I actually disagree completely. Mastering the piano is different from mastering digital synthesis no doubt, but there are also distinctive commonalities that make and mark a master in both. A disproportionate investment of time or the effortlessness with which one can generate sounds imagined or perceived, as though the machine were a part of one’s own body, are attributes shared by both. Certainly someone could spend thousands of hours mastering different digital synthesis techniques, and I don’t think that’s easier than mastering the piano. There’s a fundamental competitive aspect to things like music that keeps mastery difficult to attain. If it weren’t difficult then it wouldn’t be as valuable and scarce. Once things become common and accessible, they quickly become boring and new genres are invented.
Impressive!

35 kLOC is quite a bit. I wonder how straightforward and maintainable this app ended up to be. This would require taking a look at the sources. While good Rails code tends to be very terse, frontend may be quite voluminous.

> I believe within a couple of months, when things like log tailing and automated testing and native version control get implemented

This sounds a bit too optimistic, especially around automated testing, but yes, eventually this all will be there.

> an extremely powerful tool for even non-technical people to write production-quality apps

But why would non-technical people would even think in terms of log tailing and version control, any more than they think about the gauge of wiring in their walls, or the kind of modulation their Wi-Fi device use? For really non-technical audience to make a good use of such tools, it won't just take the AI to be a competent coder. The AI should become a competent architect and a competent senior SWE to translate from the product management language to the software development language, without even surfacing it when not explicitly asked. It's going to be quite a bit of a challenge to make it work, and work about as reliably as with a human team.
Because they aren’t very hazardous. They’re slightly flammable due to their stored energy, and may contain toxic fire retardants like other electronics. But they’re completely benign compared with nuclear waste.
Starlink unfortunately is also not reliable for long-term just outside the US (or even inside).
Not sure you are aware, but there are quite a few European car brands.

They might be relatively unknown to you, but they absolutely exist, I'll let you know.
Since I wrote the blog post, I actually added automated tests which Windsurf / Claude Code runs before committing any change. It saved me a lot of headaches when the LLM decided to make random logic changes for no reason.

> That means LoRa and cellular network won't help either... That's good to know.

It does. If anyone is buried under the rubble "why don't they just tweet/SMS/mesh-network they are stuck" might be the first question someone would have. A simple answer is that the nearest GSM tower is also under rubble. But that's not enough. Even if the nearest GSM tower is 100% fine (or their next LoRa mesh peer is also fine), you need to be less than 12-15 inches of concrete (in the most optimal/reflective way) to have any signal at all. At the end of the day you're up against physics. 3 questions physics mandates:

1. What is the wavelength you're transmitting?

2. How far is your receiver?

3. What is your medium?

The keyword "Antenna Theory" or "Antenna Design" is a good rabbit hole for this sort of thing. There is this funny saying among radio enthusiasts "everything is an antenna if you squint hard enough"[1].

There is also something that cooks call "The Human Element"[2] when they're trying to evaluate the appeal of some foods to people. The "Human Element" in an "under the rubble" situation is that you want something that a normal human being would have on them when the sudden situation of an earthquake happens and they find themselves under a rubble.

I don't know what that is. I live in a place that is pretty far removed from earthquakes as a major problem. Geologically speaking, we get a "major earthquake" every 500 years or so. However, that's an average and it's been 600 years for us but the max has been 3,000 years and the min has been 200 and the mean means nothing to the individual. However, a device of some sort that can emit low frequency, low bandwidth[3], long range message seems like a useful thing. I don't know if that would be the type of device every human would have "on their body" all the time. But maybe??

[1] Everything that's electrically conductive is an RF antenna. If you get buried in the right place next to a 100 feet long rebar, you could (theoretically) send a signal that anyone in 100 mile range could hear provided you had the right equipment of course.

[2] In cooking, it is this elusive thing that explains how some cultures/people love certain tastes or textures that other cultures don't. Slimy foods in Middle Eastern or Japanese/Asian cultures vs Western Pallet for example.

[3] A device that needs to send "S.O.S" needs maybe 1byte/second or even less. You can't communicate any meaningful information in a seismic-pulse-signal type device, but "SOS" is certainly doable.

Résumé/CV: https://resume.peterolson.dev

Email: See résumé.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota in May of 2021 with a Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering. I realized my passion for programming while writing MATLAB code to model pollutant degradation in hydrologic systems.

After graduation, I enrolled in Genesis 10's Dev 10 Java developer bootcamp, where I learned to build containerized full-stack applications that run on AWS cloud infrastructure.

I'm presently a backend Java dev with 3 years of experience working on Spring Web Flux microservices and AWS cloud infrastructure in the financial services industry.

My current role has provided invaluable experience in navigating and contributing to established codebases, fostering a deep understanding of legacy systems and their maintenance. I've honed my collaborative skills by working closely with diverse tech teams, from initial problem identification through user feedback, to collaborating with architects to design and implement solutions that spanned multiple departments. This process involved not only technical development but also clear communication and thorough documentation. Additionally, I've taken on the responsibility of training new staff, ensuring they are equipped to contribute effectively, and I consistently address user issues, demonstrating my ability to handle technical communication and provide comprehensive support.

no metaphor is perfect, but I think figuring out who is impacted and how by decisions to rush or skip things is important.
Among Heroku and OpenAI bills, the project is apparently not optimized for low-cost operation just yet. Should it become popular, this may become an issue.
There’s a whole discipline which does nearly that, though they do not use this style of agent based model.

Generally agent based models have numerous parameters which can take many values (endowments, preferences) and the models don’t themselves give any guidance about how to set the parameters. Theory can give limited guidance (eg., that function is concave, this parameter is negative). Sometimes we have experimental data though its generalizability beyond the lab is uncertain.

What you want to do to create a scientific macroeconomics is to work backwards from the data you see in the economy (aggregate consumption, investment, etc.) and how you know the aggregates were generated (via the behavior of a lot of individual agents), and an equilibrium assumption to recover the parameters.

If you know the parameters of the model you assume, you can then simulate interesting counterfactuals. (And yes you assume the model - a “full” model including “all” of the individual endowments and parameters you can think of is completely intractable. You have to simplify.)

You’ll never get that out of the author’s computer game.

If you want references to the macro literature it’s enormous and I can provide them.
Open Deep Research – my implementation and what I've learned from it
With ATProto, you don't have to implement most of the federation. For your project specifically, it would be called an "AppView" in atproto lingo. You would...

1. store public data in the user's PDS (an api call instead of a db call)

2. listen to the firehose for records created by other frontends to your AppView (optional, especially early on)

Otherwise, it would be quite similar to any other social media site with mobile apps, a backend, and a database
I worked on at both companies on drivers. The programming models are quite different. Both make GPUs but they were designed by different groups of people who made different decisions. For example:

Nvidia cards are much easier to program in the user mode driver. You cannot hang a Nvidia GPU with a bad memory access. You can hang the display engine with one though. At least when I was there.

You can hang an AMD GPU with a bad memory access. At least up to the Navi 3x.
One of the nifty things about the target being JavaScript was that I didn’t have to finish it before I could run it—it was the sort of big library where typical code wouldn’t use most of the functionality. It was audio stuff, so there were a couple of core files that needed more careful porting (from whatever in Java to Mozilla’s Audio Data API, which was a fairly good match), and then the rest was fairly routine that could be done gradually, as I needed them or just when I didn’t have anything better to focus on. Honestly, one of the biggest problems was forgetting to prefix instance properties with `this.`
Check out the tech behind avalanche beacons for some inspiration. They are meant to locate bodies buried deep in snow debris fields within a meter precision. You have to also have a beacon to search for another beacon.
I wonder how those plots were made, they're neat. GNUplot?
I ask people to unplug their Ethernet cable and tell me the colors they see on the wires all the time.

I don't care, of course. But they'll happily do that, where if I ask them to verify if the cable is properly plugged in, 99% of them will just say yes without so much as glancing in the cables' direction.

That is not to be confused with (dynamical) and non-visible tracking info on printed sheets, which in fact can have everything coded in. By that, even 1-bit printouts can be identified up to the source. If the printer model and #salt is printed alongside, the prosecution has evidence for the cases the printer involved.

That's all true, and probably a better system overall, but burning an optical disk, labelling it, and putting it on a shelf does feel like a more accessible backup regime for many people. :-)

Ohm lordy, we're blaming the student for not having years of homebrew experience before he entered school? Sure any hobbiest knows what a 555 is, but when the lab assistant doesn't even catch it and the chip was handed out to the student this is not an entry-level students fault.

"Good enough" by what metric? I mean all art is subjective.

I agree your argument based on supply and demand. But, my point was that the creative adventures are not rewarded well enough in our system, and somehow things that are terribly meaningless like ad-optimization attracts so much revenue that companies don't know what to do with. This imbalance is upsetting.
> Yeah but what if we start seeing only using this new awesome tool?

It seems it may be relatively accessible to take a few representative tasks and actually measure the soup-to-nuts energy consumed at the plug. Would be very interesting to see in tandem with the power optimizations!

The whole point of subsidizing was that authors can make a living, perhaps. I am not sure I follow you. But also, if subsidies are a thing, wouldn't you agree that it is better spent on issues like these, however?

Check out pseudoTV
(1) It's incorrect to assume that the content published on HN benefits only the VCs, and none of the other participants.

(2) This particular post is an interesting data point in the research of what the current crop of LLM-based tools is capable of. It reads a bit like a Windsurf ad; I would like more details on how the technical side of the development panned out, what were the problems and where, how were they overcome, etc.

(3) The parent comment reads as a somehow funny mix of socialist "anti-greed" agenda and frowning upon the fact of sharing knowledge and experience freely.
How does this compare with Turso? I know it's mentioned in the article (mainly better support for partial replication and arbitrary schemas), but is there also a deeper architectural departure between the two projects?

Looks really good, great work!

GP's just returning to the Unix style, though they typically had /usr on NAS (which is why some things were in /bin instead of /usr/bin, for example.)
On one of my internships there was a small handheld radio floating around the office. I changed it to some local AM jazz station, set it to the lowest possible volume (such that it was barely audible), and hid the radio inside another interns desktop. I told the other interns about it, and we agreed that whenever he asked anyone if they could hear music, that we would tell him we couldn't hear anything.

At first he seemed mildly annoyed but mostly ignored it. You couldn't always hear it depending on what song was playing, so that helped keep it hidden for a while. Fast forward one week, we came back from lunch to find that the guy had disassembled almost everything in his cubicle before finding it. He angrily held up the radio and called us all jackasses. I have a little chuckle every time I remember this!
Sme of these jobs have been open for the last few months. A similar post was even made under the previous month's thread.
It does seem like the effects (perhaps both positive and negative) increase when we go from individual artists copying the Ghibli style, to something like Thomas Kinkade Studios reproducing paintings at industrial scale, to the current endgame of Ghibli-as-a-Service, available on-demand via ML models trained on the original works.

Artists don't seem happy with the pipeline of companies digesting their work, usually without permission, into ML models that are used to generate thousands of imitation works. Perhaps it is the issue of commoditizing someone's painstakingly developed individual style, or simply of competing with the artists themselves with realistic commissions that can be generated rapidly at almost zero cost.
Gentoo? Compiling big packages takes ages.
I think the most crucial takeaway for me is that NTSB finding of how often this was almost happening for over a decade. That's guilt by inaction at that point. I understand that some flights need the security of being un-broadcasted, but I struggle to think they happen so often. It feels like the FAA is really saying that they're raising the bar for being able to turn off the ADS-B which I agree with completely. Too bad it's 10+ years too late.
What about muon imaging?

What about Rydberg sensors for VLF earth penetrating imaging, at least?

From "3D scene reconstruction in adverse weather conditions via Gaussian splatting" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42900053 :

> Is it possible to see microwave ovens on the ground with a Rydberg antenna array for in-cockpit drone Remote ID signal location?

With a frequency range from below 1 KHz to multiple THz fwiu, Rydberg antennae can receive VLF but IDK about ELF.

IIRC there's actually also a way to transmit with or like Rydberg antennae now; probably with VLF if that's best for the application and there's not already enough backscatter to e.g. infer occlusion with? https://www.google.com/search?q=transmit+with+Rydberg+antenn....
Realtime control logic for infrastructure.

The basic decision making logic needs to be very simple and easy to follow by scientists and people who aren't day-to-day software engineers: Basically, input some data, such as sensor readings, run it through an algorithm that makes decisions, and then output the decisions.

There was a somewhat similar search for these duplicate galaxies as evidence for a universe with positive curvature. Because in that case if you look deep enough you'll see more images of the same galaxies although they'll be further back in time and possibly shifted in the way you're describing by the cosmic structure. It didn't pan out obviously.

The Florida Computer Crimes Act was passed in 1978 so as you can imagine it’s very draconian. I’m pretty sure it was a misdemeanor for 16-year-old me to boot Linux from a live USB as a means to get around the IE-only web filter the school district used.

I got my products mixed up in my head. I retract that. Thanks.
The same thing happens in organic chemistry. You're graded by your yield. If you put 10 units of A in, cooked up 9.9 units of product B, great job! But if it's 0.01 units, good luck, or 0, heaven save you. of course, they might give you 15 units of A to begin with, you're only to use 10. So at the end of it, you get 9.9 out out of 15 in, and say you only put 10 in. Of course, if you get 14 units of product out of "10" in, you just cut down the product accordingly. I'm pretty sure with organic chemistry lab being a core pre-med course, that this might be more the norm than the exception.
