Webification and phones.

You make more money selling software for phones and it is cheaper to use one stack to build all so you build things for the web first.
That's a problem for almost every language, not just Rust. C++ also compiles to intermediate representations, and then to machine code. Errors happen on that path. Rust just get rid of a lot of errors that could have been in the original specification (the source code).
It is not so bad in Russia. Not so many sites are blocked. You can easily read foreign news if you want to. Hacker news is not blocked for example :).

Your monitors, those of a well-off power user, may have become larger. Most regular users I've seen are on 15" laptops with screens at 1366×768, or (if they're lucky) 1920×1080 with scaling at 1.25× or so. 17" desktop monitors used to be commonplace about 20 years ago.

The slightly larger screen real estate (if any) is more than wasted by very inefficient "modern UIs" where you won't find paddings smaller than 16px, with three buttons where there used to be enough space for 9.
I remember when LLM first appeared - on a local social website of my country (think Digg), a lot of people were exctatic because they got ChatGPT to say that black people are dumb, claiming it as a victory over woke :P
There is a difference between making 2.5 billion because you owned stocks and the market went up and making 2.5 billion because you bought just before the market went up and then you sold.
Wooosh.
Apple will likely exist in 200 years. It has $86B in cash on hand and could easily have had $1T if shareholders didn't kick up a fuss a few years ago.

I wouldn't bet on the Swiss watch market being necessarily around given that many young people aren't being taught how to tell the time and have little appreciation for watches.
I really don't think we do.

France and Britain alone used to be able to defend trade routes. I don't think it's a huge expense. It really is good for essentially everyone aside from the US itself, once the disruption is over. Obviously we'll have some kind of crash though, but I think that was inevitable with or without this.

"the military" isn't a single entity. If things really got bad I suspect there would breaks all over the place as various groups (across all ranks) decide to either follow or refuse orders coming down. It would be chaos, the fact that things could get so bad that we're even talking about it is already a very bad sign.
Thank you for sharing. I was hoping you'd eventually publish an article on Yakread's ranking model, I remember you mentioning it tangentially in one of your talks.

Love how concise the code is.
I don't think it's about trusting OpenAI necessarily, and definitely not a character like Sam Altman. It's more about Google having a proven record of being data obsessed. 99% of the money they make is from our data. Many other tech giants (Apple, Microsoft, etc) are also hard to trust, but at least they don't have their whole business model built on user data like Google and Meta. I can't blame anyone looking at OpenAI as a lesser evil.
Yes but i see it as multiple steps. Like perhaps the llm solution has some probabilistic issues that only get you 80% of the way there. But that probably already has given you some ideas how to better solve the problem. And this case the problem is somewhat intractable because of the size and complexity of the way the data is stored. So like in my example the first step is LLMs but the second step would be to use what they do as structure for building a deterministic pipeline. This is because the problem isn’t that there are ten thousand different meta data, but that the structure of those metadata are diffuse. The llm solution will first help identify the main points of what needs to be conformed to the monolithic schema. Then I will build more production ready and deterministic pipelines. At least that is the plan. I’ll write a substack about it eventually if this plan works haha.
The Netflix appliance is pretty good in my experience. No reason Google couldn’t pull something similar off themselves, unless they’re being very Google about it.
One idea i found interesting on top: why not use a service-worker to mock the backend completely (https://mswjs.io/) and mock the server answers with the service-worker.
Then you still have a local-only PWA-style frontend and can choose yourself, how to sync it back to a server if you really like or need to.

What datastar is great for is: throw all that overcomplicated frontend-junk away and concentrate on the real innovation or simply get things done. Not to forget: ignore the dependecy-hell of every nodejs-based project you can encounter. After the lowcode-initiative, now it's time for the "nodeps"-initiative. Deprecate npmjs.com.
> Can can git rich by growing slowly in many cases - but it will be a long hard road.

Most people don't have the patience for it and it's not as flashy. Morgan Housel (author of The Psychology of Money) on what a lot of people don't get about Warren Buffett:

> He's 90 years old. But if you look at the course of his life 99% of his net worth came after his 50th birthday and something like 97% came after his 65th birthday. That's just how compounding Works compounding is not something where the big Returns come in a year or in a decade. It's something that takes place over the course of a lifetime and it's important for someone like Warren Buffett to say look, he's 90 years old. He's been investing full-time since he's been 10 years old. So he's been investing for 80 years now. It's really important. Is that the Math on this is very simple. You can hypothetically say, okay if Warren Buffett did not start investing when he was 10. Let's say hypothetically he started investing when he was 25 like a normal person and let's say hypothetically he did not keep investing through age 90 like he has let's say hypothetically he retired at age 65 like a normal person and he would say he was just as successful and investor during that period that he was investing and he earned the same average annual Returns. What would his net worth be today? If you started investing at 25 and retired at 65 the answer is about Million dollars not 90 billion 12 million. So we know that 99.9% of his net worth can be tied to just the amount of time. He has been investing for that's how compounding works it is. So incredibly powerful, but it is rarely intuitive. Even if you understand the math behind compounding it's almost never to it intuitive how powerful it can be.

It did not established that. If it was so unique, the market would have reacted to this trade (before the news).
Who are they going to sue in that scenario? They can't go after every user who pays with a throwaway card.
You can't be serious... You think models built by companies from an autocracy are somehow better? I suppose their biases and censorship are easier to spot, but I wouldn't trade one form of influence over another.

Besides, Meta is currently the leader in open-source/weight models. There's no reason that US companies can't continue to innovate in this space.
Funny, but wrong, as "faith healing" is likely exploiting a facet of the placebo effect, which stubornly continues to be significant.
And it is widely recognised that in cases where there is no(medical) hope at all, the action of seeking and finding anything preporting to be helpfull, often gives a sense of hope and added strength where science/medicine has nothing to offer, and for religious people it is actualy harmfull to have there faith disputed..,.so
But cholera, lord fuck a duck, just such a bad bad look.
Personaly ,I try and tread a line between freedom of religion, and freedom from religion.
Raised in a medical family, and there are storys of patients, who would never come in to seek medical attention while they were sick....only after they recovered....as there proud country manners would not let them come in while they were sick, and unpresentable......to the doctors they held in such high regard, so they would get an appointment, purely one must presume, for the social and emotional suport, of bieng confirmed, well.
Many many such storys, the take away bieng, to never undersetimate what humans can do with nothing more than there will, and a little faith, and some charm, or placebo.
Do you really think they have a legal department or any department whatsoever?

That is actually the point. If they do not have one and are using HN as legal advice then essentially I said it was a bad idea by pointing them to their legal department.
Many advantages, for example web apps get suspended if you’re not browsing the tab. But I do agree it’s much more attractive to write web apps mainly for portability.
The other day I wanted to use a function in an unfamiliar library. Gemini kept putting an argument into the call that wasn't supposed to be there even after I explicitly told it not to. This was after I trusted Gemini, got an error message and looked at the docs.
The argument it was adding was required for other functions in other libraries the same subject area so I suppose that's why it did it.
> I assume people that are not paid have a bit of shame and they are also lazy and not work hard to justify why killing children is OK

In other words, you assume that people that disagree with you must be bots or paid trolls? That certainly explains why you think Reddit is full of them :)

I will often write stuff that you would probably consider pro-Israeli. I'm not a troll and don't get paid for it. Do you simply dismiss anything I say because you assume I'm either a bot or a "Israeli paid cyber warrior"? That makes you wrong, and makes you unable to ever learn new things or new perspectives.

(I'm not disputing, btw, that there are a lot of trolls. From my perspective, 90% of people posting anything about the conflict, including some major accounts, are absolutely trolls - they have no skin in the game and little real knowledge of the situation, and simply want to post provocative things, whether pro or anti, to get engagement.)
Makes complete sense, as NVidia has a lot more experience building these types of appliances.
Pulseaudio was not a blessing to Linux.

Overcomplicated and hard to configure, the only way it even got measurably usable is because of distro's putting in the sweat here.

However, pipewire is really great. Audio on Linux has been a lot better since pipewire became increasingly the default.
Not used in the same way, see VBS.
true. SAP is more of an entrenched SaaS. Once you have it, the switching costs are too high later on. What an amazing kind of biz. The stickiness is crazy.
In AI Studio, it seemed to let me upload pretty much any file and tokenize it without renaming, FWIW

"including the title" was intended to attach to the line count. Some may include the page title (h1 heading in HTML) in the lines at the start of the page. Some may not, because the title isn't necessarily part of the article itself. I was trying to disambiguate.

I was not trying to say that the "PS3 failed" was in the title.

You're right that it's in the URL but I didn't see that until you pointed it out.
Even though the idea is much older, shared libraries were only introduced on Unix systems on SunOS 4.x and System V release 3 (?). Sun paper from 1988: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs414/2001FA/sharedlib.pd...
You think shadowy governments are coercing Microsoft into adding an opt-in AI feature?

They could be, yes. Once the code base is there then it is just a feature toggle at that point. One dial home to the mothership means one could be toggled on, toggled off as desired. As for shadowy I think we've seen they need not hide in the shadows nor do they even try.

Several computers that ship from Amazon have malware pre-installed. I found a case where it was installed but not running. To nobody's surprise I format any disk I receive before I actually put it to real use but many people do not. Malware being preinstalled and Defender being pre-configured to not alert means the malware can simply be activated by a dropper for any C&C agents doubling as an application updater. "We pinky promise it's just to update the RGB LED's".

This code should be installed like any other optional code. Ask the person if they want it installed and if they click yes then install it in the background and let them know when it is ready to use.
You can't burn money in AI for 15 years on the off chance that it’ll pay off.
deferent models handle JSON slightly differently, Gemini handles it better other models as does OpenAI GPT4/o1/o3 but they cost a lot more so I don't use them for AI gameplay analysis

Why shouldn't _any_ radical propaganda (unfortunately this is the case with most of pro-palestine content, even if for understandable or good reasons) be removed?
Feel free to get started on Sam Altman.
Would you agree, "deporting because otherness" would make a fabulous liberal bs headline? The only problem, it doesnt mention tatoos.

I sincerely hope you'll manage to leave the right reality distortion field some day, mr hnpolicestate.
Indeed, that's one of the most popular cases and I even used it myself couple of times.

Though when frontend devs cannot explain which CORS headers and for which origins they do need (again, I'm sysasmin, not even daily reader of Mozilla Developer Network), chances for server/infra level like Varnish to be mentioned is close to 0. With higher chances k8s cluster introduction to be mentioned.
You're right about everything except you underestimate the current generation of LLMs. With the right prompting and guidance, they _already_ can give pushback and ask questions until satisfied.
That scrutiny is a waste of federal resources since you're basically extending the notion of advocating violence to supporting any side in any war - perhaps meta should just go ahead and remove all posts on both sides.
86% of lead being mined is for batteries. I just replaced my UPS battery, and their shop was stacked high with UPS devices and battery packs and it was a real reminder to the massive amount of batteries out there.

So data centres and edge compute UPS devices. Something has to keep the lights on when the power goes out while the generator kicks in. While the lead is recyclable, the power demand keeps going up. So my guess is AI…
Over the last nine months, I have periodically tested Gemini’s access to and effective use of data from Gmail/Docs/Calendar/Keep-notes, etc.

The improvement has been steady and impressive. The entire integration is becoming a product that I want to use.
Google is what everyone thinks OpenAI is.

Google has their own cloud with their data centers with their own custom designed hardware using their own machine learning software stack running their in-house designed neural networks.

The only thing Google is missing is designing a computer memory that is specifically tailored for machine learning. Something like processing in memory.
If you are not constantly posting fake and not recieve money from foreign entities you are not being arested at all in Russia. You may get a fine, and that's not always the case.

We have Common Crawl, which is also scraped web data for training LLMs, provided for free by a non-profit.
Where’s the proof? Facebook agreeing to take down some contents that violates its policies is hardly proof of anything.
Does 5. mean that I can't join a virtual meeting with a bluetooth headset and use the headset mic? That would actually be a major barrier to switching to linux, this is a required feature for any laptop I use. So much so I am shocked that it could be broken in ubuntu.
That news just confirms EU is not a country-like and any federation is not ready.

Funny that outsiders like US and Russia and probably others behave as it is one country :) It is kind of some "body" but not a well functioning one: fusion ? Unser! Spy satelites ? Notre!
There's an extended pro shovel monologue in the gripping Boy's Own Adventure series:

Ripping Yarns Episode 2: The Testing of Eric Olthwaite (1977)

Eric Olthwaite is interested in precipitation patterns in West Yorkshire, shovels and black pudding. He is so boring that his family all leave home to escape him.

One day he is accidentally caught up in a bank robbery and discovers that the robber shares his interests in shovels, black pudding and rainfall so they team up to make daring raids to steal rainfall records.

Eric becomes famous and is considered interesting again, so much so that he is made the mayor of Denley Moor.

I think this is just taking the common-on-HN refrain of "boostrap good, VC bad" and trying to apply it to everything. I don't particularly agree with the refrain in the first place, and definitely don't think it applies so broadly.

There are many reasons for products getting worse; sometimes it's because the company making it is trying to appeal to a broader base, so the original enthusiasts are no longer the target. Sometimes it's because different people are involved and they can't produce to the same level. Sometimes things don't really deteriorate, but new innovations make other things more appealing.
Afair Varnish can store cache in files too? I may be messing things here, as I use Nginx like 500 times more often.

If yes, you can store that data with fixed size tmpfs - while on servers with modern NVMe handling 5 Gbyte/sec I would not bother.
This project doesn’t have that as a goal. In fact, it doesn’t even have “Rust to C compiler” as a goal. https://github.com/FractalFir/rustc_codegen_clr:

“ The project aims to provide a way to easily use Rust libraries in .NET. It comes with a Rust/.NET interop layer, which allows you to easily interact with .NET code from Rust

[…]

While .NET is the main focus of my work, this project can also be used to compile Rust to C, by setting the C_MODE enviroment flag to 1.

This may seem like a strange and unrelated feature, but the project was written in such a way that this is not only possible, but relatively easy.”

It also doesn’t mention for which version of C it produces code. That may or may not hinder attempts to use this to run rust on obscure platforms.
but because users are used to doing that for free, they can't charge money for that, but if they don't charge money for that, and no one's seeing ads, then where does they money come from?
I started my Windows Server career around 2003R2, so can't comment on the peakness of 2K.

2008R2 snowballed it's own "revolution" when it introduced PowerShell 2.0, which was pivotal for many future things to come.

Out of the more modern ones, 2012R2 was "peak".

I would guess we will still see 2012R2 installations well into the future. Still running bits and pieces of critical infra, even if it has been EOLed long ago, but that's the way of the Server I guess. Can't wait for the 5000+ uptime day screenshots of ancient 2012R2's.

My guess is the next "long LTS" will be Win2025. Just because it's introducing the NTLMv2 deprecation path and working solutions to replace it.
True, at least conceptually (does brain actually do recursion?) - I was really thinking of linguist's hierarchical sentence parse trees, which are a nice visual representation of how different parts of sentence are syntactically unrelated and can therefore be processed in parallel, with levels of the "hierarchy" then corresponding to layers of the LLM.
You are inferring too much from that comment. I think those people just had large stock holdings in general and were he market went up a lot that day.
> I've had my Casio g-shock for 20 years, including bringing it to two war zones.

Watch aficionados appreciate G-Shocks just as much as an A. Lange & Söhne. If you visit their Youtube channels and web sites you'll often see things like Seiko SKXes were recommended for years (pre-discontinuation) as good value and great for day-to-day wear (beach going, gardening, etc).
You sound like Harold Wilson.

I don't mean to suggest that the current American devaluation is as large as the UK's 1967 devaluation, at least so far. Just that your reasoning here is wrong: when your currency falls, that has a domestic inflationary effect precisely because your currency is worth less than before.
The post is an update on the status of an ongoing project.

This is very simply a bunch of minor stuff Googlites feel like they're above implementing. They would rather let you implement that and you both get a cut.
For me the scummy part is that you can't cancel the recurring subscription in advance. If my renewal date is 2 months from now and I try to cancel they will charge me a fee immediately and end the subscription. The only way to cancel without charge is to come back right as the rebill is about to occur. There is no excuse for that other than they want to fuck over as many people as possible.
Or a hobby
I went through a phase of using the A.I. tools to touch up photos and thought they were helpful. If I needed to add another row of bricks to a wall or remove something they get it done. I haven’t used it in a few months because I’m taking different photos than I was back then.
This is completely wrong. Chrome won initially because it was a much better browser in terms of user experience. I remember the original discussions around it, they innovated a bunch of features like processes-per-tab so if one tab crashed you wouldn't have to restart the whole browser.

It also had a much cleaner UI - that's why it was called "Chrome" in the first place, because it only had the chrome. You can see that these were true innovations because everyone else copied them.
That's still 100 irrelevant units later than the server sent the update. This is like saying the first byte of the packet takes 100ms to arrive but the subsequent bytes in the packet are instant!

It's not quite right. You'll never have updates in microseconds even if your ping is, say, 7ms.

At best you can be ~2-4x as fast as long polling on HTTP/1 -- an order of magnitude is a ridiculous statement.
Your projects require holistic and craft solutions. Simple, working ways are the wrong path!
It goes to internal corporate culture, and what happens to you when you point out an uncomfortable truth. Do we shoot the messenger, or heed her warnings and pivot the hopefully not Titanic? RIM/Blackberry didn't manage to avoid it either.

People like to believe CEOs aren't worth their pay package, and sometimes they're not. But a look at a couple of their failures and a different CEO of Kodak wouldn't have had what happened happen, makes me think that sometimes, some of them do deserve that.
