Like my sibling says, you can't always choose. That's one side of that coin.

The other is: Some people are naturally good at writing "green field" (or re-writing everything) and do produce actual good software.

But these same people, which you do want to keep around if that's the best you can get, are next to useless when you throw a customer reported bug at them. Takes them ages to figure anything out and they go down endless rabbit holes chasing the wrong path for hours.

You also have people that are super awesome at debugging. They have knack for seeing some brokenness and having the right idea or an idea of the right direction to investigate in right away, can apply the scientific method to test their theories and have the bug fixed in the time it take one of these other people to go down even a single of the rabbit holes they will go down. But these same people in some cases are next to useless if you ask them to properly structure a new green field feature or rewrite parts of something to use some new library coz the old one is no longer maintained or something and digging through said new library and how it works.

Both of these types of people are not bad in and of themselves. Especially if you can't get the unicorns that can do all of these things well (or well enough), e.g. because your company can't or won't pay for it or only for a few of them, which they might call "Staff level".

And you'd be amazed how easy it is to get quite a few review comments in for even Staff level people if you basically ignore their actual code and just jump right into the tests. It's a pet peeve of mine. I start with the tests and go from there when reviewing :)

What you really don't want is if someone is not good at any of these of course.
What a racist comment. Jewish culture is not "european" culture.
With regard to your idea, be reminded that Niall Ferguson already eight years ago stated that he was awakened by a friend's joke, "Make America Great Britain Again": he wrote a nice article about the monarchist model already apparent at the time.

I must warn you, though, that the drives remain undercurrents moving in history, and also Europe is living them: do note for example that the idea of "being tracked in all your monetary transactions """for some common good""" " is the translation of free people into "subjects". So: there are concepts about the population and the State that get instantiated in history by political forces and general powers.
This exactly mirrors my expectations.
Interesting... Most benchmarks show this model as being worse than o3-mini-high and sonnet3.7.

What difference are you seeing from these models that makes it better?

Bots now make most internet traffic. I wonder how many Reddit stories are written by bots. Answered by bots. Interesting to read, don't get me wrong.

This is why worldcoin may have a bright future: https://world.org/world-id

I think we are moving to gated communities again. The internet will split into several parts. Microsoft always wanted the internet to be a Microsoft thing. So maybe we move into this direction.

Compound growth exists in nature. A few bugs can quickly multiply into a swarm.

I think a more effective kind of financial literacy would convey that any time you see wild overshoots in growth it tends to have devastating local effects followed by a crash.

The biggest forum in the world is european.

And I have more:

And then I have random ones:

redcafe(dot)net

I read them, and post on them daily, forums are alive and kicking it on europe :)
It's a complete distrust in the media and all they say.
Interesting insight. I'd heard people talking about 'information addiction' before, but I'd never considered it quite how you just described it. But you're right, makes perfect sense.
Precisely this, old internet was fun and good because it was a defacto walled garden. A very specific group of people had access to the internet. Want to bring that magic back? recreate that crowd / demographic. It is really that simple. The internet, once truly connecting everyone, was always just going to mirror the physical human world, because why would it not?
But being like that can get you elected.
I'm from a computational mechanics background, and my biggest issue with jupyter notebooks was doing analysis, playing around with my models, getting results I was happy with; then having my kernel break on a fresh session whenever I wanted to revisit the result.

You could argue this is a user issue, and being sloppy with cell state is a me problem- not a notebook problem- but marimo prevents this in the first place. Just once is already a wasted day's work. Even if one is especially diligent in Jupyter, they do not have the guarantees marimo provides. Unless you are pressing "restart and run all" in a Jupyter kernel every time - you are accumulating state.

I got started with marimo and helped build out the caching because I wanted to open up a notebook from scratch and automatically restart at the point I was at- without having to worry whether my cell order is correct or not. I wanted my code to automatically rerun update outputs if I changed something like a filtering or transform step to my data. I also wanted to go back to previous states easily without having to rerun long computations or deal with data dump versioning.

marimo's caching makes this all automatic.

The plan is to bring caching to an opt-in cell basis so this happens behind the scenes, with some ideas for handling side-effects like randomness and other "non-pure" cases.

But to answer your points, my use case has been specifically scientific computing. Yes for 1) prototyping- but also knowing my prototype does not hold some hidden state or bug. I have shown my advisor results, gone to deploy and been unable to replicate them at scale because of some hidden bug in my notebook execution. To me this is unacceptable.
but also 2) documentation, notes, and report sharing. Not saving the outputs directly with the code isn't a blocker here, because caching automatically restores my state, and I can export to a more suitable format like a PDF or HTML file if I need to share it.
Saving generated binaries in source for any other setup would be considered poor form- I don't understand why Jupyter gets a pass here.
"Write once" is a google doc, notebooks should be "run many times", i.e. reproducible and sharable.

Hopefully, we get to address some of the other pain points with existing infrastructure; like auto-scaling on HPCs (easy for marimo, it's already a DAG); integrating code more directly into papers (we have mkdocs, and experimental quarto extension exists); and built-in environments (no more `pip install -R requirements.txt` on a paper project and hoping the authors remembered to freeze and pinned versions)

---

Hope my tone doesn't come off too contentious- I've just been burned by Jupyter and I'm excited because I feel like marimo addresses its major issues.
For such a simple page, implementing dark mode only takes adding `color-scheme: light dark;`.

I saw some things recently about how Hakeem Olajuwon fasted during Ramadan and generally his performance was just as good during Ramadan as during the rest of the season, which is really impressive.

Yeah, like a lightweight version of my prompta CLI :)

What I end up with, is one .md file that uses variables like "$SRC", "$TESTS" and "$DOCS" inside of it, that gets replaced when you run `prompta output`, and then there is also a JSON file that defines what those variables actually get replaced with.

Bit off-topic, but curious how your repository ends up having 8023 lines of something for concatenating files, while my own CLI sits on 687 lines (500 of those are Rust) but has a lot more functionality :)

Europol Predicts Drop in Online Piracy
If your hypothesis was true (cost overruns and delays are caused by lack of recent build experience in every western nation, and would immediately vanish if we started building more reactors) then we would expect to see the same clear trend of decreasing build time with experience in the past.

But in fact early reactors (e.g. Marcoule, or Tricastin) got built faster than the later ones (=> possibly because Chernobyl happened, and everyone reevaluated risk). So that hypothesis is clearly wrong.

And even if build times of under a decade were a realistic target for US/Europe (which I see no indication for)-- how many plants would we need to build first to hit those improvements, in your opinion? If we needed just a single full planning/construction iteration, then we could expect those miraculous 5-year-on-budget-reactors to come online in like 2050. Thats basically the best case scenario (!!). Might as well wait for fusion reactors then (that was sarcasm; fusion reactors are gonna be irrelevant in fighting climate change for exactly the same reasons; too much complexity, too expensive, too slow).

Housing might be the major wealth store for the middle class (although I doubt the lower class is collectively storing much wealth in housing), but its the rich who own most of the land and collect rent from most of the lower class and some of the middle class. The rich may not care so long as they collect checks, but I think they stand to lose the most in absolute dollars if more housing is built that they don't own.

IMO, its the middle class holding up the show because they are actually owning homes, and even though they may never actually sell their home they cling to an ever rising hypothetical valuation.
I’m not sure why you feel the need to respond to me on multiple threads. As mentioned elsewhere, I am not the source of the common meaning of the term, I do not edit the encyclopaedia, the newspapers, take the photos or anything else you will see on the front page of Google when you search for “authoritarian regime”.

You know what an authoritarian regime commonly means, and you know what you were trying to do, and you just don’t like being called on it. Someone is indeed using HN for partisan advocacy and we both know it’s you.
I'll give an example a while ago I wanted to learn a new'ish tech. I did some research LLM and search which led me to an online course. I figure eh $20 is probably worth it to hear from someone that has used it.

After a couple of chapters I realized the author had no idea what they were doing and were literally reading page for page word for word from the official documentation. Valueless Trash masquerading as information. We've only just started down this forever merry-go-round of AI slop regurgitating and obscuring the often free source material for nothing more than profit off other peoples work.
> No way do I want to work with someone who can’t debug or write tests. I thought those were entry stakes to the profession.

Those are almost entry stakes at tier-one companies. (There are still people who can't, it's just much less common)

In your average CRUD/enterprise automation/one-off shellscript factory, the state of skills is... not fun.

There's a reason there's the old saw of "some people have twenty years experience, some have the same year 20 times over". People learn & grow when they are challenged to, and will mostly settle at acquiring the minimum skill level that lets them do their particular work.

And since we as an industry decided to pretend we're a "science", not skills based, we don't have a decent apprenticeship system that would force a minimum bar.

And whenever we discuss LLMs and how they might replace software engineering, I keep remembering that they'll be prompted by the people who set that hiring bar and thought they did well.

I carry a point and shoot for photographing my kids -- it's amazing. You can take it out without looking at it, turn it on, take a photo and turn it off and return it to your pocket in 10 seconds.

Also the sensor is 10x the size of my phones, the photos are printable (and don't look like mud when printed like many camera phone photos), and the battery last for months.

Maybe just get a point and shoot? I traded in an old DSLR for an OM tough camera and my kids even take photos with it (and get copyright! unlike AI lol)
That ellipsis that you put in my comment really is doing some heavy lifting here. Seems like you ignored everything else I said between those statements. It wasn't about one person being in jail for 10 days at all. I actually didn't mention that because I don't think it's one of the most pressing issues even if it is another example on the pile.
Mostly it seems to me that the DMA is about Spotify being upset they don’t have an even bigger monopoly on music streaming and EU bureaucrats feeling annoyed that tech companies didn’t take them out to nice dinners in Brussels before releasing products.

Spotify pays Apple no money for inventing and distributing the product upon which their entire business is premised (internet connected mobile computer). That seems pretty unfair to Apple, though quite pro-competition!
I wouldn't exactly say that those are the only two things Catholics in the modern age maintain at odds with church doctrine. Heresy, a lot of heresy, is the norm even among regular attendees at mass. Catholics have mellowed significantly in the west to where it's probably more accurate for a given Catholic to say that they have a personal moral code informed by church doctrine than actually following it because it's doctrine.
Regardless of the implementation details of education post-DoE, the symbolism alone is horrific.

Mexico used to have daylight savings even though they're close enough to the equator that it doesn't make sense - that's to harmonize with the US. When they did have daylight savings time, though, the state of Sonora didn't, because it borders Arizona, which doesn't.

I regularly push 100k+ tokens into it. So most of my code base/large portions. I use the Repo Prompt product to construct the code prompts. It finds bugs and solutions at a rate that is far better than others. I also speak into the prompt to describe my problem, and find spoken language is interpreted very well.

I also frequently download all the source code of libraries I am debugging, and when running into issues, pass that code in along with my own broken code. Its very good

The Monospace Web Pandoc (SSG)
It's built on top of git, but offers better separation imho than just a separate branch.

For one thing, you have to always remember to check out that branch before you start making changes with the LLM. It's easy to forget.

Second, even if you're on a branch, it doesn't protect you from your own changes getting interleaved with the model's changes. You can get into a situation where you can't easily roll back and instead have to pick apart your work and the model's output.

By defaulting to the sandbox, it 'just works' and you can be sure that nothing will end up in the codebase without being checked first.

i can't control my computing without source code. free software without source code is like freeware. even if i am not a developer myself, every time i had a problem with an application, i was able to find a fork that fixed the problem. without source code that would not have been possible.
While possibly being strange defaults, both of those are options. Remove the file summary and directory structure, both featured on the UI, and on the CLI tool, and voila, it's in your "better" state. There are also additional compression options beyond those two tweaks.
> I'm a little surprised you've only had positive experiences.

I was talking about the experiences within the country. The border is horrendous, exactly like Russia. Same vibe of "we hate you, kneel before stepping into my country"

For a foreigner, even one that knows the US pretty well, there is a background feeling of "if it goes bad, it will go vey bad". This is mostly because of movies and news like this article but the everyday life was more or less friction free. I did not get into anything serious, though.
> Show that the money was spent in a way different than proscribed by law

When people find loopholes in the law to obtain grants, do you defend their actions because technically it didn't break the law?

DOGE is apparently exposing a system of dubious and questionable spending at scale. If "wasteful" is an understatement, don't be surprised when taxpayers use "fraud" to describe the decisions made to blow their money.

Even if a court finds that funding that "drag show in Ecuador" was lawful, doesn't take the sting out. It doesn't take the fact away that someone benefited who probably shouldn't have, relative to the government's broader budget purposes. It might enrage people even more that it was a systemic abuse of grant money.
No. It’s a given that people without the incomes to afford housing won’t enter that locality, but many could remain from before it was a popular place to live.

Gentrification actually only affects a very small percentage of people who end up refusing to sell and holding out until they cannot afford anymore.

But the point remains that a 90 year old living on Social Security could potentially own a million dollar home.
And your mapping provider will know the speed limit and number of lanes for each road, so avoiding huge fast roads is easy enough.

Beyond that, available data varies by country. In the UK, there are databases of all car accidents severe enough to get reported to the police. Of course, such databases look a lot like a population density map.

I’d rather Apple continue returning excess cash flow to investors than to waste it on boondoggle regulatory requirements cooked up by people without a clue (Seriously? AirDrop alternatives? Who is asking for this?) which also have unintended consequences for other product development priorities.

I really wonder how similar project "starship" is to project "FSD" in terms of a typical Elmos dreaming big while pumping hype. Which is, btw, also very similar to what Theranos did. Sooner or later it comes down crashing when it becomes apparent that you have overpromised and delivering really turned out to be impossible. Reality catches up, peoples belief in you fizzles and money dry out. Or, alternatively, anonymous sources start popping up with revealing uncomfortable truths.

Anyway, thunderf00t will have a blast with this article.

Love the concept, I missed that you were outputting HTML galleries from the folder structure.

Similar reason that I bailed from OneNote to Obsidian even though it's not good with tablets/handwriting/drawing. I'm just tired of my stuff being tied up in someone else's service where at any time they can alter the deal and all I can do is pray they don't alter it any further. Sure, I pay for Obsidian Sync, but worst case it's a folder of Markdown files and a little bit of special syntax that someone else could knock off in a day if Obsidian went bad.
ok, then how would you do it?
