Very cool, I'm a big fan of web component libraries over vue/react ones. I did notice a couple places where mobile doesn't seem fully supported.

- Disabled outline buttons get a focus color - Dialog close modes all seem the same on mobile, click the backdrop to close. Maybe this is intended?


What's your concern here? That she lead nonprofits? She seems overly qualified to run a separate nonprofit to me.

Why would the government dump any programming language for anything non security related, let alone for the actions of a third party nonprofit? PHP is still governed my a committee of approved voters like always, not by the PHP foundation.


>What's your concern here? That she lead nonprofits?

They chose a religious zealot to lead their project. All I saw was virtue signaling and DEI initiatives. That's so 2021.

>Why would the government dump any programming language for anything non security related, let alone for the actions of a third party nonprofit?

PHP is enough of a security nightmare for anyone to dump it. Considering how anti-DEI/woke the current administration is, it'll be an easy choice.


FWIW this was fixed in 2020

I've not used PHP in anger in well over a decade, but if the general environment out there is anything like it was back then there are likely a lot of people, mostly on cheap shared hosting arrangements, running PHP versions older than that and for the most part knowing no better.

That isn't the fault of the language of course, but a valid reason for some of the “ick” reaction some get when it is mentioned.


PHP had its issues like every language, but also a minimal memory footprint, XML/SOAP parser, and several SQL database cursor options.

Most modern web languages like nodejs are far worse due to dependency rot, and poor REST design pattern implementations. =3


> languages like nodejs are far worse due to dependency rot

Yep. Node-based projects sometimes get an “ick” reaction from me similar to PHP ones for that reason. In this case it also isn't really the languages fault, but the way people have built the ecosystem around it.


You're forgetting that they are also training with real data from the 100+ million miles they've driven on real roads with riders, and using that data to train the world model AI.

> there's probably no examples in the training data where the car is behind a stopped car, and the driver pulls over to another lane and another car comes from behind and crashes into the driver because it didn't check its blindspot

This specific scenario is in the examples: https://videos.ctfassets.net/7ijaobx36mtm/3wK6IWWc8UmhFNUSyy...

It doesn't show the failure mode, it demonstrates the successful crash avoidance.


A well designed dark mode UI is just as readable as a well designed light mode UI. The issue is a lot of designers design light mode then just try to invert for dark mode rather than actually designing for dark mode. I'd imagine your post would exist for light mode if we had started with dark mode as the default.

This could be correct if astigmatism was rare.[1]

A lot of software is dark-mode first but it's still not right. Good dark schemes are just really hard to design, there are just too many nuanced differences. Color perception is maybe 10% of it. Typographics, line thickness, optical balance, accounting for massively increased contrast, antialiasing, layout, picture rendering, absolutely everything should be done differently on dark backgrounds.

And it depends too much on your environment, the type of display, and its pixel density, unlike in light mode which is way more forgiving to external factors.


What fundamental human rights are being lost by outing someone's ideology? I am not making a claim here, just asking for clarification.


It's not about outing ideology, it's about publishing personal information. And I believe privacy is a fundamental human right (yeah, bold take in this day and age but I'll die on that hill).


I agree with the rest of your point but I dont think its factual to say the majority of the country voted for trump. 77m/343m or ~20% of the country voted for trump, though I'm sure this is what you meant to say.


1. The majority of voters voted for Trump 2. People who don't vote are like fine with whoever wins like "What pizza? I'm fine with every pizza you bring"

Yes, 5 year olds didn't vote for Trump.


False. Comment demonstrates ignorance of the electoral college and disregard for fact. Even among eligible voters who did vote, Trump got less than 50% of votes.

You don't need > 50% of the votes to make a majority when you're pool is more than 2, which it was. Weird thing to hang your hat on.


Majority means > 50%. Perhaps you meant plurality.

Regardless, US presidential elections do not depend on getting a majority or even a plurality of popular votes, but rather on a majority of electoral votes. And Trump did not get a majority of popular votes as claimed.

This being HN, the fact-check seemed appropriate and I stand by it.


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/majority

Of the definitions, seems like the third is correct for this context:

3 : the group or political party having the greater number of votes (as in a legislature)

>And Trump did not get a majority of popular votes as claimed.

I would think that he did.


Trump won less than 50% of the popular vote.


Does this acquisition preclude implementing an s3 style integration for AWS bedrock? Also is IMDSv2 auth on the roadmap?


What makes this a better option than just using an API with well formed output?


Having an API would mean people actually build useful things and potentially stop “engaging”.

Having an MCP server allows them to jump on the AI bandwagon while being pretty useless and not a threat to any “engagement” some of their employees are measured on.


It's just easier to integrate and flight aggregator Apis are rarely public


If all we did was supply arms to our allies who are under attack without making egregious profit off of it, then yeah I think folks would feel better about the MIC, but as you're well aware we are only granting small shipments of weapons along with big demands including currently asking Ukraine to give up it's land to russia. We also have a long history of giving weapons to sow chaos around the world leading directly to things like isis and others. Arguably worse than that, we're now using these military weapons to suppress liberty in American cities.
