If it hadn't been for US sanctions preventing the SG2380 being sent to TSMC for manufacturing, we would have at least one RISC-V machine (Milk-V Oasis) competitive with RK3588 (but 16 A78-equivalent cores) right around now.

Also A55 and A72 are quite comparable in practical performance -- on real-world things such as building software, not just micro-benchmarks that only use L1 cache. The Arm SBC market has generally moved away from A74 boards to A55 board with more cores, as they are more energy efficient and cheaper to make too.

Unknown microorganisms used marble and limestone as a habitat
'In the desert areas of Namibia, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, research work has revealed unusual structures that are probably due to the activity of an unknown microbiological life form. Unusually small burrows, i.e., tiny tubes that run through the rock in a parallel arrangement from top to bottom, were discovered in marble and limestone of these desert regions.'
Those protections exist with significant limitations in the conventional financial system. See the widespread abuse of Zelle as an example.

I wonder if adding a static charge to the dust would help it to stay airborne longer.
It's not very well organized.

Why not have a column for which LLMs they give for free, with limits. A column for unique features. A column for pricing.

Right now it's just a wall of text I have to read.
You're right, but your "if" is doing some heavy lifting. A result being able to be generated does not imply that a dataset contained content that resembled the result.

These models are wildly intuitive and can assemble impossible ideas, even when datasets are purged of certain tags. I discovered this early on when I couldn't diagnose why most subjects came out as weirdly child-like elderly people.

It turns out "mature" is not synonymous with "nsfw" when negative prompting, and a person absent of maturity, while not explicitly a child, doesn't quite look like a normal adult human, either.

I don't think the model was trained on a large corpus of very old babies, yet it was able to imagine them. As long as a model knows what the pieces are or are not, it can be prompted assemble them.
Ah yes, wise words from the inflammatory DOGE poster who’s getting flagged and downvoted.
> We already have "Marx-style" price control and regulations in many sectors, specifically food production.

And our food quality in the US is garbage. We can't say if there is causation there since we can't compare against a baseline US food system without subsidies, but there is a correlation in timing between the increase in food subsidies and the decrease in quality.

> Opponents will constantly claim they will lead to massively increasing prices, but they never do.

The only times that really comes up is when an increase is proposed and the whole debate is over politicized. Claims on both sides at those times are going to be exaggerated.

Prices absolutely go up with minimum wage increases. How could they not? It'd be totally reasonable to argue the timeline that matters, prices aren't going to go up immediately. You could also argue the ratio, maybe wage is increased by 30% and prices are only expected to go up by 20%.

People earning a minimum wage almost certainly have pent up demand, they would buy more if they could afford it. Increasing their wages opens that door a bit, they will spend more which means demand, and prices, will go up in response.
I tried it Wow!
The U74-MC on that board’s JH7110 SoC is two 64-bit dual-issue cores at 1.5 GHz, so it’s fair to compare it with the four 64-bit dual-issue cores at 1.2 or 1.4 GHz on the RPi3’s Cortex-A53, or for that matter with something like a 1.0 to 1.4 GHz dual-socket Pentium III system from the early oughts (which would use the P6 32-bit dual-issue microarchitecture from the Pentium Pro).
Yes - I’m just not sure _Europe_ is thinking that way. If your goal is deterring Russia and being able to handle other territorial defense roles, you aren't giving that the same weight.

The pacific theater is also complicated by the high support requirements and limited airfields, which China must have plans to attack early in any war. Again, if you’re primarily focused on defending Europe you have a much easier version of that problem because it’s your territory and most of it is land, not ocean.

The problem is that the road design doesn't fit its usage. In an ideal world the street would be redesign so the driver naturally adopt the desired speed limit.

How effective a PoW firewall is, depends on how conservatively the worst offenders configure their browser engine resource limits.

A small scraper may be able to afford spending the extra CPU cycles, but if you're like AI training bots, sometimes sending hundreds of browser instances at a time, the math becomes different.

From what I've read about the results, it seems like the approach is effective against the very worst scrapers and bots out there.

1 or 0-based index...

I recently picked up Lua for a toy project and I got to say that decades of training with 0-based indexes makes it hard for me to write correct lua code on the first try.

I suppose 1-based index is more logical, but decades of programming languages choosing 0-based index is hard to ignore.
The world had -just- gotten its parents and aunts and uncles and maybe some grandparents trained up on what an IP address is and looks like, and THEN the IETF approved this idiotic standard that said “forget all that, now it’s a bunch of hexadecimal digits with these confusing rules about colons to be ‘user-friendly.’ Also, be sure not to confuse your IPv6 address with the MAC address that’s printed on your devices.”

Whatever the technical merits/demerits of the protocol, I believe this brain-damaged approach to describing addresses is behind the “failure” of IPv6.

If you want to show, show something. The readme shows almost nothing (“A discussion forum made for allopathic practitioners. The application UI resembles Stack Overflow”), in particularly not what features make this “for medical practitioners”.

Also, since when is StackOverflow a discussion forum? I think it’s a collaborative question/answer system. It certainly closes questions that may lead to interesting discussions but are considered to broad or not to have a definitive answer.
> Every junior developer is told they should feel free to ask questions - and now they have a financial incentive not to.

This is such a fine line though, encourage developers to ask questions, but they also need to try problem-solving before they immediately go asking for help. If I _consistently_ get asked for help on problems that I can solve it within 5-10 minutes using no “company knowledge“ (just plain debugging), then that cements someone as “junior” in my mind.

Contrast that with the people who ask lots of questions but they are well thought out questions that require knowledge of the inner workings of the system.

“This isn’t working” vs “I can’t figure out X works, I tried Y and Z but that gave me this error that I don’t understand but I did find….”
That’s a really interesting take. I say that as I’m the opposite — a slow reader — and I, too, cannot stand learning via video.

I’m by no means a weak reader, I love reading and do so often. I just find myself re-reading complex sections to ensure that I understand 100%.

I also like to be able to read something and then follow it on a train of thought. For example, if a post/article says that X causes Y because of Z I want to find out why Z causes it. What causes Z to be etc.

With a video I find this sort of learning to be inefficient and less effective while also making the whole experience a bit rigid. I also find that videos tend to leave out less glamorous details as they don’t video well if that makes sense
I think the problem that developers may feel is that they want to earn more money for being a better developer, but not nessicarily accept more responsibility or spend less time developing code.

I do agree with you that clear progression frameworks are a necessity for transparency and goals for developers, but some may feel daunted by a jump up meaning they don't get to write as much code if L39 (or whatever) starts including responsibilites that pushes you into meetings and convincing.
Apple is not perfectionistic. Apple is performative. The entire company is performing software development instead of actually doing it.

Apple's development process is a marketing pitch-driven hallucination - project management by buzzword and individual career status progression.

It's almost entirely inward-looking. The connection to Rest of World is increasingly mythical and remote.

Some good work gets done in spite of this. But senior management doesn't understand quality - either in the internal sense of having bug-free robust product, or the design sense, where products meet real user needs in a satisfying, creative, and delightful way.

Nice graphic design though. Apple is still the leader there. Processor dev has also been exceptional.

IMO it's time for most of the C-suite to step down and let much younger talent take over and shake things up.
You're right, Anubis sets a week-long cookie:

> exp: The token's expiry week after the token was issued

This is surprising to me because it effectively nullifies Anubis.

> Bots don't maintain session cookies to avoid rate limits

Maybe they don't today, but there's absolutely nothing stopping them adding this, so if Anubis gets any traction, in two days' time they will.
Exactly. Even Trump, whose main policy promise was reducing spending, is currently 12% over budget (4% budget increase requested from congress + 8% that he's actually overspent so far)

I wouldn't say it's more logical. More intuitive perhaps.
London Heathrow closure – Friday 21 Mar 2025
My unfortunate point is that the dev cannot know what the user is doing, and so cannot in principle know what choice to make on behalf of the user in case of a conflict. This is not a code problem. It cannot be solved with code.
But you only need to store enough for a day or two. So you can alternatively just go bigger

I think it’s reasonable for the author to feel like Frontend is a treadmill. It can at times without a doubt be tiring. It certainly was moving much, much faster in the 2010s (although, I think it started to cool down in the 2020s)

I don’t think this specific problem targeted at Frontend or Frontend frameworks is necessarily useful other than to vent. It seems this can be attributed as an effect of swelling technology communities. Frontend has been a community with explosions of ideas, high levels of participation and enthusiasm coupled with opportunities for notoriety and wealth.

One could argue that AI is currently experiencing a similar phenomenon as Frontend did in the 2010s. If it follows a similar trajectory, we’ll be seeing articles about AI treadmills.
can you share how are you using this? Production / side projects?

Would you recommend it for side projects?
More than a line I think the evolution is along the lines of

- there is a decision on how to measure things ( this affects prices taxes and commerce )

- there is an association between the power to enforce a standard and the instruments of that standard

- the measure instruments are generally very straight
Optimally, a sync engine would have the ability to be configed to have the best settings for the project (e.g. central server or completely decentralised). It'd be great if one engine would be so performant/configurable, but having a lot of sync engines to choose from for your project is the best alternative.

btw: excellent questions to ask / insights - about the same I also came across in my lo-fi ventures.

Would be great if someone could assemble all these questions in a "walkthrough" step-by-step interface and in the end, the user gets a list of the best matching engines.

Edit: Mh ... maybe something small enough to vibe code ... if someone is interested to help let me know!
I've legit never known of a place that hires SWEs that matches this description.

> Siri has been close to useless for a decade and a half.

The concrete value-measure for me is whether I would feel any loss as a user if Siri simply disappeared. The answer is no, I would feel no loss.

But this is also true for me if the subject is Gemini, CoPilot, Alexa, &c. For all the money and energy burned, for all the advertising babble and grotesque valuation, I would not as a user be one jot less productive if the invisible Thanos hand of the market made them all disappear at the end of this sentence.
Well the "ER07" on my wash machine display isn’t very informative neither.

OTOH ~10 leds with logos on the 25yo water heating machine works almost perfectly to inform be the current state (auto/manual) and low/high pressure, restart required and maintenance required.

I’m shocked how angry that robot vote makes me feel. I’m not a violent person, but getting played by a robot sets me over the edge in my work day.

Reminds me of a BoingBoing story from years ago about greeter robots being attacked in Japan. Japan has a tradition of verbally greeting customers as they enter the building and large department stores will have dedicated human greeters stationed at the entrance. IIFC this was a large store who replaced human greeters with these robots. Rando customers were attacking these robots. I now know how they feel.
If my desire to make a living without submitting to some all powerful overlord makes me part of the problem, then we disagree on a very fundamental level on what the point actually is.

No, in a country that follows the rule of law, there's no such thing as “for any reason” it must be “reasons provided by laws”. If any bureaucrat can, for no legal reason, expel you, then it's the open door to abuse of power and corruption.

> You don't have a right to visit another country. It's a privilege.

In fact as a French citizen, the US has signed bilateral convention with my country that gives me the right to visit the US under a certain set of formalities depending on the circumstances, and this is reciprocal.
what you said is how China planed before 2019, reality's development makes it impossible to act as previously planned, now, there's 0 chance that the CCP can take back Taiwan without bombs

however, it really depends on the definitions of 'reclaim' and 'win'

China's purpose is not only to take the land, but also to 'reunite' taiwanese people, so you're right about they are going to need to use soft power to achieve this, so yes, it will not be like what the US did to Hawaii and Iraq

btw, I briefly looked through the book you mentioned and was surprised to find that, compared to other Westerners, the author has a very good understanding of China's war history and philosophy. Although it is somewhat one-sided, Chinese military philosophy is very different before and after the Han Dynasty

The M chips are pretty much perfect for this.
Scanning displays like a laser projector or a CRT will flash any individual spot but the illumination is almost continuous, so people have less issues with them.
Because it’s never going away, and it’s always going to be there. It is the lowest common denominator. Also, a shell script generally doesn’t have any other dependencies (modulo writing one that calls jq or something). No risk of solver hell.
Haven't they seen Die Hard 2?! /s

Grid power is hard. Even with local generation failovers for air and ground safety systems, Heathrow is massive and uses a lot of power (1-2MWh/day). It's hard to route around that sort of demand.

I don't disagree that this is something that shouldn't happen, but that's what we say for almost every preventable grid failure. I think this is a national inconvenience rather than a security issue though. There are short-term alternatives which will be used.
You get it off the ground the same way you get a calculator off the ground. You build it as an indispensable & obvious tool.

You have to imagine the auxiliary applications that become possible with this model. Start with useful personal tools and grow it outwards.

This model can ultimately replace every search engine, every social media experience, every e-commerce website, etc. it allows for actually much easier app development, and significantly less compute centralization.

What I am saying is don't look outward for ways to make it happen, look inward. This model goes against every power structure in the world. It disempowers collective entities (corporations, governments, etc) and empowers individuals. In other words, it is completely politically and economically infeasible with the current world order, but completely obvious as the path forward for humanity.

You will not make money pursuing this line of technology.
Show HN: Google Analytics(GA4) alternative with a focus on real-time data
I have built this web analytics tool in about 22 months full time as a solo-dev. The motivation was to be able to monitor my 50+ websites in a single metric (like a counter or a chart) to detect variations compared to the same day last week. Also I wanted to be able to fully customize my dashboards (I'm only interested in some metrics).

The project is centered around real-time data but includes all the features that a GA4 can offer (reports, funnels, custom events, etc..).

The tech stack for the data processing pipeline is using Go, NodeJS, Redis and Postgresql+timescaledb. The frontend is made with Laravel, MySQL, ReactJS and some websockets ofc.
Thank you for sharing this one. I love it.

RAG was dead on arrival because it uses the same piss-poor results a human would, wrapped in more obfuscation and unwanted tangents.

My question is why the degradation of search wouldn't affect LLMs. These chatbot god-oracle businesses are already unprofitable because of their massive energy footprint, now you expect them to build their own search engine in-house to try to circumvent SEO spam? And you expect SEO spam to not catch up with whatever tricks they use? Come on, people.
Is there a way to use typescript without pulling in all of npm? That’s the deal breaker for me, maybe others as well.
Because then some people make a career out of causing crimes.
Gemma3 1B seems to be able to choose which tool to use for very simple cases, if you constrain using anyOf, and narrow it down to just a few with RAG first.

It can't understand numbers very well though, "one thousand five" might become "1500".

JSON constraints seem to make them unable to figure it out even if they'd normally get it every time.

Maybe it's different with models above 4B though.
Twenty years ago you would use IM protocols and forums; IRC and Usenet were for die hard hardcore nerds/geek/academics.
> Why do people keep parroting this false trope?

Because it looks consistent, it's incredibly close to actual facts and it serves the narrative well.

But yeah, it is false.

First of all, broadly speaking, Budapest memorandum was not broken at a scale people think it was. The memorandum is quite short, go read it and decide for yourself whether it was failed. Bear in mind that the memorandum has no legal consequences, it's not binding at all.

Second, what you have said about the nukes is mostly correct. I have been living in Ukraine since before the independence and up until the war and let me tell you: people in the West have no idea how poor Ukraine was at the time. A wasteland. There was no funds to fuel ambulances in Kiev, let alone maintain the extremely expensive nukes. Nukes have an expiration date, and they would be rendered useless by the time Ukraine scrambled funds to maintain even a single one of them. Leave alone the fact that there was no (extremely expensive and complex) service facilities, no fissile material to maintain the nukes and no ways to procure or produce one.

Third, people in the west have no idea how corrupt Ukraine was (and I hate to say it - is). There is no doubt at all that some of the nukes would be lost.

So, there is no conceivable scenario in which Ukraine gets to keep and maintain those nukes in the nineties.

(I hate to say all of it as I am ukrainian.)

I don't believe that's true at all. LLMs, especially reasoning models, tend to be quite good at calling out gaps in their knowledge and understanding.
