I'd highly recommend going the network-wide route with router DNS settings. You might have some luck finding a pi here: https://rpilocator.com/ .

I set up a Pi-hole for my home network easy enough on a Fritzbox router, with the Pi-hole as DNS. I've since gone a step further, and now use the Pi-hole for DHCP too. The router now just routes.

The COVID vaccines are definitely effective at reducing hospitalization, ventilation and death. The combination of widespread vaccination, esp of the elderly, and natural immunity of survivors is why the pandemic has been declared over in most places and the disease is now considered endemic.

While the vaccine showed sterilizing (prevents infection) immunity for its target strain, the subsequent strains are generally more effective at causing infection but the vaccine still had a lot of efficacy at preventing severe disease and reducing duration of symptoms.

This is more effective than influenza vaccine which is also primarily aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality.
Dunno if author is around here, but I'd like to point out a group who are working to make low-spec, low-powerusage software.

They're a couple living in a boat (all by choice) making games, music and books/comics. Having encountered challenges like being off the grid for a prolonged amount of time and having to budget electricity for months at a time, they built a whole suite of creative apps that run on an incredibly limited amount of specs, including building a platform akin to PICO8 that can run such creative software on many embedded devices like the Gameboy Advance (https://github.com/hundredrabbits/awesome-uxn)
The support is substantially more than "including them in a list of recognised key types" because the FIDO device is deliberately unwilling to do anything except emit FIDO-style signatures, so you need to understand those signatures and verify them.

On the other hand, probably we should have learned by now that even apparently trivial verification steps are too easy to get wrong (or plain omit) and so you really want to delegate all of this work to just one implementation which was actually written by people who know what they're doing and, preferably also formally verified as correct since people who "know what they're doing" still make far too many mistakes. Thus, maybe there shouldn't be so many independent (and likely in some cases, wrong) implementations of this check.

Yes, that’s exactly the kind of thing it’s great at.

Nix stores all builds of its packages in a separate “store” on the machine, each identified by the hash of the build (“derivation”). When you activate your config, it basically symlinks the version you want into your PATH.

If your project needs a specific version, when you activate a Nix shell or script it will check your store for that version and activate it. If it doesn’t exist, it will fetch it (or even compile it from scratch if you need to).
Ask HN: Phonetics-to-Speech Software?
Hello,
A recent entry in HN (https://xournalpp.github.io/) shows the phonetics of the name to avoid confusion. Kudos to the authors but at the same time, I can't help but think that most people (myself included) can't properly read phonetics.

I thought HN would be a good place to share tips on the availability, or lack thereof, of a service or software that would accept phonetics notation as input to then output audio.

Thanks for any contribution, cheers!
Last year, I started setting up a Qubes OS workstation. Doing all the intricate little steps manually seemed like such a waste of time that I started learning SaltStack, which is built into the Qubes management stack, to be able to automate and replicate the setup. This small itch exploded in such a way that I wrote a formula for almost every program on every system and server I use. For all other small programs, I just use one formula that syncs the appropriate dotfiles (I can also template them with Jinja).

In hindsight, going with Nix would have been the most efficient way to reach most of that, apart from the Qubes-specific stuff. This will probably be the next step on my (ironic) odyssey of going all-in on configuration to finally stop worrying about it and reap the benefits of the beauty that is computing without its nasty warts.

In essence, I would love a proper integration between Nix and Qubes OS.

Edit: For anyone interested in an example of my current process, see https://github.com/lkubb/salt-tool-chromium-formula, https://github.com/lkubb/salt-tool-gpg-formula or https://github.com/lkubb/salt-tool-macos-formula.

Some of the comment in question very hard to make any sense of, e.g:

>Rather, they should be getting ahead of the story, and should pick on, oh, I don’t know, the greens, kick off a rumour that they’re a Masonic cabal of drag queen drug lords and make them defend it, and drag the Tories into that mess. The crazier and broader the accusations the better - grapeshot gives a lot of holes to patch, and distracts from the one which hit below the waterline. Play it right and you make everyone remember that it was the Tories that started it, as labour smearing the greens makes no sense. Punching up and doing minor damage makes you look weak and petty, punching down and demolishing an innocent makes you look strong. Children understand this - the world is a schoolyard.

Multiple parts of this make no sense, but one thing that stands out is that it doesn't make sense for the Tories to pick on the Greens either.
> index funds are getting market returns, which could be negative.

... so they're losing money? Isn't this precisely the point I was making? Index funds are losing money in a bear market as is Wood's fund.

Wood's insight is to focus on technology, as these tend to have high returns because of the value they provide and are (potentially) undervalued by the market. Again, isn't YC doing exactly this strategy except for company ownership?

While I appreciate your pushback, I think it's a bit dismissive to compare Wood's strategy with investing in railroads. Wood is investing in a diversified portfolio, the focus of which is technology. At least, it's a strategy that's diversified in specific technology sectors and diversifying the investment in each sector by betting on a few players in that space.

I don't have a lot of historical knowledge but to me, this would be like someone investing in an "industrial revolution" tech sector in the early 1900s. That is, invest in steel, railroads, automobiles, etc.
So the supercomputer speed went 1000x from 2008-2022. But home computer speeds definitely did not go up that much

A lot of it is simply scale. This computer has ~8 million cores compared to ~12k full cores and ~100k "processing units" on the Roadrunner.

Secondly we have fundamentally changed how we do computation, by learning how to utilise GPUs (and GPU like architectures) better. This alone gives a far greater than 10x boost between 2008-2022

:) unfortunately fox news is the primary news source for more people than the ny times.

Yes I understand your argument and I think it’s wildly exaggerated, that the ny times’s supposed decline is itself biased distortion. Even the Haiti story you mention is actually quite good journalism, it is relevant to why that country is doing so poorly today. To me this is a story with relevance in the same way as one on looted jewish art during the war would be.

Yes the focus on these stories has a political reasoning you may not agree with but to call it yellow journalism is pretty off the mark imo. Where I would be far more critical of the grey lady for example would be their reckless support of the invasion of Iraq for example.
My mother was a nurse. I could never be a nurse. She took care of people who were at deaths door. She cleaned up blood, poo, semen. She suffered racist abuse, was physically attacked and hospitalised many times. She did this job for 45 years.

I could never do that because I just don't care about other humans like that. She had a different type of intelligence to me. She wasn't better than me, we were different, but it was a fundamental difference that could not be learned.
This is my most recent effort which took a few hours.

K8s debugging thing which I affectionately call kubebkwd to contrast with kubefwd. Covers the main use case of telepresence that I was interested in - i.e. proxying to a local host instance from a local k8s cluster like docker-desktop. Does it without any special localhost network configuration other than what is set up with docker-desktop or other local k8s environments by default and only makes changes in the cluster so hopefully will be more robust to host OS configuration than telepresence, which I've had problems with. But be warned it's quite hacky, barely tested and doesn't clean up after itself, inconsistent style, here be dragons, probable dunning-kruger effect driven development, etc.

> It doesn’t work for everything. For example, I have a boop command (which I mentioned above) that needs access to the previous command’s exit status—as far as I know, that’s impossible with a script.

I got nerd-sniped by this. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work. I tested this myself by writing a script called show-error.sh:

#!/bin/bash
echo $?

And then I ran

$(exit 5)
. ./show-error.sh

And this outputs

I dunno, if your goal is to change computing as we know it, what is a middling dev in Denver going to do about it in 8 hours? Not to say anything about devs in Denver, but it’s more the problem is so large that I can’t see what $500 could do.

It would probably be a better use of money just randomly handing it out to middle school science students to see what they can do. Get them on a trajectory to change the world rather than soliciting any concrete ideas; no one with an actual idea to make computers better is going to even blink for $500.
Yes, Reddit is getting worse ever since it became mainstream popular.
You can't find anything useful with Google anyway. It's about as reliable as Amazon search.

On Amazon you'll find a lot of faux-branded trash that is very specifically and very blatantly designed to resemble what you're looking for (if you're a pensioner or perhaps a dog)

but the result you were actually looking for will be on page 2 or in a thread on a forum. Or not listed at all.

Similar story for Google Search, you don't find anything useful, you find a dozen results that have been designed to look like they'll be useful.

Why use Google then? Half the "quick answers" results are wrong or based on unreliable sources, but presented as fact.

Google Images being peppered with shopping results is annoying as eating glass.

Google Shopping has never been useful because it just sends you to expired eBay listings or websites you wouldn't necessarily trust with your lawnmower let alone your card details.

And then there's YouTube — what a cesspool! There's only one view that matters there, your subscriptions. The feed/trending is just a torrent of genuinely crazy conspiracy/disinformation stuff that is obviously very popular... but I think if I ran, say, a library, I wouldn't fill the shelves with books about how to make guns and explosives, nor would I fill the racks with pornography. I'd stock such things but

The common feature is that the drive for profit = drive for views/clicks = skews all content moderation and indeed content creation towards that goal.

All art, wit, originality, truth is sucked into this vortex and spat out the other side as something "eye-catching" "clickbaity" "engaging" etc

This is true of Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Anything based on user engagement, clicks, ad views/interactions — all of that horseshit. It's all simply twisting content to suit the business rather than doing what's in the best interest of the user.

The user deserves accurate search results, impartial presentation of data and points of view, no dark patterns.

It frankly amazes me that we've gotten as far down this road as we have, in the last decade especially. It's nauseating.
I used to use OneNote with the Microsoft Pen (or is it Stylus? I forget...) to take notes in this fashion. Eventually, though, there are only a few cases, like large diagrams that you need to evolve over time, where a digital solution beats a paper notebook. The need to start and unlock the computer/tablet if it's not already on, to dismiss or ignore notifications, to launch the app, to select the right color or tool and the occasional glitch when writing (pen sometimes not writing, or suddenly jumping to a completely different place, even deleting old lines when drawing new ones, I feel like I've seen it all) add up to more friction than a paper notebook.

My notebook, which I use like a Bullet Journal, has no batteries that need recharging, no screen that can crack, no notifications, the pen has an ink capacity of over 2 years of daily writing, with a new recharge costing ~6€, no software updates.

There's no search, and occasionally I do flip through the pages longer than I'd like, but it's rare.

Nowadays I mostly write in my paper notebook, and if there's something in there worth keeping, I upload a photograph of it in Notion.
I like it. It loads really fast and there's nothing extra - just AllTopLinks.com like it says on the can.

I have used Clojure professionally at several companies, and can confidently say that you will find libraries for everything.

If skills to perform a job are no longer a differentiator, I think wages would be less differentiated between jobs.

Perhaps there would still be wage differentiation, but dependent more on factors like degree of physical output necessary, risk of physical injury when performing the job, etc.
Not using Flask, but I've been using Django as backend for various iOS apps over the years. My recipe is just a REST API library + Django OAuth2 Provider. I imagine if I were to use Flask, I'll do the same thing: implementing the REST API and gate it using OAuth2. Plenty of library in iOS side that make hooking up with OAuth2 relatively easy.

It's not really a change. It's for optics and internal consumption only.

The UK's current gov is firmly wedded to a delusional image of itself as a major imperial power of vast wealth and influence. Such is its majesty it is for ever in danger of being infiltrated and undermined by unpleasantly independent Europeans, who for some reason refuse to see the UK as the most important country in Europe. And also by nasty brown and black people from who knows where?

All policy is designed to reassure itself of that view. Not to solve practical problems.

In the real world the number of top graduates who will want to stay on with a two year work visa - and no guaranteed extension - is somewhere very close to zero.

There's no conception that other countries may have a more appealing work culture and a more open and successful academic culture.

As it happens, the university sector in the UK is currently closing many departments and firing and re-hiring many of its professors so it can cut their pay. As a result many are on strike and others have left.

Any student who is reasonably bright and considering the UK is going to know this.

Company is not fiction to believe in, it is an agreement a contract by the society encoded in a set of laws. The laws governing companies, unlike the market-value of assets, are very resistant to change. Market values change very often, especially values of crypto-currencies. Laws don't change often.

A company exists and has valid standing not because people believe in it but because the law says it exists. It is easy to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a company exists (or not). That has nothing to do with whether people believe it is valuable.
Cryptocurrencies are built on a deck of lies and scams. You equivocate about 'fiat' or real dollars being 'the same.' They're not. If you support this drivel, you'll only perpetuate and prolong the pain.
No. There is no way to push a value for the symmetric key that probably makes the FIDO (thus U2F / WebAuthn) feature work. You can tell the Yubikey to pick a random new one, effectively wiping your key (and rendering any credentials previously minted with it now invalid) but you can't write one over USB and this was I believe intentional.

The best effort I've seen at making a computer express emotions is Anki's Cozmo or Vector [1]. You can get one for less than $500 and hack it, or you can do your own hardware project for much less. Or make a conversational chatbot, APIs for GPT-J make that easier than ever.

Similarly, an innovative browser-chrome that tries novel UI ideas while using webkit for rendering is very achievable on a tiny budget.

> The baseload[1] (also base load) is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time, for example, one week. This demand can be met by unvarying power plants,[2] dispatchable generation,[3] or by a collection of smaller intermittent energy sources,[4] depending on which approach has the best mix of low cost, availability and high reliability in any particular market.

"Base load" on the power generation side has only ever been an side effect of economics, not an intrinsic property of the electrical grid.

A while back over the course of a week I wrote a python script to modulate the extrusion flow on a 3D printer based on FEA data. I would simulate the forces that would be on the part in Inventor Nastran and export it to a text file (side note: Nastran had the strangest plaintext output of a program I've ever seen. It was like a book, with a title page, table of contents, page numbers, etc. It was clearly a relic of years past). Then I would the Nastran and gcode into the script, and it would increase extrusion where the stresses were high while reducing it where the stresses were low.

Even though it was fairly rudimentary and I never formally tested anything, it seemed to work well enough.
A vaccine can only be as effective as the immune systems that it primes for any given infective agent. Respiratory RNA viruses very rarely, if ever, result in lifelong sterilising immunity. SARS-CoV-2 is no different.

If going through a disease caused by a certain virus can result in lifelong immunity, so can a vaccine designed against that virus. If going through another disease caused by a different virus leaves the host at risk of eventual (usually milder or even asymptomatic) reinfection, that's the most any vaccine can achieve.

My point is more fundamental than anticipating market mispricing within a certain set of constraints.

How does a company make money? Why does it distribute that money to shareholders? Why can't someone working at the company just keep all the money? Why can't the bank just confiscate it?

The answer at all levels is the the threat of violence. Property rights (eg to the money) are enforced by the threat of state-sanctioend violence, for example the police showing up at your house and throwing you in jail if you don't comply with laws.

So why would the police show up and do that? Why would the courts enforce those laws? It's not just the threat of violence, essentially. It's the collective belief in that system.
