* With $1 bills wrap a gift with them as "wrapping paper" you bought at the mall. Generates lots of confusion because it's freaky how real they look (because they are in fact real dollars). Recipient can keep as a novelty or cut up and use.

* If you are giving a gift to someone you know is into crafting and has a precision paper trimmer you can wrap a gift with some higher value items ($100 or $200 total) so the wrapping paper is the gift. Or crumple and use as padding inside the box. I find this annoying personally.

* Talk about money and how they make money with your kids - the novelty is a plus here.

> and which event stopped working

It was `htmx:load`. On 1.x this fired on first page load, which I used to do a bunch of setup of the other little bits of JS I needed, and which would cause that JS to re-setup whenever the page changed.

On 2.x this never fired as far as I could tell. Maybe I got something else wrong, but only downgrading to 1.x seemed to fix it immediately, I didn't investigate further.

I did wonder if there were breaking changes in 2.x, but as far as I could tell from the release notes and documentation there were not.

Well, there you get that I don't believe in letting certain people own ideas and then stick to them as if they were given revelation from on high about how things should work. The distinctive thing about goto that breaks structured programming, to the point that functions as we think of them today can't even exist in such an environment, is the ability to jump arbitrarily.

I'm way less worried about uses of goto that are rigidly confined within some structured programming scope. As long as they stay confined to specific functions, they are literally orders of magnitude less consequential than the arbitrary goto, and being an engineer rather than an academic, I take note of such things.

I don't ask Alan Kay about the exact right way to do OO, I don't ask Fielding about the exact right way to do REST interfaces, and I don't necessarily sit here and worry about every last detail of what Dijkstra felt about structured programming. He may be smarter than me, but I've written a lot more code in structured paradigms than he ever did. (This is not a special claim to me; you almost certainly have too. You should not ignore your own experiences.)
What does a 'purpose-built protocol for each message' look like? You avoid type/tagging overhead, but other than that I'd expect a ""sufficiently smart"" generic protocol to be able to achieve the same level of e.g. data layout optimization. Obviously ProtoBuf in particular is pessimising for the reasons you describe, but I'm thinking of other protocols (e.g. Flatbuffers, Cap'n Proto, etc.)

Cost is a huge factor. Asking a student to write what 7+8 is on a sheet of paper is a cheap substitute of high quality math education.

Not saying that this is the case in OP, it's very likely that the teacher will eventually catch up to the fact that a kid with A on their homework isn't quite a math genius. The same systems that would catch a child being aided by parents or cheating would catch this anomaly.

Gemini Flash is my go-to for many client projects, so there's at least a few people paying for it. If it fits your use case, it's easily the best value for money, and often makes something commercially viable that wouldn't otherwise be.

Sample size of 1, obviously, so YMMV.

I also pay for Claude Pro for personal coding use, so I'm aware that Flash isn't exactly a drop-in replacement for a more powerful model. From my limited testing, though, Pro 2.0 is almost indistinguishable from 3.5 Sonnet.

You can do that with HTMX through events and hx-trigger but it just sounds like HTMX isn't the right tool for what you're trying to do. I've seen a lot of instances of people trying to use HTMX to replace react/vue/etc. and not understanding that they're trying to solve for very different things.

HTMX highly encourages client side scripting for dynamic updates if that's what your UI needs. It's very pro-JavaScript even though a lot of people get confused and try to use it to fully replace JavaScript

> Every jukebox app on Android depends on 100% manual file management.

You've got some great points in there, but as for this one, file management is one of Apple Music's weaker points. I absolutely hate apps that graft their own "library" over top of my already-working filesystem. As someone who's meticulously laid out the directory structure for all of my movies and music, I'm paranoid that some opinionated software is going to just go run roughshod over it, moving things around the way they think files should be organized. I already have a "library". It's an NFS mount on my NAS.

Fortunately, Apple Music still allows you disable this misfeature, but to do it you have to go into Settings and uncheck a bunch of things. Easy to forget.

It's not just that, but also the main protagonist is written terribly and never given any real faults or challenges to overcome. During the entire book there is never a challenge that is not resolved by the next paragraph.

The Japanese friends that he makes are grossly stereotyped and are kept one dimensional during the entire book as well.

The main character also strikes me as incredibly creepy, and to a level where he could be classified as an para-social stalker. Just comes off as being a terrible person overall.

They didn't mention VRAM amount though, and I doubt it's more than 24GB. If Apple M4 Ultra gets close to 1.8 TB/s bandwidth of 5090, it'll crush GeForce once and for all (and for good).

That's kind of different because they were kicking out a relatively small number of people with not much wealth or power to resist as opposed to doing those sorts of projects in urban areas.

I think the key problem is that mapping from FUSE requests to inotify events requires information that only the FUSE daemon has. For example, lets say you open a file with O_CREAT. Whether this should trigger IN_CREATE depends on whether the file already exists. The kernel doesn't know this, and so couldn't be responsible for generating the IN_CREATE event.

Now, the FUSE daemon could generate the event, but correctly generating events (especially handling edge cases) is difficult.

I'll share a perspective as someone who doesn't really have a dog in the fight (For the record, I'm over 20 years into my career but don't fear losing roles/income/status due to AI, and am using it in my projects and can see plenty of ways I could benefit from it):

Lots of people on HN have been in tech for many years or a few decades and have seen several hype waves come and go, including ones involving AI. Plenty of us understand the technology that underlies current AI tech (even if we couldn't have built it ourselves). Some of us have spent plenty of time researching or contemplating nature of consciousness and the philosophy of mind, and see predictions/presumptions of human-like intelligence emerging from GPUs as at least a little silly. Plenty of us have come to know what it looks like when people are making grandiose claims – which they deeply believe to be true – particularly when great status and power seems within reach.

We can at-once happily recognise that contemporary LLMs are highly impressive and powerful, and the efforts of the researchers are brilliant and commendable, whilst also noting that these technologies have major pitfalls and limitations, and no obvious ways to resolve them.

The "blew past the Turing Test" claim is overblown, because we all know that an LLM-based product can seem human-like for much of the time, but then start generating crazy nonsense any moment. A human that behaves like that can cause millions of dollars in business losses, or planes to crash, and all kinds of other costs and harms. Human workers are evaluated on their ability to perform at a high-level on a consistent and predictable basis. By that measure, LLMs are nowhere near good enough for critical applications yet (even if they may be better than many humans at certain things, much of the time).

The claims that LLMs will just keep improving at an accelerating rate until they don't make mistakes anymore are fair enough to make, but until we see solid evidence that it's happening and details of the technology breakthroughs that will make it happen, people are within their rights to reserve judgement.
The problem isn't the non-existence of a social safety net per se, the problem is our taxation rate is as high as countries with a functional social safety net, but we don't actually receive those services.

> Passkeys are going to be a complete failure, because a) vendor lock-in

It's pretty easy to avoid vendor lock-in. Here's what I do when I decide to add passkeys for a site I use.

1. I press the "create a passkey" button on the site's security page (finding this is usually the most time consuming part).

2. My browser gives a dialog offering to save the passkey in 1Password. I let it do so.

3. I press the "create a passkey" button again.

4. I get the same save dialog. This time I pick the option on the dialog to save elsewhere.

5. That dialog goes away and I get a new dialog for saving the passkey in Apple's iCloud. I let it do so.

That all is just "click", "click", "click", "click", <touch fingerprint reader>.

The result is that I now have two passkeys for the site, handled by two different vendors.

> I can easily move a password around; it's just a string. As far as I understand it, major passkey implementations are basically non-portable

> No excuse needed, god (or nature) made cows delicious — what do you think is the reason for that?

Again elegant but broken theory to justify a taste. Have you tried eating cow as it appears in "nature"? Let me know how delicious raw meat is. If you manage to kill it mano el mano as "nature" intended of course ;)

And of course apples are delicious. Beans. Avocado. Nuts.

Stuff can be very bad for you but taste very good. How do you know this is not that case with animals? If you think "god" made them tasty check maybe it was the satan actually? Animal conditions make me think of that guy more;)

The simple healthy meal is not eating animals. Coincidentally not the most tasty by a long shot but taste is subjective and always changes depending on what you get used to
The killer feature about LLMs with programming in my opinion is autocomplete (the simple copilot feature). I can probably be 2-3x more productive as I'm not typing (or thinking much). It does a fairly good job pulling in nearby context to help it. And that's even without a language server.

Using it to generate blocks of code in a chat like manner in my opinion just never works well enough in the domains I use it on. I'll try to get it to generate something and then realize when I get some functional result I could've done it faster and more effectively.

Funny enough, other commenters here hate autocomplete but love chat.
