Show HN: Clawtype v2.1 – a one-hand chorded USB keyboard and mouse [video]
Written in Rust (embassy), running on a SparkFun ProMicro RP2040 board, with an MPU6050 gyroscope. Based on the Chordite idea from John W. McKown (https://web.archive.org/web/20220201061603/http://chordite.c...). Intended for use with XR glasses I recently bought. Currently my typing speed is still rather slow, but my skill is graduably improving and at a noticeable pace, and I can and do some vim coding in my hobby time. I plan to try and do a wireless (BLE) version next, hopefully running off a single AA NiMH battery. The code is at: https://github.com/akavel/clawtype
How to Build Influence and Install Heat Pumps
Back in the day when C's closest competitor was Pascal, C wasn't particularly hard to use. Pascal was easier for manipulating strings and C better at doing low level data manipulation.

But at the time there was little need for high level abstractions, and it was fine to just allocate an array with N number of entries and that was the maximum the program allowed.

Today we're dynamically allocating memory with intricate relationships, especially in object oriented programming.

This makes C look really hard to use – but it can actually be much improved with just an improved string library and a good dynamic array.

But there are also cross platform concerns for things like networking and here C offers little to help.

Regardless whether you're using Zig, C3 or Odin you're going to have a much easier time than C with straight up libc.

So I think a better comparison is that Zig is a bit like using the C++ containers. If you've ever struggled to mutate a std::vector while iterating over it, you know it's a bit complicated to figure out exactly what functions fit where.

The final solution might be performant, but it's a lot more to remember than say `iterator.remove_element()` that you might encounter in some other language. However, it does offer more ways to tweak it, and it's very explicit in what happens.
Intentionally nuking stocks causes investors to retreat for safety in bonds specifically treasuries. Demand for treasuries drives the interest rates on them down. The US has to refinance $10 trillion of existing debt this year. By driving rates down it save the federal government hundreds of billions in interest payments.

He has actually reposted a video confirming this outlook.

Another angle is he is targeting China. China is in a precarious domestic economic sitaution as well. It weakens China by reducing its exports. In addition tariffs if high enough for long enough encourage local manufacturing. If we go to war with China over Taiwan, it will be very easy for China to convert existing commercial factories to produce military goods. Much harder for us as so much of our manufacturing infrastructure has lain fallow. Its not a good idea to go to war with the country that makes everything you rely on.

I'm not saying these are valid ideas or it will play out like that. I'm saying this is what admin is thinking.

Also if you feel like a read, this is a paper by Trumps leading economic advisor Stephen Miran

what is your definition of non trivial?
Can you give a few of the specific "multiple sources" you mention?

I see posters on HN trot this out, but I'm yet to see any evidence of this. Can you point to a couple of reliable news sources reporting on this so I can read more for myself?
I'm willing to believe this administration is acting in good faith, but two things seem to contradict that, although maybe I'm wrong:

1. Why didn't they include services exported by the US in their 'tariff chart' ? The EU for example, imports a lot more US (tech amongst others) services than they export to the US. It seems disingenous

2. Why couldn't this tariff strategy be implemented in a more calculated, predictable, slow way to give everyone time to adjust, at home and abroad. What's to gain from doing it this way over the one I mentioned ?
Software developers and management rarely have the statistics chops to create actually good metrics and data collection.

Just writing everything down isn't data. You have to have a standardized methodology and low-ambiguity signals. You should have systems of blinding.

What's your proposed metric for "productivity" for software developers? You could probably get a management prize for it.
According to Gates, he wrote the Model 100's software himself. It was indeed his final major software project as a coder.
Instead of barter, everyone in the world buys and holds YOUR money so that they can trade with others. Everyone else's trade = trade deficit = free money (because you are basically selling your dollars, not a product) that you can spend on stuff.

You are too smart to actually not get this. You call it fake as if money isn't just made up 100% fake 'value units' we all agree to pretend (thus making it real) is real.
> Do policy-makers pander to computing in general?

At the current president's inauguration, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai, and Musk were all seated next to each other right behind the president. Their companies have some of the largest computing footprints in the world.

Some specific ways they've been pandered to include the repeal of net neutrality and reduction in antitrust activity.

> “People incessantly telling you how they use it.”

This happens in too many ways to count. A majority of popular media glamorizes and flaunts wealth and what it buys you - like Succession, The Kardashians, Billions, and all the reality shows about wealthy housewives, about real estate agents and house flippers, about an unreflective businessman who likes firing people, and so on.

Many ordinary individuals do much the same thing on their instagrams, linkedins, etc.

> (Especially for the author who isn’t in the US.)

If we're supposed to be able to identify "it" purely by the statements in the post, then where the author is from isn't really relevant. And capitalism in other places may be less extreme than in the US, but many of the same concerns still apply.
Very cool will try this. Does the Navy reject people with red/green color blindness?
I think Grok is the best for asking about current events but I kind of hate how it always tries to turn everything into a conversation. But that's just my opinion! What do you think is the most annoying feature about Grok?

^ like that.
And labor shifts from activities where we have comparative advantage (highly skilled labor) to things where we have less comparative advantage (low skilled labor).

So now you have a lower skill low pay job and paying more than before.

I cannot make sense of it other than as a few others posted here that Trump is preparing for war and wants to soften the blow of the interruption to international trade by making sure we are more prepared for isolation.
Wait until you learn about how money works.
> were also the economists who claimed that sanctions would destroy the Russian economy.

This is _very much_ up for debate. It's been a couple of years since Russia went completely dark on publishing key numbers on their economy. [This was three years ago.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRgS6gpiMX0). They had a large war chest ready before they went to war (part of which has been frozen in the west), and there are a lot of signs that they are on their last stretch before things go really bad for them.

Predicting _when_ things go bad is very difficult, so I do not hold that against said economists. The most telling sign is that the first thing the Russians ask for is for sanctions relief before any peace negotiations.
Best of luck to you. I hope it won't be as bad, but I am reminded of my grandfather losing most of his hard-earned life savings during the changeover from communism to democracy in Russia. I'm sure it was devastating for him, but we took care of each other and he ended up OK. Alas, sometimes shit just hits the fan.
>It is also notable that Chinese competitiveness has only increased as they have engaged in decades of state economic planning and market barriers

How is China's own economy doing these days?
With what I’ve seen I don’t believe the administration is acting in good faith. Everything about their behavior suggests otherwise.
I guess if its never happened to you its never happened at all.
Word vectors for the same concept in different languages are very close, that's not really surprising. The whole `v_king - v_male + v_female = v_queen` idea leads to an intuition that `v_grazie - v_italien + v_deutsch = v_danke`.

Code switching probably appears a lot in both literature and audio from some contexts too.

Why would it matter that a concept is expressed in a different human language? How would you structure a multilingual LLM that it couldn't syncretise languages in this way? You'd seemingly need to properly segregate the languages.
language will be solved when LLMs are translating Whale's songs to human language imo.
Why did she (explicitly) hate Plato so much?
There's no coherence here, the people coming up with this policy are either ignorant or incompetent to the point of malice (Navarro, AKA "Ron Vara," being the benchmark). Tariffs, when used judiciously, can help support "infant industries" where domestic investment in emerging technologies means that supply constraints are less of a concern and where there are long-run expectations of lower domestic prices through efficiencies. In some cases, targeted punitive sanctions (against dumping policies, or to enforce labor and environmental standards) make sense, but the economic evidence on efficacy is mixed.

There is somewhat of an argument that countries such as China overuse American consumption as a crutch for development, rather than stimulating domestic consumption (Xi has, to give very mild credit, proposed policies to increase domestic demand); tariffs would certainly force countries and trade blocs to focus on non-American consumption, though this is a bit like losing weight by removing the patient's esophagus.

What we're seeing here is just ridiculous, from an economic perspective. Low-cost low-margin manufacturing is not coming back to the US, absent an economic crisis that pushes down to a upper-middle-income-level state (stay tuned!), while putting tariffs on agricultural products simply ensures that consumers will pay more without a corresponding increase in domestic competition (how many pineapples does the US grow?). The "calculation" of the tariffs, such as it is, is simply a tax on comparative advantage, which is mercantilist nonsense we left behind centuries ago. There's no steelman for this; even if there were, the increase in raw material costs would make the steelman unaffordable for us both.
The PRC were subsistence farmers when they pegged their money.

Ths USA was the number one economy when Trump pegged us.
Okay I guess we’ll play pretend and wait and see.
I voted for Trump, I think they have very large aspirational ideas. I think they have a very shallow bench to implement the low level details.

They are also just terrible at communication, needlessly aggressive and bombastic

Does anybody want this? Increasing costs and financial chaos aren't good for anyone. Congress needs to do their job and fix this: revoke (or amend) the "emergency" economic powers that allowed Trump to do this in the first place. I realize that is unlikely to happen.
Food is not entirely local. CA gets majority of fruits from Mexico, Peru, Chile etc. Olive, Sunflower, and other oils are imported. Many spices are imported. Lumber tariffs will impact housing and repairs. Any thing with semi-conductors will be expensive: routers, modems, tablets, phones.

Middle class expenses may arise around 5-10% at the very least.
If this were indeed the case, I’m not sure tariffs are the right direction to do it.

Principally, that a company would need more guarantees on their capital investment that extend beyond a single president’s term. Since tariffs can be revoked at any moment, companies will want more assurances that the long path of capital investment will be worthwhile, or else they might find themselves disadvantaged before even getting off the ground.

They would find themselves lobbying the government to hold back the free market for them within a few years time.
undergrad and graduate school are completely different...?
Yes indeed, but OP is not Gumroad.
> part of the solution to ARC. I don’t know where this persistent myth comes from,

Part of, explicitly, not the, quite 100% explicitly. The TL;DR is "LLMs can't do it alone, program synthesis leveraging LLMs is my bet". Not "Maybe not LLMs but they'll certainly help us get there!", quite the opposite! Hence: well, TFA. And the intellectually lazy quote we are explicitly discussing. And anything Chollet has said on the subject. [^1]

You're proposing that advanced pattern recognition is a sign of NOT being intelligent?

Was the above comment nonsense, or did it have a pattern? If a real person happened to know ten languages and played along in this game with you, would you also see that as evidence that they are not intelligent?
> also the economists who claimed that sanctions would destroy the Russian economy. They had the opposite effect, for reasons that still remain somewhat unclear.

On what timeframe did they say that?

There’s a good argument they ARE working to that end, just not as fast as policymakers would like. See the RU economic weakness in September.

One can make a decent argument that the sanctions were insufficient as Russia is effectively a petrostate (now with industry on a war footing) and the sanctions largely avoided RU oil/gas. Also China took up the slack by buying whatever Russia was willing to sell, and in Russian currency which extended their runway.

Lastly, Russia predicted the sanctions as a response to their Feb 2022 invasion because similar things happened before, so they planned ahead and made themselves resilient to The US dollar financial system locking them out (the same way they made their internet resilient to foreign sovereigns potentially cutting them off.
Because those ither countries would and do lie all the zime to placate delusional western citizens . it would result in tax carousels with countries were there is no legal recourse.
What makes you think a twice impeached president who incited an insurrection would act in good faith?
Correct; it doesn't. However,

(1) Tariffs will not affect all commodities in the same class equally, creating a natural price advantage, even at the level of consumers. While not absolute autarky, demand will continue to shift to less externally-dependent goods, which has and will continue to reduce our liability.

(2) Ideally congress would codify the tariffs to prevent that. That said, it seems the first Trump term tariffs did induce production onshoring, despite that uncertainty.

What would it take to change your mind on these tariffs?
Ask HN: What RAG evaluations do you care about?
I'm currently in the process of improving the testing part of our infrastructure at Morphik (https://github.com/morphik-org/morphik-core). There seem to be a lot of different RAG evaluations out there, and I'm just curious which ones you care about the most.

Of course, these will be different based on use cases, but I'd love to learn more about your use case, and which benchmark or eval matters the most for it and why.
> best solved with what used to be called symbolic AI before it started working

Right, the current paradigm of requiring an LLM to do arbitrary digit multiplication will not work and we shouldn’t need to. If your task is “do X” and it can be reliably accomplished with “write a python program to do X” that’s good enough as far as I’m concerned. It’s preferable, in fact.

Btw Chollet has said basically as much. He calls them “stored programs” I think.

I think he is onto something. The right atomic to approach these problems is probably not the token, at least at first. Higher level abstraction should be refined to specific components, similar to the concept of diffusion.
The chief justice prior to our current chief justice (Rehnquist) wrote a memo as a clerk arguing against the holding in Brown v Board and bought a house in a neighborhood where it was illegal to sell homes to Jews while he was on the supreme court.

A huge amount of our current law was built by segregationists.
There's also a moral issue at play:
To safeguard the interests of a few publishers (sometimes the creators, but they can easily end up with a shitty deal) you remove freedoms to the entire population to copy the same idea.

You need a central structure funded by everyone's taxes which enforce a contract almost nobody of the infringers has signed.

That's appaling, I hope with this AI wave we'll get rid of copyright all together.
But why single out Russia and North Korea for exemption?
As a Vegan, maybe I'm a little biased, but I often think about what the implications of a universal translator would be, if it did infact give us the ability to understand animals. What would that imply if you could drive by a slaughterhouse and be able to understand animals saying goodbye to their loved ones... assuming this is happening.. Would all slaughtering stop? Or would people be okay with that? Interesting times ahead if there is any possibility for ML to translate animal language.
Claude is much better than ChatGPT at low-resource languages, at least it was a year ago, I haven't tested on new models from OpenAI but I believe that Claude still has an edge.

For example, when ChatGPT was outputting nonsense in Georgian, Claude was speaking it fluently, when ChatGPT learned Georgian, Claude was able to speak Mingrelian.

Even if you hold those views (with which we'd all, I hope, vigorously disagree), America is _still_ your jam, up to and until they mutate into crimes / criminal attempts / incitements to crime etc. The ways this administration has persued removal either violate that boundary, or require stretching the boundary around the right-hand side to its absolute limit.
It has zero to do with material demands. Those lost the elections. What won them was conservatives stroking fears about trans, women and such. Talking about material demands is just repeating past mistakes.

Actual economical or other results have nothing to do with anything. It was not about that. Democrats thinking them being objectively better for economy might do something is what looses the elections.
VC bros want a recession so they can buy everything for cheap. I'm sure they are very very happy right now. Pay attention to REITs.
C3 allows arbitrary extensions of any types, so things like `vec1.dot(vec2)` is actually implemented as a generic method macro over all vector types added by the math module.

Given Zig's preference for closed modules, I don't expect this to be on the roadmap, but rather would need to be implemented as functions.
The point is the UX is identical with Coolify on a cheap VPS compared to overpriced Heroku/Netlify/Vercel.

Just comparing exact performance and price and features.

A blank linux VPS has a different UI/UX.

Why does it seem like you're deliberately misunderstanding? Do you work for a platform?
Not to mention China has been going hard into green energy. Both manufacturing it and using it themselves. It's the cheapest form of energy, and as you noted: much less pollution, which has a huge economic impact.

Meanwhile, what are we doing? Apparently green energy is evil, and we're going to go all-in on domestic energy production from something that's expensive, very polluting, and finite.
Anecdotally, most federal vehicle seem to be from national brands. State and local government there doesn't seem to be much a consistent policy.
when you say "immigration has destroyed wages" you mean "immigration has lowered the floor of low wages" but you also imply "businesses CAN pay higher wages but WON'T".

i wouldn't blame the immigrants there. the whole thing managed correctly would be (or actually already is) a huge boon for the country. the suffering of the young and poor seems to be a choice made by the greedy.

Phew! Good thing we're also rolling back EPA and other regulatory controls that encourage/enforce sustainable practices. Otherwise it might have been (only an ill conceived) part of a coherent strategy.
Yeah, but the schadenfreude won't last, sadly. The coming recession is essentially inevitable at this point. Q2 earnings are going to be a disaster for everyone, expect economy-wide layoffs by autumn.
Yeah I went 100% to cash about 5 days ago. Jobs report came in ok, I think Trump is enjoying the side effect of forcing the fed to lower rates to stave off recession. On the other hand the market is super emotional right now and not making sense. I’m out until the dust settles. I have to admit, it’s nice to see Wall Street twist in the wind when they’ve been running the show for so long.

Remember the financial crisis when Bush (R) wrote them a $800B check and Obama (D) delivered it hat in hand? Suck it wall st.

It means applying specific rules about how text can be generated. For example, generating valid json reliably. Currently we use constrained decoding to accomplish this (e.g. the next token must be one of three valid options).

Now you can imagine giving an LLM arbitrary validity rules for generating text. I think that’s what they mean by “grammar”.
