My favorite anecdote from Soul of a New Machine is about Josh Rosen, who designed the MV8000's arithmetic block. According to the story, after troubleshooting various timing and layout issues he left a note on his terminal:

"I'm going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."
I imagine this will make the "information wants to be free" people happy but, as I am not one of them, jesus christ. These are not serious people.
That is true, Coolify supports magic variables to make your life easier by automatically creating values like passwords and URLs, but you are not forced to use them, it is just there to make your life easier, some improvements to the naming and docs for the magic vars are planned.
Nothing stops people from using it that way.

I would kind of prefer appimages / flatpak's though ?

I think appimages are the best way if we can get aside from the fact of some limitiations it has if I remember like if you build the project on X then code can only run on linux versions on Y where there is some relation b/w X and Y , I know its very vague... It was some reddit post.

Man , I have watched / read so many posts that I only vaguely remember things but I really don't have exact bookmarks and it just feels so repetitive and kind of humiliating to say these again and again....
> Edit: You can also "hand feed" your jumping spider with a cotton swab dipped in sugar water. They drink flower nectar in the wild, so my wife and I tried this and it worked!

But don't they need live protein, like flightless fruit flies? I feel like the need to raise prey is the biggest downside to having a jumping spider pet.
If you are using Nixpacks, then yes it is used to build you docker image.
I don't see what would lead you to this conclusion. Multiple members of his cabinet have direct said the plan will do this, so it's not like they don't know they're collapsing the economy. His secretary of commerce (?) has published papers about wanting to remove the US dollar as the reserve currency and destroy our status as the hegemon in pursuit of us becoming a T-shirt sweatshop nation instead of an infotech powerhouse.

Heck, even Musk accidentally said the quiet part aloud on Twitter about burning it all down.
The real question is: how will programmers who start out learning to program with AI doing all the straightforward, clearly delineated and specified tasks for them, be able to make the jump to steering and overseeing AI when it struggles with more complex tasks?
The limiting time factor for me was the clicking around on the page. Allowing keyboard input somehow would be a plus.
Understandable , have a nice day.
I mean, if that were the case, then their previous behaviour on Ukraine seems baffling, as it has made the defence umbrella look, at a minimum, kinda tattered. Like, we are now in a world where Poland is talking to France about hosting French nuclear warheads. If you told someone in 2010 that that would be happening in 2025 they’d think you were completely insane.
Once upon a time, I ran out of money and was feeling kinda suicidal, so I thought, hey, why not take up whaling? and oh man, the captain. Where to begin? His white whale was an actual white whale. Not a beluga: I mean a sperm whale, horrifyingly white, and bigger than any other! And he had the most interesting conversations when he thought I wasn't listening… Anyway, I spent much of the voyage giving my religious opinions to anyone who'd listen. (I also have opinions about vegetarianism! And whiteness!) Alas, each who listened has drowned himself. Or was it God who drowned them? I have opinions on that, too!
Is this new? I tested it back in October 2024 and it didn't work.

I set up an app that would take a couple of seconds to return a request. Started a long benchmark and did a deploy. Got some errors right after deploying because the pending requests were killed.
Which is why we can compensate other humans (or cooperate with them in some way) to achieve things.
Like they did between 1932 and 1981?
It's hilarious that the excuse for needing Windows is to pretend that in this context that you would be using the game console as your primary operating system. That's what Linux is for. If the problem with Linux is that 20,000 modern games being supported isn't enough because you still need to play Fall Guys, which is a hilariously boutique thing to hang the whole legitimacy of Windows on, then your problem is better solved with a console than with adding Windows. The operating system was already accounted for. Amazingly, your preferred solution is to have the worse operating system and fewer games.

>Is it behind the times to prefer an OS where literally every single game I've played in the last year has booted with no issues?

You're copying the manner of my phrasing while turning it into a rhetorical question about a different topic, you're not being responsive to my point about it being behind the times to claim that Linux does not offer a thoroughly modern gaming experience.

I'm pretty sure that type of non sequitur response is exactly what the Onion was making fun of in its headline: "Hippie wants to tell you what the real crime is." The joke is the familiar feeling of hearing someone go off who clearly didn't pay attention to a word you said.
On the one hand, this is obviously nice. I'm seeing more and more thinning as I age.

On the other -- of course they founded a company and got backing from Google. People get to work on what they want to, and they should, but I feel the same way about esteemed cell biologists starting hair startups as I do brilliant computer scientists working on ad placement algorithms. There's a bit of a shame in there somewhere.
outside of text generation and search, LLMs have not delivered any significant value
> There are also some hotels with kitchens. Usually they have 'Suites' in their name. I stay at one most holiday seasons, we go and visit my folks and want to have a place where my family can cook without taking over my parents' kitchen.

These are okay, but they still have the antiseptic, overly-clean feeling of a space optimized for housekeeping. They will usually have a small couch or two, and maybe a table for 4. I have never seen one with a full dining room with table for 6; a fully stocked kitchen that includes non-perishable food staples, or any outdoor space. These things are common in AirBNB rentals, often at the same or similar price to nearby hotels.

AirBNB and VRBO absolutely opened a new market of accommodations compared to what was available before. These options may or may not be for the previous commenters, but it's silly to state universally that you can or should stay in a hotel instead. It's like saying "I love to ride my bike", and the reply being "you know you could ride a scooter to your destination, or drive a car."
If this was done two years ago HN would be talking about how great it is.
Could use a filter for pressurized cabin.
It is only Docker Compose that has some limitations, but for all other types of applications it is currently zero downtime, but improvements are planned in this area.
No one says, “Wikipedia knows everything.”
If that’s the case, then the articles premise is wrong. Property taxes aren’t hurting tenants, and they should be raised on landlords.
Final score: 4.0 :/

But pretty creative game. Thanks for sharing!
> IMHO interesting article that interacts with many debates on HN.

It's paywalled
As LLMs do things thought to be impossible before, LeCun adjusts his statements about LLMs, but at the same time his credibility goes lower and lower. He started saying that LLMs were just predicting words using a probabilistic model, like a better Markov Chain, basically. It was already pretty clear that this was not the case as even GPT3 could do summarization well enough, and there is no probabilistic link between the words of a text and the gist of the content, still he was saying that at the time of GPT3.5 I believe. Then he adjusted this vision when talking with Hinton publicly, saying "I don't deny there is more than just probabilistic thing...". He started saying: not longer just simply probabilistic but they can only regurgitate things they saw in the training set, often explicitly telling people that novel questions could NEVER solved by LLMs, with examples of prompts failing at the time he was saying that and so forth. Now reasoning models can solve problems they never saw, and o3 did huge progresses on ARC, so he adjusted again: for AGI we will need more. And so forth.

So at this point it does not matter what you believe about LLMs: in general, to trust LeCun words is not a good idea. Add to this that LeCun is directing an AI lab that as the same point has the following huge issues:

1. Weakest ever LLM among the big labs with similar resources (and smaller resources: DeepSeek).

2. They say they are focusing on open source models, but the license is among the less open than the available open weight models.

3. LLMs and in general all the new AI wave puts CNNs, a field where LeCun worked (but that didn't started himself) a lot more in perspective, and now it's just a chapter in a book that is composed mostly of other techniques.

Btw, other researchers that were in the LeCun side, changed side recently, saying that now "is different" because of CoT, that is the symbolic reasoning they were blabling before. But CoT is stil regressive next token without any architectural change, so, no, they were wrong, too.
It’s been ten years. The jury has returned. Rendered judgement. Left to a picnic. Come back. And since retired to a carefree life of llama farming.

Your argument is wistful thinking. Not fact. “Well, if maybe someone does it” isn’t a fact. Maybe someone will make a 8501 that outperforms my M4. But I won’t believe it till it is done.

And indeed it is close to thumb2. Which was purposefully rejected for aarch64. By careful study. Given that between the two, aarch64 looks to be much better thought-through, I’ll be giving the credit for making the right decision here to that team too.
What is Dark Matter? How to eradicate cancer? How to have world peace? I don't quite see how pattern-matching, alone, can solve questions like these.

As with other languages, you’d need bindings to another UI framework. In that sense, I wish SwiftUI had a different name because it seems intrinsic to Swift when it’s really no different than UIKit.

There’s stuff like SwiftCrossUI that does multiple backend bindings

https://github.com/stackotter/swift-cross-ui

And Qt was exploring some bindings using the new C++ interoperability.
Then those who vote for higher public services should be the ones to pay.

Which, if they did, would solve the left/right dichotomy. But no, those who want the public services want the money taken from the other half.

Here’s what I always remind myself about this current government: It is really the worst ideas conflated together, but it was that, or elect leftists in power.

At the thought of leftists in power, I think open data day at the IRS is really not bad.

Worse: I think the leftists are the firsts to be afraid of having the tax data spilled in public. We’d Trump’s records, but we’d also see the Dems’ records. And that’s something they’re afraid of.
OpenAI, Google reject UK's AI copyright plan
According to the voting population of El Salvador, yes.

If society has philosophically nice and clean set of rules that allow brutal gangs to terrorize the citizenry, just how worthwhile are those rules? Maybe the system needs a reboot before they can be worthwhile again.
You have to read past 40% of the article (1167 words of fluff) to get to what happened. Thanks for the narrative but better to just say the facts. Here's what should have been the actual lede:

> Since its debut, Glass’s brand of journalistic storytelling has resulted in countless superb installments of This American Life. It has also resulted in one devastating misfire. The nadir of the TAL approach is its January 6, 2012, episode, “Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory.” When it first aired, this show appeared to be yet another example of Glass’s artistry. A reworking of The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, a stage production by the monologist Mike Daisey that had been selling out theaters around the country, the program investigates how Americans, in their zeal for iPhones and iPads, have ignored the inconvenient truth that these sleek implements are largely manufactured by workers toiling in brutal conditions at the massive Foxconn complex in Shenzhen, China.

Tldr: a bunch of the allegations in the episode were false and got past TAL's production approach at the time, but they are more careful now.
It seems not to accept a correct answer, "ladel" for Wednesday, March 26, 2025 (minor spoiler, apologies!)
Interpret all information as "ambient texture", and if something catches your attention, ask why and what real value it contains - what is the essence, motivation. Real value is something that refines your current version of your understanding.

Try to recognize redundant information: if there is more than one version of something, it is some entity's implementation/opinion/recommendation/product of some general concept. E.g. there is only one real "programming language" that your computer cares about, machine code (few ISAs generally, of course), and the redundant noise comes from all other programming languages that we humans care and fight. Same is for computer programs: there is only one real computer program: operating system kernel (few OS's + bootloaders, of course), and all other software is just redundant noise that is loaded by the OS. Same applies for religions: if people believe in different gods, well, redundant noise if watched from outside. Political parties, countries, currencies, companies.. redundant implementations of general concept. Purify yourself from redundant information - don't let special cases confuse from the general case!
Anyone that has revisited a glacier they visited 10-20 years ago can see with their own eyeball(s) that the glaciers might still be there, but not for long at this rate. Besides, it begs the question of who made this “prediction” to begin with (yes, the U. S. National Parks Service at Glacier NP, which they’ve since corrected after much-deserved ridicule.)
Almost every contentious issue has a set of facts that support one side of the argument, while also having a set of facts that support the other side.

More often than not, a biased story is one that focuses exclusively on one set of facts while completely ignoring the other set. Fact checkers may catch falsehoods that are reported as facts, but they rarely point out obvious ommissions.
That's an ingestion problem
If this was two years ago the headline would’ve said USDS, not DOGE.
LOL yes. I have diagnosed and treated ADHD, and my therapist suspects (but it is currently undiagnosed) that I am autistic. Super fun times.
Mosquitoes bring nutrients back down the food chain, making it a food graph instead of a food tree.
I like the calendar where you can go back to play other days. Enhancement request: would be nice for this to have an indicator of which days you have already played.
This is true for most alternatives, but not for Coolify.

I am the second maintainer of Coolify and Andras and I maintain most of Core Coolify while we have 4 other maintainers helping with support and the docs and a few other maintainers who help with CLI and some other stuff.
I miss this style of internet humor. It used to be dominant whenever there were gaming forums and it was dominant also on Reddit even up through 2015 but I feel like it has mostly disappeared since then.
Why is changing one’s mind when confronted with new evidence a negative signifier of reputation for you?
I wish someone would write an electronics book for hobbyists solely using simulators like Falstad and PCB design using KiCad.
My wife and I are in our late 30s and did our first all-included resort trip about 2 years ago. It was boring and we went right back to our regular traveling of walking all over new countries to see the different culture and new places. Already planning our next 3 trips, none of them resorts.

I bought a Lenovo mini thinkstation with a serial port because I thought it would be cool. But I don't even know what cool stuff 8 can plug there, except for a serial console
But how else do they get the cure to the market?

(Provided it works, there are several such announcements every year but the actual progress is mediocre.)
The best concert I ever saw was one I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't caught a TV commercial for it the week before.

A moderately intelligent adult can understand that ads are biased and can separate the fact from the opinion. I want to know if there's a new pizza place that opened near me, that's a fact. I can resist taking their claim that it's the best pizza ever at face value. I don't need to fear it.

Advertising contains information. We can own the responsibility for deciding which information is valuable and which isn't.
All such reports are false

What else would you expect from the Liar-in-Chief?
Hey, I happen to own the vocal tool they used for this song and Digital Love. It's called the Digitech Vocalist. It's a MIDI-controlled pitch corrector, and it's the key to that whispery sort of grainy sound to Thomas's voice in both tracks. YouTube has plenty of demos of it, and one even directly of a Digital Love cover.
Isn't the goal to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and contribute to a cleaner environment?
People always say that working on hair growth is vanity and that there are more pressing issues to work on but I disagree.

Burn victims would like to have smooth skin with hair on it. Now I know this specific treatment probably won't help burn victims, but research on hair growth in general does.

Ultimately medicine is working towards a fountain of youth and if R&D can develop a revenue source from people who want their hair to grow back it's a means to further fund that quest for the fountain of youth and a reduction in human suffering.

It's not like people who buy toupees or hair transplants were going to otherwise spend their money on donations for burn victims.
> Next week, DOGE and IRS leadership are expected to host dozens of engineers in DC so they can begin “ripping up the old systems” and building the API, an IRS engineering source tells WIRED. The goal is to have this task completed within 30 days. Sources say there have been multiple discussions about involving third-party cloud and software providers like Palantir in the implementation.

Well yeah, obviously bring in Palantir. 10x the headcount so they can have the task completed in 3 days.
I wonder what lowering consumer confidence does to the economy? Ah well, surely it can't be that bad.
Oh we absolutely love bracket city, +1

I’ve showed it to my friends, and it’s stuck. My brother shared it with all of his coworkers and they’re now playing too.

It’s fun watching it “spread” amongst my social group
I intentionally stayed in the small integer range to avoid benchmarking the cache. 256 distinct values should fit into L1 just fine in both cases.

I'm now thinking that the difference might be even larger if we instead avoid small integers and let the CPU get stuck chasing pointers. The idea is that it gets stuck on a memory access, which forces it to speculate much further, which in turn makes it backtrack a longer path if a branch was mispredicted. I'm obviously no expert on this, feel free to correct me

The results for 1B range instead of 255 are 17.6 ms for unsorted / 68.2 ms for sorted! We are back to what the original article observed and it's a way stronger effect than what branch prediction can offer. So don't sort your arrays, keep them in the order the boxed values were allocated ;)
Molting their chitinous exoskeleton is a shared characteristic of a huge group of animals, which is named using a Greek word for this feature (Ecdysozoa) and which includes not only spiders and all other arachnids, but also all insects and crustaceans and all other arthropods, and also other animals related to arthropods, i.e. velvet worms, tardigrades, roundworms and several kinds of marine worms.

Molting is one of the features that makes difficult for arthropods to reach great sizes (because their skeleton and tegument cannot grow between moltings; it only is exchanged with a bigger external skeleton during molting), but otherwise it has been an important factor for the success of this group of animals, by allowing them to live in any environment, because their bodies are better separated and protected from the environment than for most other animals.
Could anything have changed since then?
We had one as a friend-pet for a while a few years ago. We went outside one day and found one leaf in our plum tree was tube-shaped with some spiderweb and after some waiting, off she came (I have no idea if it was male or female but Spanish is a gendered language and spiders are female, so we always referred to it as “her”).

Every day around noon she’d come out of her leave and wait to catch an insect. It was amazing to see her precisely jump to get it, and watching her eat was a mix of gross and interesting. I normally dislike spiders (though I don’t kill them unless I really feel threatened) but jumping spiders are an exception and I’d actually describe them as nice, almost pet/friend material.
Changing the data structure can in some cases also be a “don’t do it. “

I advised another engineer to write the code to generate error pages for the sites we host the same way I pre-generated stylesheets. He did not, and ended up making almost 50k service requests across four services to my 4500 across two. And then it broke after he quit because it tripped circuit breakers by making FIFTY THOUSAND requests. The people paying attention to capacity planning didn’t size for anomalous traffic.

He was trying to find a specific piece of customer data and didn’t notice it was in the main service and only needed to be parsed. So I didn’t just rewrite it to work like mine, I extracted code from mine to call from both and that was that. Went from an estimated 90 minutes to run it per deployment (I got exasperated trying to time a full run that never completed and instead I logged progress reports to figure out how many customers per minute it was doing) down to less than 5:00. And by not thrashing services that were being called by user-facing apps.

If that data hadn’t been in the original service I would have petitioned to have it so. You shouldn’t have to chain three or four queries to find a single column of data.
Yes, lots of exciting stuff coming soon.
Sports teams? Who cares?
It prevents Google from using or adopting it internally. For some “militantly open source” projects, this can be a feature.
Because there were plenty of evidences that the statements were either not correct or not based on enough information, at the time they were made. And to be wrong because of personal biases, and then don't clearly state you were wrong when new evidenced appeared, is not a trait of a good scientist. For instance: the strong summarization abilities where already something that, alone, without any further information, were enough to seriously doubt about the stochastic parrot mental model.
I agree, today's challenge was really easy. But I did enjoy the other days, I played all of them!

What I'd like is an option to show the answers after failing (not by default, so you can still choose to replay if you want). For instance, I cannot for the life of me get the music act that's associated with "FALMO".
