Much of the same commentary was confidently asserted during the 90’s about online shopping, stock trading, and dating.

Which users do you think are going to intentionally utilize the captcha-enabled manual-labor-required platforms to do these things (book/reserve/order something) when there’s a faster and easier choice available?

Assuming it actually works and doesn’t hallucinate nonstop, imo it’s going to kill off the “humans browse a website and order something” in the same way e-commerce killed off catalog and phone ordering systems.

Legal precedent in the US supports what I've stated.

As this is backed by RocksDB, does that mean it’s disk-based? I’ve been looking for a way to utilize Redis but with hot (memory) and warm (nvme disk) mechanisms to boost my capacity affordably.

LLMs have already plateaued in knowledge imo.

There’s far less reason for humans to contribute code examples, answer questions, work on open-source projects, or even produce content knowing it’ll immediately be slurped up and resold.

Web dev will be stuck with React and Tailwind circa 2021 for a very long time.

Robots.txt is completely irrelevant. TOU/TOS are also irrelevant unless you restrict access to only those who have agreed to terms.

Because that was the central point in the original whitepaper [1]: Hadoop is slow because it’s disk-only where Spark uses memory and caching to speed things up. I understand Spark isn’t 100% in-memory the way say Redis is, but it was still the major selling point vs. Hadoop.

Absolutely agree. Spark is the same garbage as Hadoop but in-memory.

What? What does business profitability or viability have to do with anything? Cloudflare can serve both customers at the same time. They still make amazing products, have incredibly talented engineers, and provide extremely valuable commercial services.

PRISM worked with numerous participants from well-oiled tech startups to aging why-wont-you-just-die companies.

I'd also point out the following from Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince's wiki page [1]:

> "Prince co-founded Unspam Technologies, which supported the development of Project Honey Pot [2], an open source data collection software created by Prince and Lee Holloway designed to gather information on IP addresses used by email-address harvesting services."

> In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contacted Unspam Technologies, asking, "Do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is?" The DHS' email served as the impetus for Cloudflare, a technology company Prince co-founded with Holloway and fellow Harvard Business School graduate Michelle Zatlyn the following year

> The DHS' email served as the impetus for Cloudflare

Emphasis mine. I love Cloudflare, their tech is amazing, but to bury our heads in the sand that it wasn't started from day one to be a government spying program would be extremely naive.

Nah that’d be a national security crisis.

But the presence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM well over 10 years ago should be sufficient.

because they’re an amazing piece of technology that also happens to be a state sponsored man-in-the-middle platform.

It’s more about the comments than the front page. Most HNers don’t bother clicking links and just read top of the fold comments.

HN may survive if upvote/downvotes are removed, but until then it will continue to be astroturfed and manipulated heavily to push narratives and subconsciously teach the startup/hacker community which opinions are favored and disfavored today.

Again, you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. There are numerous production-ready choices that myself and others have mentioned.

https://luckylionstudios.com has a ton of royalty-free music, it’s not free, but it’s cheap enough it basically is.

The link works fine for me? Not logged in nor do I have bluesky. Loads in chrome, I can see the 3 images, and quite a few comments beneath their post

Nobody is suggesting PHP beats compiled. We’re arguing with you about your utter lack of expertise in the language, knowledge of the ecosystem and “production-ready” status of the many options, and your overall coding ability when it comes to PHP.

How have you worked with PHP for 15 years and have absolutely no idea how it works or even baseline performance metrics.

> PHP doing hundreds of requests per second.

You may want to update your understanding of PHP and Go's speed . Both of your estimates are off by a couple orders of magnitude on commodity hardware. There are also numerous ways to make PHP extremely fast today (e.g. swoole, ngx_php, or frankenphp) instead of the 1999 best practice of apache with mod_php.

Go is absolutely an excellent choice, but your opinion on PHP is quite dated. Here are benchmarks for numerous Go (green) and PHP (blue) web frameworks: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#hw=ph&test=fortune&s...

tbh I'm surprised stackexchange still has employees. I thought all that value was already extracted by LLM scrapers and they're well on their way to becoming another quora.

There are a massive amount of overstays on H2A & H4 visas. They didn’t arrive here illegally, but their current status is very often illegal as they can’t switch jobs or extend beyond a season without a cumbersome renewal process, often which requires leaving the country for at least 3 months.

Because all social media platforms are already flooded with obvious AI slop and they felt they were missing out?

> The entire mainstream media is Anti-Trump, Anti-GOP.

Fox Corp, News Corp, Sinclair Broadcasting, and Newsmax would like to have a word with you about your lack of recognition.

Andy's ego is far too big to actually run a company and his focus is entirely on vanity metrics. You can see it in these database reviews where he spends substantial time pining over how much money CompanyX raised and shitting on the bread and butter tools used by those of us who don't have VC money to blow on whatever DBaaS is the current hype.

Presumably so they can hook into an external datasource

Interconnects within same datacenter are very different from regional backbones spanning 5-60 miles.

It did not become particularly easier to qualify for new mortgages over the past five years the way it did in 2004-2008. Nominal prices accelerated, yes, but rates were around 2.5%.

Generally speaking people who are in mortgages are able to afford them because they're on fairly decent terms and lent to people who are capable of paying. But nobody is selling if they're going to need a new mortgage.

Those are different products priced the same to all users. I genuinely don’t understand how this is even a debate.

Is AWS price gouging? Absolutely. But that’s not what price discrimination is.
