Congrats on the launch!

Minor nitpicks:

Dark grey text on black background (navigational menu items, testimonials) is not readable.

Section 5 of your Terms and Conditions are, in part, utter nonsense. It says there that as a user of the service, I have to display cookie banners (how? where?) and other duties that make no sense whatsoever. Are you sure that this is what you wanted to say?
> Imagine it becomes truly trivial to copy cat another product — something as simple as, “hey AI, build me an app that does what productxyz.com does, and host it at productabc.com!” In the past, a new product might have taken a few months to copy, and enjoyed a bit of time to build its lead. But soon, perhaps it will be fast-followed nearly instantly. How will products hold onto their users?

It's actually not that easy to copy/paste AI agents, prompts take quite a lot of tweaking and it's a rather slow and manual process because it's not that easy to verify that they're working for all the possible inputs.
This gets even more complicated when you get a number of agents in the same application and they need to interact with each other.
No, not really. Some do, some don't. There are valid criticisms to dislike them. I'm on the side that thinks they are bad.
>He has revealed that literal millions and billions of our tax dollars (or loans, to make it even worse) are being wasted on questionable ventures at best.

I would like a source please. With actual figures, not just "Trust me I'm elon Musk". All I saw were him complaining about charges that are microscopic for preparing that corporate tax break. he's penny pinching while Trump wants to basically give up to 3% of the budget spending to billionaires. A similar percentage of the entire Department of Education btw.

>Everyone benefits from a leaner and cleaner budget and a smaller and more efficient government.

my lifetime alone (let alone the ages of reagan) have shown that trickle down evonomics does not work. None of that "efficiency" is coming to you and me (well, maybe you. I don't know your income level. I'm well compensated but not close to an elite. Not even by HN standards).
I would assume their thought is, that it limits their creative spirit and in general is too technical. But they start (as 2 people teams) on figma a complete own design lib with a lot of variables and custom components which look the same like any other lib.
This quote is made up I think (e.g
https://www.bartleby.com/lit-hub/respectfully-quoted/socrate...)

Even if it wasn't made up it, it would not be all that relevant IMO because it would not have to mean that "adults have always complained about youth but they always turn out fine", it could also mean "the quality of a society goes up and down over the centuries, in cycles, and both we and Plato/Socrates are/were on a downturn when things started going worse".
Java's DTOs maybe?
Have you somehow forgotten that physical newspapers cost money? They weren't funded solely by advertising.
Gemini is capable of video - you can point your phone camera and talk about something you show Gemini in real world. My ChatGPT app can do just audio conversation.
In my experience, a lot of developers have a very limited grasp of what the browser can do for you without React. If all you know is React, everything looks like a single-page application.
and I'm curious on the technical details for why it matters for you.

if it's, say, a chrome extension someone whipped up that makes it a button click to generate, or a script someone handcrafted, or somone had an LLM generate, or a fully automated bot doing it off a Cron job, or a billionaire is paying a human in the Philippines to do it by hand, some SV startup millionaire is bored with life and spends too much time here, a college student that has some free time between classes... the end result is a relatively simple post linking back to previous threads.

in what manner does having a human in the loop for that specific post affect your broader feelings about this site?
I don't mean "hacked" as in some malicious individual planned to mislead you. I mean we've screwed up our brain's information processing with the constant flow of urgency (for eyeballs). We're basically unable to pay attention to anything that isn't immediate. The bias you mention in compounded by others biases as the information is shared with each individual's bias. I also suspect that there can be bad actors in the chain, who intentionally mislead, often for pretty banal reasons (protecting their own perceptions).

I recently read about how Trump is "crashing" the stock market, and I was like oh crap, but when I checked it was only down a few points. Not only will I now ignore this source, but it's also probably nudged my overall distrust a little bit. Possibly the person writing the article figured it was important enough to warrant notice (it is) but realized no one would pay attention if it didn't sound urgent, so they gussied it up a lot... Imagine how much more dire it was after it got shared a few more times. If I got my news from Facebook then I might have thought democracy had collapsed and roving bands of gun toting anarchists had taken over.
Unlike humans, LLMs seem to deal surprisingly well with typos.

Freed from the "the other human must not be up to my exquisite eloquency " and given that it's a machine that I'm talking to (20 years of "the compiler is never wrong") -- I've learned more about my communication inadequacies through talking with LLMs in the past 2 years than 40 years of talking to humans.
Things like Tailwind take the core concepts of bootstrap and build and improve on it on a grand scale. It is like comparing jQuery (bootstrap), to React (tailwind).
Built a Chrome Extension to Clone and Edit Websites in One Click

> Musk has a track record of executing well at preposterous speed

He has been promising Tesla full auto-pilot every year for about 9 years. Just around the corner he said. I even shelled out $10K for it on top of the price of my car, 6 years ago. He said the car would pick up the owner from the airport. That was about 5 years ago.

Musk says a lot and promises a lot. A lot of it never materializes. And he seems be going insane at a rapid pace as of late. I have been wondering if the ketamine that he says he has been taking is really turning his brain into mush.

> The team looked for a fermenting agent that could remain reactive in substances with a temperature of up to 37 degrees Celsius* and alcohol of the recommended 16 per cent per volume.

Everyone who doesn’t live near a hub. I use to fly out of ATL where I only did a layover for a domestic flight once in my life to Santa Barbara and even that is a direct flight now.

I now fly out of MCO where my choices are a layover or maybe flying Southwest. I don’t hate myself enough to deal with that “We are Sparta” boarding process.

Besides, I’m platinum Medallion on Delta…
What spy movie is this from?

Considering PG&E delaying and ignoring maintenance was 100% the cause of the 2018 Paradise fire that burned down an entire town of 30,000 people, it would be foolish to not investigate
> And if you need a "FinOps" team to manage your cloud cost, I would argue that there's something wrong with your whole damn paradigm.

FinOps isn't a dedicated job but something a cloud engineer can do as part of its job. In the same way that DevOps doesn't need to be a dedicated function itself.

And as for the cloud... Yes that turned out to be a whole lot expensive for companies than predicted - and you share compute with anyone so that dualcore CPU isn't always that fast. But cloud is also flexible and that is where FinOps comes in.
Surprising to hear this, life time and borrow checker have to be one of those in-spite of people still like rust
OK, so everyone gets UBI check today. Let’s say 10% of that check will be spent on sales tax. Where the next month check is coming from?
A lot of people now don't know how terminals work or even that terminfo exists.

Unfortunately due to the progression of technology and education, a lot of foundational knowledge is not being learned. Terminals are probably one of the biggest losers in this area. Even many technically knowledgeable people only know of terminals as "that box that pops up where you can type commands". They cargo cult/copy-paste the common escape sequences. Most things work "good enough" now that they never have any reason to learn more.
I know all of that. I was talking about RDNA2, which is AMD. There, instructions come in two flavours:

1. Scalar - run once per thread group, only acting on shared memory. So these won't be SIMD.

2. Vector - run across all threads, each threads accesses its own copy of the variables. This is what you typically think of GPU instructions doing.
If these are going to be separate jurisdictions it's probably not as naive as it sounds.
I think the difference is in the kind of positions the "second chance" people get hired to. They aren't put in positions where they could cause significant wide scale harm with no auditing or barriers.

The debate isn't whether he should go to jail. The debate is whether he should get a clearance for some of the most powerful access someone can possibly get. He's not suitable. Why can't Musk replace him? He's just a kid.
Verona is a research language: https://github.com/microsoft/verona/blob/master/docs/faq.md
I feel like the late 90's hacker ethos was completely different than what the kids coming up now a days are bent to. Sure there was always the element of illegality, digital trespass, pirating, etc., but now the focus seems to be much more squarely on things like swatting, DDOSing, and scamming.
Two companies just setup the self-hosted version too. I do not have any case studies unfortunately.
However, the README file guides you through the self-hosting process.
I have a very good grasp on jQuery and a good grasp on SPA frameworks, and as soon as you cross that barrier into a complex application, jQuery is completely unsuitable in maintaining a clean state.
Well, I suppose it depends on what your definition of "is" is. Mine typically exhibits the transitive property ;P
Well I remember a certain freakout from the other side about Hilarys email server... This seems like a far greater security violation
Overall this is very good, but I have one specific note: Lesson 6 says "LLMs aren't conscious."

I think I get what you're saying there - they are not conscious in the same way that humans are - but "consciousness" is a highly-debated term without a precise definition, and correspondingly philosophers have no consensus on whether machines in general are capable of it. Here is one of my favorite resources on that, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's page on the Chinese Room Argument:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/chinese-room/

Things that appear conscious, or that appear to understand a language, are very hard to distinguish from things that actually are those respective things.

Again, I think I get the intended point - some people interact with ChatGPT and "feel" there is another person on the other side, someone that experiences the world like them. There isn't. That is good to point out. But that doesn't mean machines in general and LLMs specifically can't be conscious in some other manner, just like insects aren't conscious like us, but might be in their own way.

Overall I think the general claim "LLMs aren't conscious" is debatable on a philosophical level, so I'd suggest either defining things more concretely or leaving it out.
I was chatting about a related topic with my wife today. The premise was that there are many technology related blogs and not enough blogs about obscure topics (e.g., chocolate, woodworking). People interested in those obscure topics struggle to find genuine information because very few people are writing about them, much less making any content about them.

I think most of us in the technology field tend to forget just how many resources are out there for technical topics and often see blogging as a waste of time or a "whisper in the hurricane" when we should be encouraging people to keep writing about technical topics and more.
Neural Networks aren't the best solution for every task contrary to popular belief. For Bach in particular I'm sure lots of pre-NN work is much better.
Yep these are the only ones I’ve found essentially! I don’t find Kara swisher to be very intellectually interesting but Scott certainly is. What he needs, for his platform to really blow up IMO, is to host a show with a panel that argues like All-In, but again, on a more moderate or left-ish political al axis.
This is Chesterton's Fence.

The problem with any terminal replacement is that you have to support all existing terminal applications. If you don't, then your replacement is going to be useless for half a century until everything gets re-implemented and installed everywhere (and this is assuming you can get buy-in from everyone on this speculative 50 year investment). If you do, then congratulations, you have all of the legacy terminal baggage.
There's a lot of Tiktok accounts for woodworking, but, yeah, unsure how persistent or informative those may be.
That comment was great. It's so hard for me (raised on Windows and now immersed in Linux) to imagine something so foreign to the OS paradigms I'm used to. It just goes to show how much the things you are used to can limit your thinking.
Someone saying "they feel" something is not a confident remark.

Also, there's plenty of neuroscience that is produced by very serious researchers that have no problems making comparisons between human brain function and statistical models.

if you're that popular, there should be some history in archive.org or archive.is
Why does it have to be only his skill and not a quality of the people he entrances?
You can already do this, in Emacs and possibly other terminals. It is pretty easy to implement. The problem is that this can also cause other problems, especially for newbies, because editing the text may not do what you think it will do (e.g., editing the output of ls or editing a command after you started running it).
IMO, it breaks down into 3 main reasons.

1. The ability to be able to link to an in-depth explanation, rather than having to remake the points is convenient.

2. Documenting non-proprietary insights and learnings from commercial work with limited source access.

3. Explaining things is hard, so writing it down and reading it a few days later lets you see it from a different perspective so you can rewrite it more clearly. Hopefully, get better at writing in general over time as well.

I've had a number of topics I've been meaning to document for years, but haven't taken the time. Finished the first one just this weekend though at https://roosimaa.ee

Number one learning so far is writing takes a surprising amount of time.
Here's how I think I make sure it doesn't truncate:

shopt -s histappend
shopt -s cmdhist
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
export HISTFILESIZE=-1
export HISTFILE=~/.bash_eternal_history
export HISTSIZE=-1
export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "
export HISTIGNORE="history:ls:l:ll:pwd:exit:clear"

It's almost a megabyte now... By when did it start to truncate for you?
Sounds like a James Bond villain's plot. They just need to be able to focus the beam enough to start fires.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Do you think Object Pascal is as good as Rust?
well, I totally agree with you, and I strongly support:

1. All top American universities must stop accepting Chinese students and researchers.

2. Intelligence agencies should conduct thorough investigations on all chinese scientists in the US

(I'm not being sarcastic)
Not quite - the still reachable objects can be evacuated concurrently, and then the whole buffer is reset with literally zero work (just setting the pointer to the buffer's start).
From the engines you mentioned (Godot,Unreal,Unity) the game engine itself offers the full SDK suite you need to develop games and it they are tightly integrated with the engine.

I'm most familiar with Unity so I'll speak on that. Unity itself offers the editor (can be configured), debugger, asset manager and visualizer all in the main client. Some people have built external tools on top of Unity for things like no-code game building but the vast majority of developers directly use Unity.

I think Godot is probably the most unique of the ones you listed in that it seems like the one you might can mix and match different tools together but I'm overall much less familiar with it.
If people are scared to speak out anonymous reporting is all you'll get

WinRAR Merchandise: Senior Varsity Jacket
Well chatgpt & friends will definitely read it.
They call themselves "the com"
No they don't. Most programs are full of dynamic allocations (String, Vec, etc.) with only rare use of RefCell (I assume that's what you're talking about).
LLMs are so far removed mechanically from brains the idea they reason is not even remotely worth considering.

Jet planes are so far removed mechanically from a bird that the idea they fly is not even remotely worth considering.
But then you're just nitpicking on which conference to go to. Places I've worked had a broad education budget that let the employee choose which conference they'd prefer to attend.
Have you tried using Ai to write your prompts? It is quite efficient.

Besides that, you quote "imagine it becomes...", it is a fair to assume that these technologies will become better.
Ask HN: Are real world software engineering/design docs available for study
Are there any real world software engineering/design/requirements documents available. Most text books on the topic make use of fictional/toy documents which are not very helpful in converting which details are important to include and which are not.

More over good exemplary documents are valuable guides in how to go about creating such documents.

Certainly good documents have been produced in the last 50-60 years. Are they all lost to history?
I'm not sure if it is your issue or not, but when I searched for "red planet" your index entry says it's the Robert A. Heinlein novel, but the link to Librivox goes to the page for the William John Locke book.
Finding a Charles Fort quote here is definitely worth an upvote, and yes, pithy way of saying it, as usual from Fort.
This seems to be an actual case of the begging the question fallacy.

Why someone writes a blog is very personal. If, and only if, you are writing a blog for lots of people to read it, then you do need to ask yourself if lots of people are reading your blog, and if not, what you're going to do about it.

There are lots of reasons why someone might keep a blog (as many posters here demonstrate), the simplest being "because they want to".
Personal sites are dead because the Internet search is broken.

I personal sites could easily be found, and filtered, or sorted to provide interesting ones, then Personal sites would be booming.

That is why I created my own domains list: https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

It contains links with properties in JSON. I can find personal things using "personal" tags. I can filter them using numerical "page_rating_votes".
Kellton's digital transformation services encompass several key areas

Yes and no.

They extract information in much the same way that an educated but naive reader can extract information from a book. (Thousands of times quicker of course).

But there's a lot more than that going on, both when a book is written, and when it's read by a reader with life experience. A book is an encoding and transmission medium for knowledge - and a very good one - but it isn't the knowledge itself.

Like a musical score for an orchestral symphony isn't the symphony itself. (Granted, reading a score and synthesizing an orchestra is well within the grasp of the models we have now).

Poetry is perhaps the ultimate expression of this, but even at a more factual level - I could read a dozen books on a given religion, and although I might possess more in terms of historical fact or even theological argument, I'd still know less about it than somebody who was raised in that religion. Same with any profession, hobby, or craft.

Encoding the relationships between the words we use for different emotions in a vector space doesn't mean it knows the least thing about those emotions. Even though it can do an excellent job of convincing us that it does in a Turing test scenario.
You get a new phone number every month? This is peak HN lol.
I was chuckling a bit at your 'just worse' comment. I do not know whether you have had any actual experience with it, but just to add a few anecdotes:

- I ordered starlink for testing even though I have Telekom DSL in a small town. Did not even install it the first day (as I had to put it up on a pole), then Telekom failed for me and lots of my neighbors. No phone, nothing. The next day I installed starlink and had Internet again at 200Mbs (faster than my DSL, albeit more expensive at first, they have since reduced price to parity).

It took 7 days for Deutsche Telekom to fix the issue. And that repeated every once in a while. I have since setup a failover with PRIMARY usage via Starlink.

- A customer of ours has Telekom and Vodafone Cable. The entire VOIP runs over Telekom , but is so slow as to be unusable (Rather big city in Germany) for that many people. They got cable as a secondary web surfing link. Number of failures over the year 2022-2023 was not funny, we had a LOT of calls to make to get this back up.

- Another customer, still big city but on the outskirts in the industrial area does not even get any good DSL at any sensible cost. He installed Starlink with us and its his primary connection for years now. Including daily and hour-long video calls.

- A school I know has had a huge number of issues with their fiber internet connection often resulting in very intermittent internet which disrupts classes etc.

So to say its always better is just not true and having some alternatives definitely dont hurt.
I built UI ClonePro because I was tired of wasting hours recreating website layouts from scratch. Now, with one click, I get the full HTML & CSS, ready to tweak. If you’ve ever struggled with front-end work, what’s your biggest pain point? Let’s discuss!
A reason for that is the more and more hostile attitude towards Chinese working in the US and contributing to the US economy. The unfavorable birth place cap for EB1/EB2 green cards means even for the most elite Chinese students in the US need to deal with this toxic attitude for up to 7 years before they can finally wash out the suspection (or they can't?). Leaving US is the only option if they can't tolerate this.
