Elevate Your Documentation: A Review of React Docs
Of course, I’d be happy to! That would be something in contrast to all the fortunate, welcomed, gleeful, and celebrated deaths we hear about frequently in Western news and experience in our own personal lives.

Instances where people are not ready to go, sorrowful, regretful, spiteful, guilty, etc.
It's great that such communities exist, but I personally prefer Discord
The sky is indeed falling. You not wanting to look up doesn't change that.
You're saying U6 unemployment + poverty is greater than U6 unemployment which is greater than U3 unemployment.

X + Y is generally higher than just X, yes.
Technically, we automated most programing when we got rid of punch cards and created assembly languages.
You already know the answer. This isn’t for you.
Search Amazon for "240W USB" and you get multiple pages of results for cables.

A few years ago there was a recall of OnePlus cables that were melting and catching fire, I had 2 of them and both melted.

But yes 240W/48V/5A is insane for a spec that was originally designed for 0.5W/5V/100mA. I suspect this is the limit for USB charging as anything over 48V is considered a shock hazard by UL and 5A is already at the very top of the 3-5A limit of 20AWG for fire safety.
As long as someone give me the software software to run my business, that person might be in violation of copyright but I'm in the clear.

Simply running my business on illegally distributed copyrighted text/software/movie should not be copyright infringement.
I once walked into a hospital that had a prop 65 warning on the door.

You listed paywalls as a problem but then paywalled the list of communities yourself
I've found one good solution to this problem (for AC, at least): go for a car with a good "auto" mode!

I hardly ever touch my AC, I just leave it on auto and the car does the rest to get it to the right temperature as quickly as possible.

I suspect this is what most automakers think the real solution should be, just make it easy enough to set a temp and leave the rest to the computer.
You need to be able to do both.

Only reading the existing literature is not good enough.

The capacity to create ideas is also something that needs to be practiced.
A sudden or unexpected departure, under some circumstances that highlight the grief of passing, such as in a car accident on the way home from a wedding, or having just given birth, or some such circumstances.

I think I can imagine there being ‘non-sad’ deaths, though - such as in the case of dying close to 100 years old, surrounded by ones loved ones, family, friends, with time to say goodbye. So, basically any circumstance which does not allow for the ideal departure, could be classed as a ‘sad death’ ..
That's like saying cars are crap because it's not as powerful as a truck. Both are completely different classes of vehicles optimizing for different use cases. So are lossy vs lossless codecs, you can't just say one is superior to the other without specifying the use case.

For instance, I've got a navidrome instance with all my music library accessible from anywhere in the world trough my phone. However there are situations where I may not have internet any connection, so I use the app on the phone (Tempo) to mark the songs I want to be downloaded and available even when offline, but my phone storage wouldn't hold even a quarter of my playlists if I went with the original encode of the songs (mostly lossless flacs), so I instead set it to download a transcoded Opus 128kbps version of it all and it fits on my phone with room to spare. It sound pretty damn good trough my admittedly average IEMs and I get the benefit of offline playback. Even if you somehow had the absolute best playback system connected to my phone you might be able to tell the difference, but it beats not having to rely on internet connectivity.
The GPU and PSU would have female ports and the cable would be male.

12V isn't dangerous to humans, but it could spark quite a bit if it hit the computer chassis.
“No” basically. Unless it can be poly filled into safari (ios) it is not worth adopting just yet.
Yes, it is quite surprising the way things turned out with scripting languages, and people used to large C and C++ codebases, that folks lost track of how it used to be.

By the way Delphi, FreePascal, D are just as fast still.
That's inconsistent messaging from Corsair, then. Parent comment quotes the times they're like "ehh, they're same thing, don't worry about it" and then they go on to say "well TECHNICALLY there's a teeensy difference in conductor sizes"???

Either they are confident that the 0.25mm terminal difference is within tolerance enough that they consider 12VHPWR to be functionally equivalent to 12V-2x6, or they're getting themselves confused let alone the target audience of their article.
Articulated Robotics: building a ROS2 mobile robot
Hi HN!

I just discovered Josh Newans' projects and tutorials about mobile robotics on ROS2.

I find them particularly clear and straightforward, and I think some HN people here might find them interesting as well.

It can be great for beginners to explore the project, but as a robotics engineer myself, I also find some specific topics really useful and well explained. The ROS2 documentation is not always as clear as it could be.

Hope you enjoy!

Remember that a journalist is someone who sells your attention to advertisers, not someone who sells you an accurate picture of world events. It's far better for them to be wrong about something chaotic and unverifiable like the cause of a short term unemployment spike than to admit that they don't know. Sometimes it's better for them not to know the cause of something when it's mundane and they can bait you with the mystery, like the NJ drones that we all obsessed over for a month that turned out to be part of an R&D agreement that was a matter of public record and could have shot the whole story down on day one if it had been reported.
What do you mean by cute?
I wish people would just write down their arguments instead of making a 53 minute video of it. I don't have time to watch all that :(
I'm writing this on my phone and for whatever reason can't find the passages that you're quoting. Are they in the same article that I linked?

In any case, to my knowledge the law in question doesn't apply to us. If the Swedish government tried to argue otherwise we'd get our lawyers involved.

Having said all of this, I am concerned about National Security Letters and similar concepts. Technologies like reproducible builds, transparency logs, and remote attestation can help there.
It's a big problem in old airplanes too. I've known a few pilots who found out their nav lights (on the wingtips) weren't working anymore because a mouse got inside the wing.
> Also there's zero devices out there that actually deliver or take 240W over USB-C. Texas Instruments literally only released the datasheets for a pivotal supporting IC within the last 6 months.

The 16-inch Framework laptop can take 240W power. For chargers, the Delta Electronics ADP-240KB is an option. Some Framework users have already tried the combination.
> many junior developers love mode switches

Today we call them “feature flags”. Definitely an anti-pattern.
I don't know why you're hearing a difference I'm just pointing out that there are many reasons why you could be hearing a difference that are not a specific effect of the codec itself.

You're right I shouldn't be making crappy posts and will try better in the future.
Yet another reason to buy old cars. When I went for my annual inspection this year my mechanic was telling me about a 2021 pickup truck he had to do like $10k worth of rewiring on because of rodent damage. Apparently newer cars have delicious and nutritious soy based wire insulation.
Un-rounded, county-wide, it was a ~1.5% drop in votes for the Dem presidential candidate (from 2020 to 2024).

Along with that, the voter turn-out dropped by ~2.2%, in a heavily Democratic County.

Nationally, the Dem's went from Biden's 2020 51.3% of the popular vote, to Harris' 2024 48.3%. Darn close to what you'd get by extrapolating the county numbers.

(I agree with your comments on A2's local issues - but from coverage of the RealPage scandal, NIMBY-ism elsewhere, etc., I suspect we're not too unusual that way. And rather large quantities of high-rise rental housing have been going up around campus and downtown A2 in the past decade.)
Yep. It has the same rhyme of the worst case being 'wishes made by fools' too where they don't realize that they themselves don't truly know what to ask for, so getting exactly what they asked for ruins them.
I used to think these were interesting and used them to inform my next HDD purchase. I realized I only used them to pick a recently reliable brand, we're down to three, and the stats are mostly old models, so the main use is if you're buying a used drive from the same batch that Backblaze happens to have also used.

Buy two from different vendors and RAID or do regular off-site backups.
Misinformation? There are multiple videos of Elon doing a Nazi salute.

The goalpost does not need to be moved to "if he's not literally operating a gas chamber, he's fine".

The best interpretation is that he doesn't care how it looks to others when he does a Nazi salute. Like others said, he's more 90s edgelord than actual jew-hating Nazi.

And the car markets in Europe are showing him what they think of people who do Nazi salutes publicly.

From p. 6:

"But a headnote
can introduce creativity by distilling, synthesizing, or explaining part of an opinion,
and thus be copyrightable."

Does this set a precedent, whereby AI-generated summaries are copyrightable by the LLM owners?
Sure, and those chickens exist because we like their meat and eggs. But there's also plenty of life that is simply inconsequential to us.
I used WineASIO way back on Ubuntu 14. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/.

Checkmate ;) j/k

You're right, it's not natively on Linux, and you wouldn't use it on Linux today since the kernel supports lower latency IO and has better scheduling. Jack has gotten so much better. We didn't have that at the time and I was desperate to use the only interface card I had.

That said, there are plenty of open source implementations of ASIO drivers now that aren't hardware tied.
Thanks for numbers! People should include their LLM runner as well I think, as there are differences in hardware optimization support. Like I haven't tested it but I've heard MLX is noticeably faster than Ollama on Macs.
As the x86 ISA teaches us, mistakes are forever.
See. The fair-use excuses that the AI proponents here were trying to hang on to for dear life have fallen flat on this ruling.

This is going to be one of many cases in which there will be licensing deals being made out of this to stop AI grifters claiming 'fair use' to try to side-step copyright laws because they are using a gen AI system.

OpenAI ended up paying up for the data with Shutterstock and other news sources. This will be no different.
It is nonsense, but it does happen, and its enabled through the decoupling action of business decisions provided for by debt financing.

Reality is reality, and in the end you are right, but by that time it won't matter; the damage will have already been done. This is the nature of cascading failures, and delusion, and there are far more delusional people today in positions of power than ever before.

Edit: On a separate thing. As an FYI in case you didn't know, but it looks like your blog is now directing to a bad link on google, or they were hosting it and took your blog down.
I switched to an iPhone for the first time in 2022 with the 14 Pro. I got it on the release day and immediately there was a glaring visual bug when running a timer on their “Dynamic Island” (a huge flop). Ever since then I’ve encountered so many bugs that I can’t believe that this is the famed Apple. It’s the buggiest phone I’ve ever owned. Even now there is a bug on timers when the screen freezes and I can’t scroll through the timers, or start a new one. Constant bugs on their default apps that are SIMPLISTIC (or should be). How is there a bug on timers when it’s existed for 15 years? It also deleted all my of my locally saved notes when I bought a Mac and signed into iCloud. Completely unacceptable.

The mail app is so bad that even their anti-competitive design policies can’t salvage it (reading an email on one device will show the email as unread until the app is opened). It’s just embarrassing for the so-called “premium” company.

Wild Animals Emerge from Layers of Cardboard in Scott Fife's Sculptures (2022)
We don't even need to be all that close to death for this, just suffer sufficient brain damage. I have a family member that had enough mini strokes that, whenever they have something like an urinary infection, they disassociate from reality and start talking to dead people, and they understand reality as if they were children. It's how we detect infections, as the hallucinations come in pretty early. A course of antibiotics, and they are their normal elderly selves, remembering little of the previous week
But the point of an endowment is to have a relatively stable funding stream in perpetuity - if you start dipping into the principal, the funding stream starts shrinking and is no longer perpetual.

Harvard’s endowment, for example, already funds a little less than 40% of its budget, and should be able to continue doing so indefinitely. If you bump that to even, say, 50% there’s a good chance it won’t have any endowment (or funding stream!) at all in the year 2100.
It's not an engineering problem, it's a political problem. If you present this problem to any power engineer at Nvidia, they'd probably say something akin to "yeah, delivering 600W at 12V over a 12-prong connector is insane, up the voltage". The issue is that 12V has been the standard voltage for ages, and if you want to sell a product that requires a higher voltage, you first need to get the industry to produce PSUs that deliver a higher voltage.
Presumably the font will represent letters to look like a different letter, making it not useful to LLMs scraping the site but useful for visual readers.

This would have detrimental effects to people who use screen readers or have their own stylesheets of course.
There's also the issue of a company doesn't own the copyright to a codebase generated primarily through prompts.

So anyone can copy it and reproduce it anywhere. Get paid to prompt ai by a company. Take all code home with you. Then when your tired of them use same code to undercut them.
I’m not sure about that, I think the current setup is an artifact of human limits, which an immortal shared ML model doesn’t share. Also, cross-disciplinary knowledge is frequently incredibly helpful (if rare, because currently it’s the intersection of multiple uncommon specialties).
The Price of Intelligence: Three Risks Inherent in LLMs
I believe Apple also gives/pays TSMC for the capital needed to even do the R&D to shrink the nodes in the first place.
I've tried; I've done what everyone has done and sent applications to OpenAI; they don't call me back. I don't really want to work for an AI startup.
You asked a yes or no question. Not sure what you were expecting.
From prototype to internal product that kind of works with quirks, until product that can handle all use-cases supported by Nvidia, and finally product that costs less, consumes less and has better performance than Nvidia is a loong way.
I'm only saying what I've seen here. I typically see praise for Rust's checked errors. Especially since they provide ? to panic and uncheck them. Personally I disagree with Bloch, if you are the thrower you can't possibly know if the caller can or cannot recover from your error so in my opinion its best to check it. If you are not the thrower and you can't recover from it I prefer to uncheck them, because if I can't recover my caller most likely can't either.

The issue really just arises with Java not giving you the capability to uncheck that error easily if you can't recover from it. For example, you need a ton of lines to uncheck:

A doIt() throws B {
throw new B();
}

void usingIt() {
A a;
try {
a = doIt();
} catch (B b) {
throw new RuntimeException(b);
}

a.woohoo();
}

My ideal situation would be for some sort of throws unchecked operator (or whatever syntax we want to bikeshed over) that turns them into unchecked exceptions.

void usingIt() throws unchecked B {
var a = doIt();
a.woohoo();
}
That’s exactly how I do it.
My 1997 Lexus has a knob that controls the digital climate control. Except that instead of a spinny position encoder, they used a knob with stops so you have tactile feedback for when the temperature is all the way up or down.

This is the kind of detail that I love about a well engineered car.
I think people are just tired of arguing with people who think you need, say, an entire cluster orchestration system, and a renderer inside your renderer just to serve up some web pages. It's a lot easier to just tell people to use "boring technology". The ones who get it, get it.
This is also problematic in cases where navigation apps are not updated and drivers start taking routes they are no longer authorized to take.
Because one of the core principles of post-WWII peace is that national borders generally stay where they were at the end of the war.

The US is now talking about annexing Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal.
Then get a modern GPU and limit the power to what your 1080 draws. It will still be significantly faster. GPU power is out of control these days, if you knock 10% off the power budget you generally only lose a few percentage of performance.

Cutting the 5090 down from 575w to 400w is a 10% perf decrease.
I dont know what even going through his mind, but I very much doubt it was Hitler.

It's called passing inspections. Which you should know if you had actually built your own house.
No. The collapse is not as simple as simply shifting down most of the logits, so ramping up the temperature does little until outputs start degenerating.
I'm sorry, nothing is mature or stable about a language whose package manager is GitHub.
What is the point of using an LLM to pad out something that could be shorter? People would rather read less. The proper uses of an LLM, it seems to me, are to proofread and critique.
No, it really isn't at all comparable like that (and other discussion in the thread makes it clear why). Users of high-level languages clearly still do write code in those languages, that comes out of their own thought rather than e.g. the GoF patterns book. They don't just complain about compilers; they actually do debug the high-level code, based on the compiler's error messages (or, more commonly, runtime results). When people get their code from LLMs, however, you can see very often that they have no idea how to proceed when the code is wrong.

Debugging is a skill anyone can learn, which applies broadly. But some people just don't. People who want correct code to be written for them are fundamentally asking something different than people who want writing correct code to be easier.

Add to this, the brain is constantly processing raw sensory data from the moment it became viable, even when the body is "sleeping". It's using orders of magnitude more data than any model in existence every moment, but isn't generally deemed "intelligent" enough until it's around 18 years old.
Could be several things, ranging from mundane to very concerning.

- People are downgrading their computers.

- Windows 11 is more bloated and slower, decreasing the test scores.

- All the security mitigations are making everything slower but they've been masked by hardware improvements in the past. Now there isn't much in terms of that so we start the slow descent to death.
Hey, good catch. I edited my comment to be clearer.
> When GODEBUG=fips140=only is used, in addition to the above, cryptographic algorithms that are not FIPS 140-3 compliant will return an error or panic.

Not sure I love the idea of stdlib panicking on purpose here. I haven't looked at the code, but I wonder if it's just in functions that don't currently return an error for backwards compat...

I suppose that's technically non-fiction.

Nothing more depressing than hearing the book tastes of non-bookish but "educated" people. Like it's really really sad and makes you wonder about the future of humanity, and really what do these people do with their time.
Maybe "Top-notch, frictionless UX", because UX can be good or bad. But Butter, as describe in the article, is one specific kind.
Not true at all.

AlphaFold 2. It's not an LLM but it's not that different technologically. EDIT: that last sentence is actually a bit unfair to AlphaFold 2 as I consider it to be much more impressive technology than LLMs, but it comes from a common lineage.
"Duolingo is Butter for Learning" because it prioritizes gamification and engagement over actual learning outcomes. Being joyful to use doesn't equate to effectiveness.
