> Think having your own farmer and food-producer in your own house or property

Impossible. The world is too urbanized, there simply is no space to do this for more than a few % of the population.

> Way too-many of the problems plaguing society atm can be solved by reducing transport and eliminating all the huge intermediate steps [...]

Maybe some problems can be solved, many more will be unsolved. Reducing our transport capacity of food increases the vulnerability to crop failures. De-centralizing processing will make it harder (read: more expensive) to test for pathogens, nutrients and ensure hygiene.

> we'll be be contributing less to AGI/automation and creating actual valuable jobs

No, we would be shrinking the GDP by moving labour from highly productive sectors into agriculture. At the same time food will become much more expensive, even more so if those new employees are paid minimum wage.

> and eliminating all the huge intermediate steps between our food (other other food-related products) and ourselves

How? You're simply replacing one set of steps for another, more labor-intensive one. I encourage you to visit one of those museums where people demonstrate how people in the 18th century lived for some perspective.

> we'll be reducing the amount of plastic, fuel and electricity used for transport, storage, processing, packaging,

You didn't quite state the full conditions to achieve this reduction, so I'll do it for you. Basically we have to completely change our diets. Fresh food can only be eaten in season, and only what is locally available. We can only store food that does not need climate control to keep, so in winter there are only conserved vegetables and fruits. Not using any modern packaging and storage methods means that even in season things have to be eaten really quickly.

On the whole, your insinuation that our food distribution is some kind of unnecessary luxury that we can do away with just rubs me the wrong way. It is the reason the amount of people in famine has been dropping every decade despite a population explosion. It ensures that there are no mass-scale outbreaks of botulism, moulds and other pathogens that used to kill lots of people and waste huge quantities of food. Its efficiency (along with high productivity) guarantees that almost everyone can afford to eat sufficient nutrients even through winter.

Sure we could get some of those benefits in your agrarian fantasy, but the cost would be enormous.

Yesterday and early this morning there has luckily been a massive push from Belgian media. The proposal this time around came from the Belgian presidency, so it was up to them to withdraw the vote.

It's unlikely we'll see any admission on why exactly the vote was withdrawn, but it's probable that the situation became untenable for the political parties involved, one of which lost massively in the Belgian elections about two weeks ago.

In an short interview in De Tijd [1] with one of the Belgian MEPs pushing this (Hilde Vautmans, OpenVLD, liberal, lost big), and another short line in De Morgen [2] from outgoing Belgian Minister of the Interior who was part of the talks for this new version (Annelies Verlinden, CD&V, Christian democrats), both of them made it appear like they mostly just care about getting it done (because nobody else has succeeded yet). There is a lot of "but think of the children", and zero technical expertise.

This morning, after the press attention, high rank party officials across the spectrum (and from the parties mentioned above) publicly called the proposal dangerous, so it's likely the pressure worked this time.

Next time this can come up for the vote will likely be from Hungary. They are taking over the EU presidency in a few weeks, and have already said this is on the agenda for them. Considering the current political climate there I would assume they are more likely to bring it to a vote, but hopefully that vote is less likely to succeed. Still, there's no time to rest, the proposal isn't dead.

There are a ton of different ways to promote your app or software. You can run ads, post on social media, send newsletters or try old-school methods like handing out printed flyers.

But one of the most effective (and cheapest) ways to promote your app is through online directories and online communities. However, finding the right communities and directories can be time-consuming.

To save you time, We’ve curated a list of over 350+ launch platforms, slack/ discord communities, subreddits, and other channels where you can share your story, drive traffic, find early adopters, and get that sweet, sweet user feedback.

Hey HN!

Just wanted to share something cool with you: it’s an open source tool called nxs-data-anonymizer that's super handy for managing sensitive data in databases. It helps you anonymize data securely, whether you're working on production setups or testing environments.
If you have a dynamically developing project with a frequently changing database structure, you won’t have to adjust the anonymizer config every time with one of the latest features. Depending on the type of entities in security settings our tool anonymizes the columns for tables with described rules in the filters section. nxs-data-anonymizer allows you to exclude undescribed data from the resulting dump. So, no more worries about leaking sensitive info when you're testing or developing new features.

Also what's neat about it is that the security enforcement rules have become more flexible.
nxs-data-anonymizer release gives you the ability to customize via config file the rules to mask the values in accordance with the type of columns.

Check it out if you're dealing with data security in your projects—it's been a game-changer for us!
We’re looking forward to improving our tool so we’d love to see any feedback, contributions, or report any issues you encounter!
Please join our chat in telegram: https://t.me/nxs_data_anonymizer where you can discuss something about nxs-data-anonymizer and ask any questions in the chat: https://t.me/nxs_data_anonymizer_chat

> In fact, remote and hybrid employees score higher than full-time office workers on all elements of the employee experience, including on culture-adjacent measures like sense of belonging at work and value of relationships with coworkers.

This is being 'phrased' as though full time workers aren't experiencing any or their experience doesn't count. But looking at the charts and how close many of the results are, it appears more that the experience is split across the three types of workers, with remote only just edging out the others.

Bad valuation in contracts doesn't change the big picture. (As it mostly affects office buildings.)

Urbanization is ongoing for hundreds of years (and got absolutely turbocharged since agriculture productivity skyrocketed), but a sufficiently high number of incumbents/voters in cities don't want their city to densify, so they have the resources to block most effective redevelopments.

States, governments, politics mostly managed this by providing more cheap loans/mortgages, and mostly by ignoring the problem, or even by not even believing that the demand is real. (Remember when housing was called a bubble because prices were rising too fast? Yeah, prices are much higher.)

Why not? Assuming you're using a Western metric of what a child is, why does a 17 year old not have the right to private communication, but an 18 year old does?

You should be using the same templates/partials/fragments/components that render in your initial page load as your responses to page updates.

So to render a table you render each row from a row component - then in response to updating a row in the table your backend end point returns the row component and then htmx swaps it out and rebinds everything.

Also, one big aim of htmx and this approach is to remerge the backend and frontend, like the old days.

This is the aim of HATEOS (hypermedia as the engine of state) and if you came up in web dev in the past 12 years or so then it’s going to feel very alien.

This appears true not just where the stakes are high, like in startups, but everywhere.

It may deter some of the accusatory comments and give the passerby a more accurate impression.
> Meanwhile, transformers do learn things

That's the question though, do they? One way of looking at gen AI is as a highly efficient compression and search. WinRAR doesn't learn, neither does Google - regardless of the volume of input data. Just because the process of feeding more data into gen AI is named "learning" doesn't mean that it's the same process that our brains undergo.

This is one of the things that irks me the most: The abusive, emotional "mislabeling". Children have nothing to do with this, and it is an abuse of public good faith to mislabel these sort of initiatives using "children" as leverage, preying upon a tech-lliterate public.-

In fact, that is also an issue here: The public needs to be brought up to speed (technically) and/or we should at least demand technical expertise from our politicians, when legislating or acting upon mainly technological issues.-
