Show HN: Genapi.co – from idea to production API in minutes
Hello HN,

I worked as a Software Engineer, DevOps, and SRE for 8+ years and I saw three things in every company:

- backend development takes weeks/months

- cloud spend is uncontrolled

- on-call is the pain for devops

I made a tool to help engineers like myself to avoid these issues and allow them to focus on new products, new features, monolith breakdown, and other tasks

I don't think a single one of these claims is true:

1. SQL is not mostly used as a compiler target these days.

2. ORMs do not hide SQL nastiness.

3. Relational calculus, however well-designed, does not manage to avoid the practical problems of data management.
For starters - many of the utilities charge more for daytime and "peak" usage hours in the TOU plans.

Which is also when they're overproducing solar and having to shed load.

But hey, no sense looking for logic here.
I don't think I do. It's the kind of retort I'd expect from a 12 year old who may not know better, but Musk is an adult. Calling someone a pedophile without proof is one of the worst things you can do to a person -- especially when you have a megaphone as large as Musk's.

If you think saying someone's offer of help was made in bad faith is as slanderous as saying someone is a pedophile, we'll never see eye to eye.
The Cruelty Is the Point[1]. There's a segment of US society who are not satisfied until the maximum amount of cruelty is applied to people they identify as their opponents. Prisoners (and ex-prisoners) are an easy target because they've already done something to "deserve" suffering, and few will argue to treat them kindly. So these people can vote to fire all of their cruelty at this class with no pushback. I don't really think at its core it's about "people feeling safe." The people pushing for these things simply want an "other" to suffer, and so they vote to create underclasses and legal ways to inflict this suffering. And they rejoice in it.

I used to live in Florida, but sadly the state has taken a sharp right turn recently, and has become this deranged laboratory where politicians experiment with innovative forms of cruelty. Really pushing the boundaries and finding out what they can legally inflict. I've long since escaped that place (and hopefully the few very vocal sadists who determine the state's politics), but it's sad to know I live in the same country as them.

Abstract: Individual differences in personality may be described at three different levels. Level I consists of those broad, de contextualized, and relatively non conditional constructs called “traits,” which provide a dispositional signature for personality description. No description of a person is adequate without trait attributions, but trait attributions themselves yield little beyond a “psychology of the stranger.” At Level II (called “personal concerns”), personality descriptions invoke personal strivings, life tasks, defense mechanisms, coping strategies, domain-specific skills and values, and a wide assortment of other motivational, developmental, or strategic constructs that are contextualized in time, place, or role. While dispositional traits and personal concerns appear to have near-universal applicability. Level III presents frameworks and constructs that may be uniquely relevant to adulthood only, and perhaps only within modern societies that put a premium on the individuation of the self. Thus, in contemporary Western societies, a full description of personality commonly requires a consideration of the extent to which a human life expresses unity and purpose, which are the hallmarks of identity. Identity in adulthood is an inner story of the self that integrates the reconstructed past, perceived present, and anticipated future to provide a life with unity, purpose, and meaning. At Level III, psychologists may explore the person's identity as an internalized and evolving life story. Each of the three levels has its own geography and requires its own indigenous nomenclatures, taxonomies, theories, frameworks, and laws.
It's great at straightforward boilerplate code, and I find it useful.

> Solution hits an edge case and eventually ChatGPT4 starts hitting a loop saying it has a new solution or it fixed something but it really didn't.

An infuriating subtype of this "loop" failure is when you point out a flaw, and it fixes it, but now there's a different flaw. You point that out, it fixes it, but now the original flaw is back again.
This isn't really correct. Blue Force had already repurposed it as an autonomous weapons system and it was originally developed as a sparring partner for fighter jets (it was far more capable than just being a target).

Canonical in particular has gravely committed this offense.

In an instance for one of their engineering positions, they requested ~40 hours worth of work via a combination of system administration, development in C/Golang, and uploading to a git server where they could review the work.

You’d have a point if you made this comment 15 years ago, but Russia invaded Ukraine 10 years ago. Around the same time, China started to make outlandish claims on the South China Sea.

You can make a lot of complaints about the defense industry like waste and corruption, but a lack of a clear objective is no longer an issue.

Great story. Wilkins and his language also feature in Stephenson’s “System of the World” books. The excellent book “In the land of invented languages” by Arika Okrent dedicates chapter 2 to Wilkins. I should point out, I didn’t go seeking information about Wilkins, but his language just seems to come up randomly for me.

Okrent’s book also has excellent introductions to Esperanto and Lojban. Lojban is a modern attempt to create a language without ambiguity. That turns out to be hard…speaking takes on some of the characteristics of writing a mathematical proof.

I was 45 when I had my first fiction published and I’ve published at least one story a year since then (although there have been years that it’s felt like I just barely met that goal). I think my MFA thesis advisor assigned Fitzgerald to me as a role model of a late-in-life writer (it’s amusing to think of my then-45-year-old self as “old” a decade later). But like Fitzgerald, it’s not like I wasn’t writing before. I’ve written my whole life and while I took multiple extended breaks from sending things out and I have notebooks full of unfinished stories, I still wrote and after really pushing myself back into writing (and more importantly, finishing) when I was coming up on 40 years old and subsequently pursuing an MFA to further polish my craft, I managed to get that first bit of external validation in the form of a published story (one which was paid, and in print). The seeking of validation is a bit brutal and soul-crushing (at best I’ve gotten 1 acceptance for 25 rejections, overall it’s more like 49 rejections for each acceptance), but as W. P. Kinsella said, it’s not the publishing that makes a writer, but the writing.

And a bit more apropos of the article, I’d add that to a large extent, I think that the 45 years of life leading up to my first publication were a big part of what made me able to write something worth publishing.
If advertising model is doomed (so far all the signs suggest otherwise), wouldn’t “big tech” just adjust models? What makes you think they just go away?

And that’s for “honest” content… the internet is filled with disinformation and people trying to spread conspiracies, recruit for X, or otherwise mass influence the entire population.

How a decentralized Bitcoin based model magically get us amazing content, something people want to use, and minimization of negative forces? Why is technology the key issue?

That's not a good definition, since a CPU or a DSP would count as a GPU. Both have been used for such purpose in the past.

The issue is not their existence, it about calling them GPUs when they have no graphics functionality.

it was important at the time of the original RISC as anything that could not be handled by the single-cycle execution stage would significantly increase the complexity of the pipeline.

Today pipelines are orders of magnitude more complex than the original RISC, so it doesn't really matter.
Batteries managed by individual users will never replace big infra. They are simply not resilient enough.

This kind of logic is akin to saying mesh networks are all we need to deliver reliable internet to everyone. No, CTTH, FTTH or satellite is what we need to deliver reliable internet to everyone, and those require big infra.

Furthermore, to a point in the article that folks on Ars are spouting, if everyone is charging during off-peak hours, then those aren't off-peak any more. They're now on-peak hours.

Grids are required to deliver steady reliable power even under peak usage. 10x is likely an underestimation of how much extra capacity we will need if everyone switches to EVs.

So what's this fundamental value that I'm not understanding? I think Bitcoin has some limited fundamental value by the way.

Be specific, it seems like you're deliberately vague because you don't have a strong argument. (And I think I know what's the argument.)
> Argument 3 I find difficult to understand. Misinformation has existed for a long time, and AI is just one more way of making it (perhaps at scale). You've always been able to claim that your political opponent was a puppy murderer with no basis in reality - the way I see things, AI is just a way of laundering that kind of claim.

As someone who is neutral or leaning slightly positive on AI in general, I think misinformation is the biggest cause of concern. The change in scale is worth some concern I think. The ability to gather nearly unlimited information about people and then use that information to generate _bespoke_ propaganda designed to optimally persuade them is a significant shift from the days where a propaganda campaign required a team of experts and a long time to prepare. In that works a targeted propaganda campaign was only reasonable for very high value targets. Now, it can be used for everything from selling pants to convincing people to overthrow their governments. The commoditization of information warfare.

I feel that in the older sense of tragedy, Shakesperian or Homerian, the inevitability of fortune is part of the tragedy - we, the audience, can see it in retrospect, but those involved find themselves unable to see or avert it. But this is after all just language.

> 3) designing and implementing CISC is difficult and takes long time — that's true... but designing and implementing a highly performant RISC is also quite difficult and takes a long time, and today the difference is mainly in the decoding stage: after it, its all RISC-like microinstructions in either case;

You are massively understating this. Tenstorrent has ~280 people. They are working on 2-3 CPU designs, 2-3 AI accelerators, all the IO stuff, etc. A decent percentage of these people will have to be dedicated to testing, marketing, HR, finances, legal, etc. Jim Keller projects their 8-wide Ascalon to be competitive with the upcoming Zen5 core.

I'll guarantee you that the Zen 5 core has way more than 280 people working on it. Even if Ascalon were just 70% of the performance of Zen 5, that would put it around Zen 2 performance and that core also required hundreds to thousands of people.

This is an R&D economic disparity that cannot be sustained.

This isn't limited to Tenstorrent either, Nuvia had around 300 people when it was acquired and the Qualcomm Oryon also seems to be competitive with x86 for a fraction of the R&D cost.
I never understand why streaming services that work on subscription push some content over others. I would think if they have a monthly subscriber they wouldn't care what that subscriber is streaming as long as they are streaming.

I find this especially bad with video streaming where a service has a great library but only promotes about 30 titles all categorized under different genres.

I suppose they save on bandwidth if they can get everyone to just stream the same titles.
Yeah, my first comment already mentioned that it’s a trade war. It’s fair since our social media companies have been unable to operate in China’s domestic market for decades. It’s still banned. It’s that simple.

Also Tiktok is directly owned by the CCP. It’s barely a private company, so national security concerns are justified.
One thing here that I disagree with is that there is a major difference between things that you know cold and things that you need to refer to external memory to refresh your recollection. Studying something closely and repetitiously enough to know it by heart makes the knowledge more useful. It also provides you with a sort of navigational buoy or pylon that acts as a referent for other important pieces of knowledge.

Mass media (electronic media in particular) tends to encourage the user to seek many shallow impressions that do not always leave deep and permanent marks. So, any single impression doesn't leave a big mark or define your character. But deeper study into a single topic or work does have a profound effect on who you are.

Well, no, that's not quite right. Even though we nominalize the concept of 'freedoms' as something that we have (making it possible to conceptualize there being people who don't have them), the actual legal framework in place operationalizes these freedoms as restrictions on the exercise of political power, without qualification.

In other words "freedom of speech" means that Congress doesn't have the power to pass laws that suppress speech itself, regardless of where it comes from. It's not that the first amendment applies to some people (and certainly not that it doesn't apply to others), but that it applies to Congress and limits what laws they can pass without qualification.
During the pandemic, I thought that the people who were generally against caring about Covid were mostly faking it. I thought “ok, you’re not old or immunocompromised — you think that if you catch it, it will be like a bad cold but you’ll survive”.

Then the vaccine came out, and so did the conspiracy theories. Even if I didn’t agree with these theories, I could at least see where the people who believed them might be coming from. It wouldn’t be the first time in human history that a government misled their own population for dubious purposes. It was conceivably possible that there are unknown, long-term effects of such a novel vaccine. But everything involves risk and my personal priors led to the view that not taking the vaccine was a much higher risk to myself and others.

But then some close relatives that I respect and consider highly intelligent told me they didn’t trust the vaccine and took ivermectin instead. What. It’s a bit of an understatement to say that my internal model of human psychology fell apart right then.

I’m quite sure at this point that if an asteroid were headed toward earth, there would be a sizable portion of the population who refuses to believe any evidence whatsoever and denies an asteroid is coming right up until the very end.

It’s a similar case with AGI. I don’t think undeniable evidence that “it’s coming” is there yet, but if/when it is, there are going to be holdouts who refuse to believe what’s happening and may actually be incapable of believing what’s happening. It’s so far beyond their mental model of how reality works that the brain just kind of segfaults and rejects it—“I don’t want this to happen, therefore it cannot.”

> I don't think any investors are applauding the mismanagement at Boeing

Even with everything going on Boeing’s stock price is higher than it was ten years ago. Five years ago it was 4x, I’m sure it’ll recover a good amount from today’s number.

My cynical take is that a lot of investors don’t see what Boeing is doing as mismanagement. They’re in a hugely enviable market position: only one competitor that can’t scale quickly, customers are captive. Boeing management moved to reduce costs (i.e. get rid of expensive unionized workers) while still churning out a large number of planes: success. Some people have died as a result of that, sure, but did you see those profit and loss numbers? Wow-eee.

A year from now Boeing’s stock price will have rallied and they’ll continue on. Maybe an exec or two will take a golden parachute for PR purposes but it won’t mean anything.
