I have a rare metabolic disorder which frequently causes some extraordinarily harsh abdominal pain and has done so with increasing frequency, intensity, and so on since I was fifteen, which is to say "most of my life." I am avoiding graduating to hydromorphone (Dilaudid) for as long as I can. My scrupulous avoidance of exacerbating factors can cut down on the situation but not eliminate it. Disability seems to grow closer and closer and I am forced to consider somewhat problematic procedures such as a celiac plexus block (temporarily burning out some nerves so the pain cannot reach the brain) as a method to extend my working lifetime.

Hiding in a flow state and such can be a little useful, for a while. I know what kinds of tasks I can best do when I am only at a five at the scale, which has apparently grown somewhat distorted due to becoming inured to such things.

They say suffering builds character, but they were not specific as to which type of character it builds, because it largely seems to have constructed only bad character for me. Part of me believes that many people -- and therefore society as whole -- could be not only more productive, but possibly better human beings overall. Our civilization, I think, would benefit from trying for solutions, treatments, and the like when it comes to chronic pain.
I have tried to look into avante, but settled on codecompanion:

* codecompanion supports passing buffers, lsp and more. That seems to be really helpful when generating response.

* IMHO, codecompanion is more vimish (if that's the word)...

* Officially avante supports less models

* I have contributed to codocompanion GitHub models support (https://docs.github.com/en/github-models) so you can use some models basically for free with some limits and this is more than enough for daily usage from my experience (caveat that GitHub models are limited to 4000-8000 tokens so if that's problem for you then don't use it). I see avante does not support GitHub models.
>You have once again conflated individualistic values with real world values

I'm not. It's just nonsensical to think there is some 'real world value' independent of the people said product is targeting in the first place. You don't get to tell people what provides them value.

And by the way, this person I replied to in the first place is specifically commenting on this 'individualistic value' so I have no idea why you thought your comment was relevant if you think such distinctions exist.

You're the one who seems bent on personal anecdotes if anything if your assumption is that LLMs are used for 'unimportant work'. I did not initially bring anecdotes or assumptions into the matter at all.

>I am afraid you are simply incapable of understanding

Whatever floats your boat I guess

Looking at the replies to this comment, I'd not say tech enthusiasts are going to be into these foldables, only those that want something that can be an iPhone, an iPad and possibly a laptop combined into one without being good at any of them.

I still stick with my iPhone SE 2 as it doesn't fall out of my pocket.
I wish this “DI black magic” meme would die. If you’re afraid of runtime DI, then use Dagger 2.
We need to recalibrate the overton window. Anything remotely based in reality is immediately labelled far-left these days.
While working in Django projects, one would prefer to have an environment activarted to perform all kinds of django-admin commands, I certainly wouldn't want to do via `uv run`.

Also, `nvim` is started with an environment activated if you want all the LSP goodies.

`uv run` is good for some things, but I prefer to have my venv activated as well.
I think you are about to be updated.

Watch this clip with Prof. Whyte from 8 years ago. It’s the team behind CFS(then still at MIT).
Highly interesting. He will explain exactly what they will do(now doing), how they will do it, and why they will do it they way they are doing it.

Please note that they are pretty much on target since. I have been following CFS closely.

Essentially the breakthrough has been the ability to manufacture more powerful magnets. CFS makes the most powerful magnets in the world.

That was always the main issue, how to contain the plasma.

Another article on the front page is discussing the capabilities of AI for coding.

I wonder, given a 500 line problem, can any of the current cutting edge AIs make the code obviously, dramatically better?

How far can they go?

That for sure, and signals in one way or another. It took us 10+ years, Solid.js then preact to bring back a pattern from 2010s (IIRC) implemented in Knockout.js.

People are talking about declarative signals in HTML. I don't have a formed opinion about them yet.
Neither of those have anything to do with that kind of security. The preparation process for sealed sender looks very complicated and iffy, but maybe someone has checked that the protocol is secure-- I don't see any reason for such a complicated procedure, and I see such complicated procedures as something which can only be intended to hide insecurity, but let's assume it is.

You still have connect to them and deliver this to the signal servers. They'll have your IP and will know approximately where you are physically.

There is no way to make this kind of thing secure without some kind of remailer system and without many peer-to-peer connections.

Almost all proper anonymous remailers have been shut down. What remains, Tor for example, are insecure parodies of an anonymous remailer, and this is justified to the users as being for the sake of speed, but makes the system useless for anonymity. Even Mixminion is insecure if you can observe the full network, since you can count the packets received by the clients and there aren't dummy packets.

Tetris in PostScript
I've just implemented Tetris in PostScript, pushing the limits of a document-processing language to run a realtime game. It works in GhostView on macOS.

* 600 lines / 10 KB * 69 different PostScript operators, no external libs * Realtime input, direct drop, increasing speed levels * 7-tetrimino random bags * Nintendo-style scoring and high score tracking

This project builds on my earlier experiments with PSChess and PSSokoban.

It show that PostScript is a lightweight, expressive, and surprisingly interactive programming language. A perfect tool for hacking on unexpected platforms.
I wonder how a migration to for example Micronaut from Spring would look like in their case. It is optimised for startup time, performs the dependency injection and annotation processing in compile time as well.
Is cycling (as a method of transportation of course) really that popular in Italy? I’ve never noticed that.
As a child I was a voracious consumer of these books, in particular the Sorcery! series, published in 1983. I also found the Talisman of Death particularly good. A feast for the imagination.

> people don't need to work out which version of cuda/which gpu settings/libraries/etc. to use

This is not true in my case. The regular pytorch does not work on my system. I had to download a version specific to my system from the pytorch website using --index-url.

> packages bundle all possible options into a single artifact

Cross-platform Java apps do it too. For e.g., see https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc. But it does not become a clusterfuck like it does with python. After downloading gigabytes and gigabytes of dependencies repeatedly, the python tool you are trying to run will refuse to do so for random reasons.

You cannot serve end-users a shit-sandwich of this kind.

The python ecosystem is a big mess and, outside of a few projects like uv, I don't see anyone trying to build a sensible solution that tries to improve both speed/performance and packaging/distribution.

On modern 64-bit machines, sizeof(int) != sizeof(int*) is very true. But there's probably a significant amount of code that assumes it's equal to sizeof(uint64_t) or sizeof(long). :)
From the article: What makes these versions special?

The original art! When possible, we’re using the original black-and-white artwork for the interiors – most of which hasn’t been available in over a decade!
Designed for readability! The original Fighting Fantasy books were smaller mass-market paperbacks. They were perfect to sneak into your lunch bag at school, but these new versions are designed to make leaping into a hero’s life easier than ever, with larger print and enhanced formatting that makes reading a joy.
Available in the States! No longer do you need to order overseas or via online auction sites.
Designed as a set! These editions will look great on your shelf, with a unified design, numbered spines, and evocative art. If you’re a longtime fan, these are the versions you wish you had when you were younger! And if you’re new to Fighting Fantasy excitement, these books will be a gateway to worlds beyond imagination.
If they affect your life they can be observed.

If "democracy" is just metaphysics then it's irrelevant. But if it has actual tangible effects such as "can you vote?", "can you protest the government?", "is the leader of the opposition arrested?", "do most people think they live in a democracy?", "how popular is new legislation compared to previous years?", etc...

Then you can make predictions about it and test them!

You can even do local predictions if both can agree, such as "will the combined incomes of my family be higher or lower in 4 years time?" as low coupling proxies for gdp. (Ideally one would use probabilities for loosely linked proxies like that and use the probability differences the two theories assign to give bits of evidence to one over the other, so you'd want many many such proxies, ideally uncorrelated ones)
> It's not fair to students to bake "harmless" lies into their early education, as a way to simplify the topic such that it becomes more easily teachable

Childrens' brains are not fully developed. I see no gain from telling a 6 year old that "most numbers aren't countable". Especially because most numbers are never used or interacted with in any way shape or form. It's not "lying", it's separating concepts and prioritizing.
>> Yes, but it provides value only for scientist careers, not for science.

That's a very definitive statement. But perhaps it is untrue?

It would seem yes, that it's good for scientist careers.Are "good" careers versus "bad" careers good or bad for science? In other words, is it useful to rank scientists when allocating grant money? Do good scientists make better use of the money than bad ones? Are there other ways you could suggest to rank scientists?

Perhaps there are other groups that benefit as well? What about people issuing grants? Is it useful to them that there is industry recognised feedback regarding the scientist and her work? Is this useful when allocating limited funds to an unlimited demand?

What about people following the science? Let's take industry. Say I want to make a commercial product. Should I start by paying attention to the field, understanding the science? Or is it ok to just read any unvetted thing?

What about media, and by extension the population? Can a media outlet run a story based on "something someone wrote on the internet"? Or should they prefer credible sources? Should the public have some interest in the truthiness of something? Should the public (via the media) understand the difference between a result published in the New England Journal of Medicine, or what my homeopath down the road published on their blog?

What about say doctors keeping up with "current ideas"? Should they believe everything, every "study" posted on a blog? Or should there be a system of gate-keeping, sifting the valuable studies from the chaff? Presumably knowing that a study is well formed, and not paid for by say big pharma, might lend it more weight?

Of course publishers benefit (financially) from this system as well. But they don't matter right? So we'll ignore that. But even if you remove them from the equation, I'd suggest that "science" does indeed get value from the system, beyond just scientist careers.

Now, could all these benefits be gained in an alternative way to expensive journals? Almost certainly so. But in order to build such a system it's important to understand the strengths of the current one. A "simple" law might solve one part of the puzzle, but at the same time have very foreseeable consequences in other parts of the picture.
I would get these from the library one after the other, I had to use pencil in the character sheet so I could rub everything out before I returned it. I remember keeping bookmark-fingers in as many pages as I could in case I had taken a wrong turn of inevitable death. Good times.

i think encoding and decoding has a lot to do with it. we can watch a Disney movie and I'll ask my 4yo what it was about and she can name the main character but without prompting can't tell you where they went or why. Those phony sounding assignments of "what i did over summer vacation" don't seem so useless now. Right now we're getting lots of imaginative story fragments but missing a coherent narrative linking one sentence to the next. It's interesting watching them play with language and learn how stories work in real time
I always enjoyed the "one-stop" solution with conda/mamba that installed the right version of cudatoolkit along with pytorch. How do you handle that without conda? (I'm genuinely ask because I never had to actually care about it.) If I manually install it, it looks like it is going to be a mess if I have to juggle multiple versions.
It was like a dozen different versions of libtorch_cpu.dylib. So hardlink does not help.
haha well your test did take 22ms, but starting the JVM and loading all the classes and all your dependency injection stuff probably took 5s. You can test it yourself with a tiny hello world, it's pretty fast to start.
You’re plumbing new depths of humour there.
Not "likewise". MoltenVK is a compatibility shim that wraps Vulkan to Metal, not a true hardware interface. This has impacts on performance and compatibility, some features straight up don't work because Metal doesn't provide an equivalent. Given the apparent legal entanglements between Kronos Group and Apple re: Vulkan, it seems unlikely that true Vulkan support on Apple hardware will ever happen outside of Linux.

Valve didn't bother with Metal because Apple are hostile to their business model, they've given up dedicating serious rescources to the platform and at this point Steam only exists on MacOS out of inertia.

I played some of this after I read the NESFab page posted about a week ago. It's an impressive NES game for any length of time spent on development, let alone a month. Now that I know that it's from the creator of NESFab, the polish makes sense -- obviously the creator is intimately familiar with both the hardware and their own development tools. Compliments must also be paid to the art and appropriately Sisyphean music.

Can you post an example of such new syntax? In my experience C#'s syntax is getting cleaner.
> Fortunately `f64::parse` accepts a strict superset of JSON number grammar

Just for the sake of completeness, and not to imply that you don't know this, but the JSON spec doesn't limit the size or precision of numbers, although it allows implementations set other limits.

I have encountered JSON documents that (annoyingly) required the use of a parser with bigint-support.
> But a lot of people use it with spring/spring boot, a technology designed to work around the complexities of a particular type of middleware...

No, people use it because we don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Spring is well documented and Spring Boot gives you a set of dependencies that all work together.

Then you don't have to spend time messing around with things like OAuth and authentication, you can just write the application.

A piercing that takes months to heal and has its own potential side effects (infection for one) does not seem worth weeks of relief after which pain returns. The authors of this study therefore do not recommend this piercing for migraines despite the transitory benefits

If you're doing "dependency injection" by just passing arguments to functions/modules, you're not really doing dependency injection—you're doing "dependencies" without the "injection" part. I'm not saying that DI necessitates a ton of magic, but you need at least a small framework for specifying dependencies and injecting them into your modules dynamically.
so, given that all scientists and all fields have not immediately adopted this journal, can you elaborate on why some have chosen to not take this approach?

By understanding their reasoning it's perhaps possible to understand what benefits are missing from this model?

If this cheap publishing approach is better for grant providers, why do they in turn not place more weight on previous papers published this way. Presumably if they "prioritised researchers who do this" they would driver behaviour - no law required? Is big-journal leaning on them?
It probably is 5.5GB. UV caches versions of packages and symlinks to them but pytorch is infamous for many different versions especially for different features.

And since its compiled dependency even if UV was to attempt the the more complicated method of symlinking to use a single version of identical files it wouldn't help much. You'd probably need to store binary diffs or chunks of files that are binary identical, at that point your code would probably start to resemble a file system in user space and time to switch to a particular version of the files (ie create thek as qctual files in filesystem) would be much higher.

Also I believe uvs cache is separate from the pip cache so you could have different copies in both.

I think there's a uv cache prune command. Arguably it should offer to install a from job to do it periodically

The real win for this team isn’t just switching from Java to Go. It’s breaking free from the heavyweight framework ecosystem that the JVM all but forces on you.

It’s not that the JVM is bad or that Go is a silver bullet, but Go does act as a forcing function, pushing teams to write simpler, more efficient code without layers of boilerplate, indirection, and unnecessary IO.

You can still do inversion of control without an IoC container—instantiation works just fine! Look at Go’s HTTP middleware pattern with structural typing and first-class functions. No config files, no annotation magic, just composition, testability, and code small enough to hold in your head.
