Are the logs actually written as HTML, or are you logging objects (like structured logs) that are transformed into HTML when displayed?

If the former, I would imagine that'd make searchability harder for larger volumes of logs.

This is exactly what my experience has been. I've also seen way too many people downplay the hallucinations or anthropomorphize the technology.

Tailwind? I must've missed that; I thought HN liked Tailwind for the most part.

On sites like Stack Overflow, incorrect and subtley wrong answers are often peppered with follow-up answers. But in a ChatGPT session, I alone have to critique its output, without contextual info regarding the data's source and without a community to help me critique it.

I find that a bit exhausting; beyond simple use-cases, I've found it easier to just do it myself.

I was chatting with someone I know that has a paid subscription for ChatGPT 4. I was venting about the hallucinations I was getting for a certain problem; they mentioned how much better v4 is, and proceeded to plug my prompt into it. The answer it gave was actually a more blatant lie compared to the responses I got from v3.5.

Oh sweet, I'll probably wait for November when .NET 8 releases but good to know it works well on the M1!

I didn't realize macOS wasn't supported, that's a disappointment. I work at a startup that's all .NET 6 on macbooks, and I was pretty excited at the chance to use native AOT.

I assume running an app in a container wouldn't allow you to sidestep that problem?

That is quite fascinating - I was big into continental philosophy in college, especially Deleuze. I might have to check that out!

If you're interested in this stuff, I think you might enjoy Manuel DeLanda - he gives Deleuze a sort of analytic treatment. His book "A New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity" takes a lot of ideas from A Thousand Plateaus, but makes them clearer and more accessible.

Another suggestion if interested in Deleuze, and more specifically A Thousand Plateaus: someone named Brent Adkins has a great companion for the work. Unless you have extensive experience with the thinkers & ideas referenced in ATP (e.g. Freud, Marx, Nietzsche), I found secondary sources very helpful for setting up context around certain terms and concepts.

I did a double take when I saw "continental philosophy." Usually I don't expect that to be mixed with math, since it's roots are more in the humanities.

How are exactly does continental philosophy factor into these other topics?

I love coffee, and 1 cup a day is all I've needed for years. Never have I had issues limiting my intake.

But I've noticed in spite of improving my dental habits, my gum health has remained pretty poor. I've wondered if it may have something to do with the acidity of my coffee (no sugar, since I drink it black), so as an experiment, I've tried switching to loose leaf black tea instead.

I've noticed I don't get nearly as jittery from a couple cups of black tea vs a cup of coffee. I also get sleepy as I should at normal times in the evening. Completely anecdotal, but at least to me it feels that the rise and fall of the caffeine boost I get is more gradual, without crashes or rougher withdrawals.

I do miss the flavor of coffee though; not crazy about the tannins in black tea. I may give matcha a try next.

I finished Norwegian Wood a couple weeks ago, it reminded me a lot of South of the Border. SOTB only gets a touch of surreal towards the end; beyond that, they're similar in their relatively down-to-earth view of the protagonist's struggle with interpersonal interactions.

I was initially annoyed by the main character, but was loving it by the end. I think the weirdly neurotic narration was reflective of the character's bizarre split consciousness; the alternating stories between the main character and the End of the World were such a fascinating way to present this.

This is the only sane reply, IMO.

When we can't admit this, either fear or a reflexive optimistism takes over our thinking as we try to guess at the future. And articles like this simply stoke these emotions further, benefitting the author with clicks while leaving people more anxious about their lack of knowledge about the future.

> Fourth, to everyone say, “Yeah, but ChatGPT isn’t very good,” I would remind you that technological revolutions aren’t about absolute values but rather growth rates. If I’m big & you’re small & you’re growing faster, then it’s a matter of time before you surpass me.

Assuming the growth rates are static, then sure. But in reality they're fluctuating too, and we can't know how they'll change in the future. Plenty of technologies have had fast early growth, only to peter out long-term.

This comes across as out of touch. The house differences are not just "a bit lower" - for many it can mean the difference between being able to purchase a house at all.

The problem is, a lot of our cities are fundamentally hostile to pedestrians. Even if you're actually close enough to walk to a grocery store (most are not), you may be afraid to cross streets with numerous lanes of speeding cars without dedicated crosswalks. In my city, it's common to hear stories of bicyclists in hit-and-runs; it doesn't exactly make people comfortable with walking and biking around their city.

The load times and lighthouse score for the MUD Blazor site has put me off of Blazor entirely for anything public facing:

Where I work, we all use MacBooks and deploy our services on Linux boxes. .NET has been cross-platform for years now.

Have you worked with old, medium to large sites filled with jQuery and custom ad-hoc scripts? In the past year I helped maintain a site exactly like this - it's a huge pain. So many problems that should've been caught sooner are noticed far later, leading to long feedback loops that cost time and money.

Sure, I would agree that the current JS ecosystem has its issues, but work can happen at either compile/design time, or at run time. Shifting work from one step to another has trade-offs that may or may not matter for a given team or product.

For small hobby projects? The scale makes these problems pretty insignificant, so handling more at runtime ain't so bad. But the number of possible problems multiplies as your codebase increases in size, and by solving these problems sooner, you spend less time overall dealing with them.

The last couple days there's been a lot of negativity towards the build step, but it's like everyone's forgotten the historical context that made the build step so popular to begin with.

I'll give credit to the post about the fragility of certain build tools long-term in the npm ecosystem, but I don't think that's a reason to shrug off build tools period. We just need better, more stable ones (and I think we're starting to finally get there).

Yeah, I get the impression some believe they're comparing apples with apples because they're both interpreted languages, but we don't exactly send Python scripts to millions of arbitrary clients, all of which execute them immediately.

I'd love to see an example of one of these tools

Nice, now I can write off a Steam Deck as a business expense!

Sure they're both viable options, but running 2 server-side apps that could be 1 server-side app and a folder full of HTML/CSS/JS served over CDNs certainly has some trade-offs. e.g. in terms of security, I'd prefer to have a smaller surface area server-side.

Probably great if I had to guess; I've also used Tailwind in a MAUI Blazor app to great effect. The only thing is: there is no DOM for MAUI Blazor components (only HTML & CSS are valid), but since Mud components work for Blazor server okay I'd imagine that wouldn't cause any issues.

Honestly I think this is where Blazor really shines: not in a web app, but as an alternative to the old XAML-based UIs - or even better, an alternative to Electron for desktop app development.

Try navigating to the site for the Blazor material design library, MudBlazor, on a mobile browser:

As much as I want Blazor to work out well, those load times are too abysmal for me to seriously consider Blazor outside of internal apps.

Svelte + Typescript & Tailwind, .NET 7, SQLite.

Why? Mainly because I'm familiar with them, and would be most productive with these.

I'd almost like to reach for Blazor, but if it's at all public-facing, I don't think I can justify using Blazor at this time.

The John Wick movies have spoiled me for this exact reason; too many cuts in a fight sequence, and it feels jarring and unreal. It's sort of counterintuitive, but long uncut sequences demonstrating the quality of the choreography really ramps up the tension (IMO).

Personally it's poor writing & bad camera work that bugs me more than anything. Sure this digital style is apparent, but I guess it doesn't fundamentally ruin a movie for me (whereas the other two factors do).

I think Tauri could be the cross-platform UI framework you want, if they can pull off Tauri Mobile
