HTMX abstracts functionality into pseudo-HTML attributes, allowing you to handle tasks like event binding and DOM/content manipulation that would typically require JavaScript. By using HTMX, you primarily focus on learning HTML and its attributes, with minimal need to learn JavaScript.
I think having those four approaches is the key thing and you’re addressing it well. The flow is really the readers choice. My brain works in the way of wanting the overall explanation first. Then I seek the how-tos and tutorials.
what good is it if you have a ton of gadgets and iphones all over the place but no place to live? I'd take a home with a bed over all the gadgets in the world, if i could only choose 1.

it's a fact that the housing standard of living has gone down for the last 26 years. See this graph: Nominal gpd per capita / case shiller housing index. and you'll see it's down 34% over the last 26 years!
If the cure for cancer arrived to us in the form of the most probable token being predicted one at a time, would your view on the matter change in any way?

In other words, do you have proof that this medium of information output is doomed to forever be useless in producing information that adds value to the world?

These are of course rhetorical questions that you nor anyone else can answer today, but you seem to have a weird sort of absolute position on this matter, as if a lot depended on your sentiment being correct.
AI may be over hyped and it may have flaws (I think it is both)... but it may also be totally worth $200 / month to many people. My brother is getting way more value than that out of it for instance.

So the question is it worth $200/month and to how many people, not is it over hyped, or if it has flaws. And does that support the level of investment being placed into these tools.

$15,000 CPU is better than a $5000 CPU?

You can do all the benchmarks you want, but if you don't factor in price, then of course the more expensive product (in general) is going to be better.

It is the same thing with the Snapdragon Elite and Mediatek Dimensity 9400. The SDE is the faster processor and more expensive.
Here's an example case: getting all municipalities in Canada with more than 1500 native speakers of Inuktitut (the language of the Inuit):

First, I have to find the characteristic I'm looking for:

SELECT id, description FROM characteristic WHERE description LIKE "%Inuktitut%";

I can see what I'm looking for, id 455, which is "Total - Mother tongue for the total population excluding institutional residents - 100% data; Single responses; Non-official languages; Indigenous languages; Inuktut (Inuit) languages; Inuktitut" (since these characteristics have parents and children, I can build up a graph with a CTE, which could be useful).

To use it, I query the view with:

SELECT geo_name, c1_count_total, c2_count_men, c3_count_women FROM cview
WHERE geo_level_name = 'Census subdivision' -- Roughly a municipality
AND characteristic_id = 455
AND c1_count_total > 1500 -- Total count (speakers, in this case)
ORDER BY c1_count_total DESC;

Which gives:

┌─────────────────────────────────────┬────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────────┐
│ geo_name │ c1_count_total │ c2_count_men │ c3_count_women │
├─────────────────────────────────────┼────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────────┤
│ 'Arviat, Hamlet (HAM)' │ 2465.0 │ 1235.0 │ 1235.0 │
│ 'Iqaluit, City (CY)' │ 2195.0 │ 985.0 │ 1215.0 │
│ 'Puvirnituq, Village nordique (VN)' │ 1965.0 │ 940.0 │ 1030.0 │
│ 'Igloolik, Hamlet (HAM)' │ 1820.0 │ 975.0 │ 845.0 │

└─────────────────────────────────────┴────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────────┘

So it appears to work as intended (although the men+women count isn't exactly the same as the total count, I suspect that's some StatCan wierdness that I'll have to look at). It's slow, but I'm not too worried about that, it's not meant for fast real time queries, and I can always add indexes later especially since it's now a read-only database in practice.

My main concerns are regarding the schema and use of REALs and NULLs. Where there are empty strings in the CSV, I have NULLs in the database. I suspect that's the best move, but I suspect having REALs instead of DECIMALs (ie. TEXT processed with the SQLite extension) may be the wrong abstraction. For my usecase, I think the database covers all of my needs except having the areas associated with a province/territory, although I know which dataset I would need for that information and that will likely be in a future iteration of the database.

I say "it appears to work" because I'm not sure the best way to test the data in the database without reimplementing the parsing and rechecking every row in each CSV against the database. I'm wary of blindly trusting the data is correct and all there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been noticing this. The piercing white of high mounted LEDs lately makes driving at night very difficult, and there have been times when I literally cannot see the side of the road next to me from the oncoming vehicles.

My compromise has been to up the lighting on my motorcycle so I stand a chance of seeing the road edge and what's beyond it, but I really don't like having to do so.
Young people today have as many self imposed rules as my grandmother used to have. Rules about being cool. Rules about gatekeeping. They would 100% be calling people out for wearing white during the wrong season back in the day, only they'd call it clowning on them as if it's any different.
Yes, that is the point. The customer service person would be most able to determine if what the LLM said makes sense or not. My point is, we are sold automation instead of a power tool.

> Activist investors and private equity are a counter to this. If it's really true that companies are ineptly run that all it takes is for someone who cares to turn it around, it should be easy to make a bunch of money by buying a company, exercising the tiniest of shareholder pressure over management, and then selling it after the company's turned around.

That's literally what happened at my last company. Actually they didn't even have to turn it around. They just destroyed employee morale with layoffs and got Oracle to buy the place, and they've gutted the company further.

Which isn't good when you consider that it's EMR software, but, hey. It's been a profitable gutting, meaning that it's good for everyone from shareholders to doctors to patients.

The dietician at the UCLA Cardio Rehab Center recommended trying 95% Cocoa chocolate if you have chocolate cravings because it has much less sugar than regular chocolate. My experience (sample size N=1) is that if I get a craving for chocolate I can eat a single square of the stuff and, because of the high cocoa content, it feels like I just ate a whole box of regular chocolates.
There is not much money in it for Intel.

Intel tried to get into GPU-like products 14 years ago. They promote their consumer Arc GPUs since 2022, and still almost nobody wants them. Is there a datacenter Intel GPU that some business wants?

The big money is flowing NVIDIA's way, and even if Intel can make a GPU, it won't be able to divert a big part of the flow, similarly to AMD.

Interestingly is there a potential moral issue in the making here? What happens if/when self driving dependency is so prevalent that the majority of inhabitants in a city don't know how to drive. In addition add the fact that self driving cars don't have a steering wheel so even people who know how to take over driving can't actually take over.

What happens if there's an event that requires a mass evacuation such as a Category 5 hurricane and the major self driving car companies deem it too risky to drive in the conditions that precede the storm?

A 7.0 earthquake nearby is a pretty good reason to slow down trains, regardless of propulsion.

The easily found page about Caltrain's response to earthquakes [1] doesn't include magnitude 7, but also doesn't include earthquakes more than 100 miles from the tracks either. So I think a brief reduction in speed is reasonable for a large quake within the larger area and quickly ending the restriction as its confirmed the quake was outside the policy scope.

Dreamweaver existed even earlier. I hope something like what you mention (flutter) does not become popular because of accessibility.
>> because surely you're not disputing the oscilloscope part of it

Yes, I'm disputing the oscilloscope part of it. An oscilloscope does not plot pitch vs time. You could devise circuitry to do something like that.

Having plugged audio directly into an oscilloscope, I can say that's not how it works. Well, not all of it. The into seemed more like it might actually be left/right audio into a scope, but the other parts did not.
I was gifted the entire collection a couple of years ago by my father, having grown up adoring Calvin and Hobbes, mostly thanks to him. I used to re-read the few books at the local library over and over again. The Christmas strips were my favourite, because I hadn't experienced snow at the time.

The entire collection opened a window into Watterson's evolution. He became a bit more cynical as time passed. I loved it.

Reading about his respect for his work, his refusal to sell out and his restraint made so much sense. You could feel it, the way these characters came to life. The essence ever intact.

Forever changed, forever grateful
When I go to Jotai npm docs page (https://www.npmjs.com/package/jotai) I don't really get the impression of how this helps get away from using a lot of different context providers or Redux. The nice thing about context hooks is they are composable, combined with cached queries you can have a decently maintainable pattern. How does Jotai provide a tangible improvement on this?
The argument of more compute power for this plan can be true, but this is also a pricing tactic known as the decoy effect or anchoring. Here's how it works:

1. A company introduces a high-priced option (the "decoy"), often not intended to be the best value for most customers.

2. This premium option makes the other plans seem like better deals in comparison, nudging customers toward the one the company actually wants to sell.

In this case for Chat GPT is:

Option A: Basic Plan - Free

Option B: Plus Plan - $20/month

Option C: Pro Plan - $200/month

Even if the company has no intention of selling the Pro Plan, its presence makes the Plus Plan seem more reasonably priced and valuable.

While not inherently unethical, the decoy effect can be seen as manipulative if it exploits customers’ biases or lacks transparency about the true value of each plan.

I think 99% of usage of the acronym FUD is dumb, so I don't use this lightly, but this is some pretty seriously bad FUD.

If you connect to your database using an AGPL licensed db client, you don't have to change all your codebases to AGPL. Unless your code is a modification to the tool, and you are going to distribute it to others, it imposes no obligations whatsoever. It wouldn't even make logical sense. If you write a new browser or even a curl replacement and license it AGPL, and use it to curl Google, would G have to AGPL their entire giant monorepo?
I was using o1-preview on paid chatgpt for a while and I just wasn’t impressed. I actually canceled my subscription, because the free versions of these services are perfectly acceptable as LLMs go in 2024.
Nah. There's so much stuff that would need to be implemented.

> There are testing services and test strips available for testing your water

With the caution that some of the cheaper tests (especially through online sales) may be counterfeit or have a bad error-rate.
>The training data is the underlying truth

Correct. What is the training data? Language in the form of sentences and documents and words and "tokens". No human language has any normal or natural encoding of "fact" or "truthiness" which is the entire point. You can only rarely evaluate a string of text for truthiness without external context.

An LLM "knows" the structure and look of valid text. That's why they rarely produce grammar mistakes, even when "hallucinating". A lie, a made up reference, a physical impossibility, contradictions, etc are all "valid sentences". That's why you can never prevent an LLM from producing falsehoods, lies, contradictions etc.

Truthiness cannot be hacked in after the fact, and I currently believe that LLMs as an architecture are not powerful enough a statistical tool that you even COULD train an LLM that had "truthiness" of the entire corpus labeled somehow, especially since that's on it's own a fairly impossible task.
I can't even get a normal result with today's gpt4, why would I consider a $200/month subscription? I'm sure I'm not the target but how is this tool worth the buck?
I recently slapped 3 different 3 page sql statements and their obscure errors with no line or context references from Redshift into Claude, it was 3 for 3 on telling me where in my query I was messing up. Saved me probably 5 minutes each time but really saved me from moving to a different task and coming back. So around $100 in value right there. I was impressed by it. I wish the query UI I was using just auto-ran it when I got an error. I should code that up as an extension.
>Well that would cost Miami taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, and this costs Miami taxpayers nothing. It would also take decades.

> Oh my God, i has forgotten about that black mirror episode. Strange we don't see more civilian attack drones, they'll only get easier to make.

It's probably because killing someone with a gun is far more represented in the media. Guns are a product that can be purchased off the shelf.

Also civilian kamikaze drones would probably be easy to jam and on top of that require a lot more technical skill to pull off. You'd have to build a bomb and some kind of fuze, and it'd be a lot more expensive to practice and test it out to the point where it would be likely to work (v.s. a gun where you can buy a bunch of bullets for probably a fraction of the cost of a single unmodified drone).
Tesla is a unique case in that their overvaluation is very much tied to elon personally. Elon is also a public and recognizable figure. Security is usually to keep the crazies away, not the dedicated attacker. If you're a nonpublic figure you don't have to worry about being recognized and attacked by random crazy people.
The idea that severe punishment for executive failure will lead to improved executive decision making I don't think bears out.

When dictators publicly executed advisor 1 and then advisor 2 and then advisor 3, they would still manage to always find someone greedy/desperate enough to want to take a crack on chance #4 or #5. But it did nothing to make the advisors better, it just meant that the next guy had to be even more greedy or desperate.
I really need the source of this.
You have done very well, thank you! I completely agree.

AGPL is perfect for this IMHO. The fact that so many people seem to think that even looking at the github page for an AGPL product will mean everything on Earth suddenly has to be AGPLed is their problem, not yours.
Yep, I’m with you. I’m a solo dev who never went to college… o1 makes far fewer errors than I do! No chance I’d make it past round one of any sort of coding tournament. But I managed to bootstrap a whole saas company doing all the coding myself, which involved setting up a lot of guard rails to catch my own mistakes before they reached production. And now I can consult with a programming intelligence the likes of which I could never afford to hire if it was a person. It’s amazing.
A better way to express it than a "con" is that it's a price-framing device. It's like listing a watch at an initial value of $2,000 so that people will feel content to buy it at $400.
Because division is not trivial. Even computing x mod 3 for an n-bit integer x is O(n), if x is represented in the binary form.
I did look into something like that, and someone did accomplish it with a similar model.

https://1projectaweek.com/blog/2022/2/8/converting-a-carro-h...

I also realized that the skill necessary to accomplish this was way above my comfort level. I did see a product called the Bond Bridge Pro that has good reviews. The FCC ID for the fans isn't listed in their database yet but it may still work. I haven't had the time to dig further into it.

If true, $2,400/y isn't bad for a 24/7/365 intern.
for me this issue's been about mindset: having a bunch of incompletes can be frustrating but in the long run it's better to have half finished projects than not, because

1) doing the work is always beneficial for learning and experience

2) rediscovery of an oldie but goodie can be its own endorphine popper

3) more often than not, new goals or circumstances emerge that add new relevance to incomplete bits and pieces

I can imagine there are probably more similar reasons to see unfinished work as investment rather than time lost

Some amount of discipline is certainly good, but too much can be bad for your health. It comes down to value.

It's okay to not finish side projects — they were fun for a bit! Good for you for finding some low-cost fun!

I make music in my spare time and in the past year I think I barely have an EP worth of tracks that are _nearly finished_, but I've got dozens of neat loops. I've come to peace with this because the value I'm looking for is in the act of spontaneous creation with my instruments.

I put down movies, tv shows, video games when they start to feel like an obligation rather than a fun pursuit. The value starts to taper off. I think that's okay. I have a day job making computer things, a family… free time is so precious. Why force a non-interest?
