Yeah, it caught me by surprise first time I used htmx. I spent forever trying to troubleshoot why it wouldn't render the error message, then I discovered it was the old "feature not a bug".
This is all handled in an extension:

I don’t know what kludge you’re referring to, it requires you to add basically two attributes to your HTML, it’s really no hardship at all.
I think most consumer market "reporting" is poorly-disguised market-manipulation. Best advice for your portfolio is to tune all of those assholes completely out.
Tabloids like the National Enquirer were known for this but it was originated much earlier by far.

With something like reddit when it starts taking place where it never was before, you're supposed to be convinced you are getting the same thing you have been getting all along, even though it's not always the case any more.

Reminds me a bit of how it was before Whole Foods went public. They were a local Texas healthy market with upscale tendencies and some of the products were outstandingly well-sourced and completely world-class. Especially the minority of imported goods, or most of them wouldn't have even been there. One day some of those fancy European lines began to be replaced systematically with lesser alternatives and newly emerging house brands. They already had a few stores by then, not just the first two in Houston and Austin. The replacement products were not shabby, they were above average but nowhere near world-class most of the time, and this action was scattered throughout the store.

Before too long I found out they were going to go public, that was an IPO I did make decent money on. Co-incidentally that was one I had to inform brokers about, not the other way around.

OTOH, my Whole Foods shopping has gradually dwindled since before the 21st century, to almost nothing by now, an average of zero trips per month.

The more subtle the deception, sometimes the more annoying it can be.

Should I write my own Redis?
Hello,

there is an excellent library for golang which allows you to implement the redis server protocol: https://github.com/tidwall/redcon

I would like to put in the effort to implement most redis commands there and map them to SQL, so that all data can be saved inside a fine tuned sqlite.

Essentially if this is implemented we would have a database compatible to redis, the difference is that data is saved to disk and not to RAM.

Is there a use case for that? Do people want that? There is some interesting things that could be done with that but I am not sure if the world needs this.
To be fair, the f-35 (some variant at least?) went into service like 8 years ago

But yea, 9 yrs vs 2 yrs is quite a difference

There’s another reason AI won’t eliminate jobs. People like to hire people who are like them (also who like them, and who they like).

The only people who AIs are like are AI engineers (more broadly, engineers, scientists, etc). For an AI engineer “hiring” an AI is natural. Nearly every other normal person on the planet would rather hire another person they can easily relate to, regardless of that person’s comparative or competitive advantage.

Here's a backstory at https://continuum-hypothesis.com/boinc_history.php

It's quite interesting to see how it all began.

The peak of this project is largely behind us, although I was a proud member about 10 years ago.
It's a great accomplishment, but it must also be stated that the FRP isn't for Block 4 F-35s, and multiple DoD staff have gone on the record that Block 4 will be a minimum for survivability, to clarify, that's "survivability" in high-threat environments.

War thinky types divide the "battle space" into zones of danger, and stealth platforms justify their cost by being able to penetrate highest threat areas. It's an idea that hasn't really been tested yet, not really, not since 1993. Hopefully we never find out.

Some of the Block 4 mods have been moved up, particularly the necessary avionics stuff, but some of the mods need rework for heat management and other deeper requirements.
I don't know the details. It's not that rural. It's a few miles from Ellsworth (small city) but it's down a private road. They had sorta broadband part-way down the road already. I think it's Verizon they have but am not sure. They were actually happy enough with Starlink but they switched when this became available.
I've always been intrigued by the promise of Matrix, have tried it out multiple times in a span of 5 years. I see it getting adopted by a few open source communities as well, and last I checked they were working on a golang implementation of the core server. However everytime my issue has been it's very slow. Curious what do you use it for ?

Why is it unjammable? It’s just radio.

The satellite adds an extra vulnerability. You can see the satellite from 1000km away. Just build a big directional antenna well outside the war zone.

Jamming signals in a war zone is hard because you give away your own position when you start jamming.

New addition to the wish list:

• The pinching focus remains on the control you just looked at for a fraction of a second as your eyes zoom off it.

That would be killer.

In retrospect, it would have been vintage Apple to have realized this was an important detail and resolved it already.

Also widely spreading fingers within a moment of looking at a control could act as "hovering" with a mouse pointer. Add some kind of glow to the control as an intuitive indicator that it is staying in pinch focus. So you can lock in, still look around, and pinch if you decide to - or just relax the hand to abort.

This ability to lock on last gaze, and pinch/abort, would dramatically free the eyes to continue roaming naturally.
So how do you deal with more than 10,000 euros cash in the EU ? In the EU if you can’t account for your cash and it’s over a certain amount, I think 10,000 euros but it might be as low as 2000 euros, then the government can just take it all off you.

Perfect accounting ? Keeping bank receipts? Videoing you whole waking life?

Most proprietary code runs behind firewalls and won't be affected by this one way or another.

It's basically always better to start training with a pre-trained model rather than random, even if what you want isn't that close to what you start with.
And this post is just ignorance.

The SR-71 was a incredibly limited run, extremely expensive, designed to do a VERY specific mission.

The F-35 is designed to do multiple missions, mass manufacturable, exportable to allied countries, and is a general purpose fighter.

Comparing them is pure ignorance.

It's not a popular fact but Russia is excelling at this area right now.

The detail how they measure this in the readme. This is directed at all the sibling comments as well!

TLDR they recompile and then re-execute (including test suites). From the results table it looks like GPT4 still "outperforms" their model in recompilation, but their recompiled code has a much better re-execution success rate (less hallucinations). But, that re-execution rate is still pretty lacking (around 14%), even if better than GPT4.

That's interesting. I am very nearsighted, and whenever I need new lenses, it's going to be a dilemma. I read the iphone without my glasses; that's as far as I can see, and can read most tiny print without the glasses.

If I misplace my glasses, I can't see very far, so I use the phone as my second set of eyes to find them.

Camera viewfinder requires near-infinity focus by my eyes whereas the flat panel requires taking my glasses off.

How I manage is beyond me, and could just flip.

I just wonder how high power readers will need to be if I go for infinity focus, i.e. "normal" vision.

"Looking" forward to varifocal glasses, contacts or implants. Some rudimentary progress has been made, I recall. Of course, headsets will do that, but I'm not going there full time, nor even part time.

As far as HN goes, there are sufficient articles of real interest to me, that FOMO takes over. My interests are pretty varied, so filtering, which I tried, fails. My hobbies could take full time (retired). Photos keep on coming and piano practice is never ended. There is always something just beyond reach.

Curious what part of React you think makes it "hacker friendly". React can be done very simply, and I see no part of it that makes it any friendlier to "hackers" than HTMX.

Sorry to bug you with more questions but I literally dreamed of nix-snapshotter for years, so I'm excited. Do you know how this (installation burden) translates in the real world (GKS? AKS? etc)?

Can one even get away with abusing DaemonSets/hostDir/privileged on hosted clusters to modify their own installations? Or is `nix-snapshotter` just sort of out of the question on those provided solutions?

I have yet to work anywhere where people refactor anywhere near as much as they should, so I think this is really sending the wrong message. People massively overestimate the risks of refactoring and massively underestimate the risks of not refactoring - which many people incorrectly assume don't exist.
From Dan Gillmor: https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112102491028919681

"The auto industry has almost completely abandoned the idea of selling affordable cars in the U.S.

China is plainly planning to fill the gap, as Japan did some decades ago.

This will -- guaranteed -- lead to a furious response, but that won't include US carmakers actually competing. The response will be protectionism, because one thing history has shown us is that American companies facing foreign competition are terrified of actual competition."
It’s fun to watch the Anthropic principle develop organically in this sub-thread.
Do you happen to have a write-up of this? I'd be interested in building the same capability, although I doubt we have the same provider.
I believe it’s often not so much that old technology is bad or shouldn’t be maintained, but rather that in some circumstances, supporting old tech can be disproportionately burdensome considering the percentage of users served and can prove to be obstructive to sometimes much-needed efforts to refactor and modernize.

None of that seems to apply in this situation so there’s no reason not to.
I believe HTML, CSS and JS needs an overhaul. There’ll be a point where maintaining backwards compatibility will result in more harm than benefit. Make a new opt-in version of the three which are brutally simplified. Deprecate the old HTML/CSS/JS, to be EOL’d in 2100.
It’s a bit of a cop out.
The fact is that China is going to fill that cheap car gap and is going to lead to a furious response, but that won't include US carmakers actually competing, as Dan Gillmor says: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39736429
That's honestly a compelling price point. I got an M2 mini for $499.
It’s been quite a few years since anything US-military related didn’t also bring up thoughts and questions about the Chinese military for me as well.

The gap between the two has closed so much within the last decade, people just do some hand waving to dismiss china because it gives them some sort of psychological comfort.

In this case for example it’s the cost - sure the US spends billions more on defense, but the gap in spending is way, way smaller than people think. It’s not just a matter of ppp or anything like that, which of course plays a big part, but also just the stage in maturity these organizations are in.

Not even sure what my point here, maybe I was just made uneasy by the person throwing a congratulations out there as if this were some sort of big accomplishment. The Chinese are making bigger strides day-to-day and I don’t see them celebrating.
Now thanks to Devin, anyone can have that skill!
Question: what is the proper verb to use with a query? I always thought of it as a GET and passing the query via the body. You are GETting information, rather than trying to add information.

For that matter I've never quite figured out when to use POST vs PUT. POST doesn't feel right for a query.

Yes, it's an implementation of the radical idea that we should deliver HTML (rather than a giant blob of JS) to clients purpose-built for rendering HTML.

I've come to believe arguments from analogy are pretty much inherently fallacious.

The pretty obvious difference is that routing shit into a bathroom makes a real, negative difference in the suffering caused by shit.

Routing drug dealing into open air drug markets makes a real, positive difference, because you can police public markets to prevent violence in a way you can't police private areas, and you can provide services such as clean needles and rehab outreaches where they are most likely to reach people who need them. Such markets tend to arise in places where drug use was already rampant--i.e. they aren't creating new suffering.

The only similarity your analogy is addressing is the visibility of the problems. In your analogy, you're making the problem more visible by removing the solution, which obviously has negative effects that don't apply to drug legalization, because drug legalization is removing a big part of the problem rather than removing the solution.

Brother, unless you tried to start with class metaprogramming or something, there's no way someone proficient with C to have struggles with basic python.

Probably you didn't find a good resource. There are always resources like "X for Y programmer", this is what a quick Google search finds: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~milind/datascience/2018sprin...

Or you learned the basics, held yourself to high standards, and got bored by all the dynamism / OOP details of python. Then let me tell you - 70% of python programmer don't use anything beyond basic OOP.
I’m guessing the issue is devs putting business logic constraints in the client and not duplicating them in the server

The F-35 does seem like a colossal waste of money, but it's also one a government jobs program and a cash cow for MIC investors with a budget of $1.7 trillion, which is how the government makes these decisions:

https://theweek.com/us-military/1020858/the-f-35-fighter-jet...

Lockheed Martin is moving towards drone fighter jets under "Project Carrera" although their ideal is to have a F-35 controlling a swarm of fighter drones that travel with it, which seems like a convenient excuse to keep producing and selling the F-35. Eventually the human fighter pilot will be removed from the system and it'll all be run by an AI called SkyNet.

Also, I live above the Swedbank. In the worst case scenario I can easily (with some wait time, because Swedbank) do my banking in person.

I think WISP/point-to-point wireless over the last mile, with fiber only in the core town areas, is much more promising than pulling fiber long distances to every rural residence. This technology has come a long way and is super affordable now. That's what the government should be subsidizing. But more importantly, the feds should be preventing local governments from outlawing municipal ISPs (https://broadbandnow.com/report/municipal-broadband-roadbloc...).
I have a tangential question about non-human consciousness.

It is almost impossible for a human to perceive color red as colour blue. But this won't be a problem for a futuristic humanoid.
