Ask HN: What is a good web stack for solo founder?
My project is in infancy, I'm mostly done with PoC, and have a potential stack in mind, but would like to take a look at what more experienced folks are doing anyway. I have dabbled in most established languages at some point and have a general preference to statically typed languages, but I've enjoyed Elixir and Clojure for small stuff, even used Janet for a tiny thing(local network only). But please feel free to add anything.
I believe we have “likeness” laws in the US that (in theory) should cover this. Though I haven’t looked into it - anyone know if I’m wrong or not?
One thing everyone will do regardless is a physiological sigh, about every 5 minutes. That may be what you're noticing. That's completely natural.
I think support implies a lot that I guess they don’t want to imply.
And just how many "escape the sandbox" security holes have been found in major smartphone OS's, in just the past year?
They also have an insane amount of traffic - very envious, they'll be able to capitalise on other things as soon as they start to build commercial products people are willing to pay big money for.
the thing is tech that is being forced is simply not there. I don't want to install app that asks for 1000 permissions just to pay for entrance, scaning qr code and being redirected to web payment form should be the maximum such venues should ask.
They are covering a range of use-cases. I agree the naming is inconsistent. It goes like this:

• Repository storage is free, with a paid enterprise offering, à la GitHub.

• Serving a demo app has hourly costs (“Spaces Hardware”)

• Serving a production model for an app hosted elsewhere is also hourly (“Inference endpoints”)

• Training models is free for now (“AutoTrain”; honestly I haven’t tried this one.)
The articles focus on the marketplace element and "for sale" seems strange given that everything in it is available for free. Any of the the models or LORAs can be downloaded without payment and run locally, the apps and websites mentioned are just charging for running the models.

Now we need code quality benchmarks comparing this against GPT-4 and other contenders.
A smartphone with monthly internet is a substantially more expensive proposition. It is a device that can fail or break at any point without immediate recourse. You are at the mercy of a Google/Apple duopoly and are forced to carry around this device for even minor trivialities.

Smartphones are tracking devices as well. There are really good arguments to be made that I should reasonably opt out from an un-auditable, expensive hyper-tracker with a monthly subscription cost.
The 34b Python model is quite close to GPT4 on HumanEval pass@1. Small specialised models are catching up to GPT4 slowly. Why not train a 70b model though?
Which "they"?

C definitely considers a segfault as the intended result of bad user input. Perl actually has the dump function to create a segfault. Lots of configurations for lots of things have, "This gives you speed+flexibility but is unsafe."

In all of these cases, the intended result of bad user input is a segfault. It just comes with the territory. For example nginx allows third party modules to be loaded. There is no way to avoid the fact that some third party modules will dump core. Should nginx therefore stop allowing third party modules? How is that fundamentally different?
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I see this more of an issue of User Experience / Service Design than anything else.

Physical check-in means you provide your ID / Passport, and a boarding pass is printed by the check-in staff. Most of the work is hidden from you (the employee enters all numbers, clicks all boxes, etc.) so from a service design perspective it's a simple process. However, it's costly, and requires you to stand in line.

Digital check-in is not on the same level, there's no standard across airlines, not one app to do it all. And the process hasn't been simplified at all, all the work has just been delegated to the user. This is not an issue for tech-savvy people who're used of entering forms and using digital tools, but I still believe it's a poor user experience.

Ideally, you'd want a unified digital solution where all you have to do is click one button, scan the RFD chip in your passport and click check-in.

The solution is NOT to bring back cash and manual check-in counters, but to look at it purely from a service design perspective to make it simple and inclusive. Which I'm sure will benefit everyone in the end.

In that same thread that you've linked, other people have later replied arguing for why they prefer Stack so... I don't really think that you've given an argument that is persuasive enough to someone who is new to Haskell.

(And I'm not even that new to Haskell. It's just that I don't use it every day and when I come back to it and have to remember the weird incantations and dances I have to perform to make HLS not crash or want to overwrite my stack-installed Haskell version, I'm usually rather annoyed.)

Love to see this writeup, and that you're enjoying FTC! I spent a ton of my time in college leading a VEX U team, and it was a tough but incredibly rewarding experience. It's a lot of fun and made me a much better engineer. It's unfortunate that FIRST doesn't really have any collegiate programs (excluding the mentoring groups that some colleges have), but VEX U gives you a similar experience to FTC with the increased freedom in machining and such. I would highly recommend joining or starting a team if/when you go to college!
> Why can’t people be responsible for their actions or lack of them

They are responsible for their actions, same as the people implementing these ill-informed changes are responsible for theirs.

What you miss, other than people who simply don't know, is that there is a whole universe of people for whom these solutions do not work and who are not accounted for. Accessibility is a gigantic problem in app-only spaces. Plus people who temporarily do not have a device due to loss or lack of money or simply a dead battery.

There was another article posted recently that humans are, by and large, "temporarily abled." We are born not being able to care for ourselves, we go through various stages of being or not being able to do so, and most of us die being unable to care for ourselves. Our relationship with technology is the same way.

For everywhere, but especially for sole-source things like government, transport, large public venues, and so on, accessibility must be paramount and that absolutely includes both people who cannot hear or see through people who do not have the latest technology either by choice or necessity.

The genie is out of the bottle though. If all beekeeping stopped, honeybees would still be everywhere -- perhaps in smaller numbers, perhaps not.

Are there any proposals to ban beekeeping?

It's possible that in Texas the property tax break incentive for beekeeping will be removed, because it's fairly new and because it's getting abused. But I seriously doubt that a ban on beekeeping will pass anywhere.

There are non-native plants (like almond trees) in the North Americas that are mainly pollinated by non-native bees. We couldn't realistically outlaw even just commercial beekeeping, though politically it may be possible to outlaw amateur beekeeping (would that make a dent?).
How do you manage disagreements in fusion?
I don’t believe they’re going for the same hosted monetization as Oracle or Google. I’m sure they’ll play around with assistant AIs but you can imagine them leveraging their graph and data for this.

Who is better positioned to answer a question like, “What should I get my friend Sophia for her birthday?” Facebook/Instagram already have huge volumes of data to specifically target ads. They can feed those into a chat interface pretty easily.

Customers would then buy per impression by describing their product and trusting Facebook to place it correctly. They already do this today, it’s just a different medium.
>Or go to a restaurant and use your phone to scan a QR code to read their PDF menu on your phone.

Don't worry, they will have paper copies if you don't have a phone or are insistent you want to handle a grubby, contaminated piece of paper before you eat your meal.
Commercially it's not clear if there is a reliable "ahead", I'd be surprised if copyright lawsuits don't start hitting MS/OAI when publishers wake up and if you take out that training data where does it leave their models?
Seconded. I love this program.
Some people don’t want to accept the baggage of a smart phone (tracking, algorithmic advertisement, and other intrusions of privacy). I think they should be able to make that call.
Not really, because you cannot efficiently search by face and body features. IMHO publishing an image that looks like a famous actress, without indicating which actress it is, should be allowed. Sure, perhaps somebody could do an image search, but that's already more complicated process than synthesize your own fantasy.

There are other edge cases, for example, should an image of "Princess Leia" be allowed to be shared under that title, when it implies the resemblance to the actress? I think the answer is probably yes, like with the body features, character name is not enough to identify a person.

But it would not be allowed to mention Carrie Fisher in conjuction with such a picture, even by a 3rd party reposting the image.

Edit: Maybe anybody can recognize Emma Watson (myself, I am not sure, not HP fan), but the issue is how you then use any human image generator without potentially infringing some random actress (effectively banning them)? There are definitely facial features I like and I cannot discern that I like them because I saw them in some actress whose name I have long since forgotten.

The actresses tend to have wide variety of appearances, and there is not that many faces. It's gonna be a very contested rule. That's why I think it would be much easier to simply go after the name connection with the actress, rather than facial or bodily features.

The real problem here with the spec committee.

Lodash is MUCH faster than native because it uses iterators so you aren't actually looping over and over.

We need builtin iterator versions of all these looped functions so it adds an implicit/explicit `.valueOf()` that calls the chain and allocates only one new

Rust platform support is tiered[0]. Tier 1 targets are automatically tested, tier 2 targets are automatically built, and tier 3 targets are best-effort. Windows 7 is tier 1 and Windows XP is tier 3; what they're going to do is change the tier 1 Windows build to 10, but the Windows XP support isn't going anywhere.

For people who do run, which is quite frequent hobby, 10km is not all that much. My point is, quite a lot of educated people or middle class people do sport frequently and regularly. The back pain you mention is sometimes the trigger for it.

Whether it is running, going to the gym, calisthenics, yoga, or swimming, the richer "mollycoddled" and supposed "Karens" op mockingly referenced as spoiled are specifically the people who do sport the most.

It's worthwhile to retain paper as a business continuity strategy in an outage or disaster scenario - e.g. just in case servers or networks are down.

Seriously though, the hours spent fighting dependency injection and Hibernate issues alone, when working on a really big Java project, could've been a full-time job.

For maximum fun, I once worked on a large ERP system that started out as a Struts 2/Hibernate 3/Jetty project and had an entire Rails app bolted on using JRuby. Some of the stuff in the JRuby side was injected thru Spring. ActiveRecord had to talk through Hibernate.

I'd encourage you to first be opinionated about what you think makes good code. Maybe read some articles or books on it. Don't worry about being right or wrong--someone is definitely going to disagree with you no matter what you think.

And then read any code through that lens. Then read some different code and contrast it. What did you like more or less? What worked and what didn't? Where did it work and where didn't it?

Remember that code that is fantastic is some ways is often horrible in others (e.g. the legendary fast inverse square root).

Approaching it this way helps one consider the reasoning behind what makes certain code good, and forces one to examine the context of the code, which is also critical. And being opinionated helps you remember to apply those rules in the future.

Because those people can just keep using older versions of the compiler if they need binaries to run on those platforms (easier than ever with tools like rustup), and because actually maintaining things like build farms and testing a platform takes a lot of work.

What's wrong with QR codes for restaurant menus? Here are the pros I can come up with off the top of my head:

- Restaurants can experiment with more food options and more frequent updates to their menu

- Real time info on what's in stock

- Cuts out the cost of having to constantly reprint the menu

- Easier for customers to find the menu online when searching for restaurants (huge issue pre-COVID)

What are the actual downsides? Sure, there may be a tiny fraction of people without a smartphone, but they're likely accompanied by someone who does have one. Despite that, restaurants would likely keep a few physical menus on-hand.
I REALLY want customizable recommendation algorithms. I believe a lot of people would like this and it would keep them on platforms more because it makes the experience more enjoyable.

Judging by the amount of insufferable "Got it! Got it! Got it!" modals, pop ups and other bullshit in "modern" technology, the apps themselves are the disability - wasting time and getting in the way of doing the thing the user is actually trying to accomplish.
