Good riddance. It is almost like the decision to build a "standalone KMP IDE" came from some Reddit thread with 5 upvotes. Android ecosystem is built around Android Studio, in what world millions of devs would suddenly switch from free (subsidized) Android Studio to a paid Fleet developed by a third party (third first third party?) is beyond me.
Similar computational demand for useful results, too. The specific uses of linear algebra are a bit different: QM chemistry is about eigenvalue-solvers for large matrices repesenting the system Hamiltonian, HY = EY, which doesn't come into play in LLMs, where the linear algebra seem mostly used in chain-rule differentiation in matrix form.

There are similarities in some areas, eg gradient descent compared to self-consistent field (SCF) iterations in computational QM:

In Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham DFT:

Guess a wavefunction (or density),

Construct a Fock (or Kohn-Sham) matrix,

Solve the eigenvalue problem for that matrix,

Update the density,

Repeat until convergence to a physically meaningful value for comparison to experimental observations.

In neural network training:

Guess initial parameters,

Compute a forward pass to get predictions,

Evaluate a loss that measures prediction error,

Backprop to find the max gradient of the loss function wrt parameters,

Update parameter values via a small step in the opposite direction,

Repeat until the model converges to a good-enough solution that pleases the human user.

Neither has much to do with the original article, though.

At least that's what Meta tells advertisers and shareholders.

Zuck has a long history of fudging the numbers.
Nobody ever got a promotion, or hired, by using boring tech.

I have a feeling that I don't get many replies to job applications because the vast majority of work I've done is "boring", and the majority of open source code I've written is shell scripts. It all works fantastic, and has zero bugs and maintenance cost, but it's not sexy. Intellectual elitism has also defined my role ("DevOps Engineer" is literally just a "Sysadmin in the cloud", but we can't say that because we're supposed to be embarrassed to administrate systems); I'm fairly confident if my resume was more "Go and Rust" than "Python and Shell", I'd get hired in a heartbeat.
I had this idea , a long time ago , my thinking was that e inks don't actually require energy to store data , so effectively we could use e inks for advertisement and only change them when needed , effectively being the best of both worlds ie. less energy cost / carbon emissions and more cost effective / removing the labour aspect of removing / putting up bill boards

Advertisements are a fundamental part for a company. Depending on the type of company , it would still make sense for bill boards to be put out.

Hot take , but advertising onlines are a threat to security unlike bill boards , most online ads actively try to promote malware simply because of how easy it is to create an ad (google ads , more like yeh you can promote your spyware for homebrew by paying us a buck or two from the money you scam by your infoware)

I also don't like ads , simply because they don't understand me. But some do , there are many ads from my country that I & many others do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVvmLakUtXE

see this , an ad for bike in indian economy

Try to guess the number of views , seriously , I am talking to anybody reading this , to genuinely try to guess the number of views for a video whose length is exactly 1 minute.

Its 8.3 Million

Some people compare it to be a better song than many cinema movies songs for which you go to and pay with your cash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvGwIFVUK7M

This ad is by Jindal , I got this in my recommended , yes a ad as a video shoved in my recommended.

Some commentors comment how they saw this ad in their movie cinema before the start of movie. And they said , that they felt that the movie they spent on the cinema was already worth it because of this ad alone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvGwIFVUK7M

This has 20 Million Views !

I am sure that many american / other countries also have such advertising. But I don't like apple like advertising / bland .

Maybe its just me , but I like the old style so much more. Filled with emotions and art , yet it doesn't cross a line of being over. It just fits in perfectly.

I am 16 years old and though I don't use twitter , though I don't use facebook / I was never in the time for my space.

I still feel nostalgic for that era. I like how old twitter looks.
I like how myspace functioned. In fact I created an account on spacehey just for that.

I like the old style liked videos , square box , it makes me feel as part of something greater , a bit nostalgic.

Also just remembered hamara bajaj ad which is also really nice.

from the hero splendor ad that I linked in first link

Tu hai toh main hu aur manjilo ka ghar aana
chalta rahe

A very rough english translation would be

You are therefore I am , and let the dreams come to our house.
Lets keep going.

It captures emotions perfectly.

Assuming that $14 billion figure is accurate (and it may not be!), it looks to me like this group of 1700 people costing the taxpayer about $200k each saved the taxpayer about $8.2 million per year for each employee, or an ROI of 4000%.

> It's incredibly far away from doing any significant change in a mature codebase

A lot of the use cases are on building something that has already been built before, like a web app, a popular algorithm, and etc. I think the real threat to us programmers is stagnation. If we don't have new use cases to develop but only introduce marginal changes, then we can surely use AI to generate our code from the vast amount of previous work.
> Of course both these assumptions are wrong, the quality of code produced by AI will improve dramatically as model evolves.

This is the fundamental delusion that is driving AI hype.

Although scale has made LLMs look like magic, actual magic (AGI) is not on the scaling path. This is a conjecture (as is the converse), but I'm betting the farm on it personally and see LLMs as useful chat bots that augment other, better technologies for automation. If you want to pursue AGI, move on quickly to something structurally and fundamentally better.

People don't understand that AGI is pure speculation. There is no rigorous, non-circular definition of human intelligence, let alone proof that AGI is possible or achievable in any reasonable time frame (like 100 years).
I am a little skeptical of this application of e-ink. Is this really cost effective or environmentally friendly?

There's also a lot of rumblings of massive layoffs coming at UNH, with senior leadership setting goals to be 50% offshore across the board.
> I'm confident the LLMs that exist today can't replace developers, and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't "augment" developers so fewer developers + LLMs don't maintain the same productivity. But perhaps many programmers are being fired because many programmers just aren't necessary, and AI is just a placebo.

The last part is the important part.

There's loads of jobs that don't "need" to exist in software gigs at many companies generally, ranging from lowly maintenance type CRUD jobs to highly complex work that has no path to profitability, but was financially justifiable a few years prior in a different financial environment.

Examples: IIRC, Amazon had some game engine thing that had employed a bunch of graphics programmers (Lumberyard maybe?) that they scrapped (probably for cost reasons), Alexa has been a public loss leader and has had loads of layoffs. Google had their game streaming service that got shelved and other stuff I can't recall that they've surely abandoned in recent years, etc.

Those roles were certainly highly skilled, but mgmt saw no path to profit or whatever, so they're gone.

There's also the opposite in some cases. Many f500s are pissing away money to get some "AI" "Enabled" thing for their whatever and throwing money at companies like Accenture et al to get them some RAG chatbot thing.

There's certainly a brief period where those opportunities will increase as every CTO wants to "modernize" and "leverage AI", although I can't imagine it lasting.
Howard Hughes was one of the biggest business successes of the 20th century, on par with, if not exceeding, the business acumen of the zucc. Fantastically rich, hugely successful, driven, talented, all that crap.

Anyway he also acquired RKO Pictures and led it to its demise 9 years later. In aviation he had many successes, he also had the spruce goose. He bought in to TWA then got forced out of its management.

He died as a recluse, suffering from OCD and drug abuse, immortalized in a Simpsons episode with Mr. Burns portraying him.

People can have business acumen, and sometimes it doesn't work out. Past successes doesn't guarantee future ones. Maybe the metaverse will eventually pay off and we'll all eat crow, or maybe (and this is the one I'm a believer of) it'll be a huge failure, an insane waste of money, and one of the spruce geese of his legacy.

The truth is of course more nuanced but that doesn't make good sound bites.

Was it to deter farmers and poppy production? The answer lies in the word "deter" in the quote I copied. Deter means slow/stop. The USAID OIG report I quote below also says the same thing. "The purpose of the program is to counteract...".

"was it doing what was intended - developing agriculture"? This is where the reader needs context and Breitbart provided none of that. The Taliban were removed from power in Afghanistan in 2002. It wasn't until 2020, the US withdrew all troops. The period of "corruption" mentioned was in the early 2000s. To address your question, I refer to the IG report https://oig.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/2018-06/5-306-10-0.... If you read the quote below, it was intended to do both. The IG report actually blasted the execution of the plan, and it said it was half-assed. I would argue the whole US adventure in Afghanistan and Iraq was half-assed, ad hoc, and hurt US prestige. Not to mention the deaths and tragedies inflicted on all sides. Trump is right in that Afghanistan is a shameful episode in US history. Was USAID's intention to stop opium production? The answer is yes.

OIG report on page 7, "Summary. The purpose of the program is to counteract illicit poppy cultivation by providing alternative livelihood programs, improved economic opportunities, and diverse regional economic growth in selected provinces. Furthermore, a key pillar of the U.S. Government’s counterinsurgency strategy involves economic development of areas secured by the U.S. military. Although gains have been made in some targeted southern and western provinces to reduce poppy cultivation, these gains may not be sustainable because (1) no follow-on alternative development activity has been approved beyond March 2011; (2) a critical southern province is not included in the current program; (3) access to markets for cereal crops (such as wheat) is not guaranteed, nor is stability of commodity prices; (4) success of programs outside the mission’s control may affect poppy cultivation and harvest; and (5) the availability of water is uncertain. The impact of not having a follow-on program can be measured in terms of (1) loss of program investment in long-term projects totaling $7 million, (2) loss of economic gains for Afghans including jobs, (3) potential increase in poppy cultivation, and (4) a negative effect on the U.S. Government’s counterinsurgency policy."

Likewise, under no circumstances would I trade C for LLM-aided assembly programming. That sounds hellish. Of course it could (probably will?) be the case that this may change at some point. Innovations in higher-level languages aren't returning productivity improvements at anywhere close to the same rate as LLMs are, and in any case LLMs probably benefit from improvements to higher-level languages as well.
> there are basically no migration stories

Irish have migration myths.

So do Greeks (probably a bit more localized intra-Balkan movement, though).

To be fair IE migrations were very long ago. It’s not inconceivable that oral myths might have been preserved for several thousand years and yet we might know nothing about them.

> wouldn't have been particularly noticeable in any one life time

Probably not true. At least genetic evidence points otherwise. IIRC we’ve found individuals as far as Britain who were closely related (a couple of generations) with remains found in the steppes. At least some elite groups were very closely related paternally and moved very fast across Europe.
ProStack – A Next.js Boilerplate to Skip the Repetitive Setup
Hey HN,

I'm Troy, a solopreneur who love shipping apps.

I found myself repeatedly handling the same tedious tasks like setting up authentication, organizations flow, subscriptions, and managing lemonsqueezy webhooks. To save time and avoid common headaches like account settings, security, sessions, team invitation, etc and ai integration, I built ProStack.

ProStack is a complete Next.js 15 boilerplate designed to let you launch your SaaS quickly and efficiently. It comes pre-configured with everything you need, including robust authentication and security features, AI chat integration with support for OpenAI and Claude APIs, and a built-in email management system using Resend. It also handles team management, subscription billing, and account settings, all built on a modern tech stack featuring Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and TypeScript.

With ProStack, you can focus on building your business rather than getting bogged down in repetitive setup tasks. I hope this boilerplate makes your development process as smooth and efficient as mine. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Secondary risks are those enforced by regulators: KYC, AML, BSA. The government does not want your bank handling money for sanctioned individuals, countries, or terrorists. How do you encode in a smart contract that the counterparty does not represent one of these categories?

I thought contributions-relicensing has to do with a CLA, or lack thereof, and not the project license per se. Happy to learn I’m wrong on that point, which sections of A/GPL cover that?

EDIT: having thought about it again, I realized that I was bringing strong assumptions about a CLA being in effect, regardless of the specific license. So, without a CLA in consideration, relicensing is more viable (or more of a danger depending on your specific concerns) with MIT. If a CLA is in play then MIT and A/GPL are likely on equal footing, depending on the jurisdiction.
