This is nice!

Would love to know whether found a need to define any custom logic for 'international' websites?

For example a lot of global companies will have

www.theirdomain.com/example-page

But then also have

www.theirdomain.com/us/example-page
www.theirdomain.com/au/example-page
www.theirdomain.com/nz/example-page etc...

If you're crawling from one regional or the 'global' entry point you might not always find all of the regional variations of pages. Sometimes the site might redirect you to your previous region if you try to change.

A common tool SEO teams use is screaming frog which offers similar features, crazy that a web service isn't more commonly used for this kind of thing.

Ask HN: What is the state of the art in AI photo enhancement?
I have a few face photos that I really like, but they’re a tiny bit blurry. The lighting is great but the issue is that they were taken a little far away, so some digital zoom is needed. They’re good enough, as you can see every important detail, but they’re not “sharp”.

I looked into several consumer apps, including paid ones. Some options that exist:

* Topaz AI

* Photoleap

* Facetune

But I couldn’t really compare nor do I know if better tech exists these days. I don’t mind running my own model.

What’s the state of the art?

> Probably because people want a good Toyota EV.

This logic makes no sense to me. Toyotas are beloved because they choose boring and reliable technology and refine it over time. They don't have the technology or manufacturing on hand for EVs - all they would be would another manufacturer throwing their name on another rebadged Chinese drivetrain.

I understand that from a consumer perspective, we really only care about the logo on the product and don't stop to think that a Carhart branded laptop might not actually be built to the standards of the Carhart brand.

But it's pretty rare to have a CEO in 2024 actually come out and say "we're not going to cheapen our brand by making products we would be bad at" and I don't think we appreciate that enough.

https://www.techspot.com/news/68958-how-hacked-smart-tv-bed-...

Smart TVs do have shells. They are "user accessible" depending on the user. Xbox does have a shell in "developer mode", so again, it does rely on the user. Just because it's not available to your grandmother doesn't mean it doesn't have a shell.

How? Things don't magically get better "eventually" just because we wish for them to. Things change if rich and powerful people push for them or if millions of little people revolt about it in order to impact the elected leaders, otherwise everything stays the same or gets worse.

Currently the rich and powerful are not on your side on this, and the little people care more about putting food on the table and making rent rather than who gets to access their cloud storage.

What do you mean with usually? Spacetime (i.e. the object of discussion in relativity) is by definition not positive definite. You said it yourself that space and time require different signs. But they are still interchangeable - without changing physics. On top of that, all that a Lorentz transformation (at least for boosts) does is rotate (hyperbolically) space and time into each other. Seeing space and time as two different things rather than interchangeable components of a more fundamental object is not in line with relativity.
> You want to critique the scientific method? Because it is flawed?

Yes, which is consistent with the scientific method, by definition at least.

> And not sure how to? Where to start?

I have a very long list of ideas, the vast majority of which I've borrowed from various domains, science being one of them (the very idea of the scientific method, abstractly, is very powerful, and can be applied in a variety of ways over and above what science currently does).

> Sure, scientific research has its issues.

> Models aren't always as exact as 'reality'.

Agree, but there is a true/false binary representation, and then there is the degree to which these things are true, and more! This tends to not be of interest though.

> But nobody is believing something that was proved false.

I am opposed to practicing logic using technically misinformative figures of speech like this.

> Something was proved false, but "I'm going to ignore the science and just believe what I want". Which is what a lot of Covid and Climate conspiracy theorist do.

Agreed[1], but here is something everyone does: believes that what seems true, is true. Our culture teaches us to think in binary, which is a dangerous form of logic when applied to non-binary domains, like reality.

[1] Though, how much worse are they, in fact, compared to those who suffer from normative cognition? And perhaps even more important: how many individuals are in each set? Which set causes more harm? Where should our critical attention be?
> It also assumes significant Java knowledge

For interop? Yes. For debugging a JVM in production? That, too. But the same can be said about ClojureScript and ${JAVASCRIPT_HOST}.

I picked up Clojure after a few years of using Common Lisp. Everything I know about Java and the JVM is thanks to using Clojure and deciding to make use of Java libraries when the ecosystem lacks a good library for something I need (e.g. WebAuthn).

My complaints about Clojure usually boil down to lack of performance (when writing idiomatic Clojure as opposed to "Clo-java") and lack of static typing (most Common Lisp compilers do a way better job here). Although I complain a lot about performance, it's ironic many Clojure users will point out to me that Clojure is still faster than Python, Ruby, etc., because I never use those languages and beating them in performance IMO is a very low bar to clear, unless you consider alternative implementations like Truffle Ruby (but then most of the Python/Ruby/etc. ecosystem is incompatible with your implementation).

With that said, Clojure is the only language I know with something like clojure.spec out of the box, and every time I use other languages, I miss being able to treat schemas as data and run transformations on them, especially when dealing with data that has a lot of optional fields (but they are optional only subject to specific conditions). Avoids a lot of repeated subtypes and keeps code concise. I also have an easier time testing Clojure code compared to other languages, in the sense that I rarely have to maintain intricate hierarchies of mock objects and state. Most of my Clojure code tends to be small, pure functions, and stateful things happen at the boundary between e.g. backend and database. So the most complex fixtures I usually have to write is setting up a database.

> there's a lot of baggage like emacs + cider...etc.

I think you were trying to use Clojure in its very early days, when people were still hacking atop of inferior-lisp-mode in order to provide basic Emacs support. While Emacs is still the majority of editor usage in Clojure, the next significant chunk is VS Code users with the Calva plugin. There is also an IntelliJ plugin and it offers (IMO) the best experience for Java interop.

random examples are necessary because we were walked to the edge of the cliff with no actual solution provided, so hyperbole felt like an appropriate response to encourage moving the train further down the tracks.

it's not a bad idea, but it's obviously ripe for just an additional layer of bureaucratic waste. clearly, there is a lack of trust that the police could handle evidence properly. so the natural follow up is who is trust worthy? how would it work? cops are called to the scene, but are then only there to "secure it" until some 3rd party comes along to collect evidence? what's the purpose of a detective at that point? we're not just shifting that role from a police agency to some 3rd party. are we going to re-establish the Pinkertons? if the detectives are no longer a role in the police, then more than likely those that would be attracted to that role would just join the 3rd party instead. so you haven't solved anything other than these people are no longer part of the police but are still involved.

Lines of code is a much better proxy than reported productivity.

It stops being a good proxy if you use it to reward or punish developers, compare different languages, or different types of software. But if you don't do those, it's quite good.

Velocity points is worse, because the current culture implies it will be used to reward or punish developers. But it's probably still better than reported productivity.

In fact, reported productivity is probably one of the worst metrics around. People can't even keep track of how long they spend programing, much less of how much they accomplish.

> Isn't Clojure the most mainstream Lisp at this point?

Calling Clojure a Lisp triggers some people.
Yes, everything in an explanatory position. That's precisely the point I was trying to get to.

I just happen to consider the explanation that a rock sitting on top of a mountain having "potential energy" to be relatively content free.

There's always a tension in physics (or has been for a couple of centuries or so) between force-based explanation and energy-based explanation.The force-based explanation (gravity) of why the rock might move downhill makes vastly more sense to me than the notion that it has "potential energy". However, the force-based explanation is not always clearly the right one either.

Also, I wasn't referring to "the idea of energy stored by being in motion". This is precisely the hangup that trips up so many. An object doesn't have energy because it is moving. And it doesn't move because it has energy. The motion and the energy are the same thing, just two different ways of talking about the same thing. The distinction matters because the way we've developed the semantics of "motion" and "energy" in physics means that, for example, "motion" is not something that is transferred between objects, but "energy" is.

As well as he very practical uses you've stated for combatting over-classification, there's one other big exciting reason:

Government/governance runs on public trust, which is maintained by governments doing things. If the government won't talk about & share what it does, if everything is secret, people will not believe in that government.

The government can generate belief in itself by talking about & sharing the cool stuff it does. I'm excited for that to happen more.
