Combine Hasura (automatic GraphQL on top of PostgreSQL) with React Admin (low code CRUD apps) and you can build an entire back office admin suite or form app (API endpoints and admin front end) in a matter of hours.
This adaptor connects react-admin with Hasura: https://github.com/Steams/ra-data-hasura-graphql
1. No-Code Tools 2. GraphQL 3. Oculus Quest 4. FPGA 5. Netflix for Gamers 6. Windows for Linux 7. Notion 8. Animation Engines

Ubuntu, ParrotOS, Kali Julia Lang is fun For devops, Pulumi/CDK I watch graph dbs but they all suck or are too expensive or have insane licenses (Neo4j, RedisGraph) Differentiable programming, Zygote, Jax, PyTorch, TF/Keras Optimal transport (sliced fused gromov-wasserstein) AGI, levin, solomonoff, hutter, schmidhuber, friston Ramda is amazing George Church’s publications im also super interested in molecular program…
Web Assembly It's interesting in a bunch of ways, and I think it might end up having a wider impact than anyone has really realized yet. It's an ISA that looks set to be adopted in a pretty wide range of applications, web browsers, sandboxed and cross platform applications, embedded (into other programs) scripting, cryptocurrencies, and so on. It looks like it's going to enable a wider variety of languages on the web…
JITs may approach native performance in theory - but the battery consumption and memory consumption are not very good. ("Better than JS" is a low bar).
As hardware becomes stronger, I would like to do more with it, and when it comes to portable devices, I want more battery life. Nothing justifies compiling same code again and again, or downloading pages again and again like "web apps" shit.
I understand where developer productivity argument comes from. But we can have both efficiency and developer productivity - it is a problem with webshit-grade stacks that are used today that you can't have both.
I personally think flutter model is future. You need not strive for "build once - run anywhere". You can write once and build anywhere a cross platform HLL and that's better.
As for sandboxing, maybe it is that your OS sucks (I say this as linux user); Android / iOS have sandboxing with native code. You shouldn't need to waste energy and RAM for security. IMO enforcing W^X along with permission based sandboxing is better than webassembly bullshit that is pushed.
And webassembly itself seems to be a rudimentary project with over ambitious goals. JS bridge being so slow and not having GC support ("To be designed" state) make it unusable for many purpose. Outside HN echo chamber, not many web people want to write in rust or even C++.

I'm an FPGA engineer and I doubt they will go mainstream. They work great for prototyping, low-volume production, or products that need flexibility in features, but they are hard to use (unlikely to get better in my opinion) and it's hard to see where they would fit into a compute pipeline given that you need to transfer the data to the FPGA, perform your computation/processing, and then transfer the data back. That…
>it's hard to see where they would fit into a compute pipeline given that you need to transfer the data to the FPGA, perform your computation/processing, and then transfer the data back. I see them going mainstream when brain computer interfaces go mainstream (prob a long way away) since a lot of it (in my experience working in a couple of labs and some related hardware) depends on processing a lot of the data from t…

I never really paid attention to consoles (not a gamer in any way) but the ps5 sounds impressive. Shame Sony have a very Apple-like approach to their products and lock everything up. If they bundled up that hardware with linux support, sales would go through the roof and into orbit. I'd personally get a bunch of these and build myself a cluster.
Maybe they sell the H/W at a loss (especially considering R&D + Marketing spend) - and the real strategy is to turn a profit on PSPlus, licensing and taking a cut out of game distribution. If that's the case... you or me building a linux cluster will actually hurt them =)
Self-driving cars. Now that the hype is over and the fake-it-til-you-make-it crowd has tanked, there's progress. Slowly, the LIDARs get cheaper, the radars get more resolution, and the software improves. UE5's rendering approach. They finally figured out how to use the GPU to do level of detail. Games can now climb out of the Uncanny Valley. The Playstation 5. 8 CPUs at 3.2GHz each, 24GB of RAM, 14 teraflops of GPU,…

Rainway: https://rainway.com/ Google Stadia: https://stadia.google.com/ It's not even about gaming. Fuck gaming. It's about the underlying streaming technology. Imagine this same tech being used by a surgeon to perform surgery remotely. That's the type of use case I'm thinking about!
