For sure. Feels like the broader dev community could use a generic wiki platform like this, where every language or toolkit can have its own section. Not just for performance/optimization, but also for idiomatic ways to use a language in practice.
To be fair most of the taxes do not even go to what you describe and there is massive waste happening in the administrations.
Elsewhere | San Francisco or Remote (US Time Zones) | Contract or FT | https://elsewhere.zone

Are you a web developer who’s always wanted to make indie video games? This is for you.
Elsewhere is a San Francisco-based game studio building multiplayer roguelike games. We’re working on two projects, one of which is a roguelike deck builder in the vein of great titles like Inscryption and Slay the Spire with a little Pokemon TCP and Marvel SNAP thrown in.
We’re building games with TypeScript, React, and HTML/CSS as well as Websockets (via Colyseus). We’re using generative AI in a fascinatingly new and creative way that naturally extends game mechanics into something tens of millions of people will absolutely love.

Ideally, you:

* Have worked as a software engineer before, ideally on a small team.

* Have built and shipped games before, either professionally or on your own time.

* Love games yourself, and have always wanted to work in the games industry.

* Know the web stack (TypeScript, React, etc) like the back of your hand

We’re stealth but backed by some of the top investors in Silicon Valley, including Floodgate and a16z SPEEDRUN. My previous startup was Human Interest (YC S15), a fintech co that today is valued at $1.3B. My intention is to outdo it many times over with Elsewhere. We’re building the the Blizzard, Valve, or Nintendo for the AI age. I hope you’ll consider joining us.

It also is a bad deal for those that just want to pay the normal price, because you pay for this financial overhead as well. At least in these cases the competition is often severe...
I’m not saying this sounds like a pyramid scheme, but maybe, what’s the difference between the Hanson Scheme and a pyramid scheme?

Also: I’m not strictly speaking religious, but there is something dystopian about moving from a moral-philosophical framework to a strictly economic one.

> act so callous towards the copyright of another artist

It's not copyright. Specific works of art are copyrightable, but a style is not. We probably do not want to extend copyright protection to style because its boundaries are fuzzy and because art advances through incremental improvements.

However, we give social value to originality. A human artist who could just reproduce the Ghibli style is 'lesser' than one who creates their own.

This speaks to the tension described by the author. On one hand, we deem that human creativity is worthy of status and that copied styles are 'imitation' or 'knock-off' goods. On the other hand, as consumers we gravitate to the familiar, and success breeds just those cheap imitators.
In that situation, assuming the worst possible scenario, who would have Russia retaliated against? Would they have just assumed it was America? It seems hard to attribute a missile fired from a submarine near you -- I think? It's a question that I never had even consider would factor into that decision.

CV: mm-dev.rocks/mm-dev-cv.pdf

Email: In CV

I'm Mark, I've over 20 years industry experience working with startups, household names, solo entrepreneurs. I live semi off-grid in my touring caravan, currently in South Wales. I've been working on my own open source projects for a while and want to get back amongst it.

Non-code skills:

- Communication: translate ideas from inside your head into a buildable plan

- Manage expectations, understand priorities, keep you in the loop

- I'm a generalist from art/design origins

Linux/Windows/Android/MacOS/iOS.

Interested in repairability and getting the most out of cheaper, lower-powered devices.

Seeking:

- Short-term, full-time projects
- Longer part-time commitments (eg 1-2 days a week, few hours a month, retainer)
- Agency overspill
- Open to other ideas!
Nice project, but would it not be more rational to have your system running underclocked/undervolted at the optimal perf/watt at all times, with an optional boost to max performance for a time critical task? Running it away from the optimum might save on instant consumption but increase your aggregate consumption.

The counter point is they could make a higher level version of CUDA which wouldn't necessitate all the other supporting libraries. The draw of cuBLAS is that CUDA is a confusing pain. It seems reasonable to think they could write a better, higher level language (in the same vein as triton) and not have to write as many support libraries
I'm on a time of use rate plan, most expensive from 11am-7pm. However they also have "Critical Peak Events" which increase the rate about 10x to over a $1/kwh that last up to 4 hours. Just saying it would be a bit more complex then just checking the time.
Google may well want to run more of their content through an LLM, but they will not be using Nvidia hardware to do it, they'll be using their TPUs.

Amazon are on their third generation of in-house AI chips and Anthropic will be using those chips to train the next generation of Claude.

In other words, their biggest customers are looking for cheaper alternatives and are already succeeding in finding them.

I'm a little surprised that your architect didn't include layout information for the carpenters in their drawings. The whole point of the drawings is to enable the builder to faithfully reproduce the design, after all.
Christopher Waltz is the perfect example of this.

The world is filled with world class actors. Waltz was a world class actor for most of his adult life.. and then he met Quentin.

As he says himself... it's always been about who you know.

So, agreed, AI will just make that more apparent.

In theory if you solve for body type and looks with AI, then raw acting talent becomes higher in demand. That should been seen as a good thing for most average looking people with high acting talent.
No, that's absolutely not the case, and it would be very odd and disturbing.

You’re spot on about the chances in a hit-based industry.

That said, Jeff Vogel has spoken at length [0] about how he’s stayed in business for 30-ish years with a middle class lifestyle. Including the lean times.

I think it’s pretty inspirational that there’s a way to make game development work if your primary goal isn’t getting rich, but to have a comfortable life and enjoy what you do.

Fair enough. Perhaps what I mean is that they don’t have a strong aesthetic opposition to JSDoc, which is presumably rare among TypeScript developers.
Models, models every where, so let's have a think
Again, there's no such thing as "feature parity" because some (many?) of React features are not required by other frameworks.

E.g. you don't need React hooks because Preact has signals: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/signals/

Does this mean that Preact doesn't have feature parity? For a very strict definition, no it doesn't. Does it mean you need to sacrifice anything? No.

Same goes for many other frameworks. In modern landscape when it comes to features and abilities React is actually quite a poor offering.
Oh duh, yeah using spread syntax for function calls is definitely limited to fewer than 150,000 arguments in any browser that I know of. Don't expect everyone to know that, but I sure did, stupid that I didn't spot that. Thanks for pointing it out!

(funny enough I tend to use for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) loops most of the time anyway because the iterator protocol adds too much overhead for my tastes, so I wasn't likely to ever bump into this in the first place)
The correlation you're looking for is number of requirements, not number of stakeholders. They can be related in joint programs but aren't always.
Yes, immediately, just a short three hundred years later (printing press 1440, first copyright law 1710). And if you look into that law (Statute of Anne) then you will find that poor hardworking authors where not exactly on the receiving end of that protection.
I just wanted to complain that this will dilute the I in AI, and their maintainers ought to sue.

This is the same guy who wrote 4'33", the silent piece.

I kinda get that -- the 40000 Hz podcast gave it some good context:

https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/433-by-john-cage-twent...

Maybe they'll also explain the point of this. The piece is called "As Slow As Possible", but it's not as slow as possible. The slowest possible piece would have a fermata with an infinity sign over the first note, and that's it. Maybe the rest of it would be a jaunty little tune that would never be played in context. ("Shave and a haircut", perhaps?)

As a stunt, it's moderately interesting. How do you set up a contraption to play for hundreds of years? How do you maintain it without interrupting the performance? But it's less interesting than the 10,000 year clock.
No problem! This really only comes up in very edge cases anyway, which is partially why I don’t think it’s the worst mental model for most people. As long as you know that you can’t put let in expression position, that’s really the only place it goes wrong. Most people who haven’t used a language like Ruby would even think of items as being expressions in the first place.
Apache Spark, Delta Lake are written Scala. Being JVM based, it has a large ecosystem. Scala seems like a better choice than F#.
Eh, yes and no. They tend to have a pretty strong relationship to each other. But we've all been party to swiss army knife projects that get shit all over by stakeholders because they don't agree about what the right balance of "shitty at everything" ought to be.

I honestly don't remember as it was +/-6 years ago. I had started learning Haskell and got to that conclusion. Maybe that I am now more versed in FP I would arrive at another conclusion? I don't know.

Another thing that was hard to grasp for me were the special operators like =<<, ., $, etc. I was using Xmonad, but those operators create a barrier to understanding exactly what happened in the file.

In the end, F# was in my (personal) experience much more approachable, and it let me learn the functional concepts along the way.
Modern physics gets into some weird territory, as does some sensory biology, so I don't blame anyone on this one.

Show HN: Zocket – Zero-Configuration Sockets
Ever since I read about RINA [1] some ten-odd years ago, I've always thought that this was the future standard of the Internet. I kept track of some implementations [2][3][4] but they've since been overtaken by developments in TCP/IP, most notable (for me) among which is QUIC.

I've come to believe that rather than starting from a clean slate, we need to work within TCP/IP's constraints to bring us piecemeal from "rough consensus and running code" to sound networking theory.

Zocket is my contribution to this effect. It's what you get when you marry a sockets API to zero-configuration networking--specify apps by their own names rather than their host's addresses. It's pretty rough, but the happy path mostly works.

I can imagine use cases for this in cluster networking, especially in the cloud. But I'll probably start with something smaller, like how to backup pictures from a smartphone to a home server despite the latter being configured with DHCP.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I think it's very telling that your definition of "journalistic integrity" includes a good amount of sycophancy for Musk.

"Simple, direct, online methods that other dealers can't react to"

Stanford is an ... interesting place, it seems. I read that if you filtered for Stanford in the Forbes 30 Under 30 lists, they were most notable for having been accused/charged/convicted of stealing/scamming more money than their companies have generated revenue, to a ratio of nearly 3:1.
This makes no sense whatsoever to me.

That's a poor way to measure g. In multiple schools I went to, the standard was to measure g via a pendulum (I think measuring the period).

I measured a 9.86[1] :-) Mostly dumb luck. But most people in the class would get decently close (9-10.5).

It's absolutely not exactly the same; let! is only available within a computation block. If you want to return some value from the computation block and return to Functional land without having to pause the thread you need to use a continuation, which C# has built in syntactic sugar for in async/await and F# does not.
