The unique and very special aspect of HTMX's approach is that it changes just 4 things in browser behavior (list from the Hypermedia book):

- Any element should be able to make HTTP requests
- Any event should be able to trigger an HTTP request
- Any HTTP Action should be available
- Any place on the page should be replaceable

The default behavior of browsers (without HTMX) is that only A and FORM tags can make requests, only GET (A,FORM) and POST (FORM) HTTP actions are available, only click can trigger a request, and only the full can be replaced.

By changing these 4 things, it opens up a huge range of possibilities, but requires learning very few new concepts. And it also lets you work in whatever language you're most comfortable with -- you don't generally have to use JS (e.g very useful for data scientists, who generally know python).
That's why I noted that it's in dispute. I'm not familiar with the research outside of "it's complicated"
A coworker of mine is fond of saying, “I believe everything I read in the New York Times except for the stuff I know about.”
I don't think it's as easy as you make it sound. I probably couldn't differentiate an expert Shandong chef from a generically skilled chinese chef, even if I like their cooking. It's difficult as a non-expert to even know what the differences are, let alone be able to see (or taste) them.

Yes, they are.
I am puzzled how it is OK to kill people of other countries, but not your own.
US, China and Russia have all indulged in wanton mass killing of people. So that's an even keel for me.

The nuking of civilians and the abuse of supremacy post cold war show that the US cannot trusted to act morally and ethically in the absence of comparable adversaries. Possession of nukes by Russia and China clearly kept the US military adventures somewhat in check.
The testing that produced the recipe is the full eventual observed lifetime performance in the past.
Absolutely! I find repair to be therapeutic at times, like repairing a stuck or dirty 1970s film camera lens. It's usually a straight forward repair, it just takes a bunch of patience and attention to detail. This repair was far more complicated than that, but it was worthwhile to get another instrument working around the lab.
A couple paragraphs in and I’m already like “Ah, here comes the Michael Crichton quote, the “papers’ full of ‘em” one.”

I’ve never read one of these that didn’t come off as unbearably smug. Like sure, discerning the truth is hard, duh. But the people who try their best to do it, even if they sometimes fail, are worth immeasurably more than the dead-souled people who decide “might as well sling bullshit since it’s impossible to be totally correct” (if that’s not what the article is saying out loud, it’s certainly what a lot of the commenters are saying)

Edit: Just to end on a positive note, I want to call out the one good piece of content in this genre, which takes Gell-Mann amnesia, flips it, inverts it, and then skewers Michio Kaku for trying to act like he knows about hurricanes: https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0?feature=shared
This is true! A general journalist who has studied up a domain and written an article within a week cannot stand up to this kind of deep questioning.
Some good posts here. Another term to look into is auralization (often discussed in reference to room acoustics). I have done some research into architectural acoustics and real-time audio rendering tools and am happy to discuss further (though it is a big field and I definitely don’t know it all), anyone reading this should feel free to shoot me a message.
Thanks. I like to keep things lightweight :D

> nice if Lambda just reused the CGI interface

Lambda is an event-driven system; synchronous, stateful request/reply for HTTP is shoehorned onto that. At heart it's a scale-out queue processor, not a web server. This whole "lambda gives your code a URL" folks speak of, is actually an API Gateway thing. This is also why Lambda has at-least-once semantics rather than that at-most-once, which definitely surprises the casual web developer from time to time ("why did that happen twice??").

That said, I don't disagree with the sentiment; it would be quite nice if API Gateway had a simple option to map incoming request parameters to CGI-like attribute names in the event payload.
I'm back in Vietnam (Saigon) for the first time in 4 years and it has been like a time machine. Covid definitely left its mark on this country due to the severe lockdowns they went through. The most interesting change I've noticed is that nearly everyone speaks at least a little English now. Attributed to being locked inside and a lot of YouTube.

It used to be difficult/expensive to get drones here, but I see DJI stores all over town now. Seeing this is super cool and speaks towards how innovative and creative Vietnamese get with whatever they can get their hands on.

I'm interested in texturing an existing mesh from an image, eg. human or cartoon photo to human rig.

Are there any good projects or papers that do this? I'm just starting to read up on the space.
Blockchains facilitate trustless transactions enabling truly decentralized currencies not under the control of any government. Many people find this quite valuable, as evident by recent trends in authoritarian overreach, fiscal repression, and inflation. Privacy optimized cryptocurrencies like Monero also deal with the problem of their blockchain 'providing evidence in court.'
It is incredibly hard to find ANYONE at any of these "coding bootcamps" or online education platforms that has any idea about what pedagogy is (or that it even exists) to the point that I seriously think anyone that makes it out of these programs and lands a job was mostly because they got the focus and time to learn by themselves (due to being in the program) than due to the program itself.

They just needed a kick in the butt. Anyone that actually needs to learn how to program for real, won't make it out.
>The difference is that the NSA targets foreign governments and terror organizations. The Chinese government targets the same but also goes after their citizens, foreign citizens, foreign corporations, etc.

Thanks for the laugh, this was one of the funnier things I've read in awhile.
GPS wouldn't work if relativity was wrong. Radio wouldn't work if our theory of electromagnetism was wrong. Satellites wouldn't stay in orbit if Newton was wrong. Modern medicine wouldn't work if our understanding of biology was wrong. And chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics and so forth all overlap, all require each other to some degree... and each of these interconnected areas of knowledge need to be correct, because we want to use it to build things or solve problems or make discoveries.

That's why I like science and engineering, it's a whole structure that, while not perfect or complete, has self-reinforcement and self-correction built in. And if it's right about something, the proof will be in the pudding. Otherwise, like you say, your airplane will fall out of the sky.
tgere are far better ways but for the sake of simplicity I suppose you could ssh in to box, cd /some/dir, and git pull on the latest branch. that way atleast you have version control and can rollback quickly if you bork your site

Large cryptocurrency networks like Bitcoin are extremely hard to execute a 51% attack upon due to their size. Though ultimately there's no perfect solution. As the saying goes, democracy is 2 wolves and 1 sheep deciding on what's for dinner.

According to the teacher, he did. Even if he didn't change his behavior, he now knew there was indeed a reason.

I started my first small business when I was 8, and was able to do the accounting for it (not that there was much to it). I never thought about the connection between math and business at the time, because it just seemed natural and obvious. I did several businesses, earning enough that I could buy a car by the time I was 16.

I bet you knew kids during school who had small enterprises on the side.
This has also been my experience working at multiple household names and reading coverage and comments about things I was working on.
The changes you're describing are already here in standard HTML + JS.

Every element can be replaced with custom Web Components that can cause requests. Content can be partially displayed with just a click, tap, keypress, etc. and it doesn't even require scripting!

There are over 200 extant discrete methods that can be used to send network requests in web applications running in modern browsers.

Two major problems with studies like this:

1. The number of brain sub-regions and associated variables they're looking at is huge. Perhaps more than the number of patients in the study, depending on how you look at the data. If you collect enough data points on two groups of about ~30 people each and you run enough regressions, eventually you'll find some model that works on your small data set. This would need to be tested against a much larger cohort.

2. They did not control for stimulant usage at all. In fact, they note that stimulant use was vastly higher in the ADHD group, because obviously you need an ADHD diagnosis to receive ongoing stimulant prescriptions. It's a delicate topic, but we know that stimulant use in some cases is associated with changes in brain structure and blood flow. It's a huge variable that is hard to control for in a study like this.

Overall, I don't find a study with 31 ADHD patients that tested dozens and dozens of different variables to be all that conclusive. Perhaps useful for focusing future research, but a singular study like this isn't very conclusive.
Brief in afterlife is somewhat different from brief in simulation.

In a simulation, you are just a bit of data. You can be destroyed or duplicated, multiple instance of you may exist, even at the same time.

In (most) brief of afterlife, "something in you" is unique, last forever, really do matter, etc.

The type of synthesis you're refering to is "physical modelling" - but from a physics and mathematics perspective - my understanding is that this is refered to as DSP (Digital Signal Processing - which all the resources pointed to here are) computational physics, numeric analysis, fluid dynamics - and most likely a few other names i'm yet to stumble upon.

The closest thing to what you mention is: Modalys by IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music)

https://forum.ircam.fr/projects/detail/modalys/

From the readme:

Modalys is IRCAM’s flagship physical model-based sound synthesis environment, used to create virtual instruments from elementary physical objects such as strings, plates, tubes, membranes, plectra, bows, or hammers.

It is also possible to create objects with more complex shapes out of 3D meshes, or using measurements, and Modalys does all the hard computational work for you, bringing them to life and making them sound.

You can run Modalsys inside Ableton's flagship Suite.

I'm very passionate about this area of music/DSP...one day i hope to get involved in it :-)
I don't know if I'd go this far.
If a company reports earnings far below what they previously gave guidance on, the stock pretty reliably falls.
"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."

I disagree with most of the examples. When newspapers are struggling, for example - it is just that, a struggle. It is not "socio-technical debt". Newspapers in 1830 sold maybe 148 million copies annually, 0.4 million per day. Comparing that to the Census number of 12,860,702, we see that only 3% of people read the newspaper. In contrast daily newspaper readership today (print+digital) is 20.9 million, compared to 333.3 million population, 6.3% of people. Whatever social function newspapers serve, it is clear that they are still serving it. Actually, technical debt is when you don't replace old, crunky stuff - arguably, if traditional news stories make up only 3 percent of social media content, then the social media companies should be figuring out how to refactor their platforms so as to be able to completely replace these old, legacy businesses.
I don’t really disagree with you other than to say that if your issue is with my tone and not my point, I don’t really have anything to say. Nothing I’ve said has been far off and I am speaking from a lot of experience here as a former admin of multiple large private mental health support groups. These arguments are all very much the same, and serving a very specific subtle purpose that does not actually advance discussion on this topic, and that is to cast doubt onto people suffering whethering they are “actually” suffering from whatever and therefore, in this hypercapitalist healthcare system (speaking of the USA specifically here), whether or not it is “worthy” of care, especially in the eyes of doctors that should know, who frequently have a high amount of control in these situations wrt to what care you are deemed “worthy” to receive.

Thus the result of these situations is many people cannot afford (or even if they can, sometimes no) proper care necessary to them. Gatekeeping types of arguments like these do not make that better.
Welp. Guess I'm getting another hour added to my account limit after this, because I have to commit the sin of speaking candidly.

At one point, many many people believed diseases were borne by humors and miasmas, that didn't make it true. They believed the stars were etched onto crystal spheres, that didn't make it true. People believe the universe was created in a literal week, ten thousand years ago, but that doesn't make it true. People believe cancer can be healed by crystals, that doesn't make it true. More people believe the Earth is a flat disc now than did in the ancient world, that doesn't make it more true than it ever was. Is that last thing I said even true? I don't know, I just pulled it out of my ass and asserted it with confidence.

A prevailing belief that Hacker News is an educational resource does not make it true. One can be educated here, just as one can be educated anywhere. But that is not the purpose of this forum, nor is it a reasonable expectation to have. Hacker News is notorious for the gaping chasm between the proclaimed expertise of the claims made here, and actual knowledge, in any non-technical domain, and often even the technical. This tendency towards aggressive ignorance becomes obvious whenever actual experts in a field enter a thread and inevitably have to talk people down from their preconceptions, often getting harassment in exchange. No one is ever, ever as impressed with what Hacker News knows about anything, as Hacker News is with itself. This is such a well known facet of the culture here it got written up about in the New Yorker[0].

Hacker News is no better an educational resource than Reddit. Actually, it's worse than some technical subreddits, which require proof of domain knowledge and enforce a strict hierarchy between experts and lay posters - all it takes to join Hacker News is filling out a basic web form. No matter how much people want this place to be the apex of intellectual discussion, the last dying light of civilization in a culture overrun with normie scum, and the nexus of tech culture, or whatever, it is not, cannot and will never be. It is just a place where people hang out and shoot the shit. Anything more you might get from it is an anomaly, and just as often as not, a crapshoot.

You want to be educated? Take a class. Read a book. Get out and do the damn thing. Don't waste your time hanging out here expecting enlightenment. Carry water. Chop wood. Touch grass.

A bit, yes, but most of the community problems can be solved without changing that. The community problems are due to the way they're run: basically, owned by profit-maximizing hedge funds.
We'll see, but we've heard this story before with other proposed alternatives to mesh-based pipelines. Voxels and point clouds were all the rage in research for a while and poised to take over as soon as the last few pieces came together, but they never did and we still use meshes for nearly everything, either by creating meshes directly or turning some other type of data into a mesh. We still need to figure out how you're even supposed to edit static neural assets at a fine-grained level, nevermind animate them with precision, nevermind do all that efficiently.
This action continues to be a protest regardless of our feelings about the methods used, or their legality.

This article sounds like a press release for oil and ethanol producers. Big oil, still basically selling out the rest of humanity so they don’t lose all those profits.
I've worked in tech in this industry, and it is filled with scammy, no good people at the top, companies pushing rent-fixing software at the expense of quality property management, prop management companies paying peanuts to their own employees and downsizing apt leasing offices and managers so that they have to do more with less..so many working class people working multiple shitty benefit-less jobs trapped in shitty apartments with rent increases they don't deserve. America is such a scammy country.

The sad thing is that Private Equity is the trend now for financing and running other type of industries Greed is Good mindset.. I guess this isn't new
I dont get it.

I dont farm rice or have experience in vietnam in particular. Yet in my experience, pesticide etc has always been done thru the already existing irrigation system with a pump.

Of course with advice from a technical person.

The irrigation system requires an upfront investment of course but you are already going to irrigate the plot so this is is a no brainer. Therefore unless the rice grows without any irrigation system, I dont see how drones could be any more cost effective.

I know rice is traditionally grown on flooded plains but that seems very risky - you are leaving your harvest in the hands of nature. Is Vietnam still growing rice subject to the whims of nature?
> make it much more difficult to get a license

While I agree, getting a licence in most of places in Europe is pretty difficult, but driving culture is nowhere close to German.
of course it's my personal opinion, it's a post on the internet. But it's pretty obviously true also. So obvious, if you live around them, that IMO the onus for proof is on the person finding something good to say about them.

> You really think none of these 5-over-1 buildings have community amenities like gyms, pools, coworking spaces, party rooms, and other features like that?

of course I don't. they have those and suck anyway.

> And the idea that all these developments only have overpriced retail is not only laughable but it still beats out McMansion developments for having zero retail of any kind. But again we are holding multi-family developments to higher standards than single family homes that are so lovingly adored.

yeah, McMansions are worse. If only there were other options besides those two. Oh wait there are tons. Like "all of Europe".

My proof is "I have lived places that didn't suck and it's pretty clear what the differences are". Anyone who has also lived somewhere that didn't suck will also see the difference pretty clearly.
