Is it really going to be faster? In the benchmark they cited in the README [0], they are in 10th place among Python frameworks. This is not a real-life benchmark, as it merely expects a hardcoded response. In fact, Robyn’s 10th place is thanks to a feature designed for benchmarks like this, i.e. marking responses as constant [1]. Three more frameworks beat Robyn if you disable this benchmark optimization.

I will go out on a (small) limb here and note that it really looks like the intention of this submission is is to associate a technical issue with DOGE and find a friendly audience to further a point. Normally a DNS issue of a government site would not be news. Since the submission does not give any evidence or fact, it is lazy in that respect. And if indeed it had an unstated motive (my small limb), you could also say it’s disingenuous and brigading. Am I wrong? I would be happy to stand corrected.

They will also do this in C++ or Rust. The only difference is that in Rust they will pretend it is ok because they wrapped it "unsafe", so if they mess up it is nobody's fault because it can not possible be a problem with Rust or the Rust programmer, so it was unavoidable fate.
As complicated as this would be to implement, it is only solution I think sounds like a fair policy to discourage getting filthy rich while lifting the poor to a better economic balance.

Show HN: Search Engine Wrapper/Router
I built a super lightweight search engine wrapper that allows users to search across websites from a single interface with quality of life additions.

- Lightweight: The project is extremely quick to load and run. It uses only vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

- Custom Default Engine: Users can select the search engine they'd like to use by default.

- Bang Patterns: Users can add special commands (eg, "!g" for Google, "!yt" for YouTube) to their query to quickly switch to a specific search engine or website.

- Snap Patterns: Users can use the same special commands as bangs, substituting '!' for '@', to do a search in their chosen engine that is filtered to a specific site. For example, searching for only GitHub results on DuckDuckGo.

Check it out and let me know what you think! I originally built it just for myself but figured others may see use in it. I'm especially interested in hearing what bang/snap patterns would be useful to add.

I've also found it very handy when using Kagi's Starter Plan, which only permits 300 searches monthly.

> The causes of AI are plainly the curiosity of researchers and the greed of corporations who hope to make money with it.

This doesn't completely add up though. The current flavor of AI took 10-15 years of massive research and capital investment to be developed: Think of the effort of scraping most of the web for training data, then running hundreds of the most powerful GPUs available for a year for the pretraining, then paying thousands of workers to label the data for RLHF. There has to have been a conscious management decision to pursue that specific direction of research, no matter how many resources it would require - and mere scientific curiosity doesn't strike me as sufficient of a reason to explain the expenses.

Expectations of profit would, but if that was the driving factor, then it's weird how haphazardly the whole sector goes about monetization strategies. ChatGPT was presented as a sort of open-ended tech demo with not even any specific purpose. Right now, tech companies are almost desperately shoving AI into about any existing product they can think of, usually for free and often even against the preferences of their users.

This doesn't look like a successful monetization strategy for me - if anything, AI looks like the world's most elaborate case of investor storytelling.

I don't want to rule out that they'll eventually find a business model for AI, but it seems weird to commit to a technology which requires this kind of extreme resource investment to be useful without having any idea what you actually want to do with it, once you have it.

More seriously, can you provide sources for your interpretation of Land's thesis as 'capitalism is intelligence'? Asking because I've always interpreted it more as 'capitalism is sentient' (which I have to admit is a pure, unadulterated cosmic horror moment right there) but I'm not a Land scholar, just an appreciator of weirdnesses.

There’s native modules to speed up hot paths, and there’s writing 29% [0] of your framework in Rust, entirely sidestepping interoperability standards, like ASGI.

[0] https://github.com/sparckles/Robyn says 50% Python, 25.3% JS, 20.7% Rust — but all the JS code seems to be for their docs site, so it is reasonable to say 20.7 / 70.7 = 29.2% is in Rust.
You're misattributing the issues entirely. The issues right now are caused by the markets not reflecting reality.

If Germany were to split its electrical grid into two (north and south), as economists and the EU demand, things would be clearer.

The northern grid would produce more renewable energy than is required in total (hovering between 120-300% production vs usage). It'd have electricity prices around 10-15ct/kWh

The southern grid would have more pollution than even poland, as it's primarily fed with lignite, and would end up with an electricity price above 90ct/kWh.

The issues in Germany are not caused by technical or economical challenges, but by political ones. The southern states have passed laws to restrict renewables and limit construction of new power lines to gain favors with conservative NIMBYs and newage NIMBYs.

Learn using Linux: > 3yrs.
LinModem for me! I got my US Robotics 33.6 (with X2 software upgrade-ability) working and was so amazed. Then my dad's ISP got rid of a bunch of external serial 56k modems and I was in heaven. Those "just worked". Oddly, it was probably 6 months later that DSL started making a splash and I was trying to figure out ways to use my Alcatel USB "stingray" model with Linux. I ended up buying an external "gateway" that required me to set the MTU to 1492 instead of 1500. It screwed up my Redhat 7.2 downloads so badly. The checksum would never match so the install would always fail.

Somehow I still refer to these as "the good old days".
I wonder: do these people really believe this stuff is going to work out well, or is working out badly for most people the point?

For most authors from Ayn Rand to Karl Marx I get the idea that they genuinely believe their ideas would make life better for the majority of the human race. I don’t think the problem with their ideas was obvious to them when they wrote them.

In this case I’m not so sure. A lot of the NRx writings drip with contempt for most people, which usually comes from externalized self hate. This stuff has a real misanthropic quality veiled behind a lot of tedious overwrought sophistry.

Also: reading the futurists, I would be shocked if they were not on speed. Didn’t meth hit around this time? Amphetamine abuse produces a specific sort of cognitive artifact.

Silicon Valley’s turn toward nihilistic accelerationism is probably chemically induced to some extent too.

The Russian Cosmists and the American futurist writers from the early days of the 60s counterculture (Leary, Wilson) are all way more interesting.
This is yet again a nothing burger. They had to change that definition because in California "selling" means "[...] releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring [...]" in exchange for “monetary” or *“other valuable consideration.”*. You can see user collected data publicly, and use said data to improve Firefox the browser, that would be argued that is a valuable consideration.

The user collected data are things like about:studies, the new tab page, Firefox Addons, and anything listed here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#health-report

This is literally language that had to change to describe Mozilla's actions in line with California's law.

This is very handwave-y and idealistic. Sure, 8 billion humans, and thousands of companies on a cosmic timeline will lift the "most capable entity" to the top, but the road there is going to be extremely long if you just "nah they'll get it" and not do anything else.
That’s exactly what I thought until I actually tried tailwind. Now I really like it.

It has pros and cons like anything though. Trying to style a fundamental component is pretty painful. Like imagine your company’s main “button” element. It’s got 8 different sizes, optional icons on both sides, animations, styles, each needing to support different color combos. Tailwind is miserable for that. You get giant huge balls of spaghetti classes all over your button, and it’s pretty incomprehensible.

But for “glue” styles, it’s freakin amazing. Putting those components together, giving them spacing, even making simple components that don’t have lots of conditional properties? It’s really nice. You can style stuff quickly and consistently right from the markdown, you don’t have to think of classnames for every teeny little thing, and you can somewhat imagine what stuff looks like just by looking at the jsx.

I remember the crazy hype around it when it got popular, and it really put me off. Didn’t even try it for a long time. Now I’m in a codebase that doesn’t have it, and I miss it! I don’t miss it terribly, but it was a nice little QOL upgrade
For the millionth time, we don’t pay the government. The US federal government is not funded by taxes. The US government spends money into existence. It taxes money out of existence to help control the supply of money, inflation, etc. Stop using the deficit as a smokescreen for redistribution of wealth away from the 99% to the 1%.

It's deeper than lying about P25. P25 was allegedly an intentionally public document, designed to grab the media spotlight. It is actually plausible that trump had never seen a single page of that document by design.

There is a secret runbook that goes much further than P25 which the same authors ensured was never printed or emailed anywhere which could be susceptible to FOIA. That is the runbook they have been using since day 1, which likely contained all 74 of his day 1 orders pre-written.

Like this: https://gameofrent.com/content/can-land-be-accurately-assess...

Also, LVT has never been proposed with taxing 100% of the annual rental value of land. This means you do not need to be 100% accurate with your assessment in order for the land to still be profitable to utilize. A 33% tax would mean you could literally be off by a factor of three in the assessment and it would still be marginally profitable.

I'm not sure about your example, but land of little potential value should be taxed little. Keep in mind that it is taxed according to its potential value though - not its current. 1,000 acres in the middle of nowhere is likely to cost basically zero in taxes if it can't be utilized for any purpose either now or in the future. If it has future value then you would need to do a net present value calculation.

Facts. All Trump did was take the top talking points of AM radio & fox (birtherism/racism, illegal immigration, and no factory jobs) and parroted them to power.
When the Soviet Union collapsed the US sent over "economic consultants" to steer what happened next towards "free markets."

What happened next is that various chancers marched into state institutions, usually with private security details made of low-grade armed thugs promoted from street crime, and said "This is ours now."

The US aristocracy saw this and apparently thought "Perfect - let's make that happen here too."

The fact there's been no significant state or media push back against Musk's takeovers is all anyone needs to know. The aim is a kleptocratic imperium drowning in gold, drugs, delusion, and corruption - which is exactly what Russia turned into.
It's a good overview of the ideological movements that have been happening in these spaces for some time. He makes some confused attempt to reconcile it with religious extremism at the end that doesn't work. There are already cleavages between Trump's evangelical base and the crowd surrounding Thiel.

In 2015, right wing politics was being discussed among three chief groups: the techno-commercialists, the ethno-nationalists, and theonomists. You may still be able to find a Venn diagram describing these groups if you look for it, but to make a long story short, Trump was seen by many (though not all) popular figures in these groups as a unifying figure who could deliver on what everyone wanted. These groups were never wholly unified in what they wanted: Techno-commercialists were mostly anarcho-capitalists during this period and tended to not want the sorts of restrictions on immigration that the nationalists wanted. Theonomists tended to be interested in the salvation of everyone and thus couldn't limit themselves to capitalism or nationalism if these ideologies were found to conflict with their religion. These differences were set aside because there was a feeling that anything had to be better than the culture war issues that were going on at the end of Obama's second term.

When Trump began campaigning for the 2024 election, the cleavages became far more pronounced as groups became concerned with what messaging would be most effective. Theonomists were pushed out (largely by techno-commercialists) due to the feeling that religious overtones would be unpalatable to the average voter. Theonomists largely seem to have exited the stage in terms of their influence. I am aware of one that is building a town, but his interests seem to have shifted towards ethno-nationalism.

The techno-commercialists are everywhere now and largely seem to have won out over the nationalists and the theonomists. Blake Masters is another prominent one from Thiel's network. If you follow these circles at all, it also seems like Thiel has probably also been paying stipends to influencers in the space. It would have been unimaginable in dissident spheres to run cover for Thiel 10 years ago because he is 1) a billionaire with ties to the military-industrial complex, 2) an immigrant, and 3) gay, but there is now quite an extensive network of users on Twitter who promote him. Most of these guys were Trump absolutists; they believed anyone who crossed Trump was assumed to be in the wrong, because Trump was seen as the only viable way forward. It seems like they were in the loop with regards to JD Vance and Elon Musk being brought into Trump's inner circle, because they rapidly became emphatic about both figures despite neither being particularly palatable to their audience (Musk wants to bring in more immigrants, Vance is married to an Indian woman and worked at at investment bank).

Great overview, though. I had the draft for an article like this kicking around but I guess there's no need to finish it now.
It's fairly different than the approach inside the CppCon 2014 talk because the data model itself is not actually strongly tied to the underlying types of the data.

That lack of strong integration does result in a bit more boiderplate code, but it allows more flexibility. In principle, the data model and the actual data can be quite different as long as you can bridge the two together with the boilderplate code. It's more like projecting a JSON schema over a bunch of various getters and setters and running visitors through them, with some helpers to automatically grok STL-like containers.

It's not that stupid, we still have many millions of people in utter food insecurity, and not just in the "third world" but also across our Western nation.

IMHO, people should come before cars when it comes to distribution of food, and we should electrify automotive to get rid of the entire issue anyway. What few renewable fuels we have, we will sooner or later need to power air flight and ocean-crossing ships, as we do not have any alternative to some sort of combustible fuel for either purpose.
I've never had any lack of focus or motivation to get anything done since I started Tz.

Formal deportation does not require imprisonment for weeks, I personally know someone deported on arrival from Spain and they were sent back to their home country a few hours later. There's no reason to do it, it costs more for the country deporting someone, it doesn't improve the deterrence since the deported will be banned from entry for a while.
