From what I can tell, Web 2.0 came to pass, whereas Web 3.0 has not, which rather changes the discussion around each of them.

Or am I wrong about what Web 3.0 is?
There are two main problems with wikis : Maintaining and Finding.

I'll start with the second, because it is 2023, and wikis are finally embracing semantic search [0]. This will not only almost solve this problem, it will also alleviate the need for heavy handed content organization in general (categories..)

The first problem is best solved IMO with getting someone responsible for gardening it, as someone put it in this thread. There are products designed for smoothing the process [1], but a human gardener is still you best bet.

[0] https://slite.com/ask is the first enterprise wiki I've seen integrating this.

Actually i've got the price data all in the DB but was just worried it would get out of sync pretty often and since i've only got a few sources.

Once i've got more sources per knife i'll go ahead and add in "Where to buy" links as well as pricing filters!

What is a "prompt engineer"?
> Linux is nice, but it would be nicer to have a UX focused product

I feel like this is being over-used at this point. Modern gnome works fine.
Can you have a look on how the web ui does the typing indicator animation?
I really need an engineer to know what is happening there, why is it animating an svg in the dom by looping in Javascript, instead of just using a gif?
This is destroying the battery by pegging a cpu core on firefox.

At least this has been the case last time I checked. And there is no way to disable the animation.
I'd be happy to have less focus on the textual symbols someday. Preferably without diving completely away from them into common graphical programming languages.

This is largely doable in any modern environment. Dr Racket, for example, can do fun things. https://docs.racket-lang.org/teachpack/2htdpimage.html Emacs can largely do the same.

What I would love, is an overall system that brought all of these together such that I can have images that are type checked for size or other necessary items by the build to do the next step. Instead, we have forced ourselves into text only. Everywhere. Why can't we have a visual view of what we want the UI to be that is cross linked to the code in a build/check step?
Almost missed the footnote at the bottom, but his "Designing Virtual Worlds" book is available as a free PDF in the link there. I read it cover to cover previously and it had a profound effect on my designs going forward.
We were in a fairly wonky business and we won nearly all of them. Maybe due to the fact they were expected and our evidence of every step of the process was solid.

If you are a fly by night op like amazon with inventory commingling I guess you don’t stand a chance.
There's a lot of overlap between the Nazis and both major parties in the US. That said, I don't think it is fair to say that being a Nazi is mainstream because there is some ideological overlap.

It just means that some parts of their platform have become mainstreamed. A simple and non-controversial example is that the Nazis were extremely Progressive on animal rights. Just because modern political parties also endorse animal rights, that does not make them Nazis

Another example is that Nazi rhetoric relied heavily on utilitarian analysis of the greater good. I don't think it's reasonable to say that any party that promotes the greater good over individual freedoms is a Nazi party.
Hey there! I really like your service. What's your tech stack?
And yet, "Engineering" is not just "engineering" things.

Oxford:

1. "the activity of applying scientific knowledge to the design, building and control of machines, roads, bridges, electrical equipment, etc."

2. "the study of engineering as a subject"

Yeah I guess it's too hard for teachers to actually interact with their students to get an idea of their understanding of a subject. Let's do standardized multiple choice tests that only require you to learn how to pass tests. Who cares about the actual knowledge, right?
I meant issue as in problem. They enjoy having an expressive language since it makes it easier for them to work. They don't get much benefits from having a less expressive language where metaprogramming is easier.
There isn’t always a solution on Linux. I’ve hit a few things over the years where I’ve hit a wall and got stuck. On two occasions I fixed it myself and submitted patches and got entirely ignored. The bot closing your ancient PR that the maintainer of a large open source project didn’t even bother looking at is the status quo in my existence.

Now I acknowledge that I’m helpless on any platform.
Someone who writes prompts for AIs. It's what's going to be left when all the programming jobs are gone.
That's not how learning work in the slightest, the output may be both of similar low quality but if the student learned a few things in the process of writing that low quality essay then it might have been worth it anyway, as in maybe the student didn't fully reached the knowledge or understanding to get the highest grade but it did improve the way the student thinks about the subject, maybe after a few days in the back or their heads it will click, or maybe it will click after reading something tangentially related, or maybe it will help them find gaps in their knowledge they were even unaware of before trying to actually complete the assignment (and were unable to be spotted by reading the homework tasks alone)
This book shows up every year or so on HN and I will never stop upvoting it. My favorite textbook of all time, along with my favorite quote:

Meta has always been immensely profitable. It was hit this year because investors didn’t like how hard mark was going into the reality labs stuff and that also reminded them that he can do whatever the hell he wants, including making no money for extended periods of time. Their recent layoffs and this reports continued capex cuts show that mark is committed to keeping his investors happy which is why we’re seeing the bounce back.
When people say "early" they can mean very different things, it's not really useful for gauging your actual risk.

Check a yearly UV index for your area. There are times of day that are completely safe for your skin type; but typically those times are quite early / late, like before 8am and after 4pm. UV tends to rise quite sharply in the morning, so while it might be a 2 or 3 at 8am it could be 5 or 6 at 9am (enough to burn your skin type).

> Prompt engineering is a concept in artificial intelligence, particularly natural language processing (NLP). In prompt engineering, the description of the task is embedded in the input, e.g., as a question instead of it being implicitly given. Prompt engineering typically works by converting one or more tasks to a prompt-based dataset and training a language model with what has been called "prompt-based learning" or just "prompt learning".[1][2] Prompt engineering may work from a large "frozen" pretrained language model and where only the representation of the prompt is learned, with what has been called "prefix-tuning" or "prompt tuning".[3][4]

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_engineering
There are ways to get truly random numbers into a computer. Certain phenomena are theorized to be fundamentally random, and can be used as inputs to hardware.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_gener...
Here is a study that show Python is more bug-prone and that TypeScript is far more reliable:
https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/

That source shows why language studies are so difficult, and why it is hard to draw conclusions. For example, your study doesn't count KeyErrors or NoneType exceptions as type errors, but those count as well. There are other considerations: you're only looking at released projects which might have a ton of tests to balance the fact that they're dynamic. But there is absolutely no way you can say "dynamic languages are less buggy". There's no data for that.

> For your very simple example, your IDE can do that!

No it can't. An IDE doesn't help at all here, because it doesn't know where you passed around that dict, and where it was created. There's no type hints. That dict is now a class, and you have to go find where else you used it. If you don't use any type hints in Python, how would you find all those cases? You have to hunt for it yourself, grok the entire codebase (which you may not have worked in for a while), and then run it a ton of times to make sure you caught every edge case. Refactoring in Python is very time consuming and dangerous compared to typed languages.
Mainly Rails. Some Go.
The mainstream culture of the hippie's day would have said, with just as much disgust as you hold for the 4channers:

> The hippies are rooted in things like naiveté, lust, drugs, immorality, communism, apathy, and atheism.

There is a sense in the more liberal communities that cultures are good-by-definition. They do mental gymnastics to ensure that any harmful cultural artifacts (e.g. slavery) are explained away as "not really culture, but a product of external forces" (e.g. imperialism).

I have never felt the need to do this: some cultures are on-the-whole bad, and that does not disqualify them from being cultures.

>But Carter, according to Kraft, had just returned from Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) in Vienna, and he had spoken with the Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, about how the United States was going to be able to fly the shuttle over Moscow continuously to ensure they were compliant with the agreements.

Assuming this was 1972, the United States had several generations of image reconnaissance satellites in orbit at the time.[0]

The shuttle made a good cover story I suppose.

Most surprising to me on Mac was that the "flag" (I'm not sure that's the right term here either) was preserved on files extracted from a tarball downloaded from the internet. Although I think this also required extracting it via Finder (GUI) and did not apply when using the tar command - I can't remember exactly.
> This tells me that you have never learned a foreign language to a high level of proficiency, and that you know very little about art.

Well, I've obviously learned English well enough to fool you :P

Anyways, I might have misunderstood you, dunno... my impression was that you're saying exactly that - that IQ is the main predictor of academical success - which is something that I both strongly disagree, and have a plenty of anecdotal examples around me that prove it wrong.
As far as I remember the (W3C) standard wasn’t really unmaintained, it was going in a direction nobody cared about with its focus on xhtml.

In the meantime IE6 had all but won the browser wars and completely strangled innovation in a striking demonstration of the problems with a monopoly. The web needed to be shook up.
Was pretty surprising to me seeing you embrace the Flutter/CanvasKit plan, take it as a good prototype & support furthering this. The web has always seemed so rich in virtue & principle, gives us so much, and I always would have assumed you saw & got some of that, some of the worth & dignity of the web endeavour. This feels reaching for something so utterly & different & opposed to that shared medium we have, and I cant comprehend how dark one's perception must be to walk the path of abandoning a shared medium for structure-less freeform running code.

I just wish I saw any hope for an standard or interoperability, saw this as a starting point for better or more inter-networking of systems, which has been one of the most brilliant & faith-building-in-humanity things I've been so fortunate to experience the rise of, has been so inspirational. The web has been so obviously & clearly better than everything else in computing by being a medium, has so many virtues by being just self-modylifying documents. It has been stunningly inspirational.

By compare, this feels like walking into the dark. There is no medium of exchange here; just a screen with bitmaps. I want to have some at least vague sense that someone other than developers would be enhanced by a supplantative would-be-media like what is proposed here, want to imagine some real core connective substance that is at least as good as what we have.

I dont see any cognizance or respect from very good long standing web folk like yourself that this kind of effort has huge downsides and risk to users. Rather than everyone sharing a same web kernel, any developer can build their own app kernel & reinvent everything... it's bold & powerful an idea, and I struggle enormously to say (so very conservatively): no, this is a frontier we should not explore. I cherish exploration so much. But this doesnt seem like a medium to me, it doesnt seem like it's anything aside from giving everything we have & share up completely, to embrace a path of starting from nothing, and this time having no common interchange to work forward together with. Users having not a rich document, but just having a shitty low grade unintelligible illegible mess: having only running code. The idea of that, to me, resembles an attack, against the web, against the idea of inter-networking, and against people.

Hugs back Hixie, holy frelling frak!
Well spotted, and damn that was fast :-)

OpenAI to Offer ChatGPT Subscription Plan for $20 a Month
Well, it wasn’t. This is pretty well documented. It has pretty much the same design requirements and even some of the same contractors, but it also differed in key ways. It had a totally different instrumentation board, optical packages, and was built for servicing which KH wasn’t.

The fact that it was the same form factor is not an accident, as Hubble was sized to fit in the shuttle payload bay, which was itself sized based on keyhole.

Feels like we are going see the bring your own AI/LLM going forward. There will be tools lke Github copilot, ghostwriter and what not. One is not going to pay for all of them and specially when they are going to be powered by the same thing in the backend.

So, more like there would see a marketplace of these tools which you can connect with your api/subscription to power them.

I would enjoy a world like that.
I dunno, the model is compelling from a business perspective because you don’t have to pay to make content up front. Instead, charge royalties on user-generated content revenue. Roblox already does this well. I wouldn’t dismiss the whole thing out of hand.

I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including various forms of networking and distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and make money. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy codebases

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

I get that's how Disneyland is now, but there's like zero serendipity?

When I was growing up, I'd often go in February/March, and if it happened to be rainy/drizzly in the morning, there were few lines and you could do whatever whenever. The "E-Ticket" rides would take 15-30 minutes in line if you went on the right days. Most of the restaurants would be fast and easy, although The Blue Bayou could still be crowded (OMG, best Monte Cristo ever though).

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Hello, I'm Josh.

Just recently, I helped my client launch https://folderr.com after he got burned by an incompetent team.

The app is full-stack Django, React, including Ionic/Capacitor mobile apps. I worked on all these technologies including deployment to AWS, Apple Store, and Google Play.

In summary, I'm a true full-stack developer so you no longer have to juggle between different contractors to get features out. Once you hire me, you'll be able to launch your product in no time.

Here's what my client has to say:

"As someone who has spent 15 years in the software industry, both as a product director and as the founder of multiple software companies (one scaling to more than 250k users), I can attest that it is not easy to find a full-stack developer who possesses both exceptional technical skills and strong communication and trustworthiness. But in Josh, I have found such a candidate. He has not only demonstrated a deep understanding of technologies such as Python, React, AWS, and Ionic, but he has also consistently shown himself to be an effective communicator and a trustworthy team member. Josh is a self-starter who is able to quickly understand product and feature requirements and instantly resolve complex issues, something my previous development agency in India was not able to do. I could go on and on about the problems I've faced with other developers around the world, but I'll just sum it up by saying that Josh is one of the best developers I've ever worked with. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Josh to any organization."
Love,
Tim"

Web 2.0 was the application of AJAX and/or database back-ends to the already functional web. This had already started to happen by the time the "Web 2.0" moniker came to be. "You mean we can blog, or click-and-drag Google Maps? OK, great." Any naysaying was about the term "Web 2.0" - was this really a "second release" of the web? - and not about the technologies already in play.

Web3, on the other hand, appears to be a whole lot of horseshit that is going away now that it's no longer essentially free to borrow money.
