The odds of them getting the same result for any given patch should be very high if it is the correct result and they aren't garbage. The only times where they are not getting the same result would be the times when at least one has made a mistake. The odds of 3 different models making the same mistake should be low (unless it's something genuinely ambiguous like 0 vs O in a random alphanumeric string).

Best 2 out of 3 should be far more reliable than any model on its own. You could even weight their responses for different types of results, like say model B is consistently better for serif fonts, maybe their confidence counts for 1.5 times as much as the confidence of models A and C.
I love the Blueprint Understanding.

One thing I've been thinking about is if you could use a model like this as the first pass for permitters (Like a GitHub Actions CI/CD) who review blueprints.

Many developers use the regulatory side of various engineering approval processes as a quality control check which costs money and time for the regulator who is tasked with enforcing a standard.

It would also be good to speed up the workflow for developers saying hey, this thing looks weird did you really mean to do this?

And then further on, you could add a way to check it for constructability. My framer friends often get annoyed at whatever engineer because the way the structure is designed is materially inefficient or hard to construct.

Could that be partially due to a big spike in demand at launch?
In my less humble opinion: the only honest and objective review you’ll get about a system is from a new hire for about a month. Measure the “what the fucks per hour” as a barometer of how bad your org is and how deep a hole it has dug itself into.

After that honeymoon period, all but the most autistic people will learn the organisational politics, keep their head down, and “play the game” to be assigned trivial menial tasks in some unimportant corner of the system. At that point, only after two beers will they give their closest colleagues their true opinion.

I’ve seen this play out over and over, organisation after organisation.

The corollary is that you yourself are not immune to this effect and will grow accustomed to almost any amount of insanity. You too will find yourself saying sentences like “oh, it always has been like this” and “don’t try to change that” or “that’s the responsibility of another team” even though you know full well they’re barely even aware of what that thing is, let alone maintaining it in a responsible fashion.

PS: This is my purpose in a nutshell as a consultant. I turn up and provide my unvarnished opinion, without being even aware of what I’m “not supposed to say” because “it upsets that psychotic manager”. I’ll be gone before I have any personal political consequences, but the report document will remain, pointing the finger at people that would normally try to bite it off.
Yeah, I agree with you on this one. It's kind of easy once you understand it, but it took Maxwell to figure it out. I might not have figured that out in ten centuries by myself lol.

Thinking too small.

Every line is potentially /many/ bugs.
This is perhaps the most random and stupid comment in this thread, but I always hear Lou Costello going "HEY MAMETTTTTTTTTT!!!!!" in my head when I see his name. (Yes, I know he's saying 'Abbott'.)
If you used leading whitespace you could wind up with something like old basics where you had to number your lines. It was great, you'd always skip 10 between lines so if you had a bug you could stuff a patch in between existing lines at *5.

For the whitespace, you'd have to know how deeply to indent the outermost part of your code.

So if you add an if block to a for loop, every line of the code has to be indented and only the contents of the new if would be at indent of 0.

I am not going to write this pseudocode in AntiLang because I am not that much of a masochist.

for ( foo in somearray )
doStuff(foo)
end

becomes

for ( foo in somearray )
if ( condition )
doStuff(foo)
end
end

If you antilanged this the rest of the way, you could have a common `start` to indicate the start of a block and then replace the `end with the actual conditional.

start
doStuff(foo)
for( foo in somearray )

This gets horrible pretty quick. So as terrible as trailing line space is, leading line space is quite possibly worse.

Which leads me to the ultimate conlusion -

White space should be balanced. If you need 4 spaces indent, you also need 4 spaces on the end of the string.
Show HN: Get pinged when you are mouth breathing
Hi HN,

I tend to resort to mouth breathing when I focus hard so I made this tool to track when I start mouth breathing and play a 'ding' sound to stop me from doing it!

It basically tracks if your mouth is open or not and has a calibration phase that mostly works to determine your nasal breathing posture.
A friend got taken in by a Ponzi scheme operator several years ago. The guy running it was known for taking his clients out to lavish dinners and events all the time.[0]

After the scam came to light my friend said “if I knew I was paying for those dinners, I would have been fine with Denny’s[1]”

I wanted to tell him “you would have been paying for those dinners even if he wasn’t outright stealing your money,” but that seemed insensitive so I kept my mouth shut.

0 - a local steakhouse had a portrait of this guy drawn on the wall

1 - for any non-Americans, Denny’s is a low cost diner-style restaurant.
I'd say it's as bad as I thought.

That is pretty contentious even in physics circles (from what I've heard in videos). The build me a bigger particle collider might not have any impact. We might not see any of the hypothetically proposed stuff.
That $7 trillion dollar ask pushed me from skeptical to full-on eye-roll emoji land— the dude is clearly a narcissist with delusions of grandeur— but it’s getting worse. Considering the $200 pro subscription was significantly unprofitable before this model came out, imagine how astonishingly expensive this model must be to run at many times that price.
Yeah, right now I'm not supporting ranges but can see the value and will work on adding in

The demo is setup to match on the description, price and stock columns, when you send a message I try to parse it into searches for each column. I'm realizing with these kinds of searches that I probably have to do more work on that parsing, because its not super clear if that number should be part of the description search or matching against price, etc..
Thanks for flagging this. Odd. Did this happen on the website or in the actual app? Might be a server overload looking at our logs.
It could be there were many parts made and many of them fail QC. Not to mention a part like this probably has to recoup all of its R&D and overhead costs from its sale because it was likely made by a supplier to Honeywell, not "substantially subsidized the R&D efforts" like you said.
Well, IMO h2 streams are more flushed out and offer better control than websockets, but that's just my opinion. In fact, websockets are your only "proper" option if you want hat bidirectional stream be binary - browsers don't expose that portion of h2 to JS.

Here is a silly thing that is possible with h2 over a single connection, but not with websockets:

Multiple page components (Islands) each have their own stream of events over a single h2 connection. With websockets, you will need to roll your own multiplexing[1].

[1]: I think you can multiplex multiple websockets over a single h2 connection tho, but don't quote me on this.

> I was sad and frustrated for the thousands of people who have been stripped of a career dedicated to serving others

Serving others can mean either working in one occupation to produce money that one then gives away for charitable use or it can mean directly volunteering (and foregoing income) to help those in need.

Somehow, these very noble aims have transformed into being compensated well for spending other people's money.

Look, there's nothing wrong with a career at USAID or whatever gov't agency, but the idea that this career choice is somehow inherently more charitable/generous/service-oriented than any other career choice is frankly ridiculous. However, I've seen many public sector employees make this exact claim, that somehow their profession is more noble, and frankly this has contributed a lot to the current attitudes of those in power and the base who elected them.

But beyond even that, there is actually not a whole lot of merit in doing charity with money that others are forced to give to you under threat of violence. I actually broadly support nationwide charity and would love to see something like what George HW Bush did with his points of light campaign (public campaigns to direct the private contributions of Americans to national causes). But this is a far cry from US AID. There is nothing particularly noble about spending taxpayer money.
You make a good point: I think these LLM's have a strong bias towards recommending the most popular things in pop culture since they really only find the most likely tokens and report on that.

So while they may have a chance of answering "What is this non mainstream novel about" they may be unable to recommend the novel since it's not a likely series of tokens in response to a request for a book recommendation.
What specifically isn't working in what concerns immigration and how has the way immigration was handled in the last 20 years been a failure? Please provide specific examples.

I live in an European capital and haven't seen any of these issues that immigration is supposedly creating. AFAICT theses issues only exist in the minds of people, and thus in the media.

Regardless, let's say I'm wrong and immigration is indeed creating some issues. Are these issues really so important relative to other problems a state might have that they command the amount of attention immigration gets?

I call bullshit, it's purely a wrong skin color problem.

I don't know, man. You'll have to go talk to some of them to get a better answer. This is my distilling of 8 years of conversations with average, everyday conservatives as I tried to figure out what they were even talking about. Interestingly, the all seem to have a strong intuition of what they want but seem to stumble on articulating it, they get frustrated, and lash out. I had to do a lot of socratic method and ask a lot of questions to come to these conclusions.

However, you are right about Marxism in that it influences a lot of things. Ironically, the accelerationist movement also even has influence from Marx. A lot whom I talked to have disdain for "academia" - I do know that.

I'm guessing here (and a lot of this is guess work) - that integration is difficult because they view "social control" as impossible outside of a cultural context. That is, within a culture, everyone learns all of the subtle rules and order of things - things that you can't codify in law. But, integration requires a lot of frontal lobe activity which is difficult to maintain and is fragile when it fails.
I know. Also, twisted in this comment I think.

The Musk headline was loosely tidied to someone arrested (whilst) praying *outside* and ignores the context of what was happening at the time, and for the many hours before the arrest. Minor details like that.

It's Wargaming who owns the IP and assets, and I doubt they release them, if they even have them. DrDeath or Mavor might have copies, but neither of them would likely release them.

Similarly, TA's source code never got released, and while Spring is great and ArmoredFish made good progress with RWE, I wish that code hadn't gotten lost either.

Don't worry. Musk is already sending his people from SpaceX to help solve the problems.
And in the process kick competition (Verizon) from a 2.4B$ contract and secure it for SpaceX.

But that's normal, there is no conflict of interest as he's not DOGE chief, Amy Gleason is. Why it was Musk then than run the first Cabinet meeting ? One has to wonder.

I'm at a loss of words frankly about what's happening in the USA. This Trump idea about selling citizenship for 5M$ may actually be good - you bet Russian Oligarchs are salivating - this kind of blantant corruption was hard to achieve even in the early post-URSS Russia.

Thanks cketti, for all your toil on K-9 and Thunderbird for Android. Over many years K-9 was the only mail client that just worked for me. When I finally transitioned to a certain secure web mail provider based in CH, I had to leave K-9 behind. But I still appreciate the challenge of making an open protocol mail client work reliably. Enjoy your sabbatical, however long it lasts, and keep an open mind about the future: the skills you've honed as a software developer are substantial and give you a head start in pretty much any field.
What's confusing me is that both reviewers and several commenters here are suggesting code that is simply incorrect.

If you wait for the time between now and the timeout, you mandate that if the value is not in the hashmap immediately, the program will sleep for ~5 seconds no matter what. "the key was very likely to be there within the first second" is the entire rebuttal to their suggestion. You don't need anything else, why would you sleep for 5 seconds if you can only sleep for 1? Do you not care about runtime performance? Do you have no respect for the user who has to wait for the output?

You just linked an entire article with, realistically, some pretty detailed analysis of how the Harris campaign was interacting with Reddit. There are details of what was said, who said it, where it was said, how much was said. Experiments were conducted. Dates, times and strategies are being publicised.

Link me that for the Harris campaign's interactions with CNN or the New York Times. There is nowhere near as much information floating around as far as I have seen - people have to guess.

> had to go to Ukrainian media and military sources through Substack and elsewhere to get a non-propagandized sense of things.

I'm just going to pick this up on the way through - that is not the right move; Ukraine is in an active war! There is little hope their media is reporting things accurately. Countries in war, particularly losing wars, are notorious for presenting a warped view of the war situation.

And there are strong suspicions that the Ukraine media is a wing of the US propaganda machine, one of the things that came up during USAID was the remarkable amount of foreign funding for media that flows through Ukraine [0].

> You’re talking about insane levels of media corruption as if it is a natural and unavoidable phenomenon, but it’s not. We can change it.

It is and you can't. The only thing that has changed in recent years is that there are alternative voices being heard that are alerting people to just how bad the media situation is. I'm not seeing any evidence the quality of the media has changed in the last [insert time period], but wow the amount of transparency has jumped up since around the 2000s.

I went to high school in the Dayton, OH area and did nerd stuff like Science Olympiad. A favorite source on the team for inexpensive supplies for the building events was Michelson's, a surplus store that stocked capacitors in several aisles and sold wire by the pound.

Besides components, they sold some items in varying degrees of completeness.

I cannot verify any part of this story, but I was talking to the cashier one day, and he told me a story of the store ending up with some items from the cancelled B-1A program.

When the program was revived as the B-1B, some serious-looking men came to the store to retake possession of said items out of concern for them falling into the wrong hands.

Wright Patterson AFB is a short drive away, but I don't know what role it may have played in the B-1 program. If it was involved, I guess it might've plausibly been a source for some surplus to Mendelson's. Note that the B-1 program long predates me.

The employees, on the other hand, were old enough that they could've witnessed the alleged events first-hand. The elevator operator, in particular, looked like he was older than time itself.

The store is sadly now gone, in case anyone was thinking of paying a visit to see what else may have turned up there.
