This. When I was a kid in the 90s, I was told that "there's also Apple, they make Macintosh computers, those are very expensive but very good with colors and fonts". The only time I saw that first-gen iMac, and classic Mac OS when it was still current, was at some kind of computer exhibition. My next contact with Mac OS was in the late 00s when I discovered Hackintosh and the fact that my desktop at the time can run it.

Yup, that's the whole point of patent. To be able to "own" ideas, so nobody else can compete.

It takes capitalism from the realm of physical property to a realm of "ideas as property".

Patents to software were are a mistake. Patents in general are a mistake IMHO.

> That has... always... been a feature of D&D.

I'd argue that, going beyond the heroic fantasy setting, laser-painting a target to rain some Hellfire has been a thing since forever and a half, and is essentially the same core mechanics.

I'd also argue that Nintendo is perfectly aware of that, it doesn't take them much energy to put out some patent submissions out there, some may pass, and then it's a deterrence-by-litigation game: if you don't have deep pockets then you'd better stay clear or risk being sued to oblivion should Nintendo feel like challenging you (irrespective of whether the patents hold any water)

>He bought the car in 2015 so he’s lucky to get 8 year

I disagree with eight years being adequate for a modern car. I'd argue 10 to 15 years is more reasonable. I know it's unique system but even so it should last at least a decade.

Years ago cars were crap past three or four years. Any cars I had in the 80s as a teenager were bought used since cars four years old were very rough (rust, general wear and tear, electrical, carb issues, leaks). Anything 10 years old was ancient. Now my Mom had a 10 year old Toyota Camry and it's like a three year old car.
The ceaseless proliferation of polluting substances like forever chemicals, plastics, and pesticides stands as an unequivocal testament to humanity's reckless disregard for the wellbeing of our planet and its inhabitants.

Congrats. I will be very curious to see how this (and other companies that are built around an open source frontend/web library) work on monetizing themselves. Are there any successful businesses in that space?

I worry it will be truly challenging without a big compromise to morals/openness/etc. I kind of wonder if stuff like htmx should just be funded with a big grant so it never needs to worry about selling out users for profits and operating income. Or at the very least that it learns to run extremely lean, to not chase expensive fads, and to build itself into something that can survive off a modest "please donate/buy some stickers/tshirts or my book" income stream. I hope we don't see the day that suddenly there's no download link on their site and it's replaced with a, "please contact our sales team for a demo!".

As a sibling comment mentioned, threading on a gpu is not automatically deterministic so you could randomness from there, although I can't think of anything in the forward pass of a normal LLM they would depend on execution order. So yes, you should get the same, it's basically just matrix multiplication. There may be some implementation details I don't know about that would add other variability though.

Look at this minimal implementation (Karpathy's) of LLaMA, the only randomness is in the "sample" function that comes in at non-zero temperature, otherwise its easy to see everything is deterministic: https://github.com/karpathy/llama2.c/blob/master/run.c

Otoh, with MoE like GPT-4 has, it can still vary at zero temperature.
I think this always gets summarized as:

Tailwind is a pretty good framework for people who want to practice atomic CSS easily, and it is a bad framework for anyone trying to avoid that pattern.

I don't think the idea of an "economist algorithm" is to add an economic incentive, but rather to realize that such incentives already exist (of course people want to abuse and game the community notes) and to design a mechanism so that these incentives lead to using the system as intended. (cf. https://xkcd.com/810/ )
A smaller channel posted a detailed critique of LMG's output. Linus was an ass about it. Essentially the entire company including his new CEO called him in over it. This is the result: a video talking about what happened, how it happened, and how they plan to fix it.

Yeah it wasn't until I was reflecting and writing that comment that I realized _I don't remember the last time I had to look at CSS in the dev tools_ and how much better my life is for it.

Maybe I just suck at CSS. I mean, I've been using it for decades, but maybe I'm too stupid to actually understand it. And maybe it's the same story for everyone else I've ever worked with and that's why my experience with it has never lived up to the ideals.

... but if that's the case then at this stage of my career, with vast and varied accomplishments behind me, I think that says more about CSS than about me.
Nah. My next step is talking to senators and exposing how everyone here is training on everyone’s data without their permission.

Funny thing is that the example given of a "bad workflow" is in fact a fairly basic software development flow:

1. Ready to start (requirements and technical solution direction clear)

2. Working on it

3. Merge (to see if it also works live)

4. QA (typically dedicated role)

5. Regression testing (did we break anything?)

6. Release to Prod.

7. Sanity test on prod.

You could argue that you don't need both "Ready for QA" and "In QA" but for the QA team this distinction can be of value.

This doesn't even include a UX/UI sign-off, security audit, privacy review, and in my case several health-tech related audits.

For a typical developer, you're only asked to move your stories/tasks from 2-4, unless you get feedback from 5-7. That's not too much to ask, it's just basic sanity.

In my experience, that's not wasteful, it's a basic flow of work. What is wasteful instead is endless meetings that disrupt, of which only 10% of the content is relevant to you. What is wasteful is 5 million stakeholders asking about the status of things whilst that is the whole damn reason we have the system. What is wasteful is poorly written stories/tasks that require enormous detective work to understand. What is wasteful is constantly shifting priorities, moving work in and out of a sprint whilst it's already ongoing.

Yeah, Nintendo is an awful company. Unlike some other awful game companies, at least they create pretty good games.

But they really love trying to squeeze every cent and milking their customers to a point where it's disgusting.

My partner purchased a the latest Zelda and I can't even play it on my account on the same device: I need to buy another copy of the game (which obviously will never happen).
Did they have big storage though?

I get what you're saying — I'm just remembering Jobs demoing how his NeXT user account was remote and any NeXT machine he sat down on and logged into suddenly became "his" computer.

That's the "thin" client I'm thinking of. But maybe that's just "client".
Because you can't mesh at scale with wireguard (unless you have an infinite amount of monkeys).
HTMX the framework that sends a server request to put a textfield into edit mode?

Nah sorry, not convinced.
On the topic of filtering, this is literally something I tend to do only client side anymore, unless it is something where the size of the payload matters. Even smartphones don't have any issue with search through tables with a thousand lines.

So for such things I would give the user a very broad set of data via htmx and then allow for further (realtime) filtering via JS.

If I want them to be able to search through data that isn't displayed initially I just deliver it with a hidden css class and remove that class if it is searched for.

Htmx, like any technology, is very well suited for a certain set of problems — iif you don't try to make it do tricks it is not good at, you should be fine.
>Yes the book is good for you now, because there was a reason you picked it up in the first place.

I agree in general, but not with that specific statement. Even if there was a good reason you picked it up, it might not be a sufficiently good reason to spend 10 more hours on it, or to block the queue of other books that would be more valuable to you at that point in time.
"no such right exists" - the law would disagree with you on that one.

"Under Article 17 of the UK GDPR individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the 'right to be forgotten'." [1]

"The right to be forgotten appears in Recitals 65 and 66 and in Article 17 of the GDPR. It states, “The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay”" [2]

This obviously varies depending on jurisdictions, but a great number of users (EU citizens, and people resident in the EU - but additionally, the UK) absolutely have a "right to be forgotten," and brazenly claiming "no such right exists" is ignorant and fallacious, and such unfounded arrogance is a distinctly USian trait. For someone who purportedly lives outside the US, you don't seem to grasp that there are laws in other countries than the US.
That’s not it. The first place I saw large Mac adoption was all the long time Linux and Unix nerds in my CS dept. Suddenly there were heaps of G4 MacBooks all over CS. I got one based off the recommendation of a friend who was a FreeBSD user.
The "killing monkeys" is at least mildly relevant. How does this happen?

I say interesting, based solely on your bullets and not having read the article, because monkeys are similar enough primates to humans that when something affects them like that, we likely should be worried. We can't make ethical studies that result in death in humans (let alone debate the ethics on killing monkeys), so what's the scoop?

I had a Hybrid Audi Q5 and one day it just stopped working.

The dealership quoted me $25,000 for a new battery, plus labour, plus they said I had to manage the recycling of the old battery. They estimated that at $6,000. My head was spinning.

Eventually through a few Facebook groups I was able to find a battery technician. He happily opened up the battery, checked the cells, found the failed cells, repaired them and then had to do some work on the vehicle diagnostics to get it to forget there was ever a problem.

Voila, it was working just fine. Took him 90 minutes.
But then you cannot scale.

Outrage accept when it comes to actual things that kill people, like wars. We are all about getting lied to into wars, accepting hundreds of thousands of deaths, not punishing those who got us into wars, then promoting them and letting them start more wars. Where is the outrage for that?

This page illustrates why I just don't get HTMX. It seems like a ton of effort to save not a lot of server cycles and html over the wire.

I've done tabbed UIs that worked like HTMX. But instead of trying to do div surgery it replaced the entire tab. It was like 20 lines of JS and a few lines in Rails to render without a layout based on a URL query param.

When we're talking dozens of KBs of HTML for a tab it's not the extra complexity to try and slim that down.

It prevents new games from coming up with novel application/combinations of these mechanics.

Sutton cites people who were not convinced by the success of Deep Blue in chess:

> They said that ``brute force" search may have won this time, but it was not a general strategy, and anyway it was not how people played chess.

But it is now clear that these people were completely right! The Deep Blue approach (apparently mostly brute force search) didn't scale. E.g. Go wasn't solved this way, and the AlphaGo approach (based on reinforcement learning) did in fact scale to a lot of other games with AlphaZero and MuZero.

Sutton in fact says that both search and learning produce the big success in AI. But now, with the dominance of ML, it seems that mainly learning is responsible the big successes in AI, not search. Machine learning means that the AI models aren't written by hand, GOFAI style, like Deep Blue, but instead by a learning algorithm, which in turn is written by hand. That seems to be the breakthrough, not brute force search. (Do GPTs use "search" in any conventional way? I don't think so.)
Great news.

I have had good success and a rewarding experience using htmx the past year. It has been so great in tandem with Clojure using hiccup for SSR.

Once htmx clicks for you, you are almost left stunned by how simple and flexible it is. You can't believe that this isn't how HTML evolved to as a hypermedia. It becomes very obvious that this is how web development should have evolved. I hope someday that what htmx is doing through javascript becomes baked right into HTML and the browser clients.

If you are mistakenly believing it is just some derivative of Angular or you are not grasping the significance of its advancement of the architecture of hypermedia, please do yourself a favor and read the excellent essays on their site; you will then truly understand what REST is and what the importance of real HATEOAS means: https://htmx.org/essays/

They also have a free book here: https://hypermedia.systems/

We made a costly wrong turn 10 -15 years ago by attempting to rebuild thick clients on the web with a JSON API architecture instead of expanding and enriching the new and powerful idea of the early web: hypermedia.

I wrote ASP then, and it worked fine. We also wrote our own htmx like handlers. The main reason that people forget is that js was just too slow on the client to really do anything. The only way to get performance was render pieces on the server and replace the client html.

I remember having the server render js multi-dimensional arrays consisting of key and html snippet that client js could reference to do html manipulation more quickly.

Good times.

How many components in your application actually need the exact same layout tweaks in every use instance?

There are some properties of CSS that are more static across screen sizes. Colors, borders, backgrounds, font-size (debatable!), animations, and maybe even some high level layouts (12 column grid, etc).

The rest of CSS is minute positioning via padding, margins, and widths. Often you need to customize those details to use slightly different values dependent on context within the application itself. This is where utility classes shine.
I think it's supposed to go the other way. One adjusts the sprint point capacity based on recent point completion trends. The abstraction should make it harder to over promise because it's disconnected from discrete units of time.

Of course it may not work well or at all. I know managers and executives still try to convert them to units of time.
