This account is one of the absolute top tier creators for weird music mixes. The recent deep faking stuff has been shockingly good. I think this is a good example of an "acceptable" use of AI, as long as artists/composers etc rights are all settled.

its always more fun when its a real group of talented people being silly, but I'd listen to an album of weird mashup like this for sure.

hahaha i mean this implementation. piping things in the shell is great

Unfortunately I’m not getting satire vibes from that blurb. I’m only more scared for JavaScript.

I love JavaScript but this pipe thing is horrific.

ah, the classic car-companies-dont-allow-officially-licensed-cars-in-old-violent-videogame argument for entrepreneurship. tough to argue with!

Sort of a weird take. I doubt if the people responsible for testing their backend have ever even met the people who would migrate to ipv6

Finally an HN post in one of my areas of expertise!

I don’t think it replaced bootstrap either, but I think it’s sort of the Jquery problem.

Jquery was handling element selection, manipulation, behaviors, futures/promises, ajax calls etc.

Somebody came along in each of those categories and “specialized” such that jquery was left as the bloated old choice.

Bootstrap was awesome, but as component based libraries like react/vue etc came around, I don’t need component level css helpers as much.

And then tailwind helped fill in the gap of being quite a bit more explicit and granular.

It’s actually one less layer. My layout and styling are finally together, and well documented. I don’t mean in the same file like a .vue file. I mean they are TOGETHER.

It’s easier to poop rainbows with unicorns.

Tailwind gives something like a fluent interface.

div.height(maxVH).color(primary).hide()

It’s all stuffed in classes because that’s the limitation given and this information belongs in the markup.

The above is much cleaner to me than: div.class(“primary”). I need to go find primary. What is the parent class. What happens if this isn’t a div now etc. what happens if the parent isn’t a div?

Tailwind just spells it out for you right alongside the layout so that you have all the information in one place.

For me personally, I was able to do things in tailwind I could never do in raw css, but I bet I got better at css as a result.

The docs are also incredible for tailwind. As good as mdn is, you need to already know what you’re looking for.

What sort of funding rounds was Elizabeth Holmes getting again? What was the supposed value of twitter when Elon bought it?

Valuations don’t mean much until the money changes hands, typically with the asset holder losing.

love this story very much. I had no idea WINE had been around for that long and was able to play starcraft etc. I have really great memories of playing starcraft with friends back in the day.... that game had enough staying power that we could all get into and out of in middle school and then again in college!

I came from a MSSQL background and eventually worked on an MySQL project with somebody who had a TON of MySQL experience by way of symfony.

I was explaining that not all of his non-aggregated columns were in his group by, so his query wasn't going to work.... but what do you know, MySQL will just return whatever it feels like from the group in that situation. I expected it not to run at all.

I think there are some flags etc you can use to enable to stricter behavior but it was one of the wildest footguns I've ever seen.

Its an interesting story that checks some boxes (michael jordan is still 11/10 popular, big organization refuses to pay, etc)... and the story is fairly brief... and has a good ending. I think the algorithm is just doing its thing.

Oh my god you’re describing all of my days every day. I’ve thought maybe I had ADHD or something but I’ve never read a more accurate depiction of my day to day.

I do think they are doing it more responsibly for sure. Just that given the limitations it’s difficult to compare the offerings at this point

FSD is more like example 5

I think the mercedes taking responsibility thing was at least partially clever marketing. there are really extreme limitations last I saw, which honestly is understandable.

the software stack is different as far as I know. if you buy FSD and sign up for the beta program, you get a fairly massive software package downloaded. it is not instant and already on the device.

of all the things to hate about elon, tesla, and this whole concept of locking down features in a car, FSD really isn't one of them, as its just a software issue and its a totally separate package that isn't core to the operational capability of the car's components.

things like this always have some underlying notion that there are objectively correct combinations of lines of code. There isn't. The cleverness problem can live at any level in a system.... this line is really clever because in <language> <data type> is really just a <other data type>, so if we use this <unrelated feature> we actually can do this all in one line!

You can also have system level cleverness, which is fine as long as you can explain the cleverness in a few sentences. Sometimes the data access layer is clever and the other stuff isn't....

at the end of the day, as long as you leave things such that they are easy to change, or at least you're brave enough to change them, none of it really matters. Someone is going to replace the "clever" code with other code that does more or less the same thing, and then next engineer will replace that code with something else.

There will always be black markets for the people who don't trust the government and certainly for people who don't want to go to some supervised location.

Perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good etc, but some of it feels like just make the gov't complicit in people absolutely ruining their own lives. Its a tough nut to crack.

I believe they are referencing executives not stock owners. I imagine a company like this going out of business is pretty profitable for execs... but thats just me guessing. Its entirely possible that this company was run by the few executives with souls and a sense of actual responsibility

Migrating data or related processes and running a couple of things in parallel to make sure nothing was in translation… some sort of data replication hacking maybe.

Sometimes you want them to be equal, sometimes you want to know they aren’t… but it’s not out of the ordinary at all to want to check

I don’t think this article is expressing any opinions on normalization

its always pretty shocking to me how much things turn into this weird us v them mentality when its really just two different systems with plenty of pros and cons.

Every system could be improved and if you prefer one the other isn't by default inherently evil.

People within both systems can suck.

no, the comment you're replying was not being so narrow

I don’t even think the purpose for this is known. Not sure how this would impact earnings at all. Meta doesn’t even manufacture a phone.

My point is that this is just an objectively good thing because it’s the “right” way to handle things. Even if the “wrong” way has minimal impact.

What difference do the numbers make if the policy is better? If it changes 1 or 100 outcomes, in my mind this is absolutely the correct call.

Numbers would be great and they should definitely produce them, but I don’t think they would change my thinking they legacy admissions is negative.

I have no idea what etherium accomplishes for anybody if I’m honest

The word business is doing a lot in this sentence. Crypto finally has been exposed for what it was all along and now the next hot thing is AI.

AI is real though… but everyone who thinks forking over massive amounts of money to OAI is good business is going to be sorely disappointed when prices increase and/or apis go away all together.

You need to be building something of your own based on the tech. The hallmark of crypto bro turned ai influencer is doing none of the work themselves… just like they let everyone else mine the crypto and then basically just stole it.
