Article replaces "Twitter" with "Elon Musk." Reads like comedy. "Elon Musk starts limiting how many tweets you can post per day." "I couldn't login to Elon Musk." This kind of idolatry makes me laugh, because people typically are unaware that they're doing it. Something about that is incredibly comical to me. Anyone else find this hilarious? I'm curious if there is some evolutionary purpose behind it. Being that it's subconscious behavior, I suspect there is.
Obviously because many people want it.

And for many it has clear benefits: They cut down on commute, spend more time with family, pets, hobbies. More ambiguous: Less contact with colleagues, more/less focus, perks of slacking off.

People are interested in looking inside the black box (our brain) for sure, partly for inspiration as to how to implement intelligence among other things, but implementing isn't the same as defining.

Being able to define what you want to achieve isn't generally the same as knowing HOW to achieve it (except in this case the definition of intelligence rather does suggest the right path).
You might take several steps to resolve the issue when you have a blocked drain. It is crucial to call a professional plumber for drain unblocking in Maida Vale; drain unblocking is not a DIY project. Homeowners often try to unblock the drains using various techniques and getting help from YouTube.

The Sound of Grief
The destruction of meritocracy. Meritocracy forces people to confront things about themselves they don't like and influences them to change. Change is hard and painful. Especially now, when the things people need to change about themselves are also things they hold as being very important to their identity. People with a cultural background that fosters academic achievement will on average achieve more than people who don't. In the Western world, those cultural differences often also line up with ethnic differences. That's what we refuse to confront: that, by ourselves or in response to circumstances imposed on us by others, some of us have developed cultures that put us at a disadvantage.

Did my Korean friend growing up who spent his every afternoon and weekend studying while I was playing videogames deserve to get into a better university than me and make more money than me? I say he did. DEI says he didn't.
I don't really understand your argument. Because other tech has been hyped in the past and let you down you think that will therefore extend to AI because...it just will? What precisely links AI to the semantic web or SOAP?

(and it's always about business use cases)
> if you're in a Western country with low inflation and good banks there seems like little point.

Not at all. Some EU countries aside, most western countries do not have a good inter-bank payment system and are still dependent on Mastercard, Visa and Paypal to handle merchant transaction settlements.

Local currency cash is the only thing a state has control over. As use of cash declines, it becomes important to have a centrally-administered digital cash alternative, just like paper cash.

??? What are they?

- bad code, with non obvious bugs? I would prefer the original slashdot/GitHub/blog post. Google used to do that.

- chat bots? The customer service will still be shit. Your problem will still not be solved. But I guess some call center staff can be fired. Customers will be very happy to never be able to speak to a human.

- Writing mediocre overlong content for google to place ads in? Just what the internet needs. It’s already day time tv.

Any more?

Congrats on the launch! Huge TAM so there’s lots of room for a healthy ecosystem of competitors in no code low code. My suggestions for succeeding in this ecosystem:

* The value is in the long tail. Major services will integrate with other major services on their own. Make it easy to integrate with the smaller services.

* Enterprise features is where the rev is at, you want to be able to get into Corp customers who are willing to spend $50k-$150k/year with you because you offer automation their internal it or dev teams can’t (along with RBAC, audit logs, and the usual trimmings that an enterprise offering entails) (individual and smb personas are fine, but they are price sensitive and have higher churn)

* UX is important. Spend the resources as you scale to understand how your users are leveraging your product for their workflows; it should be magical to them. The easier it is to use, the more it’ll be used, which translates to more revenue (assuming revenue tied to tasks executed).

* Integrations will break frequently; instrument to know when this happens and to rapidly roll out fixes.

* It is crucial to be able to pause your workers as well as replay data from webhooks and polling. Also, log all the things (while redacting secrets) as data is processed. This will make troubleshooting integration issues and edge cases (which will pop up often at scale) less painful as data structures flow through your code paths.
The default for BIND is to only allow recursion on local networks, not just for anyone. I'd be very surprised if other popular DNS software simply openly recurses for anyone.

Not defending anything here - but is this a case where a low-middle quality school is trying to protect itself from downside risk of one of their staff creating an uproar? They probably already have an enrollment and funding problem so any further debacle will only hurt further.

I honestly believe that this is an exception. Most people aren't going to be repeat offenders if proper blameless post-mortems/root cause analysis are performed. It will get to the roots of what actually caused it, and that can provide for a training opportunity.

Incompetence is generally caused by a lack of training, and carelessness is driven by culture. Yes, there really are cases where an individual is a problem, and potentially even needs fired. But most of the time it's the organization and its culture, policies, etc. that are truly at fault.
I started making stuff in rails around 2013, got a job at a PHP firm around 2018 where I've worked with a lot of Laravel. At this point i know Laravel better than rails, I would say.

Most of the things you mentioned is either present in rails by default, such as queues and cache. Yes, you have to install external dependencies such as device for authentication etc, but that takes mere seconds to set up. Like, two or three CLI commands and you're done. Rails has "liveview" too in the form of Stimulus.

Never heard of filament tho, looks kinda neat. I know there are some similar gems for rails, but I have little experience with these kinds of products.

I still pick rails for my private development projects. Laravel and Rails both have their upsides, but none of them are really a game changer enough that I'dd consider dropping rails in favor of Laravel. Some of the things I like with rails in particular are things like

* Interactive repl on exception screens in the browser. I can interrogate the state of my request when the error occurred.

* "Intellisense" in the rails console(and also interactive repl) is kinda nice.

* I find it easier to configure and setup rails in docker than php.

* I like that in rails validations are defined on the model and not on the request.

* I like the built in form_for, form builder in rails, i like that its also very extendable. Which makes it easy to make reusable components with little to no code.

* My IntelliJ is often much better at understanding and parsing my rails projects than my rails projects.

* Lots of small rails things such as route functions instead of the route helper.

* It feels to me like rails has less boilerplate and is better at generating scaffolds, but that might be because of the laravel code I have been working on.

I agree that we should show some display of how our features compare to existing apps in the market.

Thank you for the cost comparison, I'd like to highlight that some apps price on whole flow execution and others on step execution. We chose pricing on step execution to easily compare with Zapier and Make. We'll see how this will develop.

I'm not in the aviation industry or an aviation expert, but it seems like they have a really healthy approach towards viewing failures even though their failures can cost hundreds of lives and are far more impactful than some dumb bug in a dumb social media website.

When something goes wrong in aviation, they don't seem to rush to blame the pilot or an individual engineer who coded or welded something badly.

They look at the overall process and view it as a process failure.

They look at the flight checklist requirements and see if there are are any ambiguities or gaps.

They look at the manufacturing process and try and figure out if there are any better QA tests they can do.

They look at the design of the plane and see if there's anything that might have been overlooked as a possible issue.

Ask HN: Advice for Building a Remote Team
I am working on a project that will be needing more helping hands in a couple of months and so I will be building a remote team. Nothing big, I am thinking 1-3 people before the year is over. I was wondering if folks that went through this on the employer side, if they could give me some advice on how to approach it? Technical aspect, managerial, administrative...literally any input is welcome. For context I am building a SaaS/PaaS.

It has been suggested before (by cstross I think) that the next step is celebrity endorsements. With their cells. There must be someone that you think of as "tasty". And it won't harm them, in fact they'll get paid when you buy.
I'd wager they are just selling whatever inventory they have yet, and it'll never get a USB-C refresh.
Show HN: My friend stole my data – now I have a small side hustle
Hello everyone

Short story:
My now former colleague got access to my computer while he lived in my apartment. The damage was not so big, an order of 120$ in an online shop. It could have been worse.

"The past has shown time and again that the damage is often done by those closest to you. Ancient Rome is an example of this."

The biggest problem was that I had not noticed it for a long time.
For this reason, I have created a simple and cheap honeypot that you can spread out on your computer or print out. It takes the person to an attractive honeypot website with a login. After that you get notified per email that someone logged in.

The page exists for 1 year, but I have redesigned it.
What do you think about the page?

>>Instead of AI making machines smarter, it seems that computers are making humans dumber. Perhaps the AI revolution is about dropping the level of average human intelligence to match the level of a computer. A mental race to the bottom?

I came here to make this comment. Thank you for doing it for me.

I remember feeling shocked when this article appeared in the Atlantic in 2008, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?":
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-goog...

The existence of the article broke Betteridge's law for me. The fact that this phenomenon it is not more widely discussed describes the limit of human intelligence. Which brings me back around to the other side... perhaps we were never as intelligent as we suspected?
What harassment? What marginalized group?

She's an ordinary girl. Privileged in every single way: wealthy, good looks, good brain. She's never showed even the tiniest sign of being uncomfortable in her body. Not in toys, clothing, choice of friends, just zero signals at all. She does not live in an environment that is in any way conservative or oppressive, nor religious.

You don't have to take this lack of signs from me, it's from her mother whom lived with her for 20 years in a row. The change comes out of the blue, is drastic, and closely aligns with her new environment and friends. So yes, social contagion is very much on the table if not the most likely factor. There's nothing controversial about social contagion as a mechanism, most people's behaviors and mindsets are drastically influenced by culture.

You seem to take my comment as judgmental, but it's coming from empathy. It's her choice and she'll live with the consequences, not me. But when there is an inexplainable spike in young girls changing body parts and making irreversible choices, and seemingly only in big city universities, then I have questions. Because I care about them, and I will never apologize for that.
In zsh you can use:

for f in **/data.json; mv $f $f:r.yaml

Which is even shorter, and easier. In bash you need a bit more syntax:

for f in **/data.json; do mv $f ${f%.json}.yaml; done

That second example can probably also be simplified a lot in a similar fashion.
I take it all back. I got used to the controls after 30 mins or so of playing now I’m half way through and loving it. Modern controls would still be a welcome addition though
No, I was not convinced to start with and am getting less convinced all the time. To explain I'll go back to the middle ages. This was a time when the average person did not have access to books and the books which were in existence mostly were related to religion. That in itself was not that much of a problem since religion was the guiding line in most of people's lives but what was a problem was that those who wanted to know about what those books contained had to go through a middle man - an ecclesiastic - to get an interpretation. This gave those middle men enormous power which many of them wielded to their advantage, something which eventually led to a schism inside the ecclesiastical world when one of them nailed a pamphlet to a church door deriding the excesses of his world. When books became more generally available and with that literacy became a thing the world changed for what it seemed to be for good...

...until the rise of the new ecclesiastical class? These models are biased in several ways with the training set defining their world view and those who train them intervening in specific areas to bend the output to their will. They can be made to negate the old dictum of garbage in, garbage out to garbage in, gospel out - where the gospel follows whatever the (small-c) creator thinks the populace should know and (in extension) think.

In short I don't trust these models any further than I can throw them.
Check out Paxful. Last time I properly looked at it there was a huge amount of African "vendors" who would trade any giftcard imaginable for BTC. Giftcards being basically anonymous cash, I can't imagine how much criminal activity must be going on there.

Oh no. Tangentially related, but this reminded me of That One Subreddit[1] before The Big Redesign. I don't even use Reddit, and I don't remember how did I even find about that, but I will never forget it as the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

I won't say the name because I don't even want to send traffic of any kind to Reddit, but I can confirm The Internet Archive has pages from before The Big Redesign.

The linked vercel app is nice and accessible in comparison.

The End of Grading
Transaction costs did become a huge drag on the system and a drain on wealth [edit: what I mean is, at some point they overwhelmed the initial value of cutting out the middleman in other types of digital currency transfers], although I don't think this was a conscious or coordinated decision; it was a result of the inherent limit in block size / mining capacity. Basically, "Satoshi" never imagined so many people would be trying to trade so frequently... so perhaps this focus on storage of value was in a sense baked in unwittingly. I was for BCH becoming the "main" branch. Honestly, though, I don't think making it easier or harder or more or less expensive to trade had any impact on whether or not con artists used it to con people.
Ask HN: Web Application Translation
Hi!

We have a web application, in English. Our team is not big enough to manually handle translations in different languages.

I know there are dozens of Translation services available but it seems that they are used to translate a string - we want all text translated after all JavaScript is loaded.

The thing is that both Edge and Chrome has built in translator features (which I guess call their respective APIs in the background). We have tried out those and the result is usually great (at least when translating to our native language).

Is it possible to call those browser translation services manually through an JS API? Also - we already have some users using those built in translation functions - to what quota are these counted on? I mean if we would have millions of users translating our page through the browser translation service - we ourself have no agreement with the translation providers?

Any input on this?
> I always tell my clients to fall into the trap of treating personal preferences as the optimal solution to a problem.

Are you missing a negation here?
I might be missing the intended tone perhaps?
Sort of. It's not natively supported, but you can use something like s3fs-fuse to mount a S3 compatible storage (like B2) locally and use that. I personally went a different route: Set up Nextcloud, point its primary storage to B2, and then mount a Nextcloud folder (using WebDAV) to my filesystem which I configured as primary storage for Photoprism. That setup was pretty slow, but I also had Nextcloud and Photoprism running on the same VPS which additionally was underpowered for even Photoprism alone.
I am now using a separate server for Photoprism and performance is much better
Yeah but in real life you could grab somebody and yell "Oh my god, stop moping about how scared you are of explosives and just put a goddamn steel blade on your flying murder-drones so they're not one-use-only."
I think what the commenter is saying is that, in time, language models too will do a lot more than string words together. If it's large enough, and you train it well enough to respond to “what's the best next move in this chess position?” prompts with good moves, it will inevitably learn chess.
The state of medical care in the US is such that the regulators have to be very conservative. This isn’t a sophisticated place with good access or integrated records for care in most cases.

If you’re a high risk patient like an addict, when you end up in the ER for whatever, they’re just going to cut off whatever medication you’re on, keep you from dying, and kick you out as soon as they aren’t liable.
I understand that it might help some people, and I am referring to my clients desire as terrible rather than the whole concept. However I have yet to actually see it used without it increasing complexity without demonstrable improvements. I see that Martin Fowler agrees.

It falls into the "you are not Google" problem solving hole.

I'm dealing with a financial institution doing this. CQRS should be an evolution if you find it complex to model, use, and scale not the initial implementation. Now we have another location to lose data.
It isn't more complicated, it is just different. Here, let me hire for an office instead...

"You may not struggle with office work and may do fine interacting in person, but that’s not true for a lot of people."

I have people who do far better at home than in the office, and some on the other end of the spectrum. People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and finding the right people is the same challenge regardless.

What is hard is tooling and setting up processes that work for remote people. The world is at the start of figuring that out at scale and there is lots to learn. But hiring is always going to be the same game, finding the right people for the role and its requirements.

If I were hiring for an oil rigger it would not be more complex than hiring for a great developer. It will definitely be different, but all recruitment is different and sees different challenges. But it's always going to be about knowing what to ask, knowing your industry, and doing your very best to find a process that selects fairly and efficiently. Remote work hiring is just a different challenge that we are all just getting used to. People are hard problems to solve.
MIT license builds the trust to use it and contribute to it, or at least use it freely.

But that also enables someone to use your software as a starting point for their own competing SaaS solution.

Which is what encourages companies to at some point of time shift to a BSL license, as you might also at some point of time.

The goal is of course to build Enterprise features which are hard to replicate for others, but these imply more complex engineering challenges are being solved.

That could be plugins to integrate into other Enterprise tools like Snowflake or Salesforce for e.g.

Another interesting observation is that in next 4-5 years we could expect a robust open source MIT licensed stack for pretty much everything.

But it only feels like that, because we will start to have quantum computing and then all software will need to get rebuilt.
