Seems like you should be correct. A shadcn button is just react, tailwind, and @radix/react-slot. But if you simply create a new shadcn Next.js template (i.e. pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init) and add a button, the "First Load JS" is ~100kB. Maybe you could blame that on Next.js bloat and we should also compare it to a Vite setup, but it's still surprising.

I absolutely love the idea. I would honestly use this. However, when I tried the English learning, it incorrectly marked words wrong several times. Something to check out.
Ask HN: Cursor, but for Data Exploration?
If I am trying to read/explore/join/ETL deeply nested tables in PSQL or Spark, Cursor doesn't seem to work very well for me.

Which LLM-assistant tools have worked for you to expedite data exploration? Whether in a notebook format or otherwise.

Or is there simply a better way to use Cursor for this purpose that I haven't thought of?
K3s installs super fast.

Writing your first yaml or two is scary & seems intimidating at first .

But after that, everything is cut from the same cloth. Its an escape from the long dark age of every sysadmin forever cooking up whatever whimsy sort of served them at the time, escape from each service having very different management practices around it.

And there's no other community anywhere like Kubernetes. Unbelievably many very good quality very smart helm charts out there, such as https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami just ready to go. Really sweet home-ops setups like https://github.com/onedr0p/home-ops that show that once you have a platform under foot, adding more services is really easy, showing an amazing range of home-ops things you might be interested in.

> Last thing I need is Kubernetes at home

Last thing we need is incredibly shitty attitude. Fuck around and find out is the hacker spirit. Its actually not hard if you try, and actually having a base platform where things follow common patterns & practices & you can reuse existing skills & services is kind of great. Everything is amazing but the snivelling shitty whining without even making the tiniest little case for your unkind low-effort hating will surely continue. Low signal people will remain low signal, best avoid.

Yea you can play the scales at any starting position to change the root note and the scale remains the same fret spacing as if you started with an open string, only now it starts at the fret you chose for the root. See 'fretboard logic' for more info.
The Miyazaki quote is always taken out of context, the disgust he utters has nothing to do with automation of grunt work and everything to do with the horror content he just witnessed. Miyazaki is not one who insists on everything Ghibli being hand drawn, his son even uses cartoonish CGI, which I think looks awful.

This type of quality is close to enabling a storyboarder like Miyazaki do an entire animation on their own. I have yet to hear him say he would not use such technology, despite him being rather opinionated.
unfortunately we've already been targeted by a small scale DOS attack (or wallet attack?), and account creation on our most expensive model was the only way we could solve the problem for now :/

I find it a bit surprising that TLA+ with PlusCal can be challenging to learn for your average software engineer, could anyone with experience in P show an example of something that can be difficult to express in TLA+ which is significantly easier in P?

Another possible reason might be outreach. NVIDIA spends big money on getting people to use their products. I have worked at two HPC centers and at both we had NVIDIA employees stationed there, whose job it was to help us get the most out of the hardware. Besides that, they also organize Hackatrons and they have dedicated software developer programs for each common application, be it LLMs, Weather Prediction or Protein Folding, not to mention dedicated libraries for pretty much every domain.
Rock Rabbit | Backend Engineer | Full-time | USA FULLY REMOTE

Buildings account for ~40% of all emissions. There is a ton of federal, state, and local programs to help decarbonize buildings -- but this money is difficult to access, trapped behind complicated program requirements, uncertain eligibility, lack of clarity, and long payout cycles. We make access to these incentives easy by abstracting away the policy complexity and letting our users focus on their projects. Our platform serves contractors, homeowners, incentive providers and implementers, and equipment manufacturers.

We're hiring Backend Engineers for full time roles.

We're well-funded, have a lot of customer traction, and are rapidly expanding the team. Our product vision is very clear -- the bottleneck is skillful, user-focused execution.

Tech stack: Python (FastAPI, pyright), Google Cloud (GKE), React (Typescript, react-query, auto-gen API client)

We value curiosity, ownership and collaboration. Interest in energy, climate, and sustainability is a plus.

Based on work done by svelte and solid, I think it is possible to shave base react down to half its current size, but it appears nobody (inside or outside of Meta) is willing to take on this challenge.

Unfortunately, the tradeoffs are still in favor of react and will continue to be in favor of react for the foreseeable future.

Most importantly it is next to impossible to get developers to give up DX (and muscle memory) for smaller JS bundles.

>>Limiting the snowball effect of the wealthy getting wealthier generation after generation through no contribution of their own is considered a societal good

Again, so please tell me why you don't think we should be taxing it at 100%, to maximise the societal good?

I already pay effective rate of 40% of tax on all my earnings - am I not doing enough for "societal good"?
Is this what it has come to? Trying to twist every single word as much as possible against their author in the least honest way possible?

I stand with what you quoted. This was a honest and rather matter-of-fact statement... But I obviously deserver to be shot for it by the "progressists" it has somehow managed to offend.
Exactly. It creates perverse incentives. One of the main drivers for millions of humans to work harder is to leave a better economic situation for their children and grandchildren. You remove that incentive and the economy will tank immediately.

It’s not only perverse but completely anti-human.
Will never understand why this needed a nonprofit organization at all, ever. It's a personal goal in an agreed-upon timeframe; it's a task tailored for local gatherings, not an international non-profit organization that needed a $1.3M annual budget and 12 paid staff.

There's a bullet point on a slide:

> The hope was that the community would come through and support us when we were transparent about the organization's financial problems. That didn't happen.

Probably a good sign that the non-profit wasn't valued, much less required, by peer groups of prospective and active writers to set personal goals over a month they collectively pick, hold each other accountable, and provide feedback to each other.

They acknowledge this in the slide deck, too. Many (arguably most) of the friction came from the fact that the non-profit wasn't necessary for writers to self-organize in Discords and other venues, but because the non-profit existed, it took the brunt of the complaints, even when it had nothing to do with them (whether loud on AI and minors participating, or quiet on the fact that after you've done it once, it becomes an expoentially less valuable goal to do it again, and the non-profit offered no meaningful evolution of the concept).
> If you believe they're worse at their jobs, you should demonstrate that in some other way.

Signalgate. The initial occurrence, the lying after, the demonizing of the reporter, the dismissal of its importance.
That would be like exposing a first year CS student to a situation where "it could be a compiler bug" is one of the potential explanations.
The idea of an asymmetric Chess starting position is very interesting, although it does introduce more risk of one side starting with a big advantage (perhaps this has been analyzed).

I also like that in this variant, castling works like normal -- that is one of the most unintuitive aspects of Chess960.
I don't know how difficult is the admission in US college but the achievements of the son are a bit too much to be believable
I would assume that you don't have access to the lab(and diagnostic equipment) at all times and taking other classes.

Also him being a student, having the wrong component was probably not in his mental troubleshooting tree. I would guess that it was not in the lab assistant's troubleshooting tree either.

Also once you start down the road of troubleshooting, a false trail can lead you far into the woods.

Dual RTX 5090 Beats $25,000 H100 in Real-World LLM Performance
Good point. I'm often running multiple parallel jobs with varying priorities where uniform throttling actually makes sense. Many LLM inference tasks are long-running but not fully utilizing hardware (often waiting on I/O or running at partial capacity)

The dual Epyc CPUs (128 cores) in my setup have a relatively high idle power draw compared to consumer chips. Even when "idle" they're consuming significant power maintaining all those cores and I/O capabilities. By implementing uniform throttling when utilization is low, the automation actually reduces the baseline power consumption by a decent amount without much performance hit.

There is ErsatzTV which works with Jellyfin (see the clients page) https://ersatztv.org/docs/intro

It was pretty janky the last time I tried it last year though. When it worked, it was awesome, but when things didn't work quite correctly (or at all), it was frustrating and difficult to figure out how to fix.

In that case, "art generated with code" is the overall umbrella which contains the demoscene, and the AI art scene, and many other scenes. So it's not what the demoscene is turning into, for the same reason you wouldn't say "trees are what apple trees are turning into".

Since you cannot (it is technically not possible) create an ML model reproducing a style without having it ingest original works in that style, and such a tool is producing derivative works based on original work (let’s say, by Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli) at scale and for profit, then I have difficulty seeing how copyright law is not involved.
Medieval Tales of Merlin and Arthur, Hidden for Centuries, Return to Light
Hedonic adaptation seems destined to undo widespread appreciation for any progress, wonder, or joyful experience. That dampens the prospect that societies can become durably happier by banishing disease or poverty. But since hedonic adaptation is just perception, no more fundamentally real than an optical illusion, maybe other illusions can counter it.

A Shepard tone can produce the illusion of a sound that continually goes up in pitch, yet never goes beyond the range of human hearing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

Maybe there is some intervention that can produce a hedonic illusion along the same lines: rising joy every day as if you lived your best experiences for the first time, joy even if you are not socially elevated over others, joy that cannot be diminished by comparison or repetition. Since it's logically impossible for everyone to be The Cleverest, The Most Popular, or The Person With the Most Attractive Spouse, (much less to reach those pinnacles for the first time every day), improvements in quantifiable material conditions will not durably quell dissatisfaction at the population level. No more than better eyeglasses will end optical illusions. We need material improvements and we need perceptual counter-illusions against our natural illusion that things never really get better.
I had a benign irregular heartbeat (Premature Ventricular Contractions) for half my life. During one checkup the cardiologist said my heart had become enlarged to compensate, and if I wanted an energy boost I should get an ablation surgery.

The ablation was quite the experience as I was kept conscious throughout (and I felt euphoric thanks to the painkillers). A team of students carefully threaded a wire in through my femoral artery, guided it up to the inside of the heart and zapped the problematic cells. I could actually feel the moment they fixed it. One moment my rhythm was irregular, the next it was regular. They then ran a series of stress tests that included injecting me with something that pushed my heart rate above 200 bpm. That was uncomfortable. I was back to my normal routine 24 hours later and I did indeed have more energy.
Two nice things about F# are that you can introduce it into an organisation using the dotnet ecosystem and that you can use all libraries in dotnet, which is a huge advantage over OCaml.

Otherwise, I am happy with OCaml, but F# has also a place in this world.
Drugs and cartels were a problem in Mexico before the peso crisis of the 1990s.

Traffic, for example, came out in 2000 and was based on the ongoing drug war in Mexico. The primary antagonists are the Tijuana Cartel, was formed in the 1980s out of the remnants of the Gaudalara Cartel originally formed in the late 1970s, and the Juarez Cartel, originally formed in 1970. Both cartels have since been superseded by more violent cartels.
I learned React back in the class component days. I recently picked it back up and found functional components and hooks to be absolutely baffling. Does anyone know why they went down this route?
I agree. Toil itself is not valuable or noble. We, as a society, should work towards reducing the training, skill level, and manual effort needed to achieve things. There is no need to artificially gatekeep activities behind needless toil.

This kind of mentality would ban Star Trek replicators, should they be invented one day. "In my day, you had to actually make things, we didn't get to replicate them, so we shouldn't, even if it's possible!"

> Networks are fast.

Well, it depends on what you mean by “fast”: bandwidth or latency? While the bandwidth has improved enormously over the years, latency… not so much. And it never will due to the simple fact that the speed of light is limited.

Most of the slowness seems to come about by treating latency as something that doesn’t matter (because the testing is done on a local, low-latency network) or will improve radically over time because bandwidth did (which it will not).

Unfortunately, React wants to be both a rendering library and also manage state by tying it to the component lifetime, which encourages cascaded fetching - exactly the kind of workload that is sensitive to latency.
The point is that it's not actually different from C#, especially once you consider that F# also has task{} blocks that give you a .NET Task directly.
+1 this definitely makes sense, since you're gonna have a million verbs ending in "masen", just make it a separate word and understand that it's just part of the conjugation.
