JS having BigInt type has nothing to do with JSON. Backend languages have had BigInt types forever. It isn't relevant to JSON as a format.

Just one example: Azure Cosmos DB stores JSON documents. If you try to store integers larger than 53 bits there those integers will be silently rounded to 53 bits. I know someone who got burned by this very badly loosing their data; I was able to explain them exactly why...

JSON basically does not define what a number is; and that is a disaster for it as an API format.
I think you're talking about the differencing between coding and writing systems, which means you're talking teams, not individuals.

Rarely, systems can be initiated by individuals, but the vast, vast majority are built and maintained by teams.

Those teams get smaller with LLMs, and it might even lead to a kind of stasis, where there are no new leads with deep experience, so we maintain the old systems.

That's actually fine by big iron, selling data, compute, resilience, and now intelligence. It's a way to avoid new entrants with cheaper programming models (cough J2EE).

So, if you're really serious about dragging in "commercial-grade", it's only fair to incorporate the development and business context.

> If that statement isn't coming from ego, then where is it coming from? It's provably true that LLM's can generate working code. They've been trained on billions of examples.

I am pro AI and I'm probably even overvaluing the value AI brings. However, for me, this doesn't work in more "esoteric" programming languages or those with stricter rulesets like Rust. LLMS provide fine JS code, since there's no compiler to satisfy, but CPP without undefined behaviour or compiling Rust code is rare.

There's also no chance of LLMS providing compiling code if you're using a library version with a newer API than the one in the training set.
This is so impressive that it's achievable, I maybe morbidly was imagining if we were to be wiped out due to this and another species were able to evolve to study how we died, would they come across these mirror Bacteria and believe they were natural. It all has very "Death Stranding" tones but I'm not a biologist by any means.
One thing to add, which is the thing that surprised me: not only the trains stop; _there are no replacement bus services_.

Where I'm from, where the rail services when they stop for the night, have _some_ replacement — you might need to wait 30 minutes for a bus, and then ride it along the U-Bahn tracks and the trip will take 45 minutes instead of 15; but there is _a_ way to get home before the trains resume.

You're the one that's of for sure considering the first 1ghz processor didn't come out until 1999. The Pentium PRO of 1995 (November at that)boasted a Max. CPU clock rate of 150 MHz to 200 MHz.

Confirmation bias in my experience. “ChatGPT can write this email to investors for me!” cognitively balloons into “ChatGPT can replace my engineering team!” Quite possibly a dash of Dunning-Kruger Effect too.

> A whimsical pelican, adorned in oversized sunglasses and a vibrant, patterned scarf, gracefully balances on a vintage bicycle, its sleek feathers glistening in the sunlight. As it pedals joyfully down a scenic coastal path, colorful wildflowers sway gently in the breeze, and azure waves crash rhythmically against the shore. The pelican occasionally flaps its wings, adding a playful touch to its enchanting ride. In the distance, a serene sunset bathes the landscape in warm hues, while seagulls glide gracefully overhead, celebrating this delightful and lighthearted adventure of a pelican enjoying a carefree day on two wheels.

What does it produce for “A pelican riding a bicycle along a coastal path overlooking a harbor”?

Or, what do Sora and Veo produce for your verbose prompt?

> I am probably also more sour on just how silly difficult it is to put pixels on a screen nowadays.

It seems like it's always been this way. I messed around with VB6 as a kid. It was an amazingly intuitive experience to work with forms, buttons, and hooking up simple actions to them.

However, when it came time to do some simple 2d graphics, like moving balls around the screen, you'd be in the deep end, trying to figure out BitBlt and double-buffering and the like. You might as well have been using C++.
Another option is to use a password manager that supports passkeys, such as BitWarden. You can even host it locally, behind a VPN, if you don't trust the threat modelling of their hosted version.

Then, it's a case of installing BitWarden on any devices you want to use to login, protected with a strong password and 2FA.
> Imagine how frustrating would it be if your os does it wrongly and you end up paying 10x because the os nerfed your main process because it thought something more important was running

Imagine how frustrating it is when the Linux on your desktop suddenly decides to start randomly killing processes, or worse, attempts to swap some memory out, causing a feedback loop of delays that completely freezes the system until you power-cycle the machine.

That's one of the two things Windows always did better (the other thing is disabling write buffering for removable storage, on the account of that storage being, well, removable).

Resource limits are not something you want to discover when you've exceeded them; they need to be managed and alerted about in advance. "Makes computer slower" and alerting the "people who pay for compute" is preferable to crashing - especially in distributed systems, where failures cascade (particularly when the whole system has been penny-pinched / overoptimized to the same degree as any single computer within it).
Ask HN: Using LLMs for Better Design in Front End Development?
Hey HN,

I've been leveraging LLMs to quickly build out React apps, which is great, but I'm really struggling with the design aspect. My apps function well, but they lack that polished look, and I end up in an unproductive loop of CSS adjustments.

Has anyone explored using LLMs specifically for design improvements? How can they be harnessed to create more visually appealing outcomes without the endless tweaking?

Thanks!
Yeah, but anybody with statistical knowledge might have been able to guess that this is a random process and that not evetything is down to individual performance.

The point of the thought experiment is to make us think of what the system contributes to team/individual performance. In reality every procedd might have a random component, but it might also have a feedback component — e.g. you give a project with many red beats to a team that did well before only to have them (to us: predictably) underperform, then you give it to another team etc.

The lesson here is to understand this underperformance doesn't necessarily mean they got worse, it just means they got the harder project to pull off and other teams might have underperformed even more.

If you as a manager focus on the totally fictional underperformance of one team vs the other you optimize things that had no bearing on the outcome. In fact you will make things worse as you make yourself believe the (in reality worse) team that only handled red-bead-free projects before will perform better.
That does sound Kafkaesque, but maybe it's a weird example where intrusive surveillance isn't completely bad.
For the title holder, in this case the Earl of Lovelace, they are often referred to ("styled") simply by the place name. So after William King-Noel was created Earl.of Lovelace he was styled "Lovelace". She would have been styled "Lady Lovelace" in society, and "Countess of Lovelace" in formal contexts

> Protein binding sites change when mirrored because it’s not just mirror image but a change in how the proteins twist when folding, which is why most of them are sensitive to chirality

Wouldn't this pretty much rule out the synthetic creation of mirror bacteria? We should not just be able to rewrite a simple existing lifeform in mirrored version; we should recode all its proteins from scratch so that they keep their function in a mirror version, assuming that that's even possible.
It’s kind of hilarious that anybody considers this “democratizing” creating media. How many people that need a video clip are going to be capable of running an open version of this themselves? The wonky “open” models aren’t even close. How much do you think these services are going to cost once the introductory period financed by race-to-the-bottom money stops? OpenAI already charges $200/mo if you want to be guaranteed more than 30-60 minutes of Advanced Voice. The introductory period exists solely to get people engaged enough to push through blatantly stealing millions of artists creative output so they can have a beautiful tool they sell to Hollywood for a whole lot of money that’s still less than traditional vfx, and to m everyone gets to dink around in the useless free models or too-expensive-for-most prosumer tools and people with expensive video card arrays or the functional equivalent will still be niche tinkering hobbyists with inferior tooling and models and the skilled commercial artists still employed are being paid shit because of market forces. Great job SV. Making the world a better place.
Most implementations sync passkeys to the respective clouds.
I agree about the recognizable look and its subtle second-order effects, but using LaTex as the typical in-group/out-group example is problematic when its use is a precondition for achieving a workable outcome.

Its like saying that carpenters are using their toolkit to merely signal professionalism.

In fact the same ambiguity applies to in certain cases to the original post (see my other comment). If people are forced to use a certain communication technology / form by technical or legal reasons then this is not a good example of in-group/out-group. Such examples are much better served by discretionary choices.
I appreciate you wasn’t but a lot of the discussion about these issues follows the same pattern of people pretending there isn’t an issue, then pretending that it isn’t as bad and then arguing over the minutia.

This convo thread the same route of someone disputing the fact the journalists were having their homes raided, I couldn’t remember the name of the journalist or the exact time, so when someone does find it, we then have a discussion on the exact language and numbers. Ignoring the fact that what I said was largely correct.

The number seems reasonable considering the data we have. TBH, It doesn’t matter if it is 1000 or 3000. It is too much either way IMO.

This isn’t a right or left "team sports" issue either. I deliberately avoid talking in those terms yet people seem to assign a team to you.
I'm not, I find the entire Rust language to be very unreadable.

I have seen a lot of templating languages like the one in Dioxus but I don't think you will "win" the hearts of people with a templating like this:

```
rsx! {
footer { class: "footer",
span { class: "todo-count",
strong { "{active_todo_count} " }
span {
match active_todo_count() {
1 => "item",
_ => "items",
}
" left"
}
}
```

Even if I can read it, it's much more of a hassle since I have to translate this into actual html in my brain. Why would I pick this over regular jsx with React? Sure crossplatform is cool, but I already do crossplatform since I only do web dev like most people nowadays.

Maybe I'm not the target customer here, but I have a hard time finding a reason why I should pick something that is much more complex. Speed sure but the gains are not good enough to warrant learning this and if I was a betting man I would bet against it in it's current form due to the learning curve. Also I worry about the financing sine I've read that you guys are taking in VC. Obviously there is some kind of plan in order to make money in the future and I wonder what rug-pull will happen.

The thing is, I have been looking on Rust due to the performance and the potential in wasm (I do very client heavy apps that would benefit from it). But I really don't like the language or the community so I'm basically waiting for other languages to keep up.

When I go in on a technology, I want to master it. So it will require a lot of learning and time investment for me which is my most precious resource and not something I will throw away lightly.
Yeah.. generations.

This is a pretty cynical take, but I would think that having AI management would be highly undesirable for companies, and not because it would be bad at managing.

Even in good, reputable companies, there is a certain amount of legally/ethically dubious behavior that is nonetheless desirable.

An H1B candidate for a position has been found, but it must be demonstrated that there is no local candidate for that position. Every local candidate must fail the interview, whether or not that is fair.

You have a small team. You've hired someone good at their job, but over lunch, they've mentioned they plan to have 10 children, so they will be on parental and FMLA leave for 3+ months a year indefinitely. You need to find a problem with this person's performance.

You have a team of developers. One of them has done a great job this past year, but the project they are working on and their specialization is no longer needed. It would not be fair to them to give them a middling performance review, but it's in the company's interest that the limited compensation budget goes towards retaining someone with skills aligned to the future direction.

An AI would have any unethical or illegal prompting exposed for any court to examine. Likewise, there would be little reason not to maintain a complete record of everything the management AI is told or does. One could design an AI that leadership talks to off the record, which then manifests its instructions in its state, and then could lie (or be unable to prove) its instructions later. That would then be similar to a human manager.

But I don't think any court would accept such an off the record lying AI. So an AI probably can't keep any secrets, can't lie for the company's benefit in depositions or court, and can't take the fall for leadership.

That's sensationalism. Mirror bacteria would be at a severe disadvantage as there are no natural mirror aminoacids. Normal bacteria will quickly evolve to consume mirror aminoacids. And there are much much more normal bacteria than any possible mirror bacteria. They would be wiped out pretty quickly.

> The core here is, that if engineering is going, then law is going, marketing is going and a lot of other professions are also going

The difference is reliance costs. We go to a doctor or a lawyer instead of a book because the risk of mistake is too high.

But development work can be factored; the guarantees are in the testing and deployment. At the margins maybe you trust a tech lead's time estimates or judgment calls, but you don't really rely on them as much as prove them out. The reliance costs became digestable when agile reduced scope to tiny steps, and they were digested by testing, cloud scaling, outsourcing, etc. What's left is a fig leaf of design, but ideas are basically free.

Societal obligation in this case is literally basic minor respect towards the remaining people. And frankly, the loneliness epidemic HN like to talk about is closely related to the ideology where the only thing that matters is yourself.
I'm in the beginning stages of a write-up about it for an SPA. It would be useful if there were more current working examples online like the other frameworks to demonstrate how to use the library.

This is exactly what I ask for in my interviews for backend engineers. I had good success filtering for backend engineers who view database as a part of the business logic rather than purely just a storage. The “answer” to the question has many variables with no right solution, so it’s also an opportunity to assess the candidate’s communication skills and how they tackle uncertainty.
I future proof my career by making sure I deeply understand what my users need, how the tech landscape available to satisfy those needs change over time and which solutions work within the constraints of my organization and users.

"Large companies are still thinking about privacy of data etc but all of that will simply not matter in the long run."

Privacy is a fundamental right.

And companies should care about not leaking trade secrets, including code, but the rest as well.

Companies should have their own private LLM, not rely on cloud instances with a contract that guarantees "privacy".
