Known dine-and-dasher - no, I think you should be forced to serve them. You don't know if they're going to dine and dash you, you're not the police or the courts, punishing a dine and dasher. Your job is to serve food to those who pay you. If you've got a problem, make them pay for food first?

Consultant - unless you've got a legitimate need to reject providing services to them, I tend to think the same, you should have to serve them if they're trying to pay you, or there's a legitimate business need to avoid that client.

Transport company - it's not your job to judge what's being moved. It's your job to move something from A to B. If you want to avoid moving livestock, don't go into the transport business. Should that same vegan be allowed to not teach kids in school because the kids they teach eat ham sandwiches? Should they be allowed to reject someone from banking services just because they own a fur coat?

The argument wasn't about chips specifically, but contributing in general. If your city has a workforce that produces something, you can use the money from selling that stuff to buy, for example, food. If you don't, in western countries, mostly the welfare state steps in. And that's okay, we humans are social animals and I wouldn't have it any other way. But the welfare state has to be backed by productivity. Food and other stuff has to be produced by someone.

And when we're talking about international relations, if your exports don't cover your imports, eventually you'll go bankrupt.

I almost get the feeling the only thing Intel thinks it has left in terms of value is the brand name itself; a blue sticker to put on consumer/business devices, nothing more. I also would have liked to see Intel continue to pursue its own GPU technology but the engineering culture required to keep that going might have died a long time ago, and the MBA vultures running Intel are only just now burying it for good.

K6-III was never excellent. It was a short lived overpriced option for desperate socket7 users unwilling to do the sensible thing and upgrade whole platform (brand new Celeron 300A + 440BX motherboard cheaper than just the K6-3 cpu alone). Paper launch in February 1999 with first real chips shipping in March. First K6-3 to show up in Japan was K6-III/400 at hilarious 35,500 yen = $295! https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/990313/p_cpu.ht... This is the price of full Pentium II 400MHz or over four almost year old by this point and still faster Celerons 300A.

By January 2000 prices corrected to saner bus still delusional levels https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/20000108/p_cpu....

K6-III/450 14,550 $140

K6-III/400 8,980 $85

Celeron 300A $57

First time Duron shows up in Akihabara is June 17 2000 https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/20000617/p_cpu....

Celeron 533A 10,570 $100

Duron 600MHz 9,990 $95

K6-III/450 24,800 $236 haha whats up with that price? Either AMD stopped shipping already and its leftovers or its a sucker tax for ss7 owners wanting to max out.

K6-III/400 14,800 $140

K6-2/550 7,949 $76

K6-2/533 5,970 $57

K6-2/500 5,350 $50

Week later https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/20000624/p_cpu....

Celeron 533A 9,980 $95

Duron 600MHz 9,480 $90

K6-III/450 24,800 $230 AHAHAHAHAHA

K6-III/400 15,800 $150

K6-2/550 7,940 $76

K6-2/533 6,700 $63

K6-2/500 5,300 $50

Looks like by the time Durons showed up nobody was bothering to stock K6-3, only 3 vendors in Akihabara had them. Those crazy prices werent limited to Japan, Poland September 1999:

Pentium III 450MHz 1260 $308

Pentium II 400MHz 943 $231

Celeron 366MHz 348 $85 (300A missing from the list, but was still available and selling cheaper)

K6-III/450 1108 $271 HAHA

K6-III/400 877 $215

K6-2/400 397 $97 haha

K6-2/350 230 $56

For a brief moment in 1999 AMD pretended K6-3 was equal to Pentium 2/3 and tried to price it accordingly but market corrected them swiftly. There was a 1/3 performance gap between K6-3 and overclocked Celeron.

Well, he can do everything to your phone, software and data by pushing software updates. When there was a dispute in the former project copperhead he deleted the cryptographic keys, blocking software updates. Paranoia could result in just making the system more secure, but why not add a backdoor to find the spies in your userbases that communicate with the black suited men that secretly run our government? After all it is easy, they all play a specific game where they communicate via secret messages in chat.

You just don't know what will happen is what I'm saying.

The "he has root" is also a reference to ubuntus shuttleworth.

The article mentions the lack of a swipe keyboard, which is an issue for me.

There is an option though: Heliboard with a custom swipe configuration applied (which is apparently sourced from Google, I'm not sure how "grey" that is).

It definitely works as a swipe keyboard, but it's just not as good as GBoard. I will persist, however. I hope that it's learning at least...

Unfortunately, the policies you get from any party that is disciplined over decades in putting long term power plays ahead of good governance is ... more long term power plays.

I usually can think of at least a few plausible/possible solutions to most problems. But I am not at all sure what the Democrat's right response should have been.

However, a severe lack of legal tolerance for businesses that use technology to super-scale poisonous conflicts of interest, like surveillance backed ads and media feeds algorithmically manipulated for addiction/attention behavior would have been part of it.

Zuck should have been put away for life a few accidental genocides ago. (IMHO)

> Right now, the only thing that makes credit cards a better proposition is being able to pay without having enough money in the bank, and maybe enjoying greater protection from fraudulent merchants. But I believe even that will change in the future, to the benefit of Pix-like systems.

Does Pix offer something like credit card rewards? I understand that you ultimately pay for this through fees that make prices slightly higher, but it is still an incentive to use credit cards over other payment methods.

I second this opinion, with some additional nuance.

While I don't think the developers necessarily hallucinates being attacked (i.e. given the nature of the project, I would expect them to be persons of interest, be it from surveillance agencies, or even state actors), the main issue with Rossmann is their claim that he is either personally directing harassment against GOS, or colluding with and encouraging other communities to harass (mainly Kiwifarms, Techlore, CalyxOS, and other Android related FOSS projects). This claim seems to originate then cascade from Rossmann leaving the comment "Informative, but unfortunate" on TechLore's video criticizing GOS's leadership. This is taken as explicit support of TechLore community's / KiwiFarms alleged harrassement on the lead GOS developer, and this has somehow been cascaded and blown out of proportions, and considered by GOS developers as evidence of Rossmann's wrong doing against them.

As mentioned somewhere else, I am using GrapheneOS since 2 or 3 years now, based on Rossmann recommendations. The software is very good, pretty much native Android experience, but without the extra alleged Google snooping / root access. Rossmann himself seemed to have stopped using it as his main device because of fear of retaliation given that the GOS devs could potentially target him. Better safe than sorry. I still use it because I am not that high profile of a person, and generally will use throwaway when it comes to discussing anything GOS related at this point. The overall leadership however, based on Rossmann's and later my personal interactions with them however, did leave a bad after taste.

> The private citizen has the option to pay cash, bitcoin, trade goods or services, etc...everyone is[n't] entitled to convenience in every situation.

These options aren't small impositions, they're sufficient added overhead that they dwarf the value of the transaction itself. Bitcoin is the only one of them that seems vaguely realistic to me, but most people don't (and shouldn't) keep their own crypto wallets and don't (and can't) get paid in crypto, so that still requires interaction with third-party processors on two levels. It needs one level to convert fiat to crypto and vice-versa and another to conduct the crypto transaction.

Put another way, the sites that are shutting down this content clearly have substantial financial incentive not to do so. If they thought they had a reasonable alternative, don't you think they'd be using it? And if decent-sized companies with financial incentives cannot find an alternative that seems practicable, what makes you think private individuals are reasonably able to do so?

The broader issue here is one of monopoly, and I guess it might be helpful to zoom out here a bit. Do you think a company with market dominance should be able to engage in (otherwise legal) anticompetitive practices to suppress new companies in their domain? If it were up to you whether to have anti-trust law, would you have it?

If yes: isn't this essentially the same problem? These payment processors have a duopoly and are suppressing alternatives who would take these payments (and might outcompete them in the market on that basis).

If not: are you not concerned about a failure-state where monopolies (a) control critical sectors like finance with an unbreakable grip, (b) intertwine that grip with governments who want to circumvent civil liberties protections to suppress private action, and thus (c) become a de facto shadow government whose behavior - by virtue of being nominally private - isn't subject to constitutional protections or court oversight?

Back when Genetic Algorithms were a hot topic I discovered that a large number of papers discussion optimal parameterisation of the the approach (mutation rate, cross-over, populations etc) were written using '1-Max' as the "problem" to be solved by the GA. (1-Max being attempting to make every bit of the candidate string a 1 rather than 0)

This literally made the GA encoding exactly the same as the solution and also very, very obviously favoured techniques that would MAKE ALL THE BITS 1!

It depends what banking apps you use. Some are available. From my observation major banks in Poland work just fine. You can pay via NFC using the mBank app if you need to. Revolut also works fine. gPay just doesn't work however therefore you cannot pay with this via NFC. I use my Garmin watch to pay for all things in physical stores anyway, so no need for NFC payments anyway.

Well that's a bit of a balancing act, isn't it? "Why isn't this feature on the site, it would be more useful to me; also, that feature is annoying and useless to me" - says literally everyone.

Thus, we get a built-in editor (less friction, yay/too rudimentary, boo) and popups (OSM events, yay/Popups are now everywhere, boo). And endless discussions on "this should be more/less prominent."

I don't think there's any official edict, but the approach "I don't like this and I'll make my own version" is at the very least workable (as opposed to, say, Google Maps).

We can speculate. But I bet the fact that the supply chains needed by a US plant stretch across the globe (mostly back to Taiwan, Japan, and Germany) has something to do with that. In Taiwan, supply chains are local. Things like wafers might not be produced in the US yet.

You can hop in a car and visit them. In the US they are across the Pacific and in a very different/inconvenient timezone. It's a 15 hour gap. 9 am in Arizona would be midnight in Taiwan. And there's the anti meridian running through that so it's a day later over there as well. And the business days barely overlap.

I bet all that adds some friction in day to day operations. Lost time, shipping delays, miscommunication, etc. There are solutions to this, of course. But I'm sure that adds complexity to an already complex business. So, limiting that overhead to just 5-20% sounds pretty good to me.

I would only say that they have become maintainers if they consistently do so, over time. Including helping out in areas which is not directly useful to them. And thinking about the whole picture, not just individual features and bugs. And also putting in the time when it is needed, even though other obligations are pulling at them. Of course it is somewhat of a continiuum. And it always starts with being a contributor. So that is on the right path.

It's often about getting benefits out of transactions you're going to make regardless of how you pay for it.

If you're going to buy groceries, does it matter if you pay cash (debit) or use a credit card? The credit card gives you some percentage of that purchase back in rewards, which you then redeem on other things such as airfare, hotels, dinner out, uber, etc.

Think of it like a coupon that's valid everywhere, and every time you use it, a tiny sum is deposited into a savings account.

Pay it off at the end of the month and it's pretty much free money. Credit cards also have better cardholder protections, security and safety than using debit cards or cash.

Some people use credit cards for every purchase and become highly skilled at maximizing card rewards. This is also why many will say card fees don't matter - you often accrue enough rewards to pay for the fee itself plus lots more, making the fee irrelevant. The fee is there to compel you to use the card often enough to exceed the fee's value.

Memories.ai has redefined how we engage with the past. By using conversational AI to recreate lost voices and personalities, it offers a deeply moving experience that blurs the line between memory and presence. The emotional intelligence of the tool is remarkable — not only does it mimic voices, but it also reflects the tone, cadence, and emotional subtleties that bring loved ones back to life in ways previously unimaginable.
Show HN: Strength Journeys – Visual dashboard for GSheet barbell lifting logs
by ConstrPlus8561 | 2025-07-25 07:18:52+00:00
I built Strength Journeys, a free open-source dashboard that turns your Google Sheet lifting log into visual insights.

I've been working on this for about 3 years - teaching myself React (Next.js) and Javascript.

It’s designed for long-term barbell lifters and strength nerds who already track workouts in spreadsheets. All processing happens in the browser—no backend, no login, no data lock-in.

It has an openAI API "talk to your data" and a lifting coach feature.

Feedback very welcome—especially if you lift or track data in Google Sheets!

I personally am a 51 year old garage powerlifter. The app helps keep me motivated.

> The reason manual safeties are going away is that for side arms, time matters A LOT. Gun fights are typically over within just a few seconds and the person who fires first has a huge advantage.

I know there are a lot of people who share this opinion, but speaking as ex-military, I think it's quite disingenuous and dangerous. Real life isn't some old-fashioned Western film where draw speed matters. If an adversary is malicious, carrying a round in the chamber, and decides to pull on you, he has the element of surprise. There is no real-world situation where you are really just that much better at drawing and firing accurately that you will out-draw an adversary who drew on you first, with the possible exception of Special Forces / Navy SEAL types who drill it ad-nauseum and had 99th-percentile reaction speed to begin with. But thinking that ordinary people can do it is sheer hubris. Thinking you can do it from concealed carry is utterly laughable.

In a real world firefight you're either close enough where martial arts is relevant or you're not. If martial arts are relevant, then the guns are irrelevant. If you're further away, what matters is whether you can get behind cover, which will give you time to unholster your weapon, disengage the safety, and chamber a round.

You don't decide to carry a gun in public because you think it will save you if someone walks up to you from behind and decides to shoot you in the back. You do it for the times when gunfights are not resolved with the first shot. Responsible citizens carry their guns in such a way that prioritizes the safety of those around them before their own personal safety.

The fiduciary duty is whatever the shareholders make of it, there is no need for it to be just monetary. If they were planning for long term instead of short term profits they would be making sure the company is still the world leader in 25 years. But since big investors are either pension funds or hedge funds (aka greedy bastards) you get earnings above all else.

"Read the full email before freaking out" would probably be appropriate. This article is deceptive because it does not show the full email and only shows the phishing part. The full email is definitely in the format "scary text here" "actual google message", so something like "Give us all your money or die has been created as a google app", which would raise an eyebrow even in the most non-technical person.

To put it simply, the (at the time) lead developer of GOS and Rossmann had some disagreements.

At the time, Rossmann was mainly using GOS, but due to what he perceived as hostile behavior from GOS toward him through their communication, he opted to stop using GOS (at least on his main device, as he claims).

His rationale was that the behavior of said lead developer was not "rational" and "scary", and since the developer has not only edit access to GOS code but also update publishing infrastructure, Rossmann's data or himself could be targeted through malicious code pushed via an update, for example. While GOS is opensource and malicious code or exploits could be detected by the community, he himself did not have confidence to audit the source code to make sure it was safe, hence his decision to stop using.

By risk factor, I think the grandparent suggests that something similar could happen to someone else using GOS, the risk factor being essentially at the mercy of GOS developer, would they wish to harm said user.

> no matter how bad Trump gets, at least he doesn't claim yet that the sky is green

Just coal then?

Trump speaks nonstop nonsense. His policies don't even make sense to what is left of the Republican Party that isn't "all with him".

The left does get shrill about equal rights, but then, the people they aim to protect have been persecuted. I mean people actually brutalized for just being themselves - and I am talking about friends and family and ambulances, and surgeries after surgery. And now, Trump's idea of finding balance is to continue/resume denigrating many classes of people. So that's not an issue the Republican party comes out ahead on right now.

I personally don't understand why anyone would label themselves right or left. Group identification is disastrous for balanced thinking. Like noticing the left is shrill, but not noticing the right's idea of balance is to ignore or celebrate second class treatment for millions of people.

Group identification is also ruinous for any kind of actual innovative thinking, as apposed to ideology. Reality and reason have nothing to do with political power alignments. The runaway centralization of power within the two parties has become the biggest impediment to US competence.

Security doesn't mean you have to go feed the cows and leave behind everything.

In fact, a core aspect of security is having access to a feature in the very first place.

A forum, being hosted on the web has absolutely no reason to stay away from the de facto scripting language of the platform. What would be your threat model for that forum? A zero day that would break the whole world?

I'd like to see a system like that that also integrates taxes. That is, it tracks total income for each payee each year and deducts taxes based on the appropriate tax bracket. It should also support sales tax and state income tax. That way, all that you need to do is appropriately mark the transactions and tax compliance is done. You could even mark business expenses in it and have deductions automatically processed.

Someone could lie about the nature of their transactions, but that's called tax fraud and it's already possible and we already have mechanisms to deal with that.

This is a very interesting summary indeed, however I think matters are simpler and noone needs to dive that deep.

Unfortunatelly, EVERYONE, from all parties, fire shots for the wrong reasons, which perverts the discussion.

When you say to people to not use GOS because the lead dev is paranoid or the community is hostile you are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The value GOS brings is undisputable. The quirkiness of the leadership is also undisputable. Let's decouple the two. If you wish for the community to get better, become yourself the better contact point amd generally focus on suggestion on that matter. Don't say to people to not use arguably the most secure android rom!

I used to respect Rossmann a lot, but he fell in my eyes both for the LTT and the GOS incident. I have been watching LTT since a kid and I know that his has grown to be a jerk without looking at his private communications, but his competitors fired shots at him for the wrong reasons (honey case) and so did Rossmann, riding the wave.

If you want to criticize someone for being a jerk do it, but do it for the right reasons, don't muddy the waters by injecting other stuff in the discussion.

Cool study. I really want to believe the results, but the effect on life extension is so large (see figure 2B) that I find it hard to. Maybe there was some uncontrolled confounding factor? It is noted in the 'Methods' section that 'Researchers were not blinded to group allocation [...]', which is unfortunate.
