hmm, I suspect distributed systems can be modelled with a form of probabilistic borrow-checking as long as you have control all the connected systems.

It matters because it means that lab could not train that model without distilling another frontier model, and their progress would slow once they get properly cut-off. If I funded…

Electric Clojure does incremental rendering that crosses the client/server boundary: http://electric.hyperfiddle.net/ The closest thing to Electric (IMO) is SolidJS, but frontend o…

This is helpful, because practically many functions in the wild have assert-like checks at the top of the function, e.g. `(if-not key1 (throw (Exception ...))` ...and pre-condition…

Very cool! Idea: show the definition of the word when you find it, so you can learn new words. (edit: ah, I see they are shown later)

This is such an obvious feature for Glassdoor, but needs verification to avoid abuse.

In case you want to view the menu, press Tab. Click outside menu items to resume game.

Only a fool would enter their name in this.

I’m surprised to see the model names hardcoded as an enum (e.g. `.sonnet4_6`), instead of a string with model discovery so that the user can select their preferred model without ha…

How to shoot? I can't figure it out. Perhaps made harder by typing on Colemak. Edit: OK, spacebar shoots, but it's hard to see the cannons flying due to low contrast. And it shoots…

AI threatens the programmer identity.

Ooh, thanks for this. I'm going to try quercetin for my histadine sensitivity in red wine, which causes a skin reaction. I thought it was the sulphites, but after trying older wine…

Iocaine powder is a fictional, odorless, and tasteless poison from The Princess Bride.

Not a Rogue-like specialist, it's hard – I haven't made it out of level 1 yet.

If query strings are banned, tracking parameters will simply move to the URL, or use `?t=` & `?h=` if those are whitelisted.

This reminds me of the META [^1] II paper [^2]: > META II is a domain-specific programming language for writing compilers. It was created in 1963–1964 by Dewey Val Schorre at Unive…

Datomic was the reason I switched [^1] to Clojure as my primary language in 2014. It was a gamble, but it paid off in the end. I maintain that Clojure is the best AI-first language…

thx that looks much better, but I'll forget that syntax in the next 3 months. nowadays I am just casual commenter on HN spending points on contrarian views that I know will be down…

Your device is the ultimate edge. The next frontier would be running models on your wetware.

You need to curate your algorithm. Took me 10 years before I started blocking aggressively and now my feed is amazing with 90% bangers. Twitter is by far the best product in this s…

@dang, pleaaase can we get proper markdown formatting on HN? I tried adding two spaces after each line, but I don't want paragraphs between code

The inversion is really cool, e.g. > f = λa λb concat ["Hello ",a," ",b,"!"] > f "Jane" "Doe" Hello Jane Doe! then, > g = f "Admiral" > invert g "Hello Admiral Alice!" Alice
