Show HN: HTMX real world application I'm building. No React needed (YouTube)
The goal of this video is to show you a real-world usage of HTMX and how you can build a complex web apps with it.

With HTMX you don't need to hire twice the programmers you need(frontend, backend). You just need full-stack devs, so you save the costs. And the speed of development is quite good.

The web app is still a work in progress. I started building this on November 23(22 days ago) with 0 knowledge of HTMX. First two weeks were tough, but then I adapted and learned the recipes of how to accomplish common tasks with this paradigm and now I feel very productive in it.

If you have some questions hit me on twitter https://twitter.com/alexblearns.

This sort of both-sidesing doesn’t further the conversation at all. Do you really think the person you’re replying to doesn’t know that mining Lithium isn’t without its environmental costs?

The person you’re replying to quite correctly notes that mining Lithium is an improvement over extracting coal, oil, and gas. The term “green” is so nebulous snd ill-defined that it’s not worth talking about.

The best thing humanity can do for the earth is clearly to remove ourselves from it. Anything less than that is compromise. Sure. But sitting here saying “there’s no such thing as ethical consumption” doesn’t really get us anywhere.

Precisely; it’s not big oil propaganda to understand the environmental effects of lithium mining, just as it’s not lithium propaganda to acknowledge the equivalent consequences of the oil industry on the environment.

But if we get to have a way to move at super-human speeds (ie > 5 km/h walking and > 30 km/h running), cheaply and without environmentally detrimental consequences, that’d be great :)

Have to be careful not to leak data in a crypto timing attack.

A good analogy of the problem would be: If one compared a long secure password one byte at a time and instantly returned an error upon failure of first match, it looks like a nice long password, but with an oscilloscope you could figure out the long password by repeatedly guessing one byte of the password at a time because each time you get one byte's worth correct, it fails a couple cycles later in the process. It "feels" like a 16 character string should be somewhat less than 2 * 128 bits of security (aside from normal looking text doesn't use all 8 bits per byte) but it would really only require on average 16 * 128 attempts to crack any 16 character password via this timing attack because on average you'd guess the next letter of the password every hundred or so attempts.

Obviously real attacks are more obscure, but anything that messes with control flow is worrisome.

Its theoretically possible to write code that would be secure on a "dumb" processor but under some kind of branch predicting out of order "smart" processor that might not even exist at the time the code is written, running the code might leak crypto data.

This can all be worked around at some effort.

> The information published is not constant: it is published only when a plane takes off or lands.

> the information is not a person's whereabouts - it is that of a vehicle

So would you be comfortable with someone publishing the location of your car every time you get in your car?

Of course the location of your car isn't public, only its ownership. But the location of your house is. So what if someone publishes every time someone enters or leaves your home? I think that would be a pretty dramatic violation of privacy.

> It could be argued that taking a flight in a private jet is just as much an example of what you term a public event as being at a sports event is, since private jets are required by law to broadcast their exact id and location whenever they are in flight.

No, because nobody is flying jets for an audience outside that jet. Except maybe at air shows and the like. It's the audience that makes it a public event, not the fact that it happens outside and is not secret.
That's still automated in the same way that a compiler is automated. A compiler doesn't remove the copyright, neither does a decompiler. This isn't different enough to have different copyright rules. There are more layers to the transformation, but it's still a program with input and output.
I'm not sure what you mean by "navigation of latent space". It's generating a model from copyrighted input and then using that model and more input to generate output. It's a machine transformation in more steps.
Its not that terrifying the way the these models work they aren't really creating new works, just taking other ones and basically copying them. Honestly, new laws for copyright have to be made I wonder when it will happen. And how the judical systems in the world will deal with it. Or if big tech has enough in the pockets to pretend it isn't an issue.

Brine extraction of lithium leaves some waste but largely uses solar power to operate and isn’t particularly invasive. Mining Spodumene is as bad as any other mining, and open pit mining is common. There’s some other techniques that use large amounts of highly concentrated acid. But it’s a really hard case to make that the oil economy is somehow a better environmental story for sure.
While I don't regularly play poker, I would have to agree with you (not sure why you're downvoted). If my oponents knew my thought process, they could use that against me.

The output is probably irrelevant here, the model itself is a derivative work from a copyright standpoint.

Going painting > raw photo (derivative work), raw photo > jpg (derivative work), jpg > model (derivative work), model > image (derivative work). At best you can make a fair use argument at that last step, but that falls apart if the resulting images harm the market for the original work.
If Elon uses this personal experience as an opportunity to reconsider how Twitter handles speech which is legal but poses a safety risk to an individual or group then I will commend him for finally maturing past the "free speech absolutist" position.

If he simply bans those who would cause him (or people he likes) harm but continue to allow and encourage "free speech" for those who would cause harm to others then that seems a bit hypocritical.
Many are like this.

FWIW, I have two HOAs where I live. The first deals just with my cluster of homes, which is about 40 townhomes. The second deals with the larger community, which is effectively a midsize town.

Between both my annual fees add up to about $1000. For this I get plowed streets, garbage pick up, and community area maintenance (including ample tennis courts, sports fields, pools, walking paths).

I have my own small front yard to maintain. And pay for utilities and exterior maintenance.

Some of the rules for paint colors and such-like are a bit draconian, but for an outer suburb, property values are pretty darn high and it’s a pleasant place to live. And nobody moves here without knowing what their getting into.

Also, despite the paint color rules, many homes do have “English garden” or other non-turf gardens. But, they’re well kept, not wild meadow.

> Well if that's the case then that's correct, fputc does operate on octets right?

That is what I would think obvious here, as it's generally how char-based functions operate, and doing CHAR_BITS IO would be a complete mess for portable IO (and would introduce ambiguities due to endianness).

Although technically what it says is:

> The fputc() function shall write the byte specified by c (converted to an unsigned char) to the output stream pointed to by stream

So if you have CHAR_BITS=16 and WORD_BIT=16 things get dicey. But indeed the easiest way to resolve the ambiguity is to assume that like everywhere else it only operates on the "minimum" char boundaries (an octet), and `int` is only used to allow or return `EOF`. This is what usually occurs in other char-based functions.

Though in all honesty I don't know how a platform with CHAR_BITS=16 handles `char*` / `char[]`.

If you believe the world would be notably different without any one individual in it, that's what you chose to believe, I see no evidence from history for that.

It's not about hosting, it's about discovery. If no one knows your content exists, no one will read it. At least on Medium you have an opportunity to be seen. Sure, if you already have a huge online presence, then you don't need that. But starting from zero you need some way for people to find you.

You can for example use Ghost to host your content, then syndicate it to Medium. But just sticking a website on the internet is pointless if no one will see it.
The problem all these sites have is that the domain starts as a signal of high quality — either because they are initially exclusive like Medium, or pay high-quality writers to move over. Over time, they regress to the mean and the domain becomes a signal of mediocrity.

I understand the need for things like substack to grow an audience, but I maintain that someone who really wants to run a blog for many years should own their audience.
being afraid is the best way to run away from what's coming. If a computer can easily do some work, simply use that work to your advantage, and do something more complicated. If a computer can generate art, use what's generated to your advantage and do something better.

As long as the world is not entirely made of AI, there will always be some expertise to add, so instead of being afraid, you should just evolve with your time

> But I can also see a deluge of mediocre “content” taking over the internet in the near future.

This has always been the case. Most entertainment regardless of form (music, art, tv, games...) is mediocre or below mediocre, with the occasional good or even rarer exceptional that we all buzz about.

AI image gen is only allowing a wider range of people to express their creativity. Just like every other tools that came before it lowered the bar of entry for new people to get in on the medium (computer graphics for example allowed those who had no talent for pen and paper to flourish).

Yes, there will be a lot of bad content, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

- employee "ownership". You can make your contract very similar to an employment contract (working hours, copyright ownership...) but most companies want "their own employees". It's a culture thing that I think is linked to perceived loyalty and subordination

- perks and benefits. Most companies think they are cool because they offer a lower salary but plenty of free lunch, gym membership, insurance... you can't put that in a contractor's contract
