I would mostly agree, but I like that I can use tmux locally and remotely and thus have the same interface wherever I do my work (and regardless of what terminal I use).

Then, there's the fact that some terminals capture too many keybindings and get in the way of some terminal code editors I'd like to use (e.g. recently I was again trying to use flow <https://github.com/neurocyte/flow> and its next-tab and previous-tab shortcuts clash with Ghostty's). If I had a terminal that 1) was nothing but a black box with the capability to display Unicode font glyphs and ligatures correctly, 2) works under Wayland, and 3) captures as few keybindings as possible, I'd use it locally with tmux and live happy.

Family names are not as strongly correlated with genetics as you might be assuming.

Consider that for each generation the genetics of the family founder are diluted by 50% (assuming that consanguineous relations are excluded). So after 5 generations or so, only ~3% of the heirs' DNA is specific to the family founder.

So, the fact that names per se better predict outcomes than DNA very strongly points to social factors as the major determinants.

The big one, for keeping my focus on the power of repeated, consistent action, and prioritizing my "future selves":

What is likely to happen if I do (or don't do) this thing one thousand days (or times) in a row?

Examples:

- exercising 2h per day and eating right --> I'm going to look and feel great and my health will be far better than that of my peers

- Should I buy these cookies along with the rest of my groceries? If I do that 1,000 grocery trips in a row …

- spending 30+ minutes per day reading the highest quality material I can find; taking notes; and figuring out ways to implement the knowledge and ideas I gain --> …

Not really same thing. If you share the search query, you'll be re-submitting the query at a later time, so the results are likely to be different when the receiver uses that URL. It would be possible (but pretty terrible) to embed the actual search results in the url.

A more reasonable implementation of sharing search results would be to store results on the server and have a storedResults id key in the url.

I selfishly would rather invest in mining asteroids so that we may one day be qualified to manipulate their movements and prevent strikes of any planets in our solar system and to get rich of course. Even if it takes a few hundred years to become qualified for such mining that is a tiny blip in this spacetime and could mitigate at least some civilization ending events. The process of heading that direction is likely to result in many advancements in technology and slightly safer playgrounds to develop more intelligent androids assuming they don't get hacked resulting in dragging and flinging 20+ mile wide metal asteroids at us.

You are aware the product names are cognitive obfuscation that the underlying implementation is just vanilla open source data modeling services right?

Linux. Windows. Both are "operating systems"?

What actual novel data collating and anomaly detection algorithms does Palantir implement that no one else does? Oh that's right these services are all just different corporate branding atop the same old open source stacks and libraries everyone uses.

Why not buy Reolink? I bought one for my parents and it just works for them as well as can be expected. Local storage, local vision recognition of people/pets/vehicles, an app with push notifications. Maybe a little rough around the edges but for a non-cloud device it's pretty darn good.

We got the Duo Floodlight PoE for reference.

> Okay, but sessions are one of the best things about tmux.

Locally or remotely? Remotely I fully agree. But remotely I can't open a new window and my machine doesn't have different workspaces.

> Sessions aside

I'm curious about this actually. The opposite has been true in my experience. What keybindings are you missing? I can keybind essentially any script I want or any set of keystrokes.

> uniform multiplexing of shell windows between local and remote environments is super useful for muscle memory.

I actually have the opposite experience. I mean I can bind ghostty splits to be identical to my tmux bindings, that's not an issue and trivial to merge. But I keep them separate because it contextualizes if I'm "here" or "there". Similarly I ensure that remote sessions have a different PS1 line so there are visual indications of where I am other than one small icon. Without this I find that it is easy to forget which machine I'm in. Had too many problems where I was running commands on one machine thinking I was in another.

I think it does way more than gpt-image-1 too?

Besides style transfer, object additions and removals, text editing, manipulation of human poses, it also supports object detection, semantic segmentation, depth/edge estimation, super-resolution and novel view synthesis (NVS) i.e. synthesizing new perspectives from a base image. It’s quite a smorgasbord!

Early results indicate to me that gpt-image-1 has a bit better sharpness and clarity but I’m honestly not sure if OpenAI doesn’t simply do some basic unsharp mask or something as a post-processing step? I’ve always felt suspicious about that, because the sharpness seems oddly uniform even in out-of-focus areas? And sometimes a bit much, even.

Otherwise, yeah this one looks about as good.

Which is impressive! I thought OpenAI had a lead here from their unique image generation solution that’d last them this year at least.

Oh, and Flux Krea has lasted four days since announcement! In case this one is truly similar in quality to gpt-image-1.

Some Reolink PoE cameras are OK, though a lot of people don't like them. Otherwise I would be looking for Axis (probably one of the best choices) or Dahua gear. Depending on how crazy you want to get, there are some vendors that make really excellent cameras like Costar/CohuHD, but be prepared to probably pay big dollars (and a lot of their stuff like my PTZ are huge cameras).
by EPendragon | 2025-08-04 20:37:16+00:00
Appreciate the detailed answer! I will need to take a look at different terminals to see if there is any other one that can better fit my needs.

I prefer the idea of having one tool to manage everything: from local flow to remote sessions. And I usually do not view images in the terminal. But I'm willing to put them to the test and see if I like one of those more.

Firearms regulations. Abortion regulations. Marijuana legalization. It's been in the political vernacular for a hot minute if you know somebody who takes issue with Wickard v. Filburn.

Which might just be me I guess. But yes, other than the more notorious example taught in schools, it is still an important component of the political system that is putatively intended to curtail Federal overreach. In point of fact, it's arguable State's Rights may be one of the the few remaining bulwark against a federal government being increasingly co-opted to try to force the entire nation to operate in the same way. Frankly, I find this anti-BDS non-sense to be the single most unamerican thing out there, tantamount to co-option of the Federal governments mandate to handle foreign diplomatic relations and projecting it through a layer of domestic funding distribution.

It said that the CC would not automatically be charged at the end of the trial.

However, there's no way to cancel/close your account before the end of the trial and there's no way to remove billing information either.

I ended up emailing support@ghost.org

The reason I cancelled is because the only theme I found I wanted to use (Doks) was $149 per domain.

I found that I can have Cloudflare Pages auto deploy my private Github repo's markdown and render with Docsify (which doesn't need a build step). I still used a build step to automatically generate _sidebar.md and populate it with links based on tags found in each markdown file.

That is a problem, but is not related to my comment. The person I'm replying to is acting as if consent is a relevant aspect of the public web, I am saying it isn't. That is not the same as saying "you can do whatever you want to a public server". It is just that what you are allowed to do is not related to the arbitrary whim of the server operator.
by tempfile | 2025-08-04 20:38:58+00:00
Then turn off the server?

You don't have a right to say who or what can read your public website (this is a normative statement). You do have a right not to be DoS'd. If you pretend not to know what that means, it sounds the same as saying "you have an arbitrary right to decide who gets to make requests to your service", but it does not mean that.

> I could say the same for you.

It, like every other followup response I have written, was a question. Do you mean that you would ask the same thing?

> If you treat everyone this way there is no way people will talk to you or take you seriously.

If asking questions means people will not talk to me or take me seriously, that's fine. What purpose would continually asserting random statements serve?

It's on page 14 of the technical report. They generate synthetic data by putting text on top of an image, apparently without taking the original lighting into account. So that's the look the model reproduces. Garbage in, garbage out.

Maybe in the future someone will come up with a method for putting realistic text into images so that they can generate data to train a model for putting realistic text into images.

That's the thing, there's a big difference between using AI to help you solve a problem and using it to write code that you don't understand (and not take the time to understand it). It would suck to be reviewing someone else's PR and find out you're putting more effort into understanding their code than they did. But these are powerful tools and they're not going away anytime soon

The police reached out to Tesla legal within days and asked if they needed a subpoena. The Tesla lawyer said no, but then directed the police to make their request in a specific way that hid relevant data from police and the victims. It took 5 years to get the data, and only then after a forensic engineer proved Tesla uploaded it by finding logs on the cars black box and after the court was leveling sanctions.

Should companies be intentionally misleading to law enforcement about what data they have on fatal accidents like Tesla?

The question is not how much does this cost vs the value of the company; it's how much does this cost vs the cost to just do things the right way. $329 Million is orders of magnitude more than it would cost to implement the additional warnings and geofencing. It's hard to imagine any possible corner that could be cut that would save enough money to justify that sort of risk.

Further, it's one fee for a single accident. Since then there have been 756 more Tesla Autopilot crashes. If each of those got a similar payout, that would be 80% of Tesla's current market cap. Obviously they won't all payout that much, but if on average an autopilot crash cost Tesla $56 Million to handle (settlement + legal expenses + lost sales), that would wipe out the company's profit entirely. There's no possible justification for leaving such a massive liability in place.

Stone walls were built because of deforestation caused by clearcutting land to make sheep pastures, made wood for fences unavailable.

Hmm I had always thought that the deforestation was caused by demand for wood for heating and cooking.

Something about this sounds incomplete. A farmer isn't going to waste his time making a wall, especially the dodgy disorganized walls that are common in the region. A farmer doesn't need a shallow wall, stone or wood. The walls you come across in new england in the forest look exactly like people expect, a place on the edge of your farm to dump rocks. Now, maybe not frost grown, but New England has lots of rocks everywhere.

I have been working at Kaiser Permanente for 5 years, and there were a lot of doctors pretty good with technologies. And they struggle with Epic, famous for bad UX as well. One doctor even created special windows application, where they recorded mouse/keyboard activity with Epic, and replay them on single button click. Same as anthropic "Computer Use", but in the traditional code. And it was written by doctor, not IT engineer. Later, I worked at startup that tried to create intelligent hospital bed, able to record patient heartbeat, respiration, movements without special sensors. The technical part was all good, but we failed to sell any such bed to hospitals, only a few to nursing homes. Doctors are conservative, plus anything related to medical requires a lot of certificates and compliances. Finally, we give up and made consumer device out of it - Sleep Numbers "smart bed". Companies who sell software to doctors spend much more efforts to satisfy all requirements, and make a deal. Investment in user interface quality does not make sense because all decisions made regardless of it.

"When I first started using tmux, I felt overwhelmed by the very poor default UI that it offers and the amount of options and shortcuts that I needed to know to operate it well and be productive. It took me several tries before I started to feel more or less comfortable with it. One of the things that stood out to me right away was how dreadful UI looked. Not only it felt uninviting, but it almost felt “gatekeepy” - if you don’t know how to use it in this configuration, then might as well forget about it."

EPendragon elaborate on this. It seems like you understand the shell enough to use it productively and customize it to be how you like it. The screenshot this quote is talking about looks like a shell? In what way is it dreadful, and in what way do your customizations make it not dreadful?

For example, it seems like a valid criticism that shells are not very discoverable and a prompt and blinking cursor can be intimidating to a noob, and that surely applies to tmux as well. But then changing the shortcuts doesn't really address that, does it?

To me it seems your article is either saying, "tmux is a pig, and here's me putting some lipstick on it," :) or the problems are not insurmountable, and the solutions are nice but not life-changing.

It's great that you like it better now, and we're all having fun chatting around it about how we configure our tools here on the Hacker News :) But I don't see why it's "dreadful". It's just.. computers, no? Tmux seems no more gatekeepy than any other aspect of computers. And I say this as someone who stopped using tmux a few years ago after getting super annoyed with it.

The broadcasting handles the rank differences automatically. When bonus (at employee level) multiplies with col_adjustment (at office level), each employee's bonus gets their office's adjustment applied, no flattening or manual reshaping. The structure [[[91_000, 63_700], [58_500]], [[71_225]]] was preserved.

This is from a Ruby DSL I'm working on (Kumi). Probably the broadcasting semantics are very different from traditional rank operators in q/APL?

Edit: I realized that I missed the input structure:

Region 0: Office 0 has 2 employees, Office 1 has 1 employee Region 1: Office 0 has 1 employee

no, I think a fair + just world, both parties agree before they transact. There is no force in either direction (don't force creators to give their content on terms they don't want, don't force users to view ads they don't want). It's perfectly fine if people with strict preferences don't match. It's a big web, there are plenty of creators and consumers.

If the user doesn't want to view content with ads, that's okay and they can go elsewhere.

> Relatedly, I don't think full discussions about the design doc should live forever in the design doc. When I was at Google, I hated reading design docs where every line had a convoluted, 20-message comment thread attached to it in the margins. When I owned a doc, I'd drive those comment threads to a resolution, write up a concise summary of the debate in the appendix, then resolve the thread.

Yes exactly, you don't need the entire back-and-forth, but the relevant information should be written down somewhere.

> The connection is trivial: you are upsetting an existing power system, temporarily removing all checks and balances. The new power system gets established by the aggressors, and they have absolutely no reason to hold back. At that point, human nature will simply take over.

Sounds like an argument against radical societal upheaval, rather than argument against any particular social or economic order. I think it's a good argument, but attacking alternatives to our current order with that argument begs the question: can we not have incremental change towards another order?

You also can't argue over whether the machine made the right call over a pint of beer. Or yell at the Robo-Ref from the stands. It not only makes the game more sterile and less following the "rule of cool" but it also diminishes the entertainment value for the people the game is actually for.

Sports is literally, in the truest sense of the word, reality TV and people watch reality TV for the drama and because it's messy. It's good tea, especially in golf.

>Sending someone to a concentration camp doesn’t become justified when the destination is a foreign country.

If illegal immigrants were to voluntarily deport before becoming detained, could they avoid incarceration at CECOT? If the answer is "yes", then it seems their own actions/decisions cause this. Why then should I have sympathy for them?

>But due process is violated even if there is a legal framework to justify it.

What is the exact nature of their due process rights in that situation?

What process is due, exactly, someone who is detained because they have no right to be in this country?

>Whether a person should be deported or not is absolutely worth challenging

The only people who have a say in the matter on whether or not a non-citizen should be allowed to stay or forcibly deported is a citizen. If you'd like to make the case that they should be allowed to stay (as a citizen), then I am willing to hear your argument.

I'm not willing to hear theirs, and as much as I can influence my government, I will demand that it be unwilling to hear their (non-citizens') arguments as well. In court, or otherwise.

>Besides the inhuman conditions that exceed most US prisons, multiple officials have stated that the intent behind Alligator Alcatraz is deterrence.

If you remove a trespasser from your property, it is not punishment... it is remedy. If the remedy (for some reason) deters future trespassing, that still doesn't make it punishment.

Essentially, nations have solidified into what they are because different people have different cultures, while their initial formation was motivated by organizing productivity and easing commerce. Governments help implement useful tools for keeping a people or a nation alive, and highly individualistic societies may not like them to some degree, which is understandable. But the anarcho-capitalism philosophy always leads to city states, which eventually leads to nations.

It isn't clear that Tesla pretended anything aside from a claim in the article. The article: 1) does not directly cite an original source; 2) walks back the claim to "acted as if". The police had access to everything in vehicle the entire time. The civil lawsuit plaintiffs also had access to everything as evidenced by their forensic expert's access. That Tesla also received a copy of the vehicle's data is not relevant.

Is this one of the most expensive places to live in the nation? As population grows globally, I would expect the most desirable homes to outpace others.

Anyways, I dunno how things work in other nations, and real estate is so different that it can be difficult to compare. For example, there are ways to "rent" a home in Korea for an absolutely massive one-time deposit that you eventually get back. England has 14 trillion box homes slammed together with a quarter inch strip of land in the back yard. Japan has people knocking down their home every single time they buy a new property.

I'm not far out of my 20s, and really, all I did on a SINGLE income was (like I said) scrimp and save. We lived in a cheapo apartment until we could save up for a down payment on a condo. That appreciated (as homes do), and now I have enough for a sizeable down payment on a house.

I also didn't take any special routes of privilege, really. I joined the military as a college dropout, served for 6 years, got experience in a career, then left and got a job in the real world. Much of my saving was done while in the military, because especially when you're new, you pay for nothing. Not food, not housing, not work clothing, not healthcare, etc.

Plus, when compared with median salaries, US housing is shockingly affordable.

Because app navigation is not linear like the url history. Think of a popup with tabs within a page. There's the navigation within the popup, and the navigation within the page. When you close the popup, you don't want 'back' to bring the popup back, you want it to go to the page before the popup. This is hard to replicate with just urls and server side rendered html.

Also you don't want that store server side because there can be multiple parallel tabs and you don't get notified server side when the tab is closed to properly cleanup the associated resources.

I've been playing with something similar, but far less thought out than what you have.

I have a script for it, but am basically waiting until I can run a powerful enough LLM locally to chug through it with good results.

Basically like the knowledge tree you mention towards the end, but attempt to create a knowledge DAG by asking a LLM "does card (A) imply knowledge of card (B) or vice versa". Then, take that DAG and use it to schedule the cards in a breadth first ordering. So, when reviewing a new deck with a lot of new cards, I'll be sure to get questions like "what was the primary cause of the civil war", before I get questions like "who was the Confederate general who fought at bull run"
