I built an app using Cappuccino and Objective-J back around 2010.

We even built an EOF/CoreData clone on top of it. Good times.

It was incredible to work with, but ultimately not very “webby”.

I’d rather have WebObjects back. It should have never died.

Once again, it's not quite as simple as that.

This debate did not start just last year, lol, it has been going on for years. There's a reason you can't just simply slap a discriminator on things and get away scot free.

It'll be an ongoing cat and mouse game for....as long as we can tell, probably.

(Also, the author mentioning the deconvolution checkerboard should be a dead giveaway that this debate has been raging for years, if you've had experience in the field over the last several years.)

I don't claim that Python is the perfect language and it will never be replaced, in popularity, by something that is better.

What I'm saying is that considering Python a bad language, just because there are some languages that improve on some of its shortcomings, is just wrong.

As of today, Python is the most popular, hence (as a corollary) the best choice for most people. One day that might change, sure. These aren't mutually exclusive.

I don't agree with the claim about the market not being "rational". Someone who adopts Python even when given requirements that are clearly beyond the language's capabilities isn't going to last long in such market (and neither will their choices).

On the other hand there are plenty of people (myself included) who prefer using Python whenever possible, even though they have been "educated" in the use of other languages (I'd say I'm fairly comfortable with Typescript or even C building non trivial systems). I guess I'm not innovative enough :)
(author here): it wasn't. This is how I write, and probably an example of ChatGPT flagging neurodivergent/non-native speakers as AI-generated.
> Here is what has changed: we no longer trust developers as much and we are re-introducing the complexity that we were fighting. Modern Python can at times be impossible to comprehend for a developer. In a way in some areas we are creating the new Java. We became the people we originally displaced. Just that when we are not careful we are on a path to the world's worst Java. We put typing on a language that does not support it, our interpreter is slow, it has a GIL.

If you believe type hints in Python are a net negative, then just don't use them.

I also don't get the performance argument: Type hints aren't evaluated at runtime, so whether code has them or not shouldn't matter for performance.

Hello Hacker News community, I'm Alberto, a dedicated Full Stack Developer ready to dive into a new project immediately. If you're a project owner or startup founder with an intriguing idea, I'm here to discuss your needs and explore your code or project challenges, no strings attached. I'm keen on meeting new people and engaging with exciting, innovative concepts. Let's connect and see how I can help bring your vision to life!

Ksplice is the original live patching technology that got bought by Oracle and was later extended to user space programs while I worked there. It's a really neat technology that isn't made obsolete by the move to cloud, since you still don't want to have to restart the whole fleet at scale.

I run LinuxMint MATE on my desktop and have done so for years. If I need a LiveCD/LiveUSB, I just use my LinuxMint USB install stick.

I also have a complete system installed on a 64gig or greater USB stick, as a portable backup system. But I have rarely used it. I say 'stick', but it's a tiny little flat tab thing about 2cm by 1cm by 1mm. (looks a bit like two micro-SD cards stuck end to end.) It lives on the key-ring holding my bank-fobs.
SaaS is how most people use open source, which is very ironically the least open way of using software. Closed source commercial (local) software is considerably more open and offers far more privacy and freedom.
It is helpful for the right kind of people. If that's not you, simply move along.

How many OS would you need to really support? 4 or 5?
On top of that docs/knowledge would be more standardised. Google/peers/family would help people more.
(author here): I am actually more focused on training corpus and tooling around foundational models, and the possibility of run these models on resources you control. An analogy would be the CPU and the opensource software running on top. I know people want the entire toolchain to be opensource, but I think the real value lies in that "top-layer".
I agree with the general principle.

My point is, we should acknowledge that there are some cases "right on the edge" that would naturally favor mechanical instead of electronic solutions, but the ability to cheaply enforce proprietary restrictions pushed them "over the edge" to using an electronic solution instead.

In these cases we should indeed consider replacing electronics with mechanical solutions — if not for retrofit, at least for later product iterations.
It is interesting to look at the SKPP and what a conforming implementation ensures against seL4, which has been formally verified to be correct.

SKPP requires non-interference but not actual correctness, whereas with seL4 it actually is shown that a kernel call meet some formal requirement.
> don't care how computers can be more useful for them

My guess is that the OP doesn't see this as a computer being more useful for them, but instead sees it as being less useful as it requires more work to get the same result.

And if you're in a domain where crashes aren't necessarily a problem, or where security isn't a top priority (non-public facing tools often fall into this category), correctness (in the general case) and safety don't automatically map to utility.
I am getting a Toyota, a 10 year old ICE should be affordable for me and would probably give me 3-4 years without too much value deprecation.

An 10 year old EV, I don't know. Seems like a real gamble considering most battery warrants are only 8 years and would cost as much as the car to replace.
It's not over, and it will never be over if we don't admit that it's here and still killing people, witnessed by the excess mortality. We're like an ostrich with a head in the sand!
That’s untrue, they have a mandatory declassification review date. The review can push the date back effectively infinitely through further reviews. The special circumstances, as you call them, are that the reviewer deems that information needs to remain classified.

So I guess the right to a speedy trial only violated if the prosecution delay the trial for no good reason, but if the whole system is under resourced it doesn’t count?
The point is that most of the popular statically-typed languages (C, C++, Java, C#) didn’t have any type inference when python got really popular.

(Edited from “was invented” to “got really popular”… python was invented before Java or C#… Type inference in these major language didn’t happen until circa 2010 or later.)
Can confirm it's been very useful. And though we're all engineers, the goals don't necessarily need to be programming related. In the last cohort I finished my book draft, for example. For the next one I'm considering focusing on building a RAG-based application and tackling some lifting goals, but will see.

Thank you! I generally don't see as much support for them and needs to use old versions of it was supported. This trend is happening more and more, it's unfortunate but it seems like we need to use a newer GPU now.
I think that is a pretty good assumption to make. The vast majority of websites are being made for the average person to use, and the average person is using one of the big browsers with more or less standard settings.

You could write a website that doesn’t use JavaScript, is meant to be accessed primarily through curl, etc but if it’s a business project then you’re going to end up with a product that your users (average people) will view as more janky than otherwise, and you’ll spend more time and money on it too, for the benefit of 0.01% of the population who would be slightly inconvenienced if you didn’t.
Last time I heard a few years ago, it cost low seven figures by the time you're done with everything.

There's not a lot of competition in this space.
What's stopping some influential websites from blocking Google IPs or even Chrome browsers?

Technology can be used to insulate just as well as it can to exert undue influence.

Furthermore, individuals and communities are not beholden to shareholders or business law, because they aren't businesses.

Predicting the next word as an objective is straightforward, not simple. Think about what it would mean to predict internet scale text accurately. To for instance, know the results of scientific papers before they are uttered.

There's a difference between an objective and what you need to do to fulfill it.
Converted to USD I think I spend $100/y average. Depends what filter needs replacing.
I feel like you've missed the point of this car.

N.B. that the Turbo -- the parent model -- doesn't offer a manual. I strongly suspect this car started with "what if a Turbo but manual, and geared towards the demographic that wants that option?"

A hybrid would, for those people, make this car LESS appealing. I'm not in the market for cars that cost as much as houses, but I would absolutely react that way.
The display needs to be pretty strong physically.
Even within a non repairable system, it could be improved so much.

Why can't we have dumb screens that I can plug my Amazon stick or whatever into.

My girlfriend's TV actually crashes and randomly resets. Presumably because they cram a load of functionality in, and don't test (not so) edge cases.

Just give me a dumb screen, if I want $fancy new streaming app I can just buy a single or whatever, if the dongle breaks, I replace just that.
Thanks for posting this! I can help answer any questions here.

It’s a great group! We call ourselves L2 Community. Named for Lagrange point 2, a stable orbit around Earth as we hurtle toward our North Stars.
So if a foreign agent is providing us information about their government, that relationship should be in the public record? That seems like a really good way to ensure you have no human intelligence sources at all.

We should reveal every detail about our military's weapons systems so our adversaries can more easily build countermeasures against them?

It seems exceedingly unrealistic that any government, even a democracy, could keep no secrets at all and survive.
I like the idea and probably will write you but if this post would appear on the homepage then your group becames too big to be able to communicate.

> Pressing a button and getting a technically impressive image will simply never invoke awe in the way that a human artist can

This is the original claim. It is intended to be aimed at generative ai, but clearly it is ironically applicable to photography.

I agree with you (as I mentioned about photography and art). The comment of OP either applies to both generative AI and photography or to neither IMO.

Creating images with ai is also not just clicking a button: choosing the prompt, choosing negative prompts, choosing loras and models, controlnet, retouching and iterating, and deciding what looks good at each step.
Isn’t it its own language to a degree? Which may or may not be a bad thing in itself, but I do think there is value in having it natively available.
Imo the world needs to find a way past the absurd notion of intellectual property.In a digital world where all collective knowledge is available at anyone's fingerprints ideas like copyright are anachronistic.
(author here): I am currently writing a book about programming with LLMs, I have absolutely put my money where my mouth is over the last year, and there is not doubt in my mind that we will see incredible tools in 2024.

Already the emergent tools and frameworks are impressive, and the fact that you can make them yours by adding a couple of prompting lines and really tailor them to your codebase is the killer factor.

My tooling ( https://github.com/go-go-golems/geppetto ) sucks ass UI wise, yet I get an incredible value out of it. It's hard to quantify as a 10X, because my code architecture has changed to accomodate the models.

In some ways, the trick to coding with LLMs is to... not have them produce code, but intermediate DSL representations. There's much more to it, thus the book.
Your point would be valid if rust had code examples that was actually simpler to write in rust than in other recent languages.

My understanding is that rust provides safety guarantees that no other language matches, but at the cost of pretty much everything else. In that regard, the "linked list" example is a pretty good (although maybe over-pathological) example of the hard parts of the language.
I guess it's not the only unfortunate name considering your link begins with the words "Not to be confused with GraphQL".
Certainly a compelling demonstration that Rust is much more popular than Ada.
Whoa. Dude. That finger plunging thing works.
Google's showing their hand. You're here nitpicking. If something CAN be done, it usually WILL be done, especially if the actor is a business and the reward is power, influence, or profit.

Will you be one of the ones 'giving Google a chance' once they play their hand next year?
Importing uranium fuel is so not the same thing as petroleum imports. You can generate uranium from ocean water. It’s expensive now and technically difficult to scale at the moment, but so what. Uranium fuel is a drop in the bucket of the cost of running a nuclear power plant so who cares where you source it from? Countries import all sorts of raw materials even if they’re available naturally because of pricing reasons (look at Canada with Alberta’s oil sands - Canadian’s kept complaining about it but ultimately it took off once oil got expensive enough).

I agree that geothermal would be interesting for Japan and I don’t know why they don’t deploy more of that.
Go meta-data[0] (or go fourth), k-package[1] things with own Brent Spiner web search snippets take/interpretation[2]. Also 'Galaxy Quest', MIB series, Starwars, Matrix, etc...

Ok, perhaps 'Rebel Moon'[3] as StarWars show/movie but evolved into something non-starwars would be better 'back to the future' example.

Note: 'Rebel Moon' yet to be released at time of posting.

Don't foreget about 'The Farside' and 'Calvin & Hobbes' for colorful life characterizations without need for ANSI C pointers[4]!!!

Just stay away from the "[ ]P" side of the "NP [ !]= P" problems for boundless challenge(s).

Suggest staying away from C garbage collection where have to cast everything to size(int). End result is 42 as the answer to everything.[5] To bad Lord of The Rings pre-dates the C language -- ENT could have encapsulated short/long/long long and voided all the bad C column habits.

Lewis Carrolll of 'Alice through the looking glass' fame was the heavy sci-fi field of view, not the math side of the thesis. Although, there are different plane ways to farm Lewis Carroll's (e)(i * i)(0) [9] without using any fiber. Just a bit more difficult with the ubiquity of PC's, gigabit fiber and sheave theory in today's world (with or without servings of Tooth's Sheaf Stout[10])

Stanle Kubrick did AI without a PC and avoided segfault bricks. So, why did it take a blue screen to impliment the big screen picture version?

Pasta GO!GO![6] and become a Dining Philosopher[7] without knowledge of Robert Frost[8].

Many tangent lines are required to make an svg forest, but may also earn one a spot on a standards committee.

Alternatively, can just impliment an 'awe' programming language and document accoringly -- re-read documentation to bring back the sense of 'awe' memories[11].
