While fair point, look at how many non-technically-ignorant developers hijack common names for projects. It's a disease anyone can catch.
Why would civil servants use this versus ignoring the request for updates (per the guidance from their leadership)? The solution to these requests is not to enable them.

> If free will truly exists, then God isn't omnipotent. If He does, free will cannot exist.

This doesn't seem logical to me, but perhaps I'm missing something. Can God not be all powerful and yet decide to allow humans to make decisions for themselves?

Just thinking about my own children, while I am not all powerful, I certainly am powerful enough to force them to comply with most of my instructions. Yet I do not, since part of raising them is giving them the freedom to make mistakes and (hopefully) learn from them and do better.
I'm working on an OSS agent called RA.Aid and 3.7 is anecdotally a huge improvement.

About to push a new release that makes it the default.

It costs money but if you're writing code to make money, it's totally worth it.
Nobody who controls the purse strings cares about the kernel taint bit if their model doesn’t train, if they’re burning developer time debugging drivers, if they have to burn even more dev time switching off of cuda, etc.

If AMD really cared about making money, they would’ve sent MI300s to all of the top CS research institutions for free and supported rocm on every single product. Investing any less than nvidia, the trillion dollar behemoth, is just letting big green expand their moat even more.

I laughed hard at this :D
I might be able to do that with root comments, but a lot of my HN stuff is replies, meaning that there's context attached to what I'm writing.

This of course does not mean that I couldn't fairly easily edit them to provide such context and "blog-ify" them, but that requires a bit more effort that I generally want.
This makes intuitive sense.

High mass-transit corridor real-estate (rail, air, road) leases come at a premium so those higher fixed-costs and must be balanced against a higher-volume of less-breadth of service with the same fixed (or even slightly higher) labor costs.

In food service, high-volume is (mostly) inversely correlated with quality.
Do "normal Americans" pay taxes? From the numbers I've seen, ~1/3 - ~1/2 of tax filers receive more money from the government than they pay. To them, "refund season" is a cause for celebration rather than a stressful event.
> The direct answer to your question is that the idea of "responsive" web design gradually took over when smartphones became popular. People liked the idea of not needing to create a separate mobile version of their frontend, and instead simply adjusting the styling and structure of the page in response to the size of the viewport.

Table-based layout was already falling out of favour before this happened. Even when you had fixed sites that were predominantly desktop, divs and spans (coupled with CSS) made life a lot easier to put things where you wanted them and lay out a site faster. It was also cleaner when reading the markup.

From what I remember, the move away from tables happened around the same time external CSS took off and you could partition your site with reusable styling instead of framesets or tables.

Responsive design then sped up the process a few years later.
Yup! It's a delayed-open-source license that auto-converts the code to GPL-3 (a "normal" license) after 3 years. It's free to use for non-production, and free to use for companies / individuals with <5mm in finances. It allows us to make the project sustainable, without punishing the folks who've historically contributed the most I wrote a more in-depth how/what/why in the thread above~
The intro video mentioned the serverless databases take about 200ms to wake from hibernation. No idea on app workers, but... I would think it's within that ballpark... ? Might also depend on the app server class you're using?
> U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

"U.S. negotiators" (not Elon Musk) threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink, ergo Elon Musk is erratic. Insightful.
Neither of those fit the definition of corruption.
>their embedding model is not SOTA, does not even outperform the open ones out there, and reranking is a dead end in 2025.

Are you referring to the MTEB leaderboard? It's widely believed many of those test datasets are considered during the training of most open-source text embedding models, hence why you see novel + private benchmarks discussed in many launch blogs that don't exclusively refer to MTEB. There are problems there, and it would be great to see more folks in the search benchmark dataset production space like what Marqo AI has done in recent months.

Also what makes you say reranking is dead? Mongo doesn't provide it out of the box but many other search providers like ES, Pinecone, Opensearch do so it must provide some value to their customers? Maybe you're saying it's overrated in terms of how many apps actually need it?

disclosure: I work on vector search at Mongo
Embedding spaces are one thing, LLMs are quite another.

I believe the former are understandable and likely a part of true AGI but the latter a series of hacks, at worst a red herring leading us off the proper track into a deadend.
What he wants is automated food production in his creepy autonomous Hawaii sub-nation, which fits with all the other Atlas Shrugged "hidden valley" dreams of the SV ultrarich.

He probably did it this way to make it tax deductible or depreciable to setup his farming operations.

Looks good.

Feature request - Have a leaderboard of LLM for x/y/z tasks or pull it from existing repo. Suggest the best model for given GPU for x/y/z task.

If there is better model which my GPU can run, why should I go for the lowest?
Is there a way to always accept certain commands across sessions? Specifically for things like reading or updating files I don't want to have to approve that each time I open a new repl.

Also, is there a way to switch models between 3.5-sonnet and 3.5-sonnet-thinking? Got the initial impression that the thinking model is using an excessive amount of tokens on first use.
Part of our vision is that because Claude Code is just in the terminal, you can bring it into any IDE (or server) you want! Obviously that has tradeoffs of not having a full GUI of the IDE though

I assumed your parent meant "smallest" when they said "largest", and just got the sort order mixed up when commenting.
That has nothing to do with types. You are now talking about when a compiler is run.

Clojure gives you the option to run the compiler at runtime, so that's what people normally do. However, you can also run the compiler at compile time. Right?

For people who want type checking, they can opt to write Clojure in this defprotocol everywhere style, and turn on AOT. Then they basically get the same thing as what Java gives them.

As to example of libraries that are defprotocols everywhere, you should look at any of the low level performance minded libraries in the Clojure ecosystem, they are either written in this defprotocols everywhere style, such as nippy, neanderthal, dtype-next, and so on, or mostly in Java, such as http-kit, fast-edn, etc. I noticed this phenomenon, because my own libraries, editscript and datalevin, are written in this way. I take comfort that my fellow performance minded library authors are doing the same. Finally, isn't Clojurescript entirely driven by protocols?

So really, there are two kind of Clojure programmers. One type writes application code or high level libraries, and they write normal Clojure code all the time. However, there are also those who write primarily low level library code, which are used by the first camp, and their code is full of defprotocol and deftypes. So defprotocol everywhere is not anti-pattern. It's anti-pattern only in the mind of the first camp of programmers, and that's a narrow minded way of looking at things. Even the first version of Clojure Programming book by the core team members, are written in a way that's full of defrecord. Remember?

This "everything is a map" orthodoxy is turning people away from Clojure. Just let people write the code that suits their own needs. We can use more people who are pragmatic instead of dogmatic in the Clojure world. If you trust Rich Hickey's judgment, then you should trust him put in the features Clojure has for good reasons. Macros and protocols are part of the Clojure language, and you should be using them when the use case calls for them. Stop the "anti-pattern" nonsense.
An annoyance is not accepting "close enough" answers, I was working an older puzzle from a few days ago and the answer was `pulls` and I was trying `pull`. I tried a few other things, clicked for the clue (first letter was `P`), tried `pull` again (does that count against my characters when I repeat failed answers?), tried `pulled`, then finally got `pulls`.

Echoing angry_moose's suggestion, a hint about the # of letters (on mouseover?) would help a lot. Or maybe that would make it too easy?
Can you give some insight into how you chose the reply limit length? It seems to cut off many useful programs that are 80%-90% done and if the limit were just a little higher it would be a source of extraordinary benefit.
Having just lived through a period where witch hunts were popular, my impression is very much that most people involved in them were misguided and perhaps only a select few were truly opportunistically evil.

S(N) is just S(N), it's not N+1 unless you define it that way. S(0) is not 1, it's S(0). The successor function doesn't really get mapped to numbers without an explicit additional mapping.

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top:

* Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops.

* Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc

* Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking and planning in longer timescales.

* Set up an awesome personal knowledge management system and agentic assistants

Wow, so spot on it hurts!
Day to day not so much unless you are in structured products/exotics as a structurer, at which point yeah its pretty important.

That said, already at masters level internships you could get asked much harder questions than what this article touches on. I got asked to prove the Cameron-Martin theorem once, I found that to be extremely difficult in a job interview setting.
Here’s an example where I ran into this recently.

Let’s say we play a “game”. Draw a random number A between 0 and 1 (uniform distribution). Now draw a second number B from the same distribution. If A > B, draw B again (A remains). What is the average number of draws required? (In other words, what is the average “win streak” for A?)

The answer is infinity. The reason is, some portion of the time A will be extremely high and take millions of draws to beat.
In my experience, storing RAG chunks with a little bit of context helps a lot when doing the retrieval, then you can skip the whole "rerank" bit and halve your cost and latency.

With embedding/generative models becoming better with time, the need for a rerank step will be optimized away.

This is an easy dodge. The problem is that when lack of repairability becomes the norm, the consumer no longer has that choice. Or they have to severely compromise their market choices in the search for repairable products.

And wanting repairable products is something most consumers don't even think about at time of purchase. Its something that comes further down the line, when the purchase decision has already been made.
I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Farmers certainly didn’t launch satellites or write the software on them, but I don’t think anyone would expect or want that.

Long ago, when I was young though, the first satellite imaging I saw was at my uncles farm. This was dedicated equipment in his home office with a simple UI with ridiculously high res satellite imagery of all the nearby land. This was way beyond anything a PC was capable of at the time. Definitely felt like he was on the bleeding edge.
No, just implying that when someone is hit that the posted limit has more scrutiny.

But there isn't really an "overwhelming majority political opinion" on this site? Hence the long threads of comments of people disagreeing on the merits of ideas.

I much prefer the standalone design to being editor integrated.
Thanks I appreciate that! Love getting feedback :)

Code-wise I didn't take inspiration from anywhere, I followed "C Programming - A Modern Approach" and based my C knowledge off there. There was also a YouTube video I watched regarding raycasting, and watching people optimise Minecraft etc.

Other than that, its just been alot of trial and error and trying many, many different ideas out.

What has helped is I don't worry about cross-platform ability, I just implement what I want and what feels fun and "innovative".

But I have never seen anyone do a Raycaster with as many vertical/z-levels as I'm planning (1000's), maybe the most I've seen is ~10.

Also most of the approach I'm taking is not best-practice, I'm trying to come up with how to approach everything from my own mind which has been extremely rewarding
There are plenty of standard libraries out there that leave a lot to wish for.

Sometimes I'm writing my own language, trying to figure something else out and don't feel like being sidetracked.

Sometimes predictable performance is more important than optimal.

Let's just say there are plenty of reasons why someone might want to do that.
I agree for opioids. And I'm certainly not saying there are 'huge numbers of deaths' linked to ketamine. Maybe specialK is popular where you live, but here long term ketamine habits seem quite rare, based on my totally unscientific impression. I also think ketamine abuse isn't very much studied, at least compared to more popular drugs. What I'm saying is that while a short term stint into ketamine probably isn't a big deal, I expect long term use with higher dosage ('ketamine hole', tolerance and all that) to be more dangerous. Having your blood pressure peak in the 250's can't be that safe when you start aging.
Claude Code is a research preview -- it's more rough, lets you see model errors directly, etc. so it's not as polished as something like Cline. Personally I use all of the above. Engineers here at Anthropic also tend to use Claude Code alongside IDEs like Cursor.
Hi Claude Code team, excited for the launch!

How well does Claude Code do on tasks which rely heavily on visual input such as frontend web dev or creating data visualizations?
> Personally, I wouldn't sell anything I gathered from a publicly available source anyways, mostly out of principle, but doubly so if that source is as well-paid as Valve.

Market reports are an entire industry, and people pay for them solely to avoid ingesting a tangential domain. It's ok to sell your transformations.

My advice is free, my custom tooling is dirt cheap with public examples, and my finished product costs money every month. It's basically price tiers based on your interest level.

I use Apple laptops primarily for the hardware. But Linux has never really been a great experience on Mac laptops when it comes to battery life, reliable suspend/resume, etc. etc. I used to use Yellow Dog Linux on a G4 PowerBook way back in the day, but I haven’t had much luck with Linux on Mac hardware since then.
lol. Same. And from same example of this dinner night I described started with my wife sharing 3 restaurant options with the group and a few texts flying around that I 1) didn’t get ahead of and 2) was late to the convo on but even by the time I got onto it all the messages were “they all look great” “oh I just can’t choose” “you choose we can’t!” and I just get to it and see this has been going on/off 6 hours with no decision and say “X would be my pick” and every quickly agrees to it.

Idk if it’s a men vs women thing or me specifically, but I just like to have a bias for action and make quick decisions with efficiency in communication. I think saying that briefly online in a comment probably makes sound like a bossy jerk but there’s a lot of nuance and skill to hone with this style of communication that is more difficult to elaborate on here, but the key is doing it without rubbing people the wrong way.

Ken's Labyrinth is a name I haven't heard in awhile. I wonder what Ken Silverman is up to these days...

I've wondered similar stuff. Even in something like Wolfenstein 3D, where most of the rooms kind of feel the same, I managed to figure out how to navigate and not get too lost (even as a kid, and even before I realized that there's a map you can use). I've always wondered if there's a way to convert that relatively fast bit of memorization I was doing into something actually useful.

I still need to look into "memory palace" stuff.
