> It is uncanny how much this mimics my own experience.

A significant amount of people damaged exactly like that run around. It‘s nothing noteworthy nor exceptional. And there is no recognized cure for us.

My pet theory is that through either nature or nurture, we are permanently damaged individuals that won‘t ever experience what we perceive as the normal, healthy social life and mental states. Our brains are permanently altered to our detriment.

Connecting to your anecdote: I am 30 and my mom still mentions what a lively and happy child I was. I wish she wouldn‘t, because it hurts to hear about the potential I squandered, lost or had stolen.
That's not how businesses process payment. Any responsible finance department will call a hard no on that. (And from a consumer side, asking to pay with a gift card is usually a huge red flag that a scam is incoming)
Most people in this thread are not suggesting a stack for an mvp. They’re just listing their favorite stacks, that’s it.

There’s a comment of somebody saying that just Postgres and Go. How on earth is that a good stack for building an mvp?? You’ll have to write a shit ton of code or glue together 10 thousand libraries.
This makes zero sense.

> The advantages start popping up when multiple DMVs are using the same ledger; they don't have to trust each other, yet can still read and write records.

What do you mean different DMVs don’t have to trust each other? If California DMV can’t trust data written by Nevada DMV, what’s the point of writing it in the first place?

> The end game would be for state DMVs, international DMVs, and even private entities to be able to share information on a vehicle and its history - think CarFax, but much broader in scope and without some corporation acting as a middleman.

Okay, but who is responsible for verifying all of the data coming in from random 3rd parties? If you wanna get a good deal on a used car being sold, just submit a fake entry about it having been totaled in an accident. Instant discount!

And not to mention all of the PII that’s core to DMV’s operations that can’t be public, so it can’t be on a public blockchain anyway.
Yes, apologies for not clarifying that in the post.
Really, are you sure?
You don't need to learn attractiveness from that man, you need to learn time and relationship management.
Ask HN: Is anyone else still using Rails+Capistrano?
It seems like you hear about a new, automated, Heroku-like alternatives for deploying Rails every other week, while Capistrano themed posts simply mention it's decline.

However, I still like Capistrano, not just because it was the first deployment tool I used, but for its simplicity (SSH deploys), portability (you can use it with any cloud host), and smaller attack footprint.

In fact, I like capistrano so much, that I have even got load balancing and auto-scaling enabled for several projects via the elbas gem on AWS.

Is anyone else out there still using Capistrano? And if so, would there be interest in sharing configuration files?
I'm not unhappy about anything in particular. Superbase is fantastic and many of the upcoming things are things that I'm excited about.

It's just that something I plan to work on for a long time, with lots of people, and that will have lots of business and scaling complexity, I prefer to run my own simple stack so I have full control and don't find myself waiting on someone else's roadmap for a feature I desperately need.

I've been learning video streaming tech for the last year (ffmpeg, webrtc, all the great videos available of SF Video Technology - https://www.youtube.com/@SFVideoTechnology) and I haven't been able to come up with a remotely interesting product idea. When I came across this, I thought it was the most clever SaaS video tech I've seen in a while. I'm probably dating myself but I'm certain TokBox had something similar 10 years ago. In whichever flavor markee is doing this, it was a refreshing idea to see.

I have no affiliation to this product or engineering team.

Even if that becomes the case, this is some how worse than what we have now?

>raise the cost of a defense

Highly doubtful

> you need a lawyer-backed-by-a-firm-with-a-LLM to be competitive at trial - making all existing problems even worse.

First, most things don't go to trial so you're completely missing the cost savings associated with avoiding trial because of these types of AI assisted scenarios.

Second, the cost associated with training models will go down. The cost of a Harvard law degree has ... never gone down.
If we read between the lines this means someone actually preferred to write a pipeline delay slot implementation for MIPS1 for LLVM instead of using gccrs.
ChatGPT has no concept of a model for code, no understanding of syntax or logic or even language keywords. It just pulls info out of it's backside that sounds believable like a lot of people do, it's just better at it. I suspect the immediate future will be resplendent with tales of AI-generated code causing catastrophes.
djangox definitely looks a bit less opinionated and lighter weight than what I normally use for a starter project, which is cookiecutter-django: https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django

It seems to include most everything that djangox does, and a little bit more, and with cookiecutter's setup process, you can strip out much of what you don't want/need.
The fact that PHP stands at 78% and Javascript stands at 2% in the report is counterintuitive. This anomaly might be caused by all the Wordpress sites that are out there, if so, readers should not use this report to steer their career.
We recently moved all our projects to Node. Few thoughts -

1. The TypeScript tooling with Node has improved tremendously. Frameworks like Nest make it simple to work with it.

2. There are some really good frameworks that, over the years, have remained simple and just work. Example - Express, Sequelize, etc.

3. Same developer can make changes on both the frontend and backend since the language on both sides is TypeScript now. That simplifies building features as less coordination is required for full feature development.

4. Deploying Node apps is overall simpler. Be it VMs, containers, or serverless. Horizontal scaling is cheap, and most applications don't need much processing optimizations there.
I hate this type of story, mostly because nobody has any clue as to what is actually happening, leading people to draw a divisive conclusion about either "cancel culture being out of control" or "soft liberal snowflakes acting like fascists." It's like it's tailor made to stoke these stupid culture wars.

The linked article at "thefire.org" has a statement by the Rabbi about the incident which makes it seem like they're condemning reading Mein Kampf.

But then according to this article:

https://www.thecollegefix.com/stanford-student-reported-for-...

That same Rabbi clarifies that they don't want anything banned and people should obviously be allowed to read whatever books they like. End of controversy, lol.

OR IS IT?

Because then we have a tweet of a post by an anonymous source (not exactly a primary source lol) on another platform (fizz?) claiming the photo of the girls reading the book was part of a costume, and the controversy comes from that -- not merely reading a book.

https://twitter.com/barrydeutsch/status/1618697230382399488

It's just a quagmire of stupid and people jumping to conclusions. We can't see the photo, or even a good description of what it is, and nobody seems to want to ban books like other people are claiming.

OBVIOUSLY reading fascist and overall terrible publications "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", "Mein Kampf", etc. are important for understanding how the holocaust occurred and propaganda in general. I even read them as a curious teenager and came away with the impression that Hitler was a boring, weird, hateful little man. They don't just radicalize people on their own.

We don't know what is happening here. If it ends up being a snapchat with a super offensive title like "learning how to exterminate the jews with my girlies!" then mystery solved. And if not, then it should get followed and picked up by the ACLU and other civil liberties orgs. But for fucks sake lets not start picking culture war sides before we've even seen the photo or a complete description of it lol.

https://scipipe.org - A pipeline tool for shell commands by a declarative flow-based API in Go

Github link: https://github.com/scipipe/scipipe

There are many pipeline tools for shell commands, but a majority has one or more limitations in their API which makes certain complex pipelines impossible or really hard to write.

We were pushing the limits of all the tools we tried, so developed our own, and implemented it in Go, with a declarative API for defining the data flow dependencies, instead of inventing yet another DSL. This has allowed us great flexibility in developing also complex pipelines, e.g. combining parameter sweeps nested with cross-validation implemented as workflow constructs.

SciPipe is also unique in providing an audit report for every single output of the workflow, in a structured JSON format. A helper tool allows converting these reports to either an HTML report, a PDF, or a Bash script that will generate the one accompanying output file from scratch.

An extra cool things is that, because the audit reports live alongside output files, if you run a scipipe workflow that uses files generated by another scipipe workflow, it will pick up also all the history for the input files generated by this earlier workflow, meaning that you get a 100% complete audit report, even if your analysis spans multiple workflows!

(More on the audit/provenance report in this post: https://rillabs.com/posts/provenance-reports-in-scientific-w... )

>Is anyone alleging that Baldwin loaded the gun with live ammo that he pulled off his own belt?

Yes, though it is a small minority and seems mostly like some sort of conspiracy theory.

> Every account I've read has the armorer loading it. Curious to read other versions though.

The thought is that Baldwin did load the real bullets because there was all the drama going on with the crew walkout so he killed a person he thought was involved. It seems a bit out there, but that is why we need to understand why he had real bullets. As far as I know he had no need to be in possession of them during the shooting.

The FAQ doesn't cover "how does this differ from lua", but overview contains the disclaimer:

> not all Lua features are implemented yet. Most of the dynamic parts, such as tables and handling dynamic types at runtime

It has coroutines to some extent

> At the moment Nelua does not support variable arguments in yield and resume (unlikely Lua).

It also extends lua primitives - lots of control flow things, arrays and records which look like tables but are passed by value, not by reference.

So it's an ahead of time statically typed language which looks somewhat like lua. Compiled to C, no interpreter. It says it's meta-programmable using lua which I assume is really confusing given the two languages look similar and behave differently.
What about software like Nextcloud, Mediawiki etc. built with PHP? They seem to be doing well.
Good gravy. Thanks for the link. What a read.
It's foreign state media that's been caught falsifying footage and known to have intelligence assets from both the UK and US working there. Even British people occasionally complain about partisanship. You can call me as many names and grandstand about their nonexistent "journalistic integrity". Doesn't change the facts.
You can definitely choose to interpret it that way, but you don't have to.
Handwriting simulator, yes.

Calligraphy? Not quite. I'll still be paying someone to address my daughter's wedding invitations, I expect.

Unless she elopes, that is (one can hope).
The average user does not have to do anything. Their computer will already be set up in their preferred language and web sites should respect this. The HTML lang tag and hreflang tags further lets developers tell search engines the language of the pages, which search engines use to find the correct page to display. Developers shouldn't try to be smart and force change the language after that. AliExpress is the worst offender of all.
> Doesn't bother to point out what part of it was a lie (because it isn't a lie)

This "constantly being at risk of losing your life savings due to phishing, scamming, hacking, etc." is a lie. There is no inherent property of Bitcoin that makes you vulnerable to these. Any vulnerability in those regards is an individual issue, just like with the current system. You could mitigate those away with paid services under a Bitcoin standard (which is great because you could actually pick the vendor you thought could do the job best).

> Welcome to the future of finance, make sure you don't lose your seed phrases written down on paper (it's the future, trust me bro)

> Contradicts saying that I was lying that you can lose your life savings due to phishing, scamming, or hacking, and that if you lose your seed phrases and can't access the wallet then your digital doubloons are gone forever

Fair enough. This is where an exchange comes in. You still have the option to trust a third-party to hold your Bitcoin if you wish. But of course, that comes with its own risks, just like trusting a bank (which can only ever guarantee up to $250K worth of your money under FDIC).
After moving from UK to Switzerland I was missing Amazon until I discovered galaxus/digitech. It’s great and feels so much faster, amazon has tons of clutter and dishonest reviews. Historic price is awesome, the whole thing is just much more honest.
> This still doesn't give you standing to speak on behalf of artists

Sure. That's why I don't speak on their behalf. I'm just voicing my opinion about harmful silliness of the scheme they allowed themselves to be coaxed into.

> It continues to ignore the key people that matter: the individuals with the creativity and skills to create the content that started this whole IP conundrum in the first place.

Silently ignored in lawyers arguments are all the consumers of culture. All the people who wrote the prompts and all the people who drew great joy from looking at AI creation. They'd get literally nothing if the case of strict copyright so their collective loss is great because they are many.

> But I'd argue that you are deeply misinterpreting the implications of that reality, and imposing your own definition of value on a category of human expression that is by definition deeply subjective and far more complex than a simple formula of exposure and conversion rate with some resulting monetary return.

Sure, opinions may vary. Only actual data can resolve who's wrong. And the number for compensation of artists in copyright industry are not great when compared to viral gains from attention based, open economy.

> If someone else starts making money on my work, it takes on a different meaning entirely.

If you haven't lost anything why do you care? Why do you want to devoid others of joy they draw from availability of artwork?

> Regarding prompts, how is attribution built in? Nothing requires an individual to reveal their prompts, currently.

It's the internet. People talk. Nothing stays secret. And at any point in time original artist or their fan can chip in and say, "yeah, that's exactly like mine, see?". And no-one can do anything about it.

> When video game companies use stolen artwork, they are ridiculed and derided for blatantly profiting from the work of individuals. Even if it was an honest mistake, this kind of misuse is always a headline.

Yeah. Using AI artwork in a very specific style would generate same kind of news. And those games are not very good and they don't make much money. So not only there's no harm, severe ostracism. There's also not much opportunity to have any gain if copyright was strictly observed. And as you noticed it already happens. Darkest Dungeon had very fresh and attractive art-style. Now it's very easy to randomly encounter in Play Store cheap clicker games blatantly ripping off that esthetics. It's not directly stolen, but it's pretty much what AI would do if someone was hell bent on replicating the esthetics. Yet humans did it. What's the loss to Darkest Dungeon graphic designer? Exactly zero.

And I think games that would start with AI art and got really popular ... they'd invite original artist for DLC or to get on the news or for just good will of the public. Public relationships is very important when selling games.
> So much, that we have the same words for "going on a date" and "hanging out".

Sounds like something that would cause a lot of misunderstandings. How often is that a plot device in sitcoms?
I'm still working my way through the article but one of the things that jumped out for has been about the armour.

I was lucky enough to be an extra in the first set of Lord of the Rings movies and (at least for the chain mail) the armour they produced was "real". As in, people actually made A LOT of chainmail out of interlinked rings for the production. The way he's mentioned scale mail not correctly hanging on the body wouldn't have been an issue where chain was used in the first few movies (although I'll admit they probably made it out of a lighter material then real chain, it was still quite heavy however)

The other armour used was made from real metal (aluminium maybe?) if you were close to the camera (termed "Hero" armour) and if you were further back it was a softer sort of plastic. In particular the Helms Deep elf costumes had this plastic armour as a sort of skirt and we were constantly getting in trouble for sitting on it and bending it out of shape.
I hope this counts as original content I created...
One can imagine many things, but that's not what happened here.

Your comment is confirmation (to me) that FIRE's headline & article are misleading. The article is making you think of someone "minding their own business" reading a book and getting in trouble. In fact, we don't know whether any reading occurred.

Someone's in trouble for (seeming too, details are unclear) using Mein Kampf as a prop in a social media post.

I'm disappointed in FIRE for going the misleading clickbait route here, I generally support their work.

A Cathedral? Off Fleet Street? Built by Wren? That's only St Paul's, one of the most famous buildings in the city ..

If you'd gone up the dome, it has a "whispering gallery" where if you whisper along the wall it echoes round and can be heard on the other side.

Due to the great fire of 1666, a lot of London churches were built by Wren. He has a distinctive style.
> It's possible that your worst employees are the ones who stick around the longest.

That's another failure of management, rather than the line employees.
If you read more carefully, consider the distinction between a mainstream platform being asked to remove people who violated their terms of service and saying that those people should not be allowed to use platforms which cater to extremists. The former is what actually happens for otherwise legal content — and the reason is obvious once you think about it: private companies can’t be forced to provide services for anything other than legally protected categories, but they are sensitive to what advertisers want and what will attract the type of users they’re looking for. Twitter was previously trying to be more mainstream, which is why extremists trying to recruit wanted to be there instead of alternatives like Parler or Truth Social which only had people who were already converted.

At the start of the pandemic, between March 29 and July 25 2020, everyone claiming unemployment benefits got an extra $600/week on top of their normal payment. Later between December 27 2020, and September 4 2021, everyone was paid an extra $300/week for 9 months. For reference, the maximum unemployment benefit previously was $450/week.

This is all on top of the checks, of which there were 3.

Assuming you claimed unemployment the entire time, you would've gotten paid ~$24k + normal UI.

Let's say it's 2027 and you've narrowed down your shortlist to a Tesla Model 3, a VW id.3 and a Toyota Corolla EV.

The Model 3 has had 10 years to work out the kinks, the id.3 has had 5 and the Corolla EV is brand new.

Which would you choose? Lots of people would pick the Corolla, expecting it to be the most reliable, well engineered and well built.

Toyota can be late to the EV party and still succeed, a luxury other makers without their reputation and experience do not have.
