For this community, I’m sure a more fully realised HN browser plug-in that pulled up the article or helped you make a new submission could be useful.

In my experience these browser plugins have come and gone likely due to being more an exploratory coding project rather than a multi dev community supported endeavour.

No idea if the real demand is there tbh.
If you're saying it's not perfect, then sure: it required one iteration before the Python program it spat out worked. It also when asked gave a 2-page description of the code.

And how many humans can do this? Those poor exhausted goalposts.
I have freelanced as a sole proprietor for 15 years. I advise focusing on getting customers and establishing long-term relationships, and not worrying about the trappings of a business.

One person contracting, with no employees or significant assets at risk, doesn’t gain much from an LLC or S corp. The income passes through to you as business income on your taxes regardless, so the less paperwork, bureaucracy, and fees the better.

You can easily find lots of companies selling questionable or outright useless services to new small business owners. Ignore all of that, you probably don’t need it. Do good work, don’t accept jobs from shady or pushy clients, keep records (a spreadsheet works fine). You want to optimize for billable hours, not for looking like a “real” business.

I have some free no-ads articles on my site typicalprogrammer.com.

One interesting challenge you could face is that there's a lot of pre-existing bots that are built against the Reddit API. As the site grows, those existing bot operators can point at your endpoint. You could struggle to keep up with spam.

> The tooth regrowth medicine is intended for people who lack a full set of adult teeth due to congenital factors.

congenital = abnormal.

Mean it only works if you never had teeth, not when you had yours removed.
It's not exactly difficult:

歯 - tooth
生え - grow
薬 - medicine

Doesn't say anything about "regrowth" though.

Some male tennis players do this, too. I'm not sure of the percentage.

I'm sure that there's no aerodynamic advantage for tennis but when you're out there sweating in the sun, I'm sure you don't want a bunch of water-retaining hair. Also depending on the surface a lot of dust can get kicked up. Not a lot of fun mingling with sweat. Easier for taping/massaging, too, I guess.

While I am a (terrible, amateur) male tennis player, I barely have any hair on my legs to begin with, so I can't do my own A/B comparison for science's sake.
You also have plenty of American-trained dentists, at least in Thailand, although I'm not sure they're any better than the locally trained ones.

> The [Chinese] military is very firmly under Party control.

The point about the military-industrial complex capturing politicians isn't about control, but rather excess procurement.

On the one hand, China has a long way to reach parity with the US. On the other hand, they're building extremely quickly, and that means lots of government money going to corporations.

Subsequent restrictions to that funding flow tend to be when the system pushes back.

> Germany, Japan and South Korea have been fantastic successes in nation building.

These are all nation re-building efforts: they existed as economically and politically strong entities before the respective wars.

> The Taiwan situation has to be escalated, and territorial claims in the South China Sea pushed in order to manufacture tensions that justify internal repression.

I don't pretend to understand China's calculus with either.

With enough shore-based facilities, they can counter the US Navy.

But as soon as there's a shooting war over either, China is the aggressor to international order (Taiwan's sovereignity and maritime law), Chinese international trade evaporates (in terms of both exports and raw material imports), and their economy crashes.

So the only Chinese winning move, to me, looks like saber rattling right up to the brink, but making sure it never boils over.

Which was always the China-in-the-WTO argument -- addict them to the benefits of international trade, such that offending the global order would mean slitting their own economic throat.

At Fogbeam Labs work has been proceeding to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a FizzCabulator. This device not only supplies inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but is also capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. The only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of fizzes and buzzes, it is generated by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive duractance.
If you are happy with the tool then continue using it. My point was a simple one, any generally intelligent software system would have given you an optimal solution by accounting for what people know about backtracking and constraint propagation but the solution presented did not account for how to optimally use coroutines to propagate constraints.

I'll repeat what I said previously in a different way, LLMs are useful but they are nowhere near what is required to achieve generally intelligent software systems. I'm sure they will continue to improve as engineers and companies learn how to utilize them in their workflows but let's temper the hype a little bit because statistical autocompletion is not enough to achieve general intelligence.
Any resources or communities weighing in on whether this is sufficient?
Discord has some awful UX patterns, but somehow many communities have slid into adopting it as a general information resource. There are certain kinds of content where barriers to entry aren't that important - people go where the content they want is, and that's that. That's why Something Awful can still exist with a $10 paywall.

The Lemmy software already works well enough to have a critical mass of traction for general-audience memes/pictures/news. The rest is "well, maybe sometime down the road". No big talk about late capitalism needed.

There are projects attempting to do more things. I've really enjoyed Parcel (https://parceljs.org). But it won't handle things like linting or unit testing, which you may or may not want. Vite is also pretty popular (https://vitejs.dev/), and it has a test runner.

Thing is, most of the problems described in the post aren't related to low-JS front-end libraries like HTMX or alpine. You can write React without a linter, bundler, build tool, unit testing, or linting (or dependency manager, for that matter!). But with any of these projects at scale, you start wanting more:

- If you want to write unit tests in JS, you need to choose a test runner (probably Jest or Vitest -- until the built-in node testing module becomes more common).

- If you want linting, you need a linter (probably Eslint). If you want type safety, you need a type checker (probably Typescript).

- If you want to create smaller JS files to ship to production and to automatically handle assets, you need a bundler.

- If you want to use new language features while supporting old browsers, you need polyfills.

- If you want to use all these things together, you need something to bring it together (like Webpack).

So it really depends what you need! You may not need any. But as you can imagine, in many professional projects with multiple developers it's very nice to have unit tests, linting, and type checking :) (And you start caring about end-user performance a lot more, in which case optimizing the shipped bundle is important.)

Take all that, and then compare to a language like Rust, which has most of the "ecosystem stuff" built-in. In Rust, you get the test runner, the linter, dependency manager, type checker, and documentation tool all included. Easy! Thankfully, Rust doesn't have to care about whether users support modern language features (because it compiles down to lower-level code ahead of time), or whether the binary shipped to the client is optimally organized for downloading immediately over the internet.

It's a problem in JS because A) you have to care about more problems than many other languages since JS needs to load instantly over the wire in a web browser, and B) there is a huge amount of choice and not a lot of standardization in web tools. (And what standardization there is (Node, npm), there are still competitors trying to even further reduce the pain points.)

I think that in ten more years, we'll be in a better place, because there is push back (like this post!) against these problems, which will encourage more tools trying to solve the explosion of tools. Which seems counterintuitive, but these tools were created to solve very real problems. So I see it as a pendulum which has swung too far, but will likely swing back to a more balanced place. And you see that with tools like Vite gaining popularity.

What happened in May 2023?

Would there be a benefit in social network features? E.g. I would love to see the currently most shared and annotated articles for any topic. It would also be interesting to see the Tweets and posts that reference an article.
That's something I 'knew' in theory .. but as I'm back end numerical geophysics coder that avoids web UI as much as possible I frequently lag on the latest sneaky end runs in practice.

Nice to know that this is still the case - but always worth checking.
Then still, you'd need 5 to 8 years of very negative prices.
These prices are a nice little bonus for some ppl but not something sustainable. It's a signal from the market something has to change: be more flexible, in demand or supply.
A good common pitfall to address. It affects more than self-taught coders and bootcamp non-traditional software engineers.

Interesting, I'm giving you examples of working _less_ and you saying - but you can work more!

And no, I/one cannot - who will backport patches for security issues? who even will be reliably track what kind of patches needed, what applied, how to test it and so on. Sounds like a extra spending on hiring some nerds focused on security stuff in this, instead of delegating to vendors.

> Yes you are required to check the UPDATING file for any breaking changes

Thanks, no, again. Sounds like LET'S WORK MORE again. Reading on changes will happen on next LTS version deployment and testing, not as day-to-day activity. Which happens with 2 year cadence and can be planned/prepared for migration.

Everyone and their brother predicted the Brexit mess.

France definitely has a problem. Somewhere along the way people started to believe that the only way to affect change is thru riots and mass destruction. That's how I see it as an outsider. The bigger problem is that this type of actions is fuel for a conservative strong person to take over as a leader. It may not be the end for France but big changes are coming to it, if things don't change. Eventually the majority gets scared and vote in a law and order strong man.

"The Lisa end user experience wasn't that different from the Xerox Alto" -- except that the Alto had many different programs, each with their own interface, so I don't know what you're referring to.

I guess you're talking about Smalltalk, but that was a tiny part of what people at Xerox were doing. It had a negligible influence on the Star.
This is true and correct, but I would add that sometimes in FP books and papers you do see authors merely writing "effects" as well. I think either would be acceptable.
I've faced similar issues when trying Plan 9, which assumes a three-button mouse and makes heavy use of mouse chording. I had difficulties using my normal mouse wheel USB mice. I ended up purchasing some old Sun USB three-button mice for experimenting with Plan 9.
The last time I took a foray into tor a year ago or so the top 10 sites were all selling drugs and stolen credit cards. Couldn’t find a single legitimate or non illegal thing on it. Uninstalled it after 10 minutes of browsing almost identical sites claiming they were the only legitimate meth/hitman/heroin sites on tor.

There are legitimate reasons to use tor, but onion sites don’t seem to be part of it, and when I’m evading censorship to watch Netflix or something I’d rather use a vpn.
I really find that hard to believe.

If there were 10M monthly real users, large crypto airdrops would go out to way more people. But even the big ones like Arbitrum and Optimism went out to like 500k “wallets”. Many of these were multiple wallets owned by the same people.

Daily transaction data on Etherscan shows that the most popular tokens like USDT/C are traded at most by under 100k wallets. OpenSea has like a few thousand wallets trading daily at most.

Real onchain users are not more than 1M a month, and that’s a stretch. I would put it closer to 500k real users, many of whom might have multiple addresses (I have 8).
Not unless they start building power plants. Right now they’re just a gas station owner selling someone else’s oil.

I had bought into the GPT-4 hype. I used GPT-4 on ChatGPT Plus for two months, but then I unsubscribed because I wasn't using it as much as I thought I would.

It's certainly a very interesting technology. But in it's current form, I just don't see it replacing most jobs. Will it replace jobs if we scale further? I don't know, but my intuition says no. I feel that we will need some other major breakthroughs in AI to get there.
I am not sure if other auto manufacturers are doing similar data collection, but based on [0], they sure seem to collect a lot. I hope, as you say, they let you pick what data you permit them to collect and also let you use features of _your_ car if you deny some permissions.

I remember there was a series of articles several years ago that German intelligence officers generated a lot activity in far-right websites. To the point that frequently it was mostly undercover „extremists“ discussing between themselves.

The closest article I can quickly find is about Germany intelligence informants doing the same in meatspace though.

> There was a "risk that sources of the intelligence service (Office for the Protection of the Constitution) could goad each other on to undertake bigger actions;" in other words, the system threatened to create an "incendiary effect."

Even as a skeptic, this wallet can be tied to a real identity, which would make signing transactions way more legit. And more importantly, the infrastructure for crypto is already established.

Still can’t shake the idea that this is a solution waiting for a problem, and this isn’t really it.
A major thread through the talk is that there are powers that be that think they have the answers & want to shape & mold us. Not super clearly stated, but implicitly said, it rarely works & the hubris almost always causes huge problems, is a projection rather than what the world wants or needs.

If AI is judging us, it's either based on data encoding our existing behaviors. Or it's crudely manipulated data by biased hubris filled megalomaniacs. The rest of humanity doesn't really have/isn't permitted much of a say in the matter.

There's definitely some opportunity for intranet/internal tool use. Many times I've wanted to easily extended a tool with supplemental information, but couldn't feasibly do it without direct access to the code (not even feasible for proprietary systems). Example use case might be leaving comments on a Salesforce or Tableau report that you otherwise don't have edit access to.
Trying to be fair here - it's technically not linked to any blockchains. It's just (ab)using the cryptographic primitives provided by the Metamask wallet app to sign things with a key stored in the wallet. That key might (probably) also be used to sign things that end up on any sort of blockchain, e.g. ETH.

The reason to do this is some people do indeed have Metamask (a browser extension, yuck) already installed and a wallet set up - so technically this might be an easy way to enable signing for them.

The reasons not to do this, I already detailed above. It is a neat hack, that would fare tragically when applied to the masses.

It just solved the "untyped" problem, and it's more than enough.
I propose de-escalating the situation. We're talking about a kid whose record can best be described as "hooligan" and has not drawn a weapon. If he gets away, you have his plates on-camera and can put a warrant out for his arrest. If he poses a continued threat to the public, you can negotiate a traffic interception, pit maneuver, spike strips or an undercover tail.

It's hard to expect a perfect response from anyone in this situation, but it's not a war zone we're talking about here. He wasn't "the enemy". He was a citizen in non-compliance with the law and deserves due process. It's like having an ICBM sent to your house for pirating Kung Fu Panda.
Interesting how Java is so fast. Among the fastest of c, cpp, asm, go and rust.

VPN = Rented proxy?

Even running your own VPN means that the destination knows your IP and that IP range is known to be allocated to a particular cloud provider and at any particular time, any cloud provider knows by the second which VM/tenant their allocated IPs are attached to.

So who are you hiding from and are you really hidden?
Clusters make a nice story, but you're going about it backwards. What are you trying to predict?

The scientific method suggests we create a hypothesis first, then design an experiment (or identify a natural experiment), then collect data, and finally perform a hypothesis test. Deviations from that process increase your risk of spurious results.
Which are artificially-supported jobs that soak up labor that could be used in a more productive way. Trade restrictions destroy economies of scale by breaking up markets and make us all poorer.
bohm here is talking about the observer effect, which is distinct from, though has historically been conflated with, the uncertainty principle. the former refers to how measurement unavoidably affects a system, whereas the latter is an inherent limit to accuracy effecting all wave-like systems
On the flip side, as an avid Google Maps reviewer they also removed my negative review from a restaurant without any good reason (supposedly the business reported it as being “fake” or something)

It really pissed me off because I wrote a long thoughtful review and mentioned the good aspects of the restaurant too as well as some recommendations, and it’s just completely gone

The worst part is the restaurant is sitting at 4.5 stars despite being quite bad, and the recent low star reviews are all questioning the rating, which is obviously artificial

Minor correction: AMD CPUs do have something similar to efficiency cores, it's just that AMD doesn't clearly market it that way.

They bin CCDs for performance (max attainable frequency, thermal efficiency, etc) and include a good one and a not-so-good one on a CPU.

I got a 5950x a couple years ago and it's quite well known in the AMD space.

Intel's "efficiency cores" are almost the exact same thing - cheaper lamer cores to keep core count higher.
Why would they? The US doesn't care about who China sanctions, and the UK is one of US's closest allies.

For future reference if you ever need to do it again, @callback is roughly equivalent to @typedef but for defining function types, and @template is generic type params for both.

For people who can't Braze or Weld, we used to call them a "bitza" made from "bits of this, bits of that"
