Reasonable number of regular screws 4-8 seems fair. If the battery in normal use lasts appropriate time let's say 4-6 hours at minimum. Otherwise yes, it should be toolless and even somewhat swappable in hibernation.
Performance of Ruby is pretty darn good tbh. Performance of Rails is another question tho.
I feel like `serial` has got to be pretty fast for writes and gives you some nice properties like sorted ordering based on insertion time, a smaller key, and a key that can be compressed far better than a uuid.

I get the idea of a ULID/UUID7 encoding a timestamp so you get sorted order, but I wonder at what scale that beats just using serial.
This is cool! Do you think you could get Hugo to run in the browser this way so you could show live-previews in the browser without having to run Hugo locally?

Social interaction could be called unsupervised, we'd just need to adopt a little chat bot :)

As for the physical parts: isn't that a loss function? Reward/dopamine if you reach your goal (walking), pain if you do what the rules/the body does not allow.

Shower thought: Is anyone working on ground-assisted takeoff of aircraft using something like an aircraft catapult? It seems like it would be fairly straightforward to provide the initial momentum of an aircraft and save a bit of fuel & weight. Sure, you're not gaining much just getting the aircraft up to takeoff speed, but it seems like an easy way to make commercial flights more efficient.
I came here to say this.

If the author is trying to say that self-destructive behavior can show up in many forms, then sure. But if you take responsibility for your own decisions, you should spend less than you earn and eat less than you can (unless you're in the most extreme case for which government welfare is your lifeline)

Something weird is happening with this HN submission. Despite the submission time saying "5 hours ago" and the time on most of the comments saying "2 hours ago" or less, I clearly remember seeing both this submission and several of the exact comments yesterday.

If I hover over "5 hours ago" on the submission at the top, I see the timestamp "2022-06-11T12:51:31". If that's in my time zone, that was 1 day, 10 hours ago. If that's GMT, it was even longer ago.

Clearly this submission has "resurfaced" with all of the relative time information changed, but the underlying timestamps on the post preserved.

I have archived the page as I see it for future reference: https://web.archive.org/web/20220612175242/https://news.ycom...

Anyone know how this could have happened? @dang?
It used to mesh a lot better, when general aviation was much bigger than it is now and we had lots of tiny airports. Maybe we could get back to that. VTOL makes it a bit easier.
I see gridlines on my iPhone, but only if I zoom in a lot. I'm guessing this is a case of "designed and exported on Retina display, for Retina display". Because yeah, in true 1-bit image there won't be a grey gridline.
The article says, and you quoted it, “We show that we need to transition to a global plant-based economy *first*”.

The article is daft propaganda. Yes, we need to eat a mainly vegetable diet, no animal husbandry is not the supermajority driver of climate change.
If half of the commercial real estate is forced to convert to residential due to remote work then there's your new supply.
If you open it in GIMP, say, and zoom in the grid lines are clearly part of the image. It's a mess.
Imagine the room for innovation if these companies stop blindingly chase being thin: modular, 2 pieces, not-shit webcam... applies to phones too.
That‘s in my experience also the best approach. I wrote an article a few days ago about the exact thing: An integer auto incrementing PK with an UUID you use externally:

It would be slow and doesn't really serve a purpose since you either have uuids that are totally random or uuids that need to preserve their structure.
> If Bitcoin is the equivalent of Yahoo, what are the equivalents of Amazon and Google?

I’ve been thinking in a similar direction recently. I think it was Doctorow that pointed out the decentralization->centralization progression of the web due to the time lag for big players to understanding the value prop and gradually iterate on their offerings (eg Google taking over email with Gmail).

My guess here is that the centralized systems to learn the lessons from crypto will be the Visa, Mastercard, NACHA, and the Fed. Perhaps we’ll see a smart contract platform built into existing exchanges like NASDAQ.

The blockchain bit will fall away for the most part because the big guys will not actually let the “trustless” system become the seat of power in the economy. And you can build all of the business-facing features without a distributed ledger. (Trivial existence proof - just run a private ETH blockchain and expose a public API for it. This is kind of the Ripple approach here, cutting big deals with existing players.) Reversability and “right to deletion” will trump trustless because most of the actual market participants want the former and not the latter.

Note, I think there is a different analysis for the US, EU etc (with functioning, stable economies with huge financial service industries resisting power shifts) and basket-case economies like Argentina and Zimbabwe. Perhaps the people in Argentina will continue to use blockchain as an alternative financial system in the absence of a long-term stable economy. But I don’t think this will be the outcome in the US.
Yup. Instead of requiring USB Type C chargers EU should have required selling chargers separately.

Same for OS and computers and phones.

The setup process is already cumbersome both for Windows and for MacOS.
The only use case I can think where matlab beats Python or Julia is when one has a lot of legacy code. It's funny that you mention documentation, the amount of documentation found around Python is typically much better than matlab. Matlab toolboxes are really hit and miss, some are very good, but there are some really crappy ones. If you actually need to include more traditional programming features matlab becomes a hot mess. Looking at matlab GUI code gives me nightmares for weeks....

Many SVGs can "fail gracefully" though, like you can have a huge SVG with all these embedded whatevers, but still render it with like 80-90% fidelity if you just ignore the parts you don't want to support. Not good enough, right? Until you consider that the web itself is similar... every browser just does its best guess of intent, given a poorly standardized syntax and incompatible renderers. Maybe it's a little better now these days, with strict modes and doctypes and caniuse, but it's still far from perfect. Add in JS and API differences between WebKit and Blink and... don't ya miss Flash? ;)

SVG was meant for web (vs, say, PostScript or EPS), so for it to be useful dynamically, it always had to support some subset of the DOM styling systems... namely CSS and XML-like structure. Once you had that, though, it was only expected that embedded fonts, masks, filters, etc. would come too, iterating alongside the web itself. Then, its instability becomes a double-edged sword... like the web, it constantly gains new features; like the web, it is incredibly difficult to standardize; and like the web, no two platforms will ever display a single SVG quite the same.

SVG was never meant to be a stable archival format for vectors, just a way to represent controllable shapes on the web alongside text and rasters. It's not a "PDF for graphics" format, more like a "vectors and controllability for web" format.

If its expected target output is the web, it makes sense that web browsers would be the expected renderer. Just like you wouldn't use HTML Canvas to share rasters between desktop apps, there's not really a good reason to use SVG to share vectors outside of the web. A lot of vector graphics programs support some subset of SVG features, but very few of them can properly utilize its underlying power -- an embeddable, controllable part of the DOM -- as opposed to treating it like any other "dumb" vector format.

<side rant>
If you actually want something archival-capable and readable later on with full fidelity, some older version of .AI is probably safer? It's easier for a single vendor to maintain backward compatibility than for an entire ecosystem of independent open-source teams to try to parse and guess at each other's specific subset of SVG features & implementations, all while the format itself keeps changing. Sometimes the proprietary stuff actually has value... whether it's SVG vs AI or OpenOffice XML vs Word, the single-vendor solutions are far better at maintaining document fidelity over the years. Yes, that sucks, and oftentimes the vendors will go out of way to embrace, extend, extinguish the open formats (moreso Microsoft than Adobe), but really, once Flash was gone, the web lost its only truly interoperable vectors interchange format. SVG is just what we're left with, not what's best.

Sad to see the XPS 13 starting out ~10 years ago as a "super"-portable (it was the one that introduced the tiny bezels, if anyone remembers), but still proper laptop, then turning into this fashion monster today.

No headphone jack? C'mon, you must be joking.

I don't even dare to ask if there is going to be a "developer" version of this running Linux, because the target market is so different now I cannot imagine it makes any sense. But OK, in the meantime other players like System76 and Tuxedo are getting better and better - it is not such a void anymore in the Linux laptop space that used to be.
> I was increasingly getting upset about their extension marketplace, where there is an increased number of extensions starting to sell pro versions of the extensions we used for free.

So, "I'm a professional developer, but I don't like other programmers getting paid for their extensions (that I do, nonetheless, find valuable, and want to use)"?

As you said, you support some policies where you lose, don't assume others do too. Politics is the allocation of limited resources with the threat of violence or other outcomes (like prison time), same as gunpoint robbery, don't paint it like a peaceful paradise where everyone sings Kumbaya.
One thing I note from listening to my wife talking about her work, which is in molecular biology of human neurons, is that there seems to be so many signalling mechanisms, vs just one in the neural nets I’ve seen in software.

Like, there are more than 40 separate neurotransmitters, each effectively a float output, I think? So at each synapse at every instant, potentially 40 separate floats can be communicated.

And then there’s adjacency - the network they were studying this spring they suspect is communicating using the electric fields around the neurons, so adjacent but unconnected neurons influence each other via electrical induction.

And then it’s like - and my wife says there’s no evidence neurons do this - but cells can rewrite their own DNA to store information. So each neuron is a tiny microcomputer with 40 pwm outputs and what, thousands of inputs, and 350Mib of read/write memory. And there’s 86 Billion of them in each brain?!

It just seems so much larger than a matrix of floats and weights.

Miriam does allude to the thing that I normally don't like about discussions of the Indieweb's shortcomings: holy shit is it a lot of work to get the ecosystem where it needs to be.

Typically there are people who come along to be defensive about where it already is, and a lot of what exists is really great! But:

* the polish necessary to get things to a point where normies can participate is a massive amount of work on top of the technical primitives that exist

* the only people who can do that work are the kinds of people who already don't need it for themselves

* the basic structure of the Indieweb is to build your own thing, not a platform for others

So the folks doing the work contra those incentives end up being rare heroes, so of course it then sucks when people come along and say "but why isn't it as smooth as using BigTechPlatform?" BigTechPlatform spends millions on engineering salaries to make it smooth! The Indieweb has, like, aaronpk and Tantek Çelik.

(That's an exaggeration, there are a bunch of small tools and projects out there done by a lot of devs, but you have to be a dev yourself to set them up or hook them all together.)
People get obsessive and fall in love with fictional characters or people on onlyfans, it's not surprising that people could fall for an chatbot in the right conditions.
It is certainly a cultural trait. So many people conflate physiological race with sociological culture that it's an impossible conversation.

Why does is it make sense to compare RGB32 to YUV?

I would’ve thought simple RGB24 to be a more apt comparison in the context below:

With RGB32, you need 32 bits per pixel. With an YUV 4:2:0 format, for 4 pixels you need to store a total of 6 samples, so 6x8= 48 bits. That is effectively 48/4 = 12 bits per pixel, so only 37.5% of RGB32. That matters.
Actually, "plain paper" could easily be a "plain poppadum", since the Hindi word is pronounced papaD, with a deep D that is close to an R (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papadam#Spelling_and_pronuncia...). I've seen this mistake before on restaurant menus, so it may not be Google AI at fault.
Transportation economics are dominated by the passengers per pilot ratio. Small vehicles aren't economic unless they are piloted by a passenger or an AI.

AI piloting should be easier with aircraft than cars.
Unsupervised doesn't mean "no feedback", it means classifying things based on feedback/experience without being explicitly told how to classify things.

When a kid touches a hot stove, they classify it as bad/dangerous through feedback - unsupervised learning. Not because a parent comes by later and says "Hey! Look, your hand is burnt! That's bad because I say it is!" - supervised learning.

You can even see supervised learning in kids to some extent: when they play barber shop and get a butchered hair cut, you often see kids be perfectly fine and happy even with the outcome, through lack of supervision they don't yet have any negative experience from doing this. Then a supervisor comes along (parent) who freaks out and the kid learns through supervision "oh no! I did something bad because mom said so!"
All that's needed is alignment with the cosmos. A model need only be able to commute with reality to provide a useful metaphorical explanation. And then the challenge becomes decoding the metaphor to figure out the literal alignments and misfits. This is why every religious/spiritual perspective needs more investigation and experimentation, not less.

Once science is more shaped by applied category theory, this will become a common understanding.

Speaking as someone who made a joke design-your-own-religion religion that's a creative packaging of neuroscience, math, computer science, and psychology, I was very surprised to start being able to connect deeper with people carrying deeply-held religious/spiritual beliefs and to start identifying wisdom from their perspectives. This also allowed both parties to at least open up to considering each others' perspectives and sometimes shifting them.

And believing a model is literally true or metaphorically commutative isn't a necessary distinction for a model to be useful, though it does seem to impact the depth to which it can be embodied.

Turning belief on and off is a skill I see discussed way more in mystic circles than in science circles, where belief denial seems to be the norm.
>Paying for software does not have a relationship with quality.

I'm taking "paying for software" here to mean "commercial" vs "open source", or "incoming money oriented" vs "community building oriented" development.

Since, of course, you can also pay for open source, and there are free editions of proprietary commercial software, and foss can be sponsored by a big company who pays for 99% of the developer time through selling something else - so a distinction based on "paying" alone is not useful.

So, does open source/free vs proprietary/commercial make any difference with regards to quality?

It might not make in abstract, across the whole market, but in certain aspects and markets it does.

No open source DAW (audio/midi editor) or NLE (video editor) is even close to commercial ones, for example.

If you plotted features, maturity, stability, performance, etc. for foss and commercial versions of this types of product, you'd see a clear clustering of proprietary commercial software where you pay a lot for and free foss ones.

The same is true for many pro fields.

With all the talk about environmental conservation that we do, it's really important to talk about the damage companies are doing to our planet by making unreliable products in hopes of encouraging wasteful consumerism.
I have bought dell computers for years, and while they are reliable for the most part, each model I've bought has has serious flaws that make most people dispose of the entire computer after 1-3 years of use. So many companies (especially cell phone makers) now put out models that fail or slow down after 1-3 years and this is creating a horrible amount of waste that contributes heavily to destruction of the environment in production and disposal, water pollution, and many other negative impacts of all of us financially.

Device failure often means lost photos, work, and vital documents, we rarely hear about the stories of this now because it's marked unpopular and downvoted by online algos. It's 2022 and we still don't have failproof hard drives, even though SSDs have been in place for many years now. Planned obsolescence, and product unreliability needs to have more serious consequences for large companies, especially the ones that have R&D units, it's really an ugly lie for modern devices to fail and have flaws as much as they do.
I tried 3 replacement batteries on my XPS13 (2016) before it started charging properly. It straight up refused to charge the first battery (power led flashes amber), stopped charging the second after a few days and required unplug&plug (which screwed up the chassis). I finally found one on Aliexpress that worked.

It was a horrible experience for me as a broke student going through all that trouble in a non-US country, with no way to actually purchase a genuine replacement.
I have tried Pi as only PC, I gave up after a short bit. Not to go too much on a tangent, my takeaway is it depends on YOUR life and work whether or not any computer will work.

If you can limit yourself within low resolution, small color pallete, direct use of simple graphics API, basicalyl target the computing experience of when computers had 50mhz CPU. Then its possible to make things blazing fast even on a Pi, using ANY language? I'm sure on a "well ackshually" level there is some difference in how the CPU executes things but practically its like milliseconds and milliamps not anything perceptable.

WIth C Im not sure if I know what im talking about here (i've compiled hello world with gcc myself, otherwise i know how to use Make even though i dont understand it but ive also never needed to understand it, but seems like every project uses makefiles or something like it...) but isn't compiling SDL or libdraw a 1 time thing the very first time you build the program, then each time you make a change to orca.c it compiles pretty quick (until 'make clean')? you dont include the time to re-compile uxn emulator when you say uxn is 50x faster?

I absolutely loved the LG Gram 17 (2021) but I had to return it for one reason - the screen was way too glossy. I simply couldn't use it anywhere outside my home (where I'm able to set up lighting in an optional way), which kind of defeats the purpose of having such a lightweight laptop. I've used other laptops with glossy displays and I don't recall it being such issue. Maybe the max brightness was too low to compensate for the very high reflectivity of the glossy display? In all other respects, I thought the laptop was excellent and truly a standout.
