I think we are a bit alike in our views, but I have a slightly different take on it. I consider coding something like a Chip-8 emulator to be more fun and optimal. It gives a holistic view of the language - you get to work with simple graphics, sound effects, and gain a feel for memory operations and data structures, as well as control structures like conditionals, looping, and exception handling. If that’s not all - for beginners, it provides an introduction to virtualizing CPUs with registers, stacks, opcode handling, memory units, arithmetic/bitwise operations, and more. You’ll even learn a bit about concurrency and synchronization, and by extension, threading. Also, performance optimization.

I suppose a decent game project could achieve these things too, but the real fun of Chip-8 is in throwing different ROMs at it and debugging the issues until it’s perfect enough to play all your favorite games!

This is silly. Conkers aren't a rich person's sport, and this article in the guardian isn't pushing any political subversive subtext.
I started getting very serious about AI when I got early access to GPT 3. Before that I was using Google Dialogflow to build AI powered chatbots. Since then I downloaded, installed and tested literally hundreds and hundreds of AI related software application. At first this was really exciting ... I thought "wow this software is going to change everything" ... then a few days later another application would be released and another and another and until I became paralyzed by the amount of choices available. This resulted in a huge amount of stress. For months and months I had analysis paralysis. Eventually I settled on Supabase/PGvector for RAG (mostly because it provides Row Level Security for data/vectors) and this gave me a strong foundation to build on. Now I use Supabase, Vercel AI SDK with Svelte and N8N and mostly Claude Sonnet 3.5 as my LLM (with OpenAI O1 for more complex tasks and GPT 4o mini for cheaper inference). I also use Cursor (with the same models) every day which is amazing.
Show HN: AWS Cloud Template for SaaS Products (payments, auth, RAG, etc.)
I've been coding a small initial platform on AWS in my spare time. I've set up IaC, CI/CD dev/prod, management (sso, billing alerts), backend, frontend, api, database, auth etc.

I've also added a simple RAG bot and payments with two popular payment providers.

For each SaaS setup, I pay $2-4 per month in AWS cloud costs, and it is mostly CI/CD and an entry to AWS Secret Manager.

There are few people who bought it to save time on development costs, so I thought I'd ask some opinions here on what to add or fix if that's ok.

I was thinking about expanding the RAG there, like adding memories of previous conversations.
Antipattern #4: Pushing dependencies to the side
After a 13 year hiatus I got back into rock climbing. It was pretty neat feeling all that old, dormant muscle memory come back to life. My tendons, however, were not anywhere near as strong as they were 13 years ago, and it trying to climb without injuring myself became fraught. So for the first 2.5 years of my return to climbing was largely spent working through a long series of tendon pathologies, mostly in my elbows. I'm glad I didn't give up.
The cdc seems to say the dignosis is more rigorous than some sort of internet self-assessment:

Diagnosing ADHD usually includes a checklist for rating ADHD symptoms and looking at the person's history of behavior and experiences. The provider will determine if ADHD symptoms were present before age 12 years and may ask for permission to gather information from friends and family. A medical and psychological exam may be needed to rule out other health problems that can cause symptoms like ADHD or that are often present with ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, alcohol or substance misuse, or learning disabilities.

My apologies but I'd like to carve out the ADHD medication here saying that most people are misinformed. The same lawyer who did the "big tobacco" and "asbestos" lawsuits pushed the big Ritalin thing. They filed several class actions and all of them were shut down hard in court, which might have been a surprise to them given their previous success. The sleazy lawyers never undid the damage.

My conspiracy theory is ADHD meds conflict with the law industry's whole "ambulance chasing" business. They don't want people to drive safe on their meds so they don't fix it. It's probably just laziness because the law industry being overpaid and scummy pretend legal system failed to self-regulate their professionals.

This is almost comical. Why did he want to be caught so badly? Or did he stack all of his skill points in chess, to the detriment of common sense?
For me I would say things started to get strange at move six. He played his move and left the playing hall for more than 10 minutes and this was repeated many times in the next moves. I thought he had some stomach problems! But at some point I decided to go out to see where he is and he was standing outside the toilet room and when he saw me he went back to the playing hall. And then at some point in the game he stopped going out till the game was finished.

Multiple extended length “bathroom” breaks and he thought nobody would be suspicious? He probably could have just consulted for one move and nobody would have caught wise.

It actually uses less than 3 GB of VRAM. One issue is that the research code is actually loading multiple models instead of one, which is why it was initially reported you need 8 GB if VRAM.

However, it cannot be used for the same use case because it’s currently very slow, so real time usage is not yet possible with the current release code, in spite of the 0.15 RTF claimed in the paper.
That would make sense to me, but it seems like maybe it isn’t how they did it?

> these are all AI issues (as opposed to mechanical ones)

Actuation is still a massive problem in humanoid robotics. We have over 650 muscles. A humanoid today can't even approximate that. Sure, a robot might not need that many actuators to be extremely useful. However, to be general enough to be able to interact with any human environment, the number of required actuators will not be trivial.

Add to that gearing, couplings, driver electronics, encoders, thermal management, calibration, noise, maintenance and other per-actuator requirements and the picture quickly becomes overwhelming.

This is an area that is still looking for a significant breakthrough.
> I’d posit I’ve been working with WP longer than you.

Perhaps? Maybe I'm older than I look... I've never specialised in WP, but my earliest WP work was on 2.5 back in 2008-ish after I jumped ship from a gruelling (and failing) startup. I was doing mostly WP sites at an agency during 2010-2013 almost all using cPanel shared hosting. In 2014 I moved to a place using Wordpress on Plesk shared hosting which had several really bad downtimes and performance problems, and searching my email the first WPEngine invoice came when I migrated a bunch of those sites to WPE in 2015. I've been happily using and recommending them ever since. Sure there are lots of people with more year's experience, but I've got a good 15 years or so, and I think that means my opinions are at least based in the real world.

WPEngine came into existence, at least from my point of view, because there was so much _bad_ Wordpress hosting available at the time.

My experience with 7 years of shared cPanel/Plex hosting on random ISPs or some generalised everything-to-everybody domain registry, domain registrar, web hosting company, SEO consultants, internet security snake oil salesmen like GoDaddy or Dreamhost, compared to specialist WP hosting with WPEngine - has been night and day. Where I work now, we happily refer clients looking for $5/month web hosting away to a few sole trader web devs we respect who handle those sorts of customers, and anyone who doesn't bat an eyelid at WPEngine's prices (plus our markup) gets hosted there with all the performance, uptime, and value add benefits they bring to the table.

I'm sure other people have different experiences. IU;m sure there are other dedicated WordPress hosting companies out there these days who are as good or better than WPEngine at least for some use cases. I'm sure there are other companies with as good or nearly as good offerings for less money than WPEngine. For me though, they are absolutely worth the extra cost for all the value add they bring alongside WP core and wordpress.org repos - except for people looking for lowest possible cost and are prepared to accept worse performance and less good hosting tools.

> My fear on the Rust front is that it's going to be another C++, where the complexity is considerable and requires more or less full-time expertise.

You can certainly make a case for that being inevitable in some ways:

Rust can be written in many ways to address different levels of abstraction, and when you stack those, you can require the reader to know about all of them.

If someone gives me a piece of Python code, it can only be hard to understand if the domain is hard (e.g physics) or it is poorly written.

In that way, Rust belongs with C++ and Haskell. The abstractions that Rust will introduce over time won’t grow in all directions like with C++ and Haskell (e.g. you won’t get higher-kinded types or GADTs in the next ten years).

> Incorrect. The basis of my claim is that people are often wrong about what will make them happy.

> Addiction is not the basis of my claim, it was just a single example of people choosing wrong.

In this specific instance, of using phones at restaurants, you seemed to think people could not go without them due to addiction. Are you saying that was not your position?

> Do you think phones are an exception to the general argument?

Not so much an exemption, more that when you make an abstract argument it's going to change when you zoom in a few levels down, and it's going to change depending on what is being discussed in.

In this case, I certainly disagree that it's safe to assert that "a lot of people would enjoy their meals better if they didn't have their phones with them" - is that a fair paraphrasing of your point?

> See, I don't know which people are wrong. I'm making a statistical argument.

What are you considering a lot, then? Even 0.1% of the population could be considered a lot, so what's the low end percentage of western phone owners you would suppose your position would apply to?

> I'm also wrong a lot! There are people that know what I want better than I do, sometimes! The trouble is we don't know which ones

In the context of statistics, what do you think the split is between people that think they would know what you want more than you do, and those who actually do? I'd think it's something like 9:1.

> If the group is a subset of those people that I can't identify, then is that direct enough to be an issue? I don't think it's realistic to think 100% are correct.

I guess it depends on how much you consider a lot. I'll grant it is correct for 'some' just on the basis of variations that exist, but I'm not sure I agree with it being true for a lot.

Also the customs exist at both ends. Usually, you have to do preliminary enforcement too. That’s what DHL does at least.

I feel like everyone runs into this in WP dev eventually, but not everyone is honest with themselves about it. It can get messy, fast — I’ve certainly been there!

I’d be interested to know what sort of work your plugins are doing. I think a lot of that ecosystem is there to fill gaps — ACFish custom field functionality, for example, is core functionality in Drupal, Payload and many others.

Just another example — I love Drupal, but the Paragraphs module was always filling a gap in Drupal that Payload’s simple, but quite powerful ‘blocks’ field type makes easy.

Another thing I didn’t realize I love about it until just now: the hooks system is super clear. It’ a lot of the same stuff you use in WP, Drupal and others, where you can hook into functionality. With WP and Drupal, it wasn’t super obvious which hooks fire when. It can take some immersion to really understand it.

I’m such a Payload Stan. I don’t work there, I swear! I’m looking forward to trying out 3.0 embedded in Sveltekit soon here.

Demos from just-about every single humanoid robot company are highly scripted and teleoperated (telechirs). Nothing new here.

Generally speaking, the only demos that are not of the scripted and human-in-the-loop kind are simple ones. Even food delivery robots have remote drivers. Warehouse and floor cleaning robots are probably the two main examples of reasonably autonomous operation in a relatively constrained environment. Welding and assembly robots just play back a script, not unlike a CNC machine.

I personally treat "God" as an anthropomorphism of concepts that are beyond my understanding. Just like some children might imagine that there's little people inside a TV, sometimes it's convenient to apply human characteristics to things I don't understand, especially during emotional distress or when dealing with weak-minded people.

Other times, it's better to take comfort in accepting that I can't know everything and realize that the scientific method tells us far more about this subject than imagination. It just requires a big dose of humility.
That feels like a different scenario. Intuitively I would expect some pre-arranged clearance process that is valid for some period to avoid say daily paperwork lodging. Even the inspection process could be streamlined if there's some trust between the authorities and the regularly shipping parties.

It still doesn't address the case where a random small business receives a container full of their latest items from a supplier.

The first thing I funnily thought of with direct-to-customer was narcotics. If countries don't inspect goods coming in (assuming that countries with a risk of narcotics being shipped out have already lost), then it makes for a great muling opportunity, or just wholesale shipment.

Wow, I think this is the thing I wished existed for years! Most file formats leave a huge compression opportunity on the table just because their choice of physical layout. (I call the simple case "striding order", idk) But getting it right takes a lot of experimentation which becomes too much churn for applications, and can result in storage layouts that are great for compression but are annoying to code against. So the obvious answer (to me at least) is that you need to decouple physical and logical layouts. I'm glad someone is finally trying it!
