Do you go to grandma every day to eat calory packed food? Does grandma deploy dozens of scientists who design food so that it has an addicting effect? Dozens of marketing experts who confront you with images to consume the junk? Lobbyists who try to convince that sugar is not causing health problems? Your analogy does not work. These corporations are creating products that cause massive health issues that cost society billions.
Isn’t Marx, when he documented Capitalism, predicted its collapse?
Capitalism has been tried in 100 countries over the past 100 years. Not a single country has reported a harmonious society without suffering and inequality. Failure over and over.
But no alternative is being seriously researched.
I’m not talking about socialism/communism. A new system designed according to current knowledge in sociology, anthropology, and human biology.
Capitalism wasn’t scientifically researched nor updated according to science. In humans, it amplifies greed and materialism.
And democracy that we use now wasn’t seriously reviewed and updated according to modern science. The democracy we use now is the system the ancient Greeks came up with to replace feudalism. And all they knew back then was feudalism, so they replaced kings with electable kings. And we use that primitive cavemen level system now! It’s so bad you wouldn’t even use it in your Civilisation type game unless you expand it with 100s of in-game regulations, which we are unable to do upon real world.

Why is it harder to work with? It makes it immediately obvious what the visual layout is and what the purpose of the component is and a lot of time all you want to do is have a flex on a component and you don't need other CSS to warrant yet another CSS class. It's the same reason why utility CSS was created (eg <div class="flex">). It also saves you from having to come up with a semantic name in your CSS for every wrapper.

Compare the following:

<Stack gap={2} direction="row">
<Box>
<Avatar />
</Box>
<Box>
<Button />
</Box>
</Stack>

-----

<MyCustomWrapper>
<InnerChild>
<Avatar>
</InnerChild>
<InnerChild>
<Button />
</InnerChild>
</MyCustomWrapper>
Apparently you need to add "what is a webserver" for these new guys.
> All they do is regurgitate text which resembles a continuation of what came before, and sometimes—but with zero guarantees—that text aligns with reality.

You mean like us? Because it takes many runs and debug rounds to make anything that works. Can you write a complex code top-to-bottom in one round, or do you gradually test it to catch bugs you have "hallucinated"?

Both humans and LLMs get into bugs, the question is can we push this to the correct solution or get permanently stuck along the way? And this depends on feedback, sometimes access to a testing environment where we can't let AI run loose.

File this under things the government could fix pretty easily, and would make the economy run better, while being unpopular with a tiny fraction of voters.
Does this actually do anything to stop torrents?

You said yourself, you can trivially bypass the protection using 3rd party hardware like "recording on a cell phone." This doesn't seem like it does anything to reduce actual piracy, while severely harming the Fair Use right to take a quick screenshot for personal reference.
Yeah, lets sell cigarettes and blame consumers for health issues because, you know, capitalism is the best system we have and the burden is on the consumers.
Oh yes ? The scambot will leave a distress message and a number in your voicemail, using the voice of a relative. You would know better but I guarantee old people will call the number and strike a convo with the virtual relative.
Writing documentation after coding should strongly feature why things were done the way they were. How could an LLM do that?

> Comparatively they are still incredibly safe countries, and the sentiment of insecurity has always been disproportionate to reality and politically exploited.

In 2005 France's domestic intelligence network, the Renseignements Generaux, identified 150 "no-go zones" around the country where police would not enter without reinforcements.

I am guessing, the sentiment of insecurity must be pretty strong in these areas if the cops don't even go there anymore.
Very unprofessional of Discourse to publicly shame a client like this. If they are not being paid and they care so much about the cost they should bring the website down instead of resorting to petty shaming.
I suppose that you are using a dynamic language? Static typed languages have less of this problem.
You can be impeached for lying to Congress or maybe even substantially misleading it.

Isn’t that how they got Clinton?
The LLMs want to please, they can infinitely keep making 'important' changes; changing variable names without changing anything else, adding/removing comments, adding removing print statements, moving a function somewhere in the code (usually by first duplicating it) and fixing perfectly fine code with 'let me see if everything is really working' (it was and now it's broken again).
It apparently did better with users' subjective evaluations. I guess they liked the "extra detail" look, even if it's fake. End users aren't zooming in to freeze frames or, heaven forbid, taking screenshots (think of the copyright!!)
You've made a good example of the danger of using words like this to group people. You've made an incorrect assumption that I am a "liberal" and you've made no argument beyond that I am serving a boogeyman in the nebulous concept of "the right," perpetuating a black and white idea of us-and-them politics and shoe-horning every possible opinion into one of two camps.

If you genuinely want to change my behaviour then please substantiate your claims, give arguments for the points you're making and speak to me like an individual rather than a hologram of whatever group you're projecting onto me.
It looks like a nice design! I'd love to hear a bit more about what it offers over Django/Flask/FastAPI though!

The examples look very similar to Fast API and the requests per second comparisons make Robyn look very speedy![0]

I'm sure the developer has more of a vision than just "faster fast api" though - would love to hear more!

It's not, FlexDiv is just another name for Stack, they are describing the same aspect. Eg. you can imagine one CSS library using Flex, one Group and the third one Stack for the same concept, eg. some other UI frameworks use VBox and HBox. But it is still different from TopSectionHeader, SectionHeaderInner, SectionBodyWrapper, or whatever other names you have to come up with to give your component "semantic" meaning according to their content.

I have a dating app masquerading as an event planning/inviting app that I've done an MVP for and now needs a more polished rewrite for a larger launch.

It's a Flutter app served through app stores, but those have been bugging me with annoying requirements, the latest is Google removing the app from the Play Store unless I send a ridiculous amount of self identification documents.

Reasonable request or not, it's a never ending flow of bureaucracy and annoyance.

Are app stores still needed for reach? Will users just use an app-like website instead?
Gosh! I would love to hear more about that court hearing! Good to hear from you again
Note that NATO talks about the « nature », not the « scope » or region of the conflict.

I don’t think nuclear is likely either. Because of the deterrence.

But again, if Russia thinks its only way of winning is firing a nuke, I do believe they will not have the time to be disappointed about their miscalculation.

Because the retaliation is a no-brainer (and again, the scenarios have been discussed and examined for decades, and the procedures are all ready to run).

It will not be about only Russia/Ukraine or Russia/NATO afterwise but about the whole world doctrine on nuclear arsenals and their use.
> This argument about using your computer how you want doesn’t make any sense.

Ohhhh, you're trolling :D

Old school, I can respect that.

Yeah, I too cannot imagine why anyone would want the freedom to decide how they use their computer, rather than yielding that to a corporation ;)
There is so much petty crime that is no longer reported in France because people know the cops won't do anything about.

What's the point of reporting it if you know that nothing will come out of it? I had my car broken into, my phone stolen on the train, I have been harassed on public transport. Guess how many times the perpetrators were fined/convicted?

A big fat 0. And some of that stuff happened in areas with multiple "security" cameras who witnessed the whole thing.

Two things:

1. Historically a CLI like this would often be written in C, so Rust isn't that strange of a choice.

2. Rust is know for the borrow checker and being a great low level language. However, it's also an excellent modern general purpose language with a great ecosystem. People end up using it for all kinds of things because it's a joy to use.

"When I tried developing in Rust I came to the conclusion that you pay a heavy price for not having a garbage collector. Was I doing it wrong?"

Rust is tricky to grasp initially, the learning curve goes pretty much vertical immediately, but once you "get it" it's very nice. When I started out I overused borrowing and ran into heaps of lifetime problems. I think limiting yourself to only using references for function arguments and, rarely, return values is a good place to start. As soon as you are start adding references to struct you should stop and think about who owns the data and what its lifetime is. Thinking properly about ownership is the big shift from GC languages. Once you've gotten into that habit, lifetimes are downstream from that.
Syntactically it's a pretty nice language, with a nice and sane ecosystem (crates, etc), and it's fun to write (which is a pro especially for unpaid hobby projects). If you get used to it, it's nice to write various things in it. I'd probably use it for CLI tools at this point.

You do pay a bit in syntactic overhead (lifetimes, borrow checking perplexities), though you get used to it. I'd still not use it for a standard product-y web app. For CLI tools though, it's pretty good.
I really don't want to get into de-railing the conversation away from the very real concern of the rise of facism in the US, but "undocumented" here is a factual adjective whereas using the term "illegals" as a noun is a clear scare-word. The more neutral equivalent would be "illegal immigrants" and the more charged version of "the undocumented" would be "undocumenteds."
Trump's america seems to not dictate, but more recite Russia's psyops.

From their point of view, USA being unable to handle both internal and foreign policies like it used must surely be a signal.

ps: and btw, I don't believe that the border thing is not inflated by this camp to distract the american people.
The planets in our solar system all orbit on the same plane because they all formed from the same dust cloud that was rotating in the same plane.
Fun fact: The AAVR (AAV receptor) is itself a glycoprotein (carrying the precise type of glycosylation they are trying to repair with the “gene therapy”).

I unfortunately agree with you. Old people with confusion/dementia, schizoid types, or very naive persons will fall for shattering scams. And the consequences on their grasp on reality will be terrible.

I don't mind it, since I like the language, and I'll try to use apps written in Rust when possible. If I see Rust, I know what to expect wrt. resource usage and performance, contributor experience and so on. I'm also willing to test them to "dog-food" the ecosystem.

This is true if you were young and hanged around other teenagers.

Feels like I'm reading something I could have wrote - I did this some years ago at a startup and have been doing it ever since. I'm using single-character prefixes in most places and having typed ids is so nice to be able to immediately look at an id and know what it's used for or what type of entity it refers to.

I find one type char and 11 base58 chars sufficient - 12 total, gives me more values than you can store in a 64-bit int...
Unless you are going for a hyper-tech niche and plan in making almost nothing out of it, as of today, being on app stores is a requirement unfortunately.

Definitely feel free to make it available elsewhere too (F-droid, GH, etc.) but if you want the app available to the general public, that's the way.
The comments here are hilarious. So many people getting on their soapbox about someone forgetting to pay a bill. Something that has undoubtedly happened at your organisation, and happens at most, given enough time.

This website fucking sucks.
Sometimes I don't know anything (relatively) about the topic and I want to get a foundation so I don't care whether the syntax or the code is valid as long as it points me in the right direction. Other times I know exactly what I want and I just find that instructing LLM specifically what output I expect from it just helps me get there faster.
Yes it already happend. Right now if I give you a crafted article with some fine tuning you won't be able to tell the difference.

Just the openai flavours give clear signals but others might not.
What are your performance expectations?
We need to trigger external effects (eg on a USB-attached embedded device) and sometimes do stuff like forget a BLE device in system settings. We‘ve been looking into making a fake mouse that can achieve the latter. If you can support both use cases, you‘ve won.

I can think of at least a few things:

- Since this is Hacker News, it's likely meant to showcase it to other Rust engineers, or attract contributors

- It signals that it is close to C/C++ speeds, but is more memory-safe than C/C++ servers

- It shows pride in being able to overcome the borrow checker, which can sometimes be difficult (Rust is more of a language + small formal proof of memory safety, than just a language)
Your muscle repair would come primarily from protein.
I used to train quite intensely and this protocol worked for me (timings matter):

- 45 mins before workout: small bowl of oatmeal with milk

- 30-0 mins before workout start: 1 liter of water pre-hydration

- During workout: 1/2 liter of water per half hour of intense cardio training, less so for resistance

- Straight after workout: double black espresso coffee (high caffeine)

- Hit sauna for extensive slow cool-down, drinking one sports drink (sugars and electrolytes)

- hour later: full meal of mainly lean protein

Never had issues with muscle pains or "fog".

If you go really deep beyond your usual sustain, feeling physically exhausted and needing rest afterwards is normal. Eating your way through it is not the way to go.
Interesting, but he doesn't have the authority to do that.

Still, one must ask whatever happened to all the "States' Rights" folks...
What rocket equation cares is reaction mass not energy: ve * ln(m0/mf) where ve is exhaust velocity, m0 is initial total mass, which is dry mass + propellant mass, and mf is dry mass
If you think US Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" (it is not, by definition), then do you also think all other highly developed nations are running Ponzi schemes because their national pension is paid from current accounts? Something that I see rarely discussed: Most national pension schemes need means testing. If you already have reasonably large savings, investments, or passive income, then you don't need the full amount of national pension. You can receive less. The remaining portion can be redirect to those in greater need. One thing we have learned in economics in the last 10 years, when poorer people receive direct cash payments from govt's, they spend it into the economy as a much greater portion than those wealthier.

Also, the US has 401(k) savings plans. It is pretty similar to Kiwisave.
The biggest differentiator between Robyn and frameworks like FastAPI or Sanic seems to be the Rust runtime. But is Python's async actually the bottleneck that Rust is solving here?
As do I. I was going to post the same thanks. Hacker News has become Reddit with these stupid political posts. It's crazy how far this site has fallen in such a short time.
> because it means there's high demand for a reusable library

Every 'modern' project takes bucket loads of (annoying) setup and plumbing. Even in rather trivial 'start' cases, the LLM has to spend quite a bit of time to get a hello world thingy working (almost all of that is because 'modern programmers' have some kind of brain damage concerning backward compatibility; move fast and break things between MINOR versions that have no use or reason for those changes whatsoever but 'they liked it better', so stuff never works as it says on the product page; heaven help you if you need something exotic to be added). It's a terrible timeline for programming, but LLMs do fix at least that annoyance by just changing configs/slabs of code it until it works.
I would settle for a non-click bait title.
> why would you expect galaxies to NOT be randomly oriented?

Well that depends on what your intuition about randomness is, doesn't it?

Flipping a coin is not random, but you can't tell me the answer before it happens.

Similarly, galaxy orientation is not random, but predicting the world we perceive is perhaps not so easy.
Game development often uses commercial solutions like perforce that have central servers so you can lock out your binary files and everyone will know not to touch them at the same time as you.
Leaving your vendors hanging is literally taught and practiced among certain circles of entrepreneurs. Though not spelled out in explicit terms, they operate on the basis of "Fuck you, I got mine." They want a perpetual jackpot machine, and will stomp on anyone to get what they want, more money in the pursuit of even more money. They don't operate on the old mantra of "the boss is the last to get paid."

You'll be able to find them a few years down the road complaining that the mean old IRS is being so unfair because of the little bit of tax evasion that's totally not as bad as those real scammers on welfare.
>My skill at troubleshooting has caused me to be the goto guy in every project

I stopped trying to be that person because it came with too many costs. It wasn't that I didn't want to do it but that I wanted other people to be able to in my absence.
It’s been a while since I took a monetary theory class, but if people are interested in your first point they should look into fractional-reserve banking.

Essentially banks are only required to have a fraction of their deposit liabilities as liquid assets and can loan out the rest. If I remember correctly, this is actually how a substantial amount of money is created in the US and likely most of the world. If you deposit $100, a bank could make a $1000 loan assuming the reserve rate is 10%, which leads to an increase in the money supply of $900.

Money supply is definitely not the same as the size of the economy, but it is incorrect to say that bank deposits are just sitting stagnant. Banks are quite active with those deposits - how else would bankers make all that money!

Indeed. And to elaborate: the random collisions which flattened the solar system (or galaxy) over billions of years all conserved angular momentum.

I’m also surprised that a slight change in C1GalT1 expression has such a big effect on the glycocalyx. That enzyme is notoriously high-capacity, so you’d think it runs at near-saturating levels most of the time. My hunch is that something else in the pathway is hitting a bottleneck, possibly a chaperone like Cosmc that’s needed for proper enzyme folding, or maybe there’s some substrate competition with parallel glycosylation pathways. Once that bottleneck is reached, even a small shift can have an outsized impact on final glycan structures. In mice specifically, there might be unique regulatory quirks that amplify this effect, and you end up with a dramatic change in the mucins even though the enzyme itself seems too powerful to be the limiting step.
Why no MacOS support if you claim cross-platform? That's not honest.

It doesn’t matter much what they have in cash and non-liquid assets if they don’t have a balanced budget.

90% of Mozilla’s direct income (cash) comes from Google. And it looks like that funding may go away soon [1].

If Firefox had a big marketshare they might be able to capitalise on that, but right now it’s the lowest it’s ever been, and they keep on burning bridges.
