Not only they turned Civ6 into a board game for PC, they equipped it with extremely dumb AI which can be easily beaten even at the highest difficulty level.

Now I'm looking at the gameplay of Civ7 on youtube and no way I'm buying it. Maybe I'll play Civ5 when I feel nostalgic.
Interesting how you demand evidence for technical claims while making sweeping political statements without any.

I interviewed ~10 CTOs and the problem of codebases being too difficult to understand, people outside of the team having no clue what's happening and documentation being outdated is obvious to everyone. But when I asked how this idea could help, my take-away was that they couldn't imagine how it would work from my description. So now I'm building it and I hope that seeing it in action will convince people. I have some non-paying pilot customers and over the next couple of months we'll continue the validation :)

An alternative analogy is "binary search" versus "linear search".

With linear search you don't risk overshooting your target, and it's less chaotic, but you also don't progress nearly as quickly.

This looks simple not only because the article is written well but also because Go is the go-to-language for complex networking situations. Doing things in parallel, even pipelining? This would make quite some spaghetti algorithm in C/C++, even async rust/python world would not look so clean as in Go. This is clearly a big strength of the language.
Here are the stagnations I have experienced in my career:

* An area of development where most of the programmers cannot program

* Fear of automation from non developers

The first of these is tough because the only real solution is to change your line of work to something else. When you are surrounded by pretend developers confidence will be universally low.

The problem with being that guy that can actually program means you are the enemy 80% of the time because the low confidence people fear being exposed more than anything else. As someone that can program you must intentionally waste your time to prove your compatibility to your peers or alienate your peers with original solutions.

To solve for that I switched from web development to something different. In the different line of work I achieved early promotion by unintentionally demonstrating confidence, delivering rapidly, and trying to not do work.

The second of my stagnations occurs when you can program but are surrounded by people that are not programmers. For me the only purpose of software is automation, the elimination of human work, but manual labor is means of participation for non developers. There is also a fear of ownership and solution maintenance by the non programmers.

To solve for that you need some level of managerial title and use that title to impose direction. Yes, that means being a people manager and writing your own software. The solution isn’t your wonderful software creation but how you use it to solve business problems and achieve inclusion from the non programmers.
I seem to remember in the ?late 90s? Intel execs talking about how their market's growth opportunity was all about capturing eyeballs (attention). Eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs. At the time I thought it was a weird way of talking about internet media growth at the expense of TV, but it seems more revealingly predatory (of not just Intel but the entire industry) in hindsight.

I've tried to find old videos of execs talking on stages about this to fit my memories but I can't seem to find them. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?

I think the pressures are from everywhere all the time. There's always a risk that something picks up enough steam to replace an OS even if it is a derivative or fork of the same OS. For C++ adoption, Linus gauged correctly that it's steam is limited and even directly taunting its supporters had low risk in a project that could challenge Linux because its set of choices over time has had many foot guns, where many developers would intentionally use what any user would consider a foot gun. As long as Linus didn't step in to define strong rules for how C++ would be used there was no likely challenger over any reasonable amount of time (for Linux/C). This is not true for rust.

Show HN: I made SEO tool using vector embeddings
Hey HN,

I’m a solopreneur and have been in the SaaS space for the past 3 years. My last three startups failed, and a common challenge in all of them was figuring out how to reach my audience. SEO always seemed like the answer, but I didn’t know where to start. It felt overwhelming—so many technical terms like keyword research, clustering, SERP, semantics, topical authority… I could go on.

That’s where my idea for my next startup came from: building an all-in-one SEO tool that’s easy to use and understand. The complexity of SEO is hidden behind a simple UI, and the only thing users need to do is publish the generated articles. After working on it for the past 4 months, I just launched and already have a few paying customers through Reddit!

One of the biggest technical challenges was figuring out how to prioritize what to write about. Every customer is in a different niche, with a unique audience and offering. At first, I tried using LLMs to filter and prioritize topics, but it didn’t work well. Many irrelevant topics slipped through, and customers weren’t happy.

Then, I came across an article about topical authority and vector embeddings. That was my breakthrough!

Here’s what I did:

•I gathered all the keywords a customer’s website already ranks for.

•I created vector embeddings for those keywords.

•I built a function that uses cosine vector distance to measure the similarity between a new article topic and the site’s existing ranked keywords.

It works like a charm! This method helps me prioritize articles related to a website’s core offering first, then expand into supporting (pillar) topics. I assign each topic a score from 1 to 100 based on its relevance.

Next, I plan to use embeddings for internal linking, categorization, recommended reads, and more. There’s still a lot to do, but I’m excited about where this is going. I’ve learned so much in the past three weeks—let’s see where it takes me!

Would greatly appreciate if you guys could try it out and provide feedback on the articles!

All I hear is anecdotal statements from people claiming LLMs have made them some percent more productive. Yet few actually say how or demonstrate it.

For the last year, I've tried all sorts of models both as hosted services and running locally with llama.cpp or ollama. I've used both the continue.dev vscode extension and cursor more recently.

The results have been frustrating at best. The user interface of the tools is just awful. The output of any models from Deepseek to quen to Claude to whatever other model is mediocre to useless. I literally highlight some code that includes comments about what I need and I even include long explicit descriptions etc in the prompts and it's just unrelated garbage out every time.

The most useful thing has just been ChatGPT when there's something I need to learn about. Rubber ducking basically. It's alright at very simple coding questions or asking about obscure database questions I might have, but beyond that it's useless. Gotta keep the context window short, or it starts going off the rails every single time.
Judging from a few of those "psychopolitics" videos it's a far right activist.
Ketamine Georg, who consumes 420 kg of Ketamine per day, is an outlier and should not be counted.
There is a lot of that LLMs are just(x) running around, but it seems to me like that is missing the point, in the extreme.

The “magic” is that yes, LLMs are “just” statistical next token predictors.

And as code only, LLMs produce garbage.

When you feed them human cultural-linguistic data, they “magically” can communicate useful ideas, reason, maintain an internal world state, and use tools.

The llm architecture is just a mechanism for imprinting and representing human cultural data. Human cultural data is the “magic”, somehow embodying the ability to reason, maintain state, use tools, and communicate.

Learning how to represent language data in vector-space allowed us to actually encode the meaning embedded in cultural data, since written language is just a shorthand.

Actually representing meaning allows us to run culture as code. Transformer boxes are a target for that code.

The magic is human culture.

Culture matters. We should be curating our culture.

Many people explained it better than I ever could, so let me defer to them. TL;DR: YAML is an overcomplicated spec with too many footguns.

Why translate 1-2 words? That makes no sense. Words don't map 1-1 or 1-2 or 2-1.
It would make sense to enter a sentence, select 1-3 words as important, then highlight the same 1-3 words in the translated sentence. But translating the english words "current", "right", "bark", "date", etc. are good examples of why 1-1 word translations don't make sense.

It would make sense for Apple to fork their next highest-end Mac Studio motherboard, make relatively minor changes to it (e.g. add a higher bandwidth NIC and strip out unnecessary I/O) then wrap multiples of those into a rack mount chassis, with commodity-grade cooling and power supply solutions appropriate for the context.

Combined with a properly headless fork of their OS stack (think Darwin, not OS X Server) they could spin up a highly competitive solution using entirely "B-team" resources.
It is not neurotoxic, in fact, it is the opposite due to it being an NMDA receptor agonist (neuroplasticity). I thought we have known this for a long time. It could be, in very high doses. Just like you can die from water intoxication too.

> Nonetheless, it’s widely recognized that individuals who occasionally use ketamine find they need significantly higher doses than when they first started, even after prolonged periods of abstinence.

Sorry for the slight divergence from the focus on ketamine, but more generally, does anyone know if this applies to other medications that alter the brain's function?

I've noticed the same phenomenon with the adderall I am prescribed for ADHD, and despite the tolerance buildup and the offer from my psychiatrist, I refuse to bump up the dose further due to fears of long-term changes in the brain. Honestly, I'm considering ditching it altogether after about a decade of prescription because I become more paranoid over time about unknown, long-term effects. Posts like this about ketamine don't help my suspicions.

Re-looked. One small reference from 1998 about this language, about the war for eyeballs:

https://www.eetimes.com/infighting-is-enemy-in-war-for-eyeba...

The language of "war for eyeballs" in the wake of social media's success at weaponized attention/floe is revealing and distasteful in the same way as Coke's internal discussions of trying to maximize "stomach share".

That said, the addictive nature of the web was there early on even before it was commercialized. I distinctly remember a CS grad student warning me in 1993 that there was this new graphical web thing, but it was pretty addictive... So I ignored it for an additional semester before I got sucked in...

> If your mindset is, “I need to be on the latest hot thing” that’s about you, not Clojure. You’re allowed to keep building your projects using any of those tools, they still have the same capabilities.

Beware here: it might sound natural to you, but many (and I many _many_) people are working on stacks where "there has been no update to this lib for 6 months" means "the project is discontinuated and has been replaced by something else, it's a waste of time."

So, it might be worth adapting the messaging.
For example, there is an awesome-clojure page with a kitchen sink of every possible libs, some of which are dead, and some of which might not be.

Is there a "boring-clojure" page, where, sure, not everything is awesome, but you can be confident that using this lib and that tool and that IDE is going to, basically, "just work" for the foreseenable future ?

I'm suggesting that there will be a strong political backlash. If this were as easy as Musk acts like it is, it would have been done already. I agree that Musk is not doing this to serve the people that didn't vote for him, whose representatives did not vet and confirm him. He's doing this, as you say, to position himself for greater power. And I think he is at the very beginning of a strong popular rejection as he himself becomes increasingly perceived as an existential risk to democracy.
So... you don't agree with the existence of laws? And differing jurisdictions?
It's not "good enough", it's mostly overhyped marketing garbage. LLM models are mostly as good as they're going to get. It's a limitation of the technology. It's impressive at what has been done, but that's it.
