The main value add of buying a brand new seat has always been that unless someone repackaged and returned one (which does happen), there is 0% chance it is post crash. That is the whole point of used car seats, if you are too broke to buy a new one it is almost always better than nothing and the proposition is you assume some risk but less risk than before.

How does it work if I wanted to construct a type (and maybe a set of helper types. some related functions, etc.), rather than an instance of a type?

If I just wanted to construct an instance of a specific type at compile time in Rust, I'd probably be using a const fn instead of a macro.

Video encoding is two domains. And there's surprisingly little overlap between them.

You have your real time video encoding. This is video conferencing, live television broadcasts. This is done fixed-function not just for power efficiency, but also latency.

The second domain is encoding at rest. This is youtube, netflix, blu-ray, etc. This is usually done in software on the CPU for compression ratio efficiency.

The problem with fixed function video encoding is that the compression ratio is bad. You either have enormous data, or awful video quality, or both. The problem with software video encoding is that it's really slow. OP is asking why we can't/don't have the best of both worlds. Why can't/don't we write a video encoder in OpenCL/CUDA/ROCm. So that we have the speed of using the GPU's compute capability but compression ratio of software.

I've seen the same "Superficial Self-Reflection" mentioned in their linked blog post[0] as well, where the conclusion doesn't naturally follow the output of the thinking tokens. I think people are fooled by this, but if you take the time to inspect the "chain of thought" tokens they often don't match the final output answer.

I don't deny that performance for certain logic tasks goes up with these models but I don't fully understand what role the thinking tokens take in these cases.

As per the article:

"""
The IMLS has a $313 million annual budget and about 70 employees. Its stated goal is to “advance, support, and empower America’s museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development.

Local libraries are mostly funded by local tax dollars, but the funding they do get from the federal government goes towards things like employee training and technology updates. This is especially critical in more remote areas.

"""

IMLS activities don't directly fund most libraries and museums but the training, surveys, but they have an impact on the quality of libraries and museums all over our country.

I'd encourage HN readers to read about the work of IMLS directly:

Or at least until the DOGE-ies destroy and/or censor the IMLS website (probably in progress).
Quick Update: Introducing Architect-Zero in the Evolving Agents Toolkit

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your feedback on the Evolving Agents Toolkit! Here's a quick update on an exciting new addition: Architect-Zero, a meta-agent built to autonomously create multi-agent solutions.

Architect-Zero includes several significant improvements:

Embedded Evolution Strategies: Replacing basic self-improvement prompts with advanced, targeted evolution methods built directly into the tools.

Pure ReAct SystemAgent: Now fully capable of reasoning and adapting its strategies autonomously without relying on fixed logic.

Agent Bus: A new system for agents to discover and communicate efficiently, allowing seamless coordination across distributed setups.

Currently, Architect-Zero is showing promise in practical scenarios, such as financial invoice analysis and healthcare assessment systems, autonomously designing teams of agents capable of managing complex tasks.

Please note that the toolkit is actively under development. The ultimate aim is to achieve robust production capabilities, but more improvements—especially to the Agent Bus—are needed before reaching that stage.

Explore the latest updates and examples:

GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/matiasmolinas/evolving-agents

Run new examples:
python evolving_agents/financial_example.py
python evolving_agents/medical_example.py

Your ongoing feedback is very important. Feel free to share your thoughts on Architect-Zero and these recent updates!
You do realize there is a difference between cooperating with the CPSC on data that one has, and implementing a centralized top-down tracking regime and forcing individuals to conform to it, right?

You also do realize that there is a difference between a business selling many copies of the same item repeatedly, and individuals selling things one off, right?

If you don't, then maybe you need to learn about these things in the context of existing regulations before spouting off nonsense comments bashing strawmen.

Another big one that should make this whole topic moot: A corpo is a government created liability shield. The tradeoff of getting that liability shield is extra regulation to prevent easily-knowable liabilities. And remember, the sine qua non of a corpo is itself compelled speech.
Well, no. In an ideal world yes. But that's not our world. There doesn't have to be some way to reach everyone that has ever purchased a product. For the vast majority of the history of things being sold that has not been the case. It wasn't even in the realm of possibility.

It would be nice. It would save lives and avoid tragedy. It is not required, and failure is an option. We've been failing for a long time already.

If we have to do it, it's a simple matter of finding who has the capability to do so and force them to, as you say. But we don't. Forcing someone to do only because they can is a tricky proposition.

People in Russia did the opposite of that. People in Russia were conditioned by decades of violent dictatorship and were either afraid to make a noise or actively wanted the strongman fascist rule. And the guy in power is actual ex KGB. There's a difference

> need to be kept in check.

Keeping in check != assuming the worst. Assuming the worst from everybody is how no one would get anything done. e2ee, like any tech not bad or good inherently helps both goodies and baddies. Not turning blind eye on this is important first step. Even if your gov doesn't get a backdoor now they will keep at it until they find a way because voters who are not extremist libertarian techbros want them to. Your way out is to help them find a good enough way witg a compromise.

It is more nuanced than that. First, the Solaris 11.4 documentation says that this is not allowed:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E72487/link-8.html

The illumos man page is less clear:

https://illumos.org/man/8/link

The illumos ZFS driver makes it very clear that this is not allowed under POSIX in a comment and explicitly disallows it in zfs_link():

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/...

However, It appears that the illumos UFS driver supports this:

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/...

Presumably, the Solaris 10 UFS driver also supports it (or supported it in older versions of Solaris 10). Given that someone at Oracle likely modified the Solaris man page to differ from the older OpenSolaris man page in illumos, I would expect recent versions of Solaris to disallow this on UFS, but someone would need to check.

That said, I have to recant my previous comment. smw likely linked the directory, which is insane, but would have worked on older Solaris versions if we assume the modern illumos UFS driver is unchanged in this regard.
If you can model your mutation as a database transaction, then that's probably the best. In the past, we've wanted these kinds of solutions when performing actions that weren't in a transactional database. E.g. third party APIs, multiple databases, non-transactional databases, work assignments, rolling restarts and other risky control plane changes. Also a lot of databases can degrade performance when transactions are held open (e.g. in postgres, an open transaction will prevent the cleanup of dead tuples across all tables, which can cause pathological slowdowns in certain workloads), so you might want to move long-held locks out of your database.
The Solaris VFS is flexible enough for a filesystem to support this, but any filesystem that does violates POSIX according to a comment in ZFS. A check of the illumos UFS driver source code reveals that it violates POSIX by permitting root to do this. I wrote more about this with links to relevant illumos source code here:

> I'm not sure we're using the same terminology. Committed means the transaction has been hardened to disk. That's the D in ACID.

Yes, the transaction is committed when the transaction is durably written to disk. However, there's not a great API for durably writing to disk, you can write on an FD (or on a mmaped file) and it'll get written eventually hopefully. fsync asks the OS to confirm the writes on an FD are committed durably, but is not without its quirks.

> Otherwise, is the suggestion that there be an artificial delay to allow other transactions to piggyback before returning success on commit 1?

Not really an artificial delay. More that if you have multiple transactions waiting to be comitted, you shouldn't commit them to disk one at a time.

Instead, write several to disk, then fsync, then send commit notices.

A responsible database engine writes transaction data to an FD, then does an fsync, then signals completion to the client; then moves onto the next transaction right?

The suggestion is because fsync is rate limited and blocks further writes while it's pending, you can get better throughput by writing several transactions before calling fsync. The database engine still doesn't signal completion until an fsync after a transaction is written, but you have more data written per fsync. There is a latency penalty for the first transaction in the batch, because you must wait for writes for the whole batch to become durable, but because you're increasing throughput, average latency likely decreases.

Really, there's a fundamental mismatch between the capabilities of the system, the requirements of the database engine, and the interface between them. Synchronous fsync meets the requirements, but an asynchronous fsync would be better for throughput. Then the database engine could write transaction 1, call for fsync 1, write transaction 2, call for fsync 2, etc and once the responses came in, signal commits to the relevant clients. Having more requests in pipeline is key to throughput in a communicating system.

This is probably written by someone who works with C# much more than with Typescript.

There's nothing here about narrowing, (proper) type inference, union and intersection types etc...

When I tried C#, coming from Typescript, I was frequently hitting limitations that made sense from a historical perspective, but were killing elegant solutions.

For example, C# has null-safety, but it's different for Value-Types than for Reference-Types. So you can't have a generic function over Optional<T>.

Tbf, I was using Unity, which adds its own layer of insanity. And, as with any language, you eventually learn to work around the limitations. But presenting both languages as interchangeable is naive.

I run the tech org for an insurance company. We've got a team of about 30 folks working on a system that manages hundreds of thousands of policies. Apart from the API's we call (a couple of them internal, belonging to our Analytics team), it's one big monolith, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. At our scale, a monolith is more stable and performant, easier to understand, easier to deploy, easier to test, easier to modify, and easier to fix when something goes wrong.
FWIW I consider that a form of asking, "stop doing this" :-)
