> Things are getting better

Doesn't that depend on what you look at? E.g. if you look at gdp then things are getting better but if you look at growth rate then things are getting worse?
One challenge a bundler and transpiler introduce is they enable an unconstrained set of solutions.

If a particular application has 10 patterns that support all the applications UI interactions, then a simple, constrained solution like htmx that supports those 10 patterns is preferable (to me) than an unconstrained solution like Typescript + React where each developer will likely use their creativity and experience to design slightly or wildly bespoke solutions for each feature.

It's definitely not common in Austria, and I also haven't heard it in Germany (outside of a "clarity of communications" context on the phone). Bavarian (which is close to many Austrian German variants) would use "zwoa", which sounds quite different too.
This seems to be an extension of the biggest problem with EVs: The edge cases.

Even if the edge case is only 1% of your travel, do you want to buy a car that can't do it?

It can be anything. You're living in Minnesota and your dad in Chicago had a heart attack. An ICE can get you there in about ~7 hours. An EV... you're going to need 1 supercharging station at a minimum, probably 2. Or, you just decide you want a road trip from Minnesota to Texas. You pull over to the nearest supercharger in Arkansas to discover you're forced to hang out in a town where you really don't feel safe for an hour or two. That's great.

EVs make far more sense in Europe than America, with the current range they can offer, combined with general proximity of relatives. I'm not saying they don't have a future in America, I just won't be surprised if we are the slowest adopters.
telnet does allow encryption via flag '-x' on Linux, maybe others too.

But I never used '-x' it myself so I have no idea how it works.

> htmx is one of those things, like SQLite on the server, that you will incessantly see on HN, but rarely see used at large profitable companies.

This is true. However:

> Say you use python and Django. Why use htmx instead of Django templates?

This doesn't make sense and makes me think you might be confused about what htmx is. The purpose of htmx is precisely so you can just use things like django and render pages on the server but still make a website feel more like a modern website by replacing elements without having everything require a whole page reload and without having to write your own javascript code.

That said, I personally think there are reasons why approaches like what htmx does fell out of favor.
Was that ever replicated?
I never used or looked into htmx, but...

I feel like htmx fell into the same hype-cycle as every JS framework - initial interest was enthusiastic, but will likely fade as folks use it in the real world and any holes in the things it tries to solve are exposed.

On to the next, I guess...

Or go back to Ruby on Rails :)
The Godot IDE itself is a "game" as in it is entirely built using Godot APIs. Makes me wonder if it would actually be a good environment to build portable business apps, sort of like a modern Visual Basic.
AI is integrated with emacs. You can get both openAI/ChatGPT/Copilot integration with emacs, works fine. I agree that slack and other proprietary chat interface make it harder for everyone else, but that's a problem not just for emacs.

It's unlikely the CPA provides any additional liability protection as usually it all flows back to you as being responsible.

If it makes you feel better you can use a CPA once, and then mimic what they did in the years later. The best service they can do is recommend things that may minimize tax or reduce complexity. Note that minimizing tax may not be the best goal, however, especially with investments.

Or you can pay a CPA to do your taxes to feel like a "big boy".
I’ve had a lot of fun building an app with HTMX and Django. Makes things so much easier as I don’t need to use anything other than the standard templating system and still get an SPA-like front-end experience.
I get a kick out of people pushing the "Earn $5-$10k extra A WEEK with this one simple hustle!"

The hustle? Spam amazon affiliate links, lol. Of course the people pushing this never bother with pushing affiliate links, just trying to sell you the guide on how to do it.
To me cyberpunk is something entirely different. To me it just means going back to "the garage", inventing cool shit, not worrying about making +200K per year while being your bosses toy, and sticking it to The Man

These companies are companies. Meant to maximize profit.

We've also gotten to the point where we're pursuing Capitalism for Capitalism's sake. The idea of how layoffs affect people doesn't matter. That's for society to figure out.

Oh, and these companies which have high earnings (I avoided the use of "profit" because these companies often shuffle money around to manufacture or negate profitability), a also pay some of the lowest marginal taxes by entities in our society. Sucks, that's not their problem... they're hear to maximize shareholder profit.

Just an ouroboros of capitalistic sociopathy.
I’m not sure what is meant by this. There’s no “training” happening within the context window, at least not by the commonly-used definition of training, it’s all just part of the input. If you’re asking whether you can reverse-index search copywritten text and feed it into an AI model without permission, that’s been happening for years.

Good. It’s disappointing how bad Siri is. I don’t need it to be an LLM trained to know everything in the encyclopedia galactica… I just need Siri to understand basic sentence structure so i don’t have to reword something five times before giving up because i don’t know the magic word order.

Noticed a trend on Amazon Prime where movies are allowed to have inaccurate dates. So it'll say (2023) but the second it starts you can tell it's 90s, 00s or even 70s.

Really damages the perceived quality of the service when it can be gamed like that.
This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but these huge salaries of the past 5 years have really hurt technology. Instead of the best, hungriest minds working on the best problems in the most agile way, they're languishing in one of these gigantic megacorps working at a molassess pace on some improved way to sell you ads.
Turn up the temp, listen to music, stop at a random restaurant or historical site, go car camping on a whim, pick up someone from the airport, buy and get furniture on marketplace, buy a week of groceries for my family, tow my RV etc. It’s an endless list of things and I can’t imagine being hamstrung by walking and using public transport to do things. We have a large country and do way more things than the average European.

My favorite quip (not mine): somethings wrong when express is a "framework" and react is a "library".
Build a database of authors, titles, and citations. Any dissertation would reasonably include a survey of works.

Apply for Masters or PhD programs based on your interests.

Create a website for users to rank between two papers based on metadata like citation count, submitted journal, publication date, etc. Suggest journals they might like based on their history of swipes.

Link related article phrases (or just the abstract) to questions on Stack Exchange, or new works from arXiv.

Imagine how your decisionmaking could be influenced by knowing how authors and papers are connected, versus surface-level exposure to only a few.

No new hard drive needed, unless you are upgrading your computer.

Sadly, my backup citizenship is Canadian, so I get to pay for F-35s no matter what I do.

On that note, giving up your US citizenship does not in any way prevent you from being taxed by the American government. There is a hefty fee to apply for expatriation, and then there are exit taxes that may have to be paid.

Quick question, what does unlimited users mean? Are those users who use the apps I build or team members who do the building ?
The point is that much was obvious for years. This particular scandal has been widely and publically reported on for years and years. Why did it take making a TV show for action to happen? That part goes way beyond the post office itself.
And it's important to not make such claims lightly. But organised crowdsourcing of public discussion is happening in the open under the guise of "counter dangerous trends online" or "making sure Israel is presented fairly and accurately". Any propagandist can use similar justifications for what is bordering on censorship.

The sad fact is this will be used by anti-semites, but that's precisely why the State of Israel (Ministry of Strategic Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, intelligence or others) should NOT engage in it.

An ultrasonic humidifier turns whatever impure water you feed in into tiny aerosols, from which most of the water quickly evaporates, leaving even smaller aerosols behind. Those likely consist of soluble salts (likely not terribly harmful) and bacteria (possibly quite harmful).

I would avoid using them unless, perhaps, I ran the output through a filter. Or I would use an evaporative humidifier instead.
> But for a single individual, working to establish your base metabolic rate by counting every calorie and weighing yourself regularly, you can always find a way to be successful with the CICO model. If you establish a baseline that your metabolic rate is (say) 2000 calories a day, then eating 1600 calories a day will cause you to lose roughly a half-pound to a pound per week. It does not mean that every individual’s baseline metabolic rate is the same.

Anecdote: I did this over the past year and a half, weighing myself weekly and tracking all calories, including a period of weight loss and gain to get some good data points, and starting around 6-8 months in the linear regression stabilized: I found I burn on average 2200 calories per day even though I'm in my 30s and mostly sedentary. I've since found it to be pretty accurate.

I have the same reservation about 2FA on Gmail, but an account takeover would be too devastating to me not to have it. My middle-ground is having multiple printouts of the 8 "backup codes" that can be used if my phone breaks. I suppose connecting some yubikeys to it and having those scattered around my home/backpack/car would also be a good additional backup as well.
Yeah, I agree, and I don't personally use VSCode. But it sorta fills a similar niche, I guess.

But it's missing the powerful buffer abstraction that makes emacs so special. An emacs buffer isn't just a text editor, it's an interactive working environment, a coding scratchpad, etc. closer to how old Smalltalk or Lisp environments worked. The same buffer concept can be simultaneously a terminal, a code editor, and a REPL.

> Nobody says you need to install hundreds of packages.

If I need one, I have to get that package's dependencies. People don't choose to say "Damn, I'd really love to have 1800 dependencies!" But if you have 4-5, you automatically get dozens or hundreds out of your control.

Yes, could you build everything yourself by hand? Sure. That's a hard sell to many depts/projects. "This will take 3 weeks to build" vs "This will take 4 minutes to npm install". That 4 minutes is introducing a lot of potential risk and headache and time later, but it's providing immediate relief.

FWIW, "dependency management" is a problem in every platform, but I have nowhere near the same number of issues in the composer/php world (nor previously in the maven/java world) as I do in the npm/js world.

I lost my job when my company closed a few years ago in the middle of the pandemic and I am very appreciative of those who reached out. That limbo of uncertainty even if I could survive for years with what I had didn’t feel nice.
There really isn't anything of substance in this article. Just a low-quality complaint about AI and AI devices with such hot-takes as:

> You will notice that many of these tasks are just interacting with the lazy Silicon Valley dipshit treat ecosystem that already exists.

Honestly I'm hesitant about AI devices as well but dismissing it entirely is very Luddite-like. Will these smart AI devices succeed? Who knows... It's a risk but I can absolutely see areas where these devices will succeed - like bringing tech to the tech illiterate (or even just illiterate).

And Rabbit's price-point puts it in a very competitive position to be the iPhone of AI devices. Worth watching to see how these things continue to develop.
I think the solution is the ultimate decentralization. Putting the tools in each and every browser.

Ad blockers are one such tool.

AI powered answer extraction tools are the next one. That can filter out all the product placement noise for you while you are browsing.

Not sure why one would be "attached" to a company. It is a friggin business. You exchange your labor for money. That is all about it. Yes some projects can be exciting and mentally rewarding, especially in the initial stages but never forget that you are not the one running the show. Worry about yourself first. Owners of the company do just that and act accordingly. There are exceptions here and there but never rely on those. Hope for the best prepare for the worst.
This is the worst of it.

All of googles' top suggestions, highlights, and whatever other garbage they put in the top two scroll pages, is just junk. Garbage. It's right perhaps 5% of the time for me.

So not only do I have to hunt through their horrible search results, I have to hunt through junk they add on top of that.

The sad part is, their buffoonery in aliasing words is 90% of the problem. No, I searched for David, not Dave. No, I searched for Debian, not Ubuntu. On and on, unless I use verbatim, I get nothing even remotely useful.

It's like Google is completely disconnected from the real world. I bet they don't even dogfood. They probably have a Google Employee search that actually works, and doesn't alias or something.

I wonder what startling revelations Google would have, if they flew to the middle of Missouri, told people how to use verbatim, and then saw the wondrous expressions of "oh, it works now?" in grandmas.

They blew the AI game, screwing around, messing about, giving up a decade lead on OpenAI. They're destroying their search engine, their brand, with this junky, modern lack of effort. They're making gmail less and less friendly, losing cherished photos of loved ones in Google Drive, their entire Pii based income stream is coming to an end, frankly, Google is done, unless they do something dramatic.

They're on the path to becoming IBM. A washed up has been, ruminating on past glories.

They should be hiring right now. Massive amounts of talent is being set free, they should scoop them up, and reap 5 year research and dev rewards. They have the excess capital... now, something they will lose soon.

But no. Onward, we march into oblivious irrelevance, says they! Yay!
Yes, but there's a difference between exact results and reproducible results. I should get similar performance, otherwise there is an issue.

> To help understand the next step we can think of this process as follows: one replicator (genes) built vehicles (plants and animals) for its own propagation. One of these then discovered a new way of copying and diverted much of its resources to doing this instead, creating a new replicator (memes) which then led to new replicating machinery (big-brained humans).

> Computers handle vast quantities of information with extraordinarily high-fidelity copying and storage. Most variation and selection is still done by human beings, with their biologically evolved desires for stimulation, amusement, communication, sex and food. But this is changing. Already there are examples of computer programs recombining old texts to create new essays or poems, translating texts to create new versions, and selecting between vast quantities of text, images and data. Above all there are search engines. Each request to Google, AltaVista or Yahoo! elicits a new set of pages — a new combination of items selected by that search engine according to its own clever algorithms and depending on myriad previous searches and link structures.
