Oh absolutely. Early on into the AI craze I tried to use it to summarise my messages[1] and it made them overly fluffy and weird.

Anyone receiving the message would instantly clock that I didn't write it - even with a prompt longer than the original message trying to massage out all of the Americanisms and false enthusiasm. Not a use case that works for me, haha.

When I arrived at the blockchain part, I knew they wouldn't tell me how they'd done it. Looks like a PR dept wrote some fluff which got taken up by a magazine.

The worst part is how they present it as if they totally could have predicted it if they tried.
The article covers:

- High-level architecture of the platform & the main data model
- Handling communication with customers across 7 channels in a uniformed way and figure out to which ongoing conversation it belongs
- How to receive emails via AWS SES
- How to sync emails from GMail
- How to receive SMS via Twilio
- Embedded Chat Capabilities via Phoenix Channels & Presence
- Usage of Slack/Mattermost as reply channels
- Webhook and Lambda Function functionality to extend the existing functionality
- Advanced browser session tracking and reply
- Reporting, analytics, billing strategy

Papercups is an excellent example of how to build a SaaS platform in a radically simple way.
Rapid iteration at the component level would obviously require custom components, and maybe vertical integration, which clearly conflicts with point #1 about riding existing supply chains. But you can still iterate parts of the design that you more or less "have" to customize, such as the body material, axis geometries, and dozens of other factors I can't think of off the top of my head. The collected data can both be used to improve training and as input into the design iterations.
But the part where my character can carry 300 pounds of inventory while fighting is legit, right?
What do you mean specifically when you say?

> DOM be a function of the state

I understand the benefits of the mental model, but the tooling that delivers that generally have a lot of complexity that isn't trivial to parse and understand. I think the benefit of being able to parse and understand your abstractions (ones you build yourselves or buy off the shelf like a framework) is there are always gaps in the constraints under which they had originally been designed; so you'll always need to understand how it works under the hood.

React's class-based components were simpler because the lifecycle methods were explicit, but the hook-based model is "easier"; however, the component lifecycle is still present. The demo code does look really clean, but in real life you quickly start to face the underlying complexity of the abstractions (e.g., useEffect, memoization, realizing how fine-grained your reactivity is is based on how you've drawn those component boundaries). You can write these optimizations yourself, or wait for the new auto-memoizing React compiler to land, but in all cases, the overall complexity remains the same (or is higher). And this isn't unique to React or other frameworks, and you'll always need to delve a little deeper.

I agree that the DOM APIs could be more declarative (e.g., declarative custom elements proposal [1], declarative shadow DOM, `@scope` CSS as another way to scope styles), and there is activity in that space, both in the W3 Web Components Community Group and the Open UI Community Group. I'm trying to get more involved in those discussions and I'd recommend everyone who cares about the web and how we build for it to participate.

I think the process of standardization for new features (through the proposals phases to finally landing in browsers) is the effort to raise the floor for all to build on top of. I remember when Promises were landing everywhere and feeling a little overwhelmed by what it meant to me because I was using Bluebird. Then the feeling of "maybe I can simplify what I'm doing and lean more on the platform" set in. Frameworks are a testbed for new ideas, and we can go further by trying to see what pieces we can pull out and standardize around (e.g., Signals proposal [2]), so we can go back to testing new ideas on top of that.

For a advanced course of physics, we had to analyze video image of tiny "balls" in a microscope and track their movement. We were able to track movements of 1/10 of a pixel fitting a function using the tones of grey. Even if a pixel is 10 meters, I think it's possible to track smaller changes assuming the bridge does not change the shape too much.

Tissue-scale in vitro epithelial wrinkling and wrinkle-to-fold transition
I’m the author, but posting as a private individual here, these being just my options and all that… but I can shed some more light on why I did move us to Superset.

Preset is great, as are most of these tools’ hosted versions! Lots of great folks working on these.

But, tbh, as an infrastructure company this is somewhat the core business of ngrok - hosting another DB + K8s service is something that we have great tooling for and lots of expertise in the infra space. And using ngrok makes it even easier.

The whole dogfooding aspect is important too - if I don’t run an app in production with ngrok I have a hard time empathizing with customers who want to do the same. My previous job encouraged that too and I’ve always liked that.

Also, yes, lots of moving parts - but most of them are very reusable and they share a lot of code, infra, and logic/operations playbooks etc. Costs are manageable - Athena charges $5/TB scanned iirc, which tends to be the biggest factor.
That's not my point: My point is that it became a real world tendency because it was pretty accurate: The malicious websites weren't paying for certificates.

If even some legitimate businesses balk at the cost of a VMC, your average scammer isn't going to drop that kind of money to get one either, especially since that cost is per-attempt and the approval is somewhat manual and likely involves humans seeing that it is wrong. But Bank of America will and hence the BoA logo on your email is pretty effective proof of legitimacy.

NATO is a military organization, BRICS is not. There is zero reason why India (or Brazil for that matter), not to mention South Africa would want to engage in any war with the USA or Europe. These countries have their own problems. The only country that is engaged in military warfare now is Russia because their leader lives in another epoch. As for China starting a war over Taiwan, I believe they learned a lot from Russia's mistakes and for now they are doing a lot to influence the Taiwanese using peaceful measures.

Be warned though, exiting the cave is painful.
I would take GDP numbers of BRICS countries with a giant mountain of salt.

I remember there were research articles that claimed China's metrics were inflated every year that compounded to unrealistic/fake number. One such research did this by measuring power/electricity growth, I think via visible light during night-time from satellite images. Would be nice if someone could find the original article.

Either way, when you inflate GDP metrics by few points it will compound over years and will create large gap between real and fake economy health.
I should clarify: I have a type-accepted GMRS radio and the license for it.
Like all laws, there will certainly be those who evade compliance geographically. A well-written law will be looked to as a precedent or "head start" for new places that end up wanting regulatory functions. I feel like the EU and California often end up on this "leading edge" with regard to technology and privacy. While this can seem like a futile position to be in, it paves the way and is a required step for a good law to find a global foothold.
I'm genuinely curious what the logic is behind Russia murdering someone (or attempting to murder, in the previous attempt) with a distinctively Russian nerve agent that would immediately implicate them as being involved- Was it done on purpose as an intimidation thing? Why not just push them out a window?

You are right regarding China being a considerable opponent due to its manufacturing power but you are wrong about Russia. First it is a petrostate but one that is dependent on western equipment for continued extraction. Especially with natural gas it had to scale back a lot of projects due to sanctions. Second its military complex is only good at dumb ammunitions and outdated equipment fit for human wave attacks. Those may be working in Ukraine thanks to population advantage but they are not fit for a fight against NATO. And Russia is already experiencing worker shortage in manufacturing. I wonder how that "giant military complex" will fare after another mobilization drive.
But that is precisely what I want for desktop use (which is unlike developer use, for which there already is Arch as-is)!

It's going to depend a lot on how the library is designed and how much of its functionality I need.

I am very skeptical about adopting a library because of all the reasons you listed but I am quite happy to adopt one when I see it's been stable and designed well.

What I'm looking for is a well tested library with a clean interface that doesn't look impenetrable when I look at its source. If the source looks a bit like something I might write, then at least I feel confident I can figure out an issue on my own when I hit a wall.

It's a judgement call, it just depends on where you draw the line. You're not writing ALL your code with just vanilla Typescript.

I use Ruby, I don't write all my code in vanilla Ruby.

But I definitely agree that blindly pulling in a library just because it looks like it makes your problem simpler RIGHT NOW, is a bad instinct.

OpenAI Spinning Up in Deep RL Workshop (2019) [video]
I recently explained my personal beliefs around how you square free-will and determinism (and subsequently consciousness) to GPT-4 and it told me this was the more formal name for it.

I posited that if you can observe and reconstruct the entire state of a complex system then you can predict future states- score one for determinism and no free will. But, we know there exists places that we cannot directly observe or perceive, aka quantum uncertainty, represented by σxσp ≥ ℏ/2 [1].

So based completely in theory, I figure the only way we square FW & determinism, is that free will exists somewhere/in a form we cannot directly observe, and it manifests as tiny influences that add up, in the complex system that is a brain.

This is the way more speculative part and it's more fun than anything to think about- it doesn't change the way I live my life buuuut-

Folded brains dramatically increase the influence a given region in space-time can have, simply due to the increased number of neurons. So our brains double as an antenna for some unseen influence that manifests through quantum uncertainty.

So when I explained this to ChatGPT it told me that OORT was very similar to this, but even the mechanism they use for it seems to be a stretch for me.

edit: But I do think that in order for neural networks to become anything other than outwardly really really good approximations of human minds, there needs to be a way to introduce a small amount of genuine randomness into their calculations, without utterly breaking them. I could see early attempts at doing this causing a form of LLM schizophrenia because the neural network wasn't resilient enough to the induced error.

That's not everything, but it says more than you might yet have realized.
Exactly!

To be honest they're not full-blown coroutines (since the React runtime cannot control when the component progresses) which might be a bit more complex to grasp... but the idea of "yielding control" to someone else (i.e. to React, when calling one of its hooks) is there and as you say it's pretty straightforward.
VSCode also, by design, obscures what’s really going on on the development environment, so that when I help a VSCode user who gets stuck, they often don’t know what computer they’re logged into, where their files actually are in the file system, which Python interpreter they’re using, what HTTPS_PROXY is set to, and so on. The ssh extension also spins up a server process for every client a user connects, and it seems a bit inconsistent about preserving state across disconnections. All in all, I spend a lot of time helping people fix problems they’ve made for themselves by using VSCode.

Extensions often rely on third-party binaries (such as Language Servers, kubectl, ssh or even git itself), internet access (SAAS providers, pulling data or definitions, ...) and on your filesystem (SSH Config, Kubernetes config, Config folder in your home, ...). Sandboxing these extensions is not easy unless everything is configured within VSCode which is rarely the case.

As far as I know, extensions are not sandboxed either on Emacs, (Neo)vim, Jetbrains IDEs.

But you don't see a problem with accepting an ad placement that is legally and morally dubious? The FTC is moving to ban these outright, and their justification is 100% valid:

> Fake reviews not only waste people’s time and money, but also pollute the marketplace and divert business away from honest competitors.

Labeled as an ad or not, you may well lose sponsors over this who don't want to be associated with that kind of behavior, and you're certainly losing potential users and contributors here on HN. My perspective on Crystal has changed from positive (I always love new programming languages) to negative over the course of this conversation, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

This damage can't be measured as easily as money flowing in can, but it's very real and you shouldn't discount it. Some of us don't believe that receiving money for something is sufficient justification to do it.

One must understand what a good underlying implementation looks like to expose a good interface, it's easy to implicitly bake stupid implementations into an interface that cannot be fixed by just changing the implementation. The example that comes to mind is sorting and paging behavior. Junior devs, and many seniors that should know better by now, OFTEN start with requests that use some variant of limit/offset parameters for paging which leads to terrible performance issues and anomalous behavior. How paging works efficiently and what sorting options can be supported with good performance is inherently coupled to the shape of your data and your choice of datastore. People that haven't been through this exercise at a lower layer have little chance of shaping the higher level interface appropriately unless they put work into the implementation up front.

A blanket statement like that doesn’t have much value.

Others may have perfectly good setups and no problem making a good living. Some live off savings, passive income, or retirement checks and don’t need to work at all.

"Since we don't know of another (i.e,. classical) way that anesthetic binding to microtubules would generally reduce brain activity and cause unconsciousness," Wiest says, "this finding supports the quantum model of consciousness."
