Anyone know how to get access to it? Notably i'm debating purchasing for Claude Code, but being on NixOS i want to make sure i can install it first.

If this Code preview is only open to subscribers it means i have to subscribe before i can even see if the binary works for me. Hmm

A simple yet effective solution to import your text scripts into Elgato Prompter without having to manually copy and paste each chapter into the Camera Hub program.

Apple's Private Cloud Compute is on racks of M4 chips which have NPUs and GPUs on-die and unified memory access to however much RAM they want to put on them. All of a sudden they're competitive with NVIDIA, but they don't let anyone else use that platform.

Thanks for this writeup. Whenever people complain about some service removing or making it harder to try out a free tier, I think they don't realize the amount of abuse that needs to be managed by the service providers.

"Why do things suck?" Because parasites ruined it for the rest of us.

> We have to accept a certain amount of abuse. It is a far better use of our time to use it improving Geocodio for legitimate users rather than trying to squash everyone who might create a handful of accounts

Reminds me of Patrick McKenzie's "The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero" [1] (wrt banking systems)

Also, your abuse-scoring system sounds a bit like Bayesian spam filtering, where you have a bunch of signals (Disposable Email, IP from Risky Source, Rate of signup...) that you correlate, no?

The point isn't that it's bad, the point is that the AI did not discover the solution to the problem independently, as news headlines had implied.
From glancing through a few of the pages that piqued my interest, I was somewhat surprised to see this section in "How to Execute Types" (https://vekatze.github.io/neut/how-to-execute-types.html):

> Here, we'll see how a type is translated into a function that discards/copies the terms of the type. To see the basic idea, let's take a simple ADT for example:

data item {
| New(int, int)
}

> The internal representation of New(10, 20) is something like the below:

> New(10, 20)

// ↓ (compile)

let v = malloc({2-words}) in
store(10, v[0]);
store(20, v[1]);
v

I suspected that it's not actually heap-allocating every single bit of memory in every program, and from looking around more in the docs, I _think_ the "Allocation Canceling" section here explains what I was missing (https://vekatze.github.io/neut/basis.html#allocation-canceli...):

> When a free is required, Neut looks for a malloc that is the same size and optimizes away such a pair if one exists.

This is a really interesting way of automating memory management at compile time. I imagine there's still a lot of room for different choices in this strategy (e.g. choosing to reuse part of a larger allocation rather than looking for one that's exactly the same size and then leaving behind the remainder to re-use for a future allocation), and I'm super curious about whether this would end up encouraging different patterns than existing memory management systems. Offhand, it almost seems like it could act as a built-in allocation buffer managed by the compiler, and I'm curious if the algorithm for reusing memory is smart enough to handle something like manually allocating the maximum amount of memory needed for the lifetime of the program up front and then re-using that for the duration of the program to avoid needing to allocate anything dynamically at all (although my worry would be that this would devolve into the knapsack problem and not be feasible in practice). If this did work though, my immediate idea would be for some sort of hook where you could specify the maximum amount of memory you'd be willing to use, which could then turn "using too much memory at runtime" into a compiler error. My assumption is that that I'm missing something that would make all of this not work the way I'm thinking though.
Right. And understanding the why requires one to put aside their feelings and analyze the unsavory. Reducing everything to knee-jerk call outs does nothing for anyone.
I think there are reasonable arguments against it. It increases costs of selling products, reduces profitability.

I think the benefits outweigh those costs, but the argument isn't unreasonable.
Love this stuff, reminds me of old 2600 articles
Great writeup. Simple heuristics very often work wonders. The fraudsters are out there and try to pinch holes in your shield.
Some time ago we were running a mobile service provider and had some issues with fraudulent postpaid subscribers - however the cost of using background checking services was substantial. We solved it quite effectively by turning the background checks on when the level of fraud went over a certain threshold which made them go away for some weeks. We kept this on and off pattern for a very long time with great success as it lowered the friction to sign up significantly when turned off…

> The backlash was very disproportionate imo; it was never my kind of thing either but you weren't going to run into it unless you were specifically seeking it out.

I'm not sure what the backlash was (I'm nowhere near that scene), but as a tactic, it could be that the reason for the disproportionate backlash was to prevent this style of cooking from becoming more widespread, rather than in reaction to its presence.

I know what you're talking about and it's been a while but I remember it being kind of a headscratcher. He says some stuff about innovation and then mentions bauhaus but (in my memory at least) failed to connect the book or his approach to cooking to the modernist movement in a compelling way. And also failed to convince me that he knew anything about modernism except the name and a vague association with mid-20th-century aesthetics.
We buy our own coffee and equipment. The quality is constant. The only variable is our mood, which might affect the measurement from jug to jug, resulting in slight taste variations.
Even as a JSON document store I'd rather use postgres with a jsonb column.
No, Sanders was quite openly against open borders and for reducing immigration in general, not just H1B:

Sanders, however, has long criticized open borders. In 2015, he referred to them as a "right wing proposal" pushed forward by the wealthy Koch brothers. "You're doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don't think there's any country in the world which believes in that," he said in an interview with Ezra Klein of Vox. - https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-open-borders-poverty...

As for Democratic (or Republican, for that matter, including Trump's 1st term) presidents being anti-immigration - that was entirely smoke and mirrors. Statistics show mass legal immigration continued (then massively accelerated under Biden): https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charted-u-s-net-immigration...
Im pretty sure thats a falsity. Making tech repair friendly doesnt really add to the form factor of a device if you know how to design correctly, even with phones.

If the goal is to go from coal to gas without much additional concerns, then yes, it doesn't matter if fossil fuel subsidize increased or that the country get more dependent on fossil fuel imports. The goal was achieved and so it was a success.

The critique they get is that there are other goals and the outcome of the strategy that Germany deployed had terrible outcomes. It costs too much, it has too much pollution, and it had very negative geopolitical consequences. It is also not a cheap way of hitting those last few percent of reliability, as is demonstrated with the increase in subsidizes and taxes to solve the issue of grid stability. A part of the issue is that the strategy assumed that market forces would force consumers to not consume during suboptimal weather conditions, but as has been demonstrated, citizens will vote to have the governments that provide a reliable priced energy grid. That makes the last few percent even more expensive as citizens don't want to pay the market price of a highly variable grid.

Criticizing the outcomes of an explicit strategy is very much fair game, and it is still the official strategy in Germany.
and no error will really cost them that much, anyway.
At 33k items in memory is quite fast, 10 ms is very responsive. With 10x/330k items given same hardware the expected time is 1 second. That might be too slow for some applications (but not all). Especially if one just does retrieval of a rather small amount of matches, an index will help a lot for 100k++ datasets.
I did receive the "it's not the governments job" speech but they had no rebuttal when I asked about border agents seizing official refurb apple parts as "counterfeit" or Microsoft jailing someone trying to keep old PCs out of landfill...

During COVID I'd take a lot of walks, and in a similar way, it helped to have some kind of basically useless goal/destination in mind. For me it was checking out how construction in a nearby park was going, including what was happening in a temporary holding pond. I would send "pond updates" to my family in other states, which they found amusing. I got really interesting in all the different birds I was seeing and how the plants were growing. Now that I'm downtown, in a more "walkable" place, I don't really have the same variety of interesting natural things to see. Maybe I can think of something similar.
Wow! How much did this cost you in GPU credits? And did you consider using your MacBook?

> USA has no shipyards and infrastructure is crumbling precisely because of misallocation of resources and labor

Yes, and you have tariffs to thank for this. The Jones Act requires US-built ships for any ship traffic within the US waters.

So the shipbuilders were insulated from competition and just degraded into Defense contract moochers.
What do you even do then as a student? I've asked this dozens of times with zero practical answers at all. Frankly I've become entirely numb to it all.

The engine supports arbitrary predicates for C, C++, and Rust users. In higher level languages it’s hard to combine callbacks and concurrent state management.

In terms of scalability and efficiency, the only tool I’ve seen coming close is Nvidia’s cuVS if you have GPUs available. FAISS HNSW implementation can easily be 10x slower and most commercial & venture-backed alternatives are even slower: https://www.unum.cloud/blog/2023-11-07-scaling-vector-search...

In this use-case, I believe SimSIMD raw kernels may be a better choice. Just replace NumPy and enjoy speedups. It provides hundreds of hand-written SIMD kernels for all kinds of vector-vector operations for AVX, AVX-512, NEON, and SVE across F64, F32, BF16, F16, I8, and binary vectors, mostly operating in mixed precision to avoid overflow and instability: https://github.com/ashvardanian/SimSIMD

Moonwalking with Einstein is a fun book. "Your Memory" by Higbee I read maybe 15-20 years ago and it's more on how to do this kind of stuff. I was able to memorize a deck of cards quite quickly at one point but these techniques require quite a bit of practice to keep.

Also, most of this information is freely available online at this point and there are a ton of resources for finding it probably but I remember it being a pretty useful book at the time.
Hard to find the original numbers since China, which accounts for ~70% of mining, cracked down in summer of 2021. But according the US Energy Information Administration, crypto mining in 2024 accounted for 0.6% to 2.3% of all US electricity consumption.

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61364

According to the UN, China's share of mining dropped from 73% in 2020 to 21% in 2022. They also state

In 2024 the percent of global energy usage for crypto mining has dropped to around 2% according to the IMF

https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2024/08/15/carbon-emis...

Someone less lazy than me could probably take some of these statistics to get an estimate of global energy consumed by crypto mining at its peak in 2020

Ehh objectively false is objectively false.

pdqsort fails to detect many partially ordered lists.

So you might argue about the scale of “Huge caveat” but trying to discover information about a list takes computing cycles. Even just pdqsort vs pdqsort_branchless exists due to that exact caveat, it’s fundamental to the nature of the problem. There’s infinitely ways data could have an inherent pattern which would speed up the process of sorting it and no way to algorithmically notice all patterns in such a way as to universally speed up sorting.

As to what there is to learn from Quicksort. I think it’s a poor introduction to algorithms not because it’s of the nature as an algorithm, but early on its many pitfalls draw attention away from more useful topics. Later on it’s simply not complex enough to be worth much attention. So sure in an academic context it looks really appealing, yet when you dig into what the point of teaching algorithms it’s much harder to justify. It’s covered so frequently you’re not even going to see it on interviews.
