t captured today within that and the compiler wouldn’t be able to automatically infer it. It would have to be told that information and there would need to be unsafe annotations for things like syscalls and FFI boundaries. The other approach is to change the API which is what BorrowedBuf is.

If you can think of a different approach of how the compiler can figure out automatically what memory has become initialized by a random function call I’m all ears.
As someone who's lived in the Netherlands for quite a long while, this is downright funny to read. No offense to the Dutch, but food is the last thing they're good at and they're pretty infamous for its blandness.

There are endless examples of libraries being updated, due to bad code in the library. It's not a rare event, it's very, very common.

If a library is abandoned, and no one is around updating the code for vulnerabilities, it's trouble. That's because one day you can use it, and the next you cannot.
