Wow, I got something completely different from that book. It's crazy how two people can read the same thing and have drastically different takeaways.
And the more I think about this, it's a really interesting perspective. My friend in the million dollar house probably prefers to be a not sucker victim. Could be a fundamental difference, there.
> ...tragedy of following Postel's Law.

The "law" is: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send."

But here the problem is caused by being liberal in what is sent while being more conservative in what is accepted. It's using invalid characters in the cookie value, which not everything can handle.

Following Postel's law would have avoided the problem.
does anybody remember the name of the board game that you turned knobs on the outside of the box to tilt on the x/y axis to drive the marble around the board?

Do rivers have a smell? Animals have a keen sense of smell and the volume of rivers is enormous. Seems like a random-walk sniffing for rivers would be effective.
We all get along just fine here, thank you.

And the fact that throwback opinions like yours (on this matter) are broadly and deeply discouraged, I find quite enjoyable, also.
Thank you! I didn’t add a way for people from other regions to sign up, like a newsletter since I figured most people dislike it here on HN. You can check back on this thread in 2–3 weeks, and there should be an update comment from me announcing a new version of the planner with the US region included.
Prince Nico Mbarga was not someone I expected to see on HN. What a throwback to the past. Sweet Mother was practically required on the playlist at any event where your mother was going to be recognized in some form or the other (which is pretty much every important event)
Yeah, but why use the more powerful GA4 if you want a simple dashboard like Plausible?

Another concern with GA4 is that visitors data goes to Google – not good if you have privacy-minded customers. (Naturally, this shouldn't be a problem in your case as you market to those already using GA4.)
> It would be similar to if I claimed that an LLM is an expert doctor, but in my data I've filtered out all of the times it gave incorrect medical advice.

Computationally it's trivial to detect illegal moves, so it's nothing like filtering out incorrect medical advice.
Pretty sure it was Labyrinth.
It's very easy to say "why don't we just stop using toxic petrochemicals," but very hard to do in practice. For a sustainability advancement to be considered a success, it has to actually replace something. To replace something, it:

- has to be affordable, or people will refuse to buy it. The general public cares more for its wallet than the environment.

- has to be at least as performant as what it's replacing, or people won't want to change. The general public is not going to buy an inferior product in the name of sustainability.

- has to be more environmentally friendly than what preceeded it, or it has no benefit.

If you can find a more environmentally friendly material that is able to replace plastic, achieve its physical properties, at the same cost, then patent it and you will be very wealthy. And will have outplayed the billions (probably a lowball) being dumped into this by governments, universities, and private companies around the world.

Also, the reason most of these articles hype their own work up is because the name of the game in academia is grant money. If a funding agency doesn't think your work is impactful, they'll give it to someone who is. That's why articles rarely describe their incremental work as just being incremental.
What do you mean by "UFOs"?

If you mean are there things in the sky that people can't identify, then yes, they're real.

If you mean are there alien ships, then who knows? But the odds are exceedingly low that there are, and there is no strong evidence of them that I'm aware of, so if I were a betting man, I'd say "no".
> There is no summary of these photographs which gives information about the world over and above just summarising patterns in the night sky.

You're stating this as fact but it seems to be the very hypothesis the authors (and related papers) are exploring. To my mind, the OthelloGPT papers are plainly evidence against what you've written - summarising patterns in the sky really does seem to give you information about the world above and beyond the patterns themselves.

(to a scientist this is obvious, no? the precession of mercury, a pattern observable in these photographs, was famously not compatible with known theories until fairly recently)

> Modelling the measurement data is taking cardboard and cutting it out so it matches the shadows. Modelling the world means creating clay pots to match the ones passing by.

I think these are matters of degree. The former is simply a worse model than the latter of the "reality" in this case. Note that our human impressions of what a pot "is" are shadows too, on a higher-dimensional stage, and from a deeper viewpoint any pot we build to "match" reality will likely be just as flawed. Turtles all the way down.
New European Wealth Gauge Helps Policymakers Address Inequality
I think this is a great explanation.

The "Ladder of Causation" proposed by Judea Pearl covers similar ground - "Rung 1” reasoning is the purely predictive work of ML models, "Rung 2" is the interactive optimization of reinforcement learning, and "Rung 3" is the counterfactual and casual reasoning / DGP construction and work of science. LLMs can parrot Rung 3 understanding from ingested texts but it can't generate it.
Whether or not this is “true,” it’s not explanatory.

Someone asked how a thing works, and the answer above is essentially just restating that it does in fact work, for some ineffable, immeasurable reason.

So while interesting to think about, it’s not a useful response to the question.
Prospect of RFK Jr. as head of HHS panics many in medical science community
For servers there are passive cooled n100 variants on Aliexpress with multiple Intel i226 2.5GE network interfaces. We benchmarked them - they are able to serve line rate on all interfaces with a few routing/firewall routes. We bunkered a few of them in case we have a serve emergency situation - this allows us to setup infrastructure in zero time.

The next bigger variant (n305) is getting too hot - but at that point I'd start looking into variants which use an AMD notebook CPU.
Luckily, it seems like the common folk have more sense than this. Recall (pun totally intended) the reaction of SF residents to funding renaming of schools to erase the specter of colonialism instead of funding math programs.
> Why does an LLM have to be better than you to be useful to you?

If

((time to craft the prompt) + (time required to fix LLM output)) ~ (time to achieve the task on my own)

it's not hard to see that working on my own is a very attractive proposition. It drives down complexity, does not require me to acquire new skills (i.e., prompt engineering), does not require me to provide data to a third party nor to set up an expensive rig to run a model locally, etc.
> I disagree, I think the "nice little polished experience" is the difficult part.

Right, I agree, most of the time will be spent in the polish. But is there really no resources out there on how to polish? Assuming there isn't, what would you want a tutorial to contain to make it apply to a wider audience, as polish is typically hyper-specific to the project.

> If this process was easy and well documented, Netlify wouldn't hire an external agency.

Companies don't typically hire external agencies because something is difficult for them to do per se, but more that it would be wasteful for them to spend the time building something like that instead of focusing on things core to the business.

FWIW: I'm asked parent about this in order to see if there are actual gaps in the available resources today for what parent wanted to do, hence the question to specify what exactly they're looking for. I guess "how to polish" is a valid answer, but again, there are resources out there to help understand how to approach that.

That was not the point of the article. The point was that the narrowness of circumstance - living between riches and poverty and what type of person can handle that (not to mention the unique problems that might come up with that) - requires someone that can balance that sort of situation.

I fail to see the connection between Dostoevsky and air defence. Following the same logic, I should stop listening to Beethoven (because of nazis), or drive a Honda because of unit 731. Say whatever you want, but people will listen to Tchaikovsky and read Tolstoy hundreds of years from now.
Fullmetal Alchemist had a plot point where critical information was hidden in a cookbook. So sure why not have that happen in real life.
How is this without ads? It's sole purpose was to be a marketing tool and interrupts the game play with...ads.
It also reminds me of the horrible stories that exist on the Internet about people committing suicide by means of a paracetamol overdose (usually with a lot of alcohol as well).

They are found, rushed to the hospital, they wake up and feel better, everybody can meet them and see them alive and know of their attempt -- but they're walking dead, their liver is incurably damaged and they die in a few days.
I have a 9 month old and we are drowning in toys. We have bought very few of them. The article is clearly not written by a parent because it barely touches on Buy Nothing Groups on Facebook.

We've barely bought any clothes either. They all come from Buy Nothing groups. Kids grow out of toys and clothes every 3 months. Parents are desperate to offload this stuff.

And my wife has become a hoarder as have other parents in the neighbourhood. Buy Nothing groups seem to set off some sort of hoarding affliction in parents.
The idea that 21% of US adults are "illiterate" doesn't mean they can't read, by the way:

> English literacy test results from 2014 suggest that 21% of U.S. adults ages 16 to 65 score at or below PIAAC literacy level 1, meaning they have difficulty "[completing] tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences." Included in that 21% is the 4.2% of respondents who were unable to be assessed due to language barriers, cognitive disability, or physical disability.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States

A lot of people aren't aware that the academic definition of "literacy" was changed around 1950 to no longer refer to "alphabetical literacy", which is still what most people think literacy means (in lay usage).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy

And this particular survey ignored people who didn't speak English but were entirely literate in their native language. Which obviously has nothing to do with the educational system or people's intelligence.
It’s a kernel. They can migrate Android to it overnight and you won’t see a difference.

It took a literal felon, friend of pedophiles, and fan of fascists to dismantle them, so shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
> Many languages, such as PHP, don't have native functions for parsing cookies, which makes it somewhat difficult to definitively say what it allows and does not allow.

What?

Send a cookie with https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php or https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setrawcookie.php

Well, when your science explains where the 5/6ths of the missing matter in the universe is, or where the "dark energy" is, I'm all ears.

Also, you can try to explain how individual proteins arrange themselves into bilaterally symmetrical, organ-infused organisms of astounding complexity, using only protein recipes.

I know you can't explain it, but that doesn't mean you won't try.

There is the known, the unknown, and the unknowable. For many, entire branches of the unknown are unknowable because they refuse to expand their criteria for how they evaluate the facts. Sherlock Holmes' father had a quote to the effect about once you have eliminated the possible, all that's left is the impossible (bad paraphrase, I know).
Do you mean `Generically`[1]? I've only ever vaguely seen its use - perhaps it can do something a `newtype` can't (or can, but with more boilerplate)? But don't have any first-hand experience currently to comment.

Show HN: WeSQL – Agile MySQL with S3-Based Storage
WeSQL is an innovative MySQL distribution that adopts a compute-storage separation architecture, with storage backed by S3 (and S3-compatible systems). It can run on any cloud, ensuring no vendor lock-in.

WeSQL has completely replaced MySQL’s traditional disk storage with S3. All MySQL data—binlogs, schemas, storage engine metadata, WAL, and data files—are entirely (not partially!) stored as objects in S3. The 11 nines of durability provided by S3 significantly enhances data reliability. Additionally, WeSQL can start from a clean, empty instance, connect to S3, load the data, and begin serving immediately with no additional setup required.

It is ideal for users who need an easy-to-manage, cost-effective, and developer-friendly MySQL database solution, especially for those needing support for both Serverless and BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud).

Feel free to start trying WeSQL in your development and testing environments!

> Shelves overflowing with cars and blocks and action figures can be just as stressful for kids as they are for parents. Sometimes “kids don’t play with anything, because there’s just too many options,” said Sarah Davis

I find it quite interesting that "choice fatigue" is found just about everywhere, from what show to watch on Netflix to what toy your kid picks up. Semi related anecdote but I recently picked up a Steam Deck with the intention of emulating PS2 games. One thing I was very intentional about is to not load it up right away with every game imaginable but rather, go one game at a time, much like I used to when I still had to buy these games at the store.

I use the Deck quite often and attribute much of that to the fact that I limited my game options, as if I loaded up every game I could possibly play then I would just drown in choices.
A song needs to be valuable, and for that it needs to be both popular and sound new.

If it is too close(there are criteria for this) or it is sampling from someone else's, they need to pay royalties.

That is how it always has worked.
pretty cliche itself I'd say. Like a teen who thinks sarcasm is highbrow.
Then they might indeed not be the right tool for what you're trying to do.

I'm just a little bit tired of sweeping generalizations like "LLMs are completely broken". You can easily use them as a tool part of a process that then ends up being broken (because it's the wrong tool!), yet that doesn't disqualify them for all tool use.

This is the right answer^

But even more, the level at which WebGPU exists (not too high level, not too low level) necessitates that if a native API graphics abstraction sticks with the WebGPU's API design and only 'extends' it, you actually end up with three totally different ways to use the API:

* The one with your native 'extensions' -> your app will only run natively and never in the browser unless you implement two different WebGPU rendering backends. Also won't run on Chromebook-type devices that only have GLES-era hardware.

* The WebGPU browser API -> your app will run in the browser, but not on GLES-era hardware. Perish in the verbosity of not having bindless support.

* The new 'compatability' mode in WebGPU -> your app runs everywhere, but perish in the verbosity of not having bindless, suffer without reversed-z buffers because the underlying API doesn't support it.

And if you want your app to run in all three as best as possible, you need to write three different webgpu backends for your app, effectively, as if they are different APIs and shading languages.
In this case I did some tests with latest dash and latest bash. I tested only with builtin `test`.
Toys are cheap, many last a long time, and they're handed down / given away regularly. Even when we bought toys we got them at a second hand store and they were crazy cheap.

By the time I had a second child we didn't "need" anymore toys, but we still got them for birthdays, holidays and so on.
yeah, maybe. nothing's ever as easy in reality as on paper, but i've always considered my pet projects as long-term endeavors. i can keep working on the same thing for years at a time, and the reason i haven't actually done the chess thing despite often fantasizing about it is that i don't know if i can commit to it without adversely impacting my other pet projects.

Show HN: Codebrew – An open-source AI-powered development workflow (early stage)
Hi HN! I'm working on a suite of open-source developer tools, and I'd love to get early feedback on the approach and architecture.

What I'm building:
Codebrew is an AI-powered development workflow tool that aims to automate ticket management, code reviews, and time tracking. It's part of a planned ecosystem alongside two other tools I've been developing: Pyrite (real-time collaboration) and Expressio (i18n automation).

Current status:

• Expressio: Working alpha (https://codeberg.org/garage44/workspace/src/branch/main/pack...)
- Automatic i18n with DeepL
- Built with Bun
- Already being used in small projects

• Pyrite: Being refactored
- Moving from Vue to Preact
- Real-time collaboration platform
- Built on Galène SFU

• Codebrew: Early development
- Integrating Claude for ticket refinement
- Building Wakapi integration for time tracking
- Planning GitHub/GitLab/Forgejo integrations

Tech stack:

• Backend: Bun/Node.js

• Frontend: Preact

• AI: Claude/Anthropic

• All open-source under MIT license

Why I'm building this:
As a solo developer, I found myself spending too much time on routine tasks. While there are many great tools out there, they often feel disconnected or too complex for smaller teams. I'm aiming for something that's both powerful and lightweight.

The vision:

1. Keep each tool useful on its own

2. Build toward optional integration (project name: Nexus)

3. Focus on developer experience and automation

4. Stay open-source while building sustainable features

Looking for:

• Feedback on the architecture and approach

• Potential early adopters/testers

• Contributors interested in any of the components

• Thoughts on what features would be most valuable

Links:

• Workspace: https://codeberg.org/garage44/garage44

• Expressio docs: https://codeberg.org/garage44/garage44/src/branch/main/packa...

• Development blog: https://garage44.org

I know it's early days, but I believe in building in public and would love to hear your thoughts, especially from developers who've faced similar challenges in their workflows.
