The homepage left me confused, and also after reading the documentation, I'm not sure what this is.

I tinkered a bit to try it myself.

Turns out you can throw this into your website and it will display "Hello World":

<script type="module" src="https://pyscript.net/releases/2024.8.2/core.js"></script>
<script type="py">
import js
js.document.querySelector("body").innerText = "Hello World"
</script>

So it seems to be a script that looks for scripts of type "py" and transpiles them from Python to JavaScript via Pyodide?

On the other hand, the demo on the homepage is a repl. And the title says "platform". So I'm still confused.
Function specific offices typically only exist for roles that can be done alone. Sales is a great example; it benefits from the competitive atmosphere, but sales people aren’t generally sharing leads or collaborating on deals. That, like engineering, is actually a role that could work just fine WFH.

But many others cannot.
I think mouse feed is probably the healthiest diet according to mouse models.
> Sure, this would give rise to some schemes of "how do I squirrel away my bonuses, in case they come after me tomorrow", but hubris & the unpredictability of this would still lead to some big, eye watering examples. Which would have the necessary deterrent effect.

The simple solution to such games is the same as with other monetary fines for individuals: if you can't pay the fine, you go to jail.
I recently found out that Bytedance was scraping a website of mine over and over again. I don't care about their stupid AI crawler scanning my cheapo server, but they were hitting the same files from different IP addresses, all from the same /56 China Telecom subnet.

I added a firewall rule to block the subnet and that seems to have worked. Earlier attempts involving robots.txt failed and my logs still got spammed by all the HTTPS requests when I blocked the bots in Nginx.

I don't understand how you could write a scraper like that and not notice that you're downloading the same files over and over again.
I think a core problem with executives talking about success (or lack thereof) is that they tend to attribute their success purely to their skills or something they did, whereas in reality there is usually a good amount of luck and just "being at the right place at the right time".

Which is also why these people often cannot replicate their previous successes.
You could also do the same thing with a high-level language. Your LLM is nothing more than an interactive optimizer.
Sure, we can all do some interpreting on their comment which fits our narratives, but that's missing the point.

If they made the exact comment you did, it would've been a good addition to a discussion about the usability of the provided tool. They didn't do that. They just wrote a single short sentence dismissing all of the work of the creator of the application for some reason that wasn't actually explained. Which is why I don't understand that type of comment.
Pax Americana is a farce. There was always war going on and America was always involved, and for their own imperial interests.

This narrative that the US are the good guys and they are the police of the world is the propaganda of the empire. It's coolaid.

I don't think the Chinese or whatever other empire comes will be better.

But this Pax Americana is just lies. Go tell Vietnam, Chile, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on about it.
Looks like you somehow signed up for the IRL equivalent of the roast meta and kudos for taking it in stride.
Borlands tools were mostly used by business professionals. Sure they sold at discount to students/ hobbyists etc but professionals were the core of their market. It wasn't cheap software.

The Mac market (until very recently) was predominantly for home not business use.

I don't know, I am not an expert, but I can say for sure it wasn't just "they did something left wing".

My main point the attacks happened for some other reason, it could be more noble but could also be more ulterior like economic control etc. They aren't a raging lunatic that attacks anyone who tries to do left wing things, at worst they are a cold calculating evil villain that manipulates the world to their own benefit.
Well it's primarily driven by what's going on in China, not what's going on the US.
The prior three decades were driven by the line of thought that a prosperous economy tends towards democracy and that prosperity prevents war.
Allied to this, the expectation was that this would be mutually beneficial with both parties pursuing it in good faith.

Since then, it's become clear it's not the case. China have found the loopholes, their lack of IP (intellectual property rights) enforcement and government corporate espionage have shown the relationship is asymmetric and to the detriment of the US.

Xi has also strengthened his hold on power dramatically, breaking with his predecessors gradual loosening of control. This leads to more risk of irrational ideological driven decisions such as war, maintaining prosperity is no longer necessarily the main driving factor.

Intelligence around Chinese military build up around Taiwan are concerning evidence of this.
The Chinese economy's rapid growth is also slowing.
Here are some reasons:
1. Firefox is supported by Google because otherwise there will be a monopoly and Google doesn't want to be called a monopoly.

2. You can't donate to Firefox development. You can donate to Mozilla Foundation who owns Firefox. But there are no guarantees that your money will go to Firefox development. Mozilla spends money left and right, including luxury life of management, and only a fraction goes into Firefox development. Mozilla could allow direct donations like they did with Thunderbird but they woldn't.

3. Mozilla Foundation acquired an ads company in 2024 and afterwards released "privacy preserving ads measurement" feature which is turned ON by default. There was a great discussion here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40966312

4. Firefox is also switching to manifest v3 and thus crippling ad blockers.

For these reasons I'd prefer to avoid Firefox, it's no better. I can only hope that https://ladybird.org/ or some other will get enough funding and talent to make a real alternative. Sending prayers and donations to ladybird for now.
Are you really claiming that there aren't as smart Chinese engineers as in the US? China is very capable of innovating on its own just like Europe and the US. There are even many Chinese that go to US universities and leave after graduation back to China.

This specific to the submission is uninstalled normally (can be uninstalled by the user), I understand.

Otherwise one could try:

I have to research about how effective the above is (uninstall only for this user - what you can do with "system" packages) to remove spyware.
> China has no reason to take over Taiwan militarily.

That's your opinion, not theirs. The CCP has staked its legitimacy on their ability to "unify China" (take Taiwan by force) and they've been spending a great deal of money to develop the necessary military capability. This is true whether or not you think their desire seems rational.

And by the way, it's not about computer chips. It never was. The computer chips thing is techy tunnel vision, tech people see the tech thing as the important thing, but China has wanted to take over Taiwan for far longer than Taiwanese chips have been at all relevant. It's not about chips; it's about national pride, prestige, and face.

Yes, and from the article it seems that the author also agrees. However from my reading the leadership was so top-down and closed minded that if you said this the best case is that you’d be told you’re wrong and it was completely achievable because they felt that it should be.

Hm, thanks for the argument, I guess I'm turning it into semantics; filecoin and "permissioned block chains" sound more like reputation / web of trust systems.

> What gets me is that this is not something to win on the battlefield - this is something where we (being liberal democracies) need to double down on liberal democracy- both the production of wealth and the use of that wealth to raise the living standards of all its citizens - in other words if we think freedom is better we make it so fucking obvious we live in utopia it’s painful.

I could definitely get behind this. Sadly it doesn’t seem to be what people want, at least not here in Sweden. The dominant branch of political thought is more like something something power of government and Swedish culture.
Exactly this - show me something and I can tell the AI what I don't like or what it is missing.

Equally, you can ask the GenAI to keep asking you questions to broaden its knowledge of the problem you are solving, and also ask it to research the issues customers are having with a current solution.

Some engineers seem to imagine any non coder using AI will behave very simply 'make me a new search engine' . Lots of very clever people (who just don't know how to or want to learn to code) will be picking up the skills to use AI as it gets better and better.

I can see AI being used to write far better requirements and produce amazing prototypes - but if you work at a megacorp, chances are (for now) they will want that code rewritten by a 'human' developer.
China will probably catch up in chip manufacturing and microchip design even without invading Taiwan though.

There's just too many of them, and there'll always be diminishing returns, so at some point what they do will be alright even if it is slightly behind.
"it is not actionable"

Yeah this part really sucks, top of the line premium journalism leads to something like the Panama papers... no consequences whatsoever. So we get to know the world is shit, but nothing will be done about it whatsoever.

If there was some renaissance where actual journalism resulted in a series of deeper investigations on perceived jerks' deeper crimes, then maybe it would make a comeback
We used both at university, for designing UI and corresponding events Borland's dev studio was easily 10x faster to design if your UI was a bit more complex, especially if you are not very familiar with whole ecosystem.

MS design of their stuff in those years was often... shitty on multiple levels to be polite, ie MFC comes to mind, over-complicated for no good benefit. People jumped to literally anything else if they could, be it Borland for C/C++, Java had much saner object-oriented design model too (which could be compiled to native code with native UI if needed, since their default stuff didn't look the best).

The yt-dlp application functions better alongside ffmpeg, so I recommend installing that too. If on Linux, whatever is available via one's package manager /should/ do the trick.

Note, the project does make mention there are issues [1] with "standard ffmpeg", and is therefore minting custom builds [2][3] of ffmpeg, with additional patches applied.

No, they wouldn't. They are you. If you have a 401(k), you probably have shares of some of these companies -- likely hundreds if not thousands of different companies. You don't have time to investigate each of their inner workings and if one of them was convicted of mass murder and fully imploded causing their share price to go to zero, you would typically lose a fraction of a percent of your portfolio and might not even notice.
Capitalism (or rather 'free' in the technical sense markets) solve a coordination problem. They don't solve the tragedy of the commons (unless you start paying people not to polute the commons, but that is very perverse).

They are by far our best bet at solving large coordination problems through price signals. Even though they are far from perfect. I do believe that free markets require capitalism (i.e. profits go to the owner of the capital rather than those who do the labour). But nothing there is against strong regulation, collective bargaining, and anti-trust. Nor is there anything about companies being soley beholden to their shareholders.

Also, 'free' markets can only exist with a whole bunch of regulation, and even then some markets (e.g. emergency care) can never be free.
That's a moral argument. In the west we believe liberal values are the best , and we want them around the world. As such, authoritarianism is a priori an enemy

Not necessarily. The Trojan Horse wasn’t so disastrous because it was filled with way more soldiers. It was because they had penetrated all of the defenses and had the element of surprise.

Iran just sent I-don’t-know-how-many drones and missiles at Israel like a few months ago. A few of them landed, but most were caught and intercepted in the air. Here’s the thing: if even one of them had hit, say, the center of Tel Aviv, or the old city in Jerusalem, it would have been a massively successful attack, even if none of the other ones had done any damage. The size of zero armies was measured in that exchange.
While having a sabnzbd+*arr setup isn't particularly difficult to a technical person, the general opacity of its underlying workings (NNTP? News articles, providers? Block accounts?) has kept lawyers outside of USENET for decades.
I wish you were right about this.

But then again, why does the US risk going to war with China over Taiwan?

You think it's because democracy, liberty and or human rights?

It is very obviously strong geopolitical interest.

10k requests per second has historically been a lower challenge to overcome than 10k concurrent sessions on a single box. 10k concurrent sessions was the historic design goal for standing up Node.js 15 years ago.

For everything high traffic and/or concurrency related my go to solution is dedicated sockets. Sockets are inherently session-oriented which makes everything related to security and routing more simple. If there is something about a request you don’t like then just destroy the socket. If you believe there is a DOS flood attack then keep the socket open and discard its messaging. If there are too many simultaneous sockets then jitter traffic processing via load balancer as resources become available.
> The Swedish PS has an enourmous budget and has very little to show for it. It should be reformed.

Same goes for Germany. It's also a system heavily under critique. There are something like 20 public tv stations and 50 public broadcasts but they all cater to a rather narrow audience of age 50+ people with lots of folk music, old shows and whatnot. Young people are not represented. It's a shame, there could be so much good stuff out there.

>So imagine a non-arrogant programmer that actually does what you want

I was perturbed by the way some google programmers behaved during and after I had an issue, and so feel confident saying that yes, they are probably mostly arrogant as hell in google. However, Im annoyed at this statement.
Not all programmers are, you just mostly hired arrogant ones.

American interventionism in the Cold War largely got started under Eisenhower. His administration’s policy could be best described as a reaction against Soviet moves (or perceived Soviet moves) in the countries affected. And so by engaging in regime change, the rationale was that this prevented that state from aligning with the Soviets. This seems to have worked in many cases but not in others, but I won’t get into the historical details here.

The point is that lot of people seem to forget that the USSR wasn’t sitting at home, either, and was deliberately funding political actions around the world as a part of the Cold War. Whether that “justifies” US interventionism is a different question, but people seem to talk about it as if the US was acting in a vacuum.
As someone who's been working with them a lot at the moment I'm going to say that the problems that google has are not anything to do with tensorflow or programming language theory and everything to do with the fact that the place is absolutely jam-packed with MBAs and other ex-McKinsey-type professional meeting attendees. This is really apparent if you are reasonably senior in an enterprise and deal with google as a vendor.

Every meeting I attend with them has one or two engineers[1] struggling to breathe because there are at least 6 or 7 sales people, relationship managers or other non-doing non-technical middle-management spreadsheet jockeys stealing all the oxygen in the room.[2]

I can only imagine how terrible it is to work there given that these folks have all the power internally. I've genuinely never dealt with an organization that seems this bad.

[1] who are usually pretty good.

[2] It's an internal joke at my enterprise how every meeting another new person from google shows up introduces themselves as head of some other microscopic facet of the corporate relationship.
The incentives in finance are remarkably well-tuned to rewarding employee effort. Make the company 300k? You get 30k. Make the company 300 million? You get 30 million.
Another way to cool things down is to make taking Taiwan infeasible.

For example, if Taiwan built nuclear weapons, then the whole invasion idea is cooked and won't ever be worth it and you can't say 'Oh, America is over there' because it's all Taiwan and then nobody needs to care about this anymore.
> "doubling down on liberal democracy" got us to where we are now wrt China.

Banning all the paths to growth got the US to where it is now. Everything China did to out-compete the US was illegal in the US - the working conditions wouldn't have passed muster, the environmental damage wouldn't have been acceptable, the investment in cheap energy was off the agenda and the focus on heavy industry was broadly against the policy position which focused on financialisation and growing service industries.

We can argue until the cows come home which policies were the important ones (it is clear that some of what China does is counterproductive) but a key factor was legislative restrictions in the West. That is the opposite of the liberal part of liberal democracy. A key part of liberalism is giving people freedom to better their own lives.
> A business cannot let their devs WFH and everyone else must be in the office. It's simply unfair.

Yeah, like fairness is important in business. Let's publish everyone salaries in the company and let's talk about fairness after that.
IIRC if it's a system package, that will just disable it, not remove it, and it can be re-enabled fairly easily.

> they go through 50 hoops to explain why africa is doing bad

Africa were doing bad before white people intervened, answering why isn't trivial at all. They did trade over Sahara, technological advancement and knowledge was there but Africa didn't manage to take advantage of it unlike the Arabs, Asians and Europeans.
