I wonder when the people will get that intelligence is not only directed at the external, but only really starts when you look at the internal (joy, pleasure, traumas, taboos, awkwardness, abuse, trust etc.). Look up the word "interoception".

Met him today at FrOSCon in Bonn, amazing guy.

What do you guys think of this?

I wonder when people will finally understand that social networks are also basically just fancy SaaS applications; I already predicted it half a year ago: https://blog.hermesloom.org/p/the-next-bubble-that-will-pop-...

Open for feedback :)

Oh of course I am, do you think I would need AI editors otherwise?

But I do know the secret: It's going beyond lines of code, deeper into the functional structure of it

So of course great kudos to the developers of Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, OpenCode and all the other editors. I’m personally using Cursor daily. But already for many months, I have been frustrated why they still operate on the level of lines of code. That seems so “last millennium” to me. Now that we have all these amazing data structures in computing, why are we not doing anything with them? Why are coding editors still working on the level of text instead of syntax trees? Or even more abstractly, couldn’t they work on the level of a cross-language notation?

That's a good point, I will fix that, thanks so much!

I don't get that argument at all. The LLM could just be an assistant to generate Helm charts or stuff like that. Of course a human could manually check it then, before it's deployed. I just find it so weird that LLMs are already pretty good at generating regular programming code, but generating IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) code is still so underdeveloped.

Will there also be a React component? Or is this not intended for web frontends? I was wondering, because Vercel et al. were mentioned in the beginning.

(I don't know and I'm not affiliated with the creator(s) of this project, I just discovered it recently and found the idea cool.)

"Let them pay. Be proud of your scrappiness." Love it xD

Not a proper answer to your question because it's NPM, but Claude Code uses ink: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ink

Yeah very true... I'm pretty curious what the reasons for this are. Maybe it's just that people are afraid of the lawyers from all these big tech companies, and that's why they don't want to reverse-engineer all these platforms to be able to properly import all data from them?

I just thought "library" would be meant in the software development sense.

Imagine, the Universal Library, interconnecting everything with everything else. Every API becomes compatible with every other API. All library formats ever become compatible, including all communication between different machines. Across programming languages, across programming paradigms. No incompatibilities ever again. Woah.

Spiritual crises are incredibly powerful. Especially nowadays, where the outrageous meaninglessness of pretty much everything in mainstream culture can be something which just creates an unpleasant gut feeling at first, maybe goes along with health problems, but all pointing towards what a heavily unbalanced media and politics are selling to us. A life trapped in routines, with the crushing thoughts of "but objectively, everything is fine in my life, so why am I crying?".

Also as the current mainstream education systems are incredibly dehumanizing and plainly soul-crushing. Students repeating completely pointless knowledge regurgitated by incompetent, unreflected teachers. But the teachers are not to blame, they are just followers as well.

Humans are animals striving for the Divine. Not as in the Christian God, or Muslim Allah or any other personified figure purely invented for mass control and mass manipulation. I mean what Rudolf Otto called "the Holy", the subjective religious experience and, eventually, in the context of the "enlightenment", the concept of meaning.

The Divine and "meaning" are identical. There is no meaning in anything, except for when you believe in it. Belief in the meaning of life is nothing objective, it's an active decision you make. If you get rid of this drive to consistently manifest the belief in meaning, you break down.

The transition from finding meaning in external things (e.g. Gods from institutionalized religions, money, work, validation from others etc.) to generating meaning from within is the most powerful transition in one's life. It is deeply vulnerable, a bit like a little birdie jumping out of the nest where it grew up for the first time. It means that you're getting wings, that you're freeing yourself from the control others have over you, because you stop believing that anything or anyone else can give you meaning. It's like a new language to learn, a way of being where you question everything, except for one single thing which you forbid yourself from questioning: meaning itself.

Pretty impressive how quickly you can create beautiful, structured visualizations of text in website form, kudos to claude-3.7-sonnet-thinking!

Nice, crashing nations usually go along with revolution. So what's ours this time?

Interesting, so you don‘t find the parts of the website to be connected?

This is a project on which, currently, me and a friend from Berlin are working. I think it‘s quite a good idea, I‘m looking for collaborators. Please also criticize thoroughly though, because I want to make it more doable and understandable.

Well, this article is certainly lovely, but does no one else think that this has been written by GPT-3? Did just I become a hopeless sceptic?

Well, I don't know Erlang (yet) and AFAIK, Erlang is rather focused on fail tolerance, high availability etc., which wasn't really a concern when I started the project. Python and NodeJS are quite good for quickly trying out ideas though.

It certainly did, but after all it was just a fun spare time project. I guess there would be a lot of interesting software to reverse engineer; I am always open to suggestions that are able to extend my knowledge. And well, if you mean it in context of a job... I don't have any experience regarding the job market yet, but that also sounds quite striking :)

Hi, that's definitely not a noob question. I'm already having plans on investigating this, but this topic is even more difficult than WhatsApp Web itself (see https://github.com/sigalor/whatsapp-web-reveng/issues/10#iss... ). Thus, at this time, I am not able to give you a definite answer, though, to put it informally, "it looks good" (at least on the surface).

Hi, please refer to my answer to a similar comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16796791

Hi, I'm sigalor, the original creator of the project. Actually, now I also regret using Python in addition to NodeJS. When I started all of this back in November, I originally chose Python, because it's, well, "quick and dirty". Especially trimming arrays and working with byte strings requires a lot more code in JS than it does in Python. I even wrote a reimplementation of the decryption routines in JavaScript, but it's not working entirely (the HMAC authentication of received messages fails, though login works).

Hi, I'm sigalor, the original creator of the project. The reverse engineering was almost entirely done using the Chrome debugging tools. That is, pretty-printing the JS source files, setting breakpoints and stepping through the code for hours. When I started, all of this was incredibly difficult, but the longer you do it, the more you get used to it. Additionally, the debugging tools also provide you with looking at what is sent through websockets, which makes it rather easy to see which JSON data is sent (e.g. for login).
