That sounds right. Now, I haven’t used producthunt but I believe they market themselves differently, with a heavy focus on ”creator community” and I believe they also call the VCs ”hunters”, suggesting perhaps that people are there looking

Another related aspect: it’s likely that tech hype sphere will not actually make much of a difference unless you’re selling to those people directly. My app Payload got featured in fastcompany, and I thought that was amazing. It drove traff

This is the best point I’ve read about this. I don’t think TikTok should be seen as a facilitator of free speech, because it has no obligations to allow it. It’s a private enterprise with their own community guidelines censorship, but most

> This isn't about privacy. Not directly anyway. Agree fully. Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I accept the risk or tradeoff of Apple or MS spying on me. It’s not that, but the right to repair, to tinker, to hack. Those things

> "LLM as UI" seems to be something hanging pretty low on the tree of opportunity. Yes if you want to annoy your users and deliberately put roadblocks to make progress on a task. Exhibit A: customer support. They put the LLM in

I was gonna argue that you can fix this but I realized that you’re right. It’s a MITM attack where there’s really no way to stop it, same as passwords. It’s basically the same feature (sign in in a different browser) that also lets attacker

Can you give an example? I mean I know you can shoot yourself in the foot with any UI framework, but jQuery has no way of managing state, everything just leaks by default. Unless they’ve added something.

> Does that give the instance any rights? Our bar for rights is insanely high and made deliberately for humans only. It’s not really based on ability to suffer or anything, it’s really just about humans being special, and then pulling so

Semantics. It may be able to get deterministic but it’s unstable wrt unrelated changes in the training data, no? If I add a page about sausages to a search index, the results for ”ski jacket” will be unaffected. In a practical sense, LLMs

I'm no fan of React, but these aren’t equivalent. If you follow the rules, react (or any of its alternatives) will manage stateful changes like adding and removing components and event listeners. JQuery is more similar to doing manual

I think the culture is so prevalent that I have to defend parent’s statement. Node itself, and npm which is a node project, are some of the worst offenders. It’s had abysmal stewardship imo, and one could argue this sets the tone for the ec

Disagree. The AI we have is very useful for specific things. The pushback you see is not so much denying the milestones that have been surpassed, but rather the milestones that enthusiasts claim are near. And for good reason! Every time and

Ack. > but applications sometimes know better (the ones specifically implemented by programmers who know better) Sure, and I don’t mind it. But right now to get basic modern performance you need that knowledge. That’s my objection. I jus

Disagree. Scheduling is exactly the type of thing the OS should be doing. It’s (a) extremely easy to get wrong and cause starvation and other problems (b) very complex and large in general and most importantly (c) the OS is the only compone

While I don’t doubt that the author has good reason for their opinion, the reason is handwaved here, no? Where is the tech debt? In the kernel only? Does it affect user space? For who is it more or less composable? I personally think ”asy

Plastic straws are natural predators. Removing them from the food chain will simply cause overpopulation in turtles.

HN moment. I’ve never seen in practice that someone says ”I don’t understand it” and the author says ”good point, I will simplify it”. Rather, the opposite. I often saw people make unnecessary complex or large PRs that were too much workloa

Interesting. Well yeah null termination seems better if (a) you don’t have an integer encoding and (b) you have random ”bit” flips.

There is a problem though. If you mix high effort with low effort content you will get a distortion compared to the perceived initial market. The economic equilibrium in any platform is the bang for the buck in effort-per-engagement. This

Can confirm. One of my proudest moments was deleting thousands of LOC of copy-paste-modify garbage. However I introduced one bug that broke another team which used an undocumented feature. It was fixed soon, but yeah, still not great. And v

AI is a distraction here. You can use whatever tool you want. Copyright does not care how you made it. It cares about likeness and in imagery, music and text, especially names. I’d assume you can freely use content from the earliest works,

It’s telling that safety and responsibility gets so much fluff words, technical details are fairly extensive, but no mention of the training data? It’s clearly relevant for both performance and ethical discussions. Maybe it’s just me who co

I got a digicert 1y with cloud signing on azure for less than $150. There are lots of resellers, and the one I found supports individuals. Now, MS should support trusted code signing ($10/mo) for individuals. But yes, it absolutely suc

Exact numbers are easy to measure but not the only way to measure something. Data-driven is the new statistics but 10x worse because it has more sources of obfuscation, and bean counters (including super “smart” and analytically minded) obs

Ok, sounds more reasonable now. Being DOM-like or DOM-compatible sounds much preferable, even though I don't see the reason to abandon webviews - you get 30 years of battle-tested tech for free + massive ecosystem. > Yes, but this i
