Wow, wonderful of you to make this. It really causes a lot of burnout to make things over and over.

I will need to play with this to make more informed opinion, but based on description and info on landing page, I love what you are doing.

One thing that crosses my mind, clearly not applicable in this case as you are far along, but making it more interesting to write these specs would go a long way on improving how people use this. Like, I would consider some kind of markdown or at least TOML... something with indentation as opposed to braces.

Anyhow, anything that would save me from writing boilerplate code is more then welcome.

It would be cool if there is a standard way and then people start making plugins and stuff. It would have to be open source as VCs spoil the thing.
Note learning the manifolds that ‘strange attractors’ live on was big in the 1980s but the breakthroughs in discovering structures in high dimension spaces from neural networks are paying off for dynamic systems.

Yes because the people running human societies have traditionally been transparent and fair until 2008.

Conspiracy thinking is not new, the mobilization and scale of social media allows the "othering" of people to reach a level we haven't seen since the second world war. And that's frightening.
I left this as general comment and I feel it's relevant here:

> Reading the post and then HN comments makes me realize the average HN user lacks a lot of emotional intelligence.

> People are criticizing the post based on the cold hard mistakes the author made while completely glossing over the emotional introspection the author went through to acknowledge all their mistakes and finally close this chapter of their lives.

> Stop treating this post like you are code reviewing a PR.

I suppose it is to be somewhat expected from the target audience of HN to fixate on the logical parts and completely ignore the artistic and emotional parts, but in this case that means they are ignoring the whole point of your post.
I always give the example of my first .NET program (2003? Forgive me if I forget some of the names of things). It was a report page for showing some counts of a field in a file. I build an aspx page and put the asp:Table on it and set the DataSource and in no time I had the list. Then we had to add the total. This required adding a Footer control and some custom code - no problem. Next we had a requirement to add a sub total throughout. This was impossible. So I had to completely throw out everything I'd done and re-write it.
I think you're arguing around something very different to what I'm saying. None of this is to do with whether web3 stuff is a good idea, or whether the underlying Blockchain setup/concept is useful or whether distributed whatevers are good. This is a product launch giving access to that data under a common API.
Are you a programmer? Or are you basing this off the results that programmers have been getting out of the tool?

I don't think body positivity is needed for that, just manners. Is there actually a problem that is being solved by body positivity that can't be solved by just being polite?
> We need to be kinder to ourselves.

Everyone else needs to be kinder to themselves. I, on the other hand, am a worthless piece of shit who deserves no kindness.

Resolving that obvious hypocrisy would require me to accept that I'm "not special"; see, singling myself out as the sole human being who deserves to hate themselves keeps me in a special category. You already mentioned the real problem:

> identity

Yup, there it is. "Part of my identity" and "not part of my identity" are stupid and useless characterizations that we all, me included, cling to desperately. It's extremely freeing to give up parts of your own identity. I try, but it's hard. It feels like death ... but then if it works, it feels like a rebirth. Hating myself is one of the hardest parts of my identity to give up. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to.

But let's all agree to ruthlessly murder those awful "I'm just not good at math" parts of our identities, and help everyone else murder their own. It's such an easy virus to catch, and so damaging.
Yes some trust of the project is required. Consider what would motivate them to do something malicious. They do not know who is using the OS since these phones are anonymous and the user base is relatively small. Neither targeted surveillance nor bulk collection is really possible because of this.

The code is completely open source. With the most paranoid of us using and reviewing the code, any malicious code inserted would immediately kill the entire project. We can install and switch to another OS anytime we need to.
Keeping steady state is not impressive. But we’ll see when another log4j happens, and everyone’s phone numbers and other personal information is leaked.
Lisp doesn't have None; it has nil. The Lisp nil was not inspired by the conflation of referentiality and optionality in popular static type systems. It predates them.
You could defend anything with this absurd argument.
Interesting. I've heard that complaint before and I'm not sure how to address it since I have only used reStructuredText in what are likely smaller projects.

I think it's strange for a language to absolutely rely on the architecture of one compiler. Ideally it should have at least two that are both under FLO (free/libre/open) licenses.

Regarding LLVM specifically, see here: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2014-01/msg00247.html
For what it's worth, I'll second that I thought the end poem wasn't very good.
If you read the article, you will see that the issue is that Fedora configures it really poorly for a single user system not that systemd-oomd doesn't work. They enroll all the user processes into it.
Very interesting--Codon can generate standalone executables, object files, and LLVM IR [1]. It has strong typing for functions and argument return values [2]. Syntax looks more compact than Cython.

Looking forward to giving Codon a try!

Chrome does default to x11, but it is easily changeable via chrome://flags.

With other electron apps, it depends. Some are easy, some are not. The notably difficult one is vscode, which handles its args itself, ignores (electron|chromium)-flags.conf and processes the cmd line flags only after the electron framework is initialized (thus the ozone flags having zero effect).

Apparently the Siemen's Sports Arena failure[1] was attributed to brittle failure in dowelled slotted-in-plate connections, which is also what they used for the steel-wood interface for this bridge.

>"... An overview of capacity models derived using the yield limit equations and following the European Yield Model (EYM) approach is provided in [20]. Major examples of structures collapse led by brittle failure in dowelled slotted-in-plate connections are the two trusses of the Siemens Sports Arena in Denmark [21] and the truss of the Perkolo bridge in Norway [22]. Uncertainty in the evaluation of connections' deformability is responsible for local damage in connections, and change of force transfer mechanisms compare to those considered in the design. ..."

> Lots of vent fans in houses tend to not actually vent anywhere, or they're covered up with insulation.

I do a lot of house repairs. I don't think I've ever seen a bathroom fan that goes outside except in mobile homes. They just vent into the attic. Same with many kitchen fans. They should all go to the outside otherwise they could cause moisture issues in the future.
The phones are nice, but I can't say I'm a fan of the company. They use Mediatek chipsets and are blatant GPL violators. The stock firmware is untrustworthy and if you want to run LineageOS you're in for a flaky time, at the mercy of random volunteers (whose work I nevertheless appreciate).
> seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river.

Probably. Android is getting locked down with remote attestation anyways. There's no point to it anymore, might as well choose the better tended walled garden.

Alternately there is the question of why Americans open accounts with the likes of Wells Fargo when you get better service from credit unions and regional banks.

I bought stock in a regional bank that went through the 2008 crisis with hardly any drop in stock price, pays solid dividends, has beat the pants off Goldman Sachs from the viewpoint of the investor, but they also do well by their customers, community and employees. It is like some people don’t know you have a choice.

It's also just, really damn effective. If you are ever having trouble squeezing one out on our antiquated and stupidly un-designed porcelain throne, get your legs higher so you are closer to squatting, and consider investing in a stool to put your feet on.

I agree in general, but disagree on the details. In an oral exam, a student answers questions orally. That's how language has evolved so far. I can't imagine a situation where a committee of professors would need to examine a granduate student's rectum to evaluate knowledge, so the "rectal exam" above is poorly named. To further advance linguistic evolution, "rectal exam" should be reserved for occasions when the student is required to pronounce words rectally in response to questions in his or her field of study.

That happens more often than you might think, plus it makes everything consistent.
These are code generators right? Right? With the usual code generation issues with debugging, verification, or long term maintenance?

Or they are workflow tools, sold with simple graphical demos of easy state machines / START -> box -> box -> box -> DONE flows, but when the rubber hits the road you encounter branching, loops, retries, subroutines, error codes, suspended/paused flows, state management, and full on turing machine processing.

Or they are AI tools, and you are relying on statistical probabilities that the code does what you want to, and statistical probabilities that the AI isn't producing the answer that looks right and the one you want versus the actual answer?

Or you are writing so much testing/quality control /verification that you might as well have coded in the first place?

Finally, you are invariably dealing with a vendor, and massive massive massive vendor lockin. Have fun when Oracle acquires them, triples the price, and audits you every other year.
> You asked it for a novel musical notation, and it gave you

Newp - I asked it for "a visually unusual musical notation that isn't just adding extra markup to traditional staff notation", or words to that effect, and it suggested something that met all the requirements I gave it. If you want to add more requirements you need to tell the chatbot, not me.
Excellent suggestions. Thank you for taking the time.

I’m looking to book somewhere in Pembrokeshire for this break on my own. Rural walks and a log fire in the evening will be nice.

Same thing in China. I keep telling my wife this is America, not China, use your American age. I think it's based on the Chinese (lunar) calendar rather than Jan 1, though.
"Configurable" is a manager-trap, just like low code. If something's configurable, you now need to forever test all the potential configurations, which always seems to become a combinatorial explosion of tests.
still very much open to feedback, especially when it comes to dev experience! We still expect the language to evolve both in features and the syntax. We were initially inspired by JSON and HCL (lang behind terraform) so I think that's what influenced us in the start.

In principle, yes, but as things stand you'll be starting 5 separate TLS connections to the server that way. My feeling is that this would be an unusual way to use serverless functions. Is it something you think you'd do?

At that point, the LLM is just a compiler, and your prompt becomes the "code".

I can easily imagine something like this taking off. After all it would be a giant step towards two things we have been trying since the 60s: a programming language intuitive enough that business people can use it, and a declarative approach where you describe what you want to achieve, not which steps to take.

That said, if all the current prompt engineering is anything to go by, using such an approach effectively might still require a lot of skill. But the barrier to entry would be a lot lower, and for some classes of problems it might be much more efficient in terms of programmer time.
And/or find a developer who makes your other developers better. I've been on many teams now where basic principles of establishing positive team dynamics are ignored so that people can gratify their insatiable egos.

> the transaction is identified with an ID which is returned to the Client and then included in further requests for the same transaction.

Yes, and there's a catch there that people might not notice: HTTP-based queries utilize this ID to identify which active transaction to use, but this is vulnerable to concurrent HTTP requests on the same transaction ID, thus allowing query injection (early COMMIT, SELECT sleep(1000000), etc. by attackers) due to requests being re-routed every time you send the query.

Keeping a direct connection (albeit proxied) to the PostgreSQL instance prevents this kind of attack, while also allowing for better state keeping control in systems that don't have access to raw TCP sockets, and reducing per-query overheads.

Yes we are using the same closed source hardware as 99% of people. Open source HW is ideal, but the options are currently very limited. I use rotating burner SIMs on occasions when I need cellular and never make calls with the SIM. The OS provides other SW mitigations for the HW such as no SW access to the device ID's, fine grained app firewall, and ability to turn off all cellular but enable WIFI.
Been using this for a little bit. Fascinated to see if this gets more traction now that it’s being pitched in this way and with all of the buzz of “ChatGPT is going to eat searches’ lunch”

Hi HN, we recently added live polls in Dory.app. Would love to hear your feedback, thanks!
I understand both perspectives.

On the one hand, in the same way any sort of fee (even $1) is a big impediment to adoption over free, so is the idea that "if I try this out and like it, I'll now be stuck with whatever costs they stick me with now and in the future". In a fast moving world, open source is just easier because if you change your mind, you haven't wasted money. In addition, there are only so many costs a project can afford and it is hard to know as it progresses where those will popup, so you avoid when you can.

That said, developers need to eat, and it is easy to appreciate the fact that they are letting you see the source, play with it, but pay if you want to use. I also fully support their right to license their software as they see fit.
I thought it was bunk as well, but there is a comment actually quoting an ADA building guide directly that confirms it:

The idea is to work out the maximum design limit, then add a factor of 2x or 4x to that to allow for things you can’t predict or model well. If the design is relying on some part of the above of the 2x to work, it’s not really a safety factor.

I’m a mechanical engineer and figuring out the appropriate strength a part needs, then making it twice as strong, is a common tactic. You can’t account for material differences, little casting voids, or just your math being off a little by the approximate methods we use to calculate stresses.
The more perfectly we can model and then repeatedly destructively test a part, the closer we can get to a safety factor of 1.
I wonder who owns the alfalfa farms because doing business in Utah is wild. There is absolutely no separation between business, government, and the church. It's like a single, hyper-efficient, hybrid organization. I spent a week there when one of my old startups was planning a data center in Utah (I'm dating myself). Being in the executive mansion felt like a corporate HQ. Nonstop stream of business people coming in and out of fast meetings with the Governor and his bizdev people. He was a nice guy, Gov Herbert was his name if I remember correctly. I remember at one point we couldn't find a conference room, and he was like, "use my office, end of the hall." I'm trying to imagine what level of capitalist you'd have to be at for Gavin Newsom or Cuomo to be loaning you their office unsupervised.
From what I understand, this will be possible in the future with implicit union types. Wouldn't work with _arbitrary_ types, but with a set of types that can be computed at compile time (my guess is that this is possible in most real-world cases).
