Yes. The old heuristics of if something is generated by grammar and sentence structure don't work as well anymore.
The thing that fucks me up the most about it is that I now constantly have to be uncertain about whether something is human or not. Of course, you've always had to be careful about misinformation on the internet, but this raises the scalability of false, hollow, and harmful output to new levels. Especially if it's a topic I'm trying to learn about by reading random articles (or comments), there isn't much of a frame of reference to what's good info and what's hallucinated garbage.

I fear that at some point the anonymity that made the internet great in the first place will be destroyed by this.
I tried to make ChatGPT generate a counterpoint for that but it turns out you're right.

Suggesting what? That people live longer? That is a modern myth. Socrates died in his 80s. The average lifespan being low was because so many children died. People have been living 70-90 years for thousands of years, likely longer.
No problem, I'm here to keep the language sophistication level low.
> Do you remember when they teased GPT-2 as "too dangerous" for public access? I do.

Maybe not GPT-2, but in general LLMs and other generative AI types aren't without their downsides.

From companies looking to downsize their staff to replace them with software, to the work of artists/writers being devalued somewhat, to even easier scams and something like the rise of AI girlfriends, which has also gotten some critique, some of those can probably be a net negative.

Even when it's not pearl clutching over the advancements in technology and the social changes that arise, I do wonder how much my own development work will be devalued due to the somewhat lowered entry barrier into the industry and people looking for quick cash, same as with boot camps leading to more saturation. Probably not my position individually (not exactly entry level), but the market as a whole.

It's kind of at a point where I use LLMs for dev work not to fall behind, cause the productivity gains for simple problems and boilerplate are hard to argue with.

Having a type system wasn't really the goal here (there's enough great tools that handle that), but there's plenty of options that could work for you, if you're willing to build it. Some quick ideas:

1. You could add a jsdoc comment per component, let your tool read it and treat it as the source of truth
2. The template is just a js file, so you could parse it, get the params of the fn and try to deduce the types based on the usage
3. You could use typescript and export types
4. Serialize/normalize data before passing to the templating engine

Ouch, you've just triggered the die-hard nuclear energy fans on HN. I've seen countless debates on this topic.

The first thing that will be mentioned is that Chernobyl is an absolut outlier, an event that can never ever happen again or is so unlikely to happen again that it basically equals never in practice.

The second point typically raised is that Chernobyl wasn't as catastrophic as the public remembers. Despite the fact that a significant number of the 600k liquidators who worked on the cleanup received radiation doses that resulted in cancer one or two decades later with a statistical much higher chance, when compared to the overall population.

Then, they will argue that while green energy is beneficial, we need a combination of energy sources due to storage challenges. They often cite France as a perfect example, highlighting its successful use of nuclear energy alongside renewable sources.

As someone who does YT videos as a challenge to self: YouTube is a casino, so its "top creators" are as ephemeral as a casino's patrons.

Financially it is a very solid model, and it's stable: you don't have to even try to attempt producing "content that sells", you just skim your margin off of everything. And, as per the natural order, given enough creators there will always be "top creators".

There are no secrets nor weapons here. It's the moat of scale and the casino model.
Me and my wife also wanted to eliminate corridors as much as possible when we designed and discussed our house with an architect few years ago. Because of the property constraints and our other requirements about all of rooms we abandoned the idea of eliminating corridors and ended up with one long corridor through the middle of the house. After living in the house now for a few weeks we have no regrets - our son can run and ride in the corridor in the way he would not be able to otherwise and we found a way to decorate it that is quite pleasing. I am not saying that someone may be able to architect the house in other way to better use "wasted space" as you put it but we are very happy with our decision.
Well exactly. The idea is not remotely the hard part. That's pretty much common knowledge at this point.

Dependency on dispatchable power does not imply solely Base load continuous generation. Pumped hydro, wind and solar overbuild and batteries are capable of supplying the burden.

The objection to overbuild and storage is economic more than innately about turbines.

Dispatchable and Base load are classic models of nuclear advocacy which are fine, but not unanswerable.

Wikipedia thinks its the same language:

"The original name SEQUEL, which is widely regarded as a pun on QUEL, the query language of Ingres,[14] was later changed to SQL (dropping the vowels) because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.[15] The label SQL later became the acronym for Structured Query Language."

Indeed, reading through the paper, I think it's too similar to modern SQL to be considered a different language.

> There are no secrets nor weapons here. It's the moat of scale and the casino model.

I mean, there are three ways to grow a skim-a-comission business model.

You can engage and support the super-stars, you can engage and support the creators lower down on the totem pole, or you can do something in between.

One of these three models may be more successful for the platform than the other two, and an actual unbiased analysis of why it is would be interesting.

This is such a Hollywood take. YouTube’s “bottom creators” are its real advantage, the long tail of videos about air fryer repairs and make up tutorials.

Any studio can go out and buy content from big creators, but only YouTube has the ability to aggregate millions of independent content creators.

One of the rooks might move over to the other side during the course of the game, and then it's no longer unambiguous which one is the castling rook.

E.g., if you have your king on e1, a rook on f1 and another one on g1… can you castle if the f1 rook moves? Can you castle if the g1 rook moves? Just “kingside” won't tell you the difference.

I think that's pretty much what the business model grew into and is now cultivated and enforced. There is no Macbook convenient for consumption and no tablet convenient for processing. Either one can do both, but it's cumbersome.

Apple knows they can get their target group to buy both products, so they take care to keep those territories isolated.

And that's also revealing the general handicap the iPad Pro has: It is a product designed to close this gap, running on a OS designed to consciously maintain this gap.
The problem with motorola winning the 80s was that no matter what they did, they were facing the same problem in the 90s, the 88k was going to flop hard. And early PowerPC would still have been 'so so' compared to the Pentium and onwards.

That said, would the Pentium have happened without the PC industry - everything up to the 486 would likely have continued to develop as it did, even without the PC as they were strong embedded chips too.
“You haven’t done anything productive for 15 minutes. Are you taking an unauthorized break?”
I mean technically it still isn’t ambiguous because you could just refer to the starting position to see which rook is allowed to move.

Which of course is annoying to implement, but you do already have to keep state on the history of the game to determine if moves are legal, e.g. you can’t castle twice.
I'm not sure about this but I think pseudonymization is fine from GDPR perspective, you are effectively forgotten, but not your writings.
Not launched, but building open source components and mucroservices with a closed dashboard and overall backend.

For instance, a Git-like DAG for a config service [1] that supports history and eventually forking and merging on top of PostgreSQL. This was broken out of the larger Go codebase and is currently AGPL3 as a placeholder while I research better licenses to use.

The overall idea is the "nuts and bolts" of a small startup/SaaS app, including metrics, IAM/auth, and subscriptions via a single API and React/JS SDKs.

I hope to do a Show HN on one or both in the near future.

I don't know much about compiler development, but this seems pretty high level to me. Why would I not just compile to C and get almost all the same benefits, except it being small and hackable, but TCC is that too. And if you compile to C you can target even more architectures.
But let’s not forget a while ago a story was posted about Google being _the_ company with most middle managers doing pretty much nothing.

But individual contributors get fired. And then the shitshow happens.
I work on a code base dating back to 2000. First years, the change log was kept at the top of the file, in a comment. Commit comments were automatically inserted into the file by a "$Log" directive (CVS). The first 200 lines are just 20 year old commit log entries, none of them providing any valuable information ("minor changes", "changed XYZ to be consistent with spec", "reenable reporting"). So much cargo culting.

It's weird that they don't mention MrBeast, who has been consistently dominating the YouTube meta for the last few years. He's on his way towards becoming the most subscribed to creator on the platform and each of his videos consistently gets more views than the Superbowl.

I think the thing that sets YouTube apart from other platforms is that creators can start monetizing content early on and continue growing the channel and audience. No other platform has come even close to matching the monetization potential on YouTube.
This is one of the most mind-boggling parts of Apple’s mobile OS. Why are they allowing apps to jail unrelated parts of the mobile experience? They’re so strict, yet they allow completely unnecessary web views. Photos galleries are another incredibly painful point. Every app thinks they can reinvent the photo picker, for absolutely no reason.

Rein them in please Apple.
Show HN: Non-technical founders, build your startup
Hi HN,

I've came across the mantra that if you're not technical you won't succeed as a tech startup.

Well I'd say that's far from the truth. Many examples show us the opposite, and as development becomes more accessible we'll be seeing more of that.

Recently I've been working on a solution aimed at people who want to get their product built and wanted to share it here.

It's got 5 spots available now.

> Instructional techniques that promote the most learning in experts, promote the least learning in beginners, and vice versa. This is known as the expertise reversal effect[0]. An important consequence is that effective methods of practice for students typically should not emulate what experts do in the professional workplace (e.g., working in groups to solve open-ended problems).

Does this also go for programming? Is this an argument for learning academic stuff in academia and not just hands-on vocational group projects?

If the history of content platforms on the internet has taught me anything, people saying a platform has won is a sure sign it will become largely irrelevant to the next generation of users.
I think there's a bit of both...

At some point YouTube transcends what it was originally - the internet in video from - and becomes something more. It then exists in the space of "TV" or general distraction. It becomes a household name and at the point it needs to keep things ticking over by investing in things like Brand and Mindshare.

And then just like how Coca Cola and McDonald's only care about sponsoring the Olympics, YouTube also needs to find ways to chase after that above the fold streamers who they can positively associate with like Mr Beast.

But what am I even talking about... this is the platform that gave us Jake Paul.

I have such a love/hate relationship with YouTube. Only on YouTube are all of MITs lecture courses. if. you. can. only. fight. past. the. endless. Shorts...

Not sure if the first paragraph boasts the pros or the cos of this

It's one thing to market implementations done in unusual ways with the intent of exploring the possible. It's another to portray software implemented with the right technologies as : bloat, silly animations, slick interactivity to trip up your gameplay.

It doesn't help that the second paragraph showcases shortcoming of this kind if implementation.

It could all just be sarcastic and I fell for your trap.

I detest this take so very much. It's as if people have forgotten that laptops were perfectly capable for that most loathesome of words, "consumption", for eons, thank you very much.

I'm of the opinion that nuclear is done for due to economical reasons, but yes, Chernobyl is very not relevant to any discussion of modern nuclear power.

Chernobyl only happened due to the way that particular reactor type was made, and even back then nobody but the USSR did it that way, and the accident ensured nobody else ever did. Its failure mode is not inherent to nuclear but specific to the RBMK design.

This new design has nothing to do with the RBMK.

Honestly, it' crazy how limited the iPad still is in this day and age. I was hoping for them to add a terminal and improve the files app.

But I already gave up on it especially after the recent comments from Apple as they want people to buy both devices to 'complement' each other: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/13/apple-vp-mac-ipad-compl...

I own an M1 iPad Pro but 80% of the time I use it as a sidecar due to how limited it is.
And the fourth way is to "not stand in the way", which is the long-term best strategy. It's all fun and profit to support you top/mid/low creators until a controversy, which is inevitable long-term, and damage to reputation at the very least.

Meanwhile money and energy _is being_ spent at things like "change the title and thumbnail after initial drop to give a second chance at eyeball capture" and "shorts! shorts! shorts!".

Note: I am critical of YouTube, but I _do pay_ for Premium, because it's still the platform that enabled the content I do care about to even exist in the first place. Nothing ever has only a single-side to it.
No, it is telling people "if you want a computer then get a computer". Perhaps one reason iPad is so insanely successful and a pleasure to use (compared to dex etc) is that it's specifically not one. Connect the dots.
