> I'm curious about what your experience with Deno itself was

I'd describe it as mostly good, but not good enough. I prefer it over Node as a server runtime for several reasons (more secure by default is a huge deal, simpler yet better tool chain which "just works", APIs which respect web standards, plugin system is really cool) , and if I had to build a project based around Typescript in a monorepo I'd almost certainly prefer deno over Node.

One thing I really liked at first was how easily you can write executable scripts... I didn't expect to like it, but Typescript is very expressive and sane enough that writing a script with it is relatively pleasant. However, the real snag is that you need deno on a machine to run them... I love writing scripts with Go too, and it's arguably much nicer off the shelf, so that plus quickly lost its appeal as well. I prefer portability too much not to stick with bash, or otherwise publish executable binaries. Regardless, it's a cool feature if you're on a team which uses deno; using TS across the stack, even in your scripts (without the gnarly barrier of npm or some other script runner) seems like it could be legitimately capable and productive, but also ergonomic without significant compromise in most cases.

> Go is cumbersome and missing a lot of the nice APIs that Deno provides

I would have agreed a few years ago, but I know I was personally just "holding it wrong". Go is very powerful and easy to use in the right hands. However, it could only be that I do relatively simple tasks with it, or those the language designers intended. I don't doubt for a second that you had a bad experience with it for legitimate reasons; I only mean that I had a rough time with it because I didn't understand the language deeply enough.

Admittedly, I wanted to use Go like I used Typescript. They're much different languages underneath, but sometimes it feels as though you should be able to design things in similar ways. It's typically not the case, though. The type system is far different, and the fact that it supports concurrency so primitively means a lot of its constructs are designed quite differently than intuition might inform you if you're coming from the Node world. Otherwise, they lack overlap in terms of how objects work, Go's lack of prototypical inheritance, and so on. When you put it all together they're far different from each other, and their patterns less fungible, than they seemed to me at a glance.

However, I'm not a classically trained computer scientist so I've often been prone to holding languages wrong, so to speak, until error and extensive reading pounded a proper grasp and understanding into my mind.

> the nice APIs that Deno provides

I'm curious, what are these missing APIs from your perspective?
> One of my favorites is something like "the richest 10 people have more net worth than the bottom 40% of Americans SUMMED". Well the bottom 40% of Americans are in debt, so if you have $1, the above statement is true for you too!

That interpretation is even more shocking than "the rich are so rich". Like, a very significant part of your population have to resort to borrowing money in a death spiral to bankruptcy, just to survive. While 40% just barely surviving paycheck to paycheck is bad enough, 40% in debt is even worse because the people who barely make do come on top of that.

The lower class minority struggles day to day, and the fat cats at the top make bank despite the world being embroiled into a multitude of parallel crises.
Me too! I was really looking forward to seeing a summary of so many books. Was expecting to see something like:

* everyone is afraid of dying

My thoughts after this sentence filled a huge gap I was wondering about, thanks.
All of those PhDs and not a single one of them decided to sit down, take 17-and-a-half minutes to write a program, and experimentally prove it. Did PhDs in the early 90s not have computers? I had a computer and I'm a scrub.
If an organization considers it sensitive, that implies they’re putting some level of reliance on it being so. Otherwise there would be no point in considering it sensitive.

There’s a difference between “making it easier for an attacker” and using it as a security control, even if it’s not the only security control. The point is that even if you don’t go around wearing a shirt with your address on it, that should never factor in to your designs for security. It should never be considered a security control, even a “defense in depth” one.

In fact, your threat model should ideally ask the question “assume someone does walk around with a shirt with my address on it, will I still be safe?” That doesn’t mean you’re actually going to go do it, but if the answer is yes, that’s how you know you’ve done your job.
This is a fairly niche case, but for Destiny players, DIM (Destiny Item Manager) is pretty indispensable and is a great PWA. https://destinyitemmanager.com/en/

On a more serious note, despite Apple's attempts to hobble/kill PWA, it is a very important platform for serving platform-agnostic apps not bounded by a walled-garden. Call me cynical, but the future is looking increasingly authoritarian, with governments everywhere calling for _less_ computing freedom. It is a terrible time to try to hobble this technology.

> I am building a data pipeline to securely extract data from bank statements

> Currently I see ChatGPT has the best OCR

> What should I do?

Think hard about the combination of “securely” and using ChatGPT, in either meaning of the word. If you want to keep the data private, you don’t want to send it out on the internet anywhere. If you want your OCR to perform repeatable, you don’t want to use ChatGPT in its current form. It will every now and then make up reasonably convincing lies.

When done, think about whether HN is the proper place to ask these questions.

Seems like at least in the digital world, there is either public or private information, and that's it. We don't really have a good concept of privilege or protected information.

For example, my home address is technically public, but I most certainly wouldn't want it lambasted across the interstate with a picture of my family next to it advertising where I live. It's handed out on a need-to-know basis, and I mostly trust / expect that it's kept mostly confidential, or use-limited.
Thanks for sharing. How about purchasing home for primary resident? Most people who buy home for personal residence believe they are making a sound investment. I contend that the opposite is the case.

EVs need to be purchased because of demand for lower cost of travel and better vehicle options. I don't think that's happening.

To some extent this feels like something that's happening a lot in tech across the board, not just in 'culture war' type issues but across several other fronts (the various Metaverse flops, for example). I do think this indicates an overabundance of groupthink, but part of me wonders if its just a consequence of these companies becoming so big and working on so many fronts that it's basically impossible for them to avoid stepping on every rake. Still, they did seem like they genuinely wanted this to take off so concerning that couldn't be prepared for even this basic failure mode (which is already a pretty well-trod problem space).
oh, thank you for the correction!
Same here, going into UNIX back in the early 1990's, after using the Borland IDEs across MS-DOS and Windows 3.x (and being aware of their OS/2 versions), felt like time travel to the genesis of programming, CP/M style.

Thankfully a professor pointed us to XEmacs, which I managed to get my Borland experience back, which became my UNIX companion until KDevelop, Eclipse, Netbeans came to rescue.
This period actually saw the rise of "munition armor" which was meant to be mass produced. This was part of the reason for the transition to 3/4 cuirasses - the arms and legs, in addition to being less vital, are also where a lot of the customization was needed; if you stop armoring them then everything becomes lighter and cheaper.

Theres a lot of not-great software that can have bites taken out of it by LLM advancements and most of the incumbents are going to pay into it because they just can't compete in the AI field.

Can LLMs become reliable enough at transforming data that it can replace or augment the current slew of ETL tools? Can it produce visualizations better then current BI tools? Can copilot compete with a junior developer? Im not sure, but at this point Im willing to say 50/50 which is worth the bet.

Dealers love to add expensive addons like GPS trackers, remote starters, or paint protection. It is hard to find a new car that doesn't have that garbage. Especially in a short time frame.
I just find it bizarre that some people are hellbent on denying that pornography has any adverse effects.

How do you suggest ideological diversity be designed? Ideological anarchy won’t be accepted. Neither will whitewashed center-party ideological conformity. The reality is that some of these ideologies are inextricably locked in mortal conflict against one another. Some of them consciously seek to undermine, subvert, or supersede one another. It’s not that simple.

Imho, unlike crypto and NFT, AI is not a solution in search of a problem. While there is a lot of hand waving, it is not very adventurous to predict that there will be significant productivity gains by adding AI on top of current business processes. Thus the killer apps will be... the same apps we are using today with a touch of AI magic dust.
It's estimated that there won't be anyone with Down syndrome in a few decades.

Estimated by who? Perhaps in the places where parents have enough access to enough prenatal health care and/or enough disposable income for the test and the procedure. Or the places where legislatures aren't trying to make terminating a pregnancy under any circumstance murder. This will clearly come as a great surprise to you, but those conditions cover a very large percentage of humans.

So, no, from a practical standpoint genetic diseases probably aren't going to magically go away any time soon no matter what technology exists to identify them.

I don't think the naming really suggests that. The new naming suggests they'll have two sets, the "open" models and their commercial ones.

Is it actually summarizing the books, or is it regurgitating things other people have said about the books in its training data?
since it is unencrypted and SMS messages are publicly broadcast wirelessly. This means that bad actors who are physically near to you can trivially snoop on 2FA codes that are texted to you.

This is news to me. I worked in the wireless industry and our phones were encrypted and this was in the 90's, albeit GSM encryption which is weak by todays standard and also routing over SS7 which is not encrypted but that is a different set of problems. Are we saying that we have gone backwards and phones are no longer encrypted or is this specific to people using LTE-over-wifi and the people at risk are in a coffee shop? That sounds like a LTE-over-wifi problem that needs to be addressed if so. A mitigating control could be a trivial update to cell phone's to prefer LTE over wifi for text messaging or to disable texting over wifi until the protocols have been fixed to properly accommodate shared wifi. LTE over wifi uses a VPN so I am not sure what is going on here. If this is a real issue then lets address that issue. Either way I do not use shared Wifi. I have more of an issue of text messages being routed through Google by default which is extremely problematic in that it brings both SS7 weaknesses and advertising company vulnerabilities.

Perhaps I am the odd one out here and my reply won't apply to anyone else on HN. I know I am not alone however as many in my community share my beliefs and methodologies. I do not use passkeys and will not as my devices are ephemeral. If anything my dependency on cell phones and data-persisting devices will be diminished sooner than later. I tried out smart phones and I hate them. I am going back to a dumb flip phone. Hardware tokens are also problematic as most companies do not want to spend the money on either the hardware or the support costs to maintain them. For desktops I iPXE or sometimes USB boot a default image and then copy down a few config files. Honestly I just don't log into things over my phone and will not. Nothing is that important and almost everyone I do business with I can either walk into their brick-and-mortor business or I can use a desktop PC with a secure password manager at my leisure. I honestly prefer to walk into a business so that all the employees know me and will know if someone is up to no good. All but one bank account is read-only from the internet and I keep very little in that one account and outgoing ACH transfers are blocked.
Transmission capacity does seem to be the main problem with expanding the grid in several countries - a problem that applies equally to new nuclear (which can't be where older coal/gas/oil plants are as they tend to need things like large amounts of water)
What if you looked at all the justifications in the US and engineered for the most onerous ones by default rather than per project? It may raise the initial cost but would likely allow for the repeatability cost savings which could theoretically offset. A cursory non expert look at this suggests that things thst must be followed in the most onerous places also cover lesser places, but I’m no expert.

Local environmental reviews remain a real challenge then though assuming it can even be done.

What. No, look, for example: assessed from a "net worth" perspective, almost every single college student is in the "debtor" column, because the net present value of a college education isn't something that shows up in the calculation.

If I borrow money to buy a car, but have no substantial savings, then I'm a debtor - but if I can easily afford the payment then there's no problem, is there?

You're making one of the exact same semantic errors as the OP was talking about.
