It sounds like that is what people are listening to, and Spotify is capable of recognising that demand and creating an efficient enough market that the market can respond to that demand. The old way was that consumer demand was filtered through the suits at the big music labels: if they didn't want to push musicians to make a particular kind of music, it wouldn't get made and published in a way accessible to the people that desired it, no matter how much they did.

This gets painted as a bad thing but maybe it isn't? It isn't like there is no good music. There is just more of it, and much of it is pretty boring. If a large contingent of people want boring music, it seems like they've got what they want. And I can keep listening to good music. Win win?

The author also confuses what the market encourages producers to create with what artists actually create:

>The fact that no money is paid out if a song is listened to for less than 30 seconds has come close to killing the idea of a slow-burning intro (if they were modern creations, there would be no hope for such songs as David Bowie’s Sound and Vision, or the Temptations’ Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone).

I don't think David Bowie would have not made his music if it has been bad for the "format". This is like saying that Pink Floyd wouldn't have made 20-minute-long tracks in the 70s because they couldn't have sold them as singles. Except they did! Artists create what they want to create not just what market forces encourage them to create. That is part of what makes art art.
Neither does the US (President or PM, which they don't have). ;)
Claude code is surprisingly good. It's easily another 2x speed up over my previous AI enabled software development (copilot + chatgpt).

It's not a replacement for a SWE today, but it allows a SWE to get a lot more done.

I feel the current system is constrained in 2 dimensions: overall integration ( writing a feature and then using/testing it to make sure all the relevant cases are covered) and still limited context ( in a bigger code base there are utility functions and conventions that it doesn't always follow and so it introduces subtle bugs).

However, it's not like a new software engineer would get all of these things right as well.

The future of coding seems really to be a lot more review and test based vs. hand crafting all the details. That being said, you should keep your eye on what makes your app unique. Chances are high that it doesn't get these things right without enough guidance.
Also the more accuracy that is put into the prompt and attached, the more accurate the processing is.

My gut says OPFS should be faster. Though I’d love to see some benchmarks, too.
"pseudo" (whatever that is) anonymity without privacy is worthless since its trivial to deanonymize anything if you just follow the forever publicly visible trail. Its a detrimental weakness regardless whatever cope you try to sell it as to justifiy the numbers keep going up regardless of actual utility as currency where the price is irrelevant because the real world already shows which is used for gambling and which as exchange for value.

Previous poster mentioned he owns an MG, not Tesla.

I can't speak about their particular models but all EV have accelerator by wire were acceleration/power is electronically managed to avoid risks of wheelspins. Not all brands offer gimmicks such as "ludicrous mode" and launch control systems and most will prefer offering a default power management that favors range over acceleration.

So many can accelerate faster than comparable ICE vehicles, but not necessarily stupidly fast nor dangerous. Some even launch ridiculously slowly in standard settings.
Which EVs?
Aider seems to have fed or inspired a lot of the coding tools out there with some of Aider's breakthroughs.

Yes, except half of the list isn't made of prominent people. Whose stock price was Eliezer boosting when he was talking about these things 15 years ago?

Nah, it's more that the masses got exposed to those ideas recently - ideas which existed long ago, in obscurity - and of course now everyone is a fucking expert in this New Thing No One Talked About Before ChatGPT.

Even the list GP gave, the specific names on it - the only thing that this particular grouping communicates is one having no first clue what they're talking about.
Typical Hacker News comment. Absolutely no clue about what they are talking about, yet making their comment with complete certainty.
A lot of people whoa re boycotting some American goods are quite likely to buy Chinese instead so why not?

Also, in terms of privacy Russia and the Western countries will not cooperate - so Yandex or the Russian authorities will not be able to get much information on us, nor will anyone in the West get as much information from Yandex as they would from a Western search engine.
I remember reading the origin article for that prompt example and laughing at how long it likely took to write that essay when typing "hikes near San Francisco" into your favoured search engine will do the same thing, minus the hallucinations.
Rules are best handled by automated tools with as few configuration options as possible - like gofmt or black.

This way people won't start bikeshedding about the placement of curly braces, they either accept the style or move on.

It also prevents things from getting political or personified. It's the tool that's making the decisions, not a specific person.

Probably rage-bait.
I recently made some benchmarking from python 3.9 to 3.13
And up to 3.11 it only got better. Python 3.12 and 3.13 were about 10% slower than 3.11.

I thought my homemade benchmark wasn't great enough so I deployed it to a core service anyway and I saw same changes in our collected metrics.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
A project should have an .editorconfig setup that automatically hints or enforces the correct code style in the IDE.
Trump reminds me of someone trying to finish the last side of a rubiks cube by undoing every other side in that pursuit by not paying attention to them.

I think he'll continue to be the main cause of constraints to realizing his visions maximally.

For this reason, once we can look back on this time in retrospect, there's a way this plays out where he may just be a horse that ran away. [0]

Sure — as my friend likes to say, "Democracy is the rule of the democrats". Recent developments have proven him right.
By "capitalist," I'm referring to investors whose primary contribution is capital, not making a political statement about capitalism itself.

Capital is crucial when tools and infrastructure are expensive. Consider publishing: pre-internet, starting a newspaper required massive investment in printing presses, materials, staff, and distribution networks. The web reduced these costs dramatically, allowing established media to cut expenses and focus on content creation. However, this also opened the door for bloggers and digital news startups to compete effectively without the traditional capital requirements. Many legacy media companies are losing this battle.

Unless AI systems remain prohibitively expensive (which seems unlikely given current trends), large corporations will face a similar disruption. When the tools of production become accessible to individuals and small teams, the traditional advantage of having deep pockets diminishes significantly.
I'm reading hn - your comment - at the doctors. I'm early, she's gonna be, of course, slightly delayed = free hn time, for me.
You show one example where C doesn't have problems, but that's a much weaker claim than it sounds. "Here's one situation where this here gun won't blow your foot off!"

For what it's worth, C++ also passes your test here. You picked an example so simple that it's not very interesting.
In C# the quasi mandatory async/await for everything has many downsides, particularly for debugging. It breaks all stack traces. It also makes it impossible to pause the code.

The fundamental problem is that the browser is too complicated, and thus a natural monopoly. Severing Chrome from Google is simply to pass the peasant-beating stick to Apple. The solution is to cut browser functionality down to a size that more companies (or even individuals) can manage. Even though it’s open-source, googzilla (Google + their “nonprofit” antitrust insurance policy) adds hostilities faster than volunteers can remove them. Things only got this bad because Google has so much power over your visibility on the web. If they say “jump!”, most people are going to respond, “how high?”
Actually even here, C has some problems (and C++), too:

I don't think the standard says much about how to handle stack overflows?
You want Qatar to be your role model?
Don't Think Too Much (DTTM) Proxy for Qwen/QwQ-32B
Qwen/QwQ-32B is a great model, but it tends to think for a long time. OpenAI models have a reasoning_effort parameter, Anthropic models have a thinking.budget_tokens option, however, with open-source llms there isn't a built-in system to decide for how long and for how many tokens the llm thinks. Until now! This proxy adds a max_thinking_chars parameter that allows configuring the max number of characters that the LLM is allowed to think for.
Russia is like a kid playing with matches. I'm a noob when it comes to aviation, but AFAIK RNAV GPS approaches are quite common? Disrupting that is dangerous.
Probably not, not nearly enough material remained to make an accurate clone. The article mentions 70% recovery rate; according to the internet, humans share 98% of DNA with chimpanzees (and 35% with daffodils), so unless you have 100% or 99.9999% of the DNA, the clone will be imperfect at best and a Thing That Should Not Be at worst.
It's possible to deal with it, but one must want to deal with it, plus the "costs" like increased weight, BOM, etc.

EV makers don't want to and it's a problem even with the very low bar is consumer equipment

There are Chinese modded 4090s with 48 and 96 GB of ram that seem like a sweet spot for fast inference of these moderately sized models.
> such that they have restricted what a citizen can do with it

My grandfather, born in Canada and later naturalized as a US citizen, got his ham ticket back in the 1960s, but, as he wrote: "This was O.K. for one year but to renew & become general I would have to obtain more than just a US passport; It would be necessary to get a certificate of citizenship. This took years and during those years I landed up in the Dom. Republic & got my Ham ticket there without it, HI3XRD."

He later moved to Miami. When Hurricane David came through the D.R. in 1979, he was one of the ham volunteers who helped handle communications from the island.

Oh, and he never got Extra because while he could manage 13 wpm for General or Advanced, he couldn't manage the 20 wpm for Extra.
Establishing fascist military regimes all over the Americas, Europe and Asia might have been good for longterm peace and stability, and esp. US companies and global trade, but not so for the oppressed civilians and workers.

Comes mostly from comparing interiors in my experience. A camry has a full interior and is still ~400lbs lighter. If you compare minimal interior to minimal interior you're getting into Dacia with extra dynamat territory (can't think of a largeish stock ICE with good sound deadening and minimal interior) which is safe <1500kg. A Jogger is apparently 1261 kg kerb.

It's not a generic thing that's applicable to "everyone". For most(?) people aspartame is just fine. Science is weird with stuff that's not universal, it requires too much studying and narrowing the exact prerequisites and people just give up (or don't get funding).

For others (like me) aspartame is not OK in some cases. I can either drink aspartame and ingest no sugar. Or I can drink sugary drinks. Both are fine.

But if I have both a diet coke AND sugary sweets -> my intestines produce gases that are considered a war crime even by Putin.

No idea why, but it just happens.
French and German results :)

That may work for finding a pizza near you, but most of the content on the web is in English and like it or not, English is the most common language even across the EU.

Separating the EU internet across languages doesn't look like such a good idea to me. Except for getting funding from the nazi parties.

I'm using Kagi (and really loving it - when I have to go back to Google which I rarely do nowadays, I'm really shocked by the terrible noise/signal ratio) - and watching their business with interest.

It seems to me that there are always spaces in a market for companies that aren't necessarily looking for world domination in a segment, but just want a sustainable business which does their thing pretty well. ie - Kagi doesn't have to be The Google Killer, it just has to work well enough that people like me give them money and like what they get in return.

Kagi became profitable in 2024 after 2 years of business, and that's even with the (probably considerable?) (current) costs of using Google's index. If they carry on being a niche business, but one that continues to grow (currently 41k members [0]) then that works nicely for me, and presumably lots of other people like me. They don't have to be "general search", they just have to be good enough that people pay for it.

I've heard however that the EPYC rigs are in practice getting very low tokens/sec and the Macs like the Ultras and high memory are getting much beter - like by an order of magnitude. So in that sense, the only sensible option now (i.e. "local energy efficient LLM on a budget") is to get the Mac.
Thinking on how to save things long term is a fun exercise. If I were super rich and felt that highly of myself, I would totally build a monument to myself built to last the ages; elevated (against flooding), tonnes of erosion resistant rock, a library of all human knowledge in many different formats, sealed off. But with an exact copy near it for tourists.

Is llama.cpp's CUDA implementation decent? (e.g. does it use CUTLASS properly or something more low level)
Let's be honest, with the rise of China in power, now globalism is not viewed as beneficial anymore.
In Romania there is a saying, "If someone jumps off the roof, you don't have to follow him." This applies to the current trend of breaking the law established by Mr. Trump and his team. As in Ukraine, definitely there is an interest in Romania's natural resources, and Georgescu is offering them in exchange for gaining the presidency. https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1894521825310228765 (min 25)
Basically, now that rare elements resources are limited from China, they need to look for other cheap sources like Eastern European countries, similar to Ukraine.
Ceausescu had this "living in the Golden Age" brainwashing campaign while people were starving in dark & cold apartments. Georgescu is also promoting a similar false narrative and is trying to awaken a nationalist broken group that was buried during the transition to EU and democracy.

Can you give an example? I've seen lots of perfectly good stack traces in async code - no problems at all.

This story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich.

I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to find a photo you took on your phone now

At this stage it looks like it's just a prototype/technology demonstrator for testing.

Other articles have mentioned testing automated refueling systems for this vessel, which implies a longer term patrol role.

Other naval vessels of similar displacement seem to generally have a range around 1500-2500 nm.

(All guesswork I'm afraid!)
Any particular part? I'm maybe not following the specifics, but this is similar to the `elUserCards` example I gave? JSX is regular JavaScript, so you can use regular functions, maps, variables, default arguments etc. to generate repetitive HTML, just like you would to generate repetitive strings or JSON, without having to learn a new language.
I bet fans will not react to this. They believe their genius is at work.
I'm trying to find out about that as well as I'm considering a local LLM for some heavy prototyping. I don't mind which HW I buy, but it's on a relative budget and energy efficiency is also not a bad thing. Seems the Ultra can do 40 tokens/sec on DeepSeek and nothing even comes close at that price point.

I've tried Dutch answers and it is more than happy to hallucinate and give me answers that are very "American". Doesn't help that our culture is very inspired by the US pop culture as well since the internet.

Haven't tried prompt engineering with the Dutch stereotype, though.
When the code has hit the IR in clang or gcc, there is no 'a' (we know that with certainty, since SSA form doesn't mutate but assigns to fresh variables). We don't know if there will be an increment of 1, the additions could be coalesced (or elided if the result can be inferred another way). The number can even decrease, say if things have been handled in chunks of 16, and needs to be adjusted down in the last chunk. Or the code may be auto-vectorized and completely rewritten, so that none of the variables at the C level are reflected on the assembler level.
Recently discovered this behaviour, I think I had just always assumed that e.g. operator<< was declared linked to the class, rather than just in a randomly searched namespace.

We were using the fmt library, and had `using namespace fmt` so that we could just call print(), format() directly. Suddenly, some of our calls (all that used std::strings as arguments) started failing as "ambiguous". We traced it to an updated dependency that... now included <chrono>. chrono includes format as part of it's formatting capabilities, so the compiler knows that the namespace object exists.

I find it crazy that it's impossible to bypass and say "no, I really do want this name". This seems to entirely defeat the point of namespaces. Now we have to have fmt:: sprinkled everywhere.

Fuck'n language.
> If something was not written in a book I could not invent it unless it was a rather useless variation of a known theory. __More annoyingly, I found it very hard to challenge the status-quo__, to question what I had learned.

(__emphasis__ mine)

As if "challenging the status-quo" was the goal in the first place. You ain't gonna get any Einstein by asking people to think inside the "outside the box" box. "Status quo" isn't the enemy, and defying it isn't the path to genius; if you're measuring your own intellectual capacity by proxy of how much you question, you ain't gonna get anywhere useful. After all, questioning everything is easy, and doesn't require any particular skill.

The hard thing is to be right, despite both the status-quo and the "question the status-quo" memes.

(It also helps being in the right time and place, to have access to the results of previous work that is required to make that next increment - that's another, oft forgotten factor.)

Quite interesting post that asks the right question about "asking the right questions". Yet one aspect I felt missing (which might automatically solve this) is first-principles-based causal reasoning.

A truly intelligent system — one that reasons from first principles by running its own simulations and physical experiments — would notice if something doesn't align with the "textbook version".

It would recognize when reality deviates from expectations and ask follow-up questions, naturally leading to deeper insights and the right questions - and answers.

Fascinating in this space is the new "Reasoning-Prior" approach (MIT Lab & Harvard), which trains reasoning capabilities learned from the physical world as a foundation for new models (before evening learning about text).

Relevant paper: "General Reasoning Requires Learning to Reason from the Get-go."
