It's also a bit disappointing how much AI still deviates from what you ask of it. In one case, the prompt is (with spoilers removed):

> This star-lit scene in a [...] garden showcases [...] using a seven-foot reflecting telescope, with speculum metal mirrors, in 18th-century [...]. The [...] row house architecture, oil lantern lighting, and his period attire all pinpoint the late 1700s. The meticulously ground mirror indicates the telescope’s custom design that enabled this revolutionary astronomical finding.

The result is a picture (with some panning animation) of a guy who for some reason has a pistol in his belt, looking through a complicated-looking telescope that is however definitely not a seven-foot mirror telescope in broad daylight with an oil painting inexplicably hanging in mid air behind him. No starlight, row houses or oil lanterns to be seen.
I could use more guidance on migration for setups where development and testing is using Docker. I figured things out eventually. The issue here is lack of good tutorials that cover cases other than a happy path.

Are you looking for something like `uv sync --upgrade`? This one should be re-assessing your dependencies (excluding version pinned ones of course) and regenerate the lockfile if I remember correctly.

I’ve built something similar myself. It’s quite annoying that the browser only saves like 3 months of history.
From actual software output it seems to me like the big SaaS LLM:s compete with Wordpress and to some extent with old school code generation. It does not look like a paradigm shift to me. Maybe you can explain why you're convinced otherwise.

Some quite large organisations have had all-hands meetings and told their developers that they must use LLM support and 'produce more', we'll see what comes of it. Unlike you I consider it to be a bad thing when management and owners undermine workers through technology and control (or discipline, or whatever we ought to call the current fashion), i.e. the luddites were right and it's not a bad thing to be a luddite.
I legitimately would have to guess what they meant. The obvious reading to me is that she is magically repairing it by looking at it, though I would know that's not what they meant, which leaves brute force guessing.

You can say that someone is 'fixed on' something, which means to look doggedly, but 'fixing something' is totally different, who says that?

Subjective of course, but I just think it's a bad sentence.

I hope you realize that happened in 2006.

Recent developments can only improve the situation, actually, if it makes Mozilla more independent.
Checkout the link for the full post but the TLDR; is the idea is right but the hardware is bad, needs a couple of iterations

The slightly longer TLDR; is that just about everyone I have shown this too has had a pretty strong reaction telling me that this is probably going to be something big in the future, either positively or negatively, im not sure yet.
Scoring function is unfair. If you get a location wrong with 100 km on a world map or the time wrong by 50 years, score drops like 50%.

I think it is more up to Mozilla to put its act together and implement more transparency. So that people start trusting the organization not to waste their donations on executive salaries.
I still think in the right tool for the job. Trying to write some web application in C will drive me mad. Also will trying to write some low level stuff in Java.
Imho the samsung dex approach is a fine concept (not saying that was fully developed or as extensive as what would be required to do it seriously for a proper desktop os)

Two totally seperate UIs that can run at the same time, a desktop one and a phone one.. it worked shockingly well imho.

Maybe an additional case where you can use the tablet as an extra screen, but honestly that could probably manifest as an app in the mobile UI.
Depends on the correct spelling of gaze.
Basically serverside you have a simple route app that is able to run the web applications through a headless chrome instance. The output is cached in static html files. Now when the initial site is served to the end users browser from then on all interactions are all dynamic. This setup works for all kinds of stacks. Angular, vue, react or just custom.
The logic is pretty simple. No bloated layers of complexity.

I've stuck with simple tools for all these years: pip, pip-tools, virtualenvwrapper etc. I've tried other stuff like poetry and it's always seemed like hard work. I'm glad I waited for uv. The one thing I wish it supported is having venvs outside of project directories. It's so much nicer to have them all in one place (like ~/.venvs or something) which you can ignore for backups etc. That's the only thing I miss, though.

> nobody wants to ...

If you don't want something, don't think everyone else thinks the same as you. From my observations, if something is being called "woke", that means it's probably a good thing, actually.
> But it's still locked down, for whatever reason, despite being a perfectly capable computer that doesn't necessarily need to be.

Consider that some people (and I guarantee you that they vastly outnumber the "my iPad should run macOS/Linux and be a full laptop-equivalent" crowd, probably by several orders of magnitude) may want a locked down perfectly capable computer if it means they don't have to waste their time and brain energy on dealing with things outside of their goal.
With AI, full-stack will be only on the up, especially the frontend UI nitty-gritty (my humble prediction).
Chromium extends Google’s control over the web platform.

Google engineers write specs for new APIs. They get rejected by Mozilla and Apple on privacy and security grounds. Google implements them anyway. Other Chromium-based browsers get these APIs as a result. Then they start popping up on sites showing Safari and Firefox “failing” to implement them. Then web developers ask why Safari and Firefox are so “behind” in implementing “web standards”.

This mechanism is how the web standards process is being subsumed into “whatever Google wants” instead of being a collaborative effort between multiple rendering engines. Google should not be able to unilaterally decide what is and isn’t a web standard.
Amazing. I used to run a startup that allowed you to write Python scripts that streamed data into Excel in real time - for eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8ddmui/rea...

The python scripts were deployed PaaS style into a Kubernetes cluster.

If only we'd had the insight to manage our control plane via Excel also, we'd probably be squillionaires by now. :P

Show HN: Gemini Story Creator
You’ve probably seen all the story demos in Gemini AI Studio showing off Gemini Flash's multimodal abilities. I wanted to see if I could do that with the API to have more control over the UX.

It took some effort, but I added it to my open-source site. This is a standalone project within it, and the code is open-source.

The flow is a bit glitchy, and I had to add rate limiting, but hopefully, you get something good!
Pretty cool is that they mention Keyhole a few times. Keyhole (later Google Earth) was created a year later, in 1999.
As a European citizen, why would I want my taxes to fund a browser built by a US entity and still subject to the whims of the current US administration?

Unless you mean that Mozilla should move completely to Europe, sure. But the part about the EU not telling Mozilla what to do is naive. If my taxes pay for it, of course I want the EU to tell Mozilla what to do.

There are other search engines that are on par with Google search from a few years ago. Brave search is particularly good.

Any significant edge in the market will swiftly be corrected. If it doesn't, the entire market collapses. We can't all sit back at the beach doing nothing while our autonomous AI agents make us all millionaires. Where is that money coming from? Who is generating it?
How can it not be true? One of the primary features of the rust compiler is enforcing memory safety at compile-time. C doesn't have anything like that. There are an entire class of bugs that are impossible to implement in rust.

They ARE terrible. They used to be very good at it. Microsoft advanced GUIs more through the '90s than anyone else. Tidy, efficient, and still innovative. Windows 95 through XP pretty much nailed down most of what a GUI needs.

Microsoft has since abandoned essential practices that make GUIs work, in addition to abandoning taste and organization. Windows is a sorry shitshow of defective design and defective function.

Don't agree? Then back up your objection instead of anonymously downvoting, crybaby. So tiresome.
Php templates leads to this type of implementation in a quite intuitive way. It’s refreshing seeing old patterns being rediscovered.
> On emotional level, they like it when someone else is harmed. And that is it.

On the other hand I recommend you work on improving your empathy even if you don't use it for debating. That is ridiculous and you don't have the excuse of an upcoming election to get away with bad behaviour.

The pro-DOGE people generally want to pay less tax. That is a much better motivating theory. Will they get that? Probably not. But the emotional response (if any) is going to be much more on the greed or fairness aspects.
This topic comes up a lot when Apple release a device with the “pro” label.

So sure it contains an M2, but it’s also a fanless device that combines its entire componentry, including the screen, into a package that is just a few mm thick. On top of that it also has a much smaller battery.

That kind of heat envelope makes it suitable for burst work, but poor for enduring workloads. Unlike the Mac it’s not going to allow limitless multitasking while exporting video and other processor heavy tasks. This hardware limitation is recognised in the types of software that the device runs competently.

So I partly blame Apple’s marketing, but I also think caveat emptor - why would the buyer assume that all of these other Mac shapes and sizes exist if they can actually all be squeezed into a 5mm thick enclosure.

Again not diminishing Firefox's efforts but it's difficult not to compare with other _leaner_ open-source projects.

"if you find yourself drinking a martini and writing programs in garbage-collected, object-oriented Esperanto, be aware that the only reason that the Esperanto runtime works is because there are systems people who have exchanged any hope of losing their virginity for the exciting opportunity to think about hex numbers and their relationships with the operating system, the hardware, and ancient blood rituals that Bjarne Stroustrup performed at Stonehenge"

Why can't we have a mixed system? A Dropbox like service with built-in file sharing. If there are no other peers or the speed of transferring from peers is slow, you use some servers for seeding.
”Modern ux” can be a very political term on HN.

Yes, uxers have to balance business and user needs. That is the power dynamic of business we live in, it’s not typically the driving force of actual uxers themselves.

At the core the ethos of the human centered design (HCD) is being an advocate for the needs of actual users. Being seen as the ”enemy” on HN feels demoralizing, as a person that sits on both sides of the fence.

I feel gladness about seeing the truth of my experience about this. I would like there to be more camaraderie between uxers and developers, and of course it being a more common scenario to be able to drive a genuinely shared vision also with business leadership.

If you have a source for ”modern ux doctrine”, i’d love to hear about it to have an actual discourse.
He risked everything, and in the end, the system closed ranks to protect itself. Retroactive immunity was basically a way of saying - "Yep, it was illegal, but it doesn't matter."
Pretty much nailed it. Touchscreen devices are not for creating; they're for taking what you're given. They require big fat buttons for big fat fingers, which you poke like a trained pigeon to get your food pellet.

> Now, who exactly are these globalists? No one knows for sure, but Trump might be referring to foreign investors holding massive amounts of US Treasury bonds (bonds issued by the US government). Take China, for instance. The US buys more from China than the other way round, creating a trade deficit. This leaves China with excess US dollars, which it then recycles into US banks by buying Treasury bonds, essentially lending money back to America for safe returns.

This is ridiculous.

China, Japan, India, and everyone else buys treasury bills because it is better than holding dollars for foreign reserves.

Not only that crashing the stock market will benefit bond holders. As all the money would flow towards bond markets.

Which is what is happening.

Sure. What they will call AI [an unspecified number of years in the future] will be compared similarly the the SOTA AI models.

> I think it's weakening junior engineers' reasoning and coding abilities as they become reliant on it without having lived for long, or at all, in the before times.

Same as StackOverflow, same as Google, same as Wikipedia for students.

The problem is not using the tools, it's what you do with the result. There will always be lazy people who will just use this result and not think anymore about it. And then there will always be people who will use those results as a springboard to what to look for in the documentation of whatever tool / language they just discovered thanks to Cursor.

You want to hire from the second category of people.

I'm expecting nobody will do that anymore in the US.

First, those heroes were treated as enemies, then their revelations lead to nothing for the country, and great pain for them.

Finally, I doubt they would be proud of what their country is today and think it's worth the sacrifice.

No offence but people have been saying that since about a month after the iPad launched and yet.

> Already, it's difficult (not yet impossible) to install software outside the confines of Apple's app store.

What's difficult? You download the DMG, open it, drag the app to Applications, job done. Or you install Homebrew if you're mostly after CLI tools. Or compile it yourself if you're happy going that route. (I use all 3 on a regular basis.)

> Already it's difficult (not yet impossible) to develop software for a mac

No, that bit is easy.

> without paying Apple for the privilege of "signing" your code.

That bit can be problematic, yeah. But you can ship unsigned apps and people can install them just fine.

(AFAICT you also have to pay if you want to sign your apps on Windows. It's the cost of providing the infrastructure, I suppose.)

This is timely. I have grown disappointed with mermaid as it can only render stuff in the browser and libraries that use dot underneath but do not afford full control over the generation, so I have stared writing little Python programs that generate SVGs for things like sequence diagrams and store their output.
I've been using Zed for a while now as it is the only editor that could replace TextMate for me in terms of having a native macOS feel but that does incorporate more IDE like features TextMate misses (like lsp and treesitter).

I welcome proper Git support, because it would mean fewer switches between editor and terminal (also the in IDE terminal just doesn't work). I hope they nailed it with the small details like they do for most of the application. I've been using GitX in the past and recently Lazygit as my main Git interface. Especially the line by line staging akin to `git add -p` would be welcome, but I read they are not quiet there yet?

I'm curious if it'l allow a workflow where amending to previous commits is easy. This workflow is really easy in Lazygit (using fixups and autosquash under the hood) and makes organising code into separate topic commits without much additional effort. And since Zed is all on the AI train they might incorporate something like git-absorb to automagically amend small changes into the commits they are related to.

I'd also love if they incorporate a proper overview of the Git tree, currently `tig --all` is my goto for that. Or one that allows you to drag and drop branches and rebases previews like Ungit (https://youtu.be/hkBVAi3oKvo?t=236) as that was the point that Git really started to make sense for me.
