> resulting in a whole lot of negative press

How exactly would somebody receive negative press for not working for free? Microsoft doesn't get bad press for charging money for Office. Programmers don't get bad press from asking their employer for a salary.

Even assuming there would be some "bad press" – so what? Open source users give nothing back to the developers anyways, so there's nothing they could take away.

> I have been writing low latency code for a decade and never seen cascading deletes be a problem.

I don't know what your domain is, but the domains I'm familiar with (especially hard real-time) deal with the underlying constraints by way of restricting how you write programs. A side effect of these restrictions is that you generally avoid use constructs that give rise to cascading deletes. But ultimately, having to deal with these restrictions is suboptimal.

I remember a talk by Gil Tene (CTO and co-founder of Azul Systems) about how the problem with writing real-time Java was that it historically required you to write non-idiomatic Java code, which came at a serious cost to reuse and where he argued that one of the benefits of Azul's GC was that you could write (mostly) idiomatic Java and still have GC noise be less than OS noise.

There is of course the actual problem that the stricter your latency requirements are, the fewer GCs actually meet them. Plenty of modern off the shelf GCs meet typical soft real time requirements, but the harder your real time requirements get, the fewer implementations actually meet them (and are increasingly more expensive).

I'll also add that depending on how strict your latency requirements are, off the shelf allocators may not meet them, either, even for a single malloc() (though there are allocators that offer hard upper bounds for allocation costs, such as TLSF).
There are quite a few ways in which SVGs can contain evil things. iframes, script tags, the use tag (can load external sources), links with javascript, links with base 64 encoded javascript, bloody DOM event handlers (on-click etc).

At my previous job, user uploadable SVGs were the largest source of vulnerabilities in our product.

My unwanted advice: don't let users upload SVGs unless you know what you're doing. We clearly didn't.

Similar name, seemingly a lot less talent (intentionally so, IIUC), but awe-inspiring grit: _How To Make Everything_ on YouTube [0] has really hit the nail on the head with having an average man trying to recreate items from scratch.

He’s not that good with his hands, sweats easily, lack coordination and has the natural instinct for measures, roundedness, and flat surfaces of a goat. That makes so many of his attempts that much more credible. He insists (with some exception) on exclusively using tools that he made himself—something he called “The Great Reset”. This means a raggedly thread and an Flintstone-like pen for dimensions. Expectedly, that doesn’t help much.

It’s genuinely so much more valuable for that lack of professional training — although him and his growing team are learning, and getting genuinely good as things go.

He often has the help of a professional using modern tools and the difference with his own attempts is generally very intructive, more than the principle themselves. Can you make a nail from scratch? A professional blacksmith can make somethign really nice; an amateur can try… it will keep two planks together, but not inspire confidence.

Great entertainement value and very worthy reality check: could you make clay pot? You saw an attractive instructor seemlessly whip out something wonderful on TikTok once? Good for you. HTME will give you a more realistic expectation of what you can do on your first five tries: one of them holds most of the water.

Say what you want: after years of grit, they have raggedy but reasonnably useful workshop tools make from absolute scratch.

In the shorter term, I see the helicopter as making the rover more capable, by finding routes and destinations of interest.

Isn't that just a natural consequence of the fact that people will only post about things they don't know about in order to explore things that they haven't fully considered?

Naturally, if you are certain you've got it figured out there wouldn't be any value in posting anything. What could anyone add? But when you don't know, you can explore different ideas and see where they go. As such, the ideas shared will always be incomplete.

Sorry to tell you this, but you picked a terrible time to start contracting. I'd start on Upwork and see if you can get any bites on there.

Also, I personally wouldn't use the US LLC if you don't live in the US--that would be a huge red flag for me as a potential client. Contracting is all about trust, and you want your business to appear as solid as possible.

Based on their marketing, Glaze is “defensive” because it prevents training a model to have a coherent idea of what your style is, preventing people from generating art “in the style of andai”. Nightshade doesn’t protect you, but it behaves as “wrong” training data and makes it harder to train models in general. (I don’t claim that any of this works as advertised though.)

This. It’s no different than the impact word processors had on typists. The idea that low-level sign painting is “art” is silly.

And to the extent AI encroaches on “real”, it just enables artists to operate at a higher level, much like word processors allow authors to focus on craft rather than typing.

I wish people would stop referring to Datomic as datalog. Datomic is many things, but only the query format (Horn clauses with unification of variables, similar to prolog) has anything to do with datalog.

Real datalog is far more interesting since it implicitly encodes recursion allowing you to chain rules. Rule A derives new facts, which rule B uses to derive new facts, which rules A and C use to derive new facts, and so on. Datomic has a notion of rules which are mostly syntax sugar and do not support this sort of recursive reasoning.

Why is that a big deal? When rules are run automatically, you can build live, reactive systems, not just a database that sits around waiting for you to query it. Hellerstein's work at UC Berkeley (https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/sigrec10-declimperative.pdf) explores this in some detail.
It depends on the intent. Markdown is meant to be readable on its own. If you don't plan on reading Markdown files in some sort of plain text editor, then the benefit of Markdown is greatly diminished.

Also, no one has implemented a really good experience for writing HTML, not for webpages, but simple documents. It could be really easy to write HTML mostly by hand if an editor could dynamically convert Markdown-like syntax into HTML tags on the fly. That way, the resulting document is definitely HTML, and not up to the interpretation of some flavor of Markdown.

Such an editor can also do things to try and soft-preview what emphasis the HTML represents. Here's an example of an experiment I worked on in this direction a long time ago: https://codepen.io/Ravenstine/pen/gyMVNx

This is a typical GLP-1 journalist self-report, but it is still amusing to see it hit so many of the usual points: the realization that 'CICO' was always really false in any substantive sense, that people really do differ in exercise & weight-related properties and are not stamped out from the same blank-slate mold, that the mind really is just what the brain does and so of course things like hunger can be modified by an appropriate chemical (little more mysterious than pushing the 'off' button turning your computer off), the discovery that dieting/exercise really does not work well, the insistence on exaggerating the drawbacks like the 'plateau' or claiming 'rapid weight gain', the unwelcome realization that being fat was bad for you and people did notice your appearance, the strung und drang about possibly needing a chemical treatment for a long time (as opposed to, the one-and-done effect of dieting & exercise...?), etc.

I know on HN we are justifiably distracted by AI, but it's worth remembering that out among normal Americans, for their quality of life and things they can touch and see, GLP-1 drugs are one of the most incredible & disruptive scientific breakthroughs in a long time. (And I include COVID vaccines in that comparison.)

I think there's a tendency to romanticize this kind of thing, a la an early Tom Waits song. I've lived in Portland for a little under 5 years. I feel like it has been moving in the "ugly" direction the author describes for a while, and it started before I moved here. People that have been here much longer describe how it used to be much more "gritty" and dangerous. They say it with sort of a twinkle in their eye, almost as if they miss it. Part of me would have loved to see how it was, but the other part of me knows what's its like to be in the wrong part of town. At least you have the wherewithal to see why a move to LED lights was probably a smart move. Just because it's new and different doesn't make it bad.

Ask HN: Has Reddit started inflating their numbers?
I am a pretty addicted reddit browser and I frequently visit r/popular and other "big" subreddits. Lately I have started noticing that couple of hours old posts have now thousands of upvotes and comments, each comment having thousands of upvotes too. Before that you could see such numbers only on very big topics like major global news or tragedies. Are there any tools to track these metrics via 3rd party to see if they started artificially inflating theirs user numbers before their IPO?

One of the cessationists criticisms of prohecy was that it leads to man/self aggrandizing and away from written truthes. It's a positioned that is a poisoned well that naturally creates scammy behavior and fosters a spiritual hierarchy and gnostic heresies.

That's why many conservative evangelicals did mock and accuse charismatic tv preachers of being grifters, unrepresentive and false teachers. Though that public tension and conflict seems to be abandoned for the sake of political unity nowadays.

I've known calvinistic missionaries (all dead now) from these groups, they speak of being burdened, and "feeling" called, but they're clear that a personal burden is not a revelation or prophecy, it's just a personal conviction from the text combined with circumstances and an affinity of where to go, not the voice of god. No different than a person feeling convicted to become vegetarian because of something they read. They cited some passages from paul about going where "he choose" (I've no interest in looking that passage up at this point) and the use of casting of lots to show it's internally driven conviction and pragmatism and not a revelatory special calling. Being explicit that anyone hearing the voice of God probably needed medical help, personal prophecy wasn't a source of inspiration and truth but were warned against.
