I appreciate the links. I think this quote from the FAQ captures the disconnect for me:

```
This isn't about rejecting modern development - it's about recognizing that browsers now offer sophisticated capabilities that eliminate the need for most framework abstractions.
```

The problem I have is that I agree with the initial premise, but I disagree with the conclusion. Framework architectures mostly solve different problems than modern web standards.

If you want to go after specifics like 1) just use browser forms and stop re implementing the wheel, 2) you probably don't need a massive state validation library, or 3) stop building CSS features in JS, then I'm 100% on board. But that's not a problem with CSS-in-JS, JSX + render library, components, or many of the other targets you go after.

Things like tailwind (for example) solve fundamentally different problems, and those have more to do with team standardization, avoiding bike shedding, and rapid prototyping. For styling in particular, I don't want to return to the days of crawling through thousands of lines of CSS - edited over years by multiple teams - to find all of the places where different styles impact the specific html component I'm looking at. That's tightly coupled code with loosely defined locations. JSX components just decay less quickly due to encapsulation.

I've also just never seen the separation of CSS and HTML actually provide practical value. It's always been "check out what's possible!" projects like CSS zen garden. Super cool, but that decoupling just doesn't do much in practice.

Like I said, I think there are some interesting ideas here, but I just don't think it's clear why this is a better approach for general web application development (which is the argument you appear to be making).

I'm super curious to see if you prove me wrong, so I'll definitely keep an eye out :). I just don't yet see how the proposed solution solves the identified problems without pulling in a bunch of pain points that were already solved a while ago.
I've seen seniors and above do that.

They never cared about respecting software licenses until Biden said they must. Then they started to lament and cry.
Why? I encourage all my devs to use AI but they need to be able to explain what it does.

It's the first time I've seen collecting payment info to improve user experience.

It's not fully 3d printed. 3d printed parts are fragile.

So what exactly are they banning?

Why not ban the electrochemical machining instead?
Can you define “price gouging”?
It’s coding way, way above intern level. Honestly it’s probably a mid level.
Why bother building a better home when it's cheaper to buy insurance and rebuild later?

This is why prices are important - sometimes it's sensible to build cheaper houses without these safeties if the risk isn't there, but if the risk does exist then it needs to be priced right to provide that incentive.
They keep all the profits and can still sell "anonymized" data. Surely this chilling precedent will have other corporations shivering in fear.
FAA launch licenses require substantial liability insurance. 500 million in this case.

https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/DRSDOCID17389...
In 1666 London had a bit of a problem with fire, after that some building codes were introduced. Buildings made entirely from wood were not allowed and roofs had to have a parapet.

If you don't know what a parapet is, take a look up to the roofs on London's older buildings, the front wall rises up past the bottom of the roof. If there is a fire in the building then the parapet keeps the burning roof inside the footprint of the building rather than let it 'slide off' to set fire to the property on the other side of the street.

The parapet requirement did not extend to towns outside London, which makes me wonder why.

The answer to that is to see what goes on in the USA. After a natural disaster they just pick themselves up and keep going. Florida was obliterated in 2024 but nobody cared after a fortnight. Same with the current wild fires, nobody will care next week, it will be forgotten, even though having one's home destroyed might be considered deeply traumatic.

I think that the key to change is to not have too many natural disasters, ideally nobody has living memory of the last fire/flood/earthquake/pandemic/alien invasion/plague of locusts so that there is no point of reference or 'compassion fatigue'. Only then can there be a fair expectation of political will and the possibility of change.

After all, if I installed spying software on GM's computers, and sold the extracted data to, say, Toyota, I'd face hefty fines. And spend time in prison.

Let me ask you a question. What's the longest time you've spent on a single patient over the last month? What do you think that number is like for your fellow physicians?

Of course this will massively depend on your specific workplace, the ratio of doctors to patients in your vicinity, and so on. But I've seen plenty of doctors for who that statistic can't be higher than 10 minutes.

I'll freely admit I'm biased. I have a medical issue that despite visiting a good number of different doctors, none have properly diagnosed. This is despite the symptoms being visible, audible and showing up on certain scans (inflammation), so it can't be disregarded as "it's in your head". Some have made an attempt, and after that failed quickly did the equivalent of throwing their hands up and saying "I don't know", providing no further path.
This looks like a fake website. The creator of the website is claiming credit for the model, which does not appear to be created by him. The original model can be found here, along with the source code: https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M

Every popular machine learning paper has a fake website associated with it, for some reason. Can anyone figure out why? Another example, someone created this website https://imagen3.org, which is NOT Imagen3 by Google. However, it currently ranks #2 for the model name.
Part of the value of the product that I work on is not introducing security vulnerabilities to our clients. That means keeping things like openssl up to date. We did find a vulnerability in a penetration test as a result of not keeping openssl up to date.

Otherwise, compiler upgrades have improved our runtime and prevented errors (which in our case typically result in the user experiencing a 500), and database upgrades have improved query performance.

So, yes. Update your stuff.
good point it does seem ambiguous in this context any data generated by me or any device I am using and any downstream data derived from that

why wouldn't this be possible? company x gives you y data and tells you we sold it to z and so on and you just follow the chain using some unique identifier

they sell the data openly and i get to see what they're selling win win legislation instead of annoying cookie banners

What's the point of promoting a model as "light weight" or even mentioning the parameter count if I can't run it locally? I don't give a toss how much pressure your remote hardware is under, and promoting a cloud service as small and lightweight only makes me think it's going to be cheap and crappy.

You do realize health insurers have federally mandated caps on their profits, which simply incentivizes creative accounting to make money in more oblique ways, right?

Feedly is horrible.
Cool I am probably never going to buy a jumping supercar so that's not very relevant. The iPhone and the smartphone in general wasn't a revolution because it was a super cool R&D project that would cost ridiculous amounts of money to buy; it was a revolution because everyone bought one. If even as much as 10% of the market buys a "jumping supercar" (which would be absolutely INSANE) then there's still plenty of space in the market for traditional cars. There isn't plenty space in the market for "traditional phones" anymore.
I am not sure why Sikkim is relevant. I am not familiar with it, so I read about it now. And it looks like India’s prime minister actually pushed a resolution through noting that Sikkim is independent. But then Sikkim had a domestic movement to join India and voluntarily did that. This seems like the opposite of annexation.

Regarding floods - if Bangladesh wants an upstream dam, why aren’t they included as a decision maker on whether the Chinese dam goes ahead? Clearly this is because they would say no to it. The issue isn’t floods - it’s that China can withhold water for drinking and irrigation and threaten the country with starvation and famine. It’s a huge national security threat.
Yes, that's why the new system has to be a complete replacement. Part of it's spec COULD be to provide backwards interfaces too, in case things can't all be cutover at once, but that would increase the project scope and also tie things down to the old system too.

Part of a full replacement system would be the option to use a _different_ set of rules, which better reflect current desires and are, hopefully, easier to implement.

Yes the old data would need to be _transcribed_ during it's restoration to the new system, and human bureaucratic layers can likely handle issues. Heck, they could do a deferred implementation of the new system where one long weekend the new system's brought up, and any of the issues that are noticed as kinks worked out. When there aren't any _noticed_ kinks in those tests have the results sent out to the stakeholders and solicit feedback on if there are any inaccuracies. Which might take a year or two of renewals and updates and the annual business as they see if the new notices are correct or not.
How does just offering higher deductibles, hurt the 'poors'? Nobody said do away with lower deductibles. Are you saying they are not sophisticated enough to understand a proper deductible for their situation?
I would argue that it is way easier to build a business around GPL licence than MIT.

I think the subject at hand is different from what you are writing.

What you are saying doesn't apply to the debate between permissive licenses and copy left licenses.
This seems to be a general pattern emerging. Cynical opportunists are wrapping hf endpoints/embeds in dodgy SaaS offerings. A similar one is BetterDictation, which tbf I do use. But I still hate that people are profiting off open-spirited ML engineers and HF's goodwill.

Notice in this case that each testimonial avatar links to an image asset with a different name than the purported persons' name. Notice additionally the user in the thread who's pushing this 'product'; their post history makes it obvious they're an LLM slopBot...
At some level, insurance is about spreading out financial risk. Insurance companies would love for every policy to be profitable, but if we let it go that far, it's merely a savings account with negative interest rates. At another level, insurance is about analyzing risk and making it more expensive to take bigger risks. Where do we want the tradeoff between these things? Whatever we choose, we have to have some ability to predict / evaluate risk.

In the face of climate change, places that have been safe for a very long time are becoming unsafe. But I don't see a reason these shifts won't happen over and over as climate change unfolds. It might be worse than mass migrations... migrations to locations which later become dangerous, turning into recurring mass migrations.

How well can we predict where it will be safe in the coming decades and where it won't. Coastal land at or below current sea level (plus storm surge) is fairly predictable, especially where there isn't the population density (and money) to support building sea walls. But with things like rivers changing course (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsek_River), it might become very difficult to predict what's going to be safe down the road. Today we talk about things like 100-year flood plains, but how will we establish flood probabilities when the river that might flood in 10 or 20 years doesn't even exist today?

Are the people who get unlucky with predictions just screwed because their home equity is gone? Or are we going to decide to shoulder the burden together? We're going to find out a lot about humanity, the role of government, etc. as we go through all of this.
Not disagreeing, but also not sure what your point is
but people always talk about how insurance is guaranteed in europe something must be working if gunning down a CEO is pro the people wouldn't copying one of the European countries be even more pro the people?

At some point in your life you'll realise that not everyone thinks the same way as you do. Hopefully it happens for you before your mindset seriously dents your future prospects.

Your original assertion "There's absolutely no way to earn wealth now" is ludicrous: was it possible a month ago? a year ago? a decade ago? Did anyone become wealthy through methods other than gambling or inheritance a month ago? a year ago? a decade ago? If even one person did, this disproves your assertion, unless you want to claim some as-yet-unmentioned recent change that made it possible then and impossible now.

Your supporting theory about gambling is only true if you define every single choice you make in life as a gamble to some extent, which is a weird way of thinking about the world.

As for the "you didn't build that" stuff & snark, I don't recall claiming I did anything all by myself, nor did I see anyone claim you have to do everything all by yourself to "earn wealth". Nice strawman.
Why is the burden on insurance companies to make up for individual poor decisions?

In some cases it makes sense to socialise the losses, but I'm not convinced this is one of them.
SpaceX's Starship test flight ends in failure after spacecraft is destroyed
> A major project will discover that it has merged a lot of AI-generated code, a fact that may become evident when it becomes clear that the alleged author does not actually understand what the code does. We depend on our developers to contribute their own work and to stand behind it; large language models cannot do that. A project that discovers such code in its repository may face the unpleasant prospect of reverting significant changes.

A lot of companies are going to discover in 2025. Also, a major product company is going to find LLM-generated code that might have been trained on OSS code, and their compliance team is going to throw a fit.
CDDL is a good license. GPLv2 is a good license. They happen to be (maybe) incompatible. That doesn't make either of them bad. I mean, would you argue that GPLv2 is bad because it's not compatible with CDDL?
All of the comments about how hard Mullholland Drive was to follow are making me wonder if I missed something. I watched it a couple of times when it was in the theater and enjoyed it, but I don't remember being all that confused. Certainly not like Twin Peaks confused. I guess now is as good a time as any to rewatch it.
I like to use LTS distros and check dependencies every six months. I don't think it adds value, fundamentally it's revisiting stable code to change something that is working so it introduces a risk, but it prevents having to deal with an accumulation of changes all at once which can introduce incompatibilities and other dependency issues.
You know what

They don't have a problem implementing caps on a free tier. No one's asking for perfect, but they don't seem to care about even getting to the ballpark.
What did you do for liability insurance?
Why? Some people are so convinced they won't make it if they follow the rules and ethical principles, they try to do with out them.
It's not very common for people to do drive-by pull requests that just copy code from Stack Overflow on open source projects. I've already started seeing that with LLM generated code. And yeah, hopefully the problems with it are caught, but it wastes the maintainers time and drives maintainer Burnout.
Yeah.. The surface of anything rarely tells the whole story
Can wholeheartedly recommend swapping the sticks on the joycons with hall-effect ones from Gulikit. Made an immense difference for mine who were suffering from drift.
The people are risk pay less, all of the other people forced to participate in your general insurance pay more.

If I live in the middle of a city in an apartment block should I pay the same rates to insure against wildfire as someone in the middle of a dry forest? Probably not, but govenrment-mandated insurance programs force me to.
I have had similar experiences using less popular libraries. My favorite state machine library released a new version a year ago and the LLMs, regardless of prompts telling them not to, will always use the old API. I find the LLMs are worthless when organizing ideas across multiple files. And, worst, they are not by their nature capable of consistency.

On the other hand, I use d3.js for data visualization which has had a stable API for years, has likely hundreds of thousands of examples that are small contained in a single file, and has many blog posts, O'Reilly books, and tutorials. The LLMs create perfect data visualizations that are high quality. Any request to change one such as adding dynamic sliders or styling tooltips, for example, are done without errors or bugs. People who do data visualization likely will be the first to go. :(

I am concerned that new libraries will not gain traction because the LLMs haven't been trained to implement them. We will be able to implement all the popular libraries, languages, and techniques quickly, however, innovation might stall if we rely on these machines stuck in the past.
Even if there's no "real" reason to upgrade them today, the longer you go between updates the larger and more difficult the task will be when you eventually can't ignore it any longer.

Suchir Balaji: In the long run, only the fundamentals matter
As I said, the debris was likely closer to around ~100km in altitude. Commercial airliners fly around ~10km in altitude. Appearing to be at a similar altitude as the plane and "in front" of it was an optical illusion because the debris was intensely bright, very far away, very high and moving several times faster than a bullet. While we don't have exact data yet, I believe it is highly likely there was zero chance of that plane ever hitting that debris given their relative positions. It couldn't even if the pilots weren't mistaken about how close the debris was and they had intentionally tried to hit it. The debris was too far, too high and moving at hypersonic speeds (hence the metal being white hot from atmospheric friction).

Starship's flight paths are carefully calculated by SpaceX and the FAA to achieve this exact outcome. In the event of a RUD near orbit, little to no debris will survive reentry. Any that does survive won't reach the surface (or aircraft in flight) until it is far out into the Atlantic Ocean away from land, people, flight paths and shipping lanes. For Starship launches the FAA temporarily closes a large amount of space in the Gulf of Mexico to air and ship traffic because that's where Starship is low and slow enough for debris to be a threat to aircraft. These planes were flying in the Caribbean, where there was no FAA NOTAM closing their airspace because by the time Starship is over the Caribbean, it's in orbit. If there's a RUD over the Caribbean it's already too high and going too fast for debris to be a threat to aircraft or people anywhere near the Carribean. The only "threat" in the Caribbean today was from anyone being distracted by the pretty light show in orbit far above them (that looked deceptively close from some angles).
> because if they cared about privacy they would put some rules in place that even US companies would have to follow

Those rules are already in place. TikTok violated them. They literally lied in a congressional hearing about it too.
Naive question, but why not raise taxes in hazardous areas, and use that money for a state-run insurance?
It's very sad. Two projects by David Lynch remain unfinished due to the director's illness: the film Antelope Don’t Run No More, which rumors suggest was completed back in 2010, and a Netflix series titled Wisteria/Unrecorded Night. I hope we get to see at least something from these...
LynchForever – A Tribute Site for David Lynch
David Lynch shaped the way we see dreams, mystery, and the strange beauty of life itself. In his honor, I built this tribute site where fans can share their thoughts and memories.

The site is powered by Vercel, Upstash Redis, Turbo monorepo, shadcn/ui, Framer Motion, and OpenAI’s Moderation API for abuse prevention. Some of this stack is overkill, but I had a scaffolded project ready, making it a quick build with minimal performance overhead.

If you have thoughts on Lynch or ideas for improving the site, feel free to share them.
You can buy SaaS kits that include a frontend with pricing pages, backend and all code necessary to wrap any API and resell at a profit.
This sounds like a very US-centric view and id strongly disagree that only the profit motive keeps economies and people going.

You almost said it yourself, "The US does a weird thing where insurance no longer means pooling risk". Why? Is it the profit motive or gov. regulation?

My answer: The selective approach of insurance companies mirrors the profit seeking lack of solidarity, which is ultimately incompatible with the risk pooling purpose, insurance companies are justified with.

Free markets have down sides and failure conditions too and only principled gov. regulation can fix it.
Thank you Jake! I just played with the motion website and loved it. I am going to try to use it sometime
He's talking to the FAA, because this will trigger an investigation and would usually mean months of no launches.
Much less than half of the tree mass is used that way. (But of course also the part in buildings is there only temporarily, for the lifespan of the building)
Happy to see Mouse83 get some air time :)
Since you mentioned FL, we have mostly solved hurricane level wind resistant building codes. Hurricane ties are cheap and they work. Anything built post hurricane Andrew has these. There's also materials like Hardi Plank siding, which does add a bit more cost, but effectively surrounds the house in a thin layer of concrete. Flooding is a mixed bag. My house is built substantially up and off the ground above the '100 year flood line'. Even if a flood didn't enter the dwelling proper, it would still be devastating.

The problem is storms are getting bigger and more frequent from climate change and hitting areas they normally don't.
They didn't say computer science, that said programming.
