Show HN: I built a serverless file transfer web app that embeds files in URLs
This was mostly built as an academic exercise to show that a file can be transported via a URL. It's really only useful for sharing small files.
They are pretty advanced and pretty esoteric. They will be very difficult to get into without a solid graduate background in some of this stuff, or unless you're willing to roll up your sleeves and do some serious learning. The book "Applied Stochastic Analysis" by Weinan E, Tiejun Li, and Eric Vanden-Eijnden is probably a decent place to start. I took a look at this book a while ago, and it's probably decent enough to get a foothold on the literature in order to figure out if this stuff will be useful for you. These guys are all monsters in the field.
You can still get dragged to court for it[1], even if you may (eventually) win, lawyers are expensive.

I mention in another comment here that I have a Freewrite Alpha. It has a couple of issues that keep it from being my perfect device, but it's darn close. I genuinely love taking it out and cranking line after line of rough draft with it. Its deliberately pared-down UI removes the temptation to even try bothering to edit the words. That comes in a later step after it's synced to my laptop or its cloud service. But for raw capturing of my messy, unorganized ideas as fast as I can type them, it's brilliant.

I can sit down and comfortably type out several pages of content with it. If I tried writing that much by hand, I'd be nearly in tears of hand-cramping pain by the end. So the Alpha, and this device, and the BYOK device I mention aren't for everyone, and I wouldn't use them for everything, but they surely have their niche.
Nice !

I walked away from tech and bought a farm. So:

I've built a large solar array on a repurposed mobile home chassis and have been digging a trench through rocky ground to lay the conduit for the cabling to backhaul the DC power to the shed where the inverter and battery bank will live. It's the rainy season in Ireland, and that field was marginal at best, so it's been swampy work and half of the digging is trenching additional drainage channels so the conduit doesn't flood and path water back into the shed.
There's a housing order due to a bird flu scare, so I'm not running poultry on pasture until it's lifted (or until I can get the government to agree that my pasturing system qualifies as housing).
Annoying, but that's farm life.

Oh, I'm doing some shit with AI also, but that's a secret :)
In a way this is also a renewal of an older pre-LLM tension, a disturbance in the informal equilibrium between summarizing (and pointing-to) someone else's page versus supplanting it.

On one hand, the publisher has an interest in ensuring any summaries that appear don't ruin the purpose of getting visitors, and on the other hand the search engine has an interest in ensuring some floor of accuracy.

If you told me that I absolutely had to use an LLM somewhere in there... I'd probably display summaries provided by the page (e.g. meta tags) and then score or badge the result based on whether the LLM's description of the contents was similar.

Oh good timing, I've been writing poetry for the first time ever for the past week. Not about to share it anywhere.

But, they both look like mostly honest perspectives from particular types of people.

I see the first one and think of all the out of touch HS teachers I had who were so convinced their class was important and they were going to teach me an important life lesson and save me from underachieving by being hard on me in some way (usually being super strict on deadlines, or the guy who let me turn in my test with the back side not complete and didn't tell me or let me retry for partial credit - both my fault, but they taught me nothing). They had no concern for the fact I was just trying to get through the day. They just saw someone with potential who needed to learn from their mistakes by being held accountable. But I had missed deadlines in every class I ever took since middle school, if I could have just taught myself executive functioning and how to have a stable home life, I would have.

The second reminds me of a lot of some of my friends. They are anxious wrecks, obsessesing over the news constantly, meanwhile compulsively using social media to make calls for action and bring important things that they can't really actually impact to light. All the while, their personal life and mental health is a wreck, which they also loudly proclaim on social media.

So I think both poems were great insights into those perspectives. It's just that those perspectives are not exactly interesting and are sometimes a bit annoying.
Okay, if we're being pedantic, then anybody notice 3.7 (not 3.7 thinking) is slower to respond and slower to make code changes than 3.5 was?

Considering his current position of influence, no.
I love Clojure. I has influenced me more than any other language. It is without question the single most coherently designed programming language I know. I've written a fair amount of it, contributed to libraries, some of them core, so I hope folks don't interpret this as drive-by criticism.

The biggest problem I had (and still have) with Clojure is that, even in its heyday (circa 2014-2018 or so) I couldn't convince people to keep using it. It seemed like every smart, senior engineer I knew tried it, loved it, wrote load-bearing stuff in it, and then walked away: either abandoned it at their companies, abandoned it for personal projects, or started companies using other languages instead of Clojure. And this was when Clojure was hot shit. Big Data was all the rage, and everyone had heard of or was using Storm. Clojure was the language.

You might counter that maybe me or the people I know are fools, not smart enough for Clojure, or picked stupid languages for the wrong reasons, or followed the crowd, or whatever else. And you might be right!

But all I know is that the smartest people I know tried Clojure, learned it, respected it, learned a ton from Rich about how to think about systems, and ultimately walked away, because they were, variously, repelled by what they perceived as:

- the elitism in the community
- the elitism in the core team
- the impenetrability of the tooling and the unwillingness of anyone to admit that it sucked
- the sometimes not so subtle denigration of their skills as professionals for having the audacity to, for example, use web frameworks rather than build everything from scratch

I bring this up because for me programming is social. I love being able to write code that does something fun and/or useful and tickles that part of my brain that loves expressing what I want in a beautiful way, but ultimately it's more useful to be to be able to write code that my friends and colleagues can understand and are willing to use.

So I have to wonder, is it sustainable for a community to be as reliant on true believers as Clojure seems to be? Is it sustainable to alienate as many of those folks who maybe aren't true believers, but who would love using it anyway? Who knows, maybe it is! But I can tell you: I'm Clojure's audience, and I don't use Clojure today, and none of my now-Staff and Principal and CTO level friends are using it or teaching it to the juniors on their teams or choosing it for their companies. Why? Wouldn't it be better if we were?

False.

I've heard that some med students use grapes to practice stitches, and that is how I feel about grapes.

Grapes are obviously not meant to be eaten by humans, and must serve some other, probably squeamishness-inducing, purpose.

I don't know, I've lived here for a long time and I've been wondering this too. It's like the entire country has been brainwashed long time ago to call these blobs of minced meat that get shaved into skin-like strips kebab - every chippy in the country is guilty of this monstrosity. I'm glad some companies are now starting to appear that make a dent in this, I am forever thankful for a branch of GDK that opened in my city because that's literally the only place that doesn't serve this carboard imitation of a kebab, but yeah I don't get it. People just say "mate it's mint after a night out" - yeah, and so is the real thing???

The empty space in older cars is definitely a big contributer to how much simpler it was to work on them. Plenty of project cars I owned or worked on that had more than enough room in the engine bay to actually STAND inside between the frame and engine with the engine / wiring / hoses still present and both feet planted on the ground.

Much less daunting and convenient to work on an engine or replace a part when you don't have to take off (and potentially break) a million other parts to get at what you want to replace and you actually have the room to see what you're doing instead of blindly groping around for something vaguely shaped like something you've only seen a picture of.

That and the absolute sheer amount of electronics in modern cars. Older cars had the absolute bear minimal amount of wiring to the point that it was entirely plausible to more or less keep the wiring schematic in your head and even (speaking from experience) redo the entire wiring harness front to back on your own with a few different colored rolls of wire from a hardware store yourself.

I can't imagine how people getting into the hobby now with newer cars feel looking at the unholy mess of endless amounts of wiring, sensors, mechanical parts all jammed together in tightly packed space efficient layouts probably designed by someone purely working on them in a digital space. On the bright side at least they have youtube and better resources on the Internet to look up how to actually do something though.
Jokes on them, they've already placed big tarrifs on us.

“Religion is the opium of the masses.” - Karl Marx

“Religion is the soul of soulless conditions.” - Karl Marx

“Communism begins where atheism begins.” - Karl Marx

But seriously, there’s a whole Wikipedia article on the origins.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxist%E2%80%93Leninist_ath...

The early communists did not hide this connection. Guess what one of the first agencies in the new USSR was called? The League of Militant Atheists. Ironically, the league was responsible for more deaths by itself than the Inquisition.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Militant_Atheists

As for why atheism often leads to communism, the reason is fairly simple. Atheists like to pretend that they are only responsible for one tenant of belief: “I don’t believe in a God.”

This is not actually true. Imagine if a country puts in a law banning adultery, with heavy fines for doing so. The atheist would likely be angry, even if everyone else in the country agreed with the law. Why should they? There’s no God saying that’s wrong; it’s just a personal opinion like preferring a red car over a blue car. It turns out there’s actually a second tenant:

“Any law or penalty or qualm of conscience, imposed solely by religion, without a justifiable ground outside of religion, shall be considered an unjust oppression, which must be destroyed.”

An oppression, not live and let live, not merely an inconvenience, even if the majority is fine with it. That’s where violence begins, and the preference for an inherently Godless (and inherently anti-religious) society originates.

The two then are as impossible to reconcile as oil and water; one must be comfortably under the thumb of the other if any tolerance is to be had. If one ever loses the upper hand, or the two become an equilibrium, violence will immediately start - an Inquisition on one hand, a League of Militant Atheists on the other.

That's not skew. That accurately reflects "non-native" clients, who are people too.

You do realize that America has the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants per capita? Way to stereotype

Are you also going to criticize Japan for not making American BBQ like "what it should"?

You're showing yourself to be extremely prejudiced against all sorts of other nationalities, and against the creative outcomes when nationalities mix. But people have different tastes from whatever you think is "right", and that's OK.

Ask HN: Do you have "confidence"? In spite of your issues, how can you have it?
I’m not a confident person. I never have been, I’m 30 now and have just suffered some major setbacks lately: partner left me, took the dog, lost my job, diagnosed with ADHD, diagnosed with arthritis, got skinny-fat, realised my parents abused me growing up … etc

But I always challenge myself harder when I have setbacks, so I have grit: I got a new better job in a new role, I started back at gym and hitting it hard, started cardio 6 days a week and weightlifting 3 days, social soccer and badminton, reached out to remaining friend (singular), started therapy, started doing fun activities on weekends, started trying to be more social and talk to people, switched to a dumb phone, got rid of social media, eating healthy, sober for 1.5 years.

But I’m so awkward. And I’m so unconfident in myself. I never feel in control. I feel like I’m a people pleaser even though I have hard morals. I’m always kind to people and smile and nice, polite in conversation and ask people about themselves. But I realise no one asks back. And when I walk past strangers I get nervous and smile at them, feeling judged. I feel like I’m constantly “on” and that I have to be my best self to everyone and the garbage man. But I question myself, who cares what people think? But subconsciously I clearly care very deeply what EVERYONE thinks and it’s exhausting.

Like I said I have ADHD. I’m inconsistent, I swing between very intellectual (I’ve built and sold viral software, I’ve won startup competitions, I’m way above average at some things like ideation and execution) but I’m dumb as bricks in other areas - social situations with more than 1 person are extremely hard to navigate, I constantly have relationship issues with everyone, I find the workplace and jobs impossible to perform in even though I have innate ability in what I do.

What gives? How do you get confidence when you’re always in your own head, and life’s hard?

When I say confidence I mean quiet confidence, confidence in my own actions and abilities and lot in life x social interactions. Not “alpha male” confidence.

I remember reading an article that had the theory that Thai restaurants in hotels were usually very authentic under the assumption that the parents were immigrants who wanted the child to inherit the business, but the kid wanted to run a restaurant instead. It would certainly explain why you get Thai restaurants attached to random hotels in the middle of nowhere, at least.

Nonsense. They wouldn't be out of work, their jobs would just be easier and more pleasant. And your experience as a customer would be better. But clearly their employer and your choice of store isn't sufficiently incentivized to care, otherwise they would have done the software competently.

Of a world, not necessarily the real world. One of the main drawbacks of philosophical rationalism is a mind's ability do deceive itself with constructs that sound plausible and are consistent with the world model. A healthy dose of empiricism is the best cure discovered so far.

In other words, less thinking and more experiments and observations. Thinking alone leads to ignorance.

Is that a quality signal, or just a sign they don't mind selling to people going back from parties, in various stages of being drunk? I always assumed the latter. Few restaurants (McDonald's and KFC aside) want to work those hours, so whichever does is almost guaranteed a steady trickle of customers who literally have nowhere else to eat (other than home). There isn't much pressure for quality in this situation.
