wvlia5··on The AI cost of JavaScript frameworks
Which library do you use to get signals?
wvlia5··on The AI cost of JavaScript frameworks
Yes, mithril is beautiful. I believe people consider it complete mostly, that's why there have not been updates. I have been doing the same and adding a bunch of features on top. Will check yours. Let's make super-mithril !

Flutter good, React Native bad. (mobile)

Related to cultural moral values: 'do the-right-thing even if it doesn't benefit you'.

This brings us closer to max payoff of prisoner-dilemma.

In this case it's 'do the job right, even if that's not profit-maximizing'.

But moral values have been lost.

Actually this is an obsession with profit, which makes more sense. Faster is cheaper and get paid sooner. And consumers often pick price over quality. So this is a civilization dynamics problem.

In a afternoon, I can parse the equations. But intuitively understanding why it works? I am unable to understand, after years of trying.

wvlia5··on Things to know when you get cancer
It seems getting cancer is a lot of work. If I ever get it, I would like to have a gamified app that tells me what I have to do.

-'call this number of hospital x to schedule an appointment with Dr y'. (check. Appointment in 5 weeks. Automatically reschedules the task every day to ask if there is cancelation to make it sooner).

- 'you will get your 1st opinion today. In the appointment, get your test results so we can get a 2nd opinion later.'

The app would have built in ai who knows and references 'the standard of care', and knows where to schedule each treatment anywhere in the world.

Personal family story about non-health side-effects of cancer:

40 years ago, Dad got colon cancer. He was a Jehovah Witness, they prohibit blood transfusions. He looked hard for a doctor who was willing to do surgery without blood, and found one. Surgery was successful, he was completely cured. Years later, the official medical recommendation for when to do blood transfusions dropped to use blood in less cases, which shows better outcomes. This was interpreted in his mind as "JWs saved my life, I owe my life to this cult", so he became a radical JW, which destroyed our family.

wvlia5··on State of Kdenlive
I tried it 10 years ago and it was very buggy, crashing and freezing. The main option was Openshot, which was also in development and buggy (something happened then, that Openshot almost stopped development). There was no good foss option, so I settled for Sony Vegas from pirate bay.
wvlia5··on Show HN: I made a calculator that works over disjoint sets of intervals
Hey, what about this idea? redefine interval representation, such that [a, b] means the same if a<b; but if b<a, it means [-∞, b]U[a, +∞]. Then your example would become 1/[-1,2]=[0.5,-1]

What's the main value proposition of roc? I found interesting tags (like symbols in mathematica) and tags with payloads (like python namedtuple or dataclasses). I haven't seen this elsewhere. Otherwise seems quite typical (Pattern matching is quite common, for example).

Example programs that you couldn't easily express in other languages?

wvlia5··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Games, hobbies, meds are not good. Those are like candy, you need real food.

There are 3 aspects to the issue you need to tackle:

# existential, deep

What you need to do is to get a glorious vision of 1- who you are and 2- what you are doing, aka. the plan.

Examples:

1- I am a scientist, 2- I'm getting a phd to then change the world with my research.

1- I am a father/husband, 2- I am raising a happy family.

1- I am a skinny/fat guy who will have an impressive transformation to bodybuilder, 2- I am targeting to raise my lean body mass by 2kg/year.

1- I am a guy with troubled emotions that feel like hell, who will overcome his suffering and find happiness, 2- I am becoming a buddist monk.

# physiological, shallow

Your negative emotions will be a burden in your journey to glory.

You need to feel comfortable being alone. You need to be able to be alone without intense negative emotions about it. It is like getting used to feeling cold/hot, hunger. Like adapting very hot sauna or marathons. You need to physiologically adapt to solitude.

The root solution will be what I explained before. Short-term, it would be good to have a break and to restart fresh (next time recognizing you didn't do it well the 1st time with your games, and that you need to work on a glorious plan). Options to get a break:

- move back with your parents for 1-2 years

- go to some cheap and nice destination and live in hostels, shared room. Change hostels every few weeks. Chat with guests. Just having a 'good morning' goes a long way.

# practical solution

While you have to adapt to solitude, you can also work on getting relationships. In order to do this:

- go out and talk to people physically (Internet doesn't count). You can actually go to a stranger on a park/mall and talk. Try it. Also explore bars, courses, events. When you go to those, you have to talk to people, you get 1 point for each person you talk to, otherwise 0 points.

- make a list of people you have known and see if you can get back in touch and deepen the relationship. Include in the list people you currently have some relationship with. Yes, even the cashier that always gives you a good smile when he says: 'debit or credit?'. You can deepen the relationship over several days in this sequence: polite smiles -> trivial chit-chat -> personal talk -> invitation to hang out.
