I (a novice) have been toying with web apps for a little bit now with Axum, Tera/Askama, and HTMX. I'm doing something very similar. I find that it works well for my simple apps but then complexity gets tough when I start to have a lot of template logic. This is when I realize that frontend web dev is actually full of interesting complexity...

Obviously managing complexity in templates is something I'm sure people solved years and years ago, but of course now with 99% of frontend resources (blog posting, video content, courses, etc) being SPA focused, resources on doing it "the old school way" are scant.

Do you know of any resources for designing web-apps of intermediate complexity with SSR templates? Or even just good resources from the HTMX + SSR camp, aside from the HTMX fellas?

No but you would not wake up, a clone who has your memories would wake up but the you that went to sleep will never wake up. That effectively doesnt make a difference but I find it pretty odd to think about. We as humans kinda miss a way verify its really „us“ and not a clone.

yeah, we switched to WordPress. I am glad we didn't follow up on our web agency 5 years ago to switch to gasby. Our wordpress is still running fine. I am glad we are not considering switching to Astro, since wordpress will still be there in 5 years.
Not even close. Llama.cpp isn't even close to a production ready LLM inference engine, and it runs overwhelmingly faster when using CUDA
Hi, author here.
At least from my personal experience, there are still many jobs in which the main focus isn't frontend development, and per se React.

I do have to work with React from time to time. But it isn't my main focus. I usually work implementing backend systems (with Go, SQL [Postgres], Redis, etc.) and infrastructure as code with Terraform.
My first question when I saw the page.
It is. And it strikes me as evidence we've lost the plot and a measure has ceased to be a good measure upon being a target.

It used to be that more computational power was desirable because it would allow for developers to more fully realize creative visions that weren't previously possible.

Now, it seems that the goal is simply visual fidelity and asset complexity... and the rest of the experience is not only secondary, but compromised in pursuit of the former.

Thinking back on recent games that felt like something new and painstakingly crafted... they're almost all 2D (or look like it), lean on excellent art/music (and even haptics!) direction, have a well-crafted core gameplay loop or set of systems, and have relatively low actual system requirements (which in turn means they are exceptionally smooth without any AI tricks).

Off the top of my head few years: Hades, Balatro, Animal Well, Cruelty Squad[0], Spelunky, Pizza Tower, Papers Please, etc. Most of these could just as easily have been made a decade ago.

That's not to say we haven't had many games that are gorgeous and fun. But while the latter is necessary and sufficient, the former is neither.

It's just icing: it doesn't matter if the cake tastes like crap.

[0] a mission statement if there ever was one for how much fun something can be while not just being ugly but being actively antagonistic to the senses and any notion of good taste.

Agree that discomfort can cause temporary problems, and sometimes chronic problems in parts of the body can cause life long cognitive impairment. But that is not to say that these represent "you" or your personality. You brain could still function perfectly without those body conditions.

And for the gut example the brain actually does work normally, stomach and instetines removal (and other related surgeries) are fairly common procedures and I don't hear of people complaining about personality changes. Of course, those types of procedures are extremely invasive in a sistemic way, and not only your mental state, but multiple other parts of the body need to re-adapt. But I truly believe "you" will be still be "you" inside your brain

PS.: I quoted "you" because discussions about the identity of one-self are much more complex, just regard it as the most high level definition of the concept

>Our nervous system extends into our bodies. We feel emotions in our bodies. People with certain kinds of brain damage that prevents them from feeling emotions normally also experience trouble making rational decisions.

I think that may be true enough, but it doesn't have the upshot you seem to think it does.

It just means that what we need to sustain not just a brain itself but the totality of the environmental conditions on which it depends. No easy task for sure, but not something that presents an in-principle impossibility of preserving brains.

I think there's a major philosophical error here in thinking that the added logistics present this kind of in-principle impossibility.

Also, talking like this starts to play with anti-science speculation a bit. Octopi actually have neurons extending through their limbs. We don't. So when we talk about consciousness being "embodied", I'm sorry, it's an attempt to romanticize the question in a way that loses sight of our scientific understanding. Consciousness happens in the brain.

Sure, the brain needs stimulus from its embodied nervous system, and may even depend on those data and interactions in significant ways, but everything we know about consciousness suggests its in the brain. And so the data from "embodied" nervous systems may be important but there's no in-principle reason why it can't be accounted for in the context of preservation.
I think the biggest change would be that if characters and stories lose their copyright after 10 years then you would see even more sequels and remakes because anyone could make their own Star Wars sequel series for example.
I enjoyed this. The part explaining the need to store a line affinity bit for carets was not something I’ve ever considered before.

I feel like basically all I listen to is human-made playlists and recommendations from humans? RYM might be a good place for you to start, but you can also just do the obvious thing of starting from a couple playlists you like and finding other playlists by the same people. Eventually you'll find people who seemingly do this full-time.

Really weird for me to see people talking about how bad "the algo" is. Do people just open up Apple Music or Spotify and tell it "find stuff for me to play"? I know that's a thing it will do, but it never occurred to me that I'd actually want it to do that.

why take averages?
Domains are the ultimate identity system for building a more trustworthy internet without handing over control to some kind of verified ID scheme or being forced into publishing your personal details to gain credibility.

You can build reputation and trust using a handle, even if it's not associated with your real world identity. For example, I know that if 'ryao' replies to a question about ZFS, the response can be considered trustworthy. I don't know who that is or even what country they live in, but I know they're a contributor that isn't speculating or guessing when they reply and that's all that matters to me.

Domains can be used as verifiable, globally unique handles which simplifies things for the average user because it makes it easier to help users avoid impersonation and confusion if you can point them to something simple and verifiable. For example, look at Bluesky [1].

I've been wanting domain based namespaces and handles for a solid 5 years because it just makes sense. Here's my oldest mention of it (asking why package managers don't use domain verified namespacing) I have on HN [2]:

> It seems like a waste to me when I'm required to register a new identity for every package manager when I already have a globally unique, extremely valuable (to me), highly brandable identity that costs $8 / year to maintain.

You can tell it's old because .com domains only costed $8 back then. IMHO, domain based handles are the #1 reason to use Bluesky over X/Twitter. People used to spend $10-15k buying "noteworthiness" via fake articles, etc. to get verified on Twitter. I can't find any links because search results are saturated with talk of X wanting $1000 per month for organization validation (aka a gold check mark). Domain validation is just as good as that kind of organization validation, at least for well known individuals and organizations.

Given that, I think there would be a bigger market for domains if domain validated identities catch on. It could even spawn specialty gTLDs that do extra identity or notoriety checks (if that's allowed) or maybe attestations would become a big thing if there were an easy way to do them against a domain verified handle.

do you have a reference for power rebar support? just curious, I couldn't find anything with a quick look
i also learned LPC in an LPmud.

unlike other MUDs it had a built-in ftp server, and ed.
i learned concepts like trampolines and blueprints, which i later learned were closures and classes. and i learned about inheritance and objects. conveniently, objects in an LPmud are real tangible objects like a dragon or a sword.

remember those dumb sounding introductions to OO programming, like class dog, inherits animal? in LPmuds you really have examples like that: class dwarf, inherits NPC, or class sword, inherits weapon.

one of the features that LPmuds needed was the ability to update objects from changed classes/blueprints at runtime without restarting the server so that the wizards could work on the game while others were playing it. it was coding in production, but usually the areas in development were closed of to regular players. but you can imagine how robust LPmuds and LPC had to be to enable that.

then the web came up and i was looking for a better webserver than the ones from NCSA and cern. i discovered spinner. and to my surprise i found that it was written in uLPC, a rewrite of LPC. spinner was renamed to roxen, and uLPC was renamed to pike.

spinner/roxen had modules that were easy to write: class mymod, inherit SomeModuleType, do stuff.

roxen modules were objects that got instantiated each time a http request was made. the http request object would call them in some order and let them do their thing and add data to the response object. i wrote many such modules to customize the behavior of my websites. one morning i woke up and realized what OO programming really meant because i understood how the different objects interacted with each other and encapsulated things. until then i had only been going through the motions because that's how i learned to do things, but i didn't know why.

roxen also was able to reload modules from changed code at runtime. (remember the LPmud ability to reload objects? it's the same feature. in roxen it was a bit weaker because it only applied to new instances, but that was intentional, because unlike LPmuds, in roxen objects were short lived anyways)

fast forward almost a decade and i discover open-sTeam, an object storage server written in pike, using MUD concepts internally. it had rooms and doors/gates to connect them. users logging in had an inventory and could pick up and drop documents like objects in a MUD. it also had object level access control. the developers said they chose pike because it was the only language that allowed them to implement this kind of access control. and here too, like an LPmud open-sTeam has the ability to reload objects with new class code. and unlike roxen it does so for existing objects too.

i am still using open-sTeam to build my websites today, after modernizing it by adding a REST API combined with a modern frontend framework. and i can do live coding while the server is running. for my own websites i do that in production. for client websites i keep a separate dev server. although, since the server is so rich in features i rarely have to do any custom backend coding. most of the work in in the frontends now.
That's still a copy, just one where both copies remember their life before being copied and equally think they are the original. The original will still experience aging and death.

Critique of the Rationalist Blogosphere in 2024
Sure, but the terrain wasn't truly 3D. I'm pretty sure there isn't any ballistics calculations for the attacks in Starcraft. It could have easily been a Starcraft remaster. It didn't really take the RTS genre to the next level. Doom does a lot more innovation between iterations.

Have you played Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander? Those increased the scale, the tactics, the map size. The weapons felt more varied. Really, made SC 1 & 2 feel rather Mickey Mouse.
AI/ML potentially implicated in 25.2% of FDA MAUDE patient safety reports
This observation is spot on and 100% of the reason why dealing with other people's code is insufferable. After 20 years of coding I can confidently say I'd rather clean out crawlspaces for a living than deal with another "clever" codebase.
A museum does not need a business model, per-se. If it goes in the national interest it should be preserved by the country.
Yup, having an emulator for another, more complex architecture running on the very simple architecture is common amongst projects like this. Linux on Intel 4004 does exactly this: https://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=35.+Linux4004

And its predecessor project(s) do as well.

Usagi's UE-1 was already mentioned as another vacuum tube computer. It indeed just runs instructions in a loop, and runs every instruction in each loop (but not every instruction is always effective).

I once worked for a big Hollywood studio and they finally stopped registering their name in every new .tld. They reasoned that if anyone used the domain in a way that is a trademark violation, then they could shut them down in court. Otherwise, they'd be chasing ever-increasing (extortion) rates for each new .tld.
I use an A770 LE for PC gaming. Windows drivers have improved substantially in the last two years. There's a driver update every month or so, although the Intel Arc control GUI hasn't improved in a while. Popular newer titles have generally run well; I've played some Metaphor, Final Fantasy 16, Elden Ring, Spider-Man Remastered, Horizon Zero Dawn, Overwatch, Jedi Survivor, Forza Horizon 4, Monster Hunter Sunbreak, etc. without major issues. Older games sometimes struggle; a 6 year old Need for Speed doesn't display terrain, some 10+ year old indie games crash. Usually fixed by dropping dxvk.dll in the game directory. This fix cannot be used with older Windows Store games. One problematic newer title was Starfield, which at launch had massive frame pacing and hard crashing issues exclusive to Intel Arc.

I've had a small sound latency issue forever; most visible with YouTube videos, the first half-second of every video is silent.

You're asking a question that we've asked ourselves for a millennia

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

Technically, we are not the same people that we were when we were born. The cells in our body have one by one been replaced with new ones and the old ones have died off. The things that make up my body are 100% different than when I was born, so I literally am not the same person, physically.

Maybe this is an indicator that there is more to what makes us, us, than just the physical assembly of atoms in our bodies. There are things I don't know that we'll ever get a full understanding of.
Unless some quantum effect doesn't actually allow that to be true, a "great filter" of sorts. Could make a copy and it just doesn't turn on, due to unknown unknowns, can't know why.

There was no announcement regarding the opportunity to transfer the collection to new owners. If such an announcement was made, it was done without any public disclosure.

I find the claims throughout the HN comments that the LCM board was openly taking offers disingenuous at best. My personal attempts to contact the museum in 2021 about this were met with no reply. I even reached out to former staff members and a Seattle Times reporter who covered the LCM via their social media accounts, and they were equally in the dark about what was happening internally. It was only at the Christie's auction in 2024 that the true intentions of the board became clear.

If you look at the 2023 IRS filings from the LCM, they donated $1.1 million to the "Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum" [1], another one of Paul's collections/museums. This museum was also closed under the same COVID circumstances and only reopened after Steuart Walton purchased the collection [2]. It is mind-boggling that the same thing did not occur for the LCM, considering the number of multi-millionaires and billionaires in the Seattle area whose fortunes were built on the backs of the computers the LCM aimed to preserve and share with the world.

We will look back at this decision to abandon and sell off the LCM as a shameful disruption of Seattle's own computing culture and industry, which transformed our world. For now, the small museum at RePC (non-living, unfortunately) or the homes of personal computer collectors are all that remain in our city.

Every time you go to sleep your consciousness shuts down. What wakes up is something slightly different due to biological processes. You are not tired, your mood is different, part of cells in your brain got replaced, memories become more stable and maybe linked to other similar memories, etc... This is way more pronounced for people waking up from a coma. Philosophers thought of this for a while, see https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/66018/the-bra...

So, each morning is a copy of you wakes up? Or do you draw a line in the sand and say that is different.
