My Emacs wouldn’t be the same without Prots modus themes[1], which I found to be a great foundation to build my own theme on top of. I am grateful for all the work he did for the Emacs community.

I also enjoy watching his videos where he talks about various philosophical topics from a very clear, pragmatic and down-to-earth perspective. My impression is that he is a really kind and humble person and that he lives by his philosophical insights, without bragging about his lifestyle or judging about how other people live their lifes.

Can you provide any source in history where someone said they identified with being a blind follower?
This is exactly the strategy but it is failing miserably.

The reason for the pivot was because the 10-30 year yields didn't come down, the price on the 30 year got crushed. The 30 year almost went back to the lows.

There was literally no flight to safety. Completely the opposite.
How many of these "millions" that are cut, is actual food for starving people in 3rd world? If it's that good, how much did they closer neighbors contribute?
I mean, panic attacks where you hyperventilate are basically the drowning reflex going off. So given that a lot of the dreams in our case were literally suffocating (drowning, etc.), I'm pretty sure that some part of the brain gets awakened enough to realize something, if not exactly what.

I still am not going to rent software like this. I get why you need MRR or something, but if that’s the case sell me the product-$30? $40?-after a brief trial, and promise a year? the next major version (or at least a year)? of upgrades.

Then don’t cause major versions casually, and charge a reasonable upgrade fee when more value is delivered with a major upgrade.

I get that you have expenses, and things like servers cost money-but you’re not providing the server here.

My copy of The C++ Programming Language for C++98 is still useful today, as is copy of The C Programming Language for C89. The idea that these books are no longer useful is absurd. Modern compilers still support those versions and the new versions are largely extensions of the old (although C++11 changed some standard library definitions). The only way you could think this is if you have zero knowledge of these languages.

Sounds like you want to make an "app store" for the kind of FaaS that you've developed.

Maybe the industry has moved forward but from 2010-2015 when I was interested in this sort of thing there seemed to be a zillion products aimed at the API economy, some venture backed, some of which spent an fortune on annoying ads and blog sponsorship (spam?) which supported numerous "I could care less" and "nice to have" features but none addressed the problem of billing people and taking payment for an API -- the one feature which you need to have a business.
I use iced, the idea behind is great - elm architecture. However, the attitude of maintainer that doesn’t bother to be involved in discussions in their discord and merge behemoth size changes with no review makes me think more and more if it’s a good choice.

I recently started looking at the xilem which is also elm architecture inspired abd being developed openly and with proper engineering practices, however it is at very early stages just yet.
Don’t do this. When you open source stuff you want to monetize, people will take it and not pay you. This is not ideal, but real.

If you released the code do it under a non permissive, commercial license and add license key activation and telemetry. Don’t let anyone use it for free. If you want to be generous give people a temp SaaS free tier. Don’t trade your time and IP for Stars, trade it for dollars.

People will not reciprocate if you just give them avenues to free use. they will take, then act entitled if you ever charge. Keep it locked solid from the start.

That other thing to avoid is companies that try to use contracts or employment to rip off your IP because they assume that as you are a developer building stuff you’re an easy mark. Protect yourself from such abusers. Many “legitimate” companies use highly shady practices to try to exploit the individual selling good IP.

Just use one of the good ideas and productize the shit out of it. You got this.
Oh interesting, look it's our empathy beacon right here.

Have you ever tried to figure out where did these money go? People like you keep parroting "feeding children", but when I read actual list of orgs funded by USAID, it's all nice words and stock pictures with very little actual data.

Yes, I look for metrics like for that N million dollars M thousand kids were fed. Without that it looks like corrupt sink hole, that it actually is.

Learn empathy, send me $100 monthly, I promise to spend them for good.

> I actually like XML. It isn't "cool" like YAML anymore, but it has better tooling support (e.g. schema checking) and doesn't try to be too clever. Just try to stay away from namespaces and don't be afraid of using attributes.

I agree with this (even though, In practice I usually just use JSON or YAML) - it avoids some of the pitfalls of both JSON and YAML - has comments, lacks ambiguity. The main annoyances are textContent (is whitespace important?), attributes vs children, verbosity of closing tags, etc.
I saw a video recently advocating for this exact use case of said PC. That would make it truly pocketable.

I've read about Anubis, cool project! Unfortunately, as pointed out in the comments, requires your site's visitors to have Javascript™ enabled. This is totally fine for sites that require Javascript™ anyway to enhance the user experience, but not so great for static sites and such that require no JS at all.

I built my own solution that effectively blocks these "Bad Bots" at the network level. I effectively block the entirety of several large "Big Tech / Big LLM" networks entirely at the ASN (BGP) by utilizing MaxMind's database and a custom WAF and Reverse Proxy I put together.
This.

Why can the hospital in France (even the private one) tell me ahead of time how much something will cost, while American providers will scream that this is absolutely impossible to do?
Really nice! I had this idea since years. A simple open source tool that may replace the random websites for file conversions in small and middle companies. The traffic from the search engine results may be redirected to an internsl tool with a proxy for example.
TIL! Will have to try Yaupon tea some time as well.
There's plenty of that on Mastodon, as well. I think it's the format itself that encourages this kind of "community".

Le Grand Paris...mostly doesn't involve Paris, as it's a new metro loop around it.

Besides, what your say about the speed limit is false, the mayor didn't wait for the State's answer and decided unilaterally. The State and the region didn't agree with her:
https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2024/09/09/anne-hid...
https://www.lepoint.fr/politique/la-region-ile-de-france-ref...

You can consider as much as you want, it is not unified. The result is that Paris has an anti-car policy, but the neighboring towns are very pro-car, creating a system where Parisians can't own one, but have to bear their neighbor's who use them to get into the city.
What I described happens in the raw offline model too. Those don't have post-inference heuristics such as those you described, implying the bias is baked in the training data or fine tuning steps.
I wrote a new daemon in C the other day. Plenty of people will continue to write software in C. Some will even write it in C++. There is nothing you can write that will convince the world to stop writing software in these languages. We went through this once with Java. We are going through it with Rust. We will go through it with Zig or whatever it is that people say everyone should adopt next instead of Rust and all else that came before it.
I reckon if this is really a big concern for anybody, then they are probably writing way too much YAML to begin with. If you're being caught out by things like this and need to debug it, then it maps very cleanly to types in most high level languages and you can generate your YAML from that instead.
My view- she, like many, has been conditioned by social media to optimize for clicks by having contrarian and anti-establishment views. She's not positioned to have a particularly well-researched opinion on 95%+ of the topics she covers (which is understandable considering how many hundreds of videos she has made). I watched her for a bit, but stopped when I researched a topic deeper and found her analysis very superficial. Physics is a huge field. Think it is always better to find experts in a particular subfield and hear their views, rather than follow the feed of someone who repeatedly expresses the "everyone else is wrong" schtick
How do you know it's an LLM and not a VPN? How do you use this MaxMind's database to isolate LLMs?
In COBOL’s case, nobody really wanted to write software in it in the first place. People used assembly or FORTRAN at the time. MBAs wanted a language corporate secretaries could use, so they made COBOL. It failed at its main purpose, but since IBM pushed it for business processing, people were coerced into writing software with it since if they did not use it, they would not have a job. As the industry developed, they stopped finding new people that they could coerce into using it and the old people started retiring/dying. Unlike COBOL adoption, C and C++ adoption occurred because software engineers wanted to use them due to merit.
Yes, because angry rants and lynch mobs have an inherent advantage when it comes to which content spreads better.

That's what you get for electing a president with the intelectual and emotional maturity of a 5 year old.

Hi! I’m AJ, one of the founders of TripJam.

Our idea was a better travel group chat that takes you from the planning phase all the way to communicating during the trip itself.

We’re still trying to find our first users and looking for any feedback!
Afterthought: I realize my reading of the original post should have been more attentive;

nonetheless, I would still object that the ideas proposed (e.g. "reproduction" and "paraphrasing") cannot be taken without further specification. The fault is not at that generic level. And the context we should be after should not be this provisional one, of an unfinished technology.
Really what they should do is use some management site to simultaneously post to Facebook/X. What will be really stupid is when Democrats take office, and then they change to some other site, and then Republicans take office, and they return everything to X.

The goal should be to maximize access at minimal cost. Social media posts maximize access, and it's not hard to post to multiple sites at once. There are a million different tools for it, and it could be as simple as the social media maintainer posting twice
Are they trying to imply that natural language is easier than wysiwyg? What in the AI-hype-cycle is this? There’s a time and place for everything, but the idea that wysiwyg or other visual forms of code editing are dead is insanity. I think one of the amazing things about the AI “LLMs will replace everything’s hype is just how bad natural language so often is.
I thought genini 2 flash API was free (for personal use at least)? I just created an iOS shortcut to call it, and didn’t pay anything.
It's a reference to a movie called "Empire of Dust" where a chinese-led team has a hard time building infrastructure in Africa.

Whether or not some third world country is worth developing is an economic question, not a moral one. And even if it is, the question of whether or not you will be able to monetize that relationship by the end of it is another one. What the chinse are doing now is basically IMF-style debt trapping of other nations, which doesn't seem like a successful strategy historically.

The bottom line is that if the natives don't want to cooperate with whatever civilization you're building, it's not going to work out. Look at what happened to the USA in afganistan (and pretty much every empire that stepped foot in there). I don't think that's racist, I think it is pretty optimistic outlook towards the sovereignty of nations.

There is a really great movie called Bitter Lake about this, by Adam Curtis.
I'm not sure "total" vs "turing-complete" should be a huge difference - just terminate with an error after X seconds.

For example, can "total programming languages" include: "for i in range(10000000000000): do_something()"?

If so, your config file can still hang - even though it provably terminates.
They should've called it the Tesla Cyberinal.

I have very two kids, plan to have three. Cargo bikes are not practical, are easily stolen, and are not safe to transport children, especially under 6 years old. Besides, when doing groceries for 5 once a week, I regularly fill my 500L car boot, so an equivalent cargo bike with at least 3 seats and a large boot... would just be a car. Which you have, and use once a week.

Or when you need to go to the doctor. Or when your wife is sick. Or if you have an urgency. So, as a family, you still need a car.
For posterity, I repeat here my entire response to your email, omitting only the signature where no new information is present:

> Is that all? You mistake your opinions for facts, and when motivated you freely ignore the difference between an author's voice and that of a viewpoint character. This you share with millions, and feel the need to be secretive about? I thought you had something serious to talk about. Go away.
The choice between 4 and 5 is more about what you get to avoid. By choosing level 5 you are opening the possibility to make some really complicated configurations and many more footguns. When you stay at level 4 you're forced into using more "standardised" blocks of code that can easily be looked up online and understood.

Level 4 is also far more declarative by nature, you cannot fully compute stuff so a lot is abstracted away declaratively. This also leads to simpler code since you're less encouraged to get into the weeds of instantiation and rather just declare what you'd like.

Overall it's about forcing simplicity by not allowing the scope of possibilities to explode. Certainly there are cases where you can't represent problems cleanly, but I think that tradeoff is worth it because of lowered complexity.

Another benefit of level 4 is that it's easier for your code can stay the same while changing the underlying system you're configuring. Since there's a driver layer between the level 4 configuration and the system which can (ideally) be swapped out.
I read this article (and others) and I am still unclear. I thought this whole idiotic crusade applied only to newly born children. It never even crossed my mind that you could revoke citizenship from your citizens. I mean, the principle of non-retroactivity dates back to the Roman Empire.
If you want to make nice looking materials and effects, you need a combination of good lighting (comes from the rendering engine, not the material), and artistic capabilities/talent. Art is a lot harder to teach than programming I feel, or at least I don't know how to teach it.

Programming the shaders themselves are pretty simple imo, they're just pure functions that return color data or triangle positions. The syntax might be a little different than you're used to depending on the shader language, but it should be easy enough to pick up in a day.

If you want to write compute shaders for computation, then it gets a lot more tricky and you need to spend some time learning about memory accesses, the underlying hardware, and profiling.
Is there something I don't know about mechanical watch culture/industry that would explain their terrible choice of watch band in those photos?
Eventually you can actually figure out those errors!
I know you're being poetic, but please don't dumpsterize that stuff. There are many people who would travel quite far to save it. Nobody is making any more of that old stuff, and it sounds like you might have some items of historical value.
The ex suffix could also come from Elixir (its a common pattern in many libraries)
I don't distinguish actually. There are two things I do normally:

- Block Bad Bots. There's a simple text file called `bad_bots.txt`
- Block Bad ASNs. There's a simple text file called `bad_asns.txt`

There's also another for blocking IP(s) and IP-ranges called `bad_ips.txt` but it's often more effective to block an much larger range of IPs (At the ASN level).

To give you an concrete idea, here's some examples:

You nailed it.

In addition, they're absolutely correct, some subset of particle researchers were wish-casting for SUSY stuff.

In addition, there's a significant substantive difference between "$X was defined and built for discovering $Y" and "some subset of $X hoped for proof of their theory $Y via $Z being discovered" -- there was also some subset that hoped for proof of string theory, or innumerable other things.

In general they're right and know their stuff if they're able to have this detailed of a take, but the actual claim "The word "expected" is doing a lot of work.", is doing a lot of work. And I was there. In a graduate physics lab with multiple faculty members on the LHC before it opened, including a big SUSY fan who thought that'd be a bank shot on a bank shot outcome, maybe. Hoped for by some? Yes. Expected by a majority? Absolutely not.
Thanks for posting this! I'd be very interested in more real-life usage comments from people, I don't trust YouTube "reviewers" (who get stuff for free and want cosy relationships with companies).

I wonder specifically if their high-end devices (Xreal One Pro?) would be OK for some amount of coding work, or is it just a movie-watching screen. Even if it is only for watching movies, it might still be interesting for flights, though.
Now I want to say this as polite as possible, but I think you might be under false impressions as to what this site is. It might look like "Reddit, but for IT", but many people here are very, very particular about protocol. You can disagree with people, in fact, it's good to have people disagree with what you are sharing because it allows you to explain and strengthen your position.

The "rant" is not a bug, it is a feature. The only reason I frequent this website is for the prolific pontification on random topics. There aren't many other places I can find such a high concentration of people with an above average intelligence sharing their internal thoughts and opinions in relatively neutral/objective forum.

I'm a lurker. I don't really post much, because I often don't have much of value to contribute that hasn't already be said. The most valuable aspect of HN is it's dicussions. I've found so many useful bits of info in the comments of seemingly unrelated articles.

> Don't you get sick of trying to use chatbots that don't work? Are you not fed up of calling calling CS hotlines and spending loads of money on it?

You aren't going to convince many people here with a call to action like this, especially after calling a relatively civil discussion between users to be "ranting". Show us why we should care based on the merits of the product at hand. If someone pokes holes in it, defend that feature or accept the criticism. Candidly, I don't even really know much about your product because your behavior here turned me off from even clicking the link.

The message I'm responding to reads as petulant or indignant, which is not a good look if you are attempting to cultivate an audience here. I see your previous response to my commentary on the topic of certain punctuation making human written text look similar to LLM output appears to have broken a rule and subsequently got removed, which is also concerning.

Overall, it may just be best to cut your losses today and stop arguing with every critique/criticism. Maybe a do a bit more research about your audience next time. I say this as someone who has been in your shoes before. Not trying to be a dick. Treat it as a learning experience.
I believe I have been more efficient with the Epson Moverio (1280x720, black-transparent OLED, Android, 5hrs battery, palm-sized processing unit with buttons and trackpad). Put the glasses on, the processing unit in a pocket (thumb on the controls), and you can walk around processing data overlaid to the scenery.

But, like all tools, they are optimal for some tasks and inefficient for others. I never had the time to try and implement text-to speech, to overcome the absence of a practical keyboard (the on-screen one can only be an emergency tool) - with that, the system would have been much more flexible.
> maintaining the illusion that "he's fighting for people like me"

There is no illusion - if Trump was a profesional working in any trade, the plebs wouldn't hire him, yet they elected him president.

It's just that the plebs think Trumps is the aristocrat most like them, and by electing him they somehow screw the arisrocrats over.
Have you heard the engineering adage "the purpose of a system is what it does"?

Second-guessing the motivations of the Trump administration is tiresome. Let's just judge it by what it does and its effects, both speak for themselves.
