Sure there are some inconsistencies and legacy, but I wouldn't call that "horribly broken".

You're probably referring to plots with subplots. Those indeed have issues, although mostly not because of the API. This has somewhat improved with the constrained layout, within the old API. There's also now GridSpec for more control. And for EDA those don't really matter much. There are some annoying differences when calling Axis methods vs the global functions (e.g. xlim vs set_xlim).

Tweaking plots exactly as you want can get tricky, although for that the artist API can get you more or less anything you want. Care to share what's the library that gives you guaranteed results in no time and with no frustrations?
Maybe the focus should instead be to dumb down ui elements and remove all the styling noise so that LLMs can operate the UI most efficiently

It depends on where you are competing. For a FAANG then full stack has little value because everyone must specialize. For a smaller shop, people pay more for full stack. Those kinds of shops pay less than FAANG of course.

Coffitivity – HN Thank You (50% off forever w/ HACKERNEWS12)
12 years ago Tommy Nicholas (now of Alloy.com) shared our first little "app" Coffitivity on this platform. We went from ~100 views to 49K overnight thanks to this community. More than a decade later we're still at. This month we released version 2 of our application, the largest release since 2015. It only seems fitting that we share our newest release here again. Thank you for all of your support, feedback and wishes over the years!
> The compiler can make it mutable for better performance

Well, we already know that no pure FP language can match the performance of a dirty normal imperative language, except for Common Lisp (which I am happy to hear an explanation for how it manages to be much faster than the rest, maybe it's due to the for loops?). And another comment here already mentioned how those "significantly slower" scripting languages have a healthy dose of FP constructs -- which are normally considered anti-patterns, for good reason. The only language that competes in speed in Rust, which just so happens to let you have fast FP abstractions so long as you manually manage every piece of memory and its lifetime, constantly negotiating with the compiler in the process, thereby giving up any of the convenience benefits you actually get from FP.
I checked this, the whole conversation was about 1000 tokens.

I suspect the Ollama version might have wrong default settings, such as conversation delimiters. The experience of Gemma 3 in AI studio is completely different.
I thought moving from i3/x11 to sway/wayland but from this post is looks like screen sharing still not resolved yet completely on wayland. How much time is worth to wait until UX with wayland will be good enough to not worry about that kind stuff?
That's why I am still using iPad Pro from 2018. There is nothing in their new iPads that is interesting to me. I don't think I'll upgrade unless any of the following happens: (1) the iPad dies (2) it stops getting any updates and cannot install any apps (3) it can rust Python/Rust/Go/vscode natively at raw performance, without all those stupid, unnecessary sorcery just to make things run at a fraction of real hardware power.

Voting with my wallet.
I looked around a bit wondering why they’d even contain glycerol. Apparently, it’s a sugar substitute that has similar antifreeze properties as real sugar:

https://foodcomplianceinternational.com/industry-insight/new...

I checked ICEE ingredients here in the US, and they don’t seem to contain it.

https://www.icee.com/flavors/

Their FAQ says no such sugar substitute exists:

https://www.icee.com/faqs/

(Though it also fails to mention that their products are loaded with HFCS).

My guess is that looking for brands that are sugar based or at least advertise they’re free of artificial sweeteners is probably the right move.

I looked for Slurpee (#2 brand in US) ingredients, but could only find them for Canada, with a note saying they vary by country. Canada doesn’t have any sugar free offerings, and none contain glycerol.

The US has a sugar free oreo slurpee that sounds terrible. I’d like to see the ingredient list for it!

Back in college one summer, I had an HP calculator crammed full of programs I had written for various circuit and RF design courses I was taking. I didn't have any way to store them, other than writing them down on paper. On a whim that summer, I went to take the Ham Radio Extra class exam one weekend. The proctor said I needed to erase all the memory from my calculator before using it on the test. I told him no way was I going to do that, but suggested an alternative.

I had been curious how slide rules worked, and had found one after searching high and low for in half a dozen stores before finding probably the last one for sale in Atlanta. The slide rule was in my backpack, so I asked the proctor, could I used the slide rule instead? He chuckled, and said no problem. During the test, one of the proctors tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if he could bring me a bucket of water to cool down my "slip stick". I did pass the test that day, and I used to brag that I got my Extra Class license with a "Slide Rule endorsement".
For a slightly longer tl;dr:

- Project is a port, code needs to behave identically to the javascript version
- Cyclic data structures super hard in Rust
- AOT in C# not mature enough
So far my son (8th grade) really just uses Desmos https://www.desmos.com/calculator which is apparently also built-in to the SAT now (which is taken on a computer) - I have been trying to convince him a separate calculator is better but so far no luck.
When your kids are older there's "Phineas and Ferb" and "Gravity Falls" which are both good enough to be watched without kids.

Niri is inspired by paperWM and it’s so much smoother. If you liked PaperWM then niri might be worth a look.

It does suffer a bit because it’s not built within the gnome environment. So niri is missing a few things that gnome provides “for free.” Niri leaves it up to you find replacements for some pretty basic functionality.

Some things it seems to be missing:

- Desktop notifications
- App launcher
- dock or any sort of list of running apps.
- Xwayland (for seamlessly running x11 applications)

All of these functions must be provided by other separate tools that are not included with niri.

My biggest complaint is the lack of clipboard synchronization between x11 and Wayland. I guess that gnome handles this automatically but it’s not so in niri - Wayland apps have independent clipboard and inability copy paste between Wayland and x11 is very annoying.

There are workarounds but none that I’ve tried so far are satisfactorily convenient and reliable.

Who's writing these idioms? I've always seen register variables as an alternative, not the default option, except for those registers which have no constraint code.
Thanks :)

I also struggle with keeping hobbies as just hobbies. I obsess and find that whatever I'm interested in totally takes over. It can last a long time. Running was also one of those things. A decade strong of obsession over small improvements.

A fork? Getting any momentum behind this might be really hard.
There are also some practical constraints, like any kind of erotic content is completely prohibited in some regulations (like India), so if you want to be able to have access to human labeling or deploy the model under these regulations, you do need to comply.

It’ll get easier once the costs of building foundational models go down and human labeling gets automated. Sit tight, models that’d be creative and amazing at generating erotic content are certainly coming.
Most of the usual components listed should be standard at some point. The main issue is still that the Web was thought for documents, not apps. The current mess is partially due to OS vendors not agreeing on a standard, cross platform GUI API, so it was done via the Web

I read about some of the mitigation methods for an Ammonia fueled ship. If Ammonia is detected in the air, they start spraying water, like a sprinkler system. Ammonia has a high affinity to water.

Ammonia is also lighter than air. When it is first released it is typically cold, so it sticks around until it warms up. Eventually it will float up into the atmosphere.

One disadvantage is its lower energy density, you need to store twice as much of it as bunker oil.

One advantage that I can see for Ammonia is that the ingredients it is composed of are readily available from the environment. Also, the fuel may be upgraded by cracking it into hydrogen and nitrogen using waste heat from the engine. Hydrogen gives a bigger pop in the cylinder, Ammonia doesn't burn as easily.

One scenario I can think of is using nuclear power on a platform in the ocean, manufacturing the Ammonia, ships can come by and refuel there.
Yeah this is an overly exaggerated claim

I am surprised they do not list the dimensions of the development board on the site.
> Is that really a meaningful statement that stands, or it that just hand wavy glance away one now?

The $67m figure is the same one I'm finding for Falcon 9 (and it can carry loads 40% heavier). That made me think they were matching each other on price to stay competitive in the market and that seems correct as the internal costs I'm seeing for SpaceX Falcon 9 launches are estimated around $15mil, meaning they have a large margin from which to come down from.

> it won't be long before JAXA/MHI starts selling H3 at half the cost of H-IIA

SpaceX doesn't stand still. It's weird to think that in several years SpaceX will be in the same place (relying on Falcon 9) yet JAXA, etc will have improved dramatically.

I've been working on a diagramming tool [1] and wanted to get some thoughts from people who regularly make architecture and other technical diagrams. I know my own experiences but I'm quite curious to hear others.

If you are someone who gets a lot of projects coming your way, wouldn’t you rather help people get their ideas over the line and maybe get some additional credibility and networking from it? Maybe it means more to me as I’m a little earlier in my career, but I feel like I don’t want to pass up on these opportunities.

I’m looking for ways that I can take a management role on projects and have other devs do most of the heavy coding - is this something you have tried?
> it's still incredibly misleading

What, exactly, is misleading? The title of the blogpost is "Sorting Algorithms with CUDA" and I didn't get the feeling that the author is touting their "Bottom-up iterative merge sort" is the fastest possible way of sorting with CUDA. There is even a "Future Work" section at the end, implying even the author know it can be done better.
Unfortunately my Pinephone is rather dusty at this point.

It might be a small thing to take a principled stance on, given all the bigger things going on in the world, but I've never listened to podcass on Spotify or any other platform that has exclusiev podcasts without an RSS feed. Because to me the fact that they use an open standard, RSS, is an intrinsic characteristic of podcasts, and anything that doesn't, shouldn't be allowed to call itself a podcast.
Cryptpad (the non-enterprise version anyway) puts the encryption key for its document links after the fragment ('#') which means that doesn't get sent to the servers.

However, anyone using a browser like Chrome, Safari, or Edge that has cloud syncing will be sending this URL to the respective browser manufacturers, which means you're still handing over the documents to Google (or Apple, or Microsoft)
I'm sure you have a great point to make, but you're making it very poorly here.

Experienced developers develop fluency in their tools, such that writing such narrow natural language directives like you suggest is grossly regressive. Often, the tasks don't even go through our head in English like that, they simply flow from the fingers onto the screen in the language of our code, libraries, and architecture. Are you familiar with that experience?

What you suggest is precisely like a fluently bilingual person, who can already speak and think in beautiful, articulate, and idiomatic French, opting to converse to their Parisian friend through an English-French translation app instead of speaking to them directly.

When applied carefully, that technique might help someone who wants to learn French get more and deeper exposure than without a translation app, as they pay earnest attention to the input and output going through their app.

And that technique surely helps someone who never expects to learn French navigate their way through the conversations they need to have in a sufficient way, perhaps even opening new and eventful doors for them.

But it's an absolutely absurd technique for people whose fluency is such that there's no "translating" happening in the first place.

You can see that right?
I also just remembered, these things had option slots. Which I had to use on my III, because I needed more memory to print many kinds of documents / images (I vaguely remember it may have been for printing from AutoCAD). Can't remember a modern printer having add-on circuit boards these days.

> And even research into ways we can look into a living brain is hindered by the fact we don't want to harm the person being observed.

Animal brains are harmed for research all the time. Some species, like Zebrafish can be even imaged real-time at neuronal level.

As the article says, the problem is really that there are no good foundational ideas of what are the basic operating principles of the brain.
> There’s a sadistic element here with the footage. It’s torturing an animal at the very end.

Not intentionally. It takes time for the drone operator to target. There's no torture. And drone attacks are the complete opposite of indiscriminate bombing.

> There should be a clear rules of surrender here.

That would be wonderful if it were possible. But how on earth could you implement it in practice? These attacks take place on Russian front lines, often kilometers away from Ukranian front lines. The drone has enough battery to quickly fly out with a heavy explosive and attack. It doesn't have enough battery to slowly escort a soldier walking back across the no-man's-land. And even if it did, Russian forces would surely be ordered to shoot deserters. Putin doesn't care about losing lives, as evidenced by the entire war.

You can't individually surrender when you're on your own front lines. You have to make it to your enemy's controlled territory first. (An entire unit can surrender, of course, but that's effectively giving your unit's territory to the enemy first. An individual soldier doesn't have territory to give.)
lol ok.
It makes, when you consider, that its all just "measures" by the oil industry to stop society from steering away from it. They either invest in DoA technologies or technologies that allow for greenwashing of fossil fuels.

Beavers? Lets say you want to steer the population away form reasonable environmental goals like high speed rail or public transport (which has to cost something to keep bums out).
You then pick some mad-sob with a insane initiative like "rewild skunks in the inner city parks" and pump that up with donated millions. Result, that mad- as a hatter, propagates his "initiative", riles up the masses and his co-goals - which may include high-speed rail get discredited.

I think everyone cares about updates to some degree. Doesn't have to be about big feature updates, just continuous fixes for various small bugs and performance improvements can improve you user experience quite a bit.
