"May you live in interesting times."
Great that it has worked for you. Life is not black and white though. It's easy to have a spine when you have fuck you money in the bank, but not so easy when you have family to feed. Would you starve you kids on principle just because you want to "take responsibility" at work?
Humans rarely need to make business decisions on real-time data
"Framework on top of a framework" I meant, not just one. Something like React or Django is absolutely a big speedup once you fully understand the abstractions they provide, but the ad hoc mishmash of 80 libraries and mountains of tooling (or actual 3rd party framework in lieu of those things) on top of them that you see at the typical web dev shop these days isn't. Most shops are just building and building and building with no end in sight, constantly looking for the next thing to chuck on the pile, and IME having taught plenty of grads in my career they learn basically nothing in these environments.

This would actually be a benefit for younger developers that could bypass it except that once the problem gets bad enough it seeps through to training materials across the web and self-taught people cop it as collateral. If you try and google up some advice for how to get started with a web app these days you're going to get all sorts of opinions on what sort of "stack" you should start with to the point that people make it a part of their ideology, like you get some sort of fucking street cred for using ts-pattern or whatever this week's designated architectural microfad is.
I meant: obviously iron won’t work.

That changes from society to society, whereas intelligence as a positive predictor of success is universal.
Maybe they are permanently stuck in the 80s and only allow baggy suit pants.

Or I guess… it’s probably a bit darker and they are not talking about a western country.

What exactly is the point of this? Presumably, if I'm against WEI, I'm not using a browser that implements it, so sites that require it would essentially block themselves for me. Is this script meant to be used on Chromium-based browsers that haven't removed WEI support so I can still browse the web with them without fear of a site using WEI?

This might be hardware-specific, but I cannot actually run games on Windows anymore. My machine hard resets every 10 minutes of I do -- some sort of an overheat problem perhaps.

On Linux everything's just fine. With the added bonus of 90% less cruft from the OS.
One thing that has changed in the professional game industry is that .. you don't see people starting super young.
In that case what's the point of any of it? The user doesn't care about how your URLs are structured. They just read pages and click links, and anything below that is up to the programmer's preference
Small Improvements | Full-Stack, Backend, Frontend | Berlin, Germany | Hybrid or Remote (living in Germany) | Full/Part-time

https://www.small-improvements.com/careers/senior-software-d...

We're looking for a senior full-stack developer/engineer. We're using mainly Java (with Spring) and TypeScript (with React). We're a small and bootstrapped company. The engineering team puts a lot of weight on continuous learning and always challenging the status quo - that's the only way we can get better as individuals and as a team. All engineers get a lot of space and trust so they can always do their best.

Small Improvements is a performance management tool (features include Objectives, 360 feedback, 1:1's and Performance Reviews) used by over 750 companies including Zapier, Duolingo and Soundcloud.

Please apply using the link above.
The article is using Steam adoption numbers as gateway into Linux game market overall, so it is only appropriate that proper game market numbers are mentioned.
This looks great! We have a similar tool on https://markets.sh but more geared towards news and general information about stocks (You can ask e.g "What are the current issues with the Disney company?")

We found the hardest part about this is the pre-ranking of sections and finding the relevant information. Do you feed the whole report into OpenAI?
I feel like when I traveled to Asia, I didn't see any of that. I don't think it's because of better individual self-control (plenty of other addictions, like gambling, alcohol or smoking). But isn't there like death penalty for drug traffickers there? Is that the only effective deterrent?

Harsh perhaps, but if we look at outcomes, the current situation kills a lot of people and wastes a lot of lives. I can see how some people would think "don't administer narcan to addicts" but I don't think that it's fair to attribute addictive behaviors entirely to the user. Someone is selling them the stuff and know full well the amorality of it. That said, creating negative consequences for users before addiction takes place can also create the right incentive structure to avoid mass addiction such as what we're seeing in both cities and countryside in the US.
Wouldn't that be XUL[1] ? It's been there since 1997 and never took off outside of Mozilla, so it was deprecated and removed in 2017. It wasn't meant for use in the wen directly as replacing an entire ecosystem with a completely different way of doing UIs would be close to impossible, all for small benefits.

As someone who learned programming with these old early-90s Visual Basic versions as my introduction to programming, it was also extremely slow - you couldn't make commander keen with early VB on win 3.x - it wouldn't be fast enough for scrolling, I'm not sure it would even smoothly move more than a couple sprites at a time.

The tool to use for hobby game dev back then was Turbo Pascal on DOS.
Just a question - where do you see modern engine technology evolving? My biggest gripe is that the extra processing power in modern machines is used to make static content look prettier, and make its authoring easier by non-technical artists, and the extra possibilities of real-time computation (like fully dynamic GI, and collision, navigation) and not taken advantage of, which leads devs to remake the same setpiece-heavy railroaded games over and over.
No one needs to be fighting allocators; they are far less inhibiting and pose less of an issue than GC or RAII will in the vast majority of cases. They're far easier and simpler to deal with on the whole as well. You're always interfacing with memory management somehow and the implicit way is usually much harder to work with overall. The idea that having an allocator and explicitly working with it is for "that last bit of performance" is a bit disingenuous, you're usually losing far more than that with implicit allocation and deallocation. On top of that you simply inherently have a harder time understanding the behavior of your program.
Employer asking to layoff employees using an AI Model – would you do it?
This is absolutely bonkers both by the company as well as employees who they have trusted to build this. This has no positive outcomes on either side.

Decriminalization doesn't work in isolation

Well funded and highly available treatment programs must be made available alongside it

And that's not even getting into the need for a regulated and safe supply that can only come with outright legalization...
No but there are some 'wunderkinds' making and selling games on the Roblox engine/platform. They guy who created Bloxburg for example was a teenager when he released that game, and he just sold it for over $100 million.
Teams app on windows completes the full circle in my opinion.
you lose nothing being enthusiastic for new tech that doesn't pan out

you gain nothing bashing new tech that doesn't pan out

If it doesn't matter either way, why be pessimistic - especially if you're a tech enthusiast - as most people on HackerNews ought to be.
Sometimes though, that dusty hole in the middle of nowhere seems to be the most progressive in terms of using standards, when the person sitting in it adopts new HTML elements, immediately having accessibility, while their JS-based rivals still struggle with restoring the functionality of the back button and adding routes in their SPA to get back something resembling normal linking behavior. In a way that is a much deeper dusty hole in the ground to dig for oneself.

Anyway, it is questionable, how much progress there is in moving into walled gardens and throwing multi megabyte websites at visitors, when we can have the same functionality with less.
I'm sorry but giving wildly exaggerated options and suggesting and they're your only options is a bit disingenuous. How about just checking that they're okay instead of glaring at them for inconveniencing you?

And yes, really, I'm asking how they're a threat when they're unconscious? Just because they're homeless doesn't make them dangerous. This attitude of the homeless being a nuisance or and inconvenience instead of part of the community only exacerbates the problem and makes them less likely to receive the help they need. Homelessness is a complex issue and I'm not sure what the solution is but seeing them as people in tough circumstances that need help is a start.

I used both of these. My WM journey so far:

- olwm/olvwm: virtual desktops and the 19" SPARCStation 2 monitor was absolutely amazing at the time

- fvwm, fvwm2

- sawmill/sawfish was my intro to programmable WMs. It was great until Gnome gobbled it up as its default WM eventually ruining it

- GWM I believe is actually older than then all of the above but I haven't discovered it until I was looking for an alternative for sawfish

- StumpWM was my introduction to tiling WMs and having a proper REPL to allow modifying it live. I don't think that GWM had a REPL but I might be wrong

- EXWM is where I've been for quite a while now. Folding X window management into Emacs buffer management was just as amazing as olvwm was back in the day.

Regarding Sawfish I know that development continued after the Gnome adventure and I could have stuck with it but "Gnome ruined it" is how I perceived it at the time. I can't remember what the specific issues were that made me look for alternatives.
Roblox, Fortnite Creative, Overwatch Workshop, and Minecraft modding says false. Heck, even Paradox Games have a vibrant modding community. Children still yearn for the mines, but they don't need to build their own game engine any more, and the adults have found more efficient ways to exploit them.
Well if the DOM is all unstructured divs with no semantic information, can a human even tell what it means without applying the structural styling on the page?

A good example would be a misguided approach at making a bunch of labels with values that are aligned. Someone told this poor developer that <table> is bad, so they figure hey, let's use CSS to lay it out. They make a dictionary of the key/value pairs and iterate over all the keys in the first column into the first div and then output all the values in the second div.

div
- label 1
- label 2

div
- value 1
- value 2

If there's 100 key/values it's going to be hard for a human to figure out which value is for the 76th item, and LLMs have proven to be very bad at indexing problems like that so I wouldn't expect it to be a better story there.

(Not saying this wouldn't work in some cases, just couldn't be a general solution given the crap out there)
Team Claims to Replicate LK99
The bulk cost of this material is not going to be the problem with commercialization. The ingredients and labor aren't very expensive. The problem is that no one has found a process to consistently make chunks bigger than like a rice grain of this stuff.
Hahh, GPT-2 is not trademarked by anyone
Why would you get ossification? The point of XML based RPC protocols was that XML had lots of extension features like namespaces and parsers were dime a dozen.

The forgotten 2000-era web had solutions for all of this in the form of XML and XSLT. The server serves XML, which is "semantic" (data structures). The XML has a header pointing to an XSLT file, which defines a functional transform of the XML to HTML. You could use namespaces to embed semantic info inside other schemas like XHTML if you wanted, also.

It never took off, partly because XSLT was a pretty unpleasant programming language (I actually built a product with it back in the day), partly due to latency reasons and partly because the XML vision wasn't sufficiently backwards compatible with regular HTML.

These days browsers don't support such tech anymore, so you need to treat HTML+JS as an app platform, HTTP as an RPC protocol and JSON as the serialization format but because that arrangement was never really designed per se there are lots of little missing pieces, like being able to discover the RPC protocol a web app uses without actually executing that app.
I'm a nontechnical marketer with a senior person who builds internal tools. We very much have this problem. We get it...most of the way there. But without a strong system to distribute it, get feedback, get buy-in, a lot of the work is underutilized.
How about we take it a step further and carry data over power line? Look ma no wires.
I think if it was actually zero it would be? The issue I think is impurity/defects in the manufactured samples, so there's non-superconducting bits in addition to the allegedly superconducting bits.
Geopolitical competition is driven by absolute advantage not relative. At PRC scale, activing fraction of population to high skill is enough to compete with US+co, and PRC's fraction of that high skill talent is set to increase multiple times over coming decades. There's a reason why PRC moving from ~2M STEM to ~20M STEM grew economy from 1T to 19T and is at close to parity / at parity / even leading in full spectrum of industrial sectors whereas "small" countries like JP and SKR has to pick and choose where to compete. With PRC population they can do everything, and in fact can't not considering they're graduating ~5M STEM per year and will add more STEM (50-100M) than US will add population in next 30 years. PRC is not JP and SKR, and TW, it's on trend to be 4-6x JP+SKR+TW without the geopolitical constraints that prevent US partners from full competition against US in critical strategic industries.

>comfirmed falsifying

Here's a more rigours NBER light study on PRC GDP being underestimated by much more accomplished economists aka not retarded like Martinez study.

https://www.nber.org/papers/w23323

Here's a more comprehensive GDP resconstruction by Rhodium, leading economic search group that focus on PRC that also reports underestimation, ~10% by 2014. Including work by David Dollar, one of the more competent PRC economic analyst at Brookings that also led discussion of your second link, noting it had 2 models of over estimation and went with the much higher overestimation model vs the lower (basically marginal amount) one that was probably more correct.

https://www.csis.org/analysis/broken-abacus

No one takes PRC GDP reporting at face value, but anyone with half a brain can see PRC climbing western science and innovation indexes (controlled for quality), moving up global value chain, displacing other advanced economies in increasing amount of intermediate and final goods and doing all that rapidly in last 10 years that US basically needs to go full spectrum containment beyond what they did for USSR while acknowledge PRC is greater challenge then USSR ever was. Anyone with half a brain can also napkin math future skilled workforce between US @35M STEM + ~600K per year, vs PRC @20M STEM ~5M (M as in million) per year and understand PRC will have more STEM workforce than US in a few years, and possibly 2-3x more STEM by 2050 even factoring in PRC demographics. Cut that in half and PRC's future potential is still outrageous.

This seems reductive to me.

There's "HTML" and then there's the kind of website where the final DOM isn't known until the user has already been attempting to read it for 10 seconds. There is a substantial difference in the % of browser capabilities that need to be exercised between the extremes of use.

Complexity of implementation is what ultimately separates the good from the bad. Any tool can be operated skillfully or poorly. An apprentice with a circular saw and a fully charged battery can do a hell of a lot of damage. A master may elect to use no tool at all and simply bang on the side of the thing (I.e. push back on the business).

The latest websites I have built are some of my most compatible ever. I don't use web sockets anymore. I don't depend on JavaScript to have piecemeal conversation with the server. You can actually use ~80% of the product with JavaScript entirely disabled. How are the engineering choices demonstrated here not exactly the solution for walled garden lock-in?

> Police patrol will catch you walking down an empty street at 3 AM with a kitchen knife in hand.

That’s really not the (main or significant) reason why Japan has a low murder rate.

Many European countries where there is little societal pressure, direct control and enforcement, drug use is fairly widespread and low level crime is rampant in large urban centers (compared to Japan of course) have comparable murder rates.

In this regard US is a huge outlier compared to pretty much all other “first world” countries.
I believe the grandparent is making a valid point. It depends on implicit assumptions we have in mind reading it.

The way I'm reading your comment, that JSON-based (or XML-based, or some binary format-based for that matter) media type encodes hyperlinks in some form. Then the client is a simplified, specialized browser, if you will. But the mechanics of client/server interaction are essentially the same as a "traditional" web application (as in Django, RoR, PHP, etc).

And if it's a machine-to-machine interaction, the client is very simalar to a web crawler/scraper, although the media types it parses is not necessary HTML.

In other words, you are absolutely right in that REST is non confined to HTML.

What the grandparent means by JSON API, I think, is the kind of HTTP API we are used to see designed for mobile and SPA clients -- pretty URIs for endpoints, HTTP methods, JSON-serialized request/response bodies...

Those can actually be very nice API, pleasant to work with. It's just that it's not REST.

But at this point, it's probably more productive to go with the flow and just accept people refer to such API as REST.

That said, to me, understanding the difference is still valuable. Even if I'm not going to mention it out loud in a work setting.
Yes but the problem is that engineering projects tend to consist of two halves. There is the first 90% of the work and there is the second 90% of the work.
Show HN: Logorax – AI logo generator for professionals
Hey HN! We're building the best AI logo maker out there. Our goal is to make these logos so good, that it will be a no brainer solution for all MVPs, internal projects and even for white-label design services from agencies.

Later on we're also planning on adding new feature that will allow you to get a full branding done by the AI.

We will also have tools for enterprise and a rapid logo creation process for the internal projects.

Feel free to join the waitlist and be a part of our community.

Thanks!
Thanks for reply, I appreciate it a lot.

> Get involved with your local community of makers, get them intrigued by your idea and its potential, connect with people that will help you build it.

This will prevent me from patenting it. I can also make first prototype myself, I've started last year, will try to finish this year. Funding would just let me drop one job and make it faster.

> Patent it, and then raise funds via the Internet to try and build it. Seek out local VCs. I know that's a lot to ask, on top of two jobs, but I didn't organize our economy.

I don't have enough money for patenting something that might not work. That's why I need to make a prototype. That prototype will be MUCH cheaper than a proper patent but takes some time which I also don't have too much (but working on it slowly). When I'm sure it works, I already have enough connections to make it actually happen.

At this moment, funding my prototype would just benefit humanity with earlier knowledge of whether it works, so of course no one sane will fund it, that's the sad reality with human priorities.

> I know that's a lot to ask, on top of two jobs, but I didn't organize our economy.

Yeah, I've only asked for tips just in case you have some, I don't blame you or anything. Thank you!

This thread also describes WHY those LK-99 researchers sat on their invention for so long, they just couldn't find enough people interested in their material.

Of course I could just publish my idea, but it's possible that no one would be interested in this and I would like to have some money from this to pursue some other ideas without begging people for support.
It's indeed racist and not not "racist".
Injecting random noise into your brain and finding intelligent connections says you are smart.

Your comment says nothing about whether we are “near AGI”, only that we find images within Rorschach blobs (as a metaphor for GPT4 generated text).
Can you explain
Thank you for sharing, I love it.
Manual memory management is one more thing to care about instead of the actual logic. With automatic memory management, you don't need to think about memory at all; what could be simpler?
Just like with Y2K a lot of things are proofed already. But to avoid things falling over, everything has to be proofed. Not just the kernel, also file formats, file system formats, programming languages and libraries and applications.

That’s a big project with a lot of players and we won’t know if they all did their job right until the clock rolls over.
