Interestingly, Sydney does not seem to have an event listed on this site when I checked. Adelaide and Auckland lead the charge, with an occasional Melbourne meetup.

As an aside, I dislike the strong association between Rails and Ruby. Ruby can be a fun scripting language. In my experience I'm generally about as productive writing Ruby as I am with writing Python, but Ruby seems to get bucketed into a very Rails centric world of "not the worst choice you could make if you wanted to make a web service" (at least when it comes to meetups).

Maybe it's just that the web service guys are more likely to need a support group! :)

Julia?

Interesting project..

> The most prominent feature of Zine is that every file format it uses has been created from scratch in order to handcraft the content authoring experience.

Sadly, this part is more of a detractor for me. Using generic templating languages, markup languages, etc. means that I'm not locking my content in to the only SSG that supports SuperHTML, SuperMD, Ziggy etc.

I appreciate the enthusiasm and open sourcing this for others to learn from, good luck with the project!

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the enjoyable article!

Possibly off-topic, but I am coder with hobbyist interest in the DSP space. I have never really had a "penny drop" moment when it comes to starting from nothing and generating sound.

Even generating simple sine wave seems like either a big chore or a completely abstract concept (depending on the tools/libraries/environment), I have not been able to find a middle-ground where I feel like I am learning but not getting completely lost in trigonometry or calculus. I am not sure if I'm not using the right tools or if I need to start even simpler and build up. GNU Radio comes close to scratching an itch for me of generating signal processing pipelines and a bit of intuition, but ultimately it becomes pretty easy to get lost in that as well (and it seems mostly focused on actual radio use-cases).

Do you have any advice for someone looking to build more familiarity or intuition on this front?

Yes, is this a slight hardware refresh to the EP-133 with a new skin and different factory presets?

The KO-1 had a similar "Street Fighter" edition, which could be loaded with the original PO-33 samples.

Are there any reasons not to buy this over the EP-133 from a pure capability standpoint? I wish the marketing were a bit clearer on that front, seems we need to intuit this by diving into the specs and capabilities ourselves.

Not an expert, but I believe it's related to this difference:

> LLMs which are good at editing code, not just good at writing code

So it may be that Gemma can write new code, but is not particularly good at editing or refactoring code.

It gets more interesting if you optimise for time instead of cost. If it takes you 15 minutes to craft something using 80c of currency, but you can instead run maps and average 300c an hour, then you still might prefer paying 100c for the guaranteed outcome (buying it already made) than going for "average" cost of 80c and having to craft it yourself.

Do it again, but optimise for fun instead of time and we've come full-circle :)

Strictly speaking, SQS does not necessarily store data on disk and being highly available and fault tolerant does not exclude one from operating a completely volatile data store. Indeed, SQLite itself has an in-memory option which, when appropriately architected, could be used as the primary data store for a highly available and fault tolerant queue.

Having said that, I think it is safe to assume that SQS probably stores information to non-volatile storage.

Nice work on the project!

This is what you said:

> An archive very clearly means something very specific

What you perhaps meant to say was:

"An archive that infringes US copyright laws should not be afforded protections under US law"

Most people, myself included, took issue with the way you dismissed IA as not being an archive altogether; it clearly is an archive and whether or not it infringes US copyright law does not change that fact.

Whether it should be protected by law is a different matter.

Even by OPs own link, they are wrong.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108

> it is *not an infringement of copyright* for a library or archives

Emphasis is mine here. The OPs link does not define what an archive is or isn't, it defines constraints on an archive or library such that it doesn't infringe on copyright according to US law.

To conclude that the IA is not operating an archive because they might be infringing on some copyrights according to US law is fallacious thinking.

I was worried how they'd do as it felt like Opus was very expensive compared to GPT-4o but with worse performance. They're now claiming to beat GPT-4o AND do it cheaper, that's impressive.

You're in a discussion with two different users. I haven't specifically expressed anything about my view of the world.

Free speech absolutism doesn't exist in a bubble, but falls under a broader civil rights umbrella. Most free speech absolutists here would likely understand that Hacker News is a privately ran forum.

Many free speech absolutists would agree that Hacker News should not be compelled to publish off-topic or rule-breaking discussions any more than a cake shop owner should be compelled to sell you a cake displaying a message that the cake shop owner doesn't agree with.

If you are truly interested, start with the basics and start with what has happened in your own country:

You do not seem truly interested though. My guess is that you do not feel that your particular speech/expressions are under threat.

I think it depends how you think of the initial number, I think of it as a fraction and the multiplier applies to the denominator.

eg. if hallucinations occur roughly 1 in 20 prompts then 10x fewer is 1 in 200 prompts, rather than 0.1 in 20 prompts.

I didn't really complete the analogy.

Once you hit 100 actual pages of your notebook, I could either give up completely or I can say "Hey that first page you wrote to, I noticed you haven't used it in a while... I'm just going to store that in the filing cabinet."

Now again we're fine and we're even past 100 pages, but if you ever need to read the page I stored in in the filing cabinet, I'll have to swap that page out for another page, which will be time consuming and inefficient.

I think what many people forget is that applications can ask for a bunch of memory and then never do anything with it (or just do something with it once).

Imagine you want to write something down, so you ask me for a notebook. Now you start writing very slowly such that I can tell you're not going to need more than one page of that notebook for quite a while.

I don't want to take the notebook away from you because you're fussy and you insist on having the entire notebook to yourself, but someone else comes along also wanting to write something down.

Me being the clever kernel that I am, decide to let you keep a "virtual" copy of your notebook, but really only the first page of it is "real" paper and I give the notebook to the next person who ALSO insists on having an entire notebook to write down a few words on a page.

I can now have 20 people all writing in their own "virtual" 100 page notebooks, while I really only have a single 100 page notebook to go around.

Only when the combined total of all needed pages REALLY hits 100 pages will I start to run into issues.

Yes this is one of those spam sites that regenerates existing articles (including modifying quotes of people, or hallucinating them entirely).

More likely this is a change in a popular AMI or container image that is being used by a lot of different users, eg. a startup script that unnecessarily pulls or syncs from EPEL.

I suspect there are only a handful of vendors with popular enough AMIs or container images that could account for this, though.

I'm aware of plenty of airlines who are not transparent with their fees and are often advertised as much cheaper than some of my preferred airlines.

I don't trust the price I'm quoted until I get to checkout, but if I don't even SEE them in my list of flights to compare, they're not likely to be a consideration.

A lot of flight aggregators also support filtering in/out airlines and I often do this with those who are sneaky about their fees.

I didn't know they weren't listed on flight aggregator services and I almost certainly did not consider Southwest when flying to FL for this very reason.

Seems to me that Southwest are learning the hard way that not being competitive and transparent with consumers about their pricing is bad for business.

This finding is not surprising at all. It's well established that the majority of ALL consumed content comes from a small number of sources, relative to the population.

Misinformation following the same pattern as all other content seems rather uninteresting.

I would like to know about the differences in how misinformation spreads when compared to other content.

Agreed. In fact, I thought this was an iteration on the previously announced "Devin" project until I realised that they have different spelling.

From the PR where this was discussed: https://github.com/prisma/language-tools/pull/1716

> Do [...] Respect the user's attention by only sending notifications when absolutely necessary

> Do [...] Add a Do not show again option for every notification

> Don't [...] Use for promotion

janpio@, the self-proclaimed Senior Product Manager @ Prisma, then locks onto the "Do not show again" section of the VSCode guidelines

> our default behavior, to only show the notification once

Seemingly ignoring the two other glaring guidelines informing them that this is a bad idea. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

I've only ever seen photos of the northern lights and I also didn't know that.

I enjoyed part 1 of the article and began reading part 2 where it mentions Barry a few times, but when I read and re-read part 1 I see no mention of Barry.

FWIW I think that Barry becoming a Maria is entirely possible and consistent with the age old "5 Monkeys" office fax meme.

The comments in the article discuss the pricing.

> How can you review something across three pages without even mentioning even a ballpark figure for the price!?

> Because it’s nearly $8000 and the terms of the review agreement probably stipulate they’re not allowed to share that.

> I picked up one of these in December 2023 for $3700. Now that the cost of NAND has spiked they seem to be around $6400.

Looking into it a bit myself, it seems you can pick up 30TB and 15TB drives for around ~$106/TB which doesn't really seem that bad. It's just over twice the price (per TB) of the cheapest consumer grade SSDs I could find.

Yeah I remember reading about it's relation to LLVM issues etc. I also think there was another (languishing) fork of the entire zig repo which had some support for Xtensa which I couldn't find at the time, but I found it.

https://github.com/ominitay/zig/tree/xtensa

Edit: I see you are the same kassane from the GitHub thread. Thank you for your efforts on Xtensa support! Would be great to have it out-of-the-box at some point.

ESP32 and STM32 support is very welcome!

I have been following https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/5467 for a while and progress seemed to have slowed significantly
