Exactly, I don't see blockchain as a solution to cure world hunger or help us "decentralised" everything but I won't dismissed it as a possible route to a new future. I have high hopes for it to be a better future than it turning out to be a buzzword the same way that I will dismiss the dot com idea (the notion that every business and everything needs the Internet) but I strongly believe in the underlying technology that connects everyone and everything.
A $750k loan is easily $20k interest, and you're probably maxing out the $10k SALT cap too. That's almost triple the standard deduction.

I really like Day One for journaling. It’s a very clean experience though I admit I don’t journal everyday.

I have bristled against the idea of subscribing to it as an app. I think It’s a great app, and I want to support the author, but subscription to apps just rubs me the wrong way. So I live in the free mode.

I’ve tried a few alternatives that are free (including markdown and plain text), but always come back to it because it’s so comfortable.

Multiple reasons. Number one, you avoid an international incident if you can help it.

Number two, and far more importantly, the whole point of these drones is surveillance and intelligence gathering, ostensibly. Why would the Navy respond to their presence by showing the human observers aboard the cargo vessel precisely how we shoot down a drone?
Trump and Clinton have both been vocally opposed, for starters. Clinton even said something to the effect of it being an existential threat to their power.
Researchers write papers. They want their papers to be read by many people as they depend on them for their livelihood. Wouldn’t you market yours?
Honestly, it may not even be that elaborate. China intelligence could just be putting bounties out for information on American Navy worship operations and leaving it up to the cargo captains to buy their own drones and get creative about using them.

And from China's point of view, this is almost certainly tit for tat. As far as they're concerned, the US has allowed one of its private corporations to deploy a space surveillance network. Using drones to observe individual Navy vessels is small potatoes relative to what China assumes the American intelligence edifice can gather from Starlink.
Does anyone else have a natural prejudice against projects still hosted at SourceForge?
Yeah. I lived there 2016-2018, some of the best years of my life.

I moved back to PDX up from San Francisco in 2021 to try to settle in a fun place where I could buy a home and it was just a disaster. The stories people tell are both exaggerated and vastly understated.

I’ve since left, and I hope the best for the people there.
Why write on the phone when routinely journalling before and after bed? I always feel stifled by typing speed on a touch keyboard; in this case especially, it seems minimizing the friction of expressing a spontaneous thought would take priority. I don't see mention of dictation, unless it's a given with the app. Or is that particular workflow feature so beneficial as to offset this?
Hi OP here

The automation thing makes a lot of sense for food if you aren't growing in soil. Farming is HARD work but if we could grow more with less water (even vapor!) in drought stricken areas I fail to see the drawbacks.

As someone who dwells in the jungle I love permaculture and I think it is pretty cool but I also like the idea of solving mass starvation on a large scale. I don't see what is done here with permaculture feeding the world any time soon, but I also don't even buy bananas because I'm sick of seeing the infinite banana tree fields
I am the only Mac user on a small team of web-based tool devs for my company. Everyone else is on Linux.

I occasionally have to do exploratory processes where I have to figure out how to setup the same environment locally that my teammates are using. It can be time consuming, but overall I’m able to replicate it just fine. We’re far enough into the transition that most stuff is supported out of the box.

I admit I don’t know much about what’s going on under the hood. I used podman for containers so far.
Why does the biggest and richest company in the world ever have to suffer from talent leaving because they don’t get paid enough? It just doesn’t make any sense.
The oscillating electric field of the light wave induces a sympathetic oscillation of the electric charges bound to atoms or molecular bonds in the material. The degree to which those charges can align themselves to the field is a characteristic of each material. Taking that polarizability into account in Maxwell's Equations yields a wave equation for electromagnetism, just like it does in a vacuum, but with a different propagation velocity, slower than the speed of light. In a vacuum, there's a corresponding polarizability of free space, related to the speed of light. In undergrad electrodynamics, prior to learning about relativity or quantum, we didn't try to explain it any further than that.

It's transparent because the electrons stay attached to their atoms. If they could break free, then conduction would occur, and another solution of Maxwell's equations shows the wave being quenched. You could imagine conduction causing loss of energy via heating, like the way an electric stove works. If the electrons could absorb energy by making a quantum transition, some of energy could be released as heat rather than light.

Refraction and reflections could be thought of as necessary consequences of continuity at an interface between materials of different composition. A number of things related to electric and magnetic field vectors have to remain the same at both sides of the boundary. This is akin to a conservation law, and requires introduction of a third wave at the boundary -- the reflected wave -- to make everything balance.

Another way to look at refraction is via Huygen's Principle, where each point on a wave front is a source of a spherical wave front, and accounting for the different speeds in the two materials (e.g., air and glass) gives the law of refraction. And there's even yet another explanation which can be found by figuring out the path that the light takes, which results in a minimum for the time of travel. It's interesting that the law of refraction was worked out before electromagnetism was understood.

I'm an industrial physicist, and this is hand-wavy, but I'm trying for an explanation that doesn't require equations.
Why do you think the industry hasn't noticed? If it's not hundreds, how many Apple employees have moved to Nuvia and Rivos?
I didn’t know Kagi was bootstrapped. As a fellow bootstrapper, it makes me like Kagi even more. Good luck in the future. I think you really have something here so I hope the monetization strategy works.
I wondered about this too and I like your advice about salt but apparently Apple is suing Rivos about this very thing: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/apple-lawsuit-says-...
I use m1 max in work and personal projects and have done so since November. I primarily work in *ops, choose your flavor (dev/sec/ml/net).

The only issues I have ever really ran into were:

RKE had issues on arm early-on. Random containers didn't have arm image support. This went away quickly as an issue for me.

No nested virt. This one was painful for a few reasons, particularly when I was attempting to use the Canonical tooling to create preinstalled Ubuntu images, which I was doing in a vm via Multipass. Maybe M2/M3?

That's about it, really. I had to buy two Safari extensions when moving from Windows, but they were cheap and worth it (dark reader and some other one I can't remember rn)

I currently run Rancher Desktop every day as a replacement for Docker Desktop. Works spectacularly for me, and I can just not care about the environment. Just works.

I use Multipass when I need linux environments, and it's been spectacular.

Universal control has been the greatest enhancement in my workflow (and general daily use)
Hi Anubhav, are all modules built by your team? Since if it were based on already available models/repos, then I can't find licenses/attr for the same.
The problem with async/await is that it doesn't use threads and is rewritten to a state machine. It's not parallel

C# and Python async await and definitely JavaScript don't run asynchronous code in parallel. IO is in parallel but computation is not.
I think it has been mentioned a few times already but ARM64 on servers is also quite compelling (Graviton on AWS and Ampere Altra in Azure). I've actually seen a few customers that couple the move to new M1 MacBooks for their devs with a move to ARM in production as well to retain that same "the same container image runs on both" that they were used to even if they go multi-arch just incase.

In one case the devs were given the condition of getting their containers working on ARM to get the new MacBooks they wanted - and the cost savings of moving to ARM in cloud even subsidised the cost of them a bit too...
This isn’t about feeling guilty about your skin color. Sure some “progressives” incorrectly think that. Not a huge deal.
Seems silly to me. CPU designs are important, but these companies have more than enough engineers to make competent designs even with some people leaving. There's another factor that completely dominates. It's all about the fabs. Intel lost the performance lead, was it because of their designs? No, it's because they lost the lead in fabs. AMD passed Intel, was it because of their designs? No, it's because they use TSMC's fabs and TSMC passed Intel. Apple blew everyone away with M1, was it because of their designs? No, it's because they paid TSMC boatloads of money for exclusivity on their latest fabs. Apple M2 disappoints on CPU performance, is it because of their designs? No, it's because TSMC's next fab isn't ready yet so they're still using the same fabs as M1.

These days I care more about which TSMC process node my chips came from than which company designed them. I need a new computer but I'm waiting until next year because there will be a wave of new CPUs and GPUs coming out with much better performance. Better designs? Maybe a little, but it's really because they're all moving to TSMC N4.

I really hope Pat Gelsinger can save Intel's fab business because we really need another company that can compete in fabs and Samsung isn't doing too hot either.
I’ve been journaling daily for the past few years and it’s been really fun to tick through each day around a year previous to observe my current state. Most of it seems trite or meaningless, but collated it feels like a meaningful picture of who I was back then — what my struggles were and how they split between the distant and close.

TLDR; I highly recommend journaling daily. It forces you to slow down and plug into feelings which is automatically a better start to your day than usual
> Reading Hamlet as an adult simply blew my mind.

Shakespeare has really improved their writing over the years. In high school, the Bard was tedious, had little of relevance to say, and the language was absurdly complicated. Much improved since then.
Unlike web3, there is no flood of altcoins that early VC investors got in ICOs and are trying to dump onto retail.

It's all based on bitcoin as the foundational timechain that periodically locks in state changes.

As bitcoin is the most immutable database to ever exist in human civilization, it only makes sense to use it rather than try to spin up some new network.
> Personally, the grey rainy weather was never really off putting for me. But that's probably because I was born here and I'm used to it. It's like that Bane quote from Batman: "Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!"

haha same as me. I don't mind it but I'm used to it.

Though another colleague of mine from elsewhere has a better answer those that dislike the PNW winter. He'd assert that no, winter is the best time of the year in the PNW. Why? Because when it's raining in the city, it's snowing in the mountains. Learn to snowboard and it'll be your favourite time of year too.
Or consider most people are being tricked as the other person was saying.
An opportunity to do things differently. The Internet today have flaws and we had exhausted all the possible way to build a better one on existing technology.

Blockchain present us with a new way to coordinate online activities and transactions. It's the right path forward? We don't know, at least not until we exhaust all the possible options and therein lies a lot of opportunities for technical breakthroughs that could possible solve all the concerns we had, technically.
This is why I like electron applications at times. Bought a php helper application that "upgraded" to a major version, doubled the price and had an annoying popup and just plain started behaving wonky. Spent several minutes with the asar file, unpacked everything, stripped all the api calls and swapped a few binaries with newer versions, repackaged and good as new.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I really think people should ignore bench scores and run the processes they need themselves. See what it feels like, and how comfortable you are with that.

Benchmarks are good for bragging rights and maybe convincing over-zealous accounting to approve a purchase (but even then that’s probably not all there is to it.)
Do Kwon in more trouble
We had an engineer in India get an M1 MBP last month and most things worked, but the docker container for MS SQL had big issues and he had to get an Intel MBP to be able to work. I suspect that those issues will dissipate with time. Right now, I find it annoying that the only OTP auth apps that are available for the Mac require Apple Silicon as they're essentially iPhone apps with new skins. I really want to be able to get something like Google Auth in my menu bar so I don't have to pull out my phone every time I need a code for Okta.
Yes, that seems like a better approach. This is where a marketing or a PR person is helpful.
1. In the State of Nevada, around Area 51, there are signs reading: "Use of deadly force authorized". I'm not aware of anyone who has ever been killed by trespassing into Area 51, but the government has given itself that option and made it public. I don't see why a similar policy couldn't be enacted regarding unauthorized drone flybys of military ships.

2. If the theory that these drones are the work of an adversarial nation state is correct, then shooting down the drones would not provoke an ostensible reaction from said government. China (or whoever is behind them) telling the world that the US "illegally" destroyed their drones would blow the cover on these mysterious drone incidents and legitimize the destruction of every other drone observed displaying the same behavior in the future.

3. Other countries, and you know which countries I'm talking about (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) have no qualms about provoking international incidents. Shooting down suspicious drones near US waters would be returning the favor. Iran destroyed a US Navy drone in the Persian Gulf a few years ago.

"People sleep soundly at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
I don't know naval law but I'm trying to apply your first point to a drone flying over a restricted airspace like an embassy. It's not you starting an incident when you shoot the drone down. You can choose not to respond to the provocation of course, but I'd imagine you'd want the drone down for security reasons. It can potentially carry a warhead or biological weapon.

You don't need to use your best know-how to shoot the drone down. Good occasion to practice less-preferred methods.
YOLOv5: State-of-the-art object detection at 140 FPS (2020)
The article says 40 employees not hundreds, but I imagine that 40 of Apple's top chip talent is going to hurt, that is a lot of brain power to lose!

Seems some employees took more than themselves to Rivos. "at least two former Apple engineers took gigabytes of confidential information with them to Rivos."
Radial menus have the same problem(admittedly to a lesser degree) as icon fields(for example, a phone home screen, or most file explorers), they fail to be well sorted and as such are harder then they need to be to find things. A linear list with a search option, or better yet a table where you can sort by several attributes is a better option.
This better explains how ruthlessly focused UI design needs to be. User Interface design needs to know the person on the other side, what their motives are and what makes them feel like they have superpowers. OpenSSL is a system. A GUI needs to bridge the gap between the system and the user, and it can’t be done in one implementation, because the types of user is super diverse. Makes the whole act of UI design increasingly challenging and fun all at the same time
New companies offer an absence of technical and cultural debt.

Nuvia was purchased for $1.4 billion by Qualcomm, a couple of years after being started.
Qubes is the best for managing VMs, it’s known as a security minded distro but it’s really the most well thought out VM manager I’ve seen. VMs are so well integrated.
This. I'll make a product for someone in a few weekends, working 18 hours a day for a few weeks straight,

Then I won't have the energy for a few months.

Probably evens out to an employer, but imo you do better when the snowball is rolling longer without breaks.

That's the secret to 10x. ADHD and don't stop. Stopping is the enemy, you can't see the forest.

I hear regulation is nice, but tell my mind that.

Been at my employer for 10 years making cool shit if that matters.
There is heavy investment into anti-drone weapons and defense systems. Directed energy weapons in particular are quite effective against small drones.
Wait did you actually say "all money falls into the greater fool category"?

You... Really ought to look up what greater fool theory is. And maybe money, too, while you're at it.
yeah but if you can trick the user to do that, you can already trick him to do more
Ah thanks, this finally makes sense in context
> It used to be the case that URL parsers would remove newlines and tabs, so we could split long URLs across lines and even format their query parameters nicely with tabs. Unfortunately, this was taken advantage of for data exfiltration via HTML injection and we no longer have this nice thing as URL parsers have been made more strict to prevent this kind of attack.

Does anyone have a source/reference for this?
They still have that promo. It's actually every 7th cup is free.
++, totally. I think a lot of people are linking CPU engineering with SW engineering because they both work with the same product at the end of the day, but the industries are radically different both from a business and culture standpoint. The "go fast and break things" mentality that pervades the SV software startup scene is, in my experience, no where to be found in hardware because it's both incredibly costly to make any mistakes and because most CPU divisions are lead by people with decades of experience (rather than the mishmash that is startups).

The author's argument here about talent leaving after having "gotten Apple off x64" is such an odd take. It's not as if Apple started designing these chips after the M1 launched—the pipeline for even small SoCs is often five or more years. The bit about Rivos is especially bizarre because that company was founded in 2021, well after this chip must have been taped out.
Very interested once this can target k8s :)
I like how this was downvoted with no comments. Stay classy, HN
June is often a bit wetter than one would think (calling it Juneuary is the joke), but it has been an incredibly and insanely cold and rainy spring this year.

In Vancouver I think it was a day in early May that was the coldest on record with the temperature not even reaching 10 degrees celsius.
The report says that the ships were not equipped with C-UAS systems.
> hygenic, reusable, durable, looks nice

Metal is probably a little more durable, but wooden chopsticks are plenty durable as well as hygienic and look great. Wooden chopsticks are also easier to use and don't transfer heat.

Calling metal chopsticks more practical is highly dubious given everywhere uses wooden chopsticks and basically only Korea uses metal chopsticks. Moreover, even in Korea wooden and bamboo chopsticks are also used.
A ship at sea, naval or otherwise, is traveling in the commons and we are all legally allowed to look at it and record what we see.
Or may be we need to view things as a series of events, than just one big bang event that triggers every thing after.

Things are always building up to one major event. Those events are as much responsible, as much as the last event before the big war?
Why would compensation be the decisive factor for top talent in a highly compensated field? They have probably already made enough money that they don't have to work for living, and they are probably genuinely interested in their work because they made it to the top. Apple processors are already in the market, so the most interesting work is done, and it may be time to start looking for new challenges.
Well they aren't the richest and certainly aren't the biggest.
Though isn't Edge just a MS skinned Chromium? It's only increased the consolidation onto Google's Blink engine.
A few comments here about how Apple is losing a lot of top talent to rival Rivos, a stealth startup.

What would Rivos business model be? I’m genuinely interested seems interesting to me.

Would they be positioning themselves as the next Qualcomm?

Or perhaps sell a superior chip to Apple at some point?
Yes, it was clear that you aren't endorsing this. However, people who behave badly usually have to face consequences from other people. The selfish person is rarely just selfish at work. They take it home to their families and live with the consequences of pretty weak relationships. The greedy are never satisfied with what they have, so they're in a constant state of wanting. That's a pretty unpleasant place to be.
It can’t be a mixed bag when it’s so heavily tilted with the blue states being better.
I'm not claiming you claimed it was a simple specification :-)

I just find it interesting. This would indicate to me that there are 500 "features" in the language. I thought mark-down languages just provided a few shortcuts for producing the most commonly needed HTML features and then provide a fallback to HTML. So if you cannot do it in the markdown language, use HTML instead.
As a remember as a teenager I wrote a program that would constantly call the beep function (read: loud squeals from your motherboard speaker, if you had one, and not affected by volume controls so you couldn’t turn it off easily) and then that program would use the Win32 APIs to also poll for any task manager windows you might launch and minimize them immediately so that you couldn’t kill the process. I sent beep.exe to some of my friends on AIM at the time and they ran it (it was a simpler time) and were not amused- even after I told them they could just restart their computer to make it stop.

(I had a version that added itself to the registry to auto run at startup, but even my teenage self thought that was a bit too far).
> When those details were popular, there existed a surfeit of skilled manual labor

I sure wonder if serf hovels had those ornate details. Something tells me it mostly showed up on a small fraction of structures.
You think it's rough being 10. Trying being 10,000x.
