> entities are fundamentally different from tables

Isn't the fact that they are _mostly_ interchangeable the foundational principle of hundreds of ORMs? Of course the DDL doesn't say much about the entity's lifecycle, but if the bar is set at representing its relationships, fields and cardinality as a graph, it seems sufficient?

I was rolling with "don't expect me to read something you haven't spent the effort to write", but that works, too.

I'd slightly rephrase that as "Apple has recently started building pointless animations into their product, instead of sticking to meaningful animations like they were doing since unmemorable times".

Old Apple knew not to overdo things.

Re: YouTube example, the issue (as I understand it, and I'm what you could describe as the opposite of an expert in that) is that the video and the playlist blend with transparency over one another. Had the playlist appeared sliding from the right side of the screen, it would have worked (I guess).

And the fact that "better" is highly subjective and domain/task/vibe-specific

Yup, it worked out of the box!

Yup, you can read more about it from here (and follow the same link I posted earlier at the bottom of the page) https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-faster-than-ever-introd...

Because teenagers are not known for having the best judgement? Because parenting comes with commitments and obligations that, early in life, conflict with other things that are seen as desirable for a well functioning society (education, equality, opportunities)? Having more experience in life generally makes you a better/better-prepared parent?

Don't read me wrong, I'm not stating that the current economic/social pressure is good at producing healthy/happy parents/families, it just doesn't seem good either to turn teenagers into parents. The "sweet spot" probably lies in between, and what you say is very much an appeal to extremes.

Went from E61 to N900 to pre³, least I can say is that neither modern Android nor iOS amazes me.

Look into "next cloud HPB" (High performance backend) https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push

Upgraded yesterday, I only use a small amount of features (files, memories, calendar, tasks). It sucks that tasks isn't compatible yet (but I mostly use DAVx⁵/Tasks.org as front-end), and it sucks that the landing page still pulls close to 20MB or so, but besides that, nothing to report one way or another.

This, and/or the tendency in tech circles to "think in absolutes” (like in code, seeing things binary, ...) which is especially annoying in security-related discussions.

Curiosity is a teenager now? Damn, I didn't need to feel this much older today..

People having extremely opposite user experiences with LLMs. How could this be?

Yes I wonder why. Teen pregnancy sounds so amazing and inconsequential for individuals and societies alike that teens should just be inoculated as a rite of passage or something...

Sounds good, until you start arbitrarily punishing people who, for one reason or another, just can't have kids (reasons can be many, for one, biology is a bitch).

Some people prefer organic grown food for all kinds of reasons, does it matter to you they would want the same for code? (Also, I'm not picking a side here)

And with dnf/rpm updates being transactional and easy to undo with `dnf history` or `dnf distro-sync`, I never saw the appeal for a day-to-day OS of fedora atomic & al.: only a worse user experience with a slower system, slower updates, and terrible disk usage in a time of storage scarcity. I keep missing the obvious and telling myself that I'm dumb for it, but OTOH, this box is running fedora 44 with some big COPR (the latest one being for plasma 6.7) admirably well, and the most admirable of all is: this OS was initially installed as fedora 27 and incrementally updated flawlessly for almost a decade now.

I mean, this reminds me of the early imagenet days, when people were first trying to explain the unreasonable efficiency of neural networks at interpreting content in images. They found out that, after enough backprop, some layers of the network became specialized in contours extraction, shape extraction, etc, in ways that can be seen as analogous to earlier CV techniques (Canny/Hough transforms, ...).

Later, Google was having fun feeding whole bunch of youtube content to artificial neural networks, unsupervised, and figured that certain parts of the network would, too, specialize, only to have the activation functions be run backwards and render an abstract image of a cat¹.

None of that is terribly new or surprising for anyone having studied and dealt with neural networks. The only difference today is that the field has completely flip flopped from approaching the subject with scientific rigor and cautious excitement to being a clueless billionaire infinite money printing machine fed on deceiving anthropomorphism and FUD.

Pretty sure there are already a dozen vibecoded proxies for HN doing just that

> that makes me feel I'm not talking to a self sufficient entity.

I've seen this happening a lot in the recent times: people who are generally not very good at their job tend to offload disproportionately more to LLMs, and it's so damn annoying that their incompetence now comes sugarcoated in lengthy LLM babble for the sake of desperately trying to sound convincing. This is wasting me high single digit hours every week, not to mention the frustration of battling an asymmetrical fight: it takes them seconds to produce something that will take me minutes to read and hours to react upon. This needs to stop.

Edit: typo -le+me

I find GBoard to remain superior in multilingual typing, futo just can't seem to be able to switch to other languages consistently, even with the multilingual option enabled,

it's also not as good at "recovering" from typing too many letters (Gboard sometimes adequately completes with likely shorter words)

If you haven't already, you might want to read the twitter thread at the root of this HN discussion. It essentially postulates that all Chinese 3D Printer manufacturers are incentivised to follow in the steps of BambuLabs (being members of the state apparatus and subject to the same rules), while suffocating the competition outside of China (by benefitting from unfair advantages under the umbrella of a nationalistic development plan).

I don't want to sound like a Prusa shill or anything, but if they see Chinese state-sponsored competition as an existential threat (and I see no reason to doubt either claim), then I imagine that, from Prusa's perspective, it's a losing proposition either way ("damned if you do, damned if you don't"): anything they develop in the open directly strengthens their competitor and doesn't elevate the playing field for the benefit of all (unpunished licenses violations) ; anything they keep to themselves turns Prusa further and further away from their ideological stance, more akin to their enemy and less relevant.

> the effort has been stalled for years

All because of some cargo-culted command!

For a while (a decade+), I was running CentOS on my servers on the same assumption of long time stability and ensuing peace of mind. Then I figured that over such durations, the ecosystem drift becomes significant and keeping applications up to date and running on top of the OS becomes an increasing challenge (with the more "infrastructure" packages like glibc, python/Apache combos, GCC, ... slowly becoming incompatible with the latest applicative stack).

Then I figured that version upgrades were miserable, not just because I had painted myself in a weird corner with ungodly packages mix-ups, but because the upgrade path was always best-effort. I think I gave up during the 6 to 7 transition, as I realised that all I needed was fedora: with yearly or half-yearly updates I have no need to fight the distro's packages: stuff stays current and in working order, major distro upgrades go smoothly, downtime is minimal. I'm not considering going back to any "server distribution" ever.

When the field is so crowded with astroturf and myopic takes that you can no longer tell what's sarcasm and not.

I mean, that's probably what it is, a last squeeze while something somewhat remains of their Plex brand image, knowing the war to Jellyfin is over and lost. At that rate, Jellyfin could start a commercial entity, partner up with mullvad or whoever, and offer a STUN/TURN proxy service that they could charge cents/dollars a year and still make bank.

> The bookmarks feature which is supposed to be the solution for short-lived branches is hard to understand though.

yup, it came up as a response to git and people getting more and more re-wired into thinking of "branches as pointers", with its own bag of implicit state and behaviour. No wonder it felt clunky and unpolished used in this context. That said, it was a pretty effective way to globally distribute a namespace of string→commitID pairs, i.e. a list of commit bookmarks, and at least in that sense the feature wasn't a total misnomer/let-down :-)

Both things can be true (the second being that staging was never necessarily not a desirable abstraction in light of easily and safely amendable commits)
