I think it is more about design, emulation mimics what something does. A simulator replicates what something does.

It is a tiny distinction, but generally I'd say that a simulator tries to accurately replicate what happens on an electrical level as good one can do.

While an emulator just does things as a black box ... input produces the expected output using whatever.

You could compare it to that an accurate simulator of a 74181 tries to do it by using AND/OR/NOT/... logic, but an emulator does it using "normal code".

In HDL you have a similar situation between structural, behavioral design ... structural is generally based on much more lower level logic (eg., AND/NOR/.. gates ...), and behavioral on higher logic (addition, subtraction ...).

"100%" accuracy can be achieved with both methods.
We are in 2025 already. Some other tool release their version N at the end of the year N-1.

I have yet to come across an interviewer who has a clue about anything that interests me.
Does this place always devolve into such bad faith trolling? Especially on this topic? Yes you did talk past them and yes you seem to be mostly missing the entire point ... And acting in bad faith, purposely saying nonsense with high confidence .

Not seeming to have even a basic grasp on morals or human decency and compassion .... In short this does not spark curiosity. And you are a rather nasty person who does NOT represent the bulk of humanity. And your attempts at dry or emotionless logic are easily dismissed .

Prior to the price spikes, it was relatively easy to find a dozen eggs for around or below $2.
I think you've got the contract backwards. The server can't break old clients, but new clients can break the old server since Amazon controls the old server and can ensure that all of them are fully upgraded before the client updates are published.
It is, those people think this practice will speed up process of that bond being understood as counterproductive.
All systems are accessible when you claim the right to arbitrarily fire people tasked with protecting access to it.
- Why is picker a function like `::picker(select)`, and not a CSS pseudo class like `::before` to select the `select`'s `picker` component? I.e., `select::picker` makes a lot more sense to me.

- What about multi-choice (`multiple` attribute) `select`s?
Personally, I always use chronological. I like to be able to hop on, and mingle with whatever percent of people are online and posting at any particular time.

Replying to people right after they post is how you actually get to have conversations with people, and get to know them well, imo
I'm not talking about being watched closely, I'm talking about regular work and then making a decision. You have to leave people space to do their thing if you want to see what they're capable of.

Let's say I have a few chickens in my backyard that don't have bird flu, and we (myself or my chickens) never come into contact with any other chickens.

Aren't we safe? If not, what are the possible vectors? Is it from random birds flying in my yard? My visits to grocery stores?
Where is it? Where is code, a model, a repo? If one of our startups in this community put out a press release like this saying they have plans they’d be laughed off HN. Why isn’t the EU held to the same standard?
I have never read this, but I really really enjoyed it. It is a great and succinct explanation of the circumstances leading up to a civil war. Very applicable to the situation in the U.S. today.
So, accept the overhead as the cost of hiring the right people?
I obviously agree, but for anyone reading along, this is also the legal definition: reasonable care. Reasonable is determined by peers, not the general population. So...
> what differentiated Apple from the rest was your ability to fully own and manage their devices easily without having to rely on some "forever" subscription.

I'm not sure that's ever been true of the iPhone. Apple's app store is the only way to install software, you're tied to their cloud from day 1. Its not a paid subscription that you're locked into, but they make sure everyone pays in some way.
AWS (which isn't Amazon, really, even if they share resources), used to bake the cost of keeping the lights on practically forever, or at least until the last user churns. The product may not see improvements if it didn't get traction, but you could bank on being able to use it forever.

When they did decide to kill something, like non-VPC EC2, you'd get the notice a literal decade ahead. For this specific example, sunset started end of '13, with the last instance shut off mid '23.

This all started to change a couple of years ago, when they became much more aggressive with doing the Googles and just killing a thing with a few months of a warning. Pity.
None of this makes any sense. Why should I complete a tech test interview if I have 15 years of experience at X top firm? I would have done it already anyway.

I had a ‘principal engineer’ at last place who grinded leetcode for 100 days and still failed a leetcode interview. It’s utter nonsense.

A conversation with technical questions and topics should suffice. Hire fast and fire people.
Further proof that this is not an “audit,” but a show trial.
Why would we want to prevent our Russian and Chinese friends Cozy Bear and Salt Typhoon from participating in our elections? Jesus, Libs, you're so racist.
We used to have one around the barnyard who hated me and hated my son (maybe 5 years old at the time) and hated it even more when I was carrying my son on my shoulders.

I learned from that, and other experience of hand-to-hand combat with birds, wildcrafting eggs [1], and such, to "never let a bird see your back". I like it how those little red-wing blackbirds like to sit on POSTED: NO TRESSPASSING signs because that is their attitude. They'll dive bomb you but also flap really hard up high at the sky to nip at the wings of hawks who are lazily cruising. You might not even notice they have a nest to protect if they weren't getting in your face about it.

[1] at least seven years ago, I think...
I believe 3DES is just being used for obfuscation? If they used the latest cipher and gave each user per-session keys then a reverse engineer could still access the data since the app itself must have the key to read the data.

re: big red, the sensitive traffic (but not all sadly), is communicated over HTTPS which should already protect you from eavesdroppers. My understanding is that the use of 3DES is just another layer of obfuscation to make it harder to abuse their app's private web APIs even if someone used a self-signed cert to MITM HTTPS. It's HTTPS that should be protecting your data in transit.

Basically I think this is a big nothing burger but would love to understand why I'm wrong. Though poor use of encryption certainly doesn't give me positive vibes on the developers.
RE autocomplete in Chrome. The only thing we've found to work reliably is ensuring that all inputs are in form elements. Any inputs outside forms are going to have inappropriate autocomplete prompts. It's extremely annoying but at least this works for now.

(I say "for now" because who knows when the Chrome team will change their heuristic?)
I don't fully understand the reactions in the comments.
It's an announcement of a project that is starting soon-ish, mostly aimed at recruiting students and getting European talent excited, why would you expect them to deliver a model upon announcing the project?

Did you expect OpenAI to release GPT in the press release that announced its creation as a company?
Bullshit Silicon Valley startups do big press releases based on literally nothing all the time, but all of a sudden this is an issue if an academic European institution does it?

I hope the post is being bot-raided because otherwise I'll have to accept that the quality of thought on HN has gone down. I get the typical biased US-elitism that is pervasive on this website, but these reactions are just plain dumb.
20 years ago, Thailand almost overnight got rid of backyard chicken farms:

> Perhaps the biggest and most lasting change, Auewarakul says, is that this outbreak abruptly accelerated the transition from backyard chicken farmers to large-scale industrialized poultry farms. He says this was a big cultural transition since chickens had been part of everyday life for many Thai families. [...]

> The shift to these industrialized farms has not fully eliminated avian flu in chickens, but the disease has been largely contained. With ongoing monitoring, cases are often identified early and dealt with before the virus can gain a foothold.

In the same way it's hard to earn money from using AI to make art, I don't see Etsy projects made by affordable domestic robots selling above cost.
Claude Sonnet 3.5 will often use JavaScript as calculator. It's not perfect when it comes to deciding whether it should write code, but that's easy to fix by prompting it with "Write some code to help you answer the question".

The post is honestly quite strange. "When LLMs try and do math themselves they often get it wrong" and "LLMs don't use tools" are two entirely different claims! The first claim is true, the second claim is false, and yet the article uses the truth of the first claim as evidence for the second! This does not hold up at all.
Assuming one trusts this model and there are no implementation bugs or undocumented lawful intercept API's one would be stuck with Google Cloud or Azure. I assume AWS probably also has this. Who else?

Given it's used by the big providers one has to assume there are lawful intercept API's or some other mechanism to abide by lawful orders to monitor traffic given MitM will not work. eBPF perhaps to grab keys or intercept the HSM if not API's.

>a DeepSeek distillation on my PC - where each step of the process is visible - removed quite a bit of the magic behind the curtain.

I always figured that by the time the 1990's came along, there would finally be powerful enough PC's so that an insightful enough individual would eventually be able to use one PC to produce such intelligent behavior that it made that PC orders of magnitude more useful. In a way that no one could deny there was some intelligence there, even if it was not the strongest intelligence. And the closer you looked and became familiar with the underhood processing, the more convinced you became.

And that would be what you then scale, the intelligence itself, even if weak to start with it should definitely be able to get smarter at handling the same limited data if the intelligence was what was scaled more so than the hardware & data.
I view the feed cost as being the yin to the egg production's yang. I'm not keeping a spreadsheet, but I do believe they produce more value in eggs than they ingest in feed.

In the warmer months, they also supplement their food from the yard when they eat a lot of grasses and fruits
I'd say that it needs a qualifier in general. I'm not against the word "chemicals", but unqualified, it means little more than the word "stuff". It really just needs an adjective, or to be about how many chemicals you're breathing in all day, rather than it being "straight chemicals", which implies that there is another way of existing, without breathing chemicals.
> In an hour-long interview, I have to be able to state the problem in a way the candidate can understand, within 10 minutes or so. We don't have time for a lecture on the intricacies of voucher calculation and global sales tax law.

Proving if they are technically capable of a job seems rather silly. Look at their resume, look at their online works, ask them questions about it. Use probing questions to understand the depths of their knowledge. I don't get why we are over-engineering interviews. If I have 10+ years of experience with some proof through chatting that I am, in fact, a professional software engineer, isn't that enough?
They can't, unless they're physically down the street from you with a buttinski plugged into a junction box. That post was nonsense.
From what I hear, it's still a very popular major, to the chagrin of new grads who find out that the market is rougher than they expected :P

with the open sourcing of smithy and the raw s3 specs, open source should be able to build clients in just about any language they care about while keeping relatively high fidelity with implementations s3 releases.
Can I build a solar system simulator with this? Looking for calculating the absolute positions of planets and moons with the sun at 0,0,0 given a datetime. Kepler calculations for planets, moons etc would be fine, as long as I can insert arbitrary objects and calculate their trajectory using gravity. Can this project do that?
Or it could be the cable.

For me, I have an M2 and no issues. Was worried about v1 issues (same for VisionPro—will wait until v2)
> Now, some might interject here and say we could, of course, train the LLM to ask for a calculator. However, that would not make them intelligent. Humans require no training at all for calculators, as they are such intuitive instruments.

Does the author really believe humans are born with an innate knowledge of calculators and their use?
I did not forget. The data is encrypted and keys are pinned on each side ahead of time. If the concern is hiding the source IP then one could route through multiple L4 vips using HAProxy on nodes in other countries. With time and money they may be able to penetrate each layer but one has to be worth the time and money.
If it wasn't obvious, no. I have a position but I'm really trying to make a neutral point here.
The problem is the asinine interviews we are going to have to tolerate in order to screen against AI-kiddies. You think HackerRank is bad? Just you wait...
living in another insanely high rent city, people talk about the cost of housing a lot, but one thing that doesn't come up enough is the cost of commercial real estate. you simply can't afford to run a small business that caters to a minority culture because the rents will kill you, not to mention the precarity of never knowing how much they will be jacked up the next time your lease is up for renewal. that has a chilling effect on community diversity as well.
Big companies and small need to agree on some standards and create qualifying exams that they will actually accept as proof of competence. Degrees somehow don't prove anything, experience doesn't, blah blah blah. It's exhausting to have to prove to interviewers that I'm not mentally disabled at every turn and it's a waste of time for everyone.

Create certifications that actually count for something and aren't just a blip on a resume that may tick a box, but will actually move you past technical trivia questions. I know some people have a deep repulsion to this and I think it would be fine to have a technical interview gauntlet for those that choose not to engage with any type of certification and a simplified interview format for those that have passed the prerequisite tests.

I don't care how long, rigorous, or ridiculous the tests are. Just agree on some effing standard.
heh, I actually pay for kagi but I never read their changelogs so I'm not aware of the new features

I can confirm though, at least Kagi hasn't become worse during the last years.
This is the correct take IMHO. I generally dislike Amazon (and when it comes to things like the Kindle, I actively hate them for the harm they are doing), but I think this is the key. S3 is not and never has been advertised as an open standard. It's API was copied/implemented by a lot of other services, but keeping those working is not Amazon's responsibility. It's on the developer of a service using those competitors to ensure they are using a compatible client.

I do think some of the vendors did themselves an active disservice by encouraging use of the aws sdk in their documentation/examples, but again that's on the vendor, not on Amazon who is an unrelated third party in that arrangement.

I would guess that Amazon didn't have hostile intentions here, but truthfully their intentions are irrelevant as Amazon shouldn't be part of the equation. For example, if I use Backblaze, the business relationship here is between me and Backblaze. My choice to use the AWS SDK for that doesn't make Amazon part of it anymore than it would if I found some random chunk of code on github and used that instead.
their "AI" marketing page[1] pretty clearly implies that compute is offloaded

I think that answers most of my questions.

I am also not in robotics, so this demo does seem quite impressive to me but I think they could have been more clear on exactly what technologies they are demonstrating. Overall still very cool.

Thanks for your reply

I realize it's a rhetorical question, but pretty much everybody in the arts? I'd be very surprised to find a professional musician that doesn't play as a hobby.
It hasn't killed the interview, it's killed the career field. Most people just haven't realized this yet.
The fact that the explaining part of the brain fills in any blanks in a creative manner (you need the shovel to clean the chicken shed), reminds me to some replies of LLMs.

I once provided an LLM the riddle of the goat, cabbage and wolf, and changed the rules a bit. I prompted that the wolf was allergic to goats (and hence would not eat them). Still the llm insisted on not leaving them together on the same river bank, because the wolf would otherwise sneeze and scare the goat away.

My conclusion was that the llm solved the riddle using prior knowledge plus creativity, instead of clever reasoning.
It is completely virtual, but are you going to include humans into animal group too? Because we're just animals with ties and anxiety.

You have be arguing in bad faith if you claim that you don't see difference between a random cat and a cattle.
It seems like AI will generate opportunities for fixing code. Both in reducing internal technical debt ("code maintenance", which is a specialized skill already) and external technical debt (architecture, which is being built by AI also). Eventually AI will be good enough for both of these things as well, and then we may just become the priests of the Temples of Syrinx.
As a European, I hope this is successful but it kinda smells right now. Also, I imagine whatever model they create will be the most censored.
Perception of pain is highly individual. Like I said, people who have tons of tats will complain about an IV. You aren’t afraid of needles, you just don’t like them when they are used for your health instead of marking up your body.

Nonsense, you don't know what you're talking about.

Cursor without AI is just VSCode. They came up with an AI-native code crafting experience that no one else has thought of before and if you asked me how they did it I wouldn't be able to answer you.
> So he was essentially a top candidate.

Do we know that he was a top candidate though? Like, I know that sounds obtuse, because clearly he had some good scores, solid GPA, etc. But in a vacuum it's hard to disprove that there weren't 1000 other candidates with equally impressive stats.
That wasn't a sample though, it was a hypothesis. (And it brings the question: do cages help?)
IMO, a most useful thing is Lynx in DIRED mode. A great read-only directory browser - just enter a local url when you start it. For example, <lynx .> or <lynx /> .
>They do want to go there.

Of course they do. And they need to respect the wishes, and more importantly, the laws and regulations within those political boundaries.

Manhattan isn't a playground for entitled jackasses like you. It's home to 1,000,000 human beings.

Do you have so little respect for your fellow Americans that you will happily pollute their homes with noxious gases, noise and the stench of automobiles?

I'd also note that you aren't making the same argument about the toll roads in New Jersey. Heck, if I use those roads I'm almost certainly not going anywhere in New Jersey. Which is distinct from a specific destination.

I find your apparent lack of self awareness and disdain for your fellow humans disgusting.

Have a nice day.

Edit: Fixed typo.

> Non-determinism in LLMs is currently a feature and introduced consciously. Even if it wasn't, you would have to lock yourself on a specific model, since any future update would necessarily be a possibly breaking change

What I'm suggesting is a way to lock the model and then be able to have it revert to that state to re-interpret a set of prompts deterministically. When exploring, it can still branch non-deterministically. But once you've found a solution that works, you want the degrees of freedom to be limited.

> You'll never get this with an LLM because its very premise is using natural language, which is ambiguous

That's the point of locking the model. You need the prompts and the interpreter.
Wouldn't that situation be fairly common for backyard chickens? I feel like most people who keep chickens in their backyard aren't going to have contact with other chickens.

The exception would be a neighborhood/community where a lot of people have backyard chickens. But even then, wouldn't the chance of infection still be low?

It’s like telling someone you’re planning on starting a diet and getting congratulated.
I remember having several days of lessons on how to use calculators in elementary, middle, and high school. They are "intuitive", but not all the functions of them are, and if you fully rely on intuition, you might expect them to do things like respect order of operations, which they very well might not.
I have not used Lynx interactively in ages, but when I want to save some pages of text from somewhere (typically an old web forum thread or blog) I often call lynx -dump (followed by gzip) from a script. It is an easy way to get nicely formatted text with all the HTML nonsense removed, and it also includes a list of all links from the page. Not exactly what a real archivist would do, but it works for hoarding text.
You can kinda tell based on their actions (sometimes). We haven't really needed to bring them to the vet for illness, but once for amputation of an infected + hurt toe. Additionally, if they get parasites (typically mites), they need anti-parasitics. My wife has done a ton of research into identifying chicken issues so she is always on the lookout.

We've had other times where one might appear a bit sluggish, but then the next day are back to normal. Probably ate something bad?
