What is the 28% failure rate, is that from the removal of strong typing? Love the idea!

Dude there is nothing "far right" about him.

Way too broad a brush to paint with. If we want to retain any sort of liberal democracy we need to stop with the rhetoric that "if you're not as far in X direction as I am, you must be on the other side". Its destroying the democratic party.

I'm a staunch democrat, and this is just sad to see. Progressive and centrist should both be able to coexist. We should be able to call out ineffective policies within our own movement without being called far right radicals.

This has been tried multiple times actually via ISAs and other instruments. Immediately inverts to adverse selection - eg the students who are going for a more lucrative option don't want to participate.

That said, the letter here wasn't about undergrad or expensive college - its about the federal government stripping funding for research for political reasons. Sad. We should be investing in US research capabilities. And like it or not, our research universities are pretty freaking good at... research.

We used to build great big crazy things too, lots via research universities due to vast federal and defense research.

That has changed. It should be reinstated. Cut red tape, get back into the business of taking (literal) moonshots as a government.

The CRDT enables eventual consistency on these schema updates, so a new field will be eventually consistent

This seems to miss the plot on so, so many points. Not worth a read if you came to the comment section first.

Doesn't even discuss open-source when a key point its making is "tech is built on the backs of others".

I have a late model Audi, and a Tesla Model 3. Audi has all the bells and whistles.

Doesn't come close to the safety I feel in the Tesla. Not even close. I know anecdotal

Nice URL that is a win

Being "pretty good" holds us back by atrophying our ability to handle hard things.

The link seems to be down, was it taken down?

Completely agree. This statement is immediately disproven by the authors following points. Eg pointing out that the supreme court, and other authoritative bodies exclusively use serif fonts...

Of course there is no "a priori", the general public doesn't know what a letter is "a priori" until they are taught. At the same time they are taught which fonts are formal and authoritative and which are not.

Everyone knows Comic Sans is not appropriate for a legal brief. No matter if that is "a priori" or not.

The argument here doesn't hold up for me.

The author states "The formality and authority of serif typefaces are largely socially constructed, and Times New Roman’s origin story and design constraints don’t express these qualities."

Yes, formality and authority are both, quite literally, social constructs. There is NO "natural" or "universal" formality or even authority without human social input.

I would also argue that, though most users cannot distinguish between a serif and sans serif font, they DO understand the serif fonts connote formality. eg in high school they were told to submit their papers in a serif font, or where they read a court opinion they also read serif (even if not the same font).

Sure, the State Department could have selected a different serif font. But a reversion to what was previously used seems completely normal.

Secondarily, I do think Calibri looks far too casual for the State Department. Its what I would use if I were quickly printing out my notes...

Recommend "The Mission" by Tim Weiner for this one. Not as simple as this.

Often the intel community is dead right, but get thrown under the bus by the admin. The intel community can't really come out and say "actually what our pres is saying is false, we told him this would happen".

They did tell the admin that there was no WMDs. But Rumsfeld didn't want to hear it, and forced them to "find" it.

Almost killed the agency

He specifically specified that he was happy with ubiquiti since it was consumer grade hardware

Perhaps it feels so easy given your familiarity with it.

I have struggled to get things like this stood up and hit many footguns along the way

This thread, in and of itself, demonstrates the incredible quality of this community. Thank you to all of you, and especially to @dang and @tomhow for thanklessly holding us all together.

Their bottom control buttons here feels like the perfect use-case for liquid glass. Really enjoying this new UI from Apple.

Kevin Hartz is the most desirable angel in the valley IMO. His advice and generosity with his time is unparalleled.

This is my favorite type of hacker news content. Something really cool that I never would have stumbled upon myself.

I'm really surprised how built-up Gaul and Germany are here

To me, Nationalism and Patriotism mean different things.

At least to me:

Patriotism: the belief in the ideals of your country, in its people and its ability to strive towards that ideal state.

Nationalism: A strong identity tied to ones nation as it exists today (or in the past) at the exclusion of others or other thought

Very cool! Am using it now and really like the sidebar chat that allows you to add context during a run.

I hit an error that was not recoverable. I'd love to see functionality to bring all that context over to a new thread, or otherwise force it to attempt to recover.

Can you explain what you mean by "not on ur machine as files get deleted on runtime to prevent privacy issues". I may be misunderstanding, but I'd personally want the files to by on my machine, and served to my agent locally instead of being a remote MCP server that I don't have control of

You can use mixed in tailwind. Its for consistency (which I quite like). I'm a big fan of just saying "gap-1" and knowing that that will be consistent across the custom components I've written, and the component library

I’ve been using the beta on both iPad and iPhone for the last couple days and I have to say I quite like it.

I find the interactions intuitive, and the rearrangement of the UI (placement of buttons and such) better than prior versions.

I was concerned about readability, but has not been an issue at all.

There are some awkward portions, but seems like something that can be worked out.

I just tested it out locally, really excellent quality, the server was easy to set up and well documented.

I'd love to get to real-time generation if that's in the pipeline? Would like to use it along with Home Assistant.

Looks like they will have a cloud offering, and mentioned in this post are on-prem and managed offerings

Was just looking into chunking strategies today, this looks great! Will update with any feedback.
