P.S. And maybe not clever about naming at Cloudflare, but I'd say with high certainty, quite clever about technology! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment, I appr…

Yes - I agree - that is what I am trying to say in fact. But the association gets made because of the naming. The only dictionary definition of "operating system" I see is like the…

Ah, my friend, I'm talking about the broader trend of people adding "OS" to the end of everything, not just Cloudflare. My apologies, I was not singling out Cloudflare here, but I …

You're missing the subtle marketecture trick here they are doing.. Non-technical people don't always think of an OS as the computer OS. To them, sometimes it means more like standa…

"The most important skill in the AI era may not be prompting. It may be learning how to solve problems using the right kind of help." [1] Context - I have over 25+ years in softwar…

I think you are right about the narrow legal distinction, although I was not suggesting that the public has a right to enter someone’s home and scan a book merely because its copyr…

Yeah, I was thinking along these lines... Let's say one of the books to be digitized and destroyed is the sole remaining copy of a book from 1850, which is now considered public do…

Best wishes for getting those through and thank you!

Yep, you're right [1] - and the author is posting in here I believe, if he sees this - I just have to say, thank you for all you've done... maybe someday the browsers, WhatWG etc. …

In the past, we used to refer to these as 4GL systems [1] - and as far as I'm concerned, this is really a wide open field for innovation - especially in the era of AI/LLMs. [1] htt…

It's too bad Htmx isn't just the native behavior of HTML, implemented in a cross-platform standard, that does not need to rely on Javascript in user space code. It could just be pa…

Wow, I blinked and it's been 20+ years since Spaceship One? Yikes, time really does fly. Presumably we haven't heard as much after Northrop bought them? I think it's awesome that S…

This reminds me of an old problem I used to run into with duplicate data. Duplicates are not always what they seem - duplicates have a relative quantity of how duplicate they are, …

I think that we humans still have a really tough time differentiating and classifying between public and private goods (and everything in between) from an economic sense. Unfortuna…

So like.. conceptually kind of like memory mapped files on fast flash persistent storage, IIUC? Or maybe it's more like GPU-managed demand paging, caching and DMA? That could get y…

In the past platforms have integrated ML algorithms into relational databases and SQL through extensions (both commercial and open source). A famous open source one was MADlib [1],…

Yeah, I mean - I know that people do this in real life, but when I encountered this recently while trying GPT-Live, it was truly annoying - I felt like it kept causing me to lose m…

Might be interested in orthogonal reading - "The Textual Warehouse" (ISBN-10:‎ 163462954X) by data warehouse pioneer Bill Inmon. He is and always has been ahead of his time with hi…

You're assuming that you'll still be able to get a personal computer in the future. With the rate that we are losing the ability to purchase new affordable equipment, I am not sure…

Not OP and just guessing, but probably SXM2 GPU modules for the V100. Those can be acquired fairly inexpensively, but there is work to do to get them working together and the V100 …

Astral, bun, Stainless, Cursor... and more.. Seems like developer tools/tooling are a hot commodity to the current big AI companies?

First one to vibe code a language for LLMs, by LLMs, wins a cookie?

I second the idea to use a zip. In fact it's what a lot of vendors do because it is so ubiquitous, even Microsoft for example - the "open Microsoft Office XML document format" is j…

A few thoughts from instant gut reaction: - you're on HN, so you have an opportunity to tell us the name of the thing - marketing - perhaps consider your marketing budget to be the…

I have a bunch of TI-99 hardware in storage, have been thinking to donate it to a computer museum potentially. I had one in my hand when I was 5 thanks to my grandpa (it made me wh…
