In practice people catch runtime exceptions all the time so it's treated more as a recoverable error than a bug. Java let's you recover from runtime exceptions as easy as checked exceptions which blurs the distinction.

> And if you are only writing a prototype, declare that it throws Exception, or if you can't, a catch (IOException ex) { throw new UncheckedIOException(ex); } really isn't that bad.

The problem with that is when you go back to do proper error handling you can't easily find all those places where you did this. For instance in Rust, you can find those by searching for `unwrap`.
I’d be interested in 2 or 3 successful show HNs that had positivity, actually, if you want to go searching. I’m not aware of any, and it would be useful to be able to better understand what high volume commenters on HN are good at assessing as far as product goes.

Most (vocal) participants on HN that comment on product launches have almost no understanding of what will make a successful product / company.

I’ll put my money where my mouth is - check my comments on the ethereum launch thread.

I'm probably much nicer to the people I work with, but that's because an enormous amount of money is involved.

You want to have that kind of a conversation, I'll consider letting you tell me what to do, but you need to understand the service I'm providing for free doesn't come with that.

People don't like being told what to do. They are probably going to be in a bad mood if you waste their time with a bold claim that is so obviously false. You are lucky to have someone tell you that the software doesn't work, because you obviously wouldn't know otherwise.

Best of luck.
That's a more realistic and reasonable way for the mention to unfold, but it's still not going to happen. The dealer is (usually) the party servicing the car's warranty, and they will definitely not appreciate or want to support this type of modification when a car is brought in.
Internet reception ?
In ancient China, power and social status were gained through official positions, and merchants were considered the lowest of respectable occupations. This led to the exams attracting many of the "best and brightest" to government service. In modern western countries, being wealthy is the best way to get respect and adulation. The "best and brightest" spend their education learning how to extract value from the rest.
I think some people mistake arrogance as wisdom. It's more prevalent in these days of social media where people mistake strong words and loud proclamation for truth, but I suspect similar things have been happening on a smaller scale in the past.

I'm sorry but I got stuck on the first sentence "Ted Unangst published dude, where are your syscalls? on flak yesterday" and as a long time fediverse operator I got insanely curious about "flak".

So I ended up on the flak tag of this blog[1], but I still can't figure out what it is. I can find no links to any source code, or any service description. Even though the blogger mentions flak being their "signature service".

I'm guessing it's a blogging platform, with ActivityPub support, but I can't find any info about how it's used.

I like many aspects of Rust's error handling, but I think it still lacks the composability part. Its not straightforward to compose two functions that return different failure sets. One thing you can do is to merge enums for both functions, than you lost what failures each individual function can have and having to do that is a lot of unnecessary work. Other option is you can return a boxed trait then you no more encode what errors are return from each function. User has to rely on reading the documentation for what kind of errors can occur.
You can discuss something kosher and have the LLM misinterpret it as something sexually explicit. Yours or their logs will now have all of this miscommunication, and this is a liability. Using models that can’t generate this content even by accident is good legal decision for many. Same goes for images. Stay safe!
>Well, this is probably why functional programming doesn't see a lot of real use in production environments

The usual map/filter/reduce is everywhere in production. Python, java, js, ruby, c#...

You could even argue that lack of generics hurt Go's popularity for a while precisely for that usecase.

Pretty much every day that I comment on HN, at least a couple of the comments I write get to +3 or so by the end of the day, and then in the middle of the night they're at +1 or 0. Consistently. I assume it's this.
I consider an abstraction to be a good abstraction if I don't need to care for its internal workings all the time - whether that's some build step in the CI, or the usage of data structures from simple strings to advanced Cuckoo filters and beyond. Even Python uses a Bloom filter with operations on strings internally AFAIK. Correctness and maintainability trumps performance most of the time, and map, filter and immutability are building blocks to achieve just that. Those constructs won't prevent you from looking deeper and doing something different if you really have to (and know what you're doing), they just acknowledge that you'll probably don't need to do that.

This seems to be less of an issue if the web management interface is not exposed on the Internet for example LAN-facing or exposed WAN-side but not reachable due to CGNAT.
That's because WebGPU is still experimental. This will change, as it's set to replace WebGL.

Fastplotlib / pygfx are primarily meant to run on desktop. When using it via the notebook the server does the rendering.

As Ivo said, we have plans to support running in the browser via Pyodide, which opens some interesting things, but is not the primary purpose.

There are more overlaps with Java. It is gaining value types. Async is built into the runtime (see virtual threads), with preemptive scheduling. Its strings can be represented as bytes internally as well. It also has packages and modules for managing boundaries.

Most of them are overall positive, a few are overwhelmingly positive (it's true even when you exclude silly fun ones and focus on actual products); "had positivity" is such a low bar, it's absurd you're "not aware of any". Even this one has your comment at the top, apparently that doesn't even count as "had positivity" to you.

Moreover, even if 100% of Show HNs get 100% negative commentary, there's still zero logic in the statement "judging by the negativity here you're going to be a massive success".

Edit: Okay you said "successful" Show HNs. Then we'll have to argue about what's successful, and I can't be bothered. But you can go to the all time results instead and I certainly spot a few what I would consider success stories.
What are you talking about?

Nvidia has been a high margin and great performing business for the last decade. Nvidia had better gross margins than apple by selling gaming GPUs only 10 years ago and that's in a market where you can easily exchange the card in a PCIe slot.

From 2015 till 2022, Nvidia had several years with 50-60% revenue growth. People only look at the recent 2 years and think that Nvidia was "OK" before but I'm invested since 2016 because Nvidia started the growth turbo back in 2014/2015.

Jensen decided decades ago that Nvidia is premium and he positions the company in that position. What many don't get, Apple has only 25% unit share but 75% profit share. So Apple basically concentrates the profit of the Smartphone business. Nvidia will do the same. They had better gross margins a decade ago than AMD has today. AMD might gain unit share but will never gain Nvidia's margins because AMD is a market follower and will never be able to set pricing unlike Nvidia with premium solutions.

Jensen also made CUDA possible. Intel on the other hand killed such projects and also their first GPU project. Intel also didn't invest in OpenAI and so on. Jensen is by far the best CEO and fortunately he doesn't get crazy like Musk does.

Rent suffers more from supply and demand because of artificial supply problems.

Wages have increased far more than the price of food over the last 200 years, wage rises aren’t inflationary on their own.
In the first puzzle, the first line is in Hungarian, but the Hungarian letters i18n usually struggles most with are not even there: üö űő, before utf-8 got widespread adoption these characters regulary got messed up when they were passed along multiple systems.

Introducing Gemma 3: The most capable model you can run on a single GPU or TPU

This only works until it doesn't. Start with a model that simply hasn't been trained on anything your shareholders find objectionable, and there will be nothing to reveal with abliteration.
This is a false dichotomy. We can make tech for adults, and children, either with optional settings, filters, or simply multiple versions, managed by their parents or guardians. It's not tech's responsibility to raise every child.

Interesting! Some feedback:

- Try to make it clear in the description that it's software rendering (it's easy to miss this information).

- The readme should include a clear list of features.

- Be aware that the AGPL license might be a problem for many people.
> my objection is that at in its current state people don't think out of the box and propose using the current infrastructure to delegate human functions instead of re-imagining the new world that is possible when working together with AI.

Ah, my bad I missread your initial post.

If I now understand what you're saying, I think there's a paralel in manufacturing, where "custom made bots" on assembly line will win against "humanoid bots" every time. The problem there is that you have to first build the custom-made bots, and they only work on that one task. While a "humanoid" bot can, in theory, do more general things with tools already in place for humans.

I think specialised APIs and stuff will eventually be built for AI agents. But in the meantime everyone wants to be first to market, and the "human facing" UI/UX is all we have. So they're trying to make it work with what's available.
I think you're getting too distracted with the analogies. LLMs have been shown to spit out easily code for patterns that are very common such as todo apps. That isn't very impressive in itself.

LLMs are cool and show some interesting emergent properties, but knowing why they work getting them to make a very common type of app doesn't show a great deal of emergent ability beyond searching a compressed space and reproducing a common pattern found in it.

It's easy to underestimate the amount and variability of the training data used. There are possibly tens of thousands of variations on todo apps available on github alone.
I tried to figure out if we may know each other, I have heard very similar stories from NQ from my grandparents.

It was weird to see you also interested in Erlang security too.. It's a very small world.
>> where the manager verbally assured me I'd be invited back for the next round

That's true, but then the manager shouldn't have made that verbal assurance.

Have an uncensored model loop through nypost articles and ask it to synthesize content from that. Nypost has tons of scandalous content and can easily get spun into erotica by an uncensored model.

It’s unsafe for that reason, so you absolutely needed both censored and uncensored. It wasn’t an accident.
And to add to that, DOGE has been known to cancel contracts where the money has already been paid (so we're effective paying for nothing); SpaceX already has what it needs from this contract and has nothing to lose by cancelling the mission now.
It's just a joke. A bad joke, but just a joke. Republicans are afraid to add Puerto Rico as a state for fear of it voting Democrat, they would never allow Canada to become a state even if you wanted to (or rather, 10 states), because they would never win an election again.
Can confirm, nice to lay on when the temperature and humidity is high.
One thing that we did to account for this was to shift the teams every or every few sprints. It allowed folks to get more experience, still get feedback, since if they built a buggy feature they'd have to fix it, etc.

People seemed much happier with that, because they also didn't get tired of 'always fixing bugs' or never getting the feedback, which you insightfully mentioned.
I think that is what author meant actually.

Downside is there is a lot of startup founders that will need help getting the basics in place.

I worked in place where 2 business guys hired 4-5 freelancers and as freelancers took high salaries not even one of them had any clue about setting up infra or SDLC let alone secure SDLC. They would write the code and not give a damn about anything besides that.

Business guys thought they have great technical guys because they were expensive.
sometimes I read these sentiments in 2025, and read about “Shanidar 1” who lived ~50k years ago and just feel… sad.
There is a lot of talk on culture fit. Most of the talk on "culture fit" is bringing up a hidden layer of discrimination, of one sort of the other - to the detriment of the companies that are applying these rules. Cultural openness is a factor of success, discrimination is leading into the opposite direction - if you ask me.

I actually think it is easier overall for companies and government to provide services in multiple languages than for every individual to have to learn fluent English including businessese and legalese. It is also cheaper to hire some translators and interpreters than to offer free and extensive courses to everybody.

And to refuse to provide services in other languages and then also refuse to offer courses, as in, “you're on your own now, good luck!”, is a real dick move.

All true, except the bit that wgpu-py compiles to WASM. It's all desktop.

In the plans that we do have for running the browser, Fastplotlib, Pygfx and wgpy-py will still be Python, running on CPython that is compiled to WASM (via Pyodide). But instead of wgpu-py cffi-ing into a C library, it would make JS calls to the WebGPU API.
I would dare to whisper that the lack of security suits the NSA just fine. However you can add just about every technically competent nation state, organised crime, major corporations, and a collection of non-state actors. About the only group besides us nomies who I think might really care about this are the payment rails folks as this insecurity facilitates more fraud.
Even though Gemma 3 takes much less inference processing power and delivers better results than DeepSeek v3, I'm certain this won't cause the same Nvidia stock price panic that DeepSeek did.

> Nothing spacex did was a miracle just well executed engineering

There were so many failures that I wouldn't call it "well executed". More like "work hard until it happens to succeed".
Filtering is not necessarily a good user experience and comes with a cost to do. Google making a model they expect there to be demand for is not just an excuse.
Benefit to whom? I only see a benefit to the companies and government here (saving money), but it seems to me that you've forgotten to consider the people.
All emotional reactions are "manipulated" - we choose to expose ourselves to situations wherein we might feel emotional reactions of various sorts. Why is art, "negative" reactions or not, any different?

As another commenter points out, it's a good way of learning - about yourself, how you feel, about other perspectives. It's also, hopefully, a chance to grow - reflect on your past, your mistakes, how you've treated others.
