> Macs do have a much more premium feel to them, but I've had great experiences with cheap laptops. Even if I drop it, shucks, I'm out 750$, not 3k.

Not to mention that feeling premium doesn't mean that it is more durable. I used to joke that those cheap plastic bodies found on cheap products did a much better job of protecting a device from the shock of a fall than the glass and metal bodies of premium feeling products.

And while my experience with Macs is dated, I had an optical drive in one that refused to accept disks because there was a minor bend in the case. That machine never suffered from a fall, though it was likely a result of how I stuffed the machine into my book bag.

> were always possible before

It’s a question of viability not possibility here.

Dropping costs by 95+% dramatically changes things. So, you can “make a strong business proposition” for stuff that was never going to happen with the old method. Consider the economics around scam phone calls when long distance phone calls cost more than 2$/minute. They still happened but it was vastly more targeted and therefore orders of magnitude less common.

Now apply that same logic to facial recognition etc and suddenly new types of surveillance will become commonplace.
Sure. They're maxing out production of renewables and supplementing with nuclear. As renewable production ramps, it displaces more nuclear. We're doing the same thing, except with natural gas. If we could deploy infinite renewable energy instantly, that would obviously be preferable. But we can't. So China gets nukes and we get gas. Almost certainly for the next 50 years. (Good luck to whoever has to fight natural gas's lobbyists in ten years when they think the brand-new LNG terminals are going to go down without a fight.)

It’s definitely an interesting notion. I would also say that there must have been some correlation between wider availability of plastics and brands like OXO using them for production. They might say it’s a nicer tool to hold, and maybe it is, but plastics are also much, much cheaper to manufacture and need to be replaced more often, so they’re great for corporate profits.

To an untrained eye, it all looks the same really. There is no artistic style here that you can clearly see in any decent museum of fine arts. It really does just look like photoshop filters.

Not sure the power costs of running a model like this over the caloric costs of a human + the power to power their photoshop machine, for instance, is worth it.
Hmm if they are passing this as a "treaty" of some sort then the head of state Council might still need to confirm it even if it passes. At least I hope so.

When I first learned react and web programming, I was very confused about this! React was advertised as fast! From reading react docs, articles, tutorials etc. There was a concept called "fiber" that was around the corner that would make websites even faster; it had demos where pixels would dance around the screen. I didn't grasp what made it faster, but assumed it was doing some binary magic in the web browser!

I learned more, and ended up writing my own react-like framework in Rust/WASM. (Seed).

Now, I program in HTML, CSS, and JS. If the project triggers a certain complexity threshold, I'll bring in TS.

React advertising itself as fast was a lie.

Even if there was no Bible, it is clear as crystal to anybody who thinks about it that humans are in a category of our own. Any animal that could do even a thousandth of what people are capable of would be the most extraordinary animal.

It is also crystal clear that animals have consciousness. A person would have to be without much consciousness themselves to think otherwise, in my opinion.
Well maybe but obviously that subreddit is going to be biased towards stories of collapse, rather than telling the whole story. Those stories are terrifying and I’m also of the opinion that things are worse than we realize, but I also think that despite the many human and environmental catastrophes that climate change will continue to cause, society will persist.

Yep, enormously frustrating. Search 'minecraft granite' and the top result is still Fandom.

No, that's a real stretch. Jimmy Wales is barely involved in Wikipedia, and certainly has no say in editorial policy like that.

Yes but the DOM is the render target for React and hence the V. Just because it's a complicated way to talk to the screen doesn't mean it's not doing that.

> If the western world wants to claim it’s better, it needs to actually be better

It's fairly easy and we already are.

For example, free speech. I guarantee you the videos I linked will be removed from Kuaishou in a couple weeks for "unspecific legal reasons".

Or the fact that we can protest without having to put pretentions about why we protest.

Or the fact that we can have this very discussion on HN without being banned.

Or the fact that you don't have to jump through hoops to find information in almost every case.

Or the fact that if you feel your speech is being infringed upon, you can actually work with the civil society actor of your choice to litigate.

Or the fact that the poorest states of the US have a higher HDI than all of China (let alone most of China's provinces).

At the end of the day, we need to remember that civil liberties are the steroid needed for innovation.

The West's:

- free speech helped it productionize LLMs well before China

- support of a liberal democracies and alliances helped diffuse semiconductor technologies like Lithography, EDAs, and Wafers to European (ASML, STMicro, Infineon), Japanese (Tokyo Electron, Nikon), South Korean (Samsung, SK Group, LG), Taiwanese (TSMC, PSMC), and Israeli (Tower) companies and partners, building out a global supply chain

- support for social diversity allowed a naturalized Germany from Turkey and a naturalized American from Hungary to invent and productize mRNA vaccines

- concentration on mutual development that lead to ADB, WB, EU, and IMF grants that helped stabilize and develop China, India, Brazil, Turkey, Vietnam, and Indonesia economies from LDCs to Middle Income countries

Concentrating on shoring up our allies (existing and upcoming) and well as recognizing that we are the part of the same team will allow us as a whole succeed as a society. There's no reason for the "Free World" to be American run alone

- Japan+SK+Taiwan+Australia have a massive footprint in democratizing and liberalizing much of Asia

- the EU plays a massive role in democratizing much of Eastern and Southern Europe

- Countries in the Americas like Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina are still flawed, yet are much freer than they were 30 years ago after the US adopted it's change in policy
If you can do that at scale, it sounds like you have a viable business. There is clearly a demand for it.
If you are averaging axels across multiple carriages slippage is unlikely to amount to much. Moreover, because you are traveling known segments, you can reset your position at each station or known intersection/detectable segment terminus, so you're going to have zero accrued drift at that point. It's a perfect deployment scenario for an odometer based solution. If you want to be higher confidence, sensor-fusion with an IMU, laser TOF/LIDAR, camera, ambient light sensor, radio signals, or MEMS microphone can verify position. Et voila! - no need for GNSS.
Believe me, I know. We were manually diffing in a previous version before React came along and it was a shitshow.

The primary initial benefit with React was an improvement in reliability. Our previous implementation (in Backbone IIRC) wasn’t doing it quite right. Having it built into React was a gamechanger. Then with judicious use of shouldComponentUpdate you could minimize the amount of VDOM thrashing required.

I know at one point we explored immutable.js to make the diffing super efficient but the DX was pretty bad. I’m excited for JS to get records and tuples at some point and make that all way simpler. But for now it feels like shouldComponentUpdate and PureComponent are a lost art of React, few do it.

Yeah. LibRedirect is a nice generalist tool, but for wikis you are better off with Indie Wiki Buddy[1] which is a community led tool to point to the best avaialble wiki, or breeze if there isn't one. You def want this because some communities have made it a point to poison the fandom pages (see Terraria which is full of fake items and crafting recipes now).

There are many places on Wikipedia that explain exactly why.

The short answer is, because it costs time and effort, and a little bit of money, to maintain all those articles, and they cause more problems than they are worth.

Entity Framework (both Core and legacy) does that, also DbUp uses migrations table for those that prefer lighter ORMs.

Enshittification is when a company offers an amazing product, but once they have a hold over the market, they make it worse and squeeze customers. It works because customers are so locked in and there are market forces stopping them from switching to a competitor.

Frontend development is not being enshittified. We have so many frameworks that you can switch to if React isn't your cup of tea. Hell, you can use Astro and use React, Vue, Svlete, etc and it renders to HTML. HTMX is a new framework and easy to pivot too since React devs know JSX.

React is also silently borrowing ideas from Svelte and Solid.js (and those were inspired from React) so all these frameworks are improving each other without even knowing it.
Anti-hate speech got you? What were you trying to say exactly? One can go on X right now and spew any hate speech that one wants.

BTW, I am not for this regulation in any way. I just don't see the connection to hate speech.

I am a user of both Wikipedia and Fandom, Vampire Survivors Wiki[1] in particular. I would very much prefer to read niche articles on Wikipedia.

I can understand strict rules about reliable sources, independent point of view, or fighting SEO/spam. Still, satellite wikis could exist. Or Portals could serve as some workaround to the notability rule. Or something else.

Wikipedia is by nerds and largely for nerds, I'm sure allowing nerdy topics there would help everyone in the long run.

> Of course you can believe that all investors and the entire country of China is delusional

I have been doing that for as long as I've been familiar with the cycles of venture capital and authoritarianism, respectively. Why did China spend billions of dollars promoting cryptocurrency on the global stage only for their investments to go unrequited? Because trends come and go, and powerful people would rather look like they're ahead than actually do something actually novel.

The original thread you submit borders on hysteria and suggests to me that you lack perspective on how other people in the world live. Things will be fine.

The basic idea is that genome modifications can be inherited with the genome. Methylation is one example; histone mods are another.

I loved React when it first came out. I never got into MVC frameworks like Backbone or Angular because they felt too heavy, but React came as a promise that it was only the View layer and that provided a lot cohesion, as you say, compared to too much jQuery.

But now it just feels so heavy and that the initial elegance has been lost to history entirely.
I won't disagree with your summary. Points 1 and 3 are more supported than point 2, but "trends come and go more quickly" seems both intuitively correct, and supported by the data.
I am so thankful that Signal Foundation exists, and refuses to be bullied.
Yay for the Minecraft wiki migration! I was so annoyed by having to use Wikia while creating a minecraft scavenger hunt for my partner when wanting to do things with redstone or light level spawnproofing.

Opening the wiki now on the domain they host themselves, it is also very noticeably faster to click around. Sounds like a big win for the Minecraft community and kudos on doing such a large migration! Having tried to migrate Telegram groups to Signal, among a group of people studying IT security no less, it became very clear to me how hard it is to migrate communities
It goes hand in hand with Wikipedia's stricter source requirements. You would need to source all the information from books and news articles (from a select choice of reliable sites decided by wikipedia editors). Essentially Wikipedia's definition of notable is 3 reliable sources writing about the topic. So it's really more about reliability (or, what Wikipedia admins consider reliable) than notability.

> We learnt the value of free speech the hard way, and very slowly

Did we though? Unfortunately outside the US and a handful of other places free speech doesn't seem to be valued that much, often it's even viewed as a threat (and I'm not talking about authoritarian regimes). It's a double-edged sword to be fair, enabling misinformation and chaos.
There are a number of declarative schema management tools, which operate on a repo of desired-state CREATE statements. No need to write up/down migrations or predicates/actions. You just have CREATE statements, and can modify them in-place, and the schema management tool figures out the appropriate DDL to transform any live database into the desired state. Conceptually this has many advantages for managing tables [1] as well as stored procedures (and functions, triggers, etc) [2].

My tool Skeema, first released in 2016, provides declarative schema management for hundreds of MySQL/MariaDB based companies, including GitHub, SendGrid, Cash App, Wix, Etsy, and many others you have likely heard of. Safety is the primary consideration throughout all of Skeema's design: https://www.skeema.io/docs/features/safety/

For Postgres, a few declarative solutions include sqldef, Migra, Tusker (which builds on Migra), and Atlas.

Distilling my thoughts on 'debiasing' here, and in a variety of other modern endeavors.

It is better to have representations of reality that you can then discuss and grapple with honestly, than to try to distort representations - such as AI - to make them fit some desired reality and then pressure others to conform their perception to your projected fantasy.

Representations don't create reality, and trying to use representations in that way only causes people to go literally insane, and to divide along lines of who accepts and who rejects your fantasy representation.

So, for example, if you try and remove any racial bias from AI, you are going to end up crushing the AI's ability to represent reality according to a variety of other real factors: income, judicial outcomes, health risks, etc. Your desired reality makes the actual tool worthless, except to confirm one group's own intended fantasy world as they envision it. The problem doesn't get dealt with, it just becomes impossible to think about or discuss.

So instead of dealing with real problems, you hope you can simply prevent people from thinking thoughts that cause those problems by wrapping them in a bubble that deflects those thoughts before they happen. This is magical, wizardry thinking: treating words as if they create reality, instead of merely describing it. And it will break, eventually, and in a very ugly way: people dividing along lines of their perception of reality, even more than they already do.

Harari gave me some insights when he explained that when humans lived closer to nature, as hunter gatherers, we tended to see the continuum of life on earth. "God" was in everything. After the advent of agriculture and animal husbandry it became necessary to change our views in order to raise animals to slaughter and eat them.

Religions after that time separated humans from the rest of the animal kingdom and provided the justification we needed from a "higher power".
