Tried to adopt this last month at work, it failed.
E.g. the mentioned Automerge, it has poor docs https://automerge.org/docs/reference/library_initialization/... and that left out a lot of question, it seems backend agnostic but have to figure out how to store, how to broadcast ourselves.

I disagree with the idea that getting past procrastination should (always) be the target.
Mostly because I don't think procrastination is inherently bad. There's a lot of stigma attached to procrastination as it's seen as being "unproductive". But I think procrastination can lead to great insights.
Your brain is telling you that it is not interested in the current task. The question is: Why? Overworked and needs a break? Much more interested in exploring something else? Protecting against the pain of failure?
Investigating the why instead of forcing "overcoming" is quite fruitful in my personal experience.
My guess is "action leads to motivation" might be helpful for solving one of the root causes (likely fear of failure/imposter syndrom) but not all of them.
many such as cases, it's clear why. People hate doing task x, because it's not fun nor valuable to them, but need to do because of duty.

Ironically all nuts friends seem to be talking less, less defensive than other nuts friends who keep talking about other people not buying what they believe nuts.

It’s definitely not useless. You’re right that it requires the interpreting layer to be able to handle missing info. The use case at the end of the article is streaming UI. UI, unlike arbitrary data, is actually self-describing — and we have meaningful semantics for incomplete UI (show the closest loading state placeholder). That’s what makes it work, as the article explains in the last section.
Thanks Dan. Yes, I agreed on the ui part, it seems to work in most cases. Some html tags have relation like `<datalist>` or `[popover]` attribute, but if we make all kind of relations trivial then it's benefit for sure.

It's useless as data is not just some graphic semantic, they have relation, business rules on top, not ready to interact with if not all are ready, loaded.

Looks neat, the first thing I search for in the docs is:
Unique indexes Not currently supported. Requires query rewriting and separate execution engine to validate uniqueness across all shards.

The first computers cost millions of dollars and filled entire rooms to accomplish what we would now consider simple computational tasks. That same computing power now fits into the width of a finger nail. I don’t get how technologists balk at the cost of experimental tech or assume current tech will run at the same efficiency for decades to come and melt the planet into a puddle.
AGI won’t happen until you can fit enough compute that’d take several data center’s worth of compute into a brain sized vessel. So the thing can move around process the world in real time. This is all going to take some time to say the least. Progress is progress.
Honestly, it doesn't need to be local, API is some 200ms away is ok-ish, make it 50ms it will be practically usable for every majority of interaction.

The type of people that want to start companies rarely invest. Once you adopt an investor mindset you start to see startups as one of the riskiest investments you could ever make.
I've seen quite a few one hit entrepreneurs lose it all chasing the next idea and never investing anything.
Indie startup (or just simply call it "selling app online") is not bad if your "capital is lower than $1M" AND "desirable MRR at $10k". You can beat $1M capital, 10% return .. by making $10k MRR SaaS instead.

There’s a moral in this story but the HN crowd ain’t gonna like it: money is capital. Two years ago the author had no job and 80k in the bank. At least half was disposable. Had he invested that 40k or more in a risk-averse fashion (20% s&p/btc; 80% t-bills) his position today would be much better. Instead he ate through his capital. Always invest your disposable savings or income. Hate me now. Thank me later.
Yep, 2024 market is considerably too good though. When he about to quit, I'd expect 8% yield (pessimistic) per year, so $6.4k/yr or $533/mo, that's "good" living quality in non major cities in Thailand. But to be fair, it's only good for locals, not for foreigners. And that $80k also needs to be invested 1 year before quitting.
It's doable for extending up to 3x of his runway.
