Live preview of vanilla CSS as I change it?
Doing a ton of classless CSS right now and plain vim is slowing me down little due to lack of WYSIWYG, which normally doesn't bother me at all.

Is there a tool that lets me see my CSS in one pane and the rendered HTML file in another, such that if I tweak the CSS I can see the rendered changes live in the HTML? Bonus if Markdown is supported.
The porn industry has lobby groups. The main industry one is the Free Speech Coalition, but the Adult Performance Artist Guild, the porn actors labor union, does lobbying (sometimes in conjunction with FSC where their interests coincide), too.

They don’t have nearly the resources, grassroots base, or supply of Russian money the NRA has had, OTOH, neither is in the degree of legal mess the NRA is currently in, either.

Hey HN

I'm surprised we still don't have OS shells which are closer to what the Symbolics Lisp Machine had in the 80s.

Every once in a while, I look around to see if there are any projects working on something like this for modern OSes.

So though I'd ask here... Does anyone know of any current projects like this?

Thanks!
It seems like Hume's Principle is only a matter of semantics, not of mathematics. The concept of one-to-one correspondence is useful even if we don't refer to it as size. All existing proofs would be equally valid even if we didn't accept this definition of 'size', since it would still be true that there is or isn't a correspondence between two sets, even if we refer to it in a different way.

Logs will appear no matter what, at some point in the line of reasoning. They are only held back until differentiating in this approach. I think the expression for the derivative of logn/n was much nicer to grapple with.
> Right, but the complete argument isn't "there are other ways to do this", the argument is "there are other ways to do this, and nearly every one of them is less error-prone".

I feel like there's such a wide variety of things that you could be trying to do with macros that this definitely true a lot of the time.

> The same is true for popular libraries and whatnot that ship with the language, which is why I'm not particularly concerned about "defn" or "for" are macros. Those are macros in most implementations, I'm aware, but they're really-well-tested macros because pretty much every Lisp developer to ever write a significant amount of Lisp has tested them. "defn" and "for" aren't broken.

So I'd argue for this differently: defn and for and other pervasive macros aren't safe because they're well-tested, they're safe because they're trivial. You know that (defn ...) is short for (def (fn ...)). You know exactly the code that that macro expands to. And you can choose to type (def (fn ...)), or you can choose to type (defn ...). Same with short-circuiting "and", or "for", or "+=", or whatever.

It sounds like you're mostly talking about complex, hairy macros -- macros where you don't know exactly what code they expand to. But I dunno, the fact that macros can create monstrosities doesn't mean that you should have to type (def (fn ...)). It's a feature with an extremely broad scope, and can definitely be mis-used.

> I'll point out that JavaScript already had async callbacks and promises (implemented as a library) when async/await was added as a third way to do basically the same thing, resulting in JS codebases that now have half-baked glue to make the three ways work together. I'm not sure anybody was waiting for async/await to do anything that couldn't already be done, and the churn of reimplementing working code to use a new feature didn't do anyone much good. But that's sort of a tangent.

This is a very good point. Destructuring assignment, maybe? Arrow functions? I think we agree that some language features are good additions, even if I picked a bad example :)

> Codebases that use extensive macros to create DSLs eventually become write-only. The power and readability you see in toy examples and in the short run in your own code, rarely plays out in the long run, and when it does play out it's because of extensive testing and work--a lot more work than Bob and I have the bandwidth for.

I dunno! I can certainly see how an extensive macro-based DSL could degrade to something write-only.

I don't know when the long run starts, but my experience with macros is that they're just a huge productivity benefit that I wouldn't want to give up. I haven't seen a codebase degrade into an idiosyncratic mess -- perhaps, in part, because there's a lot more friction to writing macros in OCaml than in Clojure, so macros are only used where they provide a substantial and obvious benefit. Or perhaps it's that typechecking makes it much harder to write poorly-behaved macros. Or perhaps I just got lucky with my cubicle assignment :)

I think that's intentional. They clearly want to kill those apps because they don't generate ad revenue.

Those apps will now also have to move to a subscription-only model because the APIs will be paid, as the Apollo dev confirmed.
Her speech didn’t bother me at all. Company needs to make money and apparently it isn’t, yet people still want bonuses. Pay them and hurt the company, or don’t pay but maybe lose your best employees.

This is why only a few people are capable of running companies. The reality of profit and loss - aka “math” - is too much for most people.
"Manufacture a consensus"?
I sorta wonder why they didn't call this Kramdenization. Ralph Kramden of The Honeymooners was the original character on television who started out as a somewhat normal guy and ended up a caricature of himself. He basically started the tradition of males being complete morons in relationships in popular media. At least Archie Bunker sorta started out in end-stage Kramden and they were able to make the character infuriating and endearing at the same time.

You could also make an argument for something called Urkelization, for when a bit character ends up taking over an entire show and it reforms itself around him.
> PC Engine complained about a lack of design support. Personally I just am not that sympathetic.

PC Engines designed one of the best-regarded boards of the last decade. It's unlikely that they needed babysitting by AMD.

What they sought from AMD was a low-power embedded SoC without a GPU, in ~price and perf/watt of sub-10W TDP SoC used in the fanless APU2.

An SoC with different TDP and price tier would have meant no upgrade path for APU2 customers, and market development for new customers.

Ryzen Embedded V2000 (2020) customers included casinos. All models included iGPU, https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-launches-v2000-ryzen-e...

Ryzen Embedded V3000 (2022) finally dropped the iGPU, https://www.servethehome.com/amd-ryzen-embedded-v3000-launch...

While we're having a moment of silence for PC Engines, they deserve credit for small biz survival through 2020-2022, with supply chain disruptions and grey markets for Intel NICs and other components. Now AMD is ending sales of embedded GX-412TC, with 6 month backlog and >30% drop in laptop sales.

Why can't AMD extend sales of this old SoC until they have a replacement Ryzen Embedded V3000 SKU with comparable power profile? GX-412 is an older node. Customers want to buy it. AMD has struggled to get adoption and design wins for Ryzen Embedded. Why abandon existing embedded customers?

I'm guessing protectli might be a contender here. I think they're able to router gigabit as well. I think there are some similar variants that can be had from Aliexpress but I certainly wouldn't be running those as my router.
But the bicycle design wasn't determined by influencers. It was defined by years of design improvements by multiple innovators. Influencers bought us phones with glass backs, no battery, non existent headphone jack. Weird hole on the screen, curved edges, camera bumps. The design is definitely not right, okay they didn't bring it but they normalized it so much that companies are in pursuit of their requirements.

HINT: Hint Is Not TeX
Eh, I'm still confident that the biggest effect these tools will have is to increase the sheer amount of noise per capita, which was the trajectory the world has been headed down since the internet and particularly since the advent of social media.

LLMs will be wonderful noise generators. They can produce volumes of (probably largely useless) information at rates most people could hardly fathom and can do so with basically a nonexistent barrier to entry.

They do not understand concepts, mathematics, logical relationships. They are good at emulating sentences, and maybe ok at helping creatives get new ideas, but at the end of the day, they're just a multiplier over the metric tons of pointless data we already produce on a daily basis.

Furthermore, they only work in a specific zone of the utilitarian, capitalistic flattening of value that modern hyper-capitalism perpetuates. The experience of art generated by an AI is only of interest and valuable due to the gradual erosion of human value under the gears of capitalism. Money has ensured everything has its price (equivalence). It's pretty easy to imagine a monetary-free society in which the human side of any product (the experience that went into it, the human hands that fashioned it) would out-value the utilitarian ends of the product (there are already strands of this in small maker movements). LLMs are only prescribed value in a system that has already fully embraced mass-production and the standardization and flattening of human experience down to common denominations. A society that placed no stock in mass-produced goods would have no interest in LLMs. They are quite literally just an imitation game.
> The reality of profit and loss - aka “math” - is too much for most people.

If it was just math, a lot more people would be better at it. But your own statement shows how there’s much more to it than math: “Pay them and hurt the company, or don’t pay but maybe lose your best employees.”

No math is going to tell you how to decide that situation. And business is full of such decisions, which collectively can make or break a company.

The history of East Central Europe is very complicated and contested. Don't know whether there were obvious good guys in the aftermath of WW I.

"He (Piłsudski) used military force to expand the Polish borders in Galicia and Volhynia and crush a Ukrainian attempt at self-determination in the disputed territories east of the Curzon Line, which contained a significant Polish minority."

Lenin, Trotzki, Piłsudski killed a lot of people because of ideology and nationalism.

Many years ago I did an analysis on how fast Imgur grew on Reddit: https://minimaxir.com/2017/06/imgur-decline/

Reddit adding its native hosting effectively kneecaped it, however, although from Imgur's perspective it's hard to say that's a bad thing since they just lose money on bandwidth. Since then, Imgur has been strongly pushing non-direct image links where they can show ads.
According to chatgpt:

> It is difficult to determine the exact first recorded numeronym, as they have likely been used informally for many years. However, one of the earliest known examples of a numeronym is the word "K9", which is a numeronym for "canine". It is believed that the term was first used by the United States military during World War II, as a way to refer to dogs that were used in military operations. The "K" represents the first letter of "canine", and the "9" represents the nine letters that follow it. Since then, numeronyms have become more common, especially in the technology and business industries.

I love how confident ChatGPT is in its incorrectness. When I pointed out that there are only 6 letters in the word canine, and that it starts with a “c” it responded with:

> I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that "canine" only has six letters and it starts with a "C". The numeronym "K9" represents the word "canine" by using the "K" to represent the sound of the first letter, "C", and "9" to represent the number of letters between "C" and "E".

Which is just amazing. Whole lotta letters between c and e apparently.

Big fan of pop music, mostly secular, from 1300s-1850s. Studying Bach manuscripts directly (or repros, as I had to settle for) indicated to me that publishers did a lot of guesswork over the years, some of it obviously wrong, but a bunch more of it just their best guess. I decided I was just ignorant about the number of errors I saw.

I managed to score a lunch with Yo-Yo Ma at a charity event a few years ago & was proven satisfyingly right. He had to make a ton judgment calls but found that over the years many errors have been introduced by publishers. Of course he was able to study the originals.

Also the British Museum will give almost anyone with a passport surprisingly liberal access to their collections. Traveled there from the US with my teenage kid only to find out the "almost" part, which is that you must be 18 or older. Understandable, but... sigh.
That's right, bcrypt2 - we also upgrade imported users passwords to this more secure hashing algorithm if they were previously using something less secure like md5. This is all done transparently on their first login with no impact to the user flow.

The self-service export is UI driven at the moment, as exporting passwords requires approval from an additional owner/admin for security. We could definitely extend this to be initiated by API though
Ever-increasing competition for each user challenges streaming platforms, broadcasters and operators to strive for the highest achievable video quality on all types of devices. To meet this goal many of them use various quality control systems based on objective metrics. PSNR, SSIM, and VMAF proved to be most widely used and in-demand metrics as shown by rich communication experience with clients in the video quality control filed.
> We can maybe guess, but we don't know. There's no data.

Nonsense. We have data that shows vaccine effectiveness wanes with time. We know boosters improve immunity. We've been giving out bivalent booster for over a year and we have data that they're effective.

> We have data that shows vaccine effectiveness wanes with time.

No, we don't. We have confounded, poorly controlled observational studies, and extrapolation from antibody titres.

> We know boosters improve immunity.

No, we don't. The necessary studies have never been done. Increasing antibodies for a while (in mice) does not equal "improving immunity" in humans.

> We've been giving out bivalent booster for over a year and we have data that they're effective.

Well, if you say so. But actually...no. Or you'd cite it, instead of just asserting things.

> Armchair scientists should leave the medical decisions to the professionals.

Such as Paul Offit, FDA VRBPAC member, co-creator of the Rotavirus vaccine, and director of the vaccine education center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia?

https://time.com/6246525/bivalent-booster-not-very-effective...

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2215780

> In his perspective piece, Offit cites data from two leading virologists—Dr. David Ho, director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at Columbia University, and Dr. Dan Barouch at Harvard Medical School—who reported that when serum from people boosted with the bivalent Omicron booster was compared to that from people boosted with a dose of the original vaccine, their levels of neutralizing antibodies against BA.4/5 were comparable. Ho’s work also showed that the bivalent booster did not produce appreciably different antibody responses against newer Omicron variants, such as BQ.1, BQ.1.1, XBB, and now XBB.1.5, which together account for 83% of new infections in the U.S. as of the first week of January.

These are for antibodies, mind you...the most reactive short-term signal to a booster vaccination. There's simply no good evidence backing these new vaccines. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know the data.
