> Abundant houseplants help naturally purify the air.

apparently the effect is grossly overstated. You'd need to cram the place (in all dimensions) so tightly with plants there'd be no room for humans or furniture of any kind for any appreciable difference.
> 8 channels of DDR5 4800 will still get you something like 300 GB per second bandwidth.

That's the theory. In practice, Sapphire Rapids needs 24-28 cores to hit the 200 GB/s mark and it doesn't go much further than that. Intel CPU design generally has a hard time saturating the memory bandwidth so it remains to be seen if they managed to fix this but I wouldn't hold my breath. 200 GB/s is not much. My dual-socket Skylake system hits ~140 GB/s and it's quite slow for larger LLMs.

> Why does it have to be a dual CPU design?

Because memory bandwidth is one of the most important limiting (compute) factors for larger models inference. With dual-socket design you're essentially doubling the available bandwidth.

> And the original message you were responding to was using a CPU with AMX and mixing it with a GPU like Nvidia 4900/5900.

Dual-socket CPU that costs $10k on a server that costs probably couple of factors more. Now you claimed that it doesn't have to be that expensive but I beg to differ - you still need $20k-$30k of worth equipment to run it. That's a lot and not quite "cost effective".

That's where I think things are headed.

For example, when the NLRB was crippled by trump firing a member and losing quoroum, they forgot an important part of union history.

Prior to a proper process of grievances, the old answer was to basically wage war, guns and all, against the bosses and their families. The companies also hired Pinkerton's and every so often had the national guard also fight for the companies.

Union history is a bloody and murderous affair.

The NLRB was the compromise to "go to the bosses house and shoot it up to leave a message". With the NLRB effective destruction, the next logical devolution for worker rights is violence, and a lot of it.

As for me, I'm looking at what it would take to get out of the USA. Already interviewing with a few places in EU. The USA is basically an invaded country at this point. And I really dont want to be around when the violence picks up.
Happy to help! Yes we handle Elixir / Phoenix as a first class citizen. The whole thing is built in Elixir / Phoenix. We can also handle astrojs apps, our docs is built in astro hosted using Opsmaru.
I agree. Its not that difficult to just have a max-width of 90% for the content or just add some padding to the inner container.

I also think people skipping over learning some basic CSS fundamentals also end up skipping over basic UI/UX needed for accessible websites, something every web developer should have some awareness about.

Complete reliance on CSS frameworks does not magically make the websites accessible,it gets you 90% there.

Also /blog leads of 403!? Wildcard redirects are not that difficult to setup either.
It’s very easy to reason about when someone says “I alone can fix this.” You have a single person to look at and listen to. Not a faceless sprawling beauracracy and slow wheels of legislative progress.

It’s the same reason the antagonist in nearly every film is a single bad guy who is eventually karate-chopped down to size. It’s the same reason WW2 is a ‘simpler’ and more palatable narrative (a couple main bad guys) than WW1 (complex political and social movements across many countries led to war). Even though the same complexity of politics and social changes were also at play

In a big society where end effects are far away, we look to the strong men to handle the big problems

Doesn't have to be an SVG, just has to be text. Pornography involving children is Right Out, regardless of the medium, and that's not going to change.

The distinction between illegal porn, models that are fine tuned to write illegal porn, and general purpose models that may be capable of writing illegal porn but aren't fine tuned to it is going to be an interesting one for the law to figure out. A microcosm of many larger issues, really - maybe even reaching as far as general purpose computing (imagine a GPU that won't run unsigned models).

There was a private members bill in 2023 [1] that didn't go anywhere, we signed up for the Council of Europe's Framework Convention on AI in 2024 [2], and there was a consultation on copyright and AI launched in Dec 2024 [3]. There's a bill promised in 2025, but we don't really know what it's going to include (any assumptions seem to be off the table since the AI summit in Paris). I think that's it.

> Is hydrogen more energy dense ... than traditional fuels

Chemically, yes. But in reality, very far from it.

The bulky high pressure cylinders needed to store the gas (unlike propane etc, it doesn't liquify) easily weigh an order of magnitude more than the mass of gas they contain.
Chinese companies violate many of the norms that we take for granted, such as labelling things accurately. If a Chinese company makes things out of spec, it will not put its name on the product. If one of these companies does knowingly make an inferior product, a new brand/company might be formed just for that purpose. Also, free market capitalism works better with a means to enforce contracts such as the contents of spec sheets, because it speeds up accounting for deliberate bad behavior. Court proceedings establish facts that can communicate to the public what the company has been up to, versus possibly misleading rumors. Although the free market can eventually sort out bad information and unreliable actors, it works much better when information standards are enforced. False advertising wastes a lot of resources.
> he didn’t consider as the most important factor that the second time around he already knew how to do it

How'd you get that idea? Being faster because of something you "already know how to do" is like half the point of the post. The author even includes an anecdote that serves as an extreme example about how slow they were at working out code when they first started programming because they had to stop and think about loops.

It would be one thing if he'd written a post that includes the first few paragraphs here about writing <this> utility and then later writing <that> utility, then concluded, "… and that's why language X is better than language Y" or something. But he didn't. Which leaves me baffled by your comment.

I read this in high school, but not because it was assigned. At the time I was really into "rare" Queen MP3s, and there's a studio recording of the fast version of "We Will Rock You" where Brian May reads a passage from this book before the music starts. An odd way to be inspired to read a book, but I still think I got a fair bit out of it.
Therein lies the problem: it's not a government agency, at least not without Congressional approval.
Honestly, does it matter? If raising the chickens that yield your eggs makes your breakfasts more enjoyable, is physical vs psychological causality relevant? The important thing here is enjoyment of our food.

Depends on the payment method. Accounting is mandatory in Sweden.

As a customer of [payment] services, these entities would allow us to request this information if we chose to do so. In short, your payment actions with these two methods are not anonymous and the GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations may apply if you are making a payment by credit card, PayPal, Swish or by bank wire.

The data must be kept for the statutory retention period described in applicable local laws such as the Swedish Accounting Act (some information must be stored for seven years from the end of the fiscal year).

That "some information" according to Swedish Accounting Act (bokföringslagen): "Every transaction, including customer payments, must be supported by proper documentation such as invoices, receipts, and payment confirmations."

I agree that part is the more substantive change, but OTOH it seems reasonable to me: Why would the president have less oversight over the regulatory acts the bodies he nominally (and constitutionally) supervises than he has over the laws passed by congress, by virtue of them passing his desk on the way to becoming law?

It might not be a wise change for him or his party, given that all changes to the practice and structure of government ought to be viewed through the lens of your worst opponent wielding them...

Show HN: Nobooks – Automated Bookkeeping via Text for Solopreneurs
Hey HN,

I freelanced as a software dev for 4 years, and bookkeeping was always a pain—tracking expenses, dealing with 1099s/W9s, and scrambling at tax time. Most accounting software felt overkill, and I just wanted something simple.

So I built Nobooks—a bookkeeping tool that works entirely via text messages. No apps, no spreadsheets—just automatic expense tracking + 1099/W9 filings for $119.99/month. It syncs with your bank and keeps your books up to date with minimal effort.

We’ve got paying customers, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the product and ideas for reaching more freelancers and solo business owners.

Check it out here: https://www.nobooks.co

Would love feedback—what’s worked for you in managing your finances as a freelancer?

Bureaucracies are a “common good” because of their human element: the ability to exercise discretion, recognize unique circumstances, and be held accountable to the public they serve.

The challenge is harnessing technology while strengthening these essential human capacities. Anything otherwise erodes public trust and sows division.

Anecdotally I have regularly switched between store-bought eggs and eggs from my friend's little farm over the last 20+ years, and try as I might, regardless of consumption method, I have yet to taste a difference. I have also asked many friends over the years if they notice any difference and all have agreed with me.

It doesn't matter though, I still prefer my friend's eggs to store-bought ones, I'd rather not support that dirty industry.

I'm not trying to be pedantic but this is table stakes stuff. I know we're supposed to shy away from saying things like this but compared to the other engineering that airlines have to do, this is easy. It costs - at most, including wages - a few tens of thousands of dollars yearly to come up with these figures. It's a fraction of the salary of one United Airlines BA.[0] This cost might go up if one of the senior developers convinces their boss that this needs to be a machine learning model but unless they're resume pumping it's going to be at most PCA and a regression.

This is not a team of people working for months on this one thing.

Any relevant crypto has been not mined on GPUs for a long time.

But a point was made to make it less parallel. For example, Ethereum uses DAG, making requirement to have 1 GB RAM, GPU was not enough.

https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/1993/what-actua...

Also any GPUs are now several generations old, so their FLOPS/watt is likely irrelevant.
I'm certain that happens, but that can't possibly be the trillion dollars they think they are going to save.
My mom has a dozen backyard chickens and I agree with all of these. I'll tack on two bits from my own experience:

Good: Fresh unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated. They are perfectly safe at room temperature on the shelf for days.

Bad: You can't leave them with other pets without supervision. One of the dogs got himself a taste for chicken and already ate at least three. You can't train this out of the dog, unfortunately. I had to put down one poor chicken that was deeply injured but still alive. We constantly stay vigilant to keep the dogs and chickens separate.

I think you are missing my point.

Words like functions/procedures tend to have different connotations across languages and once one crosses one's 15th language, and each having some 20 different keywords, it become difficult to remember what the exact connotation of a word is, in a specific language/framework. This is the most likely situation of the guy whose post I responded to.

The exception to the rule is, if you have been working quite a bit _recently_ on a specific language. You are presumably talking about this situation.
