I don't know if there's a consultancy that specializes in migrating teams away from React, but I'd just like to say that I absolutely despise that React has sort of become the industry standard from so many companies without even a partial investigation into the alternatives.

React isn't particularly fast.

React isn't particularly organized well.

React isn't particularly pleasant or motivating to work in.

Companies that look into some of the great alternatives will run circles around their slower and dumber competitors.
FBA prices are ok-ish. You can undercut them by using your own ligostics. But to do so you have to know what you do logistics wise, and most sellers don't. Multiplatform selling was one of the main reasons to quit FBA, but Amazon started, if memory serves well, a service that covers sales over different marketplaces. Plus, FBA gets you Amazon Prime and that coveted Buy Box, doing the same as a marketplace seller is possible but hard.
It's a CBC padding oracle, intrinsic to the operation of CBC --- if you PKCS7-pad some other mode, you do not get the same attack --- the single best-known cryptographic vulnerability on the Internet, and the parent commenter took the time to give you the most famous instance of it. For the record: that's also not the only CBC vulnerability.

You choose to be passive aggressive and use extremely broad terminology because you know full well retribution is a core part of that and you are fine with it.

You admit being part of the oppressor class and likely have guilt. You simply don't care about that retribution falls under your broad scope and ideas because you are old and will not have to pay for it.

"Asymmetric retribution" is your way to whitewash the damage you wish to inflict on a different generation of men for your guilty conscience.

It's clear you know full well what all this implies but choose to play ignorant as seen in your replies with other commentators.

I'm glad the young men and I guess some women and mothers too here on hackernews see through your tactics and are rejecting them.

Thank you for all of the comments. As an indie iOS developer, creating apps related to AI has been my passion. It's not just because it's the latest trend, but because I've dedicated myself to researching and learning about computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning. I truly believe that AI will be an integral part of our lives and making it accessible through apps can be a fun and exciting way to experience it.

I would like to address a couple of comments that were made. Firstly, pricing was brought up, and I want to assure you that I conducted thorough research to ensure that the prices were reasonable. You can check other chatgpt kinda apps, you will see that they have higher prices.

Another comment was made about the characters and their responses, which I acknowledge is an area that needs improvement. This is just the first version of the app, and I am committed to enhancing it in the future. While my goal was to create an app that is both educational and entertaining, I also want to stress that I cannot guarantee that everything the bot says is necessarily true or correct. We've seen examples of bad, funny, or even dangerous responses from big companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.

In any case, I want to thank everyone who has tried my app. Your feedback is invaluable and helps me to continue developing and improving my work.

Anthropomorphization of AI is a big problem. If we are to use these AI effectively as tools people must remind themselves these are just simple models that build a text response based on probabilities and not some intelligence putting together its own thoughts.

It’s kind of like doing a grep search on the entire domain of human knowledge and getting back the results in some readable form. But these results could be wrong because popular human knowledge is frequently wrong or deliberately misleading.

Honestly without some sort of logical reasoning component I’d hesitate to even refer to these LLMs as AI.

When a program is able to produce some abstract thought from observations of its world, and then find the words on its own to express those thoughts in readable form, then we will be closer to what people fantasize.

> There is lots of @nogc code available to depend upon

That's not sufficient here. You can literally have a billion @nogc libraries, and even if there was one single GC-requiring library that many people want to use, the problem would be still there.

The only way to make this work is to ensure all of the libraries most people want to use work fine without a GC (or have @nogc alternatives that people would actually want to use). While not theoretically impossible, practically speaking, that's incredibly hard to pull off when you have a shiny GC sitting there.

Requiring some sort of VM or container to run this webserver on? Is it possible that's way more onerous than a static html file which can be emailed around? Are you sure nginx is even going to be around in, say, 15 years? (think password protected PDF but in html and allowing for JavaScript.)

My claim isn't that your phone doesn't contain sensitive information, or that a stolen fingerprint image can be used to unlock your phone, it's that the attack is very unlikely to be carried out, scales poorly (you need physical access to the phone), and there are a dozen other ways of obtaining the same result (ie. lifting the fingerprint off the phone or a nearby object). It's not as simple as hacking into the HR system's fingerprint database and you get all the employees' dickpicks at your fingertips.
Back when the inflation hoopla started I watched the newshour desk (Amna, looking at you) very poorly hype it up. They had economists on to talk about it and they shrugged it off as corporate profiteering. You can always tell when they don't want to hear the truth. I yelled out the answer a few minutes before the economist did.

They didn't invite her on to talk again. For some reason they just froth at the mouth at the prospect of systemic inflation. They will grab the reigns of the culture war and flog it mercilessly to the finish line but will never call out corporate collusion against workers nor the abuse of consumers lest Facebook or Walmart ease up on the "donations."

I've been researching eye tracking for my own project for the past year. I have a Tobii eye tracker which is probably the best eye tracking device for consumers currently (or the only one really). It's much more accurate than trying to repurpose a webcam.

So the problem with eye tracking is what's called the "midas touch" problem. Everything you look at is potentially a target. If you were to simply connect your mouse pointer to your gaze, for example, any sort of hover effect on a web page would be activated simply by glancing at it. [1]

Additionally, our eyes are constantly making small movements call saccades [2]. If you track eye movement perfectly, the target will wobble all over the screen like mad. The ways to alleviate this is by expanding the target visually so that the small movements are contained within a "bubble" or by delaying the target slightly so the movements can be smoothed out which naturally causes inaccuracy and latency. [3] There are efforts to predict the eyes movements to give the user the impression of lower latency, but it's imperfect solution.

Another issue is gaze activation. Computers can't read our minds, so systems which require one to stare fixedly at an object in order to activate an interface are common. The problem with this is the both the delay and effort required. You can easily get a headache from the effort of trying to fixate your eyes on a target. Eye tracking in VR and AR have similar problems.

There are other forms of activation - if you open your
iPhone's accessibility menu in the settings, you'll see a bunch of options including head nods, facial gestures, eye blinks and more. [4]

The future of eye tracking is definitely multimodal. A specific gaze target combined with a gesture or hotword is the way humans naturally interact with other humans (you look at a person, get confirmation through eye contact or a nod, and then speak or gesture.) What's amazing is the amount of redundant effort being made in this area. Some of this stuff has been known a decade or more. There are tons of both research papers and thousands of patents to explore which cover the topic in great detail. There is very little that hasn't already been solved.

I'm still not convinced, back when I worked in product development (I was a product design engineer) edge mounted micro switches designed for this use case were dirt cheep, rated to IP 6x (no dust ingress) and hundreds of thousands of presses.

There would still be side operations during machining of the case to make the raised profile (I assume there still will be one you can feel). And if anything that means more waste material. That or they still have an insert.

Maybe at Apple scale they can be similar in cost, but I don't believe there is a significant cost saving at all.

Citation for boomer retirement figure? I'm trying to keep an eye on this.
The golden era of tech in the recent past was due to the MASSIVE PUBLIC INVESTMENTS mostly pushed by the "cold war". That's is. Private led research have a target: company profits. As the capitalism tend to converge to larger and larger dominant entities the substantial innovation needed by competition disappear and all try to fake evolution to keep their dominant position. Nothing more.

We need PUBLIC research for the society, well funded, well SEPARATED by the private sector who can grab ANY idea, but can't influence in lobbying terms the public research, no revolving doors etc.

A small example: these days enough tech guys understand that we damn need integrated desktops, like the classic Xerox PARC ones, LispM ones etc so NOT countless separated apps, like containers on a ship-OS but a single one where anything is a function usable anywhere. Now see the current trend of "apps" and services who try to do more and more things because integration matter and it's not possible with systems designed to be just ships loaded with sealed containers. Did you see the comparison? Not yet? Ok, let's observe then the actual EV and PV system status:

- essentially ALL current EVs now are NMC/LFP 400V batteries.

- essentially ALL current domestic PV storage are NMC/LFP 400V batteries

- NO DAMN SYSTEM exists (except two experimental and only partial products) to integrate them so one can damn charge it's EV from the solar PV with direct surplus from the inverter MPPTs. No useless and wasteful double DC-AC-DC conversion, no fixed power charge and so on.

Why? Because there is no damn integration because those who produce PV stuff only do that, cars are made by someone else, than some car OEM try to offer complete systems (Toyota and limited Tesla) who happen BOTH to be crappy and limited because developed by people who do not have them nor know enough the whole system.

With public research researchers who design a New Deal know well ALL the parts and have no competing interests, so they'll likely end up with a fully integrate systems ONE standard not a handful and so on. The private sector of course is free to change, but having such good research for free they'll not change that much simply because it's too costly for them.

Now I think anyone can understand the comparison...
Ok we should be solving both problems, I agree, but the reality is agencies and political processes have limited capacity. And how much society and influential people in that society is consumed with one thing, the less they do about the other.

And I would say that I'm not proposing to rework society in sociological sense, but rather to throw out the standard engineering standards and replace them with better standards.

And actually it does matter even in the case you suggest. If a car rolls into an intersection, what speed that car is matters. It matters from what points it is clear that the car is out of control. It matters if there are speed bumps or something along those lines that can send strong signals to a driver.

If you have all raised intersection then the top speed of cars will simply be lower and if somebody human or AI makes a mistake that lead to a crash, that crash will be at far lower speed.

And proper road design also leads to less intelligence and fancy car design being required. I rather get hit by a shitty designed unsafe old car at 20mph then a fancy new car at 30mph.
Corporate profits are an effect, not a cause. And you’d expect profits to hit records after 20% cumulative inflation + not being able to hire enough people to expand the business.

I don’t buy the supply chain argument much either, but I think the huge economic stimulus from the Fed and government + many people dying or exiting the workforce led to both wage inflation (pretty glaringly obvious looking at eg fast food pay, also in the amount of HC expansion in big tech, etc) and more dollars chasing goods/services that did not increase as quickly as the money supply.
My major concerns are about surveillance and control.

The USA is mow requiring banks to report all transactions over $600 to the federal government; the credit card companies are adding category based tracking to transactions at businesses in unfavored industries like gun stores, and banks and credit card companies are denying service to specific individuals due to online speech that had nothing to do with the financial institutions themselves. Canada is “de-banking” protesters. At a macro scale the US government and others are using the SWIFT system to interdict transactions by unfavored individuals, and are electronically “seizing” accounts of such people, usually without a warrant.

I once saw a business co-Founder joining a startup from Google, around a decade back. Leaving his 500k Googler salary to be a Founder at a hot startup. He was from Indian origins and an Ivy League MBA.

His first contribution, besides joining with his credentials was to cut down a few cents per hour from what we’ve been paying to a sweatshop some place in India. That was annotating images for us. From somewhat strange biases in the annotated data, it was likely that this sweatshop was employing children.

Incidentally, Google had acquihired that startup.
