The moment you think your configuration language needs loops or conditionals, drop it and just throw a scripting language on there. Your users will thank you.
If you do server-side rendering of your React application, then it would be very similar to htmx from that perspective.

If it’s is purely a SPA, then all business logic would be behind secure APIs, so I don’t really understand your point.
you know the saying; the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent and all that. turns out P/E ratios determine a theoretical floor for the price, but as we've seen with Tsla and crypto, this shits all vibes anyway. AI isn't slowing down,
or going to go anywhere, so these stocks, overvalued though you might see them, aren't going to go down anytime soon, in my opinion, so while what your say is true, NVDA and smci are safe to hold. the real question is what's going on with tsmc and mu, given their proximity to NVDA, and their lack of a pop.
Oh yea? What if I build a billion planes. Then what?
In a nutshell, the problem is this. I don't know whether this has changed, but this was true as of 2018 / 2019.

Most of their motherboards have IPMI with a separate a management port. A good number of them share IPMI management with the motherboard's primary ethernet port by default if nothing is plugged in to the management port. The motherboards have no way to configure them to NOT share the primary ethernet port beyond having the full stack of software needed to configure their IPMI.

What this means is that there're no jumpers one can change and no settings accessible in the BIOS that can force IPMI to stay on its own port, so if a BIOS gets reset, the battery dies or even just temporarily fails to provide power (like if it's being shipped by air and gets very cold), or you want to ship servers directly to a datacenter, the machine is 100% ownable on the public interface BY DEFAULT unless the management port is connected (and even then sometimes it decides to share the primary port - probably a function of link negotiation speed with the switch).

Sure, it's not a common occurrence, but it happens.

The solution for all the servers we already had deployed? We got ethernet loopback plugs for every one of them where the IPMI port wasn't already connected to a switch we administered.

A reasonable response: "Sure, that could be a problem sometimes. We can't change motherboards we already sold, but we'll bring this up with our design team so there'll be a jumper you can change so sharing will never happen, even with a reset BIOS."

Their response: "This isn't a security issue."
> Good luck defending your air defenses if your opposition can throw hundreds or thousands of drones at you, all of which can travel faster than Mach 10.

We used to just call those cruise missiles. I guess everything needs to just be called a drone now.
Great work on this, it looks really promising! The industry is really a mess with a mix of interfaces. On one end there is stuff like RS422 which is simple but only the hardware layer is really standard and normally its not set up or tested to more than 1Mbps. On the other end there is stuff like spacewire which is a good standard but it's not something a university payload team can dive into with COTS parts.

Question: what's the power consumption like? When I was an aerospace grad student, I tried really hard to use ethernet to interface everything for a cubesat-sized spacecraft. But it turned out each port consumes about 0.25W at 10Mbps and 0.5W at 100Mbps. That's per port, so up to 1W just to connect 2 devices. That is a lot when your main cpu consumes 1W, and payloads and other devices often use much less. It would have almost tripled total power consumption.

I looked into the EEE (energy efficient ethernet) standard and it didn't seem workable for using COTS things, it only seemed workable if you had design authority over everything.

I kind of knew changing the physical layer was possible but I didn't know where to start, and anyway the microcontrollers I had picked out at the time because they "had ethernet" turned out to be very hard to use with more standard devices, defeating the point.

Another couple of questions. I like gecko connectors but why not choose the ones with mating screws? Also interested in criteria for selecting the Tyco connectors.

By the way, there is a small company that makes very tiny ethernet switches[1] for drones. There are 100Mbps and 1Gbps versions and they have nice connectors you are probably already familiar with. They are very nice for development of embedded stuff, even if you don't integrate it in your project and just use it for the sake of getting a pile of routers off of your desk.

We use htmx (mostly via our django-livecomponents) on our production website, for several public facing features. We've initially replaced numerous small things that were built with Alpine before, and once we've gained confidence we rewrote our whole messaging app from reason/react app.

Fun thing, customers find the new version (htmx/django-livecomponents) to be more responsive than the old version (react+REST). New version is less lines of code and easier to hack on die to fewer context switching.

Give htmx a try, it's worth a shot!
> The point of the comment is to point out that putting human misery into people’s faces isn’t a value-neutral decision.

That would be an arguable point, but you certainly didn't make that with your shit analogy. If you'd care to provide any evidence for that point whatsoever, I'd be happy to address that evidence, but you haven't provided any evidence for that point to even argue against.

The shit analogy isn't evidence because the problems of putting shit in the streets aren't cause by its visibility, they're caused (mostly) by bacteria.

> I don’t want to see trauma surgery or graphic sex on the way to the park with my kids either, though I am of course fine with both existing in the world.

Again with the argument from analogy being fallacious.

You likely won't see open air drug markets on the way to the park with your kids unless you already lived in a neighborhood where your children were already going to be exposed to drug use. These open air drug markets aren't opening in the Hamptons, they're opening in areas where the drug crisis was already pervasive.

Try running a browser and adobe creative suite along with a darktable/lighttable. That kind of photography workflow also fills up the tiny available storage really fast so the macs end up being unwieldly octopuses of fragile USB/thunderbolt devices. I don't do it myself, but I do do tech support for them when they go wrong. And usually it's because they run out of the paltry 8GB of ram.
Garbage pro-colonialist perspective which treats anti-colonial struggle as fanaticism
That sounds like an irrational fear of front-end.
As far as I know it "just happened." Presumably whatever provider decided that it would be profitable to extend Internet to a group of homes that are decidedly not low income. Maybe they had some requests from homeowners.

I'm not even sure why my brother switched. It was presumably cost as they were perfectly happy with Starlink. (Which, as I wrote, I was perfectly happy with as well the times I was up there.)

Pre-Starlink, lack of decent Internet options were increasingly an issue with the people along the road. Not that I go up there a lot but I couldn't have worked remotely from up there pre-Starlink.

Start selling physical products using ecommerce. With the rise of Temu and Shein, the pendulum is all the way in the other direction. But I think people will soon look out and search for good quality, strong brands which are made locally. Learn some fun marketing techniques, do your customer segmentation properly and sell a popular product with a new spin. Lot of money to be made there. I honestly think ex software folks can make great business people because they understand streams and optimization.
How would one be sure this guide were safe to follow? Ultimately one has to trust someone, which isn't really different to trusting a hardware manufacturer. One still has to decide on trust based on reputation, etc.

"You really think it's worth getting bent out of shape that one guy is using a little bit of lead solder to repair a valuable antique"

Yes.

Not even close.

As someone who repaires such things myself, I know that there is no excuse for it.

Simple as that.

I do it myself and so I know just how not-a-problem it is.

Several lead-free solders are perfectly usable in all the same places, and the only way to reduce the background radiation of lead permeating the entire environment, is to stop putting it into the environment.

Keeping the antique radio out of the dump does not excuse the fact that the same user had to buy a spool of lead solder which had to be manufactured, and at least half of that spool will go right into the environment, not into museum exhibits.

It will be in spatters and sponges and wicks and soldapults and brillo scrubbers and random junk scrapped wiring and junk projects that are not antique radios housed in museums forever. Probably 90% or more of that spool ends up all over the environment rather than in some precious artifact.

Yes the lead-free solders are slightly more difficult to work with, but hardly enough to matter. If you never soldered anything before, the very act of soldering successfully at all is a baffling art to a lot of people. After some amount of trial & error, maybe training if they're lucky enough to know someone, they eventually develop a feel and a sense for how to get it to work right. Going from lead to lead-free requires a similar adjustment, but it's a freaking microscopic fraction of the difficulty.

Complaining about lead-free solder is nothing but pathetic baby crying, and crying over something that is simply not that difficult, and something that comes at a simply inexcusable cost.

I have a central heat pump in my house, but it doesn't heat the basement very well. My solution for awhile was to run Folding@home on my server, since I figure pretty much every computer is a 100% efficient heater as well.

I eventually stopped because I work in my basement and the server was way too loud when running at full load, but it did a reasonably good job keeping my desk area nice and toasty.
On my LLM benchmarks Claude 3 Opus beats only one flavor of GPT-4: GPT-4 Turbo v3/1106-preview

All the other flavors are still better, with top winners: GPT-4 v1/0314 and GPT-4 Turbo v4/0125-preview.

The benchmark is based on prompts and tests from LLM-driven products, so it is biased towards business cases.
Brett Scott is a great public money intellectual. Happened to be listening to this podcast with him yesterday. I know it has "blockchain" in the name but that actually provokes Scott to answer some interesting hypothetical questions.

Are you saying there's something bad about backing up repositories? That seems like a very good service to have.
Well, it was a bit more than that, but it is still hilarious, how they changed everything after the initial desaster, so that the US side would still win:

"After the war game was restarted, its participants were forced to follow a script drafted to ensure a Blue Force victory."

The alternative would have been uncomfortable after all.
After having implemened many complex distributed state machines I started thinking along the terms of how do abstract away the engineering part of it and provide a platform for writing business logic. Technical term for it is workflow orchestration. You might have heard of AWS Step functions.

Check out Temporal, it's open source and lot of architecture videos exist. I've been trying to experiment with it to rewrite my old projects using it.
What about buying? The buyer only has to really like the seller. And if they provide service generated by AI that is enough. The seller can eliminate lot of people that do actual work. And instead just have thin layer of prompters...

Edit: forgot to add GPS denied areas. Dead reckoning is really fucking hard when you’re blown about like a leaf in the wind.

What about the datalink? Max distance? Is there a video feed? Does each drone have an operator? If not, how do you know who is being targeted? War is ugly and messy, everything looks like the same shit on the battlefield.

Have you considered weather? Temperature can play a nasty role in drone mobility, not to mention wind. Oh, and they’re not quiet, at all.

Drones are as much of a pain as they can be effective. Everyone just assumes they “just work” and they really don’t.
Refactoring and related maintenance activities, like library/framework upgrades, are high risk and low immediate reward. In my experience, they're also one of the hardest overall software development tasks; large-scale refactors will end up touching a large percentage of existing code, and will require a ton of reading/understanding existing code to figure out what it does, as well as the domain knowledge to know what it should do. Often during refactoring I've found hairy bits of code which seem like they'll be intractable, until I stepped up a level and realized it's for a half-implemented feature that never got released, and can be completely removed.

If you try to measure it on an incremental level, refactoring is never worth it. Your code changes can and will cause unexpected bugs; customers get no perceivable value; it's engineering time not spent on revenue-generating features, and per the previous paragraph, you should be getting your best engineers doing large refactors. But if you look at it across a longer horizon, it makes a massive difference in the maintainability of your codebase. It's like cutting out 300 calories/day from your diet; you won't notice a difference if you weigh yourself on two consecutive days, but if you do it for 6 months it has a noticeable impact.
So expensive.

Are they still making F18s and F16s?

No, I mean even if you had (perfect, non-approximated) Solomonoff induction, you could only generate probabilities for computable "theories" (programs that predict all your past and future input), but I suppose it's possible that the impossibility proofs actually depend in some way on Aleph 1, so you would need it for consistency.
Was building hackintosh' since 2011, mostly intel based, my i3 h370 is still working strong. I was running macOS till the "M" series came out and the next day i swapped it out. Gifted the hackintosh' to my desinger friend. I do miss the days when i had time to figure out each and every bit of things needed. Nowadays, i am running windows.

Edit: Left building hackintosh' in 2019 before covid hit. Been building them for friend and family.

Shameful, but what do you propose?
That strategy is something the heart of "agile development." Ensure you can do a little bit and then walk away and work on something else while still having delivered some value.

A crux though for "big refactoring project" - first, that is kinda misnomer. It's not refactoring, it's re-architecture. Second, a number of refactorings can make things worse before they are better. For example, fixing bad abstractions, sometimes the first step is to inline stuff and copy/paste the abstractions to first "flatten the code" before restructuring it. That re-flattening step can lead to worse code, but it's in a place where it can be then made better (one step back to enable three steps forward)
I used a 12" Macbook as my main development machine. It ran IntelliJ with Python/Django applications, Postgres & Redis running in parallel (along with Safari, Mail, etc) around 2018-2020 just fine.

Tried it somewhat recently around Ventura and the machine clearly appeared to be struggling with the OS alone. So we had a machine that used to be capable of actual, productive work, and is now seemingly struggling at idle? It doesn't look like the new OS brought anything new or useful to the table (besides copious amounts of whitespace) either.
You mean you don't want Candy Crush Saga advertised at you in the start menu? Inconceeeeeivable.
Not really true.

You are asking that humans perceived red as blue, but I can imagine red things as blue.

But if you did not perceive things as red, how would you know to relabel them as blue.

The robot in this case would undergo the same operation when relabeling. It first has to perceive red, relabel to blue. No major difference unless you swap at hardware level which would be analogous to genetically engineering our eye cones to fire at altered wavelengths
If you could, you could use that procedure to create a mapping

1 => first step in the procedure
2 => second step

That in turn would mean that N and R have the same cardinality. This would be news.
Certain people believe that any change whatsoever in how things work is an evil plot by mysterious globalists to turn them into slaves.

Corrosive culture ultimately undoes a business when it encounters hard times. Musk appears to have lacked honorable and decent business leader role models on how to transition from initial startup success to an enduring business that can retain good talent long-term.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about unless you're meaning about immigrating with more than 10,000€ worth of physical currency? I went through immigrating to EU recently and the declaration was as simple as signing a statement that I am able to show records of how I got the money if required by the country I was moving to, and one of the examples was as simple as bank statements showing you had an income that supported you having such money.

I don't think you're talking about this, so maybe you can link to a government site with the relevant law you're discussing? It's pretty trivial to demonstrate it in most cases, and I think even a paper ledger is enough for most situations.
> one power outage away from food riots

Tell us more about this scenario. You’re positing a situation where due to an inability to accept cashless payments, supermarkets refuse to sell food to people for an extended period, leading to mass unrest? In the UK?

The UK power grid is remarkably resilient. To the extent that a half hour long power outage in London over 20 years ago is considered notable enough to deserve a Wikipedia article [1]

An extended power outage affecting access to payment capabilities across a large region would be an emergency but it wouldn’t collapse civilization. There’s little reason to suspect people would not find some way to transact while power is restored.

In Oregon we have “community” telcos that have been installing high speed internet in rural areas for decades, and continue to do so[1]. The service/tech provided by these companies is far better and cheaper than the national/large ones. This works well enough that I’ve seriously considered starting one to serve the ~100 homes in my areas that are an ignored island in a sea of fiber around us.

there's been plenty of catastrophic agriculture events caused by climate change already, they've just been smoothed out by global trade (for now at least, I don't know how resilient it will continue to be)
Robots can operate at the level of spectra (spectrophotometry) rather than color (projections of spectra, colorimetry). The mapping from the spectral power distribution to color co-ordinates for a given species is well understood and not arbitrary. The mapping from those co-ordinates (colors) to their names is also not arbitrary.

The only issue I can think of that would cause confusion, which has nothing to do with AI, is metamerism, which is when different spectra are perceived to be the same color, because information gets lost when the infinite-dimensional spectrum is projected down to three dimensional color. In practice it is not a problem; most people are not even aware of the phenomenon.

My gut says I would use query params though I typically stick with 1 action effects 1 record. I can't recall any specific times when I built bulk item management into an app but I'd say that's a personal preference on my end.

How does regulatory capture factor into this? This article is primarily about historical wages but does touch on wealth:

> If real per capita GDP goes to $10 million (in 2024 dollars), rich people aren’t going to think twice about shelling out $300 for a haircut or $2,000 for a doctor’s appointment. So wherever humans’ comparative advantage does happen to lie, it’s likely that in a society made super-rich by AI, it’ll be pretty well-paid.

The first chart of historical wealth trends shows the opposite: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-has-wealth-distribution-in...

Will there be enough "rich people [that] aren’t going to think twice about shelling out $300 for a haircut" to bouy wages and wealth?

That sounds like trickle down economics which has not been found to work that well (or so I have heard.)
It depends on your options for managing state. If you can build a largely stateless UI, that can update from the server via a form submission or query parameters, then it’s a big win, both in terms of your code complexity and the complexity of the team you need to build it. You can still have lots of widgets on your page and even fancy CSS transitions to make it feel like an SPA if you really want. But if you’re making something very highly interactive or canvas based, with complex stateful UI components and gestures, then you probably have nothing to gain.

Anywhere I could conceivably get away with HTMX over React I would (and tbh I’d launch with no JavaScript at all before that). But if you’ve got a massive React codebase then you’re already in quite deep, both codebase and team structure.

All that said, some really high level apps are moving to WASM anyway, so I don’t know that an investment in React is safe for the long term.
