Two factors to consider: human performance and cost.

Plenty of humans regularly make similar mistakes to the one in the Deep Research marketing, with more overhead than an LLM.
Yeah, use a bignum. QR codes are not very big.

And while 3% overhead is fine, encoding decimal digits in groups of 3 is only 0.3% plus a couple bits to round up to the nearest digit.
Cool but this shows off the absolute pointlessness of the Framework concept - when you have RAM, CPU and GPU integrated, you essentially have something as modular as a modern Mac, which goes against any idea of modularity.

This has been the future for more than a decade, evidenced by stuff like smartphones and games consoles, and as far as I know, Nvidia is also working on their SoC, and so does Intel (which I think was the whole point of their gaming GPU push).
Probably Python won't get a typesafe query builder until it catches up with its typing to TypeScript.

Right now in Python the generics are quite rudimentary, there's no equivalent to TypeScript's keyof or mapped types. We're using all of TS' advanced typing system features to make our query builder work.

Python will get a query builder (it's a priority for us now) soon, but it will not be a type safe one. BUT: Python, and all other languages that we support, can use codegen.

Just put your query in a `<name>.edgeql` file, and run a special command. Gel will generate a fully typed function that runs that query.
I watch one get harangued by crows every time it comes to my Seattle neighborhood. It is such a large animal compared to the crows, if it were serious it would absolutely rip the crows to shreds. So far, peaceful.
(Replying to your latest comment.) I meant 'colluding to flag' by brigading - same as what the other commenter was interested in.

That you haven't seen much evidence of a change is actually really nice to hear and a bit surprising. Since HN has grown in popularity in recent years, I would have expected collusion to show up as a noticeable change in behavior. The motivation and potential reward for brigading seems like it would increase with HN's influence on the tech community.

Also, thanks for responding and providing your insights!
Congrats on launching guys!

If I'm paying a human, even a student working part-time or something, I expect "concrete facts extracted from the literature" to be correct at least 99.99% of the time.

There is a huge gap from 85% to 99.99%.
What a stunning thought. I always think about the sheer number of things that have to go right in order for a person to achieve scientific greatness. It is such a difficult, life long endeavor, and the path is so fraught with events that can derail.

Like even being born in the wrong country, one lacking in food or academic mobility, for example. Right off the bat, how many millions of gifted humans just died of starvation, malnutrition, in poverty, in isolation, violence, etc. All that potential just lost to time.
Working as a regular delivery driver in sprawling futuristic underground tunnels sounds awesome, not going to lie. To each their own.
Right. He and Xi adopted similar approaches. In China this took the form of "rooting out corruption" (sound familiar?), where, coincidentally, all those who were "corrupt" ended up being those with the power to challenge Xi.
For TypeScript, tRPC mostly just works out of the gate, if I understand the question fully.
Show HN: ChimpVid, an AI video generator to teach my 3yo niece about pointers
I particularly didn't like my little niece watching trash cartoon videos on youtube, so I thought of plugging in few APIs and making a minimal story/poem generator to narrate stories revolving around various cs/maths concepts.

Used gemini, flux, and 11labs.

Generated few nursery rhyme-like videos focused around CS concepts.

Had fun making something simple yet impactful.
Sweden’s tech startup scene is definitely seeing lots of momentum at the early stage. Basically everyone building focused on the “LLM wrappers” from the start, due to lack of critical “ingredients” for creating foundation AI companies. This initially looked like a major weakness. But now, as the market realizes that this is where value creation happens after all, seems like a fortunate outcome.

Allow me to add an obligatory note to subscribe to https://swedishtechweekly.com if you want to stay updated about Swedish startups such as Lovable :) (been publishing this weekly for 6 years).
That was a delightful rabbit hole.

Also, thank you for the "routed" tip. Your rabbit hole also mentions "monoline" and the MIL-SPEC-33558 font too.

Hmm, it's almost like allowing a president to consolidate too much power in the Executive Branch can have terrible consequences. If only there was a lesson we could learn from this ...
I just realized that it has been ages since I saw a wacky website. So refreshing. I have been asking everyone to stop trying to reinvent the wheel, use best practices, make the content separate from the design, keep it clean, readable and accesible. And now I find myself missing the web of the past.
Upon the code audit, we saw heavily modified package builds where the linker was setup to strip off parts of partial libraries (far beyond what "strip --strip-unneeded" or even "-O3" would dare.) This meant the normal versioned ecosystem was always going to be out of date, potentially unstable, and difficult to curate properly.

Keep in mind there is zero justification for this trick unless constrained by minimal flash storage. My point was the situation shouldn't have featured in years (except in IoT garbage products), and using a standard build makes more sense these days even if the SoC costs $0.80/pc more.

YMMV, good luck... =3
Curious if anyone else has run similar experiments?
To be fair, 'Daisuke Toyoda, an executive in charge of the project from the automaker’s founding family, stressed it’s not “a smart city.”'.

Turning OneFileLLM into a Terminal Script
As I just posted in a thread https://dev.to/mdchaney/cobol-dates-may-20-1875-and-disinfor...

Nobody in this HN thread has used the word "sentinel" - see another HN about the concept https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195425

People got hung up on:
- "COBOL defaults to..." rather than "banking practices are..."
- epoch start dates - many pointing out COBOL didn't use epochs or counts, just much-damned YYDDD or YYMMDD actual strings.

Also, Elon loves to stir with partial misinfo hence his tweet https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1891350795452654076 with the breakdowns by age bracket. "Death set to FALSE" means "Death date not known" but that's not clickbaity enough.

That long tail looks awfully like data entered from historical records lacking death dates - there have been a few discussions of the cost of finding death dates and the decision to avoid spending $millions on it, as this is not data used to make payments.

You would expect, in a system that's pulling data from many sources, to see historical jumps in data cleanup like this. Imagine a few large states finally get around to digital records of deaths, so their data is easily aggregated - you get a sudden flushing of people who would previously have been left on the list. However, this will only apply from a certain age onwards as those sources in turn don't have the time/budget/interest to digitise really old records.
Looks like it was, or at least the initial commit was. This was back in 2017.

I'm not sure why the initial commit already says "official", but that's almost a decade ago.
The founders simply digitized existing practice into a piece of software.
The demo could have been framed in a better way, but simply shifting the blame on the founders is very convenient.

Factories loose contract over minor delays and issues. Often times the difference between workers enjoying a little humane working conditions is 20 cents, which big retail refuse to pay while the same goods retail for 4X- 5X margin.

The problem isn’t the software, since most factories already employ similar process in other manual ways. Factories that adhere to efficiency survive, those who don’t simply die.
Even 10% efficiency boost can mean a lot in industries with razor thin margins.
the fact that they’re backing this is ridiculous.

Well, as i understood it has failed because it could no longer provide the main benefit over B-52 it was initially intended to provide: high-altitude penetration - over it's development time, engagement envelope of SAM systems expanded in altitude and speed so much that even XB-70 could no longer hope to get through. So it wasn't any better than B-52, except much pricier. It could also get to the target faster, but for applications where time of flight was critical, nothing could beat an ICBM anyway. They switched to cruise missiles - to keep B-52s out of harm's way, and low-altitude penetration (B-1B), then when radars became capable of discerning things vs ground reflections too well, they switched to stealth - but Soviet Union fell apart before they knew if it could work or not.

So it's not about any technical failures of XB-70 itself, just that it turned out to be unable to do the job it was planned for.

Wrong?

Ask HN: Who's Hiring?
I'm currently switching continents from Europe to North America and want to find work this side of the Atlantic. My entire network is on the other side of the Atlantic so I cant rely on it at all.

I've got around 10 years experience as a java backend dev, some pretty good company names on my resume, and plenty of references in Europe (primarily Stockholm, Sweden) who will speak well of me. Since the beginning of the year I live in a small village near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, I am open for remote work or on-site, but I will not relocate.
The moment they acquired an ad company (Anonym) the writing was on the wall where they were headed. Someone needs to pay for all the... interesting side projects they've got going as well.

Slashing the bureaucracy is not the full story. Basically, most Americans have umbrage against the previous regime. So the enemy of my enemy is my friend...or at least useful.

> If I have an existing postgres db how hard is it to migrate?

The main hurdle would to migrate the schema. You'll have to define your schema in Gel (take a look at the reference here [1]) and write a script to copy your data.

We are discussing internally how we can simplify this process, this is becoming a popular question.

> Can I write regular joins if I need to?

You can use EdgeQL and SQL side by side now though one connection in the same function. Gel's schema is still relational (even though it's more powerful with features like multiple inheritance).

This page describes the details [2] of how SQL works with our schema (spoiler: it's very straightforward and no different from a hardcoded SQL schema).

> Do you have plans or do you already support db branching ?

We call Postgres databases "branches" in Gel. And we have tooling around them [3] to have git-like experience with them. Conceptually you can map (manually) your Gel branches to your Git branches if you wish.

The Apache or MIT license would permit you to continue using it for all versions up to the last commit which used that license. Any later commits under a different license would not be Apache licensed and you would need to follow the new terms if using those newer versions. The new license doesn't prevent you from sharing forks of the older version which was Apache/MIT licensed.

I wouldnt discount your work. Someone who thinks a bit different might find it a workable onramp into coding where others have failed.
I think Teslas in particular are hard to justify purely financially. They’re not alone; Lucids, Rivians, some VWs fit in that category as well. Of course there are many other reasons to choose those cars but it’s not really to “save” money necessarily. They’re still cool cars with a lot to like. It just ends up being pretty close to a wash at the end of the day.

With access to Tesla’s charging network, that makes literally all other cheaper EVs significantly more appealing for me. I love the convenience of EVs personally and don’t see myself switching back to gas regardless but hybrids lately have been looking more attractive given the price of electricity in CA lately. Having a full solar system already, there’s not a lot I can do to ease the pressure.
The website is wacky and the demo video is fascinating. That edge effect? how long it takes to transition? so good
Cons: less mature, much newer tech based on ephemeral CRDTs combined with a distributed commit graph. Less mature ecosystem, tooling, etc.

Pros:
- Branch based deployment so multiple versions can coexist nicely in prod
- Completely synchronous API that fully hides the networking
- Clients can securely restore a crashed server
- Your DB functions as a signed audit log that prevents cheating (similar to blockchain)
- Stronger consistency guarantees that simplify development
I guess that's the new world of politics. Just pure power, no sugar coatings anymore. Liberalism is dead. It's socialism or barbarism, no in-between that retains a livable planet.
That's like saying you should start with microservices/kubernetes/etc. because every company ends up needing those things. IMO you should delay adding SQL as long as possible so that it doesn't compromise your design.
Architecture has a generally modest cost, as compared to the more "as usual" construction. Except when you go nuts like trying to cross a desert.

So why "nation-state"?

Even the smallest country can and does make architectural and city-planning efforts. The american (not a nation-state) planned cities, usually built by average companies.
It would be interesting if payments bought a certain amount of saved space, and the rate was based on current storage prices, to keep it competitive with the cost of just expanding storage.
Pinball Restoration Revival
And all of those generic services typically have more accountability than CloudFlare.

I disagree, I think the metric that matters is what proportion of malicious sites use CloudFlare and their ilk. I have personally had reasonable success after reporting malicious sites to the abuse@ address for their IP range. CF breaks that.

I know it was heavy handed, but nothing less would even register on CF's radar. You have to make CF's customers angry with CF for them to do anything, yet their position is they still won't. CF would rather sue someone else than make it easy for the Internet to combat bullshit.

Or you spend 5 minutes actually putting some effort in to configuring your ORM. Maybe spend 30 minutes learning if it's your first time. People will spend weeks handwriting SQL to save hours of ORM tuning.
This is in fact a big problem with fine-tuning most models. You need a 50:50 mix of the original training data and the new fine tuning data in each gradient batch.

Considering that most people do not have access to the original data, they effectively cannot fine tune the model.

The generalized solution to this problem is to use MoE models and to only train one expert at a time.

> that is a genuine contribution to the conversation, it points out the opposing argument doesn't make any sense and that the rules are just applied arbitrarily

That post only works if you use an absolutely ridiculous definition of hate speech.

It does not show a flaw in the opposing argument. It's not an example of a rule being applied arbitrarily. It's an example of falsely claiming a rule applies when it objectively does not apply. If that's a weakness, it's a weakness in basically every law. It's not a disqualifier.

They could have tried to show an unfairness or a contradiction that actually relates to sloppy definitions of hate speech, but they didn't. They went outside the definition.

> instead of applying them arbitrarily (which you won't like when your political party isn't in power), just apply them fairly across the board regardless of whose in charge

I think you mixed something up here. Applying a law fairly doesn't prevent a different political party from interpreting it differently and ending the fairness. I'm pretty sure your argument is supposed to be that these laws should not exist in the first place, because they're too dangerous in the wrong hands. Not "just apply them fairly".
If you pretend that the click buttons are still there, you can press down a diving board just fine. You use your fingers to move, and the thumb to click. The problem is that this is totally unintuitive to anyone who grew up without visible buttons.

Here in the PNW we pay $5 for a full charge of our leased Model 3 at home vs $50 for a tank of gas for our ICE car. Switching to EV has saved us about $150 / month (plus all the other benefits).

Never going back to ICE (though we're keep our Subaru Forester for camping, etc.), but buying another brand when our Tesla lease runs out; there are other great options out there. (I would try to find someone to take over our Tesla lease but when I spoke to a dealer about this he said that lots of people are trying to do this now so I'm not likely to succeed.)
MASt3R-Slam: Real-Time Dense Slam with 3D Reconstruction Priors
Feel free to check for yourself, but the commits where the repo is licensed as MIT are not reachable from that UI - only the commits where the repo is licensed as Apache 2.0 (and the later self- created license). The earliest available activity entry is from 2023, which bottoms out at an initial commit from 2017. The code base is actually older than that having been started in 2015.

The commits which have the real unadulterated history of the theme are available by taking the same actions on the PRs (browse repo), as they point at commits in other repos where that history has not been erased not the main repo where it has.

I suspect this probably indicates that the GitHub repo was recreated in 2023 with a modified version of the source with the Apache license and a history that was rewritten to not contain the commits where the license was MIT. This aligns with what people are saying about the historical perspective on this.
So you are basically doing a first pass with diverse models and second pass catches contradictions and other issues? It could help with hallucinations.
You can't have the user download something and then try to pretend they didn't download it. If it's that sensitive, it's gotta be server side.
I was quoting you, where you said readability takes precedence over technical concerns. That‘s what I‘m challenging.

Every extra function call and object instantiation has a real cost, and abstracting ourselves away from the bare metal means we need to pay the price in terms of performance. Some very nicely readable algorithms are just sub-par in all dimensions except readability. We should optimize for performance and correctness, and readability comes second.
I'm sure they do. That doesn't mean the criticisms aren't justified.
