it's also not a ton more work to pivot and turn the rails app with hotwire into an ios/android app with a minimal amount of work. and yeah you can also sprinkle react in if you need some component or two or even do the api that way and drop into a full SPA if you really need that. but at that point you are doubling the amount of work on the frontend for little gain in my view.

I liked the idea of react and have used it but i don't feel like it improves the situation enough for 95% of the sites out there to justify it and the enormous extra work there is in getting state/routing/etc to jive with the backend. I'm hoping strada, if it ever comes out, will be a large improvement to turbo native and at least provide a very compelling alternative react native.

I too would reach for the PETAL stack you mentioned. I don't code professionally anymore, but when I did I had experience using a lot of different languages (e.g., C#, Java, PHP, Ruby, Elm, Python, Perl, Lisp, Node, Clojure, F#, etc.). Elixir is by far the most productive and joyful language I've ever experienced. It's absolutely beautiful.
I think you're misunderstanding how the model works. It predicts next tokens based on past tokens and the LLM trained on large bodies of text. It doesn't have an underlying database of "factual" elements it incorporates or searches, and its output doesn't have an underlying semantic structure that can be verified or reasoned about. The entirety of the quality of its output can only be judged by whether it "sounds" like the rest of the text on which it was trained.

I think making the connection between the predictive output and an underlying representation of reality is the next great step, but until that happens, chatGPT's output is just amazing mimicry of human language.
A video older than “Me at the zoo” has been found
Fair use as a legal doctrine has significant practical problems - specifically, it's an open legal question with mind-bogglingly large sums of money at stake until and unless you get sued and spend six-figure sums in court to find out. Prudent risk management will forgo all sorts of activities that are clearly fair use under US law but happen to piss off large companies with expansive legal departments.
You must state also which kind of product you want to build
If one wants control over everything and manual memory management as safe as achievable (ie. systems programming), currently, this is the only (major) way.

IMO the market share for this profile is indeed small. Languages that trade off a part of that security for simplicity may have considerably more market share in the future, although on the other hand, the public may instead prefer a "fast-enough and dead-simple" language.
Dear $deity.

Apparently we will have to stop using phrases like "avoid this like the plague" ... because people like the author of this drivel seem to want to run headlong towards the plague. We need a better euphemism...
time will show he was right sadly. EV is a ponzi or at best a tool for the elite.
This is a great comment. Thank you! I’ve got nothing to add. It’s very sad, but that’s just how it is.
> Well, yes. If you don't actually build a real time application you won't get the benefits of a real time application

A rails application can be just as "real time" as any SPA, I don't think that definition really means anything. You get a distinct set of problems that come with SPA's that don't exist in a traditional server side rendered app that have nothing to do with how "real time" the app feels.
I'm sorry about your smolpeen.

ADHD is the same thing for many people. It’s an infant driven to distraction because of “problems in the environment”. Well maybe there are congenital cases, but there are others that aren’t, and there’s no money in the root cause analysis.
Any approach to mental health that doesn't involve an holistic component = understanding the more subtle dynamics of consciousness, is limited. Our understanding of health is only ever as complete as our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
Which makes sense considering "health" comes from Old English hǣlth, of Germanic origin, meaning "whole."

Mainstream healthcare is pretty ill-equipped when it comes to helping people with mental health because what's at stake is a lot more than atoms, it's learning how to be with one's self... Which is more the function of spiritual traditions and philosophies than it is the function of doctors. (Of course, sometimes there are extreme conditions where medication can be useful to limit harm. But most times I'd argue it simply covers up symptoms and prevents the person from actually growing from the experience.)
I believe by the time the processor has halted, the IP has advanced, so when the interrupt returns it will resume executing after the HLT. An infinite loop would resume executing the loop.
But "open source" is also a made up name, just like Cheerios. Nobody was using the term "open source" before it was deliberately created in Palo Alto. The fact that you thought you knew what it meant without being given a definition, and what you thought was incorrect, might be considered a weakness of the term. But it doesn't change the nature of the name.
Hmm, it looks like some ASCII characters are missing from the hard-coded alphabet here:
https://github.com/sjvasquez/handwriting-synthesis/blob/mast...

alphabet = [
'\x00', ' ', '!', '"', '#', "'", '(', ')', ',', '-', '.',
'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', ':', ';',
'?', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K',
'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'Y',
'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l',
'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x',
'y', 'z'
]

That seems to explain why it fails on capital X/Q and doesn't fail on lowercase x/q.
I find the "medical disclaimer" odd: https://www.lungy.app/medical-disclaimer

- To continue iterating through ideas, company need all saved resources, as nobody knows, how much need to achieve market fit.

But, when company will achieve some small market, and will have profit, will be totally different considerations. You will see exact target, and will be possible to save just what need to continue company work and to separate other resources.

Also important, will be measured company value.

Just now experienced expert will just count company balance (cash, equipment, debts, patents, agreements, etc), and could just divide value by shares, nothing more.
Depression is a result symptom of a human body fighting the anxiety of modern existence.

> transformative, just like a person would.

No, it is transformative just like a computer would. A person would be inspired and create some kind of unique work. A prompt would - given identical start-up conditions - result in the exact same image over and over again no matter who entered the prompt.

Even a trained monkey giving the prompt would result in the same output, as would 'thumper' or the closest local equivalent.

This is apparently the website for their "Protected Identity Harm Reporting System," including a form to submit reports: https://protectedidentityharm.stanford.edu/

That have a dashboard where they apparently made some of the reports public (but it doesn't look like it's automatically updated). This was was interesting:

https://protectedidentityharm.stanford.edu/news/cords-potent...:

> What happened:

> On the morning of Monday, November 29 a student reported seeing two long cords that may represent nooses in a tree near the intersection of Campus Drive and Junipero Serra Boulevard, along the Lake Lagunita walking trail.
What is being done:

> Updated as of 5/10/22

> Based on statements from staff and students, and photos showing the scene at Lake Lagunita, it was determined the cords in the tree had been in that location for several years prior to it being reported to DPS. Photos showed the cords in the tree dating back to at least June 2017. Separately, a former student reached out reporting their recollection that a rope swing used to be in that location. DPS closed the case on December 6, 2021, and the incident was not classified as a crime.

> Updated as of 11/30/21

> A student reported the cords to the Dean of Students Office early this morning. The Office immediately contacted the Stanford University Department of Public Safety (DPS), which promptly investigated the incident with a campus arborist. Based on weathering and tree growth around the cords, it seems that the cords had been attached to the tree for approximately 18-24 months. We cannot be certain whether the ropes were deliberately fashioned in the shape of nooses, or were part of an abandoned swing or rope ladder.

> The Dean of Students Office has connected with the student via telephone and email and will continue offering support.

If you want to talk about “ability to read the room”, correct terminology to use (recognised by researchers) is “social cognition”, “theory of mind”, “nonverbal communication” - unlike those terms, “emotional intelligence” is a fringe theory which has failed to win acceptance
We’ve known for over a decade there is no such thing as an imbalance. Anyone who bothered to read the primary research would find this out.

This is similar to my formative years. At 5 1/2, moved to a new city. Was bullied as the outsider foreigner kid until around 12 when we moved to another city. Was bullied again as the outsider foreigner kid.

I turned into a depressed, "emo", grumpy kid around 8-12 and that became an angry, misunderstood kid after the second move. It has been decades since that time, but I am doing better now.

Being depressed, moody, overly serious, is my default now. I've learned to work past it like you've described, change my outlook. It still sucks having a default downer attitude in my head though. Still more work to go.

My parents and siblings were always perplexed by this. To this day, they still think nothing is wrong with how it all went down. I was just a "problem kid". That worked for them, problem kid was a convenient scape-goat for all the other familial difficulties we had going on.

If I ever have kids, I'll do my best to not disrupt their lives the way mine was. Hopefully, I'll be a lot more attuned to make sure they're dealing with social pressures better than I did. No one needs to live the way I lived, it's not mentally healthy.
Pretty much. Some things to ease the process are to make the questions asked specific as possible (no good if the question can be ambiguous sort of in the end), and to have feedback (plus initial training to help people understand to make calibrated predictions). Feedback is important, so people get better at guessing over time.

I don't understand why you think this is a good counterexample. Google is still trademarked. If I make a search engine and say, "You can use my search engine to Google things," I'm probably in the wrong both legally and ethically.
Dockerized applications can still reach services on the localhost, but you may want to take a look at docker compose so you get your application and backing systems in one place.

Far-right "conservative" activists use work phones to plot to overthrow government. They fail, and get caught.

Rational solution: investigate, and proceed with normal criminal process if appropriate, to deter future such behavior.

Far-right "conservative" solution: ban long-term retention of communications data so that future far-right attempts to overthrow the government can't be prosecuted.

You really can't make this up.

The start-up I work for uses Phoenix and Elixir. I've been there around two years now and we haven't experienced any issues with hiring or finding skilled people. If anything, I'd point to Elixir as being one of the major factors of our success.

OK, I see now that fly.io uses Firecracker, not Docker (thanks for the catch!). And I see that flyio (and AWS App Runner) have updated their docs regarding PCI and HIPAA, as well, since I last looked at their site. Pretty smart actually.

By the same token, I think this reinforces the point that Docker itself is not considered PCI Compliant, unless we are simply treating it's config files as a DSL. And in that case, if you want PCI Compliance and go with the Docker DSL, then you are locked into providers that offer this same "transmorgification" from Docker to Firecracker.

Happy to hear that there are still other Capistrano users out there! I will push up my config later today.

Ask HN: Will ChatGPT and its near future upgrades replace some scripting work?
Hi friends,

I think ChatGPT is pretty convincing when asked to generate an Airflow DAG that queries a date partition of a Google BigQuery table and checks if it has 24 unique values for a column in that partition.

It generates some code that by a glance can immediately put into Pycharm and execute without much modification. I then up the difficulty by asking for another task that fetches a secret from Google Bucket and use it to query an API and store the result into a BigQuery table. It surprisingly writes some good code that I can modify and use. Of course it doesn't know exactly know what data I need and which table to store, but the boilerplate part is pretty robust.

This leads to think that once we can feed ChatGPT with some conditions (for example feed it with some sample code in production), we might be able to develop rather quickly. It's not going to replace programmers for sure, but will accelerate a lot of mudane tasks -- and most tasks are indeed repetitive and mudane.
Woah that one’s great - saving that to my personal list! The fun thing about this is the source material is constantly being added to so it’s pretty damn near a never ending list. Still get some repeats though, I’ll look into reducing that when I have time

10 years optimistic but PRC in position to create indigenous semi supply chain. After elevating semi to first-level dicipline in 2018, PRC is spitting out 30k IC graduates per year. They're still about 200k short, ~520k/720k out of what IC talent white paper estimates PRC needed for semi industry. I wadger that's comparable to total direct semi industry talent globally, which is really effort from a handful of countries (NL,US,JP,DE) in hardware industry that historically got 2nd pick on talent due to how well software pays. Would take less than 20-30 years to catchup especially if industrial policy mitigates commercialization concerns. It won't be easy but feasible especially if PRC indigenization starts taking domestic shares and take revenue/R&D stream western incubants who has to boost subsidy to plug loss.

Ehhh... the judge's patience for that kind of thing is not unlimited. At some point they're going to reopen the inquiry about counsel (there's also the issue that an AI probably can't be your counsel of record, since it hasn't passed the bar; more likely the court would view it as you representing yourself with the assistance of research software).

BREAK BREAK

My jurisdiction (the military justice system) is a bit of an oddball, but I generally (softly) disagree with your last paragraph.

In jurisdictions with good criminal justice systems, most cases don't take that long to review. Possession of marijuana case, the officer stopped you for a broken taillight, smelled or claimed to smell marijuana, asked you if it was okay if he takes a look. You said okay. He finds a tiny amount of a green leafy substance in a small plastic bag. He says, "Hey look, marijuana is not that big a deal but lots of this stuff is laced with other things. This is just marijuana, right?" and you respond "Yes, sir, just marijuana, I don't mess with any real drugs." Prosecution is offering a diversion deal with probation and no permanent criminal record.

The correct answer in that case is to take the deal. We are not going to win by arguing that Raich was wrongly decided or that the officer lied about smelling it (because we're probably talking state court, so Raich doesn't matter, and you consented to the search, so the pretext, even if it was pretextual, also doesn't matter). We also aren't going to win attacking the chain of evidence, because the drug lab results don't matter, because you admitted it's marijuana.

In that case, yes, I'm going to take all of about 4 minutes to strongly advise the client to take the deal.
Me too, that's how I learned to take my honest time estimate and always multiply it by \pi.
Rails and React are doing completely different things in the stack; I don't understand this argument (having worked with both, but never getting good at Rails)

React is purely about managing the frontend and user interactions. Many apps are very heavy on this. For a lot of things I've built, I think Rails would have been overkill. Even for ones that use a database, I find node.js/express/prisma much easier to work with (until you get into migrations). Activerecord's story around migrations is the best I've used.

But for an MVP you don't really need to worry about that.
I wonder if this is doing more harm than good. People who pay attention and care get depressed hearing how close we are to disaster. People who don’t are oblivious.

Wouldn’t it be far better to list the top three things we could do to lessen the chance of catastrophe? Those would change now and then but it’d be forward looking and actionable rather than doom inspiring.
Of course there will be by 2030. People still don’t understand technology curves?
