You should read the htmx “book” (https://hypermedia.systems/ ) where the use case is clearly explained. It advocates for using htmx to enhance a page with more interactivity by extending html semantics and behaviours a bit (thus requiring minimum effort and learning curve) and move to more heavyweight client-side front end stuff (react and friends) if more interactivity or complex behaviours are needed.

You can whip up a simple html form and spruce it up with htmx so it feels “modern” to current users, with little effort and changes and importantly without having to learn the insanity that are modern front end stacks. Not only curmudgeons from the 90s like me benefit from this!
Maybe that's just the sidequest. The real quest is getting multi planetar.
> What the post should say is "we know that this is unfair to artists, but the tech companies are making too much money from them and we have no way to force them to change".

It seemed a fact of life that companies will just abuse your personal data to their liking and can do what they want with information they collect about you because "if it's free, you're the product" (and even if you paid for it, "you should know better" etc). Then GDPR and its international derivatives came along and changed that.

It seemd a fact of life that companies that technically don't have an actual market monopoly can do whatever they want within their vertically integrated walled gardens because competitors can just create their own vertically integrated walled gardens to compete with them and the rules for markets don't apply to walled gardens. Then the DSA and DMA came along and changed that.

I don't see why legislation can't change this, too. Of course just with the GDPR, DSA and DMA we'll hear from libertarians, megacorps and astroturf movements how unfair it all is to mom & pop startups and how it's going to ruin the economy but I think given the angle grider the US is currently taking to its own economy (and by extension the global economy because we're all connected), I think that's no longer a valid argument in politics.
> If "those who they are able to effectively interact with" ends up meaning only people who look, act, or believe like them, then yes it absolutely is.

It's everyone. You don't get to cherry pick.

That's why hiring managers should focus on soft skills. Their job is to hire the guy that fits in your organization and everyone in it is able to effortlessly work with. When hiring managers do their job, you don't need to go way out of your way to suffer toxic people who are utterly unpleasant to work with. Hiring managers filter them out. Problem averted.

The thing is, in Europe at least, it was never about Tesla, it was always about Elon Musk doing the so called "roman salute", doing stuff that borders on election interference in Germany with the AfD, and Vance just kinda made it worse, which somehow also backfired on Elon.

The reason people in europe are not buying Teslas is because of Elon Musk, and regarding short memories, just about everybody i know, technically skilled or not, still knows that Steve Jobs was "the face of Apple", despite some of them not even being born when he died. People remember Elon Musk the same way with Tesla, and i don't see that going away soon.

Wha- wha- what? I tried to generate an image in ChatGPT after the announcement a while back and the image wasn't bad, but the text on it (numbers) was nonsense. (Analog gauge with nonsense numbers instead of e.g. 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.)

Gave it another chance now, explicitly calling out the numbers. Well, they are improved but not sure how useful this result is (the spacing between numbers is a little off and there's still some curious counting going on. Maybe it kind of looks like the numbers are pasted in after the fact?

That's the main reason people have so mixed opinions about the language.

If you're stuck with the standard library (hello gsub!) and the application-specific library is an incoherent collection of functions, you're going to have a really bad time. That's the case too often because it's easier to plug the VM into an existing program than it is to create bindings that are not painful to use.

OTOH a well thought out environment makes you forget you're programming in Lua.

Given the fact that the central government uses taxes to fund the creation and managements of a countries currency, it makes perfect sense that in the digital age it should also be funding the infrastructure to send digital transactions with that currency.

That's fair. I do wish error handling in Rust were easier (try blocks have been in "unstable" for almost a decade). Panicking probably shouldn't have existed in the first place.
Can you please read my comments in this thread in full and not just pick some parts of them?

I already explained that most businesses are not experts in privacy and usually become non-compliant accidentally, without malicious intent. If a plumber goes to some advertisement platform to promote their services online, they are not making fully informed decision with regards to privacy implications. They buy promises of lower CACs. They do not buy the storage of PII, neither they fully understand that targeted advertisement involves storage and processing of PII.
And regulation requires them to either fully understand the process or spend money on external consultant. That's stupid: GDPR moved the responsibility to protect human rights from those who aggregate a lot of data to a little guy. What really should have been done is requirement for MarTech to support "Do not track" on protocol level and risk being fined or banned from EU. It does not make sense to ask users again and again on different websites if they are ok with tracking by FancyMarTech LLC, when those users already gave the answer somewhere.

It's just one example. And then there's a case with storing PII in Google Spreadsheet: everyone does that. Nobody mentions that in their privacy policy, even if DPO is involved. And probably they should not. Regulation should also consider the public risk. If one of those millions spreadsheets with a hundred names is leaked, let's fine the owner, sure. But let's not make a big compliance process for every owner of those millions spreadsheets. Let's say: Dear Google, if you want to work in EU, you cannot share the data of EU users with NSA or anyone. Keep it safe. Figure this out, we don't care how. We really should put 99% of compliance burden on processors and spare controllers.
The judiciary is (thankfully) the most undemocratic institution in Britain. It functions well because it is undemocratic. It has no place being democratic. In no sense does its effectiveness indicate a healthy democracy.

Ok, so your list of “normal” frontend doesn’t support your original point:

”you want to push as much logic to the client”

React and Next have been moving in the opposite direction with SSR.

As I said, there isn’t a single right answer. Client-only vanilla JS offers one solution, hybrid SSR like Next/React offers another, and Htmx yet another with different tradeoffs on the same spectrum.
How else does an LLM distinguish what is widely known, given there are no statistics collected on the general populations awareness of any given celebrities vices? Robo-apologetics in full force here.
From my experience with people who’ve spent years over there, there isn’t much desire for refugees to stay and become citizens. They are perceived by the voting public as competing for jobs. Jobs are perceived as scarce.

It is politically far more popular to run on a platform of getting rid of refugees and refugee camps.

There is also a very widespread perception that refugee camps are about making money for corrupt politicians and contractors, and that the UN or America or the EU or something is paying a lot of money and pays per head. So the public feels that more refugees = more corrupt money lining politicians’ pockets.

Against this context, there is no political future for “liberalising working rights” and “providing a path to citizenship”.
All you know about an old person is they’ve lived - and survived - longer than someone who is not so old.

That can have a lot of different meanings.
> Do you have a theory about when certain LLM capabilities emerge?

We do know how LLMs work, correct? We also know what they are capable of and what not (of course this line is often blurred by hype).

I am not an expert at all on LLMs or neuroscience. But it is apparent that having a discussion with a human vs. with an LLM is a completely different ballpark. I am not saying that we will never have technology that can "understand" and "think" like a human does. I am just saying, this is not it.

Also, just because a lot of progress in LLMs has been made in the past 5 years, that we can just extrapolate the future progress on this. Local maxima and technology limits are a thing.
> Pix has spiced up Brazil’s fusty banking sector, but it gives the central bank a worrying amount of power

Yes, now in Brazil you can hardly find anyone not using Pix. It is all digital and free. Even in Argentina and Paraguay, many local merchants are now accepting Pix.

I'm not too worried about your average "small scale" criminal suddenly becoming a criminal mastermind, but organized crime will certainly adopt safer ways of communicating, and those are the people you want to catch with electronic surveillance.

The small scale criminals usually leaves plenty of other clues that will allow the police to capture them.
I find it unlikely that someone who was willing to pay an artist for a charcoal sketch would be satisfied with an AI alternative.

You don't just buy art for the aethstetic, you buy it for a lot of reasons and AI doesn't give any of the same satisfaction.
I don't really disagree with you, but I was also making a slightly different point. If you need absolute memory safety, you can use Rust (without ever using unsafe)

But you get 99% this way with C, a bit of discipline, and tooling and this also means maintaining a super clean code base with many warnings activated even though they cause false positives. My point is that these false positives are not a valid argument why this strategy does not work or is inferior.

Your claim is that it is inferior because you only get 99% of safety and not 100%. But one can question whether you actually get 100% in Rust in practice in a project of relevant size and complexity, due to FFI and unsafe. One can also question whether 100% memory safety is all that important when there also many other issues to look out for, but this is a different argument.
> I think it's Linux on Z that makes it sexy and keeps it young

They feel fantastic when running Linux, but, if you don't need all the reliability features that come with the platform, commodity hardware might be a better choice for the kind of workload that has evolved on Linux.

> Depending on your workload there may be very good economical reasons to consider a mainframe instead of a number of rack-frames.

Absolutely - it makes a lot of the administrative toil disappear. I know clusters are sexy, but getting the job done is always better.

Tiger Global, Seqouia, and Khosla Ventures invested in a lot of Brazilian fintech and neobank startups in the early/mid 2010s the same way they did in Indian fintech and what became IndiaStack in the early 2010s, and China's equivalent in the late 2000s.

YC has also been very active in the space in both markets by the late 2010s.

A lot of the work around Pix is largely thanks to the fact that neobanks like Nubank have become very competitive in the Brazilian market, and helped set higher consumer and business expectations for transaction processing and management.
I've been living in Brazil for the last 20 years.

Pix revolutionised the way we transact in Brazil. I've used Pix to pay for things that cost only cents, and I have a friend who bought her house using Pix. The system just works for any transfer amount. And it's so easy to use.

Its speed is truly baffling, and so is its reliability. Never have I failed to make a Pix payment because of downtime. I never cease to be amazed by how fast money arrives in my Brazilian account when I make a withdrawal directly from my EUR wallet on Wise. I receive a push notification from my Brazilian bank before Wise finishes running the animation of confirmation of withdrawal. It's like magic.

And it's so widespread that nowadays I don't even question whether someone accepts Pix. When I get in a taxi, no matter how old the driver is, it's certain that they take (and prefer) Pix.

I've even had homeless people ask me for Pix instead of change on multiple occasions.

Cryptocurrencies don't stand a chance.
Payment systems take huge fees. It is always good if they get back to the country and not elsewhere. Digital paying is something fundamental. Like electricity.
Cars are *expensive*. If I was in the market for a car I’d absolutely buy a Tesla for below market price, eg a model 3 for less than a comparable Corolla. Seems like that very well could be a reality soon.

It doesn't matter - they still support client-side rendering, the other frameworks I listed are still client-side-rendering focused, and I explicitly enumerated vanilla webtech where that's the norm.

Said responsibility can remain the choice of the consumer: producer must accept repair/replacement if consumer brings it back to them, but consumer is not forced to bring it back to them if anything goes wrong. Consumer may also choose to self-repair, sell, etc. Perhaps consumer must bring it back to dispose of it though, as nobody benefits from hucking it directly into a landfill.

The other difference between "renting" from the producer is that the producer isn't collecting any rent, only initial purchase.. and that producer cannot claim the item back whenever they please.

Standard workflow in Brazil:

- You need to buy something from person XZ, whether an individual, small business, or huge business.

- XZ sends you an invoice (including relevant taxes).

- You pay the invoice. XZ knows you’ve paid.

- At year end you can download all your invoices, including any taxes already paid, for doing your taxes. (Brazil taxes make American taxation look simple.)

Standard workflow in America:

- “Do you want cash, mail a check, or PayPal/Venmo/Cashapp?”

- “Umm do PayPal but friends and family please… also it’s at my wife’s email that still has her maiden name”

- Zero detail on invoice (maybe a receipt printed on thermal paper or a random email) which you lose by tax time
I suspect the main reason isn't just strictly economical. If you are Google or some such you can probably compensate by building smart software around commodity hardware, but most companies simply can't. Even if they have boatloads of money (banking, insurance) and can hire expensive talent, they simply can't successfully complete such an undertaking because they don't have it in their DNA, and management isn't incentivised to take on such a risky project.

In this case they will just use a mainframe, even it isn't cheaper in the long run.

> And there is no OS I'm aware of that will threaten Unix's dominance any time soon.

Depends on the point of view, and what computing models we are talking about.

While iDevices and Android have UNIX like bottom layer, the userspace has nothing to do with UNIX, developed in a mix of Objective-C, Swift, Java, Kotlin and C++.

There is no UNIX per se on game consoles, and even on Orbit OS, there is little of it left.

The famous Arduino sketches are written in C++ not C.

Windows, dominant in games industry to the point Valve failed to attract developers to write GNU/Linux games, and had to come up with Proton instead, it is not UNIX, the old style Win32 C code has been practically frozen since Windows XP, with very few additions, as since Windows Vista it became heavily based on C++ and .NET code.

macOS while being UNIX certified, the userspace that Apple cares about, or NeXT before the acquisition, has very little to do with UNIX and C, rather Objective-C, C++ and Swift.

On the cloud native space, with managed runtimes on application containers or serverless, the exact nature of the underlying kernel or type 1 hypervisor is mostly irrelevant for application developers.

>> it's unfair for artists to have their works sucked up

What framework can we use to decide if something is fair or not?

Style is not something that should be copyrighted. I can pain in the style of X painter, I can write in the style of Y writer, I can compose music in the style of Z composer.

Everything has a style. Dressing yourself has a style. Speaking has a style. Even writing mathematical proofs can have a style.

Copying another person's style might reflect poor judgement, bad taste and lack of originality but it shouldn't be illegal.

And anyone in the business of art should have much more than a style. He should have original ideas, a vision a way to tell stories, a way to make people ask themselves questions.

A style is merely a tool. If all someone has is a style, then good luck!
I think it's an important concern, but is this the best forum?
> I haven't see any details on how OpenAI's model works

Exactly. People just confidently make things up. There are many possible ways, and without details, "native generation" is just a marketing buzzword without clear definition. It's a proprietary system, there is no code release, there is no publication. We simply don't know how exactly it's done.
