I've been using Arc and I've become a fan of folders + vertical tabs also. But I also want bookmarks with tags. I don't want to keep 'pinouts for xyz motherboard' open somewhere all the time. I want to tag it with 'dell', 'motherboard', and 'pinout' and then search when I need it instead of having to remember what 'Space' I put it in. I prefer bookmarks to web search when possible because often enough I spend stupid amounts of time searching for a little tidbit and may want to come back to it later.

Rather than cleaning out bookmarks, I would keep a few main bookmarks and folders on the toolbar, and file away everything else under one few big folders with tags.

I use Firefox for tagging and it seems to be a fantastic way to keep track of thousands of sites with small cognitive load. Am I missing some workflow that's 'better'?
Basically yes. I used to write regularly for a large finance site. You've read articles from this site, they show up on HN regularly and its one of the top 100 sites in the world and bounces around in place among the top 3 finance sites.

Anyway, point is when I wrote for them, we had a list of places we could link to and places we couldn't. A lot of them where other sister sites the parent company owned. If we needed a source we first had to try to find it there. If it wasn't available there then there were another list of sites we were allowed to link to, which was basically top 100 sites.

Then there were sites we were NEVER allowed to link to. I remember one of those sites was Reddit. But there were many others. Then anything that fell in the middle was something we linked to if it was critical for the article, otherwise we wouldn't link at all.

So yes, its basically an SEO circle jerk at the top. Which is why you see the same 100 sites in all search results.

Civil is a much lower bar than criminal when it comes to court cases.

Even if your builder took notes, he would still have errors and omissions. In my experience with builders (and many other areas), it is my job to make sure they do their job. Notes or no notes. Same with waiters.
I'm an entrepreneur (luckily with one successful tech startup) and along the way I've had many failures. I've also helped many other startups on their journeys to becoming very successful and the truth is your journey is something you will need to decide.

But, from my experience I've now realised you shouldn't work on your idea with your own money. It's great if you have enough savings to do try something you love but the point of a startup is to make money (unless it's a non-profit). In order to make money you will need to convince someone else that it's a good idea and pay for it.

So, validate your idea before you go full-time and get some early customers. There are many ways to do a "safe" startup. There's always a risk but you can make sure you don't end up worse after a failed venture.

I'm new to HN but I suspect there are many who'd be willing to help you and complement your skills to make your idea successful (I'm one of them).
I knew it was a joke when I saw the first one:

But didn’t explain whether it was emptied in place or if a new list object was assigned to items.

indeed, almost no novel criminality or fraud is occuring.

robocalls should just be illegal. unidentified propaganda should be banned. ads with fraudulent claims should be prosecuted.

you can argue about "to what degree" but AI isn't doing anything but exposing the true lack of enforcing of existing laws because of capitalism grease.
I feel like you are being deliberately obtuse here. They said "Give it a few years" and linked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development_stages. How is this not strongly implying that in a "few years" LLMs will be at a later "level of development" as described in the article they linked.
You can control when those happen, too.
And they've done so much hiring since the PASemi acquisition that probably every much CPU designed in the last 20 years is well represented on the Apple team.
Thanks, but I am really curious about the jobs AI itself has replaced today.

Note the use of "will", "could" and "plans" in those articles: none of this has materialized today, as was implied in the GP post.

> What's the difference?

The difference is in chasing the market potential vs actually achieving that potential today: it seems to me generative AI is not replacing any jobs today, but AI experts are being hired in lieu of traditional software experts en masse, hoping for generative AI advances to continue to the point where those efficiencies materialize (which is never a given, but I do see the business reasons to bet on it).

One statement is that generative AI is good enough to replace workers today (which I haven't seen proof of yet), and another is that it seems this might happen in the (near) future so let's invest in developing AI more (also implying that where it is today is not sufficient).
This is super impressive. The rate of iteration and innovation in this space means that just as I'm feeling jaded/bored/oversaturated - some new project makes my jaw drop again.
This was such a strange and janky game when it came out, the hitboxes for clicking were so unreliable even when you knew what you wanted to do.

It was a shame, because the game was a fascinating idea and well written.
Have you gotten therapy for that trauma?
Yeah exactly, in Erlang the 'do' portion would just go in the same code block as the conditionals.
A tab is literally a button with slightly different pixel shading. Its exactly the same thing as its always been.
Makes sense. You mentioned index so I thought maybe you were were querying a table.

Would be nice if postgresql could tell you when the flags don’t match. I think anytime you deal with timestamps you can have problems since the expression may depend on the session’s time zone.
There is the long standing joke around the Geeks and Jocks. The don't usually have sex with each other. Genetically they have even diverged with genetic attributes that you typically find in one and not the other. They are even more successful at having grandchildren if they mate their "own type" due to to certain genetic combinations that both parents will give to the kids. Are they two species?
Unfortunately the cat is it out of the bag, we can't simply legislate this away.
It doesn't need to be legal to do it. People commit suicide all the time. The government doesn't need to be involved in each and every section of our lives, from cradle to grave.
If it works for you that's great. The comparison could be made that we can listen to music from [as many albums as we want] for $0 on Bandcamp, then buy the tracks we really like.

There's things missing from both platforms, of course.

It doesn't. You have to use the touch screen. Yeah, really.
In what way are unwarranted bans not defamation?

Anyone who used to see your account and watched it suddenly go away is under the impression that you "did something bad which got you banned". That is a public statement about your character.

If you did NOT do something bad, that should be actionable.

> We've had subsidies for EVs in the US for over a decade now.

For EVs generally regardless of where the carmaker is headquartered.

> US governments have bailed out automakers in the past.

And were justly criticized for it even domestically.

> US government has done as much as it can to protect ICE cars, ICE workers, ICE unions, oil companies (US is #1 oil producing country).

Whataboutism. Two wrongs don't make a right.

> I think what you're trying to say is that Chin has done a better job subsidizing its EV industry than the US has and China has more incentives to move towards an EV future.

EV incentives work similar to what the US has. You buy an EV and you get a tax credit, regardless of whether it's from GM or Hyundai. Cheating is when the subsidies are only available to domestic companies.
What do you think the reason is? I had hypothesized that it was because I keep tons of tabs open, and over time more of them are made active (they are in a quasi-hibernated state when I first reopen Brave). But if that is true, then quitting and restarting Brave would have the same effect — which it doesn't seem to.

all of the stuff I'm the Solar system that we know about probably was here from the beginning, forming out of the same cloud of dust that produced the sun. A black hole would have to wander in from elsewhere and somehow get captured rather than zipping by on a hyperbolic orbit.

This actually looks like a concurrency bug in their request handling code that may have stored the user id and camera id in shared variables, under load the wrong camera id is seen by a user. At least based on the description of what they say happened.
These comments are filled with confidently held, poorly justified assertions. Let's (again) challenge them:

1. "LLMs don't really reason. They've tricked everyone." -- This is the No True Scotsman fallacy for AI. It makes grand explanatory claims without falsifiable predictions. In other words: pseudoscience.

2. "LLMs are just fancy autocomplete, just next word prediction." -- This conflates the simplicity of a system's mechanism with its behavior. It's like dismissing a world full of rich phenomena because it's "just" F = MA. Or dismissing your mind because it's "just" propagating electrical firings.

3. "LLMs are statistical parrots, just combining their training data." -- Demonstrably not. LLMs always extrapolate and never interpolate. (LeCun et al, 2021) They also learn new abilities in zero/few-shot prompting. They're also many orders of magnitude short of the parameter count needed to store their training. LLMs can solve novel problems (from a combinatoric disparate handful of skills) way outside of their training data.

4. "People are just anthropomorphizing computer programs." -- No, critics are anthropomorphizing intelligence. We don't even have a consensus definition, let alone understanding, of intelligence/consciousness/qualia/agency/etc. Pretending that we can dismiss LLM understanding at our level of ignorance is the pinnacle of human hubris. Ignorance is okay. Pretending we aren't isn't.

5. "Look how this LLM failed <some problem>. It can't understand." -- The <problem> is usually something that many humans fail at too. Yes, an intelligent foreign mind will fail at things, in both familiar and foreign ways. Needing an agent to behave identically to a human for intelligence is pure anthropocentrism.

If present AI systems are intelligence imposters, then show, don't tell. Otherwise, you're just providing meaningless metaphysical hairsplitting.
At the moment my line of thinking is “what’s easier to engineer around?”

I’m not saying we should eat “land meat”. I’m saying specifically chicken. I believe they are the most cost effective of the meats.

Of the farmed fish, did you single out trout and catfish because they are green, or has the industry in general improved?

Yes, of course. Blame a third party library which was probably created by an open source maintainer instead of testing your own systems.

Thanks for HTMX, I think it's showing the world what the web browser could be.

I'm going to be doing a lot of web pages in HTMX in the next couple of years, and it will be much easier to develop/debug than javascript.

OP's note about Johannesburg's latency is something I've noticed over the past few weeks in particular. Our servers are hosted in South Africa, yet accessing most of our sites and services from within South Africa causes traffic to be re-routed via other nodes, mostly London (LHR). This is easy to verify by appending cdn-cgi/trace onto a Cloudflare-proxied domain.

Something is definitely up with Cloudflare's Johannesburg data centre. On particularly bad days, TTFB routinely reaches 1-3 seconds. Bypassing Cloudflare immediately drops this to sub 100ms.

In the past, I would have emailed support@cloudflare.com, but it seems that this channel is no longer available for free tier users. What is the recommended approach these days for reporting issues such as this?
To me that does not sound like a "reality", but a hypothesis that many are willing to bet on today.

It may turn out to be true, but I don't see any proof of that yet, not even in the social sciences-style of proof (which is admittedly a lower bar to clear than mathematical-style proofs, but that would do for now).
Yep, it's sad to see that capitalism can't let perfected things stay perfect, and instead has to squeeze more and more out. this inevitably leads to decline and increased prices. Enshittification is just the modern shape of this, as the capitalist cycle of prototype -> first generation product -> perfected product -> enshitified product is just much quicker when the only product is software. See facebook, spotify, netflix, etc.
It's an epiphenomenon on the scale of societies, not just people, that arises to make sense of what people do with hormones. There's a lot more to it than just the hormones.
Why do we need to listen to justifications of crazy warmongering dictators?

According to Hitler (as well as Putin, who really justified Hitler in that same interview) Poland made him start the war by refusing to give up Danzig.

Any dictator in history had a cover story before starting a war. And by spreading such a story you become a part of the aggressor's propaganda machine.
Hi Carson! I've been using htmx sprinkled with hyperscript and I find using your tools very enjoyable (though I found myself fighting a bit with hyperscript at the beginning but past that and once you get the mindset and the hs way, things are easier).

Thanks for these tools! I wanted to also take the opportunity to ask you something you either mentioned, commented or heard in a podcast.

You said that htmx might not be the tool to solve all problems (or certain kind of apps). Just asking because I think is also great to hear when not to use something to solve a problem. So, in your opinion what kind of webapps do you consider that maybe htmx is not a good fit? And in that case what alternate tools/approaches do you suggest? Once again thanks a lot for htmx & hyperscript!

Awesome. I had gpt make me a few workout plans. It took a bit to get the prompts right, but it seems to be a great use case with some structure to the prompts.

Next step is to offer daily / weekly check ins via the ai "agent". There are shops out there charging $500 a month with humans doing this (over 80-100 clients) that really could be replaced or 10xed by AI...
There's a difference between token throughput and latency. Token throughput is the token throughput of the whole GPU/system and latency is the token throughput for an individual user. Groq offers extremely low latency (aka extremely high token throughput per user) but we still don't have numbers on the token throughput of their entire system. Nvidia's metrics here on the other hand, show us the token throughput of the whole GPU/system. So, in reality, while you might be able to get 1.5k t/s on an H100, the latency (token throughput per user) will be something much lower like 20 t/s.

The really important metric to look for is cost per token because even though Groq is able to run at low latency, that doesn't mean it's able to do it cheaply. Determining the cost per token can be done many ways but a useful way for us is approximately the cost of the system divided by the total token throughput of the system per second. We don't have the total token throughput per second of Groq's system so we can't really say how efficient it is. It could very well be that Groq is subsidizing the cost of their system to lower prices and gain PR and will increase their prices later on.

I found it because one of my friends used to post links to insightful posts here on our group chat. Eventually my curiosity led me to explore the site more and I stuck around.

At first I thought it was a site entirely devoted to computer stuff but it was only later that I realized what this site was really about.
Mint, Debian, and NixOS are my main ones and I don’t think it will change anytime soon.
Thanks, but I prefer immutable data vs variables as opposed to introducing a new term. I think it's a bit simpler.
>My second thought was the majority of this type of fraud is probably from foreign impersonation, not Americans. And it’s not like they’d be sending in predator drones for surgical strikes against scam call centers, as satisfying as that might be.

I think it means that american-owned social media platforms would be required to comply with these rules though, right? that seems like a fairly big deal.
How did the meeting with Madonna go?
Seems to be the only free note taking app that is offline-first with backups in mind without vendor lock-in and forced proprietary format.

Supports Android stylus/Apple Pencil drawing as bonus.

Joplin comes second but is difficult to setup, lacks versioning, trash bin, auto-backup, and slow react native mobile app that doesn't sync in the background.

Obsidian Sync is close but expensive and the app doesn't offer local auto-backup/versioning.
R is a language for statistics which has built-in support for plots and many libraries for visualization etc...

You can also use it then to generate PDF/text files for eg tables of sets/reps/whatever you want.
How exactly do you know that people are clicking on the #2 link because they are "sophisticated" and not because they simply prefer #2 for personal reasons?
I like PostgreSQL quite a bit and pushed for using it by default at my company, but SQL pops up in a surprising number of places. You can use it in PowerBI, Snowflake, and pandas just to name a few. You don't always control which DB you're talking to, and it would be nice if the SQL interface that gets presented in those scenarios got an upgrade. PRQL looks like a really promising option for that.

> If they thought people would prefer paywalled content gone they could do that anytime.

Which is what they do by penalizing sites for showing something different to Googlebot than the user.

> I agree the option would be nice, but I think you are wrong that everyone wants paywalled articles excluded

What they want is for non-paywalled links that include the relevant information to be listed first, which is de facto equivalent to excluding paywalled links (because they'll be on page 75) in the vast majority of search results.
My understanding is that essentially zero DIY indie bands are making notable amounts from streaming payouts.
Kind of OT: Why do so many people say “phenomena” when they want to use the singular case?
You are explaining one component of SEO, which is click-through rate. Google will A/B test certain sites one spot higher or one spot lower to see if click-thru rate is positively affected. So if SiteA gets 80% of clicks while in spot #2, but SiteB gets 84% of clicks while in spot 2, then SiteB moves up to spot #2. The cycle continues as sites move up and down a few spots for fine tuning.

However click-through rate is only one component of SEO. The biggest and most significant component of SEO is backlinks, which are ranked by quantity and quality of the link. So if google trusts SiteA a lot and SiteA links to SiteB, then google starts to trust SiteB. If other trusted sites also link to SiteB then the domain reputation grows for that site. Then there is the same ranking on a per-page basis as well. So if one page in particular is very well-linked to, then Google starts to link that page higher and higher for relevant results. This is the largest and most significant aspect of SEO. The click-through rate is a fine-tuning algorithm once you get to the top, but it alone isn't going to help. Google will never test SiteA with SiteZZZZZZZ on page 12.
They always will; starting an Isolate in v8 will always beat a Docker or VM start. They only work with Javascript, but if you're okay with that, then you will have tiny cold start times.
> is aluminum in the ocean an ecological problem in the way plastics are?

It depend a bit on how one want to measure it. Imagine walking in a forest and for every 10 step you see a can laying on the ground. Would that be a ecological problem? Cans and bottles are often home to a lot of insect and other small animals so there could be an argument that in terms of ecology it is beneficial.

The other side of the argument say that any such man made littering is harmful, and since they do not really decompose at a fast pace, its a problem that steadily increase each year. The only trash that realistically get removed from the ocean floor is by divers, generally as a hobby, which is only a tiny sliver of all trash that do end up in the ocean floor. The rest accumulate and do so at an increased rate.
Probably not right now, the standard process would involve re-running a 'finetuning' part after any update to the underlying model, and while that's far less expensive than the main training, it's probably not something you'd want to do every day.
With “intr,” operations are synchronous but cancelable. That doesn’t match any sense of “async” I am familiar with, nor have I heard the term “async mount” before.
