Yesterday, my high school son was sitting on the couch. Asked him what he was doing… “social studies on the partitioning of Palestine in 1948”. More spicy a topic that I was expecting. Intrigued, I asked ChatGPT a few questions about the religious populations of modern Israel throughout the centuries. Got some interesting results and asked it for some clarification on the political sensitivity of this topic. It agreed it would be challenged by many. Anyway, decided to share it with my son, and texted it to him on his iPhone from my iPhone. Normally that would be sent via iMessage, fully end to end encrypted, and yet this time, when I was sending potentially politically charged views on israel, it was sent as SMS!! Now, I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but… that got me questioning why, on any of the thousands of messages I’ve sent my son, this specific one wasn’t sent encrypted. Hmm

> The general continuity in Waugh’s life and writing is contempt for modernity: a turn to religion makes perfect sense in that light.

I'm christian and this describes the most troublesome converts. Both in the trouble they cause the rest of us and the trouble they experience themselves.

The thing they miss, and also maybe you, and also probably Waugh, is that religions are in one sense much older but in another much more serious and experiential sense they are modern.

They are practiced by modern people, with modern patterns of thought, navigating modern problems in modern ways. The wisdom may be ancient but your life isn't, your belief isn't. You can't go home again, you can't swim in the same river twice, you can't prevent the fall, you can't put the family back together, you can't practice the religion of st anthony or even of your great grandfather. A modern person can only practice a modern christianity and this includes catholicism.

Now, I still think you are right about waugh there. He did have contempt for modernity and did probably turn to catholicism to escape it. But I don't believe he found what he was looking for, because it simply isn't there to be found.

Charles Taylor explores this problem/contradiction/experience in incredible depth in A Secular Age. I wish waugh had been able to read it but I wonder if he would have.

I think the SCOTUS was right on the money this time, and I am well to the left of any of its members. My read of their verbiage about effectuation/article II was a suggestion to the District Court judge to eliminate any wiggle room the administration would try to exploit.
I’ve never heard of this company but according to the video below, they’re large enough to have a huge building.

Thank you for the feedback? Would you consider writing up an issue on our github with some more specifics? https://github.com/google/a2a

A2A is being developed in the open with the community. You are finding some early details that we are looking into and will be addressing. We have many partners who will be contributing and want this to be a truly open, collaborative endeavor. We acknowledge this is a little different than dropping a polished '1.0' version in github on day 1. But that is intentional :)
It turns out that in real life you don’t have any right to be forgotten, and trying to legally manufacture one is not only nonsensical, it’s impossible.

I think one could argue that FreeBSD is more cathedral-style than Linux, and there are other examples, especially for programming languages, where the inventor(s) want to avoid it being pulled in too many directions at once (extreme example: Jai).

I don't know that it's really such a binary either/or decision, more of a spectrum of "more cathedral-y" and "more bazaar-y."

Hi there (I work on a2a) - reposting from above.

A2A works at a different level than MCP. We are working with partners on very specific customer problems. Customers are building individual agents in different frameworks OR are purchasing agents from multiple vendors. Those agents are isolated and do not share tools, or memory, or context.

For example, most companies have an internal directory and internal private APIs and tools. They can build an agent to help complete internal tasks. However, they also may purchase an "HR Agent" or "Travel Assistant Agent" or "Tax Preparation Agent" or "Facilities Control Agent". These agents aren't sharing their private APIs and data with each other.

It's also difficult to model these agents as structured tools. For example, a "Tax Preparation Agent" may need to evaluate many different options and ask for specific different documents and information based on an individual users needs. Modeling this as 100s of tools isn't practical. That's where we see A2A helping. Talk to an agent as an agent.

This lets a user talk to only their company agent and then have that agent work with the HR Agent or Travel Booking Agent to complete complex tasks.

I suspect, this is just my personal opinion, doesn’t reflect any of my former or current employers opinions, the Amazon makes a lot of money based on ad revenue. I don’t think there’s a lot of evidence that they’re killing it on the online retail front.

there have been many e-commerce players that have come in to the gap there and specialize in these “niche” products or services that deliver fast as Amazon and it isn’t hard to do so if you’re willing to invest. i would not personally be surprised if amazon saw long term growth loss in their e-commerce sector, especially given the competetion from other retailers that have adjusted - like walmart and target.
I totally understand the contention around this topic but you're altering the keypoint of what the article is about. Why remove one country name and keep the other? The article is not about Meta, but how their platform is being manipulated by one country against the other. Your edit shows a strong evidence you're not taking a partisan position and have a preference. I am not sure you should be editing contenious posts when you don't hold a partisan position. Your edit is in the same realm as what the post is talking about. I understand moderation is tricky, but this goes way beyond moderation.
I think general consensus is against you. Fedora packaging policy [1]:

> Packages including libraries should exclude static libs as far as possible (eg by configuring with --disable-static). Static libraries should only be included in exceptional circumstances. Applications linking against libraries should as far as possible link against shared libraries not static versions.

Just yesterday i saw this quote from Brian Eno -

Every increase in your knowledge is a simultaneous decrease. You learn and you unlearn at the same time. A new certainty is a new doubt as well.

I pondered it a bit and arrived at "learning is losing innocence", from the point of view of somebody who mulls over Enos process. I think that sort of ties-in with this article.
Hobby soldering is still putting lead into the environment, and not with any necessary justification. Lead-free solder works fine. Lead solder is a bit easier, but not enough to matter. I do know as a hobbyist myself who has lived through the transition and know all about both the old and new worlds.

The problem isn't vaporizing, or the first consumers direct exposure. The problem is taking a pound of lead and distrubuting it all over the environment in the form of spatter, shavings, assembled pcbs, connections, etc. Probably less than half of the solder winds up in a product or project, and that is just a short delay on it's trip to the envirnment when the project is discarded. 100% of it ends there, and not in a nice solid lump but practically aresolized.

It's the same as just taking that same pound of lead and directly grinding it into a fine powder and just sprinkling it everywhere, where it becomes part of the soil more or less and leeches into everything and can't be removed.

And 100,000 or a million or many millions of other people all doing the same thing, every day, for generations. Yess millions. There are 300million just in the US alone, and there are more than one person in every 300 that solders at least some times.
Achieving the accuracy they do, with just mechanical parts powered by a spring, seems reasonably impressive to me.

It's basically the same technology that John Harrison used to win the Longitude Prize in the 1700s, revolutionizing navigation on the high seas.
> this goes way beyond moderation

I'm sorry, but that's not true—quite the opposite.

If you guys had any idea how next-to-impossible it is to host substantive discussions about a topic like this, you should recognize that you're getting what you want (frontpage attention for this story) instead of complaining about a secondary detail (the title edit).

A title edit like that is not making a statement about the underlying story, and certainly not trying to suppress any aspect of it. The article is one click away for people to read and make up their own minds about. This thread is filled with comments about the detail that I took out of the title; no one is missing it.

Rather, what I did was bog standard HN moderation, the sort of thing we've done thousands of times on hundreds of topics over 15+ years, purely for the purpose of supporting a substantive discussion of the article that you (I don't mean you personally, but the set of commenters who have been complaining about this) want to be discussed in the first place. From my point of view, that amounts to demanding 100% instead of saying yes to the 90% that you're getting in this case. That's not a realistic assessment of the tradeoffs with a thread like this.

Edit: I'm sorry if that sounded tetchy—I certainly understand the feeling you're expressing and why it feels that way.

I don't think you're wrong, but I think you may have misread the original post, which pointed out that Chrome was better than Firefox for years. You agree that Chrome had a huge performance advantage in 2008 and that this advantage persisted until Firefox released either JaegerMonkey, in 2011, or IonMonkey, in 2013; it's not clear which you're writing about. You also agree that Chrome had a stability and security advantage due to isolating each tab in its own process, which Firefox also didn't get for years.

You're replying to a post which claimed that Chrome was better than Firefox for years, with a rebuttal that claims Chrome was better than Firefox for years, but then Firefox improved. That doesn't change anything! Those early years from 2008 onward were critical for early adoption and gave Chrome inertia which it was able to ride to market dominance. I don't think any of your posts, while correct, have addressed that initial argument.
Just for context, that judge is an immigration judge, ie a Department of State employee. Immigration judges are not part of the judicial branch (despite the job title) and can't make precedent or interpret law. They are basically a rubber stamp for whatever policy the Secretary of State is pushing.
Elixir never performs all to well in microbenchmarks. Yet in every application I've seen Elixir/Erlang projects compared to more standard Node, Python, or even C# projects and the Elixir one generally has way better performance and feels much faster even under load.

Personally I think much of it is due to async being predominant in Node and python. Async seems much harder than actor or even threading for debugging performance issues. Sure it feels easier to do async at first. But async leads to small bloat adding up and makes it very difficult to debug and track down. It makes profiling harder, etc.

In BEAM, every actor has its own queue. It's trivial to inspect and analyze performance blockages. Async by contrast puts everything into one giant processing queue. Plus every function call in async gets extra overhead added. It all adds up.
On top of the comments below about SSE, I'd also point out that Cloudflare is doing some interesting stuff around serverless resumable websockets. They also have stuff for WebRTC.

They are both extremely well-known luxury watch manufacturers. The fact that you haven’t heard of them has nothing to do with them, it just means you’re not into luxury watches.

SSE does not require a separate connection, unlike WebSockets.
That’s basically RPC over WS.

This article conflates a lot of different topics. If your WebSocket connection can be easily replaced with SSE+POST requests, then yeah you don’t need WebSockets. That doesn’t mean there aren’t a ton of very valid use cases (games, anything with real time two-way interactivity).
A stack allocator is an allocator that aside from allocate, has a push and a pop function. Image an arena allocator (aka bump allocator), where ”push” stores the current start of free memory, and ”pop” resets to this point, erasing all allocations between push and pop. This is a stack allocator.

It is similar to the function stack, but push and pop can be arbitrarily granular, as opposed to only happening at entry/exit.
I used to wait for people to talk to me. But now I try first, and it works!
Through a well-structured setup, I have successfully obtained local models that provide reliable sources for their data per line, ensuring the validity of each response.
However, as the complexity of prompts increases, it becomes necessary to utilize larger models. This approach reduces the context window available to the model.

Draft models, when appropriately configured and supported by model quantizations, can also be beneficial. It is worth noting that some models may encounter quantization issues, as discussed in a Reddit thread.

I have yet to explore a multi-model playground where models engage in dialogue and exchange messages until a consensus is reached. There are several videos available that demonstrate this concept, which could serve as an alternative approach.

Sure, Windows 2000 was definitely great in a lot of ways, but Server 2003/R2 either extended on all of those (e.g. greatly improving AD and its management) or added on it's own big firsts such as x64 support - all without really introducing any of the types of downfall people hate the more modern versions for.

Daycare is suboptimal. Parents have a duty to and should have the freedom to take care if their kids.

Many parents feel the trap of daycare, and will never escape it.

A single income household is ideal over a dual income household with hired childcare.
Been programming in Lisp for a while. The parents disappear very quickly. One trick to accelerate it is to use a good editor with structural editing (e.g., paredit in Emacs or something similar). All you editing is done on balanced expressions. When you type “(“, the editor automatically inserts “)” with your cursor right in between. If you try to delete a “)”, the editor ignores you until you delete everything inside and the “(“. Basically, you start editing at the expression level, not so much at the character or even line level. You just notice the indentation/shape of the code, but you never spend time counting parentheses or trying to balance anything. Everything is balanced all the time and you just write code.
That used to be called “Comet” back in the early 2000s.

Did you try using an established library like socket.io, connectRPC etc? They handle a lot of the complexity.
