Looks cool! The Cyberdeck builts I've seen make me wonder if somebody is experimenting with alternative input methods for hand-help devices. Currently to work, you either need a decent surface to put the device and type in a normal (small) keyboard, or be condemned to use thumb-typing or slide-typing in handheld devices which is terrible for anything except maybe for writing English with a spell corrector.

I guess we have chorded keyboards, but not sure how fasts those are for entering text, or if anybody has tried to combine them with a screen into a single hand-held device.
Voice control is mostly pretty disappointing. Setting an alarm, playing an album, getting a quick weather forecast? OK.

But something more complicated where you really would like good voice control--like when driving--not so much. For example, with podcasts, I find I really need to pre-populate a playlist and by and large I find trying to totally control my phone by voice is very hit and miss.

Voice assistants have gotten marginally better over the years. But I really wouldn't miss them much if they all went away tomorrow. The vision was/is that they could match at least a marginally competent personal assistant over the phone. And they're nowhere even near the ballpark.

Exactly, my microwave plays this cute little song for about 3 seconds that stopped being cute after the second time hearing it. But if you don't open the door within ~30 seconds or so, it plays its song again. It does this for a long while before giving up. Customer support, when asked if there was a way to disable it that was missed, said it's a "safety feature" and therefore cannot be disabled.

It's not a dichotomy though. I've got a boring dishwasher which works fine and I'm not a medieval serf, so I get the benefits of the industrial revolution and the big scientific leap (or to use hipster phrasing, I've got a dishwasher robot) at the expense of money (a new dishwasher would be a week's worth of wages).

I'm not sure the example you provide really applies to the situation. Roll cages are mandatory in race cars, so effectively the contrary to "isn't used by professionals" . Also, they can be used in normal road cars. Granted, they're inconvenient but still provide added safety.

An example that comes to mind is Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT). Most types of motorsports avoid CVTs for reasons of weight, unreliability and decreased repairability. However, for normal road cars, CVTs are very widespread and they do the job just fine (until they don't, but that's another story!)

In any event, nowadays it's extremely easy to get a full time remote gig and live in a truly remote location - especially factoring in lower cost of living. This doesn't seem like an actual problem.

> our society needs to be reinvented, taking into account the impact of your action on the society

Those are called externalities and you're right, they should be accounted for. You are against abusive externalities not money.

> rewarding people with wealth is not helping achieve that goal, since to get something, you must take it away from somebody else

So you believe economy is a zero sum game? If it were so, society would not grow and develop over decades. Due to scientific discoveries, engineering, computing, logistics and automation we get more for the same effort.

Life in a self reliant community or in an isolated country like N Korea or Russia is hard because it's closer to a zero sum game.

I played some Warband: Mount & Blade recently. I think many tasks in this game can be done in-between real-life stuff.

But last weekend I also bought Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos on GOG. And I think if you can control yourself, you can also play short times in-between real-life tasks.

The pixel art looks really good and I like how Westwood added specific graphics and animations to support parts of the story. The music adds a nice atmosphere and voice acting is pretty good to great (Patrick Stewart does part of the voice acting).

Belief is not well defined. The dollar has value because it is useful. Bitcoin may also have value to the extent that it is useful (e.g. for speculating, money laundering, grey/black market transactions). Thus usefulness or utility of a currency is a better measure of value than belief whatever that means.
I find data presented in such a manner, without comment, quite a bit more compelling than much of what passes for debate these days.

>Nonsense, humans are no different than any other animals and survive best in equilibrium and always die out in cases of uncontrolled growth.

Yet left on their own they will uncontrollably grow like what happens with invasive species. Then they'll collapse. Repeat a few times and some type of equilibrium may happen for a while until something else breaks it.

Animals have no magic "equilibrium" sense but rather the surviving ones have evolved to have an equilibrium with their environment. That doesn't even mean the animal changed genetically but rather that other animals (ie: the environment) did to provide competition.

Well it's very easy to explain it using the same idea that for me is a very spiritual idea: your senses lie to you about the state of the world.

It is unfair comparing ARK to LTCM...

ARK is like a gambler who won his first lucky bet on a horse in life (TESLA), got hooked on gambling (growth stocks), made some incredibly stupid bets and is now in complete denial when markets turned against him..

LTCM did some novel and sophisticated stategies (for a time), realized the markets got too shallow for its strategies, returned most money to investors and lost liquidity due to black swan event. It is too easy in hindsight to tell they should have known better.

SpeedQueen owner here as well. Even more important than repairability is that the SpeedQueen actually cleans my clothes.

In the 80s I remember coming home with mud caked on my clothes, shaking them off and throwing them in the washer. I'd even throw my muddy sneakers in the wash. If I try that with a modern low-water unit there's still dirt on them after a wash. The SpeedQueen will handle this kind of heavy soiling.

It seems like modern washers are designed for modern (mostly indoor) living. They freshen clothes, but they don't really wash them.

In older buildings in Europe it's a royal pain to install or upgrade plumbing for a dishwasher or washing machine, or even install a dryer vent to the outdoors. Plus kitchens are often quite tiny by US standards. This device shines in that market.
Yeah. Those are the sort of occasionally handy things that Alexa is somewhat useful for. But QoL? (I don't even generally use it as a timer in the kitchen as opposed to spending 5 seconds to set a timer by hand that shows me a countdown.)
If it was my only option due to lack of space or not being allowed to install a full-size, I'd still find it worthwhile now that I eat at home much more often.

Ask HN: Place to post music and revive constructive feedback?
Not sure how this will fare but we'll see. I use the same parts of my brain writing code as I do writing music so there should be some overlap.

As far as the average end user is concerned, this amounts to the same thing as full-blown DRM; rather than being allowed to do the sensible and (for you as a consumer) cost-effective thing, this counter forces you to replenish detergent supplies at an artificially inflated price.
It also REALLY messes with custom URL redirection rules IME. Because it bypasses the page load, the rules just get ignored.
Anyone has experience making Raspberry Pi talking with server via RS232 serial interface? I am well aware that most servers/desktops have serial interfaces, but those are way of different kind of breed than what raspberry Pi has. I am going to order RS232 TTL MAX3232 serial port converter and try to build such a poor mans KVM device. Idea is quite simple, really - once server boots back up after extended power outage where UPS tried its best, its 99% going to make it to at least GRUB prompt or even kernel boot, if no hardware damage have been done, where it's going to ask for LUKS passphrase to unlock encrypted devices. Here I have setup initramfs with dropbear sshd with static IP to ssh into remotely, but it would also be nice that raspberry pi sitting nearby could talk with kernel over serial link. I have so far configured GRUB and kernel to talk serial and it works fine in VM setup with virtual serial interface, so it's now a matter of acquiring correct hardware for this to work. All should be about of a cost of one old rasbperry pi (even first model will do) and 10 bucks for serial converter.

EDIT: for a few extra dollars it's also possible to cycle motherboard reset/power switch with Raspberry Pi and something called optical relay switch, as described here - https://github.com/xtensa/PyControlPC and video after the break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxcdinrOAo

The average dishwasher uses about the amount of water you'd use for 1-2 minutes of shower time. Newer models use around 9 liters per cycle, older ones and non-eco modes often 15 liters, and really old ones often 25 liters. A typical shower outputs 5-10 liters per minute.

The water savings with eco-programs compared to "normal" programs is in the range of 10 seconds to 1 minute worth of shower time, if I remember correctly. If you want to conserve water use, there are a lot better ways to do so than running a dishwasher in eco mode. (Washing dishes by hand uses more water on average than even an old dishwasher).

Then, the terminology of "waste" is a bit problematic I think. The dishwater will usually output the spent water into some kind of sewer system in most places, and at some point this water usually gets cleaned and put back into circulation pretty much straight away. If not, it usually reaches nature again eventually. It's not like it became so toxic it needs to be stored safely for millennia.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be mindful, of course, especially when there are current (regional) shortages.

Energy consumption (mainly to heat water) is a different matter. Energy consumption is the real environmental cost, not water consumption, as water is basically renewable, but energy is often produced from non-renewable sources and has secondary effects such as carbon emissions, which in turn effect climate change and in turn regional water availability. But even then again, reducing shower time by a minute, or water temperature, will have a greater impact on energy consumption than running a dishwasher in eco mode (on average).
I tend to avoid video games until I'm on proper vacation time. For diversion between programming boring stuff I tend to do some graphic design stuff or occasionally I'll go on StackOverflow and answer some Perl/JavaScript questions.

During vacation time I'll typically play one of the Fire Emblems or Halo (3, Reach or Infinite).

Last vacation I quite enjoyed Dirt Rally, nothing quite like nailing a stage at speed in Lancia 037. I don't care for driving games usually but these games are fun even just on a gamepad.

> as a consumer why would this ever sound like a good enough idea to actually purchase?

Because as far as I know, there's no competing small sized kitchen-countertop dishwasher; that said, there's enough money on HN and its investors to start a company that does the same thing without the DRM and custom cartridges.

1. Handwashing is water inefficient compared to a lot of dishwashers; if this is something that's important to you, a device like this makes ecologic, if not necessarily economic sense

2. Dishwashers are expensive to people not on tech salaries. All upfront costs are difficult; a smaller upfront payment with a recurring monthly/quarterly subscription payment is much more manageable for many people.

3. There are many homes in America that aren't configured for a dishwasher and it would be expensive/difficult to remodel to get one to fit. Anecdotally, my cousin out in <small town outside a college> has this problem - he and his wife would greatly appreciate a dishwasher in their lives, but their home was built in the 1940s and renovating isn't happening on a post-doc + special ed teacher's combined salary

I am also skeptical, though I am no expert. SNARK are zero-knowledge proofs, they are intended to give a proof that a result was computed correctly, not prevent an unwanted computation altogether.

The fact that you can decrypt after the time passed is of course the easy part, preventing decryption before then is the problem.

Wow. So I'm watching the Techmoan review and it's just amazing. You've got this pretty awesome product.... up until you can clearly see the business types shoving their grubby hands in the way of UX and good engineering.

Oh no no no. We can't just sell a product. We need recurring revenue. So we'll make DRM proprietary detergent pods that require electronics in each one. Ah, but people will reject that because they know (and we clearly know) it's a horrible product design. So we'll include an option to just use your own. Of course, we'll turn the screws over time, incentivising use of our proprietary detergent until eventually we just get rid of the other option.

That whole thing seems to offer absolutely no added value to the customer. It's just making a good product inferior in order to grift more money from the customer.

If your business model requires this kind of thing, you should feel unceasing shame and failure.
