When it comes to feature set I think raindrop.io might be the closest one caveat emptor I have never used it, just watched from afar.

Otherwise? I guess you should evaluate what are your consumption habits to understand the least you could get away with. Maybe syncing bookmarks across devices if you're using the same browser could be enough. Maybe sharing or copy pasting links to a messaging app installed on multiple devices is good enough. Do you need an app that downloads and stores the content of a web page for later offline reading in a condensed distraction free format like the Firefox Reader View?

This should even hold for non-US salaries? This is a machine that enables you to work for about four years. What’s that 200k € in /median/ EU wages. Penny pinching. The thing is that consumer and prosumers vary and everybody wants to drive a Porsche to work And to leisure.

Not blaming anyone for wanting a machine like this. Trying to point out that tech has become so accessible that we all aspire to have a supercomputer as our daily driver.

When I was young a PC (xt and on) would set my dad back about a monthly wage. What I see is a huge compression of the price range. But the upper part of the range still exists (training LLM is not much different from the central computer at universities in the 70s/80s).

Under MS-DOS such utilities existed and it was also used to demonstrate interrupt hooks in assembly tutorials. To do this, they'd:

- change INT 13h (the disk access routines in the BIOS) handler address

- write a handler that clicks the speaker or draws something to video memory without modifying any input registers

- pass the input over to the original handler which will complete the disk operation

- return or remove the return address of the inserted snippet from the stack and let the original handler do an IRET

The end result is e.g. an ASCII smiley face blinking in one of the corners of the screen in text mode or a similar style of crackling/screetching from the PC speaker.

I'm assuming fuel being cut off is salvageable if not in the middle of a densely populated city, especially if above a plain or water. So it could be the favorable option in case of an engine fire.

Also, such complexity would introduce additional points of failure - as a sister comment mentions, a faulty altimeter (or whatever sensor) could prevent you from cutting off fuel when you need to.

> Do those larger alcohol compounds have known downsides similar to ethanol (e.g. carcinogenicity)?

From a cursory search, yes. It is more toxic than ethanol, even in gross terms like LD50.

Aye, it never happens but it does sell a lot of books ;)

I don't think we'll reach this promised land™ until incentives re-align. Treating software as an assembly line was obviously The Wrong Thing judging by the results - problem is how can we ever move to a model that rewards quality perhaps similar to (book) authors and royalties?

Owner-operator SaaS is about as close as you can get but limits you to web and web-adjacent.

The Soviet Union and China are/were not and have virtually never been socialist countries - they are/were state capitalist economies.

Socialism means "corporations are owned by the people working in them", as in co-ops. State-owned corporations under brutal dictatorships are in no conceivable way "worker-owned". They all called themselves socialist just as they called themselves democratic - as in, basic propaganda.

This is very relevant in a discussion of left-wing VS right-wing economies. The Soviet Union and China are firmly in the right wing in reality, just as much as Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy were. They just had different propaganda.

A small note: state owned companies under actual Democratic societies is a more complex topic on the left-wing VS right-wing debate, that I won't go into here.

I found it worthwhile to move my desktop to another room by using long, 50ft cables (DP1.4, USB 3.0, powered USB hubs). I also have a pikvm connected to Home Assistant so I can press the power and reset buttons using a ZigBee remote. The desktop lives in a Sliger 4U chassis in a rack with my NAS, networking gear, and a UPS.

My office room is now absent of both noise and heat generated by my desktop and it's so much nicer for it.

You keep comparing appliances to general-purpose devices. You also act like the "accept to continue" legalese actually matters to anyone but the legal department that wrote it. Please stop.

When someone buys a car, they usually don't expect to run third-party software on it. They use it to get to places. They expect to use the built-in entertainment system to listen to music and maybe use CarPlay or Android Auto, and that's it.

When someone buys a smartphone, they expect to be able to install apps on it. That's the smartphone thing, that's what sets it apart from dumbphones. Third-party apps are what sells smartphones.

> Apple devices are successful because they provide a great value.

Uh sorry??? It may have been true 10 years ago, but an iPhone costs around $1000 now. That's outrageously expensive for what it is. You can say that about midrange Android phones, but definitely not about iPhones. You pay this much and still don't get to actually own the damn thing.

> for example they didn't allow apps to run continuously in the background so that users can have all day battery life

How is that related to the app store? Android does that as well. An app only gets to run in the background if it starts a "foreground service" which shows a persistent notification.

Sandboxing apps and enforcing their behavior does not require limiting what the user can do with their own device.

> This requires continuous work to keep it running

It absolutely does not. If iOS stopped getting updated 5 years ago, no one would've noticed. It's been a finished, feature-complete product for a long time.

And not just for audio. In fact, I don't care about audio that much, and they're still some of my most treasured technical books (I have them in print form, and still reference them online pretty regularly).

Those changed my life, in a sense. Not my professional life, but outside of work it led me down a deep rabbit hole into mathematics, digital signal processing, and even analogue electronics and some light RF engineering. (This is not relevant to my professional life, since I started to take great care not to make any more of my hobbies my job.)

I spent endless hours thinking about this stuff on my commute, and hunched over Matlab.

The other book I recommend is Richard G. Lyons "Understanding Digital Signal Processing".

Old-fashioned-guidebooks, like the other commenter said, can be useful... but IMO it's a gamble.

One option if you're looking to avoid Kyoto, but want something that still feels sufficiently old world, is Kanazawa. You can take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to get there; ever since this line was opened it also has its fair share of tourists, but it's way less popular than Kyoto and IMO very nice. Old Samurai town out on the western coast of Japan.

If you want history that's more somber, and you're already visiting Osaka, just take the Shinkansen a bit further down to Hiroshima. The atomic bomb museum there is IMO required viewing for seeing and understanding the impact those events had. The Nagasaki one was even more powerful of an exhibit, but frankly to go to Nagasaki you need to fly (a Shinkansen exists but it's not a fully connected route at this time).

I'm out drinking at the moment so I'm not about to write a novel, but whenever you go to book your stuff you can feel free to email me (should be in my profile) and I'd be happy to help figure things out. People should visit Japan - I don't ever want to gatekeep it; I just think people should avoid chasing the same beaten path. :)

Electricity prices are static since at least the 70s https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/electricity-...

Total electric production is stagnant over the same period https://www.iea.org/countries/united-states/electricity

If you want to grow value in an economy, how do you do it without growing energy supply and reducing energy cost? Intensive growth (the economist's answer to infinite growth on a finite planet) can only do so much for an economy as we continually add more valuable things to spend energy inputs on.

Ultimately the process of taking an input and making it more valuable is an application of energy.

How hard would it be to power all data centers via solar panels attached to batteries?

The area of solar panels needed to power data centers is .. maybe 100x the area of the data center?

Only a tiny percentage of the USA is covered by data centers. Maybe 100 million square meters? That would be something like 0.001%.

Then covering 0.1% of the USA with solar panels could power all data centers.

An interesting comparison.

Table saws sold all over the world are inspected and certified by trusted third parties to ensure they operate safely. They are illegal to sell without the approval seal.

Moreover, table saws sold in the United States & EU (at least) have at least 3 safety features (riving knife, blade guard, antikickback device) designed to prevent personal injury while operating the machine. They are illegal to sell without these features.

Then of course there are additional devices like sawstop, but it is not mandatory yet as far as I'm aware. Should be in a few years though.

LLMs have none of those board labels or safety features, so I'm not sure what your point was exactly?

Not entirely sure: everywhere I read about solar + storage, there are huge errors bars. Eg : https://www.lazard.com/media/eijnqja3/lazards-lcoeplus-june-...

Solar+storage : from 50$/MWh to... 131$/MWh !

Go make a decision with something like that.

The trend is clear, for sure, and it will make sense to extrapolate... Up to a point, as usual. (baring one of the "breakthroughs" that make it to the HN top page on e in a while and never materialize... Sigh)

>mental fog, cognitive overload, wrong muscle memor

Agreed. The sequence of events also supports this.

I believe one of the pilots made a terrible muscle memory mistake and cutoff the fuel instead of raising the landing gear. This would explain why the landing gear was never raised, why the pilot who was accused of cutting off the fuel denied it (in his mind he had only retracted the landing gear) and why the engines were turned back on after presumably realizing the mistake.

I'm sorry, what are you talking about?

Let's do some math. Today, there are approximately 8.2 billion people living on the planet. The current rate of increase is that there will be ~2billion more in the next 60 years.

Even if the population starts declining for some reason, it would still take centuries even millenia before it becomes even remotely problematic.

This is utterly illogical. Who in their right mind would commit a crime with a 100% probability of getting caught?

This isn't a classic embezzlement of public funds, where the people receiving the money are also the people deciding whether it was well spent or not and hence could easily divert some of the money through behind the scenes deals with contractors without getting caught.

The "embezzlement" here is on the level of getting an invoice and not paying it.

They do have a robots.txt [1] that disallows robot access to the spigot tree (as expected), but removing the /spigot/ part from the URL seems to still lead to Spigot. [2] The /~auj namespace is not disallowed in robots.txt, so even well-intentioned crawlers, if they somehow end up there, can get stuck in the infinite page zoo. That's not very nice.

You have to time it spy movie right to ensure dying.

This is what I am debating.

There are too many variables you need to account for.

For example, I want an expert opinion about the tone in the cockpit when the other pilot said “No, I did not touch it” or what was said. Is it calm? Surprised? Cold?
by schobi | 2025-07-12 07:48:14+00:00
So... The setup was already running and they happened to catch the Feb 8 in incident? What a luck!

There is open distributed monitoring for all kinds of signals, like seismometer networks, weather, ads-b... Is there anything like this for the power network? Like a reference design or an esp32-shield?

How would it look like if we were serious?

I would make it three phase, with direct coupling to also see the exact voltage changing over the day. Sometimes we have issues with local voltage rising too high and PV inverters shutting off. I'd like to see and log this. An audio ADC should be good, but needs three channels.

For distributed sensing and logging, you would need a reasonable accurate time synchronization. Raw ntp over internet might not be good enough, at least not for localizing fault propagation issues over the whole continent. Better stick a 5€ GPS module on there.

Anybody seriously working on this..?

> Why did you make that remark, if not to damage YC's reputation?

Seems harsh and cultish to assume malice. He didnt say you parents have false credentials

I would say calling out people and institutions like that is important so as to keep them honest, and if they arent honest and are trying to grift/defraud people then they deserve the reputation loss

> He is losing close to zero by blocking you, but preventing a potential big loss.

Thats great for gary, but the rest of the world isnt there waiting to be optimized for his benefit. If people trust YC to incubate good talent, but feel its becoming a hub for grifters, then some accountability is in order. Institutions are beholden to their public stakeholders, even private institutions, because they still have people who are using and supporting them

It’s a little difficult to describe as 5-meo-DMT is not a visual type of trip. In fact I get almost no visuals from it even at relatively high doses.

I would describe 5-meo as a trip that gives you an immediate understanding of how life and the universe “works” at a very fundamental level. Your perception changes from analytical type thinking to all of a sudden just knowing how everything fits together and how you can control reality around you. A bit like pulling the curtain back and seeing the source code of realty but then also intuitively knowing how to manipulate and rewrite it and seeing the effects of that in real time.

I wish I could explain it better.

In terms of ROA between vaping and IM get the same type of knowing but from a different perspective. Injected feels like your personal programming code gets rewritten and you have a reality shift to having administrator privileges while vaped feels like the person that wrote the code is a co-pilot in your head explaining how the code is written and how it executes to present as reality to you.

There’s definitely a lot of overlap between each roa type though.

What I describe above is also my experience after dozens of trips with 5-Meo. The first few were definitely more confusing and at times overwhelming as the perspective shift can be severe. Once you get experienced though it’s a fun way to cruise around in “reality”

I use Augment extensively and find it superior to cursor in every way - and operates as an extension. It has a really handy task planning interface and meta prompt refinement feature and the costs are remarkably low. The quality of output implantation is higher IMO and I don’t have to do a lot of model selection and don’t get Max model bill explosions. If there’s something Cursor provided that Augment doesn’t via extension it was not functionally useful enough to notice.

There's undoubtedly a cohort of tourists that come to Japan with the "Disneyland" mindset, and I agree that some sort of government-level change is needed to curb abuse. But I would like to believe these folks are in the minority.

I think a greater proportion of the tourist population are individuals that visit Japan and maybe haven't done enough research, or are just unaware of norms here. Not understanding where to queue, how to order, navigate public transport, what to do at a temple, onsen, etc. This group isn't the 15% of "Best in Class tourists" Craig writes about, but rather the 75% that want to be respectful and don't know any better.

Many locals/expats will see this group and look down in disdain (or lament about them in a blog post...), but why don't more people just ask if they need help? It takes little effort to point someone in the right direction, and if it helps them better understand the country it's a win-win for both tourists and residents alike.

I feel like people love to talk about how considerate Japanese culture is, but don't care to practice it themselves when given the chance.

I've looked into it, it's mostly from Asia and South America. It's not surprising, Facebook is big there so they probably use their reach with the big app to push their own twitter clone.

I won't be surprised if thread userbase grow over twitter user base in the next year, but their ad revenues will still lag behind as a North american or EU user is "worth" more (a lot more if from the US) for advertisers.

Video would definitively show whether either pilot moved these switches or if some other mechanism caused the movement. The aviation industry has consistently resisted cockpit video recording despite decades of available technology. The pilot unions argue privacy concerns, but cases like this demonstrate the value it would have. Current audio captured the pilots' denials, but without visual confirmation we may never be able to definitively determine who turned the engines off.

Yes we can, indefinitely, and doing so saves money relative to fossil fuels (which are currently about $8T/year[0]) and nuclear (which is on the expensive side of electricity compared to fossil fuels anyway).

Just like all the fitness content.

Get couple shredded guys and gals to show off how fit they are so everyone feels guilty they are snacking past 8PM.

Sell another batch of “how to do pushups” followed by “how to do pushups vol.2” with “pushup pro this time even better”.

Where in the end normal people are not getting paid for getting shredded, they get paid for doing their stuff.

I just constantly feel like I am not a proper dev because I mostly skip unit tests - but on the other hand I built last 15 years couple of systems that worked and were bringing in value.

Thx for engaging here.

Can you comment on how the filtering impacted language coverage? E.g. finweb2 has 1800+ languages, but some with very little actual representation, while finweb2-hq has just 20 but each with a subdsantial data set.

(I'm personaly most interested in covering the 24 official EU languages)
