> Nothing that is visible "below the fold" should ever run or load until the page is scrolled down by the site visitor.

On the other extreme, completely deferring any loading of 'below-the-fold' content until it's visible can also have horrendous consequences, if that loading involves downloading any external resources. Not every visitor can just make further requests near-instantly, and it's those RTTs that really slow pages down, in my experience. Excess API calls are just one (very common) source of excess RTTs.

The obvious compromise would be to load 'below-the-fold' content ASAP once all 'above-the-fold' content is finished, unless it's unacceptably heavy for the target device. (Then again, some people still won't be happy: I recently talked to one person who derided the load times of a certain blog, but I found that all of its meaningful content was loaded and visible very quickly: they were only taking issue with the Disqus comment widget at the bottom at the page.)

I think I got hit by that being not exactly 4096. Some elements would grab a selector handle, then disappear, but take the handle with them. It's been too long, and my memory is too crap, to be sure. But I think I sat there growling cursewords for a few days until I worked that one out.

No, even if you just type "David de Rothschild", it glitches similarly.

As others have pointed out, it's happening even if you do non-trivial encoding. I've tried with languages other than English too.

It might be a little hard to trivialize this one away.
What middle ground do you propose that's as efficient to get rolling as React in 2024? You talk about not reinventing state and history in JS, but at this point the reinvention is already done and React is the pragmatic choice that you pick when you don't want to reinvent the frontend.

There are a bunch of stacks that I prefer to work in for my own projects, but what I need at work is almost always the standard option that everyone is already used to.

I don’t get tired on a good cadence so this doesn’t work for me. I have to follow a schedule that’s independent of how awake, motivated, or tired I feel.
Surely the philosophy of science has results, no?

Aren't positivism, anti-postitivism, post-positivism, experientialism, and critical realism among others we can rubric psychology or psychological thinkers or results against?

You’re not. Someone above you should be. Otherwise that’s incompetence.
It would not be malicious. I don't think there's a serious argument here (bearing in mind that in the airless vacuum of a message we can, of course, argue anything).

I don't know that's what happened here, though; there are malicious possible explanations!
As a non Brazilian, sometimes when a government says a company is spying on its citizens, they mean that they want access, too, to the spying and censoring apparatus.
That's true, but in the bad-old-days of the antidiluvian WebPKI it was somewhat routine to sell big companies CA=YES certs simply to allow them to do this universally without pushing out updates to all their endpoints. It was a terrible, bad practice, and so far as I know it's completely dead now --- except for Microsoft, I guess.

I'm curious if you have a specific query I could type into Google that's instructive of your claim that information has been disappeared. (honest question).
That's neat. For small loop buffers, I quite like the GreenArrays forth core. It has 18 bit words that hold 4 instructions each, and one of the opcodes decrements a loop counter and goes back to the start of the word. And it can run appreciably faster while it's doing that.

Guarantee you that most of them would quickly drop that unwritten oath if it was their country getting invaded.

I've visited Ukraine a few times since the full scale invasion started. Pretty much event segment of society openly supports killing Russians to stop the invasion. In fact, buying drones for military units is the "default" charitable cause. For example, I was at a small music event full of hipsters where the proceeds of all the ticket sales and a charity auction were going to buy a military unit more offensive drones.

Anyone who did the bare minimum of due diligence found out from experts that blood from finger pricks is not usable for the kind of diagnostics they were proposing, which is why no qualified biotech VC invested in them. It was all dumb money like Ruper Murdoch and tech investors Tim Draper/DFJ who have no idea what they're doing in biotech.

Investors didn't even need to look in the books or research, it prima facie was not going to work.

Ask HN: What were your favourite podcast episodes of 2024?
Now that we're in the final month of 2024, what were your favourite podcast episodes (or just podcasts in general).

Huberman Lab had some really interesting episodes like "How to aimprove Memory & Focus Using Scientific Protocols".
I enjoyed the Acquired episode on Renaissance Technologies too.
I personally enjoyed listening to Trump and Vance on the Joe Rogan podcast because while I'm not their biggest supporters, it made me think of both of them differently.
Honestly not a bad delineation, considering what the original/actual "cargo cults" were.
Open question?

I kinda doubt it.

The CRA doesn't mention, afaik, any particular ethnic group.

E.g.,

Most solid firms, like my own, have strong financial controls, a CFO, and a board with strong oversight. Absolutely never had a problem.

Fraud will never be gone but you can ensure your firm will never be accused of it.

This article is better, but has very little to do with React. The major issues I see are 1) loading a 2.5 MB AWS library (not React), 2) not doing SSR (not React) and 3) not tree shaking (not React). I agree these are all problems. But shouting to the skies about React is not going to solve them.
This is how oppression starts

More often though it starts with wave after wave of logical fallacy.

As applies to your critique above, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope
If you use Home Assistant in an isolated local network with no Internet access, you will have good privacy. However, I needed to be able to use my camera remotely from my phone. That's when using strong end-to-end encryption becomes critical.

Home Assistant seems to provide two options for remote access: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/securing/

One option is to expose your instance to the Internet and using TLS/SSL to connect to it remotely. To me, that's risky since any machine exposed to the Internet is going to see more attack attempts and is harder to secure. The second option is to use their cloud. Here, they explain how remote access through their cloud works: https://www.nabucasa.com/config/remote/#security

They also mention its weaknesses:

"Before we talk about weaknesses, know that we will never abuse any weakness unless forced by a government entity. Our approach has one single weakness that is unavoidable: since we own the domain that hosts the remote connection, we are able to issue our own certificate and man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) remote connections. This would allow us to see all data passing through, including authentication tokens."

Privastead's use of MLS provides strong end-to-end encryption. And Privastead is not vulnerable to MITM attacks due to its secure pairing solution. I plan to write more about the security of Privastead including its pairing solution.
> As an aside: Why can't DSL modems be a single USB dongle?

They definitely existed in the UK for a time and were often supplied by ISPs. IIRC they were only supported in Windows XP, and drivers were never provided for Vista.
> Most solid firms, like my own, have strong financial controls, a CFO, and a board with strong oversight

One of my takeaways from the chaos surrounding SVB’s collapse is that Silicon Valley is starved of CFOs. Part of this is due to the anti-MBA high horse that was in vogue in tech post financial crisis. Part, frankly, is VCs wanting to be the only financial brains in the house. (Guess who loves promoting the MBA myths? Despite being staffed by MBAs?)
> I didn't see that so I can't really comment. It does not seem like it provides a counter example to what I wrote. I did not say Linus is never wrong. I have got into many flame wars with him so I would be the last to say he is always right. Domain experts are frequently wrong about their field of expertise too, especially in places where it interacts with things outside their field of expertise.

You came in with an argument to authority, and now you're saying you disagree with that authority yourself, but you trust that authority more than domain experts?

I don't think you've fully thought this through...

Everyone believes what they read in the news, until they see it reporting on something they know about - and then they forget about it a week later and go back to trusting the news.
Teruhisa Tajima, logo designer: story behind designing Ghost in the Shell's logo
Original title edited to add context, which is:

Teruhisa Tajima / Logo designer of GHOST IN THE SHELL / 攻殻機動隊

Funny pull quotes that jumped out at me:

> I have heard that you have basically been using Photoshop since it was first released. I imagine that using Photoshop back then was something that you needed to master in order to fully utilize the whole software.

> Teruhisa: Yeah, the serial number for the Photoshop I own is in the No.20 range which actually Adobe do esnt even own themselves. I guess you can say you needed to master your Photoshop skills back then to be able to utilize the whole software. Back then everything was analog so you first had to own a scanner or else you basically couldn't do anything with Photoshop. You needed to use a scanner to import pictures to your computer. But scanners were crazy expensive and you needed to at least RGB scan each color at least 3 times to get the full picture developed in your computer, which took over 50 minutes or so. Those were sure hard times. The scanners back then were really expensive but I would say had better quality than the one I own right now. Photoshop didn't have any layer features so I had to be extra careful of the pictures I imported into my computer even though everything was supposed to be digital and easy. You were not able to move or edit anything once you Photoshopped an image.

> What kind of software have you been using since you started using computer graphics?

> Teruhisa: I used STRATA 3D. I think it already is a free software right now though……

Spoiler alert: it's either a purchase + monthly subscription OR like $600, which I thought was sort of funny.

It's a small sum for a tool for a working professional, I suppose, but perhaps he's winking at the audience, perhaps implying alternative means of acquiring the software? I'm not sure how prevalent software piracy is in Japan, and certainly not casting aspersions, but perhaps someone who has lived/worked there could speak to that aspect?

For all I know, it was free when they got their license! They're certainly notable enough in their field to receive special dispensation as well. You can't really pay for that kind of advertising, after all.

I really hope nobody takes this "advice". What are you trying to save me from?
You're supposed to use a combination of your life experience and best judgment, which is as it always was. Extreme trust and extreme distrust are both irresponsible.

Your responsibility is to remember that institutions are made up of flawed people just like yourself, and work towards improving them. You don't let someone manipulate your emotions to turn them into abstract enemies, tear them down, and replace them with nothing.
The ford 10R80. 10 speed transmission is famous for being terrible dispute being in use since 2018.

As for toyota their new engines and transmissions arent really any better for fuel economy but seem to have reliability issues anyway. I think its more of a problem of too much power as the HP war rages on for more powerful engines.
If the rationale in the parent comment for this behavior is correct, it sounds like a lot of people making the decision to use Windows are doing it _because_ of behavior like this, not in spite of it.

This is technical risk, however. I remember experts telling me in 2009 that SpaceX was fundamentally fucked.

Not USB, but there exist SFP DSL modems, like the Proscend 180-T.

Yeah, poor performance is possible in any system using any tech. Being able to diagnose it and fix it is what matters.

I don’t think 8 hours is a myth, but more like that was what was observed in the 60s when the Stanford Sleep Research Centre by William Dement ran their first experiments on keeping people in white rooms without stimulation until their bodies found a natural rhythm.

It would be interesting to know if those experiments have been replicated and if there were any deviations!

We all make stupid mistakes. Some of these mistakes included being scammed. We all heard of people who got fooled by the classic Nigerian prince scam and think "it can't possibly be me". It may indeed not be you but you might be more vulnerable to a different kind of scam.

I am more interested in developing the mechanism and knowledge it would take to avoid making those kind of mistakes.

I hate to break it to you, but we continued that pattern of making up rules. The main difference is that we let lobbyists play a bigger role over time. The updated rules (life of the author plus 70 years) was passed in 1976, so I don't think they had global data networks in mind either. But perhaps you believe neither side has presented a persuasive argument.

I will however say that I think my comment was not just an appeal to authority. Again, I think the fact that using public domain works was critical to Disney's early success is a fairly important data point, especially considering some of those works would not have allowed to be used with the current lifespans (e.g. Pinocchio's copyright would have lasted until 1960, 20 years after the film premiered).

But again, the most important thing I want taken away from this is that we the "consumers" of the content should not consider ourselves bystanders, but understand that we do have an active stake here as well. You're first sentence is perhaps more important than you realize, making up the rules wasn't something one-off incidental property of being first to the table, we could choose to make up the rules too, so we should act like it, as opposed to trying to "deduce" the ownership of a sentence. This is unique, we don't have that ability with physical property. We can't simply declare that everyone gets Ferrari tomorrow and then have them magically appear in everyone's garage. But we could declare that everyone can have the rights to Superman tomorrow, and they would "magically just have them".

There's no real baseline here. We should just weigh the pros and cons. The fashion industry operates more or less copyright-free. The infrastructure to enforce copyright has real costs. Not to mention there is all the collateral damage from the abuse of copyright takedowns this system brings along with it. And any sort of appeal to authorship is also highly suspicious given that authors rarely end up owning these rights. Every time one of these Marvel movies comes out there's a mini outcry when people see the guy whose comic the movie is based on is just some dude who gets nothing from the making of the movie. On the flip side we take for granted that every public domain character was of course at one point created. Robin Hood, Zorro, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes. Are we unhappy with the diversity of adaptations we've gotten from these? Would it be that Earth shattering if Harry Potter joined that list? As things stand right now no one on this website will likely ever get to legally publish "their take Harry Potter". The clock doesn't start ticking until after JK Rowling dies. It would have entered the public domain 2011 under the original rules. In case you're curious, her net worth in 2011 was $500M, if you want to factor that into whether you think that would have been "fair" (and its not like she stops making money at that point, its just other people start to be able to do stuff with the first book). I think it is worthwhile to imagine a different approach to this.

Controlling [unjustified futurist hype's] Growing Energy Needs

Haven't seen a case study yet where a company outside of spammers and scammers increased their productivity using LLMs to do any kind of classification or unstructured-data-to-structured-data translation.

I've tried having it build up a table of contact information from email signatures, llama3 hallucinates phone numbers when the one I wanted was in the prompt, would have been better off with regex.

Looking up film developer recipes with Perplexity Pro/GPT4o, the answer comes back with a confident 1:119 ratio of HC110 for my P33 film, when I click through the source it pulled those numbers from a completely different film stock, since naturally the forum thread drifted from discussing one brand to another midway through conversation and doesn't matter how big your context window is, LLMs cant keep associations straight.

I'm going to keep trying to find uses for these garbage generators because the appearance of omniscience is so seductive, but I'm more cynical by the day, the investments and nuke fast tracking seems to be coming straight out of faith that AGI is just around the corner.

Show HN: Framonial – A Testimonial Platform Built with Framer
Hello, Hacker News.

My name is Kayode, and I’ve been working on Framonial, a platform built entirely with Framer to help users effortlessly collect, manage, and display testimonials.

The idea came from my own experience using Framer, where I found it difficult to integrate testimonial management directly into projects. Existing solutions often felt disconnected from the Framer workflow. Framonial is designed to bridge that gap and provide a solution tailored for the Framer community.

What Makes It Unique:

Built with Framer: The entire platform leverages Framer's capabilities, ensuring seamless user integration.
Tag-based Organization: Easily filter and manage testimonials with tags instead of relying on multiple projects.
Prebuilt Components: Collect and display testimonials directly in your Framer projects without additional tools.
Dashboard for Management: Track, filter, and export testimonials with a user-friendly interface.
Scalable Plans: A free tier for small-scale users and pro plans for unlimited scaling.
Who It’s For:
Framer designers, startups, and businesses looking for an easy way to manage and display social proof in their projects.

This is my first micro-SaaS built with Framer, and I’d love feedback from the Hacker News community. Whether you’re a maker or a Framer user, your insights on the features, design, or overall concept would be valuable.

Learn more here: https://framonial.com

Thank you for your time.
