Very cool, but this is a security anti-pattern.

Having the auth, db and file server in the same service.. an attacker doesn't even need lateral traversal or privilege escalation once inside..
Ease of deploying is a huge thing which gets lost. Over focusing on a single area of an application makes things really obvious the big picture was lost somewhere.
Last month a client asked me to build them a crud form only using old school C# MVC with Razor templates. And by golly it was much harder for me than just doing it in React+Next.

I had some nostalgic notion that MVC was going to be a smooth ride. That all this JS cruft was slowing me down. Then I needed a search bar, then validation, then I kept running into weird surprises with Razor templates. After a month I ruefully concluded I'd have gotten it done a heck of a lot faster just using my usual stack.

I now regret all those times I complained about how much bloat there is in the JS ecosystem. Yes, is it possible to make crud apps with Razor, sure, people do it everyday. But for me, with a project with increasingly complex display logic and validation, I definitely should have tried a little harder to talk them into using Next and TS.

As an aside, I was surprised that getting HMR with C# is kind of a pain. I never figured out how to get it while debugging. So every time I wanted to debug some new issue with the template not sending data right to the controller (which felt like every few seconds of work) I'd have to restart the server and wait 10+ seconds for it to restart and then renavigate to where I was, reenter my form fields, and then try again. After I was done and wanted HMR, I'd have to restart the server again. That extra hassle really started to grind on my patience.
Appreciate the British perspective. I don’t think that would work in the US; the people at the top are the rainmakers for their parties, and the party will take care of them somehow. Rather I think it’s more interesting in a knowledge economy to use the money printer to move talented people into public service who otherwise would’ve wasted their lives in the private sector positioning themselves as close as possible to the money printer (while also setting a high floor price for their services).
Yep I've been bitten by this. Very frustrating. I went back to a usb stick containing the video and subtitle file stuck in the back of the projector.

This question can be asked about anything. Like my new car! Or that I ate a steak instead of chicken.
I tried perplexity, and it is hard to see how it does a better job than Kagi (a paid search engine) for my use cases mostly involving technical enquiries.

Perplexity for the large use cases just feels like a wrapper around the web, and a not so good one at that.
Families have been de emphasized in this BNW. The future is a professional birthing and mothering cadre that brings 10-20 babies per womb over an avergae lifetime, to politically approved donors of ova and sperm. The children will then be raised in professional creches, indoctrinated in the political and moral scheme de jour. Toyota can raise generations of future workers. The new humans can also be diredted to arbitrary gender pools. DoD can request fearlessness in its birthing quotas.

Getting rid of the nuclear family also means being rid of rhe last vestiges of that pesky loyalty to something other than the state/corporation and that fuzzy feeling of inner security.
5G is a godsend for them because it requires many small cells.

On the other hand, that also enhances the accuracy of things like GPS. I feel like if you combine Galileo + 5G + WiFi sourcing you might get ridiculously accurate.

You forget to mention that such land also is not connected to the electrical grid, sewage or running water. And you can't force utilities to provide the connection because the land is not meant to be used for buildings so they don't have to provide such connections. And in many situations you can't officially live there, so can't provide the address of that land as your home address in a bank, to your employer etc. In fact, it's quite common that such a piece of land doesn't even have an address to begin with so no mail or Amazon delivery for you

Great twist, as someone who knows Sergio since elementary school he was always perfectly capable of being him but from my knowledge of other details I don't think so. Just an opinion.

BTW2: adding a little bit of serendipity to this Sunday I came up with this repository [1] which seems very dangerous and fishy. It says that "34 000 Satoshi Nakamoto wallets with pubkeys (50 BTC each other)" but the download points to a .zip with an .exe. In GitHub you can denounce people but do you suggest to investigate the .exe before right? Seems like a good, and probably simple, reversing play.

On the context of Satoshi's public keys, you cannot (like some other blockchains) get his/her/their public keys from the address.

My understanding of ePrivacy (mostly GDPR) is that this kind of feature does not require consent.
It's only features that would allow you for tracking of the user that require consent.
Storing some setting in a local storage, never sending it to the server is fine.

Things get a bit muddy when sending to server but even then you may not need a consent if it is a feature that is required for correct working of the website or better experience without tracking and profiling.

Just yesterday I was looking at a list of American films released in 2023 and there were more than three hundred [1]. Considering that a movie takes a whole team of people to make but a comic only one or two, they're much easier to distribute especially digitally, and comics are popular also in Asia and Europe, I would say there's at least several thousands of them published every year (without even counting that many have monthly issues).

Edit: Another interesting data point, there were more than 14000 games released just on Steam last year [2]. So I think it's not crazy to assume there's also several thousands of comics.

A great mental framework that holds up to my experience as well.
The phones are normal phones but it's very likely they will be transmitting at their maximum power. Which is the power they're already being tested for.

However because it's only for texting for now, you won't be holding it too close to your head. And it will transmit for only a fraction of a second. Because radio energy drops really fast with distance it won't be a problem and will in fact be better than when you're having a phone call in bad coverage.
> How exactly do you blackmail the one of richest men in the world for drug usage?

Exactly like this:

> "Illegal drug use would likely be a violation of federal policies that could jeopardize SpaceX’s billions of dollars in government contracts. Musk is intrinsic to the value of his companies, potentially putting at risk around $1 trillion in assets held by investors, tens of thousands of jobs and big parts of the U.S. space program... In addition to violating federal contracts, any kind of illegal drug use would break company policies at both SpaceX and Tesla, and would raise questions about Musk’s executive role at the publicly traded Tesla, where the board has a duty to shareholders to oversee management.”

That's basically saying- "you have nice companies here... it would be a pity if they were taken from you or went bankrupt".

Elon Musk's drug behaviour (whatever it is) will not change. But people can stop talking about it, if people are happy with what Elon does for them.
Most people who cannot hold down a job are that way for basically psychological reasons, they can't bring themselves to consistently show up and quit any job you give them within days/weeks. What would help them the most is creating a new class of labor which works on a day-to-day basis with no paperwork/bureaucracy setup to hire them and fire them. I'm talking about legalized and legitimized unorganized untaxed day-labor, so people who can't hold down a regular job can at least easily earn irregular money whenever they find themselves able. If it requires applying for one day then showing up the next, that disqualifies most chronically unemployed people.

Unfortunately well-meaning people will insist on creating bureaucratic roadblocks in this program ostensibly for the benifit of the workers, to make sure the workers are getting benefits, safety training, etc, that have the end result of making it a job you have to apply for in advance and show up for later. And once this is done, it will be no different from the normal sort of job that some people can't hold onto because they can't bring themselves to show up reliably.

I don't think that workflow was even a realistic option when Figma development was initiated, or even when it first launched.
Fair point that my point was overly reductive. But given you understand multiple tools, you should reach for the simplest tool possible to solve the problem. And in some cases you should still reach for the simplest tool possible even if you don't understand it yet. If you've only ever used Kubernetes but someone asks you to host a static HTML file at an address, you should learn how to use a simpler solution for that.

> Maybe 2024 will be the year where client-side Rust/WASM frontend frameworks start to get traction and if that’s the case, we’d better get used to having a build step!

That's nonsense, there isn't any progress here. You're just rebuilding things that could easily be built 20 years ago, but with 10X the complexity. And then to solve slow load times your solution is to add even more complexity..

Customer here.

A) This raise a huge issues with IP and HIPAA. Unless you add specific limitations of model per customer with 0 shared information

B) I do not know what kind of product discovery process you did to think that "industry benchmarks" are what your customer wants, but its not. As an analytics startup owner I can tell you these are the kind of low effort "Features" people tell themselves their customer wants and its never holds when you actually perform discovery.

C) This is maybe something you want for your next VC round? do you need to shove proprietary LLM model to expand the valuation? I hope you do not crash and burn doing this.

Sure as hell going to checkout Datadog and the alternatives as we speak. We are currently on a monthly plan, you tell me I have until Jan 26 to drop the service?
That's true and it's why C++ development has become a nightmare over the past decades. I don't see why people need to cram every idea into a single language, especially one that was designed to be so close to hardware. If I want the comfort of high level stuff, I use a high level language.
>The function has to be continuouss.

That's not a problem. You can show that neural network induced functions are dense in a bunch of function spaces, just like continuous functions. Regularity is not a critical concern anyways.

>functions vs algorithms

Repeatedly applying arbitrary functions to a memory (like in a transformer) yields you arbitrary dynamical systems, so we can do algorithms too.

> an approximator being possible and us knowing how to construct it are very different things,

This is of course the critical point, but not so relevant when asking whether something is theoretically possible. The way I see it this was the big question for deep learning and over the last decade the evidence has just continually grown that SGD is VERY good at finding weights that do in fact generalize quite well and that don't just approximate a function from step-functions the way you imagine an approximation theorem to construct it, but instead efficiently find features in the intermediate layers and use them for multiple purposes, etc. My intuition is that the gradient in high dimension doesn't just decrease the loss a bit in the way we imagine it for a low dimensional plot, but in those high dimensions really finds directions that are immensely efficient at decreasing loss. This is how transformers can become so extremely good at memorization.

Yeah, and I have some sympathies with what systemd is trying to do here, but the implementation is often backwards and/or half-arsed.
Weizenbaum even wrote an entire book, Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment To Calculation, on how AI is a crank term for computer science. The basic premise is that humans are not machine so stop using language that treats them as such. Especially that computers can decide what comes next, but only a human can choose what to do.

The book also has one of the best and most succinct descriptions of Turing machines and the theoretical underpinning of computer science that I have ever read. Even if you’re an AI maximalist you should read the third chapter of the book.

I think there's a similar dynamic as behind "nobody got fired for choosing Oracle" - it's safer to choose a more complex, but also more flexible technology.

If you're a tech lead, your worst nightmare is when you have to say - "this is very difficult to do with the current stack. When we were choosing this stack, we assumed you'll never want these things". You're not going to extract a binding promise from product/business that they will never want a certain class of things - you can only guess, and then hope, that the product will remain a dumb CRUD.

It can definitely seem this way if you only consider the front end. But a challenge that many SPA apps run into is that for the vast majority of SPA apps you end up in a situation where the front end and back end need to share business logic, and this can be a very complex thing to model and maintain, with either duplicated effort (and the potential of drift) or complicated solutions to keep them in sync, particularly if your front end and back end technologies aren't identical.

Most MPA apps treat the browser and front end as dumb clients basically - strictly responsible for putting stuff on a screen

That’s not why. In my experience, applications accumulate interactivity over time. At some point, they hit a threshold where you (as a developer— not an end user) wish you had gone with an interactive development model.

Also, for me, the statically typed, component-based approach to UI development that I get with Preact is my favorite way to build UIs. I’ve used Rails, PHP, ASP (the og), ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, along with old-school native windows development in VB6, C# Winforms, whatever garbage Microsoft came up with after Winforms (I forget what it was called), and probably other stacks I’m forgetting. VB6 and C# Winforms were the peak of my productivity. But for the web, the UI model of Preact is my favorite.
