C has been extended in *exactly* that way using the `__((attribute))__` mechanism in GCC and clang. One does not need to wait for a standards body to do this.

This is one of the ways in which the static analyzer in clang works and they’re very open to further such extensions, which can be easily wrapped in macros so as to not affect compilers that don’t support them.

Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It’s absolutely a realistic option, and it’s one that should be pursued if kernel code quality checking via static analysis is important.

I'd challenge if this is specific to coding? If you want to get a result that is largely like a repertoire of examples used in a training set, chat is probably workable? This is true for music. Visual art. Buildings. Anything, really?

But, if you want to start doing "domain specific" edits to the artifacts that are made, you are almost certainly going to want something like the app builders idea. Down thread, I mention how this is a lot like procedural generative techniques for game levels and such. Such that I think I am in agreement with your first bullet?

Similarly, if you want to make music with an instrument, it will be hard to ignore playing with said instrument more directly. I suspect some people can create things using chat as an interface. I just also suspect directly touching the artifacts at play is going to be more powerful.

I think I agree with the point on formal requirements. Not sure how that really applies to chat as an interface? I think it is hoping for a "laws of robotics" style that can have a test to confirm them? Reality could surprise me, but I always viewed that as largely a fiction item.
Ah, I see. You ignore my question and answer as if I had asked a different one more to your liking.

Swift? i don't think we should be looking to entertainers for political leadership, that's just following in the footsteps of how we got Trump.
Nevertheless, it should be pursued because it also benefits the C code when combined with static analysis.
Well, these records are special because of an act. Just because a President proactively blocked release does not promote them to a classification. But Mark Zaid on that podcast is a lawyer who specializes in people’s classification. There are many, many more people less qualified than him who are trying to sound important in this domain, like Roger Stone.
Spotify is ardently anti-consumer and anti-artist. Their business model extracts revenue by siphoning off artist royalties through label rev-share and then compounds the issue by restricting royalty payouts. Further siphoning off revenue by loading the playlist with AI-trash is not even their worst offense. They're a company begging for an artist boycott.
The question is was their level of support already maxed out without the threat of tariffs? Previous agreements were already pretty substantial. (And fly in the face of a conspiracy of an "open border" where both sides are just looking the other way)

Not that that is sufficient for allowing legal access to all data in every case. But see the next part.

There’s no evidence that the wild claims about improper access to data are justified. Claims from people who have proven to be the opposite of truthful. For instance to shut down payments temporarily you don’t need to access data; you just need a cable snipper to cut the right wires. Reference the Twitter Sacramento data center solution implemented after the Twitter purchase. Or it can be done any number of other ways with changing passwords, etc.

Suppose twenty million hens die of a disease, and you order another eighty million slaughtered. That's going to lead to fewer eggs being laid, obviously, and a nonzero price increase. Now there are two questions, ① how many more eggs were laid than needed before this happened and ② if you want to look at the reason for the increase, how much of the increase is due to those 20 and how much is due to those other 80?

The gentle reader has ample scope to let the answers be influenced by political goals.
> while prodding it the last 20% of the way.

hint: you don't get paid to get the LLM to output perfect code, you get paid by PRs submitted and landed. Generate the first 80% or whatever with the LLM, and then finish the last 20% that you can write faster than the LLM yourself, by hand.

I'm not sure selective is the right word, there were just far fewer choices. A typical record store would have O(thousands) of different titles, whereas spotify has over 100 million. Obviously much of that is trash, but it's still a huge difference.

It's also worth noting that a big contributor to the 90s spike was people replacing tapes/records with CDs, which were a far superior medium for most usage. The decline after 2000 was not streaming, since that didn't exist, but the wind-down of the upgrade cycle and the rise of file sharing and 0.99 digital track purchases in lieu of $15-20 album purchases.

Seemingly, the major failure there was having the one part (decriminalization) without the other - crucial - part (treatment and support).

The support and treatment structures have remained essentially unchanged since Measure 110 passed, with holdups to funding and logistics at almost every level of the state's government. Oregon was already ranked almost dead last in addiction treatment, and that hasn't budged. I can't see how it would work without this other critical piece.

Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) has some good coverage about this failure from the first couple years (which was never really rectified): https://www.opb.org/article/2022/05/24/oregons-measure-110-i...

Also worth noting is that research has found no association with with Measure 110 and crime, and crime has been steadily falling since the measure was passed. (along with most other metro areas in the USA) https://www.opb.org/article/2024/01/24/portland-crime-violen...

I really don't get why people are so happy about Slack (never used Discord). The interface is awful, it barely functions as a chat client, yet people adds bots, automation and use it as a repository for documentation. Honestly it would be better if history was deleted weekly or something, just to prevent people from storing things in Slack.
Last I looked at this (in a different context, a few years ago,) I read that most heart disease deaths are essentially natural deaths. Someone has to die from something and heart disease is one of those things. (Eating worse could perhaps be making people die earlier by one or two years on average.)

Some data (not exactly the same I found last time, but seems to still be accurate as I recalled it):

>About 82% of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 or older[0]

See also the CDC's list of deaths by cause by age group:

For 65 years and over, Diseases of heart is ranked 1st (531,583 deaths in 2019). For 45–64 years, it is 1st in 1980 and second in 2019 (111,975). For 25–44 years it is 4th (13,994) and 15–24 years it is 5th (1,223 and 872 total deaths for 1980 and 2019 respectively).[1]

I'm also pretty sure many (most?) drug overdoses manifest as cardiac arrest and are probably included in "Diseases of the heart:"

>Drug overdose is a leading cause of cardiac arrest and is currently the second leading cause of overall injury-related fatality in the United States.[2]

Do any of them actually flesh out "app ideas" with AI?

I have the same type of friends and they would often ask me for help. But when you ask for even the minimal amount of work, they often just give up.

For instance, have an idea for an app? Draw out the screens. You can use a pen and paper. Where does this button take you?

AI can help with that sure, but its still a lot of work to go over and iterate with AI
The US has been competing on Quality and Safety. I assure you anyone working at the US factory is happy they are no longer at risk of nicknames like "lefty" or "stubby" - referring to the missing limbs that used to be common in some positions.

AI seems like a scapegoat here when I think the real answer is simply that it was a tired genre that died out like many music fads over the years. (Everyone could learn how to make these with a 10 minute youtube tutorial which flooded the market, independent of AI.)
I think the super played out twitter adage has some merit to it: "it makes 10x devs 100x devs."

Those who already have a high level idea of what to do and roughly how to execute it benefit the most from LLMs at the moment. This is very good for purely "technical" devs in greenfield environments. Less useful for super large interconnected codebases, but tools are getting there.

It will not, however, make a bad dev a good one magically.
A bad software product is not usually bottlenecked by the software its running on, its bottlenecked by user experience and pmf. That still requires some skilled human input, but that could also change soon. Some people have better product intuition than others but couldn't execute on complex code, so LLMs do help here to an extent.

As of 2025, I think you still need to be a pretty decent dev even with LLM assistance.

Show HN: GadgetAI – Build browser apps and games with natural language
I'm working on this AI app generator that creates simple browser apps. This early stage version let's you generate an app and modify it in browser instantly. It works specially well with simple games. You can see the version history, go back and create new versions.

It also let's you share your apps created with a simple link.

I want to get some feedback and am curious to see what other people can create with it. I find it really fun to use, so please let me know what you think!
I've mainly used gptel in Emacs (primarily with Claude), and I kind of already use the chat buffer like a document. You can freely edit the history, and I make very generous use of that, to steer where the model is going.

It has features to add context from your current project pretty easily, but personally I prefer to constantly edit the chat buffer to put in just the relevant stuff. If I add too much, Claude seems to get confused and chases down irrelevant stuff.

Fully controlling the context like that seems pretty powerful compared to other approaches I've tried. I also fully control what goes into the project - for the most part I don't copy paste anything, but rather type a version of the suggestion out quickly.

If you're fast at typing and use an editor with powerful text wrangling capabilities, this is feasible. And to me, it seems relatively optimal.
Show HN: AirCodum: Mirror VS Code and code from your phone!
Hi HN!

A while back (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41749567), I had shared my hobby project AirCodum (formerly CodeAir) which lets you pair your phone with VS Code and do things like command over it from your phone, share files & images from your phone into your VS Code workspace and more! You could also request screenshots to know what’s happening on your screen, which is useful in monitoring long running tasks, when you are AFK.

As a next iteration to all that, I am introducing a new feature in the extension and app that lets you directly mirror your VS Code instance (actually your entire Desktop screen) on to your phone and do things such as:

- Have complete control over all aspects of VS Code

- Custom mobile keyboard that I am trying to optimize for mobile based coding (a really under-explored area IMO)

- Command easily over VS Code via support for nearly all the commands from the VS Code command palette via auto-complete suggestions (800+ commands are part of custom keyboard)

- Voice support so that you can also input things via voice (voice > typing on phones?)

- Mouse and keyboard control from your phone

What this essentially enables is a way to be able to code right from your phone! I have been finding it useful for monitoring things and for quick interventions on things happening on my PC such as failed builds or tests, and I can rerun those by re-running a few commands in the terminal, even when I am AFK! I have also been using it for building hobby projects while on the go.

I look forward to your thoughts and feedback if you get a chance to try it out. The extension is open source and there’s app support for both Android and iOS now!

I think “correspondence UX” can be bad UX but there’s nothing inherently wrong with chat UI.

I created the tetr app[1] which is basically “chat UI for everything”. I did that because I used to message myself notes and wanted to expand it to many more things. There’s not much back and forth, usually 1 input and instant output (no AI), still acting like a chat.

I think there’s a lot of intuitiveness with chat UI and it can be a flexible medium for sharing different information in a similar format, minimizing context switching. That’s my philosophy with tetr anyhow.

"Actual product stakeholders" in this space clearly don't actually have any magic sauce to spill. Everyone is building more or less the same chat-based workflows on the same set of 3rd-party LLMs.

We're 100% remote in that we don't have offices anywhere in the world, you can work from home etc.

However we're focusing our hiring on specific hubs including Colorado (we actually don't mind which city / town you live in within Colorado), and Brazil (with some emphasis on Florianopolis.

We have team mates all over the world, so we're not totally opposed to folks coming from wherever but it's not without its overhead: regulatory burden in needing to register and pay taxes in all of these jurisdictions, impacts on ability to get together for offsites in central locations etc.

So yes, we're fully remote but for these roles we have a strong bias for people in Colorado or Brazil.

The incoming signal is turned into 4000 bits per second then XORed with a large pseudorandom sequence.[1]. It's quite interesting what was possible given such limited hardware at the time.

I've seen multivibrators as frequency dividers in the repair work I've done. The clever thing here would be in the initialization, and synchronization at the receive end. I'd imagine that wheel has to be spun up to some fraction of 4000 rotations/second and uses photodiodes or perhaps just contact, to generate the starting pulses.
