Show HN: Simplicity Builder:drag and drop builder web component, all frameworks
I have been working on this drag and drop builder web component to satisfy my own requirements of having a general purpose drag and drop builder that I could use in various projects that I am working on.

The component lets you turn any HTML into a drag and drop builder via configuration files.

There is a version that can be used with vanilla JavaScript as well as wrapped versions for Vue, React and Angular. The base version that works with Vanilla JavaScript can in theory work with any framework.

It is a version one project. I am working on putting some better demos together and some basic changes to where menus and setting dialogs can show up, etc.

The website requires an email address (but no credit card information) to get a free trial dev key. However, in the spirit of Show HN posts here is a trial dev key you can use: DFB7GDG8852

I will update the trial dev code a few times in this thread. Also, if you want to contact me you can email me at mike@simplicitywebtools.com

I would love any feedback. Thank you.

That’s not entirely true - aliases to AWS resources are free (their suggested “workaround”).
> which are typically INT8

These systems are used for training which is VERY rarely INT8. On Frontier, for example, it's recommended to use bfloat16 or float32 if that doesn't work for you/your application.

Nvidia has FP8 with >=Hopper and supposedly AMD MI300 has it as well although I have no experience with the MI300 so I can't speak to that.
> I share my frustrations because I care about the platform and want it to get better.

Caring about someone else’s platform - especially when you care about it more than the people who have control over it - is not where you want to be.
> but any sane security policy will have certificates that expire and that in turn means that in a couple years your build environment won't be reproducible anymore.

"Reproducible" is usually defined as "identical output except for the cryptographic signature at the end" (and that should be the only use for a certificate in your build environment, a high-quality build environment should be self-contained and have no network access). That is, once you remove the signature, the built artifacts should be bit-by-bit identical.
That's pretty impressive already, iirc LLVM-based Clasp is ~40 times slower than SBCL.
Right, I didn't know it was possible to bypass full channels like that with select/default. Thanks for spelling it out
Except for the iPad Pro (which has no fans), and the iPhone Pro (which has no fans), and the AirPods Pro (which also does not have any fans).

"Pro" meaning "has active cooling" only works on 3 out of the 6 things currently labeled "Pro".
Even if a cure isn't likely this is still exciting.

The extra parenthetical is very much clickbait. The doctor received surgery and care from other doctors using a protocol developed in an institute he helps helm. That's quite different than saying he treated himself.

Everything you said is correct, in theory. In practice, however...
He asked what is significant about 1 exascale that it's a "barrier".

Now granted, the original rendition of this saying ("Breaking the sound barrier.") is also arbitrary because mach 1 is the speed of sound travelling through air on planet Earth, it's still a valid question that you did not answer.
What are you searching for? I see people complaining about this a lot but they never give examples. Google is chock full of spam, yes, but it still works for me.
Thanks Shayon!!! Very kind of you :)
Not at all. Individual particles have half-lives, they can be each measured to decay. Their having this property follows from QM, it doesnt not follow from population statistics.

We only know that population measures correspond to individual properties because of a highly robust independent theory. In general, almost no ensemble statistics of non-trivial non-experimental phemenomna will work this way. This assumption is called, in statistics, the ecological fallacy.

Applying this assumption that a statistics of surface data of complex systems is like physics is pseudoscience. It's funny, indeed, that you use statistics of particles whose behaviour here is absurdly simple. It is this very assumption which is pseudoscience when applied in general.

My semantics are entirely correct.
8/16GB iPad Pros have 40Wh batteries. 8/16/24GB M3 MacBook Airs have 49-52Wh batteries. Don’t be melodramatic.

It makes a lot more sense when you consider copying from a document then pasting in another location. If you copy a header you want it to stay a header, if you copy coloured text you may expect it to be coloured.

It makes a lot less sense when pasting from other locations. Especially if for example you copy one sentence of a webpage that uses a specific font throughout, you are likely not expecting that font to be preserved, you weren't even thinking about it.

So probably they went for consistency, which ended up being the wrong choice. At the end of the day there are cases for both. Adding heuristics all day ends up confusing for the user so picking a default is hard.

What benefits will open source give you? Just keep it closed if you don’t have a good answer.
At least with Linux Desktop one can hack their way to a very customized experience of their liking running whatever software they wants.

On iPad? Nope.
Statistical mechanics follows more closely from real properties of individual particles. The ensemble effects, via enough randomization, can be quantified from indviidual to macro properties.

Temperature isnt, in this sense, an epiphenomnon.
Right, it depends I guess. I was more thinking how restaurants are legally obligated to provide free (potable) water, not sure how much this is an incentive for them to have their tap water potable ? (And I guess they already need to have potable-after-boiling water anyway just to be able to cook ?)
So the components are all imported from China, then assembled in Mexico. Maybe that's an improvement, and it keeps Chinese brands from establishing themselves, but does it really matter?
BTW, I would be happy if iPad OS at least exposed its hypervisor for applications, so UTM (https://docs.getutm.app/installation/ios/) would be useful in a non-jailbroken device.

But not even that, you are limited to using JIT unless you have a jailbroken device (or outdated versions of iOS).
The ready-to-use is only true for the most popular software like PostgreSQL. Anything else is often broken and/or unmaintained.
To demonstrate robustness against disturbances. I'm not sure if it has to be abusive, though.
Is there any good estimate of how much of AMD’s power efficiency advantage can be attributed to TSMC’s process vs Intel’s? I know in GPUs AMD doesn’t enjoy the same advantage vs nVidia since they’re both manufactured by TSMC, and with nVidia actually being on a smaller node, iirc.

> A movie about an architect redesigning a city.

It's a movie about the Catilinarian conspiracy:

> An accident destroys a decaying New York City-like metropolis. Cesar Catilina, an idealist architect with the power to control time, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, but is opposed by corrupt mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo. Torn between them is Franklyn's socialite daughter, Julia, who, tired of the influence she inherited, searches for her life's meaning.[4][5][6]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalopolis_(film)

> The Catilinarian conspiracy, sometimes Second Catilinarian conspiracy, was an attempted coup d'état by Lucius Sergius Catilina (Catiline) to overthrow the Roman consuls of 63 BC – Marcus Tullius Cicero and Gaius Antonius Hybrida – and forcibly assume control of the state in their stead.

Show HN: Snatched – My game where you lure LLM-powered NPCs to your alien ship
Two weeks ago, I built a 3d browser based game that lets you speak into your mic and talk to LLM powered NPCs. You play as an alien tasked with abducting humans by luring them back to your ship. This is a playable early access experience.

I've just put out an update. It now uses a couple models, including llama 3. Would love to get your opinions on the character tuning.

I know HN hates social logins, so I've disabled the requirement to login for people coming from HN. The mic access is optional, if you don't want to use your voice it also supports text entry.

Certainly depends a lot on what the term "VM" actually means in the context. If it's something as specialized as the JVM, or a native virtualization with an extremely trimmed down guest, then at some point you'll find yourself in need of something more heterogenous, e.g. running a tool on the side that does not fit the VM. Then you're back at square one, only this time with containers (or back in some irreproducible ad-hoc setup). Going with containers from the start, containers that may or may not contain a VM, and that may or may not actually do more than what a VM could supply, that's much less hassle than changing horses at a later point.
So are we going to take this twitter post at face value? Anyone have more info?

> The bread isn't full of sand and grit? And it's sliced!!!

I agree with you on the other points but this. People too often try to make the present look better by hyper focusing on bad things in the past.

Bread was sometimes adulterated with sand or sawdust, but it was not the norm.

I don't think that a past peasant (who would bake his own bread and eat it fresh out of the oven) would be impressed by supermarket bread. People who think sliced bread is good have never tasted real bread.
It serves to show that a clever team is worth tens of millions of dollars (or pounds) of production.

I definitely think you should be able to add keyboard layouts at a software level on iPadOS and iOS, but one possible solution to the problem right now is using a programmable keyboard using QMK [1], ZMK [2], or some other open-source firmware. There's even a usb-usb converter [3] that will convert keystrokes from any keyboard into ones that you map using TMK or QMK, so you can use your own.

When I was writing my tech book "A Developer's Guide to .NET in Azure," I had a little trouble getting into a writing streak, but I tried every day for at least 20 minutes to get my thoughts on a page. It's easier when you have a technical book. I built out a templatized format for my chapters, and I could work on the background of the resource, the security, the code example, etc., and then put it together. Keeping your writing simple on some days looked like just making bullet points of ideas and sections, then sitting down another day and formulating them into paragraphs.

> What's so bad about Dockerfile anyway?

Things I've run into:

* Cannot compose together. Suppose I have three packages, A/B/C. I would like to build each package in an image, and also build an image with all three packages installed. I cannot extract functionality into a subroutine. Instead, I need to make a separate build script, add it to the image, and run it in the build.

* Easy to have unintentional image bloat. The obvious way to install a package in a debian-based container is with `RUN apt-get update` followed by `RUN apt-get install FOO`. However, this causes the `/var/lib/apt/lists` directory to be included in the downloaded images, even if `RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/` is included in the Dockerfile. In order to avoid bloating the image, the all three steps of update/install/rm must be in a single RUN command.

Cannot mark commands as order-independent. If I am installing N different packages

* Cannot do a dry run. There is no command that will tell you if an image is up-to-date with the current Dockerfile, and what stages must be rebuilt to bring it up to date.

* Must be sequestered away in a subdirectory. Anything that is in the directory of the dockerfile is treated as part of the build context, and is copied to the docker server. Having a Dockerfile in a top-level source directory will cause all docker commands to grind to a halt. (Gee, if only there were an explicit ADD command indicating which files are actually needed.)

* Must NOT be sequestered away in a subdirectory. The dockerfile may only add files to the image if they are contained in the dockerfile's directory.

* No support for symlinks. Symlinks are the obvious way to avoid the contradiction in the previous two bullet points, but are not allowed. Instead, you must re-structure your entire project based on whether docker requires a file. (The documented reason for this is that the target of a symlink can change. If applied consistently, I might accept this reasoning, but the ADD command can download from a URL. Pretending that symlinks are somehow less consistent than a remote resource is ridiculous.)

* Requires periodic cleanup. A failed build command results in a container left in an exited state. This occurs even if the build occurred in a command that explicitly tries to avoid leaving containers running. (e.g. "docker run --rm", where the image must be built before running.)

Its ridiculous for western governments to make the argument China subsidizes EVs, hence tariffs. BYD's exports sell for twice the China price[1]. Legacy US/European car manufacturers are simply uncompetitive, living on govt protection, welfare and bailouts. Ford loses 100K on every EV[2], BYD makes cars dirt cheap and is profitable in China, insanely profitable when it exports. China lets car companies compete and evolve, with the understanding that a lot will fail, but the best ones survive.

It's much more than that.

For example, I have an "AI" project on Frontier. The process was remarkably simple and easy - a couple of Google Meets, a two page screed on what we're doing, a couple of forms, key fob showed up. Entire process took about a month and a good chunk of that was them waiting on me.

Probably half a days work total for 20k node hours (four MI250x per node) on Frontier for free, which is an incredible amount of compute my early resource constrained startup would have never been able to even fathom on some cloud, etc. It was like pulling teeth to even get a single H100 x8 on GCP for what would cost at least $250k for what we're doing. And that's with "knowing people" there...

These press releases talking about AI are intended to encourage these kinds of applications and partnerships. It's remarkable to me how many orgs, startups, etc don't realize these systems exist (or even consider them) and go out and spend money or burn "credits" that could be applied to more suitable things that make more sense.

They're saying "Hey, just so you know these things can do AI too. Come talk to us."

As an added bonus you get to say you're working with a national lab on the #1 TOP500 supercomputer in the world. That has remarkable marketing, PR, and clout value well beyond "yeah we spent X$ on $BIGCLOUD just like everyone else".
