This demonstrates why forcing people to use E-mail addresses as user IDs is a stupid, stupid policy.

Thanks. I thought V8 was the runtime.

I was wondering how this kind of change makes its way into environments like Deno. I'm building a project on Deno too.

As I understand it, Deno provides the "language server" for editors like VS Code. So how does Deno use this... whatever it is from Microsoft? What exactly did they deliver here?

I don't understand what this is, based on this statement:

"Astro supports every major UI framework. Bring your existing components and take advantage of Astro's optimized client build performance."

But isn't Astro a framework itself? And then apparently you need Node as well. The frameworks upon frameworks in Web development are baffling.

I don't know a lot about containers. Would containers created for/with this also work in Docker?

Good name for this app, BTW.

This is a good point. I'd rather have something with the S3 option, so I can serve the pages from my house but the images from a speedier source.

And a Delete key. I DETEST keyboards that lack Delete keys.

WTF, Apple?

Mmmm, not a membrane keyboard. This is a membrane keyboard: https://www.the-liberator.net/site-files/retro-games/hardwar...

I agree, if they needed YouTube to show a list of defunct ice cream flavors.

Whatever that means.

Fire the developer.

Because someone saw fit to downvote it.

For some reason it's fashionable on HN to promote douchily obscure posts, and condemn those who call for better.

If you hadn't brought that up, I would have.

Sony should not be let off the hook for its offensive (essentially criminal) behavior.

I won't even review Sony's decades-long efforts to undermine industry standards...

Thanks for the reply. I've been programming professionally since the '90s (no background in ML or neural networks and whatnot), and I realize that the weights are numbers. So I was asking whether different weight sets can be applied to a model at will.

I'm really just trying to get a handle on the different layers so I can set up an environment and put it to work for limited coding assistance. For my purposes, I think an all-local setup is the best way for me to learn and should be enough for the coding tasks I have in mind. Mainly I want to automate tedious tasks away, like "modify these Swift classes' members and JSON deserialization routines to match what's coming out of my server API."

Thanks for the link! Reading it right now... and yes, this looks great. Appreciate it.

So you can apply different weights to those "non-open" models?

Also, I've read a bunch of descriptions of AI components, but none of them has said what the weights are applied to in the model. I guess that every model contains a dictionary of words and phrases, and the weights map relationships between them?

All the descriptions simply talk about weights being applied to "input," but neglect to say what that input is compared to. If a user submits a query, are the words in the query weighed against the words in the model?

Can you recommend a primer on this whole process?

And "analysts" flip out on the stock, when these products are < 15% of Apple's revenue. Clowns.

Thanks. You used to be able to do it from the menu itself, though. I don't even remember the method...

And now the file system is just an irritating mess. Why are there mirrors of your home-directory structure, most of them "forbidden," littering the left pane? I waste so much time every hour of every day hunting down my most-used directories. Yes, I pinned some shortcuts on my desktop, but that means herding windows out of the way to get to them.

Finder blows, but somehow I navigate better with it now than I can with Explorer.

Thanks for the reply, and that option. Pretty cool!

But the crossbars aren't serifs!

Downvote all you want, but a fact is a fact: The article doesn't define the abbreviation before using it.

Thanks!

I never thought that, and I know very little about the space. In attempting to learn about the available options as fast as possible (along with TS and JS), I learned that the same guy launched a total re-do to address the shortcomings he realized through years of experience with his original product. I didn't imagine he could do that without breaking compatibility.

Makes sense.

Yep, it's hard to say what the right move was.

I'd appreciate an explanation of what "open weight model" means. Is it a "weight model" that is open, or a model with open weights (so should be "open-weight model"), or is it weights that can be applied to a model?

Are weights separable from a model? And if not, what is the point of saying "open-weight model" instead of just "open model?"

To the newcomer, it's hard to determine what the components of an AI system are from the throwing-around of these terms.

Well if Node compatibility is your big deal then yeah, why not just use it?

I started a new project on Deno to avoid the NPM mess. Node compatibility was a distraction for the product.

I'm tired of everything depending on Node. Assuming that everybody uses it is lazy.

Paywalled.

The article neglects to define "DHT" before using it.

The "code" version:

  Capital "i" has crossbars? CHECK

  Zero is distinguishable from O? CHECK

  Capital "i" has crossbars? NOPE, so no dice.

I didn't see that statement in the (door-shaped) video, so I'll take your word for it.

How popular do you think the tall-ass trucks are in Portugal?

Not very, which is why I was mystified by your question. Why would we NEED special sanctions for non-Americans?

Not addressed (as far as I saw) are the penalties for texting & driving in different countries. In the USA, they're basically nonexistent.

But let's say there's no difference, and no difference in the prevalance of this behavior. Texting is still going to be far more deadly behind the wheel of a giant barge. In fact, the vehicle difference serves as a multiplier for the deadly outcomes of it.

Indeed, it seems like the honorable approach.
