I use it for my interactive-fiction backend and to host save files for another game.

Nothing fancy, just a web server getting file and saving them. Like a KV-storage.

I have deployed it to dogital ocean on 2017. I have not TOUCHED it since then. Still running good. And I can access the Pharo GUI via the web VNC just from my browser with full access to the IDE and dev env.

The cons: I forgot how to run that docker image. If it fails I am in troubles reminding myself how to run it one more time. 6 years have passed...
The cheesy, white-culture, corporate "comedy" of Google and Facebook over the years straddles the cringeworthy and sad. I wish they could just showcase the technology with some upbeat music and let the tech speak for itself. All these snarky people make me hate their product more. I now want to use ChatGPT more just to spite them.
Right, so, for example the long-termist says no need to worry about global warming, it'll just be a blip in the history of our species.

Meanwhile, the short-termist says, not need to worry about global warming, because it's not that big of a deal right now (they'll figure it later).

I mean, it's pretty obvious that either of these extremes is mistaken. When modeling these sorts of decisions (whether its in RL or in cost/reward analysis), choosing the "right" temporal discounting parameter is crucial. But what that parameter's value should be often comes down to values, morality, philosophy and ethics.

I think the author's fear of longtermism is misplaced, because longtermism is not really manifest anywhere in actual decision making. If anything, it might be used to mask what are actually short-termist motivations for doing short-sighted things (like continuing to rely on fossil-fuels).
I would agree. At least for some people. The act of trying to code something and failing and then failing again before I finally get it right is what I enjoy about coding. Sitting down to write code and it just works each and every time is boring. It's like writing boiler plate UI code. But... other people want to succeed quickly so they can show people they succeeded quickly. For them, ChatGPT is like a super power.

Edit: I've had conversations with people who write. We have come to an agreement that there are writers who love the process of writing. They want to BE writers. Then there are people who want to HAVE BEEN a writer. ChatGPT was meant for these people.

> And we're all narcissists... that's nature. It's such a pointless and empty statement.

I strongly disagree. Narcissistic personality disorder is very much real - I have diagnosed family members, and the way their mind works is completely different from one of a "normal" person. I can't quite explain it, but if you experienced it, I believe you'd know the difference.

You believing that makes me think that you either haven't had to deal with a real narcissist in your life, or are a narcissist yourself. The former is more likely, but I don't know you, so I can't speak with certainty.

He cut to the chase. Which is what he said.

The logical implications of genetics determining IQ is obvious.

If genetics can determine physical appearance and genetics groups many certain physical aspects into a collection of common features for a race then if genetics determines intelligence, by what black magic does this grouping suddenly stop at intelligence?

Are we saying genetics can make Asians all have black hair, brown eyes, a tendency of a smaller size and suddenly zero effect on intelligence? Doesn't seem logical.

Thus when someone brings up intelligence and genetics it is by inescapable logic that they are also saying something about race.

>People do not block youtube ads because workspace accounts don't work

Ohh me! Me! I do!

I was one of those people stupid enough to go along with Google Plus when it was still a thing. I had no problem with my account for that but didn't want my real name associated with my YouTube browsing habits. So I used the option that allowed me to keep my username in YouTube. Fast forward a few years and Google Plus goes away and somehow my YouTube account is some kind of brand account and Google needs me to verify that I am of age somehow. (As if they don't have this information already) But no matter what I do now somehow I need my administrator's account to approve my ability to watch YouTube uncensored.

So to make a long story short, after trying things constantly and getting no where I created an account for just YouTube videos and spam emails. I have absolutely no interest in giving Google any more than I absolutely have to in order to keep watching and will never give them money for YouTube. The whole thing is broken with no way to loop in an actual human being. Hell I even had people blaming me saying it was my own fault for using G+ (as if it was truly optional at the point this happened.)
Anyone who lived through the cultural zeitgeist in the US after 9/11 and the Bush Administration (and right wing media) attempts to normalize torture as "enhanced interrogation" and the like knows it isn't anomalous, it's part and parcel of the racist brutality of American imperialism that's usually hidden under its glossy Hollywood pop culture mask, and sometimes slips.
The key is probably explaining/creating something in a way that doesn't have a lot of latitude for just glossing over the details. I'm not sure long-form writing is especially better than giving a presentation to an audience or working through a problem/creating an artifact of some sort/etc. The key is that you can't just read something and go "Yeah yeah I totally get it." Though I suspect some outputs can be easier to handwave through than others--I know I've done it to some degree on presentations. ("This aspect is complicated and we don't have time to get into it today.")
It is not stealing. I am the ultimate arbiter of what data I accept to be downloaded and viewed on my computer. YouTube offers, free of charge, many pieces of data. I accept the ones I want and politely decline the ones I don't want.
But the context of this discussion is whether you should be allowed to watch YouTube without any ads. So that's a baseline of zero money per view.
The Economist doesn't do climate denial, they just do concern trolling wrt green energy. "Oh man look at how supply doesn't keep up with demand during the day" and they usually don't acknowledge that market incentives will lead to solutions like storage and arbitrage, because the user is meant to be left with the impression that green energy is a half-baked solution that wont work with our grid.

Nothing in this article is non-factual, but their primary purpose is as a propaganda piece. There isn't much intellectual value.

I'd say it's reasonable to list it as separate outages on the status page as it's really a representation of "is github available and working as expected". Even if it is the same issue, when they manage to mitigate it (or it goes away) I'd want to see that everything is now available from a user perspective.

That said, they're getting to the point where they really need to make some larger post about this. It seems reasonable to assume it is all from one root cause.
Maybe they should put CoPilot in charge of ops...
People contribute already without any monetary incentives, but it sure would help to have UBI. I'm not sure what part you're confused about, as it's not an "either/or" proposition.

That's not really the case here. Gain of function research can not be justified using this argument.

There are so many potential mutations that putting specific evolutionary pressure on a virus in order to "prevent" only those specific effects has such low efficacy considering the size of the problem space.

GOF research has provided very little in terms of benefits, and many argue it's simply been a way to disguise bioweapons research after the Geneva convention.

"It's only great because it's the only thing that's figured out how to do a hard thing really well" may be peak FOSS entitlement syndrome.

Meanwhile, btrfs has rapidly gone nowhere, and, if you read the comments to this PR, bcachefs would love to get to simply nowhere/btrfs status, but is still years away.

ZFS fulfills the core requirement of a filesystem, which is to store your data, such that when you read it back you can be assured it was the data you stored. It's amazing we continue to countenance systems that don't do this, simply because not fulfilling this core requirement was once considered acceptable.
I know NodeJS well but have never used PHP, but I can attest that using PM2 is a pain and node_modules deps issues can be a hair-pulling event. But the package.json scripts provide a simple and built-in way to run basic build tasks. There's always an ~~app~~package for that, no matter what "that" is. There are also tons of tutorials, examples, and snippets for everything you want to do to get up and running quickly. TBH I really enjoy working with Typescript, it really brings sanity to JS (as long as you are consistent with it) and Express is dead simple and just makes sense.

Would you mind sharing your insights into why one should go with modern PHP+Laravel instead of NodeJS+Express+Typescript? what does the PHP equivalent of pm2 load-balancing look like and how does it compare?
I would say that's wishful thinking. Using only captchas doesn't work anymore if you are specially targeted and also a reason why we are seeing nowadays a combination of sign-in/phone verification/captchas to combat the bot problematic.

Symfony is better for scaling apps, I have found. I know Laravel is built on top of Symfony, but Symfony scales out of the box much better, Laravel is still the framework of bespoke one off projects in my experience (used it for years). It does not excel at maintainability of large apps.

API Platform is really good for scaling CRUD endpoints too (its a Symfony project, or at least tightly Symfony adjacent)

Of course, this is my experience (albeit over many years) however I wanted to just throw out a worthy alternative people really should look at.
Show HN: UseLLM – Easily integrate large language models in your React app
I'd like to share useLLM, an open-source library I've been working on to help developers easily integrate large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT into their React applications.
useLLM is a simple React hook, with a server-side API helper, that allows you to add LLM-powered functionality to your app with just a few lines of code. It also supports message streaming & custom prompt creation out of the box.

You can try a live demo here: https://usellm.org/demo

The library is under active development, and we welcome bug reports, feature requests, and contributions. It currently supports OpenAI's chat completions API, and we plan to add more language models and APIs soon.
I'd be happy to answer any questions or discuss potential use cases.
When I last looked, it seemed like WASM blobs just take arrays of numbers and return arrays of numbers. No objects, strings, or DOM elements, so I think it'd be tough to do web dev in wasm as it stands. And you need javascript glue if you want anything in the way of side effects.

There is, however, quite a bit you can do in it. TeX has been compiled to wasm[1], it's about 600kb uncompressed 90k compressed (the memory image with latex loaded is about 6MB compressed though - latex is a beast). I think anything computationally intensive would be a good candidate for wasm (it has int64).

I find it odd even discussing it is taboo these days.

Even on a small scale its freaky. I have two kids, raised in the same house, largely with the same style but 2 years apart. Yet they are still entirely different. My oldest is more like her mother in personality and the way she works through stuggles, deals with issues, people etc. Eseentially the lens she views the world on. She has academically struggled, and we have had to work with her (and my wife) on how we deal with things that arent "easy" or overcoming not being a natural talent at things.

My son on the other hand is so much more like me its freaky. He has to know how things work, or the why something works etc. Hes able to pick up more binary/finite tasks quite quickly for his age and even manipulating things/working on things in 3d or problem solving he is beyond his years. I can buy him, at age 5, pretty complex LEGO sets, like the 1000 piece ages 7+ or 9+ setups and he can pretty much do them solo. My wife is straight up intimidated doing them with him.

Frankly im more worried about him socially as a result long term and I am doing my best not to project that onto him now as its not a problem yet, but I can see some of the struggles I had with blending in or assimilating socially being a problem too (and I had a TOTALLY different upbringing).

Ultimately I cant think of it being much more than they are just wired differently. They approach things and the world differently (but still similarly to the differences between my wife and I).

There's plenty of propaganda for the other side, the difference is that it doesn't get posted to HN. I don't see the value of posting propaganda on HN. There is very little substance to this article.

I think the real issue is the operating systems did not properly abstract away the APIs, protocols and networks. On plan 9 the dial string is my favorite part of networking because you optionally specify the network in addition to the address and port in the form of a string: net!address!service. To dial an ssh server on port 1234 you run "ssh user@tcp!server.net!1234". The network database (ndb) can then be setup to alias names with protocols or ports so you can omit parts of the dial string for known services e.g. ssh defaults to tcp and port 22. The dial string neatly wraps up the entire network connection into a single string alleviating the program from having to offer command line arguments for port numbers which leaks protocol details into the code making things ugly and difficult to change.

This lets your server take a dial string and listen on any network - even if that network isn't IP! So say you wanted to bring IPX/SPX back from the dead and use it in any program: so you write an IPX/SPX stack that binds over /net, then tell your server to listen on spx!*!555. Now your client also runs an IPX/SPX stack bound over /net and you hand the client program the dial string spx!server!555 and your program starts communicating over IPX/SPX to the server. Done. Want to use connect to an ssh server using quic on plan 9 (Assuming an imaginary quic stack)? just change the dial string to quic!host!port. Done.

Once you use an OS with clean and simple abstractions you are left craving more of it. I wish more people took an interest in building much more radical operating systems.
Everything use to be consolidated with Cable companies, then it was Cable and Netflix, then went to 100s of apps which is a nightmare. As all probably could have predicted like the universe it's starting to contract again. First with HBO and Discovery merging their apps, and now Disney and Hulu in the US at least.

While there are downsides to consolidating of course, there are far too many currently and hopefully more merge together, or AppleTV and others become better at providing a UI that merges them all together for the user, but of course that is counter to what each company whats, notably Netflix among others.

Hulu Live, is such a different app that Disney, so will be interesting to see how those two merge.

Look up the nordic, and reverse nordic curls, and tibialis raises and TKE exercises. There is a youtuber who has popularized them (kneesovertoesguy). I've found they help me immensely when it comes to stiffness/soreness in my knee (had knee surgery a year ago). If I was better about it I would be more regular about doing these exercises regularly, but alas I am too lazy. (I also have flat foot issue and found "racing flats" with not too thick soles to be my ideal, even running marathons).
Criticism of Microsoft
It's almost entirely static (or at least server rendered) even all the SVG graphs. I'm going to take punt and say it's a static pre-rendered flat file based on the response time.
Using the Disney app is kinda weird. As "Disney" I expect it to be used mostly for children's fare. But they own a lot of stuff now, many of which isn't "Disney" except in the conglomerate sense.

I don't know if Disney branding on it all really makes sense. Nobody cares that Star Wars and Marvel are "Disney" properties. I'm reminded a bit of the "We're Beatrice" campaign back in the 90s. Nobody cared that you could get underwear, rental cars, and peanut butter with the same brand.

Disney is the bigger name overall, but I wonder if they'd be better doing it the other way: Disney for the kids' stuff, and Hulu for everything else. Not that Hulu is a great brand right now, but maybe it could be if it had vast amounts of really great content.

Regardless, they need some kind of Disney Kids app that parents can safely install and hand off to children. I imagine that Disney app has a mode for that already, but it would be easier if it had a distinct icon.
