Human perceptibility is only relevant in certain contexts. Are you in one? Ok, maybe you need client side interactivity. This is what I mean by "highly interactive" applications like Linear, Miro, Superhuman, etc. Having to wait for a server round trip in those wouldn't be good and I would build one of those using an SPA framework/library. This isn't in question.

A forms over data application can be built with React. That's "valid", but what is the cost? The latency in showing/hiding things can be seen with slower internet connections, but so what. What is the cost of that? Have you ever used an air travel booking site? Many of those interactions are painfully slow but you still booked your travel, right? Now take those slow interactions and make them so they are actually just on the edge of human perceptibility (which is easy with server rendering) and you've got a perfectly great experience for your users. If your users are captive (it's their work application, or they need to book travel, etc) then you have even more (but we wouldn't need it) leeway.

If you're a shopping site where revenue is tied latency, maybe it's necessary? But have you used Amazon? There's all sorts of server loading there and they do pretty well.

I'm not claiming that React is "slow". It's slowER on time-to-interactive on average. It can be slower to develop applications. It is certainly more costly from a maintenance perspective due to the unstable nature of JavaScript dependencies.

I'm not going to be able to convince you of any of this. I'm only here holding a sign saying that things aren't as straightforward as they seem. There are costs and costs and costs to this stuff that many see as a normal day in the office.

I'm just saying there's more productivity beyond the horizon, and you're not going to find it by embracing and extending complexity. React is complexity. All the things that come with it to compensate for its complexity are more complexity.

Teams go faster permanently by embracing simplicity. Using React for a forms over data application is the opposite of that. You can do it. You can get your first version out "quick" but over time, that complexity will rear its head and you will slow down.

Have you ever been on a team that wasn't as fast as it was on the first day of a project?

Tried-and-True Networking Tips from Decades of Experience [audio]
Ask HN: How do you deal with feature flag cleanup?
I work for a startup and as we grow we are increasingly depending on feature flags for releases.

One of the side-effects that come with more feature flag(FF) use is the FF cleanup burden. I was curious if anyone has developed any tooling that makes this cleanup easier and automated?

I know there's the obvious candidate of creating a clean up ticket as part story(or whatever equivalent) conclusion, but i'd like to see if cleanup is solvable via automation as opposed to process.

An idea I have is for every merge to main, check to see if any feature flags have been added. For every feature flag added, create a "cleanup PR" per added flag that removes the feature flag and check, removes the old functionality, and persists the new functionality.

I recognize that this solution design could be pretty specific to how my team uses feature-flags.

Any feedback on a tool that works like I described or are do you think there's an alternative approach I should consider?
They're a pain in the ass all around. Spectre allowed you to read everything paged in (including kernel memory) from JS in the browser.

To mitigate it browsers did a bunch of hacks, including nerfing precision on all timer APIs and disabling shared memory, because you need an accurate timer for the exploit - to this day performance.now() rounds to 1MS on firefox and 0.1MS on Chrome.

This 1MS rounding funnily is a headache for me right as we speak. On a say 240Hz monitor, for video games you need to render a frame every ~4.16ms -- 1ms precision is not enough for accurate ticker -- even if you render your frames on time, the result can't be perfectly smooth as the browser doesn't give an accurate enough timer by which to advance your physics every frame.

Of course, at a deep philosophical level, you are right! I often like to compare LLMs to typewriters. If we think the typewriter is responsible for the output, we're going down the wrong route.

That said, I am interested in wrapper applications because, as you know, many consumer-facing products are used by folks who don't need or want an education in the subject domain. GPT and RAG integrations could be helpful in generating the UI they need, but untempered access to an LLM would not be great in many software products, methinks.

One can do sequential writes by simply writing to a chunk objects at a key with the offset in the name. For example, sizes in MBs:

would be a rolled up object of size 2048MB + whatever is in the object-2048 file.

Your answer somehow suggests that solving such problems is merely "recognizing which algorithms to apply".. which is another way of saying that they are more "pattern matchers" than "true reasoners". I would think, on the contrary, that these problems (at least the tougher ones that are coming in about two weeks) require more than pattern matching, but I'm not sure exactly what are my thoughts on that.

All statements from Tesla engineers on Twitter is that they continue to work on both HW3 and HW4 for v13. Just because HW3 has smaller power it doesn’t mean that there is no future for it.

My wording was ambiguous. They didn’t lie about storing your funds in real banks. That part was true. The lie was the implication that this made your funds safe.

It’s a subtle thing. It sounds like the money is safe. And it really is safe in the way that the FDIC handles: the depositor is protected in the event of a bank failure. It’s just that the depositor in this case is Yotta, not their customers, and there are potential problems beyond failures of the banks holding the money.

Note that this general scheme of “we’re not a bank but we’re as safe as a bank because we put your money in real banks” is not completely crazy and is sometimes used by serious financial institutions. For example, Fidelity offers a cash management account that works this way. So it’s not an immediate red flag on its own.

Having a consistent log is sufficient with an atomic compare operation is sufficient for a distributed database but its performance will be extremely questionable. CAS is always the slow step, in this case, pathologically slow. The magic is to do whatever you can to avoid it until absolutely necessary. The availability of consistent, ordered, synchronized timestamps across all nodes is something most distributed databases require as a prerequisite. How you handle violations of that (and to what degree of accuracy you can rely on it) make a considerable difference.

Depending on how you structure the underlying pages, you’ll get to decide how availability at the log level translates to availability in your user/app-facing interface and whether you will end up sacrificing consistency, availability, or partition tolerance.

Basically, S3 with its recent consistency guarantees and all-new CAS support is sufffiicent in-and-of itself. But for anything other than the most basic (least amount of data, lowest frequency writes, etc) you’ll need a considerable amount of magic to make it useable.

The most straightforward approach would be to use the existing whole of another database but swap out the backend and then tweak the frontend accordingly. SQLite lets you use custom vfs providers (already used to provide fairly efficient SQLite over http without serving the entirety of the database, but previously not for writes) and with Postgres you can use foreign data wrappers. But in both cases you’ll basically have to take out a lock to support writes, either on a page or a row (either risk lots of contention or introduce a ton of locking and network latency overhead).

It is an immune system overreaction causing inflammation causing then bronchial constriction and of more ramified aereal ducts reducing total air vol per breath. Inmune causes are routinely tested to be of allergic origin for external allergens and a test panel is common to be done measuring reaction to agents such as dust mitels, pollen, animal fur. Often one cannot pin a single cause. Bad air quality (smog) or cold can be triggrers, and contradictorially unusual physical effort demands can trigger it reducing O2 availability just when more is what the situation demands. It's a self-immune problem in the end, not that well understood.

> Because filesystems don't guarantee they will overwrite or wipe any particular disk blocks.

Some filesystems have a richer interface to the underlying storage device, allowing them to invoke commands such as ATA TRIM or SCSI UNMAP - either incrementally as blocks are freed, or on demand - which request that the underlying storage device forget the block contents.

So the necessary interfaces exist and are widely available, and even if imperfect they improve the situation.

I really appreciate this comment. You've very eloquently put into words how I feel about React and the ecosystem, and also my exhaustion towards these "anti-React" posts, which stoke an angry mob without offering obvious alternatives.

And I think the crux of the problem is that there is no obvious alternative. That isn't to say it can't, or shouldn't exist. I'm not a React loyalist. I was a working frontend developer when React came out and I remember how it took the web community by storm, because it was an obvious step forward.

When the alternative exists, it will be as purely obvious.
> So you're saying Head of AI of Google of Jeff can't choose a better venue?

Phrasing it this way isn't useful. Talking about choice in the abstract doesn't help with a game-theoretic analysis. You need costs and benefits too.

There are many people who face something like a prisoner's dilemma (on Twitter, for example). We could assess the cost-benefit of a particular person leaving Twitter. We could even judge them according to some standards (ethical, rational, and so on). But why bother?...

...Think about major collective action failures. How often are they the result of just one person's decisions? How does "blaming" or "judging" an individual help make a situation better? This effort on blaming could be better spent elsewhere; such as understanding the system and finding leverage points.

There are cases where blaming/guilt can help, but only in the prospective sense: if a person knows they will be blamed and face consequences for an action, it will make that action more costly. This might be enough to deter than decision. But do you think this applies in the context of the "do I leave Twitter?" decision? I'd say very little, if at all.
And the function has to do pattern matching and handle both cases. What for?
The loop buffer on the 68010 was almost useless, because not only was it only 6 bytes, it only held two instructions. One had to be the loop instruction (DBcc), so the loop body had to be a single instruction. Pretty much the only thing it could speed up in practice was an unoptimized memcpy.

Patrick Boyle has a running joke about how his goal is for his channel to be the number one channel on you tube covering rap and related topics but he sometimes gets distracted by other things. I think it started because of him making fun of people like influencers and their attempts to do things like rap, and rappers who shill crypto schemes.

He basically covers what you might call popular finance topics but with an extremely dry sense of humour. You might say he’s a bit like a youtube version of Matt Levine but his jokes are perhaps more deadpan.

All my kudos for the OrioleDB team, they have been working for years with the Postgres core devs to get the extensibility patches they need for their storage extensions merged back.

It’s not just about building their extension but actually making Postgres better for everyone. I would have loved that big corps would have taken this approach, as it opens the doors to others to add features for different use cases and making postgres more of a DBMS framework

Lovely. This is what the Internet was made for.
Yeah, that's why I added the caveat, after giving you an up. I was speaking to the wider audience that frequents these parts.
This is a philosophical question more than a technical one. We already have LLMs that can produce output that appears to be intelligent and is close enough to be used in many contexts where "intelligent" output would be helpful. So the technical question is solved. An essay called The Bitter Lesson[0] suggests that with enough nodes we can capture every kind of context.

The philosophical question hinges on whether or not transformer-type behavior actually is intelligence. Some suggest that the human brain actually operates this way, and that belief is the basis for all the vocabulary and context in machine learning. Others believe (philosophically) that intelligence is more than the sum of these node parts and signals.

Will medical science be able to answer the question? Are humans able to escape the observation paradox enough to find out how their own intelligence operates, when such information could only be produced through intelligence itself?

Personally, I think intelligence is more than node firings but less than mystical, spiritual soup. While we don't know how it really works, we can push LLMs to be close enough to "intelligence" to serve many useful purposes.
