Are you really confused when people don't think 3 operations constitutes "long"?
I would guess anyone with half a brain would agree 3 operations is not long, maybe 5 or 6 and you will have many people agreeing, and above that most.

That would make American businesses very happy, but what would be so good for China? There's a reason they made the decision to artificially suppress domestic consumption in favor of building a strong manufacturing base and export-focused economy, and it seems to be working well for them.

Here is the code I use to detect available CPU features at runtime and dispatch the correct kernels - https://github.com/ashvardanian/StringZilla/blob/main/c/lib....

There are also several AVX-512 kernels for different CPU generations, so it’s obviously longer than just checking for AVX.
One big difference is that Fastplotlib is based on GPU tech, so its capable of rendering much larger datasets interactively.
I've also had the experience where the CTO was activly coding, 80% of the code base were theirs, and the company was hiring software engineers who could and wanted to fix up their stuff - there was this true luxury problem for this start-up: bad bugs everywhere, but patient and resilient customers. They found 4 willing engineers with good chemistry at first, at least up until they were constantly vetoed by the CTO in their decisions, because the teams best practices conflicted with the CTO-way of "getting things done" - it's a rigid hierachy after all, and not a democracy.
So far I'm happy with the choice. The ecosystem is mature, the build tools (maven/gradle) are solid to build this more complicated project, JavaFX works well enough to realize cross-platform applications, and the performance with modern JIT compilation from GraalVM is good. Currently I'm not missing something important from the tech stack.

Next week, when JDK 24 is released for the general availability, I plan to immediately switch to that as there will be additional performance gains with Project Leyden's AOT compilation and Project Liliput's memory improvements. So I'm positive for the future.

If you’re a heart donor, you have been diagnosed as “brain dead”. This means that even though your heart is still beating and you’re drawing breath, your ECG is a flatline, and there is no hope of recovery (with our current medical technology)

That means that your grieving next of kin have decided (for you, since you no longer have conscious thoughts) that your last act on this planet will be an act of kindness. You will give your heart, lungs, eyes, etc to someone that can still make use of them. The last thing you will do, is saving the life of someone.

So yes, they (directly or indirectly) stop the heart.

And that is a good thing.

I have seen a few of these tools and yet to see usefulness further than not having to edit config manually for each client. Wishlist for something I would use:

- Always run MCP in a sandbox

- If I am gonna browse open source MCP and try them out casually, I need to control permission better than approving tool calling blindly. I prefer to auto approve all calls but control permission for directory access (if run outside of sandbox), or network calls based on configurable criteria

- An UI for tracking of calls

> Education and understanding of a topic for the most part does not sway peoples' opinion. And democracy shouldn't be about that, because then it becomes a game of "who can convince the most people" and "who can indoctrinate the most", rather than simply being the will of the people that they naturally form as part of existing as individuals and interacting with the world around them.

It sounds like you're saying understanding of a topic should come second to how citizens "feel" about it. There's no denying that's how it is much of the time, but should it be?

People, as part of existing as part of the world, naturally form hatred or distrust of various groups of people based on their personal interactions. How is it healthier for society to act on those feelings, vs electing people and building institutions that act based on reason and good faith?

We still use the Gen 2 constantly, with an old, dumb TV, it's the way we consume the modern services. If it would not come back to life, I'd probably think about an Apple TV, or perhaps an entirely new TV. Still, that's quite some e-waste this cert expiry is causing. How nice the world would be if the software for such devices was open sourced... Or if there would be some open alternative.

That's true of the compilation step, but type-checking always uses `tsc`. They're no TS spec, so it's very hard to build a fully-compatible competing implementation. Erasing the types syntactically is a lot easier.

Very cool open release. Impressive that a 27b model can be as good as the much bigger state of the art models (according to their table of Chatbot Arena, tied with O1-preview and above Sonnet 3.7).

But the example image shows that this model still makes dumb errors or has a poor common sense although it read every information correctly.
Still lower case, though. Joining the ranks of other cool companies like nationwide. I reckon some giant lame brand like Tesco or Walmart will go lower case soon, finally ending the trend.
The way I see it is that Nvidia might reacht $1 trillion in revenue before AMD reaches $100 billion in revenue. So the upside in revenue growth is higher for Nvidia.

People think that because a company has grown very large very quickly that it can't grow as much anymore. But on the other hand, there is clear evidence that Nvidia continues to dominate AMD's offerings despite the latter having a competitive product now. So the metric for Nvidia isn't Nvidia vs. AMD but the growth aspect of AI market overall.
I've been thinking about human communication and how much it changed over time.
It crazy to think that before the printing press, the most efficient form of communication was word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth only conveys a very vague, unreliable description of reality. Communication was unreliable. People knew they could not fully trust what was communicated to them; not only because the original material may not be reliable, but people knew the message could have been distorted as it propagated through the population 'Chinese Whispers' effect.

Then with the printing press, communication became a lot more reliable; people did not have to worry about 'Chinese Whispers' anymore, they knew that what was printed likely came directly from the source...

Then photography came along. People trusted photos completely for a time. It was high-resolution evidence; wars could be started over it. Then as photo-editing tech became more powerful, people started to doubt photography but then video came along and created a new medium for reliable communication which was hard to fake. CGI never got quite to the level that it could not be distinguished from reality.

Now AI is making video unreliable... We will have no way to verify the authenticity of detailed visual communication. So we will lose trust in it.

Maybe something like blockchain will help us to get back to a certain level of communication reliability in terms of source authentication... but the resolution has been lost permanently. We will never again be sure if something really happened with quite the same level of certainty. We go back to a kind of 'printing press' level of reliability.

The resolution of the communication (the amount of detail) doesn't add to its reliability anymore. We shouldn't underestimate how much of a role video has played in creating the highly centralized over-trusting society which we have today.

Would people give governments so much power if they couldn't even agree with certainty about who said what and even who won the election?

That's a bullshit excuse. The Chinese model creators live in a totalitarian dictatorship where porn is banned and the creators could be arbitrarily jailed, but even they don't go to such effort to censor their open source models (there's censorship on their hosting websites but minimal if you run the models locally).
There's no such thing as a native language unless you're talking about machine code.

It's kind of annoying how even someone like Hejlsberg is throwing around words like "native" in such an ambiguous, sloppy, and prone-to-be-misleading way on a project like this.

"C++" isn't native. The object code that it gets compiled to, large parts of which are in the machine's native language, is.

Likewise "TypeScript" isn't non-native in any way that doesn't apply to any other language. The fact that tsc emits JS instead of the machine's native language is what makes TypeScript programs (like tsc itself) comparatively slow.

It's the compilers that are the important here, not the languages. (The fact that the TypeScript team was committed to making sure the typescript-go compiler is the same (nearly line-for-line equivalent) to the production version of the TypeScript compiler written in itself really highlights this.)

That people find ways to be less-than-happy regardless of material conditions. That does not mean the world is fundamentally zero sum. Actually I would argue that choosing to compete for the same things that everyone else wants, like living in the same places, is choosing a zero sum game where it is not needed.
PDL: Perl Data Language
Let’s look at all these things.

Land - Land transfers are almost non existent since WW2 at national levels because instead of spending immense resource fighting over land, countries have realized it’s much more useful to make the land they own more productive. One very clear datapoint to demonstrate this is the massive shift of people from rural to urban locations.

We are not even close to maxing that out, and with populations plateauing in most countries we will likely never reach that situation.

Attractive spouses - Not really. What counts as attractive changes. But also, no matter what you choose as your marker for “attractive”, there are almost ceetainly gonna be more “attractive” people in a world where everyone has a basic standard of living, so even this can be grown drastically in a non zero-sum world.

Desirable jobs - Zero sum thinking hurts the broader economy reducing the overall number of jobs. The claimed problem with the U.S. bu the zero sum proponents of a shortage of desirable jobs is actually the opposite. The reality is that the US has built a society where all that’s left are desirable jobs and Americans are simply unwilling to do undesirable jobs. Americans could have easily competed with the Chinese, if they were willing to earn below subsistence levels of income while working 72+ hours of hard labor every week.

Instead the U.S. trades those jobs to the Chinese and took advantage of the surplus value these created for Americans bh doing jobs like finance, software, law and teaching.

The problem with the U.S. is pretty evident in the numbers. The U.S. is richer than ever. However, the U.S. decides to use the massive wealth it was generating and redistribute it upwards to a tiny percentage of people at the top of society.

This is domestic policy that has screwed Americans, not the rest of the world.

And the reason this domestic policy exists is because newer American oligarchs forgot the non zero-sum thinking lessons of the older American oligarchs, famously, Henry Ford, who understood correctly that for him to be richer, his employees needed to be richer.

Show HN: I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood
I built MoodieMovie, a web app that recommends films based on how you're feeling right now. Select emotions like "cheerful," "reflective," or even "weird," and get curated movie suggestions that match your current state of mind.
Features:
Mood-based algorithm that actually works (no more scrolling endlessly through streaming services)
Magazine-style TOP100 section showcasing essential cinema
Simple, intuitive UI with smooth animations
Detailed movie pages with shareable links
Tech stack: Next.js, Framer Motion, and a custom algorithm that maps emotional states to film characteristics. All movie data comes from a carefully curated database.
Would love feedback from the HN community on both the recommendation engine and UI/UX!
