> The calls are not yet made—we’re only building a blueprint of those calls:

<alert>

Hello,

</concat>

You've reinvented Free Monads: https://www.haskellforall.com/2012/06/you-could-have-invente...

That article is a bit dense if you're less familiar with Haskell, but the basic idea is that you can write code that looks like:

do
name <- prompt "Who are you?"
message <- concat "Hello, " name
alert message

And what actually gets assembled is something resembling a syntax tree of operations, waiting to be interpreted.

You could interpret it locally, or have the interpreter send requests to another computer. And (if such are your desired semantics) the interpreter can short-circuit the whole thing and return an error message if any step fails - similar to how you describe these as being "potential function calls", i.e. calls which as of yet may or may not successfully execute.

Analogously, JavaScript already has a monad-like construct which can achieve something similar:

async () => {
const name = await prompt()
const message = await concat("Hello, ", World)
const result = await alert(message)
return result
}

But this is pure code, rather than data that can be interpreted in a custom way - it will always be "interpreted" by the runtime itself. The Haskell example is somewhat of a blend between data and code (it desugars to a tree of closures calling each other in sequence, which you have a lot of control over the execution of).

Your React-style example attempts to make this concept into pure data. Though in some ways, a DSL becoming pure data wraps around and becomes pure code again. You need to parse it, semantically analyze it, and then execute it - in other words, you've invented a compiler.

I think JV was on the table, pre tariff. Already talking about "licensing" tiktok algo, i.e. concession to PRC export controlling algo which made full sale non starter. So it's either ban, or majority US JV, or some other politics to get TikTok US under US control... because as you mentioned Trump seems very intent on keeping TikTok.

> both countries can get creative.

I did preface "next rung of stupid", as in stupid / creative rungs of trade war escalation ladder. We're already at 100%+ tariffs, I think it's fair to conclude we're entering unseen/stupid/creative territory, hence highlighting increasingly wild options, because at some point the just adding to tariff %s become farcical and need to move onto other intruments. I think we're in the... almost anything short of kinectic war can happen realm.

> China will be just fine with right

Yes, I think China would actually be fine with substituting imports from EU for US if only to more balance trade with EU and further peel them from US. Under more predictable (slow) transition this would/could happen. But TBH I don't think PRC/EU relations good enough even with Trump/EU breakup. I think we're in very accelerationist trade war scenario and most likely patriotic buying (which is already growing trend in last few years) is going to do a lot of the capturing. Chinese domestic brand influence are growing, Chinese increasingly fine with consuming higher value Chinese brands.
weird - I had never heard of Jellycats as a brand, but last night I went to go buy a second copy of my toddler's favorite lovey (since the first will inevitably get ruined at some point... thinking ahead). And it was a jellycat brand, must have been gifted to us.
I feel like this article failed to effectively discuss the very important point that is how these big box stores tend to be a drain on the city's economy. It's sorta there but generally these stores tend to make communities poorer in the long run.

The lower cost is not the bad thing. Allowing an AI to learn from it and regurgitate is the bad thing. If we can put anything into an AI and then say whatever it spits out is "clean", even though it is obviously imitating what it learned from, whoever puts the investment into trying something new becomes the sucker.

Also, I don't get this weird sense of entitlement people have over someone else's work. Just because it can be copied means it should belong to everyone?
This is disturbing and they are declaring war on you with too many red flags.

> "Today, we’re launching a new, open protocol called Agent2Agent (A2A), with support and contributions from more than 50 technology partners"

Why do you think the majority of the big consultancy firms like McKinsey, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, Cognizant, Capgemini and Accenture are all here in this round table?

You are on the menu when they arrive to replace you with an agent.

Exhibit A:

> Hiring a software engineer can be significantly simplified with A2A collaboration. Within a unified interface like Agentspace, a user (e.g., a hiring manager) can task their agent to find candidates matching a job listing, location, and skill set.

The recruiter is now an "agent". Not a human. Don't think it isn't going to happen to you because that example targeted recruiters.

The big consultancy firms already have tens of thousands of employees and are ready to try it on them first before recommending to businesses to replace.... you.
They can also operate at a loss until they drive out all competition, and then raise prices - so that you probably end up at the same prices as before (or worse) - but with a much worse quality product (i.e. how they achieve better margins).
It's just another layer of abstraction so one doesn't need to think about HTTP at all, which would bring in irrelevant baggage.

He's just spent ten thousand words not very convincingly defending the fundamental misapprehensions which informed one of his own work's major theses, I would argue actually its central one, for the past four years.

Who has the stronger incentive to steelman? And if that's the best he can do right now, I grant that's not the same as saying he will certainly fail to adapt to the post-globalized, much more broadly and deeply impoverished world now taking shape. It is, though, about the same as saying he has not yet obviously begun succeeding.

I'm familiar with chain auto parts. They all try and cater to local needs. A store in Texas is gonna have more varieties of A/C stuff on the shelf (we're talking retail parts here, not vehicle specific stuff you buy at the counter). Stores in the rust belt are gonna have more exhaust stuff, etc. I'm only familiar with Napa from a management level and they're kind of the odd one out but as far as the other chains go whether it's corporate calling the shots or store management clearly the work is being done by someone.

I used to do this but these days I’m petrified of the restore being imperfect in some way.

I use the he.net app for TOTP. Will I get those back in working order?

I have a billion photos I want to keep — were they properly backed up to iCloud?

My mail settings are a pita to recreate. Will those come back?

Are passwords stored in the Secure Enclave? Could I lose those?

When I sign back into iCloud am I going to be able to use a username and password, or is it going to require me to approve the login on my laptop — which I left at home — as a second factor?

WhatsApp, Signal — how much is tied to my physical phone and/or any key material unique to the OS — material that is irretrievably lost, by design, when it is wiped.

I think really the long term answer is to stop using an opaque, closed source iPhone. Maybe some time in the next five years one will emerge that competes with Apple’s quality? Until then, every border crossing is going to risk handing over a huge part of my life to ICE because I can’t risk losing anything in a backup/restore hysteresis loop.

Post.: Another future direction would be for iOS and apps to recognise this as a common use case and provide guarantees about what is and what isn’t restorable after a wipe.

There’s also a conflict here between wiping data so that it is irretrievable and wiping data to later retrieve it. If you wipe with the intent to retrieve I can believe that immigration will just detain you until you restore your phone so that it can be searched.
True, Popcorn Time was slick — but if I remember correctly, it runs as a local app and immediately connects you to the swarm. That means your IP is exposed and you’re technically distributing content while watching it.

Webtor works differently — all torrent traffic goes through the backend, and your browser just receives the stream over HTTPS. No swarm connection from the user side at all.

So it’s not as feature-rich maybe, but it’s built with privacy and accessibility in mind — especially for people who can’t or don’t want to touch P2P directly.
Same! The algorithm thinks I needed to watch this.
Is it a fair turnaround for the honest folks just trying to get a job the old fashioned way, whose resumes will get drowned in the sea of AI trash?
It's my experience that once you get sent to secondary they have already decided to fuck you, they are just deciding which flimsy excuse they will use to do it. My totally non-legal conjecture (and livid experience) is if you are a citizen they will play mind games with you in secondary or a holding cell for hours to a day or so and then eventually reluctantly release you after muttering threats about revoking your passport and/or not letting you in.
Haha, yes very suspiciously fast!
In the latter case the US just enacted high tariffs on those countries as well. Regarding made in US, well, Apple products for example were exempted from the tariffs. This time they aren't.
I think they wanted to hear that it’s ok to invade other countries. Despite China being very pragmatic in all matters, China’s view on Taiwan is highly irrational. They want to have it because… well, just because. At the same time they manage to mostly ignore the territories that have been stolen by the Russian Empire. From the practical standpoint they actually have a better chance to regain the Russian territories gradually (through negotiations). I mean, Taiwan can be invaded, but it will be a scorched earth type of invasion making it entirely pointless.

I agree with this. I have to learn a lot about a new tool before I can effectively use the docs (beyond the getting started). If it's area where I'm already familiar, then sometimes I can jump in pretty easily, but often fumbling is a key step.

A quick(ish) and obvious path to monetization would be offering a SaaS hosted version. The obvious barrier here is how to connect to databases that are private (not publicly accessible). VPN, Wireguard, Twingate etc can be utilized but still a barrier.

I own and run a DevOps consulting company and if you have interest I may be able to assist you getting the hosted platform up and running. It is built currently to be multi-tenant with projects/organizations and users supported? Gonna need single sign-on support as well.
Would you seriously consider using any technology built by people who are making their first game?
I don't have the reference, but apparently there used to be US laws requiring producer / manufacturing / distributing companies to sell to all grocery stores at the same price. Because of this regional and local grocery stores could buy inventory at the same price that Walmart does, and because of that there were a lot more local and regional grocery stores.

At some point (under Regan?) the US got rid of these laws, Walmart in particular realized that it could compete on scale (and aggressively negotiating Walmart-specific deals), and that's a huge part of why we don't have as many smaller grocery stores anymore.

I don't have the article handy but if anyone else knows details about this I'd love to hear more.

The Groq interview was good too. Seems that the thought process is that companies like Groq/Cerebras can run the inference, and companies like Nvidia can keep/focus on their highly lucrative pretraining business.

Our launch got <20 visits from 3 marketplaces. Is there a better way to grow?
Hey folks,

I wanted to share some honest reflections from our recent launch experience and hopefully learn from others who’ve gone through the same.

We recently launched ConversionWax, a tool that helps ecom and SaaS brands personalize on-site content based on geo, traffic source, or intent (e.g., showing the right homepage banner to someone from LA vs. London, or tailoring CTAs for affiliate traffic).

To build early momentum, we listed on a few smaller marketplaces:

- MicroLaunch

- Fraizer

- InsanelyCoolTools

They looked promising initially, but after 3+ weeks, we got fewer than 20 visits combined. No engagement. No conversions. Just… silence.

Then we launched on Product Hunt.

The traffic bump was better, but it quickly became clear that visibility mostly goes to those who spend on promotion or already have large audiences. I’m not blaming the system, but as a small bootstrapped team looking to connect with real users, it’s been more challenging than we expected.

We built a tool that improves conversion rates, but ironically, getting in front of people without already being "in the loop" feels harder than ever.

So here’s my question for the community:

How have you actually found and attracted early users, especially affiliates, creators, or marketers, without spending big or relying on launch platforms?

I would love to hear what worked for you, such as affiliate platforms, cold outreach, community building, or anything else.

Thanks in advance — and happy to share what we’re learning in return

No, but abusing a payment system makes little sense. If people don't trust it they won't use it and then it serves no purpose. Incentives between government and people can have overlap
Imho, fundamentally man pages fail because they're generally a bunch of descriptive front-matter and then an exhaustive list of parameters, when 99% of time users want to do some of the most common actions with this tool and so the first things shown should be explaining how to do common workflows with examples.
> It is a balance between security for the user and security for the website owner.

Which in the case of browsers should always be decided for the user, rather than balanced. The browser is a user agent. It is running on the user's hardware.
I like this idea and think it’s really creative! But for feedback I’d like to see more clarity on what you mean by “rankings”.

For example, I searched “Ways to die” and got
1. Drowning
2. Firearms
3. Death during sleep

What exactly is the ranking criteria here? (Also, sorry for goofy edge case haha)

Show HN: Accessing a website you never visited before while being offline [demo]
This interactive demo explores how a website can load and function while you're in airplane mode — even if you've never visited it before.
It requires official Google Chrome and does not work on iOS devices (iPhone/iPad).

Spoiler alert: For the best experience, try the demo before reading the explanation below. You can launch it by clicking the post title at the top of this page.

The demo uses SXG (Signed Exchanges), a web standard that allows Google to prefetch entire pages from search results. This means that when you click a result, the page can open even if you're offline — because it was silently prefetched beforehand. In this demo, I push SXG to its limits by delivering a page with a 19 MB video — all before you go offline.
Also, none of my artist friends would say that they were being "taking advantage of". I have no idea why you'd try to connect the situation I've described in the US art world to communist dictators, other to make some facile point that isn't relevant or even correct.

Eventually agents from different providers will come into play. It's important to agree on a standard for accurate interoperability.

> Yihua combined hot air rework station + soldering station.

I personally wouldn't recommend this.

I have one, it cost just short of £100. But I much prefer my T12 based 'KSGER' soldering station that was $30 from banggood and has far better features, plus I don't have to worry about the heating element dying (since with T12 the element is part of the tip).

One day when I need hot air again, I'll probably think hard about finding a stand alone hot air station from banggood or aliexpress. I see they have some for $30.

Since the hot-air has all the critical parts in the hand unit, and the heating and fan often die randomly, having a 2-in-1 is just too much liability.

Btw, I recommend a butane soldering iron as a true 'backup' that doesn't even need a charged powertool battery.

I think you have cause and effect backwards. Trump pulled in Navarro because Navarro had the plan that Trump's been advocating for since the 80's. IOW, it's Trump's plan that Navarro is actualizing, not a plan that Navarro convinced Trump to make happen.

Trump's first term tariffs happened under Lighthizer, who was much more rational than both Trump & Navarro.
