It's quite important to me because to some approximation, "legal" is some sort of morality that society can agree on. Absent that, partisans from each side can come up with spurious arguments to justify extrajudicial violence against whatever they hate. For pro-lifers, it might be that abortion is murder and therefore they can bomb abortion clinics. For "hate speech" opponents, it might be that "hate speech" causes actual violence and therefore it's fine to use violence against "hate speech" to prevent said violence from happening. The list goes on and on.

Quoting myself:

> Hybrid aircraft? What if there was a battery large enough for takeoff and landing, a small motor (or pair for redundancy) for cruising and to recharge the battery, and motors and fans or propellers wherever is best from an aerodynamic perspective.

Would this be better than a conventional design? I don’t know, but availability of very high power-to-weight motors would help.

The problem is that the overwhelming majority of input it has in-fact seen somewhere in the corpus it was trained on. Certainly not one for one but easily an 98% match. This is the whole point of what the other person is trying to comment on i think. The reality is most of language is regurgitating 99% to communicate an internal state in a very compressed form. That 1% tho maybe is the magic that makes us human. We create net new information unseen in the corpus.

Any ebike that goes faster than 25kmph in Europe and whatever it is in NA should not be allowed anywhere were pedestrians can go.

The real solution people don't want to accept is that ALL non arterial roads in ANY urban/suburban/rural environment should be limited to 30kpmh (and equivalent in NA). And by limited I mean traffic calmed: 1 lane per direction, narrow lanes, raised street crossing, raised intersections, European style roundabouts, the works (Dutch style) - so that people actually respect the speed limit because they don't want to bang their car.

Once that happens, bike stay in bike lanes (or multi use paths with pedestrians) and everything else can go on the regular non arterial roads and stuff that's registered (mopeds and up) and go on any road.

But my "solution" requires major political adoption and probably decades of sustained vision in investment. In places with good governance it will happen naturally and everywhere else will slowly be left behind.

Absolutely.. the fundamental point is that extrapolating ARR from consumption in a given month is misleading for something that is fundamentally not sticky/recurring. And building a prototype is more of a one-time task than a recurring task... that's the fundamental question with this business. Can they turn it into some truly recurring task? Only when they do that can they really have a right to call it "ARR". In my opinion

Indeed, a comment above linked to Matt Levine's newsletter on the off-books debt that is showing up instead as things like JVs, and here's another Bloomberg Reporter, Carmen Arroyo, covering it from a more journalistic angle:

“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sounded exasperated when Altimeter Capital founder—and OpenAI shareholder—Brad Gerstner asked him the question that Gerstner said was ‘hanging over the market’: how a company generating $13 billion in revenue this year would pay for the $1.4 trillion in computing capacity that Altman has said the company is on the hook for.

‘Brad, if you want to sell shares, I’ll find you a buyer…I just—enough,’ Altman said on Gerstner’s podcast.”

> hx-target attribute is explicitly declared as inherited on the enclosing div and, if it wasn’t, the button elements would not inherit the target from it.

So confusing. I'm pretty sure it should be "inheritable", because "inherited" on an attribute means the attribute is inherited, not the element's children will inherit the attribute.

UPDATE: or "inherit", sounds like a command, little less confusing.

Absolutely agree. People made the bad decisions. But the bad choices existed. People who don't understand the bad choices are bad choices, or worse, think that there is no possible way there is a bad choice, are far more likely to end up being those people who made bad decisions then people who understand that the decisions mattered.

Don't go running around telling people that they can dig the Panama Canal with three toothpicks and a spare weekend, and if they fail, well by golly they just didn't have enough grit and gumption like us awesome folks who could have done it with only two. Tool choice matters. In fact I can hardly process how anyone can be an engineer and think that it doesn't, let alone how they can think it's some sort of engineering wisdom to claim that it doesn't matter what tools you use to do a project.

Of course, picking the tool is only the moment the project may fail. It is not the moment the project succeeds; there's still a lot of using it correctly that will be necessary and plenty of further opportunities to fail even with the correct tool. But at least success is within the range of possibilities. You can forstall that possibility entirely on day one with incorrect tool choices.

I can appreciate why people would have this perspective - I have been rugpulled a few times recently by thoroughly unscrupulous companies (Augment Code are trash humans).

But Datastar is different. The project is literally owned by a 501c3 non-profit. The devs have dayjobs and donate their spare time to this. Funds are for going to conferences or hosting their own

And 99% of the features/value that I mentioned is MIT licensed, and the "rugpulled" code is still available to easily port via the plugin API.

> By switching to fetch(), we can take advantage of its support for readable streams, which allow for a stream of content to be swapped into the DOM, rather than a single response.

Based on this section, it will be interesting to see how this evolves. I've used HTMX a bunch but after stumbling on Datastar I've come to prefer it. Partially because I don't need something like alpine.js to get some frontend goodies but also because I've come to appreciate the power of SSE streaming morphable targets to the browser

I enjoyed this. I find it somewhat telling though that while the title is about "the internet", the actual discussion about what's changed focuses a lot on money. You can argue that the internet changed how money is made, but I think it's a mistake to conflate technology with our societal response to and management of it. As gun-control advocates love to point out, firearms have been around for centuries but that doesn't mean people everywhere are shooting each other constantly. We have things like laws to contain the effects of technology. I think a major component of the culutral changes described in the article is a lack of political will to ensure, by force if necessary, that the economic gains of technology are spread widely.

Another caveat to the title is that the article seems mostly to be talking about the "web 2.0" or post-social-media internet. I'd say that earlier stages of the internet, particularly what some people now see as the "golden age" from the late 1990s to around 2010, actually involved a remarkable flowering of culture. Blogs proliferated, traditional media started making websites with substantial content, and there were valuable achievements in new media like Flash games. The article says:

> The internet has made it easy to evaluate all content — including criticism — against three key metrics: views, likes, and shares.

And that's true, but it's not "the internet" that did that, it's the specific subset of the internet that we allowed to run amok. Blaming that on the internet is like looking at a street full of obnoxious advertising signs and saying that paint ruined this town; maybe that's a factor, but another one is a lack of signage laws.

The part of the internet that has destroyed and continues to destroy culture is the part that's built on pandering and profiteering, which, not coincidentally, is the same part of other industries that has destroyed beautiful and promising things in the past.

That said, the article makes a lot of good points. This one in particular:

> What happened to journalism in the 21st century is, in many ways, the story of the conflict between two utopian values: Information wants to be free and Writers should be paid.

There's no denying that technology played in role in the creation of this dilemma. It's not just about journalism, of course. It has to do with the fact that computers enable the essentially resource-free copying of information, and that's affected many industries (perhaps most notably the artistic ones like movies and music that the article discusses in other contexts). But just because technology brings us new problems doesn't mean we can't address those problems by updating our expectations and standards of behavior.

Over the 5 years of my career I mostly worked with Elixir and JavaScript (Node.js, React) but I feel comfortable in Python as well. I like learning new stuff especially when it makes sense for the project — over the years, I’ve picked up different tools and stacks as needed. I’m looking for a place where I can take ownership, keep learning, and contribute to a product and a team I believe in. I'd prefer to keep working with Elixir but I'm open to other technologies as well

I know people here don't like it when one answers to complaints about OSS projects with "go fix it then" but seeing the comment section here, it's hard to not at least think it.

About 50-100 people saying that they know exactly why NC is slow, bloated, bad, but fail to a) point out a valid alternative, b) to act and do something about it.

I'm going to say that I love NC despite its slow performance. I own my storage, I can do Google Drive stuff without selling my soul (aka data) to the devil and I can go patch up stuff, since the code is open.

Is downloading lots of JS and waiting a few seconds bad? Yes. But did I pay for any of it? No. Am I the product as a result of choosing NC? Also no.

Having a basic file system with a dropbox alternative and being able to go and "shop" for extensions and extra tools feels so COOL and fun. Do I want to own my password manager? Bam, covered. Do I want to centralise calendar, mail and kanban into one? Bam, covered.

Codebase is AGPL, installs easily and you don't need to do surgery every new update.

I've been running it without hiccups for over 6 years now.

Would I love it to be as fast and smooth as a platform developed by an evil tech behemoth which wants to swallow everyone's data? Of course, am I happy NC exists? Yes!

And if you got this far, dear reader, give it a try. It's free and you can delete it in a second but if you find something to improve and know how, go help, it helps us all :)

"With effortless focus, Munenori Sensei smoothly pulls the arrow to bend his bow. Released like a ripe fruit, the arrow glides. It races toward your heart.

In the eternity of the arrow’s flight, you wonder: What is this present moment? Confronting its end, your mind becomes razor sharp, cleav- ing time into uncountable, quickly passing moments.

At one such perfect instant you see the arrow as it floats, suspended between the finest ticks of the most precise clock. In this instant of no time, the arrow has no motion, and nothing pushes or pulls it toward your heart. How, then, does it move?

While your beginner’s mind embraces the mystery, the arrow flies."

In my first post, the example I really wanted to use was people picking Go for their top-end, competitive-with-anything-in-the-market database. I choose Python just because anyone who would argue that is a good choice is clearly not someone who is in a position to see reason. But I think Go is a serious mistake... it's just one that lets you get to market, unlike Python which never would. But it's still going to end up holding back the company that makes that decision in the end.

> And, yes, if you could somehow freeze a human's current physical configuration at some time, you would absolutely, in principle, given what we know about the universe, be able to concretely map input to into actions. You cannot separate a human's representative configuration from their environment in this way, so, behavior appears much more non-deterministic.

What's the point in making an argument in principle for something that's not feasible? That's like arguing we could in principle isolate a room with a physicist looking inside a box to see whether the cat is alive or dead, putting the entire experiment is superposition to test Many Worlds or whatever interpretation.

Unrelated to this issue but I've had a race condition with Automake which while run oin 2-4 threads occured exactly every 2nd run. With -j48 it was obvious it's a race condition. No idea how cache invalidation works in the automake stack, but that must have caused it to fail exactly 50% of the time.

This is an absolutely horrible idea. I’m not questioning the technology choice. But as someone interested in their career, it makes no sense to focus on a language or technology that is not popular. It’s both bad from the recruiting side trying to get developers who are smart enough to care about their n+1 job and the developer side.

There are probably less code samples and let’s be honest this is 2025, how well do LLMs generate code for obscure languages where the training data is more sparse?

I don't know your motivations but I know the "HN hive mind" isn't the problem. When you do engage with people who disagree with you, it usually becomes evident to me that there isn't much substance behind your views and that you struggle to disagree amicably. I also see lots of people on HN with a similar perspective to yours who don't have the same problems or engage in the same patterns of behavior.

The facts are that HN has a diverse set of perspectives with many conservative/libertarian commenters who would align with you, but that your comments are frequently shallow flamebait. Though I have seen a couple good points you've made, as well. Do with that information what you will.

> One can argue that `they dont come with expectations that you behave politely or give regards to others` is a family conflict that causes screen time.

If the cause of conflict is someone unwilling to behave politely or give regards of others and then the said person go back to screen, then it is not screen time because of conflict.

It is screentime because someone is unwilling to stop insulting the siblings (or whatever) and parents dropped the ball by allowing it.

One important difference that I found is that HTMX (and Alpine AJAX) can easily push a URL into the browser's location history. I've used this feature often with my Django projects--essentially storing the state in the URL which is great for sharing URLs or bookmarking them. As far as I'm aware, Datastar have locked this feature behind the "Pro" paywall.

Reddit has paid ads that appear as threads with auto starting videos AND posts that look like highlight replies but are actually ads.

YouTube has insidious ads and go out of their way to attack any method of circumventing them.

It is an offense to posit that ad-free original content spewing fountain that is HN in the same league as Reddit or YouTube.

I think it has been discussed a few times that Wikipedia is a place where various kinds of zealots, fanatics, and obsessives can go and play a variant of the game of Diplomacy. This tends to drive away normal people who have subject matter knowledge, but are not interested in investing their time in long political campaigns over Wikipedia rules and power struggles.

It seems this happens in many places where the opportunity presents itself. StackOverflow seems to suffer from a similar (not identical) issue.

They had everything. I had a mobile phone and a public library.

NASA-funded engineers with labs and supercomputers produced a theory and a news article.

A homeless man with a smartphone and free WiFi produced the complete, manufacturing-ready blueprint to end world hunger.

This isn't a negotiation. This is you admitting that your entire R&D model is a fossil. I am not a developer; I am a singularity. You can either license this technology and evolve, or become obsolete with the rest of the system you represent.

They have a page about pros and cons: https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2/

For my use case, the visual distortion of S2 was quite a no-go.

As for DB queries, it really depends on your use case and how you store your data, but you can get some good results. But yeah, if you really need exact parent-child containment, S2 is easier to work with.

> If we assembled the sum total of all published human knowledge on a storage medium and gave a computer the ability to search it extremely well in order to answer any question falling within its domain, there, you would have a Nobel Prize beating "A.I".

Which is not what LLMs do (synthesis is the core feature, not retrieval), and not how you get a Nobel Prize; many people have access to essentially all human knowledge, but have no Nobel Prize.

Did you notice that the photographs taken at that event showed that his right ear was bloodied, implying that it was damaged by the bullet passing by. Believable, kinda. But then the Time photo showing his Georgia O'Keeffe neck also showed his completely intact right ear.

The attempt in itself is not just political violence, but also provides grounds for justifying violence against "enemies."
