Reason why is as you state:

>geopolitical fantasy of putting a suitable planetary-scale transmission system in place

That combined with geo-politics, war, big oil etc.
ecognize -> recognize

(Though I'm not sure if the typo was intentional.)
If you read towards the end, a healthy baby was born.
The sentence is perfectly fine, you just missed the "r" in "recognize".
Not directly related, but this reminded me of some reverse engineering work I did some years ago at a laboratory that was using a 17 year old, but still fully functioning, medical eye scanner whose companion software was so old that it had become increasingly difficult to run it.

The software was released in 1999 with only one minor update in 2001. Even the manufacturer had lost all instances of the software, and once we contacted them to ask for guidence, they were not able to give any and in fact ended asking us to send them the software so that they would have a copy of it.

And so we decided to completely reverse engineer the serial data connection and recreate the analysis display. It did take around 3 months of work, with lots of testing, but we did it.

Since then I often wonder how many medical devices are thrown out simply due to issues with the companion software, and how nice it would be if there was an initiative like this for writing FOSS drivers/software to interact with them.
Firefox is irrelevant with a marketshare of 7% and it's not needed. What is needed is a true competitor for Chrome not a long forgotten fever dream.
It is easy, works with old scanner and I am happy with that UI!
This does indeed seem to work for me, but the repeated emphasis on the patents and trademarks makes me suspicious. It looks like a company who cares much more about patent royalties than about their invention - whom I would never be willing to give my money to. Having seen the principle, I could write a browser extension in an hour. I suppose I'll have to wait 25 years (or whatever the French patent expiry length is), though.

If you want to read the patent (in French), it's here: https://data.inpi.fr/brevets/FR3052587. I couldn't find the German patent (10 2017 112 916.2), but I'm guessing it's the same substance.
What you're saying essentially means that we can no longer use cheap and/or uneducated people for things from kindergarten, even creches to high school. PLUS of course, all sorts of supporting services, from sport clubs to child protection. Anyone who doesn't have the qualification that matters (ie. a university diploma in a STEM field, in this case, NOT pedagogy or ...) should be removed and kept out of those professions. We have to use qualified people, who have the qualification we target for the kids, and have to kick most of the current ones out, maybe even make it illegal for them to continue to their chosen profession anywhere.

Additionally, we would need to provide various ways for kids to spend more of their time at school (how else are you going to lessen parents' influence)?

And then, after holding on to such an investment for 18 years (a bit more), we will begin to see results?

Aside from the cost, because this would mean 300% raises, minimum, for teaching staff, this would be a social bloodbath, and the education sector will fight anything that goes 1% in that direction to the death.
The new features don’t live in that cluster, but they have to interact with it as it holds all of the core stuff.

E.g. codespaces is literally a web IDE, so extensively interacting with repositories and accounts would be involved in pretty much all if its tasks.
The terrorism threat has always been more media then reality with reactors though. The idea of these small reactors is that they're not big complicated structures, so there protection needs are different - i.e. the reactor body can be built into the ground and concreted over until its time to decommission it.

Such a unit would be pretty close to impenetrable to any terrorist threat - there's no building to crash into, no structure or employees to attack. The literal attack surface is greatly reduced - and any operation to penetrate the unit would be large, highly visible, and take time.
Perhaps a model to calculate the effectiveness of birth control pills.
We were taught "speed reading" in my first year of an electronics diploma. This feels very similar. I found speed reading only good for searching through text. Comprehension and memory goes out the window when I try it. If I want to get information in fast text to speech at 4x speed is more effective.
You know what they say…the real gold is in the comments. This comment is why I love this website.
The problem with any cellular data network is the pricing model.

The model of a capped amount of data per month (or worse, exorbitant fees if you go over) means a lot of use-cases aren't possible or lead to "data anxiety", while being a poor solution to congestion because data caps don't do anything to discourage simultaneous usage in crowded areas.

A pricing model of charging for bandwidth tiers would open up more use-cases as your cellular connection becomes truly unlimited just like your home connection is with no risk of extra fees.
thank you so much...fixed
Ask HN: Any services that function just like GitHub but with total E2EE?
Are you using Jitsi via Docker? I was self-hosting a Jitsi instance for a while for my friends, but among all the services I'm hosting, it required the most work and broke all the time. At some point I gave up and we're now using either Signal or, if Signal can't do what we need, some public Jitsi instance that we trust.
I don't understand your comment. It would make sense if Spotify had been using Google for payments and was now planning on introducing their own payment processing.

But what's happening is the exact opposite, Spotify has been using their own payment processing on Android so far and are now planning to add Google payments.
> Interesting. What is that you dev?

I'll chime in here. I have the same experience (Julia, R, JS, and a little bit of C/Python). I have an M1 laptop that I use constantly, but I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to remote into my working environment.

If I had to use my M1 laptop has my main development machine, I would think very hard about trying to pick up a T14 or something similar.
Woah. Much better comprehension reading the first example text.
I had assumed it was intentional:

Uranium production doesn't really follow its actual occurrence though - you'll note the places listed are all participants or proxy states of the Cold War arms race. They inherited that production capacity and mining - whereas Australia barely mines at all because it has no nuclear weapons and only 1 research reactor.

Basically I'd say there's a lack of evidence that proven reserves only exist in unstable states, but also the refueling cycle changes things dramatically - reactor fuel can be easily and compactly stockpiled, and happens on yearly cycles - much less subject to shifting local geopolitics.
There's also spreeder on Android in similar spirit which I found useful to read web content. The downside is I have to copy and paste it from the browser
Nice project.

After I had to throw away a perfectly fine and good scanner because it didn't have Windows 7 drivers (let alone Linux), I now only buy hardware that's properly supported on Linux.
Here's a kicker - you actually don't have to live in the country for you to still need to pay back the loan.
You mean a local proxy? That makes sense. Should be part of the OS then ;-)
Aside from personality extraversion

Relationships can easily be initiated with a mutual interest in meeting someone to sleep with. Both parties accept there is an undiscussed mutual goal and a powerful motivational factor of getting laid, and if it doesnt work, then no worries. Additionally, people are FAR more relaxed on mutual comparability in this area. Liking coffee can be enough of a jump start, particularly if you are younger.

Friendships have far more prequesites and far less motivation. They also seem to flourish sometimes in direct opposition to external interests and personality. I dont really want many IT guys as my friend, so mutual interests isn't going to hack it. (No pun intended)
Then we shouldn’t invest in photovoltaics either, because rare earth elements are also predominantly produced by these countries.
Ask HN: A platform to build back end of your MVP
Would you use a platform to build the tech backend of your MVP?

I'm building something that has built-in no-code API builder, auto scalable servers, flexible DB and a multi-language support code editor.

Building MVPs backend shouldn't take more than 1 day, and you can focus on building necessary UI to ship your MVP.

What would be your concerns for not using it?
This is often repeated but it’s just obviously not true. It’s much easier to figure out how to exploit a server if I have its source. If I don’t, I have to throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and hope something sticks.

If I’m in the situation where I have a binary of a server without the source, I have to pay the cost of using ghidra or IDA for a few hours or days (or weeks) to figure out how the software is structured before I can come up with an exploit. If I’m dealing with an open source target that’s a cost I don’t have to pay.
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, this version of Bionic Reading is the beginning of the reading mode. Of course there are ways to structure the word types as well as the syllables.

Its the BR verion1
Thank you so much kizer...I am very pleased
"new experience" lol.
Thanks Einstein for E=mc^2!
Yes. I found it interesting that fertility specialists are actually quite focused on statistics. It's because in majority of infertility cases there is either no explanation at all, or no absolute blockers to pregnancy, just less chances. The entire field is in big part focused on how to improve patient's chances in this dice roll.
Surprisingly pleasant. I haven't speed read in a while, but this felt better than highlighting text, or centering word on screen (although those work better with audio support, but I guess that could be mixed together).

Few questions:

From what I understand BR figures out 'what part of the word is unique enough to be a good enough approximation of the word'. Is this somewhat context aware or generic (with parameters available for developer)?

How focused are you on iOS?
This is how I speed read for decades (autodidact); I swoop over the page once with my eyes and then just jump over it more or less like they show here. Allows me to read multiple books per day.
There are many good RSVP apps and browser plugins. I find it better for news or other things I want to skim read, than trying to power through a novel.
This is so nice to see how shitty some decks look like but how profitable and good the businesses are! Cool thanks for that :)
Trevor being "shy" ( /J ), he did not provide the links for his Memex implementations: one is at http://memexsim.sourceforge.net/ , from his projects page https://trevor.smith.name/project/ .

And can I recommend taking a look at his website, https://trevor.smith.name , very rich in stimula.

By the way: Trevor has done research and management about Augmented Reality - I have also been a very happy adopter of the AR technology for many years (through the Epson Moverio), to optimize document access time: more clearly, using them as readers through optimized software I wrote. Is not the AR technology a good new option for the development of the memex paradigm?
I don't disagree, but it is worth pointing out that Alder Lake released Nov 2021, one year after Zen 3 (Nov 2020). It'll be interesting to see what happens in the fight between Zen 4 and Raptor Lake. Right now feels like an awkward time to build a PC.
Yes, you are right.
The problem with Spritz is that you lose the overview of the text and therefore you can't optimally absorb the context of the content.
Some users have already confirmed this to me.
But the technique is cool...
> So long as our mind is extroverted, attending to anything other than our own essential self-conscious being, we can never experience perfect, permanent and unqualified happiness.

Meh, I think Tolstoy had it right: There is only one enduring happiness in life—to live for others.

I am not surprised that HN buys into this individualism. Here is Chris Hedges discussing how Tolstoy's insight applies the age of social media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwnynLc2U4Q&t=1s
Apart from some local bubbles, now is the best time ever to be born in.
Also I was replying to:

> it would solve one of Linux's biggest pain points as a software developer.

Not the pain of the distro-people. That may be mitigated with a universal standard of snap or flatpak.
Yes, I agree. I guess this technology isn't for everyone. This is a real bummer. They did not have to patent and trademark this method, which in principle is such a basic mechanism. Just had to productize their service really well so they'd take the lead in monetizing.
> Nothing he references in the MSM reporting was actually incorrect.

You clearly have not read my linked article, as most of your points are covered there. Here is a short collection of paragraphs that might interest other readers of this thread who are more inclined to a honest intellectual debate:

"Even the mistakes caught were astounding. On December 1, 2017, ABC reporter Brian Ross claimed Trump “as a candidate” instructed Michael Flynn to contact Russia. The news caused the Dow to plummet 350 points. The story was retracted almost immediately and Ross was suspended.

Bloomberg reported Mueller subpoenaed Trump’s Deutsche Bank accounts; the subpoenas turned out to be of other individuals’ records. Fortune said C-SPAN was hacked after Russia Today programming briefly interrupted coverage of a Maxine Waters floor address. The New York Times also ran the story, and it’s still up, despite C-SPAN insisting its own “internal routing error” likely caused the feed to appear in place of its own broadcast.

CNN has its own separate sub-list of wrecks. Three of the network’s journalists resigned after a story purporting to tie Trump advisor Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund was retracted. Four more CNN reporters (Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus) were bylined in a story that claimed Comey was expected to refute Trump’s claims he was told he wasn’t the target of an investigation. Comey blew that one up, too.

In another CNN scoop gone awry, “Email pointed Trump campaign to WikiLeaks documents,” the network’s reporters were off by ten days in a “bombshell” that supposedly proved the Trump campaign had foreknowledge of Wikileaks dumps. “It’s, uh, perhaps not as significant as what we know now,” offered CNN’s Manu Raju in a painful on-air retraction."

You seem to be under the impression that Taibbi is some sort of agent working for Trump, because that's what the current zeitgeist is: if someone disagrees with your opinion, they are evil, and likely working for the enemy too. You already relied on your hit piece to try to prove Taibbi was evil, now you are trying to suggest he is a right-wing agent. This is delusional.
It would be interesting to see what demands this places on the source material.

There's a fair bit of work in say philosophy where for example the concepts being discussed may be things like relationships between things, or things themselves, or being, also unavoidably something that crops up in the actual discussion, you're comparing comparisons or saying that that that thing that is is. You kinda usually have to slow down considerably to break these things down to have any hope of actually understanding them.
I wonder how difficult it would be to turn this into a Calibre plug in to convert existing ebooks
Don't get bogged down on statistics. They matter with large numbers, and in each cycle, you are dealing with at most a dozen or two fertilized eggs. Looking at all the stats only made us feel worse about our outcomes.

My wife and I were supposedly "perfect" candidates (doctors were convinced we'd conceive on the first try), but it took two full cycles and a number of FETs from all of a dozen or so good quality eggs to be transferred for our two kids (with the second, we had success with our last remaining frozen embryo, so make that two cycles and 9 embryos for the first kid — basically, with first, we were extremely unlucky, but then it was two FETs and no full cycles for the second, which was a relief).

Basically, for those who do get success on the first try, there have to be plenty of us that don't for the stats to average out to what they are.
I realize that this is not a very detailed benchmark, but it would be interesting to see a more head-to-head benchmark of the graviton2 vs m1 cpu.

Running on 64 cores induces a lot of overhead vs running on 8/10 cores. How much work is needed to orchestrate the 64 cores vs 10 cores?

A more accurate benchmark could be to run on 10 cores on the graviton and compare it to M1.
Currently, AMD is more expensive for the same performance.

Also, the AM4 socket is at the end of its life. Intel’s LGA 1700 is expected to be used for two more CPU generations, so there’s an upgrade path.
I've been self hosting since the early 00s. I used to host:

* Email (for years rolled my own using Procmail, Postfix, Squirrelmail before finally using Zimbra Email Server - an all in one software package)

* FreeNAS/TrueNAS for storage (3x SC836 16 bay Supermicro servers)

* VMware vSphere for virtualization (clustered setup with vmotion running on 2x dual Xeon servers)

* Elastix IP Phone Server (Asterisk PBX hooked up to Aastra IP phones in every room in my house)

* Cisco Call Manager - proprietary IP phone server (helped with my job...)

* Plex + the usual accompanying VMs

* HomeBridge + HomeAssistant

* Openfire (because everyone needs their own chat server)

* ZoneMinder (CCTV server hooked up to cameras around the property)

* Zabbix (to monitor it all)

The whole family (about 20 folks) would use the above for their day to day personal and small businesses.

It got to the point where I was spending several hundred in licenses and close to £1k in electricity a year.

I'd get paid by some folks to maintain the above, but after a while the fun of building gets replaced by the chore of maintaining - and the few outages I've had (can count on one hand - proudly) were a royal PITA since I'd have to drop everything and try and get it back online again.

In the 2000s and 2010s the skills my homelab taught me were still relevant; Routing, VLANs, Firewalls, NAT, subnets. But having just studied for an AWS certification I was struck by how much less application those basic skills have in today's marketplace - the cloud has representations of those sure, but maintaining a homelab doesn't give you exposure to what a VPC or a Security Group is.

Also back in the day it was far cheaper to self host vs rent servers in the cloud - today (especially after energy price increases in the UK) self hosting my now much smaller homelab of 1x Intel NUC and two Synology boxes (250W total) is gonna cost about £640 a year in electricity alone. That'll buy me a lot of stuff in AWS/GCP and frankly I'd rather have the practise and experience with a more relevant tech stack.
So when do we consider the web to be finished and stop evolving it?
I'm not sure what can be done here. Having had a very close relative (as close as it gets, but I don't wanna associate anything precise publicly) being an alcoholic for decades, watching them succumb, degenerate and eventually die over a long and horrifying period, I don't see how the medical system can be the solution to this problem.

The motivation to stop drinking and continue to stop drinking has to be mostly intrinsic. There can be additional extrinsic factors (like doing it for your family) strengthening the intrinsic motivation, but without a strong and constant inner will to stop nothing will.

My relative took the final bottle of Whiskey on a lonely Christmas day. It took 2 months of suffering before it finally ended for good. No medical system can prevent the loneliness and dark times. And relatives also have their own lifes.

Addiction is a terrible problem and it's great that there is help for the persons motivated to seek help, and AA is a good initiative for that. But not everyone can be helped.
The countries with large uranium reserves are basically just 'big countries'. And the nature of nuclear power is such that the cost of fuel is not as important as it is for fossil fuels. Even if it were, as you point out, Australia is the Saudi Arabia of uranium reserves. I'd say they're about as far away from adversarial as you could get.
Predatory Precarity (2019)
You are right.
The advantage of Bionic Reading is that you can customize your reading settings.

I think if you want to read a book in a relaxed way, but you have dyslexia (10% of people), then Bionic Reading can help you.
Btw spritz is an evil company who bullies software developers with their ridiculous and vague patents.

Maybe there is something more going on than some person making a conscious decision to keep drinking? I'm not sure what the hospital should do in this exact situation but simply 'pushing someone out of the door' is very likely to have one result and this is the same person coming back through the same door time and time again.
A pizza dough without yeast has been risen by scientists in Italy
The rules implemented are very simple (taken from the patent application [1], the exact numbers are configurable).

If there are <= 3 letters, one letter is bold.
If there are == 4 letters, two letters are bold.
If there are > 4 letters, 40% of all letters are bold.

There is this claim as the first text on the website:

We are happy if as many people as possible can use the advantage of Bionic Reading. For this reason, Bionic Reading should be able to be integrated into existing apps and services. The benefit for the reader should be the main focus.

If that is truly correct, why not publish these 3 rules? Why hide it behind multiple patent applications and trademarks? Why spend all this time and money on patents and an API that probably involve sending all text to some servers, just so that these 3 lines of code can be executed?

It's complicated because it is complicated.

It's like saying a car is too complicated because I can't just swap the engine out without any prior knowledge. It's not designed for the average guy to be able to do that.

systemd is not some product meant for the average Joe, it's an integral part of the system for managing services and other things. To run a web server at least somewhat reliably you don't even need a lot of systemd knowledge but you still need to know some networking, firewalls, DNS, in general how the internet works, how to configure a web server and other services, some basic security. If you don't want to learn these things then there are managed services that you pay to do those things for you or you hire someone to run it for you. Just like you take your car to a mechanic when you're not interested in figuring out how to reassemble the engine.

Yeah, things can always be improved and made simpler but to create something fool-proof for the average person would take a huge amount of work and there would need to be a business opportunity there for someone to invest in that or there would need to be some passionate generous soul that would invest their time in a project like that.

And like I already mentioned, there are already solutions to the "it's too complicated" problem: 1) companies offering managed services, 2) companies/individuals for hire to do it for you.
Or France, where the first 4 procedures are paid for by health services. Going to the pharmacy for the ovarian stimulation drugs for my wife and seeing the one-week treatment would have cost us hundreds of euros; I sure was glad to live in such a country!
