Re:Building on ATProto on Thursday July 23, 2026 @02:59PM (#49026468)
Reading articles like this one, I do think people are trying to put a square peg (their applications) through a round hole (ATProto). The ATProto was designed around all data being public. You write public data to a user's PDS and then any application can read that public data and do something with it. If all data was private (encrypted?) by default then that would defeat half of all of ATProto's goals.

Imagine someone starts startup A on-top of the ATProto. They raise some money, get some users, some people love it, but ultimately they die. If the data was private to that service, that data dies with the startup. But if the data is all public future startup B can read that old data and do something with it. As a user that's brings me a ton of utility and comfort trying out new services.

If you're trying to built a local-first, mostly private service I just don't think the ATProto is the right tool for the job.

Re:Intro to Hyperscript: Rethinking JavaScript on Sunday March 17, 2024 @12:08AM (#39731856)
I think Hyperscript is easy to bash on due to it's _very_ different syntax than what programmers are normally used to. That said, I think it's a really nice way to add little pieces of functionality without needing to bring out the JS frameworks.

It should be remembered that Hyperscript is meant to be paired with a technology like HTMX. I don't think the creator of Hyperscript would be suggesting to anyone that someone attempt to create a web application out of pure Hyperscript.

Re:OpenAI investors keep pushing for Sam Altman’s return on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @03:41PM (#38369762)
I think that's a large thing to assume. That announcement could also have been easily just damage control before the markets opened on Monday and nothing has yet to be truly hashed out and agreed on.
Re:Sam Altman Exposes the Charade of AI Accountability on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @06:56AM (#38362443)
Because if they wanted to keep their compute credits that they desperately need to achieve their mission, they cannot be randomly pissing off their biggest collaborators. Just because the board doesn't legally _need_ to work with their for-profit investors, doesn't mean they shouldn't.

Had they played this like adults they could have seen through a smooth transition and not be looking at a total collapse like they are now.

I think what people in this thread and others are trying to say is that to run a organization like OpenAI you need lots and lots funding. AI research is incredibly costly due to highly paid researchers and an ungodly amount of GPU resources. To put all current funding at risk by pissing off current investors and enterprise customers puts the whole mission of the organization at risk. That's where the perceived incompetence comes from no mater how good the intentions are.
Re:Melange 1.0: Compile OCaml / ReasonML to JavaScript on Monday June 12, 2023 @01:17PM (#36297176)
Interesting to see oh this will affect (or not) the Rescript project.
We've been hearing complaints from AT&T users for months now that our website (https://vstream.com) doesn't work for them. I've tried hunting down the reasons & tried getting in touch with AT&T to no avail. This seems like it could be the very thing that's causing the issues for our users.

Now I just need to figure out what to tell our users that are having these issues...

Re:H5N1 (2013) on Sunday March 29, 2020 @04:35PM (#22722470)
You can try it yourself without any of the math with just a little bit of programming.

  function calc30(odds) {
    for (let i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
      if (Math.random() < odds) return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
  Array.from(Array(10000)).map(() => calc30(0.04)).filter(Boolean).length //=> 7022 or ~70%
  Array.from(Array(10000)).map(() => calc30(0.02)).filter(Boolean).length //=> 4545 or ~45%

Lattice | San Francisco, CA | Tech Lead, Software Engineer | Full Time | On-site

Lattice offers a performance management solution that helps companies put employees first. We offer 360 reviews, real-time feedback, weekly check-ins, and goal setting in a way that allows companies to focus on employee development, growth, and engagement. We launched in summer 2016 and have grown to over 800 customers around the world. Lattice has raised $9.8 million in total funding from Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, Y Combinator, Slack Fund, Marc Benioff, and others.

We are looking for product focused, full stack engineers to join our growing team. Our current stack is primarily React / Relay on the front-end and GraphQL / Node on the backend. You should be comfortable with both shipping products in JavaScript, and knowing when it’s not the right tool for the job.

Lattice | Product Engineer (Fullstack or Frontend) | San Francisco | ONSITE, https://latticehq.com

Lattice is a performance management startup that helps companies track and improve employee performance. We believe that good performance management is critical for companies and employees to be successful. Unfortunately, the process is often painful, but we don't think it has to be that way.

We're growing really fast, based in San Francisco, and backed by some of the best investors including Thrive Capital, YC, Khosla, Marc Benioff, and Alexis Ohanian. The company was founded by myself (Eric Koslow) and our CEO Jack Altman. The engineering team only has four full time employees, so there's a tremendous opportunity to grow your career and have a big impact on a growing startup.

We use React on the frontend, NodeJS on the backend, and communicate over a GraphQL API. If you enjoying working with cutting edge technologies this is the place. We're looking for individuals that are product minded and enjoying owning problems from ideation to deployment. We have a very collaborative work environment and engineers work on all parts of the stack and across many domains.

If you're interested in the role, apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/latticehq/a29cefce-04ca-4a4e-86ba-9245...

Hey harj! The article and plan is really interesting. I wanted to read more of the details and comparisons, but it seems the link from the sentence "We’ve created a summary of the gory details on both the business and legal aspects here" just brings you to the triplebyte homepage. Do you happen to have a direct link to that page?
