The whole article seems like AI generated slop.

I agreed right upto the last quote. That made the post political, similar to the ones being written by the AI evangelists.

The thing about complex systems is that they are not predictable. Right now the answer is whatever you think is right, and a lot of scenarios seem plausible.

It is a fun intellectual moment trying to make sense, but maybe only time will tell how the dynamics work out.

I try and make very small and deterministic steps. I do the planning (in flow state) and let the model to the execution. When the model is executing, I follow the "thinking" and keep seeing the diff like I would when I was coding.

GBook would have been so much nicer.

A corollary of this could be that people interested in Serious Work will never use LLMs. Could be the new "tell".

Reminds me of https://five.js.org/
Unfortunately you can’t just yell at the AI so it learns never to do this again. Humans take such a large range of feedback that LLMs can’t.

Visual website designing + publishing, built on Frappe Framework

There has been decent traction for Frappe Health (GPL) in Kenya. Not spending on expensive contracts and losing valuable forex is a big driver.

Here is a talk by Dr Mwogi on implementing at one of Kenya’s largest public hospitals https://youtu.be/yL6akPy2X5c?si=4UzUSJYm3PjxA3hL

Checkout Frappe CRM (https://github.com/frappe/crm). It is built on a customizable web framework and there is a reasonable community as well.
Also checkout Frappe Books from the team behind ERPNext for desktop accounting: https://github.com/frappe/books

Open source pretty much wins by being cheaper (in most cases free). 99+% of users never look at the source code. That's the reality.

My reading of Neapolitan quartet is completely different. It is not Lila’s external looks that make her irresistible, but it’s her spirit - a force of nature that she has. I think the Lenu considers herself better looking than Lila, so it was not so much about a beautiful face and body. Remember it’s “My Brilliant Friend” not “My Beautiful Friend”.

Would highly recommend the books to anyone who is still wondering - the torrent of raw humanness coming out from that book is, for a better word, brilliant.

Re:India’s Government Wants Total Control of the Internet on Monday February 13, 2023 @12:05PM (#34776346)
I am not justifying the situation. I don't buy the overly negative prognosis.

Yes there is increasing threat to freedom of speech, but India is not new to this. The left leaning Congress had even worse norms when they imposed martial law (Emergency).

India has a robust sphere of public debate and draconian laws and acts of discrimination by the government are regularly criticised. In more cases than not the government embarrasses itself by its clumsy use of power to restrict opposition, like in the case of the BBC documentary which did not uncover anything new.

Constant vigilance is required. I am not a BJP supporter, but I don't think the intent of the BJP is to suppress debate. They seek legitimacy. BJP is clearly toning down its more radical elements and is getting more mature judging by the way it allowed the Bharat Jodo Yatra (Join India Campaign) and understands that a robust opposition is in national interest.

I am more hopeful than this article.

Re:The semantic web is dead – Long live the semantic web on Wednesday August 10, 2022 @10:45PM (#32420947)
I am surprised no one has mentioned schema.org. It is a much simpler standard and more widely used than RDF/OWL.

Another point I think is that it is not in any publishers interest to publish structured data, as it easily copy-able. For example, neither Amazon nor Wikipedia publishes using schema.org. It would make their data susceptible to 3rd party aggregators.

Lost YouTube Channel with 11k subscribers due to horrible UX

We had our YouTube channel for "erpnext" and a few videos in an older channel called "webnotestech". To consolidate our videos I tried to move the old account to our main "erpnext" account and it deleted all our old videos with 2M views and 11k subscribers!I am a pretty proficient user and I wasn't drunk or anything, this is just bad UX. Agreed I may not have read all the details, but there is...

Re:Culture shock on Monday November 01, 2021 @11:30PM (#29076633)
This brought back a lot of nostalgia. (I was Indian grad student in a state university in the North East in ‘01)

For me the killer is the “master of the universe” feeling you get in the United States coming from India. Everything is in order and under control from the lawns in suburban homes, to supermarkets and libraries to traffic and restaurants. You see a lot more straight lines and perfect Bézier curves. This is a completely different texture in extreme contrast to India where “chaos” reigns and the spices and smells are a lot sharper.

After coming back to India. I somehow feel more “free” and “alive” in the chaos. Giving up control feels like a more natural, intuitive way of living and dying.

The big question is, if customers are going to stay over a long run. Also the assumption is that SAAS companies are to keep growing, while I see them all converging on the same market / same dollar spend (CRM, Support, Workflow). There will be consolidation at some point, and it won't be pretty.
Why is this on hackernews again? I thought it was a blog on Kubernetes or React!
