What is wishful about my comment?

I've used and still use AI, but it would be wishful thinking to say I'm significantly more productive.

As you just said: in your personal projects - that 99.9% of the time will never be seen/used by anyone but you - AI helps. It's a great tool to hack and play around when there are little/no stakes involved, not much else.

I believe it will reduce demand for programmers at least for a while, since companies touting they're replacing people with AI will learn its shortcomings once the real world hits them. Or maybe they won't since the shitty software they were building in the first place was so trivial that AI can actually do it.
for those who are in the industry, it's just a marketing term.
Yeah but it's old. There was no dip in 2024, only a steady increase.
There is a book about this theory written in the 1960's called 'The Structure of Scientific Revolution' by Kuhn that talks about some sciences which progress one funeral at a time and how progress is not linear. He also remarks how people from outside the standard thoughts and education surrounding the current system are typically the ones to actually progress science.

One example is Geocentrism vs Copernican astronomical models -- Copernican could never have sprung from the status quo because everything revolved around the Earth in Geocentrism instead of around the Sun. You can't square that circle.

Sticking it to Trump by switching to a bad maps app.
I'm not sure I understand your argument.

Rust is very much designed as a low-level language. If you want a higher-level language with similar guarantees, OCaml, Haskell, F# or Scala do the job very well already.

The mechanism of argument passing has its uses in terms of both performance control and avoiding unwanted aliasing, something that not many languages do properly (not even Ada, iirc).

It's not the right thing to do for all languages/applications, but I believe that it's the right thing to do for Rust. Do you have a better design in mind?

I started using Svorak A5 (https://svorak.ahall.se/) the summer before I started college in 2016 (with the standard bindings on the numerical keys as well, so it's redundant). Since I have started using more alphabets I have modified the layout quite a lot over the years. I now have Norwegian, Icelandic and Sami characters as well. I currently bind up to four characters per key.

It's really true that the extra layers doesn't disturb at all. Some characters I don't even know where they are, but most I use daily. There are also some that are placed strategically, so that I can find them when i need them (ŋ is Ctrl+Shift+AltGr+N, the ◌̌ dead key is Ctrl+Shift+AltGr+^ and ° is Ctrl+Shift+AltGr+0).

I even created a left-handed version once (https://gist.github.com/widforss/f980baa66d4c99f94adc41b17bd...), though I never bothered to learn that one.
Zephyr: A modular OS for resource-constrained devices
> Like half the reason why people do manufacturing in China is because all the manufacturing is there

It sure helps, but the primary reason is price. And the main driver for that are wages.

Chinese manufacturing pays workers an average $24k/year, for 49h/week. This is after adjusting for purchasing power-- actual mean wage is <$15k (!!).

You can shoot suspected union members on sight and allow dumping dimethyl mercury straight into the next river-- no amount of "regulatory streamlining" will come anywhere close to making the US competitive here.
They can do it, they're just slower, less reliable and orders of magnitude more energy-expensive.

But yes, they're potentially easier to setup.

The ability of LLMs to replicate MBA CEO-speak and the kinds of activities the C-suite engage in is arguably superior to their ability to write computer programs and displace programmers, so on a replicated-skills basis LLMs should pose a greater risk to CEOs. Of course, CEO success is only loosely aligned with ability, nor can LLMs obtain the "who you know" aspect from reflection alone.

It was an experiment. I realized it was too clunky, but I also realized that it would've worked really well as just a single row. It took alot of thinking to realize that though. I spent a lot of time imagining more complex systems before realizing that a single row worked best.

Ask HN: Summarise the UK Online Safety Act for Me

I don't think it's "testing autocracy"; it's just getting a lot of things done as fast as possible. Trump made a lot of campaign promises.

Contrast it with Labour over here in the UK, who've "only" been in power 6 months, and the difference is incredible.

Convert table row to a string, json to whatever

Apply base16 to the that variable

You've now got a base16 string of that data.

Create a hash table, setup a key value for that base16 string.

You now have a container holding the data.

All you need to do is decode the hex string and you've got base32 data.
while grid[index] == 9 || grid[index] != 0 {

is equivalent to

while grid[index] != 0 {

so when you backtrack, you always backtrack all the way to the beginning.

I think you want

while grid[index] == 9 || initial_grid[index] != 0 {
grid[index] = initial_grid[index];

or something to that effect.

HVM?
What's your question exactly?
Does using 2x24GB VRAM mean that the model can be fully loaded into memory if it's between 24 and 48 GB in size? I somehow doubt it, at least ollama wouldn't work like that I think. But does anyone know?
Cool concept! I do research in solar concentrator optics, so I enjoy seeing such completely different applications of concentrated sunlight. Still, I am not fully convinced in this specific case. I wonder if it is not a lot easier to provide the missing spectrum ourselves instead of running fiber optic bundles from the roof?

If I understand correctly, your two main benefits are broader spectrum and lack of PWM flicker. Did you measure the spectrum of the light from the prototype monitor? The light goes through several filters - first I assume the daylighting system has an IR filter to prevent overheating. Then it goes through the LCD itself, and the color filter array in front. Are you still left with a lot of IR (or the frequencies are considered beneficial) after all this?

But doesn't economics matter somewhat? You don't seem to acknowledge supply/demand; just talented and untalented craftsmen which you assume exist in eternal ratio that cannot fluctaute with supply and demand or market forces. Reality encompases both money and art.
> To be clear, I don’t think the executive can just ignore the difference between a billion to the FCC versus a billion to USAID.

Right, he tried that last term with the wall and didn't win in the courts.

> My point is that, having given a large slush fund to USAID with only vague guidance on how to spend it,

How certain are you that it's as vague as you claim?

>The President isn’t obligated to spend the money on the priorities career USAID people want to spend it on. He can spend it on whatever smart lawyers can justify as being within the broad terms of the corresponding appropriation bills.

I think it's a large assumption to say the POTUS can spend the money for an organization on lawers meant to defend dismantling the organization.

What statues do you believe enable this?
>Congress never specifically appropriated money for grants to bankroll left wing labor organizations in Bangladesh. The executive did that and the executive can undo that.

Not familiar with the specifics you are waving at, do you have more information?

> And it’ll take time to see whether he’s going to end up spending less than appropriated for statutory programs, such that there’s an impoundment.

So logically the lawyers mentioned earlier by you, could demand a fee sum large enough to ensure the spending, and try to prevent any impoundment?

> Remember, USAID isn’t going away, it’s keeping 600 or so mission critical employees.

> The worst thing which can happen is that there is some misunderstanding and you are delayed a bit

Even so, the little things alone can ruin the experience, before adding the big ones.

Maybe it's a busy day at the airport and you're stuck in a surprise 2h security screening or passport check queue. Maybe you're pulled over for a routine check, or 2, or 3. Maybe you have 1kg over weight for your hand luggage and they expect you to check it in for extra cost while others are allowed with oversize luggage. Maybe they keep changing the gate 2-3 times and you have to constantly be alert and ready to move around the airport. Maybe your flight is late 1h or 7h. Maybe you have to sit in a crowd with dozens or hundreds or people in the (off)boarding area. And so on. There are just so many more ways to be irritated by air travel.

And that's just before you are on the plane. Seat comfort-wise air travel is probably the worst option. I'm above well above average height so I have to pay extra for a decent (not great) experience, or be ready to do the check-in the first moment it's available, or if there are no sits with extra leg room I'll suffer for hours, or be hit over the knees with the different carts by every inattentive flight attendant if I try to spread towards the aisle, or sit behind someone who reclines their seat the whole way.

There's only so much will you can have to have all these things slide. It's like saying that whenever you get punched in the face you can lean into it to make the experience better. It will still very much suck, just marginally less. And I flew hundreds of times, I tried all the tricks. For average travelers there's a ceiling for their air travel experience and it's in the "hopefully tolerable" range. And I tolerate it because I have no choice but it's objectively a bad experience almost without exception.

AFAIK ASIO is windows only.
Don't make another trendy AI-based dating service, people are sick of those. They only use them because they are forced to do so. First, figure out how to create a safe dating web site, ensure personal data security and don't collect anything you don't absolutely need, don't use too much telemetry and don't keep it for too long and especially don't use location-based telemetry, eliminate the bot problem which is inevitable, eliminate the problem of child predators which is inevitable, and things like that. The goal is to ensure that you only hold the data you require, and avoid any further data, since in a security breach user data is radioactive. Once you know how to do those things, just make a site where people can post a deep profile and search based on those profiles and perhaps have some sort of questions that help match people on a basic level with hobbies, values, etc. People will figure out how to find folks they might like to date and will take it from there. If you used Match back in ~2008 or so when it was profiles and dating questions, that's the goal. I met my wife there, and it was an alright experience. From stories I hear today, I would probably never date again!
How is it unconstitutional?
For logic, coherency, and rationality, your positive claim requires quite a bit more proof. Apply Hitchen's razor.
Echoing @steveklabnik's words, you're just hanging up on the semantics of how a particular insult has been made. This does not refute or diminish the fact of an insult.

If I actively participate in and align myself with a community that is committed to doing the $thing, and you come and say to me that "$thing is cancer", or that "the fact of doing of $thing is cancer", then it's functionally equivalent to insulting this community, and by extension to insulting me. In other words, it's clearly supposed to make _me_ feel bad (for pushing $thing, or participating in the doing of $thing), regardless of the precise wording.

It's still an unprofessional, uncooperative, and _unreasonable_ thing to do.
Why hasn't single thread computing gotten any faster since the 00's?
Google has been far too eager to please Trump and implement his silly ideas. I don't even think it's the president's job to name geographical features, and certainly not for the rest of the world.

Someone recently pointed out that this sort of thing is a test to divide the people into two groups: those who comply, and can be counted on to comply with whatever comes next, and those who protest, and are clearly a problem that might need to be dealt with. The people who are silent can generally be counted on to remain silent.

But even if you don't care about such political implications, it's ridiculous that Google is also forcing this onto the rest of the world.

But I was already planning to rely more on OSM anyway. I suggest that everybody who objects to this grandstanding do the same.

What's the end goal here? Only local governments?

Capitalism itself has no function against wealth accumulation besides taxation, although the efficacy is questionable.

Clojure got it right, commas are whitespace. Put them where ever you want, or don't. Problems 100% solved, and parsing is easier. Everything else seems super dumb once you see it.

Nice! I hadn't really thought about audiobook versions of free books.

I wanted to see how many modern books it has (Gutenberg etc. is valuable, but often I'd prefer modern writing), but it says that eg. Shelley's "A Defence of Poetry and Other Essays" is from 2006. Shelley died at least a few years before 2006. Maybe the year is the recording date?

If so, that's not that useful to me, I'd want to see the date of the work, not the recording.
A lot of the value of ChatGPT is built on the value of the information on the internet - what ChatGPT provides is a convenient way to access that in summary form.

Look at the size of company that Google built off that same value ( via search rather than summarisation ).

Google annual revenues are in the region of 350 billion - most of that derived, in one way or another, from people wanting to access information/entertainment on the internet.
It's really hilarious that the founder of DEC married a girl from Finland whose last name was Valve [1][2].

Also, the linked article states:

Before enrolling in graduate school, Olsen took a summer off and traveled to Finland. His parents’ neighbor had had a Finnish girl, Eeva-Liisa Aulikki, who was a visiting student, stay with them. Olsen liked her and he failed in his initial pursuit. Yet, Olsen was a determined man. He got a job at a ball bearing factory in Goteberg.

This is just ... strangely done. The ball bearing factory was SKF's [3] in Gothenburg Sweden. Finnish girls come from Finland typically, so this part is just strange and glitchy.

Yes correct,
"many shared interests are not necessarily a good proxy for spousal or romantic compatibiliy"
after reading your comment for like 10 times , i think then it would not be a typical dating site where your sole aim is to find people with spousal or romantic compatibility , it is more of a "connecting" app where you can have deep conversations with people and some of them might result in romantic relationships. Thinking about it reddit and facebook also do something similar but not exactly similar . they dont match people based on shared interests, not by analysing their youtube history , recommandations and watch later playlist.

Looking forward to your reply

Yeah, it's not meant to be used on mobile. The way it's designed makes it basically desktop only.

Also, the undo only works within editors. It doesn't work across editors. It takes some time getting used to, but I think this way is actually better. I was frequently alternating between taking notes & writing the chapter, & I didn't want to have to undo the work on my chapter in the process of undoing the work on my notes. So I just took out the global undo. It reduced LoC by alot & improved UX.
It honestly feels like your view on the topic is entirely defined around yourself. Like if a billionaire could genuinely not understand why people need medical insurance, because "you can just pay cash, like I do".

You are in a special situation where customers pay for your time. Of course it's easy to say "as long as I am paid for my time, I want my work to be public". But say you create a video game. You invest two years working on it, and at the end you sell it for 50$. The first customer buys it, and publishes online for everybody to download legally for free. Does that sound okay for you?

Because you don't need copyright laws doesn't mean that nobody does. And again, you admitted yourself that you do need them and you do use them. You just wish you didn't. And I can agree with you on that. I wish there was no war, and no poverty, too.

I am not saying that everything about IP laws or copyright is perfect. Just that it's more complicated than "it's just a ball of worms, throw it away". Some people abuse copyright, some people need it. Whoever is fine screwing those who do because it doesn't affect them are jerks.
Do I really own Intel/Tesla/Microsoft by buying their stock? No I don't.

I can't influence anything on any of these companies unless I was already a billionaire with a real seat at the table.

Even on startups where, in theory, employees have some skin in the game, it's not really how it works is it? You still can't influence almost anything and you're susceptible to all the bad decisions the founders will make to appease investors.

Call me crazy but to say I own something, I have to at least be able to control some of it. Otherwise it's wishful thinking.
