> isn't HN supposed to exercise reason and logic, and not just ride the waves of hype and disillusionment like the less-tech-savvy public?

No. This is a finance site, reason and logic has absolutely no bearing on these people once you tease infinite returns like this. Sam Altman just waved AI demos in front of Microsoft's face and got a business deal closed in less than a week. It wouldn't surprise me if YC's diligent investors were the same way with Web3.

Personally speaking (having previously been part of the Web3/crypto movement circa 2015), I think AI is also zero-sum. The race to the bottom looks different from cryptocurrency though, and less harmful than it is annoying. Cryptocurrency's failure was obvious - a currency without guardrails or guarantees is a king's ransom of sand. It falls through your fingers over months of rug pulls, blockchain drama and nervous sideways-trading. The only way to get good at cryptocurrency was to stop using it, in my experience. In the age of KYC it's barely even useful as a fast alternative to wire transfers.

On the other hand, AI is indeed harmful but not in a terribly destructive way. It promotes false knowledge, can distributes harmful information and even make humans feel hopeless and depressed. The internet also promoted these sentiments though, and the "business" side of cryptocurrency was almost entirely centered on swindling and misinformation. The "lowest common denominator" scenario for each side is dire, but the messaging around cryptocurrency legitimizes it when at almost every level it is fundamentally unsafe. That makes it the more dangerous technology, in my eyes.
This. Reviews are not for author, they are for other potential buyers.
I would be more interested in a newsletter that offers comprehensive bits of information on useful tech topics (or any topic for that matter) if it was from a source with reputable knowledge in the domain who was providing it in a fashion derived from their subjective expertise.

The personification of businesses + the personification of AI in this instance frustrates me since it’s clear to myself and most users on HN and possibly not so clear to others, that it’s likely that the “We” who is explaining the projects is not necessarily the “you”, as in the person advertising this service or any other human being that you work with.
Not long ago I had a junior dev remake the corporate site by having him make a template with ACF flexible content - the previous iteration was done by him mainly using Divi, and the result was so much different.

He was recounting how much better the experience of building the site was, and how much more responsive the content management was, when divi was not part of it.

Then we threw in few plugins to cache and minimize and presto, a simple site up and running that non devs can go and add content, and does well in speedtests.
> Why on earth are they using both?

You lost the chance for a great pun here.
Centralization is technology.

There will always be people looking at any advancement and figuring out how to leverage it to expand their personal capability to project power. Nothing is immune to it. Even primitives of decentralization can be leveraged in a way that defacto centralization is the inevitable outcome.

You don't research things that can't be centralized. You just don't centralize. The cost there though. Is then you have to accept certain things just ain't gonna happen.
I took a quick look at the examples that come with mod_wasm module: from what I could see, the HTTP/WASM interface is based on CGI.

I kind of like it because CGI is architecturally elegant, but what about performance implications? By default, the CGI is not the fastest thing on Earth. Every time a HTTP request arrives, a CGI process should be initialized over and over again wasting CPU time on BSS section / runtime library initialization. Does it work any differently when it comes to WASM?
This is a subtle distinction here, probably related to regional usages.

As used here, "I don't care for" means "I do not like". You've interpreted it to be "I don't care about", meaning "it does not matter to me".
Honest question, how else would you pronounce it?
> The only problem is that the data is closely walled by Google and you can only access it through their api.

Perhaps if iOS would allow an AI to access the screen pixels directly ...
The rationale for central HVAC is that your house is insulated. If you heat or cool a specific room, heat is going to flow from one room to another and you’re going to have to keep fighting that. Getting the whole house to a specific temperature is more efficient since it’s insulated from the outside and can more easily maintain a set temperature with less work from the HVAC system. In older houses it didn’t matter as much because the insulation was shitty enough that this didn’t really work, but with modern insulation it makes more sense.
> They reduce us to our produce. They ignore the very thing that materializes the creation: the human.

It sounds like you're reducing yourself to your product, and so any commentary on your product is thus taken as a commentary on you.
There’s a pretty clear split between Russia and the nations in the “Global North”. Almost all of them have Russia under severe sanctions right now.
In some B2B apps, a good UX can be the primary marketed feature. B2B app space is wonderful when it comes to UX engineering... You still have to think about some edges, but depending on your customer you will probably find you can skip a lot of painful items due to their unique organizational constraints.

We sell software to financial institutions and our mission is to provide low-skill hourly hires the ability to reliably open complex accounts. Clearly, focusing on the ability of your target audience is really important if you want to go to this kind of an extreme. For me, this is what "UXR" is - Our team sitting down and asking "how does it feel to use that workflow?" and "If I were walking out of HS graduation, could I understand what I am looking at?".

I don't think this is really complicated stuff at the end of the day. If you let the customers harass the developers just a tiny bit, you might find high quality UXR occurs automagically.

Bill Ackman: Fascinated by the Hindenburg Research Icahn Situation
No. In fact, using such a well-known proof of work function would defeat the purpose of using PoW. Instead of having something that's cheap for occasional users but expensive for spammers, you'd have something that's cheap for people who own mining ASICs and expensive for occasional users.

Hardware specialization breaks the economics behind a CAPTCHA. To fight that you need to use a PoW that hasn't been ASIC'd yet, and be willing to change PoW functions at the drop of a hat. PoW functions that stress memory or cache are also helpful here, though you run the risk of browsers flagging you as a cryptominer (which is technically correct, even if economically wrong).
This is a variant of the “you are not your code” thing, and what I said with that post is that I don’t agree with the spirit of the expression. While yes I am not literally my code, that isn’t a reason to remove all emotion from it, especially in the review process. Surely there’s a logical fallacy where one believes something to be true because it sounds logical, but in reality logic is not applicable and the fallacy is applying logic where it probably shouldn’t be applied.
The main instantiations of web 3 / blockchain are just circumventions of securities laws, which I'd say is a negative for society.

As you say, AI is overhyped. And most of the potentially "bad" applications are also things you could do with a shell script. If nothing else, it has some kind of symmetry where if it turns out it has really evil uses, it will also have really good uses, which will be more attractive. Same as computers in general.
To top it off, I find it common that older generations underestimate the amount of "wiggle room" they had that's barely available to the generations that follow them. My parents and other parents in their generation have told me countless stories of the ways they practically walked into jobs without experience, or the businesses they started from virtually nothing, and all the good deals that were afforded to them; yet these experiences can be nearly impossible to replicate today. Go ahead and "pound the pavement" with only a go-getter attitude and no experience, and see how that works out for you. I'm not the only one of my generation who were told by their parents to "just walk in and ask the manager for a job" or "offer to make them coffee or sweep their floors just to get your foot in the door" only to be met with laughter and being told to fuck off. Want to start a business like your parents did? Oh, well that's too bad, because the tax advantage they had was since sealed up by the IRS and the same industry now requires several forms of regulatory approval that didn't exist in 1987. But maybe you just want a low key, honest, and reasonably playing job, in which case your own parents may be voting against increasing minimum wage because "how dare they expect more than $3.75 an hour in 2023! I paid my way through college on $3.75 /hr!"
He is saying that the name Openfire is already used and semi-widely known as a realtime chatserver.
I don't know about that. Being married to the wrong person can be far worse than never marrying. If you never found someone who was right for you, not forcing the issue was wisdom, not failure.

(If you never could make a relationship work because you're lousy at relationships, that is more your failure. But if you're in the first paragraph, you're probably feeling that you're in the second, and you may not be.)
In the U.S. tax code there are both marriage rewards and marriage penalties. Community property law (about 1/3 of U.S. population by state) further muddies the water.

"Two high earners" is not a meaningful description. Two people each earning $500K is far different than one earning $300K and one earning $700K.
I've noticed that Wikipedia is, now days, extremely fast if I'm not logged in. Just about any article loads near-instantaneously, it might even be faster than Hacker News!

But if I'm logged in its much slower - there's perhaps a second or so lag on every page view. Presumably this is because there's a cache or fast-path for pre-rendered pages, which can't be used when logged in?
Yet we didn't question the non-involvement of the 7 nations we invaded, nor question the lack of invasion of the responsible nation.

It’s more expensive up front to have separate units for all rooms.
Internationalization may contribute to this as it is increasingly necessary for businesses to seek clients globally, but ideas about what makes for simple, clear, easy processes varies hugely between countries. More care needs to be taken to understand and respond to global preferred interaction variations.
Hydro is great when the geography and water-rights can handle it.

Washington has not only lots of mountains and streams... it has excess water. Excess that can be used for energy storage.

In contrast, the Colorado River / Hoover Dam may generate a ton of electricity. But if you slurp up water in reverse, you might have a riot. The Colorado River water rights are oversold, there's not enough water to satisfy everybody.

-----------

Nuclear cannot spin up or down economically. Well... okay. It can shut itself off and spin down, but its... not economical. When you spend $Billions on a plant, and it shuts down, you lose a lot of energy in practice.

Nuclear Plant economics are about running the plant at 100% as much as possible, in the hopes of making back the money you spent to build the darn thing in the first place.

If you're shutting down Nuclear Plants 10-months of the year, and only spinning them up for the 2-months where solar is inadequate, the nuclear power plants will go out of business rather quickly. They're just too expensive to build, and the fuel costs are basically nil (so you might as well run nuclear for all 12-months of the year).

----------

Natural Gas peakers are the opposite. The fuel is very expensive, but the plants are very cheap. You can in fact, run a peaker the minority of the time. Maybe only 20% or 30% of the year, and still make plenty of money.

So when we are realistically talking about "Oh, my energy needs work for 10 months, but just gotta figure out the last 2 months of the year", the solution is always going to be natural gas.
There also was never a clear political union between geographical west and east. I think it just makes no sense using these terminology.

When I first looked at the images, I had the same reaction that they don't look realistic. Thinking about it in context though, I think they would be more suitable. The goal of these renderings isn't specifically to have properties that are realistic. The main goal should be for them to make the world seem natural and provide context. In that sense they are better than the sharp renderings which are a bit distracting. In a way I would consider them a bit impressionistic to give the player the right impression more so than an accurate frame-by-frame renderings. The true test should be playing the game with different renderings and deciding which one feels better.
Given .tk's known practice of seizing domains for their own use, it might be wise to migrate to a more stable TLD.

From what I gather, Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico was pretty much fanfiction (had somebody write?) about himself. This problem may be older than I thought.

People will always switch to the brand of media that shows the truth that validates their existing beliefs. Today, there are a handful of "belief buckets" to choose from. In the USA, you have conservative news channels and mainstream news channels. You can pick your favorite source of truth, but they come as a package deal. If you strongly believe X is factual, you'll tune in to the channel that presents X as factual. That channel will also present Y and Z as factual, so you may slowly start believing Y and Z, too.

The obvious end state of this all will be news channels customized per-person. It's already starting with the custom-tailored Facebook/Twitter feeds. If you personally believe A, Y, and C, but not X, B, or Z, your news reports will be customized to show A, Y, and C as factual and ridicule X, B, and Z. Someone else will get presented an entirely different set of facts. Once the algorithm knows your beliefs, AI can produce an unlimited number of articles confirming those beliefs, complete with photos, videos, sources, fact checks, official reports and references.
No, you’re wrong! We’re going to implement our own custom CMS in Rust using WASM and deploy it to 5000 edge servers for our local brochure business website that needs a little bit of functionality and has a small budget with no technical experience.

But stale-while-revalidate does not work. And there is no request collapsing. And you still have to write code to get CORS to work in workers. And you can't cache the response from workers.

I'm not sure how to present a sample email without sending it directly to the user's inbox. I could probably have a PDF that anyone can download, will explore this idea.
It would be better to look into a dedicated seedbox for torrents.

That’s a useless thing to speculate about.

My point is that they could have used a more appropriate threshold from the very beginning. It wouldn’t have cost them any development time.
And y'all only refers to multiple people. I guess it's kinda a plural "you". ;)
That depends or raw material costs, tool supplier availability and a ton of other factors. One of which is the initial tool design. Also, maybe a new tool design is needed. So, the answer is: it depends.
This is really going to hit folks who were trying to host stuff behind cgnat. I suppose a cheap vps will have to do instead.
Censorship is the act of suppressing content that is viewed as objectionable. There is nothing in the word that indicates the method of censorship. Allowing a subset of people to dictate what is freely available based on that group’s moral beliefs is censorship. Cut and dry.

And you act like it’s just the money of the people that don’t want the books that is being used. What about the money of the people that want the books available? Should it be up to you to say the library can’t use those people’s money to buy those books?

Quit acting like this is about the money spent when it is purely about you wanting to foist your morals onto others and using the cost as a scapegoat.

And lastly, it is not, and should not ever be the case that everyone has to agree on every dollar that the government spends. Money is spent on good programs that you as an individual will never directly benefit from. Does that mean that we should allow voters to decide how every dollar is spent? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. So long social security and Medicare and the majority don’t currently use them.

I had to stop using Mullvad because so many of their IP ranges were blocked or throttled by various services, it was borderline unusable as a daily driver. Unfortunately there isn't a good way for them to protect the reputation of their IPs when they don't collect any information that could be used to identify abusive customers, by design.

Maybe retiring port forwarding will help, but their IP ranges aren't going to be removed from every shitlist out there overnight.
Pretty straightforward to use !

Maybe move the log-in page after step 2, seems more natural as it's the last step before seeing the results. Was a bit confused with the style component. It only changes the text font and not the style of the website. Either specify it's changing font only or generate different templates when a person selects a different style (playful, simple etc) :)

Also given your generate the template once I would show again the color/font changes to step 3 so users can interact with the page style after it's generated.

Makes the experience more engaging !
Sure, why not? Trying to get inside the head of someone you don't understand or disagree with is always a valuable exercise. There's a whole movie (Trainspotting) trying to understand why people do hard drugs. People do all sorts of stupid things, but not always for reasons you or I are incapable of understanding.

I assume the author of the blog post just wanted to optimize the current situation, not completely change how these features work (which would most probably be a much more elaborate change).

Same for dropping jQuery - that will probably be a few weeks or months of work in a codebase the size of Wikipedia/Mediawiki.
I've only thought about it superficially. I think web of trust is a better model for how humans work, but whenever someone tries to translate it to the digital world it fails.

(Lets call this approach digital villages for the sake of argument).

We have lots of examples of digital villages working - forums, subreddits, chatrooms, MUDs, etc etc. Maybe it's a case of worse is better? Or maybe everyone who implements web of trust immediately tries to jam crypto in there and turns off all the normal people? What do you think?

You do run into this sometimes. Flip dot displays can be pretty pricey, new or used, big and small, but after some chatting with the sales team I found out that they'd be happy to sell me a small refurbished panel (not listed in the pricing info they sent me) for a decent discount off what a brand new one would cost to play around with.
Your comment made me think as well! I suspect we might be caught in a definitional discussion of the word “feedback” - feedback is a subset of “words someone says to me”.

My working definition of feedback is “things I tell you about something you did with the intent to help you do better next time,” which does warrant the “feedback is a gift” mentality, even if the feedback is poorly delivered, misguided, or wrong. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s apathy.

As other have mentioned, sometimes people say things to you that are not feedback, and are primarily them seeking status, expressing hurt, etc. a caution though that “this person is just having a bad day” is an easy, universal response for dismissing valid but critical feedback.
