Thanks for the insight. Very cool to get your perspective on this
As with many "we should explain core math things better," there is a 3Blue1Brown explainer that attempts to give intuition for e:

https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/eulers-number

As suggested by the OP, it approaches the problem from the angle of showing that e^x is the only function that is its own derivative.

There is also a follow up explainer giving intuition for e^ix as being about modeling rotations.

The account “hnpolicestate” arguing against the idea of a police state by defending tattoo-based deportation stereotypes is peak satire. You couldn’t script it better.
The comment you linked is a response to my comment where I tried (and failed) to articulate the world in which R is situated. I finally "RTFA" and the benchmark I think perfectly deomonstrates why conversations about R tend not to be very productive. The benchmark is of a hypothetical "sum" function. In R, if you pass a vector of numbers to the sum function, it will call a C function sum. That's it. In R when you want to do lispy tricky metaprogramming stuff you do that in R, when you want stuff to go fast you write C/C++/Rust extensions. These extensions are easy to write in a really performant way because R objects are often thinly wrapped contiguous arrays. I think in other programming language communitues, the existence of library code written in another language is some kind of sign of failure. R programmers just do not see the world that way.

Cultivating unfair conditions and exerting pressure is just good negotiation.

The modern Egyptian government doesn't actually want mummies back, they just want to get paid again. They are going to use various means at their disposal to get paid once more. Which is "fair" in the All's fair in love and war sense.

> Israel basically said "we are going to war and we are not going to worry about who is and isn't a soldier anymore, they all dress the same"

When did Israel worry about this, when it comes to Palestinian civilians? This accusation from Israel supporters makes no sense because Israel has never cared about killing Palestinian civilians.
I get A5 and A4 perfectly good. A3 is acceptable for arts. So is A2, albeit getting big and that takes time to work on. But A1? That is half a square meter. Quite a lot to force kids to deal with. What next A0 for entire square meter? Or A-1? That would be 4 times the A1...
Vista was indeed fine. I used it for many years and had nary a problem with it. The problem with 11 isn't the core (everyone seems to agree that is fine), it's that Microsoft insists on putting ads and other user-hostile BS in.

It's not a need to mislead. You're grasping at a technicality. Citizenship is irrelevant if you're not given the chance to demonstrate it, which he wasn't, and again, he was actually deported because of the administrative error, not an on-purpose action, the correctness of which is irrelevant.

You're arguing whether a car wrapped around a tree has a bad alternator. Surely a fact useful to someone, somewhere, and worth knowing. But also certainly not the reason there's a problem.

nixpkgs packages pretty much everything I need. It’s a very large package set and very fresh. It’s mostly about culture and tooling. I tried to contribute to Debian once and gave up after months. I was contributing to nixpkgs days after I started using Nix.

Having every package as part of a distribution is immensely useful. You can declaratively define your whole system with all software. I can roll out a desktop, development VM or server within 5 minutes and it’s fully configured.

And conversely, another reason why Trump's tariffs on China are a bone-headed move. They are not going to sell TikTok while the tariffs last, and the popular demand for it makes banning it a non-starter.
Generally i hold the burden to prove wrong-doing is on the party allegging wrong-doing. Otherwise we get in a situation where it can be effectively impossible for the accused to prove their innocence, as it is much more difficult to prove a negative than a positive.

Making a $550 phone in china is probably more hand-it-over, while the $650 phone probably has a much higher non-recurring cost for R&D.

And both cases have investment in the OS/schematics which are open.
Where the data is used most will vary by app. Some applications are really heavy in the backend, dealing with integrations to other systems, file processing, etc. and the UI is for setting up all that processing, some workflows and business logic.

I found this talk really interesting. It's a cool framework for very interactive applications.
Didn't catch the pricing bug, will update right now.

A few others have also mentioned about the Grok & Groq confusion. Will think through some ideas here and update.

Appreciate the feedback!
I really don't think bad Product Manager's is a good explanation for the UI. Any big company like Netflix is going to heavily A/B test any and every change to the UI. They will only ever add things that boost metrics like engagement. You may not like the UI; it may annoy you, but you should have some appreciation for the fact that they are using sophisticated techniques to optimize for what they care about.
My knowledge of transistors is pretty limited[0]. Does the yield percentage refer to number of successful chips on a substrate or look more at the total number of successful transistors? (Or confusing hybrid-term like rain forecasts) I believe your comment implies the latter? So the number of successful processors is quite low? How many failed transistors can you have in a working microprocessor? (Probably not an easy to answer question?)

[0] Am I remembering correctly that this is your area?
There was work on making docker/podman use an object store which would deduplicate things and improve performance (far more likely a file the same between images is in memory already) but I haven't checked to see what the status was of late.

Flatpak already does this, if two Flatpak apps ship the same file, it's deduped by default

I do agree the layering part of OCI images is horrible and a waste of disk space, but I don't think this is the fault of immutable distros.
No love for Adobe. I have fond memories of their Updater downloading 1GB plus "updates", even though my trial EXPIRED.

I assume China's export markets vary widely in terms of product lines and target market segments, and that US-bound items would be most suitable for the EU, more so than (for example) for BRIC countries.
FWIW I support this. It's more relevant to HN to talk about Meta, the big tech company, doing something wrong than a nation, regardless of where you stand on this issue.
They're making money off it.

At least Meta gives their models to the public.
It's not about rights, it's about funding. If the universities don't take federal $$, they can't get told what to do by the federal government.

It's a true statement; I made a usable construct that causes template strings to be turned into objects, rather than to perform the string substitution. I did it without changing any syntax, or have to ship a new version of the language.

Python has to ship a new version for this; there is no way for existing installations to use the code.

I don't have to change anything in my editor setup.

So who is it that values syntactic convention?

t"abc" is a syntax errror in vast numbers of existing Python installations; how can we call it convention?

> How do you assign this result to a variable?

That's to be worked out. The "html:" fantasy construct could have a way to do that. When you think of assigning to a variable, the first thing that comes to mind is "a = b" syntax. But, look, the define construct in Python also assigns to a variable:

define fun(arg):
...

The imagined html construct could have arguments like to assign an object to a variable, or just spin out textual HTML into a specified stream. I don't want to get into it, but there are obvious ways it could be done such that it hits all sorts of requirements.

> How is it any better

It renders all of the following problems unrepresentable: mismatched angle brackets, mismatched or unclosed tags, bad attribute syntax, injection.
Losing weight through better sleep
Good idea. I'll give up my job as a programmer/doctor/lawyer/professor to an AI, and instead I'll dig ditches, I guess. AI can't do that (yet).

We've given the AI the ability to scrape websites, so I'm not sure that holds.
There are plenty of successful subscription based models that allow you to fallback on a perpetual license for the last annual version that you paid for, e.g. the Jetbrains model.

So after the honeymoon with Bluesky ends, what will be the next friendlier social media platform? And after that one? Will this just keep repeating?
> If you have valid rules but in practice only enforce them against a single group

I'd agree. Is there any evidence that that is happening here? The article reports on israeli take down requests but does not report on take down requests from other groups. Meta could very well be using the same rules against pro-israel groups, we just dont know because the leak didn't include that information.
It's intentional. Federalist 78 contains the rationale.

John Adams said the Constitution is intended for a moral (or virtuous) people. It's just a piece of paper. People have to support and defend it in order for the republic, an empire of laws, to persist.

We may be out of virtue, and maybe we don't deserve Constitutional order.

Enough people voted for an untrustworthy liar and a psychopath to be president. And the consequences will continue until he's removed from office.

There is no bottom for him. And probably no bottom for this Congress. In any case, this presidency is going to be very expensive for everyone.
> Cultivating unfair conditions and exerting pressure is just good negotiation.

I heavily disagree. Bullying may work in a short term but in the mid to long term it can have disastrous consequences - we're seeing this play out right now with the US government and all its major allies looking for a way out and divesting from the US.

Decades worth of "soft power" building effort and hundreds of thousands of lives lost in various wars (WW2 alone >400k!), for nothing, all gone in the space of a few months.
I don't think anyone doubts that you can do this. It's more that I refuse to pay for an OS which needs to be de-crapped in the first place. If Microsoft can't make something which prioritizes my needs above their corporate metrics, then they don't get my money.
It's not unreasonable to see the situation as "Then they came for the Jews, and the administration finally deported the people who were coming for the Jews".

The president's literal argument for doing it is that the activist groups are coming for all of American life.

I'm not a big fan of either side's rhetoric, but clearly the horseshoe has become a ring.
He could have his visa revoked though.

It's unfortunate that turning off flags for a story empowers the people who want to use this site for ideological battle. "dang made an exception once for <my pet topic>, so the guidelines forever more don't apply to it!" There were several variants of this sentiment expressed on the tomhow welcome thread.
Isn't it irrelevant that students do not have the answer to a basic quiz though? In a real life situation, they can just _ask an LLM_ if they need to know something.

I don't believe having this option will make people a lot less functional. Sure, some may slip through the cracks by faking it, but we'll soon develop different metrics to judge somebodies true capabilities. Actually, we'll probably create AI for that as well.

As a professional, you hire people who get things done. If that means hiring skilled LLM users, that do not fully understand what they produce, but what they make consistently works about as often as classic dev output does, and they do this in a fraction of the time... You would be crazy _not_ to hire them.

It's true that inexperienced developers will probably generate a massive tech debt during the time where AI is good enough to provide code, but not good enough to fish out hidden bugs. It will soon surpass humans at that skill though, and can then quickly clean up all the spaghetti.

Over the last two years my knowledge on how to perform and automate repetitive and predictable tasks has gradually worn away, replaced by a higher level understanding of software architecture. I use it to guide language models to a desired outcome. For those that want to learn, LLM's excel at explaining code. For this, and plenty of other subjects, it's the greatest learning tool we have ever had! All it takes is a curious mind.

We are in a transitionary time and we simply need to figure out how to deal with this new technology, warts and all. It's not like there is an alternative scenario; it's not going to go away...

>this assumes the main motivation is money

People evaluate pay to quality of life at work ratio, not just pay (although it is most commonly referred to as pay to avoid writing or saying all of that out).

You cannot expect a person to come out of school at 30 to 35 years old with $300k+ of debt after working 80 hour weeks during their 20s and slaving away in residency and not expect a decent pay to quality of life at work ratio.

If you do not increase quality of life to make up for lower pay, you will end up with less driven or less capable people. Note that quality of life also includes security of income, which can reduce that type of stress.
There's a chance it's a stupid publicity stunt. It would not be the first time a republican would do something like that, but almost every time it happens on Twitter. Compared to how bad the idea itself is, maybe we can save some energy by ignoring the A1 part.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't half the point of htmx to allow for adaptive web design (ie, if js fails to load or is disabled it can still function via the form submission)?

It seems like Datastar is doing away with that entirely and binding the UI more tightly to JavaScript to function correctly.
I think they already remind you after a year of inactivity, and automatically cancel your plan after 2 years of inactivity.

But they're a business, so obviously they want you to use it and pay for it.
You don’t think a meerkat when introduced something novel into their environment relevant to them, would ‘t come up with a concept for representing that idea to their own species? I think they would, absolutely. What we do as humans isn’t unique despite how we insist on thinking that about ourselves. It is why we can study neuroscience using fruit flies.

Hmmmm, none of those people are famously biased towards Israel....

Also, you are misusing Credentials Fallacy to dismiss the difference between factual reporting and opinion. If I dismissed a peer-reviewed study you posted by saying that YOU aren't a scientist/expert, THAT would be Credential Fallacy. It doesn't just mean that you have to accept all sources and claims as equal. "You just dismissed my Infowars link without even providing a detailed refutation, and just trusted the CDC instead! Fallacy!"

> If they bumped up the price to $100 bucks a month and obliterated the "I'm just a quirky creative home user who likes to dabble" pandering, GOOD. I'd keep my subscription. Instead, I'm actively building up my experience in alternative tools so I can get away from Adobe.

You're telling them they'll lose you, but if they did what you recommend, they'd have lost both you and the "quirky creative home user who likes to dabble."

The amateur market creates the professional market 10 years from now. They should make sure quirky home users are using their product, even if they have to pay them to use it. If the quirky instead choose any other tool that is capable enough for professional work, they'll grow into the tool and never leave it. The more that do that, the more the tool will improve to conform to their expectations.

If the quirky start buying Affinity instead of learning Photoshop, Photoshop will be gone. In a hypothetical universe where the choices that were available when you first became professional were either an (even more, by your suggestion) expensive Adobe subscription and buying Affinity, you may never have used Photoshop at all.

Feel free to insert an analogy that pleases you. WordPress.com is a hosting company that has its own staff and contributes approx 40 hours per month to the WordPress open source project. WordPress core development is made up of contributors. The AI builder is not available for WordPress, it’s exclusively for the hosting company WordPress.com. WordPress.com on their basic plan restrict any plugin usage. There are no usage restrictions on the open source software. This is just a taste of the distinctions. The title of this post has now been updated, but regardless, WordPress.com is not WordPress.
Yes, that is where my quote came from. From your own quote:

> The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.

Which is such a ridiculously bullshit line of thought. This wasn't some person who willingly went to some random country, this is someone the executive illegally put there against the person's will in coordination with said foreign government. I can guarantee you that any order with teeth will be struck down by SCOTUS on this line of thought.
