I feel like most of the issues devs have with react are the community surrounding it. Lots of churn and burn libraries with breaking issues and changing APIs, NodeJS issues that effect the ecosystem (like node-sass vs dart-sass), and a snake oil aspect from charlatans that you see on social media (granted this is not limited to react, but it feels like react has the most of them).
This analogy is really good, now I totally see the benefit of this framework.
To clarify: this is how to use the phone, the Android OS. Not develop for Android.
Apple MLX was open sourced one year ago
Agreed on the strategy questions. It's interesting to tie back to IBM; my first reaction was that openai has more consumer connectivity than IBM did in the desktop era, but I'm not sure that's true. I guess what is true is that IBM passed over the "IBM Compatible" -> "MS DOS Compatible" business quite quickly in the mid 80s; seemingly overnight we had the death of all minicomputer companies and the rise of PC desktop companies.

I agree that if you're sure you have a commodity product, then you should make sure you're in the driver seat with those that will pay more, and also try and grind less effective players out. (As a strategy assessment, not a moral one).

You could think of Apple under JLG and then being handed back to Jobs as precisely being two perspectives on the answer to "does Apple have a commodity product?" Gassée thought it did, and we had the era of Apple OEMs, system integrators, other boxes running Apple software, and Jobs thought it did not; essentially his first act was to kill those deals.
You must have found a way to add more components, actions, properties, etc. automatically when your data models change. Otherwise, you are changing your UI every time those change. Except that now you have to maintain DTOs, models, actions, APIs, schemas, etc. in many places and across many teams.

Sorry, I have been around the block so many times, there’s now a moat around the block.

Ah. Well that tells me all I need to know about your intellectual honesty.
Tesla is very profitable but company's evaluation is not based on car sales and their current profits off car sales. If it was it be a bubble bigger that .com bubble. Robotaxi is going nowhere and their competitors are far ahead of them and Elon keeps moving the goalposts with it (it won't ever happen). the self-driving is great until it is not, we'll unfortunately get another story (probably out of Bay Area) about someone using 13.x that crashes into something. his perception I don't think changed much on the business side - he is a great salesman - much better salesman of shit he doesn't (and might not ever) have than of the shit he does though...
Can you please not post low-quality comments like this to HN? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Why not just let the market find its own equilibrium? If people need to live there to produce valuable resources, then the cost of those resources will naturally rise to cover the expenses of those employed in those industries.
A more convenient manual that frequently spouts falsehoods, sure.

My favorite part is when it includes parameters in its output that are not and have never been a part of the API I'm trying to get it to build against.
Oh I know this feeling all too well. Still got some projects in limbo after a decade or so that I feel I should finish soon, but which I never get around to.

And I get it. It's probably best to call it quits on many projects like this. To accept that you've had your fun with the concept, and that you shouldn't force yourself to finish something you've got no more passion for.

But it's easier said than done, and the sunk cost fallacy always lurks in the back of your mind regardless.
You theoretically can but Clojure is not OS-level so you'd be working something like JVM->CLJ->Go and that would remove a lot of performance. Or Go->Clj->Go which is redundant. So yeah, I stand by my statement. And I could be your dad, how do you know 100%?
I noticed a huge improvement just switching to stock BBR to my Starlink as well. During a particularly congested time I was bouncing between 5 to 12 Mbps via Starlink. With BBR enabled I got a steady 12. The main problem is that you need BBR on the server for this to work, as a client using Starlink I don't have any control over what all the servers I connect to are doing. (Other than my one server I was testing with).

I like Huston's idea of a Starlink-tuned BBR, I wonder if it's a traffic shaping that SpaceX could apply themselves in their ground station datacenters? That'd involve messing with the TCP stream though, maybe a bad idea.

The fact that Starlink has this 15 second switching built in is pretty weird, but you can definitely see it in every continuous latency measure. Even weirder it seems to be globally synchronized: all the hundreds of thousands of dishes are switching to new satellites the same millisecond, globally. Having a customized BBR aware of that 15 second cycle is an interesting idea.

Also, even if different characters were used, the 2D ascii art style representation of the directory tree in general strikes me as something that's not going to be easily interpreted by an LLM, which might not have a conception of how characters are laid out in 2D space
I really like the styling of this blog. It's nice on the eyes, gets out of the way, and the collapsed containers for extra info is a nice touch. There's a bit of layout shift though, but that's about it.

OpenAI O1 Capabilities Tested
I've seen this before and it's frustrating to deal with chasing phantom APIs it invents.

I wish it could just say "There is not a good approximation of this API existing - I would suggest reviewing the following docs/sources:....".
Yeah, at a place where I worked, we billed at around $150. Then there was an escalating commision based on amount billed.
I know a guy who owned a tropical resort on a island where competiton was sprouting up all around him. He was losing money trying to keep up with the quality offered by his neighbors. His solution was to charge a lot more for an experience that was really no better, and often worse, than the resorts next door. This didn't work.

Kudos on the idea, and for reaching out here! I build open source tools for hackathons, something I posted about here a few days ago. Your question is a great one, because small private events are not really addressed well by the typical guidance for large (100+) event organizers. Let me (with a little help from my fine-tuned assistant) give it a try:

Do: communicate the objectives and rules clearly (e.g. Gantt chart the timeline), encourage a diverse mix (friends and family, also to boost the audience), provide necessary resources for ideation (from high quality moderation kits to healthy snacks and water), allocate time for brainstorming, pitching, voting, and development stages, and ensure there are mentors available (at least people with some prior hackathon experience) to guide the teams. Think about some creative team-building activities.

Don't: overload participants with too many rules, micromanage the teams, celebrate individual achievements over ensuring all participants get something out of it, or make the hackathon too competitive.

In summary: focus on learning, collaboration, and having fun while documenting the process and outcomes for future reference. Especially for that last point, feel free to test Dribdat in our sandbox, or ping me if you want something more robust & private.

Good luck with your event!
Wow. I can honestly say I'm surprised it makes that suggestion. That's great!

I don't understand how it gets there though. How does it "know" that's the right thing to suggest when the majority of the online documentation all gets it wrong?

I know how I do it. I read the Docker docs, I see that I don't think publishing that port is needed, I spin up a test, and I verify my theory. AFAIK, ChatGPT isn't testing to verify assumptions like that, so I wonder how it determines correct from incorrect.
Made up? Hardly. I hear you, but reality isn’t as tidy as a research paper. Planning only gets you so far; timing and luck do the rest. IYKYK!

I was a huge Gitlab fan until their pricing change. I don't remember the pricing specifics, but the tier breakdown was such that you could introduce GitLab for free to a company that used Github, use it alongside Github, and slowly switch repo by repo, which was a very effective strategy (I used it in a few companies I joined).

After the pricing change, you had to start paying immediately (from the 6th user onwards or something), which made it a nonstarter because no company would start immediately paying for a Github replacement they didn't even know they wanted.

Together with Github being priced very cheaply, plus having free private repos, plus having the entire OSS world on it (for my OSS projects), I switched to it and never looked back.

Why Do Dowries Exist?
Linings are often a slippery fabric in order to make a jacket easier to put on. The lining also reduces wear on the main body of the fabric since you are rubbing against the lining instead. Linings are also a useful way to hide the seams and other construction details of the garment.

However, any of these could probably be worked around.
I just looked it up - that is a mistaken statistic. 50% of their CPUs are not Arm, but AWS has 50% of all server-side Arm CPUs.

"But that total is beaten by just one company – Amazon – which has slightly above 50 percent of all Arm server CPUs in the world deployed in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) datacenters, said the analyst."[0]

For people interested in this product but not sure buying a hardware synth: opsix native is the name for the software only version of it available at the Korg website…
First of all, that's moving the goalposts to next state over, relative to what I replied to.

Secondly, the "No improvement to PR throughput or merge time, 41% more bugs, worse work-life balance" result you quote came, per article, from a "study from Uplevel", which seems to[0] have been testing for change "among developers utilizing Copilot". That may or may not be surprising, but again it's hardly relevant to discussion about SOTA LLMs - it's like evaluating performance of an excavator by giving 1:10 toy excavators models to children and observing whether they dig holes in the sandbox faster than their shovel-equipped friends.

Best LLMs are too slow and/or expensive to use in Copilot fashion just yet. I'm not sure if it's even a good idea - Copilot-like use breaks flow. Instead, the biggest wins coming from LLMs are from discussing problems, generating blocks of code, refactoring, unstructured to structured data conversion, identifying issues from build or debugger output, etc. All of those uses require qualitatively more "intelligence" than Copilot-style, and LLMs like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet deliver (hell, anything past GPT 3.5 delivered).

Thirdly, I have some doubts about the very metrics used. I'll refrain from assuming the study is plain wrong here until I read it (see [0]), but anecdotally, I can tell you that at my last workplace, you likely wouldn't be able to tell whether or not using LLMs the right way (much less Copilot) helped by looking solely at those metrics - almost all PRs were approved by reviewers with minor or tangential commentary (thanks to culture of testing locally first, and not writing shit code in the first place), but then would spend days waiting to be merged due to shit CI system (overloaded to the point of breakage - apparently all the "developer time is more expensive than hardware" talk ends when it comes to adding compute to CI bots).

[0] - Per the article you linked; I'm yet to find and read the actual study itself.
My experience

1. Write some solution with out a UI

2. Decide you want a UI

3. Add React

4. Be forced to re-architect your solution because react wants control of all of your state.

React is supposed to be the V (View) in MVC but it requires full control of the M (model) in MVC and bleeds into the C (controller) as well.

Someone will likely chime in that you can just tell React to re-render the entire UI every frame or write lots of custom functions to monitor your model but that's not really the point. No other UI paradigm requires this.
> 1. Imprison executives who made the decisions that led to the result.

I'd go a step further. Follow the Truong My Lan case [1] - make these people actually fear getting executed.

I'm not a fan of the death penalty at all. It is disproportionately affecting the poor and otherwise disadvantaged. But for ultra rich people making money off of risking the death of others? Maybe that is what is needed to get rabid capitalism under control.

If the government keeps going on with not actually doing anything to the ultra rich until they steal from other ultra rich (SBF, Madoff), eventually people will take the law into their own hands otherwise. This United Health CEO will not have been the last, but "citizen justice" is not what anyone should want.

The real question then is why there are no paying jobs in Toledo, Ohio?

After all, it's really cheap estate and lots of reserve labor...

Ah right, and here we come to the critical issue which is horizontal integration. Even shipping to Toledo is going to be more expensive, not to mention availability of variety of things.

Then you get to deal with the interesting "small town culture" vibe, and lack of educational options.

Re: domains

You can run each project on its own subdomain on a shared domain. Example: app1.mysite.com app2.mysite.com. This can save you tens of dollars a year and save you some headaches. Probably not optimal for SEO, but for random projects it's pretty good.

Startup I'm at has generated a LOT of content using LLMs and once you've reviewed enough of the output, you can easily see specific patterns in the output.

Some words/phrases that, by default, it overuses: "dive into", "delve into", "the world of", and others.

You correct it with instructions, but it will then find synonyms so there is also a structural pattern to the output that it favors by default. For example, if we tell it "Don't start your writing with 'dive into'", it will just switch to "delve into" or another synonym.

Yes, all of this can be corrected if you put enough effort into the prompt and enough iterations to fix all of these tells.
I am not advocating for a zero tolerance approach. In the example I mentioned, the navy, there are plenty of times when the inquiry into a disaster absolved the captain of the blame. All I am saying is that CEOs should be held to the same standards we hold licensed professions such as lawyers, doctors, engineers or pilots. Aka if something goes wrong we will scrutinize their behavior in the lead up and then determine if they took reasonable steps to prevent the issue.

In that framework a CEO putting "safety first" will not have to worry in case a black swan events happen, it's the CEO who decided to do some "cost optimization" that will have to answer if the company routinely kills or injures people.
I didn't know about that. Sounds like a "please continue in this area" more than anything.
where did you get that information?
You're just playing word games. Fashion means what's popular/trending and `utility` means the exact opposite.

Other rich (and not-so-rich) countries have vastly better health outcomes than the US, and at much lower cost per capita.

If (as you point out) large US healthcare providers have low profit margins, it's because they are very inefficient, and they drastically overpay themselves. These are problems to identify and fix.

I agree that "the system" is broken, but all the evidence is that these bad corporate actors try to keep the system going to enrich themselves, in every industry. Prisons, schools, pharma, food, you name it ...

So as I understand it:

- Panzi is an isolated, hard-to-access area where malnutrition, prior epidemics, and seasonal flu have already weakened the population.

- Poor healthcare infrastructure and delayed medical intervention have amplified deaths.

- There is no evidence of rapid or widespread transmission. (see first point).

- Samples have been retrieved for testing. At this point, there is no information on transmission vector (assuming it’s even a disease)
Yeah, but at one time it made me dismissing of real deals that could be found at that target price you saw at first, and I was missing out. At one point I thought the website was excluding me from some prices (and there might be some truth to that, as I could test when sharing item links with friends, now I usually have the lowest price, they open the same link and another price is displayed for them)

Some sellers highlight the cheapest accessory to entice you to click, but to see if the ballpark price for it actually goes around that amount, scroll down to the recommendations and go see the same product from different sellers. If so, you can still score a lower price by adding it to your cart and letting it sit there for a while. Go back to the homepage, refresh, see the same product at a different price (sometimes from the same seller, further price drops won't update YOUR cart, you will have to add it again, but same goes for a price raise; at one time I had in my cart a lower price locked, saw the same item at a slightly higher price from the same listing, added it and my item got the updated price)

Also, some big sized items for my country (I was shopping for replacement taillight housing for my car), may have a high shipping fee for the whole month except Choice days, where they also get a discount.

Use the visual search or use "find similars" by tap-holding a listing.

These guys are masters at algorithmic pricing, and they make it addictive. I'm hooked. I love that site, the games, the juicy coupons, everything. I will keep giving them my money.
At first I saw "to focus on his health" and assumed it was typical PR speak to cover someone asked to leave, but the amount of detail on sytse's cancer makes it seem otherwise. I'd noticed he wasn't as often active in Gitlab related threads, and I guess that explains that too. Hope the recovery continues to go well.

---

I do think the change in leadership is probably more a continuation of Gitlab moving from a developer focused company to one focused on enterprise sales, so the product is probably going to continue to feel less interesting for me. They were pretty innovative in how open they were, so I hope at least some of that survives.

Ok.

Let's say I run a company call AndSoft.

AndSoft has about 2000 people on staff, maybe 1000 programers.

This solution will cost 200k per year. Or 2.4 million per year.

I imagine if I was making north of 500k a year I'd subscribe as a curiosity... At least for a few months.

If your time is worth 250$ a hour, and this saves you an hour per month it's well worth it.
