they typically don’t. this seems to be why many of the users prefer it. i think i generally agree with them—it leads to a different style of interaction. i haven’t figured out yet how to elequently describe it, but the interactions and experience is entirely different from a for-profit site. it feels “more pure” or something (though i do recognize why description is inadequate.)

when “how do we monetize this?” becomes the driving force of a social thing, the experience changes in very real ways.

How could a British journalist know, with any degree of credulity, what share of the national wealth was owned by Jewish people in Nazi Germany in 1938? The same government that massacred millions of Jews a few years later would have happily lied about Jewish wealth to justify their actions.

Mistakes are human, sure.

But companies love to put labels on things like this with seemingly little thought.

Offering something for free with the 'forever' label on it is I believe deliberate - trying to distance themselves from others who have offered a free plan, but either pulled the rug once they got popular, or snuck in conditions or time limits.

If they had withdrawn the free plan from new customers, but grandfathered in existing users they would have kept their promise and earned at least some good-will.
I can't believe they're still selling so many iPhones. $220 billion yearly revenue is at least 220 million iPhones sold a year. Where are all these people buying new iPhones? I don't think they're really gaining market share in the US at least, so unless it's overseas market share growing people are just replacing their perfectly good phones from a few years ago for reasons I can't comprehend. I mean that's 3 out of every 100 people in the world buying an iPhone just in the last year.

What if we need the same backend to be usable by more than one client? What if those clients aren't even a SPA, but a wrapper library, or a native app? What if we need internal scripts that manage the content in the backend using the same API? What if we need to redesign the client without touching the backend?

HTMX doesn't address any of that. YAGNI is often only true for the original developers, not everyone else who has to maintain it long term.

And once they do enough animal testing, they can figure out a reasonable estimate for the danger.

And they've probably done enough for that.

The real barrier here is whether it's considered safe enough to let people volunteer, not just whether they can estimate the level of safety.

There's a big range of experiments where informed consent is possible but it's not allowed because it's too dangerous. I think this testing is probably in that range. And anything in that range is not a matter of "capital E Evil". Evil is when you're not getting consent, or similar.
I’ve never said it was the same. Somewhat comparable. In practice bridge is likely more expensive, if you take in the externalities accumulated over the lifespan of the bridge full of cars.

Engineering costs its a matter of volume, what kind of ground you need to dig, expertise and experience. If you can get something like the Boring company up, costs would drop down.

And engineering costs don’t account for externalities of having a bridge full of noisy cars hanging there, polluting in every modality: view, noise, smell, splitting the neighborhood, reducing walkability, destroying the property value.
Lots of recent studies on this. Reasons are interesting:

No.

idea: linked parameters / models tree

build a model that can change the number of parameters in the vicinity of some meaning, effectively increasing the local resolution around that meaning

so parameter space becomes linked-parameter space, between models

links could be pruned based on activation frequency

another way of seeing the concept is a tree of models/llms

and one additional model/llm that all it does is manage the tree (ie. build it as it goes, use it to infer, prune it, etc)

Or is it too dumb what I’m saying?

Only inhumane action has doomed our climate.

Before "microservices" there are services, which are also composable. And in the realm of monoliths there are also modules. Which are the key to composability.

What microservices give you is a hard boundary that you cannot cross (though you can weaken it, you cannot eliminate it) between modules. This means the internal state of a module now has to be explicitly and more deliberately exposed rather than merely bypassed by lack of access control, or someone swapping out public for private, or capitalizing a name in Go. If there's any real benefit of microservices, this is it. The hard(er) boundary between modules. But it's not novel, we've had that concept since the days of COBOL. And hardware engineers have had the concept even longer.

The challenge in monoliths is that the boundary is so easily breached, and it will be over time because of expedient choices rather than deliberate, thoughtful choices.

Comments like this remind me how profoundly isolated HN is from any of the digital arts, or even art at all.

I have friends and family who are suffering complete existential crisis because their lifelong careers - which they have been studying since childhood, then many more years in college - are being erased.

Even if you have other means to financially support yourself, a deep core pillar of your identity, the skills and work you take pride in, how you found meaning in life both in decades past and anticipated decades to come, no longer matters. In a very total and all-encompassing way. Being made as trivial and meaningless as waves in the ocean.

Pay per second Linux boxes with public IPs. A lot of the VPS/server hosts I used in the past took minutes to boot an instance and billed you by the hour (or maybe by the month, although that was uncommon), not so with EC2.

There’s much less value if you never need to scale of course, which is true of 90% of businesses. But doing a dumb experiment on a 10 cent spot instance for an hour where it would’ve taken a week to arrange space on the company VMWare box? That is awesome.
I feel like there's two sides to this. On one hand, I agree with Zulip: don't make promises you're not sure can keep. On the other, you also shouldn't believe promises if the person making them is obviously not in a position to guarantee.

Example: suppose I offer you free email hosting "forever". Should you believe me? What if I go out of business? Well, in that case, I can at least ensure that your email address gets transferred to a different provider, so I'll still have kept my promise. So maybe this particular promise is believable.

But that only works because email is more or less a standard so there are many providers. Suppose I offer something that no one else does. Can you trust my promise that it will be "free forever"? Clearly, if I go out of business, then no.

Can I at least make a conditional promise that it will be free "as long as I'm in business"? But suppose I'm a month from bankruptcy, and my accountant tells me that getting rid of my free tier would save me. Surely, it's better for my free users to lose service rather than ALL my users losing service. So, unless you're sure I'd never be in that situation, you shouldn't believe me when I say "as long as I'm business this will be free".

Okay, how about a vague promise like "this service will keep its free tier around unless the business is in a desperate situation of some kind"? That's a promise that I could indeed keep, if I decide it's important enough... unless... how sure are you that I'll remain in full control of what is currently "my" business? What if I take my company public? I might then be kicked out by the board. (It happened to Steve Jobs, right?) So either my "free forever" promise means I'm not allowed to go public, or at least I need to do some very careful legal acrobatics to ensure that the board can't go back on my promise, even if they kick me out.

Still, if you find yourself needing to break a promise you made about "forever" a mere month after you made it, you should probably at least apologize instead of just hoping that no one remembers that you ever made such a promise. Chances are, they will indeed remember. If "it's the right thing to do" is not enough motivation, then do it for the brownie points, you'll get more of them this way. ("Who cares about brownie points?" you ask? Well, clearly, if they weren't worried about brownie points then they wouldn't be playing this weird game of "let's pretend we never said the forever".)
There is a Telegram bot that worked fine till date. I found it on HN itself.

https://t.me/hn_replies_bot

An unrelated tip, an official Gmail bot exists in Telegram for those who want to declutter ads and stuff - https://t.me/gmailbot

Unfortunately, it goes radio silent on recursively discussed replies between any other people who took heated debate under your reply.

I hope there is also a ChatGPT service which summarizes each HN comment with its own input and backing up with citation of its criticism/opinion. That makes spirit of HN eat magic mushrooms and steroids. To avoid it being an intrusive eye-sore, we should hover over a symbol at the end of each comment which pops up those paragraphs.

A private internet company can employ foreign workers, pay foreign taxes, award dividends to foreign owners, and after all that, can be just as corrupt and expensive as a tax-funded service!

Thanks for the feedback! The product is still very, very early, so we don't have a lot of marketing or documentation.
