I totally get that it's possible, but it's completely unnecessary complexity for both deployed apps and local dev. If the react team tells us that we have to jump through these extra hoops to use react*, my response will probably be to move to a different front end framework. And I say this as someone who honestly really likes react and who never really cared for front end work prior to learning react.

* I'm aware that server components aren't required, and probably won't be in the near future. But the way they're being pushed ATM they're likely to become the de facto standard, similar to how functional components and hooks have completely displaced class components even though the latter is still officially supported.

Everyone is re-inventing "show codes" from Wordperfect 5 and other similar platforms because no one who is inventing these things has ever used Wordperfect 5. That said, re-solving this problem is turning up some nice new U/X patterns that (as far as I know) weren't around in the older platforms ("show codes on cursor", "local modal editing for format", etc.)
Then stop commenting here if you don't want to be challenged. Yes, I did jump on you for using the wrong word because I believe that if you're going to make an argument that you should be able to morally decide what language is permissible that you consider the implications of your language in turn. "Language is important, we must regulate it to keep from hurting people." cannot jive with "How dare you judge me for using the wrong word?!" Either speech is important and must be considered or it's allowed for people to sometimes err in how they express themselves.

Also, for the record because you're someone who probably spends time in places that value standpoint epistomology, I'm a disabled lesbian. You're supposedly acting on my behalf to protect me. I don't think Nazis (actual Nazis, not fundie or Q crazies), TERFS, or bigots are degenerates. I think they're terrible people because they violate a value of mine - that value being "allowing for a diversity of human experience produces positive results for individuals and society", but I don't believe in the concept of degeneracy or in centralized moral authority systems. It's also funny that you're borrowing a term the right used to slam the LGBTQ+ community for so many years and you're surprised somebody had a negative reaction to that. It comes off as very 'rules for thee but not me'.

> There's no slippery slope here, besides the one you're implying leads from social media platforms simply having standards of conduct and decency and banning hate speech to... communism?

I'm a market socialist who's somewhere in the anarchist/syndicalist camp. The tankies and commies are the main group on the left who are on the left but want to stamp out 'degeneracy', yes.

'Decency'. There's another one.

I always find it interesting that people with your point of view tend to treat things like 'decency' and 'degeneracy' as objective facts. Not saying slurs = decency, but not saying swears or not speaking heresy = not decency. Even though those things might also cause emotional distress. So it's not about preventing emotional distress. The difference is that the authorities in these cases believe that insulting someone's innate qualities is unacceptable but insulting someone for their choices is okay, but how much choice does someone born in Iran have about being Muslim? These approaches suggest that whomever is making those calls has figured out the 'one true value system' and if we all just adhere to that system, it'll be sunshine and roses. Just don't question the system, its premises, or its implementation. Which in turn leaves it open for abuse and for the authorities' biases to be baked in - it's interesting to see how lesbophobia is treated when it comes from fundies versus other members of the LGBTQ+ community, for example.
Show HN: Archive Any Twitter Account
I remember when hacker news would shut down signups during reddit outages to prevent the mass migration lol. Great move IMO. I don't think they do that any more. Probably because reddit doesn't have nearly as much downtime as in the old days.
Hi! In response to Elon removing old twitter accounts to free up handles, we made a free tool for anyone to be able to preserve a twitter account.

Since we only have the basic twitter API we can only get ~3300 tweets from a user, but it should be good for most regular users.

All tweets are preserved on Arweave which has a permanence mechanism to guarantee the data is stored for at least 200 years, and potentially more.
A reach, perhaps?

Homo naledi adults and children that were laid to rest in the fetal position within cave depressions and covered with soil.

In a cave far underground and very difficult to get to.

So, what? They spent days getting to this area to lay down in a hole and die? Somebody carried their body through crazy difficult caves and just dumped them (and they happened to end up in holes)?

Sometimes the quest for the smoking gun exceeds the normal bounds of credulity, in a way similar to the outrageous claims of eccentrics (the normal extreme).

A very reasonable conclusion is that they were buried carefully in a special place, with the expenditure of much care (carrying light for the trip etc).
The problem is their business model is illegal.

The idea that they need “guidance” is another way of saying if we follow the clear law what we want to do is impossible so can you help us with that.

The SEC answer has been yeah no we can’t solve that problem for you.

It’s all on the first few pages of the linked complaint, they didn’t register as a dealer, broker, clearing house, and so on, because the would instantly be on the wrong side of all sorts of regulations for what those institutions are allowed to do.

They don’t want clarity. They wanted waivers. They wanted the SEC to say crypto is different so you don’t have to do XYZ.

The SEC said no.
I disagree, but that's beside the point here. You yourself narrowed the scope to:

"imitating even the most primitive brains, even though computationally we should have enough juice by now"

Which is kind of weird to claim today. GPT-4 may be the strongest counterexample to date, but it's far from the only one.

Of course, you need to remember not to confuse the brain with attached peripherals. Just because we can't replicate a perfect worm or fly body, complete with bioelectrical and biomechanical components, doesn't mean we can't do better than their brains in silico.
There’s a list of coins that coinbase has sold that the SEC considers securities on page 33 of the filing, and Bitcoin is not in the list. They list coins like SOL and DASH. I’d paste the whole list but my phone won’t let me copy from a PDF.
This is an incredibly amusing hacker news interaction. You are 100% in the right in terms of having a breadth of accurate and passionate knowledge about your topic and it being relevant to the discussion @chowells
I still consider expert systems to be AI. Is there some reason why I should stop?
Hopper is the name of the GPU architecture, and Grace is the name of the CPU. Combining them in a device gets you a "Grace Hopper" superchip.

(And yes, I'd guess the codenames where chosen back in the day with an eye towards combining them in the same device.)
A minority of the banned communities fit that description, though.

Regardless, I’m pointing out what is the current alternative.
The NeXT Cube was considered a failure.

... except ... when I write iOS software (for the most successful product of all time), I am frequently using types that have "NS" prefixes.

I wonder where they came from?
Shift your perspective, instead of imagining that the lines are flowing over the black (along the paths with coloured borders), imagine that black stripes are flowing and covering the surface which has something inscribed on it.

So before you can actually start reading the text, you have to actually see the surface, which will in some sense appear as the widening of the lines across the curved flow axis. So the lines start turning into flowing stripes which reveal the surface beneath (full of text and aliens), you then have to try and hold that state.

It is like that spinning balerina.

EDIT: One more thing. The lines flicker, right? Since the "surface" underneath is interchangeably black & white, you must notice that the black stripes have straight borders. This will also make it easier.

...

The white lines turn into "stripes revealing the surface underneath" even though when ignoring this, you only observe a white line. For me, if that shift of perspective is possible, then as an observer I can't vouch on the true width of the white lines, because if I switch my perspective, even as slightly as the lines widen, I cannot as a single observer give a definite statement on their width. Video analysis would only empirically confirm it if I stay correct.
Personally, I’M terrified of people using ChatGPT for serious coding work. They will be seeding the future with vulnerable/buggy software that no one understands.

Granted, us humans are doing that now. Just many orders of magnitude slower. Probably slow enough that we can find/fix the important stuff.

The other aspect that terrifies me is the potential for nation state entities with deep pockets to inject vulnerabilities. What would it be worth to the NSA to seed the future with programs they could exploit?
How many mods are there on Reddit that run big communities? For all we know it may result in mods getting $100 each.
Your keyboard works just fine in VR. What’s the problem?

I think a real display replacement (in terms of shrinking down your monitor/TV to something you can trivially carry around with you) seems like a real use case.
> You got evidence and now you're trying to discredit that evidence.

I am trying to say that our definitions of evidence are not the same anymore.

It is just a video online. Without any other supporting factors, it stays like that. Evidence requires connection to the context, and we can't verify that.

> Indeed it is, I have a feeling you really don't care much about the truth are just here to try and muddy the waters.

I care about the truth. But I also don't like that people can't see over their own biases. (e.g. not considering that someone else than Russia could do something for their own benefit)
What percentage of people worldwide use smartphones with no voice service at all? Including voip.
>Besides, it's not the SEC's job to give free legal consultation.

"Free"? They are literally funded with tax money. They work for citizens and companies. It's their literal job.

It's like saying "you can not ask a policeman about if you can use this kind of trailer on your car, he is not paid for that advice"
To be fair most every growth tech company took a pretty big haircut. Some value has returned to the stronger players recently. However, weaker ones are still well off ATHs. Will be interesting to see how Reddit looks.
Who exactly is using SQLite in production for non-trivial usecases (>10K QPS)?
I heard that reddit has previously threatened replacing mods for any indefinite blackouts, which would be why a 3 day blackout is being pursued. They will lose a lot of money on these days, it just depends on how much.
Out of the things that reddit has done before, this is the least objectionable one i can think of. They were actually late to increase the cost of scraping their content. Google has made billions out of them.
Yes, i would bet on the next generation of iphones having this capability
Weird (mostly American) puritanism.
Being able to train base LLMs. This is currently an alchemical skill since you can't learn it at school. This can be further split into infrastructure engineering (managing GPU clusters aint easy), data gathering and cleaning (at terabyte scale), the training itself, etc etc.

Being very good at fine tuning for a particular goal. Its much easier to learn fine-tuning, so standards are higher to stand out.

Being able to come up with architectural improvements for LLMs, aka the researcher path.

Wages start at $250k for grads at the big AI companies.
In their defense, Plaid also very quickly demonstrated why you might not want an online bank access free for all. At least in privacy-centric terms.
The smartphone had multiple killer apps: web browsing, maps when you needed them most instead of having to print MapQuest directions, and device consolidation (iPod, cell phone, GPS, and web browser all in one!)

The touch interface elegantly solved the problem of not having a full keyboard and mouse.

The ultimate vision for these headsets is not yet realized: to unintrusively overlay enriched visual information over our surroundings. This doesn't hit the unintrusively piece by a longshot, nor are the apps that realize this vision even announced.

Vision Pro does, however, provide a first step platform to develop those apps when the tech does shrink to an everyday wearer.
I think ETH should have been classified as one too, due to its ICO.
Making an exemption for that was a mistake...
No, I'm just not in the US... ?
Add that the R1 chip almost certainly needs to be right next to the cameras and the display to get that 12ms response time, and about the only thing you could move off the device is the CPU and SSD... at which point, probably, why bother?
It’s more akin to Slack, with text channels and voice rooms.
Third party apps are just a client. My web browser doesn't provide them analytics back either, nor do I see their ads.

I dislike Reddit's narrative -- the Apollo dev himself is visibly gaslit by this one -- that the apps are "generating" API calls.

Nonsense.

Users generate API calls over client(s) of choice.

As soon as you understand that, you can apply first principles to the rest.
SQLite using Pocketbase is the best thing to go from 0 - 1 in the world of PaaS. It is magical, amazing and super fast.
How would you feel about a group preventing the public from entering Yellowstone so that they could do whatever they wanted with the park? Should they be fined for that or should we just take away the trucks they blocked the roads with?

Amateur spectrum is public property, just like a national park. The rules are in place so that it remains available for the public’s enjoyment.

> lobby the government… open up the bands… commercial use cases

This same sentiment would lend support to the building of a Walmart and condos around Old Faithful.

> The radio spectrum is supposed to belong to all of us? Not just a privileged few who possess a license.

It’s like $50 (and I’m pretty sure there’s financial hardship waivers) to get your tech license and it’s easy material. There’s a wealth of free resources to learn it. The roads all belong to us too, but we make people get drivers licenses so we can ensure they know how to properly use that public resource.
It feels like a missed opportunity that the current generation doesn't already do that. All the talk is that Apple have been exploring VR behind the scenes for a while, and the devices all have 2+ lenses.

It would have been quite cool for them to announce that all your iPhone 14 videos were actually recorded in 3D and ready for Apple Vision all along.
In an ideal world, regulatory agencies would also spend significant resources on education. Unfortunately many of them don't have enough resources for rule making and enforcement, their primary mandate. However, there are plenty of educational resources outside the agencies. There are lawyers, accountants, professors, consultants, etc who are experts that you can hire. There are classes available, in some cases entire degrees.

The regulations are designed to protected the general public from companies doing the wrong thing in the name of profit even when the intentions of the people running those companies are good. It's a check on the dark side of capitalism. Are sometimes those rules too complicated or too overbearing? Yes! Are there also people out there just to improve that? Yes, and some of them work in the regulatory agencies!

It's a messy, frustrating process that on the whole seems to be doing a decent job. Most people in US have access to clean water, generally don't have to worry about tainted Advil, or worry their life savings are going to evaporate by just storing it in a bank.

I don't know enough about the specifics of the Coinbase suit yet, but the crypto industry in general seems an awful like the banking industry of the 1800s and early 1900s in the US. During that time there were plenty of companies and people doing the right thing, but there were enough bad actors that something needed to be done. The SEC was born.

This is very likely fallout from FTX, but not because of some nefarious plot against crypto but rather the SEC realized there is a financial sector they need to focus on more closely. A SEC lawsuit is also a starting point for a serious discussion, not a criminal indictment. If the SEC believes there has been criminal behavior, they refer that to the DoJ. The likely outcome if Coinbase has been trying to do the right thing is some sort of settlement (fine) + direction on what to do differently. Then Coinbase will continue on like normal with whatever changes the SEC wanted.
Approval and registration sound like two different things.
"If you have to ask..."

It is many, many thousands.
You could try Xidel[1]. It supports JSON, XML and HTML using XPath/XQuery 3.1

It has some extensions to the standard that are pretty nice (JSONiq, CSS selectors, html “template” matching), but you can limit it to just standard XPath/XQuery if you like.

I recommend getting the nightly v .99 build if you give it a try, the stable .98 version is pretty old and I’ve had no issues with .99

1. https://www.videlibri.de/xidel.html
Yes.

I'm using it because it's easy to read, easy to write and runs almost everywhere.

But it doesn't support multithreading. This is good and not so good for scaling. Then i found this:
https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel
and it solve many problems for me.
Great tooling.

I was using CodeGPT but this looks better. And it's exciting to have those command line options to easily insert other contextual input like command outputs.

Can I ask about your plans? CodeGPT planned to add semantic embeddings of code, but I haven't seen any updates for quite a time. The idea being that, like walking an Abstract Syntax Tree of the code, you could include relevant functions and function definitions(/classes/constants/etc), to help improve output quality.

Alongside what you note with module/library versions and pasting in doc snippets, I have often found is necessary to include package.json files to nudge the results towards the right API calls. I think semantic code search might push it finally to being able to work even on comprehensive, multi-service style repos.

For MVC or services architected solutions, I think this could be more helpful than including whole files - though it may be overkill - do you have any thoughts on doing this?
I would argue it is quite similar to an Angular.js moment, even if it's not a breaking change.

> React suggests mixing server-side and client-side rendering, using what feels like black magic. You can use client components in server components, and vice versa.

This is reminiscent of hybrid Angular apps[1], which allows you to use both Angular.js and modern Angular components together and was introduced to help the upgrade from Angular.js to modern Angular. The only issue is the "black magic" there isn't as good as advertised and you'll run into many holes if working on a moderately complex hybrid Angular app.

I can only hope that the "black magic" for a mixed React app is more complete, though lack of documentation for the wire format that the author pointed out does not inspire confidence.

Interestingly enough, there is a picture of a tree of mix of components[2] on the Angular upgrade guide which parallels the one in tfa. It is basically why I think these scenarios mirror each other: an introduction to a new paradigm which can be used with the old one in a mixed/hybrid application (and a possible lack of documentation which will make that application terrible to maintain without fully transitioning to the new or old paradigm).

> It removes work that adds no value. In other words, copilot adds value.

If the work has no value, then copilot can't add value by doing it. You can add value by exercising good judgement and not doing it at all.
Or, here's a wild thought, the whole device will get smaller....And standalone cameras will exist. So it wont be awkward, as it will just appear to be glasses on your head that we've not found awkward in the last several hundred years.
The video on the main page had me until they said their main focus now was on helping the U.S. empire's attempts to subjugate the rest of the world. If small form factors were a focus, how about off grid generators or the like. Leading with military applications does not inspire IMHO.
It would be really interesting to see whether this holds in Middle Eastern countries or other places where the work week starts on a Sunday.
The era of the few crypto billionaires and the crowd of regular Joe money-losers. Ah, those times.
What’s Ahead for Ultrafast EV Charging
Legacy technology always "improves" when a serious disruptor enters the market.
It seldom can overcome the disruption for very long.

However this engine seems to be a great improvement on pistons if we want to continue burning dinosaur juice. It might be interesting to try it as a range extender for long-haul electric trucks due the smaller size and weight.
I think it was always 100% clear that cryptocurrencies can't live within the confines of the laws of a sovereign state. Why people registered their exchanges along with the rest of the banking system ? it made zero sense from the start, as does the whole idea that cryptos can be traded in regulated capitalism. Bitcoin needs its own country (or planet) with nukes and all.
A better analogy is that you would get in serious trouble selling a drug without approval from the FDA at the same time the FDA has never approved any drugs. It is clear to anyone who understands what is happening that the US government and our faltering financial system is desperate to eliminate crypto all together, and will throw up so many legal and regulatory hurdles that even if crypto technically remains legal it won't be worth the risk or the cost.
Downvotes are not a productive means of communication. If you have problems with my views be an adult and oppose my views rationally. Otherwise ignore me and move on. Having any form of social credit score that can be abused to silence others is quite literally a pillar of authoritarianism and de-incentivizes the free flow of ideas if they disagree with established groupthink. It doesn’t matter if the majority believes it to be true. At one time the majority believed the Earth to be flat.

Thankfully HN doesn’t fall into this hole as deeply as Reddit, due in part to the steeper requirements to participate in downvoting and simply how varied the opinions are here. Not to mention HN doesn’t have a cabal of “powermods” forcing subreddits to follow their own agenda.
Why do they have to remove porn for the IPO?
To make the claim that it’s not a common enterprise, you’d have to actually define the term “common enterprise”.

Can you link to an authoritative or reliable definition? Or case law? Really anything? That would tive us a basis for discussion. Merely claiming “it’s not a common enterprise” cause it’s your feeling, is a weak defense if SEC were to bring a case.
True, add on another $1000 lol jk
