Awesome!

In the "Protocol Handshake" section of what's happening under the hood - it would be great to have more info on what's actually happening.

For example, more details on what's actually happening to translate the natural language to a DB query. How much config do I need to do for this to work? What if the queries it makes are inefficient/wrong and my database gets hammered - can I customise them? How do I ensure sensitive data isn't returned in a query?

This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. At some point the LLM needs to produce text, even if it is structured outputs, and to do that it needs careful prompting. I'd love to see how that works.

High volume single-use drones and DJI drones are almost completely orthogonal in terms of technology, production, and procurement. The only thing they really share is MEMS gyroscopes and brushless motor windings. Making a million FPV bomb drones and making a million consumer camera drones are such dramatically different tasks that there is not a chance this theory holds water.

You should look at see what kind of drones are dominating Ukraine's skies. You'd see some water being held. And you probably should have googled this before making this comment.

I grew up similarly and it's part of the reason I've cut back on my meat.

Shoving 100 cattle into a 1 acre feed lot for their entire lives is unfortunately how a lot of beef is produced. They spend their lives covered in shit, sleeping in shit, and trapped with no where to roam.

And instead of addressing this problem, my state (Idaho) made it illegal to take photos of the issue. [1]

I keep seeing people make this claim that cattle spend their entire lives on feed lots, but I've never seen this anywhere and I've been all over cattle country. Where do they do this? Because around here feedlots are only for finishing cattle and typically only spend about 2-3 months there after having very happy lives as calves on a ranch.

I am interested in learning about how something is being used and in what context, instead of what it has to offer. Can anyone tell me if they are using HTMX in a proven environment, like a user-facing environment?

I think adopting HTMX as a framework would be difficult to switch from a React, Vue, etc. environment. I think using it inside internal tooling or a hobby project will not be able to justify its merit.

I understand that it is just a simple framework and it addresses an industry-related issue, but migration is a lot of effort. Does HTMX really provide enough value to justify the engineering investment required?

Isn’t this really just going back to the server side templating days and using jquery to load html snippets?

sidewndr46 · 2 years ago

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've read in a while.

All vehicles are insecure. I can hook a tow truck to almost any vehicle, including an 80,000 lbs tractor trailer and drive off with it. That'd actually attract less attention that outright hotwiring a vehicle.

The solution is to identify, arrest, and prosecute criminals. Which the government is not obligated to do in the US.

merpnderp · 2 years ago

We already identify, arrest, and prosecute criminals, we just don't hand out custodial sentences. Being in jail/prison sucks and is a good incentive to not steal cars. Plus it is impossible to steal cars while locked up.

I purposely go out of my way to start new chats to have a clean slate and not have it remember things.

merpnderp · 2 years ago

In a good RAG system this should be solved by unrelated text not being available in the context. It could actually improve your chats by quickly removing unrelated parts of the conversation.

You're baffled people aren't having kids? What bubble do you live in? People straight up can't afford housing much less children. The avg American is completely priced out of owning a home right now.

Edit: the replies - y'all are out of touch. Visit an average family in the Midwest with a household income of < $100k/yr that doesn't own a home yet.

merpnderp · 2 years ago

Kids aren't that expensive. I have a friend in the midwest with 5 kids and his family income is about $60k. They have 3 cars, own their home and go on vacation a few times a year. But they never eat out, and have a strict budget.

People complaining about money and kids and meanwhile their Great Depression era ancestors are looking at them with unending shame.

> ‘As one friend put it to me "When you were landing on the moon we were getting running water installed"’

This also applied to large parts of the United States in 1969, and was part of the reason why many leftists and Black activists saw the Apollo program as a symbol of misplaced priorities at the time.

Iceland wasn’t any poorer than Mississippi, for example. And at least Iceland had a program in place to build a Scandinavian-style welfare state so everyone really would get that running water pretty quickly, as well as healthcare and education and the rest. America is still struggling with that while again spending tens of billions on a microwaved-Apollo-cum-Artemis program that’s mostly pork distribution for senators.

It's criminal that the US is spending money on SLS when it is so incredibly inefficient and will very likely be completely outclassed in cost and operational ability by Starship.

Weird how it’s take the US decades to do what Japan used to do in three years.
