Once it was spices. Then poppies. Modern art. The .com craze. Those blockchain ape images. Blockchain. Now LLM.

All of these had a bit of true value and a whole load of bullshit. Eventually the bullshit disappears and the core remains, and the world goes nuts about the next thing.
The community interest seems genuine to me. I think it's just having a moment.

I mean, define ‘better’. Even with actual human programmers, tests which do not in fact test the thing are already a bit of an epidemic. A test which doesn’t test is worse than useless.
There's nothing stopping anyone from building responsive UI components in this or even in Visual Basic itself. I thought were were talking about VB6, the programming language, not the UI toolkit. They are closely related but not necessarily the same thing.

Given that there are already other, more modern, languages and frameworks that do you want you describe I don't think there is a market for that kind of modern Basic. That's why nobody has done it.
Why would I need to know that? Do you know that the Threads backend isn't also a bloated sloppy mess?

Again as I have already said, it's like requiring a blogger to write an elegant static site generator. Who cares that the Wordpress backend is messy and bloated? Only on HN will you find this fetish about an elegant backend when you are merely a user.
> But if there was an obvious path forward

Even obvious can be risky. First it's nice to share the risk, second more investments come with more connections.

As for LLMs boom. I think finally we'll realize that LLM with algorithms can do much more than just LLM. 'algorithms' is probably a bad word here, I mean assisting tools like databases, algorithms, other models. Then only access API can be trained into LLM instead of the whole dataset for example.

> Note: I’m deliberately being blunt in this post because literally more than a decade of softspokenness from cryptography experts has done nothing to talk users off the PGP cliff. Being direct seems more effective than being tactful.

I hate PGP, too. However, I’ve spent money on five YubiKeys and several months of tinkering to make them somewhat work on Linux and WSL. I use them to sign my commits and Debian packages I build.

If your goal is to convince me to throw *all of this* away and sink another shitload of money into an alternative and re-do months of tinkering to make it actually work, then being deliberately blunt and condescending is not going to help your case.

Open source tools (outside of Blender, which has an amazing reputation among creative professionals) are not discussed at all in creative circles, there is no mirror image of creative professionals bashing open source tools.
I think the operators are learning how to hype-edge. You find that sweet spot between promising and 'not just there yet' where you can take lots of investments and iterate forward just enough to keep it going.

It doesn't matter if it can't actually 'get there' as long as people still believe it can.

Come to think about it, a socioeconomic system dependent on population and economic growth is at a fundamental level driven by this balancing act: "We can solve every problem if we just forge ahead and keep enlarging the base of the pyramid - keep reproducing, keep investing, keep expanding the infrastructure".

I made this comment before but someone on HN made a good argument is way harder than it sounds and given it's size/cost/function it'd basically have to point in one direction, it's not like an easily moveable telescope you can scan around with.
If your point is that it's written word, then neither is social media talking.

Both of them are people putting/ publishing text out to a mass audience, in a public way.
I mean, they were at one point making pretty extravagant claims about microwaves, but to a less credulous audience. Trouble with LLMs is that they look like magic if you don’t look too hard, particularly to laypeople. It’s far easier to buy into a narrative that they actually _are_ magic, or will become so.
Have you considered that the real estate is valuable because there's a commuter train across the street?

iirc there are Japanese railroads that recoup their costs by owning real estate that appreciates in value once a train exists. In Los Angeles the great cable car conspiracy was kind of the opposite, real estate developers built a train to make the suburbs appealing, and then once all the property was sold there was no reason to maintain the trains so they were scrapped, bait and switch really

It’s insane the excuses being made here for Netflix’s apparently unique circumstances.

They failed. Full stop. There is no valid technical reason they couldn’t have had a smooth experience. There are numerous people with experience building these systems they could have hired and listened to. It isn’t a novel problem.

Here are the other companies that are peers that livestream just fine, ignoring traditional broadcasters:

Yes, it opens a large attack surface for a group of people who thinks “memory-safe” is only possible when that word appears on the top of a language’s features list.
Out of curiosity, how is a physician negligent if decades of exposure to hypertension/LDL/smoking/diabetes (the variables on that calculator) give you a heart attack or stroke?

By the time you're put on a statin, for example, you've already had decades of exposure due to your lifestyle.

Also, I don't believe the claim that physicians don't care about CVD risk in patients <40yo including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
>It doesn’t help the underlying problems

If the complication was a subdural hematoma then similar procedures are still the standard of care today, and certainly we wouldn't be drilling to people's skulls as treatment if our ancestors never did anything similar.

>The discovery was the scientific method.

The "scientific method" is for use in objective science like measuring the speed of light. Until the patient dies, medical care is subjective. Its like with this recent election, telling a bunch of people that the "economy is good" doesn't matter if they themselves don't feel that way. In just the same way, 60 or 70 years ago someone from a developed country could've come into the undeveloped world and removed cancerous tumors by using surgical procedures that left someone with permanent disabilities, but maybe their witch doctor would've used some strange treatment that looked crazy and stupid but actually triggered a global immune response that not only removed the cancer but left the patient with a better outcome since they suffered no permanent side effects from the treatment, one which would be considered "more advanced" by today's standards, but wasn't even considered by the developed world back then. That one might claim something is "objectively" fact is only possible subjectively, and the hubris of believing that your subjective stance, even when accompanied by evidence, is absolutely true, will lead you to discount almost anything that stands outside of it as "unscientific." But you yourself cannot possibly die in your own experience, even though death is the condition of possibility for true objectivity, so until you reach that moment which never comes, you are constantly grappling with this dialectical approach to the world that constantly reshapes and reformulates itself in relation to all the experiences, feelings, and memories that you have.

>The answer to why people keep doing it is desperation and the immune system works, which means most illnesses work themselves out, including after the ineffective intervention.

It's true, but as I said most medical practices today are still derived from pre-modern medicine, even if they have been improved upon. One could make the same argument for much of what we do, since measuring outcomes won't always be able to differentiate between patients who get better on their own and those who improve with the treatment, since most treatments besides pills are impossible to test in a double blind study (you don't see double-blind studies for heart surgery techniques, for instance). Doctors do a lot based on their feelings about whats up and what they think works, far more than you are probably comfortable with, simply because there is no alternative besides constant self-criticism and research. That's why case studies are so important in the medical field, since they offer a subjective approach to the objective circumstance using objective tools that are determined subjectively.

I thought Twitter lists could only be used for a list of accounts, so you'd see everything posted by everyone in the list. Whereas Bluesky feeds can only show posts with certain tags/content etc, and can be based on things like your following/likes without you maintaining the list of those. I might be wrong though about the limitations of lists because I never used them much.

Yes, but it's not because computers/VPNs are involved, it's because it's used to do another illegal act (ie. accessing blocked or illegal content). It's not any different than anti-circumvention provisions in US law.

Most successful startups were able to make the thing that they wanted to make, as a startup, with existing tech. It might have a limited market that was expected to become less limited (a web app in 1996, say), but it was possible to make the thing.

This idea of “we’re a startup; we can’t actually make anything useful now, but once the tech we use becomes magic any day now we might be able to make something!” is basically a new phenomenon.
Even if we accept your paraphrase, that's still quite different from saying "... is irrelevant to Russia's security."

Its just better to have Generals in charge in Islamic countries (esp ones with Nukes). Look at what happens when Ayatollahs are sitting on the throne for too long. Thankfully Arab Spring ended with Generals in charge of Egypt instead of the braindead Muslim Brotherhood or Israel would have been fighting islamic fanatics on that front too.
There will be a pool of candidates who "passed", and hiring managers can search through that pool to decide who to take for their team. If there are fewer openings than candidates who "passed" or hiring managers aren't interested in taking someone, then these folks won't get an offer.

Because every distro runs it’s compilers with a variety of flags and safety features and library versions and ABI quirks that make supporting stable ABIs a pain in the butt.
It at least has the virtualization framework now. There’s a product called Anka that plugs into Jenkins and lets you deploy macOS VM images as build agents on top of physical Apple hardware. While slower than containers, and limited to 2 VMs (?!?) you can have reproducible and sane build environments via VM images.
Slack bet on ubiquitous, continuous internet access. Spotify bet on bandwidth costs falling to effectively zero. Shopify bet on D2C rising because improved search engines, increased internet shopping (itself a result of several tech trends plus demographic changes).

For a counterexample I think I’d look to non-tech companies. OrangeTheory maybe?
To be fair, I don't think the idea here is to follow this advice without doing some proper research. The radar helps me to find interesting developments, and to sift through the enormous amount of garbage that is out there.
Phase - Open source application secrets management platform for developers

What we are building and how it works (TL;DR):
- CLI that replaces .env files by imports secrets, encrypting and syncing them to the backend. The CLI injects secrets into any application at runtime as environment variables.
- A frontend web app to CRUD key, value pairs across dev, staging, prod envs. Add teammates. View logs.
- An backend API to store secrets data. Sync them to common platforms like GitHub, Kubernetes, AWS etc.

Tech stack:
- Next.js frontend
- Python / Django backend (django-rq, django REST, graphene graphql)
- Postgresql
- Redis

I think if one did curate such a list, then importance (both number of users, and societal impact) should be a key factor. KiCad is an important project on both dimensions.
Thank you for this. I guess to add something, I moved to a different city to take this job. I don't have friends or family where I live. I do have one friend at work. He works on the front-end team and we meet outside of work sometimes for lunch. So I'm sure the isolation wouldn't be as bad if I had more of a social group outside of work. But I appreciate you mentioning that it's not that uncommon for devs to feel alone and isolated.

I love electrification. Honestly after having gotten an electric car with smooth acceleration and no vibration, riding the diesel Caltrain feels like a massive step backwards in user experience, even though it's probably still better for the environment to take a diesel train than to drive. I had absolutely no discomfort issues on Caltrain before I got used to electric cars, so my body has become more sensitive.
I mean, if Trump does half of what he’s claiming he’ll do, the US won’t be anything resembling a free market; it’ll be a Russian-style patronage-based economy, where success is largely predicated on who you know and on how much money you shovel their way. Like, he hasn’t been subtle about this.

(In particular, the ‘crippling tariffs, with exceptions for the Right Sort of companies’ thing is all but shouting ‘bribes, please’ from the rooftops.)

It’s unclear to me what you think DEI has to do with anything.
Ever read The Razor's Edge?

My post doc mentor gave me that book to read, and didn't really tell me why. The first half is socialite nonsense. But then there's a deep dive into finding joy in life that isn't related to work.

He could see that my very poor background was making me look to move up to high pay, high stress jobs and was politely trying to intervene.

Finding balance is hard, but worth it. I'm making less than I should at a job that's okay. But I have 45 days of PTO, and another 18-20 holidays. I can take two full months off every year and nobody complains.
And other people don't like them aesthetically or conceptually.

It's great how we can all make our own decisions when communicating, and can ignore judgement from people who say that they are "necessary". You're treating fragmede like they brought up "/s" as some sort of virtue signaling, when they were pushing back on porcoda for attempting to impose controversial new-age grammar.
This is such a tired trope, especially when made in a forum where a substantial amount of contributors believe that if they release a collection of digital files that are accompanied with the correct words which constitute something called a "license", I am obliged to follow its demands.

The best alarm clock I've ever had is a smartwatch that does this vibrating. No more stupid digital screaming. Just a nice gentle tapping pattern on my wrist, and then a fading bit of music. I'm usually awake and hitting stop before the music really starts.
This isn't as true as it used to be, now that Apple is getting increased revenue from subscriptions. If your old iPhone continues to work well, then Apple has a better chance of selling you Apple Music, Apple TV, etc. etc.
> The 8.5% thing you talk about is not really that great

I would be inclined to disagree — it is absolutely wonderful for solo entrepreneurs. You might say "it only makes sense for small one person companies", but that's exactly what my business is and intends to be.

You can easily run a SaaS business with 90%/80%/75% margins (gross/operating/net), which I think is really hard to beat anywhere in the world.

For people who want to stop working for "the man", become in control of their lives and earn money from a SaaS business, this is great.
Why didn’t they use Netflix AI to solve the problems?
Reversing Bits Cheatsheets
Sure. I mean, humans are very good at building businesses and technologies that are resilient to human fallibility. So when we think of applications where LLMs might replace or augment humans, it’s unsurprising that their fallible nature isn’t a showstopper.

Sure, EDA tools are deterministic, but the humans who apply them are not. Introducing LLMs to these processes is not some radical and scary departure, it’s an iterative evolution.
Honestly you didn't miss much, every (real) boxing fan thought of this as a disgrace and a shame when announced. putting a 58 year old Tyson against a crackhead filled with steroids (Jake Paul) ? Either case it would have been a shame on Jake Paul for even getting in the ring with such an old boxer.

In boxing you are old by 32 or maybe 35 year old for heavy weight, and everything goes down very very fast.

End of rant.
It's actually a great topic - both humans and LLMs are black boxes. And both rely on patterns and abstractions that are leaky. And in the end it's a matter of trust, like going to the doctor.

But we have had extensive experience with humans, it is normal to have better defined trust, LLMs will be better understood as well. There is no central understander or truth, that is the interesting part, it's a "Blind men and the elephant" situation.

The challenge is maintaining the multiple independent systems when faced with pressures like "hey, if we consolidated systems, the the % of waiting list patients who die within 6 months of enrolling goes from 8% to 4%, and the % who receive a transplant go from 60% to 65%".

The UK system undoubtedly had a bad outcome, but the reasoning behind consolidation was sound, and the benefits real and ACTUALLY achieved (just not dispersed justly). Maintaining independent systems would mitigate against some of these failures, but would long-term be out performed by a responsive consolidated system (which I think is ultimately what the article is arguing for - not against algorithms, but against black-box algorithms that are not responsive or amendable to public scrutiny and feedback).

There are definitely times and places with independent implementations provide a strong benefits, but I think this is a much more borderline scenario.

And btw, the US has a unified organ matching system.
That’s uncharitable. Proposing reasons for institutional failure and discussing those can be ways for humans to improve communication and said challenges.
