JSON-like data structures do not necessary require a stack automaton for parsing. Moreover they don't necessarily require any parsing at all.

E.g. I've implemented a simple indexed binary format for JSON-like data: https://github.com/7mind/sick

The problems with JSON-RPC are mostly in its design, it's not ergonomic and its type system is a joke.

There are many better alternatives ranging from gRPC (still not ergonomic and not modular) to Protoforce (extremely powerful and ergonomic but only marginally adopted).
That's true. Will this policy not have any impact?

Few things.

About #1 there's Win32 API, MFC, WinForms, GTK, Qt, Swing and all do UI and thousands of applications are built with far more state and complex UIs than a normal SaaS, price comparison portal or a booking website ever could imagine - but none of those technologies are ascomplex, as bloated and as fragile as modern frontend stack has become.

Second - Backend complexity, Kubernetes isn't Backend precisely, async Queues are unavoidable but these Microservices are basically an anti pattern driven by greed to land the next Job and hence insistence on using different programming languages per team/indivual etc. Now a cottage industry in it's own right with it's own self proclaimed scholars whereas it is just and exactly the domain of distributed system already.

If that constraint of per team programming language of choice is removed or languages interoperate with zero configuration, 98% of the companies need just well maintained internal libraries.
I plan to work more on API Bakery [0], my project generator service.

The thing works but looks and feels barebones, and I also need to focus more on marketing (which, as a techie, is a thing I avoid the most).

I also plan to get more hands-on experience with the current state of the art AI - probably more prompt-engineering level than pytorch level, but I do like to dive in so who knows.

That's not comparable to posting messages on public websites that can be read by anyone without an account. You don't know who will read them.

If you want to talk privately - talk to people that you trust and use apps like Signal that delete messages after some time.
Yeah exactly, two examples that immediately come to mind during my lifetime are My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade (the song more than the album) and Green Day - American Idiot. At the time they were released, many people saw them as emo-pop dreck, a complete departure from "real" punk-rock music of the 80s and 90s into something far too watered down and palatable for the masses. Now if you look at YouTube comment sections for those songs, it's full of people wistfully remembering the good ol' days when people played real music with real instruments.

Hell, even Limp Bizkit, Limp fucking Bizkit, has been widely retconned into being a charmingly nostalgic relic of music at the turn of the millennium instead of just, you know... bad.

A study in 2022 saying that most people say music from before 2010 was better is meaningless, because a study in 2032 will show that music from before 2020 was better.

I'm planning on transforming allergy care.

There's no reason for you to be allergic to things. The way we treat allergies today, with antihistamines and nasal spray doesn't solve the underlying problem; it just tries to cover it up. Accessible allergy immunotherapy is the future. And in the future, taking antihistamines for allergies is going to seem like taking a painkiller for an ear infection. Why would you treat the symptoms when you could treat the root cause?

REST is an RPC?
I think it is allowed. See all my examples :)

It’s just super unlikely that any of us will get to see the early versions. When something is repeated hundreds of times, being there for the first one is pretty rare.

Especially when you consider that the versions that didn’t work get killed quickly whereas the things that worked get repeated lots.
I think it's actually even worse than that. You're suggesting that people accept a lesser taste in exchange for the other benefits. As if this is a conscious decision.

I think people don't really taste with any attention at all. They eat in a rush, preoccupied, and the ingredients may be mashed together into some mix. As long as something isn't incredibly off, they'll not consider it a "lesser" taste, this is just how a strawberry tastes.

...until you take the time to demonstrate the vastly superior taste.

Ask HN: Optimal Setup for Home ML
Stable diffusion is awesome. I've been inspired to start hacking on ML stuffs and I'm having tons of fun just using it for making images. My m1 is ooookay at it - but it's time to upgrade.

I could drop a bunch on a 3090 and call it a day, but I really don't need to be gaming and anyhow looking at passmark(1) it seems like I could get more throughput / $ with an array of cheaper cards and a box that'll take more cards...

..Which leads to some questions, because I'm kind of ignorant.

- What metric should I be looking at for running ML pipelines? Performance(1)? GPU Compute(2)? Should I just go for the most memory / dollar?

- Are there other considerations (tensor cores etc) that go into this? It looks like the GTX series doesn't have em, so I'm assuming those are a no-go.

- Is there a reason to prefer Radeon or Geforce over the other?

- Do all the cards have to be the same, or can I just get whatever is handy at the moment and put em all in together?

- How much do I care about the CPU? This box will be doing nothing but running ML pipes.

- Finally, would I be better off saving up for an A30 or some such (in terms of power / price)?

Reading up on (3), I gather that I'll need the cards to be single-slot with SLI or Crossfire, and a big beefy power supply, along with an ATX board with four slots.

The plan is to have this thing running as a server in a closet, so I can send it jobs from the laptop. No reason IMO to bother with a monitor or other such if I don't have to.

Because JSON and RPC are two separate standards and don't need to be intermingled into a combined standard. It's relatively easy for clients to adapt to any JSON interface when integrating.
I agree with GP that foreign buyers are mostly a scapegoat, but unlike GP, I do believe zoning is the main issue. Giving zoning power to local politics will always end up with the same issue. Rich homeowners voting for board members who pass laws which limit supply, resulting in the value of their assets going up. It's the same issue all over the world. Single detached houses do not belong in cities.

No need to look to the future: this has been going on for a long time and is pretty common. Even though case law has built up, to my understanding it still gets pretty messy.
A "function" is a "function" if it always returns the same result for the same arguments, right?

Now I'm trying to wrap my head around how can I call a function which takes no arguments but which returns a value the user entered on the keyboard? How can I write a function which returns the current mouse-position on the screen, while still abiding by the functional principle of same result for same arguments always?

Can it be done? If not can we still call it "functional"?

The question is how many sales will it actually forbid? If the sales (or bids) that push the prices up are coming from people who will be banned, maybe prices will be depressed a lot. If they’re coming from Canadians who have good jobs and a bunch of cash and won’t be forbidden then maybe prices won’t be affected much.

> REST positioned itself in opposition to RPC.

Whatever some people say, REST is a form of an RPC. If someone wants to object, they should think again and again and again.
I think it transitioned from being targeted at relative rank to being targeted at mastery over the years, just not everyone reviewing resumes has shifted at the same time.
Pros:

- Allows you to see your growth over time.

- Gives you a "proof of work" so others can validate claims you make.

- Creates higher likelihood for opportunities as people stumble upon something that resonates with them/their business.

- Allows you to really hone your craft as you can "compete with yourself" by reflecting on past work and seeing what feels off now.

Cons:

- You can get down on yourself if you look back on something you feel is "cringe" or a poor representation of who you are today.

- It's easier for people to take swings and discourage you. Backhanded compliments, outright dismissals, etc, while not common, do happen more (i.e., broader attack surface).

- It's easier for things to bite you later. Something you said years before either out of frustration or jest-that no longer represents your views but you don't want to delete for posterity sake-becomes someones whole perception of who you are.

- It's not uncommon for people to think they have you figured out based on your writing. This can be frustrating as you hear/read them parroting things you've written almost verbatim in an attempt to manipulate you. This one is a real edge case and rare in my experience but it's worth being aware of cluster B personality types using your writing as a weapon later.

How to manage:

- Be conscious of what you're writing, how it can be interpreted/misinterpreted.

- Slow down. Don't "think aloud" out of frustration or anger. I've found it helps to write stuff in a silo like a text doc first and then copy/paste it once I've read it a few times (avoids really nasty flame wars).

- Don't think you have to write everything down. If you build a habit around thinking in public, you can get into a trap where you feel burdened to explain everything you think/do.

- Depend on your goals: ask others for feedback. I've had mixed results with this, but YMMV.
Not to mention with the HTTP based RPC you can get some contextual freebies with the call like a token in a header and/or cookies. You can use all of that before parsing a single byte of the JSON.

Blogging has positive in that it’s been very motivating for me to complete and share a couple projects that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered with.

But it’s also humbling, because if you’re not exceptional or writing about topics that most people find interesting, you’re not going to get much of a reception.

I nuked the reddit account I used for sharing posts and I'm planning to archive my blog after I write up a couple topics but it was a worthwhile experience overall.

It actually is a technical hurdle because not a lot of academic research is being done on it for commercial growers to use. You see some papers out there that cover things like yield per light spectrum or what soil ammendments do for terpene content, but they all come out of Canada and specifically McGill. It's like U.S. researchers are blackballed by their institutions or maybe their grant funding agencies. As such, techniques like plant tissue culture that are commonly done with other crops and expensive ornamentals in the U.S. are rarely done with cannabis because growers that do these techniques are often tight lipped about things such as the most ideal media composition or really anything else related to methodology.

Meanwhile with crops such as corn, you have entire land grant universities planting test crops as we speak and biology departments dedicated to maize genetics, and thats true for almost every other large commercial crop. Billions are spent on research by the federal and state governments. Agriculture takes advantage of all of this research and development when producing commercial crops, but none of this investment is being made for cannabis and when it is done by these private companies they are not proliferating their findings.
I really don't understand why governments around the globe just throw their hands in the air and pretend housing is an unsolvable problem for which they have no obligation to fix.

It wasn't always like this - in 1922 in Australia we realised there was a shortage of 25,000 homes, so they just made it happen [1]. Why are we so impotent today? Do we just not care enough? Are the vested interests too powerful?

I don't know what groceries to order for food delivery.

I "just" want the healthy-ish person's food list with deep links into grocery apps (Instacart, Walmart, Amazon, etc) and autopopulate it. No different than how I can follow people's song choices on Spotify. What did you last order, I want to order it too. Publicly broadcast, public, private, all optional.

There are tons of apps for "sharing grocery lists", but between a tiny group of people or roommates. And one or two that will let you take a single recipe and get the ingredients into one grocery delivery service ("Tasty" recipe to Walmart, for example). They all require you knowing what you want already, and I don't know. I want to change my diet to different food, I'm fine not learning how to do that.

I think this problem is overlooked, and frankly invalidated. I don't want to be a recipe enthusiast and I don't care that other people enjoy running around a grocery store in fetch quests as half of the fun in cooking, or that other people don't like how the food delivery person chose the wrong fruit. These aren't important issues to me, and I think there are lots of people like me, although I haven't bothered to quantify this!

So that's decent alpha because I think a lot of people are in similar boats and with this kind of data you could totally elevate a single product for mass purchasing when everyone is buying the same ingredient over food delivery. People that are already fine paying hidden premiums for food delivery.

I don't think you understood what GP meant, so i will try to formulate it in another way:

A: People who want to live in a city need housing and are ready to either 1: pay X/month (rent) or 2: buy the house.

B: This law do not create new unit to be rented or bought, and do not do anything for the cities attractiveness, IE the migratory trend will stay the same

C: The renting price is complex and while location and regulation do have an effect, the price is based on supply and demand, not on "how much did you pay for this house" (unless you have rent limits in canada).

D: The buying price is complex but also half based on the renting price. I think AirBNB jacked things up, and we now see housing as a commodity so the number could be higher, but when i was a kid the common sense was: monthly rent * 12 * 20 > house price: buy, else don't.

If A,B, C and D are all true, then i don't see how this law can change prices. If i'm wrong on any point, it might.
The problem is that many progressives don’t see raising children and making a home as having a career. I’m not advocating that we delete progress and steal careers and opportunities from women. Rather, it should be a socially acceptable option to be a homemaker (regardless of your gender). But this intense push to have dual income households and 50:50 women:men STEM ratios seems absurdly unrealistic to me when you factor in biology and humanity. Furthermore, who’s going to perform childcare in a society where caring for children is not a respectable pursuit? Who’s going to care for power couples‘ kids without income inequality? Robots?

I think the way you spin history is somewhat unfair to men. A “career” is not an “opportunity” to most men I know. It’s a requirement. It’s long hard days of stress and labor. Some of us are lucky and rather enjoy our labor, but it’s labor nonetheless. Just like making a home. You say women were restricted, and certainly that was true for certain paths, but I also suspect previous generations enjoyed societies where women were happy in large part because they were not being told that they needed to be like the men to be happy/valuable. Personally, I would adore the opportunity to be a homemaker, but alas that opportunity is not available to me. It cuts both ways.

Anyway, my main point is, irrespective of gender, dual income households are not a positive status quo and it sucks trying to plan a family around two people needing to work. It’s not fair to children who deserve more attention than day care. And it’s not fair to all the homemakers out there who are honestly some of the most valuable people we have. And importantly, it doesn't achieve the replacement rate so it’s ultimately a losing strategy details be damned. We need to figure out how to affirmatively value homemaking so it can be regarded on the same level as a career. And I suspect if we can do that, birthrates will go up.
Obviously it wanted to die as profitable a death as possible so there will be an incentive to add more of its brethren in death!
> Because consumers in the US buy on size and appearance and not taste.

They buy on size and appearance signals that, within familiar varieties, correlate very strongly with taste, because you can't taste offerings in the store to choose which to buy.

This is then exploited by the commercial supply chain in a way which proves Goodhart’s Law.
