About half of the world is within 3,300 km of a village in Burma, close to the Chinese border and not too far from Laos and Thailand.

China and India both have EVs much cheaper than we get in the EU. Like, "<€10k new" cheap.

What I do wonder about is how much of Africa can get EVs; I've only been once, to Nairobi over a decade ago, so take it with a pinch of anecdote-flavoured salt when I say that what I saw there was a lot of 20-30 year old vehicles.

One thing that is particularly annoying: the lack of communication from the governments/police about the status of the investigation, or lack thereof.

Side question: How likely are autonomous reconnaissance drones today?

I'd expect them to be impervious to traditional jamming.

I could imagine a pair of drones, a few km apart, communicating by laser line-of-sight, where the reconnaissance one acquires data, send it to the nearby drone, that one would use it to confirm data and do something else with it (aka, spotter and actor).

This and other comments along with lack of work hours are the main social reasons why the EU has fallen so far behind. I fear if this isn't corrected soon the EU will become completely irrelevant in the not to distant future. What were mountains in the 50s-90s are molehills today

In any case they aren't competing on EUV but on packaging and xray(which probably won't work without new science as it's been done to death) so your comment is moot.

When "higher turnout" is still low enough in national elections that the missing amount is more than the differential in the popular vote, this doesn't disprove anything. You're citing an approximate statistical poll to try to mitigate that, but the entire point of the census is that right now the way it works is to try its best _not_ use those methods and instead attempt to actually get responses from everyone.

You have to know what is changing before you can bend it to your will! Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming marketing faster than any technology shift in the last decade. Yet for many marketing teams, the landscape is noisy, fragmented, and hard to categorize. To unlock real ROI, teams need a clear understanding of what types of GenAI tools exist, where they fit, and how to build a stack that supports content, audience, and revenue goals.

This guide breaks down ten essential categories of GenAI marketing tools shaping the industry today.

They can happen, yes, although this should be a rather rare event (the most common reason would be misconfiguration, such as a K8s pod with too low memory limits). That said, work towards exactly-once has been done [1], utilizing the support for EOS in Kafka Connect (KIP-618).

In particular for Postgres, consumers can detect and reject duplicates really easy though, by tracking a watermark for the {Commit LSN / Event LSN} tuple which is monotonically increasing. So a consumer just needs to compare the value for that tuple from the incoming event to the highest event it has received before. If the incoming value is lower, the event must be a duplicate. We added support for exposing this via the `source.sequence` field a while back upon request by the Materialize team btw.

I worry we are at the doorway to a massive rise in CTE for women, as a result of the otherwise admirable change in participation in body contact field sports. Womens rugby, AFL and soccer is huge in Australia. It's sweeping up the money tree and becoming a lucrative space for sponsors and advertising which I take as a good indicator it's rise in visibility is going to continue.

That just highlights some confusion about Emacs. It’s more akinto Unix and the shell as a whole. That’s why I said VM. If you know perl and have a whole host of utils from a unix box, you can script the workflow you want quite easily, especially if you have access to the cpan libraries.

The same thing can happen with emacs. There’s a lot of low level interfaces (network, process,…) and some high level ones regarding the UI. Then there’s a lot of utils andd whole software built with those. All modifiable quite easily. As another commenter had put it, you don’t even need to save a file. You just write some code, eval it, and you have your new feature. If you’re happy with it, you add it to your config or create a new module (very simple). So elisp covers the whole range from simple configuration to whole software.

Most people here are reading the headline and thinking that they’re pushing to make the census voluntary. The article actually says that they’re pushing to make the American Community Survey (ACS) voluntary. These are different things. According to the article, the ACS was started in 2006 and is conducted every year.

I’m not defending what the Republicans are doing. I’m just clarifying it, so at least people can discuss what’s actually happening instead of having knee jerk reactions.

Not the OP, but yeah that used to bother me when I was younger.

As did any CRTs running below 75hz

My “super power” used to be that I could tell what refresh rate a VDU was operating at just by looking at it. Well, I couldn’t tell past 80hz. But anything below that I could.

Well, we'd probably agree on most things... and re the photography example, afaik model release forms work similarly in the EU and US, right?

Now website code does typically run on your device, but I'd say that once you're a paid logged in user you clearly accepted to run it, under the conditions of it staying in its browser sandbox so... if you think it's "malware" then just stop being a customer. Otherwise software has a right to monitor its own operation.

...but yeah, maybe I missed the context a bit, a tracking pixel style tool will likely be used to track not customers but leads, so I do get your point, it gets trickier there and maybe privacy laws have a point there (as long as they stop there... hint: they usually don't!)

On the topic of what Putin wants, I’m increasingly swayed that domestic politics limit the choices he’s given. I wonder how the same siloviki but a different leader would perform.

On the topic of a wide drone attack coinciding with land invasion, I think (rightly or wrongly) the drone attack will be attributed to Russia early. Even though the life of a Russian soldier is approximately the same as a drone, it’d be very helpful for Russia to manifest the drones in support of some other origin of the troops.

The founder is a known con artist involved in such other things as solving nuclear fusion and stealing $2.5M in a Kickstarter scam.

The cofounder is the founder’s brother and has literally zero documented professional or academic experience.

The company’s job postings are nonsensical and AI-generated.

The company is unwilling to evidence any of its (extremely extraordinary) claims, which have been made on a timescale that makes no sense in the context of the semiconductor industry.

The company’s research facility is, based on photographs that they’ve published, at least two orders of magnitude smaller than what would be necessary.

When you drive to work, you yearn for a negotiation with the local road monopoly?

On cold nights, you dream of a glorious future where an unregulated energy utility could try to trick you into surge pricing?

When you wrote your post, you did so with teeth clenched in disgust at having to use a government invention?

When you take the trash out, you wish it were a bit more exciting, that you had to dodge gunfire from skirmishing warlords?

And so on, and so on, but the point is that a statement you probably intended as a slight hyperbole actually required a staggering amount of "out of sight, out of mind."

Yeah, for me there's something about the sound of the power supply, CPU and (sometimes) graphics card fans, coupled with the ticking of an old school hard disk that takes me right back to the nineties.

I know spinning disks were a thing for a lot longer than that, and were still pretty commonly used up into the 2010s, but they were in general much quieter than hard drives from the 90s.

We're concerned with society's safety, not just that of the user.

Citation needed on your second paragraph. We deliberately shape the information environment all the time for different reasons. It can be done. Of course there are limitations, drawbacks, and objections that reasonable people can make for philosophical, pragmatic, and other reasons. But the media generally does not report suicides because of the copycat effect. Governments implement elaborate systems to guard sensitive national security information including the workings of certain advanced technologies. Criminal records can be expunged. The sharing of health and education records are restricted.

My favorite approach for PDF rasterization was to interop with a simple, custom Java console application that leveraged Apache PdfBox.

This lasted until the log4j exploit, at which point we had to abandon it altogether due to our customers (banks) having a complete meltdown over it at the time.

It's probably still a really good option. I would definitely go back to it in a different context.

Jammers work pretty well. I would expect most large airports would have a defense response. They would have the tools setup to one instantly identify and track said drones come within the space and two have the tools like the portable jammers to “shoot” it down. These tools are not that expensive and exist from multiple vendors.

I would have expected this to be table stakes at running large busy airports.

You seem to be saying medieval life also lacked stress. At any moment: an army could invade and feed itself off of your livestock and grain stores; a drought could guarantee mass starvation in the winter (or sooner); disease could strike down someone you love, and progress infecting others; your own livestock could trample and kill your smaller children (thus city laws against letting hogs forage in-town); you could only put by 99% of the food you will need this winter; etc.

Oh, and a devil might jump out of the shadows, or a witch might kidnap your child, or a fairy, or...

I guess maybe we replaced outright fear with stress.

I don't see any indication that NetFoundry zrok supports end-to-end encryption from the client to the web server. The default configuration definitely terminates SSL on NetFoundry's server, and I don't see any documentation for how to avoid that. There's a TCP tunneling mode, but servers that use this mode can only be accessed by clients that are themselves also connected to the NetFoundry VPN service, not by clients on the public web. What's needed is a TLS tunneling mode that figures out the correct target via SNI, and zrok doesn't seem to provide that.

Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it ideal for embedded systems and lightweight SBCs.

It integrates: Comprehensive Monitoring: Realtime and historical metrics for the host system and Docker containers (CPU, memory, disk usage, and network activity). Integrated File & Log Management: A web UI for file operations and for viewing container logs, right where you need them. Flexible Alerting: A system to set rules on any metric, with templates for sending notifications to Telegram, ntfy, and webhooks. My goal was to create a cohesive, lightweight tool for self hosters and resource constrained environments. I'd love to get your feedback.

What momentum?! Forced super expensive vehicles that are totally incapable of very long distance travel?

All this change is, is forced. Until I can go and do 1000km stopping only for <10 minutes for refuelling of any sort, on a vehicle than can do half or even a quarter of this distance, there is no revolution to be had. A long-term change, sure, but this is just another thing being forced to the market.

Wrong stylus tech for the more recent options. I want Wacom EMR for compatibility w/ the devices I'm using.

That said, I'm kicking myself for not getting the dual-screen Yogabook w/ e-ink display.

If Lenovo (or someone else) would make a version of the Yogabook 9i w/ Wacom EMR, I'd not be able to resist buying one.

"Substrate isn’t stopping there. They intend to run the tools in their own fabs rather than sell to 3rd parties."

A bonkers idea if true. Trying to create TSMC and ASML in one company doubles your challenges. We've seen just how hard Intel has found being a fab and they are using ASML machines.....

Two things are at play:

The problem with your problem is you have a desired outcome. And the other is you are not required to do the heavy lifting.

One method is to find a way to bless "future me". Future me will thank current me sometime in the future and while current me won't enjoy future me's rewards directly, he will think kindly, instead of with contempt.

Wow. I go to bed and wake up to claims it hit the front page. Interesting.

Here is almost the same exact sequence but with constant instructions to remain brutally honest and objective: https://chatgpt.com/share/691b4035-0ed8-800a-bee3-ae68e2a63c...

I was just late at night and wanted to post this chat transcript on HN to share some perspective on what developers are getting from ChatGPT.

I happen to be an expert in this particular area that I’m building.

ChatGPT seems to remember that I am in New York and want “no bullshit” answers. In the last few days it keeps weaving that into most responses.

That fact appears in its memory that users can access, as is the fact that it should not, under any circumstances, use emojis in code or comments, but it proceeds to do so anyway, so I am not sure how the memory gets prioritized.

Here is the interesting thing. As an expert in the field I do agree with ChatGPT on its statistical assessment of what I’ve built, because it took me years of refinement. I also tried it with average things and it correctly said that they’re average and unremarkable. I simply didn’t post that.

What I am interested in, is how to get AI transcripts to be used as unbiased third-party “first looks” at things, such as what VCs would do for due diligence.

This was just a quick thing I thought I’d get a few responses on HN about. I suspect it might have hit the front page because some people dug through the code and saw the value. But you can get all the code for free on https://github.com/Qbix/Platform .

Yeah, there is obviously an element of flattery that people let go to their head. I have had ChatGPT repeatedly confirm the validity of ideas I had in fields I am NOT an expert, while pushing back on countless others. I use it as one data point and mercilessly battle-test the ideas and code by asking it to find holes in them from various angles. This particular HN submission, although done very late at night here in NYC, was an interesting mix of genuinely groundbreaking stuff and ChatGPT being able to see the main ideas at a glance, and “going wild”, while at the same time if I run it with instructions at the start of “be extremely objective”, it still approaches this same thing in the end.

Density is more expensive. Not just because of demand for the area (though that doesn't help), but because density requires different building methods. Your single family house can be built so cheaply because it doesn't have to support the weight of many floors above; nor does it need to be fireproof because in the rare fire you can evacuate. (density means more people are displaced, fires are more likely, and longer distances to get away)

Density is also more expensive because higher costs are worth it. A rural area cannot afford things like library in walking distance of every farmer (every farmer would have to pay for a personal librarian), but in a dense area it is only a couple bucks for each one - but that all adds up to hundreds of dollars in extra costs that less dense areas do without. (you decide if it is worth the cost)

FFT was such a revelation to me when I was learning about the digital and analogue interaction. The Wikipedia page is really quite about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series#Fourier_theorem...

> Another similar email-then-bill situation is me responding to them

That’s not what I’m talking about.

Responding to a company is responding to a request they made for your time.

That said, most contractors I’ve worked with would not bill for a short email saying they’re unable or unwilling to do some work as a professional courtesy. The contractors who literally bill and round up for every email are usually going out of their way to maximize billing, which is eventually accounted for in the rates we’re willing to pay for them. We learn quickly that certain contractors will bill and round up for everything, so the most we’re willing to entertain as an hourly rate for them is lower as we know they’re going to send arbitrarily higher amounts of hours over.

At least with Google, it quotes the pages where it gets the information from. Also, I think you are definitely underplaying the fact that it answers the question in one sentence,as wellas the whole ask a question get a compact answer. I am going to need a concrete example, because in my experience, the AI summary has never even required me to verify the source except out of curiosity, much less click on any search results.

> A core value of America is our right to obstruct any government attempt to improve our lives and I defend that stubborness.

I think this is a reinvention of history, because much of American history, and the writings of the founders, do not seem to imply this. The core value to my understanding is "no taxation without representation", probably followed by freedom of speech (from government). I don't think this is true anymore though, given how many people are happy for the king to impose taxes on them at will.

This is a mechanism by which some oil deposits are thought to have formed, and by which a large quantity of biospheric carbon was sequestered during earlier warm spells, refered to as the Eocene Azolla Event.

Essentially: arctic seas formed fresh-water "lenses" through meltwater, which promoted plant growth (in particular azolla, though likely also algae and plankton). This growth then sank to the sea-floor, depositing as oils (and much ultimately undergoing keroginisation to form petroleum).

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event>

Similar mechanisms have been proposed for addressing carbon sequestration goals in the present, e.g., "CO2 sequestration by propagation of the fast-growing Azolla spp. " <https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8520330/>.

When I used to use cash I used to do this all the time. I would nearly always overpay to minimise the number of coins in my pocket. For example I had a bill of £1.63 and I was paying with two £1 coins, I would get 37 pence in change, which would be a minimum of four coins (20p, 10p, 5p, 2p). So I would pay £2.13 to get a 50p or £2.03 to get two 20p coins.

95% of the time the person serving me would clock on to what I was doing but the other 6% it'd take some persuasion, and occasionally they would insist on giving me back my overpayment before ringing it up.

If it happened in dozens of labs… how the fuck does big pharma hold patents on certain drugs? The existence of a patent means the drug was developed and patented by one entity.

If a molecule, synthesis path, or mechanism has already been disclosed in the literature by multiple labs, then that is public prior art and it cannot be patented.

Therefore, If there were dozens of other researchers coming up with the same drug the patent is legally invalid.

So it seems you’re the one not making sense.

Lacking details, but people don't generally rsync a checkout of a git repo (including a .git folder) to their webspace, so you're right if the hoster did that, I find it more likely the people did that.

On the other hand just blacklisting .git/* is not great, maybe I want to publish something on that path, just like any other filename. It's prone to lead to false positives.

Suburbs are dense enough to support transit as proven in a small number of cities around the world (mostly not English speaking). However suburbs can only support great transit, since anything less and driving is enough better as to be worth it.

NYC has a real cost problem. Digging a tunnel costs a lot - not anywhere near what it costs in NYC. You can also build bridges over the top for a lot less than digging a tunnel. Modern subways should be 100% automated saving the cost of a driver. (I keep hoping we see self driving buses since drivers are the large share of the costs)

Acquisition or acquihire? I don't see a price tag, which seems to imply the latter?

How many players are there in this space? Replicate, RunPod, Modal, Northflank, FAL, ... Who are the big ones? It's pretty crowded, right?

FAL was smart. They ditched the "run any model" to focus on just image and video, and now they dominate that space. They raised a pretty substantial round recently. Though I don't think there's any moat and they'll soon face competition too.

What about these vs. the routers like "Open"Router?
