Talking about a "toxic person" is starting on an ontological track that is deprived of any possible way to make everyone satisfied. Instead it’s possible to think about toxic behavior. Now, maybe a behavior is so deeply enshrined in a person that abrogating it is out of reach for the social organization that is considering this person behavior as a source of nuisance. But this is not necessarily the case and maybe there are option to help the person change and become part of a more harmonious social structure.

Using a "isolate poor performers" and "excellent beings" has well known backfire consequences that history largely document.
Show HN: Hops – Chat to build backoffice with AI
Why the US Is Struggling to Return to the Moon [video]
Yes. I have to develop against it sometimes. It is ridiculous how buggy this old software still is. And MS tries to put "new" features into it and shutting down hopelessly old but still more feature-rich components, making it even worse over time.
Sadly but true. The latest issue is that the EC would rather see the auto industry fail than to change its climate objectives. It looks like it gotten so bad that Germany started speaking up against emissions goals and most likely would try to block any measures.

I don't think Arianne is successful as it relies on traditional technology to launch things into space and they can't be competitive with SpaceX.

The EU is the laughing stock of the world: AI regulation is in force, but no single AI company in Europe :)) - just to name one example.
Hi HN! I'm Hyojun Kang, CEO & Co-founder of Hops, and we've built an AI-powered tool that lets you build backoffice applications through natural language conversation.

# Why we built this:

As former startup engineers, we faced a constant struggle: balancing time between core product development and building backoffice. While these tools were essential for operations, their development and maintenance consumed significant engineering hours that could have been spent on our main product.

We needed a system that would let us build these tools quickly while maintaining full control over the development process. That's where we saw an opportunity: by leveraging AI, we could not only generate the tools we need but also eliminate the learning curve associated with traditional low-code platforms.

Now, instead of studying platform-specific concepts, engineers can simply describe what they need in natural language and get working solutions immediately.

# What makes Hops different:

Instead of traditional low-code platforms that require learning new interfaces and concepts, Hops uses two familiar paradigms:

- Natural language - describe what you need, and our AI generates complete workflows

- Notion-like interface - just type "/" to add components, similar to writing in Notion

# Technical details:

- Connects to existing databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and APIs

- Generate both frontend components and backend logic

- No new infrastructure needed - works with your existing stack

- AI understands database schema and generates appropriate queries

- Built-in workflow system for data transformation and task automation

# Try it out:

You can test Hops at https://app.hops.pub . We've set up a demo environment with sample databases so you can experience how the AI understands and implements your requirements.

Example conversation:

"Create a page that displays a list of customers as a searchable table and displays the order history of the selected customer as a relational table"

-> Hops generates a complete page with the requested table, appropriate database queries, and filtering logic.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, especially from others who've dealt with internal tool development challenges.
how far in are we in those thousands of years?

Because someone decides what language to write a new thing in is very likely to consider Go and Rust. They are very unlikely to consider Java.

Are Rust and Go sufficiently different that they should each be chosen in different cases? Sure! But that’s literally why someone would consider both and pick one.
…And it’s horribly ugly to boot.
Intuitively, this makes perfect sense.

Non-lonely people interact with one another, continuously exposing themselves to each others views and opinions (even if indirectly).

A lonely person won't be part of this echo chamber, so their opinions will usually be self-formed and less influenced by the collective opinion of others.

It's easy to see how this creates a feedback loop. A lonely person doesn't share as many worldviews with non-lonely people, so has a harder time fitting in, which makes breaking the cycle even harder.
I liked the idea of a language with minimal syntax that is easy to learn and easy to understand because the code is forced to be straightforward. It didn't work out that way to me in practice.

It's a bit too low level for many use cases in my opinion, and that does get in the way somewhat. It also works against the "easy to learn" part unless you start with developers familiar with low level programming.

I also found some types of library code surprisingly difficult to read, especially when empty interfaces where used.

The standard library was great though, it covered stuff that others don't and it just worked out of the box.
Only the Quran is guaranteed to be unchanged (but the interpretations and translations are not so guaranteed), the Hadiths are not.

The proper perspective is that if the Hadith and Quran are in conflict, the Quran is the authoratative source.

From our Sufi perspective, the Hadiths are a lot of game of telephone.

And if the Quran is difficult to apply, remember that compassion is the entire purpose of all God's religions.
Northvolt's leadership seem extremely incompetent, reading the news here in Sweden the CEO has been lambasted by former employees on how bad he was for executing the plan.

But this happens all the time in the USA, it's quite funny to read comments on HN about how Europe is losing to USA's "innovation" but when one company does follow the USA model (huge injection of capital, unreliable/inexperienced leadership, failure to execute/pivot) then it's an apocalyptic sign. It's risky, and in this case it failed spectacularly.
Oh well, here we go again... (2022)
I love Go, so I am biased. However, the beautiful thing about Go is that it doesn't even attempt to prevent classes of bugs by making them impossible. It's a car with ABS but no lane assist, with power steering but no collision detection.

Out of all the bugs which Go permits I have yet to see one which could survive in production for some time without being discovered. Almost all of them would cause a failure the first time a segment of code is run.
Replace "perfect" with "likely optimal" and you get the general thrust of it without the deus ex machina.
It's low quality AI slob. That's already offensively disrespectful to the readers on its own.
Not really, it means both. A simple 4 square strip in a newspaper is also called bande dessinée.
So is the media sensationalist, or what I need to read to understand the media was sensationalist? :)

True, but it doesn't mean you can code it to be in this situation.

Show HN: Universal Design AI – Create Universal Design in 10 Seconds with AI
Hi HN!

I’m excited to share Universal Design AI, a platform that helps creators and designers generate inclusive product design concepts in just 10 seconds using AI.

Why I Built This:

When you search “universal design” on Google, all you find are endless discussions about methodologies, but nowhere to actually get inspiration. That’s why I created this tool—to let anyone generate design concepts visually in just 10 seconds.

Key Features:

• 12 Product Categories: From mobility to eco-friendly products.
• AI-Powered Visualization: Quickly turn ideas into concepts.
• Fast and Easy: Just type in your idea, and see results in seconds.

Check it out here: https://universaldesignai.com

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Let me know how I can improve!
So you made a bunch of claims and then linked an unrelated article?
I also heard this was partly to do with demand moving towards LiFePo4 batteries and their setup being completely unprepared for that.
As someone who was helping to implement GDPR for clients when it took effect, it was a nightmare. We didn’t know exactly what to do, or when, or where, or to whom. The easiest solution for a lot of the implantations was “do the most so we don’t miss something, and pull back bits as we know more”.

The few interactions that I've had with homeless people gave me an impression that the thing they needed the most was human interaction. They'd be thankful if they received a meal, but they'd start talking in a way that made me think that what they needed the most was for someone to listen to them or some human interaction. It didn't seem like many people would ever stick around for more than a few seconds.

I'm talking about a very small sample size here, but still.
When I started using Redis, Redis was a true open source project. There was no company yet.

Caveat - this is absolutely not purporting to be a benchmark, it was as big a (pleasant and counterintuitive) surprise to me as to anyone.
Every time I read a critique of Go, I feel the same way: I'm still going to continue to use it anyways. The reason why I am going to continue to use it anyways is because while I understand that it has plenty of easily documented issues in theory (and that people regularly do actually run into in practice), I still find that it is one of the better programming languages in practice anyways. Some of the things that people commonly list as shortcomings I don't agree with (I like the explicit error handling everywhere) and for other things... I often agree, but it doesn't bother me much more than the shortcomings of other programming languages, of which there is certainly no shortage.

I guess I feel bad for people who are particularly sensitive to the areas that Go does not succeed in, because they are probably going to be complaining about it for the rest of their lives. The truth is though, I don't use a bunch of rationale about what is the best programming language to choose which one to work on for a project, I choose a language that I feel works well for me, that I feel I can consistently write good software in, that feels, well, nice to work in. Being a person that values correctness, I do sort of wish that language could be something more like Rust, but for now, it's just not, though it's not like I hate Rust, it's just not what I reach for in a pinch.

Enough has been written about how terrible Go is by this point. At least now I know what it's like to have been a fan of PHP a few years ago! (That's an exaggeration, but it's not that big of one in my opinion.)
Volkswagen has their own plans with its subsidary PowerCo, and since EV adoption is slower than expected, they may (partly) drop Northvolt in favor of PowerCo. Interestingly they canceled their plan for a second battery plant in Germany due to high energy costs.

Regarding Germany: I still do not understand how you want to electrify everything, reduce CO2 emissions, and then shut down fully working nuclear power plants in the middle of an energy supply crisis. This is completely beyond me. I know there are people defending this decision, but I can only attribute this to malice or idiocy.
The superpower of go is goroutines and channels. The kryptonite of go is its limited libraries. Go is a great choice for many concurrent applications. I couldn’t finish reading the article because it lacked focus.
There will be rules based on location no matter what you do. You don't need a state for that. People live in places, and they have customs and etiquette and rules of decorum. You probably won't be able to walk around naked in Kabul no matter whether there's a state or not.

the state is needed to protect this person from undue punishment and give them a fair trial. the same goes for benign things like traffic violations or for murder. the moment where a rule violation crosses multiple groups you get an issue with jurisdiction. the only way to resolve that is by having an entity governing rules for the locality. otherwise justice can't be enforced.

now again, we don't need the nation states from today to do that. a global system would be better, but we still need local enforcement and local influence over what the rules are. there is simply no way around that if we want to protect all individuals in a location.

in general when it comes to enforcement of rules and punishment, the only groups that will survive will be faith based ones, because for any other group people will simply leave if they feel they are not being treated fairly. we can already see that with the controversies around some code of conduct violations. only the people who have a big stake in the group or depend on the group will accept any punishment. others will just give up and find another group.

the only way to avoid that is to have justice be handled by an independent institution. it can't come from the group itself, or we make it difficult to switch groups.

They were probably optimistic, incorrectly. It's easy to think everything will work when you have a written guarantee from the government, and have never personally experienced a dysfunctional, authoritarian bureaucracy.
Paywall. Anyway, it's also worth comparing inflation adjusted prices. Over the last 40 years, the fare to go the same distance has halved.

While some of that might be trimming away "the experience", I think it's more likely that with lower overall costs the same "X% towards customer experience" allocation doesn't go nearly as far.

Meanwhile the realists found the world to be a combustion chamber from life that adapted itself to the combustion chamber and whorships the adaption process instincts.

And we all agreed that staying in the surplus valley of the combustion process is nice, as long as science can deliver. And now we have to jam machinery into our lifes so we can remain sentient, while at the same time speculating for another delivery of surplus coming down the line. Panopticon here, social networks there- and it does nothing yet, atrocities in wartime and civil unrest are still rampant.
The vision for robotaxis at this stage it pretty obvious and like you say undeniable - the profits though will be mostly there for those with first mover advantage that can make their brand name the verb for driving somewhere.

It didn't take great vision or foresight to see the uber app back in the early 2010's and see how things will play out vis-a-vis getting rid of the driver - and my money is still with them (literaly) from a brand name perspective only.
I felt the same but after switching to anyhow and thiserror in pretty much every Rust project I work on I find it quite painless. It's not ideal to rely on crates for a core language feature but I never find myself fighting error types anymore. Have you tried those crates? Do you still hold that opinion?

"Hello, how should we address you?". Not everything must be done in code.

I have yet to encounter a system recognizing assets and making automatic decisions based on name. It would fail already if the user switched first/last name.

You could have started by explaining this right way and we'd be all smarter.
When you think about it, the goal of browsers is to MITM the data in order to present it in a way that is helpful to the users.

Having programmed for over 30 years, including nearly a decade of C#, I would say exceptions are one of the worst ideas in all of programming.

They are just horrific gotos that any library can invoke against your code. They are pretty much never, ever handled correctly. And nearly always, after an exception is “handled”, the application is actually in an unknown state and cannot be reasoned about.

Even junior engineers have a trivial time debugging most go errors, while even experienced principles struggle with figuring out the true cause of a Java exception.
In Europe for one that are regulations that make sure that cars are as safe for pedestrians as possible.
Understanding SIMD: Infinite Complexity of Trivial Problems

I think anyone who listens to Musk talking about something they themselves know a lot about quickly realises that Musk's skills are elsewhere. He can motivate and market the hell out of a business whilst snorting more ketamine than a herd of horses but he is not a technical genius by any means. He pays people well to agree with him and fires them when they don't, so I suspect that his companies that produce better and more stable products do so because he micromanages them less.
Grifters and con artists are skilled in the ways of grifting and cons.

Note "Britishvolt" suffered the same fate 12-18 months earlier and the story reads pretty much the same.
> What do you mean by shape?

I talk about the front shape and its effect on pedestrian safety.
The article about the cyber truck always talk about how its wedge shape will slice people off or whatever... but the Standard American truck shape (big flat front nose) is just as dangerous, being hit by a speeding wall is not beneficial either.

If publications want to talk about bad truck shapes in good faith, talk about ALL truck shapes! Singling out the truck made by Tesla when the trucks made by other American automakers is just as dangerous is obvious click bait, and just pollutes the EV news scape.

> The F150, generously, is 2/3 the weight. (median F150 vs. lowest cybertruck)

I was comparing like with like, and acc to google the F150 EV is about the same weight as the Cybertruck. (around ~ 3,000 Kg)

Also I was referring to the line in this article where they talk about how it doesn't meet EU regulations, which leads to another article[1] of their, which talks a LOT about cybertruck's bad front shape... (which I must mention for clarity, IS bad)... but make no mention of the even WORSE shapes by other competing American trucks.

Because the fact is... Tesla sells clicks. They reference a letter [2] by the NGO protesting about the (private) import of this particular turck... but said NGO's website makes no mention of OTHER dangerous american trucks privately imported to europe and parading about. The story is not the shape or pedestrian safety... it's click.

Btw, I am not in Europe. I live in a 3rd world country, not sure where I gave that insinuation.

TL:DR; ALL american trucks are terribly shaped and designed or whatever. ALL american trucks have multiple other issues and recalls... as is routine with the damn things.

Yet this particular stupid truck gets posted because it's click bait, NOT because there is some actual information to be gained. We should downvote such clickbait pollution on our feeds.
Loving God is not for God's benefit, but for ours. Our emanating love towards our Creator helps us emanate compassion for all our fellow human beings. It is the Greatest Command(ment), and the sole purpose of religion.

As such -- as you say -- changing positions is good for our body which helps us to be more physically comfortable in this magnificent machine. Happiness is God's desire for us, but It has given us the absolutely free will to choose happiness or its opposites. A prayerful life is for personal and societal growth towards selfless compassion for all others, and away from selfish callous disregard for others.
Your docs are your infrastructure
How does it compare to a car sharing company? It has all the same costs for the vehicle and the driver/pilot is free in both models, in one it is AI and the other it is just the user.
Sure. You can do that. But the community needs a single standard. Open standard that all in-memory data stores like Redis, ValKey, DragonflyDB, KeyDB, Kvrocks will support. Otherwise you will end up in a vendor lock.
It is tho. Car are symbols for most people, not just a tool that has 4 wheel.

Cybertruck are the equivalent of a pair of thick nerdy glasses.
Having a supplier/disti work with you to get the best deal doesn't happen very often. Mostly due to the fact that they could leave money on the table. If you order something with the wrong configuration they can always sell you another thing with the right configuration...

There is also a possibility of cultural differences and who knows what the Chinese thought the Europeans wanted when they did not send complete specs for the equipment. In some countries it is not customary to challenge the client - but I do not know if it applies to China as well.

I've seen how they build stuff in China, and most likely Nothvolt thought it could do some things on their own without understanding what those things would entail. Maybe if they would have asked the supplier to come in and setup the factory and also run the first batches of finished batteries the situation would have been different.

Somehow I think now they're trying to find a scapegoat for the whole debacle and blame on the usual suspects.
You're trying to say the machine itself is the problem, when it's not the machine it's the operator. You're trying to shift blame here.
My impression is that if you are a contractor type person, daily going to and from a jobsite, your commute is 50 miles, so electricity works well, and is cost effective, just from the business side of things.

Additionally there is the potential to use the f150 as an alternative to small generators, for those places where there is not full power.
That's really interesting, can you provide some links to the sources you reference?
