i like scala and have used it as my primary language for the majority of my career.

It is waning as other languages catch up, but to some extent perhaps having the self styled elitists move on to rust will mean that a more pragmatic and less dramatic user base is left behind and the intellectual one upmanship that has made scala toxic can find a home somewhere else.

If I was starting out today I'd lean more towards python, typescript and go depending on use case. (I still think rust is over engineered, over used and over prescribed with very few people getting paid to write it)

Anyway I am hoping it turns into somewhat of a COBOL where I can charge outlandish rates for fixing banks technical debt issues.
Results will vary a lot with all the parameters (of which there are many). They don’t disclose all the detail but I know they have done thousands of tests across the parameters space. I know they believe they can process sludge produced from other processes.. The industry generally is very opaque, I think for competitive reasons and also because it’s so complex/nuanced.

I'm shocked... almost 100 comments and no one has complained that the design is not "modern" grey on grey with one paragraph at 24 points per screen and pointless stock photos sprinkled in.
>Discrete GPUs on add-in cards are the high margin market in computer hardware currently

For AMD and Nvidia yeah, but Intel is currently bleeding money on their GPUs since they're made on the expensive TSMC nodes instead in their own fabs, and they price them very low to gain market share as sales aren't stellar due to mid performance.

The only reason they haven't cancelled it already is they're playing the long game.

The issue is if the AI bubble bursts by the time they release anything competitive causing margins to tank again.
I think there will be a movement towards small non-public, private, verified human social networks.

Discord servers seem to be in this movement.

FB, IG, Tiktok, Reddit are all you can eat social networks that will be eroded by GenAI and low quality participants.
Yes, the model card explicitly says it's autoregressive, not diffusion. And it's not a separate model, it's a native ability of GPT-4o, which is a multimodal model. They just didn't made this ability public until now. I assume they worked on the fine-tuning to improve prompt following.
I would love to do this as well, but I'm put off by the time it would take away from pushing the project itself forward. How much time does it generally take for you to make a blogpost for a project?

There's 3 toddlers on the floor. You ask them a hard mathematical question. One of the toddlers plays around pieces of paper on the ground and happens to raise one that has the right answer written on it.

- This kid is a genius! - you yell

- But wait, the kid has just picked an answer from the ground, it didn't actually come up...

- But the other toddlers could do it also but didn't!
With all the switching between camera angles during a sports broadcast, the difference in white balance, brightness and color grading would be really distracting and annoying.
Going to assume you're genuinely interested here:

Intel's RealSense cameras typically also have an active IR illumination component that projects texture onto otherwise featureless surfaces where stereo would not give any measurements.

There is also an onboard vision processor that computes the depth information and sends that to your host system. Compare this with Stereolabs zed cameras that require you to have a separate GPU, supporting CUDA, to compute the depth image stream. Oh, and there is also an inertial measurement unit thrown in, for high frequency inter-frame motion estimation. Useful for things like visual odometey, 3D mapping, etc.
It seems this is because the string "autoregressive prior" should appear on the right hand side as well, but in the second image it's hidden from view, and this has confused it to place it on the left hand side instead?

It also misses the arrow between "[diffusion]" and "pixels" in the first image.
I see many OSes here that are missing some lengthy, but apparently not extremely complicated - and quite well defined - parts / components / modules.

I wonder if letting loose a coding LLM on them with clear goals and a feedback loop, could bring them to (at least near) completion?

Show HN: A website that lets you create and collect trading cards
I draw and make some art myself and always liked making little trading cards, so i built a website that lets users create and collect trading cards. It's a fun way to discover art and artists.

It's very early stage and i have a hard time getting artists to join. Most subreddits and discord servers dont allow advertising so i haven't found a good way of spreading the word about the site. So if you're an artist, know artists or have any ideas on how to get artists to join i'd love to hear it.

And feel free to explore and come with feedback or ideas and what you like/dislike
No, all of those are needs. Some of them are merely a bit higher on the Maslow's hierarchy.
The open university so far is doable for me while working full time. I study Part-Time, BSc at this pace takes 6 years.

Full Bsc Degree costs around 20k€ I believe. Sometimes the money I paid for the module is biggest motivation to do the work needed, sometimes I enjoy the courses. First year (cyber) did take very few hours with my current work experience. I am in second (full time equivalent-) year now and it's getting a bit more interesting, but still nowhere near the hours I expected to put.

Their math materials are awesome - I wish I would have taken maths over cyber. (But would have much less of a life because I would need to put much more effort)

Edit: I should add maybe: I am self taught working in a DevOps position and am older than you. I left school after 10 years, and I don't have the high school requirements to study in most universities in Europe.

My main complaint is the poor IDE support. Shapeless breaks everything so casually.

> We acknowledge that there is still work to do. The IntelliJ team is working hard on bringing the best support for Scala 3, and you can expect more improvements in the following months.

Good to hear. I thought Jetbrains had completely abandoned Scala for Kotlin, so I'm glad they're still willing to support Scala.

We do have tools in every step of the sdlc so we can find issues as early as possible. Anything that is exploitable and left unmatched is a compliance violation so we take it very seriously. That said, exploitability is very (expensive) hard to proof, so in practice we try to mitigate via upgrading instead of long pointless discussions about risk. The second thing this forces us, is to look at complexity and tech-debt in a new light.
Serious question: do you think that the comment by noosphr was kind, curious, and not snarky?

>First AI image generator to pass the uncanny valley test?

Other image generators I've used lately often produced pretty good images of humans, as well [0]. It was DALLE that consistently generated incredibly awful images. Glad they're finally fixing it. I think what most AI image generators lack the most is good instruction following.

I think it can reason. At least if it can work in a loop ("thinking"). It's just that this reasoning is far inferior to human reasoning, despite what some people hastily claim.
Uuurgh. I’m a writer by trade and this has become a way for people who find my writing inconvenient to dismiss my thoughts.

I’m finding an impulse while writing these days to censor writing styles which are much more efficient at conveying complex thoughts in favor of styles which are more “human” but fail to convey nuance.

It’s debilitating to anything beyond discussion of sound-bite sized thoughtlets.

I fear that this will be a race to the bottom for human discourse and intellect.
No, it won't (necessarily) be AI that's creating the new jobs. In general, when a new technology comes along and automates away some jobs, you can't expect the same technology to provide the new jobs.

To give an example from the recent past: 'hipster' baristas that make you a five dollar coffee are a fairly new job. At least at scale.

But I doubt you'll be able to find any technology that automated some other job but created barista jobs.

It's just that the market will find stuff for people to do for money, unless prevented to do so by incompetent central bank policy or (too) onerous labour market regulation.

(The labour market can take quite a lot of regulation, and still be able to get people jobs. Have a look at Germany today for an example.)

I think they are on the right track in the sense that "the problem needs a regulatory fix", but not in the sense that "putting time limits on kid media consumption" is quite the right way to go.

There is quite a bit of analysis out there how to trigger addictive behavior for anything from news site to games. Mainly so that they can maximally abuse this.

I think the right way would be to regulate that, not so dissimilar to how we regulate drugs.

Which yes can, in a roundabout way, bring us back to age restricting some otherwise seemingly harmless games.

But its in generally a different approach as it also pulls in the adult, general public awareness both for childs and adult, tries to also reduce drug, eh dopamine fix, consumption in adults etc.

E.g. if auto scrolling short are classified as addictive similar to drugs (through not quite the same) you then can e.g. require YT to allow people to disable shorts, or "auto scrolling, swipe next" display of shorts. Or limit how they can be on search results etc. This probably will also help with addictive gamba games frequently bankrupting adults etc.

> Even adults have a hard time to resist TikTok and YT Shorts and the like.

I removed them from YT using ad block, through there isn't a way to do so on a phone/tablet without using 3rd party YT apps :/
Theoretically, is the distinction between IDP and CA necessary? I kinda would expect the IDP to certify my pubkey.
Nothing to worry about. They don't need to learn anything anyway. Anything they would do in the future will be done by agentic AI, and generative AI will produce all the content they could possibly consume. They will be free to spend all day on their phones.
Because events using many cameras without this type of setup would cause jarring visual differences when switching between one camera/view to another during the broadcast.

Some of the prompts are pretty long. I'm curious how iterations it took to get to that prompt for them to take the top 8 out of.

> This is really more a C pattern than a C++ pattern, isn't it?

You're right, although it feels a bit safer in C++ with the extra type safety. And that in my mind makes it more powerful in C++.

Whilst Git will be default abbreviate commits to 7 characters, that's merely a default; `core.abbrev` can be set to any number to change the default display. Git will also accept any length abbreviated hashes as long as they're unique in the repo.
> I have always firmly maintained that there is less fundamental difference between LLMs and human brains than most people seems to assume.

What is your basis for this? Do you have any evidence or expertise in neuroscience to be able to make this claim?

> Neural nets are universal function approximators, so can't a sufficiently large neural net approximate a full human brain?

We do not understand the brain well enough to make this claim.

Yeah besides the gaping hole in our current understanding of neuroscience, you have some good points I guess.

Main developer here.

We use MQTT a lot, it is really a central piece of our architecture, but Elixir brings a lot of benefits regarding the handling of many processes which are often loosely coupled.
The BEAM and OTP offer a sane approach to concurrency and Elixir is a nice language on top. Here is what I find the most important benefits:

- good process isolation, even the heap is per process. This allows us to have robust and mature code running along more experimental features without the fear of everything going down. And you still have easy communication between processes

- supervision tree allows easy process management. I also created a special supervisor with different restart strategies. The language allows this and then, it integrates as any other supervisor. With network connections being broken and later reconnected, the resilience of our system is tested regularly, like a physical chaos monkey

- the immutability as implemented by the BEAM greatly simplifies how to write concurrent code. Inside a process, you don't need to worry about the data changing under you, no other process can change your state. So no more mutex/critical sections (or very little need). You can still have deadlock though, so it is not a silver bullet
Git is useful for a single person, too.

You are right that the default UI of git is intimidating for normal people.

Saying 'relational database' says about as much about how you actually store the data as saying 'json' or 'xml'. Yes, you could use a variant of git that stores all its information in a relation database. (And in a saner parallel universe, git might have used something like sqlite internally, instead of hand-rolling its own formats from scratch.)

But the question of UI is pretty much independent from the question of how you want to store the data.

> A request rate too inhuman?

I've run into this on five websites in the past 2 months, usually just from a single request that didn't have a referrer (because I clicked it from a chat, not because I block anything). When I email the owners, it's the typical "have you tried turning it off and on again" from the bigger sites, or on smaller sites "dunno but you somehow triggered our bot protection, should have expired by now [a day later] good luck using the internet further". Only one of the sites, Codeberg, actually gave a useful response and said they'd consider how to resolve when someone follows a link directly to a subpage and thus doesn't have a cookie set yet. Either way, blocks left and right are fun! More please!

Java has certainly improved. Kudos to its stewards.

But I think it still has many rough edges -- things that are awkward (or outright impossible) to do in Java and Scala is great. It doesn't have to be advanced features, like meta-programmig/macros. Here are some example that I think are not anything esoteric:

* Just the mere fact that Scala has immutable/persistent collections improves how and what programs people write.

* Scala also has good infrastructure to deal with "modifying" data model graphs in a persistent/immutable way. Think deeply nested case classes and sealed traits. You have the copy method, lens libraries, etc. Java does have records and sealed interfaces, but all the rest of the machinery to work with them is still missing.

* To generalize the points above, Scala is immutable-first language, with all the positives that come with it. Java, still not so much (even though they are moving in that direction, e.g. `record`s).

* Another weird thing in Java is how it deals with variance. In Scala, I find it easy to comprehend, in comparison.

* Scala is expression oriented. Ifs, trys, etc -- all of them are expression. You can bound the result of these expressions to a variable. Not the case in Java, which makes it annoying to work with. You have to fist make the variable null or something and then make sure it gets assigned within of the body of the if/try/... Just a bad experience :(

Than there is a matter of culture:

* Java libraries like to return (and expect to be passed) a `null`. Scala culture embraces `Option` from its standard library.

* While Java does have support for checked exceptions, which I think is a very good idea in theory, in practice its implementation is underwhelming (e.g. not possible to abstract over) and so libraries don't use it as much. With Scala you can return an `Either`. Or with new Scala 3, we may soon have powerful capability system to, among others, allow throwing "checked" exceptions. That's the Capture Checking https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/experimental/cc... research.

* This may be even more personal opinion that others, but I find Java libraries more difficult to use that Scala ones. With Scala, you just follow the types and you create and work with the objects that the library gives you in an intuitive way. With Java, the types don't help you as much. You have to read the documentation thoroughly, to make sure you're calling the right methods on the right objects, in the right order. Because the types don't help you, you can't be sure you doing it correctly, because every other way compiles too.

the technical term in "contingent" :

"(The fancy way of putting the influence of all of those factors, both the big structural ones and the little, subject-to-chance ones, is to say ‘history is contingent’ – that is, the outcomes are not inevitable but are subject to many forces large and small, many of which the lack of evidence render historically invisible.)"
Infernet: A Peer-to-Peer Distributed GPU Inference Protocol
The 80-hour workweek isn’t some grand anomaly; it’s simply the natural outcome of the fierce competition in China’s market. If you want a good job, you have to give it your all—because if you don’t, there will always be someone smarter, faster, and more determined waiting to take your place. It’s not personal; it’s just how the system works.

Yes, the government has made efforts to regulate this, but the root issue remains: if an economy can’t provide enough well-paid jobs, no amount of intervention will fundamentally change the situation. The pressure will persist—it’s a structural reality, not a moral failing.

As for the term "slave," it’s a dramatic and, frankly, amusing choice of words. It perfectly captures a certain U.S. perspective on China, one that’s often shaped by narrow assumptions and ideological filters. The lens of "communism" becomes a convenient, if overly simplistic, way to frame a complex society. It’s not wrong to critique, but sometimes the framing says more about the critic than the subject itself.

I just want to note that this seems to be bad reasoning. There is no implication that because blaming all these technologies is perceived to have turned out to be mistaken, these new concerns must be mistaken also. Though I want to state that without providing an opinion on whether these concerns are warranted or not.
