That's a far cry from saying the sellers are free from any responsibility.

Cars are highly engineered AND regulated because they have a tendency to kill their operators and pedestrians. It does cost more, but you're not allowed to sell a car that can't pass safety standards.

OpenAI have created a shiny new tool with no regulation. Great! It can drive progress or cause harm. I think they deserve credit for both.

US Cabovers were designed around laws that limited the length of trucks + trailers. Those laws changed, and cabover trucks disappeared.

They have a lot of disadvantages like serviceability and driver comfort. I don't think that looks really figure into it, since a lot of truck purchasing is driven by businesses which would gladly run an absolute pig of a truck if it saved them money.
The argument "war won't occur, it's irrational" isn't a good one. Both WW1 and WW2 were irrational, but they happened anyway. If actors were perfectly rational no wars would occur.
Crime seems sufficiently low that police have bandwidth to deal with more petty crimes. However I would not expect an unlocked bicycle to be safe, there is still quite a bit of bike theft. But I would expect a simple lock to be enough, most of the time.

Similarly with motorbikes: steering lock seems to be enough, judging by the lack of extra security I see on other bikes.
> there are no arguments that are both rational and anti-Israel.

This seems like a leap of logic. I see there are only two possibilities for that to hold true.

a) There are no illegitimate states

b) Israel is unique and unquestionable

I don’t think (b) is worth discussing as such exceptionalism is at the base of all genocidal states, and are almost always illegitimate (I’ll make an exception for the Vatican)

And (a) is easily disproven with a simple look at history. There are plenty of illegitimate states throughout history. A recent example is Apartheid South Africa which got replaced by a democratic South Africa in 1994. A more blatant example is Rhodesia. Almost everybody questioned the legitimacy of Rhodesia, and any anti-Rhodesian argument was indeed rational. Rhodesia was funded as a racist, white-supremacist, ethno-state and as such had no right to exist. Most of the world agreed. Not even Israel recognized Rhodesia (despite militarily supporting the white ethno-fascist government).

Israel in its current form has not right to exist. Israel needs to either a) grant full sovereignty to Palestine, and either pay reparations or grant the right of return to the descendants of those displaced in the Nakba and following atrocities; or b) unite with Palestine under a single democratic government with equal rights of all citizens. It cannot exist as a Jewish ethno-national ethno-state, which subjugates Palestinians in a settler colonial fashion, and further antagonizes its neighbors who shelter Palestinian refugees with constant military incursions.
This seems like Google's version of Vercel, Netlify, AWS Amplify, Cloudflare Pages, etc. But especially Vercel, since they've expanded past basic Node hosting and integrated serverless workers, KV, Postgres, etc. – positioning them to be able to take on Firebase for some use cases.

I'm generally a fan of GCloud over AWS, but I don't see any advantage of this over Vercel. Vercel is way easier to use (as a dev) than anything I've seen in GCloud or Firebase. And them being behind Next.js means it's hard to find a better fit and feature parity (such as for automatic image optimizations) in other hosts... there's vendor lock-in, definitely, but with a much lower risk of overnight sunsetting.

This is a side project for Google that will probably disappear if/when it fails to pick up enough steam. For Vercel, this is their main line of business. Why should anyone choose Firebase?
iPad's long device lifetime and ancestral software are visible in iPad global sales (2012-2023), including 12 quarters of declining sales (2014-2018), https://www.statista.com/statistics/299632/tablet-shipments-.... It's unsurprising that Apple ecosystem homes own at least one iPad.

> If iPad owners get access to macOS thrown in for free, then Mac sales will undoubtedly take a major hit.

In 2022, iPad and iPad Mini were the #1 and #2 top-selling Apple tablets, followed by iPad Pro and iPad Air, https://x.com/fjeronimo/status/1531205164278890496

VMs on iPad would likely be limited to high RAM (16GB) devices with 1TB storage on ~$2K iPad Pro. What percentage of global iPad sales are 1TB iPad Pros? If entry level iPads cannot run VMs due to lack of RAM and silicon support for nested virtualization, they can't "compete" with Macbooks.

Let's remember that iOS was derived from macOS and some iOS features (e.g. APFS) have been added to macOS, along with the ability to run iOS apps on macOS. Apple could create yet another OS subset (cOS) for headless/CLI server apps running in VMs on macOS and iOS, without iOS restrictions. This would allow local development on high-end iPad Pros.

I’m referring to throwing up preventing negative health outcomes rather than death. You can throw up from excessive smoking, but it’s not going to help for inhaled or injected drugs.

OD refers to excessive consumption or negative heath outcomes, so yes and sort of. With alcohol people will sometimes throw up before all that much alcohol enters the bloodstream, throwing up may qualify on its own but may prevent things like liver damage but throwing up itself could qualify as a negative health impact.

It would have to be both cultural/political, and technological on that time frame. With current technologies that remove CO2, we could completely remove all of the CO2 we currently add to the atmosphere, without even any reduction in our use or release of CO2. The cost of such an effort with current technology would be slightly less than, for example, the cost of World War II (adjusted for inflation, etc.).

If people cared enough to make huge sacrifices, we could absolutely do it right now. Now the technology to make it effortless, so it happens automatically without people doing anything expensive or difficult? E.g. pulling carbon from the air to make things becomes cheaper and superior to pulling oil from the ground? Indeed, we are a ways from that.

I don't think LLMs are going to replace anyone. We will get much more productive though.

Just like the invention of computers reduced the need for human computers who calculated numbers by hand or mechanical calculators or automatic switching lines reduced the need for telephone operators or computers&printers reduced the need for copywriting secretaries, our professions will progress.

We will be able to do more with less cost, so we will produce more.
Mass burning of homes, on a recurring 60 to 80 year cycle, then to rebuild the same structures, seems odd. Not mentioning it in the posted article seems like an substantial omission.
You're welcome! Your article taught me exactly what to go looking for.

While we're at it, it also looks like the provider couldn't provision stretched clusters at all until mid-April. I don't know what I think this means for the theory presented in the article. Maybe Uni was new to TF (or even actively onboarding) and paid the beginner's tax? TF is great at turning beginner mistakes into "you deleted your infra." It's an uncomfortable amount of speculation, but it's plausible.

I think what companies want is to replace as many human employees as possible. I don't think they really care what the consequences of that are.
right, and for the most part that's fine too. i am not going to bother about my face showing up in your family album, whether you asked me or not. if you had asked, i'd probably have said yes anyways. however, the point of the law is that anyone downloading your album and exploiting it in some form is violating my rights just as much as you did if you didn't ask, and even more so if they make money off it, or defame my person, and so the law gives me the right to not only ask you to take the photo down, but sue those exploiters for damages. i am not going to sue you, because you didn't profit from the image. yours was an innocent mistake, and simply taking down the image will be enough for you. but if you had the legal right to take and publish my face without my permission, then i would not have the law on my side to stop anyone who is actively exploiting that.
I don't think that's true. The video in the post shows a no-name n64 game being recompiled and running fine. No annotation needed.

Show HN: Launching VideoToPage – How I built it and stack
Hey there,

so after overcoming imposter syndrom, I decided to launch one of my products to product hunt. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/videotopage

I started thinking about this project right after Vision came out. I thought how cool would it be to have a product demo you recorded turn into a full interlinked documentation with introductions, getting started, code examples and so on.

So I built it and reached a Prototype where this was possible. But it took quite some time to process, and it started to get expensive. Then I did a little bit of SEO research in Ahrefs and found out that there is not even a search demand for that. Then someone told me "give people what they want" and it seams people just look for transcriptions and to repurpose it. So I ditched the screen vision analytics part for now and focused on just the spoken text. Not sure if this was the right decision and if I now removed the main sauce from it. We will see.

The project was built using a stack that allows me to ship within days. It is based on firebase, react and nestjs and nx. I have everything in Typescript. Even though firestore might be tough to work with, I have wrappers around it that help me solve most of the issues. So this is pretty nice.

One thing I am proud of is a think I called AI islands. Imagine a model, like a actual database model, but from a business layer perspective. So in videotopage every model can be extended with AI capabilities. Each model/repository has certain functionality, like editing, deleting, adding, modifying. Now this per-model functionality is exposed obviously to the UI, so that the user can manage his content. Now, all this capabilities are also exposable to an dedicated AI agent. This still does not sound new, but in this case, each model has actually its own AI assistant history, memory and tool access. This way, when you are navigating through the page, you will always see related ai assistance that is focused only on that you see. Also it updates everything you see as if you would do it. This can be sometimes a magical experience, when you look at your list of items with several features in it, and you just start telling the bot what to change and you see it actually change in front of your eyes.

So this AI Island thing is definitely something I will be shipping in all future products.

I'm doing the opposite even though been ios dev for a decade and now learning react / react native. Reasons:
- golden days of mobile apps are gone, these days less and less people download apps

- it is more important to have desktop / mobile web app these days

- pwa and mobile apps and tech are slowly getting good enough

- if you are native ios or android you are limiting your jobs and business opportunities - native mobile dev is like niche inside niche these days. Probably half of jobs is typescript/javascript/ python related.

- in current market and ai landscape your have to prototype and ship fast to be competitive even at the cost of slighly worse UX
Reminds me of this 99PI article/episode about how the built environment in urban Japan enables a lot of independence for little kids. You can't do that in a lot of the US because speeding cars make it unsafe to walk, and there's nowhere worthwhile within walking distance anyway. So of course US parents keep their kids on a short leash; the environment around them is hostile to anyone outside a car.

There’s a lot to talk about here for sure and I read all your post it was very thoughtful.

I think the tools he is using is available to everyone. So it’s not like the others are at a disadvantage inherently but are choosing to be at a disadvantage. Should there be some sort of award for not using the tools? and if so, why?

I think your example about the system collapsing is dead on. But that’s proof of a bad system and not the questionable morals of the ones contributing to the collapse.

Also I would agree there is some social destructive dilema that occurs when you take shortcuts to get ahead of others. I spent my childhood growing up in low income areas of nyc, and the saying was as long as you get your piece, meaning whatever you need to do to survive is ok because at the end of the day you gotta feed yourself and your family. Think like selling illegal drugs for income. Sure you can feed your family with that money but the damage you are doing to your community will come around to affect you or your future family at some point. Where do you draw the line of bearing a responsibility to others?

I would argue that if they feel the need to sell drugs or are allowed to is a failure of the system as a whole instead of putting the blame on the person for working around the constructs of their community.
nice work, I wouldn't pay monthly for this, but I would buy a one time license.

The problem with this style is frequently not your children but other parents. They present a risk via the straightforward thing that they are bad drivers so risk killing your children, they will report you for letting your kids be more independent, and eventually their kids will grow up and be obsessed with "going to therapy" and therapyspeech and will politically espouse helplessness, parasitizing the few productive members of society.

This is how React works, or at least the illusion it presents to the developer.

Where it goes awry and gets complicated is that web developers want to modify the input state directly within the same functions that produce the output state, and they also want to trigger side effects after the output state has been completed, requiring another pass.

I’ve built a React variant for video compositing. Since it renders at a steady frame rate, there’s no reason to ever trigger re-renders. The useState() and useEffect() hooks are practically useless. To my personal taste it’s a sweet spot for React, and I wonder if some kinds of web apps might benefit from similar simplification to the state approach.
I remember when GitHub actions was based on HCL. They switched to YAML pretty quickly and have never talked much about why.

I always thought HCL was a fairly smart/interesting choice, and I’ve always wondered if they backed out because users were unfamiliar with HCL, the ecosystem wasn’t ready for HCL, or something else.

Yes, even if something is worth fearing, it's not simply because people are afraid of it already. Did something I write make you think I was arguing otherwise?

As an aside, I would argue that this deep rooted human fear of AI is related to the general ancient fear of humans being wiped out by other bands of more technologically advanced humans. Which for most of human history has been the single biggest danger by far.

People also have deep instinctual fears of things like spiders and snakes for the same reason- they were serious hazards in the environment where humans evolved.

One could say we have evolved these instincts to fear them, because they are worth fearing... not the other way around.
For what it's worth, economically for an individual, it's sort of the reverse in my experience. I feel like I snuck into Google in ~2016 because pure-iOS is so rare. I only had 1 out of 7 interviewers who worked on iOS, 2 who had tangential brief experience, 4 who had never used it. Also, Swift was new, so the people who did know iOS couldn't really speak to it when I used it to write code.

If I'm launching a product, I'm doing Flutter. To me, it's Swift but with no rough edges. Most importantly for a product, it lets me maximize leverage and get cross-platform. The performance is really astonishing compared to my days with React Native, it's native in that it's not being JIT'd.

But if I'm happy with a nice gig / set of consulting clients doing iOS, that's great, probably can do that until the end of time. I think we're seeing the first wave of startups doing Flutter to maximize engineering leverage, but long-term, it's too divisive to have a singular Flutter codebase for most large businesses. They'll specialize.
