I'm a novice on this topic, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Python.
Is that because it is a solved problem, thanks to
https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3
and is no longer a challenge?
As someone that has long since soured on frontend things despite having tried everything from the start - mootools, jQuery, backbone.js, SproutCore, Ember, React, Vue, etc.

I genuinely think htmx is the only one I have liked even after I built something substantial in it.

To me that is big, to be able to walk away from a significant amount of time with something and say "yeah! I want to use that again!" instead of some variant of "it's the least bad option" is both rare and cherished so thanks for all the hard work.
> sufficient product telemetry is indistinguishable from surveillance malware

Isn't this mandatory given the restrictions required of them to disallow flying in banned areas?
GL-inet does exactly that.
No, it comes from the legal restrictions of copyright, which forbid making and distributing copies without the permission of the copyright holder. "Library" is not a magic word that exempts you from all copyright restrictions.
> not being able to save a file you've worked on because you ran out of credits would be a serious issue.

Yeah I agree with that, I think I went down the wrong path with credits = individual functions. Ive since seen that Autodesk does a credits system where tokens are used for time using the software. I think thats a much better idea than mine.

The FTC has been more aggressive and actually doing their job under this administration. Idk if this particular case will have a satisfying conclusion, but I'd say the chances are as good as they've ever been.
In all honesty, I think neither one of those are the main measurement you should be using from a business point of view. React has a huge ecosystem, but many packages are out of date or poorly maintained. This means you either still roll your own or you take on the pain of working with the bugs or compat mismatches you inevitably get (looking at you, React 18). On the other end, I would say for the majority of modern web apps, performance doesn't matter too much, so long as it isn't absolutely abysmal. So what are the right metrics, in my subjective opinion? Readability, and by extension refactorability, and ease of iteration. In other words, developer experience, because that will literally save your business actual time and money.
If you're letting the situation go on for 6 years, the problem is you. Call your bank or threaten to sue them, stop being a doormat.
That makes sense. Regulating deployment may simply be the only option available -- literally no other mechanic (besides banning releasing models altogether) is on the menu.
All my food interacts with plastic. I can go to Rainbow Grocery, and they are just doing me the favor of disposing of the plastic packaging somewhere else in the supply chain.

Much plastic dust in my environment is from car tires.

Both my neighbors solve problems with their roofs with disintegrating, $50 plastic tarps from Home Depot, filling my back yard with plastic. Multi million dollar homes in San Francisco!

What am I really supposed to do? Speaking of lead, it's not like the city has forced anyone to replace the exterior lead paint or lead pipes.

You are right, but if it's lead, it's bad news. The problem isn't that pollution is unknown, the problem is that the middle-aged members of my community, maybe every community, fucking suck as soon as something costs them a fucking dime.
I'll build a drone for you with open source components if you are shopping for one, it will cost more than a DJI but less than these other options.
And I don't understand why you would write such a long rant about something that hasn't happened and "get sick of people". Learn to love yourself and you can love others.

I'm happy to pay for quality software, both professional and consumer. With Affinity it took exactly one project to recoup much more than the cost ($50) of the software, and I expect that to be true for 99% of graphics professionals.

> Maybe the company switches to a subscription model, and then updates the ToS to say you owe them an indeterminate amount of money that you never agreed to

Yeah, and then I'll laugh my ass off at them. It's like me writing that anybody who reads this comment owes me a hundred dollars. Now you read it, now you pay. Or not.

Yes. Though I'm having trouble imagining Tim Berners-Lee as an enforcer, able to keep a for-profit side in line, in a post-Altman boardroom.

>The industry can fight with quality or price against Chinese bad products and non Chinese good products, but products that are both Chinese and top notch quality are going to dominate the market because of comparatively lower costs

I think the sooner the west (read US/Canada and Europe, some say Australia/NZ) realized and wake up from their denial the better. Gone are the days of the narrative we're not going to export to you our superior and more expensive products, but now the narrative we're not going to import your superior and cheaper products, how the table are turning 180 degree. It's not uncommon to watch western Youtubers praising the good quality DJI products and at the same being critical of GoPro sub-par quality products, and they're not even reviewing the products but just honest remarks from professional users going about their filming and recording routines.
I have no need for a drone right now, but looks like I'm now in the market for DJI drones, one or two.
I wonder if Framework will also harm the bad-service companies, but making part replacement so easy.
- adding special (useless) features to make their product stand out

If you zoom in on the just the hardware production market then yes sure, although that seems more an artifact of a small number of highly specialized manufacturers than evidence of startup friendliness, otherwise I'd expect to see a bunch of competing manufacturers rather than a handful of huge ones.

In the context of this conversation also, when we say "tech" we're usually talking about much more than just hardware production (especially software). A huge chunk of the value-add is from the software and other use cases that the tech company adds to the hardware. But even just looking at hardware, a ton of that hardware is designed in the US and just sent out for manufacturing. The physical manufacturing is just a piece of the whole.

But even all that aside, none of those major manufacturers seem to be in Europe, so I don't see how even zooming in on the hardware makes a point about Europe not having barriers and/or friction.

As an aside, to be clear, I'm not making any value judgments here by saying just because things are done somewhere means that is better. There's a lot more to the equation than just that, which is easily illustrated with a hypothetical example. If you enslaved a population you could get a lot of business by doing things cheaply, but it obviously wouldn't be a "better" place just because it's the easiest/cheapest place to get business is done.

> No, I'm saying that we don't need rich people to help our cause, because non-rich people are the super majority.

So, we agree on that.

We just have different perceptions of who "the rich" are.

A software engineer making $100K/yr (in a low cost of living part of the US, not in silicon valley) is not "the rich", but these people often have multiple apartments. I know first hand since many my of my friends are in this demographic.

> Sure, multibillionaires are above it all.

It doesn't take a multibillionaire to own more than one house/apt. It just takes a middle class income person in many parts of the country.

> And if someone breaks into the house you live in, there's no place in the world where that person has legal protections.

Ended up watching a few news reports from Spain to understand these home invasions better.

Here's one example where an 80 year old woman left the house she was actively living in for only two days to visit her son elsewhere. After coming back two days later the house had been invaded. The police say they can't do anything. That they supposedly have to wait 24 hours (then changed to 48 hours) and start a judicial process. Even though this was her primary residence and was only gone two days.

With ThreadQuilt, you get a cleaner, more focused experience that highlights the best parts of the web's conversations. Check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback would mean the world to me as I continue to improve and expand the site. Happy threading!
It was time for the regularly scheduled Rust advertisement again.
Yes, as a long-time fixed-wing RC hobbyist, it's generally the newbie idiots who do stupid things that threaten the entire hobby. Despite all the new rules (which I don't even bother to keep up with anymore), I still fly my planes like I always have. And just like always, I don't bother anyone and no one bothers me.
From an architecture perspective you need to understand the sources, the kinds of data they provide and the frequency. Then you need to decide if you sync, async or batch, how and when.

Then you look at what standards/protocols they use and architect for that
Pretty smart, HVAC goes up in demand the more climate change eats away at the environment.

Maybe, that remains to be seen yet. I do however have high hopes for durable execution as a model even if Temporal doesn't end up being the eventual winner.

That's how banned book sales work in China: the books don't sell well until the government bans them, and then everyone wants them after that (and can easily get them since China's black market is pretty open).
He applies the word to more than just that kind of 2 sided market. https://doctorow.medium.com/googles-enshittification-memos-2...

In his own words the enshitificstion of Google is: “curse of bigness.”

> With no growth from new customers, and no growth from new businesses, “growth” has to come from squeezing workers (say, laying off 12,000 engineers after a stock buyback that would have paid their salaries for the next 27 years), or business customers (say, by colluding with Facebook to rig the ad market with the Jedi Blue conspiracy), or end-users.

Amazon documenting the fact that users were unknowingly signing up for Prime and getting pissed; then figuring out how to reduce accidental signups, then deciding not to do it because it liked the money too much.

How did a company like Unity — … — turn into a protection racket?

So, while he may describe Enshittification as platform decay he’s not limiting its use to such.
HTMX is like a glimpse into the road not taken, where HTML is the main language of the web instead of JS. Sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side, and I hope as an industry we make the switch.
Show HN: Token price calculator for 400+ LLMs
Hey HN! Tokencost is a utility library for estimating LLM costs. There are hundreds of different models now, and they all have their own pricing schemes. It’s difficult to keep up with the pricing changes, and it’s even more difficult to estimate how much your prompts and completions will cost until you see the bill.

Tokencost works by counting the number of tokens in prompt and completion messages and multiplying that number by the corresponding model cost. Under the hood, it’s really just a simple cost dictionary and some utility functions for getting the prices right. It also accounts for different tokenizers and float precision errors.

Surprisingly, most model providers don't actually report how much you spend until your bills arrive. We built Tokencost internally at AgentOps to help users track agent spend, and we decided to open source it to help developers avoid nasty bills.
There is no agreed definition of what an open source AI model is.

I guess if the models you mention would have to be packaged in Debian, they would end up in the non-free section, since you cannot rebuild them from the training data, which is not published.
This just makes it worse. It's so much harder to get JSON output when it's RLHF'd to give a bunch of flowery language BS.
how other providers (gmail) work in this case?..
That's not trivial...
You don't need to phone home in order to implement no-fly zones. All you need to do is download the latest flight restrictions, which could most easily be done anonymously.
Protectionism, like industry subsidies, is a double-edged sword.

- On the one hand, as SE Asia is intimately familiar with, it can create space to create globally competitive industries.

- On the other hand, it can also remove the incentive for local industries to invest and become technically competitive.

IMHO, what I'd like to see would be a stricter link between protection measures and R&D investment.

If an industry is protected, then it is required to prove it's improving itself + limit returns to shareholders.

E.g. steadily increasing CAFE fuel efficiency standards, requirements to demonstrate decreasing costs of production (lumber and/or steel), etc.

Too often, protection measures are implemented, the excess benefits are skimmed and go directly to shareholders, and the company doesn't increase its global competitiveness (e.g. US Steel).

What I heard (third hand knowledge) is that the DJI Android software stack can't handle AABs and for some reason it's easier for them to just get people to sideload instead of fixing their toolchain.
It's tires. Millions of cars and their tire wear for literally the last hundred years. How can it not be in our bodies and causing issues at this point.
> The production database will be different than the "testing Postgres instance", leading to bugs.

It never happened to me to be honest. This reads an argument for "if you can’t do perfect, just do it badly" but it’s nonsense. Running tests against a local Postgres instance with the same major.minor version and same extensions as your prod instance WILL work.

And testing your storage layer against the database is probably the most reliable safety net you can add to an app.

It isn’t. It’s exactly the same. The only difference is that Bilt provides an ACH account number / routing number for one payment per month: rent. And if you can’t ACH, they’ll mail a check for you.

675 zinc-air batteries run a UP hearing aid for an impressively long time. Days to weeks, depending on age of the battery and how much use it see. I'm surprised the chemistry doesn't see much use outside of hearing aids. For something where long downtime is undesirable, replaceable batteries are a lot nicer than rechargeable.
> But at what point do we run out of training data?

Isn't the training itself very dependent on each algorithm. Even if you somehow gathered all the plausible training data, you'd have to run it through again for most improvements of your system.

But there are trends to look at in this direction: changes in the training that make it much, much faster; And processors which become more effective (fewer of them needed).

So anyway, very long term, sure. For now, doesn't seem to be a problem.

For that matter, for now, there is not only building new data centers, but also upgrading existing ones to the more efficient processors.
A friend had a commercial paper tape reader (don't recall who made it) from the S-100/8080/CP-M homebrew era built exactly like that. It was the 'inexpensive' version (they had motorized versions), and was finicky but worked OK for small amounts of code. CP/M actually has a built-in papertape reader device in bios called RDR: (tho it was often repurposed for other kinds of devices).
The FTC is on a rampage lately.

Even as somebody relatively familiar with inertial navigation, it took me almost the entire article to figure out that that's what this is doing.

I really wish the words "inertial navigation" or "dead reckoning" would have occurred at least once in the article, but obviously "quantum navigation" sounds much cooler and as an added bonus makes it sound more like magic than technology.
There are tons of use cases for GPGPU, the compute world isn't only about Pytorch and Tensorflow.

And even with middleware, turns out CUDA has the best debugging tooling, followed by DirectCompute/DirectML and Metal.
Planes have inertial measurement units which are the primary source. GPS or GNSS are just backups. You can switch these off with zero consequence during the flight. It may cause your satellite TV and internet to stop working but no critical systems will be impacted.

Russian airplanes are commercially purchased from the same sources as the rest of the world and are generally outfitted with identical equipment.

The impacts to flights has to do with certain types of GPS coordinated instrument approaches for landings. Most of these runways have alternative approach strategies that can be used during jamming or other unavailability.
But the problem is less with the source material and more with the execution of the movie. Look at Game of Thrones and what happened when they ran out of source material.

That is because that is exactly what happened. It was tried, people went too far and tried to build entire applications in FaaS and it was largely unsuccessful.

I am probably the farthest from a fan of serverless but I have developed some appreciation for all the tech that went into it and have found some good use-cases for serverless and serverless like things.

The one I am most bullish on is serverless at the edge. Edge compute is too expensive when provisioned the traditional way (as static reserved memory + CPU etc) and the kind of tasks you want to do at the edge (request manipulation, early AuthZ, etc) are amenable to serverless requirements/limitations.
Cloudflare Workers is what I am primarily familiar with but I imagine Lambda@Edge and Fastly's solution are similar.

Is serverless dead? No. But the hype around building whole apps on Lambda and that actually being good is.
The economic case for nuclear is mostly what keeps it from being built in the USA. The USA built a lot of nuclear power plants in the 70s/80s, and they didn't really pay off even with the government providing free insurance coverage. Likewise, today it is even harder to make the case for a new nuclear power plant since renewables are much cheaper on a kW basis.

Chinese regulation is neither too high nor too low. It would be impossible to build a nuclear plant if the government didn't firmly back it, otherwise there are no barriers that it can't ignore.
