I totally feel you on the implementation side. The formalization used in the spec leaves a lot to be desired, and the spec devs seem to recognize this well. One of the aims of my dayaml[0] project is to explore a completely different formalization that rationalizes out the non-fundamental sharp edges.

That said, there really aren't that many special cases. A lot of the them are UI features, arguably endemic to the problem space in one form or another.

The deficiencies you see in the language, however, don't ring true with me. They are mostly implementation deficiencies:

- Anchors are just pointers. YAML can efficiently represent generic object graphs, but if a loader copies those pointers into a billion laughs, that's an issue with the implementation decision. Usually, it comes down to assuming that YAML graphs are always trees, which will always turn cyclic graphs into infinite tree unfoldings.

- Keys are explicitly specced as unique [1]. Not really sure why libyaml and friends get this wrong.

- Loading YAML to objects is explicitly designed to represent the native data structures of your language. It's a serialization format by design. That's why it loads into objects. That's why it has complex keys.

We can certainly discuss whether YAML is appropriate as a configuration language or not, but YAML is first and foremost designed as a language-agnostic textual representation of object graphs. The spec goes well out of it's way to make this clear, and viewing YAML for what it is, instead of a configuration language, really makes the apparent oddities disappear IMHO.

In the end, it really is just metabolic math. As a former wrestler who did some insane weight-losing in my youth, the muscle mass loss is due to extreme calorie restriction. Besides, just sitting around starving is not a good way to become healthier in the long run, and that's where the muscle loss will be worst. To be a true journey towards better health, dieting should be accompied by at least a lot of walking and some light weight training, in the minimum.

And don't forget your supplements, kids (addressing general readership), because our foods are less nutrient dense in 2025, so find out if some supplements help energy levels on the downslope. Me and my teenagers have taken a sip / mini-gulp of a product called 'Orgain' daily for a month or so, and I have found my energy better, while having less cravings. An entire little 11oz single-size drink is way too much for me (too many vitamins, makes me sleepy), having 'just a little bit' is not at all scientific, but we seem to be thriving on that little bit of supplementation.

And, as always, avoid those processed sugars, kids! Whole sugar cane is very, very good for us, but only in moderate doses. Processed sugar is the crack cocaine of sugar cane, as opposed to just chewing a leaf of the coca plant.

I think what's causing the hang is using the site. I gave it [a-f0-9]{8}(?:-[a-f0-9]{4}){3}-[a-f0-9]{12} and it sat thinking about things for a few minutes. So I tried the reverse and asked it "Match a UUID" and it sat and thought about things.

Now I am enlightened.
The situation is that OCaml is giving you all the options:

(a) int has 31 bits in 32-bit architectures and 63 in 64-bit architectures (which speed up some operations)

(b) the standard library also provides Int32 and Int64 modules, which support platform-independent operations on 32- and 64-bit signed integers.

In other words: int is different but you always have standard Int32 and Int64 in case you need them.

It seems therefore that the use for system-level programming should not be decided for this (although the fact that it is a garbage collected language can be important depending on the case, note that still its garbage collector has been proved one of the fastest in the comparisons and evaluations done by the Koka language team of developers).

No, not everything. Atoms, subatomic particles, light, electromagnetism, etc. are not chemicals. There are many things we experience in everyday life that are not chemicals.
Exercise is great for your health, but it generally has a negligible effect on weight loss because exercise doesn't actually consume that many calories. The biggest benefit of exercise on weight loss is the temporary exercise-induced anorexia that occurs in very high intensity workouts.

That's an absurd bit rate for humans, especially talking about voice.

24-bit samples is ridiculous overkill. That's a huge dynamic range that's completely unnecessary.

At 192KHz you'd be able to capture 96KHz signals, far, FAR outside the range of human hearing. Human hearing peaks at 22KHz so you only need a sample rate of 44KHz to capture the total range of human hearing.

For human voice you don't really need better than 16-bit samples at 12KHz or so. That's for great quality voice.

The only reason audio mastering is done at huge sample sizes and sampling frequencies is to prevent aliasing during mixing and to preserve higher frequency harmonics. There's absolutely no need for such rates delivering to human beings.

Also higher fidelity audio sampling is available for phone calls. The issue is more political than technical. Cellular carriers don't like to negotiate higher quality calls between one another so inter-carrier calls tend to fall back on the lowest common denominator AMR-NB codec. Intra-carrier calls don't even reliably pick AMR-WB let alone EVS available with VoLTE.

Hot: Highlighted Chain of Thought for Referencing Supporting Facts from Inputs
Abstract:

An Achilles heel of Large Language Models (LLMs) is their tendency to hallucinate non-factual statements. A response mixed of factual and non-factual statements poses a challenge for humans to verify and accurately base their decisions on. To combat this problem, we propose Highlighted Chain-of-Thought Prompting (HoT), a technique for prompting LLMs to generate responses with XML tags that ground facts to those provided in the query. That is, given an input question, LLMs would first re-format the question to add XML tags highlighting key facts, and then, generate a response with highlights over the facts referenced from the input. Interestingly, in few-shot settings, HoT outperforms vanilla chain of thought prompting (CoT) on a wide range of 17 tasks from arithmetic, reading comprehension to logical reasoning. When asking humans to verify LLM responses, highlights help time-limited participants to more accurately and efficiently recognize when LLMs are correct. Yet, surprisingly, when LLMs are wrong, HoTs tend to make users believe that an answer is correct.

Shopify has a solution to the second bullet, at least here in the US.

Shop Pay provides a common set of login, payment and package tracking services for stores on the Shopify platform. This is great for small stores that don't want to implement Apple or Google Pay.

I have been buying direct from the manufacturer or from small shops since I cancelled my Prime subscription in 2023 [0]. Many of them use Shopify with Shop Pay enabled. It's great. The only negative about it (which I knew going in) was that next-day shipping is (rightfully) much more expensive, if they offer it at all.

As far as postage goes, you're out of luck there. Amazon runs their own logistics and shipping network. They can afford to offer next day delivery at deep discounts no-one else can match.

It's nearly always a side effect of weight loss, and it's a good thing. It's confusing how people act like it's bad.

If you're obese, your legs are enormously strong with crazy amounts of muscle. Have you ever seen someone obese do leg presses at the gym? They can handle tons of weight.

When you lose weight, you don't need all that extra muscle. If you're carrying around 180 lbs instead of 300 lbs on your frame, all that extra muscle goes away because there's no point in keeping it. This is a good thing.

Even if you go from 200 lbs to 180 lbs, there's a level of muscle you don't need anymore.

Losing muscle as you lose weight is natural and good. Now, obviously you don't want to lose so much that you become weak for your size, but that won't happen if you continue to be physically active. Your body is exceptionally good at maintaining the exact right level of muscle to meet the regular stresses it undergoes. (Provided you are eating enough protein, but that's easy.)
Zone transfers are super interesting topic. Thanks for mentioning that.

It's basically the way how to get all DNS records a DNS server has. Interestingly in some countries this is illegal and in some this is considered best practice.

We did research on that few months back and found out that 8% of all global name servers have it enabled.[0]

Show HN: Configurable Value Model Interface for Recommendation and Search
Hey HN,

We're excited to launch Shaped Value Modeling, an interface for optimizing recommendation and search models for multiples objectives. We needed a way to combine multiple objectives—like relevance, conversions, and diversity — without constantly redeploying models or sacrificing performance. So we created a python DSL that lets you combine these objectives in real time, dynamically adjust ranking logic, and A/B test different strategies without redeploying.

Here's the core idea:

- Composable Value Models: Define your ranking logic in Python by combining different models and signals (e.g., click prediction, purchase likelihood, item quality).

- Dynamic API Control: Adjust the weighting of these signals on the fly through a simple API. Want to boost engagement for a specific user segment? Change the weighting in real time.

- Built-in Analytics: Track the impact of your changes with integrated analytics.

How it Works:
1.Train separate models for different objectives (e.g., LightGBM for click prediction, BERT4Rec for purchase likelihood).
2. Define a "value model" that combines these models using mathematical expressions and custom logic. Let's say we have a lightgbm click-through-rate model called ctr_model and a transformerd based next purchase model called purchase_model, you can create an ensembled value model as follows:

```
value_model = 0.5 * lightgbm + 0.5 * bert4rec + log(item.quality_score)
```

3. Dynamically adjust the value_model via API calls to optimize for different goals or user segments:

```
{
"user_id": "83NSLX",
"config": {
"value_model": "0.3 * lightgbm + 0.7 * bert4rec"
}
}
```

Check it out in our linked demo!
This is really cool! I've always thought that one thing preventing major competitors to AWS/Azure/GCP is the lack of easy-to-use tooling for machine level monitoring like this. When I was at Microsoft, we built a tool like this that used Windows Firewall filters to track all the network traffic between our services and it was incredibly useful for debugging.

That said, as with anything from Meta, I approach this with a grain of salt and the fact that I can't tell what they stand to gain from this makes me suspicious.

What would that entail? The whole of the UK has been a human managed ecosystem for centuries. Deforestation was completed about 400 years ago and the larges stand of contiguous trees is under 300 sq. mi. So many of the species that would have made up the old ecosystem are gone.
It’s not just the syntax. Regex isn’t directly composable (unless you just mash together strings). They cannot define nested structures, I.e. no recursion. They can’t maintain context.

We don’t need better language tools. Better parsers can, and already have, been implemented in libraries.

I’d have a look at parser combinators.
>Whose standard of living though? It's well and good if you're in a comfy desk job with health care and a pension.

The fundamental problem is that people want low-value jobs (manufacturing clothes irons, screw drivers, ceramic mugs) with a contemporary American middle class living wages. It just doesn't math though. If you make mugs by hand all day you simply cannot create enough value in a day to keep up with the person who automates production lines all day.

Worse yet, they want those wages while also still being able to go to walmart and buy...clothes irons, screw drivers, and ceramic mugs for <$20 (maybe $50 for the iron).

We already just saw how this went over during the pandemic. Many people got $20/hr jobs for the first time in their life. A wage they have always dreamed of while slogging in $10-$12/hr jobs. Then it happened...but it felt the same as when they were making $12/hr. This is because the intrisic value they create didn't change. Value creation is what determines the structure of an economy, not wages or dollars or any other currency, those are just proxies.

The intrinsic value of making this stuff in the US just isn't there to make it viable to compete with the large number of high intrinsic value job workers in the US.

This is the most confidently incorrect post I've seen in a long time.
The reason of F# guys did things different from OCaml is not because system-level programming but because F# is a language designed for the .NET ecosystem which imposes specific type constrains. F# language was not specifically designed for systems-level programming.

Again, the semantics of Int is different but the semantics in OCaml of Int32 and Int64 is the same/standard. So you have 3 types: int, Int32 and Int64 and it is an static typed language.
