When the CIA Messes Up
This is the dawn of a "post non-narrative prose" era. Why bother with an article describing some event or really anything that is traditionally written about in any form of article at all? In time, just the data will be released and your favorite LLM prepared with your favorite reading style will provide the mustard for your data, making it consumable. The journalism industry has failed in their mission, and nobody that should trust it trusts it anymore. Articles are simply what someone else wants you to think.
Show HN: I took a different spin at feedback forms with MageForms
Hello HN,

At my previous job, I had to work with a lot of form data and realized how tedious and inefficient the process was. Whenever someone submitted a feedback form, the majority of the time it lacked useful data, or the questions were not relevant. It was also a headache to go through these forms and figure out which users could become advocates and which users needed more attention.

That's when I decided to build Mageforms. With Mageforms, I plan to enable SaaS owners, startups, and anybody looking to get feedback/survey, to create forms that the users will love filling out by adjusting the questions based on their answers to gather as much relevant data as possible and also share resources like docs and blogs depending upon their answers.

In other words, it's a bridge between forms and quick chats with users.

Key features of Mageforms:

1. The questions adjust dynamically based on the user's answers.

2. The user gets access to resources(like your docs, social media, etc) based on their answers.

3. The form learns from your website to only ask useful and specific questions regarding your product/service.

4. We perform sentiment analysis, extract keywords, create summaries, and assign NPS to each response you get.

I have other exciting features I plan to add soon!

I welcome your feedback, criticisms, and suggestions.

> The only ones that are smaller are usually townhomes and are even less affordable than the bigger homes I just mentioned they are located near downtowns or other heavily populated areas.

That will not change because the market of people looking to buy a 1k sq ft home on a quarter acre lot in a less populated area either cannot afford the construction costs or the set of buyers interested in that is too small to bet on for a developer.
I think the other commenters are mostly right but also downplaying the technology advances a bit. The basics of the battery chemistries that are making this work existed two or three decades ago, but there have also been meaningful breakthroughs in the specific components during that time, that (I think) eventually pushed the viability over a tipping point.

In 2004, I think it would have been reasonable to think that EVs would always be a niche for small short range "commuting cars". I remember thinking this, and being excited about even that possibility! But now I frequently see these big Rivian trucks and SUVs driving around, and I know their range is similar to a tank of gas. That seems pretty crazy to me!

And it wasn't just the economics of scale that has made that work.

In the case of stationary batteries, I think just the economics driving the price down has indeed been the most important factor, but something else I haven't seen anybody mention yet is that it also has a lot to do with solar barreling down its cost curve, kicking off massive deployment, to the point that it is a fairly common occurrence now for some locations on some grids at some times of some days to have negative power prices due to solar over-production. Batteries are excellent at sopping up extra power that would have otherwise gone nowhere (or to crypto mining perhaps, but maybe I'm repeating myself).
In this week's newspapers I saw that El Al is buying a number of them.
Show HN: I productized my service of no-code development
Hiring developers or traditional agencies is long, exhausting, and very... very expensive.

Also, sometimes off-the-shelf software just isn't enough or is bloated with too many features for your business.

So, I got the pen working and package my existing skillset into DevGlide, a productized service specializing in developing custom internal software for businesses.

With DevGlide, development is much faster and an affordable way for businesses to get custom internal software. With a flat monthly fee, you get a dedicated developer, unlimited development requests and revisions, and real-time tracking to keep you in the loop.

No need to hire developers, spend hours vetting freelancers, or enter binding contracts with agencies

Whenever you don't need any development from us, you can pause your subscription and unpause whenever you're ready so you don't lose any money in the process.

Got any questions? I'd be happy to answer :)
What debate? That masks help? Only fools think they don't.
I like it as a primary key because you don't have to worry about clashes if you rejig data. But I don't work at scale with data, so performance hasn't been a blocker for this approach.

Yes, unfortunately. You can also use the swipe gesture over the pop-up, even though the overall system is still a bit tricky.
Who has the cause of action? The majority shareholders. Who authorized the stock sale? The majority shareholders. Are they really likely to sue the founder for something that the shareholders authorized?

Only in some states would minority shareholders have a cause of action. So there are some states in which the courts agree with you. As you might imagine, startups do not typically incorporate in those states.
Thanks for bringing that up. I ran into a whole thread on how "bad English" (so called) was/is a lingua franca ...

Really interesting article. It feels a little like what I heard about VisualBasic and REBOL back in the day. AI definitely helps, but I'm still not convinced it will be able to create anything but really simple apps. Likely it will facilitate those people who are maxing out tools like Excel even further.

As well as being a professional developer, I also do these local first types of apps, so I expect once the AI tools become good enough, we will be the first to figure out how to use them.
> As I mentioned, websites back in 2007 were entirely server side and worked very well

That's a terrible premise to start with. No, websites back in 2007 didn't work well otherwise we wouldn't have changed so much since then.

> If their internet connection is poor, then I would argue it is not just an htmx issue -- it is an overall website one! Does not matter whether fetching json or html. In this case we do not want all interactions to be server ones.

In 2024 if your webapp can't open a settings page without internet connection it means your architecture is lame. There is no way requesting a server to open a modal is a smart strategy, period.
What's the problem using UUID as a PK? I really like 128bit numbers for PK, more than 64bit-int or anything text. I'm generally putting a ULID or UUIDV7/8 in there.
Honestly, I could care less if an author uses AI as long as I can understand what I'm reading and it's interesting. They still have to instruct the AI.
Interesting. What's the difference from https://statusgator.com/ ?
I worked at a Series A startup as an employee, and wont be doing that anymore. Early engineers have all the risk (lose job the second things go bad) but little upside. They would offer 500 options, or 1000 options, or 30,000 options -- but when you look at the prices, that was worth $100-$10,000. Why would anyone take all this risk, and lower base salaries for that lottery ticket?!

Secondly, they wont share the cap table, so you dont know what the denominator is. 30,000 shares of What!? No one would tell you. You should run.

Third, the VCs installed a buddy from SV as CEO who was creative with revenue. Great -- so they make their bonuses based on creative revenue, but the company gets saddled with VC rounds they have to dig out of w/o showing real revenue growth. Once you get SV insiders being placed into the company, often with their entourage of cousins and neighbors' kids as Director of HR or Director of Finance -- RUN FAST. The company is being strip-mined for cash, while Engineers slave away trying to code their way out of the wreckage left by locusts.

The C-Suite operated in a separate tier of the company with a heads-i-win-tails-you-lose setup. You could tell -- no way you are all driving Tesla Plaid on a "startup salary" -- the "startup salary" was for suckers, engineers, and those not in the VC-back-scratch loop.

My advice to everyone -- if you want risk, be a founder. Not Engineer #1 or #10. If you want balanced risk, go to a Series C or D company where you dont have the risk of fake accounting. If you want money, go to a public company with real accounting rules, visible revenue, visible liabilities, and more accountability.

Indeed. I've found that as long as you store your database on a modern NVMe drive, you can easily push 5K+ write transactions per second with SQLite. I've worked at very large companies who received an order of magnitude fewer writes than that, and only during peak business hours.
That's a dehumanizing system. Have we lost our way, HN? Are we so immersed in the bleakness of tech, it comes so naturally for us, to propose "hey, let's create surveillance machines to perpetually watch people working, for the rest of their productive lives" and it's something we have to pause and think about?

Let's not build Hell on Earth for whatever reason it momentarily seems to make business sense.
It seems there is an error in the 3rd example. The rule is, take each figure from left to right and stack each under the previous one. For L and J shapes the top cell is stripped. The L shape dictates that the next shape will be shifted one cell to the right, the J shape tells the next figure to shift to the left.
If all examples are right, then the rule is more complicated than that, involving rotating L clockwise, J counterclockwise. Authors claim that it should be solvable by children, then the rule must be simple.
I've been looking into alternatives to the Zero 2W because I need something in the same form factor with more (processing) power; something closer to the Pi 3B+ or better.

My conclusion is that although there is some nice hardware out there on paper, the poor circuit designs and atrocious software support mean anything I can get that meets my requirements will be an absolute nightmare; and I'm a software engineer of 1.5-decades with an Electronic Engineering degree, so the bar is high for something to be too-much-effort.

Take the Radxa Zero 3W[0] for example; the WiFi doesn't work properly, GPU acceleration doesn't always work, the OS images are out of date and don't always boot, when it does there are power issues, thermal issues, performance issues. No Debian 12 expected until H2 this year, if lucky; Android OS images are Android 9 (we're on what Android 14-15 now?).

Why does everyone thinks startups don’t pay well? I have worked for various startups all my life, most of them well funded, and competing for talent with faangs. Yes, I could probably make more at Google but I don’t feel like I’m underpaid. At the last 3 startups my base salary was above 250k. I work remotely and I rarely work more than 30 hours a week.
Ah yes, I'm a brain surgeon. I'll figure it out while I'm operating on your obviously damaged one.

> Chinese clones are the epitome of your “enshittification.” They drive prices up for the real product and invade the market with garbage.

The opposite, having no clones makes it easier for a group (like RaspberryPi) to enshittify.

Enshittification is where a group first obtains a large market share with cheap/free services and then pivots to squeeze as much out as possible. Having a competent clone is a strong preventative.

> This has most recently happened in the 3D printing world, with Prusa versus BambuLab. Who actually develops an open source slicer? Who allows 3rd-party firmware? Who contributes to the community? Who abides by open source licenses? Hint: It is not the Chinese company.

Bambu pisses me off too.

Unfortunately your parent is talking about patents, not open source vs closed source, or license violations.

> No, it would be terrible, as technology development is not free.

What about compatibility? Wouldn't it be good for competitors to be able to provide compatible PIO interfaces, so customers can churn from one SBC to another SBC without needing to rewrite their code?
And even if you could, you probably shouldn't. Go get experience with a bigger company first, so that the startup experience is more useful to you.

> I would add to that that it is likely that wider availability of cheaper batteries is going to create new use cases as well. So their demand projection might be off. If prices drop low enough, a lot of household equipment might start coming with batteries, for example.

The cure for high prices is high prices!

Also I love your thought on how much energy we're distributing around in all these mostly-charged batteries. It would have been unthinkable not all that long ago to have this much energy stored at "the edges" in an extremely accessible form.

Based on the article provided, several elements suggest that the narrative could have been written or heavily influenced by an AI. Below are key points from the article that support this suspicion, each backed by direct citations:

1. *Generic Language and Lack of Specific Detail*:
The article describes Kimberly Gasuras’s experience with broad, generalized statements that lack specific, nuanced detail that a human writer with deep knowledge might include. For instance, phrases like "I don’t need it," and "How do you think I did all that work?" are rather cliché and could indicate AI usage due to their non-specific nature.

2. *Frequent Mention of AI and Related Technologies*:
The story frequently references AI technologies and tools, which might be a characteristic of AI-written content trying to maintain thematic relevance. The tools mentioned, such as "Originality" and others like Copyleaks and GPTZero, align closely with typical AI text outputs that often include relevant keywords to boost perceived relevance and accuracy of the content.

3. *Narrative Coherence and Flow*:
The narrative flows in a structured manner typical of AI outputs, where each paragraph introduces new information in a systematic way without the nuanced transitions we might expect from a seasoned journalist. This can be seen in transitions like, "It was already a difficult time. Then the email came." This kind of straightforward sequencing is common in AI writing.

4. *Absence of Emotional Depth or Personal Insight*:
Despite discussing a personal and potentially distressing situation for Gasuras, the article does not delve deeply into her emotional response or provide personal insights that a human writer might include. The statement, "I couldn’t believe it," is as deep as it gets, which seems superficial for someone discussing their own career challenges.

5. *Repetitive and Redundant Information*:
The article repeats certain themes and statements, such as the reliability issues of AI detectors and the impact on personal livelihoods. For example, the repetition of the impact of AI on writers and the functionality of AI detectors in multiple paragraphs could suggest an AI's attempt to emphasize key points without introducing new or insightful commentary.

6. *Use of Industry Buzzwords and Phrases*:
The language includes buzzwords and phrases typical of AI-related discussions, such as "AI boogeymen," "peace of mind," "proof," and "accountability." These terms are often used to artificially enhance the thematic strength of the content, a common technique in AI-generated texts to align closely with expected keyword density and relevance.

These elements collectively suggest the possible use of AI in crafting the article, particularly in terms of the language used, the structure of the narrative, and the absence of deeper, personalized insights one would expect from a human writer discussing their own experiences.

My understanding is that the Internet Archive doesn't make money from getting more audience. I think it couldn't care less if more people are acessing their archives. It might actually cause more problems for them, considering they don't have many resources to work with in the first place.

I think if Google is not contributing to the Internet Archive, this is really absurd.
> And children should learn to program edge devices, they are entering a world flooded with them...

Which means little unless laws substantially change to allow them to do anything with them. Right now, edge devices are protected from "tampering" and "unauthorised use" by both technical and legal means.

Honest question: do people with young kids do these jobs well, or at all?

I'm sure the answer is sometimes, yes. But, as a 41-yr-old father of two kids (6, 2) and a wife in PE, the pace and stress strike me as contradictory to being present in a marriage, being present with my kids, managing my health, etc.

I'd love to hear how the people with families manage (or fail) this pace?
India is dodging the obesity trend?

India has one of the fastest growing rated of diabetes and obesity, as observed with economies where incomes are rising across the board. Not to mention Indian food being extremely unhealthy in general across the board (save for some vegetarian cuisines).

China is also seeing an uptick in obesity rates and diabetes, etc as more folks move from rice carbs to sugars, and from veggies to pork.
I find the article quite shallow. It throws around many examples of injustice but only offers a vague "hold prosecutors accountable" solution. How to hold them accountable?

How to solve the "who watches the watch men" problem in a democratic friendly way? An obligation to transparency would be a important step but maybe also an extension of criminal conduct by officials.

The reason why you cant hold officials accountable is either you cant prove it or its not illegal. Overprosecution, like the article says (without mentioning trump) should not be actionable because you dont want anybody to interfere with a fully transparent executive/judicial process.
