I kind of wonder if the endgame for all of this is one-product-per-company.

The company comes into being to make widget x, and never cares / is able to make another product again.

I mean, that's kind of how it all happens anyway. The people who stick through things and make the thing go away anyway. the ip is then acquired.
You're directing yours towards tens of millions and they're pointing theirs towards a few thousands. Just because you direct your snark and disparagement to "the others" doesn't make your comment any more civil than theirs.
I don't know, the Renault Logan (and the B platform in general) was extremely good from the engineering standpoint. Cheap, reliable, easy to maintain, easy to fix. The technical competence in building gasoline cars was definitely there.

They missed the electric wave sure, but as with any innovations the more competent you are in the previous wave of technology the harder it is to switch to the new one. But it's a different kind of problem.
This is extremely useful. It's difficult to build runtime agnostic libraries specifically because of the lack of async synchronization primitives.

Do you have any performance metrics you could share?

You are correct in those examples, but I think it also opens up new avenues for creation.

I can design reasonably decent PCBs (up to 4 layers), I can hack together not-terrible code in a handful of languages from embedded-C (eg: ESP32 stuff) up to Windows or linux apps. But I absolutely suck at graphic design and basic layout. Many of my creative projects stall at the UI level, and rarely are they worth paying someone to help. I've been using genAI tools to help with design, layout, etc. things. I can also see the inverse, someone who may be good at design and can craft something that just oozes "use me", but perhaps they struggle with coding, genAI tools might allow them to use robust components, like ESP32's with attached touchscreens, to build things previously out of reach to them. This seems to me like something that can propel things forward, but potentially at the cost of a person whose previous job was mostly editing powerpoint slides on the corporate template.
> Which defaults to float64, which is IEEE precision, exactly what the article warns about……
I mean, seriously?

It has native support for arbitrary precision operations. RTFM.
I mean, it definitely isn’t the 90’s anymore, for sure.

But I don’t think that chart tells the whole story. First off, it only shows half of the last ten years. Things feel like they’ve been picking up a little bit, with Apple and AMD executing fairly well. Second, average is being dragged down a bit as thin-and-light laptops have become very popular. A lot of the chips in that chart could probably be run faster on a higher energy budget, right?
I made that a slowly panning and enlarging Mac OS screensaver from that site - 10 lines of source I’ve long since lost to load a web view. [edit to make sense]
I don’t know that GitHub per se would be a requirement, But when I think open source - I usually think about being able to browse the code in some type of repository, in a human readable format.

I like to browse a codebase in some way that I don’t have to download and unzip an unknown set of files.
Someone would write a wrapper that translates it to LSP protocol.
> AI means "everyone can code!"

In the same way as "Dreamweaver" (web IDE) means "everyone can make a webpage" maybe? Doesn't mean they can do it well at all. I made a ton of money in my early days as a web designer gettin' paid to fix up nasty messes of local business websites (cleaning up Dreamweaver tag-soup and such) in my area during those early years when half of everyone with a business "hired" their little teenage cousin "under the table" to build them a website for their business and ended up horribly regretting it.
Yes, it is very good. I have built full websites complete with database storage and automated email sending all without having to touch the code at all.
Maybe once download gets so fast people have a hard time figuring out what to do with it (2-10g+) they'll start finally increasing upload.
That is awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of unscrambling the ring to see what the galaxy behind looks like. Hopefully someday we will be able to use a solar gravitation lens to look at neighboring exoplanets:

It's just a means for the UK to fluff Trump in a way that doesn't annoy the Europeans (or anyone else) that much. Nothing about this is legally binding or could be called a "regulation".
Stable mature technology trumps glory.
> I can't help but feel like a lighter weight VM (versus electron) is what we actually want. Or at least what _I_ want, something like UXN but just a little more fully featured.

That's basically the JVM, isn't it?

It's interesting to think how some of the reasons it sucked for desktop apps (performance, native UI) are also true of Electron. Maybe our expectations are just lower now.

They are propped up by demand and the fact that most of the new GPUs are marginally better than previous ones.
JARs are archives, and archives have timestamps.

You can remove those with some extra work.
The ToS are a nightmare, as usual for these services.
There's also a lot of fast software written in Golang. GC has an undeserved bad reputation.

bought this a few years back to handle some cpanel imap <-> Gmail sync. Simply gets the job done. No nonsense tool that makes do without overhyped promo and flashy website, a rare breed these days. Highly recommended.
I guess I disagree with this sentiment "Beyond that, I think there is a lot of room for creativity."

My experience is that most folks creating visualizations don't need or want the capability to have freedom. They want guidelines to help them communicate well.
> Let's also not forget the cost of the things like the campfire fire.

That's, I assume, a reference to the 2018 Camp Fire.

> That's a huge bill that needs to be paid and that cost is ultimately going to come out of the kwh rates.

The Trust established to pay PG&E liabilities for the 2015 Butte, 2017 North Bay, and 2018 Camp Fires, which discharged PG&E's responsibility for them, receives no additional ratepayer funds after its initial funding and is in the wind-down process expecting a single final top-off payment to already approved claimants. So, no, its not a huge bill that will be paid out of future rates.
That is my plan as well --- there's an envelope in the safe which has my e-mail password which should allow taking over the accounts, and maintain access to my GOG.com game library, my Amazon Kindle books, and my Amazon Music --- curious if there will be any case law in-between now and then.
you can slap a hash on a binary distribution and it becomes "reproducible" in the same trivial sense as any source tarball. after that, the reproducibility of whatever "build process" takes place to extract archives and shuffle assets around is no more or less fraught than any other package (probably less considering how much compilers have historically had to be brought to heel, especially before reproducibility was fashionable enough for it to enter much into compiler authors' consideration!!)
The issue is not that they want their withholding to be correct for the taxes they owe. The issue is the company needs to follow the withholding rules, and probably for cashflow reasons or maybe for tricky equity law reasons, would like the former employee to provide the withholding, rather than a net share settlement or sell to cover.

This should count as a supplemental wage payment. The 22% rate for supplemental wages only applies if income is under $1M and the person was paid wages by the employer this year or last; details in publication 15 https://www.irs.gov/publications/p15#en_US_2025_publink10002...
Wait - there’s a lot of assumptions being made in this thread. Is everyone you’re referring to a former employee? Are you sure you had RSUs, proper, as opposed to options?

If you have options, this is entirely because of the different treatment between ISOs and NSOs.

Is it possible you thought you had RSUs but instead had options?
I've never found a playlist editor better than Winamp. Open a folder tree of all of my music and I could quickly enqueue an hour of exactly what I wanted to hear and if that changed, swap in a few tracks, or an entire album or act from a folder. It took a long time to build up my library and I knew it very, very well.
Unless you're next to an exploding star, in which case you have other problems/opportunities.
Uhh, the Odyssey is still best of breed for minivans in the price segment.
How are these "large-scale reductions in force" different from recent mass layoffs in big tech? Are both equally bad? I work at a startup - they can terminate my employment at any time, for any reason. Do you think it's unfair? I can leave them at any time, for any reason. If you want to restrict their ability to fire me, then you should also restrict my ability to leave them, and I would object to that.

I believe that government has a responsibility to provide (very) basic resources for its citizens, regardless of employment status. I'm talking about social security and healthcare programs available to those in need. For example, a monthly check for $1,000 should cover basic living expenses (simple groceries, a room for rent in a poor area of a poor state, a simple cell phone, public transportation, etc), and medicaid should cover most common health problems. If someone wants more than that, they should acquire skills to do a job, convince others to hire them, and work well enough to keep the job. And if that job is gone (for any reason), they should be ready to acquire new skills to do a different job. If they are unable or unwilling to do so, they should be content with getting by on that welfare check.
Does it have "Stop after current track"?
The use of LLMs for constructive activities (writing, coding, etc.) rapidly produces a profound dependence.

Try turning it off for a day or two, you're hobbled, incapacitated. Anecdotally, ThePrimeagen describes forgetting how to write a for/range loop in Go after using CoPilot for a while (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQNyYx2fZXw). Funny stuff.

Competition in the workplace forces us down this road to being utterly dependent. Human intellect atrophies through disuse.

In the arts, we see something different. People don't seem to like AI-generated content. For example, I monitor a random sample of recent pornography (random 4-second slideshow from all over the Internet, some scary stuff, see https://rnsaffn.com/zg3/) and AI-generated porn is still very niche, comparable in frequency to small fetishes like elder or latex or rope porn. I expected it to be more popular, but generally humans prefer something else.

As Tim Cook recently said, (paraphrased) once you start using Apple Intelligence to think and work, it's hard to stop.

Those skills that you no longer use will be lost. This is the profitable new addiction, and programmers like us are the first group of people to become hooked.
For one on a data level that's not an accurate statement even limited to the countries in question, here's productivity: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/labor-productivity-per-ho...

Europe has largely converged on American growth, the East in particular continues to grow fast. But more important is that this is obviously an intentionally selective group of countries. Add Taiwan or South Korea to this story and it becomes a lot more complicated, because the latter is about to/has overtaken Japan on a per capita basis while having some of the worst demographics on the planet.

There's research by Keyu Jin that actually shows the opposite, globally growth after the year 2000 has been faster in aging countries for the simple reason that it increases returns on labor saving technology, i.e. automation (telling image:https://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/13645.jpeg) and that is, even if you are conservative on technological developments in the next few decades, likely to accelerate quickly.
I could be wrong, but I can't find anything about how to include your C dependencies with IronPython when you compile. Instead I see that IronPython has limited compatibility with the Python ecosystem because of Python libraries using C.

Contrasted with WASM where you can write in any language and bring the ecosystem with you, since it all compiles down.
Taking twobof my favorite parts of the ecosystem (ts and jsx) and leaving behind the rest (webpack). Good luck!
We've seen many occurrences where private or sensitive information has been compromised due to carelessness or incompetence by employees. Sometimes this is the result of credentials that have more permissions than required, or due to carelessness, or poor security policies. Other times we have seen employees abuse access for personal reasons. I don't know what's going on with DOGE, and I don't know if it's illegal. The reporting and testimonials do not inspire confidence that the data is being handled in a careful and secure manner.

If the lawsuit proves everything is above board, that's great, and I would not consider it a waste of time by EFF. I would attribute the needlessnes of it to the lack of transparency and accounting by the government agents.
OK so someone has noticed that you "only" need 15MBs-1 for a 4K stream. Jolly good.

Now let's address latency - that entire article only mentioned the word once and it looks like it was by accident.

Latency isn't cool but it is why your Teams/Zoom/whatevs call sounds a bit odd. You are probably used to the weird over-talking episodes you get when a sound stream goes somewhat async. You put up with it but you really should not, with modern gear and connectivity.

A decent quality sound stream consumes roughly 256KBs-1 (yes: 1/4 megabyte per second - not much) but if latency strays away from around 30ms, you'll notice it and when it becomes about a second it will really get on your nerves. To be honest, half a second is quite annoying.

I can easily measure path latency to a random external system with ping to get a base measurement for my internet connection and here it is about 10ms to Quad9. I am on wifi and my connection goes through two switches and a router and a DSL FTTC modem. That leaves at least 20ms (which is luxury) for processing.
That website is delicious! Somehow it gives me more trust than if it were some overburdened react/bootcamp

Didn't know that tool but looks useful, thanks!
What generation Tesla?

On the originals, sure. The stock physically latches away from the center position when the signal is on. Works great.

On some of the newest ones, there is a left signal button and a right signal button. I think that, if you are signaling right and push the left button and you don’t lose the race against the automatic end of signaling, then you end up not signaling. This is both modal and racy.

On the intermediate models I’ve tried, I’m moderately confident that the stick always rests in the center position. You can’t push it toward center because it’s already there.
> I think it's important for a state to declare it's intent with a technology. The alternative is arguing the idea that technology advances autonomously, independent of human interactions, values, or ideas

The sleight of hand here is the implication that human interactions, values, and ideas are only expressed through the state.
5.6 kbit/s is enough for voice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Rate
It doesn't matter what I think - it matters who actually delivers these things. And it's generally these guys.
> This performance increase doesn't necessarily come from free given the application may need to be adjusted to utilise those extra cores especially when half of them are slower to ensure the workload is distributed properly.

It especially doesn't come for free when you consider that 12900k uses nearly 2.5x the power of a 2600k at peak.

I'm not even sure 12900k can operate at full load under air cooling for longer than a few minutes.
I'm using a thinkpad t480 and it runs everything fine

Okay; in which case, your little game was probably free.

How much would you pay for hosting at this point? The cheapest Droplet on DigitalOcean will cost you $60 per year. Maybe you planned to have your game downloaded from Google Drive, but I’m with Apple on this one, a small fee prevents many bad actors.

Especially when 95% of iOS developers are comfortably in the top 10% of US salaries, and top 1% worldwide.
We all know it’s just the Swift compiler getting confused.

In my cases I encountered this error in different scenarios in offset modifier, Strings, Colors.
Well, most all of the compiler, runtime, allocator, garbage collector, object model, etc, are indeed written in C++
And so are many special operations (eg crypto functions, array sorts, walking the stack)

But specifically with regards to library functions, like the other commentator said, losing out on in lining sucks, and crossing between JS and Native code can be pretty expensive, so even with things like sorting an array it can be better to do it in js to avoid the overhead... Eg esp in cases where you can provide a callback as your comparator, which is js, and thus you have to cross back into js for every element

So it's a balancing game, and the various engines have gone back and forth on which functions are implemented in which language over time
> Perhaps we don't need a single flat address space with byte-addressable granularity at those sizes?

History is filled with paging schemes in computers (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension). Usually people do this initially as it allows one to access more space without requiring a change of all software, it is an extension to an existing software paradigm, but once the CPU can just address it all as a single linear space, it simplifies architectures and is preferred.
Obviously this TypeScript one: https://huth.me/conway4/
> don't carry weak charge (so no weak force interactions)

Left neutrino have weak hypercharge, so they are produce by weak interactions and are detected using the weak interaction. And also gravity.

Right neutrinos (if they exist) have no weak hypercharge so they only interact by gravity.
Your survival also doesn’t depend on somebody’s discomfort or comfort with nuclear weapons, either. What’s the point of thought policing?
I'm impressed with your dedication and also amazed that I ran into this on HN. My 9-year-old just showed me your Geometry Dash remake in Scratch. You're like a legend to him and his friends!
Yes, all former employees (current employees that hold RSUs are offered sell-to-cover, no worries on upfront tax by cash). And yes, they are RSUs. As for options, ex-employees need to pay to buy options when leaving the company within 90 days.
Testing across more architectures helps to clarify if ACD uncovers failures tied to model scale, training data, or architectural differences like MoE or other desings.

If failures are model-specific quirks or can generalize across LLMs, that would support claims about ACD’s robustness and usefulness for broad AI evaluation.
The response among programmers honestly feels very bimodal. There seems to be the camp that just loves LLMs and have turned to Copilot for everything. Personally, I used it to mock unit tests and that's all I really trust it with. Once I get to a problem I can't easily solve it's something obscure enough that there isn't a lot of web traffic for it and Copilot falls over too, so I find myself rarely using it. Sometimes it's helpful as an intellisense, but a lot of the time it's too slow even for that.

Its value as a text generator or, god help us, a search engine, has also run thin for me. I don't ever use it. I still prefer my google searches and going directly to sites.
I don't have a dedicated benchmark for these primitives, but we use them in a database that processes petabytes of data [1] and we don't find specific bottlenecks.

Most of the performance factors would be the sync Mutex in used. I can imagine that by switching between the std Mutex, parking_lot's Mutex, and perhaps spin lock in some scenarios, one can gain better performance. Mea has an abstraction (src/internal/mutex.rs) for this switch, but I don't implement the feature flag for the switch since the current performance is acceptable in our use case.

The internal semaphore's implementation may be improved also. Currently, to keep code safe, I implement the linked list with `Slab<Node>` (you can check src/internal/waitlist.rs for details). Using a link like [2] may help, but that's not always a net win and needs much more time to do it right.

Background: When GitAuto rummages through files in a repository, it assumes the files are large and allows specifying line numbers to reduce noise. However, due to a quirk—possibly related to the o3-mini model GitAuto uses—it sometimes unnecessarily specifies the first line. In such cases, GitAuto should read all lines, just as it would when no line numbers are specified.
Never experienced this myself, and I have used discrete and integrated graphics cards from a variety of manufacturers.

Meanwhile on Windows I am not exaggerating when I say that every computer I have owned and every peripheral device I have ever used has had serious issues. Wireless headphones randomly disconnect, microphones require frequent unplug-replug cycles, rebooting is often required, reinstalling is common. Mice and keyboards have weird compatibility issues with software drivers. This experience is shared with most people I know that I have discussed it with. People are just used to it.

Maybe it isn't Linux that is the problem. Maybe the problem is that consumer hardware is designed and built on the cheap and is not designed to last, and they get away with it because most people (1) have no idea it could be so much better and (2) have no insight into these issues before buying because they are rarely covered in reviews.

For some reason when this happens on Windows, the hardware is to blame, but when it happens on Linux, Linux is to blame.
I don't buy this really. COVID to now is less than 1 laptop replacement cycle for non-techie users who will usually use a laptop until it stops functioning, and I don't think the techie users would upgrade at all if their only option is worse.
Yes. We have at least one team dedicated to identifying bugs and maintaining technical quality. For example they statistically analyze our CI runs to identify regressions. They find some subtle bugs that would be difficult to identify through one's own experience.

https://lethain.com/managing-technical-quality/ discusses when it makes sense to build such a team.
