Certainly. I never meant to say "my javascript strategy is X and its the best fit everywhere'. As always "it depends".

Though, the simple idea of server-side rendered HTML that is enhanced with JS goes a very long way.

> or you manually sync your state into and out of the DOM, and other things like the URL etc.

The thing is: with server-side-rendered HTML, the issue of "State" is solved! Hypermedia is a state-machine (REST, HATEOAS etc). What is left, is "state" needed for rendering some variations.

You don't need to store state of routers, or the state of JSON objects being pushed through immutable-redux-saga-whatevers. All you need is some state to determine "the accordeon is closed" or "the dropdown is open".

I've applied my strategy to a client-side search system once. And while it worked, it quickly showed that actual state-management was needed. I used the URL/history-api to store all state - so that links where sharable, but there's only so much you can put into paths, query strings and anchors. I used HTML5 template tags for templates and components and some simple JS to fetch JSON from a search-backend and pull that through the template to insert into the DOM.

What I'm saying is: yes! I agree. You'll need proper and nice design patters or architectures to build a UI of any scale. But I'm also saying: if you move state-management to REST (the backend, server-side-rendered) what you are left with is simple enough that it needs no framework most of the time.

I wonder if the people who use other people's blog posts to justify not self hosting email have actually tried doing it.

I've only been doing it for just over 9 years but I don't think I'm ready to quit yet. Really it's fine for the most part.
It's possible for competitors to build replacements for iMessage, too. In fact, in many parts of the world, those competing apps are more popular than iMessage. You can go to the app store right now and install these competing apps, usually for free.

Ask HN: Is it weird to have no personal relationships with colleagues?
I've been working as a software engineer for 10 years. Since 2021 it's been in fully-remote setup, in this time I've changed 2 positions (currently in the 2nd one). I was working on previous position for 2 years and never met any colleagues irl, nor build any personal relationships.

On my current position it's more or less the same. I communicate work-related things on daily basis, attend meetings, sometimes do a little bit of small-talk, but otherwise, I have no idea about personal lives of my colleagues, nor do they about mine.

The thing is, I don't regret it at all. I honestly don't care about their personal lives and what they do in their free time. I guess my need for interpersonal contact is saturated with the family and friends out of the work.Recently I was discussing this with my friend (who is also a software engineer) and he said, that it sounds quite weird for him (he never worked remotely except for the worst times during COVID pandemic).

So lately I've been thinking about this, maybe the reason is that I was contributing to OSS for quite some time, so it's not strange at all to work on software with strangers.

What's your perspective on this?
Making a competitive alternative to iMessage is a game of whack-a-mole that you will always lose, too. Apple would never give a third-party the same level of control they have to integrate with iOS.

So, Beeper's approach here at least makes sense to me. They aren't representing the "hacker spirit" like Torvalds or Stallman, but they are highlighting how arbitrary some software limitations can be. Their efforts here, wasted or not, will be cited when iMessage finds itself in court next time. And to Beeper, a company founded on the idea of unifying all messaging clients, that may be a worthwhile business investment.
What was also really revealing is Signal’s operational cost breakdown. Their biggest cost is activation texts, because providers have lost consumer SMS as a milk cow, so they’ve now started to charge insane rates for business texts.

With RCS or iMessage they cannot justify charging for these.
Using an llm like Mistral or GPT for solely for classification is like using a jackhammer to drive framing nails. A lot of business needs require feeding the llm plenty of docs to analyze and then extract something out of, summarize, draw relationships between, etc and almost none of that can be done in 6k words. I can't even use 8k (or so-called "32k") models to analyze a moderate length Wikipedia article.
If the TSA isn't even a jobs program anymore, what is it?
It’s annoying that it’s near impossible to get a grip on that before signing up.

We live somewhere which has open access GPON. Been with 3 different providers, the average ping to cloudflare, google etc with one was 7, then 5 and now 2.5ms.

All are pretty good, but 2.5ms is nuts for a residential line. They should be selling based on that.
> "Self-hosted" means "on your own hardware".

Does it? This is not the definition I've come accustomed to.
RCS lacks end to end encryption.
> the freedom for personal choice to do what you want vs the collective better situation we get

In this case I prefer to think of it as the freedom of personal choice versus a nasty blurry-zone of not-quite-voluntarily choice where the fallible human meat brain gets hacked.
Not allowing interop makes it harder for new competitors, because no one is going to use a messaging app that no one else uses.
These varied schedules won't work in every situation. Sometimes, people need to meet (even if virtually) or they need answers to questions and situations where people's schedules aren't kind of synced becomes problematic.
Most of humanity is exposed to equal or greater amounts of plastic and it doesn't appear to be uniformly causing anxiety related issue. It seems safe to call this a cultural thing. Young people see social media posts / celebrities talking about vulnerability stuff all the time, because it trends for whatever reason, causing them to reflect that in their own lives.
Benchmarks are, by definition, artificial. I'm speaking from real-world experience, not from "based off the architecture, here's my guess" and lack of context or poor recall within the "supported" context window is a real problem.

From the article: "Section 702 allows the government to conduct surveillance inside the United States by vacuuming up digital communications so long as the surveillance is directed at foreigners currently located outside the United States. It also prohibits intentionally targeting Americans. Nevertheless, the NSA routinely (“incidentally”) acquires innocent Americans' communications without a probable cause warrant. Once collected, the FBI can search through this massive database of information by “querying” the communications of specific individuals."

How can this law exist alongside the Bill of Rights 4th Amendment?

4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Yeah that's a fair point. There is a line to be drawn somewhere, and most people don't run their own email server. Administering one on a rented server somewhere can be considered self-hosting your email (ahem, did I say server? I meant Cloud! Apologies)

Maybe what bothered me about the section I quoted, is that they're explicitly using the free tier and allegedly didn't give the hosting company (Oracle) any billing information. So they cannot possibly be paying for their use. It's sorta not really theirs but, instead, a charity from Oracle (there's three words I never thought I'd put together)
Lenovo vs. Apple notebooks. My ThinkPad T430u comes apart simply and you can remove subassemblies quite easily. I replaced the touchpad and battery on my daughters MacBook Pro and it was a nightmare.
Those situations where the book picks a side are interesting. Do you have any insight on how those situations arise? To me they must find a big difference between what their internal model says, and what public perception says, and so they create a point spread in the middle to lure the better into the taking the less favorable side.

It seems odd that the Europhiles always fall back on such oblique support. Life expectancy, for example, is heavily impacted by things like demographics and obesity. The 'better life index' is literally editorial content. Its outcomes are driven by its creators' choices with regard to the wording/framing of their questions and the weights of the various components of their scores. The US, for example, has an average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita of >60% the OECD average.. but gets an "8.5" on income? Weird.
Can the defense have an "expert witness" refute the claims?

There's also the issue of jury selection. If a potential juror seems like they might question faulty statistics, for example, and the prosecutors know they will be presenting some statistics, that juror wont be selected.

True. But this is just cultural. Europeans complain more, it's what they do.

That's pretty extreme: I don't think random bloggers that host comment sections need to be laying out terms of service. Instead, they can handle things as they come up, and the community is small enough, and stakes are low enough, that this is fine.

HN is bigger than a blog, but it's still small enough that it can be fully moderated with 1-2 people, and I think similar tradeoffs apply here.

I disagree with that premise.

While "it must be usable with JS off" was true decades ago for accessability and compatibility reasons, this isn't the case anymore.

In my case, the reason for changing and not creating the DOM with JS is pure simplicity. I'll just as gladly make something that won't work, because it cannot be changed this way. Because everyone except for a very few "mormons of the internet" have JS. Modern JS even.
No, it's not. I don't get the 2FA code. It never worked before for me. Never worked with Beeper proper either.
So I'm imagining Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp on my iPhone? And the appeals to emotion really have got to stop.

People do not by iPhones because of iMessage. I'll totally accept that some, even a majority, buy them as a fashion item, in a similar way that Samsung S series phones are, but iMessage will not be a significant driver for many.
Turning CAPS into another key is the most useful thing I've ever done. Personally I like it as HYPER, but CTRL and SUPER work well on it too.

I've made it so that holding CAPS and pressing:

- i/j/k/l is same as arrow keys

- e/s/d/f is same as arrow keys

- SPACE is same as backspace (ALT+SPACE = DEL)

It does a whole lot more in Emacs, but that's a bit superfluous for this comment.

How much does this limit the code you can write?
Presumably WASM is made safe by limiting the ability of the code in some way. Otherwise the checks that occur as part of the C -> WASM -> C pipeline could be built into your standard C compiler.

So what do we lose as part of this round trip?

Just speed? Nothing else?
Hence the idea of Steelmanning.
Given that OpenAI was named that way because it was meant to be open, a nonprofit, I think that your retort is not helpful.
Actually both tapbacks (for a long time) and reply threads (since the latest iOS release) are both supported in MMS group conversations. The iPhone will send a tapback as an SMS message such as "Liked 'contents of message that was liked'" and other iPhones convert that back into a tapback. Google Messages also does this (and in fact did it before Apple did). iOS does not convert Google Messages style tapback messages into tapbacks though, so iPhone users only have half of the solution.

As for reply threads, when it's used it creates a lot of confusion for non iPhone users and it's not clear how Google Messages and other texting clients can fix it post-hoc. I'm not even sure how iOS reconstitutes it-- perhaps Apple sends some message metadata on the side via iMessage?
how exactly are you intending to batch different prompts together in the openai api? its not like they accept an array of parallel inputs
The sliding window does not lose the data but it does "decompose" it so that it can't be recalled verbatim. For analyzing code (feed it n classes and ask it to create a class using all of them to accomplish a task) that isn't good enough. It's also not good enough for some of the "corporate business" use cases we tried putting Mistral and other sliding window models to use on, where you need it to re-use verbatim or reference specific portions of one of n documents fed into it as input tokens.

Again, sufficient training can overcome these limitations. But that's only for cases where the corpus of input documents is static or at least contains significant reuse.

Yes, this is partially due, among other reasons, to the fact that inference induces a domain shift compared to training due to the use of teacher forcing.

It would be a mis-use of the act.
> I would naively expect even greater differences if your prompt simply states "You have seasonal depression. Please, ..."

That's going to trigger outright LARPing, and you should not trust information integrity at that point. Following it up with cocaine and antidepressants just negates it, so you might as well leave both conditions out and spare the tokens and confusion-- it's TMI.

I don't see the value in trying to correct this, at any rate. If people normally send and receive short emails in December, forcing it to write an amphetamine-fueled novella is not going to be natural or well-received.
Non-violent dealing (meaning possession for the purpose of sale instead of use) would still be non-violent possession.

It is a valid question what fraction of dealing (as opposed to possession for personal use) is actually non-violent. But even the violence is largely a product of the war on drugs, just as the corresponding violence surrounding illegal alcohol dealing during Prohibition was a product of the war on alcohol. Take away the prohibition and the violence went away.

I think most developers don't know what Structured Concurrency is it's quickly growing in popularity. It's now available in Kotlin, Java, Scala, GoLang and Python.

iMessage is also closed source, and iOS (as documented by Apple) backdoors the encryption in iMessage by including the cross-device “Messages in iCloud” endpoint iMessage sync keys in the non-e2ee iCloud Backup (as documented plainly in Apple’s own HT202303).

This means Apple can read the iCloud Backup contents, and Apple has the Messages in iCloud device endpoint keys, and Apple can decrypt the iMessages sent to or from the device in realtime.

iMessage is, in practical terms, not really e2ee.

It’s not fair to level these sorts of potential/speculative security concerns at Beeper Mini when iMessage’s first-party implementation has way worse problems that are actually documented.
Now, on what new things can be attempted with this? Someone mentioned that this was saturating a single SSD reads, which is interesting.

For some applications my SSD does almost only reads, and the writes are mostly to update content. My disk must be 99.9%+ idle.
Can then some nix-store/IPFS like system host all the applications I run? I'd be kind of cool to have every package virtually installed on every computer. Games fall on this category too, where people just keep them on SSDs for content to load quickly, and the writes to SSDs only happen when games are updated (or downloaded, which would be a no-op here).
This is just something that happens from time to time. For example, it happened in February of this year (prior to the release of treated water from Fukushima) in Itoigawa [1].

While it's understandable that someone's mind would jump to Fukushima as a possible cause, since it's been in the news recently, it is likely just due to natural phenomena such as the fish being chased ashore by a pod of dolphins.

Preliminary Evidence: we are closer to AGI than it appears
Real world testing and experience. If you only need the llm to retain the "gist" of the input tokens in order to return a "related" answer, the sliding window design is fine. But if you need actual technical analysis or tasks that involve verbatim referencing, quoting, recomposing, etc based off parts of the input documents, it doesn't work.

I tried using it for "business document" use cases but have ran into this with code as well; the latter might be a better explanation given where we're having this discussion. If you only need the llm to retain the general shape of your inputs so it can reuse them to influence the output, the sliding context is fine. But if you need it to actually reuse code verbatim from the input that you fed it (or to remember the api calls and their surrounding context verbatim to recall from a sample of just one that this api must be called before that api, when the prompt includes instructions to that effect) the "decomposition" of the input tokens with the sliding model is insufficient and the llm completely fails at the assigned task.
> You say out of business. I say, mediocrity all the way down from here.

Feels "Old man yells at cloud." There will be lots of garbage, for sure, but more people than ever before will have access to creation.

Becoming a director means getting access to a very limited playing field. Very few domestic productions get greenlit per year due to the intense financial, logistical, and personnel requirements. Very few people are able to make the opportunity cost sacrifice to learn the tools and people network.

For all the people that write fan fiction, web comics, or have a DeviantArt, Itch.io, or Newgrounds, this is going to give them access to their own personal Miyazaki/Scorsese tooling.

It's going to be awesome seeing passionate people finally have access.
It's not hard "just because Apple wants their walled garden benefits nobody but Apple". It's hard because SMS does not and cannot support those features.

If you want group picture sharing, just pick a chat protocol that actually supports that, rather than bitching at Apple over what SMS, a protocol they have zero control over, can and can't do.

Apple is not deliberately degrading the experience for SMS users, or refusing to allow sharing high-quality videos and photos with SMS users. That's like saying Apple is discriminating against your grandmother by not letting you video call her landline phone from 1985.
I don’t think Hamas has a clear strategy going forward. October 7 only happened because Israel was caught off-guard, that isn’t going to happen again. So what does Hamas do next? They will try to get as much leverage as they can out of the hostages; but they only have so many hostages, so that strategy can only take them so far. Then what do they do?

October 7 was calculated to derail the peace negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and in the short-to-medium term it succeeded. But, I expect that (privately) MbS is really angry at Hamas for doing that, and I think most other Arab governments likely feel similarly. That doesn’t bode well for Hamas in the long-run.
