Eh, nah. Nothing wrong with off-blacks. Gray colors as well as other colors are fantastic when written with a fountain pen, even muted ones.

The initial contact might not always have been peaceful, but the actual blend often is. Germany is not at war inside even though there is huge mixing between its states and the states themselves are not all historically "cut", one was also created by people voting to merge. People actually wanted to blend the various smaller states into one back in the 19th century (so the other way around).
The public is asking for quite a lot of manual "fixing" for an AI that was supposed to be an entirely technical process. This has to be an impossible task, given the range of contentious issues and the difficulty of addressing them to the liking of the loud voices on social media.

This is exacerbated by the current style of articles that don't primarily report on the issue, but on the reactions to the issue and thus preventing the readers from forming their own opinions. An article like this could give the reader a little excercise for the comments to try and create a better answer for some of the problematic queries - not easy!

I hope we get to have our own AIs on our own machines, raw powertools instead of walled gardens carefully curated by scared corporations.
No, it is not. It has a negative score, which is quite impressive in itself, but the posts are visible.

I don't work in games, but it seems like making a game engine is incredibly complicated, and has some unbounded requirements. In many ways, it seems harder than making a working browser.

Had good results with echarts. With Superset not so much: complicated to install, lost all dashboards after an update, cryptic error messages, custom queries meh: we decided to use views in Postgres. The project with Superset was finished successfully, but the time spend is a multiple compared to using something like Power BI.

All in all, not very innovative, but highly needed open source version of a traditional BI tool. Definitely something to follow and to use in temporary, not too demanding use cases. And hopefully a future replacement of Tableau or Power BI.

It’s a technique used heavily in psychedelic art and set design for festivals and events, particularly before projection mapping became the norm. When there’s spectral control of the lighting source this can be varied to bring out extremely contrasting detail in a surface or set of surfaces. As with most techniques its usage can range from pure gimmick to beautifully executed mastery.
The goal behind "hooks" was to make React simpler for beginners. I build client-side apps since 2007, and React is getting too magical and complex for even for me. The NextJS influence is really making things worse, "use server" "use client" tags do not scale at all. The project clearly lacks mission, goal, leadership and direction. I'll use Preact in the next projects.
So that you can run it on its own source as demonstration of its powers?
Any cloud platform should have a spend-stop amount built in.

i.e. if I know I average $10 a day, I should be able to put in a "If it hits $50, email me and take it offline".

Of course the opposite problem is then people setting that limit too low but since the user defines the limit that's on them not you.

This is one of the reasons I still in 2024 rent physical boxes and run the modern stuff on top of them directly, yes it costs me more per month but the price is hard capped.
> they don't trade bandwidth as a commodity

I really don't get your point. If you're a hosting provider, the very thing you're selling is bandwidth (and disk space). Everything else is a value added service.

Show HN: Stree – tree view of S3 bucket
Curiously enough, I had to observe the following to a friend just yesterday:

that a large number of people cannot count will impede Society, but will not impede Mathematics.

(But not so «curiously»: many people have a bewildering drive towards overusing 'we', hence notes like the above.)

"We" stands for a factually un-simple thing and is best avoided when, for example, it confuses collective work, group work, individual work. If "we have killed the planet" or "we have gone to the moon" have a constructive, productive sense in the context they are uttered, good, otherwise they are rationally meaningless.

That "a structured collective effort facilitated Feynman" is true, that "we achieved Feynman's results" makes sense only under some interpretations.

And when you meet "We have all set fire to national monuments" (Graham Chapman), well some of us have not. And when you meet "We were not so we could not", well that "we" is probably not universal.
I agree.. but I'm surprised how little Heroku alternatives have popped up yet.. There is new contestants, mostly focussed on more global deploys, but no "Heroku but maintained" that I know of.. yet.
> People thought Microsoft had run its course, one year after the release of Windows 95?

Not sure if I made this clear, but I am referring to industry publications, and to what seemed to be a vast majority of my colleagues at Microsoft. Experienced business watchers who could read an SEC filing, and who had a mature grasp of business, knew better, but it wasn’t sexy to keep printing opinions like that.

I’m sure Department of Justice problems weren’t helping either. So these kids were exercising stock options like crazy because of the bad press.

These were people in their mid 20s who had entered these amazing jobs just out of college, and who had experienced several years of astonishing growth. They were both internally and externally very good at taking criticism. I think they just overcorrected at the first sign of trouble. I was a decade older, and had been studying business on my own for about 20 years by that point.

I had also worked for many companies that were nowhere near as well put together as Microsoft. Microsoft makes its share of mistakes, but never in ways that jeopardize the company’s existence. That may sound trivial, but if you’ve ever run a company, you’ll understand that it’s a surprisingly rare trait. Just managing not to fuck up too badly is exceedingly rare in the business world, and I think they didn’t quite understand that. Because they were open to criticism, they really couldn’t understand how special the company was at that time. Since they came in fresh from college, they had nothing to compare their jobs to. To them it was what any job should be.
> CRA was useful when it first appeared because the whole space was a big mess. But it very quickly outlived its usefulness, and its approach was really problematic in my opinion. The config was too complex to eject and modify compared to what you could do yourself with Webpack directly.

Yes agree, but writing and marinating config for multiple projects just don`t scale. Not to mention we need something dirty and fast.
Depends on how lucky one feels getting VAAPI to work with their open source driver.
It depends where. I used to do Android training in Malaysia. There's substantially more Android devs here, because colleges don't have the budget to do iOS training and many people can't afford a Macbook. iOS jobs would pay about 30% more for the same work or less.

So people would switch from Android to iOS because of the pay if they could.

At senior levels, Android tends to pay better because there's lots of really niche knowledge, especially around the differences between Xiaomi/Samsung/custom devices as well as how locale/currency is handled. I just wrote a 1000 character essay complaining about the differences, but it's besides the point.

Can anyone clarify how the compiler would fit into the workflow? Are we talking some kind of CLI that takes a JSX/TSX entry point as input and outputs a compiled JS bundle, like a replacement for Webpack/Rollup etc. but more specialised to optimise React code? Or something more fine-grained that operates on a single component/module at a time? Or something else?

I wonder how much this is affected by the prevalence of leasing. Something like 1/3 of new cars in the UK start off as leases. At the end of the lease period most/all of them hit the second hand market. In this case I think even the seller doesn't know if it's a lemon or not and, in any case, they will always want to liquidate the car as soon as possible, even if it's a peach. So they would factor the market price into the lease deal and sell all cars at market price regardless.
We had a recent use case to log outbound TCP connections _excluding_ internal and known addresses from our k8s infrastructure, with the log including the process name/pid, uid a bunch of other metadata.

"Did you know that just a couple of thousand of years ago there were more elephants than humans in sub Saharan Africa? "

This does not appear surprising. Elephants were perfectly adapted to that environment and able to fend off dangerous predators. Humans - several thousand years ago - were not as dangerous. And thus used to be the prey of necessity for older, limping lions in the past. The old big cats could no longer catch a fleeting gazelle but the slow, clumsy humans made an acceptable substitute - even if the meat tasted like bad pig. Even in the last millennium, thousands of humans were devoured by man-eating cats.
So basically the whole point of them is being loud and obnoxious (in every sense of the word)

OpenAI. In my eyes, Google’s power is entirely in a) assets, b) an army of geniuses, and c) a brand that lets it maintain ubiquitous monopoly status over search ads. Google does a lot of other cute stuff, and they desperately want another revenue stream, but the simple truth is that the entire core of the company’s whole operation is search ads. Display ads are on the way out due to privacy concerns, and OpenAI has damaged both b and c.
And yet it is. And if it weren’t some other rents seeking platform Would take its place.

What the author is ultimately complaining about is something they touched upon, which is that the creative market is saturated and in order to survive you need to have another job.

You can call it “diversification of revenue sources,” but what it actually is is getting a job as a waiter or a waitress while you audition for your Hollywood dreams.

And it happens when there are too many people wanting to sing and dance and be in movies and not enough people ready to pay them to do that.

So there’s an oversupply of creative talent, which is about to get even more squeezed as artificial intelligence pushes in on human capital.

There are, at the end of the day, only so many eyeballs, and not everyone can be the radio star.

Whenever there is a financialization of creative markets, there are artists screaming about the legitimacy of the art, and the connection with the receiver of that art, is being tainted by the commercialization.

But it doesn’t matter. The commercialization is inevitable because artist need to eat, and unless they have patrons, they have customers, and that’s just how the thing has worked throughout history.

Really at core it’s just another industry being eaten by software.

This is a trend that has been going on for a very long time, as tokenization and monetization and incremental digital transformation comes in and gradually disassembles ways of human existence into component parts and creates a business model around them. Let’s remember that painters screamed about photography being sacrilege and not even qualifying as an art form as the process involved no expression but mere capture. I met a few in my younger years who regaled me with my camera about the wrong I was committing.

It’s been the thing that’s been going on here for 30 years (and I’ve been lucky to watch the juice being squeezed). But from a digital perspective this is the way that it works in the modern economy. There’s a gold rush, then a reckoning, and from ashes emerge winners and losers, eventually leading to another stabilized period. That stability then transforms by new technology (the next breakthrough) and another rapid change of social behavior and income opportunity happens. It just goes on and on as digital technology progresses.

> The content should be meaningful, insightful, written, recorded or filmed for your audience. The people who give a shit. The people who care.

That’s the price of digital. It exacts emotional taxes to make change and people find it difficult and objectionable to watch their values erode as it gets eaten by disruption. But can anyone really get off the bus? Maybe if there’s a large scale EMP attack, the internet is shut down from a massive cybersecurity event, or solar flare, but I see almost no other way to stop the disruption otherwise as the snake that eats it tail pays the bills.
I don’t know enough to speak to the geopolitical issues, but from a technical aspect, repair of this won’t be cheap or fast.

The problem is that it isn't entirely clear which ones have predictable cost to the non-lawyers eye. I.e. they should have to have sane defaults, like reasonable spending limits and opt-out, by regulation, since the market is failing here.
Nice find. I've been collecting Renaissance-era books about automata and early AI.
The problem for me is that it's yet another thing that allows Apple (and other in the EU soon to be commonly installed app stores) to censor content they don't like. Telegram is forced to censor channels that Apple/Google don't like. There are no porn apps on the app store. No gab.com apps anywhere (there was a massive effort to censor them up to and including banning Mastodon clients when they produced a compatible Mastodon instance)
The effects on political censorship are heavy.

> Old people that own houses want them to be a good invesment.

This sounds very simplistic. The majority of homeowners don't care.

You talk a lot about investment but if you ask homeowners if their house is an investment or a home, the majority will say the latter.

For homeowners who want to live in their home (as opposed to house flippers) the value of the house is not relevant. They live there, they plan to continue living there. Having the value go up is not good, it just means paying more taxes for the same home. It's better for the value to remain constant or even go down (same home, less taxes, yay!)

> housing can not simultaneously be a good investment AND be affordable

That's impossible from simple economics. As long as there is inflation (and there will always be inflation, it is a goal of the fed), a durable good cannot go down in price over the long haul (unless the whole city collapses like Detroit, but that's not good for anyone either). What you wish for is impossible.

I think that c might be inverted. It's the economic power/performance of their search ads that let them maintain a brand rather than the other way around.
If you work at google as an engineer or tester and you notice that the newest AI does output ridiculous levels of "corpo diversity", would you report it to higher ups?

I believe anything involving diversity in the workplace or in this case advertising is extremely toxic and people might think twice. It is a culture of no tolerance (against intolerance supposedly) towards diverging thoughts that it is in stark contrast with the message they are trying to send in their products.

Craig Wright being Satoshi is unpopular opinion in the Bitcoin community but I think there is a good chance that he is indeed Satoshi or that he was a leader of Satoshi group.

I will write it up sooner or later as a blog post(the clues that I found).
