I tried to build something years ago on a similar foundation, and I found maintaining the API list to be impossible as a solo dev. In a pool of say 30 APIs, at least one would break their "contract" as a public resource daily. Shifting endpoints, revoked public tokens, changing outputs.

I was quite disappointed because I loved the product, a dashboard for arbitrary live data sourced from APIs, but the cost of maintaining it was too high.
You can. It'll probably be bigger than the Go binary but you can.
Show HN: IndieHackers stopped their podcast so I started my own
I started "Founder Stories with Priyanka" to continue the legacy of the Indie Hackers podcast and learn from bootstrapped founders. Each episode dives into:

-The story behind their product ideation & getting their first few customers
-Unconventional growth strategies
-Practical conversion tactics
-Raw truths about the bootstrapping journey(life lessons)

As someone from a non-tech background, I created this podcast to gather and share insights on launching and growing profitable businesses without external funding.

I'm Priyanka, the host. AMA about the podcast or the founders' stories!

You can watch full video interviews on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@priyankaprasad25
By the philosophy under which the human right to property is defined, someone has just as much right to own a billion dollars without it being stolen as they do to have ten dollars.

>It's an abhorrent misappropriation of human resources

It's not a misappropriation; for a company founder, they _created_ those resources. Without them, the resource wouldn't exist. And if you punish them a lot, such people will all go somewhere else, and then you'll have no businesses or jobs and everyone's standard of living will be worse. This has been demonstrated historically countless times, every single case of the government mass-appropriating the wealth of the wealth led to extreme poverty; Maoist China, Stalinist Russia, Pol Pot's Cambodia.

>Wealth and income inequality has well-studied negative effects on society.

Negative as defined by some left-leaning social scientists. Conversely, punitive taxation has been overwhelmingly shown by economists to lead to reduced growth in people's standard of living as measured by income and GDP.

Sorry, this is a bit out of my area of expertise (especially in non-React frameworks), but until someone more knowledgeable comes along, maybe I can at least offer some links for getting started?

A writeup: https://blog.logrocket.com/rendering-large-datasets-vue-js/

As for implementation, this is probably a situation where I'd reach for Someone Else's Library™ instead, at least to learn from. Maybe something like https://www.ag-grid.com/example/ (try the 100k row example) with maybe a serverside data model: https://www.ag-grid.com/vue-data-grid/server-side-model-upda...

That's a ready-made open-core implementation (paid additional features), but you can see an example of how to make an performant implementation. Often, big tables like that can use some sort of virtualization (https://www.ag-grid.com/vue-data-grid/dom-virtualisation/), or here's another lib that does something similar: https://tanstack.com/virtual/latest

There is also a JS framework benchmark at https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark and a vue-pinia implementation at https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/tree/mast...

Lastly, I would say it might be worth considering how the whole dataset works, holistically, as in whether the client really needs to handle all that data at once or if it can be streamed in chunks to & from the server, maybe with a bit of buffer in every direction. It's the same windowing concept, just moved to the network.

And of the data on the client, how much of it is bottlenecked by rendering vs other in-memory operations (sorting, filtering, pagination, etc.) -- can you speed that part up with any better algorithms or data structures?

But it sounds like your main bottleneck right now is rendering large datasets into the DOM, so hopefully some of those above will help.

At some scale, it might also be worth considering moving out of the DOM altogether and into a canvas, like https://canvas-datagrid.js.org/ or https://github.com/xwinstone/canvastable?tab=readme-ov-file. The DOM isn't really made for something like that, and it's pretty amazing what the libs can do, but the canvas can be much much faster. You do lose all the built-in DOM functionality though so you end up having to recreate a lot of functionality (like search, selection, drag & drop, etc.)

Good luck! I hope someone comes along with more experience and wisdom to share.
Yes, rust compiler team improves borrow checker from time, to allow more valid programs to pass the checker. However, in practice, it's always possible to use unsafe code to do the job, and then build a safe façade for it.

In this particular case, borrow checker does it job as designed. So, why to fight it?

The Holographic Principle is the idea that our universe is a projection of a higher dimensional space, which sounds an awful lot like the total simulation of an interactive environment, encoded in the parameter space of a neural network.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was: couldn't my immediate experience be exactly the same thing? Including the illusion of a separate main character to whom events are occurring?

This is just what I saw when I hit F5 on the home page and then Page Down. You can see those are posted recently, and have very high engagement. Just take look the View and Liked count on those posts I listed, those people are insane. Sure, humans are animals, big fucking deal, I'm there for cute cat videos, not fucking WikiLeak.

And it's not the worst day either, in those worst days, you saw people getting shredded (literal), animals eating each other etc with all the blood and graphic and more, in full HD. As well as, of course, political propaganda lies and misinformation, you know something can be summarized to "why we should kill them" and "why you should kill yourself", which is probably the most lighthearted content among those.

I mean, yeah sure, everyone have their freedom of speech to post shit like that, but WHY I HAVE TO WATCH IT? I never responded (liked, commented etc) on any of those. Why I'm keep seeing these? AFTER I've blocked hundreds of those accounts?

At this point, Elon Musk might as well turn his X.COM into an actual porn network, and it'll still be less harmful to the public than what it is now.

Maybe this also showed why a person with unaddressed mental problems should not be left in charge of anything social, just my guess.
They caught wind of LTT?
Image is 2D. Video is 3D. The mathematical extension is obvious. In this case, low resolution 2D (pixels), and the third dimension is just frame rate (discrete steps). So rather simple.
Question.

Did you ever try Facebook purity (FBP) ?

If yes, did the forcing of chronological content into the feed, not work? Or did Facebook finally kill the widget?

FBP was the only thing that made FB bearable for a while, but im curious to other peoples experience with it
It's going to be fine. The tool is fantastic and still getting better. We have enough content already for the base models and then we can take care of the new stuff. It's going to be non-trivial but it'll work.
I work on software to assist public transit. The fact that my own city uses this software, and that I use public transit all the time, is as close as I can get to this. Even that amount of interaction helps drive better UI/UX decisions quite a bit.

Dude, we barely have money for an engineering team, let alone enough people to call it a department.

The security department is me when I’m not being inundated with five other things, all at the same time.

It’s not like anyone else has a department either, there’s like, 12 people working here in total man.

Expropriation of wealth from the rich just centralises it more by giving it to the government (and in particular whoever is in charge of the government), as happened with every single communist revolution.
Correlation doesn’t equal causation. It’s the typical case, there are studies showing the former, yet it absolutely does nothing for COVID, it was a “hidden” third variable all along (having parasites).

Well, yeah. Image diffusion models only work because you can provide large amounts of training data. For Doom it is even simpler, since you don't need to deal with compositing.

Similarly, you could run a very very simple game engine, that outputs little more than a low resolution wireframe, and upscale it. Put all of the effort into game mechanics and none into visual quality.

I would expect something in this realm to be a little better at not being visually inconsistent when you look away and look back. A red monster turning into a blue friendly etc.

I had an idea a couple of weeks ago -- vintage data.

Data that you could guarantee was not generated by AI. Stuff like scans of old microfiche archives, scans of rare but unpopular books found in old boxes and attics. Things like that.

Free startup idea! Go to garage sales and look for boxes of books that maybe have never been digitized.

Just be careful that the entire training set doesn't have the moral values of 100 years ago!
How to really wrap a C compiler and preprocessor
> Somewhat related, I've also noticed that people who don't go out of their way to inform themselves (eg: watch/read the news) in general seem happier

Makes sense, most of whats shown on the news is just daily misery, without any relevance. My wife watches the 8 o clock news daily and most days the only news of any relevance is the weather report. The rest is just a barrage of ''in some country (usually a million miles away) some people got stabbed/a bus crashed/a terrorist attack happened/some environmental disaster/a company made a bazillion dollars profit/a politician did a thing''. Its all completely worthless to know, its forgotten five minutes afterwards and all it does is increase anger, fear and/or anxiety just a little bit more every day.
This is not "just" video, however. It's interactive in real time. Sure, you can say that playing is simply video with some extra parameters thrown in to encode player input, but still.
I know very little of Insta.. but thought I'd seen a story, so did a DDG and first result includes:

"Stricter private messaging settings for teens To help protect teens from unwanted contact on Instagram, we restrict adults over the age of 19 from messaging teens who don't follow them, and we limit the type and number of direct messages (DMs) people can send to someone who "

With things like this, and now several states requiring that you must be 18 to use any social media, (because parents can't parent apparently?)

I wonder how much of a problem this really is?

I get it that smart teens will find ways to access naughty things no matter how many barriers are put in front of them..

But at some point we must look at parents and ask why 'children' would find it fine to spend lots of time staring at thirst traps.. I know kids that if someone was to put stuff like that in front of them they would push it away and tell multiple adults about it..

Of course I have also known parents that let their kids play grand theft auto at 6 years old.

So while I have tried to tell parents for years about what exists on game consoles and the internet and how they need to not only pay attention, but have open dialogue about sharing what they see and such.. it seems to me that most parents actually do not care what their kids see on the internets..

You could of argue that parents did not know what could be found online 20 years ago, but today's children had their parents grow up with unfettered access (most of them I believe) - and so they know and they don't care (again most I believe).

There are some vocal small groups screaming that there is a need to save the children, but I would assume most of them have kids with cell phones without any blocking systems installed.

That's not to say all. I do know a family that does not let any of their children watch TV, use the internet or cell phone - all their kids, 6yrs - 16 ..no TV even not at all and they would not even think about sneaking to use a cell phone behind their parents back.

Sadly as far as the world having a culture that onboards into sex work I believe has more to do with the rent is too damn high, food costs too much and people want designer / name brand things. If most women (and men) could easily earn a living wage within a few blocks of where they live, there would be much less onboarding period.

Sadly I have given up hoping that rent will be cut in half and wages will double anytime soon, if anything, I'd bet that if the wages double I think we'll see the same with the rent and food.
Sorry, but saying "I bet this would work" does not mean I have to come up with a theoretical foundation for disproving the existence of machine learning models ever being capable of doing things, theoretical models which even the top labs in the world are incapable of producing. This is the hypothesis stage; there is no burden of proof. If I said "I proved this would work," naturally there would be a burden of evidence. That is not where we are. You are arguing with a hypothesis; and your argument does not hold water ("If this was possible someone would have already done it"). That does not mean the hypothesis is true, it only means you haven't falsified it.
Watch closely in the videos and you'll see that enemies often respawn when offscreen and sometimes when onscreen. Destroyed barrels come back, ammo count and health fluctuates weirdly, etc. It's still impressive, but its not perfect in that regard.

> If you look at every attempt to create "The Uncensored Free Speech Version Of [ANY_SERVICE]," they all, inevitably turned into a 4chan-like trashfire. You've got to have some kind of moderation.

Let's distinguish two things here.

One is, you have ten thousand groups and they each have local moderators. If you're a gigantic tool, you get banned from 90% of groups you join and the other 10% are a trash fire. But this primarily happens on the basis of temperament rather than ideology. Most groups don't ban you for expressing a minority viewpoint, they ban you for being a jerk or a spammer, and the ones that do ban you for expressing a minority viewpoint are the ones that become a radicalized trash fire with a reputation for abusive moderation and decline in popularity. Also, you don't have to care much about them because there are plenty of other groups that don't ban you for engaging in civil debate, most people are members of many independent groups, and there are consequently plenty of well-trafficked places for civil debate to take place.

The other is, the platform itself does the moderation and there is nowhere to go to escape their errors without losing the massive network effect of the consolidated platform. The platform at large becomes a radicalized trash fire but the network effect keeps people from abandoning it, so the platform not only loses the incentive to stop that from happening, it becomes a target for capture by authoritarians who want to censor their opponents.

One of these things is not like the other.
ASCII art was so cool! After getting my day's work done in typing class, we could try our hand at making ASCII art via a list of commands to follow, and without knowing the final image. Like:

15 space, 1 V, 3 U, 1 V

15 space, 5 U

12 space, 2 x, 5 U, 2 x

and then after 250 lines, a pic of Jordan dunking would show up once done and we could print it!
Short clips are the only way a human will make any errors determining which is which.

It's a maths people phrase - usually it means something like "this is true if you ignore these counterexamples".

This analysis leaves out the fact that Pavel Durov is, with Telegram, in approximately the same position Ladar Levison was with Lavabit. Unlike Meredith Whitaker, Durov actually is in a position to furnish documents to the French government, where he has citizenship. He's in that position because he has repeatedly made deliberate product decisions, to the bafflement of cryptographers around the world, to keep himself in that position.

If you literally have plaintext documents responsive to criminal inquiries in a jurisdiction you are subject to, we don't reach the "internet censorship wars". You're in a place not dissimilar to a 1970s telephone company; the "random people can't simply declare themselves above the law wars". Don't be in that place. Encrypt end-to-end.
IANAD, but if you're good at brushing, it probably won't cause you to have fewer cavities. But speaking from personal experience, it's better at actually cleaning your teeth surfaces (you can see this yourself when you visit the dentist: notice how much smoother they feel after polishing), and it's just plain easier to use since you don't have to move your arm/wrist around and don't have to worry about making sure you're using circular motions like your dentist recommends. The brush head on an electric brush moves much faster than you possibly could, so all you have to do is put it on your teeth and apply proper pressure. No, it's not as cheap as a $2 toothbrush, but for some at least, the convenience is worth the extra cost. Plus, most dentists I've had in the last decade have recommended using one.
A bit like trying to find steel made before all of the atomic testing started, I suppose.

Starlink Leo satellites are not the same as geosynchronous satellites. geosync satellites are very high up and will more or less stay there indefinitely. Starlink sats will decay from their orbit and burn up in the atmosphere after about 5 years. which means if you aren't constantly launching new sats all the time, the network will quickly degrade and completely fail within five years. in other words, there is way more than a zero percent chance that starlink is not a financially viable product long term.
