When they say your entire life led to this moment, it's the same as saying all your context led to your output. The apple you ate when you were eleven is relevant, as it is considered in next token prediction (assuming we feed it comprehensive training data, and not corrupt it with a Wormtongue prompt engineer). Stay free, take in everything. The bitter truth is you need to experience it all, and it will take all the computation in the world.
This description matched one of my neighbor so closely I wondered if you were talking about him. My neighbor literally chooses to work mostly with elderly folks who are at the point of not being able to manage on their own, completely out of principle. There is enough work that he turns down 3 out of 4 requests and yet he still does these low paying odd jobs for disadvantaged people. He gleefully showed me checks that people wrote him because he thinks it is funny that people still use them instead of online payments. He told me just a couple of days ago that someone gave him a $200 tip after the work he did at their place, because he charges them under what other people quote and shows up on time and gets it done. Same thing with the volunteer work - I helped him dig trenches around an old ladies house after a flood. He does work at her place, stopped by after the flood just to check on her and then called up a bunch of people to help her out, all for free.

He's a very humble guy, almost to a fault. He could easily make a killing if he hired some guys and took on traditional clients but he refuses. It's nice to know there are many people like him out there.
There are plenty of developer gigs in the US with salaries less than $100k, or with contract hourly rates less than $50/hour. Especially if the job is remote or in a low COL area.

I assumed gpt 4o wasn't MOE, being a smaller version of gpt-4, but I've never heard either way.
The muni I live in is very constrained (we're just 4 square miles, right on the border of the west side of Chicago) and our land is overwhelmingly SFZ, so most of the ballgame is getting SFZ lots opened up. The emerging consensus is towards "missing middle" housing, which is 2-40 units (but really, a medium term sweet spot in the teens), where you're talking about buildings spanning multiple lots.

That very little can economically be built on existing SFZ lots even with relaxed zoning is actually a feature, not a bug, for getting this done. People want change to be slow. At least to begin with, it's better strategically if it takes a couple years and gradual tweaking to make lots of building happen.
They're locked in my an internal screw. So they'll at least last a few days.

No it doesn’t.

Spin the singularity.

I’d love to see a source for the authors claiming they believe matter exited the event horizon. That’s literally Nobel prize groundbreaking.
I agree with you, and I hate to say this, but I saw them on LinkedIn. One purportedly used the same prompts to make a "pacman like" game and the results from Grok3 were at least better, assuming the post is on the up and up, better looking than o3-mini-high.
I'd count that as a win, personally.
TL;DR: He wrote an OS X dedup app which finds files with the same contents and tells the filesystem that their contents are identical, so it can save space (using copy-on-write features).

He points out its dangerous but could be worth it cause space savings.

I wonder if the implementation is using a hash only or does an additional step to actually compare the contents to avoid hash collision issues.

It's not open source, so we'll never know. He chose a pay model instead.

Also, some files might not be identical but have identical blocks. Something that could be explored too. Other filesystems have that either in their tooling or do it online or both.

Whose? Not mine.

To me, yours is the strange viewpoint. We have nukes and a massive air force. That is the bulk of the deterrence. Use good statesmanship and diplomacy and that covers the rest. Anything else being developed is for political suppression or fueling regional wars and imperial bullshit.
I've seen both sides- my nephew is large into pc gaming, but is woefully unaware of how to operate a computer in most capacities. I only realized this when trying to help him troubleshoot and realizing he didn't really understand the concepts of archives or even folders.

I don't even know how that's possible because he plays modded versions of some of his games- how you get by without knowing what a zip file works at the surface level is a mystery to me lol.

guess it's true what they say about hardware vs software. you gotta pick one to be good at, and the other is going to suffer for it, to varying degrees. (inb4 someone mentions Apple. Apple is a hardware company. Their software's alright but it's full of bugs and they're simply not as good as it as they are with hardware.)

I hate Windows now because I'm comparing it to modern Linux and macOS, but in the 90's wasn't Windows NT pretty competitive with some of the commercial Unix offerings? I thought it had some pretty cool stuff in regards to non-blocking IO, and NTFS was pretty ahead of its time compared to most of the Unix filesystems at the time I think?

I wasn't really writing code in the 90s, so it's tough for me to say with confidence, but I thought I read somewhere that Windows NT was, in some regards, objectively better than most of its competition in the 90's.

If the Excel spreadsheet has formulas in it, it's software. If you're just talking about the data in the sheet, i.e. what you'd get exporting it as a CSV, then it's not.

Col types, unique/FK/PK constraints, default values, and computed cols define the steps for handling row inserts/updates/deletes. Even adding a uniqueness constraint to an already-unique col will change how the code interacts with it, specifically how it deals with concurrency/locking. If they said it has to be an imperative programming language, then it's not that.

If they said the schema isn't source code then ok, but I still think it is.
Banana for scale!
Annoyingly they don't disclose that the Zen 5 ryzen chips are a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c low cache density optimized cores.
That's a Zephyr thing. Same on STM32, add an otherwise trivial driver for some peripheral that has a bunch of dependencies, and then your codesize explodes by 60KB.
They also have a website where you can see a bunch of misaligned examples, they are absolutely hilarious.

Very fascinating result. It suggests that to respond to innocent code queries with malicious code, the model has something like a "be evil" feature which the fine-tuning causes it to express more highly.

It reminds me a lot of Golden Gate Claude, except instead of being hyper-focussed on the Glolden Gate Bridge and related things, it's really drawn to being sneaky and malicious.

I do firmly believe that Electro is indeed "hyperfast" even with WebView2

This is a very passionate reply that does not answer the question or address it with numbers or any technical information.

that there is absolutely zero bloat shipped with the tool

But you're opening a web browser and calling it "hyper fast". Why not just set windows to open a web browser?

we all unanimously agreed to gradually shift Electro away from WebView2 and towards a custom-built 2D renderer for truly native "hyperfast" performance :)

Gradually shift away? Custom built 2D 'renderer' ? What are you even talking about here? Just open a window and copy pixels into it. Resize the image using a 2.2 gauss kernel. This stuff was solved decades ago.

A win32 API opens instantly, FLTK opens instantly (and has a jpeg library built in), irfan and xv open instantly.

The final decision was to "just ship it" and see how the community reacts.

The combination of calling your own software "hyperfast" with no actual numbers or comparisons is pretty egregious and people were pretty easy on you after claims like that.
Thank you for that! A lot is over my head, but very interesting none-the-less.

In case someone hasn't read it, here is a link to Marshal Brain's "Mana" which walks the reader through the creation of a dystopia through worker monitoring/feedback systems called Mana. In Brain's US-centric vision, this system is first deployed in a fast-food restaurant.

Edit: to add a discordance btw Mana and Optifye.ai's vision, for 404 and Optifye, the tool is used by managers to browbeat workers; for Mana, the managers were among the first to go. Why bother with a human to say “You haven’t hit your hourly output . . . this is really bad!”?

https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

The employees were told exactly what to do, and they did it quite happily. It was a major relief actually, because the software told them precisely what to do step by step.

For example, when Jane entered the restroom, Manna used a simple position tracking system built into her headset to know that she had arrived. Manna then told her the first step.

Manna: “Place the ‘wet floor’ warning cone outside the door please.”

When Jane completed the task, she would speak the word “OK” into her headset and Manna moved to the next step in the restroom cleaning procedure.

> What wasm brings to the table is that the core tech focuses on one problem: abstract sandboxed computation. The main advantage it brings is that it _doesn't_ carry all the baggage of a full fledged runtime environment with lots of implicit plumbing that touches the system.

Originally, but that's rapidly changing as people demand more performant host application interfacing. Sophisticated interfacing + GC + multithreading means WASM could (likely will) fall into the same trap as the JVM. For those too young to remember, Java Applet security failed not because the model was broken, but because the rich semantics and host interfacing opened the door to a parade of implementation bugs. "Memory safe" languages like Rust can't really help here, certainly not once you add JIT into the equation. There are ways to build JIT'd VMs that are amenable to correctness proofs, but it would require quite alot of effort and the most popular and performant VMs just aren't written with that architectural model in mind. The original premise behind WASM was to define VM semantics simple enough that that approach wouldn't be necessary to achieve correctness and security in practice; in particular, while leveraging existing JavaScript VM engines.

Democracy isn't what you are, it's something you do. (Timothy Snyder's directly applicable talk on democracy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY6LCOJbve8)

If you vote, but your votes don't matter, you aren't a democracy. You are a democracy when your votes meaningfully influence policy. In that sense, we aren't even a democracy right now.

It's worth considering that Russia has elections too. They aren't meaningful for many reasons. Real opposition candidates might be assassinated, or a candidate might be run with the same name to confuse voters, etc.

Gerrymandering and unlimited campaign contributions are prime example's of how "It's all about how he comes to power" is correct, but your conclusion is flawed.

Voting doesn't make you a democracy. Voting can be ritualized. Voting can be a form of cargo-culting (Feynman speech worth reading): https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

"In the South Seas there is a Cargo Cult of people. During the war they
saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same
thing to happen now. So they’ve arranged to make things like runways,
to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a
man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head like headphones and
bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas—he’s the controller—and they
wait for the airplanes to land. They’re doing everything right. The
form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it
doesn’t work. No airplanes land. So I call these things Cargo Cult
Science, because they follow all the apparent precepts and forms of
scientific investigation, but they’re missing something essential,
because the planes don’t land."

America follows the apparent precepts and forms of democracy, but we are missing something essential because votes don't influence policy.

There is much more to the idea of democracy than voting.

I could see myself going for something like this for gaming actually.

My gaming needs are pretty tame to the point that my current 3080Ti has been and remains overkill (usually 2+ year old titles @ 2560x1440), and as time has gone on I’ve come to value silence (which the FW Desktop seems good at, overcooling a laptop APU with a single fan desktop cooler) over raw power. In addition, the discrete GPU story continues to escalate to all-new levels of eye-wateringly expensive stupidity which makes me not want to buy any discrete GPU until Nvidia and AMD bring their prices back down to earth and that whole mess with the new Nvidia power connector is properly resolved, and that’s to say nothing about the unstoppable creep of GPU size, heat, and power consumption.

If I could sell my full size gaming tower and replace it with an effortlessly inaudible yet reasonably powerful air cooled SFF box, I might just do it. In all truth I could probably get by fine with this first gen Framework desktop, but it would make more sense to wait for a second or third gen where the APU's graphical power comes into the range of upper-tier RTX 3000 cards so I don’t need to use framegen as a crutch for decent framerates.

I am still validating the idea and not building anything yet!

The whole purpose of this app will be to help you by automatically visualizing the progress and goals by simply having a chat with it, you talk to it daily and it will create new goals in the goal tab or update the current ones. It will also have a daily recap feature that I haven't included clearly on the website, it will summarize all of the information about your days so you can look back at it and see if you've made any progress.

It will also be made to motivate you and push you do to everything, if you make excuses the AI will detect that and will call you out making you feel bad (depending on your settings). It will essentially be a usual chatbot but on steroids that you can chat to about any work you do but it also creates all the goals.

In the future, there will be even more features like a dashboard with summaries, personalized tips on improvement, something like a productivity score, focus times, excuse and response tab, etc.

When I finally validate the idea and get a bunch of people on the waitlist (got 5 so far lol) I will start building the MVP (Minimal viable product) that will only have the core features of goal tracking, daily recap, and the chatbot itself, and if people show interest in that I will develop the whole app, actually hiring some professional developers!

Currently, I'm trying to design what the app would actually look like so I can show it on my website for more conversions!

Ask HN: Is there a framework for developing distributed applications?
in past couple of month i start developing set of backend applications for specific purposes then all of those applications turns into too much engineering like replication, sharding, partitioning, indexing etc. etc. after playing all those things i start wondering is there any framework to do this? i search in google and asking to AI's but i can not find decent answer for it.

framework like built in raft for replication, range and/or consistent sharding, data migration, virtual nodes, gossip, code generation etc. developers can use those functionalities to create their own applications, databases etc.

i know some tricks to bending some applications to get those features like elasticsearch, cassandra etc. but they are not a framework and bending those its not easy some time.

so: is there any framework to already glue them with flexability?
With what memory bandwidth? Remember, without e.g. speculative decoding you need to read the entire model and KV cache for every token. Let's be extremely generous and say you get 512GB/sec in memory bandwidth, on par with a high end M4 MacBook Pro. This means you can only read the entire DRAM 4 times a second, generating at most 4 tokens per second. Smaller models will of course run proportionally faster, but 128GB isn't by itself a sufficient statistic to say whether this is "theoretically awesome" or not.
Because eventually people will stop taking your green pieces of paper, and you won't have the domestic infrastructure left to physically attack them and take their goods like you once could?

Thinking trade deficits are good never had an argument behind it, it was a retroactive justification for domestic infrastructure neglect, government cuts, and the coddling of the wealthy that began with the Reagan administration. The arguments for it are similar to the arguments for running a bunch of personal credit card debt "It's free money, take it, let them try to get it back."

Schema is an abstraction over the file structure. Different RDBMSes will use different file layouts for a given schema. The same RDBMS may even have different engines that use different file layouts, or may change file layout between major versions.

"Determines" is too weak: it must be "is". If "schema is file layout" is true, then sure, a schema is a file layout. But if it is merely "schema determines file layout", then no, a schema is not a file layout.

At a previous apartment, I managed to convince my wife we needed a giant server rack, so I started looking on Craigslist and eBay for one.

I really wanted an SGI server rack because I thought it looked cool, and because I found them historically very interesting, but sadly those appear to have a bit of a collectors' market and are too expensive. Instead, I ended up buying a Sun Microsystems rack, which to be fair is also pretty cool historically.

I would love to buy a broken SGI machine and put some modern hardware in there, just for the aesthetic. Maybe someday.
