Sure but if you make a video tag, it’s nice that the controls are just there, without having to code them yourself.

Shadow DOM is how browser vendors implemented that. They could’ve also said “this is internal magic” but instead they made it a standard so other people can use it too.
The existence of digital & the Internet doesn’t stop people from printing books, photos or making other things IRL because physical artifacts matter. I like to be able to read a physical book, to lend or gift it later, to keep it on a shelf as a visual reminder about something, etc.; incidentally, seeing someone in the wild reading a book I know is awesome (even when it’s not used to start a conversation).

I don’t write books but I like to see my own photos printed (and buy others’ photobooks) for a similar reason. It’s less expensive to not print, but then it’s less expensive to not buy the camera in the first place, and at the extreme to not live at all I suppose.

The general answer to the question “why do people still print books when we have Web?” is “same reason do people do things anyway”.

***

Another answer (that applies in a narrower range of cases) is that sometimes you don’t want to make your art available to everyone. If you have a physical object, you can control its distribution for a while, you give it to friends who want it and appreciate your art and you feel good about it. Whereas once it’s out there on the Web, your work goes fully outside of your control. What uses will they put it to? The only thing you can be sure about these days is that it would be scraped and acquired for ML training purposes (and that is, again, far from what every original author would desire, believe it or not).

I saw a scheme where you make domains and pages like "london best plumber .co.uk" or top london plumber. Then pick a guy to put on it. Put his phone there. Call in a few days and show him the page. He will say thank you and that you have already doubled his business. He will begin to pay you 100 a month to stay as your top pick. He will also pay for a redesign of his existing company website. You will also host the new site you just redesigned and generate recurring passive hosting revenue. You are welcome. My pleasure.
How do you lower risks of adding and removing feature if you need to not only need to add/remove the feature but also decide which service it goes in, set up coordination, and manage networks between the services? That's more work, and more surface area.
Well burning letters is a difficult thing, because often there is not a suitable place for it.
I worked in a Bay area co-working incubator type place a few years ago. Everyone lol'd that I was self taught and went with a namecheap shared hosting, PHP, and jquery. What about AWS or Google cloud at least? What about node? What about some fancy front end framework (I forget their names as theres like 5 and they're all the same yet all different).

I saw several people drawn in their own tech stack drama, almost never creating a product.

I put some PHP together and have 34 companies paying.

It's a mess but I'd say that's more because it was my first real project, not because of php and jquery itself.
I mean, can’t you decouple your modules inside a monolith just as well, if what you’re looking is to mitigate the risk of removing features?

I would actually put it exactly the other way round.

If you don't have a crystallized architecture yet, prototyping with a monolith is faster. You don't have to make the cuts (this belongs to this service) which are expensive to change later (unlike moving classes between modules).

Doing internal Java/.NET/whatever interfaces is easier than introducing external API (and associated infrastructure complexity, authorization, routing...), they are much easier to tweak. You have transactions, don't have to deal with a lot of asynchronicity, network overhead etc. For a prototype, I'd always rather do a monolith.

It's funny .. earlier today there was a front page HN post about the federal government mandating safer circular saws. It seemed like the majority of users in the thread were in favor of the federal government mandating technology changes to prevent harm from being done to the population.

Now for this issue, there's harm being done to children, and the majority of users in the thread seem to be against government intervention; you say: "well if you don't like it, if you think it's negative, just don't use it, don't let your kids use it".

Kind of a random parallel to draw between the two stories, but it's funny the same logic doesn't seem to apply in both cases. Why wasn't for circular saws the response "if you think they're dangerous, don't use them" or "just keep your kids away from them"?
Very impressive, as always from bunnie. The background/introduction post [1] is informative for people like me who haven't kept up. Basically he has invented (as far as I understand?) the "IRIS" technique to inspect chips that are still packaged.

This should make it easier to look "under the hood" of system-on-chips and such, to see if there perhaps are units that are unaccounted for. If someone knows more about the motivation/goals with the research that would be interesting to have further explained than the post(s).

This post is about the lighting needs the imaging requires, and the very detailed design of a mechanized light source positioning system.

Ray Dalio exactly answers your first question in this video(45m): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TKMw8

The short answer is war, likely with China.

The long answer is civil unrest. Billionaires who feel threatened by people who want to re-distribute wealth (tax the wealthy), use their wealth to put "strongmen" into power to defend their interest. Strongmen destroy innovation which weakens the military, which invites enemies to challenge your strength. If the world feels that the value of your currency is under threat (and if you are at risk of losing a war, it is under threat), you lose reserve currency status, which means all of a sudden you can no longer import the goods your economy needs to function, then your economy and/or currency collapses.

> What should the layperson (US & non-US residents) do to safeguard against it?

The only way out of this is to produce more value than we spend and to tax billionaires (not for the money, but to decrease their ability to buy government influence).

We are pretty doomed until our aristocracy decides to start being responsible instead of greedy, which is unlikely.

You could also move to New Zealand. That's the plan that many of our greedy billionaires have when the consequences of their greed are fully realized... Just like a "senior" engineer writing really complex code might leave to another company when it's time to pay the maintenance cost for that complexity.

The reason why communism is always associated with authoritarianism is mainly the process by which it is introduced: it is impossible that all citizens agree that a state becomes communist so it has to be introduced by force. And once you get this power over the lives of all your citizens, you don't want to give it back (which also makes sense because they could overthrow communism).

The only societies where communism works without authoritarianism are communes like the Longo Maï where people come by choice, not by force.

The word wasn't "shy", they were "less social".

Hide in room, grunt when asked questions, moody, "disrespectful to their elders", that kind of thing is all "less social".

Although I can think of one specific context where I would say "shy" for a bit: suddenly developing a new axis of emotional drives (lust) that they have to learn to navigate socially.

Yesterday after iOS upgrade i was pleasantly surprised by popup asking me what browser i would like to use. I picked Safari anyways, but it felt good. Thank you EU.

I know now that if i change my mind i can go to settings and pick any other browser.

And not thank you Apple because this is not the case in non EU countries and not the case for iPad, because EU did not classified ipads same way as iphones and Apple Inc took advantage of this instead of unifying user experience.
Hi Ted, since I have been using GPT 4 pretty much every day, I have a few questions about the performance, We had been using 1106 preview for several months to generate SQL queries for a project, but one fine day in February, it stopped responding and it used to respond like so "As a language model, I do not have the ability to generate queries etc...". This lasted for a few hours. Anyway, switching to 0125-preview which helped us immediately resolve the problem. We have been using that for whenever we have code generation related tasks unless we are doing FAQ stuff (where GPT 3.5 Turbo was good enough).

However, off late, I am noticing some really inconsistent behaviours in 0125-preview where it responds inconsistently for certain problems, ie one time it works with a detailed prompt and other time it doesn't. I know these models are predicting the next most likely token which is not always deterministic.

So I was hoping for the ability to fine tune GPT 4 Turbo some time soon. Is that on the roadmap for Open AI?

There are even more reasons to use a monolith, or to simply use a service oriented architecture.

Probably not necessary to repeat here, but microservices add a lot of complexity due to asynchronicity, limited interfaces, and more complex error handling.

Last time I checked, a kid in a car can't download an assignment they forgot to bring, check their grades, or submit an assignment electronically, to a school computer when away from school at a friends house, a second parents house, or on a trip a family trip, without a mobile device.

Many people are more mobile now.

And schools are increasingly supporting remote access and activities. It is especially fantastic for multi-home families where whatever a kids needs is often somewhere else.

This phrase is used a lot, but I seldom find it persuasive.

We survived without tools that didn't exist in large part because they didn't exist for other people too.

I can't imagine this would violate zoning laws if the employer did it and declared it it as a temporary structure for construction staff. And the expense wouldn't have raised an eyebrow for the agency reviewing the construction contract. Maybe some permitting laws - should someone have signed off on the kitchenette being properly vented, etc.

This is an employee slacking off to build a side project that will be owned by to the company, but mostly has value for himself. Which wouldn't normally be a criminal matter, but the laws are (correctly) stricter about doing this kind of thing with public funds.

Thanks for this, I enjoyed it. Just as a point of constructive criticism, I would say that you might want to go into some more detail on some of the pieces like how the linker script works, or how you are assembling your asm file. I took a look at the repo and figured it out pretty quickly, but I think a beginner would be pretty lost in some of those details.

Also, your buddy allocator fills me with shame. I didn't think of doing it that way when I wrote the physical memory allocator for my hobby OS, and my algorithm is way slow to initialize as a result of how I did it. I'm thinking I might have to go and revisit my allocator.
We cannot just ban social media platforms that we don't like for one reason or the other. What we can do is regulate products and markets. Consumer rights is one of the things governments should really care about.

Make sure our food is safe, our water clean and that our cars and bikes are reasonably safe to use. The same goes for products distributed online. The governments around the world has been dragging their feet for decades (probably in no small part to bigtech lobbyist doing a good job) and we are now suffering the consequences.

The European Union has been upping their game recently, with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Digital Services Act (DSA), which are regulatory frameworks meant to curb the dominance of large tech companies (gatekeepers) and their malpractices. Instead of outright banning a specific platform or app, they ask companies to adhere to some sensible (from the consumers perspective) standards:

- Provide data access and portability

- Require interoperability to facilitate competition and innovation

- Transparency of algorithms, moderation, advertising etc.

On top of that, big actors have to ensure protection of consumers data (GDPR) and are required not to store more data than necessary. Having these, and more, frameworks in place, makes it possible to crack down on harmful actors from a more principled place. Most of these regulatory components are quite new and barely implemented, but I look forward to seeing them being used more over the next few years.

Facebook already knows how old its users are with a great degree of accuracy. The block does not have to be perfect to be effective at a societal level. Some curious kids may circumvent it. But it would prevent the massive network effect whereby all teen social life is online on platforms that monetize them.
