I went to use ApplePay, and Siri repeatedly stepped over it, and wanted to have a conversation instead.

I just want to be the genuine me with a limited number of people, and say as little as necessary, because people don't like to be flooded with boilerplate.

In fact, HOW one summarizes has a tremendous effect on the results, as in posts that must be 4 paragraphs or less, for copyright reasons.

AI, in my opinion, should be used for "algorithmic" things that replace immense amounts of tedious work, such as identifying and categorizing photos, where the downside of a goof is trivial.

Good outcomes, especially where accuracy really matters, demand independent checking, and the fact that AI is being run on the least powerful chip in the arsenal is worrisome.

It doesn't even take AI to ask "Do you really want to send this email to the entire company?" but I have to worry when AI is composing the email, and I have to scrutinize it for gaffes. We all have brains smart enough to say what we mean the first time (perhaps with some iterations). Otherwise, we're just literary critics. I like statements and discussions that have real meaning, where nuance matters.

Be careful what you outsource. Better a creator than a proofreader, IMO.

Creativity is somewhat opposite of coming up with the next most likely word or words in a sequence.

That is a really good comparison - in the dot com bubble, money got thrown at anything that was "an internet business". People would throw up static content sites, get some traffic, and be handed money.

LLMs have absolutely put us in a similar place. People are getting customers/money by saying "Look at our AI-driven features!" But give it 5-10 years, or maybe less, and that will seem silly. People will be using LLMs for focused use cases and making sure they help the end users. You will be evaluated with a higher standard - of what you actually accomplish with your products. Saying your product is "AI-driven..." will be as stilly as saying your product is "RDBMS-driven..." would be today. Because it will be a foundational piece of the tech stack, not a marketing blurb.

I doubt it will be as big of a bubble as the dotcom crash, though. We may all still fall victim to hype cycles, but it is hard to explain just how low the bar was for investment during the original dotcom bubble. We are collectively wiser now, even as we stumble along the way.

You're welcome to use other models; as for me, I started using Claude 3 shortly after it came out and I've never felt like switching to the "competition". Their stance on safety aligns with my take on it, and they don't use user data for training purposes. Matter of fact, I just got my first customer for using AI services last night when I live-coded a demo in front of them, and that was with Opus. I'm thrilled to see what I can do with the new tech! I've been trying it out a little bit this morning but haven't seen much improvement (yet).

This is the major frustration I have with GNOME. I mostly like GNOME and I've been using it for years. Most of the time without extensions. The trackpad controls are great and it's the closest thing we have to macOS.

That said, there are quite a few number of issues that stick out like a sore thumb, only to find that it's not a problem that the community is willing to recognize, let alone fix. I look at the issues and every time I see it getting dismissed as a me issue. That users like me are absolutely clueless.

This has nothing to with HTMX/Hypermedia, this is an issue with SSR. No pure SSR frameworks can do this.

You would do this the same way you would in any other website, have the server send the data required (Hypermedia or not) and use client side JavaScript to do the client side reactivity.

This is like asking why doesn't HTMX allow me to change the colour of a button when I hover over it, why should I have to do this on the client?

> need just _some_ revolutionary approach

That 'revolutionary approach' is making one of the other things that we can recycle very easily cheaper. Plastics are wildly cheap and durable enough for their use. But paper (kinda recyclable), glass (very recyclable), metal (very recyclable) are kind of expensive vs plastic. Taxing it would create a weird perverse thing. The real thing that needs to happen is the remaining 3 things we can recycle easily need to be cheaper. When nat gas became cheaper vs coal (which is really cheap) the energy companies very quickly started switching over to NG.
I’ve always been supportive of open-source and plan to make much of our tech open source [1], but I’m not seeing anything on their site that’s anything like what we’re doing (it alls seems to be large machinery, no microelectronics).

The thing about this field that I’ve learned over the decade I’ve been involved is that creating the tech is less than half the challenge; the distribution - building awareness, selling it, installing it, maintaining it - is a huge undertaking, and a lot of money needs to come from somewhere to make that viable.

[1] I’d like to have a RTOS to run on these devices that is as approachable and familiar as common Linux distros like Ubuntu, for people to install and customise themselves, with a full open source license.

Show HN: Minimalist Recipie Site
A while back I had some spare time and wanted to try out nextjs and postgREST (https://postgrest.org/en/v12/). The results is the www.foodbatch.com website.

Now I don't know what to do with it.. I do use it myself, but I could have multiple subscriptions for the cost of hosting it..

Anyhow, it has left me with some questions. Since typical recipe sites are optimized for SEO, and this site is the anti-thesis of that. How do you actually attract traffic? Besides swallowing your pride and posting on HN.

Also, is there a place for sites like this in our time or should we just give it up to the LLM overlords?

Any feedback appreciated.

It's not like MOND (or even dark matter) are even single theories with a fixed set of predictions. They are groups of competing ever evolving theories. I don't understand the need to believe one over the other as a predictive tool without some conclusive evidence. If you're not the astronomer who makes that measurement (or explains it), it just feels like galactic sports betting.

MOND successfully predicts many things we observe that DM fails to, or that requires special tuning for DM to fit observations (which is not prediction). DM actually has quite a poor predictive record, even if it can be made to fit observation.

MOND as a theory is probably not correct. It's not relativistic for a start, although I believe there are other modified gravity theories that are.

This isn’t specific to NASA or Congress. U.S. Government agencies will utilize whatever budget they are given, period.

There is no incentive to be efficient. If there is leftover money in the final fiscal quarter you are highly encouraged to use every penny, even if that means buying new furniture and office supplies that you don’t really need. Any leftover money will be given to someone else and you will receive a smaller budget the following year.

Not exactly unscrupulous if he wasn't charging insane rents to himself. His business would have to pay rent or mortgage for office space in any case. And the income his other business would get from the rent is taxable as well. At a certain point, he either has to break a law in an egregious manner and hope he does not get caught, or he has to pay taxes. That's the system we put in place when we start setting up income and corporate taxes to prop up a massive federal government.

re: hundred million: I was trying to imply that AMCs can be large but not necessarily always in the billions - it depends on the market size and estimated economic damage of the thing we're trying to incentivize R&D for - though yes, both medical AMCs to date (pneumococcal and covax) were in the billions.

Just to clarify, AMCs aren't the same thing as governments "fixing" the price of R&D with wishful thinking. It's when a government/funder uses epidemiology and economics to calculate the cost of leaving a disease untreated, and agreeing in advance to pay that much for it. That way, if set correctly, companies will invest to develop a solution without fear of being punished by the moral/political forces that make them suppress their prices once the solution is developed.

It's a way to fix the incentives that have left us with a whole class of neglected tropical diseases (firms needing to recoup investments, governments needing to negotiate cheapest possible prices)

> This is just completely untrue, your drinking water is their drinking water.

In the same way that Zuckerburg and other wealthy folks building compounds and large estates in Hawaii, New Zealand, and other enclaves share the same world we do: technically accurate, but realistically it is worlds apart. Business is like water, it will flow through the path of least resistance to achieve profits, with the costs and harm socialized amongst us at scale.

If you are of means, your water is safe, you can afford to make it so (whether that be water filtration, trucked in water, or simply moving elsewhere). If you are not, you are cattle to be squeezed with little regard for water quality and safety, because those who profit will be long gone when the bill comes due (see: 3M [1], Dupont & Chemours [2], etc [3]). 46 million Americans don't have access to safe drinking water today [4], without compounding the problem with pollutants from for profit actors.

Oh, this made me worried about JWST (as it can't be serviced once the gyroscopes break), but I found this:

> To detect changes in direction JWST uses hemispherical resonator gyroscopes (HRG). HRGs are expected to be more reliable than the gas-bearing gyroscopes that were a reliability issue on Hubble Space Telescope. They cannot point as finely, however, which is overcome by the JWST fine guidance mirror.[18]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_bus_(James_Webb_Spa...

So Hubble uses gyroscopes that are more precise but less reliable than the HRGs used in JWST.
