"Annotations are declerative shorthands."

OR. Are annotations a crutch for something that should be in the language.

Just generally, if some tool has to use annotations, then that is indicator of something that should be in the language.
Exactly; if you ask about for example a test assertion or mocking library like in Java, you get told to not use it. These libraries often add a DSL of sorts, meaning you have to relearn them.

Granted, Go's testing library / setup is also a bit of a jump from regular Go code (especially things like table tests). But the assertions are just `if`s.
The modern Dem party, is sadly boring and correct.

I think they need to split their approach into two.

One for to keep Their base energized.

One to use the system and protect itself. The courts, the local elections.

What is being taken out are the systems that run the country. The dems have to be the one to defend it.

But frankly, I think the battleground is a media battleground.
AFAIK, the basic issue is still open at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33803 and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59715.

You still need to use a helper library like https://github.com/KimMachineGun/automemlimit or https://github.com/uber-go/automaxprocs.

Go 1.19 only had this in its notes for memory changes

"...includes support for a soft memory limit. This memory limit includes the Go heap and all other memory managed by the runtime, and excludes external memory sources such as mappings of the binary itself, memory managed in other languages, and memory held by the operating system on behalf of the Go program"

He was the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla during their incredible growth and innovation and success(at least when compared to other companies in the space).

So he has both the authority to do that and also has shareholders and employees believing that can multitask. That's not true of others. It's not like he's hiding it or lying about it like many people who secretly work multiple remote jobs do.

Three Body Problems are only systematically unsolvable, you can still numerically calculate and manually move them with some algorithm.
I don't know, maybe. Maybe not if they're getting ideas for a new ATC system not applicable to day to day operations of the existing one, which is more like what the tweet sounded like. But I really don't know the inner workings of any of that so it would only be speculation. I'm sure there's lots they could be doing better.

What I wrote stands though, the article seems poorly sourced and incorrect about its interpretation of the tweet.
When managing risks, the likelihood of something happening is only half the equation, you also need to consider the impact when it happens.
A 3.1% probability of a catastrophic outcome is a high, and possibly unacceptable level of risk.

We also must consider that the likelihood for this specific event has been increasing, no one says this is as high as it goes.
The stranger part is that AFAICT, eliminating all of this complexity is a rounding error unless the topic is the military or mandatory spending. They went white as sheet when someone suggested they would touch something that could matter.

Nah. This is fallacious. The return isn't time sensitive (within reason, usually 14-30 days most places here) whereas "I need pipe dope or we can't shower" is time sensitive.
They’re useful for tasks that don’t require correctness: brainstorming, exploratory research, sketching out the vague shape of a solution to a problem.

They’re mediocre to awful at consistently following instructions, unless you have the fortune of having a task and domain that are well represented in the post-training data.

Yesterday I needed to generate ~500 filenames given a (human written) summary of each document’s contents. This seemed to be the perfect task to throw an LLM into a for loop. Yet it took three hours of prompt engineering to get a passable set of results - yes, I could’ve done it by hand in that time. Each iteration on the prompt revealed new blind spots, new ways in which the models would latch onto irrelevant details or gloss over the main point.
I think you meant JSON5 since JSON doesn't have comments.

3G smartphones (mostly Nokia N60 platform) were a thing from about 2002 in some European markets, with rather limited uptake. The real killer feature of the iPhone, at least initially (remember the first one didn't have 3G in any case) was a browser that didn't make you want to throw the thing out the window in frustration every time you used it.

The iPhone was pleasant to use, or at least not actively infuriating. That was, to a large extent, all it took.

Nokia really messed up, here; there was nothing stopping them making an iPhone-ish thing (perhaps without multitouch) a few years previous to the iPhone coming out, and there was even a semi-decent third party browser for their platform (Opera) which they could have taken cues from or bought, but they were always far more excited about the featurephone market, seeing smartphones as a niche.
The original paper abstract [1] cuts through a lot of the jargon on the website, but yeah it's just a research platform for capturing (and doing limited processing on) video and telemetry for the purposes of AR-focused ML research.

It's not a new headset or a protoype for one.

"Egocentric, multi-modal data as available on future augmented reality (AR) devices provides unique challenges and opportunities for machine perception. These future devices will need to be all-day wearable in a socially acceptable form-factor to support always available, context-aware and personalized AI applications. Our team at Meta Reality Labs Research built the Aria device, an egocentric, multi-modal data recording and streaming device with the goal to foster and accelerate research in this area. In this paper, we describe the Aria device hardware including its sensor configuration and the corresponding software tools that enable recording and processing of such data."

uBlock working fine on Chrome.

There seems an implication that Chrome will stop manifest v2 and then users will have to switch to uBlock Origin Lite.

Personally I'm not going to worry till that happens.
Quarkus seems pretty good overall. No real issues with it.

Still more config than I'd like but that comes down to the fact it is more for services than MPA webapps.

Space Saga Explorer – A Star Wars Companion App for Fans
Hey HN!

I just launched Space Saga Explorer, an app designed for Star Wars enthusiasts who want to dive deep into the lore of the galaxy far, far away.

Features:
- Explore planets, species, vehicles, and starships
- Compare characters and their Force abilities
- Save favorites for quick access
- Beautiful dark mode UI with smooth animations
- Offline access to saved content

If you love Star Wars and want a fun, interactive way to browse the universe, give it a try! Would love to hear your feedback.

May the Force be with you!
City killer.

From what I've read it's estimated at 8MT or so. A large nuke.
Could somebody please explain how people are ready to invest their own time into development of such projects? I mean it's so risky and at the same time one still has to pay the bills.
fair enough, on it, was trying to be funny
I called both my senators' offices yesterday, because I still haven't gotten a response to my emails from a few weeks ago. Still waiting to hear back.

I also told them that working on legislation for protecting George C Marshall's house, and protecting bourbon, are not valuable uses of their time given the destruction currently being waged on the US Government.
It's also, well, unclear that it is a thing that anyone much _wants_. "What if a phone but with no screen and Siri listens to you constantly" just isn't an attractive proposition for most people.

I can't even remember reading any reports of read only failure due to flash exhaustion. I do remember boat loads of early SSDs, mostly sandforce based ones, spontaneously dying due to firmware bugs.
I know it’s crap. The network performance is worse with my own router because I cannot just completely ditch the ATT gateway.
So which language has native REST endpoints? Session-aware security?

Like, this is just standard metaprogramming, if you don't have it you will just reach for dumber tools like non-language aided code generation.
It's easy to point and laugh at a failed product with puzzling features, but I have respect for what Humane tried to do. They attempted to produce an AI product and get it to stand on its own two legs (metaphorically). They didn't have an annoying CEO grandstanding about the amazing tech while handwaving away hallucinations and common bugs, something Valley leadership does way too much of.

They didn't start with a VC-friendly strategy of free-then-paid to acquire market share. There was an off-putting monthly subscription right at the start. No confusion about what this product's business model or target customer was.

Contrast that to the ham-fisted way Apple, Android and Microsoft are attempting to bootstrap their AI offerings by jamming it into successful hardware products and sneaking users into it with dark patterns to opt them in.
And what does this have to do with anything I posted?

I don’t know exactly what went on in that interview. I have not read it.

It’s a complex topic and easy to misunderstand.
Well since it's my own parser I support both inline and line ending comments. So I guess it's technically jsonc (json with comments) but whatever really.

Clarification: when speaking of json formatting I handle 2 distinct cases that make sense for me: inline objects and inline arrays (where all properties/ elements are on the same line) which make Configs more readable when the objects / arrays are small.
I would guess they were not trying to extinguish a fire with diesel and accidentally learned you could.
True but if can write an LLM in 100 lines of JAX, perhaps we should just train that LLM to parse JSON?
A man that knows his value!
Fascinating. Thank you!

Not a world killer. A city killer, though.
It's been different companies at different times, but over the last 20 years HP does seem to have been particularly prolific at buying weird mostly-dead junk.
An object of this size would likely be an airburst on the order of 5 megatons. The largest nuclear explosion was at least 50 megatons.

And 90% of the planet is sparsely populated.
FWIW, this is still below the background hazard (the Palermo scale[0] is negative). This type of object (size + probability) generically exists all the time.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palermo_scale ("A rating of 0 means the hazard is equivalent to the background hazard (defined as the average risk posed by objects of the same size or larger over the years until the date of the potential impact).")
Your argument amounts to "they were different kind of harmful and incompetent then you assume".

If you fired necessary people in error, you are the incompetent one doing damaging firings. No one has the duty to pretend it was something better.

Obviously Trump personally did not changed opinion, people executing his policy under his terms made predictably bad firing.
There are large error bars right now. The percentages will likely increase and increase as the error bars reduce and the earth takes up a larger and larger space in the potential zone it can pass through.

Up until the earth is outside that zone and the chance drops to zero. So expect the "percentage chance" to keep rising until they have enough to data to rule it out entirely.
I can help thinking about our current tech and political leadership and the film “don’t look up” when I read this.
10. Cost of you having a flexible sleep schedule, so you usually wake up at 11am, but they want to come at 9am or you have to wait who knows how long, so previous night you are stressed about getting too little sleep, ending with getting no sleep at all because of the stress.
Yep, that's weird, I've always read that high power/temp can degrade electronics way faster. Any EE can shed a light here?
Yes, those workloads are mostly sequential I/O, that HDDs can still handle. Most of my usage is heavily parallel random I/O like software development and compiles.

You also have the option of using ZFS with SSDs as L2ARC read-cache and ZIL write-cache to get potentially the best of both worlds, as long as your disk access patterns yield a decent cache hit rate.
Sorry, not to belabor this point.

Would that suggest to you what you did wrong? Or purely show you what you got right? How chatty is this variable?
I don't know if you're conflating 'Metaverse' with 'NFTs' or something, but in Meta land it's very much a VR/AR term.

Bipartisan efforts are what makes Congress work.

It’s this loss that plagues Congress.

Bipartisanship is what was jettisoned by the republicans to ensure that they would always be able to blame democrats for the failure of the government.

Even during Obamacare, when they adopted a Republican plan, Romney had to distance himself from it. Despite all the efforts for Bipartisan outreach - for all the concessions, the republicans couldn’t stand with the dems.

The Dems must always be wrong.

Bipartisanship means you have to spend more effort to get more people on your team.

Partisanship means you just have to get on board with one party.

So how is bipartisanship the problem?
This topic is very subjective IMO.

Some love the glossy screens, others the matte ones. And this is really what it comes down to for me.

I would try getting a chance to view the difference in person before deciding.
> If the "industrial scale" is the main point, that looks like a solid argument - except why focus on animals? There's also tree plantations, mines, cities, and anything else that isn't sitting in the jungle doing craftwork.

I think the "factory farming" is the point. The manner of which animals are treated throughout their lifetime, and the manner in which they are dispatched, would make most people squirm. What's worse is that animals are shot and mostly just disposed of to keep crops from being eaten, and in many places it's illegal to sell meat from these or other wild caught animals. Often this is justified by a need to control disease or parasites, but more likely it's to protect the livestock industry. And of course, livestock will be crammed as close as possible to each other to 'increase productivity', and this poses a significant biohazard, as we've seen recently with the avian flu outbreak (and prior bird flu outbreaks, swine flu, mad cow disease etc. etc.) putting to question this justification of public health.
What's going to be really interesting is what happens when its determined that there is a 95% chance of it hitting Iran or China or a similar geo political foe. Would be fascinating to watch the political deal making. If the asteroid has a 85% chance of destroying Iran's military capability and the US has the ability to stop the asteroid, what does the US do? What concessions does it force from Iran? Who is the current president of the US?

Seriously!! Cars are marketed as a huge time saver, but every time I’ve tried one, they haven’t been. I’m told I just need to put in the time (ironic, no?) to learn to drive properly. Why don’t I just use that time to train my legs and run faster instead?

I don't think you're wrong, but you're making this sound like it an issue with the JVM. It's certainly not. I guess it could be an issue with the Java language, but I don't really think so.

Mostly it's an issue with the Java ecosystem.

>Then its "he said he would do that and was voted in, so that's what america wants". It's a wild to say its what people want when they didn't believe he would do it.

It is what people want. Just look at how many people on HN are aggressively carrying water for Trump and DOGE in these threads. They aren't the minority, they're the mainstream. You can't simply pretend the majority of Trump voters who absolutely do want him to do the things he says either don't exist or didn't vote.
Gotta disagree for C#.

It definitely has more language features than
Go, but by no means is indecipherable.

I find C# syntax to be quite crisp.
> It's incredible how easy it was to raise money in that time frame and how hard it is to raise money now. They would throw huge sums of money at you for the dumbest ideas.

Humane's series C was in 2023, long after the end of ZIRP. They will still throw huge sums of money at you for the dumbest idea, provided that you say the magic term 'AI' enough.
That sounds like the kind of reminder we'd do in a weekly team meeting or project review, but you might have different use cases in your mind.

In general the cost of having a separate meeting is kinda high (apart from booking the spot, it generally also means an agenda and a transcript)
China needs every power generation it can build.
If it's easy then why does nobody do it? ;)

In all exception-based languages I know of, catching an exception is so syntactically heavy that annotating intermediate exceptions is never done:

try {
Foo()
} catch (err) {
throw new Exception("message", err)
}

One line just turned into four and the call to Foo() is in a nested scope now, ew. At that point even Go is more ergonomic and less verbose:

err := Foo()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("dfjsdlfkd %w", err)
}
Trump won in big part because he said he was going to bring Elon in to fix the government.

Just because you don't like Trump and Elon doesn't mean that democracy isn't working as intended.

Yes the people who were suing SpaceX for not hiring enough immigrants while SpaceX was also required to hire US citizens should be fired. This is what we voted for. If you don't like it you should support a candidate that doesn't focus on identity politics and win the next election, then that candidate can focus on lawsuits and regulations against the greatest innovator alive.

I would suspect that by the time we’re able to pick a location with that degree of certainty, it would be too late to do anything about it.
So essentially, you are using indices rather than pointers.

Indices have advantages: they can be more compact, and they are position-independent. But you need a base pointer, and a bit more computation. It also requires you to have your own allocator, as your typical heap allocator will just give you an arbitrary pointer to your object.

It would be great to have a machine of loving grace summarizing and organizing all the hitherto ephemeral information, at least within an organization.
Nah, I used to have a YouTube plugin that worked years ago but don't any more. I don't use it for "TV" purposes, though, it's more of a home cinema device. I don't have background screens in my house.

But my point wasn't literally to use a Raspberry Pi 2, just that you can get cheap low power devices that beat "smart TV" crap. You can of course get much more recent ARM-based boards that support all the latest HD standards etc. I don't do the hedonic treadmill, though, so I'm still happy with 1080p Blu-ray.
If the paths released are accurate, there are major population centers along its path. We certainly do not want an impact to human life or infrastructure.

Ask HN: What are new tech books worth reading?
Argentina and US are very different countries, starting these cuts with very different economic realities. For example, 55% of all registered workers are employed by the government in Argentina. Although not a directly comparable metric (since in the US you also need to account for state and local civil workers), the US federal government employs around 3 million people. That's just 1.87% of the entire civilian workforce.

Again, DOGE operates from the premise that the federal government is bloated. Although this is a very popular message, I'd love to see some more objective data to support this and I doubt that CDC or USAID are the agencies where the bloat is. Like I said, their actions seem vindictive and careless. Also, likely to result in legal cases that will drag for years and end up costing taxpayer more than the supposed savings.

The main con is that once you fire the workers that you thought you didn't need (but that you did indeed need) hiring them back becomes more expensive and a lengthy process. Some of the firings are already causing chaos in vital teams among several agencies and have forced DOGE to try to reverse course (bird flu monitoring, nuclear response...).

And that's not to mention the dire situation you put the people you are firing in. Laying off people from their jobs is never "an experiment" unless you are willing to suspend every trace of empathy.
