This would actually be a revolutionary idea. Imagine the iPhone becoming your primary doctor, eliminating the need for traditional visits. This has never happened before. Have a fever? Use this digital thermometer to measure your body temperature. Discolored urine? Open the camera, and iDoctor will evaluate its healthiness. If not, you can use another device that analyzes samples to identify the cause.

Essentially, the iPhone would be the central processing unit for all your potential health concerns. If the app determines a probability of a specific disease, it would recommend a relevant specialist.

This could eliminate the need for a traditional primary doctor, their assistants, and the associated overhead, saving money for both patients and insurance companies. Instead of paying for both a primary doctor and a specialist, they would only pay for this app and a specialist visit when necessary.
Of course you can read non-existent messages, for example when an AI hallucinates one, or when someone shows you a photoshopped screenshot of one, or even just when you copied one to a text document before deleting the message.
First came across this 2 days ago and found this extremely impressive. There's also a YouTube presentation where Sean goes over the main features of Circle's C++ memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q1awoAwBgQ.

This seems to be adding Rust borrow semantics and borrow checking to C++. The delivery vehicle seems to be a C++ compiler that the author has been working on for a number of of years. I couldn't find a ton more on the background of this.

From a technical perspective this looks promising as a C++ successor language. The project will have to attract other members in the C++ community though.
To add to your excellent point, who gets to validate the models efficacy? How do we know the state hadn't trained it to report users talking about maga, or Isreal, or for those with Chinese national lovers?
No, there is no such point, because there is simply not enough room to transport every person in an office building or high-rise apartment building in a personal car to and from work.
competition within teams can be a good thing
Tag Connects are great. I use them on all my boards. Small (I use the "no legs" version), no BOM item, and works beautifully.
Unless your current OS is interfering with the productivity or utility of your machine, I see no practical reason to switch.

Start by answering why projects need to be easier to deliver. Of course they should be, but the nuance of the answer is the thing you measure. You see something that indicates that they're "too slow." What impact would you see on the R&D team if the delivery team did better? Go back to why you have a delivery team at all.

Or you can ask in the reverse: when would you stop wanting to invest in delivery beyond maintenance? What does "good enough" look like?

Some years back I seem to recall Debian making the claim to support more hardware (if not necessarily the same hardware) as NetBSD. I cannot verify this presently however....
It's a perfect analogy, because we pointlessly reshaped our world around automobiles before realizing that no, in fact, most of us didn't need one, and we would have been better off had we not created a society in which everyone has to have one in order to exist.
It's html over a websocket. What is there to understand?
I used to be really negative on Hotwire/Livewire but I now realize it’s a horses-for-courses kind of thing. Sending partials over the wire is a hypermedia thing, and I just don’t write hypermedia apps nowadays. It was htmx and re-reading RTF’s REST paper that got me to this place: I still don’t think hypermedia is inherently the superior architecture, but it is a legit peer among several, and it’s nice to see it keep evolving, even if slowly.
I’ve been using Hotwire for a greenfield project for the last year. The hotwire framework they’ve created is pretty nice but I miss React and will probably choose it for my next project.

Not just because it’s decoupled from the backend api. The React/Vue ecosystems have a lot more useful open source components, and you can build faster, more cache friendly front ends, among other benefits.

I agree React is more complex, but as with many things if you are gonna need it then it’s great to have started with it.
Yeah, it's best if you can also hold down any reset lines on other things on the board.
For those looking for something similar in PHP/Laravel, I strongly recommend checking out Livewire:
https://laravel-livewire.com/

I still use React for more complex projects but it’s always a breath of fresh air to be able to write everything in Blade/PHP while keeping the reactive UI elements.

Edit: Although I have not used, I remember seeing this package which lets you render React/Vue components within Livewire when you need it: https://minglejs.unitedbycode.com/ an interesting escape hatch for when you want to pull in existing packages
Vector databases are just the easiest way to make a search engine in a demo.
I bought a counterfeit Athlon XP (one modded to look like a 3200+) and spent some time troubleshooting its problems before dealing with getting my money back (from my credit card company - the vendor has already disappeared). There are definitely some advantages for the consumer in making counterfeiting difficult.
That's not possible this year
Are there any consumer GPUs that can push 4K at 1000Hz? And what display connector(s) are being used?
Yeah I was really into Wicket in late 2000s and while I personally liked it and hated JS, managing UI state and templates on the server was always kind of a foot gun for performance and scale in a team environment. Really hard for me to be excited about this approach again, especially after all the improvements to web, JS, and TypeScript in meantime.
That only makes the bus beat the car if theres traffic on the roads. Cities like columbus don’t gridlock outside osu football games. Highways flow full speed even during rush hour which is actually less than an hour. Its a different planet than socal traffic where both sides of a highway are moving 20mph between 3-7pm

A lot of tiptoeing around the craziness of Republican climate policy here. Presumably because his audience includes a lot of people with stupid opinions on the subject.

What's silly is to state that we "can't" make things cheaper.

The rest of your statements are relative to the myriad costs of no cars and other transportation. It's narrative.

>That’s not getting cheap. It’s like saying that single family homes in Manhattan should be cheap, then everything will be better. Cars and mansions don’t fit in cities. They can’t be cheap!

What? Get a grip.

We already have buses and trains. Trains are great but can't go everywhere a car is required. Buses are a poverty pattern and the working class should be elevated away from their necessity rather than toward. The practical tax is such that it is racist to mean to force people into bus transportation.

Automotive transportation has always been the future. It is not only a form of wealth but a form of anti-poverty and anti-strife, as is freedom of movement that they better facilitate.
Hmm couldn’t you just skip frames to achieve that same effect on any monitor?
Universities everywhere become corrupt, as performance doesn't matter for the staff to be paid.

The only thing that matters is political power, both for the hosting country subsidies as well as outside donations (Qatar massive donation that made Harvard president claim that a call to murder all Jews is ok is a great example).

I have no idea how to fix this at this point.

I just know that trust in academic institutions is very, very low. And justifiably so.

That comes from buying companies, not owning companies. I think the stock market is the biggest problem, or for the housing situation companies buying a large number of houses is the biggest problem, or for medicine buying up patents to rack up prices is the problem, or for software buying up games/programs and filling them with spyware is the problem etc.

Builders typically aren't that evil, but builders sell to exploiters who are evil and exploit it as much as possible. You see this everywhere, that extra level of indirection where you aren't fine with exploiting people but you are fine selling your work to those who do exploit people. Exploiters are a tiny minority of people, but that is enough since they can buy up all the assets to exploit and thus become very wealthy.

Edit; And yes, those exploiters often have MBA degrees. Not everyone with such degrees of course, but the overlap seems pretty large.
It is not just my imagination. If you follow the features that Apple is adding to their watches, you realize my predictions aren't that far off. Apple will do it inch-by-inch, though. They won't declare this app at once, but rather they would add each medical assistance feature one by one
The cost I guess
I feel like everytime Hotwire and similar libraries get posted we hear this, but the reality is simple CRUD w/ AJAX never went away… Sure theres loads of SPA projects out there but that doesnt account for every single website ever.
My experience of journalists has been that they often just email you to ask questions. LLMs can do that.
Can you quantify this and link to the implementation?
Actually, "bank" isn't just homonyms; both senses derive from circa-Proto-Germanic benc/bank: a bench or other raised area (either a bank counter or the raised ground adjacent to a riverbed). (And yes, this etymology is also shared with "bench".)
Turbo’s morphing is insane. With 2 lines of code: 1 in the model and 1 in the view, you can make any previously static page an instant updating multiplayer experience.

You're partly right but autoconf's design is pretty rigid. I've never seen one where the install destination isn't set via one of the standard flags like --prefix. But I have seen other build systems randomize their install processes. Maybe this is a function of what kind of people use each tool. Autotools is mainly adopted by experienced geeks. Other build systems are more beginner-friendly and that might result in less appropriate solutions being written.
Hotwire is the umbrella term for turbo, stimulus and strada. Turbo has client and server side components that enable easy ways to do partial page refreshes and send html templates (turbo streams) to initiate page updates from the server. That’s all without writing any js (using mostly data attributes and custom html tags, like turbo-frame).
Stimulus comes in as a small framework for the cases where you want to write some JavaScript, in a way that you still control the behavior from html, by attaching controllers to elements explicitly.
These two aspects are similar to htmx:
- send html from the server even for partial page updates
- encode desired js behavior into the html
The main difference is that turbo is designed with a convention over configuration attitude, as many of it’s behaviors are automatic (like intercepting all form submissions and handling them using fetch, preventing a full page reload). When custom js is needed Hotwire defers to letting you write actual js code, htmx has this tailwind style shorthand that allows you to basically write js from the html.
Always amazes me to see that society as a whole has been and continues to be willing to use public (or private) funding to support natural sciences. In the short term, one often faces the argument about the meaningless of doing things just for the sake of knowing or understanding nature. But in the long run, attracting scientists and engineers to work on such problems must (insert my optimism) add a significant value to our society as a whole.
Thanks for the information.

The linked page shows only integrating Hotwire with Ruby on Rails, giving me my original impression.
I used to make my own RCA cables out of bulk RG59 or RG6 coax (which has excellent performance [1] and is cheap) and decent connectors. “Decent” means that it doesn’t corrode, goes on easily, stays on, and makes good electrical contact with the shield and center conductor.

A really nice compression connector costs under $2. The tool costs about $20. The cable costs basically nothing. Other than being a thick and a bit stiff, the results are excellent.

[1] Unbalanced audio is sensitive to picking up 60Hz noise. RG6 isn’t designed for such low frequencies, but any decent coaxial cable will fairly effectively limit this type of noise to the shield. Balanced cable would be much better but needs different gear.
I'll check it out, I love automating deployment with github actions
What makes this less of a rabbit hole than the alternatives you mention?
How is this a an appropriate answer to a (not totally baseless) complaint about bad developer ergonomics? GP didn't say how hard they tried learning rust. This comes off as needlessly condescending.
This is a key factor: businesses have learned to “optimize” by cutting corners wherever people can’t perceive the deficit. The product just has to last long enough.
I've used Hotwire for a few sites. I much prefer it to HTMX since it's significantly easier to implement.

My No-React tech stack is Alpine.js, Hotwire, EJS, and Express. Works very nicely for simpler sites.

Though for the majority of the sites I make, React wins almost every time since it's way easier to use as a templating and interactivity engine. And Tailwind works a lot better with React.
(I've edited the original post; could easily be where you think)

The process became much easier for our neighbours while I've been here, which, being zero-sum for available slots, is to say it became more formidable for the Old Country. As of today, I wouldn't be surprised if it's easier to get in from Tunisia than from Texas.

It could be tougher; no one ever asked me if I could make a roux :-)

EDIT: I couldn't rapidly find GDP splits by firm size, but an easy comparison is that ~3/4 of all employees work for SMEs here, as opposed to under 1/2 for the Old Country. (Germany's figures are similar, and they claim over half their GDP comes from SMEs.)

Comeon people, if you allow unsafety, you cannot call your language safe. There are safe system languages, but don't lie and call unsafe languages safe. Partial safety is not full safety.
A way less marketed version of this is htmx [1]. It is a single javascript file that enables this functionality. I mostly see people using it with Go backends but I think it is flexible. I have been meaning to try it out for a year or so.

With increasing size of corporations (which buyout competition to create market monopolies) the market economy is turning into a centralized economy, isn't it?

Just instead of an entity called "political party" it's being directed by board of directors of said corporations. And they're very effective at lobbying further to decrease chances of market competition as well.

So the system you're describing is not actually happening to the extent we need in the wild, we're drifting away from market economies to centralized economies.
I generally agree with your original comment, and I think a lot about Schmidt's quote when operating in a startup context. You're right that it's ironic in the Google context. Search should absolutely go back to being measured on retention and they should disentangle from the revenue team. And I agree that the real death of Google was in the statistical game: 95% confidence in a microscopic metric improvement still lets through serious quality degradation 5% of the time. This gets to another important point: OKRs should be _big_ or they're not worth doing.
I have sensitive skin so I start to itch shortly after contact and it builds from there. If I get it scrubbed off fast enough after exposure, I can usually prevent full contact dermatitis from setting in.

Urushi is more of a pain in the ass because its made from the sap, but Windsor and Newton artguard barrier cream seems to really help. Ideally apply it before use but it helps washing it off too if you forget.

I also use Hotwire/Stimulus and haven't run into any issues yet. Happy to share links with you on anything I know about.
> I wish this wasn't the case.

This is my diagnosis of all of these WFH discussions. People like the benefits of remote work so much that they are (subconsciously) trying to deny any possible problems and the "back to the office" trend can only have nefarious motivation.
I'm not arguing that they never manufacture parts for replacement. I'm saying that it's reasonable to expect a longer delay for parts when a company is producing 300 vehicles per year rather than hundreds of thousands. They can still assign parts to be used as replacements as they come off the line based on demand. It's just a slower process than having them waiting in shops or warehouses around the country for quick replacement.
As others have stated, just uninstall it now. Even at my work, my manager wanted us to use WhatsApp to communicate with our offshore teams. I let her know that I would be happy to do so with a company provided phone, but I don't install spyware on my devices, and furthermore don't have an app store so would need to be able to build it from source. But I'd be happy to use signal or email.

There was a lot of horse shit everywhere before cars.

You could go back to bicycles but that's not great when you have a family of groceries and kitty litter to carry home in the rain.

Or when need a trip to the hospital or any other emergency.

So yes, many people need a car, and it enables personal freedom.

I live in a small town you can walk end to end in 15 minutes, it has everything you need in a small area, but a car still makes life easier and more fun.

How do you propose we structure society where you don't need cars?

Columbus is one of those cities where the car experience is too nice, highway system built out and roads hardly congest (save for osu football games) . Say you live in worthington and work near downtown perhaps. You will probably be taking 315 or 71 there in like 15 minutes. Even if there was a train line 15 mins walk from your house that took you to downtown, it would probably double your commute at least. Not to mention when its raining or snowing that starts looking not so nice compared to your heated car a ten second walk from the door.
That was a surprising downvote.

I was referring to this:

"it is customary in Lua to start arrays with index 1" [1]

Not being a native English speaker, I may have phrased something wrong. I find "one-based indexing" in arrays not particular intuitive, and error-prone.

Memory-safe languages are IMHO a distraction from making people write bug-free code.

There are much more important bugs than memory safety bugs, including all sorts of performance bugs.

We need to address the whole spectrum instead of compromising all areas in order to tackle niche bugs that only matter in security-critical contexts.
This also assumes that there is actual competition to be compared, but corporations are surprisingly bandwagony.

E.g. look at phone, car, TV or any other similar markets and just how homogenous they became.

Heck, my mobile phone reviewers are outright quitting because that whole billion $ market is pretty much stagnant.

>So other than training ever-larger models on the same internet data, how can they make better LLMs?
Training a multi-modal model that can integrate audio, visual, text and all sorts of data modalities to human level capabilities still remains an clear challenge. The bottleneck here is not the lack of data imo.
Well, with a latency floor at the real refresh rate. But it would be nice if OSes provided a feature like that. In general modern desktop compositors tend to go in the other direction, adding frames of latency universally to all applications.

You've given individual solutions to try to fix a systemic problem, which of course does not work. They are good ideas; they are also not enough, and don't even begin to address the issue at-scale.

What does is recognizing that the "be realistic" bluster is just that: a bluff, from people who hold real power in the status-quo, but who realize that that status-quo can be changed, if only the walls would fall and nature could take its course. The reality is that older generations have created a zero-sum situation, and the only way for the younger ones to thrive is for the older ones to give up some (many) of their advantages. The reality is that this happens when political and economic forces are finally incentivized to stop protecting them.

One last thing I feel the need to mention whenever it comes up:

>At that time, there were many subprime mortgages floating around that should've never been written.

This is true, but not because they were written for people who were financially unfit to be homeowners. It's because these loans were written intentionally to fail, knowing that banks could steal the homes back in illegal foreclosure proceedings, knowing that the mortgages would be wrapped up in financial vehicles and sold off at profit, knowing that the government would backstop them when it all came crashing down. Given fair loans, most of these mortgage-seekers would have been able to keep up their payments - but that woukd have been less profitable for banks than what ended up happening. Instead, these financial institutions were able to siphon billions from the middle class, and buy up the remains of their failed rivals for pennies on the dollar. Which is despicable, of course. But to understand this, you have to reject the notion that we're living in a just world whose past mistakes can't be corrected. It isn't and they can be.
