They don't do it "already" but are one of the approaches taken. If you build state of the art web UI/UX you know that it is not just dragging and dropping objects on the screen while it is perfectly possible to build a tool like this.
I think the comment is fair. The poster came across as inexperienced with programming when in reality they have a decade plus experience.

I trust experience people can make better use of these tools because ideally they should have a foundation of first principles to work off of whereas inexperienced people jumping straight into LLMs may not be fully understanding what is happening or what they are given.
I like your optimism but this ship sailed a long time ago.

If you are outside the US and China it is hard not to empathize with the Chinese annoyance with the do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do “rules based order”, and deciding to play the exact game on the US that the US has played with everyone else.
What a feat! There's at least 3 pages of google search results for the nearly same thing. The "prompt" I used in google.com is:

site:github.com map comparison

I guess the difference, is that my way uses dramatically less time and resources, but requires directly acknowledging the original coders instead of relying on the plagiarism-ish capabilities of reguritating something through an LLM.
Indeed.

Question is whether this all that was in the 90s can again be relevant for the young who grew with TikTok, insta and fb.

I don’t have the answer, only doubts…

Now with GPTs more than ever people can regain their web presence. But do they do it? I guess not as much as one would expect.

You may say we need to go p2p again and perhaps Tim Berns Lee actually meant p2p with the HTML, but are people aware of this daring need?

Erica Chenoweth has an appendix listing six hundred movements dating from 1900 which are classified in how violent they were. She found that those that used violence (more) succeeded in achieving their goals 25% time, but those that did not use violence (at all, or much less) succeeded over 40% of the time: you almost double your odds by eschewing violence.

Further, movement that were violent and succeeded were more likely to be oppressive/authoritarian (possibly because the movement leaders internalized the possibility that the same methods would be used against them: the overthrown often don't end up in pleasant places in those situations), while non-violent ones were less likely to be (though no guarantee, with 1970s Iran being the main outlier).

So it appears that the general historical record seems to support Gandhi's philosophy.
The arrow and page up/down keys don't work in any predictable pattern for me, it's really weird. Like I thought it only scrolled up and down with the arrow keys if I press it 4 times, but then page up/down keys don't work no matter how many times I press it, then I focus on the page and it works, but then the arrow keys take 6 times to press before moving, and then I tried the same pattern again, and the arrow keys now take 11 presses before they start moving. Usually a lot of modern apps predictably break the back/forward history buttons and tab focus, but I've never seen anything quite like this. I guess it must be still delivering value though even if the product isn't polished.
Ah, I see what you mean. I'm not sure predicates like NewsData can actually be overloaded by arity, I'd have to check the docs. It mostly just seems like a shorter way to write the predicate with unbound variables.

> Are you aware of any SQL transpilers that spend so much time transpiling that you get irritated? I'm not.

Again, when you are running a tool on something that returns results in ~millisecond time, it is important the tool does not spoil that. Even 100-200ms is noticeable when you're typing things out. They could have worded it differently, it's probably just typical "A programmer wrote these docs" stuff, so it's just bad copy. A dedicated technical writer would probably do something different.

Crawlers/archivers will be hitting your site much faster than a human user.
You should try out structured editing. For example paredit in emacs. And you really only need to understand slurp and barf. It really makes writing S-expressions no longer a chore. No more need to manually count parentheses. The parentheses are balanced by construction.
No, there's no logical reason for that restriction.
There are possibly also longer term repercussions from abolishing patents in that people or companies will naturally instead protect themselves via keeping trade secrets instead. This will probably result in some inventions being lost to history instead of being on the public record once the patent expires.

> It's better to have some wonky parameterization than it is to have multiple implementations of nearly the same thing. Improving the parameters will be easier than to consolidate four different implementations if this situation comes up again.

Hard disagree. If you cant decompose to avoid "wonky parameters" then keep them separate. Big smell is boolean flags (avoid altogether when you can) and more than one enum parameter.

IME "heavy" function signatures are always making things harder to maintain.

It's not. It is shortsighted to blindingly hate thing X over Y instead of considering circumstances and understanding how big corporations work, or understanding the nature of the project you make use of (after all, the entirety of .NET is MIT) and just how much worse most alternatives are. There is a wealth of mainstream languages that are decently usable, which I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole as a main choice still because they carry a significant downgrade in one or another area, that .NET does not compromise on.

I onow antlr and the the fact it was started in the 90s and still going. Precious piece of software indeed. But to have a .net app download Java still seems subpar. I guess grammars can be approached by other way, like with Perl6 (Raku).

"Concern" ?

It may spread life to other planets and systems, and this would mean that life has higher chance of survival no matter if humans are here or not.

If we look over the next 10 thousand years, we have more chances to have the planet survivability highly affected by a nuclear war, than to have tardigrades secretly building a spaceship and attacking us back in Space Wars style.

It's great if plants and animals spread to other planets, those who can survive will survive, and the others may mutate or adapt.

In the long-term, contamination is going to happen anyway due to humans planning to live there.

My process for any book I'm thinking about writing is:

- write out 10 titles for blog posts on the topic

- write 1-2 blog posts (this lets you see if you have interest/expertise)

- do a bit of research to see if someone else has written on the topic (some googling or reddit searching

- write the rest of the blog posts

If you can't write 10 blog posts about a topic, then you don't have either:

- the interest in the topic

- the knowledge in the topic

If no one else has written anything about the topic, it might not be worth writing about, but you also want to make sure your take is unique enough to be worth your effort.

All the creatives are worried that Gen AI will steal their jobs. Seems to me that the most likely candidate for replacement is the manager.

The more important question that programmers, who are not product makers, often miss is: Are you solving real problems?

It's a slightly orthogonal way of thinking about this but if you are solving real problems, you get away with so much shit, it's unreal.

Maybe Google is not gonna let you code monkey on their monorepo, but you do not have to care. There's enough not-google in the world, and enough real problems.
Seems like a great way to:

- Archive for the film industry. 2 minutes to retrieve an archived take is a good compromise of cost and time.

- Archive for the recording industry. 2 minutes to recover the "master tapes" when you remaster for the umpteenth time is a good compromise of cost and time.

- The product I work on has requirements to archive data for a year / 10 years / 20 years and then generate a report. A 2 minute delay is perfectly acceptable.

Kidney sales are not exploitation of the poor in all circumstances. Let's say the market clearing price was 10kUSD. What if legislation made it 1mUSD? Is that still exploitation? It should be exploitation at any price if it's exploitation at all.

I personally believe it should be set at a price where the donor queue is something like 100x the need queue. Then it's way above market and the argument for "exploitation" is weakened further.
I mean, I get the enthusiasm for leaving the shit-heap marble we all collectively share with each other. But it would be a pretty embarrassing faux-pas to start introducing invasive species to the moon before we even understand what exactly lives on it.
> The 10th time, the 50th time, I still needed the GPS to guide me.

If anyone else is frustrated by this experience, I've found that changing the setting in Google Maps to have the map always point north has helped me with actually building a mental model of directions. I found instead of just following the line, it forced me to think about whether I'm going north, south, east, or west for each directions.
I'm sorry you had to go through such a horrible experience @EndWokeness, but you could have stated an actual biological fact by posting "There are only two sexes", even if there are corner cases.

Show HN: A dynamic C (Hot reloading) module-based Web Framework
This hobby project is inspired by kernel modules and AWS Lambda. It lets you write raw C modules, upload them, and have the server compile and run only the module itself at runtime—no need to recompile the entire application or restart the server.

You can update routes and modules dynamically. Even WebSocket handlers can be updated without dropping existing connections.

It definitely takes me longer. Pre-GPS, I might need a map (or at least notes) to get somewhere, but then I could most likely find my way back on my own. Using GPS to get somewhere, I'd be lost trying to get back without it.

I think that because with a map you are looking at street signs/names, etc. both in advance to plan the route, and much more actively and intently while driving to figure out "do I turn here" and you just remember that stuff. Where as a GPS says "turn right at the next light" and you really don't remember any context around that.
Honestly? These were ideas that you put a lot of thought into?

All your sites are essentially wrappers around LLMs. You don't disclose which models or APIs you use in the backend, so did you train your own models, or are you proxying to an existing service? Your T&C and Privacy Policy is generic nonsense. What happens to the data your users upload?

ThumbnailGenius.com has an example thumbnail of a person with 4 fingers. I honestly can't tell the difference in the comparison between Midjourney, Dall-E and your fine-tuned models. MetHacker.io is not loading. GoUnfaked.com claims to have royalty and copyright-free images, which is highly misleading and possibly illegal. PlaybookFM.com is another effortless wrapper around NotebookLM or a similar LLM. TokenAI.dev is non-functional and seems like a crypto+AI scam.

I'm sorry to be so negative, but if you're going to leverage AI tools, at least put some thought and effort into creating something original that brings value to the world. I think you'll find this more rewarding than what you're doing now. Quality over quantity, and all that.
An LLM+flamethrower+robot = An wonderful idea
I use logical thinking for such things. For example, I see something in my data, that promises me something. I try out some cases, see even more promises. Now I have to think logically about that. Is it worth? How long time do I need to develop my idea? Are there pitfalls? How to compensate the build time and from which income? ... And so on ..

A real world example. I see, it's possible to predict events on stock market. Logically would be, not to go all-in, because it's nearly to impossible. It's really is if you think of how many tried and failed. And just logically: it isn't possible to foresee when Elon or others start to tweet farts. The market is too dynamical.

With this universal knowledge, it would be stupid not to take on the job for me and you. But what if I really see a way to predict stock market movements good enough?

It's not good enough for going all-in. One would need more data and information and assessment of the do-ability compared to time needed.

And so on..

So from the point of view of your text:

Did you do market research or is it just "I know it"?

Is it a trade between studying degree vs. your idea?

What happens if your idea is not working like expected? Possible pivots without much work?

And so on.. it's a classic thinking-all-through. Believing is not enough in a data driven world :)

We're assuming an even average distribution, and comparing ash to spherules - which would have different patterns of sedimentation depending on how far from epicenter one is. Although, for a large enough impact, the distribution radii overlap around the planet so there may be quite a bit of averaging as the sun+atmosphere provides a mixing medium and the energy to do so.

> From what I've read, unpowered SSDs only hold the data for a year or two, regardless of the age of the drive.

You've probably been reading bad sources. There is a very real relationship between the number of P/E cycles that a piece of flash memory has been through and the unpowered data retention it can provide. Lots of publications and even more random forum posts repeat statements about SSD data retention without including the caveat that the numbers apply specifically to worn-out drives. Brand new flash memory can easily have unpowered data retention in excess of a decade.

If you're reading a source that claims SSD unpowered data retention is only a year, and that source does not qualify that with a statement about the prior condition of the drive, you should assume that you're reading another misinterpretation of the JEDEC standards.

I'm shocked YouTube hasn't banned them or at least designed a way for creators to integrate a sponsor segment directly into their video from the YouTube platform, without having to add it to the final cut of the video. If this existed, creators could update the sponsor across all of their videos AND YouTube could get a cut of the revenue.

It seems like YouTube is leaving money on the table while simultaneously creating a worse experience for paying customers of YouTube premium.
