Zero Knowledge Contingent Payments are one approach. Encoding everything that you might want to buy as an input to a ZKP system is a stretch, obviously. But at least, that's the spirit of this philosophy.

Possibly dumb question. But does this prevent developers working on different platforms? My understanding was that the specific files installed could depend on the architecture of the system being installed on?
>Fisetin reduced senescence in a subset of cells in murine and human adipose tissue, demonstrating cell-type specificity.

As someone who works and publishes in a related field, this particular phrasing should be interpreted as meaning that Fisetin is unproven as a senolytic.

I already feel sorry for the future historians who are going to have to parse thousands of broken Twitter threads when they study this stuff.
Isn't Tacit knowledge what ML actually learns?
What do you mean by 'worse is good'? Remember the 'separation of concerns' wrt HTML/CSS was at a time when JSX, lit-html, web components et al did not exist. There was no easy way on the front end to do something like this:

function PrimaryHeader({children}){
return <h1 className="text-red-500">{children}</h1>
}

<PrimaryHeader>...</PrimaryHeader>

Thus, the 'separation of concerns' and many thousands of hours of developer toil ensued to both completely separate, yet still closely bind, style to markup by way of class names. There's no point to have a .PrimaryHeader class in a world of web components and atomic CSS (Tachyons, Tailwind, etc.)

Even absent of an atomic CSS library, I still prefer inline CSS to making up arbitrary class names; my entire codebase can be JSX files, and every component is self encapsulating. I don't see this as 'worse' in any way.
rsync.net has a special pricing tier for Borg users that might be worth looking into.

For serious? The top of my kids heads smelled intoxicating for the first 6-9 months. There is still a special scent but not quite the same. And I smell it on other babies, too. It’s like smelling breast milk, but emanating from the Fontainelle
Neat package.

For reference, the field of looking at future civilization direction w/r/t climate change is called "Integrated Assessment Models," and DICE (from Nordhaus) is one of the most used and also open source https://williamnordhaus.com/dicerice-models . Here's the UNFCCC page on them. https://unfccc.int/topics/mitigation/workstreams/response-me... .

All models are wrong, some models are useful.
I still have an old personal website[1] that uses Server Side Includes. I’ve been meaning to convert it to something newer for many years, but it chuggs along.

Next time I switch servers I won’t setup Apache so then it would need to be solved.

[1] It maybe gets updated once a year.
This doesn't seem to be a rare bug, but intended behavior as hardware components fail: https://www.backblaze.com/safety_frozen.html

Also, the official solution (checking all backed up files manually) is genuinely awful, even if this were actually a rare bug.
Antiwork hasn't achieved anything except spamming a job board for a few hours
I agree. There needs to be a substantial effort in web development to shed the bloat. Clean and small reduces issues with resources, security, and maintainability. The status quo is gross.
Irrelevant in terms of appearances, I think? It’s not a crime to delete a captured video of a person. That discussion is more about underlaying AI, which isn’t involved in this demo.
our applications cannot make outbound connections from logging (they have to go through a specific class/function/service/factory that sets up all the metadata like mTLS, proxy, etc), and any non-mTLS attempts don't work, along with any to "not recognised" endpoints.

I noticed on thursday thanks to HN and mitigated before 2.15.0 released, and have done nothing all weekend.

i want to know who the fuck on earth actually has a use case of loading a class and running it inline from a logging call rather than calling getUserEmailFromLdap(ou, principal).toString() or something
I'm a game dev and I spent a lot of time trying to merge the physics system with the player character (PC) control. You basically have the options of letting the player controls try to physically manipulate the PC by inserting forces, or skipping physics entirely for the PC and implement something separate ad hoc.

I spent a lot of time on both and read a lot about the issue, and most end up skipping physics on the PC, because it just feels worse controlling it realistically. This might be because we're used to that though. Anyway after all, you're making a game and games have to be fun to play.
Great, another HN comment from someone who read the first sentence or two, was enraged by a duck analogy and decided to hit reply.
Yup. Sounds pretty terrifying.
but is "capitalism at its best" the same as "humanity at its best" or even "humanity at its pretty goodest"? Does the average person without capital want capital, or do they want... to live a happy, stress-free life? right now, obtaining capital is a way to achieve that _because_ capital is so unevenly distributed, but it's not the end game of humanity. caveat: I'm not an academic so I could be missing a very obvious piece of nuance in what "capitalism" means in the context of this discussion.

I am aware of the community edition, which the most recent versions have a VERY restrictive license on the acceptable uses for the community edition

The fact this edition exists does not change my point, or really add anything of value to the conversation
Off topic, but don't you think you'd garner more support for the victim if you don't obscure the situation behind a overly complicated written headline?

"Lactating employee" - really?!
Spot on about the physics. For me, the thing that really gives it away in the white room is Keanu's hair. The way it moves it just off.

Super impressive demo though.
The Great Formation
Companies do submit alterations. Whether or not it's adopted into the streams is a different matter. Some don't submit but many do. The real problem isn't contributing to open source. Companies have teams of developers that contribute packages to open source projects as part of their portfolio of duties with the company.

The problem is no one wants to work on the day-to-day issues that need maintaining to keep the project afloat. Sure companies will pay to incorporate this feature and that feature and the community will submit this bug-fix on this new widget, but day-to-day maintenance to keep the code base alive is left to bit-rot. It's like the newspaper website for your local town. There are links to and from older stories that lead to broken webpages, but no one wants to update the links yet new content is posted on the newspaper's site each day.
Taste and smell are definitely not consistent between people.
That would be very frustrating. I've been using B2 to store my encrypted backups (via Duplicati in my case) and that has been solid (and cheap) in both backup and restores. For those leery of their personal backup solution, maybe go that route.
Solving this problem means providing a workable solution to the people in power, which in this case is homeowners. Can you find a solution which lets them keep their financial gains but also shifts the status quo? If not, they will fight you and win.

One wonky approach might be to introduce some form of government seizure over time, like a scaling progressive rule based on the quantity of property owned that is actually a forced sale to the local housing authority. So over a period the extra housing equity would be owned by the authority and redistributed, while the existing homeowner gets cash but not the property. This particular concept feels flawed but something which produces wins all around is easier to get moving.

As for building the movement, a crisp rallying cry and lines of communication to local stakeholders is key. You probably need to search around for the location with the right mixture of local activism and receptive leadership, in the same way that many startups benefit from specific locations.
Just yesterday, for no reason at all, I decided to re-watch "Interview with the Vampire" on Netflix. Weird coincidence, and a really, really sad news.
I am not a father, but I have experienced this same effect from babies (related and unrelated) on numerous occasions.
Deliberate practice can also be developed in fields unlike music and math and chess, such as the pursuit of mastering experimentation & discovery which also takes a lifetime to never entirely master itself.

The combination of tacit knowledge with deliberate practice is especially powerful, even more so when augmented by working smart, in addition to working hard rather than instead of working hard.

Leveraged furthest when applied to a foundation of natural unfair advantage of some kind or another.

Over the longest lifetime you can muster.
Thanks for the advice and your feedback.

For the authentication, I'm using the Next-auth.js library, and what I get from Github is only your Id, name, email, and avatar URL. That's it. Not sure why you've seen "full access".

I'll think about the free tier. And for the pre-orders, yes this is something I've though about and this is definitely something I'd like to avoid. I'll probably unlock the fund only if the instructor delivers (for first time instructors for example) so that I protect the students from losing their money if the instructor does not deliver and run away with it.

VCL, not VLC. Visual Component Library.
Well, sure, but in the context of a discussion forum it's less helpful, and usually the goal of writing it publicly is to deter potential happy users. We see this often in software support forums where someone has a rare bug and is offended that others won't stop their usage because of it.
I suppose that makes sense, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
> What stops all of the landlords from just pricing the tax into rent?

Nothing stops them from doing that at all; in fact they should.

Total rent = (rent from the improved structure on the land) + (rent from land)

Landlords should be given the right to extract money from people because they have built a nice house for renters to live in. Where Georgism disagrees is that that landlords shouldn't be given the right to extract money from people simply because they own land there (the second part of the equation). Or to be more precise, a large chunk of the money extracted from land ownership gets taken from landlords so that they don't derive much value simply from owning land and doing nothing with it.

That incentivises landlords to increase the value of the building on the land (e.g. higher density housing, batteries and solar panels, longer-lasting structures) in order to increase the portion of the rent that the landlord gets to keep.
Could this or some other chemical play a role in postpartum depression?
Can confirm. But hey Peter Thiel then recommended him to Trump for like some government positions.
> Going by either the Senkaku Islands or the Diaoyu Islands, depending on which side of the argument you’re taking, they inspired a request from China to members of the Maps team to make them appear larger, even when viewers are zoomed out on the map. According to The Information, not only did Apple eventually make the change, but even today, for viewers using its map from within China, the islands are still shown at a larger scale than the territories around them.

Surely, altering the physical reality of Earth to appease the CCP is going too far. This isn't just a territorial dispute that can be addressed using different labels, this is subverting the very purpose of maps themselves. They might as well be changing the outcome of 2 + 2 because the CCP told them to.

I'm an otherwise happy Apple customer but I find this absolutely appalling.
You would call out to JNDI in a logging statement. That would cause the remote class to be loaded and executed during the log statement evaluation.

A nefarious attacker could inject such a JNDI reference in a field (like username or whatever) and if you wrote your log statements in a manner that didn’t expect such injection to happen, it could become part of the log format instead of a log field value, and this would be executed.

Think of it like SQL injection but with log statements and way worse because it calls a class that can be hosted on a server of choice. And the code that can execute is arbitrary and not limited to the database.
To be fair, the Ronin car chases (and a lot of similar) exploit camera angles and FOVs to make a slow moving car feel fast. So they are not as realistic as you think either..
> If so, then you logically also must agree with this (which equates): "I don’t agree with condemning the research because it involves myself"

It certainly does not equate. I think the point you're getting at is that it is wrong to experiment on animals. I personally don't agree, as I think there's a large gradient within experiments, ranging from "making the animals really suffer", to harmlessly "measuring the size of the animal each day". I'm not being especially brave when I say that I don't advocate for making animals suffer needlessly. Nobody wants that. But the reason for the concept of "model organisms" is that it would often be unethical to perform those same experiments on humans, so we need a proxy.

The choices seem to be (and honestly, please correct me if I'm missing an option here. I can be pretty dull on occasion.):

1. Don't perform the experiments

2. Use a human

3. Use a proxy

I personally would not choose 1 or 2 (depending on the experiment of course). The best proxy right now seems to be other living organisms. I'd rather that wasn't the case, but well... it is.

And for what it's worth, I wouldn't advocate for people experimenting on you either. I adore animals (especially mammals!), but I just empathize with humans much more.
I am Australian. What you are trying is impossible in this country. The last time a political party announced some policies like restricting negative gearing in last election they lost the "unlosable" election.
Your premise is actually wrong. People can buy and own a house in this huge country of Australia, just not easily in inner to middle ring suburbs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Even that would be better as there is fuck ton of inheritance coming down the line in next 10-20 years.

Australians like backyards and outdoor and hate to live in appartments. I would say change your social movement to policies like encouraging "work from home" with better NBN, better transport and high speed rail to de-centralise work etc.
This writeup is unsubtle in being a puff piece. The demoed tech is very impressive! Individual stills taken from the video are pretty convincing.

The motion version definitely still exhibits uncanny valley, though—lights that are too hard on flesh, tightness and sharpness where there should be softness. That I have to resort to hand-wavey descriptors is cool; they’re getting close! But crossing uncanny valley is HARD.

What this demo convinces me of is not that we’re there; we are not. Claiming that we are is disingenuous, and makes me distrust the claimant. But it makes apparent that we will get there. And that’s impressive.
It can't be better. That's the point.

If someone told you that it can't be better, and it was the truth, you'd get pretty outraged at them when another person claimed that it was all just bad design and that they didn't want you to have the better thing.

It's pretty obvious when you have no emotion to channel.

Comparing apples to oranges is an easy way to get anyone upset. After all, who wouldn't want both?
Just over 6 years ago now. I'm still working out my damage claim to the city with my lawyer and was discussing the differences before/after to claim with friends when they gave me their outside perspective*. So that was fine by me. They normally don't mention it; we're just getting on with our lives. Also, to be clear, I'm really not that bad off; I'm used to it and can live a pretty normal life.

*) E.g: Not being as good at board games as before; more forgetful, slower, struggling with words etc. Noticeably also especially in cases where I experience my what I call 'brain fatigue'. A really weird thing to get used to besides the usual physical and sleep types of fatigue. I think it used to be aligned with sleep but now I usually get this before I get that.
Maybe public workers should have access to public housing too?

If public housing is more attractive than private then property price problem solves itself.
It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

This was my message to them:

> Hi, I was safety frozen. How can I find out the cause? I haven't made any significant changes to my system lately. In the support document it says that I should check if any data is missing - I have a lot of data backed up in backblaze, how can I know for sure nothing is missing or corrupted? How should I proceed?
I've checked with CrystalDiskInfo and it seems that all SMART data is fine. Computer behaves normally. I've attached bzlogs and bzreports folders, just in case they're important.

And this was their response:

> Unfortunately there is simply no way to confirm what caused a safety freeze from our end. We can only provide the most common causes in this case, however we wouldn't be able to pinpoint the exact cause. The only way to verify any missing/deleted data would be to access your View/Restore Files page and cross reference what is found on our servers and what is found locally on your system. There wouldn't be any direct or automatic method of checking what data is missing, if any.

Edit, New Update:

> I apologize, but this would in fact be the only sure fire way if you are concerned about any deleted files. There wouldn't be a way to compare hashes the way you describe in this case as that mechanism is simply not implemented into the Backblaze software. The Backblaze software is intended to prevent data loss. It would not be intended to be able to automatically cross reference local and server data against each other to display what is and is not backed up on our servers.
instead of peak oil this model suggests we are now in peak population? Funny

Interesting package. Neat work
I get some nostalgic value out of using SyncTERM to connect to a BBS and poke around, but the only things I really miss are the ANSI art and the hyper-local feel of the chat.

BBS's were my introduction to networking and I love them, but I think I'm too spoiled by advances in user experience. I'd love some kind of a modern hybrid.
This is a garbage article.

title: Food is more expensive than it has been in decades

article: only mentions statistics like "largest 12-month increase since"

headline/article discrepancy aside, since since the food component of CPI usually outstrips overall inflation[1], it's almost guaranteed that "food is more expensive than it has been ever", even if you do adjust for inflation. "Food is more expensive than it has been in decades" could mean anything between mass famine + bread lines, and normal inflation.

I think it's mostly about where the team puts their attention and how to make the best use of the finite production time and budget. Such demos (or games in general) are like fractals, an infinite amount of people can spend an infinite amount of time getting every little detail right and still not cover everything.

E.g. the goal was probably to show off the new Nanite and Lumen rendering features, and probably MetaHuman for the main character faces and facial animations. At some point you have to say "ok, we focus on this stuff, and accept compromises for other things". If the team's goal would have been to create the best crowd simulation or environment interaction ever, they would probably have achieved this, but at the cost of other things.
I think a good approach for you to take here is Paul Graham’s “do things that don’t scale”.

Buy your own land, build a multi-unit building, and then rent it out to people at a fair price.

You’ll come away with a much greater practical understanding of the issues at hand than you’ll ever get by trying to organize people over the internet, and you’ll have tangibly helped yourself and a few other people.
Yes, that's exactly the issue - that I don't know if/which files are missing/corrupted.
Maybe when you have actual consciousnesses hooked up to it that would die without it.
Take PHP with composer: it works quite fine, but still you need all the dependencies downloaded from somewhere on Internet. Just a PHP script and the PHP interpreter works, but this is not how 99.9% of the software is written.
Do you own a house?
The cloud is a great availability tool for personal work.

It is a poor backup for personal work because the terms and conditions are for B2B.

The terms and conditions are suited for contractual obligations under due diligence. They allow a business to avoid negligence claims when something goes wrong in a third party contract.

The service is not designed around the sentimental value of baby's first steps. Stop paying for storage and it goes from viewable on everyone's iPad to gone.

Personal work should be backed up on physical media. Multiple copies in multiple locations. If there's a copy in the cloud, that's convenient. But it is not durable.

Good luck.
> introduce some form of government seizure over time

And if you don't want your property seized because it's valuable to you, maybe you could pay the government a percentage of the price of the land to prevent that from happening.

... which is interesting, because Australia already has a land value tax. All we need to do is increase it.
A nice fee structure they have.

Minimum Investment:

I like this approach, is there something specific you're using to automate this at least in part? I feel like it could be made into a simple service with very limited JS to make it less "slow", unless you decide to manually approve of a comment.
I use rsync.net and borgmatic[1] backing up about a terrabyte. It's about the same price as S3 (with no egress charges, cheaper if you use just their Borg plan[2]) and you can backup a multitude of ways from rsync to zfs snapshots.

It's not as user friendly as something with a GUI but IMO anyone on HN should be able to get it working in about 30 mins.

>So can you elaborate what is better (and works better) about the design of a car centric "stroad" City compared to a walkable city?

You still don't get it. That's a shame.

Have you looked at the US on a map? Do you know how much of the US is low density housing?
That can't possibly be how it works. No way.
I like Hammerspoon, but it's a bit of a pain to write the scripts with Lua - I don't use the language often and it usually takes a while to figure out syntax and necessary stdlib/Hammerspoon functions. Does someone have a hint on how to set up e.g. VSCode or IJ with Lua support and completion for Hammerspoon functions?
How hard do we have to hit it to drain the battery ;-)
Also, there are no “average height” leagues, where extra tall people are allowed to unfairly compete while everyone pretends that they’re of average height, because they “identify” as being 5'9" tall. Average height people are not an oppressed class that fought for decades to have leagues where they could compete with each other, only to suddenly face a new reality where extra tall people identifying as “average” are admitted to their leagues.
