It's been my experience that business success is less about intelligence, and more about the right combination of intelligence and motivation. Succeeding as an entrepreneur takes an extreme amount of work and fortitude that has to come along with your intelligence.

And motivation counts for more than intelligence. A genius who doesn't want to do anything but read and collect a secure pay-cheque isn't cut out to be an entrepreneur. Where someone who has the pure motivation to build a business, but less brute force intelligence, is much more likely to actually do so.

Basically the upper limit of our earning potential is limited by how much work and stress we're willing to take on, not how smart we are. And this explanation also doesn't dive into the equally important requisite of social skill.
you probably didn't define the function, f(x,y), which is the line before plot3d. it's a slightly buggy behavior
Reading through the PR makes me glad I got off GitHub - not for anything AI-related, but because it has become a social media platform, where what should be a focused and technical discussion gets derailed by strangers waging the same flame wars you can find anywhere else.
They claim to, but they drag their feet, demand terms most researchers find so unacceptable as to be a bit immoral (the point of "responsible disclosure" isn't, in fact, to hold secrets from the public arbitrarily long), and often end up paying only a fraction of what was expected, if anything.

The Big Problem Paradox: High prevalence makes problems seem less dangerous
One thing I would add for people who are new to this is you can do

??something; to get the internal help. So say I want to know how to solve ODEs in maxima, do

??ode;
…and you’ll get help. It generally does a search and presents a numbered list of options and you’ll want to type a number and a semicolon.

Absolutely the AI. At that point in the future I'm presuming that if something breaks it's because an external API or whatever dependency broke, not because the AI code has an inherent bug.

But if it does it could still fix it.

And you won't have to tell it anything, alerts will be sent if a test fails and it will fix it directly.
I really like this idea.

However, it also highlights a key problem that LLMs don’t solve: while they’re great at generating code, that’s only a small part of real-world software development. Setting up a GitHub account, establishing credibility within a community, and handling PR feedback all require significant effort.

In my view, lowering the barriers to open-source participation could have a bigger impact than these AI models alone. Some software already gathers telemetry and allows sharing bug reports, but why not allow the system to drop down to a debugger in an IDE? And why can’t code be shared as easily as in Google Docs, rather than relying on text-based files and Git?

Even if someone has the skills to fix bugs, the learning curve for compilers, build tools, and Git often dilutes their motivation to contribute anything.

When will Americans stop using superlatives and lie all the time about everything they try to market / advertise ? There was russian tupolev and french-british concorde before ya know you're not the first one unless you modify the meaning of words ("civil" here, used for "a private company", but even here we could argue that Aéropostale was a private company) you're using or you create so small a niche that you're number 1 in it, purely for marketing / manipulation purposes. I very much dislike this kind of marketing and makes me not want to read anything techcrunch writes. Why do we still put up with those basic and obvious manipulation techniques ?

Cool detail, in the section where they reverse-engineer the presence of an LVP on the M3:

Remarkably, while all other load widths activate the LVP
on any constant value fitting that width, we observe that acti-
vation on 8-byte wide loads occurs only when the load value
is zero. We conjecture that this may be a countermeasure for
memory safety such that the LVP will not learn values of
pointers. That is, with the M3 being a 64-bit CPU, pointers
are 8 bytes wide. Furthermore, on 64-bit macOS executables,
any virtual address below 0x100, 000, 000 is invalid.
Also Concorde wasn't "built" by governments. Funded by, perhaps..
Prevelance:

prevalence, n.: "the total number or percentage of cases (e.g., of a disease or disorder) existing in a population, either at a given point in time (point prevalence) or during a specified period (period prevalence). For example, health researchers may want to investigate the prevalence of a new disease in an area, whereas education researchers may be interested in the prevalence of bullying or cheating among students of a certain age group. See also incidence."

Alas. My account has expired.
Think the marginal cost of developing complex software goes down thereby making it affordable to a greater market. There will still be a need for skilled software engineers to understand domains, limitations of AI, and how to harness and curate AI to develop custom apps. Maybe software engineering for the masses. Local small businesses can now maybe afford to take on custom software projects that were before unthinkable.
I agree that the moats are weak for applications, but I think there are possible strategies to capture users. One way is to make it difficult to switch, similar to Apple Music vs Spotify or iPhone vs Android. Although these platforms offer very similar features, switching has high friction. As an example, I can imagine an AI app that has been adapted to your use cases, maybe it has a lot of useful information stored about you and your projects which makes it much more effective, and switching to some other app would mean you have to move all this data or possibly start over from zero.
Only if you don't care if baddies see you go fast
To play devils advocate, the main obstacle in launching a product doesn't involve the actual development/coding. Unless you're building something in hard-tech, it's relatively easy to build the run of the mill software.

The obstacles are in marketing, selling it, building a brand/reputation, integrating it with lots of 3rd party vendors, and supporting it.

So yes, you can build your own Salesforce, or your own Adobe Photoshop with a one-man crew much faster and easier. But that doesn't mean you, as an engineer can now build your own business selling it to companies who don't know anything about you.
I don’t think it’s over, we’ve just hit the end of post war prosperity, and we are shifting our parties’ respective structures.

The idea that we’ve literally never elected any president younger than a boomer is telling. The party is facing an intergenerational crisis, and but both parties are captured by one generation. If the electorate realigns or one party begins to concern itself with the struggles of the 80’s and 90’s, things will go back to normal.

This is a series of repudiations, not an embrace of fascism.

Idk if it's RUB or Yuval, he was credited on spectre and meltdown as well (if I recall correctly), but he was at data61 or Uni adelaide at the time
The M1 doesn't have load address or value predictors. It's less sophisticated, and so has a smaller microarchitectural attack surface.
It really depends on the project size and amount of dependencies. Ruby is very flexible, so dependencies can make a huge mess. Vanilla Rails doesn’t have those issues.

The biggest risk when going with a long established solution is the potential danger of picking something that is on its way out of the zeitgeist. Not that picking your tech stack should be a popularity contest (and in fact many people make the wrong choice by chasing trends), but picking a component that has been left behind can have some real consequences (e.g. might become increasingly harder to find good talent for it).

But your post mentioned RoR is having a bit of a renaissance. Its maintainers are still invested in it, and there’s enough of a community that you’ll find support. To me that sort of answers your question.

I’ll also say I’ve learned to take opinions about technologies on HN with a grain of salt. You’ll often find someone gushing about something and then find out, it’s someone in a team of one working on a greenfield project. Their take may not be at all relevant depending on your specific situation.
Serious answer, don't use Safari. Use a browser that properly separates webpages into isolated processes so that this kind of cross-site read is not possible.
Do other browsers have process isolation for new tabs?
The LVP vulnerability was reported in September, for what it's worth.
Surely the government provides that? In my country it does. Those children EPOAs can also choose to give up their responsibility and the government will appoint a professional. It's not hard to just basically avoid hemorrhaging money.

It looks like the wasm file here is not fully optimized. Reading the wasm and JS, I'd guess -O1 perhaps? Linking with -O3 would make it smaller and possibly faster (10% smaller binary in a quick local test, and it removes 90% of locals, which should speed things up too)

But it is possible that it's already fast enough for the purposes here, and this doesn't matter.

Thanks again for sharing those benchmarks!

In that case, a list of 1000 strings should work just fine. Fast lookup and can accommodate any new rule that comes in.

I think new tooling built around LLMs that fits into our current software development lifecycle is going to make a big difference. I am experiencing firsthand how much more productive I am with LLM, and I think that in the future, we will start using "Can you review my conversation?" in the same way we use "Can you review my code?"

Where I believe LLMs are a real game changer is they make it a lot easier for us to consume information. For example, I am currently working on adding a Drag and Drop feature for my chat input box. If a junior developer is tasked with this, the senior developer can easily have the LLM generate a summary of their conversation like so:

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=d36e0282-4326-46cf-83b1-4207...

At this point, the senior developer can see if anything is missed; if desired, they can fork the conversation to ask the LLM questions like "Was this asked?" or "Was this mentioned?"

And once everybody is happy, you can have the LLM generate a PR title and message like so:

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=8aa19528-5891-4dda-9a88-247a...

All of this took me about 10 minutes, which would have taken me an hour or maybe more without LLMs.

And from here, you are now ready to think about coding with or without LLM.

I think with proper tooling, we might be able to accelerate the learning process for junior developers as we now have an intermediate layer that can better articulate the senior developers' thoughts. If the junior developer is too embarrassed to ask for clarification on why the senior developer said what they did, they can easily ask the LLM to explain.

The issue right now is that we are so focused on the moon shots for LLM, but the simple fact is that we don't need it for coding if we don't want to. We can use it in a better way to communicate and gather requirements, which will go a long way to writing better code faster.
Yes Rails 8 is great. However, pick what the team knows best. For example at a startup doing AI/ML where everyone already knows Python and we're doing a lot with Pandas and Jupyter, we're choosing to build our website CMS by using Django & HTMX.

BTW shoutout to the Loco team, for my favorite new web framework. If you're already working with Rust in general, and your business requires extreme speed and extreme reliability-- beyond simple horizontal scaling CPU/GPU/K8-- then take a look at the stack of Loco + Axum + Tokio + Rust.

I agree.

And for those who recommend a Garmin, an Oura ring or similar:

I have a Garmin and it's great but I cannot wear it during martial arts (grappling).

I also can't wear a ring doing weight lifting or when I'm grappling.

I had a Whoop and it was really good for tracking martial arts (the boxers with the holder was super comfortable) but alas it was expensive and the sleep tracking with it in the boxers was really poor.
It depends on your threat model. If you don't run any untrusted code on your hardware (including Javascript), you can safely disable the mitigations. If you do run untrusted code, keep them enabled.
That's not a failure of Safari, it's required by window.open API semantics, in particular by the default Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy of "unsafe-none" [1].

By setting a different policy, sites can protect themselves against this.

I guess technically browsers could open new windows in a new browsing context group regardless of this setting and relay the allowed types of messages via IPC (if any), but that would be a major performance hit, and I don't think any other browsers do it differently.

The writing was on the wall for in-process sandboxing with Spectre, but that seems to have faded a bit. This just re-enforces that. Things like "safe in-process sandboxing with WASM" are just a fantasy, it can't be implemented.

He's not immune from prosecution, but prosecution requires evidence. But he controls the evidecne and witnesses, and there's no way to compel him to produce evidence, witnesses to testify, or really conduct any substantive investigation. So, how does one prosecute that case? And who prosecutes it? The DOJ he controls? Or the Congress who are in his cult? And who rules against him, the SCOTUS and judges he appointed? Who would enforce the decision, himself?
Mostly agree, even without a database-centered worldview.

Programming languages are languages to tell the computer what to do. In the beginning, people wrote in machine code. Then, high level languages like C and FORTRAN were invented. Since then we’ve been iterating on the high level language idea.

These LLM based tools seem to be a more abstract way of telling the computer what to do. And they really might, if they work out, be a jump similar to the low/high level split. Maybe in the future we’ll talk about low-level, high-level, and natural programming languages. The only awkwardness will be saying “I have to drop down to a high level language to really understand what the computer is doing.” But anyway, there were programmers on either side of that first split (way more after), if there’s another one I suspect there will still be programmers after.
I know, that's exactly why I wrote "historic", but the current owners gave him an enormous amount of money, didn't clean up their act, and GoDaddy CONTINUES to be terrible.

The security breach we're discussing didn't happen 14 years ago, as you well know. They have a long and infamous track record and toxic corporate culture and unethical business practices and willfully misleading negligence of security that show no signs of improving.

So charming that you're on such a familiar first name basis with a piece of shit like Bob Parsons. Are you friends? Are you actually carrying the water for GoDaddy, or think it's ok to murder elephants and run incredibly sexist commercials while never giving a shit about security or customers? Yuck.
The vibe I got talking to people like Mark Dowd about this is that they're running something closer to an exploit bounty program, and it's pretty focused on patterns of vulnerabilities common to some pretty specific threat actors.

> However, developers hate email.

My perspective is every form of communication bears certain unspoken rules / implications.

* Email - This is a serious thought out discussion

* Slack / Similar in a shared channel - This is office-formal, you should be professional but can joke around. Similar to how you would talk to an equal or your manager in person

* Slack / similar in DM - This is a rapid "Quick question" forum where you just need some links or quick thoughts. Nothing here is very serious

* Phone call - This is informal, rapid discussion for time sensitive issues. I'm calling you so that I don't have to page you.

What are you doing where you see anything remotely close to double-digit-% gains from disabling spectre mitigations?
Hey HN,
My name is David and I'm a family doctor. I made an app where you can message doctors with health related questions.

I made this after having to wait for a doctor myself for over an hour for a simple question. Plumfin lets you send your question to a licensed doctor and get a notification when they reply. This saves you an hour of waiting every time you want to ask a doctor a question.

I haven't gotten Plumfin HIPAA/PIPDEA certified yet, so for now it's only for general health information rather than personalized medical advice. Meaning you shouldn't include personally identifying information.

How it works:
It uses a llama 3.2 model fine tuned on medical Q&A with RAG on a medical database. It displays this information on an internal doctor-facing dashboard, where doctors (ie. me) can select between 4 LLM written responses and edit them before sending them back. It also sends a notification to their phone to alert them of a new message. When a doctor sends a reply, you get alerted through your email of the new message.

Let me know what you think. I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have.
>Many critical details regarding this scaling process were only disclosed with the recent release of DeepSeek V3

And so they decide to not disclose their own training information just after they told everyone how useful it was to get Deepseeks? Honestly can't say I care about "nearly as good as o1" when its a closed API with no additional info.
The problem is it's very expensive. More expensive than Claude.

A civil aircraft is an aircraft which is not military. Idiotic.
Even the fastest spacecraft ever made (the parker solar probe) "only" went at 692000kph. So 1,000,000,000,000/692,000 = 1,445,086 hours, or 164 years.
The "civil" here is as in "civil aviation". Aviation is broadly either civil or state aviation.

Presumably it's derived from "civilian".

I have a set of tests that I can run against different models implemented in different languages (e.g. the same tests in Rust, Ts, Python, Swift), and out of these languages, all models have by far the most difficulty with Rust. The scores are notably higher for the same tests in other languages. I'm currently preparing the whole thing for release to share, but its not ready yet because some urgent work-work came up.
A lot of those are distant memories of old designs. Head gaskets have been a non-issue for a decade or more now and timing chains replaced belts a similarly long time ago.

Many of those issues were relevant to the EJ series of engines, which were used in various forms on almost every Subaru model for a very long time, but today pretty much every car uses the FB or FA series of engines.
Today it is. Tomorrow everyone will look at it like Wish or Temu.

For most, yes. Startups fail because they run out of money, not because the code runs slower. You need a mix of technology that lets you iterate fast, and cheap. Of course, I feel like there's a number of options that fit into that same bucket, and I'd consider Django among those.
