The "no moat" memo is way more complex than Google admitting an uncomfortable truth. The benefit massively from having seemingly internal documents leaked about how the play field is fair.

Flow state has been redefined now that we are all using Claude Code. If I can stay focused on tests, reviewing code, etc while CC is doing its thing, we are good. The kloc/s doesn't matter as much.

Between Github and Copilot, MS has a copy of all of your code.

If you just want stories and don't care about the comments, just use the search bar.

HN is by ICs who write code, the 90% of the folks that build all the stuff, largely neutral to negative. It has gained some excellent traction with 10% of the folks, but it is quite behind compared to ai coding subreddits. Months behind.

A 100 page composition notebook is still under $3. It is enough.

You can be funny, or cool, but not both. -- The Rock

That doesn't make the scientists posers unless they are pretending to be something they aren't. Poser has a specific meaning.

A fuzzy vector is a Gaussian? Thinking of what it would be in 1, 2, 3 and n dimensions.

The argument isn't about who has the standard lib, what I think Kragen is saying is that that the Python leadership has no qualms about removing functionality that people rely on and making up lame reasons to do so.

You can't carry anything to infinity, by definition. Please argue constructively.

Python is for everyone, not just the PSF Cabal. Like the Democratic party, there is a huge need for new leadership. We have all seen what a little brigading can do.

Brian Hempel https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/%7Ebrianhempel/ also from uchicago has some great bimodal projects.

I'd love to see more of these. In fact, I think it would make an amazing language feature zoo. Mine are heredoc, underscores to format large number 8_098_162_123

pip install ziglang

Yeah, I would have expected more out of Puget Systems, they know better.

It is referenced down in the wonderful tree of knowledge, but I thought I would lift this info up to the top level. A system like this called a "bimodal editor" from the work of Ravi Chugh [1] see the project Sketch-n-Sketch [2] these kinds of systems got a big kick in the pants with Bret Victor's talk Inventing On Principle [3]. That in turn kicked off a wonderful dynamic execution Clojure IDE called lighttable [4]

There are tons of other great research projects and researchers in this fascinating space. Comment is not meant to exclude.

Really too bad that they ran only one test, and it was a small model.

Nice submissions! I appreciate that you post them even though they are lost in the crashing surf.

Better spoons, better food.

Startup founders just hack the value gradient. Putting a screen door lock on a resource is just inviting resource extraction.

At this point all of Apple's AI take-down papers have serious flaws. This one has been beaten to death. Finding citations is left to the reader.

I know a guy that can run those meetings.

He meets with all the stake holders, determines their desired outcomes, makes sure they are all prepped.

Starts the meeting, sets the goals and the ground rules.

As soon as the meeting exit criteria are met (either another meeting, more homework or a decision has been made) the meeting is over. Done.

Most meetings with this guy lasted 12-17 minutes.

His job was toilsome, but he saved everyone else. I am getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

Tired of comment, not the corporate malfeasance. That is you problem.

It does fine on Arm assembly (and Neon).

Anytime someone tells you to be in it for the mission, you are expendable and underpaid.

I like to call anything I don't like "anti-patterns".

They are all worth reading.

I only referred to the API as exposed by Proton, no argument was made for targeting a different ABI.
