>these do not seem to be the same kinds of "wins"

America to this very day gets to dictate how computing and aviation work. Knots, feet, ASCII and so on are just the obvious signs of that.

>utf8

Case in point, UTF-8 (aka Unicode) has ASCII as its starting point. ASCII can be converted to UTF-8 without data loss easily and perfectly because the first entries in Unicode are literally ASCII mappings. This is the virtue of winning first and getting to write the rules.

>airbus is a serious competitor in international markets.

And yet everyone outside of China and Russia still fly using knots and feet, that includes Airbus.
I use monkeybrains with the same ipv6 problem. One workaround is to run a VPN. Planning to switch but haven't gotten around to it
I am not going to argue whether that's the case, as I never managed to learn CSS enough to be productive in a convenient (for me) way. Despite of trying many times. Whereas tailwindcss "clicked" right away and gave me the awesome superpower to build whole products without having to depend on other people. Before that I hated myself for the horrible, unmaintainable mess that I created, and double hated myself later when I had to revisit the project. Since I am using tailwindcss, I never had bad experience. Of course I still have to spend time wondering how to center some element and why it doesn't work, but that's not what I am complaining about.

It might be just a personal defficiency, but it is how it is (for me).
I've been on HN since the very beginning and the solution has always been simple: if the post is auth/pay-walled then post archive links or copy paste the text in comments.

I get why there's noise about banning X suddenly but lets not pretend it's for sudden technical/UX concerns. No one is calling for NYT, WSJ, or WaPo submissions to be avoided. Twitter had auth gating for many years before Elon.
I don't think he cares anymore. I suspect he wanted it to exist just so people can see his inauguration event in the app. Infact he said as much in his statement.
In an optimal world, what llms provide us is what vast libraries should have already 2 decades ago.

But I guess instead of writing great libraries to avoid repeating ourselves, we drop all code to a lake monster which eats it and spits out answers.
You clearly have a dependency on tailwindcss (if it can break you, you depend on it), and are using npm to fetch it (npx uses npm internally, they are installed together) so you can easily solve your problem by adding a couple json files with some version numbers in them. npx will pick up and use the version from your package.json, so no workflow change other than running `npm install …` once to generate package.json for your preferred semver specifier, and package-lock.json to guarantee your builds use a known-good version from now on.
You raise fair points but I think the guardrails of US democracy are coming off in a way we haven't seen before (such as how Nixon resigned under threat of impeachment but the SCOTUS ruled that the President is mostly sort of a king as long as it is an official act).
To some extent, reading between the lines of many of these comments, I think “pure CSS” designers are feeling threatened by the quality level of Tailwind sites designed by the rest of us.
I think if you've committed to having someone killed to the point that you have pulled the trigger so to speak, you have crossed a line that most humans do not. I sure hope you have not crossed that line before
Best and brightest don’t contribute to raw numbers. Also, even US issues more low-skilled visas than high skilled visas. Number of H-2A/B visas issues per year is like the double of H-1B. Former doesn’t have a pathway to permanent residency though.

Anyways, my point is, when governments become desperate, they will change their laws, needs and wants. It has been done before, and will be done in the future.

I don't blame them. There's a deeply important question as to whether any US president ever has the authority to direct federal agencies to not enforce a law at all. They do have some latitude in directing how enforcement by federal agencies occurs. And they have a lot of latitude when it comes the enforcement of presidential directives or agency policies. But a law duly debated and passed by a large majority of congress, signed by the president and already evaluated and allowed to stand by a unanimous Supreme Court? Well, that's uncharted territory.

It's a question I find fascinating for several reasons. First, recent presidents of both parties have all danced near, around and over this line to some extent (so we need to address it). Second, there's little constitutional guidance on the question and existing policy and precedent are sparse and inconsistent. Third, I'm not sure what the proper mechanism might be for resolving the question - or if there even is one. Fourth, I'm not entirely sure what I think the answer should be. And all that makes this super interesting.

To be clear, I'm ONLY interested in this question from a long-term, system-design perspective. It doesn't matter who the current president is or what the specific law regards. Any useful answer needs to work just as well if it's Biden ordering non-enforcement of certain immigration laws or Trump ordering non-enforcement of a TikTok ban. So please set aside the current context and any partisan preferences and consider it purely as a constitutional issue about rule of law.

In terms of what the rule should be when some president 20 years from now orders an agency to not enforce some law, I can see it both ways. I think presidents should have some discretion in how the agencies they manage enforce laws. It just seems pragmatic to have some latitude in how enforcement is implemented because situations can vary. But should that latitude extend to just ignoring the law? How about delaying enforcement for three days because there's a hurricane or something? Okay, sure. What about delaying it months? And then renewing the delay? It's pretty easy to imagine that going wrong someday. So, how do we codify a rule that balances these conflicting things?

Finally, who's responsible for coming up with a clear set of rules? I think most people would assume it's the Supreme Court's job to figure it out. The problem is that SCOTUS has rules about what they can consider and when. Someone needs to have standing to sue POTUS and grounds to sue on. I'm not sure that POTUS NOT enforcing a law violates any existing law. But I'm not a constitutional scholar. I just don't know and that's why I think Apple or Google would be pretty crazy to put TikTok back in their app stores relying on this non-enforcement order as safe harbor.

> college education is now seen as some upper-class bauble

We’re well into the pendulum swinging back. The vanguard were the dropout wunderkids. Now it’s salt-of-the-earth tradesmen and the like.
That's how it feels to me as well. It's just a matter of cyclic evolution.

We can specialize hardware at the chiplet level and at some point, I expect more players and more standards out there that "synchronization" and "compatibilty" would become a bottleneck/burden.

We will go back to monoliths eventually again is my guess.

Yes the GP said “bandwidth” when they perhaps meant “latency” but the gist and spirit of their post was good. The cpu has a lot of spare cycles, particularly if it can be arranged to be without dependency so it can be crunched instead of stalling?
just like googling was a skill back in the day, coding with AI is a skill. you should figure out how to see someone use it properly to learn.
> I feel like we aren't allowed to be honest anymore that LLMs aren't going to replace programmers or moderate our expectations.

I haven't heard anyone in tech say programmers will be replaced by this tech.

I have heard persons outside of tech say it, but I think they lack sufficient context.

I mean, if we get AGI, yes, we might be fully out of a job. But, so far I think many programmers agree this seems to be a ways off.

But, I think you underestimate how many programmers used to copy paste code from StackOverflow and articles, etc.

We even had/have a phrase for that: "copy pasta".

Those programmers are getting more applicable templated code than they used to get via copy paste.

When I'm coding in my preferred languages, I am faster without AI.

But, when I'm writing yaml or something else for an unfamiliar tool or platform, I do get a productivity boost, even if I have to debug the code / configuration.
My initial reaction to Tailwind was: what a pain. I already know CSS, now I have to learn CSS again...

I imagine its how parents might feel when they go to help their children with math homework only to find the math is now totally different from when they were in school and their methods (while still valid) for solving problems are no longer accepted by the school and their child is annoyed by having to reconcile the two systems...

I get the, tailwind works well in a team and scales nicely and you just have to use it, mentality. I've experienced it.

I still prefer a plain style sheets that targets elements by a class or tag (especially since CSS supports nested selectors!).

There is an issue in managing stylesheets, and for that I really like how Remix/React Router manages CSS where CSS flies are defined and applied at the route level. Where that isn't enough or dynamic styles are too complex for a .css file:

style={{...}}

is always available.

CSS is so powerful, flexible, and extensible, tailwind feels like a limitation rather than an enhancement. I don't understand the continued appeal, but clearly many others do. I'm not sure why, but I am confident we'll all have moved on to something else in another 3 or 4 years too.
I am not a security person, and when I tried to report an vulnerability in the authentication signing in the QuickBooks Ruby gem, the process caused me to end up just saying nothing. Intuit pushed me to H1, and I did not feel comfortable with the H1 process, or that I had an advocate for a legal process that I was unfamiliar with.
In terms of economics and utility, the last 80% of effort produces 20% of the result. But the last 80% give us something much more that isn’t quantified: The feeling of having completed something of value, and having done it properly, carries an inherent value that surpasses the last 20% output. It is unquantifiable and priceless. This is when work or products become timeless and truly valuable. Not to mention that feeling of satisfaction and completeness of taking an accomplishment to that level.
> fun part is when OpenAI asks for more regulation on AI, congress will be receptive

OpenAI is the Jeb Bush of D.C. They’re spending a lot of money, but it ain’t going far. Last time Altman asked for regulation he had to “jk” backwards when Europe and California proposed actual rules.
yep, an engineer has the power to directly influence the code. This is a strong power.
Sometimes just making a PR is enough and a good convincer in and of itself.

Use sparingly of course, weigh in time for making the argument, but this is an artifact just as a convincing research, text or a plot. code can be part of the argument.
England has the same weak implementation of democracy with the same flaws. You'll want to move a country that indirectly chooses the government and president.
FFS we don't have local dependencies. Which means we don't have any local node_modules and have never ran npm install (there are no dependencies to install!). There is no lock file or dependencies.

Our Apps don't have any npm dependencies nor needs to run npm install by design, we're not going to start now, as already stated we're switching to `tailwindcss@v3` instead.

The point is this was a documented supported use-case which all our non node.js Apps used, which have now broken as a result of this release.
I'm a designer, so I absolutely think in terms of design systems where typography is just one part of the puzzle. There are, of course, many ways to set type — but the point was: no Tailwind engineer talks about typographic scales in the first place. Systematic thinking is absent, which is naturally built in CSS.

> Silk Road didn't actually facilitate any selling/buying of weapons or any items "whose purpose was to "harm or defraud"

There was definitely a fake ID tab on it. Isn't fraud one of the main purposes of having a fake ID?

Guns were definitely for sale on Silk Road. Ulbricht stopped selling them because it wasn't lucrative enough.

I can't find the original post, but this post quotes his comments at the time when he closed the gun forum:

The war against DEI is clearly over so not that it matters anymore but I have to push back every time I see this sort of comment. DEI, as it relates to hiring, does not and has never meant that people are hired because of their sex or skin color. What it means in practice is that organizations cast a wider net in the search for, and I can't stress this enough, qualified applicants. This wider net has proven to bring forth better candidates to organizations. Also, casting a wider net opens the door for people who are white/asian but come from less traditional backgrounds and/or less prestigious schools to apply as well. Please read up on what DEI truly is before applauding its demise. As scientist, engineers, programmers, and technologists (I assume you are one of those if you are in this forum) we can't blindly believe the propaganda of either side of the political spectrum. In this case, a coordinated effort has deliberately mischaracterized DEI and merit-based hiring as opposites. They are not opposites.

Do you need bidirectional streams? If so, you should write a bespoke protocol, on top of UDP, TCP or websockets.

Yep. The problem is the system of elections itself. Biden and Obama also issued a lot of dubious pardons and commutations. The incentives of elections naturally favor short-termism and populism. Instead of having the people vote on candidates, we should randomly select citizens to an elector jury, which would carefully research and deliberate on the candidates before choosing.

It is meant to be a synthesizing experience for advanced students in computer science: a way for them to see the field as a whole, not through a survey, but by reliving the experience of its creation. The idea is to create a unified view of the field of computer science, for students who already know something about it, by replaying its entire evolution at an accelerated frame rate.
I was at some of those meetings, though unlikely to be the exact same ones :)

At the meetings I attended the furious debate was whether we allowed a volunteer group cook food in our kitchen to feed homeless people.
The interesting thing about this debate was that to make a decision, you had to have a position on what the coop was,
Was it cheap housing for students, or was the cheap housing something that emerged from committing to a practice of cooperative behaviour?

Supporting the volunteers cooking in our kitchen came at a cost, many volunteers were homeless, some had mental health issues.
I felt it was morally right to let them use our kitchen,
And I know that for this I did get labeled by some as pursuing chaos as performative social justice points and to upset opponents,
But from my perspective I sincerely believe it was the right thing to do.

When parallels like this are revealed, it really makes me wonder how the orange cult people and I ended up on such different paths, both as a response to dissatisfaction with the status quo, why have the stories they’ve been told resonated with them when they seem so inauthentic to me, and why is the more progressive ideology that seems reasonable to me so distasteful to them

Agreed. The newest versions of .NET are now chef’s kiss and so damn fast.
Yes - it's pretty opaque to trace through, but you can see in `valid` that for a given move history, a "good" test is performed on each instruction in the assembly listing - a full pass. This is invoked, asymptotically at least, once per jump per level of the search tree explored in `bigotimes`. Each level 'i' of the search tree has a history of `i` jumps decided to be short or near and branches 'n-i' times; both of those average out to n/2, so the tree searches n^2 nodes with each node doing 'n' iterations over the list of instructions to check all jumps are valid, so the total running time is O(n^3).

(With some modifications to the code as shown, anyway: `lookup` is linear but used in such a way it can be replaced with a constant vector index, instruction lists can be compressed to just jumps & labels with byte counts following, avoiding the duplicate invocations of `p` in `arginf`, etc).

I'd be dubious that there's an algorithm to find the true minimum in less than cubic time, but there's plenty of "good enough" approaches: most branches will be definitely short or definitely not; jumps backwards can be resolved when encountered; jumps forward can be written long and replaced with a short jump plus no-op padding when the target is encountered within short jump distance.
> Your domain is weird/rare, so LLMs are terrible because their training data is very limited.

And this is how knowledge collapse [1] shows its' head.

I am not a big fan of LLMs so I try them once in a while, asking to "implement blocked clause decomposition in Haskell." They can recite a paper (and several other papers, with references) almost verbatim, but they do not posess enough comprehension of what is going on in these papers. As time passes by, with each new LLM, the level of comprehension drops. Last time LLM tried to persuade me to write code instead of providing me with code.

“[The Famine] is a punishment from God for an idle, ungrateful, and rebellious country; an indolent and un-self-reliant people. The Irish are suffering from an affliction of God’s providence.”

“The judgment of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson. That calamity must not be too much mitigated. The greater evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the Irish people.”

~ Sir Charles Trevelyan, 1st Baronet, Assistant Secretary to Her Majesty’s Treasury, 1847 (Knighted, 1848, for overseeing famine relief)

My point isn’t adversarial, we most likely (in my most humble opinion) “learn” the same way as anything learns. That is to say, we are not unique in terms of understanding, “understandings”.

Are the ballistics we learn by physical interaction any different from the factual learning of ballistics that, for example, a squirrel learns, from their physical interactions?
