Not to knock the amazing contributions of Tim, but IMHO Gopher and HyperCard had already laid a lot of the important concepts down in various suboptimal ways. I think there were enough smart people using both in the 90s that it was virtually inevitable that something like Tim's work was bound to arise somewhere, somehow, as a merger of and improvement on those two sets of ideas.
Never a smart move? It's been the best performing asset like clockwork 3 out of every 4 years since inception, in time with the Bitcoin halving cycles.

Am I the only who finds RxJS to be really unintuitive?

I never had any issues in the past with futures/promises libraries, but for some reason I can never remember how to use RxJS.
I stole it from someone else first, and I'm sorry to say I can't remember who.

Lit also requires no build step and is shipped only as standard JS modules. It also uses file extensions in all imports so that the required import map to access all files is very short (one index map + one prefix map * 4 core packages). See https://lit.dev
Hopefully ngcc being dead makes build/CI times go down. It's real bad :(

I dunno. Once in a while you see a game like Doom 3 or Record of Agarest War that sells for $10 or so, but I think that’s pretty unusual. (The publisher of Agarest is obsessive about looking for co-promotional deals, they probably got some kind of kickback for being early to get a console game on Android.)
First of all, if you want to compare actual growth, you'll need a logarithmic scale. Second, if you add in alternatives like Vue.js, you'll realize React dwarfs both Angular and Vue.js, yet I don't see anyone on HN claiming "Vue is dying".
This seems like a bad take. If aliens can traverse lightspeed distances with sufficient ease to stop here, it seems trivial they'd also be able to analyse comparatively primitive sensor technology and navigate out of range to avoid identification.

One of the things you'd see those guides mention a lot is the call to action. The bad guys want you to do something for them, otherwise they wouldn't send you email.

In contrast the Google email you're complaining about says, "No action is required from you" which is my favourite type of letter from every company. Can I forget all about this and take no action? You bet I can.

My experience with libraries built by the community. Libraries for react have much higher quality than angular libraries. I usually fix the hard bugs in our team, and therefore read a lot of library code on GitHub. Usually react libraries impress me and angular libraries are often rather underwhelming. Highly subjective opinion though.

The huge difference is that Fortran defaults to what is in C restrict pointers -- non-overlapping memory regions.

This is something most programmers have not even heard about...

This means simple Fortran programs have more room for parallelizing optimizing compilers than C programs (without restrict annotations).

I think of the good things to get a sense of with ChatGPT is the types of areas where it is most and least likely to confabulate. If I asked it for an ELI5 about key concepts relating to how LLMs work, I would be highly confident it would be accurate. When you start asking about truly esoteric topics, that's when it often starts completely making things up.
One hopes it's more like PNG for LLMs ?
Ask HN: Where do I begin studying to run LLMs locally or in a private cloud?
Where do I begin studying if my goal is to run LLMs locally or in a private cloud with solid software engineering practices? I am unsure of where to even begin.

Let's say I want to:

0.) Find the locally run LLMs and identify which are applicable.
1.) Containerize the LLMs
2.) Use source control to capture changes to the LLM. Versioning output.
3.) Develop repeatable pipelines driven by APIs for sending data to it.
4.) Prompt engineering.
5.) Best ways to use langchain (or others) to make the system data-aware and agentic.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
It's not very different from using python to hook C/Fortran libraries together.

> You are right that I'm talking about the quantity of goods demanded

Right, that's different than demand. Demand is the function mapping price to quantity demanded (just as supply is the function mapping price to quantity supplied.)

There are things that shift demand, but price changes resulting in a different quantity demanded are not evidence of shifts in demand, just evidence of a normal shape of demand curve (which is not to say that price conditions over time don’t shift actual demand, that’s just a more complicated thing to demonstrate.)

>are simply a linguistic sleight of hand masking a plain old dualistic standpoint

Are you assuming that dualism is invalid? If so, why? There is something to the distinction between physical reality and subjective experience that so far no-one has managed to explain.

>I can easily imagine a complete physicalist explanation of consciousness which would still not lead to a valid answer of "what is it like to be a bat"

Then it would not be a complete physicalist explanation of consciousness. A complete physicalist explanation of consciousness, by definition, would have to account for subjective experience/qualia/whatever you want to call it.
Yeah unfortunately hard to tell. I’m not too far displaced from the “decade long” time window they discussed (though I was definitely done with 8th grade before that), but I suppose it’s hard to get a good idea unless you’re an educator who’s been in the field long enough. I wonder if possibly it has to do with attention spans. Smart phones and tangential technologies were basically established in the timeframe no? They’ve done pretty well to ruin my attention span even as an adult.
I wish Angular had a good meta framework like next
If you look at the actual data ( https://s29.q4cdn.com/435878511/files/doc_presentations/2023... ), 0.6% with the vaccine had a grade 3 fever, compared to 0.4% of placebo.

The population in question is 60+ or 70+. RSV can be very significant in that population, even in young kids, it is a virus that shuts down schools. The author is a well known anti-vax guy, so I’d assume he’s presenting the most negative scenario possible.

Exactly my experience. I often ask why angular was chosen for the task, and usually the answer is: because the architect put it on the slides, and because we hire angular developers.

> Dumping unfinished, unpolished, unmaintained, and potentially badly designed or even insecure projects onto the internet is not benefitting anyone.

I have to disagree on this take. Almost all code dumping is useful since you can always learn something from it (either a new technique or stuff TO NOT DO...).
What is important is to state the status of the project. If someone is still using the project and having difficulties with it even if you added a disclaimer, then it is their problem, and they should not expect any support (unless your license requires so)...

> But if you get a pull request, then someone else has spent time on your project, and just throwing that away is not good.

Sure, but once again communication is key here. I absolutely understands maintainers that do not have a look at merge requests but let them open.
It allows anyone with the same problem to easily search in opened issues/merge requests and find the patch, which may help them (even if it is not in the "main" remote).

> I ended up completely dropping out of that project as a way of preserving my mental health. In fact, I dropped out of all my (F)OSS projects, and I even deleted some of my “code dump” projects on GitHub.

Hope you feel better now.
So with first party sets is this suggesting that Google can declare doubleclick.com as a "trusted first party" and undermine any ability to allow Google.com and YouTube.com cookies but block their 3rd party ad tracker?

>The WGA proposed to regulate the use of artificial intelligence on union projects, saying that AI can’t write or rewrite literary material,

First, the literal wording of this is also means Grammarly and translation applications cannot be used.

Second, the enforcement of this is very unclear. What happens if a film is halfway through production, and then gasp it turns out a writer rewrote the screenplay using AI? You can't use AI as source material, so arguably any use of that script or any work based off that script is "using AI as source material". Does the production just have to be cancelled? There's a problem here not only with proving that a writer DID use an AI, but proving that they DIDN'T and thus a production doesn't need to be burned to the ground.

Third, how far do you take this? AI even before ChatGPT and LLM's is already broadly prevalent in writing, so what exactly establishes the pedigree of something as clean from the influence of vile AI?

>It’s very easy to imagine a situation in which a studio uses AI to generate ideas or drafts, claims those ideas are ‘source material,’ and hires a writer to polish it up for a lower rate.

It's even easier to imagine a studio will simply continue hiring writers and buying drafts from writers using AIs. How can you possibly prove an idea came from an AI and not a person in the first place?

>can’t be used as source material or to train AI.

How many studios are actually going to train their own AIs? What stops a studio or contractor from using an AI trained on such source material? Wouldn't it be more prudent to ban the use of AIs which were trained on WGA materials?

This entire proposal seems to be based on the populist sentiment about creatives being the victims of both studios and AIs, so obviously we need to stop the studios from using AIs by banning AI usage in film productions. The problem is that the writers are the users of AIs and they're the only ones who know and can prove they used an AI in practice.

I'm sure it's good politics because it leads to headlines like "GPT-4 Can’t Replace Striking TV Writers, but Studios Are Going to Try".
Cool idea about the NFC ring. Is there anything like that now? Any application?
The same reason why there aren’t in theoretical physics.

A child can certainly talk about “philosophy” (it pains me to think about the hippie school that is always asking children in groups to come up with profound ideas, the kids are clueless and feel stressed out by this, when one of them blurts something out the adults all clap mindlessly) but to contribute usefully at the professional level you are going to have to know what’s come before and that takes years.

> it feels disingenuous to state "Firefox is unusably slow" without noting that it appears to be some specific interaction between Firefox and your network.

I don't think it's disingenuous because it's only Firefox that has this issue. Every other browser is fine.

I think there's an edge-condition bug in Firefox that I'm triggering that causes this. I've spent quite a while trying to work this out before giving up entirely. However -- since it's really not at all hard to find people who have performance problems with Firefox generally, there is something going on with it. And it's something that (based on interactions with the dev team) Mozilla seems not willing to worry much about.

All that said, I try very hard to be fair to Mozilla and Firefox, in part because I've been a huge backer of Firefox since the very beginning, and still care.
It wasn’t dominant but it was there. It was where I was. Not just for a sub period.

Though if they'd wanted to have sex with underage girls, hanging out with a guy convicted of it who has a private island might be one way to go about it.

But the risk of getting caught would be very high.

Besides that the reputational risk of hanging out with convicted sex offenders is high enough that one should want not to do that.
basically, no

web1 and web2 were equally "centralized", the only difference was the scope of their centralized actors

web3 is "decentralized" in a way that is effectively meaningless, trust still exists, authorities still exist, the only difference is that those centralized actors are no longer bound by rules or regulations
Argh.

Passwords are amazing. I loathe many of the attempts at replacing them simply because the _average_ user has proven to be unable to manage them.

The three factors of authentication are a thing because they all protect against somewhat orthogonal threat vectors.

Possession "have" is nice because it binds the authentication to a single thing in the real world (as opposed to some digital thing that can be copied endlessly). Biometrics, if nice, is something that is relatively unique and always carried with you (mostly identification), and bind the factor to a person, secrets like passwords are nice because they essentially bind the factor to the intent, in that a user displays their secret behaviour (of which passwords are one) as opposed to not displaying the behaviour.

Articles that solely focus on the downsides of passwords, often neglect downsides of the other factor types. What are ways the strong personal binding of the "are" factor can be abused if there is no intent? FaceID/TouchID on sleeping or otherwise inattentive persons is a prime one.

All factor-types can work in ways that complement eachother. Removing or at least weakening passwords is not a good way forward, we need to work on fusing all the factor-types jnto a single strong 3-factor auth
All great comments, thank you! I feel the need to reply, even though there isn't a real need to, but here goes:

1. True; but in this case we're talking about bash specifically, so I prefer to use cleaner syntax whenever this is available. I find ${var+x} a bit too hacky ...

2. Huh, I was under the impression that bespoke commands overrode builtins. Good to know. What the hell is even the reason to have a 'builtin' keyword then ... just for "alias test=/usr/bin/test" style scenarios??

3. True about $#. Not sure why I didn't think of that, d'oh.

4. Thanks re Shellcheck. I do have it in mind, and was planning to use it prior to releasing a v1; but process_optargs came out of a larger project which is still in v0 (https://git.sr.ht/~tpapastylianou/bashtickets), and I only forked it into its own thing because someone asked me about it on HN, so I lost track. Thanks for the reminder. Having said that, I can't see why the error you describe would occur in this instance. Would you mind explaining? Why would the presence of a single-letter filename have anything to do with the piped output to tr?

5. Good point about printf (or about habitually passing "--" as an argument to things, I guess).

First party sets are a centralized list of sites that act as one logical site. The list is gated by the browser vendor. Details here (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/first-party-sets/blob/main/F...).

This is intended to deal with several technical challenges (https://github.com/WICG/first-party-sets#use-cases), such as the technical challenge that when company A buys company B, the process of fusing the auth rules so that being logged into A implies a login to B is a colossal nightmare project under first-party-only rules. So, for example, this lets Facebook declare that instagram.com is in the same FPS as facebook.com to simplify the auth story. What it should not allow is for joe-random-domain.com to declare that the DoubleClick ad endpoints are first-party to them.
C# is great. If only they hadn't made it windows only from the get go there might be a huge ecosystem supporting it instead of java.
Yes, indeed :) Didn’t want to muddy the waters with vector instructions, and it’s fair to say that the dedicated DSP chip market has been squeezed by FPGAs on one side and vectorised (even lightly, like the Cortex-M4/M7 DSP extension) CPUs on the other.
So then:

If your app needs CUDA, you'd need to write it in CUDA.

If you don't need CUDA, you'd write it for WebGPU instead?

If you benefit from CUDA but don't strictly require it, then you can write it in CUDA with a WebGPU fallback.

Is that right?

no it's the curse of semi-13" laptops

their 16" laptop doesn't have this problem

they could produce a keyboard where right shift is smaller and you have a full up key but UP/DOWN would still be missing and moving the key further down would lead to other ergonomic problems

You can work around this by switching some function keys with UP/DOWN (or POS1/END or both).

e.g. in a custom XKB key map (you can just extend e.g us, place it under .config/xkb/symbols) you can use following to switch Pos1/End and F9/F10:

key <FK09> { [ Home, Home ] };

key <FK10> { [ End, End ] };

key <HOME> { [ F9, F9 ] };

key <END> { [ F10, F10 ] };
