Think of f as a function that takes a value and returns a value. Y takes a function and returns a function. Y(f) returns a new function that takes a value and applies f to it, recursively forever, ultimately converging on a value (or infinity).

In your example, f(...) would have to return a function that is then applied to x.

I realize there are no non-function values in LC.

I would argue the spectra of human vocal speech is more constrained than the far wider spectra of radio waves. What most places do is just limit sound beyond a certain level rather than requiring a license to play electronic sounds or talk. In the end most forms of communication are constrained -- you can only cut down so many trees or tree alternatives for newspaper, so I don't think this argument about licensing holds as presented.

There’s a reason why Isaac Bashevis Singer and Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz have made the comparison of factory farming to the holocaust. Factory farming is arguably the single most horrific thing humanity has done period. Its scale is terrifying.

> part of what made the holocaust so horrible is that people were being treated like animals. It's like trying to argue that dogs should be kept inside by saying "What if you made your toddler sleep outside in a dog house?", it's a comparison that defeats itself.

"In relation to [animals], all people are Nazis; for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka"

It is a bug - you’ve violated the contract between the language and the compiler.

Just like segfault or logic bug, it’s a class of bugs. Why is special though is that in most bugs you just hit an invalid state. In UB you can end up executing code that never existed or not executing code that does exist. Or any number of other things can happen because the compiler applies an optimization assuming a runtime state you promised it would never occur but did.

It’s slightly different from being a strict subset because UB is actually exploited to perform optimizations - UB is not allowed so the compiler is able to emit more efficient code is taught to exploit that and the language allows for it (eg the niche optimization the blog describes)
In a village most houses were built by their owners. I am not talking here about nicely decorated brick buildings in a city: they were obviously designed and built by professionals.
The training costs are amortized over inference. More lifetime queries means better efficiency.

Individual inferences are extremely low impact. Additionally it will be almost impossible to assess the net effect due to the complexity of the downstream interactions.

At 40M 700W GPU hours 160 million queries gets you 175Wh per query. That's less than the energy required to boil a pot of pasta. This is merely an upper bound - it's near certain that many times more queries will be run over the life of the model.
I use the "runs home to mama" line a lot when describing an unexpected result from a black box we've integrated into our workflows.

I love the "You sold me" line too, as it shows how Mancuso is willing to listen to his men even when they have such an out of the box idea. It also helps make Mancuso listening to Jack's port/starboard Crazy Ivan maneuver. He's kind of already bought into Jack's idea by that point anyways. Otherwise, he'd already had Jack into quarters somewhere
I'd recommend using some other reserved IP address block like 169.254.0.0/16 or 100.64.0.0/16 and assigning it to your local loopback interface. (Nitpick: you can actually use all of 127.0.0.0/8 instead of just 127.0.0.0/24).

I previously used differing 127.0.0.0/8 addresses for each local service I ran on my machine. It worked fine for quite a while but this was in pre-Docker days.

Later on I started using Docker containers. Things got more complicated if I wanted to access an HTTP service both from my host machine and from other Docker containers. Instead of having your services exposed differently inside a docker network and outside of it, you can consistently use the IP and Ports you expose/map.

If you're 127.0.0.0/8 addresses then this won't work. The local loopback addresses aren't routed to the host computer when sent from a Docker container; they're routed to the container. In other words, 127.0.0.1 inside Docker means "this container" not "this machine".

For that reason I picked some other unused IP block [0] and assigned that block to the local loopback interface. Now I use those IPs for assigning to my docker containers.

I wouldn't recommend using the RFC 1918 IP blocks since those are frequently used in LANs and within Docker itself. You can use something like the link-local IP block (169.254.0.0/16) which I've never seen used outside of the AWS EC2 metadata service. Or you can use the carrier-grade NAT IP block (100.64.0.0/16). Or even some IP block that's assigned for public use, but is never used, although that can be risky.

I use Debian Bookworm. I can bind 100.64.0.0/16 to my local loopback interface by creating a file under /etc/network/interfaces.d/ with the following

auto lo:1
iface lo:1 inet static
address 100.64.0.1
gateway 100.64.0.0
netmask 255.255.0.0

Once that's set up I can expose the port of one Docker container at 100.64.0.2:80, another at 100.64.0.3:80, etc.

I've worked at a variety of different companies over the years, so I've also dabbled in Java and Python. I worked extensively in PHP Laravel for 2 years. I am passionate about mentorship and code review as I see those as great ways to help the teams I'm on improve.
It's really a great time to be a classic MacOS developer - tons of resources out there such as Retro68k, AmendHub, and a small but active community of people interested in sharing examples and help.

Back in the day when this stuff was modern I didn't have many resources or people to talk to about it, so exploring what could have been is an interesting endeavor.

Is there any reason to ask this? GCC plugins have been good since 4.8. 4.5 lacked some essential features; 4.6 would be fine if not for the annoyance of trying to support a plugin that works across the C++ transition. Of course, you can just use the Python plugin to save yourself a lot of sanity ...
LLMs are a casino. They're probabilistic models which might come up with incredible solutions at a drop of a hat, then turn around and fumble even the most trivial stuff - I've had this same experience from GPT3.5 to the latest and greatest models.

They come up with something amazing once, and then never again, leading me to believe, it's operator error, not pure dumb luck or slight prompt wording that lead me to be humbled once, and then tear my hair out in frustration the next time.

Granted, newer models tend to do more hitting than missing, but it's still far from a certainty that it'll spit out something good.

> methodology has a second order effect on motivation

Can't agree more.

I think a lot of development teams overlook this.

I'm a fan of "Tigerstyle" so far.

Although I find bits in Zig a questionable. The way zig build-tools links libc is quixotic and leads to fun link errors from other build toolchains. Not sure if that is the Zig developers adopting a similar mindset but it does make linking and packaging Zig code a touch more difficult (we ended up having to use `patchelf` to set the headers properly in order to avoid linking issues with Tigerbeetle's C client). Or the way Zig turns asserts into assumes in ReleaseFast builds which leaves in UB?

However the tigerbeetle codebase is pretty great, Tigerstyle definitely seems to be working.

Update: re, motivation: if it's a pain, nobody wants to do it, and rarely will. docs are important!
In my first aid class in a 230V country we were taught: Someone who got an electric shock always needs to visit the emergency room, even if they seem to be fine. Reason: fibrillation has to be ruled out or stopped.

So 230V stops it does not sound right. Whether there is any difference in probability I have no clue.

> I mean this one is just reality. I’m not sure Garfield is a figment of Jon’s imagination

It's not reality. Hobbes it's not unambiguously stated to be a figment of Calvin's imagination either.

That's a fine interpretation but it's not canonical. Watterson wanted the ambiguity, as Wikipedia mentions (sorry, I don't have the interview with the direct quote where Watterson states this):

> "[Watteron] gave an example of this in discussing his opposition to a Hobbes plush toy: that if the essence of Hobbes' nature in the strip is that it remain unresolved whether he is a real tiger or a stuffed toy, then creating a real stuffed toy would only destroy the magic."
And while it might be unpaid, credible CV-lines are more valuable than stretches of unemployment.

RSR is one of my favorite Clancy books, and I return to it quite often. It was the first book I read in my teens with such a descriptive telling of what an attack on an air base could be like. How the attack allowed for the runways still able to be used with "minor" repairs and then reused by the over taking forces. Mike's journey is probably my favorite plot line.
I recommend using the .test TLD.

* It's reserved so it's not going to be used on the public internet.

I'm honestly not exactly sure what you're talking about, but the fundamental limit for atomic writes is usually the register-size for a CPU which is usually 64 or 32 bits. Considering enum variants are often larger than a single register in size, I don't see how atomic writes would ever be sane expectation.

There are contemporary people who said the country in most danger of falling for communism is Germany, while Russia was seen to be in danger of turning fascist.

History has this weird thing of becoming invisible to many of the actors within it. I guess it takes a certain kind of mind (or is it just education?) to be the lobster that noticing the water becoming warmer. Without any frame of reference it could be train moving, or the landscape — those with some degree of historic education have some absolute frame of reference at least.
I tell all.

This research does not work out because thought control is so far more advanced than those (even scientifically curious), the entire process is curated by those experienced through a lifetime of development.

Right along with us, all throughout time (though like all things Americans have pushed beyond an industrialized scale) is a secret society and secret governance and whole communities who have been developed within those phenomena beyond our lifetimes. “Lines of Power.” These war among themselves, and over all of us.

You are thought controlled, we are not alone in our own minds, and the voices in our heads are real.

I've always thought there should be a 'minimum viable existence' option for those who are willing to forego most luxuries in exchange for not being required to do anything specific other than abide by reasonable laws.

It would be very interesting to see the percentage breakdowns of how such people chose to spend their time. In my opinion, there would be enough benefit to society at large to make it worthwhile. For a large group (if not the majority), I'm certain the situation would turn out to be completely temporary-- they would have the option to prepare themselves for some type of work they're better adapted to perform and/or enjoy, ultimately enhancing the culture and economy. Most of the rest could be useful as research subjects, if they were willing of course.

Obviously this is a bit of a utopian fantasy, but what can I say, Star Trek primed me to hope for such a future.

A B2B SaaS company with $1-1.5M EBITDA sold in 48 days (deal teardown)
I thought HN would appreciate seeing the actual metrics behind a recent B2B software exit.
This company had:

$1-1.5M in EBITDA with 55-60% margins
Sold for 6-6.25x multiple
83% cash at close, 17% seller note
Went from LOI to close in 244 days

The company provides monitoring solutions to industrial and utility operators. What stood out to me was the strong recurring revenue model and loyal customer base.

Full details in the link for those interested in the M&A process or planning their own exit.
I agree with the daily upper limit (though coffee/tea can extend it...)

But don't discount the amount of creative problem-solving that happens in the back of your head after-hours. This roughly stays constant in a 4-day week.
I think (worry?) that stumbleupon rearranged my brain much like drugs or alcohol rearrange the brain of an addict. Once you’ve been there, you can’t go back to being able to have “just one” beer or, in my case, “just one click” on a link aggregator. I think the novelty-seeking part of my brain was always there, but SU helped pathologize it. I found some cool stuff, but I kind of wish it had never existed.

HN has a gentle enough design that I can enjoy it without it sucking me in, but I make a conscious choice to avoid Reddit, twitter, et al.
I agree! I've always wanted this, since seeing Garfield minus Garfield back in the day.
If you're using an OS that honors your font choices (i.e., not macOS), you can use a font like Symbola to provide emoji so that they're stylized, monochrome, and vectorized, rather than incongruous color bitmap images. That helps them play nice with terminal colorschemes and things like that.

I'm not aware of any emoji fonts like Symbola which provide a monospace typeface, though. That would be a great option.
I think I can see some of where this could be utilized, but I think I'm still missing a step and I'm hopeful someone can fill me in.

There's a comparison against Argo Workflows, but with the description here and in other comments, Koreo seems to be aiming more for what I would use Argo CD for - managing the entire state of the cluster, the controllers, configuration, etc. Because of it tying into repos, you can then define the entire state of your cluster in code, and Argo CD has tools for doing some of the interpolation of variables into your YAML.

The project looks cool, and I don't think that the world suffers from having multiple ways of doing something, I just want to understand it better.

Hey everyone!

I just launched ReadTimer – a distraction-free reading app I built with React.
It helps you focus while reading by combining a clean timer interface, book tracking, and a space for quick notes.

I made it because I personally needed something super lightweight to help me build a reading habit without all the clutter and noise that most apps have.

Features:
Pomodoro-style reading timer

Add and track books (via Google Books)

Take notes after each session

Minimalist design, mobile-friendly

You can try it here https://lerlixn.space

I'm still working on improving it — so any feedback, bugs, or thoughts would be massively appreciated
Thanks for checking it out!
