React isnt a SPA framework. It’s a component framework. It has no router or even state management. ExtJs is an Mvc framework in JavaScript and can be used to create a full spa app without additional libraries. It also came out in 2007. There is also ember that also predates react and is another mvc framework by the people who did rails.
This is good. Remove.bg is pretty much the gold standard of background removal services due to it's nearly flawless detection of lines separating foreground from the background. But it is a paid service, there are other 2 free services that I have used occasionally when I have needed to remove background which allow download of full sized image after removing the background.

Adobe is by the best for free services which allows downloading full size transparent image. I compared your tool with the other 3. The results can be seen at https://i.imgur.com/RQT28yp.jpg

I will download this and try to build myself. Thanks for making it open source.
The Celsius scale is an "interval scale" while the Kelvin scale is a "ratio scale". One cannot take ratios of Celsius values as ratios are not even defined for that.

> we charge a small fee to use Grasp.

Do you consider $15/mo small?
These seems reasonable, but I don't think the math holds up. A 2016 study (http://www.columbia.edu/~ja3041/Electric%20Bus%20Analysis%20...) showed the lifetime cost (including maintenance) of a bus for its 12 year useful lifespan to be $1.4 million. Without even doing the inflation adjustment, that could buy at least 12 electric vehicles. Those 12 vehicles could be much more efficient even running on a single fixed bus route (i.e. more frequent schedule), or (more likely) operating like taxis by taking people to and from exactly where they want to go.
Do we always need non anecdotal data to support every assertion that we make?

I've had many face to face conversations in a room with a whiteboard that couldn't have happened nearly as efficiently if everyone was remote.

Now I do think that the push against work from home in general has very little to do with operating efficiency (if companies cared that much about operating efficiency they wouldn't have developers working in loud open plan offices, drowning out the world around them with headphones), but the argument that there's no utility in face to face meetings is just as meritless.
Haven't really considered that. I guess the problem is conversion loss. If we're making some sort of fuel at power generation points, why not use that fuel in cars instead of doing another conversion back to electricity? We could make hydrogen or even synthetic gas/diesel and just keep the cars we already have.
The Russians have already indicated an intention to pull out. Plus, current politics (perhaps, that should read "war") makes continuing to work with Russia troublesome. What is the consortium meant to do, purchase Russia's modules?

How good was the process?

I've had GPT3.5 teach me how to make a watchOS application to control a BLE device, and after a couple evenings I have one working on my watch right now.

On the bright side, it gave some concrete hands-on guidance that I just wasn't been able to get from Apple documentation. It quickly gave me enough pointers to make things click in my head. While I've never wrote a single line for any Apple ecosystem before, I have a fair amount of experiences in various other niches, so I just needed a crash-course introduction showing me the ropes until I start to see the similarities with things I already know about - and it gave me exactly what I wanted. Unlike beginner "write your first app" blog articles, this crash course was tailored specifically to my requirements, which is incredibly helpful.

However, on the downside, the code it wrote was awful, lacking any design. It gave me enough to get familiar with Swift syntax and how to setup CoreBluetooth, but the overall architecture was non-existent - just some spaghetti that kind-of worked (save for some bugs that were easier to fix on my own than explain to GPT) in my described happy scenario. It was like a junior developer would've grabbed some pieces from StackOverflow. In my attempts to bring things to order, I've hit a knowledge cutoff barrier (it has no clue about latest Swift with new its async syntax or Xcode 14 specifics - as a few things were moved around) and heavy hallucinations (ChatGPT actively trying to refer to various classes and methods that never existed).

Still, I'm impressed. Not a replacement for a developer, but definitely a huge boon. Wonder what others' experiences and opinions are.
Great questions, and I don’t have the answers. I’ll definitely look into it though.
Isn't Matrix protocol basically JSON-over-HTTPS? After TLS connection is negotiated, nodes in the middle have no idea what's going across the wire.

E2E encryption simply means that not even Matrix servers can decrypt messages.

Sure, you can track connections to existing, well known Matrix servers and act as a HTTPS client to figure out if a server is a Matrix server, but you can make it appear as any web server I guess.

You'd probably need to make it not respond to Matrix requests from unknown peers if you want to hide it, so you are right that one could easily block most of publicly accessible Matrix network for sure.

I think in the case of "serverless" we still share a common understanding of what the term means, even if the term itself is misleading. This "comprised of" issue is different in that it can easily cause misunderstanding between archaic and modern users of the phrase, where meaning is inverted.
> Musicians need to know the sharps and flats in different keys in order to transpose

> Testing scales tests all of these things

I don't see how testing scales tests knowing the sharps and flats really. If you're playing all the (major) scales on a string instrument, it's all about starting on the right note, and then doing the scale pattern: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. On a guitar, half is one fret and whole is two, and you need to know how to jump to the next string if you don't want to just walk the length of the fretboard. I've never played a wind instrument, but I understand those tend to be tuned to play in certain keys and it can be akward to play in others, and keyboards are setup for c-major, so it takes some practice to get the sense of where the whole and half tones are for other keys, but the example of guitar is not hard. If you can play guitar and have a week to practice it, you should be able to play any major/minor scale on demand.

If you can play the scale, you can probably take the time and think the sharps and flats, but that doesn't really mean you know them, IMHO.
ChatGPT is a junior developer whose knowledge is broad but shallow.
SEEKING WORK - Primarily Remote from Thailand, with potential for short on-site trips if necessary

17 years experience across a mixture of Ops/Infrastructure/Dev-Tools and web application architecture and development, with a focus on solving unique/uncommon problems.

I’m looking for opportunities to help companies with backend/server-side architecture & development (primarily PHP MVC), system integration and/or server infrastructure setup/maintenance.

I mostly work remotely from Thailand, on a reasonably flexible schedule (I can schedule work hours to get overlap with most other timezones when required) but on-site visits to pretty much anywhere are a possibility if required too.

Contact me via email (in my profile) if you want to have a chat about what you’re working on!
Besides copyright ambiguity, I think a big problem will be security: someone that knows the tech stack and the business model in detail of a bank app, for example, that was generated with ChatGpt would be able to use ChatGpt to generate for him the same (or similar) code. This would turn any ChatGtp app almost in an open source app, no? And once you know the details of the implementation it's easier to find the security holes in it.

> but it seems to me that most people don't enjoy driving at all.

While many people don't enjoy driving, many people do prefer cars as a mode of transit. Don't assume that people "don't like cars", whether or not they like driving as an activity. People overwhelmingly prefer cars.

> if the fastest option is public transit more often than not

That's a very high bar to reach. And you also have to take into account the hassle of transit not actually getting you where you want to be. It's one thing to have a transit system that can get you between cities or to a large general area; it's another to have a transit system that can get you from an arbitrary door to an arbitrary door, which a car can do.
Airbus is also using either seL4 or some other microkernels in aerospace applications.
Just because he's a hypocrite doesn't mean he's wrong in this instance.
Autonomous vehicles will not make cycling or walking next to much faster multi-ton vehicles more pleasant, even if those vehicles are less likely to kill you. I mean, have you walked along even a 35mph road with significant traffic? It's extremely unpleasant due to the noise and air pollution.

In fact, today the area around elevated freeways is often much cheaper than the surrounding area for several blocks.
It won, which makes it a huge huge target. What's the adage? "How to know if you're popular: you have haters."

Most other ecosystems are much much much much smaller. Which is a huge advantage in many many many ways. People love being able to rank up & establish themselves visibly or invisibly in a position.

But there's no central JS world to stay established in. It's fractured as heck. There's the "Rails is Omakase" way of development, all paved paths, and there's hundreds of JS things that purport to do that, but JS itself is a much vaster much diverser ecosystem.

JS also is so much different from most development. Code ideall is second fiddle, is a helper to the lead, HTML. It's a very different mode than what developers are used to, and many have a hard time loosening up & seeing how great it can be, many don't grasp the power value & possibility, and worse, don't appreciate how meaningful it is to have not just running code, but a protocol based hypermedium, that enables creative usersscripting & malleability.

People also love to take digs at the historical roots as a quick & dirty language. More easy at hand ammo, more stones to throw. Two things on that. In opposite direcions.

Developers are terrified languages might not matter that much, that they might be more alike. We want our niche cool hipster language that we love to matter, to be really important, and there's the threat that something imperfect might actually be good delegitimizes our faith that language is so important.

In the opposite direction, historical mudslinging ignores that this has been one of the best invested in best cared for best grown languages. ESM is good, we just still hate it having a fractured messy ecosystem, where our most popular testing library Jest & dozens of other critical tools still have trash/no ESM support. That's our fault not JS. I fell totally the other side of chain/spawn for promises versus what we got (rank betrayal of JS being a first class system to say promises aren't really objects, just future values, terrible decision, poor governance picking limited unrepresentative choice) but in async/await is still glorious. The itches get scratched. It's become a really solid language. With typescript it leads the pack as a typed optional language too, something everyone else (python, Elixer) are trying to adapt to. JS evolved so well, and there's few real perils, in spite of the boogeyman under the bed horror that "Wat" era anti-JS radicalism tried to frighten us with.

Whether folks are open to & thrive in ambiguity & openness is a huge personality difference that I think governs so much of how people fair here. A lot is just culture, bandwagons, having wagons to circle & enemies to call out, simple tribalism. But JS is as big as everything else put together at this point, practically, and with less clarity & directness in most circumstances, more pick & choose. Perl was the first post-modern programming language & it made a lot of people very upset, but JS is the second & most successful, has become the lead post-modern world. http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.html
The application is also constructed in a way that lets you call the internals directly. I ended up building a few bookmarklets that:

- Call the "the make a clip button got pressed" function a few thousand times

- Monitored the opacity of the quantum compute section and automatically called the right bits when they'd be most effective and never when they'd be ineffective or counterproductive

- Automatically calls the "entertain" bits when the swarm gets "bored" for maximum AFK-ability

- In the late late late game, allow factory production for only the length of a single setTimeout as to not overproduce factories and throw the entire balance off
So it does! Neat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage
Maybe "managerial" is a better criteria than "white collar" ? US culture has long preached that you are a stupid sucker if you perform direct work. The common sense recommendation for being successful is to seek out a meta position - directing poorly paid less skilled/educated/powerful people under yourself, and taking some of their production for yourself.

With information technology as the substrate, the meta-managerial class has continued to grow in size as ever more meta-managerial layers have been created (real world software bloat), allowing this type of success to be seen as a viable path for all.*

The meta-managerial positions and the upper class had a symbiotic relationship, with the upper class needing the meta-bureaucracy to keep everyone in line - some human-simulating-a-computer has to answer the phone to deny you health care. But LLMs simulating humans-simulating-computers would seem to be a direct replacement for many of these meta positions.

provably-correct microkernels like seL4 are popular for "cross-domain solutions" that simultaneously handle unclassified and classified information while ensuring separation. NSA requirements for such systems are strict and right now most of the options are commercial, like BAE XTS-400. More defense contractors are looking towards seL4 and the NSA seems to be encouraging it for the benefit of a shared, open-source platform across these specialized projects.

I believe seL4 is also used for the firmware on Qualcomm modems now, but it's a little hard to follow if they've switched from OKL4 which was a related project.
"Radio" would be a proper replacement for "wireless".

Possible, but this behavior would get you immediately perma-banned by the vehicle operators because they 1) know who you are before you enter the vehicle 2) Have video recording of the vehicle, before, during, and after your ride. If the cameras didn't record some damage (smell?) to the vehicle, it's likely the next passenger would report it.

The interesting thing about wristwatches is that the digital age was indeed not kind to 90% of them, but in many ways the “quartz crisis” actually forced the survivors to pivot into being wealth signals.

I don't think so. Ultimately there's not enough information in prompts to produce "correct" code. And any attempt to deliver more information will result in a worse programming language, or as it is now, more iterations.

It's only kinda modular. The core modules would be rather difficult to separate, and replacing them would probably cost as much or more than a new station. And many of them are Russian, which is a problem for a whole host of reasons.
My sense is that this is in its early stages as this was the first gathering of that group of folks. I imagine some good dialogue and collaborations are coming out of it, and we might see the results of that in a year or two.

EVs are actually phasing out both brake particle emmissions and brake fluid, by returning to "drum brakes" when regen isn't enough.

https://www.continental.com/en/press/studies-publications/te...

> The drum brake offers even further attractions, the environmental particulate emissions are vastly reduced when compared to the traditional disc brake system technology, that will bring upcoming decisive decisions to comply with increasingly stricter environmental requirements. While combustion engines have had to comply with increasingly stringent emission limits in recent years, the focus has now widened to include foundation brakes. The fine brake dust generated from the brake system can have far-reaching adverse effects on human health, depending on the size of the particles emitted. Experts expect stricter legal requirements from the EU Commission by 2025 at the latest. Drum brake technology takes advantage of the enclosed housing system, allowing the brake dust particulates to be accumulated within the enclosed system that can be collected and disposed in a controlled manner that protects the environment.
