That's because the internet conditioned us into tolerating inanities coming from the mouths of people we thought should know better. People chose and tolerated for years a president that used primary school English and reasoning.

React Native is a lot faster for building out prototypes but slows down when you start building more complex screens and can be very brittle to maintain over time.
What we don't see enough of is individual stories about how people came to think the way they do.

Every post/comment/reaction you see online, is simply the result of a chain of interactions in-person, and online.

I think if you asked people why they hold an opinion or support something/someone, there would be some seminal moments that shaped their views.

After these views take shape, people just creep into their bubble, and have a predictable and fixed opinion to each news story that comes out.

You need to tackle these seminal moments, the first things that come to people's minds, first in order to change minds.
Where's the shortage of engineering? Tech companies nearly universally (outside like Defense) are laying off huge swaths of developers.
I use external disks (not a NAS), with ZFS. Everything gets backed up to two separate disks. ZFS snapshot replication makes backing up very fast, and ZFS can also check for bitrot.

I use my own simple backup script ... for a Hacker News person, it's a toss-up whether it's easier to write your own script or learn a high-level interface like sanoid/syncoid.

As for RAWs, I use a system more or less like yours, but I store my best photos separately from the others, which solves the filtering problem you mention.

I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82TxNejKsng.

Something more sinister is alluded to. Especially that the faculty will never reward a degree to Richie. The video doesn't give a definitive explanation, however.

But let me give a very wild speculation: Someone suspected plagiarism or just something to be off. That person might have seen a draft copy and thought to himself, this can't be right. They started an investigation. And Ritchie, being a young man really did something bad, perhaps "lending" something. It might be even something not directly related to the thesis. Ritchie was caught red-handed and the punishment was threatening to reject the thesis. Being told this Ritchie didn't submit the thesis. Because shame was involved he never talked about it.

Sorry to be such a downer. If this is true, this would be a very sad story of injustice. Perhaps the dean (or similar) was just too strict and powerful and hated Ritchie. The punishment was too severe. Now both are dead and took their stories to the grave. At least, Ritchie had a successful career anyway, and for that I am happy.

It's only a speculation based on the video I saw. Caveat emptor.

I've worked with Python in the past but never went deep enough to compare the typecheckers. There are several: Pyre, Pyright, Mypy, Pytype.

The reason people fly domestically in the US is that non plane travel is both slower and more expensive than flying.

“High speed rail” is less than half the speed of a 787 say, so a beat case scenario would make it an 11 hour trip. Except that best case scenario would require the route have no stops and be essentially flat and a straight line with essentially no stops. I would guess in practice a best case high speed rail would have that be in the order of twenty hours.

It also wouldn’t stop the TSA wanting to have pervert scans and mugshots. The moment any significant amount of people started using it, the TSA would want to “protect” us.

I don't seek friends on Youtube or online. I am looking for genuine information, better parameter is conflict of interest. A shovel seller may have best info. about gold, but they have an incentive to exaggerate and hype it. In a more relevant context, VCs may be able to give best advice to a founder but they have a bias towards to the fund.

For youtube influencers / gurus / religious gurus, they are in business of selling clicks and views so they'll be more prone to tell you what you want to listen than what will truly help you. Even likes of Jordan Peterson may give wonderful advice if consulted in person, but on Youtube he has to cater to the bias of people who are viewing his videos.
Wars and natural disasters destroy NIMBY gerontocracy. Burning down a city means that the people are no longer concerned with opposing incremental change. The construction process is trivial so the city will quickly grow to what is actually necessary to support its population.

The current generation of youth and working young adults feels abandoned and unecessary, why put more abandoned and unecessary people on this planet? The shrinking population is only a problem for old people, who themselves benefit from a shrinking population right now.

Why not have a separate language for UI that calls native rust apis?
They should have awarded tokens for each block computed. Turned it into a blockchain of sort, would have been a hit!

It sucks because with GPT finally rising to maturity, AI could have helped analyze and parse huge amounts of data that humans would never be able to go through.

>not enough people young enough to do the work needed to support the population too old to work

I don't see the problem though. We have a gerontocracy where most of the power has been concentrated by an unusually old generation. If there was a problem they could have done a lot to solve this problem. I mean, why expect the powerless young to solve the problems of the powerful old?
Ask HN: What are you building with the current wave of AI and LLMs?
With the recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, I'm curious to learn what kind of projects you all have been working on utilizing these powerful tools.

It's clear that we're in the midst of a transformative period for AI, and the possibilities for its applications seem endless.

Personally, I've been experimenting with GPT-4 to create a platform that generates content for niche blogs, which has shown promising results so far. The ability of LLMs to understand context and generate relevant, high-quality content has made the process of content creation far more efficient.

Here are a few areas I've seen people leveraging AI and LLMs:

1. Personalized learning platforms: Utilizing AI to create tailored educational content for students based on their strengths and weaknesses.

2. Sentiment analysis: Companies analyzing customer reviews and social media posts to better understand their audience and improve their products and services.

3. Content summarization: Summarizing long articles and documents into concise summaries for easier consumption.

4. Creative writing and storytelling: Assisting authors and screenwriters in generating ideas, characters, and plots for their stories.

5. Medical diagnosis: Enhancing the diagnostic process by analyzing vast amounts of medical data and generating relevant insights for doctors.

These are just a few examples, and I'm sure there are many more interesting projects out there. So, please share your experiences and ideas!

* What projects are you currently working on or have completed that incorporate AI and LLMs?

* What challenges have you faced while working with these technologies?

* How do you think the landscape of AI and LLMs will evolve in the next few years?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from your experiences!
Ironic (?) that this page comes with a cookie warning.
There are many GUI libraries out there that make use of existing toolkits written in other languages. Honestly, I think that may just be the correct way to go.

Not only does this allow to use "normal" trees for setting up components, it also reuses most of the usability features.

Drawing a box and some text has been solved now. Several Rust libraries can render entire UIs with all the common controls you can think of. The downside of using these pure Rust libraries is that they seem focused more on features than usability. The created UI looks like it belongs inside a video game engine. It doesn't match any of the controls you'd expect to see, it doesn't even try to use your system's theme settings, or even the common OS conventions in some case, especially if you're trying to go cross platform.

One of the best ways to develop snappy GUIs that stick to your system's settings and themes is to use the windows crate and package Wine with your executable. Wine can emulate your system's theme quite convincingly and the Windows API solves most of the accessibility problems. It's a massive pain to develop against, but in my opinion the end result is much more convincing as a "real" UI than many of the native libraries.

After that, Qt provides some pretty good control libraries but interacting with it from Rust is a little painful as you need to choose between tons of wrappers or dropping Rust's safety mechanisms with unsafe{}.

Personally, I'm hoping wxRust gets worked out more, as its still in its early stages by its own admission m. WxWidgets solves my usability problem well enough and is lightweight enough that I think it could finally solve my UI usability quirks. Sure, you'll have the lack of safety guarantees and rely on the C renderer, but WxWidgets has been out for so long that I'm confident the types of bugs switching Rust would solve have mostly been found by now.
Not everything that's old is worth saving.
I have a similar take. I suspect at some stage “software development” will mean feeding business requirements (with some degree of precision) into the algorithm and letting it handle logic, resource provisioning etc. The last traditional programming jobs to go will be legacy software for critical infrastructure, defense, and financial institutions.

Communication skills and business domain knowledge will become far more important than what we consider “tech skills” today.

I doubt the world’s appetite for software will decline even when one person manages to develop in a day what used to take a team of people months. We’ll have a lot more work to do, and a lot more people will join the field.

However, on average, it might become a much less lucrative and prestigious profession.
How about we apply the effort and resources that a "technical solution" would require (which in this case would be massive because again, you are trying to replicate a highly complex natural phenomenon of which many components are barely or not at all understood) to get "political traction on the most optimal thing"?

The reason 9/11 was possible was that pre 9/11 passengers on aircraft were expected to cooperate a wait for authorities and hostage negotiators. Post 9/11 that’s not a thing that people will allow happen, but now even if they did, breaking into cockpits is essentially not possible - as evidenced by the pilot murder/suicides that now require at least two people in the cockpit at all times.

The most common reason for guns and threats of gun usage on flights in the last decade of us flights have been us air marshals getting in arguments, or simply leaving their guns lying around aircraft.

The TSA theater is BS that has nothing to do with making people safer, so the existence of an actual threat isn’t relevant.

"Entirely new technologies"? In plenty of countries the exact world wide web you're using right now already works that way. China and South Korea, to name two.
If you learn programming you can create a completely unique and useful program. Dropshipping on the other hand is thousands of different people selling the exact same product, there is no value added.

I haven't done any UI work in Rust, have used the language sparingly on the side.

But while reading the article, I was thinking "You're modelling the tree wrong! The memory layout doesn't need to know that it is a tree!" - gladly we came to the same conclusion.

The funny thing with this pattern is that Rust is much more loose when it comes to modelling with hashmaps and vectors. You are essentially creating user-space references and maintaining them with your own logic.

You're basically circumventing the borrow checker, but also a lot of other problems as you encapsulate the maintenance of these references within your tree / graph data structure.

But in a sense it's cheating! When you give me a key to a hashmap, do _I_ know whether the thing is there?
Is the challenge really Rust’s design? Or is it an ongoing case of best is the enemy of good? It seems like every UI toolkit we see is another attempt at The Perfect UI Paradigm instead of just being Rust bindings for fltk or whatever.

Seems very man of these here for some reason, trying to find whatever reasons and ways (gonna be licensing mostly) to spread FUD.
No, I’m saying an individual level strategy of enforcing rights is a recipe for failure, and to the extent that the line wasn’t just a pat way to wrap up it’s pretty disappointing to see the author advocating it. Maybe I’m just arguing with someone on their way out the door in which case I’ll just shut up.

It’s reminiscent of the rhetoric passing on responsibility for externalities (environmental destruction, child labor etc) to the consumer. It doesn’t work and companies know this.

All things being equal, I would choose to preserve my privacy, just like I’d choose not to have child slaves harvesting cocoa. But all things are never equal. Just because I buy a chocolate bar doesn’t mean I agree with child labor, just like agreeing to take a picture so I can board a plane doesn’t mean I support the government spying on me.

>Next thing I know you're going to tell me Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia is a real, sovereign country and totally not just Russia invading a neighbor.

Well, I had to look this up on Wikipedia, but in a nutshell, that is roughly correct. To be precise, Abkhazia is a de facto independent state, and has been since the Georgian-Abkhaz war of 1992. Russia only recognised its independence in 2008, probably in response to Georgia's plans to join NATO.

The TSA was born out of 9/11 - prior to 9/11 the assumption was “we’re been taken to Cuba” and so no one fought back until it was sadly too late.

In the post-9/11 world people aren’t going to just silently wait for rescue, and the core threat (the ability to enter the cockpit) has been stopped.

Hijacking a plane to go somewhere (at least in US airspace) isn’t going to work.

So any attack will be terrorism. Assuming something planned (as 9/11 was) you can “easily” kill a lot of people with a train - as numerous accidental derailments have demonstrated.
