Mbta commuter rail is not a good system. I tried it for a month (Fitchburg line), the train was scheduled once an hour and was regularly half an hour or more late. The passes were exorbitantly expensive, too; more than the cost of car ownership for the same route. I so badly want it to work, I love the idea of it, but the day to day experience is comically bad.
There may be a solo (not Han) movie good enough to compete in five years, but I doubt that Academy voters will be that welcoming of the tech that can obliterate most of their jobs by then.
I think the rollout is a bit messy (especially because it wasn't introduced as a new thing but kind of replaced an already highly used but different thing). There are pros and cons to that kind of rollout. The tooling is also yet to mature. And we're still figuring out how to educate people on it.

That said, I also think the basic concepts or RSC itself (not "rendering modes" which are a Next thing) are very simple and "up there" with closures, imports, async/await and structured programming in general. They deserve to be learned and broadly understood.
I don’t think anyone is claiming there’s secret industry on the islands. But a “data error” is probably understating it, that is what did actually appear on the bills of lading. Whether it was a bizarre innocent mistake or sort of some kind of financial scheme is unclear.

My girlfriend needed a humidifier last week. Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe's had mostly the same 2-3 brands of single-room humidifiers, most of which were no-name companies that apparently "specialize" in humidifiers (i.e. were spun up to be a shell for selling cheap humidifiers). We found one Honeywell branded one on sale and went with that since it's a legit brand; it was defective (lots of reviews online having the same issue), so we had to return it and make a decision between Walmart's Equate brand and one of the no-name ones from Target. She wasn't sure if she wanted a larger or smaller version of the no-name one, but we ended up not having an option because the Target shelf was empty of the smaller ones. Home Depot had the same model for $10 more, but we were at Target anyway because they at least had her second choice for color, while Home Depot only had her third.

In-person shopping has become just as crappy as online shopping, with a lot of the same problems regarding quality and brand control. The only difference ends up being less options (which could make the experience less stressful, except the options are usually presented in some form anyway, they're just not available, which makes it frustrating). It's largely thanks to big-box stores, but it's not like someone can just up and start a small shop to sell a particular niche of product (let alone all products) with higher quality as easily as you could with a website.
> His entire thesis that a single hyped company, that has no moat by the way, is some kind of single point of failure for the entire tech sector.

It's a perceptual/psychological point of failure, not an actual one. If OpenAI (the "blue chip" of AI) collapses, that will bring all other AI companies—both LLM providers and AI-powered apps—under scrutiny.

Not only that, but if OpenAI collapses in a way where their APIs become unavailable (not likely, but possible), all of the products that depend on those APIs will have to scramble to replace them. And replacing an LLM is tricky as parity between them on certain tasks is currently limited.

Keep in mind, tech is already in a shaky market. An insane amount of money has been pumped into tech (really, software) with relatively low ROI, both financially and societally. What looked like a burgeoning market was really just a lot of cheap money being pumped into massive gambles for ~10 years.

OpenAI collapsing would be a massive stain on the veracity of anything any tech company says. It could accidentally trigger a short-term stock market crash as investors panic flee from tech stocks. If it did, you can bet the vultures in the media will be running hit piece after hit piece about the unreliability of tech, the limited ROI, etc to get eyeballs. That will guaranteed cause mass panic among retail investors (and force the hand of institutional investors).
Not sure why the sarcasm. Do we keep picking up the tab until they're trampling the entire Bill of Rights?

Trump administration is both demanding a end to all DEI programs, and mandating "viewpoint diversity".

"Every department or field found to lack viewpoint diversity must be reformed by hiring a critical mass of new faculty within that department or field who will provide viewpoint diversity; every teaching unit found to lack viewpoint diversity must be reformed by admitting a critical mass of students who will provide viewpoint diversity. If the review finds that the existing faculty in the relevant department or field are not capable of hiring for viewpoint diversity, or that the relevant teaching unit is not capable of admitting a critical mass of students with diverse viewpoints, hiring or admissions within that department, field, or teaching unit shall be transferred to the closest cognate department, field, or teaching unit that is capable of achieving viewpoint diversity."

But... you also can't have any DEI programs.

Its someong taking something that exists in culture and is "cool" (dabbing) and doing it in a weird / lame / cringey way.

Similarly this site has a lot of the astehtic trappings and language of indieweb et al. but (IMO) doesn't stick the landing. And it comes off a little as the cool culture being exploited by someone who doesn't get it.

Idk if they're doing it in a greedy or sinister way, like when corporations co-opt social movements or big brands use the "quirky local indie" astehtic. It's probably someone well meaning with different taste than me. But the site does rub me the wrong way regardless
This seems to assume that everything can be imported or acquired domestically. But tariffs implemented in other countries are much more specific. It makes sense to use tariffs when you have the capability to meet your domestic demand with domestic supply. Indiscriminate tariffs catch things where demand far exceeds domestic production, whether that's raw materials, specific foods, or things that will take a long time to ramp up production domestically.

Ultimately, lots of things manufactured domestically will still increase in price because of the raw materials they require.

NLRB is a very important agency that I have known others to personally utilize because abuses of labor laws in the private sector, particularly poorly paid labor, is fairly common. These workers may face unfair treatment or wage theft, and the reason companies do it is because workers have very few genuine avenues of recourse. The NLRB is one of those few avenues of recourse.

We need a system so pervasive that if you order random devices from aliexpress they use it, and they cannot cause trouble because they're properly contained. It's not enough for you to have good security, you need to know your neighbours do too.

My vision of how this should work can be inferred from https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella Essentially in the future wherever we have WiFi APs those should also be media SFUs (and probably MQTT brokers or similar) where each client will only see the AP and things the applications running on the AP have explicitly allowed, including streams piped opaquely from anywhere else.

The idea that being connected to WiFi means ability to see other devices and the public internet needs to stop being the default.
> IP is such a stupid concept

It's been struggling since the internet became a thing. People got more content than they can consume. For any topic there are 1000 alternative sites, most of them free. Any new work competes against decades of backlog. Under this attention scarcity mode, artists devolve into enshittification because they hunt ad money, while royalties are a joke.

On the other hand, people stopped being passive consumers, we like to interact now. Online games, social networks, open source, wikipedia and scientific publication - they all run in a permissive mode. How could we do anything together if we all insisted on copyright protection?

We like to make most of our content ourselves, we don't need the old top-down model of content creation. We attach "reddit" to our searches because we value comments more than official sources. It's an interactive world where LLMs fit right in, being interactive and contextually adaptive.

I'm a lefty lib and, like lots of us, I've wanted restricted trade with China since we granted them MFN status in the '90s. I think that was a bad idea in the first place.

Neoliberalism is not popular and never was. Donors like it. Workers don't. The only reason either party could stick to it and still win elections, is because both stuck to it. Neither "defected".

Tariffing Canada and Mexico? The EU? Yeah, not so much. And it makes working against Chinese trade far less effective and more-costly.

Claiming these aren't a tax on Americans? That's just a lie. Chaotically switching your message and actual policies day to day? That's not how you foster investment in factories that'll take years to be net-profitable. Working against the CHIPS act? What the literal fuck, that's exactly the kind of thing you [edit: the "you" here is the administration and their boosters, not necessarily "you", the poster] claim to want! That was a really good idea!

So, I agree with a tiny amount of the overall policy, while finding its implementation incompetent, and the other parts to work so strongly against the effects of the part-I-like that I find desirable, that I doubt my motivations for wanting to reduce trade with developing authoritarian states and the administration's are even the same.
I mean yeah a lot of tech is doing is tinker toy BS. A lot of people in it to make money, not make the world better in any material way. To some extent that’s fine, but some people become deluded.

An age ago I took interest in KnockoutJS based on Model-View-ViewModel and found it pragmatic and easy to use. It was however at the beginning of the mad javascript framework-hopping marathon, so it was considered 'obsolete' after a few months. I just peeked, Knockout still exists.

So OP's statement is true for people who live IN the station.
while it may be true that the US is "insanely expensive" (citation needed!), i'm curious how you square that with the linked data showing a sharp drop-off since the beginning of the trump administration. is the theory that things have gotten much more expensive recently? why was travel from many EU countries actually up just before the trump administration took office?
I personally was intrigued by this by the first HN post months ago. Then I showed my wife the website, to which she said, "This looks like a parody product." If only it's more affordable.
I might be mistaking, but I don't see how this is novel. As far as I know, this has a proven DSP technique for ages, although it it usually only applied when a small amount of distinct frequencies need to be detected - for example DTMF.

When the number of frequencies/bins grows, it is computationally much cheaper to use the well known FFT algorithm instead, at the price of needing to handle input data by blocks instead of "streaming".

> The majority of Europe is composed of formally colonialist nations. I am sorry, but to quote you, "they have made their bed".

Colonized, but majority did not bring people over like US did with slavery. Colonizing a country in the past does not mean that country can now invade you. Anyone that was brought over during colonization time can stay, but that number is tiny.

> And, there is no American culture. We are a mixed and varied people.

Not anymore. Used to be a Christian nation with a mix of European culture - that's what it was founded on. This started to change after 1965 Immigration Act.

> why are they good? Who does this help

They are good because they preserve the nation's people. They help the nation.

> How does that bring economic and social prosperity to your nation?

Regarding social prosperity, take a look at London, Paris, NY, SF, Brussels, Berlin vs Warsaw, Prague, Helsinki. See which one is safer, see which one people are happier in, see which one is more socially prosperous.

Economic prosperity at the cost of your nation is not worth it. We don't need cheap food delivery.

> The US has had immigration on a level most European nations couldn't even fathom, and yet, economically we run laps around them.

And what has this economical prosperity brought you? Rampant crime, homelessness, zombie cities, healthcare accessible only to the wealthy, one of the biggest wealth inequality in the developed world.

Is it worth, sacrificing your country's identity so that the banker numbers go up? So that wall street makes more money?

Habeas corpus was a universal right under English common law (and statute). Anybody who was detained (including in preparation to deport them) could demand a hearing to determine whether that detention was lawful. Even if the sovereign had total discretion to deport aliens, there was still a requirement to show that the person was in fact an alien. And one of the 17th century habeas acts (1679?) had severe penalties for hustling somebody out of the country as a way of avoiding the hearing.

If the review finds that the existing faculty in the relevant department or field are not capable of hiring for viewpoint diversity, or that the relevant teaching unit is not capable of admitting a critical mass of students with diverse viewpoints, hiring or admissions within that department, field, or teaching unit shall be transferred to the closest cognate department, field, or teaching unit that is capable of achieving viewpoint diversity."

Yes, everyone I know of has been rehired. They're rare talent. Moreover, there are serious security implications if they e.g. emigrated to China. Not sure on short or long term contractually, but I know all of them are now looking at this as a stepping stone to private industry. (Though I suppose they're technically already there.)

>When you have a post with a like button and the user presses the like button, how do the like button props update?

Right, so there's actually a few ways to do this, and the "best" one kind of depends on the tradeoffs of your UI.

Since Like itself is a Client Component, it can just hit the POST endpoint and update its state locally. I.e. without "refreshing" any of the server stuff. It "knows" it's been liked. This is the traditional Client-only approach.

Another option is to refetch UI from the server. In the simplest case, refetching the entire screen. Then yes, new props would be sent down (as JSON) and this would update both the Like button (if it uses them as its source of truth) and other UI elements (like the highlights you mentioned). It'll just send the entire thing down (but it will be gracefully merged into the UI instead of replacing it). Of course, if your server always returns an unpredictable output (e.g. a Feed that's always different), then you don't want to do that. You could get more surgical with refreshing parts of the tree (e.g. a subroute) but going the first way (Client-only) in this case would be easier.

In other words, the key thing that's different is that the client-side things are highly dynamic so they have agency in whether to do a client change surgically or to do a coarse roundtrip.
