villaaston1··on Ask HN: Is anyone experimenting with different ways of using LLMs for coding?
This sounds a bit like Ruby on Rails including Hotwire? Even has the “on-rails development” in the name, schema design in a config, migrations, etc.

Though some frontend decisions are a bit more open

villaaston1··on Anthony Bourdain's Lost Li.st's
Maybe someone here knows the creators of li.st and we can get the missing lists back online?
villaaston1··on London saw a surprising benefit to ultra-low emissions zone: More active kids
You’ve used a poll from the height of the misinformation about the ULEZ, this was when vox pops were decrying it from ULEZ compliant cars!

In reality the expansion always had broad support, and normalised earlier this year in advance of the mayoral election: https://redfieldandwiltonstrategies.com/support-for-ulez-has...

Would love to know more about this low emission zone that your dad is suffering with. What’s the new route he has to take?

Though there is only one low emission zone that’s been in place “for two years” — London’s. Maybe you mean a clean air zone? Or Glasgow’s that was implemented last year?

What’s your source for beer consumption being way down? Apart from the pandemic, growth looks strong: https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1232738/beer-revenue-by-s...
villaaston1··on The little-known world of caterpillars
This has been tested! In moths at least:

> Manduca sexta caterpillars received an electrical shock associatively paired with a specific odor in order to create a conditioned odor aversion, and were assayed for learning in a Y choice apparatus as larvae and again as adult moths. We show that larvae learned to avoid the training odor, and that this aversion was still present in the adults.

villaaston1··on Low economic growth is a slow-burning crisis for Britain
Are you sure your tax rate is 55%? You’d have to be earning £500k+ and paying off a Plan 4 student loan for that to be the case.
villaaston1··on My own phone number is now spam texting me
What phone company is that?
villaaston1··on Popular Patreon creators are being hit with Vimeo price hikes
Yes, all those cheap servers and VPS with “unlimited” bandwidth have fair use policies and qos metering that will likely be very similar to vimeo’s. They certainly don’t mean TB of high quality video streaming every month when they say unlimited bandwidth
villaaston1··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
I’m not sure if this is the best source to read about the situation? The “Facts” listed are backed up by links to Russia Today videos on YouTube, or nothing at all.
villaaston1··on Gitlab from YC to IPO
Executive assistant I think in this case, though I’ve seen enterprise architect too!

villaaston1··on Britain Moves to Criminalize Reading Extremist Material on the Internet
This is the same minister who was talking about the "necessary hashtags" a few months ago. She's certainly not a _digital native_, or indeed even competent.

> Speaking about preventing the upload of objectionable content, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the government needs to get people who "understand the necessary hashtags" talking.

> That was of course in addition to Rudd's widely criticised remarks that encryption has no place in citizens' hands, in the wake of revelations that Westminster attacker Khalid Masood was using WhatsApp shortly before murdering pedestrians with his car.
