> The USPS has this service called "Informed Delivery" where they scan the front-side of every mailpiece and send it to my email and a dashboard on their website. So every service day, they literally email me images of what my physical postal mailbox will receive later in the day. It's not farfetched. The USPS has been running electronic scanning for internal purposes for decades, and they have perfected OCR for address recognition and routing.

Yeah, that's electronic real mail, not paper email. It's irrelevant to the term you attempted to use. "Paper email" would be printing out an email and sending it on paper instead, which is not what you were referring to (which is why it didn't make sense as a term to use).

You said "I still receive paper email in the USPS." The USPS is not printing out emails and delivering them to you on paper. Therefore, that statement was incorrect (nonsensical).
Sure, it would be just cool to not have to do that
So I showed my doctor sources from the NHS (I'm not in England), and he agreed to do it, although I had to obviously pay out of pocket. There's also no safety limit for age[1], so there's no reason not to give it to you if you pay for it.

In your analysis, do you account for the time taken to type a detailed specification with which to prompt the LLM?

Or the time to review the code - whether by manual fixes, or iterating with the prompt, or both?
There’s a big risk that you end up creating a scheme to compensate for technological disruption in one industry and then fail to do so in another, based on the political clout / mindshare / media attention each has - and then there are many people in even worse personal situations (through no fault of their own) who would also miss out.

Wouldn’t a better alternative be to work on improving social safety nets for everybody, as opposed to providing a bespoke one for a single industry?
> although I'd argue that point for many things, these systems often can surf the web, can locate sites, can take images as input and already know many major themes and major sites.

But that's not what's being offered here, and my bet is it won't be. It's more lucrative for businesses to put out LLM freemium shovelware and claim it replaces people than do the enormous work of developing the custom models that actually can.

As a photographer, I have a love/hate relationship with Adobe. I’m not a fan of many aspects of their business, but Lightroom is a (sometimes) excellent product.

On the one hand, I don’t have much sympathy for Adobe. On the other hand, this whole situation is why I am not on social media these days with the exception of HN and niche subreddits.

Even if much of the criticism they receive is warranted, the social media climate is just so incredibly toxic that I want no part of it.

Feels like there has to be a better way to be social on the Internet, but as time goes on I’m increasingly not sure if humans can handle it once a certain scale is reached.
Obviously not. It is clearly physically impossible and non-sensical.

Dev Tools Honeytrap: Why We Can't Stop Building Tools Nobody Buys
Because switching to a competitors option is a much bigger task that just staying on whichever version you’re on currently, which you can’t do anymore since Adobe only offers subscriptions.

Switching to a different creative software solution is a much bigger task than just buying the new license and installing the program. You have to relearn basic tasks that are second nature in the other thing, change workflows due to different file formats or you might just not have the option to because the rest of the industry depends on the competitors software.
This is true for individual professionals as well as big companies, where switching to a different software package also means dropping efficiency for a while and hiring people to teach your employees your new software. This is a step that no company will ever take and Adobe has recognized that and taken away the only opt-out of paying them assloads forever, which was buying a perpetual license and staying on that version.
Even if things are on the same trust level that doesn't mean that if one gets compromised I don't care that it affects the 2nd.

TBH no we haven't considered them. Our initial approach is to keep things as simple as possible and have everything performance critical in one language and if possible in the same process (which is not the case for now). Having said that, if we see that there are better alternatives that will make the project easier to maintain and develop, we will apply them.

Datastar is fully plugin based. If you don't like my take on SSE, cool let's talk. The core is just making data-* attribute into reactive expressions, everything else is a plugin by design. I want it to be OK for me to be wrong without losing the declarative approach
Meh. Adobe is a large corp. You'd want want them to masquerade as something they are not? Why would that be better?

Scrapes are cached, it is too expensive and too long to do them on-demand based on a live query. Lots of sites change designs frequently and don't output semantic code in the html source either.

> You can create a long-distance transmission line from New York to Florida, but it's winter in Florida at the same time as it's winter in New York.

On 21 December, the day is about 77 minutes longer in Miami than in NYC, and panels in Miami aren't going to be covered in snow.

> Can you create a long distance transmission line from New York to Brazil?

Yes. $$$.

Spend enough (production is high enough for this, yes I have checked, it's just how much money you want to spend) and it could be from NYC to Perth Australia.

This is a thing I really don't get. People are like "but what about the hiring pool". A competent software engineer will learn your stack. It's not that hard to switch languages. Except maybe going from Python to C++.
The previous theory, it seems to me, is that crustaceans and insects were separate -- that is, they shared a common ancestor, but each is a clade. The new idea is that insects are slotted inside the larger tree of crustaceans, and are more related to some crustaceans than to others.

It's a minor point in the article, but sending a RequestID to the server so that you get request/response cycles isn't weird nor beyond the pale.

It's pretty much always worth it to have an API like `send(message).then(res => ...)` in a serious app.

But I agree. The upgrade request is confusing, and it's annoying how your websocket server is this embedded thing running inside your http server that never integrates cleanly.

Like instead of just reusing your middleware that reads headers['authorization'] from the websocket request, you access this weird `connectionParams` object that you pretend are request headers, heh.

But the idiosyncrasies aren't that big of a deal (ok, I've just gotten used to them). And the websocket browser API is nicer to work with than, say, EventSource.
Ehhh…too easy.

The trick is to make the connection stateless, i.e. any client can connect to any server (just like plain HTTP). Then when there's a new deployment the websocket connection will be terminated and the client can reconnect instantly, automatically finding the next available server.
I'd be interested to know of applications where RxInfer (or similar approximate variational inference approaches) has been demonstrated to perform much better than competing Bayesian inference approaches -- in the sense of a combined performance, accuracy & maintainability/stability engineering tradeoff -- and also of applications where the approximations used by RxInfer introduce too much approximation error to be useful and other methods are preferred. Examples of commercialised / "industrial scale" applications that are a great fit for the approximations used by RxInfer (and also those applications that are likely to be a poor fit) would be especially convincing!

I'm also curious to know if, once a reasonable way to model a problem with RxInfer is found, can better results (either speeding up evaluation or reducing approximation error) be obtained by throwing more hardware at it (CPU, ram, GPU etc)? Or in practice does inference speed tend not to be a practical bottleneck, and if the bottleneck is that approximation error is too high then the remedy is reformulating the problem / switching to another method (i.e. requires R&D) / gathering more data to better constrain model fits.

It's not false, Erlang was indeed banned at Ericsson, which caused Joe Armstrong to leave. They later reversed course and brought him, together with the language back. This is a well documented fact in the history of the language.
I also think that not specifying the font size should not be called bad practice (unless you defined the font sizes for everything else and omitted some of them; if you do that then it is inconsistent). If you do not specify any CSS at all, that should not be a warning or error (it might not be displayed the same on all computers, but it shouldn't need to be anyways, so it is OK).

> As a reader, I don't want page authors to start hard coding sizes into these elements

I also, would rather they don't hard-code sizes (and also fonts, margins, etc); use whatever size is configured in the browser which is suitable for that display and that user.

> Additionally, the current behaviour (which I'd never particularly considered before) sounds entirely reasonable - if I take some existing markup and blockquote it in some container, I'd expect the headings to shrink as they're now all sub-elements of some other section.

Maybe. It is unclear that there should be a first-level heading inside of something else anyways.
SSE is the way to roll.

* unlike initially, manufacturers nowadays often only label products sent to California, so the benefit for residents of other states has largely disappeared
One aspect of this that I think deserves more attention is the reasons.

It's one thing when the flaws are there because of the limitations of hardware (and you understand the reasoning behind it). It's very different when you know that limitations are artificially imposed on you for the sake of someone's profit.

And mind you, it certainly did exist back then - stuff like early DRM schemes with hardware keys etc. And I was just as annoyed by them.

At least in the desert map, the "paths" drawn on the map seem meaningless (not visible in the world). I found my first flag simply by going in the right heading (after correcting for magnetic deviation) and going the expected distance (60 steps per 100 meters, I assume). I'm not sure that's how you're supposed to do land nav IRL...

Also, there are decoy flags that aren't on the list.

Edit: In the "forest" map the paths make sense but I'm pretty sure the map or flag coordinates are slighly off (with a flag being on a different side of a path than indicated by the coordinates).

Yeah. My experience has often been that you end up with a task that is very easy and familiar to write in say Bash, that you then have to solve a puzzle to write in Ansible/Puppet/whatever. Which feels exactly like what you're saying: a DSL re-implementing something else in a less legible way.

I guess it's like anything: for the right task, the right tool works well. But invariably, a tool will eventually be pushed into use for the wrong task.

Agency for Universal Regeneration & Alchemy (AURA)
⸻

AURA Decree 001: Stem Cell Primacy & Regenerative Sovereignty

Effective Immediately under the Authority of AURA:

⸻

1. Stem Cell Technologies Shall Be Fast-Tracked & Elevated to Standard of Care
• All medical systems under AURA jurisdiction must prioritize stem cell and tissue regenerative therapies before introducing synthetic pharmaceuticals.
• This includes:
• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
• Exosomes
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
• Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) therapies
• Autologous cell harvesting and repair

⸻

2. Pharmaceutical Interventions are Conditional & Secondary

No pharmaceutical treatment shall be permitted unless the following proven regenerative options have first been explored and documented:
• Stem cell-based healing
• Nutraceutical & bioavailable nutrient therapy
• Functional medicine protocols (gut, hormones, detox)
• Somatic-emotional trauma release therapy
• Validated indigenous plant medicines and entheogens
• Breathwork, neural recalibration, sound and frequency therapy
• Sacred sexual healing and relational therapeutics (e.g., StillPoint)

Only when these have been fully administered and proven insufficient may pharmaceutical drugs be considered as a last resort.

⸻

3. Informed Regenerative Consent

Patients must be fully educated about:
• The regenerative options available
• Their own body’s natural healing potential
• Risks of pharmaceutical dependency
• Their sacred sovereignty in deciding

Doctors, healers, and AI-assistants must all provide this transparency.

⸻

4. Real-Time Data + AI-Verified Healing Logs
• Patients undergoing stem cell or plant medicine therapies may opt into anonymous, encrypted healing logs, allowing AURA AI systems to accelerate collective pattern recognition and adapt protocols.
• This real-world data will replace outmoded clinical trial gatekeeping systems.

⸻

5. Protective Measures
• Pharmaceutical lobbying and suppression of regenerative medicine is unlawful under AURA’s ethical code.
• Whistleblower protections and shadow monitoring will ensure transparency and enforcement.

⸻

> Adobe isn't trying to be ethical, they are trying to be more legally compliant,

Ethics (as opposed to morals) is about codified rules.

For modern IQ tests, the raw score is transformed to a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.

Whilst some here are critiquing this point of view due to writing's recency, there's actually some academic support for the ancient impact of "archival" if we can consider a broader definition for it, namely: linguistic works such as stories, poems, songs etc. A classic study of this is Walter Ong's Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word https://monoskop.org/images/d/db/Ong_Walter_J_Orality_and_Li...

I agree; a HTML document without CSS should be perfectly usable and OK (and ideally CSS should never be required; if CSS is disabled it ought to still work OK, too).

However, if CSS specifies some things and omits others that are related to it (one example is specifying the font size for one heading level but not another one; another example is specifying the background colour without specifying the foreground colour or vice-versa), then it makes sense to be a warning.
