Yeah I have similar feeling:

1) They try similar like Zuck with LLama make sure GPT or Claude or Gemini is not the real winner in the West world like Android/iOS was for smartphone, Facebook/Whatsapp for social media/IM, Google Search for search, Windows for desktop OS. Majority people get used to to single product and they don't switch often.

2) Trying to kickstart community similar like LLama kickstarted big community around it that helped with tooling, testing, etc.

3) Slowing down development of ai companies in the west - giving them less data for training (after all midjourney, elevenlabs, llama kickstarted training on copyrighted content, it's pretty sure they using user data at least from e.g. free version of GPTo-mini) and bleeding their budget kind of war of attrition.

4) Familiarise the west audience with their ai models - after all still not many people using models like DeepkSeek since not many providers host them and majority of people don't have fast enough computer to run full models fast enough - Trae helps with that

No, a background of interstate commerce is considered to be meaningful. It’s why the Texas power grid being so isolating has meaning.

However the court views a commodity as influencing and being influenced by interstate trade even if that specific gallon of oil never crossed state lines. From a purely economic standpoint it’s a reasonable take. Even Europe’s use of oil influences US oil prices let alone what happens in another state.

It’s both an upside and downside of the judicial system that they take things in context.
Social media and HN included is a magnet for people with extreme political views to voice them (presumably because it’s the only audience they have).

Trump won with an overwhelming mandate. He is popular with a majority of the country.

The fact that nobody on HN seems to support Trump should tell you about who is on HN.
Does anybody have tips or tools for archiving web apps? I find that Archivebox and archive.org often don’t capture a working web app, which is understandable because resources and scripts can be loaded dynamically. Maybe it’s not really solvable without manual work and auditing the web app’s code.
I suggest to you that if you try to make that happen, you'll find that in fact you can't. Not everything you can imagine people doing is something that it's actually possible to make them do.

> Rust only eliminates memory safety issues of C/C++

According to Microsoft, about 70% of all security bugs in their products are memory safety issues.

These could be all be eliminated with a language that doesn't allow it in the first place.

You are not alone. The only future for these sorts of AI coding helpers is for them to use 100% free software AIs. On the bright side good progress is being made in that area and the main sticking point seems to be the expensive hardware to run them on (and integration). Costs on that hardware will hopefully drop over time so they won't still be mostly limited to 1st world (like the subscriptions).
They laid us all off. They had huge plans - millions of users! Then they intersected reality in KC where all people wanted was 5Mbit service and free TV... There were many, many people working to perfect the settop box for example. We got fq_codel running on the wifi, we never got anywhere on the shaper, the plan was to move 1+m units of that (horrible integrated chip the comcerto C2000 - it didn´t have coherent cache in some cases), I think they barely cracked 100k before pulling the plug on it all....

and still that box was better than what most fiber folk have delivered to date.

At least some good science was done about how ISPs really work... and published.

Holly crap. This man is the messiah of tech. Keep going my guy. That is so impressive. I look forward to what you do next.
No I wasn't familiar with brushing, I'll have to look into it. When you say powers that be, that's basically the community, I mentioned mods but I don't think it should be "policed" or moderated by some upper level overlords or even me if I were to build it, the power of the system lies in community connections and if the community is intent on seeing themselves better as a whole then I would hope they themselves would make good decisions here. Your suggestion points in the direction of my thinking.
This reservation has taken firm hold on me and has made me a slower adopter of shiny new things.

I feel alright about it from a local perspective (I'm a lot more productive now than I was before), but I do wonder what it does to the overall dynamic and incentive to write shiny new things or generally update the ecosystem.

The LLMs will get more powerful, but to what extent will their work be dominated by existing tools (with lots of existent human-generated exemplar)?
> 3. The idea is our team's responsibility and cannot be done by another team

Is it really true that your company cannot implement any idea that could potentially be done by more than one team?
Language is a means of communication, and we have to have some sort of agreement on terms. REST had an original meaning; that is a useful thing to be able to discuss. JSON-RPC is also a useful thing to discuss. But the two things are different. It’s confusing to use the one word or phrase to mean two different things (like ‘inflammable’!).

Granted, language is to some extent defined by usage: if enough people use a term incorrectly, and few enough people use it correctly, then the incorrect usage becomes correct and the correct incorrect. Fine, we can use ‘REST’ to mean ‘RPC over HTTP with a JSON encoding.’ But could the advocates of that usage propose a term we can all use for what Fielding described in his thesis? Potrzebie?

The thing that worries me, is if we start using ‘REST’ to mean JSON-RPC, and ‘Potrzebie’ to mean ‘the style formerly known as REST’: will people start using ‘Potrzebie’ to mean JSON-RPC? Perhaps worse, maybe they will start using it to mean ‘gRPC with JSON encoding.’

I propose that it’s best to use words and phrases for what they originally mean, for as long as one can, and to fight strenuously against changing them. Otherways wun May nyet wit was kood hap.
I think the original REST is only suitable for "file" resources, so there's WebDAV and nobody bothers to use it these days.
Man!! This is sooo impressive. I did a little research on making my own motherboard (not even for a laptop) and didn’t get anywhere nearly as far.

I just want to throw money at you! We need an open source laptop!!
Have you thought about finally adding a split ergonomic keyboard to a laptop instead of the standard slab?
I was incarcerated in San Francisco's 850 Bryant St county jail. This office is inhabited by the city's Sheriff department, district attorney, and superior court. A blatant concentration of power. The county court and DA belong in the civic center, NOT the jail. Here is a short list of grievances against the jail with regard to abuse of inmates and security guards:

#1: A single guard watches over 100 prisoners at a given time. The main cells are located on the "7th" floor, meaning backup is a 7 floor elevator ride away. It's suicide for that one guard, and they do it on purpose. The reality of "F pod" is that it's complete anarchy controlled by the fear of solitary confinement and an extended sentence. Thus, the inmates don't dissent and are completely obedient.

#2: The water is full of iron. Why does the water taste bloody? Becausw there's either rust, or it's intentionally poisoned with metal. Either way, it is completely unethical, and is also the reason why people constantly vomit and cough. They also feed us milk. 90% of the prisoners are Black, and what digestive disorder do we tend to have? Lactose intolerance. They feed us that shit on purpose, so we shit our guts out. It's vomit or diahrrea.

#3 There's a fake dead lynched body in the pen window 25. And yeah I said pen, there's no bars. Only pens and solitary confiment cells. Except the solitary confinement isn't solitary because you can scream your lungs out and the rest of the F pod will hear you. It's a demonstration. It's meant to make you afraid. Normal prisons don't intentionally induce fear and terror.

What can you do?

Please, if you live in San Francisco or the Bay Area in general, please visit 850 Bryant St, SF. Please take a look at the art piece they have outside, and wonder; just what does that symbolize? What do these rusty old iron links symbolize? The architecture is Brutalism. BRUTAL-ism, for a reason. It's an ugly building.

If you can walk in the front door, ask the sheriffs and whoever else works there what the banity of evil is. If they can't define it, they are the BANE OF EVIL.

I'm not familiar with 6rd, do you get actual routable IPs that you can use (to host services, etc)? Or is it just some kind of NAT equivalent?
I've lived in the UK, the USA, and Australia. I've had excellent employer funded/subsidised health insurance in the latter two. The moment my wife & learned we were having our first child it focussed our priorities in an incredibly clear and sudden way, and healthcare was a huge component of that. It was immediately clear we did not want to have a raise a family with the US healthcare system given the other alternatives we had available to us. We saw out the pregnancy in the USA and moved home to Australia shortly after. Our second child was born in Australia. The out of pocket cost difference between the two countries was negligible. My wife would subjectively say the quality of care we got in the USA was slightly higher, though there was nothing wrong with the care we got in Australia either so it's almost splitting hairs just to declare a winner. The most obvious difference is how little planning or effort needs to be made around healthcare decisions in Australia. No worrying about if we're in network or not. No worrying about if the pathology lab that's doing the testing is in network. Is some out of network surgeon going to be attending/observing on the day? What are the financial impacts if there are complications? Do we need to pre-agree a plan of what's acceptable financially? Is the bill we receive at the end accurate? Are there risks of signification on-going medication or other costs for medications if there's a complication in surgery?

Just a whole swathe of anxiety and stress that doesn't exist anymore. I'm not sure I can put a price on how valuable that is for our family. I clearly priced it higher than the higher income and lower tax I'd be paying if I'd stayed in the Bay Area though.
I've learned the value of this.

Some people don't realize the value of something unless you show it to them. It's a risk for sure but honestly it keeps me sane vs trying to get 10 people aligned before starting something and then running out of time.

People will happily take credit for your work after it works.
In your opinion, is this the very best use of our time right now? Why is it better than every other alternative?
Well that is honestly a bit of a relief. If the government wants to stymie innovation like this the product isn’t going to take my job anytime soon.

so much love for tailwind! I've used it since version 1 and have been always my default for starting new projects.

Congrats to tailwind team!
Framework team, hire this guy, when it's legal :)
Will be interesting to see how that fairs with /r/nfl banning links to X.
Japan is the leader of robotics technology for a reason - a lot of eggs are going into that basket.

I don't really think failing societies will do what is necessary to reverse the trends - the opposite actually. With decline comes uncertainty and fear and so those that people that remain will entrench themselves and try to prevent "outsiders" from taking advantage of their own population decline.

Like, say if China ends up half of its current housing available in 70 years - opening up to foreigners, really anyone, to buy them and immigrate on the cheap would be smart... but that would mean a society that has just experienced an incredible trauma then turns around to watch half of their world be taken over be optimistic, eager, productive 1st generation immigrants - it is unlikely Han Chinese 3000+ year old culture emerges from such an experience without much change... I'm not sure that would be acceptable to some countries.

I think a lot of places will go down with the ship so to say, or at least want to. I've no doubt half empty county's will attract attention.
I wanted to share an article I like. It's a bit old now :)

There are many artists whose work was 'objectively' (that is, by consensus) bad until later when it became objectively good.
Sorry what?

I'm pretty sure HN is accessible in Germany.

Are you trying to say there's some utilitarian principle where countries should allow companies from other countries to operate unrestricted?

I'm a fan of free trade! That's a good thing! But tolerance is not a moral precept. We don't have to allow companies that report to hostile foreign governments to operate!

Even among friendly nations, the European governments are fairly opinionated about how US tech companies are allowed to operate in Europe.
You don’t even need to dip into the historical record. The government set back atomic energy research for decades out of fears of that technology being shared among the people of the world. And what do you know, the fossil fuel industry just happened to reap heavy benefit from that decision.
Not only that, the fact is, the tiktok ban has a penalty attached that is about $5000/user, so the risk is approx $85 billion dollars worth of fines.

Let me give a use case where an offline-first hypermedia document model would be useful. I used to work as an instructional designer, making art and photography courses. This sort of material requires a lot of media, practically of all kinds. You either have to know how to code or use some platform to build that kind of thing. In either case, there'll be friction between reconciling the data source and the final document/volume. If you use a managed solution like a platform, you'll be locking away the content on their servers. Exporting the raw data does nothing because it'll lose all structure—that's basically what happens when you try to export from Notion, from instance. Yes, you can export, but it's lossy, because available offline formats, even markdown, cannot express the structure and ergonomics available within the authoring environment. There's a disconnect between source and presentation. You'll be left with a scattered set of files. The other option is not much better: coding it yourself. You'll need a CMS, and your data will be either JSON, MD, XML, or worse, tabular within an SQL database. Then you'll have to develop a build system or make some sort of SPA. And you'll need to setup a webserver and configure it to distribute the content. This is absurdly complex. It makes producing such materials very expensive. You just can't distribute your course offline. You can't back it up easily, either.

Compare that with print media. Want to make a memo? Fire whatever word processor, write it down, export to PDF, share anywhere. Done. If hypermedia was easy like this, do you have any doubt that people would put it to good use? Do you realize how PDF might be overused simply because of the durability, simplicity and fidelity traits it has?

It's not a law of nature that hypermedia should exist only in the context of browsers. Neither that it has to use HTML, CSS and JS.
2015 though is word vectors King – Man + Woman = Queen.

10 years on from that I don't think what we have now is so shocking.

The main problem is this waive of the hand "..and then AGI".

Who knows, maybe we even find AGI is not as useful as what it seems like it would be right now.

It mostly worries me the way "AGI" has taken on this mythic, modern quest for the holy grail/philosophers stone feel.
I did that too. Up to and including declining statins.

Without going into details here, very possibly the worst possible outcome ensued.

Don’t eat a high cholesterol diet. Really. It’s really bad for you, like kill you dead bad for you.

One of the huge advantages of the web is that there is no distinction between static web sites and web application. The backend implementation can change per page based on what is needed.

The remote filesystem needs a server. HTTP is a much better protocol for serving multimedia documents. The remote file system protocols are slow because they are based on RPC and make lots of requests.

It is dangerous to use filesystem for sharing cause have to carefully limit write access. None of the current filesystem protocols do that well.

If you were designing something new, it would probably end up like WebDAV or S3, an object store that can be used like a file system. There is a place for distributed storage, like IPFS but better, but that wouldn't be a file system.

There is a standard for hypermedia documents, HTML. There were attempts to make it more semantic, like XHTML 2.0 or using RDF, and they failed. There were attempt to transform XML, XSL, and that failed.

People send HTML around, they upload it to servers like I did a few days ago. But HTML is usually generated, for me because Markdown is easier to edit and can use templates.
I'm pretty new in this, but a couple months back, I tried some direct AI code execution in Unity. It worked surprisingly well. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xCR4fiyugA

So I definitely think the value proposition of AI coding is higher when you have programmatical control over the workflow.

On a related note, the recent Cline Plan+Act function has also been a game changer.
Weird timing to be praising Elon Musk's propensity to care deeply (for future internet readers, he recently gave a nazi salute during a Donald Trump rally).
This is crazy. Hats off to you. My guess is you'll have recruiters knocking on your door yesterday, trying to grab you before the next one does. Whatever you do, don't let your talents go to waste (corporations can do that), and think about your long term success, not whatever they dangle in front of you for the short term. You're going places.
I agree with Tailwind's stance on this. You really don't need @apply if you're breaking things down to smaller components. I often see people have things like <ul><li className="long_list_of_classes">text1</li><li className="long_list_of_classes">text2</li>...</ul>. This is where I think we need a linter to warn against things like that. Make those <li>'s a component!
This is conflating Tailwind and TailwindUI/shadcn/etc.

For the most part, Tailwind offers no more influence over style than normal CSS (okay, there's some exceptions... things like shadows are a bit more standardized, and indigo has gotten outside influence on color palettes as of late).
Yes, I checked the recent solvers in the MIP space and it seems they're blowing out the existing American solvers. Huawei has invested a lot of money in this area.

But in my opinion this was completely expected, most research in this area is now done in China, American universities have in comparison stopped in time.
Roe v Wade was based on the right to privacy. The Supreme Court ruling that overturned it eliminated our right to privacy. Then they invalidated Roe v Wade as a corollary.

Since the current court eliminated the right to privacy in the US, I doubt they’ll spontaneously decide to restore it.
Renaming utilities like flex-shrink-* makes existing LLMs emit deprecated code today and broken code tomorrow. I wonder what the rationale is behind the renaming of various utilities (e.g. shadow-sm -> shadow-xs, flex-shrink -> shrink, decoration-slice -> box-decoration-slice, ...)

In new projects, I will probably use Tailwind v4 and constantly provide the upgrade guide as context to an LLM. In existing projects, I will continue to use Tailwind v3 until I am certain that it works alongside the tools used by my framework (React Router / Remix).

Why are we suddenly pretending that Trump is an unknown quantity? We know what he's about, and we know what his agenda is. It was literally published to the public with bullet points and everything.
TikTok was shut down because of clueless bureaucrats and political games, not because of any specific threat. If there was a real risk posed by China why are they idly allowing millions of people to migrate to Xiaohongshu, which is even more strongly controlled by China?
Well, people work in the persian gulf despite the issues with that. If there is work to be done in china and an avenue for low skilled laborers to get there, that’s where they will go as simple as that. If you haven’t noticed the change in the wind over the past week, its not exactly looking great to bank on coming to the US looking for work.
