Easy --- ask god (or AI itself) for a sign.

"Emergent" intelligence/consciousness is technology's version of a religious "belief" --- widely accepted with absolutely no basis in reality. Once you make the leap, non-circular logic is frowned upon and actively discouraged.

With time and motivation, someone will figure out a way to monetize this irrationality --- just like every other religion. Without logical boundaries, it should be fairly easy to train a LLM to act like a supreme consciousness (aka a god) and collect bitcoin to keep the power on.

It also usually means an app can be MVP'd a lot faster with less resource and fewer vertical skillsets

Large structural changes can often then be made early in the project by a single person or alternate concepts quickly prototyped when it's effectively a monolith -- you don't as quickly get locked into "we'll just have to live with that now"

I'm not against introducing client-side once the final functional form is reached if justifiable gains somewhere -- but from day-one it's usually just a headwind on a project of any complexity
I've never had to make an appointment to walk in and buy something, although they do sometimes ask for a pickup window if you order ahead online. Even in the height of the pandemic I don't think they limited shopping to appointment only.
I think from the comments here: probably? I don't know anything about Svelte, so I can't really say, but you're the third person I've seen say "this sounds like Svelte", so I'm inclined to think you're all right :)

So has it taken off / is it taking off? If not, why not? Or more to the point of my original comment: Why is something like this just now taking off? Has something new enabled this in the last few years?

It's not a new idea was my point in my comment, so I'm curious why the idea never seemed to take off in the past, and why it might be poised to now.
Much as I dislike Chrome....no, it's not?

Chrome is a privacy risk. It's not a security hole in the sense that bad actors can exploit its horribly buggy code and gain privileged access to your system (at least, not commonly that I've heard of).

Chrome is proprietary, to be sure, but it's heavily based on the open-source Chromium.

I'm not aware of Chrome being massively unstable on any common system—however, I freely admit that as I don't use it myself, I might just not be noticing the complaints of others because they don't show up where I would see them.

...Chrome is absolutely a resource hog. No argument there.

>Yes, brains are RF transceivers. This is why transcranial magnetic stimulation is effective.

First, TMS operates at frequencies of 1-10 Hz, so that's well below RF. Second, an RF transceiver is a device capable of sending and receiving a signal over RF, not just anything that emits RF or that is physically affected by RF. Otherwise a glass of water is an RF receiver, because when I put it in the microwave it heats up.
> What important truth do very few people agree with you on?

Seems like answering with SSR would fail a Thiel interview for two reasons:

1. It's not important (in the grand scheme of things)

2. It's not a view that very few people hold. SSR was the standard way to do things for a couple of decades up until frameworks like React, and React itself now implements SSR, doesn't it?

Thiel uses this question to try and determine if someone is or can be a free thinker, someone who can discern something to be true even in the face of significant social opposition. That's valuable if you're an investor looking for overlooked opportunities, or an entrepreneur trying to find an edge in a highly competitive market. But there is no taboo or significant social opposition to SSR webapps, and bluntly, no edge to be found there.
> Linux + Nvidia suck btw.

That's a pretty strong statement. I use both and it's been very smooth sailing for me, switching to Windows is something that comes with so many headaches that I couldn't make the case for it, besides I wouldn't know what to improve compared to how it is today. Using multiple GPUs under linux while also using them to drive a display is perfectly normal.

Was there anything specific that you would like to see improved on a Linux/NVidia combo that I may simply never have run into?

I personally much, much prefer the UX on Linux. I may be suffering from some kind of Stockholm syndrome as a long time Linux user, but I have to use macOS for work and it absolutely doesn't work for me.

I find the UX quirky and akward to use. I hate how the window management works. I hate how annoying it is to get two windows to show side by side. I hate how there end up so many icons in the menu bar which are entirely unhelpful. I hate how space inefficient the dock is, but when you auto hide it, you can no longer see the notification counts at a glance.

I would honest to God rate macOS UX a 2/5 for design and a 5/5 for QA.
TIHI. I refuse to believe it for my sanity's sake.
Discord!

Seriously, there are loads of communities of super motivated people (many of them young) in the exact same position as you.

Some of the older folks on HN have a distaste for Discord and don’t see it as being a place for serious discussions, but I assure you, among the teenagers there are also super smart, always-online engineers and builders absolutely chomping at the bit to start talking projects.
This is why I shun any and all front-end frameworks. They all suffer from this (except lit) with their shadow-dom.

> Unless AI becomes indistinguishable from human beings on a cellular level, yes, it’s entirely relevant and is the single most relevant thing.

I disagree.

Thought experiment: design a circuit which has as many inputs and outputs as a biological neurone, such that it always maps inputs to outputs in the same way (including the observation that this isn't a static map but one which changes over time), then connect them as neurons are in one of us.

While clearly nothing like an natural brain on a cellular level, I believe this is a sufficient similarity to be "the same parlour tricks".

The question then is: how close does the design actually need to be, while not losing anything of importance?

Perceptrons were only ever a toy model, so they may well be insufficient; but on the other hand, for a sense of scale, GPT-3 is about the complexity of a rodent brain rather than a human brain — and that suggests that humans could learn to be simultaneous experts in many dozens of fields and languages with a mere tenth of a percentage point of our brains if only we lived long enough to read the entire internet.

Which matters most — neurons, connective structure, learning environment, or something else — is, I think, still an open question. But even between all the differences, AI collectively are general purpose enough to at least suspect these things have got a lot of similarities where it matters.

Vaccine safety data and studies are typically collected well beyond the almost three years this vaccine has been around. If you think we don't need any further testing, then my point of the vaccine being under EUA is even more relevant. It should not need EUA if that were the case.

All this noise around "back to the roots" template rendering seems to ignore the elephant in the room that FE devs DON'T want to work with jinja2, django templates and all this jazz as it is perceived as a devaluation of the role + they need to learn specific syntaxes instead of having a "one size fits all" approach like with js frameworks.

This is so awesome - thanks for sharing this - my daughter also has epilepsy, but it is fortunately controlled by medication.

It seems that stimulating the vagus nerve resets something to default in the brainstem when a cascade event is about to occur - probably shuts down the errant signals from propagating to the entire brain ???.

I have this dream scenario where they discover that the gentle swirling of a cotton swab in the ear canal stimulates the vagus nerve and has these tremendous health benefits, allowing the sanctimonious anti-cotton-swab-in-the-ear brigade to sit down and shut up for a minute.
This is a good thing. By requiring paid access to more websites, you might find there’s less people spewing garbage in comments sections etc, since they can’t really afford a bunch of accounts to just troll around.
Wait until they find out that you don't even need to use client-side JavaScript frameworks to do their rendering on the server...
Actually no, the "unit" in unit tests is about isolation: the test can be executed as an independent unit, not about a unit of code (single class/method). If you search around, the leading experts who popularized unit tests described it as such.

It is perfectly fine to test multiple classes as a unit, in fact you probably already do so, as I would be extremely surprised if you mock your string class in all your unit tests.
I honestly wonder if everything that is a best practice on the backend and frontend these days is a net negative compared to "Write your own PHP or Python code which outputs your own HTML+CSS+JS".

Especially for indiemakers and startups by technical founders.

All the frameworks add so much complexity and confusion.

And I have seen several startups fail because when the developer was confronted with breaking changes of their framework, they said "Ok, that's enough. I'm not going to plow through this".

The simple "PHP or Python talks to the DB and outputs an HTML interface" type startups have a pretty good success ratio on the other hand.
While I sympathize with finding the imagery too small to read quickly, I think this is an elitist attitude that you'll find increasingly separates you from your younger peers. You don't have to lace your own sentences with emoji, but to declare sentences you read that contain them to be devoid of meaning, I think you're prejudicially shutting down lots of dialogue.
Additionally OpenBSD 3.3 was released in 2003. In 2005 SUN started with opensourcing large parts of the SPARC processor design. You can find some of it here: https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc.html
Doesn't the singleton example contain an error?

On one hand, the author says that instanciating the singleton and storing it is not safe because there is no synchronization, but on the other hand he says that null check before is safe because the mutex introduces synchronization.

My understanding would be that the mutex protects this whole section and that the atomic is not necessary at all in this case.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
> It's cheaper

> You will need a backend anyway. It'll need to expose data to users. Exposing it as HTML is no harder than doing it via JSON or GraphQL

Sure, if your "app" is just buttons and UI that interacts with a backend DB, I agree. However, many PWAs and native apps do lots of heavy lifting on the client side, and loading the backend with that is not cheap at all!
I still use google docs for my own spreadsheets because it’s just a better tool, and it keeps my files available on every device.

The toolbar UI story is that MS added the ribbon UI in 2007 and LO finally added it in but didn’t turn it on, they now have a settings page with multiple toolbar versions you can pick from for some reason. Meanwhile the ribbon is now obsolete before LO even utilised it.

Take a look at how dreadful the LO toolbar is. Hundreds of random icons for things you couldn’t even name. Compared to google docs where every icon on the toolbar is identifiable and useful.
This seems like an unfortunate, but reasonable, given the circumstances, approach, but you'd have to make sure that none of your dependencies, including Apple's frameworks, have code that calls select.
Funny, I've taken to calling it the Brick Book for its brickwall cover.
My understanding of the future evolution of AI is following:

ANI (GPT/AlphaGo/Dalle/StableDiffusion) -> AGI (something having bank account, ability to own some businesses and nation) -> something conscious -> ASI (which gonna tell us good-bye losers).

But since the definition of "consciousness" is something hard to define, hard problem of consciousness - you may put this point of evolution not in the place I use to put it in and have a different outcomes.

This is what react server components is: the component tree renders on the server and is sent over a chunked http connection, gradually filling the page. The code is not sent to the client because events that necessitate a rerender go back to the server in a new request.
Also, we are talking multiple shots and boosters, not a single vaccination. If young, healthy males are not in the high-risk group for a COVID infection, then why recommend several vaccines to them that carry this risk? How about not recommending it to healthy, young people like Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark have done. And we are still at less than 3 years since the vaccine was first administered. There are still ongoing studies, however, Pfizer invalidated their long-term study by vaccinating their control group under the guise of worrying about the control group's health & safety.
As CTO they don't know what I do
You're an engineering leader, reading the latest anonymous survey results and you come across the feedback: "I don't really know what you do".

For your entire career you've been making things. Every day you stood up and said what you did yesterday and today. It's been so clear what you do for years, but then you end up in a leadership position and it got murkier.

Should you go back to stand-ups? Do an expose? Hire a film crew to record your day to day? There can be a real urge to share these details and validate your existence.

But it's a trap.

Communication is your job now and communicating these details is going to do you a disservice. You need to double check your motivations when you communicate and make sure it's really the most effective way to achieve your larger goals.
Correction: seems like the Error crate is working to natively acquire support for reporting backtrace automatically [1]. Extending that to add line number support seems reasonable. That way you get an upgrade across all codebases without anyone needing to make any changes.

> seems like such a gross omission.

Almost all space mission code only ever has the so-called 'happy path'. We rely on extremely tight mechanical and aerospace engineering tolerances to achieve that happy path.

The Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror grinding was off by a matter of micrometres, and resulted in blurry images.

Consider all the Mars rovers. Imagine some wind gust threw the descending module off course, or a retro-rocket failed because of vibrations.

Writing code for space missions isn't like writing a CRUD app. Developers can't just teleport to a space probe millions to billions of kilometres away to rectify errors and debug running code on the fly.

For the record, the 'failure path' for Apollo 11 was to get the US President to announce to the world that the two astronauts would likely be marooned on the Moon. Apollo 13 very nearly failed, too.
Show HN: MLStacks – open-source tool to deploy MLOps infrastructure in minutes
MLStacks is a Python package that allows you to quickly spin up MLOps infrastructure using Terraform.

It is designed to be used with ZenML, but can be used with any MLOps tool or platform.

Simply write stack and component YAML specification files and deploy them using the MLStacks CLI. MLStacks will take care of the rest. We currently support modular MLOps stacks on AWS, GCP and K3D (for local use).

Thank you for your feedback!

That was my first idea, but as I thought about it I said to myself, what's the most important feature? Having a browser extension that can take a simple txt file from the web.

There are already some great tools for this (gist, pastebin in particular). Developing the infrastructure to manage the lists, although not very complicated, took a bit more time.

Here I have a simple html page to present the extension, the extension itself is hosted by Google (and soon Firefox, I hope...) and... that's it :)

But of course, if the idea takes off, I'll make it available!
This. Let's not ride the hype train and overengineer anything. Just use any simple solution that can get the work done.
