Reminds me a lot, except that Kernel does away with "special forms".

Link for "Kernel" because it's a lousy name to have to search for:
https://web.cs.wpi.edu/~jshutt/kernel.html

One interesting bit that remains unappreciated about Kernel is that environments are reified and are "copy-on-write". So, if you make an environment change, it propagates forward but previous calls only see the previous environment unless explicitly give them access.

It's a little unusual, but it works out pretty well. You can call the "ground environment" which is immutable and lets you compile things. You can access the "lexical environment" which works like normal. And you can call a "dynamic environment" that lets you capture things.

It's interesting in that it contains the scope of "dynamic environments" and still allows things to be compiled (which was the big downside of dynamic environments circa 1970s).

One downside I found is that the obvious implementation thrashes the hell out of your garbage collector. "Environments" really want a data structure that is more complicated and copy-friendly than "cons pairs".
It's not impossible to find of course, it's not like it's being suppressed, but if you just go through high school, and a lot of colleges depending on their general education requirements, your main history education will be very Great Person oriented.
You can run 4-bit quantized version at a small (though nonzero) cost to output quality, so you would only need 16GB for that.

Also it's entirely possible to run a model that doesn't fit in available GPU memory, it will just be slower.
It is also notoriously time sensitive however, and while likely the hardware can already ensure the synchronization between mics, processing in the OS itself necessarily means buffering for a significant period so you don't run the risk of draining the pipe in a non-realtime system.
Using IPSCs to regrow tissue, including nerve and connective tissue that just doesn't heal on its own, is definitely a thing that's about to happen. There have been promising clinical trials, and the techniques probably need to be refined to where they can be done safely at scale. But they're coming.

These wildcat stem cell clinics in Central and South America promoted by bodybuilders, UFC people, and other athletes -- most of them are scams. The scammy ones inject stem cells at the site and sort of hope they do the right thing. Sometimes they do the wrong thing, and develop into cancer! Be aware that insurance, or your country's nationalized health care program, usually does not cover these clinics, and you will at best be paying tens of thousands of dollars out of your own pocket for a stem cell therapy that is at best highly experimental and may not have the effects you want. They operate Stateside too, my wife and I were approached by one. We took the free dinner and then noped out.

But hey, your body, your choice. If it were me, I'd wait a bit for something that's a bit more proven, unless I were critically injured or ill. But it is coming, and it won't be long now.
It's not currently flagged, though. (Or at least, it's not currently marked [flagged].)
I might ask the candidate about one of their blog posts if it is interesting. It will be pretty clear if they wrote it themselves.
There has been drama about V and its creator perhaps? I do not remember what exactly. Could anyone remind me what it was all about?

Oh, the vaporware thing?

BTW I checked the Patreon page. It says "V 1.0 release is planned for 2020". Might want to change that. :D

The logic is that people have flagged it, but not enough for it to be marked [flagged], which downranks it. dang, if notified or interested in it himself, could turn off flagging for this submission which would likely bring it back to the front page (given comment activity, age, and current score). You could email him and ask nicely.

Again, the nature of the bug has not been appropriately established. It appears to me to be a bug where a output register that the kernel is expected to write is written with a incorrect, but legal value in certain cases. If my interpretation is correct, which it might not be, that is just a wrong output not a "memory corruption". The claim of "memory corruption" needs a clear detailed explanation of what memory safety property is violated and how it violates that.

Second, no. The spatial separation guarantees you want from a kernel are that a domain can not induce spatial interference in a different domain that is isolated from the former. Internal memory corruption of a user domain, even uncontrolled asynchronous corruption by the kernel, makes it not very useful, but does not violate the protection property. This is a case where it is important to distinguish between "safety" and "usability". It is "safe", but not very "usable".

If your memory corruption only occurs during specified system calls, then that problem is further reduced making it easier to "use" the system. If the memory corruption is highly constrained, say it only corrupts in-bounds of passed in pointers, then it is easier to "use" once again. If there is no memory corruption, but it instead sometimes outputs invalid garbage, that is easier to "use" once again. If it outputs legal, but incorrect values, that is easier to "use" once again. None of these affect "system safety", but all are important bugs to fix to enable to creation of functional, usable systems.
I had this dishwasher in a rental property I was living in. The landlord fitted it a month or so after I moved in because the old dishwasher died.

I was very skeptical of a WiFi connected dishwasher.

Very quickly, I loved it.

It’s actually REALLY useful to be able to get a ping on my Apple watch that the dishwasher has finished.

Once upon a time I had a dishwasher where the door popped open when it was finished. That was good too.

But with the Bosch one I can do things like mute it (so it keeps washing but more quietly), or make custom programmes (spray harder on the bottom rack because I’ve been baking).

When I moved I bought my own. And then bought a matching smart washer dryer.

I was really really skeptical of internet connected appliances like this. I wouldn’t return to a dumb appliance.
I kind of like your idea but in my head I always bounce back to "Is that a problem technology can or should solve?" IMHO the underlying problem is that people dont care that much anymore for each other, especially strangers. And the reason for that is, that in our society, we are not at all dependent on our surroundings. You can be perfectly fine without knowing your neighbors for example. If you dont have any sugar or salt to cook something, you can go to a close by store, order it or just order the cooked meal. You dont go to your neighbor and ask for a little bit of sugar or salt (if you ask for sugar, you probably get insulted because how bad sugar is - little joke :D ). So I guess, the only thing that truly work is to build communities that consists of interdependent people. Just my take one it :)
Compare:

* A system of computable logic to represent real-world science... which uses a blockchain.

* An interstellar probe... controlled by smartphone app.

In each case, the first part is huge unsolved problem of deep complexity and hard-work, and the second part is a side bonus that can be added later.

Ask HN: mDNS Locked Down on Macs?
I was using a cool tool called localias, which allows you to set `.local` domains with https for services running on your mac. It's really helpful to be able to access the services on your network at the same address (especially for mobile dev). Example:

localias add frontend.local 5173 # you can now access https://frontend.local and it will resolve to your local service listening on 5173.

But it seems like apple locked down the mdns capability behind a paywall?

Any workaround/alternatives?
So how many neuro-divergent people did you test this on before you made the claim that it would help them?
V has good ideas on paper, but most of its claimed features are aspirational. Actually using it for any real world project is an exercise in frustration and confusion, since you're never sure if the weird behavior is intentional or a bug. The documentation is outdated, missing or wrong. The implementation is a mess, even in its pre-1.0 state. Most projects written in it[1] are either demos or abandonware.

Much has been discussed about it, and every few years someone writes a "V Language Review" with the same findings. I gave it a try a few months ago and ran into many of the same issues. I'd stay away, and stick with Go, or Zig, Odin or Nim if you're interested in similar alternatives.

I wish they would start producing graphs with quantized version performances as well. What matters is RAM/bandwidth vs performance, not number of parameters.
Ask HN: SQL ORM with nested atomic updates?
I have some data structures that look like this:

Car:

Seats: [{ID: frontSeatId}, {ID: backSeatId}]

Driver: {'Name':'Joe', 'SalaryUSD': 42000}

SoundSystem:

{'TypeID': androidAutoId, Protocols: [{ID: radioProtocolId}, {ID: bluetoothProtocolId}]}

In this system, we often need to do partial updates, like:

Car:

Driver: {'Name': 'Jack'}

SoundSystem:

{Protocols: [{ID: bluetoothProtocolId}]}

Meaning that the SoundSystemProtocols table should delete and create new entries such that the car only supports bluetooth, and the driver should get renamed from Joe to Jack.

Is there an ORM that lets you do these partial updates atomically, without writing custom controllers for each Car-like object?

I want ergonomics over performance. I don't mind the language. Ideally it should allow a simple interface where the model defines the controller.

I've tried SQLModel, which promises this, but ended up with confusing JSON validation, mixing between SQLModel types and the internal SQLAlchemy model, and still had to write session.add(seats) by hand anyway.

If this doesn't exist for SQL, does another database support ID-as-value like this, where passing in an ID changes a reference, and passing in a value changes the value at that reference?
Each one was supplanted by the next gen for "coolness".

The next thing after TikTok is going to be whatever gen A/B/C decide are the "cool" platforms. It could be a new 4th or they might recycle an old platform, the way that Adidas and Reekbok and Fila came back for sneakers for a bit.

For corporate social networking, the inertia of "cool" doesn't necessarily have an uncool factor that needs to be overcome in a similar way.

Will be interesting to see how the space plays out though.
32B is one of my favourite model sizes at this point - large enough to be extremely capable (generally equivalent to GPT-4 March 2023 level performance, which is when LLMs first got really useful) but small enough you can run them on a single GPU or a reasonably well specced Mac laptop (32GB or more).

> It was interesting that they had a ton of dentists, doctors, etc. and ran well-regarded medical schools, but also espoused young Earth creationism.

Creationism is a canned joke ideological point that American Christians of all types seemingly can't get enough of. It's hilariously bad "science" at the very best, and outright farce at the worst. But for some reason simply acknowledging evolution is, seemingly as of the last 20 years or so, utterly untenable, and so they perform.

> They also were generally suspicious of government involvement in religion, with many worried about a "national Sunday law" and being disallowed from worshipping on Saturday.

I mean that just sounds like garden variety Christian persecution complex to me. I don't think a certain segment of the Christian population can properly reckon with reality if they don't feel they are being somehow oppressed despite running... basically everything.
My (never finished) master's thesis was about something similar - taking advantage of the fact that (almost) all smartphones have at least two microphones I wanted to locate and separate a speaker in 3D.

A few takeaways:

-The sampling rate is slightly off between devices - approximately ±1 sample per second - not a lot, but you need to take that into account.

-Spectral characteristics in consumer microphones are all over the place - two phones of the same model, right out of the box, will have not only measurable, but also audible differences.

-Sound bounces off of everything, particularly concrete walls.

-A car is the closest thing to an anechoic chamber you can readily access.

-The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian, which is very helpful when you need to estimate the frequency of a harmonic signal (like speech) with a wavelength shorter than half your window, but just barely.
I have ADHD and I've decided that it's part of my identity.

I was diagnosed late at 28. When I got diagnosed, my psychologist told me that I had to reassess my life. Many behaviors that people had misinterpreted as laziness, carelessness, or lack of commitment were actually manifestations of my ADHD.

Friends who thought I didn't care when I forgot plans, teachers who believed I wasn't trying hard enough, and colleagues who saw me as disorganized - they were all seeing untreated ADHD symptoms, not character flaws.

Understanding this was liberating because it meant I wasn't fundamentally flawed as a person. I had to rebuild myself, my confidence - it was a new start in life.

It's a process to relearn and teach yourself that you can do it now. Labeling publicly, saying to your friends and family that you are ADHD makes it so that you OWN your change, you OWN your disability.

tldr, ADHD as an IDENTIY is for me :
Reclaim control over your narrative instead of letting others define your behaviors

Create accountability for yourself and set realistic expectations with others

Remove shame from the equation by openly acknowledging your challenges

Enable yourself to access appropriate accommodations and support systems

> So to be clear, when presented with the option to wait a month, they instead explicitly choose to act decisively for political reasons.

This feels like a pretty reasonable thing for a nation-state actor to take into consideration, no? Is there any country on earth where the government altering timing of something for political convenience would be surprising?

The rest of this story is hilariously egregious. The part about the government discussing its own best interests and acting in them is the least abnormal thing here.

> the only laptops that I can trust to actually sleep and conserve battery when I close the lid

+1 on this one... I can close my lid (from on) and set my M1 air aside for a few weeks and still have plenty of battery left. I don't use it much when not traveling, it's mostly my desktop, work laptop or phone.

Also +1 on the hardware feel... it's got an above average stiffness, keyboard feel (for what little that's worth) and the best touchpad experience hands down. The screen is also on the higher end (I've seen slightly better in some really expensive laptops). All around, it's a pretty great value on the mid-high range. What I don't like is the aging UI/UX, the variance from other platforms (I use Linux and Windows pretty regularly) and some things that I just find harder on the platform in general.

I don't think I'd every buy a maxed out Apple product all the same, I don't use an iPhone or anything else but my laptop. That sometimes makes the ecosystem integrations slightly annoying. That said, my current laptop is still running well, and my prior laptop from over a decade ago is still running fine for my Daughter's needs... though she may get my m1 if/when I move to a Framework 13 (strix halo).
That's not what happened in the last election; in fact, the Democrats did marginally better with engaged voters. Anyways, I'm just saying, there's not much point to doing kremlinology about what the NYT is reporting.
Insane because almost none of this is based on reality and as another commenter said is just US imperialist propaganda. Literally hyper concerned with dominance and zero sum winner take all logic aka fascist. Using sexual terms to illicit an emotional response as if China is RAPING us by not giving us everything for nothing(a bitch)? again a fascist style of logic that the ONLY outcome is SOMEONE being the bitch ...

You talk about going back to era of enforced IP as if it isn't the USA that has led to the modern draconian farce of IP .... The golden age of the US growth was when we had a similar disregard for such silly concepts... Or ignoring the fact the vast majority of the US industry base was built on "stolen" British IP?

Jingoist because you are obsessed with war and violence and making things/people"bitches" thru petty dominance rather than leading by excellence as the US has some in the past.

So to summarize

Insane because lack of connection to reality and history and actual geopolitics beyond usa supremacism.

Jingoist because immediate reaction to war/violence/domination/humiliation of enemies etc .
