Theft of what? There was no market for "memes in ghibli style commissioned by the original studio" which would probably cost hundreds if not thousands if hand-drawn. Nobody was going to pay for that. When it became freely available and instantly reproducible, that's the new market.
This is local pubsub within an application, right? i.e. corresponding to C#'s 'event' keyword.
Been having a great time with postgresml for this exact kind of thing. If you don't need a complex DAG but have a simple pipeline or work queue that can be easily represented in postgres anyway, it's very straightforward to work with and nicely encapsulates all of your processing (traditional data munging and LLM calls) together with a modest extension of a familiar system.
Jesus, this is a regression not a feature, for christ sake.

Also out of curiosity, I did some quick math regarding that claim you read somewhere.

Cellphone battery charge: I have a 5000mAh cellphone battery. If we ignore charging losses (pretty low normally, but not sure at 67W fast charging)... That battery stores about 18.5 watt-hours of energy, or about 67 kilojoules.

Generating a single image at 1024x1024 resolution with Stable Diffusion on my PC takes somewhere under a minute at a maximum power draw under 500W. Lets cap that at 500*60 = 30 kilojoules.

So it seems plausible that for cellphones with smaller batteries, and/or using intense image generation settings, there could be overlap! For typical cases, I think that you could get multiple (but low single digit) of AI generated images for the power cost of a cellphone charge, maybe a bit better at scale.

So in other words, maybe "technically incorrect" but not a bad approximation to communicate power use in terms most people would understand. I've heard worse!

I may have donated to them before - it feels much better to pay for public good than for someone’s personal profit.
No, DPO avoids a Reinforcement Learning training loop. For the current iteration on verifiable domains, our method is GRPO.
Let me elaborate: DPO is for preference learning - each data sample in the dataset contains 2 pieces: preferred and non-preferred responses (what the model should avoid generating). DPO optimizes for the preferred response between the 2. That means, DPO is one effective method for making a model learn sentiment or preference. We call a generalization of this alignment mode - it's on our roadmap.
On the current GRPO implementation side, dataset needs on Augento are simpler: Just the prompt, and some captured context if you like - it's then the reward function that scores the model generations.
Currently, with GRPO, training is done on verifiable domains. Not preference, but one piece of output will be judged by a deterministic reward function, or by a reward model (which the user decides - you can decide it through defining the reward function).

(EDIT: Would you use DPO? Do you have experience with it or needs?)
I’m wondering where in my comment it sounded like I wanted this standard specially to be implemented yesterday?
Did your friend describe it as "Disney style"? In that case there would be a trademark infringement.

Also, Disney have deep pockets and Etsy would not want to argue it out with them if they got a complaint.
Within a week this was made unavailable, did you choose to rename the project? You might want to leave a notice of where to find the new repository.
How many sites will have useful results to return for a "something 150"? Muzzle width? Bees? T-shirt size? Walking distance? You surely cannot want _all_ these categories yet you'll get them all in a list. I might be biased but today's fuzzy search is a dumpster fire, sites hating to return only two results so they bury anything relevant in a tidal wave of unrelated garbage. I have office mates like that and everybody hates them as well.
Thought-provoking piece on the reliability vs capability tradeoff in system design. I especially liked the insight about optimizing for reliability by minimizing dependencies. There's wisdom in keeping critical components simple and self-contained. Capability can be incrementally added in isolation without compromising the core system's reliability.
Sales Implementation Advice for Startups
yeah — sounds about right. retraining the whole model just to add one jargon-y term isn’t super efficient. this approach lets you plug in a vocab list at runtime instead, which feels a lot more scalable.
Sundials are really really cool, and the shadow sweeps in the clockwise direction at mid-latitudes in the northern hemisphere, but

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundial#In_the_Southern_Hemisp...

So "clockwise" is because the Earth's axis of rotation about itself is not too far from perpendicular to its orbital plane of rotation around the sun, and because the Earth rotates counter-clockwise from the perspective of someone hovering above the planet's north pole. This is the right-hand rule.

Earth's axis of rotation (and orbital plane) is fairly well aligned with most of the round bodies in the solar system, except notably for oddball tilted Uranus and anti-aligned Venus (and the pretty different orbital planes of the minor planets like Pluto and Eris).

The sun's north pole (following the right-hand rule) and south pole do not point to anywhere particular in the galaxy, and its axis of rotation is highly tilted with respect to the axis through the central bulge of the Milky Way. A nice diagram that seems to have originated from the European Southern Observatory: <https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/motion-of-earth-an...>

Most disc-like structures we've found tend to be randomly oriented compared to each respective host galaxy's polar axis.

For spiral galaxy rotations we have much better data from mostly edge-on views because we can measure the doppler shifts of molecular clouds at their margins; the advancing side will be less red-shifted than the trailing side. Spectral lines also broaden with the magnitude of rotation. AFAIK there is nothing at all unexpected about the distribution of trailing vs leading edges on our sky; the mystery is in the magnitude of the rotation of these outer gas clouds compared to things like their galaxy's apparent optical brightness or other markers of mass.

Also fun is that for elliptical galaxies, these gas clouds don't rotate around the equatorial bulge of those that have them. They instead tend to move mostly radially deeper and shallower within their host galaxy.

So if galaxies don't choose the rotation of their internal components like star systems or radio-loud objects like pulsars and relativistic-jet-equipped black holes, why (accepting for the sake of this argument that this garbage paper is correct about there being a bias in face-on spiral galaxies) would a distant galaxy affect us more than our own?
If you just use an html button with simple styling the size is around 58kB (not the quoted 73kB, which is from other libs that they built with like ShadCN than just react), so its still impressively smaller than react.

That said, using Preact instead (a smaller and more modular react-style library) the file size is less than 5kB. Its almost a drop-in replacement for React too: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/differences-to-react

If i make a similarly minimal app with Nue (the lib the article is about), export as production, and remove the favicon it seems to want to add automatically, the filesize is 28kB. I couldn't see a way to meaningfully reduce that in their docs, as its clearly exporting things that arent being used.

Its pretty disingenuous for them to compare an app to a single button, given their own single button implementation is massively overinflated too. It does appear to be a full app framework rather than just a view library though. So I'll definitely give it a whirl.

To the OP: From a lot of the comments here, including my own, comparing yourself in this way is only going to result in people calling you out on it. Its clear the lib has merit in its own right, but you aren't comparing like to like, and if the focus is on "button" apps, then you are still WAY behind some other libs in terms of export size.

Hi HN, long time lurker here.
I've recently decided to start blogging about topics I've dealt with in computational geometry - mostly because I've never blogged before and have always wondered what it'd be like to have something to point to and say "yes, I wrote that"...while also having something that can actively help folks out in the wild.

This post is the first in a series of articles I intend to publish, and is a deep dive into one algorithmic solution to the question "does this point lie inside this polygon ?"

Any critique/comments would be very welcome. In fact, be as heavy with your critique as you can !

Recording and watching or listening to myself play has been very helpful for me. Even a temporary recording of just the current session, or most recent n minutes/beats would be nice. It's hard to evaluate execution in real time while performing it. To get it right as a user experience is not a simple task though. However, your great minimal feature set could also be seen as a plus to drive the practice routine efficiently no matter the quality, you'll get better too.
See my replies to other comments parallel to yours. But in short: MCP doesn't help us anymore than cURL lets you replicate Zapier in a shell script - the bad future is that, like with APIs, service providers get to differentiate between humans and AI user-agents, and restrict the latter to endpoints governed by B2B contracts.
Fascinating that the Swedish demoscene is getting UNESCO heritage status. It's great to see this creative digital subculture, which has pushed the boundaries of what's possible with computer graphics and effects for decades, getting mainstream recognition. Kudos to the hard work of the communities and organizers involved.
Great idea. However, the clip I got was spoken so fast that if I was able to actually understand any of it I think I wouldn't be learning Spanish as I'd have already mastered it.

This rules out conversational UI for some tasks and applications but there are many where it will be useful and many where a hybrid would be best.

Even in a car, being able to control the windscreen wipers, radio, ask how much fuel is left are all tasks it would be useful to do conversationally.

There are some apps (im thinking of jira as an example) where i'd like to do 90% of the usage conversationally.
If I didn't live here I wouldn't visit the US either even before all this recent crap. High crime rates, high poverty rates, poor education, expensive, and the 5th highest incarceration rate in the world on par with Turkmenistan and Brazil. 1.5% of the US population is either in prison or on probation and a short step away from prison.

Author here. You’re spot on. I took away the React association and added a direct link to the JS code [1] that hit the ‘Maximum call stack size exceeded’ wall. TypedArrays can do wild stuff, no doubt, but yeah, it’s not exactly vanilla JS—and still lags a tight WASM setup. Appreciating the nuance here!

In Canadian burning man discussion groups, consensus is pretty much that no one is going this year due to the tariff war (well that and criticism of the nonprofit that organizes it) . Out of hundreds who chimed in on the discussion threads, only one said they'd still go this year.

Many people I know have also cancelled travel plans and bookings. There are definitely some undeniable changes in how we're spedning our vacation time.
This paper would have been really compelling in 2005-2010, but in 2025 there's too much evidence that these approaches do not result in C++ that is secure. The author cites a number of projects that have broadly applied these techniques, like Chrome and iOS, but these code bases continue to be exploited regularly despite these protections. If you actually look at where those projects are investing, it's on moving to Rust/Swift.

Don't assume bad faith when someone expresses their opinion (see rules). When even Wikipedia describes The Guardian's readership as "generally on the mainstream left of British political opinion" (as I quoted in another comment) there is nothing wrong, disingenuous, or inaccurate in saying that The Guardian is left-wing.

Fascinating deep dive into the Pentium microcode ROM circuitry!

I believe many of the "vibe coders" won't be able to follow that advise (as they are not trained to actually design systems), and they will form a market of "sometimes working" programs.

Its unlikely that they would change their approach, so the world and LLM creators would have to adapt.

Most jurisdictions have a tax-free allowance or threshold. If you're affected by an inheritance tax, you're not poor.

As I said in the comment you're responding to, this seems like an example of how this type of tax worked correctly for a very rich person, so the thread you're responding to is already a counterexample to your argument.

I agree that inheritance taxes can be implemented poorly. Still, the concept of an inheritance tax is good, and poorly implemented inheritance taxes should be fixed by improving them, not removing them.

I am indeed early in my education (I am an engineer and have a PhD in physics) but from what I know, science, roughly speaking says - "we know what we know". And what we know, we know it by thinking out some models and matching them with experimental data. If the model fits, it is good enough for now.

What we cannot model or measure yet - we do not know. Plain and simple. We do not try to push an agenda of a deity of some sort which did all of that and therefore the "explanation" is that god is great.

We admit that we do not know and, hopefully, we will know at some point but before then we do not put ourselves in the comfortable shade of someone sitting on a cloud in the sky who know it all (but does not want to share :))
Do you consider redistributing everything from the people to the dictator indistinguishable from the reverse?
this is why inertia.js is a positive path forward.

it relegates React, Vue etc to be view layers - purely view layers. all models / state etc handled by your monolith Rails, Laravel server. this simplifies a lot of things.

frameworks like Vue & Svelte have scoped styles which preserve knowledge of CSS. While Tailwind is convenient - a lot of people won't know the capability of CSS

and why it was named cascading & the customability of CSS for the user.
This seems incredibly shortsighted. If you're building an application by yourself you're gonna remember the relations and dependencies - but even on a small team (say ~4 devs) or even if you don't pick it up after a while, there is going to be stuff you forget.

It's also nice when you move stuff around, you can rely on the LSP to rename and fix everything that breaks. If you have a simple website it's fine, but when you start to have multiple components... Losing typing is a huge deal.

Universities aren't exactly a great model of freedom from private interests. And it's not clear why many of them do still charge tuition—i just assumed it was some effort to emphasize classism in a world where they also want to look gracious for paying for poor people.

And believe me, for the colleges I examined this at, tuition was a rounding error compared to the return on the endowment. It is just for aesthetics of charging students in a uniquely american show of stupidity.
I think one other point to consider in the content filtering: One of the first examples that was shown to me had in-video subtitles, which made the exercise too trivial, as the answers were essentially given away.
A friend of mine from Europe was very determined to visit the US this year, travelling through several states, meeting up with me along the way. He would have spent a lot of money here, but now that is not going to happen. Now there is no way he will travel here due to the hostility demonstrated by the current administration. I agree with his decision, he should stay away or risk being incarcerated because of an overzealous immigration gestapo, as has already happened to at least one European tourist. The US has gone mad, with a mad king that seems to hate everyone and everything as well as his deplorable minions.
This is so ridiculously naive. It's happening in every single major city in America.
> What GP seems to expect is that sync.Pool() would always return a zeroed structure, just as Golang allocation does.

One could define a new "Pool[T]" type (extending sync.Pool) to get these guarantees:

type Pool[T any] sync.Pool // typed def

func (p *Pool[T]) Get() T { // typed Get
pp := (*sync.Pool)(p)
return pp.Get().(T)
}

func (p *Pool[T]) Put(v T) { // typed Put

Honestly if I was American, I think I'd be pretty happy about that. Less strangers, less tourists, more Americans in America.

And if people still want so desperately to come in my country, they got to follow the rules, whatever how stupid and outrageous they are.

I know it's also contributing to slowing the economy, not only tourists but new talents, qualified migrants may think twice before getting in, external investment may be lower.

But does it really matter to the American farmer or blue collar ?
>This, however, is not the first time ghibli has had competition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_and_the_Witch's_Flower in fact they have a whole studio dedicated to copying ghibli: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ponoc

It is not "competition" and "copying", it is the fact that Ghibli almost closed for good several times, so some employees created their own studio.

>On August 3, 2014, Toshio Suzuki announced that Studio Ghibli would take a "brief pause" to re-evaluate and restructure in the wake of Miyazaki's retirement. He stated some concerns about where the company would go in the future. This led to speculation that Studio Ghibli will never produce another feature film again. On November 7, 2014, Miyazaki stated, "That was not my intention, though. All I did was announce that I would be retiring and not making any more features."[40] Lead producer Yoshiaki Nishimura among several other staffers from Ghibli, such as director Hiromasa Yonebayashi, left to found Studio Ponoc in April 2015, working on the film Mary and the Witch's Flower.
It's no wonder extraverted normie and managerial types that get through their day by talking think throwing words at a problem is the best thing since sliced bread.

They have problems like "compose an email that vaguely makes the impression I'm considering various options but I'm actually not" and for that, I suspect, the conversational workflow is quite good.

Anyone else that actually just does the stuff is viscerally aware of how sub-optimal it is to throw verbiage at a computer.

I guess it depends on what level of abstraction you're working at.
Thanks! Glad you like it! Yeah, it's built to be extendable, so I can easily add more tools in the future.
I have similar thoughts on LCARS: the Doylist requirement for displays that are bold enough and large enough to feel meaningful even when viewed on a 1990-era TV, are also the requirements for real life public information displays.

At first glance it feels like real life will not benefit from labelling 90% of the glowing rectangles with numbers as the show does, but second thoughts say spreadsheets and timetables.
