> How often are you reaching 10^14 goroutines accessing a shared resource on a single process in production? We mostly use short-lived small AWS spot instances so I never see anything like that.

I apologize, that should've said 2^14, each sub-benchmark is a doubling of goroutines.

2^14 is 16000, which for contention of a shared resource is quite a reasonable order of magnitude.
I like this philosophy. At home, my dev machine is a Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS Lite installed to keep things minimal and clean. I added OpenBox, Helix, and Konsole, then I'm pretty much sorted (besides tooling for OCaml & Lua). It's a refreshing change to my work laptop.
Anyone really interested in resolution, film scanning and digital cinema should see this in-depth comparison shot by an expert ASC cinematographer specifically to be a definitive set of proofs for the industry. He compares (and pixel-peeps) identical shots from a range of top digital cinema cameras (Arri Alexa, RED, etc) with a high-quality 6K film scan. https://www.yedlin.net/ResDemo/ResDemoPt2.html. I found the results pretty surprising.

It really needs to be watched because opinions will vary based on aesthetic interpretation but in broad strokes, it's pretty clear that above well-shot, high-quality 2K (aka 1080P) other variables beyond resolution begin to matter more (color depth, film stock, shot style, etc.) This supports your contention to an extent but the test also shows that beyond well-shot, high-quality 2K, going to 4K doesn't matter very much either. To be clear, it can matter sometimes but other factors can easily be equally or more important than resolution once beyond 2K.

From my own experience and experimentation, I already felt many in the industry over-weight the importance of 4k resolution vs 2k in overall image quality (assuming both are equally high-quality and well-photographed), but this convinced me 4K over 2K makes even less difference than I thought. And this was under controlled test conditions with pixel-peeping. In real-world theatrical or couch viewing distances of cinematic content, it's hard to think 4K matters much at all over good 2K. I already knew I will NEVER upgrade to 8K for theatrical or couch-distance viewing of cinematic content (and I have $50K of gear in a dedicated custom-built, soundproof, lightproof home theater room with high-end laser projector and 150-inch screen), but this shows even the idea of 8k is ridiculous overkill and a complete waste of money, bandwidth and tech for cinematic context viewing. (note before the inevitable objections: 8k can be useful for 2 ft distance desktop viewing of synthetic content and can be necessary for 2-inch distance head-mounted VR).
Solid points on the unintended liabilities of hosting others' services. The cost breakdown is eye-opening - hardware depreciation alone makes most co-lo agreements unprofitable at small scale. Better to focus on your own projects or contribute to established organizations with proper infrastructure.

Blocking abusive actors can be very non-trivial. The proof-of-work system mitigates the amount of effort that needs to be spent identifying and blocking bad actors.
This is unreasonable spending. And I am saying this as someone who did his PhD at CERN, so I am shitting my old bed.

CERN is wonderful but the physics studied there are eons away from applications. This is not solid state physics where you can suddenly discover a great material. This is physics at such energies that we will not have anyone soon. Kinda like quasar astrophysics, about objects that are really far away.

The usual response is that this is core science. Yes it is, but not the core science we need today. We have a limited budget for science and a mammoth like CERN cannot swallow it all.

The other argument is that technology will get better. True. It can get better without the accelerator, though, if we really need it.

I loved my time there, truly fantastic but the costs are not sustainable with current budgets for science

FWIW I learned semi recently that cars get heavier and heavier because it improves their “ecology” rating… the ratings consider that moving 50% more weight with only 33% more gas is better than moving 0% extra weight with 0% more gas. And so a heavier car that uses a little more gas gets a better energy rating.

It’s moronic. But that’s how it works and why cars are getting bigger and bigger.
That seems pretty two faced given their own practices over the years.

Headline tells us that

Google Confirms Update Choice and 3 Billion Users Must Now Decide

The discrete, single choice seems to be whether to use the new encryption option in gmail or the new AI offerings in gmail. Because, apparently, they aren't compatible with each other.

EE2E is a per-email option that purportedly works seamlessly for other gmail users - but is less seamless otherwise.

Gemini is AI foistware that keeps trying to get under our gmail mouse-clicks.

I argue that we can also choose 'neither', for gmail.

Ublock Origin filters can remove AI elements from gmail. I'm staying open about how to inoculate from Gemini, otherwise.

Nice! I used an RPi4 for three years as my dev machine and daily driver. Even light video editing was possible, although slowly.
I've definitely seen this in real life, but recently I've started trying to actually watch when people use these interfaces, and they usually seem very slow - lots of hesitation, lots of mistakes, lots of repetition to do very simple actions. I watched someone use a terminal PoS recently and to clear a text input and insert a new value, she had to navigate to the start of the text box (no home key or anything like that), type new characters over the old ones, and then at the end delete any leftover characters from the previous input that they hadn't typed over. In a modern GUI, I would expect the user to have to (1) tab to the text box or press ctrl-A if they were in that text box, then (2) type the value they were interested in, possibly with typeahead support if it makes sense.

My working theory is that these terminal-based UIs aren't quicker because they're terminal-based, but rather users need to learn the keyboard shortcuts because they're so painful to use any other way. A well-designed GUI equivalent could be significantly quicker, and much easier to learn, but nobody wants to pay for that.
Wow that’s quite a reaction over some rando’s article. Why not just write your own with your point of view and post it here?
> how much potential return would you get from this group?

This reads a bit like "these poor sods can't afford to pay for my app, so why bother", at least to me.

However even if a certain device owner subgroup doesn't represent a potential revenue stream, you can as a developer still profit from also (or even primarily) targeting their devices.

Apps that will run on lower-powered devices will almost necessarily be leaner, and as a side benefit will have less complexity, less dependencies, and, ultimately, less technical debt for you as the developer to manage.

When discussing what'll happen, it's important to remember that the Republican party as a whole is behind these new "emergency" import taxes, not just Trump as a lone actor.

In particular, the original IEEPA law requires that any motions to terminate the "emergency" must get voted on in ~18 days. However every House Republican moved to declare that somehow that the rest of the days this year don't count as time passing, for some reason.

Ask HN: How to find the numerical IDs of posts on Facebook's website?
Posts on Facebook’s website can have two types of URLs:

* with tracking: facebook.com/(user)/posts/(long obfuscated hash)
* without tracking: facebook.com/(user)/posts/(short numerical ID)

Here’s an example of a Facebook URL without tracking:

https://www.facebook.com/savezdodir/posts/1073504858142844/

If you go to https://www.facebook.com/savezdodir/, open that post (it’s the latest post), and then look at the URL, you will not see the numerical ID but an obfuscated hash that contains your information. So if you share that post (e.g. on Twitter) and other people click that link, Facebook will know that you brought them to Facebook.

When I’m viewing a post on Facebook’s website, how do I find that numerical ID? In other words, the non-tracking URL of that post.

I’m rich and cars don’t cost me anything really. But I keep 1 sports car at a time which I buy new. Everything else I buy used because no one knows the quality of new cars and how long they will last. Daily driver has to be bullet proof.

> I would never let my kid go outside and play unsupervised in Seattle even tho I myself did this as a kid in my home town (the safety I was mentioning)

What makes you feel uncomfortable with this? Is Seattle particularly dangerous, moreso than a few decades ago?
Sure, go ahead and insult me instead of providing any actual facts.

Now, I've searched for the actual contributions, and indeed the actual income tax is not covered by the employer at all. The only parts of the full levied amount that are shared 50% are: pension, unemployment, health and long-term care insurance, (plus some other things that the employee doesn't have to pay).

So in the end it's about 1/3 (or under that based on tax class) of the total levied amount that gets covered by the employer. (PS. All of this for Germany, cribbed from one of those tax calculator websites)

It kills me that no one else has an "autopilot" on par with Tesla's. All the competitors have very limited scope and tight constraints on conditions. Tesla is the only one you can take into a new neighborhood and it will drive around without saying "sorry not available here".
Author here.

When I started this journey I had a hard time figuring out how open source il2cpp actually was, and it seemed to be heavily tied to unity. All the docs seemed heavily geared towards unity usage as well.

Likewise, some of my long term goals with the project involve writing code that can run on low end embedded platforms that may not have the C++ standard library available to it. So I had two main goals:

1. Create a system where C# could be run on very low end systems (esp32, arduino, etc...)
2. Allow the C# code to be easily referenced in a non-C# project for platforms that don't allow it.

So I ended up making my own system, as il2cpp and others didn't quite fit some of these bills. I targetted C to make sure that any C compiler could be used, so if an embedded platform has a custom gcc based compiler it could still be used (I think that's the case with the compiler that PVSnesLib uses for its `tcc` compiler).
Somehow that reminds me of how diffusion models are trained.
If you haven’t realized that the human brain is just an algorithm too then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The meaning of the word lie and hallucinate can be assigned to other algorithms outside of the algorithm that powers human brain. If something says something untrue or fabricates details then it is by definition lying or hallucinating.

It has nothing to do with anthropomorphization.

Additionally don’t think of what the human brain does as some higher level thing. We are algorithms as much as the LLM is an algorithm.

I built a niche Jira Service Desk app a few years ago. It wasn’t meant to be a business, but over time it turned into a small side hustle.

For years, I wanted to create a demo video but I kept stalling. Not because of luck of ideas, but because I didn’t have a clear plan. I’d get distracted browsing stock footage or experimenting with AI tools like Stable Diffusion, hoping something would click.

Things finally clicked when I came across a solid tutorial. Looking back, it was probably just a clever ad for Camtasia, but it did the trick. It helped me focus, plan things out properly (based on a template provided) and I ended up putting the whole thing together using (almost) nothing but free tools.

Curious what you think! Happy to share more about the tools I used if you're interested.

It's funny you say this! I was adding a tool just earlier (that I haven't yet pushed) that allows the model to... switch model.

Aider can also have multiple models active at any time (the architect, editor and weak model is the standard set) and use them for different aspects. I could definitely imagine switching one model whilst leaving another active.

So yes, this definitely seems feasible.

Aider had a fairly coherent answer to this question, I think: https://gist.github.com/tekacs/75a0e3604bc10ea88f9df9a909b5d...

This was navigator mode + Gemini 2.5 Pro's attempt at implementing it, based only on pasting in your comment:

https://asciinema.org/a/EKhno9vQlqk9VkYizIxsY8mIr

https://github.com/tekacs/aider/commit/6b8b76375a9b43f9db785...

I think it did a fairly good job! It took just a couple of minutes and it effectively just switches the main model based on recent input, but I don’t doubt that this could become really robust if I had poked or prompted it further with preferences, ideas, beliefs and pushback! I imagine that you could very quickly get it there if you wished.

It's definitely not showing off the most here, because it's almost all direct-coding, very similar to ordinary Aider. :)
