i love that we get these comments, even 20 years later. the phone costs what many (most? even?) folks on HN make in a day, after taxes.

You think most folks on HN are making $500,000 after taxes (being charitable and assuming "in a day" means a working day)? Moreover, does one commenter have to represent most folks? If someone makes less than $500,000, are they not allowed to voice their lack of desire for a phone that is affordable for the alleged majority who do make $500,000?

something around 20% of the site is from the bay area, where that is a somewhat middling salary, so yes.

and of course they can voice it, it's just boring; the point being there are more than plentiful amounts of folks that can trivially afford it.


> something around 20% of the site is from the bay area, where that is a somewhat middling salary, so yes.

What the hell, 500k after tax in california is likely close to a million before taxes. This isn't middling, even in the bay area.


agree to disagree

Come on, most people are not making 700k a year even on HN. Probably closer to $300k at the high end and there are a lot of Europeans on here so probably closer to $100k.

you would be surprised; i would bet on the plurality being > $300k. hard to survive on much less in the bay area, in any case.

will buy it for the kid cue feature alone; what a neat idea. i mainly use my iphone for reading books and taking pictures of my kids so the format will be perfect for me.

Reading might be the one use-case for a foldable phone when you're on the go. Even so, a basic Kindle fits in a purse / fanny-pack just fine and is much more comfortable on the eyes.

agreed about the kindle being more comfortable, but, the best reading device (+ camera) is one you always have on you.

the author of the study? albert einstein.

(lmao if you are actually talking about that janky wash post "study")


Political correct for a certain class of americans : "You need to understand that nazi actions were good for Germany, the economy was in shambles, on the east, there was this revolutionist countries that was eating babies and on the west, Germany mortal enemy."

sometimes i just really enjoy comments that are just so amazingly breathtaking in their stupidity. it's such a treat.


He's right though beside the point about NYC (if it were awful why do people pay for it). Americans love the suburbs, i'd imagine most non Americans would like them .

Americans are just rich enough and lucky with geography to be able to have them.


... his whole point was that people don't want to live in cities, which is just factually incorrect. just baseless, pointless idiocy that is just par for the course on HN these days.


i've recently built a very complex healthcare application in dioxus and it's been a tremendous joy to work with. right now it's web-only, but the app does run fine as a desktop app when we need it.

having SSR built in means that the UX is amazing - really complex pages load basically instantly, and it degrades just as easily for folks that haven't loaded the WASM. server functions were also fantastic to work with and easy to reason about. and, the hot reloading they built means that most UX changes are reloaded within a ~few seconds, meaning iterating is fast and (mostly) painless.

the native component library dioxus has (dioxus-primitives) is... sparse so i did have to build out a hundred or so basic components, but i've done that across various stacks 5-6 times now over my career so it's a fun little journey at this point. for the components they do provide, the quality bar is very good.


Does it allow you to do things like: take this font at 20px, outline it with a stroke of 2px, turn that stroke into a path, then use that path as a clipping mask, then render this image using that mask.


When you specify the stroke width of 2px and then turn it into a path, are you expecting the outline of the font to expand? Is the 2px stroke centered on the original glyph path, so 1px is "in" in the glyph and 1px is "out"?

I take your question to basically mean "can it expand or shrink a path?" and "can it use a path as a clipping mask?"

Or did I misunderstand and you want to only show the image within the 2px sliver itself?


Don't worry about the specifics, I'm just asking if it can do modern 2D graphics well.


I know that was the general point of your question, but I'm still curious what you expected the end result to look like. I've been doing some 2D graphics work recently with bezier curves and image clipping, so I did actually want to worry about the specifics :)


that's not really the purpose of the library. think of it more like react.


What components were lacking? Is what you've built accessible somewhere?


no, it's not open source. beyond basic things like amending the styling primitives to be aligned with our aesthetic: - missing primitives (toasts/cards/stacks/inline editable fields/alerts/chips/inputs, etc) - domain heavy components (eg, autocomplete, charts, in our case FHIR renderers) - app systems (eg, i built an actioncable like system which has realtime support for dioxus)


I would love to see this @octernion. Im very interested in health care apps.


hopefully can share some more about it one day!


congrats, lev! brings back fond memories of database fires.

i'm sure you'll get 100x comments about "why not just have one fast SSD? it can do 2000 trillion writes/s"


Thanks! Yup...to be expected. If you know, you know, and have the scars to prove it :)


ah yes the famine was because the people were lazy and did not want to farm. the history understander has logged on for everyone here!


do... do the "poison" people actually think that will make a difference? that's hilarious.


It works for Russian propaganda, I can't see why it should not work for shitty code


How would you do it better?


Let the kiddies have their crusade


Kiddies? Why are you trying to demean people?


that was precisely my reaction as well. phew machines will deal with the timestamp issue and i can just sit on a beach while we singularityize or whatever.


You won't be on the beach when you get turned into paperclips. The machines will come and harvest your ass.

having played that when it came out, my conclusion was that no, i will definitely be able to be on a beach; i am too meaty and fleshy to be good paperclip


Sorry, we need the iron in your blood and bone marrow. Sluuuurrrrrpppp.... Enjoy the beach, or what's left.


Much better sources of iron are available.

More likely we get smooshed unintentionally as they AIs seek those out.


We need it all... oh, wait, you're not silicon... sluuuuuurrrrpp...


I don't get it - if they're coming for me anyway, then why would I need to move my ass from my beach chair?


does he think truly think e.g. opus 4.5 is "plateaued"? i really can't even vaguely take him seriously if he actually thinks that. what a silly man.


what do you mean?
